Chapter 713 August Osmanthus Fragrance
In August, the osmanthus blossoms, and the city is full of dark fragrance.
Whenever this time, the capital Jinling to the dignitaries, down to the common people, will call friends, with wine event, enjoy the begonia hosta flowers, the emperor will also reward the ministers osmanthus cake, the monarch and the minister are happy, showing the atmosphere of peace.
However, this year, there is no bit of harmony in the capital, one is the emperor's northern tour, no one gives osmanthus cake, the second is that the golden wind has come early and the frost has appeared, and the third is the tense atmosphere of the capital, which has reached the point that the people in Pingtou can feel it, and naturally there is nothing to be happy about.
However, in the Han Palace, as well as those Marquis and Earl's Mansions, there are many more banquets this year than in previous years, almost every day is full of friends, sometimes after eating at noon, and then opening at night, the posture seems to be about to put the banquet of eight lifetimes on the table. It's just that the guests who eat and drink, turning around, can't turn out of the circle of military generals, which makes the capital even more uneasy.
As the commander of the left guard of the government army and the commander of the soldiers and horses in Xicheng, I don't know how many Hou uncles have invited Xu Yedonkey to drink these days. Xu Yedonkey was originally a Mongol from the Wuliang Habu of the Duoyan Sanwei, and when the Yongle Emperor raised an army to Jingjing, he borrowed troops from King Ning, and it was they who borrowed the Duoyan Sanwei. Since then, they have followed Zhu Di to fight in the south and the north, and have made great contributions. After Zhu Di ascended to the pole, he organized them into 3,000 battalions, and the Shenji battalion and the five army battalions, and called the three major battalions, which were the most elite troops under the direct command of the emperor.
Zhu Di also trusted these Tartar officials very much, and Xu Yedonkey was single-handedly promoted by the emperor to become a court official who now holds great power. Xu Yedonkey is also grateful and loyal to the emperor
Although Xu Yedonkey was a Tartar official, he also knew what those nobles invited him to drink, so he refused all of them. But he didn't dare not go to today's invitation, because it was His Royal Highness the King of Han who invited him...... Of course, Xu Yedonkey knew that King Han was the root of Yiqiē, but the other party could not refuse at all.
One day, Xu Yedonkey was in a state of mind, and his mind was full of whether to go to the Han Wang's Mansion at night. If you don't go, King Han will definitely have to rectify himself, and the surname Niu and the surname Ma are still watching from the sidelines, and it will really be over at that time. But if you go, what if the king of Han makes any non-points? In front of him, he definitely can't refuse, so wouldn't he get on his thief ship? In the future, even if you jump into the Yellow River, you won't be able to wash it......
In this way, after a day, Shen was very ten, Xu Yedonkey went home on duty, ready to change into civilian clothes and go to the Han Palace. There are some things that can't be avoided, and he finally decided to go to the banquet......
Xu Yedonkey's mansion is on Xufu Street, next to the famous Wei State Mansion. Although the regulations are not as good as the Guogong Mansion, the high-gate compound with the black lacquered plaque and stone lion gate has an upstart atmosphere, which is not much inferior to the slightly dilapidated public mansion on the side.
As soon as he saw the old man coming back, Menzi hurriedly led the horse, and the family opened the door and welcomed Xu Yedonkey into the house.
"The master came back so early today?" The maid brought Xu Yedonkey face washing water, and waited for him to take off his official uniform and change into a homely robe. Mrs. Xu also stood with her hands down
"Well, I'm going to Hanwang's Mansion for wine today." Xu Yedonkey rubbed his temples and said: "This day is in a trance, lest I lose my courtesy, I will sleep for an hour first to nourish my spirit." ”
"Then go to sleep, the slave family will call you then." Xu Yedonkey's wife is a North Korean woman, she is soft and docile, standing with Xu Yedonkey, who is five big and three thick, with a bearded face, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a cow chewing peonies.
"Hmm." Xu Yedonkey took the bird's nest offered by his wife, grunted down, and then got up and walked to the study. Perhaps for the illiterate General Xu, it would be more appropriate to call the study a sleeping room.
Entering the study, Xu Yedonkey closed the door and walked to the inner room. As soon as he turned the screen and was about to lie down on the bed, he suddenly had hairs standing on end all over his body, because he saw that there was still a person lying on the bed
The man lay his bed with his hands behind his head, smiling charmingly at him. It's just that this kind of trespassing and invading other people's beds has nothing to do with kindness anyway
But Xu Yedonkey did not shout to warn, nor did he step forward to catch the thief, because he knew this person. However, he never imagined that Wang Xian, the envoy of the Fusi of Beizhen, who should have been taken captive by the gangsters, would appear here.
"Brother Xu, don't come unharmed?" Wang Xian sat up with a smile and said, "I took the liberty of coming, I sinned and sinned." ”
"Lord Wang......" Xu Yedonkey's throat shook several times before he said astringently: "Which one are you singing?" ”
"It's really helpless." Wang Xian said apologetically: "No one knows that I am returning to Beijing now, so I can only use this method to meet my brother." It seems that Xu Yedonkey is such a reliable person, but these words can indeed shorten the distance between the two.
"I can't talk about any friendship with adults...... right" Xu Yedonkey didn't appreciate it, and his face changed from shock to unhappiness. He did have a reason to be unhappy, and it was impossible for anyone to be brought into his house to have a pleasant conversation.
"But our future friendship will be very good, the kind of friendship between life and death." Wang Xian was ashamed to say: "Brother Xu, one of my wives is also Mongolian, so I am also half a Mongolian man, according to our Mongolian temper, open the skylight and speak brightly."
Xu Yedon didn't understand why Wang Xian married a Mongolian wife, so he could call himself a Mongolian, but he agreed with this very much. "I'm listening
"I heard that my brother has received a lot of invitations to invite you to dinner?" Wang Xian asked.
"Not bad." Xu Yedonkey nodded.
"But you rejected them all brother?" Wang Xian is a brother, and he is so affectionate.
"Not really." Xu Yedonkey shook his head and said, "I'm going to a banquet tonight." ”
"Whose host?" Wang Xian asked.
"King Han." Xu Yedonkey didn't hide it from him, took two steps back and sat down in the chair and said, "What, what do you think?" ”
"I don't have any opinions, I just want to give my brother a sincere advice." Wang Xiandao.
"What is built?" Xu Yedonkey said with a gloomy face.
"How good it is to be on shore, don't wade into this muddy water." Wang Xian said slowly.
"It's easy to say, it's always by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet?" Xu Yedonkey's true colors really did not change, and he said straightly: "What's more, Lord Wang is here, doesn't he also want to drag me into the water?" ”
"No, I just implore you to be pulled over by King Han, as for whether you want to help His Royal Highness the Prince, the choice is you, if you don't help, the prince and I will also feel guilty." Wang Xian shook his head and said. He is very cunning now, and there are traps in almost every sentence, what does it mean that as long as he doesn't stand on the side of King Han? If Xu Yedonkey didn't help King Han, he would definitely be on the side of the prince. The so-called strict neutrality, in fact, in other words, is offended on both sides, although Xu Yedonkey is a rough person, but he is also a well-informed rough person, and he will not understand this truth.
"Sure enough, it's time to choose sides?" Xu Yedonkey's face sank.
"This was provoked by the King of Han on his own initiative, and the crown prince had to respond." Wang Xiandao.
"The prince can report to the emperor." Xu Ye Donkey Road.
"King Han hasn't done anything, just invited guests to eat and drink, how can the prince report to the emperor? In vain. Wang Xian shook his head and said.
"I am loyal to the emperor." Xu Yedonkey raised his eyebrows and said, "Just listen to the emperor's will." ”
"You dare to say the same thing to King Han?" Wang Xianyu asked sarcastically.
"How...... Can't. Xu Yedonkey said in a muffled voice.
"As far as I know, the two lieutenants of the brothers, but they are eyeing your position." Wang Xian smiled: "They are all old subordinates of King Han. "I didn't finish the words, but the implication was clear, if you dared to say 'no, word, in front of the King of Han, he would immediately let one of the two take his place. Even if the commanders of the upper guards are all appointed by the emperor, but the chief general accidentally dies or is disabled, and the deputy general acts as his position, which is logical.
"First, King Han doesn't necessarily have to let me make a statement, and then, even if I have to make a statement, I can agree to come down first and talk about it later." Xu Yedonkey is a little bit of a pole lifter.
"It's not interesting to say that." Wang Xian shook his head and smiled, and said, "To be honest, without your help, the prince will be finished this time." ”
"So, I have to hurry up to the Han Palace's mansion to show my loyalty." Xu Yedonkey raised Erlang's legs, how could he have the meaning of leaving.
"Okay, you can go." Wang Xian smiled: "When the king of Han loses the crown prince, what will happen next?" ”
"It's not on my mind anymore." Xu Yedonkey's forehead was sweaty. He obviously couldn't help it, because he also understood that if the king of Han killed the crown prince, the emperor would definitely not allow him, and if he went with the king of Han, the next step would be to rebel against the emperor.
"You know the result," Wang Xian patted his chest and said, "We Mongolian men all have one thing to say, and we will do what we say." Brother just said, you are only loyal to the emperor, right? ”
"Yes......"
"Then you follow King Han to get rid of the emperor's crown prince, is this considered loyalty to the emperor?" Wang Xian sneered: "Not to mention the next step, go directly to the emperor's war."
"This ......" Xu Yedonkey appeared, Wang Xian's mouth was too powerful, and he had already been wrapped around him.
"Let's take a step back." Wang Xian said: "Even if the King of Han is mighty, even the emperor has defeated ......."
"That's impossible." Xu Yedonkey, a general who followed the emperor to fight in the south and the north, knew best who was the most powerful god of war in the Ming Dynasty.
"Right, then what are you tossing around with King Han?" Wang Xian spread his hands and said, "But let's assume that even if King Han succeeds, what can you get?" How many people are in front of you? When it's your turn, what scraps can you have...... Leftovers? ”
"Yes." Xu Yedonkey agreed with this very much: "I am not a member of the King of Han, and the brothers and subordinates of the Lord of Han, not to mention hundreds of people, are all in front of me
"So in any way, my brother shouldn't wade into his troubled waters." Wang Xianda nodded and said: "Look at this beautiful mansion, as well as the beautiful wife and concubine, and the slaves like clouds, brother, this is something that many people can't envy."
