Chapter 581: Earth-shattering changes
Chunfu answered, Yang Su put the pages of letter paper with a reply into the envelope, and carefully sealed the mouth with fire paint, and then handed it to Chunfu, and said to him: "Gonggong Lao will go again and forward this letter to His Royal Highness the Prince." My son is mysterious and escorts my father-in-law into the palace. ”
Yang Suyan glanced at Yang Xuan. Yang Xuan understood that this letter was related to the net worth and life of the Yang family, and if it fell into the hands of others, it would be possible, so it was necessary to ensure that this letter was handed over to Yang Guang himself, and there could be no business trip.
So Yang Xuangan gave up his promise and walked out of the door with Chunfu, unconsciously, Yang Xuangan found that his mouth was dry, his palms were full of sweat, and his underwear was soaked, even when he fought with the Turks last time, he had never been so nervous.
The two walked all the way to the palace gate of Dafu Palace, and Chunfu was constantly wiping sweat all the way, without saying a word, Yang Xuangan was much taller than him, and Chunfu had been walking slightly bent over, which seemed to be even more elevation.
But now the two of them are so anxious, they can't care about it, they walk quickly, and even when they meet the patrol led by Xiong Kuohai, Yang Xuangan can't bother to speak, just nodding and passing by.
After a while, the two came to the palace gate of Dafu Palace, and there were more than ten vigorous guards guarding the door, and a general led by him saw the two coming, so he stepped forward and said, "Please show the token." ”
Chunfu glanced at Yang Xuangan, took out a token from his arms, and handed it to Nadu Wei, who took it and gave it back to Chunfu. "You can go in." ”
Yang Xuangan said in a deep voice: "The left servant shot Lord Yang and ordered me to escort this father-in-law back." Please make it easier. ”
The general at the head looked embarrassed: "General Yang." It's not that we can't trust the general, it's really difficult to disobey the orders from above, and please understand the hardships of the brothers. ”
Yang Xuangan stepped forward and took a closer look at the general, and immediately recognized that this person was a Xiaoguo personal guard who had followed him to fight the Turks, named Zhang Tong'er, who had been on duty in the Yue State Mansion for several years with Xiong Kuohai before, and he was also an acquaintance.
So Yang Xuan laughed: "Zhang Tong'er, this father-in-law has important twists and turns. I can't go on any business trips, and I must face the prince, so Yue Guogong specially asked me to escort me all the way, and please make it convenient. ”
Zhang Tong'er's voice was full of hesitation, and said, "This ......"
Yang Xuangan took a step forward and whispered to Zhang Tong'er: "In the future, the crown prince will ascend the throne, and my father's performance is urgently given to the prince, you should understand the stakes." ”
Zhang Tong'er's face changed after hearing this, and said, "General Yang, these villains understand. But the villain ......"
Yang Xuangan thought about it for a while, and his eyes rolled. With a slight smile, he untied the saber at his waist: "If Captain Li is worried that General Ben will have a weapon on his body and endanger the safety of the people inside, then Ben will leave the weapon and go in with his bare hands, you shouldn't have to worry about it now." ”
Zhang Tong'er gritted his teeth, stomped his foot, took Yang Xuangan's sword, and said in a low voice: "General, go back quickly, don't let the little one be too embarrassed." ”
Yang Xuangan followed behind Chunfu, all the way fast, the huge square was empty, there was no one, and the two people guarding the door of the main hall in the distance were not guards with helmets and armor, but internal servants dressed like this Chunfu, and there were no weapons in their hands.
Yang Guang's temporary dormitory is in the side hall next to the Great Treasure Palace, and there is not even a palace attendant at the door, Yang Xuangan followed Chunfu over, but heard a man and a woman talking from a distance.
The man's voice was full of energy, but the speed of speech was very fast, like a cannon, and it was not very real to hear from a distance, while the woman's voice was unusually good, like a pearl falling on a jade plate, occasionally mixed with the man's voice, which was particularly pleasant.
Chunfu said respectfully outside the door: "Slave Chunfu, I have seen the prince and the concubine." ”
The two people in the palace stopped talking, and after a while, Yang Guang, who was dressed in a yellow silk coat, walked out, Yang Xuangan hadn't seen Yang Guang for several years, but he felt that his appearance was not much different from three years ago, but he looked very haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was also very tired.
Yang Guang looked at Yang Xuangan, put on a smiling face, and said, "Virtuous nephew, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
Yang Xuangan hurriedly saluted and said: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince, Xuangan was at home a few years ago, and he failed to meet His Highness, so I hope to forgive my sins." ”
Yang Guang smiled and waved his hand and said, "You and I don't have to be so polite, Zhao'er hasn't seen you for a long time, and the last time I came to see Gu, I still talked to Gu Nian about this." ”
Yang Xuan remembered that Yang Zhao had moved out of the East Palace and left his parents since he replaced Yang Guang's throne as King of Jin, and he had told himself that he was lonely and lonely, hoping to talk to himself and Li Mi more.
But Yang Xuangan has only cared about traveling around the world this year, but he put aside the fat man (Yang Xuangan's private name for Yang Zhao), and he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, his eyes were hot, and he hurriedly lowered his head.
Yang Guang saw him like this, laughed, turned to Chunfu, and said, "Where is Yue Guogong's reply?" ”
An imperceptible smile flashed on Chunfu's face, and he took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Yang Guang. Then he turned and walked into the temple.
Chunfu smiled meaningfully at Yang Xuangan: "General Yang, our family will not accompany you, please do it." After finishing speaking, he turned around and hurriedly ran in the direction of the Great Treasure Hall, and the speed was much faster than just now.
Yang Xuangan shook his head, and said in his heart What is wrong with this eunuch, running directly to the main hall like this, is it possible that he is in a hurry to be congratulated, I heard that the urine of these eunuchs is not the same as ordinary people, and they often flow out uncontrollably, could it be that he ran too quickly just now and has already peed his pants?
Yang Xuan thought about it, and was almost at the gate of the palace, when he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps in the empty square, and only heard someone shouting behind him: "Virtuous nephew, please stay." ”
As soon as Yang Xuangan turned around, he saw Yang Guang running behind sweating, panting. There was a feeling of breathlessness in his voice. Loose hair. A lock of hair on his forehead stuck to the door of his head, and one foot was empty, and even his shoes ran away.
Yang Xuan was taken aback, he never thought that Yang Guang would be so wolf, he hurriedly knelt down and prepared to kowtow, but before his head could make close contact with the ground, he was pulled up by Yang Guang, and his ears were full of Yang Guang's heavy gasping sound.
Yang Xuangan glanced at Yang Guang's expression. His mouth was almost so shocked that he couldn't close it, and he saw Yang Yong, who had always been gentle and elegant, his eyes were red at this time, his eyes were as wide as copper bells, and the muscles on his face were twisted, which looked really scary.
Yang Guang said in a low voice: "The virtuous nephew and the lonely come quickly, there are important matters to discuss." Without waiting for Yang Xuangan to answer, he pulled him to a secluded place in the corner of the square.
After Yang Xuangan stood still, he was surprised: "His Royal Highness the Prince, ...... are you?"
Yang Guang waved his hand to stop him: "Ignore him first." We have all fallen for the Spring Blessing, and I am afraid that your father's letter has now fallen into the hands of the emperor. ”
Yang Xuan felt that the whole person was like being hit by five thunders. It was dark in front of him, and he almost didn't faint, he shook twice, finally stood still, settled down, and said, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Yang Guang gritted his teeth and said: "It's all Chen Guiren, a fool who doesn't know anyone, put a white-eyed wolf by his side, that Chunfu is his father's person!" It's over. ”
"Just now Gu went back to the palace to see, the letter was actually a blank piece of paper, and when he came out again, Chunfu was gone, and Gu saw from a distance that he had entered his father's bedroom, and he must have taken the reply letter from Yue Guogong to Gu to his father."
Yang Xuangan's head was about to explode when he heard this, and he couldn't care about the etiquette of humility, so he hurriedly asked: "Is this the personal meaning of Chunfu or the meaning of Chen Guiren?" ”
Yang Guang suddenly came to his senses: "Yes, could it be the meaning of that slut?" Why didn't Lone see it, and actually believed her for so many years? ”
Yang Xuangan hurriedly said: "Then now you go back and take a look at your side hall, Chen Guiren is still not there." ”
Yang Guang nodded, and immediately ran to his side hall, after a while, he ran back again, this time even the shoes on his feet that ran off were put on, and when he saw Yang Xuangan, he said: "This slut is not here, now it is clear, this matter must have been instigated by her, seeing that Chunfu was exposed, he immediately returned to his father." How can this be born is good, how can this be born is good! ”
Yang Xuangan had been thinking about this question just now, and after getting through the initial panic and confusion, his mind gradually cleared up, and he said in a low voice: "Your Highness, don't worry, now the guards of this Renshou Palace are all in the hands of Your Highness, as long as you can control this, you are not afraid, even if the emperor wants to be unfavorable to His Highness and my father, he must transfer Daxing's soldiers." In this situation, he would never have been able to do it. ”
Yang Guang was slightly stunned, and immediately reacted, with a hint of joy on his face: "That's right!" ”
Yang Xuangan continued: "And the emperor should have finished reading this letter by now, but there is no action, which proves that it is just this letter, and he may not despair of the prince, although the letter said a lot of things to deal with behind him, but after all, it was not directly aimed at the emperor himself, he will be angry when he sees it, but he may not be dismissed from his father's official position because of this, let alone abolish the position of the prince." ”
Yang Guang nodded: "That's true." ”
Yang Xuangan lowered his voice and said: "But just in case, you still have to plan early, don't hide it, my father has already sent a guest from the house to answer outside this palace, and once there is a change, you can pass the news at any time." ”
Yang Xuangan looked at the direction of the signing room outside the courtyard wall, and continued to whisper: "If the emperor really wants to be unfavorable to the prince, he will definitely send Liu Juma to Daxing to pass the decree to Yang Yong over, so as long as the prince keeps an eye on Liu Juma, there is no need to worry about this." ”
Yang Guang pondered for a moment and said: "Although Yu Zhongwen is a lonely person, his friendship is not as deep as Yuwen's, and Lone has never discussed the matter of seizing the throne with him, when it comes to the choice of life and death, he may not dare to stand on my side, and now we must prepare for the worst." ”
"The palace guards of this Renshou Palace, most of them are the guards of the original East Palace, Yang Yong was in the East Palace when he was still the prince, this time my father came to the Renshou Palace, and he specially transferred Yu Zhongwen to take these guards, and he may not be completely loyal to Lone."
"But now among the people who stay in the East Palace, from Yuwen Shu to the most ordinary guards, they are all brought over from the Jin Palace, and it is for this reason that Lone put these people in the East Palace to protect my family. I didn't think there would be an accident here. But now it's like this. There's no way, virtuous nephew, now Lone and your Yang family are grasshoppers on the same rope, if something happens, no one can escape, can you do Lone a favor? ”
Yang Xuangan didn't expect that this world-famous genius would say these things so nakedly now, and he couldn't help but feel a little more disgust in his heart, but he still said quietly on his face: "Your Highness, despite your orders, dare to disobey your orders?!" ”
Yang Guang took out half a token from his arms. handed it to Yang Xuangan and said, "This half of the token is a token that I used to testify with General Yuwenshu before I came out, in order to prevent this in case." You'd better go to Daxing in person, give this token to General Yuwen, and ask him to quickly send the guards of the East Palace here, as for Lone's family, just leave about a hundred people to guard, and the large army will all come overnight and lurk under the mountain. ”
Yang Xuangan took the token and turned around to leave. Suddenly remembered something, and retracted his steps: "That's not right." Your Highness, if the troops of the East Palace are moved like this, do you want a tiger talisman? If you don't have a tiger talisman to move troops without permission, will you be stopped by General Changsun's garrison? ”
Yang Guang's voice became urgent: "I can't control this now, Changsun Sheng's movements are unknown now, but he shouldn't directly tear his face with Gu without the emperor's edict, the guards in the East Palace only have thousands of Xiaoguo, and they are all cavalry, all of them are waiting for the city, as long as they receive an order, they can leave the city in less than half an hour." ”
Yang Xuangan hesitated for a moment, but still said "yes", and hurriedly ran to the palace gate.
After taking the saber from Zhang Tong'er's hand, Yang Xuangan didn't even have time to greet him, so he ran directly to Yang Su's bedroom.
The light in the bedroom was still on, Yang Su's mountain-like figure was reflected on the window paper, and there was no guard at the door. ”
Yang Su didn't seem to be too surprised, he nodded, and his cold voice revealed a calmness: "I can guess, you have been gone for so long and haven't returned, something must have happened, say it slowly." ”
"Chunfu and Chen Guiren both fell to the emperor and deceived the letter to the emperor, and now the prince has given me half a token, asking me to immediately transfer Yu Wenshu's guards left in the East Palace to take over the situation here."
Yang Su's body shook slightly, although he expected that something would happen, but he didn't know that things were so strict, sweat began to appear on his forehead, he closed his eyes slightly, stroked his beard and thought about it, and Yang Xuangan hurriedly guarded the door, looking around vigilantly to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.
After a while, Yang Su opened his eyes, and Yang Xuangan immediately rushed to him with an arrow step, and asked in a low voice, "What should I do?" ”
Yang Su also said in a low voice: "Why did the letter on Chunfu's body become a blank piece of paper, have you thought about it?" ”
Yang Xuangan didn't think about this problem just now, he was asked all of a sudden, and after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly understood: "He must have left a blank letter in his sleeve early, and when he sent the letter to the prince, he used the bag to replace our letter with that blank piece of paper." ”
Yang Su said in a deep voice: "Yes, this matter must have been premeditated by him, if you weren't with you, you would definitely go directly to the emperor to report the news." ”
"Because my father has an extra heart and asks you to go with him, he understands the intention, so he used this bag drop plan, I'm afraid that he has already decided that with the personality of the prince, he will not open the letter in front of you, an outsider, which gives him time to get out."
Yang Xuangan suddenly understood: "So this spring blessing was premeditated?" ”
Yang Sudao: "Yes, he could have gone directly to the informant when he actually had the prince's handwriting, but that could only convict the prince of unfilial piety, but if he obtained the father's handwriting, then the nature of the matter has changed, this is the prince's collusion with important ministers, there is a suspicion of misdeeds, presumably the emperor is now out of anger." ”
Yang Xuangan hurriedly said: "But the emperor hasn't made any moves yet, just now the prince analyzed, I'm afraid he won't attack him based on this matter alone, and ......"
Yang Su directly waved his hand to interrupt Yang Xuangan's words, and said: "You don't know the emperor too well, I have dealt with the emperor all my life, and I know that he is vigilant about power, even if anyone has the possibility of threatening his power, he will not hesitate to eradicate it, no matter how good my relationship with him is, can I be too close to him?" He didn't do it now, but he was afraid that it wasn't because he didn't want to touch me, but because he was making plans and evaluating the gains and losses. ”
"You also know that now there are guards of the East Palace inside and outside the Renshou Palace, but it is the former East Palace guards led by Yu Zhongwen, the prince is not at ease with them, but the emperor also does not dare to risk using these people to take us down, now it is a hemp rod to beat the wolf at both ends, the prince does not dare to bet on the loyalty of these people, and the emperor does not dare, if he wants to move us, he can only use Changsun Sheng."
"But if he wants to summon Changsun Sheng now, I'm afraid he can only send the military department Shangshu, his good son-in-law Liu Shu past, this person is completely targeted by us, if the emperor really uploads him, I am afraid that the prince will grit his teeth and fight to the death, and forcibly order Yu Zhongwen to detain this person. At that time, Yu Zhongwen's movements will be the most critical. ”
Yang Xuan said anxiously: "What does my father mean to immediately contact Yu Zhongwen urgently, tell him the prince's meaning in advance, and let him stand on our side?" ”
Yang Su's eyes flashed coldly, and he stood up suddenly: "No, this method is useless, Yu Zhongwen is under the pressure of not being mentally prepared, if you force him directly, it is likely that he will fall to the emperor instead, and the prince has not given you any tokens to contact Yu Zhongwen, and he may not believe you." Now the prince can't get out, Yu Zhongwen can't get in, and this road must not be taken. ”
Yang Xuan was so anxious that he was sweating like pulp: "What should I do?" ”
Yang Su's beard suddenly floated without wind, and his eyes flashed brightly: "I will immediately prepare an edict and let Yu Zhongwen lead his subordinates down the mountain and go to Daxing to exchange guards with Yuwenshu." (To be continued......)
