Chapter 65
It is already July of the third year, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter day by day. Eight
★8 1 zくW .
CoM Yang Hao was originally a person who was afraid of heat. The heat made him feel irritated. The inner study room was simply unwilling to stay for a moment. Mu Tong advised him to move to Fairy Mountain to escape the heat. Yang Hao smiled and said, "Fairy Mountain is only a few miles away, and the mountain is not high, how can it be cool?" Mu Tong said, "If my subordinates dare to deceive the adults and be willing to take the crime, it is indeed a good place to escape the heat. Many wealthy families in the city have built Liyuan villas there."
After he said this, Yang Hao was moved. At dusk, he took Mu Tong, Zhang Lang and others to leave the city casually. As soon as the sky was dark, he arrived at the foot of Fairy Mountain and felt that this place was indeed cooler than in the city. Mu Tong led Yang Hao to a villa on the mountain. The new garden had just been built and some pillars had not been painted.
"This is Boss Ma's house. If the adults like it, they will ask him to come and stay for a few days."
Mu Tong looked like he was holding a big bag. Yang Hao said, "How can a gentleman win over what he loves? I heard that he is also a person who is afraid of heat. He has to change several sets of clothes for a meal." Yang Hao looked around and saw that the villas in other courtyards were crowded. He sighed with a pity: "We are late, and the good places have been occupied." Li Wei disagreed and said, "If the general doesn't like it, just ask them to demolish them."
Yang Hao ignored him and pointed to another mountain on the west side: "There seems no one there, I think we can build a villa there. Since ancient times, hermits have lived in isolation and far away from the world. How could they join in the fun with Boss Ma and the others?" Mu Tong praised: "The general has such a good eye. Build a villa there, looking at the lake in the north, with a lot of water and living water. It's such a good place."
Zhang Lang said: "That's strange. Why is no one taking such a good place?"
Mu Tong smiled and said, "If no one had stopped him, there would have been nowhere to be left now. Lord Ji took the lead in circling the forest and left it for the adults to use."
In fact, Mu Tong led Yang Hao here because of the instigation of Ji Hongtu, the mayor of Xiannvshan Town. Ji Hongtu built bridges and roads in Xiannvshan Town, digging canals to divert water, and urgently needed a lot of money. The little fund allocated from above was naturally not enough. Yang Hao promised to be the first to not charge any fees from merchants within three years.
Ji Hongtu is a person with a solution. Fairy Mountain next to Fairy Town is a famous summer resort in Fengzhou. Ji Hongtu ordered the entire mountain forest to be taken back to the government and then painted it into several small pieces for bidding for sale. Of course, there is a certain risk. In order to leave a way out for himself, Ji Hongtu colluded with Mu Tong to bring Yang Hao up the mountain. He hoped that Yang Hao could express his attitude on the issue of selling the land, or leave a sentence, and he would have a clear mind.
But Yang Hao said nothing, which disappointed Mu Tong. Ji Hongtu promised him to give him a villa after he was done. Mu Tong had already met a good place and waited for the success of the matter to be included. Unexpectedly, this episode happened. Mu Tong was not confused. He carefully read Yang Hao's words just now and concluded that Yang Hao did not want to be in this villa, but he thought there were too many people and was eye-catching. Mu Tong then tried his best to instigate Yang Hao to build a courtyard on the western peak of Fairy Mountain to escape the summer heat and relax here in his spare time.
Speaking of this, Mu Tong said explicitly: "If you build a villa here, the land price of Fairy Mountain will be thousands of miles a day, causing the wealthy businessmen to bleed, take out the gold and silver in their hands, and do some good deeds for the people in the town. This is also a chivalrous act of robbing the rich and helping the poor." Mu Tong's words finally touched Yang Hao. He immediately told Mu Tong to turn around and find Ji Hongtu to discuss the possibility of opening Fairy Mountain.
Yang Hao looked at the sparkling Fairy Lake in the distance, muttering something repeatedly. Mu Tong leaned closer and listened. It took a lot of effort to figure out that Yang Hao was mumbling two words: "Jianghu".
Jianghu, what Yang Hao has been saying is indeed the word Jianghu. These two words have too many meanings, and Yang Hao himself can't explain what the meaning of Jianghu he is saying at this moment. After Yang Hao stood up for a long time, he sighed and turned around and was about to leave. Mu Tong asked in a low voice:
"Uh, sir...that, does it need to be built?"
"Why keep looking for the best craftsmen and use the best materials? Oh, remember, it's confidential and no one can disclose it except Ji Hongtu Ji Town Mayor."
When Yang Hao returned to Feng'an, it was the end of You and the weather became cooler. He originally planned to take a bath in the Ying Hotel and then go to Qing'er to rest, but as soon as he entered the door, he was stopped by Guan Suo.
"Someone has been waiting for you for a long time."
"Who? Xiao Mingyue?"
Seeing Guan Suo's expression, Yang Hao knew that he was right. He snorted, "Let him wait, I don't care about seeing him now." Yang Hao took two steps and stopped, waved to Guan Suo, "I have something to discuss with you, come together."
Xiao Mingyue waited on Hou Jianshi and could not see Yang Hao on the left and right. Not only that, even Guansuo disappeared. The weather was hot, Hou Jianshi was like a steamer, and with something in his heart, Xiao Mingyue's forehead suddenly felt sweaty. He was about to go out for a walk, but was stopped by a guard: "It's dark, and the guests are not allowed to walk around without permission."
Xiao Mingyue was furious for a moment. Just as she was about to do it, she suddenly saw Guan Suo standing next to the West Corner Gate, waving to him. "Sir Xiao, please forgive me, a little bit of trouble has been delayed." Guan Suo said politely.
Xiao Mingyue looked at the bathrobe on his body and smiled awkwardly. Yang Hao did not meet under the eaves of the corridor as usual. He sat in the conference room, watching several books and offices placing ice buckets with interest.
"Xiao Mingyue is here." Guan Suo reminded in a low voice. Yang Hao turned around and his face was as cold as frost. He signaled Xiao Mingyue to take the seat and sent someone a bowl of herbal tea. Several books and offices saw that a guest had arrived, so they threw away the ice bucket and wanted to leave. Yang Hao said, "Why did you leave before the arrangement is done yet?" The books and offices looked at each other and were at a loss for a moment. As usual, they had to avoid it in such occasions. Guan Suo waved his hand, opened the door and let everyone go, and he closed the door and left.
"Is the general a little misunderstanding?"
"Misunderstanding?" Yang Hao sneered, "Do you think this is just a misunderstanding? I think this is simply betrayal?!"
Yang Hao threw the tea bowl with a "slap", jumped up and pointed at Xiao Mingyue's nose and scolded: "Teduce me to Shuofang, let me sink into a cage and die for life. You tell me a misunderstanding. I'll drag you out and kill you. Let me tell him again. This is also a misunderstanding. Will he believe it?"
Xiao Mingyue said calmly: "This matter is an imperial edict issued by the Empress Dowager, and the Grand Chief Manager has no choice but to do anything. The Grand Chief Manager sent me to Lingzhou just to protect you all the way. When you arrive in Chang'an, you will naturally have a way to excuse you."
Yang Hao sneered: "Exiled me to Jiannan and make a comeback in the future? Is this what you said to excuse me?"
Xiao Mingyue was shocked. How did Yang Hao know these secrets? Princess Li Qing of Yichun wanted to avenge Yang Kai and designed to harm Yang Hao. But she knew that Yang Hao was from Baoli Society and could not do this with her own strength. So before leaving Beijing, she reported the matter to the Empress Dowager Guo who summoned Xiao Mingyue into the palace and asked him to cooperate with Li Qing to capture Yang Hao.
Xiao Mingyue did not dare to conceal this matter, so after leaving the palace, he reported to Li Yan in all his heart. Li Yan carefully told Xiao Mingyue to do everything according to the imperial edict of Empress Dowager Guo, and revealed that after Yang Hao entered the capital, he tried to exonerate him and demoted him to Jiannan, so as to plant a seed in advance for regaining Jiannan in the future.
This secret was obtained by Mu Lanqing and others after much effort. Yang Hao was anxious and even let it go, and he secretly regretted it.
"This is a complete rumor. Why is the chief executive unsuccessful? It's just that this matter is too difficult..."
Yang Hao waved his hand, but he didn't want to listen to Xiao Mingyue's explanation. At best, he was a chess piece in the hands of Li Yan and others. Can the life, death, honor and disgrace of the chess piece be his own? As long as he still had to make that chess piece, it would not make much sense to argue.
"After saying that, what's wrong with coming to me this time?"
"Haha," Xiao Mingyue smiled awkwardly, "Two things. First, please give up your hands and let Your Highness Yichun go. The chief executive can't afford to offend her, so why can't you get along with her?"
"Hmph," Yang Hao smiled contemptuously, "I invited her to Fengzhou, not to be unable to get along with her. Your princess, who dares to get along with her? I invite her to come... It is for the summer vacation. It is hot in Lingzhou and the fairy mountain in the south of Feng'an City is breeze. I have ordered a palace for Your Highness to build. After the heat, I will send her back to Lingwu."
"There is really no place to be compatible with this matter?" Xiao Mingyue asked with a cold face.
Yang Hao shook his head firmly. Xiao Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief: "You took her to Fengzhou, which is equivalent to giving Qiu Shiliang an excuse. He will definitely launch an army to invade the north."
"Then let me do it!" Yang Hao shouted sternly, "Why am I afraid of a group of young master soldiers who are pampered and respected?"
"But don't forget that the Shence Army is the Imperial Guard of the Emperor. If he goes to war, he will be punished on behalf of God!"
"So what? Since ancient times, I have been successful and defeated by the king! It is reasonable for me to win. If I lose, I can be shot even if I lie down." Yang Hao said this, his face showed a ferocious look, "Spima Camp and Shen Ce Army will have this battle sooner or later. You are afraid, let me take action. I hope that someone will stab me in the back again."
Xiao Mingyue's face turned purple and red, but she couldn't walk away. She gritted her teeth and asked, "If you start a war with the Shen Ce Army, how sure are you?"
"If Wen Shimao takes action, he is only 50% sure, if it is someone else..."
Yang Hao didn't finish his words, but the confidence on his face had already told Xiao Mingyue that he was at least 70% to 80% sure.
"The Grand Master has something to do and fight with the Shen Ce Army. They should not be too embarrassed to fight them. Do not let anyone with ulterior motives take advantage of them."
It was almost the hour of Hai when Xiao Mingyue was sent away. At this time, there was a bright moon in the sky. After nightfall, the heat disappeared. Yang Hao went out in a single dress and didn't feel goose bumps. While walking in the courtyard, a noise suddenly came from the Xijiao Gate. It was Xiaoyu who quarreled with the guards again.
"...Madam, I really can't enter..." the guard begged.
"You get out of the way, and don't get out of the way, be careful I slap you twice!"
“…”
Yang Hao coughed heavily and sent the guard away with a little apology. The little fish face was as cold as frost, and asked fiercely: "What shameful things do you have? Why don't you let me in?"
"No, what place is this? Did you come here just by saying that?"
"You..." Xiaoyu felt really angry, so he softened. She held Yang Hao's arm and said coquettishly: "You have been back for a long time and have never been to others. Have you forgotten them?"
Xiaoyu said this with a smile, but Yang Hao felt guilty. It has been ten days since Shuofang returned to Feng'an. Apart from having a meal with them that night when he returned to the city, he was busy with all kinds of things and really ignored them. He patted Xiaoyu's arm: "I can't finish some troubles. I'm sorry to neglect you."
Xiaoyu felt Yang Hao's guilt. She stretched out a finger to block Yang Hao's mouth and prevented him from talking any further. Xiaoyu's cheeks flushed. She held Yang Hao's hand and said gently: "Since you sincerely regret it, you can't just say it. I want you to accompany me tonight." Yang Hao said: "But I have already greeted Qing'er." Xiaoyu said: "You haven't gone so late yet. She hasn't gone to bed early? Don't go and make people angry."
Xiaoyu grabbed Yang Hao's arm and shook it gently. Yang Hao was so entangled that he had no choice but to agree to spend the night with her. While crossing the back garden, a slightly sad sound of piano came from the pavilion beside the pool. Yang Hao stopped, listened for a while, and asked, "It's so late, who is in the backyard?"
Xiaoyu replied with a little unhappiness, "Who else can you do? Of course it's Lu Rui. Who else can run to feed mosquitoes in the middle of the night?" Yang Hao originally looked over, but when Xiaoyu looked unhappy, he had to give up this idea. But when he was about to walk away, the sound of the piano suddenly stopped suddenly, and Lu Rui chanted in a sad tone:
One mountain, two mountain.
The mountains are far away and the sky is high and the smoke is cold. The lovesickness maple leaf pill is red.
The chrysanthemums are blooming, and the chrysanthemums are gone.
The geese flew high and the people had not returned, and the wind and moon were idle.
A vortex of clouds and a shuttle of jade.
The shirt is thin and thin, and the two black snails are frowning lightly.
There is a lot of autumn wind and rain is like harmony.
There are three or two bananas outside the curtain, but what can people do if they grow up at night?
This is a lyrics by Li Yu, the late emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, more than a hundred years later. Yang Hao liked it very much. He once wrote it on the fan and gave it to Lu Rui. Lu Rui thought it was something Yang Hao wrote for her, so he cherished it very much. He only took it out and played with it on a moonlit night. Yang Hao felt very ashamed when he saw this. He asked himself that he had owe too much to Qing'er and the other two over the years. He insisted on forcing three young and romantic girls into resentful wives in the deep palace. How many lives can this sin be redeemed?
