Chapter 239: Taohuajie
Li Bilian was ordered by Zhang Su to rush to Prince Yan's mansion in secret. She didn't want to come to the door openly. She thought that the reason why Madam asked her to come was to keep her secret.
Moreover, she got Bai Suzhen's hint, how many noble ladies in the whole capital secretly wished to marry King Yan, and the lady's delaying the wedding of King Yan was to offend those noble girls.
Bai Suzhen's roots are extraordinary. She didn't see it with her own eyes, and she can also calculate the antecedents of the mortal life of Choixiang boy. Now Bai Suzhen's cultivation base has more than doubled. Those people are the antecedents of Xian'e's mortal existence, and Bai Suzhen can also be considered clearly. Although Bai Suzhen couldn't tell Li Bilian, a mortal disciple, it was okay to imply that her King Yan was admired by so many people.
As far as Li Bilian is concerned, this King Yan is so famous, and she doesn't want to come to the door openly, so don't be shameless to be told that she wants to marry King Yan.
So Li Bilian sneaked into Prince Yan's mansion by relying on the light power of the peak of martial arts, avoiding the guards.
At this time, it was evening, and King Yan had returned from the Privy Yamen not long ago. A few months ago, he went to select personnel from the guards stationed on the Fourth Road in Gyeonggi. At this time, the guards at the lower ranks also sent the list of the people he picked up. He was discussing the formation of the new army with the Empress and the Privy Councillor of the Political Affairs Hall, mainly conveying the guiding spirit and the new formation and training methods of the new army that Queen Xue Ji had obtained from Zhang Su.
Zhao Cong attaches great importance to the establishment of the new army, and he doesn't care about the rumors outside. Otherwise, he would have been horrified when he heard such rumors early in the morning, and it would have been stopped in the bud.
But at this time, Zhao Cong also knew. It was also Princess Xiu who couldn't hold back and brought Zhang Zhenzhen to the door again. Zhang Zhenzhen has long been identified among the relatives of the Zhang family as going to Prince Yan's mansion. Since she has seen Prince Yan's style and royal style, she covets the wealth and glory and beauty of Prince Yan brought by being a concubine. There was a desperate determination to marry King Yan.
On the one hand, Princess Xiu liked her very much, and felt that this niece was like her younger self. On the other hand, Princess Xiu never wanted to see that the biological son of the crown prince was estranged from her, so everyone took what they needed.
Zhang Zhenzhen also contributed to the rumor that Zhang Su wanted to be Princess Yan. Although the mortals who Zhang Zhenzhen devoted themselves to in this life are not familiar with Han Ying and Wang Shuanghua, but at the palace banquet that day, they all had the same thoughts.
Zhao Cong saw Princess Xiu and came back to his mansion. After all, it was his biological mother. It was evening, so he left them for dinner.
At this time, the meal was not ready, so he stayed in the flower hall and sat down to talk.
Princess Xiu said: "I see that His Royal Highness Yan is tanned. No matter how much grievance you have suffered, you must take good care of yourself."
Zhao Cong was taken aback and said, "How can Aunt Huang say these words? Now that I enjoy a high honor and a great wealth, where is the grievance? If the father and mother heard this, isn't it my great unfilial piety?"
Zhao Cong can't recognize Princess Xiu as his mother in terms of etiquette, but if he can give it to Princess Xiu, when he has the ability, he will not lose her. However, when Princess Xiu said this, he was very hurt. There are also many children of Taizu's clan. He can be adopted as a prince. The emperor, the queen and the protector of the country are all supported and assisted by him. Seeing that he is going to take the blame with Jiangshan, why does he feel wronged?
Princess Xiu sighed: "His Royal Highness, there is no outsider here. Tell me the truth, why can't you get married?"
Zhao Cong said, "Didn't I say it earlier, it's not in my life to get married early, only a few years later."
Zhao Cong knew the truth. The two women he saw rejected him. He didn't ask for anything else, and most of the emperor and empress didn't want him to marry a woman other than the two. "It is not advisable to marry early" from the protector of the country also made both men and women, including him, as well as the emperor and the queen, have a decent face.
Princess Xiu snorted softly. After all, Princess Xiu is the biological mother and the princess. King Yan is not the crown prince at this time, so no one can take her as she hums.
Zhao Cong noticed that her attitude was different and asked, "Aunt Huang, is this... something?"
Concubine Xiu said: "There are no outsiders here, so let me tell the truth. You are a prince after all. Although the Princess Protector has made great contributions to the country, the court has not treated her badly. She has lost her morals in ruling the government as a woman. To use power to hold His Highness hostage would be a loss of heaven and human relations. His Highness is the man of Heaven's mandate, no matter how domineering the county master is, there is still a difference between the ruler and the minister.
Zhao Cong was taken aback, put down the teacup, and said, "Why does Aunt Huang say such a thing!"
Princess Xiu said: "I don't feel sorry for Your Highness yet. Although that woman is beautiful, she is rumored to be a monster. If she forces you, how can I rest assured?"
Zhao Cong was so angry that his chest was suffocating, and before his breath had passed, an infinite coolness surged up his back, which was fear.
Zhao Cong said sternly: "Princess Xiu! The Princess Huguo has a kindness to rebuild the Zhao family, and he is dedicated to the sake of the society. How can you be so rude and offensive!"
When Princess Xiu was spoken so harshly by her son, it was not fear, but dissatisfaction.
Princess Xiu said: "I tell the truth, she can do it, can't I say it? Besides, I am a princess, she is just a princess with a different surname, and I am respected, she is humble! Don't say that I'm right, I just say What can I do if I wrong her? Will she still openly rebel?"
Zhao Cong slapped the table and said angrily, "Presumptuous!"
Princess Xiu's body trembled, and then she felt wronged, she wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and muttered, "I am pregnant in October to give birth to a son, and I haven't agreed yet. You were taken to the mountains to study art by an expert at the age of seven. I've been looking forward to it for ten years, you finally came back, and you became someone else's son. I don't ask you to call me mother, but teach me to see you from time to time, know that you are doing well, and no one will bully you. Yes……"
Zhang Zhenzhen was busy wiping her tears, rubbing her temples, and with resentment and complexity in his eyes, he glanced at Zhao Cong, and Rou Rou said, "My aunt has a headache, how can Your Highness talk to my aunt in such a tone of voice? What to talk about? Aunt is far less worried about her eldest cousin than her highness. Aunt never asks your highness for anything, she just wants to be good to your highness. Kill my aunt!"
Zhao Cong felt that his status and aspirations were facing an unprecedented crisis. This was not enough, but he was afraid that both the Xiuwangfu family and his life would be at risk. Zhao Cong's master Guiguzi didn't tell him that he was Xuandu, but Chong Lan called Master like that, and Chong Lan was the disciple of Li Shan's mother, so the identity of the master's uncle was self-evident.
Yuanshi Tianzun, the ancestor of all immortals, his wife came to protect the country and protect the people, how could he really care about his status in the mortal world? Princess Xiu dared to say that she was going to rebel, but in fact she really wanted to rebel, and it was not impossible to cut off his Zhao family's arrogance.
Zhao Cong said: "Miss Zhang, I miss you young and ignorant. Don't get involved in this matter, it will never benefit you."
Under Zhang Zhenzhen's sadness and excitement, the fire of jealousy was burning, and his eyes were full of resentment. He said, "I don't want to be involved, I just don't want to see my aunt sad. There are rumors in the news that the county owner, as a widow, wants to keep his face and fornication. The court is not enough, I still want to be Princess Yan, a crown princess, so as to win the position of the future empress. Therefore, it is good to prevent King Yan from getting married..."
Zhao Cong smashed the table with one palm. Before he could say anything, he flew into a slender woman in green clothes from outside the door, and the woman kicked Zhang Zhenzhen to the ground.
Zhang Zhenzhen screamed, and Princess Xiu was frightened and screamed like a convulsion.
Zhao Cong stared at it, isn't this Li Bilian?
Princess Xiu also recognized her and scolded: "Bold!"
Li Bilian said angrily, "It's you who are bold!"
Zhang Zhenzhen got up in embarrassment and said, "You...Although you are Mrs. Xiaoyi's niece, your father is only a fifth- or sixth-rank school captain..."
Li Bilian said, "Who do you think you are?"
Zhang Zhenzhen said, "My aunt is Princess Xiu..."
Li Bilian sat down on the chair opposite and said, "I tell you, you are dead!"
Princess Xiu said angrily: "You are presumptuous!"
Zhao Cong said: "Enough! Aunt Xiuwang, please leave with Miss Zhang."
Princess Xiu was surprised and unwilling, and said, "His Royal Highness, we all care about you, don't be afraid..."
Li Bilian hummed and said, "King Yan wants to protect Princess Xiu, doesn't Princess Xiu know how to advance or retreat?"
Princess Xiu was originally the wife of a small official, but suddenly she became a princess, and she was like a modern person mentally: they have no career of their own, they live a rich life, they enjoy privileges, they are comfortable, they don’t need mental and physical strength to eat and drink, and their **** is satisfied. , but the spirit is empty and the energy is still excess, so he loves to show off his wealth to make up for this lack. When others questioned her privilege and her legal income, she would only say lemon essence triumphantly, but did not reflect that she had no ability, no contribution and no self-reliance.
Princess Xiu said angrily: "Who are you, dare to commit crimes!"
Li Bilian said: "Someone's life is not long, what am I afraid of?"
Zhao Cong hurriedly said, "Miss Li, don't be surprised, Princess Xiu is just a housewife and doesn't understand anything."
Li Bilian said: "Stay in your house if you don't understand anything. Who dared you to grow hair and dare to slander Madam! If it wasn't for King Yan's sake, even if I killed you, no one would dare to say anything. I'm wrong!"
Concubine Xiu said: "That Zhang Su takes credit for himself, without the ruler and ministers, is it impossible to be lawless?!"
Li Bilian had been listening on the roof for a while, and after listening to the most nasty words, she was already furious. She knew that Zhang Su was going to see blood in this matter, so she was not afraid.
Li Bilian sneered and said, "Does Her Royal Highness Wang Fei want to vent all his dissatisfaction with his wife? Is it my wife's fault to let you become Princess Xiu?"
Zhao Cong hurriedly said: "Princess Xiu, leave quickly, otherwise, I will never see you again in this life."
Princess Xiu took three steps forward and said, "Your Highness, why are you so obsessed? We are really here for your own good."
Zhao Cong said: "I can't bear your kind method. Go now!"
Li Bilian said: "Slow! In my opinion, it is better for Your Highness to keep them in the Yan Palace."
Zhao Cong said, "Miss Li..."
Li Bilian said, "Don't you know the seriousness of this matter? Is it still your wife's fault? It's no use begging me. When the matter is over, who do you want to save? You and your wife will beg."
Princess Xiu said sharply: "My son is King Yan, and she, a princess with a different surname, dares to do this! It's too deceiving!"
Zhang Zhenzhen got up, supported Princess Xiu who was about to fall, and said, "Aunt, I don't believe that there is no justice in the world."
Li Bilian saw that Zhao Cong, who was estimated to be the future emperor, was not good at treating Princess Xiu, but she was rude to Zhang Zhenzhen. She stepped forward and waved her hand and slapped her a few times, kicking her lower abdomen.
Li Bilian scolded: "What!"
Zhao Cong grabbed Princess Xiu and prevented her from protecting Zhang Zhenzhen, which was beyond control.
Li Bilian had enough punches, she clicked on Zhang Zhenzhen's dumb hole, and said, "His Royal Highness Yan also clicked on the princess's hole, I don't want to do anything to her."
Princess Xiu looked at Zhao Cong and said, "You really want to..."
She couldn't say a second sentence for the time being, and the torture of Zhao Cong was finally over.
...
Zhao Cong heard that the servants in the mansion had brought them to the guest room, and then he looked at Li Bilian who was sitting beside him.
"Miss Li suddenly visited, why?"
Li Bilian said: "It's because of what Princess Xiu and her niece said. Madam is very angry, and I think Tianzun is also very angry. This thing can't be good. What do you think?"
Zhao Cong said, "It's the first time I've heard of it, so I don't know the details."
Li Bilian said: "It's too late today. If you don't go to the yamen tomorrow, you will be able to see clearly when you go to the market in Bailongyu clothes. It's only worse than what Princess Xiu said. When I came out of Master's house , I heard from the master that you brought peach blossoms in your life, it is also your cause and effect. I think your romance is your business, but you should not involve your wife. Now the calamity brought by the peach blossoms is being used by people with intentions. Refers to Chaotang. Could it be that you can't wait, do you want Madam to quit Chaotang and go back to the mountains a few years earlier?"
Zhao Cong hurriedly said: "I have absolutely no intention of this, I don't know about this, the master ordered me to go down the mountain to find my uncle. I never thought about being a prince, it was all a coincidence. If my uncle doesn't believe me, I can resign from the title. ."
Li Bilian got up and said with her hands behind her back, "You don't have to say this, I've never heard that the prince could resign."
Zhao Cong said: "Then... Please ask Miss Li to teach me what to do with this matter?"
Li Bilian said: "They not only insulted the madam, but also offended Tianzun. You really don't know, so ask Master Xuandu, what happened to the gods who were disrespectful to Tianzun in the past, and you know what happened. Your peach blossoms hurt your luck, I think it's also because you are always showing off to girls, and you are also responsible."
Zhao Cong frowned slightly, recalling everything since going down the mountain, thinking that when Chong Lan first saw him, he said he was a "little pervert", but he is still a boy.
But he wanted to meet some girls with swaying hearts, including that Zhang Zhenzhen. When facing girls, he would instinctively show a graceful smile. As a young man, he must have the idea of "awakening the power of the world, and lying on the knees of the beauty". This is just like a woman who wants to marry a rich and noble man with a rich wife and a husband. It is human nature.
Zhao Cong said: "I was frivolous and neglected."
Li Bilian said: "Forget about this. You can go to Huixianglou to listen to the reading, and you will know how serious it is. What others want to chase is the root cause, don't wait for the wife to take action, do you understand?"
Zhao Cong held his hand and said, "I also ask Miss Li to defend me in front of my wife. I'm busy with the new army after the spring. It's really the first time I've heard of it."
Li Bilian said: "You are being polite. After all, you have such an identity. If you remember the revenge for making you unhappy today, just look for me in a dignified manner, and it has nothing to do with others."
Zhao Cong said, "Why does Miss Li think of me like this?"
Li Bilian thought to herself: Princess Xiu is King Yan's biological mother after all, and Zhang Zhen is really his cousin. If he becomes emperor in the future and his wife is gone, he is afraid that he will be liquidated.
Zhang Su messed up the script. Originally, Ziweixing had the same Hong Fu Qitian as Wei Xiaobao. Ziweixing's "Peach Blossom Tribulation" and "Mother's Work" killed him a lot. Instead, it was his wife and son who created the most glorious era.
After Li Bilian left, Zhao Congcai became more and more afraid. He went to the Sanqingtang in the house to offer incense. When he put in incense after bowing, the incense altar suddenly burst into flames, and then a bronze incense altar was burned into copper water.
Zhao Cong was startled, and knelt down on the ground: "Master Uncle, calm down, this disciple really doesn't know about this! The disciple must find out what happened, and make Master Uncle innocent."
But Xuandu Dharma Body appeared and said, "Master Wei told you a long time ago that after you go down the mountain, you should be prudent and not take it lightly."
"Disciple knows what's wrong."
"Resolve this matter as soon as possible, and remember not to miss the master's plan."
After speaking, Xuandu Dharma body disappeared, leaving only Zhao Cong, who was soaked all over.
In the evening, Zhao Cong didn't eat either, so he went to the most lively tavern outside for dinner.
At this time, it was dark, and many merchants, wealthy households in the capital, and scholars who came to Beijing were still having dinner in the tavern.
Zhao Cong found a table and sat down. The second came up to say hello and said, "Guest officer, what do you want?"
Zhao Cong deliberately used the Jingzhao Mansion (Chang'an) accent and said, "What famous dishes do you have here?"
The younger brother said proudly: "This is also the time when puffer fish is delicious. I dare to say that among the four major restaurants in Kyoto, we have the first dish in Huixiang Lou. However, our puffer fish here is the best."
Zhao Cong took out five taels of silver, and one tael of silver was equal to one thousand taels of silver. Five taels was a lot, and five taels of silver was enough for a puffer fish.
"Come to the pufferfish."
"Good!"
Zhao Cong said again: "I heard that Huixianglou has a storyteller, why is it so quiet?"
Xiao Er said, "Do you want to hear about books at the guest house? But it's getting dark, and the storyteller has gone home too."
Zhao Cong smiled and said, "Recently, are there any new stories?"
Xiao Er said proudly: "Haha, other restaurants have heard some old stories about the Three Kingdoms, Journey to the West, Sui and Tang Dynasties, but here we have a new story called "Peach Blossom Tribulation", but it is very novel. However, other restaurants have learned from it. Going for a while, it's abominable."
Zhao Cong didn't change his face and asked, "What kind of story is this?"
Zhao Cong took out two taels of silver again, and Xiao Er spoke briefly. Zhao Cong heard Xiao Er's brief description of how lewd the princess with different surnames, "the only one in charge of Chao Gang and the female chicken Si Chen" in the story, how lustful the adoptive prince was, how he disregarded the monarch and his ministers, and messed up the three principles of human relations. The prince was forced to marry a wife, how pitiful the adoptive prince was.
Suddenly, a young man stepped forward, dismissed Xiao Er, looked at Zhao Cong after the disguise, and said, "Is Your Excellency a foreigner?"
Zhao Cong folded his fists and said, "Exactly, when I first arrived in Kyoto, I don't know what your Excellency calls you."
The young man said, "My surname is Liu, I was originally from Huaiyang, and I've been in the capital for a month. I used to be in the **** agency business. Now I want to make a living in the capital."
Zhao Cong said: "It turned out to be the son of Liu of Huaiyang, whose surname is Wang, a person from Jingzhao Prefecture, who came to the capital to seek friends."
Liu Gongzi said, "What do you think when you hear the story of "Peach Blossom Tribulation"?"
Zhao Cong said: "The market storytelling is just a leisure interest."
Young Master Liu shook his head and said, "I don't think so, this is not a trivial matter."
Zhao Cong said: "Ask Brother Liu, how do you say this?"
Liu Gongzi lowered his voice and said, "These words are insinuations, pointing to the people in the dynasty."
Zhao Cong pretended to be surprised and said, "People from the court? Women in the court... Could it be..."
Liu Gongzi chuckled and said, "Isn't it? I live in this shop, so I saw a few scholars here at noon. After hearing this, I was filled with righteous indignation, saying that I was going to contact the students of the Guozijian and knelt down to the county master's mansion. When you go out, please leave the courtroom for the protector of the country."
Zhao Cong said in shock: "The Lord Protector of the Country is the mainstay of the Celestial Dynasty. He is diligent in government and loves the people. He is talented in literature and martial arts. He is unmatched. He said that when the saint was dusty and the capital was lost, the students who did not see the Guozijian could save the country. But it was the county leader who turned the tide. , and also set a record of 20,000 troops and horses to wipe out 70,000 soldiers of the Beidi East Road Army. Who can match these achievements?"
Liu Gongzi said, "So it turns out that Brother Wang also knows this?"
Zhao Cong said: "I also heard that Huguo County mainly assisted the emperor in the Northern Expedition, and he wanted to join the army in Beijing. Such a heroine is far beyond the reach of Fan Lihua of the former Tang Dynasty. How could these students want her to leave the court? Woolen cloth?"
Liu Gongzi said, "The rumor says that she is coveting King Yan and her body is not upright."
Zhao Cong said: "It's nonsense. Since the founding of this dynasty, who has been more selfless than her, the prime minister in the dynasty?"
Liu Gongzi said: "I think so too. I saw that the farming people in the Kyoto area all love the protector of the country. But when she is in the court, she always hinders the way of people's advancement. If it is empty, who can go up? Besides, in the first year of the county lord's entry into the dynasty, he was to verify the land that was originally a deceased noble relative. The land of the Lord was distributed to the landless people, and a benevolent administration of three years of free land was imposed. Many tenants from the original large families no longer cultivated the land under the original owners, but came to the court to take the land and borrow the seeds. The original large families were so In many places, there are no tenants for them to plant. In the early years, everyone was still afraid of Beidi's invasion again, and they were afraid that the life of the county owner would not be guaranteed. Now that Beidi was rejected by the county owner, the emperor did not want to let the county owner resign. But these people have long wanted to remove the grind and kill the donkey."
In the early days of Zhang Su's entry into the dynasty, he put more energy on people's livelihood, to prevent someone from making a fortune in the country, and the interests of the people at the bottom being sacrificed again. Otherwise, she wouldn't have to spend six years with her ability, and even Yan Yun had not taken it down. Zhang Su wants to make the people of the Central Plains more energetic, not to make it look like "the world has been suffering for Qin for a long time" despite the expansion in the future.
Zhao Cong thought to himself: Those scholars want to kneel and beg the county master to quit the court, and most of the scholars have the reputation of being a scholar, and most of these people are representatives of big families in various places. If there is no county master looking at those lands, with their relatively strong local power, they will definitely be able to annex the land, but they will not be able to annex the land, and they will not reach the point where their own land lacks the cultivation of tenants. And there are people in the DPRK who want to protect the country and the county lord, so that their political opinions can be extended, and their political opinions are of course to facilitate the plundering of the interests of the world.
And the rumors created by the women in his "Peach Blossom Tribulation" are being used by people with a heart. How can things be so shallow, it is obvious that there is an undercurrent of conflict that is difficult to calm down and the interests of both parties are surging.
Zhao Cong is a disciple of Guigu, and he can see the word "li" and the word "potentially" very clearly.
Zhao Cong also had to doubt the origin of Young Master Liu in front of him. How could ordinary people know about this?
