Chapter 44: Taking over and resuming provocation (5)
Seeing that Eunuch Shen seemed to be unable to speak, Qi Shi hurriedly urged: "Please father-in-law hurry up." ”
"I see you are smiling," Shen said lightly, "and it seems that you are just as interested in this." If the Yue Gong is willing, the villain can propose to His Majesty that the ...... Qi set the consulate's mansion as a line. ”
As soon as these words came out, Qi Zhi unconsciously looked at Lu Fangxuan; But Zheng Shiyan wiped his sweat on the side, and his eyes glanced around.
Lu Fangxuan frowned low, his expression was serious, and his hands clenched the bamboo recliner tightly, making a crisp crunching sound.
"Father-in-law Xie is kind," Lu Fangxuan was a little impatient, "It's up to you to do this." ”
Shen actually smelled a bit of danger, and hurriedly got up: "The little ones will do their best, and the more public will take care...... Leave. With that, he bowed hastily to the other two and hurried away.
After being silent for a long time, Lu Fangxuan suddenly sighed bitterly, rubbed the white hair on his head, and looked at the white wall in front of him in a daze.
Qi Zhi's legs were numb, but he still tightened his cheeks, like a mouse out of a hole, and he didn't dare to provoke a little trouble. He twisted his neck towards Zheng Shiyan's side. Zheng Shiyan looked at him, not knowing what to do.
"Qi Zhi, what kind of trick are you playing!" Lu Fangxuan slapped the table when he landed, and Qi Shi trembled in fright.
"I have told many times in the past that this line of battle needs to be watched and seen, and there is no need to rush to success; It's better for you to go to Eunuch Shen in private, you have to set your line with us...... He is a member of the Liu Party, although he has groveled for many days, but after all, he is here to probe our details, if he sees me fighting with the Ten Thousand Parties, how can the Liu thief know everything! ”
"You can refuse." Qi Zhi found a reason for himself.
"Refusal is even worse! When he hears me, he will guess that there is a gap in my heart, and there is a difference between the top and the bottom! You don't understand this? Lu Fangxuan shouted.
Qi Shi was silent.
Lu Fangxuan gasped, sat back on the recliner again, thought about his past behavior, and closed his eyes; After a while, he still did not make a sound.
Zheng Shiyan expected that he was asleep, so he exchanged a look with Qi Shi and motioned for him to leave quickly.
Qi Shi pursed his lips, nodded sullenly, and then walked out of the corner door. Zheng Shiyan was afraid of disturbing Yue Gong's tranquility, so he also tiptoed and prepared to walk away.
"These days, we will strictly guard against Qi Consulting," Lu Fangxuan suddenly spoke, and he didn't fall asleep.
Zheng Shiyan felt that this was not quite right, but he still respectfully accepted the order and quietly retreated. Just as he approached the door of the main hall, he faintly heard Lu Fangxuan's muttering: "It seems that I can't count on him anymore......"
Wan Heshun's illness was finally cured. But before that, he had Hu Qi, who was in the palace, write a notice on his behalf, and with the consent of all the nobles, distribute it throughout the city. The notice is now posted on the wall and reads as follows:
'I would like to follow the orders of Wan Heshun, the king of Jiankang County, Lu Fangxuan, the prince of Yueguo, and Ye Yongjia, the prefect of Nanjing, to inform the people: I wanted to set up an emperor in the palace, but the palace was old, there were no people for a long time, and everything would be suffocated. The Jiankang Palace, with gardens, council houses, and bedrooms, is full of respect for Kowloon. All the attendants can also let them enter. The purpose of this announcement is to reassure the people, and not to breed rumors again! ’
The people gathered around several floors to watch, and Cai Xianqing was also crowded in the middle. He didn't care much at first, but when he saw the words 'Nanjing Prefect', he wondered in his heart: 'This matter is related to the safety of Nanjing and the safety of the community, why can't he see his shadow?' ’
He walked out of the crowd and thought, 'He has not spoken, so why don't I pay a visit to him and find out what is in his heart?' He clapped his hands, made up his mind, and went to the yamen.
"Ye Zhifu!" Cai Xianqing went to the study with a smile and shouted loudly.
Ye Yongjia hesitated for a moment before getting up and saluting: "Oh, you haven't been here for a long time." ”
"Don't talk about anything else," Cai Xianqing didn't care about his identity, pulled out a chair and sat down in front of him, "Just talk about the relocation here." It's like you don't want to deal with it! I would like to ask, what exactly do you think? ”
Ye Yongjia smiled bitterly, and asked him instead: "What is Mr. Cai's attitude towards this?" ”
Cai Xianqing grinned: "You don't know about me? Let's be honest, I don't care about this, but the two parties of Wanlu have brought out the survival of the society, haha, bullshit! I only lean on Tinglong, and we don't pay attention to those miscellaneous party members. ”
"But you always have to show your heart," he turned to Ye Yongjia again, "Otherwise, the three parties will be overturned, like a flood!" ”
Ye Yongjia groaned: "I talked to Mr. Wei about this. I have always been a supporter of the Liu Party, but I am not a dummy; Today, Liu Zhennian came in person, and I was in a dilemma. ”
"Why?" Cai Xianqing asked with interest.
"His trip will surely lead to the death of all lands, and if I do not resolutely attach to him, I am afraid that my life will not be saved. Mr. Wei said to me, 'Liu Zhennian entered the court with military horses, brutalized Zhongneng, killed countless people, and the palace was full of blood, and the government and the opposition were in chaos like this, and the people did not enjoy a day of peace; This person has the heart of a jackal, if he assists him, the world's loyal ministers will survive, and Nanjing will inevitably fall into a sea of fire. When I think of this passage, my heart is always twisted like a knife......
"Tinglong is not a corpse vegetarian." Cai Xianqing saw his tangled and anxious eyes, and became serious.
"If I go to join the Liu Party, what's the difference between me and Wei Chong? Wouldn't it be because I struggled to get such a reputation? Although Ye Yongjia's tone was resolute, these words were like questioning himself, turning over and over in his heart of doubt.
"That's not true." Cai Xianqing supported the young prefect, "There are many people who have stooped to traitorous ministers in ancient times, and it is not uncommon to finally destroy their party, so why be so harsh?" ”
To Ye Yongjia's ears, this was just a pale and weak defense.
"Please don't comfort me," Ye Yongjia gritted his teeth, "I took refuge in such a treacherous evil, how can I survive in the world?" Is there no second way? ”
Cai Xizi thought about it and patted his head: "It's really not." The Wan Party will not trust you, and neither will the Lu Party. No one can protect you unless you do nothing but die. ”
"To die, but I ......" Ye Yongjia wanted to continue, 'I have to do something for the people of the world', but he closed his mouth - he felt that he was no longer worthy of righteousness.
Cai Xianqing was looking at him like this, but he was happy: "Tinglong, you are really strange. For a while, he helped Wan Heshun to do things ruthlessly and without mercy; After a while, he had great righteousness in his heart and was unwilling to serve the traitorous ministers; What the hell do you think? ”
What did he think? Ye Yongjia looked at the stacks of paperwork on the table in confusion, as if he didn't know anything about himself. His spirit has been regrouped many times, but he still hasn't come out of this half-light, half-dark, narrow alley.
