First Arrival in Yancheng Chapter 49 Friend or Foe
"That's child's play. Are these five princes and King Yan playing fools on the courtiers and His Majesty? ”
After reading Liu Dongyang's official document, Yang Yu's face was distorted, revealing a look of disbelief.
"Yu'er, don't talk nonsense. Not to mention that it hasn't been verified yet, even if it's fake, it's not your turn to preach. Only His Majesty can preach the prince. ”
Yang Zhong glared at the other party, and then looked at the official document again.
Although he also felt that the content was outrageous, he did not show it.
Yang Zhong knew how happy those opponents in the court would be if they knew this.
But when it comes to this, it can't be suppressed.
The news of last night's wildfire has spread all over the capital.
Subsequently, some inside information about the wildfire was "accidentally" leaked.
Now, the whole city is talking about the heroic appearance of the five princes.
After sighing, Yang Zhong looked at Yang Yu.
The other party noticed his gaze and was a little scared.
"Dad, I was reckless."
For this father, Yang Yu will only be an echo worm. I didn't dare to refute a word at all.
In this way, I still want to be the prime minister, I'm afraid I don't want the Yang family to become the second Li family. Yang Zhong thought secretly.
Even if it is his own son, he still looks down on each other.
When Yang Zhong's complexion returned to normal, Yang Yu whispered.
"Dad, who are you going to let to check, my suggestion is to send Liu Cun. He is reliable in his work, and he will not talk too much. ”
Yang Zhong shook his head and rejected the proposal.
"Let Zhao Yu go and check."
"Zhao Yu? He's a member of the Li family......"
The other party's rebuttal made Yang Zhong a little upset.
He lowered his face again, and his voice was louder.
"Shut up, are you bold? Dare to question your father's orders? ”
The other party's anger made Yang Yu a little confused.
After a few words and stops, he showed a cowardly expression.
"It's Father. I'll go and command. ”
After speaking, Yang Yu walked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion in frustration.
After watching his son lose his soul and leave, Yang Zhong closed his eyes and began to think about this incident.
"Your Majesty is right, you shouldn't let Yang Yu and the prince be together. It shouldn't be even better, let them have a relationship with the Rong family. can use this kind of farce to demand power. His Royal Highness King Yan is really terrifying. ”
Yang Zhong looked at this official document like a novel and sighed a few times.
Eventually, he took out a seal. In the blank space of the official document, it was covered.
"Come, send this official document to the palace and present it to Your Majesty as soon as possible."
Yang Zhong closed the document and handed it to the errand runner.
After the other party took it carefully, he quickly ran out of the door.
Then, a white horse came out of the Prime Minister's Mansion and went straight to the palace.
At this time, on a teahouse in the middle capital.
Liu Yifan looked at the people who rode out of the Prime Minister's Mansion and smiled.
"It's really the best place to watch a play."
Waiting for the white horse to disappear from view, Liu Yifan turned around and looked at Sima Liang who was resting on the recliner.
Immediately, he looked angry.
"Your Highness, you made such a farce, and you actually told me afterwards. It me off. ”
"Isn't that the end of it? It's time to see it well. ”
"I haven't eaten any skewers, what's good."
"You." Sima Liang smiled helplessly.
Liu Yifan was not so subtle, and laughed directly.
Then Sima Liang joined him and laughed aloud.
Hahaha.
The unbridled laughter of the two made Shi Cheng on the side a little embarrassed.
Sima Liang, who noticed this, stopped laughing wildly.
"Shicheng, it's good to be in China."
was suddenly called, and Shi Cheng was a little startled.
He hurriedly stood up and saluted.
"His Royal Highness Xie cares. With Brother Liu to take care of, life in Zhongdu is very good. ”
"That's good. Don't be so formal, you're not my subordinate. ”
Sima Liang stretched out his hands and motioned for him to sit down.
He then rested his hands behind his head and lay flat on his back in a chair.
"After this incident, the Shi family is afraid that it will be greatly affected. Although you were expelled from your home, it was also your blood relative. Won't you be a little sad. ”
Sima Liang's tone was flat, as if he was chatting.
But when Shi Cheng heard this, his expression changed a little.
Joy, confusion, sadness, all kinds of expressions flashed across his face.
"This is what they brought on themselves, and they can't complain about it. Besides, I can't go back, and even if they disappear, it doesn't matter to me. ”
After Shi Cheng sighed, he showed a wry smile.
Sima Liang looked at the other party and thought about how true or false this was true.
He wanted to use the identity of the former principal of Shi Cheng to calculate the Shi family.
There is such a big thing in official salt, and the division family is doomed.
Coupled with the fact that the fifth prince gave up his master's family, Sima Liang naturally would not let go of this good opportunity.
And he has to do the layout first, so that he can eat the other party's vacancy. After all, there are quite a few people staring at the vacancy in the division's family.
When Sima Liang wanted to discuss it with Shi Cheng.
There was a knock at the door.
"I think it's news from the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Liu Yifan walked to the door with a smile.
After Shi Cheng saw the other party leave, he stood up and came to Sima Liang's side.
He looked at the door again, and after confirming that Liu Yifan would not come back for the time being, he took out a book.
"I have something to give to Your Highness, and I should thank you for your help several times."
Sima Liang was a little puzzled by the other party's sneaky appearance.
He sat up and took the book.
"Your Highness, good news." Liu Yifan's voice came, and the door was opened again.
Seeing that Shi Cheng was so cautious, he also avoided Liu Yifan.
Sima Liang was cautious, but still stuffed the book into his pocket. When you're preparing a person, look at it again.
In order to prevent Liu Yifan, he saw that the two of them were abnormal. He put his head in his hands again and lay down.
Shi Cheng also pretended to drink tea and walked to the table.
After Liu Yifan sat down, Sima Liang's eyes opened and glanced at the other party.
"What good news."
"The person sent by the Prime Minister's Office to verify is Zhao Yu. That's the Li family, which is rooted in Miao Hong, and it will definitely not be verified. ”
"Yifan, you restrain a little. Shouting and screaming, for fear that others will not know, right? ”
"Your Highness, why aren't you surprised at all? Could it be that you even took care of Yang Zhong's side? ”
Liu Yifan looked at Sima Liang in disbelief.
He knew that the other party would calculate, but Yang Zhong was the prime minister and Sima Liang's sworn enemy, and he couldn't understand how the other party did it.
"There are some things that I can't say. Moreover, Yang Zhong asked Zhao Yu to check, it was very likely that it was his father's intention. ”
Sima Liang did not show a smug look, but looked solemn.
The content of his threat to Yang Zhong is that the Rong family is related to the remnants of the Yan Kingdom.
This important information was naturally not found out by Sima Liang. It was Lu Dashao who told him.
Just the day before yesterday, the other party came to the door and begged him to keep the Lu family.
Subsequently, Lu Dashao shook out a lot of things that Sima Liang didn't know about, and used them as bargaining chips.
It was also these secrets that made him change his original plan. orchestrated this pompous farce.
But Sima Liang knew that Yang Zhong was a foolish and loyal person.
If he threatens, then the other party will definitely ask the emperor for guilt.
Of course, this step is also in Sima Liang's calculations.
He mentioned the attitude of testing the emperor, if the other party would be angry. He categorically did not dare to do what was next.
Liu Yifan's eyes rolled a few times, and then looked at Sima Liang.
Then, he smiled.
"I shouldn't know, I won't ask. Whoever it means, as long as the ending is good. By the way, Your Highness, you plan to stay in Zhongdu for a few days. ”
Sima Liang noticed Liu Yifan's intelligence.
Follow the other person's words and avoid the topic.
"How many days?"
Talking about going and staying, Sima Liang walked to the window.
He looked at Zhongdu, who had been away for a month, and felt reluctant.
But if Sima Liang stays for a moment longer, there will be more trouble.
He looked at the sun in the sky and was distracted for a moment.
"The news has reached the palace, then today, tomorrow at the latest, the results will be announced. To keep those old guys from coming to me. In the afternoon, I will go back to Yancheng. ”
Sima Liang turned around and looked inside the room.
"So fast? That's a shame. Liu Yifan looked disappointed.
However, he did not intend to persuade the other party to stay.
"After this while, I'll be free. You can come to Yancheng when you have time, and I will take you on a tour of Jiangnan. ”
Sima Liang hugged the other party's shoulders and patted them twice.
"You're idle, I guess I'm going to be busy. Before the old forces of the Li family came to power, my father was probably going to be busy. As a son of man, even if there is a political disagreement, I still have to help. ”
Thinking that his father was on the opposite side of him, Liu Yifan's smile was a little restrained.
Sima Liang also knew the relationship between the other party and his father.
He patted Liu Yifan on the shoulder again.
"Could you be a fine work sent by the Yang family? Obviously, my father is a person valued by the Yang family, but he is close to me, the nominal master of the Li family's forces. Sima Liang said in a joking tone.
Liu Yifan smiled when he heard this.
Then, he also made an exaggerated expression.
"It's over, and it was discovered by His Highness. You're not going to die, I haven't lived enough. ”
"You kid, that's too pompous."
The friendship between the two that transcends power makes Shi Cheng very envious. I thought: I have had a lot of fox friends and dogs, but I don't have a single confidant friend. I've liked a lot of women, but none of them like mine. The world is so big that I can't find anyone who cares about me.
You're a failure. Shi Cheng sighed secretly.
When he entered the warm tea, he didn't feel any other taste, only the bitterness in it.
Togetherness is always short-lived, after the three of them drink tea and have fun for a long time.
Liu Yifan left with Shi Cheng.
"I hope we don't go to the opposite side."
Sima Liang looked at the tea cup in his sight, which was a little complicated.
The world is impermanent, even if he believes in the friendship between the two, Liu Yifan's father is a member of the Yang family after all.
The other party is mixed with himself, and he can't change this position.
Moreover, Yang Zhong is old, and Liu Yifan's father, Liu Cun, although he is not compiled, he is quite respected.
It is not impossible to have a position under that person.
If there ever was a day, it would be the end of their friendship.
Sima Liang stood up and walked to the window.
Near noon, the central capital was bustling and bustling, and everywhere he looked, most of them were smiling people.
Among them, there were also some people with sad faces, as well as some people in ragged clothes and numb expressions.
Look at these people who are either trying or giving up. Sima Liang was full of thoughts.
He shook the teacup in his hand for a moment, then watched the tiny pieces of tea drift around in the cup.
"Life is like a lonely boat, even if there is an oar, you can go against the course and change the course, but there will always be a time when you are exhausted. Moreover, there are always a few brave people who go against the grain, and most people still choose to go with the flow. ”
Most of what Sima Liang said, not only Liu Yifan, but also himself.
After going around and fighting for a while, he still relied on the power of the Li family.
"Perhaps, as soon as I first accepted it, there wouldn't be so much of a problem. Maybe ......"
"Your Highness, my junior son asks to see me."
With the sound of knocking on the door, the voice of the little third son appeared outside the door.
"This little third son is really good at picking time." Sima Liang was helpless.
He put away his thoughts, drank the tea in his hand, and swallowed the finely crushed tea leaves by the way.
"Come in."
Sima Liang put the teacup on the table and walked to the recliner.
It seems that he wants to lie on the chair and listen to the report of the little third son.
Crunch.
As the door was pushed open.
Two footsteps, one after another.
How to have two people's footsteps. Sima Liang was puzzled.
As he looked to the door.
"His Royal Highness King Yan, it looks very leisurely. It's not like you escaped death. ”
Zhao Gonggong's yin and yang strange voice came.
