Chapter 111: Liangshan One
Su Yan trotted all the way to the Nanhu Pavilion with chicken legs, only to see seasonal fruits on the dining table, and Ah Yan was thinking about teasing the birds. I can't help but sigh: In this academy, I still treat me the most!
In the afternoon, everything was silent, except for the sound of rain falling on the eaves.
Su Yan was next to Ah Yan, and gradually became sleepy.
"My lord, do you want to wake them up?" On the misty water corridor, Yan Sheng held an umbrella beside Zuo Qing and asked in a low voice.
"It's not raining, it's out of the way."
Yansheng thought that he was about to leave, but he turned around and walked towards the pavilion.
Zuo Qing untied his cloak and covered them for them, and when he saw the chicken bone in Su Yan's hand, he couldn't help but smile.
Yan Sheng said in his heart: "It's really a pair of people who have no fate, one keeps his mouth shut, when marriage is a child's play, and the other doesn't dare to mention it, alas... It's so depressing! I was feeling sorry for them, and suddenly I felt a sinking on my shoulders, and I subconsciously held up an umbrella to catch up.
Both of them returned to the Yanshan Courtyard with solemn expressions, stepped into the courtyard gate, and met the two plainclothes guards, Yansheng hurriedly greeted them, turned his face and smiled: The two adults have worked hard, my adults have prepared a table of banquets, please move the two. ”
The two guards looked at each other, and at the same time looked back at the people inside the door, only to hear a voice from inside: "Don't eat too much and make a mistake." ”
The guard arched his hand towards the door and left with Yansheng.
Zuo Qing opened the door and went in after tidying up his clothes, and met the prince standing at the head of the book, looking at him with a smile: "Sir, let the palace wait." ”
Zuo Qing replied respectfully: "Although Your Highness has waited for a long time, you have also drunk a lot of good tea from me, even if it is even." ”
"Since the beginning of Hongu's memory, only you dare to talk to Hongu like this."
"Your Highness listens too much to those words that are pleasing to your ears, and occasionally listens to those that are not pleasing to your ears, isn't it exciting?"
Wei Zixu smiled bitterly: "In the deep palace, flattery and flattery can be seen everywhere, but once you fall from a high position, those people will be the first to fall into the well!" Sir, can you understand the fear of Hongu? ”
How could Zuo Qing not know, but the fear of this prince is not what he has to worry about, and today, everything is just for exploitation.
"Back then, the position of the East Palace was vacant for several months, and the candidate in my father's heart was originally the third emperor's brother, but Murphy's words actually changed my father's mind! At the beginning, the qualifications of the three emperor brothers were far ahead among the princes, which shows how terrible Murphy's methods are! If it weren't for the palace's efforts to curry favor, it would be the puppet prince he cultivated who entered the East Palace today, and the future Rongguo would be his Rongguo! Wei Zixu smashed his fist on the bookcase, his eyes widened angrily, "This palace has bowed to him for three whole years, and it is not easy to get rid of him, and now he is fighting against the water, and he will eradicate the ink thief and clean up Kyoto!" ”
"His Royal Highness is brave and strategic, which is the luck of Rong Guo." Zuo Qing routinely praised and served tea.
Wei Zixu frowned, "Sir, this palace didn't come to listen to you say nice things, good words This palace has been listening to in the palace for more than ten years, what this palace wants to listen to is useful, key!" ”
Zuo Qing put the teacup on the bookcase, selected an ancient book from the bookshelf, flipped through it casually, walked to the tea case in the center, looked up at him, and asked clearly: "Your Highness's trip is for Liang Luan's business?" ”
Wei Zixu hurriedly stepped forward: "Liang Luan has fallen, and now almost all of the three provinces and six ministries are in the hands of Mr., when is Mr. going to do it?" ”
"It's not time yet."
Wei Zixu had long expected him to say this, and he also thought about how to deal with it: "Mr. is a steady person, and he will not make a move until he is foolproof, but this palace is difficult to sleep and eat these days, there are Murphy's ears and eyes in the front, and there are princes in the back, it is really miserable... It's better for Mr. to give Bengong a clear plan, and Bengong should make full preparations in advance. ”
How could Zuo Qing not know his thoughts, looking at the prince in front of him who was struggling in the court, he suddenly remembered Wei Zhen in his heart, they also played together and were brothers, but in the near future, they will inevitably go head-to-head, and the two will die!
Royal, that's it.
His eyes were cold: "Your Highness doesn't need to be in a hurry, now it's only a few steps away from success." ”
"Which steps?"
The person opposite raised the corners of his mouth, slowly sat down, turned around and brought the boiling teapot from behind the screen, and poured it for Wei Zixu, "Your Highness, don't worry, taste the tea you just arrived first." ”
Wei Zixu saw that he was so calm, and he was not in a hurry, so he gave a face to take a sip, there was no trace of bitterness between his lips and teeth, sliding into the stomach, and there was a trace of coolness, but now he was so anxious, where was there any leisure to taste tea, so he casually perfunctory: "Mr. This place is really extraordinary, even this tea is very special, I don't know where to find it?" This palace and let people go and find more, send it to Mr. Yu! ”
Although it is perfunctory, it is too much to tell lies to people, and perfunctory words are also very exquisite.
"It's just a special honeysuckle of Zhao Kingdom, its taste is sweet, cold, and the most suitable to drink in the hot summer, I also added lotus leaves and dandelion to it, strengthening the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, if Your Highness likes it, I will let people prepare it and send it to the East Palace."
Wei Zixu waved his hand and said, "No, these are not as good as a pot of chilled plum wine!" Only people like Mr. who are outside the world can calm down and taste it, and I, a layman, just want to be fresh. So modestly speaking, he raised his eyebrows, and still returned to the old topic: "I don't know what the steps that Mr. said, what are they?" ”
Zuo Qing leaned on a few loosely, and his face was unwavering: "The first step is to hold the soldiers." ”
Wei Zixu was confused when he heard it, "Please make it clear to Mr." ”
Zuo Qing said: "The officials continue to fall, Mo Fei should have been suspicious, His Royal Highness has been in and out of the academy several times, although he came in the name of supervising King Yao or visiting Su Yan, but it is also extremely attention-grabbing, how can Mo Fei not worry about it?" ”
"However, this palace has only been here no more than five times, and every time I come, I avoid eyeliner and pick the most remote way to visit Mr..."
"You have a special identity, even if you are careful, you can't escape the eyes of idle people, not to mention that His Highness betrayed Murphy's painstaking cultivation at the beginning, secretly enveloped people's hearts and cultivated dead soldiers, and tried his best to fight against him, and he has already become a thorn in his side. Now he must be staring at you, Your Highness, first, and once he has evidence of the conspiracy between you and me, Murphy will definitely ask Your Majesty for a copy! I don't want to see such a situation, so I ask Your Highness to guard your own place, not to go anywhere, not to do anything. ”
"That's... How can we deal with him if we all stand still?! He didn't understand Zuo Qing's intentions, and felt that he always had a deeper plan hidden.
Zuo Qing said: "If you don't move openly, it doesn't mean that you don't move secretly, so in this second step, I will send someone to Liangshan to collect evidence of his collaboration with the enemy and rebellion, and at the same time, I will hand over the evidence collected over the years to the six adults, and when all the evidence is concentrated, His Royal Highness will lead the civil and military officials to Yongle Hall to expose Mo Fei's evil deeds." But ten days before this, you and I have to deceive Murphy, don't do anything, as soon as the ten days arrive, His Royal Highness immediately recommends Murphy to His Majesty to go to Zhao. ”
"Why ten days?"
"My people traveled day and night, and it only took three days to reach Liangshan, but it took ten days to send the weapon spectrum to Zhao State."
"Weapon spectrum? Sir actually has this thing! The prince was shocked.
Zuo Qing said: "Naturally, it's fake, but whether it's true or not, it's true after it reaches Rongguo... The weapon spectrum reappears in the Zhao Kingdom, Your Majesty will definitely take it for yourself, I want you to recommend him to Your Majesty, so that my people and the six departments will have the opportunity to act separately. ”
Wei Zixu suddenly realized: "The weapon spectrum is reappeared, and my father will definitely get it at all costs, Mr. wants to transfer the tiger away from the mountain!" He thought about it for a while, and then felt that it was inappropriate, "It's just that Bengong has to change someone else to come out of this." ”
Zuo Qing's eyes raised slightly: "Who do you want to go?" ”
"King Yao has always had no quarrel with the world, and people who don't touch anywhere are the least suspicious."
"Hmm... It is indeed not suspicious that he would make a proposal. In this case, please go back to the East Palace and wait for my news, once Zhao Guo's side is in place, I will immediately send a letter to the palace, and you will act again. When Murphy leaves Rongguo, I will send someone to Liangshan to try to get the evidence before he returns! ”
"How does the gentleman enter the palace?"
"You have your own way."
The prince saw that he was confident, and it was not good to ask any more questions, so he bowed his head respectfully, and was about to get up, but suddenly he paused, raised his head and finally asked him: "Mr. really has no weapon spectrum?" ”
Zuo Qing said calmly: "The weapon spectrum is a treasure of the Xuan family of Zhao Guo, and its whereabouts are unknown on the day of the beheading, and no one has seen the original so far, let alone me?" ”
Wei Zixu had no doubt and left.
After Yan Sheng knelt down to see the prince leave, he immediately came in and whispered, "Wu Shang has appeared!" ”
Zuo Qing's face changed, and he hurriedly asked, "Where is it?" ”
"Yunlai Pavilion."
"What's going on?"
Yansheng sat down cross-legged and took a big sip of tea, "Hey, it's delicious, what condiments did you add this time?" ”
Zuo Qing couldn't cry or laugh, "Get down to business!" ”
"He, either he doesn't show up, and as soon as he appears, he brings a big box, and now he's sitting in the upper room, holding Mei Jiao Niang, drinking wine!"
Zuo Qing drank the tea with a solemn face, got up slowly, and instructed as he walked: "Inform the West Building, gather all the adults, and meet in the secret room tonight." ”
"Yes!"
The Yunlai Pavilion of Yingge Yan Dance was very deserted at this time, and the was leaning on the railing on the second floor alone, and when she saw him coming, she turned around and entered the door behind her, and Zuo Qing immediately followed.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw two unclothed women hugging the man on the bed, laughing and playing to enter the next step, the coughed loudly, and the two women sat up like an electric shock, rolled up their clothes and slipped away in a panic.
The man on the bed was extremely displeased, but he dared not speak out, so he simply covered the bed quilt and ignored no one.
Zuo Qing coughed slightly, moved to the dining table, and sat down with his back to him.
"Yo, I just walked away for a while, and I called my girl here, and this boy will enjoy it!" As she spoke, also sat down next to Zuo Qing and made him a cup of tea, but Zuo Qing never touched it.
"What news did you bring with you when you came here today?" Zuo Qing pinched the teacup, and the cold voice fell in the room, like a winter ice spring, cold to the bone.
When Wu Shang heard that this voice was wrong, he thought that he was mindful of his debauchery, but he slept in the open for a few months, and finally hugged the beautiful girl comfortably, but he was interrupted, how uncomfortable! After thinking about it, the left and right were also interrupted, it was better to give face, sat up lazily, and sighed painfully: "The master in charge is really incomprehensible, you should know that in the Qinglou, if you close the door, it must be doing a good deed, why bother me at this time!" Could it be that you haven't visited the Qinglou and never tasted the things of men and women? Seeing Zuo Qing turn around, his face was gloomy, and he immediately smiled: "Look at my broken mouth, I am talking nonsense!" You are busy with official business, how can you compare with us idlers... Don't you know, the girls here are more beautiful than the other, tsk! If you don't call two companions, I'm really sorry for my hard life in the past few months! ”
"How do you think you'll be able to find me when you come to Yunlai Pavilion?"
Wu Shang smiled slyly and said, "If you can check Murphy, you can naturally check you, the master in charge performed well that day, and the other two also cooperated well!" ”
"In this case, why bother to come to me to cooperate again, it is better to tell Murphy 1510, you can still get a great benefit."
"I'm greedy, but I don't do things that I'm not sure of, who is Mo Fei? He's a beast that eats people and doesn't spit out bones! If I really go to snitch, we won't both die! ”
Zuo Qing raised the corners of his mouth: "You're not stupid." As I said last time, you told me all about Murphy, and I turned a blind eye to you, and now it seems that I have to give you a great favor so that you don't waste the news you bring. ”
"It seems that the adults have guessed my mind."
"Otherwise, why did you go to the trouble of having someone inform me, it seems... Is it about gold mines? ”
Wu Shang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Zuo Qing is worthy of being Zuo Qing, and he is like a god!" He pulled out the box from the inner bed and opened it for him to see, "Back then, in order to cover up the location of the gold mine, Murphy forged the topographic map of Liangshan, so even His Majesty's is fake!" This, but I tried my best to copy it, fidelity! And all the information about the magistrates, I have gathered for you. ”
Zuo Qing and leaned over to take a closer look, and at the same time found a small square box, Zuo Qing asked, "What is this?" ”
"The head of the Liangshan County Order."
"Yikes! You bastard, you murder! The screamed, taking a few steps back.
Wu Shang slanted the corners of his mouth, "Don't pretend, you don't do less than me to lick blood on the knife edge." He ignored the embarrassed expression of the and continued to say to Zuo Qing, "Although there is this topographic map, Liangshan is complicated and there are many mountain ranges, and you have to find the final location of this gold mine yourself." I have already killed the county order, I believe that with your Zuo Qing's ability, it is enough to arrange your own people to replace you unconsciously, and then you should cooperate with the outside world, and you are afraid that you will not be able to find the location of the gold mine? He crossed his arms and thought for a moment, and then added: "Also, Liangshan must be familiar to you, it is located on the border, it is mixed, everyone has it, if you go, you have to be careful." ”
Zuo Qing's hand lightly patted the topographic map, squinting slightly, "There is nothing more dangerous than Ruoshui..."
Wei Zixu passed by Nanhu, but saw that King Yao was talking to someone, so he couldn't help but say something, and he also leaned over, because he knew that the person who was talking to him was none other than Su Yan.
"You've been running to the academy for the past three days, have you done all your homework?" Wei Zixu put on the appearance of a brother and asked Wei Yao.
When Wei Yao saw that it was the crown prince, he jumped up like an electric shock, and said with a smile: "Brother Huang, at my age, my homework stopped years ago." ”
"Then you can't neglect to study, you have to learn from Mr. Su, you see how hard people work, and don't forget to prepare for class in your spare time!"
Su Yan glanced at the strange ambitions brought by Wei Yao on the food table, hurriedly waved his hand secretly, let Ah Yu block it, and then smiled at the prince with an extremely dignified smile: "Your Highness, I'm just looking at it casually, where can I compare with the prince, the prince is talented, so naturally I don't have to work hard like me, but... It's not bad to try once in a while. As he spoke, he looked at Wei Yao meaningfully.
The prince nodded approvingly, and urged Wei Yao again: "You have always been idle, but you can't be so casual, fall into the eyes of others, and you should buckle the hat of the loser of the royal family, and then see how your father punishes you!" ”
Wei Yao shrunk his neck and hid to the side not daring to squeak.
Su Yan asked in surprise: "What does Your Highness mean that the prince has been deducted more than once?" ”
The prince suddenly became interested: "This can be traced back to five years ago, when Wei Yao first broke into trouble, he ripped off Zhongshuling's pants, and was chased by the prince for half of the palace, and finally his father locked him up for three days. The second time he broke into trouble was during the Shangyuan Festival four years ago, when he set fire to the south gate, was locked up for ten days, and copied the Diamond Sutra a hundred times; On the night of the New Year's celebration three years ago, he didn't keep the New Year's Eve well, but he went to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War, and when he was caught, he was still holding a broken weapon in his hand, and he was personally carried back by his father and locked up for ten days......"
"That's not a broken weapon, it's the Qingying Sword that my father promised to give me..."Wei Yao said weakly.
The prince looked helpless: "The Qingying Sword has long been broken on the battlefield, what my father promised you is an imitation, and what is in the arsenal is a genuine product that is ready to be repaired, and you dare to steal it?" Father has spoiled you! And this time this year, you openly insulted the former servant, even if you insulted, you actually insulted outside the Yongle Palace, so many officials were present at that time, you really lost the face of the royal family! ”
Wei Yao still wanted to argue, but the prince glared, and he immediately fell silent. The prince sighed: "Trouble again and again, do some unserious things, aren't you a loser of the royal family!" If it weren't for your father's favor and the palace's protection of you, how could you be so relaxed today! You hurry back and think about how to be a competent courtier, don't lose face to your father again. ”
Su Yanqiang couldn't help but laugh: "You can't blame the prince all, he is still young after all..."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Wei Yao's hippie smile should be harmonious.
"Yes, yes, yes! If it weren't for the palace going to you this time, I didn't know you were here, and I saw if I would be able to cure you well when I went back! Let's go, go back with Hongu! ”
Wei Yao's face turned white, and he asked tremblingly: "Punishment or Zamabu?" ”
The prince sneered: "It depends on the mood." With that, he shook his sleeves and walked away.
Wei Yao looked at Su Yan in embarrassment, and could only obediently follow.
Su Yan sighed: "Poor, pitiful, Wei Yao also has today!" ”
Ah Yu also cried out for him: "The prince is just here to visit Mr., why is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince so strict." ”
"It's not, tsk, this book of Jianghu Zhiwei can hurt him, I don't know what punishment he will suffer when he goes back, you say, next time he comes over, should I make up for it?"
"It's not Mr. on purpose, the book that the prince brought himself, I can't blame you!"
"It's too!" Su Yan flipped the folded cloak in his hand, and suddenly fell into deep thought: Obviously he cares about himself, why do he still push it away? Since it's pushed away, why bother to provoke it again?
"Why are you so distracted? Beware of plunging headlong into the lake. "Follow the sound, the west building is coming, with the breeze and drizzle, and the son is like jade.
Su Yan came back to his senses and quietly handed the cloak to Ah Yan, "I just fell asleep for a while, and then I woke up, so naturally I was sleepy-eyed and my eyes were foggy." ”
"If you have a bed and don't sleep in the gazebo, are you stunned?" As he spoke, he looked at Su Yan closely, as if he really saw some symptoms.
"What's crazy, didn't I just take a nap, as for being so tricky and mean!"
Xilou stared at the cloak hidden behind Ah Yan, and his expression immediately changed sharply. Seeing that the situation was serious, Su Yan hurriedly hinted at Ah Yu to leave, and then said with a smile: "You were also infected by me?" ”
Nishilou did not stop to go to Ah Yu to confirm the owner of the cloak, and as he passed by, he caught a glimpse of a piece of cloth exposed, which was the finest brocade in Kyoto, something only found by Murphy...... He grinned and said, "Maybe, you are so attractive, naturally you can't resist." ”
Su Yan's face turned red, and he hurriedly lowered his head and muttered in a low voice: "It's really shameless!" ”
"Shameless?" He leaned in again and whispered, "You haven't seen what it means to be shameless!" ”
As he spoke, his hand was around her waist, Su Yan trembled, her lips and teeth were intertwined, she was full of uneasiness and anxiety, standing still, at the mercy of her.
He seemed to feel her strangeness, paused slightly, and wandered away from the tip of her nose: "Don't be afraid, I just want to tell you that I have always had only you in my heart, whether it was before or in the future, I just want to marry you." ”
He held her face in the palm of his hand and kissed it carefully, Su Yan felt a trace of coldness on his face, and when he reached out to touch it, Xilou suddenly let go and turned to leave.
It was tears, and he... Why are you crying? Is it because I found out that Zuo Qing has been here? What did he mean by that?
Su Yan felt a splitting headache, stretched out her hand to hold the stone pillar, and her mind was spinning, Zuo Qing's face and Xilou's face crossed together and impacted her, wanting to tear her apart.
