Chapter 213: It’s about the young master’s bloodline
Soldiers, the country's major events, the place of death and life, the way of survival, must be observed.
Zhao Zheng led his army on an expedition, and reports of military aircraft were sent to Kyoto every day.
Where did the troops arrive, what supplies were needed from the rear, which city was captured, and which general was captured.
Sometimes messengers are deliberately sent to shout and shout through the streets to let the people know.
finally--
The news of conquering Shouchun City and beheading King Chu of Chu shocked the government and the public, and the whole country celebrated.
Even the traders and lackeys knew that the Chu State was powerful and prosperous and difficult to conquer.
Now that Chu has been defeated, no one in the Nine Provinces is qualified to be the enemy of Yong.
It’s just that some people seem to see and notice things that are different from others.
"The queen stayed in the Wei army for half a year and led the Wei army to invade Chu."
"The Wei army and the Chu army fought fiercely at Tianhu. Your Majesty gave up the opportunity to attack Shouchun and went to rescue them."
"Our army integrated the Wei army and allowed the Wei army to enter Shouchun City with the military flag."
……
The monarch was not in Kyoto, and after the courtiers had discussed the state affairs, some people gradually went to Da Zheng Palace and relayed the information to the Queen Mother.
It didn't take long for Queen Mother Ji Man's eyebrows to rise.
He walked around the palace and muttered to himself more and more often.
"Feng Jie!"
Once, the Queen Mother went to the previous court and caught the imperial censor and asked: "Last time, the Ai family heard that you were going to report the Queen's promotion of relatives to important positions. Why was there no news?"
Feng Jie held up the wat board and saluted, saying, "Because Jiang Ben has realized his interest and left Kyoto, and there are no relatives here anymore, so I have nothing to report."
Because the wat board was blocking it, he couldn't see the Queen Mother's expression.
The Queen Mother nodded with a straight face and was about to ask again when Feng Jie had already resigned and left.
He walked so fast that he didn't hear the Queen Mother's call.
But fortunately, someone is willing to listen to the Queen Mother's concerns.
Tingwei Li Tonggu is a person who is good at listening.
He often knelt upright in the Queen Mother's Hall and devoted himself to relieving the Queen Mother's worries when she was troubled.
"Li Tingwei, have you seen the young master today? I heard that he can already talk a lot. The Ai family remembers that His Majesty was slow to speak when he was a child and did not speak until he was two years old."
The Queen Mother was chattering and sipping tea, her beautiful eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and she didn't know if it was because of worries or because she was thinking about other things.
Li Tonggu replied: "I heard that the sect's stewards are guarding Zhiyang Palace and no one is allowed to enter. The ministers are afraid of causing trouble and dare not disturb it."
"Guard Zong..." the Queen Mother snorted, "I have only been with the Queen for a few years, but I already think that I am half a master!"
Speaking of which, even if she goes to see him now, eight times out of ten she will say that the young master has fallen asleep or something.
I really don’t know what they have to fear.
Yes, what are they afraid of? "Guanshi Zong has been following Her Royal Highness the Queen," Li Tonggu said, "ever since I went to Luoyang. I heard that he even sent messages to the Queen several times and passed through the Wei State that was fighting against our army, but he was unscathed. I must have said. He’s also a smart guy.”
Some words may sound like compliments, but if you smack them carefully, you can taste something else.
"After following you for so long..." the Queen Mother said slowly, "Then you are very familiar with the Wei royal family."
"I don't know about this, Wei Chen." Li Tonggu sat quietly, watching the sunset light shine into the hall, and a clear light spread on the Queen Mother's forehead, making the face that had lost its youth look even more mean.
"I'm familiar with the royal family of Wei..." The Queen Mother murmured to herself, already determined about this matter.
"Maybe there are some benefits to be gained, so why are you taking care of the young master so carefully?"
Li Tonggu suddenly raised his head and reminded the Queen Mother before she could react: "Your Highness, be careful what you say."
There was tension in his voice, but it brought the Queen Mother back from her thoughts and focused on these words.
Although he received benefits from Wei State, he carefully guarded the young master of Yong State.
So, what is the identity of the young master?
This idea was too unbelievable, and when she realized something was wrong, the Queen Mother turned pale, pulled away and smiled.
"Look at the Ai family, they are so confused and confused. Li Tingwei, please don't laugh at me."
"How could it be?" Li Tonggu saluted, "Wei Chen is a minister of my Great Yong Court, and he is dedicated to assisting King Dayong. The things that the Queen Mother is worried about are naturally the things that Wei Chen is worried about."
"Are you... worried too?" the Queen Mother asked tentatively.
When absurd ideas meet a confidant, the temporary speculation becomes more certain.
Li Tonggu nodded cautiously.
"Wei Chen has heard too many rumors in the streets. But Wei Chen thinks that His Majesty is wise and virtuous and will never be deceived."
"Why not?" The Queen Mother interrupted Li Tonggu, "You don't know him. He will believe Jiang when he says the sun rises from the west!"
The hall fell into stasis for a while.
The Queen Mother had no intention of drinking tea, and Li Tonggu sat still like a puppet.
He didn't need to say anything else.
His target is Jiang He.
As long as this woman can be removed from the Yong Kingdom and she can no longer influence the king's judgment, any method is acceptable.
Even if this method is stained with the blood of innocent children.
The Queen Mother will never allow the royal bloodline to be tarnished, and will never allow Jiang He to inherit the throne with someone else's illegitimate son.
All Li Tonggu could do was light a fire.
A fire of suspicion and suspicion.
"Wei Chen, please leave." When Li Tonggu stood up and left, it took the Queen Mother a long time to react and raised her hand to him.
"Li Tingwei," she said coldly, "there is something wrong with the Ai family, and I want to trouble you."
By the time Jiang He came back, it was too late.
The conversation in Da Zheng Palace was spread intentionally or unintentionally by someone.
The rumors that had been silent since Su Yu regained control of the Weiwei Army became rampant again.
Counting the days, the king will not be back for another half month.
And this half month has been too difficult.
In the duty room where the chamberlains were resting, Zong Jun walked out, followed by Li Wenzhou, the chamberlain chief.
"Thank you for your hard work."
He turned around and cupped his hands to Li Wenzhou.
"It's also hard to be in charge of the sect."
Li Wenzhou returned the gift.
The two people's eyes collided, and they felt sorry for each other for a , the somewhat weak mood only lasted for a moment, and then suddenly turned into determination and loneliness.
They once accompanied the king and experienced hardships in the Six Kingdoms.
Whether it's assassination or fighting, he never bows to the evildoers.
They also accompanied the monarch to deal with the chaos of his old ministers after he succeeded to the throne.
Watch the blood stain the government and the public, and weed out the traitors and traitors.
Nowadays, those people should not think that just because one of them is old and the other is disabled, they can act unscrupulously.
Under their eyes, in the palace belonging to the king, they do things that are not beneficial to the master.
They have to strike first before the opponent attacks.
Li Wenzhou looked at Zongjun's leaving figure.
Others may think that the figure is limping and weak.
But in Li Wenzhou's heart, that figure was as hard and loyal as a mountain.
"Master, my apprentice is here to bring you some cakes."
The voice of his apprentice Zhao Gao came from behind. Li Wenzhou's expression was slightly stern. When he turned around, he was already as warm as the wind.
The silence of the Yongwang Palace was broken at night by a scream.
"Go away!"
The guards who were patrolling the night were the first to notice the thick smoke. When they ran to the palace, they saw the fire spreading to the west by the wind.
For a time, the entire palace was alarmed.
The Langzhong Lingjun and the Guardsmen were busy putting out the fire, and the palace servants were also those who were still dreaming had to get up and get dressed to prevent the fire from spreading out of control.
Fortunately, the location of the fire was close to the residence of the inner palace servants and far away from the nobles.
"Cuiping Palace is burned down!"
"Oops, the Cauldron Wind Pavilion has been burned!"
"Quickly put out the fire!"
The news that kept coming in made the Queen Mother furious.
It was early morning, and although His Majesty was not in Kyoto, these courtiers did not dare to take a break for a day.
As soon as the fire started, the alarmed courtiers ran over, looking more panicked than if their own homes had been burned.
"You can't burn the Dingfeng Pavilion!" Feng Jie shouted, "There are government documents there. Weichen, Weichen will fight to the death to snatch them out!"
As he said this, he was about to get into the fire, but was pulled by everyone.
If you hold me back, you won't get in. After all, life is more important than things.
But Feng Jie didn't go in, but someone ran out of the fire scene.
He covered his mouth with a wet cloth, his body was very low, holding a thick booklet in one arm, and his robe was on fire, almost reaching his neck.
Everyone worked hard to put out the fire for him, but the man lay on the ground, too tired to get up.
Turning over and wiping his face, he recognized who it was.
The chief chamberlain, Li Wenzhou.
Fortunately, he was not burned to death and his injuries were not serious.
But, what is he holding?
The fire became smaller and the Queen Mother finally came over.
It would be fine if they were burned somewhere else, but many of the documents and materials stored in Dingfeng Pavilion were related to the royal family.
It would be fine if someone else rescued things from the fire, but it happened to be Li Wenzhou, the head chamberlain.
"Boss, you are not young anymore, why are you so reckless!"
The Queen Mother reproached with concern.
"I don't know what precious and valuable things are in the Dingfeng Pavilion, but the chamberlain has been responsible for keeping the rolls that record the monarch's daily life, and they are kept here. Today there was a fire, and I was afraid that the rolls would be damaged, so I risked my life to snatch them. out."
"It's just a daily expense," the Queen Mother shook her head, "How can it be more important than your life?"
"I beg your pardon to speak frankly," Li Wenzhou endured the severe pain and stood up, kowtowing. "Perhaps the villain wants to burn this living room to make Her Majesty the Queen Mother doubt the blood of the young master."
The fire caused a beam to fall.
A loud "dong" sound fell into everyone's hearts.
