Honglu Temple, on the black and white chessboard, has reached the final stage of the life-and-death struggle, with more and more whites and fewer and fewer sunspots. Lin Renzhao's head was already sweating, Yang Lian's chess skills had improved greatly, and he couldn't stop Yang Lian's offensive.
"Renzhao, you can abandon your son and admit defeat." Yang Lian said lightly.
Lin Renzhao sighed, looked at the chessboard, and never found the possibility that could be saved.
At this time, Chen Tie hurriedly walked in, saw Yang Lian, arched his hand, and said, "Commander Yang, then Liu Chengyou really went to Shangshu Mansion and beat Yang Wei severely." ”
Lin Renzhao was very interested, and hurriedly said, "Chen Tie, sit down and talk carefully." ”
Chen Tie answered, and when he sat down, Yang Lian had already filled a cup of tea for him, and Chen Tie drank it all, he was indeed a little thirsty. After drinking, Chen Tie began to speak, although he was not eloquent, he still had no problem telling things.
Yang Lian nodded again and again, listened, and said, "Liu Chengyou has already done half of the matter, and the next thing is up to Liu Chengxun." ”
"Liu Chengxun?" Chen Tie asked. He couldn't figure out what this matter had to do with Liu Chengxun.
Yang Lian smiled and said to Lin Renzhao: "Renzhao, can you figure this matter out?" ”
Lin Renzhao squinted his eyes and thought for a while, and said: "Yang Wei, as a secretary of the ministry, is still a privy envoy and a squire of the Chinese book, and he is also a stomp foot in the Han court, and Kaifeng is a shocking character, and now he has been beaten by the second prince of the Han Dynasty, but it is a matter of face. Liu Chengxun, as the prince of the Han Dynasty, is now the actual ruler of Kaifeng, and on one side is the old minister. On one side was his younger brother, and the bowl of water was not so easy to hold. ”
"In my opinion, Liu Chengxun only has one 'drag', and he will wait until Liu Zhiyuan comes back from Weizhou to deal with this matter. However, the war in Weizhou has been going on for several months, and I don't know how many soldiers have died on the battlefield, so Du Chongwei is very tenacious, and I don't know when the war in Weizhou will end? ”
Lin Renzhao analyzed, and Yang Lian nodded on the side. "Go on." ”
Lin Renzhao thought about it again and continued: "So in this matter, Liu Chengxun can only wait, but for the court ministers of the Han State, Yang Wei was beaten, and he was also a member of the court who was beaten, and the other courtiers of the court were afraid to think: The royal family is ruthless!" If the Liu family is unkind and unkind, I am afraid that few people will sincerely serve the country. ”
Yang Lian nodded. "That's just one of the reasons. ”
Lin Renzhao was stunned for a moment, obviously not understanding what the other reasons Yang Lian said, so he said, "Commander Yang, what do you mean?" ”
Yang Lian sighed softly. Reach out, grab two pieces of charcoal, and place them on the fire, the charcoal is heated. There was a crisp sound, and sparks splashed everywhere.
"Renzhao, this matter is just my conjecture." Yang Lian said. After a pause, he said: "It stands to reason that the Han Kingdom is vast and rich, and there are many good generals, Guo Wei, Gao Xingzhou, father and son, are all good generals of a generation, although Du Chongwei is not bad, but there is no need for Liu Zhiyuan to drive the expedition in person." ”
Lin Renzhao nodded, the Son of Heaven is an important part of Sheji, and there are very few things that happen about the emperor's personal expedition, because there are too many uncertain things on the battlefield, if the emperor is captured in the first battle, the entire empire is likely to collapse, therefore, he also does not approve of Liu Zhiyuan's personal expedition.
"Liu Zhiyuan's relatives marched, nothing more than the following purposes, now the Han State is full of feudal towns, many festivals make the army self-respecting, it is good to say that it is to surrender to the Han State, to say that it is unpleasant, it is possible to establish a small kingdom on its own at any time. Liu Zhiyuan's expedition, although the purpose is to fight Du Chongwei, but the deeper meaning is to kill the chicken to show the monkey, and warn the Jiedu envoys in various places that the Han Dynasty has strong national strength, and if you want to be self-reliant, you must weigh it first! ”
"Although the city of Weizhou is tall and Du Chongwei has already prepared, Liu Zhiyuan has already made up his mind, in my opinion, the battle of Weizhou will end in this month or two." When Yang Lian said this, he took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, lowered his voice a little, and said, "And I suspect that Liu Zhiyuan is very likely to die soon." And the crown prince Liu Chengxun doesn't seem to be in good health, I'm afraid he won't live for a few years. ”
Chen Tie was stunned for a moment, things turned around, would such a thing really happen?
Lin Renzhao's face changed, and he said in a low voice: "Commander Yang, you mean that Liu Chengyou is very likely to succeed him as the emperor of the Han Dynasty." ”
"Anything is possible." Yang Lian said in a low voice, "What does Liu Chengyou look like, presumably the two of them already know, with his virtue, he can't suppress this civil and military general of the imperial court at all, Liu Zhiyuan is an old and cunning person, how can he not see the pros and cons?" ”
"A few days ago, I heard that Li Chongxun, the son of Li Shouzhen, was going to marry Fu Jinzhan, the daughter of the Wuning Jiedu Envoy, for a hundred years, it stands to reason that the combination of the children of the Jiedu Envoy will unite the two forces, and the Wuning Jiedu Envoy is in the east, and the Hezhong Jiedu Envoy is in the west, and Liu Zhiyuan will let the two marry, is he not afraid that Fu Yanqing and Li Shouzhen will unite?"
Yang Lian's voice was very low, this was what he was thinking about these days, but unfortunately he hadn't found enough clues to prove that these points were related.
As soon as Yang Lian's words fell, he only heard a "bang", and something fell to the ground. Yang Lian was stunned and changed color, who came to his side, but there was no reaction? If these words are revealed, I am afraid that there will be a catastrophe of killing.
When I raised my head, I saw Miss Fu looking frightened, the tray in her hand fell to the ground, a copper kettle full of wine was tumbling on the ground, and the hot wine was steaming on the ground, and the ground was in a mess.
Chen Tie was the most innocent, and said in surprise: "Miss Fu, why are you here?" ”
Miss Fu was a little panicked, hurriedly glanced at Yang Lian, and said, "I warmed a pot of wine and sent it, but I didn't expect it to fall to the ground and disturb you." As he spoke, he squatted down and picked up the flask. After shaking it, the wine in it was basically gone, apologized, and walked out.
Yang Lian gently tapped the edge of the table and said, "Chen Tie, you go get some side dishes, our brothers eat and drink at the same time." ”
Chen Tie stood up and walked out. Yang Lian glanced left and right, and said, "Renzhao, how did you inquire about that matter?" ”
Lin Renzhao shook his head and said, "From her, I can't find anything for the time being." ”
Yang Lian said "um", thought for a while, and said: "This matter can be put aside for the time being, I already have other plans, these days, let the brothers be careful, don't make trouble outside, it's best to stay in Honglu Temple and don't go out." ”
Lin Renzhao knew that Yang Lian had always been steady, so he nodded, and at this time, Chen Tie came up, and he had already ordered someone to make side dishes.
The Prince's Mansion is located in the east of the imperial city, adjacent to the Bianhe River in the south, the geographical location is good, from the East Palace to the imperial city, only half a pillar of incense time. The crown prince Liu Chengxun's mansion is very simple, and there are only a dozen palace maids, which is not worthy of his identity as the prince of the Han Dynasty at all.
At this time, the crown prince Liu Chengxun was looking at the person in front of him with a calm face, the official secretary and privy envoy of the Han Dynasty were actually beaten, is this worth it?
Yang Wei's face was bruised and swollen, and the skin was broken in some places, even if it was bandaged, you could still see the red blood, which was really shocking, Yang Wei cried with a sad face, and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, you have to be the master for me." ”
Liu Chengxun frowned and said, "Yang Shangshu, what's going on?" ”
Yang Wei arched his hand, and was about to speak, but accidentally touched the wound, couldn't help but "ouch", gasped, and said: "Prince, it's the second prince who hit me!" ”
Liu Chengxun was stunned for a moment, and said in a lost voice: "What, it's the second brother?" But he still refused to believe it, how could the second brother beat Yang Shangshu? Although the second brother behaves perversely, like a child who doesn't grow up, he has nothing to do with Yang Shangshu, how could the two have a conflict?
Liu Chengxun motioned to Yang Wei to be quiet and said, "Yang Shangshu, what is going on, you can tell me in detail." ”
Yang Wei only knew half of the matter, and he didn't know that Yang Lian sent someone to beat Liu Chengyou's housekeeper, so he just said that he sent someone to invite Yang Lian, but Yang Lian was in the second prince's mansion and couldn't refuse. In line with the friendship between the two countries, Yang Wei repeatedly sent people to invite Yang Lian, but the second prince was furious, and took a group of guards to Shangshu Mansion, which made the chickens and dogs restless, and it was initially estimated that more than 100 people in Yang Mansion were injured, at least more than half of them were injured, and even several people died.
As for Shangshu's own condition, Liu Chengxun saw it with his own eyes, so there is no need to say more.
Yang Wei said while crying, what is going on, he was beaten for some reason, if it was someone else, it was the second prince who beat him, so that he did not dare to act rashly, so he could only complain to the prince of the prison country.
Liu Chengxun listened, stood up and paced, Yang Wei was still crying, and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, you have to make the decision for me." As he spoke, he kept screaming.
Liu Chengxun couldn't come up with a better way for a while, after all, one was an important minister of the imperial court, and the other was his younger brother. If things are really as Yang Shangshu said, then the second brother is not, but in front of the father and the queen mother, there must be an explanation for this matter.
Liu Chengxun didn't rush to make a conclusion, so he said: "Yang Shangshu, your grievances are already known, now that you are not lightly injured, it is better to go back to recuperate first, and I will give you a satisfactory answer to this matter." ”
Yang Wei also knew that it was impossible for Liu Chengxun to make a decision immediately, after all, the two were brothers, and blood was thicker than water, how could they make a decision all at once? All he needed was an explanation. Thinking of this, he stood up, gave a slight salute, and said, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince." ”
As he spoke, he slowly stood up and walked out, and the people around him supported him and walked out of the prince's mansion.
Liu Chengxun narrowed his eyes, this matter seems not simple, but there are too few clues, and he can't make a decision immediately. Liu Chengxun faintly felt that this matter should have something to do with Yang Lian, after all, during this time, he had heard about it and knew that Yang Lian and his second brother were relatively close, maybe this matter was instigated by Yang Lian.
We have to investigate and investigate first, and then make a decision, and besides, my father should be back soon, and it may be better to let my father handle this matter. Liu Chengxun paid attention and hurriedly called Li Ye and asked him to find out the ins and outs of the whole matter.
