Chapter Eighty-Eight: Rotten Wood Is Hard to Carve
"Father."
The prince's clear voice interrupted Nandi's memories, Nandi looked at him, disgusted for no reason, this Adou who couldn't support the wall, Xiao Zhiyi pounced on him for half his life, but he ...... Except for diligence, I can't find any merit! Xiao Zhiyi is not at ease at all!
Nandi almost couldn't help but scold him, the prince kowtowed first and said: "Father, the queen mother is gone, but Nanguo is her life's concern, and now the queen mother is also watching ......"
Nandi stood up and scolded fiercely: "You still have the face to say!" If you weren't so unable to hold up the wall, she would have worked so hard?! ”
The prince knelt down and cried: "Father, the son knows that he is stupid, so he always studies seriously, but it is inevitable that he can't do it, so the queen mother is bothered to ......."
Nandi looked at him, and suddenly deflated, talent is a matter of force, no matter how diligent he is, even if he reads at night, he can't catch up with Xiao Zhiyi.
Nandi walked out slowly, his eyes gradually turned a little red, his whole body softened, and he dragged his steps outside the palace of Wang Yongning.
Gyeyang-gun, post house.
Xie Songzhao sat under the window making tea, the faint fragrance of tea enveloped him, Gu Mingchao sat aside, and said softly: "Guess, what will he make his first move?" ”
Xie Songzhao said: "Assassination." ”
Gu Ming said: "It's the same old. ”
Xie Songzhao said: "After all, I am still the cousin of the prince, outsiders don't know the depth of this water, so they will naturally be two more jealous, and the assassination will be solved directly, and the people who don't speak, they will solve it with a single fold." ”
Gu Mingchao said: "It's really a good way, half a month will pass when the fold goes up, and then wait for Yandu to send someone, another half a month has passed, even if there are any clues in this matter, it should disappear." ”
Xie Songzhao's face sank and said, "Why did he kill me?" What's so unsavory about him here? Every official who comes here either dies halfway or dies violently for no reason......"
Gu Mingchao's sword flashed, Xie Song closed his voice, Gu Mingchao rolled out of the window, the long sword was raised, and the bloody aura instantly covered the fragrance of tea, Xie Song looked at the tea in his hand, and instantly lost the desire to drink it, put down the tea cup and quietly looked at the messy cold light outside.
Gu Mingchao a harrier turned over and kicked away the killer, blood stained the stone road, Xie Song said: "Ming Dynasty, you still have to learn this technique, look at the blood all over the ground." ”
Gu Mingchao said angrily: "Ask for a lot!" Let's talk about it......"
Another bloody head rolled in front of the window, Xie Song sighed, and half-got up to close the window.
Gyeyang-gun Taishou Mansion.
Cao Wuqing, who was too shougong, held a cup of tea for Su Nanchen, and said flatteringly: "The adults have made a shot, and everything has been missed, and this time it will definitely be the same." ”
Taishou said without incident: "My lord, in fact, this matter is not proper, this Xie Songzhao is a relative of the emperor after all......
Wu Qing said: "Our lord is the lord of the country, so Xie Songzhao is far from the adult." ”
Zheng Wuwu didn't bother to reply to him, so he only bowed his hand to Su Nanchen and said, "My lord, if Xie Songzhao doesn't die this time, let's do both soft and hard." ”
Su Nanchen blew on the tea foam and said, "How to apply both soft and hard?" ”
Zheng Wushi said: "My lord, let's first tempt Gu Mingchao to be a high-ranking official, he is a proton, floating all day long, as long as he moves with affection, he knows with reason......"
Wu Qing said: "This, what is the use of this Gu Ming Dynasty?" ”
Su Nanchen muttered: "Now Gu Mingchao is Xie Songzhao's guard and groom, and the high-ranking official Houlu will definitely be more tempting than an unworthy An Lehou." ”
Zheng Wushi bowed his head and said: "That's right, the adult married his daughter to Xie Songzhao, and ...... in the future." If he wins, he will kill Xie Songzhao and find a husband for the girl. If we unfortunately lose, we can say that we were coerced by spies, and Gu Mingchao is the scapegoat. ”
Su Nanchen put down the teacup and said: "In this world, it is just that the high position covers his eyes, and the rich and noble close his ears. ”
The door was suddenly opened, and a thick bloody qi rushed in, and the scarlet cloth shook, and people's heads rolled down all over the hall.
When the guards arrived, Gu Mingchao had already picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said in a rough voice: "Distribute less straw bales, it's quite difficult to carry them, and no matter how careful you are, your clothes are still stained with blood." ”
Su Nanchen had not encountered this situation yet, and some of them couldn't react, Wu Qing trembled and hid behind Su Nanchen's chair, and said, "Be bold...... Even if you are a marquis, you must also make it clear that this is Guiyang County! ”
Zheng Wushi got up and arched his hand and said: "I'm afraid that Hou Ye has some misunderstandings, we have evil thieves in Guiyang County all year round, except for the inexhaustible, Hou Ye is decorated with gold and jade, which naturally attracts the covetousness of thieves." ”
Gu Mingchao glanced at him and said, "It's better to let Xie Songzhao help you serve this gang of bandits." ”
Su Nanchen said: "No need, this gang of bandits doesn't do anything to burn and kill, just grab something, and they don't rob the people, they are quite famous among the people, and they can't serve it for a while, but it will arouse the anger of the people, and the gains outweigh the losses." ”
Gu Ming said: "The gains outweigh the losses? Marquis Yongzhao is the prince's cousin, is this still worth the loss? If Xie Songzhao dies in your Guiyang County, the prince's thunderous anger doesn't know how to stand it? ”
Su Nanchen was aggressive: "Gu Ming Dynasty, the people are the foundation of the country, this is the ancestral training of Taizong, as a minister, dare not forget." Because of Yongzhaohou alone, the anger of the people of a county is not worth the loss? ”
Gu Mingchao threw the cup to the ground, and after rolling it a few times, it turned red, "Lord Taishou speaks, it can be said that black and white are reversed." As he spoke, he took a sword flower in his left hand, paced to the eaves, tiptoed on his feet, and his body was light, and he disappeared into the night in a few flashes.
Su Nanchen frowned and looked at the head in the hall, Wu Qing hurriedly scolded: "Are they all dead?" Don't hurry up and pack it up! Turning his head to Su Nanchen again, he looked servile, "My lord, let's change the place to discuss things." ”
Zheng Wushi said: "My lord, we have to think about how to separate the two of them now." ”
Su Nanchen said: "This official is very willing to look at this Gu Ming Dynasty. How to separate? ”
Zheng Wushi said: "Don't adults hear about Yanzi's 'two peaches killing three soldiers'? ”
Su Nanchen's eyes lit up, and he got up and took Zheng Wufu's hand and walked outside, "How should I 'kill three soldiers with two peaches' now?" Where are the peaches? ”
Zheng Wushi said: "Adults only need to be like this......"
Zhou Guoyandu, Prince Xifu.
The crown prince rolled up the message sent back by Gu Mingchao, handed it to Yin Beichen and said, "Elder Ge, look at it, they are busy again this time. ”
Yin Beichen's eyes suddenly lit up, "Your Highness, this is a good opportunity!" ”
The prince said: "Pavilion Elder, use Xie Songzhao's life in exchange for this opportunity, this palace doesn't want it." ”
Yin Beichen said: "Master Hou will definitely understand the righteousness." ”
The crown prince was slightly annoyed and said, "This palace doesn't need it. ”
Yin Beichen got up and arched his hand: "Your Highness, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Why not, Weichen believes that even if Hou Ye is in trouble, there will be a way to get out of danger! ”
The prince said: "Ge Lao, as long as the palace is on Su Xing's side, and the gate of Guiyang County over there, Xie Songzhao is uncertain!" ”
Yin Beichen said: "Your Highness, now is the time to choose!" Please don't give up this opportunity, Your Highness! Make the most of it! A hundred years later, there will be a sum of money in the history books, no loss! ”
The prince shook his head and said, "Zi is not a fish, and he knows the joy of fish." ”
Saying that, he got up and walked away, Yin Beichen refused to give up this opportunity, forty years, he finally had the opportunity to target Jingxiang Jiujun, Guiyang was the most difficult piece of hard bone to gnaw, only by breaking this piece, the one behind, when he heard the wind, he would naturally be in awe of Yandu, and the crown prince would be able to ascend the throne a lot more smoothly.
Yin Beichen took out the strip again, and thought about thousands of strategies in his heart, he was afraid that the Xie family would control the court again, but he had to believe that Xie Songzhao was available.
The prince paced back to the backyard, Qi Shuying was waiting for him at the door of his bedroom, and the prince bowed his head and said, "Come in." ”
Qi Shuying waited for him to sit down, knelt down directly, and said: "The concubine was ordered to manage the West Mansion, but the concubine was extremely stupid, and now she has a letter, and she doesn't dare to be proficient, so she has come to ask His Highness to show it." ”
Wan Shen took the letter, ran up in small steps and presented it to the prince, the prince took it, his brows began to knot, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and said: "Well done, the letters to the palace to keep an eye on Su Xingzhi's correspondence, not a single one is missing." ”
Qi Shuying handed over a hot potato, and was in a good mood, and said: "Yes, the concubine obeys the order." ”
Gyeyang-gun.
Xie Songzhao took Gu Mingchao through the noisy bazaar, and Gu Mingchao stared at him deadly, for fear that a sword in an oblique stab would come out.
Xie Songzhao was much more relaxed, pulled him to his side, and whispered: "You don't have to be so flustered, if you miss a blow, they won't use assassination anymore. ”
Gu Mingchao said: "This should be more cautious, you are swaying around, you have no power to tie the chicken, you don't know how to be robbed later." ”
Xie Songzhao said: "Don't panic in the downtown area, when the people disperse in a while, let's take a shortcut from the alley and go back to be careful." ”
Gu Mingchao said: "I'm too lazy to tell you, you let go of me, I want to keep an eye on it all the time, they want to kill, they must be the first to rush at me, of course you don't panic." ”
Xie Songzhao bought a bag of side fruits, knocked as he walked, and said with a slight smile: "Where is Guihong?" ”
Gu Mingchao said: "The tea shop in front, the first table on the left side of the open air outside." ”
Xie Song shook him with his eyes and said, "Okay, don't worry, we'll wait for the soldiers to block it now, and the water will cover ......."
"Let me go—" The shrill voice silenced the city for a moment, and the man continued, "Let me go, I'm going to treat Lord Taishou!" Guest! ”
Everyone muttered and gave way, and the people who came crowded in front of Xie Songzhao with a smile on their faces, "Master Xie, our adults are invited." ”
Xie Songzhao calmly handed the side fruit in his hand to Gu Mingchao and said, "Lead the way." ”
Gu Mingchao took the side fruit, and wanted to throw it at him several times, holding the side fruit in his right hand and the sword in his left hand, thanks to Xie Songzhao's imagination, and worried that Xie Songzhao would not have anything to eat when he fought later, so he couldn't watch the play, so he gritted his teeth and endured it.
Xie Songzhao walked slowly, and by the way, he said, "Why did Lord Taishou suddenly invite Ben Hou to come over?" ”
The little servant said: "Master Hou, the slave doesn't know. Adults generally don't hold banquets, if the banquets are held by high-ranking officials and nobles, how can people such as slaves and maids know. ”
Xie Songzhao said thoughtfully: "How about you being too guarded to people? ”
The little servant said: "Naturally, it is excellent, the slave and maid are a subordinate, and they have never been whipped for no reason in the Taishou Mansion for so many years, unlike other mansions, where the slave and maid are sluts." The slaves and maids who go out of our mansion are all able to straighten their waists. ”
Xie Songzhao said with a smile: "In this way, Taishou is really a good official who loves the people like a son. ”
The little maid said: "That is, not only Lord Taishou, but also Mrs. is also excellent, the eldest lady has entered the palace as a mother, and Mrs. and the second lady have never bullied others." ”
Xie Songzhao said: "Then the marriage of the second young lady has been decided?" ”
The little girl said proudly: "Second Miss is not worthy of anyone, Second Miss is now Su Niangniang's sister, and she has a bright future." ”
