Eunuch's professionalism
Chapter 38
The eleventh Yanjiu Courtyard in the east of Longyu, the residence of the Nine Princes, is far away from the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and it is a quiet place.
The Ninth Prince Shao Ziyu is sitting on the futon to pay respects to his teacher. Opposite him sits Taifu Zhongci, who ranks among the three princes and belongs to the first rank. He can participate in various military affairs and is also qualified to go to court.
Taifu, an honorary official position representing grace.Zhong Ci was a military minister during the Jin Taizong period. He once taught Jin Chengdi, who was still a prince, so he was named Taifu. Because of his military and literary attainments, Jin Cheng made a special decree and ordered him to continue to teach the princes. .
Shao Ziyu was only a few months away from the seventh and eighth princes. The Jin Dynasty stipulated that the princes would leave the palace to build a mansion when they reached sixteen. This is a rule that has been set since they were six years old.Like the Seventh Prince who was stupid before, he was exempted from studying, but if he got better, what should have happened before, and now it is still the same.
Now Shao Ziyu needs to go to class like other princes who have no errands. He politely greeted Zhong Ci before starting to make tea.The breeze blew slowly from the outside, blowing up the veil, the candlelight in the house was shaking, and the garden was blooming with flowers, bringing bursts of floral fragrance, and the two sat quietly facing each other.
Holding the teapot, Shao Ziyu slowly poured steaming mountain morning dew into the pot. During the brewing process, he rinsed it in a circle. Only after the tea was washed could the tea’s connotation be extracted, and then the second brewing was carried out. After the second process is completed, press the top of the pot with the index finger, hold the handle with the thumb of the middle finger, pour half of the water after filling, and repeat this process so that the tea soup can be rich in taste and long in breath. It is called "Patrolling the City".
After serving the tea, he handed it to Zhong Ci, the chief executive, who smiled slightly. Although Zhong Ci was full of silver hair, his eyes were like torches, hiding a beautiful chapter. He took the tea cup and sipped the tea carefully, "Eloquence leaves fragrance , the aftertaste is endless, good!"
The last word tells the taste.
Shao Ziyu smiled with a smile on his face, he was modest and polite, "Tzuyu did not dare to take the false praise from the Grand Tutor. Speaking of which, a certain person tasted the third brother's tea in the Guanxing Building of the National Teacher, and it is still unforgettable."
Shao Ziyu was talking about the disciple of the national teacher, the third prince Shao Anlin.
"Tzuyu must not be too modest, tea art is just a small way."
"Teacher taught me that."
The two of them were drinking tea quietly. At this time, the eunuch's announcement sounded a bit abrupt, "Your Highness, someone from Chonghua Palace is here to see you."
Shao Ziyu's expression was serious, he had nothing to do with Shao Huachi, how could he send someone over at this moment, and glanced at Zhongci who had finished sipping the genuine product, Zhongci smiled, got up silently and retreated behind the curtain.
Shao Ziyu said: "Please come in."
It was Wei Wei who came in, dressed in a gray eunuch uniform, no different from ordinary eunuchs, he handed the Seventh Prince's envelope to Shao Ziyu, and left.
Opening the envelope and seeing the words inside, Shao Ziyu paused his fingers suddenly, "Teacher, guess what Seventh Brother gave me?"
"But selling your information?" Zhong Ci asked after walking out from behind the curtain.
"Exactly, the name of the second brother is written on it." Shao Ziyu smelled the smell of the letter paper and carefully identified it, "The scent of white wood is strong, not agarwood, but the wood from the root of white wood, which is Canaan incense , the one who prefers this kind of strong and dark fragrance in the harem is Qi Guifei."
Shao Ziyu has a photographic memory, so he is known as a child prodigy.
"The name of the second prince, and the incense of the concubine Qi... made it into one, combined characters." The Taifu thought about it.
"Hey, the second prince has the support of the Ye family where Concubine Qi lives, and they have already united. Therefore, this cooperation is not the other, it is either a business or a private matter. Is it a secret cooperation with Concubine Qi? It is unbelievable, but it is the most likely Fragrance is a volatile substance, but it is hidden in this envelope. The seventh brother is telling me that this matter has been known to him, but most people have been kept in the dark, and finally wrote a dog on the signature , the overall character of the dog is too aggressive, and the last stroke is more prominent, unlike Seventh Brother's usual strokes, which are protruding... suddenly... It means that a dog was released, and Zhang Yang... means that this dog is fierce and may have hurt people. The word "dog" is a bit higher than the top of the upper head. The injured person is probably a high-ranking person. Is it the father, the mother, or the fourth concubine? And Qi Guifei has a dog, which must have something to do with her. The seventh brother sent someone to deliver the letter directly , which means that this matter is happening, and if I want to take action, it is now." According to the words on the envelope, Shao Ziyu slowly speculated.
"Borrowing a knife to kill, and you have to appreciate it." Zhong Ci's eyes flashed.
"That's true. After parting with my second brother in Songshan, there have been a lot of conflicts. The second brother dismissed all of my subordinates. I always keep it in my heart." The foothills of Songshan Mountain are designated by the royal family as hunting places in spring and autumn. There are many ferocious beasts. Shao Ziyu was led into the lair of wild beasts by Shao Huayang, and almost died. Later, the party members who supported the Ninth Prince were demoted, dismissed, and exiled by the right minister for many reasons, leaving Shao Ziyu almost unavailable and stretched.
"The Seventh Highness has no possibility of succession. He is expressing his goodwill to you or... surrendering."
Shao Ziyu nodded, "A certain guess, [-]. Seventh brother gave me such important news, saying that he will not stand on his own; [-]. The guard who came to deliver the letter just now used a little foreigner's skill to add two layers of strength when contacting me. Explain that he is a close friend of Seventh Brother, and sending the letter as a close friend also expresses trust in me. This person can be used by me and is also the person who communicates with Seventh Brother. Seventh Brother has shown his sincerity; Third, Seventh Brother There is no need to come forward, as long as I pass this news to me, I can try to frame the second brother. This is murder with a knife, but I do accept his love, and the two are equal, even if I don't appreciate it, neither owes each other; [-]. After he and the princess of the Panle clan made a marriage agreement, he had some reliance and a little friendship from his father. He was raped by the second brother many times before, so he would definitely choose between the eldest brother and me. He was testing my meaning. Waiting for my reply..."
"It's almost the same as what I speculated. Your Highness missed a little bit. There are only the second prince's name and a dog character on the letter paper. This is a kind of connection in itself. Being able to have a connection with the second prince and being a high-ranking person in the palace may hurt people so much." Who is it..." Zhongci didn't name the name, but Shao Ziyu, who is such a person, immediately thought of the key point, and continued, "His Royal Highness is gloomy and low-key, a bit mean. Thoughtful, but too deep and unpredictable, you can see from this letter that if His Highness accepts him as his feather, he may breed a tiger."
Shao Ziyu pondered for a moment, and said: "Shao Huachi has no chance of succession, even a tiger has his teeth pulled out, so there is nothing to be afraid of. Shao Huachi was useless before, and everyone ignored him and excluded him. Now it seems that there are merits. But to conspire with him is a dark move. A certain man is no one available right now, so he is undoubtedly a ready-made candidate, and the only way to win by surprise is by surprise."
"Since Your Highness has calculations in mind, I won't say much, I just hope you can take precautions."
"I remember it in my heart, and it's my luck to have the Grand Tutor here."
"So, what are your plans next?"
"Brother is very ambitious, but impulsive and irritable, and Guo Er supports him. Tell me, he knows about this, what should we do?"
While talking, Shao Ziyu went to the study room, spread out a few pieces of letter paper, and wrote with skill, using the brushwork of the second prince and Qi Guifei so freely, it was almost unreal.
Ministry of Internal Affairs.
A flustered little eunuch appeared at the door.
"Master Li, it's not good!"
"What's wrong with our family, are you tired of living?" Li Xiangying asked a few young eunuchs to trim her nails, raised her eyebrows, and looked dissatisfied at the eunuchs who were neither big nor small.
The little eunuch panted heavily, "It's not you, it's the dog... Oh, no, there's a lot of blood! A dog was released, and everyone said it was kept by Concubine Qi. Now it's biting people everywhere, and many people have been bitten. Already!"
The little eunuch was a little incoherent, Li Xiangying didn't react at first, and planned to continue to reprimand the little eunuch, but when she heard the back, she suddenly stood up from her high position, "What did you say!"
Li Xiangying was stunned. He had only been on duty for a long time, and such a big accident happened. Concubine Qi Gui is his destiny, so nothing can happen!
Pacing around the house, yes, yes!
Concubine Qi Gui once said that if the second prince could be found for anything, the Ye family was the second prince's henchmen and would definitely help.
There is no time, he must immediately find a way to find the second prince!
Prince Rui's Mansion.
Prince Rui is the title of the Second Prince.
Shao Huayang felt that what happened today must be evil. Someone from the palace said that something happened to his mother and concubine. Now that Shiwu has left, he lost another arm, and he still counts on the one in his mother's stomach to increase his bargaining chip. How can this There was an accident at that time, but that Li Xiangying came to the news to say that it was related to Concubine Qigui.
That bitch!Big breasts and no brains, if it wasn't for the fact that she is the daughter of the Ye family's prostitute, she is charming and charming, easy to be hooked, and he needs the support of the Ye family, how could he secretly communicate with her.
"Things that are not enough to succeed, but that are more than ruined!" Shao Huayang gritted his teeth and threw a table of fruit plates and tea on the ground.
I was going to go into battle with a gun, but my interest was extinguished halfway.After sending away the dancers who were straddling him, one of them somehow poured a plate of roasted spices on him, how could he wear this clothes to the palace!
Something happened to the queen mother, and he is still eating roast flavor?What would others think?
The personal eunuch at the side, Wuling, had quick eyes and quick hands, and quickly brought a change of clothes for the Seventh Prince.
He glanced at the little eunuch appreciatively, he was worthy of being given by the queen mother, and he was clever.
After changing everything, he said: "Wuling, go to Doctor Jiang and hand this letter to him. Only you can do this, so I can rest assured."
He is still very urgent, this is his mother and the queen of the Jin Dynasty, and he is the most likely to become the crown prince, so he cannot make trouble at this most important time.
"Yes, the slave will go right away."
Wuling looked at Shao Huayang who hurriedly got into the carriage and rushed into the palace, all respect was gone.
"Sure enough, I was hit by what the empress said. Your Highness, if you do many unrighteous actions, you will die yourself."
At the same time, the Empress's Changning Palace was in chaos, and the emperor's roar could be heard from time to time: "Emperor physician, quickly announce the imperial physician!"
In the distance, a group of imperial doctors rushed over, all of them were sweating on their foreheads, and their breath was not smooth, but they did not dare to delay at all. It was heard that on the day when the imperial concubine Zhenyi passed away, all the doctors in the imperial hospital were executed. , Whenever Emperor Jin Cheng needed it, the whole hospital mustered up all the energy to nurse.
The aisle outside was full of wailing and blood, many eunuchs were killed, half of the guards on duty were dispatched, and the entire palace was looking for dogs.
And that fierce black dog was very smart, it hid, and it would disappear after ambush from time to time, which made the commander E Hongfeng very anxious, "Find it for me! Be sure to find it, shoot and kill it!"
Commander, the full name is the left-behind commander-in-chief. He is a second-rank official. All the imperial guards and walking guards obey him.
He had just left for a short time today, and the deputy commander Ao Ze was in charge of the night's errand, and he was about to rush back to have a warm meal.He lives far away from Luanjing, and the reason is that he can't afford a house. This is the status quo of officials in Luanjing. Officials' salaries are not high, but this is the capital city, and housing prices are very high. If they don't accept bribes, they may become officials. In the time and space of Fu Chen, in the history of the Northern Song Dynasty, Su Zhe had such a famous saying, "The millet in the sack will be exhausted, and the gold in the scorpion will be full", which is what he said. Condition.
But at this juncture, something went wrong, let alone dinner today, I am afraid that he will suffer a serious crime, so he quickly cheered up and summoned all the soldiers stationed to support.
A mad dog appeared in the palace, injured many people, and attacked the Queen's Changning Palace. The Queen was frightened, fearing a miscarriage.
As the commander, if he couldn't catch the mad dog, he would be demoted if he blamed him, or exiled if he was serious.
When he arrived, there were several eunuchs who had been bitten everywhere on the ground, and some blood was stained on the road.
"Take them to Tai Hospital, and call all the doctors!" As he spoke, he besieged the scattered dogs.
There were quite a few dogs. Seeing their companions being beaten to death, they dodged in fright, but they couldn't escape the siege of the guards.These dogs don't bite people, they just want to get out and walk, they are innocent.It's just that after the vicious dog came out, the guards couldn't control so much, and killed them all with one shot.
At this time, the eunuch who was promised to be dispatched disappeared, and the current head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was newly appointed, and he was not familiar with dispatching affairs.
E Hongfeng cursed in his heart: that person surnamed Li was the fastest to come when there were rewards on weekdays, but when something happened, he disappeared, and he was so slow in recruiting people. He was really incomparable with Liu Zong. Is the manager's father-in-law blind?
In fact, it's no wonder Li Xiangying, he just started work not long ago, and he was not very familiar with the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Now that Concubine Qi Gui's dog has been released, he can only care about one thing, and is using his own methods to find him. The second prince solved the urgent need, so he didn't have time to mobilize the eunuchs.
Just when E Hongfeng got angry, he saw a eunuch wearing a brown robe, from the third rank peacock patch, coming here, followed by a group of gray robed eunuchs and several regular fourth ranks, from the fourth rank, who is now the servant When it is time, no matter whether it has grade or not.
"Slave Fu Chen, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is on duty, my lord, this slave..." The leading eunuch stepped forward to salute.
"What time is it, what's the point of greeting! Good boy, the people above you are unreliable, but you are good. Tell these people to find a dog separately. The dog is black in body, with shiny hair, and half the height of a person. It is too slippery and very smart. , I don’t know where it’s hidden, go look for it in every corner!”
Behind Fu Chen are the people from his original courtyard in the Prison Yard, plus Liu Zong's old subordinates. These subordinates were familiar with him when they went to Yeting Lake to find Li Concubine's body before. The two teams combined The number of people is not too small.
"Everyone look for it separately, just do as I said before." Fu Chen said.
The others responded, and they left in a planned manner, because Fu Chen had drawn rough drawings of the places where these dogs might haunt before coming, so that they would not search blindly.At the beginning, the people in the Prison Yard couldn't believe it when they saw it. They didn't know that Fu Chen could draw pictures.At this time, the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs who had worked with Fu Chen looked contemptuous: Didn't you say that you have always followed Fu Chen?I don’t know, I’m still bragging about knowing Fu Chen, I don’t know him yet!
The people in the Prison Yard all had fiery faces, suffocating in their hearts, knowing that the other party was of a higher rank than them, so they would go all out to find the dog if they didn't talk back and kept silent.
The two teams left with their own purpose, and they didn't look chaotic at all, which made E Hongfeng a little surprised, "What did you say just now?"
"That's it." Fu Chen seemed a little shy and took out a blueprint, marking the possible hiding places of these dogs, "I made you laugh at this slave's random graffiti."
"You..." E Hongfeng looked at Fu Chen, and then at the map with all the locations marked at a glance.Such a careful person, even if such a person is inconspicuous now, it will be difficult to say in the future. E Hongfeng has always felt that he is quite accurate in judging people. He restrained the bossy and arrogant tone just now, and his tone was better. Walking in the palace all year round, he dealt with eunuchs Not once or twice, not to easily offend these distorted eunuchs, especially promising ones, "That's right, can you lend me this blueprint?"
"If you don't mind, please use it."
After getting the drawings and analyzing them carefully, I found some blind spots that were easily overlooked, "This little father-in-law is called Fu Chen? I remember, I am E Hongfeng."
"Master E is well."
"Call me by my name. Everyone is working for the emperor. There is no need for grown-ups or adults." E Hongfeng also took care of the food. Seeing that Fu Chen was young and already in the third rank, he didn't take Joe.
At this moment, E Hongfeng's stomach rumbled like thunder.
He was extremely embarrassed, Fu Chen immediately took out the pastry that he had kept on his body all year round, and handed it to E Hongfeng.
"Why do you have food?" He was not polite, he took it and stuffed it into his mouth. When he spoke to Fu Chen, he was slightly different from his business-like appearance just now. One was polite, and the other was a bit like a half-baked people.
"Occasionally on business, I am afraid of food accumulation, so I will eat less and bring more with me." Eunuchs are afraid of being punished for too many business trips, so they often choose to go hungry, but Fu Chen is a person who treats himself as much as possible under any circumstances Man, he chooses to eat smaller meals more frequently.In the past, it was asked by the old Bahu in the dining room, but now it is the inner dining room of Fuxi Palace, and he can share the leftovers from the masters' meals occasionally.
E Hongfeng nodded to express his understanding. The eunuchs did this, and their guards were not wrong. Thinking of this, he felt that Fu Chen's method was good.
Inside the emperor shouted again, it seemed that the queen was going to be bad.
Upon hearing this, Fu Chen said, "The servant went to look for it first."
"Okay, if you find that black dog, call someone to beat it to death!"
"Your servant obeys, do you want the bell to ring?"
Zhongming is managed by the Zhonggu Division, which is one of the four divisions. There were two bureaucratic institutions in the inner palace of the Jin Dynasty. , and six prisons inside and outside the Ministry of Internal Affairs, a total of twelve prisons stand side by side.
For example, the bells and drums of the early dynasty, the bells and drums of large-scale celebrations, and the emergency affairs in the inner courtyard of the palace all need bell and drum divisions.
E Hongfeng groaned, "The bell will ring immediately, just now Eunuch Hai has signaled, and I will forget about it as soon as things get too much, you go to the Bell and Drum Division!"
E Hongfeng looked at Fu Chen with a little bit of kindness again.
Although it is only half a point, this little difference is already the basis for accumulating a lot, and it is also one of the hidden threads for burying connections.
E Hongfeng sent everyone out, and there were a few bodyguards around him, but the vicious dog was nowhere to be seen, "Look, keep looking! Wei Liang, take my token, and invite the commander of the Imperial Guard to let him He sent some soldiers over in case of emergency!"
"The last general takes orders!" Wei Liang, the head of the bodyguard with a knife in front of the imperial court, is from the second rank.
The regular imperial army of the Jin Dynasty was called the imperial guards. In addition to guarding the four directions of the imperial capital, the southeast, the northwest, and the important checkpoints and borders, if there was a war situation, such as the war with Qiangwu in the northeast, it must pass through The Privy Council can send troops only after issuing a soldier talisman, and the Privy Council is under the Military Aircraft Department.
On weekdays, in addition to regular patrols, the guards are also on duty on a daily basis. These guards are on duty and are stationed at various checkpoints in the palace. The emperor travels with imperial guards and walks in front of the imperial palace. .The emperor himself didn't like having a group of people follow him wherever he went, most of the time he was accompanied by eunuchs and maids of honor.
The blame is that the black dog seems to be aiming at the emperor, elusive.Fortunately, this time the emperor was accompanied by guards, who blocked several attacks.The black dog is very clever, and it hides when it cannot attack, and it doesn't know where it is hiding.
In the Changning Palace, the medical lady and the midwife stopped the emperor's footsteps.
"Your Majesty, there is blood in the house, please move it outside." In the Jin Dynasty, the more noble a man was, the less he could enter a bloody place like the delivery room, which was very unlucky.
Emperor Jin Cheng looked at the queen who had passed out in the room, and nodded heavily. He was excited for a long time to have a child at the age of Emperor Jin Cheng. Although he had a lot of children, the situation has deteriorated over the years. There has been no concubine pregnant in the palace for a long time. The intercourse also needs to rely on the elixir arranged by the national teacher to survive the golden gun.He was looking forward to the child in the queen's womb, and he hated the culprit when something like this happened.
A quarter of an hour later, the queen was almost unable to be rescued due to a catastrophe.
"Use the best medicinal materials in my treasury, and I want you to try your best to rescue the queen, and if you can't, behead them all!" Jin Chengdi was so excited that his eyes were bloodshot.
After a while, the midwife came out of the house, holding an object wrapped in cloth in her arms, and there was a baby that was almost ready to form, and was stillborn.Lifting the cloth, Emperor Cheng of Jin closed it in pain. He was a boy, and he felt ashamed of the queen in his heart, and hated the person who instigated the dog even more.
"Where's the queen?"
"The empress is safe, but she is bleeding too much. The doctor said that although she has been rescued temporarily, she may still be in danger."
Emperor Cheng of Jin frowned. Now the national teacher is retreating. If the national teacher is there, he will surely be able to save the day.But before that, the national teacher had already said that he could not go to disturb them. For so many years, no matter what happened, as long as the national teacher was in retreat, no one would be seen. will come.
The national teacher is praying for the Jin Dynasty and cannot be blamed.Emperor Cheng of Jin hesitated for a moment, and said: "Send someone to the Guanxing Tower to find the national teacher. You, use all means to save the queen!"
The second prince's wings are getting richer, he has many party members, and even the imperial court has power. This makes Emperor Cheng of Jin displeased, and even feels a faint threat. How can he allow others to snore on the side of the couch?Out of a warning, and out of a father's heart, Emperor Cheng of Jin asked Shiwu to go to Qiangwu as a hostage.
The intention is to make Shao Huayang restrain his words and deeds.
And the Seventh Prince also has a new purpose, to win over the Panle Clan.
Such an arrangement made Emperor Cheng of Jin very satisfied. It can be said that the roles of the two princes were fulfilled.
He has no guilt towards the queen. Isn't the queen responsible for teaching Shao Huayang like this?
Of course, the emperor never thought he was at fault.
But now, all of these have turned into apologies to the queen. Emperor Jin Cheng is an afterthought, and he always realizes his gains and losses when things happen.
With a dark face, Emperor Cheng of Jin roared at the commander E Hongfeng: "Bring that bitch Ye Shi over here!"
"No." E Hongfeng took his guards to Fengyin Pavilion to arrest him.
The emperor didn't even want to call out the title of Concubine Qi Gui, which shows how angry he is.
There are so many dogs, except for the nameless black dog, which one is not from the concubine Qi's courtyard. If this matter has nothing to do with Mrs. Ye, who will believe it?
At this time, the bell rang twenty times in a row, which meant that something important happened in the palace. Basically, all the palace masters, eunuchs and maids were going to gather.
After a while, there were people kneeling on the ground in front of Changning Palace, including all the princes and concubines, some were shocked, some were confused, some were thoughtful, in various poses.
Fu Chen "did not" find the black dog. He knelt together with the eunuchs of the House of Internal Affairs. The place where he knelt was very hidden, just under a plant.When I saw Li Xiangying on the way, I saw a clear relief on his face, maybe he had found a way to save Concubine Qi.
Fu Chen silently looked away, but happened to meet the Seventh Prince Shao Huachi who rushed over in a hurry. Half of the face of the man was hidden in the mask, and half of the face was looking in his direction like a picture. He looked away in an instant, as if Happened to see the same.
And at that moment, Fu Chen quickly blinked his eyes.
It is impossible to make obvious movements and expressions in public, and he will not leave such an excuse for himself.He didn't know if Shao Huachi could understand this vague hint, if he couldn't catch the opportunity, then there was nothing he could do.
Shao Huachi was surrounded by a group of people wearing the prince's python robes. Most of them were not old enough to leave the palace to build a mansion, so they rushed over quickly. This was also the first time that Fu Chen saw the appearance of almost all the princes. Combined with the information collected over the past three years and Concubine De once gave the contact map of the characters, and gradually matched the appearance with the name, character, and power in his mind.
This network of relationships is forming the most preliminary structure in Fu Chen's mind.
Memorizing these things may not be useful, it's just a habit brought by Fu Chen's previous life as a personnel director, understanding the relationship between people is conducive to daily affairs.
In contrast, the adult princes arrived later, one after another came from outside the palace and knelt down among the princes. Among them, the third prince was not in Luanjing because of dealing with the disaster.
Emperor Cheng of Jin looked at the seventh prince who arrived late with a gloomy expression. It's fine for the other older princes to arrive late. Those people have built mansions, and it takes time to come over, but what's the matter with the seventh prince? Night!
Because of the apology to the Seventh Prince and Concubine Li in his heart, Emperor Jin Cheng suppressed the reprimand, but the displeasure in his heart lingered.
If there were no conclusive evidence at the time, then the guards came to Concubine Li's palace after forcibly having sex with the court lady, which eventually led to the death of a generation of beauties. Emperor Jin Cheng wanted to fork the seventh prince out now.
A prince with a disfigured face and a foolish history is simply a stain on his life.
At this moment, E Hongfeng and the others had already brought over Qigui who was in a coma.
Concubine Qi Gui's face was still pale, without the slightest trace of blood, but she could no longer arouse the emperor's pity.
"Wake her up."
Snapped!clap clap clap!
E Hongfeng had already ordered someone to pour basins of water on Concubine Qi with a splash.
Waking up from the cold water, she suddenly got up from the ground, and kept backing away in a daze. She was extremely embarrassed, and the clothes on her body had a peculiar smell, which was caused by her previous incontinence. Her hair was loose, and the expression on her face was full of surprise.
She covered her head and kept thinking about what happened, but she only remembered that she didn't listen to her and wanted to attack her, as if she ran out later?
Why would Dun Zhe be disobedient?
And then, what happened?
It's just how to recall, my mind is always blurred.
She kept shaking her head, not noticing the cold eyes the emperor was looking at her at all, nor did she notice that there was a circle of people kneeling around her.
After giving the order, Emperor Jin Cheng turned to face the dark crowd. "Today, there was a dog disturbance in the palace, which harmed me and the empress. The culprit has been brought. The empress violated the law and committed the same crime as the common people. I will never engage in any malpractice for personal gain. Now I am bestowing upon my precious concubine the cherry blossoms."
Pear cherry blossom is a better way to say it.There were many criminal laws in the inner court of the Jin Dynasty. For example, at the beginning, Chen Zuoren and the others were punished with sticks, and the rest were punished with boards and whips.Among them, Liyingluo belongs to the combination of whipping and rod punishment. First, the whip is used to pull out the blood and flesh little by little. It requires an experienced whipping master. The flesh and blood must be splashed like blood foam. It will only hurt more and more, and when the flesh and blood are almost gone, the stick will be used, and the bones inside will be broken inch by inch, turning into pieces, but this person can't die yet.
When blood foam and white bones are mixed together, it becomes pear blossoms and cherry blossoms falling.
Those who heard it trembled, like quails.No one in the palace is ignorant of this criminal law. Often when young eunuchs just enter the palace, some of them are ignorant, and someone above them will tell them about the various punishment systems in the palace, which can often scare a group of people.
Only now did Concubine Qi come back to her senses, "Li Yingluo? No, I don't want Li Yingluo! Your Majesty, I beg you to be merciful!"
She threw herself at the feet of Emperor Jin Cheng, howling loudly.
At this time, a eunuch came to report, "Your Majesty, King Jianjun is asking to see you."
King Jian is the father of concubine Qi Gui, the hereditary king after the founding hero.
"No see!" The emperor was determined this time, he was too kind to these founding heroes, so that they allowed them to provoke the imperial power again and again.
Even if a dog bites a person, it seems that it is coming for me!
I also want to ask King Jian, what is his intention in sending his daughter to the palace? Does he want the dynasty to change his surname?
Concubine Qi Gui suddenly looked at Shao Huayang among the princes, as if she wanted to say something, but Shao Huayang's eyes were as cold as iron, which made her suddenly enlightened. She knew that if she said it today, with the second prince's domineering and vicious temperament, she would definitely not Let her go, can't say it!Expose this relationship, and both of them will be finished!
Fu Chen hid among the eunuchs, watching Concubine Qi hugging the emperor's leg, unwilling to let go, and the emperor raised his foot to shake her off, while the guards on the side were preparing the staff, at this moment, almost everyone was paying attention On them, they all forgot about the black dog that had been hiding all the time and hadn't been found until now.
Fu Chen looked at the seventh prince who had been paying attention to the emperor's surroundings, and then looked into the dark, with a pair of green eyes.
Remember that smell, now, attack him!
The black dog rushed towards the emperor with lightning speed without any defense.
Heiquan was huge, and when he rushed towards him, the guards were completely defenseless and couldn't stop him.
It exposed a bloody mouth, where the smell of fresh blood remained, and shreds of meat were still embedded between the teeth, it was terrifying.
The row closest to the emperor is the row where the prince is kneeling. Almost everyone's first reaction is to avoid danger.
After reading Fu Chen's hint before, Shao Huachi, who silently waited for an emergency, seized the opportunity, went the opposite way, stood up and rushed towards the emperor.
The black dog was very close to the emperor, so close that it had already bit the flesh on the arm of Emperor Jin Cheng. Although Emperor Jin Cheng possessed martial arts skills, he was addicted to wine and sex all the year round, and his reaction was not fast. He had never felt death so close to him.
At this moment, his face was livid, just when the black dog had just bit his arm, he was pushed away vigorously from the side, and Shao Huachi let himself go up instead.
"Father, be careful!"
It was too late, but soon, Shao Huachi had already been bitten!The blood soared to Emperor Jin Cheng's face, and it was warm to the touch.
In that instant, Shao Huachi was grabbed by the shoulder by the black dog and fell to the ground.
But other princes, such as the eldest prince Shao Mujian had already fled far away, and some other princes were stupefied in place, and some were still hesitating. At that moment, Emperor Jin Cheng seemed to see who was the truly filial person.
He still remembered his evaluation of Lao Qi, that this son was too sinister and embarrassing.
But now it is the prince who looks gloomy and gloomy in his eyes. The shame in his heart rushed out when everyone retreated, even at the expense of his life.
In such a short time, there is no reaction time, it is all the instinct of the body.And what did he do, just now he thought that this son came too late, he didn't care about the affairs of the palace, especially his current concubine and concubine who had the accident, unexpectedly Shan Shan came late, disrespectful and filial, it was useless for the queen to treat him like this good.
"What are you doing in a daze, don't hurry up and save the Seventh Prince!" Emperor Jin Cheng yelled at a group of guards who hadn't responded, and then looked at Shao Huachi, "Old Seven!"
Emperor Jin Cheng walked a few steps, but was stopped, Shao Huachi endured the pain, and said with difficulty: "Father, please go, I'm fine!"
Emperor Jin Cheng was taken aback for a moment, looking at the Seventh Prince whom he seemed to have never looked directly at.
He has too many children, and there are countless outstanding ones. For example, the third prince Shao Anlin, who is kind and kind and the next national teacher, and the sixth prince Shao Jintan, who has a talent for making money and fills the treasury from time to time, is very much like the second prince Shao Huayang when he was young. The clever and proud Eighth Prince Shao Huayan, and the Ninth Prince Shao Ziyu who is known as a humble child prodigy... There are too many excellent children. This deformed child is an existence that Emperor Jin Cheng wants to erase. In the eyes of the emperor, it is not perfect.
And only this imperfect prince, risking death at any time, would not let him get close.
Heart of a child!Lao Qi seems to be an unpleasant child, but he hides a pure filial piety.
He lived for most of his life, but he still couldn't see people's hearts clearly. His father was right, his eyes were blurred.
After Jin Chengdi's roar, the guards rushed over and beat the dog until it was bloody, but even though its body was broken in two, the black dog still bit the human flesh in its mouth before dying.
In a matter of seconds, Shao Huachi's shoulders were already dripping with blood, and half of his body was soaked into blood.
Before Shao Huachi fell into a coma, he looked at Fu Chen who was kneeling in the crowd from the corner of his eye: Is this what you reminded me of?
Do you want me to risk my life to gain a little attention or just want me to die?
In the situation just now, I would die at any time.
Fu Chen, you know that I have deep thoughts.
But who can understand you?
The Ninth Prince Shao Ziyu is sitting on the futon to pay respects to his teacher. Opposite him sits Taifu Zhongci, who ranks among the three princes and belongs to the first rank. He can participate in various military affairs and is also qualified to go to court.
Taifu, an honorary official position representing grace.Zhong Ci was a military minister during the Jin Taizong period. He once taught Jin Chengdi, who was still a prince, so he was named Taifu. Because of his military and literary attainments, Jin Cheng made a special decree and ordered him to continue to teach the princes. .
Shao Ziyu was only a few months away from the seventh and eighth princes. The Jin Dynasty stipulated that the princes would leave the palace to build a mansion when they reached sixteen. This is a rule that has been set since they were six years old.Like the Seventh Prince who was stupid before, he was exempted from studying, but if he got better, what should have happened before, and now it is still the same.
Now Shao Ziyu needs to go to class like other princes who have no errands. He politely greeted Zhong Ci before starting to make tea.The breeze blew slowly from the outside, blowing up the veil, the candlelight in the house was shaking, and the garden was blooming with flowers, bringing bursts of floral fragrance, and the two sat quietly facing each other.
Holding the teapot, Shao Ziyu slowly poured steaming mountain morning dew into the pot. During the brewing process, he rinsed it in a circle. Only after the tea was washed could the tea’s connotation be extracted, and then the second brewing was carried out. After the second process is completed, press the top of the pot with the index finger, hold the handle with the thumb of the middle finger, pour half of the water after filling, and repeat this process so that the tea soup can be rich in taste and long in breath. It is called "Patrolling the City".
After serving the tea, he handed it to Zhong Ci, the chief executive, who smiled slightly. Although Zhong Ci was full of silver hair, his eyes were like torches, hiding a beautiful chapter. He took the tea cup and sipped the tea carefully, "Eloquence leaves fragrance , the aftertaste is endless, good!"
The last word tells the taste.
Shao Ziyu smiled with a smile on his face, he was modest and polite, "Tzuyu did not dare to take the false praise from the Grand Tutor. Speaking of which, a certain person tasted the third brother's tea in the Guanxing Building of the National Teacher, and it is still unforgettable."
Shao Ziyu was talking about the disciple of the national teacher, the third prince Shao Anlin.
"Tzuyu must not be too modest, tea art is just a small way."
"Teacher taught me that."
The two of them were drinking tea quietly. At this time, the eunuch's announcement sounded a bit abrupt, "Your Highness, someone from Chonghua Palace is here to see you."
Shao Ziyu's expression was serious, he had nothing to do with Shao Huachi, how could he send someone over at this moment, and glanced at Zhongci who had finished sipping the genuine product, Zhongci smiled, got up silently and retreated behind the curtain.
Shao Ziyu said: "Please come in."
It was Wei Wei who came in, dressed in a gray eunuch uniform, no different from ordinary eunuchs, he handed the Seventh Prince's envelope to Shao Ziyu, and left.
Opening the envelope and seeing the words inside, Shao Ziyu paused his fingers suddenly, "Teacher, guess what Seventh Brother gave me?"
"But selling your information?" Zhong Ci asked after walking out from behind the curtain.
"Exactly, the name of the second brother is written on it." Shao Ziyu smelled the smell of the letter paper and carefully identified it, "The scent of white wood is strong, not agarwood, but the wood from the root of white wood, which is Canaan incense , the one who prefers this kind of strong and dark fragrance in the harem is Qi Guifei."
Shao Ziyu has a photographic memory, so he is known as a child prodigy.
"The name of the second prince, and the incense of the concubine Qi... made it into one, combined characters." The Taifu thought about it.
"Hey, the second prince has the support of the Ye family where Concubine Qi lives, and they have already united. Therefore, this cooperation is not the other, it is either a business or a private matter. Is it a secret cooperation with Concubine Qi? It is unbelievable, but it is the most likely Fragrance is a volatile substance, but it is hidden in this envelope. The seventh brother is telling me that this matter has been known to him, but most people have been kept in the dark, and finally wrote a dog on the signature , the overall character of the dog is too aggressive, and the last stroke is more prominent, unlike Seventh Brother's usual strokes, which are protruding... suddenly... It means that a dog was released, and Zhang Yang... means that this dog is fierce and may have hurt people. The word "dog" is a bit higher than the top of the upper head. The injured person is probably a high-ranking person. Is it the father, the mother, or the fourth concubine? And Qi Guifei has a dog, which must have something to do with her. The seventh brother sent someone to deliver the letter directly , which means that this matter is happening, and if I want to take action, it is now." According to the words on the envelope, Shao Ziyu slowly speculated.
"Borrowing a knife to kill, and you have to appreciate it." Zhong Ci's eyes flashed.
"That's true. After parting with my second brother in Songshan, there have been a lot of conflicts. The second brother dismissed all of my subordinates. I always keep it in my heart." The foothills of Songshan Mountain are designated by the royal family as hunting places in spring and autumn. There are many ferocious beasts. Shao Ziyu was led into the lair of wild beasts by Shao Huayang, and almost died. Later, the party members who supported the Ninth Prince were demoted, dismissed, and exiled by the right minister for many reasons, leaving Shao Ziyu almost unavailable and stretched.
"The Seventh Highness has no possibility of succession. He is expressing his goodwill to you or... surrendering."
Shao Ziyu nodded, "A certain guess, [-]. Seventh brother gave me such important news, saying that he will not stand on his own; [-]. The guard who came to deliver the letter just now used a little foreigner's skill to add two layers of strength when contacting me. Explain that he is a close friend of Seventh Brother, and sending the letter as a close friend also expresses trust in me. This person can be used by me and is also the person who communicates with Seventh Brother. Seventh Brother has shown his sincerity; Third, Seventh Brother There is no need to come forward, as long as I pass this news to me, I can try to frame the second brother. This is murder with a knife, but I do accept his love, and the two are equal, even if I don't appreciate it, neither owes each other; [-]. After he and the princess of the Panle clan made a marriage agreement, he had some reliance and a little friendship from his father. He was raped by the second brother many times before, so he would definitely choose between the eldest brother and me. He was testing my meaning. Waiting for my reply..."
"It's almost the same as what I speculated. Your Highness missed a little bit. There are only the second prince's name and a dog character on the letter paper. This is a kind of connection in itself. Being able to have a connection with the second prince and being a high-ranking person in the palace may hurt people so much." Who is it..." Zhongci didn't name the name, but Shao Ziyu, who is such a person, immediately thought of the key point, and continued, "His Royal Highness is gloomy and low-key, a bit mean. Thoughtful, but too deep and unpredictable, you can see from this letter that if His Highness accepts him as his feather, he may breed a tiger."
Shao Ziyu pondered for a moment, and said: "Shao Huachi has no chance of succession, even a tiger has his teeth pulled out, so there is nothing to be afraid of. Shao Huachi was useless before, and everyone ignored him and excluded him. Now it seems that there are merits. But to conspire with him is a dark move. A certain man is no one available right now, so he is undoubtedly a ready-made candidate, and the only way to win by surprise is by surprise."
"Since Your Highness has calculations in mind, I won't say much, I just hope you can take precautions."
"I remember it in my heart, and it's my luck to have the Grand Tutor here."
"So, what are your plans next?"
"Brother is very ambitious, but impulsive and irritable, and Guo Er supports him. Tell me, he knows about this, what should we do?"
While talking, Shao Ziyu went to the study room, spread out a few pieces of letter paper, and wrote with skill, using the brushwork of the second prince and Qi Guifei so freely, it was almost unreal.
Ministry of Internal Affairs.
A flustered little eunuch appeared at the door.
"Master Li, it's not good!"
"What's wrong with our family, are you tired of living?" Li Xiangying asked a few young eunuchs to trim her nails, raised her eyebrows, and looked dissatisfied at the eunuchs who were neither big nor small.
The little eunuch panted heavily, "It's not you, it's the dog... Oh, no, there's a lot of blood! A dog was released, and everyone said it was kept by Concubine Qi. Now it's biting people everywhere, and many people have been bitten. Already!"
The little eunuch was a little incoherent, Li Xiangying didn't react at first, and planned to continue to reprimand the little eunuch, but when she heard the back, she suddenly stood up from her high position, "What did you say!"
Li Xiangying was stunned. He had only been on duty for a long time, and such a big accident happened. Concubine Qi Gui is his destiny, so nothing can happen!
Pacing around the house, yes, yes!
Concubine Qi Gui once said that if the second prince could be found for anything, the Ye family was the second prince's henchmen and would definitely help.
There is no time, he must immediately find a way to find the second prince!
Prince Rui's Mansion.
Prince Rui is the title of the Second Prince.
Shao Huayang felt that what happened today must be evil. Someone from the palace said that something happened to his mother and concubine. Now that Shiwu has left, he lost another arm, and he still counts on the one in his mother's stomach to increase his bargaining chip. How can this There was an accident at that time, but that Li Xiangying came to the news to say that it was related to Concubine Qigui.
That bitch!Big breasts and no brains, if it wasn't for the fact that she is the daughter of the Ye family's prostitute, she is charming and charming, easy to be hooked, and he needs the support of the Ye family, how could he secretly communicate with her.
"Things that are not enough to succeed, but that are more than ruined!" Shao Huayang gritted his teeth and threw a table of fruit plates and tea on the ground.
I was going to go into battle with a gun, but my interest was extinguished halfway.After sending away the dancers who were straddling him, one of them somehow poured a plate of roasted spices on him, how could he wear this clothes to the palace!
Something happened to the queen mother, and he is still eating roast flavor?What would others think?
The personal eunuch at the side, Wuling, had quick eyes and quick hands, and quickly brought a change of clothes for the Seventh Prince.
He glanced at the little eunuch appreciatively, he was worthy of being given by the queen mother, and he was clever.
After changing everything, he said: "Wuling, go to Doctor Jiang and hand this letter to him. Only you can do this, so I can rest assured."
He is still very urgent, this is his mother and the queen of the Jin Dynasty, and he is the most likely to become the crown prince, so he cannot make trouble at this most important time.
"Yes, the slave will go right away."
Wuling looked at Shao Huayang who hurriedly got into the carriage and rushed into the palace, all respect was gone.
"Sure enough, I was hit by what the empress said. Your Highness, if you do many unrighteous actions, you will die yourself."
At the same time, the Empress's Changning Palace was in chaos, and the emperor's roar could be heard from time to time: "Emperor physician, quickly announce the imperial physician!"
In the distance, a group of imperial doctors rushed over, all of them were sweating on their foreheads, and their breath was not smooth, but they did not dare to delay at all. It was heard that on the day when the imperial concubine Zhenyi passed away, all the doctors in the imperial hospital were executed. , Whenever Emperor Jin Cheng needed it, the whole hospital mustered up all the energy to nurse.
The aisle outside was full of wailing and blood, many eunuchs were killed, half of the guards on duty were dispatched, and the entire palace was looking for dogs.
And that fierce black dog was very smart, it hid, and it would disappear after ambush from time to time, which made the commander E Hongfeng very anxious, "Find it for me! Be sure to find it, shoot and kill it!"
Commander, the full name is the left-behind commander-in-chief. He is a second-rank official. All the imperial guards and walking guards obey him.
He had just left for a short time today, and the deputy commander Ao Ze was in charge of the night's errand, and he was about to rush back to have a warm meal.He lives far away from Luanjing, and the reason is that he can't afford a house. This is the status quo of officials in Luanjing. Officials' salaries are not high, but this is the capital city, and housing prices are very high. If they don't accept bribes, they may become officials. In the time and space of Fu Chen, in the history of the Northern Song Dynasty, Su Zhe had such a famous saying, "The millet in the sack will be exhausted, and the gold in the scorpion will be full", which is what he said. Condition.
But at this juncture, something went wrong, let alone dinner today, I am afraid that he will suffer a serious crime, so he quickly cheered up and summoned all the soldiers stationed to support.
A mad dog appeared in the palace, injured many people, and attacked the Queen's Changning Palace. The Queen was frightened, fearing a miscarriage.
As the commander, if he couldn't catch the mad dog, he would be demoted if he blamed him, or exiled if he was serious.
When he arrived, there were several eunuchs who had been bitten everywhere on the ground, and some blood was stained on the road.
"Take them to Tai Hospital, and call all the doctors!" As he spoke, he besieged the scattered dogs.
There were quite a few dogs. Seeing their companions being beaten to death, they dodged in fright, but they couldn't escape the siege of the guards.These dogs don't bite people, they just want to get out and walk, they are innocent.It's just that after the vicious dog came out, the guards couldn't control so much, and killed them all with one shot.
At this time, the eunuch who was promised to be dispatched disappeared, and the current head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was newly appointed, and he was not familiar with dispatching affairs.
E Hongfeng cursed in his heart: that person surnamed Li was the fastest to come when there were rewards on weekdays, but when something happened, he disappeared, and he was so slow in recruiting people. He was really incomparable with Liu Zong. Is the manager's father-in-law blind?
In fact, it's no wonder Li Xiangying, he just started work not long ago, and he was not very familiar with the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Now that Concubine Qi Gui's dog has been released, he can only care about one thing, and is using his own methods to find him. The second prince solved the urgent need, so he didn't have time to mobilize the eunuchs.
Just when E Hongfeng got angry, he saw a eunuch wearing a brown robe, from the third rank peacock patch, coming here, followed by a group of gray robed eunuchs and several regular fourth ranks, from the fourth rank, who is now the servant When it is time, no matter whether it has grade or not.
"Slave Fu Chen, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is on duty, my lord, this slave..." The leading eunuch stepped forward to salute.
"What time is it, what's the point of greeting! Good boy, the people above you are unreliable, but you are good. Tell these people to find a dog separately. The dog is black in body, with shiny hair, and half the height of a person. It is too slippery and very smart. , I don’t know where it’s hidden, go look for it in every corner!”
Behind Fu Chen are the people from his original courtyard in the Prison Yard, plus Liu Zong's old subordinates. These subordinates were familiar with him when they went to Yeting Lake to find Li Concubine's body before. The two teams combined The number of people is not too small.
"Everyone look for it separately, just do as I said before." Fu Chen said.
The others responded, and they left in a planned manner, because Fu Chen had drawn rough drawings of the places where these dogs might haunt before coming, so that they would not search blindly.At the beginning, the people in the Prison Yard couldn't believe it when they saw it. They didn't know that Fu Chen could draw pictures.At this time, the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs who had worked with Fu Chen looked contemptuous: Didn't you say that you have always followed Fu Chen?I don’t know, I’m still bragging about knowing Fu Chen, I don’t know him yet!
The people in the Prison Yard all had fiery faces, suffocating in their hearts, knowing that the other party was of a higher rank than them, so they would go all out to find the dog if they didn't talk back and kept silent.
The two teams left with their own purpose, and they didn't look chaotic at all, which made E Hongfeng a little surprised, "What did you say just now?"
"That's it." Fu Chen seemed a little shy and took out a blueprint, marking the possible hiding places of these dogs, "I made you laugh at this slave's random graffiti."
"You..." E Hongfeng looked at Fu Chen, and then at the map with all the locations marked at a glance.Such a careful person, even if such a person is inconspicuous now, it will be difficult to say in the future. E Hongfeng has always felt that he is quite accurate in judging people. He restrained the bossy and arrogant tone just now, and his tone was better. Walking in the palace all year round, he dealt with eunuchs Not once or twice, not to easily offend these distorted eunuchs, especially promising ones, "That's right, can you lend me this blueprint?"
"If you don't mind, please use it."
After getting the drawings and analyzing them carefully, I found some blind spots that were easily overlooked, "This little father-in-law is called Fu Chen? I remember, I am E Hongfeng."
"Master E is well."
"Call me by my name. Everyone is working for the emperor. There is no need for grown-ups or adults." E Hongfeng also took care of the food. Seeing that Fu Chen was young and already in the third rank, he didn't take Joe.
At this moment, E Hongfeng's stomach rumbled like thunder.
He was extremely embarrassed, Fu Chen immediately took out the pastry that he had kept on his body all year round, and handed it to E Hongfeng.
"Why do you have food?" He was not polite, he took it and stuffed it into his mouth. When he spoke to Fu Chen, he was slightly different from his business-like appearance just now. One was polite, and the other was a bit like a half-baked people.
"Occasionally on business, I am afraid of food accumulation, so I will eat less and bring more with me." Eunuchs are afraid of being punished for too many business trips, so they often choose to go hungry, but Fu Chen is a person who treats himself as much as possible under any circumstances Man, he chooses to eat smaller meals more frequently.In the past, it was asked by the old Bahu in the dining room, but now it is the inner dining room of Fuxi Palace, and he can share the leftovers from the masters' meals occasionally.
E Hongfeng nodded to express his understanding. The eunuchs did this, and their guards were not wrong. Thinking of this, he felt that Fu Chen's method was good.
Inside the emperor shouted again, it seemed that the queen was going to be bad.
Upon hearing this, Fu Chen said, "The servant went to look for it first."
"Okay, if you find that black dog, call someone to beat it to death!"
"Your servant obeys, do you want the bell to ring?"
Zhongming is managed by the Zhonggu Division, which is one of the four divisions. There were two bureaucratic institutions in the inner palace of the Jin Dynasty. , and six prisons inside and outside the Ministry of Internal Affairs, a total of twelve prisons stand side by side.
For example, the bells and drums of the early dynasty, the bells and drums of large-scale celebrations, and the emergency affairs in the inner courtyard of the palace all need bell and drum divisions.
E Hongfeng groaned, "The bell will ring immediately, just now Eunuch Hai has signaled, and I will forget about it as soon as things get too much, you go to the Bell and Drum Division!"
E Hongfeng looked at Fu Chen with a little bit of kindness again.
Although it is only half a point, this little difference is already the basis for accumulating a lot, and it is also one of the hidden threads for burying connections.
E Hongfeng sent everyone out, and there were a few bodyguards around him, but the vicious dog was nowhere to be seen, "Look, keep looking! Wei Liang, take my token, and invite the commander of the Imperial Guard to let him He sent some soldiers over in case of emergency!"
"The last general takes orders!" Wei Liang, the head of the bodyguard with a knife in front of the imperial court, is from the second rank.
The regular imperial army of the Jin Dynasty was called the imperial guards. In addition to guarding the four directions of the imperial capital, the southeast, the northwest, and the important checkpoints and borders, if there was a war situation, such as the war with Qiangwu in the northeast, it must pass through The Privy Council can send troops only after issuing a soldier talisman, and the Privy Council is under the Military Aircraft Department.
On weekdays, in addition to regular patrols, the guards are also on duty on a daily basis. These guards are on duty and are stationed at various checkpoints in the palace. The emperor travels with imperial guards and walks in front of the imperial palace. .The emperor himself didn't like having a group of people follow him wherever he went, most of the time he was accompanied by eunuchs and maids of honor.
The blame is that the black dog seems to be aiming at the emperor, elusive.Fortunately, this time the emperor was accompanied by guards, who blocked several attacks.The black dog is very clever, and it hides when it cannot attack, and it doesn't know where it is hiding.
In the Changning Palace, the medical lady and the midwife stopped the emperor's footsteps.
"Your Majesty, there is blood in the house, please move it outside." In the Jin Dynasty, the more noble a man was, the less he could enter a bloody place like the delivery room, which was very unlucky.
Emperor Jin Cheng looked at the queen who had passed out in the room, and nodded heavily. He was excited for a long time to have a child at the age of Emperor Jin Cheng. Although he had a lot of children, the situation has deteriorated over the years. There has been no concubine pregnant in the palace for a long time. The intercourse also needs to rely on the elixir arranged by the national teacher to survive the golden gun.He was looking forward to the child in the queen's womb, and he hated the culprit when something like this happened.
A quarter of an hour later, the queen was almost unable to be rescued due to a catastrophe.
"Use the best medicinal materials in my treasury, and I want you to try your best to rescue the queen, and if you can't, behead them all!" Jin Chengdi was so excited that his eyes were bloodshot.
After a while, the midwife came out of the house, holding an object wrapped in cloth in her arms, and there was a baby that was almost ready to form, and was stillborn.Lifting the cloth, Emperor Cheng of Jin closed it in pain. He was a boy, and he felt ashamed of the queen in his heart, and hated the person who instigated the dog even more.
"Where's the queen?"
"The empress is safe, but she is bleeding too much. The doctor said that although she has been rescued temporarily, she may still be in danger."
Emperor Cheng of Jin frowned. Now the national teacher is retreating. If the national teacher is there, he will surely be able to save the day.But before that, the national teacher had already said that he could not go to disturb them. For so many years, no matter what happened, as long as the national teacher was in retreat, no one would be seen. will come.
The national teacher is praying for the Jin Dynasty and cannot be blamed.Emperor Cheng of Jin hesitated for a moment, and said: "Send someone to the Guanxing Tower to find the national teacher. You, use all means to save the queen!"
The second prince's wings are getting richer, he has many party members, and even the imperial court has power. This makes Emperor Cheng of Jin displeased, and even feels a faint threat. How can he allow others to snore on the side of the couch?Out of a warning, and out of a father's heart, Emperor Cheng of Jin asked Shiwu to go to Qiangwu as a hostage.
The intention is to make Shao Huayang restrain his words and deeds.
And the Seventh Prince also has a new purpose, to win over the Panle Clan.
Such an arrangement made Emperor Cheng of Jin very satisfied. It can be said that the roles of the two princes were fulfilled.
He has no guilt towards the queen. Isn't the queen responsible for teaching Shao Huayang like this?
Of course, the emperor never thought he was at fault.
But now, all of these have turned into apologies to the queen. Emperor Jin Cheng is an afterthought, and he always realizes his gains and losses when things happen.
With a dark face, Emperor Cheng of Jin roared at the commander E Hongfeng: "Bring that bitch Ye Shi over here!"
"No." E Hongfeng took his guards to Fengyin Pavilion to arrest him.
The emperor didn't even want to call out the title of Concubine Qi Gui, which shows how angry he is.
There are so many dogs, except for the nameless black dog, which one is not from the concubine Qi's courtyard. If this matter has nothing to do with Mrs. Ye, who will believe it?
At this time, the bell rang twenty times in a row, which meant that something important happened in the palace. Basically, all the palace masters, eunuchs and maids were going to gather.
After a while, there were people kneeling on the ground in front of Changning Palace, including all the princes and concubines, some were shocked, some were confused, some were thoughtful, in various poses.
Fu Chen "did not" find the black dog. He knelt together with the eunuchs of the House of Internal Affairs. The place where he knelt was very hidden, just under a plant.When I saw Li Xiangying on the way, I saw a clear relief on his face, maybe he had found a way to save Concubine Qi.
Fu Chen silently looked away, but happened to meet the Seventh Prince Shao Huachi who rushed over in a hurry. Half of the face of the man was hidden in the mask, and half of the face was looking in his direction like a picture. He looked away in an instant, as if Happened to see the same.
And at that moment, Fu Chen quickly blinked his eyes.
It is impossible to make obvious movements and expressions in public, and he will not leave such an excuse for himself.He didn't know if Shao Huachi could understand this vague hint, if he couldn't catch the opportunity, then there was nothing he could do.
Shao Huachi was surrounded by a group of people wearing the prince's python robes. Most of them were not old enough to leave the palace to build a mansion, so they rushed over quickly. This was also the first time that Fu Chen saw the appearance of almost all the princes. Combined with the information collected over the past three years and Concubine De once gave the contact map of the characters, and gradually matched the appearance with the name, character, and power in his mind.
This network of relationships is forming the most preliminary structure in Fu Chen's mind.
Memorizing these things may not be useful, it's just a habit brought by Fu Chen's previous life as a personnel director, understanding the relationship between people is conducive to daily affairs.
In contrast, the adult princes arrived later, one after another came from outside the palace and knelt down among the princes. Among them, the third prince was not in Luanjing because of dealing with the disaster.
Emperor Cheng of Jin looked at the seventh prince who arrived late with a gloomy expression. It's fine for the other older princes to arrive late. Those people have built mansions, and it takes time to come over, but what's the matter with the seventh prince? Night!
Because of the apology to the Seventh Prince and Concubine Li in his heart, Emperor Jin Cheng suppressed the reprimand, but the displeasure in his heart lingered.
If there were no conclusive evidence at the time, then the guards came to Concubine Li's palace after forcibly having sex with the court lady, which eventually led to the death of a generation of beauties. Emperor Jin Cheng wanted to fork the seventh prince out now.
A prince with a disfigured face and a foolish history is simply a stain on his life.
At this moment, E Hongfeng and the others had already brought over Qigui who was in a coma.
Concubine Qi Gui's face was still pale, without the slightest trace of blood, but she could no longer arouse the emperor's pity.
"Wake her up."
Snapped!clap clap clap!
E Hongfeng had already ordered someone to pour basins of water on Concubine Qi with a splash.
Waking up from the cold water, she suddenly got up from the ground, and kept backing away in a daze. She was extremely embarrassed, and the clothes on her body had a peculiar smell, which was caused by her previous incontinence. Her hair was loose, and the expression on her face was full of surprise.
She covered her head and kept thinking about what happened, but she only remembered that she didn't listen to her and wanted to attack her, as if she ran out later?
Why would Dun Zhe be disobedient?
And then, what happened?
It's just how to recall, my mind is always blurred.
She kept shaking her head, not noticing the cold eyes the emperor was looking at her at all, nor did she notice that there was a circle of people kneeling around her.
After giving the order, Emperor Jin Cheng turned to face the dark crowd. "Today, there was a dog disturbance in the palace, which harmed me and the empress. The culprit has been brought. The empress violated the law and committed the same crime as the common people. I will never engage in any malpractice for personal gain. Now I am bestowing upon my precious concubine the cherry blossoms."
Pear cherry blossom is a better way to say it.There were many criminal laws in the inner court of the Jin Dynasty. For example, at the beginning, Chen Zuoren and the others were punished with sticks, and the rest were punished with boards and whips.Among them, Liyingluo belongs to the combination of whipping and rod punishment. First, the whip is used to pull out the blood and flesh little by little. It requires an experienced whipping master. The flesh and blood must be splashed like blood foam. It will only hurt more and more, and when the flesh and blood are almost gone, the stick will be used, and the bones inside will be broken inch by inch, turning into pieces, but this person can't die yet.
When blood foam and white bones are mixed together, it becomes pear blossoms and cherry blossoms falling.
Those who heard it trembled, like quails.No one in the palace is ignorant of this criminal law. Often when young eunuchs just enter the palace, some of them are ignorant, and someone above them will tell them about the various punishment systems in the palace, which can often scare a group of people.
Only now did Concubine Qi come back to her senses, "Li Yingluo? No, I don't want Li Yingluo! Your Majesty, I beg you to be merciful!"
She threw herself at the feet of Emperor Jin Cheng, howling loudly.
At this time, a eunuch came to report, "Your Majesty, King Jianjun is asking to see you."
King Jian is the father of concubine Qi Gui, the hereditary king after the founding hero.
"No see!" The emperor was determined this time, he was too kind to these founding heroes, so that they allowed them to provoke the imperial power again and again.
Even if a dog bites a person, it seems that it is coming for me!
I also want to ask King Jian, what is his intention in sending his daughter to the palace? Does he want the dynasty to change his surname?
Concubine Qi Gui suddenly looked at Shao Huayang among the princes, as if she wanted to say something, but Shao Huayang's eyes were as cold as iron, which made her suddenly enlightened. She knew that if she said it today, with the second prince's domineering and vicious temperament, she would definitely not Let her go, can't say it!Expose this relationship, and both of them will be finished!
Fu Chen hid among the eunuchs, watching Concubine Qi hugging the emperor's leg, unwilling to let go, and the emperor raised his foot to shake her off, while the guards on the side were preparing the staff, at this moment, almost everyone was paying attention On them, they all forgot about the black dog that had been hiding all the time and hadn't been found until now.
Fu Chen looked at the seventh prince who had been paying attention to the emperor's surroundings, and then looked into the dark, with a pair of green eyes.
Remember that smell, now, attack him!
The black dog rushed towards the emperor with lightning speed without any defense.
Heiquan was huge, and when he rushed towards him, the guards were completely defenseless and couldn't stop him.
It exposed a bloody mouth, where the smell of fresh blood remained, and shreds of meat were still embedded between the teeth, it was terrifying.
The row closest to the emperor is the row where the prince is kneeling. Almost everyone's first reaction is to avoid danger.
After reading Fu Chen's hint before, Shao Huachi, who silently waited for an emergency, seized the opportunity, went the opposite way, stood up and rushed towards the emperor.
The black dog was very close to the emperor, so close that it had already bit the flesh on the arm of Emperor Jin Cheng. Although Emperor Jin Cheng possessed martial arts skills, he was addicted to wine and sex all the year round, and his reaction was not fast. He had never felt death so close to him.
At this moment, his face was livid, just when the black dog had just bit his arm, he was pushed away vigorously from the side, and Shao Huachi let himself go up instead.
"Father, be careful!"
It was too late, but soon, Shao Huachi had already been bitten!The blood soared to Emperor Jin Cheng's face, and it was warm to the touch.
In that instant, Shao Huachi was grabbed by the shoulder by the black dog and fell to the ground.
But other princes, such as the eldest prince Shao Mujian had already fled far away, and some other princes were stupefied in place, and some were still hesitating. At that moment, Emperor Jin Cheng seemed to see who was the truly filial person.
He still remembered his evaluation of Lao Qi, that this son was too sinister and embarrassing.
But now it is the prince who looks gloomy and gloomy in his eyes. The shame in his heart rushed out when everyone retreated, even at the expense of his life.
In such a short time, there is no reaction time, it is all the instinct of the body.And what did he do, just now he thought that this son came too late, he didn't care about the affairs of the palace, especially his current concubine and concubine who had the accident, unexpectedly Shan Shan came late, disrespectful and filial, it was useless for the queen to treat him like this good.
"What are you doing in a daze, don't hurry up and save the Seventh Prince!" Emperor Jin Cheng yelled at a group of guards who hadn't responded, and then looked at Shao Huachi, "Old Seven!"
Emperor Jin Cheng walked a few steps, but was stopped, Shao Huachi endured the pain, and said with difficulty: "Father, please go, I'm fine!"
Emperor Jin Cheng was taken aback for a moment, looking at the Seventh Prince whom he seemed to have never looked directly at.
He has too many children, and there are countless outstanding ones. For example, the third prince Shao Anlin, who is kind and kind and the next national teacher, and the sixth prince Shao Jintan, who has a talent for making money and fills the treasury from time to time, is very much like the second prince Shao Huayang when he was young. The clever and proud Eighth Prince Shao Huayan, and the Ninth Prince Shao Ziyu who is known as a humble child prodigy... There are too many excellent children. This deformed child is an existence that Emperor Jin Cheng wants to erase. In the eyes of the emperor, it is not perfect.
And only this imperfect prince, risking death at any time, would not let him get close.
Heart of a child!Lao Qi seems to be an unpleasant child, but he hides a pure filial piety.
He lived for most of his life, but he still couldn't see people's hearts clearly. His father was right, his eyes were blurred.
After Jin Chengdi's roar, the guards rushed over and beat the dog until it was bloody, but even though its body was broken in two, the black dog still bit the human flesh in its mouth before dying.
In a matter of seconds, Shao Huachi's shoulders were already dripping with blood, and half of his body was soaked into blood.
Before Shao Huachi fell into a coma, he looked at Fu Chen who was kneeling in the crowd from the corner of his eye: Is this what you reminded me of?
Do you want me to risk my life to gain a little attention or just want me to die?
In the situation just now, I would die at any time.
Fu Chen, you know that I have deep thoughts.
But who can understand you?
