Chapter 59: The Smoke and Willows of the Old Garden (2)
Haoxing Mingrui seemed to feel that something was wrong at this time, frowned at Leng Yiqing, whose face was gloomy, and asked, "Lord Leng, what's wrong?"
Leng Yi suddenly came to his senses, staring sharply at Haoxing Mingrui with a look of concern on his face, although he believed that he had been deliberately playing tricks on himself, he was suffering from the fact that he could not openly admit his relationship with the so-called Flower Lady, and of course he had no position to question his intentions. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"It turns out that the old man that the prince has been thinking about is actually the wife of Hua Fengshan, which is really too unexpected, too unexpected......"
Hearing Leng Yiqing's deliberately aggravated word "missing", Haoxing Mingrui not only didn't care, but even showed a look of remembrance, and sighed: "Such an elegant, intelligent, beautiful woman is rare to see in the world! I remember that in the past, whenever I sat opposite her in the willow garden and talked about the wine, she was full of words and witty words, which was really a very happy thing in my life. β
The more Leng Yiqing listened to it, the more unpleasant it was in his heart, and he couldn't help but say with a thorn in his words: "It turns out that the person the prince likes is someone else's wife, no wonder the entire back house of Prince Ding's mansion is empty!"
Haoxing Mingrui laughed when he heard this, "I and Mrs. Nahua are just old friends, and we don't have any relationship between men and women." It's just because this king has always had a favorite person in his heart, and it has never changed over the years. Don't say that the entire back house is empty, even the tomb of this king in the future will be half empty for her!"
"The prince's sincere feelings are really touching. It's just that Leng heard that the prince has been recuperating in the mansion for many years, but I don't know how you got to know this lady Hua?" Leng Yiqing looked at the other party very calmly, but in his heart he wanted to tear off his mask immediately!
Haoxing Mingrui seemed to be asked all of a sudden, and was stunned for a moment, before he smiled and asked, "Why is Lord Leng so concerned about the affairs of this flower lady?
Leng Yiqing smiled slightly, and said: "I have heard the prince mention this extraordinary woman to me many times, Leng has never known her, and now he can't help but feel that he seems to have a relationship with her, so he can't help but want to know some of the past between the prince and this strange woman." If there is anything abrupt and presumptuous, please also ask Wang Ye Haihan. β
Although these words were politely said, they clearly revealed the meaning of persistence.
Haoxing Mingrui frowned slightly, and said slowly: "A few months ago, Lord Leng once generously addressed this king in the willow garden, and those words of worrying about the country and the people were really deafening. This king came today, firstly, to congratulate the Zuo Xiang on the completion of the new garden, and secondly, to listen to some more words of Xingbang that the Zuo Prime Minister did not dare to say above the court. As for the old things of this king, compared with the current crisis of Dayu, they are as worthless as child's play. It's just that since Lord Leng asked, it is inconvenient for this king to refuse, because that old incident is somewhat related to what Lord Leng said that day. Therefore, before telling about that old story, this king has a very important question that I would like to ask the Zuo Xiangβ"
Speaking of this, Haoxing Mingrui paused deliberately, then looked at Leng Yiqing with blazing eyes, and asked, "I don't know what Lord Leng thinks of the emperor's treatment of the hidden people?"
Leng Yiqing knew that the other party began to repeat the old trick again, first confusing him with old things, and then single-handedly provoking a sensitive topic, while observing his real reaction. It's just enough to use it once, and it would be ridiculous and hateful to take it out and use it on him again! Is he a fool who is stupid enough to make the same mistake over and over again in their eyes?
"Did the prince ask this question on behalf of the emperor?"
"On the issue of the hermits, the emperor doesn't care what anyone thinks. β
Leng understood. β
Although Leng Yiqing still had a smile on his face, he was gritting his teeth in his heart, you shameless fake dared to put a green hat on me with just a few words, if you don't peel off all your disguises today, so that you no longer have the shame to call yourself a bullshit prince, I Leng Yiqing will completely admit it!
"Speaking of the hidden people, the only thing Leng can think of is Haoxing Xiaoyin, who was killed in the imperial city by the prince for rebellion. Since then, he has ascended the throne and issued a decree to exterminate the hermits in Dayu. Therefore, in the eyes of the world, the prince's attitude towards the hermit people should be no different from that of the emperor. Now the prince suddenly asked Leng about it, and he didn't know what he wanted?"
Haoxing Mingrui smiled indifferently and said, "Lord Leng doesn't have to worry too much, this king has already said that this matter is somewhat related to Mrs. Hua's matter, so I want to hear your thoughts first." β
"I have made it clear that day that the disadvantages of the local government's hunting and killing of the hermits, but the prince still needs to ask this question today, in Leng Mou's opinion, the person who is worried should be the prince!" Because there was some anger in his heart, the cold words could not help but become a little sharper.
"In this way, it is this king who is too worried!" Haoxing Mingrui smiled slightly apologetically, "It's just that the stakes are high, although this king has complete trust in Lord Leng, but the matter involves the law of the court, and it is also related to the lives of many people, so this king has to be more cautious." β
When Leng Yiqing heard this, his face couldn't help but change slightly, and finally thought of what the other party might be referring to, and suddenly panicked in his heart, hesitating whether he should stop him from continuing, but unfortunately it was too late at this time.
"Madame Hua is a hermit. Haoxing Mingrui straightforwardly told this secret that had been hidden for many years in front of Leng Yiqing.
Leng Yiqing suddenly felt that there was no need for him to make a surprised expression to show the other party, because since he already knew Fang Yin's biggest secret, then he should also be clear about his relationship with Fang Yin.
Twenty years ago, when Hua Fengshan passed through Huizhou, he rescued a young woman who had passed out on the side of the road. After the woman came to her senses, she told Hua Fengshan that she was a hermit and that she was being tracked down by the local government. In order to save her and the life of the child in her womb, Hua Fengshan decided to take her back to the capital for treatment.
Hua Fengshan and I were old acquaintances, so after he returned to the capital, he sent the woman to my mansion to hide. Later, the woman gave birth to a baby safely, but her body never fully recovered, so I left her in the house to recuperate. One is to protect her, and the other is to protect the child who is easily recognized as a recluse. In this way, she lived in my house for two years, but unfortunately she died of illness in the end. β
"It turns out that this woman is just a husband and wife with Hua Fengshan, but in fact, she is not the real Mrs. Hua!" Leng Yiqing's tone was obviously much more relaxed.
Haoxing Mingrui's eyes were suddenly cold, thinking that this person was really ruthless! Hearing such a tragic encounter between Fang Yin's mother and son, the only thing he cared about was whether he was cuckolded!
"The origin of this woman has become a mystery, since she is unwilling to tell her true life experience, she must have a great unspeakable secret, and it is inconvenient for this king to ask more. And Hua Fengshan really cares about her, and often comes to my house to treat her, so this king has naturally always been commensurate with her as Mrs. Hua. β
Leng Yiqing nodded slowly, sighed, and then asked, "I wonder what happened to the child she gave birth to after this flower lady died?"
Hua Fengshan took the child back to his house to raise him, but because the capital was very strict with the hermit, he sent the child to his hometown in Wuzhou in the south. The death of Mrs. Hua was really a pain in Hua Fengshan's heart, and I naturally avoided mentioning anything related to Mrs. Hua in front of him, so I have never heard about the child's situation since. β
Leng Yiqing lowered his eyes silently, knowing that the story told by the other party should be half true and false, but the content about Fang Yin's whereabouts must be true. That beautiful woman was really gone forever, and as her husband, he was too cowardly to admit that she had been his beloved wife. and that child, he no longer has the courage to ask whether the child that belongs to him is a boy or a girl.
Although I still don't know what happened to Mrs. Hua at the beginning, so that she fell into such a lonely and helpless situation, I think most of them were burdened by her identity as a hermit. Alas, such a beautiful woman, who died at a young age, is really pitiful!"
Speaking of this, Haoxing Mingrui couldn't help but sigh, and then his tone changed, and he said solemnly: "This king thinks that my dynasty's expulsion and killing of the hidden people is really too unreasonable! And Lord Leng's words hit the nail on the head, breaking down the disadvantages of persecuting the hidden people clearly. I once mentioned what Lord Leng said to an old friend, and he was also very distressed when he heard it, and he was worried about the future of Dayu. He once said to me that he really wanted to hear more about Lord Leng's insights on the court situation, and hoped that he could have a long talk with Lord Leng in the future. β
His words immediately pulled Leng Yiqing back from his chaotic thoughts!
Suddenly realized that the other party was making some kind of hint to him, his cold eyes suddenly brightened, and all the previous dissatisfaction and suspicion of this person were all forgotten.
The only thing he thought of at this moment was that if he could seize this opportunity in time and form an offensive and defensive alliance with the other party, then from now on, a new pattern would be formed on the court of Dayu.
At that time, he, the prime minister of the left, will become a powerful minister who can control the situation of the court and command hundreds of officials, and all the good policies of governing the country that have accumulated in his chest for many years can be implemented. One day, Dayu will become strong again in his hands, and will prosper ever since!
