Chapter 216: Changes in Jiangdu (1)
Dad left us and chatted for a long time, I played chess with Dad again, and Sanniang helped me with ideas on the side, completely forgetting the rules of watching chess and being silent, in fact, they were all blindly commanding, and as a result, Sanniang and I played against Daddy alone, but they were killed.
This has been the case for several rounds in a row, and the father said with a smile: "The commander of the three armies is the only one." The two of you are going to lose no matter what. β
It was already very late when he returned from the Tang Palace, and Chen Yanshou was already planning to leave, and when he saw me coming back, he handed me a letter and said, "Shizi, Jiangdu has a letter, please take a look." β
I was stunned for a moment and said, "Aren't all such documents transferred to my father now?" Why do you want me to come and see it? β
Chen Yanshou said: "The rest has been sent, only this one is left, which is specially explained by the people of Jiangdu to the son." β
I took the paperwork, and it was a little heavy, as if there was something else in it. Sure enough, as he said, the cover of the document reads "Tang Wang's Prince Personally Enlightened", and the other line is "Dacheng Xiangyu Culture and Worship".
Looking at Yu Wenhua and the strong and familiar handwriting, my hands couldn't help but tremble slightly, I had broken off my friendship with him, and I had not spoken for several years, and I couldn't guess what would be written in this thin letter.
After Chen Yanshou left, I returned to Cunmo Hall, and Zimin came to look for me not long after, and said with a smile: "Today's discussion, but I have a good time?" β
I looked up at Zimin and said with a smile: "Father won't really deal with him, let him go." β
Zimin walked up to me and said, "Xu Shixu said that the eldest brother and his father had a good conversation, why are you still worried about this matter?" β
I shook my head, handed the unopened letter to Zimin, and said, "It's for it." β
Zi Min took the letter, tore open the sealing mud, took out the letter paper, and a string of bracelets fell out, Zi Min was stunned, and before he could react, he was already in my hand.
I looked at the bracelet shaking in my hand, reflecting the dim candlelight, Zimin stared at the bracelet for a while, returned the letter to me, and silently about to withdraw.
I came back to my senses, grabbed her and said, "Don't go." β
Zi Min said: "Big brother, Yu Wenhua and invite you to meet in Jiangdu." β
I said, "You go with me." β
Zimin shook his head.
I thought for a moment and said, "Didn't you say that you would follow me wherever I went?" β
Zimin hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.
When I picked up the letter and read it, it was indeed Yu Wenhua and asked me to go to Jiangdu to find him, but it was very strange, the letter said that if I had not forgotten the friendship between Taxue Xuan and the grass pavilion, I would definitely go to Jiangdu to meet at the drunken Hongjian Teahouse.
Stepping on the snow Xuan, the grass pavilion, the river is drunk and gradually ...... These places, how I think about how strange.
After thinking about it for a long time, I changed my mind and said, "Zimin, this time...... You still don't have to go. β
Zimin was stunned for a moment, and then said, "There will be danger, right?" β
She looked at me, and I couldn't bear to lie to her, and nodded.
Zimin picked up the letter and read it again, and said, "How do you know?" Isn't this letter written by Yu Wenhua? β
I shook my head, pointed to a few lines on the letter and said, "Taxue Xuan, it was originally a pavilion in Yuwen Mansion, and it was here that I became a confidant with Yu Wenhua. β
Zi Min said: "This is exactly what the letter says. β
I said: "When the Eastern Capital was built, Yu Wenhua and the suffering of the Li people were also here, and they cut off friendship with me. β
Zi Min let out an "oh" and was about to ask again, when I continued: "Grass Pavilion...... Back then, if he was killed by Yang Jian and Yu Wenzhihe, in the grass pavilion outside the city, I also broke off my sword with him. These two places were strangers to me and him, but he said the opposite in his letter. β
Zi Min said: "Maybe Yu Wenhua and hope that the eldest brother will remember your friendship with him." β
I shook my head again, pointed to the third place, and said, "Even if these two places are as you say, then the mention of the drunken Hongjian teahouse in Jiangdu is even more puzzling. β
Zi Min smiled: "I've never heard you say it, it turns out that there is a teahouse far away in Jiangzuo." β
I smiled helplessly and said: "Originally, no, one year when I was touring the capital of Xingjiang with Yang Guang, I was almost killed by Yang Yun Wang Shichong and others in this teahouse...... At that time, the owner of the teahouse sold the entire teahouse to me, but it almost killed me. Yu Wenhua mentioned this, which means that if I really go, I'm afraid it will be a lot of trouble. β
Zi Min continued: "In this way, Yu Wenhua deliberately mentioned that you broke off your friendship with him, will it ...... In fact, I hope that the eldest brother will not go. β
I nodded, but looked at the bracelet in my hand and said, "But this ...... There's no way I'm not going. β
Zi Min said: "Then I should accompany my eldest brother, in case something happens, I can also take care of it." He smiled and said, "It's just that we go this time, but we can't say goodbye." Big brother, how about you discuss it with your father tomorrow? β
I nodded, and I couldn't sleep all night.
Now that Yu Wenhua is also a very good minister, Yang Guang has no one to trust except for him and Yu Wen Zhiji.
On the second day, I went to my father, explained the reason to him, and offered to go to Jiangdu.
But after listening to my request, my father flatly refused without even thinking about itβ
"If there is chaos today, and there are flames on all sides, the people of Jiangdu regard our father and son as enemies. If this is their plan to capture you and threaten you as your father, then your father will be in a dilemma. Built, for the Father understands your feelings, but this time it is an adventure, it is really not worth it. β
After my father said this, I knelt down, "It's about repair, and I can't help but go if I build it." β
Dad touched his beard and said, "Promise to be a father two things, and it doesn't hurt for you to go." β
I arched my hand and said, "Father, please speak." β
Dad said: "First, let Zimin accompany you, take care of you all the way, and rest assured for your father." β
I nodded and said, "I've already discussed it with Zimin." β
"Second, you must promise to be your father and return safely."
I thought about it for a while, and nodded, "There are people in Jiangdu who can take care of it, father rest assured." β
In fact, I still have a bit of luck, thinking that Yu Wenhua will definitely not harm me.
If he is really in trouble, or is coerced, as a friend, I should help him.
Zimin and I walked very fast, without much delay along the way, and thanks to the canals repaired by Yang Guang, the waterway was also very smooth.
Zimin has never been to the south, and February in the south of the Yangtze River has long been a grass warbler flying, compared to the cold wind still blowing in the north, the atmosphere of spring here is really strong.
Although in the south, the scholars had a better impression of Yang Guang, but what he did had already been said to have accumulated people was defeated.
The anti-Sui forces in Jiangdong have been surging all the time, and they were temporarily stopped at first because of Yang Guang's buying of people's hearts, but now Yang Guang's behavior is too outrageous, and all possible forces have surfaced.
Even the Liang State, which was destroyed in the former Southern Dynasties, actually had a tendency to restore.
