Chapter 106: One is smarter than the other
This time, Lu Zhan didn't speak, just looked at Tang Ying silently.
But when he did this, Tang Ying couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart, "The princes of Qi State shouldn't really misunderstand, right?" ”
Seeing that Lu Zhan didn't answer, his brows became tighter and tighter.
Tang Ying was speechless and said, "We are also too unlucky." ”
But didn't I ask the people from South Vietnam. Why did you provoke Qi again?
After thinking about it, Tang Ying said, "Why don't we move out of Qi Country now?" ”
"No." Lu Zhan shook his head, "South Vietnam has not yet established a new emperor, and if we appear rashly, we will be used by someone with a heart." I'm afraid it will cause more trouble. ”
Seeing Tang Ying's expression becoming more and more solemn, Lu Zhan finally couldn't bear it. Then he explained: "Ah Ying is fine, they can't set off any big waves. And I'll explain it to Ye Xiao myself. ”
Ye Xiao, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Qi Kingdom.
Tang Ying knew this person, but she was even more puzzled, "Isn't it the Nine Emperor Prince's night strategy that came today?" And it is rumored that the prince Ye Xiao is not the most gentle as jade? ”
Although Tang Ying knew, the rumors could not be believed.
But Ye Xiao is already the prince of Qi State, so he still needs to deal with them so hard?
"Ye Xiao is not gentle but a very vicious person. It's just that he is both a concubine and the prince of the main palace. It's kind of weird to do that. Lu Zhan said bluntly.
Tang Ying is not only his wife, but also her military advisor in some things.
"There must be a demon when something happens. Anyway, I think Ye Xiao, there is something wrong with this person. Then, Tang Ying replied with a solemn expression.
Lu Zhan didn't want her to worry about it.
Now that he has said it, Lu Zhan said with relief: "Madame's words are reasonable, but the weather is hot now. He Jun said that the concubine sent by Lingnan had just arrived, and I wonder if Mrs. would like to try it? ”
"Yes!" Tang Ying, grinning.
You must know that in the hot summer, this thing is the most suitable for her appetite.
Although Ke Xin was happy, Tang Ying couldn't help but ask for some cheapness, "You ancients." Lychee is lychee, what else do you say The concubine laughs, and chews the words. ”
Lu Zhan smiled elegantly and didn't say much.
It's just a crescent-white soft satin robe, and with a slight lift, he pulled her into his arms and said, "You are also an ancient person now." ”
No matter where Tang Ying came from, at least they will never be separated again in this life.
"Yes, so do I." Tang Ying, seeing his deep affection, smiled.
……
……
The Nine Emperor Princes naturally returned in vain, but the matter was not far over.
It was supposed to be a private meeting, somehow.
This matter actually caused trouble in the court, and faced difficulties from all sides. Ye Ce Leng was severely reprimanded by the Emperor of Qi.
I just returned to the house, and I was about to discuss with my own staff and courtiers.
How to pull down the waiter of the Ministry of Rites who participated in his performance today, and he didn't want Shi Wenzhao, the secretary of the Ministry of War, but said: "Nine Emperor Princes, do you really think that the waiter of the Ministry of Rites is targeting you?" ”
This person has a black mole under his eyebrows, and he controls one-third of the soldiers and horses of the Qi State. is also the most trusted person in Ye Celeng.
Hearing him say this, Ye Ce Leng couldn't help but wonder: "Master Shi, what does this mean?" ”
Could it be that there is someone behind the waiter of the Ministry of Rites?
But that's not right.
Thinking of this, Ye Ce said coldly: "The waiter of the Ministry of Rites has always been pretentious and high, and he has never participated in party disputes. Who could be behind him? ”
You must know that this talent is eight buckets high, and he is rich in five cars.
If you are willing to bow your head a little, you will not be able to do it, and you will stop moving.
Shi Wenzhao didn't speak, but pointed to the sky above his head inscrutablely.
Ye Ce Leng was slightly stunned, and after a while, he reacted, with a shocked face, "Nonsense! ”
"Master Shi, do you know what you're talking about?"
Before, he received a secret letter saying that the crown prince Yexiao was deeply involved with Lu Zhan. That's why I went to Sanssouci Valley to find out.
But the result?
didn't catch anything, but caused a commotion.
Even more so now.
After pulling the crown prince, it's the emperor, right?!
The rest of the staff also looked uneasy, "Master Shi, speak carefully." Don't you also support our judgment from what happened last time? Why is it so deviant this time? ”
It turns out that maybe Lu Zhan, the valley master of Sanssouci Valley.
It's just a Jianghu person with some ability, and he has nothing to do with Prince Yexiao at all.
"Nine Emperor Princes, don't be angry. Let's look at the picture scroll in the old minister's hand? As he spoke, Shi Wenzhao presented an unopened picture scroll in public.
Ye Ce Leng looked displeased, "Lord Shi, this prince is not in the mood to look at paintings at this time. ”
Today's Shi Wenzhao really disappointed him. It is completely inconsistent with the image of plain and stable and powerful.
"Nine Emperor Princes, this is not an ordinary painting." Shi Wenzhao still insisted, "If you miss something, the Nine Emperor Princes should open it and take a look." ”
At this point, Ye Ce Leng just said coldly, "I hope Master Shi will not disappoint this prince." ”
He's not the jade-faced fox of Ye Xiao, if he's really unhappy, but he wants to see blood!
Then, when the scroll slowly unfolds.
Don't say that the night is cold, and the courtiers in the room are stunned.
Especially those plainclothes people who had been to Sanssouci Valley with Ye Celeng, they were even more surprised, "This, isn't this a portrait of Lu Zhan, the master of Sanssouci Valley?" ”
Ye Ce said angrily: "Master Shi, what are you doing. This prince doesn't have a dragon yang fetish! ”
Obviously, Ye Ce Leng misunderstood.
thought that Shi Wenzhao wanted to offer a beautiful woman with a painting.
After all, Lu Zhan's appearance is not just handsome, enough to describe.
"Nine Emperor Princes, calm your anger. The person in this painting is not only Lu Zhan, the lord of Sanssouci Valley, but also Beitang Zhan, the former prince of Nanyue. Seeing that he was angry, Shi Wenzhao hurriedly knelt down and said.
With Shi Wenzhao's rank, there is no need to be like this for other princes.
But he must be like this to Ye Ce Leng, one is to show his loyalty, and the other is that if Ye Ce Leng is really angry, he will kill.
This is very different from the hypocrisy of other princes.
What the?
"He's Beitang Zhan?" Ye Ce said coldly.
The State of Qi and the State of Nanyue had established diplomatic relations not long ago, and the name of the Prince of Nanyue was secret. Ye Celeng naturally knows.
It's just that he didn't have a chance to see the truth.
"Exactly." Sven said.
Ye Ce Leng asked again: "Who is the valley lord lady of Sanssouci Valley?" ”
Although I didn't see Tang Ying when I entered the valley, the former prince of Nanyue doted on his wife, and no one knew it.
"It's the former crown princess, Tang Ying." Shi Wenzhao said again.
Ye Ce Leng heard this, his eyes instantly became active, but after a moment, he still said in a deep tone: "Even if he is the prince of Nanyue, he is also the former prince, what does it have to do with this prince?" ”
Lu Zhan would have such an identity background, which Ye Ce Leng never expected.
But in the end, this is not South Vietnam, a prince of South Vietnam, or a former prince, is of no use to him.
"Nine Emperor Princes, aren't you curious. Why did he come back from the dead, and why did he choose Qi among all the nations to hide? Shi Wenzhao followed the good path.
"The left and right are just some treacherous and treacherous, palace battles. The prince's hand hasn't stretched out that long. "The night is cold, and the interest is lacking.
The key now is how he can win the favor of the Emperor of Qi and regain the crown prince.
As for the rest, Ye Celeng is really not interested.
"Nine Emperor Princes, but what if this matter can please the emperor, and it is also a dragon's face?" Shi Wenzhao said again.
Now, Ye Ce Leng became interested.
A pair of eyes narrowed, "Master Shi, how do you say this?" ”
"Nine Emperor Princes, the old minister has received reliable information. It is said that the reason why this Nanyue prince was abolished is because he is not the son of King Jing of Nanyue at all. Sven said.
"It's not King Jing's son, so who is?" After this question was asked, before the other party could respond, Ye Celeng's expression suddenly changed, "You mean to say that he is the illegitimate son of his father?" ”
It's all in the royal family, and people naturally think more than others.
The mind is also darker than ordinary people.
And Shi Wenzhao, who deliberately guided him like this, heard this. The smile in his heart was obvious, but his face was not revealed, "The news that the old minister got is so. ”
"What is the case? Then who did he have birth to? ”
Why has it been so many years, Ye Ce Leng asked himself that he had not received any rumors.
"Nine Emperor Princes, do you think this is the crux of the matter?" No, Shi Wenzhao didn't answer and asked.
Although Ye Ce Leng is ruthless, he is not a brainless person.
Hearing this, he was inevitably displeased, "So, what do you mean, Master Shi?" Let this prince leave this matter alone? ”
The royal bloodline is very important, and Ye Ce Leng will never fail to verify it.
Regarding this, Shi Wenzhao has been prepared for a long time.
He just explained: "Nine Emperor Princes, according to the old minister's view, the key now is that the prince of Qi has died too much and survived too little. In addition to the crown prince and you, there are only sixteen princes left, and two princes. But both of them were still children. ”
The harem of Qi is extremely noisy, so even if there are many princes. But all of them are born with a thin life, and there are indeed not many people who can grow up smoothly.
This is also a well-known thing.
But what Ye Ce didn't understand was, "Master Shi, what do you mean by asking this question now?" Do you want this prince to help that illegitimate child? Let him be crowned the supreme position of the Ninety-Five!? ”
"The Nine Emperor Princes. There is a difference between dignity and inferiority. Qi is even more particular about this. Even if the Master of Sanssouci Valley recovers his identity, it is impossible for him to be on the same level as you. Shi Wenzhao explained this problem very clearly, for fear that Ye Ce Leng would misunderstand.
And as soon as these words came out.
The other courtiers suddenly understood: "What the Lord has not yet meant is to let the Nine Emperor Princes do what they like." Can you win the emperor's favor and give the prince one more enemy? ”
"That's right, that's exactly what the old minister meant." Shi Wenzhao smiled and touched the black mole under his eyebrows.
In fact, Ye Ce Leng had already figured out what Shi Wenzhao meant before the courtier spoke.
But he was still a little uneasy and said: "But if that's what you said, then my father must like Lu Zhan very much." If you like that book, why do you want to help him? ”
Ye Ce asked himself coldly, there is no habit of raising tigers.
"Your Highness, no matter how much the Holy Lord likes it, the masters of Sanssouci Valley are all concubines. What's more, without Jin Keyudie, his status as a prince is difficult to be recognized by the ministers. At most, he can only be the righteous son of the saint. Shi Wenzhao spared no effort to persuade, "But if the Nine Emperor Princes help, the Holy Lord will realize his long-cherished wish for many years." When the time comes, it will be different in the heart of the saint. ”
"And after all, the current lord of the East Palace is the crown prince. If the Lord of Sanssouci Valley recognizes the Lord and returns to the sect, who does the Nine Emperor Princes think will be the first to sit still? ”
The last remark was very obvious to Shi Wenzhao.
Ye Ce Leng immediately understood, and then waved his hand and said, "Master Shi, high." The prince has always pretended to be gentle and respectful. This prince is worried that he can't deal with him. If he can't bear to move, the person on the tip of his father's heart. Then wouldn't we bring him down without blood? ”
"Hahaha, yes, Master Shi is really a talent." The more I thought about it, the more I felt that there was a lot to be done.
Shi Wenzhao pretended to be humble and said: "The Nine Emperors are wonderful, you are smart and unparalleled, and the old minister is just a little mentioned." ”
"No, it's all up to you." Ye Ce was cold, and the rewards and punishments were clear: "Then Lord Shi, this matter will be handed over to you." If you do it well, this prince will never treat you badly. ”
However, Lu Zhan's identity must be clear. This prince doesn't like to do useless work. ”
If Lu Zhan was not the prince of Qi State, then he would have worked in vain.
This is by no means something that Ye Ce Leng is happy to see.
"The Nine Emperors can rest assured, the old minister will definitely verify this matter clearly." Shi Wenzhao replied.
That's it, after such great news. The night was cold, and the mood finally improved. is no longer angry, but it is rare to discuss other things with everyone with a pleasant face.
Only then did he dismiss his staff.
It's just that everyone left, and Ye Ce Leng didn't leave the study.
Instead, he stretched out his hand to summon his bodyguard, Ling Fei, and said, "A few days ago, the matter that this prince asked you to verify can be found?" ”
"If you go back to Your Highness, you have found out." As he spoke, Ling Fei lowered his voice and whispered a few words in Ye Celeng's ear.
After a while, Ye Ce's cold smile became more and more cold, "Sure enough." Our Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really a good means. ”
Ling Fei wrinkled his eyebrows and said nothing, waiting for his master to finish speaking. Only then did he say: "Your Highness, what are you going to do now?" This Shi Wenzhao can't be killed yet. ”
Although Ling Fei was just a guard, he also knew Shi Wenzhao. On the surface, he is the person of His Royal Highness, but in fact, he has taken refuge in the prince.
But not to mention the rest, just talk about his position as the secretary of the military department, and it is not something that others can move if they want to.
"Who said that this prince was going to kill him." No, Ye Ce laughed angrily and said: "This prince, not only don't kill him, but also reuse him." ”
"Your Highness, you ......"
At one point, Ling Fei suspected that Ye Ce Leng was confused.
Otherwise, how could Ye Celeng, who was decisive in killing, suddenly change the heart of the Bodhisattva?
"You know? What's more, the prince, who has always made no mistakes or omissions, will have a fork. Why do you think this is? Ye Ce asked coldly.
With such an unfathomable question, Ling Fei couldn't figure it out.
He quickly shook his head, "Your Highness, please forgive your subordinates for being stupid. ”
Indeed, this time it was Prince Yexiao who made a mistake, although it was only a very small mistake. But if it weren't for this negligence, they wouldn't have been able to find out that Shi Wenzhao turned out to be the prince's person.
It's just that Ling Fei really doesn't understand why something went wrong, but he doesn't dare to say that it was an accident or a coincidence.
I didn't think about it, what he didn't say, Ye Ce Cooling could know.
"It's not a coincidence, it's not an accident, it's just that the prince will be negligent when he is in a hurry." In the last half of the sentence, Ye Ce Leng said word by word: "But Ling Fei, what do you say about the good prince's weak heart?" ”
The more Ling Fei listened, the more confused he became, like seeing flowers in the fog.
The more Ye Ce Cooling, the happier he became, as if he had been entangled in a struggle for many years and was finally about to get the final victory.
I saw him wave his hand, motioning for Ling Fei to come closer. Then he whispered something in his ear.
Ling Fei's face immediately changed greatly, and he once suspected that he had misheard, "Your Highness, you mean to let your subordinates check ......?"
"That's right." After speaking, before Ling Fei could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Ye Ce Leng, "God knows this matter, you know and I know." Don't tell a third person. ”
"Yes, Your Highness!" Ling Fei immediately received the order.
Then Ye Ce Leng issued another order, which made Ling Fei retreat.
Three days later, Lu Zhan received a flying pigeon message.
There is neither a signature nor a prefix, just a simple sentence. But it made Lu Zhanjun's eyebrows stare for a while.
He was so serious that Tang Ying didn't know when he had come behind him.
Glancing at the note in his hand, Tang Ying said, "Ah Zhan, I think this matter is promising." ”
"Why are you here?" Looking at the villain who suddenly appeared, Lu Zhan was slightly surprised.
At the same time, he also secretly sighed that after there was no internal breath, even the Medicine King and Xiao Zhihe tried their best to recuperate. His perception was still much worse than before.
Of course, Tang Ying saw the secret wound in his heart, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he smiled, "Not long after I first came, husband, I think we can agree to this matter." ”
In order to make Lu Zhan happier, Tang Ying also deliberately changed her name.
She called Lu Zhan like this, and Lu Zhan was happy. But he didn't agree immediately, but said: "The method is good, but the truth is unknown." And after all, why should we be blindly involved in this matter of their affairs? ”
He brought Tang Ying to Qi State, not to re-enact the affairs of South Vietnam.
Moreover, they have one of the biggest hidden dangers that have not yet been solved.
"Husband, there are some things that we can't get out of without our participation. Besides, the chess game has already begun, can we really say that if we can't play, we won't play? Tang Ying said.
What she said was very high-sounding.
But Lu Zhan knew another meaning, and couldn't help but smile helplessly and said: "Ah Ying, are you afraid that you can't fight for your husband but Xiliang Xinjun?" ”
"Of course not." Tang Ying immediately denied it, "It's just that Xuan Yu is like a dog skin plaster, very sticky, and King Xiliang doesn't know if there is a problem with his brain and actually passed the throne to him." So ......"
In the end, Xuan lost and is now the king of Xiliang.
At present, he has not taken any action, probably because he does not know that they are in the Qi country. Or maybe he has just ascended the throne and the throne is not stable.
But no matter what the reason was, Tang Ying believed that Xuan Yu would never let them go easily.
Then they should have some backing.
"But why did Ah Ying choose, such a ruthless and brutal backer? Aren't you afraid that it will backfire in the end? Lu Zhan raised his eyebrows and asked.
In fact, he asked this question, and he actually had the answer in his heart.
But there are some words, some credits, Lu Zhan still hopes to let Tang Ying get it.
After all, when she is happy, he is happy.
"Don't be afraid, because there are two sides to everything. For example, most gentle people are indecisive, and ruthless people are also revenge people. With that thing in place, we can't be wrong to choose him. Tang Ying, I didn't see Lu Zhan's thoughts, and explained a little proudly.
