Chapter 53: Going to the Appointment
"Lao Chen and Lord Chen have committed the following crimes. Liang Wenfu said cautiously, "We have doubts about the identity of His Highness. The ministers are guilty, and I hope that Your Highness will forgive them. ”
Chen Shuhua attached: "Please forgive your Highness." ”
It turned out to be something like this.
He had only said that he had broken his head and lost some of his memories, but despite his intention to emulate, his behavior and habits were somewhat different from those of the real prince. And Liang Wenfu and Chen Shuhua, confidants and important ministers, are quite close to the prince, and all kinds of changes are just amnesia, which really can't stand scrutiny.
What's more, the prince's amnesia is a major event, and he is afraid of causing turmoil on the surface and does not mention it to the public, but in private he has never summoned any imperial doctors.
Lin Suqing speculated about Liang Wenfu and Chen Shuhua's thoughts, and with a city like him, he must have been suspicious for a long time.
However, since the two of them frankly explained their doubts today, they must have believed his identity.
Although I don't know what the two of them rely on to help in their judgment, it is a good thing for him to believe.
Lin Suqing put down the brush, got up and walked out of the desk to help the two of them up, and said with a smile: "This palace suddenly lost its memory, and there are many abnormalities in your words and deeds, it is reasonable for you to be suspicious, and this palace should not blame you." ”
Looking back carefully, the two of them were suspicious, but they were still loyal and loyal ministers, so they should not be blamed.
What's more, this kind of thing, blame is even more suspicious.
Lin Suqing suddenly thought that Liang Wenfu and Chen Shuhua were convinced now, so even if King Ying intended to expose him in the future, there would be these two people as witnesses. God help me!
was so emotional, but immediately lost again, where did God help him. If Tianruo helped him, how could he come to this world, and how could he be transferred by the second prince to experience the feeling of being a prince? He should have been playing games with air conditioning blowing now.
As soon as I thought of the sporadic things, I was suddenly stunned in my heart.
Alas, he doesn't know how long he will stay here, whether he can go back to his original world or not, the key is when he will be able to be himself again? He still hasn't figured out what the second prince transferred him to test him for.
He realized the intention of the second prince in his heart, which one he was more willing to do than being himself or possessing the prince?
It can only be said that each has its own advantages and each has its own dangers.
For the time being, he compares himself to "before" and as a prince to "now".
Needless to say, he was in danger "before", and he was almost in fear all day long, who was eaten, killed by whom, and who was arrested......
And "now" needs to calculate all the scheming, step by step, such as walking Zhenlong to break the dangerous peak, step by step, no mistakes and no regrets.
However, compared to fighting against those demons who are beyond his abilities, it is obviously much easier and safer to fight with these mortals like him.
At least mortals are still reasonable, at least "now" he will not be regarded as a scourge.
The advantages are so clear, if he had to make a choice, if he could, who would he prefer to be from now on?
When he thought about it, he hesitated.
"Before", even if there were many dangers, the weak preyed on the strong, and the demon was unreasonable. However, he has the opportunity to soar into an immortal and return to his original divine realm.
And "now", he may become the emperor in the future, if he wants to become a generation of Ming monarchs, then he has to have the beauty of the harem, and work day and night in the country. Not only must you deal with the open and secret battles in the court, but you also have to balance the competition in the harem, and worry about the wars and changes that will arise at any time. From now on, his life is no longer his own, but the entire country and all the people
As soon as he thought of this, he suddenly had a choice in his heart, Fu Yi smiled, or it was more chic and comfortable to be himself.
This smile made Liang Wenfu and Chen Shuhua, who were helping him watch the folds, wonder, and hurriedly asked him, "Why is Your Highness happy?"
"Huh?" he was stunned, came back to his senses, and disguised, "It's nothing, just think about it yourself."
What he laughed at was that he used to only know how to read idle books, play games and chase comics all day long, but one day he would dislike being an emperor.
What's even more interesting is that even he can't tell whether this idea is based on ambition or because of low vision.
He is still smiling - in his heart, he is an unwilling person to fall after all. If he had a choice, he would choose to go higher, farther and more chic.
Thinking so, he smiled lightly again. Seeing Liang Wenfu and Chen Shuhua, he muttered in his heart, the prince's brain is fine, right?
"Big brother!" Suddenly, a loud voice lit up outside the door, pulling their respective minds back.
Lin Suqing put down his pen, looked up and saw King Ping, who was dressed lightly, walking in with great interest, and said straight to the point: "Big brother is recovering from a serious illness, let's go hunting and relax?"
It's hunting again......
Lin Suqing rubbed his eyebrows and said euphemistically: "Do you remember how I was injured last time?"
King Ping grinned: "This time it will never be, even if you ride on the snow and step on ants, I won't tease you." Let's go!"
Seeing that the euphemism with King Ping did not work, Lin Suqing simply refused bluntly, and said mercilessly: "Don't go." ”
King Ping's personality is difficult to describe Lin Suqing, and when discussing business, he speaks sharply and thinks quickly. Even if a lot of hard work is in vain, you can leave everything behind in the blink of an eye and have fun.
I don't know whether to praise him for his youthful nature and lack of memory, or praise him for being clear about public and private and open-minded.
"Big brother, a proper walk is good for your body and mind, and you should combine work and rest when you are recovering from a serious illness. As he spoke, King Ping came and dragged him by the arm.
"I'm not going. Lin Suqing continued to refuse, feeling that this was not convincing, so he simply diverted the topic and said, "Why do you think about hunting so bently? Is it that the food is not delicious, or is the beauty not good-looking?"
"Nothing else!" As soon as King Ping heard it, he knew that Lin Suqing was turning a corner and said that he didn't want to go, so he said bluntly: "I'd rather not have a beauty, I'd rather not eat, and I want to go hunting, do you want to go?" ”
Lin Suqing spread his hand again and again, wanting to pull out his arm, but King Ping was full of brute force, he couldn't pull it out, and he couldn't break it, so he said helplessly: "Manly man, why are you playing a scoundrel." ”
The appearance of the two brothers, the prince and King Ping, made Liang Wenfu and Chen Shuhua secretly laugh.
"Your Highness!" suddenly a guard at the door shouted to report.
Finally helped him find a chance to get out, Lin Suqing hurriedly pulled out his arm, and King Ping also let go of his hand very much.
Lin Suqing straightened his clothes and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Returning to Your Highness, we found a letter in the mouth of the stone lion in front of the gate of the East Palace. ”
When Lin Suqing raised his hand, the guard bowed respectfully, held the letter forward with both hands, and said, "I have searched the vicinity of the palace gate, and there has been no suspicious figure. Do you want to track it down?"
"Not necessarily. Lin Suqing's answer was straightforward.
The East Palace where the prince is located is located in the imperial city, and if he can place the letter in front of the East Palace, he must be the person in the palace, and if he wants to track it down, it must be inextricably linked.
He took the letter, the cover did not have any inscription or inscription, he sniffed it, and there was no smell of powder, and the person who sent the letter should exclude women.
Then he opened it and took out the letterhead, and when he unfolded it, he saw that the book was cursive, the pen was strong, and the content was very short.
only said: "Listen to the rain pavilion, gather at the time of the unitary, Ade." ”
Where did Ade stay?
Seeing Lin Suqing's confused face, King Ping stepped forward and asked, "Who wrote the letter?"
Lin Suqing handed the letter to King Ping, and said, "King Ying will go to listen to the rain pavilion when he is in his personal capacity. ”
Thinking about it, he only left "Ade", with neither a title nor a seal, so naturally he was not as a prince, right?
Chen Shuhua said: "King Ying's appointment to meet His Royal Highness outside the palace when the sky is dark, I am afraid that there will be fraud." ”
"Lord Chen is right, he is afraid that King Ying will have an ambush in advance, so he will only wait for His Highness to go to the appointment. Liang Wenfu also said, "Could it be that His Majesty's golden mouth and jade words went back on his word, which made King Ying hold a grudge and want to go sideways?"
Lin Suqing was a little puzzled: "The murder of the prince is not a small crime, should he not dare to take such a big mistake, right?"
Chen Shuhua said: "The prince left the palace on his own, if there is danger outside the palace, who can say who is the one who did it? Not to mention that if King Ying wants to carry out this strategy, he must have a full plan and will not be caught in any way." ”
King Ping was overjoyed, took Lin Suqing's forearm and said, "Big brother, why don't we plan and treat others in the way of others!"
Liang Wenfu immediately heard the meaning of King Ping's words, he pondered, and asked: "His Royal Highness King Ping said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also led people to ...... Outflanking them?"
"That's right!"
King Ping nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Big brother, you don't have to risk your life personally, I will find someone to disguise yourself as you and go to the appointment for you, as long as King Ying shows up, we will ......" He made a gesture with a knife in his hand.
Seeing this, Liang Wenfu and Chen Shuhua immediately understood what King Ping meant, and after the two of them looked at each other, they nodded in agreement.
But Lin Suqing was shocked in his heart, and immediately objected: "No, after all, they are brothers, how can they kill each other."
He didn't want to come and possess the wise prince with an eternal infamy of killing his siblings.
"Besides, King Ying made an appointment in the name of milk, in case he didn't set up an ambush......"
King Ping disagreed, and said: "No, what kind of heart King Ying is, the eldest brother knows best, if you don't guard against him, he also wants to guard against you." He couldn't go alone. ”
Liang Wenfu and Chen Shuhua seconded the proposal again and again.
"His Royal Highness King Ping is right. ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what His Royal Highness King Ping said must not be listened to. ”
They have some truth in what they say, and there is indeed a considerable possibility. Lin Suqing had to think about it.
He sat and thought, studied and pondered, and suddenly had an idea: "This palace has a plan. ”
He turned over and hurriedly instructed them: "You have pre-selected some people who are born in the face of King Ying, disguised as guests of the Listening Rain Pavilion, and placed them in the Listening Rain Pavilion to hide in the flow of guests. ”
At that time, the main palace will go to the appointment on time. As he spoke, he raised a teacup and motioned, "This palace uses the toss of the cup as a signal, and as soon as the cup falls, you will do it immediately." ”
King Ping was about to say something, but Lin Suqing immediately interrupted: "If the palace has never dropped a cup, no one is allowed to act rashly. This sentence was specially said to be heard by King Ping,
"Big brother, the kindness of a woman like you is really not advisable. I saw King Ping's face fall, "But you have decided so, and we have to do it." Anyway, I don't agree with your approach, I think that if you want to be truly stable, you must cut the grass and eradicate the Yingwang. ”
......
During the unitary period, the sky is overcast and gloomy.
The wind is like pulling out mountains, the thunder is a thousand mountains, and the black clouds are rolling like ink, covering half of the sky.
Lin Suqing was dressed in regular clothes, took a carriage, and came to the Listening Rain Pavilion in the southeast outside the palace. Although he had made arrangements in advance for this appointment, he was still nervous.
The building of Tingyu Pavilion is very magnificent and very unique, red bricks and blue tiles, sitting west and facing east. There are three floors of pavilions, about seven or eight feet high.
The roof of the building is made of stacked Ruyi bucket arches, like the helmet of the eaves and corners, a rough look at the magnificent atmosphere, a detailed look at the exquisite beauty, small to the doors and windows are delicate carvings.
The most famous thing about Tingyu Pavilion is that the whole building has never used a nail or rivet, and it is very different from the large and small wooden components to support each other and connect with each other.
"Guest officer, please~" Xiao Erda began to greet from afar, "How many of you are there, guest officer?"
Listening to the guests in the rain pavilion, countless welcoming juniors greeted each other.
After Lin Suqing looked around, he replied to Xiao Er's enthusiasm.
"No, I'm here for the appointment. ”
The little second who received him looked him up and down, and then said: "The little one knows that you are a distinguished guest when he sees you, may I ask if the guest officer has left a side room?
"No need, I'll just look for it myself. With that, Lin Su Youth Palace went upstairs.
He saw that the downstairs was crowded and noisy, and presumably Ade would not choose to ask him on the first floor.
When I went up to the second floor, I saw that they were all literati. Or raise a glass to express feelings, or say sorrow during the period, or impassionedly comment on national affairs. After listening to it roughly, there were a few of them who were not afraid of losing their heads, and their words were very self-righteous and rampant. It's a bit chaotic, and presumably Ade won't make an appointment on this floor.
So he went up to the third floor again, and just as he was about to go upstairs, the little guy guarding the staircase on the second floor hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him.
"I'm sorry for the guest officer, above the third floor, I don't entertain guests today. ”
"Why don't you entertain guests?" Lin Suqing was surprised, and had an intuition in his heart - Ade should be on the third floor.
However, he couldn't go up to the third floor, so he thought that the secret guard he had planted in advance couldn't go up either. Then why didn't anyone report it?
Xiao Er said truthfully: "I was chartered by a noble person to feast today." ”
Lin Suqing was a little flustered in his heart, I'm afraid there is no one on the third floor, so ...... To go? or not to go?
"Is there only the noble one you said upstairs?" he asked.
"Yes, Childe, the noble man is waiting for the distinguished guest. ”
Lin Suqing thought about it repeatedly, since he had already come, there was no reason to stop. What's more, countless guards have already been placed in the periphery, and it is only the third floor, which is not very tight. What's more, there is only one person in the Yingwang, isn't it?
So, he pinched the shelf and said to Xiao Er: "It is this son who he wants to feast today." ”
"This ......" Xiao Er thought that Lin Suqing was deliberately embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "Guest officer, the little one knows that you are also a distinguished guest, but the one upstairs is terrible, this joke can't be made, and we really can't afford to provoke the one above." ”
It seems that King Ying has reported his true identity to this shopkeeper, and he actually came to meet him as King Ying? Is this to prevent assassins, or is it deliberately to attract assassins?
Lin Suqing couldn't understand King Ying's hand. He only said, "If you go and report it, you will ...... Old friends in the woods. ”
Xiao Er saw that Lin Suqing's attitude was very firm, and he didn't seem to be deliberately embarrassing him. He thought about it again and again, and then he made up his mind and received the order.
"Childe, you wait a while, and the little one will go up and ask. ”
