Chapter 442: Princess's Mansion
Officialdom, since ancient times is a big vanity fair, all for officials, are clever and transparent people, climbing high and low, is the most common means of people in officialdom, as for what life and death, unless it is a last resort, otherwise, even if it is a friend who sat together and drank yesterday, as long as something happens today, he will immediately become an enemy of life.
Those who can speak to advise in times of crisis are either relatives and friends, or real friends of life and death.
The Xue family and Duan Jian are like this, although the Xue family and Duan Jian do not have too much intersection, and even Duan Jian and the people of the Xue family, except for Xue Ling, have not even met a few times, but their relationship is extremely close, which can be seen from the fact that Xue Rengui gave him the private seal he carried with him when Duan Jian went south.
It is precisely because of this relationship that Xue Ne is so related to Duan Jian, and he grabbed Di Renjie early in the morning to listen to the situation.
Di Renjie also knew about the relationship between Duan Jian and the Xue family, so he didn't treat others as perfunctory, but said with a smile, "General Xue, don't be anxious, although this apprentice looks quite jumpy, when has he suffered a loss in business, this time it seems not small, but maybe it will play an unexpected role, you can wait to see the show with peace of mind!" ”
Xue Ne doesn't look at the name of the family, but after Xue Rengui, he still maintains the huge family of the Xue family, and he is prosperous for a long time, how can he be a simple character, at first it was because he was really worried about Duan Jian in his heart, and after hearing Di Renjie's suggestive words, he also had some thoughts in his heart.
"That's good, that's good, when Grandpa was alive, he once said that he wanted the younger brother to treat Duan Xian's nephew as his own family, if he watched him have an accident, the younger brother would really have no face to see Grandpa." Xue Ne said with a little peace of mind.
...........................
Luoyang Renyi Fang, located in the southeast of Luoyang, the place is wide, the environment is elegant, the most important thing is not far from the imperial city, it can be said that it is the foot of the Son of Heaven, of course, such a good place, just like the land of the old Beijing city in later generations, it is not enough to have money, the most important thing is to have the right, the entire Tang magnates, more than three products, half of them live here.
Such a place is usually extremely quiet, and even the pedestrians on the road are cautious when walking, for fear of disturbing a nobleman, but today, this scene was broken, and from a mansion in the fang, there were bursts of crying.
"Wu Shangshu help, help!"
It can be heard from the crying that this is the mansion of a Shangshu, this Shangshu is still surnamed Wu, and the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu, among the six departments, there is only one person surnamed Wu, that is, the nephew of the current Empress Dowager Wu Zetian, Wu Sansi.
With the gradual stabilization of Wu Zetian's position, the status of the children of the Wu family has also been greatly improved, Wu Chenghei will not say, as the most appreciated nephew of the Wu Zetian among the children of the Wu family, he not only inherited the title of Duke of Zhou, but also became the third product of the Tongzhong Book Sect early, that is, the so-called prime minister, which can be described as a high status.
Although Wu Sansi was not as loved by Wu Zetian as Wu Chenghei, he was also reused because of the same Wu family, and was exceptionally promoted to the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites by Wu Zetian.
"Yo, I thought it was someone who came early in the morning to find bad luck, it turned out to be from the imperial history, why, come to the imperial history is usually so busy, how can I have time to come to this small place today, is it possible that there is a rebellion in this house, if this is the case, you must search and search well, and you must not miss it."
Looking at Lai Junchen, who was kneeling in front of him and wailing, Wu Sansi said with a mocking face.
It stands to reason that Wu Sansi is Wu Zetian's own nephew, and what Lai Junchen usually does is to eliminate Wu Zetian's opponents, even if Wu Sansi doesn't like to come to Junchen, at least the etiquette should be a little bit more important, but the actual situation is like this, I am afraid that if outsiders hear it, no one will believe it.
In fact, there is still this trace of secret, although Lai Junchen relied on whistleblowing to get Wu Zetian's reuse, but he was not valued by Wu Zetian from the beginning, when Lai Junchen left at the beginning, Wu Sansi's disciples, it was with Wu Sansi's recommendation, and in addition to Lai Junchen, he did have some ability, so he was reused by Wu Zetian.
Of course, Wu Sansi is not a good bird, he recommended Lai Junchen, and he also hoped to be able to control Lai Junchen through this means, what he didn't expect was that Lai Junchen was not a good bird, and after climbing Wu Zetian, he threw Wu Sansi aside.
In this case, how could Wu Sansi be willing, but as Lai Junchen's status became higher and higher, Wu Sansi didn't dare to retaliate against him openly, so he could only hate him in his heart.
For another person, in the face of Wu Sansi's sneering sarcasm, I am afraid that he will turn his head and leave, but what kind of person is Lai Junchen, who has been crawling on the street since he was a child, and wants everything, but he is shameless, not to mention Wu Sansi's sarcasm of him, even if he really spits on his face, he will not take it seriously.
"Master Wu Shangshu has a lot, the small one didn't know what to do before, and offended you, as long as you can save the small one and let the little one pass this mouth, from now on the little one will be the lackey next to you, come in the water, go in the fire, and must obey your orders."
While speaking, Lai Junchen also stretched out his slap,
"Bang Bang ........."
The left and right bows hit his mouth, because of the full strength, after a while, blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, but he didn't stop as if he didn't react.
"Okay, stop it, it's also a court official, it's really a decent behavior like this, let's talk about it, what's going on."
Seeing that Lai Junchen's face had been beaten and bleeding and swollen like a pig's head, the anger in Wu Sansi's heart was almost gone, and he opened his mouth to stop him.
Hearing Wu Sansi's words, Lai Junchen felt a little bit in his heart, in the palace, from Shangguan Wan'er's mouth, he knew that Wu Zetian was just grounded in Duan Jian, and he didn't even reprimand, he was terrified in his heart, for fear that because of this matter, he would be disgusted by Wu Zetian, so he had no choice but to find someone to help, but he also knew that what he did offended people too much, and other officials were eager to eat his flesh and drink his blood, and when they saw him unlucky, they didn't even have time to be happy, how could they help him.
Thinking about it, only one Wu Sansi has something to do with it, and Wu Sansi is Wu Zetian's nephew, and he is also a comrade-in-arms in the trenches, so there is still a certain opportunity.
It's just that he also knows that because of the previous incident, Wu Sansi has anger in his heart, if he doesn't let him vent it, Wu Sansi will definitely not help him, and in desperation, he can only choose this way of self-harm to disintegrate Wu Sansi's anger towards him, and sure enough, the effect is still good.
"Thank you Wu Shangshu, here's the thing, Duan Jian Duan Bufan was recalled to the Divine Capital by the imperial court, you should know."
Lai Junchen asked.
"Yes, at this time, I already knew that Jian had made great contributions in quelling Xu Jingye's rebellion, and my aunt might want to reward him, why, could it be that he embarrassed you." After hearing this, Wu Sansi was stunned and asked.
For Duan Jian, Wu Sansi didn't have too much contact, he only heard some things about Duan Jian from other people's mouths, of course, it was not a good thing, because the person who told him these things was none other than Wu Chengsi, in contact with Duan Jian, Wu Chengsi had suffered a loss, how could he say good things about Duan Jian in front of Wu Sansi.
"Hmm..... Yes and yes..... Not really. ”
"What do you mean by that, yes or no, what can't be said about it?" Looking at Lai Junchen's spitting appearance, Wu Sansi said with some doubts.
"This ...... Well, hey, so far, the little one will be honest with you! In order to save his life and future, Lai Junchen didn't dare to hide it, so he could only tell him that he wanted to give Duan Jian a dismissal, but was slapped by Duan Jian.
"What, you..... You, what is good about you when you let so-and-so say you, so-and-so see that you are really arrogant and don't know how thick the sky is, what kind of person is that Jane, don't look at his official position, but when it comes to the degree of difficulty, it is even more difficult to deal with than the prime minister of the dynasty, that is, a hob meat that can't be chopped, cooked, and steamed, and he dares to offend even the wealthy families in the world, and you have a little imperial history that actually wants to move him, it's simply stupid. ”
After listening to Lai Junchen's explanation, Wu Sansi said helplessly.
Seeing that Wu Sansi was also this kind of expression, Lai Junchen was even more remorseful in his heart, regretting that he shouldn't have done something for the sake of being angry, thinking about it, even Wu Sansi, who was the secretary of the dynasty, and the Sanpin master was full of helplessness when he mentioned Duan Jian, and he went to offend him, didn't he play a lantern in the toilet and look for death.
Compared with Lai Junchen, who was full of remorse, although Wu Sansi was quite helpless, he also knew that this matter was a bystander who was fascinated by the authorities, and Lai Junchen thought that Wu Zetian would alienate him because of this, but Wu Sansi knew that the reason why Wu Zetian let Duan Jian go so easily was not because he wanted to abandon Lai Junchen, but purely because of his love for Duan Jian, as long as Lai Junchen did not conflict with Duan Jian in the future, he would not provoke Wu Zetian.
understands clearly, but Wu Sansi will not explain to Lai Junchen, but wants to use this opportunity to completely control him in his own hands, become a sharp knife for himself, and open up a path for his future.
"Okay, I know about this matter, although it doesn't seem like a big deal, but you don't know, that Jane is very much loved by my aunt, you offended that Jane this time, my aunt will definitely be unhappy in my heart, but don't worry too much, I will find a good opportunity to see my aunt in the next two days, and explain it to you in front of my aunt, I believe that my aunt will also read on the credit you established before, and give you a chance."
Wu Sansi said.
Hearing Wu Sansi's words, Lai Junchen was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly crawled in front of Wu Sansi, and said gratefully, "Thank you Wu Shangshu for saving your life, from now on, the slave will be your lackey, but if you are sent, the slave will never give up." ”
"Hahaha, good, good, good, rest assured, as long as you are loyal to so-and-so, glory and wealth, so-and-so will never be missing you."
..........................
"Bang bang bang, bang ........"
In the same Renyi Fang, not far from Wu Sansi, in the same gorgeous mansion, even more gorgeous than Wu Sansi's house, there was a burst of wooden fish knocking sound, from the bursts of Sanskrit sound, you can hear that this is a temple.
What is strange is that what hangs outside the door of this temple is not a temple or a nunnery, but three words, princess mansion.
Yes, this place where there are bursts of Sanskrit sounds is not a temple, but a serious princess's mansion, and it is no one else who lives here, but the favorite daughter of the former emperor Gaozong and the empress dowager Wu Zetian, the mansion of Princess Taiping.
Since moving to Luoyang, the capital of God, I don't know why, Princess Taiping, an unmarried palace master, actually lives alone outside the palace, at the same time, Princess Taiping is also superstitious about Buddhism, every day at home is not to meditate, or to chant and practice, as if she will become a monk at any time.
For this situation, it stands to reason that it should have been impeached by the imperial historians a long time ago, but the strange thing is that whether it is the imperial historian or other officials of the imperial court, they have turned a blind eye to this strange situation, as if it did not exist, and even if someone inadvertently said this, they would hurriedly stop their mouths, for fear of saying something more and being killed.
"Crunch"
The gate of the princess's mansion, which is rarely opened in normal times, was opened very strangely today, and immediately, a carriage that looked quite ordinary, but was actually extremely exquisite, slowly drove into the princess's mansion.
The carriage stopped in the front yard, and several servants hurriedly opened the carriage door, and then a pretty woman in men's clothes stepped out of the carriage.
Listening to the Sanskrit sound in her ears for a while, and the rich smell of sandalwood in her nose, the pretty woman's face, which was still flat before, suddenly frowned, and asked a maid beside her, "Is the princess still in the meditation room?" ”
"Back to Shangguan Niangzi, the princess is still in the meditation room, and for three days, every day the princess just drinks some water, eats a little rice, and doesn't even eat a few bites of vegetables, people are much thinner than before, in this way, the slave is afraid that she will really can't stand it, you are here today, you must persuade the princess!"
The maid replied with a sad face, looking at that look, it was definitely not a fake.
"Hey, what's the trouble, what is the pain, don't you know that person doesn't know about it at all?" After hearing the maid's answer, the pretty woman, that is, Shangguan Wan'er, couldn't help but sigh.
Because she often comes over, Shangguan Wan'er is no stranger to the princess's mansion, and after inquiring clearly, she thought about walking quickly to the meditation room.
Passing through the hall and passing through the water pavilion, Shangguan Wan'er soon arrived at the meditation room, in fact, the so-called meditation room, that is, the main house of the princess's mansion, only for the convenience of chanting the Buddha, the princess should make this meditation room.
