Chapter 204: Appointment (1)
"Your Majesty, Helian City has arrived in the capital, and he sent someone to deliver a message to Weichen last night, asking when we can meet?" As soon as he got off the court, Bian Yi came to the imperial study to report the situation of Helian City to the emperor. I still remember that last night he had just returned to his room to rest, when suddenly someone threw a note with a dart and came in, and he immediately got up and chased out, but there was no trace of anyone. When I entered the house, there was only one sentence written on the note: I have arrived at the Longxiang Inn in the capital, when will we meet?
Huangfu Jingwen was silent, still criticizing the folds, Bian Yi didn't know what he meant, so he hesitated and asked, "Has the emperor changed his mind?" β
Putting down the brush, Huangfu Jingwen looked up at Bian Yi and said, "How is the imperial concubine?" Huangfu Jingwen asked about Chu Xiangwan's situation.
"Back to the emperor, the person sent by Weichen to the border pass also replied with the news yesterday, and the imperial concubine seems to be no longer at the border pass." This is the second thing Bian Yi wants to say here.
"Where did you go?" Huangfu Jingwen asked.
"Weichen doesn't know, he only knows that the imperial concubine is no longer in the barracks, and the person next to the emperor Jingyao doesn't seem to be there."
"You mean that the man left with Xiang Wan?" Huangfu Jingwen was a little strange, why did Huangfu Jingyao send Xiang Wan away at this time.
"Xu is that person has other things to do with the imperial concubine," Bian Yi guessed with a frown, "Wechen suspects that they are coming to the capital. β
"Why do you say that?"
"Your Majesty, Weichen has found out that person's stronghold is in the capital before, but it is too secretive so there has been no result, if it is said that King Rui is willing to let the imperial concubine leave. It must be because that person wants to take the imperial concubine to a safer place, and according to Weichen's thoughts, it should be that person's stronghold. β
"To put it this way. Xiang Wan has come to the capital. β
"This is just Weichen's speculation, maybe they went somewhere else."
"Anyway, it must be related to that person, I asked you to track down his capital stronghold, do you have any news?"
"Wechen is investigating, and I already have some clues, but it's not clear yet."
"It's going to be fast. Do you understand? β
"Yes, Wechen obeys." Bian Yi nodded, the affairs of the imperial concubine will always come first in the emperor's heart.
"As for what you just said about Helian City. You go to the inn and tell him that you will meet in three days at the Zuoxiang Courtyard on Shangyang Mountain. β
"Yes, Weichen retired." Bian Yi didn't say a word, but said in his heart: Shangyang Courtyard is really a sensitive place. But it's also hidden. The emperor is indeed clever in choosing this place.
"Ma Hui, I'll go out of the palace tonight."
"Your Majesty, can you tell the old slave where to go, and the old slave can arrange people."
"I want to go to the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion to visit Chu Huaifeng, you just need to arrange a few clever people to follow."
"The emperor is benevolent, since the resignation of Prime Minister Zuo from illness the year before last, the emperor has often sent people to reward and condole, in fact, it is all because of the imperial concubine." Ma Hui said slowly. In fact, Zuo Xiang has no physical pain, in the final analysis, it is a heart disease. The imperial concubine disappeared from the disappearance to everyone thought that she was not alive, the left prime minister was devastated, the only daughter was born and died, and the left minister did not want to fight with people in the court, so he resigned and returned home, the emperor did not allow it at first and repeatedly retained, but the left minister was resolute, so the emperor had no choice but to follow his wishes. The reason why the rule of the court officials is becoming more and more smoky now is that the people of Fang Tinglou have mastered the court, and they have gathered land to collect money and accept bribes, which is already lawless.
"Xiang Wan is responsible for leaving me, Zuo Xiang has done his best for Da Zhou, but I can't protect her only daughter, I'm really ashamed of him!" Huangfu Jingwen said with a sigh.
"The emperor's heart is more bitter than anyone else, but it is indeed not easy for the left minister." Ma Hui also felt unbearable.
"Alright, you go down and prepare." Huangfu Jingwen waved his hand.
As soon as Bian Yi left the palace, he went to the Longxiang Inn, and when he arrived on the first floor of the lobby, someone greeted him, and it seemed that he was the second child who greeted the guests, and he asked with a smile: "This master, is it to eat or stay in the hotel?" β
Longxiang Inn is the most mixed inn in the capital, and the reason why Helian City stays here is precisely because this inn is lively, but it is not easy to be targeted.
"I'm looking for someone."
"What are you looking for?" Xiao Er asked politely.
"It's fromβ"
"Brother Bian, please come up." Before Bian Yi finished speaking, someone called him from the second floor, Bian Yi looked up, it was Ambusi, Ambusi had been following Helian Cheng's side that day, and he had an impression. As soon as he hugged his fist, he went up to the second floor.
Ambusi took Bian Yi to the top room, and when he opened the door, there was only Helian Cheng inside, Ambusi made a gesture of invitation and stood at the door, and Bian Yi stepped in.
"Helian Khan, you're not coming as fast as I thought." Bian Yi said with a smile. In fact, he didn't know that Helian Cheng was too late because he wanted to take Chu Xiangwan away.
"Something is delayed on the way." Helian Cheng also smiled, and he continued to ask, "Commander Bian came today to spread the word for your master, right?" β
"Yes, the master said, three days later, at the right time, I will see you in the left side of Shangyang Mountain." Bian Yi Zhengse said.
"Why are you in the Courtyard on your left? It's weird. Helian Cheng didn't expect Bian Yi to give such a place, and he was really puzzled.
"It is said that it is the Zuo Xiang Courtyard, in fact, the emperor has gone up more than the Zuo Xiang over the years, and it is not for the imperial concubine" Bian Yi closed his mouth, two years ago the emperor thought that the imperial concubine was no longer alive, so he built a clothed mound for the imperial concubine next to the tomb of the imperial concubine in Shangyang Mountain, and often went to worship, but it was the Zuo Xiang, who has never been to the courtyard of Shangyang Mountain since he quit the court.
Helian Cheng's hand tightened, and he blurted out: "Are you talking about Chu Huaifeng, the father of the imperial concubine?" β
"Helian Khan really knows a lot about my Great Zhou." Bian Yi looked sideways, and always felt that Helian Cheng knew a lot about the imperial concubine.
"Oh, Commander Bian has won the award, but the front and harem have always been involved in the whole body, I need to understand clearly, wouldn't it be funny if you talk nonsense in front of your master?" Helian Cheng concealed his expression, it turned out that the place where he and Huangfu Jingwen were going to meet was actually owned by Chu Xiangwan's father, and they were all pulled together.
"Compared to the Great Khan, we really know very little about the Xiongnu." Bian Yi clenched his fists and bowed his head again, but there was caution in his words.
"In the future, when the emperor Jingyao is resolved, I, the Huns, welcome Commander Bian to come as a guest." Helian Cheng said with a smile.
"Helian Khan is polite, if you have the opportunity, you must go to the Xiongnu to feel the grassland style. Leave. Bian Yi turned around and went out and left the inn directly.
The two of them actually knew in their hearts that if the Huangfu Jingyao was resolved, the relationship between Helian City and Huangfu Jingwen would definitely not be better than now, and maybe there would be a bigger war, but they couldn't pierce this layer of window paper, they were in a cooperative relationship now, and the future would be talked about later.
