Jiaohua Growth Guide [Rebirth]

On August [-]th, the Mid-Autumn Festival, the King of Nan'an set up a hundred banquets in the palace to entertain the meritorious officials and their families. Both Zhao and Lu were invited.

Even Gu Ci, she knew that when Zhao's family went to the imperial city, nine out of ten they would be taken hostage in the palace.Although the imperial decree was only received on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the eunuch who came to deliver the decree had already brought the carriage to pick him up because he was worried that the whole Zhao family would abscond in secret, but Le Jia sent the news three days ago, so that Zhao Yaotang could go to the court as soon as possible. prepare for.

However, the whole Zhao family was unwilling to leave.

"Princess, you don't need to say too much. The emperor and the concubine's kindness in the past, the old man and the Zhao family will not be able to repay it. If I, the Zhao family, do not go today, I will definitely scare the snake and spoil the big event tonight."

After a long time of persuasion to no avail, the little girl had no choice but to follow them, "Anping thanked everyone in the house here first, and Anping will thank you again when he returns from victory. Please also cherish everyone in the house."

"Princess is welcome."

After saying goodbye, the old lady of the Zhao Mansion led everyone in the Zhao Mansion into the carriage, and when the courtyard became quiet, the little girl suddenly thought of something, "Where's sister?"

Zhao Yaotang seemed to have just realized it, looked around, and grabbed the little girl who was about to chase out, "Princess, what are you doing?"

"Sister must have entered the palace with the old lady."

"It's full of traitors outside, the princess will undoubtedly blow her identity if she catches up with her." Zhao Yaotang now also understands the little girl's feelings for Gu Ci, fearing that she would run out on impulse, so he pulled her with extra strength, "I once fought with Gu Ci for three years. In terms of foresight and foresight, although she is not as good as the counselors in the camp, she is not a reckless and impulsive person. Now..."

"General, the palace is not like the battlefield. The battlefield is full of sharp swords and spears, and there are bloody scars. The palace is full of hidden arrows that cannot be guarded against. The elder sister and mother concubine are not the people who should be in this battlefield. Their bravery and fearlessness, If you want to dedicate it, you should dedicate it to the battlefield in the northwest just like the general.”

"So, this is the reason why the princess doesn't want to go back to Beijing?" Zhao Yaotang lost his strength in holding her hand, "but right now, can the princess bring people back under the watchful eye of Director Wang?"

The little girl withdrew her stepping foot and clenched her hands, "Zhao Yaotang, you already knew that she would follow her into the palace, didn't you?"

"I don't know. But two days ago, Gu Ci asked me about some matters in the palace, and I didn't think much about it at the time." Zhao Yaotang said truthfully.

good very good.Sister Gu, you'd better pray that you're okay, otherwise, this princess will never forgive you.

The little girl didn't speak, she took a deep breath with her eyes downcast, and said, "Did the general find the wizard in the southwest?"

Empress Kangjin was poisoned by Gu poison that day. The former fiefdom of King Nan'an was located in the southwest, where there were many swamps and miasma, and the insects, snakes, rats and ants nourished were extremely poisonous. She suddenly fell ill, and the imperial doctors were helpless. In the end, the elderly Zhang Yuansan of the imperial hospital turned over the ancient medical books and diagnosed that she had been poisoned by Gu poison from the Southwest.

However, the Gu poison in the Southwest is varied. There are hundreds of kinds of poisonous insects that make Gu, and the corresponding antidote must correspond to the poisonous insects one by one. and died.

"It's already outside the city, and the princess will have to see it with her own eyes."

"No need." The little girl shook her head, "It is rumored that the most poisonous thing in the Southwest is the golden silkworm Gu. I would like to see that traitor also taste the power of this poison."

Zhao Yaotang pursed his lips, "That rebel is cautious, all food is handled by caring people around him, I'm afraid it will be difficult..."

"The general is not in a hurry. Today's important task is to rescue the empress first."

"Princess, if you act today, you will definitely startle the snake. If you act on the 25th, I'm afraid it will be..."

"Today's secret battle will be an open battle in the future. As long as the mother and concubine are rescued today, it doesn't matter to startle the snake." The little girl sat down beside her, took a sip of tea, and continued: "The Lu family 10 taels of silver, Gong Yong swallowed 9 taels, he must not have such courage by himself, think about it, general, if it were you, what would the Lu family do with the 9 taels?"

"The princess means that someone conspired with Gong Yong to embezzle it?" Zhao Yaotang frowned, thought about the candidate in his mind, and finally looked surprised: "Now that the people's hearts are not stable, why is he still like this... Isn't this Does it arouse public outrage?"

As soon as the Lu family's disaster relief fund was handed over, Lu Ming paid attention to it. Even if Gong Yong was defeated, he would still remember that in his previous life, he was the one who joined forces with the faint king to kill him. The 10 taels, Even if Gong Yong didn't take it for himself, he would have someone rob him and send him to his house, so that he couldn't argue with anything and had to die.

So Gong Yong's every move is under Lu Ming's control, and he has already sent news to the little girls and the others.

"The general is thinking about it." The little girl sneered, "When we arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, when the disaster relief funds were opened and the stones under the silver were seen, what did the general think Gong Yong would say? He would say that Brother Lu was teasing the king and the people, and he was reluctant to donate money. Replace it with a stone..."

"Young master Lu donated 10 taels of silver and dozens of rice stores. Isn't that enough? Didn't you specially invite the Lu family today..." Zhao Yaotang suddenly looked at the little girl as if thinking of something, "So the princess Let me majestically press Gong Yong into the palace to face the saint today?"

The little girl nodded, "From the Grand Canal to Jiangnan, if you travel day and night, it will only take ten days. Judging from the fact that the traitor invited the Lu family to a banquet today, the batch of money has undoubtedly arrived in Jiangnan. If there are no accidents, the climax of the banquet will be tonight." From time to time, he will definitely receive a secret letter from Gong Yong, revealing the deception of the Lu family. Therefore, the general will not openly press Gong Yong to bring the 9 taels of silver into the palace to face the saint tonight. More bad luck than good luck."

Once Lu Ming was convicted of using stones instead of silver to tease the king, it would be a felony that would implicate the entire family.Once the Lu family dies, the wealth of the Lu family will naturally be confiscated from the state treasury.Two birds with one stone is really a clever plan.

Zhao Yaotang listened to the little girl's narration of the mystery, and made up his mind to follow the future queen, "Princess, I'm stupid."

"Great opinions are not counted. The wise kings in history have their own talents, but the weak kings are always similar. I just read more history books than the general, and I use history to judge people." The little girl raised her hand and rubbed a little. Painful temples, calmed down and continued: "The general's return to Beijing today is bound to be exposed. In front of all the officials, the general bluntly said that he had received the news that my mother is still alive. You are worried that someone with a heart is plotting to rebel and spread rumors. I came back to Beijing to protect the lord. When the time comes, the traitor will be caught off guard, and if he still wants to secure the throne, he will not dare to do anything to the general in a short time."

"All the ministers listen to the princess."

At night, in the Imperial Palace and Shangyang Palace, the banquet and the singing and dancing are in full swing. The king of Nan'an and all the officials toasted and drank together.

Gu Ci accompanied Mrs. Zhao to sit on the side of the female relatives, watching all directions and listening to all directions. When the commotion started in front, she slipped away quietly, found a secret place, and took off the maid of the Zhao residence who was wearing outside. Clothes, which are light green ordinary court ladies' clothes, and then quickly headed towards Yiqing Palace where Concubine Lan Gui lived now according to the palace map written in her mind.

The Yiqing Palace was surrounded by strict guards, Gu Ci did not dare to approach, hid behind a stone, stood aside and waited for a while, and was about to pick up a stone and beat it out to distract the attention of the four guards at the gate, when a group of men in black came Jump into the palace first.

"who?"

Gu Ci took the opportunity to throw the few stones he picked up in his hands in various directions. When the guards were coming this way, she happened to see an eunuch coming towards this side with two maids carrying things, so she quickly dodged Going to the side, he picked up another small stone and hit the maid in the back.

"oops……"

"what happened?"

"Elder-in-law, someone threw a stone at me just now."

The leading eunuch looked around and frowned impatiently, "You have a lot of things to do, hurry up, these things His Majesty bestowed on the nobles, it's too late, and the fragrant pig will lose its smell when it's cold. "

The palace maid tremblingly agreed, but still looked around uneasy. Gu Ci took advantage of her two steps behind and came to a place of flowers, quickly stepped out, slapped her on the back of the neck, and then single-handed He grabbed the tray in her hand and dragged her into the grass. The maid in front heard the movement vaguely, and when she turned her head back, she happened to see her coming out from behind, "A-Lian?"

Gu Ci hurriedly lowered his head, walked up after him, and said under his breath, "Let's go."

The maid felt a little puzzled, and glanced at her again, but seeing the eunuch in front of her urging her, she hurriedly followed her.

Gu Ci followed the people all the way to the gate of the palace. At this time, there were two guards standing at the gate. Probably this little eunuch was an old man who came and went to Yiqing Palace.

After entering the palace, Gu Ci didn't dare to look around, he lowered his head all the way and followed the little eunuch into the inside.

"Did the nobleman fall asleep? The emperor sent our family to deliver some dishes to the nobleman."

"Not yet, I'm teasing the little prince. Eunuch, please follow me."

After passing through two more doors, Gu Ci's hands trembled a little. Hearing the eunuch in front of him salute, he slightly raised his head and looked over. She was shaking her head, but she was clearly not teasing the baby in the cradle above her right.

"Your Excellency?" The little eunuch called again cautiously after a long time without hearing anyone respond.

"Take the things back." The woman raised her eyes slightly, and replied in a cold tone: "Go back and tell him, if he has the ability, he will send it over in person. Since I'm shameless, why bother trying to curry favor with me like this... "

"Your Majesty misunderstood His Majesty..."

"Tell you to talk too much?"

"Yes, yes, what the nobleman said is true, it's the servant who is talking too much." The little eunuch pretended to slap himself twice, and then laughed: "The servant will go and tell His Majesty that His Majesty will definitely come to see you later. "

The woman snorted softly, but didn't respond.

The little eunuch bowed and bowed to say goodbye, and Gu Ci followed suit. When he left, he looked left and right, and finally when he was going out, he deliberately fell to the ground, everything in his hand fell to the ground, and there was a bang sound. The sleeping baby in the cradle also cried.

It was too late, but soon, Gu Ci quickly ran to the woman's feet, knelt down and hugged her feet, seemingly admitting his mistake, but in fact he tapped her calf quietly, "Damn it, slave, damn it!" , please punish me.”

The woman was taken aback for a moment, then kicked her away, got up and picked up the crying baby in the cradle, and scolded Gu Ci sharply: "You bloody bitch, you scared the prince, you can afford to offend him? Someone, drag this lowly maid down and lock her into the backyard first."

"Your Excellency, calm down, nobleman, calm down." The little eunuch, the maid, was also startled by the sudden change, and quickly knelt down.

"It's all useless, get out of here."

The little eunuch glanced at Gu Ci who was still lying on the ground, paused, got up and retreated.

As soon as they withdrew, the maid who was serving outside hurried in and dragged Gu Ci up on the ground.

The little prince couldn't coax him well, and kept crying. The woman seemed to be even more angry, and gave the child to the nanny, and kicked Gu Ci again, "This lowly maid must want to murder the emperor's heir, all of you Go out first, I will teach her a lesson."

Several court ladies looked at each other without making a sound.

"What? I don't even have the freedom to teach a court lady a lesson?"

"The slaves dare not."

"Then you don't get out yet."

Several palace maids looked at each other again, then at Gu Ci who was still lying on the ground, and then they all agreed, "Yes."

As soon as the man retreated, the woman smashed the things in the house, cursed a few words, helped Gu Ci up, and said in a low voice, "Who are you?"

"Anping..." Gu Ci finally saw the woman in front of him clearly. Looking at the familiar eyebrows, she was dazed for a moment. This feeling is very strange, as if seeing the little girl more than ten years later, she came to her senses , then hurriedly lowered his head: "Your servant knows your mistake, your servant knows your mistake, please forgive me, my lord."

Upon hearing those two words, Lan Guiren's lips trembled, and it took a while to say a complete sentence, "Anping, is she okay?"

"She's fine." Gu Ci pretended to shout twice, "I'm just worried about the safety of you and the emperor, and I specially ordered us to rescue you today."

"You maidservant, I'll let you call..." Concubine Lan Gui wiped away her tears and shook her head, "Bring Your Majesty back safely. If I don't leave, I want to watch the traitor die with my own eyes."

The two were talking, and there was another commotion outside, saying that there was an assassin. Taking advantage of the gap between the commotion outside, the two of them stopped pretending, "Your concubine, keep the green hills here, so I'm not afraid that there will be no firewood. I will do things indiscriminately before today." One group, you follow us out of the palace first."

"Now that traitor trusts me a little bit. If I stay in this palace, I can still help spread the news. If I leave today, all my forbearance before will be in vain. You go back and tell Anping, let her not worry Her concubine mother, her concubine mother is very good."

"The imperial concubine..."

"You don't need to say too much, while the chaos outside, you hurry up and let the people outside go away." Concubine Lan Gui took another dagger from the table, "If Zhao Yaotang returns to Beijing, let her do it quickly, That rebel has an old army in the southwest, I don't know how many troops there are, but now there are only [-] troops guarding the imperial city."

"The imperial concubine..."

"Listen to me carefully." Concubine Lan Gui glanced outside, "This traitor has a treacherous and unpredictable mind. If he can't let him kill with one move, he will definitely bring endless troubles. Although it has been reported that Zhao Yaotang led the army back to the capital He has never dared to attack the Zhao family because he does not have enough soldiers and horses, and he is afraid of angering Zhao Yaotang. If I am not mistaken, the hundred-day feast of the wicked will be the time when his old southwestern department returns to the capital. I am ready to catch all of you."

The commotion outside became more and more violent, and a man in black rushed in, Gu Ci hurriedly persuaded Concubine Lan Gui to follow.

Concubine Lan Gui pushed Gu Ci out, and then stuck the dagger on her shoulder.

"The imperial concubine..."

"Hurry up and go." Concubine Lan Gui pushed them out of the window, and then opened the door while holding her bleeding shoulder, "Someone is here, there is an assassin..."

"Your Majesty..."

It must be impossible to take people away now, so Gu Ci quickly followed the man in black and jumped out. As soon as the man in black whistled, everyone withdrew, and Gu Ci also withdrew.

At the same time, Shangyang Palace was also in chaos. King Nan'an, who was sitting on a high seat, looked at Zhao Yaotang who was brought in by the palace servants, narrowed his cold and narrow eyes, and only looked at Gong who was kneeling beside him for a long time. Yong, "Is what Zhao Aiqing said true?"

"Your majesty, I have been wronged, I really have been wronged..."

"You're wronged..." Lu Ming sneered, knelt down, and said with a choked voice, "In today's disaster, the people are suffering, and the grassroots donated 10 taels of silver. A letter, falsely accusing the grassroots of giving stones to silver, if it wasn't for... if General Zhao hadn't come in time, the emperor would have thrown the grassroots' family into the sky prison today... Mr. Gong said he was wronged, so the grassroots were not wronged? "

As soon as Lu Ming opened his mouth, Gong Yong felt even more guilty, and went to see the high-ranking person for help. Corruption is also a serious crime.

The King of Nan'an is also suffering from a headache now. He never expected that Lu Ming and Zhao Yaotang would hook up in private, so he read the urgent letter from Gong Yong in front of all civil and military officials, thinking that he could take advantage of the situation to take down the Lu family. However, who would have thought that Zhao Yaotang would openly enter the palace to have an audience with him, and even oppressed Gong Yong openly.

Gong Yong didn't see the king of Nan'an making a sound, so he could only look at Lu Ming, "Master Lu, I was framed by someone, I really didn't greed the money, and I don't know where the remaining 9 taels will come from." In this official's family, there must be someone who deliberately framed this official, and by the way provoked the relationship between our two families, this kind of thought is really..."

"Lord Gong." Zhao Yaotang interrupted him in a cold voice, "You mean that this general deliberately framed you? This general heard that the late emperor was still alive, and guessed that there were rebels in Beijing, so he did not wait for His Majesty to summon you. On the way back to Beijing. As a result, I heard about the Jiangnan riots on the way, and sent troops to investigate, but the general found something first. Mr. Gong, who was supposed to go to the south of the Yangtze River for disaster relief, was openly drinking and having fun with prostitutes in his private house. The private house even hid 9 taels of silver. It is said that this is someone who has a heart to frame you, but the method of this frame is too seamless."

Gong Yong couldn't argue with his words, "Your Majesty, I have been wronged..."

Useless waste.

Zhao Yaotang spoke with confidence, but because of Gong Yong's serious crime, they lost the opportunity. He couldn't even reprimand the woman for returning to the capital privately, so he could only suffer the loss of being dumb.

"Come here, press the servant of the household department into Dali Temple, and thoroughly investigate the disaster relief in the south of the Yangtze River."

Lu Ming lowered his head, knelt on the ground, and pretended to wipe away his tears with his hands, "Thank you Your Majesty for giving the grass people a clean slate, otherwise my Lu family would have died unjustly in Jiuquan today."

These words really slapped his face, the king of Nan'an didn't look good, but he could only do so, he reprimanded Gong Yong a few more times, and was about to investigate Zhao Yaotang's private return to Beijing, when a palace official hurriedly reported, "Your Majesty, don't you?" Well, assassins entered Yiqing Palace, and Mrs. Yigui was injured..."

With these words, everyone in the audience was shocked, King Nan'an even stood up from his seat, and told Le Jia, who had attacked him, "I'll go and see, Le Jia, entertain all the officials for me."

Le Jia, who was sitting next to Qin Fengjun, bowed his head in response, and looked at Qin Fengjun in a pretense of incomprehension, "Father?"

Qin Fengjun glanced at her, clenched his fingers under the wide sleeves, and looked at Zhao Yaotang below, with a sullen expression on his face. He is even more confused now. Zhao Yaotang never greeted him about these things today, and he has been thinking about them until now. Not sure what went wrong.

As soon as King Nan'an left, the ministers below looked at each other three or five times, and then they all bid farewell.

The mid-autumn feast ended just like that, and now there was chaos in the palace, Le Jia knew that the King of Nan'an was planning to detain the people of the Zhao House, and taking advantage of King Nan'an's absence, she directly sent the people of the Zhao House and the Lu House out of the palace.

It wasn't until the palace people came to tell everyone that they were out of the palace that Ke Jia breathed a sigh of relief.

After arriving outside the palace, the members of the Zhao family and the Lu family took a breath of fresh air. Both families were ready to be detained, but they didn't want to be a false alarm.

"Thank you General for saving your life today."

Zhao Yaotang smiled, "Young Master Lu already knew that such an event would happen, so why are you being polite to me?"

Lu Ming was noncommittal, "I've heard that my righteous sister is so powerful, but I can't believe it. When I saw her today, she really is... amazing."

"I've always known this." Zhao Yaotang glanced at the moon in the sky, and then got on his horse again, "Today our two families are considered life-and-death friends, and we will meet again in the future."

"Please, general." Lu Ming made her first gesture, watched them go, and then took Wen Siyi, who was dressed as a servant, into the sedan chair, "Today is lucky, otherwise we may be in danger today. Back and forth."

"That's just right, that's your Lu family." Wen Siyi didn't care.

"You..." Lu Ming didn't know what to do with her, "I'm afraid your father and brother will hate me to death."

"If you marry me, they won't hate you anymore. Besides, if they really want to hate you, my sister-in-law will lead the brothers in the village to stare at that Gong.? There is no chance to rob that white flower." Yinzi, my sister-in-law said it's not fun..."

It's a matter of life and death, but it's fun?

"Your family members are really..." Wonderful.

Wen Siyi looked at him with a smile, "I will belong to your Lu family in the future."

"Are you not ashamed as a girl?"

"Jiaojiao said, shameless or something, between husband and wife is not important, I want to learn from her, in short, if you don't marry me, you don't want to marry someone else, if you fancy other girls, I will propose marriage for you, her If she doesn't agree, I will kill her with my own hands. If she agrees, I will let my sister-in-law and the people from the village kill her whole family."

Lu Ming: "..."
