Chapter 1085: The True Cause
Liu Yuru immediately raised her head from the book and asked with a smile, "The prince left Chang'an at first glance and went to Shunyang County, which is deserted under the rule of Dengzhou, is it not a habit to live?" But...... Fiefs and titles are the will of His Majesty, if that's the reason...... Uncle still needs more persuasion. ”
Gao Jun understood what Liu Yuru meant, in the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, after the fall of Li Chengqian, Li Tai, who was then the king of Wei, was defeated in the competition for the throne with the current prince Li Zhi, and the depression in his heart can be imagined.
Liu Yu was reminding Su Miao that if it was for this reason, there would be no other way but to persuade him, and he would not be able to find anyone.
She would not agree to let Gao Jun intervene in the prince's struggle, if Li Tai sent Changshi Su to Gao Mansion just to win over Shang Shuling's power, then it was better not to say it.
Su Miao smiled, "Mrs. Liu really doesn't rub sand in her eyes, but the cause of the prince is not this!" Since the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, King Shunyang has long been disheartened and has no intention of power. Besides, how could this official deliberately run over and pull his niece and son-in-law into the whirlpool because of this? ”
Liu Yuru let Su Miao's words break, a little embarrassed, and said with a slightly red face, "Uncle, so the juniors shouldn't interject...... But what is the cause of the prince's illness? ”
Su Miao sighed heavily, "Alas! If it weren't for the fact that people were being bullied step by step, how could the prince be depressed! But he has an arrogant temperament, and he will never run to His Majesty to complain about his grievances because of this! ”
While drinking wine, Su Miao started the matter of Shunyang County from the beginning.
Li Tai, the king of Shunyang, the fourth son of the emperor, and his mother was the eldest grandson empress. He and the late crown prince Li Chengqian were both born in the second year of Wude, Li Chengqian was in January, and Li Tai was in November of the same year, and he is already 30 years old this year.
He was once the most favored son of Emperor Zhenguan. As a prince, he can stay in Gyeonggi for a long time without having to go to a fief according to the usual practice when he becomes an adult. The emperor also ignored the advice of his ministers and violated the law to let him set up a literature museum in his mansion in the capital, and let him recruit scholars on his own.
Later, because he was suspected of competing for the throne with the crown prince, the emperor had to adopt a quarantine policy in order to coexist with his sons-in-law, and changed his title to the king of Shunyang, and the fief was in Shunyang County, Dengzhou.
Fan Ying said, "Sister Liu and I have been to Dengzhou, which is a rich place,"
Su Miao said, "Exactly, this can be regarded as His Majesty's beloved son." The official privately thought that the King of Shunyang was talented and intelligent, but his personality was frank and casual, and he was not suitable for the tilting and competition in the power field at all, and he was okay to be a scholar. ”
Gao Jun couldn't stop nodding, "So, since the prince no longer cares about the matter of competing for the prince, how can such a person who has no quarrel with the world get depressed?" ”
Su Miao smiled bitterly, "Sometimes if you don't fight, it doesn't mean that others will let you go." ”
"Who is it?" Gao Jun asked.
Su Miao said that the old saying says that the wall is pushed down by everyone, which is not false at all. When the king of Shunyang came to the ground of Dengzhou, the title was the highest and the status was also the most expensive, but he had no real power. The officials of those forces saw that the prince was losing power, but they were more powerful than dogs, although they didn't dare to show their teeth and claws on the surface, but what they did behind the scenes was the most hateful.
Xie Jinlian said, "That's not it! That year, we went to Shanyang Town with Sister Liu, and the evil son in the Dengzhou Assassin's Mansion bullied the door, saying that he hated as much as he hated it. If it weren't for the chance encounter with the eldest grandson, we would almost never have gotten rid of it. ”
Gao Jun didn't know about this section, and Liu Yuru didn't say it. But when he returned to Shanyang Town from Liaodong in the eighteenth year, and took Liu and Fan to Jiangnan and passed through Dengzhou, the greedy faces of Deng Tingshi and his son were seen by his own eyes.
Thinking of this, Gao Jun asked, "The first official is evil, and the evil nest is evil, is it possible that the unsatisfactory of King Shunyang is also related to the Deng father and son?" ”
Su Miao sighed, "Who said no, the prince would not provoke him, sell his official beard with him, and crab the yellow, but Deng Tingshi and his son saw that the prince could be bullied, and they had already set their eyes on the prince's fiefdom near the mouth of the Danjiang River." ”
Shunyang County and Dengzhou City were originally separated by a large lake at the mouth of the Danjiang River, and the two sides could have been peaceful, but this lake was rich in Tang crabs.
Deng Tingshi fell in love with the seventy acres of water belonging to the king of Shunyang, and he secretly instructed his subordinates to find a group of fishermen, who were so brazen as to invade them, create friction, and encircle them to encroach on them from all sides.
The royal official in Li Tai's mansion first argued with the other party and reasoned, but if it didn't make sense, he asked the Dengzhou Assassin Mansion to adjudicate.
Deng Tingshi was polite on the surface, but when there was something, he turned one eye open and closed one eye, he didn't care about it, the more chaotic it became.
Besides, the person who caused the chaos was his Lou Luo, who was in charge of the assassination of the history of the palace once, and they were bold once, and the water grabbing intensified, and the seventy acres of water surface of the prince were hooked and circled, and the boat of the palace couldn't row into it if they wanted to.
Gao Jun slapped the book in his hand on the table, "There are too many deceptions, and there are no rules!" ”。
A prince who has lost power, with only seventy acres of water, has been circled in pieces. In a wide township in the north, a widow keeps a job and has twenty acres of land!
And the grange of the British Gong Lishi, from Huangfengling to Bohe, there are more than 100 miles in the middle, more than 10 miles around the Pingquanzhuang of the Zhongshu Ling Chu Lord, 22 pavilions and pavilions are built, the beauty of the spring stone, the crown is full of a whole mountain.
"This is on the water, and on land it is even more infuriating!" Su Miao said.
"The prince's fiefdom, there is Jingshe Mountain in front and Fulong Mountain in the back, the boundary is very clear, but over the years, what Deng Tingshi instructed his subordinates to bully under various names has also changed beyond recognition!"
Jingshe Mountain and Zhanlong Mountain originally belonged to Li Tai's fiefdoms, but at this time they were already within the scope of the two granges of Deng Thorn History.
Deng Tingshi built a chicken coop full of slopes on Jingshe Mountain to hire people to feed, a north wind, the smell of chicken manure has nowhere to hide, the hen cries eggs at night, and the rooster crows in the morning, Li Tai is overwhelmed, "Jingshe Mountain has become a chicken coop mountain!" Su Miao said.
And Fulong Mountain was also circled by Deng Tingshi, built a large leisure manor, small building carved railing, chic show, Thorn Shi occasionally came here with people to silk and bamboo song banquet, condescending, but it seems to be lying in the valley of the Shunyang palace a breathed posture.
Smelling the smell of chickens in the north and listening to the orchestra in the south, the grievances of the prince can be imagined.
Fan Yingxing's eyes widened, "Uncle, the dignified palace, the royal officials are not one or two, how can he be bullied like this!" The Assassin's Mansion doesn't matter, and the capital is not far away, won't you come to the capital to sue?! ”
Su Miao smiled bitterly, "Mrs. Fan, you don't know, Deng Tingshi had already expected this, and sent his son to Chang'an all the year round, the worship of the four seasons, the specialties of the time, and the special ministers who were useful." It's not that we haven't sued, but every time we have been lost! Two words of polite comfort, some of them can't even see people! ”
If he wants to go up again, Li Tai will not allow it, he doesn't want to run to the emperor because of his own affairs, especially the crown prince and his brother, to cry about any grievances.
After a long time, the royal officials in the palace also felt inferior, and the people who encountered trouble began to walk around, as if they were at a loss.
Later, those who joined the army, the chief book, and the pawn, as soon as their term of office expired, they went around to serve elsewhere, never wanting to come back. And those who can't leave, some swallow their anger, and some simply communicate with the Dengzhou Thorn Mansion to do something that should be done inside and outside.
Su Miao sighed and said, "Since I entered the palace, the prince was treated favorably by him when he was in power, and he did not leave him when he lost power, and followed him to Dengzhou from Chang'an." Now that the prince is in the dark, prostrate in the middle of the night, if the official leaves again, it is estimated that the king of Shunyang will not be able to live! ”
Su Changshi said, and suddenly he couldn't control his breath and choked one after another. Even his brother, Taizhou Thorn Shi's eyes were red.
Gao Jun looked at the "Chronicles of the Universe" on the table, and it was not only its decoration that was exquisite.
And he also understood that Su Miao had been unknown for so many years, and he had never heard of him going to work and dredge up because of his official position, so he never thought of leaving at all.
If Su Miao still had a way, he wouldn't have found Yongning Fang at all. In the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, Su Yin was Li Chengqian's concubine, and Su Miao was Li Tai's long history.
Not for Li Tai, but for Su Miao's persistence, Gao Jun also has the meaning of taking care of it, but where to start?
If you don't get it right, the crown prince Li Zhi will also be estranged from him, although it seems that the king of Shunyang can no longer threaten the prince's position, but Shang Shuling is involved with the prince's past political enemies, which will not make him too happy.
And if Your Majesty learns that he has extended his hand so long when he first became Shang Shuling, how will he feel?
He didn't take a cup either, and sat there for a moment of distraction.
Liu Yuru was also very conflicted, she didn't want Gao Jun to meddle in the affairs of the royal family, but Su Miao, a prince and a senior of many people here, couldn't help choking up, and she was also very sad.
Especially when she saw that Su Yin had already tears rippling there, Su and Su Miao's brothers came because of Sister Su's relationship.
Su Yin is because of his attitude, so far he has not been close to Gao Jun, this matter has made Liu Yuru too uneasy, so it is inconvenient for Liu Yuru to squeak today.
She peeked at Gao Jun, with worry and helplessness in her eyes, not knowing what he was going to do. Liu Yuru got up and poured wine for the Su brothers and persuaded them to drink.
But Su Miao was preoccupied, and seeing that Shang Shuling had been silent for a long time, the wine couldn't be drunk.
He also knew that no one wanted to care about this matter, even the emperor had left his own son-in-law behind, let alone outsiders!
Gao Jun raised his wine glass and drank it himself, saying in his heart, Su Yin's uncle had won his great respect, and he had already been stronger than Su Yin's father.
He was just thinking about where to start this matter, to take care of it, but he couldn't make it clear.
He put down his glass and said, "Find Deng Zhou in the book." ”
Several women on the table jumped up almost at the same time, scrambling to find it, first finding the letter box in order, and then finding the book, Fan Ying quickly found the Dengzhou volume, turned the page of the book, and stuffed it to the senior brother.
This place is located in the south of the mountain, there is the fertile field of Nanyang, there are Danjiangkou aquatic products and countless timber, it is indeed a good place, from here over the mountain is Chang'an, along the Han River south is the south of the Yangtze River.
The emperor sealed his four sons here, and I have to say that the original intention was good. And this is almost under the emperor's nose, from the Daming Palace to the south, you can almost see it.
But who knows!
Shang Shuling believes that the history of a state's assassination cannot be like a ruffian! A faithful person will be rewarded! Instead of watching Deng Zhou's father and son win the crown, it is better to send them away as soon as possible!
Su Yin no longer wiped his tears, "Jun, what do you care?" ”
Gao Jun thought for a while and said, "I don't care about the affairs of the royal family. ”
Su and Su Miao also looked up at Gao Jun in surprise, and Liu Yuru and the others were also surprised.
When Su Yin heard this, her face turned red, and in front of her father and uncle, Gao Jun answered too categorically! She felt that her face was gloomy, and despite the presence of everyone, she stood up at once, and she wanted to go to the back house.
Xie Jinlian shouted, "That Deng Gongzi's invincible style is very hateful!" When we accompanied Sister Liu in Shanyang Town, he heard that Sister Liu had invited herself out, and wanted her and Fan Ying to give him the status quo, and use Shanyang Town as his foothold to travel back and forth between Chang'an and Dengzhou! ”
Gao Jun grabbed Su Yin's skirt and waist, dragging her and couldn't move even if she wanted to take a step, Su Yin turned his hand to break it, but that hand was like a pliers where to move!
Gao Jun dragged Su Yin like this, looked at Xie Jinlian viciously and said, "Radical generals!" When did you learn this? Xie Jinlian shrank her neck and stopped squeaking.
Gao Jun said to Su Yin, "Don't go, follow me to the study for a while and write an urgent recital." ”
Su Yinfu sat down again and said angrily, "You don't care about my uncle's business, it's your business to write the recital, and I don't care either!" Su raised her hand at her daughter, and didn't know what to say, knowing that she had made another mistake with her.
Su Miao hurriedly went to see Gao Jun and found that he was not angry, alas, he couldn't do his own thing, so don't mess with his niece's family again.
Gao Jun: "I'm Shang Shuling, I can't manage royal affairs, can't I manage a director of the outer palace?" ”
Su Yin: "But this is at home!" ”
Su: "Daughter, daughter, he should take care of you at home!" ”
Su Yin turned to Gao Jun: "Okay, tell me, what's going on with me at home?" Gao Jun asked her to ask, opened her mouth, but she didn't have anything to answer correctly, how could there be anything at home.
Liu Yuru hurriedly said: "Sister Su, he said that he can't take care of royal affairs, but his uncle's affairs should always be managed!" ”
Su Yin listened, and then looked at Gao Jun, some of them were suspicious, and the anger on his face was gone.
Cui Yan: "And he can also manage the affairs of Dengzhou's assassination!" ”
When Gao Jun heard this, he let go of his hand and grabbed the wine glass and drank it all, and said to Su Miao, "Uncle, you will never come to Chang'an, and tomorrow I will let Su Yin, the palace supervisor and Siqing Assassin Shi accompany you to go around Chang'an City and relax." ”
Su Miao tried to ask, "Then how many days will I have to turn around?" If it's too long......"
Gao Jun said with a smile, "Uncle, please rest assured, if you come to Chang'an and don't go back for a long time, King Shunyang will never worry about you abandoning him, but will be very down-to-earth." ”
After sending the two Su brothers to the guest room to rest, Su Yin didn't wait for Gao Jun to speak again, he stood up and went to the study first. When Gao Jun walked in, he found that she had already laid out the paper and the ink had been studied.
Gao Jun sat down and stared at her for a while,
