My historian is dying every day

Chapter 54 [Another 78 Knives]

Qi Yu was sitting on the wide-backed mahogany chair, with his head slightly raised, seeing Wen Yanzhi standing in front of him, leaning over and grabbing his collar, if it wasn't for his soft expression, he would have looked like he was looking for trouble and beating someone.

At this time, the toxicity was at its peak, Qi Yu felt that Wen Yanzhi in front of him was blurred, and he couldn't see clearly, but he laughed, and there was a trace of satisfaction and relief in that laugh.

Wen Yanzhi let go of his hands in shame, and stood up straight: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is smiling, so smiling..."

Qi Yu swung his right hand forward, pulled him onto his lap and sat astride him, "I was thinking, I should be able to get another seventeen or eight knives... so you will kiss me seventeen or eight more times—" —”

"Your majesty's body is rich in gold, how can you make such a joke!" Wen Yanzhi stood up angrily at his nonsense, and said in a serious tone: "Even just now, the emperor shouldn't stand in the way of a humble minister! That woman Come towards Weichen, let her scratch on Weichen!"

"How can I be willing?" Qi Yu closed his eyes amusedly, grabbed his fingers with his right hand, and squeezed them unconsciously, "The scissors are aimed at your face, if they cut your face, I will probably explode in rage. He can crush that poisonous woman into mud on the spot."

Wen Yanzhi shook his hand away: "Just because of a face, the emperor doesn't care about the safety of the dragon's body. If this move falls into the annals of history, how can it be said that the word "faint king" is enough to describe it! It won't help if you wipe your face!"

"How can there be a word worse than a foolish king?" Qi Yu laughed dizzily, "Forget it, forget it, I'm fine. If you don't write it down, no one else will know about it." He raised his foot and kicked He kicked Wen Yanzhi's calf: "Okay, Wen Yanzhi, your face looks good, why don't you keep it? Huh?"

Wen Yan looked down at him sullenly, his eyes filled with resentment and resentment, and he did not speak.

Qi Yu smiled wryly in his heart, and was about to continue coaxing a few more words, but at the next moment Wen Yanzhi suddenly knelt down and stepped on both sides of his legs, put his hands on the back of his head, bowed his head and kissed him.This kiss is not like the touch of a dragonfly, but like rain hitting flowers, the strength is affectionate and heavy, there is stubbornness in every inch, it can be called overbearing, and there is a trace of pity and anger, lingering between the lips and teeth, as if only I can't wait to eat it.

This move will shatter Qi Yu's mind, he only felt that the poison penetrating into the top of his head became scalding, igniting and rising in his brain, and before he knew it, his uninjured right hand had tightly embraced Wen Yanzhi's waist , the breathing is connected in the lingering, I don't know who is more advanced, who is more persistent, and the slightest bit of desire is wrapped in the whole body.

Wen Yanzhi pressed against his forehead, panting for a few breaths, the hands holding the back of his neck trembled slightly, and said in a muffled voice: "From now on... from now on, this will not be done again."

Qi Yu responded repeatedly, and then covered his lips to kiss him. His heart was warm and honeyed. At this time, what could he say to make Qi Yu respond well?Qi Yu would not even blink if he asked Qi Yu to fish out the goose feathers falling from the oil pan.

Qi Yu looked up at him, did not let go of his hands, bent his almond eyes and smiled: "Today is my mistake, but my head is still dizzy, how about going to the bed to continue the training?"

Wen Yanzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and knocked off Qi Yu's right hand with his backhand, and stepped back from him to stand upright, "The woman has followed her back, guard Li is afraid that she will make trouble, I'd better go and have a look."

Qi Yu propped his chin and sighed, looking at Wen Yanzhi with reluctance, as if looking at a piece of meat that fell into a bowl but could not be eaten, and finally sighed: "Success, you go."

When Wen Yanzhi walked to the front yard, the two secret guards who had just taken up the post were kneeling on the ground, their backs were straight, as if they had been kneeling for a long time, Gong Zhiyuan stood aside and watched, shaking his head and sighing.

Li Gengnian walked around in the front yard resentfully, turned around and slapped the guard on the back of the head with two slaps: "Usually lazy in training, you are lazy! When something big happens, you will make a mistake! What use are you! I should have done it long ago!" Cut you up and feed them to the dogs! The vicious woman got her at such a close distance, what are you doing for food!"

The two hidden guards knew that even if the capital crime was avoidable, the living crime was inevitable. At this moment, they both drooped their heads, looking very sincere and repentant.

Seeing Wen Yanzhi coming out, Gong Zhiyuan hurried up to greet him with a concerned expression, "Brother Wen, you were shocked, is Liu Shilang alright?"

Wen Yanzhi said: "Liu Shilang has rested, I'll take a look at that woman."

Li Gengnian led Wen Yanzhi to sit in the front hall, "The prison is filthy. Officer Wen is waiting here. I'll ask someone to bring the woman up." Just as he was about to leave, he turned back and asked, "The woman's mouth The Chinese shouted and scolded fiercely, did you have a feud with Wen Yuanwai in the past?"

"I didn't have such a woman before, and I don't even remember that there was such a woman in the Qin family." Wen Yanzhi sighed, "But Mr. Lu died because I recognized her. Since she is his wife, it is only natural for her to hate me... "

"Then let's hold our grudges and give her a bloody scar on her head first." Li Gengnian snorted, "If his husband hadn't run away, wouldn't he be living well now? This woman is really ridiculous. Ask her now." Where are the two children, she doesn't say a word, she doesn't know what she is thinking."

Gong Zhiyuan and Wen Yanzhi were relieved for a while, knowing that they still had to interrogate the woman, and it was inconvenient for them to be present, so they turned back to the backyard.After a while, two warriors lifted the woman up.Although she committed a heinous crime, the woman may have known about the will, so she was not punished immediately.Wen Yanzhi looked at Li Gengnian's livid face glaring at the woman, fearing that if the woman didn't say something, she would lose her hands and feet, so he couldn't help shaking his head.

The woman was already lying on the ground like a puddle of mud, she must have been hiding outside for many days, and she was finally tired after yelling and scolding for a long time, her eyes were red and swollen from crying, her sallow cheeks were sunken, and she looked depressed, looking at Wen Yanzhi, He only said slowly: "Since it falls into the hands of you dog officials, I only have one life left anyway, so you can take whatever you want!"

Wen Yanzhi sat on the chair in the middle and looked down at her, "What's your name, madam?"

The woman smiled coldly: "How can we such vulgar women be worthy of Mr. Wen's Madam, my surname is Tao, and I'm just called Tao Shi."

Wen Yanzhi sighed, and was speechless for a long while, then suddenly asked: "Mr. Lu... What has happened to him in recent years? Why is he crippled, why is he disfigured?" Recalling the past, although Lu Shiqiu failed a long time in the test, he was still good. With a scholarly demeanor, because of his poor family, he was helped by Qin Wenshu and accepted as a disciple, and he also looked tolerant and open-minded. How could he become such a rickety person in three years?

As soon as her husband was mentioned, Tao's expression became more miserable, and she looked at Wen Yanzhi angrily: "You still have the face to ask! My husband and I fled in a hurry, and we were hunted and killed several times along the way. It was so easy to hide our names. But I ran out of you!"

"You bitches are also absurd," Li Gengnian sneered, "Back then Qin Wenshu was so kind to you, and when the disaster was approaching, you pair of mandarin ducks flew so fast, why didn't you think about how wicked you were?"

"What do you know!" Tao suddenly straightened up and shouted: "The two of us never thought of running away! It was Qin Shangshu who persuaded us to escape! When the incident happened, Qin Shangshu had foreseen it, and my husband swore I didn't want to leave, but I was pregnant again... Qin Shangshu tried hard to persuade us to leave, and prepared us a package. We thought that even if it was a disaster, it would not be so serious that it would be beheaded, so we obeyed. After receiving Enhui from Qin Shangshu, I went to Chenzhou to hide my name. But within three or four months, someone approached my husband and asked him if he had seen any ancient paintings!"

Wen Yanzhi quickly asked: "Who is that?"

Tao Shi smiled sadly: "How do I know? They only tied up my husband to ask questions, and the legs were discounted at that time... After all, seeing my husband didn't know, they just wanted to kill my husband. Fortunately, I will do something more." Orion is capable, escaped after a narrow escape..."

Wen Yanzhi asked again: "Are you sure you don't know about ancient paintings? Did Qin Shangshu ever talk to Mr. Lu before his death?"

"Mr. Wen, you are also good at making fun of people." Tao sarcastically said, "In the past, when you and Fang Shilang were here, how did Qin Shangshu ever look at my husband? Even you don't know about such secrets. How could you know!"

——Could the clues end here again?Wen Yanzhi had a headache: "The old case of Qin Shangshu is really strange. The reason why I was an official and lived in the capital was to know the truth and rehabilitate Qin Shangshu... If Madam knows something hidden or strange, Wanwang will let you know... ...this involves..."

At this point, it is better to say it, he said decisively: "It involves the matter of Yonghui's last edict."

Tao Shi was startled: "The will?!"

Wen Yanzhi quickly squatted in front of her: "Madam, what did you remember?"

Tao Shi seemed to be in mourning, shook his head, and murmured: "Could it be... yes, brother?"

The word "big brother" was poked in Wen Yanzhi's ear, making him happy: "Yes! When I saw Mr. Lu last, Mr. Lu said, 'It's all for big brother'. Madam, do you know what this means? "

Tao suddenly burst into tears, tears streaming down: "My husband is always insane, and I thought he was just talking nonsense... Who would have thought that this matter is so important!... He said that Qin Shangshu told him a story... ...He has been telling me every day in recent years, I, I have been calling him long-winded..."

"What did Qin Shangshu say?" Wen Yanzhi asked urgently.

Tao Shi said: "Before my husband left, he drank farewell to Qin Shangshu and asked Qin Shangshu repeatedly what was going on. Wan Guan has two sons. The elder son is quite capable, but cruel, and the younger son is not good enough, but he has a good temper... One day, the master died suddenly, and the elder son drove the younger son out of the house to seize the family wealth... ... After a few years, the old man Saosa found a suicide note under the old bedboard of the old master... My husband said, Qin Shangshu asked him, what will happen to this old man Saosa?"

——If the current head of the family is cruel and merciless, if the will that the old man saw was not left to him, how can he survive?

What is the metaphor of this story, almost no need to think carefully... If the "elder son" refers to the former emperor Mingde, who plotted to kill Qin Wenshu because he discovered the existence of ancient paintings, then who is the "younger son"?Was the one who chased and killed Lu Shiqiu and the one who killed Qin Wenshu the same former emperor?Or did the "younger son" find out about the existence of the suicide note, intending to get it back and regain control of the family business, so he chased after him?

Emperor Yonghui has many heirs, and there are four or five of them who are quite capable. Except for Emperor Mingde, there are still many people who can think of the "younger son". At this time, there is no clue, and it is completely impossible to know.

Besides, what is the content of the will?About the throne?Who is the throne for?Does this have anything to do with Yunzhu's disappearance?What kind of relationship?What is the purpose of the person who kidnapped Yunzhu?

unknown.

Wen Yanzhi lowered his head and sighed, feeling depressed and panicked. It had been more than two months since Yunzhu disappeared, and his daily panic had already become a habit.

Seeing that he had nothing else to ask, Li Gengnian ordered Tao Shi to be taken away.Because the one who killed Lu Shiqiu was someone else's eyeliner who had been placed next to Qi Yu, he belonged to the secret guard or the Ministry of War who followed him. From the day of the interrogation until now, the suspected secret guards have been locked up, but they have not confessed. When Dow finds it, he will be able to examine whether there are other clues to find out this secret work.

Then, look at who is at the helm after this detailed work.

When Wen Yanzhi went to see Qi Yu in the north courtyard again, the imperial physician was changing the medicine.Qi Yu was lying on his side on the bed, as if he just woke up after falling asleep, seeing Wen Yanzhi standing by the door, he smiled at him.

After the imperial doctor collected the cost, he respectfully asked: "The emperor told me that this medicine needs to be changed every three hours, and after the toxicity of the iron begonia subsides, or the wound is swollen and itchy, the emperor must not scratch it, and wait two days. The wound scabbed over and started to fall off, and it healed naturally."

Qi Yu lowered his eyes and said, "I understand, you can step back."

The imperial physician took the box and left, and Wen Yanzhi sat down beside Qi Yu's bed with a heavy face.

"Just now Gong Zhiyuan came to see me and said that you went to interrogate that woman." Qi Yu sized up his expression, lying on his side with his forehead propped up, "I guess, maybe there is no clue."

Wen Yanzhi sighed, and told Qi Yu the story of the big family.Qi Yu stopped listening, thought about it for a while, and suddenly asked: "Are you sure, that youngest son is... good-natured?"

Wen Yanzhi nodded, "Dao said that Mr. Lu speaks crazily every day, so he must remember everything perfectly, and there will be no mistakes."

Qi Yu frowned, as if he was in deep thought, and after a while, he said softly: "Wen Yanzhi, do you remember that when the former emperor passed away, the old Prince Jing was very sad... In a hurry, he went with the king?"

Wen Yanzhi thought about it briefly, "Naturally, there is a record in the notes of the Neishifu, why?"

Qi Yu pursed his lips into a smile, "Neishifu... Didn't Cao Buwei tell you that the records that Neishifu can see are probably fake?"

Wen Yanzhi's whole body was shocked, and he was too shocked to speak.

Qi Yu sighed, put down his right hand and lay down on his own, as if remembering something heavy, he smiled suddenly: "The story of Qin Shangshu is well told, the one who is cruel and merciless is indeed the first emperor... After all, you also remember Zhennan Let alone the story of Huanggu, she died so tragically in the end, and she died of depression in the history books. Now you listen, the old King Jing was able to climb Zhiwu Peak to worship Buddha in his 60s. Can you believe that he is in a hurry? Heartbroken?"

"Then..." Wen Yanzhi felt chills running down his spine, "Could it be that the former emperor gave Old Prince Jing to..."

Qi Yu looked up at the top of the bed beam, and didn't answer his words right away, but seemed to remember something else, and after a while, he said quietly: "In the last battle before the emperor was alive, I led troops to surround the imperial city. , I thought... the first emperor would have scolded me in front of the dragon bed, but I didn't know... He seemed to be expecting me to go, and he knew it a long time ago. Since childhood, he has never treated me well. I only rewarded me with one thing, a purple jade pendant, which was later snatched away by the crown prince... I am the same as the former emperor, father and son have a weak relationship, and later on I have been in the army for a long time, and I always said that he never cared about me ...But that night, he held my hand and said that he had expected it to be me, and it shouldn't be someone else..."

Wen Yanzhi stretched out his hand to grab the slender fingers of Qi Yu's right hand, and said softly: "The emperor is a good emperor, and the destiny belongs to him."

Qi Yu let out a muffled laugh, and pulled him over to lie beside him, "How can you still be a good emperor with a broken sleeve? Your mouth is so sweet today, maybe you ate honey..."

Wen Yanzhi let him pull him away, and also gave a pale smile. Hearing what he said, for a moment, thinking about the future, he felt a little sad, and felt that his eyes were dark and he could not see the future.

At this time, Qi Yu went on to speak again: "The first emperor said a lot to me that night...more than all the words he said to me in his whole life...about Zhennan Huanggu, about My mother, about his scattered brothers, my emperor's uncles... There are also some trivial matters about the emperor. In the end, he asked that there were rumors in the will that the throne passed on by Emperor Yonghui was not given to him... he At that time, he was already terminally ill, and I was very confused when I said this. Only then did I know that this was his heart disease in this life. Until the last moment before he died, he was still talking about his merits and achievements... He said it should be him Yes, it should belong to me by now... He said that there should not be an imperial edict on the matter of the throne since ancient times. Who can be the emperor depends on the ability of each family. How can it be decided by a human being? This is not fair at all. ... Until, until the last moment, he said that the person he feared the most in his life was King Jing. When he leaves today, he will also take King Jing with him. It should be his country, and he will hand it over to his son. I will never hand it over to anyone else again...you put me at ease...after the late emperor passed away, I was guarding the mourning hall in Zi Palace in the palace, and it was King Yu who came to tell me, and I only knew that Uncle Jing was gone..."

Wen Yanzhi felt that the fingers in the palm of his hand were slightly cold, so he couldn't help covering them with another hand to hold them, and patted them lightly.

"Boil the beans for soup, soak the beans for juice, burn the beans under the cauldron, and weep in the cauldron... They grow from the same root, so why is it too urgent to cook?" Qi Yu smiled miserably, held his finger back, and shook it. Shaking my head, "I often think, maybe I am not the son of the first emperor, why he, the crown prince, and King Kang could... send their sisters to marry other countries at will, and plan to kill their brothers for many years, but I can't? Could it be that they didn't Do you think being born from the same root is a blessing?"

Qi Yu sighed, "Uncle Jing took us to the village to fly kites when we were young. Qi Xuan was still young and stood at the entrance of the village watching people spin tops and shuttlecocks. Zheng also went back to eat together in the palace at night, and the late emperor told us the story of him and Prince Jing when they were young...why did they look like that later?..."

"...Wen Yanzhi, what do you think this emperor is?"
