Chapter 193
"This ..... This, this, this...... My lord...... I haven't received any ...... Any news passed down from above ......" The master almost used all his strength to say this sentence, and then he was afraid that Huang Zunyi would continue to ask more deadly questions, and the master trembled with fright. Actually, he didn't think it was a big deal that they hadn't received the message from 'above' at first. After all, there is an official position or power in these small roles, and even Huang Taishou, who has a backer. If something happens, the first person to be dealt with must be Huang Zunyi.
And these days, except for the scene outside the city gate at the beginning, after His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince couldn't help but make a move on Huang Taishou, nothing else has happened. Therefore, let alone say that he is a little master, even the officials of Yunzhou City or relying on Yunzhou saw that Huang Taishou was still in power and nothing happened, so they were not in a hurry.
However, the master was frightened by Huang Taishou's hurried tone and urgent speed when he asked himself this sentence at this time, and he couldn't even speak coherently. After all, since he followed this Huang Zunyi to serve as the Taishou of Yunzhou, and he naturally became the master of the Yunzhou Yamen, he has never seen Huang Zunyi show such a look at any time, which is obviously a performance that Huang Zunyi can only have when he is extremely nervous and overly worried. Under normal circumstances, he hadn't seen Huang Zunyi like this for many years, and he couldn't help but panic in his heart. But this master is still very clear in his head, even if he is already confused in his heart at this time, he still does not show it at all, forcing himself to be calm.
The master's answer made Huang Zunyi, who was already in a state of panic and anxiety, couldn't help but want to get angry, and scolded loudly: "What is this? If you have anything to say, just say it! The official asked you again, has there been any news from above in the past few days? ”
In fact, this Yunzhou is not stupid to guard Huang Zunyi, on the contrary, this Huang Zunyi is also extremely smart. At this time, when he saw that the master of the yamen who had been with him for many years heard his unprepared question, he was stumbling and not daring to answer his question, where was there anything he didn't understand.
As a result, Huang Zunyi already had a guess in his heart, did he really have any news passed down to him? It seems that it is really like what His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince said, this prince Xuanyuan Yuling and Lan Cheng really want to choose to give up themselves? What was stated in their own letters did not even have the slightest effect on them? Huang Zunyi couldn't think of anything about it, the things mentioned in his letter, even if Xuanyuan Yuling was the prince, no matter how powerful Prime Minister Lan was, he wouldn't care about such a thing. After all, for the matter mentioned in the letter about the greed for grain and silver for disaster relief of the imperial court of Yunzhou flood control for many years, it is a major crime of killing the heads of the nine clans in any dynasty. Although Xuanyuan Yuling is the prince, even if the emperor will not kill his son with his own hands, how can it not have an impact on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who wants to win the throne? At least if the emperor doesn't kill the prince, it will definitely be impossible for His Royal Highness the prince to participate in the battle for the throne. There is also the Prime Minister Lan, even if Prime Minister Lan doesn't care about how many things he has done for him under him for so many years, how much of the grain and silver from Yunzhou City is filial piety to him, at least he is not like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as a life talisman for the prince, and the emperor can still do it if he wants to.
However, Huang Taishou still couldn't understand why he had sent out the news for so many days, but there was no news from it. Moreover, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Prime Minister Lan Cheng don't care so much about the affairs of Yunzhou City? Or is it that you are unusually confident that you can deal with those three princes? At this time, Huang Taishou just wanted to break his head, but he would not have thought that even Prince Xuanyuan Yuling and Prime Minister Lan themselves thought that Huang Taishou had not replied at this moment.
In fact, Huang Taishou's feeling that he was in danger has become stronger and stronger in the past few days, and he has even begun to faintly feel in his heart that he will definitely be regarded as an outcast by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Prime Minister Lan. What's more, now that there is no communication between the two of them, such a thing has made this uneasy feeling even stronger, and even so strong that Huang Taishou can't calm down. Therefore, when Huang Taishou asked his master, 'Has there been any news from above', he unconsciously rubbed his hands nervously and paced back and forth. This is a performance that Huang Xunyi can only have when he is extremely anxious and uneasy in his heart.
However, Huang Taishou, who did not wait for any news from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Prime Minister Lan Cheng, never suspected that his news might not be able to be sent out at all, or more precisely, his news might be intercepted halfway after it was sent out of Yunzhou City. It should be said that it is not that he has not thought about it, but because he is still relatively confident in his forces in Yunzhou and the deployment of personnel in Yunzhou, including some other ideas, so he denied this speculation.
Since there is no way to send the secret letter of his letter to the capital at all, how can there be a corresponding secret letter passed down when the shadow of the secret letter of the connection between Prince Xuanyuan Yuling and Lan Cheng has not been seen or cannot be seen. Since there is no secret letter from the prince or Prime Minister Lan to pass down, how can this Huang Taishou get a reply from the 'above' prince and Prime Minister Lan?
Of course, he may never know that. In fact, when the second prince Xuanyuan Yuqi, the third prince Xuanyuan Yuchen and the fifth prince Xuanyuan Yulin began to set off for Yunzhou, Prime Minister Lan Cheng estimated that he had already begun to worry that the flood in Yunzhou might involve them in the matter of the greed for ink and disaster relief in recent years. It's just that this letter written by Prime Minister Lan Jinzhi himself left Jinling City, and it was intercepted by the people of the 'Ghost Pavilion' unknowingly, and then sent to a few people who were going to Yunzhou City.
At this time, Huang Taishou in the study could be said to be in a state of confusion, but he still asked without giving up: "Are you sure that the secret letter has been sent?" How many days have passed since the official asked me to send the confidential letter? ”
