Chapter 17: Deciphering Proverbs
Li Siye looked at him fixedly, no longer thinking about this problem, he suddenly remembered that his sister Li Mei'er was alone at home, and she couldn't take care of herself independently.
He didn't know how long he would be locked up, would Mei'er be scared if he was alone in such a big yard? Will you starve? Will she go out alone to buy food? What he fears most about what will happen is that Mei'er will be targeted by people with bad intentions.
His heart was suddenly a little annoyed, and he circled around the cell, shaking the cell door vigorously.
"Let me out! Let me out, my sister is home alone! ”
A jailer came over menacingly and scolded in annoyance: "What are you arguing about! Stay in it obediently! ”
Li Siye said through the cell door: "Brother jailer, do me a favor, my sister-in-law is home alone, she is still young and needs someone to take care of her." ”
The jailer may have seen that Li Siye was tall and strong, which caused pressure on him, and his momentum suddenly became half a cut shorter, and he said angrily: "What does your sister have to do with me, stay inside, if you dare to make trouble, I will report to the steward to beat your board." ”
The jailer drifted away. Li Siye lay on the wooden pillar worriedly, who would have thought that he would encounter such a thing within a few days of coming, and he would be in prison. Leaving an eight-year-old girl at home. If she starves to death, how can she be worthy of the original owner of this body?
"What to do? Think of a way, yes, a way. ”
Zhang Xiaojing sat cross-legged on the straw and said quietly: "There is still a way, as long as we are released, you can go home." ”
", I know that, too." Li Siye looked anxiously at the outside of the cell, the corridor was very dark, and there were only two windows in this huge prison, one at the entrance and the other at the end of the cell corridor.
Although his vision was very dark, Li Siye could vaguely see that there were also four or five people locked up in the cell opposite, these people were either chained or wearing wooden shackles, compared to them, he and Zhang Xiaojing were treated much better.
Zhang Xiaojing smiled lightly, and then said: "Even if you come in, you have to know why you came in, so that you can consider ways to get out, at least you should know how we will be treated next." ”
There was still some flavor in what he said, Li Siye turned around, leaned against the wooden pillar with his hands on his chest and asked, "Do you know why we came in?" ”
"I don't know." Zhang Xiaojing lowered his head and pondered: "But those two proverbs seem to have a secret hidden in them, otherwise how could that Luo Senjun have such a big reaction and even arrest us here." Everything they do is unseemly, and they have conspiracy with ill intentions, what kind of conspiracy do they want to engage? ”
Li Siye nodded, Zhang Xiaojing's analysis was very organized, he pinched his chin and pondered: "Liu Gengsan seems to have mentioned a person, it is Yang Concubine, which Yang Concubine?" ”
"It should be Princess Xianyi's concubine, Yang Huan, the concubine." Zhang Xiaojing dusted off the dust in his eye sockets, shook his head and said: "Not long after I arrived in Chang'an and became a bad handsome, the relationship between the dignitaries and dignitaries in Chang'an City has not been clear, so I only know a little. ”
Li Siye secretly thought, you don't know, but I know, don't look at me that I haven't been to Chang'an, I know the rise and fall of the entire Tang Dynasty and the prosperity and fall of Chang'an City. Princess Xianyi is the daughter of Tang Xuanzong and Concubine Wu Hui, and this Yang Wei is Concubine Wu Hui's son-in-law.
Let me think about it, what great thing has Yang Huo done, it seems that he didn't. The biggest thing he did was to tell the prince many times in front of Tang Xuanzong and frame the prince, so that the emperor killed three sons in one day, this is what a father does, it is terrifying to think about.
He suddenly remembered those two verses, what they were, 'Return to Taiji to give birth to all things, and the sunrise lotus pond turns the world'. At first glance, there is nothing wrong with this sentence, but if you associate it in a certain direction, you can make up the meaning if it is not interesting.
If the conspiracy that Yang Wei participated in was aimed at the crown prince, the meaning of these two sentences would be straightforward and easy to understand.
Returning to Taiji Shengwanhua, the coordinates pointed to the Taiji Palace. The sunrise lotus pond turns the world, this sentence can be understood in this way, the place where there is sunrise must be facing east, and the east of Taiji Palace is not the East Palace. Yang Yuma connected the demagogic demon with the East Palace, and his intentions were also revealed.
He can't be too sure, otherwise Zhang Xiaojing will be suspicious, how can a person who works the streets of Chang'an know about the defilement of the Royal Forbidden Garden.
Li Siye paced on the floor of the cell in vain, pretending to rack his brains to think, and turned back and forth in front of Zhang Xiaojing a few times, but he couldn't turn his head to look at Zhang Xiaojing's single eye, the other party's eyes were like the horns of a pig, which seemed to be able to penetrate the secrets in his heart.
"Well, you said that this 'returning to Taiji Shengwanhua' is not the meaning of Taiji Palace?"
"It's that simple?" Zhang Xiaojing raised his head and looked at him suspiciously, and Li Siye avoided looking at the straw on the ground.
"Of course, well, a lot of things people like to think about complicated, maybe it's that simple."
"What does the second sentence mean when the sun rises and the lotus pond turns around?"
"Let me think about it," Li Siye muttered: "Sunrise Lotus Pond, Sunrise Lotus Pond, there is, Sunrise Lotus Pond refers to the direction, which direction does the sun rise from?" ”
"East."
Li Siye clapped his hands and suddenly came to his senses and said: "I know, these two sentences are talking about the lotus pond in the east of Taiji Palace, where is this lotus pond?" ”
Zhang Xiaojing closed his eyes and shook his head: "We have never been to the Imperial Palace, who knows what pool is on the east side of the Taiji Palace?" ”
Li Siye was a little anxious for a while, but he really couldn't reveal it anymore, so he could only rub the edge on the edge of temptation.
"This pool, Yang Yuma knows, that Luo Senjun knows, the Youyi Mansion officials know, and even Zhang Hong, the county lieutenant of Wannian County, also knows, didn't you see when Luo Senjun shouted to take us down? There was not the slightest expression of surprise on the faces of the three envoys. ”
Coldly, Zhang Xiaojing stood up from the ground, looked at him with his right eye and said, "Heiye, you don't look like a hard-working man who juggles on the streets. ”
Li Siye's hairs suddenly stood up, and he only said a few words, so that Zhang Xiaojing could see the clues, how can he follow him in the future?
Fortunately, Zhang Xiaojing didn't ask this question, and continued to say: "You are right, the county magistrate and the county lieutenant know this place. The step-by-step promotion of these two people's official careers is also inseparable from Yang Wei, the captain of the horse. If it is really as you guessed, the verse is talking about the lotus pond, which is also located directly east of the Taiji Palace, and the prince's east palace has a lotus pond. There are many mansions of dignitaries and nobles in the four squares of Guangzhai, Yishan, Laiting, Yongchang, etc., and they are afraid that there are also lotus ponds in their backyards. Yang and their conspiracy may have been carried out against one of these people. ”
Li Siye silently added in his heart that it was either someone else or the prince. It seems that Zhang Xiaojing in front of him didn't think about this at all, he carefully expanded the amount of information, and asked Zhang Xiaojing: "Do you know which mothers are in the palace?" ”
"Who are the ladies in the palace, how do I know, I'm just a small catcher at the bottom of Chang'an, and I don't even know what sons the saint has......"
Zhang Xiaojing was shocked, raised his head and stared at Li Siye and said, "You imagine it very boldly, you can actually guess the palace, so my head is too poor." It is very likely that Yang Xun, the commander of the horses, is a key figure, he has the ability to enter the palace, contact the people in the palace, and also have the ability to collude with the officials outside, so the person they want to frame is very likely to be the prince. ”
Zhang Xiaojing shook his head: "I really didn't expect that I, a small handsome man in Chang'an City, would be able to touch the battle between the palace and the palace, this thing is too fucking." ”
Li Siye squatted in front of him and asked, "Respectfully, I have already found out the reason for you, you should think of a way, how can we get out." ”
Zhang Xiaojing leaned his back against the wall, spread his hands and said, "Go out?" Why go out? It's safest to stay here. No matter what happens outside, it has nothing to do with us, if the prince is removed, the secret we know will be useless, they will naturally let us go, if they can't bring down the prince, this secret will be useless, and they will still let us go when the time comes. ”
