Chapter 119, Prince Zhao Zhe
Yongping 18th year, March 20.
The news of the arrival of the crown prince Zhao Zhe in Pingzhou alarmed the officials of all sizes in Pingzhou.
Fang Tai, the transfer envoy, personally took the prince to the palace and settled down.
Then on this day, officials of all sizes came to visit separately.
It's just that for the crown prince, he only has those few people he wants to see, so most of them haven't seen them.
That night, the prince asked Fang Tai if there was anyone from the Horse Mansion who came to see him, but Fang Tai shook his head.
In this regard, the prince only smiled meaningfully, and said that he would go to the Horse Mansion the next day.
At this time, it was also dinner time.
Zhao Hanyan and Zhang Xiang are now husband and wife, and the relationship between the two has also improved by leaps and bounds, with a qualitative leap, she is a new wife today and radiant all day, and when the people in the house see her, they all feel that the princess is like a different person, and the cold that originally penetrated into the bones on her (shēn) has completely disappeared, just like the (chūn) wind in March, warming people's hearts.
Because of this, the little slave was with the princess all day long, looking at her with a smile from time to time, sometimes showing a meaningful smile, sometimes revealing a small snickering smile, with a look of 'you have been seen through by me', which made Zhao Hanyan (shēn) uncomfortable, as if the little secret in her heart was peeped at by her, and turned to stare at her seriously.
Then, the little slave offered the god of grievance (qíng) and lowered his little head.
At this time, Zhao Hanyan had already coiled up his original long hair, which was a symbol of the woman, which was more graceful and full of charm.
Zhang Xiang, who was full, wiped the corners of his mouth and looked at her: "Why didn't the princess let Ming Heng go to see the prince, all the big and small officials in Pingzhou went, if Ming Heng didn't go, I'm afraid it would be inappropriate!" ”
"I won't go." Zhao Hanyan snorted lowly, with an arrogant tone: "This prince has bullied Gao Ping since he was a child, and he is not right with Gao Ping, why should he go to see him?" My father didn't say that he would let Gao Ping go to see him, he said it himself, come and see me, so why did Gao Ping go to see him? Gao Ping doesn't go, don't go to the horse, we don't know he's coming, what's so great about being a prince, everyone revolves around him, Gao Ping is not uncommon! ”
Belch...
Dare (qíng) she is angry with the prince, she doesn't give this prince any face, it's not that kind of special annoyance, it can only be said that she doesn't like it!
Zhang Xiang felt funny, so he nodded: "Okay, then I won't go." ”
Zhao Hanyan raised his head: "Among these many princes, the one that Gao Ping looks at is the second prince Zhao Qi, if he comes, Gao Ping may go to see it." ”
"That's right, donkey, Gao Ping still has something to discuss with the donkey, Gao Ping will call the pony name in the future, and I don't want to have such an unfamiliar title with the pony."
"Okay, this royal rule is twisted and pinched, I have long wanted to change it."
"Hmm... To the internal colt or call me Gao Ping, and to the outside you have to call the princess, although this royal rule is a little cumbersome, but it can't be bad, you can't let outsiders gossip, that's disrespectful to the royal family. ”
"How nice the lady and the husband are! Actually, I have a better name, I call you wife, you call me husband. ”
“???” Zhao Hanyan.
"Haha, just kidding, let you call you unaccustomed to it, just be happy."
"I like to call you Mingheng"
……
The deep night gradually enveloped Pingzhou City.
After the hour, a horse-drawn carriage drove down the street, then crossed the street and stopped in front of the Kangfu Gate.
A man dressed in black stepped out of the carriage, knocked on the door, and arched his hand to the person who opened the door, and after a while, the young man Kang Yu, who was dressed in bedclothes, came out and saluted him, and welcomed him in.
In the living room of Kangfu, the oil lamp that had been extinguished was rekindled, and the little boy of Kangfu, who was only seventeen years old this year, looked at the young man in black in front of him, and on his immature face, a pair of old eyes looked at him.
"Little boy." The man in black saluted him, and then handed him a letter: "This is an urgent letter sent by Mr. Wei's subordinates, and the little boy will understand it after reading it." ”
Kang Yu took the letter and opened it.
The servant in the house brought a pot of tea, and the young man in black drank the tea and waited for him to finish reading the letter.
After nearly half an hour to read the letter, Kang Yuqi (shēn) walked to the oil lamp and burned the letter to ashes.
Then Zhuan (shēn) looked at the young man in black: "How can I believe that you were sent by Mr. Wei?" ”
"This is the order of the owner of Donghu Village, and today, only Mr. Wei holds this token." The young man pulled out a white token.
Kang Yu recognized this token, it was indeed Wei Lie, the owner of East Lake Village, if it wasn't for Wei Lie's own hand, no one in the world would have been able to snatch this token from him.
He naturally believed it at this time.
The young man continued, "Little Prince, Mr. Wei has said, be sure to ask Little Boy to help him complete the things he asked for in his letter (qíng) before May. ”
Kang Yu was silent with his hands facing the dark sky outside, and after a while, he spoke up: "Can the rest of the people in Pingzhou City listen to me?" ”
"Don't worry, Mr. Wei had already instructed them before leaving Pingzhou that once the little boy was in need, they would drive the power in their hands and be sent by the little boy. Moreover, the Northern Liao people have also infiltrated Pingzhou City, and they will contact Xiao Gongzi at the right time. The young man replied.
Thinking of the content of the letter just now, the corners of Kang Yu's mouth trembled unconsciously.
Liangzhejiang Road plus Jiangnan East Road, this Jiangnan nearly 250,000 stone of grain!
To destroy, is it easy?
And now that the crown prince and the household servant Dou Qi have gone to Jiangnan to escort them to the prison, it is even more difficult to complete this matter under their noses.
The most important thing is that the grain of Liangzhejiang Road and Jiangnan East Road take different routes.
The grain of the Liangzhejiang Road will go directly from Linzhou Mansion to the north, while the Jiangnan East Route will enter the Yangtze River first from the Qinhuai River in Pingzhou City, and then enter the canal from the Yangtze River to the north.
The escort officers and soldiers along the way, I don't know how many escorts there will be.
How can this be done to destroy them at the same time?
He didn't expect Mr. Wei to make this move.
He was well aware of the importance of this batch of military rations to the Southern Chu army (xìng).
The young man looked at Kang Yu's tangled expression, and said slowly: "Little boy, according to Mr. Wei's news, now the Southern Chu army has gone north to send troops to Liangzhou, with the privy envoy Wenbo as the commander, and the grain north of the Yangtze River has also been launched one after another, transported to Liangzhou, and the grain north of the Yangtze River cannot be moved. Mr. Wei was able to take the opportunity to start an incident from Xichuan. ”
"Is Xichuan's grain and grass also in Mr. Wei's calculations?" Kang Yu asked.
The young man nodded: "There are Miss Liu and Mr. Yang in Xichuan, and they will not go on a business trip, so here in Jiangnan, please ask the little boy." ”
Kang Yu gasped deeply.
Wei Lie's plan is too (yīn) poisonous.
Once successful, the consequences are simply unimaginable.
Kang Yu hesitated.
From his personal point of view, he didn't want so many people to die in the Southern Chu army.
But in terms of hatred, he really wanted Wenbo to die.
According to Wei Lie's news, although Zhang Jian was the culprit in the fall of Liangzhou, Wenbo was the real culprit who indirectly led to the tragic death of the Honglu Temple mission at the hands of the Northern Liao.
It is precisely because of the tragic death of all the people of the Honglu Temple Mission that in the past two years, the imperial court has withdrawn all the people who have a relationship with the Honglu Temple Mission in the DPRK and China, and used all kinds of trumped-up charges to distribute the army, fill the army, behead the beheaded, and resign from the office, and do everything to the extreme, resulting in the descendants of the Honglu Temple Mission, even if they are a little bit of distant relatives, have no power in the court.
Moreover, Wei Lie also said that this was promoted by Wenbo after (shēn), which is to borrow Zhao Yan (shēn) as the emperor's suspicion.
For Kang Yu, this style of the imperial court is undoubtedly chilling, and the plaque given to him as the 'House of Loyalty' in Kang Mansion has become a fake style.
He knew that if Wenbo and Northern Liao lost this battle, they would definitely be condemned.
But in this case, a lot of people will die, and it is not terrible to die in battle, but it is terrible to starve to death on the battlefield.
Those are all the armies that protect the prosperous world of Southern Chu, and they shouldn't have such an end.
Kang Yu hesitated, silent, and his face (yīn) sank terribly.
The young man's eyes were also very vicious, and he saw the kindness of the woman in his eyes, so he snorted coldly: "Little boy, those who do great things must not be soft-hearted, there must be sacrifices in everything, now that the court has been wary of you and will no longer be reused, why should the little boy hesitate?" As long as Mr. Wei succeeds, overthrows Southern Chu, and restores the previous dynasty, you will be a meritorious minister, and he (rì) ascends to the court again, and his achievements are also a matter of being captured, and the Southern Chu court is not kind to you, so why should you be loyal to him again? ”
"You let me think about it." Kang Yu waved his hand.
When it comes to this, the young man doesn't want to say more, and this kind of talk stops at the point, and it can't be hard (bī).
He said to Kang Yu: "Little boy, I will give you a day to think about it, tomorrow (rì) night, before the gate of Pingzhou City is closed, I will leave Pingzhou in the next day, I hope to get a good news from you, return to Mr. Wei, and say goodbye!" ”
After the young man was sent away by the servants, Kang Yu was completely sleepy, and sat calmly in the hall, the hall of Nuoda seemed extremely deserted, and his (shēn) shadow was also unusually lonely.
My mother no longer lived in Kangfu and moved to Qingguang Monastery in Laolonghe.
Since the death of his father and two elder brothers in the fall of Liangzhou, Kangfu has also been shattered, without his father's protection, his brother's pain (ài), his small heart does not know how much to bear, and his small (shēn) body has also shouldered the heavy responsibility of revitalizing Kangfu, if it were not for his mental toughness, I am afraid it would not be able to support it now.
Kang Yu is a very smart person, with scheming and city government that do not match his age, otherwise Wei Lie would not have valued him at the age of seventeen and personally came to Pingzhou to find him to cooperate.
From Wei Lie's letter just now, he already understood Wei Lie's entire plan.
Wei Lie wanted to cut off the supply of grain and grass to the two important places of Jiangnan and Xichuan, so that the Southern Chu army would no longer have the ability to fight in the later period.
The best result was that the Southern Chu army was short of supplies in the later period and chose to withdraw the army, and the Northern Liao people did not take advantage of the victory to pursue and held Liangzhou, so that Liangzhou has always become an important place to deter Southern Chu.
The worst result was that the Northern Liao people were a little more fierce and pursued after the victory, so that the Southern Chu was defeated and suffered heavy losses.
Either way, Wenbo, who was the commander of (shēn), would inevitably be condemned by the imperial court, and in the eyes of the imperial court, failing to recapture Liangzhou would be a defeat, but the sentence for the former was different from that of the latter.
Kang Yu's purpose in choosing to cooperate with Wei Lie was just to bring down Wenbo, and now that he is the only way to have a chance to avenge his father and brother.
But I am afraid that the result of the former is not enough to bring down Wenbo, and it is just a misdemeanor.
The latter is okay, and the result of the latter is no less than the capital crime of Zhang Jianliangzhou, but if it is the latter, countless innocent people will die.
Liangzhou has already let the Northern Liao people slaughter once, and also killed his father and brother, he hated the Northern Liao people to death, if he repeats the mistakes of the past, he will have a share of his intervention, and his heart will be difficult to peace.
That's where he struggles.
As for whether Wei Lie can take this opportunity to overthrow Southern Chu and restore the country, he doesn't care, he, like many people, as long as it is not a foreigner who invades the land of Southern Chu, he doesn't care who is the emperor.
He sat in the hall for two hours.
After the third watch, he finally got up (shēn) and slowly walked to the mourning hall where his father and brother's tablets were placed.
……
In the early morning of the second (rì), Zhang Xiang and Zhao Hanyan received a report from the people in the palace: "The princess, the concubine, and the prince (diàn) have come down and are waiting in the hall." ”
Belch...
Zhang Xiang, who was combing Zhao Hanyan's hair, was stunned for a moment.
"Let's go down, let's just say that this princess is dressing up, let (diàn) wait for a while."
Zhao Hanyan sent his subordinates away, and then grabbed Zhang Xiang's hand, unhurried, with a leisurely expression: "Ming Heng, go on, what are you in a daze, hang him first." ”
"It's a little bit bad!"
"He came by himself, Gao Ping didn't let him come."
"Okay, then let's hang it first!"
The two couples combed their hair slowly, dressed up, and it took nearly half an hour to walk out of the east room hand in hand.
At this time, the crown prince Zhao Zhe was sitting in the hall watching the calligraphy and paintings in the hall, and there was no sense of anxiety on his face.
However, the subordinates of the Horse Mansion, seeing the prince like this, were silent one by one and did not dare to speak out.
After a while, he heard footsteps outside the door, and the prince turned around.
Seeing Zhao Hanyan and Zhang Xiang who both walked in, the prince smiled and walked up: "Imperial sister, long time no see." ”
"Gao Ping has seen (diàn) down"
"明恒見 (diàn)下"
Facing the prince who came over, the two couples hurriedly bowed (shēn) and bowed.
As soon as the people in the house were served, they also hurriedly knelt on the ground.
Zhao Zhe's originally happy face also showed a little unhappiness: "Alas, when did the imperial sister meet this king like this?" The king remembered that the royal sister had always been unkind to the king in the past. ”
Zhao Hanyan was polite and polite, but smiled slightly: "In the past, Gao Ping was young and ignorant, and it was a great favor to Gao Ping that he was not blamed, but now he is the prince, how dare Gao Ping make another time." ”
Zhao Zhe smiled meaningfully and said, "That being the case, why did the imperial sister make this king wait for so long?" Aren't you calling this a second time? ”
Zhao Hanyan was not in a hurry: "(diàn) is angry, (diàn) comes down suddenly, Gao Ping is not prepared at all, Gao Ping just got up late with the horse, and his appearance is not good, I am afraid that I will stain my eyes, so I spent some time to straighten up, and I hope to forgive me." ”
"Well, that's it, whatever you want! Don't talk about these useless things, get up quickly! Zhao Zhe couldn't help her, so he hurriedly spoke.
Zhang Xiang and her stood up.
At this time, Zhang Xiang also looked at the prince in front of him.
can be regarded as dignified, and the majesty between the eyebrows is gradually revealed, and it doesn't look like Zhao Hanyan, it should be with the old emperor.
Zhao Zhe was also looking at him, with three points of surprise in his eyes, five points of doubt, and two points of surprise.
"Zhang Mingheng, I haven't seen you for a long time, do you still recognize this king?"
Zhao Zhe suddenly spoke.
