In just one night, Kyoto was in chaos.
Emperor Ling Yu lingered on the sick bed, and the palace was brightly lit for a whole night. The four princes' mansion fled and ran, and a fire burned the mansion into darkness, but they failed to find the protagonist of the story.
When he got the news, Wu Cong had found his daughter Hong for ten years from somewhere, and she was having a drink with Yin Wenzheng in the army.
He dropped the wine cup in his hand and stood up: "What?! How is the situation in Kyoto now?"
The soldier who delivered the letter glanced at Yin Wenzheng, as if hesitating whether to say it or not, Wu Cong frowned, turned around and cupped his fists at Yin Wenzheng: "The general has something to do, so I will take my leave first." Then he hurriedly pushed the soldier out of the tent.
On the other hand, Yin Wenzheng was very leisurely. He drank the remaining half cup of Nurhong in one gulp, and then played with the teacup and said slowly: "It's a pity that I have a complete set of teacups..."
"The prince is still in the mood to care about his teacup." Bigen cleaned up the broken teacup on the ground, and said, "The situation in the capital is in chaos, and the little soldier just didn't understand what he said, but I need a letter of divorce." Ask Mingfenglou about the situation?"
"Wait a little longer." Yin Wenzheng said indifferently, "I'm not just raising those people in Mingfeng Tower for free. I think news will come soon..."
"It's just half a step slower than the fourth prince." Bi Gen shook his head with a slight sense of denial.
"Although you are at odds with the people in Mingfeng Tower, you don't have to be so obvious, right?" Yin Wenzheng smiled at him, and said to him with a smile, "The news may not be complete soon."
Beacon nodded thoughtfully.
"What I'm just curious about is why the old man suddenly made a move on the fourth child. Although he was jealous of the fourth child in the way he showed earlier, the fourth brother has made great achievements in battle, and he is indeed the most likely to take that position." Yin Wenzheng half-closed his eyes, shook the empty teacup in his hand, and said, "Who is this half a step faster than me? Lu Yanfeng?"
"Perhaps." As soon as Bigen finished speaking, he heard a very slight whistle outside, and immediately turned and walked outside, "Here we are."
……………
On the evening of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Lu Yanfeng took the imperial decree and went to the fourth prince's mansion to arrest someone. At first he was not even allowed to enter the door. The fourth prince showed up.
Later, for some reason, Ling Yingchong actually let Lu Yanfeng enter the mansion to search for things, and indeed found something. Lu Yanfeng immediately took out the imperial decree and ordered people to take down Ling Yingchong. Ling Yingchong, who was cooperating at first, didn't know what was going on, but suddenly moved his hands to fight against the forbidden army. In the end, he guessed that the situation was completely out of his control Then, he slipped away. The majestic fourth prince was charged with collaborating with the enemy, treason, and intending to rebel by Emperor Ling Yu's hand. He fell from the sky to hell overnight and became a street rat. .
When the people from Mingfeng Tower sent the news, Lu Yanfeng was disposing of Concubine Zhou and sent her to the clan mansion for strict supervision.
Mingfeng Tower also brought a news that the fourth prince was forced to be on the verge of death and had to send it out.
"The implication is that brother Ling really wants to rebel?" Jiang Tangzhou pondered for a while before opening his mouth.
"Brother Ling?" Yin Wenzheng completely misunderstood the point, and asked his title, "How did you become Brother Ling? Since you and him haven't seen each other for such a long time, why are you still so close? "
Jiang Tangzhou laughed and said, "It's just a title, what are you so concerned about?"
"I didn't see you calling me so intimate!" Yin Wenzheng was not convinced, and he looked a little angry when he spoke, "I always call you Atang, how about you? When you are in a good mood, say something." Wenzheng, when you are in a bad mood, you call me Yin Wenzheng by first and last name, those who know know that you and I are husband and wife, but those who don’t know think we are just strangers!”
"Why do I smell a sour smell in the air?" Jiang Tangzhou stretched out his hand and patted his head, with a look of hesitation on his face, he called tentatively, "Ah Zheng?"
Only then did Yin Wenzheng feel a little more comfortable: "Just this time?"
"Okay." Jiang Tangzhou felt as if he was coaxing a child, shook his head amusedly, and continued, "Looking at the current situation, Ling... the fourth prince should be planning to rebel, and if he does, the capital will be in chaos. , what are you going to do?"
Yin Wenzheng twirled the jade wrench in his hand, bowed his head in thought for a moment.
"A Tang, I might have to go back to the capital." Finally, Yin Wenzheng raised his head and said, "No matter how the fourth child got charged with this crime, it will save me a lot of trouble. I can't miss this opportunity, Lu If I take this opportunity to establish my prestige, many things will become easier... Then how could the fourth brother suddenly get involved with Qin Guo? I think he can get involved with Qin Guo You're not the only one who has a relationship... wait!"
Yin Wenzheng's pupils shrank rapidly, and he stood up abruptly.
Jiang Tangzhou was sitting there upright, with his back straight, and his face was always calm, and there was nothing special about it.
"A Tang, is it you?" Yin Wenzheng suddenly understood something, "The only close person around him who can have a relationship with Qin Guo is you..."
Jiang Tangzhou also nodded without hesitation, "It's me."
Yin Wenzheng felt that he was an idiot for a moment. It was only at this time that he realized such an obvious thing: "You had a close personal relationship with him for a while, and you were just preparing for today? Ah Tang, what are you doing?" A big game of chess."
Jiang Tangzhou lowered his eyes, stroked the rim of the cup with his thumb, and said calmly: "I said I would help you sit in that position, so naturally I will spare no effort. It's just..." Jiang Tangzhou was still unavoidably worried, after all, he didn't do it openly , is to use some small tricks.
But I was too embarrassed to ask such words, so I struggled in my heart.
"Just what?" Yin Wenzheng looked at him with sparkling eyes, thinking that his Atang was as good as he looked, with such a brain, there was hardly anyone smarter than him. It's a pity that Jiang Tangzhou couldn't see it.
"It's just..." Jiang Tangzhou sighed, and finally said it out, "I didn't do it openly. I deliberately got close to him at the beginning, and I spread rumors to create a false appearance. After I came to the border, I used Shuji to send him off. Give Lu Yanfeng several fake letters that I have a close relationship with the Fourth Prince... Ask Zheng, do you think I'm too...secret?"
"How could it be!" Yin Wenzheng embraced Jiang Tangzhou directly, and kissed the red mole on the back of his neck fondly, joy overflowing from his tone, "It's too late for me to like you, I've been thinking about it before. How can I let these two people fight each other so that I can be chosen without leaving any trace... Ah Tang, you have solved a big problem for me, how can I feel that you are secretive?"
Only then did Jiang Tangzhou feel truly relaxed.
Every time he sent a letter, Jiang Tangzhou had to do a long-term psychological construction, and the sense of guilt was always lingering in his heart. No matter what, Ling Yingchong treated him really well, with all sincerity.
In addition, he did not do this thing openly, so he was also afraid that Yin Wenzheng would think that he was too small.
After all, in front of the person I like, I always hope that I am perfect, and Jiang Tangzhou is also unavoidable.
"It is estimated that in a few days, the fourth brother will rebel." Yin Wenzheng rubbed Jiang Tangzhou's head, and said seriously, "A Tang, I must lead the troops back to the capital."
"Naturally." Jiang Tangzhou nodded and said, "During this period of time, many of the Hengjun have become your followers. If you lead them back, there won't be much problem."
"Do you want to go back with me?" Yin Wenzheng squeezed Jiang Tangzhou's earlobe, and asked, "Whether you choose to stay together or stay, I will take good care of you, you can rest assured about that."
It was rare for Jiang Tangzhou to show a tangled expression.
"Let me think about it..." Jiang Tangzhou didn't know whether he was getting along together or not.
He had to think about everything, from Yin Wenzheng's point of view, think about the best choice for him.
"Okay." Yin Wenzheng nodded heavily, "No matter what you choose, I can do it. Of course, if you are willing to go back with me, I will naturally be happier."
"Why?"
"Why do you say?" Yin Wenzheng smiled helplessly, "Of course it's because I have you by my side, I can even eat a few more bowls of meals. This time I go back, at least in January, see you in January." If I don't see my A-Tang, I will naturally think, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat, I don't know how hungry and thin I will be."
"How can it be so exaggerated?" Jiang Tangzhou didn't show it on the surface, but in his heart he was also happy because of Yin Wenzheng's words. After all, everyone wants to hear more words if they sound good.
"It's just that exaggerated." Yin Wenzheng put his arms around him and said, "With my A-Tang around, I am happy every day and every night. I am happy day and night."
"Okay." Jiang Tangzhou patted him on the head as if coaxing a child, "I promise you, even if I don't come back with you, I will often send you letters, isn't it okay?"
Yin Wenzheng was unhappy now: "Does that mean you don't plan to be with me anymore?"
"Isn't this still undecided?"
Although Yin Wenzheng accepted whether he would return or not, he still hoped that Jiang Tangzhou would be with him. After all, the two are now in a passionate relationship, and he wished he could hang on Jiang Tangzhou's arm all the time, stick himself in his body, and never separate from him for a second.
But to be honest, Yin Wenzheng also knew that it was actually the best choice for Jiang Tangzhou to stay at the border, and he couldn't stay in the barracks, so he had to find another place to stay temporarily.
After all, he had a special status, if he went back to the capital with him, it might cause even bigger troubles.
Yin Wenzheng was also worried about something happening to Jiang Tangzhou, so he finally reluctantly said, "Forget it, it's fine if you stay at the border. I'll leave Bigen and Ruojian to look after you, and nothing will happen."
"Let's talk about it tomorrow." Jiang Tangzhou nodded, but he was also very conflicted in his heart.
