Chapter 25 The ideal is plump, but the reality is skinny
This Dayan Heavenly Son Zhou Shengxian is not a living master. I didn't stay well in the imperial city, and I actually visited Shangshu Mansion on a rainy day and night. I saw him wearing a eunuch's costume and holding a paper umbrella waiting at the door of Shangshu Mansion.
After the steward opened the door, he saw a pretty little eunuch standing outside, and hurriedly greeted him.
"This little errand officer, why did you come to my Shangshu Mansion?"
"I was ordered to ask Lord Shangshu, and I hope that the chief steward will help spread the word. Zhou Shengxian learned the tone of a eunuch and spoke with his hands, but he kept his head down and didn't dare to see anyone.
The old steward curiously glanced at the little eunuch who was holding an umbrella but was drenched, muttered in his heart, and invited him into the house.
"It's windy and rainy outside, so the official is still invited to enter the mansion first, and I will inform Lord Shangshu. The old steward led Zhou Shengxian into the mansion, invited him to sit in the main hall, and went to invite Lord Shangshu himself.
Wu Xuansheng heard that a little eunuch had come to the mansion to announce the summons, and he wondered in his heart, could it be that His Majesty the Son of Heaven had encountered something urgent.
He glanced at the steward.
The old steward was well-informed, and he had long since discovered that the eunuch's identity was suspicious. His mind was lively, so he said to Wu Xuansheng: "If you have seen it, you will know, I will make arrangements." ”
Wu Xuansheng found out in the main hall that it was Zhou Shengxian, the son of Dayan Heaven, who paid a private visit on a rainy night, and was taken aback, and was about to perform the courtesy of the monarch and minister.
Zhou Shengxian glanced at Wu Xuansheng, hurriedly hugged Wu Xuansheng, and whispered in his ear, "Don't reveal my identity." ”
Wu Xuansheng suddenly came to his senses, so he invited Zhou Shengxian into the study to talk, and instructed the steward to tell the other people in the house not to approach the study at will.
After entering the study, Wu Xuansheng glanced around vigilantly, and once again instructed the steward to ask Zheng Xipo to inspect inside and outside the mansion to see if there were any suspicious people. Seeing that Wu Xuansheng was so cautious, the steward knew that the person who came was not a small person, so he took the order.
"The layout of Shangshu Mansion is still fresh and elegant, and the furnishings are not extravagant and luxurious. Zhou Shengxian said jokingly.
Wu Xuansheng thanked the Son of Dayan for his praise.
Zhou Shengxian helped Wu Xuansheng up and told him that he didn't need to make this big gift when he met in private, if he was more strict about etiquette, he would immediately rush out of the door.
Wu Xuansheng smiled embarrassedly, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty can send someone to spread the word, Wu Mou rushed to the imperial city overnight, why do you need to come in person!"
"There are not many caring people inside and outside this imperial city, so they have to do it as a last resort. Zhou Shengxian sighed and said.
The parents of Zhou Shengxian, the son of Dayan, went early, and the uncle of Zongmiao was divided into seals, and the uncle of the country slowly ignored the government because of his advanced age and several widows...... At this time, there was almost no one available inside and outside the court, and he really became a loner.
Wu Xuansheng saw Zhou Shengxian slowly approaching the elm table. There was an oil lamp lit on the desk, and beside the oil lamp lay several books that had been worn out. On the right is an inkstone and a bald brush.
Zhou Shengxian picked up the book casually, glanced at the display on the table again, and did not speak.
Wu Xuansheng opened his mouth and said: "Failing to help Your Majesty solve problems is really the crime of Weichen. ”
Zhou Shengxian waved his hand and said, "Wu Shangshu has done well enough. He slowly put down the book in his hand, picked up the brush with his hand, and picked the lamp grass with the end of the pen, and the light in the room became slightly brighter. He opened his mouth again and asked: "Wu Shangshu has ever heard that today's prime minister is furious, and he is chasing a knife on the street, wanting to get rid of it quickly?"
"Even Your Majesty was shocked, how could Weichen not know it!" Wu Xuansheng said: "It's just a drama directed and acted by the Prime Minister, and it can't be taken seriously." ”
Zhou Shengxian smiled bitterly: "With such an opponent, it is not lonely. ”
"Your Majesty won't come to the Humble House just to verify the truth of this matter, right?"
"Of course not. Zhou Shengxian said: "A Yan Zhongan has exhausted me to deal with, and soon, there will be another Lu Xun, how can I be good?"
Wu Xuansheng asked, "Grand Duke Lu Xun, isn't this person far away from the Yuanjia Empire?"
Zhou Shengxian glanced at Wu Xuansheng and said, "The return date has arrived, and I will return to Beijing soon." ”
"When the queen mother was alive, the power of the bird trapping house was not fully controlled by her, because of the existence of this Lu Xun. Zhou Shengxian looked confused and looked at Wu Xuansheng blankly, "That's why I will venture out of the imperial city and tell Mr. Wu the news." ”
Wu Xuansheng nodded, it seems that the situation in Jingshi is getting more and more complicated.
The Prime Minister Yan Zhong'an raised the knife today, in order to calm the accusations of the people in Beijing, and also to declare war on the behind-the-scenes forces that guide the trend of rumors.
The information about the Bird Trap is one of the top secrets of the Dayan Empire, and only a few people have permission to know it. If it weren't for the mention of Dayan Tianzi, Wu Xuansheng wouldn't have known that the Grand Duke Guild who went to Yuanjia would have this ability, and he would actually be able to put his hand into the bird trapping room.
Lu Xun's return has injected some uncertainties into the situation in Beijing. You must know that this Lu Xun is a figure who can wrestle with the deceased Queen Dayan.
The situation in Jingshi is like a puddle of muddy water. Only those who have the ability can touch the fish, and these high-rollers are gambling on their lives.
Zhou Shengxian's every move was under the watchful eye of all forces, and he was seen inside and out. He felt like a fisherman going out to sea in a small boat, ready to die at any moment. The appearance of Wu Xuansheng was like a lighthouse in the boundless sea. All he had to do was sail in the direction of the lighthouse and he would be able to go ashore.
Zhou Shengxian had no choice. He waited in every possible way, and finally seized the opportunity to get rid of the surveillance and find the little eunuch who grew up with him. With his help, they changed into a eunuch suit and sneaked out of the imperial city together.
At this moment, there is no trace of the Son of Heaven in the imperial city, but I am afraid that it has become a pot of porridge now.
Soon, it should also be possible to quickly find out who assisted Zhou Shengxian to slip out of the imperial city.
At that time, there will be another bloody storm.
Although the little eunuch has been by Zhou Shengxian's side since he was a child, at this moment, he can only be ruthless, gritting his teeth and saying sorry to the little eunuch.
After leaving the imperial city, Zhou Shengxian quietly took out the short knife that had been hidden in his sleeve, and took advantage of the little eunuch's defenselessness to insert the knife into the little eunuch's chest without hesitation.
The moment he saw the blood, although his body was drenched in heavy rain, Zhou Shengxian felt that his whole body was burning, and he could barely control the anger in his hands and chest......
The little eunuch knew his fate the moment Zhou Shengxian asked for his help, and he couldn't come back from the imperial city this time.
Before the little eunuch died, he smiled and said to Zhou Shengxian: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving you ...... death."
Zhou Shengxian was laughing, but his hands were trembling in the rain...... He understood the meaning of the little eunuch's words, it would always be better to die at his own hands than to die in prison.
"The matter of forming Shangshu Pavilion is urgent. We have to do it immediately!" Zhou Shengxian said: "I can just borrow the east wind of the four major academies to enter the Beijing Division. ”
Wu Xuansheng laughed and said, "That's exactly what I mean." However, this matter should not be too publicized, lest it arouse the disgust of the great minister. ”
"The formation of Shangshu Pavilion is to fight against the Shumi Academy, and I also ask Mr. Wu to speak for the people of the world!" After saying that, Zhou Shengxian bowed deeply to Wu Xuansheng.
Wu Xuansheng hurriedly said that he couldn't afford it, but he was extremely moved in his heart. Zhou Shengxian, the son of Dayan, does have great ambitions and has the potential to become a generation of Ming Jun, but unfortunately some things are involuntary and difficult step by step.
The purpose of Zhou Shengxian's trip is very clear, he needs a help, and Wu Xuansheng is the person he likes. There are many secret mentions about the establishment of Shangshu Pavilion, and tonight's visit is just to implement the plan in advance.
Wu Xuansheng pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that we have to invite Kong Lao to come out!"
Zhou Shengxian pondered for a moment when he heard this, gave a thumbs up to Wu Xuansheng, and said, "Wonderful." As for how to implement the plan, please put more thought into it. ”
Wu Xuansheng replied: "This is a matter of duty. ”
Zhou Shengxian got up and pushed open the window, the wind and rain were still outside, and the lightning and thunder were roaring......
The trees in the courtyard are swaying in the wind and rain, and they can overturn at any time. The rain on the ground is like a lake, and there are many deep pits and culverts hidden under the surface of the water. Under the firelight, you can't see it really, only the sound of hooting in your ears.
Under the eaves on the opposite side, a pair of young men and girls walked by with lanterns. The two laughed and joked with each other.
Zhou Shengxian looked at the figures of the two and couldn't help but froze...... He remembered a lot of things, and he also remembered the little eunuch......
Wu Xuansheng approached and closed the window, and said that it was raining heavily outside.
Zhou Shengxian slowly came back to his senses and asked Wu Xuansheng, "Isn't that pair of young men and women the sons and daughters of Mr.?"
Wu Xuansheng smiled awkwardly and replied, "Yuchen hasn't married a wife yet, where did he come from?" ”
Zhou Shengxian slapped his head hard, and hurriedly said, "I actually forgot about this stubble." Mr. Wu, it seems that I still have to ask Uncle Guo to come out and order a family affair for you!"
Wu Xuansheng hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." ”
......
Jian Shuzhi and Wen Wan sent medicinal soup to the fat man, and the fat man lay on the bed and couldn't move.
Wen Wan saw the fat man's current appearance, and couldn't help but think of his lively appearance, and couldn't help but sigh and said: "This Kyoto Four Young People are too unreasonable, hurting people like this!"
Jian Shuzhi blew on the medicine spoon, waited for the medicine soup to cool and slowly sent it to the fat man's mouth, and said, "Then what else can I do? Even if you win the battle, the younger one will come to the door, what if the old one comes to the door?"
Whose son is Yan Zhiping, and whose son is Xun Zi? Except for Jian Shuzhi and Little Fat Man, two foreign birds, who don't know them, I'm afraid no one in the Jingshi will not know them. What's more, Xunzi's Laozi is an extremely protective lord, and only the prime minister Yan Zhong'an can live in the capital division. Such a reality, how helpless!
Wen Wan pursed her lips and smiled, and asked, "Do you regret it now?"
The fat man can't get out of bed and walk, and he can't open his mouth when his body hurts. He heard the gentle question in a daze, and his finger did not obey the call and stretched out a middle finger, indicating that he had absolutely no regrets.
Seeing this, Jian Shuzhi slapped it down. "If you don't speak, no one will treat you like a dead person. ”
Jian Shuzhi said angrily: "Open your mouth!" Of course, the reason why he was angry was not because the fat man was inappropriately comparing his middle finger, but because he was angry with himself. If you have a little ability, you won't get the fat man injured.
The ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny.
He was born in such a world that he could hardly change it.
