Chapter 245: Asking to See

Shangjing Restaurant

Xie Chengdong went up, and the boss saw that he was busy greeting: "It's so cold, man, it's hot wine, are you going upstairs to eat?"

Xie Chengdong went upstairs without saying a word, these three private seats were separated by screens, and there was a table of six people who were ordering to eat and drink, and everyone was a little drunk. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xie Chengdong sat at a table by the window and ordered a few dishes at random, but there was a Taoist priest wearing Taoist clothes and holding his bun, pushing people to make a life.

A scholar smiled: "I am a protΓ©gΓ© of a saint, and I don't believe in this." ”

The man said in a serious manner: "You have been smart since you were a child, but you lost your mother when you were seven years old, and your stepmother instigated your father not to allow you to study, and you fled to your uncle's house. ”

"Your uncle paid for you to go to school, in the first year of the founding of this dynasty, you were admitted to Xiucai at the age of seventeen, teaching and reading for a living, but you only won the juren last year, so you went to Beijing to take the exam - what I said is a word fallacious?"

"Are you convinced? You are blessed, the tribulation is still to come, and it will be difficult to enter the Jinshi for a lifetime, if you are willing to enter my Daomen, I will remove the misfortune for you. ”

The scholar sneered: "I am a lifter, even if I can't be lifted in my life, I don't have to worry about food and clothing, if I am willing to go out, there is also a nine-grade scholar, how can you confuse me?"

The Taoist sighed: "Fate is changeable, and it is too late to regret it." ”

As he spoke, he paced over, arrived in front of Xie Chengdong, and looked at King Lu's mansion.

"How?" Xie Chengdong whispered.

"Prince Lu cut it and became the king of the county, the original number of qi was cut into a few parts, but the black gas dissipated, this catastrophe is in the past, although there are still some, but this is not at all. ”

"The prince's qi is stable, he has an opinion about us, and it is difficult to turn around, and we heard the news in the eyes of the Daolu Division that the prince is already going to investigate us. ”

"If we don't plot again, our foundation in the capital will be uprooted. ”

"Senior Brother Xie, you are a person sent by the Mountain Sect, you can think of a way. At this time, the Taoist priest had the demeanor of the fortune teller just now, and cold sweat oozed out.

"Don't be afraid, I have my own clever plan, you contact King Xialu, I want to see you. Xie Chengdong said lightly.

King Lu's Mansion

When Steward Qing looked at it, several people took the account book and checked the account in the hall, and some people were uneasy, sneered, and took out a piece of paper and gave it to one person: "Look at this." ”

When the man took it, it was densely packed with names.

"These are all famous Qing guests in the house," the man gasped and asked, "Do you want to leave?"

Steward Qing sneered: "That's right, it's this kind of ungrateful lord, usually attentive, and when he encounters a little wind and frost, he is immediately scared, according to my mind, how easy do you want to go?"

"We also have to keep an eye on it, and don't let them sneak up on the house - especially the storeroom. ”

"Yes!" the man replied.

Steward Qing glanced at it a few times, and then went hatefully, and when he saw him walking away, a Qingke raised his head and wanted to drink tea, but found that the tea was empty, and no one was on it, so he couldn't help sighing.

The sun rose today, and the hearts of the people in the Kelu Palace's mansion were scattered and cold.

The maids who sold their bodies, the eunuchs assigned by the palace could not leave this palace, they were all worried, holding the purchases of the purchases, and the silver sent home was the silver.

The prince has become the king of the county, who is not worried, the heart of the Qingke strategists is also scattered, on the day of the incident, there are several people outside, and they have fled at the moment and have not returned home, and some Qingke are directly packing up their things and preparing to resign immediately.

Only half of them are still working, but they are ready to quit when they are done.

A Qingke saw that there was no one around, and complained: "Originally, we were still laughing at Ren Wei, but I didn't expect him to have a vision and leave early, it is said that he is now the gentleman of Pei Xie Yuan in Yingzhou, who is in charge of the accounts, and does not know how to moisturize. ”

"King Lu treats us kindly, let's go, don't say it, it's unkind and unjust, how can you say bad things about the owner. A scavenger persuaded.

"Alright, alright, don't talk about it, don't talk about it. Qingke's face was also a little gloomy.

In the past, when King Lu's Mansion pressed the Prince's Mansion, it was glorious, King Lu became the king of the county, and he was still talking about the position of the prince, but he was still at ease, and he couldn't turn the sky, thinking like this, his helpless expression floated.

den

This study is very chic, you can see the artificial lake not far away, the underground fire dragon is through the smoke cage, at this time the fire is lit, the smoke cage is slowly dissipated from the floor, the end is warm like spring, which cost four thousand taels of silver, not only the palace, but also the palace and the imperial garden.

At this time, King Lu's face was pale, and he was practicing calligraphy in the study, with some solemnity in his eyes, to say that he was not angry was a lie, but now he could only use the way of practicing words to vent the anger in his heart.

"Flat World"

The whole article is full of such handwriting, some shaking, some strength, and some of the words are scattered.

Steward Qing hurriedly came: "Lord, it's not good, there are a few more Qing guests in the mansion who are clamoring to leave, and several of them have secretly left." ”

King Lu's words were pressed, a word was painted, he held it in his heart, his face turned red, he simply put down the pen, paced a few steps, hesitated for a while, and then sneered: "Let's go, let's go, it's okay to go, it's true or false, it's all innocent." ”

Saying this, with some loneliness, do you really have a comeback?

At this time, a Liao Gonggong asked to see him, and King Lu was bored and said, "Come in." ”

Saying that, he took a sip of tea from the teacup on the table, and Father-in-law Liao entered, stepped forward and whispered: "Lord, the situation is out." ”

"Say, I'm listening. At this time, King Lu calmed down, leaned on the tiger skin chair, looked out, looked very young, there was no wrinkle on his face, and restored the majesty of the imperial nobles in his gestures.

"A letter came from the inner court, and Ge Yun wrote a book, saying that since the prince is already the king of the county, there are thirteen Zhuangzi that are too arrogant, please cut the Zhuangzi. ”

Ge Yun is a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, and a scholar of Wenhua Palace, he is usually very polite, but he doesn't want to fight back at this time, King Lu couldn't help but blush, his blood was full of blood, he got up and paced a few steps, staring at the artificial lake, before he barely calmed down and said, "What did the emperor say, what did the prince say?"

"The emperor did not send it to him, but the prince said--This responsibility is not my brother, my father can wipe it with a small brush, how can he really take my brother's Zhuangzi and shorten my brother's food and clothing? ”

Hearing this, King Lu was not happy and angry, his eyes couldn't help but redden, and he scolded: "When, the prince is so cunning, what does my father say?"

"The emperor said that there must still be rules, so let's subtract two. ”

King Lu smiled and asked, "If that's the case, which two?"

"Black Wind Village and Shunyi Village. ”

These two Zhuangzi are both big villages, worth 150,000 pieces of silver, and they can also be 10,000 taels a year, and they are gone all of a sudden, and King Lu asked again: "What else?"

"There is also Chen Hu who has been killed, Li Anjun and Lu Shengci died, and it was done yesterday. ”

Hearing this news, King Lu was not too moved just now, and he couldn't help but feel dizzy at this time, these three generals are all his core wings, and now they are all dead.

King Lu stood up slowly and said, "What else?"

"The emperor has adjusted the generals of the camps in the capital - the list is here. ”

King Lu took it and looked at it, and turned his face for a long time, his eyes glowed with green light, but his tone was serene: "If you are approaching step by stepβ€”what else?"

"The ministers have also written books, and there are many impeachments of the prince, and the list is here. ”

King Lu took it, glanced at it, threw it on the table, and said, "These orphans have expected it, they are the rudder of the wind - is there anything else?"

"No-oh no, the imperial court received a military report, the cavalry on the grassland has attacked the camp, and has been repulsed, we have not seen the specific excerpts, but it is roughly said that more than 200 people have died, and the camp is short of food and grass, and asked for reinforcements. ”

This was a trivial matter, but King Lu listened attentively, and after a while, asked, "Is there anything else?"

"Lord Wang, except for Xie Chengdong asking to see, there is really nothing else. ”

"Xie Chengdong asks to see?" King Lu was surprised: "Qi Xuanmen and Xie Chengdong, they still haven't left?"

"I remember you told me that on the night of the accident, Xie Chengdong went out under the pretext of going out - I don't believe it was a coincidence, this group of Taoists!"

After a moment of silence, he said to Gonggong Liao: "Xuan He came in from the secret passage, I want to see what he has in mind when he comes to see Gu." ”

"Yes!" replied Father-in-law Liao.

However, although he was interviewed, he still waited for a few days before Gonggong Liao found an opportunity to meet Xie Chengdong, and led him to Yifu when it was dark.

This mansion is a set of ordinary courtyards, located in the northwest outside the palace, is a century-old courtyard, visitors are very rare, located in the remote, inconspicuous.

The group entered the backyard and arrived at a wing room, which is a study, but the shelves are a little old, there are not many books, there are inkstones on the table, Xie Chengdong looked at the lamp and shadow, and saw that the bookshelf was twisted, and the tunnel was exposed.

"When the prince built the mansion, he ordered someone to build it!"

"Now the soldiers stationed outside have not withdrawn, although it is not difficult to enter and exit, nor is it prohibited, but there is a record of staring, you are a Taoist, your actions must be secret, and you can't let Your Majesty know, or you may cause trouble, now please be aggrieved and follow the secret passage to enter. Father-in-law Liao only said this, Xie Chengdong knew that he had already had a knot in his heart when he went out that night, so he smiled immediately: "Wang Yeguo is far-sighted." ”

As he spoke, he was silent, the tunnel was actually not long, so he crossed a street, and in a blink of an eye, he came out of a rockery, and led him in.

It's a little cold in winter, with a kind of gloom, but Luwang's Mansion is particularly cold, and Gonggong Liao waved his hand and said, "Please!"

Xie Chengdong also nodded and followed, a cold wind blew in, and the empty garden trees swayed, causing Xie Chengdong to shiver and rush to a door.

A eunuch greeted him, saluted, smiled and led the way, and walked along the corridor to the study, where several eunuchs stood under the lamp.

At this time, King Lu was looking in the mirror and found that he had not taken care of it for several days, so he couldn't help sighing and ordered: "Come on, change clothes"

The two maids outside the door came in after listening to King Lu's words, first bowed their knees, and then groomed and changed clothes for King Lu, and shaved off their beards.

In fact, in ancient times, it was not completely without haircuts, not to mention anything else, the palace has a "grate head room", with more than ten attendants, who are responsible for inviting hair, hair retention, bagging, and plastic surgery for the emperor's children.

At this time, King Lu changed his clothes, cleaned up his beard, looked very energetic, and sat upright in the study, and at this moment, a shout: "Lord, Xie Chengdong asks to see." ”

"Come in!" King Lu said lightly.
