Chapter 482 Gang civil strife, political fighting in neighboring countries
When the lights first came on, it was not just Yihong Street that was lively.
Even the wine shop in Baishadutou is full of guests.
The restaurants here are mostly aimed at merchants, and the scale is not as luxurious as in Ping'an Square in the inner city. They are basically located in the inn. Although there are also elegant rooms, the furnishings should not be as exquisite and elegant as that.
Few people know that this "Penglai Pavilion" is not facing the main street on the surface, but in fact it is a branch hall of the Five Righteous League in Jinyang Beijing. Few people know that the Jianghu Ranger Yulang, who has been renting in this inn for a long time, is actually the owner of the branch hall.
Except for the insiders of the Five Righteous League.
At this time, the lobby of the inn was full of friends, and the elegant room on the third floor was also full of rooms.
Although in the new year, there are still businessmen running for profit.
When Wen Jin walked into an elegant room under the guidance of the welcome man, he naturally did not attract the attention of others. On the surface, he had business dealings with Penglai Pavilion, so it was reasonable for people to invite the shopkeeper to meet.
The shopkeeper of Penglai Pavilion, surnamed Lei, is naturally a member of the Five Righteous League, but he is not the one who can really be the master.
As soon as the shopkeeper Lei sat down, Wen Jin couldn't hide his anxiety and said tightly, "At first, I thought that the prostitute was easy to fool, but she was also a master who didn't see rabbits and eagles. Instead, she got well with Du Yuniang and saw that she could talk to any jade man... But I had to introduce a prince to her first. That's what I said at the beginning... What should I do?"
"How dare you boast. Why don't you promise her to be a noble concubine in the palace!" Mr. Lei's eyebrows are like charcoal paintings, two like lying silkworms, with a beard on his face, and he doesn't have a good temper.
Wen Jin was embarrassed: "I also heard you mention it. When the major events are decided in the future, I will work with Your Highness..."
"Then I have to wait for this friend to come to my hands!" The shopkeeper Lei was full of anger: "Your Highness is waiting for idle people to see? Can we speak if we don't do three or two things for him first? It's really thanks to you that you can figure it out!"
After a burst of complaints, the shopkeeper Lei finally held back his anger.
Of course, he knew that Wen Jin, who was born as a handyman in the hook column, could not cover everything. However, he was plotting the position of the head of the hall. The manpower in the Five Righteous League could not be used for the time being, so he had to use this foreign talent not to prevent Liangyu first.
"What should we do now?" Wen Jin watched the master calm down his anger before he dared to ask tremblingly.
Although he is a businessman on the surface, he also has several shops on hand, but the real owner is Lei's shopkeeper. Wealth and honor are under the control of others. At this time, Wen Jin has lost the scenery in front of Yu and Xiaoman.
"Wait for me to discuss with Mr. Sun first. After all, he is the staff of the prince's mansion, and maybe he can still speak."
Wen Jin breathed a sigh of relief: "Although the prostitute is cheap, his appearance is indeed enchanting, and his voice is not as good as a red nightingale. He may not have the ability to move the Fourth Highness. Although this is a noble man, I know that men all over the world are the same... At least this little man's eyebrows are better than the red clothes on the red street in those years. , the red clothes can fascinate the Third Highness. Wen Jin also thought that the little man was not worse than Yu. Yu was not a virgin at that time, and he was still fascinated by Yu Dong. He even took a broken actress into the outer room and had children with her. No matter how noble his status is, he can't escape the word beauty.
Unfortunately, once such a beautiful woman climbs to the nobles of Tianhuang, others can no longer touch their fingers, and they have to enjoy it before she "flys to the branch".
It turned out that the thunder shopkeeper was ambitious, and his intention was not only to be the head of the hall, but also an attempt to be the head of an alliance. He also understood that he could not succeed by conspiracy and tricks alone. The leader Shenlong did not see the end. He had been in the alliance for more than 20 years. He could not even see the true face of the leader, so he could only step by step. He took the head of the Jinyang branch hall first and then borrowed it. With the momentum of the fourth prince, we can achieve a "great cause" in the future.
The five righteous alliance is such a one-hundred-year-old gang, covering three-rate and nine religions, and their ears and eyes are all over the world. They could have planned to become rich. It is ridiculous that the leader is greedy for life and afraid of death, and restrains the congregation to follow the rules... If Lei Ren can achieve success, he may be able to promote an emperor and worship him in the future. Waiting for an opportunity.
Shopkeeper Lei has his own ambition and has also gone through some calculations - he has some vision. Although the prince is the direct descendant, several princes are not willing to live in the world. After careful analysis, the third prince is the prince, and the prince is just right. He will not like him as a penniless person, and the third prince naturally does not turn to it. Among the other princes, only when the four princes are prominent and suppressed by the prince can they "abroadly accept virtuous" to pursue a great cause.
So he made friends with the staff of the prince's mansion, the son-in-law of the Li family, Sun Jiadalang.
Lei Ren was also cautious. He knew that the Jianghu gangs could not see the light and did not disclose his details. He only hoped that Sun Lang could introduce him first and wait for the Fourth Highness to make several major events before further plans in the future.
In the final analysis, he has not been able to really build a bridge with the fourth prince yet.
But if the little man can really cast the opportunity of the fourth prince, it is also beneficial and harmless.
Or you can try.
Let's not talk about how Lei Ren discussed with Sun's staff. Let's take a look at the palace of the King of Chu first.
Approaching the Shangyuan Festival, the little Xie, who is holding the middle gift, not only has to socialize, but also has to worry about the matter of the lantern building and colorful sheds. He is so busy that he does not touch the ground. Naturally, it is not easy for Yu Dong to get out to visit Yu at this time. He visits relatives and guests every day, and is not idle.
This day, several guests who came to celebrate the New Year were sent out. When they saw a man in black with black knees covered with no difference between men and women in the porter's room, Yu Dongdeng was on guard and waited to drink and question, but was coldly stopped by Huidu -
"It's a guest who came to see the world son."
So the "cronies" dumb slaves around Yu's family entered Guan Suiyuan in a dignified manner under the lonely eyes of Yu Dong.
Until the courtyard flower hall, when the dumb slave picked the power fence and crawled on the ground to see the son and his wife, Yu Dong, who returned to the study, was still thinking about who came.
The dumb slave met the hostess for the first time, and the scenery naturally saw her for the first time.
also understood that it was Yu's ears and eyes that he didn't know who was placed next to, and he did not show surprise.
When hearing the mute slave's "st plan" to talk about, Yijing couldn't help shaking her eyebrows.
Looking at the people around him, it was still cloudy and clear. The son didn't seem to be surprised at all. He only asked Wen Jin if he had revealed what kind of gang he was. To no result, the son said, "It's easy to come back and meet the dumb aunt. She misses you two very much."
Only then did I know that the woman was the daughter of a mute aunt.
I have a lot of questions, but I don't know which question to ask first.
Yu Yu still understood and took his wife's hand back to the room and explained: "The dumb aunt really can't speak, but her hearing is better than ordinary people. The two daughters are sound people, but their hearing is also more sensitive than others. They used to be the old department of Chuzhou and were armed with martial arts... I knew that Yu's heart was not right, and I took advantage of the commission. When the Five Righteous League brought her back to Kyoto from Longxi, it placed the two daughters of Ming and Hui to her side. Unexpectedly, Yu's ignorance was in such a situation, but it was cruel and matched with her second uncle.
Speaking of An Jin, Yu's expression added a little more or less solemnity: "I kept Yu to make a fire in my second uncle's backyard, but I never wanted to take advantage of An Jin... If she... is also my painstaking efforts. If she is harmful to your heart, she will not be spared."
These words alone can't solve all the doubts in Yijing's heart, but if you want to ask, there are also those "unspeakable" reasons. After all, they hold them down and look up at the golden sunlight that penetrates the haze this day, outlining the bright color of the man's beautiful nose, and there are slight ripples in his clear eyes.
Forgive me for not having the courage to say it, those who are buried in my heart with guilt, this fashion is still shameless to say.
Yu Dong paid great attention to the mysterious visitor with the black face. On this day, he arranged his own confidant at the access control office and waited diligently to spy. Unfortunately, he still did not see the visitor come out until the door was closed at night.
The dumb slave in "Bieyuan" has already presented the * he was ordered to get, watching Yu's beautiful eyes burn into the hollow gold hairpin.
An Jin was unaware that she was about to be pushed to the tip of the storm. At this time, the maid dispersed her hair and copied it with a scroll of poems in her hand. She was sinking into the graceful mood under the literati's ink book. Suddenly, she thought of the lovely face of her brother, who was still learning teeth, and smiled.
Jiang Yue lost her temper, of course, only to the maids in her yard--
On the first day of the first lunar month, the clan entered the palace to congratulate her. She had not received an edict and had felt great shame. Three days later, it was the Shangyuan Festival. This year, the Empress Dowager wanted to go to the Ping'an Gate Building to watch the lights and invited some clans to the banquet. Everyone in the Chu Palace received the edict, but only she and Zhi Niang were not qualified.
Xie "comforted" his daughter-in-law: "The royal palace has set up a colorful shed on Ping'an Street, and it can't be completely empty. It's not good to let Aunt Zhi stay at the top. With you, you can socialize."
She actually fell to the point of socializing with Aunt Zhi! And it will be "looked" by the noble women who have been going back and forth that day!
Everyone knows that she is disgusted by the heavenly family. Although she married into the clan, she is not qualified to participate in the palace banquet.
A good red gold hairpin was broken into a "fighting arch" by Jiang Yue's anger.
But no matter how much Jiangyue is repelled, time can't stay for her. The Shangyuan Festival, which is celebrated all over the world, has come at the right time. Since the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, Jinyangjing has been decorated with lanterns everywhere. Whether it is nobles or ordinary people, there are lanterns hanging on the eaves, and the curfew has been lifted. People can travel around the lantern market all night to watch hundreds of jokes and have fun. Singing and dancing to celebrate the New Year.
However, the emperor received a national letter from the king of Xiliang outside Tongling Pass.
Unfortunately, the only concubine of the third prince's grandfather was not celebrated for six years. When the king of Xiliang pressed the public to make him crown prince, he died of illness in November.
The king of Xiliang wants to send Princess Jinyuan, the daughter of the former prince, and the legitimate son of the Qing family with the third surnames of Xiliang to visit Dalong.
It seems that he intends to let the legitimate son of the Qing family marry and marry the woman of the Dalong clan.
This intention is so obscure that the emperor of Dalong can't understand the plot of the king of Xiliang.
I still asked the third prince to ask questions before I understood.
It turned out that among the three surnames of Xiliang, there was no male in the Wan family - not to mention the legitimate son, even the concubine died of a concubine. The direct heirs of the Hu family were either married or young, and the only one who could marry Princess Jinyuan at the right age was this eldest son of the Qing family. It should be the king of Xiliang who did not give up and insisted on abolishing the three alliances and was unwilling to implement the "daughter husband succession". The alliance caused the Xiliang regime to fall into the hands of the Qing family. This time, it was to let Dalong give the emperor a marriage to deter the Xiliang Yunbian Qing family and make the legitimate son lose the qualification to marry a princess.
"Is it possible that the King of Xiliang wants Princess Jinyuan to succeed to the throne?" The emperor was surprised. In this way, isn't "Frienddom" going to have a queen?
The third prince pondered for a moment and then said, "The king of Xiliang has no son and is unwilling to let the regime fall, so he can only let the princess succeed to the throne... Father, his son's minister sent to Xiliang in the old year and learned that the Qing family is rampant arrogance. If he really controls the Xiliang regime, he may be hostile to Dalong in the future, although I am very big The country is not afraid of barbarians, but it is better to maintain peace and coexistence than war disputes.
The emperor nodded slightly: "Qing is one of the three surnames of Xiliang, and it is not low to be with the daughter of my clan, but since the Qing family has the intention to seize power, is it willing to succumb?"
"Although the Qing family is ambitious, it has not been established. The King of Xiliang can still suppress it. In addition, the Qing family may not think that the marriage with me is conducive to his strategy of seizing power." The third prince smiled and said, "Qingshi knew that the king of Xiliang wanted to abolish the 'Three Leagues' to seize power, and naturally he would not only rely on the policy of 'daughter succession'. It is beneficial and harmless to make friends with me, Dalong."
The emperor was quite impressed, and the phoenix's eyes picked it out: "In this way, you have to pay attention to the daughter of the clan to be married in the boudoir. In my mind, if you want Qing to accept it willingly, you can't be completely out of the important clan."
In this way, the Qing family will think that peace and relatives are valuable and will not be rejected, so as to achieve the strategy of delaying the army of the king of Xiliang.
The third prince smiled enchantingly: "Father Shengming."
