Volume II tortoiseshell ring, imperial commissioner(1/2)
It is natural to pay back debts.
After paying the silver money, Su Wanrong gracefully and noblely packed the two silver ingots, and forced Yun Qi to spend two taels of silver to buy a jade ring. So Tuoba Feng's debt was paid off, Zhu Di ran away, and Yun Qi could also go back to the palace.
However, as soon as he returned to the palace, Yun Qi stomped on the trough of anger and was about to use the ultimate skill Huang Zicheng.
Huang Zicheng's forehead burst with blue veins and shouted, "I can't even catch an assassin!? He even let the King of Yan leave?! You must know who the assassin is! Do you want me to name it?!"
Yun Qi asked back: "Who asked the guards of the Wumen to catch people at Jiang Shi Mansion?"
Zhu Yunwen said unhappily: "Mr. Guard?"
Huang Zicheng suddenly became silenced and said after a moment: "The King of Yan falsely passed the imperial edict..."
Zhu Yunwen shouted, "The Grand Tutor first explains the previous incident. Who asked the Wumen Guard to go to the assassin?"
Huang Zicheng swallowed his anger and said, "The Jinyiwei has always been arrogant. He only heard from the emperor to transfer the sect. I was anxious for a moment..."
Yun Qi sneered, "This is the rule set by the previous emperor. The Jinyiwei has always been obeying the emperor's orders. You can't help but want to raise your own soldiers? How about catching the assassin and let the Wumen Guard join in the fun?"
"If the guard of the Wumen Gate does not intervene, I am nine-point sure that I can chase the assassin. The Grand Tutor mobilized hundreds of people to chase outside the Jiang Mansion in the name of capturing the assassin. Then he dispersed inexplicably. Is he guilty? Who was instructed?! He wants to blame Mr. Jiang?!"
Huang Zicheng said angrily: "The hunting dog smells the smell and chases him along the way to Jiang's mansion. What does it have to do with me?"
Yun Qi said lightly: "According to the Taifu, it is the dog raised by the Wumen Guard who is framed? You just bark the dog to confront him."
“…”
Yunqi fluttered a few words and then slammed the black pot on Huang Zicheng's head, and everyone in the hall was silent.
Yun Qi said loudly: "The emperor sent Song Zhong to pass the imperial edict. Why didn't he show the imperial edict? He specially took a fake Shangfang sword?!"
"I don't." Zhu Yunwen said unhappy, thought for a while, and then said, "I didn't send Song Zhong."
Huang Zicheng was so blocked that he couldn't speak, and said, "How did you know that Song Zhong went to issue an order?"
Yun Qi said, "Tao Fu, I have no imperial edict, but I have the intention of saints. I am all a family. Didn't the emperor want King Xuanyan to come to the city at that time?"
Zhu Yunwen was silent for a long time, then nodded, acquiesced to Yunqi's actions of killing him first and then reporting.
Rong Qing took a step forward, knelt down on one knee, and replied: "Song Zhong held a fake Shangfang sword in his hand, claiming that he had the emperor's imperial order, and asked the King of Yan to send his troops back to Peiping. He knelt outside the city on the 19th apologized, and followed the team on the day of the funeral..."
Zhu Yunwen said angrily: "What's going on! Grand Tutor!"
Zhu Yunwen roared, and Huang Zicheng immediately took a moment of shock and took a step back, which was the first time he saw Zhu Yunwen angry.
Yun Qi raised his sleeves, rubbed the jade ring on his right hand with his left hand, and looked at Huang Zicheng provocatively.
Only Zhu Yunwen gasped in anger in the palace. Yunqi's plan succeeded. Only Xu Yunqi knew that Zhu Yunwen would get angry when he felt that he was deceived.
Zhu Yunwen said: "Transfer to Song Zhong."
Zhu Yunwen's face was like cold ice, which was the first time Huang Zicheng saw him.
Huang Zicheng's whole body trembled, his tense nerves finally couldn't bear it anymore. He fell to the ground and cried: "I deserve to die for death! Please punish your majesty!"
Huang Zicheng burst into tears and raised his head and said, "However, the decree of King Yan Le Jing has nothing to do with me! Your Majesty, please be clear! I will never release the vassal king from the capital privately! The person who received the decree was the deputy envoy of the guard of the capital, and the imperial decree ordered him to escort the King Yan Le Jing City..."
Yun Qi said: "Don't wait, 80% have been killed."
Zhu Yunwen suddenly burst into laughter and said, "What are you doing?"
Yun Qi had brought the court stick to him at some point, glanced at Zhu Yunwen and said, "Don't you treat the court stick?"
Zhu Yunwen couldn't help laughing and said, "Forget it, the Grand Tutor gets up."
Huang Zicheng was still lying on the ground, and Rong Qing led Song Zhong in.
Zhu Yunwen held his face and said coldly: "Song Zhong cannot count, forty court sticks! Beat!"
Yun Qi and Rong Qing served on the left and right sides, swinging the court stick. Song Zhong knew that the crime was serious and dared not distinguish. The court stick fell down and shouted in pain. Zhu Yunwen on the dragon throne sighed softly and said, "I am afraid that the scholar-in-law will be really cut off."
Yun Qi raised his head slightly and glanced at Zhu Yunwen.
"I'm talking big brother." Zhu Di said sleepyly in the carriage: "Can you put away your flute?"
Tuoba Feng looked at Zhu Di coldly, refused to answer, and continued to play his shepherd flute.
Zhu Di cried out: "Feng'er, you can change the song at least, it's better not to play it. I've been playing it all the time for three days."
Half of Tuoba Feng's guard uniform was dyed with a faint layer of blood, which seemed to be unwashed. His deep eyes looked at the blue sky outside the carriage and were in a state of excitement. A song of autumn floated out of the carriage and echoed in the wilderness of autumn.
After the song, Tuoba Feng said indifferently: "By the way, you will be cut off from the vassal states, I heard what Huang Zicheng said."
“…”
Zhu Di said: "You should continue playing the flute."
After passing through Xizhimen and entering Beiping, the city became unpredictable and quiet. The army headed to the barracks in the city, and Zhu Di's carriage rushed towards the prince's mansion.
"What's wrong today?" Zhu Di frowned and looked at the scenery beside the road.
The vendors stopped their business early. At the gate of Prince Yan's Mansion, Xu Wen pursed her lips, looked solemn, and waited for a long time.
Xu Wen said unhappily: "Why did you come back at this time?"
Zhu Di smiled and said, "How long have you been waiting? I bought you some small things." He said that, and turned around to sort out the gifts he brought to Nanjing.
Xu Wen glanced at Tuoba Feng and handed Zhu Di a letter.
Zhu Di knew something big, so he hurriedly opened the letter and asked, "Written by Yunqi?"
Xu Wen said: "You two left Beijing for the first time, and the letter followed. I don't know how many horses I ran to death along the way, but it was one day early."
Zhu Di took a breath, pushed Tuoba Feng's head, who was curious to stick his head over to peek, and said in a deep voice: "Go back to the house first, and make a long-term plan."
Xu Wen didn't bother to see the fresh gadgets that Zhu Di bought, so he followed Zhu Di back to his house and began to make plans.
Half an hour later, news came from the palace that King Yan Zhu Di was crazy.
Zhu Yunwen was looking at a book when he saw the clouds rising up, closed the book and said, "Sit down, we are the two of us."
Yun Qi smiled, walked past the empty chair, squatted on the short table in front of the dragon's desk, removed his boots, shook the sand, and said, "What are you looking at, and I'll make up the memorial?"
Zhu Yunwen picked up the book and made a move to Yunqi. Yunqi smiled and said, "After becoming the emperor, I can finally read some miscellaneous books."
Zhu Yunwen smiled in his eyes and joked: "I can finally read it. I have only turned a few pages since I gave me this book."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and Zhu Yunwen suddenly said, "Brother Yun, it's thanks to you that day. It's not hard to catch the assassin."
Yun Qi nodded without answering, and Zhu Yunwen said again: "You have saved me several times. I was once squeezed into the corner by the guards, thanks to you..."
Yun Qi burst into laughter and said, "How can that be counted?"
Zhu Yunwen smiled and said, "I just want to do it."
The sudden change of name made Yunqi a little uncomfortable, but the feeling was fleeting. Zhu Yunwen's next words made him stand up involuntarily.
"You wrote the imperial edict to let my fourth uncle leave the city."
Yun Qi stood up, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Yes, I deserve to die."
Zhu Yunwen smiled and said, "Forget it."
Yunqi sighed, and Zhu Yunwen said again: "You know what I think. You don't want my fourth uncle and I to become enemies, right?"
Yun Qi nodded.
Zhu Yunwen waved to Yunqi again, and Yunqi walked forward and asked him to hold his hand.
Zhu Yunwen's fingers were cold and his skin was delicate. That was the finger of a scholar, Yunqi thought.
Zhu Yunwen looked at Yunqi for a while and said, "Brother Yun, I feel at ease when you are by my side..."
Yun Qi replied in a gentle manner: "The responsibility of the Jinyiwei is to protect you and to rest assured, the emperor."
Zhu Yunwen smiled and said, "You are different. Tomorrow, you have to help me get on the job. The governor of Peking is ready to take office."
Before Yun got up, he had already guessed that Zhu Yunwen had reduced his vassals and Zhu Di was crazy. Someone had to witness it with his own eyes. Only after the court could he make a decision. However, can the censors suppress him by sending himself as an imperial envoy?
Yun Qi felt aroused in his heart and asked, "Who else?"
Zhu Yunwen said, "Zhang Bing, do you know each other?"
Yun Qi nodded and said, "Zhang Qin's old father."
Zhu Yunwen still grabbed Yunqi's palm, thought for a while, opened the drawer, took something, put it into Yunqi's hand, and smiled and said, "This is for you."
It was a tortoiseshell ring, and the dark brown tortoiseshell shone with the ancient color. Yunqi joked, "Where did it come from?"
He took the ring and put it on his ring finger, unable to put it down, and it tightened.
He put it on his little finger and finally barely put it on. The hoop was uncomfortable. Zhu Yunwen's face turned red and he said, "It just happened to me... Brother Yun took a rest early."
Yun Qi didn't kneel down, smiled and bowed, and then left.
Walking outside the imperial study room, Yun Qi's face became solemn. He took off the tortoiseshell ring, rubbed his fingertips, pondered in the darkness, and walked back to the yard.
Zhu Di is pretending to be crazy, and there is no doubt that any discerning person can see it.
Zhu Di wanted to rebel, which was also confirmed by himself. However, trying to murder the emperor's grandson a few years ago does not mean that he also wants to usurp the throne now... What did he bring the army to Nanjing for? Want to test it? Or would he plan to prove it?
Ten thousand soldiers and horses surrounded outside the capital, and Zhu Yunwen had 500,000 soldiers in his hands. Zhu Di's personal soldiers were not enough to put a gap in the court... Yes, Yunqi understood.
Zhu Di wanted to tell Yunwen that although the military strength of Beiping was weak, if the court forced it too hard, tens of thousands of soldiers would fight to the death.
To be continued...
