Chapter 320: Temptation
followed by Ma Miao, and in the list that Ma Miao gave to Gongsun Jian, he almost showed him the details of the entire Tianming Tavern. And Ma Miao knows that Yu Youjun is not the only one in the dark line in this capital, if he wants Gongsun Jian's life, I am afraid that before taking action, he must be Ma Miao who dies first.
The reason why Gongsun Jian went to test Ma Miao was just to see if this person was still credible in the capital for so long, in case he believed him unconditionally, and then he would unite with someone to stab him, and he would not be able to find out who killed him when he died.
Then there are the two princes, Prince Mingqing and Prince Kangyi, Prince Mingqing may have some resentment towards Gongsun Jian, but he is not expected to make a move, after all, it is the emperor who arranged Gongsun Jian with him, if something happens to Gongsun Jian in the palace, the first to suffer is Prince Mingqing.
Therefore, this Prince Kangyi is the most disgusted, if he attacks and kills Gongsun Jian around the palace, and uses His Majesty's dragon power to wrath, he can suppress the Ming Palace, suppress the Ming Palace, and then integrate the officialdom Those who have ambiguous positions, in the future, he will really be above ten thousand people under one person in the whole world.
As for the group of people from the Liu family in the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department, Gongsun Jian didn't even have the heart to think about it, maybe not only the Criminal Department, but the entire six departments and even the three Gongjiuqing knew where Gongsun Jian was and who Gongsun Jian was, but did they dare to talk everywhere? This open and secret battle is a wrestling between the royal family, and as long as those officials of the six ministries dare to stretch out their hands, they will definitely end up in a situation where their families are ruined.
Gongsun Jian let out a long breath, stood up and whispered, "I almost understand now. ”
Song Siming was napping in the afternoon sun, opened his eyes and said, "What do you understand?" ”
"Since it is a quagmire and muddy water, catching fish and shrimp must be very difficult, at this time, you need a strong bait or a fishing net that cannot be broken, to catch some fish that eat more and swallow more, and steam and boil."
"I don't understand."
Gongsun Jian laughed loudly, "If you don't understand, it's right, presumably you are also a celebrity by Your Majesty's side, and you can let Your Majesty send me to your side, and you will definitely be able to soar from now on." ”
Song Qingming didn't care about Gongsun Jian's boasting, he said indifferently: "I happened to meet Gonggong Lu when I was patrolling in the palace, and I was called over by him." ”
"You're in luck."
Song Qingming closed his eyes again and leaned against the wall to take a nap.
Gongsun Jian snorted, "Chattering outside, but silent in the courtyard, Song Qingming, you are really a sullen coquette." ”
Gongsun Jian didn't get the expected situation that Song Qingming praised him for a while, and he also felt bored for a while, thinking about when to go outside the city again and inform those who were outside the city, after all, there are many people and great power.
At this moment, the courtyard gate was noisy, and then the courtyard gate was pushed open by gravity, and the voice of the palace steward came.
"Little county lord, Gongsun Gongzi is a guest, you can't be too rude, just talk about it when the prince comes back."
"No, I'm going to ask him personally!"
Two people broke in outside the door, the housekeeper with an anxious and helpless face, and Li Lian, the little county lord of the palace.
Gongsun Jianxin had the answer but showed a puzzled look on his face, "Why is the little county lord here now, it's not night yet, and now you have to go to Baifeng Pavilion?" ”
"100 of you!"
"The little county lord, Gongsun Gongzi is a guest, don't be disrespectful......"
"I'm still the master of the palace, you shut up for me!"
The housekeeper glanced at Gongsun Jian apologetically.
Gongsun Jian said: "What's going on with the little county lord today, he has such a big temper, who bullied you, I will help you bully back." ”
"Don't pretend to be confused, let me ask you, who brought up that matter!"
Li Lian's face suddenly turned red as she spoke, and she glared at Gongsun Jian angrily.
Gongsun Jian's expression was strange, looking at the cute appearance of the young girl, he had a thought that wanted to tease, "Which thing?" ”
Li Lian stomped his feet, "That's it!" ”
Song Qingming, who was napping on the side, said indifferently for fear that the world would not be chaotic: "The matter of getting married." ”
Li Lian turned her anger to Song Qingming again, "I want you to talk more!" ”
Song Qingming's eyes suddenly opened, and a fierce light burst out, the little county lord was stunned, and took a few steps back in horror, not knowing what to do for a while.
Gongsun Jian was afraid that Song Qingming, who was short of roots, would do something, so he said: "County Lord, don't worry, I won't marry you." ”
……
The housekeeper touched his head, and he looked like he had a headache.
Li Lian suddenly laughed, she was not afraid or shy anymore, and suddenly tilted her head and smiled.
Gongsun Jian realized that he had said the wrong thing, how could he call it not to marry, he should not have married, he walked to the side of the little county lord, hurriedly apologized and changed his words: "County lord and county lord, I didn't mean that, don't worry, I will never agree to let you marry me." ”
"Huh."
Li Lian suddenly pulled out the hairpin on his head and stabbed it straight over!
The housekeeper's eyes widened, and Song Qingming, who was far away from the wall, also looked incredulous.
Li Lian let go of the hairpin, covered her mouth and took a few steps back.
Drop by drop, the blood fell.
Song Qingming pulled out his long sword with a "bang", and he wanted to give this so-called county lord some color to see, he didn't care what the identity of this woman was, his task was to protect Gongsun Jian under the emperor's order, and you were no different from ordinary people in his eyes.
Li Lian was really frightened this time!
She looked at the young man in front of her, who was still smiling, at a loss.
Gongsun Jian stretched out his hand to stop Song Qingming, and then pulled out the hairpin on his other arm, if he hadn't reacted quickly, in such a short distance, it was very likely that he would have been directly pierced in his heart.
The housekeeper panicked, and hurriedly ordered the maid to hurry up and bring the trauma medicine.
Li Lian's expression was terrified, "I'm ...... I didn't mean to. ”
Gongsun Jian shook his head and said: "First, I did say the wrong thing, maybe I didn't choose to say anything, anyway, what I mean is that I won't agree to this family business, you don't have to worry." Second, this family affair was arranged by the emperor, and I didn't know about it in advance, and it was only the prince who informed me. Third, the little county lord does not need to blame himself, this little injury is not in the way. ”
Gongsun Jian took a deep breath and smiled helplessly, he didn't shed a trace of blood when he attacked and killed him just now, but he didn't stop bleeding in the safety of the palace, it was really ironic. However, the jewelry made of jade by this rich and noble family is sharp, and it is replaced by a wooden hairpin used by ordinary people to decorate, and it is impossible for Li Lian to hurt him if he is tired, so Li Lian should not have done it on purpose when he was angry.
When the maids bandaged Gongsun Jian's wounds, Li Qianying, who had finished his schoolwork, also rushed over, although he didn't want his sister to marry someone he didn't like, but after all, this person was a guest of the palace, and there was such a big and small downfall, so he naturally wanted to come over to greet him.
"Go down, all of you."
Li Qianying drank away from all his subordinates, including the housekeeper, and exchanged a few words with Gongsun Jian, he could clearly feel that His Royal Highness the Prince of the World's attitude towards himself was no longer as friendly as yesterday, and only regarded Gongsun Jian as a guest.
Gongsun Jian smiled helplessly, "His Royal Highness, the little county lord, I really don't know about this marriage, I have already married, and I will definitely not marry again, to tell you the truth, I am going to face the saint in Beijing this time, but my identity is not suitable to be detailed with you, this is the emperor's hint, and I can't disobey it." When the time comes, I will negotiate with the emperor in front of the palace and ask him to cancel this family business. ”
Li Qianying was embarrassed for a while after hearing Gongsun Jian's explanation, but he didn't expect Gongsun Jian to say that he didn't want to get married, it was that he lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
Li Lian apologized a few more words, and tears could not flow in her eyes.
Gongsun Jian also felt that the marriage of tying up a talented woman was not the so-called eldest husband, and she was not at fault with this little county lord, but the two of them were very unaccustomed to this sentimentality.
The children of the king's house are the same as the children of the people.
Gongsun Jian changed the topic and quipped: "I heard that His Royal Highness the Prince likes the daughter of the city order? The little county lord still likes a down-and-out scholar? ”
After hearing this, Li Lian turned his head to look at his brother, "What did you say?" ”
Li Qianying sighed, "It's my father who said it." ”
Li Lian pouted, with a slightly red face and big watery eyes, he looked extremely cute and moving.
"The daughter of the city order and the down-and-out scholar are the words of me and my brother, in my brother's eyes, how can I like the daughter of a little city order, he has no sweetheart yet."
"Then why ......"
"Because my father doesn't care about anything for us, he only cares about lifelong events, my father wants us to marry the children of high-ranking officials, so as to continue the royal bloodline, and the city order is just a small official, and his identity is not comparable to the emperor's family, the elder brother said that he liked the daughter of the city order, everything is for the father to be more attentive to the family and to us, and his old man's time in the house is getting shorter and shorter."
Li Lian's expression became more and more gloomy as she spoke.
Gongsun Jian nodded, judging from the past few days, Li Qianying's character really has nothing to say, it is benevolent and righteous for a son of the world not to behave in a bad way and not to harm the people. And the daughter of the city order is not comparable to the emperor's family, and now he is in order for the prince to be more concerned about the family, regardless of the prince's punishment for him, he uses the daughter of the city order to reduce his status, so that the prince is interested in the palace, which is filial piety. Thinking of this, Gongsun Jian had another bold idea, if Li Qianying was the emperor's son, maybe he would be able to fight for the throne.
Li Qianying sighed, "But with my father's attitude towards you and Li'er's relatives, there is no need to tell this kind of lie in the future." ”
"Don't worry, if I enter the palace to face the saint, I will let His Majesty dissolve the marriage contract."
Gongsun Jian has this confidence.
He asked again: "But then again, what about the down-and-out scholar that the little county lord said also means this?" ”
Li Lian blushed suddenly.
Li Qianying laughed, "It's almost, but she's much smarter than me, she's just testing her father's tone, and now the more my father is dissatisfied with that down-and-out scholar, the happier she is." ”
"Why is that?"
Li Qianying continued: "If my sister is determined to marry a down-and-out scholar, without eating or drinking, looking for death and life, my father has no choice but to agree, and when the time comes, my sister will go to the border to bring back a general, and my father will definitely agree without saying a word. Although her sister is a talented woman in the literary world, she loves martial arts more, and she admires the old general Song very much, but I don't know if the general she likes is also an old man. ”
Gongsun Jian also smiled, this little county lord is worthy of being a talented woman, and he can think of such a gap method, but what he didn't expect the most was that this little county lord actually liked a general.
"Brother, how can it be an old man! It's rumored that he's only twenty! ”
Li Lian pouted and said angrily.
"Twenty? I'm more familiar with the general of this dynasty, maybe I've seen that young general, what is his name? ”
Hearing Gongsun Jian's words, Li Qianying laughed again, "She still doesn't know what people's names are, she only knows that she is a young general under the command of Youjun, the general of this dynasty, and now the capital is full of beautiful talks about the Zhongzhou army breaking the Xishu army, and there is also the epitome of that general, and she can't put it down when she hears the rumors." ”
……
Gongsun Jian was stunned, and he said softly: "There are many young generals under General Yu, such as the pioneer general Yue Xunyi, and the left and right deputy generals Zhang Da and Xu Kangwei, are these few?" ”
"Sister, what kind of official position is that person? Brother Gongsun seems to know. ”
Li Lian saw that Gongsun Jian was like a treasure to the Zhongzhou army, and said happily: "He is a deputy general, and he has followed General Yu very early, but his name has never been passed down among the people, and they all say that he is suave, Yushu is in the wind, and has the potential of a Confucian general." ”
