翌日黄昏时分,太后的车辇轻装简行出了宫城,以探亲为由回到了娘家。Center the leaderstreetXiao Familymansion, the directly oppositeinLu Family, samegives the place that into the familyjuniors in Capitaltemporarily residewithLu Family, strictdoes not calculate the earnestprime ministermansion.
魁首街正中的萧家大宅,地处陆家的正对面,和陆家一样只是给入京的家族子弟暂住的地方,严格来说不算正儿八经的宰相府。Empress Dowagergot down the carriagebeforetwostone lions, leading the accompanyingpalace maidto enter the mansiongate, the statusreason, even ifshouldaskuncle'sfamilyelderalso to come outto saluteto greet.太后在两尊石狮子前下了马车,带着随行宫女进入府门,身份的缘故,哪怕是原本该叫叔伯的家族长辈也得出来行礼迎接。HoweverEmpress DowagertreasurenephewXiao Ting, does not know where at this timehid, under the entireyour family placecould not find the person.
不过太后的宝贝侄子萧庭,此时不知道躲到了哪里,全府上下都找不到人。Empress Dowagerthistimecomesnaturallynot to look for the Xiao Tingair vent, afterFamily Headhousewifesmalltalkseveral, thenarrived at the rearhouse, the prime ministerXiao Chuyangdwelling.太后这次过来自然不是找萧庭出气的,和当家主妇客套几句后,便来到了后方的住宅,宰相萧楚杨的住处。Xiao Familycrossesthreedynastygenerationsto be appointed prime minister, the positionaloofis not falsewith the world, buthas not looked likebusinessmanaristocracyto be like that extravagant, family educationextremelystrictreason, evenis a little simple. Your family placeat sixes and sevensmountainseatreasure, the school, dwellinghas not abandoned, place that then the remaininganythingdo not tour.萧家横贯三朝世代拜相,地位超然与世不假,但并没有像商贾王侯那般穷奢极欲,家教极严的缘故,甚至有点简朴。府上没有乱七八糟的山海奇珍,学堂、、住处一抛开,便不剩下什么游览的地方了。Xiao Chuyangofficerhas made one unable to pick up the problem, more than tenyears old thenhadsomereputations, becauseare the closely relatedsecond son'sreasons, sameare released externallywithotherXiao Familyjuniorsfor the officer, startto crawlfrom the floorslowlyupward.萧楚杨的官品一直让人挑不出毛病,十几岁便有了些名声,因为是嫡次子的缘故,和其他萧家子弟一样外放为官,从底层开始慢慢往上爬。At firstXiao Chuyangis only the county magistrate in Lingnannearbysmallplace, the barren mountains and untamed riverscannot escape the horse, Xiao Chuyangthenstomacherto strollin the high mountain ridge in district, meets the reason of medical skillon foot, carries a smallmedicine kitto treat an illnesstolacking in medical personnel and medicinepoorcommon peoplealong.
起初萧楚杨只是岭南附近一个小地方的县令,穷山恶水连马都跑不了,萧楚杨便徒步在县里的崇山峻岭中兜兜转转,会医术的缘故,随身还背着个小药箱给缺医少药的贫苦百姓治病。
The Xiao Familyjuniorsare many, surnamed Xiaowithmany, Xiao Chuyang , during the county magistrate, had never disclosedownbackground, has the subordinatehigher authoritiesnot to knowthisbarefootingcounty magistrate, unexpectedlyisHuainanXiao Clanson of first wife.萧家子弟很多,姓萧的就跟多了,萧楚杨当县令期间从未透露过自己的背景,连起直属上级都不知晓这个赤脚县令,竟然是淮南萧氏的嫡子。Afterward the Xiao Chuyangfather and eldest brothercontracted the stubborn illnessone after another, calledfromoutside areaXiao Chuyang, enteredCapitalto be the prime ministerdirectly, totoday.
后来萧楚杨的父亲和长兄相继得了顽疾,才把萧楚杨从外地叫回来,入京直接就当了宰相,一直到今天。
The courtyard of Xiao Chuyanghousingonly then the wivesandtwooldservants, mostroomsare emptying, the remainingrooms are varioustypes of booksanddossiers, the weathergradually the blackreason, only then the study roomis shininglights.萧楚杨居住的院落只有发妻和两个老仆人,大部分房间都空着,剩下的房间便是各种书籍、卷宗,天色渐黑的缘故,只有书房亮着一盏灯火。Empress Dowageris the Xiao Chuyangyoungestyounger sister, is very ripeto the courtyard, lets the accompanyingpalace maidis waitingafteroutside, thenaloneentersin the courtyard, knocks on a dooroutside the study room.太后是萧楚杨最小的妹妹,对院落很熟,让随行宫女在外面等着后,便独自进入院落之中,在书房外敲了敲门。„Second Brother?”
“二哥?”Quick, woreXiao Chuyang of meekgarmentto open the door, firstlifted a handritualaccording to the custom: „SeeEmpress Dowager.”Laterthenturned around, sat downafter the spaciousdesk, takes upto seehalf ofdossiers, the eyebrowhas not lifted:
很快,身着儒衫的萧楚杨打开了房门,先是按规矩抬手一礼:“参见太后。”之后便转身走了回去,在宽大书桌后坐下,拿起看到一半的卷宗,眉毛都没抬:„Howto come back? In the palacecan't tarry?”
“怎么又回来了?宫里呆不住?”Common saying‚eldest brotherforfather’, Empress Dowager and Xiao Chuyangagediffersdisparately, naturallya littlefearsas the younger sister. At this time the stancestraightentrystudy roomcloses the door, arrives by on the deskchairto sit down, hesitantmoment:
常言‘长兄为父’,太后与萧楚杨年龄相差悬殊,作为妹妹自然是有点怕的。此时姿态端正的进入书房把门关上,走到书桌旁的椅子上坐下,犹豫片刻:„Icome backto have a look......, few days agoYour MajestymustdecideTen Martial Leadersprobably, the martial artistitself/Bentakes advantage of a situationin a big way, variousgroup of Vassal Kinganddoorallpalmwith large army......”
“我就回来看看……嗯,前些日子圣上好像要定个十武魁,武人本就势大,各路藩王和将门皆手掌重兵……”„Individualbrave, is of little significance. Ten Martial Leadersnothing butcomfortingmarketplacemartial artist, all dayinsecretlyprivate battle, towrestle the reputationanythingmatterdaresto do, makesthemstruggleto the reputationwould rather.”
“个人勇武,无关大局。十武魁无非安抚市井习武之人罢了,整天在暗地里私斗,为了搏个名声什么事儿都敢做,倒不如给个名头让他们去争。”"Oh......"“哦……”Empress Dowagernods, pondered overslightly, said with a smilelightly: „Xu Bulingmartial artsis good, canarrangeto go in?”太后点了点头,稍微琢磨了下,轻笑道:“许不令武艺不错,能不能排进去?”Xiao Chuyangsaidlightly: „Eunuch JiaveryappreciatesXu Buling, wantsitsplatoonintenth. However the child and the Jianghuman (Han)Vassal Kingfight fordisgraced, setsdirectlyalsomakesmartial artistrefuse to accept. IfXu Bulinghasthisintent, makinghe himselfstrugglethen.”萧楚杨平淡道:“贾公公挺欣赏许不令,本想把其排在第十。不过藩王之子与江湖汉争抢有失身份,直接定下也让武人不服。许不令若是有此意,让他自己去争即可。”Empress Dowageris with smile on the face, makes the recollectionappearance: „InXu BulingLocking Dragon Gu, martial artstendid not saveone, wantsto struggleTen Martial Leadersto be a little difficult, does not know when cansolvepoisonously...... was right, Iremember before sixty-year cycle, puts downBaiyue, is the grandfatherthesemountain villagebandit camp that leads troopsto exterminate, Locking Dragon Guworldis rare, did the grandfatherhaveto stay behindat that time?”太后面带微笑,做出回想模样:“许不令中了锁龙蛊,武艺十不存一,想要争十武魁有点难,也不知什么时候能把毒解了……对了,我记得甲子前平百越,是祖父带兵剿灭的那些山寨匪寨,锁龙蛊世间罕见,祖父当时有没有留下一些?”Said that Empress Dowageris observing the Xiao Chuyangcomplexioncautiously.
说完太后小心翼翼的观察着萧楚杨的脸色。WhatmakesEmpress Dowagernot think, Xiao Chuyangcalmas always, crossedonepage the books, along withtastes:
只是让太后没想到的是,萧楚杨一如既往的波澜不惊,把书籍翻过一页,随口道:„At that timekeptone, is puttingonHuainan, the poisonous insect, has not collectedto raise the gu the method, keeps the uselessness.”
“当时留了一只,在淮南放着,毒虫罢了,没搜罗到养蛊的方法,留之无用。”„!!!”
“!!!”Empress Dowagereyefulstunned, gawkedquite a whilerecovered, slightlyrevealed the say/way of doubts:太后满眼错愕,愣了半天才回过神来,略显疑惑的道:„Un...... Xu Bulingis poisoned, the royal governmenthas also been checkingLocking Dragon Gu, will be unrelatedwithmyXiao Family?”
“嗯……许不令中了毒,朝廷也一直在查锁龙蛊,不会和我萧家有关吧?”Xiao Chuyangshakes the head: „Raisedinhome, the fatheralso, onJianghu the banditryruns amuck, foragainstbuckletoomanymanpower, has usedin secretseveraltimes. Until a Zhao Hongtwoyears of spring, royal governmentIron Eagle Hunting Deer, the expertturned out in full strength still could not do towishes the silkmountain. Cui Family of YouzhouwithmyXiao Familyis the family friendship of many generations, in the past and grandfatherwithwas a military strategist, knows that thismatter, thenrantometaking advantage ofLocking Dragon Gu, concerned about the face, Iwrote personallyto makeyour older sisterdeliverCui FamilyLocking Dragon Guat that time.”萧楚杨摇了摇头:“原本只是养在家中,爹还在的时候,江湖上匪患横行,为防折损太多人手,暗中动用过几次。直至昭鸿二年春,朝廷铁鹰猎鹿,高手倾巢而出仍然奈何不了祝绸山。幽州的崔家与我萧家是世交,当年和祖父同为军师,知道这件事,便跑来向我借锁龙蛊,碍于情面,当时我手书一封让你姐姐把锁龙蛊交与了崔家。”"Eh?"“啊?”In the Empress Dowagereyerevealsseveralpoints of serious: „Is difficultto be inadequateis the poison under Cui Family?”太后眼中露出几分严肃:“难不成是崔家下的毒?”Xiao Chuyangsighedonelightly: „After wishing the silkmountainsubmits to punishment, the road that onLocking Dragon Gutransports/fortunesby the accident/surprise, deathswornandLocking Dragon Gudisappears without a word, stillnot to have the news.”萧楚杨轻叹了一声:“祝绸山伏法后,把锁龙蛊运回来的路上遭了意外,死士和锁龙蛊音讯全无,至今没有消息。”Empress Dowagerhearing thisoneanxious: „Don't thatthismatterwhyIknow? IfLocking Dragon Gu in Xu Bulingself-Xiao Family, did not explainahead of timeclearly......”太后闻言一急:“那这事儿为什么连我都不知晓?许不令中的锁龙蛊若是出自我萧家,不提前解释清楚的话……”Xiao Chuyangcloses the books, shakes the head: „ When brokenBaiyue the officerscasualtiesare serious, underXiaozongEmperor the royal orderexterminatesthiskind of poison, the grandfatherstays behindarbitrarilyis equalto defy the military order, by the bystanderwas knowndestroyed the grandfatherlifetimevirtuenameinevitably.萧楚杨合上书本,摇了摇头:“破百越时将士伤亡惨重,孝宗皇帝下御令清剿此类毒物,祖父擅自留下等同于违抗军令,被外人得知必然毁了祖父一生贤名。MoreoverLocking Dragon Gunot justmyXiao Familyhas, Locking Dragon GulosesonbeforehandJianghuto haveseveralgus, but the case of death, raises the guinevitably the method. Whichbeing hardconclusionLocking Dragon Gu in Xu Bulingis, ahead of timesaiddamages the grandfathervirtuenamenot saying that but alsomade the troublefor no reason.
而且锁龙蛊并非只有我萧家有,锁龙蛊丢失之前江湖上发生过几次中蛊而死的案子,必然还有养蛊的法子。许不令中的锁龙蛊是哪一只难以定论,提前说出来损了祖父贤名不说,还凭白招惹是非。
The nextgrandfather and fatherstudiedhalf a lifetime, myXiao FamilythatLocking Dragon Gudoes not only have the medicineto be solvable, whatifinXu Buling is really myXiao FamilyLocking Dragon Gu, does not die is also a disabled person, even ifwill confesswill still vent anger, howhonestyouwill makefor the brother? ”
其次祖父和爹研究了半辈子,我萧家的那只锁龙蛊无药可解,若许不令中的真是我萧家的锁龙蛊,不死也是个废人,即便坦白也会被迁怒,你让为兄如何坦白?”In the Empress Dowagerheartsinks, hesitantmoment, inquired: „But is the knowledgeLocking Dragon Gu that whotribulations?”太后心中一沉,犹豫了片刻,询问道:“可知是谁劫的锁龙蛊?”Xiao Chuyangfrownsslightly, fingertaps the table, looked at the direction of imperial city, shakes the head:萧楚杨微微蹙眉,手指轻敲桌案,看了眼皇城的方向,又摇了摇头:„WhatifinXu BulingisXiao Family that involving is very big, Icould not completely understand that the situation...... this matterdo not leak, can only do harm.”
“如果许不令中的是萧家那只,牵扯恐怕很大,我也看不透局势……此事不要外传,有百害而无一利。”„IffinallychecksbyYour MajestyorXu Family......”
“若是最后被圣上或者许家查出来……”„Poisonis notmyXiao Family, evenfinallystilldrags downmyXiao Family, Ihave the law of dealing, watches changes quietlythen.”
“毒不是我萧家所下,即便最后把我萧家也拉下水,我自有应对之法,静观其变即可。”"Oh......"“哦……”Empress Dowagernods, so long as the poisonis notunderXiao Familygood, after chattingtwodaily family activities, thenset outto say goodbye the study room......太后点了点头,只要毒不是萧家下的就好,聊了两句家常后,便起身告辞出了书房……
