All your life is gentle
Chapter 086
The tenth of July.
Since early in the morning, every two hours, King Jingbei's personal soldiers have circled the city for half a circle, galloping from the south of Xijing to the north to send a message to report safety, and talk about the progress of the battle by the way.
After breakfast, Ni Jian received the news from the first batch of messengers from the prince, and personally conveyed it to the commander's tent.When he entered, the man was talking to his sister and the servant girl.It's inconvenient to interrupt, but I'm not in a hurry anyway, so I just nodded and stood at the door and waited.After listening to a few sentences, it turned out that he was talking about scriptures, and the content was very familiar. It was one of the few famous sayings about war in the sage's speech: "Whoever has literary affairs must have military equipment, and whoever has military affairs must have military affairs." Documentation".
In the second half of the sentence, the example of the Rouran tribe in the past when they entered the middle land and then retreated to the north was cited.Because several listeners were not very familiar with this period of history, the speaker told the story while arguing.Ni Jian listened for a while, and couldn't help being fascinated.
"General Ni?" No response.Zi Shi raised his voice: "General Ni?"
"Ah! Yes!" Ni Jian chuckled and explained: "This story is very interesting... By the way, His Highness sent a message saying that he has arrived at Nanshan Pass and everything is going well. Please don't worry Zishi."
"Thank you, General."
Ni Jian looked at the person opposite, with a kind tone and an amiable demeanor, and suddenly had the urge to talk a little more.Somehow, I came back to the sentence "Those who have literary affairs must have military equipment, and those who have military affairs must have military equipment", and blurted out: "Listen to Zi Shi's talk about both civil and military affairs. In fact, His Highness often talks like this. But we are all rough. People can’t talk about the profoundness of governing a country, that is, in addition to being able to fight wars, they also need to read, read, and understand the truth.”
Zi Shi nodded: "The general's words are simple, but they are the most reasonable."
Being affirmed, Ni Jian was a little smug.In addition, the other party's attitude was too good, so he couldn't help but make a mistake: ""Whoever has military affairs must have documents", I think His Highness is more than ten thousand times stronger than that Rouran King. Not to mention His Highness, there are ten generals in the Jingbei King's army. Eight can be called both civil and military." Glancing at the other people, he added, "There is also Her Royal Highness, including these brothers and girls, who is not capable of both martial arts and literature? In my opinion, it is the "those who have literary affairs must "Armed" is much harder."
Zi Shi tilted his head, interested: "Oh? I would like to hear the details."
"Hey..." Ni Jian scratched his head, saw that the other party looked at him with curiosity and anticipation, and said without holding back: "Emperor Jin Xia, do you have enough literature? The military equipment is in a mess. Not to mention the emperor, ordinary literati It's the same. Military generals can be good at writing, but none of the civil servants are good at martial arts. Our military master Zhuang is pretty good, and we can ride a horse and barely draw a bamboo bow. Another example...Zi Shiyou... "Speaking of this, I finally felt that it was inappropriate, so I swallowed my words.
"Haha..." Zi Shi Dale said, "It makes sense, it makes sense. But General Ni, you forgot one person." He laughed: "This person is not here right now, otherwise, if he hears this, he will definitely fight the general for three hundred years." No turn."
Ni Jian thought of his brother-in-law who had finally been captured, and agreed: "Your younger brother's skill is almost three hundred rounds, and it's really no problem for a hundred rounds."
Zi Shi continued to laugh: "Where there is literature, there must be military equipment." It depends on how you say it. Just like what the general said, it is like me, Li Zishi, with a life of three feet and a scholar. The power to bind chickens is like rats crossing the street, and the exhaustion is like a stray dog. But—may I ask the general, what is your Excellency leading the troops here for?"
Laughed loudly: "Isn't my armament the general you?"
Ni Jian was stunned.After a while, he said embarrassingly: "It seems to be the same..."
I thought to myself: Please remember, you can't argue with His Highness, you can't argue with Xiaoyue, you can't argue with Zhuang Lingchen... One more thing: you can't argue with Li Zishi.
Thinking of Xiaoyue, I had an idea.The man in front of me is very knowledgeable, just in time to ask for advice.Seeing Yue Zheng later, he can show off and feel elated.
Bending down and cupping his hands: "Please also ask Zi Shi to call Ni Jian by name. There is a saying of a sage, this...has been punished dozens of times by His Highness. I have asked many people, but I still don't understand it very well. Can I trouble Zi Shi to tell you?" explain?"
"Which sentence is unknown?"
"Feng He, the violent tiger, who dies without regrets, I will not accept it.You must also be afraid of things, and those who are good at planning. "—Everything else here is easy to understand, except for the four words "fear in the face of the situation", which I have never been able to figure out."
Zi Shi put away his smile and said, "Awen and Zhang, show your seat to General Ni. A little song, let's make some tea."
July eleven.
After Ni Jian finished his breakfast, he rushed to the coach's camp excitedly.
Yesterday I listened to Li Zishi's reasoning and storytelling, and I didn't realize I stayed the whole morning.After patrolling around in the afternoon, and then going in to convey the news of the prince, he couldn't help but sit down again as soon as he greeted him.By the way, he also had a special meal for the sick with everyone in Li's residence.General Ni licked his mouth and wiped his tongue after eating, feeling very proud.Besides His Royal Highness, who else has enjoyed such VIP treatment?It's just that the patient didn't eat much of the patient's special meal.However, in Ni Jian's view, Li Zishi is already a figure of the god level.Immortals don't eat, but I don't think it's too strange.
After dinner, a group of people continued to tell stories.Zi Shi was in high spirits, but Zi Gui didn't rush him.The lady didn't speak, and the four articles and songs accompanied her.As a result, General Ni listened to the story in one breath and heard it in the middle of the night, and he was hooked.When I woke up, I remembered the conversation yesterday, which was incredible.I don't know how long it has been since I sat down so honestly. It has been such a long time.After a day, my mind seemed to be quite empty, and I felt like I had to fill in something quickly.
The fast horse that sent the message in the morning finally arrived and went to report immediately.When he walked to the tent door, he was blocked by two maids.Although it is a girl's house, she is dressed in men's clothing like the master, with a knife and arrow hanging from her waist, and her appearance is not bad at all.
"The young master is not feeling well. Please wait a moment, General." The words were polite, but the tone was a bit harsh.A few loyal servants knew that the young master's discomfort had nothing to do with General Ni, but they unanimously vented their anger on him.If it hadn't been for his nagging all day yesterday, which made the young master tired, how could the illness relapse just after a while?
"Ah?..." General Ni had no idea about the word "uncomfortable", and didn't know what to say.
At this time Li Wen came out with a tray in his hand.Seeing the three people at the door looking at him together, he shook his head sadly, and said softly: "I just ate a little, and I vomited again. The night before, plus yesterday... I'm afraid I couldn't fall asleep for two nights..."
Ni Jian was stunned, and shouted: "Don't eat, don't sleep, even if you are really a god! What happened..."
Li Wen was silent for a moment, and said angrily, "What happened? It's not because I'm worried about your Highness!"
"Ah?..." Ni Jian was at a loss, "What is there to worry about..." Turning around, he opened the curtain, stepped in two steps, "Zi Shi!"
"Brother Ni." Zi Shi leaned on the futon and half-lyed on the mattress to read a book, saw him, and helped Zi Gui's hand to sit up.
"Are you worried about Your Highness? That's why you can't sleep or eat?" Looking at him intently, there were a few bloodshot streaks in his light blue eyes, and his whole face was the same color as the pages of an open book in his hand.General Ni seldom had the experience of looking at people like this, and his heart was agitated when he saw it.Originally, I thought it would be too easy for the prince to keep the base camp by himself, but only then did I realize that it might be more difficult than imagined.
He pulled out the book and said, "Don't read it! I'm telling you, don't worry about anything. The news that just arrived, Zhao Ju retreated from Nanshan Pass to the palace with the remnants of the defeated army, and was surrounded by our people. How can you hold on, it’s just a matter of one or two days. Who is King Jingbei? You haven’t fought against him so you don’t know, if it wasn’t for your subordinates being merciful and merciful, this Xijing City should have changed its owner a long time ago!”
Then he turned his head to teach Zigui: "Your Highness, I didn't mean you. Although he is the elder brother and you are the younger sister, what's the matter with the criminals in this situation? If you don't eat, drink or sleep, you really plan to become a fairy?! — Cough! How can the prince ask me to explain when he comes back?"
Zigui took the book he handed over, shook his head, and replied in a low voice: "General, please stop talking."
Too complicated, too tortuous, too much secret, too much helplessness.And words are too poor.Apart from silently accompanying her elder brother, she no longer knew what else to do.
Zi Shi smiled, "Thank you, Brother Nee. The so-called "the benevolent do not worry, the wise do not confuse, and the brave do not fear." Brother Nee is a brave man, so he does not worry. Yesterday, Brother Nee asked what it means to be "fearful when something happens". A ready-made example? You see, I am looking for troubles, but I have nothing to do. In the final analysis, what to worry about is neither for your prince nor for others. Let’s just assume that it is all for him—the Buddha said: "Worry is born of love. , Fear arises out of love." Brother Nee is a born warrior, or when he fell in love, he might be lucky enough to taste the feeling of fear in the face of an emergency? Hehe..."
After being disturbed by Ni Jian, his emotions were diluted a lot.My heart relaxed, and I suddenly fell into a daze.
Zigui sent Ni Jian out, General Ni suddenly remembered that he almost forgot the most important thing, and hurriedly said: "Early this morning, the people of Xijing opened the city gate. Please give instructions from Her Royal Highness, and send people into the city to find Doctor!"
At noon, the doctor invited him, but the soldiers tied him directly from his home and grabbed him immediately.
Poor Tan Ziyu, although he is a commoner, has always been respected, but he is over sixty years old, how many times has he been frightened like this?Fortunately, he had a strong will and a strong body. He was lifted off his horse by a few ferocious Xibing soldiers. As soon as he stood still, he raised his head with his hands behind his back, and said proudly: "If you want to kill or cut, it's up to you. I miss Tan Mou Diagnosing and treating barbarian robbers is a dream!"
It wasn't until he was pushed into the camp that he realized that he was treating an important prisoner of the Xirong people.When I saw Li Wen and Li Zhang again, I realized that this important prisoner turned out to be an old acquaintance.How does he, a folk doctor, know about the affairs of the court?The Tan Mansion is in Beicheng again, and a lot of information is relatively lagging behind. Naturally, the two of them in the article are what they say.
Zi Shi lay in a drowsy state, unable to sleep or wake up.He vaguely heard that Mr. Tan was coaxed by Ah Wen and Zhang so that Mr. Tan was in a hurry to feel the pulse and prescribe a prescription, select acupoints and inject needles, but he was still distracted: a gentleman can deceive the prescription, but it is difficult to follow the wrong way.Mr. Tan is a righteous man, so if he lied to him like this, if I think about it later, I'm afraid I will be stunned to death.well……
Tian Zigui didn't show up at all.Tan Ziyu spared no effort, determined to recover Master Li who had been tortured by the enemy's spirit as soon as possible.After prescribing the prescription, the horse immediately went to Tan's mansion to get the medicine.He also used golden needles to enter the acupoints to stop vomiting, and ordered the two of them to forcefully pour down the soup and medicinal juice.It was not until nightfall that the soldiers of the Western Army escorted An to rest.
As soon as Mr. Tan left, Zigui came in to see Zishi.
"Brother..." This matter is really a bit unkind.However, the eldest brother finally swallowed both the medicine and the food, feeling unspeakably happy in his heart.
Zi Shi patted her hand, closed his eyes and smiled.The body seemed to be slowly becoming his own again. The feeling of unreasonable heaviness and unspeakable oppression, the feeling of weakness of having more than enough heart but not enough strength, was gradually reducing with the return of physical strength.
I thought: sleep, sleep well, and wait for him to come back.
Li Ge suddenly poked his head in and saw that the young lady was still talking to the young master, so he said, "General Ni is here, can the young lady see you?"
At this time, there must be the latest news from the south.
"Why don't you see me? Please."
Ni Jian walked into the tent with light steps, and spoke with a low voice, but his expression was extremely excited: "It's been shot! Your Royal Highness, ah, Zi Shi, haven't you slept yet?" His voice amplified, "It was shot in the afternoon, and the messenger just arrived Said that our people have already entered the Nanshan Palace..."
Zi Shi asked, "Was it brought down? Or Zhao Ju's?"
"Uh……"
Although there was some discrepancy from the expectation, Xijing was successfully captured in the end. No brick, tile, plant or tree was damaged in the city, and the people in the city were unharmed. This operation can be said to be a complete victory.General Ni thought to himself: It's just a palace, what's the difference between fighting or surrendering?
"Whatever you do, you have to fight first! When you can't fight, you have to open the door and surrender. But—" Ni Jian felt that the details were irrelevant, but it seemed that there was no need to deliberately conceal it, so he continued, "Prince Zhao Chang led the Hundreds of officials from the clan descended, Zhao Ju, alas, Zhao Ju died in the bedroom. I heard that it took a long time to fight the fire and grab things, really, death will not let people stop..."
"What did you say!" Zi Shi suddenly sat up.There was a shady Jin Xing in front of him, Zigui hurried to support him.
"Brother Ni, you mean... Zhao Chang surrendered, and Zhao Ju... died?"
"Yes... the news came, that's it."
"No." Zi Shi lowered his head and thought, "No. There must be something wrong here." Holding Zigui's arm, he was about to get up.
"Brother!" Zigui said anxiously, "Brother, what are you going to do?"
"I'm going to have a look."
"no!"
"Yes," Ni Jian chimed in, "What's the problem? Even if there is a problem, what's the use of going to see it now? Besides..."
Zi Shi ignored them and struggled to stand up: "We're going into the city right now. From the north gate to the Nanshan Palace, it's the fastest way to cross the city and take the straight road. Ah Wen Ah Zhang, prepare a car for me..."
"Brother! I don't agree. How can you..."
"Zigui, listen to me..." Feeling nauseated, he bent sideways and spit out all the soup and medicine that he had swallowed before into the spit pot.A few people were so frightened that they hurriedly waited on him, and they didn't have the time to say anything.
Spit clean, but feel more comfortable.After rinsing his mouth, he calmed down and said, "Zigui, anyone in the world may commit suicide, and that person will definitely not be Zhao Ju." Before Zigui could answer, Li Wen and Li Zhang nodded together when they heard this.
"Unless someone tied Zhao Ju to the dragon chair and fueled the fire—who would be so careless right now? Otherwise, the one who fucked him must not be him. Since the one who fucked is not the emperor," looked around , and finally stared at Ni Jian, "So, where did the emperor go?"
Ni Jian thought: Huh? !Isn't it Zhao Ju who died?After sitting around for a long time, Emperor Jinxia ran away. This is really a big problem, it's so bad...
"So, I must go and have a look. General Ni, please order. If you act earlier, you will have a better chance, and maybe you can be saved." With a soft smile, "Emperor Jinxia has run away, and Prince Huarong has not yet left." Go in, let's enter the city now, you thousands of personal guards are the most coquettish, I'll let you have a good time..."
Ni Jian turned to look at Zigui.
Zigui understood that the last sentence of his elder brother seemed to be a joke, but he actually said it to himself to prove that the trip was not dangerous.
However, is running around dangerous?Or is worrying more dangerous?After a little hesitation, he stomped his feet: "Okay! Prepare the car and go to the city!"
Ni Jian laughed and said: "Isn't Zi Shi trying to show off his style? How about I, the commander of the Jingbei Prince's personal guard, drive the car for you personally? This is enough to show off the style!"
It was night, and the guards of King Jingbei entered Xijing from Bei'anmen.Going straight from the north of the city to the south of the city, people and animals are panicked wherever they pass, and they are scrambling to avoid it.
On the way, there were several incidents of looting and looting with open flames. Seeing the appearance of the Xirong army, they scattered like birds and beasts.
It turned out that Zhao Ju secretly abandoned the city and withdrew to the south on the ninth day of the first day. After the martial law was cut off, the soldiers of the Douwei Division dragged on until midnight to leave.It wasn't until the day of the tenth day that the people of Nancheng discovered that not only the imperial palace and government offices in Chongzheng and Chongdefang were empty, but also most of the houses of officials in Enrong and Enzefang were empty shells.Soon, all the people in the city knew that the emperor had escaped with all the officials.In the early morning of the [-]th, someone simply opened the city gate, and everyone waited in fear.Unexpectedly, the Xirong Army is still stationed outside the gate honestly, but the residents who were originally detained under the city can't wait to go home to eat and sleep.
People in the city have been highly nervous and frightened for several days, and now they are suddenly in a state of absolute freedom without supervision, and it is inevitable that they will become mentally disturbed.Those thieves, bullies, hooligans, street gangsters, idlers in the city... instantly became activated viruses, became more lawless, and quickly gained momentum.In addition, those who took the opportunity to vent their anger, make trouble, and profiteering... But in one day, many populated areas were smashed and looted, and the whole city seemed to be in turmoil and chaos.
Encountering the third robbery in the street, Zi Shi said to Zi Gui: "General Ni and I will go to the palace. You take some people to patrol the city to calm the chaos, and put up notices for the people. If necessary, cut off a few heads and hang them up."
Zigui looked around and nodded.
Ni Jian asked: "Is 3000 people enough?"
Her Royal Highness said indifferently: "It's just to deter the common people, 500 people are enough."
yeah?
General Ni suddenly felt a familiar aura.
Insisting on keeping 3000 people, leading the rest of the soldiers and horses to continue galloping southward, it was only then that they realized in an instant: Isn't that the same aura that King Jingbei had during the war?
Suddenly, Zi Shi said behind him: "Brother Ni, don't worry. When the bad guys in Xijing City heard the word Xie Zigui, they would immediately run away with oil on their feet and their tails between their feet. Hehe, this girl..."
In the middle of the night, Zi Shi and Ni Jian finally arrived at the Luanzhangyuan Palace.The outpost flew a horse to report the news, and the guards rushed straight into the palace gate, and Commander Ni drove his car to stop in front of the emperor's bedroom.
The pillars of the porch are all blackened, and the building is basically intact, and it seems that it has not really been built.However, the thick smoke hadn't dissipated, and the scorching stench was unpleasant, mixed with the smell of flesh and blood of countless dead bodies inside and outside the palace walls.
After stepping up the steps, Chang Sheng had already come out: "Zi Shi, why are you..."
"It's not Zhao Ju." Suppressing the annoyance in his chest, seeing Zhuang Lingchen and the others coming out from behind, he repeated, "The one who fucked should not be Zhao Ju."
"?!..." They were all stunned.
Among them, Fu Ao saw Zi Shi for the first time, and he opened his mouth to ask, but the military adviser gave him a wink, so he endured it first.
Chang Sheng stretched out his arms to embrace him, and asked Ni Jian: "Who allows you to run here at this time?"
Zhuang Lingchen said, "How did Zi Shi know it wasn't Zhao Ju?"
"I'll go in and have a look." After that, he covered his nose and raised his leg.
Changsheng took a step across and blocked: "Don't look!"
Because it was discovered in time, the palace and houses were not completely burned, and most of the things were preserved.However, the Dragon Case dragon chair was obviously drenched with high-quality lamp oil. When the soldiers went in to fight the fire, they, together with the people sitting on it, had already burned into a distorted and out-of-control flaming behemoth.In the end, a lump of charcoal was left, and it can still be seen from the remains of the crown accessories that they were worn exclusively by the emperor.
Changsheng held Zishi's hand: "Don't look at it. There's nothing to see. If you say it's not, then it's not. It's just that Li Daitao is stiff and the golden cicada has shed its shell. I'll send someone to search for it right away. ——Isn't it enough to ask them to send a letter? Why run away by yourself ..."
Zi Shi looked at Zhuang Lingchen and asked, "Where is An Chen, the chief servant?"
The latter shook his head: "He was not among those who surrendered. We are expanding the area to clean up and search, and there is no trace yet."
"Where are the grand masters and sons?"
"Dead." Zhuang Lingchen stopped, and glanced sideways at the prince.
Chang Sheng said: "It's too chaotic here, let's talk in another place."
Zi Shi glanced at this and then at that: "Don't waste time. How did the Grand Master and his son die? Brother Zhuang, please continue."
"This... the crown prince led all the officials to surrender. We found that the emperor's bedroom was smoking, so we came to put out the fire first. Then we counted the surrendered people, but we didn't see the grand master and his son. We asked the crown prince and found out—it turned out that it was the night of the eighth day of the lunar new year. , the emperor conspired with his confidantes and used some excuses to lure the grand master and his son into the palace and killed them on the spot. Then he promoted them vigorously, rewarded brave men, and wiped out the Ning family group. After a day and a night, he almost uprooted the power of his relatives Then Zhao Ju abandoned the city and fled to the south, intending to break out of the siege... In this coup, not only the master and his son's minions, but also their family servants, almost all..."
Zi Shi listened silently, backed away unknowingly, and leaned on Chang Sheng.
"Fortunately, we did some homework before, and the emperor was in a hurry to escape, so we didn't take care of many details. We have received news that Mrs. Ning, Marquis Qingyuan, and everyone in the Li Mansion are all safe and sound, but it has yet to be confirmed. It's just that ...It's a pity that Concubine Chi... the emperor's side is fucked, but the empress's side is... oh, it's hanging..."
Chang Sheng hugged Zi Shi's shoulders, and said in a low voice, "It has already been buried, and I will bury him with respect..."
Zi Shi broke free suddenly, turned around and raised his head, staring at him: "No. This coup - why did Zhao Ju do this? Where did he get the courage and courage? When did he become so ruthless? He—"
Stop talking.
Zhuang Lingchen said cautiously beside him: "The emperor purged the Ning family under the banner of... treason and defection to the enemy..."
Chang Sheng was so stared at by the person in front of him that he had nowhere to hide, and his voice squeezed out with difficulty: "Zi Shi... there is something... I haven't told you..."
"Ah."
"When we... were in Guangfeng County, three assassins came the night before we set off... two of them died in the end, and one of them was Nie Kun who came with you. The one that didn't die... fell short, called He escaped. He chased after Panqu Pass, but he didn't catch up, probably...just when the siege was encircled, he fled into Xijing City..."
"Ah."
"Zi Shi, I..."
Changsheng tried hard to say something more, but he cut him off: "I see. A chief of Li Fang, a chief of internal servants, and the emperor himself, worked hard, calculated mentally or unintentionally, and they really have the ability to make such a A coup."
He still asked the military adviser: "When did Zhao Chang last see Zhao Ju?"
"At noon. The gate of the palace seemed to be unstoppable. The emperor summoned the prince and said a few words, which seemed to mean farewell. He also gave the prince the imperial edict and jade seal. Soon, the head of the housekeeper ordered people to send strange things to all parts of the palace. All the precious treasures were carried out and distributed to the soldiers..."
"Who is in charge of guarding the palace?"
"At first, it seemed that it was General Jinwu, the commander of Li Fangsi, who made great contributions to suppressing the rebellion, and was temporarily appointed. Later, somehow, he became the prince's junior teacher, and even the prince himself couldn't explain it clearly. Most likely, the scene was chaotic at that time, and some people fled. I didn't find out in time. By the way, Mr. Xi is about to commit suicide, so he was rescued and tied up with other people for the time being." The military division stopped when he said this.
After hearing this, Zi Shi turned his head and silently looked at the door of the bedroom.
That's An Chen.
An Chen saved himself.
Except for one thing, Director An is confused, and his heart is like a mirror in everything else.
He even left Yuxi behind, entrusted the emperor to Fu Chuqing, and replaced him with his own body, just to seek peace for Zhao Ju.Among the living people in Xijing City, besides him, Li Zishi, who else dares to be so sure as to which one died?
I thought: You hope I let him go, but unfortunately...
He said softly: "This one of the **** is probably... An Chen, the chief servant. The question now is where else can Zhao Ju hide..."
Following the phrase "where to hide", the voice suddenly cut off, a thought flashed through his mind, and his whole body trembled.The idea has not yet been fully formed, and the unprecedentedly strong intuition has already drained all the strength, and the sudden pain from the depths of the soul quickly condenses to a certain point of the body.
"Long..." Just after he said half a word, a mouthful of bright red blood spewed out, and his body limply fell into his arms.
Changsheng hugged subconsciously, and stared blankly at the few blood flowers in front of him gradually dyed and bloomed, forming a bright red one.When he came back to his senses, the moment just passed seemed like half a lifetime.
Only then was he able to make a sound: "Zi Shi!" His face was pale, and he immediately sealed the acupuncture point, but he was caught desperately.
"Entering...the city...they... must be, and in turn...entering the city..."
Although the palace is tightly surrounded, the troops in the outer circle are all concentrated in the south.It would be relatively easy to sneak out of the palace and then return to the city.
Zi Shi felt that a place in his heart was being charred by carbonization, and he couldn't even feel the pain.
"Lan... Lantaisi...cough!" The second mouthful of blood rushed to his throat, and when he swallowed it down forcefully, the pain suddenly recovered, and he suddenly coughed out.
"Zi Shi, don't talk, don't talk..." Chang Sheng wanted to give him acupressure, but he felt an extremely strong rejection from the ten fingers that pinched him tightly, and wiped it for him tremblingly, feeling dizzy for a while.
"Lantais...the underground library...there..."
"I see, Lan Taisi's underground library. Don't worry, I'll send someone after me!"
Zi Shi grabbed him tightly, his fingernails turned blue and white: "No, no..."
"I understand, don't let others go, I will go by myself!"
"I... will go with you..."
Changsheng forcibly calmed down, put his arm around him, and channeled his internal energy with the other: "Don't worry, I'll go in person. Obediently rest here, the imperial doctor will come soon..."
"The organs inside...and...the books...those...books...I, I want...to see with my own eyes..." Panting, "No...let me see...unless..."
Changsheng was so anxious that tears came down, and he made up his mind to knock him out.He pointed his finger in the middle, but was frightened back by the second half of the sentence.
"Unless...you want me...to die with regret..."

A Du (sitting on the edge of the Yaochi, holding hot tea in his hands, flattering and flattering): It's better than heaven!The cold wave in the world came, and the snow fell overnight.Asgard is so beautiful, the four seasons are like spring...
Yan Luo: Madam, she is mocking you.Isn’t the cold wave in the world just—ga! (Being trampled on by A Du)
Queen Mother (busyly crying and rubbing her chest): Hey~~~yo~~hey~~~~ my poor darling~~~~ (glances at Yan Luo) I don’t care about the cold wave, go ask the Jade Emperor, blame me Can't blame me either.Speaking of this, I'm surprised, because Mao Xiaoshou got sick and didn't catch H1N1, the gang squatting in the pits in the lower realm are all due to me?Poor Aijia is dying in this pit...
A Du: What, Mrs. Qizuo, the so-called abusers vary from person to person.A black belly is abused by Xiaobai, a strong man is abused by breastfeeding, and a talented person should be abused by many illnesses.The reason why the pit friends in the lower world are talking about it is because they lack understanding of the special profession of talented people, especially beautiful talented people.
Queen Mother Yan Luo said in unison: Oh?
A Du (seeing Bai Wuchang): Xiaobai (Bai Wuchang trembles), tell your mother about the short-lived ones.
Bai Wuchang: Empress Qizuo, a gifted scholar in the world, is often destined to die because of the hardship of thinking.Such as Yang Xiu, 34 years old; Mi Heng, 26 years old; Wei Jie, 26 years old; Wang Bo, 27 years old; Li He, 27 years old; Zhang Zhupo, 29 years old; Liang Yuchun, 26 years old; Xu Zhimo, 31 years old...
A Du (waving his hand): That's all right.Xiao Hei (Hei Wuchang trembles), tell the empress about the beauty and frailty.
Black Impermanence: Qizuo Niangniang, a mortal talent, has always regarded her beauty as beautiful——
Adu interjected: It’s just that the skeleton is thin and thin, the body is round and fleshy, the clothes are elegant and elegant, and the clothes are soft and slippery... (The queen mother began to drool~~~)
Black impermanence (look at my contemptuous eyes): I often suffer from frailty and sickness.For example, Wei Jie mentioned above, Fengshenxiuyi Bingqingyurun.It is said that after talking with people all night, he was bedridden the next day and was exhausted.It is also said that it was because he was too beautiful, so many people saw him, he was frightened to death—well, I will ask him himself, maybe he will open a sub-project...
Adu: Another example is that in "San Yan Er Pai" there is a genius who suffers from lovesickness, and when he finally sees his lover, he only goes to bed once, and immediately burps.
Yan Luo: That's made up by you mortals.
A Du (sharp): Make it up?Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand.The text conveys the truth, which reflects the profound social and cultural psychology.Madam, there is a man named Lu Xun in the mortal world, who once gave a very incisive description of the career of a wit: "On a snowy day, I vomited half a mouthful of blood, supported by a maid, and lazily went to the yard to see plum blossoms." Mean , but very incisive.Of course, given that his descriptions of many things have this characteristic, we need not think that he is particularly disapproving of wit.
In fact, this person himself was also in poor health, suffering from diseases, and died young.But it seems that there is no maid, and I don't go to see plum blossoms specially, so I finally become a writer, not a wit.Saying this is not to fight injustice for talented people, but just to prove that: usually a model of mental work, the physical fitness is not very good.Western countries may be different, at least in Eastern China.
cough!To sum up, as a beautiful and talented scholar, Li Zishi is king if he is sick!
Queen Mother (continuing to wipe tears): Got it, got it, you just like this tune, what can Aijia do...
Adu: Could it be that the empress doesn't like it?
Queen Mother: Uh... this... I vomited blood, but I haven't seen the plum blossom yet... Remember not to be helped by the maid, but to be hugged by Xiao Gong...
A Du (chachacha waved his sleeves): The servant obeys the order!
Since early in the morning, every two hours, King Jingbei's personal soldiers have circled the city for half a circle, galloping from the south of Xijing to the north to send a message to report safety, and talk about the progress of the battle by the way.
After breakfast, Ni Jian received the news from the first batch of messengers from the prince, and personally conveyed it to the commander's tent.When he entered, the man was talking to his sister and the servant girl.It's inconvenient to interrupt, but I'm not in a hurry anyway, so I just nodded and stood at the door and waited.After listening to a few sentences, it turned out that he was talking about scriptures, and the content was very familiar. It was one of the few famous sayings about war in the sage's speech: "Whoever has literary affairs must have military equipment, and whoever has military affairs must have military affairs." Documentation".
In the second half of the sentence, the example of the Rouran tribe in the past when they entered the middle land and then retreated to the north was cited.Because several listeners were not very familiar with this period of history, the speaker told the story while arguing.Ni Jian listened for a while, and couldn't help being fascinated.
"General Ni?" No response.Zi Shi raised his voice: "General Ni?"
"Ah! Yes!" Ni Jian chuckled and explained: "This story is very interesting... By the way, His Highness sent a message saying that he has arrived at Nanshan Pass and everything is going well. Please don't worry Zishi."
"Thank you, General."
Ni Jian looked at the person opposite, with a kind tone and an amiable demeanor, and suddenly had the urge to talk a little more.Somehow, I came back to the sentence "Those who have literary affairs must have military equipment, and those who have military affairs must have military equipment", and blurted out: "Listen to Zi Shi's talk about both civil and military affairs. In fact, His Highness often talks like this. But we are all rough. People can’t talk about the profoundness of governing a country, that is, in addition to being able to fight wars, they also need to read, read, and understand the truth.”
Zi Shi nodded: "The general's words are simple, but they are the most reasonable."
Being affirmed, Ni Jian was a little smug.In addition, the other party's attitude was too good, so he couldn't help but make a mistake: ""Whoever has military affairs must have documents", I think His Highness is more than ten thousand times stronger than that Rouran King. Not to mention His Highness, there are ten generals in the Jingbei King's army. Eight can be called both civil and military." Glancing at the other people, he added, "There is also Her Royal Highness, including these brothers and girls, who is not capable of both martial arts and literature? In my opinion, it is the "those who have literary affairs must "Armed" is much harder."
Zi Shi tilted his head, interested: "Oh? I would like to hear the details."
"Hey..." Ni Jian scratched his head, saw that the other party looked at him with curiosity and anticipation, and said without holding back: "Emperor Jin Xia, do you have enough literature? The military equipment is in a mess. Not to mention the emperor, ordinary literati It's the same. Military generals can be good at writing, but none of the civil servants are good at martial arts. Our military master Zhuang is pretty good, and we can ride a horse and barely draw a bamboo bow. Another example...Zi Shiyou... "Speaking of this, I finally felt that it was inappropriate, so I swallowed my words.
"Haha..." Zi Shi Dale said, "It makes sense, it makes sense. But General Ni, you forgot one person." He laughed: "This person is not here right now, otherwise, if he hears this, he will definitely fight the general for three hundred years." No turn."
Ni Jian thought of his brother-in-law who had finally been captured, and agreed: "Your younger brother's skill is almost three hundred rounds, and it's really no problem for a hundred rounds."
Zi Shi continued to laugh: "Where there is literature, there must be military equipment." It depends on how you say it. Just like what the general said, it is like me, Li Zishi, with a life of three feet and a scholar. The power to bind chickens is like rats crossing the street, and the exhaustion is like a stray dog. But—may I ask the general, what is your Excellency leading the troops here for?"
Laughed loudly: "Isn't my armament the general you?"
Ni Jian was stunned.After a while, he said embarrassingly: "It seems to be the same..."
I thought to myself: Please remember, you can't argue with His Highness, you can't argue with Xiaoyue, you can't argue with Zhuang Lingchen... One more thing: you can't argue with Li Zishi.
Thinking of Xiaoyue, I had an idea.The man in front of me is very knowledgeable, just in time to ask for advice.Seeing Yue Zheng later, he can show off and feel elated.
Bending down and cupping his hands: "Please also ask Zi Shi to call Ni Jian by name. There is a saying of a sage, this...has been punished dozens of times by His Highness. I have asked many people, but I still don't understand it very well. Can I trouble Zi Shi to tell you?" explain?"
"Which sentence is unknown?"
"Feng He, the violent tiger, who dies without regrets, I will not accept it.You must also be afraid of things, and those who are good at planning. "—Everything else here is easy to understand, except for the four words "fear in the face of the situation", which I have never been able to figure out."
Zi Shi put away his smile and said, "Awen and Zhang, show your seat to General Ni. A little song, let's make some tea."
July eleven.
After Ni Jian finished his breakfast, he rushed to the coach's camp excitedly.
Yesterday I listened to Li Zishi's reasoning and storytelling, and I didn't realize I stayed the whole morning.After patrolling around in the afternoon, and then going in to convey the news of the prince, he couldn't help but sit down again as soon as he greeted him.By the way, he also had a special meal for the sick with everyone in Li's residence.General Ni licked his mouth and wiped his tongue after eating, feeling very proud.Besides His Royal Highness, who else has enjoyed such VIP treatment?It's just that the patient didn't eat much of the patient's special meal.However, in Ni Jian's view, Li Zishi is already a figure of the god level.Immortals don't eat, but I don't think it's too strange.
After dinner, a group of people continued to tell stories.Zi Shi was in high spirits, but Zi Gui didn't rush him.The lady didn't speak, and the four articles and songs accompanied her.As a result, General Ni listened to the story in one breath and heard it in the middle of the night, and he was hooked.When I woke up, I remembered the conversation yesterday, which was incredible.I don't know how long it has been since I sat down so honestly. It has been such a long time.After a day, my mind seemed to be quite empty, and I felt like I had to fill in something quickly.
The fast horse that sent the message in the morning finally arrived and went to report immediately.When he walked to the tent door, he was blocked by two maids.Although it is a girl's house, she is dressed in men's clothing like the master, with a knife and arrow hanging from her waist, and her appearance is not bad at all.
"The young master is not feeling well. Please wait a moment, General." The words were polite, but the tone was a bit harsh.A few loyal servants knew that the young master's discomfort had nothing to do with General Ni, but they unanimously vented their anger on him.If it hadn't been for his nagging all day yesterday, which made the young master tired, how could the illness relapse just after a while?
"Ah?..." General Ni had no idea about the word "uncomfortable", and didn't know what to say.
At this time Li Wen came out with a tray in his hand.Seeing the three people at the door looking at him together, he shook his head sadly, and said softly: "I just ate a little, and I vomited again. The night before, plus yesterday... I'm afraid I couldn't fall asleep for two nights..."
Ni Jian was stunned, and shouted: "Don't eat, don't sleep, even if you are really a god! What happened..."
Li Wen was silent for a moment, and said angrily, "What happened? It's not because I'm worried about your Highness!"
"Ah?..." Ni Jian was at a loss, "What is there to worry about..." Turning around, he opened the curtain, stepped in two steps, "Zi Shi!"
"Brother Ni." Zi Shi leaned on the futon and half-lyed on the mattress to read a book, saw him, and helped Zi Gui's hand to sit up.
"Are you worried about Your Highness? That's why you can't sleep or eat?" Looking at him intently, there were a few bloodshot streaks in his light blue eyes, and his whole face was the same color as the pages of an open book in his hand.General Ni seldom had the experience of looking at people like this, and his heart was agitated when he saw it.Originally, I thought it would be too easy for the prince to keep the base camp by himself, but only then did I realize that it might be more difficult than imagined.
He pulled out the book and said, "Don't read it! I'm telling you, don't worry about anything. The news that just arrived, Zhao Ju retreated from Nanshan Pass to the palace with the remnants of the defeated army, and was surrounded by our people. How can you hold on, it’s just a matter of one or two days. Who is King Jingbei? You haven’t fought against him so you don’t know, if it wasn’t for your subordinates being merciful and merciful, this Xijing City should have changed its owner a long time ago!”
Then he turned his head to teach Zigui: "Your Highness, I didn't mean you. Although he is the elder brother and you are the younger sister, what's the matter with the criminals in this situation? If you don't eat, drink or sleep, you really plan to become a fairy?! — Cough! How can the prince ask me to explain when he comes back?"
Zigui took the book he handed over, shook his head, and replied in a low voice: "General, please stop talking."
Too complicated, too tortuous, too much secret, too much helplessness.And words are too poor.Apart from silently accompanying her elder brother, she no longer knew what else to do.
Zi Shi smiled, "Thank you, Brother Nee. The so-called "the benevolent do not worry, the wise do not confuse, and the brave do not fear." Brother Nee is a brave man, so he does not worry. Yesterday, Brother Nee asked what it means to be "fearful when something happens". A ready-made example? You see, I am looking for troubles, but I have nothing to do. In the final analysis, what to worry about is neither for your prince nor for others. Let’s just assume that it is all for him—the Buddha said: "Worry is born of love. , Fear arises out of love." Brother Nee is a born warrior, or when he fell in love, he might be lucky enough to taste the feeling of fear in the face of an emergency? Hehe..."
After being disturbed by Ni Jian, his emotions were diluted a lot.My heart relaxed, and I suddenly fell into a daze.
Zigui sent Ni Jian out, General Ni suddenly remembered that he almost forgot the most important thing, and hurriedly said: "Early this morning, the people of Xijing opened the city gate. Please give instructions from Her Royal Highness, and send people into the city to find Doctor!"
At noon, the doctor invited him, but the soldiers tied him directly from his home and grabbed him immediately.
Poor Tan Ziyu, although he is a commoner, has always been respected, but he is over sixty years old, how many times has he been frightened like this?Fortunately, he had a strong will and a strong body. He was lifted off his horse by a few ferocious Xibing soldiers. As soon as he stood still, he raised his head with his hands behind his back, and said proudly: "If you want to kill or cut, it's up to you. I miss Tan Mou Diagnosing and treating barbarian robbers is a dream!"
It wasn't until he was pushed into the camp that he realized that he was treating an important prisoner of the Xirong people.When I saw Li Wen and Li Zhang again, I realized that this important prisoner turned out to be an old acquaintance.How does he, a folk doctor, know about the affairs of the court?The Tan Mansion is in Beicheng again, and a lot of information is relatively lagging behind. Naturally, the two of them in the article are what they say.
Zi Shi lay in a drowsy state, unable to sleep or wake up.He vaguely heard that Mr. Tan was coaxed by Ah Wen and Zhang so that Mr. Tan was in a hurry to feel the pulse and prescribe a prescription, select acupoints and inject needles, but he was still distracted: a gentleman can deceive the prescription, but it is difficult to follow the wrong way.Mr. Tan is a righteous man, so if he lied to him like this, if I think about it later, I'm afraid I will be stunned to death.well……
Tian Zigui didn't show up at all.Tan Ziyu spared no effort, determined to recover Master Li who had been tortured by the enemy's spirit as soon as possible.After prescribing the prescription, the horse immediately went to Tan's mansion to get the medicine.He also used golden needles to enter the acupoints to stop vomiting, and ordered the two of them to forcefully pour down the soup and medicinal juice.It was not until nightfall that the soldiers of the Western Army escorted An to rest.
As soon as Mr. Tan left, Zigui came in to see Zishi.
"Brother..." This matter is really a bit unkind.However, the eldest brother finally swallowed both the medicine and the food, feeling unspeakably happy in his heart.
Zi Shi patted her hand, closed his eyes and smiled.The body seemed to be slowly becoming his own again. The feeling of unreasonable heaviness and unspeakable oppression, the feeling of weakness of having more than enough heart but not enough strength, was gradually reducing with the return of physical strength.
I thought: sleep, sleep well, and wait for him to come back.
Li Ge suddenly poked his head in and saw that the young lady was still talking to the young master, so he said, "General Ni is here, can the young lady see you?"
At this time, there must be the latest news from the south.
"Why don't you see me? Please."
Ni Jian walked into the tent with light steps, and spoke with a low voice, but his expression was extremely excited: "It's been shot! Your Royal Highness, ah, Zi Shi, haven't you slept yet?" His voice amplified, "It was shot in the afternoon, and the messenger just arrived Said that our people have already entered the Nanshan Palace..."
Zi Shi asked, "Was it brought down? Or Zhao Ju's?"
"Uh……"
Although there was some discrepancy from the expectation, Xijing was successfully captured in the end. No brick, tile, plant or tree was damaged in the city, and the people in the city were unharmed. This operation can be said to be a complete victory.General Ni thought to himself: It's just a palace, what's the difference between fighting or surrendering?
"Whatever you do, you have to fight first! When you can't fight, you have to open the door and surrender. But—" Ni Jian felt that the details were irrelevant, but it seemed that there was no need to deliberately conceal it, so he continued, "Prince Zhao Chang led the Hundreds of officials from the clan descended, Zhao Ju, alas, Zhao Ju died in the bedroom. I heard that it took a long time to fight the fire and grab things, really, death will not let people stop..."
"What did you say!" Zi Shi suddenly sat up.There was a shady Jin Xing in front of him, Zigui hurried to support him.
"Brother Ni, you mean... Zhao Chang surrendered, and Zhao Ju... died?"
"Yes... the news came, that's it."
"No." Zi Shi lowered his head and thought, "No. There must be something wrong here." Holding Zigui's arm, he was about to get up.
"Brother!" Zigui said anxiously, "Brother, what are you going to do?"
"I'm going to have a look."
"no!"
"Yes," Ni Jian chimed in, "What's the problem? Even if there is a problem, what's the use of going to see it now? Besides..."
Zi Shi ignored them and struggled to stand up: "We're going into the city right now. From the north gate to the Nanshan Palace, it's the fastest way to cross the city and take the straight road. Ah Wen Ah Zhang, prepare a car for me..."
"Brother! I don't agree. How can you..."
"Zigui, listen to me..." Feeling nauseated, he bent sideways and spit out all the soup and medicine that he had swallowed before into the spit pot.A few people were so frightened that they hurriedly waited on him, and they didn't have the time to say anything.
Spit clean, but feel more comfortable.After rinsing his mouth, he calmed down and said, "Zigui, anyone in the world may commit suicide, and that person will definitely not be Zhao Ju." Before Zigui could answer, Li Wen and Li Zhang nodded together when they heard this.
"Unless someone tied Zhao Ju to the dragon chair and fueled the fire—who would be so careless right now? Otherwise, the one who fucked him must not be him. Since the one who fucked is not the emperor," looked around , and finally stared at Ni Jian, "So, where did the emperor go?"
Ni Jian thought: Huh? !Isn't it Zhao Ju who died?After sitting around for a long time, Emperor Jinxia ran away. This is really a big problem, it's so bad...
"So, I must go and have a look. General Ni, please order. If you act earlier, you will have a better chance, and maybe you can be saved." With a soft smile, "Emperor Jinxia has run away, and Prince Huarong has not yet left." Go in, let's enter the city now, you thousands of personal guards are the most coquettish, I'll let you have a good time..."
Ni Jian turned to look at Zigui.
Zigui understood that the last sentence of his elder brother seemed to be a joke, but he actually said it to himself to prove that the trip was not dangerous.
However, is running around dangerous?Or is worrying more dangerous?After a little hesitation, he stomped his feet: "Okay! Prepare the car and go to the city!"
Ni Jian laughed and said: "Isn't Zi Shi trying to show off his style? How about I, the commander of the Jingbei Prince's personal guard, drive the car for you personally? This is enough to show off the style!"
It was night, and the guards of King Jingbei entered Xijing from Bei'anmen.Going straight from the north of the city to the south of the city, people and animals are panicked wherever they pass, and they are scrambling to avoid it.
On the way, there were several incidents of looting and looting with open flames. Seeing the appearance of the Xirong army, they scattered like birds and beasts.
It turned out that Zhao Ju secretly abandoned the city and withdrew to the south on the ninth day of the first day. After the martial law was cut off, the soldiers of the Douwei Division dragged on until midnight to leave.It wasn't until the day of the tenth day that the people of Nancheng discovered that not only the imperial palace and government offices in Chongzheng and Chongdefang were empty, but also most of the houses of officials in Enrong and Enzefang were empty shells.Soon, all the people in the city knew that the emperor had escaped with all the officials.In the early morning of the [-]th, someone simply opened the city gate, and everyone waited in fear.Unexpectedly, the Xirong Army is still stationed outside the gate honestly, but the residents who were originally detained under the city can't wait to go home to eat and sleep.
People in the city have been highly nervous and frightened for several days, and now they are suddenly in a state of absolute freedom without supervision, and it is inevitable that they will become mentally disturbed.Those thieves, bullies, hooligans, street gangsters, idlers in the city... instantly became activated viruses, became more lawless, and quickly gained momentum.In addition, those who took the opportunity to vent their anger, make trouble, and profiteering... But in one day, many populated areas were smashed and looted, and the whole city seemed to be in turmoil and chaos.
Encountering the third robbery in the street, Zi Shi said to Zi Gui: "General Ni and I will go to the palace. You take some people to patrol the city to calm the chaos, and put up notices for the people. If necessary, cut off a few heads and hang them up."
Zigui looked around and nodded.
Ni Jian asked: "Is 3000 people enough?"
Her Royal Highness said indifferently: "It's just to deter the common people, 500 people are enough."
yeah?
General Ni suddenly felt a familiar aura.
Insisting on keeping 3000 people, leading the rest of the soldiers and horses to continue galloping southward, it was only then that they realized in an instant: Isn't that the same aura that King Jingbei had during the war?
Suddenly, Zi Shi said behind him: "Brother Ni, don't worry. When the bad guys in Xijing City heard the word Xie Zigui, they would immediately run away with oil on their feet and their tails between their feet. Hehe, this girl..."
In the middle of the night, Zi Shi and Ni Jian finally arrived at the Luanzhangyuan Palace.The outpost flew a horse to report the news, and the guards rushed straight into the palace gate, and Commander Ni drove his car to stop in front of the emperor's bedroom.
The pillars of the porch are all blackened, and the building is basically intact, and it seems that it has not really been built.However, the thick smoke hadn't dissipated, and the scorching stench was unpleasant, mixed with the smell of flesh and blood of countless dead bodies inside and outside the palace walls.
After stepping up the steps, Chang Sheng had already come out: "Zi Shi, why are you..."
"It's not Zhao Ju." Suppressing the annoyance in his chest, seeing Zhuang Lingchen and the others coming out from behind, he repeated, "The one who fucked should not be Zhao Ju."
"?!..." They were all stunned.
Among them, Fu Ao saw Zi Shi for the first time, and he opened his mouth to ask, but the military adviser gave him a wink, so he endured it first.
Chang Sheng stretched out his arms to embrace him, and asked Ni Jian: "Who allows you to run here at this time?"
Zhuang Lingchen said, "How did Zi Shi know it wasn't Zhao Ju?"
"I'll go in and have a look." After that, he covered his nose and raised his leg.
Changsheng took a step across and blocked: "Don't look!"
Because it was discovered in time, the palace and houses were not completely burned, and most of the things were preserved.However, the Dragon Case dragon chair was obviously drenched with high-quality lamp oil. When the soldiers went in to fight the fire, they, together with the people sitting on it, had already burned into a distorted and out-of-control flaming behemoth.In the end, a lump of charcoal was left, and it can still be seen from the remains of the crown accessories that they were worn exclusively by the emperor.
Changsheng held Zishi's hand: "Don't look at it. There's nothing to see. If you say it's not, then it's not. It's just that Li Daitao is stiff and the golden cicada has shed its shell. I'll send someone to search for it right away. ——Isn't it enough to ask them to send a letter? Why run away by yourself ..."
Zi Shi looked at Zhuang Lingchen and asked, "Where is An Chen, the chief servant?"
The latter shook his head: "He was not among those who surrendered. We are expanding the area to clean up and search, and there is no trace yet."
"Where are the grand masters and sons?"
"Dead." Zhuang Lingchen stopped, and glanced sideways at the prince.
Chang Sheng said: "It's too chaotic here, let's talk in another place."
Zi Shi glanced at this and then at that: "Don't waste time. How did the Grand Master and his son die? Brother Zhuang, please continue."
"This... the crown prince led all the officials to surrender. We found that the emperor's bedroom was smoking, so we came to put out the fire first. Then we counted the surrendered people, but we didn't see the grand master and his son. We asked the crown prince and found out—it turned out that it was the night of the eighth day of the lunar new year. , the emperor conspired with his confidantes and used some excuses to lure the grand master and his son into the palace and killed them on the spot. Then he promoted them vigorously, rewarded brave men, and wiped out the Ning family group. After a day and a night, he almost uprooted the power of his relatives Then Zhao Ju abandoned the city and fled to the south, intending to break out of the siege... In this coup, not only the master and his son's minions, but also their family servants, almost all..."
Zi Shi listened silently, backed away unknowingly, and leaned on Chang Sheng.
"Fortunately, we did some homework before, and the emperor was in a hurry to escape, so we didn't take care of many details. We have received news that Mrs. Ning, Marquis Qingyuan, and everyone in the Li Mansion are all safe and sound, but it has yet to be confirmed. It's just that ...It's a pity that Concubine Chi... the emperor's side is fucked, but the empress's side is... oh, it's hanging..."
Chang Sheng hugged Zi Shi's shoulders, and said in a low voice, "It has already been buried, and I will bury him with respect..."
Zi Shi broke free suddenly, turned around and raised his head, staring at him: "No. This coup - why did Zhao Ju do this? Where did he get the courage and courage? When did he become so ruthless? He—"
Stop talking.
Zhuang Lingchen said cautiously beside him: "The emperor purged the Ning family under the banner of... treason and defection to the enemy..."
Chang Sheng was so stared at by the person in front of him that he had nowhere to hide, and his voice squeezed out with difficulty: "Zi Shi... there is something... I haven't told you..."
"Ah."
"When we... were in Guangfeng County, three assassins came the night before we set off... two of them died in the end, and one of them was Nie Kun who came with you. The one that didn't die... fell short, called He escaped. He chased after Panqu Pass, but he didn't catch up, probably...just when the siege was encircled, he fled into Xijing City..."
"Ah."
"Zi Shi, I..."
Changsheng tried hard to say something more, but he cut him off: "I see. A chief of Li Fang, a chief of internal servants, and the emperor himself, worked hard, calculated mentally or unintentionally, and they really have the ability to make such a A coup."
He still asked the military adviser: "When did Zhao Chang last see Zhao Ju?"
"At noon. The gate of the palace seemed to be unstoppable. The emperor summoned the prince and said a few words, which seemed to mean farewell. He also gave the prince the imperial edict and jade seal. Soon, the head of the housekeeper ordered people to send strange things to all parts of the palace. All the precious treasures were carried out and distributed to the soldiers..."
"Who is in charge of guarding the palace?"
"At first, it seemed that it was General Jinwu, the commander of Li Fangsi, who made great contributions to suppressing the rebellion, and was temporarily appointed. Later, somehow, he became the prince's junior teacher, and even the prince himself couldn't explain it clearly. Most likely, the scene was chaotic at that time, and some people fled. I didn't find out in time. By the way, Mr. Xi is about to commit suicide, so he was rescued and tied up with other people for the time being." The military division stopped when he said this.
After hearing this, Zi Shi turned his head and silently looked at the door of the bedroom.
That's An Chen.
An Chen saved himself.
Except for one thing, Director An is confused, and his heart is like a mirror in everything else.
He even left Yuxi behind, entrusted the emperor to Fu Chuqing, and replaced him with his own body, just to seek peace for Zhao Ju.Among the living people in Xijing City, besides him, Li Zishi, who else dares to be so sure as to which one died?
I thought: You hope I let him go, but unfortunately...
He said softly: "This one of the **** is probably... An Chen, the chief servant. The question now is where else can Zhao Ju hide..."
Following the phrase "where to hide", the voice suddenly cut off, a thought flashed through his mind, and his whole body trembled.The idea has not yet been fully formed, and the unprecedentedly strong intuition has already drained all the strength, and the sudden pain from the depths of the soul quickly condenses to a certain point of the body.
"Long..." Just after he said half a word, a mouthful of bright red blood spewed out, and his body limply fell into his arms.
Changsheng hugged subconsciously, and stared blankly at the few blood flowers in front of him gradually dyed and bloomed, forming a bright red one.When he came back to his senses, the moment just passed seemed like half a lifetime.
Only then was he able to make a sound: "Zi Shi!" His face was pale, and he immediately sealed the acupuncture point, but he was caught desperately.
"Entering...the city...they... must be, and in turn...entering the city..."
Although the palace is tightly surrounded, the troops in the outer circle are all concentrated in the south.It would be relatively easy to sneak out of the palace and then return to the city.
Zi Shi felt that a place in his heart was being charred by carbonization, and he couldn't even feel the pain.
"Lan... Lantaisi...cough!" The second mouthful of blood rushed to his throat, and when he swallowed it down forcefully, the pain suddenly recovered, and he suddenly coughed out.
"Zi Shi, don't talk, don't talk..." Chang Sheng wanted to give him acupressure, but he felt an extremely strong rejection from the ten fingers that pinched him tightly, and wiped it for him tremblingly, feeling dizzy for a while.
"Lantais...the underground library...there..."
"I see, Lan Taisi's underground library. Don't worry, I'll send someone after me!"
Zi Shi grabbed him tightly, his fingernails turned blue and white: "No, no..."
"I understand, don't let others go, I will go by myself!"
"I... will go with you..."
Changsheng forcibly calmed down, put his arm around him, and channeled his internal energy with the other: "Don't worry, I'll go in person. Obediently rest here, the imperial doctor will come soon..."
"The organs inside...and...the books...those...books...I, I want...to see with my own eyes..." Panting, "No...let me see...unless..."
Changsheng was so anxious that tears came down, and he made up his mind to knock him out.He pointed his finger in the middle, but was frightened back by the second half of the sentence.
"Unless...you want me...to die with regret..."
The author has something to say:
Note 1:
"Those who have literary affairs must have military preparations, and those who have military affairs must have literary preparations": see "Historical Records? The Family of Confucius"
Note 2:
"The violent tiger Fenghe, who dies without regret, I will not be with him. He must also be afraid of the situation, and he is also willing to plan to succeed": see "The Analects of Confucius? Shuer".General idea: (Confucius said) I will not work with a man who fights a tiger with bare hands, fords a river on foot, and dies without regret.Those who work with me must be cautious, good at planning and able to complete tasks.
Note 3:
"The benevolent have no worries, the wise have no confusion, and the brave have no fear": see "The Analects of Confucius? Xianwen"
Note 4:
"Sorrow arises from love, and fear arises from love": it is said to come from Master Tang Yijing's "Buddha Says the King of Wonderful Colors"
Note 5:
"A gentleman can deceive the way, but it is difficult to ignore the wrong way": see "Mencius Wan Zhangshang"
A Du (sitting on the edge of the Yaochi, holding hot tea in his hands, flattering and flattering): It's better than heaven!The cold wave in the world came, and the snow fell overnight.Asgard is so beautiful, the four seasons are like spring...
Yan Luo: Madam, she is mocking you.Isn’t the cold wave in the world just—ga! (Being trampled on by A Du)
Queen Mother (busyly crying and rubbing her chest): Hey~~~yo~~hey~~~~ my poor darling~~~~ (glances at Yan Luo) I don’t care about the cold wave, go ask the Jade Emperor, blame me Can't blame me either.Speaking of this, I'm surprised, because Mao Xiaoshou got sick and didn't catch H1N1, the gang squatting in the pits in the lower realm are all due to me?Poor Aijia is dying in this pit...
A Du: What, Mrs. Qizuo, the so-called abusers vary from person to person.A black belly is abused by Xiaobai, a strong man is abused by breastfeeding, and a talented person should be abused by many illnesses.The reason why the pit friends in the lower world are talking about it is because they lack understanding of the special profession of talented people, especially beautiful talented people.
Queen Mother Yan Luo said in unison: Oh?
A Du (seeing Bai Wuchang): Xiaobai (Bai Wuchang trembles), tell your mother about the short-lived ones.
Bai Wuchang: Empress Qizuo, a gifted scholar in the world, is often destined to die because of the hardship of thinking.Such as Yang Xiu, 34 years old; Mi Heng, 26 years old; Wei Jie, 26 years old; Wang Bo, 27 years old; Li He, 27 years old; Zhang Zhupo, 29 years old; Liang Yuchun, 26 years old; Xu Zhimo, 31 years old...
A Du (waving his hand): That's all right.Xiao Hei (Hei Wuchang trembles), tell the empress about the beauty and frailty.
Black Impermanence: Qizuo Niangniang, a mortal talent, has always regarded her beauty as beautiful——
Adu interjected: It’s just that the skeleton is thin and thin, the body is round and fleshy, the clothes are elegant and elegant, and the clothes are soft and slippery... (The queen mother began to drool~~~)
Black impermanence (look at my contemptuous eyes): I often suffer from frailty and sickness.For example, Wei Jie mentioned above, Fengshenxiuyi Bingqingyurun.It is said that after talking with people all night, he was bedridden the next day and was exhausted.It is also said that it was because he was too beautiful, so many people saw him, he was frightened to death—well, I will ask him himself, maybe he will open a sub-project...
Adu: Another example is that in "San Yan Er Pai" there is a genius who suffers from lovesickness, and when he finally sees his lover, he only goes to bed once, and immediately burps.
Yan Luo: That's made up by you mortals.
A Du (sharp): Make it up?Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand.The text conveys the truth, which reflects the profound social and cultural psychology.Madam, there is a man named Lu Xun in the mortal world, who once gave a very incisive description of the career of a wit: "On a snowy day, I vomited half a mouthful of blood, supported by a maid, and lazily went to the yard to see plum blossoms." Mean , but very incisive.Of course, given that his descriptions of many things have this characteristic, we need not think that he is particularly disapproving of wit.
In fact, this person himself was also in poor health, suffering from diseases, and died young.But it seems that there is no maid, and I don't go to see plum blossoms specially, so I finally become a writer, not a wit.Saying this is not to fight injustice for talented people, but just to prove that: usually a model of mental work, the physical fitness is not very good.Western countries may be different, at least in Eastern China.
cough!To sum up, as a beautiful and talented scholar, Li Zishi is king if he is sick!
Queen Mother (continuing to wipe tears): Got it, got it, you just like this tune, what can Aijia do...
Adu: Could it be that the empress doesn't like it?
Queen Mother: Uh... this... I vomited blood, but I haven't seen the plum blossom yet... Remember not to be helped by the maid, but to be hugged by Xiao Gong...
A Du (chachacha waved his sleeves): The servant obeys the order!
