Wu Sansi was still calm and calm, and invited him to the study for a secret talk. Shangguan Wan'er was not allowed to participate. The study was half the size of Wu Zhao's study in Shangyang Palace, but it was more than ten times larger than that of the imperial study. It was filled with ten bookcases against the wall. , a style of nanmu furniture, also decorated with calligraphy and painting couplets, the decoration is quaint, and when you suddenly walked in, you thought you had accidentally entered the study of some wise scholar.
However, compared to Wu Chengsi, who was ignorant, Wu Sansi did have a brief knowledge of literature and history. He ranked first among the entire Wu family in terms of knowledge and opinions, and because of his comprehensive skills, his reputation was not bad.
The two sat down on a few chairs in a corner, and after the pretty maid who served hot tea left, Wu Sansi sighed: "The news of the lifting of the ban in the East Palace reached King Wei's ears. He immediately vomited blood and fell into a coma. He only woke up after first aid. Sansi just I went to visit him and found that his condition was not optimistic. Alas! He couldn't bear to see it anymore, but Sansi thought that His Majesty did the right thing. Everything has an end. After King Wei fell ill, he regretted not listening to Sansi's previous advice. From the beginning So he went against Brother Long, ignored the Holy Will, and went his own way. He didn't know that the most unreliable people were the Turks. Today he finally suffered the bitter consequences. The Holy One is really dissatisfied with him, and he still hasn't checked on his illness to this day. , and they don’t listen or ask, which is a huge difference from the past.”
Long Ying thought that the fat father-in-law was right. Not only did Wu Zhao have no family affection for the children of the Wu family, he also regarded them as political tools.
Wu Sansi sighed again and said: "Lifting the ban is a matter of course, but it is extremely unusual that the Holy One did not reveal any information to us beforehand. However, no matter how much he thought about it, he could not think of the reason behind it. The Holy Will is unpredictable, so he had to ask Brother Long wants to ask for advice. Does God want to destroy my Wu family?"
Long Ying pretended to be mysterious and lowered his voice: "The actual situation is that the Holy Master suddenly called me to the study room last night and told me about it. I only found out about it, and I was really shocked."
Wu Sansi looked at him with expectant eyes and said, "What else does your Majesty have to say?"
Long Ying said: "Your brother must promise me that every word I say here today will not be allowed to be heard by any fourth person except Wan'er, especially among your beautiful concubines and maids. Without mentioning a word, I’m sure there are Dajiang Lian’s eyes and ears infiltrated into it.”
Wu Sansi was shocked and said: "Is this happening?"
Long Ying said: "You must not act rashly, play the game of detecting spies, and pretend that nothing has happened, otherwise it will affect my little brother's actions."
Wu Sansi nodded and said: "Everything is like Brother Long's instructions."
Long Ying said: "Although the Holy One has not said it, as long as you have some brains, you will know that Li Xian's return to the dynasty is imperative. The question is in what form and how to proceed. Only those who are prepared can learn from it. Yi, it’s not that I haven’t thought about you, but the hatred between your two families is so deep that it’s not easy to resolve.”
Wu Sansi wanted to speak but stopped.
Long Ying said: "If there is anything difficult to say, it's okay for Prince Liang to just say it."
Wu San thought: "I heard that the fat father-in-law was also present in the royal study last night."
Long Ying nodded and said, "That's true."
Wu San thought: "Brother Long and the fat father-in-law have a close relationship. Do you know why the Holy Sage and the fat father-in-law suddenly became talking and laughing again and have a good relationship?"
Long Ying secretly thought that you are a very well-informed boy. He must have bribed the people around Wu Zhao. When fighting with him, he must be careful not to do this. He said: "The turning point in their relationship lies in my little brother. King Liang should know that the fat father-in-law I always support my little brother."
Wu San thought: "Is my father-in-law also contributing to the return of King Luling to the court?"
Long Ying said: "I think the main reason is still His Majesty's own consideration, and it is the trend of the times. King Liang also saw it! From Xu Jingye's rebellion to Jinzhong and Sun Wanrong, who is not under the banner of restoring Li Tang? Your Majesty
It’s also hard to resist.”
Wu Sansi gritted his teeth and said, "Chengsi is so disappointing. What do you think of Brother Long? No matter what Brother Long says, Sansi will never blame Brother Long."
Long Ying said: "I have always held the feelings of a passer-by and have no established position on this. But since the Holy Emperor has entrusted me with the heavy responsibility of dealing with the Dajiang Alliance, from a strategic perspective, the uncertainty of the political situation is really our biggest weakness. Not only
It traps us in a passive position and gives the enemy every opportunity to take advantage of us, so that we continue to gain power secretly."
These words were spoken tactfully, taking into account Wu Sansi's face and emotions.
Wu Sansi nodded and said: "This is the reason why the Holy One invited Mr. Guo and Brother Long to go to the East Palace to declare the Holy Will."
He added: "There is something that Sansi cannot say out loud, but I feel that it would be awkward to hide it from Brother Long. Alas! I have given up. Just after yesterday's court meeting, the Holy Father summoned Sansi to speak and asked in a stern tone.
What is my relationship with Brother Long? I thought twice about seeing the Holy One, like a mouse seeing an evil cat. Knowing that the Holy Spirit saw through our activities in the court meeting, I had no choice but to tell the truth. The Holy One said that anything related to you from now on will be treated as such.
If I can't hide anything from her, I will be kicked out. Alas! How can I tell her everything?"
Long Ying exclaimed in his heart. This may be one of the proximate reasons why Wu Zhao was persuaded by the fat father-in-law. He was not hostile to the children of the Wu family, but "love the house and the bird." Unlike Di Renjie and other court officials, who were determined to eradicate the children of the Wu family.
.
Long Ying said: "How is the relationship between Prince Liang and Taiping?"
Wu Sansi said: "It's very good. It's like Chengsi wanted to plot against her, so Sansi reminded her to be careful. It's best not to get involved in the affairs of her two brothers for the time being. A traitor like a Tathagata and a handsome minister, he will always label others as rebels. Rebellious people
It's a serious crime, hey! He almost forgot that Brother Long is his only friend."
Long Ying frowned and said: "How can we start from Taiping to improve the relationship between Prince Liang and her two brothers? What does Prince Liang want to say?"
Wu Sansi said: "What Sansi said now must not be leaked, otherwise the Holy Lord will send me to the magistrate's office."
Long Ying was secretly happy and said: "If King Liang doesn't trust me, who can he trust?"
Wu Sansi came closer and whispered in a hoarse voice: "The relationship between Sansi and the King of Luling is not that bad. I gave them a sum of money three years ago and told them to be careful of Dajiang Lian's assassins."
Long Ying took a few shots and said, "This will help!"
Wu Sansi said happily: "Brother Long, please give me some advice!"
Long Ying said solemnly: "It means that the two families will be reconciled and govern together."
Wu Sansi frowned and said: "Enmity was not established in one day. Although Sansi once showed kindness to King Luling, it was not enough."
Long Ying said: "As long as you turn your enemies into relatives, you can do it according to the trend, and you must take all the credit, so that Li Xian and his wife will be grateful to you. And the King of Liang must restrain the family members at the same time to avoid being beaten with sticks."
Head bird."
Wu Sansi murmured: "Enemies become relatives." As he spoke, his eyes became brighter.
Long Ying said: "This matter can't be done without the Holy Sage's nod. You must first get her approval before talking about anything else. Don't hide anything. Tell the Holy Sage truthfully that this is the idea I came up with for you. See what she says before telling you.
Little brother."
Wu Sansi's eyes wandered around, thinking of various possibilities due to the trigger of Dragon Eagle Hall.
Long Ying said: "The King of Liang is indeed far-sighted and had foreseen today's situation three years ago."
Wu Sansi smiled bitterly and said: "Sansi really wanted to accept Brother Long's praise, but the truth is not the case. I am not that capable. Brother Long should have known better than Sansi. Back then, there was a conflict between Suoge, who was Tuqishi, and Zhongjie, his father's subordinate.
, Suoge complained to the Holy One about Zhongjie and asked the Holy One to adjust Zhongjie internally, which would be tantamount to banishing Zhongjie. The person responsible for this matter was Zong Chuke, and he even wrote to Zhongjie personally to express his support for Zhongjie, but was dismissed
Suoge's people intercepted Feng Jingbin, the censor Zhongcheng who was in charge of delivering the letter. Suoge was furious and killed Feng Jingbin and made himself Khan. He also sent someone to tell the emperor clearly that Zong Chuke had been bribed by Zhongjie.
Chu Ke's head refused to give up. The Holy One therefore summoned Zong Chu Ke back for questioning. Knowing that the situation was very unfavorable to him, Zong Chu Ke went to Taiping to plead with the Holy One on his behalf. Taiping knew that it was not appropriate for her to take action, so he went to Taiping to intercede for him.
Think twice."
Long Ying smiled and said: "Of course there is a reward for this kind of thing, right?"
Wu Sansi didn't answer and asked instead: "Brother Long, does he know why Zong Chuke came to Taiping, and Taiping is willing to help him?"
Long Ying had already known something in his mind and pretended to be surprised: "Could it be that Zong Chuke has an ulterior relationship with King Luling?"
Wu Sansi said: "Zong Chuke is a far-sighted person and a first-class master. His 'Jade Gathering Technique' is very famous in Guanzhong. After Sansi helped him resolve the disaster, he came to persuade me to do it with sincerity.
With both hands prepared, no matter which direction the situation develops in the future, Sansi can still benefit. It happened that Wan'er went to Fangzhou according to the order, and because of the convenience, Sansi sent a sum of money to King Luling, which was taken over by Weishi.
.”
Long Ying thought to himself, anything that seems simple on the surface is very complicated on the inside. If Wu Sansi hadn't said it himself, how could he have guessed that there were so many twists and turns in it. It's conceivable that Wu Sansi was willing to do something like this, only to lose money but not to make a profit.
Shangguan Wan'er's influence is the main key.
Wu Sansi let out a sigh of relief and said, "Now Sansi will immediately go to the palace to see the Holy One. Alas! I'm very nervous."
Long Ying said: "Being willing to fight is not just a matter of words, but also an attitude in action. Keep in mind the big goal of 'co-governing' and don't do anything that is detrimental to this."
Wu Sansi nodded and said, "My legs are getting weak."
Long Ying said: "Let Wan'er send King Liang off!"
Dragon Eagle left Prince Liang's Mansion and walked along the Luoshui River in a strolling mood.
Under the pressure of life and death, Wu Sansi had confessed to him just now, but when things came back under his control, he would become the same person he was before. So the conversation like before may never happen again.
once.
More than a dozen horsemen were galloping towards them, led by an old friend, Lu Shifu from the torture room.
The riders reined their horses, and Lu Shifu said: "Princess Taiping has just returned to the palace. She knows that Lord Ying has left the palace, so she asked us to find him for her."
Long Ying jumped onto the empty cavalry that his subordinates had vacated, walked side by side with him, and said, "It's been three years, is Brother Lu still working in the prison cell?"
Lu Shifu said: "There have been many changes. The Criminal Arrest Office has been separated from the Magistrate's Court and has become an independent agency directly under the city army system. My current rank is General."
Long Ying said with a smile: "Congratulations! Congratulations to Brother Lu for your promotion and fortune. Ha! It's just a small thing to ask me for. You can just do it for your subordinates. Why trouble Brother Lu?"
Lu Shifu said happily: "I also want to see Lord Ying! Shifu is a rough man. He has never known how to please people, let alone officialdom. His promotion to a general this time is all thanks to Lord Ying's protection."
Long Ying was shocked and said: "It actually has something to do with me. How did this matter start? If Brother Lu is just talking casually to make me happy, then Brother Lu is not only well versed in the art of officialdom, but also a first-rate master of playing and playing.
.ha!"
Lu Shifu laughed and said: "It's funny, but also a bit ridiculous. In those days, whenever the Holy One wanted to find you, Master Ying, it was always my responsibility. Fortunately, I could find Master Ying every time. From then on, Your Majesty
Every time he wanted to find someone, he designated Shi Fu to do it, and until today, he has never failed. Finally one day, the Holy Sage went to the execution room of the Magistrate's Court to see Chi Shang upstairs who had been sent back by Ying Ye.
In my memory, the third time she came to the Magistrates' Court was all related to Lord Ying."
Long Ying said: "How is that boy doing now?"
Lu Shifu made a beheading gesture.
Long Ying said with great interest: "Brother Lu, please continue. I'm beginning to feel the absurdity in what Brother Lu said, and what he means!"
Lu Shifu said: "The Holy One asked Shifu why every time Shifu searches for someone, he can always do it quickly and properly, as if he knows everyone's position in the capital of the gods. There is nothing wrong with me, I am just honest and not afraid of death. Frankly speaking
Tell Your Majesty, the reason why I seem to know everything is because I have set up an all-encompassing information network, which is composed of brothers from the prison, gangs, gangsters and ordinary people. We all benefit from each other and maintain the order and rules of the divine capital.
, so if there is any trouble, I can’t hide it from me. The Holy One didn’t say anything after hearing it. When I didn’t know whether it was bad or good, the edict was issued three days later. Lord Ying, tell me! If it weren’t for Lord Ying’s care, how could the Holy One do this?
Are you paying attention to a little person like me?"
Long Ying smiled hoarsely and said: "Looking for people must be a skill. No wonder the princess wants to trouble you."
The riders turned right and entered the left door.
On the right is the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and on the left are Taifu Temple, Weiwei Temple, Honglu Temple, etc.
Lu Shifu came closer and said: "If Lord Ying wants to know the whereabouts of a certain person, just ask Ling Yu to send a message to me. Guarantee can be kept secret."
Long Ying's heart moved, and the face of Cheng Ji, the big boss of Piaoxiang Tower, appeared in his mind. If Lu Shifu were to check Cheng Ji's background, he would be sure that Cheng Ji would have nothing to hide. But now that he and Fa Ming are in a truce, it is better to do less than to do more. He said hurriedly
: "Thank you, Brother Lu, for taking care of me. I will definitely ask Brother Lu for help if you need it in the future."
Lu Shifu said: "I never thought of speaking to people like this, but I finally said it. Because Master Ying is a real hero, unlike many people who say one thing and do another. Look at Master Ying
It will be clear after you take over everything about Ling Yu and Ju Ju."
Long Ying said: "We are all brothers!"
Lu Shifu said: "Now everyone is proud to work for Lord Ying."
They entered the palace city through Mingde Gate. On their right was the newly lifted East Palace, and Tao Guangyuan appeared in front.
If you don’t see it, you still have to see it.
Perhaps the person Long Ying didn't want to see the most in Shendu was her, because he had lost the mood and interest to play love games with her.
