Chapter 110: Three Prisons and Three Kings
Guo Song turned around and saw Sun Xiaozhen not far behind him, riding a donkey, sweating profusely, with a helpless face.
Guo Song stepped forward with a smile, "Did you go to Qingxuguan to find me?" ”
"I went to look for it, Qingfeng said that you went out early in the morning, probably to Pingkangfang, and I was in a hurry to come back."
"Do you have news?"
Sun Xiaozhen nodded, "Uncle Junior, let's go in and talk!" ”
He took Guo Song into the restaurant through the back door, Guo Song looked at the restaurant and praised: "It seems that you are a rich second generation." ”
"I'm not, my younger brother is, the restaurant is inherited by him, I'm just a little ruffian and a demon king who doesn't hurt my mother and doesn't care about my father, but after meeting my master, I was upgraded to a ranger."
Guo Song smiled, there are too many things like abandoning the elder and loving the young, and he doesn't bother to talk about any big truths.
The two walked into a room in the backyard, only to see that the room was full of swords, bows and arrows, as well as a large knife from the door, Guo Song reached out and grabbed the big knife and tried it, at most twenty catties, he suddenly lost interest.
He took the bow from the wall again, the bow was not bad, the eight-bucket bow, he smiled and asked, "You learned these in the martial arts hall?" ”
"Not really! The martial arts gym is a liar, charged me 20 tuition, a head teacher said that my foundation is too poor, to start from the most basic practice, all day long is squatting horse steps, lifting stone locks, the shadow of the sword is not visible, I have to study for a year, I don't have that interest. ”
"But I didn't let you learn martial arts!"
"Of course, I heard a lot of news, which one does Uncle Xiao want to hear?"
"Did the head of the sect surnamed Mao hear about it?"
"I heard it, it is the head of the martial arts hall, called Mao Shunshui, I also have a friendship with him, he often comes to Pingkangfang, I heard that I am the young owner of Sun's Restaurant, I am very polite to me, and said that I want to teach me martial arts in person, this kind of person is nothing more than wanting to come to Sun's Restaurant to eat and drink for nothing."
"Are you sure this Mao Shunshui is the person we are looking for?"
Sun Xiaozhen nodded, sneered and said: "It must be him, he used to be the same as the master, he also took a bounty for the government to catch fugitives, known as King Kong Iron Claw, he bragged to me about his glorious past, how many thieves and fugitives he caught, but I didn't know that in front of him was the flying mouse." ”
Guo Song took a few steps and asked, "How is his martial arts?" ”
"To be able to be the head of the worship, the martial arts must be very powerful, my master is also the head of the worship, ranked seventh, and he ranks third."
"Is it ranked according to martial arts, or is it ranked according to the order in which they enter?" Guo Song asked again.
Sun Xiaozhen nodded affirmatively, "Ranked by martial arts!" ”
Guo Song secretly thought in his heart, the capital is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and his senior brother's martial arts are only ranked seventh, so he can't be careless.
"Tell me about it! What else is there to say? ”
Sun Xiaozhen smiled proudly: "Does Uncle Xiao want to know about the situation of winning the heir?" ”
Guo Song's spirits perked up, which was exactly what he was eager to know, "Say it quickly!" ”
"Actually, Uncle Xiao has just come to the capital, and if you stay for a long time, you will hear a lot of rumors, and the matter of fighting for the emperor has long been rumored in the capital, and the most spread is the three eunuchs and three kings, and what I heard in the martial arts hall is also the three eunuchs and three kings."
"Which three eunuchs and which three kings are exactly?" Guo Song asked.
"The three eunuchs refer to the three eunuchs who are in power to the government and the opposition, Yu Chaoen, Li Fuguo, and Cheng Yuanzhen, it is rumored that the three of them are fighting each other, the struggle is very fierce, and they each have great power, and the prince has not been decided, and the three eunuchs each support a prince and compete for the position of the East Palace."
"To the point, who are the three princes?" Guo Song said a little impatiently.
"Uncle Xiao, don't worry, after talking about the three eunuchs, they are the three kings, and the three kings are Li Shi, the king of Lu, Li Miao, the king of Zheng, and Li Si, the king of Zhao."
Guo Song was taken aback, "Summoning King Li Si to also participate in the succession?" ”
"King Zhao is the grandson of the emperor designated by the first emperor, and then the first emperor was overthrown by the emperor, and the king of Zhao is on the side, and now King Lu and King Zheng are fighting the most, King Lu is the eldest son, but King Zheng is the heir to the throne designated by the emperor, so the position of the prince has not been determined."
It seems to be very complicated, Guo Song still understands that the current situation is still related to the change of seizing the door ten years ago, ten years ago, the emperor Li Longji launched the change of seizing the door and seized the throne of his son Tang Suzong Li Heng, and later let the imperial grandson Li Yu inherit the throne.
Summoning the king Li Si was adopted as a son by the first emperor Li Heng and was very favored, so Li Heng designated Li Si to inherit the throne from generation to generation, but after Li Heng was overthrown by his father Li Longji, Li Si was marginalized, and the succession to the throne from generation to generation also came to naught.
But Li Longji liked King Zheng Li Miao the most, and designated him as the great-grandson of the emperor in the next generation, and he would inherit the throne of his father Li Yu in the future.
And Li Shi is the eldest son of the emperor, the eldest son publicly recognized by the Son of Heaven, he is the orthodox one to inherit the throne, but because the emperor Li Longji designated Li Miao, the king of Zheng, and it is estimated that he also issued an edict, so the current emperor Li Yu is very embarrassed, and he doesn't know how to determine the heir to the throne.
As for Li Si, it is possible to become a dark horse, after all, he is the heir of the next generation designated by Li Heng of Tang Suzong, and he has a certain legitimacy, when Li Miao and Li Shi lose both, Li Si will benefit.
After pondering for a long time, Guo Song asked again: "Who do the three eunuchs support?" ”
"This Chang'an people all know that Yu Chaoen supports Li Miao, the king of Zheng, he is entrusted by the emperor, Cheng Yuanzhen supports Li Shi, the king of Lu, he once served the young King Lu, of course, he is biased towards Li Shi, Li Fuguo is the old man of the first emperor Emperor Suzong, he must support the king of Zhaowang Li Si, but it is rumored that Li Fuguo betrayed Emperor Suzong in the change of seizing the door, so he is somewhat loyal to the king of Zhao, it is difficult to say."
Guo Song nodded, it is true that each has its own roots, Guo Song is pacing back and forth in the room, he is also a little confused now, he actually wants to hug Li Shi's thigh when he enters the capital, he knows that Li Shi is the future Tang Dezong, but now he finds that history has changed a lot, and the root cause is Li Longji's change of seizing the door, which has changed the entire historical trajectory.
Although it is still Tang Dynasty Sect Li Yu as the emperor, are you sure that Tang Dezong Li Shi will be next? Not necessarily, Li Fuguo and Yu Chaoen have been killed by Li Yu in history, but now they are still alive and well, and they still hold great power.
Sun Xiaozhen was a little anxious, and whispered: "Doesn't Uncle Xiao want to know who my master was recruited by?" ”
Guo Song suddenly woke up, yes! Senior brother's affairs are the focus, who was Ganyu recruited by? Hunted by whom?
"Whose industry is the Tiger Ben Martial Arts Hall?" Guo Song asked anxiously.
"Actually, the people in the martial arts hall don't know, I speculate based on clues that the Huben Martial Arts Pavilion may be related to Yu Chaoen, the proprietor of the Huben Martial Arts Pavilion is surnamed Zhou, and it is said to be Zhou Hao, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, and everyone in Chang'an knows that Zhou Hao is Yu Chaoen's henchman."
Guo Song shook his head, "But this news is just a rumor, there is no evidence!" ”
Sun Xiaozhen was suddenly deflated, and said for a while: "Uncle Xiaoshi, then what should we do?" ”
Guo Song said coldly: "Only by taking Mao Shunshui can you know your master's situation, you invite him to eat at Sun's Restaurant tonight, and try to let him drink a little more." ”
........
Guo Song returned to Qingxuguan to find his senior brother Gan Lei and told him about today's meeting, Gan Lei thought for a while and said: "I think this Mao Shunshui doesn't seem to have much to do with the fourth child's affairs, the fourth child's affairs have been turbulent, and he can still make friends in the martial arts hall, maybe he is really just an introducer, and in case this Mao Shunshui is the fourth child's friend, if you kill him, how can you face the fourth child?" ”
Guo Song turned around suddenly, "Senior brother, what did you just say?" ”
Gan Lei looked confused, "I just said a lot!" I said that Mao Shunshui and the fourth child may not have much to do with each other. ”
"Later, what you said later!"
Gan Lei scratched his head: "Later, I seemed to say that the matter of the fourth child has been turbulent, and he is still in the martial arts hall." ”
"What else?"
"And in case he's a friend of the fourth......."
"That's it!"
Guo Song slammed his fist on the table and said coldly: "I think Mao Shunshui is probably a bait to lure us to him." ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"Senior brother, think about it, Ganyu was introduced to the Huben Martial Arts Hall by Mao Shunshui, if we want to find Ganyu's whereabouts, we must trace it from Mao Shunshui, Sun Xiaozhen said that the worship head generally does not show up in the martial arts hall, and during this time, Mao Shunshui is very active in the martial arts hall, isn't it just to create opportunities for us?"
"You mean that if you follow Mao Shunshui tonight, you will be targeted?"
"I think that's what it means, if Ganyu hadn't been caught by them, who would Ganyu find when he came back to inquire about the news?"
"Your analysis does have a little truth, then inform Sun Xiaozhen not to invite Mao Shunshui to drink."
"Senior brother is wrong."
Guo Song smiled faintly: "If we don't muddy the water, how can we fish in troubled waters?" ”
