Chapter 942: Taking Advantage
The spring sun warms the earth, the fresh green shoots stretch the waist in the spring breeze, the morning market is full of people, a fat aunt points to the meat strips on the meat stall, and asks the boss to help her cut it, next to a thin man holding the pork ribs on the stall, while saying to the boss, "Lao Liu!" Have you heard, the Yang family's house was robbed last night! ”
"I've heard about it!" The boss grabbed the meat strips and cut the catties of meat that the fat aunt wanted, and said to the man, "I also know that the thieves are from the Northern Qi Dynasty!" ”
"You say, what do these gentlings want to do when they run into the mansion of the Marquis of Fuyang?"
They are not thieves, so how do they know what is in the heart of a thief?
"However, the Fuyang Hou Mansion is also a relative, even if the house is raided, I'm afraid there are still some good things left in the house, right?"
There was a lot of talk in the morning market.
In the court, the courtiers were foaming at the mouth, Fan Amber stood behind the throne, from his position, it can be clearly seen that the emperor's hand on the armrest is impatiently tapping, according to his experience of following the emperor for many years, the emperor is probably on the verge of being angry and ready to attack.
"You don't have to quarrel anymore, this person was arrested in the Yang Mansion, what else is there to say?"
"If you go back to the emperor, the lower officials remember that the envoy who came back had a good relationship with the Marquis of Fuyang, and he probably went to worship the Marquis of Fuyang at night......" The official who spoke was unable to speak with the cold gaze of the emperor and the mocking eyes of his colleagues.
Have a friendship? If Fuyang Hou really has such a deep friendship with a Northern Qi official, why did he establish a friendship? If you want to worship the Marquis of Fuyang, it's not impossible. But shouldn't it be when you arrive in Dayan, you will come to the door to offer condolences? How did it drag on until now, when it was neither early nor late to go to the door to worship? Or pick a big night out? Why can't you come to the door in the open during the day?
The Fuyang Hou family was raided, and if the envoys of the Northern Qi Dynasty wanted to worship the deceased, they should also talk to the officials of the Sifang Pavilion, and they would report back to the palace, and after getting the letter, they would help them prepare the sacrifices for worship.
Is this the behavior of a person who is going to pay homage to the deceased?
Dali Temple, Temple Cheng and the Criminal Department are all standing with their hands down. It was not involved in the disputes that arose among his colleagues. The emperor looked at them both and said, "All right, you can go." Check things out. Other than that. The Ministry of Rites drafted an order for me to question the wolf lord of Northern Qi, and he sent an envoy from Dayan. Whether it was on his own initiative or at his behest. ”
The emperor's series of measures went down, and the courtiers couldn't care about quarreling, so they each took an errand and retreated, and the history of the Sifang Pavilion stepped forward to ask for guilt.
What a disaster! The history of the Sifang Pavilion really wants to cry without tears, the guards of the Sifang Pavilion are just decorations, it's okay to scare the little people, and ask them to face the brave and good fighters of the Northern Qi people on the grassland, or the Dongjing people, don't be funny!
The envoys of the Northern Qi Dynasty sneaked out, even if the guards saw it, could they stop it? Yes, they should be stopped, even if they are killed, they should make a noise to stop people.
The emperor looked at the history of the Sifang Pavilion and asked the Si Cheng of Dali Temple, "What should the history of the Sifang Pavilion and the guards of the Sifang Pavilion do?" ”
"They are derelict in their duties, but to be honest, those who can be sent abroad as envoys are valued, and the history of the Sifang Pavilion treats them as gentlemen, and no one thought that they would be willing to be thieves. But in the end, it was a negligence, and it was not discovered early, so it was a dereliction of duty! "Dali Temple and Siqing said,
The emperor was noncommittal, but the history of the Sifang Pavilion quietly arched his hand with the two of them, thanked them for their lightness, and Yan Shoufu coughed twice, and said, "Your Majesty, in the end, it is an envoy of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and it is not good to let them stay in prison for a long time." ”
While talking, a royal guard came to report that it was an envoy from the Northern Qi Dynasty who asked to see him.
The envoy of the Northern Qi Dynasty was naturally more than one, the person who was arrested in the prison was called Wei Di, who had followed the left-wing wolf king to Dayan before, but the envoy who took the lead was someone else, he heard that Wei Di and his group were arrested in prison, so he hurriedly went to their room to find someone, and saw that the beds in the house were neatly arranged, obviously no one had moved.
Wei Di relied on being a relative of the left-wing wolf king, and he didn't take him as a righteous envoy everywhere, which would cause trouble, and he had to finish it up for him by himself.
Northern Qi was so angry that he was half dead, but he couldn't show it at all.
Seeing Emperor Dayan, even if he was reluctant, he could only obediently kneel down and plead, saying that his mouth was dry and he still didn't see the emperor give a reaction.
Du Xiang opened his mouth and said, "Although the Marquis of Fuyang has violated the law of the Great Yan Kingdom, he is still a citizen of the Great Swallow in the end, and he was once a relative, although the Yang family was raided, but outsiders are not allowed to be bullied, what do you want to do when the night is dark and the wind is high, and sneak into the Yang family?" Dare to ask the envoy what his intention is? ”
If the envoy of Northern Qi could know, he would not be standing here now, being embarrassed to be asked! After a sneering reply, Xin Xiang opened his mouth to speak for him, "If Lord Wei knew about this Lord Wei's plan, he would have stopped people a long time ago." Do you say yes, sir? ”
The envoy of Northern Qi hurriedly said yes, Xin Xiang is really a good person in his eyes!
Xie Xiang watched from the sidelines, scolding the nerd, these two are tricking you to trap you! You still treat him like a good person! Tut! But despite this, Xie Xiang didn't make a sound, and the emperor sat on it and watched! He dared to help a foreigner in front of the emperor, and don't blame the emperor for killing him when he turns around.
Fang Xiang wanted to remind the Northern Qi Zheng envoy that the person who came was a guest! But on second thought, why bother? Although he made a lot of money by doing business with the Northern Qi people last time, compared to Fuyang Hou, the little money he earned was not enough for others to stuff their teeth! That is to say, even if Fuyang Hou makes more money, it is useless now, his home has been raided, people have died, and the surviving Yang family itself is still difficult to protect, who has the kung fu to burn paper for him!
The emperor and Yan Shoufu both laughed at Du Xiang and Xin Xiang's performances, and the corners of Fan Amber and his colleagues' mouths twitched slightly, are you really good at cheating people like this?
When the envoy of Northern Qi followed the chief eunuch to leave, his brain was still a little dazed, until he entered the prison of Dali Temple and saw Wei Di and others sitting in the cell, he reacted, he seemed to have been pitted by those two prime ministers? How could he agree, he would send someone to return to Northern Qi tomorrow and inform the wolf lord of the matter. And the rest of them stayed in Dayan with Wei Di and the others, waiting for the wolf lord to reply to the news?
Those two old foxes!
What are they going to do?
A month later, the news that the wolf lord of Northern Qi came back from Dayan was so angry that he almost cut down the attendant who sent the news back to Northern Qi!
They don't want to be so brainless! Even if they are caught, as long as they bite to death and do not admit that they are going to be thieves, what can the Dayan people tolerate them? It's a pity that Weidi doesn't have that guts~
The wolf lord of Northern Qi didn't know that Wei Di first scared himself, and then was stunned by an old man. Wait for him to wake up. Everything is a foregone conclusion, he and his subordinates are sneaking into the Yang family to be thieves, and there is no need for them to confess, there is no need to quibble about the facts. In fact, no one listened to him.
When Du Xiang left the Northern Qi envoys behind Dayan. Dali Temple, they have already taken out the words from Wei Di's men. It doesn't matter what Wady says.
But these are all later words, right now, after the Northern Qi is making a reaction. Seeing that Wei Di was still unconscious, he asked the others to take care of him more, and after he went back, he asked people to send clothes and food to the cell, whether they could be sent in or not, it was always a concern for his comrades.
The officials of Dali Temple did not make it difficult, what they sent, they took it all according to the order, and sent it all in, and those subordinates of Weidi saw the clothes and bedding sent, but they were a little frightened.
When Wady woke up and learned of this, he couldn't help but scold him for being uneasy and kind, and he didn't want to save them, but instead of sending so many things, he planned to let them live in prison.
After Fan Anbo left the palace, he came to Du Mansion, Du Yunxun was painting in the studio, Fan Anbo asked the little guy to pass on, walked into the studio, hung on the canvas on the wall, it was the capital at sunrise, the rows of houses sparkled in the morning light, the western mountains in the distance were lush, and the sails on the Tongzhou wharf were dotted.
"Don't let the emperor know about this painting." Otherwise, it will be robbed into the palace and stored again.
Du Yunxun glanced at him, "If you don't say it, how will he know?" ”
Don't think he doesn't know, his brother-in-law is good at everything, but he has a fast mouth, and every time he sees his new paintings, he can't help but talk in front of the emperor when he looks back.
Fan Anbo sneered, "Who made the emperor use the agitation method every time." "In front of the emperor, there is no flaw, and one has to be made, and it has to be obvious that it is difficult to change, otherwise how can the emperor use him with confidence?
Du Yunxun snorted and didn't pierce him, "This painting is meant to be a birthday gift for my grandfather, but it took me a lot of effort, and I hope Changqing's subordinates will show mercy." ”
Fan Amber coughed lightly and said, "Do you have any other paintings?" Turning around, the emperor asked, I can take another painting in the past? ”
The reason why he came was because the emperor hinted that he came, and when the emperor asked, he really couldn't prevaricate about the past.
Du Yunxun pointed to the cabinet next to the wall, "Go over it yourself!" Recently, Ah Zhao is trying new pigments, I tried a few, you can take a look! ”
Fan Amber walked to the cabinet and flipped through it, not forgetting to talk about the Northern Qi envoy's sneaking into Yang's mansion last night.
"I remember that there was a rumor that Northern Qi paid one million taels to the Marquis of Fuyang, saying that he wanted to buy something, but in the end, the money disappeared, and the things that Northern Qi wanted to buy were gone.
Fan Amber took out a picture of a hundred flowers in spring from the cabinet, put it on the table and looked at it, and said, "Who knows, but what is certain is that the things that Fuyang Hou sold to the people of Northern Qi are not simple. ”
Of course, it is not simple, at present, the countries also have the steelmaking technique of Dayan, and if you want to make sophisticated weapons, this steelmaking technique is indispensable, Du Yunxun pursed his lips and dipped the oil paintbrush on the palette a few times, and tapped the handle on the canvas, and immediately painted the rows of roof tiles in the capital to divide the levels, not the flat ones.
"I want this painting!" Fan Amber pointed to the spring flowers.
Hearing this, Du Yunxun turned his head and looked at it, "Cheng, one thousand taels." ”
"You're robbing money?"
"I have two sons to raise!" Du Yunxun reminded him, and Fan Amber smacked him and took out the silver ticket to him. "Go back and help me tell Ah Zhao, her sister-in-law's birthday is coming, let her help me paint a picture for her."
Du Yun didn't say a word, and stretched out his hand to him, "Thank you, a thousand taels." ”
"Isn't this just for you?"
"That's a picture of a hundred flowers in spring, if you want Ah Zhao to draw it, you naturally have to give her money." Fan Amber was about to say something, but Du Yun said, "My brothers have settled their accounts, so outsiders will naturally not be able to repay their debts!" ”
"What's the matter, someone wants to take advantage of Ah Zhao?" Otherwise, when did this guy love money so much that he even dared to accept his brother-in-law's money? Aren't you afraid that he will turn around and ask Ah Zhao to clean him up?
"It's a few old women who didn't have long eyes who followed my grandmother to visit the door that day, it's okay, and my grandmother knows it." Du Yunxun easily skipped it, and Fan Anbai said in his heart, since it was brought by his grandmother, then he went back to Ding's house to ask. (To be continued.) )
