Chapter 18 Prequel to Empress Dowager Cixi (8-2)

While he was hesitating like this, King Gong had already spoken first, "Inform the two empress dowagers," he said, "I have been sent to deliver the decree, and I have a heavy responsibility. There is a saying that you must first ask the two empress dowagers for instructions. If Zaiyuan and Duanhua , Sushun and others who do not follow the edict, what should be done?" When the Empress Dowager Cixi heard this, she opened her eyes wide and asked menacingly, "Do they dare to stay here?" "Just now when the ministers were summoned, Zaiyuan wanted to stop him, saying 'the queen mother should not summon foreign ministers'."

"Isn't this a rebellion?" The Empress Dowager Cixi instructed decisively: "If this is the case, you must be dismissed and questioned." Grasping this sentence, Zhou Zupei hurriedly replied, "The empress dowager is wise!" This was an expression of agreement with the Empress Dowager's proposition, and the Empress Dowager Cixi immediately said to Prince Gong: "Then draw up another edict! Is Cao Yuying here? Write an edict right away." "Cao Yuying didn't dare to enter the palace without being summoned, let Wenxiang write the decree." King Gong then said: "Sushun followed Zigong, has passed Qingshiliang, and is about to arrive in Miyun. I ask the two empress dowagers to issue an decree." , Prince Renshou of Pai Rui, and Prince Chunjun Yilin captured Sushun and escorted him to Beijing."

"Okay. Let's write an edict together!" So Wen Xiang withdrew from the East Nuan Pavilion, borrowed a pair of pens and inkstones from the eunuch in the corridor of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, wrote the decree of Nawen Zaiyuan and others, re-entered the palace, and presented the draft. After reading it, the Empress Dowager Cixi stamped the stamp of "Tongdaotang" at the end of the paper, and while explaining the decree to the Empress Dowager Ci'an, she took the stamp of "Imperial Reward" from her and stamped it on it.After completing this most important procedure, it was handed over to Prince Gong.

When Kneeling An retreated, King Gong held three decrees in his hand, and returned to the military aircraft. Zaiyuan and Duanhua had already heard the news that the queen mothers of the two palaces were crying when they summoned the ministers. They guessed that there must be decrees, but they didn't know what the content was ?When I was in doubt and fidgeting, I heard the sound of boots, looked out the window, and happened to see the document in Prince Gong's hand. Duanhua couldn't hold his breath, and wanted to greet him first to ask what happened, but Zaiyuan grabbed him and winked, which meant he wanted to pretend he didn't know and just wait and see.

So Duanhua sat down again, just as he took out the snuff bottle, he heard Prince Gong asking loudly outside: "Where are the guards at the Qianqing Gate?" This was originally arranged, just after a shout, a group of guards came in from the Longzong Gate, greeted Prince Gong together, and stood in silence with their hands down. He took a decree from his hand and raised it: "Listen carefully, here is the decree: Zaiyuan, Duanhua, and Sushunge will be deposed from their titles and handed over to the clan's mansion. If Zaiyuan, Duanhua and others dare not By order, you take it for me!"

This is to imply that Zaiyuan and Duanhua should not make fun of themselves, but they are the first to steal the show. When Duanhua heard that Prince Zheng's title was revoked and lost his amulet, he was sent to the clan's mansion for interrogation and punishment, but he suffered a lot!Thinking of this, my guts were torn apart, and with a bang, a green jadeite snuff bottle bought for 8,000 taels of silver slipped from her hand and smashed to the ground. At that time, a guard came in with the curtain lifted and said loudly: "My lords and lords, please go out of the house! There is a decree."

Zaiyuan hesitated for a moment, but finally walked out. As soon as he left, Duanhua and others naturally followed to the corridor.I saw Prince Gong said with a solemn expression: "by order: Jing Shou, Mu Yin, Kuang Yuan, Du Han, Jiao Youying withdraw from the military plane. To deserve the blame, send Prince Gong to join the University Scholars, Six Departments and Nine Ministers, Han Zhan Kedao , Differentiate the severity, and play according to the law and impartiality." When the name was mentioned, the five people knelt down, and when the decree was announced, all of them were ashen-colored.It was Mu Yin who was calmer and said: "I obey the order." Then everyone kowtowed, stood up, and retreated into the room dejectedly.

Zaiyuan opened his mouth suddenly, and he said something in a hurry: "We didn't make the decree in front of the emperor, where did the decree come from?" "Hmph!" Prince Gong sneered, turned around and said to Zhou Zupei, "Look, they still say this to this day." "Just ask them, whether to obey the edict or not!" This sentence is very powerful, Zaiyuan dare not make a sound, but Duanhua shouted first: "This is a random fate..." Before finishing a sentence, Prince Gong shouted loudly: "Get it for me!" Speaking of the word "take", the guards rushed up, grabbed Zaiyuan and Duanhua in a hurry, and took off their warm hats from their heads at the same time.

"How unreasonable! You bastard! How dare you treat ministers like this?" Zaiyuan cursed loudly. "Send off to the clan mansion!" Prince Gong said this, and walked out first. As soon as they got out of the Longzong gate, they saw a mess in the distance like chickens flying and dogs jumping. The servants who ordered the minister to enter the court were all dispersed by the guards guarding the palace gate. On this side, Zaiyuan and Duanhua were still shouting. Shouting: "Where's the sedan chair? The sedan chair!" The guards at the Qianqing Gate didn't answer, but pushed and dragged them to the clan mansion.

Prince Gong is not in the mood to worry about these things. What he has to deal with now is how to pass the decree to arrest Sushun?According to the plan they agreed upon, this should be handled by Wen Xiang. For the sake of solemnity, knowing that Wen Xiang is a very proper person, he still pulled him aside and asked Sushun, Prince Renshou and Prince Chun, When the decree was handed over, he specially warned: "Su Liu follows Zi Gong, don't stir up trouble! We won't be able to explain it. I'm afraid Lao Qi won't be able to handle this big event." "Qi Ye can't even handle this one," Wen Xiang replied calmly:

"Wait for me to plan." "Yes. But, you have to be quick." Prince Gong said again, "I'll accompany them to the cabinet to talk, and then I'll go back to Xiangfeng Hutong. As soon as your work here is over, I'll come right away." So Prince Gong accompanied Guiliang and the others to the Grand Scholars Zhilu next to the Gate of Supreme Harmony, while Wen Xiang returned to the military plane.The dismissed ministers of military affairs have all gone home and are waiting behind closed doors. In the entire court, only Wen Xiang is left to maintain the political system. Because of this recognition, he suddenly feels heavy on his shoulders, as if he feels overwhelmed.At the same time, thinking of the powerful princes and ministers, the judgment of honor and disgrace is far more than a world in a moment?The turbulent waves in the officialdom are really daunting. Just as he was full of emotions, Zhu Xueqin had already greeted him. He stayed here with the qualification of Zhang Jing, a military plane on duty.At this moment, people are in good spirits on happy occasions, with a reserved smile on their faces, but when they see Wen Xiang's serious face, for some reason, his smile fades away, and he just quietly follows him into the back room. "Alas!" Wen Xiang sighed, "If I knew today, why bother?" Zhu Xueqin didn't know who he was lamenting for?It is inconvenient to answer, so I just ask: "Who will be sent to Miyun to deliver the decree?" Wen Xiang thought for a while and said, "Excuse me, is Yang Da here?" Yang Da was an assistant leader of the infantry commander's yamen. Wen Xiang picked him to be a servant. He was loyal and alert. Zhu Xueqin felt that he was a very suitable person for the mission in Miyun, so he went to Longzongmen himself. Go outside and find him. "Uncle Xiu, in the name of Prince Gong, you wrote a letter to King Chun, briefly describing what happened today. Together with this edict, you sealed it and sent it." Zhu Xueqin did as he asked, and took another seal from the Military Aircraft Office, put it outside, and sent it in together. Wen Xiang checked it and handed it to Yang Da. "From here to Miyun, when is the fastest time?" "If the horse is good, we can arrive at midnight." "You rode my 'Chrysanthemum Green'. You will definitely get it at midnight." Wen Xiang asked again, "Are you familiar with Miyun?" "I've been there a few times, so I'm not unfamiliar." "Okay! The Seventh Prince lives in the old Renyi store on the East Street. As soon as you arrive in Miyun, go to the door of the Seventh Prince's room and deliver this letter face to face. At dawn, you can go see the Seventh Prince again. If he has anything to say, what do you want?" Bring it back. At noon tomorrow, I'll wait for your reply." "Cha!" Yang Da agreed loudly. "Let me tell you again," Wen Xiang, who had always been amiable, now had a chilling Qiushuang on his face: "This trip is not difficult, if you fail, come see me with your head up! Remember, be cautious. Keep it secret!" Yang Da said yes with a smug expression, and in front of Wen Xiang, he sealed the big thick seal against his chest and hid it, asking An to resign.Hurrying back to the Yamen of the Infantry Commander in the East City, he pulled out Wenxiang's "chrysanthemum green" from the trough that was presented by the Mongolian prince, and picked up four strong soldiers and four good horses with very strong legs. On the copy, he received the issued by the Ministry of War, kept the spare fire card, got on his horse and headed north, all the way out of Deshengmen. At this time, it was not yet dark, and five angry horses were galloping like flying. It happened to be the third watch, and they arrived at the south gate of Miyun County, a hundred miles away from the capital.The Zi Palace of the Daxing Emperor was just coming here, the city and the countryside were heavily guarded, Yang Da opened the city gate, inspected the fire sign, and drove straight in. When he reached the crossroads, he turned right and found the East Street. The inn where the king lived. The door of the inn is not closed all night. Now there are relatives and ministers guarding the mansion, and there are even guards on shifts. When Yang Da just dismounted and was about to enter the inn, someone shouted: "stop!" So Yang Da stopped, and waited for the Lanling bodyguard to arrive in front of him with two guards carrying white wax poles, then he said out of breath, "There are six hundred miles of urgent 'Tingji' at the post of the Ministry of War. Hand it over to the Seventh Prince!" "It will take a while for the Seventh Prince to get up, just wait!" The guard pouted inside, "There are sauerkraut and white meat, fire, hot millet porridge, and burning knives in the room, let's make a meal first." !" "Thank you very much!" Yang Da slapped the Lanling bodyguard, and said with a smile: "The superior will tell you that you must wake up the Seventh Prince as soon as you arrive, and I will give you an official business, please, please give me a reply! " "All right!" Lan Ling's bodyguard turned and entered the store, and after a cup of tea, he rushed out, beckoned to take Yang Da to the Xikua courtyard, and saw that King Chun was wearing a black cotton robe, unbuttoned, with only his With a belt tied around his waist, he stood on the edge of the steps in the westerly wind and waited. Yang Da took two steps forward, went to the place where the lights were bright to salute, and signed up by himself: "Yang Da, the commander of the infantry and the left wing commander of the yamen, pays respects to the Seventh Prince." King Chun knew that it was a special messenger sent by Wenxiang, so he said, "Come in!" He then said to Lan Ling's guard, "Go and invite Master Rui." Yang Da followed King Chun into the house, took out the sweat-soaked seal from his arms, handed it up with both hands, and said softly at the same time: "Master Wen, please arrive at three o'clock tonight, and deliver seven seals in person. Lord." King Chun didn't have time to answer, he opened the seal, read the letter signed by King Gong first, and then read the decree, feeling excited that this day has finally arrived!The errand that Cao Yuying arranged for him finally came!You have to show off your hands beautifully. Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he calmly asked Yang Da: "How did you tell the outside when you got here just now?" "The humble official only said that there are six hundred miles to speed up the 'Ting Ji', and it must be handed over to the Seventh Prince immediately." King Chun was relieved, the earth-shaking changes in Beijing had never been leaked, and he couldn't help boasting: "Good boy! He will be on the job." Then he shouted: "Come on!" The servant came in response, and King Chun ordered to reward Yang Da with fifty taels of silver. Yang Da thanked him for the reward, and conveyed Wen Xiang's intention, asking him to come to see King Chun after dawn, and to bring back any reply. "Okay, okay!" King Chun said happily, "Come here at dawn, and I will let you go back to work. In fact, you will understand everything by then, and you will know what's going on even if I don't tell you." Yang Da didn't quite understand what he said, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He stepped back, touched the fifty taels of silver in his arms, and was elated. After a midnight snack, I went to take a nap and rest. In King Jin's house, Rui Chang was summoned late at night, still wearing robes and gowns to see him, ignoring the servants, King Jin didn't say a word, first handed him the documents from Beijing.This was originally expected by Ruichang, but he never expected it to be activated so quickly!Although Dawen Sushun ordered the two kings Ruichun to handle it, but as the commander of the infantry, most of the responsibility for protecting the foot fell on his own shoulders. His expression is very different from King Chun's complacent, eager to do something he wants. "Zhishan!" Chun Wang called his nickname and asked, "How do you think about it?" "My lord! If things happen in a hurry, you can't make a mistake." "Naturally." Ruichang pulled up the chair, moved closer to the candle, leaned his head over and said, "Do you think he will obey the edict?" "It's not certain. However, he just refuses to follow the edict, does he dare to take any action? No," Chun Wang said with great confidence, "I guess he wouldn't." Rui Chang shook his head in disbelief. Stop: "No, no!" He said, "A person as domineering as him naturally thinks that the enmity is deep. How can there not be one or two hundred dead soldiers around him?" Hearing this, King Chun was startled, full of joy, greatly discounted, and was speechless for a long time in a daze. "This matter needs to be discussed in the long run." Rui Chang said again, "I will accompany the lord to meet Prince Rui." This suggestion was not accepted by King Chun, he thought that he had to "deliver the decree" that night, there was not much time to discuss it calmly, it is better to discuss the method here, and then notify Prince Rui to act together, it is simpler and more appropriate. Rui Chang thought it was a good idea, so he first analyzed the situation of the guards for him. He said that his troops were only responsible for guarding the road, and they were all on the periphery, which was useless at all, while Sushun was still the leader of Zhenghuang Qi One-third of the ministers' errands in the guards and the guards in the upper three banners are under his command. If there is a rush to fight, the consequences will be disastrous. "So, most of Zhenghuangqi's bodyguards are in Ludian to guard Zigong. There are not many people around him." Ruichang said again, "I'm afraid he's raising dead soldiers." Said "dead man", King Chun frowned again: "This man is mean and ungrateful, there may not be anyone who is willing to do his best for him. Even if there is, he will not be close to him. We don't have to be half-hearted, let's do it as soon as possible! " "Even if you do it, you have to arrange it. You have to send someone who is close and strong, this," Rui Chang said slowly, "I think the one with the fourth forehead is the best." "Yes!" King Chun appreciated this idea very much, "Let's borrow the person with the fourth forehead." The fourth son-in-law, Demchukzabu, has just filled up the errand of the Shangyu spare office. This yamen is also called the sticky pole office. The guards there have to go anywhere, so they are young, alert and active. It is more appropriate to use them to deal with the "dead men" who may be around Sushun.This level is settled. After discussing further, they quickly reached a conclusion, that Gui Ruichang was in charge of guarding the perimeter, and it was Prince Chun himself who entered the house to arrest people, and Prince Rui was getting old, so he was only asked to put on a show outside. "It's not too late, let's go to Prince Rui's place!" After saying this, Prince Chun called the footman to come, waited for him to change into robes, and went to Prince Rui's place together with Ruichang. Prince Rui and Prince Chun lived in the same inn, but they were separated by a courtyard, and they called to open the door. After a secret conversation, Prince Rui felt that he was the first in the decree, and he was the prince in terms of title, but Prince Gong and Wen Xiang sent the secret decree. To King Chun, feeling unhappy, so he cupped his hands and said, "Such a big case, naturally, Uncle Qi is the one to decide." Before King Jin could speak, Rui Chang heard that the tone of the words was not good, and hurriedly said: "Of course, the Seventh Prince has to listen to the command of the Prince." Hearing these words, Prince Rui felt better, nodded and said, "They all work for the emperor, why should they be divided between each other? If Uncle Qi has any ideas, just say it!" So King Jin talked about the plan he had agreed with Ruichang, only changing the words about who would enter the house and arrest people: "I have to follow your wishes on how to deliver the decree." King Chun was always young and vigorous, always wanted to do one or two beautiful errands to show his face, Prince Rui knew it well, so at this moment he stroked his goatee and said: "A hero comes out of a young man, and he captures a traitor, naturally Seventh Uncle will be the first. " "That's it. Change your clothes, please! I'll go to the fourth son-in-law's. We'll meet at his place." "I won't be with the Seventh Prince anymore." Rui Chang greeted him and said, "I'll meet up with the fourth concubine later." "We have to set a time." Chun Wang took out a big gold watch from his purse to look at it and said, "The Western clock is half past one, and we will meet at half past two and start at three. Will you be in time?" ?” "Do your best!" "Wait!" Prince Rui rolled his eyes twice, and made a decisive decision, "Zhishan, you have to send as many troops as possible to secure the Master's place everywhere, and isolate it from the inside and outside! Seventh Uncle, you go in. When the time comes, first find out the leader of the guards at his place, tell him the reason, and ask him if he complies with the order? No mistake, we still have room to talk." King Chun admired these words very much, after all, Jiang is old and spicy.Of course, he didn't intend to shirk his responsibilities in the future, but he just felt that calling out the leader of the guards and explaining the reason was the best way to capture the thief and the king. As long as this person bowed his head and obeyed his orders, he didn't have to be afraid of any "dead men". So they split up their work, and by half past two, they were all assembled at Demchukjab's place.The guards at the sticky pole had already been selected. I heard that they were all gearing up to take Sushun with King Chun, and they were all very excited. Half of this was due to their youthful deeds, and the other half was because Sushun had made a promise to reduce the eight banners' pay, and no one was against it. He has a good impression of it. At three o'clock on the western clock, Chun Wang took the group of young guards and strode towards Sushun's hotel. At this time, the streets and alleys were under martial law. Prince Rui was old, and the night was frosty, accompanied by Rui Chang, he also arrived in a warm sedan chair, according to the planned plan, requisitioned a teahouse at Jiekou as a temporary command post.The two kings and one minister had just sat down when they heard the very crisp sound of horseshoes hitting the bluestone pavement, as urgent as a shower, very rhythmic, and the sound was very strong in the quiet night.Prince Rui and Prince Chun couldn't help but listened intently, with slightly surprised expressions on their faces. So Rui Chang hurriedly said: "Oh, I forgot to tell the two lords, it is Boyan Mohu whom I have invited, and he must have brought his cavalry here at this moment." The eldest son of the monk king, Baylor Boyan Mohu, has been assigned a new mission as a guide, and he has always been at the front. He has his own guards, a fierce Mongolian cavalry team. Twenty-four people were swept up like a gust of wind. With this iron cavalry, King Chun became more courageous. After meeting each other in a hurry, Prince Rui immediately issued an order to send someone to Sushun's residence to find the leader of the guards. All the princes and ministers who escorted the Zi Palace were run by local officials and rented local inns as mansions. Only Sushun was inconvenient to live with everyone because he was traveling with two concubines. Their "officials" were on errands, and they found their own lodgings. They borrowed a house from a squire in Miyun, which consisted of a large courtyard and a flower hall. The leader of the guards living in the wing room in the front yard, named Haida, was awakened by the hooves of the Mongolian cavalry, and felt strange, Zigong was here, and the nobles were like a cloud, and it was the military officer who was so bold that he led the cavalry in the middle of the night. Rampage, not too presumptuous? Just as he was suspicious in his heart, he heard someone knocking on the window, got up and looked, it was a Lan Ling guard who was on guard at night to report, saying that it was Prince Rui who had sent someone to summon him. "Huh!" Haida was stunned and said again, "He is the prince, I have to go. But, the status is different, he can't control me!" "Boss!" The guard took a step and leaned in front of him and said, "Don't cause trouble! The infantry commanding yamen have all come out, what are they going to do?" Hearing this, Haida was even more surprised. Looking at it like this, he should report to Sushun, but he was also afraid that this "Zhongtang" would have a bad temper and disturb his dream, and he might be scolded.But the time did not allow him to think carefully, in a hurry, he thought that it would be good for him to go out and have a look first before making up his mind. So he put on a big hat, and hurried out, when he arrived at the door, he met the guard who was delivering the order to Prince Rui, he was an acquaintance, and he greeted each other, the man lowered his voice and said: "Prince Rui ordered to arrest someone, originally I would like to invite Su Zhongtang to handle it together, but I am afraid that I am sleeping well, so I specially asked you to go and tell you the reason, so that I can tell Su Zhongtang later." I see!Haida let go of her doubts and happily followed.When I arrived at the tea shop at the intersection, I saw the cavalry marching bravely, with knives out of their sheaths, arrows on strings, and a lot of lanterns with different names.Once they entered the store, they found not only Prince Rui, but also Prince Chun, Rui Shangshu and the Mongolian Prince Bobeile. The shock was no small matter, so they saluted and stood with hands down, listening to orders quietly. "Haida!" Prince Rui asked, "What is Su Zhongtang doing now?" "If you go back to the prince, Su Zhongtang is still asleep at the moment." "Sleeping there?" Chun Wang asked. This question was suddenly incomprehensible, Haida thought for a while before realizing that the person who asked must be sleeping in that room, so she answered truthfully, "Sleeping in the east room of the West Flower Hall of the Wu family mansion." "Are there guards?" The more she asked, the weirder she became, and Haida hesitated to answer casually. "What's the matter?" Chun Wang's face sank, "Do you not have ears or a mouth?" King Chun began to speak in an official tone, and Haida couldn't help but say: "There are two sitting on the watch." "Listen!" King Chun said to Ruichang and Boyan Mohu, "What do you call 'sitting watch'! Isn't that the style of the inner courtyard of the palace?" Rui Chang smiled, turned to Haida and asked, "Who are those two guards? Are they on shift, or are they always those two people? Are they in your charge, or are they chosen by Su Zhongtang himself?" "It's a shift, and I'll take care of it." Ruichang and King Jin exchanged a look, they understood each other, and they were relieved. The guards took turns, and they were under the jurisdiction of the head of the bodyguards. It can be seen that they were ordinary bodyguards, not the "dead men" Sushun raised. "Haida!" Prince Rui raised his voice and asked in a very serious voice: "Let me ask you, do you listen to the emperor or Su Zhongtang?" There are all kinds of suspicious signs, and this sentence is like the finishing touch, and all the etiquette is clear. Haida was shocked, knowing that the relationship is very important, and the fate lies in the sentence and the attitude of the answer. He quickly raised his chest and answered loudly. : "Why does the prince ask this question? Haida was born in the Yellow Banner, and since the time he fought Emperor Taizong, he has been the emperor's personal general's imperial army. Why should I not listen to the emperor's words?" When he spoke impassionedly here, he suddenly realized that there was something wrong with his words. Then he added: "Furthermore, 'eating the king's salary is a matter of being loyal to the king', even if Haida is not a member of the Three Banners, he still has to listen to the emperor's words!" "Okay, be loyal and loyal to the imperial court!" Prince Rui said this in a playful voice, then turned to King Chun and said, "Seventh Uncle, please! I will sit in the 'old camp' and listen to the 'good news'." "I'll go right away!" At this time, King Chun felt his will was soaring, and he agreed loudly, stood up and told Haida: "You lead the way! Let's go get the treacherous officials." Although he didn't say the word "Sushun", he had already seen the clues, but Haida still couldn't help feeling a bolt from the blue at this time. No matter what, he was working under Sushun, and he brought outsiders to arrest the hall official of this yamen. Well, it's always not a matter of face to say it out, so he quickly agreed in his mouth, but he was thinking about it in his heart, thinking about ways to get out. At this time, the Mongolian horse team had already started patrolling the streets, and the guards of the Wu family mansion were surprised to see King Chun coming in person, and with the people on the sticky pole, but with their "boss" accompanying them, they naturally couldn't help but be surprised. He would think that he was here to capture Sushun.This puzzled look inspired Haida. Before he entered the courtyard, he quietly pulled King Chun aside and said in a low voice, "Seventh Prince, when you came back to the flower hall, you always brought people in. I will stand for you at the entrance of the flower hall." Guard. The reason is that Su Zhongtang has a loud voice, and if he yells, someone will come in from outside, and I can block it for the Seventh Prince." King Chun agreed to his solution, but sent two other people to "guard" with him, in fact to monitor Haida, lest he go outside to summon his troops to rescue Sushun. At this time, the two guards in the flower hall came out to visit after hearing the sound. Seeing that it was King Chun, they rushed to pay their respects, but they looked at Haida, wanting to get an explanation, what's going on? In order to show that he was being held hostage, Haida would not speak of course, and there was no need for him to speak, because King Chun had already given the order directly. "Wake up Su Zhongtang, ask him to come out, and say something is urgent." "Yes!" The two guards agreed and turned to leave. "Wait!" King Chun said, turning his head and pouting. Then the four young men at the sticky pole, as if protruding to catch some lively small animal, rushed to the two guards at a very fast pace, and before they could see clearly, the saber on their waist was covered I paid it. "What is this?" One of them was very displeased and asked like complaining. "It's nothing," King Chun comforted him, "I'll borrow your knives for a while, and I'll return them to you later. Go ahead, do what I say, and you won't suffer any losses." The two guards came to their senses at this moment, and they said in their hearts: Su Zhongtang is going to be in trouble!A bachelor doesn't suffer from immediate disadvantages, just be obedient!So Nuonuo turned around and left. The flower hall consisted of three rooms, one bright and two dark. They went to the window of the east room, knocked on the window and shouted: "Zhongtang, Zhongtang!" After calling three or four times in a row, I heard a delicate questioning voice from inside: "Who is it?" "The guard sitting on watch." "What for?" "Please speak to Zhongtang." Sushun also woke up at this moment, and asked loudly, "What's the matter?" "There is something urgent, please get up Zhongtang, so that we can meet face to face." "What's the matter? You just talk there." The two guards were at a loss for words, and turned to King Chun for help. Sushun heard that there was no sound, and lost his temper inside: "You bastard, what the hell are you doing? If you have something to say, tell me quickly, if you have nothing to say, get out!" This time, the guard had no choice but to say straight: "The Seventh Prince is here. It's just outside the window here." "Hey!" It was a very light surprised voice, after a pause, Su Shun said: "Please ask the Seventh Prince, what's the matter?" At this time, King Chun had no choice but to speak: "Sushun, get up quickly, there is a will." "Is there a decree?" In Sushun's voice, there was infinite confusion, "Lao Qi, are you here to deliver a decree?" "correct." "Strange!" Sushun said to himself, "If there is a decree for me, how can I ask you to pass it on?" He made a self-explanatory sentence, and when King Chun heard it, he felt contemptuous. The anger accumulated over the years, all broke out at this moment, and he shouted sharply: "I will tell you! Come here by order. Take you. Get out of here!" Before he could finish a sentence, he heard a sudden and tender cry, and more than one voice, and then heard Sushun scolding his two concubines: "Why are you crying? What is there to cry about? How dare they treat me as a bunch of useless wretches? How about it?" This really pissed King Chun off!I really wanted to kick open the door and grab Sushun from the bed, but I was worried that there were two young women inside, and they were bound by rituals, which was not very elegant, so I just sneered, and suppressed the anger in my chest. down. During the almost embarrassing waiting, there were weeping, whispering, and rustling in the room, which seemed to be the sound of dressing and boots, and then these sounds gradually decreased, and the door should be opened. but. After waiting in doubt for a long time, King Chun suddenly came to his senses, pointed to a guard there, and asked loudly, "Is there a back door inside?" "There is a small corner door. I don't know where it leads? I have never entered it, so I dare not say." broken!King Chun thought to himself, Sushun must have patrolled through the corner gate, of course he couldn't escape, but it would take some effort.In this way, the errand is not beautiful enough. Just as he was about to give the order to break in, the door of the flower hall opened with a sound of "ah", and Su Shun, who was full of anger, walked out proudly under the light of the lantern. Not allowing King Chun to speak, he pointed his halberd first and asked, "Lao Qi, what are you holding in your hand?" King Chun raised the decree: "Shangyu! Kneel down and listen!" "Wait a minute! Tell me first, who made the decree?" "Prince Gong, University scholar Gui Liang, Bureau Zu Pei, Minister of Military Aircraft Wen Xiang." "Huh, what kind of edict is this?" Sushun said loudly, quickly and clearly, "Why do these four people accept the decree? Where did the decree come from? You still have the family law of your ancestors and the emperor Daxing in your heart." Will you die? Emperor Daxing, your bones are not cold yet, you dare to stand here in front of Zigong, pretending to be edicts and stealing government, won't you be afraid of being punished by heaven?" This severe reprimand made the king so angry and impatient, he couldn't argue with him, and felt that there was no need to argue with him, so he became furious and shouted sharply: "There is no such nonsense! Pull him down and kneel down to accept the order! " The guards at the sticking pole were already eager to try. As soon as they heard the order, a few people came up and hurriedly pushed Sushun to the knees. He tries to be docile, but it's just asking for trouble!Those boys in the upper three flags, who are used to falcons and dogs, have some tricks. One uses a grappling technique to twist his right hand backwards, another knocks his right hand into the crook of his knee, and Sushun immediately falls half short, and the other makes his right hand With a pinch of the neck and a pull of the braid, the head was raised, and the gaze was right on King Chun. Under the lantern held high, he grinned in pain, and the sweat on his forehead was as big as soybeans. So Jin Wang Gao Ping asked Sushun to escort him to Beijing, and still stuttered seven or eight sentences. Fortunately, this was just a formality. After hastily perfunctory, he ordered Sushun to be escorted out At the same time, four guards were sent into the east room of the flower hall to arrest Sushun's two concubines crying, and sent them to Prince Rui together. It's all done, and the anger is calculated, but Chun Wang doesn't feel happy, on the contrary, he feels that he is invincible and has done a very useless thing.After going out of the Wu family's mansion like this, it occurred to me that there was one very important thing that I hadn't done, so I stopped to think about it, and then asked, "Where's Haida?" "Hedda is here!" "You are ordered to watch over here, and you are not allowed to move any plants or trees!" King Chun already thought that Sushun was going to ransack the house.
