Chapter 682: Half-Broken Words
It rains heavily at night, but during the day, the sun is blazing like fire, scorching the earth.
Thinking about what happened in the Cishou Palace in the morning, Qingyang was restless when he sat in the main hall.
The rules in the palace are strict, and the few people she can trust in the Changxin Palace are all married from Shudu, but when she asks them to inquire about the news, nothing is fine, and if there is anything, she will only startle the snake.
In the afternoon, the weather came down, but the weather was too boring.
"Lord Yunguan sent someone to come over and say that he had found a book of piano scores in the past few days, like the remnants of the scores left by Gu Pudao from the previous dynasty, and asked if it was rare for Niangniang to ......," the waitress walked in and said.
In the summer of this year, the weather was very hot, and the rain poured down at every turn, and it was inconvenient to enter and exit, Qingyang was too lazy to go to Chongfu Guanlidao, and he was too lazy to summon Yun Puzi into the palace to talk, but he didn't want Yun Puzi to find some rare things to offer at every turn these days.
If it was before last night, Qingyang wouldn't think much about it, but she just wanted to let people directly accept Yun Puzi's piano score, and she didn't need Yun Puzi to enter the palace to ask for peace on such a hot day, and her mind turned around, Chen Ruyi relayed the words of Yang En, Marquis of Liyang, His Majesty's strange performance in Cishou Palace today, and went to Zhao Guiren to live for a while at noon.
"I haven't seen Lord Yunguan for a while, I have been reading Taoist books for the past few days, and there are several things that I don't understand, just ask Lord Yunguan to come into the palace to explain one or two, and I want to thank him for thinking about the ......palace on such a hot day," Qingyang said, asking people to invite Yun Puzi into the palace.
Chongfuguan, as a royal Taoist temple, is in the imperial city, not far from the palace, a stick of incense past, Yun Puzi ran over.
Qingyang still felt stuffy when he sat in the main hall, and he didn't know if Yun Puzi had practiced any exercises, so he walked in from the main hall, his snow-white beard and face were ruddy, and there was not the slightest sweat stain on his eyebrows.
"Han Qian dared to risk the disapproval of the world, but this time he asked his eldest son Han Wenxin to be the son of Hou Shizi, and the palace heard most people talk about him or he generally wanted to arrange the aftermath of the death, and then personally led the soldiers and horses to participate in the Hehuai war, and there were probably many people in the court who would be happy to see Tangyi and the Muguls kill and lose both, right?" Qingyang left a few female officials by his side, Chaoyun Puzi asked.
"It should be so," Yun Puzi couldn't see anything unusual in Changxin Palace at this time, and said, "Your Majesty can ignore the opposition of the Imperial Historical Observatory and the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and so happily approve the excerpt of the Marquis of Qianyang, you should have such an idea, right?" ”
"Your Majesty has such an idea, but in the end, I am still worried that Han Qian really has three longs and two shorts, and no one in the court can control the Xinjin Hou, but it is not good, and I am a little worried," Qingyang said, "Three days ago, His Majesty specially asked Chen Ruyi to go to the Liyang Marquis Mansion to ask for advice, and also mentioned this matter, and the Liyang Marquis said that the Xinjin Marquis and Han Qian seem to be not on good terms, but all major things are not harmonious. I don't know what this Chen Ruyi thinks, when he returned to the palace from the Liyang Marquis Mansion the day before yesterday, he didn't immediately mention that the Marquis of Liyang said this, but it was only when His Majesty asked in detail last night what speculation the Marquis of Liyang had about the attitude of the Marquis of Xinjin, he suddenly brought it up......"
"Impossible!" Even though Yun Puzi had long expected that Chen Ruyi or An Jixiang would have someone who was Lu Qingxia's shadow, after confirming it, he couldn't suppress the shock in his heart, and his voice became sharp.
"How could it be?" Qingyang asked as he looked at Yun Puzi.
Yun Puzi realized that he was a little out of shape, sat down a little upright, and said: "Yang En was involved in the edict of the Queen Mother back then, and he should have a clearer understanding of the relationship between the Marquis of Qianyang and the Marquis of Xinjin than the courtiers, so it is impossible to say such a thing?" ”
"The Marquis of Liyang may be more aware of the relationship between the Marquis of Qianyang and the Marquis of Xinjin, but how can Yun Daochang conclude that Han Qian and Li Zhihe are not pretending to be 'not harmonious', and using this as a joke to show the imperial court, and nothing else?" Qingyang Shen couldn't help but be stern and asked.
Although she has had to rely on Yun Puzi over the years, although she has a deep relationship with her brother Wang Yong and Yun Puzi, it does not mean that she completely believes that Yun Puzi is loyal to her and has no second heart.
What's more, Yun Puzi has already stated that she is by no means her personal minister, who knows which side Yun Puzi is on at this moment?
"I do know some secrets that outsiders don't know, so I can conclude that the 'discord' between the Marquis of Qianyang and the Marquis of Xinjin will never be a pretense, of course, they may even choose to cooperate in the future. However, just like the secrets of Niangniang's side, Lao Dao will never leak it to outsiders, and if there are any secrets on the side of Qianyang Hou and Xinjin Hou, please forgive Lao Dao for inconvenience and confession. Yun Puzi said.
"You're confessing." Qingyang saw that Yun Puzi was putting on a detached posture, and he couldn't force him to ask what secrets he knew, so he frowned and asked, "Since Yun Dao Chang has concluded that Yang En would never say such a thing, why did Chen Ruyi deliberately muddy the waters at this time?" If he said this, it would only be more beneficial to Han Qian and Tang Yi, after all, it would make His Majesty more wary of Li Zhihe - Yun Dao Chang wouldn't say for sure that he was not Han Qian's person, right? ”
"At first glance, this matter seems to be beneficial to Tangyi, but there is no need for Tangyi to do these things that add to the snake," Yun Puzi asked hesitantly, "What else is abnormal in the palace in the past two days?" ”
Although Qingyang did not have full trust in Yun Puzi, he had no other way than to rely on Yun Puzi at this time, so he told Yang Yuanpu about all kinds of abnormalities in Cishou Palace and his visit to Zhao Guiren before noon, and said: "Today's incident is really weird......
When Yun Puzi was thinking deeply with his white eyebrows, a eunuch serving in the Chongwen Hall walked in with a whisk in his hand and said:
"Zhou Wengui has seen the concubine Niangniang, Your Majesty said: The weather is unbearable, Your Majesty wants to go to Nanyuan to avoid the office, please ask the concubine Niangniang and the eldest prince to accompany the escort......"
"At this time, go out of the palace to Nanyuan?" Qingyang looked at the eunuch who announced Yang Yuanpu's words in surprise and suspicion, and couldn't see anything suspicious on his face, so he could only suppress the shock in his heart at the moment and signal that he would go back first.
Of course, she would not suspect that the oracle was false, after all, Yang Yuanpu went out of the palace to escape the summer, and the movement was by no means thirty or fifty people out of Jinling City; Concubines, eunuchs, guards, horses, and accompanying officials, etc., are vast and vast, not to mention tens of thousands of people.
Besides, Yang Yuanpu summoned Huang Xi and Guo Liang into the palace early in the morning, which is likely to arrange "going out of the palace to escape the summer".
Of course, Qingyang would not simply think that Yang Yuanpu suddenly decided to leave the palace at this time, it was really to "escape the summer"!
Since Yang Yuanpu has decided so, unless Shen Yang and other ministers or the Queen Mother can dissuade her, she can only act as a harem concubine, Qingyang said to Yun Puzi with apprehension about the unknown fate:
"Yun Dao Chief, you go back to Chongfu Temple first, maybe Your Majesty will also order Yun Dao Chang to accompany you - suddenly such a big thing, I will go to Cishou Palace first to see what is going on."
Yun Puzi Shen said sternly:
"No, Niangniang must not go to Cishou Palace or Chongwen Hall at this moment. At this time, there is still a period of time before the palace gate is closed, and His Majesty's imperial decree to go out of the palace to escape the summer should not have reached Chongfumen, please take the eldest prince to Chongfuguan to avoid disasters at this moment, and the situation in the palace will change greatly at any time! ”
"Why do you say that?" Qingyang stared at Yun Puzi and asked.
She also expected that there was a problem with the situation, but at this time, it might only take half a stick of incense to leave the palace with her son, and Yang Yuanpu would send someone over to question her why she resisted.
How will she respond?
Could it be that the situation in the palace will be as Yun Puzi suggested, and there will be a sudden earth-shattering change in this half-burnt incense time?
Going out of the palace to avoid trouble is by no means a decision that can be made lightly.
Yun Puzi knows the rules of the palace very well, even if Qingyang is willing to go to Chongfuguan at this time, but he can't convince the people around Changxin Palace, if they stop him, or there is no neat ceremony, it's just that the concubine and the eldest prince ran out of the palace with the two people, and they can run to Chongfuguan through the heavily guarded Chongfu Palace gate, it is really hell.
Of course, Qingyang went to Chongfuguan, as long as it was not out of the imperial city, the rules were not particularly exquisite, and there was no need to ask for a decree, nor did it need the Ministry of Internal Service to send official ceremonial drivers and guards.
Fortunately, the palace envoys and other female officials of Changxin Palace are mainly old people brought by Qingyang from Shudu, Yun Puzi mainly persuaded Qingyang first at this time, and said urgently:
"The second prince of Cishou Palace is not really the 'second prince', from His Majesty's actions today, it can be concluded that he should have known about this from Chen Ruyi. And Chen Ruyi is the secret son that Lu Qingxia put by His Majesty's side, so all His Majesty's reactions today, as well as the sudden need to leave the palace to escape the summer at this time, should be a showdown with the Queen Mother, in fact, they are all in Lu Qingxia's control. His Majesty was still too angry, he didn't even summon the minister's secret discussion, and was instigated by a few eunuchs, and decided this matter without authorization, which forced the Queen Mother to kill him. Of course, His Majesty may not trust any of the ministers anymore! Niangniang, if you go to see the Queen Mother at this time, you will definitely be detained, and even the eldest prince will have to worry about your life, and Your Majesty will probably not wait for the escort soldiers and horses to come and walk out of Chongyang Gate! ”
"Why do you say that the second prince is not the second prince, what can you prove it?"
The county lord of Qingyang stared at Yun Puzi in shock, it was hard to imagine that Yun Puzi, who usually looked harmless to humans and animals, would know so many shocking secrets; She couldn't help but tremble slightly with her hands and feet at this moment, she never thought that a palace change could happen at any time.
"And even if what you said is true, even if the Queen Mother and Her Majesty are not on good terms because of this, it will not reach the point of cannibalism between mother and son, right?"
And if the identity of the second prince is fake, it is not impossible - there were concubines who gave birth to daughters in the previous dynasty and secretly replaced them with baby boys. When such a thing is revealed, it will inevitably set off earth-shattering waves, but Qingyang doesn't think that this will make Yang Yuanpu and Wang Chan'er step to the point of mother and son cannibalism.
Even whether Yang Yuanpu abolished Wang Chan'er and imprisoned her in the deep palace in the end, or Wang Chan'er abolished Yang Yuanpu and set up a new emperor, as a harem concubine, she only had the fate of going with the flow, right?
She went out of the palace to avoid trouble at this time, where can she avoid it? At that time, whether Wang Chan'er abolished Yang Yuanpu, or Yang Yuanpu put his mother Wang Chan'er under house arrest, a decree came, and she was not allowed to return to the palace obediently, where could she avoid?
Of course, at this time, she would never unreservedly believe that Yun Puzi was worthy of her trust.
Yun Puzi has frequently sent people into the palace to offer things these days, and at this time he encouraged her to go out of the palace to avoid trouble, who knows if he wants to lure himself and the emperor's eldest son into the control of the forces behind him?
What happened in the palace was not manipulated by the people behind Yun Puzi?
"Everything is in the hands of Lu Qingxia, and she will not let Her Majesty and the Queen Mother have the opportunity for the mother and son to sit down calmly and talk about the relationship between mother and son, but it is a matter of time before she does; And except for Empress Li, no one can prove the true life experience of the second prince. Oops, when Cishou Palace makes a move against His Majesty, it will inevitably send someone to assassinate Empress Li! ”
Yun Puzi suddenly thought through all the joints at this time, slapped his forehead and shouted, and said,
"Niangniang, please believe the old way, that Chen Ruyi is definitely Lu Qingxia's person, everything they did today is to force Your Majesty to turn against the Queen Mother, and force the Queen Mother to decide to get rid of Your Majesty; At that time, whether His Majesty died violently or was assassinated, as long as the Queen Mother was under their control, they would have the legitimate status of controlling the guards and the inner and outer courts. And Lu Qingxia did all this, he should be impatient to disturb the situation in Jinling and Dachu before the Marquis of Qianyang sent troops to Hehuai! ”
"Yun Dao Chang wants to say that you are Han Qian's person, and you have been lurking in the imperial city under Han Qian's orders all these years?" Qingyang vigilantly stared at Yun Puzi and asked, "It's just that there is something I don't understand in this palace, the Marquis of Qianyang is sending troops, but what reason does Lu Qingxia have to disturb the situation in Jinling, doesn't it mean that after the Marquis of Qianyang sends troops, Lu Qingxia will launch a palace mutiny again, and the chances of victory are greater?" And if I'm not mistaken, you were instigated by Yao Xishui in Fanchang City to persuade me to blow the news about the marriage between Han Qian and Wang Jun in His Majesty? ”
"If it weren't for Niangniang blowing the wind by Your Majesty's side, if Your Majesty hadn't re-proposed the marriage contract during the period of Qianyang Hou's filial piety, how could Qianyang Hou have an excuse to leave Fanchang directly?"
Yun Puzi couldn't guess why Lu Qingxia was led out of the cave at this time, but the critical situation in front of him was clear and unmistakable, and he did everything he could to persuade Qingyang Dao,
“
The Marquis of Qianyang not only guessed that there was something wrong with the second prince of Cishou Palace, but also guessed that the second prince was the illegitimate son of the Queen Mother and Han Jun, and even knew that Li Zhihe, the Marquis of Xinjin, was the son of the King of Lu in the previous dynasty; The old Taoist idle clouds and wild cranes, although the wind and candle are in their last years, and their eyesight and means are not as good as Li Yu and Lu Qingxia, but who is in the hands of the general trend of the world, how can he see clearly when the Qianyang Hou can set Jinling Chaos. As for why Lu Qingxia chose to make a move at this time, there may be a reason why she has no choice but to do it - because she is not only a poisonous snake lurking in Jinling! ”
Qingyang couldn't imagine everything in front of him, it was hard to imagine that Han Qian had already known so many secrets in the palace, he was shocked and suspicious, his heart couldn't help but twitch slightly as if he was shocked, and it took a while before he relieved himself and continued to ask:
"How can I be sure that you didn't also fall for the plan of prosperity, but at this time, you came to trick me with a fake show?"
The situation in front of her was a catastrophe if she took a wrong step, and she even doubted whether Yun Puzi was really the shadow son deployed by Han Qian, and she was even more worried that this was a trick set for her by the mastermind behind the scenes.
Except for Fanchang, for the next eight years, she didn't notice that Yun Puzi had obvious signs of leaning towards Tangyi, otherwise she wouldn't be so sluggish and couldn't even detect it; More importantly, she asked why Lu Qingxia chose to make a move at this time, but Yun Puzi did not directly answer her questions.
One wrong step is a catastrophe, that is, the remains of the mother and son are gone, this problem cannot be explained, how can she act rashly?
Once she chooses to go out of the palace to avoid trouble, it means that she has no second way to choose.
"Do you remember the phrase 'go to the east of the great river, and the waves will sweep away the heroes of the ages'?" Yun Puzi didn't know if the assassins from Cishou Palace had already come to Changxin Palace, but if he stayed for a while, it would inevitably be more dangerous, and he said urgently.
"There were many people in Shu who knew this sentence back then, what did Yun Dao Chang want to say?" Qingyang asked.
"The great river goes east, the waves are exhausted, and the eternal romantic characters. To the west of the base, humanity is, Zhou Lang Chibi of the Three Kingdoms. The rocks pierced the air, the waves crashed on the shore, and thousands of piles of snow were rolled up. The country is picturesque, how many heroes at one time," Yun Puzi wrote half a poem on the rice paper in front of the case, and said, "Lao Dao only knows this half of the words from Qianyang Hou, as for what Xia Rong is, Lao Dao has not heard Qianyang Hou talk about it, but Qianyang Hou said that Niangniang has seen this half of the words, so he should believe that Lao Dao's friendship with him is true." ”
Qingyang looked at this half-word in a daze, and was a little stupid for a while......
…………
…………
"Aunt Deng, bring Bin'er quickly, let's go to Chongfuguan!"
Qingyang's mood was quite calm, and he instructed a middle-aged female official beside him.
At this time, the four female officials of the palace were all old people brought by Qingyang from Shu Kingdom, listening to the conversation between Qingyang and Yun Puzi, although they had been holding back and did not interject casually, but at this time, their hearts were also turbulent and their faces were pale.
They never thought that the Chu Palace, where everything was calm yesterday and everyone was complaining about the hot weather, would be about to break out at any time in a bloody palace change overnight.
They thought that the Shu Palace was sinister enough, but they didn't expect that the sinister in the Chu Palace was a hundred times that of the Shu Palace.
The second prince is not the second prince, but the illegitimate son of the Queen Mother and Han Jun?
Chen Ruyi, who has many cronies of His Majesty, has always been Lu Qingxia's secret son?
Yun Puzi is the secret son deployed in the palace by Han Qian, the Marquis of Qianyang?
And why did Niangniang confirm this, she didn't care about it, and she had to go out of the palace to avoid trouble without hesitation, could it be that after Lu Qingxia arranged for someone to assassinate His Majesty, didn't he support the second prince who was actually a child of the Han family to ascend the throne, isn't there still a possibility of collusion between Han Qian and Lu Qingxia?
Although the four female officials around Qingyang have also seen the world and secretly practiced their fists and feet, the complicated and dangerous situation in front of them made them also a mess.
This also has an advantage, that is, Qingyang has made up his mind, or Qingyang's will is firm enough, although they have deep doubts in their hearts, but before they think of a better way, they will still unswervingly act according to Qingyang's orders, and they will not seem so helpless.
This side will arrange the driving arrangement of the palace ceremony, and at the same time, it is also confirmed that the imperial decree to go out of the palace to escape the summer has not yet been transmitted to the guard office of Chongfumen - it may be that Yang Yuanpu (or Yang Yuanpu who was instigated and manipulated by his side) also knew to avoid startling Cishou Palace as much as possible, but this made Qingyang realize that his strength was sparse.
She took Bin'er's hand and couldn't help but glance back when she boarded the carriage.
If Yang Yuanpu is lucky enough not to die in the palace change, then her best ending may be to leave a whole corpse in death.
"The Changyang Courtyard is out of the water!" A female official suddenly pointed to a corner of the eaves on the north side of Cishou Palace and exclaimed.
Qingyang stepped on the wheel, crossed the wall of the carriage and looked towards the Changyang Courtyard, and saw two pillars of smoke rising without warning, which showed that the fire was bound to burst out in a very short time.
She has been frightened too much today, and she is a little numb at this moment, but when she sees the scene in front of her, there is still a chill from the bottom of her heart.
Changyang Courtyard is the place where Li Yao lived in seclusion after being demoted, as Yun Puzi said, Lu Qingxia should have sent someone to kill Li Yao at this time.
Li Yao is the only person who can distinguish the truth of the second prince, as soon as Li Yao dies, the body is destroyed, who can question the authenticity of the second prince?
At that time, no one can stand up and question the Queen Mother's dispatch to assassinate Yang Yuanpu, and no one can stand up to question the legitimacy of the Queen Mother's appointment of the second prince to ascend the throne and succeed to the throne?
Lu Qingxia's plan is so poisonous and seamless!
Will Han Qian not hesitate to bear the notoriety of rebellion for her and Bin'er, and turn his face against Lu Qingxia and the Queen Mother? Or will he and Bin'er inevitably become bargaining chips for Han Qian's deal with Lu Qingxia and the Queen Mother in the end?
Qingyang was stunned for a while.
"Mother, it's time for us to go, it's too late if we don't leave." Yun Puzi reminded.
"Let's go." Qingyang shrank into the carriage.
