Xuanyuan Zixin ran out of oil many days ago. After his transaction with Zhang Xiaowu that day, he lay in bed unable to get up. He had to wait for his urine and excrement. He died of illness within a few days. He enjoyed prosperity and wealth in his life.
, and was always on guard, and tolerated it for so many years, and after experiencing a huge failure, he still went crazy.
When Xuanyuan Zixun died, there was no one around him except an old handyman, which was extremely sad.
After everyone in Mucheng learned about the death of Xuanyuan Zixun, they felt very complicated. In addition to Zhang Xiaowu, there were many people who had hatred against him. However, everyone knew that the deposed prince was not such a bad person. They could only sigh and said in unison:
"He finally died."
But the etiquette of the deposed prince's funeral is a problem. Should it follow the royal etiquette or the common people's etiquette? Even Wu Song, who has read more than ten thousand volumes, is at a loss. According to the royal etiquette, they are worried that someone will impeach Mu Cheng for evil intentions. If
According to the common people's etiquette, they were also worried that someone would impeach Mucheng for being disrespectful to the royal family.
Finally, it was Hu Li who suggested that Xuanyuan Zixun was also a member of the Qinglong Army. Although he was a deserter, he could still be considered a soldier. It was better to bury him according to military rites. Zhang Xiaowu listened to his suggestion and buried him not far from the north of the city.
Next to the tomb of Shi Jing, the deposed prince probably never thought that after his death, he would be buried next to Shi Jing who was killed by him.
On the day of the funeral of the deposed prince Xuanyuan Zixun, many wounded soldiers who stayed in Mucheng to recuperate came. However, they did not come to mourn, but to curse. Many people cursed and cried bitterly, for themselves and for Pao Ze.
, Fortunately, Zhang Xiaowu ordered not to destroy Xuanyuan Zixun's tombstone, so no one dug up the grave in retaliation for the deposed prince.
While everyone was paying homage to the deposed prince, Li Qing quickly rolled a note he had written long ago into a roll and stuffed it into a reed festival. Then he stopped in front of an old woman's stall selling cooking cakes on the street. He looked around.
After that, he picked nine pancakes and said, "I want these. Nine is the number of the supreme. Old lady, can you wrap them up?"
The old woman was very surprised and said: "Nine cooking cakes? Can you objectively eat them?"
"Why can't you eat it? I'm a soldier." Li Qing laughed and inadvertently dropped the reed knot into the cooking cakes. The old woman picked out the cooking cakes and put the reed knot into her arms.
Li Qing and Zou Zhou, the old woman immediately closed the stall. After returning home, she took the basket from the roof, opened it, took out the pigeons, and tied the reed knots to the pigeons' legs. The sky was getting dark, and when she saw no one around, she immediately
He released the pigeons, and when he turned around, there was still an old woman selling cooking cakes that no one noticed.
The pigeon flew for an hour and then crossed the Lianglang Pass and landed in a place called Xigu Village in the Lianglang Valley. This is the only resting place in the long and narrow Lianglang Valley.
There are about two hundred households in Xigu Village, half of which are in the inn business, and the other half are those who provide things for the inn. Those who go to Lianglang City from Huizhou and Daizhou, and those who enter Lianglang City from Saibei and then go to the Central Plains, most of them are
Most people will choose to rest here for a while or eat something before going on the road.
The pigeons flew to Niu Dawei's home. Niu Dawei raised more than a hundred chickens in his home. He usually made a living on this. One hundred chickens laid eggs every day and sold them to various inns. His business was really good, and he even built a building.
We built a yard and hired four or five tenants who specialized in breeding.
Everyone in Xigu Village knows that Niu Da is a smart man. He not only raises chickens but also ducks and geese, and even raises two horses and four dogs. In a few years, he has become a wealthy family in Xigu Village.
People also know that Niu Dawei likes to raise pigeons, but the pigeons don't have much meat. I don't know why he raises them. It's just a hobby of the rich. Niu Dawei feeds his own grid every day, and tonight he makes a habit of watching it When he picked up his pigeon, he immediately found that there was an extra pigeon. He quickly stepped forward to catch the pigeon, untied the reed knot on the pigeon's leg, copied the content of the note in the reed knot, and then tied the reed knot to another pigeon. On the legs of a pigeon. That night, the servants of Niu Dawei's family rode their horses towards Longdu, and early the next morning, a pigeon from Niu Dawei's family also flew towards Longdu City.
This was a double delivery from Jin Yiwei. In order to be safer, after Li Qing sent the letter with the code to the transfer station, Niu Dawei deciphered it and delivered it to Longdu City using carrier pigeons and manpower respectively. This way, if the carrier pigeon accidentally , Jin Yiwei can also guarantee successful delivery in the least amount of time.
The two ways for the emperor to obtain information were memorials from various places and secret letters from the Jinyiwei. Compared with memorials from various places, the secret letters from the Jinyiwei were faster and more direct, and the contents of the secret letters were more credible. After Zhang Xiaowu returned to the city, he was thanked. Memorial, but this memorial is still on the way. Emperor Dade immediately got the secret letter in gold clothes that the deposed prince died suddenly.
The deposed prince is dead, and the third brother who has always been against him and weighs on him is dead.
Emperor Dade was painting when he got the news. His brushes fell to the ground, and all kinds of emotions came out of his heart. After a long time, he whispered: "Is he dead?"
Wang Jingzhi bowed and said: "Yes, he is dead. The last secret message said that he was seriously ill and died within a few days." Since Du Shanbo came to power, hundreds of officials have taken refuge with him, and Zhang Dang also The troops died down, but the Jin Yiwei led by Wang Jingzhi pledged their allegiance to the emperor and drew a clear line with Du Shanbo.
Although Dushanbo tried to win over him in every possible way, Wang Jingzhi resolutely did not allow the Jinyiwei to have any contact with Dushanbo, and even killed seventeen Jinyiwei officials who accepted Dushanbo's benefits. Wang Jingzhi also knew that being loyal to His Majesty was the key to Jinyiwei. The mission of the Yiwei, the Three Thousand Gold Yiwei has long been engraved in their bones to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country from top to bottom. Wang Jingzhi did not hesitate to find Emperor Dade, swear allegiance to Emperor Dade, and handed over the list of Jinyiwei to the emperor.
Emperor Dade also praised Wang Jingzhi after receiving the allegiance of all the Golden Guards. He conferred the title of Third Grade Sword Guard on Wang Jingzhi and gave him the sword Shang Fang. Wang Jingzhi finally no longer had to hide his identity and started to work as a gold medalist in a grand manner. Yiwei Yushuai sits in the Jinyiwei Yamen and commands the world's spies.
The Great Virtue Emperor was sitting on the pear blossom chair, looking at the colorful sunset in the distance, with a lot of emotions in his heart. If he was born as a prince, he would never have peace. If he was not blessed with wealth, he would be withered bones.
As an emperor, Emperor Dade knew the importance of forbearance. Because of his forbearance, he finally defeated the third prince Xuanyuan Zixun. And facing the sixty-year-old Du Shanbo, what could he not tolerate? This year he also When he was less than thirty years old, even if the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty listened to Uncle Dushan, how many years would he have to live? And when Emperor Dade was in the most difficult time, he chose Wang Jingzhi to be loyal to him. Emperor Dade trusted Wang Jingzhi very much. He was also the only foreign minister who brought a sword to an audience.
Emperor Dade pondered for a moment and asked: "Commander Yu, this ghost general went to Quanyi for peace talks in person, and also led away the armies of Beiyi and Mohe. How do you think we should reward him?"
