(2-in-1, no change)

When I was busy, I didn't know how the days passed quickly, as the Wang family's house changed day by day, and as the weather warmed day by day, March quietly arrived.

On the morning of the first day of the first month of March, when Wang Yuanzheng, Li Xin'er and Huang Ying were planting willows and trees by the pond in front of the house, they suddenly heard the sound of horses neighing from the south.

Li Xin'er frowned and asked, "Who are they?" ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile on his face: "It's Yang Zhao, he should also come, the day is approaching, it seems that he is not talking nonsense." ”

Li Xin'er suddenly said: "I almost forgot, on the third day of the third month of March, you are going to accompany that Mrs. Qiu Guo to go to the spring." ”

Wang Yuan smiled and nodded, turned his head and said richly: "The eldest sister will go back to the house first, tell my cousin and your brother, and let them lock up the coolies who are working. ”

Huang Ying agreed and hurried back, Wang Yuan got down from the pond stalk and walked on the road to greet him, and the four people who came slowly were Yang Zhao and his three entourage; Suddenly, seeing Wang Yuan coming from the front, a smile appeared on Yang Zhao's black face.

"Yang Duzhi, is that you?" Wang Yuan shouted from afar.

Yang Zhao got off the horse and said with a smile: "Isn't it a certain family?" What's wrong with you? Rolled up his trouser legs and sleeves, he looked like a farmer plowing the fields. ”

Wang Yuan bowed and said with a smile: "Rude and rude, I just planted willows by the pond, and when I heard the sound of the horse's voice, I came to take a look, thinking that it was not Du Zhilang who arrived, and sure enough, it was Du Zhilang, and I was worried that Xin Du Zhilang who was sent to your house the day before yesterday did not receive it." ”

Yang Zhao said with a smile: "I was driving in Lishan the day before yesterday, and I just returned to Beijing today. ”

Wang Yuan smiled and nodded, and immediately led Yang Zhao to the house, Yang Zhao looked at the house and the surrounding scene and praised: "Is this the new house you bought?" is grand enough, I didn't expect Brother Wang to be a rich man without revealing his wealth. ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "There, there, in order to buy this house, I am almost destitute, and I am dying of sorrow." ”

Yang Zhao said: "It took a lot of money. ”

Wang Yuan smiled and said: "Du Zhilang is proficient in financial management, give me an estimate of this house, and I will see if I have suffered a loss when I bought it." ”

Yang Zhao thought for a moment and said: "Based on the location of Jing'an Fang, plus the size of your mansion and the surrounding scenery, it is estimated that it is about 3,000 guan." My Changle Fang Mansion is slightly larger than yours, and it took me a lot of money to spend a lot of money, and that's because the location is slightly better. ”

Wang Yuan laughed and said: "It seems that I have really made a lot of money, I only spent 400 yuan to get this house, and it took more than 200 yuan to repair it, and the whole calculation is less than 700 yuan." ”

Yang Zhao was stunned and said, "How is it possible? Who is so stupid to sell this mansion to you at such a cheap price? ”

Wang Yuan smiled, and did not hide it at the moment, and told the ins and outs of the house, only hiding the fact that the five guards were looking for treasures here and pretending to be ghosts and killing people, and only called this place a haunted mansion with a lot of haunting.

Yang Zhao was shocked: "Are you saying that the house is unlucky?" Then you are not afraid to buy it? Don't take advantage of this kind of cheapness, since it's a murderous house, you must not try to be cheap, these things must not be believed. ”

Wang Yuan smiled and said: "I naturally believe it, but I know a little about feng shui, I secretly came to take a look before buying it, and found that it was the reason for the feng shui of the house." After I bought it, I immediately changed my feng shui, and now I have lived here for half a month, and it is very stable, and there is nothing ghostly at all. ”

Yang Zhao was surprised: "You actually have such ability? Do you still know Feng Shui? ”

Wang Yuan smiled and said: "I know a little bit about Feng Shui, Feng Shui originates from Zhou Yi, and I and other readers have naturally read it, but Zhou Yi is obscure and difficult, and many people can't read it, but I can just read it." In fact, the truth is only a little superficial, and those who are really proficient in it can investigate the dragon veins and dominate the rise and fall of a generation; If you think that someone like me who knows a little about fur, he can only look at the feng shui of the mansion to avoid evil and seek good fortune. ”

Li Xin'er, who followed the left nearer, listened to Wang Yuan's blowing like a river, and wanted to laugh and worry, but she was afraid that Erlang would blow too much and would not be able to keep her mouth open but would be exposed.

Sure enough, Yang Zhao asked, "So amazing?" How was Feng Shui bad at the beginning of your house? I've seen a lot. ”

Li Xin'er looked at Wang Yuan worriedly, and said in her heart: "It's over, what should you do now?" ”

Wang Yuan's face did not change and said: "It doesn't hurt to talk about it, but the biggest nuisance of this house is that the original owner of the house likes to plant trees in front of and behind the house, don't you know that it happens to be a feng shui taboo." The so-called 'no mulberry is planted in the front, no willows are planted in the back, and ghosts are not planted in the court to clap their hands. The three taboos are all in the house, and it is strange that there is no accident in the house. ”

Yang Zhao said in horror: "So much exquisite? What kind of tree is Ghost Clap? ”

Wang Yuan said: "Birch and cypress trees, the leaves are wide, and when the wind blows and makes a noise, it is a ghost clapping his hands." Also, there were many peach trees planted in the original yard, and the peach trees were mainly used to ward off evil spirits and drive away disasters. On the contrary, it will provoke evil spirits to enter the door. In addition, the peach tree has deep roots and absorbs the earth's qi, just like absorbing the spirit of the people in the house, which is also a big taboo. ”

Wang Yuan blew nonsense, anyway, it was already blowing boundlessly, and he simply blew it even harder, so as not to make Yang Zhao suspicious.

Yang Zhao was shocked: "Oh, I also have peach trees planted in my house, isn't it a big taboo?" ”

Wang Yuan frowned and said, "Then you need to dig it up quickly." ”

Yang Zhao said: "Fortunately, I know these things today, otherwise I don't know why something happened, Brother Wang, you will definitely go to my house to help me take a look in a few days, and if there is any inappropriate place, you will definitely point it out for me." ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "I only know a little bit about the skin, it's naturally okay to help you take a look, but don't talk about it, otherwise it's really going to be a joke." After all, Feng Shui is ethereal and rootless, I don't want to rely on this to attract people's attention, and besides, I don't have that ability. ”

Yang Zhao nodded and smiled: "Understand and understand, it's good to chat between friends, as a pastime." ”

Wang Yuan nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

The room has arrived at the door of the house, the dilapidated gatehouse in the front yard has been renovated, and the bluestone gatehouse originally engraved with the word "Liu Fu" has long been demolished and replaced with a new gatehouse, and a plaque written by Wang Yuan himself has been hung.

Entering the courtyard and moving into the hall, the two sat down next to a newly added mahogany table, and the little sister Huang Xing brought tea to retreat, leaving only the two of them to talk in the hall.

Yang Zhao took a sip of tea and said in a low voice: "Brother Wang, the third day of the third month of March is coming, are you ready?" I'll order someone to pick you up from the city early the next morning, and this time it's about your future, and you can't mess it up. ”

Wang Yuan nodded and said, "I will do my best, if I really can't satisfy Mrs. Qiuguo, then there is no way." ”

Yang Zhao frowned and said: "That's not possible, unless you want to lose your head, you must get the approval of my third sister this time, and let her agree to come forward with me to recommend you to the palace." ”

Wang Yuan exclaimed: "What happened? Wang Ji and Li Linfu are unwilling to let me go? ”

Yang Zhao said: "They agreed on the surface, but I am very worried about what has happened in the last half month. Do you know what happened in the court in the past half month? ”

Wang Yuan shook his head and said, "How would I know." ”

Yang Zhao frowned and sighed, "Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming were both killed. ”

Wang Yuan exclaimed: "Killed? Haven't they been demoted from the capital? This is not over yet? ”

Yang Zhao smiled and said, "It's so easy to end there, Li Linfu is willing to let them go." In the final analysis, it was Li Shizhi who stupidly annoyed His Majesty, Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming If they hadn't made a fuss in the middle, how could they have been killed by Li Linfu so quickly. ”

Wang Yuan was silent, although the whole thing had nothing to do with him, but this was the only thing Wang Yuan knew about the battle between the court, and it was precisely because of this incident that he was dragged from the peaceful days of Yong'an Fang to today's situation. Although the two sides of the battle originally had no bias, since his own life was threatened by Wang Ji and Li Linfu, Wang Yuan naturally hoped that the side against Li Linfu would lose. But now, it seems, they still failed.

Although Wang Yuan didn't ask questions, Yang Zhao still said in a low voice: "After Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming were demoted, His Majesty was originally unwilling to dwell on this matter, but Wei Jian's two younger brothers will be the young craftsman Wei Lan's military department, and Wei Zhi, together with Li Shiyi, the left minister, want to overturn the case for Wei Jian, and stupidly ask the prince to come out to testify. Is the prince willing to be implicated? So he severed the relationship with Webster to show his innocence. After that, Li Linfu, Wang Jie, Yang Shenjin and others had no scruples, and asked for a re-investigation of the case of Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming, but it did not involve the prince at all. His Majesty was also annoyed, and when he saw that this matter did not involve the prince, he allowed him to re-investigate, and this investigation found out that Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming colluded with each other to plot rebellion. Three days ago, news came from Jinyun and Banzhou that Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming had been killed by the people sent by Li Linfu.

The surprise in Wang Yuan's heart is indescribable, Wang Yuan understands the cruelty of the power struggle in the imperial court, but there is obviously a huge difference between reading it in books and film and television dramas and experiencing it himself. In just over two months, after a meeting on Shangyuan Night, things developed rapidly to the killing of Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming, and all this came too quickly.

You must know that Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming were still the secretary of the criminal department two months ago, and the other was a border town general with heavy troops, and the Wei family was still a Tang dynasty, and both of them were close associates of the prince. Before this, who would have thought that a small meeting on the night of Shangyuan would cause such a catastrophe?

Moreover, all this happened under the premise that Xuanzong did not want to raise the teacher and mobilize the people, even if it was Xuanzong himself, I am afraid that he did not want Li Linfu to kill these two people at all. In this case, the two were finally killed, which shows how clever Li Linfu's methods are.

"Yang Duzhi, this matter is really surprising, Li Linfu has really reached the point of ignoring others, isn't he afraid that His Majesty will be dissatisfied if he does this?"

Yang Zhao sneered: "Brother Wang, the inside story is not something we have to care about now, you will slowly understand it in the future." I'll test you, do you understand what changes will happen to the court after this incident? ”

Wang Yuan thought for a while and said: "If you want me to say that I can't say it clearly, I just vaguely feel that after this incident, Li Linfu will probably cover the sky with one hand in the court." And next, Li Linfu will definitely take advantage of the hot iron to eliminate dissidents, and I am afraid that there will be no peace in the DPRK and China. ”

Yang Zhao nodded and said: "Brother Wang has some insight, and then Li Shizhi and Pei Kuan will be unlucky, because they have said a lot of good things for Wei Jian, and now Wei Jian and they have been killed, how embarrassing should Li Shizhi, Pei Kuan and others be?" Even if they are not considered to be Wei Jian's comrades, they will be considered confused, and they will soon be defeated. ”

Wang Yuan nodded slightly, obviously the situation would develop in this direction.

"After the fall of Li Shizhi and Pei Kuan, as you said, Li Linfu will cover the sky with one hand, and the prince will not be able to protect himself if he wants to protect himself, and it will be the prince who will be brought down later. You know, Li Linfu's ultimate goal is to bring down the crown prince, once Li Linfu supports a certain prince to ascend to the crown prince, who else in the entire Tang Dynasty can shake Li Linfu's status? And if all this can't be stopped, I'm afraid it will happen within a year, and Li Linfu won't have to give face to anyone, including me. ”

Wang Yuan frowned and said, "Du Zhilang, with all due respect. If this happens, not only will you not be able to protect me, but you will have to be careful yourself. After setting up a new prince, Li Linfu will try his best to let the new prince ascend the throne, and when the time comes, ...... Today's majesty has become the emperor, so ...... Duzhilang, your Yang family...... I'm afraid ......"

Yang Zhao's face was gloomy and said, "You don't have to swallow, this is inevitable." Now Li Linfu is good to me, that's because our Yang family is favored by His Majesty, do you think he has no thoughts about our Yang family in his heart? It's just that he doesn't want to offend us yet. Once things go according to his plan step by step, after all the dissident forces in the DPRK and China are cut off by him, His Majesty will also be restrained by him, and at that time it is inevitable that the new crown prince will ascend the throne, and my Yang family will be the next target of his cutoff. Even if Li Linfu doesn't deal with us, Wang Ji and Yang Shenjin won't let us go. This time I protected you, Wang Ji was already extremely dissatisfied with me, and said behind his back that I was using the concubine's forehead to suppress him, and these words came to my ears, so I was very worried. ”

Wang Yuan said: "Make it difficult for Duzhilang." ”

Yang Zhao waved his hand and said, "What are you talking about?" I just hope that you don't mess up this time, my third sister has a weird temper, I just hope that you will bear the burden of humiliation and make her agree to recommend you with me, so that my efforts will not be in vain. ”

Wang Yuan nodded in agreement, and suddenly said: "Since Li Linfu has this plan in his heart, why don't he take precautions?" Isn't there a ventilation for the concubine and Mrs. Qiuguo? ”

Yang Zhao spread his hands and said: "How to prevent it?" I couldn't say a word to anyone else just now, let alone Mrs. Guifei Guo. You don't know the person of the concubine, she doesn't understand anything, she hates these fights the most, and telling her will annoy her. And the third sister, Mrs. Qiuguo, has a bit of a hot temperament, and she can't hide things in her heart, and it will be bad things after knowing this. And if they spread the news to His Majesty, His Majesty will surely think that I have a plot to tell the truth, so I can't say a word to them. ”

Wang Yuan frowned and said, "Then do you just watch the situation develop?" Once that day comes, won't we be killed? ”

Yang Zhao said: "Let's think about it in the long run, do you want me to say good things for Li Shizhi and Pei Kuan?" Isn't it a fire? This must not be done. There is no way for the prince to help, and the only way I can think of now is to maintain the relationship with Li Linfu, with my current strength and the current situation in the DPRK, I can't do anything. ”

Wang Yuan nodded slightly and said: "Direct confrontation is obviously not a good way, but it is not a way to sit back and wait for the danger to come, I am thinking, there may not be no way to deal with the current situation." ”

Yang Zhao was puzzled: "Listen to what you mean, it seems that I have some thoughts in my heart, why don't you say it and listen to it?" ”

Wang Yuan shook his head and said, "I don't understand the affairs of the DPRK, how can I have any good ideas." It's just that I'm reminded of something I've heard before, and if that's true, it's not necessarily where we start. ”

Yang Zhao said: "What's the matter? ”

Wang Yuan said: "I heard that Wang Fei has contradictions with many people, you have a lot of contact with them, do you think there is a contradiction between Wang Fei and Yang Shenjin?" ”

Yang Zhao was surprised and said, "Are you trying to sow discord?" ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "This is not called sowing discord, if there is a festival between them, it is just a matter of taking advantage of the festival between them to cause some trouble." Now it seems that Wang Ji and Yang Shenjin are Li Linfu's loyal right-hand men, if these two people do it first, wouldn't it be a way to muddy the waters? Only in muddy waters can you touch the fish, and for Yang Duzhi, it is harmless. ”

Yang Zhao rubbed his hands with his mouth open, looking both surprised and frightened.

"But if you do this and you can't succeed, wouldn't you be putting yourself in it?"

Wang Yuan smacked his lips and said: "Then it depends on whether there is really a contradiction between these two people, and it also depends on the means of provoking?" ”

Yang Zhao thought for a while and said, "Wang Ji and Yang Shenjin often verbally attack each other, but that is not any hatred. In fact, Wang Ji and Yang Shenjin are still relatives, Yang Shenjin and Wang Shenjin's father are cousins, if Wang Ji is a cousin, he still has to call Yang Shenjin a cousin. ”

Wang Yuan sighed and said, "Then it seems that this method is not feasible." ”

Yang Zhao said: "Don't worry too much, those are all our speculations just now, maybe Li Linfu will succeed, let's see."
