Chapter 412: Another Trick
Tang Yin really wanted to hit someone.
But no matter how fierce he fought with Zhu Hao in his mouth, he was still happy for this cheap disciple in his heart, and that night in the inn, Tang Yin was the east, and a simple celebration banquet was held for Zhu Hao.
In addition to Zhu Hao and Lu Song, even Lou Suzhen also attended.
"This time, it is to celebrate Zhu Hao's promotion, he won the first place in this Huguang Township examination."
Tang Yin was happy and began to blow in front of Lou Suzhen.
Lou Suzhen didn't expect that the young man in front of him was Xie Yuangong at a young age, and a pair of wonderful eyes fell on Zhu Hao: "The son is dignified, the young man is heroic, he was admitted early, and he is Xie Yuan like the Lingshi, and his future attainments may not be under the Lingshi." ”
Zhu Hao smiled: "Where, where." ”
It sounds like self-humility, but in fact, Zhu Hao wants to complain, how successful I have been, and how much does it have to do with Tang Yin? Calling him a gentleman is just to cover people's eyes and ears, do you ask him if he dares to accept the name of this master?
Besides, is Tang Yin's attainments very profound?
Let me spend half my life like him?
Save it!
"Come, come, drink, drink."
Tang Yin has been cautious all the way, cautious in his words and deeds, and he has long been suffocated for so many days.
It's rare to find an excuse to drink today, so naturally I want to get drunk.
A drunkard is a drunkard, and all he wants is to be happy.
Lu Song waved his hand: "I'm traveling, my errands are tight, please forgive me for not drinking alcohol, and replace the bar with tea...... After all, there is a vigil tonight. ”
Obviously, Lu Song is more measured than Tang Yin, he is originally a person from Xingwangfu, and he knows that performing tasks is more important than anything else, how can he get carried away when Tang Yin is so happy?
Lou Suzhen asked: "Now that I am traveling, I don't know what kind of errand Master Lu is doing on this trip to Beijing?" ”
Tang Yin looked at the door, and after making sure that the doors and windows were closed, he said in a low voice: "Didn't I tell you, but I went to Jingshi to secretly help the prince of Xingwang?" ”
Lou Suzhen asked for verification: "Has the prince been detained by the imperial court?" But is it dangerous? ”
Tang Yin was stunned.
He saw it, and now Lou Suzhen was anxious to know what kind of situation Zhu Si was in after he arrived in Beijing, whether he inherited the throne and entered the Beijing division as usual to pay tribute and complete the established succession procedures, or was he taken hostage, or did the court feel that there was a precedent for King Ning's rebellion, so they wanted to control Zhu Si first?
For Lou Suzhen, the difference will affect the interests of the Lou family.
"This ...... It's hard to say, everything will be clear when you get to Jingshi. ”
Tang Yin glanced at Zhu Hao as he spoke.
He was not very clear about what he meant by the imperial court.
Now the discussion in Xingwangfu is that Zhu Si can return to Anlu before the end of the year, but Zhu Hao has mentioned before that Zhu Si is likely to be detained in Beijing for a long time, and he has sworn that Zhu Si may succeed to the throne in the past two years, but it is also possible that the civil officials want to get the first heir to the throne in Beijing, usually as a proton, once a major event occurs, he can be put on the throne at any time, because people are easier to control in Beijing.
"Come, come, drink."
Tang Yin saw that the atmosphere on the wine table was a little weird, and hurriedly beckoned to drink, the old drunkard was still more experienced in mobilizing the atmosphere of the wine table.
After three rounds of drinking......
In fact, only Tang Yin was drinking alone, and even Lou Suzhen didn't mean to pour wine into the cup.
Tang Yin's head was dizzy, and he asked with a smile: "Zhu Hao, what do you say we should do first after we arrive in Beijing?" ”
Zhu Hao said: "After arriving in Beijing, I will first get a big opera troupe and sing for ......a few days."
Tang Yin, Lu Song, and Lou Suzhen all looked at Zhu Hao with strange eyes.
I wondered in my heart, are you a little too much?
Do you feel that the current celebration banquet is not enjoyable enough, and you feel that your wings are stiff, and you have to have a good "leisure" after arriving in Beijing?
"This ...... Ahem, come back, come back. ”
Tang Yin was embarrassed.
Thinking that there were Lou Suzhen and Lu Song next to him, it was inconvenient for the old and young to speak, maybe Zhu Hao said this purely to use the blind eye?
Otherwise, how can you explain that you are going to sing in a drama class? Could it be that Zhu Hao really has this intention?
"Drink and drink."
Tang Yin was in high spirits, and continued to pour himself a drink, and he was alone at the wine table.
……
……
Zhu Si and his entourage arrived in Beijing a few days earlier than Zhu Hao and others.
After arriving in the capital, Qiu Ju took Zhu Si and his entourage to a five-entry mansion near the Forbidden City, in addition to arranging Zhu Si to live in, together with Luo An and other royal palace guards, they were placed in the courtyard or surrounding houses, which did not prevent these people from protecting Zhu Si's safety on a daily basis.
"Is Lone Future going to live here? Can I come and go as I please? ”
Zhu Si remembered what his mother told him before leaving, that in order to become like a real king of Xing, he must maintain his majesty in front of the eunuchs.
Qiu Ju spoke politely to Zhu Si: "Your Royal Highness, you have not yet inherited the throne, living here can ensure your safety, if you have to leave the mansion...... If anything goes wrong, the next person can't afford it. Therefore, the Jinyi Guard will send people to protect the surroundings, and the Beijing camp will also mobilize people...... If you have to go in and out, the consequences will be ...... You are solely responsible for it. ”
It's almost a threat.
You are here, you can save a small life, but if you leave this courtyard, it is not our responsibility to die or not, and you deserve to die.
Although Zhu Si was young, he could hear the unkindness in Qiu Ju's words, and secretly gritted his teeth with hatred, but his expression was not shocked, and there was no change in mood.
Waiting for Qiu Ju and the others to leave, the courtyard door was closed.
Luo An first arranged manpower, did a good job of defense, and arranged the rest and living things properly, and then he came forward: "The prince ...... the world"
was about to speak, but found that Zhu Si was wiping his tears.
"I ...... I'm fine...... Luo Dian, if you have something to say, just say it. ”
Zhu Si's expression was calm.
Luo Anxin couldn't bear it, along the way, he saw Zhu Si's strong side, and thought that the son of the world had grown up and made a decision, but now he realized that Zhu Si was strong in front of people many times, in fact, Zhu Si was just a twelve-year-old child, and what he was experiencing now was the most cruel side of the power struggle, and if he didn't get his life, he would die.
Luo An said: "Right now, Your Majesty is out on the expedition, and there is no sign of the class teacher for the time being, I heard that the ministers of the court are now persuading Your Majesty to return to the court, if you don't return for a long time...... Your succession will be postponed, so you ......."
Zhu Si looked depressed: "I understand that if the emperor doesn't come back, I will be locked up here, in the dark." ”
Luo An hurriedly relieved: "Relax the prince, this is not a cage, if you really want to go out, the lowly people will swear to protect your safety." ”
"Forget it, Luo Dianzhan, didn't you hear the words of the dead eunuch? He was telling me that only here would they not do anything to me, if I left...... I have to bear all the consequences, I don't have a brother, if I die, then Xingfu will cease to exist, right? ”
Zhu Si's words were very pathetic.
There is a kind of stubbornness that is alone, although he is not afraid of death, he must not die.
Luo An saw that Zhu Si was so sensible, it was hard to say anything, if he forcibly persuaded him, it would add fuel to the fire, and he was very proficient in human affairs.
Zhu Si suddenly thought of something and said, "Luo Dianzhan, I remember that at the bottom of the box I carried closely, there are three bags, you go and help me find them." It was written by Zhu Hao in advance. ”
"Huh!?"
Luo An was a little surprised, and asked puzzledly, "What did Young Master Zhu write?" Didn't he go to Wuchang Mansion to participate in the township test? ”
The news of Zhu Hao's promotion in the examination did not reach Zhu Si's side, and it was also because it was none of his business, no one would specifically tell the news of whether Zhu Hao was promoted in the examination, and Luo An couldn't care about it for a while.
"He wrote it to me before he left for Wuchang, and said that he had to wait until I arrived in Beijing to open it, and I wondered why he said that...... I didn't expect to be hit by him. ”
Zhu Si mentioned Zhu Hao, and he was very respectful in his words.
Luo An frowned: "Young Master Zhu already knew that you were going to Jingshi?" He ......"
"Can he pinch it? When my uncle came to Beijing, he also wrote a bag, so let's see what he wrote. Zhu Si was very anxious.
Along the way, he had long wanted to open it and see what was inside.
But he had read and heard many books, and knew that the bag could only be opened in times of danger, and that if it was opened in advance, it would not work, so he endured it until now.
……
……
The bag was brought to Zhu Si.
Zhu Si lined up the red, blue, and green bags in turn, and opened the red bag first, but saw that there was only a piece of paper inside, and a word was written.
Play!
"Play? Why? ”
After Luo An saw the words on it, the whole person was confused.
What kind of trick is it, it's clearly playing a dumb riddle!
Zhu Siyi patted his head and said suddenly: "I understand, what Zhu Hao means is to let us play in Beijing with great fanfare, only in this way can we paralyze the enemy and make them think that I don't want to make progress...... Legend has it that after the queen of Shu Han was captured, he was also able to die because he was good at leisure...... Probably that's what Zhu Hao meant. ”
Luo An frowned when he heard this.
Although he didn't quite understand the intention of Zhu Hao's word, he expected that it would definitely not be like what Zhu Si said, to paralyze the enemy by playing.
What is there for the enemy to be paralyzed?
Whether you are paralyzed or not, the enemy will not let down their vigilance, but will make you disliked by those civil officials because you do not do your job...... Wait, could it be that Zhu Hao meant to make him show incompetence and make the civil officials feel that this is not a virtuous person who governs the country? In the future, the throne will not be passed on?
That Zhu Hao...... It's really ill-intentioned.
"Shizi, there is no such comparison, the queen of Shu Han is not a virtuous person."
Luo An couldn't help but remind.
Zhu Sidao: "No matter, Zhu Hao let me play, then I'll play...... Go and inquire, what is interesting in Jingshi, I want to let the opponent know, I came to Jingshi to play, the more unexpected it is, the easier it is for me to get out, isn't it? ”
Even if Luo An felt that this was all heresy, he couldn't refute it.
If you are taken hostage, you might as well do the opposite, maybe it will work wonders?
Luo An reminded: "I believe that in a few days, Mr. Tang will arrive in Beijing, and it is better to discuss the plan with him then." ”
Zhu Si shook his head: "I only believe in Zhu Hao, Mr. Tang...... He can only teach, and he doesn't know how to schem, so you can do as I say, first inquire about what is popular in Jingshi, and then make plans. ”
