Chapter 020: Abolish Him
The Xie brothers and sisters talked about the palace repair and the prince's errand arrangement for Xie Zhuo in the guest room of the Ma Yuan, but they did not notice that there was a person standing outside the west window behind the guest room eavesdropping.
The man outside the window listened for a moment and then turned away, but there was no movement under his feet.
Cheng Song refused the invitation of his friends to drink, and after a simple cleaning and tidying up in the horse garden, he changed into a silver and white round-necked robe and went to the Shengjing Teahouse in Beijing, he went straight to the second floor and entered a private room by the window to sit down.
"I heard that you won the bet on horses?" The young man who had been drinking tea in the private room for a long time picked up the teapot and personally poured a cup of fragrant tea for Cheng Song. "Congratulations. ”
Cheng Song glanced downstairs and said lightly, "What's there to congratulate on winning a twelve-year-old child?"
The young man in a moon-white brocade robe on the opposite side raised his eyebrows, "Gambling is gambling, only looking at the results of winning or losing, not who the opponent is." You Cheng Ziyu joined the army at the age of ten, and you have been in battle to kill the enemy at the age of twelve, why do you look down on a twelve-year-old child today?"
Cheng Song picked up the teacup and turned it in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Xie Zhuo shouldn't be the person the prince is looking for." ”
"Are you so sure?" Zhao Xi asked with a smile, "You and Xie Zhuo have only met twice." ”
"Two meetings are enough. Cheng Song drank the tea, hooked the corner of his mouth and raised his eyes to look at Zhao Xi opposite, his eyes were shining brightly!" You have known Xie Zhuo for more than ten years, can you see that he has the talent of a phoenix and the aura of descending dragons?"
Zhao Xi, the second son of Liang Wangyan, Xingsi, is sixteen years old this year. He and Princess Anyang's son and two daughters have known each other since childhood, and cousins and cousins often meet at various palace banquets and palace banquets, and they can also meet when they play in Beijing. In all fairness, Zhao Xi really didn't find any qualities related to the word "talent" in Xie Zhuo!
"Mr. Ke Ying's stargazing judgment has never been wrong. Zhao Xi frowned and said, "Last month, Mr. Ying watched the stars at night, and said that the children around the emperor star moved, and the father could move. At the beginning of the month, after divining a hexagram, he suddenly said that there were five ghost stars entering indiscriminately, and he was afraid that there was a change in the plan of the great cause, and gave a sixteen-character judgment of 'five ghosts entering indiscriminately, the sub-stars are unknown, the scorching sun is shooting, and the phoenix chicks descend to the dragon'. Isn't the sum of 'words and shots' the word thank you? 'scorching sun' corresponds to the sun, which is 'Anyang'......"
"The analysis of the next sixteen-character judgment is not what Mr. Ying said, right?" Cheng Song raised his eyebrows.
"......" Zhao Xi was silent.
The analysis of the sixteen-character judgment is indeed not what Mr. Ying said, but the unified words reached by the strategists of the Liang Wangfu after pondering for three days and four nights. As for why Mr. Ying didn't give an analysis, because after he made out this hexagram and gave the sixteen-character judgment, he spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell unconscious! King Liang invited all over the famous doctors to treat Mr. Ying, but he only kept his life alive, but he couldn't save people in any way!
"There are many nobles and officials surnamed Xie in Beijing, and there are even more people surnamed Xie in Dawei! Where these five ghost stars are, I really can't say. Cheng Song took the teapot and poured himself another cup, "Instead of being bound by a few words from the master and not daring to look for people everywhere, it is better to find out who these five ghosts are while doing things, find him and kill him directly!"
Cheng Song's word "kill" revealed a strong killing intent, but when he said these bloody words, he smiled, like a bloodthirsty handsome Shura in hell!
Zhao Xi listened and nodded, "What you said also makes sense." I mentioned it to my father when I went back, but Xie Zhuo ......"
Cheng Song raised his hand to stop Zhao Zhuo from speaking, and he looked at the door of the private room with bright eyes.
Zhao Xi's heart tightened, and his hand pressed on the dagger hanging from his waist.
There was a knock on the door of the private room.
"Master, it's the second master of Song. Zhao Xi's people outside the private room reported in a low voice.
Zhao Xi breathed a sigh of relief and put down his hand.
"Let him in. Zhao Xi said.
The door of the private room was pushed open, and a man wearing a dark blue slanted robe with a wide belt around his waist walked in, clasped his fists at Zhao Xi and Cheng Song and bowed his head, "The little one has seen Fourth Master Xi." ”
"Hmm. Zhao Xi looked at Cheng Song. He recognized this person as one of Cheng Song's attendants, and he must have something to report when he came in to disturb.
"Say it. Cheng Song looked at the attendant and said lightly.
The attendant truthfully reported to the master what the Xie brothers and sisters he had overheard outside the Ma Yuan guest room.
Cheng Song pinched the teacup and listened carefully to the attendant's report, and after hearing Xie Fuya beat Luo Changshou and said such a theory of life and death, he lowered his eyes, hooked his lips and smiled.
After the attendant finished his report, he withdrew from the private room with his fists clenched.
"Cousin Fuya also went to Ma Yuan?" Zhao Xi frowned.
The person sent by Zhao Xi to Ma Yuan did not report Xie Fuya's appearance to him, and he probably felt that it was not important.
Cheng Song drank the second cup of tea and chuckled: "If Xie Zhuo, a man who has no ambitions and no learning skills, will be a Five Ghost Star, then wouldn't his sister, who knows more than ordinary men, be a fierce star?"
Zhao Xi also shook his head and smiled: "Cousin Fuya has been weak since she was a child, and when she was six or seven years old, she was pushed into the water by mistake because of Xie Zhuo's naughtiness, and she almost died. Since then, Xie Zhuo has let and spoiled this sister everywhere, and if Cousin Fuya says that the moon in the sky is square, he will also echo it. ”
Cheng Song remembered Xie Fuya's delicate feminine aura that appeared in Ma Yuan in a simple outfit and exuded all over her body, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled, "I heard that Xie Zhuo's younger sister is married to the second master of Chengyi Bofu? What kind of character is Second Master Cai?"
Chengyibo's Mansion is just an inconspicuous noble family in Beijing, and his descendant Meng Zuyin holds some petty official positions, and he has no power in the court for a long time. So Zhao Xi doesn't know much about the Cai family.
"I'm afraid I can't talk about the characters. Zhao Xi didn't care too much, "Aunt Anyang couldn't bear to let her youngest daughter be wronged in the powerful family, so she found an ordinary noble family to marry Cousin Fuya. It's not a great person, otherwise I wouldn't have heard of it. ”
Cheng Song heard a little sourness and disdain from Zhao Xi's tone, and couldn't help but stare at him with a little more smile in his eyes.
Zhao Xi saw the smile in Cheng Song's eyes, and snorted lightly in shame and turned his head to look out the window.
Cheng Song laughed out loud, Zhao Xicai at this time was like a sixteen-year-old boy, not a son-in-law who pretended to be old and planned the imperial business for his father.
"Regardless of whether Xie Zhuo is a Five Ghost Star or not, Princess Anyang is the prince's own sister, and she, her husband, and children must be on the prince's side in the battle for the throne!" Cheng Song looked at the bustling people on the street downstairs, and said with a slightly heavy eye, "It's better to take advantage of the opportunity of Xie Zhuo to do things for the prince and directly abolish him!"
"Abolish Xie Zhuo?" Zhao Xi looked at Cheng Song in surprise, "What do you mean......"
Cheng Song retracted his gaze and faced Zhao Xi, "Let him make a big mistake and become a person who is disgusted by the emperor and the prince, and naturally he will not be an obstacle to the prince's rise in the future." ”
Zhao Xi thought for a while, "This method seems to be ...... Not bad. It's just that Xie Zhuo made a big mistake, and Aunt Anyang interceded for him later, I'm afraid I can't do anything to him. ”
Cheng Songxin's long and thin body leaned back on the back of the chair, and said lazily: "You strategists of Liang Wangfu should be very good at playing tricks and calculating, but I can't." ”
