Volume 1: The beginning is to enter the Ning Xiao Gate, the first time to meet the crown prince Fu Yuying Chapter 58: Eavesdropping on the roof
After pondering for a moment, I spoke again: "My side has also handled it properly, and it won't be long before Concubine De will write a letter to Li Shengqi, asking how to deal with Fu Yuying's conspiracy." I pursed my lips, paused, and said, "I have already flown a pigeon to pass the book to Ning Xiao's people at noon today, so that they can come to the capital quickly to pay attention to the movements of the people in the palace, and once they find the people of Concubine De, they will immediately intercept the family letter." ”
And this letter will never reach Li Shengqi's hand.
"Then wait." Yi Xuan nodded thoughtfully, "Li Shengqi is a cautious person, he shouldn't be reckless, so as long as our plan is carried out quickly, Li Shengqi will be caught off guard." ”
I smiled approvingly and replied: "Yes, although Concubine De can be said to be at ease in the battle of the harem, once she encounters such a major event as rebellion, she will not be as careful as Li Shengqi." ”
Yi Xuan put away the jade fan and looked at me with a hidden smile in his eyes, "So... You chose to force Concubine De to rebel before Li Shengqi, so that after that, everything will be much easier to deal with. ”
I smiled and nodded, confirming Yi Xuan's guess.
Speaking of which, after such a long period of contact, Yi Xuan and I really have a sense of confidant, basically I only need to tell him the first half of everything, and he will be able to guess the second half quickly.
Not long after, I heard from Kang Lurong's mouth that the people he arranged in the palace of Concubine De came to report that Concubine De suddenly summoned Fu Yuxiao into the palace urgently, and also retreated, as if there was something important to discuss.
"Oh?" I raised my eyebrows slightly, chuckled, and said, "Did the spy say that King Dunrui brought anyone else into the palace with him?" ”
Kang Lurong lowered his head and frowned, as if he was contemplating, and after a moment, he raised his head to look at me again in a trance, and his voice was even sharper: "Have you mentioned such a person!" He nodded to himself, and continued: "The spy said that the person didn't look like a subordinate from the Dunrui Palace. ”
That should be Yi Xuan.
Thinking of this, the corners of my mouth couldn't help but hook up a faint smile, and then I instructed Kang Lurong: "Call Yanhua for me." ”
Kang Lurong nodded, turned around and walked out of my dormitory.
After Yan Hua came over, I didn't say a word, I threw the mask I had made before to her, and then quickly pulled her towards the bedroom of Concubine De, when I arrived at the door, I glanced at it roughly, and after confirming that the two palace maids were not in the courtyard, I quickly walked in with Yan Hua.
While everyone around me was busy working, Yanhua and I quickly slipped to the open space next to the main hall, and after looking around to make sure that there was no one, Yanhua jumped to the roof with me, and after the two of us stood firm, she immediately squatted down with me and slowly moved to the roof of the palace of Concubine Degui.
Yan Hua skillfully lifted the two glazed tiles, and raised her hand to signal me to come and see.
The sound of the conversation in the room was as low as a mosquito fly, and I couldn't hear it clearly, so I had to lie down and attach my ear to the hole to vaguely hear the conversation inside.
Concubine De seemed to sigh and said slowly: "Now the emperor's suspicion is getting heavier and heavier, and people really don't know what to do." ”
There was no one in the room for a moment without speaking, I thought they had discovered me, and I was about to turn my head to take a look, when I suddenly heard Yi Xuan's voice again: "Niangniang, the grass people think that if you directly turn the rumors into truth, once you succeed, you can solve the dilemma at this moment." ”
"You mean to rebel?" I heard Concubine De's voice full of surprise, "But once this fails, it will be the crime of the Nine Clans." ”
"Niangniang, the emperor is a suspicious person, about this matter, if you want to try your best to argue that you have no intention of rebellion, it may cause the emperor to be more suspicious, but if you don't do anything, wouldn't it be step by step into the prince's trap, so the best way at the moment is to turn the rumors into true, since whether you do or don't do anything is a dead end, it is better to give it a go, maybe there is still a chance to live."
The room was quiet again, and after a long time, I heard King Xuanwu's voice again: "Erchen thinks that Yi Gongzi's words are not unreasonable, and at this time, our situation is like an arrow on the string, and we have to send it." ”
"Alas..."I heard Concubine De sigh before she spoke slowly: "This palace thinks that this matter still needs to be considered in the long run, and in any case, you should write a letter to your uncle first and ask for his opinion." ”
"Niangniang, if you think about it in the long run, I'm afraid you will be convicted by the emperor first. And if the mother intends to turn the rumors into truth, the grass people have a plan. Now that the crown prince is out to quell the rebellion, it is inevitable that there will be times when support is needed, so we will replace the encrypted battle report received by the capital post station with a battle report requesting support, so as to transfer most of the soldiers in the capital. ”
I turned my head and looked into the room, only to see that Concubine De was still hesitant and unwilling to make up her mind, and suddenly, she suddenly raised her head to face Fu Yuxiao, and saw that she seemed to be about to speak, so I attached my ear to the hole again.
"Xiao'er, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Fu Yuxiao was silent for a moment before she said slowly: "Mother, my son-in-law agrees with Mr. Yi's words." ”
"But he's your father, how can you..."
Before Concubine De's words were finished, Fu Yuxiao interrupted again: "Mother, haven't you forgotten how the second brother died?" Since the emperor is now also suspicious of Erchen, does Erchen have to sit back and wait to be killed and repeat the old path of the second brother? ”
"But..."
"Mother, although the sons want to compete for the throne, they will never do such a thing as killing their fathers, on the contrary, if the sons don't do it at this time, then the sons and you will not escape."
After Fu Yuxiao finished speaking, there was silence in the room again, and after a long time, I heard Concubine De say again: "In this way, this palace will immediately write a secret letter, and after you and Yi Gongzi leave the palace, it will be handed over to your uncle immediately, if your uncle also agrees to this matter, we will discuss it again." ”
Hearing this, I guessed that the conversation between them was about to end, so I quickly sat up, and motioned for Yanhua to take me down, and on the way back to the East Palace, Yanhua and I quietly tore off the masks on our faces.
After hiding the mask in her sleeve, Yeon-ha asked me in a low voice, "What do you say?" ”
I sighed lightly, shook my head slightly, and said, "Concubine De is too cautious, so she has to consult Li Shengqi's opinion before making a decision. ”
Yan Hua frowned lightly and asked, "Then what are you going to do now?" ”
I was silent for a moment before I said slowly: "Let's go back to the palace first, and then make plans when Yi Xuan comes back." "Since Yi Xuan is asked to deliver the letter, then the letter should not fall into Li Shengqi's hands, so I don't need to worry about this, but I am wondering what to do to successfully persuade Concubine De to rebel, her caution is really beyond my expectations.
As usual, when night came, Yi Xuan returned to the East Palace.
"I don't need to tell you about today's events." Yi Xuan took a sip of the tea on the table unhurriedly, and said lightly: "How did you watch that scene today?" ”
I was a little surprised: "How do you know?" ”
Yi Xuan sighed briefly, as if he was a little helpless: "The windows of the dormitory are closed, but from time to time there is a cold wind coming in the hall, which really reminds me of the roof. ”
"It's still summer." I couldn't help frowning, it turns out that Yi Xuan is so afraid of the cold?
"Don't talk about that." Yi Xuan opened his mouth to change the subject, threw the letter in the placket to me, and said slowly: "Think about what to do next." ”
I took the letter, unfolded it, read it carefully, and couldn't help but bow my head and ponder for a moment before I said slowly: "Can you get Li Shengqi's words?" ”
Yi Xuan quickly understood my plan, he nodded and replied: "This is not difficult, as long as you look up in the memorabilia that the emperor has reviewed, you can find it soon, I told Fu Yuxiao today that I will persuade Li Shengqi, so I don't have to go back to his mansion for the time being, I will go and get it tonight, and I can find it for you early tomorrow morning." ”
I pursed my lips and replied, "Okay, then I'll wait for good news." ”
Early the next morning, Yi Xuan sent me the fold, I studied the handwriting on it for a while, and I basically mastered the rules of Li Shengqi's handwriting, I imitated his handwriting and sent a secret letter to Concubine De Guifei as well, in which I affirmed the necessity of rebellion in Li Shengqi's tone, and said that I would order some ministers in the court who held military power to discuss together, and when everything was ready, I would send Yi Xuan to inform her.
Sure enough, after receiving this reply, Concubine De finally acquiesced in this rebellion, Fu Yuxiao was very excited when he learned about it, he probably thought that he was about to sit on the dragon chair above that person and on the top of ten thousand people, but who knows, all this is just a road I paved for Fu Yuying.
Some of Li Shengqi's henchmen are unwilling to assist in this matter, which can't help but give me a headache, if it weren't for the help of these people, I'm afraid Concubine De would not be so relieved and bold to act.
After thinking about it again, I suddenly remembered the Red Dust Pavilion, so I asked Yi Xuan to transfer the past affairs of these people from the hall one by one, and then use this to threaten them to cooperate with Concubine De to rebel.
I know that some of these people are even Li Shengqi's henchmen, but they are still very loyal to the state and society, so it is not surprising that some of them would rather resign and return to their hometowns than help Concubine De rebel.
But I didn't care, the emperor just said that I should get rid of Zuo Xiang and his henchmen, but he didn't say what to do with those who were still very loyal to him, so even if I forced these people to resign and return to their hometowns, there was still a reason to prevaricate the emperor.
