Chapter 5 (I)
Connecting ...... The legendary Lian Chang!
~~~~~~~
"Father-in-law, the Sun family just sent someone to report that the people from Yuntai Mountain are gone."
“…… Got it. ”
Nodding, Zhong Da's face was expressionless, and he simply made a mark.
…… This has become the default rule on both sides.
There is no family that can leave a name on the family tree, and there is not a good player who is not good at betting on both sides and three sides. Not only Zhongda, but almost everyone who is familiar enough with history knows that none of the great families in Beijing, while repeating those slogans of loyalty, are not secretly or even semi-openly connected with other possible choices.
The Sun family is an outlier, they also contact Taiping Dao, they also contact Yuntai Mountain, but they are always only cautious passive contact, although they also protect people, although they also help people, although they are as atmospheric as ever, but they have always drawn a bottom line for their actions, and do not put forward any requirements to these forces.
Not only that, but the Sun family even regularly or irregularly, they would report their contacts to the Thirteen Yamen in the form of a summary, just like at this time. But of course, what they will report must be expired, or information that the Thirteen Yamen themselves have or will discover. This is often seen as a kind of provocation by Zhu Zhong, but Zhong Da always just accepts these reports with a blank face and arranges for analysis or archiving.
…… None, no other arrangement.
(Sun Taibao, what a smart man...... )
Thinking about things in his heart, his subordinates did not stop, Zhong Da quickly read all the hundreds of reports with similar formats, and noted his own handling opinions one by one, and after the little eunuch Zhong Sixty-two on duty today took all these documents away and arranged for them, he slowly stood up, and walked towards the Silver Light Pavilion while moving his wrists.
Zhongda's office is very close to Yinguang Pavilion, just a few corners away. He didn't knock on the door, just walked in peacefully, walked behind the two men who were talking, and sat down behind the largest pillar that could obscure their view. And the two continued their conversation as if they hadn't seen him.
“…… King Wu, this time the matter can only be entrusted to you. ”
With a tired look, but there is enough respect, for Emperor Shaojing, even if he does not have the feat of solving the difficulties of ten thousand armies with the strength of one person not long ago, this old man of the same age as his father, the only giant who has survived from the previous era to the present, is definitely qualified to be treated like this.
"Your Majesty, I've said a lot before, and I've been saying it for a long time. I'm going to do it this time, but there's one thing I'm going to say again. ”
Looking at Emperor Shaojing fixedly, Ao Fuqi said slowly: "If it is not my race, its heart will be different." ”
But Di Shaojing just sighed, revealing a more obvious tired expression.
"Martial King, I understand your concerns, but."
couldn't help but sit up straight, Emperor Shaojing said: "I am a lion and tiger, then he is a lackey, I am a pig and sheep, then he is a jackal...... If it's China, why care about whether the four Yi are different or not? ”
"Obey, to educate, to rebel, to interfere. King Wu is thinking about the teachings of the saints, but what I think is also the teachings of the saints. ”
"Don't you hear...... Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and within the eight wildernesses, they are all concubines! ”
Ao Fuqi's body shook slightly, and said, "I understand, it's me...... It's because my vision is small! ”
He has a martial temperament, and his actions are extremely bright, and since his mind is accessible, he has no hesitation, and immediately said: "Minister, lead the order." ”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sending Ao Fuqi out of the door all the time, seeing him cross the horse, Emperor Shaojing's expression became very strange again, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and after a while, he said: "Gonggong Zhong, go and invite King Wen to come over." ”
The communication with Qiu Yangming was much more amiable than the almost "sabre-rattling" situation at the most intense time just now, although it was still in the Silver Light Pavilion, the atmosphere was so harmonious that it seemed to be a completely different house. Commenting on this year's new tea and talking about several flower scenes he saw along the way, Qiu Yangming's expression was leisurely, as if he would come from Hanzhou to Dijing thousands of miles just because of "Mo Shanghuafa".
After talking about it for a long time, Qiu Yangming muttered: "After King Wu went west, what happened to ...... The minister didn't have much of an opinion. ”
When this sentence was said, Mo said that it was Emperor Shaojing, and Zhong Da also felt relieved, "that matter" He had been planning for a long time and involved a lot, among them, Qiu Yangming's attitude was really important, and now he finally officially agreed to this proposal, which can be regarded as a matter of his heart.
But I heard Qiu Yangming say leisurely again: "That's fine...... Your Majesty, there is one more thing that the minister would like to ask you about. ”
Emperor Shaojing looked at it for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "Naturally, you want to ask about the undead." ”
It is still related to the matter attached to the Jin family, and in the final written report, it did not deliberately hide the role that Yun Chongbo played in the defense of Yihe, originally, there were still people who were worried that this would cause the emperor's displeasure, but no one expected that after reading this part, Emperor Shaojing smiled and said something that shocked everyone: "...... It should be his world, and he should have made some efforts."
Everything about this sentence was immediately amplified, spread, and became the focus of a short period of time, and whether it was true or false has also become a matter of great concern to everyone.
Hearing Emperor Shaojing's answer, Qiu Yangming's pupils suddenly contracted, and he said, "That's what you really said?" There was still unbelief in his voice.
With an indifferent smile, Di Shaojing didn't answer, but asked rhetorically: "I also want to know, who are you most optimistic about the three brothers?" ”
When it comes to the cultivation of Gezhi Kung Fu, Qiu Yangming is definitely one of the most profound people in the world, but when he heard such a statement in person, he still couldn't help but feel a burst of dizziness.
Three brothers!
This is not talking about others, but about the immortal of Taiping Dao, the orphan of the legendary prince, and the emperor elephant and the emperor Mufeng who are fighting openly and secretly for the position of the second prince!
This is not what others are saying, it is Emperor Shaojing who is saying that today's Ninth Five-Year Supreme, the Son of Heaven who is guilty of all parties, once killed his brother with his own hands!
But after all, he is one of the top people in the world, and after a very short trance, he immediately came back to his senses, still with that leisurely and seemingly unrelated look.
"Confucianism...... I only care about whether the world can be stable. As long as you can level the Taiping Dao, defeat Sun Fu, and suppress the major families, whether it is Xiangxian or Mu Feng, it is the same. ”
"As for what happened to the undead, it was just an accident, it was my father's persistence, and since he is now deceased, of course everything ends here."
Emperor Shaojing already knew the news of Qiu Yiyun's death, but when Qiu Yangming mentioned it, he still seriously expressed his condolences and nostalgia, and then ...... He looked at Qiu Yangming and said slowly, "Really? ”
“…… In today's Confucianism, without your acquiescence, Lao Wen would still be able to do even one thing? ”
The rather sharp question made Qiu Yangming's complexion also change, and without waiting for him to reply, Emperor Shaojing had already continued: "King Wen, there are some words that you and I don't need to say, you and I must know that you and I are both pure filial piety people...... I can't bear my father's hard work, so I invite them to travel to the pure filial piety in the forest! ”
When these words came out, Qiu Yangming finally couldn't maintain his original leisurely demeanor, and the two sat opposite each other for a while, then he got up and said, "The minister retires." ”
Qiu Yangming was far away, Emperor Shaojing sat back on the throne, his brows furrowed slightly, Zhong Da stepped out from behind the pillar, and said in a low voice: "Flatten, defeat, suppress, King Wen...... Always be optimistic about the image first. ”
Emperor Shaojing snorted and said, "Xiangxian ...... It's okay if the elephant falls first, I don't know, what he is optimistic about, is it Xiang Xian or Cao Zhi! ”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When Emperor Shaojing finally showed his suspicion of the Cao family without reservation, the second person among the nine nominal sons of the Cao family, Cao Yuanrang, who "broke the army with one hand", was confronting people on the street.
This is already outside the imperial capital, where the "hot spring" is located - naturally not the best. The best springs, that are exclusive to the royal family, are enclosed by the wall. And the water flowing into this area is much worse.
But even if there is a lot of difference, among the thousands of 800 households in the Dijing residents, not necessarily one can afford to spend money to enjoy here. Cao Yuanrang, as a loyal and brave general, is already an upper-middle figure in the army, and today he was invited by a few friends to soak in the soup to relieve his fatigue, but unexpectedly, the owner of the largest and best soup pool here said with a bitter face that the whole store was covered by people today and was not open to the public.
Since ancient times, there have been good Qiu Ba there? The boss didn't say a word, and the officers were already slapping the table and scolding, and the most angry ones were going to rush in to see where they came from.
…… Then they were thrown out.
Cao Yuanrang didn't know the person he was confronting him. This is a tall young man, his face is very provocative, it is almost like the eleven words "Come and do it, believe it or not, I will kill you" on his face, and in addition, he has one of the most prominent features...... Blue hair.
In fact, it doesn't have to be used in this or that family, but when things have developed to this point, Cao Yuanrang can't just retreat, while staring at the other party, he slowly untied the long whip on his waist, and when he was adjusting the qi in his body, he suddenly heard someone laugh and said: "According to our family, it's better not to do it." ”
This voice is very young, and it sounds a little familiar, Cao Yuan let him follow the prestige, only stunned, and said, "Gonggong Zhong?"
The man was dressed in green clothes, like a small servant, and he was actually Zhong Yuan, a rising star among the thirteen yamen, and there was a person sitting next to him, but Cao Yuanrang didn't recognize it.
Zhong Yuan stood up and smiled, "I've seen General Cao." Cao Yuanrang didn't dare to accept his salute, turned sideways, hugged his fists and said, "Gonggong Zhong is this?" But seeing Zhong Yuan smiled: "On the order of the old man Zhong, come to testify." Immediately, his face changed, and he knew that this matter was definitely beyond his own involvement, so he hurriedly confessed and retreated.
It's just that before exiting the hall, he suddenly felt a sudden feeling in his heart, as if he had a feeling, and he couldn't help but look at the corner of the hall, but he saw that it was empty, who was there there?
It wasn't until Cao Yuanrang withdrew from the door that there was a sudden movement in the empty corner, and a person came out of there, holding a black dagger, looking out of the door, and said, "That person's hand...... It's also a Heavenly Divine Soldier? ”
Before he finished speaking, the man who had been sitting with Zhong Yuan before smiled and said, "Exactly." This person is Cao Yuanrang, and what he uses is the 'Whip Xuan Leopard' among the Heavenly Divine Soldiers, and the Pleiades Kei Water Leopard. ”
The man opened his mouth to explain, but he did not fall well, and the two looked at him, one as indifferent as a dead thing, and the other as if he was fiery as if he saw an enemy, but the man was not discouraged, smiled, and still drank tea by himself. Zhong Yuan, who was on the side, stroked his forehead helplessly and said, "Bo Yang...... Can you not speak? ”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Blessed as the East China Sea...... It's a shame they figured it out. ”
On the way in, Yun Chongbo saw a large Buddha statue outside the door, and it was the specification of the "four-faced Buddha".
"Yes, and, let me tell you, this place is not just for appearance, the owner here is really a devout Buddha, and with the staff here, there are many loyal believers. Therefore, some customers who are devout to the Buddha will like it very much, and they will tell you casually, I heard that if you spend money here, it is equivalent to offering to the Buddha and you can eliminate karma. ”
"The believers you are talking about? The ones we just kicked out? ”
"Yes, we really deserve to be confidants, brother, you really have good eyesight!"
"Who is your confidant!"
“…… Anyway, we also played life together, don't be so outside! ”
Not caring about what Yun Chongbo said at all, Sun Fuyi laughed, lay down backwards, and immersed his entire body in the water. This also made Yun Chongbo have no excuse, so he could only think of talking to the third person who was now soaking in the pool.
"Well, Zhao ...... This general, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”
"yes, I haven't seen you in a long time, no...... The undead. ”
Dry conversation, just because the two of them really don't know what to say now.
Yun Chongbo will enter Beijing at this time, naturally he has his own reasons, and the contact with Sun Fuyi is also a pre-determined arrangement, after all, although this second ancestor is wandering, sometimes it will give people a strange sense of trust. As for arranging the place to meet in this kind of place, it is completely due to Sun Fu's nature, if it is not such a place, it will make people wonder.
…… However, Yun Chongbo didn't expect that when he saw Sun Fuyi, he would see an embarrassed and suspicious Emperor Xiangxian at the same time!
Things will develop like this, naturally it is Sun Fuyi's trick, and he invited the two sides at the same time without warning to create such an unexpected meeting. But as a remedy, Sun Wuyi also set up a screen for his son, who was so ridiculous that he dared not do anything, almost at the same time that he knew that he had invited Emperor Xiangxian, he informed the palace, and it was precisely because of this that Zhong Yuan would bring Bo Yang here.
According to Emperor Shaojing's statement, these two young people who had fought side by side in Yihe Chengguan might be right to call each other brothers, but obviously, neither of them had such plans.
In the midst of embarrassment, in the end, it was Emperor Xiang who first opened the topic from Ao Xingxing, which was nothing more than no nutrition, "I heard that you met him in Qushui Huanfeng, but unfortunately he is about to go west, this time I am afraid that you will not be able to meet" Yun Chongbo also stammered and tried to respond, but he continued to pull west along his topic, recalling some of the past events when the two met in Jinzhou, and stumbled a few words like this, and finally fell silent again.
Truly...... What to say?
Could it be that Emperor Xiang first complimented Yun Chongbo and said that you fought so beautifully last year, and even King Wude couldn't kill you? Or let Yun Chongbo care about Emperor Xiang first and say what happened to the inheritance, can I help?
After an awkward silence, Emperor Xiangxian finally spoke again, this time speaking at a much firmer pace, although still slow.
“…… Back in Golden State, I already knew you were immortal. ”
"I know."
"I have always thought that the emperor and Taiping Dao should be able to find a way to end such an entangled confrontation."
"I feel the same way."
The conversation was finally directed in the direction of harmony, and as for whether the "way" he thought of was the same thing, of course, he had a tacit understanding and did not ask in detail. However, when Emperor Xiangxian finally asked: "...... But I want to know, is it the immortal who came to the imperial capital this time, or is it the emperor Chongbo? The atmosphere suddenly condensed again.
…… And Sun Fuyi, who has been soaking in the water motionless since just now, is almost as if he has fallen asleep.
(This slippery!) …… Who is arranging this tonight? And what does that mean? )
Scolding in his heart, Yun Chongbo did not hesitate to answer himself.
"My surname is Yun, and my father is Yun Dongxian."
“…… yes, that's good. ”
This answer obviously made Emperor Xiang relax a little, but either out of malice, or simply the emotions that had accumulated since the time of Jinzhou, Yun Chongbo added another sentence without warning or need.
"But even if it's not to come back and compete for the throne...... For the sake of peace, I have enough reason to assassinate your father. ”
When he said this, Yun Chongbo was even startled by himself, but when he saw Emperor Xiangxian's suddenly ugly face, he felt that it was really worth the thrill...... Even, Emperor Xiang was about to turn his face and make a move first, and he also felt that this sentence was happy!
"Huh? Hey? Hey? ”
After the dozens of women who served in the bath from his own were all blasted out by Yun Chongbo and Emperor Xiang, Sun Fuyi had been looking listless, but at this time, he suddenly came to his senses, sat up from the water in a bang, and the water splashed the two of them.
"Brother, you are so powerful now, you dare to let go of this kind of thing...... Okay, very good, then you must have no problem single-handedly picking out a few drunkards Li. ”
With a flattering smile on his face, Sun Fuyi said: "I have long wanted to invite Sister Qiong to dinner, but I just can't beat that drunkard, two brothers in the world, since you are so powerful, then help me once, cut that drunkard, okay?" ”
"Why should I help you...... Don't you think about your Guanyin sister so soon? ”
“…… I said, don't slap people in the face, brother! ”
Being ridiculed by Sun Fuyi like this, the already stiff atmosphere suddenly relaxed again, Emperor Xiang glanced at him with gratitude, and when he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a loud noise outside, and then for a while, it was getting closer and closer, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
Although Yun Chongbo came here alone, but the emperor and his ancestor Sun Fuyi were accompanied by elite experts, not to mention that the Thirteen Yamen also sent people to witness, in the face of such a character as Taishi Ba's abandonment of his life, who dared to break in, could break in?
I only heard the sound of scolding and footsteps, and there was a woman's crying in the middle, all kinds of noise were getting closer and closer, but the three of them only felt more and more funny, and suddenly saw the door curtain lifted, and the fat boss Lan Siluo rolled in and pounced, and said in a loud voice: "Three masters, hurry up and walk through the back door...... I don't know if the eldest lady of your family called! ”
Before the words fell, a big foot had suddenly jumped out from behind him, Lan Siluo was kicked into the hot water without any warning, and suddenly there was a ghost crying wolf howl, using both hands and feet, and couldn't stop fluttering, but there was still anyone who paid attention to him? I saw two teams of strong maids rushing in, each holding a wooden stick with the thickness of the bowl, murderous, so majestic! How so? There is a poem by Xijiangyue as evidence:
At the foot of the three of them, half-soaked in grease water. Suddenly, he seemed to see the Pingyang Army, dancing with a stick in his hand.
Fang Zhanhuan is fat and thin, and Fang Ge is willow and spring breeze. Who wants everything to turn their heads empty, and when they don't turn their heads, it's a dream!
The two teams of men and horses spread out like geese, and those who dared to rush in to block them were clubs, knocked to the ground and kicked down the pool, and in a blink of an eye the pool was surrounded. These strong women are not taboo at all, and the three of them are not in a piece, and they are staring at each other, and their eyes are really like torches. The three of them sat in the pool, but they had no intention of resisting, and it was just that Yun Chongbo Emperor Xiang first pulled a bath towel to cover his body--- they really didn't have Sun Fuyi's ability to be naked in the face of a large group of women.
I only heard a chuckle, and a woman's voice said, "Can you catch my weak-hearted Langjun and my cousin who leads relatives to evil?" ”
