Chapter 95: The Lost Dog, The Wolf of Thousand Miles
"I'm here, please get off the bus when I'm at the place!"
He Ru came out of the carriage, stretched his waist lightly, turned his head to look at the view in the yard, and said, "Where is this?"
Luanbi smiled and said, "Princess Xiurong's Mansion!"
"Princess House?"
"You can't be considered out of danger now. I need time to discuss with the Lord to see how to place it. During this period, only the Princess Mansion in Pingcheng can protect you..."
No matter what situation He Ru was in, he could not change his sarcastic and mean nature and said, "The princess is too busy to take care of herself. Do you still have the energy to protect others?"
"Although I can't take care of myself, I am still in my hometown, with friends relying on me, and I have a sect to die. I sacrificed my life for thousands of miles and fled, alone, and I am in danger of being able to keep my mouth shut, but I only know how to make things happen?"
Yuan Mulan walked out of the main hall, and her handsome figure showed infinite charm in the sun. She looked at He Ru coldly, with a very unkind look.
He Ru didn't care, and put his sleeves on both hands and smiled, "I'm as anxious as a dog who is straying. If I can't play tricks on my mouth, what's the point of living?"
He thought he was a loser, but Yuan Mulan was not good at using the word "王机" as he seemed too ungraceful, with cold eyes, and passed by, "Luanbi, I'll go see Master Kang Tian, you can settle him!"
When Yuan Mulan left, Luanniao shrugged and said, "What are you doing for her? It's too unwise..."
"I just want to see what the princess is thinking about Qilang..."
"Oh?" Speaking of this, the phoenix was no longer sleepy and said, "What do you think?"
"She was not disgusted by what I did in Jiangdong, but she was disgusted with me, so I put Qilang in danger. Are you surprised?"
Luan Bird laughed and said, "So you have to be more careful. If you provoke Xu You, he may take into account his old love and will not come to kill you, but a woman will not reason with you..."
Two days later, Yuanyu summoned He Ru, and Luanniao took him into Taicheng through the secret passage of the Hou Guan Cao. The two talked all night, and then the Secretariat issued an order to appoint He Ru as the prince's guest, in charge of the attendant's advice, and were the fourth rank.
He Ru received the seal and official uniforms, and first went to visit Li Xiu, the prince who was in charge of the affairs of the Eastern Palace, and then he introduced the prince.
Yuanlong, the prince of the Northern Wei Dynasty, wore a Hu robe and had a fat appearance, which was not similar to Yuanyu. Yuanyu studied diligently throughout his life, did not put down the scrolls, was smart, and was proficient in the Five Classics. He did not forget to preach the scriptures or the Tao, regardless of whether in the carriage or above the military.
But Yuanlong was irritable by nature and was most disgusted with reading. He only had strong arms, could drive strong bows, hunt horses all day long, and whipped officials and servants at any time. It was still the style of the Xianbei tribe.
Of course, he also resisted the sinicization promoted by Yuan Yu, ignored the regulations that the court was not allowed to wear Hu clothes and speak Hu language, and often violated the ban in the East Palace and punished the palace servants who abide by the ban.
He Ru knelt down and said, "See the Prince."
"Raise your head!"
He Ru looked up and accepted Yuan Long's condescending scrutiny.
That feeling is like selecting animals in West City!
"It was the emperor who poisoned the island barbarians?"
"yes!"
"What poison is used? It's so powerful?"
He Ru made up a name casually.
Yuan Taki's eyes lit up and he said, "Is there any?"
This is the peerless poison that Jiang Ziyan has put in the box. There is only one serving in the world, and it will be gone after using it. But He Ru seemed to be ready, and took out a small and exquisite porcelain-white jade bottle from his arms without changing his face and presented it respectfully.
“This is the last bottle.”
Yuanlong took it and looked up and down excitedly, and was about to order someone to bring the death row prisoner to test the medicine. Li Xiu coughed lightly and stopped it in time, saying, "Prince, the poisonous medicine should not be hidden in the hands of the crown prince. If the master heard about it, he would be punished again..."
Yuanlong hesitated for a while and returned the jade bottle to He Ru. His expression could not hide his disappointment, and he suddenly lost interest and said, "Go down!"
After He Ru left, Yuan Long suddenly seemed to have a different person, with a gloomy face and said, "Sir, my father didn't ask for my opinion in advance. What is the purpose of inserting He Ru into the East Palace?"
Li Xiu said lightly: "What is the purpose? How can the prince not know? In the past two years, you have been disrespectful to the master. First, you promoted the sinicization. You strongly opposed it, then killed Gao Teng and seized the power of the great surname. You also opposed it, and then respected the Tao and destroyed the Buddha. Do you still object... He is a person who fled north and has no foundation in Pingcheng. He can only rely on the master to survive. Therefore, he won the trust of the master and sent him to the East Palace to monitor the prince..."
"Supervise me?"
Yuanlong said viciously: "I will take his dog's life first!"
"Killing him now will only attract more suspicion from the Lord."
"Then you say, I can only endure him?"
"That may not be... In two days, I will arrange for him to do more things, then pick out mistakes and punish them, and then pass these into the Lord's ears through various channels, so that the Lord feels that he is unwilling to do things, is too ambitious, and has nothing to do. At that time, he will be the chance to kill him..."
The prince said coldly: "Okay, that's it!"
He Ru left the East Palace and went directly to find Luanniao, saying that there was a big deal, and asked her to lead her into the palace to meet the saint again.
After Yuan Yu repelled his left and right, He Ru raised his robe and knelt down, saying, "Crown Prince, Li Xiu, it's time to kill him!"
Yuan Yu was shocked. He asked He Ru to go to the Eastern Palace. First, to advise the prince, to avoid doing anything out of order, and to actively assist the prince in handling various state affairs; second, to put a spy on the prince's side, similar to the role of housekeeping, is actually to tell the prince that you should be careful in your words and actions and not cause trouble for me.
However, on the first day of taking office, He Ru was about to impeach the Prince of the Eastern Palace, Secretary Zhan?
"Why should I kill?"
"Li Xiu dares to alienate His Majesty and the Prince!"
"What?"
Yuan Yu's face darkened and he said, "You are honest and honest!"
He Ru retelled what happened in the East Palace and had a conversation with the three of them, word by word, without any falsehood.
Yuan Yu frowned and said, "In this way, isn't Li Xiu admonishing the prince?
"Your Majesty, Li Xiu's original words are 'The poisonous medicine should not be hidden in the hands of the crown prince. If the lord hears it, he will be punished again'. The implicit meaning is that the prince does not not hide poison, but is afraid that his majesty will punish him when he knows it, but why are he afraid that his majesty will know that there is poison in the crown prince's hand? Thinking about it carefully, my heart is cold..."
He Ru kowtowed heavily and said angrily: "As a minister, if you want to advise, you should quote the scriptures and classics. In view of the past, you clearly tell the prince: Where is the mistake of hiding this highly poisonous medicine? How should you correct it in the future, instead of dividing the king and ministers, and estrangeing the father and son... Your Majesty knows that you should be tempted by the prince and use softness to overcome hardness. The more you force him, the more he will be rebellious. In the past two years, the prince repeatedly violates His Majesty's will. Isn't it because there are slanderous ministers like Li Xiu by his side?"
rational!
Yuan Yu was somewhat convinced by He Ru, but Li Xiu was always famous and could not kill him based on this matter alone. He said, "Your dear is intent. I will issue an order to remove Li Xiu from his official position and let him return to his home to do research and never use it."
He Ru raised his head and said, "Does Your Majesty think Li Xiu is a foolish person?
"Li Xiucong is famous and can argue, and is familiar with classics and history, and has great ambitions. He is famous in the capital. Even if I am foolish, it is not his turn."
"For this reason, I know this guy, which is really bad! He knew that I was assigned by His Majesty to assist the prince. If there is any love, I will report to the master, but he still lies in front of the minister, distracted the king and his ministers, and separated the father and son. You can imagine how he should induce the prince in a place where the minister cannot hear it. In the long run, I am afraid that there will be a tragic incident that I can't bear to say..."
Yuan Yu was shocked and angry and said, "As my dear said, this guy is so vicious. If you hadn't seen through it, I would have been deceived by him. The person who came to pass on my will and went to the East Palace to ask Li Xiu if he said, did he say 'The poison should not be hidden in the hands of the crown prince. If the master heard it, he would be punished again', and he would only answer yes or no, and he would not be allowed to speak cunningly and vindicate!"
The eunuch who was ordered immediately went to the East Palace, turned around for a while, and said, "Li Xiu replied, he did say this!"
"well!"
Yuan Yu was furious and said, "Go and announce the imperial edict again and give Li Xiu a poisonous wine... Wait, my dear, what about your poison, I want Li Xiu to taste this poison yourself."
He Ru took out the jade bottle and quickly apologized, saying, "I don't know the etiquette anymore, and I dare not give the prince a highly toxic medicine. But the prince was too anxious to ask questions at that time. I was just a new arrival and could not disobey, so I had to give the sleeping pills I made to the prince. After taking this medicine, I would fall asleep as soon as possible and would not hurt my life."
Yuan Yu signaled the eunuch to take the jade bottle, looked at He Ru with appreciation, and said, "Your dear is quite aware of the degree and advancement and retreat. Compared to Li Xiu, you are more suitable for the position of the Eastern Palace. But you are suddenly promoted to the Prince Zhan and ranked third. There are obstacles. Let's do this. After Li Xiu's death, the Prince Zhan and the Prince Zhan are vacant. You will be the first of the four Prince's guests and temporarily handle the affairs of the Eastern Palace."
"Thank you, your Majesty!"
Afterwards, Li Xiu was given poisoned wine, and he didn't know what was going on before he died. When the prince heard the news, he hurriedly went to the palace to plead for mercy, but was punished by Yuanyu to return to the Eastern Palace for ten days, listening to the great scholars telling him the "Book of Rites", "Book of Rites" and "Book of Filial Piety" every day.
The prince cried bitterly, and the friendship between him and Li Xiu was quite deep, but he hated He Ru to death because of this.
What about He Ru?
He Ru didn't care whether the prince's feelings were hurt or not. Who was he? The prince pretended to be a murderous intent. Since you were going to be the first day of the lunar calendar, he would first be the fifteenth.
Don’t think that after leaving Jiangdong, he is really like a stray dog. A wolf travels thousands of miles, but he is still a wolf that no one dares to mess with!
The streets of Pingcheng are always filled with dry sand and dust. You can smell the smell of sheep from time to time in the dry and hot air, but He Ru is very used to it because he grew up here since he was a child.
In fact, this is his real hometown!
"Your husband is a good method!"
The phoenix appeared beside He Ru. She sighed and walked forward side by side with He Ru, saying, "You are very brave. I know that no one dares to kill the An family. But your courage is really even greater than I thought. You killed the prince Zhan Shi on the first day of taking office... He Langjun, please tell me, one day, will I regret bringing you from Jinling to Pingcheng?"?
(I said before that the last volume will not be too long, and I am still choosing the finished node. Thank you everyone!)
