[Red Mansions] The Road to Empress Dowager

Jia's mother looked at Jia Lian, and although she was excited when she thought of Yuan Chun being the concubine, she was unavoidably terrified when she thought of what would happen to Prince Yizhong and his party members, and Jia Zheng couldn't help shrinking back.

However, Jia Amnesty was a little thoughtful because of Jia Lian's sentence "Ms. So-and-so's uncle is not as good as a first-class general".

If he succeeds, he will be an elder uncle, while Zheng Er will become the mother's biological father.Obviously he was the one who took the biggest risk, but it was Zheng Er who got the biggest benefit in the end, why?He is now a first-class general who does nothing now, and if he takes risks, there are two results. One is that he fails and loses his life, and the other is that he succeeds in helping the second son of the government become the head of the country, and even more pressure him.

Jia She sighed: "Come on, I don't care about this matter! Mother, if there is nothing else, I'll go back, and don't come to me for anything tomorrow." Saying this, he saluted Old Madam Shi, turned and left .

Mrs. Wang was in a hurry and called out to him, but Jia Amnesty only showed her back with dangling sleeves, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but look to Mrs. Jia for help.

Jia's mother was in a dilemma, and she couldn't do it even if she was asked to go back to Jinling crying and crying in order to force Jia's amnesty to seek rebellion.

Jia's mansion did not bet on the bet because Jia Lian, a man of conscience, prevented him from betting on it, and because Jia Lian was influenced by Shi Rui, he saw it more clearly, so he did not participate in this big event.

But Tu Yuanyi, in order to get the military power in the Beijing camp, he secretly descended to Prince Teng, who was very powerful in the Beijing camp, to be the inspector of the capital of the nine provinces, and was ordered to patrol the northeast.The Wang family also didn't have a backbone, so they didn't participate, and the two princes of the Shi family didn't go because no one from the Wang family and Jia family went to Conglong.

But one idiot, Jia Zhen, wanted to go, but Jia Lian, who had a good relationship with him, held him down for life.Back then when he supported Prince Yizhong, Jia Jing went to become a Taoist priest, but Jia Zhen was still like this.For this reason, Jia Zhen almost fell out with Jia Lian, and finally Jia Amnesty came forward and said: "You don't have a daughter to be your mother." Jia Zhen stopped.

……

The protagonists of the incident, Tu Yuankang and Tu Yuanfeng, said that they did not turn back, and those who suffered losses in the south of the Yangtze River were also greedy for the merits of the dragon and repaying the benevolent monarch Tu Yuanyi.

There were not many and not few people who went to participate in the court. The cronies or in-laws of the three kings Cheng, Lian, and Gong were in the same chariot, and the arrow had to be fired.

Before the storm came, the weather was overcast and dusty.And before a bloody struggle comes, news is always secretly spread among the people.

It is said that the current saint is mean and ungrateful, and he cares about human life in the south of the Yangtze River. He is a cruel and unkind emperor. The nobles and officials headed by the royal family, the king of Kangning County, Yong Yihou, etc., and the relatives of the emperor asked the old sage to return to the court to set the court order.

Zhou Xianchuan is the commander of the West Camp of the Beijing Imperial Guards. He is 46 years old this year. He lived a rough life in his early years. He later became a monk in Shaolin Temple. He practiced martial arts since he was a child. Your Excellency, Prince Zhongxian.Prince Zhongxian is the uncle of the old sage, and he has made great efforts to support the old sage to the top and help him to stabilize the country.

Later, he was recommended by Prince Zhongxian to join the army, and he has accumulated meritorious qualifications and is now the commander of the West Camp of the Imperial Guard in Kyoto.

He is different from the Hexi Jiedu envoy Ma Baocheng, who has a daughter like Prince Lian's side concubine, and he does not want to participate in the battle for the heir apparent.But he was born as a disciple of Prince Zhongxian, so he was invited by Prince Zhongxian, so he had no choice but to come to Prince Lian's mansion.

Sun Jingliang, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, persuaded Zhou Xianchuan, and Zhou Xianchuan said: "Master Sun, you know that I have been favored by Prince Zhongxian for supporting me, and I have also been favored by the old sage for knowing me, but as long as the old sage and the prince are in danger, the officials will die No resignation. But the etiquette of the monarch and ministers has to be kept, and now the saint's work is not a merit or demerit, and it is not something that lower officials can comment on."

"General Zhou, we didn't mean to be disrespectful and hurt... that life." Sun Jingliang's daughter is Prince Lian's side concubine, and now she has a son. The old saint really meant to train Prince Lian, At that time, Sun Jingliang, who was still the servant of the Ministry of officials, boarded Prince Lian's boat.

But when the old sage was suddenly rumored to be the Seventh Prince, he could no longer get off the boat. In recent years, although he was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, most of his power was emptied, and he had to be cautious.Originally, he still had the idea of ​​resigning from office to protect himself, but his daughter, grandson and sons couldn't escape, so they had to stay.

"General Zhou, the ancients said that the people are the most important, the country is second, and the king is the lightest. The man who killed innocent people in the south of the Yangtze River and shook the country and the country of the Great Zhou was not the work of a benevolent king. He restarted the East and West Factory and let the eunuchs walk outside the palace. , Interfering in government affairs, this will lead to the disaster of subjugation of the country. We are just for the sake of the people of the world, the country and the country, and sacrifice small righteousness for the great. What you do is really not the master of man!"

Zhou Xianchuan had another idea in his mind. Although the saint rebuilt the east and west factories, the eunuchs were not allowed to interfere with the command of the army.They just had two literate eunuchs in the Beijing camp who could read and write basic calculations, and told Shengding how much the imperial army was paid, and told them that if their superiors did not pay so much, they could tell them.

There are still many soldiers in the imperial army who want to read and write, they like the eunuchs of Xichang, although the two eunuchs are also greedy for money and accept their benefits.

Zhou Xianchuan came up from the lower ranks, and he understood that the sage did this to prevent his salary from being paid and the superior military officer from embezzling and drinking the blood of soldiers.To say that the sage does not cherish the soldiers is empty talk.

Zhou Xianchuan said: "A sage has made mistakes, and a minister should give advice. If there is any disagreement, he will raise it..." The word "soldier" was swallowed by Zhou Xianchuan.

"Xianchuan." Just at this moment, a man in a white python robe strolled over. He had a beautiful beard hanging down, dragon eyebrows and tiger eyes, graceful and dignified. It was the Zhongxian Prince Tuye, Emperor Zhenzong of the Great Zhou Dynasty The younger brother of Tu Yu's mother and compatriot.

……

Zhou Xianchuan rode fast horses back to Xiying with Prince Zhongxian's personal guards, and the official road was full of dust.Suddenly, with two swishing sounds, two arrows flew towards him, one aimed at him, and the other at Prince Zhongxian's personal guard.Zhou Xianchuan hurriedly leaned back, only to feel the arrow feathers passing over his face with a strong wind, scraping his cheeks with pain.

Good archery!

Prince Zhongxian's personal guard was also a master of the rivers and lakes, but he refused to admit defeat and swung his knife to slash. After the arrow shaft broke, the half-broken arrow hit his chest due to the remaining force. Fortunately, it did not penetrate deep into the flesh.

Zhou Xianchuan held the reins and took a closer look. There was a purple-robed knight in front of him, but a bright topaz belt was wrapped around his waist. The pair of dragon boots were particularly eye-catching.But seeing his black hair in a high bundle, the bright yellow forehead embroidered with double dragons playing beads, his handsome face is as sharp as a sword out of its sheath, with dragon eyebrows and phoenix eyes, without anger and majesty.

And he hung the emperor's sword at his waist, holding a golden bow in his hand, followed by ten Jinyi guards and four Xichang eunuchs.

Both Zhou Xianchuan and Liu San, Prince Zhongxian's personal guard, could not help but let out an ah.

Saint, when did he return to Kyoto?Didn't it mean that Yujia is still in Xuzhou?

Although Zhou Xianchuan was pressured by Prince Zhongxian to plan to participate in this palace change, he got off his horse instinctively at this time, and was embarrassed by whether he would worship or not. Zhao San, Prince Zhongxian's personal guard, could admit the color even though he had never seen a saint. Take out the signal flare and want to send a signal to remind you of the crisis.

When it was too late, Tu Yuanyi raised his bow and set an arrow, and both arrows were fired together, with two swishing sounds, Zhou Xianchuan thought that the saint was going to shoot each of them with one arrow, but he only felt the wind blowing past him, and he could hear it behind him. There was a scream.

"Zhao San!" Zhou Xianchuan turned his head, and found that Zhao San had an arrow nailed into the palms of both hands, and was immediately dripping with blood.

Tu Yuanyi looked at Zhou Xianchuan coldly, and said, "Zhou Aiqing, what are you doing with the emperor's uncle's personal guard?"

Zhou Xianchuan's return to Beijing was done in secret, and he still had his confidantes in Xiying to cover it up first. Logically, he had an important position, and he could not just drop his post and return to Beijing after receiving a secret letter from the clan, let alone to discuss such matters .

But now Tu Yuanyi has the dual monitoring eyes and ears of Xichang and Jinyiwei, and he will know when he pretends to leave the camp.

Zhou Xianchuan knelt down, cupped his hands and said, "The guilty minister Zhou Xianchuan sees the emperor."

Tu Yuanyi didn't shout for Pingshen, but rode forward, looked at Zhou Xianchuan, and said with a sneer, "Are you my servant or my good fifth brother's servant?"

Zhou Xianchuan said: "The guilty minister has nothing to say. Please let the sage see that the guilty minister has made little contribution in the past, and spare the guilty minister's wife and children."

As he spoke, he drew out his sword and wiped it on his neck. Tu Yuanyi swung out the scabbard of his long sword and quickly hit him in the hand.

Zhou Xianchuan saw the situation with his own eyes, there are many saints, but now he has few people, and the saint himself is very strong in martial arts, and he is proficient in bow and horse. As soon as an expert makes a move, he will know whether there is a chance. He has no chance of winning now.
