Chapter 240: The Undercurrent Surging (2)

It's night

Han Lin

Perhaps it is because the peace talks that have come down for three consecutive days have already made people feel physically and mentally exhausted, and Han Lin is exceptionally quiet tonight, whether it is the Liao camp on the north bank or the summer camp on the south bank, it is quiet as if there is no sound, only the gurgling stream in the middle meanders by.

Although the body was already lying on the bed, the comfort of carrying these many things in his heart did not mean to be sleepy at all, and the success of the peace talks did not seem to bring him much relief, and even An Yi always felt that there was a strange smell in the air.

Let's talk about the things in Lanzhou City first, maybe Jiang Ruyue also thinks that this matter is very important, and the letter sent to him by An Yi asked him to send someone Pegasus back the next day.

Sure enough, there was no comfortable expectation, this Jiang Xiucai's way of looking at the problem was that he was different, when everyone's eyes were focused on the holy decree, Jiang Ruyue felt that the ins and outs of the whole thing were full of loopholes.

Jiang Ruyue told An Yi, first of all, let's not talk about whether King De is really impatient and ready to kill the monarch and ascend to the throne, just say that this imperial concubine Sun is in charge of half of the six palaces, second only to the queen's dignity, even if she wants to plan for her son, she doesn't look for Li Jin or Xu Liang, but she wants to find a third king?

An Yi and a person outside the palace all know that Wang San is Xu Liang's apprentice, and the two of them may have other relationships in addition to this, how can they do things to find an apprentice and not find a master? If this is the case, what does Xu Liang think when he knows? Can he watch Wang San get things done step by step and step on his head?

The second is King De's side, Jiang Ruyue's opinion is the same as An Yi's conclusion about this matter with Gao Ciyi last time, King De needs time now, and Chong is the best umbrella for King De, King De's party, including the old governor and the imperial concubine, they should know it, what reason can this imperial concubine and her beloved son work together to get rid of the umbrella that has been paving the way for themselves?

If there is, then the only reason is that the imperial concubine already knows what news about King Yong, or she can already be sure that if she waits any longer, whether it is Chongzheng or King De, they are no longer the opponents of King Yong, so they must make a decision immediately, and take advantage of the situation in the DPRK and China when the situation is still stable, hold the legitimacy of this inheritance in their hands, and then King Yong will really be in trouble, that is, rebellion, King De will use the orthodoxy of the world to conspire against the rebellious ministers,

Otherwise, when King Yong is ready for everything, I am afraid that Chongzheng will have to change his mind for the stability of the world.

In the end, it was this big eunuch Xu Liang, a eunuch who had been suppressed by Li Jin for a long time, how loyal could he be to the emperor? If he is an old eunuch who grew up with the emperor since he was a child, and when the emperor dies, he will be buried in the soil together, which is understandable, but Xu Liang is just in his early years, and he still has most of his life to live, for a dying old emperor to offend the most likely to become the next Son of Heaven?

This obviously shouldn't be what the mind of a person who can sit in the position of a eunuch at such an age, so Jiang Ruyue feels that this Xu Liang is just doing things for others.

He and Wang San are both their own masters, but Xu Liang is a step above the others, and he took Wang San to make a wedding dress.

After reading what Jiang Ruyue said, An Yi still felt very shocked, the last time he talked to Gao Ciyi about King Yong, he did know that King Yong, with the help of the power of his relatives, was the most powerful of the many princes, but he didn't expect that King Yong had reached the point where he might threaten Chongzheng, but even the imperial concubine got the news about this kind of thing, but Chongzheng didn't know anything about it?

What are the other reasons why Chongzheng can't take care of it?

According to Jiang Ruyue's statement, Xu Liang is very likely to be doing things for King Yong, and at the most critical time, he gave King De and his party a fatal blow.

It's just that I'm afraid that Xu Liang and even King Yong didn't expect that Chongzheng would be so protective of King De, and a fluttering holy decree had a feeling that a big thing would be turned into a small one.

But for An Yi, this matter may not be a good thing, if King De really falls, with the ability of King Yong to reach the sky with his hands and eyes, and the current situation of himself and Gao Ciyi, it is really unlucky.

However, in general, from King Yong's point of view, he did not achieve the goal of completely defeating King De with the help of Chongzheng's hand, so will he have the next move soon?

It's ridiculous to think about it, it seems that now Chongzheng's most protective person is deliberately killing him, and another person he intends to cut off is protecting him,

But An Yi felt that this King Yong didn't want Chongzheng to die, but he felt that Chongzheng's death method of suffering from an epidemic and leaving a will was not quite in his interests.

Alas, the emperor's house......

However, it was not only this one that made An Yi unclear, but also Han Lin's Liao people.

Since yesterday, Xiao Yan'er has held a banquet in the camp almost every day, and on the grounds of successfully reaching a peace agreement, she has hosted a banquet for all the envoys of Great Xia, including An Yi.

Miss Yan'er, who has always been an iceberg beauty to An Yi, also treats each other with a smile every day for the first time, as if she has really won eternal peace between Xia Liao.

And the most suspicious thing about An Yi is that since that day, Generalissimo Han Guangde, who said that he disappeared because of the urgent affairs in the army, has not appeared in Han Lin until today.

All the peace talks, including the banquet, were handled by Miss Yan'er alone.

Are the Liao people so big-hearted? The peace talks are left to a female official, and the main envoys do not show up when the contract is finally signed?

All this was unusual, like the spell of the night, haunting Comfort's mind, and he couldn't sleep for a long time.

"Brother, have you stopped?"

An Yi heard the voice and knew that it was Gao Ciyi, he hurriedly got up from the bed and draped the brocade robe at the head of the bed on his body.

"Is it Ah Yi? Come on in. ”

Gao Ciyi pushed open the curtain of the camp tent in response, and walked in from the outside in armor.

He pulled out a square stool from under the willow round table next to him, placed it in front of the comfortable bed, and then sat on it, and took two breaths before he spoke: "Everything is done, Hu Yujuan and Hu Yuhua, the two brothers and sisters, plus the three hundred sentry horses borrowed from General Jiang, are all scattered, and any disturbance around Han Lin can't hide from our eyes." ”

"Good!"

An Yi nodded, and then asked him, "How is the situation in Lanzhou?" ”

"I didn't go into the city, it was my wife who brought Hu Yuhua's brothers and sisters out, I heard my wife say that the situation in the house and the city is quite stable, and now Liu Biao is in charge of the army. And, I have good news for you. ”

It is really precious that there can be good news at this juncture, and he hurriedly asked Gao Ciyi: "What is the good news?" ”

Gao Ciyi grinned, then took out an envelope from his arms, handed it to An Yi, and said, "It was given to me by my wife, saying that it was sent from Chengdu yesterday, my cousin's letter." ”

An Yi opened the letter and said suspiciously: "Your cousin? Who is your cousin? ”

When he opened the envelope and saw the beautiful and familiar small characters, he realized that this cousin of Gao Ciyi was not Gao Yingshu, this is a serious relative, and it is far away compared to himself.

Gao Ying said in the letter that Chengdu had prepared a prescription that could cure general epidemic diseases in accordance with the prescription previously prepared by Lanzhou Tai Hospital to treat hidden epidemic diseases, and had begun to try it in the quarantine area, and the effect was very good. Therefore, the King of Shu has already sent the recipe to the Tai Hospital, and now the envoy of the Zhao Courtyard is also actively verifying the effectiveness of this prescription.

"Hey, there's finally reassuring news."

An Yi sighed softly, and turned to Gao Ciyi: "Then you can find someone to copy a copy of that recipe tomorrow, and then give it to Liaoying, but it can be regarded as our credit." ”

Gao Ciyi said this very comfortably, a little unwillingly, "Brother, how much effort did it take us to get this recipe out in Daxia, how could we just give it to them?" ”

An Yi smiled and replied to him: "With the scale of this epidemic, you can't rely on the imperial court to make decoction for so many patients, right?" You just tired Zhao Yuan to death, and you can't be busy, you must be with these pharmacies, they are all businessmen, as long as the recipe is passed, how can the Liao people not know? Rather than this, it is better to give it directly to the other side, first, we are still honest, and secondly, we can pay less food. ”

Gao Ciyi thought about it, it was also such a reason, although she felt a little uncomfortable, but she still said according to An Yi, and got up and planned to find someone to copy a copy of the recipe.

"Don't forget, the Liao people are keeping an eye on it, and if there is any trouble, report it immediately!"

Gao Ciyi nodded, "Don't worry, I understand." ”

.......................

Lanzhou

North Lane

It is still the simple room, the familiar tunnel, the dim secret room, the flickering candle flame, and the one who has not changed is still the low-key grandson in burlap clothes, but the person sitting opposite has changed from He Liu to Xu Liang.

"The prince asked me to ask Gonggong Xu for him."

Compared with He Liu last time, Grandpa Sun's attitude towards Xu Liang seemed to be a lot more humble, and as soon as he sat down, he arched his hand deeply towards Xu Liang,

Xu Liang also returned the salute with a smile on his face, "Grandpa Sun is too polite, it should be the minister who greets Prince Yong." ”

Grandpa Sun smiled slightly on his white woman-like face, then took out a small red box from the return ceremony and put it on the table, and slowly pushed it towards Xu Liang,

"This is what my father-in-law needs, and the prince has already prepared it for you, but I don't know when my father-in-law plans to do something?"

Xu Liang didn't answer, took the small red box on the table and held it in his hand, opened it and squinted at it, then nodded with satisfaction, and asked the grandson fairly: "What?" Listen to my father-in-law, is Lord Yong's side ready? ”

Father-in-law Sun bowed to him very politely, "The prince said the truth, just wait for the holy decree of Gonggong Xu's side to arrive, and the position of the palm seal of the celebrant is none other than the father-in-law." ”

Xu Liang waved his hand as if he was shirking, and said with an apologetic smile: "Grandpa Sun, what kind of joke is this with the miscellaneous family, when the prince of Yong ascended to the ninth five-year plan, you are the internal minister of our Great Xia Dynasty, as long as the prince of Yong can agree to everything the miscellaneous family wants, the miscellaneous family will be grateful." ”

"It must be, my father-in-law will put a hundred hearts."

"Okay."

Xu Liang slowly received the small red box in his arms, stood up, and bowed slightly to Grandpa Sun.

"Father-in-law Sun and tell Lord Yong, when the matter is completed, Wang Jing will see you."

"Father-in-law walks slowly."

It wasn't until Xu Liang disappeared outside the secret room that Grandpa Sun's very respectful posture straightened slightly, and the smile on his face became more and more gloomy.
