Chapter Fifty-Seven: Temporary Victory
Coming out of the palace, Yuanhang did not return to the post station, but walked around the Houtang City, inquiring all the way to the Siwei Mansion.
The Captain's Mansion is not far from the palace, but it looks a little shabby, if it weren't for the gold plaque on the door, no one would have thought that this is the mansion of the first general of the Great Liang. came to the front of the house and asked the subordinates to report, and after a while, Situ Hao personally walked out of the house to welcome the voyage.
"Haha, Ye Junshou is here, and he is far away." Situ Haosan had just returned to the mansion, and the official mansion had not been replaced, so he walked out of the mansion with a smile.
"Excuse me, uncle." Yuanhang said with a bow. The dignified Liang Zuo Siwei greeted him in person, and he had already given himself enough face.
"Don't be polite, come into the house and talk." Situ Hao picked up the voyage and walked into the mansion side by side with him.
Coming to the hall, Situ Hao let the maid serve tea, pointed to the teacup, and said with a light smile: "Yuanhang, taste this, the high-grade purple tea of Yuelong Mountain, the best." ”
"Thank you, uncle." Yuanhang said with a slight bow. He picked up the cup and tasted it pretendically, but in fact, he could only drink more than water, and he didn't know if it was good or not.
"By the way, it will take a few days for the envoys to come and go this time, so you can live in my mansion." Situ Hao took a sip of tea and said.
"No, uncle. So as not to cause gossip. Yuanhang put down the teacup, and then said: "The little nephew came here this time for the sake of Li Long's family. ”
Situ Hao held the teacup and paused, looked at the voyage again, and said, "You really want to speak for them?" ”
"Uncle, that day I promised Li Long to keep his family safe." Yuanhang replied.
"Voyage, Li Long rebelled, and the crime was punished. On that day, you also used this plan to make him say the rest of the traitors, so why should you take it seriously? Situ Hao said indifferently and put the teacup on the table.
"Uncle, since the little nephew has promised, how can he not believe it? If so, would you be worthy of your own conscience? "Yuanhang is quite excited, this is a matter of human life, although he is not a gentleman, but he can't sit idly by.
Situ Hao saw Yuanhang like this, and said slowly: "You don't know, forgiving his family is not something you and I can do, only the emperor can." ”
"What?" Yuanhang was stunned there, thinking that it was just Situ Hao's words, but he didn't expect that the emperor needed to know.
"Yuanhang, don't mention it yet. Let me ask you, can the things in the temple today be true? Situ Hao stared at Yuanhang and asked.
Yuanhang pondered for a moment and replied, "Yes, I did go back to Jingzhou to get married. ”
Situ Hao's eyes widened and asked, "Since you have returned to Jingzhou, why do you still want to entangle with Na Du Zhiyuan, why don't you stop there, won't you ask for trouble." ”
"Uncle didn't know that Du Zhiyuan's son was beaten by me for molesting and being beaten by me, and he held a grudge. I thought that this matter would end there, but who knew that he was calculating step by step, and since this was the case, I took the opportunity to fight him. Yuanhang replied calmly.
"Looks like you're pretty sure, and I won't ask too much." Situ Hao continued: "Yuanhang, what do you think of Yizhou? ”
"I wonder what my uncle asked?" Yuanhang saw that Situ Hao suddenly mentioned Yizhou, and asked puzzledly.
"Yizhou is newly returned to the Great Liang and is in urgent need of good governance. I want you to go to Yizhou, I wonder if you can have confidence? Situ Hao asked.
"To Yizhou?" Yuanhang was surprised, do you want to go to Yizhou as an official by yourself?
"Well, Yizhou is rich in land and abundant in grain. It is the richest of all state capitals. It's just that I'm just coming back, and I'm afraid that people's hearts will be unstable. And adjacent to Guzhou, now Xiaoliang soldiers and horses are mostly gathered in Guzhou, if you go, I'm afraid that the burden is not light. Situ Hao stood up and paced around the room, saying, "But that's why you have this opportunity." ”
Yuanhang stood up and bowed and said, "Thank you uncle for your guidance to the little nephew, if you have this opportunity, the little nephew will live up to your uncle's expectations." ”
"There's no need to be polite, it's okay these days, so let's take a good stroll in the back hall." Situ Hao turned around and smiled.
"It's okay, the little nephew has retired first, and I'll come to visit my uncle another day." Seeing that the time was not early, the voyage got up and took his leave.
"It's never too late to finish lunch and leave." Situ Hao said.
"Don't bother my uncle, I'll come to my uncle's house for a few drinks another day." Yuanhang smiled and said goodbye.
Situ Hao didn't force him to stay, and sent the voyage out of the house with a few polite words.
Yuanhang walked back to the post station and saw Tang Ling walking back and forth anxiously at the door. Seeing that Yuanhang was coming back, he hurriedly ran over and said, "Young Master, why did you come back?" I'm in a hurry. ”
"Hehe, I'm not back, are I hungry?" Yuanhang asked Tang Ling with a smile.
"I'm hungry, and I'm more worried about the young master's safety." Tang Ling scratched his head embarrassedly.
"Let's go, the young master will take you for a walk." Yuanhang smiled and patted Tang Ling's head and said.
Yuanhang took Tang Ling to find a restaurant, and the two asked for a table of wine and food, and after eating, they went to wander around the city. Passing by the jewelry store, I remembered that Liqiu had said that I wanted to buy her jewelry, so I walked in. Carefully selected a pure blonde hairpin for the autumn phoenix Chaoyang. Tang Ling saw that it looked good, so he stepped forward and said to Yuanhang: "Young master, you can also buy me a hairpin, just silver." ”
Yuanhang turned his head to look at Tang Ling and asked, "Do you want a hairpin?" ”
"Well, I'd like to give one to Harutsuki." Tang Ling was a little embarrassed and smiled.
Yuanhang nodded and said, "Go pick it and buy a few more." Looking at Tang Lingle's appearance, he said in his heart: Tang Ling has also grown up.
After staying at the post station for a few days, a word came from the palace, summoning him to enter the palace tomorrow morning.
Standing on top of the main hall again, Yuanhang saw Zhan Hu standing among the hundred officials and nodded to him slightly.
Emperor Yin Wen looked at the hundred officials on the dragon chair and said, "Where is the envoy of Zhan? ”
Zhan Hu hurriedly stood up and replied, "The minister is here." ”
"Zhan Si has made the return of Qianling, can there be a conclusion?" Emperor Yin Wen asked.
"Back to the emperor, the minister has carefully inquired about the order of Tuyi County, Lu Zhi County once said, on the 20th Ye County to Tuyi County, to the 27th to return to Qianling. The existing testimony is here, please take a look at it. Zhan Hu took out the testimony from his sleeve, and his father-in-law took it and handed it over.
After Emperor Yin Wen saw it, he said to the hundred officials below: "This matter is already clear, Ye Junshou only went to Tuyi County to understand the people's situation, and did not leave the territory of Qianling. Let it pass. ”
"Your Majesty, Du Shoubei falsely accused the ministers, I don't know what crime to be guilty of?" Yuanhang stood up and asked.
Seeing that the voyage refused to give up, Emperor Yin Wen looked at Situ Hao and said, "Captain Zuo, what do you think it should be?" ”
Situ Hao stood up and said, "Your Majesty, as a courtier, you need to work together to be loyal to the emperor. Du Shoubei falsely accused Ye Junshou and should be punished. The minister thought that the official should be demoted by one level. ”
"Your Majesty, the minister has something to say." Situ Hao's voice fell, and Du Zhiyuan stood up in the back row and said to Emperor Yinwen.
"What do you have to say?" Emperor Yin Wen asked.
"Your Majesty, the order of Natuyi County is under the jurisdiction of Ye County, so naturally he will not tell the truth. The minister has a strategy to know whether Ye Junshou has returned to Jingzhou. Du Zhiyuan said.
"Is there any way you can find out?" Emperor Yin Wen asked curiously.
"Your Majesty, please send someone to recruit the second daughter of Yefu into the palace and light the palace sand for her, if this sand is still there after three days, the minister wishes to be demoted by one level." Du Zhiyuan saw that he had no way out of this matter, so he had to gamble once, and said in his heart that after all, he had lived in Ye Mansion for one night, and he would definitely have a room with one of them.
"Your Majesty can't." Yuanhang hurriedly stopped and said: "The two daughters are both waiting for the boudoir, so wouldn't it be shameful for them." ”
After the emperor was behind the emperor, Gonggong Chen saw that Yuanhang was so anxious, and decided that it must be a weak heart. stepped forward and said to Emperor Yin Wen: "Your Majesty, this is a good way, just try it, and you will see it." ”
"This ......," Emperor Yin Wen looked at the voyage.
"Your Majesty, although this plan is the next policy, the minister feels that only in this way can he conclude the dispute between Ye Junshou and Du Shou." A minister stepped forward and said. When he looked at it from afar, it turned out to be his boss Chen Minghao. Your grandmother's, the voyage kept it in mind.
"Ye Junshou, look at ......" Emperor Yin Wen is still partial to the voyage.
"Your Majesty, since everyone thinks that this is the case, the minister has nothing to say. I only asked the emperor to give a heavy reward after the second daughter verified her death, so as to reassure her heart. Yuanhang pretended to be helpless, but he was very happy in his heart, fortunately, he drank too much that night and touched the wrong bed, otherwise he would have been planted today.
"Good. Since Ye Junshou has agreed, he immediately recruited the second daughter into the palace. Emperor Yin Wen looked at Zhan Hu and said, "Zhan Si Envoy will work hard a little more and go to Jingzhou." ”
"Yes, Lord's Order." Zhan Hu replied. He said to Yuanhang again: "Please ask Ye Junshou to write a letter to the family and inform me." The voyage nodded in response.
After dispersing, Yuanhang and Situ Hao walked outside the palace together.
"Voyage, is there a way?" Situ Hao asked with concern.
"Uncle, the little nephew of Shougong Sand just heard about it, I don't know what it is?" Yuanhang asked curiously.
"This sand spot is on the girl's arm, and if it is a complete body, it will always exist. If it is not complete, it will fade and disappear within three days. Situ Hao said.
"Oh, that's accurate?" Yuanhang asked incredulously.
"Well, it's unusually accurate. What if your two ladies came? Situ Hao was worried about him.
"Uncle rest assured, both of her are perfect, and the little nephew was drunk on the day of the wedding and never had sex together." Yuanhang said embarrassedly.
"You...... Ha ha. After Situ Hao heard this, he laughed and said, "No wonder you are calm, it turns out that you have a plan." ”
Yuanhang was also lucky in his heart, and the two daughters pushed each other that day, but they fulfilled the autumn season. Now it has become an important bargaining chip for him to knock down Du Zhiyuan, which is really lucky.
Back at the post station, Yuanhang told Tang Ling about the affairs of the court, which startled Tang Ling. He asked, "Young Master, in which young grandmother's room did you spend the night that day?" ”
"Hehe, God help me, I didn't go to any room that day." Yuanhang smiled triumphantly.
"Oh, that's fine." Tang Ling breathed a sigh of relief, thought for a while, and asked, "No, where did you go to spend the night, young master?" ”
"Hehe, you have to keep it a secret for me, I went to the autumn room." Yuanhang said with a wink at Tang Ling.
"Ahh Tang Ling was stunned for a moment, and only after half a sound did he say a word, "Three...... Young grandma. ”
