Willing to be hired by Jiangshan

hypocrisy

After taking a short nap at noon, Lin Rongchen opened his eyes. Eunuch Zhou had returned, and he waited on him to dress neatly. Taking advantage of the time, he said, "Master Yan went to Dali Temple at noon, and I heard that he went to visit Mr. He."

"Do you know what the two of them said?" Lin Rongchen turned around, and Eunuch Zhou tied the jade belt for him, "Tighten it up!"

"The emperor has lost weight in the past few days." Eunuch Zhou was very distressed, and while collecting the jade belt, he said, "I don't know. Will the emperor call Mr. He over to ask?"

"Forget it, let's talk!" Now that I saw He Shuyue, there was nothing to get to the bottom of it.What should be said and what should not be said, He Shuyue weighed it better than anyone else.But Lin Rongchen didn't expect that He Shuyue was tight-lipped about state affairs, but she had an unusual interest in their private affairs. After some crazy temptations and reminders, Yan Xi lost his mind and became restless.

"However..." Eunuch Zhou hesitated, "I heard from people in Dali Temple that Mr. Yan looked very bad when he left." This Mr. He doesn't look like a person who can bully others!

"Next time you see Yan Xi, you can ask him." Lin Rongchen straightened his clothes and turned, "What has King Jing been doing recently?"

Zhou Gonggong said: "Reporting to the emperor, King Jing is the same as before. He doesn't go out very much. I heard that besides sleeping and eating, he spends his days planting flowers and playing with birds. Compared with the emperor, his life is very leisurely."

Lin Rongchen was slightly angry, "You can't return to the fief, you can't go to court, in order not to attract attention, you don't even come out of the gate! Such a disguised imprisonment, do you think it is very leisurely?"

Eunuch Zhou turned pale suddenly: "Old slave...Old slave made a slip of the tongue."

"Get up!" Lin Rongchen said sadly, "I'm angry with myself, it has nothing to do with you." He was angry that he didn't know how to solve the current situation.Now that Yunchu is facing internal and external troubles, and is facing enemies, for the sake of the throne, he still keeps Lin Ronghan tightly bound.Although this foreign invasion is just a celestial prophecy, it cannot be said that it is completely unreliable.

Knowing that he wanted to repair the relationship with Prince Jing, Eunuch Zhou reminded: "The autumn hunting in August, the royal family and all civil and military officials will participate, and Prince Jing can come out to breathe."

With just this sentence, Lin Rongchen already understood what he meant, and his expression softened a lot.At that time, he will have a lot of opportunities to settle his suspicions with Lin Ronghan.

At nightfall, one man and one horse rushed into the city ahead of the curfew.The sound of horseshoes was rapid, and a man in black disappeared into the dark alley after a while.

Half an hour later, the man in black appeared in the Grand Master's Mansion.

Fu Zhuo read the letter in his hand twice, and his eyes grew more joyful, "Wei Shao, is this news accurate?"

"It's absolutely true!" Wei Shao replied, "My subordinates have made repeated investigations in Yutian and Suzhou, and confirmed that the news is true!"

Fu Zhuo nodded and laughed loudly, "God helped me!"

Wei Shao said: "My subordinates were very surprised when they got this news for the first time! It's still the grand master who is so powerful that he was able to find out that there was something wrong with Yan Xi."

"Well, you've worked hard too, go down and rest first!"

Wei Shao bowed and was about to step back, when Fu Zhuo said again: "Since you are back, let this old man deal with one person." Wei Shao always handles affairs neatly, so Fu Zhuo is relieved when he is entrusted to him.

Wei Shao said, "Who?"

"Li Yuan, the censor of Zuodu. This old guy has lived enough, how dare he join this old man!" Fu Zhuo had long wanted to deal with him, but Wei Shao had been away and never came back, which made him live a little longer day.

"Yes!" After Wei Shao withdrew, Fu Zhuo summoned his generals and secretly sent someone to invite Huang Jingchun.

He held the letter in his hand, such a major event must be properly arranged!

With the last appointment in Piaoxianglou, Yan Xi soon received a second invitation.To go or not to go, he hesitated again and again.Since the other party has offered to show their favor several times, it must be that I have some use for them.It would be best if he could take this opportunity to find out some useful news.But if he went, Lin Rongchen would have to misunderstand, thinking of his frosty face, Yan Xi retreated a little.But if you don't go, I'm afraid you won't have another chance in the future.

After thinking and thinking, he made a choice—go!must go!

Qiu Zhonghai felt that he was completely played by Yan Xi last time, and he was very unhappy.If Huang Jingchun hadn't told him to win over Yan Xi, he wouldn't have made a deal with Yan Xixu and pretended to be a snake. "Does Brother Yu really want to stand by Brother Yu's side?"

Yan Xi nodded with sincere eyes, "Of course!"

Qiu Zhonghai said: "Since that's the case, you have to show some sincerity, don't you? What happened last time really hurt Brother Yu's heart."

"This..." Yan Xi began to pretend to be stupid, "I really don't know what brother Zhonghai means? How can brother Zhonghai believe me?" Qiu Zhonghai didn't say it clearly, and of course he couldn't admit that he had already seen through them. What is the calculation.Besides, Yan Xi never said that someone secretly manipulated her to win the first prize.

"Forget it, let's not mention the past." Qiu Zhonghai really didn't use any excuse to settle accounts with Yan Xi, so he said in a low voice, "Can you help the Grand Master get rid of Gu Tingzhi? As long as you can get rid of Gu Tingzhi, from now on, You and I are on the same boat!"

"Get rid of Gu Tingzhi?" Yan Xi frowned, this wasn't tricky, it was tooth extraction.If he got rid of Gu Tingzhi, Lin Rongchen would have to tear him apart.

"Do you know why Gu Tingzhi left the capital?" Qiu Zhonghai said mysteriously: "It is said that his sweetheart was robbed by a gangster named Ye Zhen in Yangzhou back then. He had no way to complain, but Ye Zhen broke his leg. That's why he went to Beijing to become an official in a fit of anger. Now that he is in power, he naturally wants to go back and seek revenge on that little bastard. He never thought that he would fall in love with his enemy after repaying his revenge..."

Yan Xi's brain is a bit insufficient, "You mean... Gu Tingzhi fell in love with... um, the little bastard who stole his sweetheart?"

"That's not true!" Qiu Zhonghai also felt that there are all kinds of wonders in the world, and he clicked his tongue a few times, "The key is that he resorted to tricks, Ye Zhen's father was exiled, and the elder brother was a slave in Prince Jing's Mansion."

Wait... Ye Zhen?Why is this name so familiar?Could it be the boy he saved!When he returned home from the palace that day, Ye Zhen had already left.Yan Xi only remembered mentioning Gu Tingzhi to him, his face was frighteningly pale, so there was another reason for this.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Qiu Zhonghai say: "It is said that he is a slave... Do you know why King Jing married three wives, and why the three concubines died suddenly on the night of their marriage?"

"Why?" This is exactly what Yan Xi has been curious about before!He pricked up his ears, for fear of missing a word.

"King Jing is so masculine." Qiu Zhonghai whispered, giving him a "you understand" look, "So..."

"Huh?" Yan Xi almost bit his tongue, what did he hear in such a short time?After a little thought, these are all shocking dramas! "King Jing actually..."

Qiu Zhonghai lowered his voice, "That's not true! Everyone in the court knew how much the late Emperor liked him! Why didn't he pass the throne to him? Wasn't it because he was so masculine and would have no heirs in the future? Wouldn't it mean that Yunchu's century-old foundation would be cut off? ?”

Good masculinity, no heirs, broken foundation... Suddenly, Yan Xi was hit with a sap.He rubbed his forehead, yes, the emperor must have heirs.How could Lin Rongchen be an exception?He was going down a dead end.

Seeing that his expression was different, Qiu Zhonghai asked with concern, "What's wrong, brother?"

"It's okay, it's just that I didn't sleep well yesterday." Yan Xi smiled again, "Brother Zhong Hai, please continue."

Qiu Zhonghai continued: "You say that Gu Tingzhi is digging his own grave. If the emperor didn't favor him, he would have been imprisoned for doing this. Recently, I heard that the emperor has the intention to call him a son-in-law, so this person cannot be kept."

I'm afraid the matter of the son-in-law may be blown, Yan Xi didn't bother to explain to him, "If you want to get rid of him, you can just report this to the emperor, why are you looking for me?"

Qiu Zhonghai shook his head, "I'm afraid it's not easy for this one alone. What the grand master wants is to cut the grass and roots, and don't give him a way out."

Yan Xi pondered for a moment, then asked: "Then Ye Zhen hates him to the core?"

"Does that even need to be said?"

"Brother Zhong Hai, let me plan carefully." He always had a feeling of sympathy for Gu Tingzhi, the champion who had never met before.After returning home, I immediately sent a letter to Liang Yanwen, asking him to investigate all the movements of Gu Tingzhi in Yangzhou, and asking him to beware of Ye Zhen and Qiu Zhonghai, and to check the salt fields in Liangzhe for any abnormalities.

Fu Zhuo's rebelliousness has reached the point where everyone knows, but the emperor has suddenly been clouded recently, probably because he has already taken some actions, either recruiting troops or forming a clique for personal gain.The latter is what he has been doing all the time, so the only thing that makes Lin Rongchen a headache is recruiting soldiers and privately raising troops.

Privately building an army requires huge financial resources to support it. The fastest way to get money in Yunchu is nothing more than mining and taxation.Yunchu's mines are all in the northwest, and most of them are hidden in the deep mountains. If they mine privately, it is extremely difficult to be found, but Yantian is easy to investigate.A few days ago, he heard about the transfer of the patrolling salt censor, so he paid more attention.We must know that the salt tax can account for three-tenths of the treasury tax revenue, which is also a very considerable income.

The days have not been peaceful for a few days, and the court has become uneasy again.

Officials above the fifth rank of Yun Chu have to go to court early every day, and officials above the ninth rank only need to go to court on the first and fifteenth of each month.Today coincided with the fifteenth day, Yan Xi entered the Mingde Hall, and saw all the ministers whispering to each other, as if something important had happened... He moved towards the crowd who were discussing in low voices, and said curiously: "My lords, But what happened?"

"That's not it!" The person who spoke happened to be a colleague of the Imperial Academy, "Master Yan, haven't you heard? Li Yushi disappeared last night..." The speaker looked around quietly with fear in his eyes, but no one was there. Pay attention to yourself before you breathe a sigh of relief. "Stop talking, stop talking."

"Li Yushi? Which Li Yushi?" Yan Xi held him tight.

The colleague whispered in his ear: "Li Yuan, the censor of Zuodu."

"Li Yuan?" Yan Xi exclaimed, the Li Yuan who impeached Huang Jingchun?

"Shh! Be quiet!"

"Why not?"

The man shook his head reticently.

Yan Xi frowned, could it be that Huang Jingchun found out about the impeachment, and he killed people in a fit of anger to vent his anger?

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a long shout, "The emperor-shang-drive-arrive!"

Surprisingly, Lin Rongchen did not raise any objection to Li Yuan's sudden death throughout the early court, only a long sigh of regret.No one in the ruling and opposition parties has any doubts.

In the early morning, he stopped Eunuch Zhou and asked to see the emperor, but he only got two simple words - no see!

"Why not?" Yan Xi was puzzled.

Duke Zhou raised the Buddha dust in his hand, bowed and said, "Master Yan, why don't you wait until the next time you see the emperor and ask him in person?"

Yan Xi was very angry, but fortunately this time will come soon.
