Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 117 Wei Zheng's Calculation

Shopkeeper Louyuan led most of the staff to greet him outside the door, and everyone was rewarded with a small silver coin.

From this night onwards, Wenyue Pavilion became famous all over Chang'an, and Ye Siniang's name shocked Jingzhao.

On the last night of the Shangyuan Festival, Liu Mu left Chang'an, turning a blind eye to the lanterns all over Chang'an, leaning on the carriage with his eyes closed, not paying any attention to the noise outside the carriage.

On this day, Wenyue Pavilion was still full of guests and friends.

Not only the emperor of Tang Dynasty came, but also the king of Qin and the crown prince, reenacting the selling of abductees and two stand-up comics and the new play Shang Yuan Cuo.

When preparing for the stage, Wang Gui said next to Prince Li Jiancheng, "Your Highness, that Liu Mu left Chang'an and went home."

"Xiaomin, why do you care?" Li Jiancheng didn't pay attention to Liu Mu at all.

Wang Gui said: "Your Highness, he arrived in Chang'an before dawn on the [-]th day of the first lunar month. He left Chang'an in the evening of the [-]th today. During that time, he only went to the West Market once. He didn't visit anyone except to buy some flowers and trees. But my servant I don't understand, it took more than two hours before and after the sage invited him into the palace to reward him."

Li Jiancheng turned his head: "What do you mean?"

"I just don't understand." Wang Gui replied in a low voice, and the crown prince Xima Wei Zheng said at this time: "I think this son has a plan. This son is cunning, but he is extremely cautious. People who go back and forth, It is also limited to the two people who are very close to Duke Yi. This time I came to Chang'an, I thought there must be something strange in the two hours in the palace."

Li Jiancheng asked: "Can't you find out?"

"I inquired, but I didn't get any information. I only know that there were only Peng Hai, Princess Changping, Shengren and Liumu present. Your Highness, you know that Peng Hai does not favor any side."

The impartiality that Wei Zheng mentioned refers to the prince's mansion and Qin Wang's mansion.

Li Jiancheng asked again: "The prince doesn't understand, why do you all care about a small person?"

"Your Highness, this is not an ordinary person. His movements may represent the movements of Duke Yi. I have a feeling that Duke Yi and Prince Qin's residence have gone far away since the conquest of Hebei." Wang Gui replied seriously. with.

When Wei Zheng said this, Li Jiancheng became interested. "Please tell me in detail."

"Your Highness, the chief executive of Bingzhou University is not considered a high-ranking post. Due to the war, there are almost [-] rooms empty. After the conquest of Hebei by Duke Yi, one of them was left idle at home. He only said that he was ill. Even if he said he was cured, it was not Qin. No one in the palace recommends reinstatement, but Dou Jing." Wang Gui explained in detail.

Dou Jing, who is on the list of the Prince's Mansion at this time, still belongs to the neutral faction.

But the Dou family is already clearly supporting the Prince's Mansion.

"Your Highness. As for the matter, Duke Yi is going to report to the King of Qin, farewell and so on..." Wang Gui didn't continue, but Li Jiancheng knew in his heart that this was a matter of face. In any case, Qin Qiong still belonged to the general of Tiance Admiral's Mansion. Still have to do it.

Seeing Li Jiancheng nodded, Wang Gui said again: "Your Highness, do you think it is necessary for Princess Changping to please the saint?"

"Hiss..." Li Jiancheng understood.

If Dugulan was the person protected by his grandmother, even if she hadn't appeared in Chang'an for several years and lived alone in the Taoist temple, her favor with the sage hadn't decreased at all, but had increased every year.

You know, the current princess, after Pingyang's death, has the highest number of sealed households, Dugu Lanruo, even higher than Princess Tong'an.It has almost reached the upper limit of the real seal of the princess.

330 households will be closed, and the princess will seal up to 350 households.

(This data has historical facts. Princess Taiping was the first to break through this upper limit in history. According to historical records, it was Wu Zetian who killed Taiping’s first consort, and then Taiping was sad. As compensation, she broke through the upper limit of 350 households)
"Your Highness, he is using the name of Princess Changping to curry favor with the saint for Qin Shubao's sake." Wang Gui added.

"Interesting, interesting." Li Jiancheng nodded repeatedly.

Wei Zheng said from the side: "From what I heard, this Lord Mu Xiaolang is very afraid of His Royal Highness King Qin. There was an interesting story in King Qin's mansion. His Highness King Qin asked Liu Mu for a way to punish the criminals without hurting others. As a result, on the same day This method was used on Liu Mu, and Liu Mu found an opportunity to escape from Chang'an before dawn the next day."

"So, what does Yiqing mean?" Li Jiancheng was really interested.

Wang Gui said: "Your Highness, please pay attention to one or two."

"Okay." Li Jiancheng agreed.

Wei Zheng also said: "Your Highness, please persuade General Luo Yi to find an excuse to come and give some gifts to ease the humiliation." Hearing what Wei Zheng said, Wang Gui couldn't help but get angry: "Your Highness, these two people Confused, extremely mindless. This kind of childlike style is annoying and hateful."

"You don't need to be angry, the prince has already reprimanded these two people. If it is really necessary, even if the prince has to come to Qin Shubao to make amends, the prince will go there willingly."

When Li Jiancheng made such a statement, Wang Gui and Wei Zheng saluted at the same time: "Your Highness is wise."

Li Jiancheng asked again: "Then the king of Qi wants to buy a fragrance washing workshop, what do you two think?"

Obviously, Wei Zheng had discussed with Wang Gui about Xiangxifang, they both nodded at the same time, and Wang Gui signaled Wei Zheng to speak.

"Your Highness, this matter may be a good thing. It's called not being acquainted without fighting. According to the original price, we don't want Xiangxifang, just send someone to study. For this matter, I can go there on my behalf and be a lobbyist." Wei Zheng took the initiative to ask for this job.

Prince Li Jiancheng agreed to the matter of a few tens of gold without a second word, and left everything to Wei Zheng to handle.

Liu Mu didn't arrange any copper pipes to eavesdrop in Li Jiancheng's private room, just because he was afraid of causing big trouble for himself.But it doesn't mean that Ye Siniang gave up the opportunity to eavesdrop.

A man with excellent hearing was hiding under the floor, on a certain beam in the ceiling on the first floor.

This one can lie motionless somewhere for twelve hours.

Eavesdropping has obviously allowed them to get a lot of secrets. Ye Siniang's team has become a little addicted. Combining their original methods with the methods Liu Muxin taught them, a brand new human eavesdropping team is slowly maturing.

After the performance started on the stage, the person hiding on the beam of the house quietly left with the cheers of the audience.

At this time, Liu Mu had already crossed the Jinghe River and was heading for Qin Qiong's Zhuangzi in Jingyang.

What Liu Mu cared about at this time was only two dates, one was February [-], when the fields under his control were about to start planting.Before that, Liu Mu planned to fertilize the field first, and then find a day to sow.

Another date, the ninth day of February, is the day when I collect the levy.

The officiant among the betrothal gifts, even the making tools are still half-finished at this time, so I don't know if the graphite crucible will be really useful.

Liu Mu left Chang'an, he should feel lucky that he took a step earlier.

The Duke Yi's mansion in Chang'an was surrounded by countless noble ladies.
