Chapter 19: Ning Guo Zuocheng (2)
"Has Prime Minister Zuo ever heard that Prince Han Yan disappeared from us yesterday?"
Zhu Qinghe stroked his beard for a moment, and looked at him in surprise: "Is there such a thing?" When? ”
"Prime Minister Zuo doesn't know?" Ling Wu'an doubted whether he really knew anything, and glanced at him suspiciously, seeing that his expression was very surprised and not fake, he continued to say: "Now it has been spread all over the capital, it is said that the Han Yan embassy was a mess yesterday, Han Yan's servants went in and out, and also sent a few skilled people to investigate whether some people in the court had seen the traces of the prince, and after inquiry, people with good intentions found that not only was there no trace of the prince Yuanyun, but even a few close guards around him were missing, and no one could be found. I guess Your Majesty should know, and when the time comes, I will definitely be ordered to find out the people, and in the end, my pressure must be very great. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Ling Wu'an seemed to be a little annoyed: "You said that this Prince of Han Yan went to our country, and it was not good to stay in the hotel as an envoy, find more guards to protect, and always travel lightly, it seems that he is not in the city, if he goes out of the city and disappears, who does this depend on?" It turned out that we people were unlucky! ”
The prime minister was not nervous when he heard this, but laughed, his eyes squinted like a kind old man, and he patted Ling Wu'an on the shoulder with a smile and comforted: "Cheng En, don't be impatient, Prince Han Yan, I don't know if it's really true, and now Your Majesty hasn't gotten the news, I think it's Han Yan's envoys who also suspect Your Majesty, so they haven't entered the palace for help, you can step up the search while the master doesn't know, if you can find Prince Han Yan, Your Majesty can't you make a deal when you ask?" ”
Ling Wu'an's mood did not relax a little, he frowned: "How can the prime minister be so relieved, now is the time for us to plan the candidate for the crown prince, if we don't get it right, it will be a variable that affects our plans, and there can be no accidents at such an important juncture~"
Zhu Qinghe's smile gradually narrowed, stared at Ling Wu'an with a cold expression, and said lightly: "General Ling, you can't talk nonsense, the prime minister works for Ning Guo, I don't dare to say that I do my best, and I also do my best not to hide my selfish intentions, what the general said, it seems that the prime minister has something to manipulate with you, and the prime minister can't afford it!" With that, he got up to see off the guests.
How could Ling Wu'an just give up and leave, although he was a hussar general who commanded the dignified Gyeonggi battalion, and his family was illustrious, and he was very angry when he was trained like this, but the goal was not achieved, and he endured the breath in his chest. Now is not the time for a battle of wills, this old horseman, don't think that you can't see his thoughts, what you do your best is simply selfish. Although he wanted to throw his hands and leave, but thinking of the great cause of the country, he still endured it, and stepped forward with a smile and apologized: "Prime Minister Zuo, don't be angry, it is the lower official who has lost his word, and Chengen is also bent on reimbursing the country, but His Majesty is getting older, the country has no prince, and the foundation of the country is shaking...... The sooner the prince settles down, the more hope for stability and prosperity in Ningguo. Xia Guan was just too anxious to accidentally say the wrong thing......"
Zhu Qinghe's expression eased at this time, and although he didn't speak, he didn't continue to send off guests.
Ling Wuan saw that Zhu Qinghe was not really angry, so he sat back and said a few good words, and finally coaxed Prime Minister Zhu Cheng's face to turn around. Seeing that Prime Minister Zhu had a smile again, he seemed to have just remembered something, so he smiled and said: "By the way, look at my memory, this time in addition to having something to discuss with the prime minister, but also to send an invitation for the mother, the mother's birthday will be five days later, and then please be sure to appreciate the face of the prime minister, although I don't have such a good wine as the commander, the chef at home makes snacks is very delicious, the people in the capital are quite reasonable, and please take the prime minister to the commander to appreciate the face......"
When Ling Wuan said this, he gave Zhu Qinghe a meaningful look, and then said: "That day, the friends and good colleagues of the lower officials will come, and we can just discuss some of the things that the lower officials told you a while ago......
Zhu Qinghe sat upright with his hands around his sleeves, his eyes seemed to be squinting slightly, and he didn't know if he heard it, Ling Wu'an didn't say much, and left a gift list, there were not many things on it, just three gifts, a very good color Shoushan stone, a former dynasty good painting of flowers and plants, the proud work of Saint Lu Yifeng, a two-foot-high Hetian Jade Guanyin without impurities, any of these three pieces in the palace to collect may not be easy, can be given as a valuable gift to any prince and noble, and now, They were all in this gift list that Ling Wu'an sent to Zhu Qinghe, Zhu Qinghe's eyes flashed when he saw the gift list, and he was not happy or shocked, but indifferently ordered the housekeeper to register and put it in the library, and invited Ling Wu'an to the flower hall of the main courtyard for a banquet.
Zhu Yelei took a bath, changed into new clothes, and was about to go to the front yard, the little guy came back and whispered to the young man in brocade, Zhu Yelei nodded and went to the study in his courtyard.
When he pushed open the door of the study, there was already a person standing inside.
The man was dressed in gray plain clothes, and his whole body blended in with his surroundings, as if if he didn't want people to notice, his aura would disappear from the room.
Zhu Yelei didn't look at him when he went in, walked straight to the main seat and sat down, unfolded a piece of letter paper, and the subordinates who looked like a small guy quickly stepped forward to study ink for him, and he picked up the pen and began to write, the whole process was smooth, and he didn't pause in one go, and after writing, he folded the letter and put it in the envelope, and then he raised his head to summon the person who came in first.
"Wang Tian, how is the matter with you?"
The man kept his head down, and when he heard this, he stepped forward and bowed down and said: "Back to the master, the noble subordinates from Wei have quietly sent away, but he expressed his dissatisfaction with our failure to get things and the fact that people did not solve this matter, and said that he should report truthfully when he returned to China. ”
Zhu Yelei was closing the envelope, and while listening to his lips, he withdrew an arc at the same time, and smiled slightly.
"Huh...... A gentleman, relying on the top to favor him, and still play prestige in front of me, the news is wrong to blame me, this person now this young master has no time to clean up, first pacify him and send him back, and when the plan is completed, there is time to play with him slowly. ”
The person who had been keeping his head down didn't say anything more, Zhu Yelei handed him the envelope and explained: "You send this letter to the distinguished guest of the grassland, tell him our plan, let him go back and arrange it first, and when he comes back, the situation here will be almost the same, and I will discuss the specific plan of action with him." ”
The gray-clothed man bowed down, as if he remembered something, and asked: "Master, the Wei State only said that the Prince of Hanyan was tied back, but it didn't say that he wanted to kill people, why should we-"
Zhu Yelei's expression was cold, and he stared at him with slightly squinted eyes: "When do you need to question my order?" ”
The man in gray was not afraid, but bowed his head respectfully and said that he did not dare.
Zhu Yelei snorted coldly, a sneer overflowed from the corner of his lips, as if he was talking to himself, and said slowly: "Who made his life bad, and he wants to marry Jin'er......"
The sky was still bright, the other was gradually dark, and it began to rain with snow particles, and the wind was blowing.
