Ping An Biography

Under a light slightly bigger than a grain of rice, Luo Yaoniang's face was blurred and expressionless, and his tone was also cold: "Tell me, did you hand over the note I asked Xiaocui to send to you?" Is the court eagle dog used as a tool to frame my father?"

Peach Blossom Fairy was silent for a while, and said: "The note did fall into Shizhen's hands, but we didn't hand it over. Miss Luo's person was followed..." She thought to herself that if Fanzi appeared in the inn, then Luo Yao It was easy for Niang to find out if there was any accident in the inn, so she continued, "I was on guard against this at the time, and left the inn immediately, but not long after I left, I ran into someone from Fanzina. Fortunately, this time they were not alone. After the fighting, we killed and wounded a few people, and the rest escaped, but in the chaos, the things in my sleeve pockets fell out, and I guess the letter was also in it, and they picked it up."

Luo Yaoniang didn't quite believe it, but she couldn't find anything to refute, so she asked again: "Why do you ask Wang Gou'er?"

Peach Blossom Fairy replied: "We were ordered to inquire about the news. The King of Xiang has something that can blackmail the eunuch Wang Gou'er, so we took the risk to meet Wang Gou'er and blackmail him to reveal the news."

This time Luo Yaoniang has learned her lesson, and she breaks the casserole and asks the bottom line: "What can threaten the seal of the Supervisor of Ceremonies?" [

Peach Blossom Fairy Nai said: "It's a long story. If I say it now, I'm afraid it will be until tomorrow morning. I think it's better to wait for you to arrive in Huguang, ask Zhang Pingan personally, and let him tell you?"

"I'm going to Huguang?" Luo Yaoniang asked in surprise.

Peach Blossom Fairy said: "Even if you don't believe that Emperor Xuande will persecute Duke Yang, you should still believe the noses of so many bureaucrats in the court. Duke Yang is the chief assistant, and all the officials, big and small, are impeaching Duke Yang. Isn't it obvious? It just so happens that you came out tonight, we will leave Yangzhou immediately, and I will take you away... There are many eyeliners around the Yang residence, so you can come out in the middle of the night?"

"There are corners where there is no light at all. As long as you don't make any noise, you can go out. This time, I guarantee that no one will follow you." Luo Yaoniang said with certainty.She stood quietly in the hidden place outside for half an hour. If she was really being targeted, it would be impossible for her to remain silent.

Peach Blossom Fairy said: "That's why the opportunity is rare. Since you came out, don't go back to that place."

Luo Yaoniang said without hesitation: "I will not run away with you. My father and so many people have been implicated, and I am the crux of this disaster. If I suddenly disappear, where will the others be? If Disasters cannot be avoided, and I would rather bear the consequences together with my father."

At this time, Peach Blossom Fairy has a growing fondness for her. In fact, Luo Yaoniang and Zhou Zhouniang are both "enemies" of Peach Blossom Fairy, but their senses towards these two women are very different. I don't know why.Moreover, Peach Blossom Fairy is still very sympathetic to Luo Yaoniang at this time, after all, the woman in front of her was betrayed... If Luo Yaoniang hadn't missed the old days, why would she risk getting entangled with her group?

Faintly, Peach Blossom Fairy seemed to feel Luo Yaoniang's feelings, and felt sad for a while.She hoped that Luo Yaoniang would never know the truth, that everything was premeditated by someone she once trusted.

"If you do this, I won't be able to do business when I go back. Zhang Ping'an will definitely blame me for the rest of my life." Peach Blossom Fairy said softly, sighing secretly in her heart.

Sure enough, Luo Yaoniang didn't doubt this sentence, she just said: "Now these are trivial details." In her intuition, Wuchang is so far away from Yangzhou, Zhang Ning can't make a specific plan and order.

Seeing that her hint had achieved results, Peach Blossom Fairy immediately changed the subject: "Thinking about it this way, if I want to save you, I can only rescue Yang Gong together."

"My father is old and not as flexible as I am; moreover, our family is in the capital, and I have a brother named Yang Ji who is also in the capital, and there are hundreds of people in the family. I'm afraid it will be difficult to do this."

Peach Blossom Fairy pondered: "Slaves and maids don't care about concubines. We can send someone to take Yang Ji away from the capital right away, but we need a letter written by Mr. Yang. Mr. Yang also has a way to deal with it. It’s just more risky; Wang Gou’er is being coerced by us now, and he doesn’t dare to move at all, so we can ask him to cooperate... This matter is not only risky, but also needs to be done quickly, and it is not impossible, it is worth a try.”

Luo Yaoniang said: "My father will not agree."

Peach Blossom Fairy said: "We are in charge of the arrangement here, and we can only rely on Miss Luo to persuade Yang Gong. After the King of Xiang and Emperor Xuande were both Taizu, the father of the King of Xiang, Emperor Jianwen, was more orthodox than Yongle. What's more, how Yang Gong will be evaluated in history depends entirely on who can win the final victory. If Emperor Jianwen regains power, the officials who edit and compile historical facts will still be able to slander their own famous officials and conferences. Say good things about Yan Wang’s ministers? Now the court looks powerful, but it has not won an important victory on the battlefield... Yang Gong’s current situation, if it is not really very pedantic, it is clear at a glance where he is going. Luo Yaoniang just try to persuade him The matter of him and Yang Ji is also on our shoulders, so we must act quickly."

Luo Yaoniang seemed tempted. Before she came, she wanted to ask the people here what to do, and now they have indeed proposed a solution.She asked again: "Do you really have a way to rescue my father under heavy stalking? Although Wang Gou'er was restrained by you, he has too much power alone, and he can't order his subordinates to retreat."

"There's a way..." Peach Blossom Fairy naturally wouldn't say that everything was planned by Zhang Ning, "Of course it's a little risky, but there are not many good things that are bound to happen in the world. How will you know the result if you don't try?"

"Okay!" Luo Yaoniang nodded solemnly, "How to start and how to contact?"

Seeing that she agreed, Peach Blossom Fairy was slightly pleasantly surprised and said immediately as if she had been prepared: "The risk of our contact is extremely high, and it may be revealed at any time. This is the last contact before leaving Yangzhou. After you go back, just try to persuade Mr. Yang. Send a signal after the completion... There are several pots of flowers and plants on the west wall of your house that have grown moss. It seems that no one has taken care of them for a long time. , you come out with him and sit in a sedan chair, and for other things, just play by ear, and we will make our own arrangements.”[

Luo Yaoniang thought about it back and forth, and finally agreed.Then she quietly returned to Yang Mansion the same way.

The night and the choice of route are very favorable, although dangerous but ultimately safe.But just as he was about to go back to his room, he saw Yang Shiqi standing at the door.

Yang Shiqi said: "I heard that you are not in the room anymore, so I am waiting for you to come back here."

Luo Yaoniang's heart immediately "thumped" like a beating drum. At this time, people don't really feel much, but there is a blank in their minds, and then they bite the bullet and suffer.She couldn't say anything.

Yang Shiqi said again: "There is a wing room over there, come in and talk with Weifu."

Luo Yaoniang followed obediently and entered the wing room. Yang Shiqi directly put the lantern on the table and sat down on the chair.Luo Yaoniang had no choice but to stand, not daring to sit down.She was also wearing a dark blue night gown, which looked like a thief who had been caught.

Yang Shiqi just sighed, neither getting angry nor questioning.Maybe he felt that there was something to say, because Luo Yaoniang had just told Luo Yaoniang not to make others blame for any accidents, so she went out at night.

After being silent for a long time, Luo Yaoniang finally plucked up the courage to say: "The matter has come to this point, there is nothing we can do about it. What my father said is that the same should be done in response to all changes, but it is also a plan. So I wanted to see the king of Xiang. People, let's see what they can do..."

"What way!" Yang Shiqi interrupted her, "Do you want Xi Zuo to respond and escape?"

Luo Yaoniang said aggrievedly: "If I just want to escape, why come back tonight; if father also thinks so, why are you waiting for me?"

"Alas..." Yang Shiqi sighed again.

Luo Yaoniang carefully reminded: "Wang Gou'er has something in Zhang Ping'an's hands, and he is being controlled."

"Oh?" Yang Shiqi didn't question it when he heard it. He immediately thought of the "Xiang Ash Case" a few years ago. What could be the reason to control Wang Gou'er may only be the problem in that incident.

Seeing Yang Shiqi's expression, Luo Yaoniang became a little bolder, and said: "The king of Xiang treats his father very sincerely, and he will definitely spare no effort for an important person like you."

"It's not just for show. What Zhang Ping'an thinks, the old man can't guess? The prestige and reputation of the old man among scholars in the world is what he values." Yang Shiqi said.

After hearing this, Luo Yaoniang hurriedly said: "No matter what kind of thoughts he has, he must really want to have a talent like his father."

Because the incident happened suddenly, Luo Yaoniang hadn't had time to think of a way to persuade Yang Shiqi. Fortunately, the Peach Blossom Fairy had said something when she persuaded her; so Luo Yaoniang simply used those words to persuade her father.

Peach Blossom Fairy's words were too blunt and naked, but the words were rough and not rough, it was really not just talking casually.In particular, the assertion about posthumous fame is a bloody reality. The example is not far away. Over the past twenty years, filial piety has paid such a high price, and loyalty cannot be called dishonesty. After three dynasties, the verdict has not been reversed. ;As soon as Xuande came to power, he immediately suppressed the matter.In addition to Fang Xiaoru, who is slightly controversial among the people, there are other ministers who died in Jianwen. In the memoirs and history books compiled by the Imperial Academy, what good comments can they have?The civil servants at the center of the Jianwen Dynasty were all negatively described, preferably those who misjudged the country and the emperor. No matter what the facts were, I was afraid they would never be able to stand up.

And what Yang Shiqi understands best is not this kind of thing, but the end of the powerful and prestigious ministers who have been cleaned up internally. It is not just a matter of life, they must be ruined in advance;Only a faint king and a traitor will kill his loyal ministers.Just like Li Shanchang in the Taizu period, tens of thousands of people were implicated and died. Wouldn't it be unjust killing without an explanation?

Yang Shiqi did not dare to determine the outcome of his defection, but he could foresee his end in the Xuande Dynasty... One choice has a competitive advantage because the other choice is really bad, and the so-called defection is due to the integrity of the Ming clan The constraints are even smaller.
