Chapter 255: Staring
The Mo family is in Kyoto, and they have always let people go, and after Wu Jin returned to Beijing, these people were used by him.
After Wu Jin sent Mo Lingfeng a letter of "Luozi", he kept ordering people to keep an eye on the movement of the delivery shop outside Kyoto, and pay attention to the music and military information from Kuanzhou.
If the difference between the book and the military situation is less than four quarters of an hour before arriving in Kyoto, you can let it go, if the difference is too large, you must stop the book under the Wazi Bridge, wait for the military information to arrive at the delivery shop, and then let it go.
He had to make sure that the two things, one after the other, could not be separated by more than four quarters of an hour.
Once exceeded, the edict will be painted, recorded, and announced under the emperor's anger, and when the military situation returns, the emperor's anger has spread from the palace to the outside of the palace.
Even if the emperor withdraws the edict, Mo Lingfeng will collude with the soldiers and plot misdeeds, and everyone will know about it.
This will be a stain and a handle on Mo's Leaf.
Political opponents will use this to attack and annihilate Mo Lingfeng, and when they hear about it, they will think that Mo Lingfeng is desperately trying to make up for his mistakes on the battlefield, to show loyalty to the emperor, or to expand his own power.
In short, all her exploits stem from her guilt first, not for the country and the people.
When the emperor is about to fall, he no longer has to worry about Mo Lingfeng's military merits, but he can gain the support of his subjects.
The secret letter and military information from Kuanzhou, originally according to Mo Lingfeng's inference, the secret letter was slower, and the military situation left a day late, just enough to press the secret letter into Beijing, but when the last stop outside Kyoto was delivered, the secret letter had arrived, but the military information was nowhere to be seen.
The people of the Mo family immediately passed the news with a whistle, and finally according to the strategy formulated by Wu Jin in advance, when the secret letter arrived at Waziqiao, they created chaos and blocked the way of the secret letter.
Kyoto merchants, when going ashore and crossing the bridge, are required to pay taxes, if they have paid once when they go ashore, other places can not pay, but must show a certificate, that day of the Wazi Bridge, two merchants insisted that they had paid the tax once, but could not get the certificate, and the tax soldiers quarreled, one of them pushed the tax soldiers into the river.
After this farce, the merchants and the people who watched the lively market had blocked the Wazi Bridge and had not yet evacuated, and then another person claimed that he wanted too much, and it was hard work to sell it, and he poured out a basket of fresh fruits on the spot.
Peaches and plums rolled down to the ground, and everyone scrambled to grab them, squeezing over a basket of lotus flowers and trampling the flowers into mud.
The half-sized man who sells flowers sits on the ground and cries, scolds the fruit and scolds, beats people arrogantly, and looks at the lively continuous arch fire, not thinking that it is a big deal, and blocking the messenger who sent the secret letter on the Wazi Bridge, and it is difficult to move an inch.
It wasn't until half an hour later that the people of the Mo family received the news that the military situation had entered the handshop to change horses and people, and they began to evacuate in an orderly manner.
The delivery person sent the secret letter to the palace gate, and it also needed to be questioned and searched layer by layer, and then forwarded by the inner servants layer by layer, and finally reached the emperor's hands, but the 100,000 urgent military information could be driven straight into the palace without any interrogation, this time was enough.
Behind the seemingly coincidence, it is actually Wu Jin's precise calculation.
Even if the emperor wanted to investigate, he couldn't find out.
Kyoto is prosperous, and it is not surprising that such disputes caused by the payment of taxes abound, and more importantly, Wu Jin stayed in Hanlin Yuan for several days and never left the city gates.
In the Luodeng Temple, the Buddha incense is lingering, Wu Jin moves his nose, he can't smell any smell, and the urn voice is angry: "I did it very well last time." ”
The doorman secretly curled the corners of his mouth, a little proud.
Wu Jin straightened up, knelt down again, and lowered his voice: "Staring at the King of Jiyang County." ”
"Yes."
After the two bowed, they stood up, and the doorman took the lead to leave, and Wu Jin stood in place, looking up at the Buddha.
The Buddha lowered his eyebrows, without sorrow or joy, and looked at the world with a merciless smile.
Wu Jin said in his heart: "What did the emperor use to replace Wang Yunsheng?" ”
The Buddha did not answer, but just looked at him empty-eyed, as if he wanted to save him from this red dust.
Behind the Buddha hall, a monk is reciting the scriptures: "In all confusion and demonic realms, liberation is achieved in the world." Just as a lotus flower does not touch water, and like the sun and the moon do not stay in the sky."
However, Wu Jin was deeply trapped in the red dust, made his own demonic obstacles, could not be liberated, and could not understand the meaning of detachment in the eyes of the Buddha, so he only walked out of the Luodeng Temple with full doubts.
Renting a sedan chair and returning home, he drank medicine and porridge, fell asleep groggy, and woke up sweating profusely, his clothes were soaked, and he was finally much more relaxed.
He asked the old servant to go out and buy hot water, soaked it hard, and felt more and more refreshing after wiping it clean.
The wind in the courtyard had cooled down, and he sat for a moment, got up and went to the study, rummaging through the bookcase for the Book of Jin.
The Book of Jin was pressed at the bottom, and when he pulled it out, he paused his hand and frowned at the book on the case.
Wrong.
"University" is a book he often reads, and when he puts it away, he will pull out some of it for easy access, but at this time, this book is the same as other books, neat and neat, even the gaps are straight.
Someone moved his bookcase.
The old servant never entered the study, and the old servant was illiterate, and there was no way to restore the way it was before.
There was a pair of eyes that were watching his every move in the dark.
His heart sank, and a layer of sweat immediately appeared on his body, which was still dry just now.
He quietly pulled out the "Book of Jin", took it to the courtyard and sat down, turned a page, and knew that the emperor was suspicious of the matter of Kuanzhou.
He pretended to read a book and drink medicine as if nothing had happened, and when it was dark, he drank a bowl of porridge and ate two sugar horns, and his condition improved quickly, but he began to cough.
In the sound of his cough, Kyoto restaurants, magnates, and merchants lit up in turn, and the Forbidden Palace was also lit up, illuminating a dreamlike Kyoto.
When pedestrians walk on the road, they are not illuminated by these high lights, only the oil lamps in the foot shop glow with a yellowish fire, which blurs the faces of pedestrians.
Wu Jin lit an oil lamp in the yard, used wormwood to drive away mosquitoes, sat in a chair and closed his eyes to recuperate, while enjoying the shade, he listened carefully to all the movements inside and outside the house.
Where are those eyes that peep in the dark?
Before he could find anything unusual, there was a knock at the door, and the voice was cowering and hesitating, as if the visitor's heart was also hesitating.
The old servant answered, swayed to open the door, opened the door, and when he opened the door, he saw the visitor bent over his waist, and he was dusty, and called "uncle", and looked into the room: "Brother Wu." ”
Wu Jin opened his eyes, got up and looked at the door: "Qi Chang, come in and sit." ”
Qi Chang was wearing a square scarf on his head, wearing a gray-blue straight jacket, the material was light and breathable, it seemed to be twisted, and it was worn on him, but it was not good and wrinkled together.
"Brother Wu," he carried two oiled paper bags, glanced left and right, as if he was afraid of being seen, and strode into the courtyard, straightened up as if relieved, and smiled flatteringly, "I heard that you are sick, come and see you." ”
He handed the oil paper bag to the old servant: "These are a few tonic medicines for boiling soup, you can let the next person put some when boiling the soup, it can nourish the body." ”
"Thank you," Wu Jin instructed the old servant to make tea, "sit down and talk." ”
