Chapter 482: Gang Civil Strife, Political Fighting in Neighboring Countries
When the lights are on, it's not just Yee Hung Street that is lively.
Even in the wine shop of Baisha Dutou, it is also the time when there are many guests.
The restaurants here are mostly for merchants, the scale is not as luxurious as that in the inner city Ping'an Fang, basically located in the inn, although there are also elegant rooms, the furnishings are not as exquisite and elegant.
Few people know that this "Penglai Pavilion" facing the main street is ordinary on the surface, but it is actually the branch hall of the Wuyi League in Jinyangjing, and even fewer people know that the Jianghu Ranger Yulang, who has rented this inn for a long time, is actually the branch hall owner.
Except for the insiders in the Five Righteous Alliance.
At this time, the hall of the inn and the restaurant was full of friends, and the private room on the third floor was also full.
Although it is the New Year, there are still merchants running for profit.
When Wen Jin paced Fang Bu into a private room under the guidance of the guest Lang, he naturally did not attract the attention of others, on the surface, he had business dealings with Penglai Pavilion, so it was reasonable for people to invite the shopkeeper to come and see him.
The shopkeeper of Penglai Pavilion is surnamed Lei, and he is naturally also a member of the Wuyi Alliance, but he is not the one who can really be the master.
As soon as the shopkeeper Lei sat down, Wen Jin couldn't hide his anxiety, and said in a tight voice: "At first, I thought that the prostitute was easy to fool, but she was also a master who didn't see rabbits and didn't scatter eagles...... But I was asked to introduce a prince to her first, and I said that at first...... How can this be good. ”
"You really dare to boast, why don't you promise her to enter the palace as a concubine!" The eyebrows of the shopkeeper Lei are like charcoal paintings, the two are like lying silkworms, and the beard on his face is not very good.
Wen Jin was stunned: "I didn't also listen to you, master, when the future major events are decided, I will ...... with the Fourth Highness."
"Then I have to wait for this Penglai Pavilion to really come into my hands!" Shopkeeper Lei was full of anger: "The Fourth Highness is waiting for idlers to see it?" Why don't we do three or two things for him first, so that we can talk? It's a shame that you can figure it out! ”
After a while, the shopkeeper Lei finally suppressed his anger.
Of course, he knew that Wen Jin, who was born in a miscellaneous background in a hook bar, could not do everything, but what he was trying to do was the position of the hall master, and the manpower in the Wuyi Alliance could not be used for the time being, so he had to use this outsider to prevent Liangyu from being afraid first.
"What should I do now?" Wen Jin watched his master calm his anger before he dared to ask tremblingly.
Although he is a businessman on the surface and has a few shops on hand, the real owner is the shopkeeper Lei, and the wealth and wealth are all controlled by others, and Wen Jin has lost the scenery in front of the Yu family and Xiao Yan at this time.
"Let's discuss with Mr. Sun first, he is the staff of the Prince's Mansion, and he may be able to talk."
Wen Jin breathed a sigh of relief: "Although that prostitute is lowly, his appearance is indeed enchanting, and his voice is not bad for Yihong Nightingale, he may not have the ability to make His Royal Highness tempted, although this is a nobleman, I know that men in the world are the same...... At least this little girl's eyebrows and eyes are better than the red clothes on Yanguan Yihong Street back then, and the red clothes can charm the Third Highness. Wen Jin also thought that Xiao Yan was not worse than Yu's, Yu's was not a virgin back then, and Yu Dong was still fascinated, and he actually took a broken servant into the outer room, and also had children with her, men, no matter how noble their status was, they couldn't escape the word beauty.
It's a pity that a stunner like Xiao Yan, once she climbs to the heavenly nobility, others can no longer touch it, and she has to enjoy it before she "flies on the branches".
It turns out that this Lei shopkeeper is ambitious, and what he wants is not just the position of the hall master, but the head of the alliance, he also understands that only conspiracy and tricks cannot succeed, the leader Shenlong is not visible, he has been in the alliance for more than 20 years, and even the true face of the leader can not be seen, and he can only take step by step, first seize the master of the Jinyang branch, and then take advantage of the power of the four princes to achieve the "great cause" in the future.
The Wuyi League is one of the few hundred-year-old gangs in the rivers and lakes, the congregation covers the third-rate nine religions, and the ears and eyes are all over the world, which could have tried to get rich and powerful, but the ridiculous thing is that the leader is greedy for life and afraid of death, and restricts the congregation from following the rules...... If he Lei Ren can succeed, maybe he can put an emperor on the throne, and he will have the opportunity to worship the prime minister in the future.
The shopkeeper Lei has this ambition, and he has also gone through some calculations - he has some vision, seeing through that although the prince is a descendant, several princes are not willing to live under the people, careful analysis, the three princes are princelings, the prince is right, he will not look at him as a penniless, the three princes naturally can't take refuge, among the other princes, only the four princes are prominent, and the prince is suppressed, so they will "recruit virtuous people" to seek great causes.
So he made friends with the staff of the prince's mansion - the son-in-law of the Li family, the grandson of the family.
Lei Ren was also cautious, knowing that the gangs in the rivers and lakes would not see the light, and did not reveal his details, he only hoped that Sun Lang would be introduced first, and after he had done a few major things for His Royal Highness, he would make further plans in the future.
In the final analysis, he has not been able to really bridge with the four princes at the moment.
But if Xiao Yan can really vote for the opportunity of the four princes, it will also be beneficial and harmless.
Or you can try.
Not to mention how Lei Ren discussed the plan with Sun staff, let's look at the palace of the king of Chu first.
Approaching the Shangyuan Festival, Xiao Xie's in the palm of the feed not only has to entertain and exchange gifts, but also has to worry about the things of the lantern tower and the color shed, so busy that one foot does not touch the ground, Yu Dong is naturally not good to get out at this time to visit Yu's, visiting relatives and entertaining guests every day, and he is not idle.
On this day, a few guests who came to celebrate the New Year were sent out, and when he saw a black-clothed man with black power and knees completely indistinguishable from men and women in the concierge, Yu Dongden immediately took precautions, and was about to drink and question, but was ruthlessly stopped by Ash Du stepping forward with a cold face-
"It's a guest who came to see the prince."
So the dumb slave of the "cronies" around the Yu family entered Guan Sui Yuan in a dignified manner under Yu Dong's suspicious eyes.
Until the atrium flower hall, when the dumb slave picked up the fence and prostrate on the ground to meet the prince and his wife, Yu Dong, who returned to the study, was still thinking about who came.
The dumb slave is the first time to meet the hostess, and the beautiful scenery is naturally the first time to see her.
But he also understood that it was Yu Feng's eyes and ears who didn't know who he was planting around, and he didn't show surprise.
When he heard the dumb slave general's "strategy" tell me, Yi Jing couldn't help but shake his eyebrows.
Glancing at the people around him, it was still light and clear, Shizi didn't seem to be surprised at all, and only asked Wen Jin if he had revealed what kind of gang it was, but to no avail, Shizi said: "It's easy to come back and meet the dumb aunt, she misses you two sisters very much." ”
Only then did Yijing know that the woman was the daughter of a dumb aunt.
I have a stomach problem, but I don't know which one to ask first.
Yu Feng still understood, and while holding his wife's hand back to the room, he explained: "The dumb aunt really can't speak, but her hearing is better than ordinary people, and her two daughters are able-bodied people, but their hearing is more sensitive than others...... I already knew that Yu's heart was not right, and when I entrusted the Wuyi League to bring her back to Kyoto from Longxi, I placed the two daughters of Ming and Hui to her side, I didn't think that Yu's ignorance had reached such a situation, but just said that she was ruthless, and she was a good match for the second uncle. ”
Speaking of An Jin again, Yu Feng's expression was a little more solemn: "I kept the Yu family because I wanted to make the second uncle's backyard catch fire, but I never wanted to use An Jin...... If she ...... Even if my hard work is in vain, if she harms your heart, she will not be spared. ”
Just these words can't solve all the doubts in Yijing's heart, but if you want to ask, there are also those "unspeakable" reasons in them, after all, they are pressed, and they look up at the golden sunlight that penetrates the haze this day, outlining a bright color on the bridge of the man's beautiful nose, and there are slight ripples in the clear eyes.
Forgive me for not having the courage to say it, those who are buried in my heart guilt, this fashion has no shame to say in person.
Yu Dong paid great attention to the mysterious visitor with a black power cover, and arranged his own cronies to "eye" at the gate control on this day, waiting to keep an eye on the secret agent, but unfortunately until the door was closed at night, the visitor still did not come out.
The dumb slave in the "Farewell Garden" had already presented the arsenic obtained by order, and watched Yu's beautiful eyes scorching into the hollow golden hairpin.
An Jin was not aware that he was about to be pushed to the forefront, at this time, the maid scattered her hair, held a scroll of poetry in her hand, and was immersed in the graceful artistic conception under the literati and ink books.
Jiang Yue was losing her temper, of course, only at the personal maids in her yard-
On the first day of the first month, the clan entered the palace to congratulate, she had not been edicted because of no edict, she had felt a great shame, three days later was the Shangyuan Festival, this year the queen mother wanted to go to the Ping'an Gate Tower to watch the lanterns, please part of the clan to the banquet, everyone in the palace of Chu was edicted, only she and Zhi Niang were not qualified.
Xiao Xie "comforted" his daughter-in-law: "The palace has set up a colorful shed on the side of Ping'an Street, and it can't be completely vacant. ”
She was reduced to the point of having to socialize with Aunt Zhi! And it will also be "admired" by the ladies and ladies who come and go that day!
all know that she is disgusted and cold by the heavenly family, and although she marries into the clan, she is not qualified to participate in the palace banquet.
A good red gold hairpin was actually broken into a "dougong" by Jiang Yue in anger.
But no matter how Jiang Yue rejects, time can not stay for her, the Shangyuan Festival celebrated by the whole world comes on time, since the thirteenth day of the first month, Jinyangjing is full of lanterns, whether it is a nobleman or a common person, the eaves are hung with lanterns, the curfew is lifted, the people can visit the lamp market all night, watch the juggling, sing and dance, and celebrate the New Year.
The Son of Heaven received a letter of state from the king of Xiliang, a friendly country, outside Tongling Pass.
Unfortunately, the only concubine of the grandfather of the third prince did not survive the six years of Yuanqing, and when the king of Xiliang was elected as the crown prince by the crowd, he died of illness in November.
The king of Xiliang wanted to send Princess Jin Yuan, the daughter of the first prince, and the concubine of the Qing family, the third surname of Xiliang, to visit Dalong.
It seems that there is an intention to let the Qing family's sister-in-law marry and marry the women of the Dalong clan.
This intention was so profound that the Emperor of Dalong could not understand the plot of the King of Western Liang at all.
It was only after the three princes questioned that they understood.
It turns out that among the three surnames of Xiliang, the Wan family has no male - not to mention the son-in-law, even the concubine has died of illness, and the heirs of the Hu family are either married, or they are still young, and the only person who can marry Princess Jin Yuan at the right age is this Qing's sister-in-law, it should be that the king of Xiliang is not yet dead, and insists on abolishing the political meeting of the three leagues, and is unwilling to implement the covenant of "daughter-in-law and husband-in-law", so that the Xiliang regime falls into the hands of the Qing family, this time it is to let the son of Dalong give marriage, in order to deter the Qing family of Yunbian in Xiliang, so that this sister-in-law will lose the qualification to marry the princess.
"Could it be that the king of Xiliang wants Princess Jin Yuan to succeed to the throne?" The Son of Heaven was surprised, in this way, wouldn't the "friendly countries" want to have a queen?
The third prince pondered for a moment, and then said again: "The king of Xiliang has no children, and he is unwilling to let the power fall, so he can only let the princess succeed to the throne...... Father, the son of the minister sent an envoy to Xiliang in the old years, and learned that the Qing clan was rampant and arrogant, if he really let his surname control the power of Xiliang, maybe he would be hostile to Dalong in the future, although I am not afraid of barbarians in a big country, but if I can maintain peaceful coexistence is better than war and disputes. ”
The Son of Heaven bowed slightly: "The Qing family is one of the three surnames of Xiliang, and it is not low to be friendly with the daughter of my clan, but the Qing family has the heart to seize power, is it willing to submit?" ”
"Although the Qing clan has ambitions, it has not yet become a climate, and the king of Western Liang can still suppress it, and the Qing clan may not think that marrying my Dalong is conducive to his strategy of seizing power." The third prince chuckled: "The Qing clan has long known that the King of Xiliang wants to abolish the 'Three Alliances Political Council' and monopolize power, so naturally he will not only rely on the policy of 'daughter-in-law and husband', and it is beneficial and harmless to be good friends with my Dalong." ”
The Son of Heaven thought so, and the phoenix eyes picked: "In this way, you have to pay attention to the daughter of the clan who is to marry the boudoir, in my opinion, to make the Qing family accept it willingly, it can't be from the sect that is not valued at all." ”
In this way, the Qing clan will think that the harmony is valuable, and will not be rejected, so as to achieve the strategy of the king of Western Liang to delay the army.
The third prince smiled charmingly: "Father Emperor Shengming." ”
