Chapter 47: Palace in the Palace
After Xu You said goodbye and left, there were only Zhan Wenjun, Qian Qin and Bai Hua in the huge hall. Qian Qin whispered: "Madam, since Xu You came to Qiantang and lived in a corner, what else can you do? He even paid attention to the movements in Jinling? Wouldn't he overestimate his abilities?"
Zhan Wenjun sat upright and said, "This child has a lofty ambition, which is beyond your control. You are not allowed to disrespect others in the future, do you know?"
Qianqin bit her lip, lowered her head slightly, and said with her hands: "Here!"
"Go, let the ship workers in Jinling temporarily put down everything they have and try their best to inquire about the subsequent changes caused by the second order of the East Palace, including the palace value arrangements of the inner palace, the statements of the ministers in the court, the rumors in the market and the response of the East Palace, no matter how big or small, there is no omission."
Qianqin bowed and bowed, flashed into the side door, and headed towards the boat pavilion. Baihua laughed and said, "Madam, you are getting more and more harsh to Qianqin."
Zhan Wenjun sighed, a look of fatigue flashed in his eyes, but the weakness of this moment quickly disappeared from the perseverance in his temperament, and said, "Be stricter, it is for her future. If her temperament does not change, she will marry a husband and not be loved by her husband's family in the future, wouldn't she still suffer in the rest of her life?"
Baihua didn't care and said, "What's the point of being a stinky man? If you don't marry, you won't marry. We keep following our wife and are having fun all day long. Isn't that good?"
Zhan Wenjun burst into laughter, and his usual heroic posture suddenly turned into a gentle spring breeze and rain, looking beautiful and incomparable, saying, "Silly girl, you are still young and don't understand the love between men and women. In your life, how can you spend it just by playing?"
"But Qianqin told me that there is no good man..."
Zhan Wenjun frowned and said, "Qianqin is different from you, don't listen to her. Also, when I am not here, if the Concubine Shen asks you to see her alone, try not to go."
"I understand!" Baihua held his little finger and said blankly: "Madam, what is love? Is men really that good?"
Zhan Wenjun got up, walked to the door, gently holding the wooden edge with his right hand. The seductive back that attracted thoughts was full of indescribable loneliness and loneliness at this moment.
The stranger is like a jade, and the young master is unparalleled in the world.
But the strange man is still there, and the young master is no longer in the world. In this life, unless Zhan Wenjun married another, he is destined to be out of luck.
Baihua seemed to understand something. Although she was ignorant, she was extremely smart. Her wife was not married yet and was as old as a water, but she could only pass away like flowing water.
As a woman, there is nothing more sad than this!
A sudden pain in her heart, and two lines of clear tears flowed down her cheeks!
Why she doesn't know why she cries,
I don’t understand lovesickness in my life, but I know lovesickness, which will hurt lovesickness!
The word "love" hurts people like this!
Wan Qi came in from outside, first seeing Zhan Wenjun's gaze dazed, then seeing Baihua's tears flowing, his body paused, a faint sadness flashed across his eyes, then turned to coldness, walked over quietly, and said:
"It's windy, it's cold outside, ma'am, be careful!"
Zhan Wenjun woke up from a trance and said, "Are you back? Did that person call me?"
Wan Qi nodded and said, "He confessed that he was the Ten Generals of Yangzhou. He was instructed by Li Yifeng to hijack his wife. But..."
"Um?"
"I guess he doesn't have the courage to testify in person, but he is just a delaying strategy that can't be punished... It's useless to get a confession. His body is covered with scars, and it's obvious that he's a slander..."
Zhan Wenjun said: "It's okay. If you don't fight for this person for a while, you will sooner or later settle the score with the Tianshi Master!"
Xu You went upstairs, He Ruji sat on the ground, and asked lazily: "Why have you been there for so long? Have you heard of any news?"
"The second leader of the Prince's Eastern Palace was removed by the Lord!"
He Ru was shocked and stood up, saying, "Take it serious?"
"The news sent by the boat pavilion...what is this boat pavilion?"
He Ru casually explained: "The intelligence agency established by Guo Mian is on the surface to collect similarities and prices of grain and goods in various places, but in fact it is likely to be a secret soul set up by King Jiangxia. I don't need to say what it is for, right?"
"That should be more reliable. What happened to the prince? He even made the Lord angry so much that he disregarded the world's shock and abolished the Second Order of the Eastern Palace?"
The two simple words in the East Palace are actually a small court independent of the outer dynasty. Since ancient times, the emperor and the prince have always been in love and kill each other, relying on each other, but they are careful to beware of each other. "The Book of Rites? Fang Ji": "There is no two days, there is no two kings, there is no two masters, and there is no two superiors." The emperor is afraid that the prince will be powerful, and the later years are miserable, and the prince is afraid that he will not be able to protect himself and abandon halfway. Therefore, in the time and space before Xu You, during the more than a hundred years of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the second order of the East Palace was laid off many times and was reset many times. The ups and downs represent the struggle and compromise between imperial power and inheritance rights.
The so-called second commander of the prince is like the two guards in the Qin and Han dynasties. They are divided into left and right guards, with a chief of the fifth rank, and a thousand stones. The guards lead the chief to lead one army, with one army of 2,500 to 3,000 troops, elite armor, powerful crossbows, hundreds of swords, purple gold spears, first-class equipment and strong combat power. They are the prince's personal soldiers and the most powerful force that can be controlled by themselves.
"The prince is unbearable. As everyone expects, it is difficult for An Zidao to tolerate so many years. Ha, since the second order has been slapped, the position of crown prince is about to begin to fluctuate..."
Xu You said: "The prince has been in power for many years. How can he not have one or two wise men under his command? When facing dangerous situations, he will inevitably come up with a way to escape!"
"The only thing that can be used in the Eastern Palace is that the prince's wife Wei Tianzhi was born in a humble background and his talent is still acceptable. The prince has the kindness of a simple person to him, so he vowed to repay him to death. He is very loyal."
He Ru is unruly, and he must be praised by him. Xu You felt that this name sounds familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he remembered that Li Zhi mentioned this person when he came to visit him. He went to Yixing in Jinling and asked Li Zhi to force him to leave as soon as possible.
"Oi Tianyu..."
Xu You recited it silently for a moment, and He Ru sneered: "Feng Hu, you said, a pillar is sagging and shaking, what should I do?"
Zuo Qi smiled and said, "This is the right person. I have done hard labor on the river bank when I was not in the army before. If the pillars are loose and the soil is filled with compaction, you can tie them up and fix them with three iron chains."
"Not bad! You need to fill the soil, but where does the soil come from? The tax on the rented rice of Tianshidao has given us the answer! The contemporary Tianshi who can move Tianshidao will break the situation, Wei Tianzhi does not have such courage and heroic spirit. There must be someone else who offers advice to the prince!"
Zuo Qi was shocked and said: "Maybe Sun Guan suddenly imposed a tax on renting rice, just to give it to the prince..."
"If you want a stable reserve, money and people are indispensable. With money, you can fill the holes and keep the building from falling. Only when the building is safe can you win people's hearts. With people, you have three iron chains and turn the tide."
He Ru's face seemed to have a light, and he was so excited that he couldn't help himself, saying, "If you think about it a little further, with the financial support of Tianshidao, the second rate of the East Palace who was removed from the openly slashed may not be able to secretly reset it in a secret place. Once it changes, it will be a secret chess that determines the outcome..."
Xu You's expression moved. Although He Ru's imagination was a little bigger, it was indeed as he said. The prince had a perverse personality. If someone encouraged him behind his back and hated the emperor, it would be impossible to do anything traitorous.
If there really is one day, the State of Chu will never have any peace again, so why not let it go!
