Volume 5 [Blood Moon Demon Sorrow] 384: Guangning kills his brother and flatters
It's no wonder ?ββ ferry, 'somepeople' have been looking for so long and haven't found it, you've done a great job. Since those 100,000 soldiers are in your hands, then the Suining Admiral next to you is of no use?" Condensing Xiang's words gave Admiral Guangning a great hint.
Admiral Guangning thought to himself: "Since the prime minister said that Admiral Suining is 'useless', he is obviously hinting to me and asking me to put the responsibility for swallowing troops on Admiral Suining." Thinking of this, he took advantage of the unpreparedness of the people, quickly snatched the long soldier from the halberd beside him, stepped forward with a spear, and nailed Hu Guangcai, the governor of Suining, to the red lacquered pillar.
Hu Guangcai didn't have time to react, let alone accept such a fact. With hatred in his eyes, he glared at Admiral Quang Ninh: "Why do you ββ ......?"
Admiral Suining whispered in his ear: "Lord Hu, brother, I don't want to do this either." Man dies for money, and birds die for food. If I don't kill you, I won't be able to explain this matter to the people of the world. I will take care of your son for you, I hope you don't hold a grudge against me!" After speaking, he violently pushed Hu Guangcai down, and the bloody spear was pulled out of his abdomen. The moment the blood was low, the Prime Minister's Mansion was suddenly filled with a taste of blood.
Admiral Suining threw away his spear, knelt down in front of Condensing Incense, and flattered: "Your Excellency, Suining mentioned Hu Guangcai, and the governor refused to surrender the military talismans, ignoring the danger of the imperial court. The minister has already corrected the law on the spot, and he also asked the prime minister to learn from it!"
Condensing Xiang smiled and said: "Hahaha, okay! Between the loyalty and courage of Master Shi, tomorrow I will play the Ming Emperor and merge Suining into Guangning Mansion, which will be under your unified jurisdiction." I will also explain the matter of the 100,000 soldiers before with the emperor. This Hu Guangcai, embezzled the imperial court's troops, was bold and reckless, and died innocently. You hand him over to the Criminal Department and get the case out!"
Admiral Guangning knew that Prime Minister Leng was helping him get rid of his crimes, which proved that he had fully won the appreciation of the Prime Minister. So he hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him: "Prime Minister Xie is coming, Shi Hangtong will definitely do his best to assist Prime Minister." β
Recently, I heard that the waves in the East China Sea are strong, and many boaters have been shipwrecked. As an official of Quang Ninh Province, you are in charge of half of the sailors. The prime minister now orders you to go to the East China Sea to observe the people's situation on a certain day, and to provide relief, relief, hardship, and people. "When the words 'relief for refugees' were spoken, the condensation incense was deliberately word-by-word.
Admiral Guangning thought about it: Just now Prime Minister Leng said 'Admiral Suining is useless', he was hinting to me and asking me to put the charge of harboring 100,000 soldiers on the head of Admiral Suining. And kill him, so that there is no proof of death. Now he says that 'the waves in the East China Sea are strong, and shipwrecks are frequent', which obviously asked me to kill 100,000 soldiers who were adrift on the sea.
However, it is okay to kill a Suining Admiral, if I drown those 100,000 soldiers, I will really become a sinner of the Ming Dynasty! Thinking of this, he couldn't help but hesitate. After all, 100,000 lives is not a small number. Once the news leaks out, he is likely to be connected to the Nine Clans.
Condensation Xiang saw that he hesitated, and then asked, "What's the matter?"
Admiral Guangning didn't dare to disobey, so he gritted his teeth and said: "No! Doing things for the prime minister is for the benefit of the Ming Dynasty." As long as the Prime Minister orders, the lower officials will go all out and never give up!"
The Admiral of Guangning sent his entourage to carry the body of the Admiral of Suining out of the Prime Minister's Mansion. The family of the Prime Minister's Mansion washed the hall clean again. Although Mu Bao'er didn't witness what happened in front of her in the back, the information she heard with her ears was enough to piece together the whole story. She heard the footsteps of Condensation Incense, and hurriedly ran to the bed to cover the quilt and pretend to be asleep.
Condensation Xiang saw that Mu Bao'er was not moving on the bed, walked up to help her fold the quilt, and sat gently on the edge of the bed. With a loving hand, help Mu Bao'er sort out the broken hair on her forehead. This series of actions proves that she has always missed Mu Bao'er.
Mu Baoer pretended to be asleep, but her heart was extremely active. Hearing Condensation Xiang muttering to herself: "I haven't seen you for many days, Bao'er has grown up, really grown up!" Mu Bao'er was deeply moved.
That night, Condensing Xiang sent someone to inform the Empress Dowager Jing, saying that Mu Bao'er was fine in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the Empress Dowager should not worry. stayed in the Prime Minister's Mansion for one night, and sent someone back to the palace the next day.
Empress Dowager Jing wondered why Mu Bao'er ran to the Prime Minister's Mansion. However, his son is the Son of Heaven, and no courtier will treat Mu Bao'er slowly. So, she settled down and went to bed, not mentioning it.
The next day, Mu Bao'er returned to the Empress Dowager's mansion. Empress Dowager Jing asked why she ran to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Mu Bao'er concealed her meeting with Condensation Xiang. Since the Empress Dowager Jing did not participate in the affairs of the court, she did not know that the emperor had set up condensing incense as the leader. But everything that happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion yesterday has always been haunted by Mu Bao'er's heart, and even accumulated into a disaster.
Although she doesn't understand national affairs, she has always been proud of the fact that 'her third mother is the queen mother of today'. In her cognition, everything in the court should be decided by the emperor and the queen. So if she has anything, she won't hide it from Dao Meimei and Ryuzo. After all, what I heard the most in the palace was 'bullying the king, and he would not be forgiven'. And last night there was a murder in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the emperor and Sanniang were actually kept in the dark. Whether I should say it or not, I have no idea for a while.
Just when she decided to forget about last night's events, Long San came to visit the Queen Mother as usual. As a filial son, it is not surprising that it is common for him to visit his parents every day. But this time it was different from the past that he did not bring the accompanying eunuch with him, but took the Dongchang factory duke - Nan Yingying.
Long San entered the queen mother's bedroom, bowed to the queen mother, and said to the queen mother: "Queen mother? β
Empress Dowager Jing asked with a stunned face, "Leave, why did you let me and Bao'er leave so abruptly, what happened in the palace?"
"Don't ask, the queen mother, today is the Dragon Boat Festival, and I specially announced that the queen mother is going to worship the ancestors. So without further ado, hurry up and pack up your things and follow Nanchang Gong out of the palace. Wherever she goes, Meimei will take care of her mother. β
Empress Dowager Jing saw Long San's urgency, and she also had her own guess in her heart. If it weren't for the seriousness of the situation, Long San would not have taken advantage of the Dragon Boat Festival to release fake news to gain the opportunity to take him out of the palace. But once she left, leaving Long San here alone, the mother was also panicked: "Emperor, then what should you do?"
Long San thought for a while and said, "Please rest assured, with the assistance of Lord Gong and other ministers, I will be fine." As soon as the matter in the palace is settled, I will pick up my mother and come back immediately. After speaking, he turned his head to Nan Yingying and said, "Sister Nan, my mother will entrust it to you, without further ado, hurry up and leave!"
Nan Yingying worshiped the emperor's order, took Empress Dowager Jing and Mu Bao'er into the carriage, and left the Jingshi under the escort of Jinyiwei and rushed to Changsheng Mountain.
Dao Meimei had been waiting anxiously at the foot of Changsheng Mountain, and when she saw the Empress Dowager Jing arrive safely, a hanging heart finally let go. I personally went to the frame to greet the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, you have finally arrived! I calculated that the time should come, but I didn't see the carriage and horses ......for a long time." β
Nan Yingying said: "Queen Mother, the road is too bumpy, and Bao'er has been vomiting, so it was delayed!"
Everyone boarded the Baiwu Tianyuan Pavilion and sat down, and then the Empress Dowager Jing asked, "Meimei, what happened in the palace? Why didn't you come to hide in the distance of this mountain and high fog?"
"Mother, this is a long story, and my daughter-in-law will explain it to you slowly in the future. How is the emperor, and is he getting better?"
"Well, it's much better. Recently, he doesn't seem to be in the court much, and I heard the little eunuch say that he raises flowers and grass in the palace all day long, with fish and birds as companions. At first, I was worried that he would lose his mind, but today I was suddenly asked to leave, and he must have been in some trouble!"
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were chatting, and Mu Bao'er interjected on the side: "Sanniang, I know why the emperor is upset!"
Dao Meimei hugged Mu Bao'er to her side and sat with her: "Oh~~?
Mu Bao'er said: "The emperor is upset, it must be because the imperial court has lost 100,000 troops!"
As soon as Mu Bao'er said this, Dao Meimei's Taiji eyes immediately turned: "Bao'er, how do you know? Who told you that the imperial court lost 100,000 troops?"
Mu Bao'er realized that she had slipped her mouth because she was familiar with Dao Meimei's temper. I also know that her Tai Chi eyes are spinning rapidly, which means that her mood has changed. I didn't know if I would hurt the condensation incense, so I squeaked and didn't dare to answer.
Dao Meimei forced him to ask: "Bao'er, you haven't answered Sanniang, who told you that the imperial court lost 100,000 troops? Your mother Damuti will come back tonight, if she knows that you have deceived your lordship, see how she cleans you up!"
When Mu Bao'er heard this, she was so frightened that she had to follow the humane: "I heard it in the Prime Minister's Mansion, last night the Admiral Guangning went to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he also killed the Admiral Suining in the Prime Minister's Mansion." He personally said that he hid 100,000 soldiers on a ferry in the East China Sea, and also intercepted the military supplies and food ...... sent by the imperial court to the border gates. β
"- ferry?"
Dao Meimei suddenly realized: "No wonder Nanyu searched all over Guangning and Suining and couldn't find the 100,000 army, the Admiral of Guangning has the sailors of the imperial court in his hands, and it is reasonable for him to hide the 100,000 soldiers in the ferryββ hey! Damn, why didn't I think of it?"
At this time, Baili Xingyun and Lu Feiyan walked into the hall, and when they saw the Empress Dowager Jing, the two hurriedly knelt down.
Dao Meimei couldn't wait to pull Xingyun aside and said, "Eldest sister, Mu Bao'er came back and said: The 100,000 troops of the imperial court are now hiding on the ferry in the East China Sea...... β
Xingyun was also very surprised when he heard this: "No wonder the ferry ?ββ, Nanyu has searched all over the provinces of Guangzhou and Sui and can't find it! Now that we already know, without further ado, we must extradite them to the shore as soon as possible."
Condensing incense is only one step away from the throne, outside the pass, she has the Western Regions and Mobei armies as backup, and in the Ming Dynasty she has Zunwumen and Fanzhu as the main force. If she knew that there were still 100,000 troops in the imperial court wandering in the East China Sea, she would definitely try her best to get rid of those soldiers to prevent future troubles!"
"-Mother?" Mu Bao'er suddenly shouted, interrupting the conversation between the two. Looking back, Bao'er was happily pounced on Damuti. Damuti saw her daughter's tears of joy coming down her eyes, and she picked up Mu Bao'er and kissed her .......
"Bao'er, my mother misses you so much!" Damuti hugged Mu Bao'er and couldn't put it down.
Mu Bao'er patted her mother's cheek: "Mother, why have you lost weight?"
As soon as Damuti was about to answer, Dao Meimei came over and said, "Fourth sister, it's just right to come back, my eldest sister and I are looking for you for something!"
Damuti put down Mu Bao'er and entered the inner hall to start a secret discussion ...... with Xingyun and Dao Meimei.
Damuti said: "The East China Sea is vast, how easy is it to find a few ships in the vast sea? Even if we find it, the Black Dragon Army we have trained are all landlubbers, how can we extradite more than 100,000 people ashore? Moreover, once it encounters danger, or strong winds and waves, the Black Dragon Legion is likely to suffer huge losses, and the previous efforts will also be in vain!"
"Yes!" Nebula had the same concern, "That's why I asked you to see if I could train a team to learn water and complete this difficult task?"
Damuti thought for a moment: "I can filter out some people, but I am not good at training sailors. If those 100,000 soldiers were adrift in the coastal waters, my sister would have the confidence to give it a try. But if it's a long voyage, I'm really not sure at all! Besides, if we really find those 100,000 soldiers, how can we lead them to Changsheng Mountain? Now the ears and eyes of Condensation Incense are all over the county, and once she knows about it, then our Black Dragon Army will definitely be exposed. β
I once heard my stepmother say that she survived the Great War when she hid on Bengbu Island in the East China Sea. If you can't bring back the 100,000 troops, it is better to extradite them to Bengbu Island, wait for the Black Dragon Legion to be full-fledged, and then integrate them into its banner.
It's a pity that I left the horn of Nuwa to my second sister. Otherwise, I can summon a boat and personally go and extradite the 100,000-strong army to shore!"
