Qin Liu saw that he was in trouble, and said seriously: "Brother Xiu, you have to come up with a defensible reason, I can believe it, right?" There are more people with slender eyes and corners of their eyes all day......"

Yang Shen pondered for a while and said, "Before I left Beijing, I had a suspicion in my heart. ”

Qin Liu saw that he had not dispelled his doubts, so he encouraged: "You can talk about it." ”

Yang Shen said slowly: "In the seventeenth year of Hongzhi, my mentor Li Dongyang's family held a spring banquet on March 3 to look at his heir Li Zhaofan.

That should be your first meeting with the crown prince, but he said under the pseudonym Li Zong, the prince of Shouning Hou, and specially squeezed your words, saying that Liu Shoufu's family is known as a poor family, but the jewelry of the female dependents is very valuable, and finally he was attacked by the crowd and fled. ”

Qin Liu interjected curiously and asked, "That's right, why is the Liu family from a poor family and noble, and the jewelry of the female dependents is worth a lot of money?" ”

Yang Shen's eyes were strange and pitying, as if to say that she was really a poor stupid girl: "Your grandfather's family is the Peng family in Jiangxi, and there have been two cabinet ministers Peng Shi and Peng Hua, and the family is rich, and your mother's dowry is rich, most of them have come to you." ”

Qin Liu suddenly realized, and said a little embarrassedly: "You go on." ”

"My father is a lecturer in the East Palace, I have been famous since I was a child, and I have known the prince for a long time, so I wondered why he targeted you at that time.

Later, one of the Tartars you saved disappeared without a trace, and left a message for you to find him.

I accompanied you to the worship street in western Beijing to look for Tartars, and encountered Mongolian strongmen surrounding, some danger, I went to find the Jinyi guard who was doing business nearby to rescue.

At that time, the prince was serving in Jinyiwei as Zhang Zongshuo, and they had a second meeting. This time, the prince is still disrespectful to you, I only treat him as a child. This tartar was also captured by him for interrogation.

Later, I heard that this Tartar was a fine work, and brought back the news that Dayan Khan was going to form an alliance with the leader of Doyanwei and his relatives, but thanks to the timely delivery of this news, the court put pressure on Doyanwei, and finally Duoyanwei gave in to the court and gave up the matter of the alliance with Dayan Khan. ”

Qin Liu thought of what the little mute's twin sister, Princess Tululetu, said about the attempt to marry the leader of Uliangha, so he asked, "What is the relationship between this Yan Wei and Uliangha?" ”

"Uliangha is close to the three Mongolian tribes in Liaodong, and has always been a vassal to the Ming Dynasty, divided into three earth guards, namely Tainingwei, Duoyanwei, and Fuyuwei. Duoyanwei is the most powerful of the three guards of Wuliangha. ”

Qin Liu suddenly realized: Duo Yanwei is actually the representative of Wu Liangha's strength.

That's right, no wonder Princess Turuletu said that she wanted to thank herself for keeping her from marrying an old man, which was really her own credit.

Yang Shen continued: "Later, at the spring banquet in Xie Qiange's hometown in March of the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, Xie Ge's second son, Xie Pi, was twenty-three years old and the Tanhualang of high school, and you also went to the spring banquet.

At that time, I was in the attic with the crown prince and Zhu Yue of the Baoguo Mansion, and I happened to see you sitting on the railing of the water pavilion in a daze. The young lady of the Manshui Pavilion, he just criticized you again, saying that this woman of the Manshui Pavilion has no interest in the handsome and dashing Tanhualang, only you, I am afraid that you have already belonged. ”

Yang Shen paused and continued: "At that time, I argued with him and asked him not to talk about it and tarnish the reputation of the girl's family. But he said that Miss A Jiang didn't even have her little feet, how could she be a pedantic person who was afraid of a bad reputation?

I faintly felt that something was wrong in my heart, so when I returned home, I asked my father to go to Liu's mansion to propose marriage. It's just an attempt to propose marriage, but my father suddenly said that ten years ago he ordered a baby for me, and it was the daughter of a deceased head of the Ministry of Rites for many years, and asked me to study behind closed doors and not to be distracted. ”

Qin Liu's eyes widened, Yang Shen's words were too informative, and she couldn't believe it.

Seeing this, Yang Shen explained with a painful face: "At that time, I didn't even lift anyone, and it was rumored that Xie Tanhua was going to become the grandson-in-law of Liu Shoufu's family, but I was anxious but couldn't do anything...... It's only to blame that our Yang family has a small power in the court, and I personally have no talent and fame but no merit......"

Qin Liu asked a little excitedly: "Brother Yongxiu, you mean, you once wanted to marry me?" ”

Yang Shen looked at her sadly: "Ah Jiang, I have never forgotten you all these years. ”

Qin Liu saw the crystal tears in Yang Shen's eyes, and his eyes were red: "It's a pity that I didn't know it back then, and I was sad that no one came to mention my relatives." I thought in my heart, Brother Yongxiu and Cousin Guangsi are both bad people, they grew up together and played together, and when they saw that I didn't have anyone to ask for it, they didn't reach out to pull me. Could it be that because he didn't tie his little feet, he would end up in the old boudoir and lose the face of the Liu family......"

Yang Shen wiped the corners of his eyes and said with a smile: "Guangsi has no news since he returned to his hometown in Longxi, and the promise made by the three of us when we were separated at that time has not been fulfilled yet." ”

Qin Liu recalled the warm scene of the three children playing together in his memory, and a wave of regret welled up in his heart.

The three heartless friends each have their own life journeys, I don't know if the food-loving and smart Guangsi is the best?

Yang Shen quickly adjusted his mood and pulled the topic back: "Later, I didn't hear from you until October of the first year of Zhengde, your grandfather Liu Ge Lao Zhishi, Xie Qiange Lao Zhishi, I didn't know that you had been said to have died of illness." ”

Qin Liu also regained her composure, she thought for a while and said, "These things can't be judged, Erlang is the dragon species." ”

Yang Shen agreed: "No, I can't. But this timeline is too coincidental. The emperor got married in July of the first year of Zhengde, and you died of illness in October, Liu Ge Lao and Xie Ge Lao were determined to kill the Eight Tigers, which was equivalent to cutting off the emperor's right-hand man. In the end, the Eight Tigers won, Xie Ge Lao and the officials in their hometown Yuyao were all dismissed and not reused, and Liu Jin fell into the trap for your Liu family again and again. Father-in-law Zhang encouraged me like that a while ago. ”

Yang Shen suddenly changed the topic: "What is Erlang's birthday?" ”

Qin Liu said: "It should be March and April of the second year of Zhengde. ”

Yang Shen pinched his fingers and calculated: "The conception should be in June and July of the first year of Zhengde." So it makes sense. ”

Qin Liu was confused: "How can it make sense?" ”

Yang Shen said heavily: "Gonggong Zhang said that the emperor once said, 'But you have to be a one-hearted person, and the white head is not separated'. The emperor got married in July, and took two more concubines in August, but neither of them was close. This brocade guard has been looking for people for many years......"

Qin Liu pondered for a while and shook his head firmly: "If it is really as you said, Erlang is a dragon species, how can the emperor let me and Erlang wander away, and the day is not safe?" ”

Yang Shen said: "After the emperor ascended the throne, the court situation has been turbulent in the past few years, and he himself has a bad reputation for having fun......

Qin Liu's mood was a little heavy, the killings he had experienced when he first crossed over, and the bloodstained body of his cousin Liu Chengen and the sea of fire around him in his memory......
