Chapter 14 Planning
?In late March, Emperor Tianyuan, who was assassinated at the end of last month, was seriously treated by the famous doctor Yao Sengyuan, and his injuries finally improved after repeated treatment. He was able to walk slowly by himself. The emperor's father-in-law, Yang Jian, who was ordered to attend the palace and serve the disease, was finally able to leave the palace and return home.
In a certain room in the Lefang, Emperor Tianyuan's confidant, the official in the history of the inner-minded official, Zheng Yi, Duke of Pei, was happily eating side dishes and watching the singing girl performing in front of him. A young man was diligently pouring wine for him. This young man was Yuwen Wen, the Duke of Xiyang County. Today, he was invited by Zheng Yi, Duke of Pei, to do this.
"I don't know who has caused the bad luck in the past year, which has caused many misunderstandings from Your Majesty. I would like to ask Duke Pei to say a few good words before His Majesty."
Zheng Yi took a sip of wine comfortably and then looked at Yuwen Wen, who was younger than his son with a smile, and said, "Donald Xiyang County really doesn't know why?"
Of course I know nonsense that the tyrant lord wanted to occupy my wife and kill her husband and wife, but he recognized the wrong person later.
Although he kept complaining about it, Yuwen Wen could not say it out loud, and he just laughed: "I am just a idle duke, I have never led the army and have no official duties. I think it is the eunuch Wu Zhe and others who use any means to seek holy grace."
Seeing that Zheng Yi squinted his eyes as if he was listening to Xiaoqu’s words, Yuwen Wen added:
"Mrs. I guess she has fallen into the hands of the thief. I'm afraid she's gone for half a month." He got up and bowed, "I still have to live my life without anyone... But I'm just thinking about having no worries about food and clothing, and I dare not have any other thoughts."
After hearing Yuwen Wen say this, Zheng Yi opened his eyes and took another sip of wine and pondered: "It's just that Your Majesty is in a bad mood now..."
Yuwen Wen clapped his hands, a servant pushed open the door and walked in and handed the box respectfully to Yuwen Wen and then stepped out. Yuwen Wen opened the box and presented it to Zheng Yi:
"I'm just a little bit of a favor, please accept it with a smile."
Zheng Yi's eyes lit up when he looked at the things in the box, and it was filled with gold and silver jewelry. The most conspicuous one was a few strings of glass bracelets. He took the box and picked up one of the glass bracelets and looked at it with the sunlight leaking from the window. He saw round glass beads crystal clear and shining with dazzling light under the light.
"Is it the glazed bracelet that occasionally appears on the market recently?"
"That's right, I accidentally bought it from a foreign merchant in the Western Regions a few days ago. Please accept it with a smile."
Looking at Zheng Yiyu and Wen Wen, who was smiling, no longer talking, his relevant information appeared in his mind:
Zheng Yi was born in the Zheng family of Xingyang, and was knowledgeable and well-versed in music. He played with the sons of Yuwen Tai, the founder of the Northern Zhou Dynasty (that is, the former emperor Yuwen Yong and his brothers), and was considered a close minister of the royal family.
Zheng Yi's name is Zhengyi, but it is not at all righteous. When Emperor Yuan was still the crown prince today, he was very close to him, and he would be flattered and praised him again. So when the crown prince ascended the throne, his status rose and became one of the emperor's confidants. He was greedy for money and right and wrong, and used all means to bribe and abuse the law for power and wealth. When the old master, Emperor Tianyuan, died, he defected to his old classmate, and his new master, Duke of Sui, Yang Jian, helped him usurp power.
He couldn't put it down and covered the box. Zheng Yi touched the long beard under his jaw: "Have the county lord ever thought about putting it out of the prefectures and counties?"
"The Duke of the State misunderstood. How can the prefectures and counties compare to Chang'an's leisurely and happy life. I would like to ask the Duke of the State to say a few good words before His Holiness, so don't let Xiao Xiao slander it all day long."
"Please it on me!" Zheng Yi nodded and smiled happily when he heard this. It would be impossible for Yuwen Wen to leave the prefectures and counties. It was just that the property in front of him was not worthy of being ahead. If he just spoke a few good words in front of the emperor, it would be a big deal.
Looking at Yuwen Wen with a smile on his face, he was despised: He was all missed by the emperor and still missed the prosperity of the capital. He didn't want to go out to avoid disaster. He was really a gift! If your wife finds her, then let her go!
After drinking and eating, Yuwen Wengong sent Zheng Yi away. He watched the convoy walk away and lead his confidant servant Yuwen Shiwu away. He made a lot of turns along the way and came to the south of the city.
"The silly lord's condition has indeed improved. Is the county lord still sitting firmly now?" Mingcui looked at Yuwen Wen with a sarcastic expression and said, "There is no progress. Could it be that the county lord has only been concerned about the fate of his wife for days but has completely ignored the danger of being tired?"
That night, Yuwen Wen and her "friendly negotiations" and asked for a secret yard. Mingcui was meticulous and then thought through: The Duke of Xiyang County must have hidden his wife Yuchi, whom he claimed to be missing.
"Does the girl know disguise?"
Listening to Mingcui's sarcastic words, Yu Wen Wen didn't care at all. He decided to make sure his partner's background before taking the first step. After all, he was not afraid of opponents like gods but teammates like pigs.
First of all, he had to figure out how Mingcui had seen through his disguise before. First, he was curious, and second, he learned lessons to avoid being misleading when he was in the future. To put it bluntly, his disguise technique of becoming a monk was simply changing facial features, so that people could not associate it with their original appearance at first glance.
After the assassination that night, we met Emperor Tianyuan Yuwen Yun and Emperor Tianyuan Yang Lihua who did not recognize him, and it was still effective. Why did this person see through it?
"At best, the county magistrate cannot recognize his original appearance. If you really want to change your face and make people unable to see the flaws in front of you, I am afraid that no one in the world can do it."
"I am proficient in music and good at observing the face. I found that the person who negotiated the price had different faces after several contacts. Since I met the county duke, I found my eyes and tone of speaking similarly, so I guessed this."
Seeing that Yuwen Wen was half-believing and half-doubted, she smiled immediately: "The biggest flaw is that when the county magistrate is nervous, he will hold his left hand unconsciously and move his right ear. It's a blessing that I can see it. If so..."
Yuwen Wen was shocked and sweated coldly when he heard this. As a time traveler, he examined whether there were any flaws after disguise according to his own habits. He never thought that the original owner of his body had such a minor problem.
The ancients really couldn't underestimate it!
After coughing a few times to hide his embarrassment, he took out something and handed it to the other party's hand. Mingcui held it in his hand and found that it was a jade pendant, the size and shape were no different from that of an ordinary jade pendant.
After weighing it, I felt that it was a bit of weight but I didn't know what it was for. Yuwen Wen took it over and signaled to her to look at the wall: "Twist it here first, and then..."
With a light "puff", a cold light suddenly flashed at one end of the jade pendant. I saw several silver needles stuck on the wall two or three meters away opposite.
"Is this?" Mingcui's eyes lit up.
"And this." Yuwen Wen took out a cylinder and handed it to Mingcui. The size was exactly the same as holding it in one hand in his palm, and asked her to face one end of the cylinder against the wall: "First this, then..."
After Mingcui did it, he heard a "puff" sound, and a cold light flashed in the cylinder. He saw many silver needles inserted on the opposite wall, covering the area as big as a dustpan.
"These two things are invalidated once, each cost me more than ten cents. Now I'm trying to use them for you when I see them. I'm using them with needles to harness them. I'm afraid that it's not worth mentioning if you have this thing in hand."
Mingcui took these two things and looked at them with joy, saying, "The county magistrate really has many ways, and I don't know what these two are called?"
"That cylinder is called the rainy pear blossom needle, and the other one is just what you call it." Yu Wen Wen paused for a moment and changed his mind, "Where is the thing?"
Mingcui stood up and took a box from the bookshelf. After opening it, he took out a string of glazed jewelry from it. The bracelets in it were similar to the style given to Zheng Yi by Yuwen Wen just now.
During this period, Yuwen Wen sent Lin Youdi and three other "abacus beads" out of the city to get some river sand. He was trying to make glass in the mansion, but after a few days, he made colored glass and simply used a mold to make a batch of "glass beads" in batches.
Because Mingcui Lefang saw a lot of jewelry for girls to dress up, she gave it to her for post-processing, and then used her channels to get it for sale on the world, earning 46.
There are also glass jewelry for sale on the market now, but it is rare for Yuwen Wen to have pure quality in his hands. He doesn’t expect to make a lot of money, at least he has to fill in some of the deficits in the past month. After all, in order to buy a house and a slave, he also spends a lot of money on various expenses.
"It is a good way to arrive at the county lord, and I don't know where to get so many top-quality glass beads."
"What I said was the necklace that the girl made..."
Mingcui smiled slightly and took out a gift bag, carefully took out a beautiful string of glass necklaces from it. The necklace was made of many purple glass beads of the same size and gold thread, and the pendant was a ruby the size of a pigeon egg.
"The Duke of the County is deeply in love with his wife, which makes me envious."
Yuwen Wen took the necklace and looked carefully for a while. He put it in the brocade bag and put it in his arms with satisfaction. He put his smile and said seriously: "Has the girl thought about what she said before?"
Seeing Mingcui nodding solemnly, Yuwen Wen took a sip of tea and said, "The emperor is hiding in the palace to recuperate. I really cannot send you in again without any foundation in the palace."
"But I have a plan to let the girl see the foolish lord, but has the girl ever thought about how to deal with it in the future?"
Seeing the other party gritting his teeth and nodding his head, Yuwen Wen felt a little reluctant: "Believe me, that tyrant lord can only last for one or two months, why bother with the girl..."
"I am no longer innocent. I have not been in the music shop for a few years now. Instead of spending the rest of my life with a candle in the wind, it is better to fight to the death."
"The tyrant monarch is indecent and has caused my family to be destroyed. Now I have to try it even if I only have a slight chance."
"Since that's the case, the girl must do my good job. I want a colorless death soldier. I wonder if there is anyone who chooses a girl?"
Mingcui was quite surprised when she heard this. She looked at Yuwen Wen and said slowly: "Will it alarm the snake and affect the assassination of the foolish emperor?"
Seeing that Yuwen Wen said no, she thought for a moment and replied that there was, but she asked for it to explain what was the so-called thing.
"I have a tangle with that man, but I must know why I let him die, not to convince him but to convince myself to let him die."
