Chapter 177: The Feast of Bliss
Yang Zhao's final performance and words were like a mountain, pressing on Wang Yi's heart. That depressing breath always remained in Wang Yi's mind and could not be dispersed for a long time.
The paleness on his face is the best proof, Wang Yi didn't really know until this moment that a grandmaster like Yang Zhao wanted to kill himself, it was just a matter of waving his hand, it couldn't be simpler.
Wang Yi stood on the jade road at the gate, under the dark shadow, he stared at the back of Yang Zhao leaving, where there was a piece of light.
Although it is night, but under the illumination of the night pearl, the side of Dexin Hall is like day.
He knew that Yang Zhao didn't dare to kill people in the Dexin Palace, especially tonight, on this important occasion, Yang Zhao didn't dare to do anything to himself. Because in this way, it is tantamount to provoking the royal majesty.
"What is Lord Yang doing? People who want to touch my Jinyi Guard, when I am Lu Zhong is a vegetarian. ”
Ahead, Lu Zhong hadn't gone too far before he was stopped by Lu Zhong who didn't know where to appear.
Lu Zhong's moaning was very stiff and indifferent, as if telling Yang Zhao, Wang Yi, you can't move.
Yang Zhao looked at Lu Zhong quietly, and then said: "Lord Lu, I haven't seen you for a long time, what you just said is just a joke, why take it seriously." ”
Ma Shun snorted at Yang Zhao viciously, and Li Yuan crossed his arms, intending to watch the excitement, in Chang'an City, he had not seen Lu Zhong make a move. Wang Yi didn't have anything to do with this, but the moment Lu Zhong appeared, the terrifying aura that Yang Zhao pressed on Wang Yi disappeared, and his qi and blood returned to calm.
"Lord Yang Yaxing is not small, he is generally knowledgeable with a junior, and at such an old age, he has lived to the belly of a dog?"
Yang Zhao doesn't want to have a head-on conflict with Jinyiwei's group now, after all, Jinyiwei's group of people is really angry, and he, Yang Zhao, also has a headache, not to mention, Jinyiwei is now in the middle of the court, and he is only targeting Wang Yi.
Faced with words that bordered on insults, Yang Zhao just smiled and said, "Lord Lu should study hard and raise his own quality." ”
Lu Zhong sneered, then crossed Yang Zhao, looked at Wang Yi not far away, and asked softly, "Are you injured?"
Wang Yi was a little grateful in his heart, Lu Zhong's fuss like this can be regarded as showing Jinyiwei's attitude towards Wang Yi, so that those people who are hiding in the shadows do not dare to attack Wang Yi easily.
Don't look at the calm now, the hundred officials present don't know how many people may want him to die after knowing that Wang Yi is the "remnant" of the Youzhou case, Lu Zhong did this, which is equivalent to giving Wang Yi a life talisman.
Wang Yi shook his head, and after his blood and qi returned to calm, "It's okay, thank you Lord Lu." ”
Lu Zhong nodded, put his hands behind his back, and looked at Yang Zhao, full of warning. Yang Zhao chuckled lightly and left.
Wang Yi walked back to the position just now, and Ma Shun and Li Yuan around him stepped forward one after another and helped Wang Yi sit down. Wang Yi sat on the chair and exhaled the stuffy breath in his chest.
"Li Yuan, do you know Yang Zhao's specific cultivation?"
Li Yuan pulled over a chair and put it under him, "I don't know specifically, the number of times that Lao Wang Ba has shot is only a handful, I haven't seen it, my father may have seen it." ”
Ma Shun guessed: "There may be Xingjun?"
Li Yuan shook his head, "Not only that, Xingjun also has to go up, Yang Zhao is in Daming."
In the past few years, how many elixirs and cheats have been mastered, there must have been more than Xingjun. ”
Wang Yi seemed to know what Li Yuan was going to say, and said directly: "Do you suspect that he is a saint?"
Li Yuan nodded, "Yang Zhao is not a saint and must be infinitely close to a saint, otherwise how could he avoid those assassinations, I really think that no one in the rivers and lakes will pay a high price to kill him, but it is just a failure." ”
Wang Yi bit his lip, blood slowly oozed from his lips, Wang Yi thought that revenge was easy, as long as he found the person behind the scenes, and then begged Emperor Ming to order a thorough investigation of the Youzhou case, but from the last time the Marquis of Taihe Palace, to today's words of Yang Zhao, Wang Yi knew that he was thinking too simply.
He is not afraid of death, but he is not worth it for fear of death, he came to Chang'an City for revenge, not to survive here.
Now it seems that the only way to think about it is to take a long view.
Wang Yi also met a lot of acquaintances here, Liu Qingling, Liu Ruyue, Yao Xian and so on.
But the only regret is that Wang Yi didn't see the queen mother who loved Li Yuan, and he didn't know if he didn't come, or if he missed it.
The night was dark, but the Dexin Hall was as bright as day, and Yang Zhao strode forward, smiling and greeting his colleagues during the period. Led by an attendant, Yang Zhao slowly sat down.
After a while, the sound of ritual music sounded, the curtain caressed, and the Ming Emperor held the concubine Niangniang, surrounded by more than ten attendants, and slowly walked into the Dexin Palace.
The status of the officials present were all shocked, His Majesty really took the concubine Niangniang to participate in this birthday, they got up one after another, knelt on the ground, "Welcome to the emperor, concubine Niangniang." ”
Emperor Ming led the concubine Niangniang to a rich and gorgeous chair, and then sat down together, the dragon clothes drooped slightly, and motioned for everyone to get up, "Everyone, flat." ”
The officials got up, and then sat down, and after the Ming Emperor inspected for a week, he said to Gao Lishi beside him: "You can start." ”
Gao Lishi bent down and nodded, answered softly, and then took a few steps forward, shouting: "Ladies and gentlemen, Your Majesty has a will, and your birthday begins!"
Wang Yi did not enter the Dexin Palace, originally with his identity, he could have a place in the Dexin Palace, but because someone needs to guard it outside, Lu Zhong, as the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guard, needs to find the officials he knows in the Dexin Hall and contact the feelings, so there must be someone else to guard the Jinyi Guard.
And Li Yuan, as the son of King Yan, His Majesty's cousin, and the Queen Mother's favorite nephew, should sit by the Queen Mother's side and accompany the Queen Mother at this time.
Only Wang Yi and Ma Shun were left here, as well as Zhou Liyuan, because the birthday of the Ming Emperor had begun, at this time at the gate of the Yuhua Palace, no one had passed through here, but the Jinyi Guards could not relax at any time, even if there was no one, they had to guard here, this was their duty, and the Imperial Forest Army was guarding at every intersection to ensure that no one would make trouble, and they could also carry out those drunk officials and send them to their carriages and send them home.
The night breeze blew, and there were bursts of singing and dancing in the Dexin Palace, although Wang Yi had just experienced Yang Zhao's affairs, but Wang Yi was not affected, but found the waiter, brought a lot of food and wine, and rewarded the brothers of the Jinyi Guard, which is also considered a benefit that Wang Yi did not seek because of the brothers, after all, according to the character of the Jinyi Guard, after the end of the birthday, he may directly empty the imperial dining room, but yesterday Lu
Zhong explained to Wang Yi in advance, and when Lu Zhong was away, he helped Lu Zhong and looked at Jinyiwei's people. In this way, Wang Yi couldn't allow them to take away a lot of things, so he had to go out in person, relying on Li Yuan's identity, with Zhou Liyuan, Ma Shun and others, and a few people from Jinyiwei, after moving the food and wine here, to start their dinner.
looked at the roast chicken on the table, ripped off a chicken leg, bit it in his mouth, pointed to Dexin Palace, and said, "Old Zhou, tell me what kind of scene is here?"
Zhou Liyuan picked up a pot of wine on the table, and the stove in front of him was blazing, slightly blowing away some of the winter chill.
"It's nothing more than some flattering words, boring and boring. ”
Ma Shun smiled, "Yo, I can't see that Lao Zhou has a deep opinion of these adults above the court." ”
Zhou Liyuan raised his wine glass, drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp, and glanced at the busy eunuchs and palace maids, "It's not quite deep, it's just that I went to Qingzhou this time and saw something." ”
Wang Yi was a little puzzled and asked, "Something, what?"
Zhou Liyuan said: "In recent years, Qingzhou has had little rain and more drought, all the crops in the fields have died of drought, and the people have been miserable. ”
Wang Yi was a little shocked, put down the chicken leg in his hand, raised his head, looked at Zhou Liyuan carefully, and found that he didn't seem to be lying, "Old Zhou, what you said is true?"
Zhou Liyuan nodded, gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, it's true."
Ma Shun on the side slapped the table directly and shouted: "It's really a group of animals, no matter how you say it, you can't do this,"
The welfare worker smiled bitterly, raised the wine glass in his hand, and drank the wine in one gulp, "Although this is not right, it is also helpless." Without food to eat, they will all starve to death. ”
Wang Yi sighed lightly, "Although there were many such things happening in the Spring and Autumn Period and in the major battles, it was the time of the war, and now it is a peaceful and prosperous era, how can such a thing happen?"
Zhou Liyuan said: "The lords above the court, all the adults in the court, all day long only think about how to increase the rank of official and knight, how can they care about the life and death of ordinary people? If it weren't for Zhang Juzheng pressing them here, they could maintain the illusion of prosperity on the surface of the Daimyo, God knows what the Ming Dynasty would become."
Ma Shun kicked Zhou Liyuan, "Old Zhou is vain discussing the government, but it is a capital crime." ”
Zhou Liyuan smiled, "Old Ma, do you think my Old Zhou cares about this?"
You leaned back in your chair, looked at Shen Ma Shun, and persuaded: "Brother Ma... ”
Before the words were spoken, there was a chaotic sound from inside the Dexin Palace, and before Wang Yi could react, two royal forest soldiers walked out of the Dexin Hall and walked out of the gate of the Yuhua Palace. After that, a large number of Imperial Forest troops began to enter the Dexin Hall and blockade the Dexin Palace.
Lu Zhong also walked out of it and came to the location of the Jinyi Guard, Lu Zhong's face was gloomy, his expression was serious, he looked at the Jinyi Guard present, and said softly: "Everyone, don't let go of everyone present if anything happens next, we must cooperate with the Royal Forest Army to blockade the Dexin Palace, we can't let anyone go, when Your Majesty decrees that we can open the door and release people." ”
Wang Yi looked at Lu Zhong's serious expression, he knew that something big had happened in the Dexin Palace, and it was very likely to shake the foundation of the Ming Dynasty.
