Chapter Seventy-Two: The Moon is the Hometown of Ming (II)
The moon is the hometown of Ming (below)
Chai Xintong returned to Chang'an from outside the city, at this time the city gate of Chang'an was slowly closing, and he hurriedly entered the city in the scolding of the soldiers guarding the city.
The gate closed slowly, the bridge over the moat was also hoisted, and there was a creaking sound that seemed to be overwhelmed, Chai Xintong turned his head suddenly, only to see that the crack in the door was getting smaller and smaller, and a door seemed to isolate Chang'an from the outside.
What is outside the city is misery, and what is in the city is prosperity.
There was a sound of beating people in his ears, and at this time, Pingkangfang was about to turn from extremely lively to deserted, he thought about it, and decided to visit the Jin Wangfu directly tonight, if it went well, he could be interrogated early tomorrow morning.
The hot summer turned cold, thinking of the old man just now, he also felt a little cold on his body, and tightened his clothes.
He did not return to Chongrenfang, but walked towards Buzheng Fang.
The Jin Wangfu was in the depths of the Buzheng Fang, he thought about it and went around to the former Zhongyi Mansion.
The vermilion gate, there is a big plaque on the door, when the Shizifu was changed to the Hou Mansion, this plaque was still built by Xue Pan, and there were four gilded characters of "Zhongyi Houfu" on it. But now, Chai Xintong is standing here, and the word loyalty and righteousness are still the same, but they have become a little dazzling.
He sometimes would rather Xu Changan be a heartless person than have this feeling of indebtedness to others.
This mansion has been emptied, but no Holy Emperor has spoken, and no one dares to fight its idea, it just stands here quietly, and every time Chai Xintong looks at it more, his heart hurts a little more.
He sighed and walked towards the Jin Palace.
What surprised him a little was that the housekeeper of the Jin Palace, who came to open the door in person, sat down at him with a "shhhh
There were no lanterns, and the old butler led Chai Xintong with ease, as if they had known that he was coming.
The old butler led him under the grape trellis, and when he looked up, he could see several bunches of purple grapes hanging overhead.
Chang'an is not suitable for growing grapes, but some dignitaries like to enjoy the shade under the grape trellis.
The old butler didn't speak, but pointed to the stone table and the stone bench, and Chai Xintong understood, so he sat down.
The old housekeeper turned around and left, leaving Chai Xintong sitting here alone, there seemed to be someone drinking not far away, and he could hear them talking, Chai Xintong didn't want to listen, after all, he knew the truth of not listening to indecent things since he was a child.
At this moment, the old butler appeared beside Chai Xintong like a ghost, still holding a tray with a pot of tea and a few cups on the plate.
The old butler pointed in the direction obscured by the grape trellises, where a voice was being heard.
Chai Xintong understood, this was intentional by King Jin, probably because he wanted him to hear something.
He nodded to the old butler, poured himself a cup of tea, and sat down quietly.
The old butler turned away and stood not far from the grape trellis, which could be seen as long as Chai Xintong waved his hand.
Although the hot summer has basically passed, the crickets are still crying happily.
Chai Xintong meditated concentratingly, no matter what indecent reasoning should not be heard, he wanted to see what the king of Jin was going to do?
......
The wind is cold, the moon is cold, and King Jin's heart is also a little cold.
He naturally knew the inside story of the matter, and he also knew that the master had let go of the two young men, and the Holy Emperor had no opinion on this, after all, the master had beheaded one of the Open Heaven Realm, and the other was seriously injured.
Taking 10,000 steps back, his Xuanyuan family also has the pride of the Xuanyuan family, and it is the descendants of his Xuanyuan family who lure the wolf into the room, so this wolf naturally wants to be removed by the descendants of the Xuanyuan family. Therefore, he also had a faint expectation in his heart, hoping that one day his eldest son would raise his head and throw the heads of those two demons in front of him.
King Jin couldn't believe that his nephew would do such a thing.
According to the news he got from his brother-in-law, the monk Shu Ling Guo Jinghui, this nephew colluded with two demons, framed Chai Xintong, killed several eunuchs in the palace, and colluded with Fan Yuzhi to exchange for the marriage with the Fan family and the influence of the court. And when the Holy Emperor went out of the city, it was also under the calculation of the two demons that he asked him to kill his younger brother to ensure that he could get the status of the prince. If the Holy Emperor can't come back, then he can be the emperor directly, if the Holy Emperor comes back, he is seriously injured, and he has no choice among his many sons, and he is ready to force the palace.
colluded with outsiders, killed a few little eunuchs, and framed Chai Xintong. The two crimes of attempting to kill his brother and killing his father alone are enough for him to lose his head dozens of times and leave a stench for 10,000 years.
But since Hui'an left, Chi'er is the only bloodline of her sister and brother-in-law.
Not only did the Holy Emperor want to protect him, but his uncle also wanted to do his part.
King Jin looked at the bearded and decadent prince in front of him and sighed.
Under the moonlight, there was a table of dishes on the stone table, as well as wine.
Xuanyuan Chi lowered his head, King Jin didn't speak, he helped his nephew fill the wine, Xuanyuan Chi didn't speak, King Jin glanced at him, picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
King Jin picked up the chopsticks several times, but several times he glanced at his nephew and put the chopsticks down again.
The great prince who once shocked the south, ordered tens of thousands of Tiefutu, and the famous young general, at this time, he was like an ordinary child who made a mistake. When he encountered something, he didn't say anything, which broke the hearts of the elders.
King Jin couldn't stand it anymore and put his chopsticks down.
"Xuanyuan Chi, aren't you going to say something!"
The eldest prince raised his head, his eyes red.
On weekdays, he only thinks about calculating the enemy, how to make greater contributions, and even calculating his brother for the sake of power, even his father. But in the end, something happened, and the person who helped him with his advice ran away, leaving hidden dangers in his body, and his calculating people spared no effort to help themselves.
"I'm sorry!" the eldest prince's mouth was pale and his voice was soft.
When King Jin heard this, he slapped the stone table heavily, and a crack suddenly appeared on the stone table, and the dishes on the table also shook.
"I'm sorry, that's it?" King Jin said, pointing at him.
"Xu Changan is dead, the person you have always looked down on him, the person you have always wanted his true dragon bloodline, for your father, for the sake of several grandmasters, died!"
"You just say I'm sorry, forget it?"
The eldest prince had long known the news of Xu Chang'an's death, and he didn't understand why those two suddenly targeted Xu Changan.
He held his head and whimpered, "I'd rather die than I'm the one who would die!"
When King Jin heard him say this, his face softened slightly, and he was a little distressed when he looked at his nephew.
"There are some things that you have to say so that we can determine how we can help you. β
"You don't want your brother to kneel for a day, and you don't want your father's concessions to end up being fruitless, do you? They made sacrifices for you, I want to know about you, what you think. β
The eldest prince glanced at his uncle, picked up the wine glass and poured it down before saying, "These two people, I saw them when I was in the south, and they seemed to see the flaws in my cultivation of the Dragon Emperor Gong, so they gave me a drop of divine beast blood. β
"After that, when the battle of Yuezhou City ended, they took the Nine Dragon Talisman, but they waited for me and gave me the Nine Dragon Talisman. β
King Jin sighed, these two people are doing this, I'm afraid it's themselves, and they may not be able to refuse.
They grasped the death hole of the eldest prince, first, the stagnation of cultivation, and the second is the mentality of quick success, grasping their nephew very hard and analyzing it thoroughly.
He did not interrupt the words of the eldest prince.
"Later, they came to Chang'an, because Fan Yuzhi you also know that although the former dynasty surrendered to the generals, but now the generals of my holy dynasty guarding the east and west can be regarded as his protΓ©gΓ©s, as well as the dragon guard, although he is now in the air, but if he really says something, there are still many people in the dragon guard who will be towards him in their hearts. β
"So, I agreed, to help him master the Iron Float, and he married me to bring the two generals over. If this is the case, a group of speech officials who support the tenth brother will not be able to turn the storm over. β
When King Jin heard this, he stretched out his hand to interrupt him.
"I know some later, you tell me, why did you frame Chai Xintong. β
The eldest prince bowed his head.
"He and Miss Fan are in love, and I'm afraid that there will be a mistake on the wedding day. β
King Jin exhaled heavily.
"Your private guard did it?" the eldest prince understood that the "private guard" his uncle was referring to was the killer organization under his command.
He nodded.
King Jin looked at him and shook his head and said, "Your hands and feet are clean, and the Criminal Department doesn't know how many people have been quietly sent to investigate, but no clues have been found." β
The eldest prince looked up at the moon and finally lowered his head.
King Jin drank his wine and glanced in the direction of the grape trellis.
Chai Xintong understood King Jin's intentions at this time, and he was a little more grateful in his heart.
If he was asked to ask, he was afraid that the eldest prince would not tell him this, but these things were what he wanted to know the most, especially the identities and whereabouts of the two brothers.
Sure enough, King Jin seemed to know his thoughts, so he asked directly, "Do you know where they came from?"
The eldest prince shook his head.
"They seem to appear out of thin air, the two are called Zhan Nan and Zhan Xu respectively, during the battle of Yuezhou City, they unified the five southern departments to help Yuezhou, and also invited Liu Chenglang to sit in the town, otherwise with the soldiers of Yuezhou, how could they stop Jiang Ming. β
The eldest prince thought for a moment, and then added: "Their identities in Chang'an are called Liu Nan and Liu Xu. β
Chai Xintong silently wrote down these two names.
King Jin knew that he was almost done, so he said to his nephew, "Let's eat something." β
The eldest prince lifted the bowl and ate silently with his head down.
King Jin looked at him, and sighed faintly and said: "After your mother fell asleep, your brother-in-law didn't care much about you, if your sister was here, you would have been married and lived a prosperous life honestly, where would there be these things." β
When the eldest prince heard this, he suddenly paused.
"I want to leave Chang'an. β
He said suddenly, at this moment, he had a picture of his childhood.
While helping his father run around, his mother also had to take care of the two siblings, and every time his father came back from a victory, his sister would ride on his father's neck to play the princess, and his father would play the horse, and he would play the role of the princess's guard.
My mother would smile and shake her head whenever she saw this.
"Hui'an, don't mess around, let your father's subordinates see him like this, how will he lead the troops in the future?"
When my sister was about to come down, her father would hold her feet and prevent her from going down.
"Don't listen to your mother, let's continue. β
At that time, although his status was not as noble as it is now, he was really happy and happy.
Later, my sister became a real princess, but my mother fell asleep, and he disappeared, and my father gradually ignored him.
King Jin was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "This is your home, where do you want to go?"
The eldest prince bowed his head.
"Go to my mother's and father's hometown. β
When King Jin heard this, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, indeed, that was their home.
He, his sister, and his brother-in-law all came out of there, but he has been a prince for more than ten years, but he hasn't gone back to take a look.
Although his title is named after his hometown.
He didn't say a word, watching the eldest prince take a few bites of food, his eyes were full of love.
"Early tomorrow morning, I will send you back to Dali Temple. β
The eldest prince nodded, put down the bowl, and left.
King Jin looked at the grape trellis and said, "Mr. Chai, come out!"
Chai Xintong walked out when he heard this, and he bowed to King Jin.
"Thank you. β
He knew that if King Jin didn't help him ask, he was afraid that he wouldn't know many things.
"It's us who should say thank you, after all, he is our family, he has made a big mistake, and we all hope to give him one more chance. β
Chai Xintong knew that the Holy Emperor had already reminded him of how to judge and how to judge, and he also knew the information he wanted.
This time he can't let the eldest prince get the punishment he deserves, and he has no choice, even the Confucius Temple is already silent, and he will turn a blind eye, not to mention him now.
But he believed that since he had stepped into the quagmire, the dragon in the quagmire or the fish in the quagmire. One day, he will crush it to avenge his brother!
Chai Xintong's face was expressionless, and he nodded before retiring.
When Chai Xintong left, King Jin looked up at the cold moon and remembered the words of the eldest prince.
It was also his hometown and his fiefdom, but he hadn't been back for more than ten years.
He muttered to himself, "Jinju, I want to go back and see it too!"
