Chapter 58: The Rising

In the sixth year of Chang'an, the eldest princess was assassinated in Luoyang, and his life and death were unknown. The right prime minister Su Yi took the sixteen guards of the Southern Yamen to control the imperial city and the Baisun Courtyard where the clan relatives gathered, and the ten princes' mansion, saying that there were treacherous slander in the court and affair with foreign enemies.

The ministers were in an uproar, and the young emperor avoided it. At that time, the public opinion was unclear. There were rumors that the eldest princess wanted to perform the Martial Empress and abolished the emperor and ascended the throne.

The ministers in the court had different thoughts and people were volatile. King Li Tong of Wei took the opportunity to get involved in the army and became angry in Youzhou, claiming to be the purgatory of the throne.

Youzhou, the governor's office.

Your Highness!

Deputy General He stepped into the courtyard and excitedly pushed open the door, even forgot the courtesy he should have.

Your Highness, he said to Li Tong happily: News has come, Chang'an, the right prime minister Su Yi used the Sixteen Guards of the Southern Yamen to control the imperial city!Even Princess Taiping and the Saint were controlled by her, and the court is now in panic.

good!

Li Tong smiled and immediately stood up from the bed, and asked Deputy General He urgently: What about Luoyang?Takuka's assassination was successful?

Deputy General He smiled even more. It turned out that our secret line has been reported. The eldest princess was seriously injured and would definitely not recover for a while.

well!

Li Tong became even more refreshed when he heard that Li Jin's life and death were uncertain.

Although the incident happened suddenly, the right prime minister used the sixteen guards to control the imperial city, and the saint avoided it. Such unfaithful and unofficial behavior further confirmed Li Tong's clearance of the emperor.

The unintentional actions of the right prime minister could actually become his own east wind. Li Tong felt very proud and couldn't help but stroke his beard and thought to himself that the Taoist's prediction was indeed correct.

The east wind crosses darkly, and the dragon soars into the nine heavens. When the secret of heaven comes, the emperor's destiny will be the emperor.

Li Tong silently recited the Taoist's judgment and felt more and more excited.

This time, I went to the capital to save the saints and naturally held authority. I would plan slowly in the future and ascend to the world!

He grinned unconsciously, and Li Tong was so proud that he remembered that there was still something to do.

Is Chen Jun willing to agree? He asked Deputy General He, is the old man still on a hunger strike? Don't let him die.

Deputy General He reported truthfully that he drank some water this morning, but he still had no food delivered.

Li Tong nodded. The ability to drink some water means that Chen Jun’s destiny is not so resolute.

What about Chen Jiming and Shen Jingshu?

Chen Jiming was locked up with his little book boy, and there was no movement for the time being. Chen Jingshu was watched alone, and nothing unusual.

Well, Li Tong has tidied up his clothes and is proud of himself. Please continue to stare at these two people. I will meet that old man.

……

The wing room.

The layout is simple, and the imprisoned Chen Jingshu only has one bed to rest, and nothing else.

She had not yet entered the water for two days, and Youzhou was located in the north, much drier than Jiangnan, and Chen Jingshu's lips were dry.

The weak hands and feet are completely supported by will.

He was weak in breathing. Chen Jingshu didn't know how long she would be imprisoned, and she didn't know what the situation outside was.

Is her collar safe?

With a creaking sound, the door was pushed open, and the little maid who was responsible for delivering water and food quietly walked in.

She covered the door, walked carefully to the bed, and put the simple coarse tea on the table.

Chen Jingshu looked at her, and after the little maid put down the tray, she gestured to her and advised her to have some food.

This was a little mute, who could only gesture with his hands. When she saw Chen Jingshu not eating, she suddenly showed an expression of distress and anxiety on her face.

Chen Jingshu still shook her head, and then she accumulated some strength to ask her: I'm asking you, but I'm a little surprised?

The little mute stared at Chen Jingshu with dark eyes, and nodded heavily after a while.

Chen Jingshu smiled.

The two days after she was arrested, this little mute served her. Chen Jingshu found that although she was very awkward in serving people, she was quite skillful in doing things.

It is probably because of the nearby farmer's wife, who was temporarily arrested by the King of Wei to do chores.

Seeing that she was simple in her heart, Chen Jingshu gave the jade bracelet on her hand to the little mute, making her pay attention to the news outside.

Now, she understood word by word with the little mute gesture.

There are three groups of people arrested in our village, one group is responsible for serving the military master, one group is responsible for delivering food to... you are going to a far place with your eyes blindfolded... I don't know what to do.

I don’t know what happened outside… I’m not allowed to enter and exit the city… There are many soldiers.

The little mute said this very slowly, and she couldn't stay for too long, otherwise it would easily cause suspicion. Chen Jingshu thanked her and asked her to leave quickly.

The door closed again, Chen Jingshu pushed the food a little away, and began to think about what the little mute told her.

A group of people went to a far place with blindfolded eyes, which was probably a trick, but it was actually nearby. Otherwise, there was no need to be blinded. The blindfolded one should be to cover up.

It is very likely that those villagers just go to deliver food to detained merchants or craftsmen.

Since that's the case, there should be someone alive. Chen Jingshu secretly prayed that the An Madam was also among them and could persevere until the end.

Sighing, Chen Jingshu thought of the question that had been lingering in her mind: Why did Li Tong arrest their Shen family?

Their trip to Chang'an north should be uncertain. So, the King of Wei found their place so accurately, and there were spies following them.

But the question is, is there anything that the Shen family worthy of the King of Wei’s planning and deliberation?

……

Master Chen, have you thought about it? Um?

King Li Tong of Wei stood in front of Shen Jun with his hands behind his back, looking down at Shen Jun sitting cross-legged on the haystack.

Just two days later, Chen Jun actually lost weight significantly.

But his calmness still remained calm, and Chen Jun didn't raise his eyelids. This answer: I am only three feet tall and small, but I am not very useful. Your Highness really respects me.

Li Tong brought a man with a month-old stool and sat down in front of Shen Jun.

Taifu Chen was so arrogant that he spread his legs apart. Li Tong took off the short sword he wore and drew it out of the sheath.

After his subordinate handed over a small towel, Li Tong began to wipe his sword carefully, pinching a soft cloth to wipe the blade.

The cold light of the weapon is so attractive that such a sharp weapon is so close that it can pierce into Chen Jun's chest with just one deflection.

But Chen Jun still kept his face unchanged.

Who in the world knows that the Taifu Chen of Yangzhou is a great master in the literary world, and the emperor's pen is waiting for him.

Li Tong turned his sword slowly, as if he was really wiping it seriously.

Half of the former emperor's disciples had once worshipped Taifu Chen as their master. Regarding the world's many students, Taifu Chen is worthy of his reputation.

It seemed that he had finally finished wiping the sword body. Li Tong looked up at Chen Jun and showed a meaningful smile.

I think Grand Tutor Chen is better than Luo Binwang at that time.

Luo Binwang, one of the four heroes of the early Tang Dynasty, once shocked the world with an article "Expression for Xu Jingye to Detect Wu Zhao". His literary history was like a sacred pearl of the Wu Emperor, with a clear and clear matter, a strong spirit and a decisive voice, and a great noise and momentum, which made all the Wu Emperor amaze.

Li Tong obviously wanted Chen Jun to follow Luo Binwang back then and make a name for his purity.

Understanding the intention of King Wei, Chen Jun only smiled faintly.

Your Highness compares someone with Luo Binwang. Could it be that Xu Jingye’s second place?

Xu Jingye also used the banner of returning to power Li Tang, but his fate was extremely miserable and tragic.

Xu Jingye, an outsider, naturally cannot compare with Xiao Wang.

King Wei held the short sword silently in his hand, and looked at Chen Jun again, his eyes dark and unclear.

Since Xiao Wang is not Xu Jingye, and Taifu Chen is unwilling to be Luo Binwang, then let’s talk about the Princess Ten Guards’ defense map.
