Chapter 247: Uproar / Wave (2)
The rain in March is always not big, but it falls finely and densely, such as smoke and fog, like illusion and reality, the most evoking the time of sorrow, especially when dusk is approaching, the gradually gloomy sky, coupled with the curtain of rain and the sound of dripping water under the eaves, is even more people have a special taste in their hearts, if it is not for the footsteps of someone entering the house to disturb, Nalong is only afraid that he is still immersed in a faint melancholy - almost a year, in the blink of an eye, nearly a year has passed, this year, Facing the strange changes in the capital at this moment, Nalong's heart sank very much, and it hurt faintly, but he couldn't show even the slightest hesitation in front of his subordinates, without him, a strong sense of mission forced Nalong to persist even if he was tired and tired, not only to repay the kindness of His Royal Highness King Yue, but also to be able to show what he had learned in his chest, not in vain.
"What?" Na Long didn't look back, just asked indifferently, and didn't even ask who the visitor was, without him, there was no one else who could walk into the study room in the Yue Wang's Mansion so casually, except for Yan Da.
Yan Da is a young man, extremely young, at most in his early twenties, and his appearance is very ordinary, belonging to the kind of person who can no longer recognize him once he puts it in the crowd, his face is always stacked with an easy-going smile, a harmless look of people and animals, just looking at his appearance, he is a small person in the market, no one will guess that he is the head of the intelligence agency of the Yue Wangfu in charge of information collection, and no one can know that his martial arts have long been the first-class people today, especially the light skill of the master, almost the top, Even if Li Zhen is not as light and elegant as him in this aspect, if he wants to, even the inner courtyard of the palace that is heavily guarded to the extreme can walk up in a chic manner, but in the face of Nalong's slightly rickety back, Yan Da did not dare to have the slightest rudeness, bowed respectfully, and said loudly: "Sir, Your Highness has a letter." ”
"Oh?" As soon as he heard that Li Zhen's letter was coming, Na Long's originally stiff back immediately straightened, turned his head suddenly, his eyes flashed, his face was full of anticipation and excitement, he didn't care to ask, he walked in front of Yan Da in a few big steps, took a small copper pipe held by Yan Da with both hands, unscrewed a hidden button on the copper pipe with a slightly trembling hand, took out a roll of extremely tightly folded small notes from it, slowly spread it out, leaned under the lamp, looked at it carefully, and after a while, his face showed a trace of doubt, After pacing back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back, he sighed and said: "Yan Da, go and arrange it, let Yan San send someone to send a message to the prince, just say that the flowers in Dongyuan are blooming brilliantly, which is very suitable for spring, please ask His Royal Highness the Prince to go to Dongyuan early tomorrow morning." ”
"Yes." Although Yan Da didn't know what Na Long meant by this, he didn't ask much, just responded respectfully, saluted, hurriedly walked out of the study, and went to arrange relevant matters without mentioning it.
"Alas, a dangerous move, a dangerous move, why did Your Highness bother to make such a dangerous move!" When the geese were gone, Naron shook his head, put the secret letter in his hand to the lamp and lit it, muttering a sentence in his mouth, with a bitter smile on his face......
The spring rain enters the dusk, and when the lanterns are on, the rain falls outside the window, and the hall is full of singing and dancing. Prince Li Zhi sat leaning in the lobby of Chengqing Hall with a wine bottle in his right hand, looking at the singing and dancing in the hall with his eyes in a daze, his head resting on Liangdi Aya's plump chest, holding a jade chopstick in his left hand, casually tapping the dishes on a few pieces, humming vaguely in his mouth, looking relaxed and comfortable, only the bitter smile on the corner of his mouth revealed his empty and boring mentality - whether it is singing or dancing, even if he is drunk and golden, beautiful and beautiful, but day by day, month and month, as long as it is a person, he will be bored, What's more, Li Zhi is not a person who is willing to live his life like this, and he doesn't want to be so drunk and dreaming of death, the irritability and bitterness in his heart can be imagined, but it's a pity that he is powerless, and he can't resist his own Lao Tzu's arrangement, let alone complain, so he can only pass the time like this.
"The spring river and the spring river tide are even with the sea, and the bright moon on the sea is born together. Thousands of miles with the waves, where is there no moon in the spring river? Mingyue, hehe, when will Mingyue have, talk about wine...... Okay, okay, where is Mingyue? Li Zhi took a shallow sip of wine, casually put the half-full wine bottle on his chest, and muttered in his mouth.
"Your Highness, you are drunk, can the concubine cook you a bowl of sobering soup?" Aya gently stroked Li Zhi's slightly thin and pale face, and softly comforted.
"Drunk? I'm not drunk, if this palace is drunk, then it's fine, hehe, Aya, you've been with this palace for a year? Li Zhi reached out and pressed Aya's soft little hand, and asked with a grin.
"Your Highness, you really have a good memory, the concubine has been with His Highness since March last year, and it has been exactly one year since today." Aya let Li Zhi rub/rub her hands and flattered softly.
"Yes, it's been a year, last year today, the palace was still out of Qizhou, the beautiful scenery by the Weishui River is still in front of you, but this has become the East Palace in a blink of an eye, hehe, the world is unpredictable." As soon as Li Zhi thought of the past leisure, he felt more and more uncomfortable today, and sighed with emotion.
"Your Royal Highness likes water, why not go out of the palace for a walk, the concubines and others are also looking forward to being able to go out of the palace to relax, a few days ago the sisters were still talking about the flowers in the East Garden, it is a good time to step into spring, or Your Highness will take me to take a look?" Aya put her round face on Li Zhi's forehead, and begged for permission coquettishly.
"It's good, it's just ......" Li Zhi wanted to accept it, but when he thought of asking for a decree for this, he hesitated, he really didn't want to and didn't want to meet his own Lao Tzu, he stopped halfway through the words, and said with a long sigh: "Another day, my father's face is not good these days, and the palace has no intention of traveling. ”
"Your Highness, let's go." Aya twisted her body coquettishly, gently pushed Li Zhi in her arms, and said casually: "Your Highness, the concubine body heard that the East Garden has newly planted the Liqiong flower transplanted from the Western Regions by His Royal Highness King Yue, which is very beautiful, and its beauty is no less than the peony in Luoyang, and I also heard that His Royal Highness the King of Yue specially sent someone to take care of this flower, that person will also talk about the ancients, and talking about the Western Regions is like telling a story, and the people in the palace are spreading this matter, Your Highness will take me to wait for a long time, by the way, listen to what that person said, Isn't His Royal Highness always worried about His Royal Highness King Yue, maybe he can get some information from that person's mouth. ”
"Oh?" Li Zhi's eyes rolled, as if he remembered something, he turned over and sat up straight, completely forgetting the wine bottle that was originally resting on his chest, and was immediately drenched by the residual wine in the bottle, but he was dazed, looked at Aya with a pair of squinted eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Aya, who did you hear about this?" ”
"The concubine body was told by the deputy director of the Ice Charcoal Division, Your Highness, what's wrong with you? Why is it so ......" Seeing Li Zhi's gaffe like this, Aya's face showed a hint of confusion, and she replied a little helplessly.
"Oh? Haha, it's okay, it's okay, the palace is just asking, okay, since Aya is going, the palace is going to ask for a decree, and Ming'er will take you to Dongyuan early in the morning. Li Zhi's eyes rolled, and he suddenly laughed, Huo Ran stood up, and even the clothes on his body that were wet with wine couldn't wait to change, flicked his sleeves, and strode out of the Chengqing Palace, his steps were extremely brisk, and Aya who was sitting behind him was first full of sluggishness, and then the corners of his mouth curved, revealing a mysterious smile......
At four o'clock, it was already time for dinner, but the emperor Li Shimin had no appetite at all, and did not order the meal to be passed on, nor did he correct the folds according to the old examples, but just sat quietly on the dragon chair and was stunned, one hand tapped a piece of music on the table that had not been unfolded, and his brows were tightly locked into a Sichuan character.
This excerpt does not seem to be very special, if there must be said to be, that is, compared to the general only a few pages of the fold, this fold seems to be extremely thick, there are more than ten pages, talking about the Western Regions, needless to say, this excerpt is Li Zhen sent half a month ago in the Western Regions of the Western Regions, the content of which Li Shimin has read no less than ten times, and all the things he said have already been remembered in his mind, but at this time, Li Shimin has not made a conclusion about what Li Zhen did, After approving the daily excerpt today, Li Shimin picked out this excerpt again, although he did not take a closer look, but all kinds of things appeared in his mind one by one.
Regardless of merit or fault, right and wrong can also be talked about first, but there must always be a saying for loyalty and treachery, but the problem is that Li Shimin is not sure of the true intentions of Li Zhen's move, this judgment is not very easy to make - Anxi War, expanding thousands of miles, merit and demerit, this Li Shimin is recognized, Li Shimin, who has been in Rong Ma for most of his life, asked himself if he and Li Zhen changed places, he could not do better, he could easily change the military system, and he would inevitably have some deviant people, not to mention whether his line was effective, the key was where his heart was? Of course, Li Shimin also clearly knew that this matter could not be delayed for a long time, otherwise it would either chill the hearts of the soldiers in front of him, or chill the intentions of the ministers, but how to deal with Li Shimin had not yet thought through thoroughly.
"Your Majesty, the prince asks to see you." Just when Li Shimin was thinking about it, Liu Donghe, the inner attendant, tiptoed in and said softly, which immediately woke Li Shimin from his contemplation.
"Oh?" Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, glanced at Liu Donghe, and said in a deep voice: "Announce it." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Liu Donghe lowered his eyebrows and replied, hurriedly exited the main hall, and after a while, bowed down and accompanied the crown prince Li Zhi into the main hall.
"The son knocks on his father." Li Zhi seemed to be very interested, walked a few steps hurriedly, knelt down in front of the hall, and respectfully saluted his own Lao Tzu.
"Excuse me, what's the matter with the young slave in a hurry to see me so late?" Li Shimin smelled the smell of wine on Li Zhi's body, and then saw the wine spots on Li Zhi's body that had not yet dried, and frowned quickly, but he didn't say anything about it, just asked lightly.
"Father, it's more than half of the unitary time, you haven't eaten yet, the sons are uneasy, as a son of man, they can't help their fathers share their worries, the sons are ashamed, the father has every opportunity, and you have to take care of the dragon's body." Li Zhi kowtowed, got up, looked at Li Shimin with slightly red eyes, and said very emotionally.
"That's it, I'm not hungry at this time, I'll have dinner in a while, I know the heart of a childish slave, okay, let's talk about it, what's the matter with me?" Although Li Shimin didn't like Li Zhi's indulgence in the past year, he was still very useful for Li Zhi's filial piety, and when he saw Li Zhi so emotional, he smiled and explained.
"Father, the son of the minister here has nothing to do, but I see that the father is working hard day after day, and I want to ask the father to go to the spring to relax, the son heard that the flowers of the East Garden are blooming very vigorously, and tomorrow is not the time of the early dynasty, the son of the emperor implores his father to go to the East Garden." Li Zhi bowed down and said with a smile.
"Oh." Li Shimin nodded with a smile and said: "The palace is bored, I should go out more, but my father will summon all the ministers tomorrow to discuss matters, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave, if the young slave wants to go, then it's good to go, help me see what new flowers and trees there are, just pick some back." ”
"Yes, father, the minister will retire first." Li Zhi's original intention was to ask for a decree to go to Dongyuan, Li Shimin didn't pay much attention to whether he went or not, at this time, seeing Li Shimin agreeing to him to go, he was satisfied, and then he heard Li Shimin's words that he had the intention of expelling guests, so he didn't stay longer, knelt down and kowtowed, got up and exited the hall.
"Alas, this kid ......" Li Shimin looked at Li Zhi's distant figure, shook his head, sighed, but didn't say anything, lowered his head, took Li Zhen's folded book in his hand, opened it again, and looked at it from the beginning by the light of the lamp on the table......
East Garden, as the name suggests, is located in the east of Chang'an City, is a newly repaired royal garden, for different from the Shanglin Garden known as the South Garden, so it is called the East Garden, the area is not too small, there are mountains and lakes, flowers and plants are gorgeous, but it is also a good place to go in spring, what is more rare is that this royal garden is not exclusive to the royal family, officials above the five grades can take their wives and children to a visit, therefore, every spring, this garden is full of visitors such as weaving, high-ranking officials and dignitaries come and go like carp across the river, Faintly become a large gathering place for high-ranking officials in the Beijing Division, but today's East Garden is closed doors, without him, just because the prince is going to visit the East Garden, everyone has to avoid, therefore, in addition to the huge East Garden in addition to the soldiers of the Yulin Army who patrol back and forth, there are only some gardeners in charge of gardening, and the entire East Garden is extremely deserted.
Whether it is deserted or lively, Li Zhi has never taken it to heart, and even the flowery scenery in front of him has not taken it to heart, and when he got out of the carriage, Li Zhi did not even go to greet the concubines who were traveling with him, and even the crown princess Wang did not pay attention to it, and strode into the garden gate first, looked left and right, looking for a gardener, and asked where the Liqionghua of the Western Regions was.
Liqiong flower, native to Qiuzi, is a perennial herbaceous plant, the flowers are gorgeous, similar to peony, the flower is small, only half of the peony, but different from the peony pure flower shape, Liqiong flower has a strange fragrance, blooms in March every year, a few flowers, its fragrance is refreshing, since last year Li Zhen sent people to transplant this flower to Beijing, this is the first time to bloom, this flower is a release, thousands of flowers converge, come to the East Garden to see thousands of people who see this flower, this flower was originally planted in a remote corner of the East Garden, and then because there are many people who came to see this flower, it is famous, This is transplanted to the heart of the East Garden's heart lake, become the most beautiful scene of the East Garden, the location is easy to find, enter the garden gate, turn a few corridors, you can see the gorgeous flowers from afar, Li Zhi smelled the fragrance of flowers wafting with the wind, his heart was immediately uplifted, and he strode straight to the sea of flowers, and when he got closer, he saw a gardener-like person looking at himself with a smile on his face, Li Zhi was stunned at first, and then his face showed a strange face, but he did not immediately say hello, Instead, he turned around and instructed the guards who followed him: "My father has an order to pick some strange flowers and plants from the palace and return to the palace, so I will go to see the crown princess and help find some, let's go." "Those guards are all from the guards of the Jin Palace, and all of them are old people who have served Li Zhi for many years, and they know the intentions of Li Zhi's move, so they don't dare to slack off, so they bow down and retreat.
"Mr. Na is so neat, this pretending to be a gardener, this palace is almost unrecognizable, hehe, there are so many talented people under the starling, this palace is very envious." Li Zhi went to Li Zhen's mansion a lot in the past, and he had also seen Na Long a few times, knowing that Na Long was Li Zhen's confidant, and at this time, seeing Na Long looking like an old farmer, he couldn't help laughing.
"The grass people have seen His Royal Highness the Prince." Na Long didn't pay attention to Li Zhi's pretended to be relaxed and laughed, and was about to kneel down very respectfully, but Li Zhi hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him and said: "Mr. Na, this can't be helped, Starling treats you like a guest, if you know that this palace has received your great gift, wouldn't you have to complain about the big shelf of this palace when you turn around." ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said with a smile, my prince is also a minister of His Royal Highness, and when he sees His Royal Highness, he has to salute, and the grass people have no official or position, and it is fortunate that he can be summoned by His Highness, but this ceremony cannot be abolished." Na Long said this, but he didn't insist on kneeling, and then Li Zhi stood up with his hand, and stood aside with a slight bow, and didn't say anything.
The reason why Li Zhi will come to Dongyuan today is not because of Aya's words, in fact, when Li Zhen left Beijing, he left a message, bluntly saying that Chang Deming, the deputy chief eunuch of the Ice and Charcoal Division, is a reliable person, if Li Zhi has something to do, he can find Chang Deming to turn around, therefore, as soon as he heard that the words of going to Dongyuan came from Chang Deming's mouth, Li Zhi knew that this was Li Zhen looking for him to have something to discuss, although Li Zhi did not know Li Zhen's real intention of looking for him, but since Li Zhen came to the door, it must be a big event, and the benefits of his Li Zhi must be indispensable. Li Zhi, who has been mixed with Li Zhen for a long time, knows it very well in his heart, and at this time, seeing that Na Long does not speak, he is not in a hurry, he paced to the edge of the flowers with a smile, stretched out his hand and gently stroked the gorgeous flowers, and said with a smile: "Mr. Na, this flower is blooming very vigorously, the starling is really a caring person, he is in the Western Regions, and he did not forget to send such strange flowers back to Jingshi, and the palace admires it very much." ”
Na Long said calmly: "What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is very true, if this flower blooms in the Western Regions, it can be more gorgeous, but it is a pity, although the flowers growing in the greenhouse are comfortable, but without the baptism of wind, frost, snow and rain, they really can't bloom too beautiful flowers." ”
Na Long's words were too explicit, using flowers as a metaphor for people, it was simply pointing at Li Zhi's nose and saying that he was a flower in the greenhouse, which made Li Zhi angry when he heard it, but in the hindrance that Na Long was Li Zhen's henchman, but it was not easy to have a seizure, he snorted with a cold face, turned his head, looked at Na Long with a pair of eyes that were almost full of fire, gritted his teeth and said: "What does Mr. Na mean by this?" As soon as these words came out, the originally peaceful atmosphere disappeared in an instant, and the air was full of murderous intent......
