Chapter 3, Section 14 Scheming

Back in Fengchen Mansion, it was already time to hold the lamp.

Chengshan hadn't seen Shao Hui and Gongsun Yu for a day, and he didn't know what these two guys would think of him, but he had made up his mind and went his own way, no matter what others said.

After entering the house, he saw two people sitting at the table drinking tea, probably waiting for him to come back, so he walked over generously.

"The Scholar is back. Shao Hui's tone was yin and yang, which made Chengshan feel very uncomfortable.

"You bald man is making noise again!" Chengshan was also very hard-mouthed, and he didn't know why, since he saw Shangguan Wan'er, he felt that he should be stimulated by male hormones, especially after sweating like rain, he felt the power of men surging in the bottom of his heart.

"Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, Chengshan, you have stayed here for a day, is it enough?" Shao Hui didn't expect that Chengshan's face was getting thicker and thicker, what he did in this era, as long as Shao Hui and Gongsun Yu didn't go back and talk nonsense, he could be safe and continue to be his hypocrite, which made Shao Hui very unhappy.

But Chengshan didn't think so, he concluded that Shaohui couldn't eat grapes and said that grapes were sour, and when he saw other cats eating fish, he was greedy. Life always has to take this step, it's just that the timing and characters are different, what's the fuss about?

"What are you doing today?" Seongsan wanted to change the subject as soon as possible.

"What else can I do, just enter the palace to accompany Wu Zetian, how can you be like you everywhere to mess with flowers and grass and enjoy Qingfu. I also saw Shangguan Wan'er in the morning, didn't you go to her? and others?"

"Where did you come from so much nonsense? Be a good monk, remember the six roots of purity, you know?" Chengshan patted Shao Hui's bald head.

"Alright, alright, don't make a fuss. When you're done with business, it's never too late to make trouble. Gongsun Yu's face was heavy, and he was very dissatisfied with the words and deeds of his two companions.

"Alright then, I'll start with that. In order to clear up the involvement, Chengshan cut down the complicated things that happened last night and briefly talked about them. When talking about the process of formulating the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens, he chatted with Gongsun Yu a few more words. Gongsun Yu also agreed with his views and tried not to participate in political activities to prevent being involved in it and not being able to extricate himself.

"What are you doing again? Chengshan walked over and touched Shaohui's bald head, the two of them were still good friends.

"Take your hands away!" Shao Hui hates people touching his head the most.

"In the morning, I accompanied His Majesty in the palace with Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong, and I didn't know what to do, but I only occasionally chatted with His Majesty. When they talk about serious things, they keep their voices down and I can't hear anything. I also met the two princes, Li Xian and Li Dan, as well as Wu Sansi, and many ministers of the DPRK and China, there were so many people that I couldn't remember their names. ”

"Didn't they bully you?" In the past, Xue Huaiyi was rampaging in the palace, when a prime minister asked someone to beat him up, and now another monk has appeared, will it have the same fate?

"Who dare!" They were very polite when they saw me, and they saluted me respectfully. And it looks like everyone is good, and they are all submissive. I thought that the ancient court was full of blood and blood, so it seems that everyone is not in harmony?"

"Childish. Chengshan pouted, he didn't bother to comment on Shao Hui, and turned to look at Gongsun Yu. "What did you do?"

"I went to the Guanwendian Academy, which is the Royal Library, to look up some information, and then went to the Tai Hospital. They did their best to maintain Wu Zetian's body, after all, they were old, but according to their current physical condition, there would not be much problem for a while. ”

"That's all?"

"There's one more important thing. Gongsun Yu stood up, walked to the door, opened the door and looked out to make sure that there was no eavesdropping at the door.

"What's so mysterious?" Shao Hui was a little surprised, he didn't expect Gongsun Yu to be so cautious.

"This matter cannot be said nonsense, and it has to be said. You also know that it is an eventful time, Wu Zetian is sick again, and an accident may happen at any time. Gongsun Yu returned to the table and lowered his voice.

"On the face of it, this is a struggle for power by various forces. But in fact, this is closely related to our spirit gathering clan. The reason why Wu Zetian was able to become the emperor was because someone was secretly helping her, and the person who planted the spirit in her body was the current Yongji co-master, this co-master knew people when Wu Zetian was young, and he was strong first, and implanted spiritual power in Wu Zetian's body. ”

But the fate of the Wu Zhou dynasty was very short-lived, with only one emperor, and his successor became the center of attention. Some people think that he is the prince of the Li Tang royal family, some people think that he is the nephew of Wu Zetian, and some even think that he is the princess of Taiping. These people are constantly competing for power, but in fact, there are many spirit collectors behind them, to be precise, Huiling Immortal Venerable is behind the scenes. Although on the surface they are harmonious and non-aggression against each other, they both want to come out on top in the struggle for power. ”

"They are constantly exerting spiritual power on the bodies of these political figures, stimulating them to generate more ideas, and fighting openly and secretly around the power in Wu Zetian's hands. They split into several gangs, and the outcome of the struggle is becoming clear. But the three of us must not be involved, we must stay out of it, let alone tell them the story that is about to happen. I have already said this point, and now I want to make it clear again, and I hope that you will pay attention. ”

Speaking of which, Gongsun Yu took a look at Shao Hui, Shao Hui has a naΓ―ve personality, and sometimes he will not choose what to say, in case he misses his mouth, it will be troublesome.

"Yuan Yijie's master, Baili Xuan, is also a Huiling Immortal Venerable, and he also participated in this power struggle. He is supporting several ministers of the DPRK and China, who are now plotting to take advantage of Wu Zetian......"

Gongsun Yu paused suddenly, he felt someone outside the door listening to their conversation, and he glanced at the other two. "It's not early today, let's go back and rest. ”

"Okay. Shao Hui stood up and stretched. "I'll go back to my room and rest first. He pushed the door open, and clearly felt a figure passing by, but he also pretended not to see it, and went around the verandah to his room.

"I'll tell you briefly. Gongsun Yu didn't open his mouth, he communicated with Chengshan in code. "Bai Li Xuan may succeed in this palace coup, but his fate will not be too good, and he is also the murderer behind the murder of Yuan Yijie's parents, now Yijie does not know, and asked me to help him investigate the whereabouts of his parents. I will delay for a few days, Bailixuan should reveal the mystery to Yijie at the appropriate time, and before that, we must not act rashly. No matter what Yijie asks you to do for him, you have to shirk it, saying that you don't have time, just let me help him deal with it. ”

"No problem, then there is labor. Chengshan nodded slightly at Gongsun Yu. Hearing him say about his biological parents, Chengshan couldn't help but think of his own life experience, he did suspect Gongsun Yu at that time, thinking that Gongsun Yu was the mastermind behind the scenes. Why can't Bailixuan treat Yuan Yijie like Gongsun Yu?

These questions made Chengshan feel a little confused, but it was none of his business, he was thinking more about Shangguan Wan'er now, and the rest of the things would be handled by Gongsun Yu, it would be better for him not to let others interfere, and he would save a lot of trouble.

Poor Dao also took his leave and went back to rest. After Gongsun Yu finished speaking, he also arched his hand to Chengshan and pretended to exit the room.

Now Chengshan was the only one left in the room, and he quietly took out a handkerchief from his arms. This is a pink silk handkerchief with a pair of mandarin ducks embroidered on it. Seongsan gently put it next to his nose and sniffed it, and there was still a faint fragrance on it. It's a taste that haunts him, a smell that makes him sweat like rain.

What Gongsun Yu said just now, he didn't have the heart to listen at all, and all he thought about was the fragrance of this strand. Although the forty-year-old Shangguan Wan'er is not as good as Li Runying in her early twenties, her mature charm seems to be more charming, and her empathy can soothe the anxious and frenzied heart. Youth is beautiful, but green apples are not so refreshing, and ripeness and sunshine seem to be a perfect match.

He took a handkerchief to blow out the light and lay on the bed for a long time unable to sleep. He rolled over, suddenly felt something strange outside the window, and sat up alertly. Only a "whoosh" sound was heard, and a short arrow was shot from the window.

The short arrow seemed to have no power, and when it entered the house, it fell to the ground and did not move. Slightly surprised, Chengshan rolled over and got out of bed, quietly walked over, and picked up the arrow.

A note was tied to it, glowing slightly blue. Chengshan opened it and saw that the words "Don't talk about state affairs" were written on it, and Chengshan carefully analyzed the blue light on the note.

"It turned out to be him. Chengshan smiled slightly, it seems that he is really talkative, whether it is the secret leaked by Shangguan Wan'er or not, now someone knows that it is the order of personnel who suggested Wu Zetian to sacrifice to the sky on the winter solstice. Some people may not be happy to remind him that this unarmed scholar is careful in his words and deeds.

"Don't bother to pay attention to him. Cheng Shan easily destroyed the arrow and the note, and restored the damage on the door to its original state, he did not want anyone to know about it, and at the same time made up his mind not to intervene in the affairs of the court.

He just needs to spend these 100 days peacefully, and there should be only one person who accompanies him, that is, Shangguan Wan'er, and other people and other things are insignificant.
