Chapter 23
Lin Shengyu visited Li Xiangguo again.Although Li Xiangye killed his relatives righteously and put aside the relationship for the time being, his relationship with He Zhiyi is there. On the surface, he was frightened by his lewd power and dared not speak up, but in private, he said everything, even the reckless foreign envoy. Looking at his face, he said: "I heard that the prince was arrested by your envoy, hahaha. I heard, I heard." For a while, thousands of people accused him, and they couldn't argue with each other.Hearing Lin Shengyu's visit, he said irritably that he would see him or not.In fact, at this time, except for the envoy Yuan, anyone else would not want to see him.But Lin Shengyu stuffed the money and asked the housekeeper for a small matter, trying to get the Prime Minister to take a look at the greeting card.The butler did it, and the greeting card was handed over inadvertently, and it came under Li Xiangye's nose, so the four big words "lost and never come again" on the invitation card made Lin Shengyu enter the Prime Minister's mansion for the second time, and once again got a kiss from the bridesmaid Sent out of the house.Afterwards, Li Xiangye went to the Yuanshi mansion in a sedan chair, and it took half a day from noon to dark before he came out to return to the mansion.In the early morning of the next day, Li Xiangye appeared in the morning court in a gentle and elegant manner after three days, and quietly stood in the frontmost position.
In the beginning, the court was full of quarrels all day long, and some officials even stayed up all night worrying about state affairs, but those who could take charge were sick and hid, and Marshal Li, who was in charge of the army, said that he was not allowed to fight and did not ask about government affairs. In general, the crowd is noisy and noisy, their ideas are flying all over the sky, their saliva is splashing everywhere, and in the end they all return to the dust.After a few days, people were exhausted, and it gradually turned into quarreling when they came to court in the morning. When they had enough quarreling, they went back to their respective houses to rest and wait for tomorrow.To put it bluntly, it is to avoid suspicion. To put it bluntly, Li Xiangye, who was scolded away a few days ago, unexpectedly came back today. Officials, royal relatives, and envoys who came one after another saw it. Some people were surprised and some were angry. No end, more people are slightly excited to watch a good show, and if the timing of scolding is right, follow the wave.
"My lord envoy is here!" Everyone turned around in astonishment, and looked at the envoy of Dayuan, wearing a foreign official uniform and carrying the majesty of the state, striding straight to the high platform, and then went up the steps step by step, standing straight on the dragon chair On the left side, there are officials of Zhao State under Bi Ni Zhuo.
What does it mean?Are you going against the sky?Although Zhao State is a vassal state of Yuan Dynasty, envoys are also ministers, and when they meet the king, they have to bow their heads under the stage.This envoy has been stationed in Zhao Kingdom for more than ten years. He is just arrogant and frivolous. He spends his time begging for some offerings from time to time, and he is not too out of line. , and didn't get involved in the court even once, what is going to happen today.All of a sudden, there were discussions everywhere, and even more upright veterans stepped forward with shaking fingers and were about to start scolding.
"What's the use of arguing anymore? Do you want to deal with state affairs? Do you want to care about the common people? With such a chaotic mess in the country, my Majesty Dayuan is thousands of miles away, and I am worried about you. I am not standing here for a The power of the small vassal state, but I really can't stand it anymore, and come out to take charge of it. How can I say that the vassal state is also a part of my Dayuan, some people will always misunderstand our intentions, but in fact, my Dayuan only wants to support the various vassal states, and you and others Friendly."
"..." It was hard to refute, and everyone was speechless for a moment.
"That's right." Marshal Li, who went to court every day to maintain order, still stood at the forefront, parallel to Li Xiangye, and echoed lightly in the silence.Yuan envoy glanced at him upon hearing the sound, then glanced at Li Xiangye's position by the way, and continued to give orders to everyone in the audience.
"Your lord's funeral cannot be abolished. The prince's career needs someone to preside over it. It is imminent and cannot be sloppy. Mr. Li, Qiao Ge is old and sick. You can take care of the affairs of the government. The funeral of the lord needs to be done." Do it more grandly."
"You should do your best. In the face of major events, the envoys of other countries are still dedicated to serving the country and the people. Compared with them, we are ashamed." Li Xiangye bowed his head emotionally, his voice choked.
"Find out the whereabouts of the prince, Master Liao of Dali Temple, you are duty-bound." "Yes... yes..." The thin middle-aged official with a pale complexion stood up in a panic, obediently I answered.
After Yuan Envoy finished speaking, he unconsciously glanced at Marshal Li who was motionless and stern, and was speechless for a moment.When Li Xiangye saw him, Ji You winked towards Marshal Li and bowed his hands, "Maintenance of law and order depends entirely on the lord." In the battle against the Yuan Kingdom, his son later inherited the title. He was a cannibal under the stage. He was good at martial arts at a young age. .The country hates the family feud, and has always been an anti-Yuan faction with a clear stand. Relying on the soldiers and horses in his hands, he is one of the very few people in the court who dare not buy the Yuan envoy account. Therefore, when the Yuan envoy came to power, it was the marshal Reaction.However, after listening to Li Xiangye's remarks, Marshal Li actually responded simply: "Naturally!"
The envoy Yuan on the stage saw that the matter had been finished smoothly, and added arrogantly: "That's it." He raised his head and stepped forward, ready to get down.
"How can a country's court allow the envoys of other countries to instigate it at will!" Some people couldn't help being the first to jump out, pointing fingers and scolding, and there were a lot of scolding at once.Why do you deceive me that there is no one in the court, the Yuan dog is wronging the country, don't trust other people's words, tracking down the prince's whereabouts is the foundation of the country,...It is also mixed with some contrary arguments such as the fact that the government should not be ignored anyway, and that what the Yuan envoys said was not unreasonable.Under the high platform, it is like a pot of boiling water.
Li Xiangye and Yuan Envoy looked at each other, stepped up a step, full of confidence and ready to start a loud and emotional talk.The Yuan Envoy's opening posture was very decent, and he then grasped the big issues and said the big things, and the advances and retreats are well-founded, and the sewage can be wiped out. Looking at the court, who else is fighting for the No. 1 position?
"Bang——" there was a sudden loud noise, which made Mr. Li tremble in fright, and the stage and audience fell silent until a needle could be heard.
Everyone looked around and saw that Marshal Li had also climbed onto the high platform at some point, standing on the edge with a gloomy face, and the envoy Yuan sat aside with a face of horror, and behind him, the left side of the dragon chair was originally decorated with the right side. A jade pillar as tall as a man's arm and as thick as an arm's length was smashed to pieces at the base of the platform.After seeing it clearly, the hearts of those who saw it began to tremble. This-this-this is a huge boulder that weighs a thousand catties, and it was lifted up with bare hands?Still smashed like this!
"It's an eventful autumn, and the country is in danger. You adults have been arguing for ten days and exaggerating, but you still care about your duties? How much salary do you pay for your daily life? Anyone who dares to say that others are sincere is like this!" The force of a thousand catties in front of him made people's ears buzz and their thighs tremble.
"..." Everyone: Shocked, ashamed, surprised... all kinds of feelings are indescribable.
"..." Master Xiang: So straightforward!So weird!Why did this person suddenly change his gender?But it saved me a thousand words of rhetoric, it helped...
"..." Yuan Envoy: For a long time, they are on the same side!Just now I thought I was going to be smashed, I was scared to death...
All matters were finally settled by the marshal. Afterwards, the quarrels in the court disappeared, and Li Xiangye entered the cabinet as he wished.A few days later, people were sent to the inn to invite Lin Shengyu to the mansion for another talk. On the second day, in the early court, people sent a memorial to the common prosperity of the Yuan Dynasty. The promotion of trade and intercommunication, and then the interaction between the people and the communication between the people, the one-sided words are all-inclusive, and people's hearts are shaken for a while, and they suddenly feel entangled in the humiliation of paying tribute. It is ridiculous to say it under the conditions of many overall interests.Li Xiangye stood on the high platform, on the side of the dragon chair, the more he listened, the more pleasing he was, and the words were in harmony with his heart.Happily, as soon as he went to court, he asked someone to drive to invite Lin Shengyu to the mansion for a while.Lin Shengyu said that he was busy with future plans, so he asked Mr. Xiang to come to the mansion tomorrow for a meeting and have a generous gift.Li Zhimu saw Lin Shengyu who was already waiting in the mansion the next day when he went down to court, he lived up to his foreword, and presented a big gift to the Prime Minister—it was a revised and improved relationship with the Yuan Kingdom in the first greeting card. Possible options for enhanced interaction with it.There are more than a dozen opinions on three pages, all of which are incisive and practical. Li Xiangye is full of enthusiasm, and he only feels that there is a lot to be done, and the future is bright and unlimited.He kept calling for a car and went to the embassy, and asked the envoy Yuan to implement it together.Afterwards, the envoys of the Yuan Dynasty entered the imperial hall in a serious manner, and from time to time they talked about how Dayuan was, to share the experience of governing a great country, and sent people several times to report back to the country, requesting the drafting of terms such as mutual market and non-governmental exchanges.Li Xiangye stood up to the court alone and acted recklessly, only feeling happy.
The prime minister's trust in Lin Shengyu is increasing day by day, and he has to ask for opinions on almost everything, and sincerely plans to give Lin Shengyu a suitable position in the court, and also asks his own opinions, but on this matter, Lin Shengyu's attitude was a little perfunctory, it was still too early to say.Li Zhimu judges others by himself, thinking that Lin Shengyu thinks his foundation is too shallow, too high a position is not easy to arrange, and too low is unwilling to be reconciled, so he hesitates. It is not too strange that young people have better eyes but lower hands, and it will be okay after a while.As for other matters, Lin Shengyu's opinions are very thoughtful every time, and the various documents he writes are even more exquisite in words and clear in reason.
In the blink of an eye, half a month later, when the national funeral ceremony arrived, Lin Shengyu wrote a long eulogy, detailing the [-] years of wind and rain meritorious deeds of the king, and the mourning officer read it slowly, and everyone present was red-eyed and shed tears .Li Xiangye faintly heard the propaganda of harmony with Yuan and striving for happiness for the people between the lines, and he was also very satisfied.For three full days, the king's coffin entered the emperor's mausoleum. The etiquette was grand and meticulous, and the whole country mourned.
On the other hand, the tracing of the prince's whereabouts has become more and more hasty, except for Mr. Liao, the Minister of Dali Temple, who pitifully has to take this matter to heart, and almost no one cares about it.
On this day, Lin Shengyu was quietly brought by Cao Chongli to a small courtyard in a narrow alley in the market. Lin Shengyu casually pushed open an ordinary door, and when he saw a person sitting at the front of the table, he was stunned and burst into tears. Falling, choking and calling,
"Brother Chen..."
☆, marshal
"Your Highness, you can't, the general will be terrified! Please follow the crown prince's name to address Chen." When this person saw him, he hurriedly stood up and saluted.It was Chen Jingyuan who entered the palace with Cao Xian and was imprisoned together.
"Yes..." Lin Shengyu grabbed Chen Jingyuan's hand, stared at him, and burst into sobs.How could Chen Jingyuan not understand what he was going to ask?But he could only shake his head again and again, and then watched helplessly as his tearful eyes dimmed.
After Lin Shengyu calmed down, Cao Chongli explained in detail what had happened. Speaking of which, he was able to find Chen Jingyuan because of a change in the court.
Although the order to track down the prince was issued by the envoy Yuan, it took a lot of thought, and Mr. Liao, who is twisted and twisted, also thought about it, but this person has been in charge of the prison for many years, with strict scrutiny and careful judgment, but he is unparalleled in courage. He was caught in a chaotic situation, but he still hoped for perfection, that is, he did not dare to offend the Yuanshi and the Xiangye, nor did he want to cut off the contact with the side who supported the prince.After much deliberation, after thinking about it for three days, he still brought Chen Jingyuan out of the inner prison of the deep palace, asked the prince carefully about how he was taken down from the palace, and then temporarily detained him in Dali Temple for the convenience of interrogation.Except that the inner palace has nothing to do, outside the palace, there are various prisons, large and small, in the capital.As soon as Chen Jingyuan entered Dali Temple, he got the news. After some arrangement, he directly stole the person out two days later, and found this inconspicuous place to settle down.
"His Highness also entered the inner palace prison, and the two of them were separated from each other at the beginning, separated by a long distance."
"Ten days later, I heard the jailer talking about it and suddenly disappeared."
"It's not like the people in the prison did it. The head of the prison was also very anxious when he saw it. It seems that he was held accountable by the higher authorities."
There is still nothing about Cao Xian, but it is conceivable that he did not escape by himself. If he escaped, he would never ignore Chen Jingyuan who was in the same place.This idea increased the uneasiness of the three of them.
There was no discrepancy between the process of the two being arrested and the known information. They were captured as soon as they entered the inner palace. They were surrounded by more than a dozen knives and guns with their bare hands. There was no other way but to submit obediently. "He Zhiyi, this villain, is too rampant!" Cursing and scolding, the three of them knew that He Zhiyi was no longer worth mentioning. Can't do it?
Chen Jingyuan has been imprisoned for almost two months, and his life is not too bad. Apart from being a little uncomfortable with the prison meal a day, he has no other hardships. In fact, no one cares about him until Mr. Liao came out.Now that he came out, he changed his clothes, washed off all the dirt, put on a disguise, and made an appointment with Cao Chongli to go out to check the situation.Before leaving, he pulled Lin Shengyu over and asked solemnly,
"I heard from Lao Cao, are you helping this old fox, Lin Zhimu, now?"
Ever since Lin Shengyu frequently went in and out of the prime minister's mansion, Cao Chongli's indifferent face had been frozen for a long time. Apart from barely asking for news as required, he had no words in front of Lin Shengyu, and the pimples in his heart were on his forehead.Lin Shengyu naturally saw this situation, but too many explanations would be useless in the end, and would cause more troubles instead.
"How is Sheng Yu's character, can Big Brother Chen still trust you?" To Chen Jingyuan, that's all Lin Sheng Yu could say.
However, Chen Jingyuan had to be more open-minded, patted Lin Shengyu on the shoulder, and replied with one word: "Trust!"
"Your Highness thinks more than we do. There is a reason to do anything. I just believe in it."
"Brother...I..." Lin Chengyu's eyes turned red again upon hearing this.
On the first day Chen Jingyuan went out, he got a new piece of news from his colleagues earlier. The hundred elites who returned to Beijing together were captured by the Marshal’s Imperial City Guard on the same day that the crown prince entered the palace, and then temporarily became independent. It was compiled in the camp outside the city under the command of the Marshal, there was no involvement, there was no questioning of crimes, and there was nothing else except the restriction of leaving the camp.
When Lin Shengyu heard Cao Chongli's message, his eyes flickered slightly.After thinking for a while, he gave up the idea of letting Chen Jingyuan go to contact Marshal Li.If something happens, how can you put others in danger at will?
After Chen Jingyuan came out of Dali Temple, he was a little worried that he would be wanted, and he almost didn't dare to meet Sheng Yu and the others for fear of getting involved.A few days later, the situation remained calm, and no one mentioned this matter in the court. "For Prime Minister and the others, it's best for everyone to forget about the prince. Naturally, they don't want to release news related to the prince to remind others. If the news of the prison escape is revealed, they must find out the whereabouts of the prince. It's a matter of progress, so it's right to pretend that there is no such thing as you, let alone such a thing, at least on the bright side, no one will care about you." Lin Shengyu clapped his hands and said, Chen Jingyuan felt more at ease.
The days passed day by day on Lin Shengyu's journey to and from the Prime Minister's Mansion and the inn. The chilly early spring atmosphere when he first arrived in the capital has long since disappeared, and the cool early summer wind has also passed by. When the long June came to an end, Lin Shengyu came to Looking out of the window at the rolling dark clouds in the sky, and hearing the sudden thunder, it is time for the capital to change.
The rain was falling in the evening, and it suddenly fell heavily. The white rain curtain continued to the sky and the ground. In it, there were vague and hasty figures walking around, but it was difficult to see the real face.Lin Shengyu and Xiangye chatted all afternoon, discussing the terms of the mutual market sent by the Yuan envoy. The timing is perfect.Lin Shengyu didn't walk very far after he came out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it was a coincidence that he fell into this heavy rain, holding an unusable oil-paper umbrella in his hand, and the water under his feet covered his feet. It was a long way to get to the inn. For the first time, I regretted that I refused the treatment of Xiangfu's carriage pick-up.Just at this moment, there happened to be a carriage slowly driving towards him.The carriage was driving extremely slowly, the road was almost invisible in this weather, and it was difficult to run fast.Lin Shengyu watched the carriage walking side by side for a long while, and saw the door of the carriage opened left and right, right next to him, and then he stretched out his hands one by one, buckled and dragged, and dragged him in neatly. carriage.Lin Chengyu watched helplessly as a person who was similar in stature to him, wearing the same headgear and long gown, jumped out of the car, picked up the fallen oil-paper umbrella, and walked beside the car.The car door closed slowly, blocking the heavy rain and the shadows wandering in the rain...
The carriage swayed slightly as it was slowly speeding up. The people in the carriage let go of the restraint, removed the dagger from Lin Chengyu's neck, and said, "Offended." It seemed that they followed Lin Chengyu to freedom.Lin Shengyu moved the arm that hurt from being scratched, and looked left and right, he and the two people who grabbed him were also in the car. The two were dressed in ordinary coarse clothes without any conspicuous accessories. It's deceptive.
"What does that mean?"
"My adults are welcome."
"..." Your lord invites someone so sincerely that it is really hard to refuse.Since he couldn't help himself, he just let it go. Lin Chengyu sat in the airtight carriage with his eyes closed and rested, trying to guess who a certain adult was.
The carriage drove slowly for a stick of incense, and stopped under a corridor sheltered from the rain.Lin Shengyu walked for a short while with the guide in a small courtyard, and then was let into a bedroom, which had specially prepared dry clothes, shoes and socks for Lin Shengyu to change.
"I'll bake it later." The servant who came to take away the wet clothes also explained respectfully.
Lin Shengyu, who had tidied up and was refreshed, was led away again, and finally arrived at a spacious study room, lit with several white candles for lighting in rainy days, the room was clearly defined.It was also obvious that the person sitting at the desk was waiting, Lin Chengyu smiled when he saw it, originally he was reluctant to come to the door, but now he is playing this one?
"Lansheng Lin Yu, I pay my respects to Marshal Marshal." Isn't this person the current Marshal Li who holds the military power, has outstanding martial arts skills, and is extremely powerful?
Marshal Li frowned when he heard the words, got up and walked over, and with a flick of his left hand, he straightened Lin Chengyu who was bent over.But the right hand touched his cheek and said,
"Remove."
"..." Lin Chengyu had no choice but to take out a small bottle of potion from his arms, wipe it on in front of others, and changed his face once.
After Lin Chengyu changed his face back, Marshal Li put his hand behind his back, stared at Lin Chengyu up and down, and at the end, he came up with a summary,
"It's really like it!"
"With just this face, it's enough to poke at the court, and there is no need to say anything."
"Tell me, what do you want? I will help you."
"..." Lin Shengyu always felt that Marshal Li seemed very happy when he said this series of words to himself, so happy that it made people feel a little uneasy. "I want to get back what I lost." He replied tentatively.
"Okay—" Marshal Li became even happier when he heard this, and turned around, returned to the desk and took out a small jade pendant and handed it to Lin Chengyu.
"You must never give it to others. It's the same idea as your father's, I like it! You keep this jade pendant, and you can directly dispatch Ouchi's guards in case of emergency."
Lin Shengyu now fully understood that the token for mobilizing the Ouchi guards must have been entrusted by the lord of the country. Marshal Li, it turned out that his father had already made arrangements for it.
"My men and horses can't attack the palace easily, but if they want to surround the palace gate or something, it's fine."
"That's enough. Sheng Yu first thanked the marshal for his support."
"En. That's enough. I'll take you back and don't stay for long." Marshal Li got up and ordered people to arrange carriages and horses to take Lin Shengyu out.
Lin Shengyu was in a moment of anxiety, and couldn't care less about hesitation, so he stopped people and asked, "Sheng Yu still has something to ask, and I hope the marshal will tell you the truth—does the marshal know the whereabouts of the prince?"
"Prince? You mean Cao Xian. I don't know. Recently, I heard that he was smuggled to Dayuan." Marshal Li had an impatient expression on his face, hanging brightly—why ask this, it's a lot of trouble! The meaning of - was actually within Lin Chengyu's expectation, but seeing the sadness welling up in this situation was still uncontrollable for a while.Fortunately, Marshal Li didn't care about his reaction, but swiftly packed him together with the freshly baked clothes into a new carriage, and quietly transported him back to the inn.
☆, show your face
Only when the heavy rain first breaks can we have a moment of coolness in summer.On this day when Mr. Li Xiangye went to court, it happened that there was a burst of morning rain, which completely drove away the heat.The moist cool breeze in the small sedan really makes my whole body feel comfortable.Life was going well, Li Xiangye suddenly became interested, and decided to abduct him to Hongfulou for a drink.If you want to say that in all the capitals, there is always such a Hongfulou, which is dedicated to the first-class dishes and entertains high-ranking officials and dignitaries, so ordinary people can't easily enter the door.Mr. Li Xiangye has a reserved private room in this Hongfu building, facing the river by the window, the scenery is the most exquisite.Occasionally enjoying it by yourself or entertaining distinguished guests such as Yuan Shi is a pleasure and a lot of face.Li Xiangye liked it, so he became a frequent visitor here.As soon as he got off the sedan chair, seven or eight little girls came up with the shopkeeper, and finally the shopkeeper took him to the elegant room on the second floor.
"Master Xiang, you haven't been here for a while." The shopkeeper carefully led the way while looking for something to ask.
"It's hot, and there are a lot of things to do." Li Xiangye should be easy-going, thinking that he has been busy for a long time, but it was worth it, and everything went smoothly.
"That is, you are always responsible for the important affairs of the people of this country." The shopkeeper responded thoughtfully.
On the second floor of Hongfu Building, there is a circle of private rooms, surrounded by a spacious hall.The shopkeeper ingeniously set up a storytelling hall, where he would tell a couple of common anecdotes every day at a fixed time for the entertainment of distinguished guests after dinner.Guests on the first floor can sit in front of the hall with permission, and guests in the private room can listen with the door open, which is convenient.
When Li Xiangye followed the shopkeeper to the second floor, it coincided with the afternoon session of the storytelling hall.The old storyteller on the stage put his gavel away, Fan Er opened his mouth, and he spoke with full of air, every word and every word, scratching the bones of one's ears,
"Speaking of our crown prince, it is particularly predestined with the envoys of the Yuan Dynasty. Not to mention playing Xiao Yuan Chao Gang, as a proton, the friendship at that time, let's talk about the friendship at that time. Everyone knows that the crown prince was wronged and imprisoned at the beginning of the year. He disappeared. But in fact, with the help of the envoys of the Yuan Dynasty, he secretly transferred to Yuandu!..."
Li Xiangye usually likes this bookstore in Hongfulou very much, Xinxinran listened to a few words, the more he listened, the more frightened he was.
"You—you are so courageous, you dare to distort the facts and criticize the government!" Li Xiangye roared angrily, and pointed at the shopkeeper with a pale face, shaking uncontrollably.The storyteller, half frightened to death, rolled and knelt down in front of Li Xiangye, speaking incoherently in a panic: "This...this—everyone is talking about this, all kinds of small storybooks... ...everyone likes to hear it, and...and isn't this... pro-Yuan Shanyuan propaganda..."
Goodwill is a ghost, if you want to be goodwill, who can say that it's not good to get involved, but you have to use the prince as an issue?Li Xiangye was angry and anxious, and he didn't care about the shopkeeper and the storyteller. He shook his hands, went back downstairs, got up the sedan chair and went back to the house.After returning to the mansion, Master Xiang hurriedly sent a group of servants to inquire about the place, and quietly summoned his confidants to inquire. After an hour, he got thirty or forty kinds of gossip that had recently been circulated everywhere in the capital. Originally, the stories were bizarre, absurd, reasonable, utilitarian, and even affectionate, but the only constant was that the crown prince was secretly taken away by envoys of the Yuan Dynasty and entered the capital of Yuan.
People who want to be quietly forgotten are known in the streets and alleys, and two people who are the least connected are pulled together abruptly. It may not be easy.Li Xiangye pondered for a moment who was behind the scenes, thought of various possibilities, and finally sent a sedan chair to invite Lin Chengyu over.
"Half a month ago, the students mentioned that rumors about the envoy Yuan had spread, but it's a pity..." Lin Shengyu sighed helplessly after hearing this.Li Xiangye thought about it carefully, half a month ago, the dissenting voices in the court were completely eliminated, and the envoy of the Yuan Dynasty just sent back the draft proposal of the trade and exchange market, and there was also a letter of commendation from the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, which was very proud of the spring breeze. Sometimes, when I heard a bad reminder, I subconsciously ignored it. What's more, when it comes to Yuanshi, it's just a matter of coming, and some gossips don't bother to deal with him. Who would have thought that they would get involved with the crown prince? Now this is the situation , can only sigh in vain.
"What should I do? You must have a good plan, let me hear it." Mr. Xiang was embarrassed by his negligence, when he turned around and saw Lin Shengyu drinking tea quietly, he realized that he must have a reliable idea.
"Master Xiang, don't worry, there is still something to do about this matter." Lin Shengyu responded with a smile, "Master Xiang carefully check all the rumors, they all say that as soon as the crown prince was imprisoned, he was arranged to be taken to Yuandu by Yuan envoys. As far as the students know, ten days after the prince enters the palace, there is absolutely no way to send horses and horses out of Beijing or out of the customs. The prime minister can send someone to get a document explaining all the checkpoints, and the whole city will tell him, and he will be innocent. Stern words If you warn against dissent and cause trouble, you can stop."
Li Xiangye thought so, and arranged accordingly.Two days later, I successfully obtained the proof of the far and near checkpoints along the way, and issued a city-wide bulletin with convincing evidence, clarifying the matter and warning that rumors must be investigated.
All of a sudden, the busy streets and streets in the capital were crowded with people, and everyone rushed to see the list, and there were many discussions.
"What are you talking about? It was impossible to send it out at the beginning."
"How could the envoy alone steal the prince out of the palace prison? There must be someone else."
"Stupid? You must wait for the wind to pass before leaving."
"..."
When the news came back to the Xiangfu, Li Xiangye became confused and hurriedly sent someone to investigate again, but he quickly understood what was going on.It turns out that in just two days, the small story book has been updated!The focus of the replacement is how the envoy of the Yuan Dynasty took the prince out of the palace gates and away from the capital.From how to escape from the prison with someone's assistance, avoid the palace guards, wait for the right time to send out of the city, and then leave the customs, the words are so precise that Li Zhimu even talks about farting. How can there be such a hole in the wall that is easy to dig?How can there be such a loose guard?Flying over the eaves and walking on the wall is whimsical.But everyone loves this bizarre plot and believes in this tortuous story, and you see, there are now official proofs: it was impossible to go out of the city directly at the beginning, and you had to hide in various places.Reasonable, conscientious words.
"..." What an oolong show!
Lin Shengyu came to the door to apologize, saying that he was all to blame for his lack of consideration and was put on by his opponent.This person is really insidious and cunning, so be careful.
Li Xiangye sent the servants of the Dali Temple to trace the source of the novel, but was quickly beaten back by Marshal Li who was devoted to maintaining order. He sent a message saying that it is okay to trace, but it is not allowed to arrest people to disturb the capital.
Then how to check?Does this still need to be checked?It's clear who is playing tricks behind the scenes.But this clarity is the most headache for Mr. Li, what can we do with him?
What was even more troublesome was that after the rumors that the prince was in the Yuan Dynasty became more and more widespread, the faction of generals who were originally silent in the court began to forcefully ask to go out along the way to investigate the whereabouts of the prince.Moreover, it affected a few officials who had already been subdued, saying that the prince should be found as soon as possible and the country should be rectified.Li Xiangye made an exception and appointed Lin Shengyu the position of servant, to discuss matters before the court.Lin Shengyu said that the people are the most important, the king is the least, the state affairs are serious, and the military will hurt the people. The court refuted the idea of sending troops out of the customs, and his words were sharp, and temporarily suppressed the generals. Li Xiangguo was very satisfied.
But within a few days, a message came from Xishu, causing waves again.
The Western Shu Army urgently delivered the letter, and it was delivered directly to the military aircraft office by express horse for eight hundred miles.Although the civil servants in charge of the Military Aircraft Department are also from Li Xiangye's faction, but when the Military Aircraft Department is involved in military affairs, if Marshal Li speaks, he has to listen. The content in the book is also too important, and I can't hide it for a long time.So on the second morning morning event, the content of the biography was read out at the beginning. It was two short sentences written by Yu Penghai himself: I was shocked to hear that the prince was imprisoned in Yuandu, and I was very angry. Who can bear it?The prince's guards rushed to Beijing to ask for the will to save people, and then sent troops out of the customs to ask for help.
"Impulse, the courage of a man! Even if the crown prince is really in Yuandu, he doesn't need anyone to save him. Ten thousand soldiers and horses will return as soon as they say they want, and they will work hard to mobilize the masses. They are too ignorant! Well, everyone is talking about how to appease these reckless people. " Li Xiangye made a few words on the platform to set the purpose, pretending to casually look at the position of Lin Shengyu at the end of the row, thinking that this matter is easy to handle, and the next words are all from the prince's envoys in the Yuan Dynasty. After helping Yuandu, the relationship is friendly. It cannot be said that he is imprisoned. There is no reason to send troops. If they insist on finding someone, they can only send envoys. Lin Shilang is considerate and speaks beautifully. Let him speak out most.
As expected, Lin Shengyu had a very wink, and as soon as Xiangye finished his sentence, he bowed out of the line and took the conversation steadily: "According to my opinion——"
"General Yu's concern is very reasonable. The crown prince is very likely to be imprisoned in Yuandu. For the current plan, raising troops to ask for help is the only way. All the adults should immediately discuss the Yuan Xiwen, so that the crown prince can act immediately after entering Beijing."
"..." There was no distinction between civil and martial arts on and off the stage, everyone turned their heads and looked at each other in blank dismay, full of doubts.Did you hear me wrong?Or is Lin Shilang in front of you not Lin Shilang?Lin Shilang has always been advocating goodwill to the great yuan, but he wants to send troops to attack the yuan. What is wrong with this?
"What's the meaning of Aiqing? Everyone is saying that the Yuan envoy helped the prince, so why imprison him?" Li Xiangye was stunned when he heard the completely different words, wondering if it was a strange move to suppress first and then raise , had no choice but to respond in a daze.
"Help? Only ignorant people will believe this kind of rhetoric. The prince has been in court for three years. As we all know, he has no intention of being friendly to Da Yuan. He is in the same situation as Yuan envoys. How can he help each other? How can we say that it is Yuan It is more likely that the envoys will take advantage of the danger, and the possibility of captives going away will be even greater. Moreover, when the king of the country is gone and there is no one, how can the prince be willing to abandon the country without a plan?"
"You...you...you openly slandered Yuan envoys and sabotaged the goodwill plan. What is your intention?" Li Xiangye was furious, pointing at Lin Chengyu, fearful speculation filled his heart.
Lin Shengyu met Li Xiangye's gradually panicked eyes, and came to the front of the stage step by step, his eyes were stern, and his words were firm, each sentence confirmed Xiangye's guess, "Ask me what I mean? I have to ask, taking advantage of the king's illness. What is your intention to recapture the prince and put him in prison? What is your intention to let the prince disappear without asking what is your intention? Colluding with Yuan envoys, what is your intention to make excessive concessions to the Yuan? Li Zhimu, you betrayed the country and begged for glory and signed Bu Pingdiao About, dare to argue with everyone?"
Lin Shengyu took out a roll of paper from his arms, turned around and read it to everyone in the audience one by one. It was the terms of the trade and exchange with Yuan that had been drawn up earlier, and the distribution of benefits in it was obviously very unfair.Lin Shengyu read one sentence, and the discussion in the audience increased. This document was negotiated privately by Li Xiangye, Yuan Envoy and some of his cronies. In order to thank Yuan Envoy for his efforts in the court and for the follow-up support of Da Yuan, he did transfer it. most of the benefits.It is very difficult to justify such an announcement to the public.Lin Shengyu can't be allowed to talk like that anymore!Li Xiangye sternly shouted: "Bold and lunatic, how dare you make trouble in front of the court. Come here, take it down quickly!"
A team of inner palace guards quickly came from outside the court, and quickly approached Lin Shengyu's side.Lin Chengyu casually threw away the scroll in his hand, and stood with his hands folded.The two guards grabbed Lin Shengyu's arm, one left and one right, Lin Shengyu looked coldly and remained motionless.The guards dragged them back outside, approaching the steps outside the court step by step, Lin Chengyu neither struggled nor spoke.
Suddenly, a person jumped out from the middle of the military officer's lineup, dodged towards the arresting guards, kicked a group of guards over with a few kicks, and grabbed Lin Shengyu in his arms.The surrounding civil and military officials dispersed in a circle in shock, leaving an open space around the two people who embraced each other, so almost everyone in the court could clearly see Lin Shilang who was hugged in his arms quickly lifted up. Hand, touched the military officer's face, a brand new face was revealed, the eyeballs fell out of shock, everyone shouted in their hearts with dull expressions: "Ah, ah, The prince—it’s the prince!"
☆, enthroned
Cao Xian let go of Lin Shengyu in his arms with a gloomy expression,
In the beginning, the court was full of quarrels all day long, and some officials even stayed up all night worrying about state affairs, but those who could take charge were sick and hid, and Marshal Li, who was in charge of the army, said that he was not allowed to fight and did not ask about government affairs. In general, the crowd is noisy and noisy, their ideas are flying all over the sky, their saliva is splashing everywhere, and in the end they all return to the dust.After a few days, people were exhausted, and it gradually turned into quarreling when they came to court in the morning. When they had enough quarreling, they went back to their respective houses to rest and wait for tomorrow.To put it bluntly, it is to avoid suspicion. To put it bluntly, Li Xiangye, who was scolded away a few days ago, unexpectedly came back today. Officials, royal relatives, and envoys who came one after another saw it. Some people were surprised and some were angry. No end, more people are slightly excited to watch a good show, and if the timing of scolding is right, follow the wave.
"My lord envoy is here!" Everyone turned around in astonishment, and looked at the envoy of Dayuan, wearing a foreign official uniform and carrying the majesty of the state, striding straight to the high platform, and then went up the steps step by step, standing straight on the dragon chair On the left side, there are officials of Zhao State under Bi Ni Zhuo.
What does it mean?Are you going against the sky?Although Zhao State is a vassal state of Yuan Dynasty, envoys are also ministers, and when they meet the king, they have to bow their heads under the stage.This envoy has been stationed in Zhao Kingdom for more than ten years. He is just arrogant and frivolous. He spends his time begging for some offerings from time to time, and he is not too out of line. , and didn't get involved in the court even once, what is going to happen today.All of a sudden, there were discussions everywhere, and even more upright veterans stepped forward with shaking fingers and were about to start scolding.
"What's the use of arguing anymore? Do you want to deal with state affairs? Do you want to care about the common people? With such a chaotic mess in the country, my Majesty Dayuan is thousands of miles away, and I am worried about you. I am not standing here for a The power of the small vassal state, but I really can't stand it anymore, and come out to take charge of it. How can I say that the vassal state is also a part of my Dayuan, some people will always misunderstand our intentions, but in fact, my Dayuan only wants to support the various vassal states, and you and others Friendly."
"..." It was hard to refute, and everyone was speechless for a moment.
"That's right." Marshal Li, who went to court every day to maintain order, still stood at the forefront, parallel to Li Xiangye, and echoed lightly in the silence.Yuan envoy glanced at him upon hearing the sound, then glanced at Li Xiangye's position by the way, and continued to give orders to everyone in the audience.
"Your lord's funeral cannot be abolished. The prince's career needs someone to preside over it. It is imminent and cannot be sloppy. Mr. Li, Qiao Ge is old and sick. You can take care of the affairs of the government. The funeral of the lord needs to be done." Do it more grandly."
"You should do your best. In the face of major events, the envoys of other countries are still dedicated to serving the country and the people. Compared with them, we are ashamed." Li Xiangye bowed his head emotionally, his voice choked.
"Find out the whereabouts of the prince, Master Liao of Dali Temple, you are duty-bound." "Yes... yes..." The thin middle-aged official with a pale complexion stood up in a panic, obediently I answered.
After Yuan Envoy finished speaking, he unconsciously glanced at Marshal Li who was motionless and stern, and was speechless for a moment.When Li Xiangye saw him, Ji You winked towards Marshal Li and bowed his hands, "Maintenance of law and order depends entirely on the lord." In the battle against the Yuan Kingdom, his son later inherited the title. He was a cannibal under the stage. He was good at martial arts at a young age. .The country hates the family feud, and has always been an anti-Yuan faction with a clear stand. Relying on the soldiers and horses in his hands, he is one of the very few people in the court who dare not buy the Yuan envoy account. Therefore, when the Yuan envoy came to power, it was the marshal Reaction.However, after listening to Li Xiangye's remarks, Marshal Li actually responded simply: "Naturally!"
The envoy Yuan on the stage saw that the matter had been finished smoothly, and added arrogantly: "That's it." He raised his head and stepped forward, ready to get down.
"How can a country's court allow the envoys of other countries to instigate it at will!" Some people couldn't help being the first to jump out, pointing fingers and scolding, and there were a lot of scolding at once.Why do you deceive me that there is no one in the court, the Yuan dog is wronging the country, don't trust other people's words, tracking down the prince's whereabouts is the foundation of the country,...It is also mixed with some contrary arguments such as the fact that the government should not be ignored anyway, and that what the Yuan envoys said was not unreasonable.Under the high platform, it is like a pot of boiling water.
Li Xiangye and Yuan Envoy looked at each other, stepped up a step, full of confidence and ready to start a loud and emotional talk.The Yuan Envoy's opening posture was very decent, and he then grasped the big issues and said the big things, and the advances and retreats are well-founded, and the sewage can be wiped out. Looking at the court, who else is fighting for the No. 1 position?
"Bang——" there was a sudden loud noise, which made Mr. Li tremble in fright, and the stage and audience fell silent until a needle could be heard.
Everyone looked around and saw that Marshal Li had also climbed onto the high platform at some point, standing on the edge with a gloomy face, and the envoy Yuan sat aside with a face of horror, and behind him, the left side of the dragon chair was originally decorated with the right side. A jade pillar as tall as a man's arm and as thick as an arm's length was smashed to pieces at the base of the platform.After seeing it clearly, the hearts of those who saw it began to tremble. This-this-this is a huge boulder that weighs a thousand catties, and it was lifted up with bare hands?Still smashed like this!
"It's an eventful autumn, and the country is in danger. You adults have been arguing for ten days and exaggerating, but you still care about your duties? How much salary do you pay for your daily life? Anyone who dares to say that others are sincere is like this!" The force of a thousand catties in front of him made people's ears buzz and their thighs tremble.
"..." Everyone: Shocked, ashamed, surprised... all kinds of feelings are indescribable.
"..." Master Xiang: So straightforward!So weird!Why did this person suddenly change his gender?But it saved me a thousand words of rhetoric, it helped...
"..." Yuan Envoy: For a long time, they are on the same side!Just now I thought I was going to be smashed, I was scared to death...
All matters were finally settled by the marshal. Afterwards, the quarrels in the court disappeared, and Li Xiangye entered the cabinet as he wished.A few days later, people were sent to the inn to invite Lin Shengyu to the mansion for another talk. On the second day, in the early court, people sent a memorial to the common prosperity of the Yuan Dynasty. The promotion of trade and intercommunication, and then the interaction between the people and the communication between the people, the one-sided words are all-inclusive, and people's hearts are shaken for a while, and they suddenly feel entangled in the humiliation of paying tribute. It is ridiculous to say it under the conditions of many overall interests.Li Xiangye stood on the high platform, on the side of the dragon chair, the more he listened, the more pleasing he was, and the words were in harmony with his heart.Happily, as soon as he went to court, he asked someone to drive to invite Lin Shengyu to the mansion for a while.Lin Shengyu said that he was busy with future plans, so he asked Mr. Xiang to come to the mansion tomorrow for a meeting and have a generous gift.Li Zhimu saw Lin Shengyu who was already waiting in the mansion the next day when he went down to court, he lived up to his foreword, and presented a big gift to the Prime Minister—it was a revised and improved relationship with the Yuan Kingdom in the first greeting card. Possible options for enhanced interaction with it.There are more than a dozen opinions on three pages, all of which are incisive and practical. Li Xiangye is full of enthusiasm, and he only feels that there is a lot to be done, and the future is bright and unlimited.He kept calling for a car and went to the embassy, and asked the envoy Yuan to implement it together.Afterwards, the envoys of the Yuan Dynasty entered the imperial hall in a serious manner, and from time to time they talked about how Dayuan was, to share the experience of governing a great country, and sent people several times to report back to the country, requesting the drafting of terms such as mutual market and non-governmental exchanges.Li Xiangye stood up to the court alone and acted recklessly, only feeling happy.
The prime minister's trust in Lin Shengyu is increasing day by day, and he has to ask for opinions on almost everything, and sincerely plans to give Lin Shengyu a suitable position in the court, and also asks his own opinions, but on this matter, Lin Shengyu's attitude was a little perfunctory, it was still too early to say.Li Zhimu judges others by himself, thinking that Lin Shengyu thinks his foundation is too shallow, too high a position is not easy to arrange, and too low is unwilling to be reconciled, so he hesitates. It is not too strange that young people have better eyes but lower hands, and it will be okay after a while.As for other matters, Lin Shengyu's opinions are very thoughtful every time, and the various documents he writes are even more exquisite in words and clear in reason.
In the blink of an eye, half a month later, when the national funeral ceremony arrived, Lin Shengyu wrote a long eulogy, detailing the [-] years of wind and rain meritorious deeds of the king, and the mourning officer read it slowly, and everyone present was red-eyed and shed tears .Li Xiangye faintly heard the propaganda of harmony with Yuan and striving for happiness for the people between the lines, and he was also very satisfied.For three full days, the king's coffin entered the emperor's mausoleum. The etiquette was grand and meticulous, and the whole country mourned.
On the other hand, the tracing of the prince's whereabouts has become more and more hasty, except for Mr. Liao, the Minister of Dali Temple, who pitifully has to take this matter to heart, and almost no one cares about it.
On this day, Lin Shengyu was quietly brought by Cao Chongli to a small courtyard in a narrow alley in the market. Lin Shengyu casually pushed open an ordinary door, and when he saw a person sitting at the front of the table, he was stunned and burst into tears. Falling, choking and calling,
"Brother Chen..."
☆, marshal
"Your Highness, you can't, the general will be terrified! Please follow the crown prince's name to address Chen." When this person saw him, he hurriedly stood up and saluted.It was Chen Jingyuan who entered the palace with Cao Xian and was imprisoned together.
"Yes..." Lin Shengyu grabbed Chen Jingyuan's hand, stared at him, and burst into sobs.How could Chen Jingyuan not understand what he was going to ask?But he could only shake his head again and again, and then watched helplessly as his tearful eyes dimmed.
After Lin Shengyu calmed down, Cao Chongli explained in detail what had happened. Speaking of which, he was able to find Chen Jingyuan because of a change in the court.
Although the order to track down the prince was issued by the envoy Yuan, it took a lot of thought, and Mr. Liao, who is twisted and twisted, also thought about it, but this person has been in charge of the prison for many years, with strict scrutiny and careful judgment, but he is unparalleled in courage. He was caught in a chaotic situation, but he still hoped for perfection, that is, he did not dare to offend the Yuanshi and the Xiangye, nor did he want to cut off the contact with the side who supported the prince.After much deliberation, after thinking about it for three days, he still brought Chen Jingyuan out of the inner prison of the deep palace, asked the prince carefully about how he was taken down from the palace, and then temporarily detained him in Dali Temple for the convenience of interrogation.Except that the inner palace has nothing to do, outside the palace, there are various prisons, large and small, in the capital.As soon as Chen Jingyuan entered Dali Temple, he got the news. After some arrangement, he directly stole the person out two days later, and found this inconspicuous place to settle down.
"His Highness also entered the inner palace prison, and the two of them were separated from each other at the beginning, separated by a long distance."
"Ten days later, I heard the jailer talking about it and suddenly disappeared."
"It's not like the people in the prison did it. The head of the prison was also very anxious when he saw it. It seems that he was held accountable by the higher authorities."
There is still nothing about Cao Xian, but it is conceivable that he did not escape by himself. If he escaped, he would never ignore Chen Jingyuan who was in the same place.This idea increased the uneasiness of the three of them.
There was no discrepancy between the process of the two being arrested and the known information. They were captured as soon as they entered the inner palace. They were surrounded by more than a dozen knives and guns with their bare hands. There was no other way but to submit obediently. "He Zhiyi, this villain, is too rampant!" Cursing and scolding, the three of them knew that He Zhiyi was no longer worth mentioning. Can't do it?
Chen Jingyuan has been imprisoned for almost two months, and his life is not too bad. Apart from being a little uncomfortable with the prison meal a day, he has no other hardships. In fact, no one cares about him until Mr. Liao came out.Now that he came out, he changed his clothes, washed off all the dirt, put on a disguise, and made an appointment with Cao Chongli to go out to check the situation.Before leaving, he pulled Lin Shengyu over and asked solemnly,
"I heard from Lao Cao, are you helping this old fox, Lin Zhimu, now?"
Ever since Lin Shengyu frequently went in and out of the prime minister's mansion, Cao Chongli's indifferent face had been frozen for a long time. Apart from barely asking for news as required, he had no words in front of Lin Shengyu, and the pimples in his heart were on his forehead.Lin Shengyu naturally saw this situation, but too many explanations would be useless in the end, and would cause more troubles instead.
"How is Sheng Yu's character, can Big Brother Chen still trust you?" To Chen Jingyuan, that's all Lin Sheng Yu could say.
However, Chen Jingyuan had to be more open-minded, patted Lin Shengyu on the shoulder, and replied with one word: "Trust!"
"Your Highness thinks more than we do. There is a reason to do anything. I just believe in it."
"Brother...I..." Lin Chengyu's eyes turned red again upon hearing this.
On the first day Chen Jingyuan went out, he got a new piece of news from his colleagues earlier. The hundred elites who returned to Beijing together were captured by the Marshal’s Imperial City Guard on the same day that the crown prince entered the palace, and then temporarily became independent. It was compiled in the camp outside the city under the command of the Marshal, there was no involvement, there was no questioning of crimes, and there was nothing else except the restriction of leaving the camp.
When Lin Shengyu heard Cao Chongli's message, his eyes flickered slightly.After thinking for a while, he gave up the idea of letting Chen Jingyuan go to contact Marshal Li.If something happens, how can you put others in danger at will?
After Chen Jingyuan came out of Dali Temple, he was a little worried that he would be wanted, and he almost didn't dare to meet Sheng Yu and the others for fear of getting involved.A few days later, the situation remained calm, and no one mentioned this matter in the court. "For Prime Minister and the others, it's best for everyone to forget about the prince. Naturally, they don't want to release news related to the prince to remind others. If the news of the prison escape is revealed, they must find out the whereabouts of the prince. It's a matter of progress, so it's right to pretend that there is no such thing as you, let alone such a thing, at least on the bright side, no one will care about you." Lin Shengyu clapped his hands and said, Chen Jingyuan felt more at ease.
The days passed day by day on Lin Shengyu's journey to and from the Prime Minister's Mansion and the inn. The chilly early spring atmosphere when he first arrived in the capital has long since disappeared, and the cool early summer wind has also passed by. When the long June came to an end, Lin Shengyu came to Looking out of the window at the rolling dark clouds in the sky, and hearing the sudden thunder, it is time for the capital to change.
The rain was falling in the evening, and it suddenly fell heavily. The white rain curtain continued to the sky and the ground. In it, there were vague and hasty figures walking around, but it was difficult to see the real face.Lin Shengyu and Xiangye chatted all afternoon, discussing the terms of the mutual market sent by the Yuan envoy. The timing is perfect.Lin Shengyu didn't walk very far after he came out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it was a coincidence that he fell into this heavy rain, holding an unusable oil-paper umbrella in his hand, and the water under his feet covered his feet. It was a long way to get to the inn. For the first time, I regretted that I refused the treatment of Xiangfu's carriage pick-up.Just at this moment, there happened to be a carriage slowly driving towards him.The carriage was driving extremely slowly, the road was almost invisible in this weather, and it was difficult to run fast.Lin Shengyu watched the carriage walking side by side for a long while, and saw the door of the carriage opened left and right, right next to him, and then he stretched out his hands one by one, buckled and dragged, and dragged him in neatly. carriage.Lin Chengyu watched helplessly as a person who was similar in stature to him, wearing the same headgear and long gown, jumped out of the car, picked up the fallen oil-paper umbrella, and walked beside the car.The car door closed slowly, blocking the heavy rain and the shadows wandering in the rain...
The carriage swayed slightly as it was slowly speeding up. The people in the carriage let go of the restraint, removed the dagger from Lin Chengyu's neck, and said, "Offended." It seemed that they followed Lin Chengyu to freedom.Lin Shengyu moved the arm that hurt from being scratched, and looked left and right, he and the two people who grabbed him were also in the car. The two were dressed in ordinary coarse clothes without any conspicuous accessories. It's deceptive.
"What does that mean?"
"My adults are welcome."
"..." Your lord invites someone so sincerely that it is really hard to refuse.Since he couldn't help himself, he just let it go. Lin Chengyu sat in the airtight carriage with his eyes closed and rested, trying to guess who a certain adult was.
The carriage drove slowly for a stick of incense, and stopped under a corridor sheltered from the rain.Lin Shengyu walked for a short while with the guide in a small courtyard, and then was let into a bedroom, which had specially prepared dry clothes, shoes and socks for Lin Shengyu to change.
"I'll bake it later." The servant who came to take away the wet clothes also explained respectfully.
Lin Shengyu, who had tidied up and was refreshed, was led away again, and finally arrived at a spacious study room, lit with several white candles for lighting in rainy days, the room was clearly defined.It was also obvious that the person sitting at the desk was waiting, Lin Chengyu smiled when he saw it, originally he was reluctant to come to the door, but now he is playing this one?
"Lansheng Lin Yu, I pay my respects to Marshal Marshal." Isn't this person the current Marshal Li who holds the military power, has outstanding martial arts skills, and is extremely powerful?
Marshal Li frowned when he heard the words, got up and walked over, and with a flick of his left hand, he straightened Lin Chengyu who was bent over.But the right hand touched his cheek and said,
"Remove."
"..." Lin Chengyu had no choice but to take out a small bottle of potion from his arms, wipe it on in front of others, and changed his face once.
After Lin Chengyu changed his face back, Marshal Li put his hand behind his back, stared at Lin Chengyu up and down, and at the end, he came up with a summary,
"It's really like it!"
"With just this face, it's enough to poke at the court, and there is no need to say anything."
"Tell me, what do you want? I will help you."
"..." Lin Shengyu always felt that Marshal Li seemed very happy when he said this series of words to himself, so happy that it made people feel a little uneasy. "I want to get back what I lost." He replied tentatively.
"Okay—" Marshal Li became even happier when he heard this, and turned around, returned to the desk and took out a small jade pendant and handed it to Lin Chengyu.
"You must never give it to others. It's the same idea as your father's, I like it! You keep this jade pendant, and you can directly dispatch Ouchi's guards in case of emergency."
Lin Shengyu now fully understood that the token for mobilizing the Ouchi guards must have been entrusted by the lord of the country. Marshal Li, it turned out that his father had already made arrangements for it.
"My men and horses can't attack the palace easily, but if they want to surround the palace gate or something, it's fine."
"That's enough. Sheng Yu first thanked the marshal for his support."
"En. That's enough. I'll take you back and don't stay for long." Marshal Li got up and ordered people to arrange carriages and horses to take Lin Shengyu out.
Lin Shengyu was in a moment of anxiety, and couldn't care less about hesitation, so he stopped people and asked, "Sheng Yu still has something to ask, and I hope the marshal will tell you the truth—does the marshal know the whereabouts of the prince?"
"Prince? You mean Cao Xian. I don't know. Recently, I heard that he was smuggled to Dayuan." Marshal Li had an impatient expression on his face, hanging brightly—why ask this, it's a lot of trouble! The meaning of - was actually within Lin Chengyu's expectation, but seeing the sadness welling up in this situation was still uncontrollable for a while.Fortunately, Marshal Li didn't care about his reaction, but swiftly packed him together with the freshly baked clothes into a new carriage, and quietly transported him back to the inn.
☆, show your face
Only when the heavy rain first breaks can we have a moment of coolness in summer.On this day when Mr. Li Xiangye went to court, it happened that there was a burst of morning rain, which completely drove away the heat.The moist cool breeze in the small sedan really makes my whole body feel comfortable.Life was going well, Li Xiangye suddenly became interested, and decided to abduct him to Hongfulou for a drink.If you want to say that in all the capitals, there is always such a Hongfulou, which is dedicated to the first-class dishes and entertains high-ranking officials and dignitaries, so ordinary people can't easily enter the door.Mr. Li Xiangye has a reserved private room in this Hongfu building, facing the river by the window, the scenery is the most exquisite.Occasionally enjoying it by yourself or entertaining distinguished guests such as Yuan Shi is a pleasure and a lot of face.Li Xiangye liked it, so he became a frequent visitor here.As soon as he got off the sedan chair, seven or eight little girls came up with the shopkeeper, and finally the shopkeeper took him to the elegant room on the second floor.
"Master Xiang, you haven't been here for a while." The shopkeeper carefully led the way while looking for something to ask.
"It's hot, and there are a lot of things to do." Li Xiangye should be easy-going, thinking that he has been busy for a long time, but it was worth it, and everything went smoothly.
"That is, you are always responsible for the important affairs of the people of this country." The shopkeeper responded thoughtfully.
On the second floor of Hongfu Building, there is a circle of private rooms, surrounded by a spacious hall.The shopkeeper ingeniously set up a storytelling hall, where he would tell a couple of common anecdotes every day at a fixed time for the entertainment of distinguished guests after dinner.Guests on the first floor can sit in front of the hall with permission, and guests in the private room can listen with the door open, which is convenient.
When Li Xiangye followed the shopkeeper to the second floor, it coincided with the afternoon session of the storytelling hall.The old storyteller on the stage put his gavel away, Fan Er opened his mouth, and he spoke with full of air, every word and every word, scratching the bones of one's ears,
"Speaking of our crown prince, it is particularly predestined with the envoys of the Yuan Dynasty. Not to mention playing Xiao Yuan Chao Gang, as a proton, the friendship at that time, let's talk about the friendship at that time. Everyone knows that the crown prince was wronged and imprisoned at the beginning of the year. He disappeared. But in fact, with the help of the envoys of the Yuan Dynasty, he secretly transferred to Yuandu!..."
Li Xiangye usually likes this bookstore in Hongfulou very much, Xinxinran listened to a few words, the more he listened, the more frightened he was.
"You—you are so courageous, you dare to distort the facts and criticize the government!" Li Xiangye roared angrily, and pointed at the shopkeeper with a pale face, shaking uncontrollably.The storyteller, half frightened to death, rolled and knelt down in front of Li Xiangye, speaking incoherently in a panic: "This...this—everyone is talking about this, all kinds of small storybooks... ...everyone likes to hear it, and...and isn't this... pro-Yuan Shanyuan propaganda..."
Goodwill is a ghost, if you want to be goodwill, who can say that it's not good to get involved, but you have to use the prince as an issue?Li Xiangye was angry and anxious, and he didn't care about the shopkeeper and the storyteller. He shook his hands, went back downstairs, got up the sedan chair and went back to the house.After returning to the mansion, Master Xiang hurriedly sent a group of servants to inquire about the place, and quietly summoned his confidants to inquire. After an hour, he got thirty or forty kinds of gossip that had recently been circulated everywhere in the capital. Originally, the stories were bizarre, absurd, reasonable, utilitarian, and even affectionate, but the only constant was that the crown prince was secretly taken away by envoys of the Yuan Dynasty and entered the capital of Yuan.
People who want to be quietly forgotten are known in the streets and alleys, and two people who are the least connected are pulled together abruptly. It may not be easy.Li Xiangye pondered for a moment who was behind the scenes, thought of various possibilities, and finally sent a sedan chair to invite Lin Chengyu over.
"Half a month ago, the students mentioned that rumors about the envoy Yuan had spread, but it's a pity..." Lin Shengyu sighed helplessly after hearing this.Li Xiangye thought about it carefully, half a month ago, the dissenting voices in the court were completely eliminated, and the envoy of the Yuan Dynasty just sent back the draft proposal of the trade and exchange market, and there was also a letter of commendation from the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, which was very proud of the spring breeze. Sometimes, when I heard a bad reminder, I subconsciously ignored it. What's more, when it comes to Yuanshi, it's just a matter of coming, and some gossips don't bother to deal with him. Who would have thought that they would get involved with the crown prince? Now this is the situation , can only sigh in vain.
"What should I do? You must have a good plan, let me hear it." Mr. Xiang was embarrassed by his negligence, when he turned around and saw Lin Shengyu drinking tea quietly, he realized that he must have a reliable idea.
"Master Xiang, don't worry, there is still something to do about this matter." Lin Shengyu responded with a smile, "Master Xiang carefully check all the rumors, they all say that as soon as the crown prince was imprisoned, he was arranged to be taken to Yuandu by Yuan envoys. As far as the students know, ten days after the prince enters the palace, there is absolutely no way to send horses and horses out of Beijing or out of the customs. The prime minister can send someone to get a document explaining all the checkpoints, and the whole city will tell him, and he will be innocent. Stern words If you warn against dissent and cause trouble, you can stop."
Li Xiangye thought so, and arranged accordingly.Two days later, I successfully obtained the proof of the far and near checkpoints along the way, and issued a city-wide bulletin with convincing evidence, clarifying the matter and warning that rumors must be investigated.
All of a sudden, the busy streets and streets in the capital were crowded with people, and everyone rushed to see the list, and there were many discussions.
"What are you talking about? It was impossible to send it out at the beginning."
"How could the envoy alone steal the prince out of the palace prison? There must be someone else."
"Stupid? You must wait for the wind to pass before leaving."
"..."
When the news came back to the Xiangfu, Li Xiangye became confused and hurriedly sent someone to investigate again, but he quickly understood what was going on.It turns out that in just two days, the small story book has been updated!The focus of the replacement is how the envoy of the Yuan Dynasty took the prince out of the palace gates and away from the capital.From how to escape from the prison with someone's assistance, avoid the palace guards, wait for the right time to send out of the city, and then leave the customs, the words are so precise that Li Zhimu even talks about farting. How can there be such a hole in the wall that is easy to dig?How can there be such a loose guard?Flying over the eaves and walking on the wall is whimsical.But everyone loves this bizarre plot and believes in this tortuous story, and you see, there are now official proofs: it was impossible to go out of the city directly at the beginning, and you had to hide in various places.Reasonable, conscientious words.
"..." What an oolong show!
Lin Shengyu came to the door to apologize, saying that he was all to blame for his lack of consideration and was put on by his opponent.This person is really insidious and cunning, so be careful.
Li Xiangye sent the servants of the Dali Temple to trace the source of the novel, but was quickly beaten back by Marshal Li who was devoted to maintaining order. He sent a message saying that it is okay to trace, but it is not allowed to arrest people to disturb the capital.
Then how to check?Does this still need to be checked?It's clear who is playing tricks behind the scenes.But this clarity is the most headache for Mr. Li, what can we do with him?
What was even more troublesome was that after the rumors that the prince was in the Yuan Dynasty became more and more widespread, the faction of generals who were originally silent in the court began to forcefully ask to go out along the way to investigate the whereabouts of the prince.Moreover, it affected a few officials who had already been subdued, saying that the prince should be found as soon as possible and the country should be rectified.Li Xiangye made an exception and appointed Lin Shengyu the position of servant, to discuss matters before the court.Lin Shengyu said that the people are the most important, the king is the least, the state affairs are serious, and the military will hurt the people. The court refuted the idea of sending troops out of the customs, and his words were sharp, and temporarily suppressed the generals. Li Xiangguo was very satisfied.
But within a few days, a message came from Xishu, causing waves again.
The Western Shu Army urgently delivered the letter, and it was delivered directly to the military aircraft office by express horse for eight hundred miles.Although the civil servants in charge of the Military Aircraft Department are also from Li Xiangye's faction, but when the Military Aircraft Department is involved in military affairs, if Marshal Li speaks, he has to listen. The content in the book is also too important, and I can't hide it for a long time.So on the second morning morning event, the content of the biography was read out at the beginning. It was two short sentences written by Yu Penghai himself: I was shocked to hear that the prince was imprisoned in Yuandu, and I was very angry. Who can bear it?The prince's guards rushed to Beijing to ask for the will to save people, and then sent troops out of the customs to ask for help.
"Impulse, the courage of a man! Even if the crown prince is really in Yuandu, he doesn't need anyone to save him. Ten thousand soldiers and horses will return as soon as they say they want, and they will work hard to mobilize the masses. They are too ignorant! Well, everyone is talking about how to appease these reckless people. " Li Xiangye made a few words on the platform to set the purpose, pretending to casually look at the position of Lin Shengyu at the end of the row, thinking that this matter is easy to handle, and the next words are all from the prince's envoys in the Yuan Dynasty. After helping Yuandu, the relationship is friendly. It cannot be said that he is imprisoned. There is no reason to send troops. If they insist on finding someone, they can only send envoys. Lin Shilang is considerate and speaks beautifully. Let him speak out most.
As expected, Lin Shengyu had a very wink, and as soon as Xiangye finished his sentence, he bowed out of the line and took the conversation steadily: "According to my opinion——"
"General Yu's concern is very reasonable. The crown prince is very likely to be imprisoned in Yuandu. For the current plan, raising troops to ask for help is the only way. All the adults should immediately discuss the Yuan Xiwen, so that the crown prince can act immediately after entering Beijing."
"..." There was no distinction between civil and martial arts on and off the stage, everyone turned their heads and looked at each other in blank dismay, full of doubts.Did you hear me wrong?Or is Lin Shilang in front of you not Lin Shilang?Lin Shilang has always been advocating goodwill to the great yuan, but he wants to send troops to attack the yuan. What is wrong with this?
"What's the meaning of Aiqing? Everyone is saying that the Yuan envoy helped the prince, so why imprison him?" Li Xiangye was stunned when he heard the completely different words, wondering if it was a strange move to suppress first and then raise , had no choice but to respond in a daze.
"Help? Only ignorant people will believe this kind of rhetoric. The prince has been in court for three years. As we all know, he has no intention of being friendly to Da Yuan. He is in the same situation as Yuan envoys. How can he help each other? How can we say that it is Yuan It is more likely that the envoys will take advantage of the danger, and the possibility of captives going away will be even greater. Moreover, when the king of the country is gone and there is no one, how can the prince be willing to abandon the country without a plan?"
"You...you...you openly slandered Yuan envoys and sabotaged the goodwill plan. What is your intention?" Li Xiangye was furious, pointing at Lin Chengyu, fearful speculation filled his heart.
Lin Shengyu met Li Xiangye's gradually panicked eyes, and came to the front of the stage step by step, his eyes were stern, and his words were firm, each sentence confirmed Xiangye's guess, "Ask me what I mean? I have to ask, taking advantage of the king's illness. What is your intention to recapture the prince and put him in prison? What is your intention to let the prince disappear without asking what is your intention? Colluding with Yuan envoys, what is your intention to make excessive concessions to the Yuan? Li Zhimu, you betrayed the country and begged for glory and signed Bu Pingdiao About, dare to argue with everyone?"
Lin Shengyu took out a roll of paper from his arms, turned around and read it to everyone in the audience one by one. It was the terms of the trade and exchange with Yuan that had been drawn up earlier, and the distribution of benefits in it was obviously very unfair.Lin Shengyu read one sentence, and the discussion in the audience increased. This document was negotiated privately by Li Xiangye, Yuan Envoy and some of his cronies. In order to thank Yuan Envoy for his efforts in the court and for the follow-up support of Da Yuan, he did transfer it. most of the benefits.It is very difficult to justify such an announcement to the public.Lin Shengyu can't be allowed to talk like that anymore!Li Xiangye sternly shouted: "Bold and lunatic, how dare you make trouble in front of the court. Come here, take it down quickly!"
A team of inner palace guards quickly came from outside the court, and quickly approached Lin Shengyu's side.Lin Chengyu casually threw away the scroll in his hand, and stood with his hands folded.The two guards grabbed Lin Shengyu's arm, one left and one right, Lin Shengyu looked coldly and remained motionless.The guards dragged them back outside, approaching the steps outside the court step by step, Lin Chengyu neither struggled nor spoke.
Suddenly, a person jumped out from the middle of the military officer's lineup, dodged towards the arresting guards, kicked a group of guards over with a few kicks, and grabbed Lin Shengyu in his arms.The surrounding civil and military officials dispersed in a circle in shock, leaving an open space around the two people who embraced each other, so almost everyone in the court could clearly see Lin Shilang who was hugged in his arms quickly lifted up. Hand, touched the military officer's face, a brand new face was revealed, the eyeballs fell out of shock, everyone shouted in their hearts with dull expressions: "Ah, ah, The prince—it’s the prince!"
☆, enthroned
Cao Xian let go of Lin Shengyu in his arms with a gloomy expression,
