Chapter 220: Yang Liantuo Gu
Speaking of this, Zhao Rui didn't know how to speak. Although she has been married once, she must not have had a round room, and her face is still as thin as when she was a girl. In her heart, she wanted to ask Yu Ren when he would marry her. However, when these words were put in her own mouth, she could never ask. Zhao Rui, who was angry, turned around and left.
As soon as Zhao Rui turned around, he saw a person walking in in a hurry, and the two almost bumped into each other.
Zhao Rui looked up, but it turned out to be her father-in-law Yang Lian in her current name. Zhao Rui hurriedly retreated, stood aside, and didn't dare to leave again.
"Why did Brother Yang have time to come to me?" As soon as Wang Wenyan saw Yang Lian coming, he hurriedly greeted him.
Yang Lian glanced at Yu Ren and did not speak.
Wang Wenyan understood and was busy introducing Yang Lian. "This is Yu Ren, who was in Hangzhou City and fought for my Donglin Party members, speaking of which, he and Ling Lang are also close friends."
When Yu Ren heard that this Yang Lian was actually Yang Ju's father, he was also very surprised, and hurriedly gave Yang Lian a salute. "Shibo is good."
Yang Lian heard that it was Yu Ren and knew that it was not an outsider, so he was relieved. He really had an urgent matter to find Wang Wenyan this time, so he had no intention of playing tricks with Yu Ren, only nodded to Yu Ren, and then turned to Wang Wenyan and said, "Brother Wang, have you heard about the emperor?" ”
Wang Wenyan shook his head, "I just returned to Beijing, I don't know what happened in the palace?" ”
When Yang Lian said this, he shook his head, glanced at Zhao Rui and said, "Rui'er, you go out first." ”
Zhao Rui agreed and withdrew. Yang Lian said to Wang Wenyan that the harem sent eight new beauties to the emperor, and the emperor was diligent in government affairs for several days, and after a few days, he suffered a big loss. Now I'm bedridden. That's it, but he believes in those eunuchs.
That Cui Wensheng, you've heard of it! He was originally a person next to Concubine Zheng, and now he is a eunuch by the emperor's side. After the emperor fell ill, this Cui Wensheng prescribed a pair of medicine to the emperor, and the emperor really ate it. As a result, this flavor medicine is a laxative, and the amount is very large.
The emperor took this medicine and went out dozens of times a day, and now he can't get up.
I made a break the day before yesterday, accusing the emperor of not caring for his body so much, and not believing these eunuchs. This morning, I heard a word from the palace, saying that I would enter the palace with Liu Shoufu, Lord Zhou, Zhang Guogong and others in the afternoon.
The emperor summoned all the important members of the cabinet and the important members of the first and second grades of the ministry, and I was sandwiched among them in the matter of a seven-grade thing, which is too abnormal. I guess that the emperor must have been angry at my excerpt and wanted to punish me. If I go, I'm afraid that it will be more auspicious. That's why I've come to you. I hope that after I die, you will remind Lord Liu, Lord Zhou, and Lord Sun more, and pay more attention to these eunuchs in the palace.
These eunuchs are people who revolve around the emperor every day, and if there are one or two with ill intentions, the consequences will be terrible. Most of these eunuchs used to be members of the Zheng family, and they wanted to prevent the stubborn ones. Although the emperor has ascended the throne, the woman still has no intention of giving up, and she still wants her son King Fu to ascend the throne.
In my guess, she must be thinking that as long as the emperor falls, the eldest son of the emperor is still young, and it is even easier to deal with him. In this way, his son King Fu was also very close to the throne.
Several adults are righteous men and gentlemen, although they cannot be bullied, they can be bullied. Among our Donglin people, only you and Brother Huang are still understandable people. You must be careful of these eunuchs' tricks against the emperor. After I leave, you have to walk around with Wang An's father-in-law more and communicate with him more. It is necessary to remind the prince from time to time, be optimistic about these eunuchs around the emperor, and if anyone has a problem, they must be eliminated immediately.
To deal with these eunuchs, we must not be merciful, and if we find a problem, we must use the power of Dongchang and Jinyiwei to uproot these people.
Today's saint is a benevolent king, as long as all the adults are good at assisting, there is still a chance for the Ming Dynasty to prosper. And the most important thing for you is to beware of all parties against the emperor to make tricks and stumble on our Donglin people, these methods are not good at your adults. They are all virtuous gentlemen who disdain to resort to these means. However, in the political arena, it is often inevitable that there will be these shady and damaging tricks. ”
Wang Wenyan has been listening to Yang Lian quietly, and he knows. Yang Lian was explaining the aftermath to him.
"Brother Yang can rest assured. Although Brother Yang wrote to reprimand the emperor. But today, the saint is still a virtuous monarch, and the emperor will definitely understand your loyalty to the country and the people, and will not blame you heavily. ”
Yang Lian sighed. "The so-called holy will is unpredictable! I had to prepare early. In case I die, you must remember what I told you today. ”
When Wang Wenyan saw Yang Lian say this, he couldn't say anything more, so he said, "You can rest assured." I've taken your words to heart.
But don't you have anything to explain about your family affairs? In case something happens to Brother Yang, is there anything at home that needs to be done by the younger brother? ”
Yang Lian shook his head, "Uchiko left me a few years ago, and Inuko passed away last year. There is nothing left to explain at home. ”
As soon as Yang Lian's words were finished, he suddenly saw Yu Ren standing aside, as if he remembered something.
"I'll write another letter! You must help me bring it to Lord Zhao. Tell him that I have agreed to let Rui'er go back to her mother's house. Whether it is marriage or marriage in the future, my Yang family doesn't care. ”
After Yang Lian finished speaking, he picked up the pen and wrote.
In a moment, the letter was written, Yang Lian put down the pen and bowed his hand to Wang Wenyan. "From now on, the affairs of the state and Donglin will be entrusted to Brother Zui."
After speaking, Yang Lian turned his head to look at Yu Ren who was standing aside, and then turned around and left.
Yu Ren quietly sent this seven-grade imperial history who was dedicated to the country, and his heart was also moved. He is just a seven-grade petty official, originally these national affairs have nothing to do with him, not to mention that he is still in the military department, these things are things that cannot be compared with the eight poles of the military department, but he still resolutely risked losing his head to write to the emperor.
Although Yu Ren did not agree with his foolish and loyal approach, he could not help but be moved by his righteous and self-sacrificing behavior.
As soon as Yang Lian left, Zhao Rui immediately walked in again.
"Cousin, does the emperor really want to kill my father-in-law?"
Wang Wenyan shook his head, "I don't know either." Your father-in-law is right. Although the saints today seem to be benevolent and love the people, as the saying goes, 'a companion to the king is like a tiger'. Providence is unpredictable! Who can say for sure! And I heard him say that the others who were called together this time were all important members of the first and second grades and important ministers of the cabinet, and your father-in-law alone was a seventh-grade official, which was indeed a little abnormal. ”
"So, what then? Cousin, you have to think of a way to save my father-in-law! ”
Wang Wenyan shook his head, "I know your father-in-law's temper too well. This time, the emperor summoned him, and if he was to admit his mistake, he would definitely die and not admit it. I'm afraid that the emperor will be angry and really kill him. If he is willing to admit his mistake, he will be fine. But from what I know of him, he would never. Even if you lose your head.
This is Yang Lian. ”
"Is there really no way?"
Wang Wenyan shook his head slowly.
Zhao Rui set her sights on Yu Ren again.
"We can't enter this palace, and we can't interfere with what is happening in the palace. I can only help you get to the palace gate to find out some news. What's more, this matter is still just speculation, and it is unknown what the emperor will do with Lord Yang. When the will is settled, we can still figure out a way. Yu Ren said.
He has been with Zhao Rui for a long time, and of course he understands what she means by looking at him. However, it was the first time he had been to the capital, and he knew nothing about the people and things here. Even Wang Wenyan has no choice, and he can only wait passively if he has any good ideas.
"I'll go with you! I'm still serious about a few people in the palace. The prince and I have a good relationship, even if I find out the news, it is more convenient. ”
While the two were talking, they walked outward, and Zhao Rui followed behind the two silently.
"You better not go, the palace is different from other places, in case there are some extraneous things that are not good." Wang Wenyan's meaning is very clear, he is worried that Zhao Rui is too beautiful and will be seen there. In case it is said in front of the emperor by a guy who wants to please the emperor again. No matter how hot the emperor is, Zhao Rui will be reimbursed in the palace for the rest of his life.
However, Zhao Rui was very stubborn, she took out a silk scarf and covered her face, but she refused to go back.
