That's right, I'm the girl who hides in the golden house

=========================

Day two.

His Majesty made an imperial decree to announce to the world that the prime minister was posthumously named Duke Protector for his meritorious service in rescuing him, and was buried with state ceremonies. The sword punishes these thieves with evil intentions, and the thieves of the Shang Dynasty who stayed in Beijing will be executed on the day of the prime minister's burial, so as to comfort the prime minister's spirit in heaven.

At the same time, the evidence of Shang Guo secretly colluding with Guijue was revealed.

As soon as the notice came out, the common people were united in hatred and the voice of avenging the prime minister was very popular. His Majesty seized this opportunity and immediately justified Ruan Peixu's attack on the Shang Kingdom.

When the refugees far away in the frontier hated the court for fighting and oppressing the people, and were about to rise up to resist, an imperial decree was issued, and someone showed the notice to the leading refugees. Unfortunately, the refugee had suffered a disaster in his hometown, and it was the prime minister who gave him a meal. , So the spearhead turned around, and the border refugee team went directly to the battlefield to meet Ruan Peixu. Of course, this is all a later story.

Right now, as soon as this happened, the marriage of the third prince fell through, and he was so angry that he ran to Xiao Wang's mansion overnight to complain to Xiao Wang: "Uncle, do you know what people say about me now? They say that if Huo Yunchao is married, they won't marry him at all." When this happened, they blamed me for violating the fate of the country, and those people in the palace even asked Si Tianjian to calculate my birth date. They deliberately prevented me from being the crown prince! Why do you think I am so unlucky?"

Holding the chess piece in his hand, Huo Yuheng said indifferently: "I never believe in the so-called luck and fate. Many things that seem to be made by nature are mostly caused by man. You may not be unlucky, but someone I just don't want you to be lucky."

"Who? Huo Yunchao?" The third prince was full of anger, wishing he could grab Huo Yunchao immediately and eat his flesh raw.

Huo Yuheng sighed and looked up at him: "Don't always target him, he can't win the throne, you don't know your father too well, your father values ​​himself more than any of you can imagine Huo Yunchao is only the son of the elder brother, no matter how much your father likes him, he will not pass on the throne to him."

After hearing this, the third prince frowned slightly. In that case, who is going to kill him?The sixth and the seventh?But I haven't seen them doing anything recently.

"Maybe it's not someone trying to harm you." Huo Yuheng played chess with himself, just after playing black pieces, he picked up white pieces, "Maybe some people made a game, and you accidentally entered the game and became a pawn. After all, I also I don't understand. With your bloodline and identity, your father should not put you in such an embarrassing situation, unless there is some special reason, so what is this "special reason"? It seems that you still have to It's better to arrest someone to ask, Ah Chao is the kid from Zhenhuqing's family, that's all, I don't want to touch him, and it's the same when I find you."

Seeing that Huo Yuheng was alone and starting to chatter again, the third prince said goodbye, came and left full of thoughts.

Huo Bing summoned Huo Yunchao in the imperial study, and lit ambergris on the desk, which made people dizzy.

Huo Yunchao knelt under the table, he hadn't closed his eyes all day and night, the bloodshot eyes were visible to the naked eye, and a lot of beard stubble had grown out.He didn't wear court clothes today, and he was not talking about business with Huo Bing.

"Go back, the prime minister's mansion is holding a funeral today, I can't go to see it, you go and accompany the prime minister for the last time." Huo Bing persuaded, Huo Yunchao clamored for the truth, and knelt here for most of the day.

What is the truth?Huo Bing felt that no one could come to question him about the truth, and he was already very displeased. He really hoped that Huo Yunchao could have some insight and stop embarrassing him.

But Huo Yunchao was unwilling to compromise, so he kowtowed again, and said: "Okay, I don't ask why the law and order that you personally supervised went wrong. I just want to ask your majesty to tell me why I suddenly felt cold two days ago. Don't you dare to admit it?"

Huo Bing suddenly turned his head to look at him, his face became very gloomy.

"I warn you not to challenge my endurance, believe it or not, I will send you to jail right away?"

"It doesn't matter if you go to jail. You can take this life of yours if you want. I just want to know the truth. I don't believe that the prime minister's death is a coincidence!"

Huo Yunchao raised his head and looked directly at Huo Bing, his eyes were full of reconciliation, he did not see the slightest fear of angering the monarch, even if Huo Bing had already raised his hand and smashed a cup, there was only stubbornness in his eyes that was not afraid of death.

Huo Bing wanted to hit him again, but he couldn't do it anyway. He could only sit down with a sigh, and instantly aged several years.

Huo Bing knew what the answer Huo Yunchao wanted was. He had planned this scene with the prime minister for a long time, and had discussed it many times. He arranged the assassin, and the prime minister's death was also arranged by him, because he knew that Huo Yunchao would definitely oppose it for a long time. Failed to implement it, seeing that the day to negotiate peace between Shang and the country is getting closer, if you don't act, it will be too late.

In order to smoothly arrange the assassin, first of all, Huo Yunchao had to be unable to intervene.

Huo Bing remembered that he wanted to go back to Huo Yunchao. As a monarch, he had never been so wronged.

"That's right, I sent someone to deliver the medicine. In order for this plan to be implemented smoothly, this is an excellent opportunity. I don't want to miss it, but I hope you don't hate me. Everything is for the eternal peace of the Great Jia Kingdom. Besides, The prime minister has already agreed, he is..." Huo Bing knew that it was a bit brazen to say this, but as a king, there are times when he values ​​face very seriously, and there are times when he is shameless, so he can only say this at this time. Such words came to persuade Huo Yunchao, "Voluntary.

"You have to know that only in this way can we have a reason to send troops, and only in this way can we catch the opponent by surprise. It is always a disaster to keep the Shang country, and I will always eradicate them."

"Then the marriage and the search for clues that were discussed before were all deliberately done for me to deceive me?" Huo Yunchao asked.

Huo Bing replied to him: "No, these things are an integral part of this link."

"Then we have already agreed to a marriage, and we have obtained enough evidence. Even the gunpowder issue has been settled, so why sacrifice the prime minister?" Huo Yunchao argued, their plan made him feel like a complete fool, being tricked He was extremely unwilling to have to go around in circles.

Huo Bing looked at Huo Yunchao, stood up and walked to the bookshelf, and sighed: "Although you have a little success in political science, you are still too young. A reason of "bad intentions" will not be of much use, even if Du Ju said it himself. Admitting that there was fraud in the peace negotiation, the Shang Kingdom will also prevaricate it without changing its face, saying that it is just a personal grievance of the envoys. At that time, they will push Dugu and even the princess of the Shang Kingdom to block the gun, and everything we do will be in vain .

"Do you know how much the people long for peace? Even if they are aware of Shang's schemes, as long as no actual harm is caused, everyone would rather suffer than fight again. It's okay if the explosives blow up, but I don't want to be honest. The prime minister is not willing to suffer the people of Yangyang, and I think you should be unwilling too.

Only by letting an important figure die in my Dajia country, can the civil servants and generals of the whole court be united in hatred, and the people of the world can be united in hatred. It is the common people who suffer every year in the battle. Definitely can't fight.

"The prime minister is loyal and courageous, serving the country and the people, and has a very good reputation among the people in the world. I am also very sad to lose this general. I have few confidantes except the prime minister. I have given up a lot in this move, but If we can take advantage of this opportunity to conquer the Shang Kingdom in one fell swoop, then our enemies in the future will only be Guijue, you and...you will be able to unify the world by then, and there will be fewer obstacles. Taking a step back, the emperor will only sit on the throne in the future be more secure.

"Ah Chao, do you understand my intentions?"

Huo Bing said so much in one breath, he didn't have to explain anything to others, but when facing Huo Yunchao, he still hoped that the child would understand that walking this road is doomed to sacrifice, and "everyone is good" has always been It is vain, if necessary, he can sacrifice anyone, including himself.

Huo Yunchao understood, but he was full of anger and sadness and had nowhere to vent. Ever since he chose this path, he had already been prepared to give up everything, but there was no reason for the prime minister to take over, let alone he promised Qing Tianliang to protect the prime minister. Enjoy your old age...

"Even so, this minister is also a suitable candidate. The minister's reputation in the Dajia Kingdom is no worse than the prime minister, and his status is no worse than the prime minister..."

"Silly boy," Huo Bing walked in front of him and helped him up, "You are the future of Dajia Kingdom, even if I die, you can't die!"

Huo Yunchao was shocked, and raised his head to look at Huo Bing. The emperor's expression was serious and serious, his eyes were burning with fire, as if he saw a prosperous age, and he threw his head and blood for the arrival of this prosperous age, and achieved his greatest achievement .

Huo Yun broke free from his hand as if discouraged, and kowtowed steadily, his forehead resting on the ground, his eyes were red.

……

His Majesty was ill and did not go to court for several days. Huo Yunchao received the imperial decree at the palace and went to the Prime Minister's Palace to guard the coffin.

It was already late when Huo Yunchao came out of the palace. The streets that were bustling with activity two days ago were deserted and deserted. White lanterns had already been hung in front of many houses.

The prime minister is really loved by all people.

Zuo Ye was waiting on the street leading the horse, and when Huo Yunchao approached, he clasped his fists and said with a serious face: "My lord, Gao Luohong disappeared last night."

Huo Yunchao was taken aback, and frowned: "Where's Kuang Rong?"

"Kuang Rong encountered an ambush on the way to hunt Gao Luohong, and he was seriously injured and unconscious. The opponent's skills were weird, and his sword skills were even more rough, very similar to the style of Guijue in the north." Cold sweat oozes from Zuoye's forehead, this time They are a big failure.

The corners of Huo Yunchao's mouth were tense, and his face was gloomy and terrifying, but he had other important matters to attend to at the moment, so he had to order: "Take care of Kuang Rong, and talk about this matter after he wakes up. Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion first."

After finishing speaking, Huo Yun walked forward.

In the prime minister's mansion, there was a sound of mourning and mourning. There were many pots of charcoal fires in the yard, and groups of people sat and talked around, and the servants and maids who served them shuttled among them.

Seeing Huo Yunchao coming, the officials stood up and saluted one after another. Huo Yunchao returned the salute one by one and went straight to the lobby.

Qing Tianliang knelt on the side of the mourning hall, stood up and handed him three sticks of incense when he saw him coming, as an apology for his unreasonable actions that day, Huo Yunchao didn't say anything, took the incense and worshiped, and said to Mrs. Wake.

Qing Tianliang was startled, and stopped him: "It's not proper, I'm afraid you're going to ruin my father's virtue by doing this with your status."

Huo Yunchao turned his head to look at him, and said: "The prime minister treats me like a son, and I treat him like an elder, not to mention that the prime minister sacrificed his life for the country, your majesty is very grateful for that, your majesty has a special status and is ill, so you can't come here in person Look at the prime minister, we are the latter for this kind of minister, and it is only natural to guard the spirit."

Mrs. Qin nodded in agreement, and asked someone to prepare a cushion.

Qing Tianliang pursed his lips, and couldn't find anything to say, so he calmed down and knelt aside.

Huo Yunchao knelt beside him, with his back straight, staring at the coffin with a hard face, his brows were tightly furrowed.

Qing Tianliang watched him for a long time, and after realizing that he didn't intend to talk to him, he silently looked away.

Many guests came again, Qing Tianliang was about to get up, but saw Huo Yunchao had already stood up and offered incense to others.

When Qing Tianliang saw other people's teeth dropped out of shock, and took the incense paper from the cold-faced Huo Yunchao with sincerity and trepidation, his gloomy mood finally improved a little bit.

It was the second time Wang Baoxiang rushed in crying. He cried once yesterday and said he would stay here to guard the spirit. His grandfather, Master Shangshu, grabbed his ears and carried him home, telling him not to make trouble.

When he came today, seeing Huo Yunchao suddenly stopped crying, took the incense and bowed, and retreated obediently, only winking at Qing Tianliang.

What does this mean?

Pi Shaoxian followed closely behind, glanced back and forth between Huo Yunchao and Qing Tianliang, and then retreated silently.

Qing Tianliang was even more confused.

He suddenly had a flash of inspiration, remembering what happened to his "friends" in the past, and suddenly had a bad feeling, his face fell down, and he said to Huo Yunchao, who had just returned from receiving guests and knelt down: "Are you treating Baozhu and Young Master?" What did they say?"

Huo Yunchao straightened his clothes, knelt down, and then answered him: "What do you mean?"

Qing Tianliang said: "For example, coercing and luring them to buy them, not allowing them to hang out with me?"

Huo Yun turned his head to look at him, twitched the corners of his mouth without warmth, and snorted coldly: "Ignorant, idiot."
