Chapter 0369 - Loyal Liver and Righteous Courage
γChapter error, click here to reportγ
Half of the family banquet set up by the emperor was eaten, and the news about the Yang family's support for Zhao Defang, the king of the Eight Sages, to seize the throne reached Zhao Guangyi's ears.
When the third prince told Pan Renmei about this slander, it was equivalent to telling Zhao Guangyi.
Pan Renmei has a grudge against the Yang family, and he will definitely tell the emperor about the unfavorable remarks of the Yang family as soon as possible.
Pan Renmei has a convenient channel for slander, and that is his daughter Pan Ying and Pan Guifei.
A small note was entrusted to the eunuch in the noblewoman's palace, and the eunuch passed it to Pan Guifei.
After Pan Guifei read it, she told the emperor on the side.
seems to know that her family's words are not credible, and Concubine Pan Guifei also mobilized the sisters in the palace who are attached to her to slander together.
The three of them became tigers, and everyone sold gold.
At the beginning, Zhao Guangyi didn't believe it, but there were many people who said it, so he couldn't help but believe it.
"Wang Daban, this way of loyalty and courage is given to Yang Aiqing."
Zhao Guangyi took an empty plate, sandwiched a bear bile and a piece of deer liver, and handed it to Wang Jien.
Wang Jien took this dish that the emperor gave him the name of loyalty, liver and gall, and thought thoughtfully.
The emperor's thoughts, in the eyes of others, are difficult to guess.
But for Wang Jien, who has served three emperors, it is not so difficult.
This dish is not so much a gift as a warning and reminder.
Eighty percent, Pan Guifei's slander had an effect.
Wang Jien glanced at the lady Pan who was flattering in front of Zhao Guangyi with a wine glass, lowered her head, took the dishes, and took small steps to Yang Ye's seat.
"Yang Gong, Your Majesty has generously ......"
Wang Jien put the dish in front of Yang Ye, Yang Ye hurriedly stood up and arched his hand in the direction where Zhao Guangyi was.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After Yang Ye thanked him, Wang Jien laughed softly: "General Yang, Your Majesty said that this dish is called loyalty to the liver and gallbladder......
"Loyalty?"
Yang Ye's brows gradually furrowed.
It is common for the emperor to give dishes, but to give such a name to a dish is intriguing.
Looking at Yang Ye pondering, Wang Jien continued to smile and said: "What is the taste of the dishes given by His Majesty, General Yang has to taste it well......"
Yang Ye clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "There is a mention of Gonggong Lao." β
Wang Jien smiled, didn't say much, and quietly returned to the dragon chair.
Yang Ye frowned at the loyal liver and righteous gall on the table.
The emperor gave such a dish to remind him to be loyal.
But Yang Ye couldn't figure out at all where he was disloyal and provoked such a warning from the emperor.
Until the end of the banquet, Yang Ye didn't figure it out, and the loyal liver and courage on the table didn't move a bit.
Come with the excitement and return with the excitement.
On the way home, Yang Ye and She Saihua sat in a sedan chair, She Saihua saw Yang Ye's frowns, and couldn't help asking, "Chonggui, is there anything to worry about?" How did you come out of the palace and you looked sullen? β
Yang Ye would not hide anything from She Saihua, and told She Saihua about the vegetables in the palace word for word.
When it was over, Yang Ye sighed and said: "My husband has never been able to guess, what did he do wrong to provoke His Majesty to suspect that my Yang family was disloyal?" β
She Saihua said: "Valuable, have you promised a certain prince to open his eyes for him?" β
Yang Ye shook his head.
She Saihua asked again, "Then have you deducted military salaries and drank soldiers' blood?" β
Yang Ye smiled bitterly: "Is a husband that kind of person?" If my husband really drank the blood of soldiers, how could my soldiers follow me faithfully? β
She Saihua wondered: "Since this is the case, it is strange. Why did Your Majesty warn you like this? β
Yang Ye groaned: "As a husband, he can't guess this matter, so he will be worried." β
She Saihua said with relief: "I will go back to the mansion in a while and ask Qilang." β
Yang Ye said helplessly: "That's all it takes." β
returned to Tianbo Yang's Mansion, Yang Ye sent Yang Da and Yang Wu to take their wives back to the room to rest, and then sent the housekeeper Yang Hong to invite Yang Yansi over.
It's late at night.
When Yang Hong arrived at the East Courtyard of Yang Mansion, Yang Yansi was already asleep unconscious.
"Seventh Master...... Seventh Master ......"
Cao Lin slept relatively lightly, and after hearing Yang Hong's shout outside the door, she simply put on her clothes and opened the door.
"Uncle Hong, what's the matter?"
Yang Hong nodded at the door and said, "The master just came back from a banquet in the palace, and he encountered something in the palace. The old man couldn't guess a little, so he wanted to ask the seventh master to go over and take a closer look. β
If everything is linked to the palace, then there is no trivial matter.
Cao Lin, as the child of an official eunuch, naturally knows the seriousness of this matter.
"The concubine body knows, and the concubine body will call Lang Jun to get up."
Cao Lin arrived at the bed and shook to wake Yang Yansi up.
Yang Yansi opened his eyes in a daze and said vaguely: "It's dawn?" β
"No ......"
"What ...... I did without you to wake me up"
Yang Yansi collapsed on the bed on the side of his head and continued to sleep.
Cao Lin shook his head with a wry smile, walked outside the room, and said to Yang Hong at the door: "You also know his appearance of lying in bed." If you can't wake up, you send two people in and put the others over first. β
Yang Hong nodded and said, "That's all." β
Yang Hong summoned two government soldiers, entered the room, lifted Yang Yansi and left.
Yang Yansi was carried outside the door, and as soon as the cold wind blew, the whole person shook a spirit, and the person woke up.
"What are you doing here?"
Seeing that he was being held in mid-air, Yang Yansi shouted angrily.
Yang Hong waited on the side, and said with a smile: "The master asked the seventh master to come over, but the seventh master refused to wake up." The villain has no choice but to make a decision. β
"Put me down."
Yang Yansi roared.
Yang Hong waved his hand and ordered someone to put Yang Yansi down.
Yang Yansi glared at Yang Hong viciously, tidied up his clothes, and walked towards the main hall of the Yang Mansion with a cloak on his head.
Yawned and walked into the main hall, and saw Yang Ye and She Saihua, who were whispering in the main hall.
"The child has seen his mother and father."
Yang Ye stared at a pair of copper bell-sized eyes, and looked at Yang Yansi left and right unpleasantly.
"Humph!"
It's just that he has a request for his son, and it's hard to say anything serious, so he can only snort coldly and pout at She Saihua.
She Saihua understood, glanced at Yang Ye complainingly, turned her head to look at her son, and said with a smile: "Qilang, there is an important matter to drag you out of the bed so late, and I want you to help speculate." β
She Saihua had nothing to be polite with her son, and immediately told Yang Yansi everything that happened in the palace.
When Yang Yansi heard that the emperor gave the dish and the name of the dish was loyal to the liver and righteous gall, the whole person instantly sobered up.
After listening to She Saihua's narration, in the expectant eyes of She Saihua and Yang Ye, Yang Yansi fell into deep thought.
Halfway through, Yang Yansi frowned, and said in a deep voice: "If the child's expectations are not bad, Dad, you have been framed." As a person like you, you will not do those unfaithful things. β
"Framed?"
Yang Ye hesitated: "On the way back to my father's house, I also have this guess. It's just that my father is in the court on weekdays, and he is kind to others, and he is tolerant again and again when he encounters problems. You don't have a grudge against anyone, do you? β
Yang Yansi pursed his mouth.
Yang Ye behaves in the court, just like a good gentleman, and he really rarely has a grudge against people.
But unfortunately, I, who is a son, am a little expert in resentment.
At present, the people who are known to have grudges include the Gao family, the Pan family, the Three Princes' Mansion, and the Eight Sages Palace.
These four families, in the Great Song Dynasty, are stronger than the Yang Mansion.
Among them, the grudge with the Pan family is the deepest.
It's just that who shot at the Yang family this time, Yang Yansi couldn't guess a little.
"Father, mother, leave this matter to the child. The child promised to handle the matter properly and not to cause trouble to the family. β
"Hmph......" Yang Ye sneered: "Can you do it?" β
Yang Yansi took a big bag and said: "Rest assured, leave it to me." β
She Saihua dragged Yang Ye, who was about to continue to suppress her son, and then said with a smile: "Then I'll leave it to you." However, if something is in danger, you must inform me and your father. β
Yang Ye was a little uneasy, and said coldly, "I will ask Yang Hong to send you a team of government soldiers when I go back." β
Yang Yansi grinned and said, "Thank you, Dad." β
"Don't!" Yang Ye waved his hand, "Don't be in a hurry to thank me first, the manpower is to transfer people to you to ensure your safety, not to let you mess around." If you stop shouting and scolding at people's doors like last time, and do these things that lose the face of Yang Mansion, your father will never spare you. β
When Yang Yansi heard this, he jumped to his feet and said: "The thing that blocked the door and scolded before, it has nothing to do with the child. It's all Lin'er's doing, you have to settle the account and find her. β
Let Yang Ye teach his daughter-in-law a lesson?
Yang Ye couldn't pull that face.
She Saihua is qualified to teach Cao Lin a lesson, but Cao Lin's mother's family is too strong, and She Saihua is not good to ask Cao Lin too harshly. She can only be treated with a free-range policy.
Yang Ye glared and said: "Cao Lin is your wife, you husband and wife are one, and what she does is equivalent to what you do." β
Yang Yansi really can't refute this.
He could only arch his hand and said, "The child knows, the child must be cautious in his words and deeds, and not cause trouble to the family." β
"It's good to know."
"The child went back to sleep first, and the child withdrew."
As soon as Yang Yansi left, Yang Ye whispered to She Saihua: "Is it really appropriate to leave this matter to Qilang to do?" β
She Saihua said with a smile: "The concubine looks at Qilang, and she is more thoughtful than you." Don't keep thinking of Shichiro as a child, he's almost twenty years old, and he's also a big child. Besides, Qilang has been an official for two years, and the Jilu official has reached the fourth grade, which is only four levels lower than you, who is a father. β
"Humph! It's not ...... lower than me."
"How long have you been an official, and how long have Shichiro been officials? When Shichiro reaches your age, he will definitely be better than you. β
"No matter how promising it is, it's my son."
ββ¦β¦β
The old husband and wife are noisy and quarrelsome, and they have a different taste.
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, early in the morning, Yang Yansi got up early in the morning, dressed neatly, and went out.
All the way around the Royal Street, to the vicinity of General Shan Temple.
Next to the temple of the general of Zaidan, there is an alley, and in the depths of the alley, there is a two-entry house.
"Knock knock~"
Yang Yansi knocked on the door with his fingers.
A quarter of an hour later, an old man with gray hair, hunched waist, and an old age spot on his face opened the door and carefully examined Yang Yansi.
"Are you Yang Qi?"
Yang Yansi was stunned, nodded and said, "I'm Yang Qi, dare to ask my father-in-law?" β
The old man opened his toothless mouth, smiled silently, and said, "The crippled person has no name. You can call the old man and print the old man. β
Yang Yansi hugged his fists and saluted, "Uncle Yin." β
Old man Yin was very satisfied with Yang Yansi's respectful attitude, invited Yang Yansi to enter the door, glanced left and right, and only closed the door after confirming that no one was following Yang Yansi.
Old man Yin took Yang Yansi and entered the house, to a dark corner.
There are two reclining chairs in the corner, a low table, on which is placed a small red clay stove, as well as tea sets and tea bowls.
"The old man is old, and he can't greet you. You greet yourself. β
Old man Yin was lying on a recliner casually, his eyes slightly pressed, and the green tendons on his neck were shaking, as if he was enduring pain.
Yang Yansi consciously boiled water to cook tea, looked at the shaking green tendons of the old man Yin, and couldn't help but speak: "Old man, look at your appearance, it should be that your joints are cold, why do you still stay in this dark place." β
"Cool ......"
The corners of Yang Yansi's mouth twitched, it's winter, a rheumatism patient, hiding in a dark place to cool off?
Is this looking for abuse on your own?
"Old man......"
Old man Yin squinted, seemed to see Yang Yansi's thoughts, and said with a faint sigh: "Only when lying on the dark feet and feeling the piercing pain all over his body, can the old man feel that he is alive." β
Yang Yansi pursed his lips and said: "You are already unwell, so tossing, I'm afraid it's even worse for your body?" β
Old man Yin shook his head and smiled, and said, "The old man was originally a damned person, but he didn't die. The old man wants to die, but he doesn't want to die. So I can only remind myself with pain, what is the old man waiting for. β
Yang Yansi wanted to ask a question, but he couldn't help it.
This house was given to Wang Jien by Yang Yansi back then.
The people who live here have a little relationship with Wang Jien.
Looking at the pale face and empty chin of the old man, he must be another eunuch.
Such an old eunuch, it is better that he still doesn't know the secret in his heart.
Knowing too much, troublesome.
Old man Yin waited for a long time, but he couldn't wait for Yang Yansi's questioning, and couldn't help but speak: "Aren't you curious, what is the old man, a crippled person, waiting for?" β
Yang Yansi cooked tea, poured a bowl for Old Man Yin, and said frankly: "I'm curious, but I don't want to know ......."
"That's it......" Old Man Yin stretched out his hand to stroke the hot tea bowl, as if he didn't feel it, "It's okay if you don't want to know." You are a smart person. If you don't want to cause trouble, the old man won't pass on the trouble to you. The old man knows a little bit about the purpose of your coming here today. β
Yang Yansi hugged his fists and said: "Please also ask Uncle Yin to inform ......"
Old man Yin closed his eyes and recuperated, but his mouth was not closed, but he spit out the names of three people, "Three Princes...... Pan Renmei...... Pan Guifei ......"
Smart people speak, and they don't need to be elaborated.
Just these three names, Yang Yansi had already guessed what happened roughly last night.
At the same time, I also knew who the person who framed the Yang family was.
When the third prince went to see Pan Renmei and Gao Huaide, although there were no eunuchs and palace ladies to follow him.
However, when he came into contact with Pan Renmei, several eunuchs saw it.
Immediately afterwards, it didn't take long for Pan Guifei to start slandering Zhao Guangyi.
With the eyesight of these old eunuchs, if you can't guess the trickiness in this, it will be in vain.
Yang Yansi took out a box from his arms and put it on the low table.
The contents of the box are the reward for his investigation of the news this time.
"Thank you for telling me, the kid will retire first."
Old Man Yin closed his eyes, didn't even look at the box, and didn't seem to care what Yang Yansi paid.
He is dying, and he no longer has any attachment to money.
Seeing that Yang Yansi had already gotten up and walked out, he couldn't help but speak: "Do you know why the old man calls himself Old Man Yin?" Because when the first emperor was in power, the old man helped the first emperor carry the jade seal......"
Yang Yansi, who was walking out, heard this sentence and almost ran out of the mansion as if he had run away.
"Hahaha...... Ahem...... Hahaha...... Hahaha...... Ahem......"
The old man is like a bear child who has succeeded in his prank, laughing very happily. Moreover, while laughing, he coughs violently, and it seems that he can cough up his liver at any time.
