Chapter 854: Familiar Figure
Even so, Lan Ruoxin still felt that everything should be careful, and gave Yang Huairen a look.
Tie Xiangyu pretended not to see it and continued to drink her tea, but Yang Huairen still noticed that her eyelids seemed to tremble a little, after all, it was an extremely unpleasant thing to be so wary of others.
He stood up to play a round and deliberately diverted the topic, "Oh, look at me, I'm used to being lavish, I asked the little second brother a few questions just now, and I stuffed three times of silver back and forth, but this is not a tael of silver is gone, but I feel sorry for me." ”
Yang Huairen's acting skills are still very professional, he can be an idol, and naturally he can also act as a comedian, and the appearance of the landlord and the old wealth with a slamming face is really in place, so that Lan Ruoxin and Tie Xiangyu can't help but smile when they see it.
Later, most of the people sent out by Xiao Qihe to inquire about the news also came back, and the news reported was roughly the same as what Yang Huairen asked from Xiao Er.
Yang Huairen also got more news about Gao Shengtai. Gao Shengtai is really not an ordinary person, even if he has now mastered the military and political power of Dali, but he has not taken the liberty of standing on his own.
On the contrary, Duan Zhengming, who lost his power and throne, was a little incomprehensible, and he took the initiative to give up the throne and become a monk to serve the Buddha, even his younger brother Duan Zhengchun didn't seem to say anything, so he obeyed the words of the eldest brother, and even supported the Gao clan to become the new Dali royal family.
Gao Shengtai also made a gesture, and repeatedly rejected Duan Zhengming's request to give way, only saying that he was the temporary regent, and when the people's grievances were calmed, he would return to Dali Duan.
The development of things seems to have gone down to the original trajectory of history, and Gao Shengtai later really established himself as king, but before his death two years later, he still faithfully returned the throne of Dali to the Duan clan of Dali.
But Yang Huairen always vaguely felt that things were not as simple as they seemed on the surface. Even if Gao Shengtai is now in power, he sought the throne of Dali State, and he did not carry out a fierce killing, but obtained it through a peaceful way.
But no matter what, whether he replaced Dali Duan as the new king of Dali, or usurped the throne, there is no essential difference between him and the coup d'état launched by Yang Yizhen, a powerful minister more than ten years ago, and it will always make people feel that the name is not justified.
His constant excuses and good intentions may be just a way to win people's hearts and establish his own tall image, and he is just deliberately posturing.
As for the Duan Zhengming brothers, maybe because their lives were in the hands of others, they had to do that. Duan Zhengming kept wanting to abdicate and make way for Xian, just so that he and his family could live, if he didn't do this, maybe he wouldn't even have the opportunity to become a monk and serve the Buddha.
Therefore, Yang Huairen feels that in the struggle for power, it is impossible to judge with what he sees and hears on the surface. I don't know how many people in history have lost their lives in vain in order to fight for power and profit, and how many people have been annihilated in the rolling torrent of history.
Judging from the available news, Gao Shengtai has not openly sat on the throne of Dali now, and he has not lived in the Dali Palace, but every day is the same as before, and he still lives in his Xiangguo Mansion.
Yang Huairen thought about it, it was difficult to enter the palace to see Duan Zhengming, but it was not difficult to find out some news from Gao Shengtai's mansion, so he assigned a few more subordinates who were better at light skills and were clever to spy on Gao Shengtai's news late at night.
Night falls, and a crescent moon rises. The people of Dali City still retain a relatively simple way of life, the sun rises and the sun sets, unlike in the city of Tokyo, at night, many street markets are still brightly lit.
Looking into the city from the second floor, it seems that the whole city is gradually silent with the night, and the lights continue to disappear into the darkness, while the three white towers in the distance are particularly clear and bright under the moonlight.
The people have already been sent out, but Yang Huairen still thinks that he should recognize the way, at least to see where Gao Shengtai's mansion is and what it looks like.
It's still five people walking together, but they all change into night clothes. Lan Ruoxin and Tie Xiangyu, who still looked at each other unpleasantly during the day, seemed to be a lot more peaceful, although they didn't talk much, but their words were more harmonious.
Yang Huairen laughed secretly in his heart, Lan Ruoxin must have accidentally knocked over the vinegar jar, Tie Xiangyu followed them all the way, almost like her, she was inseparable from Yang Huairen.
This kind of worry is a bit redundant for Yang Huairen, but Lan Ruoxin doesn't think so, Tie Xiangyu is also a big beauty after all, because she is a few years older than her, she looks a little more feminine in terms of appearance and figure.
However, Yang Huairen felt that there were two fairy-like women who were jealous of him, as a man, and a former little Dios, he still inevitably had some dark feelings in his heart.
Gao Shengtai's Xiangguo Mansion is not far from the Dali Palace, only about two miles away, from the front of the main gate, the magnificence of this mansion is not even half of Yang Huairen's new mansion, the gate is also similar to the official mansion of the Great Song Dynasty, and the courtyard wall is not too high.
At this point, there are almost few people walking around on the streets of Dali City, and there are no Goolan restaurants that are open at night, so the merchants on the street don't even hang a few lanterns, everything is dark, only a lonely moonlight is sprinkled down, outlining a vague outline of the building.
However, the front of Gao Shengtai's Xiangguo Mansion is still very bright, and the four huge palace lamps in front of the gate are hung high, reflecting the majestic faces of the two Pixiu on the lintel.
Yang Huairen and the others hid in a dark alley dozens of steps away to observe, the gate of Xiangguo Mansion was still open at this time, and there were people constantly coming in and out, many of whom were wearing the costumes of Dali officials.
The news heard from the mouths of the people of Dali City, most of them praise Gao Shengtai, one of which is that Gao Xiangguo has every opportunity, and he works tirelessly to deal with state affairs for the people of Dali, and he is often busy until late at night to rest.
On such a night, there is an endless stream of people coming in and out in front of Gao Shengtai's mansion, which seems to prove this, but it can also be interpreted in another way, Dali has changed, and the officials in the court are looking for opportunities to show loyalty to the future king of Dali for their own future, or just for self-preservation.
There are always two different sides to things, and the results of seeing things from different angles are naturally completely different results.
Yang Huairen looked at it for a while, and felt that at least on the surface, there was nothing unexpected for him, just when he was about to go back to the inn, he suddenly found a familiar figure, walked out of a small sedan chair, glanced around, and walked into Gao Xiangguo's mansion......
