Chapter Eighty-Five: Yang Ting's Doubts
After Yang Ting left the Chengdu Palace, he wanted to go back to Liu's Mansion to restore his life, Liu Ling was Liu Yuan's youngest and most beloved daughter, she got married, Liu Yuan felt a little uncomfortable, and he was more worried than happy, so he told Yang Ting to send Liu Ling to Chengdu Palace.
After passing through the two alleys, Yang Ting saw Yang Fu hurrying forward, and the direction of his journey was neither to go home nor to the academy, but to go down the road to the Hejian Palace. Yang Ting quickly linked the king of Hejian and the king of Chengdu together, Sima Pu said wildly, and only said that his father was going to be the crown prince, and the current situation, if the uncles of the king of Chengdu seized the throne, the crown prince would not fall on the head of the king of Chengdu anyway. However, if the king of Hejian united with the king of Chengdu to force back the king of Qi, it is possible that the king of Hejian gave the throne of the East Palace as a thank you gift to the king of Chengdu, so the prince's statement is just a slip of the tongue, and it is possible for the emperor's younger brother.
Yang Ting silently followed behind Yang Fu, and sure enough, he walked to the alley at the back door of the Hejian Palace, quietly waiting for someone. After a while, someone came out of the back door of the palace and walked straight to Yangfu, the two whispered for a while, and the man went back, and Yangfu looked around and turned to leave.
Yang Ting followed closely behind, and after Yang Fu turned a corner, he took a few quick steps to catch up with him, and patted Yang Fu on the shoulder from behind.
Yang Fu was obviously taken aback, and when he looked back to see that it was Yang Ting, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Why are you here?" ”
"I was ordered by the Hou Ye to send Miss Liu to get married, and I am rushing to the Hou Mansion to resume my life at this time." Yang Ting deliberately asked, "What is the eldest brother doing here?" ”
Yang Fu said lightly: "See an old friend." ”
Yang Attach's ability to lie is really high, if it weren't for Yang Ting seeing him secretly meeting with the people of the Hejian Palace, I'm afraid that his unchanging face and heartbeat would really make him believe his words. Yang Ting saw that Yang Fu didn't tell the truth, and he didn't ask. The two walked forward silently, and when they reached the mouth of the alley, they separated and walked in two directions.
Yang Ting arrived at Liu's Mansion and told Liu Yuan that everything went smoothly at the wedding ceremony, that the Chengdu Royal Mansion valued Liu Ling very much, and that all arrangements were the best, and they also asked Yang Ting to tell Liu Yuan that they would treat Liu Ling well and let Liu Yuan rest assured.
Liu Yuan nodded and said, "You send a letter to Yao'er and tell him the news of his sister's marriage." ”
"Yes." The sheep went back, but remained where it was, and did not leave.
"Anything else?" Liu Yuan asked curiously.
"This ......" Yang Ting said hesitantly: "I was eating wine in the Chengdu Palace, and when I went to the thatched house, I accidentally saw the son of the King of Chengdu, he was a little drunk, and he actually said wildly," Yang Ting raised his eyes and looked at Liu Yuan's face, and saw that he didn't react, so he had to continue stubbornly: "The King of Chengdu is going to enter the East Palace." ”
After Liu Yuan heard this, he glanced at Yang Ting meaningfully and said, "So what?" ”
"I just think that now that the young lady is married into the Chengdu Palace, if the King of Chengdu becomes the emperor's younger brother in the future, then she will have the opportunity to ascend to the throne. Although Sima Zun is the righteous son of the king of Chengdu, the king of Chengdu also values him, and he is indeed the bloodline of the Sima family, is it possible, we ......" Yang Ting pondered the words in his heart before saying: "If we can help the king of Chengdu, it is also for the sake of the young lady." ”
"Yang Ting," Liu Yuan patiently waited for Yang Ting to finish what he thought in his heart before he said: "I lead the army outside, I don't get involved in the affairs of the court, and I never participate in the open and secret battles between the kings, you should know this, right?" ”
"I know it's just ......," Yang Ting said again, "It's just that the situation is different now." ”
"What's the difference?" Liu Yuan said word by word: "No matter how many kings fight,
The world is surnamed Sima, no matter whether the king of Chengdu will be the emperor's brother in the future, this has nothing to do with Ling Er, let alone me. Do you understand? ”
Yang Ting naturally understood, but he was not convinced. The world is bustling for profit, the world is bustling for profit, Liu Yuan seems to lead the army, but he has no one behind him, most of his army are Huns, once the court looks at them unpleasantly, they can be wiped out immediately with the crime of rebellion, then Liu Yuan is passive, unless there is a rebellion, otherwise there is no way to live, but the soldiers and horses of the Jin Dynasty are not weak, and now the kings are fighting each other, so chaos is frequent, once these princes will form soldiers and horses all the way to attack Liu Yuan, he may not have a good chance of winning. But if he catches up with the king of Chengdu, it will be different, he can help the king of Chengdu seize the world, and then help Sima Zun become the prince in the future, he can become the ruler of the country with the right and soldiers, and then the power will be overwhelming, who else can move him?
Yang Ting knew that he couldn't convince Liu Yuan, so he bowed and retreated. He has his own plans in his heart, in Liu Yuan's army, a small deputy general, even the rank is not in the stream, if he can return to Beijing, throw himself into the army of the king of Hejian or the king of Chengdu, or even enter the Yamen army and the Su Guard army, and mix a four- or five-grade official, then there is a way out.
Liu Yuan looked at Yang Ting's back and narrowed his eyes. He has always disliked Yang Ting, from the first time he saw him, he knew that this was a person who would do whatever it took to get ahead, and joining his army could be said to be a helpless move, he took him with him, in addition to making it easier to contact Liu Yao, more to observe him, but after observing him for so long, he still couldn't trust him. To this day, he felt somewhat dissatisfied with Yang Ting, and he had a premonition that if Yang Ting continued to stay by his side, he would definitely cause trouble and bring big trouble.
Liu Yuan has been thinking about it for a long time in his heart, maybe it's time to take Liu Yao out of Goguryeo and bring him back to him. Several of his sons, the eldest son Liu He was heavily punished because of Liu Yao's matter, and he also lost his heart, and the second son was originally Liu He's person, but since Liu He lost power, he did a lot of things to trample on Liu He, which made Liu Yuan very angry. The qualifications of the third son are mediocre and difficult to take on heavy responsibilities. The fourth son Liu Cong is the best, but Liu Yuan's five people can't rely on only one Liu Cong, he always has to arrange a competent man for Liu Cong, and the remaining sons are all generals, and it is difficult to enter Liu Yuan's eyes, only Liu Yao is the son he values the most in addition to Liu Cong, and it is also the son he must entrust with important tasks. In the past two years, Liu Yuan has let Liu Yao go, in addition to training him, but also to alleviate the contradictions of several sons, and now that the five Xiongnu departments have basically been rectified, it is indeed time to take Liu Yao back.
When Yang Ting returned to Yangfu, he went to Sun's room to ask for peace, but saw that Lin and Ah Qi were also there. Yang Ting asked for peace and said, "I just met my eldest brother, on the side of the Hejian Palace." ”
He deliberately accentuated the words "Hejian Wangfu", wanting to see how his mother and sister-in-law reacted, to make sure that they knew what the sheep were doing, and he didn't want to be the only one in the family who didn't know. But Sun only said "oh" to indicate that he understood.
Yang Ting looked at Lin, and Lin's face did not change, and said, "He said that he was going to see an old friend." ”
Yang Ting rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "My brother likes to be bored at home since he was a child, where did he come from?" He looked at Lin and said, "Sister-in-law, shouldn't my brother have raised an outer room?" You have also been married for many years, and my brother has not taken a concubine, so I'm afraid I'm tired of it, and now that you're pregnant, he ......."
Before Yang Ting finished speaking, Sun became angry and said: "Nonsense, you don't want to bring the old man in the army to your home, you still have to respect your sister-in-law." ”
Lin said: "Mother, don't be angry, although the sheep has problems, they don't raise any outer rooms." I told him a long time ago that if he gets tired of me one day, he can take a concubine, and I don't care what kind of person he accepts
I don't care if I accept a few, as long as he is happy, I can do anything. ”
Sun Shi answered: "But Yang Fu is not that kind of person. ”
Yang Ting pursed his lips and said, "Aren't all men the same in the world?" I don't believe that my brother will have to be a sister-in-law for the rest of his life. ”
"It's the same thing." Sun glanced at him and said, "I haven't seen you marry a woman back, and you're in your twenties, so I'm not in a hurry." You are away all the year round, and your mother can't worry about you if she wants to, so if you know someone in the land of the army, your mother doesn't care, she should always give you a home, and your mother's life will be complete. ”
Seeing that the topic had turned to him again, Yang Ting hurriedly haha, but looking at the appearance of Sun and Lin, he was really not sure if they knew what Yang was doing. If they knew, they were too natural and didn't show any flaws at all. If they don't know, why did they change the topic so quickly?
After thinking about it, Yang Ting said again: "In the days when I came back, my brother was always very busy, he was just teaching in the academy, how could he be so busy?" I'm not necessarily so busy in the military. ”
"Your brother is a gentleman, a person who preaches and teaches and solves doubts, and he is facing all students, how dare he have a trace of slackness." Lin said: "Besides, he didn't stop writing his book, so he went home and was stuffy in the house, so you naturally felt that you saw him less." ”
Sun said casually: "I didn't think you cared so much about your eldest brother before, what's wrong today?" ”
"It's nothing," Yang Ting said, "I see that I am leaving again, and I always want to have a few drinks with my eldest brother, but I can't see him, so I ask." ”
While speaking, Yang Xuanzhi walked in drunken from outside, Sun did not get up to greet him, and signaled that Lin did not have to get up, only Yang Ting hurriedly stepped forward to support his father, and sat beside his mother with him.
"Why did you come back first?" Yang Xuanzhi looked at Yang Ting and said dissatisfiedly: "I asked you to make more friends, you should all turn a deaf ear." ”
"I'm in a hurry to go to Liu's Mansion to restore my life." Yang Ting said: "But how does my father know that I haven't made anyone?" Yang Ting smiled mysteriously and said, "I met the prince of the king of Chengdu, but he patted his chest and said that he wanted to promote me." It's just that," Yang Ting paused and said, "Xu is drunk, and he also said that his father, King Chengdu, wants to be the crown prince." ”
"Drunken talk, drunken talk." Yang Xuanzhi immediately waved his hand and said: "The first emperor is dead, the king of Chengdu is the son of the first emperor, how can he be the crown prince?" The emperor's younger brother is about the same. He laughed and said, "What are you talking about here?" ”
"Say give Yang Ting a wife." Lin said with a smile: "Mother is worried about Yang Ting's marriage, and wants him to find a good girl in the army." ”
"Nonsense, he's a dignified uncle, how can he get married casually?" Yang Xuanzhi said to Sun: "You have been in the palace for so long, and you have known a lot of noble ladies in the future. ”
Yang Ting immediately came to his senses, and echoed and said: "Yes, mother, you are the mother of the queen, who is not a lady in Beijing who does not hold you?" I still have you to worry about this marriage, besides," Yang Ting smiled: "You are closer to these people, and you are more well-informed, aren't you?" I heard that King Qi had a young daughter, and she was ...... in twenty-eight years."
"No, no," Sun hurriedly waved his hand and said, "King Qi can't." ”
Yang Ting looked at his mother suspiciously, why can't King Qi? Although the Yang family and the Qi Wang family are not a good match, but the youngest daughter of the King of Qi was born to a maid, and she is not valued in the house, if she really marries into the Yang family, there is nothing wrong with it, and this is also a joke, the mother's reaction is obviously something in her heart, it seems that she does know something.
