第336章 死则死尔(2 / 2)

盛唐风月 府天 0 字 2021-09-24

“死则死尔,到这个份上,你还指望我能活命?”

姜皎凄然一笑,面上随即露出了决然之色:“圣人之心有多狠,你们都不知道。否则当年赞襄如刘幽求,怎会说死就死?知心如张说,怎会说贬就贬?还有那些曾经从旁辅佐进言的人,死了多少,你们兴许都忘了。我不过一闲散之人,却自以为知己,活该有今次劫难!记住,启程之后每日该走多少就走多少,但绝不要多走。不要再找什么没用的大夫,到哪里撑不住了,就立时命人往东都报丧!”

姜度几乎不敢相信自己的耳朵,可面对姜皎那眼神,他竟一个字都说不出来。而李林甫虽则入仕以来一直都是名义上的官衔,从来不曾经历过实职,可心志却坚毅得多,倒吸一口气后便恍然大悟,当即义无反顾点了点头:“舅舅的话我明白了,此事便交给我!虽则如今人人避姜家如蛇蝎,但倘若那时候……宇文融我却有几分把握能够说动,更何况源翁虽不太靠得住,单单报丧他总不至于还推三阻四!”

听到姜皎和李林甫舅甥竟是把话说得这般赤裸裸的,姜度只觉得整个人如堕冰窖。可须臾,他就觉得手上传来了巨大的力道,再看父亲时,他便发现姜皎的脸已经涨得通红:“四郎,哥奴比你年长,也比你更明白世事,你日后凡事多多请教他。此次启程,你与我同行。若到我不测之时,万一陛下真的能够还存着体恤怜悯之心,容你递柩回乡,你切记找几个文采好的人,如果能请动杜十九郎最好,为我写一篇墓志铭。不用过多美言,但书过,不言功。记住,一定要如此!还有,后宫惠妃处,不要再往来了。”

事到临头父亲方才想到最后一条,姜度不禁心中异常黯然,良久方才点了点头。而李林甫听到舅舅让姜度凡事多请教自己,不禁谦逊了两句,但见姜皎显然无心听这些,他方才立刻满口答应照顾舅母和表弟们。等到姜皎再次吩咐了好些话之后,他眼看其仿佛精疲力竭,正要请其好生养息,却不想姜皎突然低声说道:“四郎先出去,我有事要吩咐你表兄。”

眼看姜度愕然离开,李林甫方才就势在榻前跪了下来,低声问道:“舅舅有何事要吩咐我?”

“哥奴,四郎也好,姜氏其他子弟也好,没有一个及得上你能屈能伸,精明强干。惠妃经此一击,无论宫里宫外全都损耗巨大,姜家已经不成了,但你却还能给惠妃雪中送炭。记住,不要如我和你舅母当初那般张扬,事情做得隐秘些……”姜皎张口对李林甫低声嘱咐了几个不为人知的名字,见外甥目露异彩重复了一遍,他方才欣慰地笑道,“我是不该走了幸臣的路子,否则也不至于如此。你比舅舅有出息得多,日后四郎他们,我就托付给你了。”

昔日贵幸时,宫廷之中的宫女、名马、珍奇……但凡姜皎看中之物,李隆基都会毫不吝惜地下赐,就连宫中草木亦是如此。然而如今一朝见罪杖刑流配,当一辆马车十数家人从姜宅徐徐出来,经由城门黯然离开东都之际,却是连送行的人都几乎不得见。熟识相厚的人家大多早一日便送了程仪,也有少数怕事的人也不见,礼也没有,陪伴在马车之侧的姜度走在官道上,只觉得心中满满当当说不清是愤怒还是失望。

当耳畔传来了一阵疾驰的马蹄声时,他也丝毫没有回头,直到他听见有人扯开喉咙嚷嚷了一声:“姜四!”

愕然回头的他看见两匹马几乎并行疾驰了过来,身后还跟着几个从人。随着人趋近到只有一二十步远,他一下子就认出崔俭玄身后的那人是谁,一惊过后也来不及吩咐什么,连忙拨马迎了上去。相见之际,他忍不住苦笑道:“别人顶多送了程仪就躲了,你们两个就不怕给家中招祸!”

“怕什么!之前马球场都被河南府使人查封叫停,窦十郎直接把一应都转给了我,再加上你这些,如今我是独家经营一人做主,我怕个鸟?”崔俭玄没好气地冷哼了一声,这才看着同样靠边停下的马车,低声问道,“楚国公还好么?”

“大约坚持不到钦州。”尽管这话从自己这个做儿子的人口中说出来,难免悲恸黯然,但姜度面对这两个特意来送行的人,还是说了实话,“能否支撑到出了河南府境内,都说不准。”

“那你还……”

崔俭玄大吃一惊,正要嚷嚷的时候,却被杜士仪一个手势拦住。策马上前一步的杜士仪瞥了一眼那辆装饰简朴的马车,他只需稍稍想象就知道坐在马车上会有多颠簸,再加上五十开外的姜皎经那六十杖之后必然伤情严重,他立时明白姜度所言不虚。想想姜皎此次也没有上书再请宽限抑或其他宽宥,他隐隐之中便猜到了这位楚国公的决断,心中不禁叹了一口气。

“楚国公真是一片苦心……姜四,此去路上你自己小心些。若有什么事情,尽管送信到观德坊来。只可惜,崔十一和舍妹的婚礼,你是来不了了。”

“看我这一昏头,竟是忘了你是要成婚的人了!唉,连你的傧相都做不成!”姜度懊恼地拍了拍脑袋,见崔俭玄欲言又止,他便笑道,“只不过你比新娘子还漂亮,回头可别让人笑话了!我眼下也没什么可送你当贺礼的,这块玉佩你收着!”

扯下腰间一块玉佩不由分说地塞到崔俭玄手中,他便意味深长地说道:“等日后我回来,再用合适的贺礼换了这块玉佩!”
