Chapter 5: An Extraordinary Woman
Liu Chengxun's reception banquet was full of praise, Liu Chengxun praised the Tang Dynasty and Yang Lian. Yang Lian in turn touted the Han Dynasty, praised Liu Chengxun, and even said that after he ascended the throne, he would definitely be a famous king through the ages.
This made Liu Chengxun a little depressed, his father is still there, the huge world is still his father's, he is just a prince, how can he say these rebellious words? But he does have the ambition to strengthen the Han and unify the world, and he can't find an excuse to refute it for a while, and Yang Lian looks drunk, which makes Liu Chengxun even more speechless.
After the banquet was dispersed, Yang Lian, with the support of the palace maid, went to Honglu Temple to rest. Yang Lian walked out of the East Palace, although Liu Chengxun still had a little cough, but he was already awake, where was he still drunk just now?
A person dressed as a scribe was beside him, this person was called Li Ye, the identity of the wheel, and Liu Chengxun's uncle. Li Ye said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty doesn't seem to be so easy to deal with." ”
Liu Chengxun nodded, and was about to speak, but he couldn't help coughing again, and as his cough became more and more intense. When he spread out his palm, he couldn't help but be taken aback, his palm was red, and he vomited blood!
Li Ye was startled, and hurriedly said: "Zhao Yanyi, Zhao Yanyi, bring Jin Dan quickly!" ”
Zhao Yanyi, who was dressed as a Taoist priest, hurriedly walked over, and took out two gold pills from his arms very quickly, and a palace maid who rushed to hear the news hurriedly brought warm water, and Liu Chengxun swallowed the golden pill with warm water. Li Ye helped him sit down.
Liu Chengxun gasped for a while, his pale face became rosy again, and as his face recovered, he was much more energetic.
"Although this person is cunning, it should not cause any extraneous branches, and it is advantageous for the two countries to form an alliance." Liu Chengxun said.
Li Ye nodded. said: "The key is not to suffer in front of the Tang people. ”
Liu Chengxun sighed and said, "King Cai's reply to my father has already read it, and the two countries intersect on an equal footing, but in fact, there is nothing about it. However, it is necessary to cut ties with Wu Yueren. This is not in the interests of the Great Han. ”
Li Yedao: "To negotiate with Yang Lian, you must find a strong person. I've heard that when he was in Jinling, he even asked King Cai to pay for food by himself, which was really rude. ”
"He can be without courtesy, but this king can't do that." Liu Chengxun was quite kind and rejected Li Ye's suggestion, but then again, Liu Chengxun was unwilling to pick up people's teeth and follow Yang Lian to learn. It doesn't make the slightest sense.
Li Ye hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has given Yang Lian enough face today, I don't know who will be sent to negotiate with Yang Lian?" ”
Liu Chengxun tapped lightly on the case, he knew very well the situation in the court, most of the people had great shortcomings, or greedy for money or violent, and it was not material for negotiation with Yang Lian at all, so he thought about it. Said: "How is Yang Jue, the privy envoy, the squire of the middle book and the secretary of the ministry?" ”
Li Ye smiled: "Let him negotiate with Yang Lian." As he spoke, he sneered twice.
Liu Chengxun smiled slightly. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt a little dizzy, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "You go down first, I'm tired, rest for a while." ”
Yang Lian was sent back to Honglu Temple by several palace maids. At this time, Chen Tie, Miss Fu and others had already lived in Honglu Temple, and Lin Renzhao also drank a lot, but he was still conscious, and took out a few strings of copper coins. handed it to the palace maid and the guards, and said with a smile: "Thank you, these brothers go to the bar for this money." ”
The guard took the money, with a happy look on his face, and felt that the Tang people were really generous.
Yang Lian was sent into the house, and Lin Renzhao, Chen Tie and a group of old people shook their heads when they saw Yang Lian's drunken appearance. Lin Renzhao felt strange, Yang Lian had always drunk a lot of alcohol, but today he was actually drunk, it seems that he really drank a lot.
Miss Fu frowned, drove everyone away, let people get warm water, wet the veil, and wiped Yang Lian's face. This group of big men naturally can't take care of people, these days they have been taken care of by Yang Lian, and Miss Fu feels that she has to take care of Yang Lian, so she is at ease.
When wiping Yang Lian's face, Miss Fu looked at Yang Lian carefully, and suddenly felt that this person was very pitiful. Looking at the scars on his face, I don't know how much ordeal he has gone through? Why, when he fell asleep, his brow was furrowed, which was completely different from the way he usually smiled?
When Miss Fu wiped her face for Yang Lian, she fell into deep thought, but she didn't notice that Yang Lian's eyebrows moved slightly.
Perhaps it was in this place, separated from the Southern Tang Dynasty by 108,000 miles, that Yang Lian was temporarily relieved. When a person has a lot of things on his mind, he will drink a lot of wine, and Yang Lian suppresses countless things on his mind, making him very careful in doing things. This made Yang Lian very depressed, and Yang Lian felt the need to vent at this time, so he drank a lot of wine.
"Father, don't worry, I will definitely avenge this revenge!" Yang Lian said in a low voice.
Although the words were not very clear, Miss Fu understood, she didn't feel very strange, what did Yang Lian say? Father? Who is the father of his mouth? Miss Fu was full of poetry and books, but for a moment, she suddenly thought that in the past few decades, the only person surnamed Yang and the royal family was the Yang Wu court.
Thinking of the name of the former prince of the Yang Wu court, Miss Fu was shocked, and the handkerchief in her hand slipped to the ground, is this person really Yang Lian, the old prince of the Yang Wu court? How could he be here, and he was actually the envoy of the Tang Dynasty?
Miss Fu's heart was like a stormy sea for a while, and she couldn't calm down for a long time, she couldn't figure out what was going on.
After Yang Lian muttered that sentence, she turned over and continued to fall asleep, Miss Fu woke up, picked up the handkerchief, and rubbed it carefully in the basin. Although she felt strange about Yang Lian's identity, Miss Fu did not reveal it, but after washing Yang Lian, she lay down on the side to rest, Yang Lian drank too much, I am afraid that she will wake up in the middle of the night, and she may want to drink water or something.
In the middle of the night, Yang Lian was muttering in a low voice again, Miss Fu heard it very clearly this time, but she was even more puzzled in her heart, because in Yang Lian's mouth, there were many people, some of whom Miss Fu knew, and some people didn't know, so she had a hard time sorting out this information.
Yang Lian muttered for a long time before continuing to fall asleep. Miss Fu also felt a little unbearable, so she fell asleep on the edge of the soft couch.
Yang Lian slept beautifully, when he woke up, his head still hurt a little, it seemed that he drank a lot last night, when he opened his eyes, Yang Lian smiled bitterly, turned over and was about to get up, at this time, he found that the clothes on his body had been changed.
When Miss Fu heard Yang Lian's voice, she wiped her eyes and got up, and when she saw Yang Lian in a daze, she couldn't help laughing and said, "Young Master Yang, are you awake?" ”
"Was it you last night?" Yang Lian asked.
Miss Fu didn't know why, and said, "The concubine saw that her son was drunk like mud, so she came to take care of her." ”
Yang Lian had a headache for a while, thinking to himself what was going on with this Fu girl? Actually changed your clothes for yourself? He was actually wrong about this, the clothes were changed by Chen Tie, but he didn't ask clearly, Miss Fu thought that Yang Lian asked if she took care of herself last night, so she replied.
One of the two asked vaguely, and the other answered vaguely, so there was a misunderstanding.
Yang Lian said "ah", but before she could speak, Miss Fu said meaningfully: "Yang Gongzi drank too much last night, but he said a lot of dream words. ”
"Oh, what did I say?" Yang Lian was stunned and asked.
Miss Fu smiled: "It's nothing, the son's words are vague, and the concubine doesn't hear it clearly." I could only vaguely hear the names of Fu Huang, Zeng Yiling and others. After a pause, Miss Fu looked at Yang Lian with a pair of beautiful eyes, and said, "This Fu Huang wants to be the concubine's family, and if you have the opportunity, please ask Yang Gongzi to introduce her." ”
Yang Lian was slightly stunned, and immediately understood who the "Fu Huang" in Miss Fu's mouth was, she should be talking about "Father", could it be that she said something in her dream last night? Yang Lian was slightly startled in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, but said with a smile: "He is my distant relative, if he has the opportunity in the future, he will definitely introduce Miss Fu." ”
Miss Fu was not shocked when she saw Yang Lian's face, and she was not sure in her heart, could it be that she had misunderstood and heard it wrong? At the moment, I had to smile and say, "Thank you Young Master Yang." ”
While the two were talking, Lin Renzhao knocked on the door outside and said, "Commander Yang." ”
"It's Renzhao, come in!" Yang Lian said loudly.
Lin Renzhao pushed the door in, and saw that Miss Fu was also in Yang Lian's room, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then a smile appeared on his face. This Fu girl is not bad, and Commander Yang has not married a wife, if the two can be combined, it will also be excellent.
Miss Fu's face turned slightly red, saluted Yang Lian, and then withdrew.
Yang Lian remained silent until Miss Fu retreated, and then asked, "Renzhao, what happened?" ”
Lin Renzhao arched his hand and said: "Commander Yang, I just got the news that the crown prince Liu Chengxun ordered the privy envoy, the Zhongshu waiter and the secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu Yang Juewei to negotiate with the Tang Dynasty. ”
Yang Lian raised his eyebrows slightly, and said: "This Yang Jue, I have heard a little, this person is upright, and there are bribes under him, he put them away, and then handed them over to the Son of Heaven, he is a guy who does not eat oil and salt." ”
Lin Renzhao said: "If it is someone else, you can also bribe, but this person must not." ”
Yang Lian said "um", at this time, Miss Fu came in with a wooden basin, filled with warm water, and saw that the two were talking, so she said: "Young Master Yang, brush your teeth and wash first, it's not too late to talk about it." ”
Yang Lian smiled: "Thank you, Miss Fu." As he spoke, he stepped forward and took a toothbrush, dipped it in the juice and coarse salt of the willow branches, and brushed his teeth.
Lin Renzhao didn't speak for the time being, waiting for Yang Lian to wash up, and Miss Fu took the things out again, and then said: "Commander Yang, I think Miss Fu is a good lady, and she is well-known and courteous, Commander Yang might as well consider it?" ”
Yang Lian smiled slightly, and said in a low voice in Wu language: "This Miss Fu is not a simple person, you find someone and inquire carefully, what is her identity?" ”
Lin Renzhao said suspiciously: "What, do you doubt her identity?" ”
"Not a doubt, but an affirmation, when have you ever seen a woman, followed by a group of men, without the slightest fear?" When Yang Lian said this, he couldn't help but feel a little chill down his spine, what did he say last night, how much did this woman hear? Yang Lian's heart has no bottom.
However, Yang Lian can be sure that Miss Fu has no malicious intent for the time being, or rather, she is not very sure about Yang Lian's dream words, so just now, she will make a tentative remark to find out what Yang Lian's identity is. (To be continued.) )
