Tang Qi Tan

Chapter 656 Yangtu
Of course, as an old man who has taken refuge in Tonghai Shizi, the palace ambassador Chen Pipi is not as strong and stubborn as he described.At least before he passed out for the fifth time, sweating profusely and incontinent, he had provided enough information to interest Jiang Tian.

For example, the eldest son started very early and had constant contacts with some high-level officials in the Donghai Grand Society; he even used them as foreign aid and assistance in the early years;Even a few years ago, they began to use the channels and news of Donghai Society to bypass the imperial court's restrictions on suzerain vassals.

Therefore, we can't wait to get rid of Mrs. Ronghua Shen, who has voting rights in the Supreme Council, and arrange other puppets to replace it.For another example, the prince sent troops on the island to wipe out the barbarians in the central mountain range, but he actually had a different purpose and purpose.

Because most of the captured island barbarians were taken away by him and never appeared again.The large-scale construction is just a pretense, most of them are just fakes; but there are only a few places that are actually built, secret camps and strongholds far away from inhabited places.Only making money is true.

But most of the money collected is not in the office's inventory, but has been used in unknown places.And these changes gradually began to take place a few years ago, after Prince Tonghai secretly left the island for a trip to the southeast coast under an unknown invitation.

That is to say, after this trip, the eldest son who suffered from a serious illness and was in poor health for a long time also got rid of the troubles of the patients; and after the change of the celestial sphere, it reached the level of intensification.Many officials and ministers who expressed doubts and dissatisfaction in private also had accidents or berated one after another.

In the end, the princess, who had been happy to see the results for a long time and had been letting go, also felt that something was wrong under the persuasion of the family separation, and summoned him in private to question him.The result is still the result of the kindness of the father and the filial piety of the son, and the joy and harmony.However, the princess fell ill a month later and gradually became demented and dull.

Even if famous doctors from inside and outside the island were invited to take turns to see him, they could only come to the conclusion that it was a wind numbness in the body, which caused a stroke after entering the brain; and it was no longer possible to effectively restrain and restrict this prince.However, as a minister who has served the side of the office for many years, Chen Pipi is one of the very few insiders.

Because it was he who was entrusted by someone at the beginning to let an enchanting beauty from an overseas businessman, who was as flexible as a coiled snake, try to appear in front of the princess.Then, unsurprisingly, he was summoned in private, and after a few days of pampering his private house; the head of the family found that his glory was no longer there.

Then, under all kinds of seeking medical treatment and medicine without avoiding the inside and outside, it was no surprise that it became a romantic anecdote related to the office.Then one day suddenly, all kinds of tiger and wolf medicines that are not tonic for the deficiency are used too much, and the internal dryness inevitably accumulates, and the mouth and nose bleed suddenly and faint; just collapsed on the bed.

And whether it is an internal medical officer supported by the office, or a famous doctor invited from other places; when seeing a doctor, you can't help but care about hiding it for the venerable, but in the end you can only conclude that it is wind paralysis and deal with it.But Jiang Tian still found important and crucial details in Chen Pipi's unconscious confession.

For example, as an old man who has been exposed to the private affairs of the public office for a long time, he inadvertently learned that this prince also has some allies with sufficient power and status outside the Dadao of Yizhou.From time to time, they take advantage of the suzerainty's advantage near the coast to take in and shelter some people and groups who escaped from the middle land for a long time.

Or provide identity cover and transit berths for some fleets of unknown origin; even provide corresponding shelters and settlements on coastal islands, and regularly draw huge benefits from them.Therefore, when communicating secretly, only use special aliases to call each other.

For example, as the personal memory of the son of Tonghai, it is a sea dragon wrapped in waves; at the same time, there is the word "Tiangang" in Xiaozhuan script the size of a grain of rice.At this moment, Jiang Tian suddenly understood; as the saying goes, it is an unexpected joy that comes without any effort.

This powerful son of Tonghai is also the man behind the scenes that Jiang Tian has been pursuing. Under the name of the secret society "Wutian" suspected of subverting the imperial court, Tiangang Chenlong, one of the twelve celestial ministers; Provider of support and resource provision, shelter and transit.

But what is the price for a suzerain heir who has been going smoothly and can inherit the family business step by step and enjoy the power and wealth, not to hesitate to bear the notoriety and suspicion, but also to take power in advance, and actively participate in the activities of infiltrating and overthrowing the imperial court? long-term conspiracy.

After Jiang Tian thought about it, there was only one choice and the truth left. Compared with a young man who had suffered a serious illness and was still weak, he probably only had the health and longevity he dreamed of.Of course, such extreme health may not come without a price.

In this way, whether it is the East China Sea Grand Society, Beast Worship or Wutian Organization, almost all threads are on the right track.Perhaps, somewhere on this large island of Yizhou, in an inaccessible or barren place where the barbarians are active, there are hidden secret places and experimental areas related to beasts and ghosts.

The only remaining question is why it is necessary to take the risk of the incident being leaked and rob a daughter of the Jingzhao Shen family, and then think of the tragic human relations experiments that happened to Shen Yizhi. Is it because the Jingzhao Shen family The reason for the special/pure blood?
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the twin maidservants with complex expressions walking over timidly; after being glanced at by Jiang Tian, ​​he retreated back behind the pillar in fear, and then poked out a Zhenshou, whispering softly Reported: "husband... people... madam, please tell me something, sir."

"Okay!" Jiang Tian nodded and asked strangely: "Why do you hide and talk so far away, I am not a tiger that can eat people." However, Cuixing, who had just witnessed the tragic scene, showed an indescribably bleak smile and said : "Yes..., this servant will lead the way for Mr.

A while later, Jiang Tian saw Mrs. Ronghua, Mrs. Shen, in a flower pavilion, and saw that she had changed into a red brocade skirt with bird patterns and a poncho with green branches and pearl patterns; she looked more dignified gorgeous.However, she was staring at a bush of camellias blooming and competing for beauty, and hadn't moved for a long time.

It wasn't until the sound of Jiang Tian's footsteps that she turned around as if she had just woken up from a dream; but the emotions in her eyes turned upside down, as if something was brewing, and she hesitated to speak: "Excuse me, sir, what did you say back then in Lanxi County?" The child who was sent away is now under the protection of the court?"

"Of course not. I just happened to be entrusted to this old friend of yours. If I have a chance, I just want to ask my wife a word." Jiang Tian shook his head lightly and said, "Do you still remember that when we met for the last time, Mei At the head of the bridge, under the tea pavilion, is that bowl of Huoxiang tea soup?"

"You...he..., it's been so many years, how can I not remember?" Shen Shi was shocked when she heard this, she stared at Jiang Tian's mask in disbelief, her eyes were dazed as if she wanted to see something. : "Because I regretted being a concubine, I don't regret day and night."

"In this case, there is actually one more reply:" Jiang Tian also said lightly: "If you really regret what happened back then, then he can also let go of the past and let time slowly forgive you; but still Please, from now on, there is nothing to do with each other..."

"Linlang..." At this moment, Shen's tears were streaming down her face without concealing her sorrow. She was not at all like the graceful, elegant and beautiful Mrs. Rong Hua before; , a helpless little woman in vain. "So, is he okay?"

"How could it be good?" Jiang Tian shook his head again and said: "In the early years, he didn't want to have anything to do with the past, so he could only hang out in the city of Chang'an, neighbors with the most humble three religions, and relied on people to ask for news He made a living by copying books, and moved many times due to the hardship of his livelihood.”

"How... how... this happened!" However, Mrs. Chen couldn't believe it, and then she sat down on the railing in tears like a fountain: "It turns out that they have been lying to me for so many years. Didn't see through, wishful thinking there is a day to meet again?"

Jiang Tian walked out of the flower pavilion silently, and after waiting for a while, he saw Shen Shi with red and swollen eyes. Thank you, sir, for bringing this news, and there is no chance of making amends and redemption."

Jiang Tian couldn't help but shook his head again, wanting to continue to say something to her; then he saw a courtier in green shirt rushing over, saluted Shen respectfully and reported to Shen who had regained his energy and dignity. After a few words, Shen sighed to Jiang Tian again:
"The situation in the city is still a little bad. Although my concubine has already controlled the situation in the palace because of my husband; but the various people who were ordered to arrest that traitor's party member still encountered a lot of resistance and obstruction. Some people must have escaped. Go out of the city and report to that traitor."

"In the future, the three leaders and four leaders of the outer dynasty will inevitably request to enter the palace to meet the Lord; but the Lord's appearance, I am afraid that it is difficult to issue orders normally, and it is even more difficult to persuade the officials, officials, The foreign vassal, stand on the side of the concubine, and jointly attack that traitor."

"The concubine's status can be delayed for a few days, but it can't be too long; once the rebellious son uses his status as a son and expediency to summon unknowing ministers, vassals, and even state and county guards in the local area, I'm afraid it will be hard for me to resist this concubine with this unstable Tianxing City alone."

"Even if we have the Lord in our hands and think that we are calling, it is inevitable that the subjects and common people on the island will bleed like rivers, causing death and injury to benefit many."

"So, what's Madam's plan?" Jiang Tian asked with a hint of emotion, "Do you want to avoid it temporarily and try to start again, or should you introduce external forces to intervene?"

"That's right, I will try my best to collect the money and silk and reliable people in the palace, and send the boat down to Pushan Port by the sea within one or two days." Shen said with a resolute expression: "Since it is difficult to do anything on Yizhou Island, As a concubine, I will take the master to the Beijing Zongfan Court to file a complaint."

"The concubine has already figured it out. Even if I report my family's ugliness, let the imperial court send troops to intervene in the civil strife in the vassal mansion, and then accept various punishments for cutting the land and lowering the vassal in the future. It is better than the incident of the rebellious son's activities and becoming one of the vassals. The target of all the people; the one who is spurned by the subordinates will end up in ruins."

"In fact, if things fail and you can only live in the capital, you can use my concubine's savings to get the child back to make up for it." However, Shen gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "It's just that you have to worry about it along the way. With the help of the master, I have introduced and proved one or two things for my concubine in the vassal court."

"Actually, it doesn't necessarily need to be so troublesome." Hearing this, Jiang Tian also seemed to have a feeling and said: "Didn't I say that just one person is worth an army of the imperial court. What's more, the confidence and credentials I have are far more than what I have in front of me!"

The next moment, Jiang Tian slowly took off the white teary-eyed and smiling mask, and revealed a face that Mrs. Ronghua, Shen Shi, was both familiar with and very strange.What is familiar is this face, which can be seen in the self-portrait of the ancestral hall; what is strange is a kind of inscrutable demeanor.

At this moment, she couldn't help but her legs and feet became weak, and she fell to the ground; she then said in disbelief, "You naughty son! How could...how could..." "No, you are not that naughty son, Who are you?" "Wait! Could it be that you can become that rebellious son?"

"You're wrong, this is actually what I am." Jiang Tian shook his head slightly to the horrified and inexplicable her and said, "Otherwise, why should I always bring this thing with me when I come to the island? It's just for It’s just to reduce some unnecessary troubles and troubles when doing daily things..."
