Chapter 274: Ambition is never dead
Yan Yong didn't think that Yan Chi could really use the means to reach the sky.
On this day, he went to see Yue Guogong, and after returning home, he still went directly into the main room of the inner house as in the past, and the Huang family changed his clothes by himself, he saw that the Huang family seemed to hesitate, so he said in a low voice: "Jun'er is our eldest son, although there are etiquette restrictions, I can't serve him in front of people, but at home, I don't see outsiders, so let's wear plain clothes for him." β
A sentence almost didn't make Huang's tears fall, and when she tied the knot for Yan Yong, her fingers and wrists trembled so much, she gritted her teeth desperately and endured it, holding the cruel words in her throat, and sighed: "Yan Chi will not let us go, but in order to deal with him, the officials take such a big risk...... It's better to listen to Hong'er's plan and plan it more securely. β
"If you don't avenge Jun'er's blood and hatred for a day, you can't sleep comfortably, I empathize with you, and I really can't bear the evil deeds of Yan Chi, a rebel! Hong'er has his methods, I have my plan, Ah Feng can rest assured, I will be more careful, just play the role of matchmaking and liaison in the middle. β
Huang lowered his eyelids, when Yan Yong was better dressed, his hand simply held Yan Yong's fingers, the two of them sat side by side on a soft couch, and Huang leaned against Yan Yong: "Yue Guogong plans to join forces with Rong Guogong?" β
"The first to do it is Yue Guogong." Yan Yong said in a deep voice: "The Duke of Yue Guo is finally willing to tell me the truth, it turns out that Xu Chunyang is actually the Jin Wangfu recommended by the Minister of Yue Guo. β
Huang Shi was taken aback, and raised his head from Yan Yong's shoulder: "Why did Yue Guogong do this? If it weren't for Xu Chunyang, how could the official family decide to let the crown prince preside over the state affairs of the Qing Dynasty? β
"It's just to force Rong Guogong to make another plan." Yan Yong's voice became deeper and lower: "Zhou Shengren doesn't have much ambition, thinking that in the future, she will be the queen mother, even if Rongguo Gong is not as important as Xingguo Gong and the future son of heaven, Rongguo Mansion will not be down." But Rong Guogong didn't think so, Yue Guogong knew in his heart that Rong Guogong and Sima Quan had been fighting openly and secretly, and Rong Guogong was unwilling to be pressed by Sima Quan all the time. β
"Didn't the queen and the concubine have a deeper disagreement in the past?"
"At this time and at that time, and Yue Guogong and Rong Guogong obviously have their own plans, and the person Yue Guogong wants to support will not be the Eighth Prince."
"Then there is only King Huai." Huang frowned: "The friendship between King Huai and the Sima family is deeper than that of the Luo family. β
"It's the King of Qinghe."
Huang raised his eyebrows: "How can King Qinghe ......"
"What if the prince's son dies?"
"Yue Guogong wants to directly cause the prince to have no queen?!"
"Yue Guogong didn't tell me the specific plan, what he needs to fight for now is to unite Rong Guogong when the incident said to abolish the reserve, I expected, Yue Guogong is to stabilize the pulse of the official family, and the official family is the heir, but the princes who are married today, only the prince of Qinghe is the most abundant, Princess Qinghe is pregnant again, and a concubine of the Qinghe palace is also pregnant. King Qinghe was able to suffer from hysteria back then, and now he can recover from hysteria, just like Yan Chi...... Isn't he a madman now no different from ordinary people? Most of the Duke of Yue Guo completely figured out why King Qinghe was deposed, and firmly believed that as long as the official family was willing, King Qinghe's hysteria could be recovered. β
"Will Yan Chi protect the prince's position?" Huang's concern is not who can ascend the throne, what she cares about is whether Yan Chi will also see the wind and rudder, if Rong Guogong persuades Yan Chi to be an alliance, and it is the eighth prince who wins in the end...... Yan Chi can still be in a high position!!
"I will persuade Rong Guogong to hide in the shadows, and only put the prince to death at a critical time, so that Yue Guogong's plan will not succeed, and Rongguo Gong's mansion will not be implicated. Yan Chi will not ally with Yue Guogong, and Yue Guogong will not deliberately win over Yan Chi, because Yan Chi once sat back and watched King Qinghe be deposed, and Yue Guogong was already suspecting that King Qinghe's loss of power was promoted by Yan Chi. As long as Yan Chi stands in the prince's camp, Rong Guogong will no longer have the idea of winning him over. β
Huang let out a long sigh of relief.
was relieved, but immediately remembered another trouble: "I don't think Sixteen Niang is bad, but her father and mother ...... is really insatiable, despicable and shameless, if Hong'er really marries Sixteen Niang, Mei Renxing and his wife are afraid that they will always stay in the Guogong Mansion, and they will also have to be powerful. β
"Hong'er wants to serve his brother for September, and before that time is officially discussed, maybe everything has already settled, and we can still be threatened by the surname Mei? Don't worry, as long as everything goes well, I will never let Mei enter the door of my Yan family again! β
Yan Hong was looking at the pair of black cloth boots that the woman was shy about handing him at this time, but he didn't take them, his face was cold.
"I know that although Yan Dalang deserves it, but the fourth cousin still has to serve him, I can't make other fancy shoes for these shoes, I just begged the fourth cousin to wear out the old shoes that I plan to discard, pay attention to the difference in the wear and tear of the soles, and estimate that the fourth cousin should feel the fit of these shoes." The wind in this season is warmer, blowing between the branches, a falling flower is stained on Mei Weisheng's bun, the falling flowers are still, the flying is the water-colored skirt corner, her white hands are holding jet-black shoes, and her lively eyes can't see the coldness on Yan Hong's face at all.
"Why does Little Lady Mei make shoes for a foreign man for me? Little lady Mei should understand, I am actually not your cousin, my foreign family is Huangmen, not Meimen. β
"Fourth cousin, although you are in service, Duke Yi and Mrs. Huang have already made a verbal agreement with my father and mother, and we will be husband and wife in the future...... I'm not making shoes for foreign men. β
Yan Hong had never heard that he already had a fiancΓ©e.
But he knew what was going on, from the "coincidence" in the flower garden that night, to today, he directly broke the window and said bright words, in order to be the wife of the prince of Yiguo.
His parents definitely didn't want to be threatened, but who let Mei Renxing's family recruit them themselves?
Yan Hong lowered his eyelids: "The order of the parents, is the little lady Mei really willing to obey?" β
"Yes, as a child, of course you have to obey the order of your elders in marriage matters."
Yan Hong smiled and took the shoes.
He obeys, but he doesn't need to stay at home, and he won't refuse to give it to him, because he is not dead parents but just dead brother, Yan Hong is actually going to go out today, he is almost about to be awarded, and there are some affairs in office, he has to consult more experienced people. So Yan Hong only handed the shoes in his hand to the little guy who was going to go out with him: "You take it first, and then put it in the concierge later." β
At the corner gate, he met the eldest sister-in-law again, still polite, ignoring the hateful gaze of the eldest sister-in-law, Yan Hong did not make any more noise, some things and some people he couldn't take care of, he could only do what he really wanted to do.
Yan Hong has not arrived at the house of the person he wants to visit today, passing through a certain winding mouth, only to see a bunch of cloth idlers around and do not know what to discuss, he did not pay attention, but heard the word "counterfeit money" clearly, Yan Hong asked the little guy to ask carefully, he also got off the horse, stood in the shade of a tree, waited for a long time, saw the little guy coming.
"The prince said that this thing is not strange, it turned out to be a common people, on the day of the groundbreaking ceremony of Yonghe Palace, he got a congratulatory coin, and he played with it in his hand all day long, how did he know that the gold coin was played with faded, and the man took it out and told the neighbors like a strange story, and the neighbors were discussing, suspecting that he didn't pay attention one day, and was dropped by others with counterfeit money."
Yan Hong heard that it was a congratulatory coin distributed during the imperial court celebration, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
No one dares to counterfeit such a congratulatory coin, and it is not convenient for circulation, so there is no need for counterfeiting.
But the next day, the little guy came to Yan Hong for the matter of the congratulatory coin: "Yesterday the villain listened to the strange story on the street, and when he came back, he chatted with Zuo Da, and it happened that Zuo Da also went to watch the ceremony that day, and was fortunate to get a Xi and Yongsheng coin, so he found it, how did he know that it looked like a little faded, Zuo Da was cross-hearted, and took an iron cone to scrape the gold coin, and actually let the gilt on the top peel off a large piece...... I'm afraid that someone didn't drop the bag, but the court distributed it as a counterfeit money, right? β
Yan Hong asked for the gold coin to inspect it, and first concluded: "Look at the chiseling on the surface of the coin, it is definitely not a forgery, but why is the gilt so easy to fade?" Even if it is scraped with an iron cone, it will not be able to cause such a large peeling off. β
Gilt coins are not pure gold, but the plated gold leaf is a thin sheet of gold hammered into gold, and the gilt on the surface of the bronze object is slow to fade so quickly, and it can only cause filamentous damage if it is pierced with a sharp object, and there will be no flake peeling.
Yan Hong couldn't figure out what was going on.
Fang Qi was also looking at the Xi and Yongsheng coin that August gave her, since she found that the gold coin faded that day, of course, she didn't carry it closely, but just casually discarded this thing in a water bowl, and fished it out today to see, good guy, the fading faded extremely thoroughly, and simply became the true face of a copper coin, and the water in the water bowl did not change color at all, and the layer of "gilding" on the surface of the copper coin did not know what material, it actually volatilized.
But what she knows more than Yan Hong is that this kind of thing must be from Yan Chi's handwriting, of course, this is a secret, and Yan Chi will never let more people know that this kind of thing is related to him.
And the reason why Fang Qi will take this thing out today is because I heard a "terrible legend" from - a rumor that arose out of nowhere, saying that the prince's ruling will cause the society to collapse, and the clearest indication is that Xi and Yongsheng coins will fade, of course, this legend is not widely circulated, and the prince reacted quickly, and he will definitely stifle the rumor at the beginning of life.
Yan Chi's bureau turned out to be a pit for the prince?
The prince was also discussing with Yan Chi at this time.
"It's a conspiracy !!" The prince concluded: "Some people can't hold it anymore, how should they deal with this matter for no reason?" β
"If this is a conspiracy, then the problem must be with the official who supervised the creation of Yongsheng coins, Your Highness, rumors cannot be completely stifled, the minister's suggestion, of course, Your Highness must investigate clearly, and report to the official family in time."
"Your Highness can't look into this matter." Sima Xiu immediately stopped.
Yan Chi glanced at Sima Xiu and simply stopped talking.
"The Wensi Academy, who is responsible for supervising the production of Yongsheng coins, has raised Lu Liyan, and His Royal Highness has personally raised ...... official family" Sima Xiu frowned tightly.
The prince recited Lu Liyan's name and surname several times, and felt that it was familiar but really couldn't remember who this person was.
"It was the father of the family who introduced him to His Royal Highness, if His Royal Highness punishes Lu Liyan, he will definitely be questioned for covering up the warning of the heavens and letting the party members take the blame, as long as His Royal Highness reports to the official family, the official family will inevitably personally inquire into the case, then it will be difficult for His Highness to govern the country."
"Oh, it turns out that it's about Xingguogong." Yan Chi raised his eyebrows: "Then Sima Zhuangyuan thinks that His Royal Highness should do what to fight back against the conspiracy?" β
