Chapter 33 Strategizing

In the palace, Xiaoyaozi walked to the corner of a long corridor in the East Palace, suddenly stopped, and listened to the two little eunuchs standing guard outside the gate of the East Palace talking about the assassination of Zhang Jinyan and others:

"In my opinion, Lord Zhang and they were killed by Lord Bao. ”

"No, I think the new emperor should have sent someone to kill him. ”

"How is it possible? The new emperor has only returned a short time ago, and how can he know about the mess and in the palace. ”

"Lord Bao can tell the new emperor. ”

"Shhh

Xiaoyaozi laughed when he heard this, and walked over with a turn, "Your Majesty, drive here!" With the announcement of the prince-in-law, the three little eunuchs were so frightened that they immediately knelt on the ground, and kowtowed together in a trembling voice and shouted: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

"Get up. Xiaoyaozi patted the little eunuch on the outermost side and smiled, "What's your name?"

The little eunuch got up and bent down and bowed his head and replied: "Back to the emperor, the little grandson of the slave, formerly known as Sun Yulang, is from Cangzhou, Hebei. The prince covered his mouth when he heard this, and couldn't help but want to laugh.

"Little grandson, good name!" Xiaoyaozi clapped his hands, looked at the two little eunuchs who were discussing the unsolved case just now, and said with a smile, "Little grandson, what were the two of them talking about just now?"

"Back to the emperor, the slaves are not strictly disciplined! I hope that the emperor will approve me to punish them with capital punishment as an example!" The little grandson spoke upright and spoke in a tough tone.

"That's right. Give them two bottles of Crane Top Red, and leave them all dead. After finishing your errands, you come to Taihe Hall to report, and you will follow me in the future. With that, Xiaoyaozi brushed his sleeves away, and the prince looked at the two little eunuchs who were sitting on the ground peeing their pants with a frightened expression.

"Thank you, Emperor, send the emperor Wanfu Jin'an!" the little grandson laughed, and the two little eunuchs collapsed to the ground.

On the Taihe Palace, "Your Majesty, the little grandson asks to see!" the prince covered his mouth and wanted to laugh.

"Princess-in-law, as the head of internal affairs, look at the group of people you manage, stirring up gossip and gossip in the palace and confusing the public! What crime should you be guilty of?" Xiaoyaozi pointed at the prince and scolded bitterly.

The prince hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed and replied: "The old slave is guilty! The old slave is guilty! I am willing to ask the emperor to punish him!"

"Princess, now that my imperial brother's bones are not cold, the palace case has not been solved, but your people are chewing their tongues behind their backs, what is the use of me keeping you?! I give you the surname today, you will be called Su Yulang in the future, and I will be called Xiao Suzi!"

"Thank you, Emperor! Xiao Suzi must have done his best, and he will die!" Xiao Suzi knelt down again and again to thank him, looking at the prince who had collapsed to the ground, and the corners of his mouth showed a long-suppressed smile.

Xiao Suzi then instructed left and right: "Come on, put the prince in prison." Give him three feet of white silk and send him on his way at midnight today. Outside the door, two guards dragged the prince down.

At this time, An Daoqi, the servant of the Criminal Department, presented a stack of letters to meet the emperor, and Xiaoyaozi opened the letters and browsed them one by one.

"Your Majesty, after overnight torture and torture, Weichen finally gained something. There are letters to prove that Zhang Jinyan has been secretly colluding with Liu Huangtian, the general of Jincheng, to plot a rebellion, and learned from her concubine Wulian that Liu Huangtian, Zhang Jinyan and others also colluded with the Qingfeng Dao chief of Wudang Mountain, the head of Huashan faction Mei Yihai, and the head of Songshan faction Gao Qingtian. They used the masters of the rivers and lakes to eradicate the ministers of the government and the opposition. What's even more frightening is that the beautiful women Ziwei, Biluo, and Wulian created by Qingfeng Dao Chang once used charm to manipulate the head of Huashan faction, Mei Yihai, the head of Songshan faction, Gao Qingtian, prime minister Zhang Jinyan and others. Wudang Mountain Qingfeng Dao Chief wanted to borrow the hand of the former emperor to become the leader of the martial arts alliance, and once secretly refined the elixir of immortality for the first emperor, and paid tribute to the Taoist immortal Gu for the first emperor to practice the art of collecting yin and replenishing yang. We're afraid I'm ......," An Daoqi was a little speechless and stopped.

"Aiqing, it's been a hard time these days. There is nothing to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" Xiaoyaozi paced back and forth, thinking seriously.

"Weichen is afraid that there are still some favorite concubines of the emperor in the palace, who are the fairy aunts who have paid tribute to the Qingfeng Dao Chief, and there are other beautiful women who have died, I hope that the emperor will strengthen the defense of the Imperial Forest Army to prevent demons from doing it!" An Daoqi said solemnly.

"Aiqing has a heart, I'm fine. This matter still needs you and Bao Zhengming to continue to investigate thoroughly, and strive to dig out all the remnants. Xiao Suzi, you hurry up and write a letter to invite Liu Huangtian and others to Beijing to participate in the state funeral, we will wait for Liu Huangtian to enter the palace and act on the spot, "Xiaoyaozi smiled, brushed his sleeves away, and Xiao Suzi followed.

"Yes, Emperor! Congratulations to the Emperor!"

Xiaoyaozi and Xiao Suzi came to the dormitory, pointed to a wild cursive calligraphy painting opposite the couch and said, "Xiao Suzi, read this poem on the wall." Let's talk about your impressions. ”

"Okay, Your Majesty. Xiao Suzi cleared his throat and began to read:

Langyun smoke willow memory blue curtain, Xijing pear blossom proud white snow.

Poetry and painting in a thousand cities have never been in love, and the song of the wind and clouds is my heart.

On the East Lake Liangchen Beauty, Xiaoyue and the Wind Overlord are also returned.

Zhu Bi Ningshuang smiled at the vicissitudes of life, galloping through the borders of his fingers.

"Xiao Suzi, I often recite this poem "Jiangshan" when I travel all over the world. In the past, when I was alone and drunk, I also liked to make two playful sentences. What do you think of this poem?" Xiaoyaozi raised his teacup and drank it down, raised his hand to look at the wild grass on the wall, and smiled.

"Your Majesty, Xiao Suzi is only a shallow learner, and he doesn't dare to speculate on the holy will. But between the lines, Xiao Suzi can experience the emperor's ambition to dominate. Xiao Suzi looked at the wild grass calligraphy and painting on the wall, looked at Xiaoyaozi, and replied with his head down.

Xiaoyaozi was silent, quietly looking at this wild grass, and suddenly remembered Andaoqi's words in his mind, and after thinking about it, he still felt a little inconsiderate, so he ordered: "Xiao Suzi, you grind and draft two holy decrees." One was sent to Liu Huangtian, the general of Jincheng, to recruit him to Beijing as a concubine, and to marry the second princess of the imperial brother, Princess Jian'an, to him. One was sent to the Songshan faction's Gao Qingtian mansion, and his son Gao Peng flew into Beijing as a concubine, and married the third princess of the imperial brother, Princess Yongle, to him. ”

Once Liu Huangtian enters Beijing, he can set up an ambush to kill him, but Xiao Suzi can't figure out why he wants to recruit this Gao Pengfei as a concubine? I have never heard of this person in the palace. Xiao Suzi gave a thumbs up and complimented him, but he was puzzled.

"Take it, take a look at these "Three Kingdoms" and "Historical Records" in the future, so that you can give me advice in the future. Xiaoyaozi took a few sets of books from the desk and handed them to Xiao Suzi, and said with a smile, "You only know one thing, but you don't know the other." I recruited Liu Huangtian into Beijing as a delaying tactic, as long as he enters Beijing, we can kill him slowly. Marriage with the Gao family, I want to separate the relationship between the Songshan faction and the Huashan faction and the Wudang faction, compared with the imperial court, which is more important than the other, he will weigh it, and in the future, I will also use the power of the Songshan faction to unify the world's martial arts, in order to prevent the displaced people from making trouble, and stabilize the Han Kingdom for a long time. ”

Xiao Suzi took Xiaoyaozi's classics, and gave a thumbs up and smiled: "The emperor is really clever! ”

"Xiao Suzi, you have been in the palace for more than 20 years, have you ever heard the gossip about Lord Bao?" Xiaoyaozi took a sip of tea, stepped back from the palace maid who was waiting beside him, patted Xiao Suzi on the shoulder and asked in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, Lord Bao has always been cautious and strict in doing things, and he is also deeply trusted by the emperor, I haven't heard a word of negative news about Lord Bao. Xiao Suzi put her mouth in front of Xiaoyaozi and whispered.

"So, that's the scary part. Think about it, if a person who has no flaws but knows you well stays by your side, will you be like sitting on pins and needles and having trouble sleeping and eating?" Xiaoyaozi suddenly looked gloomy, and his thick eyebrows tightened.

"However, the emperor, Xiao Suzi heard that this Bao Daren's only nephew - Bao Wude, this Bao Wude is not learned, useless, soaked in the Yichun Courtyard in the capital all day long, he not only likes to drink flower wine, but also often fights and makes trouble when drunk, if it weren't for Lord Bao's face, he would have been arrested by the yamen of the capital. No way, his uncle is too powerful, even if he is lawless, no one in the capital dares to touch him. Xiao Suzi smiled lightly.

Xiao Suzi's words, as if waking up the person in his dream, Xiaoyaozi patted him on the shoulder: "Xiao Suzi, you have done a great job." Quickly, draw up another holy decree, canonize this Bao Wude as the Marquis of Leisure, reward the yellow coat, and give 100 gold. ”

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?" Xiao Suzi asked puzzled as he drafted.

"There are some things that can only be understood, not spoken. If you read more books, you will know later. When Bao Wude's wheat is ripe, I will tell you when I harvest the Bao family. Xiaoyaozi smiled.

Thank you for the emperor's order, Xiao Suzi must study hard and live up to the emperor's cultivation. Xiao Suzi said with a flattering smile.

"Xiao Suzi, I heard your voice for the first time around the corner today, and I knew that you were smart, and I was optimistic about you. You have to remember: everyone, every step they take, counts, and there is something to be gained. When you go through one level after another under all kinds of pressure, you will understand that those obstacles once existed only to make you stronger and stronger. Once you get used to the end of life, you'll get closer and closer to the outcome you want. A person's efforts will eventually be seen by the world. Among the classics I have given you, Sima Qian, the author of one of the "Historical Records", is a eunuch like you, but he created this world-famous book at a desperate time in his life. I believe in my own vision, so you have to believe in yourself too! The three holy decrees, write them down and send them quickly. Xiaoyaozi said and waved his hand, sitting there drinking tea alone, thinking.

The owner of the Meiwu piano told Chunxiao, Xia He, Qiu Xiang, and Dongxue to take care of the four sisters of the Banshan Piano House, and took the hand of the white-clothed scholar to go out to solve the disturbances on the rivers and lakes, Chunxiao held the bamboo raft to see the two of them leave, and the other three sisters also insisted on seeing them off, and the four of them watched the Meiwu piano master step ashore, smiled and waved goodbye; Chunxiao shouted at the white-clothed scholar: "Childe, my young lady will please you!

"Miss, the rivers and lakes are sinister, you must take care of yourself!" Xia He shouted, Qiu Xiang and Dong Xue looked at the distant Meiwu Qin Master who clasped his hands tightly, and burst into tears, this was the first time in their lives that they had left their young lady.

"Don't worry, I'll protect Lian'er!" the white-clothed scholar hugged the master of the Meiwu piano tightly, waved his hand and shouted at Chunxiao and the others.

"Hehe, Xiao Yu'er, I should protect you, right?!" Master Meiwuqin twitched, his eyes were astringent, he clenched his fist and gently slapped the white-clothed scholar's shoulder and smiled, she couldn't bear to look back and see the reluctance of the four sisters of Chunxiao.

"Hehe, it's all the same. As long as there are you all the way!" The white-clothed scholar disappeared into the vapor of Lanxi Lake with his arms around the master of the Meiwu piano.

"Little Yu'er, where are we going now?" Master Meiwu turned his head and winked at the white-clothed scholar.

"I can't go back now, and the master now listens to Zao Wou-ki's demagogy and thinks that I am the murderer of Senior Sister Lu Yin and the other junior brothers. We will now go to find the right-arm brother and the senior sister Hongying, in order to find the mysterious book of the poetry and fairy sword, they should be about to arrive at Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi, and we will not be far from Jiujiang and Nanchang. The white-clothed scholar speculated earnestly.

"Okay, Jiujiang is also a good place, a good place in the south of the Yangtze River, and the clouds and mist in Lushan are particularly fragrant. Xiaoyuer, let's go to Jiujiang to drink a cup of Lushan Yunwu tea, okay? Master Meiwu pulled the sleeve of the white-clothed scholar like a child and smiled.

"Okay, good, good! I know, you haven't set foot in the rivers and lakes for many years, this time you touch my light, you can come out and look at the flowers, thinking about the outside world of flowers must be itchy, I said it is completely understandable. Let's go to Jiujiang tonight to rest, and tomorrow we will take you to see the Tengwang Pavilion in Nanchang, which is one of the three famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River, so it is called a domineering!" the white-clothed scholar smiled.

"Oh, I'm looking forward to it. Aren't you talking about this now just to whet my appetite!"

"Haha, if you like to play so much, you are hungry. The white-clothed scholar smiled.

Walked into Lujiang City, the white-clothed scholar bought a carriage, galloped all the way, rushed to Jiujiang, arrived at Jiujiang City as scheduled after dusk, and after eating some authentic Jiujiang snacks, the white-clothed scholar led the Meiwu piano master into a teahouse called "Yunwuli", as soon as he entered the door, the teahouse was full of people, lively and extraordinary, the tea fragrance in the air was curling, and the sound of the piano continued. On the stage on the first floor, there is a long-haired woman in white playing the piano and singing, and a group of camellia girls wearing blue-blue long-sleeved tops and pants and braided hats are dancing with the singing. The woman who stroked the qin sang the tea song in "Poetic World":

"Xiao Yu'er, they sing okay, isn't this singing Lushan Yunwu tea? I understand, so it's called Yunwuli here." Isn't it?" said Master Meiwu.

"Yes, let's quickly find an empty table and sit down, and taste the Lushan Yunwu Tea you have always dreamed of. The white-clothed scholar pulled the Meiwu Qin Master and smiled, "There's an empty table over there, let's go around." ”

After taking a seat, the white-clothed scholar greeted Xiao Er of the shop and said: "Xiao Er, come to a pot of good Lushan Yunwu tea, a refreshment, a plate of peanuts, and a plate of dry cut beef." ”

"Okay, guest officer, please wait a moment!" Xiao Er wrote down the tea, dishes, and snacks and went to the back kitchen to place an order.

"Xiao Yu'er, you don't even look at the menu, so familiar, have you been here often in the past?"

"Hehe, Lian'er, the dim sum and dry goods in the teahouse are nothing more than those things, all of them are the same. I've been to one, and basically I don't need to see the others. The white-clothed scholar smiled.

"Hehe, that's right. Looks like I haven't been out in a long time. Master Meiwu smiled.

"Hehe, you will get used to the fireworks of the rivers and lakes in a few days. The white-clothed scholar smiled.

"Come on!" said it, the shopkeeper came over with a plate and a teapot, arranged the refreshments and dishes one by one, poured a full cup of tea for us and left. The white-clothed scholar and the Meiwu piano master were eating and drinking while talking and laughing, while enjoying the singing, dancing and singing on the stage, smiling and leisurely.

It is said that Suzaku and I rode on the ancient road of the Great Wall, touching the vicissitudes of history, and we were full of emotion.

"I don't see the ancients before, and I don't see the ones who come after. Thinking of the world and the world, I was alone and wept. I suddenly couldn't help but sigh.

"Master, did you put me in a poem?" said Yoyo laughing, wagging his tail.

"This is Chen Ziang's "Song of Dengyouzhou" in the Tang Dynasty, not written by me. Seeing the Great Wall and the Wolf Smoke Ancient Road, so vigorous and unrestrained, I was moved. I laughed.

"Oh. Master, I remember that the song "Short Song Xing • West Wind Spirit" you wrote is much more vigorous and unrestrained than these poems, and I don't know what this famous person named Chen Ziang is famous for. Hehe, will this Chen Ziang also spend money to buy famous. Yoyo touched the gills with his whiskers and fell into thought.

"Yoyo, don't talk nonsense! This Chen Ziang has real talent and real learning. I patted the head of the fish and said solemnly.

"Yes, Xianggong, I also think that your collection of tanka poems is more domineering than these poems. Youyo is right, how are you practicing the song "Tanka Xing • West Wind Spirit" now, that song is of moderate length, you can try it with a sword. Suzaku suddenly proposed.

"Master, Sister Suzaku is right, you practice and see. Yoyo also encouraged me to exert his strength.

"Okay! "Fly up," he said, and he took us into the air. I was engrossed, concentrated, exerting all my strength, clasping my hands together, and chanting:

Outside the Yumen Pass, Helan Mountain,

The west wind is sad, and the yellow sand is bloodthirsty.

The wind and sand are high, and the bonfire is growing,

Ten thousand flags are the same, and the grassland is dominant.

The Huns are strong, the Khan is a horse,

Populus euphratica is on the edge, and the yurt is off-road.

The desert moved south, Jin Ge was extinguished,

Flying arrows are all over the sky, and the bones are feasting.

The wolf travels in Henan, explores the Han cave,

The beacon is in flames, and the sunset is like a sunset.

Rolling yellow sand, battle flag hunting,

Ban horses neighed, and heroes wept blood.

The southern conquest and the northern war, a horse and a flat river,

Under the banner of the wind horse, the triumphant song should be in the sky.

The spring breeze blows the willows, Wu Nong whispers softly,

In a corner of peace, it fell with a snap of a finger.

The walls were broken, burned and plundered,

The four fields are poisonous, and the bones are smoking.

Complaining, the virus is raging,

The rotting fireflies are tired, and the roe deer vultures multiply.

The west wind is cold, and the wives are scattered,

Su Wu shepherds, and the withered grass stretches the edge.

The world in the pupil, the city is torn,

The remnant sun is like blood, and the cold wind is like iron.

Feng Wolf Juxu, Hero Jiuquan,

Jingkang is difficult to peace, and the river is full of red throat.

Bingbing History, Scrolling Yellow Pages,

The war book is cloudy, and the country is destroyed.

Expand the territory, happiness is the thought,

Fast horses are like lightning, and tribute is like a bird.

Tianshan Snow Lotus, Inner Mongolia Chicken Blood,

Hetian Yujue, Jiangnan graceful.

Wine is like blood, beautiful women warm the temple,

The west wind is one night, and the spring breeze is several years.

Billowing wolf smoke, the Great Wall bleak,

Rise and fall from generation to generation, life and death.

The grass is glorious and withered, and the iron-blooded steel whip,

The goshawk circles, and Ao Bao sacrifices to the sky.

The soul of the dead sleeps,

The world is unified, and spring is emerging.

The west wind is strong, the mare's milk wine is fresh,

The sun and the moon are like shuttles, and the horse's hooves are like swords.

Genghis Khan, drifting with the wind,

The sun sets over the long river, and the cattle and sheep do not speak.

The bow is full of moon, and the galaxy is split,

The wind and drizzle, the eternal joy.

Hunting the west wind, crisscrossing and closing,

Huaxia Qiankun, a classic of the Warring States period.

In an instant, the Great Wall in front of the dark clouds covered the sun, lightning and thunder, the wind was raging, a huge storm descended from the air, suddenly the Great Wall was full of wolf smoke, the beacon fire was transmitted, the war drums were thundering, the wind and sand outside the Great Wall were rising, the sand and gravel were rolling, the zebra was neighing, and thousands of Mongolian iron horsemen were holding the immortal flag, the wind horse flag, waving the scimitar and the halberd, running, shouting, roaring, and preparing for a charge, the jade was burned.

"Out of the sword!" I ordered, those Mongolian iron horsemen, wielding scimitars, rushed across the Great Wall at a gallop, and a section of the Great Wall in front of me "boomed" and collapsed instantly, and it was wiped out in a flick of a finger, becoming a ruin, and only a few Great Wall walls remained after the smoke gradually settled.

"Collect the sword!" I took a deep breath, looked at Suzaku, patted Youyou, and smiled, "How is it?"

"Awesome!" Suzaku and Yoyo said in unison.

"I think of the words of Taishan Fujun, I am afraid that its attack power is too strong, and there will be countless casualties in a battle. I looked at all of this with apprehension.

"Xianggong, you're too worried. In the future, there will be such a strong enemy as Lianchengjie to deal with. Yesterday, I heard that there was a killer in the Imperial Palace of the Han Kingdom, and he disappeared without a trace after killing a group of ministers in a blink of an eye, it should be a goblin who is haunting, let's go to the vicinity of the imperial city to check. Suzaku laughed.

"Okay, let's go!"
