Chapter 117: Orphans' Farewell Makes Waves
After the court meeting, Emperor Xuan's mood was still difficult to calm down. Gao Jun saw that he was a little depressed, so he persuaded him to go to the Imperial Garden to relax.
Walking slowly on the shore of Longchi Lake, but seeing the lush grass on both sides of the river, the maple leaves dyed red, and a group of white cranes hovering in the air with a crisp chirping, Emperor Xuan stood and watched for a while, and the worries in his heart also dissipated.
He was intoxicated by the autumn scenery when a little eunuch came to report that He Wen had come to see him.
After a while, He Wen came to him under the leadership of the two little yellow gates, met Emperor Xuan, and truthfully reported to him the process of finding Li Yunhan's life experience.
Emperor Xuan pondered for a while after hearing this, and said softly: "In this way, Li Yunhan is the queen of the hidden prince......"
He Wen said "um" and said: "There are jade pendants and documents to corroborate each other, although it is not very certain, but there are also seven or eighty percent certainty. β
Emperor Xuan listened to his eyebrows and looked into the distance, and said coldly: "This person can't be left anywhere!" β
He Wen was quite panicked when he heard this, and said: "This matter has been more than a hundred years, and the clan grievances have long since disappeared, why can't you keep him?" β
Emperor Xuan turned his head and smiled lightly: "He Qing misunderstood, I didn't want to kill him, but said that you can't stay in the court as an official!" β
"This ...... Li Yunhan is talented, and it's a pity that he can't be retained. He Wen looked displeased.
"I've been thinking these days, this person is arrogant, but the edge is too strong; It has only been a few days since he entered the court, and he cooperated with others to accuse Chu Mohan of plotting rebellion...... How can you say I can tolerate it! β
He Wen hesitated and said, "As the saying goes, 'loyalty is against the ear', please think twice." β
"I have made up my mind, He Qing don't say more."
"This ...... The old minister has completed His Majesty's entrustment, and it is time to leave Beijing and return to his hometown. He Wen sighed, "Your Majesty, rest assured, from now on, the secret of Li Yunhan's life will bury the bones of his retinue under the green mountains and no one will know." β
"Okay." Emperor Xuan suddenly felt a lot more relaxed when he heard this, "On the day of He Qing's departure, I will personally lead hundreds of officials to see him off." β
"No need; Although the minister is old, his body is hard, and he can happily do it with one ride and one servant. β
After that, He Wen said to Emperor Xuan and said goodbye to walking slowly with a cane.
In the early morning of this day, as soon as the sky was bright, Luc packed his bags and quietly escaped from Weizhou City.
Unexpectedly, he didn't go far before he was caught up by two killers sent by Chen Yeshuo. The two kidnapped Luc to the side of the road, snatched his package, raised his knife, and were about to kill the mouth, when they met Miaojin, Du Miao and others passing by. Miao Jin and Du Miao hurriedly rushed forward to repel the killer and save Luc.
Luc was very surprised to see Miaojin, and greeted him for a while, and when he heard that Luo Feng was unfortunately killed, he couldn't help but cry bitterly.
Luc was remorseful at the moment and told Chen Yeshuo about Chen Yeshuo's secret connection with the Hedong Gang and adulteration in the official salt.
Miao Jin was shocked when he heard this, and persuaded him to go back to the capital to see Li Yunhan as soon as possible.
Luc agreed. He said goodbye to Miaojin and rushed to Chang'an.
Knowing that Luc was rescued, Chen Yeshuo was very disappointed. Since Lynver was dismissed from the right phase, he has often had trouble sleeping; also heard that Lin Fu was convicted of rebellion and dissected the coffin and buried separately, and he was even more terrified.
He was worried that the collusion with the Hedong Gang would be exposed and liquidated by Yang Silang, so he packed up the gold and silver, fled from Weizhou City overnight with his family and a few henchmen, and went to Yuyang to seek refuge with Chu Mohan.
Wu Qi went to Fanchuan, and after repeated inquiries, he finally found Aunt Du.
In the afternoon, the two returned to Zhiyuan together, but unfortunately Mama Buckwheat took Xiao Nan to the street to play.
Li Yunhan took out thirty taels of silver from the package and handed it to Aunt Du, saying that the Pomegranate Inn was destroyed and wanted to fund her to reopen a new store.
When Aunt Du heard this, she immediately refused; It's not easy to say that he is an official, so let's keep it for Xiao Nan.
Hearing this, Li Yunhan couldn't help but feel a little sad, was silent for a while, and said: "Every time I see Xiao Nan, I think of Master Shi; But so far, I can't avenge his grievances, it's really guilty! β
Aunt Du frowned and said, "Lin Fu is dead, why can't Master Shi be rehabilitated?" β
"Well, you don't understand that." Li Yunhan shook his head slightly, "Although this case was instigated by Lin Fu, Yang Silang was also involved; With him, not only will the case not be overturned, but more innocent people will be affected. β
Aunt Du seemed to understand when she heard this, and sighed lightly: "At a young age, I suffered this kind of accident, what a pitiful ......"
The two talked calmly for a while, and suddenly Mama Buckwheat took Wang Xun into the house. Wang Xun said that Wang Jie has been busy taking care of his father at home recently, and has no time to come to Zhiyuan; About Li Yunhan two days later, he took Xiao Nan to Baliuyi.
It turned out that Wang Jie returned to Beijing this time, and he wanted to wait for the opportunity to get rid of Yuan Chong, but the prince sent people to urge him to go to the Eastern Capital several times to take up his post. Wang Jie thought that Yuan Chong's martial arts were strong and in the dark, it was indeed difficult to have a chance of winning, so it was better to wait until there was a chance in the future.
Seeing Lou Yue's displeasure, Wang Jie smiled and forked the topic, saying that Shi Nan was talented, well-behaved and handsome, just like when he was a child, she would like it when she saw Baozhun. The two decided to rush to Luoyang the day after tomorrow and take Xiao Nan with them......
As soon as she heard that she was going to give Xiao Nan away, Aunt Du was a little anxious and said, "No, I can't bear to let him go!" β
"That's why I've called you this time." Li Yunhan's nose was sour, "Xiao Nan is the time to read and write, but you look at my situation, how can you take him well?" After thinking about it, it was better to let Wang Jie adopt him. β
"No, and me."
Li Yunhan smiled bitterly and said, "There are many people in the land of Gyeonggi, and Xiao Nan is a guilty body, so he is not safe at all; Besides, Wang Jie and I are like brothers, and he has no children under his knees, so he will definitely take care of him as if he were his own. β
Aunt Du pondered for a while and seemed to have figured it out, "um", and asked, "Where are you going?" β
"Eastern Capital - Luoyang."
"Oh my God, there are seven or eight hundred miles of land, and it will not be easy to see him in the future!" Aunt Du said with tears in her eyes.
Li Yunhan advised her not to be sad; If you miss it in the future, let Du Miao accompany you.
Aunt Du wiped away her tears and said "um".
After being silent for a while, Li Yunhan turned to ask about Du Miao's life experience.
Aunt Du's face changed when she heard this, she snorted, and said, "Nosy! With that, she turned and walked out of the house.
Li Yunhan hurriedly got up to chase after her, persuading her to wait a little longer.
Aunt Du said "don't wait", and left Zhiyuan without looking back.
Seeing this scene, Li Yunhan's heart was churning, and he wondered what he had done wrong...... He pondered for a while, summoned Wu Qi, and planned to go out together to find Shi Nan.
The master and apprentice went out and searched along the street for a long time, and finally found Xiao Nan in a newly opened casino called Ming Paradise.
It turned out that Shi Nan went out to hang out with Mama Buckwheat, and when she arrived at a gambling house, she saw everyone gathered around to fight crickets. He watched it for a while and thought it was funny, so he asked Mama for some money and made a bet. Unexpectedly, he lost a few handfuls in a row due to bad luck, not only gambling all the money on Buckwheat, but also owing a lot of gambling debts. The shopkeeper was Ma Liu, and he took a fancy to the jade pixiu worn on the heather at a glance, so he had to use it as a bet. Xiao Nan refused, and cried in public.
Mama Buckwheat couldn't leave, so she had to say some good things to Ma Liu, begging each other hard.
was at a stalemate, Li Yunhan entered the house. Heather saw a head thrown into his arms, whining and sobbing.
Li Yunhan asked the reason, took out a piece of broken silver from his arms, and handed it to Ma Liu. At the moment when Ma Liu took the silver, he suddenly felt that this person was a little familiar.
Li Yunhan's brain spun rapidly for a while, and he recognized that this person was the troublemaker in the Oman warehouse that day, so he shouted and said, "Zhu San, it turned out to be you!" β
"You've mistaken someone." Ma Liu was stunned for a moment, and said with a dark face, "I'm not Zhu San, my name is Ma Liu." β
"Ma Liu," Li Yunhan asked sharply, "Say, why did you go to the Oman Warehouse to make trouble?" β
"What nonsense, I haven't heard of it." After speaking, Ma Liu raised his feet and wanted to slip away; After walking a few steps, he was caught by Wu Qiyi.
Wu Qimeng pushed him to the ground with all his might, and said, "If you don't tell the truth, I'll beat you to death!" β
Ma Liu saw that his legs and feet were weak, and he got up and begged: "A good man spares his life...... I am also commanded by men. β
Wu Qi asked, who instructed him?
Ma Liu said timidly: "Fulong Villa, Steward Ni." β
"Hmph, as I expected." Li Yunhan pondered for a moment and said solemnly, "Then I'll take you to the official mansion." β
The two of them were about to go out with Ma Liu, when they suddenly heard a shout from behind them: "Mr. is ruthless enough, aren't you smashing my field!" β
Li Yunhan looked back and saw Jia Sheng swaggering over from the West Wing, so he bowed his head slightly, saying that Ma Liu had committed a crime and wanted to take him to Jingzhao Mansion to record a confession.
Jia Sheng blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "Don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha; Say it, make an offer. β
"It's not about losing money, it's about taking him to the government to testify." Li Yunhan said.
"Sir is an elegant man, why should he be serious with a scoundrel in the market!" Jia Sheng arched his hand, "This mistake is recorded on Jia's head, how about it?" β
"Well, since you have an adult as a guarantor, then spare him." Li Yunhan restrained his smile, "But when you use him in the future, you have to be on call."
"Don't worry, with Jia here, he can't run." Jia Sheng said and kicked Ma Liuyi, "Don't hurry up and thank Mr. Li!" β
Ma Liu immediately thanked: "Sir, the villain is wrong, wrong ......"
Seeing that Li Yunhan wanted to leave, Jia Sheng hurriedly stopped him and said, "Have you thought about what you said last time?" β
"I think about it," Li Yunhan looked calm, "Don't bother with adults, Yunhan is casual by nature, and he can't do that flattering thing." β
"Sir, you really don't appreciate it?" Jia Sheng glanced at the heather, and cried a little, "For this reason, I can't sleep at night, and I don't dare to reply to Lord Yang." β
Li Yunhan smiled indifferently when he heard this: "What is there to worry about, my lord can report it truthfully." With that, he took the heather out of the courtyard.
Jia Sheng looked at his distant back and stomped his foot hatefully.
In the afternoon of this day, Wei Huaibing interrogated Bi Linfu's two sons, and couldn't help but feel much more relaxed when he saw that the case was in sight, so he thought about going to Haiminglou to have a good meal and treat himself.
He walked out of the Yushitai alone and walked south along Suzaku Street, but along the way, he saw that the autumn was bright and bright, and the pedestrians were bustling and lively, and his steps became cheerful.
After entering Haiming Tower, he sat down and asked for seven or eight kinds of meals such as raw fish and braised prawns, and enjoyed them leisurely. I had just eaten for a while, and suddenly I heard someone talking loudly in front of the door, and the voice was very familiar. Wei Huaibing looked up and saw Da Fu and Chen Xingjia dressed in civilian clothes, talking and laughing on the second floor.
It turned out that Da Fu was ordered by the prince to ask Chen Xingjia to meet here.
Wei Huaibing couldn't help but feel confused when he saw it, and was about to follow upstairs to take a look, but unexpectedly, a tall and fat man squeezed past him. When the man turned the corner, Wei Huaibing took a closer look and recognized the man as the prince.
Wei Huaibing suddenly felt that something was abnormal, but it was not convenient to go upstairs to inquire, so after thinking about it, he returned to his original seat and ate absentmindedly.
Da Fu accompanied Chen Xingjia to the second floor and entered a private room, where the wine and food on the table had already been arranged.
Da Fu bowed his hand again and said, "What you said last time was offensive, please forgive the general." β
"You're polite again, the old man still wants to thank you." Chen Xingjialang laughed a few times, "Thanks to the good medicine you sent, the internal illness has been cured." β
"Well, I'm relieved to be reassured." Da Fu toasted a glass of wine and changed the subject, "I think back to more than ten years ago, I once toured the side with the general; At that time, although the barracks were bitter, they talked and drank freely...... It's just that since the general became the commander, I haven't had a drink with you again. β
Chen Xingjia smiled indifferently when he heard this, and said, "My lord's meeting this time is not just for drinking and catching up with the old days, right?" β
"Hmm." Da Fu put down his wine glass, "There is a word below, I don't know if I can talk about it?" β
"Tell me, what?"
"The old general is loyal and brave, but it's a pity that he is slandered by traitors, and his official position is afraid that he will not be guaranteed."
Chen Xingjia was stunned when he heard this, and asked him why he said this?
"It is reported that Yang Silang once reported to His Majesty that he wanted Jing Hu to replace the position of commander, I wonder what the general thinks?"
"Nonsense! The promotion, appointment and dismissal of the commander of the forbidden army are all determined by His Majesty alone, and it is up to his surname Yang to have the final say! β
"General, don't forget, with that Concubine Yi blowing the wind on the pillow, he can't do anything!"
Chen Xingjia slapped the table and got up when he heard this, and said angrily: "He dares!" β
Da Fu hurriedly helped Chen Xingjia sit down and said, "The general is angry, I hope Your Majesty will not be confused by slander." β
"Da Yushi, you just want to say this when you see the old man?"
"No, I want to solve problems with the general for the country."
Chen Xingjia listened silently and asked, "I don't know what is the difficulty of the country?" β
Da Fu said solemnly: "There is Yang Silang who is domineering and corrupting the dynasty, and Chu Mohan is dominating the three towns and intends to raise troops; With such internal and external troubles, isn't it a national disaster? β
After a moment of silence, Chen Xingjia asked, "What do you want?" β
"Soldiers, punish Yang thieves!"
"Hugh is talking nonsense!" Chen Xingjia pressed his sword and said angrily, "The old man only knows how to guard the palace and protect His Majesty in this life, and he has never thought of him." Hmph, if it weren't for the old love, the old man would kill you immediately! β
Da Fu straightened up and smiled lightly: "I'm just trying to advise; The general is killed, and what can be done! β
"Hmph, I want to see the old man again in the future!" After speaking, Chen Xingjia turned around and walked out the door. Suddenly, the door curtain was lifted, and the prince walked in, bowed slightly to Chen Xingjia, and said, "The general's loyalty is really admirable." β
When Chen Xingjia saw that it was the crown prince, he was stunned and hurriedly bowed his hand, and said, "Your Highnessβ"
"The palace has admired the general's prestige for a long time, so Toda invited him to meet again." The prince gently helped Chen Xingjia to sit down and said.
"I'm afraid this is inappropriate...... Chen Xingjia looked out the window worriedly, "The commander of the forbidden army has a private relationship with the East Palace, but it is a big crime." β
"What is a personal relationship and not a personal relationship; The general can rest assured, today the palace only drinks with the general and catches up with the old, and does not talk about political affairs, how about it? The prince pleaded.
Seeing that Chen Xingjia's face was still tense, Da Fu hurriedly bent down and apologized: "What Fang Cai said is really extreme, and I also ask General Haihan." β
Chen Xingjia saw that the two of them were sincere, his tone softened slightly, and said with a wry smile: "Chen Mou has a word first, drink three cups and leave!" β
"Okay, just three drinks." The prince hurriedly poured the wine and held it with Chen Xingjia in both hands.
Chen Xingjia took the wine glass and drank it all......
Wei Huaibing hastily finished his meal, and after leaving Haiming Tower, he went straight to Yang's mansion and informed Yang Silang of Chen Xingjia, the prince's secret meeting.
Yang Silang was quite shocked after hearing this, and said coldly: "I dare to meet Chen Xingjia privately!" It seems that Yang really underestimated him. β
Wei Huaibing said: "The reason why the prince and the adult were friendly at the beginning was just to use you to deal with Lin Fu; Now that he's relieved, he wants to do it to you again. β
Yang Silang thought for a while, sighed, and said: "Why don't you want to save it as soon as possible, but Your Majesty can't make a decision." β
"Don't worry, adults." Wei Huaibing Yin laughed, "Didn't King Jing return to Beijing yesterday, you might as well go and persuade him in person...... When the time comes, I will take the opportunity to advise the saint to abolish the prince. β
Seeing that Yang Silang was still a little hesitant, Wei Huaibing told him his plan.
Yang Silang listened to it quite approvingly, and nodded with a smile.
The two were discussing secretly, and the housekeeper Yang Ke took Jia Sheng into the house.
Hearing that Li Yunhan refused to come to seek refuge in himself, Yang Silang couldn't help but be disappointed, and sneered: "It seems that Brother Jia has made another trip in vain." β
"Of course it's rewarding." Jia Sheng paused, "According to the investigation, Li Yunhan not only secretly had close contacts with the East Palace, but also privately adopted Shi Zheng's youngest son, Shi Nan. β
Yang Silang was taken aback when he heard this: "Is this serious?" β
"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes."
"This," Yang Silang frowned, "After Li Yunhan backed his back to the East Palace and took in the rebel Shi Zheng, what was his intention?" β
"Of course there are other plans." Wei Huaibing's face was gloomy, "Since that's the case, it's better to get rid of this person." β
"Well, since he is ruthless, then don't blame Yang for being unjust!" Yang Silang's eyes showed a fierce light, and he said fiercely, "It's time to eradicate the prince's party......
