Chapter 260: Fighting Back in the Dark

readx;

When the two cousins came to the back garden of the Chengguo Mansion in a lack of interest, Yan Zhan hurriedly heard the news, and behind him was the unhurried Wang Zixian. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info saw that Princess Changning turned around very coldly and looked over, even if Yan Juma had many reasons, it was difficult to export, so he apologized to Li Hui very frankly: "It was the Yan family who neglected the king, don't blame the king." ”

Of course, the Yan family did not deliberately ignore the king of Xin'an County, but they had not held such a banquet for a long time, so they were a little too busy to take care of it. Moreover, no one would have thought that the king of Xin'an and the princess Pu would come so early. It stands to reason that the more distinguished guests should come, the later they come.

"It doesn't matter." Li Hui replied. He was thinking about how to isolate Concubine Yan from the Chengguo Mansion, but he didn't care about details such as hospitality. If Concubine Ren Yan continues to do mischief, it may mean that the Chengguo Mansion will have something bad - in other words, maybe after separating from her, the Chengguo Mansion still has a chance to save it. In any case, in the midst of recent changes, there is no room for error.

After Yan Zhan sent the little ladies of the Yan family away, Fang took the guests and started to tour the garden. At this time, the snow is beginning to melt, except for the blooming plums, there is only a lake that seems to be a non-melting, but there is no particularly moving scenery. Li Hui and Wang Zixian didn't have much interest in touring, and they fell behind unconsciously. Princess Changning and Yan Zhan walked faster, and they were able to stay calm at first, but then they seemed to have some arguments.

"She is Concubine Yan, one of her grandfather's harems, and she is already from the Li family, not your Yan family. Originally, she was supposed to stay in the palace in peace, but now she appears in the Chengguo Mansion all the time, pointing fingers at the Yan family. Oh, all of your Yan family members treat her as a bodhisattva, and everyone listens to her, but I don't have any interest in Weinuo. What's more, she still wants to meddle in her brother's marriage, why?! ”

"After all, the concubine is an elder, and her grandfather and grandmother obey her, and we juniors have nothing to do...... As for the king's marriage, isn't it only the princess who has not yet been decided? Liu Niang and Qi Niang are younger, and they can re-enter the palace in a few years, and they will not hinder the princess of the county. ”

Princess Changning smiled angrily: "Is this the reason for Concubine Yan, or is it your idea?" Brother and his parents are both complete, and his marriage has his own third father and third mother, what does it have to do with your Yan family? She really wanted to expose the inexplicable ambitions of these people in the Chengguo Mansion - if it weren't for the lack of a young lady of the right age in the family, I am afraid that they would have been impatient to send their own family members to the palace in the first place? What about generational differences? If they are faceless and skinless, it is impossible for Queen Du to categorically refuse

Yan Zhan was speechless, no one was more conflicted than him at this moment: he was grateful to Concubine Yan for sparing no effort to support and pay to the Chengguo Mansion, but he was also disgusted with her ugly appearance of meddling in everything and always impatient. Moreover, everything she did seemed to be for the Chengguo Mansion. No matter what she did was right or wrong, the onlookers would only attribute it to the Chengguo Mansion and be angry with the Chengguo Mansion.

"As long as she shows off her power in the Chengguo Mansion for a day, I will not step in again. Of course, Princess Changning's Mansion did not welcome her. Princess Changning said coldly, "Everything she has done has nothing to do with me. I don't want to hear any rumors about what she's planning for me and my mother. My mother and I never needed her to plan for us! ”

"Your lord......" Yan Zhan opened his mouth, as if he wanted to defend a few words, but he was still silent after all. Of course, he couldn't force Princess Changning, and at the same time, he couldn't persuade Concubine Yan. The feeling of being sandwiched between his beloved wife and his elders made him feel like he was on pins and needles, and even the vigor of these days seemed to be cast a heavy shadow.

"Cheng Qing didn't do this neatly enough." Li Hui, who heard the two arguing, said in a low voice, "In the past few months, we must let Concubine Yan live in peace, lest she muddy the pond and not mention it, but bring trouble to Yue Niang and her uncle." "In case Yang Jieyu gave birth to the fourth prince a few months later, he could almost imagine all the crude methods that Concubine Yan would use. or self-righteously "cut the grass and eradicate the roots" for Queen Du and the three princes, or win over Yang Jieyu in case of unforeseen needs, etc.

"It's not enough to just get caught in the cold." The prince continued, "It's better to propose to make a grand dojo for Emperor Taizong and Empress Wende." Her Royal Highness the Queen and Her Royal Highness the Princess, fasting and chanting sutras for a full 100 days. Come to think of it, the three concubines in the other palace should also follow suit. After finishing the dojo, it was already summer, and it was also filial piety to let a few concubines leave Chang'an to go to the palace to escape the summer. "It's not just that I'm sick, there are too many ways to trap Concubine Yan, it's just a matter of whether I need to do it.

“…… This is a great good. Li Hui believes that no matter how gentle the temperament of Rao is Empress Du and the Yan family is, they should no longer be able to stand Concubine Yan. The concubines of other families are all living in a simple place, but she is the only one who can't wait to miss every banquet and drink, and she doesn't let go of every thing that happens in the palace. Before she has the strength to set off the stormy waves, she must be pressed down tightly!

Soon after, the emperor and queen came, and the whole Chengguo Mansion took over with sincere fear. However, the saint and Empress Du only sat down for a moment and left. After all, even if they have become in-laws, the Chengguo Mansion is also an ordinary courtier, and it is impossible for the emperor to give them too much favor. Being able to come to the banquet is just because of their love for their beloved daughter. However, the pity is only for the daughter, and it is impossible to give it to others, lest someone rely on their arrogance.

A few days passed, Empress Du and Princess Pu Yan successively went to the fold, hoping to make a dojo for Emperor Taizong and Empress Wende. As daughters-in-law, they need to fast, read and chant sutras for a full 100 days to show their piety. Concubine Wang and Concubine Yang stayed in the palace and also just ate fasting and recited Buddha, and immediately agreed to participate in the dojo. Concubine Yan naturally didn't dare to be the only exception, so she had to close her door. As for whether she will fast and recite the Buddha, not many people know.

Dozens of days passed in a flash, and at the end of February, relying on the hands placed in various mansions, Li Hui and Wang Zixian successively determined more than 20 chess pieces against the king. They are very well hidden, and there are almost no flaws in the time they have entered the provinces, and they are all slaves bought and sold by the Chinese, and their family backgrounds are very innocent. However, no matter how innocent the family background is, it is meaningless in front of the accent that is so subtle that even they themselves are difficult to detect.

Of course, this move has not been without its faults. However, the big fish and small fish that have been caught so far are enough to start a counterattack. Li Hui, Wang Zixian and others discussed several times in the secret room before they gradually threw different poisonous baits to those fish.

For example, it is rumored that the eldest princess of Anxing has been depressed recently, and after relying on makeup to win over Princess Changning and Queen Du, she began to confess the "rebellion" she knew

。 However, the rebellious people in Chang'an City have already followed the example of their predecessors and admitted it themselves in order to protect themselves. So, she had to continue to point out the "rebellion" from other places. And this time, the list given is all from the northern states, and it is either Assassin Shi or Sima.

For example, it is said that after the eldest princess of Anxing, Ma Chengqing, got drunk, she made a big fuss in the Liangguo Mansion. The two brothers hugged their heads and cried, and they didn't know who they scolded, and the words like "poisonous woman" and "slut" never stopped. After Mrs. Liang Guo's wife, Mrs. Lu, settled the two brothers properly, she also cried silently.

These two poisonous baits were true or false, and when they came out of Chang'an through the fish, and went straight to the north, Cheng Yuma suddenly felt a lot refreshed. Although they had lost sight of the messenger halfway through the way, the thought of the success of the news reaching the ears of some person was enough to make one feel more pleasant. Not to mention, Cheng Yuma still spit out a bad breath in his heart?

The way to feed the fish is to take it step by step. Li Hui and Wang Zixian didn't mind mixing some good bait with the poisonous bait and continued to confuse the fish.

For example, the current clouds in the palace can't hide how many people, so they simply don't hide it, and let the opponent know that the saint should not lack a prince in the future, but the only thing missing is the prince who can enter the East Palace. As for how the other party would react, anxious or worried, or even sticking their fangs into the palace - they believed in Empress Du's ability to govern the Taiji Palace.

For example, I vaguely heard that the sage had the intention of cultivating his nephew King Xin'an, and actually let him serve as Zongzheng Shaoqing and Sinong Shaoqing at the same time, and repeatedly praised him for his outstanding ability. Due to the scarcity of affairs in Zongzheng Temple recently, King Jing simply handed it over to this junior. He was at home by himself, but for some reason he fell ill and had to recuperate for some time - what? Is this poisonous bait or good bait? Then someone has to judge for themselves.

At the same time as feeding the fish, Li Hui also officially moved into the Xin'an County Royal Mansion with the Yan family. It only took a few days for the Yan clan to arrange the entire county palace very properly. Moreover, all the servants were transferred from the Pu Wangfu, and they were very easy to use, and there was no opportunity for anyone to place chess pieces.

To celebrate the relocation, the mother and son specially held a banquet with Princess Changning on the Shangsi Festival, and invited the saints in the palace and Queen Du to come. Of course, the emperor was very interested in the Xin'an County Palace, which was personally supervised by his nephew, and walked around the palace for a whole day with a lot of face. Compared with the previous banquet in the Chengguo Mansion, it is obvious that the emperor is closer to his nephew. So, unconsciously, the people who had been confused by the rising momentum of the Yan family at this time couldn't help but feel comfortable: Compared with their sons-in-law, the saint and Queen Du obviously love their nephews more.

However, after seeing all the scenery, the sage said with a smile: "Xuanqi, do you think that Taifu Temple has no money anymore, and it is not possible to build a county prince's mansion?" The garden is well laid out, and it is also rare for the scenery to be connected to Yue Niang's princess mansion. But how are these courtyards exactly the same as Puwangfu West Road? Especially your dormitory, it seems that not a single flower, grass or tree has changed? ”

"Uncle, the child is just nostalgic. After all, I have long been accustomed to those flowers, trees and many furnishings. Li Hui replied with a bitter face, "If the dormitory is not exactly the same, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night." When he woke up in the past two days, the child always felt as if he had never moved, and his heart was much more stable. ”

"Haven't you ever moved?" The saint was a little helpless, "Even your aunt came with you, what is the difference between living in the Puwang Mansion." Come on, come on, I think it's time for you to start a family. Maybe after you get married, you won't be as childish as you are now. What I want is not only a neat and neat henchman when dealing with official duties, but also a stable and reliable adult gentleman. ”

Li Hui was stunned for a moment, and wanted to say something more, but the sage said to himself: "You are eighteen years old, and you are nineteen years old, and if you don't get married, how can I explain to my grandfather and aunt?" When did the Du family show filial piety? It's just a matter of edict, and you should hurry up and prepare all the dowry. ”

“…… It's ......" His Majesty the Emperor's dictation, how could Li Hui refuse, he could only agree in a low voice.

Wang Zixian, who had been following him, furrowed his brows without a trace.
