Chapter Eighty-Third-The Queen's daughter can't help but be restrained by her actions, and pay attention to Chasa at every possible risk

The incident in Xiangcheng spread to all cities in the Northeast. Prince Nachen remonstrated and issued an edict to Hu Qiang Lejin King Capital, asking the Hu and Qiang armies to lead the crowd to kill the rebels.Among them, the Jiangdong army asked to go north to pacify the chaos, but was immediately rejected.The messenger was delayed for a few days, and Beijing had heard that the prefects of Cao and Hua prefectures had led the people to surrender to the rebels. Immediately, they heard an edict to depose the two officials.

Three days later, Hu Qiang's wolf lord, He Xuyu, was trusted. He immediately led the Hu and Qiang troops to cross the river at night and fought fiercely for five days. They wiped out more than [-] rebels and captured more than [-] Yiwei officers who surrendered.

Due to the shortage of troops during the war, the imperial court ordered the [-] surrendered troops to temporarily station in the city defense and wait for the city.He also wrote a speech in recognition of Hu Qiang's righteous deeds, and donated more than [-] gold coins to the capital of Lejin King.

Contrary to their previous attitude of watching the fire from the other side, the Hu-man coalition forces tore up the peace agreement when the civil strife subsided, and led a surprise attack at the water-dividing pass in the west, and continued to advance.

He Xuyi asked his troops to return to the capital to recuperate on the grounds that the soldiers were exhausted and injured. The prince combined the opinions of all the people and had to send the red-armored guards who had rested in the suburbs of Beijing to go north again.The prime minister's son-in-law Tang Lan led [-] troops to Huangling Pass to meet the enemy.

The hearts of the people in the imperial capital are in turmoil, and the government and the public are not at ease.

Jiang Hua asked Qin Tianjian to move the capital to Fenying because of the shift of the emperor's star in the night and the relocation of the palace. The Fenying palace, which had been in preparation for more than two years, had been completed.

The prince wanted to disturb the people with this move, so he didn't allow it.The prime minister suggested that the emperor could temporarily change his residence to recuperate, so as to benefit from the slow recovery of his illness.The crown prince told the prime minister to ask the emperor to send him to the Fenying Palace, and the imperial concubine to accompany her attendants. The government affairs of the court are still in the imperial capital, and they should not be moved rashly.

In Jianzhang Palace, the imperial concubine summoned Princess Minyu to enter the palace to discuss matters in the afternoon.

When the time was approaching, He Xujun strode in, walked with one hand and made a salute to the people in the hall, and said lightly: "Your Majesty."

Concubine Ni Guiben was talking with Monk Yuming in the room, but she didn't turn her away when she saw this, she led him to sit behind the screen, and at the same time ordered Huxue to sit on the chair opposite.

"The princess is invited to come here today to talk about the transfer of Your Majesty to the Fenying Palace as mentioned in the court meeting," Ni Guifei said gently, "I must have already talked to the princess about it? According to the itinerary, all the harem is required. The crowd went together, I don't know what the princess thinks about this?"

He has already sent someone to notify him, but he still insists on making this hypocritical inquiry, He Xuyu believes that after staying here for such a long time, he still doesn't know what is the reason for these extra trips in the swallow ceremony.

"Naturally, I will let your mother arrange it." He Xuyun endured his disgust and said calmly, "May I ask when we will leave?"

"Estimated in two days."

He Xujun said: "Before I leave, can my lady allow me to go out of the palace and go to the Banjing Post House to pack some luggage? I'm afraid I still have something to say to the brothers in the clan who escorted me here."

"Naturally," Ni Guifei said, "Princess has a noble status, so I will inform you when the time comes, and I will send the guards in the palace to escort her out of the palace. Although Beijing is safer than other cities, you still have to be careful outside the palace."

Aren't the people who should be most vigilant are in front of the palace?He Xuyun slandered in his heart, but responded with a smile on his face.

Concubine Ni has been observing the words and expressions in the palace for many years, and she would not fail to notice the impatience on the woman's expression, so she would exchange a few casual greetings and ask her to go back to her room to rest.

Huxue returned to his palace, and according to his custom, all the maids and eunuchs were kept out.

According to Qiu Rixiang's instructions, she did not dare to show off her martial arts in the palace, and her sword and knives were all locked in a deep cabinet.

The woman clapped her palms on the open space in the hall, rested for a while, picked up the tea on the table and drank it down.

With sharp ears and eyes, he suddenly heard footsteps approaching outside the hall, so he raised his voice and shouted: "Who?"

The maid's timid voice came: "...Princess, Zen Master Yuming is seeking to see you outside."

Huxun put down his teacup, got up and opened the door.

The little maid stood by the door with her bow and eyebrows lowered, and the monk standing behind her was pale, neither humble nor overbearing.

Huxun said to the maid, "You go down first."

The maid famously retreated in a hurry, and Hexu pursed his lips and said: "The Zen master will talk about it if he has something to do."

Yuming clasped his palms together and saluted, begging for a detailed introduction.He Xuyun speculated that he had a relationship with the enemy when he saw him before, and guessed that the monk would not be able to do anything, so he opened the door and invited him in.

"Amitabha," Yuming said, "the poor monk came to ask the princess for help."

"Tell me." Huxun looked at him.

I saw Yuming took out something from his wide sleeve and said to him, "This is the lotus paper talisman for prolonging life and TOEFL, please ask the princess to pass it on to the nobleman."

He Xujun took it, and looked at it carefully. It was a lotus statue folded by Huang Xuan, like something folded by a child. He couldn't figure out the purpose for a while: "...Which nobleman?"

"The place where the west of the alley falls is right at Tianshu."

He Xujun knew that what he was implying was the Banjing Post House where he met Qiu Ri last time, although he was suspicious, he still said: "Understood, go back to the hall at night, and it will be delivered."

Yuming thanked him again, and He Xuyun didn't stick to these formalities, seeing that he was fine, he didn't say much, and told him to go back.

After he left, he held the lotus paper talisman in his room and looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see why.

At nightfall, a team of palace guards escorted Huxhu out of the palace.She ordered the guards to stay outside the post house, knocked on the door and entered the inner room alone, and saw that the man hadn't rested yet, and was sitting alone behind the table reading the scroll.

"Chasa," He Xuyun said directly, "The emperor wants to move the palace into the Fenying Palace, and the imperial concubine ordered me to accompany him."

Zong Zhengxi also got the letter in advance, and at this moment he said calmly: "The safest place right now is around the emperor, the princess can rest assured of her own safety, as long as she pays attention to the movements of the imperial concubine."

He Xuyun said: "This trip, how does Chasa plan to arrange himself?"

"Imperial officials of the imperial court are still occupying the imperial capital, and I cannot leave the capital for the time being," Zongzheng Xi said, "these Hu brothers who came from the post house followed the princess to Fenying, so there is good care on the way. "

He Xujun hesitated and said, "I heard that my father has quelled the civil unrest in Yanbei?"

Zongzheng Xi said: "That's right, Hulan and the barbarian army are sending troops at the right time, and the imperial capital has no time to take care of it, and other things are also easy to act."

"Don't you want to take advantage of this time of battle to add fire to Yan's army and kill them by surprise?"

"Not good," Zongzheng Xi said, "Rushing troops now is still a warning, and the princess is still being held hostage by the inner court. You must wait until a single blow is sure to win before you can take any action."

"...Okay, since Chasa has been in contact with his father, I won't ask any more questions." He Xuyun lowered his eyes, then passed the paper lotus in his pocket, and said, "Today's Mr. Zen Master Ming came to look for me and asked me to pass this paper talisman to Chasa."

Zong Zhengxi's expression moved slightly, and then he carefully observed the paper lotus in the palm of his hand for a while, then stretched out his hand and dismantled the lotus shape, turning it into a square yellow Xuan.

Huxun looked up, but still couldn't find out why.

Zong Zhengxi pulled off the lampshade on the table, raised his hand to place the paper under the light, the candlelight seeped through, and the handwriting really appeared on the note.

Huxun was about to bow down to look at it, but the man had already started to read:

"The emperor's order is not long, and the noble concubine gave up."

"... High concubine... give up," He Xuyun lowered his eyes and asked, "What does this mean?"

"Ni Conghua must have communicated with his brother," Zong Zhengxi immediately pushed the Huang Xuan into the candle wick, and the black smoke burned, and he threw it on the stone ground. "In the past, she tried to find medicine and seek medical treatment to save the emperor." Fate, now I think she is already discouraged and ready to let go."

"When I went back to her hall, I saw her chanting scriptures with the Zen master, praying and repenting like the man in the Buddha statue, and I never thought that this harmful method was behind the scenes," said Huxun, "it seems that the Buddhist theory in Yandi Attracting people to be good is just an empty shell to deceive people.”

"The words of gods and Buddhas are meant to comfort those who do evil. Everyone in the world is guilty. Those who sincerely repent will take actions to save them. Only those who are cowardly and blind can deceive themselves with Buddhist things," the man said solemnly, "What's more The merciful are self-merciful, and the strong are self-reliant, so why should gods and Buddhas intervene, taking up the name of meritorious deeds.”

He Xujun nodded, and said again: "Then why did the monk deliver the letter?"

The man lowered his eyes, remained silent for a moment, and said, "...I don't know."

I don't know?

He Xuyun raised his eyebrows, and turned to say: "He is a monk, and he still pays attention to these things... No matter how you look at it, he has ulterior motives."

"I never ordered this matter," Zong Zhengxi frowned gradually, rarely encountering this unsolved problem, "What did he say to the princess?"

"I didn't ask anything specifically..." He Xuyun recalled, "He ordered me to hand it over to the nobleman. I asked who it was, and he replied that it was at the foot of the west alley, which is right at the Tianshu." Doesn't it mean the post in the west alley? Museum? I thought Chasa was rescued by him earlier, so I had some kind of friendship with him."

Zong Zhengxi was chewing on the words, a light flashed across his eyes, and he asked He Xuyun, "Princess is in the inner palace, did you hear who suggested that the emperor move west to Fenying to recuperate from his illness?"

Huxun had a lot of free time in the palace, so he didn't dare to miss this important government affairs easily, so he replied immediately: "I have inquired about this, and it was suggested by the chief servant named 'Jiang Hua', but he said that the capital will be moved. , and after further discussion, the emperor was decided to move to the palace temporarily."

"Then it makes sense," Zong Zhengxi grasped the ins and outs, his eyes darkened, and he said in a low voice after a long time, "What exactly is Yu Ming thinking?"

The man can be sure that Yuming's move is a secret reminder, but he doesn't know the purpose of his help several times.For the first time, it can be said that the monks uphold the kindness to help the dangerous people, but now they clearly intend to support them, and they know what he secretly wants to do.

He Xuyun said: "Should we secretly invite that Zen master out another day, like last time?"

"He may not be able to tell the truth, but it is also possible," Zong Zhengxi couldn't hold back his doubts. After all, it involves important matters, and if the inquiry is unclear, it will easily lead to disaster. "It's just that I have to trouble the princess to come forward."

"It doesn't matter," He Xuyun replied casually, "It's nothing more than going to find the prince before leaving. It's him and not me who are trying to do something."

Zong Zhengxi remained silent on the seat, and He Xuyun saw him thinking about his affairs, so he didn't bother him here, and said: "If there is nothing else, I'll go back and pack my things."

"Princess take care."

The man's voice has always been indistinguishable from emotion, but Huxun has known him for a while, and he has a rough idea of ​​his nature.Zong Zhengxi is not good at lying, so the same polite words would seem disgusting to the people she met in Yan Palace, but if it was in the words of men, she would believe the truth.

Huxun looked back at him and nodded slightly.

"The few Hu people who came along the way are all trusted by the clan, and Chasa left two by his side to take care of them."

Sighing slightly in her heart, this imperial capital is obviously a familiar hometown, but she dare not show her face and act rashly. After all these days, being locked within the walls of this sparsely populated museum, the man should be more restrained than her.

Zong Zhengxi acquiesced to her wish, and watched He Xuyun leave alone.

He pondered for a moment in the original place, then dipped his pen in the ink, and wrote the word "Hui" on the paper.

The man hesitated, staring at the word for a long time without moving.In the end, his palm froze and he slapped the inkstone with a "snap".

The swivel chair went to the window, and with a whistle, a black shadow flew in from the outside.He tied the paper to it, and then let it fly outside without making a sound.
