Chapter 28 Thought or scheming

It was not until the hour of You, and the sky was already gray.Zhu Gaoxu looked at the scene outside the door. He clearly remembered that the sun had not set yet yesterday.

The sunny day that lasted for many days is probably coming to an end.The sky is covered with clouds, and it is just around the corner... However, the expected coolness has not arrived for a long time, and the sultry heat covers the entire world.

It may rain this day.Zhu Gaoxu said, Wang Gui, you will go to our place tonight. If it rains heavily, the road will be difficult to walk.

Wang Gui bowed and said: Yes, Prince.

At this moment, Du Qianrui came in with a white porcelain plate.Prince Ele. I have made some snacks. You should eat some food to cushion your stomach first.She lowered her head and placed the plate on the table.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't say a word.

The atmosphere became a little awkward. Wang Gui looked at the snacks on the plate and said in an exaggerated tone: The color looks so good!Miss Du is skillful and meticulous in her work. She is really considerate of the prince.

Zhu Gaoxu blurted out: I just don’t know whether it is the meticulous intention or the scheming?

As soon as he finished speaking, he clearly saw that Du Qianrui's shoulders shook slightly, and his whole body's breath softened a little, as if it was withered flowers.

In an instant, Zhu Gaoxu felt as if something had been stung in his chest, and he felt unpredictable pain.

Zhu Gaoxu endured it for a while before he could not habitually say words of comfort.

After all, Du Qianrui deceived him and had not admitted it actively, nor did he let go of his worries or worry about Du Qianrui betraying her... Or did she not think there was anything wrong at all?

At this time, Du Qianrui looked up at Zhu Gaoxu. Her eyes were red and she looked at the plate on the table again. Zhu Gaoxu had no intention of eating at all.

The servant left and took his leave.Du Qianrui said that her voice was not emotional, neither pleasing nor timid, as if she was narrating a boring trivial matter.

As usual, Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand gently and nodded in agreement.

……

……

King Yàn is crazy!

Suddenly, a news circulated among the crowd.

For many years, King Yàn was responsible for the northern military defense line of the Ming Dynasty. He had to shake a few times when he walked on his feet. What a person!

Such a person is crazy, but it’s a big deal!

Soon, the few most powerful people in the Peking government, the governor and the commander-in-one from the left and right, came to visit the Yàn palace together.

It was late June and the weather was very hot and the few people were sweating all over, their vests were wet, and they wanted to strip naked and walk naked.But when they saw King Yàn, they were shocked.

King Yàn was wrapped in two quilts, and a stove was placed in front of him. He curled up in the quilt, tightening the corners of his hands, sweating heavily while trembling all over, muttering: Cold, so cold...

Seeing this, the three of them looked at each other.

They left the Yàn palace and discussed it and immediately sent the news to the capital.

In the afternoon of the same day, the servant of the commander Zhang Xin reported a news that he had seen the chief of the Prince Yàn's mansion go to the yamen of the governor.After hearing this, Zhang Xin muttered in his heart, unable to help speculating on the inside story.

The chief minister is named Ge Cheng... a chief minister of the royal palace, is it necessary to interact with the governor and the governor?Zhang Xin thought that Ge Cheng had been to the capital as an envoy of King Yàn before, so had he rebelled against the court?

Zhang Xin suddenly remembered the embarrassing experience two days ago. Visiting prostitutes was not a glorious thing, and he actually only wore pants to meet someone, which was very unpleasant.

However, now when I think of my suspicion for Ge Cheng, I feel that the place where I visit prostitutes is very secret and I will not be suspicious of others.

...The wind blew in Peiping, and if it didn't blow, it would be gone. When it blows, it would be like flying sand and rocks!

The dust on the street, mixed with leaves and rags, flew around in the air. Pedestrians covered their sleeves, covered their mouths and noses, and buried their heads and walked away.

Ghost weather!When people walk in such weather, they are eager to walk and go into the house to hide, and their pace is much faster than usual.

There are running and strodes on the street, and there is a scene of rushing and no longer the leisurely steps you usually have.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and layers of black balls surged in the sky, pressing down very low, making people feel very suffocating.

When Ge Cheng walked into the study of the governor Zhang Bing, he first slapped the dust on his body, took out a handkerchief and covered his mouth and nose and vomited several times. The dust was too big.

Is Ge Changshi safe?Zhang Bing has a higher official position, but he took the initiative to greet him.

Ge Cheng bolted the door with his backhand and came forward and whispered: King Yàn pretends to be crazy!

Ah?Zhang Bing stared at her eyes and hurriedly came over.

Ge Changshi said: In a hot day, Tang Zun thought how long can King Yàn cover the quilt last?As soon as you left, he lifted his back.

Zhang Bing nodded immediately, looking deeply convinced.

Ge Changshi said again: The officials were unable to participate in their conspiracy, mainly because the monk Yao Guangxiao was giving advice, and the strange wise and wise alchemists recommended by Yao Guangxiao to King Yàn, Yuan Gong who judged the matter, and Jin Zhong who taught the divination... But the officials were sure that they had made up their minds to rebel!

Zhang Bing's expression suddenly became shaking.

Ge Changshi's voice continued: King Yàn pretended to be crazy, just to numb the court, he planned and prepared his own goal behind his back and took the initiative!

Zhang Bing didn't say anything, he moved very quickly, and took two steps at the same time, rushing straight to the desk.

He didn't even have time to sit down, so he reached out and grabbed the brush on the pen holder, held the brush in his right hand and dipped it back and forth quickly on the inkstone, and a piece of white paper was spread out with his left hand.

Then there was only rustling in the room... the rapid friction sound of the pen and rice paper.

After Zhang Bing finished writing, he picked up the rice paper, his head swayed slowly, and the air in his mouth blew onto the paper from right to left.He blew a few times, turned around and said: Now!Eight hundred miles of express delivery to the capital!

...After four days and four nights, the messenger fell asleep at the door of the Tongzheng Envoy Department and leaned against the wall. He was covered in dust, like a beggar who was living under someone else's roof.

Huang Zicheng had already received the emergency report and immediately walked quickly towards the Imperial Gate.

The sky flashed suddenly, and a flash of lightning flashed across the towering Fengtian Gate Tower, like a lightsword that was about to split the huge tower into two petals.

Huang Zicheng was worried, and a moment later, there was a loud bang, and he was trembling all over, shocked.

Huang Zicheng subconsciously raised his head to look at the sky, and immediately narrowed his eyes into a slit, unable to open his eyes in the wind.The sky was dark, and it was broad daylight, but it seemed as if it was about to get dark.

The strong wind blew Huang Zicheng's robe against his skin. He reached out to hold the hat, for fear that the black hat would be blown away and would be out of protection.The wind was very strong, and the entire imperial city seemed to be shaking and almost falling.

Boom!There was another loud bang, and the rough and raging lightning thunder was speechless. They were willing to indulge in the world. The strange tail of lightning was exposed, and they were polite and swept the floor!

As soon as Huang Zicheng entered the Imperial Gate, raindrops as big as beans suddenly crackled down and splashed on the floor tiles. Soon the sky was shrouded in the white wind and rain.

He met the eunuch Wu Zhong, and accompanied by the eunuch, he entered the imperial gate to meet him.

Huang Zicheng paid a visit to the emperor and submitted an urgent report.

Emperor Zhu Yunwen immediately asked someone to visit Xuanqitai and other ministers to discuss urgent matters!

It was raining heavily outside, but at this time, even if you put a knife on it, Qi Tai and others would have to come over immediately!

Huang Zicheng's body was not wet by the rain, but his temples were messy and had no time to comb.

When Qi Tai came in, Qi Tai was not so lucky. The lower half of the red robe was wet, and even the umbrella could not cover the violent rain.

Qi Tai still went forward to salute first.

Huang Zicheng said: Master, things have become like this. I am afraid that the strategic steps I plan must start early.

Zhu Yunwen said in an angry voice: King Yàn is so brave!

Perhaps Qi Tai's clothes were wet, but seeing Huang Zicheng's whole body was a little unbalanced.

Qi Tai's face was very unhappy and turned to look at Huang Zicheng: Are we really ready to fight?Huang Siqing, have you ever seen a sword and gun battle formation?

Huang Zicheng said: Maybe not...

After he said that, he bowed to the superiors: Master, I have already planned it properly, and now I have to follow the steps and do what I expected, and it is just a while before the opportunity is ahead.

Zhu Yunwen above issued an unspecified tone.

Huang Zicheng said: Without further ado, the envoy Deng Yong was still living in the ritual hall of the clan mansion. I asked for an order and immediately took down Deng Yong with the imperial guards and asked him to confess that King Yàn's rebellion!

At this time, Qi Tai said: I think that I can skip this matter for the time being and respond to my colleagues in Peking first...

Huang Zicheng frowned and said: In what name?In the Ming Dynasty, the country and the country, there will be great righteousness first and then there will be achievements!Haven’t we discussed these steps?

Zhu Yunwen said in his voice: Then he followed the news from Huangsi.He was silent for a long time and said: You guys go down and do it, let it go and start doing it!

It was daytime, and there was no light inside the Imperial Gate, but the light was dim and dark at this time. Suddenly, the wide and grand Imperial Gate seemed to become gloomy.

...The first person to be imprisoned was Deng Yong. Before he could figure out what was going on, he went to prison and was beaten up.

Deng Yong first shouted for justice and tried his best to question him, but no one told him what was going on, and then he was blocked.The jailer just beat him up to death.

In the dark prison, the fire swayed and flickered, and screams echoed in the hazy place.

Finally it calmed down, and the stuff that was blocked in Deng Yong's mouth was pulled out, but he was no longer able to shout.

He raised his head with difficulty and spitted blood. At this time, he heard a burst of rapid footsteps from far to near.

A red-robed official silently grabbed Deng Yong's torn clothes and wiped it on his right hand a few times.

Then Guan'er grabbed his right thumb and poked it in a cold box, then pressed it on a piece of paper.

After Guan'er finished these trivial matters, he took the person he accompanied and quickly left again without saying a word.Still no one spoke.

The jailer who beat Deng Yong also walked away, leaving only Deng Yong locked there.Until now, he still hasn't figured out...

What exactly happened?
