Volume 2 Song of the Morning Chapter 71 A Plan in the Shadows
Mr. She patted the dust on the hem of his pants, because of the alley, which has not been cleaned all year round, has fallen a lot of dust. He glanced at the night sky, and the crescent moon hanging in the sky had shifted a lot, and he counted the time, someone should come. He looked at Gao Changyu and Jiang Zuolang, and said, "It's not too early, today's business is completed, and the next thing is to see the child." Envoy Jiang, Your Highness, the two of you can go back and rest. ”
Jiang Zuolang bowed his head slightly, took the hat on one side and turned to leave. Gao Changyu was still standing in place, his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and his delicate face was worried that could not be hidden.
"Why, Your Highness, is there anything else to ask?" Mr. She noticed Gao Changyu's strange appearance and asked with a smile. He is a former minister of the Servant Palace, and today, all the plans he has done are for the revival of the Servant Mansion.
It's a pity that King Yu had no children and only one daughter, otherwise there would be no chance of restoration of the British Emperor. It can be said that a large part of the restoration of the British Emperor was due to the acquiescence of King Yu, otherwise, with Xu Shi and his two of them, there were only more than 200 armor soldiers, and I am afraid that they would not even be able to enter the palace. The emperor has no children, but it is a taboo.
"Li Xiao, he's going to be fine, right?" Gao Changyu asked cautiously.
As far as she knew, this Mr. She's plan was not safe, and the fall of the palace was also related to the two powerful ministers of the dynasty, so wouldn't Li Xiao be in a deep prison, and the people he faced were extremely dangerous people.
Mr. She laughed, waved his hand, and said: "This highness can rest assured, the minister also has some power in the court, although it is not big, but he still has confidence in keeping Li Xiao, and with his current reputation, with the support of the emperor, Shi Xu and the others have no way to take him for the time being." ”
He hasn't finished speaking, but he actually wants Li Xiao to have an accident because of Shi Xu and the others, so that the one in Suzhou will not be able to sit still, and maybe he will go north with a sword. Compared with Li Xiao, he still prefers Chu Yi's shot. It's not that the latter can kill many people, but the moment he goes north, the chaos of the world's martial arts caused by it, which is what he needs most. After all, chaos is always the most needed factor for changing the dynasty.
Gao Changyu nodded, she didn't know anything about the affairs of the court, over the years, it was not easy to survive in Jingshi, with her identity, how could she have the opportunity to contact the affairs of the court and the opposition. If it weren't for the appearance of this Mr. She, I'm afraid she wouldn't want to come into contact with these in this life.
Mr. She's appearance did rekindle her already dead heart, and she also had the idea of reviving the former glory of the Yunwang Mansion, so she has been listening to Mr. She's arrangements over the years, whether it is to meet the son of a porcelain family, or to deliberately go so far to contact Li Xiao on that day, or to make a stupid plea at today's birthday banquet. But the more she went on, the more she doubted whether what she was doing was right and meaningful.
Especially the appearance of Li Xiao, and the coexistence of the two for many days. It shook her originally firm heart. She thought about backing down, but she hesitated, until today, she understood that she couldn't back down at this moment. Today's intercession in front of the Taiji Hall is like a cold iron chain, tying her to Li Xiao together, and there is no way to retreat.
"Okay, Your Highness, don't worry too much, everything, you have your own minister's arrangement, in the next few days, you can have a good rest, whether to do your 'tofu' business, or as usual, you can decide for yourself." Mr. She rubbed his finger and said with a smile.
Gao Changyu nodded, Mr. She's words softened her face a lot, but her tightly clenched hands still showed her uneasy heart. Now that it has been done, there is no room for recovery. The result was not bad, the emperor did not study deeply, Li Xiao also made three amazing works, and was also knighted by the emperor. Although she always felt that everything that happened today was due to Mr. She's arrangement, the result was good for now.
To put it in her heart, when the emperor proposed to give Li Xiao a choice, her heart was pinched. It is very contradictory, on the one hand, he wants Li Xiao to leave Jingshi, but on the other hand, he is reluctant. Even though she knew that the two had no results, they always had some nostalgia for so many days together. It's a pity that the situation of the two of them, as well as Li Xiao's Longyang.
The little girl next to Li Xiao looks good, but after such a long time, she is still a virgin, and she has asked Sister Chunlan to test this matter, so she is so surprised. In Haoguo, a fourteen-year-old woman can get married, and there is a fourteen-year-old personal maid who has not been broken by his side.
Gao Changyu sighed lightly, turned around nervously, and then glanced back at Mr. She in the shadows, couldn't see the latter's face clearly, and wanted to say something, but he still held back and turned around and left.
Looking at Gao Changyu who left, Mr. She didn't have any waves in his heart, in his eyes, Gao Changyu was just a stinky child, and he didn't know what he was thinking. When Gao Changyu was kicked out of the palace, she went to find her, and at that time, because she still had resentment in her heart, she naturally agreed immediately. After more than ten years, the latter more or less had the intention of retreating, after all, the people they were facing were too powerful. But fortunately, with today's arrangement, Rao is Gao Changyu still wants to retreat and has no way, thanks to Li Xiao, the child.
In Mr. She's eyes, Li Xiao is a qualified chess piece, whether it is ability or role, whether it is life or death, this chess piece has no small role.
Half of the moon is over, and the birthday banquet in the palace is almost over. He listened to the sound of footsteps not far away and smiled slightly. Since Li Xiao retired, he left the birthday banquet and came here early. The street here, far away from the birthday banquet, far away from the palace gate, can be regarded as a place that no one cares about, this is also a benefit, what he is plotting involves Liang Guo, if it is known, it is a crime of treason, the matter has not yet been completed, it has been done, why do you need to be afraid of these.
History is written by the victors, just like Mrs. Li of Wencheng Street, Rao is he made great contributions to Haoguo, and after the British Emperor ascended the throne, he was still erased by Shi Xu and the others. Nowadays, even in the armor, there is very little information about him.
It was the third watch, and the Jingshi City, which was originally immersed in the atmosphere of the Queen Mother's birthday, was quiet, and the people who had played all night were now hiding in the quilts, hugging their wives and children to sleep. The monks of Wan'an Temple who came out of Cining Palace also walked quickly on the stone road and rushed back to Wan'an Temple.
Tonight, there will be no curfew for the whole city.
The moonlight is pale, on the eaves, there are a few black and oppressive birds parking, the monks of Wan'an Temple pass by, startle the birds in the rest, flutter their wings and fly, in the quiet night sky, make a "dumb" sound.
Pu Jing walked at the end, chatting with Father-in-law Qian all the way, about Buddhism and what happened at the birthday banquet. Father-in-law Qian is good at talking and does not shy away from these, but the two did not talk too much, and when they left the palace gate, they separated.
He walked very slowly, and the monks in front of him were explained and returned to the temple first.
I don't know how long I walked, but Pu Jing stopped in front of this alley and didn't continue to move forward. This street is not far from Wan'an Temple, or rather, it is the only way for Pu Jing to leave the imperial city from the direction of Cining Palace and return to Wan'an Temple.
The voices of Jiang Zuolang and Gao Changyu have long been lost in the alley, and only the shadow still exists.
"Coming?" Mr. She in the shadows was the first to speak.
Pu Jing nodded and did not speak. Seeing this, Mr. She smiled, but was not angry. He seemed to be used to the former's actions. He stopped rubbing his finger and said with a smile: "It's been so many days, you are finally willing to come to see me, why don't you come in and sit down?" ”
"Nope." Pu Jing spoke lightly, and took two steps to the side. Although there was no one on the street at this time, he still subconsciously hid his figure, which seemed to be a habit. He glanced at the backs of the monks of Wan'an Temple who disappeared around the corner in the distance, then turned his head and asked word by word: "The matter of Wencheng Street, but you did it?" ”
Pu Jing's voice was soft, but every word fell on Mr. She's ears accurately, and the latter did not answer immediately, but clenched the wrench in his hand tightly, his eyes narrowed slightly.
In just a few words, there was a dead silence in the surroundings, and the two people present did not have any superfluous movements, Mr. She looked at Pu Jing, and Pu Jing also stared at Mr. She in the shadows. Pu Jing couldn't see Mr. She's face clearly at this moment, and he didn't need to see it clearly.
The crescent moon continued to shift a little, but still did not find Mr. She's face, the shadow was still the shadow.
"Isn't the matter of Wencheng Street already having a result, why do you still want to ask me?" In the alley, Mr. She took a step outside and replied.
As a result, it was naturally the assassination incident on Wencheng Street that was planned by Cai Xu, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, and his son. This result seems to be reasonable, but those reasons and evidences always make people feel unconvincing, like a temporary substitute. But these are the words of the emperor, and they can't refute anything.
Of course, for what the old eunuch said in Cining Palace, Pu Jing was skeptical. It's not going to be that simple, it always feels like someone is behind it. That's why he's here at this time, asking the question he just asked.
"It's rare for the two of us to see each other, and you're here for this, but it chills me." Mr. She laughed and eased the atmosphere.
Pu Jing, who knew the other party's temperament, did not relax because of this sentence, he closed his eyes, recited a sentence of "Amitabha", and asked again: "At today's birthday banquet, you arranged for His Royal Highness the county lord and the prince to intercede for the little prince?" ”
He didn't know about Jiang Zuolang, and Mr. She didn't reveal the relationship between Liang Guo and him, which was a charge of treason, and Mr. She couldn't afford it now.
This question is nothing, Gao Changyu is part of their plan, naturally nothing. Mr. She didn't hide it, he raised his long sleeves in his hand, shook off the wisps of dust around him, and said: "Your Highness was indeed arranged by me, but Prince, Brother Shangguan, do you think I will come into contact with such a waste?" ”
