Chapter 24 Chapter 24 Eliminate hidden dangers, follow the four princesses, mourn the death of friends, and report to Wu Junmen

Green Monkey broke into Zheng Chunyou's execution ground. He stood in the middle of the arena with his sword in his hand, and shouted loudly, "Grandpa Green Monkey has arrived under the imperial envoy. Zheng Chunyou, you dog official, come to pick him up soon?" Following the shouts, dozens of captains rushed through the crowd and stepped into the execution ground.The crowd surrounded a dignified woman and an imposing general.The general went straight to the execution platform, lifted Zheng Chunyou up and threw it on the ground, then turned back and said to the woman, "Princess, please ascend to your seat!" Paizi said without anger and prestige: "Zheng Chunyou, are you guilty?"

Zheng Chunyou lay on the ground, looked up, and saw four large characters engraved on the gold medal: "If I come here in person." He couldn't help but faint. "Ah, the emperor ordered the arrow!" He knew that it was all over, but he was unwilling to be captured just like this.He forced himself to calm down, raised his head and asked: "Forgive me for being rude, the imperial envoy is in Dagon Prefecture, and there is neither court post nor constitutional note. Only a gold medal is not enough to rely on. What's more, since ancient times , how can there be a woman who is an imperial envoy? It must be a wicked woman and a slave pretending to be an imperial envoy, intending to hijack the execution ground and plot evil." He became more and more energetic, and shouted at the servants in the audience: "Come on! , Take down this tricky woman pretending to be an imperial envoy and me!"

The yamen servants in the audience were still panicking, Zheng Chunyou had already received a crisp slap on the face.It was the general who beat him: "You dog slave, how dare you be so presumptuous. Listen, I am the general of the Shangzhu Kingdom who is on a tour by order, and the son-in-law of Heshuo's forehead, Yanling. Guard, Princess Heshuo Kong Sizhen! Still don't kneel down to pay homage?!" When he heard that the imperial envoys were Princess Heshuo and his wife, Zheng Chunyou was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground and couldn't get up again.The crowd who watched the excitement had long heard that there was a unique female guard in this dynasty. Who wouldn't want to take a look at the demeanor of the famous "Si Gege", the crowd immediately became commotion.But they didn't dare to push forward, they were just discussing in whispers, and the atmosphere on the execution ground suddenly reversed.The yamen servants brought by Zheng Chunyou, Kuaiban, and sword and axemen stood there in despair, not knowing what to do.But there was a spark of hope in the eyes of the pending prisoners.

This Heshuo princess with four characters, Kong Sizhen, is indeed of extraordinary origin.It turned out that at the beginning of the founding of the Qing Dynasty, in the war to pacify the south, because of their outstanding military achievements, there were originally four people who were named princes with different surnames, namely Pingxi King Wu Sangui, Jingnan King Geng Jingzhong, Pingnan King Shang Kexi, and Dingnan King. Wang Kong Youde.Because Kong Youde died in the last battle with the Ming army, and he had no son to inherit the throne, his generals were handed over to Sun Yanling for control.Kong Youde's daughter, Kong Sizhen, was adopted by the empress dowager at the time in the palace, and treated as her own daughter, and her favor was doubled.This Kong Sizhen, the tiger girl of the general gate, was brave and resourceful, but secretly fell in love with Emperor Shunzhi.Later, when Shunzhi became a monk, Kong Sizhen, feeling bitter, asked the Empress Dowager for permission to guard the cemetery for Shunzhi, and was named a first-class imperial guard.In Chinese, it is the four princesses.When the existing San Francisco was about to move and conspired to rebel, Kong Youde's old army was unstable and the generals were at odds.Among the two important generals, Ma Xiong is secretly colluding with Wu Sangui.As for Wang Yongnian, he was loyal to the court but at odds with Sun Tingling.In order to keep this important military force in Guangxi from being pulled over by the San Francisco, Kangxi issued an order to summon Sun Yanling and make him a general of the Shangzhu Kingdom.And the Empress Dowager came forward and pointed out that he was the son-in-law of Kong Sizhen, the princess of Sigegeheshuo, with the intention of pampering Sun Yanling and building his prestige.Recently, Kong Sizhen was asked to return to Guangxi with Sun Yanling in order to control her father Kong Youde's old ministry.Before Kong Sizhen left Beijing, Kangxi gave her a secret mission to visit the missing Wu Ciyou along the way.So, no matter how anxious Sun Yanling was.To return to Guangxi by land, Kong Sizhen insisted on going south along the canal by boat.After stopping the boat in Gunzhou, he happened to meet Qing Houer who had escaped from the government office. Kong Sizhen took Qing Houer back to the boat, asked about the situation, and found out that Zheng Chunyou had used dumb drugs to ruin Mr. The prisoners were executed at the same time, and then they brought Qing Hou'er and mixed in with the people watching the fun, trying to rob the execution ground and save Wu Ciyou and Li Yuliang.

Thirty-two death row prisoners waiting to be executed, seeing the imperial envoy taking down Zheng Chunyou, hoped to survive in their hearts, and they all shouted: "Imperial envoy, we have been wronged!" Kong Sizhen gave instructions to the guards: "Take them to come forward and answer." The prisoners were brought over and knelt in front of the stage, one by one rushing to tell their grievances first.Qing Hou'er ran to the front to identify them one by one, but Wu Ciyou and his master Li Yunniang were not there, so he hurried to report to the princess.Kong Sizhen pondered and said: "If there is no one here, he must have escaped. Let's investigate slowly." Then he called out to the audience: "Dai Liangchen!"

Dai Liangchen, the leader of Kong Sizhen's family, came out of the squad in response: "The servant is here!" "Pass down my order that Zheng Chunyou, as the magistrate, hastily killed innocent people without the approval of the imperial court. He will be executed immediately on the spot." "tie!" With a wave of Dai Liangchen's hand, two school captains came forward, carried Zheng Chunyou on their backs and left.But Qing Houji quickly rushed over: "Master Jun, don't get your hands dirty, give this kid to me." He said and grabbed Zheng Chunyou in the chest; "Dog, do you still recognize the young master? Forget it with your family's enemies and the country's enemies!" He cursed and stabbed Zheng Chunyou with his sword until he had finished telling Zheng Chunyou's crimes before stabbing Zheng Chunyou in the heart again, which ended the dog official's life.The people around were elated and applauded.

Kong Sizhen called the servants and secretary office staff in Gunzhou to him, and comforted them, telling them to perform their duties, guard the yamen, and wait for the new official: "I, Kong Sizhen, have always refused to kill innocent people without permission. Please show the token of the Son of Heaven to kill him. When you go back, you must protect the yamen and wait for the new official. I immediately wrote a note to the governor of Shandong and ordered him to send someone to the official case of Jiegun Prefecture. The thirty-two prisoners awaiting execution are still I want you to take it back to the yamen, guard it properly, and wait for someone sent by Shangxian to review the verdict."

When everyone saw that the imperial envoy was so fair and honest, and so gracious and mighty, who dared to be disrespectful, they knelt down and kowtowed and shouted: "Thank you princess for your kindness!" After Zheng Chunyou was dealt with, Kong Sizhen sent people to investigate outside Gunzhou City for three days, but they still couldn't find out the whereabouts of Wu Ciyou and Yunniang.Sun Yanling was in a hurry to return to Guangxi, and the princess also knew that rumors of troubles in San Francisco became more and more serious day by day.There are 60,000 soldiers under the father, and it is impossible to be without a leader for a long time.We had to decide to pull the anchor and set off immediately.In the past few days, Princess Heshuo liked Qinghou'er a lot because he saw that although he was young, he was good at martial arts, smart and lively, so she urged him to go south with him.At first, Qing Houer insisted on staying and looking for his master. Later, the princess said to him: "Your mother was sold to Guangzhou by the Zheng family. Follow me to the south, maybe we can find her?"

Only then did the green monkey move his heart, he ran to the shore, knelt down and cried out, "Master, it's not that I'm ungrateful, it's because the princess and aunt avenged me and wanted to help me find my mother, so I agreed to serve the princess." Yes. When I find my old lady, I will definitely come back to look for Master and Mr. Wu. Master, I bid farewell to you..." It was March and April in the eleventh year of Kangxi's reign when Kong Sizhen arrived in Guilin with the green monkey.Because it takes a long circle to walk by water.First go south along the canal to Guangling, change to a large ship at the Guazhou Ferry and go upstream, passing through Wuhu, Jiujiang, Wuhan, Yueyang, and not abandoning the boat until Chongqing.Going south again, you will enter the Hengduan Mountains.Here, there are high cliffs on the left, and flowing clouds and rushing water on the right; the old trees in the valley are intertwined and intertwined, and the twigs and vines are entwined; the stone road covered with moss is densely shaded; In the evening, the tiger roars and the monkey crows.The beautiful scenery of water and mountains has a gloomy and melancholy style in its beauty.The green monkeys who grew up on the Jianghuai Plain have opened their eyes.

However, as he walked forward, Kong Sizhen's heart became more and more heavy.The mountains and rivers here, every plant and tree can evoke memories in her heart.How could she forget?On the fourth day of July in the ninth year of Shunzhi, Guizhou City was captured by Li Dingguo.His father, Kong Youde, drank his sword and killed himself.The nurse took her and fled out at night.Hiding in the cave on the opposite mountain.Looking back, it seemed like it happened yesterday. Now, she, King Dingnan's daughter, Kong Sizhen, the adopted daughter of the Empress Dowager, has returned to Guangxi, and returned to the love of her father and king.What will be waiting for her?

Kong Sizhen glanced back, her husband Sun Yanling was riding on the horse, looking left and right, full of ambition, she couldn't help feeling an inexplicable worry in her heart.Sun Yanling is the favorite general of his father.After getting married, he was obedient in front of him.But he had a life-changing acquaintance with his subordinate general Ma Xiong, and Ma Xiong had a close relationship with Wu Shicong, Wu Sangui's grandson.At a critical moment, can you guarantee that your husband is on the side of the emperor? Even Dai Liangchen, the coat slave who has been with his father for many years, seems to be a little alienated from him recently.They were very well-behaved in the capital, but once they passed Chongqing Mansion, they seemed to change their temperament again, which was a bit unpredictable.Do they think that once they have military power in their hands, they can no longer listen to my orders? When Kong Sizhen returned to Guilin, she found that her worries were justified, and that the situation was much more serious than she had imagined on the way.Both Wang Yongnian and Ma Xiong were in charge of the Guilin garrison, and because they couldn't compete for the army's salary, they had already turned their faces. Sun Yanling's own thirteen assistants had two lieutenants, both of whom were in charge, although no trouble would arise.But he didn't dare to easily intervene in the battle between the two parts of Ma Wang.The governor of Guangxi is an old ministry that is still gratifying and favors Ma Xiong, while the governor of Guangxi is Xiong Cilu's protégé and protects Wang Yongnian.The two sides were at odds with each other, and it was rumored that Geng Jingzhong and Shang Shang's happy things happened from time to time, so Sun Yanling was busy as soon as he came back.In the past half a month, the governor, summoning people to discuss matters, deal with backlogs, and mediate the relationship between various ministries have been very busy, but he never told Kong Sizhen what happened outside. On this day, after dinner, the sky gradually became cloudy.Thick clouds held down low, and it was dark between the sky and the earth.Gusts of wind blew the big sycamore and kapok trees in the courtyard shaking constantly.Seeing that the heavy rain was coming, Kong Sizhen saw that Sun Tingling was going out again, so he stopped him: "Yanling, the weather is bad, do you still want to go out!" "Hey! I have to stabilize the situation here first - Geng and Shang are about to withdraw their feudal clans, we can't be stable here! When the weather is better, I'll play with you again - there are so many beautiful scenery here, why are you alone?" Xiufeng, Diecai Mountain, Elephant Trunk Mountain, Seven Star Rock..." "I don't want to listen to this. I want to meet with the generals. Call me." Sun Yanling smiled and said, "Oh, you don't need to worry about their petty troubles. It doesn't matter. I can Dispose! My princess is thousand years old, you can enjoy the honor in peace!" "Hmph, I don't have that blessing—you want to worship me as a bodhisattva? Don't forget, I am the princess of King Dingnan, and I also have an official position!" "Yes, I obey! My servant is waiting for Your Excellency Wei!" Sun Yanling made a playful face and walked away. " After dark, it began to rain outside, big and small for a while, beating the sycamore leaves and plantain leaves so that they cracked and slapped, and a gust of turbulent wind came in, blowing the window sash a few times. Close, lift up the curtains Lao Gao.Kong Sizhen suddenly felt panic and loneliness, and when he was waiting to close the window, he saw the green monkey running in with his bare feet all drenched in semen, and panting, "Auntie, what day is this? Get down!" Kong Sizhen said with a smile: "You haven't gone in and changed your clothes yet! Where have you gone to play wild? You're drenched like a chicken?" Qing Houer changed his clothes, sneezed and came out.Pushing the button, he said, "There are two people outside who want to see you, but the person at the door blocked them, saying that they would wait for the son-in-law to come back before reporting!" Anger suddenly rose in Kong Sizhen's heart: "Well, who is it?" "One is in his thirties, a short man with black bean eyes; the other is in his fifties, and his name is Fu or something—" "Fu Honglie!" "That's right, that's Fu Honglie, but the people at the door said that if the son-in-law doesn't come back, they can't come to see you." Kong Sizhen trembled.She fully understood that Sun Yanling really wanted to offer herself here as a bodhisattva!She stood up abruptly, walked to the window and shouted, "Who is there, the generals?" "The servant is here!" Someone in the rain answered.Kong Sizhen saw that it was also his own servant named Liu Chunliang, "Go to the door and send a message, please Master Fu and the others come in!" "Return to the master's words, Daitouer said, the visitor must see the forehead first..." "Bastard! What is Dai Liangchen? Tell the doorman, if you stop my guest without authorization, you will be killed immediately!" After saying that, he closed the window with a "bang". After a while, someone outside the door reported loudly. "My subordinate He Zhiming and Fu Honglie are meeting Princess Chitose!" Kong Sizhen got up to greet him, "My lords, please skip this ceremony and sit down quickly. Isn't this Mr. He from the Yungui Division of the Ministry of War? When did you come to Guilin?" "Your official, He Zhiming, came here on a business trip to Guizhou. He wanted to see the princess alone, and he had something important to report. Unexpectedly, he had to wait for seven days, and it was only now that he was lucky enough to come in to see her." A black bean eye, bright aggressively.Kong Sizhen heard Wei Dongting tell the story that he assisted Wu Liuyi, the admiral of the Nine Sects, to kill the Yamen General and went to the Ao Mansion alone to lobby.When I saw him today, he was indeed an extremely shrewd and capable person, "Hey, you are the officer of the Ministry of War, and you are awarded the title of servant, so what's the difficulty in meeting me?" Fu Honglie stood up and continued: "Princess, it is not difficult to see you, but it is difficult to see you alone. Tonight, the forehead and the others are having a drink with Wu Shicong and Wang Shirong in Juxian Building, so we took advantage of the time to ask to see the princess. .Some things should not be known to outsiders.” "What Juxian Tower, what Wu Shicong and Wang Shirong?" Kong Sizhen jumped up. He Zhiming giggled, "Princess, sit down!" Then he turned to Fu Honglie and said, "Master Fu, what do I think, the princess really doesn't know! Hehe, don't be alarmed, the princess. The princess will understand what happened to them in the future. I will come down today So, but for another matter—" He took out a torn piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Kong Sizhen, "Princess, this is a blood book, please read it!" Kong Sizhen took a page of blood-stained scraps of paper, shuddered in his heart, and said to the green monkey standing beside him, "Go to the door and watch!" There are not many words on the paper, but a lot of blood was used: I beg God to find out the death of her husband Wu Liuyi, the blood written by Wu Huang's weeping blood has turned purple.He Zhiming stepped forward to turn over the paper, but it was written in ink, but he couldn't read a sentence.He Zhiming explained: "Princess, this is a gift poem written by Mr. Wu Ciyou to Wu Junmen in the eighth year of Kangxi. As evidence, it can be seen that this blood book is indeed from Wu Junmen's home, and it is definitely not fake." Kong Sizhen didn't speak, her face was as expressionless as a stone carving. The rain outside became heavier, and there was a flash of lightning, shining brightly inside and outside the house, followed by another burst of thunder.Kong Sizhen's face was as pale as paper and he asked in a trembling voice: "It seems that General Wu Liuyi died unexpectedly? This, this is from... where..." Fu Honglie sighed: "Mr. Wu and his nanny are now in the lower government mansion, and two school captains who escaped are also there." "It's a pity that a generation of famous generals died at the hands of villains for no reason!" He Zhiming and the iron beggar Wu Liuyi were in and out of millions of troops, sitting in the city of Beijing, and there were many ups and downs.How many generous elegy.Unexpectedly, this famous general galloping on the battlefield was murdered to death as soon as he was reused by the emperor.At this moment, thinking of the scenes of the past, I couldn't help crying. "Who killed Wu Liuyi?" Kong Sizhen thought of her own situation, feeling sad, excited, and a little scared. "Shang Zhixin, and Ma Xiong and Dai Liangchen under Prince Kong's rule!" Fu Honglie said without hesitation.He Zhiming next to him flashed his gaze, and added: "Wang Shirong who will be drinking with my son-in-law tonight is also added!"
