Chapter 268: Prophecy
(Thanks: Tips for book friends.) )
Wang Yuan's approaching footsteps and lights alarmed Liu Xunzhi, Liu Xunzhi stood up and looked outside the courtyard, and when he saw that it was Wang Yuan, he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Is it Erlang?" ”
Wang Yuan said: "It's me, I saw a fire when I passed by, so I came to take a look." ”
Liu Xun hurriedly said: "I'm sorry for disturbing Erlang." Jiro came just in time, and I have something to tell Jiro. ”
Wang Yuan walked into the courtyard with a lantern, but he didn't get close.
"I'm burning ......," Ryu explained.
"Don't tell me, I'll wait for you under the porch." Wang Yuan smiled.
Liu Xunzhi was grateful in his heart, Wang Yuan was obviously unwilling to break his secret, so he didn't look closer, and he was very understanding. Liu Xun hurriedly threw a few pages of paper in his hand into the fire and walked quickly to the bottom of the porch.
Wang Yuan looked at Liu Xun with a smile and said straightly: "Mo Daojun is early, and there are even more sleepless people." It seems that Brother Liu, like me, stayed up all night. Aren't you used to living in a house? ”
Liu Xunzhi arched his hand again: "Habit, very accustomed to it, Meng Erlang takes care of me, the upper and lower people are also very good to me, eat well and live well, and there are people to serve, Xunzhi is grateful." ”
Wang Yuan nodded, looked at Liu Xunzhi's face carefully, there seemed to be some faint tears, and he was surprised: "What's wrong with Mr.?" ”
Liu Xunzhi smiled bitterly: "I told Erlang to laugh, I heard Erlang tell me about Zuo Xiang's death yesterday, I was in a bad mood all day yesterday, and I couldn't sleep at night." Thinking about the time spent with Zuo Xiang, it is always difficult to be yourself. Although I didn't have a good end with Zuo Xiang, I always served a game, and I always thought of Zuo's kindness to me, and I couldn't control my feelings. No, I got up at night and wrote a few pages of sacrificial texts, and secretly burned them in the courtyard to commemorate Li Zuoxiang, afraid that people would be suspicious when they saw it, but it seemed sneaky. ”
Wang Yuan realized that Liu Xunzhi was burning memorial articles, and the literati's mind was always sentimental, even if Li Shizhi treated Liu Xunzhi like that in the end, Liu Xunzhi was still anxious about the old friendship.
"I see, Brother Liu mourns, the deceased is gone, take care of yourself."
Liu Xun said straightly: "Erlang is a big-hearted person, I am already a person in Erlang's house, I shouldn't be like this, but I can't control it, but Erlang doesn't blame me." Smoked straight grateful. ”
Wang Yuan Zhengse said: "What's the matter? This is human nature. You and Li Zuo have been with each other for more than ten years, and the friendship between them must be deep. Even if it was me, although there was a mustard between Li Zuoxiang and me, I was very sad after hearing the news of his death. I also plan to ask the Taoist monk to do a ritual to overtake Li Zuoxiang, after all, I have known each other once, and I have also been favored by him. ”
Liu Xunzhi suddenly knelt on the ground, bowed his head and bowed, Wang Yuan hurriedly helped him up, but seeing Liu Xunzhi burst into tears, he choked up and said: "It turns out that Erlang also has this idea in his heart, I was thinking about taking a three-day leave with Erlang, and go to the place where he drowned to ask someone to be a dojo, but I didn't expect Erlang to think the same way." Xun Zhi thanked Erlang for Zuo Xiang. ”
Wang Yuan hurriedly said: "I want you to thank me, and you are also free in my house, just say hello to me wherever you go, I will never restrict you or anything." Brother Liu, my rules are different from Zuo Xiangfu, you and I are friends, but we are not the guest of honor or the master and servant. I have many things to rely on you to consult with you in the future, and I will treat you as my own. ”
Liu Xunzhi was even more moved, and he didn't even dare to say it.
"No, there was something I wanted to hear from you tomorrow, but now that you haven't slept, why don't we go to the hall for a few drinks and discuss this matter while we discuss it. How is it? ”
Liu Xun hurriedly said: "Okay, I know that you have done a big thing tonight, and Erlang didn't come to call me, so I don't want to ask." ”
Wang Yuan smiled and said, "Don't you listen to your opinion?" ”
……
The lamp in the hall was turned on again, and the sleepy eldest sister got the news out of nowhere, so she got up to boil water and make tea, got some snacks and put them on the table, and then went to sleep at the urging of Wang Yuan.
Wang Yuan held the tea and whispered everything to Liu Xun about tonight, and Liu Xun's expression was happy and worried, and finally became solemn.
"Erlang, are you really planning to deal with Yang Shenjin?"
"Of course, why else would I go to such great length? Originally, I was just avenging Miss Lan's sister, burning this demonic Taoist temple, and killing these harmful Taoist priests. But as soon as I learned that Shi Jingzhong and Yang Shenjin had a close relationship, I immediately wanted to dig out some useful information from it. Sure enough, it lived up to my intentions. I think that's an opportunity. Originally, I didn't know how to help Yang Zhao sit in the position of left minister, but now isn't it a godsend? Besides, Li Zuoxiang's death must have been the ghost of Yang Shenjin and Li Linfu, and dealing with Yang Shenjin can be regarded as avenging Li Zuoxiang. ”
Liu Xun nodded straight and said, "I understand, and I agree." The dispute between the left and the left is very important to Erlang, Yang Zhao is happy when he becomes the left minister, if Yang Shenjin becomes the left minister, the left and right are all controlled by Li Linfu's party, and only Li Dang will cover the sky in the court. The situation is unfavorable for both the prince's party and the Yang siblings. Erlang is now standing in the queue of the Yang brothers and sisters, and it must be a difficult time. ”
Wang Yuan said: "It's good that you understand, once Yang Shenjin becomes the left minister and Li Linfu and his party control the government, my life will not only be difficult." Although I am attached to Yang Zhao, I am not at ease with Yang Zhao, this person seems to be honest, but he is quite scheming. Once the situation is unfavorable to him, Yang Zhao will immediately defect to Li Linfu's side, and I will be his vote for joining the Li Party. ”
Liu Xun was surprised: "Will this be the case?" As far as I know, the Yang brothers and sisters are very good to you, and they regard you as confidants, so they shouldn't be so ruthless. ”
Wang Yuan said: "Interests first, who doesn't do it for themselves?" If he did that, it would be ordinary, and I couldn't be unprepared. Therefore, I must help Yang Zhao win in the battle between the left and the left, which is the most beneficial to me. You don't think I shouldn't do it. ”
Liu Xunzhi frowned and said: "Originally, I thought that the time was not right, but since Erlang said this, Xunzhi also understands Erlang's situation, and this matter seems to be inevitable." ”
"Brother Liu thinks my plan will succeed? The first time I secretly planned these things, I was a little bottomless in my heart, to be honest, my heart was empty. Brother Liu has been in the Shogunate for many years, so he should be able to see it more clearly than me. ”
Liu Xunzhi slowly stroked his beard and thought quietly: "I understand Erlang's plan, if Yang Shenjin really runs a Zhaijiao dojo in the mansion, if he asks for advice, this matter will definitely cause His Majesty's doubts." But the descendants of the Yang family don't have a rule that they are not allowed to do this, even if they know that Yang Shenjin has done this, they may not be able to do anything to him. ”
Wang Yuan frowned and said: "I understand, this is also something I am considering, how to make this matter arouse His Majesty's anger, I believe that Yang Shenjin has bad intentions, this can ensure the success of the matter." ”
"The content of the prophecy is the key. If it was just to worship the ancestors and set up a dojo to comfort the spirits of the ancestors, His Majesty would never be angry with Yang Shenjin, but if there is a prophecy to prove that he has a bad heart, this matter can have hope of success. But you said that Shi Jingzhong was completely indiscriminate, and he didn't know the content of the prophecy at all, which is a problem. ”
Wang Yuan said in a low voice: "We can make it up." ”
Liu Xun was stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Erlang, that's fake evidence, this is not a joke, do you really want to do this?" ”
Wang Yuan said: "If he Li Linfu can frame people, I can't?" Eliminate harm for the people, avenge Li Zuoxiang, and for my own survival, I can't care so much. ”
Liu Xun gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, it's dry, and it's not difficult to make up prophecies." Liu Xun dipped his hand in the tea and gently wrote a few lines on the table, pointing it out to Wang Yuan.
"Do you think that's how it can be written?"
Wang Yuan read softly: "Within ten years, Muzi will die, and the truth is the Lord, and the restoration of the country is in sight." There is no need for Liu Xun to explain, Wang Yuan also understands the meaning of these four sentences, Muzi is Li, and Li Tang Jiangshan is Li Tangjiangshan. It is really the word after Yang Shenjin's name is removed from the side, and the prophecies are all obscure, but they can also be understood, and Liu Xunzhi obviously knows it well.
"Dazan, Brother Liu was really buried. With this, a secret book can be installed on the charge of seeking revenge on the ancestral business. Wang Yuan praised.
Liu Xun stretched out his hand to erase the handwriting on the table, and said softly: "Don't leave it on the paper first, it is a big crime to be seen." ”
Wang Yuan nodded and said, "I understand, the problem now is that even with this prophecy, how can it be used as evidence, how can it be convinced by His Majesty, this is the real problem." ”
Liu Xun directly understood Wang Yuan's meaning, and wanted to give Yang Shenjin the charge of 'secretly hiding the book to seek revenge on the ancestral industry', this prophecy alone would not do, how to make it a real evidence, and make Yang Shenjin unable to deny it, this requires a more careful plan. You must know that Yang Shenjin can defend himself with a long mouth, and it is absolutely impossible for Li Linfu to sit back and watch Yang Shenjin being framed.
