Chapter 101: Preparing for the North (Part II)

Yang Yaozong had just finished explaining the matter of the Secret Investigation Institute to Jing Yijun and Yin Ruxin, and Qin Haizhou also came here, and the four of them chatted together for a while. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Qin Haizhou learned that Yang Yaozong was going north on the same day, so he was also concerned about accompanying Yang Yaozong to the north to take care of Yang Yaozong's safety. Yang Yaozong thought that Yin Ruxin had just taken over the Secret Investigation Institute and needed him to take care of it, and he could not do without his help and coordination for the training of the secret inspectors and the arrangement of the secret inspectors. Also, as the general of the city defense army, how could he go out of the city at will, not to mention that there were some people with heads, faces and status in the capital who didn't know him Qin Haizhou. If he goes, it will arouse the vigilance of King Qin. There are also two sisters-in-law who are pregnant, and they always ask him to take care of one or two at home and other things to persuade him, and finally persuade Qin Haizhou to agree to stay in Tianjing City.

The affairs of the Secret Investigation Institute were arranged, and Yang Yaozong and Jing Yijun went to the palace to meet the emperor's grandson and King Xian. Yin Ruxin returned to his small courtyard to help Ruyi pack up the things he was going to move to Yang's mansion. Qin Haizhou continued to stay in the secret investigation institute to deal with intelligence documents.

Jing Yijun took Yang Yaozong and went straight to the palace where the emperor had been resting before without a report, and saw the question played by the emperor's grandson who humbly asked King Xian for advice on the recital. Yang Yaozong was very relieved to see the emperor's grandson Min and studious.

When the imperial grandson saw Yang Yaozong, he hurriedly got up and ran a few steps towards him with a happy face, and then felt that his behavior was inappropriate, so he immediately stopped and smiled, and stood in place with his chest held high.

Yang Yaozong was amused when he saw it, and he walked in front of the imperial grandson to salute. But seeing the emperor's grandson's big sleeves waved with concern, he asked: "No need to be polite, the grandson's body is better?" ā€

Yang Yaozong knew that the imperial grandson really cared about him, and said with a warm heart: "Your Highness Xie cares, the minister's health is much better." Today, I have come to meet His Royal Highness and King Xian, and the minister is ready to leave for Beijing tomorrow. ā€

The two talked as they walked, and they had already walked to the bed where King Xian was lying in the pretend emperor's usual life. Because there were no outsiders at this time, King Xian naturally did not need Yang Yaozong's courtesy, and King Xian did not pretend that the emperor was disturbed by illness and was weak and powerless. I saw King Xian sitting cross-legged on the bed in good spirits. He was scolded by Yang Yaozong that day, and he reconciled with Princess Xian that night, and he finally felt the warmth of his family, and he was very grateful to Yang Yaozong. At this time, when he heard that Yang Yaozong was going north to Beijing on the same day, he also asked with concern: "It's better for Taisun Taifu to rest for a little longer, it's hard to go to Beijing all the way, not to mention that you and Jun'er are newly married Yan'er, are you willing to part with her?" ā€œ

Yang Yaozong looked at Jing Yijun, who was blushing and embarrassed by King Xian, and took her hand and said to King Xian: "Naturally, I am reluctant, but Jun'er and I both know that state affairs are important." For us, there is a country to have a home, the Great Zhou is stable and strong, and the family of me and Jun'er is able to be harmonious and prosperous more and more. ā€œ

King Xian stared at Yang Yaozong with blazing eyes and said excitedly: "Okay! Only when there is a country can there be a home! Good! Yang Yaozong, what you said, made this king impress you again! It's just that I'm going to work hard for you and Jun'er. You two have just gotten married, and you have to worry about state affairs. Wait! Jing Sheng! ā€

As soon as the imperial grandson heard King Xian call him, he hurriedly said obediently: "Third grandfather." ā€œ

King Xian smiled and said, "If you become the emperor in the future, you must remember everything your aunt and grandson have done for you." Be a virtuous gentleman, don't live up to your aunt's and grandson's expectations of you. ā€œ

The imperial grandson nodded vigorously and firmly: "Third grandfather, I will definitely not disappoint your expectations of me." I will also remember the good intentions you have put into me. ā€

Yang Yaozong smiled and said to King Xian: "King Xian doesn't need to put too much pressure on the imperial grandson, I will be more careful when I go to Beijing, and I will return as soon as possible when the matter is done." Not to mention ......"

Yang Yaozong looked at Jing Yijun beside him and said with some embarrassment: "What's more, occasionally this kind of thing is more pleasing than one of the four joys in life." ā€

The imperial grandson hurriedly asked, "Four joys in life?" Taisun Taifu tell me about the four joys, why have I never heard of it? ā€

"Uh......" Yang Yaozong was stunned, and said in his heart, don't they all know the saying "four joys in life?" Looking at King Xian and Jing Yijun again, they both looked at him with expectant and curious eyes like the imperial grandson. Yang Yaozong coughed twice and said with a smile: "This life is four joys, the minister will talk about it, His Royal Highness and the prince will listen to whether they meet the conditions for the four joys in life." The four joys of this life are, a long drought and a sweet shower, a foreign country meets an old acquaintance, a candle night in the cave room, and the title of the gold list. ā€

After Yang Yaozong finished speaking, King Xian smiled and nodded silently.

When Jing Yijun heard the candle night in the cave room, he thought that because of Yang Yaozong's health, the two of them had not had a round room, and Yang Yaozong's internal injuries could not recover from these days, so naturally he could not have a round house. It seems that he can only wait until Yang Yaozong returns from the north to round the house. She couldn't help but feel a little lost, and at the same time ashamed that she was thinking about the round house.

The imperial grandson repeated it again and asked curiously: "What is it that the grandson and the prince said are more pleasing than the four joys of this life?" ā€

Yang Yaozong hesitated, "this and this" didn't say it for a long time, with an embarrassed look on his face.

Seeing that Yang Yaozong seemed to have something unspeakable, King Xian asked, "What is more pleasing than one of the four joys should also be a happy event." But it doesn't hurt for you to say it. Don't be a fuss. ā€

Yang Yaozong smiled awkwardly and said, "Yes...... It's a little better than a newlywed ......."

The imperial grandson didn't understand the meaning, and looked at Yang Yaozong with a puzzled expression. King Xian frowned, thought about it, and suddenly laughed: "Interesting! Interesting! It's really fun! Yang Yaozong, you are really interesting! ā€œ

Yang Yaozong smiled wryly.

Jing Yijun didn't know what she meant, looking at King Xian and Yang Yaozong's embarrassed appearance, she muttered in her heart, "Xiao Beisheng is newly married?" Little Bie wins the newlywed? She and Yang Yaozong have not yet had a round house, so they naturally don't understand the meaning of what Yang Yaozong said. But thinking of the "Candle Night in the Cave Room" in the Four Joys mentioned by Yang Yaozong, he also noticed something ignorantly, and couldn't help but bow his head red. A shy and lovely appearance.

The imperial grandson looked at King Xian very humbly and said, "Third grandfather, what does this little Biesheng mean by being newly married?" You also praise Taisun Taifu for being interesting. ā€

King Xian laughed a few times and said, "You will naturally understand this in the future, and you won't understand it if I explain it to you now." ā€

The imperial grandson pouted and sighed softly. But in his heart, he was still thinking about "Xiao Biesheng is newlywed".

Yang Yaozong saw the emperor's grandson frowning and thinking, and hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Your Highness, the minister is going north this time and wants to take someone with him." This man may be of great help to the minister. ā€œ

The imperial grandson's attention really shifted, and he said curiously: "Oh? Who does Taisun Taifu want to bring, even if you say it, I will allow you? ā€œ

King Xian sighed at the emperor's grandson's hasty agreement to Yang Yaozong's request. Shaking his head, he looked at the imperial grandson helplessly. sighed in my heart, alas! He's still too young after all. I don't know the majesty and prudence that a king should have.

Yang Yaozong saw King Xian's behavior and guessed what he was thinking, but he was also happy that the imperial grandson favored him. smiled and said: "Chen wants to take Zhang Lie, the leader of this new department, to the north together." ā€

The imperial grandson pondered for a moment and said, "Oh. I remember that Zhang Lie was the person who used the white scroll as the answer to the imperial examination questions on the white paper issued by the Taisun Taifu. also said that a piece of paper could not contain the ideals and revenge in his heart. For this reason, he was also praised by the grandson and the master. Right. ā€

Yang Yaozong nodded and said, "Yes!" It's this person. This person was originally a person from Shangjing, and his elder brother was also the left general of the Shangjing Border Guards. And Zhang Lie does have revenge in his heart, and I have talked to him about it. This person wants to be able to do something practical, and he doesn't like to do the stuff of compiling and editing books. I also felt that this person had a loyal and courageous attitude, so I decided to take this person north, and by the way, I could also test him. If this person is of great use, I will introduce him to the imperial grandson, so that he can show his revenge. ā€

The imperial grandson nodded and said, "Okay, then I will issue an edict to let Zhang Lie go north with you, and let him completely obey your orders." ā€œ

"Hmm...... Does Taisun Taifu only want to take him to the north alone? The imperial grandson then asked suspiciously.

Yang Yaozong said: "Shangjing City is extremely strict in the review of people coming and going, in order to enter Shangjing City more securely, so as not to startle the snake and attract the attention of people who are interested, so the minister plans to take Zhang Lie alone to accompany him." The minister's guild was under the pseudonym Yang Guo, and he would be invited by Zhang Lie to his home as a guest as a friend of Zhang Lie, and by the way, under the pretext of studying in Beijing, Zhang Lie would be used as a guarantor. I think I'll be able to get into the city without any problems. ā€œ

The imperial grandson frowned and said, "Then how to protect the personal safety of the imperial grandson?" ā€œ

Yang Yaozong looks like Jing Yijun. Jing Yijun nodded knowingly. walked up to the imperial grandson, gently patted the imperial grandson's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, you just need to believe in him." He'll be back safe! Although Jing Yijun said this to the imperial grandson, he was also comforting himself.

The imperial grandson looked at Jing Yijun's determined expression, and thought of the meaning of what Jing Yijun said, so he naturally thought of the matter of the Secret Investigation Academy. He must have said in his heart that the Secret Investigation Institute had already prepared. Only then did he reassure and said: "Then Taisun Taifu should also be careful." In this way, in order to make it more convenient for you to act, I give you the pseudonym Yang Guo to be born in the same jinshi. After all, hehe, I can't give this top three, but I know that the talent of Taisun Taifu, if he participates in the imperial examination, he will definitely come out on top. And with this Tongjinshi background, the fact that Taisun Taifu and Zhang Lie's new science list are friends will be more reasonable. ā€

Yang Yaozong was praised by the emperor's grandson very honestly. In my heart, I also sincerely appreciate that the imperial grandson can add icing on the cake and make the strategy more complete. He bowed down and praised the imperial grandson: "Your Royal Highness is thoughtful and strategic, and the minister is deeply pleased and honored as the grandson and concubine. ā€

The imperial grandson was very happy when he heard Yang Yaozong praise himself like this, and he looked happy.

King Xian also looked at the imperial grandson with appreciation, and said to Yang Yaozong: "This king will write a letter to you in a while, if you encounter any trouble, or have any tricky things to help with, take my letter and go to Cui Jiye, he is the king's former favorite general, I believe he will definitely look at the face of this king to help you." ā€œ

Yang Yaozong remembered that Qin Haizhou had mentioned Cui Jiye to himself, and he should be the general of the Northern Frontier Army. Yang Yaozong confirmed: "Cui Jiye? Is it General Cui Da of the Northern Border Army? ā€œ

King Xian nodded and said, "It's this person!" ā€œ

Yang Yaozong asked cautiously, "Can General Cui be trusted?" ā€œ

King Xian comprehended Yang Yaozong's meaning, stared at Yang Yaozong and said seriously: "There is occasional contact, and every year people will bring some northern specialties to this king, but they have not met in the past ten years. As for whether he is trustworthy, Taisun Taifu has to find out in person. ā€œ

Yang Yaozong bowed to King Xian and said, "King Xie Xian's care for Yaozong. ā€œ

King Xian smiled and took out a dagger from his calf, its golden metal shell, and the surface of it was carved with a golden scale that jumped up in a graceful curve. The gold scales are carved vividly, and the golden scales are clearly visible, and there is a feeling that they are about to jump out of the surface of the scabbard under the streamer. The handle of the dagger is inlaid with a purple round gemstone, and the surface of the gem is cut and polished to create a lot of reflective surfaces, making this gem even more crystal clear and dazzling. The gem echoed the golden scales that jumped up with their graceful tails, as if they had been spit out of the mouth of the golden scales.

Yang Yaozong admired the delicacy of this dagger in his heart, and suddenly thought of a sentence "The golden scale qi is a thing in the pool, and it will turn into a dragon when it encounters wind and clouds."

King Xian looked at the dagger in his hand very lovingly, and then handed it to Yang Yaozong and said: "This dagger has been following this king's side, and the emperor has also authorized this king to carry this dagger into the palace. Now the king has given you this dagger in case you need it. But I don't want you to use it. ā€

Yang Yaozong only looked at the scabbard and handle of this dagger, and knew that this dagger must be priceless, and it had an extraordinary meaning to King Xian, how dare he accept it at will, and hurriedly said flatteredly: "How can Yaozong afford to be so loved by King Xian." ā€

King Xian pretended to be angry and said: "This king only said that you Yang Yaozong is a cheerful and upright person, what can you stand it, what can't you stand it." This king has given you a gift. There is also a reason for retraction. It is now useless with the king, and if you don't want it, the king will melt it in the furnace." Don't look in the eyes! ā€

Yang Yaozong was dumbfounded, and his heart said that the temper of this virtuous king was really strong and stubborn. So he bowed down and took the dagger and said, "King Xie Xian loves it, Yaozong will definitely cherish this dagger." ā€œ

King Xian snorted and said, "This king didn't let you cherish it!" You should also wear it with you, and use it when you need it! ā€œ

Without waiting for Yang Yaozong to speak again, King Xian waved his sleeves and said: "This king suddenly remembered about the riot in Yingtianfu Prison, and King Qin will definitely get news about this matter in a few days." Will he do something? ā€

Yang Yaozong pondered for a moment and said, "Probably not, because King Qin will not associate this matter with the escape of the great prince Jingmin. Now that the palace of King Qin is tightly controlled, the news of the failure of the escape of the eldest prince Jingmin should not spread. But King Qin's learning of the rebellion in Yingtianfu Prison should be more sad, because Guo Huaide, the prefect of Yingtianfu, is a chess piece hidden by King Qin in Tianjing City. We can get rid of this person in the open. So as to avoid the disasters lurking in the capital. Of course, before getting rid of this person, he must be strictly interrogated to see if any more information can be obtained from his mouth. ā€

King Xian let out a surprised "oh" and said, "Really? ā€

Yang Yaozong smiled and nodded: "Really! ā€

The imperial grandson said angrily: "King Qin, he dares!" How dare he! After all, he was still young, and when he heard the anger, he trembled and couldn't speak for a while.

From what Yang Yaozong had mastered, King Xian had already guessed that Yang Yaozong must have another hidden identity, which should have been specially arranged by the emperor. Although Yang Yaozong didn't deliberately hide him, he wouldn't ask him. So he trusted what Yang Yaozong said. Because he knows a lot of things, and the less he knows, the better. King Xian sighed and said, "That's good! If King Qin is aware of what this king has done and rebels in advance, then this king will be responsible for his death. ā€
