With his rarely confused temperament, the further he goes, the more confused he will become."
Rou Yue had mixed feelings and was speechless for a long time. Gu Liang Lei gently held Rou Yue's hand and whispered comfortingly: "Don't think about it anymore. I will discuss this matter with the prince later. If it is something he can't do,
It’s okay, isn’t there still me?”
Rou Yue looked at Gu Liang's tears who had a warm face and was speechless. She shouldered the tasks that Li Luo couldn't do. Her words were easy-going and soft, but she was so courageous.
When she left Guliang Lei's boudoir, Rouyue felt guilty and regretful, but her mood was much more stable. She was separated by a wall, and she didn't care about the treacherous clouds outside the wall, and the bright and dark arrows, but in the yard there was a gentle breeze and spring flowers blooming.
days.
After seeing off King Deng and Ling Shutong and Di Jie, Li Luo stood under the eaves and looked up at the sky. The rain last night had not cleared up yet. Although it was not raining, there was still a thin layer of clouds that blocked the stars.
Zhang Rongzheng and Yang Wanli stood beside Li Luo, one on the left and the other on the right. They also imitated Li Luo and looked up at the sky. Yang Wanli was okay, his body was thin and tall, but Zhang Rongzheng had a big belly. He held his waist and was ten years pregnant.
The woman of the moon needs to be wider by two circles. I heard that the craftsmen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who specialize in making court uniforms secretly rumored that Zhang Rongzheng's official uniform of crane and deer auspiciousness cost twice as much material as other people, and he could barely fit it into it.
.
"Once Prince Deng leaves, I'm afraid things will stir up trouble again." Yang Wanli looked sad and didn't say anything. He just felt a little regretful deep in his heart. If Prince Deng Li Xuansi was not handed over, what could the Internal Security Department do?
Li Luo hummed and said calmly: "If Prince Deng doesn't make trouble, then he is not Prince Deng."
"Hey, then the prince should not let the tiger go back to the mountain." Yang Wanli said worriedly.
Li Luo smiled slightly and said: "If I don't let him go, I have no choice but to kill him. In the current situation, if I kill an imperial heir, haha, I can still hide, but you and Mr. Zhang will have a headache."
Yang Wanli thought about it and felt that it was reasonable. The person from the Internal Security Department could really ask for the imperial edict. If Li Luo refused to comply with the edict, wouldn't the entire court be in trouble?
"Your Majesty, Mr. Yang, why do you think His Highness Prince Deng has to stir up chaos in the court... The world is upside down. This is harming others and not benefiting oneself. Why bother?" Zhang Rongzheng asked with confusion.
Yang Wanli is also confused. He provokes disputes among scholars. It would be fine to sit on a mountain and watch a tiger fight. However, King Deng is now like a clay Bodhisattva who cannot save himself when crossing the river. Life and death have been decided, and the only difference is sooner or later. Isn't it true?
He would only be happy if both members of the Li family suffered losses.
Li Luo was silent for a moment and said slowly: "He said that his mount was tampered with when he was hunting, and the person who did it was named Tian Guan."
"Tian Guan?" Zhang Rongzheng and Yang Wanli both looked at each other. They didn't know who this Tian Guan was, but Yang Wanli had a vague feeling that he had heard this name somewhere.
"Concubine Ming's maiden name is Tian."
There was a thunder in Yang Wanli's mind, and he shouted: "I remembered!"
"Shh, keep your voice down, what are you remembering?" Zhang Rongzheng glared at Yang Wanli, making a fuss.
Yang Wanli glanced around and said in a solemn voice: "Tian Guan should be the only son of Tian Juyu, the general of Jinwu Weinan Town of the Forbidden Army, and the cousin of His Royal Highness King Deng."
Zhang Rongzheng's scalp felt numb, and Tian Juyu knew it. It was precisely because of this knowledge that Zhang Rongzheng understood that the water here was deep and shallow.
Tian Juyu, the general of Nanzhen, is the brother of Prince Deng’s biological mother, Concubine Ming. How old is Tian Guanzhang, Prince Deng, and he is Prince Deng’s cousin. At that time, Prince Deng fell from his horse and was crippled, Concubine Ming lost power, and soon there was a war He was seriously ill and died within a year. After that, Tian Juyu lost his backer and was squeezed out of the Forbidden Army. Zhang Rongzheng knew this very well and had even slightly contributed to Tian Juyu's situation back then. Angrily, he signed his seal and returned to his hometown in Huizhou. He did not want to be targeted by a group of bandits in Wuling Mountain. The dignified General Nanzhen of the Dagan Forbidden Army was killed by a few mountain bandits, and most of his family, old and young, were killed. As for whether the bandits were caught or not, not many people know about it as time has passed. However, after Tian Juyu died, he was laughed at by the dignitaries in Zhuo City for a long time. It was probably like wine bags and rice bags, and even the Imperial Army was carried away. If you don't stand up, Huo Cailuan will be embarrassed.
Many people knew about this matter, and it was a topic of conversation before and after tea at that time, but it was not until today, when King Deng talked about Tian Guan, that Zhang Rongzheng realized that there was more to it than what it seemed on the surface.
The Jinwu Guards in the Forbidden Army were the soldiers who guarded the side of Emperor Wanlong. Ten feet away, there was the Jinwu Guards. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were the emperor's confidants. Such a person, and even related to him, was definitely not Anyone can be bribed, but if you encounter bandits later, it may not be that easy.
The three of them were able to tell Tian Guan or Tian Juyu at once without inquiring into the details. Not many people betrayed the Ming Concubine. King Deng did not say who instructed Tian Guan, but Li Luo and the other three actually knew it in their hearts. A coincidental idea, coupled with the fact that the Tian family took advantage of the situation and became known as the seventh family after the six major families, bit by bit came together. As for whether you can hear the name from King Deng's mouth, it is no longer important, even if it is not a personal order. , he must have nodded. In this way, what King Deng did would make sense.
Zhang Rongzheng sighed for a while, then glanced at Yang Wanli and sneered: "Master Yang, with his rainy and windy look, is really a loyal minister. Unlike me, I just feel it is a pity."
"What a pity? What are you pity for?" Yang Wanli glared back at Zhang Rongzheng and said coldly, unwilling to be outdone.
"If the Internal Security Department wants to take His Royal Highness Prince Deng away, they have to pay thousands or tens of thousands of taels of silver and pay for the wine and medicine money of our patrol inspectors, otherwise they will be given an advantage in vain."
Yang Wanli was stunned, looking at Zhang Rongzheng who looked like he was taking it for granted, and murmured: "Such ill-gotten gains are well deserved..."
"It turns out that it is well deserved." Zhang Rongzheng said with a smile, "What a coincidence, I just used my ill-gotten wealth to buy two kilograms of large-leaf wintergreen tea. It is the most refreshing. I originally wanted to give it to the prince. One pound, the rest will be divided between you and me. Since you feel guilty about taking it, you must also feel guilty about receiving it. For Mr. Yang’s share, I am shameless, so let’s split it fifty-fifty with the prince.”
Yang Wanli was stunned. He knew that Zhang Rongzheng did this deliberately, but he couldn't help but feel angry. Speaking of big-leaf holly, although it is not as famous as Bird's Tongue Silver Needle and the like, it is more precious than anything else. This tea is produced in the southwest of Dagan. It is said that this tea tree is seven minutes shorter than ordinary tea trees.
