Chapter 240: Master of the Acting School
Does the emperor have an edict? Isn't it a summons? Yang Zhi was scheming and intelligent, and immediately reacted, and couldn't help but be secretly annoyed: I waited for a long time in vain today, and the emperor didn't plan to see him at all!
Forced himself to press the anger in his heart, turned around to meet Ma Cheng, and habitually flashed a lazy smile: "Father-in-law Ma, how are you doing recently?" ”
Yang Zhi did not bow down and listen to the commandment, and did not even ask, but greeted Ma Cheng first, obviously because he was angry. Ma Cheng is an old acquaintance with him, and he is familiar with his style, so he doesn't dare to put up a shelf in front of him, so he only pretends to be unaware and laughs dryly: "There is Lao Houye's care, and it is okay to sprinkle the family's cheap body." ”
After all, he came to run errands to pass the word, coughed lightly and smiled: "The emperor's message: Yang Zhi, I have been busy lately, and I don't have the time to listen to you." Go back and stay honest, I'll summon you when I want to see you. ”
If you don't see it, you don't see it, do you think I'm rare? This was expected, Yang Zhi smiled and replied casually without hesitation: "Weichen obeys the order." ”
After Ma Cheng finished announcing the message, he changed his face again, and said with a smile: "The Sprinkle family has to go back to the palace to restore their lives, and the Hou Ye is really hard today." It's almost noon, do you think it's ......? ”
People know that this uncle is not easy to mess with, although Ma Cheng is careful with a stammering face, but what words such as "really hard" and "it's close to noon" make Yang Zhi feel very harsh: Doesn't this show that the emperor is deliberately fixing him today? Ma Cheng has been serving the emperor for decades, so he went home in such a gray way, isn't it really a trip for nothing today?
"Father-in-law, don't be in a hurry to leave!" Yang Zhi squeezed with a gun and a stick and said: "I've just basked in the sun here for half a day with the northwest wind, what's the hard work?" It's true that my father-in-law worked hard. Whether it is from the Jinluan Palace or the Imperial Study, to the outside of this palace, there are two miles of land, right? It's hard for my father-in-law to be out of breath all the way, and even the dust on his soap boots can be dusted off while walking. What's even more rare is that my father-in-law still has the ability to pinch and calculate, and it can be calculated that he is just in time for me to leave. As soon as he saw his face, he only said that he wanted to rush back to restore his life, could it be that he really regarded me Yang Zhi as an evil demon who should not be approached by the living? ”
Yang Zhi's observation was extremely keen, and he had already seen that Ma Cheng had come a long time ago, but he was hiding somewhere in the palace gate tower and did not show up.
Ma Cheng said embarrassedly: "Master Hou, don't laugh at the family." Even if he borrowed 10,000 guts. I don't dare to despise Master Hou. You know, the Sprinkle family is just a servant of the emperor...... ”
"Old Ma, what are you talking about? I'll just talk about it, are you serious? Yang Zhi not only inadvertently changed his name. also took out a silver ticket like a trick, turned his back to block the sight of the guards on duty, and stuffed it into Ma Cheng's hand: "I just want to talk to you, and I don't want you to do murder and arson." It's not easy for you either, it's a little tea money. Don't be too little. ”
Eunuchs are people who are not sound in body and temperament, and usually have an almost perverted love for money. Although Ma Cheng is no exception, he has been in the palace for decades, and he knows that there are people in the palace who are willing to throw silver into the water for nothing, and he has to do everything possible to listen to it.
Among the many powerful ministers Ma Cheng has seen, Yang Zhi is the most generous. The "little tea money" in his mouth is a thousand taels of silver tickets. Ma Cheng also knew that this silver might not be so easy to take, so he said with a bitter face: "The Sprinkle family thanks the Hou Ye for the generous reward, but the Sprinkle family still has to have a life to spend it." Those who can say it must know everything, but the palace has its own rules. Wan Wang Hou is sympathetic, don't let the Sprinkle family be embarrassed. ”
Most powerful emperors are not easy to serve, and Ma Cheng is not completely pretending to be pitiful. Yang Zhi couldn't help but smile and said, "You are quite true!" ”
Then Zhengse said: "Then I won't go around in circles with you." Why doesn't the emperor see me today? What were the courtiers in the early days? Who did the emperor see after the dispersal of the dynasty? What did you say? ”
Ma Cheng replied honestly: "The Hou Ye doesn't know, the emperor has never been in court today, and the ministers naturally have no discussion. ”
According to the regulations of the Great Xia Dynasty, the Mao Dynasty went to the court. The ministers had to wait outside the palace at the latest, before dawn. Yang Zhi rarely went to court last time, and he didn't go out until the beginning of the day today, which was already early in the morning for him. When he went to the palace gate to ask for an audience, the ministers who were waiting for the court had already dispersed.
Yang Zhi nodded abruptly and said, "No wonder I didn't see the carriage outside the palace gate today!" ”
Ma Cheng didn't wait for him to ask. 1510 continued: "Since the emperor returned to the palace last time, his daily life has been in the imperial study. I woke up earlier than usual today, and it seems that I didn't sleep very well last night, and my face is slightly haggard. After washing and changing. He said that he felt that the dragon's body was not good, and ordered the family to stop for a day, and ordered no one to see each other, and nothing to disturb. Today, the Sprinkle family only entered the imperial study three times, once to serve the emperor to wash and change clothes, and once to serve the emperor for breakfast. The third time was when the marquis asked to see him. It's not that the Sprinkle family intends to sell well in front of you, but if you change any adult, even if Wang Xiang, Mrs. Chen, and Xu Xiang come, the Sprinkle family may not dare to go to the courtesy. ”
Yang Zhi smiled: "You really give me face!" ”
Ma Cheng smiled bitterly: "It's not a secret, Wang Xiang, Old Captain Chen, and Xu Xiang are all working in the palace every day, when can't they see the driver?" But how many times have you taken the initiative to meet the emperor at the end of the year? What was the trifle? The Sprinkle family is afraid that they can't afford it! ”
Yang Zhi couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart: You directly said that Lao Tzu is a night owl who enters the house, and if he doesn't come to anything, won't it be over?
“…… Today, although the emperor felt that the dragon was not in good health, he did not summon the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment, nor did he lie on the couch, and he has been sitting quietly and meditating in front of the imperial case. I heard that the Marquis of the Sprinkle family asked to see him, and he said he couldn't see it without thinking. ordered the Sprinkle family to come to summon the oracle, and then told the Sprinkler family that he must wait until the Hou Ye is impatient to prepare to leave before he can show up to preach the message. During the waiting period of the Sprinkle family, there is no way to know whether anyone else asks to see the emperor. - Master Hou, the Sprinkle family dares to use a head to guarantee, and there is no half-truth. ”
Ma Cheng spoke carefully, and Yang Zhi also listened attentively. Although he felt that the emperor's behavior was abnormal today, he couldn't figure it out for a while. Qin Kongyun had already admitted that he had secretly played Wei Feiyang's wordless letterhead to the emperor, could it be that the emperor hadn't made up his mind how to deal with it? Wasn't the situation as urgent as the three brothers had imagined?
He smiled and said, "How could I not trust you?" The father-in-law is serious. It's not too early, father-in-law go back to the palace to resume his life! ”
Ma Chengru went to be amnestied, and Yang Zhi was still stunned: the emperor suddenly came with such a hand, which undoubtedly disrupted all the previous plans of the three of them. The Emperor was obviously also very troubled, what was he thinking?
Not going to court does not mean that you don't have to go to work, and civil and military officials still need to go back to their posts to work as usual. It's noon, and there is no lunch break this year. Xu Wenhan has been very busy these days, and he doesn't know when he will leave the palace and return home. Before he found out what the emperor would do, he was not busy going back to write letters to Wei Feiyang and Linglong. But now I will go back to my mansion. To be idle is to be idle.......
When he was looking for death, there was another roar in his abdomen, the Qin Mansion was not far from the palace, it was better to go there first to have lunch to fill his stomach, and then discuss slowly with Qin Kongyun!
If you don't have to. Yang Zhi never had the habit of drinking alcohol when eating. He eats a lot and eats very quickly. Qin Kongyun was still drinking slowly, he had already killed a plate of veal, a plate of chicken, a plate of vegetables, and three steamed buns like a whirlwind, and drank venison soup slowly.
It wasn't the first time Qin Kongyun had eaten with him, and he was no stranger. asked with a casual smile, "Third brother." I've always wondered, you're famous all over the world, tall and handsome, but you look like a starving ghost reincarnated, isn't it a big scene? Drink a few glasses in these seasons, as long as you don't get drunk, you can warm up your body and not get in the way, why do you rarely drink alcohol on weekdays? You come from a wealthy business, you have no worries about food and clothing since you were a child, and no one competes with you. Why gobble it up so much? ”
Did you know that alcohol can paralyze people's nerves and delay their reactions? Have you ever tasted the taste of fighting for days and nights without a grain of rice?
"If you and I are as good as two people in a duel, even if you only have a drink, I will have a better chance of winning. If you and I are being hunted down and killed at this time, I ask myself that you can last at least two or three days without eating or drinking, but it will be difficult for you to survive a day and a night. If you and I were born in a peaceful and prosperous world, do you think that you have to tense your nerves all the time to be prepared for danger in times of peace? These daily eating habits are not difficult to do, they are both affordable and practical, so why not? ”
Yang Zhi had already drunk a bowl of fragrant and delicious venison soup as he spoke. Wiping his mouth, he looked at Qin Kongyun, who was still reminiscing about his words, and asked, "Shall we go to the study of your inner house to talk?" ”
Qin Kongyun had already heard that he had eaten a closed door at the emperor's place today, and the situation had changed otherwise, so he immediately stopped and threw down the cup and led him into the inner house study.
When he knew that Qin Kongyun knew that Yang Zhi had the idea of sending a letter to Wei Feiyang and Linglong to prepare early. couldn't help but secretly pinch a cold sweat: "Third brother, as soon as your letter arrives in Feiyang's hand, he will completely believe that the emperor can't tolerate his father and son." There is no turning back when the bow is opened, and the more we are at this time, the more we must be calm. ”
"I immediately sent two groups of henchmen to go outside the palace and the Xu Mansion to block the eldest brother. Let him come here and meet him. Please believe that no matter what moves there are on both sides of the emperor and Feiyang, it will never escape the ears and eyes of my Qin family. And my Qin clan's means of transmitting news, I dare to say that it is faster than the fast horse of the imperial court's eight hundred miles of urgency. Let's wait and see! Just in time! ”
Qin Kongyun's persuasion seemed a little incoherent, but Yang Zhi's face was as calm as water: "Don't worry, I am very calm at all times, and it is not that I don't believe in Qin's ability." It's just a matter of turning around in your head so that you don't get caught off guard. I was thinking, the emperor obviously had a headache too, what was he thinking? ”
The two stayed in the study of the Qin family's inner house for another whole afternoon. Qin Kongyun's ass never sat down, and he paced back and forth countless times uneasily, while Yang Zhi nestled in the chair and closed his eyes to recuperate and fell asleep, ignoring his chattering and talking.
It wasn't until the sunset at the end of the Shen period that Xu Wenhan finally came, and also waited for a jaw-dropping news: the emperor stayed alone in the imperial study until after noon, and sent a message to Wang Yunong, the first assistant prime minister, Chen Wenyuan, the chief lieutenant, and Xu Wenhan, a scholar of Jixian Palace, to accompany him and visit Wei Su in the prison of the Criminal Department. In front of the three important ministers and Wei Su, the emperor counted the great military exploits made by Wei Su over the past decades, and bitterly stated that he had been reckless in military force since he ascended the throne and did not know how to cherish the people's strength. The two kings and ministers knelt on each other in the prison, hugging each other and crying. The emperor swore to the sky that he would not hurt Wei Su in his lifetime, and the monarchs and ministers would grow old together. Later, the emperor issued an order on the spot to release Wei Su and his family members who were implicated and imprisoned, and accompanied by Wang Yunong, Chen Wenyuan, and Xu Wenhan, personally sent Wei Su back to the general's mansion!
Yang Zhi was dumbfounded and muttered: "High, really high!" …… is worthy of being a genius acting master! (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) )
