If I add money to become a layman, I can cultivate immortality

Chapter 62 I have a bold idea...

Hearing Empress Zhang's praise, Ding Xiu couldn't help but humbly said: "Everything depends on the emperor's trust and the support of the cabinet."

After chatting for a while, Queen Zhang suddenly asked: "By the way, I heard that there was a killer who intended to assassinate the general during the investigation?"

"Yes, they are the killers of Qingyi Tower. Wei Chen is working hard to find out their details. As soon as there are clues, we will launch operations to catch them all."

Empress Zhang said with a concerned look on her face: "The forces of Jianghu should not be underestimated. Generals still need to be more careful."

"Thank you for your concern, ma'am."

At this time, Queen Zhang asked casually: "I heard that the general left a poem in Nuanxiang Pavilion?"

"Uh?"

Ding Xiu was stunned for a moment, then looked embarrassed.

Why did this romantic affair spread to the harem?Who is such a long-tongued person?
Could it be Dongchang?

In fact, this is called the authorities being obsessed with it.

Ding Xiu himself probably didn't even know how many people in the court were secretly watching his every move.

Especially Dongchang, I am afraid that I wish I could have a clear grasp of all his movements and all the things he has done, and then find an opportunity to bring him down.

After all, the conflicts between the two sides are irreconcilable.

"If life is just like the first time you see it, what is the autumn wind and the sad painting fan. Waiting for leisure to change the old man's heart, but the old man's heart is easy to change..."

Empress Zhang chanted a few words slowly, and then added: "I didn't expect that the general, who is capable of both literary and military skills, would also have such a loving side."

Ding Xiu said sarcastically: "Wei Chen is just feeling emotional for a moment, just to make the empress laugh."

Empress Zhang smiled gently and said: "I wonder if the general has any other works of emotion? Can you let me appreciate them too?"

When the empress opened her mouth, Ding Xiu naturally couldn't refuse: "Since the empress is a bit elegant, I can only show my shame and sing another song. I hope the empress will not laugh."

"A general need not humble himself again and again."

Ding Xiu cleared his throat and chanted slowly: "One journey to the mountains, one journey to the water, walking towards the bank of Yuguan, late at night with thousands of tent lights. The wind is changing, the snow is changing, the dreams of hometown are shattered, and the hometown is gone. This sound."

When he finished reciting, Queen Zhang was speechless for a long time, as if she was still savoring the charm of the words.

After a while, he stroked his palm and said: "Good words! These two poems about the general are quite reminiscent of the former Song Dynasty. I am afraid that it would be difficult for even the great scholars of the current dynasty to write such good sentences."

"Weichen is really ashamed. Weichen only wrote a few impromptu poems. How can he compare to a great scholar?"

This time, Ding Xiu was really not self-effacing.

Although he has ideas that are far beyond the current world, when it comes to his skills in classical Chinese and poetry, he may not even be able to match a scholar, let alone a bachelor.

But Empress Zhang didn't know his secret. On the contrary, she thought that Ding Xiu was neither arrogant nor impetuous, and was capable of literature and martial arts, and she liked him even more.

Of course, this kind of good impression is just a simple good impression, or appreciation, and has nothing to do with the relationship between men and women.

Next, Empress Zhang asked some questions about the world seemingly casually. Although the harem could not interfere in politics, it did not mean that she could not discuss it with others.

Ding Xiu responded to the convection and added some of his own opinions from time to time, which made Empress Zhang look at him in a new light.

After chatting for a long time, Empress Zhang couldn't help but sigh: "It's no wonder that the emperor reuses generals. Mr. Han Ge also appreciates generals."

"This is my great fortune..."

The moonlight is bright, the breeze is blowing, and the night insects are whispering.

The night is beautiful tonight!

The next day, Wen Zhiyuan presided over the mausoleum ceremony.

In fact, there is essentially no difference between royal mausoleum worship and ordinary people visiting the graves of their deceased relatives.

It's just that the royal family represents a country, so the royal mausoleum sacrifice has also become an important part of a national sacrifice system.

The imperial mausoleum sacrifices of the Ming Dynasty are divided into big sacrifices and small sacrifices.

If it was a big sacrifice, the process would be much more cumbersome. The emperor would have to be present in person, and officials from the Ministry of Rites, Taichang Temple, Hanlin Academy, Guanglu Temple, Honglu Temple, Qintianjian and other departments would also have to be present to participate in the ceremony.

At the same time, a large number of guards must be used, such as Jinyi Guards and Ling Guards.

In short, the grand ceremony is grand and the expenses are naturally not small.

The scale of small sacrifices is much smaller. The emperor usually does not go there in person, but often sends princes, princes or officials to offer sacrifices on their behalf to express his grief.

This time it was a small ceremony, and the ceremony ended that afternoon.

According to the itinerary, we will return to Beijing the next morning.

That night, the moon was still bright and the stars were sparse.

"Cheer up and don't let down your guard!"

Ding Xiu made a routine inspection and gave instructions to his men from time to time.

Unknowingly, I walked outside the palace courtyard again.

The night was long, and I wonder if Empress Zhang couldn't sleep and was walking in the courtyard again?

Ding Xiu couldn't help but walked to the door of the courtyard and took a look quietly... No one was there!
A little disappointed.

Speaking of which, walking and chatting alone with Empress Zhang, even if you do nothing, just listen to her voice and smell the orchid-like fragrance on her body, is not a pleasure.

And the psychological feeling is not comparable to that of ordinary women. After all, she is the former empress and the wife of the current emperor.

Just as his thoughts were swirling, suddenly, an arrow shot through the night sky and soared into the sky. The direction he looked at was where Wen Zhiyuan and others were resting.

Ding Xiu couldn't help but look shocked, and immediately drew his sword in his hand.

This is a special horn for Jin Yiwei. It is used to give warnings and mark directions in emergencies.

Is someone planning to assassinate Mr. Wen Ge?
At this time, several men hurried over.

"Master Qianhu, do we want to go over and provide support?"

Ding Xiu shook his head decisively: "No, Hong Qianhu and the others are guarding over there, and our duty is to protect the empress.

Li Si, go and wake up all the brothers and come over to guard the inner courtyard. You guys will come with me. "

"Master Qianhu, what's going on?"

As soon as they entered the inner courtyard, a young eunuch who was accompanying him hurried forward and asked.

Ding Xiu said solemnly: "The situation is not quite right. Please notify everyone immediately."

"My slave, go and report to your Majesty first." The young eunuch hurried to the bedroom where Queen Zhang was resting.

Soon after, more than a dozen eunuchs and palace ladies ran out of the room, looking panicked.

"Where is the empress?"

"Empress and Jin'er are still in the house..."

"I gonna go see."

Ding Xiu immediately strode towards the bedroom where Queen Zhang was resting.

Under normal circumstances, even Jin Yiwei, Wu Zhao and Wu Zhi cannot enter the rooms of the Queen and concubines at will.

But now that the situation is special, how can Ding Xiu care about the rules?
Once something happened to Queen Zhang, he couldn't hope to return to Beijing. He would be beheaded if he returned to Beijing, so he could only run away in advance.

"Miss, are you alright?"

"Is it General Ding? I'm fine."

"There may be assassins outside. For the safety of the empress, Wei Chen needs to come in and check if the room is safe."

After saying that, Ding Xiu stepped in.

It seemed that Queen Zhang had just gotten up and Jin'er was still arranging her hair and clothes.

"Mother, I'm offended..."

Ding Xiu said politely and quickly walked around the room.

Then he said to Queen Zhang: "Your Majesty, the others have gathered in the courtyard. If your Majesty doesn't want to go out, Wei Chen will be here to watch and ensure your safety."

Empress Zhang was able to keep her composure and asked calmly: "General, what's going on outside?"

"It's not clear yet. Hong Qianhu's side fired a trumpet arrow. It should be that an outsider was found to have broken in."

Hearing this, Queen Zhang couldn't help but frowned: "It can't be an assassin, right? There are so many guards here, and there are also mausoleum guards from the imperial mausoleum."

"It's hard to say. In short, for the safety of the empress, I will never take it lightly."

"call out!"

At this time, another trumpet arrow took off.

The trumpet arrow this time was different from last time. Ding Jian hurried to the window and took a look, his face became more solemn.

This horn represents danger.

Ding Xiu turned his head and said: "Mother, there are indeed assassins, and there are more than one or two."

If there were one or two assassins, wouldn't Hong Lin's so many guards become just a decoration?It must be an emergency.

But Ding Xiu had nothing to do, he had to stay here to protect Queen Zhang's safety.

"Ah?" Jin'er turned pale with fright and cried, "General, what should we do?"

"do not worry……"

Ding Xiu comforted Jin'er, then walked to the window and ordered his subordinates: "Everyone listen to the order and protect this hospital with all your strength.

Anyone who breaks into this hospital without permission will be killed without mercy! "

"Follow the order!"

All the men responded in unison.

"The people in the courtyard are divided into two groups. Find a safe place to take shelter first. Mr. Sun Qi will lead 20 people to disperse outside the dormitory and guard them strictly."

"Yes!"

After a while.

One of his men suddenly shouted: "There's something going on!"

As the words were still on his lips, a dense "whoosh" sound suddenly sounded in the yard.

"Crossbow arrows!"

"Hide!"

"Clang clang clang..."

In the courtyard, there were roars, the sound of weapons and crossbows clashing, and several screams.

A wave of crossbow arrows killed one of Ding Xiu's men on the spot, and four or five others were hit by arrows and injured.

Fortunately, the group selected by Ding Xiu were all elites, so they did not panic because of this. While looking for a place to hide, they also used crossbows to fight back.

Ding Xiu's face was livid with anger. He held the knife tightly in his hand and wanted to rush out and kill him.

He had already seen a dark shadow. Although the shadow passed by him, with Ding Xiu's eyesight, he could faintly identify it as another assassin from Qingyi Tower.

What do these haunting guys want to do?
If you are looking for him to avenge the last time, why do you need to take action at this time?And why did he take action first on the side where Hong Lin was on duty?

Is it...

A bold idea suddenly came into Ding Xiu's heart.

I'm afraid that Tsing Yi House has a subtle relationship with those eight profiteers. Tsing Yi House has lost its big benefactor. Is this a desperate move to get crazy revenge?

With this thought in mind, Ding Xiu immediately turned to Queen Zhang and said, "Madam, we can't stay in this hospital any longer. I don't know how many people are here.

Once they rush in, the place will be in chaos, and it will be difficult for the ministers to protect the empress. "

"What does the general mean?"

Ding Xiu replied: "Wei Chen will take some of his men to escort the empress and Jin'er out first. In short, we cannot fall into the enemy's encirclement, otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous."

After hearing what Ding Xiu said, Queen Zhang couldn't help but sigh and said with a wry smile: "It seems that this is the only way."

Jin'er quickly took a cloak and put it on Queen Zhang. Then she glanced at Ding Xiu and asked, "Is the general confident that he can lead the queen out?"

"It shouldn't be a big problem."
