Chapter 159 Taiping Mansion
Li Xiaoqi followed Nanning and hurried to the study outside King Liang's mansion, Mr. Liang had already arrived, and when he saw Li Xiaoqi coming in, he owed a debt with a solemn expression, Li Xiaoqi gave the two of them a salute, Su Zicheng handed a piece of paper to Li Xiaoyi, and Mr. Liang said in a low voice: "Emperor Wu is only afraid that it will be time." Li Xiaoqi lowered his head and quickly scanned the note, the letter was very simple, there was only one sentence, at the New Year's Day court meeting of Wu State, Emperor Wu received congratulations behind the curtain, and did not say a word.
"Is there any movement on the eldest prince's side?" Li Xiaoqi flipped through the note, as if he still wanted to see something from the back,
"It's business as usual on the surface." Su Zicheng frowned, and then said: "The eldest prince has great ambitions, can endure and tolerate, unless it is a last resort, it is difficult to see the movement from him, Jiayi passed a secret letter, saying that since the beginning of the year, there have been fewer waiters in the palace to go out to have fun, and it will be sharply reduced after the year. ”
Li Xiaoqi frowned, turned his head to look at Mr. Liang, but Mr. Liang looked at Su Zicheng and said in a low voice: "The whole court of Wu is in the hands of Wu Guifei, she is not mourning, what is the benefit?" ”
"If Emperor Wu is dead, this new throne is nothing more than two people, if Emperor Wu's edict is passed on to the eldest prince, rather than not mourning, it is better to set up the emperor's six sons, punish the eldest prince, if the edict is passed on to the six princes, naturally it is necessary to immediately Mingzong justice, proclaim the edict to ascend the throne, so that it is harmful and useless, not to mention that the eldest prince is already in the Taiping Mansion, how can she be allowed to act recklessly? It must not be a mountain collapse, when it is seriously ill, the winter solstice amnesty is also Wu Guifei for Emperor Wu's longevity, New Year's Day congratulations, the curtain should be sitting behind Emperor Wu, the curtain is silent, when it is sick and difficult to support, alas! Su Zicheng sighed and said irritably: "Thousands of miles apart, otherwise why would you be so confused!" ”
Mr. Liang nodded in agreement: "What the second master said is very true, I also think so, it would be good if I could be in Taiping Mansion, it would not be like this, such an extraordinary period, or I will go to Taiping Mansion?" Li Xiaoyi's heart moved slightly, and he hurriedly turned his head to look at Su Zicheng, Su Zicheng immediately shook his head and said: "Your identity is conspicuous, it is harmful to rush to Taiping Mansion at this time, let me •••••• it."
"Mr. is good at conspiracy, this conspiracy is not good, the Taiping Mansion at this time, it is a conspiracy to use." Li Xiaoqi smiled and continued, Su Zicheng seemed to have a 'um', Mr. Liang turned his head to look at Li Xiaoyi, Li Xiaoqi winked at him, and then said: "I'll go to Taiping Mansion, this is the most suitable." Su Zicheng turned to look at Li Xiaoqi violently, and blurted out: "No! Li Xiaoqi met Su Zicheng's gaze, and said with a calm expression: "I am the most suitable to go, if you want to talk about calculating people, you also know, this is one, second, my status is low, unknown, not in Kaiping Mansion, whether I entered Taiping Mansion, no one pays attention, third, I have lived in Taiping Mansion for a while, and I am from Wu State, and I am not eye-catching when I come and go, fourth, Sun Shopkeeper and Yan Qingshan are both in Taiping Mansion, they are old acquaintances in the past, and they are convenient, and they are •••••• fifth."
Su Zicheng raised his hand to stop Li Xiaoyi's words, and categorically refused: "No! This is not a relative, today's Taiping Mansion is not worse than Longtan Tiger's Den, you are a weak woman, you can't go to such a place! Li Xiaoqi turned his head to look at Mr. Liang, Mr. Liang looked at Li Xiaoyi, and then at Su Zicheng, coughing a few times in his throat, as if contemplating and thinking, and said: "What the prince said makes sense, and what Xiao Wu said makes sense." Li Xiaoqi almost laughed out loud, this Mr. Liang, looking at Fangzheng, is actually the most slippery! Li Xiaoqi turned his head to look at Su Zicheng, smiled, and said seriously: "Then tell me, you want to let go of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?" Who else is more suitable to go to Taiping Mansion than me? Su Zicheng pursed his lips tightly, his face was cold, Mr. Liang twisted his beard, looked at Su Zicheng and carefully persuaded: "What Xiao Wu said makes sense, such an opportunity is fleeting, if the prince of Wu successfully ascends the throne, the great cause of the prince will be difficult, not only is it difficult to achieve the great cause, maybe there is a danger of military disasters in Beiping, Xiao Wu is thoughtful, and he is cautious in doing things, it is better to do this!" Mr. Liang said, as if he remembered something, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with a smile: "It's better to go to Taiping Mansion with Xiao Wu, I am in the light and in the dark, and the Taiping Mansion must pay attention to me here, Xiao Wu will be more convenient to act, and second, it will be safe." ”
Li Xiaoqi looked at Mr. Liang, Su Zicheng paced back and forth seven or eight times with his head down and his hands behind his back before he stopped, looked at Mr. Liang and said, "It's not appropriate for you to go, let Changming go." Li Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment, and was about to speak, Su Zicheng turned his head to look at her and said: "Let the three of Changchang, Xi'an and Nanning accompany you, the long-term kung fu is the best, the secret spies of the Taiping Mansion have always been in his charge, Xi'an is good at secret weapons and poison, you can rest assured with him by your side, Nanning is a safe person, let him settle down on the way, well, the girl next to you will bring two more over, I will pick a few more secret guards for you, no matter what you do along the way, you can't leave people around you, especially Changchang and Xi'an, and, don't eat indiscriminately when you go out." , no alcohol! Li Xiaoqi smiled all over his face, nodded again and again, as long as he could go, anything would be done, and he would talk about it when he went.
"In that case, this matter should be sooner rather than later, and I will leave early tomorrow morning!" Li Xiaoqi said with a hint of excitement, Su Zicheng stared at Li Xiaoqi with a calm face, as if he was still hesitating, Mr. Liang looked at Su Zicheng, turned his head to look at Li Xiaoqi and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's late today, where is the time to leave early tomorrow morning?" When you go to Taiping Mansion this time, it is most important to go to Taiping Mansion safely, whether it is on the road or to Taiping Mansion, you must be very careful. Li Xiaoqi smiled in response, Su Zicheng paced back and forth twice, and said in a muffled voice: "Don't mention the matter of you going to Taiping Mansion to anyone, you set off with me tomorrow night, Liangdi is not peaceful for a while, I will send you to Rucheng." ”
"Yes, yes, yes! The king does not lose his country, and the minister does not lose his body, as it should be! How long is the prince going to stay in Liangdi? Mr. Liang asked with praise repeatedly, Su Zicheng did not answer his words, only looked at Li Xiaoqi and then explained: "Don't delay too much in Taiping Mansion, go early and return early, come back from Zhengcheng into Liangdi, I will send someone to Zhengcheng to pick you up, and return to Kaiping Mansion from Liangdi." Su Zicheng said, turned his head to look at Mr. Liang and ordered: "Mr. doesn't have to follow him to Liangdi, stay in Kaiping Mansion and take care of Enke's affairs." Mr. Liang hurriedly smiled and agreed, Li Xiaoqi lowered his head and thought about it, looked up at Su Zicheng and said: "The prince doesn't need to send me more, the road from Kaiping Mansion to Taiping Mansion is far away, and you have to travel on the starry night. ”
Mr. Liang twisted his beard and nodded, Su Zicheng frowned, and only reluctantly nodded after a while to agree, Li Xiaoqi thought about it and smiled: "Two girls, just let Wisteria and Danyue follow?" ”
"Your girl, you can arrange it." Su Zicheng replied in a deep voice, paused, and continued: "Wu Guifei and the eldest prince are not easy people to deal with, although you have taken advantage of being in the dark, you must also be extremely cautious, you must not be careless, if there is anything, immediately let Changchang and Xi'an escort you to escape, you don't have to worry about the others, do you hear?!" ”
"Yes!" Li Xiaoqi agreed neatly, Su Zicheng's brows furrowed tighter, she promised simply, but how useful his words were to her, he was not sure, she had her own ideas and ideas, like a bird flying in the air, flying only with her own mind, he didn't know if he had a thread holding her in his hand, and he didn't know if he could pull her back in front of him when he wanted to pull her back.
"Lord, Taiping Mansion Jiayi, don't be idle, it's better to let people out of the wind first, just say that Emperor Wu has died, spread rumors on both sides, on the one hand, it is rumored that the emperor has passed on the throne of the eldest prince, and on the other hand, it is rumored that the emperor was to death by the eldest prince, how to say it specifically, let them say it casually, in short, the more chaotic, the better." Li Xiaoyi's mind turned quickly, Mr. Liang nodded in agreement, Su Zicheng pondered for a moment, said softly, raised his voice and called for a long time to come in, first ordered Jiayi to spread rumors, and then ordered: "•••••• From now on, your subordinates Taiping Mansion and Wu Guomi's secret spy listen to the arrangement of the fifth master, tomorrow night, you and Xi'an and Nanning will escort the fifth master to the Taiping Mansion, remember, first, no matter what, protect the fifth master is safe and sound, second, other things, listen to the arrangement of the fifth master, and talk to Xi'an and Nanning." , hurry up and get ready," Chang Chang Gong agreed, turned around again, saluted Li Xiaoyi, and withdrew with his hands down.
Li Xiaoqi stood up, arched his hand and retreated: "I'll also go back and prepare." Su Zicheng looked at Li Xiaoyi, and only after a while did he say yes, Li Xiaoqi and Mr. Liang said goodbye, turned around, and walked out of the main house briskly, Nanning stood at the door of the weeping flower and stretched his neck to look at the door of the main house, and when he saw Li Xiaoqi coming out, he hurriedly walked a few steps to meet him, and said with a smile: "Fifth master, I will go to prepare the car with the long term, how many girls will the fifth master bring?" How much luggage is there? Gotta see how many cars are prepared. “
"The prince ordered to bring two girls, there is not much luggage, you can watch and prepare the car, the faster we are on the road, the better, it is best to travel day and night, prepare a few more cars, so that everyone can take turns to get in the car and sleep for a while." Li Xiaoqi thought about it and ordered, Nanning hurriedly smiled and agreed: "Fifth master, don't worry, we are the best at this day and night, as long as we don't tire the fifth master." Nanning asked some details again, and accompanied Li Xiaoqi out to the second door to get into the car, watching Li Xiaoyi's car go, before returning to the outer study.
