Chapter 162: A New Premeditation
The air in the Taiji Hall instantly froze, and the Queen Mother's eyes like night wolves on the throne appeared even colder.
Tan Daoji was very dissatisfied with the tone of the Queen Mother's questioning, he was a founding general, how could he be such a reluctant, treacherous, traitorous person seeking glory!
Thinking of this, he raised his head confidently and asked the Queen Mother: "What does the Queen Mother mean by this?" Didn't the Queen Mother compare her ministers with Zhu Chaoshi and other traitors who seek glory? ! ”
Tan Daoji's strong speech was something that the Queen Mother had never expected, she stared at Tan Daoji, thinking about how to make a choice, whether to trust him to continue to appoint, or to hold him accountable and send him to the dungeon to make an example.
Xu Xianzhi still respectfully Hou Li's side, he didn't seem to plan to help Tan Daoji intercede, he wished that the Queen Mother would punish him, and he would send charcoal in the snow again to win Tan Daoji together.
Tan Daoji was the first general of the Great Song Dynasty, and his prestige in the army could not be underestimated, if he could be persuaded to the command of the three princes, their anti-imperialist dispute would be much easier in the future. The country will also be more stable.
However, although Tan Daoji has outstanding military talents, his head is a tendon. If he was persuaded to change his position and return to the camp under normal circumstances, he would definitely disdain it, and even cause trouble. Only when he personally saw the fact of the defeat of the imperial court and was completely cold to the imperial court, could it be possible to win him over.
Xu Xianzhi's thoughts at this time are the same as Xiao Minglang's deliberate return to the mountain.
The 150,000 army led by Tan Daoji was defeated by Zhu Chaoshi without the slightest effort, which was already suspicious in itself, and Tan Daoji was unscathed and returned all the way unimpeded, how could it not be suspicious?
The Queen Mother and Xie Hui were really suspicious, and Xiao Minglang's plan finally achieved its goal.
Xie Hui rolled his eyes and thought about it, and suddenly stepped forward to persuade: "General Tan, don't be angry, the Queen Mother definitely doesn't mean that." General Tan's loyalty to the imperial court is obvious to everyone. The minister thought about the queen mother's meaning, but he just wanted to ask General Tan how to break through the siege in the end, and whether the master had set any traps to embarrass the general. ”
The Queen Mother was surprised how Xie Hui suddenly changed his attitude, Tan Daoji's behavior was very clear and there was a major suspicion, how could he help Tan Daoji speak.
The Queen Mother was puzzled for a moment and threw a look at Xie Hui.
Xie Hui nodded at the Queen Mother, and then said, "General Tan, don't kneel, get up quickly!" ”
Tan Daoji didn't dare to move, and looked back at the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother finally smiled, "General Tan, get up, it's the mourning family who has lost his words for a while." ”
Tan Daoji stood up with a flattered and righteous mood, and felt that he couldn't hold his face, so he took the initiative to step forward and ask for help, "Queen Mother, that Zhu Xiao'er has no ability, but relying on good luck for a while, please allow the Queen Mother to allow the minister to send troops to Tongzhou again, and the minister made a military order to the Queen Mother, if he does not remove his head, the minister swears to die!" ”
Xu Xianzhi was so frightened by these words that he couldn't help but tremble for a while, he hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "Why is the general so anxious, at this time, Zhu and the others have won the battle, the sergeants are high, and we have just been defeated, and it is at the time of the downturn, it is really not appropriate to attack again at this time!" ”
Tan Daoji tilted his head angrily and said, "Lord Xu, rest assured, this general's military order is here, and he is sure!" ”
"This ......"
Tan Daoji turned around angrily, choking Xu Xianzhi's words in his throat.
Xie Hui looked at Xu Xianzhi coldly, and the suspicion of him in his heart increased.
The Queen Mother stopped with a smile: "Okay, don't fight." What is the meaning of this fighting, killing and killing, the mourning family may not have seen the princes for a long time, this Luling and Pei County are quite close to the capital, and they should move around more. It was the Mid-Autumn Festival, so they were called home, and the mourning family had to entertain them in person. ”
Tan Daoji was puzzled and asked, "Queen Mother, what does this have to do with sending troops to Tongzhou?" What's more, now that they have already supported their own troops, I am afraid that they will not obey the will of the Queen Mother. ”
The Queen Mother slowly stood up and replied with a smile: "The mourning family has its own way to let them come, as long as they come, everyone sits down and is peaceful, and there will be no war." ”
Xie Hui knew that Xu Xianzhi was about to speak again, so he took the first step and said: "Queen Mother Shengming, the minister immediately sent Zhongshu to write an edict and let them send it." ”
The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction: "Everything is up to Lord Lao Xie." ”
Saying that, the Queen Mother glanced at Tan Daoji and Xu Xian with a smile, supported the eunuch, and entered the inner courtyard with ease.
In the middle of the night, a carriage stopped outside the back door of the Forgotten Dust Building, and the owner of the house opened the door in time, turned on the lamp, and welcomed the guests in the carriage into the door.
Hua Yan walked last, tied the reins to the tree in the courtyard, looked around for a while, and quickly followed.
As soon as she entered the door, the shepherd lady came forward and knelt down with tears in her eyes, "Miss! It's the shepherd who can't stand you, and she can't save the eldest lady and the old lady! The shepherd lady regretted it all day long, and wanted to apologize for her sins with death, but the shepherd mother couldn't escape from this, and she had to wait for the young lady to fall in front of her, and let the young lady fall before she dared to die. Miss, if you have anything to say, just scold! The shepherd has no complaints! ”
The painting was slightly stunned, and the sad memories that she tried to cover up were swept towards her like a flood of beasts! Her heart was broken, but she was still calm on the surface, and she could not let the princess or the princess, or anyone else, notice her weakness, so that she did not even moisten her eyes.
She tried to squeeze out a smile and helped the shepherd to her feet, "Shepherd Niang, you have followed me for so many years, don't you know who I am?" Am I the ignorant and conscience-destroying man who waits for indiscriminate revenge? Draw...... The painter's fault is not you, you sacrificed your life for righteousness, and I am already very indebted. Don't have such bad thoughts again. ”
The shepherd reluctantly wiped her tears, as if she had not changed her mind.
"If you call me Miss, will you listen to my orders?" Huayan saw the shepherd's thoughts, for fear that she would have the idea of suicide again, and then said: "Without my order, you must not have any mistakes, can you do it?" ”
Seeing that the shepherd was still silent, Huayan lowered his face coldly and said strongly: "If you refuse to agree, from now on, don't call me Miss again, the old kindness will end here!" ”
Sheng Lan was anxious, and gently pushed the shepherd, "Shepherd Niang, promise Miss!" ”
The shepherd knew that the painting was for her good, so she kowtowed to the painting three times with tears in her eyes, and then agreed.
Huayan helped her up again, and her heart was mixed, how could she make so many people sacrifice their lives for her.
She quickly collected her mood and said, "Shepherd, I'm going to give you an important task next. ”
The shepherd wiped away her tears and said busily: "Miss just give orders." ”
"Leave the backyard out and don't let anyone in. Cleaning up the secret room that was built earlier is now coming in handy. ”
"Miss, don't worry, the people in this backyard have long been taken away by me, and the secret room is also ready-made."
Huayan nodded, turned to the concubine and said, "Concubine, Pengcheng County is far away, and now the city gate is heavily guarded, so it may be inconvenient to go out of the city at this time." You also have to live in the Forgotten Dust Building first, you can rest assured, the master of the Forgotten Dust Building is like a cloud, and he will be able to protect the concubine thoroughly. He will wait for me to return to Taoyuan to gather enough manpower, and then pick you up to Pengcheng County to meet the three princes. ”
Xin Nan couldn't wait to ask, "What about me?" Can I go to Taoyuan with Sister Yan?! ”
Hua Yan smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, I won't leave you alone again." ”
The concubine has established trust in Huayan, and has not resisted her arrangement, combined with the surrounding forms, hiding in the Forgotten Dust Building is indeed the best choice at the moment.
"Miss Painting is thoughtful, and Hongu is grateful. The palace is looking forward to the triumphant return of Tari and others! The concubine held Huayan's hand tightly, her gaze firm.
"The concubine can live with peace of mind, and the victory is already in hand."
Huayan finished instructing the shepherd mother on everything, changed her outfit, and led Xin Nan and Sheng Lan out of the Forgotten Dust Building.
The shepherd lady was reluctant to send each other, walked outside the gate, Huayan stopped, looked back at the soft light full of windows of the forgotten dust building, her eyes gradually became indifferent, she turned to the shepherd lady and said coldly: "Look at the prison concubine, you must not step out of the forgotten dust building, and strictly block the news from the outside world." ”
The shepherd replied respectfully, "Yes, don't worry, Miss." When will Miss come to pick up the concubine? I'm going to make arrangements in advance. ”
"The next time I come back, it will be the time to take the heir. The concubine will not leave the capital for half a step. After saying lightly, he left.
The shepherd made up her mind and watched the three of them go away, and it took a long time for her to understand the meaning of the painting.
She was amazed by the change in her face and couldn't help but be delighted.
The way out of the city was naturally smooth, and the soldiers guarding the gate let them pass without even looking at the faces of the three of them.
He put his hand to his mouth and sighed hot, silently looking at the back of Huayan and the others walking away, and his heart was extremely excited. Even he knew that the day of a change of dynasty was not far off.
After Lin Wanrou returned to the palace, she was in a panic all day long, and everyone in the harem seemed extremely suspicious to her.
She felt that everyone looked at her with murderous energy, she didn't dare to eat, she didn't dare to sleep, she couldn't even see a petal.
After a few days in a row, she suffered a nervous breakdown and fell ill.
The Queen Mother was only bent on her secret plan, and she had no time to care about Lin Yunrou's life or death. The attendants in the Zhaoyang Palace came to Cixi Palace to report three or four times, but the Queen Mother did not show up at all.
Liu Yifu soaked in the beauty pool, drunk and dreaming of death, unaware.
The huge palace and countless gold and silver are useless to Lin Yunrou at this moment.
The prosperity is gone, and after all, it can't escape the scene of withered leaves.
Lin Yunrou lay alone on the beauty couch, looking at the frosty courtyard, and seemed to understand this truth for the first time.
Of course, all this was not imagined by Lin Yunrou, whether it was the forbidden army patrolling the palace, the maids in the imperial dining room, the eunuchs, or even the Zhaoyang Palace, all of which were installed by Nie Feng. Those hateful gazes were not Lin Yunrou's fantasies, but they emanated from their hearts.
These people are all avengers who were oppressed by the Zhang family and abused the people's power by the emperor, so the family was ruined.
It is precisely the verification of the saying that those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help.
They are unknown, and they are stationed in any post in the palace, whether they are decent or lowly, they are always the one who grasps the lifeblood of the harem. Just wait for the day when their savior will completely liberate the world.
