Chapter 384: Changfeng County Lord
"But it's hard." Young Master Chen was shocked by such bold words, and his eyes widened in astonishment.
He has been in Zhao State for many years and deeply understands the nature of Mu Shuzhi, who will never tolerate anyone touching his scales. Rong Zihong and the poor woman behind Rong Zihong are the deepest taboos in his heart. How easy is it to redress Rong Zihong's grievances?
Yun Rao didn't speak, but Mu Yunge straightened up, gritted his teeth and said, "Compared to my father's grievances, what is this difficulty?" β
"But......" Young Master Chen opened his mouth and couldn't help but persuade: "But in everyone's minds, Your Majesty deserves it, even if I set a precedent this time, I'm afraid it will be as difficult as the sky." The young master is the only bloodline of His Majesty, and the old minister hopes that the young master will not take risks, no matter what, he can't let His Majesty be the last one! β
Yun Rao shook her head, she had a lot of things to say, but when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed them again.
Mu Yunge looked straight into Young Master Chen's eyes and said coldly: "Young Master Chen has concluded like this, I can't fight Mu Shuzhi?" β
"When it comes to understanding Mu Shuzhi, the young master is afraid that he is not as good as the old minister." Young Master Chen said and sighed: "Lao Chen has lived for most of his life, but he has only seen him, he can live so shamelessly, cunning and disguised, if you use the word traitor to describe him, it is still polite." This person is a jackal, tiger and leopard! β
"Then there are jackals, tigers and leopards, now they are also old, and when they are old, their claws will wear out, their teeth will be loose, and they will never think about it again!" Mu Yunge raised the corners of his mouth, and his eyes showed a bit of bloodthirsty green light.
The mystery of Xizhao is like going through the road of the Eastern Wei Dynasty again, the difference is that this time, she is not to raise her Mu family, but to give birth to her Rong Zihong! This time, she is not for power or profit, but for the reputation of the deceased!
Mu Yunge didn't plan to spread everything out now, so that Young Master Chen could understand. This person is useful, but on the way to redress grievances, he is already dying, his body and ability are not as good as before, and he can't always be with him, but can only be used as the ultimate weapon to knock down Mu Shuzhi at critical moments.
Mu Yunge blessed his body, and said softly: "Please Young Master Chen don't worry, I will never take risks." I came here today to ask for something besides meeting my father's teacher. β
"The young master's request for words is really tormenting the old minister! Young master, please say yes. Young Master Chen was so frightened that he almost knelt down again.
Mu Yunge stopped him and smiled slightly: "I want to know, who is still alive today who was the insider of the old things?" β
"This ......" Young Master Chen didn't expect her to ask about this, and after thinking about it carefully, he said: "His Majesty's condition worsened back then, and Mu Shuzhi was afraid that he would not be able to survive the day when he gave way, so he decided to instigate a mutiny. Lao Chen got the news relatively late, and when he wanted to enter the palace, the palace had already been controlled by Mu Shuzhi. I heard that in that coup d'Γ©tat, Mu Shuzhi killed many people, from the palace maids around His Majesty to His Majesty's gentlemen, all of whom were spared. β
"That is, no one survived......" Mu Yunge lowered his eyes and muttered to himself.
When Young Master Chen heard this, he sighed before he said, "It's not that no one survived, but the people who survived didn't know much." However, there is one person who is an exception. β
"Who?" Mu Yunge was very surprised in his heart, in that case, how could there be an exception.
Young Master Chen's eyes showed a hint of reminiscence, and he said slowly: "She was the ruler of the Queen Mother's side back then, she grew up watching Her Majesty since she was a child, and she was also the one who witnessed all the conspiracies of Mu Shuzhi. I don't know if the young master has heard of the prestigious Changfeng county lord of Zhao back then? β
"The county lord of Changfeng was born in the royal clan Liwang Mansion, his personality is perverse, he is not tolerated by the clan, and he was expelled from the mansion when he was young. Later, Liwangfu offended another royal family and suffered a catastrophe. The county lord of Changfeng took the body of a woman, overcame thorns and thorns, and it took three months to finally avenge the entire Liwang Mansion and slash the enemy. It was also in this revenge that the lord of Changfeng offended Emperor Wen, was arrested by the officials, and was demoted to an official slave. β
"The first queen mother, that is, my grandmother is a lady of the official family, inadvertently passed by the envoy workshop where the slaves were imprisoned, and saw that the lord of Changfeng was bullied, so she ransomed her, and from then on, the lord of Changfeng followed her grandmother. After her grandmother married into the palace, the lord of Changfeng also entered the palace with her grandmother. My grandfather was a fair man and redressed his grievances for the lord of Changfeng. β
"The county lord of Changfeng, who has washed his grievances, is over thirty years old, and he has nothing to love, so he voluntarily stayed in the palace and became the ruler of his grandmother's palace." This period of history, Mu Yunge knew it clearly from the day he knew his life experience: "A lot of things happened later, Mu Shuzhi tried to get rid of the Changfeng County Lord many times, but he couldn't do it. Until he instigated a coup d'Γ©tat, the Queen Mother hanged herself in the Xianren Palace, the Xianren Palace was ignited by a stray arrow, and the fire burned for three days and three nights, and everything was reduced to nothing, including the lord of Changfeng. β
Young Master Chen nodded, and after hearing this, he shook his gray head again: "Lord Changfeng is not dead, she left the palace through the secret passage in the palace. The fire in Xianren's Palace was set by herself. β
"I see, you have solved the biggest doubt in my heart for so many years." Yun Rao listened to it for a long time, and suddenly said out loud: "Zihong's remains have been hanging on the plane tree for a few days, and the corpse smells bad, and no one is willing to restrain him. I sneaked into the palace and stole Zihong's remains, remembering that Zihong's mother was also pitiful, so I went to Xianren Palace. Hyeonin Palace was completely in ruins, and I rummaged through the ruins and found two skeletons. But the bones of these two corpses and the bones of the hands are complete. β
As we all know, when the county lord of Changfeng was full of enemies for the bloody cleansing of Liwang's mansion, the little finger of his left hand was cut off by a sharp sword, so the county lord of Changfeng only had nine fingers.
At that time, Yun Rao suspected that the county lord of Changfeng was not dead at all......
When Yun Rao left the palace with huge doubts, she took Rong Zihong's remains with her. After thinking about it, he left the remains of Rong Zihong's mother in Xianren Palace, and took away one of the hand bones of another corpse. This is why, for so many years, Mu Shuzhi has never doubted that the Changfeng County Lord is not dead!
After that, Yun Rao searched in every possible way, but she never found the Changfeng County Lord again!
Mu Yunge immediately understood, but soon, she didn't understand: "Grandmother has been imprisoned by Mu Shuzhi for many years, and there is only one Changfeng County Lord by her side, if it really comes to naught, there should be two corpses." If that corpse is not the Lord of Changfeng, who is it? β
This question is also something that Yun Rao can't understand.
When Mu Shuzhi imprisoned the Queen Mother, it was really three layers inside and three layers outside, the Queen Mother had only one Changfeng County Lord as a companion, and the three palaces next to the Palace Xianren Palace were all not allowed to live in them, which can be said to be really isolating the Queen Mother completely, and only on a fixed day did Rong Zihong enter the Xianren Palace to visit the Queen Mother.
In the harem, all the palace maids and inner eunuchs were instructed not to approach the Xianren Palace, let alone talk to the people in the Xianren Palace.
There are palace maids who have committed taboos, and were killed by Mu Shuzhi with a cane, and after killing a hundred people, no one dares to disobey Mu Shuzhi's intentions. In other words, in that case, there would be no palace maids passing by in Xianren Palace at all, and there would be no possibility of providing a stand-in for the Changfeng County Lord!
In this way, there is only one explanation left......
The person who died in the Xianren Palace instead of the Changfeng County Lord was simply willing to send the Changfeng County Lord to death.
"What is the reason for this, that it is worth such a sacrifice for one for another?" Yun Rao obviously thought of it with Mu Yunge, she frowned, and her cold mask looked a little indifferent: "It seems that only by finding the Changfeng County Lord can this mystery be solved!" β
The two discussed in a condensed voice, but Young Master Chen on the side couldn't interject, and he was so anxious that he tried to interrupt them several times but failed.
Finally waited for the two to be silent, and then Chen Shaofu said what the two had always wanted to hear: "The county lord of Changfeng is still alive, back then, she was the one who informed me to leave the imperial capital quickly." I heard that several adults in the court who knew the inside story at that time received news from her, but they refused to leave except me. β
"Young master......" Yun Rao's eyebrows were dyed with joy.
She knew that this Young Master Chen was a person, and the stubborn temper of the literati made them rather die than give in, unless, he had something more important to do than death!
When Young Master Chen saw her expression, he knew that she had never looked down on her personality, and the old Long Zhong's face showed a hint of relaxation, and he once again knelt down respectfully: "The old minister thanks the lady for her trust and forgiveness, when the old minister left the imperial capital, he was indeed entrusted by the county lord of Changfeng to do one thing." The county lord handed the old minister a copy of the queen mother's notebook, and she took the queen mother's blood book, and our soldiers fled separately in two ways, just hoping that one day, this secret could be seen again. β
"Where's the manual?" Mu Yunge was overjoyed and asked hurriedly.
Young Master Chen said: "I put it in a very safe place, if the young master needs it, I will go back to Zhao to get it." β
Mu Yunge let out a long sigh of relief, as long as the handwriting is safe, it doesn't matter where it is. She smiled: "There's no need to be in such a hurry, Young Master Chen can rest in peace here." Just when my mother and I have never been here, you are not a remnant of the previous dynasty of Zhao Guo, so take care of your old age. When the overall situation is stable, there will be a place for the young master. β
The dust settled on the big thing in his heart, Yun Rao and Young Master Chen talked for a while, and then got up to leave.
Before leaving, Mu Yunge instructed Tang Linyi: "Senior brother, the people of Xizhao have some strange books, I am afraid that they will find here, we must protect the safety of Young Master Chen, and I can't be careless." β
"I'll save it." Tang Linyi knew that for their mother and daughter, the biggest thing now was to avenge Rong Zihong's grievances, so why wouldn't they care?
Tang Linyi personally sent their mother and daughter away, with a respectful expression, and Young Master Chen, who was watching from the side, frowned, but there was a little happy smile in his eyes. Waiting for Yun Rao and Mu Yunge to leave, he smiled and asked Tang Linyi, who seemed to him to be particularly capable: "This little brother, I have a question that is a little abrupt, I don't know if to ask?" β
"You want to ask, what does the young master do?" Tang Linyi smiled slightly.
A young girl who is determined to clear her father's grievances, if she doesn't have an identity background that can hold up, she is afraid that she will hit a stone with an egg, and Young Master Chen has to worry.
Young Master Chen nodded, and Tang Linyi smiled again: "Young Master, she is the queen mother of the Eastern Wei Dynasty!" β
