Chapter 58

Lin Tie half-pulled and half-dragged Yuan Jinqiu into the wine pavilion in the courtyard, Yuan Jinqiu shouted loudly to pick up the wine and delicacies and bring them up, and said with a smile with Lin Tie and the others: "It's really a coincidence, rushing the envoy back to Jiangning, Miss Su Mei also came to the estuary to stay for a few days, I don't know if the envoy has made an appointment with Miss Su Mei before?" ”

"Why do you want the prince to come forward to invite." Lin Jian said with a smile.

"I also didn't come to nine out of ten invitations, so I'll give it a try reluctantly," Yuan Jinqiu laughed, and instructed Hu Cong to take the name post and invite Su Mei to come over, "You will tell the Su family that I will torture the envoy Yannan Sijie during the banquet, such a wonderful thing must not be missed." ”

"The prince of the world should spare me, some small merits, often announced in the mouth, but it is not a prudent way to say, the people of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are staring at me." Lin Jian smiled and excused himself, "It's really boring to talk about it, and there's nothing exciting about bloody killings." ”

"Listen," at this moment, an old man in a lake-blue silk shirt pushed the door and walked in, and saluted everyone in the wine pavilion with his fists, "The old man came over to join in the fun, there won't be any obstacles, right?" ”

Lin Shu was slightly stunned when he saw the old man in the silk shirt walk in, Zhao Shuhan gently pulled him, and asked him to stand up and salute the old man together, Zhao Shuhan smiled: "It turns out that the grandfather of the country is also interested in joining in this fun, and the envoy can't shirk it......"

Lin Lian knows a lot about Mu Guogong Zeng Mingxin, and has always paid attention to it silently, but it is the first time to take a photo, he raised his hand and said with a smile: "Grandpa Guo is willing to appreciate his face, and he ......can't ask for it" He saw Yuan Jinqiu sitting there without moving, thinking of the rumors in the streets and alleys that he and Zeng Mingxin were fighting for Chen Qingqing, the owner of Jingzhai Garden, and he just smiled in his heart, and invited Zeng Mingxin to come in and take a seat.

"Then the old man will bother," Zeng Mingxin hugged his fists and arched his hands, and walked in, he was frosty and white, his body was tall and strong, and his eyes were bright, unlike people of his age, he looked at everyone in the wine pavilion with a smile on his face, and finally pressed Yuan Jinqiu's shoulder with his hand, and asked with a smile: "You kid has a bitter face, it seems that you don't want the old man to come in and disturb your interest." I have also admired the envoy for a long time, and it is rare to seize this opportunity to drink with us, so you kid will be patient with me a little more. ”

Yuan Jinqiu's buttocks didn't move, he shrugged his face and smiled bitterly, and said, "What do you want to do, what ideas do I have to stop you from doing it?" "I want the little guy waiting outside the wine pavilion to pick up all the wine and delicacies and bring them up.

At this time, the master of the feudal family, Fan Ding, appeared at the door of the wine pavilion with a smile on his face, and said: "It turned out that the grandfather of the country and the envoy of the capital brought wine to the prince, which really made Peng Sheng shine, and the little one personally served you outside to serve you......"

"I met the envoy for the first time, and there was no meeting gift, I took a fancy to a few little girls in the domain, and I wanted to buy it back and give it to the envoy to express my heart, you did this master?" Zeng Mingxin stared at Fan Ding with his eyes, and coldly proposed to buy a slave and give it to him.

"Grandpa Guo is really joking, although a few girls in the feudal family are a little beautiful, how can they have the blessing of serving the envoy of the capital?" Fan Ding smiled and said, "They are really blessed, and they are not small to refute the face of the grandfather of the country." ”

"As long as you can speak, why doesn't Yuan Guizheng want to pull out your tongue?" Zeng Mingxin squinted his eyes and scolded with a smile, "Do you know that the envoy of the capital is disgusted?" ”

"If you pull out your little tongue, who will amuse Grandpa Guo by saying witty things? The envoy of the capital admires Miss Su Mei, how can he put a few ungrown girls in his eyes? Fan Ding smiled all over his face, and asked Yuan Jinqiu again, "Did the prince send someone to invite Miss Su?" Do you want to urge the little one in person? The grandfather and the envoy are waiting here, but they can't be lazy. ”

Lin Lian watched Fan Ding standing at the door of the wine pavilion and talking, as if he was a clown who was amused, looking harmless to humans and animals, but in fact he was a poisonous scorpion lurking in the shadows, I didn't know that he was secretly standing up with a poisonous tail and was always ready to sting himself viciously, although he was very wary of Fan Ding, Lin Lian smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said: "The prince has already sent someone to invite, so I won't bother the old man to run errands......"

"The envoy is polite, if you don't have you in the north to reach the mountains and rivers, how can we continue to indulge in this gentle township?" Fan Ding smiled, his eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, and he unintentionally looked at Lin Jian twice, and then went down to order the wine and food in person.

Life is like a floating cloud, changeable, a sword drawn in anger to deter the feudal tower or Lin Tie in Jiangning when he first became famous, at that time, who would have thought that he would have the scenery of Yannan Sijie and King Qin's first merit, and how could he have thought that he was already a heroic man with a male soldier at a young age?

The dispute between Zhang Yue and Tang Gu, Zhang Yue is powerful, and most officials in the DPRK and Jiangning are not optimistic about Tang and Gu, but if there is still a chance to bet on the chips, Fan Ding hopes to bet on Lin Bin's head, but I don't know if Lin Tie will accept the chips here?

Lin Lian, Yuan Jinqiu, and Zeng Mingxin were idle in the wine pavilion about some innocuous topics, unwilling to talk more about the Yannan war, and after waiting for a while, they heard the crisp sound of the exchange of rings, and before the person arrived, there was a faint fragrance in the nose, Yuan Jinqiu's nose trembled slightly, and said with a smile: "Miss Su Mei is here......

Su Meiluo's clothes fluttered in, his sleeves showed his fat wrists, his makeup and his face were full of makeup, his eyebrows were picturesque, and he picked up the cloth curtain and walked in, and the bright color seemed to illuminate the wine pavilion a little more.

"Concubine Su Mei asked for peace to the grandfather of the country, the prince, the envoy of the capital, Lord Zhao, Lord Ge, and General Ao......" Su Mei bowed down, the wine pavilion was not large, and the fourth lady, Feng Peipei, was guarding in the corridor outside the door.

Lin Jian has not seen Su Mei for a long time, compared to the late autumn of last year, Su Mei's chin is a little thinner, and Xiaoman also went to Chongzhou, but I don't know when she is willing to get out of the feudal building, anyway, I have to ask her again before leaving Jiang Ning.

After a while, Zhang Yubo sniffed his nose and came uninvited, and the banquet was closed early at the beginning of the day, and Su Mei invited everyone to her house at the mouth of the river to continue the tea and discussion. Yuan Jinqiu yawned and said: "The tea made by Miss Su Mei, I drank it tastelessly, so I won't bother it......" Zhang Yubo, Zhao Shuhan, Ge Siyu and others couldn't thank him, Zeng Mingxin held his stomach and burped and said: "I'm old, I like to pour one or two pots ......of tea soup into my belly before going to bed, Miss Su Mei said this, I'm not welcome, and I will be a companion with me."

"It's better to be respectful than to obey." Lin Jian said with a smile, please Mu Guogong first, he and Su Mei followed.

Su Mei set up a house at the mouth of the river, the shape is similar to the cypress garden in the city, so he learned the small feudal building, named the small cypress garden, and the small feudal building shared the same paving stone alley, from the north and south long streets, to the end of the alley is the small cypress garden, and the new house of the Lin family is also separated by 100 steps.

Walking into Xiaobai Garden, Su Mei asked the fourth lady to take Lin Jian and Mu Guogong Zeng Mingxin to sit in the pavilion in the back garden first, and she packed up the tea set and came over to make tea.

Many new bamboos are planted in the back garden, and the hot summer breeze comes through the bamboo tops, and it is cool. The moon is like a hook.

Ao Canghai and several guards and Zeng Mingxin's entourage were all guarding outside the garden, Zeng Mingxin stared at Lin Lian's face by the moonlight, and after a while, he said leisurely: "Su Mei, this girl is not wrong......

Su Mei didn't say it, and Lin Lian didn't ask to the bottom of it, but he could guess some things, Zeng Mingxin suddenly said such a sentence, and Lin Lian didn't feel strange, but for the sake of caution, he didn't pick up Zeng Mingxin's words.

"There are some things that Su Mei girl doesn't tell you, except that there are three little girls who are still under the control of the feudal family, just for fear of implicating the Zeng family," Zeng Mingxin sighed lightly and said, "The imperial court has moved the idea of moving the capital, in this chaotic autumn, what is there to be afraid of implicating a dilapidated Guogong Mansion?" The capital envoy is also a person who does things casually, and he has even done things to support the army to force Shandong, and he is not afraid to listen to the whole story of the Jingbei Marquis conspiracy case, also known as the Qiuye conspiration case, right? ”

"Listen up, boy!" Lin Jian said respectfully.

"The Su family was originally a big clan of Guyuan in Western Qin, but they offended Cao Hongfan, the governor of the three sides of Western Qin at that time, and were forced to move their clan away from Guyuan to settle in Jiangning. When Su Hu first arrived in Jiangning, he was the same age as you, and the poetry and literature pressed Jiangdong as many talents as carp carp in Jiangdong could not raise their heads, and they became famous for a while, and they were famous at a young age, and they were as beautiful as you. At that time, Yuan Guizheng was still the conceited and talented son of the Yongchang Marquis's mansion, although the old man was old at the time, but he had not yet taken the title, so he was free, and he learned from the ancients. Since Yuan Guizheng's mother and Emperor Jingfeng's concubine were sisters, and Yuan Guizheng was married to the younger daughter of the Guanyun Liang family, the sister of the crown princess at that time, we also had the opportunity to enter and leave the palace when we went to Beijing, and we were able to get acquainted with Emperor Qingyu, who was only the prince at that time. The following year, that is, the sixteenth year of Jingfeng, the three of us participated in the examination in Beijing together, and Yuan Guizheng and I were both named Sun Shan, although there was no obstacle to the attack, it was inevitable that the face could not pass, so I returned to Jiangning in disgrace. Su Hu is in the top spot, and he can directly enter the pavilion to serve. At that time, the beginning of Donghu and the frequent occurrence of border affairs, the border army was repeatedly frustrated and suffered major setbacks, and Su Hu postponed the opportunity to go to the pavilion to take up his duties, and decided to go to the outside of the Guan. After traveling for a year and a half, he returned to Beijing and wrote an article entitled "Excerpt of Countermeasures for the Border Affairs of the Two Liaos" and submitted it to the Ministry of War...... This excerpt of forty or fifty thousand words did not attract much attention at the time, and it was not until Emperor Qingyu succeeded to the throne that this excerpt was turned out of the pile of old papers, and Su Hu had the opportunity to ask Emperor Qingyu to go to Liaoxi to serve as a military officer and other border military civil officials. During the Battle of Montenegro, because the coach fled, Su Hu had the opportunity to lead the army. It was also the battle of Montenegro that made him truly famous. Subsequently, he led the troops with the titles of military preparation, deputy envoy and envoy, and successively recovered Ningjin, Montenegro, Shuncheng and other thousands of miles of lost land. Guarding the Liaobian for more than ten years, he has fought dozens of battles with the eastern captives, almost without defeat, and has accumulated merit and was knighted as the Marquis of Jingbei. If he hadn't been involved in the dispute over the succession back then, the charge of rebellion would not have been planted on his head......"

When Mu Guogong said this, Lin Jian roughly knew the root cause of the Jingbei Marquis case, and the leading soldiers and ministers were involved in the battle for the succession to the throne, and most of the failures were difficult to have a good end. Today's Shengshang, and the first emperor Emperor Delong, are the nephews of Emperor Qingyu, originally a line of King Jin, only because Emperor Qingyu did not give birth to an heir, only after Emperor Qingyu was assassinated, he was given the throne of God.

He didn't expect that the relationship between the Yongchang Marquis Mansion and the palace was so close, not only did he return to the government and Emperor Longqing as cousins, but he also married the daughter of the Guanyun Liang family together. In this way, Empress Dowager Liang is still the aunt of Yuan Jinqiu and Yuan Jinsheng, no wonder Yuan Jinsheng will study in Beijing in his early years.

"The dispute between the heirs occurred in the eighteenth year of Qingyu, Emperor Qingyu was nearly forty years old and still had no heirs, and happened to have a serious illness, almost failed to save it, and selected children from the royal family to pass to the knees, which was really a very urgent event in the court at that time; However, Emperor Qingyu himself was taboo for his subordinates to talk about this. Su Hu also inherited Zhongjie's outspoken heart, supervised the army in Liaoxi, and suggested that Emperor Qinglong succeed King Yan, the son of the closest blood relationship and brother, to his knees and make him the crown prince......"

"King Yan?" Lin Jian interjected in surprise and asked.

"Yes, it's King Yan. In terms of blood relatives, King Yan is more orthodox than King Jin, but the relationship between King Jin and Empress Dowager Liang and the Liang family is closer. At that time, just in case, the King of Qin, the King of Yan, the King of Jin and even the King of Lu had been summoned to Beijing to live temporarily, in fact, this has become the bane," Zeng Mingxin did not have many scruples when he spoke, and said, "Although Su Hu said that he had a close relationship with King Yan on weekdays, he hoped to establish a prince as soon as possible, and with the fear and speculation of the courtiers, it was really the words of Zhongjie, and there was no selfishness in it. It's just that he has been leading troops for many years, and he can't guess the thoughts of the people in the palace...... After Emperor Qingyu recovered from his illness, his health recovered well, and he still hoped that the harem concubines could give birth to him and inherit the throne. Although all the kings received the capital, Emperor Qingyu did not mention the matter of establishing a successor at all. In the autumn of the following year, Su Hu returned to Beijing to report on his work, and was called to accompany Emperor Qinglong to Qiuye Prison to hunt, but was assassinated on the way. Emperor Qingyu wounded a heavy crossbow and killed three Assassins on the spot, and the superficial evidence of the Interior Province's urgent investigation indicated that the Assassins might have been sent by the Yan Palace. Emperor Qingyu was seriously injured, and he did not have the energy to study it carefully, so he left after making a secret edict. Empress Dowager Liang supported the King of Jin to inherit the unification with a secret edict and changed the Yuan to Delong. After Emperor Delong succeeded to the throne, the first incident was to arrest King Yan and Su Hu for the crime of treason, and they were beheaded all over the house - but it is a pity that the Jingbei border army at that time gave many generals who were arrested and imprisoned, so that the 100,000 elite division collapsed almost overnight. It was also after the collapse of the Jingbei Frontier Army that the Eastern Capture really became a major disaster that was difficult to eradicate in our dynasty. In fact, several incriminating evidence in the assassination of Akino Prison cannot withstand scrutiny, but time has passed, who can distinguish the details at that time? Emperor Delong succeeded to the throne only two years before he fell seriously ill and collapsed, and the Empress Dowager Liang and her ministers supported the succession of the great treasure......"
