Chapter 69: The Undercurrent Surging (I)
When Tianhuo left the Funing Palace, it was already midnight, and the imperial city had been completely closed at this time, even with Wang Jien's power in Da Nei, he did not dare to order someone to open the door and let Tianhuo go out.
Therefore, Wang Jien arranged Tianhuo in the squad room of the palace guards, and specially asked the guards to vacate a single room for him, so that he could have a good rest.
When Emperor Song was talking to Tianhuo, Wang Jien asked people to arrange accommodation, and he specially asked people to change Tianhuo into clean bedding, and lit incense in the house to remove the smell.
By the time the fire arrived, the room had basically met the accommodation conditions.
Wang Jien smelled the faint smell of sweat on the guards in the house, and frowned slightly, but he couldn't find a more suitable place for Tianhuo to stay for a while.
He smiled and said: "Lord Tian, you first grieve here for one night, and tomorrow morning the palace door opens, and I will ask Li Chunyu to send you out of the palace." ”
Tianhuo hurriedly said: "Manager Wang, you don't have to be so polite to me, just call me Tianhuo, I'm just like your nephew, don't you call me an adult to torment the boy?"
Wang Jien sighed secretly in his heart: "Do you think I want to be called? You have only been chatting with the emperor for most of the hour, and the emperor is commensurate with Aiqing, and you also regard yourself as a courtier, do I dare to put up a fight with you? ”
Wang Jien lowered his voice and said: "Tianhuo, our family knows that you are modest and polite, but don't mention the words of your uncle and nephew just now, our family really can't afford it." ”
Tianhuo said: "Manager Wang, the little nephew really feels your concern and love for me, and it is definitely not to cling to you, please don't misunderstand what I mean." ”
Wang Jien wanted to dissuade Tianhuo, but when he saw Tianhuo take a step back, he bowed deeply and said: "Please Uncle Wang, for the sake of the boy's sincere heart, accept my worship, if Uncle Wang feels inconvenient, the boy will only call you Uncle when there is no one, and it is better to call you a colleague at ordinary times." ”
Wang Jien has seen people who cling to him and people who despise him in his life, but there are not many people who treat him equally.
Thinking that he has taken in countless sons and grandsons in the palace, and how many of them are sincere to themselves, don't they all want to use their power to advance to the next level?
And the young man in front of him didn't have to cling to himself at all, but he could treat him politely, which really touched him.
Wang Jien hurriedly stepped forward to help Tianhuo and said: "Okay, since the virtuous nephew is sincere, it is inconvenient for the uncle to refuse, and the uncle in this imperial city also has some right to speak, if the virtuous nephew has any difficulties, just open your mouth, and the uncle will try his best to help you resolve it." ”
Tianhuo raised his head and looked at Wang Jien's old face, grabbed Wang Jien's hand with his backhand and said: "Uncle Wang, the future of the little nephew is to be fought for with his own hands, I hope that there is no place to ask for the uncle in this life, I only hope that the uncle is safe and healthy, and he has the opportunity to go out of the palace to live in this life." ”
Tianhuo's words actually made Wang Jien's nose sour, once upon a time Wang Jien also had this idea, but since Emperor Song ascended the throne, he has never been able to shake this thought, and he has never wavered for two thousand years, but today he was moved by Tianhuo's few plain words.
Wang Jien choked up a little and said, "Virtuous nephew, it's not early, you should rest early." ”
"Uncle Wang, take care of your health, the emperor can't do without you, and the Song Kingdom also needs you!"
Wang Jien, who was about to step out of the room, paused, let out a hum from his nose, and then walked out quickly and disappeared into the night.
Seeing Chief Manager Wang hurriedly leaving, the palace guards were very curious about this young man, it was not easy for the young man who could let Chief Manager Wang personally arrange accommodation, so no one dared to harass Tianhuo.
Tianhuo was still full of doubts, but the newly changed bedding was abnormally warm, there was a smell of sunshine, and the incense in the palace had a calming effect, and Tianhuo, who had been busy for a day, fell asleep unconsciously.
Tianhuo slept soundly this night, and when he woke up, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
Tianhuo hadn't slept so late for many years, he jumped up and stood on the bed for a long time before realizing that this was the palace, he didn't expect that he could sleep so soundly in the extremely dangerous palace.
Tianhuo quickly put on his coat, and at this time, the guards outside heard the noise in the house, knocked on the door and came in, and brought him green salt, face wash and breakfast, and a guard dressed as a leader also asked deliberately: "Tiangongzi, you are awake, Father-in-law Li Chunyu has already come to ask you a few times." ”
Tianhuo's face turned red and said: "I've been a little sleepy recently, so that the big brother of the guard can laugh, I'll clean up immediately, please tell Gonggong Li." ”
The leader of the guards promised to let Tianhuo use it slowly.
The leader of the guards who went out secretly thought in his heart: "This Tianhuo Gongzi, I don't know what his identity is, at night it was the chief manager Wang who personally sent him to bed, and in the morning, it was Gonggong Li who was going to be promoted in the near future to pick him up in person, and he dared to let Gonggong Li wait for him outside, so he had to look at it longer in the future and record the appearance of this nobleman." ”
Tianhuo washed up very quickly, he didn't have time to taste the food in the palace, he finished breakfast in three or two bites, and the skills of the imperial chef were not better than the skills of the eighth senior brother.
When Tianhuo opened the door and was about to go out, he found that Li Chunyu was standing at the door and was about to knock on the door, Tianhuo smiled and said, "Brother Chunyu, I'm sorry to keep you waiting." ”
Li Chunyu was more enthusiastic than yesterday, he was called by the ancestor early this morning, the ancestor told him that he had been nominated to take over as the fourth in command of the Bingbi Division, just waiting for the emperor to speak, Li Chunyu's heart was full of joy, and the sound of gratitude was about to knock through the floor tiles.
The first errand given to him by the ancestor was to urge Tianhuo to submit a policy before he took office, if the content of Tianhuo's policy could be appreciated by the emperor, the appointment would be nine out of ten.
In addition, the ancestor asked Li Chunyu to have a good relationship with Tianhuo in the future, and his words revealed that Tianhuo's future future was unlimited, and Li Chunyu naturally understood that the meaning of the ancestor was to serve this master well in the future.
So the morning fire made him wait for so long, he was not angry at all, and he could make friends sincerely when others had not yet made a fortune, and the relationship established in this way was the most sincere.
Li Chunyu said with a smile on his face: "Did Brother Tianhuo sleep well yesterday?"
Tianhuo was embarrassed and said: "I haven't slept so solidly for a long time, I don't know why I can sleep so solidly in the palace, my little brother is a little embarrassed." ”
"Brother, this shows that you have a relationship with the palace, you are young and talented, and it is unknown that you will be able to enter and exit the palace gate at any time in the future, brother, I will climb more of your high branches in the future. ”
"Brother said that I laughed, I can't stay in the Great Inner Forbidden Land for a long time, so I can leave the palace now, right?"
Li Chunyu turned sideways and said: "Brother, I am here to send you out of the palace, there are big rules in the palace and there are many women, you can't walk around when you are young, otherwise you will be killed." ”
Tianhuo naturally knew the rules, and followed Li Chunyu along the narrow alley to the outside of the palace.
"Brother Tianhuo, just now the old ancestor told me that you want to write a strategy and hand it to the emperor, I don't know when it will be completed, I see that the old ancestor is in a hurry. ”
Tianhuo knew that Emperor Song was in a hurry to see it, so he counted the days and said: "Today is the 23rd, and on the 28th, you go to the Xuanji Branch of Yuhua Lane in the outer city to find me, and then there are still a few pills to give to my brother to assist Zhuji Dan, and the probability of taking them together to advance is higher and the effect is better." ”
Li Chunyu nodded again and again, and said secretly: "Don't say that the emperor and the old ancestor think that Tianhuo will become a great weapon in the future, even I can see that with his talent, mind and personality, everyone is willing to make friends with him, and everyone is willing to help him!"
Li Chunyu rubbed his hands and said, "Brother, you are so polite, I'm embarrassed to be a brother." ”
Tianhuo stretched out his hand and patted Li Chunyu's shoulder and said, "Brother, it's polite for you to say that, if you have any need for pills in the future, just ask, you are indispensable in the brother's store." ”
Li Chunyu stopped and said, "Brother, you are so good to me, but my brother is just an ordinary eunuch in the palace, what should I do if I can't repay you?"
Tianhuo also stopped and said sincerely: "People interact with each other, the most important thing is sincerity, as the saying goes, people gather with wealth, wealth goes to people scatter, if I have a plan, I can completely go to others, since I have a relationship with my brother, I hope to treat each other with sincerity, friendship is long, don't talk about the return in the future, okay?"
Li Chunyu nodded and said: "Brother's heartfelt words, my brother has taken it to heart, and he will never say it again in the future, and he will not let the brother's friendship be in vain." ”
The two didn't say more, and walked silently outside the palace, just walking out of the long alleyway, about to walk in the direction of the palace gate, suddenly a palace maid stopped the two of them.
This palace maid was no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, petite and lovely, very beautiful, and rushed out of another sideways alleyway, startling Tianhuo and Li Chunyu.
Of course, Tianhuo didn't know this palace maid, but Li Chunyu took a step forward, and said with a smile on his face: "Sister Xiaoli, how can you have time to go out today?
Xiaoli glanced at Li Chunyu contemptuously, and did not answer his words, but said to Tianhuo: "You are that Tianhuo, right?"
Tianhuo looked at the palace maid Xiaoli in surprise and said, "It's Tianhuo below, I don't know what the girl is looking for me?"
The palace maid Xiaoli stepped forward and grabbed Tianhuo's arm and pulled it into the side alley, and said as she pulled it: "It's you, come with me, Niangniang has something to summon you." ”
Tianhuo was very surprised, but he was not afraid, but he made a panicked expression and turned back to Li Chunyu and shouted: "Father-in-law Li, why is this? Father-in-law Li, save me!"
Li Chunyu was so frightened that her hands and feet were cold, this Xiaoli was the personal maid of the queen's mother, although her grade was not high, but as long as she appeared, she must have been assigned by the queen's mother, so on weekdays, the eunuchs and female officials in the palace will give her some face.
But today is different, Tianhuo is a foreign minister, young and beautiful, if the blue sky and white earth just enter Huayang Palace, who can say clearly, the ancestor has to cut off his own head.
Li Chunyu roared, fought to catch up, and copied in front of Xiaoli and Tianhuo in three steps, stretched out his arms to stop the two, and lowered his voice and roared: "Xiaoli, are you crazy?
Xiaoli was also taken aback by Li Chunyu, and said with a slight annoyance: "Li Chunyu, are you crazy? Dare to yell at me like this? You dare to stop what Niangniang asks you to do!"
Li Chunyu was so anxious that his face was a little distorted, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Xiaoli, you led a young man into Huayang Palace in broad daylight, can you still say it clearly? If the emperor knows, not only will you and I definitely die, but Niangniang will also be in great trouble!"
