When Huang Qiong walked to the gate of Dutong Yamen, he did not expect that Fan Jian and his brother and sister-in-law were already waiting for him with a horse each. Seeing Fan Jian and his brother and sister-in-law, they were already ready to set off early. Although he was not late, it still made Huang Qiong a little sweaty. He could only cup his hands and say: "Mo Daojun left early, but he didn't expect that there would be more early travelers."
Brother Fan Jian said nothing about Huang Qiong's words. But Fan Jian's sister-in-law said impolitely: "At present, His Royal Highness is addicted to the gentle country, and it must be normal for him to have difficulty getting up. I only hope that the King of England will not imitate Tang Xuanzong in the future. The spring nights are short and the days are high. From now on, the king If we don't go to court early, the people of this world will have something to look forward to."
Mrs. Fan's sarcastic words made Huang Qiong's old face blush. He could only bite the bullet and waved to the guard behind him who was carrying the tray to come forward. He pointed at the ten ingots of gold and ten ingots of silver in the tray and said to Fan Jian: "Sir, I am returning home this time. I have no words to express. I can only give you some money to show my sincerity."
"My husband has been away for a long time, and I don't know when I will see you again. I hope that my husband will not forget the time that the king and my husband were in the British Palace. I hope that when my husband returns, he can convince the head of the family as soon as possible, so that I and my husband can meet again as soon as possible." Let’s get together. On this journey, I also hope that your husband will take more care of you. I also hope that your husband, brother and sister-in-law will take more care of you.”
Huang Qiong's words were naturally staged to show the possible details around Dutong Yamen. If you don't know the inside story, you might think that Huang Qiong and Fan Jian are really performing a farewell show here. Seeing Huang Qiong acting there, Fan Dao's wife curled her lips with contempt on her face.
Huang Qiong's role here is very good, and Fan Jian's role there is naturally not too bad either. Fan Jian was seen taking the gold and silver from the guard and passing it to his brother behind him. With an expression of excitement and regret on his face, he bowed deeply to Huang Qiong and said, "During this period of time, His Royal Highness King Mengying will treat Jian differently, and Jianhui will always keep it in his heart."
"The King of England does not treat the sword with a worldly view, and the sword should naturally be tied with a grass ring. But the ancestral teaching is really difficult, and the sword cannot always be with the prince at the moment. In the future, I hope the prince will take more care of him. Please rest assured, the King of England will find a way to remove the sword. Convince the ancestors to return to the Royal Palace." After saying that, Fan Jian turned around and mounted his horse as if he couldn't bear to look at Huang Qiong in front of him.
The two people cherished each other and performed so sincerely that not only the guards behind Huang Qiong who didn't know the inside story were also deceived. Even Fan Dao, who was standing behind Fan Jian, was filled with emotion. In this farewell scene, Huang Qiong and Fan Jian did an extraordinary job.
Only Fan Dao's wife rolled her eyes at these two sincere performances. However, when parting, Mrs. Fan said to Huang Qiong: "His Royal Highness, now he has brought home several beauties at the same time. The little woman is here to congratulate His Royal Highness. But the little woman also hopes that His Highness Be able to have a beginning and an end, and don’t do things that end up giving up.”
"In addition, please tell His Majesty the King to tell that Miss He, oh, this is Mrs. He now, please don't worry too much about something. Some things will end with me. But if you want to really keep the beauty's heart, We still need to see how the King himself does it.”
After Mrs. Fan's words, Huang Qiong smiled and said: "Mrs. Fan's words really underestimate me. Since they are my women now, I will naturally give them a stable life." .As for the matter of starting chaos and finally giving up, I naturally cannot do it. My women have always been used to pamper."
Huang Qiong's answer was that Mrs. Fan didn't say anything. Only after getting on his horse, he turned around and said: "I hope the King of England can keep his word and truly provide them with a place to shelter from wind and rain, and can truly become a piece of sky above their heads. Don't let them down. Little Women The couple bid farewell to each other, and hope that His Royal Highness the King will take care of himself so that he can fulfill his promise."
After saying these words, Mrs. Fan glanced at Huang Qiong with another meaningful look, then took the lead and rushed out with her horse's reins. Behind him, the Fan Dao brothers followed closely. Looking at the three people's backs riding away on the deserted streets of Hulao Pass in the early morning, Huang Qiong sighed secretly in his heart. He only hoped that this scene could truly blind those craftsmen.
It wasn't until the three people's backs had disappeared outside the west gate of Hulao Pass that Huang Qiong turned around and returned to Dutong Yamen. After a hasty breakfast, Huang Qiong took a few girls, plus Liu Hu's sister-in-law, and headed straight for Zhengzhou under the escort of a thousand fine cavalry. In order to get to Zhengzhou as soon as possible, Huang Qiong did not make any stops along the way except for feeding him water and restoring his power.
Guancheng, where the Zhengzhou government is located, is less than a hundred miles away from Hulao Pass. It is much closer from Hulao Pass to Zhengzhou than from Beijing to Hulao Pass. The distance was less than a hundred miles, and under the condition of all the cavalry, Huang Qiong, who set out early in the morning, arrived in Zhengzhou before dusk.
After arriving in Zhengzhou, Huang Qiong didn't bother to rest. Under the leadership of the deputy envoy of Xiaoqiying who detoured to Zhengzhou, he rushed to Prince Jing's Mansion in the middle of Zhengzhou City, occupying almost half of Zhengzhou City. Standing outside the resplendent Dahongmen of Prince Jing's Mansion, Huang Qiong hesitated somewhat as he looked at the open door.
Huang Qiong was not afraid of anything, but she just didn't know how to face her second sister-in-law, whom she met for the first time, and she didn't know how to tell the orphans and widows in the house about King Jing's death. After a long silence, Huang Qiong turned her head and said to deputy envoy Guo Chenguo: "Master Guo, have the family members of Prince Jing made arrangements? Has anyone harassed Prince Jing's residence during this time?"
"Returning to the prince, after the general led his troops into Zhengzhou, he did not dare to harass Prince Jing's Mansion in any way. He only disarmed the guards and guards in the mansion and imprisoned them. Except for the people in the inner palace, the outside stewards, men and women of Prince Jing's Mansion were not moved. The servants are just in custody. The general will strictly order the rest of the army not to enter Prince Jing's Mansion."
Speaking of this, Guo Chen looked at Huang Qiong's serious face, hesitated for a moment and then said: "However, these two nights, there were night travelers trying to enter Prince Jing's Mansion. It's just that the soldiers stationed in Prince Jing's Mansion were very vigilant, so nothing happened. Something happened. The night before, more than ten night walkers tried to enter Prince Jing’s Mansion, but half of them were shot dead by the archers deployed by the general in the mansion, while the rest fled in a hurry. "
"Last night, there were a few people who wanted to get into Prince Jing's Mansion, but they were discovered by the guards. Two of them were killed, and the rest saw that the situation was not good and they all fled. However, these people have very high martial arts skills. Although we said last night The people were highly vigilant and foiled their plot, but more than ten of our soldiers from the Xiaoqi Battalion were also killed."
"However, after the news of King Jing's death came today, the entire Zhengzhou was full of public resentment. Almost everyone in the city rushed into Prince Jing's Mansion to seek revenge. The general, together with the soldiers of the Xiaoqi Camp, spent a lot of time and effort We suppressed it with all our strength, and also captured a few people who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to set fire. Those people took advantage of the general's full efforts to suppress the troubled people, lit torches and tried to throw them into Prince Jing's Mansion through the wall."
"If our people hadn't been so vigilant and discovered it early because someone tried to break into the house twice, something big would have happened that time. The place where those guys wanted to throw the torch was exactly where the kitchen of Prince Jing's house was. Then There is a lot of firewood piled up beside it. Now is the autumn when the grass and trees are withering. If this torch is thrown in, the fire will burn and the whole camp will be burned."
After deputy envoy Guo finished speaking, Huang Qiong frowned slightly. He didn't expect that the man would act so quickly. After two failed assassinations, he actually thought of inciting the people to cause trouble and set fire to the chaos. Huang Qiong concluded that the person who set the fire was definitely not an ordinary citizen: "Someone actually wanted to take advantage of the chaos to set a fire? Where are these people being detained now? Have you found out their identities?"
Hearing the urgency in Huang Qiong's tone, Guo Chen hurriedly said: "Back to your lord, the identities of these people have been found out. They are all vegetable farmers outside Zhengzhou City. Because the land was occupied by Prince Jing's Mansion to build a garden, they lost their livelihood. . After hearing that King Jing committed suicide, he rushed into the city to seek revenge. The general sent people to verify that the confessions of these people were indeed true. "
"The last general saw that these people were ignorant and couldn't say anything. I just heard that King Jing was dead and tens of thousands of troops were defeated by the court. Because the life of Prince Jing's Mansion has been difficult these years, I thought of taking the opportunity to come here. Revenge. In accordance with the prince's instructions not to harass the people after he captured Zhengzhou. Seeing that these people were really pitiful in their ragged clothes, the general let them all go."
"Confused, you only see the pity of these people. Have you ever thought that King Jing committed suicide in front of the two armies yesterday? Even if Hulao Pass is only more than a hundred miles away from Zhengzhou, how can the news spread so fast? Even if it really spreads fast, But how do ordinary people know? What's more, several vegetable farmers can't even enter the gate of Prince Jing's Mansion, so how can they choose the location to set the fire so accurately? "
"Send people immediately to arrest those people, no, please come back. The people sent must pay attention to their attitude and don't be too harsh to prevent a civil uprising." Deputy Ambassador Guo dealt with this situation Huang Qiong was very dissatisfied that such a big loophole was so easily let go by him. It's just that the matter has come to this, and all he can do is try to make up for it.
He ordered Deputy Envoy Guo to immediately find those who set the fire. Looking at Prince Jing's Mansion in front of him, he didn't want to go in. But whether as the envoy of Zhengzhou or as the brother of King Jing, Huang Qiong knew that he had to go in. Some things have to be faced sooner or later. Especially the special confession from the emperor.
Just after Huang Qiong stepped into Prince Jing's Mansion, led by the eunuch in charge of Prince Jing's Mansion who had knelt down inside the gate to welcome him early, he arrived at the most magnificent main hall in the palace. Then he saw Princess Jing, Princess Jing, and several concubines and children, who had been invited by the soldiers of the Xiaoqi Battalion, already waiting there.
Although this was the first time they met, Huang Qiong, who was dressed in a scholar's uniform, stood out among the soldiers of the Cavalry Battalion wearing helmets and carrying armor. As soon as Huang Qiong entered the main hall, a woman wearing the attire of a prince and a concubine came forward, saluted slightly and said: "The rebel prince's concubine Lin, along with all the rebel prince's family members, pays homage to His Royal Highness the King of England, the envoy of Zhengzhou's disposal."
Seeing this woman taking the initiative to announce her identity, Huang Qiong hurriedly stepped forward, helped her up and said, "I guess this is the second sister-in-law? Please forgive me. Our family does not talk about two families, and the second brother is the second sister-in-law." Brother, who are you? Don’t mention anything like rebelling against the king in the future. No matter what the second brother does, it is his own business, and his crime is not as bad as that of his wife and children."
Huang Qiong raised her head and looked, hiding behind the concubines of King Jing, looking at her children with frightened eyes, and sighed: "My father has not removed the status of several children as royal grandchildren. No matter what. No matter what, you are the mother of the emperor’s grandson. No one can deny this matter until the emperor father makes it clear.”
"In addition, the second sister-in-law does not need to be called the King of England or the King of England. The youngest brother ranks ninth among our brothers, so the second sister-in-law can call the ninth brother. As for the title of King of England, it is just a passing cloud. It cannot be written in one stroke. Two yellow characters, we are all a family after closing the door, there is no need to be so strange."
