Chapter 94 Explanation
“We had a close relationship with Pengcheng in Xuzhou. He saved me and Fenghuang. Today’s assassination in Tiantai Temple was my repayment of his kindness, but at the same time, I also accepted his kindness. "Xiao Jinyu explained.
Accepting his kindness was to use his identity to cover up her identity as Xie Zhen. This was not a planned situation in advance, but just a temporary improvisation.
Xiao Xian understood the meaning of the words and stopped asking any more questions.
At this time, Xiao Jinyu said again: "As for joining the officialdom, I haven't thought about joining the officialdom as Xie Zhen so early. Uncle Xian, as long as you join the officialdom in Nanchen, it is enough for me."
As he said that, he changed the topic, "But Chen Xu is still afraid of our Xiao family, so even if he becomes an official, this path is still not easy."
"I know." Xiao Xian replied.
"However, even if he is afraid of our Xiao family, he has to use me, a member of the Xiao family. Nowadays, most of the people in the court are people who live in the corpse position. Although Chen Xu wants to promote the poor family, for hundreds of years, the central secretaries have been Controlled by an aristocratic family, it is difficult for poor students to study, and there are very few talented people, otherwise he would not have let Xu Shangshu hold this elegant talk gathering."
Holding informal gatherings has also been a way to select talents since the Wei and Jin Dynasties. In the past, only sons of aristocratic families were eligible to participate, but this time, Xu Ling made it clear that all scholars and common people could participate. This shows that Chen Xu also wanted to pass This time, Qingtan Yaji came to seek the use of a talented scholar from a poor family. Unfortunately, Chen Xu was probably disappointed by her arrival this time.
"But Ayu, you don't actually discriminate against poor families. Otherwise, you wouldn't say that someone with a high status may not necessarily be virtuous, and someone with a humble status may not necessarily be stupid."
"Of course, didn't my father come from a poor family?"
Suddenly mentioning her father Han Zigao, a wry smile appeared on Xiao Jinyu's lips, and she added, "Chen Xu wants to use poor families to fight against aristocratic families to achieve the purpose of checks and balances. This is his selfish intention as an emperor, but it is not completely wrong.
The world is not for one person, only the virtuous can occupy it. Similarly, those who hold important positions should also be occupied by capable people. Therefore, no matter whether they are from a noble family or from a poor family, as long as they have both ability and virtue, they can protect the people. , then it is worthy of people’s admiration!
This one has nothing to do with identity! "
Xiao Xian couldn't help but be moved when he heard this, his eyes were smiling, as if he was both pleased and moved.
"I originally thought you hated the Chen royal family, but it turns out that's not the case. Ayu, your mind is so broad that even men like me can't match it!"
At this time, Xiao Jinyu fell silent and shook her head.
"No, of course there is hatred. When it comes to hatred, no one hates it more than me... I'm just talking about the matter!"
After a pause, she looked at Xiao Xianda again, "So I need to show my uncle to become an official. I want to find out who is the person behind Princess Yunyin?"
It’s not that she didn’t hear what Princess Yunyin said to Xiao Jian that day in Xiao Yun’s Yixiang Courtyard. What kind of thing required her, a princess of the Chen family, to kill the Xiao family’s heirs at all costs to cover it up!
Or how many people are related to the original owner’s mother Xiao Luan?
In Xiao Xian's confusion, Xiao Jinyu said again: "I will give Uncle Xian something else tomorrow, and we can discuss it."
…
This night, although there was an undercurrent, it was different from the tranquility in the embassy or Xiao's residence. The lights in the Shiheung Palace were always bright, and the music and singing continued. Since the prince transformed from a hostage to a prince, he has been poor. Extremely extravagant and lustful, enjoying life extremely, not sleeping at night and unable to wake up during the day.
Just after having a banquet with a group of scribes writing poems for half a night, someone came to report at midnight: "Then Xie Zhen has not come out since he entered the embassy with King Lanling. During this time, Lanling Prince Ling also asked Mrs. Wei, the proprietress of Xinghua Yanyu Building, to go to the embassy, but she only stayed for nearly half an hour before she came out. The slaves followed Mrs. Wei for a while, and on the way they met the lady who came from the north. The two envoys were Cui Heng of the Boling Cui family and Li Mi of the Li family of Zhaojun. Li Mi chatted with Madam Wei for a few words, and then Madam Wei left, and I didn't catch up with her anymore! "
After hearing this, Chen Shuling opened his eyes slightly, half drunk and half awake, and spilled a bottle of wine on the floor.
"Stupid, I asked you to follow that Xie Zhen and keep an eye on Prince Lanling. Why are you going to keep an eye on an old lady, the proprietress of Xinghua Yanyu Tower?"
Under his shout, the two men fell to their knees with a thud in fright. "Yes, I know I'm wrong. Now I'll go and watch the embassy!"
"Go, go, I don't want to kill anyone today! Get out of here!"
With a shout, the two men immediately rolled out of the hall with their heads in their hands.
Chen Shuling staggered up to Chen Bogu, grabbed his collar and said, "You all say that my father dotes on me, but why would he rather let that cowardly and incompetent Chen Shubao be the crown prince of the East Palace instead of me? Chen Shubao... He is just a scholar who loves to write poems and compose music. How can he be like a man of heaven? How can he be as wise and wise as his father?
I am the one who is most like my father. She was just born a few hours later than him, so why is she not destined to be the crown prince?"
Chen Bogu quickly covered his mouth and whispered, "Your Majesty, stop talking. Be careful that walls have ears!"
"What are you afraid of? This is my palace, Prince Shiheung. Whoever dares to betray me will suffer a terrible death for his whole family!"
Chen Bogu looked embarrassed and did not dare to disobey Chen Shuling, but he also did not want others to hear his drunken remarks, so he ordered the guards guarding the door of the palace to disperse the guests who were still in the palace, and dragged Chen Shuling in. In the bedroom, I also asked a beautiful girl to serve.
…
"Prince, don't worry, the little lady has arrived home safely a long time ago, and she may have fallen asleep now!"
Seeing Gao Changgong not feeling sleepy at all while looking at the night stars, Lu Yu urged and comforted him again and again.
"But what happened to you on the mountain? Why did my subordinates hear someone talking nonsense about your masculinity, Prince? And why does that little lady dress like that?"
Lu Yu's curiosity aroused and he asked again persistently.
Gao Changgong glanced at him and had no intention of answering. He just said: "You will know tomorrow!"
During this talk gathering, her name Xie Zhen will definitely become famous all over the world, and every word she said and everything she did at the gathering will be passed down as a biography.
The Xie family of Chen County will also become famous again because of her. This top-notch noble family that has been glorious for three hundred years since the Jin Dynasty was almost destroyed during the Hou Jing Rebellion and was even about to be forgotten. Now it will also enter the world again. people's vision.
But whether she is Xie Zhen or Xiao Jinyu, I'm afraid this girl will never be peaceful again!
Lu Yu smiled and did not dare to ask any more questions. At this moment, there was a rapid knock on the door.
"Come in!"
King Lanling gave an order, and a guard walked in and reported:
"Prince, those two people have already confessed. One of the two assassins is indeed from Zhou, and the other is from Qi!"
"Qi Ren?" Lu Yu was very surprised.
"Yes, and this Qi man is also a spy from our Qi court who is hiding in Nanchen. This time he actually colluded with the Zhou envoy to murder the prince. It is really abominable!" Zhao Wu said angrily.
Now there are espionage organizations from other countries in the Three Kingdoms, and when Emperor Wenxuan Gao Yang was still alive, he sent a large number of spies to the Southern Chen and Northern Zhou lands, among which the number of spies placed in the Northern Zhou region was even larger.
The Northern Zhou Dynasty was not far behind the Northern Qi Dynasty. The battle between the two sides regarding spies could be described as a bloody and bloody battle, even worse than a battlefield with real swords and guns.
"So, who sent this spy?" Gao Changgong asked again.
Zhao Wusurong was silent for a moment and replied:
"Liu Taozhi!"
