Qingchuan History

Chapter 793 The Third Prisoner

In the deep autumn of November, King Ning and Shangguan arrived in Hezhou for a banquet.A few hours ago, Patriarch Xiao in his sixties had just left the city gate.

"Has the prince finished writing the policy of the world's public?"

Both of them love to shake their fans. At the beginning of the journey together, they didn't dare to go to the official banquet due to etiquette.

"Not yet. Your Majesty said, we can wait for a year and a half. You?" King Ning also shook his fan, and the three characters "Chun Yong Zhou" on the snow-white fan were particularly eye-catching.

Shangguanyan saw the words like Mianjun, quite intimidated, and said seriously: "I got an errand in Xiling and was busy preparing to go out, and I haven't been free."

"The same is true for this king." After a short pause, "Did you bring all your things?"

It is physical evidence that Xiao's meddling in the salt administration.

Shangguan Yan nodded. "Is the prince's arrangement all in place?"

It is to ask witnesses and witnesses, and the armed forces in case of ransacking the house.

King Ning also nodded.

The autumn wind was refreshing, and the two shook their fans at the same time.

The accompanying soldier a foot away behind Zhijiao made a sound.

Shangguan Yan turned around: "Didn't you get slapped by the fans of the prince and the envoy?"

In November, Binhai City, the weather is cold and windy, what do you think?The soldier felt bitter in his heart and respectfully denied it.

Shangguan Yan turned back and suppressed his voice: "Improving the salt policy is indeed the king's original intention, and the first step can be carried out first; for the Xiao family, whether to attack or defend, just wait for the king's order. What does the prince think?"

"Your Excellency is the pioneer in this matter, and I will listen to you."

On the day Patriarch Xiao entered Jidu, it was already the beginning of winter, and the cold air fell in the city, but the Qi Palace was still majestic and solemn.

Compared with last summer, the old man has seen his decline again. The palace servants lead the way to Mingluan Hall step by step. Gu Xinglang is still sitting on the first jade steps where he had a question and answer with Xiao Ben a few days ago.

"Grassman, see Your Majesty!"

"Old Xiao, come here."

Patriarch Xiao, with a long beard reaching to his waist, knelt down and dragged his tail to the ground.

"I am ashamed to see the face of the sky, but I want to die!"

Gu Xinglang glanced at Diyan who was waiting nearby.

Di Yan stepped forward to help, and the old man came staggering on his knees. Because of his old age, he looked quite sad, and it seemed that the young Qi Jun who was disrespectful and disrespectful at the moment was very unreasonable.

But what if the fact that this old man harbors a conspiracy of treason is revealed?At this moment, will I appear too lenient again?

Gu Xinglang looked at the long beard dragging on the ground, and the faces of Ji Huan and Wen Fei flashed in his mind, thinking that they were clearly loyal but not traitorous, why did they all want to rebel?
The authenticity of the public world, if it is true, whether it is treason or not, he didn't think about it, he didn't want to think about it, as a descendant of the Gu family, the master of these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, all of these should be sentenced as treason.

The old man approached.

Gu Xinglang focused his thoughts, and sighed first, "I told Xiao Zihuai not to reveal it to Mr. Xiao first. He didn't obey."

"Grassmen will die! Lord Yushicheng is also afraid that Caomin will come and go, and he can't bear to be separated from his family forever, Fang—"

Gu Xinglang squinted his eyes, "So the entire Xiao family in Hezhou now knows that Mr. Xiao Laiji has given away his head, and is waiting for the building to collapse?"

It is clearly close, but the king's voice seems to be at a very high place, hanging down towards the world in a overlooking posture.

"No no! Caomin just left a letter and sealed it with wax paint. If you can't go back, a servant will hand it over to Madam."

"Letter." The emperor paused for a while on the steps, "What is the last word, a lesson for the world?"

"The grassroots don't dare! The grassroots will die!"

Gu Xinglang scoffed. "This question has already been asked by Emperor Wei Ting. No one loses his head. What are you afraid of? Why are you dying? Or, your public world is different from what they say. There is nothing out of date. The time is the time. This dynasty In this generation, is it necessary to abolish the Gu family and abolish the monarchy?"

"Grass people—" Patriarch Xiao took a deep breath, almost losing his breath.

"Say Wan Shi again, I can decree to fulfill you now."

The whimpering under the steps was cut off by a voice as cold as a blade above his head, and he swallowed it back.

"Let's talk about the arrangement, when to do it, mutiny or assassination, which other companies are there?"

"Da Qi's soldiers are all in the hands of your superiors!" Patriarch Xiao whined again, "Sheng Jia is surrounded by masters, Lord Shen Ji broke through the encirclement alone and sent you from Yunshui back to Jidu, why did the lord come here to ask! "

"I'm also surprised."

Gu Xing's voice became lower and lower, Xu Yin's voice became deeper and thicker due to his age, and it always converged like a sharp blade at the end, which was quite different from when he was 20 years old.Diyan is still waiting nearby, with such comprehension, there is no reason to be afraid, not sure whether to continue to stand here and listen.

But your majesty did not back down.

Just listen to him continue:

"Ambitions from the past require extremely strong forces to support them, so that they can be realized. If there were still troops in the country that were separatist before the Summer Festival, then today, each of you has it,"

He tilted his head slightly, propped one arm and leaned on the jade steps behind him, with a playful expression,
"Money to buy soldiers? The loyalty of the local army is worse than that of the forbidden army in the capital. It's easy but they don't dare to mess around. After last year, they don't dare. So it's public opinion."

Those three words lingered in his mind back and forth, and he frowned.

The old man under the steps was suffocated by the splashing questions and the sudden deep silence, and dared not breathe out.

"The gunpowder of Mingluan Hall."

It took a long time to hear the lord speak again, but he came back again:

"Xiao Cai herself is still instigated by others. As you know, it is verbatim. Now, I will spare your life and keep the Xiao family alive."

It must have been rehearsed no less than a hundred times on the way to Jidu. The old man stepped on the end of this question and began to answer, rushing out the words in a hurry:

"Long beard! A long-bearded alchemist, he was either a traveling doctor or a witch. My grandfather couldn't tell. But that man could predict the world and told me three things that would happen to my Xiao family in the future. At that time, my grandfather was still in Qixi. Building a house for a family, listening to the crazy talk of only being a charlatan, but one of them happened quickly, and the second happened, and the second happened next year,"

Either because he spoke too quickly, or because he was too old to bear the toss, or because the prophecy fulfillment itself was absurd, his tongue began to tie up and he was out of breath.

Gu Xinglang signaled Di Yan to pour tea.

The old man didn't dare to pick it up at first, but finally he drank it tremblingly, and continued:
"If it is said that the first one may be artificially created by the Warlock to prove his own prophecy, then the second one is absolutely impossible to do by him!"

There are few sunny days in late autumn this year, and it will be cloudy or overcast throughout the first ten days of November.Today is also the same, Gu Xinglang squinted his eyes, and autumn clouds gathered in his pupils.

"—Da Yan is about to die, and the Gu family will stand up!"

Gu Xinglang has heard similar things.

When Taizu beheaded Yu Wenyan, the other party also said that Ying Kingdom would fall in Qingchuan three hundred and two years. 【1】

It was hit.

He also read Mrs. Ming's childhood notes in the secret passage of the Yunshui Palace, and heard from Wen Qi on Luofu Mountain that the Taizu lit the lamp for Duan Mingcheng's dream.

It's a pity that he didn't hear the family motto that Ji Huan left to Jing Tingge when he was at the border.Otherwise, he would know that the same story happened to the Ji family. A bearded man made three prophecies about a family that was about to flourish, which were fulfilled one by one in the next ten years.

"What about the third one?"

"Grandfather will be ordered by the new king to go to Jidu to rebuild the palace!"

Apparently hit it too.

Gu Xinglang's mind was in chaos, and he lost the patience to continue asking questions. He just stared at the back of the old man's trembling head, waiting for him to finish his sentence.

"The sorcerer said that if these three things are all fulfilled, proving that what he said is true, then grandfather only needs to do one thing to make the Xiao family flourish and become a family within a hundred years!"

"That thing is hiding gunpowder in the Mingluan Palace?"

It's very absurd, but because the whole thing is so absurd that the words come to this point, it makes sense.

"Yes! Yes! Don't dare to lie to Your Majesty!" The old man fell even deeper, almost lying on the ground.

"Just now I asked you about the training of the world,"

Xiao Zihuai's reaction that day seemed to be unknown; but when the old man heard these three words earlier, he shouted "dare not".

The old man shook his head desperately, shaking his whole body like chaff.Gu Xinglang signaled, and Di Yan went over to hold him down.

As a result, the people on the ground became more awake, took a few deep breaths following the guidance of the inkstone, and then said dejectedly: "Caomin dare not say, Caomin—"

"The truth is a felony. Don't test my patience."

The king's voice seemed to completely fix the old man's spirit. "The man said that when this day comes, the power of the monarch will disappear, and all people will live in peace, and the world will be fair. Whichever dynasty the gunpowder blasted in the Mingluan Palace will be, that will be it."

Gu Xinglang already knew the following.

I want to listen to what he said, and get the most truth out of the other person's words.

"When the dynasty collapses, the world begins as a government."
