After resigning, I switched to fortune-telling

Chapter 87

Xie Tangru didn't ask about the specific content of the conversation between Shang Qingyao and Wei Guogong, but when Wei Guogong saw him later, he couldn't help looking at the little bastard with "you're done", which made Xie Shizi feel hairy.

-

His father won't suddenly be stupid, right?

Mr. Wei Guogong ate three bowls of rice for dinner that day, letting Mr. Xie know that he is still as powerful as a tiger, full of energy.After eating and drinking, Wei Guogong remembered that there was a little bastard beside him. He thought for a long time and said vaguely: "Our Majesty is no easier to fool than the late emperor."

Compared with the mediocre and absurd first emperor, Shang Qingyao is much better.He is undoubtedly a wise monarch, smart, sharp-eyed, magnanimous, and able to know people and make good use of courteous corporals. He has all the qualities of a qualified king, and he does not have the usual suspicion of emperors, which seems to be an excellent thing.But to be the courtier and bedside person of this emperor is much more difficult than that of the first emperor.

In case the bastard regrets wanting to run away one day, can Shang Qingyao let him run away?

That's the real thing—under the whole world, could it be the king's land.

Wei Guogong suddenly came and worried for a long time, and then relieved himself, and his children and grandchildren have their own blessings.Anyway, the bastard will live longer than him, so there is nothing to worry about when he is dead.

As soon as Wei Guogong wanted to let go, he barely passed the test of his parents' orders.Shen Yu also woke up on the other side.

All the injuries on his body have healed, and he looks like a gentle and elegant young man again, but his face is pale.This was the first time Xie Tangru saw Shen Yu after the night of the rebellion, and he couldn't help thinking, no wonder everyone in the Guifang clan is extremely arrogant, and they really have some skills after all.

For example, "resurrecting from the dead", if you can do this, if you meet an emperor like the late emperor, you will not have to worry about high officials and rich salary.

Xie Tangru looked at him calmly, and a few thoughts quickly passed in his mind.Shen Yu also let him look at him, recovering from serious injuries, he has no strength in his body, his trachea was pierced when he spoke, and his voice was broken: "Long time no see, thank you son. It seems that son and your majesty get along well, but we are in vain. "

When that arrow was shot, Shen Yu knew that his plan had failed.The relationship between Xie Tangru and Shang Qingyao was no longer something he could shake.

As soon as he finished speaking, he coughed several times, "I'm already a prisoner, a dying person, I don't know why the prince Xie came to see me today?"

"Yu Sheng is dead." He calmly watched as Shen Yu's face cracked and turned into an unbelievable shock, "I am very curious, why did Yu Sheng die but you didn't die."

"........."

Shen Yu moved his lips and covered his eyes in silence.

"I do not know I do not know."

He murmured and repeated this sentence, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his throat.

Xie Tangru believed that he really didn't know, if Shen Yu knew, he would try every means to give Yu Sheng the chance to live.

He frowned lightly, not interested in asking any more questions.He came here only for this doubt, but Shen Yu obviously didn't know the answer, and the embroiderers would dig up other things.

The Embroidery Envoy's interrogation skills were superb, and it was just at the moment when Shen Yu learned that Yu Sheng was dead and was about to collapse.It didn't take long to dig out all the things Shen Yu knew.

Including the dignitaries that the Guifang clan had secretly befriended over the years, several strongholds of the Guifang clan in Beijing, and after the death of the governor of Yuzhou, Yu Sheng entered the capital deliberately pretending to be pitiful to attract Xie Tangru's eyes.

It's no small matter.

Yu Sheng was dead. For Shen Yu, these news had no meaning to continue to keep them.Telling them can also save yourself a little bit of suffering.

Among them is a message that people cannot ignore.

The entire territory of Lingnan is already under the control of the Guifang clan, and there are already [-] soldiers in Lingnan, who are only waiting for orders and will soon go north to the capital.

Raise troops to rebel.

The pawns manipulated by the Guifang clan——Prince Abandoned and Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry were both imprisoned that night.But the ghost family's plan did not stop because of the broken pieces.

Xie Tangru never expected that there would be such a big surprise in the future: "Fifty thousand troops are really tricky. But what is even more puzzling is, where did these fifty thousand troops come from?"

There are many mountains and forests in the south of the Five Ridges, and the land is sparsely populated. There may not be fifty thousand young and middle-aged people in the whole territory.How did the Guifang clan obtain such a huge army without leaking any information?

If there are a few rebels among the provincial governors, coupled with the methods of the Guifang clan, and the reinforcements from all over the country are blocked and it is too late for King Qin, the [-] army is really enough to point the sword at Yuejing.

Shang Qingyao's expression was solemn, and he tapped on the table with his fingers.He also couldn't figure out where the Lingnan army came from.

"...The first emperor cooperated with the Guifang clan to fight for the throne. According to Yu Sheng, the late emperor did not fulfill his promise to the Guifang clan. With the style of the Guifang clan, if they tried their best to fetch water from a bamboo basket, it would be in vain. The first emperor's throne will definitely not be smooth, and I suspect that the first emperor gave them other benefits."

"Do you think it has something to do with Lingnan's army?"

"Yes." Xie Tangru nodded without hesitation, "There is no need for Yu Sheng to lie about this matter. After the cooperation ended, the late emperor must have paid the corresponding price." The price is to get out of the whole body, so the first emperor will not be particularly afraid of the Guifang clan in the future.

The [-] troops in Lingnan suddenly appeared without anyone noticing. If they were dispatched from other state capitals, they would not be able to hide it. They could only be in Lingnan early in the morning.But the governor of Lingnan never reported the change back to the capital.

"Who is the current governor of Lingnan?" Xie Tangru raised his eyes and asked.

"It's from the local clan in Lingnan." Shang Qingyao thought back for a moment, "The officials in Lingnan are still the group appointed by the late emperor." Lingnan is located in a remote area, and the local clan's power is rampant. Shang Qingyao hasn't spared time yet. clean them up.

"The actual power in Lingnan may have fallen into the hands of the Guifang clan long ago." Xie Tangru said in a low voice, "That's why we didn't know about the changes in Lingnan so late."

"I ordered people to keep an eye on Lingnan's movements before." Shang Qingyao pondered, "But now it seems that the news from Lingnan may not be true."

The two looked at each other tacitly, and there was no need to say anything else. Now they only need to consider how to deal with the situation in Lingnan.If you want to win an army of [-] without bloodshed, it is still quite difficult.

When the old emperor was in power, the government and the public were in a mess. Now that the new emperor is on the throne, he should rest and recuperate, and it is not appropriate to go to war again.

"No matter what, first arrest all the members of the Guifang clan in Beijing." Xie Tangru let out a long breath, "Ask clearly what the Guifang clan wants to do."

rebellion?Xie Tangru didn't think so.Even Yu Sheng, who single-handedly manipulated the abolished prince to plot rebellion, seems to have no attachment to the power of the imperial capital.

"The embroidered clothes envoy has been strictly searching and arresting." Shang Qingyao nodded, agreeing with Xie Tangru's opinion.

As a sharp knife in the hands of the emperor, the embroidered clothes envoy moved extremely quickly, and before the Guifang clan resisted, they were all arrested and imprisoned, except for one person.

-

Yu Ran, who appeared in the capital openly and aboveboard as the daughter of the Marquis of Changning.

But she is still the one who knows the most among these people.

Song Xuan, who couldn't even catch a weak girl, felt that he had lost his face, and dug three feet to dig her out.

On the second day after the embroidered clothes envoy went all out to search for Yu Ran's whereabouts, she voluntarily appeared outside the palace, begging to see Xie Tangru.

Yu Ran was wearing a pure white dress with golden lace, the style was very different from that of the Central Plains, and there were many small gold and silver ornaments hanging on the clothes.The silver jewelry on the forehead swayed softly with the footsteps.

"Thank you, son."

She crossed her arms in front of her chest, and performed a courtesy that was not that of a noble lady in the imperial capital, but probably that of the Guifang clan.After doing all this, she lowered her head and called out "Your Majesty" as if she saw Shang Qingyao.

Xie Tangru stood on the steps, looking down at her from above.His eyes were calm and unwavering.

Yu Ran smiled slightly, met his gaze and opened her lips: "I came here today by order."

Shang Qingyao shook Xie Tangru's hand, and his loose and complicated sleeves overlapped to hide their intimate movements.Xie Tang shook his hand back, clasped his fingers tightly, and casually responded to Yu Ran: "Order? Whose order?"

"The prince should have already guessed it - naturally it is your grandfather."

A smile spread on Yu Ran's lips, as if she was telling some great news.

"Oh?" Xie Tangru glanced lightly at her delicate and beautiful face, "My grandfather, do you mean the former head of the Lingnan Jin family?"

"Your Majesty is really smart." Yu Ran let out a sigh of relief, and she didn't feel surprised when she heard Xie Tangru's rhetorical question.But... Thinking of the order that was specially given, Yu Ran decided, "But the answer to this question is not important. I came here today to invite the crown prince back to Lingnan."

"Back to Lingnan? How can we talk about the word "Hui?" Xie Tangru smiled contemptuously, and still had a casual attitude towards the Guifang clan.Yu Ran was a little uncertain about his true emotions at the moment, so she couldn't help but look at Shang Qingyao, who had no intention of speaking at all, and then looked away, smiling calmly: "You are the direct blood of the Guifang clan, Lingnan is naturally It's also your homeland. Besides, even if you don't care about being connected by blood, you still have to think about it for His Majesty—haven't you two already known about the existence of the [-] Lingnan army?"

"Are you threatening me?" The smile on Xie Tangru's lips deepened, as if he had heard something extremely funny, his smile couldn't help showing a mocking smile.

Yu Ran shook her head: "Of course I don't have the guts. What I said today was just following orders. Mr. Xie, maybe you don't know your grandfather well, but everyone in the Guifang clan knows that he is a disregarded man." Consequences, a madman who does what he wants, and more importantly, he never gives up until he achieves his goals."

She has no intention of being an enemy of Xie Tangru.

"Besides, if it's really based on my own standpoint, I don't want you to go back. Yu Sheng is dead. If you don't return to Lingnan, I will be the most reasonable next patriarch in blood." In order to prevent Yu Sheng from taking Xie Tangru back to Lingnan, Yu Ran also used a lot of tricks secretly. From a certain point of view, Yu Ran thought that her and Xie Tangru's interests were the same.

Anyway, Xie Tangru doesn't want to go back either?

Now that Yu Sheng is gone, if Xie Tang has Shang Qingyao, it is impossible for Xie Tang to stay in Lingnan for a long time.The position of patriarch she wanted would naturally fall into her hands.So Yu Ran didn't care that Xie Tangru had returned to Lingnan, and was willing to tell the truth.

Seeing that Xie Tangru's expression remained the same, Yu Ran continued, "Besides, we hope to bring back all the Guifang clansmen detained by His Majesty in the capital to Lingnan—the one who said that His Majesty once owed him a favor and took these people's money." Life is coming."

"I didn't know this happened?" Shang Qingyao said coldly.

"I don't know about that." Yu Ran's face remained unchanged, she was just a speaker, "I only know that the man said that His Majesty owed him a period of karma to get everything he wanted. His request, Not too much."

Hearing this, Xie Tangru and Shang Qingyao looked at each other calmly.
