Chapter 28 Borrowing
Hearing the summons of the errand officer, Lu Yunsheng strode into Guo Siyuan's study, only to see Guo Siyuan standing on the Taishi chair, and Feng Guozhong standing aside.
The special study room set up in this Jingzhao Mansion occupies a large area, with the area of three ordinary bedrooms, in addition to the fixed desk, chair, bookcase, in the corner, on the cabinet, there are many antique porcelain vases and jade for hundreds of years. There is also a side seat for meeting guests at the desk. If you are tired of writing or reading, there is also a bamboo rocking chair and reclining chair on the right side of the main entrance, where you can comfortably take a nap for a while, and the configuration is of the highest quality.
"Lu Yunsheng of Tiwei Mansion, I have seen Lord Yin of the Mansion." Yunsheng crossed his hands respectfully towards Si Yuan.
"Lord Lu doesn't have to be polite, please take a seat."
Guo Siyuan smiled and made a "please" gesture, Lu Yunsheng nodded, and sat down in the guest seat on the left, Feng Guozhong followed, still standing respectfully aside.
As soon as the two of them sat down, two messengers hurried over to offer fragrant tea.
"I wonder what Lord Lu is looking for this mansion this time?" Guo Siyuan asked first.
Yunsheng said: "That's the case, today is the birthday of the queen's mother, Your Majesty ordered me to guard the palace to strictly protect the eastern capital, and there must be no incident that will alarm the people today." Originally, such a task was not difficult, but the adults also knew that there was an assassination case some time ago, which caused most of the people of my Tiwei Mansion to be sent to investigate, and there was no one to send, so today's patrol is to hope that Lord Yin can send a messenger to assist us in guarding. โ
"This ยทยทยทยทยทยท" Guo Siyuan stroked his long beard lightly, his face was embarrassed, "Lord Lu, this mansion knows that the Tiwei Mansion has been busy with Lord Liu's assassination case these days, and it is indeed tricky for the Holy Lord to make such a will. Although the government wants to help, if the Jingzhao Mansion is handed over to other confidential dispatches, it needs to be ordered by the officials. โ
Lu Yunsheng said: "Lord Yin, Gongwei Jingshi is also the responsibility of Jingzhao Mansion, but the focus this time is on my guard, my lord only needs to treat this matter as a personnel transfer to investigate the assassination case, and write an official letter to assist in handling the case and deliver it to the ministry." โ
"Although Lord Lu's method is good, if the officials check it out, find clues, and report it to the Yushitai, the responsibility will not be light." Guo Siyuan still has concerns.
Yunsheng said: "Lord Fu Yin, don't worry, if Yu Shitai investigates this matter, you will put all the blame on the Tiwei Mansion, and if there is anything, all of it will be borne by my Tiwei Mansion." โ
"What are you talking about, Lord Lu," Guo Siyuan said with a sullen face, "How can this mansion be a person who is afraid of sin, this mansion is just worried about the extraneous branches." โ
After a pause, Guo Siyuan thought for a while and said, "That's it, since Lord Lu said this, if this mansion refuses again, it will be too stingy." Okay, Lord Lu, I can write an order, from the end of today, the mission of my Jingzhao Mansion will be called by the Tiwei Mansion until the beginning of tomorrow, is that okay? โ
"Thank you, Lord Fu Yin!" Lu Yunsheng stood up happily and bowed with his hands crossed.
Guo Siyuan waved his hand and said: "It's all for the imperial court, it should be." โ
After Lu Yunsheng left, Feng Guozhong crossed his hand towards Guo Siyuan and said, "My lord, do you really want to hand over the command of the mansion to the Tiwei Mansion?" Do you trust them too much? โ
Guo Siyuan glanced at him coldly and said, "Then in your opinion, what should this government do?" โ
As soon as Feng Guozhong heard this, his hairs immediately stood up, which was clearly to let him not intervene. He immediately changed his words and said, "Don't dare, my subordinates are just worried about adults." โ
"Don't worry, this mansion has been an official for many years, and I know how to do it," Guo Siyuan looked out of the door, "I agreed to let the servants help them, but I didn't say that the power was handed over, it was only partial, enough to inspect the Eastern Capital, as long as there was control in hand, it would not hurt to send some people over." โ
"Your Excellency is wise." Feng Guozhong crossed his hands and bowed deeply.
East City, East City, Jingkangfang, Tiwei Mansion, Si Mo
At this time, Xiao Chongguang had already recalled all the guards and gathered in the compound in the mansion.
In the Tiwei Mansion, in addition to Xiao Chongguang and Lu Yunsheng, the two chief and deputy security chiefs came out, and the rest of the subordinates had a total of 150 guards, during which three hidden piles were arrested, and the remaining 147 people.
Although these guards are all as fierce as tigers, they will face extremely vicious assassins and thugs, in terms of means, they are no worse than them, and even better than them, at least, Xiao Chongguang and Lu Yunsheng have encountered difficult guys.
"Tonight is the Queen's birthday, and Your Majesty has said that no urgent or unlucky matter will be allowed today, so there will be some special tasks entrusted to you." Xiao Chongguang said loudly.
"Boss, what kind of mission is it?" One of the guards spoke up.
Xiao Chongguang said: "What are you in a hurry about? As for the specific matters of this mission, I will tell you about it today, and I will explain to you now that it is to remind the brothers that they should be prepared and have enough food and drink before they have the strength to do things. โ
"Whoa!" All the guards bowed and replied.
After the guards dispersed, Lu Yunsheng hurriedly returned.
"How? Did Guo Siyuan agree? โ
Before Lu Yunsheng could catch his breath, Xiao Chongguang couldn't wait to ask.
"Aren't you worried about me going out?" Lu Yunsheng said with a smile, "Guo Siyuan agreed, if I hadn't used the agitation method, the old boy would still want to delay the delay." โ
"Well done." Xiao Chongguang patted him on the shoulder and said.
Lu Yunsheng said again: "However, I always feel that he doesn't speak much, which makes me a little worried, I'm afraid there will be a difference." โ
"It doesn't matter," Xiao Chongguang waved his hand, "The errand is just a trick, as long as someone shows up." Let's go in and talk about the specific plan. โ
"Okay."
The two of them then turned and entered the inner hall.
The imperial city of the eastern capital, Hui'an Palace, at the end of noon
At this time, the door of Hui'an Palace was closed, and in the house, Song Lin was sitting cross-legged on the bed, meditating with his eyes closed.
In fact, he is practicing his own martial arts, placing his hands under his navel on top of each other, regulating his luck, making his internal strength deeper, and reaching the point where he can break wood and destroy stones with only dark energy.
"Knock Knock"
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Who?"
Song Lin opened his eyes and asked in a low voice.
The person outside the door also suppressed his voice and said: "Your Highness, I saw the queen's phoenix driving, and I was only a few steps away from the outside of Hui'an Palace." โ
This voice was Xiao Linzi, the attendant eunuch who served Song Lin, in order not to be discovered and disturbed, Song Lin specially sent him to guard outside the palace.
"Got it."
Song Lin got out of bed, opened the palace gate directly, and said to Xiao Linzi: "You tell you to go down and prepare to welcome the phoenix, and I will go to meet you." โ
"Whoa."
Xiao Linzi answered, and then trotted all the way to the back of the palace.
What did the queen do out of nowhere?
Song Lin thought to himself in his heart, and only felt that nine times out of ten it was related to the conflict between himself and the prince.
"Could it be that she is here to ask for sin? However, wouldn't it be unlucky to talk about it on your own birthday? โ
You know, the royal family attaches great importance to grand festivals and special occasions.
Song Lin still couldn't speculate, but now he couldn't continue to think about it, Xiao Linzi just walked on the front foot, and the queen's phoenix drove on the back foot, only to see eight eunuchs in a group of two, four in front and four in the back, carrying an open gold-inlaid mahogany sedan chair, you can directly see Queen Jiang sitting on it, around the sedan chair, followed by a row of palace maids and a row of serving eunuchs.
"The Queen Mother has arrived!"
The eunuch who walked in the front, holding a dustbrush, shouted loudly, and Feng Jia also entered the courtyard of Hui'an Palace, Song Lin saw it, and hurriedly tidied up his clothes to meet him, and then knelt down in front of the sedan chair and said: "The son sees the queen mother, the queen mother is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old." โ
"Let's be flat." Empress Jiang raised her hand and gestured.
"Thank you, Mother."
Song Lin stood up, and at the same time, the sedan chair was also put down, and two personal palace maids stepped forward and helped Jiang Hou down.
"Queen Mother, please come in."
Empress Jiang only took two maids to follow Song Lin inside, while the others waited in the courtyard.
The queen sat on the main seat, and Song Lin sat in the guest seat on the right. At this time, Xiao Linzi and another eunuch served fragrant tea to the two.
"The queen mother has a big birthday today, and I wanted to go to celebrate my birthday early in the morning, but unfortunately my son was confined to the palace by his father and couldn't go out, so I hope the queen mother will forgive her sins." After saying that, Song Lin bowed deeply with his crossed hands.
"Lin'er doesn't have to be polite." Empress Jiang sighed, "You say, you brothers are competing in martial arts, why do you shoot so hard?" What kind of system will it become? It's good now, it provokes Tianyan and is angry and grounded in Hui'an Palace. โ
Song Lin lowered his head and said: "The queen mother blames me for being too competitive, in order to win, I actually went to eat what kind of pills that hurt others and myself, and hurt the emperor and the eleventh brother, I am sorry for them, the queen mother, you can beat or scold, I admit it, this is my own doing." He sobbed as he spoke.
In fact, Queen Jiang was the most annoyed about the competition, especially when she saw her own son Song Yu being seriously injured, and anyone would be heartbroken.
However, after all, the hurtful King Xin is not his own child, and he is the master of the Six Palaces, so it is really difficult for Empress Jiang to come forward to teach a lesson, and Emperor Chu is also because of this, so he simply ordered the ban on King Xin.
Jiang Hou wanted to say something more this time, but King Xin's remorse was not the beginning, why was he embarrassed to continue to talk about him?
She shook her head, and then said, "Okay, today's birthday in this palace, I don't want to see crying and crying." Well, I will go back and beg your father to exempt you from punishment for the time being, and let you attend my birthday banquet today. You are the prince, you must participate, without you, what would it look like? This will not provoke the minister's criticism. โ
According to Empress Jiang's true feelings, she sincerely refused to see King Xin at the birthday banquet, but he was supported by Prime Minister Liang Ziqing, if Song Lin was the only one left at the birthday banquet, with Liang Xiang's suspicious character, he would definitely be suspicious, and he would definitely increase his efforts to deal with the prince in the future.
"Queen Mother, my son really doesn't have the face to attend your birthday banquet."
King Shin never looked up, and no one could see the expression on his face when he said this.
