Yongqing felt anxious when she saw that he could not move, but she also knew that Yang Hao was a foreign minister and could not get close to her easily.
She had an idea and thought about it. She seemed to want to stand up, but she acted like her legs were numb and unsteady. Yang Hao saw the opportunity and stepped forward to support her. Princess Yongqing immediately whispered
One sentence: "Wait for an opportunity to have sex with me!"
In just one sentence, Wang Jien put on his mourning clothes and tiptoed over like a white cat. Yang Hao stopped his hand and said with a sad expression on his face: "My condolences to the princess, please take care of your body."
Wang Jien said in a soft voice: "If the princess is feeling unwell, please take a rest."
Princess Yongqing shook her head and whispered: "I, princess, go to the West Side Hall." After that, she gently stepped aside.
The west end of the palace is a convenient place in the palace. The emperor's relatives, civil and military ministers keep vigil for the emperor, but they have to eat, drink, and defecate. Anyone who is in a hurry can go to the place where grains are reincarnated in the west side hall.
After hearing this, Wang Jien quickly took a step back, and Princess Yongqing walked towards the west side hall, never looking at Yang Hao again.
Yang Hao looked as usual, returned to his original position, knelt down, and followed the chanting officer's call to worship as expected. He secretly speculated in his heart: "The princess's whereabouts are so secretive. Why do you want to have a private meeting with me?"
Yang Hao was puzzled. Until Princess Yongqing came back, he still couldn't figure out the reason. Although the emperor's family all lived in Da Nei, the emperor's family had multiple doors and strict rules. They were not the three-room tiles of ordinary people.
We live in two rooms, one in the east and one in the west. Anyone farting loudly in this room can be heard clearly in the house across the street, so much so that the new wife has to catch her even if she farts when she comes across the door.
Yang Hao knew the cause of Zhao Kuangyin's death clearly, but he didn't think that the queen, princess, or princes knew it. Even if they knew it, they didn't find the reason behind it. In the eyes of the world, he could be regarded as a person from Nanya, and Princess Yongqing was like this
Mysterious, what are you going to do?
Princess Yongqing took the opportunity to glance at Yang Hao, but Yang Hao never looked at her again. Now in the palace, the person who pays the most attention to Zhao Guangyi is Yang Hao. There are countless pairs of eyes staring at him secretly. How can he meet the princess? Yongqing
The princess couldn't figure out his thoughts and was secretly anxious, but she didn't dare to give him any more hints.
After a while, Jiao Haitao came to the corner of the hall and gestured to Yang Hao. When Yang Hao saw it, he got up and walked over. Jiao Haitao whispered: "Sir, the shed builders have arrived."
Yang Hao nodded and walked out of the hall. At the entrance of the hall, Wang Jien jumped out from nowhere. Pretending to bump into him, he nodded and bowed and said: "Oh, Da Honglu, where are you going?"
.”
Yang Hao nodded to him and said calmly: "The shed builders have arrived, I will go and set things up."
"Oh..., OK, OK, bowl..."
A small yellow doorman stood out from the door of the palace. Wang Jien said: "Wan'er, I am waiting for Da Honglu. There are many things in the mourning hall, and Dahonglu is inseparable. If anything happens, please run errands and report."
Yang Hao smiled faintly, stood up and left the hall.
At that time, if there were any weddings or weddings, a shed would be built, a shed would be built to welcome guests and send them off, and a shed would be built to celebrate the opening of the business. This shed was often tied with colored ribbons and tied with evergreen pine, cypress branches and five-color flags.
, shaped like an archway crossing the street, every year on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, people watch lanterns, beg for luck on the Chinese Valentine's Day, Mid-Autumn Festival in August, and New Year's Day and New Year's Eve, the city is full of colorful buildings to celebrate, so the shed color industry in Bianliang City is very developed.
Yang Hao limped to meet the shed builders who had been selected into the palace, and Xiao Huangmen Wan'er followed closely. When he got outside, he saw a philistine businessman with a small nose and small eyes, leading a group of people to tie aprons.
Craftsmen in short clothes were waiting there with various tools.
Jiao Haitao stepped forward quickly and said: "Sir, this is Shopkeeper Hou, the foreman of these shed builders. Shopkeeper Hou, this is Da Honglu, I haven't come forward to see you yet."
Shopkeeper Hou quickly stepped forward to greet him and said with a smile: "Da Honglu, these... are the most skilled shed builders in Tokyo. Even if they build a three-door shed with a car in the middle and two doors for people to pass by,
There is no need to use an ax or a saw. The shed has a roof on top and cantilevered corners on both sides. It is all made of fir poles to build a frame and tie cypress branches to the outside. The wooden poles are not sawed or nailed, and the shed is built on the ground.
No holes are dug, no stakes are planted, everything is tied up with ropes, and the archway is set up so that the wind cannot knock it down and people can’t push it apart..."
He was gesticulating and talking, and a few movements that were difficult for outsiders to detect were revealed in his gestures. Yang Hao glanced at him and said lightly: "What's there to brag about? In the palace, Yun
Are you carrying axes, saws and chisels, sawing wood and digging holes all over the ground? It is precisely because of your skills that I asked you to come. Shopkeeper Hou, you have already measured the length and thickness of the required wooden poles.
Finish the work outside the palace, and then move it in and build the shed. This shed has to be built from the inner court, the Ling Palace, out of the Meridian Gate, to the end of the Royal Street. Time is very limited. How do you plan to build it? Come on, my officer
Point to the place along the way and speak to me carefully, but there won't be any mistakes..."
As he spoke, he also made an inconspicuous movement, the corners of his eyes sank slightly, and he paused at the little Huangmen who was listening with his ears perked up.
Shopkeeper Hou's eyes flashed slightly, he nodded and bowed and said: "Don't worry, Da Honglu. Don't worry, Da Honglu. Although the little people are just making a living, they are still diligent in their work. White damask, white cloth, white silk, and white gauze are all used in these applications."
Things, in the past, all the things that built the sheds were provided by the owner's family. The little people were running a small business and couldn't afford to buy so many expensive things..."
"What are you making all this noise about? The Royal Society has sent you these things? Let me go back and discuss with the Empress and Wang Douzhi to move them from the inner court to the outside. I will use them as much as possible without losing a foot of cloth to you. Let's go."
"Yes, yes."
Shopkeeper Hou agreed and waved his hand, and the craftsmen carrying boxes and poles followed in a hurry. One craftsman was carrying a pole, and there was a box in front and behind.
Then it hit Xiaohuangmen Wan'er's calf bone.
There was no sound at all when it touched this time, but the blow to that place was so severe that the pain was so deep that it penetrated to the bones. Wan'er screamed and fell to the ground while hugging his calf. He was twitching on the ground in pain. When Shopkeeper Hou saw it, he
Shocked, he rushed up to the craftsman, slapped him on the head and slapped him in the face, and yelled: "You bastard, what kind of place is this? You are not careful, are you trying to die?"
"Okay!"
Yang Hao shouted coldly: "You can make loud noises in a place like this? Get out of here!"
He glanced at the small yellow door lightly and scolded: "Wan'er, you don't have eyes, so you just bump up without being stunned? How do you usually do things? Okay, okay, go and rest aside.
After you have rested your strength, come back and listen."
Wan'er was so painful that she couldn't speak with tears in her eyes. Yang Hao had already dragged his remaining leg and fell down together.
At the entrance of the Huangyi Palace, several craftsmen were gesticulating, talking and measuring. Jiao Haitao was pointing at the side. After all, the etiquette in the palace was very different from that of local people in funerals. In this aspect, his etiquette was comparable to that of Yang Haona.
A big stick understands.
Yang Hao stood not far away, looking up at the craftsman's apprentice who had built a ladder and climbed up the palace wall to take measurements. His lips moved slightly: "Are you all ready?"
Shopkeeper Hou standing behind him still looked very wretched, but there was also a hint of shrewdness in his small eyes: "As soon as we get your instructions, we will immediately start preparations. Whether you want to take the water route or the dry road, go first."
Should Xi Xi hide in the city first? We haven’t received your lord’s approval, so we have to make preparations to ensure nothing goes wrong.”
He grinned and said in a low voice: "No matter how bright it is under the sky, there are still ditches and culverts, and city foxes and community rats are digging doors and holes. No matter how good the government is, they have no ability to put their hands there."
Yang Hao nodded slightly: "You guys prepare first, how to sneak away, I don't have a clue yet, I have to adapt to the situation and act according to the situation. By the way, I am in the palace, and there are spies watching everywhere, but I want to see an inner palace
She is a very important person here, do you... have the ability to bring her to see me?"
Shopkeeper Hou frowned slightly: "Sir, I'm afraid it's hard to meet people in the inner palace. We can't reach out to this palace."
Yang Hao smiled slightly and said: "It depends on human effort, and you may not be able to think of a solution. The inner court also needs to build a tent. I will take you to the mourning hall in a while. Let's get to know the person first. We will discuss the detailed strategy later."
During the emperor's grand visit, civil and military officials took turns entering the palace to mourn and keep vigil. Although Zhao Guangyi was extremely busy, he had to take the lead in mourning and offering sacrifices three times a day. By the afternoon of the next day, the entire palace was already exhausted.
The Crying Officers are still somewhat energetic, but people like Wang Jien are spinning around and are a little overwhelmed.
Boxes of undyed white silk and white satin were brought out from the harem, and the craftsmen were busy. All the sheds in the inner court had been built, and each shed stood there solemnly.
Prince Defang was still young and could not bear it any longer, so he was taken down to rest for a while. However, the Queen and Princess Yongqing still stayed in front of the funeral, and only rested for two hours to eat something.
After Yang Hao was busy, he returned to the corner of the mourning hall and stood still. Princess Yongqing glanced at him quietly. Yang Hao pretended to cough and nodded heavily. Princess Yongqing had received his hasty signal before, and when she saw him nodding,
Then he gently stepped aside and headed towards the west side hall with two of his personal attendants.
Wang Jien was watching the actions of the civil and military officials in the palace, especially Yang Hao's words and deeds, but he didn't pay much attention to the young princess. He cared about whether the courtiers had any suspicions or actions, but he didn't care at all.
He thought that the little princess who was deep in the palace would know the truth about the assassination of the late emperor, and would have a whimsical desire to contact foreign ministers. Moreover, she would go to the West Side Hall for convenience more than once or twice, so Hun didn't care.
Princess Yongqing led her two confidants out of the mourning hall and headed towards the west side hall. They met two craftsmen carrying a box and walking towards them. Princess Yongqing looked back and suddenly hurried forward to meet them.
As the two sides passed each other, the lid of the box suddenly popped open. Princess Yongqing turned sideways and poured herself into the box. The lid was closed, and the two craftsmen continued to move forward steadily.
The palace maid also seemed unaware and continued walking towards the side hall. The whole process took place in just a split second. At this moment, the two chambermaids who turned around the corner seemed completely unaware of it.
The mourning shed has been set up outside the mourning hall. Yang Hao got the message and limped out to give instructions. Wang Jien yawned, buttoned his eyes, and winked at Wan'er. Wan'er nodded with a grimace and limped.
He limped out and followed Yang Hao.
Seeing that there were all craftsmen outside the palace gate, dancing and dancing, Wan'er didn't dare to get so close. He just stood in the corridor and monitored everyone who approached Yang Hao.
"The top should be higher, and a few more strips of white silk should be draped over it. The door should be wider. Don't scratch it when you have to carry out the late emperor's coffin."
Yang Hao directed hard, limping back and forth, but no one came close to him.
"Hey, put that box down and let me take a rest."
Yang Hao suddenly saw two craftsmen carrying a box over. He quickly greeted them and asked them to put the box down. He pushed them aside and sat down on them, looking exhausted. While he watched the craftsmen setting up the tent,
From time to time, he would give some loud instructions. Wan'er looked bored, so he sat down on the steps and leaned against the pillars of the palace.
"You...get out of the way!"
Yang Hao suddenly felt that his butt was poked by someone's finger. He couldn't help but was startled. He quickly moved to the side without leaving a trace. He saw a small hole about one foot square exposed on the lid of the box. He retracted his hand with a small hand and then moved it to the side.
Come up with a pretty face.
Yang Hao only glanced down, then continued to look forward, touching his lips with his hand, making a thoughtful gesture, and asked in a low voice: "Princess, why do you have something important to do with Yang, and why do you have to do it so secretly?
"
Princess Yongqing said angrily: "Of course I have reasons to be careful, but you... you seem to be more careful than me. What kind of trick is this?"
How could Yang Hao say that he was now the most watched figure in the entire palace? He laughed dryly and said: "I also have my own difficulties. Princess, please speak quickly if you have something to say."
Princess Yongqing calmed down her breathing and said in a deep voice: "Dahonglu, one of the hundred people in Bazhou, at such an age, in two years, he was ranked among the nine ministers, and can be called the first person in this dynasty. I don't know that Dahonglu is the food king."
With your salary, are you willing to be loyal to the emperor?"
Yang Hao's heart skipped a beat after hearing these words. However, there was no second answer to such a question. He had to bite the bullet and said: "Princess, although I am a warrior, I haven't read many books.
But he also recognizes the great righteousness of the monarch and his ministers. The righteousness of the monarch is benevolence, the righteousness of the minister is loyalty, the righteousness of the father is kindness, the righteousness of the son is filial piety, the five principles of human ethics, loyalty and righteousness of the monarch and his ministers come first, and the ministers are favored by the emperor and promoted out of the ordinary, so that they can achieve today's achievements.
Will you not be grateful for your kindness and be loyal to the imperial court?"
Princess Yongqing's eyes filled with tears and she whispered: "Okay, then let me ask you, if someone is unfaithful and unjust and commits regicide, what should you do?"
"It's inexplicable. How could the princess ask this question? Could it be..."
Seeing that he was silent, Princess Yongqing's voice trembled: "What should you do, Da Honglu...?"
Yang Hao lowered his head and whispered: "I should do my best to maintain the order of the court."
Yongqing chased after him: "What if that person... that person now covers the sky with his hands, and one word can make people live, and one word can make people die?"
Yang Hao was worried and said: "The emperor's kindness is so great that Yang Hao is what he is today. Even if my body is broken into pieces, I can't repay the emperor's kindness. In the face of great righteousness, if there are rebellious ministers and traitors who deceive the emperor, I should do it myself."
If you serve yourself, you will have no regrets even if you die."
"good!"
Princess Yongqing responded, and the face revealed on the box was already covered with tears: "Da Honglu, my father died violently and was actually killed by a traitor. This traitor has now usurped the national treasure and is about to board the
The Supreme Throne. Yongqing has no choice but to turn to Da Honglu for help. Dahonglu, can you fulfill your duty of loyalty and righteousness and eliminate evil for the country?"
Yang Hao's expression changed after hearing this, and he coughed twice to cover up: "This is a serious matter. What evidence does the princess have? You can't talk nonsense."
"This princess is not talking nonsense." Yongqing choked and said, "Does Dahonglu still remember the parrot that this princess begged from your friend?"
"Remember."
"That parrot is good at learning words. Da Honglu has seen it with his own eyes. Ever since that parrot was brought back to the palace by my princess, it has always liked to stay overnight on top of Chengchen in my father's palace. Last night, the parrot flew back to my princess.
In the palace, my father-in-law shouted, "I am now the supreme king. Second brother, kill me!" Who else could the second brother mentioned by my father be besides my second uncle? My father-in-law has always been in good health, but last night he got violently ill for no reason.
Doesn't death correspond to this? How could a parrot say these words in the tone of my father without hearing it?"
Yang Hao changed his color and said: "Where is that parrot now?"
Yongqing lamented: "That parrot... has been suffocated to death by the queen's bedding. However, if it is such a big matter, if it is not true, how can I, the princess, dare to make such lies? Dahonglu cannot believe me, so why should I seek verification in person?"
Yang Hao breathed a sigh of relief and murmured: "Kill well, kill well, if this parrot doesn't die, disaster will be imminent."
Princess Yongqing stared at him and asked: "Da Honglu, I have told you the truth and handed over my life and fortune to you. Now... what do you say?"
"this……"
After Yang Hao hesitated for a moment, Princess Yongqing said sternly: "If Dahonglu wants to be rich and prosperous, he can report it to the new emperor now. Just take Yongqing's life and dye your future red with my blood.
"
Yang Hao quickly said: "Where did the princess come from? How could Yang Hao do such a thing if he has any human heart?"
Yongqing said happily: "Then...please ask Da Honglu to keep his words and deeds as they are, and rectify the grievances of my father Emperor Xuezhao. Yongqing will tie a grass ring in his head and he will surely repay his kindness."
Yang Hao looked around, tried hard to keep his face calm, and murmured: "Princess, I wonder how you want me to clear the grievances of the late emperor? Yang Hao doesn't have any soldiers in his hands, how can he assassinate the King of Jin? The King of Jin is full of martial arts, and I have
Even if you are determined to die, you may not be able to kill him."
Princess Yongqing said excitedly: "Da Honglu, don't worry, why would I ask you to assassinate the traitor who usurped the throne and killed the king? Yongqing wants to ask you to report to my eldest brother. My eldest brother, King Wei, is now commanding the army outside."
, if he knows the truth and sends his troops back to the capital to attack Yichen, with the sharp tiger in his hands, he will definitely eradicate the national traitors!"
After Yongqing said that, she opened her big excited eyes and looked at Yang Hao for a moment, but she saw Yang Hao looking ahead blankly. She was startled for a moment, and then she realized: "Da Honglu is trying to turn the tide.
After achieving this immortal achievement, when my elder brother eradicates the national traitors and ascends to the throne, I will naturally not treat you badly, so I will make you a prime minister... No, I will make you a county king. After achieving this immortal achievement, I will make you a prime minister.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that it’s a county king, my lord…”
Yang Hao said blankly: "What the princess means is that the ministers should catch up with King Qiantui of Wei's army and tell him the truth about the death of the late emperor. Then King Qiantui of Wei will lead the army back to the army to eradicate the traitors and restore orthodoxy?"
"That's right." A pair of eyes exposed at the mouth of the box blinked innocently: "What's wrong?"
Yang Hao took a long breath and said: "I... As a great Honglu, when the late emperor dies and the new emperor ascends the throne, how can I leave Bianliang without anyone noticing?"
Yongqing stayed for a while.
Yang Hao asked again: "When I meet King Qian Sui of Wei and tell him that the emperor has passed away and that the regicide was his official brother, King Qian Sui of Jin, will His Highness the King of Wei definitely believe me?"
Yongqing chuckled and said: "This...this is easy to handle. Brother Huang can recognize my handwriting..."
Yang Hao refused to answer her words and asked again: "Even though King Wei Qiansui believed in his service, at that time King Qiansui of Jin had already ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. King Wei had never led an army and had no prestige in the army. He
If we want to lead our troops back to attack the new king, will all the generals in the army and one hundred thousand forbidden troops definitely follow the King of Wei?"
Yongqing was stunned again and asked stammeringly: "Yang... Mr. Yang, then... what do you think should be done?"
Yang Hao shook his head and remained silent.
It's a done deal, one is the King of Jin who has followed Zhao Kuangyin to conquer the world and has been the governor of Kaifeng for ten years. He has long been interested in making friends with civil and military officials and has many powerful forces. The other is a young boy who is just starting out and has almost no foundation. In addition, Zhao Guangyi is about to
He is about to proclaim himself emperor, and the eldest son of the emperor does not even have the status of crown prince. Even the idiots know who they will choose, and the blind people know that he has no chance of making a comeback.
He shook his head three times. Princess Yongqing's cheeks were as pale as paper, and she was far away from the mouth of the box. But Yang Hao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly remembered something, and his heart skipped a beat.
Get up quickly.
He thought for a moment and said slowly: "I... have a way to pass the news to King Wei Qiansui. As for whether King Wei can mobilize the three armies to attack the two ministers, I am not sure."
Princess Yongqing was so excited that she grabbed his hand that was placed at the entrance of the cave: "That's it, that's it. What do you think we should do?"
Yang Hao gently pulled back his hand, his eyes flashed, and he said slowly: "My wish is to act cautiously and first find out the will of the three armies. If the three armies support it and are willing to follow the King of Wei and send troops to fight against rebellion, then you might as well fight.
If the three armies are unwilling to harm the King of Wei, then... the gentleman will take revenge, and it will not be too late in ten years. The incident will not be leaked, and the princess, the empress, the King of Wei, etc. will not be killed. They can tolerate it for the time being, leaving the green hills, and not afraid of running out of firewood.
burn."
Princess Yongqing hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, your thoughts are naturally more detailed than Yongqing's. Please teach me what Yongqing should do?"
Yang Hao said slowly: "Princess... I must promise you three things."
Princess Yongqing said anxiously: "You say it, you say it, you can tell me three things, even ten thousand things, I will promise you."
Yang Haodao: "First, we need to ask the Queen to draft a message of revolt. This message is not just for the King of Wei. It calls on the entire country's military and civilians to crusade against rebellion. It must be certified by the Queen's seal.
, win the trust of the world."
"This makes my mother-in-law and my father have a deep friendship. I wish I could leave with my father. It is only because she is worried about the safety of my brothers and sisters that she endures the humiliation and remains silent. If you are willing to help me, my mother-in-law will definitely agree."
"The second thing is that I also ask the princess to write a home letter in her own hand, specifically to the King of Wei, explaining how the late emperor was killed and your situation in the capital. I will hand this letter to the King of Wei first and ask him to make a decision. After all, , if King Wei sends his troops to attack the rebels, it will be difficult to guarantee the safety of the empress and the princess in the capital. The decision must be made by the eldest son of the emperor."
Yongqing nodded solemnly: "That's no problem. The hatred for killing his father is irreconcilable. What does Yongqing's personal safety mean? What's more, once the elder brother reports, he will not kill us easily. There are interests at stake. , Big brother will definitely understand."
Yang Hao nodded and said: "This third matter is related to the minister. This matter will fall on the princess."
"I?"
Yongqing puffed up his chest, moved his face closer to the hole, and said resolutely: "No matter what you say, I will do it!"
