Chapter 373: The Controversy of Zhengshuo (1)
"Where's the messenger, come and see me!"
After reading the letter, Liu Yu carefully put the letter away, looked at Cai Yingnu and asked.
Cai Yingnu nodded, turned around and instructed the female guard to bring someone to meet, because Cai Yingnu had not been instructed by Liu Yu before, so the messenger was only placed in front of the front of the general's mansion to wait, and after a long time, when the sky was dark, the lantern began to be hung at the gate of the palace, and the female guard escorted a demure woman over.
The woman looked to be in her twenties and almost thirty years old, with her hair in a bun on her head, and she should have been married. The woman walks very elegantly and quietly, chatting lightly as if she will be blown away by a gust of wind, which is not beautiful, but she also has a bit of the temperament of a young lady, not like the daughter of an ordinary peasant family.
"Greetings to the General." The woman walked over, Tingting gave a salute, and her head was slightly chin with a little bit of the shame of the woman in the boudoir.
"This lady, I don't know who asked you to deliver the letter?" Liu Yu waited for a long time, and finally waited for someone to come, and couldn't wait to get straight to the topic.
The woman said indifferently: "It's my husband who sent the little woman to the General's Mansion to deliver the letter." ”
"Oh? So who wrote this letter? Liu Yue frowned slightly, originally Liu Yue thought that this woman should be sent by Liu Liniang.
"The letter was written by my husband." The woman said again.
"Your husband...... Handwritten? ”
Liu Yu looked at the woman, it couldn't be Liu Liniang pretending, right? Otherwise, this woman's husband is pretended to be by Liu Liniang, this word is obviously written by Liu Liniang, and the purpose of handing over the letter to Liu Yu is also to let Liu Yue recognize the words on it and raise his vigilance, it stands to reason that Liu Liniang will not pretend to be a ghost.
"It was written by my husband, and the little woman was studying the ink beside me. This is what happened yesterday. Yesterday my husband left in a hurry. Just leave this letter. He said that he must send the little woman to the general's house before the 20th. The little woman had never gone far away, and she had only found the general's mansion by asking for the way, so she was delayed, and I asked the general to forgive her. ”
Liu Yuxin said that it was very likely to be Liu Liniang.
"That lady, what the hell is going on with Lingfu?"
When Liu Yu asked this question, even Cai Yingnu couldn't help but glance at Liu Yu. The current Liu Yu seems to be interrogating the prisoner, and it also seems to be revealing the bottom of the husband and wife. However, Liu Yu has now received an inexplicable letter, and it is also appropriate to ask clearly, and Cai Yingnu does not feel too strange.
The woman said: "The little woman was once the daughter of an official eunuch, and she fell into the dust in the later family road, but it was my husband who was sympathetic and ransomed the little woman for good." It's a pity that my husband is not often in Chang'an City, he is a little woman, and it is rare to see him a few times a year, about the identity of my husband. He never spoke, and the little woman did not know. ”
Liu Yu couldn't help but smile after hearing this. It looks like Liu Liniang is really pretending to be a ghost. He still remembers the scene when Liu Liniang rescued him from Xingqing Hui in men's clothes, when Liu Liniang in men's clothes was heroic, she was simply going to fascinate thousands of girls, and even Qu Ning, who was used to seeing the sons of high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the palace, was fascinated by her.
This woman should be the "secret line" placed by Liu Liniang in the city, and she should not be used to deliver news unless it is absolutely necessary, in fact, no one will suspect that such a woman from the house who stays at home will be an agent who transmits information.
"In that case, please sit inside."
Liu Yu made a "please" gesture in the direction of the palace gate, and the woman was immediately a little scared, this palace gate was originally a forbidden place, and Liu Yu would invite her to the palace gate. She didn't speak or move, Liu Yu added: "Madame don't have to worry, after tomorrow night, General Ben will find someone to send Madame home." ”
The woman finally understood that this was Liu Yu's caution towards her, so she had no choice but to follow the female guards into the palace.
After Liu Yu entered the palace, he only arranged for the woman to be temporarily placed in the inner court, and he urgently summoned Han Sheng to discuss the reasons with Han Sheng.
…………
On the morning of the twentieth day of the first month, in the palace.
The court has been fully prepared for today's enthronement ceremony, the last place of the Fengcui Palace Emperor's enthronement ceremony has been hung with a curtain, the red carpet on the ground has just been renewed, and in the direction of the palace gate, the Imperial Forest Army is also neatly aligned like a unit waiting for review. Everything seems to be in order.
From the palace gate to the Yuanqiu Altar in the south of the city, this road has been completely under martial law by the Imperial Forest Army, and the guards of the Imperial Palace and the Yuanqiu Altar are also in charge of the Imperial Forest Army, which is also a common practice. As an important department responsible for guarding the safety of the royal family, the Imperial Forest Army has also done many times in the history of the Great Shun Dynasty, and the most recent one is that Liu Yu used the loyalty of the Imperial Forest Army to sabotage the usurpation of the five princes and Li Guifei.
Liu Yu is ready to sail against the current, although Wu You said that today's enthronement ceremony will definitely give up halfway, and Liu Liniang also reminded him that the sky has changed, but he still has no reason to compromise.
Since I don't know who the enemies behind the road are, if we don't force them out, it's like pus and blood left in the body, which will worsen and expand sooner or later, causing indelible damage to the body. It is better to force them out and pull them out all at once before the pus and blood have spread. Although Liu Yu had already sniffed out some signs and noticed who was involved in this matter, he still pretended to be casual and prepared for the enthronement ceremony step by step.
In the protocol list of this enthronement ceremony, not only civil and military officials, but also foreign envoys such as the Turkic Khan's son Timur, as well as the envoys of Tibet, and even the envoy of Beiloulan, Chetu, were also invited.
In addition to them, there are all the princes and nobles, and the royal connections of the Shun Dynasty are also wide, but in the past few years, they have withered a little. Among the imperial relatives in the court, except for some of Su Yunyang's young children, only Su Yan was an adult. And Su Yan's identity is also very embarrassing, he is the son of heaven in the Zen position, which is equivalent to a former mountain tiger, and now a toothless cat.
And Su Bi, the fourth princess who was supposed to attend, was unable to attend because of illness, but her husband Chai Jin was really surprised. Chai Jin not only attended the enthronement ceremony this time, but also brought a "female companion", not Su Bi turned out to be the new Miss Ling family in the mansion. When he arrived, people took a look at this strict Linqing Marquis. If you change it before, even if the colt has an affair outside, then you have to hide it carefully, and if you bring it out publicly, you will be looking for death. People are also speculating about how long he can maintain a relationship with his "concubine", but this question probably doesn't need to be too entangled, because the current emperor doesn't have the heart to care about these etiquette issues.
When the civil and military officials and princes and nobles were gathering in the courtyard in front of Fengcui Palace, the new emperor Qi'er was also preparing in the inner court. At this time, she didn't know what danger Lu Dao was today, as long as she could wear a beautiful dress and go out with her husband to meet someone, she felt very happy. After all, this also means that she is no longer a useless little heel behind Liu Yu, and she no longer has to look at other people's faces to live like she used to live in the palace for a long time.
