Time is like an hourglass, and what should be gone must be walked.

After the meal, Lu Wan stood quietly at the door, as silent as the years, but her eyes were already thousands of miles away.

Zhang San picked up Wu Liang and thanked him and said goodbye.

The scriptures were put away on the windowsill, and they were already as dry as the weather, Wu Liang put them in his arms, and said softly: "Whether you can save Boguang or not, it depends on this thing." ”

Seeing the two backs disappear at the end of the road, Lu Wan looked back and said to the maid: "Change everything in the house." ”

The maid nodded, knowing that the master was happy.

As soon as the master and apprentice went out, they saw a big formation, the figures on the street, the soldiers and armor, the cavalry and infantry were all there, patrolling around, the people who went out slipped away, there were no loud noises, but in private they couldn't help but talk about it, what happened?

"It seems that those people from the pilgrimage have not come back yet, so let's go back to the inn first. Wu Liang put his arm on Zhang San's shoulders, and the master and apprentice ran to Dongcheng against the wall.

It's not that those people didn't come back, when Zhang San fed Lu Wan tea, a large number of people came back, princes and nobles, high-rollers in the rivers and lakes, envoys from Fanbang, plus the people who watched the excitement, nearly 10,000 people, and now they are all blocked outside the Xizhi Gate.

"Father-in-law Feng, when will the door be opened, don't let the friendly envoys see the joke. The sun went down for half an hour, and Prime Minister Li Shanchang's tone was very unkind at this time.

The death of the emperor was also a bolt from the blue for several of them, but people are dead after all, and they have to face the reality, and the top priority is to find out the murderer as soon as possible and set up a new king.

As the saying goes, a country cannot be without a king for a day, speaking of which, the new monarch is still on top of finding out the murderer, a country's heavy weapon, how many people covet it, and it will change later.

The sharp voice of the great eunuch Feng Bao sounded above the city: "Prime Minister Wu Cheng is at ease, Queen Luan will arrive in a while, and our family is looking forward to it." ”

The emperor died, and now the queen is naturally the biggest, when the queen is surnamed Wang, born in the Langya Wang clan, a martial arts family, when the emperor is in the micro, all the way to support, when fighting the world, there is also the experience of personally holding a gun into battle, the folk prestige is known, and the emperor is also quite in awe during his lifetime.

The eunuch Feng Bao is the confidant of the queen.

Li Shanchang and Wei Guogong Xu Da glanced at each other, their expressions were surprisingly similar, a little worried and a little helpless, but at this time, it was difficult to say that Feng Sheng, the Honglu Temple Qing next to him, was the brother of the eunuch Feng Bao.

Since ancient times, emperors have many heirs, and according to the rules, the eldest son of the emperor succeeds to the throne, but the emperor has a long life, and the eldest son Zhu Long has not yet lived his father, and he hung up three years ago, and now it is the emperor's eldest grandson Zhu Congbiao who should succeed to the throne.

Zhu Congbiao is now outside the city, behind the Duke of Wei, the queen does not let people in, the first target is undoubtedly Zhu Congbiao, to say who the queen wants to succeed to the throne, more than two princes can guess the seven big eight, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military also know that the queen is the youngest son, the young and weak crown of Langya King Zhu Tao, so it was specially arranged in their royal ancestral land.

It's just that it's usually spoiled, and no one dares to have any opinions, and now when it comes to the change of imperial power, then it can't be treated with caution.

If the queen really wants to establish the king of Langya, then what should the emperor's eldest grandson Zhu Congbiao's line do, if he doesn't kill it, he can't feel at ease, if he kills, what will happen to the princes and nobles who are usually good friends with the emperor's eldest grandson, this is a matter that involves the whole body.

Everyone is waiting, but the mentality of waiting is different, Zhu Congbiao is like a hot pot, feeling tormented, and he is no smarter than the emperor's family, Zhu Congbiao of course knows that his situation is very unfavorable now, but he can't turn around and run, whether he is dead or alive, he has to go into the city hard.

There are also a lot of princes from all walks of life at the scene, all of them are Zhu Congbiao's uncles and uncles, Taiwu's own son, there are not many people who want to solve the case for Taiwu, and Wu Liang is not enthusiastic, but everyone who will ascend the throne has pondered in their hearts, and each has its own abacus.

The people were not in a hurry, they knew that no matter what the circumstances, whoever ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne would have to let them in sooner or later.

As for the envoys of Fanbang, they all made up their minds to see the excitement, the more lively the better, it is best to wash the capital in blood, the world mutiny, they go back to the lord of the country, and bring the troops to take a bite, which is a great achievement.

Only the heroes of the rivers and lakes in various places are silent, there is such a thing, it is not to stay, it is not to go, there is a circle of royal forest troops outside, and they are watching there on the orders of the princes and princes, and before the incident in the western suburbs is investigated, anyone who leaves has to be reported.

It's okay to go now, but you can't be suspicious, so it's better to wait for the truth to come out.

On the third pole of the day, the queen arrived, and climbed the city wall with the momentum of the mother's ceremony, and the princes and nobles and ordinary people below all saluted.

Queen Wang's eyes were still red and swollen with the red and swollen that she had just cried, she glanced around below, and said slowly: "Suddenly I heard the bad news, there was a panic in the Forbidden City, and I appeased you for a long time." ”

No matter what the reason, who dares to say a word, not to mention, this reason is still so legitimate and reasonable.

Breathing a sigh of relief, the queen said again: "The emperor was counted by the traitors today, unfortunately the murderer has not been brought to justice, in order to avoid chaos, so he had to close the city gate, now please enter the city in batches, and the rest of the people must not act rashly, otherwise it will be regarded as a rebellion." ”

As soon as the queen's voice fell, thousands of soldiers appeared densely on the city wall, each holding a strong bow and a hard crossbow, and the tips of the arrows of white iron and steel shone white in the scorching sun.

Feng Baoxuan stretched his voice like a holy decree and shouted: "Please ask the emperor's eldest grandson Zhu Congbiao to enter the city with his family attendants." ”

The first one is himself, Feng Bao's voice made Zhu Congbiao excited, and he saw that the wide city gate in front of him also opened with Feng Bao's squeak.

It may be heaven in front, maybe it is hell, Zhu Congbiao has no preparation at all, there are more than a dozen guards around him, under the eyes of the queen, it is impossible for any prince to stand up for him.

Thinking of the imperial grandmother's female might, he seemed to rush to the execution ground, one step forward but two steps back, and he didn't go under the city gate for half a day, the people were anxious to watch from behind, but they didn't dare to urge, those princes could understand the helplessness of this nephew, but they couldn't help, who couldn't tell who was burning this fire.

At this moment, I saw a white shadow floating up from behind the crowd like a Nine Heavens Immortal, and hundreds of people fell beside Zhu Congbiao, and the queen and queen under the canopy of the city wall saw that their eyes narrowed.

"Let's go!" the voice was gentle and heartwarming.

Zhu Cong looked at it, and was overjoyed, it turned out to be his fiancée Zhuge Qingyao, the eldest daughter of Zhuge Shenhou, and he almost forgot that he still had this backing.

The next steps were brisk, and Zhu Congbiao entered the city gate.

After a while, Feng Bao's voice sounded again, "Please bring the king of Jiangzhejiang and his family to enter the city." ”

When the king of Jiangsu and Zhejiang entered the city, Zhang San helped Wu Lianggang into the inn.

Seeing that Wu Liang was injured, Ye Mei poured tea and water for a good meal, and Wu Qing lowered his head and wept.

"It's okay, good daughter, don't cry, a little injury, just rest for a while. Wu Liang's two completely different styles for his daughter and Zhang San are two, if this is Zhang San, Wu Liang will say, "What are you crying for, I'm not dead yet!"

Over the years, Zhang San has been used to it, and he will not worry about Wu Liang, Wu Liang lay on his bed, and the fatigue after the injury hit, and he quickly fell asleep.

Zhang San and Ye Mei Wu Qing said the general course of the matter, Wu Qing was a little immature, just listen to it, Ye Mei is an adult in the end, so he is a little worried, knowing that this stealing the scripture may not be finished, how many people are staring at this scripture, Wu Liang and Zhang San may not fall into the eyes of people who have a heart, they have to make a move as soon as possible.

"Why don't I contact the master. Ye Mei and Zhang San discussed.

"The master didn't say, or wake him up and ask. Zhang San didn't dare to assert himself.

"Don't contact anyone, San'er, you wait for the evening to go to the king of Jiangsu and Zhejiang to inquire. This Wu Liang understood as well as he was awake, and after speaking, he turned over and continued to snore, which was really unpredictable.

In the evening, Wu Liang hadn't woken up yet, Zhang San went out of the room, and the inn was hanging a white cloth, and it seemed that the news of Taiwu's death had entered the city.

When I arrived on the street, I heard the wail from time to time, and the city was depressed, which was diametrically opposed to the state of the peak of the population a few days ago, as if it was booming and declining.

Step by step, Zhang San came to the deep house of the king of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the gate of the courtyard had been hung with white cloth and white flowers, and the guards recognized Zhang San and put him in directly.

The housekeepers and maidservants walking in the house are all dressed in linen and filial piety, but there is no crying.

I saw Zhu Congzhi in the side hall, wandering around the house, Xu Jianglou stood aside, and his face was also gloomy.

"My father was taken away by the emperor's grandmother after he entered the city, and he hasn't come back yet. Zhu Congzhi and Zhang San explained the reason for his uneasiness.

"What about the other princes?" asked Zhang San.

"Now all houses are allowed to enter but not to leave, and there are factory guards at the door to keep an eye on it, and no one can get any news. Xu Jianglou said.

When Zhang San heard Xu Jianglou say this, he suddenly remembered that there were a few sneaky people outside the gate when he first came in, and it seemed that he didn't want to go out.
