Chapter Fifty-Six: Yufu Peng's Scheming
(Ask for collection, ask for recommendation) Yang Guang took Yuzan and others back to the Jin Palace, and it was already the third watch. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Jiao Er, the husband of the Jin Palace, stood with a gong and a hammer at the door, and when he saw Xian Yu Luo holding the reins of a donkey, and Yang Guang and others returned, he couldn't help but say, and scolded Xian Yu Luo: "You little rabbit cub, you don't sleep in the middle of the night, you seduce the little master to where to wave, if the little master has a horse high and short, I broke your dog's leg carefully." ”
Hearing this, Yu Zan hurriedly stepped forward, and explained to Jiao Er for Xian Yuluo: "Old brother, don't be angry. Tonight, I led the prince to the East Palace to see the prince, and I spoke late, so don't blame my brother. ”
"You're not a good thing either!" In front of Yang Guang, Jiao Er didn't leave the slightest affection for the big housekeeper of the Jin Palace, and instead complained to Yuzan, "Is there anything you can't say during the day, you have to go out of the mansion in the middle of the night, are you a few bandits in this city?" ”
Yu Zan knew that Jiao and the two were angry, and he didn't care about him, so he turned around and asked Xian Yuluo to lead Yang Guang to the dormitory to rest, and accompanied Jiao Er with a smile and persuaded Jiao Erdao: "Old brother and calm down, there will be people from the East Palace to carry food to our house for a while, and it will still disturb the old brother, why don't I accompany the old brother to drink two sips after a while, and drive away the cold in the middle of the night?" ”
Yang Guang was thinking about whether this dyeing dry would be a scout sent to Chang'an by the Turks, and at this time, after Yuzan mentioned the matter of transporting grain to Jiao Er, he suddenly remembered that there was still a matter of borrowing grain, so he instructed Yuzan: "Yufu Peng, follow this king to the dormitory, I have something to ask you." ”
Zhang Xutuo held a torch in his hand, and also followed Yang Guang to the dormitory, Yang Guang saw Xiao Xiao and Cersei two maids waiting in the doorway with two lanterns, so he ordered Zhang Xutuo to go back to the room to rest, and Xiao Xiao and Cerse led the way in front of them, and he took Yuzan and Xian Yuluo straight to the dormitory.
"Yufu Peng, I haven't had time to ask you along the way, how much grain and rice did we borrow from my eldest brother in the East Palace tonight?" Yang Guang ordered the rest of the people to wait outside the hall, and Shan and Yuzan walked into the dormitory, and opened their mouths to ask.
Yuzan was not without a look of pride, stretched out a slap and shook it in front of Yang Guang, and replied: "Fifty grains of rice, Zou Wenteng will send someone to transport it to our house before dawn." Lord, are you satisfied? ”
Yang Yong only spit out and promised to lend himself ten pieces of grain and rice, but Yu Zan didn't know what to do, and actually borrowed fifty pieces of grain and rice from the East Palace, which could not but be said to be an unexpected joy. When Yang Guang was happy, he was a little worried, and asked Yu Zan: "Tomorrow, the eldest brother won't give our father and queen mother the matter of borrowing food, right?" When I was in Yichun Palace, I looked at what he meant, and it was clear that there was something difficult. ”
Seeing that there were only two of them in the dormitory at this time, Yu Zan smiled slyly and replied: "In front of Mr. Qian today, it is inconvenient for Lao Er to tell the prince Ming, can the prince know, why did Lao Er ask the prince to borrow grain from the prince alone?" ”
"Didn't you say that only my eldest brother in the East Palace could lend us such a large amount of grain and rice, could there be another reason?" Yang Guang didn't feel a trace of tiredness, stared at Yu Zan with both eyes, and asked rhetorically.
"That's true." Yu Zan asked Yang Guang to sit down, and he didn't wait for Yang Guang to speak, but also sat down under Yang Guang, and replied slowly, "However, there is not only one place in Chang'an City that can take out dozens or even hundreds of hundreds. The reason why Lao Er asked the prince to go to the East Palace to borrow grain was first because the prince was the prince's brother, and the prince borrowed grain from him, even if the news leaked out, the prince would not lose face. ”
It is also this Yuzan, who swore to himself during the day that he would go to the East Palace to borrow food from the prince to survive the current famine in the palace, and would not reveal the news, but now he said that even if the news is leaked, he will not lose face. A nameless fire suddenly burst out in Yang Guang's heart, and he couldn't bear to say anything to Yu Zan on the spot, sat up straight, and waited for Yu Zan to say something.
"Lao Er is thinking about the prince, and the first thing he is worried about is that the matter of the food interruption in the palace will be transmitted to the palace and will be known by the emperor's mother, so he suggested that the prince borrow grain from the prince of the East Palace." Yu Zan raised his eyes and saw that Yang Guang's face was not good, and he added two points of caution to his words, and said flatteringly, "Imagine, among the prince's brothers, only the prince is different from the others, and he is your eldest brother, borrowing grain from him, first of all, he is sure that he can borrow grain, and secondly, only the prince will not take the initiative to mention the matter of the prince borrowing grain from him in front of the emperor." ”
"Why is that?" Yang Guang was still confused.
"Lord Wang, please forgive the old man for being presumptuous. Although the crown prince and several princes, including you, are siblings, after all, their identities are different, and there is a division between monarchs and ministers. With the power of the prince, he will never refute the face of the prince and hurt the relationship between brothers because of such a trivial matter as dozens of grains and rice, this is one of them. ”
Yang Guang listened to what Yu Zan said, nodded, and then asked, "What about the second?" ”
"This is the second, the prince has now been ordered to participate in the government, the current situation is unstable, the prince is in need of the prince and other brothers to serve him, the prince at this moment to ask for help from him, is in his arms, with a few dozen grains of rice can be exchanged for the prince's loyalty to serve the prince, the prince is very worthy. Therefore, Lao Er expected that if there was one person in Chang'an City who was willing to lend us food, and would never give this matter to the emperor's mother, it would ruin the reputation of the prince, and this person would undoubtedly belong to the prince. ”
A cold wind rushed into the outside of the hall, and Yang Guang couldn't help but shiver: he couldn't have imagined that the seemingly simple matter of borrowing food would have so much to say in Yu Zan's heart.
He suppressed the boredom in his heart, praised Yu Zan, sent him out of the dormitory, did not take off his clothes and washed, and lay down on the bed, only then did he feel extremely tired from top to bottom.
Today's day, I can be called non-stop, I have experienced a lot: I got up early in the morning to enter the palace to participate in the funeral of Yuwen Yan, to be called to the Wude Hall by my father Yang Jian to listen to the government, and later, because of the misreport of An Ruoxi's disappearance, entrusted by the eldest sister, the first visit to Wanshanni Temple, An Ruoxi admitted that he was a traitor, until he deliberately changed his style, causing the house to cut off food, borrowed food from the East Palace, met Changsun Sheng, and accidentally found the major suspect of Dye Gan...... Yang Guang closed his eyes and thought about it carefully, feeling that the experience of this day was almost worth his own experience of more than ten years before the crossing.
I don't know what the considerations are, he thought of the prince Yang Yong from his nervousness and busyness for a day, and participated in the funeral ceremony in the palace from the morning, until he summoned the eldest Sun Sheng to inquire about the Turkic details at night. Being a prince is busy like this, what's the good of being an emperor. Yang Guang couldn't help but recall that in an online novel he had secretly read before crossing over, he had compared the various identities of the travelers who traveled back to ancient times, and came to the conclusion that crossing into the prince was the most comfortable: he was rich and expensive and didn't need to worry about it.
Combined with what he has seen and heard in just a few days since he crossed over, being a prince and prince like Yang Guang, although everything has not necessarily gone well, is still much more comfortable than Yang Yonglai, the eldest brother who is the crown prince.
At this moment, the balance in Yang Guang's heart inadvertently tilted to the prince who was willing to be a happy and happy prince, only making meritorious contributions, and never competing for the throne. What would happen if Yang Guang did not become the emperor in history, but was succeeded by the current crown prince Yang Yong and became the second emperor of the Sui Dynasty?
With such a reverie, Yang Guang fell asleep.
