Ping An Biography

.

A few days after spn, a thirty-forty-year-old mistress came to Wuchang City. She was Zhou Mengxiong's "old concubine". After getting old and fading, he seldom serves bedtime, but he still deserves to be a reliable member of the Zhou family.

The "woman" went directly to the Chu Palace to look for Mrs. Zhou, but the guards at the Wangjing Gate didn't know this "woman". After asking, they sent someone into the palace to inform Mrs. Zhou (the second mother), and waited for Mrs. Zhou's girl to come out to confirm her identity. After that, he was allowed to enter the palace... But even if the person was recognized, he still had to be searched because he was not one of his own people who often went in and out of the palace of Chu.Since the "accidental fire" last time, the defense of the palace has become more stringent.

When searching for a woman's body, it is natural for a woman to come forward.The "woman" kept saying, "It's really embarrassing to take off my clothes in front of people when I'm old." The girl who searched the body laughed.

When the little lady searched her body, she had to ask about her identity, surname, age and other information again, and then described and recorded her appearance, etc. When she heard the woman herself said that she was only in her 30s, the little lady couldn't help but say: "You can't Fu Lao, our Mrs. Yao is about as expensive as you, but a teenage girl dare not compare with her."

"Nobles are different." The woman said.She was lucky, fortunately, Master Zhou Mengxiong didn't ask her to bring the letter before coming here, but just asked her to dictate to Mother Tuesday; otherwise, what would not be found after such a body search? [

But this errand is not dangerous at all. When Zhou Er's mother was in Changde Mansion, she often went back to her natal family by herself, and she had to hide her contacts with her family.That's why Zhou Mengxiong asked this concubine to go directly to Chu Palace to meet Tuesday's mother.

Later, it was indeed revealed that no one in the Zhou family paid attention to Erniang when they saw Erniang.

Ten days later, one day, on Tuesday Niang was watching a song and dance at Yao Ji's place, Gu Chunhan made up a dance for himself and tried it out, all the noble ladies in the palace were enjoying it together.The atmosphere was very good, and the rich courtyard and the palace room were full of laughter. During the conversation, Yao Ji jokingly asked Zhou Zhou Niang: "How am I treating you?" As good as dear."

Yao Ji answered with a smile and said, "I'm glad that Er Niang said that, but there are still some differences, don't you think so?" Zhou Niang asked, "What's the difference?" Yao Ji smiled and didn't answer.

Tuesday Niang pretended to think, and after a while she said next to Yao Ji: "I think of something and want to tell Madam."

Seeing her serious expression, Yao Ji immediately left the hall with her hands and went inside to talk.Mother on Tuesday took the opportunity to tell the place where Lord Jianwen used to live in seclusion, and said, "The last time my wife asked me about this matter, I didn't tell you, and I felt bad for a long time. It's just that my father told me before that other ministers would not Talking about this matter, our family shouldn’t talk too much... I was talking to Madam just now, and I remembered this matter, the Emperor is already in the palace, so I don’t count as violating my father’s order, Madam said, right?”

Yao Ji nodded, and said a few words of praise.

But Zhou Yiniang suddenly revealed this secret, which made Yao Ji a little confused... If Zhou Yiniang was sincere and would rather tell herself the secret on the verge of disobeying her father's order, then this little lady is really good; It's just that the timing wasn't right, Yao Ji might be able to investigate that place by herself now, and if Mother on Tuesday said it, the value would be greatly reduced.

Could it be the Zhou family's scheme?Exchange a secret that has lost its value for an emotional bargaining chip?

Soon Yao Ji realized that this "secret" was still very valuable. If she could find a place to capture Empress Ma before Prince Wenkui returned, then Wenkui would lose its value and could be secretly assassinated halfway. ...The prince disappeared after the defeat, compared to killing people in the Taoist temple where Jianwen lived, or persecuting the prince after his whereabouts came into the sight of the survivors, the side effects were much smaller, and the impact was not great.

Yao Ji didn't have any grudges against the prince Zhu Wenkui, but she felt that Zhang Ning's "brother" was bad for his future, and he was the son of Empress Ma, so it was better to be dead than alive.

Immediately, Yao Ji left the courtyard where she was dancing and having fun, and returned to the center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.She ordered Chunmei, the constant attendant, to immediately send the white-clothed swordsman to the designated place to investigate secretly, and if she found Empress Ma, she would arrest her; after confirming that she was right behind her, she would automatically activate the second order, and send the white-clothed swordsman to track down the prince. Zhu Wenkui's whereabouts killed him and everyone around him.

Chunmei solemnly repeated the order, and then asked: "There are two people around the prince who are our spies, but they are only members of the sub-altar faction, not important roles... Madam ordered to kill them all, including Are they?"

"Why did the spies kill them? If you didn't remind me, I didn't pay attention to the rules." Yao Ji said.

Chunmei said: "The prince was killed after the defeat of the army, but it was related to us, everyone should think so. If the two spies survived, they must know who killed the prince."

"If you understand it, you understand it. What's the point? Even if someone is suspicious, what evidence is there?" Yao Ji smiled with a common chill, "I learned a truth from Ning'er. Yes, otherwise in the future everyone will be worried that one of their own people may stab a knife in the back, and the atmosphere will be bad."

Chunmei hurriedly said, "Yes, madam taught you the right thing."

After explaining this matter, Yao Ji asked Xiaoyue to make a cup of Hundred Flowers Tea, and then sat alone in front of her, thinking about the Zhou family's thoughts.If Zhou Mengxiong or Erniang reported the news out of scheming, wouldn't that have killed the prince Zhu Wenkui in disguise?If there is no informant from their family, Yao Ji is not willing to get rid of the prince halfway. Perhaps due to the pressure of public opinion from Jianwen's survivors, the prince can live longer... He is always the blood of the Zhu family and cannot be persecuted openly at will.

Since it can be considered that the Zhou family was an accomplice in the killing of the prince, thinking about it further, they intend to use this incident to express their separation from Emperor Jianwen and their desire to seek refuge? [

Everything can only be guessed and pondered.The human heart is like a needle under the sea. As long as he is not a criminal, he cannot use various evidences to interrogate the real side, but can only guess and speculate...

……

Zhu Wenkui and several others have already crossed Wugong Mountain and entered the Huguang territory from Jiangxi.But they are located in the south of Huguang, and the prefectures and counties south of Hengshan Mountain have not yet surrendered to the King of Xiang's forces. Presumably, the King of Hunan's power is getting stronger and stronger, and in fact they don't even occupy a single province.Not only are there two prefectures in the south that have not surrendered, but the deep mountains and old forests in Baojingzhou in the west where ethnic minorities live together may not be easy to occupy.

Wen Kui was going back to Empress Ma, and he was going to pass through Baojing Prefecture. After passing the territory controlled by the chieftain, he entered the Chief Secretary of Guizhou, and he was not far away.

He was very depressed at this time. He came out of Guizhou and wanted to do something big. Unexpectedly, he was completely wiped out by a group of local troops just a few months later.I can't go to other places, it's too dangerous, the government may catch the living and follow the clues to find out the strongholds for smuggling salt and seafood, I think it's better to go back to Queen Ma first.

People question themselves when they fail, and Zhu Wenkui is no exception.His ambition has cooled down, and when he is disheartened, he will think that King Xiang is his own younger brother. If he can tolerate him, he is actually a good feudal prince... But can Wenbiao tolerate himself?It seems that the queen and Wenbiao's biological mother, Yao Ji, have a deep grudge.

Along the way, Minister Song He and others were very wary of the accompanying artisans, and secretly sent people to follow them, and would kill them if they found any abnormalities. Unexpectedly, the artisans were very disciplined.One day Song He said again: "That craftsman may be a meticulous worker, but he's not one of us anyway, so it's best to get rid of it."

But Zhu Wenkui said: "Just keep an eye on him. There are always people around him, what else can he do?" Why keep this craftsman?Zhu Wenkui vaguely found the reason. He really wanted to learn more about the mysteries of firearms from this craftsman in the future when he lived on a daily basis. His younger brother Wenbiao achieved success through firearms.

One day they were walking with their horses on a rugged path in the forest, which was sparsely populated, but they saw a young woman walking towards them, which was very strange.Everyone became a little nervous, and Zhu Wenkui suddenly had a thought whether he might have met a fox demon... In this kind of mountain forest, no one is seen. It is really inappropriate for a single young woman to come here Common sense is suspicious.

The road was too narrow, and the "woman" would not give way when she approached, so the procession stopped.Later Zhu Wenkui asked, "What's your job, little lady?"

"Looking for someone." The woman in green cloth with a bamboo hat said coldly.

"Looking for someone?" Wen Kui and another man repeated in unison, looking at her suspiciously and nervously.But this "woman" was alone, and everyone couldn't be afraid.

The woman unhurriedly reached into her collared coarse cloth clothes, and took out a delicate sign: "Who do you recognize?" Everyone looked at each other, and a man murmured: "This woman is so strange."

At this moment, suddenly a man in the team pointed at Zhu Wenkui and shouted: "He is the prince!" As soon as the words fell, the man rushed to the side of the road, tripped by a thorn and fell, and rolled on the spot into the grass.Immediately the craftsman who was standing back did the same, and suddenly jumped out and ran away.

The sudden sudden change made everyone nervous, and everyone drew their weapons one after another.After a while, Song He's brain was still bright, and he reacted and shouted: "Be careful, the person who ran away is a secret agent, and our whereabouts have been exposed!"

Everyone panicked, the man in front grabbed the back of the knife and raised his hand and was about to throw it at the woman, when suddenly there was a "swish" in the air, the man screamed in pain, and stuck a feather in his arm. Crossbow bolts and weapons also fell to the ground.After a while, the man spit out a mouthful of blood, stared and said: "Toxic!"

People turned their heads and looked around, but the woman in front was walking slowly, with a crossbow in her hand.Suddenly, there was a "squeak" and the branches shook. When everyone looked up, they saw a dark figure swinging from a rope to another tree.

For a moment, Wen Kui and others realized that they were in an ambush, and they retreated one after another, wanting to turn around and leave.At this moment, there was a ding-dong sound of a piano behind him.The sound of the piano was melodious, with a graceful and slightly sad tone, and then the sound of the flute also sounded.

The woman in front drew a shining long sword from her back and approached step by step.Finally, a man with a fierce face raised his knife and shouted to meet him, and without saying a word, he swept away with gravity.The woman's movements were slow, but at this moment she suddenly moved like a rabbit. She twisted her waist and leaned sideways to avoid the knife, but her movements were so violent that she threw off the bamboo hat on her head, and the black hair on her head floated up. The blade only touched a strand of black silk, and it tilted with a "chuck", and the fast blade cut off three or two strands of black silk, and then fell down in the air.

There was a flash of cold light, the man didn't see the woman's movements clearly, she drew the sword very quickly, and the point of the sword pierced his neck all at once.For a moment, he didn't feel any pain, but only felt a little coolness on his body.

"One, two, three, four...five." The woman counted, "There are still five people left."

The other three men behind Zhu Wenkui suddenly ran into the woods, leaving only Wenkui and Song He looking at each other.As a literati, Song He didn't seem to intend to run away. [

After a while, three screams came from the woods one after another.Didn't see what happened, but there was great fear in the cry.

"The King of Xiang sent you here?" Song He stood there and asked seriously.

The "woman" had a look on her face, her eyes were a little hollow, she obviously had no intention of answering the question at all, let alone admired the bravery of this scholar-bureaucrat in the face of danger.After approaching Song He, she stabbed Song He to death without any hesitation, hitting the vital point in the left chest and killing him with one blow.Poor Song Hehan studied hard for 20 years, from the child birth examination, the county examination, the township examination, the general examination, the palace examination... all the way through to become a Jinshi, and then lived incognito for more than [-] years, full of knowledge... But he was killed all at once Dead, there is not even a little room for resistance.

The sword "Ding Dang" in Zhu Wenkui's hand fell to the ground. Looking around, there were only a few horses left and no one left.And those who are gone, use their lives to prove the fact that there is no way to escape.

Wen Kui didn't care about the general situation, and suddenly fell to his knees: "Female hero, spare your life! I will capture you without a fight, and it will be the same if you catch me alive... My brother will definitely not kill me, and I will give you a lot of gold, silver and jewels in return." The grace of not killing. Tell the emperor's brother, King Xiang, that I am no longer the crown prince...I will give him the prince...ah..." Wen Kui was startled when he found out that he had been slapped on the top of the head.

In an instant, he realized that his head was still there, but the bun was grabbed by the woman. The "woman" showed the same expression, swung the sword in her hand and slashed at Wen Kui's neck, wanting to take the head from a living person!

This woman didn't know what happened to her, and she became like this.Whether it's Song He's awe-inspiring righteousness, or the begging for mercy of the princes and nobles, they are all useless to her, as if they can't understand the words and deeds of human beings at all.

The dignified Emperor Jianwen's prince died in the corner of this barren mountain, quietly, without even a wave in this world.A crow was startled out of nowhere in the woods, and it flew away in a fright, its cry was like laughing... Was it mocking the power status in the world?

The "woman" squatted down silently, took a sword and slashed several times before cutting off the bones on Zhu Wenkui's neck, as if she was slaughtering some animal, the broken bones and flesh splashed all over the ground, her face And the clothes are also bloody.The eyes on the head in his hand were staring, as if he was dying.

Another woman grabbed the rope and jumped down from the tree step by step. Seeing the woman's face was covered with blood, she asked, "Ji Chou, are you alright?"

The "woman" called Ji Chou is not ugly at all, but her name just happens to be there.She raised her head and shook her head, and said, "The errand is done."

The woman who just came down from the tree blew a whistle, greeted her companions, and said, "Put this head in the ice and take it back later. The few of us have to deal with the aftermath. It's not okay to leave these dead bodies here, just leave traces." Unclean... Burning|The corpse is too difficult, just burn the clothes, and then peel off the skin for people to identify, dig a pit and bury it."

In a short while, seven or eight people came from the forest and the road, all of them were women. In order to keep it secret, they had to dig a hole by themselves to take care of the funeral.

... Several days before Zhu Wenkui's death, Empress Ma was arrested in a Taoist temple on the territory of the Chief Secretary of Guizhou. It was because of her arrest that others were ordered to set up a trap to ambush Zhu Wenkui and his party.

Yao Ji was very satisfied with what Chunmei was responsible for arranging, and it was appropriate to call this kind of thing Chunmei Gan; while another regular attendant, Xia Yu, was very knowledgeable in military and political affairs, but she couldn't do this kind of murder and looting. It is estimated that the courage is not enough.

After Yao Ji heard the secret report, she closed her eyes again and meditated, as if thinking about something.The wish of many years will be fulfilled, but at this time, there is no ecstasy, but it becomes quiet.Killing people is not a big deal. I have almost been killed many times before. When Zhang Ning was still in his infancy, he almost died. If you want to talk about right and wrong, what is wrong with a baby?
