Guzhou is only two days' journey from Yingzhou City at most. Under the escort of three thousand soldiers, Liu Mingzhi finally arrived in Guzhou and started repairs.
The backyard of Guzhou Station.
The Queen used the excuse of giving Liu Mingzhi a cleansing and purifying body, and dismissed the fifty soldiers guarding the coffin.
Although Tao Li and the others did not know the true identity of the Queen, with the prince's biological younger sister Liu Xuan as a guarantee and the Queen's previous assistance, they still led their soldiers and horses out of the courtyard dozens of steps away from the coffin just like the previous times.
outside.
After the fifty personal guards left, the Queen pushed open the coffin lid and rolled her eyes at Young Master Liu, who was lying in the coffin with his eyes wide open and bored out of his mind.
“Come out quickly!”
“Are you sure no one is spying on you?”
“Don’t worry, I won’t let you out even if I’m not sure.”
Liu Mingzhi sat up nimbly, quickly dug out the coffin and jumped out.
“Although there are ventilation holes, it almost didn’t suffocate me to death, mainly because it was too boring.”
The queen looked around, took out a food box from the corner and placed it in front of Liu Mingzhi. She took out four plates of pastries and placed a bowl of delicious fish soup in front of Liu Mingzhi.
“You’ve been hungry all day, eat quickly. I really don’t know why you have to endure this kind of suffering. Why don’t you just buy a carriage and follow it? You have to lie in the coffin and suffer the suffocation yourself.
Eat, eat poorly, sleep poorly.
In order to avoid going to the toilet, you only eat three to five mouthfuls a day. Don’t you know that your current injury is still in the recovery stage?
Do you know how worried I am every day? I am really afraid that you will be bored in it one day!"
Although the Queen spoke words of complaint, her words contained more of heartache.
Liu Mingzhi picked up the fish soup, blew on it, took a sip, and showed a satisfied look.
Putting the spoon to the Queen's mouth: "Drink some too."
The Queen shook her head slightly: "I'm full, you can drink it by yourself. Now we have arrived in Guzhou. We are still at most two days away from Yingzhou. If you want me to tell you, come out. Don't lie in there. Don't tell me how uncomfortable you are.
, even more unlucky.”
Liu Mingzhi looked around and shook his head at the Queen with firm eyes.
“To put it bluntly, I don’t need to tell you that you know a lot about things that can lead to failure due to carelessness. At this time, you need to be more cautious. I have already underestimated the Bourne Shadow once, and I will definitely not underestimate it a second time.
In case of the spy out of the surrounding, in order to ensure whether I have died, steal it to open the coffin to check. Once I find that I am not in the coffin, then all the efforts in front will be abandoned before.
Now that the enemy is in darkness and we are in the clear, we are not afraid of them attacking us head-on for the second time, but we are afraid of them assassinating us secretly.
It is not easy to guard against secret assassinations by innate masters.
As long as Cheng Kai and the other generals of the Six Guards did not return from their headquarters or rush to Yingzhou, the news that King Liu Mingzhi was still alive would never be spread.
Who knows if there is any back-up plan from the imperial court?
It’s better to be careful!”
The queen wrinkled her nose angrily: "As long as you can endure the bumps and torture, I won't bother to care about you!"
“Alas! It’s okay for me to feel uncomfortable. I’m just afraid that Yun’er and the others will be in chaos after hearing the rumors.
It’s true that Yun’er and the others are all smart girls. Maybe they won’t believe the rumors easily, for fear that the three of them will become a tiger, and care will lead to chaos!
I don’t know how anxious they are now.”
The Queen glanced at Young Master Liu with a resentful look: "Since you are worried that they will be anxious and uneasy, why don't you let me write to them in advance to say that they are safe?
Now that I think about it, it has been seven or eight days since the Fengyundu attack and killing. You are lying in the coffin and you don't know what kind of chaos Northern Xinjiang is now.
Now I know it’s too late to worry!”
“Alas! I can’t help it. There are spy agents among the soldiers, not to mention the servants and maids in the mansion. There are nine out of ten spies there.
If you are not afraid of Yun'er, they know the news that I am still alive, and they are afraid of being listened to the spy shadow spies lurking in the house, and passed to the court of the court.
Now that the matter has come to this, we can only aggrieve them!
I've finished eating, you can put away the rest."
“Isn’t it enough to eat just this much? You can also eat two more cakes, but I won’t be able to survive you!”
Liu Mingzhi pushed back the sweet-scented osmanthus cake handed by the Queen with a firm look: "Just bear with it, it will be disgusting if you have a stomachache in there!"
The Queen put away the cakes helplessly and stared at Young Master Liu silently for a while.
“You are a terrible person. In order to accomplish something, you will never give up until the goal is achieved.
Simply do whatever it takes.
In the past, I felt that I was already strong enough. Only when I compared with you did I understand what it means to be a little dwarfed by a big witch. The fastest update on PC::/
You are simply unreasonable in some aspects!"
Liu Mingzhi stood up and stretched, looking at the Queen with admiring eyes and smiling bitterly.
“In the final analysis, we are still afraid of death!
The time is almost up, you should go back first."
The Queen shook her head reluctantly: "Can't we stay longer?"
“Be good and obedient, and you will have many more days ahead!”
The Queen glared at Young Master Liu helplessly, packed up the food box and pursed her lips towards the coffin: "Hey, go to hell!"
After pushing up the lid of the coffin and cleaning up the food boxes, the Queen left with the basin in hand. Tao Li and the others rushed back with their soldiers to continue guarding Young Master Liu's coffin.
The next day it became white in the east, and the carriage set off again northward to Yingzhou.
The Qinzheng Hall of the Imperial Palace in Beijing.
The twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, tomorrow is New Year’s Eve, and the day after tomorrow is New Year’s Eve.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, who should have stayed at home with their wives and children on the hot bed, gathered at the Qinzheng Hall to wait for Li Ye's arrival.
The news of the death of King Bingjian inevitably reached the ears of the people in the capital, and continued to spread towards the south.
Hundred officials had already learned about this incident in the letters sent by governors and governors in various places, and they tried their best to suppress the impact of this incident.
However, things cannot be suppressed at all.
At this moment, the Qinzheng Hall was completely silent, and the sound of a pindrop could be heard.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, who were accustomed to chatting with each other, were now as silent as cicadas and kept silent, fiddling with the documents in their hands with different thoughts.
Although the news of King Bingjian's death reached the ears of the people in the capital, the specific reasons are not yet clear to the people.
However, the common people didn't know it, but the Manchu dynasty's civil and military officials had already known it clearly from the documents sent to various ministries by officials from various prefectures north of the capital.
Although he did not know whether the contents in the document were true or false, seeing the realistic and lifelike statements in the document, the officials instinctively regarded the contents in the document as true.
After all, looking at the world, whether it is in the temples or in the rivers and lakes, apart from the imperial court, there is almost no other force that dares to take action against the current imperial court.
Officials are worried among themselves.
I couldn’t help but think about it. If it was confirmed that the attack and killing of Fengyundu was carried out by His Majesty, what would happen to me and others in the future?
There is no denying that he holds the high power of the throne and oversees the military and political affairs of a small half of the northern Xinjiang.
Moreover, he acts very domineeringly, and few opponents in the temple dare to confront him tit for tat.
However, whether King Bingjian was in court or since he became a vassal, he could not find any fault with the behavior of the court and his Majesty, even if he was dissatisfied with King Bingjing's fellow officials.
Although he never discussed the orders he issued with his colleagues, in the end he had to admit that they were indeed orders of great benefit to the country and the people.
Now King Side by Side and Fengyun Du have passed away and passed away, and the initiator may be Li Ye, the current emperor who he personally supported to the throne, who is presiding behind the scenes.
The official was at a loss.
Your Majesty cannot tolerate even King Bingjing, who was so loyal that he almost dedicated himself to death and died, so where will we be put?
A feeling of sadness over the death of a rabbit or a fox arises involuntarily.
Especially Du Chenghao, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Qin Ziying, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Ye Kaiyan, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, and the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, several senior ministers of the three dynasties, had even more complicated thoughts.
You must know that Du Yu, Sun Mingfeng, Qin Guang, Ye Jinghui, Tao Li and several of the generals who serve alongside the king are all his sons.
They were originally the least valued second sons, but after joining King Bingjian, they made outstanding achievements, were awarded titles and became generals, and became the pillars of the family after they retired and returned to their hometown.
Now that King Bingjian has been assassinated and passed away, have the children who were generals been killed and silenced?
The seemingly peaceful court hall is now filled with gloom and gloomy clouds.
