Chapter 176 Conspiracy
Guo Rong said: "No, I'm just thinking, how can I afford to take on what Master Duhang said so well?" Wanli said: "It's not important, it's not important. The so-called marriage of eight characters, fortune telling and fortune-telling, trusting will be effective, and if you don't believe in it, you won't. I have never believed in these things very much. However, it's okay to believe in good things like you and the princess."
Guo Rong said, "What the emperor said," Wanli asked, "Hold up, look at me from the front, let me see your appearance." Guo Rong immediately straightened his back and looked at the gauze head-on. For a while, Wanli smiled and said, "As the emperor said, the handsome family is indeed a rare handsome man. No wonder the emperor is fascinated by you." Guo Rong didn't know what to say, so he had to laugh a few times. Wanli said, "Where is the Lingzun Lingtang in Qing family? On the day of his wedding with the princess, he has to invite all the parents and elders in the family to the capital to gather."
Guo Rong said, "Your Majesty, I have been an orphan since I was a child, without a father or a mother, and I don't know what elders there are." Wanli was surprised with a "Oh" and said, "So that's it. It's true that heroes have gone out of poor families since ancient times, and this is even more rare. However, since it is my brother-in-law, I will never let you still be an orphan. I want to help you find your biological parents. Tell me, what birthmarks do you have on your body, or what characteristics your parents have, where you live, etc., and I will post the imperial list and the people in the world will help you find your biological parents." Guo Rong said, "Your Majesty, I have no memory. There is no need to go through such a big trouble. I am used to days without a father or a mother, so it's better not to look for them."
Wanli was silent for a while and said, "Well, since your family has made this decision, I will no longer force you. However, I will be wronged and the princess during this period." Guo Rong was surprised and asked, "I wonder what the aggrieved the emperor said?" Wanli said, "According to customs, you cannot meet each other during this period." Guo Rong said, "Everything is my confidant." Wanli said, "As a guard, I am my confidant. He will live in General Shangyi's mansion to protect your family. If there is anything, it is better to have a look after it."
Guo Rong was shocked: This was obvious surveillance, but it was said to be "responsive"! How did Ren Guangming become a confidant from a prisoner in a short time? He wanted to say something, but because the other party was the emperor, he had to agree. Wanli yawned and said, "Brother-in-law, I am a little sleepy, I want to take a nap, so you can retreat." After Guo Rong bowed out of the imperial study with Eunuch Zhao.
Ren Guangming was waiting outside the door. When he saw the two of them coming out, he immediately greeted him with a smile and asked, "General Guo, have you seen the emperor? What did the emperor say?" Guo Rong glanced at him and said, "See." Ren Guangming asked, "What is the emperor's order?" Guo Rong stammered, but Eunuch Zhao said, "Ren Guard, you have to work hard for you during this period. You are temporarily living in General Shangyi's mansion to serve and protect the future prince-consort." Ren Guangming looked embarrassed and said, "There are many experts in General Guo's mansion, so where do you need the protection of the subordinates?" Eunuch Zhao said in a strange voice: "Do you dare to disobey the emperor's oral order?" Ren Guangming immediately said seriously: "I dare not, I am the empress."
Guo Rong was unhappy and felt that there must be something strange about it, but he couldn't tell one of them. He asked Eunuch Zhao, "Eunuch Zhao, can the princess be in the palace now?" Eunuch Zhao looked at him with a difficult face and said, "The princess is in the palace, but it may be inconvenient to meet. Didn't the emperor say that you are not allowed to meet during this period?" Guo Rong looked at him in a daze. Eunuch Zhao hurriedly turned his head away and did not dare to look at Guo Rong. Guo Rong asked, "Although the emperor said this, I don't want to meet the princess. As long as you can listen to her voice and say a few words to her,
Yes. As long as you don’t meet, you can do it across the wall. I hope Eunuch Zhao will make things convenient." Eunuch Zhao became embarrassed: "General Guo must not make things difficult for us as slaves. If the emperor blames it, the slave will not be able to afford it." Guo Rong wanted to say something, Ren Guangming grabbed Guo Rong and pulled him forward, and said as he walked: "General Guo, the official stayed in the palace for a few days. You know a little bit of the rules here. Don’t make things difficult for Eunuch Zhao. If the emperor blames it, no one can afford it." So Guo Rong had to leave the palace and return home with Ren Guangming.
Back at General Shangyi's mansion, everyone else avoided it first, and only Huang Fang came out to greet him. Seeing Ren Guangming still coming back, he was so surprised that he couldn't stop talking. Ren Guangming looked at Huang Fang and asked with a smile: "I think this is General Shang Shan? Is the polite official?" As he said that, he still polite. Huang Fang hurriedly returned the tribute with a confused look on his face and said: "So it's the head of Ren, I have long been admired for a long time!" Ren Guangming said: "General Huang, the lord is currently the guard of the imperial front, and the old affairs in the world have already been cut off in one knife. Please do not call it wrong again." Huang Fang was stunned and said: "Senior sister, Ren Shuwei is now a celebrity around the emperor, and he is here specifically
We must be careful when the mansion monitors our every move." Ren Guangming was distracted by Guo Rong's words and said, "General Guo is very serious. We are all the ministers of the emperor. What the emperor told us to do? Can those who are ministers still disobey?" Huang Fang didn't know what happened, and he thought about it. He immediately smiled faintly and said, "So that's it. Ren Guard will definitely rise to the top in the future. In the future, the kings, princes, generals and ministers will be no problem." Ren Guangming said awkwardly: "I am old, General Shangyi, General Shangshan, two young and promising generals, are not comparable to me." Huang Fang didn't want to talk to him, so he said goodbye and went back to his room.
So, Guo Rong arranged for Ren Guangming to live in the same yard with him, and only the two of them lived in the yard. After entering the house, Guo Rong sat cross-legged on the bed while exercising his skills while thinking. When Ren Guangming saw Guo Rong staying in the house, he felt embarrassed to walk around, and stayed in the house, quietly listening to the movements in the next room. Because he knew his mission, he was to follow Guo Rong at all times.
In the evening, Guo Rong came out for a walk in the back garden. As soon as he walked out of the house for a while, he saw Ren Guangming following him out of the house. The two met him. Ren Guangming smiled faintly and said, "General Guo, this yard is quite elegant." Guo Rong said, "In such an elegant place, can you tell me what I want to do most?" Ren Guangming looked confused and asked, "Please tell me." Guo Rong said, "I like to show off a few moves with masters." As he said, he shouted loudly, jumped towards Ren Guangming, and raised his palm in the air. Ren Guangming saw that the other party had not used weapons, and he heard that he was just "getting" in his mouth, so he did not dare to use weapons. He immediately avoided it, threw the weapons aside, and said, "Then let the officer play a few moves with the general." Guo Rong used the palm techniques he learned in Tianmen Mountain and fought with the other party.
Guo Rong's Tianmen Mountain palm technique was average. Ren Guangming saw that the other party was clicking everywhere and gradually believed that it was indeed a "getting". After more than a hundred moves, the two fought hard to distinguish. Suddenly, Ren Guangming slapped his palm, and Guo Rong couldn't avoid it and hit the chest. Ren Guangming hurriedly stopped, and still heard Guo Rong's "ah" scream and fell to the ground. Ren Guangming was shocked and rushed over to check. As soon as he leaned over and reached out to take Guo Rong's pulse, Guo Rong turned over like lightning and pointed at the other party's big acupoint, and also pointed at the sleepy acupoint. Ren Guangming had not had time to exclaim and had already fallen slowly. It turned out that Guo Rong deliberately pretended to fall down in the palm, which was to lead Ren Guangming over and click on his acupoint when he was not paying attention.
Seeing Ren Guangming fall, Guo Rong used his skills to touch the other party's sleepy acupoints and other key acupoints in order to ensure that he could not break through the acupoints with his skills in a short period of time. Ren Guangming's body shook slightly for a few times, and then he did not move. Guo Rong smiled proudly and said, "This is called 'It is easy to avoid hidden arrows and cannot be prevented'. Old man, young people teach you this trick, but remember. Hahaha!" As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a person jumping down from the roof and looking closely, it was Huang Fang. Huang Fang said in surprise: "Junior brother, a good idea!" Guo Rong and Huang Fang carried Ren Guangming on the ground into the room where he was sleeping and placed it on the bed. After closing the door, they walked back to the back garden.
Huang Fang asked the reason, and Guo Rong came one by one. After hearing this, Huang Fang murmured, "I'm afraid there is a fraud, so what should I do now." Guo Rong became embarrassed: "Senior sister, I don't know what to do. What do you think of?" Huang Fang smiled and said, "There is someone who must know what to do?" Guo Rong was stunned. Seeing her proud smile, he suddenly remembered someone and said happily: "Yes, he must know." But he immediately became embarrassed again and murmured, "But how can we see him? Now the outside of the mansion must be full of the emperor's eyeliner. Once we go out, we will definitely be discovered. Even if he comes in, we will be discovered. How can we be able to be unaware of it?" Huang Fang was at a loss.
Suddenly, another person jumped down from the roof. It turned out that it was Yan Rufeng. Yan Rufeng said, "Rong'er, I have a plan." It turned out that he, like Huang Fang, found Ren Guangming followed Guo Rong back to the house, and felt that something must be strange, so he kept lurking in the yard, waiting for the opportunity. Yan Rufeng saw everything in his eyes, and the conversation between Guo Rong and Huang Fang was also heard in his heart. Guo Rong asked, "General Yan, what are the tricks? Please come quickly!" Yan Rufeng turned around and asked, "What do you think I am?" Guo Rong and Huang Fang were stunned, not knowing what the deep meaning was. Yan Rufeng smiled and said, "Don't you think I am and Ren Guangming's figures are very similar?" Guo Rong and Huang Fang still didn't understand and murmured, "So what?" Yan Rufeng whispered. After hearing this, they felt very wonderful, so they decided to act according to the plan and prepare for each.
When it was dark, Yan Rufeng changed into Ren Guangming's clothes, took his long sword, and Guo Rong sent him to the gate. The two stood at the door and said goodbye to Huang Fang. But Guo Rong said, "Senior Sister, I will go back when I go." Huang Fang said, "Okay, Senior Sister is at home and wait for you and Ren Guard to come back." They deliberately said the three words "Ren Guard" loudly, just to make the "eyeline" that might be ambushing around him hear it. Guo Rong called
The carriage was parked directly at the gate. Guo Rong took Yan Rufeng's hand, and Yan Rufeng followed Guo Rong behind him, lowered his head and touched his belt. In this way, others could not see his face clearly. Guo Rong first sent him onto the carriage and then got onto the carriage, and ran "thump" to run. Huang Fang stood at the door and saw the carriage walking away, murmured: "I didn't expect that my junior brother and the guards fell into the same state as they saw each other, and the two of them were as intimate as brothers."
The carriage arrived at the Zhang Mansion one after another. Guo Rong shouted at the gate: "Please send me the message to Lord Zhang, General Shangyi Guo Rong and the guards with swords in front of the imperial guard Ren Guangming asked for a visit." Seeing that Guo Rong was a distinguished guest of Zhang Mansion, he did not need to send me the message to him, he immediately invited the two of them to the mansion. Guo Rong took Yan Rufeng directly to Zhang Juzheng's study, and called Zhang Jianxiu and Xiong Feibai to introduce and explain the reason one by one.
After hearing this, Zhang Juzheng thought and murmured, "There must be something strange. The emperor has lived in the palace since he was a child. He will never appoint the wild people in the world, and it is even more impossible to use such people to blatantly monitor important officials in the court." Guo Rong was even more confused and bowed, "Mr. Zhang, I really don't know what to do, please give me instructions." Zhang Juzheng seemed to remember something and murmured, "The emperor has been sitting in a white veil in the past two days, and his temperament has suddenly changed drastically. He always talks about me for no reason, and does not trust me in my words.
It is to easily overturn the previously agreed result of the rebellion between King Chu and King Yi. In any case, the King of Chu must be rectified on the ground. I just couldn't figure out the reason. I didn't expect to take action against you again, which is really puzzling." Guo Rong asked in surprise: "Mr. Zhang, the emperor treats you the same way? I was very strange yesterday. Why did the Lord suddenly change his attitude towards King Chu suddenly?" Zhang Juzheng said: "I guessed that the emperor changed his mind and wanted to kill the King of Chu, so I planned how to protect the King of Chu, so I came up with this bad strategy. Alas!" As he said that, he sighed.
Yan Rufeng said: "Thank you for your trust and love for the prince. Unfortunately, the emperor is now monitoring General Shangyi's mansion. We dare not act without permission, so we don't know what to do?" Zhang Juzheng frowned and said: "This... I have to think about it carefully." Suddenly, Xiong Feibai said: "Teacher, can you listen to Feibai's thoughts?" When Zhang Juzheng was in a dilemma, he heard Xiong Feibai's voice and immediately opened his eyes wide and asked: "What are Feibai's good plans? You might as well tell me, everyone should take a closer look." Xiong Feibai said: "Feibai believes that there must be something strange about the emperor's sudden change in temperament. First, the emperor is controlled by others and has to change it. Second, some people and some things touch the emperor, so they change." Everyone agreed with him and nodded frequently.
Guo Rong asked, "Feibai, then which reason do you think is more likely." Xiong Feibai said, "Master, according to the disciples, the first type is very likely." Zhang Juzheng murmured, "Who will the emperor be controlled?" Xiong Feibai said, "You might as well think about who is the emperor's latest favor?" Everyone was enlightened: "Is it Tu Ada and Xiang Linfeng?" Xiong Feibai said, "That's right, it's these two people, they are the tyrants in the world. Moreover, these two people and what happened
It can be related to it." Zhang Juzheng said: "If the emperor is really controlled by these two people, then the minister will be saved." Xiong Feibai said: "Teacher, don't mess up. Since they have controlled the emperor, if we act rashly, not only can we not save the emperor, but we may also have to pay our lives. It doesn't matter if we lose our lives. If we miss the emperor and the world of Daming, we will be a sinner forever. According to the students, in this situation, we should not make any moves, and we will be fatal if we make any moves."
Zhang Juzheng was always worried about the emperor and asked hurriedly: "Feibai, what good plan is there?" Xiong Feibai thought about it again and again, and said, "Teacher, the students really couldn't think of a good way for a while. However, the students thought of Mingzhe's way to protect themselves first." Zhang Juzheng asked, "What is Mingzhe's way to protect themselves?" Xiong Feibai said, "Teacher, don't go to court tomorrow, please take care of illness at home. The students vaguely felt that the traitor would point the finger at you after he could not succeed in dealing with the King of Chu and my master this time." Zhang Jianxiu said, "Feibai's words make sense. Dad, it's best to rest at home for a few days." Guo Rong also said, "Mr. Zhang, in the opinion of me, this matter should be quiet and not move. It's not too late to act after everything is found out." Zhang Juzheng thought for a while, nodded, and said, "Then I will rest at home for the time being."
Guo Rong said to Yan Rufeng: "General Yan, I want to ask you something." Yan Rufeng asked what happened. Guo Rong continued: "The entire General Shangyi Mansion and Zhang Mansion are now under the surveillance of traitors, and among so many people, it is probably only the general who is not known to these people. Therefore, I want to ask the general to secretly protect Lord Zhang." Zhang Jianxiu said: "Brother Rong, this is not necessary. There are the fourth brother and the Jinyiwei trained by the fourth brother himself, so you can rest assured." Yan Rufeng said: "I rely on the instructions of Lord Zhang and Rong'er. In my heart, the King of Chu will always be ranked first. But since everyone is thinking about the King of Chu, I can let everyone send you without complaints." Zhang Juzheng said: "Fei Bai, tell me, what should I do now."
Xiong Feibai said, "Since the teacher trusts Feibai so much, then Feibai is unruly. Originally, Feibai was not sure. But I believe that the first step is to find out the situation of the enemy. General Yan, since you are in the dark, I don't know if this matter is left to you?" Yan Rufeng said, "I accept the order." Xiong Feibai said, "Master, Feibai will think of a way to contact you. Don't act like this again next time, otherwise it will be inappropriate to alert the snake. However, Ren Guangming lives in your mansion, so you can tease him." Guo Rong understood what he meant and nodded.
Xiong Fei's eyes rolled, and suddenly he had another plan and said, "Master, we can also use the "Smoke Cage Cold Water Moon Cage Sand" plan." Everyone looked at him in surprise, not understanding the meaning. Xiong Feibai smiled and said, "They use a white veil to make a real and fake emperor, and we can also make a real and fake King of Chu with a white veil." When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter. Guo Rong understood what he meant and said, "This plan is very wonderful." So Guo Rong and Yan Rufeng left Zhang's mansion to go back to the general's mansion.
That night, after Yan Rufeng returned to General Shangyi's mansion, he disguised himself as a black man and scrambled into the palace to find out the news.
