Chapter 4 Wait and see
Li Shimin was in the fog of what Yun Chen said, and he didn't know who to listen to, and it was a little difficult to judge whether these baseless words were true or false for a while, Li Shimin just vaguely felt that this person's spearhead seemed to be pointed at Tang Changyu and Liuning.
Li Shimin left a hand and did not express his position immediately, but after Yun Chen left, he instructed the people around him: "Go, find out what kind of person this Yun Chen is." ”
The weather has entered autumn in a blink of an eye, but the last trace of summer heat has not faded, in the staggered season of this season, the Queen Mother's illness still does not improve, Wanyan and the Queen Mother's fate is unresolved, the previous dynasty talked about it more, as if it was a dark tide, which made Li Shimin quite annoyed.
Li Shimin is not unconcerned with Wanyan, those remarks linger in his ears all the time, this time it is said that it is with the fate of the Queen Mother, and next time, if it is with the national fortune of the Tang Dynasty, then what should I do. People in high positions always have to worry about too many things, but for the first time, Li Shimin felt that he couldn't let go, and he couldn't treat Wanyan with the emperor's natural indifference and ruthlessness.
Wanyan avoided all the edges very interestingly, only locked herself in the dormitory, and didn't even look at her son, Li Shimin occasionally came back to see her, every time she smelled the breath of Wanyan, Li Shimin would always be extra reassured, Li Shimin often comforted her, and when the queen mother's affairs passed, there would be no problem, but it seemed that this matter always did not pass the day.
I don't know if Yun Chen's background was hidden too deeply by him or if he was a clean person himself, and the people sent out by Li Shimin found nothing. But no matter which angle you think about it, Li Shimin still believes in Tang Changyu and Liuning more than in a charlatan.
Although Li Shimin is old, he is not mediocre. Over the years, more and more ministers have begun to fool him with things like fortune telling and elixir, and he didn't say anything on the surface, but in his heart he looked at the ambitions and desires of those people like a mirror.
This matter caused a storm in the city, and naturally it also reached Tang Changyu and Liuning, who looked at Tang Changyu and couldn't help but sigh slightly: "Alas, I know that such a stable day will not last for a few days, and as soon as I returned to Chang'an, something came to the door." ”
Tang Changyu looked at Liuning, but smiled dotingly, rubbed her long hair, and said with a smile: "Eh, my A-Ning is actually complaining, it's not easy." ”
Liu Ning couldn't help laughing, glanced at Tang Changyu, and said: "When is it, you still have the kung fu to make fun of me, this time the matter is big or small, it is clearly for you, and you still don't care at all." ”
Tang Changyu replied with a smile: "With me, I have you, it's not because you're here, I can hide behind you with peace of mind, and wait for you to come forward to save me." Having said that, Liuning knew that at every critical moment, it was Tang Changyu who stepped forward and stood in front of her.
The two were talking, Zhao Nan and Mingfu came in, the two of them were very worried about this matter, but when they came in, they saw the two parties sitting together with a smile, laughing so much that you and I were smiling, if there was no one around, Zhao Nan sighed to Mingfu and said: "Look at the two of them like this, we are afraid that we are worried in vain, it is really the emperor who is not in a hurry and the eunuch is in a hurry." ”
Mingfu smiled and didn't speak, the two of them sat down, and tea was served, as if they were in their own home. After all the idlers retreated, Zhao Nan asked, "What do you two think about this matter?" ”
Tang Changyu opened his mouth and replied: "Obviously, this is someone deliberately framing us, this kind of ghost and god theory, originally believed in it and did not believe it, but someone pointed the finger at Concubine Yan, and then aimed at us, saying that we are the culprit, but I am not particularly worried, the emperor did not express his position, it is the best statement." ”
Zhao Nan and Mingfu were puzzled, Tang Changyu looked at Liuning, Liuning understood, and continued: "Changyu is right, if the emperor believes it, he will not take any measures, if the emperor does not believe it, he will not let such remarks spread wantonly, which shows that the emperor is still weighing, which is more important, but I think that the queen mother's illness is just an excuse for those who have plans, and it depends on the will of God in the end." ”
"Maybe they already knew that the Queen Mother was already terminally ill and had no cure, but they bought the Queen Mother to report to the emperor that the condition was repeated, so they set such a trap, what we have to do is to find evidence before the Queen Mother returns to heaven to prove that this has nothing to do with us." Tang Changyu continued to analyze Liuning's words.
"But what we can think of, the emperor can naturally think of, so what we want to check, the emperor has naturally already checked, and the current situation shows that even the emperor's search has no results, so we naturally don't need to waste our efforts, we have to find another way."
After Tang Changyu finished speaking, Zhao Nan and Mingfu almost understood what they meant, and Zhao Nan said jokingly: "It's okay for you husband and wife to sing and reason in harmony." Liu Ning blushed slightly, Tang Changyu ignored Zhao Nan and took a sip of the tea at hand.
It was boring to talk about himself, Zhao Nan returned to his original serious appearance and asked, "So, what are you talking about finding another way?" ”
Tang Changyu shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I haven't thought of it yet. "This time, if Zhao Nan sprayed water, he didn't expect anything, and he could sit at home and talk and laugh with them so calmly? In the entire Chang'an City, I am afraid that only he, Tang Changyu, has such determination.
Liu Ning obviously didn't expect Tang Changyu to have such an answer, but Tang Changyu's every sentence was so reassuring: "If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move, if the enemy moves, I think about it, don't worry, I won't let the people around me be hurt in any way." After speaking, he cast his deep eyes on Liuning.
The corners of Tang Changyu's mouth raised a confident smile, that was Liu Ning's favorite, his high-spirited appearance. Liu Ning was a little embarrassed by Tang Changyu, but Tang Changyu was secretly happy in his heart, over the years, Liu Ning was still so independent and strong outside, but in front of him, she became more and more a little woman and became more and more dependent on him. Tang Changyu enjoyed this state very much.
Sure enough, as Tang Changyu expected, three days later, the enemy couldn't hold back and moved.
The reason is that the queen mother is in the palace, the emperor went to visit the queen mother, the old mother is feeding the queen mother medicine, the queen mother is also in good spirits and talking to Li Shimin, in fact, the queen mother's condition has been much more stable than a few days ago, but I don't know what happened, but suddenly fainted.
At that time, it was just the emperor, the queen mother, the old lady who had been with the queen mother for decades and the emperor's personal eunuch, everyone was taken aback by this sudden situation, and quickly announced that the queen doctor came, and the queen mother diagnosed and treated the queen mother, and the queen mother woke up, and her body was fine, but the queen doctor couldn't find out why the queen mother suddenly fainted.
Li Shimin felt that he had no bottom in his heart, so he recruited Yun Chen into the palace. This Yun Chen seemed to have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and talked endlessly about the recent celestial and astrological aspects to the emperor, and after a long speech, he came to the conclusion that the emperor seemed to have an attitude of not being able to solve the previous matter, and the gods were already angry, which was a small punishment.
If it were an ordinary king, he would definitely listen to this reasoned and well-founded remark, but Li Shimin intended to find out, impartially, and the next morning, he ordered the feet of all the people of Tang Changyu and Zhao Nan's families to be banned, but Tang Changyu, Liuning and Zhao Nan were privately called to the palace once.
Li Shimin told them his suspicions about Yun Chen, but it was also superficial, he had reservations about Yun Chen's statement, if the three of them couldn't give a reasonable explanation, then he would believe Yun Chen's words and deal with the three of them or even more people.
As soon as these words came out, they unconsciously put great pressure on the three of them, and the reason why the emperor was able to control the overall situation well was also inseparable from his ability to strategize and use people reasonably. In this way, whether it is to find out the truth by using Tang Changyu's hand or to use Yun Chen's words to break the disaster, it will not be harmful to Datang.
Li Shimin gave Tang Changyu and the three of them five days and gave them enough rights.
After going back, Zhao Nan sat in Tang Changyu's study with a sad face, and said to the person opposite: "Changyu, aren't you very sure, now the emperor is singing which play, is it for us to compete with the person named Yun Chen, whoever finds the evidence first is considered to win, he just looks at it?" ”
Tang Changyu nodded noncommittally.
Liu Ning said thoughtfully: "Do you think that the personal eunuch who is next to the emperor today is a little familiar, and the last time I received the banquet, I felt that he was a little familiar, but I felt that I had seen too many people recently, and I was not sure if I remembered wrong." ”
Zhao Nan asked puzzledly: "Little eunuch, sister-in-law, what are you doing here, it has nothing to do with what we want to investigate now." ”
Tang Changyu frowned, waved his hand to Zhao Nan, and motioned for Liu Ning to continue.
"I just feel very weird, every time I see him, I feel that he always has some feeling that he is paying attention to something, of course, the feeling is not enough to prove, but before the Queen Mother suddenly fainted, he was present, and wherever the emperor went, he was present, in other words, this person is actually the closest person to the emperor, if he wants to do something, it is as easy as a hand."
"Reasonable," Tang Changyu nodded, "It's just an imagination out of thin air, but we can check it out, just like A Ning said, he is the closest person to the emperor, even if the matter has nothing to do with him, we will definitely be able to find out a little news from him, maybe this is really a breakthrough." ”
When Tang Changyu said this, Zhao Nan suddenly slapped the table and said excitedly: "I remembered!" I remembered who that little eunuch was, but I didn't expect it to be him, it's really interesting now. ”
