Chapter 896: Family Affairs
The first to find out that Zhang Jian was dead was Xu Lin, the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Xu. He had originally agreed to meet Zhang Jian the next day, but he couldn't wait for anyone to come, so he had to quietly send someone to see it, and then saw corpses all over the ground.
The people who killed Zhang Jian and his entourage did not deal with and hide these corpses at all, but blatantly let them lie down like that. When the people of the Xu family saw this scene, they didn't even dare to shout, and fled back to the Xu Mansion with a lot of urine, Xu Lin was so frightened that he first asked people to check if anyone was following him, and then let people surround him, for fear that someone would suddenly jump out of somewhere to destroy him.
It was his staff who reminded him: "No matter how bold and reckless they are, they don't dare to rashly do anything to the Hou Ye, hurry up and enter the palace to tell Niangniang and Your Majesty." ”
Xu Lin hurriedly picked up and entered the palace, all the way he was scared, there were only a few people in the capital who dared to do this, and there was no need to guess. Halfway through the road, someone greeted him: "Is it Marquis Xu in front?" ”
It was Fu Mingzheng, he was wearing a civil official's robe, but he was carrying a long knife at his waist, smiling, and only a few people were around him, but he was murderous. Xu Lin was so frightened that he shrank in the sedan chair and didn't dare to squeak, so Chang Sui replied: "No, our Hou Ye is not here." ”
Fu Mingzheng stepped forward, looked at the sedan chair, and said with a smile: "Really?" So who is sitting in this sedan chair? ”
Xu Lin shrunk into a ball, covered in cold sweat, afraid that he would ruthlessly open the sedan curtain and pull himself out, but Fu Mingzheng just said that, and didn't do anything, only sighed: "It's a pity." I also said that I hadn't met his brother for a long time, and I wanted to invite him to a drink. He walked forward slowly, arrogant and hateful.
Xu Lin was afraid that Fu Mingzheng would kill the horse pistol, so he asked his subordinates to change the way and run forward desperately, until his subordinates said that he couldn't see Fu Mingzheng, he dared to show his head, and his body was soaked as if he had just been fished out of the water.
Empress Dowager Xu saw his embarrassed appearance and was very puzzled: "Even if Fu Mingzheng killed Zhang Jian, he wouldn't dare to do anything to you, why are you afraid of being like this?" Doesn't it mean that there are a lot of people who have received money and things from Jane? Even the King of Huayang has accepted it, it's a big deal to quit, what are you afraid of? ”
Xu Lin said softly: "He must know what Zhang Jian said to us." ”
Empress Dowager Xu was silent for a long time, and said: "It's just a matter of whether Your Majesty will go to Weishui to accept surrender, and if they don't go, we won't go." ”
Xu Lin's upper and lower teeth slammed together: "Chen, Chen and Zhang Jian said that as long as they let that person never come back, they will divide and rule with him across the river......"
Empress Dowager Xu's face also turned white: "You...... You ......"
Xu Lin cried: "The minister just feels sorry for Niangniang and His Majesty, do you want to be slaughtered?" Whenever there is a slight opportunity, it must be seized. ”
The Xu family is not a noble family, and there is no foundation, but because the family has a beautiful daughter, she was lucky enough to be elected to the palace, and she got the blue eyes of Emperor Zhengqian, and she was lucky enough to give birth to a prince, so she got a reward and gradually started a family. But later, when the Min family ascended the throne, all the concubines and princesses were imprisoned in the Summer Palace, the Xu family was also unlucky, until Yu Wenguang ascended the throne, and the Empress Dowager Xu became the queen mother, and he rewarded the descendants as usual, and he was named Hou. In terms of power and financial resources, he doesn't have it, and he doesn't have a vision and strategy.
When Empress Dowager Xu heard him say this, she also cried, and said one after another: "Let people go and invite Your Majesty over." ”
Yu Wenguang began to pull out his body, his slender and long body was wrapped in a beige gauze robe, and his small face was even more cold. Seeing my mother and uncle crying together, I was not surprised: "What's wrong, is someone bullying you?" ”
Xu Lin cried: "Exactly! He added fuel and vinegar to Yu Wenguang about Zhang Jian's death and the incident of Lu Yu Mingzheng, and said viciously: "This is in the capital!" At the feet of the Son of Heaven! How dare they kill like this! It's just too much. Your Majesty wants to issue a strict order, and there must be an explanation. Otherwise, it would be us next. ”
Yu Wenguang listened quietly, and then smiled: "Uncle does he think that I and the queen mother are pitiful?" ”
Xu Lin nodded without hesitation: "Yes." ”
"And then?" He stared at Xu Lin, "Although my uncle is scolding the Fu family for being rampant, he is actually very envious of the Fu family, right?" ”
Xu Lin said solemnly: "This world is originally Your Majesty's. He is His Majesty's uncle and deserves to be respected and honored......"
"What my uncle said is not wrong." Yu Wenguang said softly: "It's very tempting, who doesn't want to be glorious and call for wind and rain?" The question is, what to call for wind and rain? We have nothing, we don't know anything, who will listen to us? I've thought about it carefully in the past two days, Yuwenfeng is not sincere, it's a trap. If he is answered, we will have no place to die. ”
Xu Lin cried: "The rebels and thieves ......"
Yu Wenguang stood up: "Okay, that's it." ”
When Xu Lin saw that he was leaving, he hurriedly gave Empress Dowager Xu a look, and Empress Dowager Xu hurriedly grabbed him and begged, "Save your uncle." ”
Yu Wenguang frowned and said, "What's wrong with him?" ”
Empress Dowager Xu was vague, and was yelled at by Yu Wenguang before she told the truth. Yu Wenguang was silent for a long time, and laughed miserably: "Although I am not talented, I have not yet reached this point!" Partition across the strait? Is that person so easy to kill? You can think of it, you can believe it! ”
Xu Lin's face was like earth, and he defended: "Although Your Majesty is young, he is very intelligent, and he has tried his courage in lying on his salary, and in time, who says he can't?" ”
Yu Wenguang ignored him, went back to the Chongzheng Palace, and instructed Jiang Youyuan: "Spread my message, summon the princess regent to enter the palace immediately to meet you." ”
The will was transmitted to the regent palace, and Mingzhu calmly changed her clothes, dressed up and followed the palace envoy into the palace. Since Zhang Jian died, she has been waiting for this moment, so she is not afraid at all.
Yu Wenguang did not see her in the Chongzheng Palace, but saw her in the Changxin Palace. Without the owner's Changxin Palace, it lost its vitality in a blink of an eye, and even the green leaves in the treetops were cold and lonely. Yu Wenguang sat behind the Empress Dowager's favorite bookcase, and smiled and motioned to Mingzhu to get up: "The Sixth Emperor Aunt doesn't need to be so polite, today is about family affairs." ”
Mingzhu still made a big bow meticulously, and then sat down on the brocade stool, and asked Yu Wenguang with a smile: "I don't know what Your Majesty commands?" ”
Yu Wenguang said: "Today I have nothing to do, I walk around, and when I walk here, I suddenly think of the imperial grandmother, so I came in and sat down, saw things and thought about people, and remembered when I was a child." At that time, the Sixth Emperor Aunt had not yet married the Sixth Emperor Uncle, and often took us brothers to play together, do you remember? ”
Mingzhu was also a little stunned when he heard him talk about the past: "Remember." ”
Yu Wenguang said: "The world is impermanent, and in the blink of an eye, all the brothers went underground to see the emperor's father, and I was the only one left." ”
