1451 The Night of the Palace
Shi Hu is indeed sick, although it is not a very serious illness, but he occasionally feels cold, but after all, he is not young now, and his emotions have fluctuated too much recently, and his daily life is irregular, so that this illness has dragged from the end of the year to the new year.
However, with the careful treatment in the past few days, the symptoms have slowed down, and the spirit has gradually recovered. The reason why he stayed in Huguo Temple and did not return to the garden was mainly to wait for his son Shi Bin to return to the country.
At present, the situation in the country has been tense to a limit, and it is inevitable that the sudden transfer will inevitably be chaotic in the dispatch of people and horses, and Shi Jian, who was originally in charge of the Chinese army's lineage, was sent by him to the Youzhou military camp in Fuliu City.
Of course, Shi Hu also understood that his stay in Huguo Temple for such a long time would inevitably lead to speculation. But this is nothing, Shi Bin travels day and night, and he can arrive in Xindu after midnight, when the father and son appear in front of people, even if there is any dark tide, it will disappear.
As the time got closer and closer, Shi Hu's mood became more relaxed. After the meal and medication, I took a short nap in the afternoon, and when I woke up, my mental and physical strength were restored.
At present, the new situation in the country has been mostly completed, and Shi Hu is no longer worried that the court situation will be repeated, but he is a little worried about family affairs in the inner court. Shi Bin's son returned to China to help him control the general situation, and Shi Hu was more relieved. But at the same time, the domineering temperament shown by this son made Shi Hu unable to be completely at ease.
He did not order Shi Bin to kill Zhang Li, but only ordered him to be imprisoned and escorted back to China, and used as a bargaining chip to communicate with Zhang Yu if necessary. But he didn't expect Shi Bin to kill Zhang Li, although Zhang Jackal has been repeatedly suppressed and powerless to fight back, Zhang Li's death is not a big deal, but Shi Bin's ferocity made Shi Hu feel uncontrollable.
Of course, he did not send an order to reprimand Shi Bin, as long as the general trend can be stabilized, the country also needs a strong sect king like Shi Bin to suppress the situation. What worries Shi Hu is that Shi Bin's character is only afraid that he will not be able to tolerate and protect his brothers as he hopes.
Shi Shi is his appointed heir, and with the support of various forces, and his own internal care, Shi Hu is not too worried. But the other sons will inevitably suffer.
In the evening, Shi Hu sat alone in the pavilion, not long before the Chinese army Shi Cheng was ordered to lead a group of henchmen who had secretly left the Huguo Temple and went to the eastern suburbs of Xindu to meet Shi Bin.
After the tense heartstrings were relaxed again, Shi Hu ordered to summon Shi Zun, the king of Gaoyi, to meet him.
The palace people passed the decree, and soon after, Shi Zun hurried over, and after entering the cabinet, he kneeled forward and bowed: "The son knocks to see his father." ”
Shi Hu raised his eyes and beckoned, letting Shi Zun come closer, seeing this childish and handsome son, between his eyebrows and eyes, Shi Hu's heart was a little tender, and he said: "Don't ask for a long time, your mother has been living in peace recently?" ”
Although it was just an ordinary greeting, Shi Zun's eyes turned red for a moment, and he said in a trembling voice: "The mother is still safe, but the spirit is inevitably tired, and the only thing to worry about is that the sons and daughters are inferior and lack the self-reliant posture of adults......
"It's not your fault! My son is good and talented, although the Jin Dynasty chooses Junyan, I dare not boast that I can compete for the beauty of my son. ”
Although he brutally suppressed the Jin people, when it came to the virtuousness of his son, Shi Hu still couldn't help but compare with those so-called young sages of the family, he had no lack of love and pity to touch the top of this son's hair, and he felt a little guilty in his heart, and there was no lack of regret that he was busy running around in the early years, and he couldn't find this good son early for cultivation.
At present, he is already powerless, and if he is strong enough to establish this son who has no foundation, it will harm him. Don't say that the current situation in the court is no longer enough to form a team for this son Luo Weaving, but I am afraid that Shi Bin, who is about to return to the country, will not tolerate that there are still brothers who want to share the glory of his position.
Putting aside this distraction, Shi Hu turned to chatting with this son. Most of the time, it was Shi Hu who was laughing and talking about old things, as well as his career as a horse in foreign wars, and there was even no lack of experience to teach.
And Shi Zun also showed his admiration and reverence for his father in a timely manner, and every time he asked questions, he always pointed to Shi Hu's proudest place, which also made Shi Hu love this son even more. Among his sons, there are many arrogant people, and there are also those who are dull and unbearable, but when it comes to obedience and courtesy, only Shi Zun is in line with his heart.
"Who sighs that my family is fierce, only bullying the world with strong force, that is less than knowledge, and has never appreciated my handsome demeanor!"
Hearing his father's evaluation of himself, although Shi Zun was overjoyed on the surface, he actually lacked emotional ups and downs in his heart. Now he is in need of real help, and even if there are a basket of good words, it still won't help.
On the contrary, the more the Lord praised him so much without saying reality, the more pessimistic Shi Zun became. Because it means that the current stable situation in the country is already the limit that the Lord can maintain at the moment, and he can no longer afford to share and cultivate his son.
After a small talk, until the middle of the night, Shi Hu was still very interested in talking, so he simply left Shi Zun to give food, and personally persuaded his son to eat vegetables, and his affection showed that he cared for his son as usual.
"I will stay here tonight, I know that my son is by no means an idle flashy utensil, and he will not disappoint you. Taiwei Zhang Ju has no shortage of praise for you, and when he returns to the country, I will entrust him to borrow his strength from you and return to the domain to govern affairs. ”
When Shi Zun heard this, his face was already showing a gesture of ecstasy, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Son, thank your father!" Sons and sons are not happy to accept the knees of the monarch, but the father still has good brothers and good brothers in his eyes and invites joy, and the mother is the only one in the arms, because he is eager to be self-reliant and serve the rest of his life...... Auntie tears look forward to this time for a long time, the son dares to ask for a letter of favor, can good morning Auntie earnestly! ”
Although Shi Zun was also pleased that his father had finally faced him squarely, he still didn't dare to believe it in such a light promise, because he wanted to take advantage of Shi Hu's tenderness to hope to finalize the matter. Although this is the meaning, he tactfully entrusts his mother Zheng to hope that he can take advantage of his father's affection for his mother to strive for more.
When Shi Hu heard this, he was not disgusted, but laughed: "This is also true, the gentleman speaks of his father's teachings, and the children have their own understanding." Your mother is not a good woman, and her fate has been even more calamitous, if there is no evidence, she will complain and joke about it. ”
While speaking, Shi Hu raised his hand to summon the waiter waiting for the book outside the palace, and then dictated an edict in the hall to save the evidence, and gave Shi Zun a private seal, and said with a smile: "The edict is clear, the seal is proof, if your mother still complains about my feelings, it will be a little unreasonable." Stand down. ”
Shi Zun was already in tears at this time, and thanked him repeatedly, and then temporarily lived in a wing room under the guidance of the palace people. It's just that when I left, I saw the bright lights inside and outside the Zhongshan King Shishi Residence, and I couldn't help but feel gloomy and lost in my heart, and even the future of retreat that I had sought by luck in my heart was boring.
While the father and son in the west hall were enjoying themselves, the inside of the Huguo Temple was already surging.
When Zhang Jackal appeared in front of Dongtai Zu Qing, Zu Qing was also shocked by the great energy that Zhang Jackal showed. Sneaking in quietly is naturally nothing, but Zhang Jackal entered with his armor, which means that there must be a big problem with the army on duty along the way!
Zhang Jackal was very satisfied with the surprise revealed by Zu Qing, and opened his mouth to throw out another even more shocking news: "Those who are lost in the Tao are trapped in help." King Yan is arrogant and arrogant, good at killing virtuous people, people lose their hopes, and the car has helped us! ”
After hearing this, Zu Qing really couldn't be calm anymore. The general of the chariot is the prince Shi Bao, and Zhang Jackal can even speak and move Shi Bao, which shows the depth of this veteran minister.
At present, the car is in charge of the defense of Xindu City, since Shi Bud has been moved, it means that what is happening in Xindu City this night, there will be no strong intervention from outside forces in the short term.
The reason why Zhang Jackal is here is not only to show his strength and show his determination, but also to give Zu Qing a direct coercion, no matter what this son-in-law's intentions are, he must obey his orders this night!
"The father-in-law dares to do big things, how dare Qing wait!"
Zu Qing had been looking forward to this moment for a long time, and he drew his sword and slashed it in his palm, spilling blood as an oath.
Seeing Zu Qing's statement, Zhang Jackal was also a little relieved. He rebelled against the chariot and cavalry, but there were still guards of the Chinese army, Wuwei and Longxiang inside and outside the Huguo Temple, and the strong attack was only the next policy, and only by breaking through from the inside could it be successful.
However, these three armies have long been wiped out, and although there are still some remnants of Zhang Jackal's forces, they are scattered in various battalions, and they can only be used as eyes and ears at critical moments, or create chaos, but it is difficult to place great deal on major matters.
As one of the generals of the Chinese army, Zu Qing commanded more than 3,000 Chinese soldiers, and he was definitely a force to be reckoned with. Without his cooperation, it would be difficult for Zhang Jackal to control the overall situation of Huguo Temple this night.
When they met with each other and decided, Zhang Jackal hid behind the scenes, and Zu Qing was still responsible for the frontal breakthrough.
After Zhang Jackal left, Zu Qing immediately summoned the generals and captains under his command, and said sharply: "The West Hall has changed suddenly, the Lord has urgently summoned into the arch, and all the departments are assembled and standby, and go to the West Hall with me!" ”
After hearing this, all the generals present changed their colors in unison, naturally some people were disguised, but there were also people who really couldn't believe it, even if a building owner came out of the crowd and said: "The stakes are very high, can the general have an edict to believe?" ”
Zu Qing raised his hand and took out an edict from his bosom, quickly stepped forward and handed it to the owner, the owner of the building was not lacking in vigilance, took a small step back and took the edict, and was waiting to take a closer look after unfolding it, when suddenly the wind struck behind him, and then he looked down, only to see a blade from the front chest!
"Military orders are like mountains, and emergencies are like fire! Who still suspects me of being pretentious? ”
Zu Qing didn't even look at the corpse of the owner who fell to the ground and convulsed, grabbed the blood-stained edict to make it public, and all the generals in the tent bowed their heads awe, even if some people still wanted to make trouble, they would immediately be added by swords.
The generals were all confiscated, and then they were assigned to the Zu family's henchmen and generals, and they each went out to gather their troops. Zu Qing also raised his sword and walked out, standing on the east platform and looking west, only to see that there was already a fire swaying in the direction of the west hall, which meant that Zhang Jackal's ears and eyes had begun to create chaos, what he needed to do was to arrive at the west hall in the shortest possible time, take over the panicked Chinese army, and at the same time block the rest of the army outside the west hall.
The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the night of the palace is pressing. Shame and humiliation, blood debt and blood repayment!
