I heard His Highness has supernatural powers
Chapter 69 1 Chess Determines Life and Death
Inside the Chunxiang Building, there is a lot of fun. -As one of the honorable families, Cheng Jia, the mansion at this time is full of turmoil.
It was dark, and it was time to go to bed.However, the study of the Patriarch of Cheng Mansion is still brightly lit, and the voice of a man can be heard from time to time.
In the room, an old man with white hair and beard sat on the upper seat, and below him sat three middle-aged men and a young man.That young man was the man in black who had returned from Qilin's anger and was called to be an adult.At this time, the man in black had regained his composure: "Grandpa, don't worry, everything is under the control of grandson."
It turned out that the man in black was the current head of the Cheng family——Cheng Zimo. Cheng Zimo was well-known as a young man, and he stood out among the eldest sons and grandchildren of the Cheng family.Appreciated by the old man of the Cheng family, he thought that he was much smarter than his father, Cheng Anyi, so he immediately took him from Cheng Anyi's side and raised him himself.Cheng Zimo also lived up to the expectations of the old man Cheng. He was hardworking and talented. After the age of 14, he shined in the Chinese examination.In addition, his family is already prominent. After entering the officialdom, he has a background and is proud of himself. However, in three years, he has been promoted from a fifth-level official to a second-level official. .
As the mother clan of Concubine Liang, Cheng Jia has always been secretly supporting Concubine Liang's son, the Second Prince, because he has been at odds with the Empress's mother clan, the Taiwei Party.This time the Luobei corruption case was exposed. In order to keep the minions who stayed in the capital, Cheng Jia bought Qilin in advance and let him take Xuanjing's life and destroy the evidence. Who knows that Xuanjing not only survived, but also found such a perfect According to the evidence, many officials who arranged for marriage were forced to resign. Although they were only low-level officials, they couldn't stand the crowd, and these people were carefully arranged and placed in special positions.Now, losing most of it, how can people not be angry?
Today, several people in power in the family and the family are analyzing this matter and the situation in the court, and determining the future direction.
The old man sitting on the top of the family said in a deep voice: "The situation is serious now, and our family has lost a lot this time. Zimo, you said that everything is under your control, but did you leave a later move?"
Cheng Zimo said calmly: "There is no follow-up move, but I think His Majesty's attitude is already very obvious. We have been seriously injured in the current battle. It is really inappropriate to confront the Taiwei and others openly at this time. Grandson's opinion Yes, it’s better for us to avoid the front for now and maintain a neutral attitude for the time being. We only need to watch the battle between Taiwei’s party and King Jing. His Highness King Jing now has His Majesty’s backing, and Luo Haoyu’s faction of Qing School supports him , and its strength should not be underestimated. Even the Taiwei party, which has power over the government and the public, cannot eradicate it in a short period of time."
The old man of the Cheng family stroked his long beard, pondered for a moment, and said, "You mean to let us sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and then take advantage of the fact that both of them are hurt, and then take advantage of the fisherman's profit?"
"good."
When the three of Cheng Zimo's parents heard the words, they all nodded in agreement.What Cheng Zimo said was right, it would be really unwise for them to fight against the Taiwei for the sake of face at this time.It's just that old man Cheng and the Taiwei have had a long-standing grudge, and it is really difficult for the old man to just stop and admit defeat to the Taiwei on the surface.
Sure enough, the old man of the married family sat quietly for a while with a sullen face.Still waved his sleeves and let a group of children and grandchildren go down, saying that he had to think about it again.
Cheng Zimo and his father and uncle looked at each other, and had no choice but to bow and leave.
Cheng Zimo, who returned to his room, immediately overturned the table in the room after seeing the waiter closed the door.Crackling, the porcelain plate on the table fell to the ground and shattered.His handsome facial features were twisted into a ball due to anger, looking a bit ferocious.The previous calm and calm pretense collapsed immediately after entering his private territory.
"Damn Qilin, damn Xuanjing!" Cheng Zi moaned angrily, with veins throbbing on his forehead.The personal attendant on the side was so frightened that he lowered his head and dared not say a word.
At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Who?!" Cheng Zimo turned his head and said with a gloomy face.
A waiter's trembling voice came from outside the door: "Young...Master, there is a letter from the palace."
Cheng Zimo calmed down, opened the door with a cold face, took out the letter from the waiter, and then immediately closed the door again. There was a loud "bang", which made the heart of the guard at the door tremble.
Inside the house, Cheng Zi opened the letter silently, and read it at a glance.After reading it, the anger on his face became even worse, and he cursed: "This idiot!" After finishing speaking, he crumpled the letter up and threw it on the ground.
It turned out that Concubine Liang sent the letter to Cheng Mansion overnight.Concubine Liang is Cheng Zimo's aunt and one of the four great concubines of the emperor. Even facing the head of the married family, she still maintains a condescending attitude.In the letter, in a domineering tone, he ordered Cheng Zimo to find a way to kill Xuanjing immediately, and asked Cheng Zimo why Xuanjing came back safe and sound when he clearly said that he would get rid of Xuanjing during this trip to Luobei.
Cheng Zimo was already angry, seeing this letter was like adding fuel to the fire.After scolding Concubine Liang and the useless second prince several times in my heart, I finally calmed down.However, just as he bent down to pick up the letter he threw out and was about to burn it, there was another knock on the door.
"Boom boom boom——"
This time, Cheng Zimo didn't even ask, and said directly, "Come in."
"Yes!" The outsider answered, pushed the door open and came in. Facing the mess in the room, the waiter shook his body and quickly lowered his head, "Young master, His Royal Highness King Jing sent someone to bring gifts and invitations."
"Oh?" Cheng Zimo took the greeting card from the waiter in doubt, looked carefully, and found that it said it was a greeting card, but only wrote simple polite words, did not specify the specific date of the visit, only said that he was free will come.
Cheng Zi silently squeezed the greeting card, his eyes darkened.Xuanjing, what does this mean?Is it a temptation or a provocation for them to get married, or he has found out that the buyer behind the unicorn is their married?For a moment, various guesses flashed through Cheng Zimo's mind.
This night was destined to be a sleepless night for the few people in power who got married.
Early the next morning, Cheng Zimo went to court with a tired face.He guessed all night, but he still couldn't figure out the intention of Xuan Jing in sending the greeting card.After spending the morning in a daze, when he was about to return home, a young eunuch blocked his way.
The little eunuch said respectfully: "My lord, the emperor has your honor."
Cheng Zimo was startled, thinking of Xuanjing's greeting card yesterday, he suddenly felt ominous in his heart.He bit the bullet and nodded, followed the little eunuch along the palace wall to the back garden.
The flowers are charming and colorful, and there is a refreshing fragrance floating in the air.It was a beautiful scene that made people feel refreshed and happy, but Cheng Zimo was not in the mood to appreciate it. Instead, when he saw the two people in the garden, he broke out in a cold sweat.
In the pavilion on the side of the garden, a group of eunuchs and court ladies were standing outside, serving the two players who were playing chess in the pavilion.One of them is the emperor, and the other is Xuanjing who sent him a greeting card last night!
"My minister sees Your Majesty, Your Highness King Jing." Cheng Zimo suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and bowed to the two of them.
The emperor smiled and raised his hand: "Get up."
"Yes." Cheng Zimo stood up, and the clothes behind him were soaked in cold sweat.He didn't know if Xuanjing had found out the evidence that Cheng's family had bought Qilin, or if he had given the evidence to the emperor.This made him feel as if a knife was hanging above his head at this moment, and the long string holding the knife was in Xuan Jing's hands, as long as Xuan Jing let go, his head would fall to the ground.
He raised his head quietly, but was facing Shang Xuanjing's smiling eyes.His heart skipped a beat in fright, and he lowered his eyes immediately.
Seeing that although Cheng Zimo tried to be calm, he was still calm in the eyes of outsiders.But his pale face and stiff stance had exposed his panicked heart at this moment.Xuan Jing looked away with a smile, and dropped a piece on the chessboard: "Father, I have accepted."
Bai Zi fell, and in just an instant, all the previous disadvantages were reversed, turning defeat into victory.
The emperor was full of admiration and admiration: "Wonderful! Wonderful!" Perhaps because he was too excited, the emperor suddenly coughed violently again. Delivery bottle for medicine bottle.
Xuan Jing at the side immediately thought of what the emperor said to him on the sedan chair, and his doubts became heavier.Meanwhile, Cheng Zimo took advantage of the small commotion and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.At least, at this time, everyone's attention was on the emperor, not on himself.He only thought that the emperor was infected with a small cold, but he didn't notice the abnormality on the veil that covered his mouth when the emperor coughed.Although the emperor used a red veil, if you observe carefully, you will find that part of the red veil has become darker.
No one present noticed this small detail, only Xuan Jing who had been paying attention to the veil saw it.
Due to the emperor's sudden wind and cold, the chess game had to be hastily ended.The emperor took a group of eunuchs and maids back to the palace to recuperate, and before leaving, he did not forget to ask Cheng Zimo to continue playing the unfinished chess game on behalf of himself and Xuan Jing.Cheng Zimo had no choice but to smirk and agree.
After the emperor left, two leading eunuchs remained outside the pavilion, while inside the pavilion there were only Xuan Jing and Cheng Zimo sitting facing each other.
Xuan Jing smiled and raised his hand: "Master Cheng, please."
Cheng Zimo was about to respond, but saw a small piece of paper falling out of Xuanjing's sleeve, rolling down the chessboard and falling in front of him.He raised his head instantly and looked at Xuanjing.Seeing Xuan Jing smiling and looking at him without speaking, the uneasiness that had been suppressed before reappeared.He picked up the note calmly, looked to the side out of the corner of his eye, saw the two little eunuchs with their backs to him, and then unfolded the note.When he saw the content on the note, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.
It is not appropriate to say that the note is a note, it should be said to be the rubbings of the two letters.And only the signer of the letter and the letter and his family seal were rubbed.It was a letter between himself and Wang Chengyang, and one of the seals, as the person in charge of the married family, he would not admit it wrong, it was the unique seal of the family head of the married family!
Xuan Jing saw Cheng Zimo's complexion changed drastically, and the corners of his lips curled up, and he said slowly: "Master Cheng, you should think about it before you make a move, after all... there is no regret in making a move, life and death are determined by one move."
It was dark, and it was time to go to bed.However, the study of the Patriarch of Cheng Mansion is still brightly lit, and the voice of a man can be heard from time to time.
