"Even here, Shen Bo was deceived. But then when we got into the car at the east gate, Zhu Chengyi tricked him into leaving the car quietly. How could he not be suspicious? What's more, how could he leave quietly?" Shen Zang Feng snorted, "You must know that Xuan Jiawei has been waiting outside the east gate. This statement was just made by Shen Bo. There is no evidence at all! Even though there was no time to verify it at the time... But what made the ministers choose to believe it was not others. Yes, Shen Bo himself is at the east gate with the King of Han!"
The subjects are not fools. To put it bluntly, the emperor and his ministers did not get along well with each other before. Shenbo, the ostracized emperor, failed to seize power several times. How could he not feel resentful in his heart? Even if the king and his ministers got along well with each other before, at this critical moment of life and death, who knows that Mingjun would not sell his ministers to save his own life
The reason why the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty and the numerous common people all crowded towards the east gate was because there was said to be a Holy Driver escorted by Xuanjia Guards outside the gate.
No matter where Shen Bo learned the news about Xuan Jiawei and kept it secret, no matter whether the news was true or false, he took his eldest son through the east gate, so the east gate must have the greatest potential, right
This was the thought of everyone who took the east gate to break out.
Therefore, the carriages in which Shen Bo and Han Wang Shen Lang were riding were the most closely watched. In full view of the public, if Shen Bo was found to get out of the car quietly and leave - it wouldn't be Zhu Chengyi's group's turn to kidnap him. The subjects gathered at the east gate would be able to tear him into pieces!
Although Shen Bo was not extremely shrewd, he would definitely not do or even try such a stupid thing. Because once it fails, the consequences will be disastrous!
Therefore, it must be a lie to say that after scolding Queen Han at the east gate, Zhu Chengyi tricked her into getting out of the car and was kidnapped...
Wei Changying was stunned when he heard this and said, "Then what is the truth?" No wonder she was not smart enough to think of such a joint. It was true that Pei Yu and Gu Xinian were concerned about their families. They were emotional during the interrogation, and they couldn't hold back during the torture. Maybe it was a little intentional. As an emperor, Shen Bo was delicate and expensive, so he was interrogated only a few times. He was beaten to death in a darkroom...
He also had a death wish during his lifetime, and deliberately provoked Shen Shujing in public, scaring Wei Changying, who was worried about his two sons, to death. The aunt and nephew only watched the interrogation once, and they both fell ill because of the bad news Shen Bo said about the breakout. When they calmed down and wanted to ask again, Shen Bo had already buried everything.
At that time, Wei Changying's heart was tied to his two missing sons. It was too late to urge Mo Binwei to send more people to find out the whereabouts of her husband and sons. How could he be in the mood to think about East Gate and West Gate and the truth about the breakout? the truth
...Now that her husband had a clue, Wei Changying didn't bother to guess and asked directly.
Shen Zangfeng's face darkened and he said, "Shen Bo has never been to the east gate at all!"
He said these words so categorically that Guard Chief Ying couldn't help but retort: "But didn't you say before that Sixth Brother heard him scold the King of Han for lowering the car curtain?"
"That's right." Shen Zangfeng said calmly, "Even after Shen Bo boarded the car in the palace, some ministers raised the curtain of the car to confirm with their own eyes that it was him for an audience or to report. Otherwise, everyone is not stupid. , if the east gate is not particularly full of vitality, why not flee in all directions to be safer? But Shenbo said that Zhu Chengyi knew the news about Xuanjiawei's response in the twelfth lunar month of last year... Even if it was really only in the twelfth lunar month that he received the news, it would still be safer. It’s enough for him to make some arrangements.”
"For example, find a child who seems to be the same age as the King of Han, or find someone who can imitate Shen Bo's speech." Shen Zang's eyes flashed coldly, "There are also two carriages used when leaving the city. It’s not difficult, right? He took the King of Han to the carriage in public in the palace. At that time, everyone must have paid more attention to him than whether the person beside him was the real King of Han. Especially since the King of Han was young and had been raised in a deep palace, the subjects did not care about the King of Han. It’s not difficult to muddle through if you’re not familiar with it.”
"When the ministers see Shen Bo's father and son boarding the carriage with their own eyes, they may start to take notice of the carriage. And if Shen Bo had prepared an identical carriage, he would have set up a strategy to get rid of the contract." Shen Zangfeng said calmly. , "After all, each family was busy greeting their nephews at that time. Don't be distracted by Li Shu. How could they run to lift their curtains from time to time? What's more, most people thought they had confirmed it with their own eyes before! The carriage next The voice of Shen Bo was heard from time to time... Didn't everyone get a glimpse of the King of Han - the real King of Han, so who would suspect that the real Shen Bo had gone to another door? "
Wei Changying changed his expression and said: "Then Shen Bo slipped away to the north gate before going to the east gate? But I don't know whether Zhu Chengyi tricked him into doing this, or he himself had the intention of using our elders as bait?"
"I'm afraid it's both." Shen Zangfeng said cheerfully, "You think that when Shen Bo took over the throne, he still knew how to behave. Later, he became more and more dissatisfied with the autocratic power of the Grand Master and tried to take over the government again and again. But he didn't How can the Grand Master agree to the power of personal administration? How can he not have resentment in his heart? Moreover, even without these things, the royal family would not want to see the gentry prosper and the royal family decline. "
"The King of Han knelt on the back of his head before. Empress Dowager Deng did not trust the court and insisted on waiting for Xin Miao to arrive. According to Xin Miao, this move delayed the diagnosis and treatment, and the King of Han was very likely to become stupid..." Wei Changying bit hard. Lips, said, "But the legitimate son that Queen Wei is pregnant with will not be born until February this year. Is it because of this that Shen Bo simply gave up on his two sons, and even used his own eldest son as bait?" "
Shen Zangfeng's eyes were heavy and he said: "Two days ago, I found a chamberlain who used to serve Empress Dowager Deng. According to him, the reason why the King of Han was injured was because Shen Bo died of panic when he held him and handed him back to the wet nurse. The reason why Shenbo was so anxious and failed was because the Imperial Master and others had not reported the matter, so they ordered Xuanjiawei to leave the capital and go to Huo County to quell the rebellion. "
"So Shen Bo has even more reason to hate us and other nobles." Wei Changying whispered, "He thinks that the King of Han became stupid and it was us who caused it!"
Shen Zang's face was as dark as water, and he said calmly: "Of course he hates us... In the past, Emperor Huanzong liked to have fun and neglected government affairs. He lived in the harem for many years and indulged in sexual activities. Once he was free, he also wanted to take care of us and fight for their Shen family. People who manage the world?"
Wei Changying was stunned for a moment and said: "Those two brothers are so cruel! We have so many families... and there are still children who are ignorant of the world. Even the blood feud of several generations cannot leave a trace behind."
"The Wei Dynasty is declining, how can the descendants of the clan be so lucky? Especially since they are all princes." Shen Zangfeng said indifferently, "Both he is unable to turn the tide, and he lacks the virtue of self-examination. He rarely blames others and vents his anger on others. Take advantage of this opportunity. The fall of the imperial capital killed the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty. It not only avenged the previous inability to govern personally, but also provided an opportunity for the ministers to be depleted and no one to gain imperial power. Even though the king of Han was lost, the king of Han had already shown his foolishness. Even if he was his own son, , Shenbo doesn’t care anymore.”
There were no big fluctuations in his mood, but there was a lingering chill in his eyes as he said, "If it weren't for the incongruous timing, the evil these two people had done would never have been covered up... But even if the process was not made public, the Shen Xun and Gu family would still have to deal with it. It’s not difficult.”
Guard Chief Ying hesitated for a moment before reminding him, "But the fourth sister is destined to be that Gu Yan."
During this disaster in the imperial capital, both the prince-in-law Gu Wei and Gu Yan were lucky enough to survive. When they heard the news, the survivors of the Shen family breathed a sigh of relief.
Because Shen Zangning was not only engaged to Gu Yan, but the reason why she was promised to Gu Yan was because she fell into the water while swimming in a lake and was saved by Gu Yan himself, and the two of them were in skin-to-skin contact.
So if something happens to Gu Yan, even if the Shen family wants Shen Zangning to remarry someone else regardless of their dignity, no one from the famous family will want her - they can't afford to lose face - it's because she was touched openly by another man. He passed by and even carried the lady on board.
When mentioning his only sister, Shen Zangfeng's expression softened slightly, but in an instant he returned to indifference: "Then it depends on whether he knows what's interesting or not!"
The implication is that if Gu Yan's response cannot satisfy him, his identity as Shen Zangning's fiancé cannot protect him.
Even Wei Changying didn't understand Gu Yan, and he couldn't answer anything at this moment.
However, Shen Zangfeng had no intention of stopping the topic and continued: "Eleven speculated that the brothers Shen Bo and Shen Xun should be Shen Xun using Zhu Chengyi as a chess piece to instigate Shen Bo to trick the subjects of the imperial capital to go to the east gate, and even pretended to be foolish. The King of Han diverted most of the pursuing troops so that he could escape through the north gate. Shen Bo thought that this plan would also greatly weaken our noble clan, but he didn't know that when he planned it, he also fell into Shen Xun's plan. Only then would he be hijacked by those servants."
"Shen Xun is drunk and dreaming in Hengzhou now. It is not difficult to kill him. But if he does such a thing, it would be too easy for him to be killed with just one knife." Wei Changying thought of his two aunts, and thought of those who were in their youth. Cousins, thinking of the two young nephews who have not learned to call aunt or aunt for a long time... I felt sad and said in a sour voice.
"Of course he and the Shen Bo brothers can't repay this debt." Shen Zangfeng said calmly, "The entire Shen family will repay it for them."
In fact, Fuzuo of the Great Wei Dynasty was almost gone. Once the country fell, as the former royal family, the Shen family could not avoid this disaster at all. Coupled with the revenge of the noble clan, one can imagine the fate of the Shen family.
However, no matter how cruel the torture is to the enemy, it will never be able to bring back the deceased's life.
Wei Changying was stunned for a moment and said: "There is another thing because I came here to find you today, but I almost forgot. I heard people said that you are worried about the army's food and grass these days. Since the Yanzhou granary was burned down, there is no place in the north." If you don’t have warehousing, why not look to the land of plenty in the south for ideas?”
"I also told Eleven about this two days ago." Shen Zangfeng nodded slightly, "I was planning to write to my father-in-law and mother-in-law for help."
What he said aroused Wei Changying's homesickness again: "I don't know how my father and mother are doing now."
"After my father-in-law has recovered from his chronic illness, I think everything should be peaceful now." Shen Zangfeng was silent for a moment before saying.
Wei Changying thought of what happened to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, so he stopped talking about his parents - no matter how much he missed her, he couldn't abandon her husband and son and go back to Fengzhou to meet each other, so he had better not mention the sadness.
The couple chatted some more about daily chores. Wei Changying saw that it was getting late and that although Chuncao Lake was close to the imperial capital, the carriage still had to travel for half a day, so he stopped talking and proposed to go back.
At this time, housing in the imperial capital was tight, otherwise the female family members would not have been arranged to stay in other courtyards outside the city. In addition, it was difficult to live together during the mourning period, so Shen Zangfeng did not stop him and sent someone to Shen Lengkun's place to call Shen Shuguang back. He personally led him to the car and hugged him into the car.
After the carriage walked for a while on the long street, Wei Changying raised the curtain and looked back, only to see her husband, dressed in plain clothes, standing at the place where he boarded the carriage with his hands behind his back, still looking this way. Even if you were far away and couldn't clearly see the expression on his face, you could still feel the lingering look in his eyes.
"For one reason or another, we are always separated, and we don't know when it will end?" Wei Changying put down the car curtain and hugged his eldest son's shoulder, with a hint of bitterness in his heart, "It's hard for me to enjoy happiness before leaving the palace. Too much, have you always been homeless since you got married?"
After returning to the villa by Chuncao Lake listlessly, I got out of the car, but I heard the old servant on the door step up to tell me that an unexpected person was coming! (To be continued)
