Chapter 72 Zhao Gou
The West Lake meeting between Zhu Xi, Lu Jiuyuan and others was obviously not only widely circulated among scholars, but now, even in the court, there are people starting to fight openly and secretly around the two.
Today's left prime minister Wang Huai has recommended Zhu Xi, Lu Zuqian, Xin Qiji, Lu You and Li Tao many times, so the meeting between Zhu Xi and Lu Jiuyuan was also the best opportunity for Wang Huai to academically attack Tang Si's retreat from the throne and faction.
Tang Situi would not be idle either. Tang Zhongyou, the name of Tang Zhongyou, appeared in his mind for three days, but because when he was the prefect of Taizhou, he was impeached by Zhu Xiliu, who was also in the court, to submit a memorial and was dismissed from office.
Even everyone knows that there is a great disagreement between Tang Zhongyou, Zhu Xi and Lu Zuqian. There are rumors that the reason why Zhu Xi impeached Tang Zhongyou was to fight against his good friend Lu Zuqian. Because Tang Zhongyou and Lu Zuqian had a deep grudge, Zhu Xi impeached Tang Zhongyou in six memorials.
There are also rumors that Zhu Xi and Tang Zhongyou also liked a woman named Yan Rui, but Yan Rui liked Tang Zhongyou. Therefore, in order to relieve her personal anger, Zhu Xi even forced Yan Rui with words, but the woman refused to obey Tang Zhongyou and was willing to follow Tang Zhongyou. So Zhu Xi submitted a memorial to impeach Tang Zhongyou for corruption and abuse of power.
"Tang Zhongyou!" Tang Situi sat in the garden, with four beautiful maids standing behind him, holding fans and flashing gently.
"Have you ever tried Tang Zhongyou to see if he could get Li Tao over?" After Tang Situi finished speaking, he picked a grape with one hand and put it in his mouth, but did not bite it, but just held it in his mouth.
"Li Tao? Why? They don't look like..." Tang Shuo frowned, not knowing what his father suddenly mentioned Li Tao meant.
"Tang Zhongyou is the 21st generation grandson of Duke Ju of the Tang Dynasty, Li Tao... also after Li Ming, the King of Cao of the Tang Dynasty, both of them are from the families of officials who were prominent in the early Tang Dynasty. They should have some mutual appreciation, right? Try it, Wang Huai values Zhu Xi, Lu Zuqian and others. Can a bowl of water really be calmed down?" Tang Si stepped back and walked in the garden and said.
"Yes, father, let's make arrangements now." Tang Shuo said respectfully to Tang Situi.
Then during this period, the sighs were obviously more than usual, Tang Situi walked slowly in all directions with his hands behind his back. After thinking for a while, he sighed, "How was that imperial guard recently? But he still worked as a servant in the Yan family?"
"I haven't been going much lately. I have been wandering around Lin'an City for half a month, but the Yan Mansion has not sent anyone to find him. The child has also asked Wang Zhiwang, and he is indeed still working as a guard at the Yan family." Tang Shuo also began to frown. For some reason, his father suddenly became thoughtful of an imperial guard who was too lazy to even take a look at him.
"Well, that's good. Let him be in the Yan family for the time being. The Supreme Emperor didn't know what he had thought of recently. After the emperor knew that the imperial guards actually killed the Jin people, he called me to ask a few questions, so if I can't figure it out, let's do it for the time being." Tang Situ stopped and turned slowly, looked at Tang Shuo and said, "Don't underestimate the small imperial guards. Sometimes it can help you achieve great things, and sometimes it can also ruin you! Since this imperial guard can break the deadlock and kill the Jin people's ambush, it's not easy."
After saying that, he signaled Tang Shuo to leave, and then Tang Situi fell into deep thought. Why was the Supreme Emperor so interested in an imperial guard? Even when Ye Heng fought with him, the Supreme Emperor did not show any interest in Ye Heng. Why was he suddenly interested in a small imperial guard at this time?
In the imperial palace of Lin'an City, the palace where the Supreme Emperor Zhao Gou lived on his usual life after abdicating, Zhao Gou sat alone in a dim room, holding a letter in his hand, and on the table were also covered with letters from the Jin Kingdom.
Zhao Gou is almost seventy years old now, but he still looks energetic, old and stronger, and he is still majestic. However, his face is ashen at this moment, and the hand holding the letter is involuntarily because the content of the letter is trembling.
People all over the world have mixed opinions about Empress Xianren, who died. There are many rumors among the people that Empress Xianren had married and had children in the Jin Dynasty. Although she raised her mother's age by ten years to dispel such folk rumors.
But all this was futile and could not match the letters of the Jin Kingdom. He always smiled in secret and reminded him that the rumors among the people were from north to south, and were passed down by word of mouth, and now it is difficult to separate the rumors and the truth.
This time, the court has done its best to compensate the deaths of the two Jin envoys, but it is obviously not enough. He still has to humiliate him like this. The Emperor of Jin wants to force me to death!
My brothers? My half-siblings! My mother’s brothers born to the Jin Kingdom! How is this possible! Even if there is, do you really want to tolerate them coming to Lin'an of the Song Dynasty and let the Jin people confirm this matter and let them look at me, the royal family and the entire Song Dynasty joke!
Zhao Gou's eyes were cold and full of murderous intent. In the dim room, the temperature seemed to have dropped several degrees with it. Wang Lun at the door secretly looked back at the closed vermilion door behind him from time to time.
This is not the first time. The Tian family will lock itself in the room from time to time. Sometimes they will sit alone for an hour, sometimes for half an hour, or even sometimes for two or three hours before they will come out of it.
On festivals one after another, Ye Qing basically goes to the ironwork workshop every day, and sometimes he takes a bottle of transparent water and asks Jinse to send it to Yan Qingcheng, asking her to go to the dyeing workshop of Yan's family in the city to try how to dye it, how to follow their previous methods, add these and then adjust the color and dye it.
Ye Qing was missing, but he just sent a maid to communicate with him. Yan Qingcheng always felt that this guy was unreliable in this matter, at least he was not very serious!
So after asking Jinse several times in a row, Jinse stammered and said for a long time, because she didn't know what Ye Qing was still busy in the ironworks workshop.
So Yan Qingcheng had no choice but to take Jinse to the ironwork workshop again. This time, after learning the last lesson, Yan Qingcheng walked straight to the backyard and let the shopkeeper of the ironwork workshop go to the workshop to call Ye Qing out.
Looking at Ye Qing, who was covered in sweat but with joy and excitement on his brows, frowned and asked Ye Qing to clean up and follow him to the dyeing workshop.
Surprisingly, Ye Qing did not refuse, but agreed very happily, and then ran back to the workshop for a while before walking out with his backpack embroidered with bamboo and orchids.
Li Heng and Lao Liu and others at the door were chatting, just like the situation when they passed by San Aunt San’s tavern, when San Aunt San stretched her neck at the door and looked at them.
Old Liu's head was dark, but Zhao Qier and Pou Li San didn't care at all. They still joked with Aunt San, who was still charming.
And every time this happens, Old Liu will look at Li Heng, as if he is asking for help, but more like an order.
Li Heng had no choice but to follow Lao Liu's intentions, and occasionally distract the topic from time to time and talk about other things. After all, since he can get thirty taels of salary a month, Lao Liu actually adopted a default attitude when he talked to Liu Lan'er last time, which was a considerable progress for Li Heng.
Even when Li Heng left, Old Liu caught a hen at home in his hand and asked Li Heng to go back and slaughter him and stew some chicken soup for his mother to drink.
All signs indicate that Old Liu has become extremely loose when Li Heng contacts Liu Lan'er, and he has to nodify his head, but the words have not been made clear yet, so Li Heng has to flatter Old Liu.
Ye Qing, who walked out, kicked Li Heng in the butt, almost staggered, and then said coldly: "Stop choreography of Aunt San, how much money did you owe last time? Aunt San wiped her tears when she saw me. How long has it been, and she won't pay her back."
"I...not me...that..." Li Heng wanted to explain, but after the old Liu head next to him coughed, Li Heng became timid and decided to take the blame.
Old Liu originally wanted to use the reason for debts, hoping that Aunt San could say a few more words to him, but every time Aunt San saw him, she did not mention the owed money, but just lowered her head and passed by Old Liu. When she heard Old Liu cough, she stopped.
After Lao Liu stopped talking for a long time, she continued to bow her head and walked into the tavern. After coughing again, she stopped again. She lowered her head and walked in after not talking.
In short, Aunt San is thin-skinned and can't take the initiative to talk to Lao Liu. After seeing Aunt San, Lao Liu is timid and usually saves a lot of words, but when he sees Aunt San, he can't say a word.
Ye Qing also often walked past Aunt San’s tavern with Jinse these days. After chatting with Aunt San’s two days ago, he realized that Old Liu owed Aunt San’s money for drinking.
So at this moment, he just kicked Li Heng and reminded Lao Liu that if he didn't say that San Aunt was pitiful, Lao Liu would probably ask Liu Lan'er to help him drink in the future, and he would probably be so cowardly that he would never dare to go to San Auntie's Tavern again.
The carriage kept moving forward. Ye Qing, who was sitting on the shaft, looked at Lao Liu who was driving from time to time, or talked to Li Heng about Aunt San. Anyway, he had visited him frequently these days and knew more than any of them.
Old Liu would tilt his body and listen to every word that Ye Qing said after the third aunt's tavern. Yan Qingcheng in the carriage listened to Ye Qing telling what he had heard and seen in Lin'an City these days, and always felt that he gave him thirty taels of silver a month, as if he had been wasted.
