Chapter 108: Too Tender
In the middle of the night, the palace gate is closed, and no matter the concubines and palace maids, they are not allowed to go out and move around at will. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In such a quiet and deep night, the people who are still walking around the palace with lanterns are naturally not small people. In fact, just Chen Wuliang, who was in charge of lighting a lantern in front of him at this time, was enough to make the peeps retreat.
In addition to Chen Wuliang, the first few people in hooded black clothes also carried a glass lamp for lighting. This kind of palace glazed lamp, the palace concubines are often treasured as decoration, rarely take out the use, but now it is three at once, looking at it from a distance, the three glimmers in the dark night are like targets.
When he came to the Ningfu Palace, Chen Wuliang glanced at the attendants on both sides of the courtyard gate, and when he saw that they quickly closed the door, he ordered in a low voice: "Remember, even if the sky falls, don't open the door, report to me first when you go inside." ”
"Yes, Grandpa Chen."
Chen Wuliang nodded, and then turned sideways in front of him to continue to lead the way. The two little yellow doors that guarded the door saw that there were four people, and one of them was still being carried by someone, so he couldn't help but look at it twice, and he became more and more unclear about what kind of sacredness was needed for Chen Wuliang, the big head of the Inner Servant Province, to open the door and pick it up in person.
However, as the door of the main hall of Ningfu Hall was opened, it was closed again, and it was Chen Wuliang who personally guarded outside. The two little yellow doors no longer dared to look around, and after checking that the latches were fully in place, they hurriedly retreated into the house.
In the Ningfu Palace, because of Han Yu's urgent request to see him before, the emperor didn't fall asleep, and even ordered Chen Wuliang to go to Xihuamen in person to wait, and sure enough, this group of people followed.
At this time, when he saw a person pull down his hood, in addition to the eldest princess of Dongyang and the Hubu Shangshu Yue Taichang and Yan Xu that he expected, and Yue Qianqiu, who couldn't help but lower his head and rub his eyes after being put down by Yan Xu, he was stunned.
Old lady Yue naturally knew what the emperor was suspicious of. He is not a person who likes to sell guanzi, and after saluting, he said bluntly: "Governor Wu Desi Han should have told the emperor that Yue Zongtang, the youngest son of the minister's family, had been away for seven years, and finally had news back a few days ago." Today, he even ordered someone to send a message to the minister's grandson Qianqiu, and Yan Xu rushed to it after learning about it, only then did he know that he was actually mixed in the Beiyan mission. ”
This is the news that Han Yu has reported before, and now although the old lady Yue has confirmed that this is really the case, the emperor is a little mentally prepared after all. But when the old lady Yue said the next sentence, he almost thought that there was something wrong with his ears.
"The dog said to Yan Xu and Qianqiu that he was the deputy envoy of the Beiyan Mission this time, a nominally insignificant petty official, but in fact he was the concubine of the princess of Beiyan Ping'an."
"Ahem...... cough cough ......"
Even if he didn't drink water, the emperor was still almost choked to death by his own saliva at this time. Although the eldest princess of Dongyang quickly went up to help him beat his back and rub his chest, he still coughed dizzily, and when he finally came back to his senses and sat down, he looked at the old lady Yue, and said with a wry smile on his face: "I said at the beginning that he would definitely become a big weapon, but I didn't expect this big instrument to go to a foreign country!" ”
If it were someone else, he would have to kneel down at this time for fear of guilt. But the old lady and the emperor met in Weimo, and they were the emperor's most trusted confidants, of course, they knew that the emperor was just complaining and sighing. He smiled slightly, took out a piece of white silk from his arms, and slowly spread it out on the small table next to the emperor.
This time, even Yue Qianqiu, who hadn't been able to look carefully before, had to take a few more looks. When he clearly recognized that the lines were outlined extremely clearly, the marching roads were clear and clear on the map, on the border between Dawu and Beiyan, the locations of grain depots and armories were marked, and there was a comparison between the number of soldiers claimed to be stationed and the actual number of troops, he couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly.
Even if Daddy is a real colt, this thing is not easy to get!
Just when the emperor gasped, Yan Xu said beside him: "Xiao Si said that Beiyan sent an envoy this time to spy on the reality of our dynasty. If he sees through my efforts to the outside world, or if my armaments are relaxed, I am afraid that I will invade the south. ”
Although he is not a dictatorial son of heaven, he has just experienced such an incident in the mansion of the eldest princess of Dongyang today, and now he hears that Beiyan may invade the south, the emperor still has no indecision, patted the armrest and said: "In this way, Wu Renyuan and Gao Zezhi should be tried as soon as possible, and the results should be done as soon as possible, and the results will be obtained immediately." It is even more imperative to rebuild the martial arts record. ”
The sleepy Yue Qianqiu's eyes widened suddenly, thinking to himself that the emperor Lao'er was so bold now? But as soon as he thought so, he only heard Yan Xu interject: "Uncle Emperor, things won't be as easy as you say, right?" ”
"Just release the news and say that Beiyan is going to invade the south!" The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, and smiled kindly, "The people from the Qingping Pavilion, isn't Han Yu in charge of sending them away?" It was said that the Northern Yan was going to invade the south, which they heard from the drunken words of those people in the Northern Yan Mission, and they scattered in the market afterwards and ran away. Then, the two cases of Wu Renyuan and Gao Zezhi can also be posted! ”
Yue Qianqiu finally realized that he was still too tender, and the old emperor was not exactly an emperor who was held hostage by his subordinates and could not move, and had little authority, this was obviously an old fox who was quite good at pretending! Sure enough, the next moment, the eldest princess of Dongyang made an explanation for the old emperor.
"Remember that in the imperial history, Pei Xu once posted a post about Wu Ren's love history all over the city? This time, Wu Renyuan's ironclad evidence was taken out by Pei Xu again......" Speaking of this, the eldest princess of Dongyang paused, and glanced at the old lady Yue with a smile, "Yue Taichang, this drama of attacking the east and the west, blaming others, you are good at it, it depends on yours." ”
"Eldest princess, don't talk about yourself."
Old lady Yue quietly shot back, but after all, she didn't push the matter out. He glanced sideways at Yan Xu, who was staring at the emperor in surprise, and thought to himself, You kid is still too tender, is it really your emperor's uncle?
But right now, of course, he won't wake up Yan Xu, because he has more important things to say.
"There has been no real war between our dynasty and Beiyan for many years, although the border armament is not relaxed, but the DPRK is tilted towards the middle, and there are many generals in the army who are born in many sects of martial arts, and the martial arts style in the army is not as good as before. At this time, it may not be so fast to rebuild the Martial Arts, but to let the White Lotus Sect of the Xuandao Hall return to the Martial Records, this matter should be implemented as soon as possible with Gao Zezhi and Wu Ren's willingness to be punished. ”
Seeing that the emperor bowed his head slightly, Yan Xu was overjoyed, and Old Lady Yue threw out another killer move: "Emperor, over the years, most of the Chinese martial arts in the dynasty have despised the various sects as reckless, but they have forgotten that half of the generals in the Taizu army used to learn art in these sects. And many sects are harsh on Wu Pinlu, and they dare not speak out, if this time the Beiyan envoys come to the south, all the way to the light, all the way dark, take the opportunity to spread rumors in the martial arts, buy people's hearts, and buy horse bones with thousands of gold, and deceive those sects who are dissatisfied with Wupinlu to move north? ”
This kind of national event, of course, Yue Qianqiu will not interject indiscriminately, and his eyes only quietly pay attention to the expressions of the emperor and the eldest princess. As for Yan Xu...... You don't need to look at him to know it, because Master has always been a fan of Grandpa's brain-dead - in fact, he is too.
The eldest princess of Dongyang knew a lot about the old lady Yue, and at this time, she frowned and interrupted: "Don't talk nonsense, let's talk straight, what do you have in mind?" ”
"It's very simple, first hurry up and let the Xuandao Hall return to the Martial Arts Record, and then let Yan Xu, the head disciple of the Xuandao Hall, officially take over as the head!"
As soon as these words came out, Yue Qianqiu's mouth was so wide that he could stuff an egg.
And Yan Xu's excitement is needless to mention, he even stammered a little when he spoke: "I...... It really can be done right now...... No, I mean ......"
"Don't say anything!" The eldest princess of Dongyang simply interrupted Yan Xu this time, just when Yue Qianqiu thought that she would refuse Old Lady Yue's proposal in one mouthful, she only heard her frown and asked, "Do you want to use Ah Xu to become the head of the Xuandao Hall and declare your determination to attach importance to martial arts to the imperial court?" ”
"That's right, it is very difficult to rebuild the Wupinlu before the invasion of the Northern Yan and the south, and it is easy to be pressed by people who move out of the ancestral system, and it is even more difficult to resist the pressure of opposition. On the contrary, Xuandao Hall re-entered the martial arts record this time, because there was evidence brought back by Liu Fangyuan and Dai Zhanning, and there was not much resistance, but after all, it was a fact that Beiyan was lowered, so I planned that the White Lotus Sect would be in the front, and the Xuandao Hall would be placed last. In this way, to eliminate a low-grade sect with the son of the eldest princess as the head of the sect, it is impossible for a martial arts person to know it. ”
Hearing that the old lady Yue answered lightly, Yan Xu was surprised on the one hand, but a little depressed on the other, and muttered: "Isn't this obviously cheating for me?" ”
Yue Qianqiu saw that Yan Xu was concerned and chaotic, so he had to remind: "Master! Grandpa means that there is Xuandaotang, which is at the bottom but will never be removed, and other sects don't have to worry about being removed, so even if Beiyan gives good conditions, who is willing to risk moving his family and trekking thousands of mountains and rivers, and will be regarded as a traitor to Beiyan? ”
The emperor wanted to explain to his nephew the intentions of the old lady Yue, but he didn't expect Yue Qianqiu to take the lead, so he couldn't help but look at the child a few times again, and then looked at the confidant old minister. Seeing that the old lady Yue was full of pride, he couldn't help but be depressed when he compared his big fat son.
"If the royal brother agrees, so be it." The eldest princess of Dongyang made a decision in an instant. Looking at the ecstatic Yan Xu, she shook her head secretly, thinking of the resolute and stubborn old man of Xuandao Tangyun in her heart.
In the past, she couldn't help, but now that she has no intention of being an official, let him go crazy!
What's more, this is not a trivial matter, it is related to the future plan of the imperial court!
Seeing that the matter was settled, the old lady Yue touched Yue Qianqiu's head and said with a smile: "This time Qianqiu has made a lot of contributions, shouldn't the emperor also reward this little grandson with something affordable?" ”
