The majestic sister-in-law of the Red Chamber

The war between the imperial court and the vassals with different surnames has lasted for nearly three years, and everyone's spirits have gradually become exhausted.

Recently, the atmosphere in the capital has become more and more tense amidst all kinds of rumors and rumors. Almost everyone can feel the sense of urgency that the war is approaching. The prices of grain, oil and vegetables in the city are rising again and again. Even though the emperor had ordered someone to open a granary to stabilize the price of grain as much as possible by means of limited purchases, the effect was still unsatisfactory. After all, many aristocrats from aristocratic families who were not short of grain suddenly joined the ranks of snapping up grain.

Not only that, the city gates of the capital city have changed from opening at [-] o'clock at Yinshi and closing at [-]:[-] at Xushi to only opening for one hour at noon every day, and the number of city gates that are open every day has also been reduced to two.

At the same time, the number of soldiers stationed at the city gate and responsible for interrogation has also doubled, and the inspection of people entering and leaving has become more careful and strict.All the soldiers of the Tongzhou camp that had been stationed on the outskirts of the capital were also transferred back, and began to step up their defenses on the city wall.

This change made the atmosphere in the capital even more tense. The news of the imperial court's defeat, which had been widely circulated, seemed to be confirmed at this moment. Everyone became restless and restless, and even many Many people in the capital fled to the countryside with their families.

All of a sudden, the flourishing capital city became extremely depressed. The restaurants and restaurants that used to be full of people are now cold and cold, and there are not even one or two customers at lunch time.

"Mengmeng, how many big fish do you think we can catch this time?" Sitting in a box on the third floor of a restaurant near the city gate, Lin Tian ate the delicious food on the table while Seeing the long line of people below who were in a hurry to get out of the city, he asked in a dispirited manner.

"Hehe!" Situ Meng sneered, looked at the crowd below with cold eyes, and said indifferently: "The nobles of these aristocratic families are cautious enough! While following Situ Yong, that reckless man is preparing to force the palace, delusional to restore something The aristocratic family was enjoying the grand occasion of the emperor ruling the world together, but at the same time, they tried every means to leave a way for their own family.

Do you really think that letting your descendants disguise themselves as ordinary people and take part of the gold, silver and jewelry out of the capital to hide them will keep your blood flowing?How naive, do you think my shadow troops are all vegetarians?snort!None of these guys can be let go! "

"You're right. Look, there are quite a few familiar guys out there!" Lin Tian said, pointing to those guys in the crowd who were still aggressive and arrogant from the bottom of their bones even though they were wearing civilian clothes, and smiled. He said: "What do you think these gangsters can do without the protection of the family? Don't say anything about making a comeback in the future. I think it will be difficult for them to support themselves!"

"Hmph! They have already brought enough money, so they can live comfortably without doing anything for the rest of their lives!" Situ Meng curled his lips disdainfully, he didn't like any of these guys.

"Hehe..." Lin Tian chuckled indifferently, and said: "It might be okay if they are like the common people around them, but if they really hide huge sums of money, then they are in danger! That's the same as children There is no difference in making troubles with gold ingots, and in the end, there will be no scum left! Maybe, without other people doing anything, those who are responsible for protecting them will directly guard and steal themselves!"

"Eh..." Situ Meng stroked his forehead, and then laughed, and said, "What you said makes sense! However, the duty is to arrest them all when they leave the capital! It belongs to the court, so we can't let them just take it away and waste it!"

"Well, the people from the shadows have already set their sights on them. When you go out of the city and go to a place with few people in the suburbs, you can do it! You don't need to reveal your identity, or it will cause trouble, so you can simply pretend to be a robbing bandit. By the way, Their entourage sent back a few reports. Thinking about it, those aristocratic families will be more convinced of the news of the imperial court's defeat! Situ Yong will definitely not continue to wait in order to get the throne, we will wait for them Just do it!"

Lin Tian said, took a sip of the juice in the glass, nodded, and said: "This mixed juice tastes really good. I will ask for a prescription later, so I can drink it directly in the house in the future!"

"As long as you like it!" Situ Meng said, adding a piece of vegetarian meat to Lin Tian's bowl, and said with a bit of emotion: "Oh, the filial piety for the father and emperor is over, and it's hard to be able to eat meat. After two meals, it was ruined again! Fortunately, the chef has researched that the vegetarian dishes can also be made into meat, otherwise it will really drive people crazy!"

"Yes!" Lin Tian said, unceremoniously put the vegetarian meat that Situ Meng gave her into his mouth and chewed slowly, and after swallowing it, he continued: "This empress dowager's filial piety It's almost over now, and when the last wave of rebels is dealt with, we can open a restaurant specializing in vegetarian food, and I think the business will definitely be very good!"

"Hehehehe..." Situ Meng looked at Lin Tian's helpless expression, but smiled even more heartily.

Compared with Lin Tian and Situ Meng's tens of thousands of equipment, only waiting for Dongfeng's relaxation and comfort, Situ Yong is like an ant on a hot pot these days. Although he has negotiated various conditions with the family, secretly Frequent secret consultations.

But there was always a trace of uneasiness and tension in his heart, especially when he entered the palace to visit Concubine Zhen, he found that his mother had suffered a stroke and was completely paralyzed on the bed, and at the same time, she couldn't utter a word with her eyes crooked. There was incomparable uneasiness in his heart, and there was even a fear that he himself didn't realize.

Situ Yong has long been accustomed to his mother's help in controlling and arranging important matters. He lost his dependence for a while, and he was in a hurry. If it weren't for the people sent by the Zhen family and his advisers to help plan, he I'm afraid I already don't know what to do.

Regarding Situ Yong's reaction, the aristocrats of the aristocratic family secretly rejoiced in their hearts. The more incompetent he is, it means that even after the rebellion succeeds, he will be more dependent on them. Talents have more room to display, and it is easier for them to realize that the aristocratic family and the emperor rule the world together.

"How, how? Are you all ready? Do you really want to choose the day after tomorrow when you will be filial piety?" Situ Yong looked at himself who was secretly returning to Beijing with a bit of anxiety and excitement. Uncle Zhen Yingjia.

"My lord, this is the most suitable time after we have discussed it over and over again!" Zhen Yingjia looked confident, and said: "After our investigation, the emperor will definitely prepare a banquet in the palace on the day of the filial piety. Prince Zhongshun, Situ Meng, and that difficult girl from the Lin family will all come back to participate!

Our people have already made complete preparations. At that time, we will put a special medicinal powder researched by the Miao people in the food and drinks of the banquet. When combined with the fragrance of the cosmos in the imperial garden, it will form in the human body. A strong poison that makes the whole body weak and limbs weak. Even a master with deep inner strength can barely resist it and cannot force it out of the body.

We don't need to do anything more, when they take effect, they can only be slaughtered by us!When the time comes, let Situ Qing obediently write down the edict of abdication, and your succession will be justified.

You know, those noble families and elders in the imperial court all support us. As for those poor people from poor families that Situ Qing has promoted in recent years, I am afraid that all of them will pee their pants in fright, and how dare they come out to refute? , unless they don't want to die!

He, Situ Qing, is incompetent and can't deal with the Xining County King and Nan'an County King, but we are different!Leaving aside those noble families who are on our side, as well as the governor of Liangjiang, Mr. Ga Li, who holds a heavy army, is also our solid backing. It will only be a matter of time before they are wiped out! "

"Well, I listened to my uncle's arrangements. It's just that the emperor and the empress have managed the palace like an iron bucket since the concubine's mother fell ill. It's hard to find someone who prescribes the medicine! In the end, the emperor and the empress's meals were all arranged by the small kitchen. From the ingredients to the table, there would never be more than three people who could come into contact with them, and they were all people who the empress could absolutely trust.

Besides, there is a little eunuch who is proficient in medicinal materials to taste the food before the entrance. Will our plan be discovered? " Situ Yong asked with some worry.

"Hehe! Don't worry, my lord. Now that I've reached this point, my uncle won't hide it from you. In fact, the one who helped out this time is the former No. [-] counselor in the prince's mansion, Jia Jing from Ningguo Duke's mansion, Mr. Jia!

And this time the one who was in charge of tampering with the food in the palace was their concubine de concubine from the Jia family. Tell me, can this be done? "Zhen Yingjia said complacently.

"Concubine De? Hahahaha... This is a good idea! Let Situ Qing see what it feels like to be betrayed by the person he trusts the most!" Situ Yong became more and more excited as he thought about it, wishing that the day of filial piety would come soon .

In the courtyard of Jia Jing in Ningguo Duke's Mansion, he was still practicing Tai Chi at a leisurely pace, and he was still the servant from last time, standing by the side with a respectful face and reporting the recent situation in a low voice.

"Master, my subordinates have already told Situ Yong and the others that the concubine de concubine will personally add medicine to the emperor's meal before the banquet. But, we haven't contacted concubine de concubine yet, what if it doesn't work?" asked hesitantly.

"Hehe, of course it won't work!" Jia Jing smiled mysteriously and said, "I never thought of letting that girl do this!"

"Ah?" The servant looked confused, completely unaware of what kind of medicine Jia Jing was selling in this gourd.

"Hehe, if Situ Yong kills the emperor so smoothly, then what's the matter with us? You know, only a fisherman can benefit from a fight with a snipe and a clam!" Jia Jing glanced at this person, secretly thinking in his heart. Shaking his head, this subordinate has absolutely nothing to say about his sincerity, but this kind of brain is always stubborn, but he needs such a person, and if his brain is too flexible, he would not dare to treat him like this as a confidant.

"Besides, my good aunt is in two boats. She always wants to please both sides and get something for nothing. How can this work? You know, I can't write two Jia characters in one stroke. When I succeed in the future, they will also Follow Yifei, then of course, before that, let them get on the same boat as us! What can be more effective and quicker than giving the emperor the medicine directly!" Jia Jing punched, Said slowly.

"Yes, yes, master, this is a good way!" The servant nodded repeatedly.

"Well, how are our people preparing? You know, the Tongzhou camp has been transferred back to the capital by the emperor. When there is an accident in the palace, they will definitely come over as soon as possible, and leave it to us. There is not much time, and we must act quickly when the time comes!" Jia Jing said seriously.

"Master, don't worry! Our people have already entered the top ranks of the Yulin Army. When the time comes, the palace will be closed and locked. Even if the people from the Tongzhou Camp come, they can only watch outside. The subordinates will not believe it." How dare they force their way into the gate of the palace!" The servant said confidently.

"Well, the effect of the drug that the Zhen family got is really good. The most important thing now is to find a way to get both Situ Meng and Lin girl to be recruited. Only when they both fall down can we get what we want. The result is a lose-lose!

Otherwise, all our previous deployments will be empty talk!Although, I haven't really seen them exert their full strength, but judging from the information we found before, the strength of this young couple is beyond imagination.And the priests around the emperors, you must also pay attention to precautions! "Jia Jing ordered lightly.

"Master, don't worry, the subordinates will make arrangements immediately to ensure that nothing goes wrong. That thing is not poison in the first place, and it will remain in the body for about ten days. It will only take effect when it encounters the fragrance of cosmos. As long as you think about it ten days before the palace banquet If there is a way to let them eat it without knowing it, they will definitely not find out!" The servant promised firmly.

"Well, you go! Everything is ready, success or failure depends on one move!" Jia Jing said, and couldn't help but think of the scenes when he was with the former prince, and he remained silent for a long time.
