The Path Toward Heaven Chapter 118: Imperial robe plus body
(A dark light in the room does not shine through me. I really like that name, but this chapter is not suitable for today. I will find another one with the same taste tomorrow.)
……
……
How to bring down a big man who is qualified to represent history like Mr. Zhang? History itself has given a clear answer many times, and that is, after his death, the emperor who has been dissatisfied for many years will liquidate him, and even use the name of the emperor if it is not helpful.
So the accusations prepared by Chen Daxue, Jin Chengshang and others for Zhang Daxue are basically related to disrespect. But this kind of operation requires the emperor's approval, so they naturally have to show sufficient respect to the emperor's list and give up enough benefits, unless they want to rebel.
It's a pity that they don't have this kind of power, let alone this kind of ambition. So when Jing Jiu didn't see them, they had nothing to do, and they couldn't forcefully break into the hall to find the imperial seal--what is the difference between the charges they arranged for the scholar Zhang?
Fortunately, the imperial palace is now extremely tightly controlled by the imperial court. There is no such thing as an inner court. Those **** ladies have not even seen the emperor several times, so it is very easy to arrange for some accidents to happen.
Tonight, autumn is high and dry, it is a good time to set fire.
Jin Shangshu did not leave the cabinet, staring at the direction of the imperial palace across the wide square, waiting for the fire to appear.
But waiting until the morning light came, his eyes were a bit aching, and the palace was still quiet, nothing happened.
Until the evening, there was still no news, not even the failure.
The eunuchs who set fire did not know where they had gone. The city gate division did not find out, nor did the guards and the imprisoned soldiers find out, as if they had disappeared in the air.
Jin Shangshu felt that things were a little weird, and his heart was a little bit cold.
He used several hot and humid towels to scald his face in succession to dispel sleepiness and chill, and then went to the mansion of Chen Daxue.
I don’t know what the Academician Chen said to him. Judging from the movement in the palace, they probably did not give up the idea of setting fire to the palace...
But from that night, the autumn rain in the capital became endless, and it never stopped for a moment.
Maybe because of the autumn rain, the palace never caught fire.
The raindrops falling from the gloomy clouds pattered into the clothes and quilt with chill, which was annoying.
Of course, the mood of the court officials is the most annoying.
One day, the academician Chen called to Jin Shangshu in private and said: "The time is now, not to be missed."
Jin Cheng understands what he means.
Everything in the world, including fame, status, power, wealth, and even spiritual practice, will fall back at its peak, and so does public opinion.
Now is the most grieving moment among the Chu people against Zhang University scholars. If the court does not seize the opportunity, after this period of time, those scholars and people may begin to miss those who were stepped in the mud by them. Bachelor, it will be more troublesome to do things by then.
That night, someone brought a message to Mr. Zhang in the imprisonment. If he admits the ordnance case himself, the matter will stop here, otherwise...
Sit in the haystack, Mr. Zhang, thinking about the cabbage and ink thrown from both sides of the street on the day when he was escorted back to Kyoto by the cavalry, a look of despair gradually appeared in his eyes.
Did my father really say that before he died? Nothing will happen without doing anything?
Even if the father said it, how could this be possible? It was not the first time that his old man had misunderstood the situation in his life.
Master Zhang remembered the conversation with his father many years ago. At that time, he knelt in front of the hospital bed, with tears on his face begging his father to think about what happened behind him, should he watch his sons die, one by one? At that time, my father severely rejected his request, saying don't mention it again. They would be fine. Later, he even banished him to the south himself... But now? I was in the imprisonment, I was about to die, and the scholar's mansion was surrounded, I was about to be copied.
"The princes in the DPRK were once your friends and students, but now they can't wait to dig you out of the tomb and whip your corpse. This is the case in history. Why don't you understand it!"
Looking at the white silk and the bottle of poison left on the ground by the visitor, the corners of his lips twitched slightly, revealing a nervous smile.
He suddenly shouted sternly: "Jin Cheng! You must die!"
The prison was very quiet, no one came to bother him, only his stern curse echoed in the cell.
The white silk is tied to the top of the iron fence, floating gently, like a white banner in a cemetery.
It broke with a snap.
Master Zhang fell onto the haystack, feeling a little confused, found the bottle of poison, opened it with trembling hands, and poured it into his mouth suddenly.
After a while, he found out that there was clear water in the bottle that was supposed to be highly toxic.
At this time, he was fully awake, looked at the dark prison room with alert eyes, and asked in a low voice: "Who is it?"
A man in black walked out of the shadows and said, "It's really troublesome, I hope you won't try to hit the wall again."
Master Zhang was very surprised. Chu's imprisonment was heavily guarded, and the formation was hidden within the stone wall, even the most powerful masters and practitioners could not sneak in.
"Who are you? Why save me?"
"I'm a part-time worker, do you think I am willing to take care of these nosy?"
The man in black broke a hand, and his sleeve hangs weakly, just like his voice: "I still have a lot of important things to do. I am going to kill the **** in Zhao country, and then kill Bai. The emperor, he was summoned here in a word."
After hearing these words, Master Zhang's pupils tightened, and his voice trembled slightly, "Are you in black?"
The man looked at his clothes and said inexplicably, "Do you have bad eyes?"
Master Zhang murmured: "You are not dead yet."
The man in black he was talking about is naturally not a person in black, but a specific name for someone in this world.
Many years ago, there was a strong man who liked fighting and killing people in the world. It is said that he was only under Mo Duke, and his combat power was extremely terrible. I don't know how many masters were killed in the four kingdoms of Qin, Zhao, Qi, and Chu. When the strong man appeared, he was all dressed in black, so he was called the man in black.
I heard that the man in black later left the Central Plains and went to the Western Regions to study hard. Who would have thought that he would come back again.
Master Zhang stared into his eyes and said: "You haven't answered my question yet, why are you saving me?"
The man in black ignored him, broke through the iron fence, knocked him unconscious and carried him out-the blue bird told him to save the lives of these people in the prison, the general and the other officials were stiff , Don't think of suicide, this young man Zhang is really troublesome, so it's the easiest to deal with.
Being so lazy and casual, people in black are naturally as good as old.
But no matter how powerful an assassin master is, it is impossible to confront the court head-on.
Zuo Rusui left the imprisonment with the unconscious Young Master Zhang and disappeared into the capital of Chu State, like a drop of water entering the sea, without causing any waves.
Qiu Feng Qiuyu was as worried as usual. The news of Zhang's escape from prison did not worry the court officials too much, but made them feel a lot of relief.
As a result, they can finally go one step further.
They can use this to copy the Bachelor's Mansion, and believe that even if they can't find the Royal Seal, His Majesty will never show up, and he will be able to punish the Zhang family's death.
……
……
With this thought, Jin Cheng, Shang Shu from the Ministry of Etiquette, came to the outside of the bachelor's office.
The door of the Bachelor's House has been knocked open. Hundreds of sergeants have entered, occupying various important areas, and have begun to check the scene. The scene is extremely chaotic, with overturned cabinets, collapsed flower stands and crying everywhere. , Even the rockery in the back garden was dug up, revealing a secret room full of gold bricks.
Jin Cheng frowned slightly, a little displeased, and told his subordinates around him: "Be more disciplined and don't surprise the old lady."
The subordinates responded in unison, but they were slanderous in their hearts, thinking that Master Shangshu, you were the most respected student of the bachelor back then, do you still want to continue to install it now?
Suddenly shouting from the depths of the Bachelor's Mansion, as well as the sound of heavy objects falling, Jin Shangshu frowned deeper and walked over there.
The subordinate explained in a low voice: "The back house has been controlled, but the back garden where the old lady lives is somewhat inconvenient."
Jin Shangshu didn't stop, and said in a low voice, "Are you putting things away?"
The subordinate official said in a lower voice, "At the bottom of the suitcase, there is no problem."
Jin Shangshu gave a hmm, didn't say anything, and soon came outside the back garden.
The back house was even more embarrassing. Several servant wives were pushed to the ground, blood was on their foreheads, and cloth and clothing were scattered everywhere.
Looking at the picture in front of him, there was a touch of intolerance in Jin Shangshu's eyes.
He doesn't know how many times he has been to the Bachelor's House, even the back house often comes in. Not long ago, he personally fed the teacher here and drank several times.
Several subordinate officials looked at his expression, and persuaded a few words just right, such as attaching importance to national affairs, such as how adults...
Jin Shangshu looked at the chaotic scene around him with a faint look, and then gave a self-deprecating smile.
That dress is an imperial robe.
For the past two decades, he has been persuading the teacher to ascend the throne and claim the emperor, but the teacher always disagrees.
Now that the teacher is dead, preparing an imperial robe for him is a filial piety.
There is a huge pear wood box in the old lady's room with the imperial robe at the bottom.
Looking at the closed door, Jin Shangshu tidied his clothes and said calmly, "Mother, please open the door."
There was a faint sound in the room, but no one opened the door.
Time is slowly passing by, Jin Shangshu's expression is getting colder, and he sternly said: "Smash the door!"
More than a dozen sergeants ignored the cries and curses of the servant women, ascended the steps, smashed the door open easily, and filed in.
However, these sergeants retreated quickly, with strange expressions on their faces, as if they had seen a ghost~ IndoMTL.com~ A man walked out of the room with a disheveled hair and could not see his face. The bright yellow imperial robe is very eye-catching.
The official handling this matter looked at the imperial robe, his expression suddenly changed, thinking that the clothes hidden at the bottom of the box, how could they be found out and put on them? But no matter who it is, wearing an imperial robe is a capital offense, and it came out of the old lady's house. How can the Academy get rid of it?
"Dare to add the emperor's robe! Take down this rebellious thief!"
The official ordered sharply, but didn't notice the movement beside him.
Looking at the man in the imperial robe, Jin Shangshu's face gradually paled.
The man raised his hands, separated his black hair, revealing his extremely handsome face, and said indifferently, "I am the emperor, what do I wear without an imperial robe?"
