Da Suining

Chapter 296 Closed Mausoleum
"It seems that Xiang's family is really loyal to Emperor Chengzhao. As soon as the tablet was lost, they replaced it." Tang Xiaoniang, as if asking for credit, moved the tablet out of the dark grid and moved it to the sun so that the emperor could see it more carefully.

Two tablets.

One is engraved with "Xuanguo, Guotai, Minan, and eternal generations", and the other is engraved with "Pray for the Bodhisattva to bless you with no disease and disaster"

Tang Xiaoniang didn't know a few words, so she just held the memorial tablet to ask for credit.

The emperor stared at the two tablets and did not speak for a long time.

Xiang Suining hugged Lan Ning and knelt down among the white chrysanthemums.

so easy.

A few birds landed on the white chrysanthemum.

"Returning to the emperor, these two tablets were originally enshrined by our Xiang family. One of them is to pray for the declaration of the country, and the other is to hope that Guoxin will be safe and healthy. Now that he is a general, he will inevitably be killed. Don't worry, I set up a life card for him, I just hope that he will be safe, and can serve the country and the emperor a lot. I enshrine these two tablets outside for fear of causing misunderstanding, so I enshrine them in the dark cell, but unexpectedly they still provoke Please criticize. Please also ask the emperor to observe clearly."

The tablet in the dark grid is completely different from the two engraved tablets that Tang Xiaoniang presented when she reported.

"The Xiang Suixin on this tablet, according to the name, is from the same line as your Xiang Suining." The emperor was still puzzled.

"Xiang Guoxin was called Xiang Suixin at the beginning, but later the mother couldn't take care of the child, so she took him to Xiaoniang Tang to raise him. She didn't want people to know that Guoxin was born by the eldest lady and that I was born with the same mother. So my father simply changed his name to Xiang Guoxin."

"Is that so?" The emperor looked at Xiang Daying.

Xiang Daying quickly knelt down: "Everything I said is true."

Xiang Suining hugged Lan Ning and knelt among the white chrysanthemums. The white chrysanthemums were curved one by one.

Lan Ning hugged the chrysanthemum in her arms and rubbed against Xiang Suining's neck.

The sandalwood in the small Buddhist hall slowly drifted out.

The search was fruitless.

The emperor had to wait for news from the tomb.

When Lu Yu and others arrived at the mausoleum, Guo Cong was lying on a stone bed and taking a nap. In the spacious mausoleum, there were many people in gray shirts, and there were also some coarse cloth peasant women from the nearby Zhuangzi.

These people directly set up a long dragon in the mausoleum.

Some are selling pears, some are selling sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, some are selling candied haws on carts, and some are selling fried jelly noodles.

Some wandered by leading sheep, and some led cattle to see a doctor.

Wisps of white smoke came out of the mausoleum, it was someone steaming steamed buns.

It's literally a bazaar.

Lively.

I don't know how pleasant it is to pass by pedestrians to buy or sell.

Guo Cong ate a full belly, and when the officers and soldiers shouted, he was still confused: "Hey, isn't this the imperial doctor Lu? I heard that they are all princes now. Why is the prince coming to the market?"

The mausoleum was bustling with many people.

"What are they doing in the mausoleum?" Lu Yu was puzzled.

A few officers and soldiers and peasant women in coarse clothes knelt down, frightening those people to kowtow.

"We are from a peasant household twenty or thirty miles away. Our side is poor and there are many mountains. There is no spacious place to go to the market to sell goods. The eldest prince kindly said that the tomb is not for nothing, so let us sell it inside for some silver taels. "

"The people who come here to buy and sell things are all from nearby people, they all know the basics, and they are all farmers."

These people don't seem to be lying.

Guo Cong was drunk and picked up the officer's knife. The knife was so heavy that he couldn't lift it, so the knife fell to the ground.

Back then, he also had martial arts.

Holding a knife is hard now.

When this matter was brought up to the emperor, the emperor just sent someone to reprimand Guo Cong, saying that he didn't know good and bad, and didn't know the rules, so he let people set up a stall in the mausoleum. Isn't it ridiculous? I heard people say that Guo Cong can't even hold a knife now, and he is very decadent. The emperor just said lightly: "If you can't hold it, you can't hold it. Sometimes it's not a good thing to hold too much."

Tang Xiaoniang failed to inform and was locked in a small Buddhist hall.

According to the emperor's will, Tang Xiaoniang is a member of Xiang's family, and should be handled by Xiang Daying.

After all, with Xiang Yan as a child, Xiang Daying didn't do anything wrong.

Shut Tang Xiaoniang into the small Buddhist hall, locked the door, and had three meals a day, and a woman handed her in through the window.

Tang Xiaoniang fell to the ground, hugged Xiang Daying's leg and cried: "Master, please let me out, I am Yan'er's mother, you can't keep me here forever."

Xiang Daying lowered his body and gently stroked Tang Xiaoniang's face.

After being pampered and pampered all these years, her complexion is fair and even a little rosy.I want to live a smooth life.

"You shouldn't be so cruel, go to the emperor and tell Xiang's family. If you go and tell Xiang's family, you will force Xiang's family to die." Xiang Daying sighed: "The relationship between husband and wife has been lost for many years."

When she married Tang Xiaoniang back then, in the eyes of outsiders, Xiang Daying fell in love with Tang Xiaoniang's beauty.

Xiang Daying is an old critic.

When you meet by chance in the palace, love bubbles can also pop out.

You must know that Xiang Daying was married to the Tang family at that time and had a son and a daughter.

Being so obsessed with a court lady is not what an old pervert is.

Xiang Daying insisted on marrying Tang Xiaoniang, and even raised that Uncle Tang together.

Not for anything else, just because of the great changes in the palace on the night of Emperor Chengzhao's death, Xiang's family replaced Emperor Chengzhao's child in desperation, causing his own son Xiang Suixin to be killed while he was still in his arms. The matter was carried out in the dark, but Tang Xiaoniang, who delivered the laundry to the old lady's harem at night, overheard it.

If she goes to report, then Emperor Chengzhao's son will be lost, and Emperor Chengzhao will cut off his heir immediately.

Tang Xiaoniang had a hard time in the palace, so of course she didn't want to miss this golden opportunity.

She negotiated terms with Xiang Daying.

Xiang Daying promised to seal the money.

Tang Xiaoniang half pushed and half agreed.

But Xiang Daying is not at ease, and he will not be at ease in the end if he seals the money.

If one day she runs out of money and threatens again, it will be a bottomless pit, and if she is out of control, no one knows what Tang Xiaoniang will do.

Tang Xiaoniang also took a fancy to Prime Minister Da Ying, who is young and prosperous, and has some qualifications. Taking his money is not as good as she wants both money and people. Anyway, if you want to marry in the future, you can also find a good future for your children. Otherwise, with her status, what kind of good family can she marry?

It hits it off.

Xiang Daying married Tang Xiaoniang and gave her the right to be a housekeeper.

These years, I thought that coaxing Tang Xiaoniang, although they were not of the same mind, they would not be eccentric. Who would have thought that not only eccentricity, but also a very large deviation.

Tang Xiaoniang even reported it.

In the past, all kinds of things were fed to dogs. Tang Xiaoniang wanted to overthrow Xiangjia with a little effort.

"From now on, you can eat and chant Buddha in the small Buddhist hall. The Xiang family will not shorten your food and clothing, but our relationship ends here." Xiang Daying broke free from Tang Xiaoniang's pull, and stepped on the white chrysanthemum. and go.

Fortunately, Xiang Suining had some foresight.

After losing the tablet in the hidden compartment of the Small Buddha Hall, she asked Xiang Guoxin to quickly make two new tablets to make up for it.

And the crowded downtown in the mausoleum was also the one she asked Xiang Guo to find someone to pretend to be.

The purpose is to let the emperor relax his vigilance.

Sure enough, when the emperor was chatting with Lu Yu, he held his forehead and said, "Maybe I misunderstood Xiangjia. Maybe it was a misunderstanding."

He was worried again, and told Lu Yu: "It may be their blindfold, recently you have to send spies to check it out, or you have to check it out yourself, our country is hard-won, so we can't ruin it in our hands. "

Xiang Suining confessed to Xiang Guo that he must be cautious when training soldiers in the mausoleum.

Those who look out for the wind must be smart.

This day, Xiang Guo came back to the court with a heart, leaving Guo Cong in the mausoleum.

It is agreed that it will rain on this day, so it will be inconvenient to train soldiers, so we will take a day off.

Guo Cong was itchy and had nothing else to do, so he called soldiers to practice, so that he could enjoy himself.

Thinking about the rainy day, and no one came, the soldiers outside who were windy huddled in the pit and fell asleep. The rain was so loud that even the sound of riding a horse was suppressed.

Lu Yu got off his horse in front of the mausoleum, quietly watching Guo Cong's movements.

"All of you practice hard for me. When I become emperor, I will make you great generals." Guo Cong held the map of the Qingcheng Palace in his hand, and said with style: "I am very familiar with the terrain here. Wait for you After training, I will take you all to kill and avenge my mother and concubine."

Guo Cong didn't notice Lu Yu's arrival at all.

Lu Yu didn't go in either.Just stood at the entrance of the mausoleum.

The downpour quickly drenched Lu Yu's robe, and the jet-black horse hair was particularly shiny from the rain.

Guo Cong took the map to the door to breathe, and bumped into Lu Yu in the rain.

Guo Cong was obviously very flustered.

Lu Yu looked very calm: "These mobs want to force the palace?"

"I, I." The map Guo Cong was holding almost fell to the ground, and his voice was a little lower: "Who said I was going to force the palace? I can't stop it either."

What Lu Yu despises most is a man who dares to act or not to be.

Especially the eldest prince Guo Cong, as a prince, put all the responsibility on Xiang Guoxin.

"Let's all disband, if you are spotted, you will all die." Lu Yu got on his horse, flicked his whip, and returned to the palace to return to his life.

The boundless rain wrapped Lu Yu in.

Guo Cong broke out in a cold sweat, he no longer had the intention to train soldiers, let everyone disperse, and lay on the stone bed, breathing heavily: "It can't be done, the old guy still knows, this Lu Yu finally sat on the crown prince , he grabbed my pigtail, he will definitely not let me go, he will definitely let my father cut off my head. I can no longer hesitate."

That night.

Lu Yu played chess with the emperor.

Speaking of going out to inspect the palace, the emperor was quite worried.

However, Lu Yu slowly dropped the chess pieces, and said calmly: "I inspected it once, and all the soldiers and horses are safe, and there is no private training. The emperor should not think too much, it is important to take care of the body."

The smell of medicine in Cheng Huan Hall rose again.

There was a bloody smell in the smoke.

"Your Majesty, drink my fresh blood." Lu Yu said, ignoring the scar on his arm.

"You still refuse to call me Emperor Father." The emperor was a little disappointed, but he still picked up the medicine bowl, and poured the medicine soup mixed with donated blood into his mouth, and he swallowed it again with a gurgling sound.

rainy night.

Waterlogged Long Street.

The sound of running water is everywhere.

So is the palace.

The palace walls are damp.

A few black shadows rushed to the tower of Yingtianmen, and when the people in charge were not paying attention, they directly wiped their necks.

The man in black opened the Yingtian Gate, and soon a group of soldiers and horses, about several hundred people, entered the palace one after another.

It was Guo Cong who led the way.

Guo Cong's goal was very clear, and he led his soldiers to directly surround Zhengen Hall.

The Hall of Zhengen was completely besieged, and Guo Cong was the first to rush in with his troops.

You can't bring weapons into Zhengen Hall, but Guo Cong drew out his dagger first, fearing that it would not be sharp enough, he sharpened it twice on the stone railing in front of the door.

The lights in Zheng'en Hall were turned off, but Guo Cong couldn't be more familiar with where the bed was.

He stabbed the brocade quilt with a dagger, but it was in vain.

While he was wondering, the lights of Zhengen Hall suddenly lit up, as bright as day.

The candles in the hall were so bright that Guo Cong couldn't open his eyes.

"You really turned against each other." The emperor stood behind Lu Yu: "You actually went to assassinate my Zhengenzhen."

"Kill the emperor, I promise you glory and wealth." Guo Cong reacted and shouted with arms raised.

Killing the emperor is not a justifiable thing, let alone being blocked in the Hall of Zhengen now.

There was already the clattering sound of the imperial army's armor outside. Even though it was a rainy night, the sound of the clattering iron plates was still very ear-piercing.

The Imperial Army has already surrounded, not to mention Zheng'en Hall, even the Imperial Palace, which is now also an iron barrel.

Lan Tui had already drawn his knife to protect him.

The people Guo Cong brought were few.

"Come on, let me go." Guo Cong rushed forward with a short knife in his hand, jumping happily, but Lan Tuo pulled out the knife and put it on his neck.

He dared to move, and his head fell to the ground.

The Forbidden Army is not a master of pity and sympathy.

"It's not me, it's not me." Seeing that the assassination was hopeless, Guo Cong knelt down and begged for mercy: "Father, it's not that I want to enter the palace to assassinate, it's Xiang Guoxin who lied to me and said that if he assassinated the emperor, he would help me to be the emperor. That's why my son listened to his nonsense and entered the palace, but...he didn't agree with me, he betrayed me. The one who really wanted to plot rebellion was him, it was him. Father, please forgive me."

The emperor looked at Guo Cong with disgust.

There are heartless things.

This is not the first time such a rebellious act has been committed.

"How do you deal with him?" The emperor asked Lu Yu.

That night he played chess with Lu Yu at Cheng Huan Hall, because the medicine was boiling on the stove, so the game took a little longer.

Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, there was movement from Yingtianmen.

The emperor asked Lu Yu to act according to the previous preparations.

Yingtianmen's imperial guards deliberately let them go, but they want to see what these people are going to do.

Sure enough, Guo Cong was fooled and went straight to Zhengen Hall.

Seeing that the emperor was really angry, Guo Congzhen kowtowed: "Royal father, I don't dare anymore, I will go back to the mausoleum now, and I will never come out again, and I won't annoy you anymore, my lord."

The emperor snorted coldly and said nothing.

"Go back and guard the mausoleum." Lu Yu stared into Guo Cong's eyes: "From today onwards, Concubine Mei's tomb is closed, you go to Concubine Mei's coffin to repent, and you can live for a few days."

Close the mausoleum, without food or drink, how many days can you live?

Not a few days.

Guo Cong naturally refused and wanted to struggle again, but Lan Tui directly asked the imperial army to tie him up.

Guo Cong cried and howled, and was taken off the tomb by the forbidden army. It was the tomb of Concubine Mei Gui, and since that night, it was also Guo Cong's tomb.
