Chapter 24

"On March [-]th, Hu Yanyan met the young master in the suburbs, and talked about his death. He was so sad and angry that he kicked Zheng Mao on the tree. Zheng Mao refused to accept it and pushed him back. You, you push me, I push you, and in the end, you end up with a fart."

Wenxiu cleared her mouth and continued.

"The beauty is in pain, and I feel sorry for my sister, so I punched from the left, punched from the right, kicked my foot, stepped on my toes, Hu Yanyan cried loudly, knelt and kowtowed, vowing to worship me as a teacher, Zheng Maofu knelt and hugged his feet, wishing Return to my sect, and ask the heavens, why did I give birth to such a superior person, so that two men quarreled with me..."

Tizhen was wearing a white open-sleeved robe swaying in the sky, and smiled softly, "Xiao Yangzuo hasn't learned anything, she's used to talking nonsense."

She is holding the scissors one by one, and she is holding a new Yaohuang peony. With the stamens peeling off inch by inch, only the main stem in the middle is left, independent and heroic.

Wenxiu put down the letter and looked at the flower path, "Girl...the flowers are bald."

Tizhen put the silver scissors aside, stepped back and admired slowly, "Cut off the miscellaneous branches and rotten leaves outside the main pole, so that the flowers will bloom better. Look, it has been cleaned very clean now." He flicked the catkins on his sleeve, and glanced aside, "Is it God's will when you talk about it?"

Cao You said: "In the eyes of people with discerning eyes, everything is God's will. How could they know that there are human-made reasons. If we hadn't contributed to the flames and pushed Meng Huoshi's body and Zheng Mao's secret whistle to Hu Yanyan's eyes, then what would everyone do?" Can witness this coincidence, how can we deeply believe that everything is the result of Zheng Mao's many unrighteous actions and will kill himself, otherwise they would not know that the harvest is in our hands from the beginning to the end."

The transparent sunlight fell on him, and he clenched his hands tightly, as if holding a fire, "As for the handwriting, it was just the last letter written by Zheng Mao on the day of the house search, using Zheng Mao's words to lure Meng Huo into exterminating the grass, but it's a pity that We have been implicated in the letter, so I can only ask you to copy another copy yourself."

There is a small lotus inlaid jade crown on Tizhen's bun, and it slowly shakes according to her posture, "Use Menghuo to frame Zheng Mao, force Hu Yanyan to bear his grudges, and arouse his anger, and when the truth of Menghuo's death is revealed, causing Misunderstandings lead to dissociation and resentment, and once Zheng Mao dies, Hu Yanyan will inevitably fall into fear."

She smiled demurely, walked down the porch calmly, and sat down leisurely, "Do you know what I am doing? My purpose is to let Liu Wenyu get close to me with full power. Naturally, only I can enjoy the confinement. Decentralization of power, daydreaming."

Wenxiu held the tea to Tizhen, fed it, and smiled all over her face, "The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind, but who knows, there is someone behind the oriole, and the girl is this person."

The sky was long, Cao You pulled up the beaded curtains and rolled them together, knowing in a low voice, "Madame Zhang is also dead."

Tizhen's eyes were as cold as shattered ice, "If the earthen jar never breaks away from the well, the general will inevitably die before the battle. What can I do?"

Cao Er tentatively asked: "That girl thinks who is Prince Duanhui thinking?"

Tizhen's eyelids drooped slightly, she coughed lightly, and even had a sarcastic expression on her face, "It's up to whoever pushes ahead. Anyway, I guess it's Huyanyan, what do you think?"

Cao Er raised the corners of her mouth and forced a smile, "Whoever the girl says, that's who she is, and whoever Prince Duanhui thinks, that's who she is."

The corners of Tizhen's lips curled up, and she stared at him with burning eyes. She got up and leaned on the railing, and walked into the house, "Now that Liu Wenyu's situation is stable, we can take another step forward."

Cao You followed behind, not forgetting to report one by one, "The spies sent to Jiaodong have sent a letter. If it wasn't for a short vacation, the smuggled salt transportation will go directly to Luoyang, Mianchi, Xiangyang and Runan. At least these four The local merchants must know about it, and as for the others, I’m afraid they have some brothers-in-law. Now they are checking each other, and when the comparison is completed, Luoyang Shisanfang will be able to sell [-]% of the illegal salt.”

Ti Zhen let out a sigh of relief, "When we searched the Sun family in Pingyang, we found in the account books that there was a sales bill from Yangang in Jiaodong. At that time, Sun and Liang shared the business road. As long as one family was dirty, both of them would be black. Sure enough, you can find out as soon as you check.”

Cao You clenched his hands, "This time, we will surely wipe them all out."

Tizhen turned around and sat down, took a sip of tea, "I have my own idea, it's true if I show the evidence first."

On this day of Spring and Jingming, Wen Yu specially went to Weiyang Palace to ask to see Liu Yao, but just got out of the sedan chair, and trotted forward after seeing Li Guang, "Master is worried about Mu Dage, the leader of the Qiang tribe, helping the Que family. I’m afraid it’s easy for you to suffer if you go in now.”

The Qiang clan was stationed at the back of Chang'an, and now the Que clan had received foreign aid from the Qiang clan, once they mobilized their troops, they would be easily restricted from the rear, which was extremely unfavorable to the current situation, and Liu Yao was naturally very annoyed.

Wen Yu smiled calmly and said: "Gu came here this time to relieve my uncle's worries, and I asked my father-in-law to help pass it on."

Li Guang looked down at the steps, as if thinking, and finally went in and passed a word.

After waiting for an answer, Wen Yu stretched out his hand and pushed open the vermilion watermelon door flying gold and silver. In the silence, a lonely figure sitting on one side was sitting in front of stacks of memorials.

Liu Yao supported his head, and his tired face was fixed between his eyebrows, like a dark cloud, which would not disperse.But when he saw Wen Yu, he relaxed his eyebrows, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Looking at his face, Wen Yu already understood it, and he asked: "My nephew came here specially for the Qiang leader Mu Dage's surrender to the Cheng Que clan, and wanted to solve my uncle's urgent need."

Liu Yao raised his eyes slightly, "What trick do you have?"

Wen Yu said: "You only need uncle to write a letter to Xiang Wang Qi Hao, grant Qi Hao a special gift, and induce Qi Hao's power to be used by uncle to join forces to defeat the Que family."

Liu Yao couldn't help but change his expression, "Do you think he won't become the second Que family?"

"I once heard a fisherman say that only when shrimps are used as bait will the fish covet to take the bait. What's more, all things generate and restrain each other, and the opposite complements each other. That's why my nephew dared to imagine that if uncle gave Qi Hao a generous reward, let him see you Let him see that you value and trust him with your sincerity, and maybe he will join forces with his uncle for the benefits he sees. Uncle is a man of destiny, and he must be able to understand the strategy of "wanting to be high against the bottom, wanting to rebel against the bottom" , Sometimes retreating is not necessarily a bad thing, maybe going against the road will result in unexpected gains."

Liu Yao's face was not moved, but his heart was already touched.It's just that in comparison, at this moment, his doubts about Wen Yu are far greater than his taboo about King Xiang.

"Everyone says that you are sick, but who would have thought that it is the weak person they look down on the most, who can plan ahead to this point." He calmed down, "It's not that you are not thoughtful, but you are too thoughtful .”

Wen Yu smiled slightly, "In order to live, my nephew has to learn to be thoughtful."

"So this trip of yours is the real strategy of 'desire to be high against the bottom, want to take the opposite'?"

Wen Yu's heart skipped a beat.

"Exactly." Wen Yu said lightly: "If I can prepare for the rainy day and get my uncle's protection, and be the prince of the wild cranes, it will be my greatest blessing."

He greeted him with a raised face, "I just want to live."

The hall was extremely quiet, and the sound of raindrops dripping from the branches echoed endlessly.Liu Yao looked at Wen Yu for a long time, fumbled for his words repeatedly, and exhaled slowly, "I will think carefully about what Yu'er said just now."

Picking up one side of the tea and took two sips, "Right now, I have another problem, and I want to hear your thoughts, Yu'er." Without moving her eyes, she stared at the red silk-covered memorials on the table, "These days , The courtiers are all advising on the choice of empress, some people want to recommend the birth mother of the Nanyang King, Chen, as the empress, and some recommend another good minister's daughter to be the master of the palace, what do you think?"

Hearing his initial question, Wen Yu couldn't tell the truth, "According to uncle's intention, who does it belong to?"

Liu Yao raised his hands and stroked his beard, "The Xun family died early, and most of the affairs in the backyard were the assistant of the Zhang family. I also made a petition to the court a few years ago and made the Zhang family the next concubine." He took a breath, "In all fairness , I am naturally more interested in my wife. It's just her identity... There are many arguments from the government and the opposition."

Husband and noble wife, Zhang Yourong, as a veritable concubine of Zhongshan, was established as the empress, which was the most reasonable thing, but the courtiers could never mention this person.

It is because of another reason.
