Could it be that Ewan has been missing for more than ten years, but he is hiding in his hometown plotting... plotting to rebel? No, more than ten years ago, Prince Lin was just a member of the clan who had just inherited the title of prince. Unless he was crazy, how could he do it?
Such a stupid thing! No matter what the long-standing grievances and grievances are, he has reached his current position, what else can't he do? What on earth is this person thinking and what is he doing?
Epuzi has always prided himself on being astute, but this time he couldn't think of a reason. So in the end, he just threw the envelope and the letter into the charcoal basin and let it gradually turn into ashes. He waited until he pulled it with a small bamboo stick
After a few seconds, seeing that nothing was left in the fire, he stood up, put on his coat and left the study room. Instructing his servants to lock the door, he slowly walked down the steps, and suddenly squinted his eyes and looked at the area above his head.
Gray sky.
"No matter who you are, no matter what you want to do...if you want to ruin this peaceful and joyful life, then don't blame me!"
The capital city looked particularly gloomy at night amid the heavy snowfall. Although the bells and drums on the Bell Tower and Drum Tower sounded occasionally, they were hazy and indistinct in the wind and snow. In this weather, the soldiers and horses of the five cities
The company's inspections were also careless and perfunctory. No one wanted to walk outside cold and hungry. Even the little robbers and thieves had mostly disappeared. As a result, the streets and alleys looked clean, even if they were running around on weekdays.
There are no traces of wild cats or dogs.
On such a day, a man who was traveling in the wind and snow struggled to open the two doors and got into an inconspicuous small courtyard. After locking the door, he stood at the door of the main house on the north.
, after gently knocking on the door a few times, a voice came from inside.
"Come in."
The man patted the snowflakes on his body, and then entered the room sideways. Feeling a warmth instantly enveloped him, he took off his linoleum cloak, took off his clogs, and then hurried to the window.
He bowed in front of the desk beside him and said, "Sir, the letter has been delivered."
"Well, very good." Todayama put down the account book in his hand, rubbed the bridge of his nose, and then asked calmly, "How is the situation at your place, sir?"
"Sir, I have been visiting my father-in-law frequently these days, and he has given me many gifts. My father-in-law said that His Highness's memorial has been sent to the emperor. If nothing else happens, he should be able to persuade the emperor to agree." After a pause, the man hesitated again.
He said hesitantly, "It's just that when I followed my husband, I discovered that when he went in and out of my father-in-law's place, someone seemed to be watching him. There were also people sneaking around, and I don't know where the guards were."
"He always thought that he was ever-changing, but he didn't know that there are so many guards in the imperial court now, how could he be allowed to be carefree!" Todayama sneered, stood up according to the account book, and said, "Find an opportunity to remind him not to play tricks.
It’s gone too far!”
"Your Excellency, you haven't always been aware of Sir... Why do you need to remind him?"
"He is still useful at this time. Without him to advise His Highness, some things would not have been done."
"Yes, yes, yes..." After the man agreed repeatedly, he hesitated for a moment, and then said, "It's just that Mr. has said before that when he was dealing with matters in the capital, he cast a wide net blindly. If he had calculated like this, he would only
Keeping an eye on important people, how come it is now possible for His Highness to send a memorial requesting for the restoration of the bodyguard..."
"Huh, what does he know? It's the early years of the Storm, and it's the Year of the Sweat. The court is dominated by those who claim to be honorable men. I bribed many important people to no avail, let alone one or two?"
Todayama waved his hand impatiently, and then said nonchalantly, "No matter what he says, I'm going to leave anyway... As long as he can stay on the sidelines this time, it will be easy to resume guarding. Those courtiers are not enough."
For concern."
It wasn't until the man retreated that Todayama let out a long sigh of relief. Having reached this point, he was already one step closer to his goal. He thought that Goose Shop was so smart, and with his own reminder, he would not act rashly.
That's right. The imperial vassal now seems to have only superficial honor, but in fact he can't even go out of the city. But after all, he is the prince who all the princes and ministers have to bow down to pay homage to. No one dares to touch it easily. Otherwise, with that person
How could such a myriad of charges still stand despite the endless impeachments by the courtiers and lead to a peaceful death?
Since God doesn’t have eyes, then it’s up to him to open the eyes of this heaven!
After a day and night of snow, the sky cleared up again in the early morning of the next day. However, every house was covered with snow again, and some houses that had survived the first snowfall collapsed. Although wealthy families were busy clearing snow,
Ordinary people had to risk their lives to clear snow from their houses. Due to the previous decree of the imperial court, some officers had to go to the streets to inspect and count the losses, while the people from the Wucheng Military and Horse Department were busy cleaning up the capital under the order.
A person from the palace.
Throughout the day, this kind of cleanup was carried out one after another in the few locations that had been roughly explored before. In the new heavy snow last night, there were dozens more corpses that died of cold and starvation, and those who begged for mercy
The sounds of crying came one after another. However, the most eye-catching thing was the monk on the street who was wearing heavy shackles and being beaten with sticks and paraded through the streets. At first, some people looked at him with sympathy, but as the guards loudly announced
As a result, those glances turned into contemptuous glances, and some even led children to crush clumps of snow into snowballs and threw them heavily at the monk's bald head.
Naturally, this kind of rotten person should be beaten! After the heavy snow, even rotten vegetable leaves are valuable, and it is not worth wasting on this kind of person!
A group of people coming out of the Huguo Temple alley saw the monk being beaten with snowballs one by one, holding his head and begging for mercy. However, because of the heavy shackles on his body, he could not dodge. He was beaten several times and staggered to the ground. The leading one among them used a whip.
He pointed, and then said to a man wearing a heavy coat beside him: "Eunuch Gu, although this monk deserves to die, isn't such a punishment too severe?"
"It's too heavy. This kind of dog deserves to die. Feeding the dog will make it easier for him!"
