Reincarnation of the powerful minister

When Gao Shuo released the carrier pigeon, Chu Yuan was still thinking about the wording of the secret letter, and the weight of the small note was light, which caused the pigeon to fly to Fusi's loft in Beizhen earlier.

In the middle of the night, Shen Qi was awakened by Jin Yiwei who was in charge of the pigeon loft.After he saw the note, he almost recklessly led thousands of Jinyiwei to go to Shaanxi, but before he gave the order, his precarious rationality came to him.

——Jin Yiwei, as the emperor's pro-army, if he left Beijing without the holy order, it would be no different from treason.Not only would he not be able to save Su Yan by doing this, he would also involve himself in it, and he would even be surrounded and suppressed by the imperial army on the way, which was stupid and meaningless.

The only correct and effective way now is to let the emperor decree or instruct him to leave Beijing to find someone.

But Shen Qi suspected that the emperor would not use him if there were other people available for matters involving Su Yan.

Qianhu Shiyan Shuang saw that since Shangguan received the letter from Feige, his expression was abnormal, deep and irritated, like a string of thunderbolts buried in the ground that were about to explode at any time, planning how to kill the unknown enemy. Flesh and blood were blown up.

He hesitated for a moment and asked: "Sir, do you have something on your mind? I am willing to share your worries for you."

Holding the wet note in her palm, Shen Qi tried her best to be calm, and ordered: "Which shift is on duty in the palace these few days, you go and tell a reliable person, and keep an eye on the movement above, as long as it is about the separation of people and horses All those dispatched from Beijing will report to me in time."

Shi Yanshuang was shocked - this was secretly inquiring about the emperor's decree, if found out, the crime could be called serious.

Based on his understanding of Shen Qi, being able to say these words is already a deliberate decision, and it is impossible to persuade him to go back. If he still wants to continue messing around with Shen Qi, he must implement it.

He weighed it in his heart for a few moments, and finally decided to believe in Shen Qi, and at the same time he also believed in his own vision of choosing the master, so he clasped his fists and said, "Let's do it for the humble job."

In the morning of the next day, the scene that stunned all the officials reached Shen Qi's ears immediately.

"...Xin Zhenhai? The emperor said that he would summon him, did you hear me right?"

"It's absolutely true. The news comes from the servant of Fengtian Palace. This person is trustworthy."

Shen Qi had mixed thoughts for a moment, she couldn't tell if it was unwillingness, anger, or disappointment and ridicule.He said silently in his heart: It seems that no matter how hard I try to do things, no matter how much meritorious service I make, I can't match the taboos and precautions in the emperor's heart.Even if I produced hard evidence that he did not cross the boundary with Qinghe because of medicine, he would not trust me, let alone crossed the boundary... What position does the emperor put Qinghe in?Not just trustworthy courtiers.As for his attitude towards me, he seems to be favored and promoted one after another, but in fact he is alienated and guarded, and it is not only because of the emperor's suspicion and trickery...

Thinking of the group of people who haunted Su Yan from time to time and harbored ulterior motives - the crown prince, King Yu, Wu Ming, and now the most powerful and supreme person in the world, Shen Qi was under a lot of pressure, I also felt an indescribable excitement, like a sharp blade thirsting for blood, always looking forward to piercing and tearing apart the opponent.

The stronger the opponent, the sharper the blade will be honed, and the more vicious the attack will be.

Shen Qi took a deep breath, and said to Shi Yanshuang: "There is something, you should do it right away..."

"Injured from falling from a horse, and even broke a leg?" Lan Xi hurriedly put the tea cup on the table as the hot tea almost spilled over the rim, "What's the matter? Didn't you feel well when you left the palace?"

The waiter replied: "Yes! After Mr. Xin received the order, he went back to the house to pack his luggage, and rode a fine horse at home to go to Jinyi's army to command the envoys and prepare to call people and horses to set off. Unexpectedly, he just left the house not long ago. , the horse went berserk, rammed along the street, and finally convulsed and fell dead, Master Xin accidentally fell and injured himself."

Lan Xi frowned, smelling a sinister aura that was not uncommon in the palace and officialdom, and asked: "What's the matter with that horse, have you checked with a veterinarian?"

"I've seen it, and it's said that I ate the yew by mistake. When the horse fell to its death, there were still unchewed leaves in the esophagus."

"The branches, leaves and bark of the yew are highly poisonous to horses. Everyone who raises horses and sells fodder knows it. How did they eat it by mistake? Was it deliberately mixed in the fodder?"

"It's not in the forage. The soldiers and horses investigated the stables in Xin's mansion and found that there were still branches and leaves scattered on the ground. After cross-examination, they learned that Master Xin's three young sons were mischievous. The bunches of red fruits were cute, so they turned them back and used them as whips to fight with each other, and ended up falling in the trough of the stable. The servants heard that Master Xin was furious after the incident and beat the sons well."

"Looking at it this way, it was really an accident." Lan Xi picked up the teacup, took a sip, and sighed, "This Xin Zhenhai is out of luck. It doesn't really matter that this person is almost capable, but If you are unlucky, the fat in your mouth will disappear, so you can only consider yourself unlucky."

It was the same in the case of King Xin back then. Obviously, he could win the holy family by taking down the chief villain, but unexpectedly, he saw the scene of King Xin swearing at Jin Shang with impoliteness, and heard some things he shouldn't have heard.It is already considered lenient for the emperor to keep him alive and give him the vain post of Commander of Jinyiwei.

Now that he was ordered to be in danger and had such an accident, he really couldn't afford it.

Lan Xi put the tea that she had only taken a sip back on the table, shook the whisk, got up and said, "Let's go, serve the imperial court. The emperor will choose another candidate soon, and our family will have to run errands again. "

Beizhen Fusi, Shen Qi sat on the armchair in the back hall, while playing chess with Shi Yanshuang - because of Su Yan's introduction and improvement and the preference of royal family members, this kind of chess is now popular in the capital, while playing in the palm of his hand There are several longan-sized red fruits.

The skin of the red fruit is fresh and moist, and there is a small pit in the navel at the top, and the brown seeds are hidden in it.Shen Qi played chess absent-mindedly in one hand, but played the fruit in the other hand vigorously.

After eating half of Shangguan's power, Shi Yanshuang gave up on the general, shook his head and said: "A grown-up is not thinking on the chessboard, a lowly position can win without martial arts."

At this moment, after waiting anxiously and patiently, Shen Qi finally heard the sound of footsteps from far to near, the voice was in a hurry, it was not any Jin Yiwei under her command.He got up and said, "You won."

As he spoke, he walked to the side cabinet, took out a can of spirits, poured the red fruit in his palm into it, sealed it and handed it to Shi Yanshuang: "Yew fruit wine, steep for a month before drinking, it can invigorate the stomach and detoxify, dispel evil spirits and dissipate stagnation."

Shi Yanshuang hugged the won health wine and said with a smile, "Thank you, my lord."

A servant in the palace appeared outside the hall door and said in a shrill voice, "Shen Tongzhi, Mr. Shen, the emperor has summoned you, hurry up and enter the palace with our family."

"Master, you must not—"

Before Fu Bao could finish his persuasion, the prince glared at him fiercely: "Either shut up and follow closely, or I'll strangle you right now!"

He was in an extremely bad mood, and his words were like gunfire. Fu Bao didn't dare to stroke his beard at this moment, so he had to keep his mouth shut and follow closely.

Zhu Helin was dressed in plain clothes military uniform, and as soon as he left the palace, he rode his horse and galloped towards Xin Zhenhai's mansion.

Fu Bao tried his best to drive his horse to keep up with him, and said in a mouthful, "Master Su is an auspicious man, and he will be fine. Besides, the emperor also ordered to send five thousand royal guards to Shaanxi. If you can find someone, why don’t you feel at ease in the East Palace——Hey, slow down, my master, wait for the servants—”

Regardless of the yelling from the servants behind him, Zhu Helin swung his whip and urged the horse. His figure almost flew like a shooting star.

He galloped to the gate of Xin Mansion, got off his horse, and knocked on the door himself.

After knocking dozens of times, the door did not open. Zhu Helin was anxious and annoyed, pounding on the door.

Fu Bao caught up desperately, and stepped forward panting: "Young master, I dare not be so blatant, in case the emperor finds out—"

Zhu Helin's eyes were red from being too excited, and he gritted his teeth: "If you know it, you know it! I'm not allowed to leave Beijing to find him, and I'm not allowed to speak to the leader? You all only try to persuade me to calm down. You can’t lose the majesty of the prince, but the prince is also a human being! I can panic and be afraid! I can’t do what my father did, when Mount Tai collapsed in front of me without changing my face. I can’t be like him, no matter how anxious my heart is. I can also maintain a posture of keeping the eight winds still. My mind is full now, what should I do if something happens to Qinghe? Fu Bao, what do you think I should do?! I was really going crazy at that time!"

Fu Bao held his fist that smashed the door, his eyes were also red, and he tried hard to persuade: "I know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is feeling uncomfortable, but the matter has come to this point, the more urgent, the more you can't get confused. Up and down, how many pairs Keep your eyes on the East Palace! Wei’s side, wishing to find out the mistakes of the East Palace every day, and instigate a group of officials and civil servants who colluded to impeach. Wei Guifei seems to have restrained a lot, but she is still making small moves behind her back. Eunuch is guarding against the palace people who come in and out every day, for fear that something shady will be stuffed in. Isn't His Highness acting like this now to give someone a handle?"

Zhu Helin calmed down a bit, "Don't worry, I won't mess around, and I don't plan to leave Beijing with the Jinyiwei team."

Amid Fu Bao's trembling when he heard the words, he continued, "I just want to explain to the leader, young master, and tell him to hand over a handwritten letter and a token after he finds Qinghe."

The gate of the Xin Mansion creaked open, and a maid looked at them, her nose was not her nose, her eyes were not her eyes, and she said, "Don't smash it! My master fell from a horse and hurt his leg, and the young masters were beaten. Now the family is in chaos, ghosts and wolves are howling." , no one cares about it. The master said thank you behind closed doors, so you guys go away!"

The door slammed shut.

Fu Bao was surprised: "Commander Xin fell and injured? Then... who is leading the Jin Yiwei out of Beijing this time?"

Zhu Helin pondered and said: "No matter who it is, they must go to the government office to dispatch people. Let's go!"

He got on his horse immediately, turned around and headed towards the official office of Jin Yi's pro-army commander.

Fu Bao had no choice but to follow without stopping.But the prince's horse was one of the best in a hundred. The horse he was riding was weak, and he could barely keep up with it at first, but then he gradually opened up the distance, and watched Zhu Helin's figure disappear around the corner of the street.

To take a shortcut, Zhu Helin turned into an alley.

He often leaves the palace in micro-clothes and wanders around the capital.The emperor knew that he liked to be active and hated being quiet, and that he was an energetic horse that could not be kept in the Forbidden City, so he reprimanded him for this, and did not strictly restrain him, and ordered the Jin Yiwei to take care of him.

There was a commotion in the city right now, the commander of Jin Yiwei lost control of his car on the street, injured many pedestrians, and himself fell off his horse and was injured.The Wucheng soldiers and horses investigated the matter, and their soldiers took control of the entire street and interrogated the witnesses, which made the people in several nearby squares panic.

The emperor didn't even leave Fengtian Hall all day, waiting for the results of the investigation in the front palace, and at the same time choosing another person to lead the team to leave Beijing.

The prince who left the palace was like a fish looking for a chance to slip away, and was not discovered by anyone except the personal servant in a short time.

The alley was deserted and very quiet, but wide enough for a horse to pass through.After Zhu Helin turned into the alley, he was about to urge the whip again, when a black shadow suddenly appeared out of the corner of his eye, and swooped down on him from the roof ridge on the right.

Startled, he reacted quickly, waving the horse whip with his right hand to meet the attack, the whip tip shook in the air with a slight sonic boom, at the same time he jumped forward, put his feet on the saddle, and leaped forward.

The horsewhip hit the black shadow and made a crisp "snap" sound, but the whip was also caught by the opponent, and a cold light swam over the whip like a poisonous snake.

Zhu Helin was in mid-air, hooking the clothes-drying pole erected outside the window sill on the second floor with one hand, twisting his body and kicking the edge of the window, the whole body crashed into it.

When the whip was stretched, he knew something was wrong, and let go in the flash, but the tiger's mouth was still bitten by something, and the pain hit sharply.

He fell heavily on the floor of the bedroom on the second floor of a certain city dweller, rolled a few times, got up amidst the screams of the woman in his boudoir, and pulled out a dagger for self-defense.

The sudden scream pierced the silence, and the neighbors all looked around, and someone shouted: "Is it the little lady of the Xuan family? What happened?"

Zhu Helin had no time to look at him, he just stared out of the window with a big hole, the dark night and the dim light of the distant lights were infinitely magnified in his eyes.The night wind blew past, and the black shadow missed a single blow, as if hiding back in the darkness.

All these actions took only seven or eight seconds. From anticipation, counterattack to escape, Zhu Helin, who had never had actual combat experience, relied entirely on his strong physical fitness, and his instinctive reaction and intuitive response when facing a surprise attack. .If there is a slight mistake, his life will be lost on the spot.

Fortunately, his response was very correct.

Zhu Helin took a breath, looked down at the back of his hand, and saw two small holes in the tiger's mouth, only a few drops of blood, which seemed not serious, the surrounding skin was slightly red and swollen, and there was a slight itching feeling from the numbness.

...Looks like the tooth marks after a snake bite.Zhu Helin's heart beat violently, and he said anxiously to the girl in the room who lost her voice: "Give me a belt, quick!"

The girl was about twelve or thirteen years old, and suddenly she experienced a sudden change. After the first scream, she calmed down a little, and she tore off a decorative sash from the bed curtain, and handed it to him tremblingly.

Zhu Helin took the belt, fastened it tightly on his wrist, then gritted his teeth, cut two crossed wounds on the tooth marks with the blade of his sword, and squeezed hard.

The purple-black poisonous blood dripped down, Zhu Helin's head was covered with cold sweat, he felt dizzy and nauseous, and his eyes began to blur.

He had difficulty breathing, and said with the last of his strength: "I am the prince, the express officer..." Then he collapsed on the ground and lost consciousness.
