Reverse Junhou

Chapter 35 Watching the sea [3]

Zhao Yancheng opened his eyes.

The pain left by acupuncture has gradually subsided, the huge East China Sea Palace is silent, and the sky outside the window is bright.

He didn't know why he had slept for so long, and was about to get up and get out of bed, when he suddenly remembered that Zhao Fengci and Wen Xuechao should have arrived at the palace yesterday, and he slept so deeply that he missed the time to greet them.

He summoned the guards from the mansion, with sleepiness still in his voice: "Have the Fifth Highness and Lord Wen arrived?"

"Go back to the prince, His Highness and Your Excellency arrived at the mansion at noon yesterday."

Zhao Yancheng frowned: "Why didn't you wake me up earlier?"

"My lord, Mr. Yang came to your room yesterday to take the needle. He said that the things in the house have been busy these days, and His Highness is a little tired. He specially asked the younger ones not to enter the house to disturb you, so that His Highness can have a good night's sleep."

The censer on the edge of the collapse burns agarwood for calming the nerves, and I don't know when Yang Shuyue put it on.He has not been in charge of the palace for a long time, and he has been dealing with Yincheng officials and big households for the past few days, so his body is indeed a little tired.From this point of view, some people seem to be sarcastic, but they actually keep everything in mind.

A duplicity person.

He laughed lowly, "Tell His Highness the Fifth Highness and Lord Wen that I'm up, and then go to the front hall."

When Zhao Yancheng entered the main hall, the three people in the mansion were already having breakfast.As soon as he took his seat beside Yang Shuyue, he was glared at by Doctor Xiaoyang.Yang Shuyue stood up vigorously, and sat down next to Wen Xuechao with the bowl in her arms.

Zhao Yansheng has long turned a blind eye to Yang Shuyue's attitude.He said to Zhao Fengci: "I haven't seen him for several years, but the fifth younger brother is still so outstanding, and his heroic appearance remains the same as before."

Zhao Fengci nodded: "Brother Huang is absurd."

There are nine princes under Emperor Jingyang.The dragon has nine sons, but each one is different.

Zhao Yancheng's mother's family was from the Hanlin Academy, and he learned the aloofness of those literati since he was a child.The imperial brothers who grew up with him, although all of them are from famous families, most of them are not in his eyes.When he first met Zhao Fengci in Shangshuyuan when he was young, he paid more attention to the fifth prince who grew up in Saibei.

Zhao Fengci was this person, always had a serious face, and seemed to be calm about everything, but actually put himself aside and watched the disputes in the palace with a cold eye.One day, after the others have exhausted their tricks, it will be his turn to stir up the situation.

He still doesn't know whether Zhao Fengci really has that kind of thought, but this son can't be underestimated now.

Wen Xuechao recounted the news he heard in the bank to everyone, and Zhao Yancheng fell into deep thought after hearing it: "Master Wen's plan is to pretend to join hands with the king, bypass Ren Junshou, pass the The Wangfu is here to manage the commercial routes in the Eastern Territory. If Madam Wu hears this news, she will think that you are doing this to avoid Wen Shizhen and secretly control the commercial routes in the Eastern Territory. This is in line with what you said on the island, she is really convenient Won't you put more trouble on this matter?"

"Exactly," Wen Xuechao said, "We seem to be fulfilling our promise with Wushou, but we are actually waiting for the merchants who colluded with Ren Ji and Wushou to come to our door and collect Ren Ji's embezzlement of government goods. Evidence, and then go straight to the sage, and take off his black hat that he has worn for more than 20 years."

"There are many people involved in this matter. If His Majesty wants to investigate thoroughly, one day he will find that the Wen family is the financial backer. Isn't Mr. Wen afraid of getting burned?"

Before Wen Xuechao answered, Zhao Fengci said decisively: "Ren Ji can't be kept, he must be killed first."

A flash of surprise flashed in Zhao Yancheng's eyes, Zhao Fengci was trying to save Wen's family?

"If the Yandong Army defeats Wushou and then removes Ren Ji, will the court find out that Wen Shizhen was among them?" Zhao Fengci asked Wen Xuechao.

Wen Xuechao was a little astonished, but he still replied: "The Yandong army is as powerful as a broken bamboo. The Wen family has long wanted to retreat from it. If the clues are cut off halfway, I am afraid that the court can only find out about Ren Ji. Even so, even if it is true Find out any clues, empty words have no basis, no evidence can be found, and the Holy Majesty does not dare to act rashly."

"Wen Shizhen is at the height of his power in the imperial court. Even if he is really involved this time, he might be able to escape unscathed." Zhao Fengci said, "It's better to get rid of this cancer in the east first. Wen Shizhen's account, we wait for it." Let’s count in the future.”

Wen Shizhen's fall from the horse was a minor matter, if the entire Wen family was eventually implicated, Wen Xuechao, who was the son of the Wen family, would be the first to bear the brunt.Not long after he entered his official career, he was already a rare official in the court.If he is dismissed from his official position because of this, it will be difficult to stand up again in the future.

He still remembered the night when the two of them climbed to the top of the temple and overlooked Guangyang City, the lights of Wanjia reflected in Wen Xue's eyes.

This man was born to plead for the people.

Zhao Fengci didn't believe that Wen Xuechao didn't expect this step, but he still ignored his own situation and wanted to eradicate the source of the evil in the East.Only he can think of the method of killing one thousand enemies and harming eight hundred.

Zhao Yancheng is a smart person, so he immediately understood what Zhao Fengci was saying, and he didn't move the Wen family at this time, it was just to consider Wen Xuechao's situation.

He filled a bowl of soup for Yang Shuyue and put it in front of the little doctor who was listening attentively to everyone's speech: "I basically understand. If there is any need for this king's cooperation in the future, the fifth brother and Master Wen will say it."

Within three days, someone really handed a greeting card to Donghai Palace, wanting to pay a visit to Young Master Wen.Donghai Palace accepted the invitation and allowed everyone to go up the mountain to have an audience.

The personal guards led dozens of people into the door, and the merchants saw the prince waiting in person in the main hall, they felt terrified in their hearts, and knelt together in darkness.

Both sides of the main hall are full of Habayashi guards with swords, and the prince is wearing a black gold python robe, leaning lazily on the fairy chair.The King of Donghai played with his fingers, raised his eyes slightly, and said with a little impatience: "Don't keep kneeling, it will hinder my king's eyes."

Merchants are used to running rampant in the East China Sea, and they still had a tentative mind before coming to the palace.Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the palace, he was frightened by the aura of the palace and his hands and feet became weak.

This is the most honored and honored person of Dafu, the Lord of the East Territory in the future.

Zhao Yancheng obeyed Wen Xuechao's suggestion, put on an arrogant royal airs with all his strength, and sure enough, he was the first to calm down this group of stalkers.

Zhao Yancheng waved his hand, and Habayashi Wei took a step forward: "Your Highness asked you to report your name and where you came from."

The merchants reported their first and last names one after another, and the middle-aged man at the head was the owner of the bank that Wen Xuechao had met before.His throat moved, he took a step forward slowly, and said timidly: "My lord, the grassroots heard from a young man surnamed Yang who went south from Guangyang to do business. You can talk to the little ones. The grass-roots dare to come to see His Highness and Young Master."

Zhao Yancheng seemed to think about it in his mind, and then frowned: "This guy named Yang really has his mouth broken."

"It's true that Mr. Wen is in my mansion, but this king's mansion in the East China Sea, does everyone come and go as soon as they want?" Zhao Yancheng slowly picked up the teacup and smiled contemptuously: "But this man's surname is Yang. It is quite interesting that the descendant transported two thousand stones of refined salt into the backyard of the palace."

When everyone heard this, a big stone fell secretly in their hearts.They saw the prince so arrogant and condescending just now, they only regarded him as a nobleman who didn't like oil and salt.Now the meaning of the prince's words is clearly revealed, if they want to connect with the palace, they have to be sincere.

What merchants lack in the Eastern Territory is connections, but what they lack the most is money.The leading middle-aged man took another step forward, cupped his hands and said: "Caomin brings 3 taels of silver, congratulations to the prince for going south."

"The grassroots were terrified, and brought a thousand taels of gold and ten carts of colored silk, and came to meet the young master and His Highness."

"Caomin also brought tens of thousands of taels of silver, and I hope the prince will accept it with a smile."

Wen Xuechao, who was standing behind the curtain, heard the voices of people rising and falling in the hall, and smiled slyly at Zhao Fengci, this move was considered to be the right move.

"My lord, let me come and have a chat with all my masters. There are so many noisy people in the mansion today, it really disturbs my lord's cleanliness."

When everyone was chattering, they suddenly heard a clear and clear male voice from behind them, they didn't dare to look back in front of the prince, they just speculated secretly that the person who came must be Mr. Wen's family.

When Donghai King saw the person coming, his eyes flickered, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Okay."

"Why did you say that? If you don't want to bother me, you can bother me at the mansion for a while longer." Zhao Yancheng looked at the person meaningfully, "What do you think, Wen-gong-zi ?”

Wen Xuechao heard the tension between the two, and felt a little helpless on his face: "Why do they still have to compete in secret in front of the public?"

"It's pretty good." Zhao Feng said calmly.

Yang Shuyue stayed in the main hall to deal with the merchants who had their own interests. Zhao Yancheng walked around to the back of the hall and cleared his throat: "How is the king's posture just now?"

Wen Xuechao held back a smile: "The Tai Sui in Beijing who is hated the most by the common people in the world, has been learned by the Fourth Highness."

Zhao Yancheng raised his eyebrows: "I'm just following the gourd painting, and guessing according to Mr. Wen's past appearance."

"Fifth brother, you don't know something after you have been away from Beijing for many years. Master Wen has caused a lot of troubles in Guangyang in recent years." Zhao Yancheng ignored Wen Xuechao, whose expression changed slightly, and chatted to Zhao Fengci: "He None of those concubine brothers were successful, and they only used the name of Wenfu to do things outside. Two years ago, his third brother Wenxuan got involved with a girl who was a prostitute in the flower house, and the girl yelled He was about to jump off the roof of the pavilion, and the downstairs was full of people who watched the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal."

"Master Wen was very neat at that time. He just got off the court and didn't even take off his court clothes. He grabbed Wen Xuan by the collar and dragged him to the bottom of the flower building to kneel down. He whipped Wen Xuan to cry in front of everyone. Father called mother, and kowtowed to the girl several times, her head was covered with blood. After such a trouble, the girl naturally dispelled the idea of ​​suicide."

Wen Xuechao was about to interrupt him, but Zhao Fengci asked, "What about after that?"

Zhao Yancheng glanced at Wen Xuechao: "This Wenxuan's reputation is not good, but he was fine in the end. However, the people in Beijing have been talking about it since then, saying that Mr. Wen is not only cruel, but also very unreasonable. Rumors It was passed on by word of mouth, and later it went to the point where children who had never seen him in the homes of ordinary people would cry when his name was mentioned."

"I told Shimei one day, if you don't eat vegetarian food, be careful that Mr. Neishi will beat you with a whip. When Shimei heard this, she was so frightened that she burst into tears, and the crying lingered unceasingly."

Wen Xuechao: "..."

He glanced at Zhao Yancheng and told him to shut up.

But Zhao Yancheng said again: "This matter is not over yet, so Wen Xuan has always hated this matter and planned to get revenge. Wen Xuan took up an idle position in the Ministry of Officials, and one day he actually participated in Wen Xuan's appointment at Yushitai. The adults said that their elder brother had an affair with the female officer of Yuxiufang. This matter was aroused in the palace at that time, but after a thorough investigation by the empress, it turned out that the prince wanted to prepare a dress for the princess, and secretly hid it from the princess. Master Wen secretly went to the embroidery workshop to work as a supervisor."

"Wen Xuan's participation not only saved the crown prince's face, but also let the crown princess know the birthday ceremony in advance. Since then, he dared not make any mistakes. However, Lord Wen did not give up on this, but let the concubine The female officer embroidered several sets of luxurious robes, and wore them, dangling in front of Wen Xuan every day."

Zhao Fengci smiled, it was in line with Wen Xuechao's temperament to be so sure of vengeance.
