Brother Donggong
Chapter 111
Old Cui continued, "Starting from April this year, the newly elected political envoys of Zhejiang and Fujian are all from the side of the Third Highness Jia Wang. Then the taxes of these provinces, except for the account books of the Ministry of Households, are included in the national treasury. Those, and the rest, are all private accounts of the Du family and the third child."
I've heard all of what Old Cui said.But I thought, Wen Zhan has Wen Zhan's considerations, and besides, there is that old saying that if you are not in the position, you don't plan for the government, so I didn't think much about it.
Now that Lao Cui mentions it, it seems that Wen Zhan has done a stupid thing that cannot be tolerated.
I just asked casually, "What's going on?"
Cui Bicheng snorted coldly, "What he did was caught by others. It's because he is stupid. Who can blame him? Also, didn't he want the Du family's black account? Then I'll make it clear, that thing It’s in my hands, and I put it in a tight place, a place that no one can think of! It’s not in Yongjing, nor in Yongjia, it’s a place they can’t even imagine!”
"I give that account book to anyone, but I just don't give it to him!"
"Not only did I not give it to him, but I hung him up. It's like holding a big fresh and delicious bun to a hungry dog. I'll starve him to death! Let's see what he can do to me!"
Hearing such stupid words, and seeing Lao Cui's flat face, I raised my hands and rubbed them on my temples, so that my slight headache could be relieved.
"Old Cui, I won't say much else. I'll just ask you. It's okay if you're fighting against Wen Zhan now, but what do you want to do after he ascends the throne?"
"Enthronement?"
Cui Bicheng glanced sideways at the splendid palace of the Eastern Palace and the towering dripping eaves, and said with a sneer, "Hmph, it's not certain whether the chair in the Dazheng Palace will be his in the end! Don't say anything else, he I don't have a son yet, so I'm going for this. If your old man wants to pass on the throne, he really needs to weigh it carefully.
I heard that when your old man came to the throne when he was young, he didn't have any children for ten years after he became emperor. Because of this, the government and the opposition almost pulled him down from the throne.
Then you were born, and that was the end of it.Oh no, it's not over yet.If you want to say that those old courtiers are really stubborn, if you said that you are not the son of the current emperor, you must have been killed, and your aunt and Cui's family would have been executed. If the emperor hadn't killed the six ministers who wrote the letter, that matter Dazheng Dynasty can be tossed and broken.
The emperor had lingering fears after learning from the past.Now that the prince is messing around like this again, the concubine is driving him crazy. This son will definitely not be born for a while, and even if he is born, he will be an idiot. Who dares to hand over the millennium foundation of Dazheng to him? "
I felt like I was beating a drum when I heard it, and my face was red and white for a while.
Old Cui also said, "By the way, Chengzi, when I mentioned this, I remembered it. You should stop messing with him in the future. Even if outsiders don't know about the matter between you, the old man, the emperor, is like a mirror in his heart. Don't Wait until the end, the crown prince will bring shame on himself, and even ruin you. Now that your old man is still there, I won’t say much, if you wait for the emperor to really ride a crane, you wait to listen to me, and He cut it clean. I did it for your own good."
My eyes look away.
After a while, he muttered, "Don't worry about my business."
Old Cui didn't speak.
He kept staring at me like that, and I felt like his eyes were on fire, sure to burn a hole in me.
After a long time, he said, "Well, from now on, don't worry about my affairs!"
I muttered again, "I never mind your business."
"Really?" Cui Bicheng's voice returned to the frivolous and indifferent voice of the past. He said with a smile, "It seems that I was wrong. At that time, the crown prince used my private account to force you to submit. I think it was your own will. I Let’s just say, things like personal affairs can’t be slapped with a single slap..."
There was a blur in front of my eyes, I didn't stop for a while, I staggered, and fell in front of the peach blossom tree.
My ears are buzzing and I can't hear anything.
I never thought about telling Cui Bicheng about that matter, nor did I think about letting him accept my love.
I just can't let the feud between him and the crown prince build up.They don't understand Wen Zhan, they bully Wen Zhan when he is young, they think that if they have wealth and power, they can seek the crown prince. I can't say they are daydreaming, because the court situation is chaotic and complicated, indeed anything is possible occur.
In case Wen Zhan dies, gets injured, or becomes disabled, the crown prince will definitely not be Wen Zhan anymore.But other than that, as long as Wen Zhan still wants that seat, the final owner of Dazheng Palace will not be anyone else!
Now that my father is here, he dotes on my mother and me, and the Cui family has support.
But what about the future?
What about the future?
Why can't they think more about the future?
After all, the crown prince is my father's biological son and his preferred heir after all.If the concubine and Jiaoer are favored again, can the favor surpass the future emperor of Dazheng?
Cui Bicheng squatted down slowly in front of me, he raised his finger, brushing away the broken hair blocking my face.
Only then did he speak, "I didn't mean to hurt you. My words are ugly, and it's for your own good. I know you like the prince, but you can like everyone in the world as you like, but you can't like him! You are too narrow-minded. In fact, if you like someone, you will treat him as well as possible, but the prince is a wolf cub, he will chew you until there is no bone left."
I said with difficulty, "I don't like him."
Cui Bicheng said, "That means I was wrong, and I hope I was wrong. This is the best."
At this moment, a sobbing voice came from over there, "Hey, Cheng Yi is here too, why are you sitting on the ground talking?"
When Cui Bicheng and I turned our heads, it was Du Yuchan.
The corners of his eyes were red, and his voice seemed to be choked with tears.
Looking at his appearance, I can hardly think of one of the limited poems I can memorize: ——Holding hands and looking at teary eyes, I was speechless and choked up.
Cui Bicheng stood up and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
I was pulled up by Cui Bicheng, and I asked, "Is the concubine okay?"
After asking, I felt like an idiot.
A good big girl, who is only breathed after being played by this world, I will say a hypocritical greeting, 'Is she okay', this is simply more of a jerk than a jerk.
Who would have thought that Du Yuchan would say, "She is very nice. She is served very carefully when eating and drinking, and living here is very peaceful. I don't have to worry about inexplicable things every day. If possible, I want to be like her too." .”
I thought Young Master Du was talking ironically, but I looked at his face carefully, his face was calm and his eyes were soft.His eyes were on the side hall, beside the precious sandalwood carved wooden table, with his back to us, sat a beautiful woman in palace costume.Her slender neck is soft but proudly upright, like a swan wandering back and forth in Taiye Pond, leisurely, but doing nothing.
That is the concubine Du Minghe.
No matter how beautiful she is and how prominent her status is, her back at this time always looks lonely. )
Du Yuchan said, "Seeing her like this, I can leave with peace of mind."
I grabbed him and said, "Don't, don't think about it! Although this world is filthy and insensitive, there are still good people like me alive in the world. You have to be grateful, see hope and light, like a Like a real warrior, face the tragic life, live bravely and happily!"
boom!
Cui Bicheng knocked on my forehead violently.
He raised his eyebrows and said, "Master Du is not going to die, he is just going back to his hometown in Kunshan."
Me, "Huh? Why, is life in Yongjing not good?"
Du Yuchan said flatly, "Yongjing is good. The brocade land and the sky have been blowing across the rivers and rainy mountains for 1000 years. The prosperity is a blinding sight. I can't see through it, but I see it lightly."
I,"……"
Du Xiaogong made such a pile for me in a cloud of fog, what does he mean by this?I stared at him dumbfounded, but he was as peaceful as a jade statue enshrined in a deep palace in Qishan.
In the end, it was Cui Bicheng who said, "He is going back to his hometown in Kunshan to learn to sing Kunqu opera. Didn't I buy a troupe from Jiangnan? He followed me to see the Peony Pavilion and fell in love with singing Kunqu opera. He said that since then Zen can be seen in the play."
I always feel that Mr. Du is not a mortal.
In the beautiful Peony Pavilion, I can only see that the people raised by Humi white fish have good skin and good figure; old Cui is a naughty ruffian, who just wants to wait for others to finish singing the opera, so that he can help the famous actor to the gums , to play with wantonly; while Du Xiaogongzi, from the extreme beauty of the world, sees the meaning of Zen, this... Is it true that form is emptiness?It seems that he has enlightened.
At this point, my mood was extremely complicated.
I don't know whether I should feel sad that he is about to leave Yongjing and his relatives, or feel happy that he will eventually jump out of the Three Realms because of his enlightenment.
I looked at Du Yuchan with distorted eyes, but he smiled, "Chengyi, don't believe him. Ji Zhang likes to joke. Nine and a half out of ten sentences he said are true, but the most important sentence is true." is fake.
It's true that I went back to Kunshan, but not to learn to sing Kunqu opera, um, but that's what people outside said.I went back, in fact, to escape marriage.
The elder and the younger elder want to give me to Qi Luyu, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, to be his son-in-law. I am not interested in the power of soldiers and horses in the hands of Qi Butang, and his daughter who looks like a mace, so I just pack up. Pi went back to his hometown and fled for his life. "
I couldn't laugh or cry when I heard it.
Du Xiaogong's good canna plant was mixed with Cui Bicheng into a foxtail plant.
However, I also understand that it's just a cover that he doesn't want Qi Butang's mace girl, he doesn't want to get involved in the Du family, the real story is the scuffle between King Jia and the crown prince.
"I'm a useless person. I offended Chu Qiangsheng. If I can't pass the Jinshi exam, I can't be an official. Mr. Ge, Mr. Ge once said that in my life, I can't enter the Du family's family, and I can't enter the Du family's grave when I die. In the past few years, I have The Du family can still have something to eat, but it depends on having Ji Zhang as a good friend, Xiaoge is always selfish, so naturally he has to give in a step."
Du Yuchan harbored resentment, and even his own grandfather and father only called Ge Lao and Xiao Ge Lao.
clang! ——
It was the sound of a small stone falling to the ground.
"What are you talking about to him?" Cui Bicheng suddenly interrupted Du Yuchan unhappily, "This matter has nothing to do with him."
"Listen to what I have to say. Cheng Yi, Ji Zhang is a nice person, but he is a bit stupid. He is honest and reckless. To put it bluntly, this is called loyalty, courage, chivalry, and kindness. cannon fodder."
Cui Bicheng wanted to cover Du Yuchan's mouth, but Du Yuchan avoided it.
Don't look at Du Xiaogong's usual weak appearance, in fact, he is proficient in the six arts, can ride horses, and can shoot arrows. He is much more agile than Cui Bicheng who is pulling abacus beads all day long.
"But I'm not worried about Ji Zhang, no matter how stupid he is, there will still be someone to take care of him."
Old Cui is a good person? !
Old Cui is sincere and reckless? ? !
Can old Cui still be loyal and courageous, chivalrous and gentle? !
Mr. Du, are you sure the person you're talking about is not me, Ji Chengyi, but Cui Bicheng?Then you must hate Old Cui deeply, you are ruining him.
Well, I make a fist and I nod.
I am firm in my mind.
Du Yuchan was talking ironically, embarrassing Cui Bicheng.
Du Yuchan said, "His Royal Highness is a good person. In the entire Yongjing City, except for Cui Bicheng, His Royal Highness is the only one who is kind. I want to entrust my sister to His Highness, please take care of her. Just give her food and drink, don't let her She is hungry, so don't let her see the Du family again. As long as the elders and the younger elders can't see her, His Royal Highness will finally remember the love between husband and wife for a lifetime and stop embarrassing her."
I looked at Du Yuchan's divine and Buddha-like face, and thought, "Yuchan, there is something in your words."
Du Yuchan just smiled and said nothing.
A gust of wind blew over, and a peach blossom fell, and one fell on Du Yuchan's hair. He stretched out his fingers and plucked the petals off.
Du Yuchan handed me the petals.
It was a bit late, but I finally picked it up.
I raised my head and took a sneak peek at the beauty in palace costume in the side hall of the East Palace.
She also turned around and looked at us secretly.
The concubine's face is extremely beautiful, like those dignified, quiet, stunning, graceful and luxurious queens who died with long and noble titles hanging in the Taimiao.
In the distance, the sound of silk and bamboo from the water mirror stage was extremely lively.
The fireworks all over the sky are brilliant and dazzling, symbolizing the emperor's favor. They are unattainable, but they are very prosperous for a while, and they are gorgeous and prosperous. However, after a while, they will eventually return to silence.
It's like a box of ink dripping into the East China Sea, and nothing can be seen.
Oh, having said that, if you can see a pot of ink in the East China Sea dyed black again, it will be called a ghost.
-
Cui Bicheng and Du Yuchan left before nightfall.
I went back to Shuijingtai Palace Banquet to see my mother, and I told her that in order not to disturb her and my father's spring evening, I will go back to Yuxi Palace to sleep tonight.
The banquet is still going on, the gifted scholars and beauties on the water mirror stage are full of affection, and the audience is full of people who are full of jade liquid and wine.
The night in early spring was a bit chilly. My father was sitting there with a white fox fur coat on his shoulders. Concubine Du Gui who was by his side had already left the table. My mother was still by his side, but she also replaced the deadly assorted preserved fruit Attire, put on a fairly plain crimson phoenix robe.
I went over to toast her with a glass of water and wine, and gave my father some shit, and then I went back with all my heart.
Since I moved out of Yuxi Palace, no one lives there.It should have been rewarded to the underage prince or princess, but the prince who is younger than me and does not have his own palace is Yuezheng. He has been living with his mother, so Yuxi Palace is empty.But I don't know whose order it was, there has been no space here, but people come to clean it every day, the bedding is all new, and there is a warming stove.
I drank a few glasses of wine just now, but I didn't drink refreshedly, and now I feel a little irritable, so I dug out the Ru kiln jug I had hidden here, and asked someone to bring a few jars of Taidiao wine from the wine and vinegar noodle bureau , and the cattle drank in the garden.
My mind is as messed up as a hemp ball.
I feel like I have never been this messed up since I was born.
——At that time, the crown prince used my private account to force you to submit, presumably you wanted it yourself.I just said that a slap in the face can't slap a thing like an affair...
... I know you like the prince, but you can like everyone in the world as you like, except him!
These two absurd sentences are even more absurd than Du Yuchan telling me that Cui Bicheng is actually a good person, and his heart is sincere.
I should go in with the left ear and out with the right, just like the nonsense that old Cui usually said.
They should pass through the intestines like dog meat without a trace.
But now, these two words of Cui Bicheng are like flies, buzzing, buzzing around my ears, and I can't drive them away.
I took another two sips of wine, shook the small wine jar in my hand, and felt that it was empty, so I threw it aside casually, and then went to tear off the mud seal of another jar of wine, but at this time, someone pulled my hand away.
I glanced at the man confusedly, "Huh? Wen Zhan, why is it you?"
He was silent, but he tore off the mud seal for me, pushed the jar of wine to my hand, and said, "I should ask you. I thought you, Cui Bicheng, and Du Yuchan were out of the palace, but it turned out that you were alone." People hide here and drink wine."
Me, "Why are you drinking wine? I didn't have a good time at the water mirror table just now, but the wine worms in my intestines were hooked out again. I was so greedy that I only drank two glasses here. I fell asleep directly after a while. "
As I said that, I felt that my alcohol was getting stronger, my whole body was warm, my head started to hurt from the back, and my body began to become light. The good news is that those two bastard words of Cui Bicheng finally disappeared without a trace .
So, I immediately cheered up.
I enthusiastically said to Wen Zhan, "Do me a favor. Hold these two jars of wine and let's drink inside. It's warm there. I just asked them to bring some side dishes to go with the wine. If you can eat it, let's go and drink together." Eat some."
Wen Zhan didn't hold the wine jar, but he pulled me away, "He also said that he didn't drink sorrowful wine, usually you can drink two jars of too much wine, but today you are drunk from one jar, isn't it just wine that makes you sad?"
I wanted to push him away, but he grabbed him even tighter. I said stiffly, "I'm not drunk."
"A drunk person never admits to being drunk."
Wen Zhan said, "Stop drinking, I'll sit outside with you for a while."
"Come, sit here."
He sat on the bench next to the railing, but said the wooden chair was too cold, and let me sit on his lap.
I don't like this posture, like being held by him like a woman.It's just that my limbs became weak from drinking today, so I didn't bother to move. I sat in his arms like a boat, with my cheek resting on Wen Zhan's shoulder, and I felt his arms could easily wrap around me. She grew taller again, much taller than me, and was no longer the jade doll like a small steamed bun. A sense of loss emerged spontaneously, and I couldn't help being a little angry.
I try my best to eat and drink every day, but why do those things seem to be eaten into the dog's stomach, and they don't stick to me at all?
I'm not tall, nor fat.
It's getting shabby.
It's like a suffocated bun that hasn't risen.
Wen Zhan's hand stroked my back lightly, the surrounding was very quiet, and I could clearly hear his heartbeat.
dong... dong... dong...
Slow but strong.
"I'm in such a bad mood, did Cui Bicheng say something to you? Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't give me the account books. Those things in Jiangnan were originally set up against the Du family, and Cui Bicheng was just dragged by them. No Here, it doesn't matter, I won't let him die..."
Suddenly, I seemed to hear Wen Zhan talking, and he said a lot in a vague way, but I couldn't hear clearly.
I just know Cui Bicheng, account books and so on.
I shook my head, "No, it's not the account books, it's something else..."
"My cousin said that I fell in love with the prince..."
I just felt the hand around my back suddenly tighten.
"He also said, that kind of thing can't be clapped with a slap..."
It was a long time before someone whispered in my ear, "He's right."
"No, no! We are blood brothers. If we do this, we will be cast aside by thousands of people while alive, and will be abandoned by the ancestors of Dazheng after death!")
I shook my head hastily, struggling to get up from that person's arms, but I was grabbed by him firmly. In the dimness, I saw a pair of palpitating eyes.
Wen Zhan's face was as cold as snow, as cold as a blade, but his eyes were frantic, like flames.
"Chengyi, no matter how you try to escape, you and I are indeed husband and wife!"
I have been eroded by Taidiao to a dilapidated state, but I tried my best to wake myself up. I grabbed Wen Zhan's shoulders with both hands and said word by word, "But, we have 'reconciled'. We have returned to the original , I am still your brother Yi, I..."
I was kissed by him and could no longer speak.
It was an extremely aggressive kiss, as if a beast was gnawing on his prey.
Wen Zhan seems to be gentle and polite, and sometimes even tender and affectionate. He is a corporal, but in his heart he has the coldness of going along with prosperity and perishing against those who rebel.
I think he's about to strangle me.
He just let go.
His arms held me like iron, making me look into his eyes.
I saw his smile.
"Chengyi, you haven't let me touch your body for three months, and you haven't even thought about it carefully, how tormented your man has been during these days? You are so cruel!"
I was intimidated by him.
"Wen Zhan, what do you want to do? No!..."
He suddenly picked me up horizontally, walked into the inner hall with a few steps, and threw me on the laid quilt!When I turned over and wanted to escape, he came up on one knee and pressed my legs, while he bound my hands with white silk, pulled them up, and tied them to the carved pillars supporting the curtain.
No matter how hard I struggled, the clothes were easily torn off and my legs were also torn apart. He took the ointment from the box next to it and applied it to my body, and at the same time applied it to his already distended murder weapon.
Maybe it was because I drank alcohol, and when he entered, the pain was not so strong, only a strong shock of being occupied and controlled.
I never felt like this.
He is doing all kinds of tricks to control my desire.
In the end, I could only bear him trembling, bearing the ravages of a storm, and I was no longer able to escape from under him.
After I finally poured out everything trembling, I fell asleep.
……
When I woke up again, it was already dusk the next day.
Last night's Tai Diao, last night's troubles, and the memories of love are all fragmented, the bedding around me is new, and the body is clean, almost making me think that I had a bad dream all night.
However, the exhaustion in my heart made me realize that it was not a dream that could be forgotten when I woke up.
I threw off the quilt, pulled off a long gown and put it on, and was about to get out of bed.But I found that my legs were extremely sore and limp, and as soon as I touched the ground, I trembled with pain.
"Chengyi, don't be brave."
Wen Zhan came in suddenly. He hurried to my bed, knelt down on one knee, and carefully supported my legs. Only then did I see clearly that my knees were covered with bruises and purple marks, which belonged to him.
He held my waist with one hand, his palm was very hot, which made my trembling slowly calm down.He looked up at me, "You can't go to the ground today, tell me what you want, don't be brave."
I don't know what to say, and I don't know how to face him again.
I shook my head lightly.
Wen Zhan raised his eyes and said to me with flickering eyes, "I know what you expect from me, but I'm sorry, some things, if you do it, you do it, and you can never look back."
"Chengyi, you are mine, you want me to let go, unless I die."
After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and pressed a hot kiss on my knee.
I had the illusion of being branded by him.
……
In the early morning of the third day of performing in the Dazheng Palace, Du Yuchan took his burden on his back, boarded a boat at Yongjing Wharf, and went south along the canal to return to his hometown of Kunshan.
Cui Bicheng didn't send him off.
Old Cui was arrested.
However, the visitor said 'please'.
Oh, if the six servants, holding the official documents of the sea arrest, carrying a heavy shackle of fifty catties, and looking fierce, taking old Cui away is considered "invitation", then old Cui was invited by Yin Yuzheng of Shuntian Mansion 'I went to Shuntian Mansion to drink Longjing tea.
Old Cui shed tears in Lingering Garden, and before leaving, he cried, "Since ancient times, ordinary people have never been treated with courtesy, and doctors have not been punished. I understand that no matter how much money I have, it is useless! Even if I have a seventh-rank official uniform, this Even my grandson wouldn’t dare to treat me like that.”
Before he finished crying, the guards of Shuntian Mansion dragged him away.
This is what the Cui family boy told me when he came to my palace and cried to me.
At that time, I had just returned from Yuxi Palace, just got into the bed, and before I had time to go back to the cage, I was dragged out by them again.
I rubbed my eyes, and asked them very depressed, "Old Cui has caused trouble again? Why do you always want to go to the Tianfu and drink tea with Yu Zhengyu?"
"My lord." The boy came over and said eagerly, "Jiangsu's 'Miemen bloody case' case files have been investigated and consolidated by the Ministry of Military Affairs of Jiangsu's yamen, and rushed to Beijing eight hundred miles away.
I heard that the case file is very vicious, and every word and every word is biting my son.
When Shuntian Mansion was arresting people, the arresters from the six branches of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs also came. What did the Master of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs say, this time there will be a thorough investigation, and no royal relatives will be tolerated if they are involved! "
Shuntian Mansion Yu was Du Yuanze's man, and the official of the Ministry of Punishment was from the Crown Prince's man. Both parties jointly strangled Cui Bicheng. This was not a pleasant time.But I still feel a little gloated.
He, Cui Bicheng, the big boss Cui, is not flattering, and his temper is even more rebellious.
Didn't he say that with a sharp weapon in his hand, not only can he protect himself, but he can continue to thrive?
I really want to see, this monkey, how did he escape this time?
I washed up in a hurry, and then took the cucumber, swaggeringly went to Shuntian Mansion to watch the excitement.
Shuntian Mansion is the parent official of Yongjing City. Unfortunately, the yamen is too small. I haven't worn the big dress when I sometimes go to court, worship the ancestral temple, and pray for New Year. I just wear a small dragon robe and I can walk smoothly. Go to the inner hall of Shuntian Mansion.
It just so happened that Yu Zheng was inviting Cui Bicheng to drink tea again.
Cui Bicheng was fine, even though he was shackled by so many laborers, when he got here, he didn't get tortured or knelt on the nails, but just drank tea in the back hall very refreshingly.
When I came in, I was standing behind the screen, Cucumber grabbed the head of Shuntian Mansion and told him in a low voice, "Shut up, don't disturb the prince."
Yu Zheng's steady voice over there said, "Young Master Cui, buying murder is a serious crime. But Young Master Cui is not the principal culprit after all. As long as you explain the matter clearly, the Ministry of Punishment will punish you."
"My lord Yu, you are also in a difficult situation." Cui Bicheng's voice was flat as always, "You are a member of the Du family, on the one hand you are ordered by the elder Xiaoge, and on the other hand you are constrained by the Ministry of Punishment. You are caught in the middle, in a dilemma. "
Yu Zheng, "I am an official of the imperial court, and I don't cling to anyone. I have been an official for more than ten years, and I am upright and honest. The government and the public have their own opinions on this point."
Cui Bicheng sneered, "You can fool others but not me. Du Yi's prime minister for more than 20 years has power in the government and the public. If you want to be an official, you don't follow his path. Now you can only stay at home pitifully. There is a real shortage of departments, how can you sit here in a majestic manner?"
Snapped!
Yu Zheng patted the table, "Cui Bicheng, you are too presumptuous! I said today that I am inviting you, and you can drink tea here in peace. If you want to follow the laws of Dazheng, you have to kneel down in the hall and stand firm." Confess the crime clearly."
Cui Bicheng said, "Crime? It seems that Mr. Yu has already confirmed the crime for Cui?
Then Cui would like to ask your lord something.
Jiangsu's "Miemen Massacre" happened only six days ago. Jiangsu Province solved the case on one day, and five days later, the Jiangsu Jiesi Yamen dispatched the military department to investigate and gather [-] miles to rush to the capital. Two Xiongnu horses were disabled.
Well, I dare to ask my lord, three days ago, my lord also invited Cui Bicheng here to ask about this case.At that time, Cui did not answer a word, did not say a word, just thinking secretly, the Ministry of punishment has not yet received any news, how did you know about the case in Jiangsu Province, my lord, you are far away in Yongjing?And if you know such details?Could it be that I had grown wings and flew to your ears in this case, eight hundred miles ahead of the Ministry of War?
Or is it……
My lord, you have the ability to predict the future.Know when this case happened, and know who was involved.Otherwise, Cui really can't figure it out..."
Cui Bicheng leaned forward, "If you have the ability to see far away and hear the wind, you can also teach Cui? Let me earn more money, and I can live by myself."
Cui Bicheng's words made Shuntian Mansion speechless.
Yes, it stands to reason that it is impossible for Shuntian Mansion to know about Jiangsu's affairs earlier than the Ministry of Criminal Justice. If he knew, then one possibility is that someone planted the blame, and he, Shuntian Mansion, was also involved in it. Only in this way, he Ability to 'prophet'.
but……
Why did Cui Bicheng know the inside story on the evening of the second day after the Jiangsu incident?
Cui Bicheng leaned back on the back of the chair, and said cynically, "Master Yu, last time you brought me here, I didn't say a word. Later, I prayed that the palace had something urgent, so I left. Today you put me in custody again. Come here, but I have a happy event to tell you. My aunt, Cui, the mother of the eldest son of the emperor Qi Wang, has become Concubine Xiang. You also know that Concubine Xiang is just like my father, and he is just like me. A son, the Cui family has a noble status, but the population is not prosperous, and the family is a single family, if you hurt me or make me disabled, Concubine Xiang will not be happy."
I heard this from behind the screen, smiled to myself, and said to Cucumber, "Let's go back."
"My lord, did you not see Young Master Biao? Didn't you see Master Yu, let him let Young Master Biao go?"
"See him?" I laughed, "Master Yu, I'm afraid I wish to send this god Cui Bicheng away. You don't need to see him anymore, let's go back."
When I returned to the palace, Miss Feng cooked noodles for me. When I was full, I fell down to catch up on sleep.
I don't know how long I slept until tonight, when I suddenly felt someone beside me, very familiar, I suddenly opened my eyes, and that person's finger was on my cheek.
I took a closer look, and it was Xiaolian.
but……
His smile was exactly the same as Wen Zhan's.
Volume No.15 What can't be used by me can't be used by others
I've heard all of what Old Cui said.But I thought, Wen Zhan has Wen Zhan's considerations, and besides, there is that old saying that if you are not in the position, you don't plan for the government, so I didn't think much about it.
Now that Lao Cui mentions it, it seems that Wen Zhan has done a stupid thing that cannot be tolerated.
I just asked casually, "What's going on?"
Cui Bicheng snorted coldly, "What he did was caught by others. It's because he is stupid. Who can blame him? Also, didn't he want the Du family's black account? Then I'll make it clear, that thing It’s in my hands, and I put it in a tight place, a place that no one can think of! It’s not in Yongjing, nor in Yongjia, it’s a place they can’t even imagine!”
"I give that account book to anyone, but I just don't give it to him!"
"Not only did I not give it to him, but I hung him up. It's like holding a big fresh and delicious bun to a hungry dog. I'll starve him to death! Let's see what he can do to me!"
Hearing such stupid words, and seeing Lao Cui's flat face, I raised my hands and rubbed them on my temples, so that my slight headache could be relieved.
"Old Cui, I won't say much else. I'll just ask you. It's okay if you're fighting against Wen Zhan now, but what do you want to do after he ascends the throne?"
"Enthronement?"
Cui Bicheng glanced sideways at the splendid palace of the Eastern Palace and the towering dripping eaves, and said with a sneer, "Hmph, it's not certain whether the chair in the Dazheng Palace will be his in the end! Don't say anything else, he I don't have a son yet, so I'm going for this. If your old man wants to pass on the throne, he really needs to weigh it carefully.
I heard that when your old man came to the throne when he was young, he didn't have any children for ten years after he became emperor. Because of this, the government and the opposition almost pulled him down from the throne.
Then you were born, and that was the end of it.Oh no, it's not over yet.If you want to say that those old courtiers are really stubborn, if you said that you are not the son of the current emperor, you must have been killed, and your aunt and Cui's family would have been executed. If the emperor hadn't killed the six ministers who wrote the letter, that matter Dazheng Dynasty can be tossed and broken.
The emperor had lingering fears after learning from the past.Now that the prince is messing around like this again, the concubine is driving him crazy. This son will definitely not be born for a while, and even if he is born, he will be an idiot. Who dares to hand over the millennium foundation of Dazheng to him? "
I felt like I was beating a drum when I heard it, and my face was red and white for a while.
Old Cui also said, "By the way, Chengzi, when I mentioned this, I remembered it. You should stop messing with him in the future. Even if outsiders don't know about the matter between you, the old man, the emperor, is like a mirror in his heart. Don't Wait until the end, the crown prince will bring shame on himself, and even ruin you. Now that your old man is still there, I won’t say much, if you wait for the emperor to really ride a crane, you wait to listen to me, and He cut it clean. I did it for your own good."
My eyes look away.
After a while, he muttered, "Don't worry about my business."
Old Cui didn't speak.
He kept staring at me like that, and I felt like his eyes were on fire, sure to burn a hole in me.
After a long time, he said, "Well, from now on, don't worry about my affairs!"
I muttered again, "I never mind your business."
"Really?" Cui Bicheng's voice returned to the frivolous and indifferent voice of the past. He said with a smile, "It seems that I was wrong. At that time, the crown prince used my private account to force you to submit. I think it was your own will. I Let’s just say, things like personal affairs can’t be slapped with a single slap..."
There was a blur in front of my eyes, I didn't stop for a while, I staggered, and fell in front of the peach blossom tree.
My ears are buzzing and I can't hear anything.
I never thought about telling Cui Bicheng about that matter, nor did I think about letting him accept my love.
I just can't let the feud between him and the crown prince build up.They don't understand Wen Zhan, they bully Wen Zhan when he is young, they think that if they have wealth and power, they can seek the crown prince. I can't say they are daydreaming, because the court situation is chaotic and complicated, indeed anything is possible occur.
In case Wen Zhan dies, gets injured, or becomes disabled, the crown prince will definitely not be Wen Zhan anymore.But other than that, as long as Wen Zhan still wants that seat, the final owner of Dazheng Palace will not be anyone else!
Now that my father is here, he dotes on my mother and me, and the Cui family has support.
But what about the future?
What about the future?
Why can't they think more about the future?
After all, the crown prince is my father's biological son and his preferred heir after all.If the concubine and Jiaoer are favored again, can the favor surpass the future emperor of Dazheng?
Cui Bicheng squatted down slowly in front of me, he raised his finger, brushing away the broken hair blocking my face.
Only then did he speak, "I didn't mean to hurt you. My words are ugly, and it's for your own good. I know you like the prince, but you can like everyone in the world as you like, but you can't like him! You are too narrow-minded. In fact, if you like someone, you will treat him as well as possible, but the prince is a wolf cub, he will chew you until there is no bone left."
I said with difficulty, "I don't like him."
Cui Bicheng said, "That means I was wrong, and I hope I was wrong. This is the best."
At this moment, a sobbing voice came from over there, "Hey, Cheng Yi is here too, why are you sitting on the ground talking?"
When Cui Bicheng and I turned our heads, it was Du Yuchan.
The corners of his eyes were red, and his voice seemed to be choked with tears.
Looking at his appearance, I can hardly think of one of the limited poems I can memorize: ——Holding hands and looking at teary eyes, I was speechless and choked up.
Cui Bicheng stood up and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
I was pulled up by Cui Bicheng, and I asked, "Is the concubine okay?"
After asking, I felt like an idiot.
A good big girl, who is only breathed after being played by this world, I will say a hypocritical greeting, 'Is she okay', this is simply more of a jerk than a jerk.
Who would have thought that Du Yuchan would say, "She is very nice. She is served very carefully when eating and drinking, and living here is very peaceful. I don't have to worry about inexplicable things every day. If possible, I want to be like her too." .”
I thought Young Master Du was talking ironically, but I looked at his face carefully, his face was calm and his eyes were soft.His eyes were on the side hall, beside the precious sandalwood carved wooden table, with his back to us, sat a beautiful woman in palace costume.Her slender neck is soft but proudly upright, like a swan wandering back and forth in Taiye Pond, leisurely, but doing nothing.
That is the concubine Du Minghe.
No matter how beautiful she is and how prominent her status is, her back at this time always looks lonely. )
Du Yuchan said, "Seeing her like this, I can leave with peace of mind."
I grabbed him and said, "Don't, don't think about it! Although this world is filthy and insensitive, there are still good people like me alive in the world. You have to be grateful, see hope and light, like a Like a real warrior, face the tragic life, live bravely and happily!"
boom!
Cui Bicheng knocked on my forehead violently.
He raised his eyebrows and said, "Master Du is not going to die, he is just going back to his hometown in Kunshan."
Me, "Huh? Why, is life in Yongjing not good?"
Du Yuchan said flatly, "Yongjing is good. The brocade land and the sky have been blowing across the rivers and rainy mountains for 1000 years. The prosperity is a blinding sight. I can't see through it, but I see it lightly."
I,"……"
Du Xiaogong made such a pile for me in a cloud of fog, what does he mean by this?I stared at him dumbfounded, but he was as peaceful as a jade statue enshrined in a deep palace in Qishan.
In the end, it was Cui Bicheng who said, "He is going back to his hometown in Kunshan to learn to sing Kunqu opera. Didn't I buy a troupe from Jiangnan? He followed me to see the Peony Pavilion and fell in love with singing Kunqu opera. He said that since then Zen can be seen in the play."
I always feel that Mr. Du is not a mortal.
In the beautiful Peony Pavilion, I can only see that the people raised by Humi white fish have good skin and good figure; old Cui is a naughty ruffian, who just wants to wait for others to finish singing the opera, so that he can help the famous actor to the gums , to play with wantonly; while Du Xiaogongzi, from the extreme beauty of the world, sees the meaning of Zen, this... Is it true that form is emptiness?It seems that he has enlightened.
At this point, my mood was extremely complicated.
I don't know whether I should feel sad that he is about to leave Yongjing and his relatives, or feel happy that he will eventually jump out of the Three Realms because of his enlightenment.
I looked at Du Yuchan with distorted eyes, but he smiled, "Chengyi, don't believe him. Ji Zhang likes to joke. Nine and a half out of ten sentences he said are true, but the most important sentence is true." is fake.
It's true that I went back to Kunshan, but not to learn to sing Kunqu opera, um, but that's what people outside said.I went back, in fact, to escape marriage.
The elder and the younger elder want to give me to Qi Luyu, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, to be his son-in-law. I am not interested in the power of soldiers and horses in the hands of Qi Butang, and his daughter who looks like a mace, so I just pack up. Pi went back to his hometown and fled for his life. "
I couldn't laugh or cry when I heard it.
Du Xiaogong's good canna plant was mixed with Cui Bicheng into a foxtail plant.
However, I also understand that it's just a cover that he doesn't want Qi Butang's mace girl, he doesn't want to get involved in the Du family, the real story is the scuffle between King Jia and the crown prince.
"I'm a useless person. I offended Chu Qiangsheng. If I can't pass the Jinshi exam, I can't be an official. Mr. Ge, Mr. Ge once said that in my life, I can't enter the Du family's family, and I can't enter the Du family's grave when I die. In the past few years, I have The Du family can still have something to eat, but it depends on having Ji Zhang as a good friend, Xiaoge is always selfish, so naturally he has to give in a step."
Du Yuchan harbored resentment, and even his own grandfather and father only called Ge Lao and Xiao Ge Lao.
clang! ——
It was the sound of a small stone falling to the ground.
"What are you talking about to him?" Cui Bicheng suddenly interrupted Du Yuchan unhappily, "This matter has nothing to do with him."
"Listen to what I have to say. Cheng Yi, Ji Zhang is a nice person, but he is a bit stupid. He is honest and reckless. To put it bluntly, this is called loyalty, courage, chivalry, and kindness. cannon fodder."
Cui Bicheng wanted to cover Du Yuchan's mouth, but Du Yuchan avoided it.
Don't look at Du Xiaogong's usual weak appearance, in fact, he is proficient in the six arts, can ride horses, and can shoot arrows. He is much more agile than Cui Bicheng who is pulling abacus beads all day long.
"But I'm not worried about Ji Zhang, no matter how stupid he is, there will still be someone to take care of him."
Old Cui is a good person? !
Old Cui is sincere and reckless? ? !
Can old Cui still be loyal and courageous, chivalrous and gentle? !
Mr. Du, are you sure the person you're talking about is not me, Ji Chengyi, but Cui Bicheng?Then you must hate Old Cui deeply, you are ruining him.
Well, I make a fist and I nod.
I am firm in my mind.
Du Yuchan was talking ironically, embarrassing Cui Bicheng.
Du Yuchan said, "His Royal Highness is a good person. In the entire Yongjing City, except for Cui Bicheng, His Royal Highness is the only one who is kind. I want to entrust my sister to His Highness, please take care of her. Just give her food and drink, don't let her She is hungry, so don't let her see the Du family again. As long as the elders and the younger elders can't see her, His Royal Highness will finally remember the love between husband and wife for a lifetime and stop embarrassing her."
I looked at Du Yuchan's divine and Buddha-like face, and thought, "Yuchan, there is something in your words."
Du Yuchan just smiled and said nothing.
A gust of wind blew over, and a peach blossom fell, and one fell on Du Yuchan's hair. He stretched out his fingers and plucked the petals off.
Du Yuchan handed me the petals.
It was a bit late, but I finally picked it up.
I raised my head and took a sneak peek at the beauty in palace costume in the side hall of the East Palace.
She also turned around and looked at us secretly.
The concubine's face is extremely beautiful, like those dignified, quiet, stunning, graceful and luxurious queens who died with long and noble titles hanging in the Taimiao.
In the distance, the sound of silk and bamboo from the water mirror stage was extremely lively.
The fireworks all over the sky are brilliant and dazzling, symbolizing the emperor's favor. They are unattainable, but they are very prosperous for a while, and they are gorgeous and prosperous. However, after a while, they will eventually return to silence.
It's like a box of ink dripping into the East China Sea, and nothing can be seen.
Oh, having said that, if you can see a pot of ink in the East China Sea dyed black again, it will be called a ghost.
-
Cui Bicheng and Du Yuchan left before nightfall.
I went back to Shuijingtai Palace Banquet to see my mother, and I told her that in order not to disturb her and my father's spring evening, I will go back to Yuxi Palace to sleep tonight.
The banquet is still going on, the gifted scholars and beauties on the water mirror stage are full of affection, and the audience is full of people who are full of jade liquid and wine.
The night in early spring was a bit chilly. My father was sitting there with a white fox fur coat on his shoulders. Concubine Du Gui who was by his side had already left the table. My mother was still by his side, but she also replaced the deadly assorted preserved fruit Attire, put on a fairly plain crimson phoenix robe.
I went over to toast her with a glass of water and wine, and gave my father some shit, and then I went back with all my heart.
Since I moved out of Yuxi Palace, no one lives there.It should have been rewarded to the underage prince or princess, but the prince who is younger than me and does not have his own palace is Yuezheng. He has been living with his mother, so Yuxi Palace is empty.But I don't know whose order it was, there has been no space here, but people come to clean it every day, the bedding is all new, and there is a warming stove.
I drank a few glasses of wine just now, but I didn't drink refreshedly, and now I feel a little irritable, so I dug out the Ru kiln jug I had hidden here, and asked someone to bring a few jars of Taidiao wine from the wine and vinegar noodle bureau , and the cattle drank in the garden.
My mind is as messed up as a hemp ball.
I feel like I have never been this messed up since I was born.
——At that time, the crown prince used my private account to force you to submit, presumably you wanted it yourself.I just said that a slap in the face can't slap a thing like an affair...
... I know you like the prince, but you can like everyone in the world as you like, except him!
These two absurd sentences are even more absurd than Du Yuchan telling me that Cui Bicheng is actually a good person, and his heart is sincere.
I should go in with the left ear and out with the right, just like the nonsense that old Cui usually said.
They should pass through the intestines like dog meat without a trace.
But now, these two words of Cui Bicheng are like flies, buzzing, buzzing around my ears, and I can't drive them away.
I took another two sips of wine, shook the small wine jar in my hand, and felt that it was empty, so I threw it aside casually, and then went to tear off the mud seal of another jar of wine, but at this time, someone pulled my hand away.
I glanced at the man confusedly, "Huh? Wen Zhan, why is it you?"
He was silent, but he tore off the mud seal for me, pushed the jar of wine to my hand, and said, "I should ask you. I thought you, Cui Bicheng, and Du Yuchan were out of the palace, but it turned out that you were alone." People hide here and drink wine."
Me, "Why are you drinking wine? I didn't have a good time at the water mirror table just now, but the wine worms in my intestines were hooked out again. I was so greedy that I only drank two glasses here. I fell asleep directly after a while. "
As I said that, I felt that my alcohol was getting stronger, my whole body was warm, my head started to hurt from the back, and my body began to become light. The good news is that those two bastard words of Cui Bicheng finally disappeared without a trace .
So, I immediately cheered up.
I enthusiastically said to Wen Zhan, "Do me a favor. Hold these two jars of wine and let's drink inside. It's warm there. I just asked them to bring some side dishes to go with the wine. If you can eat it, let's go and drink together." Eat some."
Wen Zhan didn't hold the wine jar, but he pulled me away, "He also said that he didn't drink sorrowful wine, usually you can drink two jars of too much wine, but today you are drunk from one jar, isn't it just wine that makes you sad?"
I wanted to push him away, but he grabbed him even tighter. I said stiffly, "I'm not drunk."
"A drunk person never admits to being drunk."
Wen Zhan said, "Stop drinking, I'll sit outside with you for a while."
"Come, sit here."
He sat on the bench next to the railing, but said the wooden chair was too cold, and let me sit on his lap.
I don't like this posture, like being held by him like a woman.It's just that my limbs became weak from drinking today, so I didn't bother to move. I sat in his arms like a boat, with my cheek resting on Wen Zhan's shoulder, and I felt his arms could easily wrap around me. She grew taller again, much taller than me, and was no longer the jade doll like a small steamed bun. A sense of loss emerged spontaneously, and I couldn't help being a little angry.
I try my best to eat and drink every day, but why do those things seem to be eaten into the dog's stomach, and they don't stick to me at all?
I'm not tall, nor fat.
It's getting shabby.
It's like a suffocated bun that hasn't risen.
Wen Zhan's hand stroked my back lightly, the surrounding was very quiet, and I could clearly hear his heartbeat.
dong... dong... dong...
Slow but strong.
"I'm in such a bad mood, did Cui Bicheng say something to you? Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't give me the account books. Those things in Jiangnan were originally set up against the Du family, and Cui Bicheng was just dragged by them. No Here, it doesn't matter, I won't let him die..."
Suddenly, I seemed to hear Wen Zhan talking, and he said a lot in a vague way, but I couldn't hear clearly.
I just know Cui Bicheng, account books and so on.
I shook my head, "No, it's not the account books, it's something else..."
"My cousin said that I fell in love with the prince..."
I just felt the hand around my back suddenly tighten.
"He also said, that kind of thing can't be clapped with a slap..."
It was a long time before someone whispered in my ear, "He's right."
"No, no! We are blood brothers. If we do this, we will be cast aside by thousands of people while alive, and will be abandoned by the ancestors of Dazheng after death!")
I shook my head hastily, struggling to get up from that person's arms, but I was grabbed by him firmly. In the dimness, I saw a pair of palpitating eyes.
Wen Zhan's face was as cold as snow, as cold as a blade, but his eyes were frantic, like flames.
"Chengyi, no matter how you try to escape, you and I are indeed husband and wife!"
I have been eroded by Taidiao to a dilapidated state, but I tried my best to wake myself up. I grabbed Wen Zhan's shoulders with both hands and said word by word, "But, we have 'reconciled'. We have returned to the original , I am still your brother Yi, I..."
I was kissed by him and could no longer speak.
It was an extremely aggressive kiss, as if a beast was gnawing on his prey.
Wen Zhan seems to be gentle and polite, and sometimes even tender and affectionate. He is a corporal, but in his heart he has the coldness of going along with prosperity and perishing against those who rebel.
I think he's about to strangle me.
He just let go.
His arms held me like iron, making me look into his eyes.
I saw his smile.
"Chengyi, you haven't let me touch your body for three months, and you haven't even thought about it carefully, how tormented your man has been during these days? You are so cruel!"
I was intimidated by him.
"Wen Zhan, what do you want to do? No!..."
He suddenly picked me up horizontally, walked into the inner hall with a few steps, and threw me on the laid quilt!When I turned over and wanted to escape, he came up on one knee and pressed my legs, while he bound my hands with white silk, pulled them up, and tied them to the carved pillars supporting the curtain.
No matter how hard I struggled, the clothes were easily torn off and my legs were also torn apart. He took the ointment from the box next to it and applied it to my body, and at the same time applied it to his already distended murder weapon.
Maybe it was because I drank alcohol, and when he entered, the pain was not so strong, only a strong shock of being occupied and controlled.
I never felt like this.
He is doing all kinds of tricks to control my desire.
In the end, I could only bear him trembling, bearing the ravages of a storm, and I was no longer able to escape from under him.
After I finally poured out everything trembling, I fell asleep.
……
When I woke up again, it was already dusk the next day.
Last night's Tai Diao, last night's troubles, and the memories of love are all fragmented, the bedding around me is new, and the body is clean, almost making me think that I had a bad dream all night.
However, the exhaustion in my heart made me realize that it was not a dream that could be forgotten when I woke up.
I threw off the quilt, pulled off a long gown and put it on, and was about to get out of bed.But I found that my legs were extremely sore and limp, and as soon as I touched the ground, I trembled with pain.
"Chengyi, don't be brave."
Wen Zhan came in suddenly. He hurried to my bed, knelt down on one knee, and carefully supported my legs. Only then did I see clearly that my knees were covered with bruises and purple marks, which belonged to him.
He held my waist with one hand, his palm was very hot, which made my trembling slowly calm down.He looked up at me, "You can't go to the ground today, tell me what you want, don't be brave."
I don't know what to say, and I don't know how to face him again.
I shook my head lightly.
Wen Zhan raised his eyes and said to me with flickering eyes, "I know what you expect from me, but I'm sorry, some things, if you do it, you do it, and you can never look back."
"Chengyi, you are mine, you want me to let go, unless I die."
After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and pressed a hot kiss on my knee.
I had the illusion of being branded by him.
……
In the early morning of the third day of performing in the Dazheng Palace, Du Yuchan took his burden on his back, boarded a boat at Yongjing Wharf, and went south along the canal to return to his hometown of Kunshan.
Cui Bicheng didn't send him off.
Old Cui was arrested.
However, the visitor said 'please'.
Oh, if the six servants, holding the official documents of the sea arrest, carrying a heavy shackle of fifty catties, and looking fierce, taking old Cui away is considered "invitation", then old Cui was invited by Yin Yuzheng of Shuntian Mansion 'I went to Shuntian Mansion to drink Longjing tea.
Old Cui shed tears in Lingering Garden, and before leaving, he cried, "Since ancient times, ordinary people have never been treated with courtesy, and doctors have not been punished. I understand that no matter how much money I have, it is useless! Even if I have a seventh-rank official uniform, this Even my grandson wouldn’t dare to treat me like that.”
Before he finished crying, the guards of Shuntian Mansion dragged him away.
This is what the Cui family boy told me when he came to my palace and cried to me.
At that time, I had just returned from Yuxi Palace, just got into the bed, and before I had time to go back to the cage, I was dragged out by them again.
I rubbed my eyes, and asked them very depressed, "Old Cui has caused trouble again? Why do you always want to go to the Tianfu and drink tea with Yu Zhengyu?"
"My lord." The boy came over and said eagerly, "Jiangsu's 'Miemen bloody case' case files have been investigated and consolidated by the Ministry of Military Affairs of Jiangsu's yamen, and rushed to Beijing eight hundred miles away.
I heard that the case file is very vicious, and every word and every word is biting my son.
When Shuntian Mansion was arresting people, the arresters from the six branches of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs also came. What did the Master of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs say, this time there will be a thorough investigation, and no royal relatives will be tolerated if they are involved! "
Shuntian Mansion Yu was Du Yuanze's man, and the official of the Ministry of Punishment was from the Crown Prince's man. Both parties jointly strangled Cui Bicheng. This was not a pleasant time.But I still feel a little gloated.
He, Cui Bicheng, the big boss Cui, is not flattering, and his temper is even more rebellious.
Didn't he say that with a sharp weapon in his hand, not only can he protect himself, but he can continue to thrive?
I really want to see, this monkey, how did he escape this time?
I washed up in a hurry, and then took the cucumber, swaggeringly went to Shuntian Mansion to watch the excitement.
Shuntian Mansion is the parent official of Yongjing City. Unfortunately, the yamen is too small. I haven't worn the big dress when I sometimes go to court, worship the ancestral temple, and pray for New Year. I just wear a small dragon robe and I can walk smoothly. Go to the inner hall of Shuntian Mansion.
It just so happened that Yu Zheng was inviting Cui Bicheng to drink tea again.
Cui Bicheng was fine, even though he was shackled by so many laborers, when he got here, he didn't get tortured or knelt on the nails, but just drank tea in the back hall very refreshingly.
When I came in, I was standing behind the screen, Cucumber grabbed the head of Shuntian Mansion and told him in a low voice, "Shut up, don't disturb the prince."
Yu Zheng's steady voice over there said, "Young Master Cui, buying murder is a serious crime. But Young Master Cui is not the principal culprit after all. As long as you explain the matter clearly, the Ministry of Punishment will punish you."
"My lord Yu, you are also in a difficult situation." Cui Bicheng's voice was flat as always, "You are a member of the Du family, on the one hand you are ordered by the elder Xiaoge, and on the other hand you are constrained by the Ministry of Punishment. You are caught in the middle, in a dilemma. "
Yu Zheng, "I am an official of the imperial court, and I don't cling to anyone. I have been an official for more than ten years, and I am upright and honest. The government and the public have their own opinions on this point."
Cui Bicheng sneered, "You can fool others but not me. Du Yi's prime minister for more than 20 years has power in the government and the public. If you want to be an official, you don't follow his path. Now you can only stay at home pitifully. There is a real shortage of departments, how can you sit here in a majestic manner?"
Snapped!
Yu Zheng patted the table, "Cui Bicheng, you are too presumptuous! I said today that I am inviting you, and you can drink tea here in peace. If you want to follow the laws of Dazheng, you have to kneel down in the hall and stand firm." Confess the crime clearly."
Cui Bicheng said, "Crime? It seems that Mr. Yu has already confirmed the crime for Cui?
Then Cui would like to ask your lord something.
Jiangsu's "Miemen Massacre" happened only six days ago. Jiangsu Province solved the case on one day, and five days later, the Jiangsu Jiesi Yamen dispatched the military department to investigate and gather [-] miles to rush to the capital. Two Xiongnu horses were disabled.
Well, I dare to ask my lord, three days ago, my lord also invited Cui Bicheng here to ask about this case.At that time, Cui did not answer a word, did not say a word, just thinking secretly, the Ministry of punishment has not yet received any news, how did you know about the case in Jiangsu Province, my lord, you are far away in Yongjing?And if you know such details?Could it be that I had grown wings and flew to your ears in this case, eight hundred miles ahead of the Ministry of War?
Or is it……
My lord, you have the ability to predict the future.Know when this case happened, and know who was involved.Otherwise, Cui really can't figure it out..."
Cui Bicheng leaned forward, "If you have the ability to see far away and hear the wind, you can also teach Cui? Let me earn more money, and I can live by myself."
Cui Bicheng's words made Shuntian Mansion speechless.
Yes, it stands to reason that it is impossible for Shuntian Mansion to know about Jiangsu's affairs earlier than the Ministry of Criminal Justice. If he knew, then one possibility is that someone planted the blame, and he, Shuntian Mansion, was also involved in it. Only in this way, he Ability to 'prophet'.
but……
Why did Cui Bicheng know the inside story on the evening of the second day after the Jiangsu incident?
Cui Bicheng leaned back on the back of the chair, and said cynically, "Master Yu, last time you brought me here, I didn't say a word. Later, I prayed that the palace had something urgent, so I left. Today you put me in custody again. Come here, but I have a happy event to tell you. My aunt, Cui, the mother of the eldest son of the emperor Qi Wang, has become Concubine Xiang. You also know that Concubine Xiang is just like my father, and he is just like me. A son, the Cui family has a noble status, but the population is not prosperous, and the family is a single family, if you hurt me or make me disabled, Concubine Xiang will not be happy."
