Volume 3 Three Watches and Drums: The Past Is Empty Like a Dream Chapter 281 The storm suddenly rose in the middle of the night
Zhao Guangyi frowned, what did the palace do at night. ┏ Basket ↘↘ book√ the purse held by Xiao Tao in his hand was still a few stitches, Xiao Tao's body trembled, and the needles on the purse poked out the blood from his fingers and dripped onto the purse. The purse is based on light powder. The peach powder on the top is a flower, and the blood dripping on it is a hideous bright red, and the little peach is busy wiping it, but it is more messy in the panic. Xiao Tao simply wore two stitches quickly. Wrap up the last few stitches hastily.
Zhao Guangyi didn't notice the movement in Xiao Tao's hand, and ordered outside: "Please." After that, the subordinate had already opened the door of the study, and there were several eunuchs in the palace standing outside the door, led by Wang Jien, who was closest to Zhao Kuangyin. After seeing Zhao Guangyi, he bowed down and saluted: "King Jin, Your Majesty has a decree to pass Tao Niang into the palace." ”
Zhao Guangyi's brows furrowed tightly, but his heart, which had always been calm, suddenly lifted, Zhao Kuangyin let Xiao Tao enter the palace at night? It is reasonable that he should not give a decree to his concubine. What is the reason for this? Zhao Guangyi looked at Wang Jien, he has also put a lot of thought around Zhao Kuangyin in recent years, and Wang Jien is the person he has made friends with with great efforts. Wang Jien shook his head slightly. A heavy face. Zhao Guangyi's heart sank even more.
When Xiao Tao heard this will, she breathed a sigh of relief as if a tight string had finally been loosened. put the purse that he had hastily sewn in his hand on the table, and said to Wang Jien slightly: "Please also ask the nobles to give me a little time to change clothes." ”
"Yes." Wang Jien said and withdrew. Zhao Guangyi saw that Xiao Tao had no unusual expression, his heart sank, and he was about to speak, but Xiao Tao smiled at Zhao Guangyi: "You go out too, I'll change my clothes." Zhao Guangyi had to go out.
Xiao Tao stood in the center of the room, looking at the piles of pen, ink, paper and inkstones around him, which should be enough for Zhao Guangyi to use for a long time. In the cabinet is Zhao Guangyi's robe that she sewed by herself, she can't sew the dress, only sewed the robe of the regular clothes, and the cotton clips are single, ready for all seasons. There is one more for Yin'er. She originally wanted to sew Yin'er's clothes from childhood to adulthood, but she didn't expect that time was waiting for no one, and Zhao Kuangyin's will would arrive so soon. From the time she handed over the forged exit document to Qing Yuwei. Her heart hung in her throat, she was afraid that the documents would be recognized, and she was afraid that Qing Yuwei would not be able to get out; I am also afraid that the document will fall to the court of the Song people. Once discovered, forging documents is a crime of beheading, and she knows it very well. Now, Zhao Kuangyin let her enter the palace, if she found a forged document, she wouldn't be able to live; If she is found to be alive, it is estimated that she will be unlucky.
Xiao Tao sat down in front of the makeup mirror table and pulled her hair back. I don't know when a few white hairs came out of the sideburns, Xiao Tao pulled out two of them, thought about it, cut a strand of hair with scissors, stuffed it into the purse that had just been sewn, tied the purse again, and put it on the makeup mirror table.
Xiao Tao got up and changed into a pink skirt, the peach mark on her neck had receded, Qi Zhengxiu's special rouge cream for Xiao Tao had been used up, Xiao Tao didn't know when this face would fade away, revealing the black ugliness below. Perhaps, when the whitewashed peace is torn apart, everything will be repeated as before, and she will fall into a situation from which she will never recover. Thinking of this, Xiao Tao's whole body is a cold war. I couldn't help but take out another silver cloak and drape it on my body.
After dressing up, Xiao Tao pushed the door and went out, smiling at Zhao Guangyi: "I'm going." Then he walked forward.
Zhao Guangyi took Xiao Tao's hand and said in a fixed voice: "I'll be with you." ”
Wang Jien was a little embarrassed: "This, Your Majesty said that only Xuan Tao Niang will be visited." ”
Zhao Guangyi sneered and hooked his lips: "If there is any blame from the imperial brother, I will bear it alone." You can rest assured. ”
Wang Jien thought about it, so he had to take Zhao Guangyi and Xiao Tao into the palace together.
The night has just begun. At this time in the palace, it is also the time when the sheng song is graceful, Zhao Kuangyin is also happy, and a small banquet will be arranged at night, and the concubines in the palace will get drunk and happy. Tonight, everything was quiet, Zhao Guangyi sat in the Chengming Palace, with a huge incense burner in front of him, spitting smoke, surrounded by the cold Chengming Palace, becoming more and more lonely. Zhao Kuangyin's brows furrowed, this prostitute is really a wildfire, and she can't be killed no matter how she gets it. I knew she was a scourge for a long time, but she still got to this day.
was in a trance, and the eunuch at the door announced: "Your Majesty, King Jin and Tao Niang have arrived." ”
"King Jin?" Zhao Kuangyin frowned and waved his hand impatiently: "That's it, let them all come in." "Remember the island.
After a while, Zhao Guangyi, who was dressed in a purple robe, and Xiao Tao, who was dressed in red and white cloak, walked in. knelt down to Zhao Kuangyin, looking at the petite but delicate woman kneeling below, Zhao Kuangyin's right eye suddenly jumped twice, and a yin smile appeared on his lips.
Zhao Kuangyin didn't let them get up, just looked at Xiao Tao coldly, and snorted: "Tao Niang? Ye Xiaotao? With that, he slammed the paper in his hand into Xiao Tao's face, and shouted, "Is this a good thing you did?" ”
Xiao Tao picked up the piece of paper, and her head was banged, sure enough, it was a document she forged, how could it fall into Zhao Kuangyin's hands, what about Su Mo? Is it out of customs? Xiao Tao hung down her hand in distraction, and her whole body was paralyzed.
Zhao Guangyi picked up the paper in Xiao Tao's hand and only glanced at it, his brows were already frowning, and his face became pale. My heart was beating fast, and sure enough! But how can this be? A wave of bitterness suddenly surged up in his chest, and Zhao Guangyi only felt sullen and painful.
Zhao Kuangyin stretched out his hand and pointed at Xiao Tao and shouted, "Say, did you do it?" Did you go to great lengths to get close to Guangyi, just to ventilate your lord, ask for aid from the enemy, and destroy my Great Song Dynasty? Isn't it?! ”
"Yes." Xiao Tao looked at Zhao Kuangyin and replied lightly.
Zhao Guangyi's heart seemed to have collapsed, and his mind was blank. The fists clenched tightly with both hands jumped violently, no, no. Zhao Guangyi looked at Xiao Tao, his eyes cracked into pieces, and he roared: "Don't talk nonsense!" ”
Zhao Kuangyin slapped the table suddenly: "Guangyi, don't talk nonsense about you!" I told you a long time ago that the Tang people are cunning, but you didn't listen to it and plunged into it. How about now? The customs paperwork is written in black and white, stamped with your seal. As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows and sneered, "Don't tell me that you wrote the customs clearance document sent to the Khitan." ”
Xiao Tao bit her lip and said in a deep voice: "I wrote it, and I stole the seal of King Jin to stamp it." It has nothing to do with King Jin, and he doesn't know it at all. Your Majesty wants to kill and punish, just come at me. ”
"Good!" Zhao Kuangyin shouted loudly, "What I am waiting for is your words." Since you have recognized that you wrote this document, then I will tell you that those who carry it do not know that there is a distinction between going and returning. I even took this document and wanted to come back. was discovered by the border soldiers to be abnormal, and a letter of state asking for help from the Khitan was found from them. It seems that the Khitan did not pay attention to your lord's request, and even bombarded back with a letter of state. After speaking, he laughed loudly a few times, leaned over and said to Xiao Tao Yinyin, "I will teach you now, the customs clearance documents that come back are stamped at the front, and if you come back from Wu Yue, you don't need to come back with the documents." ”
Xiao Tao hooked her lips lightly, it doesn't matter how she comes back. If she can send the letter asking for help, her task will be completed. As for how to get back, she couldn't think about it so thoroughly, and time didn't allow her to think about it. And Khitan's refusal to aid Datang is what makes her heart ache, she works so hard, but it is still useless. Xiao Tao smiled sadly: "Let Your Majesty dispose of it." ”
Zhao Kuangyin's hand waved: "Come on, drag it out, cut it"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhao Guangyi with a low roar: "Brother Huang! Zhao Guangyi stood up, walked in front of Zhao Kuangyin, and said with a pale face, "Brother Huang, she is the person of the younger brother, and I beg the imperial brother to hand it over to the younger brother to go back and deal with it." ”
Zhao Kuangyin sneered: "Guangyi, it's not for my brother not to be emotional. Any crime can be ignored as a brother, and your person will naturally be handed over to you. But this is a major crime of forging documents to collaborate with the enemy and betraying the country, and it is the death of Ling Chi plus the nine clans of Zhulian. Now I can give her a good time, it's already for your sake. You are the king of the Jin Dynasty, you don't know that if this crime can be turned around, there will be no crime in the world that can be punished. ”
Zhao Guangyi crushed the forged documents of Xiao Tao in his hand, stared at Zhao Kuangyin, and his voice was equally gloomy: "Brother Huang, my brother begs you again." The documents were destroyed, and the Khitan did not give Li Tang any aid, and nothing caused any unforgivable consequences. What the royal brother wants, the courtiers can give it. ”
"Oh?" Zhao Kuangyin asked without saying anything, "What do you want from me?" ”
Zhao Guangyi bowed to Zhao Kuangyin: "Everything that the younger brother has, the title, the official position, the name of the King of Jin, the position of the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, and the alliance of Jinkui, the younger brother can not want it." ”
Zhao Kuangyin's heart moved fiercely, the alliance of Jinkui was something he wanted to get rid of in his dreams, and the good things that Empress Dowager Du did before her death became his nightmare for so many years. It's just that Zhao Pu was in the court at the beginning, and he needed Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Pu to check and balance. Before Zhao Pu was dismissed, he had been thinking about how to take the next step to succeed his son Dezhao, but he didn't expect Zhao Guangyi to say such a thing at this moment. It's just that he doesn't want the Golden Alliance, is it credible? And the immediate priority is not to talk about the Golden Alliance.
Seeing Zhao Kuangyin hesitating, Zhao Guangyi bowed again: "The younger brother begs the imperial brother to go around the Ye family, early tomorrow morning, the younger brother will definitely present his resignation and never enter the court again." ”
Zhao Kuangyin didn't speak, and said after a while: "This has nothing to do with the Golden Kui Alliance, and it doesn't mean that to be a brother." It happened suddenly, and I was also in a hurry. In this way," Zhao Kuangyin said slowly, "It's not too early, let's talk about it early tomorrow morning, and we will live in the palace tonight." ”
