Chapter 16 The Establishment of the Prince
He kept circling in the room with his hands behind his back for a full quarter of an hour, and then turned back and instructed the henchman in front of the table: "Write another piece of paper, copy those words as they are, and attach them to the back." β
This henchman is none other than Qiu San's little brother when he was in Qingzhou City, the one called Xiaobao. Qiu San found him after returning to Qingzhou with Xue Shengying, and deliberately took him with him to raise him. Although he was nominally a pro-soldier, he did not follow Qiu San into the barracks, but specially invited a teacher to teach him to read. This Xiaobao himself is also angry, he has only been in school for two or three months, although he can't do poetry, he knows a lot of words, and he has helped Qiu San, who doesn't know a single big character.
Xiaobao couldn't help but ask: "Third brother, everything in this secret report is important, and it is really strange to suddenly add such a few nonsense words." β
Hearing this, Qiu San waved his palm and slapped Xiaobao on the back of the head, and scolded: "Little fart children know how to fart." Your article full of important things is probably not as important as these few nonsense words. β
No matter how smart Xiaobao is, he is only more than ten years old, and he doesn't understand this, so he listened to Qiu San's instructions, so he honestly copied those words as they were, and then handed them over to Qiu San. Although Qiu San was illiterate, he still carefully read the letter several times, and then sealed it and handed it over to the secret guard to send it to Feng Junyang, who had arrived in Shengdu.
Yunxi has its own secret way of transmitting the message, and this secret letter arrived in Shengdu in just a few days, turning into a hot potato and reaching Shunping's hand. Regarding the love-hate entanglement between Feng Junyang and Chen Nian, I am afraid that no one knows more than Shunping and can see it more clearly.
Since that day Feng Junyang returned from outside the city, although Feng Jun's demeanor was still as modest and calm as before, Shunping felt that his master had changed a lot, if he could still touch three or four points of this master's mind before, since then, he can't even touch one or two points.
Whether this secret letter is reported or not.
Shunping faced the thin paper, and scolded Qiu San countless times in his heart, so he pretended to unintentionally sandwich the paper between a pile of important secret reports and handed it to Feng Junyang.
Feng Junyang is used to reading these secret reports crookedly, he has an excellent memory, and he has the ability to never forget, so he only swept these secret reports twice, and then returned them to Shunping, and then burned them by Shunping's hands.
Shunping was already very familiar with these things, but this time he was a little apprehensive, he didn't dare to peek at Feng Junyang's expression, so he had to prick up his ears and listen attentively to his movements.
After a while, Feng Junyang sneered softly, picked out a piece of paper and threw it towards Shunping. The piece of paper was infused with his internal force, and he flew flat in front of Shunping before falling down. Shunping hurriedly stretched out his hands to catch them, and then heard Feng Junyang ask with a smile: "How do you do things." Such things should also be clamped inside. If you are worried about that broken village, you might as well go over and be a mountain king. β
Shunping sweated on the tip of his nose, and secretly screamed bitterly, and said in his heart that you asked me to write to Qiu San in the middle of the night to ask about the situation in Qingzhou, isn't it for this little aunt and grandmother. How can this suddenly play this hand again. Although he was slandered in his stomach, he hurriedly knelt down and accused: "It's a small one who didn't see it clearly for a while, and I begged the prince to punish him." β
"Get up, remember next time." Feng Junyang said lightly.
Shunping dared to stand up at this time, and stood there with bated breath waiting for Feng Junyang's orders. After another moment, Feng Junyang finished reading those secret reports, threw them back to Shunping, and asked, "What news is there from the big county lord?" β
Shunping replied: "The lord of the great county said that the emperor has already answered it, and there will be a holy decree for marriage in two days." β
Feng Junyang nodded slowly, and asked again, "Xue Xian'er is still in the palace." β
Since Xue Xian'er arrived in Shengdu, she was summoned into the palace by Concubine Feng and has never come out. Hearing Feng Junyang ask, Shunping responded cautiously: "Yes." β
Feng Junyang closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and said, "Then tell her to stay in the palace first." β
Within two days, sure enough, the emperor issued a holy decree to marry the prince of Yunxi and the daughter of the He family, and at the same time, the prince of Yue and the daughter of the Xue family of Jizhou were also married. This King Yue is one of the few remaining princes with real power in the Xia royal family, his son is young and heroic, and quite famous, and even better is that he is not as old as the weak crown, just wait until Xue Xian'er filial piety period is over to talk about marriage. This marriage is really a good marriage.
As soon as the holy decree was made, He Ze was the first to breathe a sigh of relief. Because of the Qingzhou incident, he was only afraid that Feng Junyang would retaliate. He is not afraid of what Feng Junyang calculates here, and Yun Sheng is easy to say, but Xue Xian'er is the only one who is worried. So along the way, it was day and night defense, and when he arrived in Shengdu, he sent Xue Xian'er to the palace of Feng Guifei. Worried and scared for many days, until he got such news, his heart fell down.
Xue Xian'er was also secretly happy, her father was dead, the two brothers couldn't rely on it, and the mother's side was only a branch of the Yunxi Feng clan, with such a family background, it was rare to marry into the Yue Wangfu and become the princess and concubine.
Because the marriage went smoothly and Concubine Feng treated her kindly, Xue Xian'er's mood was much better. On this day, Yun Sheng came to the palace to see her, and somehow also talked about Fuyuan Temple, and heard that the maid next to him said that the Fuyuan Temple in Cuishan was the most effective for marriage, and the two of them went to ask for instructions from Feng Guifei on a whim, thinking of going to Fuyuan Temple to incense together.
Just in time for the queen to be at the concubine Feng, looking at the two little girls lively and happy, she also remembered when she was young, and without waiting for the concubine to agree, she smiled first: "Go, call more guards and grandmothers to accompany you." But don't disturb the people, all beings are equal in front of the Buddha, don't block the men and women of the people to seek marriage. β
Since the queen said this, Concubine Feng couldn't say anything, so she arranged for Mama to accompany Yun Sheng and Xue Xian'er out of the palace. The incense of Fuyuan Temple is prosperous, and the nobles in the palace often go to Fuyuan Temple to make incense, which is a very common thing, but I don't want to go wrong this time.
There are a lot of pilgrims in Fuyuan Temple, Xue Xian'er and Yunsheng are separated somehow, although Xue Xian'er is anxious, but she has one more heart, and she doesn't break around, but she just stays in the main hall and tells a grandmother around her to look for Yunsheng. Who knew that when the grandmother came back from looking for Yunsheng, she found that Xue Xian'er and her personal maid had disappeared together.
Yun Sheng faintly sensed that something was wrong, his hands and feet couldn't stop trembling a little, and he ordered everyone to secretly find Xue Xian'er and not make a noise, and then sent his henchmen to deliver a letter to He Ze. But as soon as the messenger left, Xue Xian'er was found in a small courtyard on the west side of the temple.
The first to be discovered was Xue Xian'er's personal maid. Coincidentally, it was none other than Xue Xian'er's future mother-in-law, Princess Yue, who discovered this maid. Princess Yue had nothing to do, and several noblewomen from Shengdu came to this Fuyuan Temple to offer incense, and accidentally saw a maid guarding the courtyard gate to poke her head into her head, and when she saw a few people, she quickly shrank back, and ran in without looking back.
Princess Yue saw that the maid was acting sneakily, and hurriedly chased after her, not wanting to block Xue Xian'er and a young man in the room in disheveled clothes. That man was none other than the twelve sons of the He family, He Ze, who had escorted Xue Xian'er all the way from Jizhou to Shengdu.
Princess Yue saw it clearly, snorted coldly and walked away.
Xue Xian'er was stupid, and only sat on the bed in a daze and said nothing. He Ze's mind was still dizzy, and his first reaction was to arrest the maid, but he didn't want to ask the maid a few words, but the maid suddenly died of poison. Yun Sheng got the news and rushed over, and when he saw the situation in the house, he only felt that his legs were weak, and he had already sat down on the ground.
He Ze sneered fiercely, and only said to Yun Sheng, "Look at Xian'er", then turned around and strode out of the house, snatched a horse outside, and whipped straight to Feng Junyang's residence.
Feng Junyang was in the mansion, He Ze broke in all the way, and when he saw him, he shook his fist without saying a word, Feng Junyang calmly stretched out his hand to block He Ze's fist in front of him, and said lightly: "He Twelve, don't do anything with me, you can't beat me." β
The He family is a family in the army, and most of the education received by the children is military education, learning the art of war, fine cavalry and archery, and learning is the kung fu of charging into battle and killing the enemy immediately. But at this moment, He Ze hated it very much, so he just attacked Feng Junyang regardless of it, and after more than a dozen moves, he was pinned by Feng Junyang's neck and pressed to the ground.
Feng Junyang said unhurriedly: "I said, you can't beat me. β
He Ze struggled several times but couldn't break free from Feng Junyang's clamps, so he had to shout angrily: "Feng Junyang, you bastard." You don't have a bit of humanity. You're trying to force Xian'er to death. She's your cousin anyway, and you're going to kill her. As he spoke, he couldn't help but cry, "I let go of your Xie Chennian, I didn't hurt her at all, but you want to force Xian'er to die." β
Even if this happened before the marriage, he could still accept Xue Xian'er as a concubine, although he wronged her, he would protect her life. Now, the emperor has made a holy decree to give marriage, Xue Xian'er is already the fiancΓ©e of the prince of Yue, and if such a thing happens, Xue Xian'er has only one way to die.
He Ze lay on his back on the ground, covering his tears with his hands, Feng Junyang let go of him, took a step back, looked at him coldly with lowered eyes, and said indifferently: "You can still take her as a concubine now, as long as you are willing,"
He Ze lay there in a daze, how could he still go to take Xian'er as a concubine. Today's incident, the He family and the king of Yue have become enemies, and he is now going to Naxian'er, which means that he will go up and slap the emperor and the king of Yue again a loud slap, which means that he will completely offend his wife, which means that he will lose everything he has now, be scolded by others, and betray his relatives.
Seeing him like this, Feng Junyang sneered lightly and asked again, "What." You can't give up everything for her. Then why are you pulling her into our fight? You and me, who caused Xue Xian'er to come here. β
