Wang Ziqi smiled and opened the lid of the wine jug. The wine jug was divided into two halves. By gently rotating the bottom of the jug, two kinds of wine could be poured out. Chen Mengsheng's limbs twitched and his face lay on the table motionless. The prince became motionless.
He poked Chen Mengsheng lightly with his hand, but he didn't move.
"Hahaha, kid, aren't you crazy? Ying Tianxiong, the governor of Yangzhou, and his whole family died in my hands, and Ying Xiaolian also died in my hands. So what?"
"Dad, what are you talking to this dead man about? If you drag him out and bury him, it will be over."
"Master Wang, you are indeed very clever. This dark and strong man almost tried to kill me in court during the day. Let me leave this dead body to me."
Wang Ziqi glanced at it and said coldly and expressionlessly: "Mr. Zhou, are you very concerned about this censor?"
When Zhou An heard these words, he fell to his knees and said, "I am scared, I, Zhou An, have always been loyal to the Imperial Censor. I hope that the Imperial Censor will understand." Zhou An said this.
He was murmuring in his heart, could it be that the imperial censor prince killed Chen Mengsheng and wanted to silence me? But killing a bunch of untouchables with poison is not a big deal at all? Zhou An was puzzled by the explanation and lowered his head.
I didn't dare to see Prince Yushi.
"Haha, I wonder if Mr. Zhou is loyal to today's emperor Yue Shen? Or is he loyal to Mr. Wang?"
Zhou An's head buzzed like a lightning strike, and cold sweat ran down his back. Wang Ziqi's words were treasonous. Was he trying to test me, or did he intend to rebel?
Wang Baoer had moved behind Zhou An like a ghost, put his right hand into his sleeve and took out a gleaming dagger. As long as there was a slight discrepancy between Zhou An's words, today next year would be his anniversary.
There was silence in the hall, except for Zhou An's trembling sound. If he is found to be complicit in rebellion in the future, he will be punished by the Nine Clan, but if he doesn't make his position clear now, he probably won't even be able to get out of this sect.
…
"Zhou An swears to be loyal to His Majesty Wang to the death, and he will follow His Majesty's lead."
Wang Ziqi laughed loudly and said: "Come here, I will take down this traitor who is disloyal to the Holy Emperor." There was a commotion of footsteps outside the door, and the servants of the Yushi Mansion pushed the door in, holding their long knives straight around them.
On Ann's neck.
Zhou An was frightened. He thought that borrowing Chen Mengsheng from the censor Wang Ziqi would bring him some benefits, but he didn't expect that he would risk his own life if he failed to steal the chicken. "Master Wang, what the official said is
Actually, if Mr. Wang doesn’t believe me, I can only take five steps with blood to show my will.” After saying this, Zhou An closed his eyes and waited for the servant to cut him off with his knife. They were all forced to do this, and Zhou An had already taken the
I bet my own brain...
The prince waved his hand lightly, and several servants exited the hall. Wang Baoer leaned forward to make sure there was no one outside the hall before closing the hall door.
Wang Baoer walked up to Zhou An, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Master Zhou is frightened. As long as the matter is of great importance, my father has to guard against it."
"I wonder what Mr. Wang's plan is?"
"Humph, Emperor Xiaozong only listens to Zhang Jun's words now. He has not seen me several times since I entered the palace. That Zhao Bocong was just an adopted son of the late emperor. He changed his name to Zhao Shen after he was made the crown prince. He has always been rude to his old ministers. When Long ascended the throne,
Let's take action on Dali Qiang, Luo Shixiang and others. If I hadn't been in court for twenty years, some of my foundations would have been killed by Zhao Shen."
How could a small seventh-grade county magistrate know these high-level matters? Zhou An was dumbfounded for a moment. "Ah, what do you mean, Lord Wang?"
"Mr. Zhou, it's better that you don't know some things. My father has his own sense of what he does. You are just a little official now. Your benefits will be indispensable in the future." Wang Baoer took the Four Treasures of the Study from the hall table and put them on the table.
superior.
Zhou An understood that this was to write down a document of allegiance to Wang Ziqi. If something happened, he would not be able to escape his involvement. If he didn't write it, he would die in the same mysterious way as Chen Mengsheng beside him. The pen in his hand weighs as much as a thousand pounds...
Wang Baoer took the letter of service written by Zhou An, read it and said with a smile: "Master Zhou, from now on we will both be prosperous and suffer."
"Zhou An knows that as long as it can be used, it will be like a dog and a horse."
The prince who had been silent all this time said: "Okay, let's end today's banquet. When Mr. Zhou left, he threw the dead body on the mass grave." After that, the prince waved his sleeves and walked out of the hall, and Wang Baoer followed closely and left.
.
Zhou An called the two sedan bearers who came with him and put Chen Mengsheng's dead body on the sedan. Zhou An followed the sedan and walked all the way to a deserted wilderness in the south of the city.
"Stop the sedan." The two bearers parked the sedan on the side of the road. When Zhou An opened the curtain of the sedan, he was so frightened that he flew out of his wits.
There was nothing in the sedan, not to mention Chen Mengsheng's dead body, not even a dead mouse. Zhou An was stunned. He didn't see anything unusual along the way, but such a big man disappeared...
"Let me tell you two, if anyone dares to say a word about what happened today, don't blame me, Zhou An, for being ruthless." The two bearers nodded in agreement.
In the study of the Censor's Mansion, the prince and his son were plotting. "Dad, why don't you let me kill Zhou An today?"
"Bao'er, things are different now. If you kill Zhou An, the court will definitely investigate. The Dali Temple... feels that... is Zhang Jun's disciple, and is always the enemy of his father. You,
Haosheng and I should be more restrained, as long as everything is done, what else will remain that is not our father and son?"
"My child knows."
"The imperial army is waiting to guard the palace. I have made all arrangements. Everything is ready and I am just waiting for Zhao Shen to come to my door. Hahahaha..."
"Father is really smart, but what if the three princes and nine ministers disobey and cause chaos?"
"Among those old people, only Wang Huai is a figure, and I really don't take the others seriously. Didn't the Zhao family in the Song Dynasty only have the yellow robe because of Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Qiao's mutiny." Wang Ziqi turned to a corner of the study and pushed.
The calligraphy and painting on the wall reveal a circular structure.
"Bao'er, come with me." This was the first time Wang Bao'er knew that there was a secret secret passage in his father's study, and he hurriedly followed Wang Ziqi into it.
The secret room was not big, only a row of locked bookshelves and an iron cabinet.
Wang Ziqi took out the key from his waist, opened the bookshelf and sighed: "Here are the records of civil and military officials collected during my father's twenty years in court. The brocade box contains some letters of allegiance. It's a pity that your mother died too early and can't enjoy it."
That blessing."
Wang Baoer picked up the brocade box and saw that there was a thick stack of documents inside. He couldn't help but gasped when he took a closer look: "Dad, Master Liu, the director of the Tongzhi Academy, and Master Ma, the commander of the imperial army, have already pledged their allegiance to dad?"
"Haha, Lord Ma Ruchao, the commander of the Forbidden Army, is in charge of tens of thousands of the Forbidden Army, but he has long been dissatisfied with Song Xiaozong Zhao Hao. Bao'er, in the Song Dynasty, no matter how outstanding your military exploits were, you were always criticized by the civilian officials of the Privy Council.
It's just a false title. They have already complained in their hearts, and the three princes have power but no military power. Who else can I have in this country?"
The Forbidden Army in the Southern Song Dynasty was a regular army. The Forbidden Army was located in the center. The local soldiers were called Xiang troops. Next were the rural soldiers, and then the vassal soldiers. The vassal soldiers were usually ethnic minorities recruited on the border. The commander of the Forbidden Army was also called the Dian.
Qiandu inspected and controlled the three yamen: the Palace Front Division, the Guards and Horse Guards Division, and the Guards and Infantry Division. All three of them were responsible to the emperor, but you can command the army. The deployment of troops does not belong to you, but to the Privy Council. The commander of the Imperial Guards
Ma Ruchao was the general manager of the Palace Department and was directly subordinate to Song Xiaozong Zhao He.
There was a secret letter at the bottom of the bookshelf. Prince Qi picked up the secret letter and said proudly: "This is a letter written by Wan Yanyong, King Shizong of the Jin Dynasty. As long as Lin'an is accomplished, the Kingdom of Jin will make me the emperor. Haha."
At the same time, Chen Mengsheng had returned to his home in Qiantang Village. Chen Mengsheng pretended to be dead in the Yushi Mansion. When he got into Zhou An's sedan, he took out the book of life and death and summoned the Night Wandering God to send him back home. The Night Wandering God and the Day Wandering God sent him back home.
On the contrary, the Night Gods are vicious gods who wander around at night. They and the Day Gods take turns on duty day and night to find trouble for people. The eight Night Gods and the Day Gods each have eight Yin Commanders in the underworld and are one of the ten generals of the underworld. And Black and White
Impermanence is also the spirit of the underworld. Among the people, some people see little people wearing bamboo hats who are these gods.
Chen Mengsheng said to the eight night wandering gods: "Tonight, I have to trouble you all a little more to help this judge invite a few people."
Ye Zhong, the leader of the Night Wandering Gods, said: "No matter what, Sir Judge, our brothers will all obey your orders."
In the Yangxin Hall of the Lin'an Palace, Emperor Xiaozong of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Zheng, and Prime Minister Zhang Jun, veterans Li Xianzhong and Zou Hongyuan, were discussing the matter of recovering the lost territory. Lingzhou and Suzhou were recovered, but the Jin Kingdom quickly mobilized troops in Henan to counterattack, and Suzhou fell. A breeze
After blowing the wind, Emperor Xiaozong of Song Dynasty, Zhao Zhen felt drowsy and turned down at his desk.
