Chapter 572: The Future Is Promising
Princess, what are you looking at? Seeing Wen Ling stop, Yi Yu also stood on tiptoe and looked in the direction Wen Ling was looking at, but unfortunately all he saw was a few people who hurriedly touched their bags and entered the gambling house, nothing special, a group of gamblers.
"Rong Qing."
"Yes."
"You go to the gambling house to see, is that person Zhang Tianshi just now?"
Rong Qing glanced at it, nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Fang Cai is also familiar with the side face and back, Wen Ling has seen Zhang Tianshi a few times, and also knows that Zhang Tianshi is not in the palace now, because of the gold medal given by the emperor to avoid death, Gu Xun had to let go of Zhang Tianshi.
However, although Zhang Tianshi has always been at odds with Du Zhong in the court, in fact, both Wen Ling and Gu Xun suspect that the two have secret dealings, and even the death of the first emperor is inseparable from Zhang Tianshi.
Yi Yu quietly followed Wen Ling and waited for a while, then saw Rong Qing come back and said, "It's him." ”
Wen Ling furrowed his brows.
Zhang Tianshi, who was just a little bit more sloppy, looked sloppy, and his eyes were no longer the same as when he was in the Jin Palace, but he pulled up his hair, wore a coarse cloth, and had a little more beard on his face, looking sloppy, and his eyes were no longer the color of the day.
"Zhang Tianshi is not a cultivator, how did he fall into the realm of a gambler?" Wen Ling was suspicious in his heart, "Rong Qing, this Heavenly Master is no longer an alchemist, no longer a magic stick, and a gambler?" ”
Rong Qing nodded and said, "Yes, Zhang Tianshi has been monitored by our people all the time. ”
I wanted to see if Zhang Tianshi had any contact with Du Zhong, but he never found it.
"So he's been here a lot lately?" Wen Ling glanced at the plaque of the gambling house, Ruyi Gambling House.
"Yes." Rong Qing nodded, "Recently, Zhang Tianshi has been extremely lucky, and every time he gets ten taels of silver, he can win a hundred taels, and this has been the case for the past few days." ”
Wen Ling saw that there were many people around, so he didn't linger on the street and went back to the embassy directly.
In my heart, I wondered, this Heavenly Master Alchemy killed the first emperor, why did he stay here if he didn't leave Mocheng quickly?
There are a lot of books to relieve boredom in the embassy, and Gu Xun has sent a lot more recently.
On the top is the etiquette of the enthronement ceremony of the Jin Kingdom and the ceremony after the sealing.
However, Wen Ling looked at it, there was no difference from that of Qi, the state system of Jin was not perfect, and most of them were imitating Wei or Qi.
This etiquette system was originally in the books brought by Wen Ling, and if you are single, according to the rules, Wen Ling also has to read it.
About Mo Gu Xun also knows Wen Ling's temperament, it is good to have clear rules and processes, the top is a book of the Eight Classics, and the bottom is some wild history grass, Wen Ling turned out the small talk book, suddenly remembered something, and sighed heavily.
"But what's wrong? Why is the princess sighing like this? Xianqin heard a sigh, and when she saw Wen Ling's expression, she thought that there was something else, and asked worriedly.
"Bengong just remembered, one year Bengong liked to read wild books, and found a lot of wild books to read, and the imperial brother was angry and burned my bookcase, so that I could read a bunch of Jianzheng and national history."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also for the good of the princess." The strings are naturally remembered.
Wen Ling picked out a copy from the book Gu Xun prepared for her and opened it, and couldn't help but smile, "But now someone has sent this thing to me." ”
"It's just that I didn't expect that the eldest prince could still understand the princess's preferences, and if the princess married the eldest prince in the future, the eldest prince would not wronged the princess." If the gold, silver, jewelry, silk and silk are sent, they may not be able to see it.
Xianqin said this, Wen Ling paused, but he hadn't told the two of them that Gu Rin was Gu Xun.
Yi Yu and the stringed piano never mentioned Gu Xun again, and even the clay figurines sent by the Zhai family that day were received at the bottom of the box.
Wen Ling flipped through a book casually and sat by the window to watch, there was a lot of traffic outside, but it was very lively.
The first emperor died, the new emperor ascended the throne, the Jin and the land were unified, the joy was greater than the mourning, and the first emperor of the Jin State was mourned, only seven days, but in March, it was not allowed to do marriage, birthday banquets and other joys. Therefore, Gu Xun's ascension to the throne and the canonization of Wen Ling is to be crowned directly, and there will be no folk ceremonies, but these are acceptable to Wen Ling.
Yi Yu and the chord piano tidied up the house, and for a while there was a feeling of some quiet years.
Now that Yu Wenjing is coming, Wen Ling is also going to be canonized as the queen, the war is over, everything is settled, and it is finally like a home is about to be, no longer living in this embassy, waiting indefinitely.
I saw Wen Ling looking at the book, and when he saw half of it, his expression suddenly changed, and he looked at the words in the book with a strange expression.
He said, "Rong Qing." ”
Rong Qing, who was guarding the door, immediately said, "Yes." ”
"Come in."
"But the princess has something to order?"
Rong Qing stood straight.
"You said that you haven't found the relationship between Zhang Tianshi and the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Wen Ling said softly.
"Yes."
"What about the casinos? Is the gambling house related to the Prime Minister's Office? Wen Ling asked.
"There are no gambling houses." Rong Qing said, "Behind the gambling house is a businessman, but he has never intersected with the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”
"What about the dealer?" Wen Ling asked, "Or, what about the owner of the gambling house?" ”
Although it is said that there must be someone behind the gambling house, Wen Ling is strange when he reads this book, and someone in it has made an opinion on the gambling house. First of all, it is certainly impossible for everyone to win, only a small percentage of the winners are lost, and most of them are lost.
Therefore, this requires a dealer who is extremely good at dice, and at the same time, if a person wins more, he will definitely attract the attention of the gambling house, and the gambling house cannot watch the silver flow into other people's pockets in vain.
Wen Ling felt that this made sense, otherwise the gambling house would not have been able to lose more and win less.
"This ...... I didn't pay attention to it. Rong Qing thought for a moment and realized something, "The princess is suspicious, Zhang Tianshi contacted the Prime Minister's Mansion through the gambling house?" ”
"It's very likely, there should be nothing wrong with the direction, in Qi country, gambling houses have always been a good place to launder money. Even if the court suppresses it, it can't be suppressed, and most of the time it can only turn a blind eye. Wen Ling closed the notebook, "But there must be a reason why the other party did not leave, but stayed in Mocheng, but Zhang Tianshi's previous identity is known?" ”
Rong Qing opened his mouth and said, "I checked it before, but there is no information about the other party, saying that he has been cultivating in the Dao Hall since he was a child, so he has never established it in the official mansion." Moreover, the laws of the Jin Kingdom are not perfect, and it has been in a situation of continuous civil strife, so it is indeed not easy to inquire about a person's identity in the sea. What is certain is that the other party is not a native of Mocheng, and it is very likely that he came from somewhere else, but over the years, there is no way to investigate, he may have changed his name and surname, but he can't find out. ”
"However, what the princess said is also possible, these days, His Royal Highness is busy with the affairs of the court, the Jin civil strife is continuous, and he is already busy, and Zhang Tianshi's affairs are just to send people to follow. Although the master knew that he was extremely problematic, he was only the person behind the gambling house, but he ignored that it was not the gambling house that might be the problem, but someone in the gambling house. Rong Qing said again, "Your subordinates can pass on the news and let them check it again." ”
Wen Ling let out an "ah" and said casually, "That's how I mentioned it." ”
After hearing this, Rong Qing smiled and said, "The princess is really made in heaven with Her Royal Highness. ”
"Huh? How to say? Wen Ling glanced at Rong Qing.
Rong Qing said, "Your Highness will not be able to pay attention to details in some things, but the princess is extremely careful. Nowadays, we have a small number of people, and we must be cautious in our investigation, so as not to startle the snake, and the investigation may be a little sloppy, so we have not found clues for a long time. ”
Wen Ling pursed her lips, "If you can help, that's good." ”
After all, she will also enter the palace in the near future, to be honest, Wen Ling doesn't like Du Zhong to calculate her, she won't take the initiative to calculate people, but if others calculate her, she will naturally not be polite. But right now, I can do what I can do, and it just so happens that the royal brother is also coming.
But thinking about it, why is it a bit of a headache?
Wen Ling went to bed early at night, and as soon as the lights were turned off, he heard a sound from the window.
Before he could get up, he heard a deep voice say, "It's me." ”
"You? What are you doing here? Wen Ling sat up and wanted to light the lamp in the dark, "Aren't you unable to leave the palace?" ”
Before he could touch the candlestick, his waist was wrapped, "I want to see you, Rong Bing won't let me come out, but I still can't help it." ”
The back was pressed tightly against the hot chest.
Wen Ling's heart was pounding.
"Gu Xun, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, I'm just a little tired." Gu Xun rested his head on Wen Ling's shoulder, "I never thought that being an emperor would be so tiring. ”
Once upon a time, he desperately wanted to help the royal brother, but he was rejected.
At that time, he thought that he was not good enough.
But now that the imperial brother is gone, his father is gone, and there is no one on his head, he has to pretend to be the imperial brother to secretly send someone to investigate, and he has to deal with state affairs, only to know that these things are so troublesome.
The recitals that Du Zhong presented to him every day were all telling him about the riots in the four places.
But no one in the civil service could come up with a solution.
Although he knew that it must be Du Zhong's instructions, if it was the imperial brother, everything would definitely be handled in an orderly manner, but he gritted his teeth and followed the pace of the imperial brother, but in the end he felt exhausted.
Wen Ling didn't stretch out his hand to light the lamp, and only said after a while, "Ah Xun, when I enter the palace, I can help you." ”
"Chang'an, you don't like the palace either, do you? You said that you want to go out and have a look, and I also promised you that when I become the king and marry you and go to the back cover, I can secretly take you back to Qi Kingdom, and then go to various places to play......" Gu Xun leaned against Wen Ling's shoulder and neck and took a deep breath.
"It's okay, in fact, since I knew that you were still alive, I felt that it was not bad to stay in the Jin Kingdom."
"Chang'an, Bai Yue is going to enter the palace." Gu Xun suddenly said this, and raised his head in the dark, "It's tomorrow." ”
White Moon?
Wen Ling frowned, "Who is it?" ”
"She is the disguiser of the royal brother and has followed the imperial brother for many years." Gu Xun said softly, "She has the flesh and blood of the imperial brother in her belly. ”
Wen Ling suddenly remembered the words of passers-by he had heard that day.
"Gu Rin, did he really leave the child?"
"Well, there was some accident in the border area, and the imperial brother was calculated. Bai Yue has followed the imperial brother for many years, and has a crush on the imperial brother for many years, but has not received a reply, and has left the imperial brother's heirs by mistake......" Gu Xun nodded, "Now that your imperial brother is about to enter the Qi, when he comes over, he will definitely ask about it, the imperial brother's children can't be left behind, you and I can't show your stuff in the palace, and now I pretend to be the imperial brother, and the relationship with you will naturally not be too good, Du Zhong will definitely take advantage of this to separate our relationship." But we can also plan the plan, the edict of Shenglong has not been found, and the handle of Du Zhong has not yet been obtained, so I will tell you this matter personally, so you will not be misunderstood. ”
“…… Do you want to tell the royal brother? Wen Ling understood.
"Your imperial brother has come all the way, and dividing Tuyuhun is just one reason, and it is more worried that you are married to 'me'. If I had an only sister, I wouldn't want her to marry far away, and marry someone I didn't like. So...... I have a plan ......"
"What's the plan?"
"I don't know if I'll ever be able to recover myself in this life, but now that I'm sitting in this position, I can't take off my mask." Gu Xun paused, "I want to make Baiyue a concubine, if she gives birth to a son, she will be made the crown prince, after dealing with the affairs of Du Zhong, and settling down in the court, I will take you away and fulfill the promise I once made to you, and I will not let you never see your relatives again for the rest of your life." ”
Wen Ling was stunned, he didn't expect Gu Xun to think about it like this, and said slowly after a while, "Like this, how many years is that...... And...... How do you know it's a son? ”
Not to mention how many years it takes to raise an unborn child?
Gu Xun smiled, "Take a gamble, no matter what the result is, but with such a direction, you know that the future can be expected." ”
