Chapter 126: Soldiers, Treacherous
After sending off the Caiyun boy, Zhang Zixing, who had received important information, immediately returned to the palace to make a series of emergency deployments, and summoned the doctor Fei Lian into the palace overnight.
Fei Lian has had a leisurely time since the Nulu incident, and he can't get involved in the New Deal anyway, so he has a relaxed surname.
"Fei Lianqing's family, the widow summoned you this time for an important task. Hearing this, Fei Lian couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart, the important task that the Son of Heaven said was a tricky affair.
"Aiqing made a great contribution to seducing the female demon last time, so that the national teacher finally successfully eliminated the demon and evil, and the widow even rejoiced, I don't know if the evil has healed from the injury?"
As soon as he heard the word national teacher, Fei Lian secretly paid attention, and replied: "Thank you for Your Majesty's care, the dog has basically recovered, and you can go back to the palace to wait for Your Majesty's dispatch." ”
"There are two major events at the moment, both of which are imminent, and the non-Qing family cannot solve the worries of the widows. Zhang Zixing's tone became more and more solemn, "When I said that I was going to eliminate the female hermitage, it was originally to save the people of the world, but unexpectedly, it led to a more powerful opponent." ”
When Fei Lian heard this, he sighed in his heart, and immediately guessed the identity of the "opponent", only to hear the Son of Heaven really say: "That opponent is the Yellow Emperor's rain god Yinglong, the mana is strong, and it is still above the female slu, and it can't be matched by the doctor......
Fei Lian used World War II to suppress Ying Long, but now he has suffered a big loss in cultivation, and he is alone, how dare he confront Ying Long, and hurriedly said: "Ying Long is the god of the ancients, with profound mana, and the battle of Zhuolu in the past has shown great might, and it is definitely not something that the subordinates can parry." This matter must be personally taken by the national teacher in order to win. ”
Zhang Zixing's face hesitated, and said: "Qing is a minister trusted by the widow, and the widow does not hide it, the national teacher should go against the sky, use the magic power to rain the Son of Heaven, relieve the drought, and hurt the vitality, but I am afraid that he may not be able to win against Ying Long." ”
Fei Lian had already guessed that the rain was not all the work of the Son of Heaven's prayers, after all, he had personally experienced the battle of the Yellow Emperor Chiyou, and he also suspected that the rain to relieve the drought in the world was Ying Long's doing, but it stands to reason that even if it was Ying Long, he could not do it at the same time as the rain in the world.
"Your Majesty, your subordinates are really limited in strength, and they will definitely live up to Your Majesty's trust at that time, and please forgive Your Majesty for the matter of Ying Long, if it is something else within their ability, your subordinates will not dare to refuse. ”
Zhang Zixing saw that Fei Lian repeatedly shirked the matter of dealing with Ying Long, and sighed: "Okay, the widow will let the national teacher work hard again, and Aiqing will do another easier thing for the widow." ”
Fei Lian has always been cautious, and he did not let go of his mind because the Son of Heaven said "easy", and asked carefully: "Please tell Your Majesty about the second thing." ”
Zhang Zixing said with a straight face: "This matter is also extraordinary, Aiqing can be so ...... like this"
Fei Lian's face was embarrassed: "Your Majesty, this matter is ...... minister"
Zhang Zixing didn't wait for him to complain, and immediately said: "If Aiqing is unwilling, the widow has to bother the national teacher, but there is only one national teacher, how can he be the two-ended? Aiqing should deal with Yinglong - since you are loyal to the widow, you should relieve the widow's worries, and you must choose one of the two, and you must not shirk." ”
Where is Fei Lian willing to face the old enemy of the battle of Zhuolu, after weighing, he felt that it was easier to deal with the latter thing, and said at the moment: "Ying Long's matter, the subordinates are powerless, and the subordinates still choose the sacrificial matter." ”
Zhang Zixing Longyan Dayue: "This is very good, with a loyal minister like Aiqing, the widow should sit back and relax! Aiqing quickly returned home to prepare, don't make a mistake." ”
Fei Lian resigned and retreated. Zhang Zixing looked at his back and sneered secretly: This Feng Bo has been hiding his identity and refusing to tell the truth, and it seems that he still refuses to be truly loyal to himself, the Son of Heaven. Judging from the relay of Ying Long of the female leader, Fei Lian seems to be trying to find a way to restore his body and cultivation back then, so the identity of this doctor is at most just a cover-up, and he will definitely give up if necessary.
Zhang Zixing was not annoyed, he already had a Xuan Immortal-level powerhouse like Kong Xuan by his side, and even Nulu and Ying Long were also in the realm of golden immortals, so they didn't need to pin their hopes on Fei Lian. It's also very easy to deal with a "courtier" like Fei Lian with different ambitions, it's a pity to kill it, and it's best to use it as cannon fodder.
When he went to court the next day, Wen Zhong played: "Bishui Pass came to report yesterday that the southeast city wall collapsed in a corner, and it seems that there are spiritual things underground. ”
The Son of Heaven said: "If there is a supernatural thing to blame, it must be the Grand Master. The old lady worked tirelessly for the country and should be an example for hundreds of officials. I hope to go early and return early, so as not to be remembered. ”
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the old minister's mount Mo Qilin is good at soaring clouds, and the tutorial is very fast. ”
As soon as Master Wen said this deadline, most of the officials did not react much. Only Wei Fan's hand holding the tooth wat suddenly tightened, but his face was silent.
It is getting closer and closer to the day of Mu Xin's sacrifice, and according to the Celestial Shadow, the Yue Wangfu has been quite calm recently, and there is nothing abnormal. Zhang Zixing knew that this was exactly what was brewing before the storm. In fact, in these days, the palace is also business as usual, the practice is still practiced, and the back and forth is still the same, and there seems to be a bit of tacit understanding with the Yue Wangfu, which has always been peaceful.
The evening before the storm broke out, something happened.
Wei Fan's daughter Wei Yuan came to the palace to visit her friend Concubine Huang Feiyan.
Wei Yuan was listed as one of Zhang Zixing's concubine candidates by the concubines, but Zhang Zixing thought that she was too utilitarian and did not admit her into the palace in the end. And Wei Yuan was stubborn enough, and actually refused several marriages one after another, even her father Wei Fan couldn't resist her death and forced her, so she had to continue to let her stay in the boudoir.
Three years have passed, Wei Yuan is still beautiful and delicate, and she has a little more mature charm, although she was not accepted by the Son of Heaven, but she still has a deep friendship with Huang Feiyan, visiting the palace from time to time, and from time to time she will bring some small gifts to the concubines, which are deeply loved by the daughters.
Huang Feiyan, who was training the "troops", was naturally very happy about Wei Yuan's arrival, and immediately irresponsibly threw down the "soldiers" and invited Wei Yuan into his West Palace. The two chatted for a while, Huang Feiyan took out a few sets of clothes designed for her in her spare time and showed off in front of this friend, those clothes were novel in style, the color was coordinated, and Wei Yuan was happy and envious, and when her eyes fell on the corner of Huang Feiyan's clothes, her complexion suddenly changed.
Huang Feiyan didn't know what to do, and asked, "Sister Yuan, why are you so pale?"
Wei Yuan covered her chest and said, "It's okay, it's just a little tight." ”
Huang Feiyan nodded, not taking it to heart, Wei Yuan raised her head, and secretly looked at the thing from another angle, and finally confirmed her guess, her face became more and more difficult to see.
Wei Yuan was anxious, where did she dare to stay, and hurriedly said: "Niangniang, my sister said that for some reason, her heart was extremely uncomfortable, so she had to go back to the house to rest first, and then come to visit Niangniang." ”
Huang Feiyan only said that she was really ill, and she was not reluctant, and told her to rest and personally send her out of the palace.
As soon as he left the palace, Wei Yuan hurriedly returned to the mansion and wanted to tell his father Wei Fan. At this time, Wei Fan happened to go out and did not return, Wei Yuan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and finally waited for Wei Fan to return, it was almost late at night.
Wei Fan originally looked relaxed, but after listening to his daughter's story, Rao was always calm, and he couldn't help but change color.
"This is a matter of life and death, Yuan'er, have you ever seen it clearly?"
"Yuan'er knows the stakes of this matter, how dare she be ambiguous? The poison-dispelling talisman is the same as what my sister gave me, and I will never be mistaken. ”
Wei Fan's face was heavy, and he quickly remembered in his heart: "Generally, Concubine Li has this spirit rune, if it is not accidental, the rest of the ladies will naturally have it, so it seems that the poison is not ......?"
"Yuan'er, it's a great thing that you have a trip to the palace today, otherwise we would be doomed!"
Wei Yuan hurriedly said: "Since this is the case, my father should immediately go to my sister's house and explain everything, so as not to say ......."
Wei Fan shook his head calmly: "Since the Son of Heaven is so prepared, he already knows about the plan, and the Yue Wangfu will be under his surveillance. The only way to do it now...... Only one to enter the palace!"
Wei Yuan's delicate body shook violently, and she exclaimed: "Father doesn't want to sacrifice his two brothers and sister?"
Wei Fan's face was pale, and he gritted his teeth and said: "With the wisdom of the Son of Heaven and such an arrangement, I am afraid that it will be difficult to do it." Although the father's move is ruthless, it is also helpless. Whether this succeeds or fails, our people will be saved. Even if you lose the three of you because of your father, as well as you and Qiu'er, if your father is not like this, once you say that the matter is defeated, our clan will not be lucky. For hundreds of years, our clan has been incognito, and since then, there is only this little bit of blood left, and now that the big thing has not been accomplished, how can it be cut off in my hands......"
Wei Yuan bit her lip tightly, but tears dripped down unconsciously.
After making a decision, Wei Fan did not dare to delay, and entered the palace overnight to ask to see the Son of Heaven.
Zhang Zixing was very surprised by Weifan's request to see him at this time, but he still met him.
As soon as Wei Fan saw the Son of Heaven, he immediately couldn't afford to bow down and even called him guilty. Subsequently, what he said made Zhang Zixing shocked.
Wei Fan claimed that he recently felt that his second son Wei Ting and Wei Qi were a little abnormal, and he couldn't help but pay attention, and when he visited his daughter Yue Princess Wei Amaranth in the Yue Wang's mansion, he overheard a big conspiracy. The king of Yue actually deliberately conspired against him, colluded with the four major princes, and prepared to disadvantage the Son of Heaven at the Ming Dynasty's Muxin Festival, and his two sons also participated in it! Wei Fan's surprise was not trivial, and he did not dare to hide it, so he hurriedly entered the palace overnight to tell the Son of Heaven.
Zhang Zixing was surprised that Weifan was so loyal, and he did not hesitate to kill his relatives in righteousness, in his impression, Weifan was a "speculative minister" equivalent to Fei Lian and Fei Zhong, and the vocabulary of those loyal ministers did not match at all. Moreover, in his intelligence, Wei Fan and his son-in-law Wei Ziqi had a very close relationship, and he was originally listed as one of Wei Ziqi's accomplice suspects, but he didn't expect to come overnight to tell the informant.
What shocked Zhang Zixing even more was the six words "collusion with the four princes"! Unexpectedly, Wei Ziqi really caught up with the four princes! No wonder when he summoned them to talk, he always felt that something was not quite right, so it was!
Zhang Zixing immediately thought of the disappearance of the Shadow Guard in Michi, and his eyes shot a sharp light, and Wei Fan's heart trembled for a while. Zhang Zixing immediately praised Wei Fan quietly, and immediately named him a doctor, and made an official announcement when he was in the court, and strictly instructed Wei Fan not to make a public announcement.
Wei Fan saw from the calm expression of the Son of Heaven that the matter of Ming Yu had been known long ago, and at the same time, he was also bitter: this position of a doctor was still exchanged for the surnames of two sons and one daughter.
In fact, Zhang Zixing did not have full faith in Weifan's words, especially the matter of the four princes, which was by no means idle, in order to further confirm this matter, Zhang Zixing then immediately summoned one of the parties, Beibohou Chonghou Hu.
Zhang Zixing first examined Chonghou Hu for a long time, and did not speak, Chonghou Hu was uneasy by this invisible psychological offensive, and then Zhang Zixing asked two words lightly.
The first sentence is: "The widow has always regarded Chongqing as a loyal minister, and Chongqing can know what loyalty is? ”
Chonghou Hu originally had a ghost in his heart, and he was even more uneasy when he heard this.
The Son of Heaven then asked again, completely breaking his mental defense: "King Yue is in Michi...... What good did it do you?"
Chonghou Hu was sweating, knelt on the ground, and hurriedly explained: "King Yue...... The king of Yue wanted to incite the four marquis of the southeast, northwest and northwest to rebel, but the ministers thought of His Majesty's grace and categorically refused, asking His Majesty to learn from it. ”
Zhang Zixing made a slight test of the matter of Michi, and really confirmed the assumption in his heart, and naturally did not believe Chonghou Hu's words: "When the widow ascended the throne, he promised you 'Yongzhen Beidi,' and planned to give you Bai Huang Yue forever, what a kindness this is, but unfortunately you disappointed the widow too much, the widow is really heartbroken, and you don't want ......to tell the truth quickly."
Chonghou Hu was extremely frightened, kowtowed, and said everything he said, just skipping the matter of the fourth marquis to Wei Ziqi. Chonghou Hu is not stupid, he knows that if he shakes out the other three marquis, the Son of Heaven will inevitably be suspicious of himself, but he did not let go of E Chongyu, saying that E Chongyu is likely to have colluded with Wei Ziqi, the idea of gathering in the post house of four people was put forward by E Chongyu, and then after Wei Ziqi entered the post house, Nan Bohou's guards who were on guard outside did not "notice" at all, and the language was also multi-layered with Wei Ziqi, which was not wronged E Chongyu.
Zhang Zixing was quite surprised by E Chongyu's performance, and originally listed this Nan Bohou as an important suspect, but now it seems that he is definitely an accomplice of Wei Ziqi.
Back then, Wei Ziqi was defeated from the battle for the crown prince because of Zhang Zixing's "prince crisis theory" in Zhaoxuandian, and now he wants to rely on this remark to incite the princes and seize the throne. Using the ambition of the members of the Great Shang clan to seize the throne, and then taking the surname of the Son of Heaven, it seems that the struggle for imperial power between such people is normal, but she can not be contaminated with karma, even if there is, there is also the expelled Caiyun boy as a substitute for the ghost. Once the position of the Son of Heaven is truly changed, the killing and robbery can be caused by chaos, or a large-scale war can be launched by the princes of a certain "Mandate Allah of Heaven" under the banner of eliminating rebellion...... Zhang Zixing hated a lot in his heart, but he still controlled his emotions and stabilized Chonghou Hu, he suddenly thought of the plot in the novel where Fei Zhong sent Jiang Huan to assassinate King Jiang and frame Queen Jiang, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and a strange plan was suddenly born.
"Yin is within the yang, not in the opposite ...... of yang"
