Chapter 430: Leisurely Life
But now is different from the past, since the southern Xinjiang barbarians were almost forced to rebel in the name of rebellion by the cool officials of Yushitai, the queen has begun to be cautious and vigilant about rebellion, and it is no longer possible to fabricate a crime of rebellion at will as before, which really set off a turmoil. He needs to have conclusive evidence that there is indeed a rebellion, at least this time.
So, he asked Zhang Zhenren, who had been helping him refine the "Rejuvenation Pill" at home, to bewitch Liu Sili, the assassin of Jijun who believed in physiognomy feng shui, and then fooled Qi Lianyao to join the army with Liu Sili, who was bewitched. Qi Lianyao saw Zhang Daoren's "miraculous physiognomy", and saw Liu Sili, who was far above him, respectful to him, and really regarded him as the son of the real dragon, and even began to believe that he was the life of the real dragon, and began to secretly prepare, waiting for the queen to die and the world to be in chaos!
At this point, Tian Chengqian is already ready, but he is still worried that there will be some omissions, once it is traced, if his head is found, he will lose the qualification to compete with Tian Sansi for the imperial heir, it will be more than worth the loss.
Even if he is not traced down, he is reluctant to suffer a loss of his limited power in the court because of this, so this whistleblower must not be his person.
The two brothers Wang Bang and Wang Xue are both Tian Chengqian's people, and Tian Chengqian's mission to Wang Bang is to find a person who has nothing to do with Tian Chengqian's faction and is qualified to report the rebellion to expose this matter, so he went out of Beijing, and he chose his friend Ji Xiang in the same year.
For Tian Chengqian, this is a rare masterpiece in his life: far-sighted, well-planned, and meticulous, which can be described as seamless. It's just that. The situation in Beijing is unpredictable, and he didn't expect that Jun Xiachen's mad dog has not been released. Jiang Dexu fell, and then Yao'er also fell.
Now Jiang Dexu was first demoted to the county lieutenant, and then exiled to Lingnan County, not far out of Beijing, and still trekking hard in the heavy snow, and was transferred back by the queen's decree, squatting on the imperial history platform, and those imperial historians who had been called by him to drink like lackeys under his door became colleagues. And Yao'er was assigned to the dragon gate. I went to watch the baths for the queen, raise horses and grow vegetables.
The information is not synchronized, so that the Wang Gang, who has just arrived in Lin'an, does not know the latest changes in the capital at all. He doesn't have the fast and fast news channels of the Dugu family, and he is still meticulously carrying out the mission assigned to him by Tian Chengqian, and once it gets out, it will set off a bloody storm in the court.
A bloody storm is about to come again. But. In the end of the Qi Dynasty, the bloody wind and rain in the court almost never stopped, perhaps those officials who pursued power and wealth on the tip of the knife have long been used to it......
……
Xue Tangcheng, the soup supervisor of Longmen Hot Springs, carried a tin wine jug, took a sip of Jiannan Roast on the thin crane-neck-like spout, and used chopsticks to order a little salted duck yellow with oil, instigated it, and smiled. In front of him stood three green shirts, all with their sleeves rolled up. The hem of the green shirt is tucked into the belt, and the head is covered with a green cloth. A face of bitterness and hatred.
Xue Tangcheng closed his eyes for a while, then opened his eyes, glared at them impatiently, slapped his chopsticks on the table, and said, "Whoever puts a bitter gourd face to show one by one, what's the matter, say it!" ”
Xu Lushi said with a sad face: "Xue Tangcheng, you are the oldest person in our Longmen Tang Prison, except for Lord Jianzheng, you have the highest authority, so I can only ask you to be the master of this matter." ”
Xue Tangcheng didn't say anything to him, Xu Lushi swallowed his saliva, and whispered, "Last night, I saw ...... I saw that our Yang Tangjian went up the mountain to soak in the hot springs. Go to ...... I went to the side hall of His Royal Highness the Marquis of Changle. ”
Xue Tangcheng smacked his lips and nodded to the next one: "What about you, what's the matter?" ”
This one is Su Zhanggu, Su Zhanggu picked up his sleeves, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said in a snort: "Xue Tangcheng, yesterday's ...... Something is missing from the vegetable garden again. ”
Xue Tangcheng's eyelids lifted and wiped, and he said slowly: "What's missing?" ”
Su Zhanggu immediately bent up: "The villain found early in the morning that half a furrow of leeks was missing, a ridge of camellia was missing, at least thirty cabbage, and a few cowpeas and eggplants. There were two ripe watermelons, and the day before yesterday there were twenty-one ripe golden peaches, and this morning there were only sixteen left. ”
Su Zhanggu said with a sad face: "Tang Cheng, let's take every precaution, even the few horse plague in the corridor don't want to steal a peach, and there were five fewer last night." This...... This is all for the queen to try, and even the princes are not blessed. ”
"Ahem!"
Xue Tangcheng covered his mouth and coughed, and said slowly: "Since our new soup supervisor took office, he has taken good care of his brothers. ......Well, this sword burns in the south, and you also get a few altars. Delicious, right? Such a famous wine. To be honest, if it weren't for the soup supervisor's reward, we wouldn't be willing to buy it ourselves, would we? ”
The few people in front of him blinked their eyes and nodded blankly.
Xue Tangcheng said again: "Look, the fat cook in Yang Tangjian's family has a good craft. Since I ate the food he cooked, the ones we used to make ourselves...... It's simply pig food. Now, Yang Tangjian didn't eat alone, and he gave us a share of cooking every day. ”
"Ang ......"
A few of his subordinates vaguely understood.
Xue Tangcheng continued to guide patiently: "Early this morning, the fourth brother and his brother braved the heavy snow to deliver food to the palace, and Yang Tangcheng gave a reward, right?" Changed to before. This is what you should do, you deserve to freeze to death, who will reward you? ”
Xue Tangcheng took another sip of wine: "So......, Yang Tang Supervisor is sympathetic to his brothers, and the brothers have to work hard, and they can't let Yang Tang Supervisor worry about it, you say yes!" So what about this......"
Xue Tangcheng said thoughtfully: "If you want to say stealing, it is estimated that it was stolen by those horse plagues." Those little guys. Monkey spirits, monkey spirits, you have to pay more attention to them in the future. Lock it up at night, huh? This time, don't let the soup supervisor know, lest Yang Tang Jian bother, you guys are all tight, you know? ”
"Oh......"
Xu Lushi and Su Zhanggu turned around blankly and walked out of Xue Tangcheng's room. Standing in the middle of a white snow, I forgot for a moment what I was doing.
Xue Tangcheng sent them out and let out a long sigh. Just picked up the chopsticks and wanted to take another bite of duck egg yolk, when he suddenly saw a pestle in front of the table, which startled him: "Liu Nian, what are you doing here?" ”
Liu Nian was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, and after listening to Xue Tangcheng's words, he grinned. I wanted to laugh, but I didn't dare: "Tang Cheng, the little one has something to report." Can...... But I haven't had time to say it yet. ”
Xue Tangcheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Oh, what's the matter with you?" ”
Liu Nian said: "Tang Jian ......"
Xue Tangcheng's face tightened, and he hurriedly stood up and asked, "What's wrong with Lord Tang Supervisor?" ”
Liu Nian smiled dryly: "A group of friends from the soup supervisor...... And children...... It's up the hill......"
Xue Tangcheng staggered: "Where are you?" ”
Liu Nian said curtly: "I've already gone up the mountain." Now the soup supervisor is probably arranging a place for them to live. ”
"You hapless boy. Why didn't you say it earlier! ”
Xue Tangcheng was in a hurry, rushed over and hugged Liu Nian on the back of the head is a slap, and shouted: "Get out!" Get out! ”
Liu Nian hugged his head and scurried, Xue Tangcheng sighed and said: "It is rare for Changle Hou to go to the mountain, you can use his palace to take a hot spring." What about stealing vegetables...... I just didn't look at stealing two vegetables, but the golden peach tree was just like this, and the ancestors only bore a few fruits, and they had to be offered to the Son of Heaven and the crown prince and the princes and princes during the Shangyuan Festival. If you come like this twice, we won't be able to explain it to the above. Right now...... You even brought your family with you, how is that good? ”
The more Xue Tangcheng thought about it, the more headache he felt. After a long time, he finally stomped his feet, rushed out of the door, and went straight to Yao'er's residence.
Yao'er took Yu Qi, Xiaozhuo's mother and son and Shen Rendrunk to Longmen, she lived here for a few days, doing nothing every day, the gods and goddesses were free, when they were full, they went to see the snow, and when they saw the eyes, they went to the greenhouse to see the fruits and vegetables, and after practice, she came to a scientific conclusion that was more green and eye-catching.
Every morning, afternoon, and evening, she goes to the hot springs. The location of the hot springs is different, sometimes it is assigned to the bedroom of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, sometimes it is assigned to the bedroom of the prince, sometimes it is assigned to the bedroom of a princess, she feels the same, at most the size of the bath pool is a little different, and the carvings in the room are not very similar.
After a few days like this, one day, she caressed her skin that had become unusually smooth because of the hot springs, and then looked at the third sister and Liu Mei, who had become more watery because of the frequent hot springs, and suddenly felt that Sister Xiaozhuo would also like the soup bath, maybe Yu Bazi's kid would also like it.
Since there are benefits, of course, the family should enjoy them, and only bring some fruits, vegetables and vegetables back to the family, which is not a style of sharing blessings.
Now, the family and friends have arrived, and Yao'er is holding Xiaozhuo's precious son in her arms and is excitedly leading them to tour her kingdom.
She had just taken the family to visit the greenhouse where melons, fruits and vegetables were grown, and when they came out of it, there was one less ripe golden peach on the tree, and now Yu Ba was comfortably waiting for his wife to chew the peach flesh and give him the delicious peach juice to eat.
"Touch it, slide it! Hehe, I found out on the first day, it's really strange, soaking in the hot springs, the skin is slippery, as if you have applied a layer of slippery powder, you will know when you soak in it. ”
Yao'er said, and had already walked to the side of the horse corridor: "Forget it here, there are royal horses here, and the smell in the horse shed is not very good, let's ......"
Yao'er didn't expect that she had brought snacks every day in the past few days to satisfy the hunger of the horse plague avoidance, and those monkey spirits had already heard her voice. She was talking outside. The horse plague who heard her voice ran out one after another, scratching their ears and cheeks with joy, and squeaking and screaming.
"I didn't bring anything to eat today, go and go, go farther!"
Yao'er said while leaving, not wanting those monkeys to have a seizure, but the little ancestor of the Yu family stopped doing it.
Since a few monkeys came out of the corridor, Yu Bazi, who was lying in his arms steadily, stared at the monkeys like copper bells, and stared at those monkeys for a moment, and as soon as Yao'er turned around, the little guy immediately grinned, and tears rolled down.
Yao'er was so angry and funny, so she had to hug and turn around, and said, "Woo woo, show it to you, don't cry!" ”
The child's tears came and fell quickly, and when he saw the monkeys again, he immediately stopped crying, and was still sobbing, and his mouth was grinning at the base of his ears.
At this moment, a Tsing Yi guard came from a distance and stood beside him. Yao'er glanced at him, handed the child to Xiao Zhuo, and said, "Oh, you hold it, be careful, the monkey is naughty, don't scratch him." ”
Yao'er walked towards the man. When he got closer, the man immediately said solemnly: "Sect Master! ”
Yao'er waved her hand, walked away with him, and asked in a low voice, "Those artists, can you find them?" ”
When Yao'er was in Lin'an that day to visit the east and west of the city, he saw a juggler performing illusions similar to Taoists and Hanoi old nuns, at that time he rewarded a little more money, asked them about their skills, and knew that they still have masters, and the illusion techniques are a few more clever than them, but their masters also travel the world, and they don't know where they are at this time.
Yao'er kept this incident in mind at that time, and told Mi Zixuan to contact these artists, be sure to find their master, and hire them to Lin'an with a heavy gift.
Yao'er wants to debunk the tricks of the three god sticks, and take this opportunity to cut off the last line of life that Ouyang Yuyan used to survive, then she not only has to get the evidence of the three god sticks for corrupting the gang and collecting ill-gotten gains, but more importantly, she has to expose their tricks, otherwise the queen will be their biggest umbrella.
If they don't fall, how can they cut off Ouyang Yuyan's last hope?
This Tsing Yi man stayed in Lin'an on her orders to wait for news, and as soon as she saw her coming, Yao'er knew that there was a result.
The Tsing Yi said: "I have found their ancestor and invited that capable person from the rivers and lakes, and now he is on the way to Lin'an, and his subordinates have come first to give a return to the sect master, so as not to worry the sect master." ”
When Yao'er heard this, she immediately became excited, when she was in danger, Ouyang Yuyan couldn't help but didn't jump out, when she was assigned to the dragon gate and became a soup supervisor who watched the spring and raised circus monkeys to guard the mountain, Ouyang Yuyan still couldn't help but didn't jump out. It seems that after frequent losses, Ouyang Yuyan's arrogance has been greatly reduced.
Yao'er turned her eyes sideways and glanced at Yu Bazi, who was having a good time, if Ouyang Yuyan was hidden deep under the Nine Grounds, Yao'er would not be able to pull her out even if she had the ability to reach the sky, so naturally she would not be able to rescue Yu Jiu, but this time, if her tail was cut off, would she still be able to bear it?
Xue Tangcheng was carrying a robe, one foot deep and one foot shallow was walking up the slope, and a small official in a green robe ran over from afar, this person was Tang Shi Li Ji of the hot spring soup supervisor, he was not young, his skills were extremely flexible, and he jumped like a big grasshopper. When he saw Xue Tangcheng from afar, Li Ji called out: "Tang Cheng! Tang Cheng! ”
Xue Tangcheng stood still, turned his head to look back, squinted his eyes to see the person who came, and said, "What are you yelling for?" ”
Li Ji ran up to him and panted and said, "Tang Cheng! Her Royal Highness the Princess and Manager Pei have arrived and are going to stay in Longmen for a few days. (To be continued......)
