Chapter 66: Just go and check
Rong Sheng first went to Yuwangfu to report, saying that Dongling Shuo and Chu Nanyue came to visit.
Donglin Shuo is a frequent visitor to Yuwang's Mansion, but Chu Nanyue is a rare guest, and when the subordinates heard the name, they went to the mansion first with a strange face.
It didn't take long for Tanglin Hong to send someone to greet him.
Tanglin Hongli was thoughtful, and when he saw Tanglin Shuo and Chu Nanyue walking into the hall, he got up to greet him personally.
"Sixth brother." Tanglin Hong said hello to Tanglin Shuo briefly, and then said to Chu Nanyue, "I didn't expect General Chu to come too, it's really rare, rare." ”
Dongling Hong didn't look down on Chu Nanyue in the past, but Chu Nanyue dealt with things several times, and he had the style of strategizing, and he was deeply valued by the emperor, so he faintly had the intention of making friends.
However, Chu Nanyue did not become friends with others, and there was no response after several hints, and Tangling Hong gradually faded.
"The last general will not come before, it is really that the yamen and the garrison on the outskirts of Beijing have too many trivial matters, and I hope that His Royal Highness King Yu Haihan is." Chu Nanyue replied decently.
"Exactly." Dongling Shuo also said beside him, "General Chu is now my colleague, and when I heard that I wanted to come to the second brother's mansion today, he proposed to go with him, which shows that he was sincere." ”
When Dongling Hong heard them talk about this, it was inconvenient to hold on to the past.
With a smile on his face, he said to Chu Nanyue: "Since General Chu is willing to come, then I naturally welcome it, and I hope that General Chu will not be too restrained." ”
Chu Nanyue nodded: "Thank you, His Royal Highness King Yu." ”
The three of them chatted in the hall for a while, only to hear Donglin Shuo say casually: "Now that the weather is suffocating, I am always a little uncomfortable in the room, if the second brother is interested, why don't you take us for a walk in the courtyard?" ”
"Don't hide it from His Royal Highness King Yu, the last general also has this intention." Chu Nanyue said with a smile on the side.
Dongling Hong has always been proud of the exquisite luxury of Yuwangfu, and listening to Dongling Shuo and Chu Nanyue take the initiative to mention it, if he hides it, he will look stingy.
So Dongling Hong said: "It's okay, walking around the courtyard, you can also be more casual." ”
Tanglin Hong led the two of them out of the house.
Donglin Shuo used to come to King Yu's mansion often, and he was familiar with most of the patterns, he secretly looked at where there was anything abnormal, and listened carefully to the sounds around him.
Tanglin Shuo heard a faint sound of water in a certain direction, and when he walked, he also intended to go in that direction.
Tanglin Hong didn't notice it, and the two of them followed Tanglin Shuo.
Waiting for a pool of water to come into view, Tanglin Hong showed some nervousness.
Tangling Hong secretly observed the expressions of the two, and seeing that they were not the slightest bit unusual, he let go of half of his heart.
"Second brother, when did this pool of water exist? I don't think I've seen it before. Tanglin Shuo asked curiously.
Donglinhong explained vaguely: "This is just repaired this year, you haven't been here for a long time, so naturally you haven't seen it." ”
"Second brother, is this living water or stagnant water?" Tanglin Shuo asked again.
Dongling Hong's temples jumped lightly, and said: "Nature is stagnant water, where is the living water so easy to lead?" ”
Tanglin Shuo smiled: "I saw that this water was exceptionally clear and sparkling, and I thought it was living water." Since the second brother said no, it was probably the reason why the second brother maintained it carefully. ”
"It's nature." Tanglin Hong explained, "There is a special person in the house who is responsible for cleaning up. ”
Tanglin Shuo has been looking for words and chatting with Dongling Hong, while Chu Nanyue, who is beside him, has not said a word.
Chu Nanyue secretly looked at this pool of water, the pool water was deep, and there was a lot of water at a glance. She listened to the sound, and easily found the outlet of the underground ditch, which led to the pool.
So, Tanglin Hong is lying.
The so-called stagnant water was brought in from Pingjiang by Tanglin Hong, who secretly sent people to dig underground canals.
Chu Nanyue felt a little angry in his heart, the water of the Pingjiang River was related to the military fields of the garrison and the farmland of the villagers. And Tanglin Hong's stealing of water means a threat to the normal survival of the villagers in those two villages.
Seeing that the two of them had been standing by the pond, Tanglin Hong became faintly uneasy, and said: "There are a lot of interesting places in my house, this pond is nothing to look at, why don't the sixth brother go to another place with General Chu and me?" ”
The two also knew that staying too long would make Tanglin Hong alert, so they hurriedly agreed with a smile.
After a brief look at the side, the two found a reason to leave.
On the way to the yamen, the two of them were quiet and did not speak for a while.
It took a long time before I heard Dongling Shuo ask, "Can General Chu see it clearly?" ”
"I see it clearly." Chu Nanyue replied, "The water outlet is near the pond, so we can hear the sound of water." I have already determined that the underground canal leads to the palace of King Yu. ”
"Hmm." Tanglin Shuo only nodded faintly.
As long as it is confirmed, you will have an accuracy in your heart, whether it is to play the emperor in the future or communicate with the yamen, you can have more confidence.
After all, many clues on the scene are clear at a glance.
Thinking of today's experience, Chu Nanyue was a little more grateful, and said, "Today's matter, I want to thank you for your help." ”
If she didn't go with Donglin Shuo, no matter what reason she was looking for to come to the door, it would be too deliberate.
Tanglin Shuo shook his head: "Even if you are not here today, I will go into the mansion to check it out." ”
In this matter, he was not all for Chu Nanyue.
Tanglin Shuo knows Donglin Hong, he is flamboyant and loves extravagance. He did not hesitate to build underground canals, just to add a pool of living water to his house.
The enjoyment of Tanglin Hong is beyond the reach of ordinary people. But as for what kind of practical things he has done for the imperial court, I am afraid that Dongling Hong himself will not be able to answer.
"Your Royal Highness Six, aren't you afraid that His Royal Highness King Yu will know your intentions today in the future, and he will have a grudge against you?" Chu Nanyue said suddenly.
Tanglin Shuo brought her in today, but she will inevitably enter the Yuwang Mansion to search in the future. With such a clear situation, it is estimated that Tanglin Hong will know what role Tanglin Shuo has played in it when he thinks about it!
Even if Tanglin Shuo and them are naturally hostile in the battle for the throne, no one will do such a blatant act.
"The mustard between our brothers is not new today, so what if there are more." Tanglin Shuo showed a bit of self-deprecation. "It's because my father likes us to move around more, so I will go to their mansion more."
As the emperor grew older, he naturally looked forward to harmony among his children.
But Donglin Shuo knows very well that he and Dongling Hong and Dongling Yan are not people all the way.
Tanglin is flamboyant and Tanglin Yan is gloomy, but they have a common characteristic, that is, they are ruthless.
For the sake of profit, they can put aside their feelings and fight to the death. Today's brotherhood is deep, and tomorrow you will be able to stab the knife mercilessly.
Donglin Shuo sighed slightly, and then said in a straight voice: "General Chu, you don't have to worry too much. Although my father loves us, he will not deliberately show favoritism for us, let alone embarrass you. Just look it up, the more evidence, the better. ”
"I get it." Chu Nanyue's eyes were full of seriousness. "Then you ......"
"I'm not going to meddle in this anymore." Tanglin Shuo said, "No matter how big my father is, he will not be happy to see our brothers fighting in the palace. ”
I'm afraid that Chu Nanyue will have to do it alone.
Although Tanglin Shuo didn't say it, Chu Nanyue knew that there was another reason why he deliberately avoided it like this.
It is not only the emperor who does not want to see brothers fighting, but also Tanglin Shuo himself.
Unlike Tanglin Hong and Tanglin Yan, Tanglin Shuo has feelings for his relatives after all, although those feelings have been gradually withdrawn too much in the whirlpool of royal power.
