Brother Wanfu

Chapter 111 Frustration
At the Taishan Temple Fair that day, the Nantian Gate suddenly shone with golden light.

At that time, Chang Zi was still some distance away from the Nantian Gate, when he suddenly heard someone shouting loudly in front of him.

"The Nantian Gate is lit! The Nantian Gate is lit! The divine light has descended!"

As soon as the cry came out, people like Chang Zi who came to worship the god would kowtow to pray to God when they knelt down.

At that time, Chang Zi thought that he had really hit the big luck, bumped into a fairy passing by, and the divine light descended. He didn't want to wait for him to continue climbing, and when he reached the Nantian Gate all the way, he saw that he was surrounded by people.

He couldn't see the situation above clearly outside the crowd, but the people around him told him.

"It's amazing, the princess is here!"

Chang Zi was taken aback at that time, when did his own princess rush up the mountain before him?

But then I heard voices from the crowd on the third floor and the third floor.

". That woman is a fake. She is not the orphan of His Royal Highness the former Crown Prince at all, but has stolen the relics of the former Crown Prince from the real princess, and confused the fake with the real one! The Suzheng Army clearly knew that she was a fake, but still supported her as a princess, secretly plotting , his heart can be punished! The heavens can learn from it."

"You said, although you didn't see it clearly, you still took a look. Did you see anything?"

*
The capital, the imperial palace.

Qin Shen paused, "Really?"

"Back to the princess, the younger one didn't see clearly, but, but that woman seems to be older than the princess, about eighteen or nineteen years old."

"I really didn't see the wrong person."

She wrote another word and put down the pen.

I don't know what happened to my wife, children, brothers and sisters.

Sun Wenjing didn't care too much, "What about the golden light and thunder at Nantianmen? Maybe it's just a firecracker? There's no one who claims to be a princess, and we have to argue with them."

For the current plan, let's protect the princess well first.

Even though she has become the supreme princess, she is still trapped in such a place.

She didn't want people like Su Zhengjun who had hidden thoughts to do harm in the name of the former prince, so she didn't want to be the princess.Unexpectedly, the upright soldier was replaced by a fake princess, so she had to escape and tell the truth!
The "true princess" did not end after saying the "truth", but instead sent a war card to the princess in the Suzheng army.

The roof of the dilapidated East Palace is covered with grass, how can there be a magnificent scene of the East Palace?

"say."

At that time, what should the little girl who is honored as a princess by Su Zhengjun do?
Qin Shen hurriedly returned to Yanzhou City.

Qi Ji agreed with Mr. He and added, "I sent someone to look for the fake princess near Mount Tai. I didn't want this person and his men to disappear so quickly that they couldn't be caught. It can be seen that they are not ordinary people."

"I've also heard about Jinan's failure to take down the next one. At this juncture, it's normal if you can't take Jinan, but don't worry, the general, there will be a turning point in a few days!"

Today it may just be impossible to attack the city, but tomorrow, the Suzheng army who managed to reach this place may disintegrate within a day.

As soon as this remark came out, Banshan was in an uproar.

Many people who originally said they would come to see the princess declined for various reasons.

But Wei You shook his head, "Not all of them are from the imperial court. This time, we have a lot of people from all walks of life. These people are unpredictable, and some of them are harder to deal with than assassins from the imperial court. The subordinates dare not take it lightly."

People in the Jianghu are fond of enmity, and many people believe the "true princess"'s rhetoric that they were persecuted and replaced, thinking that the Suzheng army is so powerful that they oppressed the "true princess" so far, and they all come to seek justice.

This also shows that Jinan is also an important city that must not be lost in the eyes of the emperor.

Open one at random, and they all write the same thing, please go to a place to confront the princess of Su Zhengjun in one month.

Sun Wenjing said so, but Mr. He stroked his beard and pondered for a while.

"The emperor praises the servant, how can the servant not rack his brains to do things for the emperor? As long as the emperor can sleep well every night, the servant will feel at ease even if he goes to the mountain of swords like a sea of ​​fire!"

If you don't know the answer, how do you know who to pledge your allegiance to?
Su Zhengjun didn't take this matter to heart at first, thinking that it was just someone grandstanding, but he didn't expect to trip Su Zhengjun.

These words made Qin Shen take a look at her, is she already used to the quiet life, and the days when variables will come to her every now and then?
Qin Shen was silent when he heard Su Ye speak.

This "true princess" told the "truth" and posted a "war post", which spread among local scholars for a while.

But Zhao Yin suddenly laughed and laughed out loud.

"General?" Jin Yao didn't know why the general didn't mean to scold him, but this made him feel even more uncomfortable.

The little eunuch trembled with fright.

After a while, he asked Chang Zi a question.

"The last general failed to open Jinan's door for the general, and the general's subsequent siege arrangements are useless. The last general delayed the general's affairs, and I ask the general to punish him!"

"Why did they assassinate the princess?" After Qin Shen asked this sentence, he had an answer when he finished speaking.

Su Ye looked like he didn't know what to say.

The little eunuch was taken aback by the emperor's hasty reaction, knelt down and kowtowed quickly.

The Princess Mansion was unusually quiet. Before he left, he and the bustling Princess Mansion looked like someone whose mouth had been covered, silent and careful.

That academy was not under the jurisdiction of the Suzheng Army, but it was not under the control of the imperial court either.

*
When the reward came to Qian Feng, he kowtowed to the Lord for his grace.

"What's the matter?"

Qin Shen pursed his lips tightly, looked at the guards all over the yard, and after a while, his eyes fell on the main hall, before he opened his mouth.

Originally, the Suzheng army was short of troops, and now there is not enough manpower, so the army will not be guaranteed to go north.

Even the Huizhou poets and writers faltered and refused to answer this matter.

Zhao Yin nodded, "I've been waiting for Su Zhengjun's fate for a long time, and finally I'm waiting for him to come to an end."

"People from the rivers and lakes?"

Su Zhengjun's princess looks so young, but she is not as good as the princess who suddenly appeared, and more like the rumored orphan of eighteen or nineteen years old.

The next day, when Qin Tian, ​​Sun Wenjing and others went to the conscription site, they saw that the number of people who came to apply for the conscription had decreased by half. Sun Wenjing did not expect that there were so many fewer people.

Qin Shen looked at him and raised his hand to help him up.

When he returned to Yanzhou City, he went directly to Sun Wenjing's place.

Jinan's inability to attack this time is indeed not Jin Yao's fault, but the disaster caused by the delay in deciding whether the princess is real or not.

Qian Feng wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and looked far away to the north.

Zhao Yin's words still sound unreal to Zhao Yin's ears.

"Not yet." Huang Xian said. "But don't worry, your Majesty, whether there is any response or not, the Suzheng army will be set on fire. They will come here, and the servants will prepare their manpower, so the princess will never return. If she doesn't , doesn’t it mean that it’s a fact of the matter? The servant will add fire to the people, and those little ordinary people don’t believe who they believe, don’t they know?”

This matter soon spread to the ears of the Suzheng soldiers from all walks of life.

The Suzheng army and the people in the rivers and lakes have always kept the water in the river.

They also want to know, there are two orphaned princesses of the former prince in the world today, which one is the real one.

"How is the princess these days?"

And the nearby city is a little numb after losing too much, but Jinan is different.

"My son, there have been a lot of assassins recently, and we have to closely protect the princess."

Qin Tian, ​​the "fake princess", frowned when she heard this.But Sun Wenjing told her not to care.

Qin Tian also asked, "Did something happen again?"

"Okay," he stopped Huang Xian, and glanced at the little eunuch, "Next time remember to finish speaking in one breath, get out."

Huang Xian saw that the emperor stopped, and turned his head to look in the direction of the East Palace.

When he returned to Yanzhou, he went to the Princess Mansion.

Seeing him coming here, Wei You hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Return to the emperor, the Suzheng Army has attacked Jinan Mansion!"

*
Qin Shen returned from the front for a while.

Just waiting for Jin Yao to leave, Qin Shen clenched his hands.

But at this moment, another ray of golden light flashed across the Nantian Gate, and thunder roared in the clear sky, which lasted for a long time.

"Is it because of the true and false princesses? They came to 'punish evil and promote good'?"

"This person must be extraordinary, and will definitely appear again."

"It's just idle time."

"Is this princess of Su Zhengjun a real princess or a fake princess?!"

"Qian Feng lost Jinan?! Does he want to die?! Do you want his whole family to be buried with him?!"

Qin Shen raised his eyebrows, "Are they all assassins sent by the imperial court?"

Just at this time, a young eunuch ran to the corner quickly.

Qin Shen asked a question.

Wei You nodded with embarrassment, "Exactly."

"The princess heard your footsteps."

"By the way, Qian Feng is quite capable this time. If he is reluctant, he will be rewarded!"

"The princess has a noble status, how can she confront anyone casually?"

The little eunuch hurriedly kowtowed to thank him, and ran away scrambling.

Zhao Yin's face turned ugly.

"Why did you add so many people?"

The "true princess" appeared again, and she couldn't help showing her identity in the crowd. She repeated what she said on the top of Mount Tai before, and said that the tablet of the old master Confucianism was lit up because Su Zhengjun had indeed taken out the tablet of the former prince in front of the tablet. The relic, and the relic was obtained from her by Su Zhengjun.

As soon as the words fell to the ground, everyone looked at him.

Qin Shen looked at the defeated Jin Yao and comforted him.

He didn't think he had any merit in defending Jinan City, but the emperor still rewarded him.

"You deserve a big reward."

The princess first sacrificed to Confucius, and then tried to win over the gentry and civil servants, but after many efforts, she ran aground here.

Huang Xian looked at the emperor, "The emperor is really happy today."

She was still smiling with him, but Qin Shen couldn't.

On the fifth day after Zhang Shouyuan finished speaking, the "princess" really appeared again.

I saw two large boxes of posts on the bluestone slab outside the hall.

Mount Tai has already entered the territory of the Suzheng Army, and the Suzheng Army has always been lenient towards the common people, allowing the common people to hold temple fairs even before the war.

But this time at the Taishan Temple Fair, a "true princess" appeared under the nose of Su Zhengjun. This person was like the "Book in the Fish's Belly" that Mr. Sun made in front of the statue of Confucius, and there was also a "true princess" on the Nantian Gate. Jin Guang testified.More importantly, compared to Qin Tian, ​​her age is more in line with the rumored age of the princess, and also more in line with the time when the first prince was alive.

*
Jinan was not captured, which was unexpected and reasonable.

Zhao Yin laughed, "Your mouth is as sweet as honey. But having said that, you have created such a big momentum, with the golden light on the Nantian Gate, the crowd gathered in front of the academy gate, and the posting of posts to the Suzheng army all over the city." , Su Zhengjun didn’t respond at all?”

This is a place where no one cares, and there are many scholars.

This time, he appeared in front of an academy. The academy was named for recruiting students, and that day happened to be the time when the students returned to the academy after their rest.

But the general seemed to see what was going on in his heart.

It was Huang Xian who pinched the little eunuch, "Can you talk? Why are you still panting when you answer in front of the emperor?! Do you want to be punished?!"

"What did the priest say?"

"Recently, the morale of the army has been low, and people's hearts have been scattered. Jinan is not an ordinary place, and it is common to suffer setbacks here. After all, it is impossible for the Suzheng army to flourish every year."

"Back to the emperor, General Qian did not lose the Jinan Mansion, but instead severely defeated the Suzheng Army and sent Suzheng Army back."

"Where is the post?" Qin Shen asked in a deep voice.

Chang Zi squeezed and wanted to go in to take a look, but the woman who called herself "the real princess" was protected by a group of people, and he couldn't see anything clearly. Those people shouted loudly and quickly disappeared.

She has been under the supervision of the army, until today she escaped from the army.

Huang Xian's abacus was crackling, but it sounded in Zhao Yin's heart, making him half-hearted.

"Are your shoulders so sharp? Just pick up a pen and practice calligraphy?"

Both of them talked like this, Sun Wenjing really thought about it, and in a blink of an eye saw Zhang Shouyuan who hadn't spoken for a while.

He originally wanted to say that he couldn't see anything because of his poor eyesight, but he suddenly realized something and glanced at the face of his own princess.

After the disasters in various places, some people here raised their flags to rebel at first, but the rebels were very barbaric and ran rampant in the village. They were eventually overthrown by several local clans. Currently, four local clans jointly govern the area.

Everyone didn't know whether it was true or not, but the only thing they were waiting to see was whether the princess in the Suzheng army would really come to confront her and find out the truth.

Ever since the Suzheng Army raised the flag to rebel, whenever he heard such a report, he probably lost the city.

However, as soon as this incident happened, the meeting with the scholars invited by the Huizhou poetry and calligraphy family was originally planned, but it was delayed.

Wei You talked about Shang'an.

Zhao Yin was in a good mood, so he called the little eunuch over.

Huang Xian heard the emperor say something in an extremely soft voice, and headed towards the top of the deserted and grassy palace.

Not to mention the scholars, even the common people and even the people in Yanzhou City are talking about it. They don't understand other things, they only understand a little.

When Sun Wenjing heard that he came suddenly, he hurried out to greet him. Qin Shen didn't want to be polite to him, and was about to ask how to deal with the matter of the real and fake princesses. He could neither let Qin Tian really confront him, nor just let it go.

It's just that before he asked, Sun Wenjing said.

Su Ye led the two of them outside the hall.

Huang Xian quickly thanked him.

"Want to turn over with a trace of blood? Do you really think it's so easy? This country is already mine. No matter what I do, remember, it has nothing to do with you."

Qin Shen frowned and walked all the way to the princess hall. As soon as he entered, he saw more guards in the courtyard.

While speaking, Qia came to the road leading to the East Palace.

"Although there was a case of a rebel army setting up a fake princess before, but after the court cracked down, this incident never happened again. Now everyone knows that there is a real princess in the Suzheng army, and no one will fight with the Suzheng army. Why at this time, there are so-called princesses who come to Su Zhengjun's territory and make a lot of noise?"

Qin Shen silently raised his foot to the outside of the palace gate.

With just this sentence, Huang Xian laughed until the corners of his eyes flew up.

When Chang Zi heard the princess' question, he recalled it carefully.

Just as Qin Shen wanted to ask her if she felt sad because of this, Su Ye came back into the hall from outside.

Qin Shen stepped in and saw her standing in front of the desk, writing with a pen.

"Back to the princess, son, dozens of posts suddenly appeared in the city, and the common people picked up the posts and sent them to the door of the princess mansion. That was, that was the post that the fake princess sent to the princess, asking the princess to confront her. "

As soon as they left, the whole mountain boiled up.

When Zhao Yin heard this, his eyelids twitched.

As soon as he arrived, Su Ye lifted the curtain for him from the inside.

The location is set in that academy.

"As long as the princess doesn't step out of Yanzhou City, or even the princess mansion, it's impossible for assassins to break in."

The main general in this battle was Jin Yao, the young general was so frustrated on the battlefield for the first time, he couldn't stand upright, and when he saw Qin Shen, he knelt down.

After listening to Chang Zi's words, Qin Tian didn't know what to respond for a while.

Eighteen or nineteen years old, exactly the age of the rumored princess.

Qiji got the idea of ​​some scholars turning around.

He was about to ask someone to ask, but suddenly someone in the crowd shouted at Qin Tian.

Zhang Shouyuan opened his mouth and said.

Rumors are flying around outside, and they are all faxing about the fake princess. Malicious speculation is spreading faster and faster like an epidemic.

In the corridor between the palace walls, the emperor Zhao Yin walked slowly in front, only the eunuch Huang Xian followed closely beside him.

Qin Shen called her.

His general, Qian Feng, had all his troops under Jinan Mansion. If Jinan was lost, the Suzheng Army would be equivalent to bumping into the gate of the imperial city.

Huang Xianli stood aside, pretending he didn't hear, but soon, the emperor withdrew his gaze and looked at him with a smile.

"True gold is not afraid of fire, how dare Su Zhengjun let your princess come to confront you?"

Sun Wenjing had always been the one to deal with things other than these battles, and Qin Shen rarely intervened, but this time Sun Wenjing didn't deal with it for a long time, and Qin Shen couldn't wait any longer.

Zhao Yin thought of others again.

Qian Feng couldn't help laughing at the reward. What if he didn't have such good luck next time and couldn't keep Jinan City even if he tried his best?
What will be waiting for him?
Did he die, or did his whole family die?

Sun Wenjing laughed. "Really. Someone offered a plan and kept it for a few days, and half of these rumors will be suppressed!"

But Sun Wenjing didn't tell him who offered what kind of trick, he just said mysteriously.

"General, wait!"

　good night.
