Chapter Ninety-Seven: Reunion after a Long Absence

(Push the mosquito legs, the number of readings and collections has been increasing, but how can the recommended votes just not move?) Standing still, supported by old friends. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Kirin Coco will not interact, I just want to say, thank you book friends, if you think it is good, give a count, thank you, it is very important to the author. Opening the report card at least made me feel motivated to persevere. )

Tang Zhong and Zhang Rui came back to their senses at this time: "Today you have a good mouth, the kitchen prepared by Miss Youfang herself, a table full of delicacies, and I also followed it." Tang Zhong said as he let everyone into the village, and a small servant had already come over to kick and lead the horse, leading several of Yang Ke's personal soldiers to go down to eat.

Yang Ke followed Tang Zhong and the two through the Zhaobi and Yongdao, and walked into the Hulu Valley. Tang Zhong said: "The personal soldiers that Gongzi brought to the battlefield this time were reduced to zero, and secretly sneaked back to the Hulu Valley, and now they are all completely restored, since the rebellion of Jia Hou was quelled, according to Gongzi's orders, thousands of people and horses have been recruited one after another, and there are now 5,000 elite soldiers hidden in this gourd valley, all of which have been tempered by thousands of tempers." ”

Yang Ke nodded with satisfaction: "The soldiers that Wen Hou personally trained and brought out are naturally not bad. Is Sima Ying alert to our movements now? ”

Tang Zhong shook his head: "Tang Bin's stay in the army is the best cover, the world knows that he is a henchman in Gongzi's army, no one can guess that Gongzi will quietly return to Kyoto alone." Except for the Queen Mother, Lord Zhang and Wen Hou, even Zhang Chang didn't know about the whereabouts of the prince this time. ”

The three of them talked all the way, and unconsciously entered the small courtyard where Yang Ke once lived in the gourd valley, the scenery in the courtyard is still the same, it looks well organized, exactly the same as when Yang Ke was in the past, but there are more potted flowers, which seem to be carelessly dotted in the courtyard, but it is ingenious, the flowers are red and willow green, and they are not kitsch. Yang Ke glanced at Zhang Rui, and the two looked at each other and smiled, needless to say, these flowers and plants must be Zhang Rui's handiwork.

The living room is already full of delicacies, several vegetarian dishes are very beautiful with red and green, among which is a large copper pot, the thick soup is boiling, the aroma is overflowing, it is a fish soup boiled to a white juice and sticky, with fresh and green vegetables. What's even more rare is that there is also a plate of yusheng, the knife work is very good, each piece of yusheng is as thin as cicada wings, crystal clear. Yang Ke couldn't help but move his index fingers: "Youfang, thank you for your hard work, I just casually said how to eat yusheng, but I didn't expect you to make it." ”

Zhang Rui said with a smile: "According to the method you said, I did it several times, and finally mastered the essentials, and I don't know if it is the taste you said." ”

"You don't have to taste it, you can't be wrong when you look at it, in the past half a year, in addition to meat and meat on the grassland, you can't see a few green vegetables, let alone fish." Yang Ke couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, sandwiched a piece of yusheng, dipped in the mustard sauce mixed with brown mustard (mustard native to China, has been eaten since the Zhou Dynasty), and sent it to the mouth, the sweetness of the yusheng combined with the spicy mustard, Yang Ke ate and felt the hearty feeling that he had not seen for a long time: "Old master, come and taste it, this is a delicacy in the world." ”

Tang Zhong tried to follow Yang Ke's method, picked up a piece of raw fish dipping sauce and put it in his mouth, as soon as he entered it, he was in a hurry, and he was anxious to spit it out, Yang Ke hurriedly said: "Don't vomit, hold your breath, it's good to pass the spicy energy." ”

Tang Zhongqiang endured it without throwing up, and after a while, he really felt that the aftertaste was endless, and what he enjoyed eating was the fresh and spicy momentum.

"Old master, let's talk about that Sima Ying." Yang Ke said while pouring wine for Tang Zhong.

Tang Zhong put down his chopsticks and pondered for a moment before he spoke: "This Sima Ying, Zi Zhangdu, is the sixteenth son of the first emperor and the half-brother of Banzai today. Mother Cheng Cairen, her mother's family is also a royal clan, and she has some power. Taikang was named the king of CD in ten years, and later complained against Jia Mi, a henchman of Jia Hou, who was renamed the general of Pingbei and guarded Yecheng (now southwest of Linzhang, Hebei). During the period when Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, was in power, he originally wanted to entrap Sima Ying, crown him as the general of the expedition to the north, and add the three divisions of the Fuyi and the same department. Unexpectedly, Sima Ying listened to the words of his subordinate strategist Lu Zhi, and even contacted Sima Yi and conspired to crusade against Sima Lun. ”

"Is the Lu Zhi you are talking about the great-grandson of Lu Zhi, the general of the Northern Middle Lang of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the grandson of Cao Wei Sikong Lu Yu, and the son of Wei Wei Lu Ting?" Yang Ke suddenly interjected and asked.

Tang Zhongqi said: "Childe has heard of this person? ”

Yang Ke nodded: "Ziping once collected information from the vassal king and his confidants and military generals for me, and I have also studied it carefully. This Lu Zhike is Sima Ying's chief strategist. In his early years, Lu Zhi served as the county magistrate of Gongfu Peng, Shang Shulang and Ye County. When Sima Ying was guarding Yecheng, he admired his intelligence and measurements, and regarded him as a confidant. This person is extremely far-sighted and can see through the general trend in a complicated situation, but unfortunately Sima Ying is younger and arrogant after all, so he may not always be able to trust him. ”

In the words of the childe, it was this Lu Zhi who was running to contact the vassal king and became Sima Ying's lobbyist. Many horizontal and horizontal strategies were planned by Lu Zhi, but recently I received news that Lu Zhi was too arbitrary, and there was a dislike between Sima Ying and him over one thing, and Lu Zhi finally moved out of Sima Ying's mother to force Sima Ying to comply. But Sima Ying still insisted on going her own way. ”

"Is the old master talking about Sima Ying's entry into the court and auxiliary government?"

It was this matter that Lu Zhi asked Sima Ying to postpone her entry into the court and wait and see what happened on the grounds that her mother Concubine Cheng was nostalgic for Yecheng and unwilling to enter Kyoto. Sima Ying insisted on not complying, and now he has arrived in Luoyang. ”

Yang Ke looked at Tang Zhong with blazing eyes, and suddenly changed the topic: "Second uncle, you tell the truth, did my uncle get involved with the vassal king this time?" ”

When they first met, Yang Ke and Tang Bin were commensurate with each other, so they also followed Tang Bin to call themselves the second uncle, and after entering the court, Yang Ke changed his name to call himself the old master when he was with his staff in public, and only on very private occasions would he follow the old name of the second uncle. At this moment, hearing Yang Ke call himself like this for a long time, Tang Zhong couldn't help but stop his chopsticks, his eyes flickered, as an old man who had been in the world for a long time, he understood the truth of intimacy too well. If the struggle for power involves kinship, it is often a huge trap, and if you participate in it as an outsider, you are likely to be devoured to the point that there are no bones left.

Seeing Tang Zhong's silence, Yang Ke sighed: "Second uncle, in fact, you don't need to say anything, I can also understand that without my uncle's appearance, it would be impossible for the Queen Mother to agree to the transfer of Sima Ying to the court and auxiliary government, and it is even more impossible for Sima Ying to transfer troops into Beijing in the name of justice." There are some words, I can't break the Queen Mother until there is conclusive evidence, she is now in charge of the government alone, in case someone sees a flaw, I am afraid that she will be in danger. ”

Tang Zhong was taken aback: "What? Did Sima Ying transfer troops into Beijing? ”

Yang Ke nodded: "Second Uncle still remember the officers and soldiers who openly plundered under Lishi City back then?" ”
