Chapter 106: Meeting the Teacher and the Town Camp (6)
Lan Yuan saw that there was no one else nearby, so he closed the door, turned his back to open the letter, and read in a low voice: "Dong Sheng's guy really received the guidance of the military department to avoid this catastrophe. He took Du Qing's suicide note and gave orders, temporarily bluffing the generals, but according to my expectations, this situation could not be supported for a few days. In order to prevent him from having another treacherous scheme, I hope that the waiter will read the acting governor Zhang Chenghuai, and remove the eye-catching word 'generation', and everything will be fine. Also, what to do next, please read the instructions. ”
Confirming that he had not missed a word, he crumpled the letter into a ball, tossed it into the brazier, and paced to think about his next steps. Although he racked his brains, he couldn't think of a proper way for a while, so he had to put it aside, first wrote about Baoju Zhang Chenghuai's slight, and after solving the matter, he came back and thought about it carefully.
After thinking hard until late in the evening, Lan Yuan finally had an idea, hurriedly spread out the blank paper, and wrote with a pen:
It is expected that Dong Sheng is a member of the Ye Party, and he will want to urgently implement a new policy. Under the pretense of Zhang Dudu's mouth, in the name of the imminent arrival of the imperial court's money and grain, he urged Dong Sheng to raise and draw up a plan in advance for future implementation; And induce it to write a draft page by page, and pick the most radical one out of them and hand it over to you to take with you. Once this is successful, you can retreat to the rear of Huai'an City, and hype up the terrible aspects of the New Deal, which will inevitably be resented by the people. If he used gold and silver a little, bribed local officials, cut off Suidi's money and food, and lacked materials on the front line, which naturally led to a mutiny, how could Dong Sheng have a reason to return to heaven? ’
He finished writing hastily, and he didn't bother to modify the words, so he folded it directly, stuffed it into the pocket of his subordinates, and told him to go and come back quickly. Counting that this letter would definitely arrive in the day, it was not long before Lan Yuan breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
Just when he was complacent about his clever plan, he suddenly heard a shout outside the door: "Lan Waiter, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has summoned you to the side hall for questioning." ”
Lan Yuan hesitated for a moment and tightened his shirt: "Oh, I'll go now." ”
As he spoke, he got up and went to the hanger to get his robe, and muttered: "Probably the short-eyed one was seen in the morning and told the prince!" It seems that His Highness is about to be angry......"
Lan Yuan wiped the sweat from his forehead, walked into the inner courtyard quickly, and looked up to see that the lights in the hall were brilliant, and the windows were also flashing with red light, and the emperor was not ready to sleep tonight.
He approached the door, vaguely listened to the movement of the phoenix flute and the pipe, pushed the door and looked, and saw the prince lying on the jade couch, drinking red all over his face, and watching a team of dancers scratching their heads in front of him, dancing all kinds of enchanting dances.
Lan Yuan hurriedly lowered his head, coughed a few times, and knelt down in front of the prince: "Junior Minister Lan Yuan see His Highness." ”
The prince shook the wine glass in his hand, stared ahead with his eyes fascinating, and did not look at him at all: "Oh, well, get up, get up." ”
"The minister thought that the situation was getting better, and His Highness's mood was better, so why did he drink again? If there is anything, just discuss it with the minister, the minister is really worried about His Highness's body. Lan Yuan cautiously admonished.
"Oh, it seems that you know everything better than this king." The prince placed the wine glass heavily on the pear blossom wooden table and stared at him.
Lan Yuan nodded again: "Minister...... Can't. ”
"You're so bold, why don't you dare at this time?" The prince smiled lightly, then looked around, "Left and right, take these girls down first." ”
The eunuch who was waiting understood the prince's intentions, and went down to drive all the dancers away, leaving only him and Lan Yuan here.
The crown prince looked at Lan Yuan, who was trembling, and sneered: "Lan Waiter, don't pretend...... I trust you so much, but you do such a deceitful thing! Why, if you don't obey the king's order, give Dong Shengwang a face, so that you can go to the Ye Party, right? ”
Lan Yuan hurriedly replied: "Wei Chen's loyalty is evident, but I see that your strategy is not complete, and it is difficult to admonish, so I am a little deceitful. But in the end, it's for your own good, in order to save this great situation! ”
"What a 'little deception'!" The prince laughed, "Fooling me, the prince of the East Palace, today will deceive the prince in the future!" ”
"Minister......
"You talk nonsense!" The prince raised his eyebrows, and in a fit of rage, he slammed the wine glass to the ground, and it shattered as soon as it fell.
"Your Highness is angry, Your Highness is angry......" Lan Yuan listened to the crisp sound, raised his eyebrows slightly, and his heart was much more steady.
Who knew that after this fall, the prince didn't know whether he regretted it or suddenly woke up, and he no longer had a fierce look on his face, and he didn't make a sound. He seemed to be a little overwhelmed, took a few steps in front of the steps, pointed at Lan Yuan blankly and said, "You...... Are you convicted? ”
Lan Yuan choked up and said, "How dare Wei Chen not know the crime!" But this matter has been done, irreparable, and must not be given up halfway, so please ask Your Highness to be magnanimous and allow you to write down this mistake, so that Weichen will be guilty and make meritorious service! ”
The prince sat down slowly and waved his hand slightly: "Then you can get up." If you disobey the order again in the future, you will not be spared! ”
Layuan didn't take these words to heart, only nodded frequently there, saying 'thanksgiving'.
"This blue abyss...... Look, write me something! ”
After reading the reply, Cun Zhao couldn't help complaining and discarded it disdainfully.
The henchmen were surprised, and lowered their heads to pick up the letter: "Lan Shiyu is known for his resourcefulness, how could he make a stupid move?" You might as well take a closer look. ”
"No need," said Cun Zhao categorically, "I only begged him to solve the crisis of the day, but he did not care at all, and there he talked and said things that did not matter!" Now that Dong Sheng's foothold is not stable, just to destroy his prestige, so that he can't control the military power, if he really waits for the word 'New Deal' to come out, it will be too late. This plan wants me to urge him, isn't this self-defeating! ”
"It's not unreasonable for the villain to look at Lan Shi's words."
Cun Zhao sneered: "You are not as well-informed as this official, I don't know if this strategy is useless!" There are bound to be problems when it comes to execution! ”
The henchmen then said: "My lord, although this plan is not good, it is the intention of the prince after all. If you don't listen to the command, it's okay if you succeed, but if you don't...... I'm afraid I'm going to punish you. ”
Cun Zhao's heart chuckled, he couldn't help but think of the past with Taisu, and he still felt creepy. He hated that he still remembered these past events, but no matter how much he drove them, he couldn't drive them away, as if a shadow hung over his heart.
Under the domination of this emotion, he first wiped the cold sweat oozing from his neck, and then said in a hesitant voice: "You, you have a very reasonable point. I'm just their thug, and I don't have to carry a black pot for them. Hurry up and summon Zhang Dudu to come over, and I will discuss a big matter with him! ”
