Chapter 180: The Buddha is not compassionate
Xu Wenhan can be regarded as an idealistic and ambitious person in this era. He was still alone when he was close to his age, and he was dedicated to assisting the emperor to build an unprecedentedly powerful Great Xia Empire. The so-called scholar died for his confidant, and the emperor's appreciation and reuse of him not only gave him the grace of knowing him, but also provided him with a stage to show his ambitions. Now that the stage is about to collapse, and the ideal is facing the worry of being shattered, he also has the idea of not hesitating to break the boat.
Those cruel words came out of the mouth of an old and resourceful person like him, which couldn't help but make Yang Zhi and Qin Kongyun a little surprised. Launching it all means that everyone will tear off the disguise of the secret war and openly carry out a bloody mutiny to seize the throne. The current preparations are far from sufficient, and I believe that neither side has the confidence to take the lead in attacking.
Of course, Xu Wenhan was not unclear about the current situation, and said with a heavy face: "I'm not hot-headed and impulsive. The prince has already seized the opportunity, as long as he retreats slightly at the time of this confrontation, he will become more and more passive step by step, and it is almost impossible to recover the situation and gain the upper hand. The only way to do this is to hold on to the heart of the jade and burn it, and not give an inch to it. In case it develops into a fierce battle between the two sides, the success or failure of the victory or defeat will have to settle the destiny of each other! ”
Qin Kongyun said solemnly: "Since that's the case, I have to make some arrangements when I go back later." ”
Yang Zhi also agreed: "The sky has eyes, and life is determined by man." After Brother Chang returns, I will send him to send Geng Chao a blank military order, so that Geng Chao can see the opportunity tomorrow and find an excuse to kill Zhang Tianxing if necessary. If Wei Su openly turns his face tomorrow, it will not be difficult for me to get out confidently, and when the time comes, I will rely on Geng Chao to respond, and I will have to forcibly take over the forbidden army with the imperial gold medal. ”
"The prince goes against the heavens and destroys people, the heavens will hate it, and the heavens will punish him!" Xu Wenhan solemnly arched his hand and said, "Third brother, let's see you tomorrow!" ”
Not long after Xu Wenhan and Qin Kongyun said goodbye and left, Chang San came back to resume his life, but his expression was slightly uneasy: "Master Hou, what you have explained." The villain has done as you commanded. There is one thing you need to pay attention to, because of the villain's incompetence, he just entered and exited the Hou Mansion and failed to escape the eyes and ears of the guards on duty, and someone secretly followed him. But the villain does not reveal either destination. He didn't show his skills. ”
Night stealth is Chang San's housekeeping skill, if he doesn't even have this anti-tracking ability, wouldn't he be a professional killer for many years in vain?
Yang Zhi said disapprerovingly: "If you don't stare me to death, and if you don't stare the entire Hou Mansion into an airtight air, how can Wei Su sleep peacefully?" Are so many inner court guards all decorations for eating dry food? It's hard enough for you. ”
Yang Zhi has never deliberately hidden anything from Chang San. After giving a rough idea of the plan of the three brothers, he took out a blank military order and handed it to him, and explained the words to Geng Chao word by word: "My every move is even more eye-catching, so I have to work hard Brother Chang again and again." You don't have to come back to your life when you go home later, just go back to rest after knocking three times outside the window. How the situation will change tomorrow is only God knows. Now you are the only person I can trust and use, so the safety of my old man and my two ladies can only be entrusted to you. I will say hello to them early tomorrow morning and tell them not to stay too far away from each other so that they can take care of each other. ”
Yang Zhi's words were a bit of a sense of mutual trust in the future, and Chang San was stunned for a moment. Fell to his knees and said: "Master Hou, if the two parties turn their faces and start moving, the situation will be extremely dangerous!" It's not that the villain is greedy for life and afraid of death, and it's nothing if I fight for my life, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to protect the old lady and the two ladies with my own strength! Please forgive the villain for saying bluntly, just in case, why don't you find an excuse and send the old lady and the two ladies out of the city tomorrow as soon as possible? I believe that with the great name of the Hou Ye and the royal gold medal in his hand, the guards in the palace and the defenders of the city gate dare not stop it! ”
"Brother Chang, please hurry up, the situation may not be as serious as you think." Yang Zhi helped Chang San up and said, "Why haven't I thought about it like this?" Old Xu Gang said that the two sides may do it tomorrow. I came up with the idea of sending them out of the city for a while in the name of paying homage to the martyrs' shrine. But how far can an old man over the age of sixtieth and two pot-bellied pregnant women go in half a day? If someone wants to chase and kill, where can they go? I thought about it carefully, but I still dismissed this idea. ”
Hehe laughed dryly, "If I really did that." Doesn't it mean that I have plans to do it? People who don't want to do it will be forced to do it. Moreover, it is also tantamount to showing weakness to others. Those who have relatives and dependents in Chang'an are not only me, Yang Zhi. If anyone dares to hurt my family in the first place, I will pay it back a hundredfold! Wouldn't they have thought of this verse? What's more, those who dare to change the dynasty are not talented and wise people who are old in calculations. If I win, I will only threaten the lives of my family. In an attempt to force me to redeem the defeat. If I am defeated, I will make their lives a condition in an attempt to persuade me to surrender and take them for my own use. Speaking of which, blatantly harming my family's lives is tantamount to forcing me to become a mortal enemy of the heavens, which is undoubtedly the most stupid. To put it bluntly, this matter is the same as doing business, there is no 10,000 percent of a business in this world that makes money without losing money, and there are always some risks. You just said it just in case, so you don't have to think too much about it. ”
Chang San was skeptical of Yang Zhi's words, and said: "Since Master Hou is so trusted, I have nothing to say. I can only say that the villain's life has already been handed over to the Hou Ye, and if the old lady and the two ladies have any mistakes, I will apologize with death. ”
Yang Zhi smiled bitterly: "Your life is your own, why bother to promise others easily?" As long as the other party has no intention of harming their lives, you can do your best, and there is no need to fight to the death. ”
After thinking about it for a while, he told Chang San about the incision agreed with Qin Kongyun, and drew a graphic of the special mark of the Qin clan to him carefully: "My second brother is also secretly protected by someone in the Hou Mansion, and I don't know how many people there are." If you can say the incision at the same time, you can absolutely trust the reporter. The Qin clan's tentacles spread to every corner of Chang'an, and hiding in the city with them in an emergency is far better than going out of the city for a while. -- The time has passed, and the time is not early, so you can go on another trip! ”
"Wait!" When Chang San went out, Yang Zhi suddenly stopped him again, frowned and asked, "Brother Chang, how does Liu Er's martial arts and adaptability compare to yours?" ”
"My martial arts skills are on par, and my ability to adapt to changes is slightly better than mine. Master Hou, what's wrong? ”
"Oh, I'm just asking. …… Go and come back! ”
After Chang San retreated, Yang Zhi called Ah Fu to call a few servants and maids to collect the wine and food and clean up a little, sipping the fragrant Longjing, leaning on the warm couch in a daze.
In the past few days, as long as Yang Zhi's mind has a little free, there are actually two things that make him feel faintly irritable in his heart: it has been more than half a month since he left Penglai on December 14 and returned to Beijing in a hurry. Whether it was Liu Er, who was sent to search for the emperor's traces, or Linglong, who stayed on Dangji Island to purge pirates, they were all familiar with the operation of the Qin Clan's intelligence network, and they were still not heard from at this time!
If the Chang'an in front of you is a foggy chaos. Then an emperor who is alive and well, is the strong wind that can clear the fog in an instant. What kind of bird did the emperor become sick? If Linglong can't hold back and let the three groups of pirates revert to their old ways, and even let Yingniang and Xiong Zhan drive out of the Beiyan Sea, then what's the point of everything I did in Chang'an? What the are you doing here?
I got up and paced in the depressed room for a while, and it was useless to think about it. Forced to restrain his chaotic mind and sat down in front of the bookcase, and worked hard to study the ink and paper. Began to write a note on the impeachment of Zhao Tianyang.
On that day, the Golden Palace fiercely debated that the destruction of An Guihou was one of Yang Zhi's famous works, and he was originally very good at it. Concocting such a thing is purely to have a high-sounding excuse to fire at Zhao Tianyang, so as not to become famous, of course, there is no need to pay attention to any strict logic. According to the general structure of the rhetoric in front of Zhao Qi, he tried his best to frame the frame, how exaggerated and vicious he was, and sprinkled thousands of words without adding a little bit of it. Without even looking at it again, the ink was hastily dried and sealed with fire paint according to the rules.
When it was time to finish writing the recital, I didn't bother to go back to the wing room to rest, and my mind was still messy and I slept on the warm couch and clothes in the study. When I slept until about ugly time, I heard a few soft noises outside the window in the haze. Knowing that Chang San was back, he was relieved to sleep soundly.
The next day is the 29th day of the lunar month, also known as the Little Chinese New Year's Eve. According to folk customs, incense should be burned outdoors, called heavenly incense, and it usually lasts until the first day of the first lunar month. Qualified people want to hold a sumptuous banquet, and people visit back and forth to call their farewell year. A dignitary like Yang Fu will naturally not be sloppy in this pomp.
Yang Zhi woke up because he had something in mind, and he was awakened by the busy footsteps of the servants and maids in the house when the sky was still bright. When I looked up and saw that the copper kettle in the room was missing, it was just the time of the day. I was bored and tired of waiting for the sky to get bright, only to hear someone knocking on the door and whispering: "Xianggong, Xianggong!" Are you awake? ”
Yang Zhi heard that it was Shen Yu. Hurriedly turned over and opened the door, hugged her into the house and sat down: "Why don't you sleep for a while on a cold day?" Why did you come to me so early? ”
"Xianggong, my father came early in the morning, and I just said that there was something urgent. I have to meet you right away. …… I didn't dare to ask Ah Fu to call you. ”
The old man Shen Zitong is here? Although Yang Zhi was a little surprised, he was not very surprised. He thought about it with his toes and knew that the old man was here for some "urgent matter" at this time. I really don't know how many catties I have, is this something you can plug in? Even such a sour old man didn't forget to come in handy, the queen and Wei Su really did everything!
Yang Zhi suppressed the anger in his heart, and said with a sinking face: "Yu'er." You go and tell this precious father-in-law, just say that the most important thing for him is to have a good year, and I have nothing to talk about with him. Besides, I'm going to enter the palace later, and I don't have the time to talk nonsense with him. If there is a shortage of money and little things, even if you take them in the house, you will give as much as you want. ”
Shen Yu didn't expect him to refuse without even thinking about it, and he was stunned not to give his father half of face, and his face was red with choking.
Yang Zhi also realized that his words were a bit excessive, and comforted him softly: "Oh, I don't mean to be disrespectful to my father-in-law. I'm doing this for his old man's good, and he will understand me. ”
Shen Yu was silent for a long time, and said timidly: "Xianggong, as long as you are at home on weekdays, I am very down-to-earth in my heart, and there are some things I don't want to say to you." …… You haven't been in the same room with me since you welcomed Yan'er in. I know you're afraid that Yan'er will be left out in the cold when she first arrives, and I don't blame you. Can...... These days you have not been at home for days, and you have barely ...... to talk to us every day. The eldest uncle and the second uncle came diligently as usual, but King Yue is Yan'er's younger brother, and he is usually the closest to you, but he suddenly didn't come, and he came last night as if he was singing. And last night, you killed a guard again, and I recently heard some rumors ...... outside. Xianggong, I'm ...... I'm so scared! ”
No matter how hearty and rude Shen Yu is, she is not a fool, and her temperament has softened a lot after she is pregnant.
Yang Zhi said apologetically: "Yu'er, I told you and Yan'er a long time ago that I was doing what I thought I should do. This will soon pass, and I will tell you more about it later, and you just have to put your heart in your belly. Oh, you must remember to say hello to Daddy and Yan'er in private later, after I go out today, the three of you better not be separated, everything is only arranged by Chang Sanyi, the handyman in the study! -- Now you have gone back to your father-in-law, so that he will not have to wait for a long time. ”
Shen Yu saw that his man's eyes were firm and he had no intention of saying more, so he didn't ask any more, hesitated for a moment and went according to his words.
Today is destined to be an extraordinary day. After Shen Yu left, Yang Zhi no longer felt sleepy. Even though he has the ability to be as stable as Mount Tai, he is not a heartless superman after all, and he is inevitably a little apprehensive in his heart. Early in the morning, there was an episode between the old man and Shen Yu, and it became more and more difficult to get it easily. went straight until the wing room was freshly washed, and he changed into the robe of the first-class marquis of Great Xia seriously. According to the agreement with Xu Wenhan and Qin Kongyun last night, I just want to wait patiently until the time to see if there will be any news from Weisu.
Yang Zhi changed into his robe and sat down, just after the end of the day. I just wanted to have breakfast with the old man and the two ladies Qingqing quietly and talk to them, but I saw Ah Fu hurriedly come and say, "Young master, His Royal Highness King Yue sent someone to ask to see!" ”
Could it be that they have all made an appointment to come to my house to catch the morning market? Is the king of Yue sending people to ask for a meeting again? What can't you say to your face last night?
Yang Zhi greeted the general slowly and methodically, and when he saw the visitor, he really felt a little familiar, and vaguely remembered that he was a eunuch serving in Concubine Mei's bedroom. When someone came to see Yang Zhi, he bowed and said, "The Sprinkle family has seen the Flying Tiger Hou!" The Sprinkle family ordered His Royal Highness the King of Yue to come and invite the Flying Tiger Marquis to the palace for a banquet. ”
“…… Isn't it usual to go on the first day of the first month of the first month to meet the courtiers in the palace? Dare to ask this father-in-law, what day is today? Why did His Royal Highness King Yue only entertain me alone? ”
"Back to Hou Ye, today is the Little Chinese New Year's Eve, and Wang Ye's order is a farewell banquet set up in a private capacity, and Hou Ye is not the only one invited. As far as the Sprinkle family knows, there are more than 20 civil and military ministers in Beijing who invite him to a banquet. ”
Yang Zhi couldn't help muttering in his heart: There are more than 20 civil and military ministers above the second rank in Beijing, which means that as long as they speak in the Great Xia court, all the people who have a little weight have been invited. The stinky boy is a real prince of the prison country, why should he emphasize that he is a private person? What kind of medicine is he selling in his gourd? Is it a stinky boy who made his own idea on a whim, or was he coerced by Wei Su to set up a Hongmen banquet? If he was invited to the banquet, wouldn't the discussion with Xu Wenhan and Qin Kongyun last night be completely disrupted? To go or not to go?
When the people who came saw him silent, they saluted very respectfully: "The prince also instructed that if the Hou Ye has concerns, he will let the Sprinkle family tell the Hou Ye a word: The Buddha cannot be merciful and compassionate to save the suffering, but people can!"
