Chapter 52: Chen Yao's Persuasion
Speaking of this, Chen Yao paused slightly, looked at the flickering candlelight on the table in the room, sighed slightly, and said, "What's more, now the palace is full of people from the emperor and the crown prince." We have to be careful in everything we do until these people are cleaned up. These people don't care about themselves, but their hands and eyes are all up to the sky. ”
"These people are not idiots, as long as the equation enters the house, with their means and the dense net of the world, it is easy to find out some things along the way. Especially your big brother who wants to find fault with you when he has nothing to do, and wants to kill you at any time. If there is any stranger in the house, he will definitely find out. ”
"What's more, there is also the emperor who is worried about your contact with the old prince's old department. After you leave the palace, whether you will only eat, drink and have fun, or be as debauched and uninhibited as King Yong, it is nothing to the emperor. At most, he can raise a son for nothing. Anyway, the whole world is his, and you are not the only one. ”
"For him, the biggest worry is that you are in contact with the old prince's old ministry and want to do something that you shouldn't do, or even think about, at least in his opinion. You have just left the palace now, and this is a sensitive time, and it is also the time when the emperor is most worried. ”
"At least until he finds out your true temperament, every time someone is added to the mansion, it will arouse the emperor's suspicion. The situation of the equation in the past few years, after I entered the palace with the young lady, I have never seen it, so I don't know it. But he was a mixed yuan hand in the rivers and lakes back then, and he could be regarded as the number one person. Although it cannot be said that acquaintances are all over the world, there are definitely not a few. ”
"The people in the rivers and lakes of this dynasty, although many people are very repulsive to the imperial court. As the saying goes, learn to become a martial artist or sell the emperor's family. Those who want to serve a wealthy person in the imperial court are not only those literati. There are not a few people who serve the government, especially the royal family. Once his identity is recognized, it will be difficult for not only you, but even the young lady to deal with it. ”
"After two days, when the watchers outside are more relaxed, I will find an opportunity to go out again in the evening to test his mind. As for the moment, it can only be temporarily relieved. Even if there is that Jia Quan's matter as a foreshadowing, I'm afraid now is not the time. ”
"Emperor Taizu of this dynasty, although he was born in half of the rivers and lakes. But after the world was settled, because the Shaolin Temple was involved in the Qi and Tang Dynasty disputes, it was extremely wary of people in the rivers and lakes. From the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the permanent system was set, and people in the rivers and lakes, whether they were in the army or in the imperial examination, must dissociate themselves from the original sect, otherwise they will be killed once they are found out. ”
"The purpose of this dynasty for the people of the rivers and lakes is not only to use, but also to guard. This article, whether it is the emperor's accession to the throne, has not changed in any way. Once any abnormal movement is found in the people of the rivers and lakes, they will be killed immediately and will not leave any trouble. No matter how high the martial arts of the people in the rivers and lakes are, how can they resist the thousands of troops and horses of the imperial court? ”
"At that time, the Shaolin Temple, which was known as the world's martial arts out of Shaolin, was not only a master like a cloud, but also three thousand monks and soldiers in the temple who were also not weak. Although three thousand may be an imaginary number, at least one or two thousand people still have it. Looking at the entire rivers and lakes, such a powerful sect can be described as unique. ”
"After the Battle of Chenzhou, because Shaolin Temple has always been respected and worshiped by the former Tang royal family since the time of Taizong of the former Tang Dynasty, regardless of the identity of outsiders, they were involved in things that they should not be involved in. In order to restore the decline of the former Tang Dynasty, under the repeated requests of the former Tang Emperor Xizong, several masters were sent to assassinate the then commander of the Qi army, the king of Guilin. ”
"Although the king of Guilin was protected by two martial arts masters and concubines, he was also seriously injured, and the two concubines also died. The assassination of the king of Guilin made the crown prince who was disrupted with his next intention, and the later Emperor Taizong was greatly enraged. even suspended the war in the east out of Shandong, and dispatched 20,000 iron cavalry to encircle and suppress the Shaolin Temple. ”
"Although there are 3,000 monks and soldiers in Shaolin Temple, and there are no less than 100 masters, there are tens of thousands of battle-hardened iron cavalry opponents. Those big masters and monks didn't even make a splash in front of the 20,000 iron horsemen. The entire Songshan Mountain was washed in blood, the monks were almost killed, and the heads were piled up at the foot of Songshan to make a Jingguan to warn the people of the world. ”
If it weren't for the recuperating king of Guilin County who was recuperating several times to write to the prince to intercede, this famous mountain and ancient temple, known as the ancestor of Zen Buddhism, would have been razed to the ground long ago. It has been more than 100 years since the founding of the country, and the Shaolin Temple, which was full of masters, is still in a slump. In the rivers and lakes, it is almost difficult not to see the traces of Shaolin disciples. ”
"Although he is also a master of equations, how is it compared to the Shaolin Temple back then? Once the court finds out that he has colluded with the prince, I am afraid that he will immediately suffer a catastrophe. The imperial court has never been soft in this regard, whether it is the emperor in power, or even when the old prince is here. Even the dim-witted Emperors Rijong and Sejong never let their guard down during their reigns. ”
"And every time an unfamiliar face appears around you, without the emperor coming forward, the prince will definitely find a way to find out first. Don't underestimate your brothers, none of them are good stubbles. Even if he is the Eternal King, is he really a drunken man as he seems on the surface? Little master, it's better to be cautious about some things. ”
Chen Yao's words surprised Huang Qiong as well. When the king of Guilin County was assassinated, Emperor Taizong, who supervised the army in the army of the king of Guilin County, bloodbathed Shaolin, Huang Qiong really didn't know that there was such a past during the founding of the country. Chinese history books have always been avoided by the above, there is no writing in the history books, and his mother has never told him, so it is not surprising that Huang Qiong does not know.
However, Huang Qiong knew that what Chen Yao said was not wrong, if once he found out that the equation was a martial arts person, he would be a prince whose life experience was complicated enough, I am afraid that his emperor Lao Tzu would rather kill the wrong one than let it go. Although neither the crown prince nor the other kings have any people around them, it is basically impossible.
Except for those guards on the bright side, who are all from the rivers and lakes, as long as those princes who have the heart to compete for the throne, if they don't have the power to see the light in their hands, I'm afraid they won't believe it. But this matter is fine for other princes, but if it falls on himself, it may not be fine.
The emperor's attitude towards himself is unclear now, and the crown prince is probably worried that he can't find his own handle. Just as Chen Yao said, it is better to be cautious at this time. However, Huang Qiong, who was somewhat unwilling, pondered a little and said, "Aunt Yao, did you have any friends when you walked the rivers and lakes with your mother?" ”
"Those who can talk to their mothers and be looked at by their mothers are estimated to be at least second-rate characters. Unless my mother comes forward in person, these masters are not something I can invite. However, I think that Aunt Yao should come forward and invite some of their disciples or descendants, there should be no big problem. Just like Aunt Yao just said, do you learn to become a literary and martial artist and sell it to the emperor's family? ”
"These people aren't like the big guys, who are always eye-catching when they go there. At the same time, he is a young man, and he is more obedient than that arrogance. I think that as long as we get out of Luoyang City, it will be much more convenient for us to do whatever we do. At least the prince's hand is difficult to stretch so long.
"Even if these tails follow out of Luoyang City and solve it quietly with Aunt Yao's skills, there is no big problem. In this way, the future is the day when I enter the palace and set the province. I asked my father for instructions, and on the grounds that I grew up in the deep palace and didn't know the people's suffering, I asked me to go out to study for a year. ”
"That is, you can take a look at the world outside Luoyang City, and you can also accompany Aunt Yao to visit those so-called masters outside the world. And Aunt Yao, as the head of a county prince's mansion, is also human nature to play with some relatives when she goes home to visit relatives. Even if my father and the crown prince are trying to find fault with me, I'm afraid they won't be able to say anything. ”
"As for the equation, what should be co-opted is still to be co-opted. But if he has the heart, don't go directly to the house. You can just put it there and use it as a nail, and the person who invited it can also put it there for the time being. He has been in contact with the three sects and nine streams in the capital over the years, and staying outside the house can not only find out news for us, but also be used as a hidden stake. ”
Huang Qiong's idea, Chen Yao pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Your idea is good, but if you want to come up with Luoyang City, I'm afraid your father won't agree." You're under his nose, and he's not at ease. Out of the capital, he could only be more uneasy. ”
"After the death of the old prince, the forces left behind have been purged by him for so many years, although it is no longer possible to pose a threat to the imperial court and your father. But the old prince has worked hard in the army for many years, and has the huge power he built really cleared? I'm afraid that your father doesn't have a certain number in mind. ”
"He and the crown prince are worried about the resurgence of those who have not been purged by them. As an emperor, and even more so as a father, how can he not know the character of the crown prince he has ordained? The prince was so blatant, but he didn't even say a word. At least it shows that the prince has at least no objection to the prince's practice of protecting openly and spying secretly. ”
"You are in Beijing, under his nose, the father and son are not at ease, and where will you be released from Beijing? Whether you are a study tour or a person who observes the people's feelings, there is only one reason for them to go out of Beijing, that is, to contact the remnants of Huaiyang back then. Even if they don't think you're going to reach out to those people, they don't necessarily think they won't come to you. ”
"Therefore, when you leave Beijing, your father will not agree to it at all. However, what you say is also a solution. In this way, when you enter the palace in the future, you will ask for one or two tokens when you go to ***, and I will take them to meet some people. Miss's friends back then said that it was impossible to move them out of the mountains. But there shouldn't be much of a problem with letting some of their children go out to work. ”
"Besides, it's easier for me to go out alone. Miss's current identity, your relationship with Miss, it's better not to leak it out for the time being. Some of them have special statuses, and I'm afraid they will get into some trouble with you. Most of these people are reluctant to deal with people in the government. Even among them, there are not a few who are hostile to this dynasty. ”
Seeing Chen Yao nodding in agreement, Huang Qiong looked at Chen Yao, whose face was still beautiful under the flickering candlelight, but there were already dots of white hair on her sideburns, and sighed: "Aunt Yao, it's Qiong'er who is incompetent." Over the years, Aunt Yao has almost been delayed for life, not to mention, and now Aunt Yao is running around for Qiong'er. ”
"In fact, Qiong'er is so urgent, not only for herself, but also for Aunt Yao. Aunt Yao has spent more than ten years of time for Qiong'er, and now that Qiong'er has grown up, she doesn't want Aunt Yao to continue to delay. Qiong'er is so urgent, in addition to wanting to find a few right-hand men for Qiong'er, another point is to hope that Aunt Yao can find the good son-in-law in her heart as soon as possible. ”
