Chapter 97:
Ji Zhao’s attitude towards Ji Zheng’s sudden change was confused, and she was a little frightened by his love. She couldn’t understand how he fell in love with her. For various reasons, after he learned that she was a woman, the two did not see each other much, and their long-term relationship was certainly out of the question.
But anyway, she has expressed her mind clearly. There is no grass at the end of the world. She feels that Ji Zheng will not be determined to hang on her crooked neck tree. At least that’s what she hopes.
As soon as the empress dowager releases Ji Heng, he runs out of the palace to find Ji Zhao. Today, Ji Zhao confessed in public. He was as happy as stepping on the cloud. He came into the shadows. Several guards who were hiding in the crowd to protect him almost didn’t keep up. The emperor’s lightness skill is – excellent.
Ji Resident has been guard by Ji Heng man. He gave an order: no one, especially a man, can easily enter Ji Resident without Ji Zhao’s permission. Some of them are listed on Ji Heng’s “not welcome list of Ji Zhao.” Even with Ji Zhao’s permission, they can’t go in, such as Ning Wang.
Ji Heng enters Ji Resident. He has a lot of sweet words to tell Ji Zhao. But when he sees her standing under the plum blossom tree and smiling at him, he suddenly finds that it doesn’t matter what he says. He and her love each other, heart to heart. Any language is weak at this time. It is better not to say. He went to take her hand, thought about it, and smiled, “I’ll marry you. ”
“OK. ”
* * *
Ji Zhao is embarrassed by Ji Zheng’s love, so she recently deliberately avoided meeting him.
For example, when Ji Zhao held a small reception banquet for Zheng Shaofeng in Bafang restaurant, she did not ask Ji Zheng.
Ordinary soldiers serving at the border cannot leave without orders, let alone return to the capital. But he is Zheng Shaofeng, the second generation of officials. The most important thing is that his mother missed him so much. After taking care of his food several times and going to Xuanfu to visit her son, Zheng Shoufu got a headache. Zheng Shaofeng took advantage of the new year and went back home. Another reason for urging him to go home is the fact that “Tian Qi suddenly became a woman.” It’s scary to think about it. How can a buddy suddenly become a woman! This world is really messy!
On the second day of his return to Capital, Zheng Shaofeng found Tang Tianyuan and listened to him face to face about the story of “Tian Qi changed into a woman.” Zheng Shaofeng found out that he had missed the important link of “Tian Qi becoming a eunuch.” That is to say, the whole process of Tian Qi’s identity transformation is “woman becomes a eunuch.” At least on the surface, it is more like a case of sex-change surgery, which is simply abnormal. Zheng Shaofeng was very cold, while he was glad that Tian Qi was a real woman, not changed after she was cut off. However, that boy, ah no, that girl dare to enter the palace in the disguise of a eunuch to assassinate Chen Wuyong. What a hero!
Tang Tianyuan is calmer than Zheng Shaofeng because his shock has gone. When he first heard about it, he was also surprised. After all, what he knew was much less than Zheng’s, and he knew that it was true. As Tang Tianyuan laments that Ji Zhao’s life is not good, he laments that she is brave and resourceful, and he doesn’t need to mention it.
Now, these two people are sitting in the elegant room of the Bafan diners, staring at Ji Zhao in women’s clothes. The girl is so beautiful. She looks at them with a smile. Tang Tianyuan and Zheng Shaofeng are a little embarrassed. After all, they used to get along with her as a friend, and they did a lot of hooking up. Now it seems that it’s all a “don’t act if you’re not polite,” which is really worth fighting.
Ji Zhao, instead, was generous. She started with a glass of wine and said, “I couldn’t help but hide a lot from you. But, the two of you still forgive me. So, I’ll give myself three glasses of punishment. “she said, sure enough, she drank three glasses of wine in a row.
After that, three of them drinking together.
Zheng Shaofeng is open-minded. His intelligence is not enough to support him. After he had a few drinks, he naturally accepted that “Tian Qi is a girl” and began to talk with them about his life in Xuanfu. Although Xuan fu is not as prosperous as the capital city, it is also a hub connecting the north and the South and the East. There are many merchants here, which means something. Before, there would be bandits running to the market nearby to disturb the people and rob them. Zheng Shaofeng and general Chu especially robbed the bandits and drove the Mongolian bandits near Xuanfu almost to nowhere. Ji Zhao, no matter how much he bragged about this, listened with interest.
Zheng Shaofeng talked about his rival, Ni Shijun. As a rule, he would satirize Ni Shijun in front of his good friends. Ji Zhao was very curious and asked, “who is Ni Shijun’s father? “How could he get the emperor’s attention?
“His father’s name is Ni song. I don’t know. I know He is dead. ”
“When did he die? What is the cause of death? ”
“Let me see. I’ve heard about it. Does it seem October 23 or Chundao October 25? The cause of death was a little funny: Ni Song’s quarreled with his concubine and used weapons. Ni song came forward to persuade her to fight. His wife accidentally hurt him, and then he fainted. When the doctor arrived, he was out of breath. ”
“…”
“…”
‘This way of dying is really… I don’t know what to say. Forget it.’
Zheng Shaofeng sighed, “so don’t put too many women in a man’s house. ”
The two bachelors began to talk about whether they should take a concubine. Ji Zhao thought, your first task is to marry your wife first.
But Ji Zhao holds her forehead and frowns. She always felt that the day of Ni’s song’s death seemed special, especially where? Chundao’s 23rd year was the year of her family’s misfortune, but her father was arrested in November. October 25 happens to be her mother’s birthday. What is she doing on that day?
Ah, yes. Although her father celebrated her mother’s birthday, somehow that day, he always seemed absent-minded. She was very young at that time, but she could feel that her father was thinking about other things. And then? After listening to the play in the daytime, her father didn’t accompany her mother in the evening. She and her brother thought that their parents had quarreled, so one stayed to coax their mother, and the other went to persuade their father. The younger brother went to the study to find his father and was soon driven back. She asked her brother what his father had said, and what was his brother’s answer then?
——”father stood alone in the yard looking at the moon and said to himself,” Success or failure depends on it. He saw me and blew me back before I could speak. ”
Ji Zhao didn’t feel anything that day. She went to bed early. Now, it’s bizarre. What happened that day? Why does the father say, “Success or failure depends on it”? What’s on his mind? Is it success or failure?
At that time, his father was the first person in Zhan Shi’s mansion. He would not be so worried about general affairs. His most concern was the prince’s reserve.
So is it related to the prince? What’s the point?
Is it related to Ni’s song? What’s the point?
Ji Zhao connects several characters with time, and suddenly a bright light comes to her mind.
Although Ni song is only a small military official of the sixth grade, the Department of arms and horses of the Xuanfu is in charge of the capital’s public security, which is a part of the armed forces with great strength. Since the troops stationed in the capital are all stationed outside the city, when the city’s gate is closed at night, the only soldiers outside the imperial city and inside the capital are the Xuanfu Department of arms and horses. Compared with the army outside the city, this part of soldiers is just like ants to elephants. However, if elephants cannot enter the city, ants can move freely in the city.
There are some bodyguards in the Forbidden City. Still, their number is very small compared with the Department of arms and horses in Xuanfu.
What is this concept? If the prince can find a way to open a door in the Forbidden City at night, Ni song may lead the city’s Army division. He is in charge of attacking the Imperial Palace, wipe out Chen Wuyong’s party at one stroke, and force the emperor to abdicate!
It’s a precarious thing, but it turns out to be very tempting. With Ji Zhao’s understanding of Ji Heng, he really dares to do such a thing. That Ni song will be a great hero in time. Once he succeeds, fame and wealth are just like playing.
From the prince’s point of view, he probably had to do the same. In the twenty-three years of chundao, the two years before the death of the former emperor, it was the time when Chen Wuyong was the most rampant. If the prince doesn’t retake the initiative, he’s afraid that the river and mountain will be handed over to others in the future.
It’s unusual, so her father is nervous. He should have been waiting for the prince’s signal that night.
Unfortunately, he didn’t wait for anything.
It’s not as good as heaven. Ni’s song died like that.
A prince is a man who remembers his old love. Ni’s song is his people, and he must be the one who he extremely trusts. Therefore, although Ni’s death canceled this event, the prince will still take care of his descendants after he ascended the throne.
At that time, few people knew about it, which was a blessing in misfortune. Everyone’s mouth is very strict, so although the plan of seizing the palace failed, it didn’t leak the news.
No, it should still be leaking. This is why after her father was sentenced to exile, Chen Wuyong tried his best to catch him back. The prince himself acted carefully, and one of the key figures, Ni song, died. Chen Wuyong doubted that the prince would seize the palace, but he could not find any evidence, so he wanted to catch the people who were most likely to know the truth. He needs her father to testify. So over and over again, he said that Fang Jun that Ji Qingyun should “catch alive.”
So everything makes sense.
But there is still a question: who wan to kill her father?
