Nirvana In Fire - Chapter 152
Originally scheduled to return to the Spring Hunt on April 15, due to the chaos of the Qingli Army, it was delayed until late April.
There were only a few hundred of the three thousand imprisoned soldiers escorted when they came, and a few of the more unfortunate escorts and courtiers died in the last **** night.
During Emperor Liang’s life, he had experienced two rebellions of this size. The previous time he was an attacker, and this time he became the target of others.
The two winners were him. The first time he won the throne, the second time he didn’t even know what he had won.
As for the so-called “Qi Wang Mousui Case” that caused a tremendous wave 13 years ago and ended up with the blood of tens of thousands of people, now I think about it carefully. In fact, there is no real sword shadow flashing through the eyes of the emperor. Eyelashes.
This was especially intense when the emperor looked at the forbidden army around him with a trembling gaze.
Outside the Imperial City, the civil and military ministers headed by the staying Zhongshuling were welcoming the emperor. There were no queens and no honorable kings. The two thousand imprisoned troops immediately took over the defense around Emperor Liang, and all Jicheng troops withdrew Go out of the capital, camp in the suburbs, and wait for the reward to return to the original place.
At this point, Emperor Liang finally settled down and began to prepare for the storm he had brewed all the way.
Unlike Xia Jiang who fled, Yu Wang did not intend to escape at all, and the Queen did not escape.
Because they did not have the ability to escape and left the wealth and honor of Beijing, they could not even survive.
The next day when Emperor Liang returned to Luang, Yuwang Manmen became the second royal family to live in a “cold-shaped” cell. I wondered when his prisoner’s clothes curled up on the stone floor. The eldest brother who never bowed his head under heavy shackles.
Due to the request of the concubine Jing, Queen Yan was not listed as a rebel party, but she was a member of the Jingshi division.
She did not stop any actions of Yu Wang. She also issued an imprisonment to restrain the army, and the words “being cheated” could not wash out all her crimes.
Disposal is already inevitable.
Yan Que asked for the removal of the lordship and honorary position of the Yan clan in order to show atonement.
Emperor Liang didn’t know what to do because he didn’t give permission. After he was left in the middle, he disappeared as if there was no response.
When the inner court handed out rituals of hunting sacrifices to all his children in early May, he said that Yujin still got his share.
The preservation of Yan Shi made many of them have no obvious party honorary king, but they were relieved to secretly support his courtiers because he was an old disciple of Yan Taishi.
In the end, there were a total of 27 judges who were judged to be honorary kings, and only two of them were above three ranks. Although all the remaining princes were punished by fines and punishments for their persecution, they ran through the streets of Kyoto. It’s much lighter.
For 13 years, the old case, which has been almost deliberately forgotten by people, is inevitably turned over by many old officials from the depths of memory. One by one comparison, secretly lamenting the time and time, can kill a ruthlessly. iron hand.
Soaked so soft.
But for Yu Wang, who was at the center of the storm, he did not feel the kindness of his father at all.
He regretted it, and regretted that he shouldn’t trust the unicorn talent.
Regret under the encouragement of Xia Jiang to break the wreck.
But he was also clear at the same time, even if the matter came again.
He will still make the same choice.
Because his ambition and obsession with the throne have been immersed in his blood and bone marrow, becoming the main motivation and goal of his life.
He could never lie down at the foot of another brother like Yu Wang and Huai Wang, and leaned forward to him as a courtier.
Now that he loses, the ending will be death.
And this kind of death is not the same as the elder brother of the year. He knew that he would be banished from the royal sacrifice forever. No matter how many 13 years had passed, no one would want to rehabilitate him.
This is not only because he has no grievances, but also because he is not that Xiao Jingyu who smiles and has no one else.
There will never be a second Xiao Jingyu in the world. Even Jing Jing, who now has the place of the East Palace in his hands, can only look at the man’s back.
“Have you found no trace of Xia Jiang here?” In Su Zhai, the visiting place shook his head earnestly, “He is really an old solitary raccoon, and he blames me for not checking …”
“Xia Jiang’s arrest is a matter of time. I’m not in a hurry,” Mei Changsu sighed. “My anxiety is Sister Xia Dong. Your Royal Highness has already asked for forgiveness. When can I get someone out?”
Meng Zhi already knew about Nie Feng at this time, and of course he could understand Mei Changsu ’s urgency, but he should be more aware of the current situation in the palace, and immediately persuaded: “You should be at ease first, and forgiveness is only forgiveness of death. , From light to fall, it is not not to fall.
Xia Jiang’s rebellion and hiding, His Majesty is angry with the hanging mirror department, how can it be so easy to get people out? If King Jing ’s strength is too great, His Majesty might have to raise doubts, do n’t you dare to tell King Jing Nie Feng to wait just because of this? What’s more, Nie Feng has heard you explain the cause and effect before and after, and he is not uneasy. As long as Xia Dong is finally okay, waiting a month or two is a good thing. “
In fact, Mei Changsu understood what he persuaded. He sighed without answering, and turned his eyes to the light figure in the middle, saying, “Gong Yu, don’t do it anymore, go rest.”
Gong Yu, who was holding a delicate incense burner and smoked the tent, heard her head drooping, and a red cloud flew over her cheek. She whispered: “I want to smoke more evenly. The Sect Master sleeps better at night.” Mei Chang Su Wen said, “I said that you are not my maid, you don’t have to wait for me like this.”
Meng Zhi looked at Gong Yu’s pink face and said with a smile: “Is Gong Gong moved into Su Zhai? I think today is as if the house is different from usual.”
“Master Mongolian made fun.
The elder brother Li still takes care of the house, how dare I intervene. Gong Yulian stepped out from the middle, stopped about five steps in front of Mei Changsu, hesitated, and then moved closer to two steps, bowing her head and said: “Gong Yu just heard that the Sect Master had trouble, but thought I got an idea, I do n’t know if I can help the suzerain … “
“You mean Xia Dong?”
“Yes……”
“What do you have in mind, come and listen?”
“Miya Yu knows the art of dressing easily. Although it is impossible to hide people for a long time, or to completely replace with another person, the light in the prison is dim.
At most, only the jailer visits every day, and if it can be successfully concealed for a few days, it is not known … “
Mei Changsu is so smart.
When I heard it, I understood, “You mean let us take you to the prison.
Exchange you with Xia Dong? “
“Yes.
General Nie and Mrs. Nie are so affectionate. I can imagine the mood of seeing them soon. But when Mrs. Nie can be released from prison is still uncertain. Let me go in for a few days, at least They see each other first and talk to each other … “
Mei Changsu looked down for a moment.
Xu Xu asked, “Are you sure?”
“Miya Yu is confident that she will not be pierced.”
“Are you different from Xia Dong in height?”
“It needs to be a little shorter, but I have special shoes that can be raised taller, so it’s almost the same.”
“Your idea is feasible … as long as you are careful not to let Xia Dong be accused during that time, probably you can hide the past …” Mei Changsu Ning looked at Gong Yu, “but let you go to heaven for her It’s going to be bitter. “
Looking at him this way, Gong Yu’s heartbeat spontaneously accelerated a lot, and said softly: “I can share the worries of the suzerain.
Gong Yu doesn’t feel bitter … “
“That’s all right,” Meng Zhi smiled together, “You always have this thing hanging in your heart.
I am also worried.
I think the strategy of the palace girl is good, although it is a prison.
It’s okay to find an excuse to visit a prison.
Just do it.
I’ll arrange it, so don’t worry about it. “
Mei Changsu also had a faint smile on his face.
Gently said to Miya Yu: “Then you will be wronged. Go ahead and prepare early, and then listen to the command of the chieftain.”
“Yes.” Gong Yu pursed her lips, her eyes flashed with joy, and she squatted with a slight blessing, slowly retreating.
Meng Zhi stretched her neck to look at her back, and then looked back at Mei Changsu, raised her eyebrows and said: “Xiaoshu, I am already a very thick person, but I think even I can figure it out……”
“You still continue to be bold,” Mei Changsu said coldly, “Is the commander busy now? Jing Wang now has no time to manage the patrol camp, and tells you to find a suitable partner for Ouyang. Are you ready? “
“I recommended a few. King Jing thought Zhu Shouchun was good. He was my former deputy commander. He was absolutely honest and reliable.” Meng Zhi said, leaning his head together and lowering his voice, “There is also news The inner court has already given orders to Si Tianjian for divination Ji Ji.
It is estimated that in two days’ time, the news will spread throughout the city. “
“Is Prince Jiri auspicious?” Mei Changsu smiled faintly. “This is not an accident.”
“Although not surprisingly, it’s a happy event in the end. Years of wishes, you are getting closer step by step. You should also be happy.” Patted his shoulders with a sincere heart. “Your Majesty has been in trouble recently, and you can’t go up.
After the prince was established, King Jing was rightly in charge of the country.
You have struggled all these years, so is it not for this? Why is it so dull? “
Mei Chang Su Mo didn’t answer, turned his head to look out the window, saw Li Gang hurriedly walked in from outside the yard, obviously brought some information, could not help narrowing his eyes.
“Sovereign, news from Qianzhou Flying Pigeon …”
“Come in.”
“Yes.” Li Gang stepped forward and clenched his fists, “Xin Yu, Xie Yu is dead.”
Meng Zhi was suddenly taken aback and asked, “How did you die?”
“The government’s conclusion is unexpected.
He worked hard in the quarry and fell on the slope, killing him. “
“It’s so coincident?” Mengzhi touched his forehead stunnedly. “But thinking of the sins he committed, it was so cheap to die.”
“It’s cheaper, but he is more useful than dead.” Mei Changsu’s eyes flashed a ruthless light, “Xia Jiang’s rebellion, the old emperor’s twilight, the new prince’s prestige is high, and he wants to reexamine the old case of Chi Yan. At this time, it was just a chance to hook up.
With a move in his heart, he asked, “You mean …”
“Xie Yu is a man who lives with pity. He is now free from capital punishment, and he will not be willing to turn the old case out, so he is useless alive.
The opportunity I need is in the hands of Princess Changyang, who can only be taken out of the confession after he dies. “
“I understand what you mean.
But will you be in a hurry? Meng Zhi asked with some anxiety, “Jing Wang has not yet registered, I think it is better to stabilize again.”
Mei Changsu glanced at him and couldn’t help laughing. “Brother Meng, you forgot that we received the Flying Pigeon Biography? Xie Yu is now a hard labor prisoner, and the most news of his death is through the stagecoach. Not even qualified for expedited.
Coming from Qianzhou this way, when Princess Yang came to receive the message, it was almost a month or two later, and the time was just right. “
“Oh!” Meng Zhi knocked on his head. “Yes, I think things are not fine. Your exquisite heart and soul, no one can match it.”
“In the past few months, we have to be quiet and stable. Jing Jing’s status is different now, and he has to work harder in political affairs.
Fortunately, after two or two years of adjustment, there are more handy courtiers and the situation is not bad. Mei Changsu raised her lips gently, with a look of relief. “The things that have been set up to close positions in the plague years are done beautifully. Now who dares to say that His Royal Highness King Jing is not good at civil affairs?”
“It’s weird to say,” Meng Zhi shrugged. “He’s just like you now, with so many happy things, but people still look dull.
You are bored for the poison on Nie Feng, what is he bored? “
“You also think about it for him. Now that he is getting heavier and heavier, he will inevitably feel tired.” Mei Changsu sighed, “I still have you around you to talk about your heart, who is there next to him? The general, the strategist … Although the concubine of Jing Fei can relieve him, in the end it is through the palace.
Meng Zhi was said by him. He couldn’t help staying for a long time. His heart was very sour. Some words wanted to say. When he looked at Mei Chang Su Yuyu’s face, he felt unspeakable.
“Sect Master,” Zhen Ping’s voice suddenly sounded outside the door, “General Nie woke up.”
Mei Changsu suddenly raised his eyebrows and pulled his arms. “Go, let’s go to accompany Brother Nie. Wei Zheng has been in his room. Let’s go again. He must be taller than his rare cheerfulness. There was a trance, as if he saw the young silver robe again, and he shouted with a big smile on his face: “Go, let’s go to Brother Nie, than an arrow!” But in a short moment, the scene in front was clear again, only pale His face and light smile did not show any traces of the past.
“Xiaoshu,” the forbidden army commander grabbed his shoulder and burst out, “I think … should I tell King Jing?”
