Chapter 159
The mother and daughter did not meet each other, and there was a lot of things to say between them. It was not until the time when it was time to leave the palace that Lu Wanning reluctantly sent Tao away.
As soon as Tao left the palace and returned to the Zhongyong Hou Mansion, he found Tao Shi, the son of his personal nanny, and handed him the letter written by Lu Wanning, asking him to go to the northern border in person and handed the letter to Zhongyong Hou.
When the nanny's son Tao Shi left with the letter, Tao ordered the maid beside him to send the things Lu Wanning asked her to bring to Tao Yunjun's house to Tao Yunjun.
In the northern border, the Zhongyong Hou heard the soldiers come to report that a servant from the mansion came to find him, and it was a little strange. What did the servants be sent to the mansion do at this time?
However, since it was a servant sent from the mansion, he still asked someone to bring in.
When I saw the face I had never seen before, Zhongyong Hou couldn't help but frowned, "You said you were a servant in the mansion. Why haven't I seen you before? Which yard did you work in? Who sent you here?
?”
Logically speaking, if the servants were sent in the mansion, it would be impossible to send a servant whom he was completely unfamiliar with.
Tao Shi saluted to Zhongyong Hou and said, "If you come back to the Marquis, the villain Tao Shi has been working in the third wife's shop before. This time, the third wife sent the villain to deliver letters to the Marquis."
When Hou Zhongyong heard Tao Shi's words, he was even more suspicious. He was the uncle and Tao was her third sister-in-law. The two should have avoided suspicion. How could Tao suddenly send someone to deliver a letter to her?
But he thought again that now that his third brother is gone, the Tao might have something to ask for his help, so he sent him a letter.
With this mentality, Zhongyong Hou took the letter from Tao Shi, opened it and read it slowly.
But the more I looked at Zhongyong Hou's face, the darker it became. When I saw Zhongyong Hou's face was so darker that it was almost ink.
In the past two years, he has been focusing on the northern border and rarely paying attention to the mansion. He originally thought that Lin's family was there in the mansion, and there would be no major problems, but he did not expect that because of his negligence, Chang's family did this.
It will cause trouble to the entire Marquis’ Mansion.
He didn't know about sending Lu Wanning into the palace in advance. When he found out, the situation was already done. He couldn't save it even if he wanted to save it. For this matter, he wrote a letter to Lin and Chang, asking them to do it later.
I must tell him what happened before, but I didn't expect that they didn't take what he said to heart.
The little eunuch in Jianzhang Palace was indeed his person, but he had no other intention to arrange the little eunuch at that time. Many important officials in the court would arrange people around the emperor to facilitate understanding of the emperor's thoughts and not let himself act and speak.
It touched the emperor's brow.
But he didn't expect that this person was used by the stupid woman of Chang to frame her niece and was discovered by the emperor.
Fortunately, he had no intention of greed for the military power in his hands. He wanted to hand over the military power in his hands to the emperor after the northern border was completely quiet.
In this situation, he is afraid that the military power he can only fight against is no longer enough.
Seeing Tao Shi was still waiting on the side, Zhongyong Hou burned the letter and said to him: "You go down and take a day off first. I will send you back tomorrow. After you go back, I will tell your wife about this. I will deal with it.
of."
Tao Shi nodded and was taken down by the servant arranged by Zhongyong Hou to rest.
After Lu Wanning handed over the letter to Tao, she did not do any extra work. What will happen to Zhongyong Hou Mansion in the future depends on her uncle.
However, Lu Wanning waited for a while but did not wait for news from Zhongyong Hou.
In a blink of an eye, more than a month passed, the autumn wind suddenly rose, and it was already mid-September. The situation between Dayong and Beimo had completely stabilized. The second prince of Beimo became king and handed a letter of surrender to Dayong.
After this good news came to the capital, both the court and the people in the capital were excited.
Luo Chengjing looked at another message sent with Jiang Shu, frowned slightly, and asked Ning Wang in front of him, "Horse Zhongyong is really injured?"
Ning Wang replied after hearing this: "It's true, the emperor's brother, Zhongyong Hou, may not have expected anyone to choose to take action on the spot when submitting the surrender letter in Beimo. He was not prepared and was seriously injured."
This time, King Ning was on behalf of the emperor to accept Beimo's surrender letter, and happened to see the injury of Zhongyong Hou with his own eyes.
Luo Chengjing pointed at the memorial on the table and asked again: "Is the situation serious?"
"There have been seen by several imperial physicians in the army and said that there is no possibility of cure. From now on, the leg of Zhongyong Hou will be considered useless."
Luo Chengjing pondered for a while and said, "Can you find out who is the one who is taking action?"
Ning Wang said: "The news found on Zhongyong Hou is that it seems that the same group of people were fighting against Zhongyong Hou Zi at that time."
The son of the Zhongyong Hou, Lu Siyuan, actually did not die at the hands of the Beimo people, but was attacked by his own people from behind when he was fighting against the third prince of Beimo.
If Lu Siyuan hadn't had the quick reaction and perseverance, he had the backhand to kill the person who attacked him, and then he had to catch up with the third prince of Beimo who took the opportunity to escape and strangle him, the situation in Beimo and Dayong would not have been so fast.
Just settle down.
Unexpectedly, after that unsuccessful, the person who was acting behind his back would choose to take action again when Beimo submitted the surrender letter to Da Yong.
The person who was acting behind his back did not want to see the situation in Beimo and Dayong stabilized. It would be fine if this person was a Beimo person, but judging from some evidence found by Zhongyong Hou, this person is very likely to be
They are the ones who are from Da Yong, which really makes people feel hateful.
After King Ning left, Luo Chengjing sat alone for a while, then asked Lian Yongwang, and said, "What's the movement of the person you are watching recently?"
Lian Yongwang shook his head and said, "Go back to the emperor, no."
Luo Chengjing said lightly, and then ordered: "Look at it carefully, don't make any mistakes."
"Yes, the emperor."
Not long after King Ning returned to the capital, Zhongyong Hou and others also returned to the capital.
As soon as Hou Zhongyong returned to the capital, he dragged his lame leg into the palace to meet the emperor.
In Jianzhang Palace, Luo Chengjing looked at the military talisman handed to him, and said with a stern face, "What is Zhongyong Hou doing?"
Although Zhongyong Hou was sitting on the chair, he bent slightly and looked very respectful and said: "I am now a piece of my leg is broken, and there is no possibility of going to the battlefield again. If this military talisman is left in my hands, it will not be possible.
If it is appropriate, please ask the emperor to take back the military talisman and hand it over to a more suitable person."
Luo Chengjing shook his head and said unhappily: "Does the Zhongyong Hou think I am not the kind of magnanimous king? Your Hou Mansion has just made great contributions to Da Yong, so I took the military talisman from your Zhongyong Hou Mansion, and you let the people in the world
How do you view me?"
