Chapter 454: Lonely and Unheard
Lin Wan smiled and said, "When Brother Su left the capital last year, the emperor said that if he had traveled enough, he would be welcome to return to Beijing at any time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info didn't expect that the emperor still really wanted to use him, and as soon as he went back, he was left by the emperor's side. ”
Zhao Mingjin also nodded, and said with a smile: "The emperor has opened Enke every year in the past few years, just to select more young talents and collect them for his own use." It's a pity that the people he likes can't be kept. I heard that Su Gongzi is not only outstanding in writing, but also has excellent eloquence, which is highly valued by the emperor. ”
While he was talking, Xing Han pushed the door and walked in, his steps were relaxed, and he asked with a smile, "Are you talking about Master Su Ziran Su?"
Zhao Jing'er smiled and asked, "Akan, have you also seen Su Ziran?"
Xing Han walked to Zhao Jing'er and sat down, nodded, and replied: "On the eve of the scientific expedition, I participated in a poetry exchange meeting held by the three princes. ”
Zhao Jing'er's eyes lit up, and she blurted out: "Is Su Gongzi really as rumored, as Song Yu and as good as Pan An?"
Xing Han saw Zhao Jing'er's yearning face, her beautiful eyes lit up, she couldn't help frowning, and asked angrily, "Who did you listen to?"
Zhao Jing'er saw that Xing Han was angry, so she came to her senses, stuck out her tongue, smiled abruptly, and said, "It was Sister Biyun who said it, she said that Su Gongzi is perfect." ”
Xing Leng snorted, turned his face away, and said angrily: "That's because she is lonely and unheard, and she has never seen a beautiful man." ”
Lin Wan laughed out loud, then smiled again, nodded, and said seriously: "Yes, Sister Biyun must have never seen Brother Xing." ”
Zhao Jing'er covered her mouth and smiled, but Xing Han raised her eyebrows and said proudly: "Wan'er is still knowledgeable!"
Everyone laughed for a while before getting to the point.
Zhao Mingjin slowly asked, "Akan, you came back so soon, but what news did you find?"
Xing Han nodded, and said with a straight face: "This matter is a little tricky now. My father said that he interrogated several of General Ouyang's deputies today, and one of them, a deputy named Wang Gang, said that he had seen General Ouyang and several mysterious people in black with his own eyes, and they had close contacts. Another soldier also said that he had seen General Ouyang secretly fly pigeons at night to pass on books. ”
Lin Wan wrinkled her eyebrows and asked thoughtfully, "What is the origin of these two people? Who are some people in the family? Is it possible to be bribed or threatened?"
Xing Han shook his head and said, "I don't know for the time being, but I've already sent someone to investigate." ”
Zhao Mingjin nodded slightly, and then asked, "What is Lord Xing's attitude towards this matter?"
Xing Han thought for a while and said, "General Ouyang was single-handedly promoted by his father, and my father didn't believe that General Ouyang would do this. However, my father also felt that General Ouyang's behavior that day was really abnormal. In front of so many people, without real evidence, he dared to openly demand the inspection of military salaries and rations, and even started with General Liu on the street, and opened the seal of the household with a sword. ”
Lin Wan took a deep breath and said, "Sister Yufei did already know that there was a problem with the military salary and rations escorted by Liu Jinfeng, but we never expected that Liu Jinfeng would have such courage to change all the military salaries and rations. ”
Changfeng suddenly interjected: "By the way, there is a news that has just come from the capital, I don't know if it has anything to do with it." ”
Everyone turned their heads to look at Changfeng, waiting for his next step.
Changfeng looked puzzled, thought for a while, and said: "This news came from Ziran, he said that recently the second prince Zhou Tianming ran outside the city all day long, and it is rumored that he fell in love with a small village girl outside the city. But the imperial concubine Niangniang was unusual, not only did she help him hide it, but she even ran to the emperor to cry, saying that the second prince had been in love with Liu Fangyao since she was a child, and finally waited until Liu Fangyao grew up, but she only wanted to marry the prince, and the second prince was sad and disappointed, so she was confused and obsessed with the village girl for a while. ”
Lin Wan wrung his eyebrows and pondered, and said for a long time before he said, "This matter is indeed a bit strange. Zhou Tianming went outside the city, not because he was obsessed with some village girl, but because there was something that the emperor couldn't know, so he used this as a cover. There is another reason why the imperial concubine acted like this, that is, she did not want Liu Fangyao to marry the prince, but she couldn't disobey Prime Minister Liu's wishes, so she secretly stumbled Liu Fangyao in front of the emperor. ”
Changfeng nodded and said, "Zi Ran must also have this suspicion, so he let people pass on this news to us." What Zi Ran means is that Zhou Tianming has been going outside the city so frequently recently, could it be related to the other half's military salary and rations?"
Lin Wan thought about it and agreed: "I think Brother Su's guess is very likely. It was precisely because half of the military salary and military rations were deducted by Zhou Tianming that Zhou Tianhong did not get half of the benefits, so he also exchanged this half of the military salary and military rations. Therefore, there may be something else in this matter, and maybe even Liu Jinfeng has been kept in the dark about this matter. ”
Zhao Mingjin also nodded and said, "If this is the case, there is another possibility for this matter." You say, could this whole process be completely planned by Zhou Tianhong? And his ultimate goal is to plant all the charges of embezzlement of military salaries and rations on Zhou Tianming's head. ”
Xing Han slapped the table as if he suddenly realized, nodded and said, "What Brother Zhao said is very likely. My father said that Liu Jinfeng was also shocked when he saw that all the boxes were full of stones and all the sacks were full of weeds. In the face of General Ouyang's accusations, he couldn't say a word, and was almost escorted back by General Ouyang's sword around his neck. If Zhou Tianhong hadn't arrived in time, the charge would have been confirmed in public. ”
Lin Wanwan smiled and said slyly: "In that case, why don't we help Zhou Tianhong?"
Zhao Mingjin frowned and asked, "How do you say this?"
Lin Wan curled the corners of her mouth slightly, as if she was confident, and talked eloquently: "Zhou Tianhong wants to plant the crime on Zhou Tianming, we just need to push the boat down the river." Sooner or later, the two brothers will turn against each other, and the more fierce they are, the more leisurely we become. Liu Qingyuan chooses between the crown prince and the second prince, let's see, if the two of them are really incompatible, who will Liu Qingyuan help?"
Changfeng nodded and said, "What the little sister said is reasonable, but in my opinion, Liu Qingyuan will most likely help his grandson." ”
Lin Wan nodded with a smile and said, "I think so too." Although Zhou Tianhong is more likely to inherit the throne, it is also possible that he will eventually become his grandson-in-law. However, Liu Qingyuan, an old fox, must be able to see that Zhou Tianhong is not under his control. Although Zhou Tianming is not angry, it is his best choice. ”
Changfeng and Zhao Mingjin looked at Lin Wan with a smile and nodded slightly, indicating that the hero saw the same thing!
