Empress Dugu said: "Zhenglong, this kid still needs to be trained, and you, who is an aunt, also need to have a snack, teach him more." ”
The eldest princess said: "Mother, it's not that my daughter doesn't teach him, but Zhenglong is too proud and can't listen to persuasion, I, who is an aunt, don't dare to care about him, lest he talk nonsense behind his back." ”
Hey, Empress Dugu looked at Yang Ze and said, "Yang Aiqing, you and Zhenglong also have some friendship, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to you to intercede, do you think he is proud, but he is a person who can't listen to persuasion?" ”
Yang Ze hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, as the grandson of the emperor, it is normal for the King of Linzi to have arrogant bones, and if the flesh and blood of the heavenly family are to be lost, it will be the same as ordinary people." ”
He replied quite slippery, he didn't say that Li Zhenglong was proud, but said that he was arrogant, which was not a refutation of the eldest princess's words, but he was not afraid of offending Li Zhenglong, or no one should be offended.
Empress Dugu laughed when she heard this, and said: "You can really speak, if you are older, then it is not wrong to describe you as an old treacherous and slippery." ”
"Wechen has no intention of treacherous and slippery, he just says whatever he thinks, and I hope that His Majesty will not misunderstand Wechen." Yang Ze hurriedly defended himself.
"It's nothing, Mingzhe protects himself, no one can say that you are wrong." Empress Dugu waved her hand, she didn't care if the courtiers were slippery, she had seen them all if they were slippery, on the contrary, she hadn't seen a few ministers who didn't slippery, and she didn't like the kind of ministers who were serious on the surface and had three knives behind their backs, this kind of minister was really dangerous.
Mingzhe has no taste of irony in this era, but many people think it is right, and Empress Dugu also thinks so, she is very disgusted with troubled courtiers, on the contrary, the fewer courtiers she likes. A minister like Yang Ze who can't be offended and hides when something happens, she is the favorite, and the elderly person is the least likely to be troublesome.
Yang Ze saw that there was nothing else. I wanted to retire, but Empress Dugu said: "Yang Aiqing, you go to Zhenglong's house to have a look, talk to him more, and let him also learn what it means to protect himself, don't always think about finding trouble." Don't even get into trouble with yourself! ”
Empress Dugu was extremely disgusted by the struggle for power between her children and grandchildren, but there was no good way, and who to appoint as the heir should be determined by her, not by her children and grandchildren. This annoyed her.
Yang Ze thought to himself: "How dare I teach King Linzi how to be a man, do I have that ability!" He had no choice but to say: "Weichen doesn't dare to teach the king of Linzi, so he can only persuade him with good words!" With that, he withdrew from the main hall.
Seeing that Yang Ze was gone, the eldest princess said, "Mother, do you also see that Zhenglong has not stopped recently?" He is a child, and he has a different temperament from the third brother. is not as calm as the third brother...... "The third brother in her mouth is Li Zhenglong's father, King Xiang.
Empress Dugu glared at her and said, "It's hard for you to stop, you can also learn to protect yourself!" "Her eldest daughter looks kind, but in fact she is not kind at all, others don't know, how can she, a mother, not know, if you want to say that she is happy, this eldest daughter is the happiest.
"Mother, you have wronged the child...... the eldest princess immediately cried out. Pulling the sleeves of the Dugu Empress, don't look at her age, but by her mother's side, she is still coquettish like a little girl.
Empress Dugu just ate her and said, "Okay, okay." Let's dine with me! ”
Yang Ze waited outside the palace for a while, saw that the eldest princess did not come out, and saw a little eunuch carrying a food box into the palace, and asked for a while, only to find out that the Dugu Empress wanted to leave the eldest princess for dinner, so he didn't wait, and found a little eunuch to lead the way and go out of the palace.
But out of the palace, Yang Ze was worried, Empress Dugu asked him to see Li Zhenglong, the king of Linzi, whether he went or not, if he went, then he had to teach Li Zhenglong what Ming Zhe called to protect himself, isn't this looking for a draw, but if he didn't go, in case Empress Dugu saw him again in two days, and asked him if he had ever seen Li Zhenglong, how should he answer, saying that he didn't go, wouldn't it become a disobedience?
After hesitating for a long time, let's go, take this opportunity to meet Li Zhenglong, set up friendship, Lala relationship, Empress Dugu is so old, maybe she will die one day, who will be the emperor is not necessarily, Li Zhenglong looks very competitive, let's go and have a look, and talk to him about the Yuwen family.
Yang Ze got on the horse, asked the guards at the gate of the palace where the Linzi Palace's Mansion was, and then rode away.
The Linzi palace is not close to the palace, and it goes around and around, he walked for a long time to find the right place, but saw that this Linzi palace is not very luxurious, it is much worse than the mansion of the eldest princess, even if it is the mansion of Yuwen Wuluo, it is stronger than this palace.
Yang Ze looked at the plaque at the gate and thought: "There are regulations in the imperial court, what kind of specifications should the palace have, it shouldn't be so small, could it be that Li Zhenglong is the same as Hou Zizhen, a character who belongs to the 'inner show', pretending to be poor?" He is the king of the county, even if he wants to pretend to be poor, no one will believe him! ”
There was no guard guarding the door, he didn't dare to knock on the door immediately, although he knew that this was the Linzi Palace, he still pulled a pedestrian on the street and asked, "This old man, this is the Linzi Palace, right?" ”
Pedestrian said: "yes, isn't it written on that door?" "Look at this person in an official uniform, he doesn't look illiterate, and illiterate can't be an official!
Yang Ze sighed, and said: "Isn't there a rule in the imperial court, the palace should have specifications, why is this Linzi palace built so small?" The houses of the rich people in our hometown are bigger than this palace! ”
The pedestrian snorted and said, "An official from out of town? No wonder! You only know that there are specifications for building a palace, but that specification means that the palace can't be built more than how big, but it doesn't say that the palace can be built small, you say that's the reason, right? ”
Yang Ze suddenly realized, he thought about it, the specification is that the restriction cannot be built too big, but he didn't say that it can't be built too small, and besides, this palace is not too small, but he feels that it is relatively small, which is not in line with the identity of the county king, he has a preconceived idea.
The pedestrian looked at Yang Ze and said, "Are you here to give gifts?" Ah, you are an official from other places, do you want to come and get promoted, or do you want to buy an official? Then you're in the wrong place, the king of Linzi has never done this business, you should go to the princess and the horses. He shook his head with a smile and walked away.
Yang Ze thought to himself: "It seems that Li Zhenglong does have lofty ideals, if he can not sell his official position, he will have a good reputation among the people, and if his reputation is good, those upright officials will support him, and in this way, he will naturally have a lot of supporters, and if there are many supporters, it will be much more convenient to do certain things!" ”
When he arrived at the door of the palace, he went up the steps and knocked on the door knocker, shouting: "Is there anyone, the king of Linzi can be in the palace, and the next official Yang Ze asks to see him!" ”
The door of the mansion slowly opened, and a head poked out from inside, it was a twelve or thirteen-year-old child servant, and the servant said: "My prince is not at home, if you want to find him, you have to go to Lord Yuwen's house, or go to Dali Temple." ”
Yang Ze said with a smile: "This official is Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and your prince is not in Dali Temple." Why, hasn't the prince come back yet? ”
The servant shook his head and said, "Not yet!" After glancing at Yang Ze a few times, he saw that Yang Ze was wearing a five-grade official uniform, but he was very young, not much older than himself, and his words were very polite, this servant had a good impression of him, so he said: "Otherwise, you go to my old prince's mansion to have a look, maybe my prince is there!" ”
Yang Ze sighed and said, "Where is your old prince's mansion?" ”
The servant showed him the way, and then said: "But my old prince doesn't like to see outsiders, and the older the official, the more he doesn't see him!" ”
Yang Ze pointed to the official uniform on his body and said, "Is the five-grade official considered big?" ”
The servant laughed out loud and said, "It's big, so you can't see my old prince, but you didn't go to see the old prince, aren't you looking for my prince!" ”
Yang Ze smiled at him, thanked him, left the Linzi Palace, and went to find the Prime Minister's Mansion. Halfway through, he thought: "King Xiang is the third son of Empress Dugu, and he is so low-key, it seems that he is a person with no ambitions, far worse than his son." ”
Xiangwang's Mansion is not too far from Linzi Wangfu, and it will be there after two squares. This time, Yang Ze saw the Xiangwang Mansion and couldn't help but cheer, this Xiangwang Mansion is really not small, from the appearance, it is on par with the eldest princess's mansion, and it is much bigger than the Linzi Palace.
Yang Ze dismounted at the gate of the palace, and when he saw two rows of guards standing outside the door, he said: "Brother of the guards, dare to ask if the king of Linzi is in the palace?" ”
The leading guard said politely: "Don't dare to be, this lord doesn't want to call us brothers like this, the king of Linzi is indeed in the mansion at this time, may I ask what the lord is called, what is the matter with finding the king of Linzi?" ”
Yang Ze breathed a sigh of relief, Li Zhenglong was fine in the mansion, he said: "This official Yang Ze, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, was ordered by His Majesty to find the King of Linzi to have something, and he also bothered a few people to go in and say hello. ”
After he finished speaking, several guards at the door trembled together, and the leading guard said in a trembling voice, "Did His Majesty ask Lord Yang to come?" But who came to proclaim the decree? ”
The leading guard's face turned pale in an instant, and the other guards were also the same, looking at them, they were frightened, as if a catastrophe was coming!
Yang Ze looked at their appearance, and was surprised in his heart, he didn't need such a big reaction when he came to the palace by himself, right? But when he thought about it, he immediately understood that although Empress Dugu was the mother of King Xiang, although she was a family, but for the imperial power, can her mother be the emperor and her father be the emperor, presumably Empress Dugu was in order to prevent her sons from rebelling and taking back the throne, so she was quite strict with her sons, maybe she had cleaned up King Xiang's brothers, and the first thing she did to clean up her sons was to send someone to announce the decree, which made the guards in King Xiang's palace so afraid.
