One hundred and fifty-four chapters

Liu Ziqi went through thick and thin, and rushed all the way to Beijing with stars and moons. However, after waiting for more than half a month, I still didn't see the Son of Heaven.

Because the Son of Heaven is sick.

When the big explosion occurred on the sixth day of the fifth month, the Son of Heaven reacted quickly, and was the first to run out of the temple, followed by only one attendant, Xiao Shunzi. Xiao Shunzi instinctively opened her arms to cover the Holy Son of Heaven. There was another big earthquake, and a glazed tile that flew out of the roof of the hall was directly inserted into the forehead of Xiao Shunzi, and this loyal little chamberlain died in front of the Holy Son of Heaven, and the brains and blood splashed all over the face of the Holy Son of Heaven. In a hurry, the Son of Heaven ran back to the temple again and hid under a table until he was discovered by Li Shizhong, who rushed to the rescue.

This earthquake came and went quickly, but the shocks in the court were long-lasting. Some of the courtiers were wounded and some died, but those who survived continued to fight more intensively under the pretext of the problem. The biggest blow to the Son of Heaven was the untimely death of the only prince so far, Zhu Cijiong. The Son of Heaven's body has not been very strong, and under repeated stimulation, he finally fell ill and has not been in the court for more than two months.

The news that Lu Guangyu was killed by Zhang Thief on the North Road was also sent back to Jingshi. Sun Jie's pursuit has been stopped, and no one knows what Zhang Thief will do next, but everyone knows in their hearts that this time it has fallen short, and for a long time in the future, Zhang Thief will continue to plague the place.

There was even more chaos in the court. The fact that the Son of Heaven is not in the court does not mean that the hundred officials will stop, on the contrary, because there is no referee, all the players from all walks of life simply go out and fight, oh, okay, hit with their mouths. One by one, the foam of the mouth is more impassioned than the righteousness. However, after all, these people have received the same kind of education since childhood, the mode of thinking is generally the same, and the way of quarreling is the same, all of which are clichés: first they make an opening statement with a heartache, and then they make a cloud and mountain fog cover that they can't beat, and then they put forward a bunch of grand strategies regardless of whether they are operable or not, and then without exception they attribute all other people who do not agree with their own ideas to "villains": the differences in administrative management must always rise to " In the end, all arguments will inevitably turn into accusing each other of losing their personal morality - well, Ya is a villain with sores on the top of his head and pus on the soles of his feet, can the villain come up with a good idea!

This logic is so perfect that it is simply impeccable.

In order to show his selflessness, Gao Shiyang, who was the first to recommend Lu Guangyu, was also the first to play, and Lu Guangyu was "greedy for merit, and even taken advantage of by thieves". A discerning person can see at a glance that this is clearly to excuse General Lu: ability is absolutely no problem, if people are incapable, how dare they "be greedy for merit", right? Since it is greedy for "merit", then loyalty is not a problem! This is pre-qualitative. The next "even" is to summarize the reasons for failure, failure is the mother of success, and it would be good to pay attention to it next time. When Master Gao exonerates Lu Guangyu, he is excusing himself - whether it is character or ability, what he recommends is right, and the reason why it is unfavorable is that General Lu is just careless. As for the dead soldiers, the lost equipment, and the civilians who will inevitably suffer from Zhang Hu's poison in the future...... Hehe, no one mentioned it at all.

The Ministry of Engineering is responsible for building, and it costs a lot of money every year, and the protégé of the same year of the big man is a lot of old friends, so what is the use of not helping you at this time? The cabinet members have no personal enmity with Master Xiu, otherwise they would not unanimously agree to let Master Xiu lead the army, who will bite the conscientious old man to death? Therefore, the final result is that Master Xiu recuperates his body at home, Lu Guangyu is temporarily imprisoned, and Gonggong An buys a house and continues to sweep the floor of the saint in the palace.

Qiao Nanxing still can't get along with Sun Jie. First of all, you and Zhang Thief have been confronting each other for more than half a year without gaining an inch of land, is this a fact? Suddenly, a gang of barbarian soldiers came, and the city was broken in one go? Hehe, is it ...... Isn't it doubtful that something so strange is happening? Lord Ben heard the rumors in the market, and Sun Shuai was shocked when he heard that General Lu, the master of the North Road Xiu, had formed a situation where the thieves had formed Mount Tai's overwhelming situation, so he immediately launched an attack! Then within one day, even the Kenanjin Pass and Baoning Mansion - the casualties were less than 100 (Ma Qiancheng's native soldiers were not in the list of the imperial court's military department at this time, and they deserved to be dead and disabled, and the imperial court did not recognize them)! You're so powerful, why did you go earlier? It would be strange if there was nothing greasy in this! If you can fight so well, how did you get run away by that thief? It's a bit strange that I haven't caught up after chasing for so many days. In other words, where are all the treasures of the thief now? Could there be some mystery in this? Didn't Lord Ben say that you were a thief, but can you Sun Shuai ensure that your subordinates are 100% reliable? Take 10,000 steps back and say, this time takes more than half a year, is it self-respect, Sun Shuai needs to explain it well!

Wang Qingyuan, the imperial history of Zuo Yidu, pointed out the "three worries" from a lofty position: I didn't expect that the barbarian Tufan had such a deep friendship with the Ming military town, and he didn't want food to help each other without making a fuss, first, the trouble of Banzhou was just flat, and the two chiefs of Lu'an were ready to move, if as Sun Jie said, the stone and earth soldiers were as strong as this, I am afraid that it was not the blessing of the imperial court, and second, after breaking through Baoning, it is said that Sun Jie handed over the treasury and silver to Sichuan Province, but he collected all the arsenal materials, and most of the stored grain was also his own...... Although it can be said that there is some truth, but if it is said that the picture is big and explained, don't forget, think that Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, entered the Hangu Pass, and remembered it in black and white: "There is nothing to take from property, nothing to give women luck, and this ambition is not small!" Gaozu was also "loyal" to King Xiang at that time...... Thirdly!

Zuo Yizhi immediately jumped out and praised Wang Qingyuan for his foresight and foresight, and before he finished speaking, the mad Lord Liu Ziqi rushed forward and slapped him with a big mouth, and then punched him on the ground. Lord Liu didn't dare to play the top boss, and he didn't dare to beat you outside the noon door when you were straight (through "value", the ancient text is written "straight") to give things! Lord Zuo scolded people very much, and his fists and feet were too far behind Lord Liu, who had been inspecting and running around for the Holy Son of Heaven all over the world, and he was too far behind, and when the other adults understood and came over and hugged and dragged Lord Liu away, Lord Zuo had been beaten into a five-eyed blue and rolled on the ground and cried......

Soon after, Ma Qiancheng was escorted to Beijing. Of course, it was impossible for the upright old horse to see the face of the Son of Heaven to distinguish for himself, so he had to be temporarily locked up in the edict. Sun Jie and Zhang Hu have not yet been cleared up, and the adults have found a new topic to tear each other apart. This topic is too important, and the sky and the earth can't compare with this - once again a dispute broke out in the imperial court! The only prince of the Holy Son of Heaven died, and the news from the palace was that the Holy Lord's body seemed to be worse every day! What can I do? Everyone is worried about Daming...... Oh well, actually, it's for yourself. Some people propose that the younger brother of the saint, King Cheng, is already fifteen years old, and it stands to reason that he should go out of Beijing at this age, but in extraordinary times, it is still slow, and some people refute that the saint is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and there is no need to make a fuss about it for a while. We have said before that this kind of "meritorious service" is related to the future of the entire family, and the vast majority of courtiers have plunged into it, who is still rare to take advantage of Ma Qiancheng? There was a mess in the court, and then, the old horse in the edict was forgotten by everyone!

Until the news came out of the palace......

In fact, it was not official news, knowing that the outer court had already quarreled, Li Shizhong sent two little eunuchs out of the palace to buy sour apricots, which were seen by people with intentions intentionally or unintentionally. A set of almost stuffed with some silver, so everyone knew that there were two mothers who wanted to eat apricots recently, so they stopped. However, no one dares to talk nonsense and joke about their heads, and the infant mortality rate in this era is extremely high, and all parties tacitly "forget" whether King Cheng wants to leave Beijing and become a vassal, and no one will mention it anymore.

The Sun family is also deeply rooted in the court. One evening, not long after Lord Liu entered Beijing, a small sedan chair knocked on the door of Sun's house under the escort of several family members. Diagonally diagonally, a vendor selling sugar gourds looked up at the grocery shop shopkeeper who was leaning listlessly on the counter, and quickly exchanged an imperceptible look: It's okay, this is Mrs. Sun's sedan chair, it should be the old lady or which of Mrs. Sun's sisters came to visit the door. The two secret agents recognized the Tang family's sedan chair and the old housekeeper of the Tang family, but it was impossible to know all the members of the Tang family, and one of them was a member of the Sun family-Sun Jie's personal guard General Shi Erlei!

At the third watch that night, Er Lei heard the movement outside the wall in the courtyard of Sun Mansion, and whistled lightly, and then several people came in outside the wall one after another, each with a burden on their bodies. None of them spoke, leaving their burdens and coming out of the wall again - although they were deeply trusted by the Son of Heaven, the home of this kind of general with heavy troops must be the key monitoring object of the factory guards, and they must not be careless.

After defeating Baoning, Sun Jie and Ma Qiancheng lived in the mansion, but they were really busy in those days, and the personal guards of the two only hastily checked to confirm that there were no hidden thieves, and no one wanted to rummage through anything. When Sun Jie's whole army went north to pursue Zhang Hu, Shi Jing, who stayed in Baoning, was bored and looked around in the palace. Zhang Hu always thought that Baoning was solid as gold, and he didn't hide it seriously, and the gold jewelry shells that had been plundered for thousands of miles were discovered by General Shi Shen the next day. Shi Shen will be a few years older than Sun Jie, like Shangguan Feisheng and a few meritorious workers, their ancestors are all begging for a life under the banner of the Sun family, and their children and grandchildren will be the same, the fate of each person and each family has been inseparable from the Sun family, and they will prosper and lose together. This is a typical Jiangmen group in Daming.

When Sun Jie returned to Chengdu, Ishii handed over the defense to the officers sent by the Dusi Mansion, and naturally brought the treasure he found to meet Sun Jie. This wealth came at the right time, and on the same day, Shi Erlei went to Shangguan Fei's horse team to ask for a few good players, and with the military envoy Lu Lu from the third division of the Sichuan Mansion, he led one person and three horses, ventured into Shaanxi, and then went straight to Beijing all the way non-stop. Several people changed into civilian clothes outside the city, and then entered the city separately through several gates mixed with camel caravans and caravans from the south.

The Sun family has stood in the Ming Dynasty for two hundred years, relying not only on the bravery of the previous generations, but also on the wisdom. Shi Erlei first found Mrs. Sun Jie's maiden family, and the Tang family is also a military attache family, but the old man works in Beijing, and there will be no spies from the factory guard at the door. After knowing the intention, he put on the clothes of the family and followed Mrs. Tang's sedan chair into the grandson's house in a grand manner - this is normal for the old lady to come and see her daughter and grandson at ease.
