Chapter 363: The Longest Night (1)
Malanqiao riots?
Yu Yin really can't remember clearly, whether there was such a riot in the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty. Come on,.!
Since Huizong ascended the throne, the riots and uprisings of the people in the Northern Song Dynasty have occurred one after another, including Song Jiang, and the 36 giant thieves of Jingdong are also one of them.
But the problem is that the riots in Malanqiao Town are a bit too coincidental.
The time of its riot happened to be when the situation was at its worst, which made Yuyin have to have doubts in his heart.
"Does Yanai know why there is a riot in Malanqiao Town?"
"It's not very clear, it seems that because of the rebellion of the displaced people, the local government mishandled it, so that there was a riot."
Gao Yaoqing's expression was relaxed, and he said with a smile: "Xiao Yi doesn't have to worry, if you think about those mobs, you won't make any trouble." With Zhang Bofen and Yao Pingzhong out to quell the chaos, the riots can be determined every day, so there is no need to worry too much. β
That's the same thing!
Whether it is Zhang Bofen or Yao Pingzhong, they are all behind the gate.
In terms of ability, these two are not too bad. Even if Yao Pingzhong had to flee to the mountains due to the failure of the sneak attack on Mu Huogang in history, he was indeed not an idle person. These two people are also experienced masters, and most of the guards under them have experienced the battle of Kaifeng, and they are by no means those unarmed mobs can resist.
But for some reason, Yu Yin always felt a little uneasy.
After chatting with Gao Yaoqing on the tower of Kaibao Temple for a while, Zhu Xuan came.
Seeing Yu Yin, Zhu Xuan was also surprised, "Xiao Yi, why did you come back?" β
He stepped forward and grabbed Yu Yin's arm, "Your letter, I only delivered it to the East Palace yesterday, and it is estimated that even if the little brother recruits you to return to Beijing, the will may not come out in a few days." You have come back at this time, but you have not been called. If someone finds out, it will inevitably cause great trouble. Before anyone discovers your hiding. Xiao Yi should get out of here as soon as possible. β
Zhu Xuan said very politely, but it revealed a strong sense of concern.
Yu Yin's heart warmed, patted Zhu Xuan's hand, and said softly, "I want to see little brother." β
"Huh?"
"Earlier, I intercepted the news that the thieves wanted to harm the officials.
So I rushed back in the starry night, but when I returned to Kaifeng, I found that the situation was even worse...... I would like to ask Twenty-six Lang to convey it to the little brother on his behalf. Let's just say that I have 100,000 urgent things, and I want to inform my little brother and ask him to try to see me once, can you? β
Zhu Xuan, silent!
Gao Yaoqing said angrily on the side: "Twenty-six Lang is not happy, but please go through it, how can you swallow and vomit?" β
When Zhu Xuan heard this, she couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"How can Yanai say it, how can he be the kind of unrighteous person in his own house?
It's not that I don't want to be a good friend of Xiao Yi. But I can't see my brother at home...... The official family prepared to worship the heavens on Xitai Mountain on February 2, and the little brother and the saint began fasting three days ago. Don't talk about me, it's not easy to see even the eighteenth sister. β
February 2nd, February 2nd again!
When Yu Yin heard this, he couldn't help frowning and fell into deep thought.
Zhao Huan's sacrifice on the second day of February is indeed a major event.
As the crown prince, Zhao Chen's fasting is also reasonable, but it spoils Yuyin's big thing.
"So, the eighteenth sister can still see the prince?"
Zhu Xuan said: "The eighteen sisters can enter and exit the forbidden school freely. Naturally, you can see it.
However, it is also inconvenient for her to enter and leave the palace frequently, and yesterday she handed Xiao Yi's letter to the forbidden middle school, which is the credit of the eighteenth sister. β
Yu Yin, it's silent!
He didn't know how to explain to Zhu Xuan. Hesitant for a moment.
After a while, he asked softly: "Yanei, where is the princess now?" β
"Mrs. Wang has been staying at home, but there is nothing wrong."
"Yanai immediately walked away. Let Thirteen Lang try to contact Wang Niangzi and order her to enter the palace to be on duty. β
"Huh?"
"Just let her ...... Stay in the palace of Emperor Johor. β
After Wang Yange and Gao Chong got married, they did not continue to stay by Zhao Duofu's side.
There are many reasons!
First, she didn't want to stay in the palace, she always felt that there were too many constraints; Second, during the Battle of Chenqiao, Wang Yange ran to Chenqiao with Zhao Duofu and Zhao Chen, almost worrying about his life. Although Zhao Huan didn't ask Brother Wang Yan later, he was a little dissatisfied after all. Zhu Lian didn't want Wang Yange to stay in the forbidden...... With such a strong tigress here, God knows what trouble Zhao Duofu will cause, which is really reassuring.
The crown prince stayed in the palace, and it stands to reason that it was very safe.
But Yuyin had a premonition that even in the palace, there would be danger.
Wang Yange is strong in martial arts, and Zhao Duofu is also much more mature and stable after experiencing the Battle of Chenqiao. When the two are together, they can at least have one more guarantee.
However, Wang Yange alone, I'm afraid it's not enough.
After thinking about it, Yu Yin said again: "In addition, let Zhang Lintao and Li Xiaocui enter the city, I have something to order." β
Li Xiaocui is proficient in poison and secret weapons, and has unpredictable abilities.
Let her enter the palace can also add a guarantee. It's just that it is easier for Wang Yange to enter the forbidden middle, but when Li Xiaocui enters the palace, someone must help him. Let Zhu Xuan bring Li Xiaocui into the palace? I'm afraid it's a bit difficult.
Yu Yin You pondered for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Emperor Maode, are you okay now?" β
Zhu Xuan was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Why doesn't Xiao Yi know?" β
"What do I know?"
"Emperor Maude, a few months ago, she was already a monk!"
"Huh?"
This was really an unexpected thing for Yu Yin. Emperor Maode, Zhao Fujin, how did he become a monk?
Zhu Xuan said: "After Cai Ying's death, the official family had the intention of asking Emperor Maode to return to the palace.
But Emperor Ji disagreed, and even had several disputes with the official family. In the winter of last year, it may be that the official family was forced to be ruthless, and the emperor became a nun in a fit of anger. The official family was also angry about this, so they no longer paid attention to the matter of the emperor. β
During the Northern Song Dynasty, although women were subject to various constraints, on the whole, they were quite free.
At that time, it was quite normal for women to remarry, and when their husbands died, they remarried others, and no one said anything wrong. Zhao Fujin married Cai Yan back then, and to put it bluntly, it was also a political marriage. She and Cai Yan have no children, and after Cai Ying's death, Zhao Fujin will not cause criticism even if he marries. Presumably Zhao Huan wanted to use Zhao Fujin's marriage to make a political exchange, which angered Zhao Fujin, so that he finally became a nun and tore his face with Zhao Huan. to fight against her......
Things in the palace compound are the dirtiest.
As a child of the royal family, although he enjoys the glory and wealth that ordinary people can't enjoy, there are also many things that he can't help himself.
However, a monk like Zhao Fujin became a nun, but it was the first time since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty.
In Yu Yin's mind, that beautiful face appeared again. I couldn't help but sigh softly.
"Diji, where did you become a monk?"
Zhu Xuan's gaze was a little weird, and Yu Yin was a little at a loss.
"Twenty-six Lang, why do you look at me like this?
Since his family left Beijing last year, he has been busy with military affairs. Later, when he came to Yanshan, he fought viciously with the thieves repeatedly, and he didn't know much about what happened in the Jingshi. Why, does the emperor's ordination still have anything to do with me? It's a bit strange to ask. β
Zhu Xuan smiled.
"Teiki. He became a monk in Kannon Temple. β
"Huh?"
Not only Yu Yin was taken aback, but also Gao Yaoqing, who felt a little strange.
This Kaifeng house. There are countless temples. Although it is not as grand as the 480 temples of the Southern Dynasty, there are as many as 100 temples of all sizes. Zhao Fujin is not good at becoming a monk, so he chose Guanyin Academy. Fortunately, Yuyin and Zhao Fujin did not have much contact...... At least in the eyes of the people, Yu Yin and Zhao Fujin are walking on two parallel lines, and there is no intersection at all. As for privately, although the two have contact, they know very little, almost nothing.
Yu Yinqiang smiled: "What about being a monk in Guanyin Academy." That's the good feng shui of Guanyin Temple, but it has nothing to do with your own home. β
But in my heart, there were turbulent waves.
Zhao Fujin became a monk in Guanyin Temple, does it really have nothing to do with him?
At least in Yuyin's mind, it should have something to do with him......
Zhu Xuan said: "I know it too." The emperor's ordination in Guanyin Courtyard has nothing to do with Xiaoyi, but first Li Niangzi became a monk in Guanyin Academy, and now there is Emperor Ji going. Guanyin Temple is now no better than before, and it is already a first-class temple in Kaifeng Prefecture. β
"Oh!"
Yu Yin answered, but did not continue to talk.
Think about it too. A glamorous Master Li is enough to make Guanyin Academy famous. Now there is another emperor, and it is difficult for this Guanyin Temple to be famous. Yu Yin Xuan even understood the meaning of Zhu Xuan's words.
Since Guanyin Academy is famous, it is very difficult to secretly contact Zhao Fujin.
Thinking of this, Yu Yin couldn't help frowning.
"Let me think about this again.
Brother Wang Yan's affairs with Wang Niangzi, please ask Twenty-six Lang to bother. In short, I must inform my brother about my return to Tokyo as soon as possible, otherwise it will be a trouble after all. Twenty-six Lang, it is inconvenient for me to come forward now, if there is any matter, please contact Yanai. He knows where to find me and will let me know as soon as he has news. β
Zhu Xuan, Gao Yaoqing, Yu Yin......
These three people are now like grasshoppers on a line, and they can't get rid of the relationship at all.
Zhu Xuan didn't hesitate any longer, so he nodded in agreement.
The three of them talked on the tower for a while, then went down to the Kaibao Temple Tower and went their separate ways.
Not to mention Gao Yaoqing and Zhu Xuan's actions, just talk about Yuyin.
He got into the carriage and let Lu Zhishi drive the cart. When the carriage drove into the old sour jujube gate, he suddenly changed his mind and asked Lu Zhishi to drive the carriage to Li Bao's house. After a long conversation with Li Bao, Yu Yin hurriedly returned to his residence in Xiucai Lane.
That night, Yelu Yu Liyan came to Yuyin's residence.
"My uncle said that today's peace negotiations were quite smooth, and Yan Ying and Wu Min were not as tough as before, and they eased up.
It seems that this two-day effort will be a meeting and a success...... I heard from my uncle that your old Zhao official's family is going to hold a banquet in Zichen Hall the day after tomorrow. However, he would personally sign the peace covenant at the Pojin Building in Jinmyeongchi to show his merits.
The uncle was going to leave Tokyo on the same day, so the old Zhao Guan's family would inevitably be angry, and it was even possible to raise troops again. After that, Yan Wu begged to buy the intention to save the situation, and there was not enough time. When the time comes, it will be difficult to reconsider. β
What is it called?
Is there a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle?
Zhao Huan doesn't want to fight anymore now, but if Yelu Yu sees the disappearance that day, it will inevitably make Zhao Huan lose face and even anger the Jurchen. At that time, Song Jin's peace talks will be empty words, and if it is not done well, the two sides are likely to go to war again.
If the Song and Jin Dynasty went to war, the living space of Western Liao in Mobei would inevitably increase greatly.
Yelu Yu saw that it was a good calculation, and withdrew, but he left a mess with Zhao Huan and Wanyan Wu to buy two people......
From the heart, though. Yu Yin was not disgusted.
It is best to destroy the Jurchens, after all, he does not have a good impression of the Jurchens.
If the Jin State is destroyed, the situation that the Great Song Dynasty has faced since its founding will be greatly alleviated from being surrounded by enemies. Although this will give Xiliao a chance to breathe. But Xiliao is in Mobei, and there is still a mess of things in his body. When Yelu Yujian gained a firm foothold in Mobei, it was impossible to give the Great Song Dynasty too many threats. It seems like a good thing.
Thinking of this, Yu Yin nodded.
"When the time comes...... Swallow, what do you do? β
"Me?"
Yu Liyan looked at Yu Yin and did not speak.
Yu Yin can't wait to give herself a slap in the face, Yu Liyan even gave up the position of queen, and left her hometown to come to Kaifeng, what else can she do?
He couldn't help but stretch out his hand and grasp Yu Liyan's soft.
"Stay, if you want.
Although I already have a wife, I can also give you a name. may have wronged you. But I promise you'll be happy. β
In his bright eyes, tears glistened.
Yu Liyan did not agree. There was no objection, just looked at Yu Yin and didn't say a word.
This is the time when silence is better than sound!
Yu Yin took a deep breath and was about to reach out to hold Yu Liyan in his arms, but he heard a knock on the door, Yu Liyan was like a frightened rabbit, brushed back a few steps, and then said softly: "Someone is coming!" β
In my heart, I couldn't stop cursing in a low voice.
Yu Yin walked to the door and looked back to see Yu Liyan go up to the attic. And he opened the door.
Li Bao stood outside the door, saw Yuyin open the door, and hurriedly bowed his hand, "Lang Jun, I have already inquired clearly." β
Yu Yin turned sideways. Let Li Bao into the house.
"How's it going?"
After Xiao Di was instructed, he asked people to go to Guanyin Lane to find out the truth.
As Lang Jun guessed, there are many idle and suspicious people in Guanyin Lane...... Looking like that, it seems to be monitoring Lang Jun's house. Because of Langjun's orders, it is not easy to startle the snake. Therefore, after figuring it out, he rushed to find out with Lang Jun. β
Well, that's right!
Yu Yin nodded lightly......
The prince's army is a big killer in Zhao Huan's hands, so Yu Yin, who is under the control of the prince's army, will naturally attract much attention. On the surface, he is far away in Suning Village, but those people will not relax their surveillance of him because of this.
After pondering for a moment, Yu Yin looked at Li Bao and said, "Sect Leader Li, can you eradicate those ears and eyes tomorrow night, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know?" β
Li Bao smiled, and his face showed a fierce color.
"As long as Lang Jun gives an order, Xiao Di will promise that those guys will not be able to see the sun."
"Hmm!"
Yu Yin let out a long breath.
Early the next morning, Zhang Lintao and Li Xiaocui came to Xiucai Lane.
Yuyin explained his idea to the couple, but Li Xiaocui did not refuse, but showed a trace of curiosity.
It is no wonder that although she is a well-known dominatrix in the rivers and lakes, she has never entered the palace compound, let alone seen the life of those royal nobles. Now that I have the opportunity to go around the palace, I naturally won't refuse.
However, Zhang Lintao was a little reluctant, "Lang Jun, if you enter the palace, can you still come out?" β
Yu Yin smiled dumbly, "It will naturally come out."
As long as this turmoil passes, Xiaocui will be a free man. Of course, if she wants to stay in the palace, that's another story. β
When Zhang Lintao heard this, he looked at Li Xiaocui.
That pitiful appearance made Yu Yin couldn't help laughing.
Unexpectedly, this famous Shenxing Taibao on the rivers and lakes still has such a face.
Li Xiaocui scolded, "What a nerd!" β
Zhang Lintao smiled and scratched his head with a naΓ―ve face......
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
After dark, Yu Yin took Yu Liyan, Zhang Lintao, and Li Xiaocui out of Xiucai Lane.
changed into a small hat in a green coat, and joined Liu Qing, who had been waiting for him for a long time. Liu Qing took dozens of family members and went straight to Guanyin Lane. As a wealthy man in Kaifeng Prefecture, the business cooperation between Yuyin and Liu Qing is not a secret. It is also normal for Liu Qing to come to the Jade Mansion to visit. Yuyin is not here, and it is reasonable to be a friend's visit.
But no one thought that Yu Yin would be mixed with these people.
When he appeared in front of Yan Nu and Yang Jinlian, he really surprised the two.
"Husband, you ......"
Yu Yin made a silent movement, "Sister Jiu'er, Jin Lian, this matter is a long story, let me explain it to you in the future."
Now, listen to me, all of you.
Later, Jin Lian took the two children and left with Liu Daguan.
After finding the second sister Zhang and his wife, the thirteenth Lang A-Niang and Mrs. Xu cherished the Xu Niangzi, they went out of the city overnight, although the Liu officials went to Zhang Sange's Zhuangzi to stay temporarily, waiting for my news. Swallow, you take the resentful brothers and protect them. β
As soon as the words came out, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn.
Zhou Yannu is no longer the woman who didn't understand anything at the beginning, and when she heard Yuyin's words, she knew that something big was going to happen.
Although Yu Liyan was a little reluctant, she knew that her identity was indeed not suitable for participating in the matter in front of her.
She is a Liao person, although she has broken away from the Western Liao, she has always been a Liao person. A Liao person's participation in the affairs of the Song people will make what was originally very simple become very complicated. Moreover, Yuyin is tantamount to handing over the family to her for protection, this trust is enough to make Yu Liyan satisfied, although there are some regrets, there is no objection.
It's just that Yang Jinlian still doesn't know what happened.
But looking at everyone's faces, it's more troublesome to think about.
Although she is not familiar with the world, she also knows that Yu Yin should not appear in Kaifeng Mansion at this time.
Since Yuyin appeared at home, something big must have happened......
Immediately, Yu Yin took out another letter and a Buddhist card. The so-called Buddha card, also known as the degree of the Buddha, is a symbol of the status of the monks. However, the Buddha card in Yu Yin's hand is not trivial, it is the Buddha card of Chen Xizhen, the abbot of Shaolin Temple.
Previously, Yu Yin had borrowed twenty warrior monks from Chen Xizhen to practice in a monastery not far from the East Palace.
With this card, you can send those twenty warrior monks.
Yu Yin handed over the Buddha card and the letter to Zhang Lintao, and asked him to find the twenty warrior monks to garrison Zhang San Mazi's villa to protect the safety of Yang Jinlian and others. After all, Yu Liyan and Ren Yan are still a little weak.
"Then you rushed to Luguan Town in the starry night and handed over this letter to Yao Pingzhong."
Yu Yin really didn't know how to persuade Yao Pingzhong, because everything was just a conjecture on his part.
"Tell Yao Pingzhong, just say how to decide, it's up to him to choose.
If you want to return to Beijing, you must return it the day after tomorrow, that is, before the first day of February......"
That's all that seems to be possible.
Zhang Lintao took the order and left, and on the other side, Yang Jinlian had already packed her things, held her two daughters, and boarded the carriage with Liu Qing.
"Xiao Yi, what should we do now?"
Yu Yin glanced at Yan Nu, "Bring the green bamboo gun and go with me to the Guanyin Courtyard to meet Emperor Maode!" (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
