Chapter 64: Meeting at Tianji Temple (I)
Uncle Shen Guo was still unwilling to lose the Chuzhou Naval Army, Shao Jingwen sighed secretly, the authorities were confused, and Xiangguo did not see through his situation.
"Xiangguo, I'm thinking that the emperor clearly knows that the Chuzhou Navy is your power, but why does he still give the Navy to the Liang Dynasty, this is the key to the whole thing, has Xiangguo thought about it?"
"Why do you say?" Uncle Shen Guo stretched out his voice.
"Xiangguo, I've considered it, maybe this matter has something to do with the Tiger Fu case."
Uncle Shen's brows furrowed, "You mean the emperor's warning to me last time?" ”
"I think so!"
Shao Jingwen replied solemnly: "After all, the emperor reminded Xiangguo not to raise the Tiger Fu case again, but Xiangguo did not comply, but continued to let Bao Hongwu investigate, so that the case of Longmen Town Annihilation occurred, I think this matter cannot be hidden from the emperor, so there will be a transfer of command of the Chuzhou Naval Army, Xiangguo, this is a humble view." ”
Under Shao Jingwen's persuasion, Uncle Shen's anger gradually subsided, once he regained his senses, his thinking became as clear as before, he pondered for a moment, and then asked himself strangely: "Even so, he can use other ways or other people to serve as the deputy governor of the Chuzhou Water Army, why let Huangfu Wujin, a hairy boy, take the position, and he is also suspected of colluding with the Phoenix Society, I really don't understand, Huangfu Wujin is the Duke of Liangguo, what is he doing in Chuzhou without Liangzhou?" ”
Shao Jingwen didn't think about this question clearly, and he frowned, "I really don't understand it." ”
After pondering for a moment, Uncle Shen suddenly slapped the table, "I understand!" ”
Shao Jingwen looked at Uncle Shen Guo blankly, not knowing if he was willing to tell him the answer to this mystery, Uncle Shen Guo secretly gasped and said: "No wonder he didn't allow me to do the Tiger Fu case, it turned out that he was secretly working to remove the Liang Wang Domain, so he didn't allow me to pick up the external branches." ”
Speaking of this, Uncle Shen sneered at Shao Jingwen and said: "If I am not mistaken, the emperor must want to use the contradiction between Huangfu Zhuo and Zhang Chongjun to provoke the civil strife of the Liangwang family, but the unexpected appearance of Huangfu Wujin caught him a little off guard, so he sealed Huangfu Wujin to Chuzhou, put it on hold for a while, and after the Liangwang family's military power was almost reduced, he would transfer Huangfu Wujin back to Xiliang, at that time, the emperor should return the Chuzhou naval army to me, in order to achieve the purpose of warning me, and at the same time provoke the relationship between me and the Liangwang family, With such a few birds with one stone, the emperor is really a good means, and the power is far-reaching, which makes me ashamed. ”
"Xiangguo, will the East Palace take the opportunity to use this opportunity to win over the Liang Wang family?"
"Of course! He is pervasive, this time the emperor has no Jin to transport tax silver for him, of course he will not let go of this opportunity, but he has this heart, but he may not be able to eat it. ”
"Xiangguo is talking about the emperor's side?"
"That's right! He will not let the prince get involved in the Liangwang lineage, never, in fact, not only the prince, he also does not allow me to touch the Liangwang line, no one is allowed to touch, I infer that within a year or two, the Xiliang army will be in chaos, and at that time, a new Jiedu envoy will take over. ”
Uncle Shen Guo's old spiciness, Shao Jingwen was very impressed, and he hurriedly asked, "What is Xiangguo going to do?" The subordinate refers to the collusion between Wujin and Phoenix. ”
"This.... Since you have reminded me that the emperor must be far-sighted, I will naturally not make any more extraneous branches, in fact, there are some things that are not necessary to be said, if you don't say it, you can say it, everyone understands it in their hearts. ”
Uncle Shen Guo had completely regained his calm and sanity at this time, and he also realized that there was a deep background behind this incident, and he was so angry that he was indeed out of grace, so he pulled the bell line by the window, and immediately came in with a guard, "Please Xiangguo command!" ”
"I went to inform the housekeeper, I beat my subordinate to death in a moment of anger, give him a good burial, and then compensate his family with 1,000 taels of silver, and convey my apology."
"Yes!" The guards immediately went down.
Uncle Shen Guo smiled at Shao Jingwen again: "No one dares to persuade me this time, thanks to you for taking the risk to come, I have written down this credit." ”
Shao Jingwen hurriedly bowed down and said: "My subordinates searched the palace of Lanling County last night, but they didn't catch the Phoenix Society, and their subordinates are guilty and don't dare to accept Xiangguo's reward." ”
"What happened last night has nothing to do with you, it's that they are too shrewd and ran away in advance, your suggestions and methods are very clever, not only will I not punish you, but I will also remember your effective advice last night, you have worked hard these days, you go back and have a good rest, I don't plan to provoke the Liang Wang family for the time being, including Huangfu Wujin, I will wait and see what happens."
Shao Jingwen bowed and retreated, and Uncle Shen Guo calculated for a while, and then returned to the inner courtyard, he didn't sleep all night last night, and he was really tired.
........ Wujin left the palace of the Queen Mother and followed Huangfu Jiang back to his home, it was already dusk, and at this time, the seal of the Duke of Liangguo had been sent, and the engraving of the seal meant that he had officially obtained the title of Duke of Liangguo.
In the room, Wu Jin fiddled with his gold seal, the seal was square, and at the top was a golden unicorn with a long roar, which was the head of the duke's beast, gold for the country, silver for the county, and bronze for the county.
He didn't have much interest in the dukedom of this country, but he was quite interested in the deputy governor of the Chuzhou Navy Army, this is a real power, and he is in charge of the East China Sea Army, what does this mean to the Phoenix Society?
Wu Jin lay on his chair and closed his eyes to ponder this question, since he embarked on this path of no return, he had not calmed down to think about what he should do?
According to Huangfu Jiang's statement, the Phoenix Society and the Xiliang Army will be his forces, relatively speaking, he values the Phoenix Society more, after all, the Xiliang Army is the imperial army, it is difficult to read, and the imperial court can also send troops to attack, and the Phoenix Society is different, it is located overseas, the reading power has been forty years, and it can almost read the power into a country, but the strength is slightly weaker, and he can take advantage of this opportunity to serve as the governor of the navy, so that the Phoenix Society can get a big development.
Thinking of this, Wu Jin sighed slightly, in fact, no matter whether it is the Xiliang Army or the Phoenix Society, it is not the point to pay attention to which end, the key is how much support he has for himself?
This is the focus of Wu Jin's concern, although Huang Fu Jiang said that everyone will wholeheartedly serve him as the master, and everything belongs to Prince Tianfeng, that is, it belongs to him, but Wu Jin still has a lot of doubts, Zhang Chongjun controls 200,000 Xiliang troops, will he destroy his future for an ideal that is almost impossible to realize, and betray the imperial court?
There are also three generations of the Chen family, who have been running Ryukyu Island for nearly 40 years and have created a family foundation, can they give this foundation to themselves?
It is said that there are other forces, but no matter which side of the force, forty years have passed, and they all have children and grandchildren, so let them give up the interests of their families and give themselves the foundation that they have worked hard for forty years.
Maybe even Huangfu Jiang himself is not confident, so he is reluctant to tell him the details of the six warriors of Jin'an.
The six warriors of Jin'an, he now knows three, his master Yu Xuan, the Taoist priest of the wine, Chen Zhiduo, the master of the Phoenix Society, Huiming, the abbot of Cumulus Temple, and the other three He didn't know, since they were the lord, they should come to see him, but there was no news from them at all.
Wu Jin thought about it for more than an hour, his heart was disorganized and there was no clue, and then he suddenly remembered that he and Jiutian would have a date tomorrow, and he almost forgot about it.
Wu Jin couldn't help patting his forehead, at this time, he didn't think about the love between men and women at all, how could he go on a date?
Of course, if you go, you must go, and I don't know if you can come out in nine days.
........ The imperial court officially issued an order today, and Su Xun served as the chief examiner of this year's Jinshi Department by the Guozi priest, and the decree was given, according to the principle of avoidance, Su Xun and the two deputy examiners should be isolated, and in the afternoon of the same day, Su Xun did not return to the house, and lived directly in the imperial city, and did not return to the house until after the list was issued, and he would not return to his home.
When the news came out, the Su Mansion suddenly quieted down, and the nearly 100 scholars who were waiting outside the Mansion also left disappointed, and the Su Mansion returned to its former tranquility.
But there was still something not very quiet in Su Fu, Su Xun's granddaughter Su Yi woke up early in the morning and called her mother away, "Mother, it's terrible, I had a nightmare last night!" ”
She pulled her mother and shouted in horror, and Mrs. Su was also taken aback by his fright, "Daughter, what dream did you have?" ”
"Mother, I dreamed that a few arhats scolded me for not respecting the Buddha and wanted to push me to the eighteenth layer of hell."
Su Yi was scared and wanted to cry, but Mrs. Su was so frightened that she was at a loss, she had always believed in Buddhism, and she was convinced of this kind of dream, she hurriedly said: "Then what should I do?" We should go to the temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha to appease the Buddha's resentment! ”
Mrs. Su suddenly remembered that she had not been available for the past two days, and she had already made an appointment to meet with several ladies, what should I do?
"Yi'er, why don't I accompany you to Anlong Temple the day after tomorrow, when my mother was in the capital, I often went there to burn incense."
"Mother, I dreamed that the Arhat seemed to come in from outside the west gate of the city, and Anlong Temple is in the south of the city, and it is in the city, I'm afraid it won't work!"
"West of the city?"
Mrs. Su thought for a while, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "Could it be Tianji Temple?" By the way, the most famous temple outside the West City is Tianji Temple, Yi'er, the Arhat in your dream must be from Tianji Temple. ”
Su Yi scratched her head, "It seems that I heard Sister Han say, mother, or tomorrow I will let Sister Han accompany me to burn incense in Tianji Temple!" I don't want to wait until the day after tomorrow, mother, okay! ”
Su Yi took her mother's hand and coquettishly, and Mrs. Su had to reluctantly agree, "I don't know if there will be time tomorrow for nine days." ”
"Then I'll ask her!"
Su Yi ran away in a puff of smoke, looking at her daughter's back, Mrs. Su shook her head, when did she become interested in the Buddhist temple? In fact, Mrs. Su did not allow her daughter to go out, because she was worried that the emperor Wujin would deceive her daughter, but if she accompanied her for nine days, she was much more relieved, and Jiutian was much calmer than this little girl, and there should be no problem with her.
