The tea room is a little quieter.

I could only hear the sound of swallowing tea, and after a while, Shen Wuyan threw the teacup on the table and said in a deep voice: "Do you think that Gao Gong will return to his hometown to retire now?" ”

As soon as the words came out, Li He immediately laughed, and even Princess Ning'an, who had a tense face, burst out laughing.

Shen Wuyan smiled and said: "Gao Ge Lao is more energetic than anyone else, and he watches more twists and turns every day than he eats, he is indeed a hard-working old man...... Therefore, there are more than ten years left to return to the hometown for retirement. ”

"More than 10 years...... It's been too long. Li He said this, glanced at Princess Ning'an, who was silent, and sighed: "I've been waiting too long, let's stop this time." ”

Shen Wuyan nodded solemnly, and responded: "Gao Gong, this person is in the court, in fact, there is no difference......

"Mr. Shen is guilty?" Princess Ning'an, who had been silent because she had been scolded by Shen Wuyan before, couldn't help but mock at this time.

Shen Wuyan couldn't help glaring at Princess Ning'an, and said lightly: "You are ignorant except for idiots...... How about talking less? ”

Just as Duke Ning An was about to defend herself, Li He hurriedly stopped her and said softly: "Gao Ge Lao is indeed a capable minister...... If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have to do the same. ”

Seeing that Li He also defended Gao Gong, Princess Ning An was already indignant in her heart, so she immediately flicked her sleeves and turned to leave.

Shen Wuyan still maintained a smile on his face, and it wasn't until Princess Ning'an disappeared into the darkness that he slowly got up and hugged his fist towards Li Heyi, saying, "Brother Li is kind-hearted...... Why do you need to wade into this troubled water......"

Li He was suddenly shocked, hurriedly got up, and said in surprise: "Mr. Shen, this is ...... Sit down, sit down and say......"

Shen Wuyan sighed deeply, and said helplessly: "Although Your Majesty is in power today, he is not a mediocre person, and the country's strength has recovered slightly in the past two years...... Most of the horses didn't want to watch the battle. ”

Li He nodded slightly, tightly held the jade pendant in his hand a little tighter, and was silent for a moment before saying, "The princess and I are married to each other...... So I can't leave her after all. ”

Shen Wuyan snorted lightly and sneered, "You married her wife." Did she ever think of you...... By doing so, you are dying...... I forced her away just to get you a word, do you really want to do this? ”

Li He was so smart, how could he not understand what Shen Wuyan meant to do before, and after being silent for a long time, he nodded slightly. He said, "If she wants to die, I will accompany her to die." ”

Shen Wuyan nodded. Said: "Brother Li's family still has a family in Suzhou......

Li He laughed miserably and sighed: "Both parents died when I was a child...... But there is no successor to this day...... I really don't know how to deal with my dead parents. ”

Shen Wuyan slowly got up and patted Li He on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "This matter is still considered in the long run...... Brother Li doesn't need to worry too much, everything is still negotiable. ”

Li He shook his head with a wry smile and sighed: "The princess's mother was executed by the first emperor Ling Chi...... The princess hated this royal family to the core, especially His Majesty...... Because it was his mother who made all this...... Actually, I don't care about the throne with her, but ......"

"I understand...... The enmity of parents is greater than the sky. Shen Wuyan shook his head helplessly and said, "Miss Wu's side is indeed planning ...... But also because she stayed over there. It's a nuisance to you. ”

"Trouble?" Li He's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Miss Feiwu wants to betray us." ”

Shen Wuyan nodded solemnly and said, "Wang Tian, you must know ...... He had been in contact with Maiden Wu a few times, and he was probably sure that she had the intention of selling the horse and the princess...... After all, if you follow Your Majesty, you will get more after all. “

Li He didn't fully believe Shen Wuyan's words, but what the other party said did make sense. Muto Lan is naturally not stupid, and naturally knows that it is dangerous to conspire with the princess. It's better to follow the emperor safely.

Now she is extremely favored with the emperor, if she assassinates the emperor at the will of the princess, if it does, she will murder the emperor, it will be a dead end. If it doesn't work, it's a dead end.

Li He sighed lightly. muttered, "No wonder the princess wanted to see her before...... She has repeatedly prevaricated, and she thinks that she has weighed the pros and cons......"

Shen Wuyan nodded, and continued: "A woman like this can weigh the pros and cons...... Can't the colt weigh it? ”

Li He got up and bowed to Shen Wuyan, and said with a smile: "Mr. Shen doesn't need to persuade ...... ...... mind has been decided"

With a slight sigh, Shen Wuyan got up and returned the salute, so he didn't say anything more. Head out the door.

Li He was left alone in the tearoom staring at the moonlit night and starry sky, under this dark sky, he felt a little depressed, just like Shen Wuyan said, how could he not understand the trade-off.

Now that the country and the people are safe, if you want to rebel, it is really a dead end, and you are talking about the assassination of Your Majesty. Even if it succeeds, he and his wife will inevitably die, and the emperor's throne will definitely be inherited by the crown prince.

The court was soon able to find out that the mastermind came from the Horse Mansion, and the most favored princess of Ning'an, who was the most favored back then, could not escape death, as for the concubine Li He, the result was already decided.

To put it more widely, even if Kinoshita Toyoshiro on the side of the Wa Kingdom can give some help, but with the current strength of the Wa Kingdom, it is impossible to shake the Ming Dynasty at all. The so-called help is really not worth mentioning.

Now that Qi Jiguang is guarding the land of Gyeonggi, the Wa Kingdom naturally knows how to get more benefits, and after sending the Wu Girl, the Wa State has dispelled the plan to become an enemy of the Ming Dynasty.

So much so that after Kinoshita Toyoshiro left, there is still no correspondence with the Horse Mansion, no matter how the princess deceives herself, saying that the Wa Kingdom is too far away from the Ming Dynasty and the two countries, and it is inconvenient to exchange letters, but this fact cannot be denied.

Besides, Princess Ning'an's side is not up to the past, and now in the court, in addition to the people who are high-arched, there are some officials who do not want to get involved in right and wrong, but as for the palace, they no longer have the same advantages as they did back then.

It can even be said that since the moment Muto Lan was pushed into the well by Meng Chong, Princess Ning'an was defeated.

Today's Princess Ning'an is not even as good as Shen Wuyan, she does not have the accumulation of a harem like Shen Wuyan, let alone the prestige among the hundred officials, and she does not have the wealth of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and even Liaodong.

This seemingly peaceful scholar actually has great potential.

On the one hand, the emperor gradually alienated Gao Gong, and on the other hand, he condensed the business from Liaodong to Jiangsu and Zhejiang and even extended its tentacles to all parts of the Ming Dynasty, and used this silver to befriend every official.

Shen Wuyan's intelligence lies in the fact that these have never fallen on those real officials, but have been handed over to many officials of the lower five grades, such as the bottom of the six subordinates, and the important positions of the twelve divisions, but the official position is not high.

There are also Dongchang Jinyi Guards, and even the side details of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but there are also good friends.

These people don't seem to have any power for a while, but once they start an incident, they will instantly submerge Gao Gong, and Gao Gong will not even have the strength to fight back at that time.

What's more, Shen Wuyan relied on the name of a talented man, and his famous poems and articles were circulated throughout the Ming Dynasty, and countless literati admired him for a long time, including many who were about to enter the officialdom.

In such a comparison, the Horse Mansion seems to be a lonely person, and the reason why the other party came over today is really to give himself a chance to quit.

Li He looked up to the sky and sighed to himself: "This is probably although tens of millions of people are gone? ”

As soon as he said this, he burst out laughing again, and the laughter was full of mockery, as if he was laughing at himself, but as if he was laughing at what was beside him, in short, it was extremely complicated.

……

After walking out of the Horse Mansion, Shen Wuyan remembered the agreement he had made with Li Wan'er when he left home early in the morning, so he hurriedly drove the carriage towards the small courtyard.

It was getting late, so there weren't too many people on the road, so the carriage could move a little faster.

There was a slight sense of slaughter in the night, and this feeling lasted until the entrance of West Chang'an Street.

The carriage was speeding above the market, and Shen Wuyan looked at the street in the distance, and suddenly saw a white shadow floating out, standing not far in front of the road.

Shen Wuyan snorted lightly, and shouted in a deep voice: "Who pretends to be a ghost......

The white shadow did not respond, and it was not until Shen Wuyan tightened the carriage and parked the carriage not far from the white shadow that he saw the other party clearly, but it was a man without a right arm.

It is also a little inaccurate to say that it is a man, although the man is dressed as a man, but he is wearing bright makeup, which makes people look shocked.

But Shen Wuyan was not the slightest surprised, he looked at the man and snorted softly: "You dead lady, why are you staying here in the way?" ”

The man smiled, his voice was very sharp, it was as uncomfortable as his fingers sliding on the smooth jade wall, he bowed slightly towards Shen Wuyan, and said lightly, "I've seen Mr. Shen." ”

Shen Wuyan immediately returned the salute and said in a deep voice: "Oriental girl...... Oh no, no brothers, there's something going on today...... Another day? ”

Dongfang Buqun still just laughed, and after a while, he said loudly: "This revenge of the broken arm will be avenged sooner or later...... But today I came to ask Mr. Shen a few things. ”

Shen Wuyan was curious: "What's the matter?" ”

Dongfang Buqun sighed: "I was in that small inn that day...... I killed one and the other...... But I don't know who rescued it? ”

Shen Wuyan was stunned, then waved his hand and said, "An old man...... You're no match for him......"

"It was the one who rescued you at the Qingyang Inn back then...... Is it Shao Fang? Dongfang Buqun snorted lightly and said disdainfully: "Shao Fang, this kid...... Repeatedly hindered me...... I'm not going to keep my hand ...... again."

Shen Wuyan sneered and sneered: "You really don't know shame, if you lose, you lose, but you say that you keep your hands...... But I don't know what you're going to do this time? ”

"Kill you......" Dongfang Buqun smiled playfully, then turned away, the empty sleeve of his right arm fluttered as he walked, and he sang softly: "Zhao Keman Hu Ying, Wu Hook Shuang Xueming ......"
