Chapter 42: The Breeze and the Moon

I took the tissue paper presented by Dong Que and looked at it carefully, and while reading, I recorded some of it on another piece of paper. Dong Que has already told me what happened, although Dong Que's revenge methods are a little cruel, but in comparison, my methods are afraid that they are more vicious, so I don't blame Dong Que, not to mention that the enmity between him and Li Hanyou is as deep as the sea, I have always believed that everyone should be responsible for what they do, and I also think that instead of waiting for God to retribution, it is better to do it myself, otherwise why should I have to be embarrassed by the prince of a country?

After I sorted out the secret rudder of Fengyi Gate that could be handed over to King Yong, I asked people to invite His Royal Highness King Yong, and in the short gap before King Yongwang came, I said to Xiao Shunzi: "You say, how should the matter of Lord Wei be handled?" ”

Xiao Shunzi thought for a while and said: "I think Wei Ying is so ruthless, even if it is useless to leave Lord Wei, and Lord Wei's father and son are deeply affectionate, I am afraid that I can't do my best to deal with Wei Ying, it is better to kill Lord Wei, so that the Splendid Alliance can gain the trust of Fengyimen, I don't know what Gongzi thinks." ”

I thought for a while and said: "Although Wei Guan did not participate in the rebellion, as the head of the civil officials, he did not govern the family strictly, so he should be punished, and I think he is not completely unaware of Wei Ying's affairs, but he didn't expect Wei Ying to participate in the rebellion, and he is still optimistic about the succession of the crown prince." Wei Ying is smart, if Wei Guan is alive, then he will naturally kill Wei Ying's relatives in righteousness, if Wei Guan is dead, his father's students are old, many people will inevitably have some incense feelings for Wei Ying, but Wei Ying is also too smart, the so-called people go to tea and cool, that little incense does not hinder the overall situation, at most, it is a little useful when Fengyimen withdraws from Dayong this time. And what His Royal Highness King Yong pointed to, who would dare to show favoritism? In this way, let Wei Guan commit suicide, and there is no need to do much, as long as the guards who are monitoring him relax a little, and say a few more rumors, are you still afraid that Wei Guan will not succeed in committing suicide? ”

At this time, Xiao Shunzi suddenly made a look, I knew that His Royal Highness King Yong had arrived, so I didn't say much, got up and went out to greet him. In the distance, King Yong walked in the company of Shi Yu and Xiahou Yuanfeng, and when he saw His Royal Highness King Yong's expression, he knew that he must be in a good mood. I stepped forward and saluted, "Your Highness is tired of coming, and the minister is guilty of death." "While pleading, I looked at Xiahou Yuanfeng, when did King Yong trust him so much?

King Yong also saw Jiang Zhe's hesitant gaze, he was also a little annoyed, regretting that he shouldn't have brought Xiahou Yuanfeng here, but this person has been very effective these days, with the help of this person, the purging of the prince's forces in the palace has been carried out very smoothly, and the most rare thing is that this person is very intimate, two days ago, Jiang Zhe entered the palace privately, if it wasn't for the news from Xiahou Yuanfeng, he wouldn't have had time to play the round, so recently, he gradually included Xiahou Yuanfeng in his confidants, for this, Shi Yu and others are dissatisfied, Could it be that Jiang Zhe is also dissatisfied with this. King Yong smiled awkwardly and said, "Suiyun, how have you been recuperating in the past few days, does this king still have important things to discuss with you?" ”

After I asked King Yong and the others to sit down, I presented the sorted list to King Yong and said: "Your Highness, here is the secret rudder of Fengyimen found out by the minister, please Your Highness seize the opportunity to control these secret rudders, but it is best not to do it immediately, so as not to arouse the suspicion of Fengyimen's secret agents under him." ”

King Yong took the list and looked at it for a long time, and sighed: "Suiyun, the secret spies under your command seem to be more powerful than those in the hands of your father and this king, these secret rudder and this king only know three or four out of ten, and they have only discovered it in the past few days." ”

I heard the meaning of King Yong's words, it turned out to be the idea of wanting to fight my secret spies, but Tianji Pavilion and the Splendid Alliance are not suitable for handing over to King Yong now, after all, if the relationship between King Yongwang and these two organizations is detected, then it will be useless, in order to dispel King Yong's thoughts, and in order to divert the topic, I sat down, shook the fan lightly and said: "Sun Tzu's Art of War has clouds, and there are five uses: there is a cause, there is an inner room, there is a counterpart, there is a death room, and there is a life room." If you talk about the study of the room, His Royal Highness is very good at it, I once heard Mr. Dong say that His Royal Highness marches with soldiers, and every place he goes must summon local people to inquire in person, which can be said to make good use of the cause. On the same day, Dayong installed Liang Wan in Southern Chu, which can be described as a dead room, through Liang Wan, Dayong widely bribed and deterred Southern Chu officials, which can be described as an inner room. When His Royal Highness first founded the Guards, he set up a scout battalion in the army, which was responsible for reconnoitering the military situation and the enemy's situation. As for the anti-room, didn't His Royal Highness use the anti-intermittent strategy in Shuzhong in the past to force Prince De to rush to attack the city? ”

Li Zhen said with some embarrassment: "How can this king's ability compare to Suiyun?" He glanced at Xiahou, some things should not be let him know, so he didn't continue, in fact, he admired Jiang Zhe's ability to use the five bodies, if it wasn't for Jiang Zhe's arrangement, how could the prince lose his morality like this, if it wasn't for Jiang Zhe's arrangement, how could he mobilize Xiahou Yuanfeng and these people for his own use, and he successfully reversed the situation. Since ancient times, famous generals have only been good at using the power to command themselves, but Jiang Zhe is good at using the power of the enemy to do things for himself.

I smiled and said: "The shortcoming of His Highness's use is that he only knows how to target the enemy, so His Highness has a very clear understanding of the things around the prince, but he doesn't know much about the affairs of the neutral Lord Wei and General Qin, so he will lose the opportunity in the change of the hunting palace." Not to mention anything else, His Highness should know now that the minister has not told His Highness about some private matters, but His Highness has never been suspicious, although this is the benefit of His Highness's employment. But in the future, His Royal Highness will become the monarch of Dayong, and all the talents in the world will come to His Highness. Therefore, the minister suggested that His Royal Highness set up another division in the forbidden middle school, set up eyes and ears in the government and the opposition, and supervised the subjects of hundreds of officials, so as to ensure the stability of the monarchy and the peace of the society. ”

Shi Yu frowned and said: "In this way, wouldn't it make the people of the government and the opposition panic, and if this is the case, the person who holds the power of supervision will inevitably have too much power." As he spoke, he looked at me with a vague suspicion, clearly suspicious that I wanted to master the institution.

I smiled faintly and said: "This depends on how His Highness arranges, as long as His Highness separates the power of supervision and the power of disposal, this institution will not have the power to dominate the world, and as for whether people will be panicked, it depends on how His Highness acts, as long as His Highness does not convict people with the information obtained from supervision, then how can people be panicked, as long as it has nothing to do with the overall situation, or it is not a rebellious act, His Highness will just laugh when he sees the information, but the stakes are very high, then you can take precautions." ”

Li Zhen listened very carefully, and his eyes flashed with a dazzling brilliance from time to time, and after I finished speaking, he spoke: "This king has long intended to set up a supervision department in the forbidden area, and Suiyun is willing to take charge of it. ”

I smiled slightly, and said: "Your Highness, although Zhe is quite good at using the room, but this kind of thing needs a careful person to do, the minister has always been rough, how can he bear such a heavy burden, and the minister has recently recovered from a serious illness, and he also wants to take care of his body, such a hard work, the minister may not be able to do it." ”

Shi Yu and Xiahou Yuanfeng's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, they originally thought that Jiang Zhe wanted to control the power of supervision by himself, but he refused. Shi Yu felt a little guilty in his heart, and said in his heart, I should have known that Jiang Zhe was a person of noble character and had never had the intention of fighting for power and profit. Xiahou Yuanfeng is eyes are blazing light, this supervision department is simply set up for him, he is confident that he can be qualified for this kind of position in the dark, and this position must be a lowly official position, great power, if it is held by others, it will inevitably make King Yong worry about the fall of power, this is probably the reason why Jiang Zhe resolutely resigned, but he was originally a person on the prince's side, and now King Yong's subordinates who control the military and political power are basically wary of themselves, if he holds this position, King Yong can naturally rest assured, Because he only has one backer for King Yong, in order to maintain the rule of King Yong, he must be exhausted, dare not ignore it, and dare not betray it.

At this time, Li Zhen also thought of this, he couldn't help but look at Xiahou Yuanfeng, Xiahou Yuanfeng reacted quickly, and immediately showed a look of courage and loyalty, Li Zhen nodded lightly and did not speak.

In fact, even if I don't say it, sooner or later, King Yong will think of establishing an institution for internal supervision, I took the initiative to propose it, and I refused to be the person in charge of this institution, King Yong must have more trust in me, and King Yong will definitely think that Xiahou Yuanfeng is a good candidate, because he can only be loyal to King Yong to have glory and wealth at all. And Xiahou Yuanfeng is also a good candidate for me, although he is capricious and vicious, but he is also a person who understands current affairs, he knows how powerful I am, unless King Yong has murderous intent against me, he will never come to embarrass me.

After a while, King Yong came to his senses and said, "Suiyun, in a few days, it will be the king's crown ceremony, you are the first meritorious, but you want to come to watch the ceremony." ”

Naturally, I readily agreed, and then asked, "Your Highness, you can officially supervise the country after you become the prince, do you have any arrangements?" ”

King Yong said: "This king has already given his father to the emperor, the original Zhongshu Ling Wei Guan is suspected of rebellion, and he can no longer serve as the prime minister, and his father wants to serve Zheng Fang to be promoted to Zhongshu Ling, this king has agreed, and his father has also agreed to Ziyou to serve as the right servant of Shangshu." ”

I clapped my hands and said: "Your Highness is really Shengming, although Mr. Ziyou is a complementary talent, but if you enter the Zhongshu Province now, after all, the qualifications are still shallow, and now the people of the government and the opposition are unstable, Zheng Shizhong is highly respected, and he can control the situation by taking over the Zhongshu Order." And Shangshu's left servant shot is also one of the complements, and the current Shangshu Ling is a cowardly person, Ziyou can let go in Shangshu Province as Shangshu Left Servant, Shangshu Province directly governs the six departments, His Royal Highness can take the opportunity to reorganize the six departments, and wait until a few years, Mr. Ziyou can enter the Zhongshu Province, but in this way, who will hold the position of Shizhong, this position needs to be filled by a strict and daring person. ”

Li Zhen said with a smile: "Suiyun really understands the deep meaning, Zheng Shizhong issued a book order in his palm, which is exactly what everyone expects, the new servant, this king has already made a plan, and has decided to be served by Cheng Shu, the Duke of Wei." ”

I was stunned for a moment and said, "Wei Guogong? "My mind is full of Wei Guogong Cheng Shu's always lazy look.

Shi Yu said with a smile: "Exactly, although Wei Guogong is a little cynical on weekdays, but he is loyal, although he is a military attachΓ© to a civilian position, but His Royal Highness does not want his old man to go to the battlefield again, and in addition, it is also good to reassure the emperor." ”

I thought about it for a while, and sure enough, Wei Guogong was really the most suitable candidate, thinking that at the beginning, when Fengyimen was powerful, this old man was also a person who dared to speak up, and he had a close relationship with the emperor, and he was also a good middleman, which could avoid a conflict between Zheng Fang and Shi Yu.

King Yong said quickly, and said: "In addition, the general has decided to resign from his official position, and this king has appointed General Qin Yong as the commander of the forbidden army, so that both my father and this king can rest assured." ”

I smiled slightly, it seems that Zheng Fang, Qin Yi and Cheng Shu are the real evergreens.

At this time, Li Zhen suddenly glanced at me, and said with some uneasiness: "But there is one thing, but this king is ashamed of you, this king has asked his father to marry you and Changle, but my father is worried that you are weak and sick, and refuses to allow marriage, but you can rest assured, as long as your health improves in a year or two, this king will definitely ask his father to marry again." And you don't have to worry, my father has already decreed that Changle will be crowned the princess of Ningguo Changle, and a mansion will be built for her, it seems that my father will not force Changle to marry someone else, you are still young, wait another year or two, and you will definitely be able to harmonize. ”

I laughed secretly in my heart, I knew that King Yong would find time to say this, so as to persuade me not to be discouraged, so I made a look of amazement, and in the following discussion, I seemed to be in a state of mind, and my speech began to be a little confused, and finally King Yong had to say goodbye and leave. After King Yong left, I immediately found Xiao Shunzi and told him that the plan could begin.

In order to quickly stabilize the situation, the ceremony of establishing the crown prince was held on October 25, when Sima Jiangzhe, the king of Yong, was bedridden with a cold and was unable to participate in the ceremony. So when an ordinary carriage went out of town, no one thought I was in the carriage. I had already changed into a normal green shirt, and I played with the folding fan in my hand while wondering if there would be any flaws. Leaving when King Yong ascended the throne was a decision I made a long time ago, one is a grudge, it is useless to stay by His Royal Highness King Yong's side, there are many military and political talents around His Royal Highness King Yong, in addition, for the sake of His Royal Highness, I am sharp in the change of the Hunting Palace, not only makes Master Cizhen and others jealous, even Zheng Fang, Qin Yi and others can't help but feel cold, if I continue to stay by King Yong's side, they must always be worried that His Royal Highness King Yongwang used my "vicious" strategy, Rather than making them suspect King Yong's bright intentions, it is better for me to leave, with the identity of King Yong, there is no need to leave the shadow of a favored and vicious conspirator. So I decided to leave a long time ago, and Emperor Yongdi's refusal to marry was also one of the motivations for me to leave.

So I took advantage of the time when the Yongwang Mansion was busy with the canonization ceremony of King Yong, first let Xiao Shunzi pick up Roulan, and then took advantage of the lax guard, and left Chang'an under the response of Chen Zhi, Han Wuji and others.

Gently stroking the sleeping little face of Roulan, I sighed, the only regret is that I have nothing to do with the princess, now the princess of Ningguo Changle is noble, how can I bear to let her and me wander all over the world, not to mention that I may not return to Dayong.

Out of the Mingde Gate, I remembered the day of the body tie, after being captured by King Yong, escorted into Chang'an, I couldn't help but smile slightly, although it was only two years, but Chang'an left such a deep impression in my heart, think about it, no matter where I go, I will think about the scenery of Chang'an. I don't know how long I walked, but suddenly, Xiao Shunzi's voice floated in and said, "Childe, a noble person has come to see you off!" ”

I was stunned, I left Chang'an, except for my subordinates, no one knew, how could someone send it off, lifted the curtain, my eyes immediately froze, just in front of the roadside pavilion, a plain woman stood in the pavilion, the temples were towering, wearing an emerald green coat, there was a beautiful woman in her thirties, and a young man in her teens. I exclaimed, those three people were actually Princess Changle, as well as Zhou Shangyi and Xiao Liuzi beside her. What's going on? I hurriedly jumped out of the car with the support of Xiao Shunzi, walked into the long pavilion, and asked urgently, "Your Highness, why did you come to see him off?" ”

Princess Changle said resentfully: "If it weren't for Xiao Shunzi's telling, would you have to go away from here, regardless of the affection of this palace." ”

I said embarrassedly: "Your Highness, from now on, Zhe is a grass people, but the princess is a noble person, not to mention anything else, just the title of the two words of Ningguo, you can make the princess glorious for the first time, I-"

Princess Changle stretched out her slender hand, covered my mouth, and said: "No matter what glory and wealth this palace has, this palace only knows that there is no debt to Dayong, the father and queen mother are in good health, and the royal brother will also fulfill filial piety, if you don't dislike it, I am willing to leave with you, and live a dull life from now on, to be a loving couple of people." ”

I couldn't suppress the ecstasy in my heart anymore, I didn't think that I could take Changle away and fly away, but the emperor's seal made me retreat. The title of Princess Changle of Ningguo is not obtained casually, all daughters of the royal family may get the title of princess, but this title is only two words, and the title of Ningguo is because Princess Changle has made great contributions to quelling the rebellion, and there are only a few princesses who have received such titles over the generations. So I gave up, I didn't expect that Princess Changle would be willing to abandon such an honor and fly away with me.

Taking a step forward, holding Princess Changle's hand, I said: "Your Highness, thanks to your favor, Zhe is grateful, although Zhe is just a grass people, he will definitely make the princess happy." ”

Princess Changle's jade face was flushed, and she said in a low voice: "If I don't believe you, why should I follow you?" But don't call me Her Royal Highness the Princess, my name is Li Zhen, and you can call me Zhen'er in the future. ”

I only felt tenderness in my heart, and said in a low voice: "Zhen'er, I will definitely not fail you." ”

Princess Changle thought of the bitter love for many years, and finally today, I couldn't help but have red circles in my eyes, and threw myself into my arms, I hugged Princess Changle's delicate body tightly with one hand, but my eyes looked at Xiao Shunzi gratefully, if he didn't make his own decisions, I was afraid that I would really be alone and old alone. Xiao Shunzi smiled slightly and did not speak.

I helped Princess Changle into the carriage, and Zhou Shangyi and Xiao Liuzi got into the carriage behind, they were both loyal to Princess Changle, and they didn't want to be punished for losing the princess, so they went together.

The carriage set off again, I held the slender hand of Princess Changle, and I only felt full of joy, God, after all, it was for me, so that I could get such a bosom lover after losing the fragrance. As for how the emperor and King Yong will react, I can't care about it for a long time, anyway, I don't think I can go back to the intriguing officialdom.

King Yong, who was officially canonized as the crown prince, returned to the palace, and soon got the news of Jiang Zhe's disappearance, and hurried to the cold garden, only to see that all the guards were controlled by drugs, and all the things rewarded by King Yong in the garden were sealed. And on the top of the bookcase, there is a letter from Jiang Zhe. After Li Zhen opened it, he saw a seven-unique poem written on it.

"The waist gold has been withdrawn, and the news is common. The world wants to know the cold garden guest, but he is just a Jiangnan scholar. ”

Li Zhen sighed, sat down on the chair, and said, "Isn't it true that Gu still can't convince you?" ”

At this time, Xiahou Yuanfeng spoke: "Your Highness, there is a piece of news that may make Your Highness happy?" ”

Li Zhen raised his eyebrows to express his doubts, and Xiahou Yuanfeng said with a smile: "Just now the minister got the news of Lord Jiang's departure, so he asked people to investigate, it seems that Princess Changle went out of the palace today, and the princess only brought Zhou Shangyi and a little eunuch with her and some guards, but these guards who were responsible for protection had already returned to the palace to ask for guilt, because they were restrained, and they finally got out and came back to report." Her Royal Highness the Princess is also missing. ”

Li Zhen's eyes lit up and said, "You mean Changle eloped with Yun." ”

Xiahou Yuanfeng said respectfully: "The minister doesn't dare to make a judgment, but Your Highness, if the princess has no news, she should have followed Master Jiang away." ”

Li Zhen laughed and said: "Okay, good, Changle is finally courageous, as long as Suiyun becomes Gu's sister-in-law, Gu will rest assured, sooner or later he will come back." He frowned, and said, "But I'm afraid my father will be angry, I have to go into the palace quickly to persuade me." ”

At this time, Shi Yu hurriedly walked in and said, "Your Highness, the border pass army has reported that Long Tingfei led the army out of Mingshui Pass and attacked Zhenzhou, and the military situation is urgent." ”

Li Zhen raised his eyebrows and said, "Sure enough, I came, and immediately passed the decree that this king will personally face the battle." ”

Shi Yu said categorically: "Your Highness, this is not good, in the past, you were the prince who led the troops, so you could naturally lead the troops to fight, and now you are the prince of the country, and you have the responsibility of supervising the country, and now the domestic situation has not been calmed, Your Highness must control the overall situation in Beijing, otherwise it will be a big loss because of a small loss, and Your Highness can no longer be in danger, Your Highness's identity is already different." ”

Li Zhen frowned, the change of identity made him a little uncomfortable, and he fell into distress for a while, who else can lead the troops to fight except himself, Dayong has to be a general, but it is not so easy to choose a handsome talent who can resist Long Tingfei. Seeing Jiang Zhe's book on the table next to him, he smiled bitterly and said, "Suiyun, why did you leave at this time?" ”

At this time, Xiahou Yuanfeng suddenly said: "Your Highness, there seems to be a word behind the letter." ”

Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, stepped forward and picked up the letterhead, and sure enough, there was a line of small characters on the back, writing, "The Northern Han Dynasty will inevitably take the opportunity to raise troops to invade the territory, and those who can be handsome are the only ones who can be handsome, only Li Xian, the king of Qi, sincerely invites him, and His Royal Highness the king of Qi will definitely bow down and obey orders." ”

Li Zhen took the letter, stunned for a long time, his expression changed greatly, and he didn't speak for a long time, at this time, a guard rushed to him and said: "Your Highness, your lords are already waiting for Your Highness in the main hall to go to the meeting." ”

Li Zhen came to his senses, smiled slightly, and said: "Lonely, let's go, pass on Lone's edict, this cold garden will be closed from now on, no one is allowed to trespass, and the servants in the garden will stay, take care of everything here, and don't slack off." After that, Li Zhen flicked the sleeves of his robe and walked out, there are still important things waiting for him to deal with.

At this time, it was already late autumn, the bright moon was in the sky, the breeze was full of garden, Li Zhen walked in the cold garden, but his heart was full of pride, Northern Han, Southern Chu, wait, my Dayong Iron Rider will come soon.
