Chapter 54: A Song 2
The carriage was already driving on West Chang'an Avenue, so it didn't need to be too fast. [Ran^Text^Library] [ ] First, it was because of the crowd of pedestrians, and secondly, it was also because Wang Tian did it deliberately.
He didn't say what he said just now, because he was interrupted by Shen Wuyan, but more importantly, he had no intention of saying it. After all, this matter involves a lot of things, but it is not something that can be guessed at will.
The speed gradually slowed down, but he was also waiting for a response in the carriage, but it had already passed for a while, Shen Wuyan didn't speak, and he didn't have any good ideas about the other party, so he planned to speed up a little.
Just as he was about to ride the horse, he heard a faint voice from the carriage: "Wan Jia must not have this ability...... Assassinate the emperor and give him ten guts, and he won't dare to ......"
A smile gradually rose on Wang Tian's face, and after a while, he said, "When did Gongzi become so imprudent...... Such self-deception should not have come from your mouth. ”
Shen Wuyan's originally indifferent expression suddenly frowned, and he couldn't help but sigh bitterly, and said, "You also know about the Wan family...... None of these people are easy to mess with...... A high arch is already very difficult...... It's really a big deal. ”
Although the words are still joking, Wang Tian doesn't think so. After coming to the capital for so long, this seemingly peaceful capital actually has countless undercurrents surging.
Whether it is Gao Gong, a supreme minister, or the Wan family, the richest merchant in the capital, or the Li Dynasty delegation who has just come to the capital, it is not a trivial matter as Shen Wuyan said.
In fact, for this Li Dynasty mission, Wang Tian didn't care about it at first. After all, the mission had already been notified of its visit to Beijing half a year ago, and it could not be regarded as a response to Shen Wuyan.
Just listening to Shen Wuyan mention this mission, he also had a little conjecture in his heart.
It took too long for this delegation to travel all the way, so it was delayed for several months after arriving in the capital, and the envoys were all figures who could not have sent an envoy to the Ming Dynasty in the past.
In other words, except for King Zining, the rest of the mission was too amateurish, and they may have come to Daming for the first time, and they didn't understand the etiquette that envoys should have.
However, the imperial court should have already known about this situation, so the Ministry of Rites sent people over early to pass on the practice, and what the final effect would be was not something that Shen Wuyan could care about.
Wang Tian did not express these doubts, firstly, because he did not have a unique opinion, and on the other hand, he did not know how to say what he thought in his heart, and how useful it was to say it.
He trusted Shen Wuyan's judgment even more, this seemingly casual scholar had a keen insight into danger. It's been like this all these years, so he hasn't talked about it.
"The prince asks to send Tianjun home every day......" may feel that another thing is more problematic, so Wang Tian immediately changed the topic and said in a low voice: "The prince should also pay attention to this matter...... The young grandmother also mentioned it before, when she talked about it...... Not very happy......"
This matter is really a big problem, on the night of the Yueyun Restaurant in Duanyang Festival, Gao Gong used this matter to push Shen Wuyan to the cusp of the storm, and was almost killed by a dry literati.
Now that Wang Tian mentioned it again, Shen Wuyan's heart was also shocked, and he suddenly felt that this matter should really be dealt with.
After Shen Wuyan smiled bitterly, he sighed secretly in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "I haven't had time to talk to Concubine Li Guifei all the time...... In fact, it is useless to find Li Guifei for this matter, and to find Mr. Zhang...... said that he was going to find a family affair for Jun'er, but he didn't know how to arrange it. ”
"The prince's temperament has changed a lot now...... If he really arranged a family affair that he didn't like because of this matter, he would definitely have some ...... for the prince in the future" Wang Tian paused for a while, and said: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid, the prince is persecuted......"
Shen Wuyan naturally understands this principle, only a year apart, Zhu Yijun is far from the simple child he was back then. The inner courtyard of the deep palace can really cultivate people, so that a child in his teens can already have an adult's mind.
So that at such an age, in fact, his temperament is really tight, and the slightest carelessness will make him unhappy, although there is nothing bad now, but everything may be said in the future.
"Sooner or later he will become emperor...... In charge of the power of life and death in the world, how can he let the deceased live? ”
Listening to Wang Tian's words, Shen Wuyan's heartbeat was a little faster, and his eyelids blinked a few times quickly before he gradually regained his calm.
Although the other party's words are serious, they are really not alarmist, and the so-called companion is like a tiger. Once a person is in a high position, he will not hesitate to mutilate his own hands and feet, not to mention irrelevant people next to him.
Even so, Shen Wuyan still smiled lightly: "It's still too early to think about this...... Jun'er is different from the children next to her, although she learned a lot of bad things in the palace, but after all, it is not impossible to change ......"
Having said that, Shen Wuyan didn't believe his words at this time, so he immediately smiled before he said, "This matter is still under consideration...... I simply want to go with King Zining to see the prince tomorrow, and I can also explore Jun'er's thoughts. ”
After deciding the matter, Wang Tian did not speak.
……
Early morning.
Shen Wuyan did not go to Honglu Temple, but drove the carriage directly to the front of the pavilion and stopped.
The pavilion is built by the imperial court, specially designed for the envoys to Beijing, or local officials to come to the capital to temporarily reside.
Because it was built with the funds of the imperial court, it is much better than the ordinary inn. At least everything you need is complete, which is actually very good for the average official.
It's just that before the carriage stopped, Shen Wuyan heard a heavy scolding voice.
The voice was extremely rough, just like the merchants outside the border that Shen Wuyan had seen in Liaodong. It's just that this voice is not very standard in Chinese, and I can still understand one or two.
"What inn are you...... Nothing...... How can this king sleep...... When this king was in Seoul, how could he have lived in such a shabby place? There was a burst of anger in his voice: "This is your Ming hospitality...... But even Fanbang is not as good as ......"
After the voice, the officials who seemed to have received it in the capital were also very displeased. After all, the envoys who came to the capital were all arranged in the pavilion, even the previous Japanese envoys were like this.
Now this King Zining of the Li Dynasty has come to Daming for help, but he is so arrogant, which really annoys these literati and doctors.
But after all, it is a matter of two countries, and these civil officials have nothing to say. It's just that his face was flushed and his eyes were wide-eyed, but no one dared to say a word, so he let this Zining King be furious.
probably felt that the other party's words were really undignified, and they insulted Daming. Lord Liu stood up from the side and said in a deep voice: "This is my Ming courtesy, I don't know what the prince thinks is wrong?" ”
If it were with Lord Liu's temper in the past, he would have scolded him a long time ago, regardless of whether you are the first assistant of the cabinet or the secretary of Honglu Temple, after all, you will have a long memory.
It's just that today is still quite measured, but I still care about the big affairs of the two countries, so I endure it again and again, but it is really unbearable at the moment, so I simply stood up and said a few words.
King Zining didn't expect that there would be anyone who dared to accuse him in this battle, so after hearing this, he was busy searching in the crowd, just to see how many grades the other party ranked.
It's just that when he saw Lord Liu, he became more and more annoyed, a small official, who dared to speak to himself like this, he suddenly said angrily: "What's wrong...... And thou hast asked of this king...... Don't you know how to check yourself? ”
Lord Liu was already stubborn, and when he saw that the other party said this, he refused to give in, snorted coldly, and replied: "The official has checked himself, everything is normal...... If the prince thinks it is not suitable, he can go out and live in a good inn in the capital...... The prosperous place of my Ming capital will definitely be far better than your Seoul. ”
After the last sentence was spoken, it was even more contemptuous, which made King Zining's face turn black for a while, and he suddenly walked in front of Lord Liu.
"What do you call you...... Can you dare to report what kind of official position you hold in Daming, and how many official residences you have? ”
King Zining, who was already very burly, stood in front of the thin Lord Liu, but he had a sense of condescension, and he himself led the troops to fight, which made him even more murderous.
However, in the eyes of Lord Liu, all this is very worthless, he just sneered and said coldly: "In the next Honglu Temple, from the sixth grade ......"
"A mere six-rank petty official, he actually accused this king of ...... like this" King Zining suddenly laughed, but said: "Compared to your Lord Shen...... But they all don't know how to live or die like this......"
Lord Liu glared angrily at King Zining, and said loudly, "Mr. Shen, how can you mention it...... It's stained Mr. Shen's name......"
King Zining swept over Lord Liu, and saw that there were many people in the field, but it was not easy to attack, but his face turned red and shouted angrily: "You have a Mr. Shen...... I'll show you how you, Mr. Shen, died. ”
"Shen doesn't know how he came here now, Your Excellency even knows how Shen is gone......" Just when Lord Liu was extremely annoyed, he suddenly heard this familiar voice and looked back.
But seeing the scholar in an ordinary Confucian robe, his face was filled with a familiar smile, with a calm expression, and he smiled lightly: "I really want to see it today, this Li Dynasty Zining King's high tricks......"
King Zining didn't expect Shen Wuyan to come over, remembering the loss he suffered under the other party yesterday, his nose was still faintly painful, although he was still unwilling in his heart, but in the end he had to clench his fists and said in a deep voice: "You wait for ......"
Looking at the other party's widening eyes, Shen Wuyan suddenly laughed, but heard him say: "When I was a child, I went to school, and I listened to those vicious classmates in school...... Don't leave after school, you wait...... In the end, it wasn't a big deal, it was just a powerful big brother...... But so what? ”
As soon as he said this, the officials on the side, who had been deeply angered by King Zining just now, suddenly burst into laughter, and they had great revenge to avenge their joy.
Shen Wuyan groaned for a moment, and then asked the Yiyi Cheng of the Pavilion on the side, "This Zining King...... What the hell does he want......"
