Chapter 251: Calculation
Leaving from the small study of the East Palace, Huang Weijue was about to leave, but was stopped by the guards of the East Palace.
Huang Weijue frowned tightly, and said with a displeased face: "Presumptuous, what are you doing here?" β
"Lord Huang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered that no one is allowed to leave the East Palace until the overall situation is decided."
When Huang Weijue heard this, his calm expression cracked a little.
Gu Jiuheng was only a few steps away from Huang Weijue, and when he heard the conversation between Huang Weijue and the guards, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not trust these people very much.
Compared with Gu Jiuheng's calmness, Huang Weijue was much more angry.
Being under house arrest in the East Palace means that the news cannot be spread. If the crown prince can succeed to the throne smoothly, it is fine, once he fails, His Majesty will not ask for a reason, and the entire Huang family will be liquidated. The disaster of raiding the house and destroying the door is imminent!
Huang Weijue and Gu Jiuheng parted ways in the past, which was based on political disagreement, and the two of them did not have any discord in private.
Now that it was time for himself and his family to live and die, Huang Weijue put down his shelf and took the initiative to talk to Gu Jiuheng.
"Brother Gu, you and I colleagues have not drunk wine or tea together for so many years, why don't we get together together?"
The different color in Gu Jiuheng's eyes flashed. He also thought that Huang Weijue would always hold the shelf, but he didn't expect him to be able to put down his body so quickly, but he could bend and stretch.
"Okay, Lord Huang is kindly invited, but it will be disrespectful." Gu Jiuheng arched his hand towards Huang Weijue with a smile.
"This ...... Two adults, this is not appropriate. The guards listened to the conversation between Gu Jiuheng and Huang Weijue clearly.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only said that these adults would be arranged in the residence of the East Palace, but he did not say that several adults could be in one place.
Especially Lord Gu and Lord Huang, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince specially ordered them, and the guards did not dare to call the shots without permission.
"What? Are you treating this officer as a prisoner? Huang Weijue raised his eyebrows and sneered.
"Lord Huang, there is no such intention in being lowly."
Huang Weijue sneered, turned around and walked in the direction of the small study: "Well, since you can't be the master, this official will go to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and let His Highness command." β
"Hey, Lord Huang, the people below are not sensible, you have a lot of adults, you don't need to meet this group of guards."
Zhang Desong had already discovered that something was wrong here. At first, I thought that if the guards could stop people, it would save a lot of trouble, but since the guards were useless, Zhang Desong had to come forward.
Gu Jiuheng and Huang Weijue are the henchmen of His Royal Highness the Prince, Zhang Desong did not dare to slack off, and he came up to make amends.
"Lord Gu, Lord Huang, the accommodation arranged by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for the two adults is Yilan Palace, please come with me."
Zhang Desong not only gave the steps, but also said a basket of good words, Huang Weijue Bing did not appreciate it, he said with a smile: "Father-in-law Zhang, the guards just said that this official and Master Gu are not allowed to be together." According to the official, the official of this Yilan Hall does not have to stay, it is more appropriate to go to Dali Temple or Imperial Prison. β
"Oh, Master Gu, why are you talking angry." Zhang Desong raised his sleeves, wiped the cold sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, and scolded the guards: "Something that has no eyesight!" Can Lord Huang and Master Gu be the same? That's the teacher of His Royal Highness the Prince, and he doesn't apologize to the two adults! β
When the guard heard this, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and made amends tremblingly: "The humble position is a lot of offense to the two adults, and I also invite the two adults Haihan." β
Huang Weijue snorted, flicked his sleeves, and said to Zhang Desong: "Father-in-law Zhang, lead the way." β
Zhang Desong was really afraid that Huang Weijue would not give up, and seeing that he would not pursue it, he hurriedly ran to the front to lead the way: "Two adults, there is a waterfront open Xuan in Yilan Palace, which is better than being clean, so let's ask the palace people to clean it up, and then prepare some side dishes to accompany the wine, and ensure that the two adults are satisfied." β
Huang Weijue has been holding a cold shelf, intending to give Zhang Desong a dismount.
Gu Jiuheng saw that the atmosphere was a little cold, and Zhang Desong was ugly, so he accosted: "There is Lao Zhang's father-in-law." β
Zhang Desong said "don't dare", and said with a smile: "The two adults even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have to be honored as 'sir', and it is a great honor for our family to serve the two adults." β
While the three of them were talking, they had already walked outside the Yilan Palace, and Gu Jiuheng and Huang Weijue took a look at the surrounding environment.
Yilan Hall faces the water on one side and is backed by a bamboo forest, and the place is very remote.
But into the main hall, found that the hall has been renovated, there are all kinds of treasures on the treasure grid, the calligraphy and painting of the previous dynasty, the ancient books can be seen everywhere, a look is with the heart, less a little magnificent, but more than a little more quiet and elegant that the literati like.
Even Huang Weijue wanted to find fault, but he didn't know where to start.
"Look at the two adults, what else needs to be added?" Zhang Desong asked diligently.
"Replace the incense in this hall with Ruilin incense, and then take a jar of orchid wine, a jar of purple and red milk vetch, and on top of the dish, there will be a sake lees duck, a rouge goose breast, a cold chicken shred, and a plate of peach blossom fish."
Huang Weijue said unceremoniously.
If it was usual, Huang Weijue was so domineering, Zhang Desong would definitely feel uncomfortable. But he is a third-grade official, but he was placed under house arrest in the East Palace by His Royal Highness the Prince, with the high temper of these civil servants, how can he swallow his anger.
made a few complaints about this matter, but Zhang Desong didn't take it to heart at all.
What's more, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince specially instructed that Huang Weijue and Gu Jiuheng must be dispelled from the mustard in their hearts, how dare Zhang Desong not do it.
"Lord Huang, let's do it. It's just that I don't know if Master Gu has any other instructions here? β
"Just give this official a pot of Taiping Monkey Kui." Gu Jiuheng lowered his eyes and said casually.
"Wait a minute, two adults." Zhang Desong beat a thousand children and withdrew from the main hall.
After Zhang Desong left, Huang Weijue immediately put away the anger on his face, and smiled at Gu Jiuheng: "Brother Gu, I really didn't expect that one day you and I would be under the same roof." β
When Gu Jiuheng heard this, his eyes raised slightly, and he smiled lightly: "Lord Huang, since you and I are both subordinates of the East Palace, what is so strange about being under the same roof?" β
"Brother Gu's calmness that still doesn't change when Mount Tai is pressed on the top really makes me ashamed."
Huang Weijue praised Gu Jiuheng as if it were true or false, and walked in the direction of the water pavilion with praise and praise.
Gu Jiuheng was half a step behind Huang Weijue, as if he couldn't hear Huang Weijue's sarcasm, and his face was faint.
"Lord Huang has won the prize. When it comes to judging the situation, Lord Huang is called second, and no one dares to call it first. β
Gu Jiuheng replied with a needle in his face.
Huang Weijue had a discord with Gu Jiuheng in the past. Because he looked down on Gu Jiuheng's lofty posture very much. , there are some lonely and arrogant "everyone is drunk and I am sober".
Now these few small talks have deepened Huang Weijue's dislike for Gu Jiuheng. But he still remembers that at the moment of major events, personal likes and dislikes should be put aside first.
"Brother Gu's words, forgive me for being stupid, I don't understand a little" The expression on Huang Weijue's face was full of frankness with a clear conscience, and he said: "Brother Gu has a misunderstanding about me?" β
While the two of them were chatting, they had already arrived in the water pavilion.
Huang Weijue took the lead in sitting, and Gu Jiuheng took the opportunity to sit opposite Huang Weijue.
After dismissing the palace people, Huang Weijue changed his words and smiles, but his face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "At the moment, 100,000 people are in a hurry, and I won't say those polite words covered by clouds and mountains." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to admonish the army and force His Majesty to take the Zen position, according to the high opinion of the Lord, what are the chances of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince winning? β
When Gu Jiuheng heard this, his eyes were cold, and he asked rhetorically: "Since Lord Huang knows it in his heart, why do you want to ask me?" β
"Does Brother Gu really want to rebel with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Before Huang Weijue asked this question, he had already expected that Gu Jiuheng and himself were in the same mind.
What Huang Weijue wants to know now is whether Gu Jiuheng has recognized the prince, even if he loses his life, he will not hesitate to do so.
"Lord Huang should have seen it, I persuaded His Royal Highness the Prince, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still insisted on going his own way. On the contrary, Lord Huang, from beginning to end, agreed with His Royal Highness the Prince's decision. β
Gu Jiuheng picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip slightly.
I have to say that the slaves and maids in the palace are well-trained, and in the short time that he and Huang Weijue walked to the water pavilion, the tea leaves in the cup have been replaced.
The tea is just warm, the green and red tea soup in the cup is fragrant and refreshing, the taste is mellow and sweet, and it is the best Taiping Monkey Kui.
Gu Jiuheng's questioning words suddenly made Huang Weijue's heart depressed, all the words were blocked in his throat, and he couldn't spit or swallow.
The reason why Huang Weijue agreed with His Royal Highness the Prince's decision at that time was to wait for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to bring about his own destruction, and he would be able to submit a letter of surrender to His Majesty, but who would have thought that His Royal Highness the Prince, who has always been gentle and elegant, would also be ruthless in his heart and put everyone under house arrest in the palace!
It's a pity that His Majesty is in the Tangshan Palace, and the whip is beyond his reach. Otherwise, even if he lent His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a hundred dares, presumably he would not dare to do so.
Huang Weijue coughed lowly, and changed the topic without embarrassment: "Brother Gu, let's not turn over the previous accounts." If Brother Gu doesn't want to board the rotten ship of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, which is destined to capsize, you might as well discuss a charter with me, it is better than you and me sitting back and waiting for death at the moment. β
"Lord Huang, you and I are now under house arrest in the Yilan Palace, and I can't even get out of this hall, in your opinion, what can you and I do except sit and wait to be killed?"
Gu Jiuheng gently turned the sweet white porcelain tea cup in his hand and asked disappreciatively.
"Master Gu, this method is all thought up by people. Don't you think something is wrong with Master Gu? With only 20,000 gold guards, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince dared to rebel, who gave His Royal Highness the confidence to the Prince? β
Huang Weijue didn't bother to have a relationship with Gu Jiuheng at this time. He found that this person is hateful because he doesn't eat oil and salt!
"If Lord Huang has any doubts, you might as well say it openly and honestly, it's still hidden at the moment, then we might as well just drink and not speak."
Just like Huang Weijue looked down on Gu Jiuheng's Qinggao Jie, Gu Jiuheng also didn't like Huang Weijue's rudder when he saw the wind.
Although the two of them seem to outsiders, one is chic and wanton, and they have the style of the Wei and Jin dynasties; A seven-trick exquisite, all-encompassing, like a spring breeze.
When Huang Weijue heard this, the tip of his tongue pushed against the softness and flesh of his jaw, a resolute light flashed in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I believe that Master Gu is a gentleman, then I will be open and honest." β
Gu Jiuheng raised his eyebrows, restrained the looseness between his eyebrows, and said, "I want to hear it." β
"I suspect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should be in collusion with the remnants of the former Eight Kings, doesn't Lord Gu suspect it?"
Huang Weijue's words changed, and he was quite questioning.
He really couldn't get used to Gu Jiuheng's appearance as if it didn't matter to him.
Although the Gu family has a simple population and is not as big as his own family, Gu Jiuheng has a wife and a daughter, but he is not a person who has no concerns.
"I suspect it, but I don't have evidence." Gu Jiuheng said lightly.
The remnants of the eight kings in Huang Weijue's mouth were the chaos caused by the other eight sons of the first emperor before His Majesty ascended the throne
The concubines Wei Jian, Wei Xuan, Wei Chang and others had already been killed by His Majesty, and only Wei Jian's sister Princess Chunyi escaped.
Now there should be only the forces left by the former prince who still have the ability to make waves.
"Prince Er has no bloodline, even if the plan of Prince Ei's old department succeeds, can they still dig Prince Er out of the coffin?"
Huang Weijue didn't understand this the most. Now that the four seas are peaceful and the four Yi are surrendered, where do these princes get their self-confidence, thinking that they can replace them.
"It's not that you want to be a descendant, it's not impossible to inherit a child from the clan and inherit the prince's incense." Gu Jiuheng analyzed without any emotion.
"Master Gu, we have to hand over this news." Huang Weijue said in a heavy tone.
There were a variety of delicacies on the table, but neither of them had the slightest appetite, except for the tea, the dishes were not moved.
"The East Palace is heavily guarded, and if we want to pass on the news, there shouldn't be half a possibility."
Gu Jiuheng had already understood the surrounding environment on the way to Yilan Palace, and it was an exaggeration to say that not even a single fly could fly out here.
However, Huang Weijue said quite confidently: "As long as Master Gu is willing to cooperate, I have a way." β
β¦β¦
The night was getting darker.
Inside the Ganquan Temple. Chen Rong listened to Zhang Desong's return, and couldn't help but tighten the skirt on her knees with both hands, and her sharp nails scraped the silk threads on the green thread-picking skirt.
"Cousin has really made up his mind? Once you have chosen this path, there is no turning back. β
Chen Rong's face turned pale after hearing the content of Zhang Desong's report at the beginning, and even after half an hour, her complexion still did not improve.
"Crown Princess, you should have confidence in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Although Zhang Desong looked down on Chen Rong, the crown princess, he felt that His Royal Highness the crown prince could have today because of the crown princess.
But he had no choice but to get on the princess's thief ship, so he had to say something to comfort the princess.
"Hongu naturally has confidence in his cousin. It's just that the palace change is so dangerous, if you are not careful, even if your cousin is Your Majesty's own son, with Your Majesty's ruthlessness, your cousin can have a way to live! β
Chen Rong bit her lip, and a pair of flattering eyes kept flashing with a look of struggle. She thought that as long as her cousin survived His Majesty, he would be able to inherit the throne sooner or later, but His Majesty only had one son, his cousin, and as for Wei Chi, Chen Rong even forgot about him.
If Your Majesty doesn't pass on the throne to his cousin, will he still give it to outsiders?
Zhang Desong almost rolled his eyes. This crown princess is not only dull, but also slimy, obviously saying that she believes in His Royal Highness the Prince, but the words are not like that.
I don't know what kind of demon His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is obsessed with, and he is actually fascinated by such a woman!
"Crown Princess, now, the slave won't hide it from you. The news from Tangshan Palace that the queen is pregnant. Once the queen mother gave birth to a dragon son, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be passive at that time. β
Zhang Desong said unhurriedly.
"What!" Chen Rong cried out in a lost voice, and the nails holding the skirt shirt broke directly because they were too hard.
"Niangniang heard me right." Zhang Desong lowered his eyes, looked at his nose, and said with his nose and heart.
Seeing this, Wei Zisu quietly shook the hands of the crown princess on her lap and motioned for her to calm down.
With Wei Zisu's hint, Chen Rong let out a deep breath and cursed coldly: "This slut is a good life!" β
After speaking, his right hand involuntarily touched his flat abdomen, almost crushing the silver teeth!
I drank a lot of bitter medicine for this, but my stomach still couldn't bulge. As a result, the cheap maid surnamed Qin, as well as Xie Yanhe, both of them quickly became pregnant, which is really eyeless!
"Father-in-law Zhang, is there no way to let the queen mother have a silent miscarriage?"
Chen Rong successfully got rid of Qin Xueshu's child, and felt that she was born once and matured twice, so she directly hit Xie Yanhe's idea, planning to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle.
Zhang Desong knew in his heart that the crown princess wanted to repeat her old tricks. But the crown princess's idea is too naΓ―ve!
The queen mother is His Majesty's heart, liver and blood, in addition to the palace people who serve are all His Majesty's chosen henchmen, there is also Qinglongwei secretly staring.
Does the crown princess really think that the queen mother is Qin Xueshu who has no foundation in the East Palace?!
Zhang Desong was afraid that the crown princess would be confused at a critical moment, and immediately stopped the unreliable idea of the crown princess.
"The crown princess, the queen has Qinglongwei staring at her, and the East Palace will only startle the snake if she acts rashly."
"The incense concocted by Concubine Wu can't even be found out by the doctors of the Tai Hospital. Was Grandpa Zhang too careful? β
Chen Rong said disapprehantly.
When Zhang Desong heard this, he couldn't help but secretly slander: Qin Xueshu had a miscarriage, did the princess really think that His Royal Highness the crown prince couldn't guess who was the murderer behind the scenes? It's just that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is partial to the Crown Princess and is too lazy to care.
Where did the crown princess get her self-confidence, just relying on Concubine Wu's blue zhixiang, she was able to make the queen have a miscarriage?
Do you still expect Wei Zisu to be a~ to hook up with Manager Feng?!
"Crown Princess, even if Concubine Wu's Lan Zhixiang Hospital can't find out, this incense has to be sent to the queen."
Zhang Desong was patient, trying his best to make his tone sound calm and calm, without a trace of dissatisfaction.
"It's Hongu who wants to be left." Chen Rongmo's brows furrowed. was reminded by Zhang Desong, and she remembered that she really didn't have a way to send Lan Zhixiang to Xie Yanhe.
"Is my cousin still coming over for dinner today?" Chen Rong changed her words and changed to another topic.
Zhang Desong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that the crown princess would be confused, and he would hold on to Fang Cai's thoughts.
Today's topic, Zhang Desong is much easier to answer.
"Back to the words of the crown princess, His Royal Highness will summon the military generals of the court in the study today, and after the matter is over, stay directly in the study, so that you don't have to wait any longer."
"Okay, Hongu knows." When Chen Rong heard this, her face immediately fell, and she looked not very interested.
Zhang Desong was afraid of being angered by the crown princess, so he was annoyed and withdrew from the Ganquan Hall very respectfully.
Outside the main hall, Zhang Desong looked at the first quarter moon above his head and sneered. The crown princess will be able to be proud for a while.
After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne, rewards for meritorious deeds are indispensable. A crown princess who can't give birth, how can the courtiers not fight the idea of the harem.
At that time, the situation of the crown princess will be difficult!
After Zhang Desong left, Chen Rong sneered and directly overturned the tea bowl on the table.
The palace people in the Ganquan Hall were so frightened that they didn't dare to come out.
Chen Rong's face turned red angrily, and he shouted angrily: "What summoned the general!" Bah! β
Chen Rong "spitted" on the ground, and said hatefully: "It's all excuses!" walked a Chu Linglong, and another Qin Xueshu came. Bengong finally killed Qin Xueshu, and this fox spirit came out of nowhere. What else do you say about getting married as husband and wife, and there is no doubt about love! It's all about deceiving this palace. This man is a man who has seen things differently! It's all liars! β
Chen Rong said, a pair of beautiful eyes shed two lines of tears in a daze, looking sad and uncontrollable.
Wei Zisu waited until the crown princess finished venting before she dared to speak.
"The crown princess, the slave maid thinks that His Royal Highness the crown prince is not such a person, maybe there is some misunderstanding in this."
"Hongu saw my cousin and that woman talking in the imperial garden with my own eyes, how can I fake!" Chen Rong's shoulders trembled from crying, but when she heard Wei Zisu speak to the prince, she raised a pair of eyes that were red from crying, and a pair of beautiful eyes showed a terrifying light, looking very hideous.
"Say, isn't it that you, a cheap hoof, also have a crush on your cousin, so you will say good things to your cousin! This palace knows that you are all things with ghosts in your hearts, and you are cheap in your bones, and you are all delusional about replacing the crown princess of this palace! β
Wei Zisu had never seen such a crazy appearance of the crown princess, her knees were weak, she knelt on the ground with a "poof", and tearfully defended: "The crown princess, the slave knows that her status is low, and she can have today, all thanks to the promotion of the crown princess, how dare you think of His Royal Highness the prince!" β
Chen Rong held back her tears, wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, and stared at Wei Zisu viciously, until Wei Zisu was chilled by her gaze, and then she coldly withdrew her gaze.
Chen Rong snorted: "It's best to be like this, if you let this palace know, if you dare to betray this palace, this palace will say that you are a human being!" β
When Wei Zisu heard this, he immediately shuddered.
