Chapter 380: Upheaval in Beijing (4)

7366

Cowardly people are always afraid of tigers and wolves, and the result of looking forward and backward is that they can't take care of it before and after, obviously, Li Zhi is such a person, his cowardly temperament has not changed because he became a prince, obviously a great opportunity to seize power is in front of him, not thinking about how to pick the fruits of victory, he is actually worried that Comrade Xiao will come to ask for guilt again, it really makes Wu Meiniang cry and laugh, I can't wait to scold Li Zhi, but Wu Meiniang is very scheming, did not bring his disdain for Li Zhi to his face, but patted his big eyes a few times with a cute look, and said with a smile: "Lang Jun doesn't have to worry, he can come, can't Lang Jun not be seen?" ”

"Ah, don't see? This ......" Li Zhi was stunned, looking at Wu Meiniang in his arms with a look of disbelief, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Wu Meiniang knew what Li Zhi was worried about, so she smiled and said: "There are no more than two things that Lang Jun is worried about, one is the trial of this military ration case, and the other is the scheduling of personnel after the trial, both of which are inseparable from Xiao Zhongshu's assistance, is it true that the concubine said?" ”

Li Zhi actually didn't think about it so much, he was purely afraid that Comrade Xiao would come to the door to reprimand, but when Wu Meiniang said this, he was embarrassed to say that he was only worried about being scolded, so he followed Wu Meiniang's words and said: "Yes, is there a way for Meiniang to solve it?" ”

Wu Meiniang smiled slyly, and did not answer this question directly, but asked rhetorically, "Lang Jun, who is Xiao Zhongshu?" ”

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, he really couldn't figure out Wu Meiniang's intention in asking this, and after frowning and thinking about it, he replied honestly: "Righteous people, it's just not pleasant." ”

Wu Meiniang gently pinched Li Zhi's arm, and then continued: "Although Your Majesty has always been magnanimous, it is the most intolerant of fraud, this time I will definitely issue an edict to investigate thoroughly, Xiao Zhongshu is a righteous person, he will work hard to investigate, why should Lang Jun worry too much, as for the deployment of personnel, isn't there all the Yellow Gate?" ”

"Ah, yes, Mei Niang doesn't say it, this palace really can't remember it, it's still Mei Niang smart! Hahaha......" When Li Zhi heard this, he was overjoyed, and kissed Wu Meiniang with a smile, grinning and laughing.

Li Zhi is proud, but Wu Meiniang is not so relaxed, although she is also smiling on her face, her heart is actually very heavy, without him, Wu Meiniang knows why Li Shimin will thoroughly investigate this case - this is not for Li Zhi's good, but to give Li Zhi the last chance to perform, that is, the meaning of the ultimatum, is to see if Li Zhi, the incompetent prince, still has any hope of saving, once Li Zhi's handling of this matter is slightly mishandled, what he faces will be Li Shimin's thunderous blow, And once Li Zhi falls, how can she Wu Meiniang have a good end, this kind of dance on the cliff is really thrilling, but Wu Meiniang can't help but be careless, and this is the most important reason why Wu Meiniang is willing to risk being found to have an adulterous affair with Li Zhi to come to the East Palace, her intention is naturally to be able to give advice to Li Zhi at all times, at this time, seeing that Li Zhi's mood has relaxed, his eyes rolled, his face darkened, and he said with a worried face: "Lang Jun, the concubine is afraid." ”

"Ah......" Li Zhizheng was happy, he didn't expect Wu Meiniang to say this, he was stunned, his eyes widened, and when he saw that the look on Wu Meiniang's face didn't look fake, he hurriedly comforted him: "There is this palace, Mei Niang is not afraid, if there is anything, just tell this palace, everything has its own palace for you to decide!" ”

Wu Meiniang responded obediently, leaned her head on Li Zhi's shoulder, which was really not thick, and her body was tightly attached, and whispered in Li Zhi's ear: "Lang Jun, how could the secret matter of the concubine's coming to the East Palace reach Xiao Liangdi, this is strange." ”

As soon as Wu Meiniang's words came out, Li Zhi suddenly came to his senses, and said hatefully: "Yes, there must be a villain's words, hmph, this palace must spare this group of bastards, and it must be investigated!" ”

"Lang Jun, on the occasion of the upcoming trial of the Xiangzhou military rations case, you must not make a big move, so as not to mess up your own position, and the concubine thinks that it is enough to make an example of a hundred people, and it is not too late to make a plan after the case is clear." Wu Meiniang had long expected Li Zhihui to react like this, so she hurriedly persuaded her.

"What Mei Niang said is very true!" As soon as Li Zhi remembered that he had been troubled twice in succession by Xiao Liangdi and Xiao Yu today, the anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed, and he gritted his teeth and said coldly: "If you want to kill a hundred examples, then take the big one and kill it." Speaking of this, Li Zhi suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "Someone! ”

Guan Dasong, who was waiting outside the study, heard Li Zhi's cheers coming from the study, and hurriedly led the little eunuchs to rush in, ran to the front, bowed down, and said with a smile on his face: "The old slave is here, and His Highness has something to order." ”

Li Zhi didn't speak, but looked at Guan Dasong coldly, with a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth, seeing that Guan Dasong's heart was empty, he couldn't understand what the master in front of him wanted to do, and in a panic, he hurriedly said with a smile: "Your Highness, you, what are you ......?"

"Guan Dasong, this old gelding, so bold, he dares to arrange this palace, hey, is it true that this palace doesn't dare to take it? Come on, pull this guy down to this palace and beat it hard! Li Zhi's face sank, and he suddenly had a seizure.

Seeing that the little eunuch on the side had already pounced, Guan Dasong was in a hurry, and he fell to the ground in a hurry, and shouted loudly: "Your Highness is angry, Your Highness is angry, the old slave has never done this, Your Highness spares your life!" ”

Li Zhi was originally for Liwei, so he didn't care if Da Song was the one who passed the word, so he didn't listen to the old eunuch's defense at all, and waved his hand and said: "Drag it down, beat, hit the palace hard!" Seeing that Li Zhi had given his order, how dare the little eunuch slack off, he rushed up, put the old eunuch up, dragged him to the gate of the Xiande Palace, pulled off the old eunuch's pants, pressed him to the ground, picked up the big board, and crackled and fought.

"Since Lang Jun has had a seizure, he can't stay any longer, in case something changes." Seeing Guan Dasong's miserable scream, Li Zhi's face showed a trace of unbearable expression, and Wu Meiniang immediately said something.

"Ah, this ......" Li Zhi was not a good man, but he was not a ruthless person, he used Guan Dasong's method to establish his authority, but he really didn't expect to kill the old eunuch Guan just like this, and then he remembered that Guan Dasong had been waiting in front of the saddle and behind the horse for all these years, and he couldn't bear to kill him.

Although Wu Meiniang said that she had long known Li Zhi's character, it could be seen that she was dragging her feet, and she couldn't help but feel a burst of loss in her heart, but at this time, her own identity was delicate, and some words really couldn't be said too much, at least she couldn't make Li Zhi feel that she was a ruthless person, so in desperation, she had to pretend to smile and say: "Lang Jun misunderstood, the concubine just said that she couldn't let her be the chief eunuch anymore." ”

"Oh? That's nature, hehe, that's nature. Li Zhi scratched his head embarrassedly, and after looking left and right for a while, he pointed to a personal eunuch in the corner and said, "Liu Shuang, from today onwards, you will take over the post of the head of the East Palace." ”

"Ah......" Liu Shuang is Li Zhi's personal eunuch, one of the old people brought by Li Zhi from the Jin Palace, he has always been astute, and he has long been favored by Li Zhi, and he has long been looking forward to being promoted, but he didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly, with his current little eunuch from the ninth grade actually promoted six levels in a row, and became the head of the East Palace of the sixth grade, such a huge sense of happiness hit, and his eyes straightened, and he was stunned for a while and then did not react.

"What? Don't you want to be? Li Zhi saw that Liu Shuang was dumbfounded, and he snorted unhappily.

"Ah, no, ah, the slave and maid have thanked His Royal Highness the Prince, thanked Wu Niangniang, the little one will be loyal to repay His Royal Highness the Prince's great kindness, and the little one is willing to go to the soup for His Royal Highness and the mother to die without giving up......" Liu Shuang saw Li Zhi's face dissatisfied, and then he woke up like a dream, and fell to the ground, but he kowtowed vigorously and showed his loyalty.

"Oh? This dog is very good at talking, hahaha......" Li Zhi saw Liu Shuang's surprised look, and immediately laughed, and when Wu Meiniang saw Liu Shuang's thanks, she didn't forget to thank herself, and she was also very happy, she glanced at Liu Shuang meaningfully, pursed her lips, and laughed faintly......

The sun is setting, the sky is close to dusk, the smoke of the cooking in the city of Chang'an rises one after another, rippling with the wind, in the afterglow of the sunset like clouds and fog, it is time to have dinner, the street is full of pedestrians who are anxious to return home, the carriage in the middle of the road is also a lot more hurried than usual, however, an inconspicuous four-wheeled carriage is slowly driving in the middle of the avenue, but no carriage dares to surpass this car, without him, just because the car is sitting in the head of the household servant Su Miao!

Tired, really tired, the tired Su Miao leaned on the backrest of the carriage, a pair of hands hanging casually at his side, his eyes slightly closed, looking casual, but the melancholy on his face revealed the master's uneasy heart - eleven days, it has been eleven days since the East Palace arrived in front of the army, and the holy decree should be in Beijing as soon as the day after tomorrow, but the current passive situation has made Su Miao never be able to ease his breath, the way to think has been thought of a long time ago, and the preparations that should have been made have already been made, But in the end, whether he could survive the current predicament Su Miao had no confidence at all, and when he thought of Li Tai, the king of Wei who was far away in Junzhou (now Danjiangkou, Hubei), Su Miao felt that the burden on his shoulders was so heavy that he couldn't breathe.

"Master, I'm home." Just as Su Miao was thinking hard about countermeasures, the voice of Chang Sui sounded outside the curtain.

"Oh." Su Miao woke up from the fugue state, responded casually, bowed down the curtain rolled up by the people, got out of the carriage, and ignored the greetings of the porter and others who came out of the house, lowered his head and walked to the study, just entered the study, and before he could sit down, he saw a figure flashing in the room, and Wan Chongshan had already appeared in the study.

"How?" Su Miao glanced at Wan Chongshan, sat down by himself, picked up a puff fan and shook it, and asked indifferently.

Although Su Miao didn't point out what he asked, Wan Chongshan knew what Su Miao was asking, so he hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down and said: "Back to the adult, the matter has been roughly investigated, and the news has been passed to Xiao Liangdi on the fifth day of this morning according to the original plan, and Xiao Liangdi really went to make trouble, but was beaten out by the prince, and then Xiao Zhongshu went to the East Palace in person. ”

"Well, let's be specific!" Su Miao already knew the general situation when he was working in the household department, but he didn't understand how Li Zhi deceived the upright old Comrade Xiao.

"Yes, according to the subordinates, what happened is like this......" Wan Chongshan said about the negotiation between Xiao Yu and Li Zhi and Li Zhi's later appeal against Guan Dasong, the head of the East Palace, and added a sentence at the end: "No. 5 is afraid that there is a danger of exposure, do you want to get rid of Guan Dasong?" ”

Su Miao didn't say anything, just frowned and pondered for a while, and then he sighed and said: "This matter is the old man's mistake, hmph, I didn't expect this martial artist to have such a hand, it was the old man who underestimated this person, hmm, is there anything abnormal in Wu and Yue?" ”

"Nope." Wan Chongshan replied with certainty.

"Hmm." Su Miao replied noncommittally, and then asked casually: "How is Guan Dasong now?" ”

Wan Chongshan replied respectfully: "According to investigation, this person has been subjected to thirty boards, and now he is recuperating from his injuries, and the position of the head of the East Palace has also been relieved, and now he has been sent to the Dining Bureau. ”

"The Bureau? Interesting! Su Miao sneered, didn't say anything more, and after thinking silently, he asked, "Can you control the catering bureau?" ”

Wan Chongshan carefully calculated it and said: "It should be possible, there is a staple food in it is a person who is waiting for us, and it should be able to deal with an old gelding dog who has committed a crime, whether you want to ......" Wan Chongshan gestured with his hand in a chopping posture.

"No need, it's still useful to keep this person." Su Miao rejected Wan Chongshan's proposal without hesitation, and suddenly changed the topic and said, "Has the prince been to the fifth place recently?" ”

"Very little." When Wan Chongshan said this, he paused for a moment before continuing: "According to investigation, the prince not only rarely goes to the fifth place, but also the crown princess Wang and Xiao Liangdi rarely go to these two places, but he is fooling around with martial talents. ”

"Hmm." Su Miao responded, stood up, held the long beard on his chest, paced back and forth in the study for a few steps, suddenly stopped, took a deep breath, raised his hand, summoned Wanzhongshan to his side, and commanded in a low voice.

"Ah, this ......" Wan Chongshan listened to Su Miao's words, and then exclaimed, his eyes widened, and he looked at Su Miao in disbelief, and was stunned for a long time, and then he said: "Can I ask Your Highness for this matter first?" ”

"It's too late, so let's prepare first, when to act, the old man will decide." Su Miao waved his hand and said, "Remember, once the matter is done, all the relevant people will be erased, and they will all hear it clearly, huh?" ”

Wan Chongshan's face changed uncertainly for a long time, and then he gritted his teeth and responded: "Yes, my subordinates obey orders!" ”

"That's good, go and prepare, time is running out, remember, if something goes wrong, you will come and see you yourself." Su Miao's old eyes sparkled and stared at Wanzhong Mountain for a long time, and then he said a word of compassion, the gloomy atmosphere in his words was amazingly strong, Rao is Wanzhong Mountain was bold, and he couldn't help but shudder, he didn't dare to slack off, and respectfully clasped his fists and saluted: "Yes, my subordinates retire." Su Miao didn't say anything more, just waved his hand, Wan Chongshan's figure flashed, and the person disappeared from the study.

"Alas......" As soon as Wanzhong Mountain left, Su Miao seemed to be ten years old, the wrinkles on his face suddenly deepened a lot, sighed, strolled to the windowsill, stared at the gradually darkening sky, and his eyes were full of sadness......

The conflict in the East Palace is a trivial matter, and it did not cause much turmoil, but at this delicate moment of the situation, people with a heart will never let go of this kind of news, and the eyes of all parties have noticed this turmoil caused by jealousy.

"In this way, this martial artist is a person, well, courageous and knowledgeable, no wonder His Royal Highness specially told him to pay special attention to this woman when he left Beijing, and he ignored this word, tsk, mistake, mistake!" After listening to the introduction of Yanda, Na Long was stunned for a long time, then he shook his head and said with a wry smile, and he was really a little bitter in his heart - Na Long had long known that Su Miao would design Xiao Yu to go to the East Palace to make trouble, but he did not intervene, but secretly added fuel to the fire, in order to completely muddy the situation, in this way, not only the King of Wei and his family could not get rid of it, but the East Palace also had to finish playing, but he didn't expect that the martial arts talent would send Comrade Xiao so easily, Naturally, Nalong's calculations fell into the void because of this, and he was a little stupid.

"Mr. Fei Du ignored it, and even his subordinates also forgot about it." Yan Da also said with a wry smile: "His Royal Highness once said that Yuan Tiangang once criticized the prince back then, saying that it was 'every time Wu Chengxiang, and Su was in trouble', His Royal Highness pointed out that 'Wu' is a martial artist, and he didn't take it to heart. ”

"That's it, this matter is a certain fault, and it is not to blame for it, and a certain person will ask His Highness for his guilt." Na Long didn't want to dwell on this matter anymore, waved his hand, stopped the topic, frowned and thought for a while: "Su Miao's design made Xiao Yu and the prince conflict, it should be for the Xiangzhou case, now I missed, I'm afraid that there will be a follow-up, hmm, I think that the 'Su' in that comment may refer to Su Miao's person, hehe, Su is in trouble, if you can pass the test, the sea and the sky?" Hey, but I don't know if this Adou can get through. ”

Yan Yan's big eyes lit up, and he puffed his palms and said, "Is it difficult to meet Su?" Su Miao? Oh, it seems that it should be ** not far from ten, and the subordinates also think that this 'Su' should refer to Su Shilang, today is eleven, according to the letter sent back from the front, the edict has passed Kaifeng, and will arrive in Beijing early the day after tomorrow at the latest. ”

"It's hard to say." Na Long shook his head and said: "Now the situation is delicate, if this case is really tried to go down, the King of Wei is afraid that it will hurt the muscles and bones, I think Su Miao will not let this case go down, there are many methods, but it is still difficult to predict how it will choose, and now the plan, we still wait to respond to all things with the same, if it is really time for a big mess, it will be too late to make a move, and the left and right will be fast, it is just a matter of the past few days, all the masters of the Yan group will be mobilized, and they will obey orders at any time, go." ”

"Yes, my subordinates will arrange it." Yan Dazi knew that the situation had reached a critical time, how dare he slack off, and replied respectfully, and in a flash, the person had disappeared from the study......
