Chapter 1006: Sailing with the Water

Double zuihou for three days, sincerely ask for a monthly pass*****

Zhang Changzong has been living in the Thousand Cavalry Camp, which is full of elite soldiers of the forbidden army, and at the same time, the two thousand iron cavalry brought by Zhang Changzong are also stationed here.

In fact, after the end of the Great Purge, Zhang Changzong no longer needs to continue to live here, at least as the landlord Liu Yitian should mean something, such as taking the initiative to invite Zhang Changzong to live in Longqingchi Lake Island, a little bit of the friendship of the landlord, but Liu Yitian has never moved.

Carefully savoring Liu Yitian's impersonal gesture is actually very intriguing.

At the beginning, Liu Yitian invited Yang Fan to live in a private villa on Huxin Island, also because at the critical juncture of the Great Purge, Liu Yitian was eager to close the relationship with the Imperial History Observatory of the Criminal Department by showing favor to Yang Fan to avoid implicating him, otherwise he would not have done such a kind act. There is only one reason, the situation is unknown.

Liu Yitian was a member of the Empress Dowager's faction, and before the Empress Dowager became the Emperor of the Great Zhou, he stayed in Chang'an. Now that the empress dowager has been the emperor for ten years, time and space have widened the distance between him and the empress, strictly speaking, he is no longer the empress's absolute confidant.

Liu Yitian colluded with the local shili in Guanzhong in Chang'an, and secretly created his own shili, which was precisely because of this sense of crisis. He is very cunning, like a shrewd snow fox, and he can smell an unsettling smell in the slightest disturbance of the court.

He is far away in Chang'an, but he knows everything that happened in Luoyang, and he knows very well how many ministers who were trusted and reused by the empress have now become the lackeys who are cooked, he knows very well. So he has always been very glad that he can stay in Chang'an, otherwise he does not dare to guarantee that he will not fall in the unpredictable political situation.

Now. Chang'an is suddenly about to become the political center of the country, and the political signal released by the emperor's relocation of the capital is: return to Li. How could the treacherous and slick Liu Yitian not plan for his future?

The female emperor is too old, and she has lost the confidence to follow her with all her heart, and every step Liu Yitian takes needs to be carefully considered, and she needs to take into account the changes in the political situation of the court in the next few years.

The emperor will definitely come from the Li family or the martial family, the Li family has at least a sixty percent chance, the martial family has at least a forty percent chance, and others cannot have a chance to covet the throne. This is the judgment made by Liu Yitian.

The two Zhang brothers had already offended both the Wu and Li families, so Liu Yitian didn't want to show him a little closeness.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, a small mistake now can be taken out in the future to make a big fuss, the scheming Liu Yitian set an eight-character policy for himself in this unpredictable environment: "But there is no fault." Don't ask for merit. Therefore, except for when Zhang Changzong first arrived in Chang'an, he held a reception banquet on behalf of Chang'an officials. Since then, nothing has been said.

Watching many people in order to be able to gain more power after the emperor moved west. They all offered flattery and heavy gifts to Zhang Changzong, the first favorite minister of the Son of Heaven, and Liu Yitian stood in the courtyard of the deep mansion of the Chang'an Mansion, just with a disdainful sneer, he was not moved at all.

Liu Yitian's attitude is actually an alienation from the two Zhang, if Zhang Yizhi is here. may be able to feel a bit of the taste, but Zhang Changzong can't, he has unparalleled beauty, and he also has the talent of piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs. But he has no political wisdom.

In the face of the flattery and stammering people, Zhang Changzong has completely ignored Liu Yitian, he thought that Liu Yitian's deep residence was simple and silent, and he was silent and cautious because there were so many things in Guanzhong, and Liu Yitian could not escape the blame, so he was worried in his heart, and he didn't realize what Liu Yitian's every move meant as the first person in Guanzhong's political arena.

Thanks to these people who keep going to the Qianqi camp to give gifts and banquets, otherwise Zhang Changzong would not be able to stay in the Qiancai camp at all, Xu Liang, Ma Qiao, Huang Xuchang and others certainly respect Zhang Changzong, but these rough people have no common topic with Zhang Changzong, and most of the people who continue to come to visit are civil officials and literati, so Zhang Changzong will not be so bored.

Nearly noon this day, Zhang Changzong had just sent off a guest, and returned to the room to play with a pair of crystal clear jade horses sent by the guest, when someone suddenly came to report that Yang Fan was coming, Zhang Changzong hurriedly asked someone to collect the treasure and personally greeted him.

Yang Fan was the commander of the Thousand Cavalry Battalion, so naturally he didn't need to wait for someone to report, and when he heard that he was back, Xu Liang, Huang Xuchang, Lu Maofeng and others rushed to meet each other, and hugged Yang Fan and walked in with a smile. Zhang Changzong came out, and when he saw Yang Fan, he smiled and said, "Erlang is back!" If you are not welcome, forgive your sins. ”

Yang Fan quipped: "Speaking of which, I am the landlord here, Liulang is my guest, but today I want to welcome the host, Yang is the one who is rude!" ”

Zhang Changzong got up and hurriedly took Yang Fan's arm and sat down in the room.

Yang Fan said: "Now that Yang is in good health, he deliberately went back to the camp to take a look, and at the same time, he intended to invite Liulang to live on the island in the middle of the lake, where the safety is not a little better than here, but the scenery is a hundred times better than here, Liulang lives in the barracks all day long, and mixes with these old coarse, isn't it boring?" ”

Zhang Changzong was greatly moved, and before he could answer, a personal entourage suddenly walked in, walked quickly to his side and whispered a few words, and then handed him a secret letter, Zhang Changzong opened it and looked at it, and his face suddenly showed a strange look.

Yang Fan came here today, he asked people to pay attention to the itinerary of the people who escorted Shangguan Wan'er, and knew that they had arrived in Chang'an City, so he rushed to see Zhang Changzong first, and as soon as he saw Zhang Changzong's look, he knew that Wan'er had sent someone to deliver the letter.

Yang Fan pretended not to know, and deliberately asked: "Is there anything difficult about Liulang, do you want Yang to help you with details?" ”

Yang Fan's move was a little presumptuous, but Yang Fan couldn't help but say it, otherwise if Zhang Changzong really bypassed him and arranged Wan'er to some secluded place, it would be difficult for him to visit, although he could sneak there, it would not be a long-term solution after all. Zhang Changzong raised his head and said to Xu Liang and the others with a solemn face: "Everyone, please stay away, I have something important to discuss with General Yang." ”

Seeing his solemn expression, everyone even used a more formal name for Yang Fan, and they knew that the two really had something important to discuss, so everyone hurriedly left the table and retreated one after another, and the kung fu hall was empty in a moment. Even the messenger withdrew.

Yang Fan smiled: "Liulang is so cautious, what is the matter?" ”

Zhang Changzong lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "There are people in the capital, and Shangguan is waiting to be controlled." ”

"Oh?"

Yang Fan smiled disappreciatively: "Bixia has announced the world, said that the capital will be moved to Chang'an this year, and also said that Shangguan will be sent here to prepare for the relocation of the capital with Liulang, Yang also knows about this, Shangguan is waiting for the system to be surprised, Liulang went to greet him and did his best." ”

Zhang Changzong smiled, shook his head and said, "If it's just Shangguan to be controlled." Why do I have to look like this, do you know why Shangguan is being investigated? ”

Yang Fan said movingly: "Could it be that Shangguan is still on another mission, and the land of Guanzhong is going to rise again?" ”

Zhang Changzong couldn't hide his excitement, pushed the secret letter in his hand, and said, "Erlang, please take a look." ”

Yang Fan deliberately excused himself and said, "Bixia secret purpose." How can Yang smell good. ”

Zhang Changzong said: "This is not a secret purpose, not to mention. You're not an outsider. That's a bit of a co-optation. Yang Fan pretended not to hear anything outside the words, reached out and took Zhang Changzong's secret letter, opened it to take a look, and was also surprised.

Zhang Changzong said with a smile: "Changzong has always thought that if there is only one person left in this palace who is guarding like jade, then it should be this Shangguan to be controlled." I don't want to be in the official to be in the private house, and now I have made a 'human life', haha......"

Zhang Changzong has always admired Shangguan Wan'er's talent and learning, and Wan'er has always maintained restraint and tolerance for them during the development of Shili on both sides. So the personal friendship between the two sides is also good. Now that he suddenly heard such an affair, Zhang Changzong just showed instinctive interest as a man, but he didn't say too much.

Yang Fan took the letter, but he was a little sad in his heart, he knew how much Shangguan Wan'er cherished her name. But he also knew that if it weren't for self-defeat, it would be difficult to dispel the female emperor's vigilance and murderous intent, and Wan'er made the most correct move, which was to keep the children of the two of them.

What touched Yang Fan was that before this, Wan'er did not reveal a trace of tone to him.

In this world, the most difficult thing to guess is the human heart. In the eyes of the emperor, killing one person and living one person is just an ordinary thing, and when the emperor is unhappy, a few words of criticism can make her kill her own grandson and granddaughter.

Although Wan'er is by the emperor's side, she can grasp the emperor's mood at any time, and can choose the best time to violate the truth, but she is not sure that she is safe. If the emperor really wanted to kill her, it would be one corpse and two lives, and the reason why she didn't let herself know at all before she was out of danger was to protect him to the greatest extent.

Although Yang Fan already knew the news yesterday, he still felt excited when he thought of Wan'er's good intentions today: "Wan'er......, Yang has a lot of owe you, and I am afraid that I will not be able to repay it for the rest of my life." ”

Zhang Changzong was stunned when he saw Yang Fan looking at the secret letter, and he was stunned by the news. She is a celebrity in front of the emperor, and her status is only higher than that of Shangguan to be controlled, so it doesn't hurt to ridicule her for a few words, but as Yang Fan, she naturally doesn't dare to make more beaks, so she coughed.

Yang Fan came to his senses, hurriedly put down the secret letter, and complained: "It's so confidential, Liulang shouldn't have called Yang and Wen." ”

Zhang Changzong said with a smile: "I have never regarded Erlang as an outsider, so why not if my brother knows, I also want you to help me come up with ideas to see how to place Shangguan to be systematic." ”

Zhang Changzong said, he couldn't help but be a little smug. He didn't let Yang Fan avoid it, the fundamental reason was because this was someone else's territory, and he just let others avoid it, if he let this loyal general avoid it, it would be unkind. After seeing the content of the secret letter, he had an idea again, and felt that letting Yang Fan and Wen Confidential was a good opportunity to get closer to each other.

The common secret, the easiest to close the relationship between the two people, the second Zhang took advantage of the emperor's favor, a painstaking management, in the court has won over a group of henchmen, but in the army has not made any progress, so far the biggest achievement is just the installation of a Lu Maofeng in the thousand cavalry battalion.

He and Zhang Yizhi have always wanted to pull Yangfan, the commander in charge of the most central armed Liliang, to their side, and now they are not seeing the outside, which naturally also means to show favor and win over.

Yang Fan appeared here today, and he also fully considered Zhang Changzong's possible reaction, and he also prepared at least two sets of contingency measures, but it was obvious that the first move to deal with Zhang Changzong, a political imbecile, had already worked. When Zhang Changzong was smug, this matter had become Yang Fan's dominance.

Yang Fan regretted: "Yang didn't look at the yellow calendar when he went out today, he came to the wrong place!" ”

Zhang Changzong proudly hahadaxiao, pointed at him and said: "Seeing that you are afraid of being like this, don't worry, the sage means that as long as you don't make trouble to the whole world, you are also a confidant of the Son of Heaven, what is there to be afraid of?" ”

Yang Fan smiled bitterly: "Anyway, this is a trip to troubled waters. ”

Zhang Changzong smiled: "Okay, okay, don't complain, where do you say we should arrange her?" ”

Yang Fan asked rhetorically, "What are Liulang's plans?" ”

Zhang Changzong held his chin and thought for a while, and said, "Look, how about letting Shangguan stay in Ganye Temple?" It's very secluded, I'm here, so I'm good to take care of it nearby. ”

Yang Fan thought about it, frowned, and said, "It's not appropriate." ”

Zhang Changzong said: "What? ”

Yang Fan said: "Ganye Temple is a royal temple, dedicated to accommodating the concubines who did not give birth when the first emperor passed away, and the temple is located in the forbidden garden, and there is little contact with the outside world, Liulang must have thought of this place for this reason, right?" ”

Zhang Changzong nodded and said, "Exactly!" ”

Yang Fan said: "However, because the bhikshunis there are all concubines of the first dynasty, and they have seen a lot, I am afraid that they will see the clues." Moreover, the saint deliberately made this arrangement, obviously it is more useful for the Shangguan to be systematic, and the waiting system is also responsible for the holy order to prepare for the relocation of the capital, wouldn't it arouse suspicion when he lived in the Ganye Temple? ”

Yang Fan said this, Zhang Changzong also felt that his idea was not very mature, so he said: "What should I do with Erlang's eyes?" ”

Yang Fan said: "First, this place must be remote and deserted, and it is difficult for ordinary people to contact, so as to ensure that the secret will not be leaked to the greatest extent." Second, this place must be elegant, in line with the status of Shangguan Zhizhi, so that people know that she came to Chang'an for a holy order, not house arrest and exile. Third ......"

Before Yang Fan finished speaking, Zhang Changzong's eyes lit up, and he blurted out: "Island in the middle of the lake!" ”

Yang Fan was stunned and said, "Island in the middle of the lake? ”

Zhang Changzong said excitedly: "Not bad! Island in the middle of the lake fits this bill! ”

Yang Fan was stunned for a long time, and then said, "Not bad!" The island in the middle of the lake is indeed a suitable place. In this way, my body has recovered, and I no longer need to live on the island to recuperate, so I will move out of Longqingfang today and return to the Qianqi camp, and Liulang and Shangguan will live in Longqing Pond. ”

Zhang Changzong is willing to live alone with Shangguan Wan'er, everything he does comes from the Son of Heaven, and now that he knows that Shangguan Wan'er's private affairs are not pure, of course he will think of avoiding suspicion.

He didn't go to this island in the middle of the lake sooner or later, Shangguan Wan'er came, he moved to the island in the middle of the lake, and he also "drove out" Yang Fan. Although Wan'er is already a woman with Liujia, the emperor will not take it seriously when he hears it, but even if the emperor is slightly displeased, he is unwilling to do it.

Therefore, Zhang Changzong immediately vetoed Yang Fan's proposal and said categorically: "No, Erlang still lives on the island, and with you, you are just helping me cover up." Erlang is full of wisdom, with you, in case there is a situation, I also have someone to discuss. ”

Yang Fan refused repeatedly: "No, no, no, it's better to have more than one thing, Liulang, you just let it go as a brother!" ”

Zhang Changzong said with a smile: "Erlang already knows about this. ”

Yang Fan said: "But Shangguan doesn't know that I already know about it!" ”

Zhang Changzong said: "Shangguan doesn't know, but I know!" ”

Yang Fan glared at him and said depressedly: "It's really careless to make friends!" ”

Zhang Changzong hahadaxiao, arched his hand and said: "There is Lao Erlang, this favor, Changzong has written it down!" ”

P: Originally, it was said that there were two chapters a day, and at that time a chapter was 3,000 words, and a week was 6,000 times seven equals 42,000. Now I say that I have to take one day off a week, but I always write a chapter of four thousand, often a chapter of four thousand, a week is eight thousand times six equals forty-eight, inside and out, it seems that there are more than before every week, this is not a whole, I am sad to die......
