Chapter 31: Compromise

Time will not stand still because of anyone or anything, and the fourth day of September will come as promised.

Regarding the matter of the crown prince Zhu Youxiao's tantrum last night, no one else in the entire palace knew about it except for Wang An, the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, as if it had never happened, and there was no ripple.

Straw Hat Hutong is a famous place in the capital, because it is a place where many nobles live, hereditary nobles, and officials of the dynasty, and so on. Although Yang Lian is also an official, his official position is only a household department, and he is not qualified to live here, not only because the house here is expensive, but also because of the customary rules in the officialdom.

The feng shui of běijing city is rich in the east and noble in the west, cheap in the south and poor in the north, and most of the people who live in the east of the city are businessmen and rich people. However, the merchants at this time were not like later generations, their social status was not high, so they could only live in the east city, and no matter how rich they were, they did not dare to live in the west city. Xicheng is full of dignitaries, officials in Beijing, hereditary nobles, and even many princes' mansions in Beijing are here. Most of the people who live in Nancheng are the so-called lower nine streams, what Qinglou martial arts halls, and those who play tricks and sing operas, these people all live in Nancheng. Beicheng was the shantytown at this time, and all the poorest people in the entire capital lived here.

Yang Lian's mansion is in Xicheng, but the location is not too good, and it is not very big, just a small courtyard with three entrances.

On the morning of the fourth day of the ninth lunar month, there were three people in front of Yang Lian's mansion, and these three people were very special, because these three were the three eunuchs in the palace.

With the report from the porter, these three were taken in, and after coming to the flower hall, Yang Lian was already waiting here.

"Lord Yang, we have a courtesy here." Although there were three people here, there was only one person who walked into the room, and this person came to the middle of the room and nodded slightly to Yang Lian.

Seeing this eunuch, Yang Lian's brows were furrowed, how could he come here, and the body that was originally about to stand up was also done back. Glancing at the eunuch with some unhappiness, Yang Lian said: "Gonggong Li, let's get straight to the point!" What are you here for? That ri, you blocked the prince's way because the prince didn't care about sparing your life, don't you know how to cherish it! ”

The person who came was none other than Li Xuanzhi's confidant eunuch Li Jinzhong, who decided to draw a clear line with Li Xuanzhi in order to please the crown prince Zhu Youxiao, but what was originally scheduled did not happen, which made Li Jinzhong regret it, and returned to the arms of the old master again as soon as possible.

"Lord Yang, our family has been in the palace for many years, and many things can still be seen clearly, but Lord Yang, you are still young and have shallow qualifications, and many things are still not clear!" Slowly came to the side of the chair and sat down gently, Li Jinzhong didn't seem to care about Yang Lian's attitude, and still said with a smile.

After glancing at Li Jinzhong, who looked at him with a calm look, Yang Lian kept sneering in his heart, and snorted coldly: "Yang is reading the book of sages, and he is a gentleman, and he will not do many things. Or don't talk about these vain, you and I are different, I just want to know when Li Xuanzhi will move to the palace? ”

A trace of hideousness flashed in his eyes, but the expression on his face remained unchanged at all, Li Jinzhong said with a smile: "Lord Yang, Li Xuanzhi is the adoptive mother designated by the first emperor for the crown prince, and there seems to be nothing wrong with living in the Qianqing Palace!" ”

"This official has nothing to say to you, go back and tell your master, and leave the Qianqing Palace quickly, there is nothing to do with her here. If you go early, you might still be able to gain something, otherwise, huh. Yang Lian's last "hum" can be described as far-reaching and extraordinary, and he believes that Li Jinzhong can hear and understand.

Seeing that Yang Lian had already served tea to the guests, Li Jinzhong also stood up, flicked his sleeves and was about to walk outside. It's just that he just stepped out of one foot, and Yang Lian's voice came from behind.

"You also have to do it yourself, Chao Qin Duchu, who is a slave, is not a good minion." This sentence is to tell Li Jinzhong, if you are not careful, then your end will definitely be very miserable.

Li Jinzhong's body trembled slightly, but he smiled lightly and said in a deep voice: "Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi." You, Lord Yang, are not the masters of this world, and many things are not what you say, and no one knows what the result will be until the end. Leaving this meaningful passage, the great eunuch left slowly.

As if stimulated by Li Jinzhong's words, Yang Lian's beard was constantly upturned, and he put the tea bowl on the table fiercely, and scolded loudly: "Jiān 佞, eunuch." ”

The whole běijing city seems to have calmed down again, and it seems that everyone doesn't know what is going to happen, and Riko seems to be living quietly like this, but the reality is always not as expected.

On the fifth day of the ninth lunar month, the day before the new emperor ascended the throne, thirteen ministers gathered in the cabinet, making the already small court room a little crowded. In addition to these thirteen ministers, there were also Yang Lian in the household department, and Zuo Guangdou, the imperial historian of the Imperial Palace, who gathered together to discuss the enthronement of the new emperor Ming Ri.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Yang Lian was the first to speak, only to see him cough lightly, and said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will ascend the throne tomorrow, but the prince lives in Ciqing Palace, and Li Xuanzhi lives in Qianqing Palace, which is not in line with the rules." We have to find a way to get her out so that the crown prince can ascend the throne smoothly. ”

Yang Lian's statement was supported by many people, but no one spoke, and Fang Congzhe, a scholar of the first assistant university in the cabinet on one side, was also indifferent.

"Lord Fang, at this time, you should come out and take a look at everything, I believe you will definitely be able to lead us to support the new monarch." Yang Lian saw Fang Congzhe's attitude, and suddenly a trace of misfortune flashed in his heart, and he hurriedly used words to trap Fang Congzhe.

"This, this official thinks that Li Xuanzhi is the adoptive mother designated by the first emperor for the crown prince, and besides, the first emperor has just died, so we will drive Li Xuanzhi away, is it a little unkind? I think it's better to let Li Xuanzhi move a few days later! Fang Congzhe's god was uncertain, and it seemed that he had made a lot of determination to say this.

At this time, Yang Lian understood that yesterday's lobbyist was definitely not only Li Jinzhong, but Fang Congzhe also came here. It's just that I don't know what kind of benefits that Li Niangniang promised, so that this Shoufu University scholar actually fell to her side. Yang Lian always thought that although he and Fang Congzhe belonged to the Donglin Party and the Chu Party respectively, they should have the same interests in this matter, but he didn't expect that the leader of the Chu Party would defect at this time, what is this for?
