Chapter 117: Companionship and Ignorance
After the dispersal of the dynasty, on Suzaku Street, a horse-drawn carriage was walking slowly. The old horse pulling the cart walked lightly and cautiously, as if he did not dare to disturb the owner of the car.
Inside the carriage, the atmosphere was depressing, and a man with a short beard who looked to be about thirty years old was sitting in the corner at the moment, his face was depressed, and he did not say a word.
Beside the man, there was another young man who could not look at the age of the weak crown, and when he saw that he was silent for a long time, he couldn't help but shout: "Eighteen brothers, eighteen brothers, ......"
The man slowly moved his head, glanced at the young man, and sighed, "It's a failure!"
"It's all that Xu Fan's harm!" The young man suddenly scolded viciously: "This damn old man, when is it not good to mention yì, and he is born to run out of bad things at such a critical juncture!"
"Is this all providence?" the man looked rather decadent.
"Bullshit's providence!" the young man scolded: "Today is the third brother's luck, let Xu Fan save him once." β
"But after today's events, there is no possibility of reconciliation between the father and the third brother! β
"But...... For today's situation, we used almost all the strength in our hands, and we were expecting to intensify the contradiction between our father and the third brother, so that my father could abolish the third brother's crown prince, but now we are ...... But it was mixed up by Xu Fan!"
"Twenty-first brother, you say...... This...... What a good thing that is!"
The man was at a loss and looked at the young man with a panicked face.
When the young man saw the man's unpromising appearance, he was greatly disdainful: "You still expect to be a prince like this?
Thinking like this in his heart, but after all, there is still the value of use, for this reason, the young man comforted him with kind words: "Okay, eighteen brothers, what we did today's affairs is secret, and the gang of officials under our subordinates have nothing to do with us on the surface, they are all old people under the third brother, and no one can find out that the third brother's behavior today is bewitched by us." β
"And relax! After today's incident, the third brother has completely broken with his father, although his father did not let Gao Lishi take the third brother on the spot today, but the dragon is irreversible! The father is angry today, and sooner or later it will come out, let's wait and see. β
"At that time, my father abolished the third brother, and the eighteenth brother became the prince, but I can't forget my younger brother and my help. β
When the man heard this, he was overjoyed again, and hurriedly smiled: "I can't forget it! I can't forget it! When the eighteenth brother becomes the emperor, he will definitely crown the twenty-first brother as the king side by side! You and I will share this great river and mountain at that time." β
Looking at the man's sincere appearance, the young man sneered in his heart: "You are still the king side by side! You have seen too many legends, right?
The carriage gradually moved forward, and it was not long before it reached the middle section of Suzaku Street, which is also the most lively and prosperous area in the city.
"Okay, Tianxianglou has arrived, eighteenth brother, junior brother will go first! Everyone is still waiting for me in the building!"
With that, the young man got out of the carriage with an ambiguous smile on his face and walked towards a tall building on the side of the street.
The little guy at the gate of the building saw this person and hurriedly greeted him: "Wang...... Wang ......"
"What kind of king is the king, his name is Li Gongzi!" the young man glared at the man.
"Yes, yes, Li Gongzi has arrived, sisters, come out to welcome guests!"
The little guy shouted, turned around and trotted into the building.
The young man left, the carriage continued to move forward, and the old man who was sitting outside entered the carriage at this moment, and said to the man with a smile: "This King Sheng is really interesting enough, he has not changed the court clothes on his body, he dares to swagger to visit the Qinglou, and I don't know how this brain grows." β
The man in the carriage, who was called "Eighteen Brothers" by the young man, raised his head at this moment, his face was solemn, his eyes were bright, how could he have the cowardly appearance of half a minute?
"Go and sue SΓΉ Feng Yinu, let the twenty-first brother fulfill his wish today!"
"Lord Wang, is this the net?" the old man was slightly surprised.
The man said calmly: "It's just a woman! β
When the old man heard this, his heart trembled, and he remembered something, but he immediately stopped, and hurriedly bowed down and replied, "Okay, the old slave will go and pass the word." β
"By the way, look at that woman, don't let her talk nonsense, my brother is still of some use, if she is bad, you know what to do. β
"The old slave will get it!"
After the man finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at YiqiΔ on the bustling street through the car window, with a deep sadness in his eyes. It was the same as when I was in the small building next to the yamen of the household department, looking at the grain shop diagonally opposite.
"Go and ask Wang Zhun, why didn't the right minister say a word at today's court meeting?"
"Okay!"
β¦β¦
At today's court meeting, there were ups and downs, and many major events took place. However, in these many major events, Li Linfu, who was supposed to be the most powerful in the DPRK and China, did not say a word from beginning to end.
Not only was the man curious, but Li Linfu's subordinates were also surprised by the boss's actions today.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, headed by Wang Jie, the left servant of the household department, several backbones of the Li Party jointly came to the right minister's mansion, intending to visit Li Linfu and ask for clarification.
When he arrived at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he saw that the door was locked, and just when Wang Ji wanted to step forward to inquire about the gatehouse, the side door on the side opened.
Seeing Qian Qianyi walking out, Wang Ji hurriedly greeted him: "Mr. Dongyang, ...... is Xiangye?"
"Lord Wang, my lords, Xiang Ye has been unwell recently and can't see guests, so please go back!" Qian Qianyi arched his hand.
"This ...... Mr. Dongyang, I don't hide it, today I really have something important to discuss with him, and I hope Mr. will give you a good word!"
Wang Ji didn't know why Li Linfu would close the door at this critical juncture, and even found an excuse for being sick, it is said that Li Linfu has done this step, Wang Ji should not be forced, but today's matter is really far-reaching, without Li Linfu as the leader to speak, the huge Li Party will be like a headless fly, in the next possible turmoil, such a state is very fatal!
Seeing this, Qian Qianyi took a few steps forward and whispered a few words in Wang Jie's ear.
Wang Jie's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then I will wait for this to retreat, and ask Xiangye to recuperate with peace of mind, and then the next official will send a few servants to send some supplements to Xiangye." β
After speaking, Wang Ji motioned for everyone to leave with him, and when he walked away, he whispered to everyone, thinking that he was telling Qian Qianyi's words to others.
Qian Qianyi watched in place, suddenly smiled, turned around and walked into the mansion, the side door was closed, and the front of the prime minister's mansion was extremely deserted.
Qian Qianyi came to Li Linfu's study in two turns, and Li Linfu, who was reading a book with a book, saw him come back and asked, "Are they all gone?"
"Let's go!" Qian Qianyi nodded.
"Let's go, now in this eventful autumn, it's better to be still, just look at people Xu Fan's good work, don't care about anything, and only care about managing state affairs, this is what a smart person should do!" Li Linfu said slowly while turning the pages of the book.
"The proprietor is right, the matter of the heavenly family, the most important thing is the inheritance of the throne, and now these sons of the saint can be regarded as having the true inheritance of the saint! One is more than the other can pretend, and the ability to hide is like bringing out of the mother's womb, even the younger one, in addition to being lustful, is not a fuel-efficient lamp. β
"It turned out that I could bear it, but this time it's okay, it's all jumped out, and now Chang'an City is going to be lively!"
Qian Qianyi said it easily, and there was a smile on his face, but his eyes were staring at Li Linfu without turning around, with a thick doubt in his eyes and a trace of worry.
Li Linfu still didn't put down the book in his hand, but he seemed to feel Qian Qianyi's gaze, so he asked, "What are you worried about?"
Qian Qianyi was stunned, hurriedly lowered his head, and replied: "Proprietor, the news from the south is coming, the strength of the Qian family was greatly damaged when the rebels were in turmoil, and the situation of the rest of the families is not much better......
"The scourge of war is fiercer than the tiger, and some losses are inevitable. Li Linfu said calmly.
"But...... The loss is small, but the key is that some people are restless now!"
"A few days ago, the secret guard said that several people were secretly contacting the rebels, and they didn't know what these people were trying to do. β
Qian Qianyi was worried, a while ago by the city of the ship, the power of Yangzhou maritime merchants has been weakened, and when Qian Xiaojing came to Beijing to ask for help, Li Linfu was a noncommittal attitude, since then, there has been a rumor in the south that the right minister is going to abandon them.
Qian Qianyi was about to do something to win the hearts of these people, but he didn't expect Yangzhou to fall suddenly.
Now, the attitudes of those families in the south have become ambiguous, and the secret spies sent out by Qian Qianyi have found out that several families are fornicating with the rebels. Qian Qianyi didn't dare to be self-conscious, so he could only report to Li Linfu.
Li Linfu put down the book in his hand and asked in a deep voice, "When did this happen?"
"I just got the news yesterday, and the little one knows that the proprietor is going to the court today, and he doesn't dare to distract the proprietor, so it's ......."
Qian Qianyi bowed his head and said.
Qian Qianyi didn't tell the truth, at least not all the truth, after getting the news last night, Qian Qianyi was shocked, but then he asked people to check again. said it for the sake of prudence, but in fact, he was afraid that the Qian family would also be involved. The last time Qian Xiaojing came to Beijing for help, Qian Qianyi had a cold attitude, but that was only for Qian Xiaojing, the Qian family is a big family in Jiangdong, and Qian Qianyi naturally has his own family.
After checking it out, it wasn't until this morning that Qian Qianyi was sure that the Qian family was not involved, so he came to report to Li Linfu.
Li Linfu deeply forgot about him, and then said: "It's okay, everyone will have their own ideas, it's nothing! But everyone is also responsible for their own choices, since they want to bet on both sides, then let them go!"
"Then this matter ......" Qian Qianyi couldn't see Li Linfu's gaze, and he didn't think much about Li Linfu's words.
"This matter ends here, Wang Zhongsi is a famous general, let him worry about these things!"
"The proprietor, in fact, the little one has never understood, why would the proprietor recommend Wang Zhonghei to be the chief of counterinsurgency?"
Looking at Qian Qianyi's puzzled look, Li Linfu smiled and said: "It is said that the tiger is safe when he is locked in a cage, but he doesn't know how to let him out, open his teeth and claws, and die faster......"
