Chapter 361: Cai Jun, the guard of the South Gate
Cai Jun Mansion.
Cai Jun dragged his tired body back home from the Changle Marquis Mansion, and as soon as he entered the lobby, the housekeeper immediately came up.
"Sir, do you want to bathe or eat first?"
"Have they all eaten?" Cai Jun asked.
The housekeeper knew that Cai Jun was asking about a few ladies in the mansion, and said, "Except for Mrs. Honglian, the other ladies have already eaten. ”
Cai Jun didn't speak anymore and strode towards Lady Red Lotus's courtyard.
Not long after he left, a woman in Chinese clothes walked quickly into the lobby, glanced left and right, and asked the butler, "Where is the master?" ”
"The master has gone to the fourth lady." The housekeeper laughed secretly, although the news of the second lady was fast, it could only be a step slower.
"That vixen really has the means." The woman in fancy clothes stamped her foot and left angrily.
In Madame Honglian's bedroom, the table is full of exquisite side dishes, and there is a small stove under each dish to keep the dishes warm.
Cai Jun sat at the table and feasted.
He knew that these dishes were all made by his capable concubine, and others could not make this taste.
Behind him, Madam Honglian gently kneaded his shoulders and said faintly: "Master, every time you go to Houfu, when you come back, you always look tired, and the concubine is really distressed to see it." ”
"That's no way, there's been too much going on over there lately." Cai Jun said.
"What the Hou Ye and the master do must be big things, the concubine doesn't dare to persuade anything, I just hope that the master will take care of his body more."
Cai Jun patted her hand on his shoulder and sighed: "I know all this, but since I am an official in the court, sometimes I can't just think about myself." ”
"Having a good official like the lord in the imperial court is really a blessing for all the people of Hangzhou." Honglian smiled and said, "Your Excellency should really let the master be the prime minister." ”
"You little mouth!" Cai Jun laughed and said, "It's a pity that the good days of our people in Hangzhou are coming to an end." ”
"Why is that?" Red Lotus was surprised.
"Now that Wu Yueguo's national strength is declining, and the surrounding area is surrounded by jackals and tigers, I am afraid that there will be a war in a short time." Cai Jun showed a look of worrying about the country and the people.
"But I heard we just won the battle!"
"Who did you listen to?"
"When the concubine went to offer incense today, I heard the people on the street talking about it." Red Lotus replied.
Cai Jun raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "A victory can't change the situation, and now that Hui'an Mansion is about to move, it is likely to attack it immediately." ”
"Can't you bring back the general who won the battle?" Red Lotus said slowly.
"Hmph, he's nothing remarkable, and the uncle won't let him go back to Hangzhou." Cai Jun's expression turned cold.
"But didn't the master say that the Hou Ye has been a little unhappy with the gentleman recently? Will the king agree? ”
Not only is it unpleasant, it is already tense, Cai Jun secretly thought, but Honglian's words are reasonable, and today Changle Hou called him over just to discuss this matter.
There was news from the palace that the king intended to transfer Tang Bian back to Beijing, but Cai Gao was naturally reluctant to let him come back, so he gathered his henchmen to discuss how to stop this.
In the end, Changyang came up with an idea to retreat.
"If the uncle is against it, the king is likely to insist on transferring people back to Hangzhou." Cai Jun raised his eyes and smiled, and said, "But what if the uncle agrees, and he is still very eager?" ”
"That gentleman is probably suspicious, but he didn't transfer that person back to Beijing." Honglian smiled slightly, and her heart was settled.
She is the person from the White Lotus Sect who is mixed with Cai Jun, named Long Yan.
She had just received a task asking her to test Cai Jun and figure out how the Changle Houfu would respond to Tang Bian's matter.
If Cai Gao is stupid and opposes the transfer of Tang Bian back to Hangzhou, he will make a statement to wake up Cai Jun, and then use him to pass the word on to Cai Gao.
But now it seems that Cai Gao is not stupid and has realized this, which saved her some trouble.
Subsequently, Honglian began to serve Cai Jun wholeheartedly, and although this task was completed, she had a more important task on her: to find out where Cai Jun had collected the seals.
……
Anle Palace.
Lu Yuan followed behind Steward Yang and walked through the verandah, when he heard Qian Yu's angry scolding coming from the lobby.
When I entered the lobby, I saw Qian Yu scolding his subordinate Wang Mo.
"Waste, waste! This king shouldn't have listened to you in the first place, but now it's good, Brother Wang's impression of me must have deteriorated again! ”
Saliva splashed his face, and Wang Mo bowed his head and couldn't see his cousin.
Qian Yu heard the footsteps, looked up, and was overjoyed.
Quickly ran to Lu Yuan's side, took Lu Yuan's hand and said, "Mr. Du, you are finally back, I thought you left me!" ”
Wang Mo behind him showed a look of resentment.
Lu Yuan sighed: "I don't want to leave the prince either, but I calculated that if I continue to stay in Hangzhou, there will be a bloody disaster, so I have to leave." ”
"Bloodlight?" Qian Yu was surprised.
"Yes, I had already left Hangzhou, but later I calculated that the prince was in danger, and I really couldn't rest assured that the prince was in danger, so I turned around and returned to Hangzhou."
Qian Yu was greatly moved, and said worriedly: "Isn't that gentleman in danger?" ”
"Lord Wang, don't worry, I'll leave Hangzhou later." Lu Yuan said.
Qian Yu's eyes widened, this is not right, he thought that the other party was going to say something "even if you don't care about your safety, you have to stay by your side", but he didn't expect the other party to be so realistic.
But if you want Qian Yu to ignore the safety of the other party and forcibly keep him by his side, he is a little unspeakable.
Suddenly, his heart moved, and he said: "By the way, sir, the Quanzhen Temple I built for you is about to be repaired, you might as well go and live there, so that it will not be counted in Hangzhou City, and this king can go to you at any time to ask for advice." ”
Lu Yuan pondered for a long time, nodded and said, "It's okay." ”
I thought that when the time came, I would just send a personal guard to the Taoist temple.
Qian Yu breathed a sigh of relief, as far as he was concerned, as long as he could find Mr. Du at any time.
"By the way, Mr. said that this king is in danger, is this king going to fall out of favor on Brother Wang's side again?"
"Nope." Lu Yuan shook his head and said, "The danger comes from one person. ”
"Who?"
"Tang Bian!"
"Is there anything wrong with him?" Qian Yu was puzzled.
Lu Yuan didn't speak, and looked at Wang Mo and Liang Qing behind Qian Yu, Qian Yu suddenly understood, waved his hand unceremoniously and said, "You two go down!" ”
"Then I'll retire." Wang Mo lowered his head and said.
After the two left, Lu Yuan said in a deep voice: "According to my calculations, the king will announce that Tang Bian will be recruited to return to Hangzhou in the next few days, and His Royal Highness must oppose this matter." ”
"Why is that?" Qian Yu shrunk his chin.
"Your Highness, do you know why Your Excellency uses you so much?"
"Didn't Mr. say that Brother Wang wants to use me to deal with Cai Gao?"
"Yes, herein lies the problem!" Lu Yuan said in a deep voice: "How does Your Highness feel that your ability is better than Tang Bian?" ”
Qian Yu pondered for a long time and sighed: "It's slightly inferior." ”
Lu Yuan continued: "Then if Tang Bian returns to Hangzhou, the monarch will inevitably let him deal with Cai Gao, and when the time comes, does His Highness think that the monarch will still favor you like now?" ”
"That's right!" Qian Yu patted his head vigorously and said, "Fortunately, Mr. woke up this king." ”
After a pause, he asked, "Sir, is the king going to meet the king brother immediately?" ”
"Your Highness doesn't need to be impatient, just wait for His Highness to oppose this when His Royal Highness announces this matter."
"Then what is the reason for this?"
Lu Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness, please come over with your ears......"
In the early morning of the next day, King Wu Yue urgently convened his ministers and held a temporary court meeting.
As soon as Qian Yu stood still in the court, he heard Qian Hongyu say loudly: "The widow has decided to summon Tang Bian back to Beijing, what do you think Aiqing?" ”
Cai Shu was the first to come out and said with a smile: "The king is Mingjian, and the minister also thinks that if it is not General Tang, he can't protect Hangzhou!" ”
"The ministers seconded it!" Officials from Tsai's party came out at the same time.
Qian Hongyu frowned, he thought that Cai Gao's party would oppose this matter.
"Brother Wang, my brother thinks it's impossible!" Qian Yu slowly stepped out of the ranks, his face was solemn, and he seemed to have some clever insight.
Seeing his solemn face, Qian Hongyu said, "Tell me your reason." ”
Qian Yulang said: "Although General Tang defeated Qingyuan, but Qingyuan was not seriously injured, if General Tang is transferred back at this time, the Jing Navy will definitely be unstable, if the Qingyuan Army attacks, I am afraid that the Jing Navy will be difficult to resist." If the Jing Navy is defeated, the entire south of our Wu Yue Kingdom may fall into the hands of Qing Yuan! ”
Qian Hongyu nodded secretly, although Qian Yu's words were harsh, there was some truth, which made his original determination to summon Tang Bian back to Beijing a little shaken.
"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks otherwise, at the moment, Hui'an Mansion is about to move, and the Tang State is eyeing it, and the only way to do it is to keep Hangzhou first. At that time, let General Tang train his troops and recapture Muzhou, this is the top priority! Prime Minister Zhu Anming spoke.
"No, if the south is lost, the Tang State and the Hui'an Mansion will definitely send troops to invade the territory, and the situation will be out of control at that time!" Qian Yu argued with reason.
Seeing the two arguing together, Cai Shu showed a good show on the side, and Qian Hongyu was irritable.
"Alright, let the widow think about it again." After speaking, he left the court.
Back in the imperial study, Qian Hongyu immediately sent someone to summon Li Junyi to discuss the matter.
