Chapter 405: Fellow Practitioners

Next Chapter

After personally taking the robe handed by the little maid, Nian Xiang and Guan's mother washed and changed clothes for Liang Yong together, and after a while, Liang Yong also picked it up, and trotted towards the Lotus Pavilion in a hurry, throwing the people behind him out of a short distance.

"Sister, sister!"

And it was really before anyone arrived, the sound arrived first, Liang Cheng and Qingqi were still sitting in the house, but Liang Yong's voice had already come in from far away, and Liang Cheng couldn't cry or laugh when she heard it.

"My mother told me in the letter before, if I want to set the rules for Yong'er, but looking at the current situation, if my mother knows, I really have to be reprimanded. Liang Cheng said angrily and funny to the green cocoon next to her.

"The fourth master is only like this in front of the young lady, if there are outsiders, then who doesn't praise the fourth master for being sensible, the young lady is a little too strict with the fourth master, but the fourth master likes the young lady the most. "I wasn't polite to Liang Ming, Qingyu joked with a smile.

Liang Cheng was also amused after hearing this, and was about to say a few words, but a little person had already rushed in, holding Liang Cheng's waist and not letting go, "Sister!"

"Take your time, what are you running, it's such a hot day, look at your clothes are almost soaked with sweat, really. As soon as Liang Cheng hugged Liang Yong, he touched the clothes behind him, the weather was hot in summer, the robe was thin, and this one sweated a lot, and the clothes were easy to get wet.

Liang Yong is often tired of being by Liang Cheng's side, but wherever Liang Cheng is, he naturally prepares a lot of clothes for Liang Yong to wash and change, and when he wants to use it at this time, it is naturally very convenient.

Qingzhu went out to let people boil water, Nian Xiang followed up in the back room to give Liang Yong a hand, and after a while, Liang Cheng personally helped Liang Yong finish changing his clothes, and changed into a golden butterfly pattern robe with white silk light blue and dark flowers.

"Sister, let's go boating in the backyard. But the clothes have just been changed, and the little man has already taken Liang Cheng's hand and said coquettishly, thinking of going boating in the lotus pond, seeing that Liang Cheng shook her head, she reached out and tapped the smooth forehead.

This time the force was not big, but Liang Yong thought that Liang Cheng was not allowed.

At that moment, Liang Yong wanted to make persistent efforts to entangle his sister, but Qingyu next to him said with a smile: "Miss still understands the fourth master, so she sent someone to prepare it in the backyard early, and when we go over in a while, we will be able to go into the water." ”

"Sister, is it really?" Liang Yong immediately looked at Liang Cheng with joy, and asked with bright eyes.

"Really, really, let's go!" pulling the little person who held her tightly, Liang Cheng and his party went to the backyard after finishing it.

Although he could still hear the hustle and bustle of the front yard from time to time along the way, Liang Yong didn't mind much, at this time he wholeheartedly wanted Liang Cheng to go faster, go faster, and arrive at the lotus pond quickly.

It's just that the little tiger doesn't mind anymore, but Liang Cheng has been paying attention to the movement in front of her, and when she suddenly heard a loud noise from the front, Liang Cheng paused, and when Liang Yong turned her head strangely, she continued to lead him forward.

"Send someone to the front and have a look. ”

But just when Liang Yong wasn't paying attention, Liang Cheng turned her head and whispered to Nian Xiang.

At this time, a banquet was being held in Qinhe Villa, and several Jingshi officials led by His Royal Highness the Third Prince, who were all ordered by Emperor Cheng to escort the gold and silver utensils given to the old man Liang, and quietly arrived at Yingchuan all the way to Yingchuan.

Because of his special status, the third prince, Qi Yu, sat on the first seat in the center of the banquet with Old Man Liang at this time, while everyone else was on both sides.

Among them, Jiang Chao was deeply valued by Qi Yu, so he sat in the first position under Qi Yu at this time, and even ranked above the top officials of the fourth rank.

Old man Liang's current body is not allowed to drink, so the old steward Chengping personally poured a cup of white mist for him.

Old Man Liang raised his glass, glanced at Jiang Chao lightly, turned his head and smiled at the old steward of Chengping: "The Jiang family kid is really valued by the third prince, it seems that this is really not a random rumor by outsiders, right?"

The old steward of Chengping bent over to pour tea for the old man Liang, "As the old saying goes, the Tao is not the same, His Royal Highness the Third Prince and the Second Prince Jiang are indeed fellow people." ”

Old Man Liang didn't have a good impression of Jiang Chao, and the old steward of Chengping was naturally the same, and at this time, the two of them classified Jiang Chao and Qi Yu together in just a few words. The two old men were silent, and even Qi Yu, who was sitting next to Old Man Liang, didn't hear what they were saying, and his eyes were cast on an old bachelor who was talking in front of him, but Qi Yu's attention was all on Old Man Liang.

"Hey, why didn't His Royal Highness the Third Prince speak?"

Qi Yu was paying attention to the movements of Old Man Liang, but the others were all paying attention to his movements, and seeing that he didn't speak for a long time at this time, someone immediately asked cautiously.

"Isn't Mr. Zhang talking about the scriptures and history, I heard it when I was in a trance! No, I forgot to speak. ”

Although Qi Yu was shocked, he reacted very quickly, and said with a slight apologetic smile to the man.

"I have long heard that His Royal Highness the Third Prince is studious, and when I saw it today, it was true. The old bachelor was very happy to see Qi Yu cheering him like this, and immediately reciprocated and praised Qi Yu.

"The old bachelor praised it falsely. Qi Yu raised his glass, and everyone hurriedly raised their glasses in return, Old Man Liang smiled, and also took a sip of the tea cup in his hand.

"Old General Liang, thank you for today's banquet, Qi Yu is here to toast you. After Qi Yu filled the snail silver cup of the red gold title Nanzhu again, he suddenly raised his glass to Old Man Liang again.

"His Royal Highness the Third Prince is polite. In the envious eyes of everyone, Old Man Liang smiled in return, picked up the teacup and took another sip.

"Qi Yu is really grateful to the old general, but Qi Yu also has something to ask for, and I hope that the old general Liang will not hesitate to give advice. ”

"Don't dare to teach, His Royal Highness the Third Prince has something to ask, and the old man must know everything and say everything. Looking at Qi Yu, Old Man Liang smiled, and the momentum of all the armies was calm and unhurried, and Qi Yu's eyes were forced to avoid it at the moment.

"Then Qi Yu will thank the old general first. ”

It's just that no matter what, in front of so many Beijing officials, Qi Yu can't show weakness, so after a pause, Qi Yu smiled with a humble and gentlemanly smile: " Coincidentally, two days ago, when I was wandering around Yingchuan City with Zichao, I saw Chu Gu and Xu Zhao in the crowd, although I had heard that they had been ordered by the concubine and left Jian'an to come to Yingchuan, but I haven't seen him for so long, I thought it might be a miscommunication, but now it seems that the two of them are really in Yingchuan, but I don't know if the old general knows about it?"

The people who can sit here now are all Emperor Cheng's henchmen, and Chu Gu and Xu Zhao are also aware of the fact that Chu Gu and Xu Zhao were sent to Yingchuan by the concubine.

But if you know, no one would have thought that Qi Yu would ask this matter so arrogantly in front of Old Man Liang.

Emperor Cheng now has completely opposite opinions with Concubine Meng on the matter of Yingchuan.

But Old Man Liang is on that side, they don't believe that Qi Yu, the third prince of the current dynasty, will not know, but he is not shy about it at all?

At this time, shouldn't they all pretend to be stupid and stunned, and don't know about this matter at all? Even Emperor Cheng told them thousands of times before sending them out that they were not allowed to have any disputes with the concubine and her old man.

If they could, or even wanted them to avoid Chu Gu and Xu Zhao altogether, King Li would have spoken a long time ago, and this time he would take Concubine Meng back to the fiefdom to recuperate, and those in the know also know that Concubine Meng's old man's body is indeed not as good as before, especially after the war with Hou Shu and the sudden death of Emperor Wen, the concubine's spirit was particularly seriously consumed.

After all, not only did the beloved son pass away, but the white-haired man sent the black-haired man, after Emperor Wen suddenly died without warning, the court that was in turmoil was all dependent on Concubine Meng and her old man's house, which could be stabilized in such a quick time.

This family, the country, and the world are all pressed on Concubine Meng and her old man.

If you are someone else, let alone be able to stabilize the situation in such a quick time, I am afraid that whether you can persist in such a huge pressure is still a question.

And now, it is hard to wait until everything seems to have settled, the new emperor has ascended the throne, and the war with Houshu has been negotiated, and everything has come to an end, so how could King Li still leave Concubine Meng in Jian'an.

At this time, King Li wished that his mother could stay away from the troubled waters of the imperial capital Jian'an, especially Emperor Cheng, who was already suspicious of Concubine Meng, which made King Li not want to stay in the imperial capital for a moment.

But as long as it is a clear-eyed person, who doesn't know, this is not only what King Li desperately wants, but also what another person looks forward to day and night.

He couldn't wait to hope that Concubine Meng could leave Jian'an and leave the imperial capital of Xiyin as soon as possible.

After all, as long as the concubine and her old man leave, the only person who can veto all his decisions on the bright side and oppose him openly and openly is Concubine Meng.

And who this person is, everyone is also very clear - Emperor Cheng!

At this somewhat sensitive time, Emperor Cheng didn't want any more accidents, and the desire to let Concubine Meng leave could even make Emperor Cheng no longer listen to Li Wan's bewitchment, and he actually had the intention of compromising on the Yingchuan matter.

I only hope that Concubine Meng can leave Jian'an with King Li smoothly and return to the fiefdom as scheduled.

And it is precisely because of this reason that when this group of Beijing officials secretly traveled this time, Emperor Cheng clearly asked them to bring a message to Qi Yu, asking him to hold his troops first, and he must not offend Old Man Liang at this time.

But look at what His Royal Highness the Third Prince said to Old Man Liang just now? At this time, all the officials who were responsible for transporting Emperor Cheng's reward to Qinhe Villa froze.

"His Royal Highness the Third Prince is really a good eyesight. ”

But as if he didn't see the stiff expressions of the others at all, Old Man Liang was still motionless.

At this time, it is the last bit of sunlight outside the house, and it is the warmest when it falls. The wind, blowing gently, blew the rustle of the leaves of the willows, and gently echoed in the ears, like the clear water of the tinkling dong.

And the peach trees in the middle of summer, now the peach blossoms have long withered, at this time only the dry branches remain, swaying slightly in the orange sun and wind, and it is also in this street full of dry peach trees, a peach tree that is already very old, and life is about to come to an end, the peach tree is full of fog and flowers, as if the peach blossoms are colorful.

……

……

During the juvenile reign of Emperor Wen, a great war broke out between Xiyin and Houshu, and it was this great war that made Liang Hu, the general of Zhendong in Xiyin, begin to show his edge and amaze the world - Liang Hu led the only 100,000 troops left in Xiyin at that time, repelled the wolf army of Houshu, and invaded Shu nearly thousands of miles away, forcing Houshu to take the initiative to negotiate peace.

At that time, although Xiyin was like a rainbow at that time, but in fact, the national strength was extremely weak, and it was really a fantasy to take advantage of this to annex Houshu. Emperor Wen knew this very well, so this war between the two countries provoked by Hou Shu first, and finally ended with Hou Shu's initiative to negotiate peace. After many unequal treaties were signed in Houshu and a prince was sent to Xiyin as a proton, the war was completely quelled.

As for the lord of Dongyu County...... Chu Gu's mother, that is, at that time, arrived with Proton.

Concubine Meng is one of the four concubines of the first emperor, and the queen of the first emperor has only one in her life, and that is Empress Yuan Houzhen. After Empress Zhen's red face and early death, the first emperor did not establish a new one, and took charge of the power of the six palaces, but in the end, she was the favorite concubine of Emperor Cheng, Li Guifei.

Li Guifei is a person who is authoritarian and domineering, and has great ambitions, and has always wanted to meddle in national affairs, and when the first emperor was critically ill, she conspired with the imperial doctor to falsely announce the edict, and deceived all the adult princes into the Guangming Palace, and poisoned them all.

In the end, Li Guifei and her father and brother also launched the Chengdemen Mutiny, wanting to establish his three-year-old son as the emperor, if it weren't for the fact that at the last moment, Concubine Meng risked her life to rescue the widow of Empress Yuan Houzhen - Emperor Wen and King Li, who were only eleven years old at the time, and King Li, so that the three princes had a reason to fight back, then it is estimated that Li Guifei's poisonous plan would have been successful.

It's just that after everything was settled, people suddenly discovered that Concubine Meng's eldest son and youngest son had all died in the conspiracy in Guangming Palace.

And these are also so profound and clear in Liang Cheng's previous life, on the eve of his father and mother being beheaded.
