Chapter 5: Killing the King

Just when Shao Xun was inspecting Guangchengze, on the bank of the Qili River in March, an amusement event was being held.

Shao Shen, as the nephew of Shao Xun, a student and a material general, quietly infiltrated the venue.

I've been in Taixue for two years, and I've been to listen to lectures a few times, but to be honest - I don't understand.

After two years, he only remembered one sentence: "Abandon wisdom and take refuge in nature." ”

When I asked my uncle what this meant, he only replied with the phrase "liberate nature" and did not say anything more.

Shao Shen couldn't figure it out, and in the end he could only say "what is the class" and didn't go to school anymore.

Instead of wasting time like that, it is better to ride horses and shoot arrows and sprint outside Shao Garden. Anyway, his uncle didn't have high cultural requirements for him: he just needed to write average articles.

The amusement venue was very lively, some people were playing Go, some were playing Liubo, some were playing chess, some were drinking, some were singing, and some were archery......

Shao Shen was dazzled for a while, and he almost couldn't walk.

"Here." Someone next to him called softly.

Shao Shen turned his head suddenly, it turned out to be Pei Sixteen.

"Come with me." Pei Sixteen said in a low voice.

After speaking, leading the way, Shao Shen came to his senses and followed silently.

The two of them walked one after the other, and soon came to the bank of the Qili River.

There are a lot of ladies gathered here, laughing and chatting.

Since the Wei and Jin dynasties, they have been extremely contemptuous of etiquette, not only men are profligate, but women also often show their heads, and even mingle with men to play Go and play Liubo.

The dozen or so scholars in front of them were just drinking tea and listening to the piano, but they were relatively elegant and reserved.

Shao Shen didn't dare to look more, but his ears kept sticking up.

"Does the little sister of the Yu family really want to marry Shao Caiguan?" Someone asked in a surprised tone.

"It's a pity that the Shaw Brothers don't have a family, and they are not handsome enough, so they are not very suitable." Someone else said.

Well? Shao Shen involuntarily raised his head and quietly glanced around, but when he saw the eyes full of warblers and warblers, he didn't know which one was "Wenjun".

He subconsciously thought it was the youngest.

Nothing to do, just feelings. Most of the women here, how to say it, are similar to the Le family he saw in Liang County a few days ago, only the little girl seems to have never been married.

As far as the dynasty is concerned, it is generally married at the age of thirteen, basically married at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and then married at the age of sixteen, and the court will be forced to marry at the age of seventeen.

If you want to find a woman who has never been married to serve by your side, most of the time you can only find someone who is fourteen or fifteen years old (13-14 years old).

"Shao Xun is a famous general in Yuefu, and he may need the princess to be a matchmaker in the future."

"That's a good story."

Stupid woman! Shao Shen snorted coldly in his heart, he can only look at the surface and understand a fart!

Mixing with these women will sooner or later be bad. If you have that time, it is better to go home and practice the art of swords and spears.

He quickly lowered his head, followed behind Pei Sixteen, and came to Concubine Pei.

Concubine Pei sat on the Hu bed, her face was not very good-looking.

There was another person beside her, 19-year-old Liang Lanbi.

As the younger concubine, the Liang family has a noble status, and she is like the second person under Concubine Pei. Sometimes smiling and talking to people, the voice is like a warbler's cry, very beautiful, and with a light-colored long skirt, it is like an elegant swan, which is extravagant.

After seeing Pei Sixteen, Concubine Pei confessed, got up and came to the back, avoiding everyone.

Shao Shen, who was dressed as a small servant, immediately stepped forward to salute and handed over a letter.

Concubine Pei said a few polite words kindly, then took the letter, checked the seal, put it away, and did not open it on the spot.

Shao Shen waited for a while, and when he saw that Concubine Pei had nothing to say, he said goodbye and left.

When leaving, I secretly wondered in my heart, but the princess was down-to-earth and generous, beautiful and noble, if she could remarry, she would be her uncle and mother, wouldn't she be better than Yu Wenjun? That's still a kid.

Concubine Pei stood on the riverbank for a long time.

At this meeting three years ago, the emperor's younger brother Sima Ying galloped on his horse and almost hit her.

When it was, my heart was about to jump out of my chest. At the critical moment, Shao Xun stood in front of her, facing the invincible Sima Ying, and came out with a horizontal sword, as if he was going to kill the powerful imperial brother in the next moment.

Women are sensual and sometimes irrational. This is especially true for a resentful woman who has been alone for many years.

Before that, no one was willing to do this for her.

Concubine Pei sighed softly.

The Qili River flows silently, as if it entrusts the infinite resentment of a woman.

After cleaning up her mood, she returned to the Hu bed, and the chirping in her ears came again.

"It's a pity that Lan Ji is not here, the wind and the sun are beautiful, if you can stroke the piano, alas."

"Lan Ji met with misfortune and heard that she was taken captive by Shao Xun to Liang County."

Leaving the prosperous Luoyang, going to the poor countryside, facing the rude and incomprehensible military leaders all day long, I am afraid that it will not be long before I hear the news of Lan Jixiang's death.

Concubine Pei's mood became more and more bad.

Liang Lanbi smiled at the corner of her mouth and listened silently.

She had a relationship with Shao Xun four years ago, when she was with the little sister of the Yu family.

Shao Caiguan's appearance is indeed not handsome, his face is exposed to the sun and rain, and he has a bronze appearance, which is not as white as a scholar at all.

But there is still a bit of a way to speak, and it is not completely vulgar and unliterate. In particular, the views on the general trend of the world are basically right, and they are more vicious than the eyes of many scholars.

I am brave and good at fighting, and I am very famous in the forbidden army, if I can win over and serve my husband, it is a good knife against Sima Yue - his background, he can only be a knife.

Just as she was about to say something, a servant girl suddenly came up and whispered a few words in her ear.

Liang Lanbi's face changed suddenly, and she hurriedly got up.

Everyone looked at her in amazement.

Liang Lanbi didn't explain, and after confessing, he left in a hurry.

Concubine Pei glanced at her, her brows furrowed, and she already had a guess in her heart.

******

The queen sheep fell to the ground weakly, her eyes full of fear.

She wanted to get up, but she couldn't help but tremble, and she couldn't stop it.

The palace people hurriedly helped her up.

Sima Zhen, the Son of Heaven, spat out a mouthful of blood and lay weakly on the imperial case.

There was a note scattered on the desk, two or three cakes.

What is written on the song is the good news that Chen Min was given the head and the Jiangdong rebellion was put down.

The cake was stained red with blood, and it was extremely dazzling.

Everyone panicked and didn't know what to do.

The Son of Heaven said "uh-uh" a few times, but he couldn't speak, and finally spit out a mouthful of blood, and there was no sound again.

There are already palace people crying.

Yang Xianrong silently shed tears, and his body trembled again.

The general of the palace, Chen Yi, quickly learned the news, hurriedly entered, and was at a loss when he saw the situation of the Son of Heaven.

Whoever encounters such a thing as killing a monarch will be stunned.

However, he quickly reacted, hurried out of the palace, convened the military academy, and ordered the palace to be blocked, and only allowed to enter but not leave.

He knew in his heart that it would be futile.

The murderer who committed the murder of the monarch is afraid that he will have fled a long time ago. Not to mention, what if you catch it? He doesn't necessarily know who asked him to do what he did and who he was aiming for.

Chen Yi didn't want to meddle in this matter, let alone dare to interfere.

Taifu's power is too great......

In recent months, he has received the full assistance of Wang Yan and appointed him as the military secretary, and the major affairs of the court and government have been decided almost in a word.

It's not that no one is dissatisfied with Taifu, in fact, there are, and there are many. But no one organized them, and they did not know under whose banner they were united.

The imperial brother may be a candidate, but he is not the Son of Heaven after all, and the time for being established as the imperial prince is also short, and the momentum is sluggish for a while, far inferior to the generation of Taifu and Wang Yan.

In just a few months, Sima Hao was killed, Zhou Mu was killed, Zhuge Mei was killed, Zhou Fu was kicked to Shouchun, Shao Xun was driven to Liang County, and the whole of Luoyang was under the obscenity of Taifu.

Chen Yi is not the kind of person who sacrifices his life for righteousness.

The Son of Heaven treats him well, he does not bend the ministers, and tries his best to repay the Son of Heaven.

Avenge the Son of Heaven? I'm sorry, he can't.

But, alas! Under the nest, Ann has finished eggs? The bad effects of the death of the Son of Heaven, he understood it after a little thought.

Luoyang is all supported by the states of the world.

Although Jinshang is pure, he is the crown prince designated by the first emperor, and the legitimacy is unquestionable, and everyone recognizes it.

The emperor's younger brother is far behind.

If he ascends the throne, what will the uncles of the states of the world think? In a short period of time, out of inertia, he may continue to send money, grain, and taxes into Beijing, but after a long time, will he not be impressed with the new monarch?

This-maybe it depends on the ability of the imperial brother.

Judging from the limited contact, Chen Yi feels that he is not optimistic. The emperor's younger brother is completely the puppet of the Taifu, and his attitude is very respectful and even close to flattery, counting on him to revive the dynasty and fight with the Taifu, is it possible?

A man hurried out of the hall.

Chen Yi glanced at it, it was Queen Yang's cronies. He thought about it and decided to go to Duanmen in person, so he should do the last thing for the Son of Heaven and the Queen.

Not long after Chen Yi left, the imperial brother Sima Chi, accompanied by Wang Yan, He Sui, Gao Tangchong and others, hurriedly entered the palace and went straight to the Taiji Palace.

The Son of Heaven was poisoned and died, whoever killed him could put it aside first. The most important thing now is to give the name first, so that you can move on to the next step. Even, as long as the exchange of interests is in place, the matter of tracking down the murderer can be reduced to a small matter, and a small matter can be turned into a small thing - as if it never happened.

In this world, this is the way it is, no one is right or wrong, everything is profit.

The Son of Heaven has not completely lost his breath, and the new throne has already begun to be contested.
