Chapter 111: Prepare for the horse and return to Beijing!
The soldiers in front of the door seemed to see monsters, lost their weapons, and ran to the governor's palace with a rolling belt...
Xu Boqing stood quietly in front of the Governor's Palace...
The excited old faces of Jiang Jin and Kong Qing behind them were a little red, and they felt more and more that being a dog for the Overseer was simply the wisest decision they had ever made in their lives!
A little effort...
But I saw a commotion in the governor's mansion, and one by one the martial arts with a good breath came out with weapons in hand, including lieutenant colonels and lieutenants, and domestic servants and staff...
There were dozens of people in a circle...
Then, Zhou Xuancai walked out of the mansion with a pale face, looked at the broken gate of the Governor's Palace, and looked at the three Xichang fans in front of the door, only to feel that his face was hot.
"Xu Boqing, you are so bold!!"
"Xu has always been very bold, but you, the governor of Zhou, as a feudal official, are too bold."
"You !!"
"Heh......"
Xu Boqing looked at the martial arts masters around him, and said with a sneer: "Could it be that Governor Zhou thinks that these crooked melons and cracked dates can protect you?" ”
"You ......"
"Then you might be thinking wrong......"
After Xu Boqing finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and grabbed it in the air, and the martial arts masters around him all stiffened, and before they could even react, the weapons in their hands flew out of their hands...
Dozens of swords, guns, swords, halberds with their own distinctive characteristics seemed to be grasped by an invisible big hand, constantly twisting in mid-air, and in an instant, they were crumpled into a large ball of scrap metal!
The scrap metal fell to the ground with an unpleasant crisp sound, and the surrounding martial arts masters also woke up...
They looked at their hands in a daze, and then at the mass of scrap metal, their expressions full of confusion...
Zhou Xuan was the same, but before he could react, he found that his body seemed to be disobedient, and he staggered and rolled down the steps in front of the door.
When I raised my head, I realized that I didn't know when, I had rolled to the feet of the Xichang fanzi...
Looking at that lofty and prostrated look, he seemed to have walked around before the ghost gate, and a layer of fine cold sweat instantly overflowed on his back...
"......"
"Why didn't Governor Zhou accidentally fall?"
Xu Boqing sat in front of him half-squatting, pointed to Kong Qing on his side and said, "I heard that the subordinates of this governor came to Governor Zhou a few days ago to investigate something, but they were kicked out?" ”
"Never!"
Zhou Xuan's Adam's apple scrolls up and down...
He also wanted to pretend to be tough, but he also knew that the person in front of him was a eunuch who was difficult to figure out, and now he was in his hands again, in case he had a ruthless hand that didn't go well, wouldn't he lose his life in vain?
So he explained: "I was out that day, and I was not in the house, so the people below had no eyes and inadvertently offended the governor, and I hope the governor will forgive me..."
"That's good... That's good..."
Xu Boqing stood up with a smile when he heard this, pulled Zhou Xuan up, and intimately helped him dust off his body, and said: "Xu has always been kind to people..."
His voice paused, and he smiled meaningfully: "I came here rashly today, I just want to ask Governor Zhou about something, if there is any offense, I also hope that Governor Haihan..."
“……”
The cheeks on Zhou Xuan's cheeks shook.
He also knows that the current situation is not as good as others, and there is no need to be quick to be stubborn.
Therefore, he nodded, and said sneeringly: "The overseer, please ask, the subordinate must know everything, and he will say everything." ”
"Where did Deng Jian go?"
Xu Boqing saw that his face was a little weird, so he reminded with a smile: "Governor Zhou should know which Deng Jian I am asking, you can think about it before answering." ”
His voice paused, and he said: "Otherwise, Xu is afraid that he will not be able to control this hand, and if he shudders, he will use the right to cut first and then play the West Factory given by His Majesty." ”
“……”
A burst of blue and white flashed on Zhou Xuan's face, and then he sighed and said vaguely: "Lord Xu, there are some things that I just want to add some chips to future generations." ”
“……”
Xu Boqing was slightly stunned, then his eyes moved slightly, and he also understood the meaning of his words, helped him dust off his body, and said with a smile: "I see, then Xu will stay for a short time, and say goodbye..."
With that, he waved his hand and turned to leave...
And Jiang Jin and Kong Qing were still a little dazed, and when they saw that their overseer only asked a word and left, they hurriedly followed.
"Overseer, let's just go?"
"The question has already been asked, and those who want to know know also know, if you don't leave, will you stay there and wait for others to invite us to dinner?"
“……”
Kong Qing was still puzzled, and seeing that Jiang Jin around him seemed to understand something, he hurriedly leaned over and asked, "Lao Jiang, do you understand too?" ”
"Hmm..."
"Tell me..."
Jiang Jin glanced at him, and when he saw that the overseer didn't say anything, he reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty has three princes today, and the eldest prince was born to the queen's mother...
The second prince was born to Qiu Guifei;
The third prince was born to Zhou Guifei, and the Zhou Xuan just now was the father of Zhou Guifei and the grandfather of the third prince..."
"Hiss......"
Kong Qing sighed from between his teeth, hearing that it was the grandfather of the third prince, how could he not know the meaning of what Zhou Xuan said before, 'add some chips to the juniors'...
Xu Boqing returned to the zero-hour stronghold of the West Factory with a gloomy expression, although Zhou Xuan did not say it explicitly just now, but he had actually informed Deng Jian's whereabouts in his words...
He is the chief manager of Cining Palace, and naturally he also knows the three princes in the palace, the youngest of which is from Zhou Guifei, combined with Zhou Xuan's sentence 'add some chips to the juniors', it is easy to guess something...
He tapped his fingers on the armrest of the seat, pondered for a while and asked, "Zhu Hong was lifted and did not resume his status as a prince?" ”
“……”
Jiang Jin was slightly stunned, and after reacting, he shook his head and said, "Although Your Majesty has lifted the ban on the East Palace of the Great Prince, he has not re-established the position of the crown prince..."
"Now the crown prince's position is vacant..."
Xu Boqing's eyes were slightly condensed, and he smiled thoughtfully: "Inform me of the news you found when you go back to the palace, especially the things in the palace, try to be as detailed as possible..."
"Yes......"
Jiang Jin pondered for a while, and recounted the information collected by the West Factory before and after returning to the palace.
"There are many strange things in the capital, the two princes compete for favor, and Zhang Song doesn't even want to see his daughter Queen Zhang in order to avoid suspicion..."
Xu Boqing muttered thoughtfully: "Then Deng Jian was protected by the third prince as a shadow?" Who is the Xie Honghua of the Chongxu faction being protected by? Second prince? ”
Let's talk about it...
He seemed to have thought of something, and muttered with a faint look in his eyes: "The people named by Mr. Huang, these two little guys want to snatch people from his old man and from me?" ”
Jiang Jin's lips were dry as he listened to the sidelines, and a layer of fine cold sweat broke out on his forehead......
He seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly took the clothes brought by Empress Dowager Chen and the letter that Empress Zhang wanted to forward.
"Governor... Governor, this is the clothes that the Queen Mother asked the lowly to bring with you, and this is the letter that the Queen Mother must hand over to you..."
"Hmm..."
Xu Boqing came back to his senses and took the clothes and letters.
The clothes and the moon-white gown on the body are the same style, from the hands of the Empress Dowager Chen, representing a piece of heart;
And after tearing the envelope and looking at the letter from Empress Zhang, his expression gradually became weird...
I thought it was just an ordinary thank you letter.
At first, what was written in the letter was indeed Empress Zhang's words of gratitude.
But somehow...
As he wrote, the style and language of the letter suddenly changed, and the words were full of 'resentment' and 'helplessness'...
In the letter, Empress Zhang wrote from the perspective of a mother that although the crown prince Zhu Hong was lifted from the ban, he was like a plague god, and the people in the palace avoided him...
also wrote about the cold feeling that Queen Zhang was afraid of being avoided by her biological father when she went back to her parents' house for help, and she was lonely and widowed after returning to the palace, helpless...
There are still a few dry tears on the letter, and it can be seen that when writing this experience, Empress Zhang must have been unable to hide her grief.
Towards the end, it can be clearly seen that the handwriting has changed slightly, and the self-proclaimed in the book has also changed from a concubine to a mourning family, obviously a descendant of Mrs. Chen...
Empress Dowager Chen's pen is gentle, and she uses the small things of life such as cold weather to add clothes to vaguely express the sorrow of lovesickness for months...
Subsequently, it was also indicated...
wants to make decisions for Queen Zhang's orphans and widows, and it is even revealed in his words that if Zhu Hong can get the support of Xichang to regain the position of prince, he will be rewarded in the future......
'It's nice to have someone in the house thinking about it...'
After Xu Boqing read the letter, for some reason, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and after a long breath, he rubbed his fingers, and the letter in his hand also burned...
In the light of the fire, his smile was very bright...
"Prepare the carriage and return to Beijing!!"
