75. Another year when it snows
Mosha's shopkeeper committed suicide by taking poison in front of the chief manager of Baoli Society. Before his death, he even wanted to poison the chief manager. With such vicious thoughts, even the people of the Dawa Society could not bear it. With their full cooperation, one of the seven swords of Baoli Society, Ma Xiao, who stayed in Dongdu, mobilized the guards of the Dongdu Palace to pull out the killer organization that had harmed the Tang Dynasty for more than ten years.
They also wanted to take the Haotian Trading Company into trouble, and Yang Hao said, "I have shares on Haotian."
This matter was abandoned, but the struggle to eradicate the remnants of Mosha lasted for another month. The city of Luoyang was full of war.
Yang Hao suddenly remembered what the woman said when she was dying: Qing’s father will not die, and Lu will not be over.
The task of clearing the remnants of Mosha was handed over to Li Yueshan. Yang Hao believed that he could do a good job, just as Liu Mian finally quelled the Zelu rebellion.
By the time the yellow leaves fell, Yang Hao, the Grand Marshal of the Three Towns, who had been recovering from the Dongdu for half a year, finally sang a triumphant song and announced that the army would return to the court today. Liu Zhen committed suicide by taking poison in the defeat. This is a great joy. As the commander-in-chief who suppressed the rebellion, he does have too many things to celebrate.
On the day he left Luoyang, Wu Chenglong had a small hat and a green dress, led a thin horse, and a stupid servant, waiting to see Yang Hao off at the 18lipu outside the city. Yang Hao ordered a large group of people to station, stepped forward alone, bowed and asked with a smile: "You want to learn from Tao Zhu Gong, and you want to learn from Zhang Liuhou."
Wu Chenglong laughed and scolded: "Why are you a rough man showing off? I'm leaving, I'll say a little bit to you."
Yang Hao said: "I'm sorry, you have finally managed to get through it. Don't you feel like you're losing money when you leave now?"
Wu Chenglong said: "Mosha is skin, Haotian is hair. Where will the skin be attached if there is no hair left? I am willing to give up, but I am reluctant to give up."
He gave a cup of tea, led the thin horse, and floated away with his servant. Yang Hao asked him loudly: "When will we meet again?"
Wu Chenglong replied: "See you when you should meet.
Yang Hao was in good mood on the way back to Beijing, and was seriously injured and was inconvenient to hike. The various banquets set up by officials along the way could be naturally rejected. The smart and calculating Lu Ruren now did not accept a gift. She believed that the emperor would reward him on his merits and do so, and the income would be better than the gifts he had taken risks.
Yang Hao told her that she might as well open her mind. It has always been a taboo to shock the master. If we make such a great contribution this time, we must leave some handle in the hands of the emperor to make him feel at ease.
If you collect, just collect gold and silver, don’t be afraid of it. If he dares to give it, I will collect it.
Li Yan gave the general who returned from the Eastern Expedition the courtesy. When Yang Hao got off the car, he issued an order to restore his title and marry Li Qing, who had already restored his name to the princess, to him. The gift of the gift is enviable.
But apart from official business, Li Yan was unwilling to say something to Yang Hao. Yang Hao took the initiative to ask for a meeting several times, but was blocked by Li Haogu. The reason was the same every time: Your Majesty is talking about immortals and Taoism with all the gods.
The emperor believed in the Three Pure Land, which is well-known to the world. It is no more important to practice the supreme Taoism with all the gods than to be a leisure king. After many encounters walls, Yang Hao became more depressed. Dongfang Lan advised him to go out and walk around. He agreed and put on casual clothes and took Dongfang Lan and Zhang Yingying out of the side door, lingering in various musical shops in the east and west cities.
Occasionally, he would visit his fiancée at Xingqing Palace. However, the princess who had recovered her name suddenly became reserved and would not meet him at any time. She only sent Jin Taoyin and Tang Yu to deal with it.
Yang Hao felt that running to Xingqing Palace like this would be really unconventional, so he gritted his teeth and refused to come to the door again.
He didn't go, but Li Qing came to the door. She walked in with Lu Rui in plain clothes. Lu Rui was so charming to this future princess that she could not help. It seemed that Li Qing also enjoyed her attentiveness. She set the date in Lu Rui's boudoir as Lu Ru Ren invited.
Jin Taoyin and Tang Yu guarded the door like a vindictive guardian, and beat Lu Rui out. Li Qing's reserve was immediately thrown away. She tiptoed, hooked Yang Hao's neck, and gave him a fragrant kiss. Yang Hao was not satisfied and wanted to be more arrogant, but she stopped him. She said, "You are so frivolous, who in this mansion will still obey me in the future."
Yang Hao looked at her in surprise, as if he was looking at a stranger. Li Qing said angrily: "What are you looking at? Don't you know me anymore?" Yang Hao smiled and said: "This sentence still has a bit of old shadow. What are you busy with when you hide from me?"
Li Qing said: "What can I do? I'm busy with growing my head. It's not that I don't want to see you, but that the Empress Dowager won't let me see you. It's because she's inconvenient for people to come and go in the palace."
Yang Hao asked alertly: "Who are they?"
Li Qing said: "Whoever pays attention to this? There are all kinds of people. There are many old men and women, as well as young men, nobles, and some small officials. They are mysterious every time."
After saying that, she widened her eyes and asked, "Didn't you say you have a lot of eyes and ears? Don't you know these?"
Yang Hao held her shoulder and said, "My God, no matter how many I hear, I dare not monitor the Empress Dowager. Do I still want to marry you?"
Li Qing saw a fire in his eyes and said unbearably: "Please bear it for a few more days, it's not yours then."
She tiptoed and kissed Yang Hao again, then pulled out of the greenhouse, wrapped her cloak while walking, and disappeared into the night.
Li Qing seemed unintentional, but in fact she was intentional. She revealed an important news to Yang Hao that Yuanheshe, who died without being stale, was not idle, and they were stepping up their activities.
The undercurrent is surging! The four societies all support the unification of the five societies, but behind their backs, they are in conflict with the Baoli societies.
Very well, everything was as expected. It seemed that it was time to give the former chief executive a few words. When Yang Hao thought of dealing with the old-fashioned chief executive in the future, he sighed reluctantly.
It was so lucky that he turned around and was about to hit him again.
On a gloomy early winter afternoon, Yang Hao was drinking tea in a tea shop and chatting with a few business travelers who had been in the neighborhood. Dr. Tea came over and said, "This guest has invited you. A guest from Dongdu wants to invite you to order some tea, but I don't know if you want to enjoy it."
Yang Hao said, "Is there such a good thing?" The tea guests said, "Someone has tea, go quickly, go quickly." Yang Hao then got up and followed Dr. Tea to the stairs and entered a elegant house. There was only one person inside, and he stood in front of the window. Yang Hao only took a look and laughed, "Didn't someone say he wanted to learn from Fan Li to sail to become Tao Zhugong? What's the place where right and wrong are you here today?"
The man smiled and said, "Even if he learns from Fan Li, he is still useless without Xi Shi."
The person who came was Wu Chenglong, who shaved off his horoscope and accumulated a kind-hearted Danhu.
Yang Hao said: "Which girl did you like in this city? Tell me, I'll come to protect the media."
Wu Chenglong said, "I asked for it knowingly." Yang Hao took the joke, sighed, and said, "It's too late, she is implicated by Meng Qiong, and she is not free at all now, so it's very difficult."
Wu Chenglong said: "Is it difficult? I have nothing to do with you. You just need to bring me a word for me and I will do the rest." Yang Hao asked back: "Is it just a sentence? If there is no token, do you think she is willing to believe me."
Wu Chenglong wiped a golden ring from his finger and handed it to Yang Hao, saying, "Seeing it is like seeing me." Yang Hao put the ring on his hand and said, "It's rare to come here, how about asking you to drink a pot of tea."
Wu Chenglong looked out the window and said leisurely: "I have time, you are afraid you will not have time."
Yang Hao looked down through the window, and a man came on a horse in the wind and snow, walking in a hurry, just like a dressed in blue.
Yi Yang said nervously as soon as he saw Yang Hao, "What happened to Mrs. Qin."
Yang Hao asked the reason and said, "I might as well pick her up."
Today is the birthday of Wang Cairen in the palace. The wife of the capital went to the palace to worship as usual. Qing'er and Lu Rui entered the palace early in the morning. After worshiping Wang Cairen, Lu Rui came back. Qing'er was invited by Meng Cairen, saying that she wanted to make some clothes for the prince who was about to be born. Qing'er took Yi Yang to Meng Cairen. Somehow, when the meal was being held at noon, Meng Cairen was furious. She slapped Qing'er on the face and ordered her to be detained.
Yi Yang had to report back to the mansion and reported that Lu Rui was not in the mansion and Yang Hao was nowhere to be seen. After several housekeepers discussed, they each changed into plain clothes and went out to search. By chance, Yi Yang found it first.
Yang Hao returned to the mansion and changed his official uniform and entered the palace. He wanted to see Li Yan but it was not difficult to see Meng Yao. When he went in, he saw Wang Fu'er also there. After seeing the etiquette, Wang Fu'er was about to leave. Yang Hao said, "Talented people walk slowly, I have a few words to say to Talent people." Wang Fu'er said, "If you don't have to say to me, I won't listen."
Still leaving.
Meng Yao beat the palace servant out and asked Yang Hao with tears in his eyes: "You killed her."
Yang Hao said: "It was not me who killed her, she committed suicide."
Meng Yao sighed: "She took it upon herself, and I have advised her to let go."
Yang Hao said: "It's very chaotic. Some people are dissatisfied with the unification of the five societies and fan the flames everywhere. Don't guess yourself, so as not to be trapped by others."
Meng Yao sneered: "Your words are really like your master."
Yang Hao said: "You should take care of yourself too. I will help you get out if you have the chance."
Meng Yao snorted: "Thank you, I'm afraid you can't protect yourself."
Yang Hao said: "You have a plan to pass through the wall, and I have a ladder to get on the house. I have already thought of a way out."
He took the opportunity of drinking tea and deliberately shine the golden ring for Meng Yao. Meng Yao remained silent. When Yang Hao said goodbye to the palace, the stone steps were slippery, and he almost fell down accidentally. Meng Yao said in a pun: "The wind and snow are heavy, so pay attention to the old waist." Yang Hao smiled and said, "It's impossible to flash, it's not enough to flash, the golden days are just beginning."
When Qing'er came out of the palace, snowflakes floated again in the sky. Seeing that he kept his head down, Qing'er thought he hated her and dared not say a word. Yang Hao lifted the curtain and looked at the lead-gray sky, sighed leisurely: "I've been there for another year without realizing it."
He put Qing'er's hand in his palm and kneaded it carefully, and asked her: "What are you going to give birth to me next year?"
Qing'er said shyly: "What can you give birth to? Can you give birth to a flea?"
Yang Hao said, "You really have a flea, I want it too." He suddenly said sadly: "Recently, I often feel overwhelmed, and I feel stuffy when I sleep at night. Do you think my deadline is here?"
Qing'er was startled and hurriedly pressed his mouth and said, "You should not let go of wealth and honor, and you should not say anything depressed. What kind of chest tightness is that you have lived indulgent life. Good days are long, so why are you anxious?"
Yang Hao turned his worries into joy, nodded repeatedly and said, "What you said is that the spring and autumn are in full swing, and you have no reason to say such despairing words. Okay, let's talk about what you gave birth to me after the New Year."
Qing'er said shyly: "I won't give birth anymore. Look, my belly is loose and it's a piece of rag. You should keep your energy to harm your new wife."
Yang Hao smiled and said, "You Ms. Qin, you can't tell me. You are a lady from a noble family tomorrow, and you are cautious and vicious."
While talking, she went to scratch her armpits. The couple were playing, and suddenly heard the sound of bamboo tubes.
Dongdongdongdong...dongdongdong...dongdong...dongdongdong...dongdongdongdong...dongdongdong...
Some people are not only knocking on the bamboo tubes in a hurry, but also making a sound like a drum, but also like beating a wooden fish.
Yang Hao poked his head out and saw a beggar sleeping in the snow under the tree on the street. He was covered with a broken reed mat, and a broken bowl in front of him, begging for a bamboo tube with his hand.
Yang Hao asked to stop the car and asked Dongfang Lan to give him the money. Yi Yang on the side said, "He would not be lucky to spend money. He is a blind man. If he has money, he will not be allowed to snatch it away. I think it's better to give him some food."
Qing'er said, "What you say is reasonable, go buy some food and send it to him. He is old, buy some softer ones."
The carriage was still moving forward. Seeing that Yang Hao was in a good mood, Qing'er dared to ask: "Don't ask why I was slapped by Meng Cairen."
Yang Hao said: "I have implicated you. In Luoyang, I smashed her brother's store, bullying the market, and selling fake goods."
"Don't hide it from me, she told me all. Do you know where she told me? I'm in the place where I'm imprisoned." Qing'er took a deep breath, "She told me: She was originally a cousin and now she has become a cousin. Although your official position is big, she can't take advantage of it. The emperor doesn't like her and thinks she is annoying. She wants to kill her several times. Because Wang Cairen protects her, she avoids death. She also said that now she can't see outsiders. When talking to others, there are always people eavesdropping, so she came up with this bad strategy. She asked me to bring you a word: The elixir that the emperor took is poisonous and there is not much time left."
The two of them were thinking about their own thoughts, and they were speechless, and the carriage was so quiet that they were afraid of people.
Turning over the street, Chongrenfang was the queen. After becoming the prince, Yang Hao opened a gate opposite the street outside the Jingfengmen of the Imperial City, which was very convenient to enter and exit.
Yang Hao suddenly spoke, "This snow is far less beautiful than the grassland."
