Chapter 24: Chung Yeung Festival – Finally: The Blue Secret Meeting
In the middle of the night, the sound of beating on the streets came and went, the patrol team appeared and disappeared, and the light of the torches was bright or dark. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info On Chang'an Street, there is a long-abandoned house, which was originally the residence of Ding Yu, the Governor of the Left Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Ding Yu was counted as Hu Weiyong's henchman in the thirteenth year of Hongwu, and the entire family was destroyed. Therefore, the subsequent officials in the capital thought that this mansion was unlucky, and no one bought it to live here. Today, this house that has not been inhabited for a long time welcomed a living person, and the smoke and dust scattered in the mansion rushed towards the living person who walked in like a ghost, but immediately dispersed in all directions as if he was afraid of the smell of gunpowder smoke and blood on this living person.
The people who walked in just stood still. After a while, another man came in. The newcomer stood still in front of the early arrivals and said, "Uncle, why did you choose to meet in such a place?" ”
The man he called his uncle said, "Only here will you not be discovered by "that man"; It's arranged in your mansion, so you won't be found out by the person who arranged it "that person" is not there. ”
"Don't worry, uncle, I've been pretending to be a concubine who is infatuated with Xinna's entrance to the house for the past few days, and every day I go into her house as soon as I finish dinner, and I make a big fuss when I am disturbed, and I won't be discovered."
"It's better to be careful, Jinyiwei's men and horses are very powerful."
The man changed the subject: "Uncle, you have been looking for someone to meet secretly since last month, what is it for?" ”
The person who came first knew that it would be useless to be cautious no matter how much he was advised, so he took over the topic, "Do you know that Yun Xi has been sent to the military department to deal with things recently?" ”
"Of course I know, Yun Xi is worthy of being my sister's child, and he has the ability of my Chang family, not only did he handle things in an orderly manner, but he also said that Hua Rong's kid was beaten fiercely, such a person would go through the back door if he wanted to rely on his relationship, and if his father was still there, he would definitely scold him."
Everyone must have known when they heard this, the person who came in later was Chang Yuchun's son, this person is Chang Sheng, Chang Yuchun's second son, Chang Yuchun's eldest son Chang Mao died last year, Chang Sheng was named the founding father; The one he called 'uncle' was the first existing general of the Ming Dynasty, Liangguo Gong Lanyu.
Lan Yu said very angrily: "Don't gag, don't you notice that Yun Xi is already going to be the prince?" ”
"How I didn't notice! It's just that Yun Xi has reached the last level at present, but he hasn't passed it yet! ”
"If it was before today, it can be said that it is still the last hurdle, but as soon as today's incident comes out, it can be said that Yun Xi has become the emperor's grandson. It's providence for you and me to make an appointment to meet in secret today. ”
"Today's event? What happened today? Chang Sheng looked confused.
"Do you have no one in the palace? Why are you still asking me? ”
"Before the eldest brother was demoted to Longzhou, he handed over to me the dark line left by the eldest sister in the palace, but in order not to be discovered and to play a role at the critical moment, I have not enabled it."
"Now it's a critical moment, today Yun Xi made another suggestion at the Double Ninth Festival banquet, and this suggestion will allow Yun Xi to ascend to the throne of the emperor's grandson." Then, Lan Yu said Yunxi's suggestion today.
Chang Sheng was still puzzled: "Isn't this another good suggestion?" How can you ascend to the throne of the emperor's grandson? ”
"I have been following "that man" for thirty-seven years, and I have been studying "that person", and I can conclude that this suggestion, together with the previous one, is that the other children and grandchildren of "that person" can be preserved by dividing them; One is to prevent the military power that "that person" is most worried about from falling, and the latter one is enough, if the previous one makes Yun Xi the emperor, it will definitely not be implemented, but at that time, "that person" was still worried that Yun Xi's suggestion was just a flash in the pan, but now it should be certain that it is not. In addition, Yun Xi proposed a few days ago to promote the outstanding officials, and give the impression that his background can give His Majesty careful observation; Sending poems to Xiping Hou Muying can give His Majesty the impression of being talented and quick-witted. Although these two articles do not have much effect, they can also improve the impression of "that person" on Yunxi. Just before I came, I also received a message from my informant who was ambushed in the palace, "that person" summoned Yun Xi tonight, maybe it was to let Yun Xi preside over the construction of the military academy (Lan Yu guessed wrong), a person who presided over the construction of the military academy, or the emperor's grandson, after the death of Xiongying, the eldest son of the first prince, is the existing eldest grandson, and must be the emperor's grandson. ”
Chang Sheng suddenly became completely serious: "Then what do I need to do?" ”
"Let the dark line in your hand move, and report to you the movements in the palace, I'm afraid that someone will take a risk. I have here a list, all of them are loyal and brave, and each has his own specialty, and some of them have been placed in very important places by me, and you will know them when you meet them; Also, Dingyuan Marquis Wang Bi, whose talent is no less than me, reminds Yunxi that if there is a big war in the future, he will win the battle as a general. ”
Chang Sheng felt wrong: "Why is my uncle telling me this?" ”
Lan Yu suddenly laughed in a low voice: "Haha, do you think that if Yun Xi becomes the imperial grandson, "that person" will still be able to tolerate me?" The examples of the dictatorship of foreign relatives in the Han Dynasty, and even the usurpation of the throne, are vivid! Yun Xi became the emperor's grandson, but I just died; If Yun Wei becomes the emperor's grandson, all those who have a relationship with me and can fight will have to die. After all, I'm Yun Xi's uncle and grandfather. Not only me, but Feng Sheng and Fu Youde, who are still alive, have worked hard and made great achievements, and their prestige in the army is prosperous, and Yun Xi is too young, "that person" will not be at ease. In fact, there is no rush now, "that person" will not attack me in the next two days. But I'm worried that it will be more difficult to meet in the future, so I'll explain it all now. ”
"What about you?" Chang Sheng asked with a choked voice.
"After I became the emperor's grandson in Yunxi, I learned from Xu Da, and I 'died of a violent illness', which will affect my family. Anyway, everyone knows that I am a good drinker, and pretending to drink too much and get drunk to death will not arouse the suspicion of others. And "that person" must have been relieved to know that I was dead, and he wouldn't have looked into it. By the way, there was one very important thing that I almost forgot. One of my old subordinates found Chang Mao's child in Longzhou. ”
Chang Sheng was originally sad, but when he heard this, he exclaimed: "Big brother still has children? "It's a little louder.
"Be quiet!" Lan Yu glared at him before continuing: "Yes, Chang Mao has a son in Longzhou, I asked people to bring the child to the vicinity of the capital, pretending that the child can't afford to raise more, and gave it to a family surnamed Cao in Longtan Village, R County, this family has no children and no daughters, and is over forty years old, so you can rest assured that you can trust it." Now the little one is more than two years old, very healthy, and is named Cao Yun. I arranged for someone to watch him. ”
"I'm going to see the kids!" Chang Sheng said.
"Absolutely not!" Lan Yu said solemnly. "There must be no action until the "man" dies. I know it's hard, but be sure to stay calm. ”
The two looked at each other, Chang Sheng's face was full of grief and anger, while Lan Yu's face was calm. After a while, Lan Yu said: "That's probably it, nothing else, I'll go first, you can leave later, just in case it is discovered, let "that person" think of our secret meeting." If you have something, contact again. ”
With that, he turned and left. Chang Sheng calmed down for a while, and waited until there was no discoloration on his face before leaving.
