Chapter 497: Dugu's Fishing Plan (Part II)
"Do you suspect that Guan Zizi, a good leader of Nan Chen's work in Chang'an City, is related to Wanshanni Temple?" Dugu Jialuo looked at Yang Guang vigilantly and asked in surprise. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Do you still remember that when Erchen thoroughly inspected the Shiwu Courtyard five years ago, he found a secret passage leading to the outside of Wanshanni Temple in the Shiwu Courtyard, and according to what he heard and saw on the way to Bingzhou not long after, Guanzi was probably hiding in a temple in Chang'an in this Buddha, linking the two, and it cannot be ruled out that Guan Zizai himself is now hiding in Wanshanni Temple."
Dugu Jialuo was quite displeased when he heard Yang Guang call Guan Zizai a Buddha, and specially corrected him: "The Guan Zizai you are bent on arresting is at most a little goblin who is only hiding in my Buddha's body, how can you call it a Buddha?" Ah Zong, since you say so, my mother also thinks that you have some truth in your analysis, but I wonder if you have a clear goal of suspicion? ”
Yang Guang smiled apologetically and explained to his mother: "It's not that Erchen intends to promote this group of traitors, it's really Guan Zizai's gang is too hateful, and his subordinates incarnate themselves as 'Bodhisattvas', and they incite chaos everywhere inside and outside the Guan, so Erchen takes it for granted that Guan Zizai is a Buddha, and Erchen has been taught by the queen mother and knows that he is wrong." Queen Mother, as to whether Guan Zizai is really hiding in Wanshanni Temple, Erchen is still only a guess, and he does not dare to doubt a certain monk or nun in the temple. Today, the sons entered the palace to ask for a lesson from the queen mother, according to the queen mother, among the thousands of monks and nuns in this Wanshanni Temple, will there be Nan Chen's fine works and scouts? ”
"My good son, I dare you to come to see your mother today, so that your mother can help you investigate the case." Dugu Jialuo was amused by Yang Guang's deliberate repeated questioning of himself, and he smiled and pointed Yang Guang's head with a smile and scolded, "What we want to catch is not the same fish, how does my mother know that the fish you want to catch is not in this river?" However, my mother also understands that you came to see your mother today, and you have a little bit of caution in your heart. I can tell you about my mother's plan and see if it will help you to arrest Guan Zizi. But, Ah Zong, today we have to make it clear, you must immediately report your plan to your father, and after obtaining your father's consent and officially authorizing you, my mother will promise you to take the opportunity of returning to the court this time to continue to track down Guan Zizi. ”
Yang Guang immediately nodded and agreed: "After a while, I will go to the Linde Hall to ask for my father, and explain everything to him in person, I believe that my father will agree to this request of his son." Mother, please speak. ”
"Oh, where do you start?" Dugu Jialuo got Yang Guang's promise, and muttered that he didn't know when and where to start.
"Needless to say, the mother next to her, the son asked the mother, Sima Luo went to Wanshanni Temple to become a monk, who arranged her to the side of Mrs. Xinyi?" Yang Guang was pampered and asked directly.
Dugu Jialuo's eyes flashed, stared at Yang Guang, and replied truthfully: "You guessed right, it is indeed my mother who deliberately made such an arrangement." Didn't An Ruoxi tell you in the past two days, her mother also asked her to go to Wanshanni Temple to beg for Zhao'er's blessings, and when she was in the temple, her mother deliberately arranged her by Sima Luo's side. ”
"If my mother makes such an arrangement, she can clearly order Ruoxi to monitor Sima Luo, so why take this opportunity to further test Ruoxi, Erchen is not wrong, right?" Yang Guang blurted out.
"Nothing can be hidden from your eyes!" Dugu Jialuo said with a smile, "Today, my mother doesn't have to hide it from you, after all, An Ruoxi was Yuwen Panruo's personal attendant, and my mother can't easily trust her." If it weren't for the discovery that she was pregnant with your blood and blood soon after entering the temple, my mother would not have agreed to marry her now. ”
"Let's not talk about this today, mother, you go on, why did you deliberately arrange Sima Luo to be by Mrs. Xinyi's side, is it because you are suspicious of her?" Yang Guang heard that the queen mother was still hostile to An Ruoxi, so he hurriedly diverted the conversation and asked.
"The mind is indeed suspicious." Dugu Jialuo replied lightly, "Soon after the completion of the new capital of Daxing, my mother had intended to come to Xingshan Temple in the new capital as the abbot, but she did not give up. ”
If the mother has no second heart for the court, she will follow her mother's instructions and conscientiously monitor Sima Luo, and try her best to prevent her from having dealings with the former ministers outside the temple. However, according to what Erchen saw when he entered the temple today, it seems that Sima Luo can openly meet with the daughters of the former courtier's family in the temple now, is this also intentionally arranged by his mother? ”
"Not bad." Dugu Jialuo made no secret of this, "The temptation of the mind, like the temptation of An Ruoxi, is just a matter of convenience." The only bait is still Sima Luo. Ah Zong, you also know that Sima Luo's father Sima Xiaonan is now in Nanchen, the official residence is empty, the knighthood is the Duke of Sui, and he has a heavy army, his strength cannot be underestimated, if a certain former minister in Chang'an City tries to get in touch with his father Sima Luo through Sima Luo, and if he cooperates with the outside and causes a rebellion together, the consequences will be far more serious than a few meticulous works and scouts hiding in Chang'an City. Therefore, when Sima Luo entered the temple not long after, his mind was reported to his mother through people, and when someone outside the temple took the initiative to contact Sima Luo, his mother changed her original plan, confessed her heart and mind, and let the female dependents of the former courtiers enter the temple to see Sima Luo. ”
Yang Guang blinked his eyes twice and asked a crucial question: "Mother threw bait to attract fish, but did she attract the big fish to be caught?" ”
"There are still hundreds of former ministers in the court, and my mother can't kill all these hundreds of people, so my mother is forced to be helpless."
Hearing that the queen mother suddenly poured bitter water on himself, Yang Guang couldn't help but recall Sima Luo's various performances in front of him early this morning, and he understood the queen mother's mood at this time: in order to attract the big fish to be caught, the queen mother was obviously determined to sacrifice Sima Luo. Thinking like this, it was only at this time that Yang Guang truly understood the true intention of his eldest sister Yang Lihua to entrust him to go to Wanshanni Temple as soon as possible to persuade Sima Luo to return to the palace to live, and he couldn't help but hang his head.
"Liu Chang of Peng Guogong, Liang Shiyan of Sheng Guogong, Wang Yi of Yingguo Gong, Yang Su of Qinghe County. These are the names that Niang has been able to tell you so far. Dugu Jialuo said the titles and names of the four former ministers at a glance.
