Chapter 298: Hongmen Banquet?
Song An is preparing, not like a big enemy.
It was Wu Zheng, the initiator, who became the shopkeeper at this time.
Song An is clever and sophisticated, and he understands that the young master's move is really a little inconsiderate.
No matter what, Uncle Zheng is also a person who is in charge of the country, and he will be arrested if he says that he will be arrested, once the news spreads, I am afraid that it will cause the anger of countless officials in the village.
If you really want to follow the rule that the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die, even if Wu Zheng knows that it was done by the prison state, he can only knock his teeth out and swallow it in his stomach.
Fortunately, it is a troubled time now, and Wu Zheng is a powerful minister, since the king is not a king, then the minister is not a minister.
Song An made arrangements, just to make things more tactful, at least to minimize the possibility of conflict.
According to his meaning, Uncle Zheng was arrested at the end of the banquet, that is, when he was full of wine and food, and people were most tired.
and everything is arranged.
I don't want to, the prison country is uninvited, and he will come together with Uncle Zheng.
This made all of Song An's arrangements in vain.
He was embarrassed, he couldn't even arrest the prison country together, at least he didn't dare to do it before he got Wu Zheng's authorization.
As soon as Zhu Yujiao arrived, she found that Wu Zheng was not there, which confirmed Uncle Zheng's guess that this was a Hongmen banquet.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yujiao's heart throbbed.
Beating the dog to see the owner, Wu Zheng no longer cares about his feelings at all.
"Song An."
"The minister is here."
"Go and call Wu Zheng for the palace."
"It's ......."
"You also dare to resist the edict of the palace?"
Song An had no choice but to run to Father Wu, because Wu Zheng was listening to his father's teachings at this time.
A person, before doing something big that he does not know right or wrong, will always hesitate or need to seek a kind of spiritual comfort.
Relatives are the best harbor.
Wu Zheng knew that this matter was likely to lead to serious consequences.
But Wu Zheng's temperament can't tolerate a fire in the backyard.
arrested Uncle Zheng and got a confession, Wu Zheng was ready to completely turn his face with Zhu Yujiao.
Although he is as sad in his heart, Wu Zheng knows one thing very well, that is, at any time, anyone, dares to ask for his own life, then he will retaliate with a tooth for a tooth, this is Wu Zheng's bottom line, which cannot be touched.
Wu Zheng knows very well that he has no ability to play scheming and political fighting, and instead of dying in assassination inexplicably, it is better to sweep away all those who stand in the way with thunder, even if he is accused by the world, he will not hesitate.
And now, Wu Zheng hesitated to say that if the confession was conclusive, how far would he go to Zhu Yujiao.
Daddy Wu is very happy now, his son has too little time by his side, and Daddy Wu even thinks that his illness is the trick.
But now that his condition is improving, his only son is by his side, and the responsibilities inherited from the previous generation have not been disappointed, and more importantly, Zhou Simin's belly is getting bigger day by day, which makes Daddy Wu feel like drinking honey.
The only thing that worries Daddy Wu is that Wu Zheng will fight tomorrow, and Wu Xiaomei and Zhou Simin will go north with the imperial court to Yingtianfu.
I don't know when we will be able to meet again, and the sorrow gradually overshadows the joy.
For a while, Daddy Wu's old tears began to fall from his smiling face.
This made Wu Zheng and the others around immediately reminisce.
Wu Xiaomei's eyes turned red instantly, "Dad, let my daughter stay, let me accompany you." ”
Zhou Simin sobbed softly on the side.
Father Wu rubbed his old eyes, seemed to cry and smiled: "Silly child, if Dad is seriously ill this time, you will have to take care of yourself, but fortunately, Zheng'er has sworn that he will protect you well, you shouldn't be here...... Go ahead, Ying Tianfu is where you should be. ”
Wu Zheng's heart was in turmoil for a while, and at this time, Song An came in, bowed down and said, "I've seen the master, the young master, the miss, and the lady." ”
Wu Zheng quickly cleaned up his messy thoughts and asked in a deep voice, "How are things going?" ”
How dare Song An open his mouth in front of Daddy Wu and the others, so he squeaked.
Wu Zheng immediately understood the abnormality, so he bowed to Father Wu and said, "Dad, the child has urgent matters to do, so I will retire first." ”
Exiting the door, Song An hurriedly chased a few steps, approached behind Wu Zheng, and said as he walked: "Young Master, I'm afraid that there will be trouble, His Royal Highness the Prison State accompanied Uncle Zheng to the banquet." ”
Wu Zheng, who was walking, suddenly stopped when he heard this.
Zhu Yujiao came uninvited, indicating that she knew about it, and this conjecture made Wu Zheng panic for a while.
Originally, even if there was speculation, Wu Zheng was still looking forward to a miracle, hoping that it was just Uncle Zheng's doing, and Zhu Yujiao didn't know about it, so that he could deal with Uncle Zheng drastically.
But now, Zhu Yujiao's arrival proves that she is an instigator, at least an insider.
Wu Zhenggang gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Inform Chen Sheng, immediately enter emergency combat readiness, and monitor the guards in the village and the rest of the Ming army." ”
Rao is Song An knew Wu Zheng's thoughts, and he didn't feel frightened at this time.
Tomorrow is the day when Wu Zheng will go out of the village and the imperial court will go north, such a big move at this time?
"Young Master, this is ...... Is it really time to choose? ”
Wu Zhenghuo turned his head and stared at Song Andao: "Do you want your young master to die not in the hands of the Tartars, but to die from his own secret arrow?" Why, you don't even listen to me? ”
Song An was frightened by Wu Zheng's eyes and broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly responded: "I'm just going to inform Commander Chen." ”
Watching Song An leave in a hurry, Wu Zheng's fierce eyes gradually returned to calm.
He didn't want to, he really didn't.
If this is someone else, Wu Zheng can even greet the snake with a smile on his face, until the time is ripe, and he will kill with one more blow.
But this is Zhu Yujiao, Wu Zheng's former "righteous brother", and now the prison country.
What kind of hatred can make her give the order to assassinate herself?
This made Wu Zheng unable to convince himself.
Until now, Wu Zheng only wanted to kill Uncle Zheng and mortgage Zhu Yujiao, and had no intention of harming Zhu Yuanjiao's life.
It's not that Wu Zheng didn't dare to kill the king, but he couldn't do it.
……。
"The minister didn't know that His Highness was coming, and he didn't welcome him from afar, hoping that His Highness would forgive his sins." Wu Zheng saluted respectfully.
Looking at Wu Zhenggujing's expression, and the etiquette of not being able to pick out the thorn, Zhu Yujiao's heart hurt as if she had been stabbed hard.
I don't know when the relationship between the two has become so cold.
Is it really for the sake of this assassination?
No, definitely not.
Zhu Yujiao denied it in her heart, she was sure and affirmed that the assassination was just a trigger point.
The most fundamental essence is the interests represented by both sides.
This is not a selfish interest between the two, if it is a selfish interest, Zhu Yujiao is willing to entrust everything she has without regrets.
She also believes that if it was only for selfish gain, Wu Zhengdu would not treat herself like this.
But there are countless people behind the two, which is the interests of a group or a court.
This benefit cannot be given to each other privately.
Even if the two of them are willing, countless people behind them will not agree.
