Chapter 115: The Guardian Refuses to Bend His Waist

On the banquet, Jia Sheng boasted about Haikou in front of Yang Silang, wanting to subdue Li Yunhan; The next day, he sent Taozi to Zhiyuan, saying that he had prepared a banquet and wanted to invite Li Yunhan to Baiming Hall for a talk.

Unexpectedly, Li Yunhan refused after hearing this, saying that he wanted to see off Miaojin and had no time to go to the meeting.

Tao Zi persuaded hard for a while to no avail.

When Jia Sheng heard that Li Yunhan refused to come to the meeting, he became angry and snorted: "Don't you just be a Hanlin, and you don't even recognize Lao Tzu!" ”

Jia Sheng was sullen, and Ni Sui came to see him, saying that Chu Qing was happy to have a noble son, and asked him to go to the villa for a while.

Jia Sheng couldn't excuse himself when he heard it, so he left the house with a gift.

After entering the village, Chu Qing asked him to sit down with a smile on his face. The two exchanged a few words, Chu Qing frowned suddenly, and said, "There is one thing, I have been holding back for a long time, and I don't know whether to talk about it or not?" ”

"Say it," Jia Sheng put down his wine glass and looked up, "You and I are like brothers, so what's so embarrassing." ”

Chu Qing said "um" and said, "Brother Jia has close contacts with Li Yunhan, Wang Jie and others, but you have to be careful." ”

"Oh?"

Chu Qing said solemnly: "According to investigation, Li Yunhan disobeyed his will and secretly hid the son of Shi Zheng. ”

"Childe, don't come out of nowhere." Jia Sheng's face was ruthless.

"Of course it's true." Chu Qing stared at him closely, "This son is now hiding in Zhiyuan, if Brother Jia doesn't believe it, you might as well go and inspect it yourself." ”

"This," Jia Sheng smiled dryly, "isn't it just that taking in a child is not a crime." ”

"There's something worse than that......"

"Oh?"

"Li Yunhan, Wang Jie, Da Fu and others did things for the crown prince, and secretly formed a secret gang headed by Donggong - the Iron Cloak Society, they probed for information, framed assassinations, and did everything......"

Jia Sheng pretended to be nervous when he heard this, and asked, "Is this serious?" ”

"Believe it or not." Chu Qing put down his wine glass, his eyes revealing a mysterious cold light, "That martial virtue secret treasure, have you ever heard of Brother Jia?" ”

"Well, Jia has heard of it."

Chu Qing sighed and said, "It's a pity, this treasure will be swallowed by him alone." ”

Jia Sheng was skeptical when he heard this: "No, how does he know the whereabouts of the secret treasure?" ”

"Li Yunhan is a disciple of Pei Min, the head of the Yuhua Temple, and he often goes up the mountain to find it in the name of his apprentice, so he knows it."

"Oh, I see." Jia Sheng listened thoughtfully.

"Chu has said a lot today, please don't mind my brother." Chu Qing picked up his wine glass, "Come, it's done." “

Jia Sheng raised his wine glass and drank it all, chatted with him for a few more words, and left.

At this time, Ji Wen walked out of the inner room and said with a gloomy face: "Since the prince wants to denounce, why did he talk about the secret treasure?" ”

"Of course it works." Chu Qing sneered, "If Yang Silang learns about this, he will want to take it for himself; With Li Yunhan's heart, he will never agree. In this way, there is a good show to watch. ”

Ji Wen nodded after hearing this.

In the afternoon, Li Yunhan left Zhiyuan and sent Miaojin and his mother Liu, Du Miao and others to Zhuozhou.

Everyone slowly left the capital all the way, and unconsciously arrived at the Baliu Station, still full of inseparable feelings.

Li Yunhan called Du Miao aside and told him to take care of Miaojin on the way, and transport Lord Luo's coffin back to Yuelu Mountain, and then return to Chang'an......

Then, he walked to Miaojin's side and stared at her affectionately for a while, and the thousand words in his heart seemed to be transmitted through his eyes. After some careful advice, he said that Luc was now on an errand in Weizhou, and advised her to stop by when she passed by.

After hearing this, Miaojin readily agreed.

Knowing that Lynver had been dismissed and Ji Wen had been imprisoned, the prince was so excited that he laughed into the air several times, and the bitterness and resentment that had accumulated in his heart for many years seemed to disappear.

On this day, he chatted with Fu Guo in Shaoyang Palace for a while, and when he heard that King Jing was ordered to inspect the East China Sea, he couldn't help frowning and said, "What is the purpose of my father's order to send him on patrol several times?" ”

Fu Guo thought for a moment and said, "The slave thinks that His Majesty is old, or he wants him to have more experience to prepare for the succession to the throne in the future." ”

When the prince heard this, he couldn't help but panic in his heart, and sighed: "If this is the case, it will be difficult to protect the storage position of this palace......"

While the two were discussing, the servant came to report that Da Fu was asking to see him. It turned out that after Lin Fu was dismissed, Da Fu sent people to quietly trap Master Bamboo Shadow and detain her in a secret stronghold on the outskirts of Beijing.

Da Fu said to the prince: "After interrogation, Master Bamboo Shadow confessed that she was Ji Wen's undercover agent. This person was originally a concubine of the first prince of Xi Guo, and went to Beijing with her husband to do business in her early years, because her husband was involved in the case of the former prince's rebellion, and the husband and wife were both imprisoned by Dali Temple; In order to save her husband, Master Zhuying had to take refuge in Ji Wen and was placed in the Gangji Temple as an eyeliner for detectives former prince Li Ying and his comrades. ”

After hearing this, the prince said "um" and asked, "Where is her husband?" ”

"According to the secret files of Dali Temple, it is known that her husband has been dead for several years, and Ji Wen has been concealing the truth, imitating her husband's handwriting, and falsely claiming that he is still alive......"

The prince was quite sorry when he heard this, and sighed: "This old nun is also infatuated, but it's a pity that he is tired of love and falls too deeply." ”

Da Fu said: "She was also forced to be helpless, and she was very remorseful afterwards. ”

When the prince heard this, he felt pity in his heart, and commanded: "If you have remorse, then spare her life; Expelled from Chang'an and never allowed to return to Beijing. ”

Da Funuo sighed.

After being silent for a while, the prince gently stroked the silver hair on his temples and sighed: "Since the establishment of the crown prince, this palace has been repeatedly framed by the party of forest thieves, and I hate to eat its flesh and sleep its skin; It's been more than ten years, and the heavens have eyes, and finally let this palace out of this evil breath, and it can also comfort the three imperial brothers under Jiuquan, as well as Wei Zhi, Shi Zheng, and Asnuo, who are wronged souls......"

"Of course it's worth rejoicing." Fu Guo smiled and complimented, "This time, our side has won a complete victory, and it is all thanks to His Highness's planning." ”

"Hmm." The prince's face showed a hint of smugness, "What about that Mintai?" ”

Da Fu said that he had gone to Jiuyuan County to join Pu Huaien.

"Not bad." The crown prince raised his eyebrows, "The next step is to deal with Yang Silang with all my might." ”

Da Fu nodded and said, "Lin Fu was dismissed, and most of his old subordinates were transferred to Yang Silang's sect; Now Jinghu has concurrently served as a squire in the military department, and I heard that Yang Silang still wants to show him as the commander of the forbidden army. ”

The prince was shocked when he heard this, and he snorted for a long time, and said, "I just went to a tiger, and a wolf came again." ”

Da Fu said solemnly: "Your Highness, it should be two wolves." ”

The prince was stunned: "Oh? ”

Da Fu said: "According to the secret report of Long Biao, Chu Mohan, the king of Dongping, is sharpening his sword Huo Huo, and he will soon want to raise troops against the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Daqing is wrong." The prince shook his head and said indifferently, "Although Chu Mohan is a big disaster for the imperial court, he is far away; Even if it is reversed, what big waves can be stirred? But King Jing is different, he will replace the palace at any time, and this is the biggest threat to the palace. ”

Da Fu hesitated and said, "However, this time King Jing has also made a great contribution......

"What a great achievement," the prince interrupted him and asked, "Could it be that you heard Li Yunhan say something again......

Da Fu's body trembled violently, and said: "He said that King Jing is immature and not worried, but he is worried that His Majesty is old, and in order to prevent changes, he needs to step up contact with General Chen Xingjia." ”

When the prince heard this, he relaxed slightly, and said indifferently: "What Qingchengzi said is true...... This time, it was Hongu who stepped in. ”

After speaking, the prince ordered Dafu to arrange for him to meet Chen Xingjia.

Jia Sheng listened to what Chu Qing said, but he was still skeptical. After leaving Fulong Villa, he took a detour to Zhiyuan, planning to interview Li Yunhan and persuade him to take refuge in Yang Silang.

When he arrived at Zhiyuan, Jia Sheng quietly dismounted. He pushed open the courtyard door and stepped in, and only after a few steps did he bump into him with a thud. It turned out that Shi Nan was chasing Xiao Ban and accidentally bumped into him.

Seeing this, Shi Nan hurriedly bowed his head and apologized, and said sorry to Jia Sheng.

Jia Sheng remembered what Chu Qing said, looked at Xiao Nan carefully for a while, and said to Shao Ling, who was watering the flowers on the side: "This kid is really sensible; But Brother Li's son? ”

Du Shaoling shook his head and said casually: "His name is Xiao Nan, and he is the son of Lord Shi Zheng." ”

"Shi Zheng's son ......"

"Hey, wrong." Shaoling saw Jia Sheng's eyes showing a cold light, and hurriedly changed his words, "It's the son of Shi Xiang's old friend, because his parents traveled far away and stayed in the dormitory temporarily." ”

Jia Sheng nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, and entered the living room with Shaoling.

Li Yunhan was talking to Mama Buckwheat, and when he saw Jia Sheng, he hurriedly got up to greet him, and asked him what was the matter here?

Jia Sheng sat down and said, "Mr. is only eight years old, and he has only made a small Hanlin, which is really a bit wronged; For this reason, Lord Yang is very reluctant not to go anywhere. ”

"Yang Silang," Li Yunhan smiled indifferently, "Although the official position is small, Li is also content." ”

"Sir, don't be humble." Jia Sheng narrowed his eyes, "Since Lin Fu's fall, when the imperial court is in urgent need of employing people, Lord Yang is thirsty for talent, as long as Mr. takes refuge in him, his career is unlimited." ”

"Thank you, Lord for your kindness;" Li Yunhan nodded lightly and said tentatively, "Li has always been idle and uninhibited, and he can only write a few lines of poetry, I don't know what he can do under his knees?" ”

"Then it depends on the sincerity of the gentleman."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Little things, little things." Jia Sheng chuckled twice, "I heard that Mr. knows the whereabouts of the Martial Virtue Secret Treasure, this name is not light. ”

"I wonder who your lord has heard?" Li Yunhan was immediately alert when he heard this, and glanced at the room, "If Li knew this treasure, how could he end up with a family surrounded by walls and poverty!" ”

Jia Sheng was a little angry when he heard this, and said, "I really don't want to say it? ”

Li Yunhan pretended to be mysterious, lowered his voice and said, "It's not a secret, I'm also looking for it." ”

"Sir will be disappointed if he acts like this!"

"Hmph, I've been disappointed in him many times!"

"Oh?"

Li Yunhan said angrily: "When I rescued him, he promised to use General Guo Yi, but so far there has been no movement. ”

"This ...... Isn't General Guo still worried," Jia Sheng looked solemn, "According to the court's practice, if it is activated, it will be two years later at the earliest." ”

"Hmph, if you know that there is today, regret that you shouldn't have saved him in the first place!"

"Forget it, Brother Li, that's all in the past." Jia Sheng eased up, his eyes revealing a hint of coldness, "As the saying goes, if a person is too straight, it is easy to break, so you have to do it yourself." ”

"Don't say more, my lord;" Li Yunhan's expression was calm, "Yun Han is indifferent by nature, and he has long been disheartened by officialdom. ”

"You really don't want to be promoted......"

"Yes, Hanlin's hat, I don't want to wear it for a long time!"

"Well, ambitious." Jia Sheng smiled bitterly, and saw that it was difficult to persuade him for a while, so he got up to say goodbye and walked away in a huff.

After sending Jia Sheng away, Li Yunhan's mood was difficult to calm down for a long time. He stood silently in the courtyard for a while, looking at the heather who was playing with Xiao Madara, and couldn't help but feel a little sad.

He called Wu Qi and ordered him to go to Fanchuan, saying that Xiao Nan missed Aunt Du and invited her to come to Zhiyuan.

Wu Qinuo was about to leave, but when he raised his foot, he saw He Wen enter the garden.

Li Yunhan was taken aback and hurriedly stepped forward and invited He Wen into the living room.

It turned out that He Wen did not dare to slack off after receiving the order, and took a group of capable people to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and checked all the chapters, classics, books and other materials from the Wude period to the Taizong Dynasty, but still did not find reliable clues about the Yin Prince. Later, he was reminded by an old official guarding the treasury and persuaded him to try his luck in the Xiyuan treasury outside the palace, saying that during the Tang Dynasty, the palace mutiny, and the fire burned down part of the buildings of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion; Later, in order to renovate, some of the seriously damaged classics and pieces were moved to the Xiyuan warehouse.

After hearing this, He Wen's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly took people to the Xiyuan warehouse. After a painstaking search, he finally found two valuable clues......

"It's hard work." Li Yunhan was pleasantly surprised when he heard what He Wen said, "I don't know if those two clues?" ”

He Wen smiled indifferently and said: One is the holy decree of July of the first year of Zhenguan, after the imperial history Xiao Yu was ordered by Emperor Taizong to secretly investigate the prince Yin; One is Xiao Yu's fold in the second year of Zhenguan, according to what he investigated, Prince Yin had favored a maid before his death, and he was pregnant; Unexpectedly, after the change of Xuanwumen, this woman has no whereabouts......

Li Yunhan got up after hearing this, bowed to He Wenshen and thanked him again.

"In this way, there is a good chance that Mr. will be the queen of Prince Nayin." He Wen eased his brows and frowned, "I don't know what Mr. plans to do?" ”

"It is enough to know the truth in this life, but how dare you have any other extravagant thoughts in your later life."

"I don't want to climb the ...... of the emperor"

"Well," Li Yunhan nodded slightly, "Later born indifferent by nature and likes to travel, and the identity of an additional royal clan will make people uncomfortable everywhere." ”

After hearing this, He Wen took a long breath and said, "Mr. has a noble character, and it is really difficult for a villain to tolerate it; If they knew about it, it would inevitably add to the chaos. Sir, rest assured, for the sake of Mr.'s career, the old man is willing to keep this matter a secret, including the saint. ”

Li Yunhan thought for a moment and said, "My lord is too worried. If there is a holy question, even if it is played truthfully. ”

He Wen smiled slightly and nodded.
