Chapter 38: Intrigue Inside and Outside the Court—Twenty-one

When Yun Xi returned to the Chengtian Gate, the time had just arrived; Yun Xi saw that although it was still early, he didn't want to go to the military department to work. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and the preparations for the military academy have been discussed before, and the relevant courses have been set up, as for what to teach these courses and who will teach them, Lao Zhu has not considered it well;

And the matter of the attack is not in a hurry, not in the past two days, Yun Xi said that the depressed person did not want to work, so he returned directly to the Wenhua Palace.

When passing by the Wenyuan Pavilion of the Wenhua Palace, Yun Xi took a special look. Now Concubine Lu and Yun Wei live inside, but they will have to move out in a few days, so what are Concubine Lu and Yun Wei thinking now? Yoon-hee thinks.

Concubine Lu is now worshipping the Buddha. Tomorrow, she will let another female official in the palace leave the palace in the way of being degraded out of the palace. This means that the plan to poison Yunxi is about to officially begin, and Concubine Lu's heart is becoming more and more uneasy, so he keeps worshipping the Buddha.

At three o'clock (half past six in the afternoon), Concubine Lu ended the time to worship the Buddha and returned to her bedroom. She looked at the surrounding decorations, "All this, whether she can still see it in the future, whether she can still live here, until Zhu Yuanzhang dies, it depends on the next few days." Concubine Lu thought.

At this time, the female official Tan Shi, who was going to leave the palace tomorrow in the way of being reprimanded out of the palace, walked in, saluted Concubine Lu, knelt down and said: "Tomorrow's slave maid will leave the palace tomorrow, I don't know what else Niangniang has to guide the slave maid?" "Just ask, are there any other instructions? Do you want to change the hexagram?

Concubine Lu closed her eyes and pondered for a while, and said slowly: "After you meet with You Shi, who left the palace before, and get the poison, you must also get the antidote, and the antidote and poison must be sent into the palace together." ”

Tan knelt on the ground and listened quietly, and when he saw that Concubine Lu no longer spoke, he said, "Niangniang is really a bodhisattva. ”

Concubine Lu glanced at her, saw that she just lowered her head, and said, "Do you think I am Gu Xiyunxi's life?" I am afraid of His Majesty's thunderous wrath. If Yun Xi is not dead, but only disabled, His Majesty may not be desperate to investigate to the end; But if Yun Xi's life is not guaranteed, His Majesty will definitely not give up, and it is more likely to be traced. Don't forget, the Qin and Jin domains are still there. ”

Tan still didn't speak, but her thoughts were tumbling in her heart. Concubine Lu's words were nonsense when she heard them, and the reason was not tenable at all. Once Yun Xi has an accident, whether he is dead or disabled, Lao Zhu will be furious, and he will never give up if he does not find out the real mastermind, or he thinks that the real mastermind behind the scenes. Concubine Lu's reason just now can only deceive herself, and no one else can deceive her.

But Tan felt relieved. It is more likely to succeed with a decisive person, but it is very likely that "the cunning rabbit dies, the lackeys cook, the birds are exhausted, and the good bow is hidden"; If Concubine Lu can even kill Yun Xi who has been raised by herself, then who can guarantee that she will not be disposed of in the future?

Concubine Lu herself knew that the reason she just said was untenable, and she couldn't even deceive herself, so she didn't say anything for a while. The two stayed silently for a while, and Concubine Lu said, "You go down, get ready tonight, and don't make a mistake tomorrow." ”

Tan replied "yes". Silently retreated.

Concubine Lu stayed by herself for a while and went out to have dinner with Yun Wei. At the dinner table, looking at Yun Wei's face that was obviously in a bad mood but still beating her spirits, Concubine Lu, who had loosened up and was about to stop the poisoning operation, became firm again: "My son is the most suitable for being the emperor, benevolent, kind, smart and agile, what is wrong?" Since Zhu Yuanzhang has chosen someone else, then I can only do it myself to remove the possibility of him becoming the crown prince. ’

================================================================

Let's talk about Yunxi. Yun Xi returned to the East Warm Pavilion of the Wenhua Palace, first asked Wang Jin, Wang Xi, Wang Gong and Wang Bu if there were any problems in the East Warm Pavilion today, and then focused on asking Wang Jin and Concubine Lu if there was any movement. Of course, there was still no movement. So Yun Xi relaxed his attention to Concubine Lu again, he thought about choosing a suitable place to put grain, and found out the map of the capital that he asked for from the military department and spread it on the table.

The structure of the capital has already been mentioned, so I will not repeat it here. The original castle gate warehouse found by the head of the family was at the north gate. Outside the north gate, because it is the location of the criminal department, Dali Temple and other public procuratorial organs, and because the execution of prisoners is also outside the Taiping Gate in the north, people generally do not like to live here, some streets and squares in the south of the city are full, but in the north of the city, not to mention the place outside the city, it is the place in the city, and it is good to have five houses that are inhabited in ten places; Even the soldiers were discouraged, and the military camps near the Taiping Gate in the north of the city were all half empty, and the commanders and envoys of the guard post would rather be uncomfortable in the military camps in the northwest than come here.

Therefore, the place where the grain is put is closer to the north gate. 'Or just set it on the north side of the Beimen Bridge, staggered to a place that is too prosperous?' There are barracks nearby, and it's easy to lend a piece of space; And the proximity to the barracks is also convenient for mobilizing soldiers in case of something. Yun Xi thought.

Basically deciding on the location, Yun Xi put away the map, looked at the hourglass, and the time was just a little more than the first hour (about 5:45 p.m.), planning to read the book for a while and then have dinner later. At this time, Wang Xi came in and reported: "Your Highness, the Lord of Wenying County has come to see you." ”

Of course, Yunxi was not surprised, and went out of the study to the living room to see Wenying. Moon Young still looks so lively, smiling and saluting with Yun Xi. As soon as Yun Xi saw her, his mood couldn't help but relax, and he returned the gift easily.

The two chatted about some light topics in the living room, mainly Yunxi and Moonyoung talking about things outside the palace. Wen Ying is only fourteen years old this year, which is a lively and active age, and she yearns for a different scenery outside the palace; But a prince and grandson like Yun Xi still have a chance to go out of the palace, and a royal princess like Wen Ying, the county lord, the county lord or something, it is impossible to have the opportunity to leave the palace before they get married.

Yun Xi is of course sympathetic to Wen Ying and them, but he can't help it. Lao Zhu attaches great importance to etiquette, and it is impossible to agree to let his granddaughter out of the palace; By the time Yunxi is in charge of his own house, it is estimated that Wen Ying has already been married, and he does not need his permission to leave the palace. So he could only talk more about things outside the palace to satisfy Wenying's imagination.

Wen Ying didn't have so many thoughts about Yun Xi, because she knew that she couldn't get out of the palace since she was a child, and she didn't have unrealistic fantasies, so she happily listened to Yun Xi talk about things outside the palace. The two talked for a while, Yun Xi was telling her the street scene of Shicheng Gate in the south of the city, just when he was thirsty and picked up the teacup to drink tea to moisten his throat, Wen Ying suddenly seemed to remember something, and said before Yun Xi spoke again: "Third brother, what books do you have in your study?" There are too few books in my study, so let me go to your study and pick up a few books I like and go back to read. ”

Yun Xi didn't think much about it, and said, "Then why not, come with me." With that, he took Wen Ying to his study.
