Sun Shaozu had nothing to do with the princes of Yan. Just because of a misunderstanding, he became a wolf in the front and a tiger in the back. The Third Highness and the Crown Prince pushed back and forth, forcing him to have no choice but to consider temporarily surrendering to the Third Highness. The rest left.
Taking one step at a time, he suppressed his unwillingness and agreed to discuss matters with Roman.
Back in the camp, Sun Shaozu lay undressed on the kang and turned over and over. After a long time, he suddenly sat up. He thought that the old Taoist priest in Qingxu Guan said that Feng Ziying had surrendered to the crown prince. If he went to Feng Ziying to make love, it might be regarded as abandoning the dark side and turning to the bright side.
? So he got off the kang, put on his clothes and left. When he arrived at Feng Mansion, his disciples said that Feng Ziying was not there. When Sun Shaozu asked where he had gone, his disciples turned his nostrils to the sky and said, "How can ordinary people find out where our lord has been?"
Sun Shaozu suppressed his anger and waited at Feng's house for two hours. It was getting dark and Feng Ziying still hadn't returned. The disciples had already looked at Sun Shaozu with contempt, and now they were even more winking. An old servant said:
"Go to the kitchen later to get some food and get more for this official."
While the doorman agreed, he murmured in a low voice: "I don't know if the kitchen will give me a free portion of rice. All the beggars come up with tricks." He also looked back at Sun Shaozu.
Sun Shaozu hurriedly said: "I am not hungry when I am a lower official."
Menzi immediately said: "Oh, you're not hungry, that's all." He waved his hand and left. He really didn't fetch food for Sun Shaozu.
Hungry, Sun Shaozu waited outside Feng's house until the second watch, but Feng Ziying was nowhere to be seen. The doorkeeper shouted to close the door. Sun Shaozu let out a long sigh, mounted his horse and returned to camp.
The next day, he went to Feng Mansion again. Feng Ziying was still not at home, and his face became more and more ugly. Seeing that the time to meet Roman was approaching, Sun Shaozu closed his eyes: It was probably because he and his son were destined to have no ruler or minister.
edge.
The meeting place was a brothel. The old madam smiled and invited Sun Shaozu to go upstairs and called two young men aged seventeen or eighteen to follow him. When they got to the house, they saw two people sitting inside, a man and a woman.
It was obvious that he had pink hair. Looking at the man again, Sun Shaozu was slightly shocked. This man was of the same stature as himself, and even his appearance was somewhat similar. The man stepped forward and saluted and said: "General, please change the clothes you are wearing outside with
"Little man." He pointed to the imperial concubine's couch beside him, "Our husband has prepared some clothes for the general."
Sun Shaozu hummed, "He's quite thoughtful." He stepped forward to check his clothes, and was a little surprised. On top was a silver mink coat with a five-color woven tapestry pattern, and underneath was a dark cloud leopard with an azure dorado pattern.
Crane cloak. I don’t know how much these two pieces of clothing alone are worth. Next to them are large buffalo leather boots produced in Shuanglingnan. Even though Sun Shaozu had no choice but to agree to come to the meeting, he couldn’t bear to see these things.
Keep moving in your heart.
Three fans came around to wait on him and changed his clothes and boots. The clothes fit him well and the boots fit his feet. The fan who was originally in the room also held out a purple gold crown inlaid with southern beads, and the other two each held a mirror.
After combing his hair and tidying up, Sun Shaozu looked in the mirror and suddenly felt the aura of wealth and honor coming to his face, and his face was filled with happiness.
The man silently rolled up a large ink painting of flowers and birds on the east wall. Behind it was a small door. The pink head in the original room helped Sun Shaozu through the door. There was another man and two pink heads over there. This
The man rolled up another painting, and there was another small door behind it. Sun Shaozu and Fan Tou went over again, but there was only one Fan Tou waiting in the third room. The two Fan Tou worked together to clear the secret door and picked up the
The wine jug on the desk poured some water on his clothes, and the two women suddenly smelled of alcohol. Sun Shaozu was thoughtful. The two fans smiled and helped Sun Shaozu up, and walked out of the door to the east corridor.
.
Sun Shaozu pretended to be very drunk and rolled his head on Fantou's chest. The three of them went downstairs laughing and noisy. After exiting the gate of the brothel, a red wheel covered car drove up. Two handsome men got out of the car.
The young boy took Sun Shaozu's hand and complained: "I have eaten so much wine again." Then he helped Sun Shaozu get into the car.
As the wheel turned, Sun Shaozu let out a sigh of relief and said, "Mr. Luo is too careful."
One of the boys laughed and said: "Be careful when sailing a thousand-year-old ship. The general is so eye-catching, how can you be careless?"
Sun Shaozu usually traveled on horseback, and occasionally the carriage was too bumpy. The carriage he was riding in today was not bumpy, so he casually said: "Your carriage is not very bumpy."
Another boy said: "This carriage was originally bought by our husband from Ping'an Prefecture. It is produced in Taiwan. It is called a four-wheel carriage with rubber tires and built-in shock-absorbing springs. It is very valuable, but it is not the same as Tula Baqi.
It looks good. Our husbands have decorated it according to the fashionable style in the capital, so that it can be seen."
Sun Shaozu raised his eyes and looked at the carriage. Inside it was twice the size of an ordinary carriage, covered with white fox fur mattresses and large black fox fur pillows. There were also four heaters with silver frost burning in the heaters. There were two hanging on the front of the carriage.
It was a sheepskin bag. The boy said it contained wine from the Western Regions. There was also a small cabinet with four or five snacks placed in it. He felt really comfortable sitting in it. Suddenly he had doubts in his heart and asked: "
Where did you husband get all this money?"
The two young men looked at each other and smiled, and one of them said: "Our husband works for the prince and his son, how can we not benefit from it?"
Another said: "We are just slaves, we don't know what we are like. The general can just ask our master later."
Sun Shaozu hummed: "You two are so smart, I don't believe you don't know." The two boys smiled and said nothing. Seeing that the car was stable, Sun Shaozu ordered to get wine and snacks. The boys hurriedly served.
After walking for half an hour, the carriage suddenly stopped, and the driver was talking to someone. A boy opened the curtain of the carriage, and Sun Shaozu looked out from inside. He had reached the outskirts. There was a village in front, and the driver said to two people at the door of the village.
After saying a few words, he shook off the riding whip and walked inside. Sun Shaozu knew that he was almost there, so he ordered the curtains to be hung without lowering them. After passing a few farmhouses, he smelled the strange fragrance and rushed into the car. In front of him was a large plum blossom forest.
, the red and white flowers and trees are really beautiful. The carriage walked for a while in the forest, and there was another pine forest in front of it, which was cold and lonely under the white snow. A house was exposed behind the pine forest, and the whole house was painted with green paint. I looked coldly at the house that matched the pine forest.
very.
The two young men asked Sun Shaozu to get off the carriage and led him in. When they entered the house, they looked up and saw an ancient painting. Then they looked at the furnishings in the house. They were either gold and jade, antiques or exquisite seafood. The four words "wealth and luxury"
It hit him on the head. Sun Shaozu became more and more puzzled: Where did this Roman come from so much money? His family was already quite wealthy and had several properties in Beijing, but he couldn't find a place like this.
Just as he was thinking about it, the door curtain was rolled up, and two pretty maids walked out from the back. They were of average height and only sixteen or seventeen years old. They were wearing identical goose-yellow brocade clothes. They called in unison: "General Sun, please come here."
." Sun Shaozu then followed them in. He walked around the big screen, passed through the back door, and walked along the carved corridor for about half a mile. He saw two more maids in brocade clothes standing at the door of a room, both holding out their hats.
He opened the gorilla felt door curtain with his wrist.
Roman was sitting inside reading a book. Two maids were holding beauty hammers. One stood behind him and beat his back, and the other knelt in front of him and beat his legs. When Roman heard the noise, he raised his head and said with a smile: "The general is here?" Naibao
Waving his hands, the maids retreated one after another.
Sun Shaozu was a person who loved beauty very much. He had never seen so many young and beautiful maids, and he couldn't help but blurt out: "Mr. Luo is very beautiful."
Roman smiled and said: "It's just a selection. Pick one out of three, pick one out of ten, pick one out of a hundred, it's naturally different."
Sun Shaozu asked curiously: "Where did Sir choose so many beauties?"
"Of course it's a human market." Roman said, "Otherwise, where else would it be? My family is not a duke's mansion, and I don't have a family to have children."
Sun Shaozu took a breath. These beauties are not cheap in the market. After all, this Luo Man is still rich. "I don't want Mr. Luo's family to be so rich."
Roman said: "My family is an ordinary countryman. Earlier -" he looked around the room a few times, "I couldn't even think about these things. After joining His Highness, I gradually became richer." He looked at Sun Shaozu and said.
, "The prince is currently starting a business. He is diligent and does not like extravagance. He will not give such a generous reward. It is not that he is not generous, but he did not expect this to come from above."
Sun Shaozu followed him and looked around the room, calmly saying: "That's it. I don't expect His Highness to be so rich."
Roman said softly: "Isn't General Gan Lei in North America running a big gold mine?" Sun Shaozu was shuddered and looked up at Roman. Roman nodded slowly. Roman smiled and said, "General, are you willing to go with me to see San
Your Highness?"
Sun Shaozu said: "Won't His Highness come over?"
Roman said: "This is the official's private residence. It's not good for him to come over. The meeting place is private, so it's better to be cautious."
Sun Shaozu was originally very reluctant to seek refuge with His Highness the Third Highness. But now he met Luo Man, such an extravagant Zhuangzi, and such an exquisite beauty. Then he recalled the doorstep of Feng Ziying's house that looked down on others, so he gritted his teeth and said, "You can give it a try if you get in."
, retreating means death. That’s all.”
Roman stood up with a smile and said: "General Sun is indeed not a common man. I would have known that you would make great contributions to our cause." Sun Shaozu hurriedly said a few polite words.
The two of them got into an ordinary green oilcloth carriage. This carriage was much bumpier than the one Sun Shaozu was riding in just now. Sun Shaozu came up with the idea for no reason and sighed that "it is difficult to change from luxury to frugality". After struggling for half a day, the carriage stopped.
In front of a small temple, Sun and Luo got off the car and entered the temple. They followed the monk at the door and walked to the abbot's room.
His Highness the Third Prince was having tea and teaching Zen with the abbot and the old monk. When he saw Sun Shaozu coming, he stood up with a smile and said, "General Sun, long time no see." Sun Shaozu and Luo Man came forward to greet them, but the old monk avoided going out.
The three of them sat down in the abbot's room. Roman first held up his hands and said, "My lord, last night the official recognized Eunuch Wei's godson. It will take some time before he can find out what to say." His Highness nodded. Roman continued.
He asked Sun Shaozu, "Where did General Sun get the news?"
At this point, Sun Shaozu had no way out. He sighed: "I overheard this." He then said that on the Lantern Festival, he happened to meet a Taoist priest with an immortal style, and that person directed him to Qingxu Temple.
Shangxiang said it once, but avoided the fact that he recognized Qin Zhong; he only said that he had never seen Jin Zha worshiped in the main hall, and he was curious to go in and have a look, not wanting anyone to talk in the hall. He ducked and heard someone in the dark.
A young man talks to an old Taoist priest.
When he heard "Feng Ziying voted for the Crown Prince", His Royal Highness was shocked: "What!"
Roman immediately said: "My lord, the minister suspected that he secretly helped the prince last time. Otherwise, Madam Ma's plan was so flawless that she had already coaxed the prince into hiding."
Hearing the words "Ma Niang Niang", His Highness frowned slightly, and after a while he said: "She is just a prostitute."
Roman looked at the tea bowl on the desk: "We think that Madam Ma is more intelligent than any man." After a pause, "This time... the Lord's suspicion of Madam Ma is related to Madam Ma's plan to deceive the prince."
Different approaches but similar results." His Highness the Third Highness frowned. Roman kept silent for a long time and continued, "Back then, the prince was suddenly awakened by Mr. Gao. The old man has been shutting himself up since the chaos in the capital. Who among the prince's subordinates has the honor to invite him?
Move him? If Feng Ziying can clear it up a few times, it will be about the same."
After a long while, His Highness the Third Prince said slowly: "It makes sense." After thinking for a while, he ordered Sun Shaozu to continue. Sun Shaozu also omitted the part where the old Taoist priest said that the Third Prince would never win. When he heard that King Yan only said
With about ten years left to live, the Third Highness and Roman were horrified. When they heard that North America was so desolate that it was like hair drinking blood, the Third Highness snorted, "I knew it earlier."
Sun Shaozu mentioned the name of Zhan Qiao, the counselor of the late Prince Yizhong, and Roman lost his voice and said: "Mr. Zhan!"
Sun Shaozu stopped in a hurry, and His Highness asked, "Do you know this person?"
Roman nodded repeatedly: "It turns out that Prince Yi Zhong didn't listen to Mr. Zhan's plan. No wonder, no wonder!"
His Highness the Third Prince asked curiously: "What is the origin of this Zhan Qiao? What is his plan?"
Luo Man said: "This person is really not well-known. I dare to say that his intelligence is beyond the reach of others. It was the rebirth of Kong Ming and Liu Ji. What Wei Chen couldn't figure out the most earlier was that Prince Yi Zhong and old Chitose were already possessed.
Zhan Qiao, why did he fail so badly? It turns out that he didn't listen to Mr. Zhan. It's a shame, it's a pity." He let out a long sigh and said, "Wei Chen met Mr. Zhan several times when he was young, and he also asked about it later.
His whereabouts are unknown. At that time, Wei Chen thought that Mr. Zhan might not be dead." He couldn't help but said with joy, "I heard what the old Taoist said, Prince Yi Zhong is really still alive after his bad deeds."
Sun Shaozu said: "Why do I read the words of the old Taoist priest as if Mr. Zhan Qiao is not dead yet?"
Roman thought for a while: "It's not impossible. If he were still alive, he would be seventy or eighty years old by now." Nai thought, "I just wonder what plan he gave Prince Yizhong back then. If you can find out,
, we might as well use it for detailed reference.”
Sun Shaozu said: "This is easy. The old Taoist priest obviously practices in Qingxu Temple, and he most likely recognizes Zhan Qiao. Let's just look for him and find out."
Roman hesitated and said: "It's useless even if you find out. Mr. Zhan is the most loyal. The master is the prince's son. When Prince Yi Zhong was defeated, the prince made the first contribution. Considering that the prince has a grudge against him for killing the master, he may not
Willing to help His Highness."
His Highness the Third Highness thought for a long time and said: "Prince Yi Zhong has been dead for many years, and my father has settled the rebellion for him. Besides, the debt should be settled on my Third Uncle after all. No matter what, we will find this person first.
