Chapter 68 Deliberations
Xia Fanxing smiled bitterly, this kind of "signs", he has been like this almost every day for the past two years. But I just couldn't get over the bottleneck and threshold between condensing qi and building a foundation! I finally had a chance in the secret realm, but I was delayed by the so-called changes in heaven and earth.
Jin Qifa had already walked into King Rong's mansion and said, "I'll help you take a good look at it later." If you can break through in one fell swoop, don't miss the opportunity! Don't be stunned there, Your Highness is waiting for us in the tea room!"
King Rong's Mansion is magnificent, but the lights in it are not as bright as Xia Fanxing imagined. Because Li Wan is a very strange prince, he has not married a wife so far, and although the mansion that the emperor rewarded him with is large, there are very few people living in it. I followed Jin Qifa for a long time before I walked to the tea room in the backyard of King Rong's Mansion.
Xia Fanxing just walked in and saw Li Wan sitting on the main seat in the tea room, with Duan Qianshan's letter paper spread on the table. Ji Yanliu, Qin Blind and the others had also arrived, forming a circle around the tea table.
The tea room is filled with the fragrance of tea, surrounded by rows of bookshelves, which is very elegant.
Li Wan saw Jin Qifa and Xia Fanxing walk in, and after the two saluted, he patted the tea table. The servant standing next to him brought two cups of fragrant hot tea and delivered them to Xia Fanxing and the others.
It seems that the blind man Qin has already told Li Wan about the news and situation he has obtained. Xia Fanxing felt that the atmosphere here was a little nervous, and took a sip of tea, the fragrance was like the taste of plum blossoms in tea, refreshing, and the quality was definitely superior.
However, this plum blossom tea in the season really evoked some bad memories of Xia Fanxing, and after only taking a sip, I began to think about how to drink His Royal Highness the Prince.
Jin Qifa took a deep breath of the tea fragrance and praised it sincerely: "There is also plum blossom tea in this summer? Your Highness, the quality of your tea is also very good."
Li Wan sneered, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Xia Fanxing was taken aback, "This was sent by someone sent by Lord An Lushan when he entered the palace last time. You're right, where did the plum blossom tea come from in this big summer, it was brought down by An Aiqing from the Guanmei Peak of the Tu Pig Sect! Only the plum blossoms on the Guanmei Peak have such a good taste. ”
Xia Fanxing tasted it carefully, and sure enough, the taste of this tea was a little familiar.....
His heart immediately hung in his throat, and Ji Yanliu and the others all looked at him with some concern. But thinking that Li Wan didn't know his identity yet, he forced himself to calm down and wait and see what happened.
"An Daren's popularity is really good, and he can now be related to the Eight Great Ancient Sects. Li Wan knows a lot about the cultivation world, so he is very insightful in the matter of An Lushan's Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony, "I don't know why Tu Feng Sect would help him do that Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony." Aren't they throwing dirty water on themselves by throwing dirt on themselves? They are not fools. ”
Li Wan looked at Jin Qifa, as if he could give himself a reasonable explanation.
Jin Qifa glanced at Xia Fanxing, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I'm afraid that only enough interests, even unseen interests, can prompt a sect like Tu Feng Sect to pull down its face, right? Even its own disciples don't understand why. ”
"It's strange, my Datang and Tu Fengzong have no grievances, it can be said that the well water does not violate the river water..."Speaking of this, Li Wan suddenly choked. No grievances?... As if he had thought of something, he took a big sip of tea and fell silent.
Qin Blind got up at this time, wanting to cover for Xia Fanxing, he said: "Your Highness, Tu Fengzong's mind can't be guessed. The urgent thing at the moment is to solve the trouble in front of you first, which is the incident of Li Yang Changshi Jiwen. ”
Li Wan nodded slightly, but he didn't seem to have recovered from what he had just thought of.
The idea of the golden period method is completely different from that of the blind Qin. Qin Blind was planning to conceal Xia Fanxing's identity, but if he wanted to cooperate with each other and get rid of that organization, his idea was to let Li Wan accept Xia Fanxing's identity as a disciple of the Tu Feng Sect. He planned to come clearly, and he couldn't let His Highness have too much prejudice against Tu Feng Sect.
Moreover, if Xia Fanxing was not a disciple of the Tu Feng Sect, he would not be willing to work with him on this case!
"Your Highness, I apologize to you. This Li Daoyou is actually not a disciple of Yuanshou Mountain, nor is he surnamed Li. His person is the sixth generation disciple from the Tu Feng Sect, Xia Fanxing. Poor Dao learned about this at the banquet and did not tell His Highness. Jin Qifa stood up and bowed deeply, and the others were shocked. Qin's blind eyes were even more angry, if he hadn't been pulled by Xia Fanxing, he would have raised his arms and fought with this person!
"Don't worry, don't worry, I've already talked to him about the conditions... Li Wan won't do anything to us. Xia Fanxing hurriedly transmitted the sound to the ears of everyone around, although he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the Golden Period Law Gourd, so he would soothe everyone's emotions first.
"Bold! Ru'an dares to deceive me?" Li Wan was furious when he heard this, slapped the tea table, and pointed at Xia Fanxing. But he was weak and immediately began to cough.
"Your Highness is angry. Wechen is indeed guilty in this matter. But..."
Jin Qifa directly grabbed the conversation, "But Your Highness, Xia Fanxing, as a disciple of the Tu Feng Sect, told us that information, and he was already doing a job that was not human inside and out." I'm afraid that you have too much prejudice against the Tu Feng Sect, so you choose to cover up your identity. Not to deceive you. And the information he brought is basically accurate and reliable, Your Highness, please don't be angry about it!"
Li Wan put one hand on his chest and calmed down. stared at Xia Fanxing, who had been half-bowing, for a while, and said slowly, "Why did you do this?"
Xia Fanxing said the answer that he had already thought of: "Because the minister doesn't know, why my sect did this!"
"As Your Highness said, the Sect's approach is to completely pour dirty water on itself. Datang has no grievances with me, why did he choose to help An Lushan despite his fingers? Of course, the sect gave birth to me and should not rebel against it, so I can't have any objections to the matter of the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony. But beyond that, I am willing to fight for what I think and what my heart wishes. An Lushan is a vulgar Hu man, how can he be in a yellow robe and rule a dynasty and a country? Even if he does not manage well under his own rule, how can he give up the Tang Dynasty to such a person?"
"You're right... An Lushan is a reckless soldier, and he can't even manage the three towns under his rule, and this king has also heard that Fan Yangmin is not happy. However, how many people in the court and the central government have seen Sima Zhao's heart, which is well known to everyone outside Beijing? Even if someone sees it clearly, who has taken action? This king is ashamed, and only today does he know that the affairs of the north are urgent... My father is old, and my father's court is really old! In the end, it turned out to be a disciple of Tu Feng Sect who came to talk to this king about this..."
Li Wan sighed. In fact, he didn't have much prejudice against the Tu Feng Sect outside who was talking about it a lot, but he just felt that their behavior was very strange. The reason why he was angry was just because Xia Fanxing cooperated with these people and dared to deceive him.
For him, the things that Xia Fanxing said to him before were reasonable, and that was enough.
As for his identity, Li Wan, who has always respected Jin Daochang, vouched for it, and Li Wan was still more relieved. After all, the Nine Lotus Sect has been friendly with various dynasties for thousands of years, and it is absolutely impossible to help the rebels to cause chaos.
Xia Fanxing saw Li Wan's reaction, and his heart was overjoyed, and he said, "Your Highness..."
"However, if you have a grudge against my Datang. This king has heard about a matter about your sect, and he is ambiguous, and he only knows a rough idea. ”
Xia Fanxing's heart tightened, this may have something to do with the reason why Tu Fengzong helped An Lushan!
"This is a rumor that this king heard from the eunuchs in the palace a few years ago. said that it was the father-in-law of Gao Lishi, and there were two major things in his life that he did not want to mention to others. The first thing that many people know is to grind Li Hanlin's boots. The second thing, I heard that it was a big and far-reaching person who went all the way to the Yexin Sect to take the blame. ”
"And such an interesting thing?" Xia Fanxing was interested.
"Listen to them, it's been ten years now. Few people know. It seems that a secret meeting was held in the palace before, and many people from the sect were invited to discuss a very important matter. This secret meeting is very secretive, and a prince like this king can't enter it at all. After this incident, Gonggong Gao went to your Yexin Sect, that is, Tu Feng Sect to ask for guilt. ”
"So, according to the king's speculation... Well, it may be that Tu Fengzong paid Gao Gonggong to do something for them, but in the end he failed. Gao Gonggong knew that he was wrong, so he went to the door to ask for guilt. This matter may have something to do with the royal secret. Therefore, Tu Fengzong and my Datang Dynasty, I am afraid that there are really some secret entanglements that no one knows. But..."Li Wan raised the teacup and looked at Xia Fanxing while drinking.
Xia Fanxing knew that it was time for him to make a statement, he got up and bowed deeply, and said, "But Ji Wen's matter has nothing to do with my sect, and I am willing to do my best to solve this case with His Highness!"
Then the king will write down your words. Coupled with the words of Jin Dao Chang to vouch for you, I am willing to believe you. Regarding the case of Geven, there is anything that needs the king's help, though. ”
After that, several people talked about their plans in detail - to send a few people to Liyang, claiming to be Li Wan's people, using the identity and status of Prince Jinggong to get close to Changshi Jiwen, looking for opportunities, find his flaws, and file a case to investigate this person.
Xia Fanxing also told Li Wan the news that Tu Fengzong had also sent another person to investigate the matter. It's just that Xinheng's investigation direction is on An Lushan's side. After hearing their news, Li Wan was a little less wary of Tu Fengzong. From the current point of view, it is very likely that An Lushan single-handedly manipulated Ji Wen to do it, if this is the case, Tu Fengzong's withdrawal from An Lushan's action will undoubtedly be great news for him.
Xia Fanxing also said the questions he had discussed with Qin Blind. said that no matter whether An Lushan did it or not, it should start with Jiwen. If it was really manipulated by An Lushan, and in the end it came out, he would not be able to escape; if it had nothing to do with An Lushan, and there were other people behind Jiwen's control, but they kept staring at An Lushan, it would be completely hanging from a tree! Moreover, the consequences would be very serious.
Li Wan agreed with most of what they said. It's just that he said one sentence at the end, which surprised several people: "In this case, this king will also go to Liyang with you." I once served as the protector of the capital of Shan Yufu, and I understand the supervision and reporting system of the Tang Dynasty, and I have the name of the prince, and I will leave Beijing tomorrow in my father's office to go to Lizhou to supervise the history of assassination. ”
"Your Highness, why did you leave Beijing at this time? Can you tell me the truth?" Jin Qifa could see at a glance that Li Wan had some concerns in his heart.
Li Wan smiled bitterly and said in front of everyone: "You also saw it today, the imperial brother used the moonless vision to make things difficult for you. Although this king and Li Heng have never had a grudge, they have to guard against being in the emperor's house. Mr. Xia, you sent me a message today, which seems to be secret, but in fact, Li Heng has already noticed it. ”
Xia Fanxing nodded, indeed, but it seems that you have to blame Your Highness for your poor acting skills, right?
"From his behavior of making things difficult for Mr. Jin, we can know that Li Heng doesn't want me to take care of these political affairs, although this king does not have a high status in the imperial family, he still wants me to be a playboy who has always been addicted to Taoism and poetry. It's ridiculous that this king only knows this today. ”
"So, this king wants to leave the capital for a while. It also saves you the hassle of coming to the door. And this king came to Liyang in person, and the effect will definitely be better. If this case is solved in the future, it can be regarded as a great prestige. ”
Xia Fanxing and the others could only nod their heads and echo Li Wan. There are advantages and disadvantages to the visit of a dignified prince to Liyang, because of his face, it will be much easier to deal with all kinds of things, but at the same time, he is afraid of startling the snake.
But Li Wan asked, and of course they had to be flattered to agree.
"Then you will be guests in this king's mansion for the next two days. Leave until the day of departure. Li Wan got up tiredly, waved his hand to the servant standing at the door, motioned for him to take the guests to rest, and then walked out himself.
Xia Fanxing also stood up. Ji Yanliu on the side was about to fall asleep when he heard these boring things, he glanced at her sleepy with interest, and just wanted to take her hand, but found that his left and right shoulders were pressed down.
Looking back, Qin Blind Man pressed his left shoulder, and his right shoulder was held down by the Golden Period. Xia Fanxing smiled awkwardly and whispered, "You two ?......"
When the blind man Qin heard this, he also felt that something was wrong. He let go of his hand and said to Jin Qifa, "It's Mr. Jin, right? ”
"Qin Daxia, I have been looking up for a long time, there is indeed something important in the poor road, so let's discuss it with Xia Xiaoyou first!"
Then, Jin Qifa pulled Xia Fanxing out of the door, and a voice came, "Come with me to the backyard, I may be able to survive the catastrophe tonight!"
