Chapter 44: The Olive Branch
Hearing that there was news of Ye Qiushui, Xiang Luyang hurriedly retracted his fists and pulled up the man on the ground: "Who are you, how did you know the news of Miss Ye." ”
The man rubbed his nose and said, "The little one is a steward of the Xinwang Mansion, Miss Ye was rescued by my prince in the back mountain this morning, and is now recuperating in the palace, I am waiting for you at the door of the inn." ”
"I saw you enter the inn just now, and I was just about to follow up, but the door of the inn was locked by the brocade guard, and I had no choice but to wait for you to come out outside."
"After you came out, I saw that there were many people on the street, so I didn't dare to come forward to talk to you, so I kept coming here with you, and before I could speak, I was punched by you."
After listening to the steward's words, Xiang Luyang said suspiciously: "You said that Miss Ye is now in your palace?" ”
The steward said, "It's true, I don't believe you look at this." ”
As he spoke, he handed a head rope that Ye Qiushui tied to his hair and handed it to Xiang Luyang.
Xiang Luyang took the red rope, and when he saw that it was indeed Ye Qiushui's thing, he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, it stands to reason that even if Ye Qiushui was rescued by King Xin, he would not leak his identity, and if he took 10,000 steps back, even if his identity was leaked, but Ye Qiushui had no reason to confess himself and others.
After sending the steward away, Xiang Luyang told Marco his doubts, Marco also felt that this matter was a little strange, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Could this be a trap, Zhu Changming and their deliberate design to lure us into the bait?" ”
Xiang Luyang said: "I don't know yet, but whether it's a trap or not, I have to go to the Xinwang Mansion for a trip, otherwise I'll be so sorry for Miss Ye." ”
Marco said, "Isn't it too risky to do this?" ”
Xiang Luyang said: "I can't care so much now, you will take Miss Gao for a while, follow the mark, and go to meet with Captain Luo and them first, after you go out of the city, I will go to the palace to see what the hell they are doing." ”
Gao Biying and Marco said in unison: "I'll go with you." ”
Xiang Luyang looked at the two of them and said: "You can't go, it's enough for me to go alone in this matter, the palace is heavily guarded, once you start, there is no difference between three people going in and one person going in, besides, I go in alone, if there is any emergency, it will be easier to get out, you two go together, it may be more troublesome at that time." ”
After arguing for a while, Xiang Luyang really couldn't resist Gao Biying, so he had to agree to take him with him, but Marco refused to take him anyway.
Ma could see that Xiang Luyang had made up his mind, and he was not insisting, he also knew that now that he was injured, he would not be able to help much, but would become a burden to Xiang Luyang and them, so he listened to Xiang Luyang and went out of the city to find Luo Tianwu and them first.
When Xiang Luyang and Gao Biying came to King Xin's mansion, after announcing their names at the door, someone took them directly to Ye Qiushui's room.
Looking at Ye Qiushui, who had obviously improved his complexion on the bed, Xiang Luyang's heart finally relaxed, after a short exchange, Xiang Luyang finally knew what happened, and after learning about Zhu Youzhen's personality, Xiang Luyang couldn't help but have a strong interest in this famous tragic emperor in history.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to ask about Zhu Youzhen's other things, a hearty laugh came from outside, and with this laughter, Zhu Youzhen walked into Ye Qiushui's room.
After a few brief greetings, Zhu Youzhen went directly to the topic: "Brother Xiang is a talent, courageous and knowledgeable, why hasn't this king heard of Brother Xiang's name in this capital?" ”
Xiang Luyang said: "Xiang has lived in the countryside for a long time, and he has only recently come to Beijing, and the prince has never heard of it, which is also reasonable." ”
Zhu Youzhen said: "I see, this king still thinks that Brother Xiang has been living in the capital all along, and he is secretly regretting that such a heroic figure is right in front of him, how can this king have the opportunity to get acquainted today." ”
Xiang Luyang said: "The prince has an overreputation, Xiang is a grass man, and he mistakenly entered the smelter for his livelihood, just because of impulse, he broke into a monstrous disaster, and I hope the prince will forgive me." ”
Zhu Youzhen said: "Brother Xiang, this is what you said, you can blow up Wei Biao's mine, it's too late for this king to thank you, how can I blame you." ”
"To tell the truth, in fact, this king has long wanted to attack Wei Gelding, but there are many Wei Eunuchs, and there has been no suitable opportunity, just now this king said that in the capital, people of insight, this king knows, it's not that this king is boasting, but this king has indeed been in contact with them."
"It's no secret that this king has been recruiting troops and horses to form his own forces, and once the opportunity is ripe, this king will definitely uproot Wei Gelding and his henchmen."
Xiang Luyang said: "The prince is eloquent, Xiang is very impressed, since the prince wants to get rid of Wei Biao, why don't you contact the emperor's relatives first and do it together?" ”
Hearing Xiang Luyang say this, Zhu Youzhen sighed and said: "How easy it is to contact the emperor's relatives and relatives, take King Kang as an example, this King Kang was originally a side branch of my Zhu family, according to the generation, this king still has to call him an imperial uncle, but my imperial uncle really doesn't know how to check, and actually condescends to worship that Wei Eunuch as his father-in-law for his own selfish interests." ”
"Our Zhu family has no face, although the imperial brother is also a little annoyed by this matter, but after Wei Gelding coaxed him, the imperial brother actually acquiesced in this matter, and other imperial relatives saw this scene, so they dared to go against Wei Gelding, and it was too late for them to confront Wei Eunuch."
Xiang Luyang said: "I didn't expect that there would be a person like King Kang in the royal family, it's really a loss of royal face." ”
Zhu Youzhen said: "The shame is small, this king is afraid that it will continue like this for a long time, and what is lost is Jiangshan Sheji, Wei Biao's heart of disobedience is known to the world, but the imperial brother ignores this matter, which is really worrying." ”
Seeing that Zhu Youzhen was in a lower mood the more he spoke, Xiang Luyang comforted: "Today's saint is estimated to be confused for a while, and after being encouraged by Wei Eunuch, sooner or later he will come to his senses and expose Wei Eunuch's tricks. ”
Zhu Youzhen sighed and said: "It's not easy to talk about, my Daming is now terminally ill, and I am on the verge of life and death, if I don't take strong medicine, I'm afraid it will be too late." ”
Xiang Luyang said: "The prince's words are serious, although I have Wei Eunuch in the Ming Dynasty, but it is also a temporary worry, the foundation is still there, as long as it is handled properly, I think it is not difficult to prosper the Ming Dynasty." ”
Zhu Youzhen said: "If Brother Xiang is willing to help this king, Zhongxing Daming, it is indeed not difficult!" ”
Xiang Luyang didn't expect Zhu Youzhen to lead the topic to himself at once, and he was a little overwhelmed for a while.
Seeing that Xiang Luyang did not answer, Zhu Youzhen continued: "Brother Xiang is brave and strategic, he is a rare talent, if Brother Xiang is willing to come over to help this king, this king will have the confidence to sweep away the chaotic party and revitalize the dynasty." ”
Seeing that Zhu Youzhen threw an olive branch to himself, Xiang Luyang began to secretly calculate in his heart, and secretly analyzed the shape in front of him.
