Chapter 112:
As soon as the hawker received the heavy sum of money and heard Xue Yan's words, he hurriedly asked for money for him, and said with a smile: "Young master looks young , Do you have a family so early?"
I didn't notice at all, and the other son who followed this son quietly reddened his ears.
"Don't look for it." Xue Yan didn't bother to bring a piece of silver, took the pair of jade pendants, and turned to leave.
The hawker saw that he had met a generous customer.
He hurriedly said a few auspicious words: "Then thank you son! I wish the son and his wife a good relationship for a hundred years, and give birth to a precious son early!"
Xue Yan gave a rare smile to such an outsider.
"Thank you," he said.
However, he was dragged away by Jun Huailang.
Jun Huailang dragged him away before lowering his voice: "What are you talking about, who is your wife?"
Xue Yan but smiled.
Jun Huailang had nothing to do with him.
Seeing that his ears were red, Xue Yan smiled and dragged him to a place with few people on the side of the road, and said: "I was wrong, I am your wife ,All right?"
Jun Huailang turned his eyes on him.
When they were standing in a place with few people, Xue Yan grabbed one of them into the palm of his hand, freed his hand, and tied the other one to Junhuai Lang's waist.
He tied it quite seriously, bowed his head, the top of his jet-black hair gently rubbed against the tip of Jun Huailang's nose.
After a while, Xue Yan fastened the jade pendant.
This jade pendant of poor condition hangs on the hem of Jun Huailang, somewhat unworthy. However, Xue Yan looked very satisfied, he fastened it, and looked up and down.
Jun Huailang couldn't help laughing at him and asked, "Why did you remember to buy this small item?"
Xue Yan said sternly: "Didn't you listen to the stall owner? The top is tied with a concentric knot."
"Huh?" Jun Huailang was a little puzzled.
I heard Xue Yan laugh in a low voice and got closer.
"It's tied to you, but it's tied to you," he said.
How naive.
Jun Huailang thought so in his heart, but his heart softened a little, and the smile on his lips deepened.
Where the lights were dim, Xue Yan suddenly approached, and when Jun Huailang was caught off guard, he quickly kissed him on the lips, and immediately backed away.
"You..."
Not waiting for Jun Huailang to speak, Xue Yan put the jade pendant in his hand into his hand.
"Come on, tether me too," he said.
—
Jin Yiwei's feet are very fast.
Since Guo Rongwen was imprisoned that day, Jin Yiwei collected all the evidence, and sent it to Chang'an together with the IOUs from Master Xu's trading of oiran.
After a few days, people arrived.
Jin Yiwei's men and horses moved quickly and were extremely secretive, until they entered Chang'an City, there was no news from the court and the public.
But Chang'an has always been the site of Dongchang, where they have hands and eyes.
As soon as Jin Yiwei entered Xuanwumen, Donghuamen already got news.
Dongji Factory outside Donghuamen, it was a hot summer day. Chang'an is dry and hot in summer, and Duan Chong's room has Yijian ice, which is blowing cold air.
He put down the half-peeled grapes and picked up the secret letter sent by Fanzi.
After a moment, he laughed slowly.
Wu Shunhai waited on the side, saw his expression, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Master, how is it?"
Duan Chong handed the secret letter to Wu Shunhai.
Wu Shunhai took the letter and read it carefully.
"This... King Guangling wants to make such a big move?" he exclaimed in surprise.
Wu Shunhai laughed twice, picked up the grapes again, and peeled them.
The letter said that the King of Guangling had sent several guards in Jinyi to send a secret letter to the emperor. In the letter, there is evidence that the Xu family embezzled money from Jiangnan and helped the king of Yunnan sent people to cause trouble in Jiangnan.
"Now, won't the Xu family be completely destroyed by King Guangling?" Wu Shunhai said in shock.
Although the Xu family is not as expensive as the old-fashioned Jun family, it has experienced several generations of monarchs, and now it is even more prosperous.
No one could have imagined that the Xu family would fall one day.
Duan Chong laughed.
"The Xu family?" he said. "This kid's appetite doesn't stop there."
Wu Shunhai was puzzled: "What else does he want to do?"
Nowadays, looking at the Dayong Dynasty, although the Jiang family is partisan, it never interferes in the harem and the emperor's heir. Except for the Xu family, who has the ability to seize the heir and thought?
As long as Xue Yan brought down the Xu family, wouldn't the future throne fall firmly on him?
What else would he want?
Duan Chong glanced at her and shook his head.
"In his letter, he clearly wrote the king of Yunnan," he said. "You said, if His Majesty saw it, what decision would he make?"
Wu Shunhai said without hesitation: "According to His Majesty's temper, it is natural to send troops..."
He paused.
"You mean, King Guangling still wants military power?"
Duan Chong put the peeled grapes into his mouth, picked up the handkerchief and wiped his hands.
"Although Dayong's general status is low, there are many soldiers in the court." He said. "He grew up in Yanyun again, and he went to the battlefield when he was ten years old. How many times has he fought against the Turks? If he goes to fight the King of Yunnan, it's not a matter of time before he wins."
"You mean..."
Duan Chong looked out the door.
Outside, the camphor is lush, and the noise of cicadas can be heard.
"If he wins this battle, let alone the fall of the Xu family, he can also cultivate his own power in the army," he said. "At that time, he will be helping everywhere, and no one can compete with him. Will this throne be his sooner or later?"
Wu Shunhai nodded.
"Why isn't the factory owner happy?" he asked. "We've already stood in King Guangling's team, and we've helped him so much. At that time, won't the factory master sit back and relax?"
Duan Chong said slowly: "There are many dreams in the night."
Hearing these four words, Wu Shunhai was also silent.
Now the emperor is in good health, and he is only in his forties. As long as there are no accidents, he will be in government for ten years.
Xue Yan is already in full swing at this time, but who knows what will happen in the next ten years?
Besides, how fickle people can be, they know all too well. Now, although they have a kindness to Xue Yan, according to Duan Shishi's letter sent back on time, they also know that Xue Yan trusts them more than Jin Yiwei.
But if Xue Yan lived a peaceful life in the past ten years, with so many fans by his side, who knows if he will remember Dongchang by then Such kindness?
There are too many variables to face.
For them, the most ideal state is that Xue Yan has been depressed and ascended the throne with their help; Nei quickly ascended the throne, and they took advantage of the current situation and borrowed Xue Yan to make more profits for themselves.
But now, events are out of their control.
Thinking of this, Wu Shunhai's expression also became solemn.
"Then...the factory master, how can this be?" he asked.
Duan Chong picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, diluting the sweet and greasy taste of grapes in his mouth.
“Naturally it can’t really make him so smooth,” he said.
Wu Shunhai nodded again and again.
He was a slave, and he was the most observant in his life. When he saw Duan Chong's expression, he knew that Duan Chong had already made up his mind.
"Father-in-law means..." Wu Shunhai asked tentatively.
"Lingfu now, isn't it still on the Xu family's boat?" Duan Chong said slowly. "If he knows, the Xu family will definitely know."
Wu Shunhai showed a bitter look on his face: "But Jin Yiwei has always been secretive in his work, so he won't let Ling Fu easily..."
He had a meal.
"Father-in-law means, let's give them some news?"
Duan Chong smiled.
"That's right," he said. "No matter what to do after that, the Xu family, who are about to die, have to figure out their own way."
It attracted Xue Yan and the Xu family to fight, no matter what the result was, it would be beneficial and harmless to him.
If Xue Yan wins, his vitality will be greatly damaged. If Xue Yan loses, the Xu family has no way to kill him.
Duan Chong most enjoys this kind of pulling and domesticating people in the clapping. Injured him, and then personally gave him sweet dates, so that he didn't know who the enemy was, and he was grateful to himself.
Really interesting and profitable.
At this time, Jinyiwei had entered the imperial study of Emperor Qingping.
Qing Ping Emperor is reviewing the memorial, listening to the blessings. Seeing someone in plainclothes begging to see him, Emperor Qing Ping put away the memorial and glanced at Lingfu beside him.
Ling Fu saw someone coming in, and was secretly looking at the other party, trying to see clues from the other party's words and deeds, so as to identify their identity.
But those people knelt down in front of Emperor Qing Ping and said nothing. When Lingfu was about to look again, he received the gaze of Emperor Qingping.
This means to let him step down.
Lingfu naturally did not dare to disobey the imperial decree, bowed, and quietly withdrew.
The door of the imperial study closed heavily behind him.
Lingfu glanced back for a while, then walked down the corridor and asked the little **** who was there: "The few who came in just now, you can see that they are Who is it?"
The little **** shook his head blankly.
Ling Fu gritted his teeth and scolded him.
He knows that even if he asks others, he can't ask anything. Those who serve in the palace, although they look beautiful, but they are not peaceful, and only they know.
Serve the master in front of them, they have endless glory and wealth. But they are the vines growing on the big tree. If the tree falls, they will also be finished.
So, as he serves the emperor in front of him, he also needs to find a way out for himself.
He thought that the Xu family was a reliable one, and he was prosperous in the court, and there were favored concubines and concubines in the harem, as well as his own imperial heir.
Unexpectedly, the Empress Jieyu killed herself, and the Xu family, relying on their huge power, even took a few dangerous moves. Get yourself in jeopardy.
Ling Fu only felt resentment.
He was in the palace. Although he was with the emperor every day, his eyes and ears were limited to the palace.
Nowadays, his outside backers are about to fall, and there is nothing he can do.
He took another look at the imperial study.
It was so quiet that nothing could be heard. But he was inexplicably a little flustered, always feeling that something big was going to happen.
At this moment, a little **** came over.
Lingfu took a look, and felt that she was ignorant.
He stepped forward, opened his mouth and reprimanded.
"You know where this place is, and you dare to ram here?" he said.
The little **** smiled secretly.
"The slave knows where this place is," he said. "The slaves are here specially to find the father-in-law."
Ling Fu frowned at him.
The little eunuch's eyes glanced in the direction of the imperial study.
"Father-in-law doesn't want to know, who is inside?" He lowered his voice, only the two of them could hear clearly.
"The father-in-law came with the servant, and the servant will tell you."
