In the twenty-fifth year of Emperor Yong's reign, a censor impeached Pei Yun, the commander of the northern camp of the Imperial Guard, because the curtains were thin and not repaired, which violated filial piety. Everyone knew that he was wronged and did not dare to defend him, but Taizong was willing to protect him.
——"Yong Shi·The Chronicles of Taizong"
Just when Qin Qing was about to forcibly search, the car curtain suddenly moved, and a young man in Tsing Yi stood out, standing on the shaft of the car, standing with his hands behind his back, his expression as cold and arrogant as ice and snow, under the faint moonlight, he looked aloof and independent, unlike the world.
Mortal. And the most chilling thing is that his pair of ice-clear eyes looked at him so coldly. Qin Qing suddenly felt that this man regarded people like herself as inanimate objects that could be easily damaged.
, but without the slightest feeling of guilt.
He calmed down and said: "Brother Li never leaves Jiang Sima's side. He is so loyal and loyal. I have no ill intentions. Just let me take a look inside the car."
Xiao Shunzi smiled coldly and said: "Jiang Sima respects both the General and General Qin very much. I didn't expect that it was General Qin who came to show off the young master today."
Qin Qing felt a chill in his heart. He had seen this arrogant young man in his own home. If Jiang Zhe hadn't said a word, no one would have dared to say that he wouldn't have killed Prince Li An with one palm. In the past year, both the government and the public in Chang'an
We already know that there is such a young master, Evil Shadow Li Shun, with evil martial arts, evil heart, and ruthless actions. Such a person is loyal to only one person and is willing to be his shadow. I don’t know who gave him this nickname.
Yes, but it is very vivid. When he stood behind Jiang Zhe, he really looked like a shadow. No one would have thought that such a master would do things that only slaves would do, and without any complaints, but when he got angry
He was ruthless when killing people. A few months ago, someone took advantage of King Yong to go out for a spring outing and ambushed and assassinated him. This was fine. Who would have thought that Jiang Zhe was in better health that day and actually went out with King Yong and narrowly escaped being affected.
It was this Li Shun who killed all the dozen assassins who came to assassinate him in a rage. According to the people who cleaned up afterward, none of the corpses were intact. The death was so miserable that those who
The imperial guards and the gangsters, who were used to seeing dead people, had nightmares for several days after returning home.
But Qin Qing thought again, if he let go so gently, how could he explain it to Han You, so he bravely said: "The last general is also responsible for his responsibilities. Please forgive me, Brother Li." After saying that, he rode forward, thinking about Li.
Mr. Shun can't kill court generals in the street.
But Xiao Shunzi smiled coldly, with a strong murderous intent in his eyes, and was about to raise his right hand. The imperial guards led by Qin Qing exclaimed at the same time, unsheathing their swords, and the guards of Prince Yong's Mansion also immediately drew their swords.
The sword was drawn out, and for a moment, murderous intent was rampant in front of the Suzaku Gate, and the situation was about to break out.
Unexpectedly, Li Shun just raised his right hand high, and there was a gold medal in his hand. Qin Qing raised his eyes and saw the unique pattern on the gold medal and the four characters "I am here in person" surrounded by nine golden dragons. Qin Qing
Qing Yiyi exclaimed, but he knew that this gold medal was awarded to His Highness King Yong by the emperor, allowing him to patrol the sky on behalf of the sky, and intervene in all military and political affairs wherever he went. There is only such a side in the world today, and it is only King Yong
He is cautious and has a great reputation. He can do whatever he wants without a gold medal, so few people have actually seen this gold medal. Unexpectedly, King Yong actually handed the gold medal to Jiang Zhe. King Yong was very interested in that Nan.
Chu Jiangchen trusted him so much that he lent him all the royal gold medals that were as valuable as his life. Qin Qing couldn't help but feel a little jealous, but in any case, the most important thing now was not to think about these things. He quickly said hello and brought all the imperial troops with him.
He dismounted his horse and prostrated himself, saying long live the horse.
Xiao Shunzi smiled faintly, put away the gold medal and said: "General Qin has done his duty faithfully, and Lord Sima should respect him, but this matter is unusual. If the general searches the car today, I am afraid that there will be no peace in Prince Yong's palace in the future. General Qin
, His Highness King Yong is the current prince, and he is also the Marshal of Heavenly Ce appointed by the Holy Emperor. He will never do anything to harm the body of the Yong Kingdom. General Qin must be careful in his actions in the future, and don't become a sword in someone else's hand.
"
Qin Qing had no choice but to say yes, and was very angry in his heart. Just as he was about to say a few perfunctory words, a group of warriors came from a distance on flying horses. Qin Qing looked and saw that those people were all in the uniform of the guards of Prince Yong's Mansion. The leader had long eyebrows and phoenix eyes.
, with handsome appearance and extraordinary demeanor, people will feel close to him as soon as they see him. Just looking at the golden bow on his body and the specially made quiver in front of the saddle, you know that this person is Sun Ji, the eldest son of Jin Gong. He has arrived on Pegasus.
Approaching, he first saluted Qin Qing, and then said loudly: "Your Highness has been waiting for a long time and has not seen Lord Sima return to his residence, so a special general has been sent to greet him."
Jing Chi muttered: "It's not like someone is blocking the way." Xiao Shunzi gave him a cold look, and Jing Chi immediately fell silent. Over the past year, I have punished him for copying and endorsing books, usually under the supervision of Xiao Shunzi.
Now, a wink from Xiao Shunzi could silence him.
At that moment, we sent Qin Qing away politely. Xiao Shunzi carefully looked at the guard who secretly advised Qin Qing and remembered his appearance clearly. Then I finally returned to Prince Yong's Mansion. As soon as I arrived in the hall
, I heard King Yong say angrily: "Suiyun, something happened, look -" Seeing Fang Yuanxin, his expression changed, and the majesty of the king suddenly enveloped the entire hall, making people feel afraid to resist.
idea.
Fang Yuanxin somehow managed to step forward and prostrate himself to the ground. He didn't wake up until his knees fell to the ground and thought to himself, what's wrong with me?
I already bowed and said in salute: "Your Highness, this is Jiang Yong, Jianghou Ye's general, General Fangyuan Xinfang."
King Yong was stunned for a moment, laughed and stepped forward to help Fang Yuanxin up, and said: "I have heard for a long time that General Fang is good at water warfare and is famous all over the world. I heard that the general Fang fought in the East China Sea a few years ago and fought a series of bloody battles, which will invade the sea.
The Kou were wiped out and conquered. Many merchants and fishermen living on the sea set up longevity tablets for General Fang. General Fang made great contributions to the peace and tranquility of the sea. Although Guishang is still divided overseas, but all
He is from the Yanhuang lineage, and I am extremely impressed by Lord Jiang’s achievements.”
Fang Yuanxin only felt warm in his heart. He did not expect that King Yong would now praise people like him so much. He said: "Your Highness is too complimentary. Although the Lord is alone overseas, his heart is towards the Central Plains. Although he still has great respect for the country,
The Yong court is filled with resentment, but it is still very happy every time when His Highness's glorious military exploits are mentioned."
King Yong sighed: "I think back then, my cousin and I were childhood playmates and we were brothers and sisters. But fate has played a trick on us. Now we have become the enemies of my father's murder. I feel very sad every time I think about it. If possible, please help me."
The general advised his cousin that even for the sake of future generations, he should not stay abroad for a long time. He must have missed the beautiful mountains and rivers of the Central Plains very much. If his cousin was willing to return to the Central Plains, Zhi would be willing to apologize to his cousin and let his cousin be killed or beaten.
"
Fang Yuanxin's eyes were a little dim, and he said: "Your Highness's deep friendship will be conveyed to the Lord, but Your Highness should know that the Lord hates His Highness the most. Although His Highness led the army to defeat the old Marquis' army, this is not the case.
The old marquis was too ambitious and refused to accept the title granted by Dayong. However, if the old marquis died in the battle, although the Lord was sad, he would not insist on revenge, but the old marquis was.
Being assassinated by that poisonous woman Fan Huiyao, I will never forget this humiliation for the rest of my life. If I don't take revenge, I will not rest in peace even if I die."
King Yong sighed again and said: "General Fang sits down and talks first. Let's talk about these things later. Things will be solved one day. But I don't know if General Fang comes to my humble home this time. Is there anything I can help you with? As long as you don't
Zhi will never refuse to interfere in major social affairs."
Fang Yuanxin quickly spoke out about seeking medical treatment, his eyes pleading and worrying at the same time. He naturally knew that in this way, his master's handle would be held by King Yong, but no matter what, the young master's glimmer of hope would be lost.
Can't miss it like this.
Sure enough, after listening to Fang Yuanxin's words, Yongwang Li Zhi looked a little hesitant and distressed. Not long after he sat down, he stood up again, walked around the hall a few times with his hands behind his back, looked at Fang Yuanxin, and then looked at
Jiang Zhe, who had already been sitting aside, yawning and drowsy, finally said: "General Fang, I won't hide it from you. If Mr. Jiang hadn't been in such bad health, I would have asked him to go there anyway.
Donghai, but since he was unfortunately assassinated, even though he has been raised for more than a year, he is still weak and weak. Unless he travels slowly along the way and rests for a few days if there is any slight mistake, I can rest assured that he will travel far, but
It has been like this for a year and a half, and I am afraid that he will not be able to reach the East China Sea, which will delay it for a long time. Not to mention that the king cannot do without him. As time goes by, this matter will inevitably spread, and then there will be another
What should we do? You also know that the others are not deaf or blind. I cannot predict what will happen at that time, but Mr. Jiang will definitely not be able to reach the East China Sea."
Fang Yuanxin's heart felt cold. He knew that King Yong didn't tell any lies, so could he just send the young master to Chang'an?
King Yong gave him a sympathetic look, and then continued: "At this moment, I have two options. One is to secretly inform my father about this matter, and my father may acquiesce in allowing this child to go to Chang'an to live in peace.
I'm sick, but since this, Mr. Jiang has to make some concessions, or his cousin will find a way to send his nephew to Chang'an, hiding it from other people's eyes. If everything goes well, the nephew will be free to return to the East China Sea, but I might as well
Frankly speaking, the various forces in Chang'an are now so complicated that I cannot guarantee that the news will not be leaked."
Fang Yuanxin thought for a long time and said: "I will inform the Lord as soon as possible and ask him to make a decision. If there is any news, I hope that His Highness can help."
King Yong smiled and said: "Your Majesty and I are close relatives, how could we harm each other? As long as my nephew comes to Chang'an, I will never let him go. It's already late at night. I should have kept you, but you can't."
Knowing that I have to avoid suspicion in everything now, I will send someone to escort you out."
Fang Yuanxin bowed down and said, "Thank you very much, Your Highness. Regardless of whether things come true or not, I and the Lord will be grateful to Your Highness for your thoughtfulness."
Li Zhi sighed: "This is also unlucky timing. You know some things even if I don't tell you. I really can't let Jiang Sima travel far."
Fang Yuanxin thought to himself, now you brothers are fighting to the death for the throne, and Jiang Zhe is a confidant you value so much, no wonder you refuse to let him go, not to mention that Jiang Zhe's health is too bad, we are talking here,
He almost fainted.
Just when Fang Yuanxin was about to leave, I said: "General Fang, wait a minute." As I said that, I took two jade boxes from Xiao Shunzi who had just slipped out, and said lazily: "
I have only heard of sea snakes like Rouge Jade, so I have to see the injuries before they can be treated. But I can’t let General Fang go home empty-handed. There are two medicines here, one of which can cure most common poisons, and the effect is very good.
, at least it can prevent Young Master Ling's poisonous energy from attacking his heart. One pill a day of another medicine can make people fall asleep, but it will not harm their body. This way, Young Master Ling does not have to suffer unbearable pain every day."
Fang Yuanxin was overjoyed after hearing this and said, "I would like to thank Mr. Jiang for your kindness on behalf of my young master." He thought that it was an incredible joy to be able to temporarily alleviate the young master's pain, so he accepted the medicine box with great gratitude.
I smiled and said, "I originally used this medicine myself. It was just because my wound was sore and itchy that I couldn't sleep, so I specially prepared this medicine. I didn't expect the effect to be very good, but it was very troublesome to prepare.
And this prescription cannot be leaked, otherwise I will write a prescription for you."
After Fang Yuanxin left, I sighed deeply and asked, "Your Highness, has something big happened?"
Only then did Li Zhi remember what he was going to say, and said with a wry smile: "Tonight, my father received a remonstrance, impeaching Pei Yun for not repairing the thin curtain, which is unfilial."
I was slightly stunned and asked: "Your Highness, Pei Yun dotes on his concubine, alienates his legitimate wife, and makes her intend to harm his concubine and his youngest son. This can be said to be a thin veil, but it violates filial piety. How can I say that?
"
Li Zhi smiled bitterly and said: "How can I put it, that Cai Yushi is really bold. He accused Pei Yun of neglecting his parents' wife who was engaged to him, which made his parents sad and worried, so this was unfilial. After all, since this incident,
Pei Yun's father was angry because of this and was ill in bed. Moreover, the censor also said in a vague way that Miss Xue is still in perfect condition, which shows that Pei Yun has lost his humanity."
I said in astonishment: "The imperial censor should pay attention to national affairs, but why does he also take care of the affairs in the boudoir?"
Li Zhi sneered: "For them, it is better to help the tiger than to share the country's worries. Let's not talk about him. What should we do about this matter? We can't let Pei Yun's father write a letter saying that he is Pei Yun's concubine and neglects his legitimate wife.
It makes the family uneasy. In this way, Pei Yun is really unfilial. Since ancient times, only sons have taken the blame for their fathers, but no father has taken the blame for his son."
I was also a little troubled. I never thought that someone would write something like this and label him as unfilial. But I couldn't think of any way. The world has been governed by filial piety throughout the ages. Pei Yunruo has been accused of being unfilial.
, I'm afraid that the official career will be difficult from now on. From now on, I'm afraid that the iron-barrel North Camp of the Forbidden Army will change hands.
Xiao Shunzi suddenly said coldly: "The emperor may not think so?"
King Yong and I both raised our eyes and looked up, but Xiao Shunzi stopped talking. King Yong and I quickly realized that the emperor was wary of Fengyi Sect. If he knew that Pei Yun was unwilling to marry a disciple of Fengyi Sect,
, I’m afraid I won’t blame in my heart. After thinking about it, I said strangely: “The prince and the others may not be clear about this, so why are they doing something in vain?”
Xiao Shunzi smiled slightly and said: "Your Highness and the Young Master are confused. If this kind of thing spreads out, I'm afraid it's Miss Xue who will be shameless. If a woman is despised like this, and her reputation is ruined, I'm afraid she will die."
In other words, when the time comes, Xue Ju, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, will definitely write a letter to criticize General Pei. No matter what, General Pei cannot say that his actions are faultless.
The arm bow is a powerful weapon for defending the city. When the time comes, Mr. Xue will be able to drag General Pei down if he takes the blame for his lax goddaughter. Even if His Majesty is partial, he will have to suspend General Pei temporarily. I am afraid that he will wait until Pei
When the general was reinstated, the North Camp of the Forbidden Army was no longer under control, and General Pei was a new military general who had recently surrendered to His Highness. Your Highness was unable to protect him, and Xue Ju had become your Highness's enemy. This killed three birds with one stone."
Li Zhi felt a chill in his heart when he heard this, and said with admiration: "Xiao Shunzi, you really have seen clearly, but I didn't expect it. I'm afraid that tomorrow this seal will spread throughout the government and the public, and Miss Xue will have to commit suicide even if she doesn't want to. You said now
But what should we do? Pei Yun is a famous general, and I really can't bear to let him be tainted."
After I understood the joints involved, I sighed: "This strategy is indeed cruel, but there is no way to solve it. The best way is that if General Pei's concubine dies, then Miss Xue kills people, and Pei Yun's actions will not matter.
It's not too much, but it's a pity that it won't work. Mrs. Ru has been cleared of the remaining poison. Many people know this. Another way is to start with Miss Xue. If she is willing to write a letter to apologize and say that she is guilty of God, she is willing to
If you become a monk and practice pure cultivation to atone for your sins, then others will no longer be able to blame Pei Yun."
Li Zhi smiled bitterly and said: "It would be good if she is willing, but I'm afraid she won't give in. The disciples of Fengyi Sect are all arrogant and arrogant. I'm afraid they will refuse to admit defeat until they die."
I smiled slightly and said: "How can a young girl want to die? I'm afraid she regrets marrying General Pei now. The problem is that if she refuses to write a confession, she might commit suicide. Life is precious, she
How could she not cherish it? If she was given the opportunity to change her name, go far away, marry a husband and have children, she wouldn't be unwilling. It's just that it's a bit difficult to leave this matter to whom. If it's not done well,
I’m just afraid that it will be self-defeating.”
Li Zhi thought for a while, his eyes lit up, and he said: "I have an idea. Cheng Shu, the Duke of Wei, has always made good friends with his ministers, and he can also talk to Xue Ju. Moreover, this old ghost has the most ideas and a good heart. Xue Ju
Ju will definitely not be wary of him, and Wei Guogong has a humorous temperament. The children of many important ministers in the court regard him as an uncle and elder. Miss Xue was once one of them. Even now when she sees Wei Guogong, she is very affectionate. He went to talk to Xiang Bin
Success. Without further ado, I will go to the Duke of Wei immediately. He has always supported the underachievers and will never let Pei Yun receive untrue accusations."
That night Li Zhi personally arrived at the Duke of Wei's Mansion. After a long talk, Cheng Shu flew to Xue's Mansion. After entering Xue's Mansion, it was just after the morning meeting. At this time, Miss Xue had just learned about the memorial and was in the process of
When she was desperate, she was about to raise her sword to kill herself. Cheng Shu shouted, broke into the room, and knocked down her long sword. If it had been anyone else, Miss Xue might have become angry, but she saw that when she was a child, she often let herself be
Uncle Cheng was riding a horse, and she finally couldn't help but kneel on the ground and burst into tears.
