However, this hidden sweet reverie was quickly suppressed by the cruel reality of fear, suppressing all the questions, and then calmly said: "Master Ma, there is no need to be polite."
Ma Sudan saw that she was obviously haggard these days, thinking it was due to restlessness day and night, and bowed again: "Princess, please don't worry, I will go through fire and water to ensure the health of the Queen Mother and you."
The two of them did not look strange, and Zhai Ruwen did not notice the subtle situation between the two. When he saw Ma Su leaving in a hurry, he immediately sent a message and informed the Queen Mother of Miao Liu's whereabouts.
He already understood that Miao and Liu had no clever countermeasures, and what he had to consider now was how to protect himself, the Queen Mother, the princess, and the Zhao royal family in the palace.
The three of them exchanged glances, and Tianwei said: "These days, the slave family has searched almost all the streets and alleys of the imperial city, but there is no truly safe hiding place."
"I will disperse the family members and clear things up when the time comes. The Queen Mother and Princess will be ready in advance."
Everyone knew that they were preparing to escape, and they couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.
As soon as Miao and Liu left the palace, they began to murmur. They were frightened by Yue Pengju and others' revolt, and they had no clever countermeasures. In nervousness, Miao Fu spoke first: "Should I go and ask the Lord?"
Liu Zhengyan said: "It has to be like this."
Immediately, the two of them agreed that Fu Miao should still go to see the Lord.
He came to the secret room as usual, but after waiting for a long time, there was still no news from the messenger. He was surprised when he heard a messenger say: "Master Miao, the Lord has something to do today, you don't need to delay."
"I'm in a hurry."
"You tell me and I will convey it to you."
Miao Fu was anxious. At such a critical moment, if he didn't get instructions, he would be completely unable to operate.
At the other end, in the splendid hall, the geishas were still playing, and the dancers' soft figures were still swinging their flowing sleeves, flying into the sky. However, the people watching in the middle were gone, and instead they were in a room full of people. In a closed secret room.
The personal guard took out an urgent document. The Jurchen script on it was very scrawled. It seemed that the person who wrote it was in a very urgent mood at the time. It turned out that the newly appointed Wolf Lord, He Ci, had a drastic change in his temperament and his desire for power was extremely ardent. He successively deposed several meritorious officials, and killed nine other princes or clan princes besides Zong Han, as well as ten ten thousand captains. Countless people were implicated. Especially Zong Han, who was relieved of his military power and guarded the imperial palace. After the stronghold, he was poisoned to death. He Ci even personally issued an edict to the puppet emperor of the Qi Dynasty, ordering him to officially be called the "Sub-Emperor", fully submit to He Ci's jurisdiction, and accept He Ci's grace. These things almost happened Within a month, he was so quick and efficient that it could only be accomplished by a teenager, but by a monarch with great talent and sagacity.
The man sitting at the desk was dressed in white, with a silk and jade belt, and a graceful demeanor. At this time, his face turned pale with anger, and he suddenly stood up: "How dare He Ci do such a random thing? Who ordered him? Besides, Liu Yu I am the emperor who established him, so why is it that He Ci is now under his authority without any consultation?"
"Fourth Prince, please calm down..." Here, he had been asking everyone to call him "Young Master". However, in a hurry, not only the guards forgot, but he also forgot. He just waved the parchment and said angrily: "He Ci is so violent at such a young age?"
"The little wolf master was taught by the Han minister Yu Wenxuzhong and his stepfather. Could it be these two people's idea?"
"His stepfather is the third prince. The third prince has always been as timid as a mouse and has no ideas. How could he make such a decision? Not long after Yu Wenxuzhong arrived in the Jin Kingdom, although he was respected as a national teacher, his foundation was not stable. How could such a plan be made?”
Almost with lightning speed, he swept away all the major forces and wiped out all the major forces regardless of their factions. He felt cold in his heart. He was only fifteen or sixteen years old. He was so cruel at such a young age. If he were not in the Song Dynasty, who could say for certain what would have happened? What force is behind him
Having said that, he had seen with his own eyes the imperial techniques that Yu Wenxuzhong taught He Ci. After he ascended the throne, he immediately removed the discussion bed that had been used by two generations of wolf lords, demonstrating his emperor's "me-only" attitude. .
If he is allowed to "dominate" like this, who will be the next one to have surgery
Although half of the powerful officials who were killed were political opponents, it was inevitable that the rabbit would die and the fox would be sad, especially Zong Han. His acting style was vicious and sophisticated. How could he be poisoned to death so easily
What kind of informant is behind He Ci
"Fourth Prince, what should we do now?"
… …
The situation in the Song Dynasty is unclear, and Miao and Liu are not powerful, and the army they can control is only 30,000 people. Now, Lu Yihao has issued a revolt and raised troops to serve the king, and Miao and Liu are simply not strong enough to resist.
He looked at the secret letter again, and added a sentence in it, saying that during the civil strife in Jin, Song Huizong's beloved son King Xin, who was originally imprisoned in the desolate Five Kingdoms City of Dajin, escaped.
King Xin was born to Concubine Qiao, the most favored concubine of Song Huizong. Originally, he wanted to make King Xin the crown prince in private. Fortunately, when Jingkang arrived, he had to let his eldest son Song Qinzong ascend the throne. Now that King Xin has escaped, although it is not a good idea, it is not Information is, after all, a major hidden danger.
He pondered for a while and said, "Immediately order the Miao and Liu men to garrison troops in the towns around Lin'an to intercept Yue Pengju's army."
"Then what do we do?"
"Change the plan. Whether it succeeds or not, you can blame it on the puppet Qi Liu Yu."
"Are you afraid that Zhao Deji will surround and suppress Liu Yu?"
"It would be a good thing to completely eliminate Liu Yu."
Anyway, He Ci has placed all Liu Yu's regime within his sphere of influence. It would be a great thing if he could weaken it. The situation in the Kingdom of Jin is so chaotic. If he doesn't go back at this time, he is afraid that his sphere of influence will not be affected. No matter what you become, you can never lose the big for the small.
"Fourth Prince, if this happens, won't all your hard work be in vain?"
He smiled mysteriously: "In vain? Haha, only by taking a long-term approach can you catch big fish. A short-term rush for quick success cannot build an eternal legacy. This time, it was just right."
In the previous wars between the Song and Jin Dynasties, the Zhao family had a clan general who gradually gained support. Coupled with King Xin who had returned from escaping, even if Zhao Deji was deposed, Miao and Liu would not have a stable foundation. Fortunately, this time If you do this, you can eradicate the forces you want to eradicate step by step. Once the obstacles are completely cleared, why worry about the big thing
In the secret room, there were screams one after another. The whip fell on the snow-white body one after another.
Wang Junhua was sitting on a chair, admiring the red marks on her snow-white skin. The whipping was not too severe, it was thin and did not cause injury or disability, but only caused pain. She was already in her thirties, and the skin on her body had already been damaged. It was not as smooth and shiny as when she was a girl, and began to show signs of drooping and sagging. In addition, during this period of time, the "gongzi" refused to "moisten it with rain and dew". She half thought that she had not met the requirements of the young man, and the other half was not aware of it. See, what the young master admires more is those wonderful youthful bodies of sixteen or seventeen years old.
Although Wanwan is not one of them, she is the one she can torture the most to vent her anger. This damn little girl dares to expose her shortcomings repeatedly in front of Zhao Deji and other concubines.
Especially, Hua Rong was not fooled this time.
She whipped it with her own hands and smiled happily, feeling very satisfied: "You little bitch, Hua Rong didn't come to save you. If she didn't come, you would die without a burial place..."
Wanwan's teeth were almost broken. She heard that Hua Rong arrived at the agreed place, but saw through the trick and ran away. Although her body was in pain, she felt happy. If Hua Rong was caught, she would probably suffer even more than herself.
She looked at the devil-like monster sitting in the huge black robe over and over again. She once thought it was Wang Junhua, but his voice and walk didn't sound like it. Moreover, she would never dare to say it. If it was really Wang Junhua, she would recognize her. , fearing that she would die faster, she just cursed loudly: "Witch, where did you come from? What grudge do I have against you?"
"Bah? You little bitch, what qualifications do you have to have a grudge against me?"
"Why did Sister Hua offend you, a temptress?"
"It was her husband who offended others, not her. This bitch will die naturally if she follows Yue Pengju..."
"You are the bitch..."
Wang Junhua became angry and hit her on the chest with a whip. Wanwan screamed. Wang Junhua suddenly heard a sharp whistle outside. She hurriedly put down the whip and went out. The stone door closed heavily.
At the door, the young man in white clothes and jade belt looked angry: "Wang Junhua, what are you doing?"
Wang Junhua rarely saw such an angry look on his face, and he knelt down anxiously: "What mistake did the slave family make? Please make it clear..."
"You failed again in sending people to do things, leaving clues behind and causing endless trouble."
Wang Junhua was horrified: "The slaves ordered by the slave family are all dead soldiers raised by Qin Hui, and they will never leave any clues."
He snapped: "Then why not succeed?"
"Who wants Yue Pengju to come with her? Yue Pengju raised troops in Jiangping, and the overall situation is at stake. Who would have thought that he would accompany Hua Rong, a bitch, for his own personal interests regardless of the overall situation... "
"I told you not to be meddlesome, but you did. There was no need to arrest Hua Rong, but you acted selfishly and ruined my plan."
When Wang Junhua heard his harsh words and scolding, he felt very unwilling and cried: "The slave family also thinks about the young master. Is this bitch Hua Rong really that good?"
"How dare you contradict me?"
Seeing the anger burning in his eyes, Wang Junhua kowtowed as if he was pounding garlic: "I don't dare, I don't dare, I will ask for the punishment myself..." The two guards at the door responded, lashing their whips left and right, and she received two heavy blows on her body.
With only two blows, the guard was immediately ordered to stop. Small punishments and big warnings are the way to control people.
Wang Junhua crawled over, hugged his thigh and cried bitterly, "The slave family thinks of the young master wholeheartedly, but they don't want other women to be more important than the slave family in the young master's heart..."
"Next time if you dare, you will be severely punished!"
"I will never dare to disobey any more orders."
He was very upset, but he suppressed his anger and only said: "Yue Pengju is smarter than others. I did all this to protect you. Otherwise, ten Hua Rong will also be killed."
Wang Junhua was overjoyed and suddenly remembered that Hua Rong had long been Yue Pengju's wife. It was conceivable that the fourth prince had hated married women since the Yelu Guanyin incident. He thought he was thinking of Hua Rong, so wasn't he himself? Looking for a fight? Thinking of this, he was ecstatic about the two whippings he received and laughed: "Thank you, sir. I will definitely be careful about my actions in the future."
