Chapter XVII
Li Yixun's nurse suddenly fell ill with an emergency, so the dinner party in the palace of Si Ze broke up unhappily. Li Yixun left the guests and ran back to the inner mansion to see the patient, and the guests said goodbye to the palace officials in charge of the reception and returned one after another.
The old nurse is in her fifties, although she lives in the palace, Judge Zhou Xian doesn't need to shy away from giving her first aid. Li Yixun waited anxiously outside the nurse's bedroom for a while, and saw Zhou Xian walking out of it, Li Yixun hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is the situation of the lonely nurse?" β
Zhou Xian's expression was not very nervous, and he said kindly: "Lord Wang, please rest assured, it is just a disease of wind, fire, phlegm and stasis, if the yang qi is deficient and the yin and cold are abundant, the blood and blood will be condensed; The lack of yin and blood, the dry pulse channel for a long time, or the yin deficiency and fire, torment of the blood, also cause blood stagnation......"
Li Yixun said blankly: "Yan zhΓ²ng? β
"If it is not strict, the pathology that can be seen by the lower officials is naturally not strict." Zhou Xian said with some self-deprecation, "The lower officials have taken a little emergency to slow down the condition, and they can be cured by waiting for the imperial doctor to come and prescribe medicine and recuperate." β
Li Yixun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said very gratefully: "Judge Zhou, please, thanks to you today, I am a little bit of a gift." β
"Don't dare, don't dare!" Zhou Xian hurriedly put his hands together, "It's a trivial thing that is not enough to worry about, how can you make it." β
Li Yixun looked grateful: "Then let's go to the living room for a cup of tea." β
"Lord Wang, please first." Zhou Xian was flattered and almost at a loss.
The two came to the living room, the slave served two cups of good tea, King Si Ze personally accompanied, Zhou Xian's face was shining with glory, would he be promoted because of his personal relationship with King Si Ze? There is this possibility, after all, Zhang Renyuan, the head of Shuofang, also has some dealings with Li Yixun, isn't this how friendship and relationships are managed? Even if you can't get immediate benefits, it's not a bad thing to have dealings with the clan.
After a while, Li Yixun asked the slave to bring a painting to Zhou Xian, and he naturally tried his best to excuse himself, but he couldn't refuse and had to accept it.
The tea room is a bit cold, and this situation is understandable, after all, people of Zhou Xian's level and a prince like Li Yixun are not of the same class, so there are not many topics. Zhou Xian is not good, he has to leave as soon as he receives his things, so he has to wait for a while before he can leave. He had a feeling that King Si Ze didn't seem to have the heart to talk to him, so he could only rack his brains to find a topic...... Alas, people say that things gather like and people divide together, and it is indeed painful and embarrassing for people who have nothing to talk about together.
After a while, Li Yixun asked again with the feeling of being speechless: "Judge Zhou just came back from Chang'an?" β
Although Zhou Xian felt that this kind of question was very boring, he still said seriously: "Last month, General Manager Zhang sent me to the court to play the matter of the Turks borrowing grain, and wrote a chapter first. When I arrived in Chang'an, I was told that His Majesty had something more important and could not reply for the time being, so I was asked to wait for a while; I didn't see the prime minister who wanted to see the political affairs hall. I thought I couldn't stay in Chang'an for too long, so I urged twice, and the reply was to let me go to Huaqing Palace and ask to see Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping directly......"
"Have you really been to Huaqing Palace?" Li Yixun's eyes unexpectedly sparkled, but in an instant, he asked casually, "Have you seen Princess Taiping?" β
Zhou Xian said with some embarrassment: "I didn't see it, I stayed in Huaqing Palace for two days and came back...... The colleague who received me was surnamed Huang, but he was a nice person and treated people very thoughtfully. β
Li Yixun said: "Princess Taiping and King Jin are both in Huaqing Palace, right?" Are they busy, why haven't they seen you? β
"It's ......" Zhou Xian nodded, it's hard to say that it hurts his face, do you want to say that because his grade is too low, he is an insignificant person, so he can't see it? He looked left and right to confuse the question, and did not answer it directly.
Li Yixun nodded knowingly and said, "I heard that the King of Jin has just returned from a victory in the northwest, and there should be many garrison guards in Huaqing Palace to show his prestige, right?" β
Zhou Xian thought for a while and frowned: "I don't think so." When I was in Chang'an, I saw that the Shence army returning from the northwest was stationed in the southern city of Chang'an, and the king of Jin did not seem to have made a big show when he went to the Huaqing Palace. In Huaqing Palace, I didn't see a lot of honor guards, and I saw several battalions of the Yulin Army, and there were no more than a thousand people. β
In this kind of chat, Li Yixun quietly listened to the situation in Huaqing Palace, anyway, all the information Zhou Xian saw was set out. Although Li Yixun is most concerned about the Huaqing Palace, he can't limit the topic to the Huaqing Palace all the time, and it is difficult for people to notice it if he pulls other irrelevant things to dilute it halfway.
Unconsciously, Li Xian acted as a small work or a pawn of Li Yixun's group, but he didn't know it himself.
It is much better to use this method to listen to the reality of Huaqing Palace than to send your own people to make a special trip to investigate, if you send someone to act as a spy in the past, it is difficult to operate, it is difficult to avoid the eyes and ears of Huaqing Palace, and it is even more difficult to blend in and observe nearby, it is difficult for you to get close to the station of the person in power without arousing suspicion; The second is too risky, if you are caught and tortured, it is easy to confess the people behind you, and people like Zhou Xian don't feel that they are doing anything for others, so what can they confess?
A relatively mature coup d'Γ©tat, the most important thing at the beginning is planning, if the people involved in the planning are not rigorous, once leaked, it is equivalent to failure, so it is called a conspiracy. The biggest weakness and inevitability of conspiracy and conspiracy is here, and it cannot be leaked in advance; And Yang Mou is not afraid that others will know, and even if he does, he can't do anything about him...... It's similar to the relationship between stealing and robbing.
Now the group with Li Yixun and Zhang Renyuan as the core is engaged in this big conspiracy, and they carefully stipulated the people involved from the beginning, and only those who need to know can enter their circle. From this point of arrangement, what they do is still relatively standard.
After Li Yixun learned of the situation in the Huaqing Palace, he immediately sent people to the city of Xishou to contact Zhang Renyuan to exchange information and progress with each other.
β¦β¦ At this time, there was also a new development on Zhang Renyuan's side, and the Turks sent a second batch of envoys to discuss the matter of borrowing grain. However, under the guise of this matter, the main purpose is to return the result of the conspiracy to Zhang Renyuan.
Until now, their affairs have gone quite smoothly, and the Guanzhong side has no idea about it, and they haven't even heard a trace of unfounded rumors, and they can't even think of it. Zhang Ren was willing to meet the Turkic envoys openly and without arousing suspicion, because the Turkic borrowing grain was not a secret, and even Anbei sent officials to report to Chang'an.
One of the Turkic envoys was a close confidant of Mo Si, and his mission was to be sent to contact Zhang Renyuan. The other envoys were still stupidly thinking about how to get the Tang Dynasty to agree to borrow grain, and thought that this was the main purpose of their trip.
Zhang Renyuan naturally took advantage of the peace talks to secretly summon Mo Si's cronies, and when he saw this Turk, he was taken aback, because he appeared in front of him exactly like a Han Chinese.
When the "Han man" saw Zhang Renyuan's expression, he immediately understood his mood, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Down is Yang My Branch, and Khan is my father." A few years ago, the Khan sent me to the court, and I lived in Chang'an for a long time in the Tang Dynasty, learning a lot of Tang Dynasty clothing, etiquette, rules and other knowledge. But I am of Turkic and Ashina blood. β
Zhang Renyuan knew that Yang Izhi had been in Chang'an as a "proton", but it was the first time he saw it with his own eyes, and he didn't listen to Yang Izhi's own admission, and he really couldn't see any mistakes in him, and his accent and demeanor were also sinicized. For example, Zhang Renyuan noticed just now that Yang and I naturally hugged his fists in a very natural way, without even disclosing the details, he hugged his right hand with his left hand, and naturally hugged the tightness moderately...... Some foreigners do not pay attention to the details when they first learn the etiquette of the Han people, only learn the likeness, and often do not pay attention to the reversal of the hand, and some of them do not know that it is an unlucky action to hold the left hand with the right hand. In fact, there is no danger for Yang I to be the so-called proton, and Chang'an has never been in the habit of using the protons sent to Chang'an by foreign khans because of war.
"Haha, I'm glad I will." Zhang Renyuan said with a smile, "I don't want the prince's demeanor to look so much like the son of the Han family, but I was slightly surprised when I first saw him." β
Yang Wuzhi seemed to feel complacent about his cultivation in this area, smiling, and making a calm expression...... I probably consciously learned from the old fritters in the court, otherwise it would be impossible for him to naturally show such a demeanor at his age. At this time, the Tang Empire was the center of the Eastern world, and the surrounding ethnic groups were proud to learn the culture of the Han people.
When Zhang Renyuan took his seat, Yang I sat down, after all, the cultural spirit of the Han people he understood was a kind of humility. After he sat down, he said: "General Manager Zhang's personal envoy said that there is a batch of Tang Army armor and weapons to be delivered to us, and the main reason for my trip is to know the place, time and quantity of the handover equipment. In addition, my father has authorized me to be in charge of meeting with General Manager Zhang to discuss important matters, and we want to know how General Manager Zhang arranged for our cavalry to be able to follow the Yinshan, Anbei, Shangjun (near Yulin) and other places, these places have the checkpoints of the Tang Army, especially from the grassland to the Guannei Plateau and the Guannei Plain, and the Tang Dynasty garrisons in dangerous places where the terrain changes. β
Yang I said with a straight face: "I have to think carefully in advance, because the person who led the troops this time is my brother, and he insists on coming with meritorious service, and we don't want to see him make any mistakes." β
Zhang Renyuan said coldly: "You can rest assured of our caution, if there is a mistake, it is not borne by the Turks, and all those who are involved in it from top to bottom, including the royal family of the clan, will definitely die without a place to be buried!" We're all risking our lives to do this, and we know what we're doing! For the century-old foundation of the Tang Dynasty, Zhang died without regrets, even if he went underground to see his ancestors and ancestors, there was nothing to be ashamed of! βG
