[Red Chamber] Daiyu Reborn

Chapter 76: It's a Misunderstanding at dawn

When the fifth watch wind blows, Yun Ya leaves the palace with a team of guards.

The capital is under martial law, and everything is silent under the starry night, so even the slightest trace of it will trigger an inexplicable sense of treachery; what's more, after turning a few turns, the sound of horseshoes is getting closer and closer, and it is almost undisguised.

A guard approached Yun Ya, lowered his voice, and looked serious: "Your Majesty, you go first, we'll finish off!"

"No, follow me!" Yun Ya suddenly turned his horse's head and galloped in another direction; the guards hurriedly followed with their whips, looking in that direction, secretly startled, this is going to the county palace—after that street.

The soldiers patrolling the city have just patrolled here, will they come back in a while.The chasing soldiers became more and more rampant, and through the white moon and Jin Xing, it was vaguely discernible that this was a group of men in black clothes with a murderous look, holding long knives, with killing intent.

After chasing to a fork in the road, the man in black was stunned—from man to horse, they all disappeared!

Surrounded by a dark yard, there are no doors or windows. Could it be possible to climb over the wall with a horse?

"Cover your mouth and nose, and find a secret path." A man in the shape of a leader ordered the men in black to get off their horses and search, but at this moment, there was a "squeak" from the corner of the wall, and a bluestone slab at the entrance of the alley suddenly lifted up, and then It's the pungent smoke that spurts out——

"Cough cough, cough cough...not good, there is an ambush!"

But it was already too late, a group of guards with special masks jumped out from under the stone slabs, slashed mercilessly with their knives, and there was also the sound of muskets, and there was a scream of fighting and screaming.

The man in black was caught off guard and was quickly defeated.The sky was getting brighter, and under the rising sun, the guards looked at the corpses all over the ground, which was complicated and unspeakable.

Another stone slab was lifted, Yun Ya walked slowly up the ground along the stone steps, looked at the stunned guards, and ordered: "One or four people stay and watch, one person goes to Shuntian Mansion, and let Jia Yucun clean up these things." ;Others, follow me to see the emperor."

The guards looked at me and I looked at you, and finally had the courage to ask: "Your Majesty, did you dig the secret passage here?" It happened right behind the mansion of the Prince of Min Gong.

Yun Ya shook his head: "At the beginning, His Majesty ordered people to demolish half of the Yan Palace, but he forgot to demolish the ground floor."

"King Yan" was the title that the eldest prince Yun Wei had before his defeat and death.

Not daring to ask any more questions, the guards acted according to their words, and Yun Ya continued on his way.

……

It was a close call on the road, but when I got back to the paddock, I found that the paddock was also tense.The imperial physician was once again so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground. Hundreds of guards patrolled back and forth, but they still seemed to be stretched, and each of them trotted.Yun Ya grabbed a guard and asked, and learned that the emperor summoned the Cheng family girl who was lighting a bonfire at the explosion site early in the morning, but she didn't expect that girl to go there with a knife in her pocket!

—— Mian Sheng must unload his weapon, and he is not King Su, who dares to be so bold!

Before Yun Ya had time to question, he heard the guard continue: "At that time, the eldest princess and Miss Lin, who was accompanying her, were worried and accompanied them all the way. When they arrived at the door of the tent, seeing that they were going to be searched, Miss Cheng suddenly said that she was feeling tight and scared. Out of breath, the Eldest Princess accompanied her to stand under the shade of a tree... But, the girl took out a knife and stabbed the Eldest Princess while the guards were far away!"

"The eldest princess was stabbed in the arm, and the girl wanted to stab... Fortunately, Miss Lin stopped her, such a delicate little girl dared to grab the knife..."

Yun Ya was shocked, and immediately grabbed the guard: "What! Miss Lin is injured?"

The guard was taken aback, and he couldn't help stammering: "Yes...Miss Lin pinched the knife with her hand and was also injured. Don't worry, the king, Miss Lin is seriously injured... Fortunately, the guards went quickly and held the knife. Ms. Cheng... It's really strange. The eldest princess asked Miss Lin to check it out last night. At that time, Miss Cheng was a little sad, and there was nothing strange about it. Take it away..."

Yun Ya clenched his fists, the guard looked at him like this, and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, do you want to go and see Eldest Princess and Miss Lin?"

"No, I'll go face-to-face first." Suppressing the tension in her heart, Miss Lin is "safe" now.

Under the rising sun, there are still only Yun Shuo and Yun Zheng in the emperor's tent.The guarding garrison and even the serving servants found it extremely strange: King Su stayed in the emperor's tent all night, but the two brothers didn't fight, tsk tsk.

Yun Ya went back to life, Yun Shuo's eyes were still dark as night: "You said, you were intercepted!"

"Yes." Yun Ya knelt down, telling the story of life and death in detail, including that he used the secret path left by his father in order to fight back—Yun Shuo and Yun Zheng frowned when they heard this, But he didn't say anything.

Yun Ya told the truth about what the Empress Dowager said last night, but Yun Shuo and Yun Zheng fell into a strange silence.

Yun Ya gritted his teeth, and continued: "I think what the Empress Dowager said is right, and everything this time is aimed at the entire imperial family."

"Forbidden drugs in the palace were used to frame the Empress Dowager Grandmother; the explosion in the bonfire camp was intended to frame the fourth uncle; and this morning, that Miss Cheng attempted to assassinate and hurt the eldest princess." Yun Ya deliberately re-read The word "intention" was added with a sentence, "Even if the assassination fails, it will make people panic even more."

It was wishful thinking for a delicate girl to assassinate the emperor, so she had more strength?Not to mention the layers of inspection, even if Yun Shuo poked her while standing, she might not be able to poke him to death.What's subtle is that Lin Daiyu only "checked" the tents of the women's family members last night, and specially left a court lady to "watch" Miss Cheng. The sharp things should have been taken away, but Miss Cheng actually took out a knife this morning!

If Miss Lin hadn't been so courageous enough to snatch the knife with her hands, the account of the princess being injured would have been counted as Miss Cheng's wolfish ambition, and Lin Daiyu's negligence-or vicious associations, which is called "deliberately doing it" .

The witness who lost the gunpowder in the front of the palace under the control of King Su happened to be in Lin Rui's hands. King Su stayed in the emperor's tent to discuss last night, and he happened to witness the "blood debt" of the girl from the Lin family this morning. How could it be such a coincidence.

Yun Shuo understood what Yun Ya meant, but he didn't express anything. Looking at Yun Zheng, he asked indifferently, "Yun Ya's words are right. The incident in the paddock has caused panic and must be 'solved' as soon as possible. What does King Su think?"

Yun Zheng was even more indifferent, just nodded: "It's up to the emperor to decide."

Yun Shuo gave orders to the outside world: "The Empress Dowager is involved in the matter of explosives and poisons, so it is inconvenient to investigate clearly, but...the Tian family rules the world, and it must be fair and impartial. I will seek justice for those innocent victims." In this way, Fang lived up to the painstaking efforts of the empress dowager|grandmother; fortunately, Xiao Ruofan was in a coma, otherwise, I wouldn't even know how to be "selfless".

Yun Ya frowned——Sure enough, the court could be temporarily stabilized by pushing the matter to the Xiao family first; the Empress Dowager killed her servant overnight, which was exactly what she meant by "guilty heart".

However, this only temporarily "solved" the problems of bonfire camp explosions and medicinal materials mixed with poison. What is more complicated and untouchable like a gunpowder keg is the party struggle between the emperor and King Su, and the imperial court.

The gunpowder lost in front of the palace, the assassination this morning... How do the emperor and King Su think about it, and what are their plans?

Yun Shuo did not express his position for the time being, but only ordered: "Yun Ya, you go down first. Then let the imperial doctor look at your injuries."

Yun Ya had no choice but to back down, unexpectedly Yun Zheng was faster than him, he just said "Resignation", turned around and left.

Yun Shuo's next order was urgent, and both Yun Ya and Yun Zheng could vaguely hear it—"Let Lin Rui come here."

……

When Lin Rui faced the saint, he never expected that the emperor would tell him an old story: There used to be a third prince in Xuanzhen Temple, but now the third prince is still alive and dead, shrouding the capital like a nightmare.

After telling the story, Yun Shuofang sneered: "When Yun Ya came, he was intercepted and killed. He didn't even spare the next generation. It really is insane, it really is... as vicious as Yunyi."

"Your Majesty believes that all these incidents are caused by Feng Tang, the old subordinate of the Third Prince." Lin Rui frowned and raised doubts, "But I don't understand how Feng Tang has been under the supervision of the Emperor and King Su all these years, how could he develop?" With such power?"

"This point, up to now, is nothing more than a 'confused guess' between King Su and I. It is said that Yun Yi once suggested that the father should use the internal guard system of the previous dynasty, and select loyal people from among the generals and courtiers. , set up a group of dark troops who only obeyed the emperor's orders, to monitor the courtiers and eliminate dissidents. At that time, the emperor was fighting with Prince Yunhua, and the court was already unstable, and it cost more than a few dollars to train a group of dark troops Years; I am just guessing, maybe there is no such thing at all, or maybe it's just that the training has not been completed."

The scary thing is the latter.The training has not been completed, that is to say, it has not been fully delivered to the hands of the Supreme Emperor. If the third prince intends to control it, then this group of dark troops will be a serious threat to the imperial court.Lin Rui guessed: "Could it be Feng Tang who trained the dark army?"

Yun Shuo narrowed his eyes, with a smile that was not a smile: "Yunyi has always been good at dividing and conquering, how could it be possible to rely on Feng Tang alone. The one who trained this group of dark troops was Jia Jing, a student of the emperor who used to be the Duke of Ning."

Lin Rui had heard that Jia Jing was the grandson of Ning Guogong Jia Yan. It was said that he was addicted to Taoism and eventually died of abdominal distension after taking Jindan.Jia Jing's place of "Qingxiu" is exactly the Xuanzhen Temple outside the capital.

"After Yunyi's death, Jia Jing died because of taking Jindan to inflate his abdomen. The so-called 'dark army' was only a theory after all. It is ridiculous that Yunyi seldom used gold stones in alchemy, and most of them were herbs. Bleeding from seven holes is more reliable than a burning belly. King Su and I used to think that he was afraid of being implicated by Yunyi, so he escaped from his shell and feigned death; In a thousand miles'." I'm afraid, Jia Jing and Feng Tang have never broken their hook-ups, right under his and Yun Zheng's noses... really, they have grown old.

Lin Rui has only heard such a story so far, and instead of being overwhelmed with emotion by the emperor, he thought of another thing: Jia Yuanchun's unreal title of concubine, especially the emperor's inexplicable insistence three years ago—— In any case, the Jia family must be allowed to enter the court and play with the big guys, even if it is to be a stage where someone smashes the cabbage, it must not be "observed by the bystanders".

"I don't lack that Lumi, so I might as well raise a few more idlers." Seeing his doubts, Yun Shuo admitted readily, "I originally wanted to find Jia Jing through Ning Rong's second residence, so I let them run up and down. .If Jia Jing still has contact with the family, according to the ambition and stupidity of the family, he will definitely think of using the so-called dark army. Unfortunately, after so many years, nothing has been achieved."

Perhaps, like Yun Yi, Jia Jing has really left his "home" from the moment he entered Xuanzhen Temple.

Lin Rui was thinking about it when he suddenly heard the emperor ask: "I ask you, if the capital is in chaos for half a month, how long will it take you to restore 'normal'?"

Although he didn't know why the emperor asked such a question, Lin Rui thought about it, and answered truthfully: "It will take three days." When the eldest prince rebelled, it was almost like this.

"You said it will take three days, and King Su is about the same." Yun Shuo nodded, and asked again, "What about the navy camp?"

"Half a day." That was his base camp.

Yun Shuo nodded again, but raised his lips again, and asked the last question: "If King Su rebelled, what do you think, how will I treat you?"

The author has something to say: About Xuanzhen Temple: This is the place where Jia Jing (Jia Zhen’s father) took pills and died in the original book~

Regarding the Secret Way: As mentioned earlier, the two His Majesties left Yun Wei’s half of the palace to Yun Ya, so this is a "legacy"~
