Chapter 038: "Tryst"

Yongqing couldn't help but be anxious when she saw that he couldn't move, but she also knew that Yang Hao was a foreign minister, and she couldn't get close to her easily.

She had an idea, thought about it, and seemed to want to stand up, but she made her legs numb and unstable on her feet, Yang Hao saw the opportunity, and stepped forward to support her, Princess Yongqing immediately said in a low voice: "Wait for the opportunity to talk to me!" ”

With just one sentence, Wang Jien put on linen and filial piety, and floated over like a white cat, Yang Hao withdrew his hand and said with a smile on his face: "Princess's Day mourning, please take care of the jade body." ”

Wang Jien said softly: "If the princess is unwell, please take a break." ”

Princess Yongqing shook her head and said in a low voice, "This princess will go to the west side hall." With that, he stepped aside slightly.

The west end of the palace is a convenient place in the palace, the emperor's relatives, civil and military ministers guard the emperor's spirit, but they can't not eat or drink, don't pull or scatter, who is a little anxious, they are all going to the west side of the palace of the grain reincarnation place to facilitate it, Wang Jien listened to it and hurriedly took a step back, Princess Yongqing walked to the west side hall, never looked at Yang Hao again.

Yang Hao's expression was as usual, he returned to his original position and knelt down, and with the shouting and worship of the salute officer, he secretly speculated in his heart: "The princess's whereabouts are so secret, what do you want to do with me in private?" ”

Yang Hao was puzzled, until Princess Yongqing came back, he still couldn't figure out the reason. Although the emperor's family lives in the big house, the emperor's family is heavy on top of each other, and the rules are strict, but it is not an ordinary family's three-room tiled house, the east and west houses live, and the house on the opposite side of the house can be heard clearly, so that the new daughter-in-law has to fart when she passes through the door.

The cause of Zhao Kuangyin's death, Yang Hao is clear, but he doesn't think that the queen, princess, and princes also know, even if they know, they haven't found the truth on their heads, in the eyes of the world, they can be regarded as Nanya's people, Princess Yongqing is so secretive, what are you going to do?

Princess Yongqing waited for an opportunity to glance at Yang Hao, but Yang Hao didn't look at her again. Now in the palace, the one that Zhao Guangyi pays the most attention to is Yang Hao, and he secretly knows how many pairs of eyes are staring at him, how can he meet the princess. Princess Yongqing couldn't figure out his intentions, and was secretly anxious, but she didn't dare to give him any hints.

After a while, Jiao Haitao came to the corner of the hall and signaled to Yang Hao, Yang Hao saw it, so he got up and walked over. Jiao Haitao whispered: "My lord, the shacklers have arrived. ”

Yang Hao nodded, and then walked out of the hall. When he arrived at the entrance of the hall, Wang Jien jumped out of the corner of the ground, pretended to touch it, nodded and said, "Ouch, Da Honglu, where is this going." ”

Yang Hao nodded to him and said lightly: "The shacklers have arrived, and the official will go to Zhang Luo." ”

"Oh......, good, good, bowl ......"

A small yellow door stood out from the side of the temple gate, and Wang Jien said: "Bowl, waiting for Da Honglu, everything in the mourning hall is complicated, and you can't leave Da Honglu, if there is anything, you run errands to report it." ”

Yang Hao smiled faintly, got up and walked out of the hall.

At that time, there was a red and white happy event, to build a shed, to usher in the send-off to build a shed, to celebrate the opening of the shed also to build a shed, this shed often with ribbons to tie wood, knot evergreen pine, cypress branches and five-color flags on it, shaped like a street archway, every year on the fifteenth day of the first month of the lantern, Qixi begging, August Mid-Autumn Festival, New Year's Day and Chinese New Year's Eve is all over the city to re-tie the color building, to celebrate, so the shed color industry in Bianliang City is very developed.

Yang Hao limped to see the shacklers who were selected to enter the palace, and Xiao Huangmen followed inch by inch. Outside, I saw a small-nosed and small-eyed philistine merchant, leading a group of craftsmen wearing aprons and short clothes, with all kinds of tools, waiting there.

Jiao Haitao stepped forward quickly and said, "My lord, this is the shopkeeper Hou, and he is the foreman of these shed craftsmen. Hou shopkeeper, this is Da Honglu, and he hasn't stepped forward to see it. ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said with a smile: "Da Honglu, these ...... They are the best craftsmen in the city of Tokyo, even if they build a three-door greenhouse, walk in the middle, pass the two doors, do not need an axe and a saw, the shed is built with a roof, there are corners on both sides, all with cedar poles to build a shelf to pull the support, and the cypress branches are tied outside. Wooden poles are not sawed or nailed, flat ground to build sheds, no digging pits, no stakes, all tied by ropes, the archway is erected, the wind does not fall, people push can not disperse......"

He said with a gesture, and a few mysterious movements that were not easy for outsiders to perceive were brought out in the gesture, Yang Hao looked at his eyes and flashed slightly, and said lightly: "What is there to brag about?" Ouchi, do you want to carry axes, saws, chisels, and saws all over the ground? It is because of your craftsmanship that you are here. Hou shopkeeper, how long and thick the wooden poles are needed, you have measured them, get them outside the palace, and then move in to build a shed, this shed has to be built from the inner court, the spirit palace, all the way out of the noon gate, until the end of the royal street, the time is very limited, what do you plan to do, go, the official pointed to the place all the way, you give the official a good talk, but there is no mistake......"

As he spoke, he also made an unobtrusive movement, the corners of his eyes sank slightly, and he slammed on the little yellow door next to him who was listening with his ears pricked up.

The shopkeeper Hou's eyes flashed slightly, and he nodded and said: "Da Honglu rest assured, Da Honglu rest assured, although the villains are just earning hard food, they are still diligent in their work, white silk, white cloth, white silk, white yarn, these applied things, the previous sheds were all from the main family, and the villains operated on a small budget, and they couldn't afford to buy many valuable things......"

"What's the noise, the royal will send you these things? Go back and discuss with Niangniang and Wang Duzhi, move from the inner court to the outside, and use no matter how much cloth will not miss you, let's go. ”

"Yes, yes."

The shopkeeper agreed, and with a wave of his hand, the craftsmen who carried the box and the cage followed in a chaotic manner, and a craftsman carried a flat burden, and there was a box in front and back, and the box was leisurely, and the edges and corners suddenly hit the calf bone of the little yellow door bowl.

There was no sound at all when I touched it this time, but it was hard to hit that place, but the pain was to the bone, the bowl screamed, and he fell to the ground holding his calf, and the pain was so painful that he convulsed on the ground. The shopkeeper Hou was shocked when he saw it, and rushed up to slash his head and cover his face and smacked the craftsman, and scolded: "You rammer, what kind of place is this, you are not careful, can you die?" ”

"That's it!"

Yang Hao snorted coldly: "This kind of place can also be loud?" I don't care about you! ”

He glanced at the little yellow door lightly, and reprimanded: "Wan'er, you don't have long eyes, and you won't be stunned and hit up?" How do you usually do things? Okay, okay, go to the side and rest for a while, and then come back after you have rested. ”

The bowl was so painful that he couldn't speak with tears in his eyes, and Yang Hao had already dragged his stump leg to the ground together.

At the gate of the Imperial Palace, several craftsmen compared and measured, Jiao Haitao pointed on the side, after all, the etiquette in the palace is still very different from the funeral of the local people, and he understands this etiquette better than Yang Hao's big stick mallet.

Yang Hao stood not far away, looked up at the apprentice craftsman who had climbed the ladder to the palace wall, and his lips moved slightly: "Are you ready?" ”

The shopkeeper Hou standing behind him still looked very obscene, but there was also a hint of shrewdness in his small eyes: "As soon as we get the orders of the adults, we will immediately start to prepare." Do you want to go by water or by dry road, west or in the city? We didn't get the permission of the adults, so we had to make preparations to ensure that nothing went wrong. ”

He grinned and said in a low voice: "No matter how bright the sky is, there are also gutters and culverts, city foxes and rats, digging doors and pry holes, no matter how good the government is, it doesn't have the ability to reach out there." ”

Yang Hao bowed slightly: "You guys prepare first, how to sneak away, I don't have a clue yet, I also have to adapt and act at the opportunity, by the way, I am in the palace, and I have eyeliner staring everywhere, but I want to see a very important person in the inner palace, you ...... Do you have what it takes to bring her to me? ”

Shopkeeper Hou's brows frowned slightly: "My lord, the characters in the inner palace, I'm afraid it's not easy to see each other, in this palace, we can't reach out." ”

Yang Hao smiled slightly and said, "It's man-made, and I may not be unable to think of a way." The inner court is also going to build a tent, I will take you to the mourning hall in a while, first recognize the person, and make a detailed plan, and then we will discuss. ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ the emperor's big line, civil and military officials took turns to enter the palace to cry and guard the spirit, although Zhao Guangyi was so busy that he had to take the lead in crying three times a day, and in the afternoon of the next day, the whole palace was already sleepy. The weeping spirit officials who came in were still a little energetic, but Wang Jien and these people were a little unbearable.

Boxes of undyed white silk and white satin were moved out of the harem, the craftsmen were busy, and the sheds in the inner court had been built, and the sheds stood there, solemn.

The prince Defang was still young, and he couldn't stand it anymore, so he was taken down by someone to rest temporarily, but the queen mother and Princess Yongqing still stayed in front of the spirit, and only rested for two hours in the middle and ate something.

Yang Hao was busy, returned to the corner of the mourning hall and stood still, Princess Yongqing quietly glanced at him, Yang Hao pretended to cough, and nodded downward. Princess Yongqing had been hurriedly signaled by him before, and when she saw him nodding at this time, she gently stepped aside and walked towards the west side hall with two personal palace people.

Wang Jien was looking at the actions of the civil and military affairs in the palace, especially Yang Hao's words and deeds, but he didn't pay much attention to this young princess, whether the courtiers he cared about were suspicious and what they did, but he never expected that the little princess in the deep palace would know the truth about the assassination of the emperor, and whimsically wanted to contact the foreign ministers, not to mention that it was not once or twice for her to go to the west side hall for convenience, so she didn't care.

Princess Yongqing took two henchmen out of the mourning hall and walked towards the west side hall, and two craftsmen came to meet them with boxes in their mouths. Princess Yongqing glanced back, and suddenly walked quickly to meet her.

When the two sides staggered by, the lid of the box suddenly popped open, Princess Yongqing tilted sideways, and poured into the box, the lid of the box was closed, and the two craftsmen were still moving forward steadily, and the two palace maids also seemed to be unconscious, and continued to walk towards the side hall, the whole process was only in an instant, and the two chamberlains who turned the corner at this time were unaware.

The spirit shed has been set up outside the mourning hall, Yang Hao got the letter, limped out to command, Wang Jien yawned, buckled the buttonhole, and handed a look to the bowl, the bowl nodded with a bitter face, and limped out behind Yang Hao.

Seeing that the outside of the palace gate was full of craftsmen, dancing and dancing, the bowl didn't dare to get so close, and only stood under the corridor, monitoring everyone who approached Yang Hao.

"The top is higher, put up a few more white silks, the door must be wider, and if you want to carry the coffin of the first emperor out, don't scrape it."

Yang Hao commanded hard, limping back and forth, and no one approached beside him.

"Hey, put down that box and let the official rest."

Yang Hao suddenly saw two craftsmen carrying the box over, and hurriedly greeted them, ordering them to put the box down, drive the person aside, and sit on it with a tired look. He watched the craftsmen build their sheds, and from time to time he had to give a few words of advice. The bowl was boring, so he sat down on the stepping stone by leaning on the pillars of the temple.

"You...... Get out of the way! ”

Yang Hao suddenly felt that his buttocks were poked with his fingers, and he couldn't help but be startled, and quickly moved to the side without a trace, only to see a small hole one foot square on the lid of the box, a small hand retracted, and then a pretty face came up.

Yang Hao only glanced down, then continued to look up at the front, touched his lips with his hand, made a deep groaning gesture, and asked in a low voice: "Princess, what is the important thing to do with Yang, and you still have to do it so secretly?" ”

Princess Yongqing said angrily: "This princess naturally has a reason to be careful, but you ...... You seem to be more careful than Princess Ben, this is ...... What kind of fame is this? ”

How could Yang Hao say that he was now the most concerned figure in the entire court, he laughed dryly and said: "The ministers also have the hardships of the ministers, and the princess has something to say, please speak quickly." ”

Princess Yongqing calmed her breath and said in a deep voice: "Da Honglu is a common person in Bazhou, at such an age, in two years, he will be ranked in Jiuqing, and he can be called the first person in this dynasty. ”

When Yang Hao heard this sentence, his heart jumped, but there was no second answer to this kind of question, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "Princess, although the minister is from a martial arts background and has not read many books, he also knows the righteousness of the monarch and the minister." The righteousness of the monarch is benevolence, the righteousness of the ministers is loyal, the righteousness of the father is kindness, the righteousness of the son is filial piety, the five constants of human ethics, the loyalty of the monarch and the minister is the first, the minister is favored by the emperor, and the promotion is exceptional, and there is today's achievement, how can you not be grateful for the grace of the monarch and be loyal to the court? ”

Princess Yongqing's eyes filled with tears, and she said in a low voice: "Okay, then let me ask you, if someone is disloyal and unrighteous now, what should you do if you are a great Honglu?" ”

"Inexplicably, how could the princess ask this sentence, is it ......?"

Princess Yongqing saw that he was silent, and her voice trembled: "You are a great Honglu...... What should I do? ”

Yang Hao lowered his head and said in a low voice: "The ministers should do their best to maintain the discipline of the imperial court. ”

Yongqing chased after him: "If that person ...... Now that man covers the sky with one hand, and a word can make people live and a word can cause death? ”

Yang Hao turned his heart sideways and said: "The emperor's grace is vast, there is today's Yang Hao, the ministers are broken bones, and they can't rely on the emperor's grace in case of emergency, the righteousness is at present, if there are chaotic ministers and thieves who deceive the king, the ministers should repay the emperor with their bodies, and they have no regrets about dying." ”

"Good!"

Princess Yongqing answered, and the face on the box was already full of tears: "Da Honglu, my father died violently, and he was really harmed by a traitor, who has now usurped the treasure of the country and is about to ascend to the supreme throne." Yongqing is desperate, and now he is turning to Da Honglu for help, Da Honglu, can you do your duty of loyalty and righteousness to eliminate traitors for the country? ”

Yang Hao changed color when he heard this, and hurriedly coughed twice to cover up: "It's a big matter, what credentials does the princess have, but she can't talk nonsense." ”

"Princess Ben is not talking nonsense." Yongqing choked up and said, "Da Honglu, do you remember the parrot that Princess Ben asked for from your friend?" ”

"Yes."

"That parrot is used to learning to speak, and Da Honglu has seen it with his own eyes. The parrot was brought back to the palace by the princess, and has always liked to stay overnight in the father's palace on the dust, last night, the parrot flew back to the princess's palace, and the emperor shouted "Now to the supreme, the second brother kills me!" 'Who else can there be besides my second uncle? Father Emperor Dragon has always been healthy, but last night he died of a violent illness for no reason, isn't it corresponding? How can a parrot, if he hadn't heard it, say this sentence in the tone of his father? ”

Yang Hao changed color and said, "Where is that parrot now?" ”

Yongqing mourned: "That parrot...... has been mother-in-law with futon...... suffocated, but such a big event, if it weren't for the facts, how could this princess dare to say anything, Da Honglu couldn't believe this princess, and she had to verify it herself? ”

Yang Hao sighed and muttered: "Good kill, good kill, this parrot will not die, and a catastrophe is coming." ”

Princess Yongqing stared at him and asked, "Da Honglu, this princess has revealed the truth and handed over her net worth and life to you, are you ...... now?" How so? ”

"This ......"

Yang Hao hesitated slightly, and Princess Yongqing had already said awe-inspiringly: "If Da Honglu wants to be prosperous and rich, you can go and report it to the new emperor now, Yongqing's life, you just take it, and use my blood to stain your future red." ”

Yang Hao hurriedly said: "Where did the princess say this, Yang Hao has a little bit of people's hearts, how could he do such a thing?" ”

Yongqing said: "That...... Please Da Honglu be consistent in his words and deeds, and wash his father's injustice for Emperor Xuezhao. Yongqing knotted grass ring, will repay virtue. ”

Yang Hao looked around, trying to keep his face calm, and muttered, "Princess, I don't know how you want your ministers to clear the name of the first emperor?" Yang Hao didn't have a single soldier in his hands, did he want to assassinate the King of Jin? The king of Jin is full of martial arts, and even if the minister has the heart of death, he may not be able to kill him. ”

Princess Yongqing said excitedly: "Da Honglu don't have to worry, how could this princess want the adult to assassinate the traitor who usurped the throne and killed the king, Yongqing wants to ask the adult to report to my eldest brother to know." My eldest brother King Wei is now in command of the army, if he knows the truth, he will return to Beijing and crusade against the tired ministers, and with the tiger in his hands, he will definitely be able to eradicate the national thieves! ”

Yongqing said, with a pair of excited big eyes, looking at Yang Hao for a moment, but seeing Yang Hao looking ahead with a blank face, she was stunned for a moment, and then she woke up and said: "Da Honglu turned the tide and made this immortal achievement, when my eldest brother eradicates the national thief and ascends the throne and sits in the palace, he will naturally not treat the adult badly, so he will be named a prime ......minister, no, the lord is the king of the county, and it is not too much to make this immortal achievement, it is not too much to seal a county king, my lord ......"

Yang Hao Muran said: "What does the princess mean is that the ministers will catch up with the army of King Chitose of Wei, explain to him the truth about the death of the first emperor, and then lead the army of King Chitose of Wei to return to the division, eradicate the traitors, and restore orthodoxy?" ”

"That's right." A pair of eyes exposed at the mouth of the box blinked innocently: "What's wrong?" ”

Yang Hao took a long breath and said, "Minister...... As a great Honglu, when the first emperor dies and the new monarch ascends the throne, how can he leave Bianliang unnoticed? ”

Yongqing was stunned.

Yang Hao asked again: "The minister saw the king of Wei Chitose and told him that the emperor had died, and the killer of the monarch was the brother of the official family, King Chitose of Jin, and His Royal Highness the King of Wei would definitely believe that he was a minister?" ”

Yongqing ate and said: "This ...... This is easy to do, the royal brother knows my handwriting......"

Yang Hao didn't answer her words, and asked again: "Even if the King of Wei Chitose believed in being a minister, but at that time King Chitose of Jin had already ascended the throne and called the emperor, the King of Wei had never led a soldier, and he had no prestige in the army. ”

Yongqing was stunned again, and stammered and asked, "Yang ...... Lord Yang, that ...... So what do you say should be born? ”

Yang Hao shook his head and was silent.

The wood has become a boat, one is to fight the world with Zhao Kuangyin, and has been the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion for ten years, and has long been interested in making friends with civil and military officials, and the power is intertwined King Jin, and the other is a fledgling hairy boy whose foundation is almost equal to nothing, plus Zhao Guangyi is about to be called the emperor, and the eldest son of the emperor does not even have the identity of the crown prince, the idiot knows who he will choose, and the blind know that he has no possibility of turning the tables.

His head shook three times, and Princess Yongqing's cheeks were as pale as paper, and she was a little farther away from the mouth of the box. Yang Hao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly remembered something, and suddenly his heart beat faster.

He thought for a moment and said slowly, "Minister...... There was a way to pass the news to the king of Wei, Chitose, but as for whether the king of Wei could mobilize the three armies to crusade against the second minister, the minister was not sure. ”

Princess Yongqing was excited, and grabbed his hand at the entrance of the cave in a forgetful manner: "Then it's done, that's it, you say, what to do?" ”

Yang Hao gently withdrew his hand, his eyes flashed, and he said slowly: "The meaning of the minister, when you act safely, first find out the will of the three armies, if the three armies support it, and are willing to follow the King of Wei to fight against it, then you might as well fight it, if the three armies are unwilling to serve the King of Wei, then ...... The gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, the incident has not been leaked, and the princess, Niangniang, King Wei, etc. will not be killed, you can temporarily forbear, stay in the green mountains, and are not afraid of no firewood. ”

Princess Yongqing said busily: "What the adults think about is naturally more thoughtful than Yongqing. Please also teach me, what should Yongqing do? ”

Yang Hao said slowly: "Princess...... There are three things that must be promised to the minister. ”

Princess Yongqing said hurriedly: "You say, you say, talk about three things, that is, ten thousand things, and I promise you." ”

Yang Hao said: "First, I want to ask the queen to draft a letter to fight against the rebellion, this letter is not only about the king of Wei, but to call on the whole people to crusade against rebellion, and the queen's seal must be used as evidence to win the trust of the world." ”

"This makes the mother and father deeply gracious, I can't wait to go with my father, just to worry about the safety of my brother and sister, she endures the humiliation and bears the burden, and does not endure, if the adults are willing to help, the mother will definitely agree."

"The second thing is to ask the princess to write a letter to the king of Wei, stating that the first emperor was killed and your situation in the capital, and the minister will hand over this letter to the king of Wei first, asking him to decide. After all, if the King of Wei rebelled, it would be difficult to guarantee the safety of the mother and the princess in Beijing, and how to make a decision would have to be decided by the eldest son of the emperor. ”

Yongqing nodded heavily: "It's no problem, the revenge of killing his father is not shared with the sky, what is Yongqing's personal safety?" What's more, once the eldest brother reports it, he will not easily poison us, and the eldest brother will definitely understand the benefits and disadvantages. ”

Yang Hao nodded and said: "This third thing is about being a minister, and this matter is going to fall on the princess." ”

"Me?"

Yongqing's chest straightened, his face moved closer to the entrance of the cave, and he said resolutely: "You say, no matter what, I am willing to do it!" ”
