Chapter Ninety-Eight: Relationships
After Yang Zhao left, Wang Yuan returned to the hall and saw Gongsun Lan standing in the hall looking at the box full of copper coins and was stunned. Seeing Wang Yuan coming in, Gongsun Lan said lightly: "This Yang Zhao is quite good to you." ”
Wang Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, I don't know why he is so good to me, which makes me a little flattered." ”
Gongsun Lan smiled and said, "You don't know?" However, Yang Zhao is so wooing you, obviously he wants to borrow from you in the future. If you disappoint him, I'm afraid he will turn his face very quickly. ”
Wang Yuan smiled: "Not necessarily, why think about people so quickly." He came today to reveal a lot of things, which he didn't need to tell me at all, but he did, and I think he took me as a confidant. I admired the way he treated people, even if he was trying to take advantage of me, I didn't think it was a big deal. ”
Gongsun Lan snorted silently.
Wang Yuan said: "Do you want to listen to what he told me?" ”
Gongsun Lan said: "I heard it all in the back of the hall, you don't need to repeat it." ”
Wang Yuan was surprised: "So you are eavesdropping? ”
Gongsun Lan said: "I just want to hear what Yang Zhao thinks." ”
"And what do you conclude?"
"There is no conclusion, what he said is quite shocking, your analysis is very reasonable, Li Linfu has become arrogant after this incident, and there is no more peace in the DPRK and China."
Wang Yuan sighed: "It's a pity that no one restrains him, unless Your Majesty can understand that Li Linfu's family is dominant." ”
Gongsun Lan frowned and said: "Actually, the idea you mentioned is quite good, it may be a way to let them fight in the nest, Yang Shenjin and Wang Ruosi fight, no matter who wins or loses, Li Linfu will break an arm." ”
Wang Yuan said: "However, it is useless, these two people are relatives." ”
Gongsun Lan sneered: "This Yang Zhao has been in Beijing from Bashu for less than two years, what does he know?" Although Wang Ji has benefited from Yang Shenjin's promotion today, the two are indeed relatives, but if you know how Yang Shenjin treats Wang Ji and some festivals between the two in the past few years, you will not think that the relationship between them cannot be shaken. ”
Wang Yuan was surprised: "Is there an inside story? I would like to hear about it. ”
Gongsun Lan said slowly: "Speaking of this Yang Shenjin, you must first know what his background is, if you think that he relied on Li Linfu to make his fortune, then you are wrong." In terms of birth and blood, he is many times more noble than Li Linfu. ”
Wang Yuan was even more surprised: "How can you say this? ”
Gongsun Lan said: "I Tang Dynasty destroyed Sui, Sui is the foundation of the Yang family, after the death of Sui, the prince and grandson were not killed, on the contrary, the Tang Dynasty was enlightened and generous, and also named the descendants of the Yang family officials, so that they were officials in the Tang Dynasty." ”
Wang Yuan was stunned and said, "What do you mean, Yang Shenjin...... Is it after the Sui Dynasty royal family? ”
Gongsun Lan smiled and said: "It's not just that the descendants are so simple, this Yang Shenjin is the great-great-grandson of Yang Guang, the last emperor of the Sui Dynasty, and his great-grandfather is Yang Guang's second son, Yang Guang, the king of Sui Qi, who is deeply loved by Yang Guang. ”
Wang Yuan was dumbfounded: "The origin is really not small, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty is really a bit magnanimous, even the direct bloodline of Emperor Sui dares to stay, aren't you afraid that they have the idea of recovering the country?" ”
Gongsun Lan frowned and said: "The early days of the founding of the Tang Dynasty were turbulent, this is a move to regain people's hearts, what does it have to do with bearing?" Besides, the royal family of the dead country is under close surveillance, and there is no chance at all. ”
Wang Yuan's heart moved, after learning Yang Shenjin's identity, Wang Yuan felt that he also seemed to see Yang Shenjin's life, a person with the direct blood of the emperor of the previous dynasty, let him show his loyalty again, I am afraid it is difficult for people not to doubt whether this person's loyalty is true, and to induce all this, only a small fuse is needed. Ask for it.
"Although Wang Ji is Yang Shenjin's cousin, he is too lowly compared to Yang Shenjin. As far as I know, Yang Shenjin did not want to see Wang Jie, if it were not for the family relationship, Yang Shenjin would never have pulled Wang Jiao into the imperial history platform. Now that Wang Ji is the middle of the imperial history, he is on an equal footing with Yang Shenjin, and he has won the trust of Li Linfu, and he has long since stopped taking Yang Shenjin in his eyes. Yang Shenjin is naturally not a fuel-efficient lamp, it is said that he deliberately revealed Wang Jie's background in private, which provoked Wang Jiao and him to publicly scold him at the Yushitai, which alarmed His Majesty to mediate. ”
Wang Yuan said: "What's going on? ”
Gongsun Lan said: "This Wang Ji is not the son of the main family, but the father of Wang Ji was born of adultery with the nurse of the family, this matter is regarded as a shame by Wang Jie, and the Wang family is secretive. And Yang Shenjin knew about the Wang family, and when he saw that Wang Ji was ungrateful, he borrowed wine and shook it out, which is why there is such a play. ”
Wang Yuan laughed and said: "I see, I see, it turns out that there is still this matter between the two, my cousin knows a lot, it seems that in the future, my cousin needs to tell me more." ”
Gongsun Lan sneered: "Then are you willing to hear these things?" This incident was only heard by me when I was in the palace when I was in the palace, and the palace attendants came to report, and there were countless concubines and palace musicians present, but I was not alone. ”
Wang Yuan smiled and said: "Anyway, you heard it back then, and I know it now, this is called God helping me." Maybe there's a lot to be done on this, and I need to do some research. ”
Gongsun Lan looked at Wang Yuan's excited face, sighed and said, "You think about it slowly, I'm not interested in accompanying you here to calculate people." By the way, didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to learn some martial arts to defend yourself? Go to the old place to practice in the evening, don't forget. ”
Wang Yuan blinked and said in a low voice: "Got it, see you in the old place." ”
Seeing Wang Yuan's ambiguous smile, Gongsun Lan's face was slightly red and angry: "You are dead." ”
Wang Yuan smiled and said nothing, and Gongsun Lan hurriedly turned around and left the front hall and disappeared.
……
In the spring weather of March, everything grows wildly, and it changes every day.
The eldest sister Huang Ying planted a few vegetable ridges under the root of the east courtyard wall, and the rapeseed sprouts sprouted within a few days, and the newly planted flowers in the back garden also sprouted, and the ruined lotus root in the small pond also showed sharp little horns. The whole house is no longer as lifeless and dilapidated as it was more than half a month ago, but is full of vitality.
Early in the morning of the third day of the third month of March, Wang Yuan got up, washed up, finished breakfast, came to the front yard, took a stool, and sat under a locust tree to drink tea. Gongsun Lan hurried back from outside the gate, holding a short sword in her hand, her face was flushed with health, Wang Yuan knew that she was returning from practice.
"Are you waiting for Yang Zhao's men to pick you up?" Gongsun Landau.
Wang Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, it's March 3rd today." ”
Gongsun Lan said: "Do you want Xin'er or me to go with you?" ”
Wang Yuan thought for a while and shook his head and said, "No need, if you know what kind of person Mrs. Qiu Guo is, it would be best to tell me some information so that I can be prepared, but yesterday you said that you don't know much about Mrs. Qiu Guo, I'm afraid you won't be able to help me in this regard." ”
Gongsun Lan nodded and said, "I really can't help you, this Mrs. Qiuguo has only come to Chang'an in the past two years, and I don't know her." But you have to know that her reputation is not very good, and it is no secret, except for the things of conduct, I have never heard of her doing anything unreasonable. ”
Wang Yuan knew what Gongsun Lan was referring to, probably the so-called arrogance and extravagance of this woman that was circulating through the gossip on the street. Yi, nature put. Dang, like some handsome sons and brothers in Chang'an City, it is said that because of the convenience of entering and leaving the palace, and the suave Xuanzong also has a hand.
"Got it, don't worry, I won't be seduced by her." Wang Yuan smiled.
Gongsun Lan's face turned red and said angrily: "You want to die again?" Can't get enough of the taste of the tendon hands? ”
Wang Yuan hurriedly took a few steps back, recalling what muscles and bones Gongsun Lan had forced him to practice in the past two days, using a technique called splitting tendons to make fun of himself, saying that his two arms were almost broken, and when he thought about the taste of splitting his muscles, Wang Yuan's arms trembled involuntarily.
"Why take it seriously? Just kidding, and besides, isn't it just a trick for me to watch out for that slut when you remind me of this? ”
Gongsun Lan sneered: "You think of yourself a little higher, do you think this Yang Yuyao is as good as she can do?" I heard that she is interested in the children of the Tang Dynasty, but she is not a poor and famous person like you. ”
Wang Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said: "You don't have to hit me like this, she doesn't look down on me, I don't look down on her, no one is rare, if she takes a fancy to me, it's troublesome." Besides, since someone scares about me, why should I provoke such a woman? If Yang Zhao hadn't forced me to go, I wouldn't have wanted to see any Mrs. Qiuguo. ”
Gongsun Lan smiled: "It's good that you know, I won't tell you, I'm going back to wash, I wish you all the best, whether you can make steady progress depends on today." To be honest, if necessary, I suggest that you please please this Yang Yuyao more, maybe there will be an unexpected joy. ”
Wang Yuan heard her ridicule, and deliberately gritted his teeth and said: "You can taunt me, okay, I'll hook up with her today, what about you?" ”
Gongsun Lan felt speechless, turned her head and left, and said, "If you dare to do this, it has nothing to do with me, but Xin'er will dismantle your bones." Don't think I don't know, you're not a fake couple at all, Xin'er told me. ”
Wang Yuan stood stunned and looked at her departing back, and said in his heart: You are so lenient in your affairs, your apprentice and I sleep in our arms every day, and you have to take care of this. Xin'er is brainless, and she also tells your master about such things, which is really unreasonable.
