Chapter 774: Exile
Zhou Jing ascended the throne on the fourth day of Emperor Taichang's death. Special period, special treatment. Zhou Jing's enthronement ceremony is simple.
Zhou Jing, who became the emperor, issued the first holy decree to canonize Yan Wushuang as the Rui King, and the second holy decree was to make Yan Wushuang the first assistant.
Second Master Lu was a little surprised when he heard the news: "I thought Yan Wushuang would be the regent, but I didn't expect it to be the first assistant." I don't know what kind of medicine Yan Wushuang sells in the gourd?" "But even if he is the prime minister, it is a little worse than the regent."
Old Man Lu frowned and said, "It is impossible for Yan Wushuang to succumb to the position of prime minister. He did it for another purpose!"
Second Master Lu said: "Yan Wushuang has killed a lot of people in the past two days. Although he said that the people killed were all involved in the Tongcheng Incident, many of them were obviously innocent. Yan Wushuang took advantage of the Tongcheng incident to eradicate dissidents. "In the past two days, Yan Wushuang has destroyed more than ten people and killed hundreds of people. It made the whole capital panic.
Old Man Lu said, "Isn't this normal?" "No matter who is in power, the first thing to do is to eradicate dissidents.
Second Master Lu said: "Dad, although Yan Wushuang is very resourceful and has means, he acts in an extreme way. "Yan Wushuang has no bottom line, and it is very insecure to do things under such hands.
Old Man Lu said: "Let it be! Don't worry about the rest, you shouldn't worry about it." Just now they are in Shudi, and our family will be fine. ”
Second Master Lu didn't say anything more.
Back in the backyard, Second Mrs. Lu quietly said to Second Master Lu, "Xiu'er has sent a letter." After speaking, he escaped from his sleeve and handed it to Second Master Lu.
It is also now that the imperial court has canonized Yunqing as the king, it can be regarded as a clear road, and Yunqing is no longer a chaotic minister and thief. Therefore, the northwest began to have contacts with the surrounding states and counties, and of course, the inventory was still very strict.
Second Master Lu hurriedly took the letter, and opened it at a glance. After reading it, Second Master Lu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good to arrive in Yucheng safely." "In fact, Second Master Lu took a big risk by sending his grandson Lu Han to the northwest. After all, Lu Han is Lu Gang's son, and Lu Gang and Yunqing are enemies. In case the two armies face each other, Yunqing captures Lu Han to threaten Lu Gang, and Lu Gang will have to be at a disadvantage.
Second Mrs. Lu said: "I now understand why Han Jianming wants to take his family to the northwest. "On that day, Han Jianming abandoned his family business, gave up the title of Grandpa Guo, and took his family trot to the northwest to defect to Yuxi, which outsiders couldn't understand. But looking at the current situation in the capital, Second Lady Lu felt that Han Jianming was too prescient. Now there are dead people everywhere in the capital, and yesterday they were fine, but today they were wiped out. It makes people worry all day long, afraid that the butcher knife will fall on their heads in a blink of an eye.
Thinking of some of the situations in the northwest that Lu Xiu said in the letter, Second Master Lu was rarely silent. The northwest is in ruins, and the chaos in the capital does not know when it will end. Speaking of which, he also admired Han Jianming. can give up the family title and take the family to the northwest to start over. This kind of courage is not something that everyone has.
Second Lady Lu gently pushed Second Master Lu down and said, "You go to Gang'er and ask him not to conflict with Yunqing for Han'er's sake." The orders of the imperial court can be passed on the surface, don't take them too seriously. "Second Mrs. Lu said these words for her grandson. Now Yunqing and Han Yuxi don't have much about Lu Han, but if Lu Gang offends the two too hard, then there is no guarantee.
Second Master Lu shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that Yan Wushuang will transfer Gang'er back to Beijing and send his henchmen to Shudi." ”
Second Mrs. Lu said: "That Yan Wushuang kills people without blinking, if Gang'er is transferred back, then there will definitely be no good intentions." ”
Second Master Lu said: "If Yan Wushuang gives an order, Gang'er will definitely come back." "The Lu family's family is all in the capital, and it is impossible for Lu Gang not to come back after he got the order.
Second Mrs. Lu said: "Send a letter to Gang'er, don't go back to the capital no matter what." "When I return to the capital, I will be unable to do a lot of things.
Yan Wushuang issued a reward order, as long as he helped catch Yuchen and Zhou Yan, he could get a thousand taels of gold, and he would be promoted to two levels. If there is no official, it can be awarded the seven-rank official. Those who provide important clues will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver. In this situation, Yuchen's situation is very difficult. However, because the hiding place was well prepared for food and clothing, it was safe to pass a few days. But this man is unlucky, and he can stuff his teeth when he drinks water.
I was hiding well, but a thief came in the middle of the night. Although he was spotted in time, the thief was familiar with the terrain and escaped.
After the thief escaped, he immediately went to the government to report it. It's also that he doesn't know the identity of Yuchen and his party, otherwise he should go to Yanwang's Mansion to tell the truth.
Yuchen was caught in the process of following the guards to transfer. Yuchen was disguised, but the people around her were not disguised, and her identity was soon revealed.
King Yan did everything possible to find the queen, and the queen was a great beauty, and many people muttered in their hearts that they were afraid that Yan Wushuang had fallen in love with the queen's beauty, so they would spend so much effort to find someone. Therefore, Yin Yi of the Capital Mansion confirmed Yuchen's identity and immediately sent people to Yanwang's Mansion.
Yuchen has been dressed up in disguise. Dressed in gray clothes, his face was a little yellow, and his eyes were full of fear. Whoever looks at this will not believe that she is the queen who is known as the first beauty in the world.
Yuchen, who was sent to Yanwang's Mansion, first took a bath and changed clothes. It's not that Yuchen didn't think about resisting, it's just that she couldn't resist two female guards who were five big and three thick.
Tang Bo and Meng Nian were waiting in the main hall. Soon, the two heard messy footsteps. Yuchen was half-supported and half-escorted into the main hall by two guards.
Yuchen was wearing a hollow light purple light silk mandarin duck brocade crescent dress, and her black hair was scattered behind her. The delicate face, the delicate and silky skin like mutton fat jade, and the willow waist that is full of a hand, there is no place that is not perfect.
Looking at such a jade chen, four words came to Tang Bo's mind: "Red face and troubled water." ”
A poem couldn't help but come to Meng Nian's mind: "There is a beautiful woman in the north, peerless and independent." One look at the city, and then look at the country. "Actually, Meng Nian had seen Yuchen before, but he just glanced at it from a distance at the banquet, and he didn't see it very clearly.
Tang Bo asked expressionlessly, "Empress Han, where is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now?" The child beside Yuchen is not the crown prince, this has been confirmed.
Yuchen glanced at Uncle Tang coldly, his eyes full of hatred. These are the people who killed her husband and brought her into the situation she is in.
Seeing the hatred in Yuchen's eyes, Tang Bo had murderous intentions towards Yuchen. How many ups and downs the prince has experienced, he must not be destroyed by a woman.
Meng Nian looked at Uncle Tang, who had murderous intentions, and said to the two female guards: "Miss Han is tired, you can help her go down to rest!"
Hearing Meng Nian's address to Yuchen, Tang Bo's face turned pale. Han Yuchen is the queen, a married man and has given birth to children. Now calling Han Yuchen Miss Han has to make him think more.
Yuchen's heart was also horrified, but his face was still cold, and people couldn't see anything.
There were only two people left in the main hall, and Tang Bo said coldly: "Meng Nian, what did you mean by calling Queen Han Miss Han just now?"
Meng Nian said: "Uncle Tang, you should know the prince's temperament. He put so much effort into finding Han Yuchen, obviously Han Yuchen was interested. Obviously, his master has taken a fancy to Han Yuchen.
They are all men, and Meng Nian can understand them. Such a stunning beauty that captivates the country and the city will be tempted by any man. The prince is a normal man, and it is normal for him to fall in love with such a beauty.
Uncle Tang's face changed when he heard this, and he said, "You already knew that the prince was interested in the Han family, why didn't you sue me?" Uncle Tang before really didn't think much about it. The main reason is that Yan Wushuang is not a good woman, and Yan Wushuang has also seen Han before, and there is no unusual reaction.
Meng Nian said: "Uncle Tang, what about suing you, can you still stop the prince?" Those who can stop it are no longer in this world.
Uncle Tang was so angry that he said, "Then do you know that you will kill the prince like this." This Han clan, that is a scourge. "The prince is Han Yuchen's enemy who killed her husband, and if you put such a woman by your side, wouldn't your life be in danger at any time.
The corners of Meng Nian's mouth rose and said, "Uncle Tang, you underestimate the prince." "With the ability of the prince of his family, as long as he is willing, he can't handle a woman.
Tang Bo shook his head and said, "No, I can't let this woman stay." "The so-called hero is sad to pass the beauty pass, he doesn't dare to bet on this in case.
Meng Nian said: "Uncle Tang, you also know the master's temperament. If you move Miss Han without his consent, I am afraid that your master-servant relationship with your master for so many years will be over. ”
Tang Bo was not afraid, and said, "I'm doing this for the good of the prince." "Uncle Tang is determined to put Yuchen to death, even if he is disgusted by Yan Wushuang, he will not hesitate.
Meng Nian said: "Uncle Tang, without the consent of the prince, I won't let you hurt Miss Han." "If the prince wants to kill the Han family, even if he feels pity, he will not frown. Now, he definitely can't let Uncle Tang get his wish.
Yan Wushuang heard that Yuchen was arrested in the palace, and his expression did not move. After a while, he found a reason to go back to the palace.
Yanwangfu is the former Kangwangfu, and the garden of Kangwangfu is the best in the capital, and even Jingwangfu can't compare.
Tang Bo saw Yan Wushuang's heart slightly relieved when he saw that his expression was as usual, and the situation was not as strict as he thought. Tang Bo said: "Lord, the queen is real, but the crown prince Zhou Yan is a fake. What we caught was just a stand-in. "The child Yuchen brought with him didn't look like Zhou Yan. So it's very easy to identify.
Yan Wushuang knew the reason as soon as he heard it: "Han's presence with that stand-in should be to divert our attention." "It's so secretive that he hasn't even let his people find it for so many days. However, Yan Wushuang is not in a hurry, as long as he is not out of Beijing, he will definitely be able to find it.
Tang Bo weighed it in his heart and said: "Lord, the Han family is the queen of Emperor Taichang, and this woman can't stay." Stay, you will be in danger, my lord. ”
Yan Wushuang glanced at Uncle Tang and chuckled: "Uncle Tang, what danger can a woman who has no power to restrain a chicken bring to me?" Seeing that Uncle Tang was about to speak, Yan Wushuang shook his head and said, "I have made up my mind, you don't have to." With that, he walked towards the house.
The gloom in Tang Bo's eyes became more and more intense. R1148
