The world of rebirth
Chapter 175
A great man once said that all reactionaries are paper tigers.Of course, if you want to have the confidence to say this, you must first have a strong gun as support.
Although Wen Zhen had never heard of this sentence, he understood the same truth very early on.In today's world, the top-level armed forces like the grand master are the big killers that can determine the fate of the country. Otherwise, no matter how beautiful you are, if a grand master who is going all out wants to take someone's head all the time, it is really a big deal. Terrible thing!
The palace is not even sure that it is 100% safe, let alone the houses of other ministers!
It is precisely because of this sense of crisis hanging over his head as a driving force that Wen Zhen, as an emperor, has persisted in practicing martial arts for decades.If there is no such variable as Ning Yunjin, with Wenzhen's aptitude, there is still hope for advancement in a few years - this was the case in Ning Yunjin's previous life.
If it weren't for the two of them who couldn't bear it anymore, those who were forced would not give their own time to develop, and they would not have agreed to take this opportunity to use their tricks and make various arrangements.
In the plan of the two, the real main battlefield is not Yangzhou.Therefore, the defense was arranged, and a team of people was left to deal with the aftermath of the assassination. Wen Zhen's royal boat set sail again, heading for Hangzhou.
Since two years ago, under the pretext of Japanese pirates disturbing the border, Wen Zhen summoned a group of ministers to re-arm the coastal provinces. He personally delineated a piece of land around the West Lake to build a banner camp, and stationed [-] troops.This move not only intimidated the growing pirates and Japanese pirates, but also calmed down Jiangnan, which was already full of impetuousness because of the booming economy.
In less than a day, Yu Zhou walked along the Grand Canal and entered this barracks. This newly built garrison was already like a city within a city, and it was built as solid as gold.
From a distance, the undulating and uniform tents add a bit of majestic beauty to the beautiful Jiangnan scenery, and this place will also become the foothold of the Southern Tour team in Hangzhou.
Wen Zhen and his party will stay in Hangzhou for a while, of course not just to enjoy the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River.According to the arrangement, it took a lot of time to do a series of things such as inspecting newly built water conservancy projects, reviewing flag camps, meeting local officials and gentry, and I had already stayed in Hangzhou for nearly ten days before I knew it.
The two waited wholeheartedly for the move, but they didn't expect that the other party hadn't made a move during this period of time.In a blink of an eye, it was time for Yuzhou to leave Hangzhou, and this night Ning Yunjin went into Wenzhen's room again to discuss with him.
Compared to Ning Yunjin's eagerness, Wen Zhen was quite calm, made a cup of tea for him leisurely, and said with a smile, "They have been planning for so many years, it is impossible to win over two great masters, and success is in sight. It’s time to suddenly let go and do nothing. The reason why we haven’t done anything recently is probably because we are afraid of us living in the banner camp.”
Ning Yunjin couldn't guess this, but he couldn't help but frowned, "Those aristocratic families have accumulated thousands of years, and no one knows what other methods they have. The teacher didn't teach me too much back then. They took your blood..."
Wen Zhen laughed, but his concern for him was very beneficial. He took Ning Yunjin's hand and pulled him into his arms, and then said, "Your care is messed up. With the little blood they got, even It is not enough to perform any large-scale spells. If you want to force it, you need to use a lot of sacrifices. Now this is in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is not on the prairie like it used to be. Now there is martial law everywhere in the city, and suspicious places in the past People are being watched, how can it be so easy for them to do things."
Ning Yunjin was pierced by him and glared at him, looking rather annoyed. He "ruthlessly" rejected Wen Zhen's request to let him stay overnight, and he went straight back to his room to rest.
In the early morning of the next day, Yu Zhou slowly left the port.The morning sun on the deck is bright, and there is a gentle breeze blowing on the face. It is most comfortable to rest and enjoy the cool on the deck.According to the habit formed in these days, while taking a breath, Wen Zhen summoned some ministers who were on board the ship to discuss the government affairs.
Usually at this time, except for the busy maids and eunuchs who are serving, everyone else can relax a little bit, after all, it is clear at a glance whether the boat is in danger or not.
Ning Yunjin seemed to be standing leisurely behind Wenzhen, but his attention was focused on his surroundings. There was no movement for an hour ahead. Looking back from the tall royal boat, he could no longer see the shadow of Hangzhou City.
Seeing the sun rising into the sky and the temperature slowly rising, Wen Zhen saw that a thin layer of sweat was already dripping from the brows of some puffy ministers, so he ended the topic and let them leave one by one to go back to their respective cabins to rest.
Ning Yunjin also followed the crowd down the deck. The floor he was on was either rich or expensive, and everyone had a special status, so there were not many people living there. He had just entered his cabin, and before he had time to sit down, he listened to There was a knock on the door outside.
"Who?" Ning Yunjin didn't open the door right away, but asked first.After all, someone was looking for him as soon as he entered the door. It was impossible not to keep an eye on the situation here.
"Reporting to Mrs. Xiao Ning, this servant is ordered by the emperor to give you medicine to prevent heatstroke."
The woman's voice outside the door was pretty and sweet, but Ning Yunjin was even more vigilant in his heart.Today he came back earlier than usual, and even Ye Hai, who had gone out to breathe, hadn't come back in time to serve him. Even if it was really Wen Zhen's order, he would not have delivered it so soon, let alone Wen Zhen knew that he It is impossible for a great master to have the worry of heatstroke, and he will not make such an unnecessary move.
However, Ning Yunjin is now highly skilled and bold, so he changed his mind and simply opened the door directly.Standing outside the door was a woman dressed as a maid of seventeen or eighteen years old. He glanced at her and turned sideways to let the maid into the cabin.
"come in!"
The palace lady was holding a tray in her hand, on which was a flat blue and white porcelain medicine bottle, she first knelt down to Ning Yunjin, said blessing, and then walked in the door.
Ning Yunjin closed the cabin door, picked up the bottle and put a pad on his hand, looked at the maid coldly and said, "You are not someone close to the emperor at all, so who sent you here?"
The court lady smiled lightly, and the trace of flattery on her face was immediately wiped away. She smiled and complimented, "Master Xiao Ning has good eyesight, and this servant is indeed not the emperor's person. But the master is worried about your health, so I specially let you The servant has brought you medicine."
After thinking about it, Ning Yunjin knew who the master she was talking about was. After all, this time he was traveling with the driver, except for the clan, he was not allowed to bring the female family and maids. But most of them have seen it, but they have never seen this maid, and there is only one other person who has something to do with him.
"My son is determined, go back to your master. Ning will personally thank him if he has a chance some other day." Ning Yunjin put the bottle on the table as he spoke.
Unexpectedly, the court lady took a step forward, holding the porcelain vase in front of Ning Yunjin again with a pair of jade hands, and said with a smile, "Lord Xiao Ning, the master ordered the servant to watch you take this medicine. Please don't be embarrassed. "
Ning Yunjin didn't take it this time, but sneered, "I'm afraid this isn't some kind of anti-heatstroke medicine!"
"Master is right, Master Xiao Ning is really a smart person." The court lady was not alarmed when she was exposed, and she smiled softly, "Master asked this servant to tell Sir that this medicine is specially asked for, and it can heal your lost soul. You have been resting for such a long time because of this illness, although the emperor still treats you as an adult, it is not a good thing to stay away from the court for too long."
Seeing that the maid finished speaking, she stared at herself with her eyes like lacquer, but under the shy expression that was hesitant to speak, there was a toughness that could not be ignored. .
If Ning Yunjin wanted to put on a show and drive people away, it would be fine, but beating a dog depends on the owner, and he is now in a cooperative relationship with them... So he snorted coldly, picked up the bottle and poured out a pill. The pill, without looking at it, was thrown into the mouth.
Seeing his straightforwardness, the court lady explained with a soft smile, "My lord, this medicine is indeed a rare and good medicine. There are only three pills in a bottle, so it can be said to be priceless. If you don't believe me, try it out and you will know!"
Ning Yunjin is already a grand master now, and there are very few medicines that can affect him in this world. He doesn't worry about the other party's tricks on it at all, and he really swallowed the pill.
Hearing the maid's explanation, he became curious instead, and he can flexibly use every part of his body in the realm of a great master.With a little exercise, the stomach moved faster, and the medicinal power dissipated immediately. He clearly felt a cool air start to circulate along the meridians, silently nourishing the place where it circulated, even with his current cultivation base It is very beneficial, if only ordinary warriors can increase their cultivation for at least one or two years after using this medicine, it can be seen that the materials used in this medicine are precious, and they are indeed worth a thousand gold.
But in an instant, Ning Yunjin felt a trace of undetectable blood in his throat. He has not spent these three years in vain. Thanks to his own photographic memory, at least he has surpassed most of the medicinal materials in the ability to distinguish Combined with the pharmacological knowledge he has learned in the past few years, he instantly understood the key.
A flash of anger flashed in Ning Yunjin's heart, but he also let go of what he had been holding on to all the time, knowing where Ruolin and the others used Wenzhen's blood, he finally didn't have to think about it.
It turned out that this medicine was made extremely exquisitely, the outer layer was a medicine that could enhance the power and calm the mind, but the inside was a fake blood pill.The content of fake blood pills in this pill is very small, and the blood energy is not as strong as the one he used to eat. If the ingredients were not similar to the one he remembered, Ning Yunjin would hardly be able to identify it. Thought it was the taste of the pill itself.
The author has something to say: Seeing that Ning Yunjin took the medicine so simply, a look of surprise flashed in the eyes of the maid, knowing that she was not welcome, she didn't stay any longer, she smiled and told her to take a pill every day, and then she left , went back and reported to the master.
The other party took out this medicine, that is to say, completely opened the hole card, and took one pill a day, so if there is no accident, the activation time will be the day after tomorrow.Ning Yunjin sneered, put the medicine bottle in his sleeve, and began to think about it in his heart.
According to the itinerary, three days is enough time for them to change into one large, four small and five sea ships and go to Ningbo Port.Wen Zhen and his party arrived in the afternoon, and the sun was high in the sky. Although there were soldiers enforcing martial law along the coast, there were crowds of people more than ten miles along the way.
This kind of lively scene has been staged frequently since leaving Beijing, and the people on the sea boat are not surprised. After all, this is the emperor's second southern tour, and there was another big victory in the court. If it's bigger, it's perfectly normal for those ignorant people to like to join in the fun.It wasn't until the sailors shouted and were about to dock that the accompanying officials stepped onto the deck one after another.
The air at the seaside is hot and humid, and even the breath seems to have a salty humidity under the sun. Many officials from the north are sweating, but they dare not show the slightest disrespect on such an occasion where everyone is watching. Big drops flowed down from the forehead, and they could only wipe their faces with sweat towels from time to time, looking a little embarrassed.
Against their backdrop, Wen Zhen and Ning Yunjin, who took the lead in walking in the front, looked extraordinarily special.Even though they were wearing heavy formal attire, the appearance of the two of them was not messy at all, and they boarded the pier with the guard of honor one after the other like strolling in the courtyard.Even without considering their identities, such a heroic demeanor made people involuntarily turn their attention to them.
"Look, that's Master Xiao Ning."
"Master Xiao Ning is indeed the youngest Sanyuan..."
Ning Yunjin listened to someone whispering in the crowd separated by soldiers in the distance, smiled inwardly indifferently, and then set his sights on Ying Xiangjie, the governor of Fujian who was coming up to him, profusely sweating.
I saw Ying Xiangjie leading the eight people behind him to kneel in front of Wenzhen, shouting long live, and after he finished shouting, everyone immediately knelt down on the ground.
"Let's get down!" Wen Zhen waved his hand to make them all stand up, and when he turned his gaze, he noticed the two people behind him, "Who are these two?"
It can't be blamed on the two old men, one fat and one thin, for eye contact, six of the eight people are wearing official robes, only the two of them are wearing blouses and silk, they don't look like people in the officialdom.However, being able to be brought out by Ying Xiangjie on such an occasion to welcome them is enough to prove that not only their identities are credible, but they should also have some prestige in Fujian.
Ying Xiangjie quickly pointed to the thin old man in a blouse and said, "My Majesty, this is Mr. Qing Chuan from Hongfei Academy." Then he pointed to the fat old man who looked very rich and said, "This is Mr. Li Yongfu, the chairman of the Fujian Merchant Guild."
"Oh!" As soon as Wenzhen heard his introduction, he remembered the origins of these two people, "It turns out that the two of you are the leaders who made great contributions in the last war against the Japanese. I remember that one of you once organized the people, and the other took the lead in donating money. Over money and food. Not bad, not bad, all good!"
Being praised by Wenzhen himself on such an occasion, the two were so excited that they knelt down to thank each other.
With Ning Yunjin's memory, he naturally remembered the reason why the two of them were able to appear here. As the coastal areas became more and more prosperous, the law and order in the past two years became more and more chaotic.There were frequent conflicts between the newly developed workshop owners and the local gentry, and pirates and Japanese pirates could not bear the temptation of interests, and from time to time there were some life-threatening lawsuits. In the end, Wenzhen angrily sent a large army to pay them off, perhaps the last rebound At the end of spring, a large number of Japanese pirates and pirates, together with some internal traitors colluded, came up with a plan to lure the army away from Ningbo City, and took the opportunity to gather thousands of people to launch a surprise attack.
When those thieves were burning, killing and looting in the city, it was Mr. Qingchuan who raised his arms and shouted to use his local reputation to organize the people to start rebelling. Li Yongfu provided them with money, food and weapons, and dealt with the thieves for two days , Persisted until the army rushed back to suppress the bandits.
It was what these two people did at the beginning that saved many people, and their reputation among the people reached its peak for a while, and they were respected by everyone.When Ying Xiangjie handed over the booklet to plead guilty, he specifically mentioned the merits of the two and pleaded for them.Wenzhen had been interested in these two people when he first saw the brochure, and Pihong mentioned that he wanted to meet them during his southern tour.
This place is not a good place to talk too much, Wen Zhen asked the two to get up, then looked at Ying Xiangjie and ordered, "Let the two gentlemen come to the palace later, and chat with me again."
"Follow the order!" Ying Xiangjie stepped forward to salute, and then retreated to the side.He just stood still, but saw that the two men did not move.These two people are not ordinary people, one is full of poems and books, and the other is the richest man in Fujian. His ancestors were also high-ranking officials, and they have seen the world. They probably don't know that this kind of occasion for pick-ups cannot be messed up. Come.
An ominous premonition suddenly arose in Ying Xiangjie's heart, and when he saw the firmness on the faces of the two of them, just as he was about to hold them back, the two of them knelt down on the ground again by coincidence.I only heard Mr. Qing Chuan's loud voice, "Report to the emperor, the student is taking the liberty to play something, please ask the emperor for permission."
Wen Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with displeasure, "Since you have the opportunity to face the saint again, why can't you play it later."
Li Yongfu's face turned pale, but Mr. Qingchuan became more calm. He held a thick booklet in both hands and raised it above his head, "Since this matter is a petition for the people, it should be in front of the people of the world."
After he finished speaking, some of the people who were standing far outside watching the excitement suddenly knelt down and shouted in unison, "I beseech the emperor's permission."
"Good! Good! Good! This is definitely a surprise for me." Wen Zhen said angrily, gave Ying Xiangjie a hard look, and then signaled Li Deming to go forward and take the booklet.
Ying Xiangjie was so frightened that he was sweating coldly, but in the submerged weather, he seemed to be immersed in an ice cellar.Seeing Wen Zhen start to flip through the notebook, his mind suddenly cleared up.As early as the beginning of the month, someone had mentioned Lord Xiao Ning's suspected eldest prince who died young. After the news came from Beijing that the prince was seriously injured and still awake, this kind of talk became more and more serious.
People in other places may just think about it in their hearts, but in the area of Jiangnan and Fujian, Mr. Xiao Ning has a very high reputation. His legendary deeds have been praised all the time, and everyone is not confused. Knowing that now who brought the good days.Because the situation in the south of the Yangtze River is relatively complicated, people who have become rich through setting up factories are having trouble with some local ethnic groups. Therefore, Fujian, which was not very wealthy, worships Xiaoning the most, and there is even a self-established promotion society. , specially used to study his articles and various political views, and Mr. Qingchuan and Li Yongfu are the directors and vice presidents.
Two days ago, Ying Xiangjie heard people discussing that it would be great if Sir Xiao Ning was really the eldest prince. If such a son with both civil and military skills was born in the royal family, the world would definitely be governed better.So someone whimsically mentioned that if there were petitions from all the people to let the emperor and Lord Xiao Ning recognize each other with blood, if the law was wrong, the emperor would not be held accountable, and the emperor would be most furious, but if it was true...
Ying Xiangjie took it as a joke when he heard it at the time, and didn't take it to heart. He is not one of those hard-working scholars who are easily provoked by others, nor is he one of those simple-minded fools. There must be someone who can face the Holy Spirit, but even if other people can escape punishment, those who hold the petition are probably in danger. Who would be so stupid to risk their lives for this slim chance! ?Not to mention that there is no benefit in doing so, if Master Xiao Ning is really of royal blood and wants to be on the throne, with his literary and military mind, he might have started to win people over by himself, how could he fade out of the court like he is now.
Just when Ying Xiangjie was full of grievances and cursing Mr. Qingchuan and Li Yongfu, Wen Zhen had already read the book at a glance.He glared at the two people kneeling on the ground, turned around and threw the booklet at Ning Yunjin who was behind him, "Look at it yourself, I didn't expect that, Mr. Ning, you are more famous among the people than I am. "
If other courtiers heard Wen Zhen's words, they would be punished, and they would immediately kneel down in fear and beg for mercy.But if it falls on Ning Yunjin, it is naturally Wen Zhen's sincere words, and he is also happy in his heart.So in the eyes of others, the handsome Xiaoning lord calmly caught the paper that the emperor threw, and confessed to the emperor with an extremely graceful posture, and then looked at the book that condensed their hard work with the emperor's acquiescence. booklet.
Ning Yunjin looked at the contents of the booklet, and was really moved.There are not many words written in the book, it is nothing more than a lengthy paragraph of nonsense boasting himself as a rare talent in the world, and then at the end he raised doubts about his identity, pointing out that such suspicions are not groundless, and asked the emperor to verify his identity .Through Wenzhen's spy agency, we have already known about the Hongyang Academy, but when we really saw this book of Wanmin covered with fingerprints and signatures in less than three days, I couldn't help but feel sorry for these two. The "fool" who was kneeling on the ground felt admiration.
He and Wen Zhen had guessed several ways Ruolin and the others would use to prove their identities, but they never expected that the other party would use these people who wholeheartedly respected and loved them in an open and honest way.Ning Yunjin knew better than anyone else about things like petitions. He didn't collude with them in advance. Even if he proved that he was really the eldest prince, these two people would not get the slightest benefit. On the contrary, it was because the emperor lost face. On the bright side, he will not be punished, but if he turns around, he will be retaliated against.
Ning Yunjin closed the folder, Yun Gong squeezed out a few drops of cold sweat from his forehead, knelt down with a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, I am terrified. Please learn from me, this matter has nothing to do with me."
When he spoke, his cheeks were pale, and his black and white eyes contained hazy mist, but he had a kind of pitiful look.Wen Zhen had never seen him like this before, even though he knew that the guy in front of him was acting, his heart was still a little turbulent, the expression of such an arrogant little thing made people want to bully him even more...
Just when Wenzhen's thoughts were so evil that they were about to break through the sky, under the leadership of Mr. Qingchuan and Li Yongfu, the words "seeking the emperor's permission" echoed on the pier again.
Even though Wen Zhen, who is a film king, was thinking about other things in his heart, his face was serious and gloomy, which frightened the less timid Li Yongfu so much that his heart almost jumped out.When he felt the emperor's eyes on him, he secretly said, I will die.
When Li Yongfu was thinking about his various ways of death, Wen Zhen suddenly became expressionless. He first stepped forward to help Ning Yunjin up with his own hands, and then said loudly, "I have heard about these things many years ago." Rumor has it that I only hoped to stop at wise men, but it seems that the only way to stop all of you talking is to confess blood in public."
No one would have thought that Wen Zhen would agree so easily, everyone was stunned, and some veteran officials felt that this would be detrimental to the royal family's dignity, and were about to speak.Wen Zhen didn't read it at all, and raised his right hand to silence them, just looked at Mr. Qingchuan and Li Yongfu and said, "Since the Wanming Book was presented to me by you two, it must be quite trusted by the people, and it will be released in an hour. Come to the Governor's Mansion to see for yourself the result of the blood test!"
Wen Zhen walked away with a flick of his sleeves after finishing speaking, and passed by the one on the pier, without having to watch any welcome programs, the entire guard of honor was surrounded by people from three floors inside and three floors outside, and went directly to the Governor's Mansion.Along the way, everyone was thinking of their own, and looked at Ning Yunjin who was riding beside Yu Jia with complicated expressions from time to time.
Because of this strangest event in this dynasty, the governor's mansion is now more lively than ever before, with more people gathered than during the last civil disturbance.However, when Yu Jia stayed here, he naturally wouldn't let ordinary people get too close. Almost all the common people were isolated by officers and soldiers. Only Mr. Qingchuan and Li Yongfu were invited in.
Unlike Li Yongfu's uneasiness, Mr. Qingchuan straightened his back when he walked into the lobby of the Governor's Mansion, and met the deadly eyes of the dignitaries in the lobby without timidity.
Although he was humiliated by these two people in public, Wenzhen still had a good impression of Mr. Qingchuan, but he said coldly with a hint of displeasure on his face, "Since you're here, let's get ready to start." Thanks to you who have read the books of sages, you still believe such absurd rumors." He asked slightly sarcastically, "I have ordered people to prepare the potion, if you don't believe it, you can use the one you provided. "
"Please appease the emperor!" Wen Zhen spoke accusingly, Mr. Qing Chuan and Li Yongfu immediately knelt on the ground to beg for forgiveness, and kept saying, "I dare not."
"What else are you afraid of?" Wen Zhen snorted coldly, but turned his head to signal Li Deming to start.
Li Deming took the tray he had prepared earlier from the little eunuch behind him, and calmly walked in front of Wen Zhen.There was a bowl of prepared medicine and a sharp silver knife on the tray. Wen Zhen took the knife and cut on his ring finger, squeezed out a drop of blood and let it fall into the bowl.
Seeing Li Deming walking in front of him with a tray, Ning Yunjin lamented that the world is tricky, most people would have the experience of confessing their relatives twice, and each time with the same person.Thinking of this, his hand holding the silver knife paused, looked up at Wen Zhen, and also cut a cut on his ring finger.
The drop of blood that quickly dripped into the bowl attracted everyone's attention, and then their eyes followed Li Deming involuntarily until he put the tray on a table in the middle of the lobby.It wasn't until he backed away silently that someone realized that he had forgotten to breathe.
As we all know, both Ning Yunjin and Wen Zhen are of blood, and their blood will not be fused casually. The two drops of blood in the almost transparent glass bowl are clearly separated at first, and each occupies one side. After ten breaths, it gradually dissolves in the potion. Melted, and then slowly merged into one in the eyes of everyone.
Ning Yunjin quickly glanced at the expressions of everyone, some were shocked, some were delighted, and of course more were the calm old foxes.
"Impossible! How could Qing Yang be the eldest prince!" Suddenly there was an exclamation in the hall, Ning Yunjin followed the reputation, but he didn't expect that Ruo Qi would be the first to question and stand up.
I saw that Ruoqi stood up, stepped forward quickly, clasped his fists at Wen Zhen and said, "Your Majesty, there must be something strange in this. I heard that several years ago, Qing Yang had confessed his relationship with Master Ning in front of Da Zong with a drop of blood. Da Zong Zongzheng himself said that the blood of their father and son is fused together."
"Then what about the result!" Wen Zhen slapped him hard, and said angrily, "Two blood drops, two results, there must be an explanation. I want to see who dares to deceive the king!"
Wen Zhen's feigned anger naturally couldn't scare Ning Yunjin, but he still showed a bit of panic on his face.Even without perception, Ning Yunjin knew that everyone was waiting for him to speak, and he even saw gloating in the eyes of many people.
At this time, he also somewhat understood the reason why Qi Qi and his group acted like this, and the seemingly most absurd conspiracy would be even more difficult to crack.If I was really greedy for profit and chose to betray Ning Jingxian, my adoptive father, no matter what the reason was, it would be considered unrighteous in the eyes of the world. If I get out of control in the future and then expose the fake blood pill, that would be unfilial. Such a serious crime of deceiving the emperor is even more disloyalty. Such an unfaithful, unrighteous and unfilial person, no matter how talented and capable he is, can't get on the stage, and his business for so many years has become a joke.
Ning Yunjin Yungong squeezed out a few drops of cold sweat, and his cheeks flushed slightly. He looked shocked and panicked. He hurried to the table where the jade bowl was placed, and said anxiously, "My Majesty, I really don't know why Why are the two results different, please enlighten the emperor."
"Are you my emperor's son? Don't tell me I don't know. If Ning Jingxian has the ability to bring a living child out of the palace, it would be so strange!" Wen Zhen said with a gloomy expression, "Come on , let me go and investigate this matter carefully!"
Seeing Wenzhen's categorical refusal to admit the result of this bloody confession, Mr. Qingchuan and Li Yongfu couldn't help but feel a little anxious, but they also knew that they would never have the chance to speak up on such an occasion.But if they don't speak, it doesn't mean that other people are not in a hurry.
Ning Yunjin winked at Ruolin cryptically, and he nodded imperceptibly, then stepped forward resolutely, pointed at the jade bowl and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you ask someone to test the authenticity of this potion first?" , in case Lord Xiaoning is really...it will not be too late to punish Ning Jingxian for his crimes!"
Wen Zhen nodded with a look of displeasure, and someone immediately invited the accompanying imperial physician.Although blood testers need unique potions, most of the doctors in the clan can prepare them.After the three white-haired old men were invited out, they watched and sniffed together, and one of them even dipped a little liquid with his little finger and put it in his mouth. Finally, they agreed that the liquid was fine.
As soon as their words fell, there was an uproar in the lobby. You must know that the prince is still seriously injured. If there is any accident, the emperor will have to choose an heir again. Now it is proved that Ning Yunjin came from the royal family, and he was the eldest prince who died in the legend.Originally, the emperor favored Lord Xiao Ning very much, but when he was a nephew, he cared more than his own son. If he really became the prince, he would be the leader and the virtuous, and his abilities in all aspects are outstanding. I'm afraid there is no competitiveness at all. When that time comes, the forces in the DPRK will probably start to reshuffle the cards again for the sake of their support.
The various calculations of these people naturally did not escape Ruo Lin's scrutiny, he was secretly complacent, but after Ning Yunjin glanced at him, he suddenly said, "Reporting to the emperor, I suddenly remembered something."
Wen Zhen nodded, "Zuo. I would like to hear what other excuses you have."
Ning Yunjin took out the jade bottle in his sleeve, held it up with both hands, and said with a little doubt, "I remember that three days ago, a court lady sent a bottle of medicine, which was said to be the summer medicine given by the emperor. No doubt, I took two pills, but yesterday I heard from other adults that the emperor did not give medicine, so I deliberately didn't take the last pill. Now that I think about it, I wonder if it might be the medicine. "
"It is true that I have never given medicine before, but I want to know who is so bold." Wen Zhen pretended to take the medicine bottle from him, and he could smell the tangy fragrance just by opening the bottle cap. He handed it to Li Deming and ordered , "It smells like good medicine, it's too good to use it just to escape the summer heat! Let them test it."
"Lord Ning, this is a major matter that concerns the community, you can't talk about it at will." Ruo Lin couldn't hide the anger in his eyes, and said excitedly.
Ning Yunjin's glance before opening his mouth was a little obvious, but now he seems to be a little panicked, and some people who are as clear as a mirror are already suspicious at this moment.Ruoqi sarcastically said, "Why are you so excited? Master Ning didn't say that you gave this medicine."
"You..." Ruo Linman glared at him with resentment, but after all, he was quite deep in the city, so he recovered his emotions in an instant, and said calmly, "You don't have to help Ning Yunjin scramble and bite. You can bring a maid on board, Apart from the emperor, there are only the two of us. But if you want to rely on me, you need evidence, the emperor is wise, how can you just listen to your one-sided words."
"Exquisite! It's so exquisite!" The three old imperial doctors over there who were testing the medicine suddenly exclaimed, which immediately attracted the attention of others.After they discussed it with each other, they recommended one, and the old imperial doctor said, "My Majesty, this medicine contains fake blood pills. It is the best. There are countless people in the world who can make such pills, as long as we investigate their recent whereabouts, we can find out where the medicine came from."
As he spoke, he paused again, "I just don't know if the emperor's blood has been taken recently..."
Wen Zhen stared coldly, and said coldly, "The last assassination!"
If Lin Xin knew that he could no longer deny it, he immediately put his hands in his sleeves and stretched out his hands, holding three black bullets the size of longan in each hand, and threw the one with his left hand towards Wen Zhen, and the one with his right hand towards the courtiers.
"Escort!"
"There are assassins!"
No one knew what he threw, and the governor's mansion was in chaos, some panicked and hurriedly dodged, and some were ready to risk their lives to escort them.Ning Yunjin was not in a hurry. Although the guards generally would not search these high-ranking officials too carefully, they were not allowed to bring anything larger than a certain size. Even a bomb the size of a longan with the technology of later generations would not be able to kill anyone. , let alone this era, it is estimated that at most it is just some smoke or smoke bombs.
Sure enough, as he expected, when the projectile landed, a thick white smoke quickly filled the air, and there were no casualties.But Ruo Lin took advantage of the panic, rushed to the door, and released a bright flare.
After seeing the signal flare exploded in the air, Ruolin was no longer anxious, and said to the humanity in the lobby with a handsome face showing some sternness, "You are all going to die here today."
"I still want to struggle when I'm about to die!" Ruoqi had already disliked him, and stepped forward to take him down.Suddenly, he found two figures in front of Ruo Lin. He waited to take a closer look, and his heart suddenly turned cold, and he exclaimed in a trembling voice, "Master Bi, Master Wu..."
"Zongzheng Ruolin, you collaborator and traitor, you don't deserve the surname Zongzheng!" Ruoqi was also a clear-headed person, so he immediately guessed that Ruolin saw that the trick was useless, so he directly forced it.Although such conspiracy is the next strategy, but in order to protect the princes in the palace, the guards around the emperor are now worse than ever. Let alone two great masters, I am afraid that only one will come here and all the lives will be filled in. useless.
now
Although Wen Zhen had never heard of this sentence, he understood the same truth very early on.In today's world, the top-level armed forces like the grand master are the big killers that can determine the fate of the country. Otherwise, no matter how beautiful you are, if a grand master who is going all out wants to take someone's head all the time, it is really a big deal. Terrible thing!
The palace is not even sure that it is 100% safe, let alone the houses of other ministers!
It is precisely because of this sense of crisis hanging over his head as a driving force that Wen Zhen, as an emperor, has persisted in practicing martial arts for decades.If there is no such variable as Ning Yunjin, with Wenzhen's aptitude, there is still hope for advancement in a few years - this was the case in Ning Yunjin's previous life.
If it weren't for the two of them who couldn't bear it anymore, those who were forced would not give their own time to develop, and they would not have agreed to take this opportunity to use their tricks and make various arrangements.
In the plan of the two, the real main battlefield is not Yangzhou.Therefore, the defense was arranged, and a team of people was left to deal with the aftermath of the assassination. Wen Zhen's royal boat set sail again, heading for Hangzhou.
Since two years ago, under the pretext of Japanese pirates disturbing the border, Wen Zhen summoned a group of ministers to re-arm the coastal provinces. He personally delineated a piece of land around the West Lake to build a banner camp, and stationed [-] troops.This move not only intimidated the growing pirates and Japanese pirates, but also calmed down Jiangnan, which was already full of impetuousness because of the booming economy.
In less than a day, Yu Zhou walked along the Grand Canal and entered this barracks. This newly built garrison was already like a city within a city, and it was built as solid as gold.
From a distance, the undulating and uniform tents add a bit of majestic beauty to the beautiful Jiangnan scenery, and this place will also become the foothold of the Southern Tour team in Hangzhou.
Wen Zhen and his party will stay in Hangzhou for a while, of course not just to enjoy the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River.According to the arrangement, it took a lot of time to do a series of things such as inspecting newly built water conservancy projects, reviewing flag camps, meeting local officials and gentry, and I had already stayed in Hangzhou for nearly ten days before I knew it.
The two waited wholeheartedly for the move, but they didn't expect that the other party hadn't made a move during this period of time.In a blink of an eye, it was time for Yuzhou to leave Hangzhou, and this night Ning Yunjin went into Wenzhen's room again to discuss with him.
Compared to Ning Yunjin's eagerness, Wen Zhen was quite calm, made a cup of tea for him leisurely, and said with a smile, "They have been planning for so many years, it is impossible to win over two great masters, and success is in sight. It’s time to suddenly let go and do nothing. The reason why we haven’t done anything recently is probably because we are afraid of us living in the banner camp.”
Ning Yunjin couldn't guess this, but he couldn't help but frowned, "Those aristocratic families have accumulated thousands of years, and no one knows what other methods they have. The teacher didn't teach me too much back then. They took your blood..."
Wen Zhen laughed, but his concern for him was very beneficial. He took Ning Yunjin's hand and pulled him into his arms, and then said, "Your care is messed up. With the little blood they got, even It is not enough to perform any large-scale spells. If you want to force it, you need to use a lot of sacrifices. Now this is in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is not on the prairie like it used to be. Now there is martial law everywhere in the city, and suspicious places in the past People are being watched, how can it be so easy for them to do things."
Ning Yunjin was pierced by him and glared at him, looking rather annoyed. He "ruthlessly" rejected Wen Zhen's request to let him stay overnight, and he went straight back to his room to rest.
In the early morning of the next day, Yu Zhou slowly left the port.The morning sun on the deck is bright, and there is a gentle breeze blowing on the face. It is most comfortable to rest and enjoy the cool on the deck.According to the habit formed in these days, while taking a breath, Wen Zhen summoned some ministers who were on board the ship to discuss the government affairs.
Usually at this time, except for the busy maids and eunuchs who are serving, everyone else can relax a little bit, after all, it is clear at a glance whether the boat is in danger or not.
Ning Yunjin seemed to be standing leisurely behind Wenzhen, but his attention was focused on his surroundings. There was no movement for an hour ahead. Looking back from the tall royal boat, he could no longer see the shadow of Hangzhou City.
Seeing the sun rising into the sky and the temperature slowly rising, Wen Zhen saw that a thin layer of sweat was already dripping from the brows of some puffy ministers, so he ended the topic and let them leave one by one to go back to their respective cabins to rest.
Ning Yunjin also followed the crowd down the deck. The floor he was on was either rich or expensive, and everyone had a special status, so there were not many people living there. He had just entered his cabin, and before he had time to sit down, he listened to There was a knock on the door outside.
"Who?" Ning Yunjin didn't open the door right away, but asked first.After all, someone was looking for him as soon as he entered the door. It was impossible not to keep an eye on the situation here.
"Reporting to Mrs. Xiao Ning, this servant is ordered by the emperor to give you medicine to prevent heatstroke."
The woman's voice outside the door was pretty and sweet, but Ning Yunjin was even more vigilant in his heart.Today he came back earlier than usual, and even Ye Hai, who had gone out to breathe, hadn't come back in time to serve him. Even if it was really Wen Zhen's order, he would not have delivered it so soon, let alone Wen Zhen knew that he It is impossible for a great master to have the worry of heatstroke, and he will not make such an unnecessary move.
However, Ning Yunjin is now highly skilled and bold, so he changed his mind and simply opened the door directly.Standing outside the door was a woman dressed as a maid of seventeen or eighteen years old. He glanced at her and turned sideways to let the maid into the cabin.
"come in!"
The palace lady was holding a tray in her hand, on which was a flat blue and white porcelain medicine bottle, she first knelt down to Ning Yunjin, said blessing, and then walked in the door.
Ning Yunjin closed the cabin door, picked up the bottle and put a pad on his hand, looked at the maid coldly and said, "You are not someone close to the emperor at all, so who sent you here?"
The court lady smiled lightly, and the trace of flattery on her face was immediately wiped away. She smiled and complimented, "Master Xiao Ning has good eyesight, and this servant is indeed not the emperor's person. But the master is worried about your health, so I specially let you The servant has brought you medicine."
After thinking about it, Ning Yunjin knew who the master she was talking about was. After all, this time he was traveling with the driver, except for the clan, he was not allowed to bring the female family and maids. But most of them have seen it, but they have never seen this maid, and there is only one other person who has something to do with him.
"My son is determined, go back to your master. Ning will personally thank him if he has a chance some other day." Ning Yunjin put the bottle on the table as he spoke.
Unexpectedly, the court lady took a step forward, holding the porcelain vase in front of Ning Yunjin again with a pair of jade hands, and said with a smile, "Lord Xiao Ning, the master ordered the servant to watch you take this medicine. Please don't be embarrassed. "
Ning Yunjin didn't take it this time, but sneered, "I'm afraid this isn't some kind of anti-heatstroke medicine!"
"Master is right, Master Xiao Ning is really a smart person." The court lady was not alarmed when she was exposed, and she smiled softly, "Master asked this servant to tell Sir that this medicine is specially asked for, and it can heal your lost soul. You have been resting for such a long time because of this illness, although the emperor still treats you as an adult, it is not a good thing to stay away from the court for too long."
Seeing that the maid finished speaking, she stared at herself with her eyes like lacquer, but under the shy expression that was hesitant to speak, there was a toughness that could not be ignored. .
If Ning Yunjin wanted to put on a show and drive people away, it would be fine, but beating a dog depends on the owner, and he is now in a cooperative relationship with them... So he snorted coldly, picked up the bottle and poured out a pill. The pill, without looking at it, was thrown into the mouth.
Seeing his straightforwardness, the court lady explained with a soft smile, "My lord, this medicine is indeed a rare and good medicine. There are only three pills in a bottle, so it can be said to be priceless. If you don't believe me, try it out and you will know!"
Ning Yunjin is already a grand master now, and there are very few medicines that can affect him in this world. He doesn't worry about the other party's tricks on it at all, and he really swallowed the pill.
Hearing the maid's explanation, he became curious instead, and he can flexibly use every part of his body in the realm of a great master.With a little exercise, the stomach moved faster, and the medicinal power dissipated immediately. He clearly felt a cool air start to circulate along the meridians, silently nourishing the place where it circulated, even with his current cultivation base It is very beneficial, if only ordinary warriors can increase their cultivation for at least one or two years after using this medicine, it can be seen that the materials used in this medicine are precious, and they are indeed worth a thousand gold.
But in an instant, Ning Yunjin felt a trace of undetectable blood in his throat. He has not spent these three years in vain. Thanks to his own photographic memory, at least he has surpassed most of the medicinal materials in the ability to distinguish Combined with the pharmacological knowledge he has learned in the past few years, he instantly understood the key.
A flash of anger flashed in Ning Yunjin's heart, but he also let go of what he had been holding on to all the time, knowing where Ruolin and the others used Wenzhen's blood, he finally didn't have to think about it.
It turned out that this medicine was made extremely exquisitely, the outer layer was a medicine that could enhance the power and calm the mind, but the inside was a fake blood pill.The content of fake blood pills in this pill is very small, and the blood energy is not as strong as the one he used to eat. If the ingredients were not similar to the one he remembered, Ning Yunjin would hardly be able to identify it. Thought it was the taste of the pill itself.
The author has something to say: Seeing that Ning Yunjin took the medicine so simply, a look of surprise flashed in the eyes of the maid, knowing that she was not welcome, she didn't stay any longer, she smiled and told her to take a pill every day, and then she left , went back and reported to the master.
The other party took out this medicine, that is to say, completely opened the hole card, and took one pill a day, so if there is no accident, the activation time will be the day after tomorrow.Ning Yunjin sneered, put the medicine bottle in his sleeve, and began to think about it in his heart.
According to the itinerary, three days is enough time for them to change into one large, four small and five sea ships and go to Ningbo Port.Wen Zhen and his party arrived in the afternoon, and the sun was high in the sky. Although there were soldiers enforcing martial law along the coast, there were crowds of people more than ten miles along the way.
This kind of lively scene has been staged frequently since leaving Beijing, and the people on the sea boat are not surprised. After all, this is the emperor's second southern tour, and there was another big victory in the court. If it's bigger, it's perfectly normal for those ignorant people to like to join in the fun.It wasn't until the sailors shouted and were about to dock that the accompanying officials stepped onto the deck one after another.
The air at the seaside is hot and humid, and even the breath seems to have a salty humidity under the sun. Many officials from the north are sweating, but they dare not show the slightest disrespect on such an occasion where everyone is watching. Big drops flowed down from the forehead, and they could only wipe their faces with sweat towels from time to time, looking a little embarrassed.
Against their backdrop, Wen Zhen and Ning Yunjin, who took the lead in walking in the front, looked extraordinarily special.Even though they were wearing heavy formal attire, the appearance of the two of them was not messy at all, and they boarded the pier with the guard of honor one after the other like strolling in the courtyard.Even without considering their identities, such a heroic demeanor made people involuntarily turn their attention to them.
"Look, that's Master Xiao Ning."
"Master Xiao Ning is indeed the youngest Sanyuan..."
Ning Yunjin listened to someone whispering in the crowd separated by soldiers in the distance, smiled inwardly indifferently, and then set his sights on Ying Xiangjie, the governor of Fujian who was coming up to him, profusely sweating.
I saw Ying Xiangjie leading the eight people behind him to kneel in front of Wenzhen, shouting long live, and after he finished shouting, everyone immediately knelt down on the ground.
"Let's get down!" Wen Zhen waved his hand to make them all stand up, and when he turned his gaze, he noticed the two people behind him, "Who are these two?"
It can't be blamed on the two old men, one fat and one thin, for eye contact, six of the eight people are wearing official robes, only the two of them are wearing blouses and silk, they don't look like people in the officialdom.However, being able to be brought out by Ying Xiangjie on such an occasion to welcome them is enough to prove that not only their identities are credible, but they should also have some prestige in Fujian.
Ying Xiangjie quickly pointed to the thin old man in a blouse and said, "My Majesty, this is Mr. Qing Chuan from Hongfei Academy." Then he pointed to the fat old man who looked very rich and said, "This is Mr. Li Yongfu, the chairman of the Fujian Merchant Guild."
"Oh!" As soon as Wenzhen heard his introduction, he remembered the origins of these two people, "It turns out that the two of you are the leaders who made great contributions in the last war against the Japanese. I remember that one of you once organized the people, and the other took the lead in donating money. Over money and food. Not bad, not bad, all good!"
Being praised by Wenzhen himself on such an occasion, the two were so excited that they knelt down to thank each other.
With Ning Yunjin's memory, he naturally remembered the reason why the two of them were able to appear here. As the coastal areas became more and more prosperous, the law and order in the past two years became more and more chaotic.There were frequent conflicts between the newly developed workshop owners and the local gentry, and pirates and Japanese pirates could not bear the temptation of interests, and from time to time there were some life-threatening lawsuits. In the end, Wenzhen angrily sent a large army to pay them off, perhaps the last rebound At the end of spring, a large number of Japanese pirates and pirates, together with some internal traitors colluded, came up with a plan to lure the army away from Ningbo City, and took the opportunity to gather thousands of people to launch a surprise attack.
When those thieves were burning, killing and looting in the city, it was Mr. Qingchuan who raised his arms and shouted to use his local reputation to organize the people to start rebelling. Li Yongfu provided them with money, food and weapons, and dealt with the thieves for two days , Persisted until the army rushed back to suppress the bandits.
It was what these two people did at the beginning that saved many people, and their reputation among the people reached its peak for a while, and they were respected by everyone.When Ying Xiangjie handed over the booklet to plead guilty, he specifically mentioned the merits of the two and pleaded for them.Wenzhen had been interested in these two people when he first saw the brochure, and Pihong mentioned that he wanted to meet them during his southern tour.
This place is not a good place to talk too much, Wen Zhen asked the two to get up, then looked at Ying Xiangjie and ordered, "Let the two gentlemen come to the palace later, and chat with me again."
"Follow the order!" Ying Xiangjie stepped forward to salute, and then retreated to the side.He just stood still, but saw that the two men did not move.These two people are not ordinary people, one is full of poems and books, and the other is the richest man in Fujian. His ancestors were also high-ranking officials, and they have seen the world. They probably don't know that this kind of occasion for pick-ups cannot be messed up. Come.
An ominous premonition suddenly arose in Ying Xiangjie's heart, and when he saw the firmness on the faces of the two of them, just as he was about to hold them back, the two of them knelt down on the ground again by coincidence.I only heard Mr. Qing Chuan's loud voice, "Report to the emperor, the student is taking the liberty to play something, please ask the emperor for permission."
Wen Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with displeasure, "Since you have the opportunity to face the saint again, why can't you play it later."
Li Yongfu's face turned pale, but Mr. Qingchuan became more calm. He held a thick booklet in both hands and raised it above his head, "Since this matter is a petition for the people, it should be in front of the people of the world."
After he finished speaking, some of the people who were standing far outside watching the excitement suddenly knelt down and shouted in unison, "I beseech the emperor's permission."
"Good! Good! Good! This is definitely a surprise for me." Wen Zhen said angrily, gave Ying Xiangjie a hard look, and then signaled Li Deming to go forward and take the booklet.
Ying Xiangjie was so frightened that he was sweating coldly, but in the submerged weather, he seemed to be immersed in an ice cellar.Seeing Wen Zhen start to flip through the notebook, his mind suddenly cleared up.As early as the beginning of the month, someone had mentioned Lord Xiao Ning's suspected eldest prince who died young. After the news came from Beijing that the prince was seriously injured and still awake, this kind of talk became more and more serious.
People in other places may just think about it in their hearts, but in the area of Jiangnan and Fujian, Mr. Xiao Ning has a very high reputation. His legendary deeds have been praised all the time, and everyone is not confused. Knowing that now who brought the good days.Because the situation in the south of the Yangtze River is relatively complicated, people who have become rich through setting up factories are having trouble with some local ethnic groups. Therefore, Fujian, which was not very wealthy, worships Xiaoning the most, and there is even a self-established promotion society. , specially used to study his articles and various political views, and Mr. Qingchuan and Li Yongfu are the directors and vice presidents.
Two days ago, Ying Xiangjie heard people discussing that it would be great if Sir Xiao Ning was really the eldest prince. If such a son with both civil and military skills was born in the royal family, the world would definitely be governed better.So someone whimsically mentioned that if there were petitions from all the people to let the emperor and Lord Xiao Ning recognize each other with blood, if the law was wrong, the emperor would not be held accountable, and the emperor would be most furious, but if it was true...
Ying Xiangjie took it as a joke when he heard it at the time, and didn't take it to heart. He is not one of those hard-working scholars who are easily provoked by others, nor is he one of those simple-minded fools. There must be someone who can face the Holy Spirit, but even if other people can escape punishment, those who hold the petition are probably in danger. Who would be so stupid to risk their lives for this slim chance! ?Not to mention that there is no benefit in doing so, if Master Xiao Ning is really of royal blood and wants to be on the throne, with his literary and military mind, he might have started to win people over by himself, how could he fade out of the court like he is now.
Just when Ying Xiangjie was full of grievances and cursing Mr. Qingchuan and Li Yongfu, Wen Zhen had already read the book at a glance.He glared at the two people kneeling on the ground, turned around and threw the booklet at Ning Yunjin who was behind him, "Look at it yourself, I didn't expect that, Mr. Ning, you are more famous among the people than I am. "
If other courtiers heard Wen Zhen's words, they would be punished, and they would immediately kneel down in fear and beg for mercy.But if it falls on Ning Yunjin, it is naturally Wen Zhen's sincere words, and he is also happy in his heart.So in the eyes of others, the handsome Xiaoning lord calmly caught the paper that the emperor threw, and confessed to the emperor with an extremely graceful posture, and then looked at the book that condensed their hard work with the emperor's acquiescence. booklet.
Ning Yunjin looked at the contents of the booklet, and was really moved.There are not many words written in the book, it is nothing more than a lengthy paragraph of nonsense boasting himself as a rare talent in the world, and then at the end he raised doubts about his identity, pointing out that such suspicions are not groundless, and asked the emperor to verify his identity .Through Wenzhen's spy agency, we have already known about the Hongyang Academy, but when we really saw this book of Wanmin covered with fingerprints and signatures in less than three days, I couldn't help but feel sorry for these two. The "fool" who was kneeling on the ground felt admiration.
He and Wen Zhen had guessed several ways Ruolin and the others would use to prove their identities, but they never expected that the other party would use these people who wholeheartedly respected and loved them in an open and honest way.Ning Yunjin knew better than anyone else about things like petitions. He didn't collude with them in advance. Even if he proved that he was really the eldest prince, these two people would not get the slightest benefit. On the contrary, it was because the emperor lost face. On the bright side, he will not be punished, but if he turns around, he will be retaliated against.
Ning Yunjin closed the folder, Yun Gong squeezed out a few drops of cold sweat from his forehead, knelt down with a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, I am terrified. Please learn from me, this matter has nothing to do with me."
When he spoke, his cheeks were pale, and his black and white eyes contained hazy mist, but he had a kind of pitiful look.Wen Zhen had never seen him like this before, even though he knew that the guy in front of him was acting, his heart was still a little turbulent, the expression of such an arrogant little thing made people want to bully him even more...
Just when Wenzhen's thoughts were so evil that they were about to break through the sky, under the leadership of Mr. Qingchuan and Li Yongfu, the words "seeking the emperor's permission" echoed on the pier again.
Even though Wen Zhen, who is a film king, was thinking about other things in his heart, his face was serious and gloomy, which frightened the less timid Li Yongfu so much that his heart almost jumped out.When he felt the emperor's eyes on him, he secretly said, I will die.
When Li Yongfu was thinking about his various ways of death, Wen Zhen suddenly became expressionless. He first stepped forward to help Ning Yunjin up with his own hands, and then said loudly, "I have heard about these things many years ago." Rumor has it that I only hoped to stop at wise men, but it seems that the only way to stop all of you talking is to confess blood in public."
No one would have thought that Wen Zhen would agree so easily, everyone was stunned, and some veteran officials felt that this would be detrimental to the royal family's dignity, and were about to speak.Wen Zhen didn't read it at all, and raised his right hand to silence them, just looked at Mr. Qingchuan and Li Yongfu and said, "Since the Wanming Book was presented to me by you two, it must be quite trusted by the people, and it will be released in an hour. Come to the Governor's Mansion to see for yourself the result of the blood test!"
Wen Zhen walked away with a flick of his sleeves after finishing speaking, and passed by the one on the pier, without having to watch any welcome programs, the entire guard of honor was surrounded by people from three floors inside and three floors outside, and went directly to the Governor's Mansion.Along the way, everyone was thinking of their own, and looked at Ning Yunjin who was riding beside Yu Jia with complicated expressions from time to time.
Because of this strangest event in this dynasty, the governor's mansion is now more lively than ever before, with more people gathered than during the last civil disturbance.However, when Yu Jia stayed here, he naturally wouldn't let ordinary people get too close. Almost all the common people were isolated by officers and soldiers. Only Mr. Qingchuan and Li Yongfu were invited in.
Unlike Li Yongfu's uneasiness, Mr. Qingchuan straightened his back when he walked into the lobby of the Governor's Mansion, and met the deadly eyes of the dignitaries in the lobby without timidity.
Although he was humiliated by these two people in public, Wenzhen still had a good impression of Mr. Qingchuan, but he said coldly with a hint of displeasure on his face, "Since you're here, let's get ready to start." Thanks to you who have read the books of sages, you still believe such absurd rumors." He asked slightly sarcastically, "I have ordered people to prepare the potion, if you don't believe it, you can use the one you provided. "
"Please appease the emperor!" Wen Zhen spoke accusingly, Mr. Qing Chuan and Li Yongfu immediately knelt on the ground to beg for forgiveness, and kept saying, "I dare not."
"What else are you afraid of?" Wen Zhen snorted coldly, but turned his head to signal Li Deming to start.
Li Deming took the tray he had prepared earlier from the little eunuch behind him, and calmly walked in front of Wen Zhen.There was a bowl of prepared medicine and a sharp silver knife on the tray. Wen Zhen took the knife and cut on his ring finger, squeezed out a drop of blood and let it fall into the bowl.
Seeing Li Deming walking in front of him with a tray, Ning Yunjin lamented that the world is tricky, most people would have the experience of confessing their relatives twice, and each time with the same person.Thinking of this, his hand holding the silver knife paused, looked up at Wen Zhen, and also cut a cut on his ring finger.
The drop of blood that quickly dripped into the bowl attracted everyone's attention, and then their eyes followed Li Deming involuntarily until he put the tray on a table in the middle of the lobby.It wasn't until he backed away silently that someone realized that he had forgotten to breathe.
As we all know, both Ning Yunjin and Wen Zhen are of blood, and their blood will not be fused casually. The two drops of blood in the almost transparent glass bowl are clearly separated at first, and each occupies one side. After ten breaths, it gradually dissolves in the potion. Melted, and then slowly merged into one in the eyes of everyone.
Ning Yunjin quickly glanced at the expressions of everyone, some were shocked, some were delighted, and of course more were the calm old foxes.
"Impossible! How could Qing Yang be the eldest prince!" Suddenly there was an exclamation in the hall, Ning Yunjin followed the reputation, but he didn't expect that Ruo Qi would be the first to question and stand up.
I saw that Ruoqi stood up, stepped forward quickly, clasped his fists at Wen Zhen and said, "Your Majesty, there must be something strange in this. I heard that several years ago, Qing Yang had confessed his relationship with Master Ning in front of Da Zong with a drop of blood. Da Zong Zongzheng himself said that the blood of their father and son is fused together."
"Then what about the result!" Wen Zhen slapped him hard, and said angrily, "Two blood drops, two results, there must be an explanation. I want to see who dares to deceive the king!"
Wen Zhen's feigned anger naturally couldn't scare Ning Yunjin, but he still showed a bit of panic on his face.Even without perception, Ning Yunjin knew that everyone was waiting for him to speak, and he even saw gloating in the eyes of many people.
At this time, he also somewhat understood the reason why Qi Qi and his group acted like this, and the seemingly most absurd conspiracy would be even more difficult to crack.If I was really greedy for profit and chose to betray Ning Jingxian, my adoptive father, no matter what the reason was, it would be considered unrighteous in the eyes of the world. If I get out of control in the future and then expose the fake blood pill, that would be unfilial. Such a serious crime of deceiving the emperor is even more disloyalty. Such an unfaithful, unrighteous and unfilial person, no matter how talented and capable he is, can't get on the stage, and his business for so many years has become a joke.
Ning Yunjin Yungong squeezed out a few drops of cold sweat, and his cheeks flushed slightly. He looked shocked and panicked. He hurried to the table where the jade bowl was placed, and said anxiously, "My Majesty, I really don't know why Why are the two results different, please enlighten the emperor."
"Are you my emperor's son? Don't tell me I don't know. If Ning Jingxian has the ability to bring a living child out of the palace, it would be so strange!" Wen Zhen said with a gloomy expression, "Come on , let me go and investigate this matter carefully!"
Seeing Wenzhen's categorical refusal to admit the result of this bloody confession, Mr. Qingchuan and Li Yongfu couldn't help but feel a little anxious, but they also knew that they would never have the chance to speak up on such an occasion.But if they don't speak, it doesn't mean that other people are not in a hurry.
Ning Yunjin winked at Ruolin cryptically, and he nodded imperceptibly, then stepped forward resolutely, pointed at the jade bowl and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you ask someone to test the authenticity of this potion first?" , in case Lord Xiaoning is really...it will not be too late to punish Ning Jingxian for his crimes!"
Wen Zhen nodded with a look of displeasure, and someone immediately invited the accompanying imperial physician.Although blood testers need unique potions, most of the doctors in the clan can prepare them.After the three white-haired old men were invited out, they watched and sniffed together, and one of them even dipped a little liquid with his little finger and put it in his mouth. Finally, they agreed that the liquid was fine.
As soon as their words fell, there was an uproar in the lobby. You must know that the prince is still seriously injured. If there is any accident, the emperor will have to choose an heir again. Now it is proved that Ning Yunjin came from the royal family, and he was the eldest prince who died in the legend.Originally, the emperor favored Lord Xiao Ning very much, but when he was a nephew, he cared more than his own son. If he really became the prince, he would be the leader and the virtuous, and his abilities in all aspects are outstanding. I'm afraid there is no competitiveness at all. When that time comes, the forces in the DPRK will probably start to reshuffle the cards again for the sake of their support.
The various calculations of these people naturally did not escape Ruo Lin's scrutiny, he was secretly complacent, but after Ning Yunjin glanced at him, he suddenly said, "Reporting to the emperor, I suddenly remembered something."
Wen Zhen nodded, "Zuo. I would like to hear what other excuses you have."
Ning Yunjin took out the jade bottle in his sleeve, held it up with both hands, and said with a little doubt, "I remember that three days ago, a court lady sent a bottle of medicine, which was said to be the summer medicine given by the emperor. No doubt, I took two pills, but yesterday I heard from other adults that the emperor did not give medicine, so I deliberately didn't take the last pill. Now that I think about it, I wonder if it might be the medicine. "
"It is true that I have never given medicine before, but I want to know who is so bold." Wen Zhen pretended to take the medicine bottle from him, and he could smell the tangy fragrance just by opening the bottle cap. He handed it to Li Deming and ordered , "It smells like good medicine, it's too good to use it just to escape the summer heat! Let them test it."
"Lord Ning, this is a major matter that concerns the community, you can't talk about it at will." Ruo Lin couldn't hide the anger in his eyes, and said excitedly.
Ning Yunjin's glance before opening his mouth was a little obvious, but now he seems to be a little panicked, and some people who are as clear as a mirror are already suspicious at this moment.Ruoqi sarcastically said, "Why are you so excited? Master Ning didn't say that you gave this medicine."
"You..." Ruo Linman glared at him with resentment, but after all, he was quite deep in the city, so he recovered his emotions in an instant, and said calmly, "You don't have to help Ning Yunjin scramble and bite. You can bring a maid on board, Apart from the emperor, there are only the two of us. But if you want to rely on me, you need evidence, the emperor is wise, how can you just listen to your one-sided words."
"Exquisite! It's so exquisite!" The three old imperial doctors over there who were testing the medicine suddenly exclaimed, which immediately attracted the attention of others.After they discussed it with each other, they recommended one, and the old imperial doctor said, "My Majesty, this medicine contains fake blood pills. It is the best. There are countless people in the world who can make such pills, as long as we investigate their recent whereabouts, we can find out where the medicine came from."
As he spoke, he paused again, "I just don't know if the emperor's blood has been taken recently..."
Wen Zhen stared coldly, and said coldly, "The last assassination!"
If Lin Xin knew that he could no longer deny it, he immediately put his hands in his sleeves and stretched out his hands, holding three black bullets the size of longan in each hand, and threw the one with his left hand towards Wen Zhen, and the one with his right hand towards the courtiers.
"Escort!"
"There are assassins!"
No one knew what he threw, and the governor's mansion was in chaos, some panicked and hurriedly dodged, and some were ready to risk their lives to escort them.Ning Yunjin was not in a hurry. Although the guards generally would not search these high-ranking officials too carefully, they were not allowed to bring anything larger than a certain size. Even a bomb the size of a longan with the technology of later generations would not be able to kill anyone. , let alone this era, it is estimated that at most it is just some smoke or smoke bombs.
Sure enough, as he expected, when the projectile landed, a thick white smoke quickly filled the air, and there were no casualties.But Ruo Lin took advantage of the panic, rushed to the door, and released a bright flare.
After seeing the signal flare exploded in the air, Ruolin was no longer anxious, and said to the humanity in the lobby with a handsome face showing some sternness, "You are all going to die here today."
"I still want to struggle when I'm about to die!" Ruoqi had already disliked him, and stepped forward to take him down.Suddenly, he found two figures in front of Ruo Lin. He waited to take a closer look, and his heart suddenly turned cold, and he exclaimed in a trembling voice, "Master Bi, Master Wu..."
"Zongzheng Ruolin, you collaborator and traitor, you don't deserve the surname Zongzheng!" Ruoqi was also a clear-headed person, so he immediately guessed that Ruolin saw that the trick was useless, so he directly forced it.Although such conspiracy is the next strategy, but in order to protect the princes in the palace, the guards around the emperor are now worse than ever. Let alone two great masters, I am afraid that only one will come here and all the lives will be filled in. useless.
