Chapter 62
Yuwen Haotian left Kunning Palace, Yuwen Ye and his companions drove back to Zhaoyang Palace, and the palace retreated in the imperial study, leaving only the most noble father and son of the Tianxi Dynasty.
The smell of ambergris permeated the imperial study, Yuwen Haotian took a sip of the white jade bowl of tea and took a sip of the dragon well before the rain, and then spoke: "Today, several imperial historians played the impeachment of Liao Yantian, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, and he was disrespectful to Shangshu Luo Zhen many times, and the offense was obvious. What do you think about this? ”
Yu Wenye didn't think about it, and said truthfully: "Liao Shilang is proud of his talents, and the officials are different from the past, there is an awakened and excited Luo Shangshu, and there are several colleagues of the Xiao family, Liao Shilang will inevitably be angry and at a loss when he fights alone. ”
Slowly putting down the teacup, Yuwen Haotian smiled and spit out: "The prince understands Liao Yantian very well." ”
Yu Wenye disagreed: "Erchen and Liao Shilang have no personal relationship, but they are just telling the truth. ”
"You are worthy of being my sister-in-law, who is measured and relaxed, and knows how to focus on the overall situation. Unlike your eldest brother, he always wants to form a gang in the open and in secret, and he often plays me like a fool. After that, Yuwen Haotian sneered twice.
deliberately mentioned Yu Wencheng, who was not angry, and there was no shortage of tests of the prince's temperament.
I saw Yuwen Ye lowering his eyes to cover his emotions, and only said lightly: "The eldest royal brother has been grounded for many days, and now that the New Year Festival is approaching, if the father and emperor do not lift his grounding, the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet will only be afraid of the full royal family's face." Moreover, his father has the heart to protect his reputation, and if he is not released from the palace for a long time, there will be rumors outside. ”
The poisoning of Concubine Lin has died, apologized for covering up most of Yuwencheng, and Yuwenye knew that the emperor could not ground Yuwencheng for the rest of his life. Soon it will be the New Year, and if the eldest son of the emperor has been grounded, I am afraid that it will arouse the suspicion of the eldest son of the emperor that the eldest son of the emperor is involved in the murder of the crown prince. Since the emperor chose to protect Yu Wencheng's reputation and prevent him from taking the responsibility of killing his brother, he will naturally cover up his ugliness now.
"He and his biological mother treated you like that, and you still intercede for him with brotherhood?" Yuwen Haotian squinted, his eyes sharp.
The prince was so open-minded that he couldn't help but remember an old man, who was too generous and merciful, so that the ending was sad.
Yu Wenye raised his lips slightly, and his smile was difficult to distinguish between the true and the false: "After all, he is the eldest brother of Erchen, and now that Erchen is safe and sound, he has to take care of his father's face." ”
Yuwen Haotian no longer had doubts, showed a rather approving smile, and did not hesitate to praise: "You can know the severity, and you are also open-minded, worthy of the bearing of a prince." ”
Before the emperor's words fell, Yu Wenye suddenly coughed without warning, he clearly wanted to endure it as much as possible, but the more he tried to endure the cough, the worse the cough became, and his handsome face suddenly flushed abnormally, and his thin shoulders kept trembling.
Yu Wenhao stood up subconsciously and walked to Aiko's side in person, frowning and saying, "Ye'er, aren't you in good health?" ”
Since he was canonized as a prince, the emperor rarely called him by his name so lovingly, and everyone before and after him was the most majestic father. Today he had to take advantage of his father's rare fatherly heart.
"It's okay, Father's ......" Yu Wenye waved his hand while he was wheezing, and said intermittently with a cough, "The imperial doctor said that the poison was too deep before, and it hurt the vitality...... Although the detoxification has been detoxified, the body is still not as good as before...... It is the fault of the sons and daughters who worry their father......"
"Damn it!" As he spoke, Yuwen Haotian's fist slammed into the mahogany coffee table, shaking the tea cup and trembling.
"Father, don't make a big fuss, it's the sons and daughters who don't fight for ......it," Yu Wenye didn't have time to finish speaking, and was attacked by a violent cough.
After tossing for a long time, he finally stopped coughing, and when his slender ten fingers moved away from his mouth, the piercing scarlet of his palm inadvertently poked the emperor's heart.
"Please forgive your father, and the son will lose his honor in front of the emperor." Saying that, Yu Wenye looked like he wanted to kneel down and ask for sin.
Yuwen Haotian hurriedly reached out to hold his forearm and stopped his movements with all his might, and then the dragon's eyes were round, and the anger in his chest did not decrease: "You were still pleading for that bastard just now, if I don't lock him up until next autumn, I will be worthy of being a father and a king!" ”
Grounding Yuwencheng until next fall...... A trace of happiness crossed Yu Wenye's eyes, and his goal was achieved.
Compared with the annoyance when talking about Yuwen Cheng, Yuwen Haotian can be said to be quite kind to the prince who is graceful and generous in front of him. Gently caressing his son's back, he was indeed a lot thinner after being poisoned, thinking of this, Yuwen Haotian became more and more unbearable, and asked gently: "Ye'er, how do you feel now?" Why don't I ask Gao Zhan to send you back to the East Palace to rest? ”
Yu Wenye shook his head: "Thank you for your father's care, my son is fine." ”
He has been a prince for many years, he has also participated in politics for many years, and the emperor has long been accustomed to discussing court politics with his beloved son, and now seeing him say this, he naturally opened his mouth to open his mouth to lead the topic: "Yanzhou County Shou Gao Xun is now seriously ill and untreated, and I am determined to send Liao Yantian to Yanzhou, what do you think?" ”
Yu Wenye stared and smiled: "Erchen thinks that my father's decision is wise. ”
"Tell me about it." Yuwen Haotian turned around and walked back to sit on the dragon chair, narrowing his dragon eyes slightly.
Yu Wenye did not hesitate and talked eloquently: "Liao Yantian was excluded from serving in the ministry, I am afraid that he consciously condescended in his heart, and now there is an impeachment of the imperial history, if the father does not denounce a few words, it will show partiality." In this way, he is useless in the capital, so it is better to send him to Yanzhou to take over the post of county guard, and rise in the open and in the dark. With his talents, there is no need to worry that he cannot govern a side. The most important thing is that the sea is wide and the fish jumps, and the sky is high and the birds fly, and he must be grateful for his father, Emperor Longen. ”
Yuwen Haotian bowed his head with satisfaction: "I hope he can comprehend my painstaking efforts." ”
"Father, the son has a proposal." Yu Wenye's words changed, and the expression on his face did not change, "Liao Yantian is certainly talented, but he has always been unsociable, and he is not tactful enough to deal with people. As the saying goes, a strong dragon can't fight the head snake of the ground, and Erchen is worried that he has just arrived in Yanzhou, and the local officials may not be willing to be convinced. Erchen wanted to recommend a person to his father as the adjutant of the county guard, and accompanied Lord Liao to Yanzhou. ”
As we all know, Liao Yantian is the person who was single-handedly promoted by Yuwencheng, Yuwencheng likes his talent, and he has a good understanding of Yuwencheng. The previous Yanzhou County Shou Gao Xun was also Yu Wencheng's lackey, but before Yu Wenye could make a move, he was about to ascend to heaven. Now that the new county guard is being chosen, Yu Wenye will never allow Yu Wencheng to easily seek personal interests from the rich Yanzhou.
"Who?"
Yuwen Haotian's eyes are like torches, both of them are his sons, how can he not see through this twist and turn? Liao Yantian has always been close to Yu Wencheng, but if Yu Wenye knows that he has done nothing, he seems to be cowardly and modest.
"Last year's champion Lang Fan Wen is good. This person is now serving in the Criminal Department, and his official residence is six-grade, and his sons have dealt with him several times, and they appreciate his ability to do things in all directions. He was originally from Yanzhou, and if he was sent to assist Lord Liao in governing Yanzhou, he would definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort. After Yu Wenye finished speaking, he stood up respectfully, believing in his heart that the emperor would not refuse.
As expected, Yuwen Haotian pondered for a while and did not say anything against it, but was a little surprised: "You are reasonable, I am accurate." Tomorrow, I decreed the promotion of Fan Wen to the fifth rank official, and when he arrived in Yanzhou, he was still in charge of the criminal department, and gave him the right to assist the county guard. ”
The world is not the king's land, the strength of the eighteen states of the Tianxi Dynasty is balanced, Yuwen Haotian has been on the throne for more than 20 years, and everything is under his control. For example, Gao Xun privately transported countless treasures, gold, and silver to the Great Prince's Mansion every year, but he didn't know it, but he just turned a blind eye. In the final analysis, Yu Wencheng is the first child and eldest son in his life, which is of great significance, if there is no son-in-law Yu Wenye, the throne will inevitably pass to Yu Wencheng.
However, the person recommended by Yu Wenye was not a confidant, which really surprised Yu Wen Haotian. Fan Wen is also a talent, especially sleek and clever, and he has been in the DPRK and China for a long time. Obviously, Yu Wenye didn't have a good idea in his heart, and asked Fan Wen to assist Liao Yantian, the rectal son, in governing Yanzhou, and it was strange if the two of them didn't break their heads.
Yu Wenye breathed a sigh of relief, thanked Fan Wen in response, and secretly rejoiced that the game had been set.
The matter has been decided, Yuwen Haotian temporarily solved the trouble in his heart, but he did not doubt that Yuwenye was still sick, not only did not leave him to see the excerpts, but also ordered Gao Zhan to personally send him back to the East Palace, and rewarded two more carts of supplements by the way.
Returning to the East Palace and seeing off Gao Zhan, Yu Wenye ran to Qingyun Pavilion in a very good mood, and laughed non-stop as soon as he entered the door.
Seeing that his face was full of joy, Bai Muguan unconsciously laughed with him, and then lightly opened his lips and asked, "Why is Your Highness so happy today?" ”
Yu Wenye took the hot tea she handed over and took two sips, and then said with a smile: "My father personally said that he would ban Yu Wencheng until next autumn, and his life will not be easy next year!" ”
She frowned slightly, not worrying: "In order to show his illness in front of the emperor, His Royal Highness has not suffered much behind his back, and he has used decoction to delay his illness, so be careful that he really falls into the root of the disease." ”
"It's all right," he disagreed, "I'll tell you about my time in the study today." ”
Bai Muguan nodded, patiently listening to him tell him about the things discussed in Zhaoyang Palace today, and she was not surprised at all after listening. only praised from the bottom of his heart: "Your Highness is so clever and clever to set up a clever game." ”
"Oh?" dragged out the long tail note, Yu Wenye felt a little incredulous in his heart, "Have you seen through the game I set?" ”
"What's so hard about that?" Asking rhetorically, Bai Muguan cast his eyes on him and analyzed carefully, "If you directly recommend your henchmen to Your Majesty today, first, Your Majesty is suspicious and may not be satisfied, and second, Your Majesty definitely doesn't want you and the eldest prince to fight in Yanzhou, which will make people laugh at it." And your recommendation of the neutral faction will make Your Majesty feel that you are fair, think about the overall situation in everything, and have no intention of suppressing Liao Yantian. ”
Moreover, Fan Wen is clear-minded, and Liao Yantian is a straight mallet, these two people gather under one roof to work together, more than a year and a half, as little as three or five months, it will inevitably cause a big rift, and maybe it will affect the governance of Yanzhou. At that time, both of them will be disposed of by His Majesty, and you will ensure that you will send your own people to Yanzhou, which will not only quietly get rid of the cronies of the eldest prince, but also will not displease Your Majesty. ”
After saying this, the girl understood and smiled at him.
Yu Wenye's expression on his face was subtle, both surprised, surprised and shocked, and finally turned into a step forward and took her into his arms.
"Guanguan is the ice and snow smart, with you, I am like a treasure." With that, he bowed his head and kissed her hair.
Yes, he set up a clever trick to kill two birds with one stone, thinking that no one could easily see through it, but he couldn't hide the girl who was smiling and feasting in his arms.
Bai Muguan buried his head in his chest and chuckled: "Where am I smart, but just say a few words casually." ”
"Those who know me, Guanguan also."
