132:Can't fall short (2nd watch)
That night, the Marquis of Xingnan came secretly, and Zhao Jin met with the uncle in the secret room.
"Uncle, how is my aunt?"
When Xingnanhou heard this, he sighed, "Your aunt is fine, but now for her safety, I can only forcibly lock her up in the mansion......"
Zhao Jin's mood instantly sank to the bottom, allowing Xingnanhou to make such a move to show outsiders, the situation outside was much more serious than the news he got, "Is something wrong with Your Majesty?" It's the Seven Emperor Uncles who do it. ”
As a concubine, the Marquis of Xingnan has always been very low-key, but when the old emperor was able to marry his eldest daughter to him, it proved that this person must be the henchman of the old emperor.
Concubine Zheng, the biological mother of the seventh prince, has always been not as high-profile as Concubine Shu in the harem, she belongs to the kind of moisturizing and silent, hiding herself very well, and even infiltrating the palace into a sieve, before he completely ignored this person, in fact, Concubine Shu is a chess piece rushing in front, and Concubine Zheng is the one who hides behind and plunders the fruits of victory, so the third prince died unjustly.
Xingnanhou didn't expect that Zhao Jin had already seen through everything, and now he also directly opened the skylight and said brightly, "Your Majesty has been imprisoned in the palace by Concubine Zheng and the Seventh Prince, and now no one can approach him, and there is a traitor in the Jinyi Guard, I found out that it was too late, and finally accepted the name, which won their trust and can move freely for the time being, now you don't care so much, I have already arranged to send you out of Beijing, you will only be more dangerous here." ”
This danger is self-evident, Concubine Zheng and the mother and son of the Seventh Emperor have now controlled the center, and it is impossible to break through from the inside, and they can only break this barrier from the outside to turn the tables against the wind.
"What about grandfather?" Zhao Jin said in a deep voice.
The old emperor is a banner, and now it is in the hands of Concubine Zheng's mother and son, through his orders, then things will become more complicated, no matter what, you can't abandon him at this juncture, after all, he is related to the overall situation.
The Marquis of Xingnan also knows the stakes, as long as Concubine Zheng's mother and son succeed in forcing the old emperor to abdicate and make way for Xian, then the seventh prince will be able to ascend the throne justifiably.
At this time, he gave way to the side, revealing the depressed grandfather behind him, only to see the grandfather of the priest kneeling down towards Zhao Jin, crying, "Your Highness, the slave is useless, I failed to rescue Your Majesty, Your Majesty took the medicine that fell into a coma, so I didn't let Concubine Zheng and the Seven Princes force the Jade Seal to find out where the jade seal was......"
As he spoke, he took out the heirloom jade seal from his arms with trembling hands, and what wrapped the heirloom jade seal was a blood-stained Ming Huang Holy Decree, only to see him hold these two things up and present them in front of Zhao Jin.
"This is the will of His Majesty before he fell into a coma, this holy decree of the prince is written by His Majesty himself, and there is a file in the living note, and this jade seal is His Majesty asked the slave maid to take it out and transfer it to His Royal Highness, His Majesty said that His Royal Highness is his intended heir......"
At this point, he was already in tears.
If it weren't for the fact that this holy decree of the prince was spied on, and told to Concubine Zheng, the old emperor would not have suffered this catastrophe, Concubine Zheng's reaction was too fast.
In her early years, she took advantage of the old emperor's infatuation with cultivating immortals, and placed her eyeliner in the old emperor's bedroom, and then colluded with Jiang Xing, the great eunuch at the time, to secretly replace the people around the old emperor with theirs one by one.
Fortunately, the time when he became the eunuch of the master of ceremonies was too short, and the group of people did not look down on him very much, and felt that he could not turn over any storms, so he was left to wait for the old emperor.
His cooperation finally made the guards relax their vigilance, and then they secretly came out of the palace at the risk of death, and suffered a lot for this, as if they had returned to the time when they were helpless in the silkworm room.
Zhao Jin stepped forward to help his father-in-law, and smelled a strong fishy smell on his body, which showed that his words had a high degree of credibility, but Rao was so, he was not careless, he took the jade seal and holy decree in his hand, and looked at it carefully by the candle flame in the secret room.
The words of the old emperor can be recognized at a glance, this is indeed the will of the Taoist to make him the prince, and it is also covered with a jade seal, and the jade seal of the country is also true.
At this point, his eyes were slightly red, and he patted Grandpa Si's shoulder, "Huaijin, it's hard work." ”
When Si Gonggong heard this old name, he was in a trance for a while, and then burst into tears, since he was clean, he deliberately forgot that his name was Si Huaijin, and he couldn't leave it for the Si family, he had no shame to see the ancestors of the Si family.
Xingnanhou urged again, "Let's go quickly, everything is arranged, if you don't leave, it will be too late, the people of the three major battalions can enter Beijing before dawn, and now their commander is Concubine Zheng's old lover, and the capital can't be saved." ”
It is self-evident what the back hand used is, in addition to being the henchman of the old emperor, the Marquis of Xingnan is also the friend of Zhao Jin's biological father, Prince Duande.
"It will be very dangerous for my aunt to stay here, so why don't I let my aunt leave Beijing with me......"
Xingnanhou shook his head and rejected the proposal, "Your aunt can't leave, if she leaves, then my vote will be meaningless, go, I can still be an internal response here." ”
Zhao Jin looked at this uncle deeply, the eldest princess of the aunt was accepted by him as a name to Concubine Zheng's mother and son, so that he could gain their trust, but in this way, could the aunt forgive him afterwards?
Xingnanhou smiled bitterly, "There are priorities, your aunt will understand, but I can swear to you, if your aunt is in danger, I will definitely give her a corpse first, and then they will not let your aunt have an accident in order to contain me." ”
"Your Highness, let's go, it's not good to get out of Beijing if it's too late." Si Huaijin also urged, "You can't fall short." ”
yes, you can't afford to fall short.
Zhao Jin gritted his teeth and reached out to hug Xingnanhou, "I will never forget my uncle's contribution today." ”
Xingnanhou's eyes moistened slightly, and he also reached out and hugged this dear son, this farewell, I don't know if there is a day to meet again, fortunately, his eldest son is far away in Yiyang, at least he can stay behind.
Zhao Jin took Si Huaijin and Zhou Nan and a small number of good hands, and secretly went out of Beijing along the arranged route at night.
The group of people was in a hurry, and they turned into businessmen and they met the soldiers and horses of the three battalions who were hurriedly redeployed in the suburbs, and the sound of horses' hooves was deafening, which showed that the strength of this transfer was very great, but fortunately, their group did not attract attention, and they escaped under the noses of the three major battalions.
Looking back at the capital, I only saw smoke and dust billowing out.
It was not only Zhao Jin who fled, but several adult princes who felt that something was wrong had already urinated, and Zhao Gong, the seventh prince who was still thinking about waking up the old emperor in the palace so that he could know the whereabouts of the jade seal, was suddenly angry.
"All gone?"
"Yes, Your Highness, except for the third prince, who has died, the fourth, sixth, and eighth princes have all gone to the empty building."
"Damn!" Zhao Gong slammed his fist on the table, and immediately gritted his teeth in pain, and then thought of the most critical person, "What about the eldest grandson?" You must keep an eye on him, and don't let him run away. ”
The old man is eccentric, and their sons don't weigh as much in his heart as a grandson, and he hates it when he thinks about it.
Speaking of this, the subordinate sweated on his forehead at this time and said, "Eldest grandson...... Also ran away......"
