Volume 2 Eight Thousand Miles of Clouds and Moons Chapter 94 Colorless Play
After King Qi, the general was also arrested by the Imperial Court Division, but there is still a difference between the two.
That day, Wei Shengzhao sent King Qi to prison in front of the ministers, so many palace maids and eunuchs of all sizes watched, these people couldn't control their mouths, and the speed of news spread was faster than King Qi's entry into the imperial court. The general was relatively secretly imprisoned, and the ministers of the court even thought that Mojun was still confined at home, not to mention the people in Tai'an City.
Therefore, the surface of Tai'an City is still the same as usual, everyone can do whatever they want, nothing major happens, and the topic after tea and dinner gradually fades out.
Xu Yun rushed back to the Imperial Court Division overnight, and did not withdraw the garrison of the Blood Banner Army, but left them in the small courtyard of the Mo family. First, in order to hide people's eyes, Xu Yun thought that this matter was very strange and did not want to be spread, so he wanted to try to fight for Mojun in front of His Majesty; second, in order to protect Li Mujun, the garrison stayed to take care of it.
And this time, Li Mujun was finally willing to listen to Xu Yun's words and stayed at home obediently, but she didn't forget to tearfully and pitifully begged Xu Yun to save her son.
Xu Yun is an honest man, and he doesn't know how to comfort people at this juncture, so he only said, "I will do my best, but the result is not guaranteed."
Wei Shengzhao has since called himself sick and lived in the health palace, which made the Yuwen clan even more unpopular and reckless, even the ministers who have always held a neutral attitude have been suppressed to varying degrees, but they dare not speak out, even Xun Wuya can't do anything about it, only in person, Yuwen is polite to him.
At this time, people finally remembered that there was only one prestigious old minister left in the court, Sikong Quan, and they began to visit the Taifu Mansion, hoping that he could come forward to uphold justice, but in exchange for his ambiguous attitude.
The ministers thought that they had snubbed Sikong Quan for so long, but this time their attitude was not sincere enough, so for a while, the outside of the Taifu Mansion, which had been snubbed in front of the door for a long time, suddenly gained some popularity. But Sikong Quan still has an attitude of self-preservation, and at first he was willing to receive a few people when he visited, but when there were too many people, he simply closed the door and did not see any guests, so that the Yuwen clan, who was watching them coldly in the dark, was a little relieved.
Health Palace, as the name suggests, is mainly taken from the word "health".
There is almost no palace maid who serves in the palace, the huge palace is placed in the pursuit of immortality, the carved fence murals, the incense is ethereal, such as falling into the clouds, the palace is quiet and leisurely, but there is a feeling of the heavenly fairy palace.
At this moment, Wei Shengzhao was lying quietly on the rocking chair with his eyes closed, his side was burning with moxibustion that calmed his soul, and the air was filled with a strong medicinal fragrance.
These days, Wei Shengzhao always feels restless and has a splitting headache, and that nightmare haunts him all the time, and the wolf in the dream with a green glow in his eyes seems to be still coveting something.
In addition, he remembered a lot of the past.
He remembered the surging feeling in his chest and the blazing look in his eyes when he saw the shining purple star of the first emperor; he remembered that he secretly competed with Wei Shengyou for the throne that year, competing with each other, but the two brothers were still harmonious, but in the end they became a little embarrassed for a woman; he also remembered what kind of young man he was when he first met Mojun that year......
Many, many, a small palace, a small Tai'an, what happened, what he experienced, but far more than he had heard of in the world.
It's all about the past.
Wei Shengzhao sighed, the world always says that people who sigh often will reduce their lifespan, and they must be approaching the limit.
"Why, that's the way it is?"
He muttered in a low voice, as if to himself or to ask a question. Then he suddenly laughed as if he remembered something, if Mo Jun was here, he would definitely tell him that there are not so many whys, everything is a matter of course, there must be a cause and an effect.
A thin and clear figure appeared outside the hall, and it looked a little lonely in this huge hall. She walked slowly towards Wei Shengzhao with slender steps.
"Is it Qiao'er?" Wei Shengzhao asked in a hoarse voice.
Weisheng Qiao looked at the fast-aging father in front of him in a daze, his heart was sour, and his eyes were red for a while. She bowed slightly and greeted respectfully: "Father, it's Qiao'er." ”
Wei Shengzhao showed a rare smile in his tired face, he opened his eyes and looked at his favorite daughter, stretched out a big hand and gently touched the hair next to her ear, his eyes were full of warmth: "Your heart is very uncomfortable." ”
Weisheng Qiao said empathetically: "Qiao Er knows that his father is even more uncomfortable. ”
When Wei Shengzhao heard this, he showed a wry smile, shook his head and sighed: "Yes, I didn't expect them to do such a thing. ”
"Father...... Emperor" Wei Sheng Qiao plucked up his courage and said seriously: "Qiao Er thinks that the general and Uncle Qi Wang are innocent, and this matter needs to be investigated!"
"Are you here to intercede for Mo Jun?" Wei Shengzhao looked weird, and seemed to laugh rather than smile.
Joel didn't dare. Wei Sheng Qiao didn't dare to face Wei Sheng Zhao's gaze, and quickly lowered his head, but there was no hint of concession in his tone: "But Qiao Er believes in the general's character." ”
"Hmm...... Let me think about it......" Wei Shengzhao was not angry or annoyed when he heard this, just nodded lightly, thought for a moment, and said: "You are the fourth one to intercede for him, first Yuantai, then Xu Yun, and Xun Shangshu don't know where the news came from, and even that guy dared to come to see me." ”
When he said the word "that guy", Wei Shengzhao suddenly laughed again, as if he was caught in some kind of remembrance, and muttered: "Back then, Mojun interceded for him, and now he also comes to intercede for Mojun, it's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity, it's ......a pity."
Wei Sheng Qiao blinked, not knowing what Wei Sheng Zhao was "sorry for", but she still guessed a few points about the person who came, so she asked softly: "Father, the person you are talking about is the eldest son of Master Taifu?"
"yes, Sikongwang. ”
Wei Sheng Qiao's eyes were confused and a little touched.
Sikong Wang was a slave in the palace until Mo Jun returned from the chaos, and during that time, the status of the Sikong clan plummeted.
Outside the Imperial Court, there was another uninvited guest.
What is different from the past is that the person on duty this time is Yu Wensu.
"Let me go in and meet the General. ”
Yu Wensu heard the person say this, his little finger plucked out his ears, his expression exaggeratedly looked left and right, and then shouted at the top of his voice: "Who was talking to this official just now?"
Sikong Wang's face was pale, but he still held back his anger and arched his hand: "Sikong Wang has seen Lord Yuwen. ”
"Hey, who should I be, isn't this Sikong Gongzi!" Yu Wensu pretended to be suddenly enlightened, looked Sikong Wang up and down, and smiled without a smile: "After a few years, Sikong Gongzi came to my Imperial Court, but do you want to go in again and miss the taste of torture instruments?"
As soon as the words fell, the surrounding soldiers burst into laughter.
Sikong Wang clenched his fists, resisted the urge to blow up the unbeaten face in front of him with a punch, and squeezed out a flattering smile: "I hope Lord Yuwen will be convenient." ”
"Is there a decree from Your Majesty?" Yu Wensu snorted disdainfully.
Sikong Wang shook his head, Wei Shengzhao was reluctant to meet him.
"Ridiculous!" Yu Wensu's face was full of sarcasm: "Mo Jun is a death row prisoner, how can you just see it?" What's more, I really don't remember what friendship this official has with your Sikong family, where did you come from, go back, I annoyed this official, and I will arrest you together!"
Sikong Wang glared angrily, so frightened that Yu Wensu couldn't help but take two steps back, he knew Sikong Wang's ability, the two were so close, if he really wanted to do it, he might really be unloaded with an arm.
If you really plan to count the new and old grudges together, it is not surprising that you will exchange one with him, but he Yuwensu is now the time to spare his life, and the gold is very tight.
"Why are you going to do it too, be careful that you won't be able to recover even with Master Taifu!" Yu Wensu threatened.
Sikong Wang glanced at him hatefully, spat at Yu Wensu's face, and then turned to leave.
"You're fucking!" Yuwen jumped to his feet solemnly, couldn't help but say a dirty word, wanted to make trouble, and endured it again, just staring at Sikong Wang's departing back with a fierce look in his eyes.
"You wait!"
The trip to the palace and the imperial court was fruitless, so Sikong Wang hurried to Mingyue Tower.
That day, since he saw that Yu Wenhong and Mei Sanniang seemed to be plotting and discussing something, Sikong Wang had already noticed that something was wrong, but he also knew that Oiran had feelings for the general, and a clear-eyed person saw it in his eyes. Out of this consideration, Sikong Wang did not expose her, but only warned her in her personal name and warned Mei Sanniang not to do anything harmful to Mojun.
However, Mo Jun was still imprisoned, and Sikong Wang knew that this matter must have nothing to do with Yuwen and Mei Sanniang, so he urgently needed to persuade Mei Sanniang to fight for a chance to bring down Yuwen, so that he could impress the emperor and save Mo Jun.
It's just that Sikong Wang ignored one point.
Yu Wenhong has been staying in Mingyue Tower since Mo Jun was imprisoned, nominally drinking and having fun with Yan Xunhua, but in fact to personally monitor Mei Sanniang.
Su Zhan once told him that Sikong Wang had secretly contacted Mei Sanniang in private, so Yu Wenhong kept an eye on it and guessed that this person would definitely make some fame.
Sure enough, as soon as Sikong Wang stepped into the Mingyue Tower, he had eyeliner and hurriedly reported to Yu Wenhong, Yu Wenhong gathered his mind, looked at Yan Xunhua on the side, and asked with a smile: "You people in the rivers and lakes, what do you value the most?"
Yan Xunhua didn't think about it, so she replied: "That is naturally the word love." ”
"And what are you after?"
Yan Xunhua thought for a moment and replied, "It should be the extreme of martial arts." ”
Yu Wenhong shook the folding fan lightly, and asked, "What is the extreme of martial arts?"
"Naturally, it's Tai Chi!" Yan Xunhua blurted out, and then her expression darkened: "It's a pity that Tai Chi no longer exists......
Yu Wenhong said generously: "Then invite Yan Gongzi to watch a martial arts play, Yan Gongzi should write it down!"
"What?"
Yu Wenhong laughed, raised a glass of wine and drank it all, his eyes flashing with an inexplicable pleasure. In his opinion, between civil and military, literature is strategy, and martial arts are the means to achieve this strategy, and there is a division of priority and subordination, just like a play.
In the play, one person kills one person, and the one who plots outside the play is one family from generation to generation.
He looked at Yan Xunhua and said word by word: "Colorless play." ”
