Chapter 285: The First Strategist
"Later, I found out," Shitong hesitated for a long time, and said slowly, "Sir, he, you all know each other, well, it is the first strategist under the seat of His Majesty Mingzong before his death, Mr. Wenzi Mowen!" ”
After saying this, everyone present was shocked.
Nan Xun calculated, twelve or fifteen years ago, she was not born yet, at that time, she could not know a little bit about it, but ten years ago, Nan Xun knew, at that time, Mingzong had just broken through Luoyang, and then implemented a series of measures to make people feel at ease, which won the hearts of the people and laid a good foundation for his accession to the throne.
And, after that, it did prove that Mingzong was a good king.
Nan Xun took a closer look at this person's face, and at this time, Shuang'er suddenly shouted: "Ah, I remember, you seem to have followed the emperor to my house, right, Xiao Zi, right!?" ”
Xiao Zi was on the side and nodded silently.
Shitong said: "Yes, when the eldest prince besieged Luoyang City before, I escorted the emperor to the general's mansion to move the rescue troops. ”
"That's right." "I'll just say I've seen you. ”
In this way, this person is indeed the guard of His Majesty Mingzong during his lifetime.
It's just that for what he said, the general is still the same as just now, there is no conclusive evidence, the general will not help him at all, and even said that the general knows and does not report it, which is already a big crime, and it is impossible to help Shitong, or rather, help the second prince because of something without evidence.
Nan Xun didn't care much about this, he just turned his head and asked Xiang Shitong: "After you came to Luoyang, have you still been in contact with Grandpa Wen!?" ”
"No," Shitong shook his head and said, "Although Mr. Wen occasionally comes to the palace, but when he sees me, it is as if he has never seen me, and he doesn't seem to know me at all. Later, I thought about it, Mr. Wen was doing this to protect me, after all, uh. How to say it, Mingzong is actually very suspicious, and the reason why he completely trusts Mr. Wen is just that he thinks. Old Man Wen would not try to take his throne, if Mingzong knew that I was arranged by Mr. Wen Lao by his side, no matter how simple the purpose was, it is estimated that Mingzong would not believe it. ”
"Indeed!" The general met a sentence at this time, it is estimated that the people present, there is no one who knows Mingzong better than him, he is the person who has the most right to speak, and now the general has confirmed Shitong's statement, which shows that Wen Lao did deliberately pretend not to know Shitong. That's how everyone is safe.
Nan Xun asked, "For ten years, Grandpa Wen hasn't contacted you!?" ”
Shitong smiled and said: "Indeed, for ten years, Mr. Wen has never taken the initiative to find me, nor have I looked for him, and even said that if it weren't for Mingzong's sudden death, I wouldn't have been able to contact the second prince, and my preservation is just to protect Mingzong's safety." However, in the end, I still couldn't finish what my husband gave me. ”
Listening to Shitong's words, Nan Xun suddenly felt disappointed. She thought that she could know a little about Grandpa Wen from Shitong, so that she could investigate whether it was related to her father's whereabouts, but she didn't expect that Shitong had been in Luoyang for ten years. I haven't even contacted Grandpa Wen.
This forbearance and perseverance are really enough for Nan Xun to look up to, and it seems that these ten tongs are really willing to pay a price for the task.
Nan Xun then asked Shitong: "Then how can you prove that the gentleman who taught you before is Grandpa Wen!?" ”
Shi Tong thought for a while and took out half of the jade pendant from his arms, and said: "And the half of the jade pendant that Mr. is gave me, tell me, if he goes, I will obey the holder of the other half of the jade pendant, but I haven't found the other half of the jade pendant until now, Miss Nanxun, your appraisal skills are incomparable, besides, Miss and Mr. Wen are so familiar, I think you should be able to see it." ”
After speaking, Shitong gave half of the jade pendant to Nan Xun.
Nan Xun then took it, turned his head to look at the general, and the general nodded, meaning that Nan Xun could just check it, and there was no need to show it to him.
Nan Xun immediately closed his eyes and felt it carefully, and then the picture quickly flipped over, and sure enough, as Shitong said, this jade pendant was indeed given to Shitong by Grandpa Wen, and told him that after the death of Old Wen, Shitong must obey another person who holds half a jade pendant.
After reading it, Nan Kaoru nodded and said, "That's true! ”
Then, he gave the jade pendant to Shitong, and Shitong turned out to be a jade pendant, and then said: "Now you should believe what I said, right!?" ”
Nan Xun smiled and said: "Believe, what's the use, you don't have conclusive evidence, we won't help you or anything, besides, the current Xinjun has nothing out of the ordinary, unless you find real evidence, otherwise even if we believe you, we can't do anything!" ”
"However, the third prince is obviously a well-dressed beast and a hypocrisy, such a person will not be a king for long, I am afraid that it will make the people complain again!"
After Shitong finished speaking, the general stood up and said: "Wait until that time to talk about it, okay, you can leave, so far, you haven't said any conclusive evidence, retreat, there is no need to work in vain." ”
Shitong wanted to say something, but the general was obviously impatient, so he waved his hand, and the housekeeper made a gesture of invitation to Shitong and left the general's mansion with Shitong.
Seeing Shitong leaving, the general turned around and asked Nan Xun: "What do you think about this!?" ”
"The general already has the answer in his heart, and asks me if it's the same," Nan Kaoru smiled, "Why bother doing it again!" ”
"Hahaha, I just want to hear your thoughts."
Nan Xun said: "I think that eighty percent of what Shi Tong said is true, because I believe that the people cultivated by Grandpa Wen will not be harmful to Mingzong." ”
"Alas," the general sighed and said, "It's a pity that Mingzong is such a wise person, and the third prince is such a father and a child who seizes the throne, is not as good as the adopted son of the second prince." ”
"The position of the Ninety-Five Supreme, it is estimated that a person will want it very much, not to mention that the position in the Three Princes is only one step away, how can he not be anxious, I just don't know, he was in a hurry to do such a thing, or after enduring it for a long time, he finally showed his brutal fangs."
The general said, "I hope it's just a momentary hurry." Otherwise, these three princes have endured it for so long, and after they ascend the throne, they may be out of control, and the people will suffer again. ”
"So what now!?" Nan Kaoru turned his head and asked the general. After all, it's the general who has the big idea now.
The general thought for a while and said: "Let's take a look first, I don't know what the third prince will do in the future, I hope you don't do anything that disappoints me, alas, for a while." I'll go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to take a look, I don't know if the old Prime Minister will know something. ”
Nan Kaoru said, "That's all it can be." ”
Subsequently, Nan Xun stayed in the General's Mansion for a while, and then he would be a pawnshop.
Then, let the freshman repair a book and tell him about Luoyang City in the North Book, mainly to let the North Book pay attention to whether there is any change in Xiang Ming Xuan, and see if this Xiang Ming Xuan and Sun Mansion are in the same group as the Three Princes.
Nami Kaoru couldn't help but feel a little funny. If the benevolence of the three princes is really pretended, then Shang Meng really saw the wrong person this time, and what is even more infuriating is that this was voted by her personally.
Thinking of this, Nan Xun felt a little angry, and then thought about it, it seemed that Yan Shao let him choose the third prince, well. Could it be that the Yan family and the third prince have some ulterior secrets, no, Nan Xun felt that he had to ask Yan Shao to understand.
So, Nan Xun went straight to Jiangbei Qianzhuang.
After entering the door. He shouted: "What about your young master?!" ”
The old butler came over and said, "Miss, it's really unfortunate that you came, the young master happened to have something to go out, do you need my help to tell me something!?" ”
Nan Xun said: "There is nothing urgent, it's just. When your young master comes back, let him come to my shop, I have something to discuss with him, and I want him to come over as soon as possible. ”
"Okay, old man remember, does the young lady have any other orders!?" As he spoke, the old man poured a cup of tea for Nan Xun.
Nan Xun said: "No, I'll go back first." ”
"Alas, miss, let's have a cup of tea and then go......"
As the old butler spoke, Nan Xun had returned to his pawnshop.
Xiao Yi said: "What's the matter, Yan Shao is not in Qianzhuang!?" ”
"I'm not here, I don't know what I've done, the person who is idle all day long and wants to die, every time I look for him, I can't find him." Nan Xun was in a bad mood, thinking that the third prince was recommended by Yan Shao and her, she felt very depressed.
"I don't think it should be so idle, after all, there are a lot of businesses in the bank, and they are all very messy, and there are a lot of them, and it is not so easy to be idle."
Nan Xun said: "Forget it, don't talk about this, I'll still point out your identification skills......"
Subsequently, Nan Xun pointed out Xiao Yi in the pawnshop, and until the evening, before he could say anything, Nan Xun sighed in his heart, forget it, it seems that he can only wait for tomorrow.
As he spoke, he greeted Xiao Yi and prepared to close the store door and go upstairs to rest.
At this moment, Nan Xun saw a figure flash into the room, accompanied by a familiar voice: "Are you looking for me in any hurry!?" ”
It's really a long time to come out, this Yan Shao can be regarded as coming, Nan Xun is not so anxious to close the door, so he said to Yan Shao: "Ask you something, Mingzong ......"
Before Nan Xun finished speaking, Yan Shao interrupted her and said, "I know, you want to ask about Mingzong, you also think that Mingzong's death is a bit too sudden." ”
"It's not just me," Nan Xun said, "I guess the entire people of Luoyang City will feel strange." ”
"It's not weird, hasn't it been rumored that Mingzong is critically ill before, and now that he has died, it won't make people feel too abrupt, after all, it's been more than a year." Yan Shao said.
Nan Xun said: "No, I always feel wrong, you say, will it be the third prince......
Yan Shao listened to Nan Xun's words, paused for a moment, frowned and said, "I really haven't thought about this matter, but I don't think the three princes are benevolent and righteous, and they shouldn't do such a big rebellious thing." ”
"In case, the benevolence and righteousness of the three princes are all faked, I heard Sister Shuang'er say that although Mingzong was a little sick before, he didn't suddenly die overnight."
Nan Xun said this, just to test Yan Shao, and wanted to find out from Yan Shao's words, did he know that the third prince poisoned Mingzong.
Sure enough, Yan Shao didn't seem to know anything about this, he shook his head and said: "Perhaps, what we see is just the appearance, Mingzong may really have reached the end of his life, and died in his sleep, as for the violent death, it will definitely not, so many people serve Mingzong, if he really suddenly worsened his illness, how could he not find out, if you said it, if he was killed by the third prince, it is another possibility, but, as far as I know, the third prince is humble and benevolent, he will not be a person who can do such a thing, I said, Do you know something!? ”
Nan Xun said: "What can I know, anyway, I know a lot of people, all of them show that the death of His Majesty is a bit strange, and they all feel that things are not so simple, I am worried, in case, the three princes are really people with human faces and beast hearts, hypocrisy and false righteousness, then we are not going to be scolded for being bloody, you know, the three princes are recommended by us." ”
Yan Shao was stunned for a moment, and seemed to realize this problem: "Yes, this, things are a little not fun, I have been busy dealing with the affairs of Qian Zhuang before, and I actually ignored this matter, the third prince was elected by us, this ......"
"That's right," Nan Xun said, "That's why I'm in such a hurry to find you, I want to ask you if there is any way to find out what happened to Mingzong's death, so as not to ...... the three princes."
"Hmm!" Yan Shao said, "This matter is not a trivial matter, if the wrong person is really promoted, then it will be the people of Li who will suffer all over the world, you can't be careless, so let's do my best to find someone to investigate, what about you, continue to help go to the General's Mansion to inquire, and see if there are still actions after the three princes, if it is true and false, then after ascending the throne, it will definitely be exposed!" ”
"Well," Nan Xun said, "I will definitely pay attention to this, but I don't think the third prince will change his face so quickly, after all, he has to pretend for a while, he has just ascended the throne and the government or something, it is still unstable, he doesn't dare to be too presumptuous." ”
Yan Shao smiled and said: "That's not necessarily, if a person has really been suppressed for decades, and suddenly, the shackles are freed, then this person, the resentment in his heart that bursts out, he won't care what others think, especially if this person is still the emperor who holds the life and death of the world!"
