Chapter 81 The Eighth Emperor invited Jia Zhishen at night, and Wu Xue took advantage of the time to commit murder
Shi En knew that it was difficult to take revenge, but it was still true to complain, and he immediately told the Zhao brothers about begging for money that day, and they had to add oil and vinegar to it, and condemned Jia Dusi to be a slave who committed murder.
Xue Yong was furious when he heard this, and immediately scolded: "It is this dry bird man who occupies a high position and persecutes such a virtuous brother as Shi'en, so that I have no way to serve the country in the past, and I will cut him down!" ”
As he spoke, Xue Yong was about to turn around.
The name of Grace means to give favor to others and teach others to serve death.
Xue Yong's attitude made Shi En satisfied, and he was busy saying that Xue Yong had been appeased, and the Jia Dusi above was in a high position for him, although he hated it deeply, but it was really not easy to provoke.
Although Xue Yong endured it for the time being, his fierce heart couldn't hold back, and he scolded himself: "For the time being, spare that surnamed Jia, don't let him fall into my hands!" ”
……
The next day, on the occasion of the first emperor's birthday, the prince's guard of honor officially set foot in the emperor's mausoleum, worshiped Gaozu and several queens and concubines all the way, and finally stopped in front of the emperor's mausoleum.
The crown prince officiated and ascended to the platform. Accompanied by officials from the Ministry of Rites and several old Hanlins, while recording documents, they pointed out whether there was any exceedance in the worship process of His Royal Highness the Prince.
Jia Lian was stationed in the imperial mausoleum, although he was squeezed out of the imperial city Yulinwei brought by the crown prince today, but he could still see the scene on the high platform.
He saw that the prince had been nagged inside and out by the officials of the Ministry of Rites and a few old Hanlin for a day, and he couldn't help but secretly say: "If I am the prince, I'm afraid I will be irritable to overturn these mouthy old goods...... Fortunately, my family does not have such troubles, every year to the old man above the incense, kowtow a few times, and listen to someone else to read a few eulogies..."
The crown prince took people to a busy day, so that the old scholars who accompanied him were tired several times, and this ceremony of the emperor's birthday, which took nearly a month before and after, finally came to an end.
After the ceremony, the prince led the East Palace up and down to withdraw from the imperial mausoleum, and the mausoleum of the first emperor was once again blocked by the mausoleum guards.
Jia Lian led the last batch of soldiers and horses from the imperial tomb to come out, and he saw that no one was left behind when he counted the troops, so he breathed a sigh of relief and went to report to the assistant leader of the left sentry battalion of his boss.
It was already dusk at the end of the ceremony, and it was even more nightfall after all the men and horses had withdrawn from the imperial tomb. The prince issued an order to tell all the departments to rest for a day and then go again tomorrow.
This order was given as a matter of course, and Jia Lian first sent people to disband the men and horses of the headquarters and told them to return to the camp.
Jia Lian was left by the assistant leader of the left sentry battalion to discuss with the other two commanders, and decided on the division of the Shenji battalion escort on the way back to Beijing.
After everything was settled, Jia Lian yawned and withdrew from the main account.
The brothers of the Zhao family, who were waiting outside, had already led the horse and taught Jia Lian to use it for transportation. When traveling, because the three divisions of the left sentry battalion had to escort the perimeter of the team, they were stationed separately, and the military tent of Jia Lian's division was not close to here.
Jia Lian got on the horse and walked out of the camp gate on the side of the main account - it was said that it was the camp gate, but in fact it was just a few wooden stakes, anyway, the left sentry camp was stationed here for a total of a few days, so there was no need to prepare too much.
It was only half a mile away at night, and some figures appeared in front of Jia Lian.
Jia Lian stopped the horse in time, staring at the front with his eyes fixed.
“… Which one dares to run around outside the imperial tomb? ”
The best place in Kyoto has splashes and dares to kill, not to mention the emperor's mausoleum. Jia Lian quietly lowered his body, and called the Zhao family brothers on the side to be on guard, just in case.
Leaning less, the sound in front of Jia Lian was amplified, and more than a dozen people who rode the stars and the moon came over and stopped in front of him, and one of the people in this group was Wu Yong. His face was a little helpless at this time, but he couldn't see clearly in the night.
Wu Yong came out of the queue, and first patted the horse to greet Jia Lian, but Jia Lian didn't hear what Wu Yong said in the neighing of the horse. In the night, he didn't look down on the person opposite, but the clothes on one of the people opposite made Jia Lian's heart shocked.
Emperor's Only - Bright Yellow!
It's not the prince on the other side, but the prince shouldn't dare to come out in bright yellow clothes!
Wu Yong saw Jia Lian staring at the corner of the clothes opposite, so he had to get closer and whispered: "The opposite is the Eighth Prince, and the body is orange and yellow, but the bright yellow is not bright in the night, and the clothes are a little similar to the bright yellow, and I was shocked when I first saw it." ”
Jia Lian also saw some clues at this time, and when he saw Wu Yong's eyes, he turned over and dismounted, and went over to meet him.
The eighth prince is only fifteen or sixteen years old this year, but he has already practiced a good riding skill, and at this time he sat firmly on the back of the horse and was visited by Jia Lian.
After the ceremony, the eighth prince called Jia Lian to get up, jumped off the horse himself, and asked others to take the reins.
The eighth prince said with a smile: "I took advantage of the night to watch some evening scenes and pay tribute to the two first emperors, but I didn't want to meet Jia Dusi here." ”
"Jadusi, would you like to follow me up a few steps?"
Seeing that the attitude of the eighth prince in front of him was harmonious, Jia Lian nodded, and did not show timidity, just asked the Zhao family brothers to lead the horse behind.
Seeing this, the eighth prince was greatly satisfied, and walked with Jia Lian, chatting with Jia Lian as if it was really a chance encounter.
During these days, the eight princes were out with the crown prince's guard of honor and saw two other unclosed mausoleums - Emperor Taishang and Emperor Yonglong.
There is no need to taboo this, the emperor's death is a major matter, and successive emperors have begun to dig tombs from the moment they ascended the throne, and this dynasty is no exception. At this time, the eighth prince picked something suitable for listening to a foreign minister like Jia Lian, but he would not be speechless.
Jia Lian did the same, saying that a few days ago, the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Hanlin Academy quarreled over the word 'li' when they built a high platform in the emperor's mausoleum.
The Ministry of Rites enjoys the word 'rites', but it is still routine. And the people in the Hanlin Academy are all old scholars who are poor and poor, and coldly threw out some ancient passages to refute the Ministry of Rites, and sprayed saliva on their heads and faces, asking the Ministry of Rites to proceed according to the ancient rites.
This thing is really funny in the eyes of a person like Jia Lian who is not polite.
The eighth prince nodded uncontrollably, his teacher was a Hanlin, the older these masters were, the more tempered they became, and there was nothing they could do about sparing his royal concubines.
Seeing that the conversation was rising, the eighth prince smiled with Jia Lian: "It's really a bit raw for me to call this 'Jia Dusi', according to the queen mother's side, I should call you 'world brother'." ”
The Eight Emperors were born by the Water Queen, and the Water Queen was born in the Beijing Palace, and the Beijing Mansion was friendly with the Jia family, and they were among the four kings and eight princes. Therefore, if you really want to climb some involvement, the Eighth Prince and Jia Lianna can also climb it, and calling the world brother at this time is not out of line.
However, when Jia Lian heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, where is the title of 'world brother' so pleasant, how can others compare with such princes and grandsons as them? He repeatedly pushed the title of 'world brother'.
When the eighth prince saw Jia Lian shirking his intimacy, some displeasure rose in his heart, so he had to take back his words first.
At this time, there were more than a dozen guards accompanying the eighth prince, all of whom were from the palace, and the Zhao brothers had already been squeezed to the end, and it seemed that Jia Lian was in a weak position in the field.
The Eighth Prince came to meet Jia Lian this time, not really to see the night scene, but as he was displeased with the Eighth Prince, he stopped his pace, and the guards around him stopped together, silent.
The Eighth Prince asked: "My third brother has a good reputation, have you ever heard of Jia Dusi in the court and the opposition?" ”
The three princes have served in the household department for many years, but the officials of the various ministries have taken the door of the three princes to ask for money from the household department, and few of them cannot succeed. However, the three princes can meet the source left and right, and the relationship with their colleagues in the household department is also very good, so the government and the opposition are called 'good princes'.
But Jia Lian, as a foreign minister, is not right to evaluate the three princes in front of the eight princes, and if the words are spoken, they will inevitably fall into the hands of others.
Wu Yong was not far from Jia Lian and the Eighth Prince, and he was also intercepted by the Eighth Prince halfway. At this time, hearing the dagger of the Eighth Prince, Wu Yong hurriedly flashed the guard in front of him and shouted loudly:
"It's all live! There are anti-thieves! ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar! Who is the anti-thief?
Wu Yong took the opportunity to come forward and pull Jia Lian, bypassing a few guards and about to run away. The Eighth Prince was so angry that he waved his hand, asked someone to stop the two, and shouted:
"Lord Wu is inevitably too ignorant of the rules, don't you know what I'm talking about!"
Wu Yong turned his head and replied, "Why not!" Xia Guan suddenly thought that one of the people who went out of Beijing on this trip was suspicious, and he was afraid of disturbing the princes, so he had to call the capital of the Shenji Battalion to deal with it! ”
The guards of the Eight Princes on the left and right have already received instructions, and they will take down Wu Yong as soon as they step forward.
But Jia Lian was in front of Wu Yong, at this time, he used his hands and feet at the same time, pulling and pushing, so that many guards planted the onions upside down, and which one could get close within three steps.
Jia Lian believed that he was a senior among the guards of the imperial city, and said to the surroundings: "Don't come to block the way!" The flamboyant show makes people laugh, you wait and go back to the imperial city to practice for a few years. ”
Wu Yong also kicked one over, turned to Jia Lian's ear and whispered: "I must not participate in the royal affairs, these eight princes have a rebellious and incompetent personality, and if there is really a time to win the heir, he will be a dead man!" ”
Jia Lian nodded slightly, summoned the trembling Zhao family brothers, and a few people didn't wait for the Eighth Prince to leave people, and left on the horse.
"How daring!" When the eighth prince saw Jia Lian leave, he spit out two words with hatred, and he didn't know whether he was talking about Wu Yong or Jia Lian, or both.
