Volume 1: Morning and Song and Twilight Chapter 165: The surface is calm, but in fact the undercurrent is surging
Yu Yi stood up, saluted goodbye, got up and walked to the door, and opened the door to see the bear Deye. Like his voice, he is also very strong-looking, with a horizontal body and a fierce face.
Xiong Deye didn't know that there were other people in the house, thinking that it was the old marquis who came out, but he didn't see anyone clearly and said: "You old guy, have you come down with two batches of silver?" ”
After speaking, he saw the person who came clearly, and when he saw that it was Yu Yi, he hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted: "His Royal Highness Linwang ......"
Yu Yi nodded at him, then gave up his position and walked out, the two looked at each other, Yu Yi looked at his eyes, and always felt that something was wrong. But he didn't think much of it, and walked away quickly.
After three days of recuperation in Mocheng, the mission set off against the capital. And in the capital, a fast horse stopped at the gate of the Nanyang Courtyard.
Yan Yongsi turned over and dismounted and rushed into the courtyard.
The tea bowl fell to the ground and exploded into countless pieces. Liu Wenzhong was stunned: "What did you say?" Zhao Changwai led the army to pick up Yu Yi? ”
Yan Yongsi bowed his head: "When Yu was trapped, the second prince came with a soldier from the Shen family and exchanged Yan Moge's life. ”
"Yan Moge?" Liu Wenzhong couldn't see through this situation, and stepped forward to stare at Yan Yongsi with a question mark on his face, "Why is the second prince of Northern Khan in Zhao Changwee's hands?" ”
Yan Yongsi showed a hint of apology: "My subordinates don't know that the second prince has never taken the official road when he marched. Yan Yongsi half-knelt on the ground, "The subordinates are ineffective, and I ask the adults to punish them." ”
Liu Wenzhong did not get angry, but became solemn, he bent his arms in front of his abdomen, and paced to the edge of the pond.
"The palace eyeliner said that His Majesty sent them to Taiyi Mountain to suppress bandits, but they went to Guanbei ......" Liu Wenzhong whispered, suddenly his face was stunned, and his expression became ugly, "No...... Your Majesty is suspicious of me......"
"Eternal thought." Liu Wenzhong turned back suddenly, "Inform Yan Jingshan that business is suspended." ”
"My lord......" Yan Yongsi opened his mouth half-open, hesitating.
Liu Wenzhong waved his hand to stop him: "Yan Jingshan pointed the spearhead of gentle incense at Taiyi Mountain, Your Majesty sent Zhao Changwee to suppress the bandits, but in fact he went to Guanbei, the two places are thousands of miles apart, and it is impossible to transfer halfway." ”
Emperor An secretly crossed Chen Cang and deceived everyone, there were only two reasons, either Yan Jingshan, who took the first step of chess, cooperated with Emperor An, or Emperor An took advantage of this to blindfold Liu Wenzhong. In fact, if you think about it further, Yan Jingshan has been by Liu Wenzhong's side since he joined the company, and he has no chance to contact others at all, which Liu Wenzhong also knows.
Yan Yongsi doesn't talk much, but he is smart, and he understands when Liu Wenzhong says this.
"I'm afraid that the eyeliner in the palace is not guaranteed, Yongsi ......" Liu Wen's poisonous eyes reappeared, "I did him." ”
Yan Yongsi bowed his head heavily and turned to leave.
Liu Wenzhong sat down in his chair a little weakly, and the person he had never seen in his mind who had never seen Xinglou made his forehead covered with dense fine sweat.
He knew that if he was mixed into the gentle incense business now, he would get his shoes wet sooner or later. Liu Wenzhong had to make a decision that would have been made a long time later.
The cold wind blew through the pond, bringing ripples, and finally brushed Liu Wenzhong's slightly old cheeks, he couldn't help but tremble, stood up and left.
"Sister Wanrong!"
Ding'an lived in the account room, Shen Xuan pushed open the door, and Wanrong inside was so shocked that she hurriedly put away something.
All this was seen by Miss Shen, she saw through it without saying anything, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry Sister Wanrong, I forgot ......" With two smirks, Shen Xuan closed the door again and knocked politely outside: "Sister Wanrong, can I come in?"
Listening to this delicate and contrived voice, Wanrong also shook her head helplessly, and sighed lightly: "Come in." ”
"Sister Wanrong! Coming back, coming back! Shen Xuan changed back to his original appearance in just three seconds, pushed the door, and strode into the account room with his skirt on his face, dancing with excitement on his face.
Wanrong was amused by her antics and said lightly: "I already know, you girl is always so hot." ”
Shen Xuan smiled, and suddenly reacted, and his clever eyes that saw through everything stared at Wanrong: "You know? Why do you know? But did Xu Gongzi write to you? ”
In this regard, Wanrong always can't hide things, and every time she is seen through by Shen Xuan at a glance, this time she was questioned by Shen Xuan's straight ball and blushed.
Wanrong pretended to be angry, frowned with delicate eyebrows, and said coquettishly: "Isn't the store busy today?" ”
"Busy! Busy! Shen Xuan looked bad and accompanied by a cute smile, "I'll be busy first, and then I'll see Sister Wanrong!" ”
As soon as the smoke slipped away, Shen Xuan had already closed the door of the account room, and the footsteps gradually faded away, and Wanrong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In the south of the city, in the deacon's house.
"Coming back?"
"Yes, the news I just received has already left Mocheng." Bai Hongzhi replied.
Yun Xinghe raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "Hey, this position will be returned after all." ”
Bai Hongzhi was speechless, why is his master still addicted to occupying the magpie's nest? Of course, these words are impossible to say, otherwise they will be beaten. Bai Hongzhi held the handle of the knife: "What are you going to do next?" ”
Yun Xinghe suddenly glanced at his apprentice: "What else?" Go back to Dali Temple and continue to be my free and loose official. ”
"That gentle ......"
Before he finished speaking, Yun Xinghe stopped him sharply. The tone was very relaxed: "Let's go, I'm hungry." ”
Bai Hongzhi understood, no longer spoke, but walked out with Yun Xinghe.
In the Qingyang Palace, Bai Wu, who had not appeared for a long time, had already saluted solemnly at this time and stood in the palace of the three provinces.
In the past, Bai Wu, as the commander of the Vermilion Bird Gate, often had a bluffing face that was not angry and arrogant, but he became much more amiable after not seeing him for a few months, although his face still had some murderous aura, but he looked a lot more comfortable.
"Lord Bai, why are you still fat after living in this palace for so long?" Gonggong Li couldn't help but smile and asked.
Bai Wu scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly: "Gonggong Li, you don't know, I have nothing to do every day, so I will naturally get fat." Wait for Your Majesty to come, you can help me talk about it, and let me go back to the Suzaku Gate. ”
"Back to Suzaku Gate? Lord Bai still has a lot of ideas, huh? ”
An Di's voice came from behind the screen, very calm, without waves, but when it came to Bai Wu's ears, hair stood up.
Bai Wu hurriedly straightened his sleeves, lifted the hem of his shirt and knelt down: "Weichen Bai Wu, meet Your Majesty." ”
Emperor An slowly walked up to the desk, sat behind the bookcase, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Bai, do you really let your affairs pass like this?" ”
Bai Wu trembled, he never forgot what he had done. Emperor An said this, and Bai Wu stopped talking.
The needle drop in the hall could be heard, and Emperor An continued: "If it weren't for Zilin asking me to give him time, do you think you Bai Wu would still be able to see me in these three provincial halls?" ”
"Your Majesty! The minister did not dare to forget for a moment...... It's just that the ministers ......" Bai Wu held his head, unable to speak.
Emperor An looked at these decades-old ministers, and his heart was also uncomfortable. He sighed and said, "Okay, Zilin said let me believe him, and I will believe him." ”
It took Bai Wu a long time before he could hold back a 'yes'.
"Yes, yes, yes. is so old that I can't hold back a few words in my mouth, and I am not ashamed. Emperor An rolled his eyes in disgust, "Zilin and they have already left Mocheng, and they will be there in about half a month." ”
Bai Wu's eyes radiated some brilliance, and he suddenly got up: "Then is my daughter also back?" ”
Emperor An raised his chin: "So I came to discuss with you about your daughter's marriage in the palace." ”
"Huh?" Bai Wu was dumbfounded when he heard this, and pointed to the palace gate, "Aren't they already ...... in Wuthering Heights"
"Already, what already!" Emperor An feigned anger and slapped the table, "This marriage is given by me." Get married! I've got to be there, too! Wuthering Heights... That... That doesn't count! ”
Bai Wuke couldn't afford to provoke Emperor An, so he immediately echoed: "Yes, yes, don't count." ”
"That's right." Emperor An folded his sleeves, "So when they return, I will hold a new banquet for them." Bai Wu continued to smile and nodded, but Emperor An sighed and looked embarrassed, "But you also know that my daughter, I am afraid that it will be difficult to marry, and my queen has a wish in her heart to send her daughter to marry herself." ”
"Your Majesty." Bai Wu stood up and saluted, "The daughter of the family has lost her mother since she was a child, and it would be good if there was a queen mother to marry, but as elders, we still have to respect the children's decisions." ”
The queen's mother is the world, and if there is any girl in the capital who can let Queen An marry, it will not lose a good story.
Emperor An agrees very much, Bai Jiangyi, this girl, has a lot of thoughts that are true. And even Yu Yi can't do anything about her, Emperor An is not the kind of emperor who threatens others with holy decrees and punishments at every turn, but Emperor An is not in a hurry, after all, his wife is Queen An.
The so-called one thing descends to one thing, and the queen descends to all things.
"Go back, go back, I'll send a forbidden army to you, go and clean your mansion, don't be disgusted when my daughter comes back." An Di waved his hand to drive people away.
Bai Wu saluted and said, "Your Majesty." ”
The ministers of the palace all know that from this day on, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs are like facing a great enemy, and they are in a panic every day, and even the Ministry of Rites is not in the morning court, and they are running around every day.
Looking bigger, the entire capital is peaceful on the surface, but secretly it is turbulent. Yu Yi returned with the ink scale guard, and the situation in the capital is going to change dramatically, including Emperor An, whether it is Liu Wenzhong, the left minister, or Yun Xinghe, the Qingqing of Dali Temple, or Yan Jingshan, the head of the household, they all know in their hearts that this is really the last big game of chess, and the loser will really lose.
Half a month's journey, it was winter to spring, and when Yu Yi led the team to see the gate of the imperial capital, it was already full of greenery, and tender shoots broke through the ground. The wind became soft and natural, and even if it was still a little chilly, it was very comfortable. The wind has already brought some peach blossom fragrance, refreshing people's hearts.
Yu Yi stopped the team, took Bai Jiangyi's hand and stood at the front looking into the distance. The city gate of the imperial capital is solemn and solemn, and the people under the city gate are not lively. Shen Jiayi, Zheng Bingzhou, Xu Yangqiu and others also stood beside Yu Yi, and everyone looked at each other.
It has only been a few months since I went out to the north this time, but it seems that a long time has passed, and now I look at this capital city is a little strange.
"It's back!" Xu Yangqiu stretched his waist and took a deep breath of spring, feeling comfortable.
