Chapter 142: The Empress Has an Illegitimate Child?
Han Jian returned to Qingxu Yashe from the Gu Mansion, Sima Yi and Ruan Ping had already returned, and the two were sitting at the table as if they were saying something, and Han Jian didn't even notice when he went upstairs.
"Young boy, it's been so long since you came back, and you've missed the show." Sima Yi saw Han Jian coming over, got up and said.
"What's the show?"
"It's the Huang Dagongzi, he was assassinated in the Gongyuan, he hid like a loach in the crowd, and several assassins were stunned that they didn't kill him. Haha, but when I dodged, I still knocked my head and swollen my bag. Sima Qi gloated a little.
Han Jian secretly thought that Huang Lie was retaliated against after all, and it was supposed that he was a member of the Northern King Party who assassinated him. But it is impossible to say that the current situation is a little chaotic, and it is impossible to say that some people want to expand the situation by assassinating Huang Lie, or blame certain parties.
"Where is Huang Gongzi now?" Han Jian asked.
Sima Yi thought for a moment and said, "He will ...... It should be in the Tingwei Mansion, after the incident, Brother Lin has already led the people from the Tingwei Mansion over, but the assassin is very cunning, flashing into the crowd, and it is difficult to find out. ”
Han Jian nodded his understanding, the assassin was picking up a lot of people, just to create chaos, even if the assassination failed, he could get out. This shows that the Assassins were prepared, and even if Huang Lie did not go to the Gongyuan, the Assassins would choose to attack somewhere else.
"The assassins didn't mention it beforehand, why did you go to the Gongyuan?" Han Jian said.
Ruan Ping said with some emotion: "It was a senior brother who took us over, saying that there are many famous scholars today, and we want to listen to it, but we don't want to encounter chaos." ”
Han Jian asked, "Then when you go, your majesty is still there?" ”
"Majesty?" Sima interjected, "It is said. 陛xià would have gotten there, but there was something temporary. Didn't go in person. The young boy would not suspect that the assassin had assassinated ......"
"It's okay, I'll just ask casually. I ordered something to eat. The stomach is a little empty, so I will have something to do first, and Huang Gongzi said that I would have a banquet here in the evening. ”
"Huang Gongzi? Ahem, young man, do you still believe him? This guy says one thing and does another, and today he meets an assassin again, I'm afraid he won't be able to come. Sima Yu said with a look of disdain.
Han Jian smiled slightly, and at this time, Huang Lie's voice came from the staircase: "Who said I wouldn't come?" Today I am the east, and I will not come. Isn't that a joke to a few people? The shopkeeper is here, but he can go to the plate first. ”
Huang Lie said, and people also stepped forward. The clothes on his body are also clean, but they are not the ones he wore in the morning, and there is a big swollen bag on his head, like a horn, but unfortunately it is only one-sided, and the horn is missing one side.
"Huang Gongzi, are you okay?" Han Jian asked with a smile. Huang Lie in front of him. looks funny, and people can't help laughing.
"I didn't ...... It's okay, what can it be? We've all experienced dozens of scenes, isn't it just that the brave gangsters were slightly injured? Hey. Those boys are lucky today, next time I meet them, I have to ...... them Oops, hey. It hurts, Brother Sima, don't touch it. Huang Lie sat down unashamedly. Touching the "horns" on his head, this horn seemed to have become his heroic medal. It's a pity that this heroic medal was almost smashed flat by Sima with a fist.
"Huang Gongzi, you are really heroic today." Sima Yi said with a smile. "I'll toast you later."
Huang Lie smiled: "It's easy to say." Don't pour me wine for a while, although I have a good amount of wine, but I can't stand it, let me drink a few glasses, lest I can't tell the difference between east and west, north and south, and wake up in the morning. ”
Han Jianxin said that Huang Lie was also a little self-aware, knowing that cat urine would get drunk after a few drinks. In the past, Huang Lie drank alcohol, and he poured himself into it, and he couldn't complain about others.
In order to prevent Huang Lie from eating white food by being drunk, Sima Yi specially ordered a small amount of wine, and rushed to drink it with Huang Lie at the banquet, so that Huang Lie only drank two or three glasses in the end, and he was embarrassed to pretend to be drunk after a few glasses of sake. This time, Huang Lie also did what he said, took out the silver to pay the bill, and also rewarded the guy with two coins of silver, and all the guys were very grateful.
A few people went out of the Qingxu Yashe and had already been on the shift, Huang Lie returned to the South Wangfu Annex, and Han Jian and the others also returned to the East Wangfu Annex. Han Jian was about to leave, but he saw someone stopped by the guards not far away, because the light was a little dim, Han Jian only felt that it was a woman, but it was not Gu Xin'er he was familiar with.
"Young boy, it's Miss Xiliu who is visiting." Zhang Xing came over.
"Well, then I'll go back later, and let her talk inside."
Han Jian said, turning around to the house, there were no guests left on the second floor of the house. As soon as Han Jian went upstairs and stood still, Da Nishiliu walked upstairs gracefully.
"I've seen the young man." Onishi Yanagi saluted.
"Something?"
"Yes. Young boy, godmother got some rumors that were unfavorable to the young son, and asked the little girl to inform you as soon as possible. It is now in Luoyang City, there is a rumor spreading, saying that it is between the young prince and His Majesty, there are some ...... I can't tell the relationship. ”
"Straight to the point." Han Jian said coldly.
"Yes. According to rumors, it is said that the young prince is the illegitimate son of His Majesty, and His Majesty has always refused to make a prince, in order to pass the throne to the young prince in the next hundred years. Onishi Yanagi said cautiously. After speaking, she also looked at Han Jian's reaction, and to her surprise, Han Jian did not have an overreaction.
"Where did your godmother find out where this rumor came from?" Han Jian asked in a flat tone.
"Back to the young son, at present, the godmother is starting to send someone to investigate, and I believe there will be news soon. In addition, it is rumored that His Majesty has an illegitimate daughter, but there is no more news for the time being, and the godmother is also investigating. ”
Han Jian smiled, this rumor is quite interesting, first said that the empress has a concubine, and now it is said that the empress has illegitimate children and illegitimate daughters. This basin of sewage is obviously a little dirty, Han Jian was born with his own eyes to see the body of his mother in this world, and he has seen his aunts bury his mother, saying that he was born by someone else, he was the first to not believe it. Moreover, this rumor does not stand up to scrutiny, the empress's daily routine, words and deeds are extraordinary, there is a special agency to record the emperor's daily life, and it is absolutely impossible for the empress to hide from the eunuchs and historians who are responsible for recording the emperor's daily life.
"Continue to investigate, and notify me as soon as there is news." Han Jian said.
"Yes, young boy." Onishi Yanagi bowed down to receive the order.
After finishing the matter, Han Jian was also about to go downstairs and leave, but Da Xiliu didn't dare to go first, just stood behind and waited for Han Jian to go first.
"Is your sister's injury getting better?" Han Jian asked.
"Young Master Lao is worried, and now my sister is still recuperating outside the city, but her injuries are basically healed, and she will soon be able to work for Young Master in person."
Han Jian sighed slightly: "There are a lot of people around me, and there are also a lot of people like your godmother, but sometimes there are still a few talents like your sisters around to do things." ”
Could it be that the young son wants our sisters to use the identity of the dust woman to get close to some dignitaries? Thinking of this, Da Nishiliu couldn't help but feel a little chill in her heart, what she was most taboo about was her lowly status.
Han Jian finally smiled and added: "Don't worry, I won't make you do anything against your will, it's just that I'm in the open, and I need some people to do things for me secretly." ”
Onishiyanagi saluted respectfully, but did not say anything.
Han Jian smiled and went downstairs one after the other with Da Nishiliu. Then Han Jian and Sima Yi and others returned to the annex of Dongwangfu, while Da Xiliu took advantage of the night to go back to Madame Luo to report.
Leaving Qingxu Yashe, Han Jian called Zhang Xing to his side and instructed him some things, mainly to track down the empress's illegitimate son and illegitimate daughter.
"Young boy, this rumor ...... It's the first time I've heard about it, and it seems that the rumors haven't spread yet, and it's still too late to track them down. But if there is a difference...... Spreading rumors...... Please also ask the young man to show it. Zhang Xingxing asked.
Han Jian said: "Rumors are rumors after all, he wants to spread them around, and we don't need to stop anything, just find the source of the rumors, this is what you have to do." ”
"My subordinates understand." Zhang Xing already knew it in his heart.
Back at the Dongwang Mansion Annex, Han Jian had not yet returned to his room to rest, and Sima Yu said: "I listened to the young man's instructions to Zhang Guards just now. Does it mean that some people now say bad things about the young prince and His Majesty? ”
"Do you know who did it?"
"I don't know." Sima said, "But there is something I want to say. ”
"What?"
"It's the last time we went to the palace of Yanning County, didn't you ask me to prepare a gift, young son, I went to the backyard to get one over, and I was a little angry on the way, what is the king of Yanning County to invite a banquet, we have to give gifts, thanks to this? So I mixed his bag halfway through and stuffed a few rocks into it. Sima said apologetically.
Han Jian glared at Sima Yi and said, "What are you good at, someone invites a banquet and sends some gifts over, this is a favor, you also have to play tricks?" ”
"Young boy, don't be in a hurry to get angry, I also think that the Wang family of Yanning County has a big business, how can I look at our little gift. When I entered the county king's mansion, I handed it over to their family casually. But this afternoon, the Yanning County Mansion sent a gift back, saying that it was a return gift. I didn't dare to make my own decisions, so I brought it over to the young man to see. ”
As he spoke, Sima Yi handed over the gift wrapped in a gift box.
"Young boy, I've opened it." Sima asked.
"Wait." Han Jian suddenly felt that it was inappropriate, and now that the king of Yanning County returned the gift, it means that the gift sent has been opened and seen, what kind of gift is it to send a few stones in return?
Sima reversed the weight of the box and said to himself: "Could it be that the return gift is also a few stones?"
"Get outside, ask the guards to open it, and stay away." Han Jian said.
"Huh? Young boy, what do you say? Sima Yi was a little puzzled.
"If a poisonous arrow flies through your throat, you won't die?" Han Jian said.
"Ahh Sima listened to Han Jian's words, and immediately took off the gift box in his hand and fell to the ground. I heard a bang, and the box was violently shaken open by something heavy, but instead of exploding or shooting poisoned arrows, a stone protruded from it, a large white jade stone to be exact.
"Hey, it's really a stone, but it's jade, such a big piece of white jade, the king of Yanning County is really generous." Sima Yi picked up the jade from the ground and said with a smile, as if this white jade was exchanged for several stones by him. (To be continued......)
