Cui Chengru's carriage hadn't stopped yet, but he had already got off and hurriedly ran into the Su Mansion. The old man was sweating profusely, and since his legs and feet were very nimble, several servants were left far behind. Shi Bao was at the door with a few servants.
A guard spoke, and when he saw Cui Chengru's appearance, he said with a smile: "Old man, are you so anxious?"
As Cui Chengru ran inside, he greeted Shi Bao: "Big things, big things!"
Sima Xiangru was reading in the courtyard, shaking his head with a smile on his face. He didn't know what he saw that made him happy. Cui Chengru rushed in with a smile on his face: "Mr. Sima? Where is Mr. Su?"
Seeing Cui Chengru's appearance, Sima Xiangru smiled and said: "It seems like something good is happening? There are always good things happening in our family these days. Prefect Wen was released from prison successfully. I wonder what good news Mr. Cui will bring today?"
Cui Chengru was very excited: "It is indeed a good thing, a great opportunity!"
While the two were talking, Su Ren and Wen Dang came out of the backyard. These days, Su Ren has been accompanying the teacher. Although Wen Dang is an old master, he can't teach Su Ren much about other things, including various ancient Chinese prose and Ji Qu.
The grammar and characters of the Han Dynasty gave Su Ren a lot of help. Since coming to the Han Dynasty, Su Ren has been studying every moment. The characters of the Han Dynasty, the etiquette of the Han Dynasty, and even the clothes are the goals of Su Ren's study. The more he learns, the more he learns.
The more I feel that there is a profound truth in this.
When Wen Dang saw Cui Chengru, he knew that he must be here to find Su Ren. He nodded to Cui Chengru from a distance and stopped walking forward. Su Ren saluted: "Teacher, please forgive me. I guess there is something big, let the students handle it."
one time."
Wen Dang nodded: "You are doing big things. It's really hard for you to stay with me these days."
Su Ren smiled: "The students have learned a lot from being able to stay with the teacher these days. I hope to stay with the teacher more in the future."
Wen Dang nodded, said nothing more, turned around and went back to the backyard. Several people sat down in the lobby, and someone served tea. Cui Chengru wiped the sweat from his forehead and drank the tea in one breath: "Sir, what a great opportunity.
,What a great opportunity!”
Su Ren and Sima Xiangru both looked at Cui Chengru. Cui Chengru smiled: "I have been busy these days for Miss Dong to meet Mr. Dong, but I still haven't done it yet. I have been entrusted by Mr. Dong and I haven't dared to come over to meet him.
I have to come today, this is a great opportunity."
Sima Xiangru smiled and said: "Why is Mr. Cui so secretive? He has been talking for a long time without saying anything serious."
"Blame me, blame me!" Cui Chengru laughed at himself: "Look at me, I'm confused. Although I haven't been able to handle Mr. Dong's affairs, I heard one thing. Your Majesty is planning to go to Pingyang these days!"
"Pingyang?"
"Yes, Pingyang! Your Majesty's sister, Princess Pingyang, married Cao Shou, the Marquis of Pingyang, so she was named Princess Pingyang. Your Majesty and Princess Pingyang are from the same mother. The relationship between the siblings is very good. This time, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager were involved in Confucianism.
Your Majesty is confined within the palace and can only take people to wander around Shanglin Garden every day. In the past few days, for some unknown reason, Your Majesty suddenly proposed to go to Pingyang to visit Princess Pingyang, and the Empress Dowager actually agreed."
"When will we leave?" Su Ren asked quickly.
Cui Chengru thought for a while: "Just in these two days!"
Sima Xiangru said: "It is indeed a good opportunity. It is not easy for Your Majesty to leave the palace. Pingyang is not far from Chang'an. We can seize this opportunity. If we can see Your Majesty, Mr. Dong may be able to get out of his unjust prison!"
The news brought by Cui Chengru made both Su Ren and Sima Xiangru a little excited. Su Ren had not thought of this possibility. In history, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also went to Princess Pingyang's Mansion to escape due to the struggle between the Empress Dowager and the Dou family.
It's just that Su Ren doesn't know the time. Another reason is that Su Ren's arrival has changed many things in Dahan. He is not sure whether Liu Che will go to Pingyang according to the original track.
Princess Pingyang was granted the title of Princess Pingyang because she married Pingyang Hou Cao Shou. Pingyang Hou Cao Shou was the descendant of Cao Shen, the founding hero of the Han Dynasty. When Liu Bang founded the country, he was awarded the title of hero. Cao Shen ranked second for his numerous military exploits, second only to the prime minister Xiao He, and was granted the title of Princess Pingyang.
He was named Pingyang Marquis and established the Pingyang Marquis Kingdom. According to the current location, it is probably near Linfen, Shanxi Province, less than 500 miles away from the capital Chang'an.
Su Ren let out a long breath: "It is indeed a good opportunity. We have waited for this in vain. It seems that the Empress Dowager found out that Your Majesty pretended to communicate with Cao Shou's villa and ministers, so she had no choice but to go
The Princess Pingyang Mansion is discussing important matters and has given us the opportunity! Mr. Cui, could you please find out more about His Majesty’s trip this time, including the soldiers, horses, honor guards, and who is accompanying him, the better.”
"No!" Cui Chengru clasped his fists quickly: "Don't worry, sir, I will figure it out even if I risk my life this time."
After chatting for a few more words, Cui Chengru resigned and went about his own business. Su Ren discussed their plans with Sima Xiangru. Since Liu Che was going to Pingyang, he had to meet him no matter what. There was something special about how to meet, and suddenly
If you show up, you will be regarded as an assassin by the emperor's guards, and you will die in vain. Besides, Princess Guantao will not pay attention to such a big news. Even if they meet, if Princess Guantao knows, Su Ren and others will also die.
Not guaranteed.
The best way is to enter the Pingyang Princess Mansion without being discovered, and then find a suitable opportunity to meet Liu Che. But this is not a simple matter. The Princess Mansion is comparable to princes and ministers, with private soldiers and guards.
If there is a spy, he will be discovered immediately. After thinking for a long time, there was no result. Not only did the two of them feel melancholy, but they also felt pity in their hearts as they watched the good opportunity slip away.
Huo Jin came in excitedly, holding a halberd in his hand. It was completely black, and even the body of the halberd was dark without any light. This halberd was made entirely of iron, and the shaft and the body were connected as one.
It was a lump of iron. Hawking waved it twice, with a sound of wind, which hurt his face.
Su Ren frowned: "Why did you bring this thing in? Is this the place where you practice your halberd?"
Hawking chuckled: "My second brother just gave it to me, saying that it will truly belong to me from now on. Brother, do you still remember the bag that my second brother took out at the Three Immortals Temple outside Zitong? This is what's inside!"
Su Ren immediately remembered it. At that time, he felt that this thing was not simple. Now it seems that his guess was true. This halberd was probably the weapon of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu. Unexpectedly, Leng Jun actually gave it to Huo Jin.
.
Hawking danced twice more: "Yes, good stuff, neither light nor heavy, just right. I'll definitely take advantage of it when I go into battle in the future!"
After Huo Jin finished showing off and was about to walk out, Su Ren stopped him: "Wait a minute, I remember your hometown is not in Shu County. Where did your father say you are from?"
"Hedong Pingyang, what's wrong?"
Su Ren and Sima Xiangru's eyes lit up at the same time. Su Ren couldn't help but be excited: "Do you know if there are any relatives in your family in Hedong, or people your father knows?"
Hawking thought hard for a long time and scratched his head: "I really don't know this. I have to ask my father. Maybe I wasn't there when he left Pingyang!"
"It's too late, think carefully!"
Hawking thought for a long time and still shook his head: "I really don't know why eldest brother wants to go to Pingyang? Maybe someone will know my father's name if I go there."
Sima Xiangru nodded: "That's a way. Xiao Jinzi is too young to remember things. If he goes to Pingyang and mentions the name of fourth brother, someone might actually know him."
Su Ren sighed: "That's all we have to do, go, pack your things, and follow me to Pingyang tomorrow!"
Hawking was overjoyed and rushed out the door to unpack his luggage. The two of them smiled as they watched Hawking disappear outside the door. Children like to run around, and Hawking looked as strong as a calf.
, is actually only sixteen years old. He has been accustomed to following Su Ren all over the country these years, so it is impossible to keep him at home.
Sima Xiangru withdrew his gaze: "Sir, I will go to Pingyang tomorrow. This home...?"
"I am going to take my second brother and Xiao Jinzi with me, and I will leave the house to you, Brother Sima. In order to avoid letting Princess Guantao's Mansion get the handle, don't do anything until I have no news! Also, if Mr. Cui can get through
I asked Dong Qian to meet Mr. Dong, but I don’t know how Mr. Dong has been living there these past few months."
Sima Xiangru nodded: "I understand, I wish you success this time!"
Su Ren smiled and asked Huang Shisan to select people and prepare to leave early tomorrow morning. Since the emperor is leaving in the next two days, they must go to Pingyang before the emperor so that they can sneak into Princess Pingyang's mansion and wait for the emperor's car.
Once it arrives, let alone people, not even flies can fly in. The emperor's safety must be paramount.
After everyone knew about Su Ren's plan, those who went there were very happy, such as Huo Jin. Those who stayed behind were unhappy, such as Shi Bao. Su Ren looked at the wilted Shi Bao and smiled: "You are all guards now.
You are the leader of the team, you are not a child, we have entrusted you with such a big arrangement in our house, you have to do your best!"
Shi Bao lowered his head: "I want to go to Pingyang too!"
Su Ren touched Shi Bao's head: "Are you from our escort team?"
"yes!"
"Then let me ask you, what is the first rule of discipline for the escort?"
"All actions follow the command!"
"Then I order you now to stay at home and take good care of your sister, Miss Dong, the eldest sister, and Mr. Sima. More importantly, my teacher Wen Taishou is also here. For such an important matter, Xiao Jinzi's rough character
I can’t do it, you know?”
Shi Bao raised his head and glanced at Su Ren. Su Ren winked at Shi Bao and said, "Also, take advantage of this period of time to learn from Mr. Wen. When I come back, you will be my junior brother. You are even better than Xiao Jinzi."
powerful!"
Shi Bao rolled his eyes and thought for a while, then nodded: "That's right! I am safer than Hawking. Don't worry, sir, I will definitely take good care of all of us!"
Su Ren nodded and smiled knowingly.
After comforting Shi Bao, he said a few words to others, came to Dong Qian and smiled: "It's okay, it will definitely work out. I have asked Mr. Cui to find someone to let you meet your father. If everything goes well, he will be there in the next few days."
Day, don't cry when you meet him, don't make him worry!"
Dong Qian nodded vigorously, and took the initiative to reach out and hold Su Ren's hand: "Be careful, I'll wait for you to come back!" The two of them didn't have any unnecessary words, everything was said in silence. (To be continued)
