Under the light of a flower slightly larger than a grain of rice, Luo Yaoniang's face was blurry and expressionless. His tone was also cold: "Tell me, did you give the note I asked Xiaocui to send to you?" Was the imperial hawk used as a tool to frame my father?"
Fairy Peach Blossom was silent for a while and said: "The note did fall into Yin's hands, but it was not handed over by us. Miss Luo's people were followed..." She thought to herself that if Fanzi appeared in the inn, then Luo Yao would It was easy for my mother to find out if anything happened in the inn, so she continued, "I was wary of this at the time and left the inn immediately. But not long after I left, I ran into Fan Zi Na. Fortunately, they were not alone this time. "More, after the fight, we killed and injured several people, and the rest escaped. But in the chaos, I dropped something in my sleeve, and I guess the letter was also in it, and they picked it up."
Luo Yaoniang didn't quite believe it, but she couldn't find any way to refute it, so she asked again: "Why are you asking Wang Gou'er?"
Fairy Peach Blossom replied: "We were ordered to inquire about the news. King Xiang has something in his hand that can blackmail the eunuch Wang Gou'er, so we took the risk to see Wang Gou'er to blackmail him into revealing the information."
This time Luo Yaoniang learned her lesson and broke the pot and asked: "What can threaten the handprint of the Supervisor of Ceremonies?"
Peach Blossom Fairy said helplessly: "It's a long story. If I tell it now, I'm afraid it will have to be told tomorrow morning. I think it's better to wait until you arrive in Huguang and ask Zhang Ping'an in person to let him tell you?"
"Should I go to Huguang?" Luo Yaoniang asked in surprise.
Fairy Peach Blossom said: "Even if you don't believe that Emperor Xuande will persecute Duke Yang, you should still believe the noses of so many bureaucrats in the court. As Duke Yang is the chief minister, all the officials, big and small, are impeaching Duke Yang. Isn't it obvious? ?It just so happens that you came out tonight, we will leave Yangzhou immediately, I will take you away... There are many informants around the Yang Mansion, but you can come out in the middle of the night? "
"There is no light at all in the corner. As long as you don't make any noise, you can go out. I guarantee that no one will follow you this time." Luo Yaoniang said with certainty. She stood quietly in the hidden place outside for half an hour. If it really happened Being targeted, there was no way there would be no movement at all.
Peach Blossom Fairy said: "So this opportunity is rare. Now that you have come out, don't go back to that place."
Luo Yaoniang said without hesitation: "I will not run away with you. My father and so many people are implicated, and I am the crux of this disaster. If I disappear suddenly, where will the others be placed? What if? There is no way to avoid disaster, and I would rather bear the consequences together with my father."
At this time, the Peach Blossom Fairy became more and more fond of her. In fact, Luo Yaoniang and Tuesday Niang were both "enemies" of the Peach Blossom Fairy, but their senses towards these two women were very different. I don't know why. And at this time, the Peach Blossom Fairy She also sympathized very much with Luo Yaoniang. After all, the woman in front of her was betrayed... If Luo Yaoniang hadn't been nostalgic, why would she have taken the risk of getting entangled with her group?
Faintly, Peach Blossom Fairy seemed to feel Luo Yaoniang's feelings, and felt sad. She hoped that Luo Yaoniang would never know the truth, and that everything was premeditated and planned by someone she once trusted.
"If you do this, I won't be able to do business when I go back. Zhang Pingan will definitely blame me for the rest of my life." Fairy Peach Blossom said softly, sighing secretly in her heart.
Sure enough, Luo Yaoniang did not doubt this statement, and only said: "Now these are just details." In her intuition, Wuchang and Yangzhou were so far away that Zhang Ning could not make a specific plan and order.
Seeing that her hint had achieved results, Fairy Peach Blossom immediately changed the subject: "Now that I think about it, if I want to save you, I can only rescue you together with Mr. Yang."
"My father is old and not as nimble as I am; and our family is in the capital. I have a brother named Yang Ji who is also in the capital, and there are hundreds of people in my family. I'm afraid it will be difficult to do this."
Fairy Peach Blossom muttered: "I can't take care of my concubines, slaves and maids. We can send someone to take Yang Ji away from the capital immediately, but we need a letter from Duke Yang. Duke Yang also has a way to deal with it.
It's just more risky; Wang Gou'er is threatened by us now and doesn't dare to move at all. We can ask him to cooperate... This matter is not only risky, but also needs to be done quickly. It is not impossible to do it and is worth a try."
Luo Yaoniang said: "My father will not agree."
Fairy Peach Blossom said: "We are responsible for the arrangements here. I have to rely on Miss Luo to persuade Duke Yang. Since King Xiang and Emperor Xuande were both Taizus, King Xiang's father, Emperor Jianwen, was more orthodox than Yongle. Who should I do?
Isn’t the minister loyal to the Ming Dynasty? What’s more, how Yang Gong will be evaluated in history in the future depends entirely on who can win the final victory. If Emperor Jianwen’s lineage regains power, the officials who compile historical facts in the imperial court will be able to slander their own famous ministers in the future.
Say good things about the officials of King Yan? Now the imperial court seems to be powerful, but it has not won an important victory on the battlefield... If Yang Gong is not really very pedantic now, it is obvious where he will go. Luo Yaoniang can only give good advice.
He and Yang Ji's affairs are also on our shoulders, so we must act quickly."
Luo Yaoniang seemed to be tempted. Before she came, she wanted to ask the people here what to do, but now they did come up with a way. She asked again: "Do you really have a way to rescue my father under heavy surveillance?"
?Although Wang Gou'er is controlled by you, he has too much power alone and cannot order his hawks and dogs to withdraw their sentries."
"There is a way..." Peach Blossom Fairy naturally would not say that Zhang Ning had planned everything. "Of course it is a bit risky, but there are not many good things in the world that are bound to happen. How will you know the result if you don't try?"
"Okay!" Luo Yaoniang nodded solemnly, "How to get started next and how to contact me?"
When Fairy Peach Blossom saw her promise, she was slightly surprised and said immediately as if she was well prepared: "The risk of our contact is extremely high and may be exposed at any time. This is the last contact before leaving Yangzhou. Just persuade Mr. Yang after you return.
After that, send a signal... There are several pots of flowers and plants on the west wall of your house that have grown moss. It seems that no one has taken care of them for a long time. If it succeeds, you will ask someone to take the pots away. Then the next day when Mr. Yang goes out to work
, you come out and sit in a sedan with him, and for other matters, just act according to the circumstances, we will make our own arrangements."
Luo Yaoniang thought about it again and again, and finally agreed. Then she quietly returned to the Yang Mansion.
The night and the choice of route were very favorable. Although it was dangerous, it was peaceful in the end. But just as he was about to return to his room, he saw Yang Shiqi standing at the door.
Yang Shiqi said: "I heard that you are not in the room anymore, so I will wait here for your return."
Luo Yaoniang's heart immediately "thumped" like a drum. At this time, people don't really feel much. They just have some blanks in their minds, and they endured it hard. She couldn't say anything.
Yang Shiqi then said again: "There is a wing over there. Come in and talk to your father."
Luo Yaoniang followed obediently and entered the wing. Yang Shiqi put the lantern directly on the table and sat down on the chair. Luo Yaoniang had to stand and did not dare to sit. She was also wearing a dark blue night clothes.
It's like a thief has been caught.
Yang Shiqi just sighed, neither getting angry nor questioning. He may have felt that he had nothing to say, because he had told Luo Yaoniang that day not to cause trouble again, and she went out in the evening.
After a long silence, Luo Yaoniang finally summoned up the courage to say: "The matter has reached this point. We have no choice. My father said that we should remain unchanged in response to all changes, but there is nothing we can do. So I wanted to see the people of King Xiang.
Let’s see what they can do…”
"What can I do?" Yang Shiqi interrupted her, "You want Xizuo to help you and escape?"
Luo Yaoniang said aggrievedly: "If I just want to escape, why do I come back tonight? If my father thinks so, what are he waiting for me to do?"
"Alas..." Yang Shiqi sighed again.
Luo Yaoniang reminded carefully: "Wang Gou'er has something in Zhang Ping'an's hands and is being controlled by someone."
"Oh?" Yang Shiqi didn't question it when he heard it. He immediately thought of the "incense ash case" a few years ago. What could be used to control Wang Gouer? Maybe it was just the problem in that incident.
Seeing Yang Shiqi's expression, Luo Yaoniang became a little bolder and said: "King Xiang treats his father very sincerely. He will definitely spare no effort for an important person like you."
"It's nothing more than window-dressing. I can't guess what Zhang Ping'an thinks? My prestige and reputation among scholars in the world is what matters to him," Yang Shiqi said.
After hearing this, Luo Yaoniang hurriedly said: "No matter what his intentions are, he must really want to have a wise man like his father."
Because the incident happened suddenly, Luo Yaoniang didn't have time to think of a way to persuade Yang Shiqi. Fortunately, the Peach Blossom Fairy had made some sense when she persuaded her before. So Luo Yaoniang simply used those words to persuade her father.
Peach Blossom Fairy's words were too straightforward and naked, but they were rough and rational, and they were not just words. Especially the judgment about the posthumous name is a bloody reality. The example is not far away. Twenty years ago, the filial piety paid such a heavy price.
, Loyalty cannot be called dishonest. After three dynasties, the case has not been overturned. Renzong had the intention but did not rule for long. When Xuande came to power, he immediately suppressed the matter. In addition to Fang Xiaoru, who was slightly controversial among the people, there were other suggestions.
What are the good evaluations of the ministers who died in the records compiled by the Hanlin Academy and in the history books? The civil servants who served as the center of the Jianwen Dynasty were described in various negative ways. It is indispensable to say that they harmed the country and the emperor, regardless of the facts.
I'm afraid I'll never be able to stand up again.
Moreover, what Yang Shiqi understands most is not this kind of thing, but the fate of the ministers with real authority who have been purged internally. It is not just a matter of life, but they must be ruined in advance; otherwise, wouldn’t the emperor and his ministers admit that they are cowards and treacherous men?
Only a coward and a traitor would kill their loyal ministers. Just like Li Shanchang in the Taizu period, tens of thousands of people were implicated and died. If there is no explanation, wouldn't it be an unjust killing?
Yang Shiqi did not dare to determine the outcome of defection, but he could foresee his fate in the Xuande Dynasty... One choice had a competitive advantage because the other choice was really bad, and the so-called defection was due to the fact that they were both members of the Ming Dynasty.
