Langya's dream

Chapter 150 [Year-end Sacrifice]

"The honesty of Yao and Shun, they found the way by following them; He Jie and Zhou are rampant, and they only take shortcuts to avoid embarrassment; but the husband and party are stealing joy, and the road is narrow and dangerous; how can I be miserable and fearful?" The failure of the emperor's father; suddenly rushing to the front and back, and the former king's heel; Tsuen didn't notice Yu's feelings, but believed in greed and became angry; Yu Gu knew that he was a trouble, and he couldn't bear it... "

I leaned against Brother Su's bed and recited Lisao softly.

Now that I read the full text, I understand the meaning of it. When I was a student, I just memorized it by rote, and I didn’t know why I had to memorize it.

I put down the book, turned to brother Su and asked, "Tsuan didn't notice Yu Zhong's feelings, but he was greedy and angry; Yu Gu knew that he was a trouble, so he couldn't bear it; you said that at that time, King Qi Is Your Highness feeling the same as Qu Yuan?"

Brother Su put down his empty medicine bowl, "I don't know what I'm feeling, but I'm greedy and angry; the power of slander is enough to ruin a family and destroy a country."

"Okay, don't think about it anymore, it's time for you to rest today, Qing'er should go back too." Dr. Yan took the medicine bowl and instructed.

I stood up and straightened my clothes. Just as I was about to leave with Dr. Yan, I saw Li Gang rushing in.

"Sovereign, miss, Yan Yujin and Xiao Jingrui have arrived and are dismounting at the door."

When Dr. Yan heard this, his face darkened immediately, and he replied in a bad tone: "Is this the time to visit? Tell them, no see."

I turned my head to look at Brother Su, he wanted to see him; but he really couldn't bother anymore, the time Yu Wang came two days ago had already consumed some of his mind, not to mention Yujin was so noisy...

After thinking about it, I suggested: "Mr. Yan, you are also a son of a family, so it is not polite to refuse like this; how about this, I will replace Brother Su to see them, I guess it is not a big deal for them to come, Brother Su, you What do you think?"

Mei Changsu nodded in agreement, Dr. Yan saw that Mei Changsu agreed, so naturally he didn't say anything more.

I asked Li Gang to let the two of them wait in the main hall first, and then help Brother Su to my bedroom, and I went back to the room to clean up, after all, I still have to change clothes.

In the time it took for a stick of incense to burn, I quickly packed up and appeared in front of them with the face of Brother Su.

"Brother Su looks really good. I heard that you were seriously ill a few days ago, and you closed the door to thank the guests. Jingrui and I were taken aback."

Yujin almost rushed in, ran in front of me, examined me for a long time, and said such a sentence; I could only smile indifferently.

Jing Rui followed behind him, walked over slowly, straightened his clothes, sat down and said to Yu Jin, "It's not a trivial matter to get sick during this solar term."

"It's just a bit of cold, it's much better." I looked at the two of them and replied with a smile.

Yujin had a bright look on his face, needless to say, I also guessed that something good was going to happen.

"Brother Su, I brought a few baskets of tangerines that I just brought from Lingnan. You are sick and your mouth tastes bitter, so that is the best. Hey, I told them to bring some in when I entered the door just now, Feiliu." Yujin said. Shouted towards the door.

I put down the stove in my hand, flicked up my sleeves, poured two cups of tea for the two of them, and asked, "How was your trip to Tiger Hill?"

"It's so comfortable to soak in the hot spring. Brother Su should go, it's good for your body."

As soon as Yujin finished speaking, Fei Liu came over with a plate of tangerines. I picked one up and handed it to Fei Liu, who happily took it.

Fei Liu had just peeled the orange, threw it away before eating, went out and sat on the steps with his mouth pouted.

Seeing this, I raised my hand and smelled the orange, and there was no peculiar smell; "The orange is quite fresh, and it was transported from Lingnan. It must be an official ship." I ate a small piece and said.

"Well, that's right, it's an official ship sent directly from Lingnan Mansion. It doesn't need to stop for inspection halfway through Fujiang. It's naturally faster than ordinary ships. The rich and noble people in the capital like it. There are ten ships. It didn't take long. It's all over, and we can't grab it, Xin Hao, my father made an appointment in advance, so we have such a good fortune."

While Yujin was talking, he had already eaten two.

I took the orange and thought about it, and finally found the reason; the official ship, the queen fell ill, and the news brought by Tonglu two days ago, the black fire entered Beijing. Festival!

If it weren't for these clues gathered here, I would really have forgotten about it, but I still can't tell Brother Su, the evidence is insufficient, and the words are useless, telling him hastily will inevitably arouse his suspicion.

After thinking about it, I smiled and said softly: "So that's the case; that's really thanks to your kindness."

(Day [-], Jinling City, Imperial Palace)

"See Your Highness Prince Jing." Shen Zhui met Jingyan in the palace, raised his hand and made a gesture.

"Master Shen." Jingyan nodded slightly.

Seeing his hasty pace, Shen Zhui couldn't help asking, "Where are you going, Your Highness?"

"Today is Shuo Ri, and I can enter the palace to pay my respects to my mother as usual."

"Why, can't His Highness enter the palace to see Concubine Jing at any time?"

As soon as Shen Zhui said this, Jingyan's face became a little more helpless. It wasn't that he was helpless that he was not a prince, but that he couldn't give his mother a good life. Others are mothers who depend on their children, but he had to look at each other when they met. day.

After thinking about it, Jingyan replied calmly, "It is a privilege only for princes to enter the palace at any time. I am only a county king, so I don't have this kind of treatment."

"Who doesn't know that His Highness has fought all over the world and won countless military achievements, yet he doesn't even give him a rank."

Shen Zhui couldn't help not being angry for Jingyan; but Jingyan just lowered his head slightly, walked up to him and whispered in his ear, "You're still looking into the matter of water transportation, right?"

Shen Zhui looked around, and replied in a low voice: "I found out that there was black fire in the water transportation. The former Shangshulou Zhijing opened a furniture gun room in the west of the city, and it is still in operation."

"Private cannon house? This Lou Zhijing is so courageous; but he has been accused for a long time, why is it still in operation?"

"Naturally because there are other beneficiaries."

"You're saying that the crown prince colluded with the Ministry of Household Affairs to make huge profits by using his official status to open private gun houses! What are these things!"

Jingyan couldn't help but get a little angry. This Lou Zhijing did all sorts of crimes in his life, but he still doesn't rest in peace after his death. Once this private artillery house goes ablaze, it's the people who will be affected.

Seeing that Jingyan was angry, Shen Zhui nodded slightly to persuade him, "Your Highness, please calm down. I still have some evidence that I haven't verified. When the verification is complete, I will definitely get rid of this private gun house!"

Jingyan nodded; some things, the two hit it off right away.

(Jinling City, Su Residence)

I stood at the door of the room, listening to Jingyan and Brother Su talking for a long time; presumably, Brother Su should be able to guess where the black fires are going; I looked up at the somewhat gray sky, it should snow again in these two days; this year There is so much snow and water.

"His Royal Highness Prince Jing, this way please." Li Gang's voice brought me back to reality.

I turned around and saw Jingyan walking out the door, standing beside me; it seemed that the conversation was over.

"Your Highness, go slowly." I blessed my body and said.

Jingyan looked at me steadfastly, without saying a word, until Li Gang reminded me again, he turned and walked over.

When I saw him walking away, I felt an inexplicable tingling pain in my heart, as if something had been ripped away; I tightly closed my eyes and walked into the room.

"Brother Su, there is news from Tonglu that the black fire has been found, and most of them have entered the private artillery room, but there are still two ships of black fire missing." I went in and sat opposite brother Su.

Mei Changsu picked up the stove and hugged him, while thinking, he said: "The private artillery house has a long history of smuggling gunpowder with official ships, and the amount smuggled every year is fixed, but this year there are two more ships. Ship gunpowder, but did not enter the private artillery room in the end, but disappeared without anyone noticing."

At this moment Li Gang walked in, picked up two pieces of charcoal and put them in the stove.

"Maybe someone else smuggled these two ships of gunpowder." I said, pulling Brother Su's thoughts on the right path without any trace.

Upon hearing this, Li Gang answered, "That is to say, there is still a batch of gunpowder hidden in the capital for unknown where and for what purpose?"

Mei Changsu thought about it and said, "If you are transporting gunpowder to the city, if you're not making firecrackers, then you're trying to blow up something; this person can mobilize official ships, and he knows how to use cover-ups, using the household department and private artillery houses as shields." , he must not be an ordinary Jiang Hu person."

Brother Su was indeed right; I smiled secretly in my heart, but my face didn't show it at all, and I continued to pretend to ask: "Then does he want to kill people or destroy something? Is there any important occasion in the capital this year? Be his target?"

"The end of the year festival." After Mei Changsu finished speaking, he looked at me and said, "Do you still remember what you told me yesterday, that when Feiliu smelled the tangerines brought by Yujin, he threw them away after smelling them? The basket of citrus in Jindai was put together with the black fire, so Fei Liu could smell it naturally."

I pretended to be suddenly enlightened, and excitedly said to Brother Su and Li Gang: "So to mobilize the official ship, it must be someone with an official position. This official position does not have any contact with the private artillery room of the Ministry of Households. The important thing is that this official position , and let Yujin eat oranges with peace of mind! Isn’t that the Lord Yanhou? No wonder Yujin told me yesterday that Yanhou has been cultivating immortals and asking questions, and he didn’t even know about the queen’s serious illness!”

After Mei Changsu heard this, he stood up slowly, "It seems that the Queen's illness really has nothing to do with Concubine Yue; prepare the carriage, I'm going out." He ordered.

I stood up with him, took his cloak and handed it to him.

It's impossible not to let him go out at this moment, what's more, I really can't tell Yan Hou for him this time, firstly, I can't say anything about a person like Yanhou, secondly, the two want to see each other this time, The past will definitely be mentioned, and there is really no need for me to get involved.

I helped Brother Su fasten the cloak, and said softly, "Then I'll inform Commander Meng."

Mei Changsu nodded, I smiled slightly, and hurried back to my room.
