Chapter Seventy-Seven: Who is the Chess Player?
Tan Guan sat down on the main seat by mistake and sighed anxiously.
Gu Mingchao comforted: "Don't be impatient, whenever you encounter a major event, you must have a name, and it must be a good day and an auspicious day, so as to conform to the time of the day." β
Wu Changan also echoed: "That's right, Guogong, Han Gaozu beheaded the white snake, Tang Feng Sui was tyrannical, all of them are justifiable, why should Guogong be in a hurry." β
Xi Zhuo shook his head and said: "Guogong, this kind of thing must be auspicious from the sky before it can be acted." Otherwise, it will incur the curse of heaven, like Qin II and Sui II. Please think twice. β
Mo Ye said: "Guogong, the lower officials heard that there is often Buddha light on the banks of the Taqiu River, it is better for the Guogong to personally send a household official to the Taqiu River to find the Buddha's light, and teach the people on the riverside to say that the country is great." In this way, it will be a matter of course. β
Tan Guan said mistakenly: "This comes and goes, and it will be gone in half a month." β
Gu Mingchao said: "Dare to ask Guogong, after a hundred years, who can continue the great cause?" β
Tan Guan was displeased: "I'm still here, why are you cursing me!" β
Gu Mingchao said: "If in the future, the Duke of the Kingdom follows Yao's example and hands over the great cause to others, then we will immediately raise troops......
Tan Guanwei lowered his head silently, and said after a while: "Lonely, naturally ......"
Gu Mingchao sneered in his heart, just this brain, he also wanted to rebel.
After a while, Tan Guan sighed and said, "The fifteenth dynasty will meet and raise troops." β
For a moment, the hall was silent, and only the sound of hissing could be heard.
Tan Guanxuan sneered: "If it is late, it will change, but it will not be broken." Qin and Sui all died in tyranny and unreasonableness, and I will definitely treat the people lightly and kindly. "In the end, he was much calmer.
Everyone was about to be persuaded, but Tan Guan mistakenly said: "You and other literati, at the court meeting, you must persuade each other with good words, so that Emperor Chengde is willing to take the Zen position, if he is ...... Hmph, then hide behind the pillar and save your life. β
Everyone was dumbfounded, Gu Mingchao thought of an excellent reason to persuade him, but Tan Guan stared at him by mistake and said: "Ming Dynasty, it's not that I don't trust you, but it's a big deal......
Gu Mingchao thought that Tan Guan mistakenly asked him to stay, and was about to answer, but Tan Guanxuan continued: "I will surround the Yongzhao Marquis Mansion with you five hundred soldiers, and bring twenty with me, I think, Xie Hou Ye and you must be able to understand." β
Hearing this, Gu Mingchao's face changed slightly, and he stiffened his neck and said, "Naturally." β
The 500 soldiers that Tan Guan mistakenly gave turned into ordinary traders, and surrounded the Marquis of Yongzhao.
Gu Mingchao had a cold face, and took a bunch of people around him into the Hou Mansion, feeling that Tan Guan's brain was only half grown, and four hundred and fifty soldiers were surrounded outside, and these fifty people were not dressed in disguise, so they went directly into the Hou Mansion.
As soon as he walked to the center of the front yard, Gu Mingchao turned around and said coldly: "Kill." β
The soft sword on his waist was unsheathed, and he quickly cut the throat of the soldier, and the blood spilled on the bamboo leaves, Gu Mingchao secretly scolded: "Damn, I have to accompany the bamboo again." β
His subordinates were ruthless, and in an instant, he cut the throats of three or five soldiers, looking at the corpses that were still twitching all over the yard, Gu Ming said, "Clean up and pull out that bamboo...... No, just cut the blood-stained branch. β
When he turned around, he saw Xie Songzhao standing under the porch with a smile, and said softly: "What about the outside?" What to do? β
Gu Mingchao said without thinking: "I will solve them at night." β
Xie Songzhao said: "Then what should I do if Tan Guan's mistake is wrong?" β
Gu Mingchao purified his hands and said: "Xie Huizhi, what kind of innocent immortal are you pretending, when I first saw you, you were not a good person, under the scorching sun, let me stand for two hours." β
Xie Songzhao smiled softly, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Good Ming Dynasty, don't worry, if you don't feel comfortable, can I stand for two hours in this snowy day?" β
Gu Mingchao glanced at him and said, "Now? If this had been a year ago, I would have gladly agreed. But now...... With your current body, let alone two hours, you can't stand it for two quarters of an hour. β
Xie Song took a look at the big and said, "I just have some sick roots, and I will raise them in the future, so I will be fine." β
Gu Mingchao nodded and said, "Well, let's go, let's go back, it's windy outside." β
Xie Songzhao said: "I asked the prince for his life, and I want to go to Jingxiang Nine Counties to check on the fake King of Chu." β
Gu Mingchao said: "Jingxiang Nine Counties? β
Xie Songzhao bowed his head and said: "Exactly, the message originally came out from here." It is also the last place where the king of Chu died. β
Gu Mingchao said: "Don't you want me to go with you?" β
Xie Songzhao said: "You can't let go of your hand, where can you be with me." β
Gu Mingchao pushed open the door, turned sideways to let Xie Songzhao go first, and said in a low voice: "After I solve this matter, that Yin Beichen will never let me stay again, I will let Emperor Chengde make a will, I will go with you, are you in a hurry?" β
Xie Songzhao said: "Don't worry, why don't you leave until the fifteenth day of next month." β
Gu Mingchao said: "That's it, who are you in the West Chamber tonight, I'll go and solve it outside." β
Zhengyang Palace.
"Mother, why do you have to do such a dangerous move?" Qin Yu held the pen and couldn't bear it.
The queen held her head and said: "The palace is lacking, and after all these years of single-handed control, I finally pressed Emperor Chengde to the dust, and the prince is about to become a ...... However, the elder brother is gone...... It's all gone, Xie Jiazi, there are a few left...... This palace wants to take advantage of the fact that the spirit is still acceptable, and put the last thing... It's over. β
Qin Yu's head was buried low, and the queen said: "Why is it the same as when I was a child, my eyes are red at every turn, and I want to cry my nose, and now we are in the palace...... Ah Yu, take it and write ......"
Qin Yu choked up and said, "Yes, Niangniang." β
Xuanping Bo Mansion.
"Queen Chunhua said that she would take advantage of this Shangyuan Festival to summon officials above the fifth grade to bring their wives into the palace for a reunion." Jun Ping lazily leaned on the side of the chaise longue and played with the jade bracelet in his hand.
Shen Wutao sat down with low eyebrows, and said softly when he heard the words: "The concubine is waiting for the uncle and lady to come back in the mansion." β
Jun Ping said: "My body can't bear the bumps, you follow the uncle into the palace, the uncle asks the prince to say goodbye, and you go to accompany the queen." β
Shen Wumoss said: "How dare the concubine occupy the magpie's nest and steal the position of the lady." β
Jun Ping said: "Uncle will take you along, and Dingdong Marquis will also take your concubine Zou to see the queen's mother, what do you matter, your brother is now the governor of the nine counties, where can your identity fall behind." This time, I just showed my face. β
Shen Wutao said: "Madame has promoted the concubine, and the concubine brother is just pretending to be the governor, how dare he correct his name." The status of the concubine is low, and she cannot speak the same day as the ladies. β
It is rare for Junping to see such a sober woman, and she doesn't seem to be ashamed of her status as a concubine. praised her, but she didn't accept it, and she didn't take the bait, so she was really a little pampered and not surprised.
Jun Ping said: "There must be someone in this house who goes to ask the queen for peace, I am not in good health, I can't go, what about you?" Speaking of this, what do others say about our Xuanping Bofu? β
Shen Wutao said: "Madame can send Miss Mingjing into the palace to ask the queen for peace on behalf of Xuanping Bofu." β
Jun Ping said slightly angrily: "There is a noble concubine who does not enter the palace to ask for peace, but goes to the personal maid, what do others say about me, Mrs. Xuanpingbo?" Don't say that I treat concubines harshly? β
Shen Wutao said: "Madame is too worried, although the concubine brother is pretending to be the governor, the concubine will never be oppressed by the madame." β
Jun Ping looked at this Shen Wumos, who hid needles in the cotton and didn't eat hard and soft, and suddenly remembered that on the day she just entered the mansion, the six gods had no owner, and suddenly blessed her soul, and her weakness was the death of her mother.
Just as he was about to speak, Shen Wutao got up weakly and said, "Madam, the concubine retires." β
Jun Ping said: "Don't you want to clear your mother's name?" β
Shen Wutao said: "The concubine's mother, Mrs. Shen, treats the concubine very well, never withholds the concubine's food, clothing, housing and transportation needs, and treats others kindly, how can she be charged?" β
Jun Ping raised his eyes to look at her and said, "Go down." β
Shen Wutao slowly paced back to the Dust Pavilion and said in a low voice: "Madam, this is a good opportunity to get to know your lady, why did you refuse?" β
Shen Wutao said: "Although I am weak, but I am not stupid, these are all officials above the fifth grade, and they are all destined women, and they have a fate, I am just a concubine, where can I go to the queen to ask for peace." β
The guest was puzzled: "Dingdong Marquis's concubine Zou, isn't she also a concubine?" β
Shen Wutao said: "The Zou family is noble, although she is a concubine, but she is also deliberately decorated with a noble in front of her, which is her identity." She...... It's not like I can compare. β
Said politely: "Madam, are you really not going?" β
Shen Wutao shook his head and said, "I want to go, but it can't be now, she thinks she has caught my weakness, so let her take it seriously." β
Keqing sneered: "The maid looked at her, but she was very naΓ―ve. β
Shen Wutao said: "Go, say everywhere outside, the lady of Xuanping Bofu, who is weak, I am afraid that she will lose her honor in front of the phoenix." I don't say it's the lady, I just say it's the lady. Got it? β
After a careful consideration, I understood her intentions.
Shen Wutao stood in the courtyard, looking at the world outside and couldn't take his eyes off.
In the eleventh year of Chengde, the fifteenth day of the first month, Chonghua Palace.
The emperor and queen met again after a few months, and they were alienated from each other. Emperor Chengde's concubines are all here, and none of the concubines on the prince's side are missing.
Xu Zhaoyi looked at the courtiers below who were pregnant with ghosts, and the women with worries on their faces, and sneered in their hearts.
Emperor Chengde's eyes turned around, looking at Xie Songzhao at the table, and couldn't help muttering, obviously Ding Wei should be at home, why did he appear at the banquet, wouldn't it make people suspicious.
Coincidentally, Tan Guancao also thought so, a few days ago, when he received the news of the fifteenth palace banquet, he immediately changed the time of the army.
Everyone's eyes brushed over, and they were all trembling, for fear that they would accidentally let the other party see their true intentions.
The queen sat on the throne, but her spirit was not as good as before, Qi Shuying received the prince's fatwa and went to sit on the pestle beside the queen, and said a few words to her from time to time to ease her scattered thoughts.
The queen pursed her lips and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, today is reunited, and they are all happy." This palace is not happy, and it can't sweep away your interest. β
Everyone thanked them for their kindness, and said that they wanted their mother to have a good life.
Xiao Se bit the edge of the golden cup, and his teeth chattered. Knowing that the change is tonight, it is difficult for her to sit still, these days are like walking on thin ice, pleasing both ends, and today she will see the winner or loser......
Wen Nanqi sat beside Shen Wumo, she lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, she still looked docile on the surface, but she was quickly thinking in her heart, why Junping couldn't persist.
What is there in this palace banquet that she can't avoid.
Before she could figure it out, she saw an official, trembling and kneeling, with words in his mouth, His Majesty forgives the sins, the mother forgives the sins, and crawled forward again, and kowtowed to the prince in front of the Danqi and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Your Highness!" Wechen is forced! β
The prince said: "Is it Tan Guogong who wants to rebel?" β
The hall, which was originally still dancing and singing, was silent in an instant.
