Chapter 102 Chapter 42: Breeze and Bright Moon

Chapter 42, The Wind and the Bright Moon, Part Three I took the tissue paper presented by Dong Que and examined it carefully. While reading it, I recorded part of it on another piece of paper.Dong Que has already told me what happened. Although Dong Que's means of retaliation are somewhat cruel, but in comparison, my means are probably more vicious, so I did not blame Dong Que, not to mention the deep hatred between him and Li Hanyou. Like the sea, I have always believed that everyone should be responsible for what they do, and I also think that it is better to do it yourself than to wait for the retribution from God, otherwise why should I embarrass the prince of a country?

After I sorted out the secret rudders of the Fengyi Gate that could be handled by King Yong, I asked someone to invite His Highness King Yong. Before King Yong came, I said to Xiao Shunzi, "Say, Wei How should adults handle things?" Xiao Shunzi thought for a while and said: "I think Wei Ying is so cruel and ruthless, even if Mr. Wei is left behind, it will be of no use. Moreover, Mr. Wei has a deep relationship with his father and son. I am afraid that he will not be able to deal with Wei Ying with all his heart. It is better to kill Mr. Wei." , so that Splendid Embroidery League can gain the trust of Fengyi Sect, I don’t know what Young Master thinks.”

I thought for a while and said: "Although Wei Guan did not participate in the rebellion, as the head of civil servants, he is not strict in running the family, so he should be punished, and I don't think he is completely ignorant of Wei Ying's affairs, but he didn't think about it." Wei Ying will participate in the rebellion, but he is still optimistic about the crown prince's succession. Wei Ying is smart, if Wei Guan is alive, then naturally he will kill Wei Ying righteously, if Wei Guan dies, his father's students are old , many people can't help but have some incense for Wei Ying, but Wei Ying is too smart, the so-called people take tea cold, and that kind of incense is not harmful to the overall situation, at most it is this time when Fengyimen withdraws from Dayong It’s just a little bit useful. Besides, His Royal Highness King Yong’s sword point, who dares to show favoritism? Well, let Wei Guan commit suicide, and there’s no need to worry about it. Just let the guards who monitor him relax a little bit, and say a few gossips. Can't Wei Guan commit suicide successfully?"

At this time, Xiao Shunzi suddenly winked, I knew that His Royal Highness King Yong had arrived, so I didn't say much, got up and went out to greet him.In the distance, King Yong came, accompanied by Shi Yu and Xiahou Yuanfeng. Seeing His Highness King Yong's expression, he knew that he must be in a good mood.I went forward and gave a salute and said: "His Royal Highness, please come here, I will be punished by death." While pleading guilty, I looked at Xiahou Yuanfeng, when did King Yong trust him so much? King Yong also saw Jiang Zhe's hesitant gaze, and he was also a little annoyed, regretting that he shouldn't have brought Xiahou Yuanfeng here, but this person has been very effective these days, with the help of this person, he was able to deal with the princes in the palace and court. The suppression of the forces went very smoothly, and the most rare thing is that this person is very caring. Two days ago, Jiang Zhe entered the palace privately. If there was no news from Xiahou Yuanfeng, he would not have time to smooth things over. So recently, he has gradually made Xiahou Yuan Feng was included in his confidantes. For this, Shi Yu and others were dissatisfied. Could it be that Jiang Zhe was also dissatisfied because of this.King Yong smiled awkwardly and said, "Suiyun, how are you recovering from your illness these few days, does this king have something important to discuss with you?"

After I invited King Yong and others to sit down, I presented the sorted list to King Yong and said, "Your Highness, here are the secret rudders of the Fengyi Gate that I found out. Please seize the opportunity to control these secret rudders, but It's best not to act immediately, so as not to arouse Fengyimen's suspicion of their subordinates' spies." King Yong took the list and looked at it for a while, then sighed and said: "Suiyun, the secret spies under your hands seem to be more powerful than the ones in the hands of my father and this king. I only know about three or four out of ten of these secret agents, or these few days. Just found out."

I heard what King Yong meant, and it turned out that he wanted to attack my secret agents, but Tianji Pavilion and Jinxiu League are not suitable to be handed over to King Yong now. After all, if someone finds out that King Yong and these two In order to dispel King Yong's thoughts and to change the topic, I sat down, lightly shook my folding fan and said: "Sun Tzu's art of war has five uses: there is a cause, there is a reason." In the inner room, there is the anti-room, there is the room of death, and there is the room of life. As far as the study of using the room is concerned, His Highness is very good at it. He once heard Mr. Dong say that when His Highness marches with troops, he must call the local natives wherever he goes. Inquiring in person is a good use of time. On that day, Dayong installed Liang Wan in Southern Chu, which can be called dead time. Through Liang Wan, Dayong Guang bought and deterred Southern Chu officials, which can be called an inner room. His Highness , set up a scout battalion in the army, responsible for reconnaissance of the army's situation and the enemy's situation.

Li Zhi said with some embarrassment: "How can my Wang Yongjian compare with Suiyun?" He glanced at Xiahou, and it was better not to let him know some things, so he didn't go on. If it wasn't for Jiang Zhe's arrangement, how could the prince lose his morals like this? If it wasn't for Jiang Zhe's arrangement, how could he mobilize people like Xiahou Yuanfeng for his own use and successfully reversed the situation.Since ancient times, famous generals are only good at using and commanding their own power, while Jiang Zhe is good at using the power of the enemy to do things for him. Li Zhi naturally couldn't learn this miraculous skill of using time.

I smiled and said: "The shortcoming of your highness is that you only know how to target the enemy, so your highness is very clear about the affairs around the prince, but not so much about the neutral Lord Wei and General Qin. , That's why we lost the opportunity in the hunting palace change. Not to mention anything else, His Highness should know by now that I have not reported some private matters to His Highness, but His Highness has never been suspicious, although this is the benefit of His Highness's appointment. But from now on, His Highness will become the emperor of Dayong, and all talents in the world will come to rely on His Highness. Does His Highness have to employ people without suspicion, and doubt people? Therefore, I suggest that His Highness set up another division in the ban. Only by setting up eyes and ears to monitor all officials and subjects can we ensure the stability of the monarchy and the Changan of the country."

Shi Yu frowned and said, "This way, wouldn't it make people in the government and the public panic, and if this is the case, those who hold the power of supervision will inevitably have too much power." Clearly doubting that I wanted to master the establishment. I smiled lightly and said: "This depends on how His Highness arranges. As long as His Highness separates the power of supervision from the power of disposal, this institution will not have power over the world. It depends on how His Highness acts. As long as His Highness does not convict people with the intelligence obtained from surveillance, then how can people panic? If it is important, then we can plan ahead.”

Li Zhi listened very carefully, his eyes flickered from time to time, and after I finished speaking, he said, "This king has long intended to set up a supervisory department in the prison, and Sui Yun is willing to take charge of it." I smiled slightly and said: "Your Highness, although Zhe is quite good at using time, but such things need a careful person to do, I have always been careless, how can I take on such a heavy burden, and I have recently recovered from a serious illness, and I also want to take good care of my body , I am afraid that I will not be able to do such a labor-intensive task."

Both Shi Yu and Xia Hou Yuanfeng's eyes flashed with astonishment. They originally thought that Jiang Zhe wanted to control the supervision power by himself, but he refused.Shi Yu felt a little guilty, thinking, I should have known that Jiang Zhe was a man of high character and never had the intention of fighting for power and profit.Xiahou Yuanfeng, however, had a fiery light in his eyes. This supervisory department was set up just for him. He is confident that he can take up such a dark position. Moreover, this position must be a low-ranking official with great power. If someone else takes it, it is inevitable It will make King Yong worry about losing power, which is probably the reason why Jiang Zhe resolutely declined, but he was originally on the side of the prince, and now the subordinates of King Yong who control the military and political power are basically wary of him. Assuming this position, King Yong can rest assured, because he only has King Yong as his backer. In order to maintain King Yong's rule, he must do his best, and he dare not ignore it, and dare not give birth to a heart of betrayal. At this time, Li Zhi also thought of this, he couldn't help but look at Xiahou Yuanfeng, Xiahou Yuanfeng reacted quickly and immediately showed a look of utter loyalty, Li Zhi nodded slightly and did not speak. I saw all this interaction, and I couldn't help but feel happy. In fact, even if I didn't say anything, King Yong would think of establishing an internal supervision organization sooner or later. I proposed it on my own initiative, but I refused to be the person in charge of this organization. , King Yong must have more trust in me, and King Yong will definitely think that Xiahou Yuanfeng is a good candidate, because he can only be prosperous and rich if he is loyal to King Yong.And Xiahou Yuanfeng is also a good candidate for me. Although he is capricious and has a vicious mind, he is also a person who understands current affairs. He knows how powerful I am. Won't come and embarrass me. After a while, King Yong came to his senses and said: "Suiyun, in a few days, it will be the grand ceremony for the establishment of the crown prince. You are the first one, so you have to come to watch the ceremony." Naturally, I readily agreed, and asked again: "Your Highness, after you become the crown prince, you can formally supervise the country. Do you have any arrangements?" King Yong said: "This king has already informed my father that Wei Guan, the original Zhongshuling, is no longer able to be the prime minister because of his suspicion of treason. My father wants to serve Zheng Xia to be promoted to Zhongshuling. This king has agreed. It is also agreed that Ziyou will serve as the right servant of Shangshu." I clapped my hands and said: "Your Highness is really wise. Although Mr. Ziyou is a complementary talent, if you enter the Zhongshu Province now, after all, your qualifications are still young, and now the people of the government and the opposition are not stable. The current Shangshu Lingben is a cowardly person. Ziyou can do it freely in the Shangshu Province as Shangshu Zuopushe. The Shangshu Province directly governs the six ministries. His Highness is You can take the opportunity to reorganize the six departments, and after a few years, Mr. Ziyou will be able to enter the Ministry of Education, but in this way, who will take the position of servant, this position needs a person who is strict and dare to advise." Li Zhi smiled and said, "Suiyun really understands the deep meaning of it. Zheng Shizhong issued the order in the palm of his hand, which is exactly what everyone expects. The new servant, the king has already made plans, and has decided that Wei Guogong Cheng Shu will be in charge." I froze for a moment, and said, "Wei Guogong?" Wei Guogong Cheng Shu's always somewhat lazy look came to mind. Shi Yu smiled and said: "Exactly, although Wei Guogong is usually a little cynical, he is honest and upright. Although he was a servant, although he was transferred from a military officer to a civilian post, but His Highness doesn't want him to go to the battlefield again. Let the emperor rest assured." I thought about it, and sure enough, Wei Guogong is the most suitable candidate. Back then, when Fengyimen was so powerful, this old man was also a person who dared to speak out, and he had a close relationship with the emperor, and he was also a very good middleman. Avoid conflicts between Zheng Xia and Shi Yu. King Yong spoke up, and said: "In addition, the general has decided to resign from his official position, and this king has appointed General Qin Yong as the commander of the imperial army. In this way, both the father and the king can feel at ease." I smiled slightly, it seems that pure ministers like Zheng Xia, Qin Yi and Cheng Shu are the real evergreens. At this moment, Li Zhi glanced at me suddenly, and said with some anxiety: "But there is one thing, I am ashamed of you. I once asked my father to marry you and Changle, but my father was worried that you were weak and sick, so I refused. Promised marriage, but don't worry, as soon as your health improves in a year or two, this king will definitely ask your father to marry you again. And you don't have to worry, the father has already ordered Changle to be named Princess Changle of Ningguo, and built for her Mansion, it seems that the father will not force Changle to marry someone else, you are still young, wait a year or two, and you will be able to be harmonious." I laughed secretly in my heart, I knew that King Yong would find time to tell this matter, so as to comfort me not to be discouraged, so I made a look of disappointment. I had no choice but to say goodbye and leave.After King Yong left, I immediately found Xiao Shunzi and told him that the plan could start. In order to quickly stabilize the situation, the grand ceremony for the establishment of the crown prince was held on October 25th. On that day, Sima Jiangzhe, the king of Yong, was ill in bed due to the wind and cold, so he was unable to participate in the ceremony.So when an ordinary carriage went out of town, no one thought that I was in the carriage.I had already changed into an ordinary green shirt, and while playing with the folding fan in my hand, I wondered if there would be any openings left.It was a decision I had made long ago to leave when King Yong ascended to the reserve position. Firstly, it was a matter of enmity, and it was useless to stay with His Highness King Yong. There are many military and political talents around His Highness King Yong. Well, just for the sake of His Highness, I showed my sharpness in the Hunting Palace Change, which not only made people like Master Cizhen jealous, but even Zheng Xia, Qin Yi and others couldn't help feeling chills in their hearts. If I continue to stay by King Yong's side, They must always be worried that His Royal Highness King Yong used my "insidious" strategy. Instead of making them doubt King Yong's bright and upright intentions, I might as well leave. With King Yong's status, there is no need to leave behind a person who favors evil and insidious schemes The shadow of the knight.So I decided to leave a long time ago, and Emperor Yong's refusal to marry was also one of the motivations for me to leave. So I took advantage of the time when King Yong's mansion was busy with King Yong's inauguration ceremony, first asked Xiao Shunzi to pick up Roulan, and then took advantage of the slack in defense, and left under the support of Chen Zhen, Han Wuji and others Chang'an, along the way, I have arranged many false appearances, so I can definitely disappear into the sea of ​​people smoothly. Gently stroking Roulan's sleeping face, I sighed. The only regret is that I have no relationship with the princess. Now Princess Ningguo Changle has a noble status. How can I have the heart to let her wander around the world with me? Will not be returning to Dayong again. After leaving the Mingde Gate, I recalled the scene of being imprisoned and taken into Chang'an after being captured by King Yong, and I couldn't help smiling. Although it was only two years ago, Chang'an left such a deep impression on my heart. , no matter where I go, I will always think about the scenery of Chang'an.After walking for an unknown amount of time, suddenly, Xiao Shunzi's voice floated in and said, "My lord, a nobleman is here to see him off!" I was taken aback, I left Chang'an, except for my subordinates, no one knew, how could someone see me off, opened the curtain of the car, my eyes immediately froze, in the long pavilion on the side of the road ahead, a The plain-clothed woman stood in the long pavilion, with towering temples, wearing an emerald green cloak, beside her stood an elegant woman in her thirties, and a handsome boy in her teens.I exclaimed, those three people were actually Princess Changle, and Zhou Shangyi and Xiaoliuzi beside her.How is this going?With Xiao Shunzi's support, I quickly jumped out of the car, walked into the long pavilion, and asked urgently: "Your Highness, why did you come to see us off?" Princess Changle resentfully said: "If Xiao Shunzi hadn't told you, would you have gone away from now on, regardless of my deep affection." I said awkwardly: "Your Highness, from now on, Zhe is a grassroots citizen, but the princess has a noble status. Not to mention anything else, just the title of Ningguo can make the princess glorious for the rest of her life. I—" Princess Changle stretched out her slender hand, covered my mouth, and said sweetly: "I don't care about the glory and wealth, I only know that I have no debts to Dayong, my father, queen and mother are in good health, and my brother will be filial , if you don't dislike it, I am willing to leave with you, and live a normal life from now on, as a loving couple in the folk." I can no longer suppress the ecstasy in my heart, it's not that I haven't thought that I can fly away with Chang Le, but the emperor's conferment made me retreat.The title of Princess Ningguo Changle is not obtained casually. Any daughter of the royal family may get the title of princess, but this title is only two characters, and the two-character title of Ningguo is because of Princess Changle's great achievements in suppressing the rebellion. However, there are only a few princesses who have obtained such a title throughout the ages.So I gave up, I didn't expect Princess Changle to be willing to give up such an honor and fly away with me. Taking a step forward, holding Princess Changle's plain hand, I said, "Your Highness, Zhe is grateful for your favor. Although Zhe is no more than a grassroots man, I will definitely make the princess happy." Princess Changle's jade face was bright red, and she whispered: "If I don't believe you, why should I obey you? But don't call me Your Royal Highness, my name is Li Zhen, from now on you will call me Zhen Come on." I only felt tenderness in my heart, and said in a low voice: "Zhen'er, I will definitely not let you down." Princess Changle thought of the bitter love for many years, and finally today, her eyes turned red, and she threw herself into my arms. I hugged Princess Changle's delicate body tightly with one hand, but my eyes looked at Xiao Shunzi gratefully. , if he hadn't made his own decisions, I'm afraid that I would really die alone.Xiao Shunzi smiled slightly, but did not speak. I helped Princess Changle into the carriage, while Zhou Shangyi and Xiaoliuzi got into the carriage behind. They were all loyal to Princess Changle, and they didn't want to be punished for losing the princess, so they went together. The carriage set off again, I held the slender hand of Princess Changle, and I felt full of joy, God, after all, it was my blessing to let me get such a close and loving partner after losing Piaoxiang.As for how the emperor and King Yong will react, I have long since forgotten about it. Anyway, I don't really plan to go back to that intriguing officialdom again. King Yong, who was formally registered as the prince, returned to the palace, and soon got the news of Jiang Zhe's disappearance. He rushed to Hanyuan, only to see that all the guards were drugged, and all the rewards rewarded by King Yong in the garden They were all sealed up, and nothing was taken. All documents and letters were listed in the catalogue, some indicated where they were stored, and some indicated that they had been burned.On the desk, there was a letter from Jiang Zhe.After Li Zhi opened it, he saw a short poem written on it. "The gold waistband has been withdrawn from storage, and the news is not unusual. People in the world who want to know the Hanyuan guest are just Jiangnan scholars." Li Zhi sighed, sat down on the chair, and said, "Can't Gu still convince you?" At this time Xiahou Yuanfeng said: "Your Highness, there is a piece of news that might make His Highness happy?" Li Zhi raised his eyebrows to express his doubts, Xia Hou Yuanfeng said with a smile: "Just now I got the news that Mr. Jiang is leaving, so I asked someone to inquire about it. It seems that Princess Changle left the palace today, and the princess only brought Zhou Shangyi and a young eunuch with her. Some guards, but these guards who are in charge of protection have already returned to the palace to plead guilty, because they were restrained, and finally escaped and came back to report. Her Royal Highness is also missing." Li Zhi's eyes lit up, and he said, "You mean Chang Le eloped with Yun." Xiahou Yuanfeng said respectfully: "I dare not make judgments, but Your Highness, if there is no news from the princess, she should go with Master Jiang." Li Zhi laughed and said: "Okay, okay, Changle finally has courage, as long as Suiyun becomes Gu's sister-in-law, Gu can rest assured, he will come back sooner or later." Frowning, he said: "But the emperor's side I'm afraid I will get angry, I have to go to the palace quickly to persuade him." At this time, Shi Yu hurried in and said: "Your Highness, the border military reported that Long Tingfei led the army out of Mingshui Pass and invaded Zhenzhou. The military situation is urgent." Li Zhi raised his eyebrows, and said: "Sure enough, I have come, and I will send an order immediately, and this king will fight in person." Shi Yu resolutely said: "Your Highness, this is not acceptable. In the past, you were the prince who led troops, so you could naturally lead troops to fight. Now you are the prince of the country, and you are also responsible for supervising the country. Now that the domestic situation has not been stabilized, Your Highness must control it in Beijing." The overall situation, otherwise it is a small loss, and His Highness can no longer put himself in danger, His Highness's identity is already different." Li Zhi frowned, the change of status made him a little uncomfortable, and he fell into distress for a while, who else can lead the army except himself, Da Yong must be a general, but he has to choose one who can resist Longting It is not so easy to fly handsomely.Seeing Jiang Zhe's letter on the table next to him, he smiled wryly and said, "Suiyun, why are you leaving alone at this time?" At this time, Xia Hou Yuanfeng suddenly said: "Your Highness, there seems to be some words behind the letter." Li Zhi was taken aback for a moment, went forward to pick up the letterhead, and sure enough, there was a line of small characters on the back, which read, "Northern Han will definitely take the opportunity to invade the country, but the only one who can be handsome is Qi Wang Li Xian, His Royal Highness sincerely invites you, and His Highness Qi Wang will definitely bow to his orders. " Holding the letter, Li Zhi was stunned for a while, his expression changed a lot, and he didn't speak for a long time. At this moment, a guard rushed over and said, "Your Highness, all the adults are already waiting for His Highness to discuss matters in the main hall." Li Zhi came to his senses, smiled slightly, and said, "Gu's going now, pass Gu's decree, this cold garden will be closed from now on, no one is allowed to enter without permission, the servants in the garden will stay and take care of everything here, Don't slack off." After finishing speaking, Li Zhi flicked his robe sleeves and walked out, there are still important matters waiting for him to deal with. At this time, it was late autumn, the moon was shining in the sky, and the garden was full of breeze. Li Zhi was walking in the cold garden, but his heart was full of pride. Northern Han Dynasty, Southern Chu, just wait, my Dayong iron cavalry will come soon up. ————————————————— The third part has come to an end, and Jiang Zhe has also retired.
