Tongtong blinked, then blinked again, then squatted on the ground and stopped walking.
The fourth master was walking, but when he turned around, no one was in sight. When he looked back, he was really squatting there: "..." This trick is new, has it never been used before? He stood down to look at her, and saw that she was doing this because she was thinking
what?
Tongtong stretched out her hand to grab the corner of his robe and said pitifully, "I can't walk anymore! My feet hurt...carry me!"
Fourth Master: "..." Flying over roofs and walls, sliding doors and picking locks, what can't you do! Can't you walk?
Tongtong pulled the corner of his robe and shook it again, "I stepped on a stone and got hurt." As he spoke, he pulled his hand up along the robe.
Nowadays, the material and clothes are so rubbed that they are no longer visible.
This is so smooth!
The Fourth Master couldn't help but laugh. With this smile, Tongtong jumped up and jumped onto the Fourth Master's back, "Am I so underweight..." I have never had this weight before.
Fourth Master patted her on the butt and said, "Stay quietly and don't make any nonsense."
Tongtong whispered: "When this matter is over... we can separate the houses and leave the palace... The number one flower in the teahouse is in bloom. We will plant a lot of number one flower in the future. This flower can bloom four times."
As for the month, it blooms from April to August. I think as long as you use the right method, you can also encourage flowers in autumn..."
Chatter and change the subject.
The fourth master weighed her up and asked, "How will this matter be settled today? In your opinion, how will this matter go?"
Tongtong blew into Fourth Master's ears and spoke, "I think... there may not be any suspects in the palace. The reason for not moving is because of concerns. How to move in the capital, you can't just do whatever you want! You have to wait, it depends on Han and Lin
When will the two of them get into trouble..."
Yes! We have to cut off the retreat, and lose power one by one, so that we are not afraid of causing shock.
Emperor Wen Zhao did not expect that the two children would figure out the purpose of the second and third children's departure from the capital. He gave the two a specific time, "It will take more than a month! It's autumn, and the autumn grain has been put into the warehouse... It's time
Take action!"
Then we know for sure that we can't arouse the vigilance of these people in the capital.
However, our work was not in vain! We still found the door.
She told Emperor Wen Zhao about the follow-up to the fire case that year. Emperor Wen Zhao frowned. He really didn't know about this. "The bandits in Zhao County back then... Do you suspect that Zhao Jing borrowed it?"
Yes! Lin Yutong frowned, "You were the one who suppressed the bandits back then. Didn't you find any problem with these bandits?"
Emperor Wen Zhao's face became more thoughtful, and he said after a long time: "I discovered that they are not bandits, but powerful private soldiers. At that time, the Duke of Lao Zhu said that this incident was a personal grudge caused by him..."
Personal grudge?
"At that time, we were trying to level the world while managing the rear. In that situation, a lot of people were killed... and some places were so powerful and unruly that not killing them would not be enough to scare people! Therefore, Duke Lao Zhu made the decision and killed a group of people who were not local vassals.
We are a powerful family! Old Duke Zhu told Tai|zu that this is the other party’s revenge. Since they have been wiped out, don’t mention it anymore, and you can’t expand the matter!”
Therefore, Taizu believed in Lao Zhuguogong, and Emperor Wen Zhao at that time also believed in Laozhuguogong.
And what about Lao Zhu Guogong? Did he deliberately deceive? Or was he also deceived by someone he trusted?
Lin Yutong preferred to believe it was the latter, "Zhao Jing said, the content of the unwritten statement written by Taizu was known to everyone... Taizu was not on guard against Old Duke Zhu, but what about Old Duke Zhu?"
Is there anyone he trusts very much and never shy away from?"
Emperor Wen Zhao looked at this child and said, "Of course he is a very trustworthy person. I have never relaxed in these years. I have been watching him all the time and I have never seen anything that exceeds the rules."
Fourth Master interjected: "Uncle, Tongtong is worried that what happened in Zhao County will happen again! Where did that group of people come from? I didn't check in person. You killed 80% | 90%, and a very small number fled and hid. These people want to come
I don’t dare to show up anymore. However, after so many years, it’s time to train another group of people. Zhao County is only two days away from the capital! No matter who that person is, everyone is surrounded in the capital.
If you kill them, no one may be wronged. What matters is this group of people!"
Emperor Wen Zhao tapped his fingers lightly, and after a long while he looked at Tongtong, "Don't move for now! As for the owner of this bookstore, he should be found guilty, pay compensation, and let him go if he can..."
Let go?
Well! Let it go! Emperor Wen Zhao looked at Tongtong seriously, "Do you understand what this means?"
Tongtong's mind was spinning, and then she nodded, "Understood!"
Then go and have a rest early and go do some work tomorrow.
Yes! The two of them got up and exited from inside. Emperor Wen Zhao immediately wrote a secret letter and sent it to the secret inn, which was rushed eight hundred miles away from the inn.
Then Tian Tongtong had to deal with the follow-up of the case.
It happened that Zhao was traveling around and wanted to visit the prison.
Visiting a prisoner is called a prison visit, and Mrs. Zhao felt reassured when she saw Qian Ping. Qian Ping had already been handed over by Tongtong, and he kept shaking his head at Mrs. Zhao, "It's okay, manslaughter, the master of suffering | If you are willing to ask for money, things will happen
It’s natural.”
Doesn’t this mean that the owner of the suffering can’t be found?
Mrs. Zhao went to the Yamen to inquire again, only to find out that the victim was from Lingzhou near the capital, and the person who came was the deceased's brother. The man had no parents, no wife and children, and only one brother.
Then this is easy to handle! The owner accepted the two thousand taels of silver and agreed to keep it private.
Then two days later, Qian Ping came out. Zhao took the person out and took a bath at home. As soon as he lay down, the person fell asleep without saying anything. He invited a doctor to see him, and he only said that it was
She was frightened. It was not a big deal because she was frightened. But she couldn't get up after sleeping for three days. Zhao asked other doctors to come, but they invited more than ten doctors, and they all gave the same answer. Frightened.
To.
On the fourth day, I woke up in a daze. I ate food and drank water, but I was still not awake. I had a fever that night. The doctor still said, don't worry, just take care of yourself, and the illness will go away.
Silk, after more than a month, it will almost be fine.
I asked all the famous doctors in the capital and came to the same conclusion.
Ms. Zhao even went to the Shen family and invited a doctor who was often used by the Shen family. The doctor said, "It's just a fright. It will be fine when it calms down. There is nothing else!"
That’s good! If there’s nothing else, that’s good.
The doctor was sent off here, and the shopkeeper came over and said that the princess had sent a deposit of 10,000 taels of silver. He said that there was no rush for the Buddhist scriptures and that he would need it at the end of the year.
Ms. Zhao was completely relieved, it seemed she was overthinking.
As for Tongtong, she would still go to the tea house every now and then to drink tea and listen to music, and she would walk around the capital with her female guards. In addition, the princesses and princes from the palace would come out frequently, and the two noble concubines in the palace would summon a girl from time to time.
When you went to the palace to see each other, there were rumors that Xiao Jiuniang and Du Shiniang were likely to be selected as the princesses. Whether it was true or false, the whole capital was full of such news.
But the palace has never confirmed it! However, the capital is very lively with men and women from aristocratic families coming from all over the country every day.
But as autumn entered, the atmosphere in the capital suddenly became tense.
People from all over the country rushed to Beijing for 800 miles: there was a bandit attack! The bandits incited the local people to invade the government and noble families. It is said that the people were like locusts, and no grass grew wherever they passed! One out of ten of the officials died at the hands of the bandits.
8 | 9. The fields of the local wealthy and powerful families were robbed, their granaries were robbed, and their homes were not only robbed, but their houses were also burned to the ground. The fires continued and burned for days and nights.
.
Above the main hall, Pei Xuan knelt and whispered, "Your Majesty, the Pei family in Hedong has been a prominent family for thousands of years since the Eastern Han Dynasty! Only in the Tang Dynasty, the Pei family had 17 prime ministers! Now, the Pei family has been burned to the ground... Your Majesty! This evil
If the bandits are not suppressed, how can we deal with the people who died in the bandit disasters?"
That's right! The house of a thousand-year-old family occupies half of the city. In addition, the Liu family in Hedong, the Xue family in Hedong, and 90% of the land in a county in Hedong, and all the minerals are owned by these families. It's really water splashing.
There will be no end to the needle pricks!
Emperor Wen Zhao sneered in his heart, but was furious on his face, and ordered the Privy Council to "mobilize troops immediately to eliminate the banditry without delay!" But he sent troops to Hedong, and on the back came the Cui family of Boling, the Zheng family of Xingyang, the Lu family of Fanyang...
The experience was similar to Pei's.
Followed closely by the Taiyuan Wang family, Jingzhao Du family, Longyou Li family, Hongnong Yang family, Qinghe Cui family...
Is there anything else you don’t understand about these reports coming to Beijing?
An old man with a gray beard slapped his hand on the table: "Okay, okay! What a man who builds a plank road openly and secretly spends time in Chencang!"
Who can't see it? This is to clean up the family! Now, what if we send troops? The local people dispersed in a hurry, and now they are the people. How can they massacre the people? And the executioners who really killed people were Han Er and Lin
Three lent soldiers.
Where did you borrow the soldiers?
It can only be the two royal palaces in the north and the south!
They retreated after killing people and setting fires. The food was robbed by the local people, but what about the accumulation, the gold and silver treasures in the warehouse? It would have been a ghost if it hadn't been taken by these two princes.
They just divided up the family!
How abominable!
Killing relatives and annihilating clans! The old man stood up holding the table, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
Opposite him stood an old man with the same gray hair. Seeing him like this, he didn't move. "This is revenge! This is revenge! From the day Lin San woke up, this revenge began! I said back then, Chen Wanyi's
You are not a person who cannot listen to advice. Just tell him that his strategy is not working for the time being. This will provide a buffer. When the successor comes, we will work on him. Zhao Hongyin is a very suitable person! As long as he can
Support the eldest princess's lineage, and we will win! Brother, you can't tolerate it for a moment, thinking that the eldest princess's succession to the throne is a big disaster... Now, have you seen it? The conflict that could have been dealt with slowly has become like this. I
I've said it a long time ago, this is the path to self-destruction! Now, the foundation of the family has been destroyed, and the people are scattered to death...A family? There will no longer be a family! You and I are both sinners of the family. But brother,
This is already the case, why not let it end here! Fortunately, there are people from each family who are serving as officials in the court, and they have escaped the disaster. Fortunately, there are young people from each family who have been sent to the capital! Let this matter end here, and leave the rest to us.
Give those people a way out!"
"How can we just forget about killing our relatives and annihilating our clan?"
So what if that doesn't count?
"There was news before that Jin Kuangji wanted to hunt in autumn."
so what?
"Bandits appear in various places. Even if there is a delay, the court should still send troops to suppress the bandits."
Well! We have to send it. "There will be a fire in the hunting ground on the outskirts of Beijing soon..."
What?
"There will be fires in the hunting grounds in the suburbs of Beijing, so hunting is not allowed. Jin Kuangji has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he has been leading troops in wars before he ascended the throne. He is most proud of himself! If hunting is not allowed in the suburbs of Beijing, will he give up this year's autumn hunting?"
Of course not. How could the emperor take back what he said?
"If he can't take it back, where can he hunt?"
"Fengning!" Walking north, there is a huge pasture in Fengning. Emperor Wen Zhao clicked on the drawing, "Since we want to hunt, unfortunately, there was another wildfire in the hunting ground on the outskirts of Beijing, so let's go to Fengning
Let’s go! It only takes three days on the road, so it’s not far. I haven’t gone out for a few years, so I’ll take a trip out of Beijing to see it.”
The queen looked away from the map and asked, "You go, I will guard the capital."
Emperor Wen Zhao shook his head, "Let's all go! Take my aunt and mother out for a walk."
The queen was silent for a long time before nodding, "Okay! Let's all go then! I'm asking someone to pack up my things."
Packing things?
Lin Yutong was stunned for a moment and asked Aunt Bai, "Did Madam say everyone is going?" Of course! They are all going.
Lin Yutong put down the pen in his hand, "Since it is hunting, I naturally need to bring more riding equipment. Besides, I will put all kinds of medicine in the box and I will take it with me."
yes!
Tongtong looked at Qingya and said, "Bring me the map."
Qingya took it easily, placed it in front of Tongtong, and clicked on a point, "This is Fengning."
Lin Yutong traced the place Fengning with his fingers, and then rolled up the map. This method was really too risky. If it were the fourth master, he would never use such a radical method.
Sure enough, just as they were getting ready, Fourth Master sent Shi Jian with a box, "Our Highness said that we must carry this thing with us."
What?
Tongtong opened it and saw that it was a breast-protecting mirror. She said: "..." Knowing that the risk was very high and fearing that they would have to fight each other, the Fourth Master quickly found a breast-protecting mirror to save his life instead of sharpening his sword.
The next day we met when we went to the queen's place for dinner, and the fourth master said in a low voice, "You were careless. Why did you forget to prepare soft armor in advance? With your body like this, you can't carry heavy armor."
Are we afraid that others will fire arrows at random and we will be turned into hedgehogs?
If others guess the intention behind this, they will want to show off their skills and gain a reputation as a hero! Where is my family? I secretly thought, how can I save my life in such a mess! This behavior is too cruel.
But Tongtong thought: Why do I love this arrogant man in my family so much!
She resisted laughing and said seriously, "The queen asked me to follow her all the time. Have you seen the queen's phoenix chariot? It's covered with a layer of iron."
These words served as a reminder to the Fourth Master. Before setting off, the Fourth Master's hand was caught in the door.
Emperor Wen Zhao was still wondering, "Why was he caught in the door?"
"It's because the window door is pinched. Your Highness's hand was pinched when he closed the window. I'm afraid it's inconvenient for the royal horse. I asked the doctor to take a look. His nails are black and blue!"
"Why is this kid so careless?" Emperor Wen Zhao said, "Tell him to get on the chariot and stop riding." His fingers hurt and he couldn't ride the horse!
Then the fourth master got on the imperial chariot! Well! The imperial chariot was quite comfortable, spacious and comfortable. You could just lean on the couch and have a good sleep. After observing the internal structure carefully, you found that it was wrapped in brass.
Layer! Even a heavy crossbow would be hard-pressed to shoot through it!
Before leaving, he went to see the Phoenix Chariot. Although it looked like iron, it was not as strong as the Dragon Chariot. It was safe for Tongtong to accompany the queen. That's all! He was leaving immediately. He had to go back.
, before leaving, he repeatedly warned Tongtong, "Don't show off, it's important to protect yourself."
Tongtong was obedient, promised to be obedient, and then watched him get on the dragon chariot.
Looking at his back, she suddenly felt that if there were any special materials, she would have to make a shell for Fourth Master. He could carry it wherever he went. It would be absolutely safe!
