Chapter 249: The dust settles, and the old place is revisited

Since accepting his new identity, Chen Lan is still the first time to fight like this, even though his eyes are already a little sour, but he has no ** to sleep with his eyes closed. Since they were not summoned, Qin Fang and Hongluo did not come to disturb them, except for the flames of the two oil lamps in the room that flickered slightly from time to time, only the sound of her flipping a book and the sound of breathing that became heavier from time to time.

When she closed the last page, she felt that her back and shoulders were all sore because she had been in the same position for a long time, and her hands involuntarily spasmed slightly. This is not written down by Lin Changhui in his twilight years, it is just an ordinary diary in his early years, and the total span is only half a year, or he writes down a few strokes every day, or he writes it every three or five days, or he simply smears two sentences in ten days and half a month, all in all, Lin Changhui seems to be very casual, just taking this as a pastime to relieve his mood.

Laughing and scolding are all articles, and the people outlined in these diaries are completely different from the Chu Taizu who is only wise and martial in the history books.

He sometimes praised the idea of Mu Huan, the Duke of Chu, sometimes complained in his diary like an ordinary person, sometimes sighed and complained about the queen's short temper, sometimes laughed at those Confucian scholars who wrote and reported auspiciousness for a while, and sometimes recorded some mature and immature systems and ideas. When mentioning Mu Huan, he always has a little closeness and helplessness; When he mentioned the queen, he always had a little respect and even fear...... All in all, through these, she clearly saw an ordinary person with flesh and blood.

After packing up the book, Chen Lan finally called Qin Fang Hongluo, and only after packing up did he go back to bed in the west room. That night, she didn't sleep deeply, and the images she had never seen appeared in her dreams one after another, and she deduced countless bizarre stories, and when she opened her eyes tiredly in the morning, she could barely remember a single star.

If it is said that the first imperial historians left and right because of the emperor's sudden illness, and then stayed in the middle again and again, and the long-accumulated punch seemed to hit the cotton ball, then, the sudden change made the court seem to blow a cold wind, and those who were ready to move became immobile, and those who did not move became turtles with shrunken heads, and those who jumped the most at the beginning suddenly became the target of everyone.

Yu Chengen, the imperial history of patrolling the city, was referred to as accepting the usual bribes from the commander of the soldiers of the five cities, and a total of 20,000 taels of silver in two years!

Deng Zhong, the book of the Jin Dynasty's palace, was involved in embezzlement of ink and silver, encroachment on people's land, and fraud...... There are a total of seven or eight crimes, even if it is a light sentence, to say the least, it is a crime of exile for 3,000 miles, expulsion from the people, and no family property.

These two have both been put down to the palace official prison, in addition, those who wrote to ask for the prince, except for a few Qingliu who have a good reputation, the rest have been found to be involved with the first self-hanged King Wu, after the impeachment, some were put under the brocade clothes to guard the prison, and some were investigated by the Dali Temple in conjunction with the Criminal Department. Those who participated in the Yangning Marquis Mansion and the Xuanfu Datong mutual market fraud case were sent to the Xuanfu by a group of brains, and ordered Liu Tao, the governor of Xuanda, to re-investigate, and if the results could not be found, they were not allowed to return to the court.

All in all, in two days, the already one-sided tide completely turned, and the court was silent for a while.

So, on the morning of the Double Ninth Festival, when the emperor ascended the Long Live Mountain after the early dynasty, the accompanying Wenwu looked at the Son of Heaven who was walking up the stairs with his back hands and couldn't see the slightest sickness, and couldn't help but have an indescribable palpitation. As for those princes, they whispered words from time to time, looking at the smiling brothers, friends and brothers, and they couldn't see that there were two less in their ranks. Only a keen person can notice that the three steps away from King Jin are empty, and the rest of the princes have the heart to distance themselves from him.

And after the Yangning Marquis Mansion went out before dawn Chen Lan, the eunuch Xia in the palace was ushered in at this time. This time, he didn't come to convey the holy decree, but brought the decree around the concubine and the concubine - the matter is very simple, to be a matchmaker for the fifth lady Chen Xi, who is talking about Xiangyang Bo Li Rui. For such an incident, except for the Zhu family, everyone else in the family was surprised. After all, Chen Ying heard the wind up and down during the commotion, and thought that the matter would come to an end, but how could she have thought that Luo Guifei would come forward and not mention it, and even pull Concubine Shu? Didn't the pioneer hear that these two were all watching the middle palace and not playing against each other?

When Aunt Luo, who was sternly warned by Chen Ying that she couldn't even get out of the courtyard gate, was invited out of the house, and when she learned such news, she only felt like a dream, and she only knew that she followed Zhang's mother who came to lead the way to the front in a daze, but found that Chen Xi had already come, and her expression was almost the same as herself. Seeing that the two eunuchs who followed Eunuch Xia took out the rewards of the concubine and the concubine with a smile, and saw Chen Xi kneeling down with a complicated face, she finally couldn't accept the ups and downs, and her legs were weak and fainted all of a sudden.

The Xia eunuch of the Yangning Hou Mansion personally took charge, and the Xiangyang Bo Mansion naturally also had a corresponding human branch. At the same time as the chickens and dogs on both sides of the mansion jumped, a person also ran out of the gate of the Yangning Hou Mansion quickly, and after getting on the horse, he walked along the back street with a smoke. About two quarters of an hour later, Chen Ying, who had just returned to the Left Army Governor's Mansion with the climb to Long Live Mountain, got the news. Compared with the surprise of King Jin's sharp and precise methods, the sudden arrival of his daughter's marriage undoubtedly caught him off guard.

"Damn! Damn it! ”

He slammed his fist on the table, and his face suddenly became extremely hideous. However, the five fingers straightened and clenched, clenched and straightened, even if the knuckles clicked, but in the end he had to breathe a sigh of relief.

Naturally, all this is not without room for redemption, as long as the emperor is willing to give marriage...... However, now that King Jing is still in the period of filial piety, Chen Xi is not as shrewd and cunning as Chen Lan, and he doesn't even want to listen to his own words, so there is no hope for him in a thousand.

Luo Xu...... Chen Lan! He pronounced the two names hatefully, and before he knew it, he was already gritting his teeth, "Don't rejoice too soon, don't think you're going to win...... Come! ”

At the sound of his voice, a long attendant immediately entered the door, and after saluting, he stood there with his head bowed and his hands down. Chen Ying whispered a few words, then pulled a small piece of paper and hurriedly wrote a few words, sealed it in front of him, and then handed it over, and said word by word: "Remember, it must be sent to His Royal Highness, whether it is a message or a receipt, you must bring the reply back, otherwise you don't have to come back!" ”

The chief hurriedly knelt down on his knees and kowtowed: "Don't worry, master, the little one will definitely do it!" ”

"Go ahead!"

When the palace was climbing the Long Live Mountain, the county lord of Yixing and his entourage had already entered the mountain gate of the Great Compassion Temple. The temple had already been cleaned several times, and the abbot of the letter went out with a group of deacons and monks to greet him, and then he was accompanied by the presiding officer himself and the two seven or eight-year-old novices. After accompanying these noble ladies around for a while, the host withdrew, and only two young novices answered at the door. At this time, everyone tasted the fragrant tea brewed in the local mountain spring, and naturally divided into several groups.

In addition to the county lord of Yixing, Yang Mujiang and Chen Lan Zhang Huixin, there are also the daughter of the eldest princess of Longyou, the county lord of Yongle, the duchess of Anguo, the duchess of Yingguo, and the wife of the Marquis of Nanyang...... There are a total of ten people, either relatives of the emperor and the country, or the family is relatively independent and does not get involved in fighting, such as the first three nobles have been in decline for many years. At this time, the county lord of Yixing took the Jiang family and Chen Lan and Zhang Huixin into a meditation room alone to sit and drink tea, and after chatting for a while, she looked at Chen Lan and said: "Ah Lan, look at you like this, you can't be idle outside!" It's hard for you to survive these days, so let's take a break today, although I think so much about what I don't have. ”

Chen Lanyuan was a little distracted, but when he heard the sound and looked up, he missed the first half of the Yixing County Lord's sentence, and when he smiled to cover it up, he didn't want to be pinched on the cheek by Zhang Huixin, so he turned his head and glared at her angrily.

"Look at what I'm doing, climbing up is just to let go of the depression of your head, how can you have such a heavy mind! When the sky falls, there are tall people on top, and they can't hit me anyway! ”

Seeing that Zhang Huixin was already dressed as a young woman, there was still no shortage of girls in her conversation, Jiang couldn't help but laugh, and looked at Chen Lan and said with concern: "Third Miss, what the county lord and Mrs. Dai said is that since they came out today, they should take a good rest and relax, after all, it is a rare opportunity." In the past, going out of the city was often in the Shuangta Temple, and it was rare to go to the suburbs. ”

The stepmother said this, the stepsister said this, and the future mother-in-law also said the same, Chen Lan nodded spontaneously, and couldn't help but think that Yang Jinzhou personally came to the door yesterday to deliver the Double Ninth Festival gift, and gave him a delicate boxwood bead bracelet. After tasting a cup of fragrant tea, when she warmed the sedan chair, she learned that the next place to go was Longquan Nunnery, and she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

Is it the only Longquan Nunnery where she used to use a wheelchair to push her sick brother in the Eight Great Divisions?

I think that the Taizu Lin Changhui was really an interesting person. According to the diary, almost all the places in Beijing in later generations, at the beginning of the establishment of the Chu Dynasty, he vigorously repaired some of them, and all those that were not built according to memory, as if with these can recall the era that can never be seen again, it is both a big stroke and a small spirit.

From this point of view, the majestic and strategic Chu Taizu in the history books, the god who descended from Zi Weixing in folk rumors, is actually just an ordinary person who can't forget the past. These temple buildings, others may think that this is Taizu's belief in gods and Buddhas, but the root of it is for the past that cannot be forgotten. But what about her? In the middle of the night, only half a year later, it seemed that there was not much left of her memory of that era......
