Chapter Twenty-Three: Someone Rebelled!
My head was a mess at the moment. I kept thinking in my heart: 'Even if the person who is the edict is Li Fuling, even if he wants to kill Fusu and re-establish Huhai as in history, what can I do, I can't do anything!'
I don't know if Ying Zheng is dead or alive, what if Ying Zheng just fell ill and didn't die? What if it's the bureau set up by Ying Zheng to see how I will react? Who would dare to support me at this time? Feng Quji dared to take the initiative to come to me today, and he probably didn't have the courage to control Xianyang with me and then confirm the situation of Yingzheng......
Well? Wait a minute! Feng Quji?!! ’
Cold sweat broke out on my back: 'Feng Quji! If it's Feng Quji, he's lying to me! Maybe he himself wants to be the emperor, and he needs to borrow a knife to kill people! ’
From the time Feng Qujian entered the door to the present, all the news I heard was told to me by Feng Quji, and there was no second person to prove whether his words were true or false, and I didn't even see the messenger of the letter. I couldn't help but be wary.
I was about to open my mouth to test Feng Quji, when the white-collar wood shouted from afar: "Your Highness, someone asks to see you, and someone is in a hurry!" ”
I glanced at Feng Quji, Feng Quji nodded, I got up and walked to the door, and motioned for the white-collar Mu to bring someone over.
Immediately, a person dressed as a ranger walked over with the white-collar wood, and the white-collar wood saluted: "Your Highness, this person has a sword, and it has been confiscated, do you need a minister to be on the side." ”
My nerves have been tense since Feng Quji's arrival, and now let alone let me see a ranger, even a child I am worried that he will stab me with a knife. As soon as I wanted the white-collar wood to stay next to me, the person who came took out a token from his bosom and wrote the word "clean room" on it.
Then he bowed down and said: "I have seen His Highness in the Jiaodong clean room, please retreat from His Highness." ”
I looked at the people who came. Daqin has an official name called the Pure Room Order, which is a subordinate official of Lieutenant Cheng of Lieqing, and performs the duties of clearing the road when the emperor goes out on patrol.
However, the "clean room" token is not a token for the clean room order and his subordinates, and the person holding the token is not under the control of the three princes and nine secretaries, but is a secret agent under the jurisdiction of Shang Shufu's execution! The secret agent reports directly to the criminal officer, and the criminal officer plays the winning government.
The existence of the clean room is basically unknown to officials above 1,000 stones. The identity is even more obscure, and only the word "clean room" is shown to the public, and if it is a county-level secret agent, it will be named the county.
I waved my hand to let the white-collar wood step back, and the clean room saw the white-collar wood walk away, and took out a white silk and a square box from his arms.
Emperor's Edict! I just don't know what the box is.
The clean room handed me the edict and the box: "Your Highness, this edict is ordered for your Highness to look at it and make plans again, and Your Highness will know the things in the box at a glance." The villain retired. Then the man left without looking back.
I opened the edict: I am all right. Now there are thieves who want to rebel, and there are many participants, but I have not yet known everything. I already knew about the three edicts, and the secret order returned to Xianyang during the sentence, and when the sentence arrived, I went to Chengshan with Fusu according to the false edict. Ordered the right prime minister Feng Quji, Zong Zheng Yingwu, and Wei Wei to take charge of the army in the north and south of Xianyang to protect the internal history. This edict was handed over to Yingwu after reading it, and the tiger talisman was handed over to Feng to get sick. Remember to act in secrecy.
I opened the box and saw that it was the Tiger Talisman for Troop Mobilization. I felt a little at ease, but I didn't dispel my suspicions about Feng Quji.
Turning back into the house, Feng Quji immediately got up and asked, "Your Highness, who is coming?"
I spoke: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, I already have a plan, but I still need to wait for one person, and sit down first." "Now only when the sentence arrives can the edict and the tiger talisman be handed over to a few people to confirm the authenticity. As for why I trust the criminal zhong, if the criminal is also an accomplice of the false edict, wouldn't it be superfluous to give me the tiger talisman?
Although Feng Quji had doubts, seeing that I didn't mean to explain, he sat down slowly and kept asking Lan'er to refill his tea.
In the blink of an eye, the red sun was about to set, and Feng Qujian wanted to ask me several times, but finally held back. But in his heart, he was thinking: 'After all, the prince is a young man who has just tied his hair, isn't he frightened?' ’
I calculate the time, the clean room should get the edict and set off early, the sentence is Yingzheng's guard, and it must be a little later to find a chance to come back, and it should be there. Just when the patience of the two of us was about to run out, Bai Lingmu finally came in with the middle of the sentence.
As soon as he saw me during the sentence, he hurriedly saluted, and he didn't even have time to wipe the dust on his body and the sweat on his face, and when he saw that Feng Quji was also here, he hesitated and said: "I have seen the prime minister and His Royal Highness, did the clean room send the emperor's things?" ”
Seeing the execution, my heart was at ease, and my tense nerves relaxed slightly.
Feng Qujian looked at me suspiciously, and I replied, "It's been delivered." ”
Then he said apologetically to Feng Quji: "Prime Minister, don't blame, I just need to wait for the arrival of the sentence to determine the authenticity of this thing, and I didn't mean to deceive." ”
Feng Quji hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Your Highness has tormented the old minister, you should be cautious in this eventful season. ”
I then said, "In that case, we will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion immediately." ”
turned around and called Bai Lingmu and Meng He in, and ordered: "Bai Lingmu, you immediately call Zong Zheng Yingwu and Wei Wei to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion." Meng He, you start to prepare for going to Chengshan, and wait for me at the Prime Minister's Mansion after everything is arranged. When this is over, set off immediately. ”
Although Feng Quji didn't know the specific situation, he still nodded slightly when he saw my arrangement: There is already the appearance of a Ming Jun!
Then the three of them immediately went to the Prime Minister's Mansion, as for why they were not in Xianyang Palace, everything was to save time. Although Ying Zheng said in the edict that he was fine, it was impossible for such a big thing to happen without any problems.
Soon after the three of them arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yingwu followed suitably.
The two of them saluted, I didn't talk nonsense, I directly took out the edict and the tiger talisman, and handed it over to a few people to check the authenticity.
Several people were shocked when they saw the edict! How dare anyone do something rebellious?
Yingwu said angrily: "There are people who are trying to rebel, it's really hateful, if you find out who it is, the old man will definitely invite the emperor to raze his nine clans!" ”
Feng Quji was also shocked, he didn't expect that someone really rebelled.
Later, several people confirmed that the edict was correct, and the tiger talisman sent to the book was in line with the tiger in his hand, and there was no problem. Then he returned the edict and the tiger talisman to me, and I waved my hand: "You already know the arrangement of your father. Now I will hand over the edict to Zongzheng, half of the tiger talisman to the prime minister, and half of the tiger talisman is still in charge, and Xianyang will be guarded by the three of you, and I will immediately rush to Chengshan with the punishment. ”
Then he said solemnly: "The edict is secret, and you also know the stakes of this matter, so don't disclose the news." ”
Several of them are old ministers, so they naturally bow down and say yes.
Meng He had already prepared the carriage and guards waiting at the door, and without saying a word, I immediately set off for Chengshan with the execution.
The sky is no longer golden, and the scorching sun is still there, leaving behind a fiery red brilliance, as if it is about to burn this land to the ground, but I am afraid that it will be a difficult summer!
