Chapter 288: An Unquiet Night
Liu Zongyan was silent, lowering his head and thinking about something. The fifth prince also suppressed the anger in his heart, sat down at the desk, exhaled deeply, looked at Liu Zongyan and said, "What does the prime minister think, how should this matter be handled?" ”
Liu Zongyan raised his head, stretched out his hand and pinched his beard, frowned slightly: "As the minister thinks, this matter must not be rushed, although the king of Liang has counter-intentions, but he has not taken action, now the Great Song Dynasty has just gone through the war, the country is still unstable, if he is forced to start in advance, although he can destroy the rebellion, but if the Jin State waves the army to the south again, Zhang Xianrang will also take the opportunity to attack, and the abdomen and back will be under the enemy, and the Great Song Dynasty will be in danger!" ”
The fifth prince's eyebrows were tightly locked, his face changed slightly, knowing that what Liu Zongyan said was good, his fingers tapped on the table, making a slight sound, very rhythmic.
Liu Zongyan waited quietly, knowing that he was making some kind of decision, and it was not appropriate to interject at this time. Although Liu Zongyan is upright, he can always stand tall in the court, so he naturally knows when to speak out and when to be silent.
Time did not pass long, the sound of the five princes' fingers tapping on the table stopped, a slight sigh came out of his throat, one sighed and expressed his helplessness, but also said the current predicament of the Great Song Dynasty, he clenched his hands tightly into fists, and said in a deep voice: "Let it go in advance, send more people, keep an eye on King Liang, I want to see how big a wave he can make." ”
Liu Zongyan nodded, and asked again, "Where is Dali?" ”
"Dali, I'll fix a book and give it to Duan Yiming." Speaking of Dali, the fifth prince's face softened slightly: "As long as you can leave this little county lord in Dali, there should be no problem on Dali's side." ”
Liu Zongyan thought for a while, and said: "It's just that if Emperor Dali recalls the county lord and we force him to stay, it will not be good, and this matter will not be easy to do." ”
The fifth prince smiled slightly: "What if the little county lord wants to stay?" ”
"This ......" Liu Zongyan was a little puzzled, and said, "Is this possible?" ”
"It depends on Mr. Yue's methods." The fifth prince seemed to be very confident in this matter: "This time King Liang did this, maybe it will become a good thing......"
Liu Zongyan is a smart person, and the words of the fifth prince have been said to this point, he naturally understands what the fifth prince is referring to, he is a person who does not value women, so although the fifth prince is clearly letting his son-in-law seduce other women, he doesn't feel anything, sometimes, as a political figure, Liu Zongyan always believes that a woman's marriage can be recognized as a political means.
"Tomorrow, the prime minister will go to receive the Dali envoys and explain today's events." The fifth prince yawned and said: "That's it today, oh, by the way, Gu Zhang also asked him to hurry up a little bit, Jin Guo and Zhang Xianrang's movements are also monitored at all times, the enthronement is imminent, it is best not to make any more trouble." ”
"Yes!" Liu Zongyan agreed with his forehead and said, "The minister will retire." ”
The fifth prince nodded, and Liu Zongyan went straight out of the study, looking at the bright moon hanging in the night, he knew that he couldn't sleep well this night.
In the study, the little eunuch brought a cup of ginseng tea, gently placed it on the edge of the desk, the fifth prince picked it up, took a sip, and suddenly, put down the ginseng tea, stood up and said: "Prepare a sedan chair and go to Beijing-Hangzhou Academy." ”
The little eunuch was slightly startled, the night was already so deep, and the fifth prince still had to go out, didn't something big happen? However, his humble status did not dare to ask more, so he hurriedly agreed to go out and make arrangements.
Just when the fifth prince quietly left the palace, the Jinghang Academy was already in a mess, and several imperial doctors were busy treating Yue Shao'an, although Yue Shao'an had already taken the pill given by the old monk, but because of excessive blood loss, he had already fainted.
The knife on the leg has been removed, and the bloody wound has been bandaged, but the wound on the back is a little troublesome to deal with, although the wound is not very deep, but it is half a foot long, and the flesh is turned out, it looks very scary, and the imperial doctor is sewing it with a thin thread.
The injuries on the little county lord's body are not very serious, after treatment, there is no longer bleeding, and I don't know what kind of external medicine has been applied on it, it is cool, and it doesn't hurt anymore.
However, he stood beside Yue Shao'an with a pale face, watching the imperial doctor stitch up the wound, his teeth clenching his lips, his two little hands pinching each other, and he didn't care about the pain of touching the wound, and the tears in his eyes rolled down.
Originally, when the imperial doctor was healing, he didn't let people stay in the room, but the little county lord was crying and making trouble, and he refused to go out, and because of her identity, he had to let him stay.
On the contrary, the Ruan sisters and Xiao Si, who arrived after hearing the news, were blocked out of the house, and they all looked at the door anxiously, not knowing how Yue Shao'an inside was alive or dead, but they heard that they were seriously injured and wanted to rush in to take a look, but they were afraid of delaying the imperial doctor's treatment. After weighing the two phases, he could only hold back his temperament and wait anxiously at the door.
The inner guards and guards sent out in the palace have surrounded this place, and those guards are also very worried in their hearts, if Yue Shao'an is fine, since they have agreed to help them speak, they should be fine, but, in case Yue Shao'an dies, the responsibility for the ineffective guards will inevitably fall on their heads, these personal guards, everyone knows the relationship between Yue Shao'an and the five princes.
As soon as the future emperor got angry, what was it to cut off a few heads, now their heads were already linked to Yue Shao'an's life, if anything happened to Yue Shao'an, he would only have to follow the funeral.
As a result, they hated the men in black who came to assassinate them even more, and without them, there would be nothing. Therefore, in order to cooperate with the prefect's yamen to capture the Assassins, some of these guards who had fought with the Assassins had also been sent out to capture the remnants. The people who were sent out walked the streets like crazy, and since the Assassins didn't let them have a good time, they didn't intend to make the other person feel good. As a result, the silent city of Hangzhou can no longer be quiet.
In the room where Yue Shao'an was treated, the imperial doctor finally took care of the wound, wiped the sweat on his head and pushed the door and walked out. As soon as the imperial doctor went out, a group of people surrounded him and asked long and short questions, and it was only when the imperial doctor repeatedly assured Yue Shao'an, who was lying in the room, that his life was not in danger, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The Ruan sisters anxiously wanted to go in to take care of Yue Shao'an, but were stopped by the imperial doctor.
"Lord Yue is now weak and needs to rest, so don't disturb him."
Ruan Lianmeng was a little angry in her heart, since this is the case, how could that unruly little county lord be inside, she said with a warm and angry face: "Yue Lang can't be disturbed, but he needs someone to take care of him, what can that little girl do inside?" ”
"This ......" The imperial doctor had a difficult face, the identity of the little county lord was different, and he was naturally not easy to stop, but now it seems that this is also a figure who cannot be offended.
Just when the imperial doctor was in a dilemma, suddenly, a sedan chair came over, and the sudden arrival of the five princes prevented them from entering.
The fifth prince looked at everyone and waved his hand, signaling that there was no need to be polite, and called the imperial doctor over again, and asked about the situation, so he felt a little relieved, but when he heard that the little county lord was in the room, he smiled slightly without everyone noticing, and stepped forward and said: "Let's all go and rest, it's late at night, and it's useless to stand here......
After that, his eyes looked at the Ruan sisters, looked at the identical sisters, walked over slowly, nodded lightly, and said, "This king will go to see Mr. Yue first, and you will come back later, so as not to disturb his rest due to the crowd." ”
Ruan Lianmeng was a little displeased, Ruan Lianxin hurriedly tugged on her sister's sleeve, and said to the fifth prince: "The prince is at his own convenience, let's go later." ”
The fifth prince smiled and nodded, turned around and pushed the door open, and walked into the room.
