Volume 2 The Homeland in Beijing Chapter 40 The Secrets of the Ming Imperial Family
Chu Liufeng saw the school again, no, it was Zhu Youxiao, the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
The Taihe Hall of the Forbidden City is magnificent.
Rows of dazzling brocade guards lined up all around, and under this magnificent palace, they were at most a foil.
The sky is as blue as the sea, and the geese are flying north, are you going to Guanwai, Chu Liufeng thought of Yang Xizhen again, and Wanyan Changsong.
"Summoning Yu Changkong, the commander of the East Factory, and the Jinyi Guard commanding Wan Wushui and others to enter the palace."
A shout pulled back Chu Liufeng's thoughts, and hurriedly walked a few steps to catch up with Yu Changkong and Wan Wushui in front, today the emperor summoned the two of them, I don't know why, but he brought Chu Liufeng a little, so Chu Liufeng's wish was also fulfilled.
The three of them bowed three times and bowed to the monarch and ministers, and then they took a few steps back with their heads half-bowed, standing there and not daring to move.
No one spoke in the hall for a long time, and even the wind outside could be heard hunting with dragon flags, and the atmosphere was tense.
Chu Liufeng almost suppressed his breath.
"Yu Changkong! The thief robbed Chen Qingyang, who was about to be beheaded from the Dongchang prison, what crime should you be guilty of? Fortunately, Xiong Tingbi was beheaded two days earlier, or the thieves would have taken him away with him, what face would the Celestial Empire have? ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youxiao, on the dragon chair, finally spoke, his voice was majestic, but he was obviously lacking in qi.
As Yu Changkong knelt down with a plop and kept kowtowing, Chu Liufeng raised his head slightly.
Looking through the afterglow, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was sitting in the center, with two people sitting on either side of him, on the left hand side was the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian, and on the right hand side was actually a forty-year-old lama, and the lama looked like he was still Han.
Yu Changkong's head was already broken, the blue bricks were red, and the face of Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Apocalypse was pale, with a slight bruise, and there was already a murderous aura in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, the Dongchang prison is derelict in its responsibility, Yu Changkong deserves to die, and the old minister is also to blame, but there is one thing, but I don't know whether to talk about it or not?"
Wei Zhongxian was yin and yang, and his attitude was extremely arrogant, and he still sat on a chair and said it.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Apocalypse still coughed out.
Chu Liufeng was shocked, and couldn't help but look up at Zhu Youxiao, just met Zhu Youxiao's gaze looking down, Chu Liufeng was about to lower his head to avoid it, and vaguely saw that Zhu Youxiao's eyes were full of softness, even a relieved look, and his heart couldn't help but feel relieved, and he was not so nervous.
"The courtiers have already investigated, the person who kidnapped Chen Qingyang is the person of the White Lotus Sect Leader Mao Yitian, Xiao Lingyan, who was originally the head of the Red Yang Sect of the White Lotus Sect, this matter is absolutely true.
Now Chen Qingyang is in Xiao Lingyan's Wuling Villa. ”
When Chu Liufeng and Wan Wushui heard this, they were so frightened that they were sweating through their clothes, and the two of them quickly knelt down.
Yu Changkong over there stopped kowtowing and looked at this senior brother coldly.
"The White Lotus Sect was disbanded ten years ago, and it was witnessed by the old emperor of Wanli and Master Mao, and there was no more White Lotus Sect in the Ming Dynasty.
Xiao Lingyan came to rescue Chen Qingyang, it should be their private friendship, don't involve this matter with the former White Lotus Sect. ”
Wei Zhongxian's face next to him turned pale for a while, and he didn't know where to put his two hands, but he didn't know what to say in anger.
"There is no water, Chu Liufeng!"
Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Apocalypse shouted softly after speaking.
Wan Wushui Chu Liufeng hurriedly stood up and bowed in response.
"Send the two of you to lead the elite of Jinyi Wei to Wuling Mountain, and arrest Chen Qingyang for me.
Make no mistake! ”
After Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, Chu Liufeng and Wan Wushui were almost stunned, how did they get this errand?
Wei Zhongxian couldn't hide the spring breeze on his face.
"Your Majesty, who did you ask them to arrest in Wuling Mountain, then Xiao Lingyan has already gone to the gate to take revenge, Chen Qingyang must go with him.
I came all the way south to ask you to send people to northern Shaanxi as soon as possible, and now the Jurchens are also trying to contact the 36th battalion, and it is urgent to fight the tiger as soon as possible. ”
That lama is really Han, and he still speaks in a pure Jingshi tone.
"What the Venerable Master said is that I will take back my life."
Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Apocalypse was very respectful to this lama.
Chu Liufeng felt strange, and went to see the Venerable Master, just staring at him, Chu Liufeng couldn't help but shudder, the Venerable Lama's eyes were like torches, as if they had penetrated Chu Liufeng's body, and his eyes were murderous and cold, which was the momentum that only today's great grandmasters have.
"This is the Master of the Dragon Elephant in Mobei, who was the guest of the old emperor of Wanli, my grandfather."
Zhu Youxiao said, the Dragon Elephant Master had already withdrawn his gaze, and the fierce murderous aura in his eyes disappeared at once, revealing some sentimentality.
The Venerable Dragon Elephant was a monk, did he also have sad memories? Or is he not practicing enough? He was only in his forties.
At this time, Wei Zhongxian was already closing his eyes and recuperating, like a deaf person, not saying anything, not looking at anything.
——————
Chu Liufeng walked out of the Forbidden City, relieved, still thinking about Yu Changkong's screams in his ears, fifty boards waiting, it was better than losing his life.
Thinking of the eyes of the Venerable Dragon Elephant, Chu Liufeng was a little scared and a little puzzled.
Jin Yiwei commanded the yamen to be outside the noon gate, Chu Liufeng took the mount and was about to say hello to the senior brother Wan Wushui, but the others were gone, so he got on the horse and went in the direction of Shichahai.
——————
Shichahai is a pool of blue waves, and the eyes are full of tenderness. A pot of hot tea, full of aroma, Chu Liufeng people quickly felt a lot more comfortable.
Before going to northern Shaanxi, I finally saw Xiao'er again, and it was also a knot, by the way, and the pill, I had to let Yongning talk to Xiao'er, Yongning went to say, it might be better.
Chu Liufeng was very relieved and drank a cup of hot tea.
The wind blew, and the surface of Shichahai Lake rippled. After a while, the surface of the lake actually had waves, and the waves were getting higher and higher, Chu Liufeng was a little surprised, and looked into the distance.
Two boats came straight from opposite sides of the lake, and the boats became faster and faster, setting off the waves and shooting at each other.
Waves, whistling, and laughter.
The whistling sound was made by a dragon in a small boat, and the laughter came from the prince of another small boat, and there was a low cough.
Two rows of waves several feet high collided together, and they fell down with a bang, making a loud rumbling sound, and the splash even fell on Chu Liufeng's clothes, making people feel a little painful.
The two boats had already crossed the waves on the surface of the lake, and turned around again, and the prince and the dragon elephant on the boat were separated by a few zhang from an internal force, and the boat under the two seats could not bear the force, and it was getting farther and farther away, and finally it had stopped.
Wang Gonggong's skill actually seemed to be much higher than when Jinling Mochou Lake and Jiangshan were against the enemy, could it be that he had internal injuries at that time?
"After so many years, you have come back and started to guide the country, it is better to let the emperor give up the throne to you."
The prince coughed as he spoke.
"I've been in Beijing for all these years, you are used to covering the sky with one hand, turning clouds with your left hand and rain with your right palm.
Xinwang Zhen'er is still young, don't teach him badly. ”
The Venerable Dragon Elephant was a little angry, and he took a selfie at the prince from a long distance.
"Since ancient times, the cycle of heaven and earth, there are virtuous people living in this world, the inspector is in power, he is resolute and decisive, the northeast border pass, and the mob in the sea will not be like this."
"Humph! If Jian'er doesn't take the throne, it's not up to you, the emperor will still sit in the Forbidden City, and one day in the future, Zhen'er will really succeed to the throne, and your disciple Wei Zhongxian will not be divided by the five horses It is a great luck. ”
The Venerable Dragon Elephant sneered, and the prince's face suddenly turned much paler, and he was speechless for a while.
The hot tea in Chu Liufeng's hand was already cold, and his hands were even a little cold, and the days in February and March in Jingshi were indeed a little cold.
He listened to the conversation between the two on Shichahai Lake in a daze, and he was even more puzzled about the origin of this dragon elephant.
Suddenly, there was a sound of piano, floating from far and near, accompanied by crying and laughing.
After a while, there was already a person standing on the eaves of the temple next to Shichahai, a woman dressed in white, holding a guqin in her hand, and the woman was crying and laughing while playing and singing.
Although the woman in white was wearing a straw hat, Chu Liufeng still recognized it as the nun he had seen on the shore of Taihu Lake that night.
"Master Fengling?"
The prince squinted, stared at the dazzling sunlight, looked at the woman in white, and said softly, asking.
"Master Fengling?"
Could it be that she is the biological mother that Yongning went to Jiangnan to find, Chu Liufeng was a little nervous and a little excited.
"What are you two madmen talking about?
Xiao'er and Jian'er are also my children, and no one can hurt them, so let me know that I killed him as well.
By the way, and, ......"
Master Fengling suddenly cried again, and the person was gone.
The guqin in her hand fell down and floated on the surface of the lake in Shichahai, but it slowly floated towards Chu Liufeng.
This is Yongning Niang's thing, and I want to give it to Yongning.
Chu Liufeng thought so, and the person also flew to the surface of the lake and copied the guqin.
At this time, the prince on the boat sighed heavily.
——————
Yongning hugged the guqin thrown down by Mrs. Fengling tightly, and tears rained down.
"This is a thing in the palace, she has been gone for all these years, this guqin has always been with her, and she can find Jingshi again?
Is she really crazy, or is she pretending to be crazy? ”
My aunt comforted Yongning on the side.
"If she hadn't gone crazy, she would have come to see me, even if it was just a glance, I have been thinking about her for more than ten years, she is alone, wandering the rivers and lakes, why is it."
Tears poured down, as if they were dripping to the bottom of Chu Liufeng's heart, the same pain.
"Ning'er!
She will come to see you sooner or later, don't be too sad, she was in the sea twenty years ago, she is at ease in the rivers and lakes, crying when she wants, laughing when she wants, it's better than being trapped in the Forbidden City.
She's happier than both of us. ”
After the aunt finished speaking, she picked up the handkerchief and wiped the tears on Yongning's face.
"Does the eldest princess know about the Dragon Elephant Master?"
Chu Liufeng suddenly asked Xiang Yongning's aunt.
"When have you ever seen the Dragon Elephant Master?"
"Today, the emperor summoned me, and I am fortunate to meet the Venerable Dragon Elephant."
Chu Liufeng looked at the eldest princess's eyes, a little restrained.
"I have only seen the Venerable Dragon Elephant once, and I still remember that it was in the spring of the thirty-eighth year of Wanli, before the old emperor returned to heaven, he came to Jingshi, and that time he had a secret conversation with the old emperor for a long time, and then he never heard of him again.
By the way, he was still young at that time, and he was already called the Venerable Master, as if he had just returned from Tubo and then went to Mobei, and happened to pass by Jingshi. ”
The Dragon Elephant Master must have had an unusual relationship with the Ming royal family, and even the eldest princess didn't know this secret.
Xiao'er must know, by the way, and Wang Gonggong, he knows everything, only he is the one who controls this Ming Jingshi.
