[Chapter 4, Volume 4]

Section 474

Ink clouds crush the city.

At nightfall, the clouds disperse, revealing the starry spots that characterize summer.

The backyard of Sikong Mansion, lotus root perfume pavilion.

Lonely built on the bank of the lotus pond, there are no buildings and more than half a person's height within a hundred steps, there is no light or fire in the pavilion, and in the dark night, it looks like a house that has not been inhabited for a long time.

But under the frosty starlight, I saw that there were two people in the railing of the water pavilion, with wide robes and big sleeves, and the golden crown on their heads reflected little by little light in the starlight, standing silently opposite each other.

The night breeze blows over the lotus pond, bringing a fragrance to the Manxie Hanlian.

On the railing, every few steps, hanging insect repellent and mosquito repellent sacs, although the two of them stood quietly for a long time, only felt that the pool breeze was cool, poured into the robe all over the body comfortable, not the slightest pain in the hot summer.

After a long time, someone spoke, and said in a deep voice: "I have made it clear to the prince!" This person's voice is clear, listening to the voice, it is Wei Xinyong!

“…… Well. Wei Xinyong didn't say much after saying a word, and after a while, another person standing not far from him answered lightly, his voice was flickering, and it seemed that Song Yuwang's mind was no longer here.

Wei Xinyong didn't care, and said: "Su Xiuwei and Shen Zangli have not captured Yanzhou City so far, if the Holy Lord knows about this, he will definitely be furious, and then the Su family and the Shen family will be questioned; Not to mention the Taishi and Situ who knelt in the palace and decided to recapture Yanzhou by hiding the sky and crossing the sea. So four families have already been brought in. And the Liu family urgently needs the burden in the city, even if the Taiwei and the Marquis of Weiyuan have a gap, they will not be confused when it comes to the life and death of the Liu family...... It is not surprising that any of these five families hope that the crown prince will ascend the throne early. It's just that why is it you, Sikong who is the first to be moved? ”

Song Yu looked at the lotus pond and said lightly: "The world is in chaos, my Song family's scholarly family, even if there are private soldiers, it can't be compared with the Shen, Su, and Liu families." Now these three families have been involved in the bureau, but I am the only one who sells them a favor at this moment because of the case, why not? ”

"If that's the case, Lord Sikong should discuss with the other five, why did he pry the prince first?" Wei Xinyong smiled, obviously not believing it at all, "And Ling Ai is married to the fifth son of Fufeng Hall, who is the future master of the Su family, how can she ignore the safety of her mother's family?" Moreover, the Song family has not experienced troubled times, and is still among the six valves in the country, so how can they rely on other families? ”

"This time and that time." Song Yuwang was still calm, and said indifferently, "Now the people of Jiangnan Hall are not prosperous, I am an only son, and I only have two sons under my knees." The eldest grandson is still young and delicate, and the second grandson is just a toddler. And my mother has passed away again, although I have been robbed of love, and it is difficult to support me alone, I have to make friends with each family. ”

Wei Xinyong said: "This is also reasonable. This time, Mrs. Wei passed away, and Lord Sikong and his nephew in Xinjiang were robbed of their love, and his nephew in Tian returned to his hometown with his family to mourn...... This huge mansion is really empty. ”

Speaking of this, he changed his words and said, "It's just that I still don't understand why Lord Sikong didn't discuss with the other five lords, so he had to pry the prince first?!" ”

"Whether you understand it or not, isn't this what you want?" Song Yuwang finally stopped looking at Chi Zhong, retracted his gaze, and glanced at Wei Xinyong lightly, he didn't know if the starlight was too bleak, his eyes had a hint of desolation, "Otherwise, you will go and do this first, and then ask me?" Are you Wei Xinyong such an obedient person? Not to mention that I'm not your boss! ”

Wei Xinyong smiled and said, "Lord Sikong has never been involved in trouble, and he doesn't want to make such a big deal as soon as he makes a move...... I'm just curious. He narrowed his eyes, "Moreover, although I have teamed up with Ling Ai a few times, I have not had much contact with Lord Sikong. But I don't know why Lord Sikong found me to spread the word to the prince this time? ”

"One guest doesn't bother the two masters." Song Yuwang looked at Chizhong again, and said lightly, "When the prince offered a plan to the saint, ordered the Su and Shen families to send generals, and led the troops of the Liu family, didn't you come up with this idea?" Although the saint has never adopted it, you can let the prince give him a strong admonition, and you will have no regrets afterwards, which shows that the prince always has some trust in you. I ask you to say that you are more reliable than others. I don't have the intention to talk to the prince too much, so I will naturally look for you. ”

Wei Xinyong pondered for a moment and said, "Lord Sikong is really well-informed, I thought that my dealings with the prince were quite hidden. ”

"It's hidden, but the crown prince was watched by Queen Gu and grew up, and the industry and manpower he can use are eight out of ten. Nine were all looked at by the queen. Song Yuwang said indifferently, "And I, who almost became the father-in-law of the former prince, and I can still find out more or less about what the queen knows." ”

"This is also true, the prince is too young, and his biological mother and adoptive mother are not enough to compete with the queen, even if Concubine Deng is now on his side, but the concubine is not as shrewd as the queen." Wei Xinyong shook his head and said, "What I'm curious about is, why is Lord Sikong sure that I will promise?" ”

Song Yuwang smiled lightly and said: "You gave the prince an idea, and persuaded him to kneel under the Danqi to give him a strong admonition-then it was rumored that the prince was worried about the country and the people, and he did not hesitate to love his concubines and parents for the sake of the common people in the world. ”

Wei Xinyong smiled: "Since Lord Sikong has said this step, what can I say?" It's just that the Imperial Forest Army is under the command of the queen's family, and now the prince is not the queen's son, and the queen will definitely tell her brother to take a good look at Miyagi! And in the palace city, although the saint is old and confused, the Supreme has a group of loyal old men for decades. What's more, the queen is also afraid of the revenge of the crown prince after he ascends the throne...... Lord Sikong asked me to make it clear to the prince, but I don't know, what to do next? ”

"Didn't you just say that among the six valves in the country, the other five valves have a reason to participate in this matter?" Song Yuwang said lightly, "It's not a good habit to eat alone. ”

Wei Xinyong seemed to smile: "So, I'm going to run errands again?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince trusts you the most now, doesn't he?" Song Yuwang still said lightly.

…… When the stars on the horizon were bright and extinguished, and only a few stars were still hanging high in the sky, Wei Xinyong said goodbye.

Song Yuwang nodded indifferently to indicate that he knew, and continued to look at the lotus pond with his hands.

He heard Wei Xinyong's clogs stepping on the wooden floor of the cloister outside the water pavilion and gradually moving away.

It's just that just when Wei Xinyong was about to turn and disappear from his sight, he suddenly stopped.

From the corner of his eye, Song Yuwang saw him turn his head, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and was about to speak, but he heard Wei Xinyong say in a meaningful tone: "It's very good to smell the plantain planted outside Lord Sikong's study." ”

An understatement made Song Yuwang, who had always been indifferent before, as if he was indifferent to everything and didn't care about everything, his face changed suddenly!

He turned his head abruptly and glared at Wei Xinyong, his eyes were almost instantly red!

More than a dozen steps away, Wei Xinyong, who was high-crowned and broad-headed, also stared at him with burning eyes, and he didn't mean to back down at all!

He said softly, "I hate things like this. ”

Song Yuwang hoarsely voiced, word by word, like a blade: "You, still, want, say, what?" ”

"I'll let the prince do it himself!" With Wei Xinyong's words, Song Yuwang suddenly calmed down - after a moment of deathly silence, Song Yuwang suddenly let out a desolate long laugh!

He laughed for a long time, until the dawn of the sky had broken, Song Yuwang raised his sleeves to wipe his tears, shook his head, and said hesitantly: "Do you think I asked you to make it clear to the prince at this moment that this is for this?" Wrong, wrong, what I really want to do is to do it myself! ”

Wei Xinyong smiled, but turned around and continued to leave, until his figure turned around the corner, and after Song Yuwang couldn't see it, his last sentence floated over: "Do you dare to serve?" ”

From the corner gate, he walked out of the back door of Sikong's mansion, and Hu Nu personally drove the car to wait in the hidden place in the alley.

After Wei Xinyong got into the car, Hu Nu handed him ginseng tea for him to drink, looking at the haggard eyes of his handsome eyebrows that could not be concealed under the lights in the car, the loyal scholar couldn't help but persuade: "Even if Gongzi has something to discuss with others in the future, he should try to choose a daytime as much as possible?" often talks all night long, and it hurts the body. ”

"It doesn't matter." Wei Xinyong drank ginseng tea, his face looked a little better, and he instructed lightly, "After I go back, I will send the remuneration to the grandson in front of the saint and the judge of the Tai Hospital." ”

"Yes." The tiger slave responded, thought about it, couldn't help it, and still asked, "The prince came to the imperial capital, worked hard, and even sold a lot of Mengshan jade mines to the Shen family at a low price, so that he could raise the silver money now." Why did he take out nearly half of the judgment with Sun Gonggong and the court this time, but only for a few cases? After all, the saint is mediocre, even if there is no news of the poor royal body, the world is already in chaos. ”

Wei Xinyong sighed, closed his eyes and said: "The world is chaotic, but those who take care of the world have been Taishi and others for decades, what does it have to do with the saint?" Besides, what I'm doing is not the world, it's for Song Sikong! ”

He sighed, "Wei Qi is also old, although the undercurrent in the court is turbulent now, but if the saint can drag on for a few more years, will I watch Wei Qi die safely?" How is this possible! I can't wait...... And among the six valves, only Song Sikong can afford to wait, and a mere few hundred thousand taels of silver can make Song Sikong kill the king, isn't this price cheap? ”

The tiger slave was surprised: "Song Sikong? He was puzzled, "Why did Song Sikong kill the king?" ”

"Do you remember Song Zaitian's divorce of his wife?" Wei Xinyong smiled silently, and said tiredly, "What kind of family are the six valves in the sea, how can the daughter of the door be divorced?" Even if the Duanmu family was in obscurity at the time, they would definitely not tolerate such humiliation. For this matter, Taishi Duanmuxing personally pleaded with Song Sikong, and Taishi is still Song Sikong's elder. But even so, Song Sikong didn't allow it. If it is only for the colorless and unvirtuous ...... Song Sikong's personality and his identity, how could he have a daughter-in-law to this point? How can there be no inside information in this! ”

The tiger slave subconsciously said: "What is the inside story?" ”
