Chapter 226: Breaking the Array
Alas, I was a little unhappy, and I didn't ask what was behind the Heavenly Remnant Gate, but the information I had now was enough.
The composition of this world is somewhat similar to that of the Ming Dynasty, the predecessor of Shen Yu, named Shen Yu, the character Zicai, this name, made Shen Yu a lot less troublesome.
Shen Yu's family has three generations, all of them run pharmacies, and when Shen Yu's generation arrived, he was smart and studious, so the Shen family paid for him to train him and let him study and study.
In the middle of this, the Shen family encountered an ordeal, and some officials were greedy for the money accumulated by the Shen family's pharmacy, so they falsely accused Shen Yu's parents and put them in prison.
It was originally a catastrophe that broke the family and destroyed the family, but the Shen family, who was lucky, ran into the prince who inspected Jiangnan on behalf of the Son of Heaven.
The prince is a generous and sensitive person who has rehabilitated the unjust case of the Shen family, and his only shortcoming may be that he has read too many history books and has been brainwashed by Confucian teachers, so that he is really benevolent and filial, and aspires to be a saint.
The Shen family's pharmacy was returned, and the old couple was able to get out, although they died soon after because of old injuries, but before he died, he told Shen Yu to remember the prince's kindness.
Shen Yu was also very competitive, he was admitted to Xiucai, and he became a lifter again, and entered the Hanlin Academy, but unfortunately at this time, the prince had a decline, and soon after, the prince had a dispute with Yang Guifei, and as a result, a large number of people under his command were given to death, and the position of the palace was a lot empty.
No one in the Hanlin Courtyard was willing to go, only Shen Yu took the initiative to ask Ying.
On the third day after he asked for help, the crown prince was deposed, and then left the capital, and he, as a fool who stood in the wrong line, was hated by the Yang family, and he must let everyone know his fate, so the process of applying to go to the prince's mansion was still going, and he did not beg for mercy or trust, so fifteen days ago, he was appointed as the staff of the king of Huainan (the current title of the abolished prince does not mean that he wants to go to the fiefdom), and let him take office.
He left the capital and came here to report to the prince, but he saw a drunken wasteman - the Son of Heaven had already made up his mind to get rid of the prince in order to prevent future troubles.
No matter how talented a person is, your lord has collapsed, what can you do?
He was a young man after all, so in despair, he wrote a suicide note, and then committed suicide by taking poison.
"Alas...... What a good guy. ”
Shen Yu sighed, and then, bowed in the direction of the ashes again, and burned his suicide note at the same time.
He sighed, this beginning is also, how good it would be if he was given the identity of a prince, although it was only five years, he could only use two or three years to make a counterattack on the throne and enjoy what it was like to have the dragon qi of the Great Wei Dynasty.
If the dragon energy of this world can be accumulated.
There was a knock on the door, and Shen Yu stood up.
It was an infinitely beautiful figure, dignified and noble woman, holding a high bun, a pale yellow robe draped over her body, like a rich and elegant peony flower, and her eyes were full of majesty.
"Mr. Shen, I'm really sorry for bothering you."
Crown Princess Xue Yuhua was relieved to find that Shen Yu was fine, and sighed again, and the maid put a rattan box in front of Shen Yu.
"You have great talents, but the officials can't use it, here is a letter, it is a handwritten letter to remove you from giving up your official position, you can return to the imperial capital with this thing, everyone will be grateful for your high righteousness, and you can make a comeback."
"Thank you, Crown Princess."
Shen Yu bowed deeply.
After the crown prince was deposed, the whole person was extremely decadent, especially ten days ago, after learning the news that the Son of Heaven ordered him to be killed, the whole person collapsed.
The abolished prince is not a direct cup of poisonous wine, otherwise it is the change of Xuanwu Gate or the change of failed Xuanwu Gate.
The normal process is to remove the wings first, and then demote to the king of the county, of course, without any power, and at the same time to purge the prince's henchmen on a large scale again, and when the clearance is almost done, it will be degraded again for other crimes, resentment or disrespect, and finally, naturally, white silk or poisonous wine.
It's like killing Nian Qianyao.
Some have collapsed, some are still holding on, or performing their duties, such as the crown princess in front of them.
The superior enjoys the glory, wealth, power, money, and efforts of those below, but also to protect their safety, or rather, to give these people a way out when the edifice falls.
This is also the reason why some people in history committed suicide after surrendering.
"Mr. Shen, I'm sorry to have bothered you, the future is long, may you cherish it, remember it."
This talented woman, who was famous in Beijing back then, bowed her head to Shen Yu again, and only after asking her to do so did she turn around and leave.
"Princess Xie."
Shen Yu nodded and bowed politely.
Two months ago, Yang Guifei became Empress Yang, and a minister pointed out the seven deadly sins of the prince under the instructions of Empress Yang, and the Son of Heaven did not leave this matter behind, and wanted to leave the prince alive, but everyone knows that Empress Yang is finally going to attack the prince, and it is just recently.
Fifteen days ago, the messenger of the Son of Heaven had set out and came over with a secret decree from the imperial court, and the content of the secret decree had already flown all over the sky, and even someone close to the prince came to confirm that it was an edict ordering the prince to commit suicide and his wife and concubine to be buried together.
Shen Yu sighed, at this time, although he had some means, he might be able to help, but the prince had collapsed, and he couldn't do anything, or rather, what virtue did the prince have to let him help?
When the rattan box was opened, in addition to a letter and a silver ticket, there were two golden unicorns.
The golden unicorn should be the princess's private money, this kind of severance money was nothing in the past, but now, it is really valuable.
The crown princess left, but Shen Yu did not immediately push open the door and leave, but continued to stay in his room.
In any case, he has to stay here and wait for the prince to die before leaving, so that his reputation will be much better, not the so-called fleeing from the master, as for the danger of staying here...... Don't worry for the time being, the envoy of the imperial capital came here with great fanfare, instead of the secret envoy not saying anything and suddenly attacking, which shows that the imperial capital does not want to make things too ugly and force the prince to commit suicide, but hopes that the prince will commit suicide in advance.
After all, the Son of Heaven has a good face, and the envoy will definitely carry two different wills.
One is that after the envoy came, the prince was still alive, and at this time, the envoy had to tear his face, or poison wine or hang himself, and kill the prince, of course, he would also kill the prince's concubines and concubines, even the children.
The other is that the prince committed suicide before the envoy came, then, this will is that the Son of Heaven announced that he forgave the prince's mistakes, let the prince return to the imperial capital, and the father and son shared the will of family happiness, but the envoy came a little slowly, and the prince was too anxious, so he committed suicide, and everything was a misunderstanding.
As a result, the Son of Heaven will be very sad, and will even pardon many of the crimes of the prince's remnants, including the prince's wife, concubines, children, etc., maybe after more than ten years, the prince's son will have a chance to come out again.
Although this kind of operation is to cover your ears and steal the bell, it is difficult to hide it from the discerning person, but no matter what, everyone has the face to go down the steps, even Yang Guifei will raise her hands to support.
By the way, what about the envoy? What is the desired outcome of the envoy?
Of course, the prince doesn't want to die, but his wives and concubines don't want to bury the prince, and then kill the prince, so that the prince will be killed by a traitor, and a big prison can be raised and countless people killed, and the prince's family is equivalent to real death.
When the crown princess came over today, she may have found that the prince insisted on refusing to commit suicide, or wanted to die with the prince, so she had to dismiss her subordinates with tears, but ...... Shen Yu is not in a hurry, it is a big deal to come to this world, the simulation failed, and he lost a few points, on the contrary, according to Shen Yu's estimate, there are four stages for people to accept the unacceptable reality, and now the prince is only the first stage, but sooner or later, he may have to go to the fourth stage.
Putting the rattan box on the head of the bed, Shen Yu picked up the text left by the scholar and looked at it.
In his room, there are some medical books, and even a medical book that he compiled himself, which is very good, just compare it and see if there is any difference.
Well, the words are still very well written.
……
Down for the day.
Shen Yu didn't go out, including eating, and only ate some pastries in the house.
Outside the window, there was a lot of commotion, many maids, subordinates, etc., crying, scattering and fleeing, the scene was very sad, but there was no chaos and noise.
The crown princess and the prince's wives and concubines stood in the courtyard, sending everyone away one by one, and even telling them where to go, how to escape, and so on.
It can be seen that the family law of the Prince's Mansion is very good.
And on the tall building in the distance, the prince was drunken and dancing on his hands, he was docile and talented back then, but now, under the feast of silk and bamboo, he danced like a madman.
Also, the secret envoy of the imperial court came here with great fanfare, the meaning is very clear, you take the initiative, we will give you a decent, if you are not decent, then ...... Probably you will be very undignified.
But who wants to die? At the age of thirty-three, he has been a prince diligently for more than ten years (after becoming an adult), but he ended up where he is now, Shen Yu even heard his drunken voice yelling, you want me to die, I won't die, I want to make those people lose face and so on.
All right......
Shen Yu continued to stay in the courtyard, not going out, not talking to people, waiting for the final result.
The next day, the crown princess came again, and euphemistically said to Shen Yu, you should leave, here, it is just the end of the jade burning, Shen Yu said that since he followed all the way from the imperial capital, he naturally didn't care about life and death, and only hoped that the crown princess would let him stay.
The crown princess bowed deeply to Shen Yu, and then left, and after that, she brought food every day.
I don't know which of the prince's wives and concubines made the food, but it tastes really good.
Alas, this prince, Shen Yu didn't want to talk about him.
He is the eldest son of the Son of Heaven, and the rest of the brothers died one after another, and a few of the fish that slipped through the net were also from humble backgrounds, so he is a clear and unmistakable prince in law.
Maybe it's the lack of competition, or because he was brainwashed by the sage book, he was the prince, he was really the prince, when the Son of Heaven was seriously ill nine years ago, he was in charge of the country for two years, and he didn't think about going further, whether the Son of Heaven was unconscious, or his body began to improve, he was doing things conscientiously.
This conscientious work is the most nonsense, because to do things conscientiously is to really cut off some people's heads, offend some powerful people and even make the entire upper echelons think that you are a bit harsh.
Shen Yu didn't know what he thought, but after the old emperor recovered, he began to like Yang Guifei in the harem, and supported the Yang family to play against him.
After all, the old emperor was like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and when he felt the strength of the crown prince, he wanted to test or cut off his wings.
In fact, at this time, if he makes up his mind, he also has a chance, after all, he is a righteous prince, and he has been in charge of the country for two years, and his wings are all over the government and the opposition, but ...... He actually endured it, maybe because he was dedicated to the country, maybe he didn't want father and son to kill each other, but there are many things, if you don't move, your subordinates can't bear it.
An attempted conspiracy, an officer who wanted to support the crown prince...... Several things developed, coupled with the help of many people, so in the end, everything went to the point of no return.
But...... What does this have to do with Shen Yu?
Well, for the dinner at night, the beef soup was so delicious that Shen Yu almost licked the bowl clean.
Also, back then, the crown prince was only one step away from the throne, and at that time, the forces in the world were eager to marry the most beautiful, precious, talented and servant daughter of their family to the prince.
I just don't know which concubine made it, or which cook?
Shen Yu didn't know, but it didn't prevent him from saying when he was closing the meal, a few more dishes for the next meal, it was best to change some tricks, the taste was excellent, thank you.
The subordinate looked at Shen Yu a little strangely, and had nothing to say to this sunny young man, but in the evening, the meal sent over changed from two dishes and one soup to six dishes and one soup.
Well, the tender fried meat, the ruddy and complete meatballs, the crisp and lovely vegetarian dishes like cicada wings, and a white fungus lotus seed soup made Shen Yu eat very, very enjoyable.
In the last world, in order to maintain his size, he had to avoid eating, but this world ...... I'm the king of big stomachs, what are you afraid of when I'm fat?
I just walked away a few months later.
Ah...... Prince, your wives are really good.
……
In the past few days, Shen Yu has sat calmly in the room, reading the books of sages and medical skills every day, sitting upright like a green pine, as if life and death are out of the way.
In addition to three meals a day and enjoying the food - everyone has three meals on weekdays, Uncle Shen mentioned, can there be breakfast? Then, there was breakfast.
There were also people in the middle who peeked at Shen Yu, and in the end they all sighed and left.
This young man really wanted to open it.
Finally, one day, someone quickly reported that the imperial court envoy was already a post station thirty miles away from Linzhou City.
This is the last decent chance given by the imperial court to the crown prince.
In the past few days, the prince, who did not show up, suddenly summoned everyone in the palace, including Shen Yu.
The gathering place was a four-story high-rise building in the palace, and when Shen Yu went up, he could see the firewood piled up downstairs, as well as a few barrels of fire oil placed in it.
It can be seen that the crown prince has been prepared to be undignified, and when the envoy comes, he will angrily reprimand the envoy, and then tell everything that the Son of Heaven has done over the years, and the last fire will take him and all the people away.
All right......
In fact, Shen Yu could have left yesterday, after all, the prince had made up his mind, and it was useless for him to stay, but ...... Yesterday morning's breakfast was so delicious, the other party may have felt that Director Shen really likes to eat, so he sent ten dishes and one soup at noon, and they are all Director Shen's favorite meals...... It's just that the egg soup is a bit bad.
Well, this time, Shen Yu's belly is round, with a big elbow in his left hand, a leg of mutton in his right hand, a steamed fish in front of him, and a ...... in his throat Alas, this made Shen Yu feel that it was better to continue to stay.
If you are killed today, you will be killed, but you will lose two points, which is the accumulation of two days in another world, but this kind of food is really hard to live up to.
Originally, there were still hundreds of people in the palace who were willing to stay, but what the prince did today, only sixty or seventy people were left in the end, and these people stood on the first and second floors anxiously, waiting for the final fate.
Well, even if the crown prince is like this, there are quite a few people who are willing to follow him, which is really good.
Shen Yu walked up, there were more than a dozen guards on the third floor, nodding to them, Shen Yu came to the fourth floor.
The prince resolutely refused to commit suicide, he said that I was going to die, so I would die vigorously, he would rather listen to the envoy read the holy decree and force him to commit suicide, rather than commit suicide in advance, so that everyone's face is good.
The subordinates even discussed that the prince's previous plan was more radical, he drunkenly said that he would rebel, Qing Jun side, etc., not to commit suicide, but to let the royal family kill him under the sword and gun, but ...... was persuaded by the crown princess and dismissed everyone.
When the crown prince was deposed, he had no power to fight back, so why bother with other loyal subordinates at this time? Your enemies want you to do the same.
On the fourth floor, there were more than a dozen beautiful women, all dressed in complicated and gorgeous clothes, these were the prince's concubines, Shen Yu took a look, and did not find the person who was cooking.
But...... This morning's meal had a bit of a bitter and astringent taste, and it should have been tears falling into it.
They sat one by one, some with children in their arms, others with children as young as seven or eight years old.
Under the nest, there will be no eggs!
"How are you?"
The prince's situation today looks fine, including his face is normal, there is no trace of being beaten at all - this is also what the next person said, someone saw the princess yesterday to persuade the prince to no avail, and for the first time in his life, he got angry, slapped him a few times, and then cried bitterly, saying Please be decent, if you want to die, we will die with you, but you at least finish the last performance.
Well, Shen Yu guessed that the prince finally accepted the last step today.
"Thank you for always following me, so, at this last moment, please go."
He regained his old demeanor and looked very calm.
He asked the maids and subordinates below to come up, and those people kowtowed to the prince one after another, and then accepted the reality, took the money one by one, and left, of course, there were also refusals, and the prince didn't say anything, let them retreat.
Shen Yudan was a little painful, it seemed that the prince still didn't want to give the court decency, and he didn't want to give himself decency!
