retaliate

Chapter 398 Of course it's for promotion
"Swallow!"

Helianyan is here again.

"Uncle Huang, today I bought a leg of lamb."

He Lianchun nodded, "The leg of lamb is good. This king used to like it the most. If you have some more drinks, ouch! It's a day when gods don't change it."

He Lianyan arranged the food and said apologetically, "The leg of lamb is a bit burnt."

"It's okay, this king likes to eat sticky food."

He Lianchun didn't use a knife... Ever since he was placed under house arrest, all sharp weapons have been confiscated.

He gnawed it away, and the scorched part was like charcoal, covering the corners of his mouth and face black.

He was engrossed in gnawing on the roast leg of lamb, making humming sounds from time to time.

Like a hog.

When in Tanzhou, Uncle Huang would not take a second look at the leg of lamb that was not roasted.

Without a knife, Uncle Huang would rather use chopsticks than grab meat with his hands.

After dinner, Helianyan went in to clean up.

Uncle Huang hiccupped and said contentedly: "Yan'er, what's going on with Yang Xuan?"

He Lianyan shook her head, "He was assassinated yesterday."

"Ok?"

After listening to He Lianyan's description, He Lianchun squinted his eyes and rubbed his greasy hands together.

"Let the third child go to receive Yang Xuan, this is the meaning of the test! But the crown prince made such an arrangement, but you want to leave the third child?"

"No, let the Tang Dynasty attack the Southern Zhou Dynasty...Since this is not possible, why is the prince torturing the third child?"

"Assassination... Ninety-nine percent of this is a good thing the prince did!"

He Lianchun suddenly laughed, "Has the emperor ever had a headache?"

"I don't know."

"Yang Xuan's promise to you is because of his acquaintances, but that brat is the one who won't do anything if he sees no benefit. Yan'er..."

"Uncle Royal."

"You come."

Helianyan leaned over.

"There is a blacksmith's shop in the west of the city. In the well in the backyard, go down about two steps along the mouth of the well. There is a stone on the side that can be taken out. There is an oiled paper bag inside..."

He Lianchun looked at her, "Inside is a fairy statue carved from suet white jade, which is priceless, you go and get it, and give it to Yang Xuan."

"Uncle Huang, I promise to use my life as a reward!"

"Stupid girl!" Uncle Huang panted with a smile, "What kind of person is Yang Xuan? You have dealt with him in the past, did he ever give you a soul?"

Helianyan shook her head.

Last time she almost threw Yang Xuan down, but Yang Xuan avoided it.

"Beauty can't be seduced, so what is your life worth? Don't say it's your ability, Yan'er, he is now the governor of Chenzhou, as long as he is willing, he can recruit talents. What will you do? Settle accounts and manage affairs... Will he be short of such people?"

Uncle Huang sighed, "Beautiful women always think highly of themselves, Yan'er, you have to remember, since he doesn't like your person, he naturally doesn't like your life."

He Lianyan sat down in a daze, "So, what are we left with?"

"Fate, resign to fate!"

……

He Lianyan went to look for Yang Xuan.

I happened to meet someone from the palace.

"There will be a banquet in the palace tonight to see off the envoys of the Tang Dynasty."

Wang Deng's complexion changed slightly.

Liang Jing took a deep breath, "It's easy to say!"

As soon as the visitor left, Wang Deng said, "It's a pity that time doesn't wait for me!"

Liang Jing said with a smile: "Since that's the case, then this is my fate. I'll stay dormant for a while longer."

He wanted to ascend to the throne of Minister of the Ministry of War in one fell swoop, so as to intervene in the court.But now it seems that this wish will be postponed.

"Not in a hurry."

Yang Xuan thought for a while, "Even if you have a banquet, it doesn't mean you're leaving right away, it's okay to delay for a few days. However, there are many dreams in the night, Lao Liang!"

"Here!" Liang Jing was counting on Yang Xuan at this moment.

No, the whole village is counting on him.

"You go to see the third prince!"

"What reason?"

"Ask for poetry!"

Liang Jing was startled, "Ask for poetry? His poems are mediocre, hey! Zitai, are you trying to build momentum for the third prince?"

"That's right!" Yang Xuan grinned and said, "During the banquet, Wang Shilang... By the way, Wang Shilang is good at flattering?"

Wang Deng said casually: "This is the housekeeping skill of this old man!"

Everyone: "..."

Wang Deng said embarrassingly: "I'm getting old, I like to talk nonsense."

Yang Xuan said: "During the banquet, Wang Shilang remembered to praise the prince and the third prince a lot, but the third prince got seven points, and the prince got three points."

"I'm afraid that many important officials from the Northern Liao Dynasty will come tonight to praise the third prince in front of them, tsk tsk! The prince is probably ready to kill someone." Liang Jing sighed.

"Wait until tomorrow, Lao Liang remembers to invite the third prince to be a guest, and he said thank you. Afterwards, the old king arranged for someone to go to the wind, and said that the third prince is graceful and luxurious, and the prince is sharp..."

I'm driving you crazy!
……

East Palace.

The prince and Song Zhan are discussing secretly.

"Tonight is an opportunity." The prince's eyes sparkled.

Song Zhan hesitated, "Why don't you wait a little longer!"

"What are you waiting for?" The prince sneered, "He wanted to abolish Gu on purpose, but he won't abolish him now, it's just that he didn't find an excuse."

Song Zhan showed embarrassment for the first time, "Your Highness, the third prince is still immature, and it is impossible for His Majesty to make him the crown prince."

"It's good to be immature!" The prince laughed, looking at the extraordinarily sad, "The son is strong and the father is not old, it is a happy event for ordinary people, but for the royal family, this is a sad event!"

"Your Highness, take it easy!" Song Zhan advised, "Let them go away! Let's see what Your Majesty means when we hunt after autumn."

"Your Highness." A confidant appeared outside the hall.

"What's the matter?"

"Liang Jing, deputy envoy of the Tang Dynasty, went to the third prince to ask for a poem."

The prince took a deep breath, "Even they know that it is useless to ask for loneliness, so it is better to ask Saburo. Sir, if outsiders are like this, what will happen to those courtiers?"

"This matter..." Song Zhan blushed slightly, and kept taking deep breaths, "I'm afraid that things will fail..."

The crown prince sneered, "The Great Tang ordered Yang Xuan, the governor of Chenzhou, to hide in the embassy, ​​waiting for an opportunity to assassinate Aye! The first thing Gu did after ascending the throne was to attack the northern border south and avenge Aye!"

Song Zhan lowered his head, and raised it slowly for a long time, "The third prince colluded with Tang envoys to assassinate His Majesty by taking advantage of the banquet!"

"Gu, of course I know, I just want to wait for you to say it yourself!" The prince stared at him, "Sir, this matter is certain, we are people on the same boat. If you are lonely, sir will be my right-hand man."

Song Zhan was a little confused and ignored the fact that the prince claimed to be Zhen.

"Where are those people?"

"Gu has been preparing since the day before yesterday, just waiting for an order."

"Your Majesty..."

"Anxin, I have the means, even if the matter fails, he will not be able to abolish the lonely crown prince!"

Song Zhan looked at him, "Of course I can trust His Majesty's methods, this matter..."

The prince likes to do calculations, and pursues the realm of exhaustive calculations. He wants to achieve perfection in everything and take all the benefits for himself.

"Since Your Highness has decided on a strategy, I can only do my best to help."

Song Zhan got up and walked to the front of the prince.

kneel down.

"Chen, it's just death!"

The prince got up and went to help Song Zhan, and said with a smile, "I still have to rely on Mr. So, take care of yourself!"

After Song Zhan left, the prince called several people to arrange things for tonight.

The last one is the servant.

"Go and tell him it's time to take his medicine."

The servant bowed, walked backwards to the outside of the hall, turned and left.

……

"I'm hungry." He Lianfeng put down the memorial.

"Slaves, let's take a look." He Zhong bowed his head.

After a while, the food was delivered, and there was a very delicate roast beef.

"It tastes good." Helian Feng praised.

He Zhong smiled and said, "The new chef's skills seem to be pretty good."

……

"What if He Lianfeng is killed?"

The old thief is looking wild.

"Not really." Tu Chang shook his head.

The two were sitting in the open space outside the house, enjoying the autumn wind and basking in the sun.

"Once He Lianfeng dies, Lin Ya and the others will definitely rise up, and then there will be chaos in the Beiliao army, and the Northern Xinjiang army will take advantage of the situation..." The old thief said happily.

"Even if Beiliao is destroyed, what good will it do Lang Jun?" Tu Chang asked.

The old thief laughed dryly: "Get promoted and get rich!"

"Get promoted and get rich?" Tu Chang said indifferently: "Without Beiliao, Northern Xinjiang will become useless. At that time, where will Mr. Lang go to work? Southern Xinjiang? Or Chang'an."

Southern Xinjiang is someone else's territory, and it is difficult for outsiders to intervene.

Chang'an... that is entering the vortex.

"What do you think?"

"The old man feels... that it might be better if he became a Jiedu envoy."

"Why do you say that?"

"Your Excellency's deeds in the city are all about subduing people's hearts and attacking the three major ministries. The old man often thinks, once the emperor and courtiers, Langjun is just an assassin, why subdue people's hearts? What do you think?"

"Uh! Of course it's loving the people like a son."

"is it?"

"of course."

"That's it!"

The old thief found Yang Xuan later.

"The villain always feels that Tu Gong has noticed something."

"Just notice it if you notice it!"

Yang Xuan didn't care about this.

Tu Chang has no children, is alone, and is not too young.

"He has lived to this point and has seen through the world. If there is no second child, he will become a walking dead, and even go crazy to assassinate Nianxu and kill himself."

The old thief sighed, "At this age, I sometimes think about what I am doing with my life. Thinking about it..."

Yang Xuan looked at him, wondering if he would say something deafening.

"Of course it's for promotion and fortune!"

……

The hour has come.

Yang Xuan and others entered the palace against the setting sun.

Two rows of tall guards stood on both sides, looking at each other without squinting.

People will feel a little depressed when walking through it.

Yang Xuan smiled, "What kind of formation is this?"

He walked to the middle and stopped.

The people behind him also stopped.

Yang Xuan looked at the guard on the left, up and down, left and right, and finally patted his chest with his hands.

"Something interesting."

Yang Xuan continued to move forward.

The servant leading the way in front asked with a smile, "How does Mr. Yang feel?"

"Flower shelf!"

The servant's face darkened, and he never spoke again.

"To be honest, no one listened."

Yang Xuan looked at Lin Ya.

Lin Ya and more than ten courtiers were standing in front.

On the other side are more than [-] civil and military officials.

There is a clear distinction between the two sides.

The third prince came early and was very busy.

"Your envoy." The third prince came over, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "It's a bit early, but you can go to the side hall to serve tea."

Wang Deng glanced at Yang Xuan.

I don't know since when, this envoy has become Yang Xuan's follower.

"No need." Yang Xuan said: "I just happened to ask you for advice."

When the officials over there heard this, they all looked sideways.

The messenger requires modesty, that is, speaking less.

But this one doesn't seem to be following the rules.

The third prince smiled and said: "Yang Shijun is very talented in poetry, I think he can find a confidant."

This is polite talk.

Yang Xuan sighed suddenly.

"Your Majesty's poems are majestic and majestic. Yang can't put it down. He often recites them in his spare time, and the fragrance stays on his teeth and cheeks. But the Majesty doesn't take it seriously, which shows that he has a broad mind!"

Liang Jing immediately followed, "I saw a servant make a mistake that day, and the king just warned him, but didn't punish him. This kindness moved Liang very much."

Wang Deng stroked his beard and nodded, "This old man is old, and he has met countless people in his life, but there is no one like a king..."

The third prince's complexion was reddish, and a kind of happiness similar to when he was with a woman Dun Lun arose spontaneously.

This is called fluttering.

Being flattered by someone can produce this kind of pleasure, keep patting, always have pleasure... The function of a man's waist is limited, and the number of times of pleasure is also limited.But there is no limit to the number of times you can flirt...

It's always cool to be flattering!
The prince was on the other side, surrounded by several people.

"Those three people are shameless!" Someone scolded.

"They wanted to achieve their goals through the third prince, but they lost all of Datang's face."

The prince said lightly: "Do things."

Everyone was stunned, "Yes."

He went to the hall first.

He asked softly, "How is it outside?"

"appropriate!"

"How is the palace?"

"appropriate."

"Then, today, Gu will change the color of the palace!"

……

When the prince grows up, he will go out of the palace to build a mansion. He Lianfeng's five sons, the prince is in the palace, and the other four princes are outside the palace.

The third prince is also in the palace today.

The second prince, He Lianxiao, was drinking in the mansion.

"How about the prince?"

He Lianxiao is tall and tall, and he is the one with the highest cultivation level among the princes.

The counselor next to him said: "His Royal Highness told the king to rest his arms and wait until the Tang Dynasty envoy leaves."

"Then... there are still a few more days!" He Lianxiao sneered, "Let them live for a few more days."

The counselor smiled: "Yes, Your Majesty is kind."

The other two princes were eating, drinking and having fun at home, doing nothing.

In the palace, He Lianfeng appeared.

"I have seen Your Majesty."

"Zhu Qing is flat."

He Lianfeng pressed his hand with a smile.

Immediately served the food and wine.

After drinking for three rounds, Wang Deng raised his glass to congratulate He Lianfeng on his longevity.

Afterwards, Yang Xuan stood up.

"Southern Zhou was rude to Datang, and Datang is going to send troops to punish them, take twenty cities from Southern Zhou, and then retreat."

Haven't we already said this?

He Lianfeng glanced at the prince.

The crown prince glanced at the third prince.

The third prince got up and said: "Your envoy, this king has already said this matter, and Daliao will never agree to it!"

Such perseverance!Everyone couldn't help laughing.

Someone said: "Isn't this a new famous general in northern Xinjiang, envoy Yang Xuanyang? Why, he also learned to be ashamed?"

"Hahahaha!" Everyone laughed wildly.

Yang Xuan looked calm.

Lin Ya got up slowly.

"Your Majesty, Southern Zhou has been quite disrespectful to Daliao in recent years. I think this matter is all right!"

The hall fell silent.

Lin Ya objected to what the emperor approved of.

No problem!
He Lianfeng said indifferently: "Let's discuss again!"

it is good!
Wang Deng's face was full of red.

This matter has opened a hole!
Lin Ya sat down and glanced at Yang Xuan inadvertently.

The old man can give advice and agree, and the rest... just wait to see your performance.

If the performance fails, the old man doesn't mind breaking his promise and withdraws his agreeable advice.

Yang Xuan smiled, "Thank you, Prime Minister Lin."

Then he raised his glass to the third prince, "In the past few days, your majesty's demeanor has impressed the ministers deeply."

The third prince raised his glass and glanced at the prince.

There was a smile in the prince's eyes, very kind.

then.

Get up.

"Go and change clothes alone!"

Suddenly it's windy outside!

call!
Surrounded by two servants, the prince left the hall, his clothes rattled by the wind.

Turn left.

A servant nodded slightly from the side.

All right!
When the prince changed his clothes, there was a servant by his side.

"Be seated outside."

"In place in the palace."

The prince trembled all over, and then lifted his pants comfortably.

turn around.

"The governor of Chenzhou has boasted that the third child is addicted in the past few days, so let them go together tonight."

He walks out the door.

Looking at the dark night sky.

"Let them go underground to brag together!"
