Chapter 232 Authenticity(1/2)
Qi Huan didn't know these things at the first time.
When she got the news, the entire capital was blocked by martial law, and the streets were clamoring to capture the party members of King Rui.
All the servants sent out to buy at home were driven back. Early in the morning, Qi Zhengyu had just arrived at the yamen and sent Guan Yusheng back to send a message to Yang, saying that she was asking her to lock the door and restrain the people in the mansion, so she would not have any trouble at this critical moment.
Yang asked about the specific details, Guan Yusheng couldn't quite understand it, and said: "Your Majesty didn't even attend the morning court today. Even the troops from the camps in the suburbs of Beijing dispatched some to Beijing overnight to help search. King Rui was suspected of colluding with the enemy and treason. This news..."
As he said, he subconsciously glanced at Qi Huan who was sitting in Yang's room, then lowered his eyes and continued: "The prince of the Duke of Pingguo's mansion sent his confidants to secretly send his message to our prince. In short, the situation of searching for the whole city is unprecedented. The marquis said that our mansion is the best, and the prince's wife must take good care of the door and never cause unnecessary trouble."
A dignified prince is involved in the crime of colluding with the enemy and treason...
Indeed, but just this thing is shocking enough.
"I understand." Yang agreed.
Guan Yusheng returned home, and the street was in chaos at this moment, so he couldn't do anything to go to the yamen to report Qi Zhengyu, so he went back to Fulinyuan.
Yang was so resolute that he immediately issued several death orders to seal the door of the mansion, and at the same time, he strictly prohibited the servants from asking each other out of questioning each other.
Qi Huan returned Qi Yuanchen to her after she finished her work, and then returned to Chunyuzhai.
But on the way back, she thought about it more and more and more and more that something was wrong: "Gu Zhan could get the news, probably because he was called to help overnight. The whole city was martial law, and the Imperial Guard and the troops from the camps in the suburbs of Beijing were called. Such a large-scale search for the whole city... This situation... things may not be as simple as it seems."
"Isn't it all the way to hunt down the rebels?" Xing Luo disagreed.
Qi Huan's mind flew around, and she still felt that this was extraordinary.
Her steps suddenly stopped and she held her breath slightly: "What's wrong, this is not an ordinary search for the rebels..."
Xingluo and Yunxi both stopped and looked at her.
Yun Xi said quickly and blurted out: "If you don't search for the rebels, what else can it be?"
"It's King Rui." Qi Huan said.
Originally, she was just a kind of unreasonable speculation, but as soon as she said this, she believed it with great confidence.
She looked at the two girls with a solemn expression: "It must be King Rui who ran away, they are searching for King Rui."
If a prince who colluded with an enemy country and intended to assassinate the emperor and the prince failed, he escaped and ran away...
As a royal family, Yun Heng has been a figure wandering around the center of the power of the dynasty over the years, and he will inevitably hold many key secrets in his hands.
If he really escaped, it would be no exaggeration to search in the capital no matter how big the search was.
because--
If he is asked to escape or even defect to the enemy country, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Upon hearing this, the two girls who knew nothing about politics became even more nervous.
Yun Xi said, "Then...will there be any big mess in this capital?"
But then that's it, Qi Huan had another bigger doubt in her heart at this moment-
In the original book, Ye Xunyi, the one who colluded with the Ji family who was the most in Dacheng, and eliminated Yun Heng, and led to the great destruction of the country was Ye Xunyi.
Yun Heng and Ye Xunyi are a pair of living enemies who will never stop. Ye Xunyi's connections shouldn't have fallen into the hands of her mortal enemy.
and--
Ye Xunyi wanted to destroy the country because she hated Yun Heng and took her anger at the same time. She hated the imperial power behind him and hated the court very much, so she would try every means to destroy the throne that Yun Heng wanted the most, which was reasonable.
Even if things are deviated now, Yun Heng intercepted her resources...
Yun Heng is a prince who is a great judge. What is he trying to collude with the enemy country?
In addition to the fierce defeat in the southern battle fifteen years ago, Da Jin has actually been above the Dacheng court of real national strength over the past hundred decades.
Although Yun Heng in the original work has a dark mind, his persistence in imperial power has long since become a disgraceful person. Because he was pressed to the bottom since childhood, he endured too much, so when he grew up, his desire to turn over to be a superior person was so strong, and even reached a distorted level.
For this reason, he always regarded Ye Xunyi, the concubine's concubine, as his own shame.
Chapter 1 of the article: When Ye Xunyi died, he was always worried that Yun Heng liked her legitimate sister, which led to her extreme resentment.
But if you break out of the framework of the original text and analyze the character in depth, Qi Huan is actually more willing to believe it-
Yun Hengzha is clearly a slag, but he endured and hiding for decades and insisted on supporting Ye Xunhui, the most noble daughter of the Ye family, to the throne. This could never be due to the love between men and women. It should be just the dark inferiority complex that exists in his bones. She regards Ye Xunhui, who is of noble origin, as a medal, believing that such a queen can wash away the stain on his decades of endurance.
Is this kind of person who has strong self-esteem so strong that his personality is distorted. Before he takes power, he colludes with the enemy country? He is rushing to the bottom of his feet and leaning down and making small?
If he is really forced into a desperate situation, he may have done this and seek an absolute opportunity to fight back!
But--
He wants to reach trust and tacit understanding with the enemy royal family, and can develop a friendship to plan major events together. This cannot be a quick relationship and transaction within a month. He must have been in contact with the other side long ago.
He lost power, which was something that happened suddenly in the past month. According to the situation he had in his hands before, he really didn't have to collude with the enemy country.
Qi Huan thought about it and always felt that the development of this matter was a bit unreasonable and something strange was there.
Seeing that she was nervous, Xingluo panicked and immediately suggested: "Is Wei Feng still waiting outside our mansion? Or do I go and see him and ask Prince Gu for a trip. Miss, please ask in detail?"
Qi Huan came to his senses.
Her face still looked extremely serious, but when she heard this, she shook her head decisively: "If something big happened, he must be busy now, so don't cause trouble for him. I'm just thinking about it. Let's talk about it when he has time."
She took two girls back to Chunyuzhai, brought her toolbox, took out the carving knife and the small piece of jade that had been carved halfway before, calmed down, and abandoned the wild and unfounded ideas in her mind.
There was a lot of noise outside, and there was a bit of chaos on the streets, which made the mansion panic.
Qi Huan has been feeling a little restless.
That afternoon, before the sky was dark, Qi Zhengyu and Qi Wenjing and his son were sent back, saying that it was the emperor's will to leave for three days, and that they were allowed to rest for three days, such as the irrelevant yamen.
Only Qi Wen'ang, the six departments in the central government were busier than usual. Not only did he not have a rest, he was arrested on the same day and sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that the government office was busy and he might be able to come back tonight, so he asked Cen to not worry.
The unstable movements outside naturally affected the hearts of the people in the mansion. At night, people were sent back to their rooms early when they had nothing to do. The atmosphere in the mansion was inexplicably a bit solemn.
The light of the candlelight was too dark, and Qi Huan put away the carving knife at night.
After eating and taking a shower, she was sleepless because of her concern...
Sitting in a daze under the light shadow, Xingluo pushed the door open and came in: "Miss, Prince Gu is here."
Qi Huan immediately cheered up and looked behind her, but saw no one.
"The prince's letter asked someone to come and send you to see him in the front yard." Xingluo said, and had already entered the room and opened the cabinet to find her clothes. "The prince's wife must have been passing by here nearby and took the opportunity to come over. She said she couldn't stay for a long time. She was talking to the prince in the front yard now."
Qi Huan then understood—
Gu Zhan should be afraid that she would not be at ease if she could not get the exact information. She took the time to take a look so that she could feel at ease.
Just so happened that she had some things to verify with Gu Zhan now, so she quickly changed her clothes.
His hair was still half wet, and Xingluo helped her change her clothes and couldn't help feeling embarrassed: "This..."
"It's big night, no need to comb it." Qi Huan turned around decisively, took a thin cloak hanging on the screen, and helped up the hood to cover his head.
She hurried to the front yard.
At that time, Qi Wenjing and Gu Zhan were sitting in the flower hall of Yanyuxuan and talking.
Qi Wenjing was naturally also worried about the news on the street, so he asked about the news with Gu Zhan.
Seeing Qi Huan coming, Qi Wenjing stood up tactfully: "I still have a few official letters to reply in a hurry. Huan'er, come and sit with Chen Yi for a cup of tea."
Qi Huan bent his knee slightly: "Father walks slowly."
When she watched Qi Wenjing come out of the yard, she immediately withdrew her gaze.
The weather has been very hot these days. She was wearing a cloak as thin as a cicada and was covered in a cloak that was as thin as a cicada and sweated all over the way.
Qi Huan turned around and pulled down his hood as soon as possible, then walked quickly to Gu Zhan: "I thought you would have to make some days to make time for you."
Gu Zhan took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from her sideburns.
Qi Huan suddenly asked again: "Did you not have supper yet?"
Gu Zhan had a faint smile on his lips: "I came out in the middle of the night last night. I was busy all day and night and my feet were not stuck in the ground. I was afraid that you would worry, so I took the time to come and report you peace. Say a few words and I will leave in a while."
Qi Huan then quickly turned around and ordered Xingluo and Yunxi: "You two go to the kitchen to see if there is anything ready to eat, and bring some over."
The two little girls agreed and left.
She turned around and pulled Gu Zhan back to the chair, and asked straight to the point: "What's going on outside? Is this situation really just a search for the gang members of Prince Rui's Mansion?"
"No." Gu Zhan also answered simply, "Actually, King Rui ran away."
really!
The speculation was confirmed, and Qi Huan breathed a sigh of relief in an instant.
As soon as possible, she raised her eyes and looked at Gu Zhan again.
Gu Zhan took a sip of tea, and his expression on his face was neither salty nor light. He neither had excessive serious worries, but of course he would not take it seriously.
He said: "In fact, King Rui escaped not only after the incident of collusion with the enemy last night. At that time, the people from the Jingzhao Prefecture Office went over first, searched the secret letter based on the clues and surrounded the Rui Palace. After that, the news reported to the palace. His Majesty sent the Imperial Guard to take over and find the Rui Palace overnight, and when he took King Rui to the front of the emperor, he found that he was not in the mansion at all. Everyone naturally thought that he was after the incident was revealed, and took advantage of the gap between the Jingzhao Prefecture Office and the handover of the palace. However, today, when the Ministry of Justice interrogated and interrogated the people in his mansion, he found out the clue... In fact, half a month ago, after he was released from the palace, his servants in his mansion had never seen him again."
But at that time, everyone thought he had suddenly lost power and was in a bad mood, so he was locked in the room and didn't want to see anyone.
Of course, in order not to make a slogan, the people below naturally had no eyes on him. Seeing that he couldn't come out to wander, everyone was still secretly happy, and no one thought about it.
But the officials of the Ministry of Justice are not fools, and it is not difficult to infer from these details-
