Volume 1 Bead Curtain Twilight Rolling Western Mountain Rain Chapter 85 A Different Prince
That night, there was a very grand welcome dinner in the yamen of the Jiedu envoy, and all the people who could be on the stage in the whole Jizhou City arrived, and it was said that more than 200 tables were opened, and those with enough status ate in the house, and those with worse status ate in the courtyard.
It's still the same reason, those who have enough status can go to the main hall to toast Prince Wu Yang Jiju, and those who are not enough can sit in the courtyard and watch those people in the main hall talk and laugh from afar.
Sour no?
But it can't be helped.
After the dinner, Zeng Ling, the envoy of Jiedu, warmly invited Prince Wu to live in his mansion, but Prince Wu did not agree, but wanted to live in Prince Yu's house, and asked Youzhou General Luo Geng to go with him when he left.
This seems to indicate some attitude, as if Prince Wu cares more about Luo Geng than Zeng Ling, the envoy of the festival who holds both military and political power.
Prince Yu's mansion set up another table of banquets, there were only four people present, and everyone outside knew that Prince Yu was in Prince Wu and Luo Geng, but what they didn't know was that the Lord of Jiedu came from the back door, and it was Prince Wu who specially explained.
"I heard that there are some small tricks in this Jizhou City?"
Yang Jiju looked at Prince Yu Yang Jixing: "Even you dare to provoke?" ”
Yang Jixing smiled helplessly, but didn't say anything.
Prince Wu looked at Zeng Ling: "As the envoy of Jizhou Jiedu, how did you allow someone to bully the royal family?" ”
Zeng Ling hurriedly got up, took two steps back, leaned over and said, "The lower official is guilty, please forgive the prince." ”
"My third brother didn't hand over the matter to the people in the Department of Internal Affairs, because he thinks that he has a good personal relationship with you, and he doesn't want to ruin your future, otherwise he will make a small Jizhou Mansion disgusting? The matter is handed over to the Department of Internal Affairs, the first one is Lian Gongming, and the second is you. ”
Prince Wu's face became more and more unkind, but Zeng Ling, who was scolded, was relieved in his heart, if Prince Wu still ignored him like before, it would really be over.
Prince Wu said: "When Your Majesty asked me, choose between you and Guan Feiyun, who can be qualified to be the Jizhou Jiedu envoy, I recommend you and praise you as a pure minister, Your Majesty gave you the position of the Jiedu envoy, and I personally sent you out of Beijing, what did I say to you outside the city gate?" ”
Zeng Ling lifted his robe and knelt on the ground and said, "The prince said...... My third brother is in Jizhou, you have to take good care of him when you get there, if someone in the local area is not respectful to him, what should you do if you have the right to hang a knife on your waist? The lower official said to the prince, I know. ”
Prince Wu grabbed the wine glass on the table and smashed it on Zeng Ling's head, this time it hit very hard, and a blood line immediately flowed down Zeng Ling's forehead.
"What did you promise?"
Prince Wu shouted violently.
No one in the world knows that Prince Wu Yang Jiju has a violent temperament, just as who doesn't know that he leads the troops like a god, there are so many rebels in the world, but wherever Prince Wu led the troops, those rebels all retreated, let alone fighting, and they didn't even dare to see it.
Why is the great eunuch Liu Chongxin reluctant to provoke Yang Jiju? Because Liu Chongxin knew that Yang Jiju really dared to kill.
Liu Chongxin didn't try to take the military power from Yang Jiju's hand, and instigated a few boneless Yushi from the Yushitai to go to His Majesty to participate in Yang Jiju, Yang Jiju entered the palace with a horse whip after hearing the news, and blurred the flesh and blood of those people in front of His Majesty.
What did Your Majesty say?
Your Majesty said yes.
His Majesty has always distrusted his brothers, but he has been afraid of Yang Jiju since he was a child, now His Majesty is the eldest son, and Yang Jiju is the second prince, but His Majesty has never won a fight since he was a child.
Later, His Majesty didn't have the idea of taking back Yang Jiju's military power, but he didn't dare, he was really afraid that Yang Jiju would lead troops into the palace in anger, His Majesty knew that Yang Jiju didn't dare to kill him, but none of the people around him could live.
This time, Emperor Yang Sheng originally wanted Yang Jixing to lead the military power of Youzhou in Jizhou, because Yang Jixing was relatively obedient, but Liu Chongxin thought of a clever plan, Liu Chongxin said to the emperor, let Prince Wu go, he went to the north, and His Majesty would not be bothered.
This was so effective that the emperor immediately abolished the previous will written by himself, and instead asked Yang Jiju to lead General Zuo Wuwei and take full charge of the rebellion in the northern states.
The capital is in the south, and Yang Jiju is in the north, even if he has the imperial whip given by the emperor before his death, it is useless.
Perhaps the first emperor had expected that the crown prince Yang Sheng was weak and incapable, so he gave Yang Jiju a whip to beat the emperor, saying that if Yang Jiju found that the prince had any stupid behavior after he ascended the throne, he could use the whip to teach the prince a lesson.
With this whip in hand, Emperor Yang Sheng was really afraid of Yang Jiju.
It was precisely because he knew Prince Wu's temperament that Zeng Ling's smashed head was bleeding, but he didn't even dare to wipe it.
"The lower official is guilty, please punish the prince."
"Didn't you just say that you were convicted, but asked me to forgive you?"
Prince Wu's eyes were fixed on Zeng Ling, Zeng Ling lowered his head and didn't dare to say more.
Seeing this situation, Prince Yu Yang Qixing hurriedly said: "Brother Wang, Zeng Ling is also thinking about me, and he doesn't want people to say that I am meddling in local government affairs, for fear that some people will take advantage ......of it."
"Shut up!"
Prince Wu looked back at Prince Yu violently, and Prince Yu immediately lowered his head: "Yes, yes...... Brother Wang was angry. ”
Prince Wu looked at Prince Yu's eyes and said word by word: "The country is the Yang family's country, the world is the Yang family's world, you, as a member of the royal family, Prince Da Chu, were bullied by a local official, and you actually swallowed your anger?!" Is this world still from the Yang family, or have you made your own decisions to give this Jizhou to Lian Gongming?! ”
Prince Yu's face changed drastically.
"Get on your knees!"
Prince Wu stretched out his hand and picked up the whip that the guards around him were holding in both hands: "You are ashamed of your ancestors and ancestors!" ”
Prince Yu knelt down with a plop, not even daring to argue a word, even if this was his family, even if it was his brother.
"You're dishonoring the royal family."
Prince Wu stepped forward and hit Prince Yu's back three times with the whip, and Prince Yu's face was instantly as white as paper.
"You!"
Prince Wu pointed at Zeng Ling: "Crawl here!" ”
Zeng Ling didn't even dare to say a word, knelt down and crawled in front of Prince Wu, Prince Wu handed over the whip to the guards around him, stretched out his hand and took the horse whip, and crackled towards Zeng Ling's back.
"Third brother, are you convinced?"
"Yes."
"Zeng Ling, are you convinced?"
"Serve!"
Prince Wu was angry, threw away the whip, sat down and said, "Go and call someone to apply medicine to them." ”
Prince Yu and Zeng Ling got up, Prince Yu was better, although he really couldn't get over it on his face, but his second brother was punishing on behalf of their father, and the whip represented his father, and he had to accept it with humility and sincerity.
Zeng Ling is different, Zeng Ling doesn't even deserve to be beaten by the emperor, it's just an ordinary horse whip, but it's even harder, the flesh and blood on his back are blurred, and he won't be better if he doesn't have a month or two.
The two medical officers nervously applied medicine behind the two big men, and both of them were so frightened that their hands trembled slightly.
"I didn't get angry in public in Zeng Ling's mansion today, I gave you enough face and let you enter the mansion through the back door, and I still treat you as someone I can trust, don't let me down again."
Prince Wu took a sip of his wine glass, and his face softened a lot. "It's because the people of my Yang family are too kind and too conniving, so some people don't pay more and more attention to the royal people and royal affairs, and they have forgotten that the power in their hands is given by the Yang family."
Prince Wu looked at Zeng Ling: "I'll give you a month, I can't let Lian Gongming die the whole family in one month, so I have to let you die the whole family." ”
"Yes!"
Zeng Ling hurriedly leaned over and bowed again: "Remember, the lower officials." ”
Prince Wu looked at Luo Geng, who was sitting on the side with embarrassment and fright, and smiled: "Let General Luo make you laugh." ”
Luo Geng hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, the last general will also remember the teachings of the prince." ”
This is also a disadvantage to Luo Geng, how could Luo Geng not see it.
"Hmm."
Prince Wu seemed to want to ease the atmosphere, and asked Luo Geng, "You came all the way, but is there anything interesting?" My third brother and Zeng Ling choked me up and said something interesting. ”
Where could Luo Geng think of anything interesting for a while, what he saw on the way from Youzhou was mostly full of devastation, all of them were ruins left by the rebels, villages were destroyed, and the fields were barren, interesting? What's interesting.
But he didn't dare to say any of this, not a word.
"There's an interesting guy."
Luo Geng suddenly remembered the young man.
And just when he thought of the young man, Prince Yu was thinking about the old Taoist named Changmei, who said that he had a blood light disaster, which seemed to have been fulfilled, and the whip hurt like it was in the bone marrow.
Prince Wu said, "Let's talk about it." ”
"On the way to the end of the future, I met an interesting young man, who was a small man, and saw me leading the army to pass by, so he contributed twenty or thirty horses to the army, and the last general chatted with him for a few words, and he was able to calculate a lot of things, and even ...... He also asserted that when the last general arrived in Jizhou, he would be rewarded, and His Majesty would be promoted to the end of the general. ”
"Huh?"
When Prince Wu heard these words, he immediately became interested: "A young man, how can he have such a skill?" What is the road number and where are the people? ”
Luo Geng was stunned, and said in his heart that he forgot to ask.
But he suddenly remembered that his son knew, so he hurriedly said: "Dog Luo Jing knows, I don't know if I can let him come to see the prince?" ”
Prince Wu waved his hand casually: "Let him in." ”
After a while, Luo Jing trotted all the way over, and he was already leaning over to pay homage when he was far away, and Prince Wu beckoned him to come over and talk, and asked about the young man.
Luo Jing recalled for a while and said: "I didn't care about it after that encounter, but the cavalry under my account said that the master and apprentice should be the Changmei Daoist who walked in the seven counties of Jiyou, and they are not small. ”
"Long-eyebrow Daoist?"
Prince Yu's face changed, and he hurriedly said: "That old Taoist Changmei, he is still in my mansion today, and he will send someone to send him away when he greets Brother Wang." ”
Prince Wu is the person who believes in these gods and ghosts the most, although he doesn't dare to believe it openly, but those who are familiar with him know that he has a relationship with a Taoist named Zhang Youxu from Longhu Mountain.
Prince Wu said: "In this way, you send someone to tell Lian Gongming, and ask him to find this master and apprentice for me as soon as possible, if I can't find it, I will be very unhappy." ”
Prince Yu and Zeng Ling glanced at each other, and both of them understood what Prince Wu meant, so they responded at the same time.
"Yes."
Prince Wu said: "Find it as soon as possible, I will soon lead the army to the expedition, and I can't wait for a few days." ”
"Yes yes yes ......"
