Slightly retracting the waist and abdomen, inhaling and concentrating, with a throw of the left hand, an arc of light flew out, right in the middle of the bull's-eye painted on the wall with the dipping sauce soup earlier.

Hey, it's the 13th time, standing, sitting, lying down or even squatting, without exception, it's not a hit, it's really boring!The person on the wooden bed sighed, stretched his legs and lay flat, with his hands behind his head, not intending to pick up the blackened piece of dough that fell on the ground, and only sighed towards the low roof.

Speaking of which, the cell is too cramped, with five and a half steps from north to south and four steps from east to west (he measured it no less than ten times on the first day he entered), a low bed, a small table and a small wooden stool, taking up most of the space , the rest is not enough for him to stretch his legs.

This is called unforeseen circumstances, the political situation in the court is turbulent, within half a day, he, Guo Kai, who has made great contributions, has been reduced to a prisoner under his rank, and now the crime involves conspiracy, ranging from assassination, to death, or even death. Wouldn't it be sad that it might bring disaster to the nine races?Although it is said that death is inevitable for everyone, how can you bear to involve your family?What's more, the general, the horse leather shroud in the bloody battlefield is the only way to die. It is really unwilling to die because of an unknown chaos in the current situation!

There was a "clang" outside, interrupting the self-pity of the person on the bed: breakfast is here.

Uncovering the food box, he saw four or five dishes, including porridge soup and various snacks, all of which he loves on weekdays, and he felt at ease: as long as the two meals (1) can still be delivered, it means that the family is safe and has not been affected yet. implicated. (2)

Roughly speaking, he has been imprisoned in this palace prison (3) for more than ten days, and he has not been arraigned until now. If it is not that the case is too involved and the remnants of the rebellion against the party have not been brought to justice, it is——Shao ​​Jingheng has made up his mind Sentenced without trial, beheaded first and then played, lynching him!

This thought is definitely not his idle speculation.

First of all, the inside story of this conspiracy case is strange.Although it is not impossible for Hou Chaozhong to rebel, it remains to be seen who is rebelling?If the emperor Mu Yunqi, who was always fighting cocks and horses, was absurd and wanton, Guo Kai would be 4% faithful, but the Queen Mother...even if he had only returned to Beijing for half a year, Guo Kai knew that Hou Chaozhong was single-handedly promoted and compared for the Queen Mother Shao. The relatives of the Shao family are no less cronies!Because he is the Hou court against the Queen Mother, it is tantamount to pushing the wall down the tree, self-destructing the backing, and saying that the dog bites its master, what is the original intention?independent?joke!The Daxi Dynasty suppressed martial arts, even if the commander of an army was as great as his Hou Chaozhong, the Queen Mother could not order the Privy Council to issue military amulets ([-]), even a single soldier could not move out of the Forbidden Army camp!However, the current situation is that the soldiers were sent out, and the queen mother was also killed in the chaos. What does this mean?emperor?Even though he has the city and the courage, without the consent of the queen mother, the imperial edict to send troops cannot leave the imperial city at all!

Then there is only Shao Jingheng.

This person is insidious by nature. Although the queen mother is her aunt, it is not impossible to kill close relatives in a struggle for power and profit. As for the reasons, there are no more than two points: First, the queen mother and the Shao family are called blood relatives, but they are not!This is not a secret, the Empress Dowager was born in the market (it is also said that she used to be a kabuki), and she taught the late emperor, who was still a prince, to fancy her, but she was not allowed to enter the palace because of her birth. Shao Jingheng's father) home, after he ascended the throne, he was simply ordered to change his surname to Shao, and she was known as the concubine of the Shao family to the outside world. No wonder; two, the power and interests, if one grows, the other will disappear. Although the Queen Mother relies on the Shao family, she is also afraid of gaining power, so she uses the power of the Shao family to eliminate dissidents and control the court. Suppressing the Shao clan caused Shao Jingheng to hold grudges, and he wanted to get rid of it quickly, which is also why.

As for the ability to do things, the two armies of "Pengri" and "Tianwu" in front of the temple are nominally the emperor's own army, but in fact they are under Shao Jingheng's control, and he is the only one in the three yamen who does not need imperial edicts and secret orders to dispatch troops, which can be said to be close to the water!

Up to now, the empress dowager's cronies are inevitable, and the privy envoy Li Yun must be dismissed. If there is no accident, the successor is undoubtedly the deputy envoy Ding Zhibai. This person is Shao Jingheng's father, Shao Chenyun. Teachers and students, even after Shao Chenyun's death, Ding and Shao's family are still in close contact (in fact, Ding has promised his niece to Shao Jingheng, and the wedding will only be held when the latter's filial piety expires), and Shao Jingheng is also a friend who has forgotten the years, because in the future, The Shaw family may really be able to cover the sky with one hand in the dynasty.

After sorting out these points, Guo Kai was in despair: he never thought that he and Shao Jingheng had a long-cherished wish, and the justice of heaven had not yet been manifested, but he was implicated in a messy incident that caused him to die without a fight.If he had known this before, he would never have been arrested that day!But to take Shao Jingheng's life to be buried with him is also considered a bad breath, it is a hundred times better than the current situation, to live in trouble and die silently.

Just as he was sighing to himself, there was another sound of unlocking the door, and Guo Kai stood up in a start: Could it be that he is going to go to court to pass the trial?Or... the time has come to urge him to die?As soon as he thought of this, he became angry and stared straight at the door, as if he wanted to turn his gaze into a sharp arrow. When the door opened, he was facing the lonely face that made him hate him so much.However……

With a bang, the door was locked and opened, and the face that met his eyes was familiar but unremarkable—it was just the jailer who delivered meals to him every day.The man stood in front of the door with crossed hands: "General Guo, you can leave."

"Le-go?" He swallowed, and Guo Kai's face, which had dissipated his anger, gradually gathered confusion, as if muttering to himself: "Where are you going?"

"It's up to you." The jailer made way aside, and the jailer smiled apologetically: "I just got the order. You have been released and you can go."

released?can go?This means... His head was saved?Even, exile is not necessary? ?This is real?Or - dreaming?

The midday sun shone wildly, dazzling his face.Raising the sleeves to block it slightly, the breeze blowing on the face cleared the mind that had been chaotic for a long time, and suddenly looked back, on the top of the tall and wide mahogany door, the three characters "Dianqiansi" were strong and resolute, without showing prestige.

Stop for a moment, let out a long breath—it turns out that everything is true!After more than ten days in prison, he, Guo Kai, was able to escape from the prison in front of the palace unscathed, which is truly a miracle.

He looked up to the sky and laughed three times, flicked his clothes, and walked away.

In March in Yanjing, the wind is warm and the flowers are flying like a dream.I revisited the market I hadn't set foot in for half a month, only to realize that there are many previously unknown benefits, that is, the sound of soliciting customers and selling goods that I am used to and I am tired of, is actually pleasing to the ear at this moment. Fortunately, misfortune is past and disaster is gone to cherish blessings!

The crowd ahead is thinning out, but the scenery is familiar.Walking forward for more than ten feet, you will see a tall mansion with a wide door, which looks similar to that of the Dianqiansi.Guo Kai strode forward to the door of Zhumen, raised his head and saw the words "Secretary of Guards and Infantry", shining brightly above his head.

"Commander of the Forbidden Army, don't trespass?" He stepped up the steps with one step, but he heard someone's voice yelling.Looking up, the gatekeepers were glaring at each other.

Guo Kai was startled, and lowered his head to look at himself: the clothes were added to the body, and the military contract was handed over to the front office of the palace on the same day, so no one would recognize it.After thinking for a while, he simply reported his name and surname, but he didn't want the soldiers to remain cold-faced: "The Infantry Division has imposed martial law from now on, and those who are not ordered by generals are not allowed to enter!"

"General order?" Guo Kai frowned: "Who is the general order?"

The answer was: "Dianqian Secretary!"

Hearing these three words, Guo Kai's expression turned serious, and he gritted his teeth to suppress the anger rushing to the top of his head: This was expected!No matter how unfair it is, Guo Kai is only a body for sin now, but how dare he boss him around?

He raised his head and took another deep look at the five characters of "Guardian Infantry Division" shining brightly in the sunlight, and finally he flicked his sleeves and left resentfully.

Wandering along the street, Guo Kai's previous leisurely mood has disappeared.

Now that things are going on, Shao Jingheng's ambition to annex the Infantry Division and expand his military power is already evident. In the future, it is necessary to clean up the three offices and cut off dissidents!And even though Guo Kai had to temporarily spare Guo Kai's life because of Wang Jia's strength or the princess's intercession (because of a mere commander, no one to rely on, no talent, no wisdom, no way to hinder him), he would never do it again Let him lead the army!Because of this, Guo Kai thought that his official career might stop there.

With a long sigh, he was full of desolation: he has been a soldier for many years, he has fought in the east and the west, and all his achievements have been in vain in the end, not to mention that he has lived up to the ardent expectations of his mother He Da Niang for ten years, he is really ashamed.Besides, once the fame and fame are gone, what should I do in the future?Although there are not many idlers like him in the family, but the seven-foot man retreats at home all day long and enjoys his success, but he has such a face?In this way, even his brother who is buried in the pile of fans is really inferior: no matter how bad it is, Guo Jian has now established a business and a family. Then he is ranked second in the family, and in front of the second princess, how dare he call himself "big"?), this life can be regarded as a success.On the other hand, not to mention being alone, how can you be so embarrassing if you have to rely on your parents to support you at a young age? ...

Full of melancholy, suddenly feel ashamed to go home, just want to find a place to get drunk and rest.Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly felt a weight on his shoulders, and when he turned his head, he saw several gray shadows dangling in front of his eyes. He hurriedly turned around, only to see clearly that it was a herring several feet long. Only the hands with distinctly slender but slightly rough knuckles.

"What... are you doing?" Guo Kai didn't know why.

The body of the fish sank, revealing a fair and delicate face behind it.Seeing the upturned nose shrugged, a hint of willfulness appeared in the confusion: "Second shopkeeper, don't you recognize me? I'm Xun Miao!"
