Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 550 549. Divorce
The aroma of Li Zhen's steamed vegetables and the crisp melody of the disciple's memorization formed a morning song with the smell of fireworks, which made everyone in the small courtyard shout one after another.

Soon, a pot of steamed vegetables came out of the pan, and a bowl of sauce and vinegar sauce was prepared and poured on top of the steamed vegetables. Two chopsticks flew up and down, breaking up the steaming steamed radish vegetables like noodles.

One big bowl per person at the end.

Everyone sat around the stone table and began to enjoy the food from the Bodhi Temple.

And when Li Zhen was eating and giving them popular science about what kind of wild vegetables are delicious to do so...

Luoyang.

East Palace.

Although Yang Guang asked Yang Tong to oversee the country after he went to the Jianghuai River, according to the etiquette system, even if Yang Tong handled government affairs, he could not be in the imperial palace, but in his own east palace.

At this moment, in the Hongzheng Hall, the main hall of the East Palace, two waves of officials had already quarreled.

One side is headed by Wai Lang Weixuan, a member of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

On the other hand, Chen Zhiling, the censor of the imperial censor, was the leader.

The two sides are not giving in to each other. Although they didn't scold the street, the tit-for-tat in the words have already made the smell of gunpowder in the court stronger:

"Master Chen, the tens of thousands of rebels in Hedong are all people who helped Wu Duan'er to abuse the emperor when he was alive. Under the laws of the Sui Dynasty, what will happen to those who conspire? I'm not as good as you in learning!"

"According to what Lord Wei said, it is indeed so. But the law is nothing more than human feelings! Now His Highness is kind-hearted, and does not want the east of the river to be a thousand miles away in autumn and winter. It just so happens that Yu Cui discovered a pool of dragon fire. The old gentleman visualized alchemy for His Majesty Ask for medicine, this dragon fire must be built as soon as possible. Do special things in special times, not to mention this is His Highness's benevolence, to give Hedong Shengmin a chance. Why not!"

"It's a joke, how can a country be ruled out of lawlessness? Jurisprudence is the power of the king, and the emperor's crimes are equal to that of the common people! Not to mention these rebels who rebelled against the king!"

"you……"

The two sides were at each other's throats, and there was a quarrel in this Hongzheng Palace.

But the instigator, that is, Yang Tong sitting at the top, remained silent, as if the cause of the quarrel between the two sides was not caused by him.

Although it can’t be said to be fun, but it’s true that after he finished speaking, he had an idea, he wanted to temporarily appease the tens of thousands of refugees in the east of the river, and let them do their crimes and make meritorious deeds to build tall buildings for Laojun. After he said it, he completely disappeared. up.

Both Lu Chu, who was standing in front of the Hongzheng Hall, and Cui Zhongfang, the old minister of the Ministry of Rites who was already drooping beside him, seemed to acquiesce in their quarrel.

Even though the quarrel between these two waves of people is getting louder and louder, it seems that they are all choking out the real fire, and when they are about to make a move...

All of a sudden, Cui Zhongfang, who had offered the strategy of destroying the Northern Qi, was reused by Emperor Wen. Even though he was old now, Cui Zhongfang, who was still firmly seated as Minister of the Ministry of Rites, suddenly took a step forward:
"Your Highness."

As soon as his old voice spoke, Wei Xuan and Chen Zhiling immediately fell silent as if they had received some signal.

Only the old voice could be heard from the Hongzheng Hall:

"This matter is of great importance. According to the old minister, it needs to be discussed in the long run."

What he meant was simple.

"Everyone" is thinking about it.

That's it for today.

When Yang Tong heard it, he seemed to be waiting for Cui Zhongfang's words, nodded and said:

"Alright, then all the ministers should go back and think about it. Sanchao...oh yes. Cui Aiqing..."

He seemed to suddenly remember something, and asked Cui Zhongfang:

"I just remember, a woman from your family just married a concubine from Zuo Cheng's family a few days ago?"

"..."

Cui Zhong's face was calm, and he looked calm:
"Exactly."

But Lu Chu's beard suddenly trembled.

I heard Yang Tong ask curiously;
"Are you married?"

"Returning to Your Highness, the marriage is just settled, and the auspicious date has not been chosen yet."

"Oh~"

Yang Tong nodded:
"In this case, when you get married, remember to inform Gu, and Gu Hao will also send a gift for the emperor's grandfather. I heard that the son of the Lu family is very talented and educated, and the two families should be better. Since they are a family, That doesn't make sense."

"..."

This time, Cui Zhongfang's seemingly bewildered eyes finally lifted up.

After glancing at Yang Tong, he respectfully said:
"Yes."

"Well, leave the court, Zuo Cheng stay."

With that said, he got up and walked towards the harem.

After he left, Baiguan was ready to leave.

And Wei Xuan, who was blowing his beard and staring at Chen Zhiling just now, walked up to the aged Cui Zhongfang, and said respectfully:
"Teacher, disciple help you go back."

"Ah."

Cui Zhongfang let him support him, and walked towards the outside of Hongzheng Hall step by step with somewhat tired steps.

When passing by Lu Chu, who also did not move, Lu Chu bowed to show respect.

But Cui Zhongfang didn't seem to see it, and left directly.

In the corner, after seeing this scene, a servant silently began to pack up.

……

Inside the bedroom.

Yang Tong, who was changing under the service of two maids, raised his eyebrows:
"Can you see clearly?"

"Returning to Your Highness, the slaves have seen it clearly. Zuo Cheng respectfully saluted Cui Shangshu, but Cui Shangshu ignored him. He left with Master Wei's support."

"...Well, let's go down."

"Yes."

The servant bowed and retreated, and Yang Tong, who had changed into a light yellow robe, turned his head to look at Hong Ying:

"how?"

"..."

Hongying frowned slightly, thought about it, and said respectfully:
"Your Highness, I can only think... Cui Shangshu seems to be dissatisfied with Zuo Cheng."

"Well, is there anything else?"

Yang Tong had some anticipation in his eyes, as if he really wanted to hear what Hongying had to say.

But Hongying frowned and thought for a while, then shook her head:

"I'm stupid..."

"……Ugh."

He sighed:
"Didn't I tell you all about it? You have to think about it. Think about it carefully. Why did Shangshu Cui say that this matter should be discussed in the long run, but after asking about Cui Lu's marriage, he suddenly became dissatisfied. .”

"...Because Cui Shangshu felt that Zuo Cheng used His Highness to urge the marriage?"

"..."

The corner of Yang Tong's mouth twitched, and his eyes fell on the woman with three cinnabar flame marks on her eyebrows...

He sighed helplessly:
"You, you... It doesn't matter. You may not be able to get in touch with these old foxes in Pegasus City on weekdays, so it's normal to be unsure."

"Your Highness forgive me, I'm stupid..."

"It's okay."

With a wave of his hand, he screened off two more maids.

He walked to the table and took a sip of the tea with the right temperature and taste, and then said slowly:
"Gu just said that the thing about the river east this morning was thought up by him with kindness in his heart. Therefore, Cui Shangshu thought it was a strategy that Gu had come up with in his own mind. If there is an accident, this matter may not be mentioned again in the future.

But when he was alone in the dynasty, he asked Zuo Cheng about the marriage between the Cui family and the Lu family.You may not know that the daughter of the Cui family ran away from home a few days ago. Because of this, the Lu family was disgraced, but at least there is still room for redemption.

But Gu brought it up again today, seemingly caring, but actually telling Cui Zhongfang that you have swept away the face of the Lu family.But leaving Zuo Cheng alone today is nothing more than two reasons in the eyes of others.First, I just want to talk to the trustworthy Zuo Cheng alone about the thing about Hedong and get his opinion.The second is to tell other people that although Yu Kuang belongs to the Cui family's territory, he did not intend to discuss this matter with the Cui family, but found the Lu family.

With these two points, Guwait issued an edict directly in the past two days to appease the refugees, then in the eyes of outsiders, it must have something to do with Zuo Cheng's suggestion.And the reason why the Lu family was disgraced by mentioning him just now is the same as telling the Cui family that you owe the Lu family yourself.It's your fault first.

And this plan was originally thought up by Zuo Cheng, now that Gu is favoring the Lu family, Zuo Cheng will receive Gu's kindness.Although today when Zuo Cheng leaves the palace for a while, the Cui family will definitely come to him and say...but once the edict comes out, the Cui family will no longer have the initiative to build Yu Kuan.The Cui family got some benefits from the Lu family because of their love and reason.

While the Lu family gained a temporary advantage, it damaged the relationship with the Cui family.The Cui family has suffered two dumb losses this time, one is the dragon fire, and the other is that they show weakness. From the perspective of outsiders, they will think that the Lu family is stronger than the Cui family... In this way, there is a gap between the two families. With Shanggu's deliberate support, the Cui family and the Lu family will never be so close again, do you understand? "

"..."

As Yang Tong almost broke apart the shattered explanation, Hongying finally showed an expression of enlightenment.

Immediately afterwards, there was a touch of worship:
"Your Highness's wisdom is simply that Crouching Dragon is alive, and the world is not as good as it! I admire you!"

"Hahaha~"

Yang Tong let out a hearty laugh again.

After putting down the teacup, he said:
"Let's go and see Zuo Cheng. This matter is not as easy as it says, we have to strike while the iron is hot."

"Yes."

Hongying responded, and after following Yang Tong for two steps, she suddenly asked:

"Your Highness, even so, at least our goal has been achieved, right?"

"of course."

Yang Tong nodded, with a faint disdain in his eyes:

"That's all they can do."
