Chapter 43 Where do the fallen leaves return?

"Come out" Yuan Bao Ju sat quietly in the teahouse, and heard the sound of falling leaves shaking not far away, so he knew that Yuan Song was back. He slowly poured out a cup of tea and handed it to Yuan Song, Yuan Song quickly sat down and reached out to pick up the herbal tea handed to him by Yuan Bao Ju and said, "Gongzi Xie"

"How's it going?" asked Yuan Bao Ju

Yuan Song slowly took out a roll of paper from his arms, and then handed it to Yuan Bao Ju very respectfully: "The villain suggested that the son should not look at it" After Yuan Song finished speaking, Yuan Bao Ju glanced at Yuan Song and said: "You order me again"

Yuan Song saw that Yuan Bao Ju was angry, and immediately replied: "The subordinates don't dare, just go one step late, Taiyuan Mansion has already been empty, this thing was found in Miss Erzhu's room, and this, the villain also brought it" After speaking, Yuan Song handed over an object to Yuan Bao Ju again, which was a fan specially customized for Er Zhuyan by He Bayue. During the period of returning to Taiyuan Mansion, Er Zhuyan has been in charge of copying the family rules and women's rings by Yeyana, and all the weapons on her body were confiscated.

Yuan Baoju always felt that Zhuge Muqing's identity was bizarre, and it was by no means what he said, so he let Yuan Song sneak all the way into Taiyuan Mansion. It just so happened that during Yuan Song's sneak in, Er Zhuyan followed Er Zhuzhao and others to Hebei, so Yuan Song did not see Er Zhuyan's true face, so naturally he couldn't copy the Yuan Bao Torch. However, Yuan Song found out that the Erzhu family did not have a righteous son named Zhuge Muqing, but heard from his subordinates that Erzhu Yan, the daughter of the Erzhu family, had a bad habit of confusing her brother's men's clothes.

"Childe, then we don't need to track down Er Zhu Yan's whereabouts" Yuan Bao Ju waved his hand, and then said: "Go down" After speaking, Yuan Bao Ju slowly opened the poem written by Er Zhu Yan:

There are plums, in fact, seven xi! Ask me to be a gentleman, and I will be lucky!

There are plums, in fact, there are three Xi! Please, my gentleman, I am in the future!

There are plums, and it is a basket! Ask me to be a gentleman, and I will say it!

After reading the poems written by Er Zhuyan, Yuan Baoju's face suddenly changed greatly, and he shouted angrily at Yuan Song, who had just gone out: "Come back"

Yuan Song heard the call of the Yuan Bao Torch, so he quickly walked to the side of the Yuan Bao Torch, and then held the sword and reported ten with both hands: "What does the son have to order" After speaking, he slowly raised his head, and saw the anger on the face of the Yuan Bao Torch, and the whole person was not very good.

"Sit down, this king has something to ask you" Yuan Bao Ju threw away the poem written by Er Zhu Yan, Yuan Song glanced at the place where Yuan Bao Ju threw out the paper, and then quickly did it.

"Childe Mo is not angry about this graffiti," Yuan Song cautiously looked tentatively at the Yuan Bao Torch.

"Where did you get this thing from" After speaking, Yuan Song saw that Yuan Baoju's whole face didn't seem to be very good. He said slowly: "This thing was obtained from the room of the eldest lady of the Erzhu family, Er Zhuyan, but the interest of the eldest lady of the Erzhu family is really peculiar, the wardrobe is full of men's things, I think this woman must not be a famous lady, there will be a man's folding fan and dagger, but it is really the same as the average woman in the boudoir."

Yuan Baoju heard this, the whole person's temper was suppressed violently, although Er Zhurong himself is notorious, now, Er Zhurong is dead, the Erzhu family must be torn apart, if you can get Er Zhuyan, this will definitely be a wise choice for him to be the king and hegemon in the future, and he has discussed with Yuan Ziyou, if Er Zhurong dies, the scene will not be controllable, he will revive the Great Wei, and let the Great Wei return to its former glory in one fell swoop.

Before Yuan Ziyu left, he repeatedly told Yuan Baoju that he must find Er Zhuyan no matter what, and it would be absolutely difficult to restore the grand occasion of the Great Wei without Er Zhuyan. In addition, an old man calculated that Er Zhuyan had the image of "having a phoenix coming to the ceremony", which is close to what Qin Tianjian said about "crape myrtle stars falling from the sky".

"Childe, the villain really doesn't know, and I hope that Childe will forgive his sins" said, Yuan Song quickly took out an object from the baggage, which was the dagger that Gao Huan once gave to Er Zhuyan when Er Zhurong was killed. After speaking, Yuan Song immediately took out a dagger from the items he packed for the Yuan Bao Torch and quickly presented it.

"This is also sent by He Liuhun" After speaking, Yuan Baoju glanced at the dagger in Yuan Song's hand, and for some reason, the anger in his heart increased a little. In the poems written by Er Zhuyan earlier, every sentence alludes to her friendship with Gao Huan, and even writes Gao Huan's words at the end of the article. However, this dagger was a tribute borrowed from Wang Yun when Cao Cao assassinated Dong Zhuo. Later, Cao Cao's assassination failed and he gave this thing to Dong Zhuo on the grounds of present, and after Dong Zhuo was killed by Lu Bu, the seven-star dagger disappeared. Now it has fallen into the hands of Er Zhuyan, and when she thinks of this, she can't help but feel curious.

After saying "Little I don't know", Yuan Song knelt on the ground like a frightened look, and the Yuan Bao Torch took out the dagger and shook it from side to side, and then slammed it on the table.

Yuan Song couldn't help but be at a loss when he saw the ingot torch like this. The ingot torch didn't pay much attention to him, and the ingot torch slowly pulled his hand from the rag, and then said unhurriedly, "Have you found any traces of the imperial brother?"

Yuan Song slowly raised his head and said: "Your Majesty carried the concubine in the direction of the White Horse Temple, presumably it won't be long before Er Zhuzhao and others will catch up" After speaking, Yuan Song paused a little puzzled and then said: "It's just that the subordinates have something to understand" After speaking, Yuan Song slowly walked to the side of Yuan Baoju, and accompanied Gao Huan to Er Zhuyan into the palace, and then Gao Huan came out of the palace alone with a woman, and recently, Gao Huan also behaved intimately with that woman, and even found a residence on the outskirts of the city to pick up the woman to live in the residence.

"You can see the woman's face clearly" Yuan Bao Ju seemed to hear the key clues, and raised his eyes to look at Yuan Song. Yuan Song thought about it with a little doubt, he had seen this woman before, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

Yuan Song thought about it carefully for a long time, but he still couldn't remember where he had seen this woman. "I can't see it very clearly, it's just that this woman's face is pale and there are blood stains on her body, not like she is seriously injured, but like she has just given birth and is weak and weak"

"The woman who has just given birth in the harem" Yuan Baoju thought about it carefully, in the harem, Erzhu Ying'e is jealous, how can there be a woman in the harem who is pregnant, even if there is, she will be killed by her, the only woman who is pregnant, only Erzhu Ying'e is alone.

Thinking of this, Yuan Baoju suddenly figured it out, he finally understood why Gao Huan saved Er Zhu Ying'e, he was not by Er Zhuyan's side at this time, and recently, all of Gao Huan's actions, not to mention that there have been changes there, I always feel that his recent activities are really too much, first to please the He Ba family, who has always been not very good with him, and even more after He Bayun was heavily punished by Er Zhu Zhao, he visited attentively, it turned out that he wanted to win over He Bayun, so as to give himself a lot of opportunities to improve.

"I see!" The ingot torch opened the fan and slowly fanned the wind, and the look of strategizing was in the bottom of his eyes.

Yuan Song looked at the Yuan Bao Torch with some confusion and said, "What is it like?"

Yuan Baoju looked at Yuan Song, and then said slowly: "Do you know why Gao Huan has acted so differently recently? There is naturally a master behind him, otherwise he alone would never have thought of winning over He Ba to gain the favor of Er Zhu Zhao. You must know that when Er Zhurong was alive, the three brothers of He Ba were close to Er Zhu Zhao, especially He Bayue, He Bayue once advocated letting Er Zhurong kill Gao Huan, and noticed this person's wolf ambition, but Er Zhurong loved and was only jealous of the power and ministers, but. Er Zhu Zhao will not think so, Er Zhu Zhao will take revenge if he has revenge, and he is stubborn and self-serving, he is in power, so he will naturally not reuse Gao Huan's faction, in this way, Gao Huan to win over He Bayun is definitely not something he can come up with, I am afraid that the mother of the imperial brother has made a lot of manpower and financial resources behind it."

When Yuan Bao Ju said this, Yuan Song remembered. No wonder he felt that the woman Gao Huan was holding in his arms that day was familiar to him, it turned out to be the queen of Emperor Xiaozhuang Yuan Ziyou. "But why did the queen do this?"

"Revenge," Yuan Bao Ju said slowly. Speaking of this, you can't blame Yuan Ziyou, at that time, Er Zhurong was on one side, and the mercenaries were self-respecting, and they were eyeing the Luoyang royal family. Not only Yuan Ziyou, but also the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty can clearly feel the threat of Er Zhurong, which is undoubtedly a fatal threat to Yuan Ziyou, saying that he will not let Er Zhu Ying'e give birth to a dragon son, he has been in Er Zhu Ying'e's decoction from the beginning, but who knows, Er Zhu Ying'e actually coerced the imperial doctor to finally reveal the matter, the imperial doctor committed suicide, and Er Zhu Ying'e killed many concubines in the harem, and this is the matter.

Later, Erzhu Ying'e successfully conceived Longzi, although Emperor Xiaozhuang was always by his side to take care of him, but he really didn't know that this child would be Yuan Ziyou's life-saving talisman. Regardless of whether the child is male or female, when the child falls to the ground, Er Zhurong will never let Emperor Xiaozhuang walk out of the palace alive.

Despite this, Erzhu Ying'e still can't see current affairs clearly, and insists on having this child. After so many years, Yuan Ziyou has been accommodating to Er Zhu Ying'e's world, but he really didn't expect that what he would get in exchange was that he would become more serious. Er Zhu Ying'e wanted Yuan Ziyou to get rid of the harem and be exclusive to her, which Yuan Ziyou did in reality, and the harem was basically useless for him. Despite this, Erzhu Ying'e was still not satisfied, and blindly let Yuanzi accommodate the world.

Thinking of this, Yuan Bao Ju couldn't help but shudder, to be honest, he was really not curious about who Zhuge Muqing was, he had lived in a dungeon since he was a child, and he had seen all the dangers in the world with his two brothers and sisters. All he has to do is fulfill his father's last wish and carry his clan forward. How the people of the world treat him, coldness, deception, he will get all these back in the future, and when he sits on the highest position one day, absolutely no one will care about his origin. Since childhood, the world has suffered from the warmth and coldness of the world, so that Yuan Bao Ju understands the importance of power and wealth to him, when he was a child, the prison environment was damp, and bullies were rampant in the prison, if it weren't for the fact that there were several brothers taking care of each other, I am afraid that he and his sister Yuan Mingyue are estimated to be no longer alive.

As soon as he thought of this, the ingot torch was full of taste. To be honest, for Er Zhuyan, whether she is Zhuge Muqing or Er Zhuyan. If it weren't for the emperor's entrustment and the Taoist priest's fortune-telling, such a woman would not be able to look down on the Yuan Bao Torch for half a point. In Yuan Bao Ju's heart, no matter how beautiful a woman in the world is or how graceful her posture is, she is not as good as his mother. In his opinion, his mother is the most beautiful and gentle person in the world. As for Er Zhuyan, he has already thought of a countermeasure, as long as he can make Er Zhuyan willingly fall in love with him and use it for him. When the time comes, the Erzhu clan behind Er Zhuyan will be returned, and the Longxi lineage will become a moat, and then he will only use the new dynasty to support Wei Ting, and then he will be able to restore the glory of his Yuan family.

Thinking of this, Yuan Baoju suddenly felt that he had to hold on to Er Zhuyan's trump card no matter what, no matter when, this trump card would become his last regression. However, according to the analysis of the current situation, it is very likely that Erzhu Zhao will unify the remnants left by Erzhu Rong, as for Erzhu Tianguang, Erzhu Shilong, Erzhu Zhongyuan, and Erzhu Dulu, although these people are on their own side, how can these old people easily obey Erzhu Zhao, who is not afraid of tigers with a newborn calf. In terms of force and support for troops, Er Zhu Zhao overpowered the other four uncles and brothers. But there is only one point, Erzhu Zhao occupies the vanguard, and it is Erzhu Zhao who first supports the emperor, which makes the rest of the people out of reach.

"But, Childe, my subordinates really don't understand, why Childe asked his subordinates to go down to explore the truth of this Erzhu girl, is it not that this person can be used by Son" Yuan Song was very puzzled, this Er Zhu Yan's appearance is not the most outstanding choice among the children of Erzhu Mansion, but Yuan Bao Torch is very optimistic about her.

"Presumptuous, the decision made by this son, how can you make more judgments" After saying that, Yuan Song retreated with the ingots torch.

After Yuan Song left, Yuan Bao Ju took the folding fan that Er Zhuyan used every day to study repeatedly. Since he was a child in prison, different inmates told their own criminal experiences, and these failures or successes allowed the six-year-old Yuan Bao Torch to learn various techniques to disguise himself. As a result, he also learned all kinds of routines and the ability to analyze things, he was not good at strategy, but he had a firm grasp of people's mental activities.

"Yuan Song" Yuan Bao Ju suddenly shouted outside the door, and Yuan Song immediately walked in from outside the room with a sword.

"What do you command?" said, Yuan Song looked up at him.

"Whether Uncle Huang has a letter, it stands to reason that the near future is the day when he leaves Liang, you should keep an eye on it a little tightly, and arrange to send him to Er Zhuzhao without leaving a trace. Uncle Huang is patriotic, and I have civil strife in Dawei, and we must not let Daliang have another chance. As he spoke, Yuan Bao Ju took out an envelope and handed it to Yuan Song

Yuan Song slowly took the letter, and asked with a slight disappointment: "Gongzi suspects that Daliang will repeat the old plan like last time" Yuan Baoju is not sure, he has a hunch that Daliang will not be so quiet, besides, Chen Qing almost died in the Northern Wei Dynasty last time, this time I am afraid that there will be no suitable generals to send troops, but it is not necessary to suspect that Daliang has a reason to do it. "You do what I say, as for the rest, there will be someone to help you then" After speaking, the ingot torch waved his hand, and Yuan Song immediately went down.

On the side of Southern Liang, since the moment when Yuan Yu decided to return to China, Emperor Wu of Liang was very reluctant, and he often went in and out of various places with Yuan Yu. It can be said that they are inseparable, firstly, Emperor Liang admires Yuan Yu's talent very much, and secondly, Emperor Liang's beloved daughter Princess Yongding loves Yuan Yu very much, and has repeatedly asked Emperor Liang to give her and Yuan Yu a decree. Knowing that Yuan Yu loved the maidservant girl for ten minutes, this Yongding princess did not find trouble for Su You, but fortunately, Yuan Yu blocked Su You every time.

This time I knew that Yuan Yu was going to leave Southern Liang, this Liang Wu Emperor Xiao Yan was very unhappy in his heart, for Emperor Liang Wu, Yuan Yu was talented, and his calligraphy and painting were a must. If you stay in Nanliang, it will become a good story in the future, but unfortunately Yuan Yu still thinks in his heart that his mother country has no intention of serving Daliang, since returning to China is Yuan Yu's wish, it is not the beauty of adults.

Emperor Wu of Liang took Yuan Yu for a walk in the Imperial Garden, and Yuan Yu always showed a polite appearance. Whether it is poetry, songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Yuan Yu can be on par with Xiao Yan. Thinking of this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but speak again, motioning for Yuan Yu to stay. "Wen Ruo's talent is unparalleled in the world, why bother to be obsessed with Dawei, why not stay in my Daliang and play with the widow"

Seeing this, Yuan Yu immediately leaned over and said, "King Liang is loved, and the ministers are really grateful, but the homeland is in crisis, and as a royal family of the clan, it should live and die with the country."

After that, Emperor Liang saw that the high-ranking official Yu Lu could no longer keep Yuan Yu, so he thought of his princess Yongding, and planned to stay with the position of a concubine. Thinking of this, Emperor Liang quickly walked to Yuan Yu's side, stretched out his hand to help him, and then said: "Wen Ruo has been in Liang for a long time, and I don't see a female dependent, my Princess Yongding often praises Wen Ruo in front of me, I don't know if Wen Ruo has the heart to take root in my Liang Dacheng" Thinking of this, Emperor Liang Xiao Yan couldn't help but sigh: "The tomb of the former king is in Han, Jiang Wei is in Shu, and he is famous in the place, why bother with the locality?" ”

When Yuan Yu heard it, this was Emperor Liang's plan to keep him as his son-in-law, the princess of Liang State, the beauty of the flower and the moon, and the wealth of sinking fish and geese was not a few, Yuan Yu knew that this was Emperor Liang's strategy to keep people. Since he has promised Yuan Baoju to return to the north, he naturally will not stay here for the sake of his children's affection, and if he doesn't really stay, he will not marry the princess. Seeing this, Yuan Yu couldn't help but sigh: "Death is still in the north, and life is also in life." Thinking of this, Yuan Yu couldn't help but feel a little sad, yes! Death wants to be able to return to the homeland, let alone survive.

Seeing that Emperor Liang promised a high-ranking official and married a daughter, Yuan Yu sighed even more in his heart. Seeing the repeated gracious retention, Yuan Yu was instantly at a loss, and immediately knelt on the ground and said: "King Liang cherishes talents, and the world knows it." King Liang's demeanor is unparalleled in the world, but it is a pity that Wen Ruoshi is difficult to obey, the country is in crisis, Wen Ruozi can not stand by, the royal family withered, the rebels are everywhere, the responsibility of protecting the family and defending the country, Wen Ruo can not shirk, Liang Wang invited, Wen Ruo knows that he is shallow in learning, I am afraid of slackness, Liang Palace is full of talents, there will be no shortage of capable people, King Liang is generous to others, and his reputation is spreading, I believe that it will not take time, at that time, the door will be like a city. ”

"Alas! After all, I can't tolerate the talent of the beam! Seeing this, Emperor Liang couldn't persuade Yuan Yu, so he had no choice but to look up to the sky and sigh. He asked Yuan Yu tentatively: "Wen Ruo knows how many geese fly in from the north every year, stay in the south for a few months, and leave when the spring flowers bloom."

Seeing this, Yuan Yu of course understood that Emperor Liang was asking him how many geese flew in a winter, which was clearly asking him what would happen if the Northern Wei Dynasty attacked Liang after he left Liang.

"The wild goose is the most affectionate, if there is really that day, it will retreat and avoid the three houses, and the autumn flying wild goose will send acacia, and the flying beam will not shoot"

Emperor Liang saw that Yuan Yu had already expressed his intentions, and even if he returned to Great Wei, he would not do anything harmful to Southern Liang, so of course he happily let him go. Yuan Yu also knew that there would be no return to his homeland, and when he thought of the retrospective journey that he had separated from his father since he was a child, he planned to fight.

"Your Majesty, the foreign minister has a request, I don't know whether to say it or not" After saying that, Yuan Yu knelt down straight at Emperor Liang

When Xiao Yan saw it, he immediately helped Yuan Yu up, to be honest, he still loves Yuan Yu very much in his heart, since Yuan Yu is unwilling to stay, he can't force people to make it difficult: "What does Wen Ruo mean by this?"

"The minister is willing to be asked for by others, and I hope that King Liang can help"

"Wen Ruo, please this is for the maid of the Huxin Pavilion, Wen Ruo, it's not that I don't agree to you, this woman is the daughter of a criminal minister, I have my own decision on this matter" After saying that, Emperor Liang helped Yuan Yu up, and ordered the little eunuch to send Yuan Yu back to the residence, after Yuan Yu left, Chen Jiansun, the big chamberlain beside Emperor Liang, slowly walked up to Emperor Liang and said: "Your Majesty, the old slave has a plan, maybe it will work" The words must be, Chen Jiansun whispered a few words in Emperor Liang's ear, and Emperor Liang instantly smiled. "Good plan, good plan, you can do it"

"No," Chen Jiansun said and left slowly.
