Rebirth of the only favorite fool

The rain outside the window was wet and dripping, and the continuous drizzle was dripping down on the eaves of Nuo Da, forming a hazy rain curtain outside the door of the house, blocking the sight of passers-by.

Now that it has entered late autumn, the clothes of passers-by on the street are getting darker, but now the young man under the eaves is still wearing a plain white shirt, and a touch of plain white is casually placed on the sandalwood chair with a sloping back. On the table, the man held a long flute between his fingers, and there was a faint wave between his brows and eyes, but the flute that touched his lips several times never made a sound.

It seems that after a long time of debugging, I can occasionally hear one or two flute sounds in the pattering rain curtain, intermittently, and there is a kind of almost morbid sadness in the cold wind and rain.

like regret.

King Cheng in the past is now dead, did anyone keep Feidian?

Xiao Ronglian once heard a person say such a sentence, the ups and downs of this world, the vicissitudes of life, no matter how it changes, it will not stop because of a person's life or death.No matter who dies or leaves, the world will go on consistently, and no one will be embarrassed by losing someone.

Xiao Ronglian raised his head slightly, looked at the blue tiles and long eaves above his head, and suddenly thought of this sentence.

There should always be exceptions in this world.

For example, if he died, Fang Qiyou might not be able to help embarrassing the world.This person is having a hard time, and he must make everyone in the world have a hard time with him.

Xiao Ronglian rarely thought about it without distraction.

At this moment, the courtyard door was opened by the people below, and two pedestrians wearing large black cloaks came in. Both of them were completely covered from top to bottom, with no other parts of their bodies exposed except their eyebrows and eyes.The two of them obviously came here in the rain, and they didn't even shake their bodies from the water after they came in. They walked directly along the railing through the long corridor, and both walked in front of Xiao Ronglian.

When they walked over, Xiao Ronglian's expression had become very calm, and there was no expression between his brows and eyes.He looked at the two of them silently for a while, and then said calmly after a while: "I called you here today mainly for two things."

"The first thing is that a women's school will be set up in Wangjing Guozijian after the Shang Qiuxiu. After that, a proposal will be put on the female officer's agenda. I don't tell you the resistance that will be encountered. You know the attitude of Jinshang It is clear that the female officer system is imperative in Dayu, so we must build momentum in it to reduce the difficulty of its implementation.”

This is to spread some true and false news and use spies to influence public opinion.

As for how to do it, these two people are familiar with it, so they don't need to mention it.

"Second thing..."

The young man in white leaning back on the comfortable sandalwood armchair paused for a while, and moved his fingers clasping the flute on his knees, before continuing to speak slowly: "The crown prince will be established today."

Yes, Emperor Yu Cheng is about to register as a crown prince.

Although there are only three direct descendants of Emperor Yu Cheng, because of Empress Fang's virtue, she never exercised power, oppressed and eliminated dissidents in the harem. Instead, she treated the concubines in the palace with courtesy, and would take good care of them if any concubines became pregnant. In addition, concubines in the palace rarely have accidents when they are pregnant, and other high-ranking concubines have more or less children. Emperor Yu Cheng also has more than ten children in total, and he is not an emperor who lacks children.

It's just that Emperor Yu Cheng gave birth to children later, and he had his first child at the age of 22, who is now the eldest daughter Ning Xi. After three years, he had his eldest son Zhou Chen. Now Zhou Chen is no more than Only 13 years old, the other children are even younger.So for many years, the Xiao family in the court has always prevented Emperor Cheng from appointing a crown prince on the grounds that the prince is young and has unknown aptitude.

It's just that Zhou Chen is 13 years old now.

No matter from the point of view of the lineage or the elders, Zhou Chen should undoubtedly be the crown prince.What's more, the 13-year-old eldest prince can also tell his aptitude.To be precise, not only is Zhou Chen not a person with mediocre talents and incompetent morals, but he is intelligent and talented. He can be regarded as far superior to children of the same age in all subjects of astronomy and geography. He is mature and prudent at a young age, and he can be called a With the style of a general, he is very valued by Emperor Cheng.

It is precisely because of this that Zhou Chen has had several "accidents" since he grew up.

It is only when it is tightly protected that it is always safe and sound.

It's not necessarily that all of them are under the Xiao family's hand, and maybe other families have some ideas that they shouldn't have.After all, the several high-ranking concubines in the palace are all from famous families, and they are not without hope.

There were three accidents, two of which were picked out by Emperor Cheng. He killed a noble concubine and brought down a family.But it has never been found out that it has any relationship with the Xiao family.

In other words, the Xiao family's hands and feet are very clean, and at the same time they are very cautious.

But if someone really dared to stretch out their claws, Emperor Cheng would definitely chop off those claws directly.

Emperor Cheng was ready to push Zhou Chen to the position of prince.

The young man twirled the cold jade flute with his fingertips, no longer hesitated, but said three words to the two of them indifferently: "The eldest prince Zhou Chen is the one I'm looking at today. The dust will probably settle before the Chinese New Year this year. Everything will be settled according to The original plan."

"Mingguang, your mission remains the same."

The person named Ming Guang nodded slightly in response, his voice became hoarse: "Yes."

"As for the dark eagle... some time ago, when the dark vein contacted the dark fire in Wancheng, I lost contact with me. I guess he may have been ambushed by others. As for the specific situation, I am afraid that there will be another A few people went over to have a look."

The man named Dark Eagle was obviously taken aback.

Although they are divided into plain and dark characters, there is also a clear division of labor among each other's individuals, and they never interfere with each other.The dark vein is probably the one with the most special identity in the dark character department.He was the one who contacted all the members of the Dark Words Department, that is to say, he knew the identity behind every member of the Dark Words Department, but only Xiao Zi knew his identity.

Even something happened to the Dark Vein, does this mean...the entire contact method of their Dark Word Department is no longer safe?Have they been targeted?Who betrayed them?Could it be the Mingzi Department?

As if understanding the suspicion in the other party's heart, Young Master Xiao just shook his head and said lightly: "It's probably a coincidence. I'll leave this matter to you."

to him?

The people in Dark Eagle's hands are all in charge of the information and intelligence network. If someone in Wancheng really set up a sniper, then he might send someone to inquire about the news, and there will be no return.

Sure enough, the young master Xiao continued: "Because of the previous mission, you contacted Anming once. You should contact him again according to the last contact method, and ask him to cooperate with you and send someone to follow you to Wancheng. Find out about the matter. Be clear, and fish out the dark veins if necessary."

Through the dark and underworld, the Lord kills and dies.

An Ming is responsible for the elite among the dead.

After hearing the words, Dark Eagle bowed his head respectfully, and said in a deep voice to Young Master Xiao, "Yes."

When the two of them left Young Master Xiao's mansion with their cloaks on, they stopped at the door by coincidence. They looked at each other, and no one made a sound while standing there.

Looking into the eyes of the person opposite, Gu Huaiyu felt a familiar feeling in his heart.It's just that the other party obviously came here with a different face just like him, and it's impossible to tell whether this person is someone I know just by the pair of eyebrows and eyes that are exposed.Gu Huaiyu and the other party looked at each other for a moment, without saying anything, then turned and walked towards the other side.

Since Young Master Xiao didn't give them any instructions to get to know each other, he certainly wouldn't choose to talk to this person on his own initiative.Even if he always felt that this person was a little familiar.

After all, no one in this world can tell who will betray.

Obviously the other party thought so too.

When Gu Huaiyu turned around and got into the carriage, when the carriage turned around and was about to leave, the figure in the black cloak was no longer on the ground.

The winding and quiet alley that came out of the back street left only a curved corner.

After Gu Huaiyu returned to his own house in the carriage, he got out of the carriage still wearing the waterproof black cloak, and walked around the pavilions directly to the back.When he entered the area where he usually lived, before he could go around the pond, he saw a man wearing a cloak coming out of the rain. His hair on the temples with the cloak exposed was wet by the rain. When he saw him, he nodded slightly at him. respectfully.

Gu Huaiyu looked at him and nodded, "Today I went to the son's mansion, and the son explained two important things. The first thing is to promote the female official system. If we want to set up a women's school in the Imperial College, those of us in the commercial firm must show a supportive attitude no matter what, and find some people to go down and spread some true and false rumors to create momentum for the promotion of the women's school."

"Another thing... Today, I have made up my mind to establish a prince."

"The adults in the court who are loyal to the emperor naturally have nothing to say. As for the others...everything is going according to the original plan, what should be wooed, what should be hinted at. In short, what we do represents Young Master, it’s all over the surface, and it’s not our turn to do the real tricks, so there’s nothing difficult about it.”

The man nodded slightly at Gu Huaiyu, expressing that he knew everything. After listening to him, he said: "These subordinates will give orders. It's just that the subordinates recently received news from Yuncheng, Qingwan's... .I discovered a big trick of City Lord Xiao, and if I took it, I was afraid it would be a breakthrough, so I sent the news to Er Shao before the end of the month."

Qingwan is the woman who was brought back by Gu Huaiyu in Taocheng.Not long after she arrived in Yuncheng, Gu Huaiyu settled her younger siblings, and sent her to Xiangxue Haiting in Yuncheng to receive training|teaching. When she arrived, he borrowed someone's hand to send her to Xiao Yuwen, and became Xiao Yuwen. Yuwen's concubine.She has been in Xiao's residence for several years, and now she is deeply loved and trusted by Xiao Yuwen, except for some extremely urgent and taboo things, she does not hide from her.

Except for a "letter from home" that these young people will hand out at the end of every month, everything else is very peaceful, and it is impossible to tell that someone else has placed them there.If it weren't for this, Xiao Yuwen's scheming old fox wouldn't be so relieved of her.

After all, he just asked Qing Wan to tell him everything she knew at the Xiao Mansion in Yuncheng, in every detail, and didn't ask her to do anything else. It's not easy to attract people's doubts.

Qing Wan is afraid that she has finally obtained some really useful things now, so it is not in vain for her to stay peacefully in the Xiao Mansion for so many years.

The light in Gu Huaiyu's eyes dimmed: "Say."

The man said slowly: "Qing Wan found some evidence written in plain text in the study of City Lord Xiao, saying that it was... when Prince Rui rebelled five years ago, Prince Rui was in the major cities of Yuncheng. The family received a sum of military pay, but later a group of people came to the door under the banner of Prince Rui, and it was actually the people under City Lord Xiao himself who did it. The ransacking of the great family by bandits is actually the work of City Lord Xiao. Those so-called bandits are actually all the dead soldiers he raised outside Yuncheng."

Gu Huaiyu sneered when he heard the words, with a bit of cruelty hidden in his eyes.

Heh, he just knew, how could the inner city be so easily attacked by rogues?It turned out that someone was guarding and stealing from himself, and the thief shouted "stop thief!"After the incident of the rogues, Xiao Yuming obviously did not find out anything, and all the so-called "rogues" "run away", fortunately he had the nerve to put on such a righteous and awe-inspiring attitude!

He got all the benefits, but the hat was put on the heads of Prince Rui and the rogues.

It's vicious!

Gu Huaiyu's expression softened, and he asked, "How did you find out what happened after several years?"

The man continued: "Qing Wan found the secret compartment that Xiao Yuwen hid in the secret room, and found a stack of letters, which were written about Xiao Yuwen's dealings with the group of people he raised. The letters still remember the events of that year. Those letters revealed information about the group of people under Xiao Yuwen, saying that the dead soldiers he raised were all hidden in Qi Town outside the city, and the places where they settled were very strict. .”

Qizhen is also one of the largest towns outside Yuncheng, and they dare to hide there.

Thinking about it, more than half of the floating wealth that Xiao Yuwen robbed back then was transported to Wangjing, it really is a big trick.

Gu Huaiyu thought about it for a while and said: "You have someone deliver the news, so that Qing Wan should not act rashly, just keep an eye on Xiao Yuwen all the time, and don't accidentally fold yourself in. She can stay in Xiao's house and master it." Information is what matters."

The man said, "Yes."

Gu Huaiyu thought for a while and asked again: "Xiao Yuwen has stayed in Yuncheng for several years, and now he hasn't reached out to the taxation of Yuncheng, right?"

The man's voice was deep and slow: "Mr. He, whom we and the Shen family helped up, is known for being upright and unselfish. As long as Mr. He is here, City Lord Xiao will not want to get his hands on the taxation of Yuncheng."

Gu Huaiyu snorted coldly and looked coldly: "Oh, I'm afraid he has been staring at the position under Mr. He for a long time, but he failed to succeed after making several strikes. Probably he was already in a hurry. You have to take all the protective measures Instruct people to do well, these things must not be careless."

The man promised: "Yes."

Gu Huaiyu paused for a while, and then said to the man: "Go down and find a few children with good skills, prepare a disguise and go to Wancheng to find out the news, and see if there is anything unusual in the inner city of Wancheng. matter."

The boundary of Wancheng has nothing to do with him, even under the hands of the young master Xiao, he is not in charge.However, when he heard about Wancheng at the son Xiao's mansion, he had an inexplicable feeling of uneasiness, and he always felt that it was time for someone to go and have a look.

Although he is now working for the young master Xiao, most of the people under him are trained by themselves, and they only obey his orders.Even if he seeks some information behind Young Master Xiao's back, it probably doesn't matter, and it shouldn't spoil Young Master Xiao's layout.

After the man agreed, Gu Huaiyu originally planned to let him go first, but after a pause, he said slowly: "Mo Chen, there is one more thing you have to keep in mind. Anyway, I didn't tell Fu Lang about it. You can’t let him know through your mouth. Do you know?”

It's better for Xue Jia not to know the things he didn't tell Xue Jia.

When Mo Chen turned around and disappeared behind the rain curtain, Gu Huaiyu turned his head and saw Xue Jia, who was wearing a high-collared plain shirt, walking slowly behind the white wax pillar not far away, holding a sixteen-bone sapphire umbrella Come out and stand in front of the pavilions and waterside pavilions, under the heavy rain.

looked at him quietly.
