Chapter 120: Wei Chengxiang's diligent government and rejuvenation of the society (3)
Zhao Gui looked at Yuwentai frowning and was silent, knowing that he must have remembered it. He suddenly became excited, walked back a few steps and sat down, looked at Yu Jin first, and then said to Yuwentai, "The prince of Shuofang County is the person who the lord must encircle, and the last time the prince came to Chang'an, he has shown that he does have the intention of being friendly." The prince said that if he wanted to marry Princess Rouran, please abolish the Son of Heaven first and wait for the vacant position. It's better to take this opportunity to ......" Zhao Gui looked at Yu Wentai and didn't say any more.
Yu Wentai stood up and walked to the map, obviously tempted.
Yu Jin looked at Yuwentai's back and hesitated, "The previous incident caused the collapse of the first emperor because of the abolition of Zuo Zhaoyi, it has turned the world upside down, can Dawei still withstand such a toss?" Brother Yuangui can't see that the lord and the queen are now in deep love, there are too many people and things involved in this matter, if it hurts the vitality of Dawei for this, what else can you talk about and Rouran? Not to mention competing with Yecheng Gao's family? ”
Yu Jin's tone was gentle at first, but when he said it, he became angry, and finally his voice was choked. Thinking of the tragic death of the first emperor Yuan Xiu and the distorted palace rebellion, I really can't bear to recall it. Whenever this happens, he always has a deep self-blame.
"Yuangui, you say." Yuwentai asked Zhao Gui expressionlessly.
"My lord, Brother Sijing is very worried." Zhao Gui said in a tone. Hearing his tone, Yu Wentai and Yu Jin knew that the following words must not be good words. But neither of them interrupted him, just waiting for him to say. "Since the Lord and the Queen have a deep affection and it is not appropriate to break up, it doesn't matter. Do you remember? The bald prince also said that he would prefer to marry the princess to the prime minister. Isn't it all right for the lord to marry himself? ”
Yu Jin was choked for a moment and glanced at Yu Wentai uneasily.
"Nonsense!" Yuwentai was already thundered and furious. "The eldest princess is my wife, where did you put the eldest princess? Bald Tujia is a person from Fanbang, so naturally he doesn't know? Don't you know? The eldest princess has a great favor to me, how can she turn her back? ”
Yu Jin didn't speak, looked at Zhao Gui, with an expression that he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, which meant that you deserved it.
Zhao Gui also half-lowered his head, naturally not daring to hard-top.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a crisp cracking sound outside, which startled the three people in the room. Yu Jin and Zhao Gui glanced at each other, and they both remembered the part where Yi Fu accidentally bumped into them secretly discussing Zuo Zhaoyi Yuan Mingyue before, and both of them felt a little uneasy in their hearts.
When Yuwentai was on fire and didn't set off, he walked to the door of the study regardless of a few steps and suddenly opened the door. I saw Yun Jiang's thin figure half-kneeling on the ground, and she was looking down to pick up something.
Yu Jin and Zhao Gui also quietly walked to the door and looked outside from behind Yu Wentai.
It was already dark. It wasn't because it was night, but because the clouds were thick and obscured the daylight, and the big clouds of snow seemed like cotton wool dropped from the sky. I don't know when the snow started, but there was already a thick layer on the ground. The slender maid was thinly dressed, and she knelt in the snow at the moment and looked up at Yu Wentai with an angry face, without a word of explanation. There was a hint of uneasiness in her eyes, she was so gentle and quiet, quietly waiting for the orders of the Prime Minister of Lang, whether it was crime or punishment.
Yun Jiang had a silver plate in her hand, and one of her hands was still subconsciously holding the edge of the silver plate, holding it tightly and uneasily. There are several celadon fragments on the plate. A celadon bean, broken to the point of being only tall to its feet, suddenly rolled on the edge of the silver platter, and then came to a quiet stop. In addition, there are several celadon fragments scattered around. On the shards of celadon beans are broken lotus patterns. A few wisps of steam dissipated from the snow, apparently something hot had just poured down. At this moment, the heat is gone, and the place where the hot soup has been poured will soon freeze.
Yu Jin and Zhao Gui glanced at each other again, and they were a little surprised. The feeling in their hearts is the same, this servant girl's temperament is so elegant, quiet, dignified and atmospheric, it is really extraordinary.
"The lord ......" Zhao Gui took a step forward.
"Someone! Pull out the cane and die! Yu Wentai suddenly shouted angrily, blocking Zhao Gui's words.
Yu Jin swallowed back what he originally wanted to say. At this time, Yu Wentai didn't look at Yun Jiang anymore, turned around and walked back to the study.
Hearing Lord Lang's order, another servant immediately rushed up to take Yun Jiang.
Yun Jiang let go of the silver plate in his hand and burst into tears. But she didn't plead, just calmly knelt in the snow and kowtowed, "Lord Lang cherishes." ”
"Slow down!" Seeing this scene, Yu Jin turned around and followed Yuwentai inside. When he turned around, he glanced at Zhao Gui and gestured with his eyes, and at the same time pointed outside.
Zhao Gui understood and went out.
Yu Wentai had already walked back to the edge of the couch and sat down, he had a splitting headache at this time.
"The lord treats him generously and never wants to be angry with others, so why should he be angry with a servant girl?" Yu Jin slowly persuaded.
"Cane to death!" Yuwentai became willful.
"Has the lord forgotten Mr. Su's words?" Yu Jin looked at Yu Wentai, he had his own tricks.
At the mention of Su Sui, Yu Wentai was stunned and looked at Yu Jin.
Yu Jin Zhenzhen said, "Shouldn't the lord set an example for governing the mind and body?" ”
This is indeed what Su Xuan said, pure heart and self-cultivation make the heart and temperament good in order to be virtuous. The heart is clear, the will is quiet, and the body of the superior is self-proven, and the people are not obedient?
Yu Wentai was dumbfounded. But after all, he is a person with super self-discipline, and after a moment of silence, he finally turned around, and said lightly, "Twenty rods, give a small punishment." ”
Yu Jin knew that he was already very restrained, and since he had been self-disciplined, he also wanted to let him take advantage of this matter to get out of his chest. Besides, it is not a big deal to punish a slave and maid who is really wrong, so I will no longer persuade him.
After a while, Zhao Gui came in, walked to Yuwentai's side and whispered, "Master, this slave is to see that you are not looking good, and send hot soup to warm the lord's spleen and stomach." ”
"Did she say that?" Yu Wentai immediately asked.
She didn't say anything. It was said by other slaves. Zhao Gui replied.
"It's my momentary gaffe." Yu Wentai leaned back into his seat. He frowned and rubbed his temples in hopes of relieving the headache, and said, "I'm in a hurry." Mr. Su's words are good words and a long-term peace and stability strategy, but at the moment, it is necessary to make a surprise move to achieve immediate results. Could it really be that you are really waiting for Gao Cheng's shaft to knock on the door? If you want to live with the people's livelihood, and you can't invest in the military state, how can you have both? You have to think of a way. ”
Seeing that he finally spit out the truth in his heart, Yu Jin also persuaded, "Don't be too anxious, lord." Now that the lord trusts the lord and is willing to take the lord first, it is really rare for the clan and the Xianbei old clan to return to their hearts, even the Yecheng Gao clan may not be able to do so. There's always a way. ”
Zhao Gui also agreed, "My lord, what the hussar general said is extremely true. Anyway, I'm going to take this opportunity to pull them all in. ”
Yu Wentai's mind flashed, but he didn't say anything more.
Jiangnan and Jiangbei are generally the same, and in late spring, they are full of flowers and green leaves. The long winter in Yecheng has passed, and after an extremely difficult spring, it has finally become vibrant. Reminiscent of the early spring in the south of the Yangtze River, Yang Shunhua felt that the months of living in the Wei Palace in Yedu were too painful. She suddenly understood her father's thoughts about Yang Kan, the general of the year, returning to the south. Yes, Jiangnan and Jiangbei are different, where is the root, and they can't escape fate after all.
For several months, he seemed to be imprisoned in the Yedu Wei Palace, although it was better to say that he was a guest house, but in fact he was confined to this world and lost his freedom. In a blink of an eye, spring is approaching, and Yang Shunhua stands on the edge of the pickaxe pond and looks at the sinking blue water, reflecting his own shadow in the water.
Because the trees on the edge of the pickaxe pond are full of green leaves and shade at this time, the water of the pond is also blue. Her shadow was alone, lonely in the water. Yang Shunhua looked at herself in the water and frowned in thought. She had been living in the Wei Palace for several months, and she had spent every moment on vigilance. The most important thing in her heart is to protect Princess Liyang, and she has to be cautious when she is in a foreign country.
In the trees in the distance behind Yang Shunhua, Emperor Wei Yuan walked over with a good view. His eyes have always stayed on Xiao Qiongju, the princess of Liyang, who is leaning against the fence at the height of Zhaotai Guan. Because he was so engrossed, he didn't feel a trip, but fortunately, Lin Xingren, a regular attendant among the eunuchs behind him, helped him.
"Your Majesty, be careful." Lin Xingren said that he was holding the emperor, but in fact, it was better to say that he was holding him.
Yuan Shanjian finally withdrew his gaze from afar, and looked back at Lin Xingren, "What do you mean?" ”
"Your Majesty." Lin Xingren's voice was a little heavy. "Your Majesty shouldn't be like that." He looked up into the distance and retracted his gaze, "The son of King Qinghe can, but the emperor of Great Wei cannot." ”
Yuan Shanjian didn't say anything and looked at Lin Xingren.
In the Yedu Wei Palace, which was cold and unfamiliar to him, Lin Xingren could even be said to be his only reliance. Lin Xingren was older than him, the one who had served him for many years, and the only one who accompanied him from the Qinghe Mansion to the palace.
Lin Xingren's eyes were dark and full of deep melancholy, and at this moment, he was looking at Emperor Yuan Shanjian, who was also a master and friend to him, with these melancholy eyes.
"Lonely...... There is nothing else to think of but ...... is a pitiful person with her, but she is just a sympathetic person with the same disease and a mistake to give birth to the emperor's family. Why do you have to stop Lonely? Yuan Shanjian's voice was low. I suddenly remembered the happy days in Qinghe Palace, and I was afraid that they would be gone forever.
"What does Your Majesty think about kissing?" Lin Xingren asked.
"Do you have to think about it alone? Is this Great Wei's world really alone? I'm afraid that Emperor Liang doesn't necessarily want to marry the princess to Lone, right? Yuan Shan became sad when he saw it.
Lin Xingren looked at the emperor in front of him, the former prince of Qinghe. The son of the world is a first-class person in terms of appearance and talent, and he is a first-class person in his essay on martial arts. It's just that the former son was always happy, but the current emperor is extremely depressed.
"Your Majesty, forgive the ministers for saying a rude word in private. Whether to be friendly or not is a matter for the community, not for His Majesty. Harmony is the sum of the south and the north, Liang and Wei, and it is natural to have benefits with the Great Wei to make peace. As for who is close to whom, who marries and who marries, Your Majesty doesn't have to care about it at all. Lin Xingren looked at Yuan Shanjian as he spoke, and finally said boldly, "Your Majesty's family affairs, who to appoint as the queen, is Your Majesty's family affairs, it does not have to be beneficial to Great Wei, but it must be beneficial to Your Majesty." Your Majesty doesn't see King Gao's cruelty to Emperor Xianzhiliezong and King Anding? But he is patient with the emperor? ”
Emperor Liezong refers to Yuan Gong, and the little emperor brought by Gao Huan from Xindu, also known as the King of Anding, was killed by Gao Huan under the pagoda of Yongning Temple in Luoyang. Lin Xingren said that Gao Huan killed the two emperors of Yuan Gong and Yuen Long without moving and changing his color, and he was tolerant of Yuan Xiu who went west, because Gao Changjun, the queen of Yuan Xiu, was Gao Huan's daughter and Gao Cheng's eldest sister. This is Lin Xingren's little insight, which sounds reasonable. It's just that he didn't know that Gao Huan before Luoyang wanted to sweep away all obstacles and reach the peak of power. And Gao Huan, who has reached the top, wants to convince people, he must pay attention to courtesy, thoughtfulness, and loyalty. After all, Gao Huan is not Er Zhurong and the like.
"Your Majesty, King Gao's second son, Taiyuan Gongyang, has a twin sister......" Lin Xingren didn't say any further.
Yuan Shanjian turned his head to look at Zhaotai again. Without saying a word, he walked out of the woods.
Lin Xinren sighed slightly in his heart and followed. He knows Shizi's temper too well. He was not willing to help the prince make such a decision, but he must protect him as much as he could.
Yang Shunhua suddenly saw another shadow next to her in the pond, and her eyes were sharp, and she saw at a glance that it was Emperor Wei's chamberlain, and Fang breathed a sigh of relief. She has always been silent and silent in the Wei Palace, and she hardly said a few words to this eunuch named Lin Xingren. And always saw Emperor Wei when he came to the garden to visit Princess Liyang intentionally or unintentionally. At that time, the two of them had their own thoughts in their hearts, each guarding the people they cared about, and they didn't have the heart to chat a few words at all.
Yang Shunhua turned around, Yuan Shanjian had already walked in front of her, and before she could salute, Yuan Shanjian had already walked to the bridge on the shore leading to Zhaotai in the center of the pool.
Lin Xingren looked around, and was relieved when he didn't see any suspicious people. Suddenly, he said to Yang Shunhua, "Can the lady get used to living in Yedu?" ”
Yang Shunhua was stunned, but she didn't expect Lin Xingren to take the initiative to talk to her. reacted, and replied lightly, "How about getting used to it, and what about not getting used to it?" She suddenly remembered what Gao Cheng had said to her a few months ago. Was he really going to keep her here? But she barely saw him in the months.
"I heard that the lady's father, General Liang Guoda, also returned to Liang from the Northern Dynasty Wei State?" Lin Xingren asked intentionally or unintentionally.
Yang Shunhua didn't know why he had such a question, just regarded it as his casual gossip, but it caused her a little disgust, and said coldly, "The Yang clan has always been from the Southern Dynasties. ”
Lin Xingren saw that she was unhappy, so he didn't dare to talk to her again. His original intention was just to find every opportunity to find someone who was beneficial to the son. If it doesn't turn out to be a grudge, then you can't do it. What made his heart tremble even more was that when he turned his head and saw a person coming from afar, his heart suddenly became cold.
