Chapter Fifty-Seven: Speaking of the Emperor, Who is the Emperor?
The palace maid who returned to the square with Qinghe saw that Jiang Zhong was safe and sound, and finally put her mind at ease, and she didn't have time to say goodbye to Qinghe, so she left in a hurry, passing through the verandah between the two halls of Penglai and Hanliang, and walking all the way towards Hanyu Palace.
Because Concubine Han is just a weak woman who wears a crime, she usually only knows how to raise flowers and grass, and after being beaten into the cold palace, Empress Jiang didn't pay much attention to it, and only symbolically arranged two guards in front of the palace, but these two guards seemed to be asleep now, and they turned a blind eye to the palace maid's entry into the Hanyu Palace.
After the palace maid entered the house, she walked to the dresser, dressed up in the mirror, and suddenly became another person - Concubine Han.
Concubine Han got up from the mirror, walked to the bed, stretched out her hand and waved her hand at the smoker, as if a handful of pollen flew out and disappeared into the smoker, and after a while, she heard a "um" sound from the bed, and a palace maid sat up with her forehead, and her appearance was exactly the same as the palace maid that Concubine Han had played before.
"You're awake. Concubine Han asked with a smile, the palace maid was startled, hurriedly threw herself off the bed, knelt on the ground and begged Concubine Han for forgiveness, Concubine Han smiled and helped the palace maid up, comforting: "You don't have to be polite to me." ”
The palace maid was honestly afraid, but she couldn't remember why she slept on Concubine Han's couch anyway.
......
After the jade cake night banquet was dispersed, the talented scholars from all over the world quickly surrounded Jiang Zhong and pulled him to discuss the "Water Tune Song Head" that invited the moon, Jiang Zhong and the talented scholars from all over the world talked and laughed all the way back to the mission mansion, after returning to the mansion, Prince Xuanlin, Qin Baiyao, Fan Baotong and others blocked everyone, Jiang Zhong took the opportunity to hide back in the house, and was about to ask Qinghe if he had any gains, Qinghe told him the amazing news: "Chen Guo and Jiang Guo colluded to plot to kill Liang, now just wait for Jiang Guo's reply, once the deal is reached, Chen Guoguo will immediately raise troops." ”
Jiang Zhong was stunned for a long time when he heard this, and asked, "Is the news reliable?"
Qinghe nodded firmly and said, "There has never been a mistake or omission." ”
Jiang Zhong suddenly understood that Uncle Han asked Qingqin Qinghe to follow him to Chang'an, not to rescue his mother, but to use the appearance advantage of the twin sisters to collect information, so that the last time Uncle Han broke into King Jiang's palace night and night, it must have been for the same purpose.
This means that the news that Qinghe said is a little more credible.
Jiang Zhong no longer asked about the source, fell into deep thought, and after a while, said, "I'm afraid that if I do such a thing tonight, it will strengthen their alliance's determination to destroy Liang." Thinking of the moonlight that fell on Chen Guo, he laughed at himself: "Now they don't even have to find an excuse." ”
Qinghe didn't understand what he was talking about, and said anxiously: "Now we have to go back to Liang Kingdom immediately and inform the owner of the village and Emperor Liang of this news." ”
Jiang Zhong nodded and said: "Jiang Liang and the two countries have an alliance, and the Fan Mansion is friendly with the Jiang royal family, presumably this time to attack Liang, Jiang Guo will not send troops, but watch from the sidelines, just wait for the war to end, and then share the benefits with Chen Guo." ”
"Hmm. ”
"Despite this, in order to distract Liang Guo, Jiang Guo is likely to detain Prince Xuanlin, and if my expectations are correct, tomorrow Jiang Guo's Yutang Prince or some other prince will send someone to pick up Prince Xuanlin into the East Palace as a guest. ”
"What then?"
Jiang Zhong thought for a while and said, "Wait for them to enter the house, and then think about it in the long run, Qinghe, you go and find Yang Shaoxia." ”
After a while, Prince Xuanlin and the others shook their heads helplessly and entered the house, and Fan Baotong teased: "Teacher, your gravitational pull is too great, and they can't drive it away." ”
Jiang Zhong ignored it, motioned to Qingqin Qinghe to close the door, and guarded the door, Prince Xuanlin smiled when he saw this and asked, "Why Taifu, are you still afraid that they will rush into the house?"
Jiang Zhong said seriously: "I have something important to tell you. So Jiang Zhong told Prince Xuanlin and others the news relayed by Qinghe, and when everyone heard it, their faces changed drastically.
Prince Xuanlin couldn't digest the news for a while, his face was full of disbelief, he raised his hand, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Qin Baiyao said angrily: "How dare they?"
Jiang Zhong said: "Chen Guo has always been martial, keen on aggression, and his ambition to dominate the world has never stopped, as for this invasion of Liang, the specific reason is now no time to go into detail, but it is still for money and land, Jiang Guo has participated in this matter, and the top priority is to send the news back to Liang and send the prince back to Luzhou." ”
Qin Baiyao said: "At this moment, Chang'an City is under martial law, how to send His Royal Highness the Crown Prince out of the city?"
Jiang Zhong looked at Fan Baotong and said, "Baotong, which shopkeeper of the Fan Mansion is in charge of the business of Chang'an City?"
Fan Baotong was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said, "It's Lin Hanfei's shopkeeper." ”
Jiang Zhong nodded, and then said his plan.
About half a pillar of incense time, five or six figures walked out of the Liang State Mission Mansion, and heard someone say in high spirits: "I often hear people say that the joy of the world is nothing more than the waist wrapped in thousands of horses into Chang'an, and the Chang'an happy field, half of it is in Mingyufang, tonight's beautiful scenery, you don't visit Mingyufang with me, it is really a disappointment." ”
Everyone laughed and got into the carriage, and sure enough, they galloped in the direction of Mingyufang.
Just as the carriage of Liang Guo drove out of the street where the embassy was located, Zhuge Xingchen, the national teacher of Jiang Guo, who was dressed in a starlight robe and holding an astrological staff, appeared alone in front of the bamboo forest outside Chang'an City. ”
Tonight, Zhuge Guoshi is still wearing a cloak, but for the sake of grandeur, the full head of hair has obviously been carefully combed, neatly scattered on his chest and back, and there is no mess.
Zhuge Guoshi walked into the forest, crossed over one step, grabbed his eyes and came to the door of the stone courtyard, and said, "Xingchen Pavilion Zhuge Xingchen greets everyone Fang." ”
The old man in the courtyard said, "Zhuge Pavilion Master, please come in." ”
The voice fell, the courtyard door opened, Zhuge Xingchen stepped into the door, held the cane in his left hand, stood up with his right hand, and bowed to Fang Xu, Fang Xu got up and returned the salute, and said, "Pavilion master, please sit." He turned his head and instructed Li Ruoyu: "If you are foolish, pour tea for the pavilion master." ”
Li Ruoyu responded "yes" and stepped forward to pour a cup of tea for Zhuge Xingchen.
Zhuge Xingchen said with a smile: "During this Mid-Autumn Festival, it will not be in vain to be able to ask everyone for a cup of tea." ”
Fang Xu shook his head and smiled: "When the Zhuge Pavilion Lord comes to the Humble House, he will have something to teach, is it just for tea?"
Zhuge Xingchen said: "How dare you." Suddenly, he got up and made a big salute to Fang Xu, and said, "Zhuge came here this time to plead with everyone for the human race. ”
Fang Xu hurriedly stepped forward to support Zhuge Xingchen and said, "The pavilion master knows the heavens and the earth, why do you need the help of the old man?"
Zhuge Xingchen said: "I don't know if everyone already knows that the Lord of the Emperor Star is in Chang'an City at the moment. ”
"Oh, is it Chen Guo's or Liang Guo's?"
Zhuge Xingchen shook his head and said: "On the seventh day of the first month of last month, the emperor star appeared and disappeared, and the whole world was shaken, and everyone in the world thought that the emperor star should be on the prince of Chen or Liang, but don't you know that the lord chosen by the emperor star is not either of these two." ”
"Who's that?"
"Jiang Zhong, the seventh prince of Jiang Guo, is now the Taifu Chen Renzhong of Liang Guo!"
Fang Xu was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then nodded slowly: "Sure enough, it's him." ”
"Fang, everyone already knows?"
"I only know that he is the prince of my country, but I don't know that he took the imperial star. Fang Xu looked at Zhuge Xingchen and asked, "How does the National Teacher decide? As far as I know, Xingchen Pavilion once asserted that the Seventh Prince Zhong was a 'phaseless personality', a disaster star that fell from the sky. ”
Zhuge Xingchen said: "The lesson of everyone Fang is that when the seventh prince was born, I really did not observe his life star, even before tonight, there was still nothing, until Fang Cai Chen Tong descended Hongru to kill the poem, I suddenly realized." After Prince Zhong made an invitation to the moon and broke Chen Tong's killing poem, I can already conclude that he is the lord of the Emperor Star, and his life star is the Emperor Star that has been 'hidden' for 800 years!"
Fang Xu asked, "Is the Emperor a trace again?"
Zhuge Xingchen shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The Emperor Star has always been there, and everyone is appreciable, but all things in heaven and earth, aren't the more visible things are, the easier it is for people to ignore?"
After hearing this, Fang Xu looked up at the moon and said, "Is the national teacher saying that Prince Zhong's destiny star is this bright moon?"
Zhuge Xingchen also looked up at the bright moon, and said meaningfully: "Do you think that which star in the sky is the brightest?"
"If it was before, the old man would naturally answer Chang Gengxing. ”
"And now?"
"No matter how bright Chang Gung Star is, how can it compare to this bright moon that shines on the world and shines on the earth?"
Zhuge Xingchen sighed: "Since it is an imperial star, there is naturally no pair in the sky, and there is no match in the world, except for this bright moon, which star dares to be?"
