Changle Floating Life

Ye Jianqing was dragged up from the bed by Lan Shan, the girl's hands trembled, and candle oil dripped on his face, almost disfiguring him.When Ye Jianqing heard about Shen Wei first, his heart skipped a beat.Did the leader of Xindao really know that this person was behind the scenes?

When he heard that Gu Su had kidnapped the prisoners from Dali Temple that night, he felt even more inconceivable: "How could Zuo Fengmian let them go?" Based on his understanding of Zuo Fengmian, this man is so jealous that there is no room for a grain of sand in his eyes. .

Ye Jianqing looked panic-stricken, and wanted to get out of bed to put on his shoes, but he tripped himself and fell to the ground.Lan Shan relit the candle, but saw him kneeling on the ground covering his mouth with his hands, coughing profusely.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Ye Jianqing reached out and wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth: "It's just a rush, the blood doesn't return to the meridians."

Lan Shan was so frightened that his face turned white and his lips were blue, he said: "The leader will send a message, don't worry too much."

They didn't wait for Gu Su's news, they waited for Duan Wang to come back first.

Before King Duan returned to Beijing, Pei Zhan had already summoned Minister Zaifu to discuss the current situation.The emperor cried bitterly and accused the prince and King Ning of their misconduct and rebellion, and the intention of abolishing the crown prince and setting up a new one was already obvious.

Zhongshu Ling Pei Ju is a member of the royal family, nicknamed "Ambiguous Hand".This person occupies a high position, has always been ambiguous, and is extremely afraid of getting into trouble.As soon as he heard the emperor asking himself, he habitually rubbed the armrest of the chair, and said vaguely: "Abolishing the establishment is a major matter, I hope your majesty will think deeply, so that there will be no future troubles."

Saying is tantamount to not saying.It's better to fart loudly than this.

The imperial envoy doctor Li Che was born in Qingliu, and he couldn't understand the prince's dandyism. He said with emotion: "Previously, the Guo imperial envoy has already played. The deputy is the most important in the world. When the time is flat, the eldest son should be the first, and the country is in trouble. It is easy to maintain, but difficult to keep, the owner does not use the world's great weapons to privately love his love."

It seems that he is advocating Duan Wang's supremacy.

Everyone in Shang Shusheng was a little hesitant.Pei Zhan named Zhu Kan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials.Zhu Shangshu was stubborn and wanted to try his best to turn the tide. He kowtowed first and pleaded guilty: "The prince is a man of nature, and he can be good with him, and he can be evil with him. Since ancient times, he has seldom put his son in danger. The fault of the East Palace is known to the Lord. That's right, ministers and others are incompetent, so the Supreme Being worries about labor..."

Li Che couldn't understand his slavish appearance, so he said coldly: "Master Zhu is not a servant of Chunfang, why is he so worried and so eager to plead guilty?" King Gongduan ascended the throne, is this trying to separate the father and son of the Tian family?" Li Che raised his head and said: "I only said that Shi Pingyi should be the first son, and the country should be credited for the country's disaster. Master Zhu is insinuating that the country's crisis is at the head, do you want to slander the dynasty? "

At this time, we are in the "Kangping prosperous age" praised by everyone.Li Che, a sharp-edged writer, is used to catching people's words, but Zhu Kan told him to choke on a word.

Pei Zhan sighed, and asked several honorable ministers.Among the crowd, someone who knew a little about the whole story of last year's suburban sacrificial ceremony, understood that the prince lost his love, and the Lord had the heart to dethrone him, so he said, "Prince Duan is filial, fraternal, respectful and thrifty, and he is like the supreme one."Those who are confused and ignorant of world affairs say, "May your Majesty promote the kindness of your father, take into account the righteousness of nature, and watch the consequences."

Once the affairs of the world have come to this point, the general trend is gone.Pei Zhaoye doesn't need to be in the capital, everyone expects him, and his status has been determined.

On the first day of December, King Duan escorted the rebel Yuan Huaike and his party to Beijing.The criminal was first detained in the large prison of the Ministry of Punishment. Pei Zhaoye asked because he didn't see Jing Zhaoyin Zuo Fengmian.People from the Ministry of Criminal Justice said that Zuo Fengmian was thinking about his mistakes behind closed doors because he accidentally escaped Gu Tingrang from Dali Temple.

It took Pei Zhaoye a while to finally figure out what happened in the capital during the two months he left.He felt that since Gu Tingrang was framed and innocent, the emperor would not commit a serious crime to Zuo Fengmian.After he handed over to the Ministry of Punishment, he entered the palace to meet the emperor.

"The one who caresses me will be the one who abused me?" Pei Zhan squinted at him and said, "You are so brave, you dare to write that in the memorial!"

"Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it." Pei Zhaoye was unmoved, and said loudly, "Is it the intention of the people's parents to close the warehouse and not provide relief? My son is bold enough to open the Changping warehouse..."

"Forget it." Pei Zhan waved his hand impatiently, "Forgive your innocence. Then why did Yuan Huaike turn against him?"

Pei Zhaoye's eyes darkened, and he said in a low voice, "Because of his son's death. How can Lianzi not be a husband?"

Hearing this sentence, Pei Zhan seemed to feel touched, and heaved a long sigh.There were only father and son in Yanbo Hall, and Pei Zhan seldom confessed: "It was my fault. After the chaos in the suburbs, I couldn't bear to kill him. I thought about making him King of Shu in a few years. The soldiers of Shu are weak, In the future, if he can submit to you, you can keep him alive, but if he cannot submit to you, it will be very easy for you to take him."

The emperor actually harbored such thoughts, Pei Zhaoye looked at him in disbelief, feeling unbearably bitter in his heart.

The world only knows that there are many struggles among the descendants and concubines, but they don't know that the balance of power is compelling, and even brothers and sisters cannot invade without one another.The prince's arrival at this point has a lot to do with the emperor's doting and hesitation.Pei Zhan gave hope to the prince again and again, and that useless extrajudicial benevolence urged him to deviate further and further from the right path.

As the predecessors said: The way of the monarch and his ministers is gradually replaced by mausoleums.Favor him with position, extreme position will make him humble, obedience with kindness, exhaustion of kindness will make him slow.

Pei Zhan called for Eunuch Gao, who presented a brocade-wrapped box to King Duan.Pei Zhaoye opened it and saw that it was a jade bi, he was stunned for a while, and then remembered that it came from the bottom of Xiaojing Lake in Huiliu Villa.Pei Zhan ordered him to return the Changle Jade Bi to Anning Hou Ye Jianqing.

Pei Zhaoye recalled Gu Tingrang's expression of ecstasy when he found the jade bi in the back room, and asked in puzzlement, "Father, what is the origin of this jade bi?"

Pei Zhan pointed at Eunuch Gao and said, "You are considered an old man of three dynasties, so please tell him."

Eunuch Gao said one by one.It turned out that the jade bi was a token given by Emperor Taizong to Pei Qing, Marquis of Changle.During the rebellion in the suburbs, there was a jade belt from the East Palace, which was inlaid with eight white jade squares, only one was missing, and the missing one was the Changle Jade Bi.At that time, among the nine gates in the capital, Nanxun Gate in the south was originally called Changle Gate.

When Pei Zhaoye heard this, he suddenly raised his head and said, "Is it true about the jade belt and the tiger talisman?!"

Pei Zhan smiled wryly, nodded and said: "Once there is an accident, if there is no emperor's letter, the gate of the city can only be opened if the nine tiger talismans are collected. As soon as Marquis Changle leaves, the jade bibill will be passed to Princess Zhenguo, and the jade belt will be handed over to Princess Zhen. Emperor Taizong Ren passed it on to the late emperor. Princess Zhen Guo has been guarding this jade bi for the imperial court, guarding half of the country of the Great Zhou..."

Is it "keeping" or "according to"?Pei Zhaoye shuddered.Princess Zhenguo wields such power, so why not make people fearful and suspicious? !

"After I ascended the throne, I changed the admirals of the Nine Sects three or four times in more than ten years, thinking that Pei Yongzhen's old stories had already been replaced in pieces. I thought that the jade belt would never come in handy. I was negligent." I got it, and someone stole it. On the night of the winter solstice, I completely lost my face."

It turns out that this is the inside story of the Winter Solstice Rebellion.The emperor was kept outside the city, so the handbook could not be delivered to the city.And within the Nine Gates, there are still close friends of Princess Zhen Guo.At this time, the only thing that can open the city gate is the forgotten jade belt.

If Ye Jianqing, Zuo Fengmian and others hadn't attacked from inside and outside to force open the Nanxun Gate, the consequences would have been disastrous.

Princess Zhen Guo is really good, she can still have such an influence after death.No wonder people say that the real name is the name after death.

Pei Zhan sighed deeply: "When Pei Yongzhen became a feudal clan 20 years ago, your mother asked her what she planned for the Marquis of Anning in the future. Pei Yongzhen said that every child is born with his own rations, can he eat the royal rations?" It depends on whether he has the ability. I have tried the Marquis of An Ning for you, and he still knows the basics. The emperor envoys his ministers with courtesy, and his ministers serve the emperor with loyalty. You take this jade biscuit to explain the truth to him. Under the contract of monarch and minister, he will definitely be used by you wholeheartedly."

"Father..." Pei Zhaoye had mixed feelings in his heart. He looked at the jade disc that was used to show kindness, and felt as cold as iron: "When a monarch and a minister meet, treat him as a scholar of the country..."

Pei Zhan sneered a few times: "Don't think I don't know about your childish thoughts. Can't you see him clearly? He's hot on the outside and cold on the inside, mercilessly, it's as if Pei Yongzhen is alive."

On the night of the winter solstice, he was able to forcibly open the Nanxun Gate and easily cut off the relationship with Princess Zhenguo's Mansion.The night Pei Zhan asked him to ghostwrite the imperial edict to abolish the crown prince, he said no to the merit of life that countless people coveted.Such a person is either loyal or treacherous.

"Monarchs and ministers have no confidants. Those who embrace power will always be lonely. The way of heaven is far away, and the way of humanity is far away. You can experience it yourself."

The emperor seemed to be tired, collapsed on the dragon chair, and waved his hand to make King Duan step back.

Holding a brocade box in his arms, Pei Zhaoye walked out of Miyagi in a daze.

The emperor made it clear today that he wanted to appoint him as a reserve. He should have been happy, but he felt that the burden on his shoulders was even heavier, and he felt a little overwhelmed.At this time, the only person he could think of and share with was Ye Jianqing.

We haven't seen each other for two months, and the Hou Mansion feels more and more bleak after winter.Walking into the backyard where Ye Jianqing always lived, he smelled a pungent smell of medicine.Pei Zhaoye happened to meet Xiao Lanshan who came out with a spit basin, so he called her to stop.Lan Shan covered the pool of blood on the bottom of the basin with a handkerchief, pretending to be innocent, and said, "Your Majesty has been suffering from a cold for a long time, and the house is full of sickness, you should not go in."

Pei Zhaoye would not listen to her, and walked into the inner room in a few steps.Ye Jianqing was indeed seriously ill, her cheeks were sunken, her description was dry, and there was not even a waiter by the bedside. "What nonsense!" Pei Zhaoye immediately rolled up the quilt, wrapped him up a few times, and prepared to be moved to Duanwang's mansion with him.

After such a toss, Ye Jianqing woke up instead, opened a pair of dull eyes, and said: "Master, you are back."

Pei Zhaoye paused, looked at Xiao Lanshan who came in, and said murderously: "Who is he calling?"

Xiao Lanshan shrank his neck, feeling that seventeen or eighteen blood holes had been poked on his body, and said, "It's an old gambler from our Four Seas Gambling Shop. Before the young master was ill, we had been pushing Pai Gow."

She made up such a lie that she couldn't believe it.Pei Zhaoye had no intention of entangled with her: "Take some clothes that Lord Hou often wears, and follow me to Duanwang's Mansion." Xiao Lanshan was in a hurry, jumping around, not knowing what to do.Fortunately, Ye Jianqing was already awake, and raised his hand to push back: "I'm not going anywhere. When will the prince come back?"

"It's today." Pei Zhaoye helped him up, and briefly recounted the situation along the way.He said that Wu Xiaocun made the first contribution: "Although this man's virtue is shallow, he has the talent of Wang Zuo." Ye Jianqing replied triumphantly: "The talent is not Wang Zuo, how dare you promise someone else!"

Pei Zhaoye remembered that he forcibly stuffed this person into himself a few months ago, how did he think that Master Wu would be so useful?Ye Jianqing saw that Pei Zhaoye was laughing happily, so he felt relieved, and said softly: "You have seen His Majesty, you are going to move to Yanzuo Palace soon, right?"

Yanzuo Palace is the East Palace.While gathering his hair, Pei Zhaoye said calmly: "I want to live outside the palace all the time. I don't know if the Marquis welcomes me or not? I'm planning to move my bedding here."

"Well, stay for one tael of gold for one night." Ye Jianqing wanted to put on a serious face, but couldn't help but hugged his arm and smiled, "I'm so happy. The day of my death is like the year of my life..."

"You..." Pei Zhaoye didn't have time to cover his mouth, his face changed from sunny to cloudy: "You have nothing to hide, you are young, you can't die."

Ye Jianqing bent his eyes and smiled, looking very affectionate.Pei Zhaoye thought of the sentence he said before, "When the fake is true, the real is also fake, and if there is nothing, there is something and there is nothing", and he just looked at him madly.

When King Duan returned to the capital, he rushed to curry favor with those who had eyesight, and they all went to the palace.Pei Zhaoye turned around and hid in the Anning Hou Mansion, where he came out of nowhere.

On the fifth day after Pei Zhaoye came back, the emperor successively issued the "Decree to Abolish the Crown Prince and Establish Industry", "The Edict to Depose King Ning and Shouye", and "The Edict to Establish King Duan as the Crown Prince".Within three days, King Duan resigned three times, and on the fourth day he obeyed the decree and thanked him.

In extraordinary times, keep everything simple.Pei Zhaoye became the crown prince without even the grand ceremony for establishing the crown prince.Under Pei Zhan's suggestion, he took the imperial edict to Zongzheng Temple and read it in public in front of that person.

The common man Pei Jianye seemed to have expected this day, and calmly accepted the imperial edict.Pei Zhaoye retreated from the crowd, looked at his former brother, and then thought of the tragic death of King Ning, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

"After all, you won." Pei Jianye clapped his hands and laughed, and sat down on the chair heartlessly: "Do you still remember when our brothers were separated?"

Pei Zhaoye felt sad, and said in a low voice: "We used to have a good time in Yunzhou, and you didn't want to talk to me because you became the prince." He once thought that the position of the monarch and his ministers was determined, and his elder brother deliberately distanced himself to put on airs.It was later discovered that the seat of the prince did not give the elder brother any more sense of security. The two seemed to be standing in different trenches, and the peaceful childhood was gone forever.

"If you want to take it, you must give it first." Pei Jianye played with the corner of the commoner clothes, and said lightly: "You understand this sentence. The crown prince is yours, and Shouye and I can't compete with you."

"I didn't understand what you said." Pei Zhaoye was confused.

Pei Jianye looked at him viciously and said, "Eighteen years ago, before my father ascended the throne, you were the crown prince who was supposed to be established. It was he who personally promised Princess Zhenguo that he would make you the crown prince, and Pei Yongzhen made him the crown prince. As a result, he broke his promise as soon as he ascended the throne. , and appointed the eldest son as the heir, Pei Yongzhen returned to Jinling disappointed."

Pei Zhaoye's heart was beating wildly, and he interrupted him: "What nonsense! How can I be... how do you know?" , why make him a reserve?

Pei Jianye snorted and said, "Of course I eavesdropped. I also told you that there is a treasure hidden in the Zhao family's mansion in Tianshui Hutong. This thing is now in the Marquis of Anning..."

"His Royal Highness, it's getting late!" Zong Zhengqing's voice came from outside the house.

Pei Zhaoye only thought that he had lost his mind and went crazy, gave him a half-doubting look, turned around and went out.

Not long after he left, Eunuch Gao from Yanbo Palace came in, followed by a palace supervisor carrying a food box.Eunuch Gao's face was serious, and he sternly said to Pei Jianye: "You really shouldn't have said those things to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Pei Jianye swept the hem of his clothes, and said generously: "I said what I shouldn't have said, and it's hard to get rid of it. Father-in-law, you are here to see me on the road."

Only then did Eunuch Gao let go of his tense face, and sighed, "Your Majesty bestows you with a jug of fine wine."

Immediately after the crown prince was abolished, the Third Division began the trial of Yuan Huaike's case of gathering a crowd for treason.

Zuo Fengmian returned to his post soon after King Duan returned to Beijing.In the case of Yuan Huaike, he will report the progress to the emperor at any time.Halfway through the trial, Zuo Fengmian reported back: "There is a judge to find out, and there is a case in the case."

There was a murmur of whispering in the hall.Zuo Fengmian cast his hat on the ground and said: "According to Yuan Huaike's confession, the reason for his rebellion was because his son was accidentally killed by a minister three years ago. The minister is guilty."

Which song is this sung again?Pei Zhan endured his anger and looked at the freshly baked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but Pei Zhaoye kept his eyes on his nose, his nose and his heart, without saying a word.Pei Zhan said patiently: "You patrol the hunt on behalf of the sky, and you have the power to kill exclusively. What crime do you have? Times have changed, get up."

"Officials don't specialize in killing, and there are no two kinds of laws. If the crime is serious or serious, the people's lives will be safe. At that time, the minister rushed forward and killed Yuan Shangqiu with a stick. The minister should be punished if he violates the law by enforcing the law. Your Majesty, please convict the minister first, otherwise the minister will not be able to face it To Yuan Huaike."

Pei Zhan saw that he was going to put down the pick, and said quickly: "Forgive you for your innocence. Yuan Zi was a young bully and ran amok in the countryside. It is not a pity to die."

But Zuo Fengmian insisted: "Thank you for your sympathy. I don't dare to ask extravagantly for the kindness that is beyond my share. The country spreads great faith in the law. If your Majesty does not strictly investigate, I will feel ashamed and do harm to the law. "

Pei Zhan had a splitting headache, and pointed to the front of the line: "What do you think, the prince?"

Pei Zhaoye came out and said: "The country's rules and regulations are only rewards and punishments. What Zuo Jingzhao said, I think so. My ministers also reported their feelings." Pei Zhan wondered: "What kind of feelings do you have?"

Pei Zhaoye came out and said: "The minister impeached Zuo Jingzhao, Zuo Fengmian was admitted to the imperial examination back then, and cheated and falsified. Mr. Zuo's surname is not Zuo at all, nor is he from Yunzhou Prefecture."

There was an uproar in the court.

Being preempted... Zhu Kan, the official minister in the queue, twitched his eyelids and squeezed a memorial in his sleeve tightly.

The emperor put his hand on his forehead and said, "What's going on? Zuo Fengmian, tell me."

Zuo Fengmian raised his head, and said with a clang, "The reason for my anonymity is because of an unjust case. My surname is Shi, and he is the son of Shi Qian, the censor who inspected salt 15 years ago..."

The buzzing tinnitus didn't gradually disappear until a long time after retreating.Pei Zhan looked weakly at the two kneeling on the ground, and said: "Do you have to be so decisive? Do you have to slap me in the face like this, and fight against the court?"

"I dare not lie to Your Majesty and the Crown Prince." "Your Majesty is wise, I dare not be stupid." The two said it almost at the same time.

The emperor's hair had completely turned white in the past two months.The two deep nasolabial folds at the corners of his mouth often make him appear mean and unfeeling.At this moment, Pei Zhan's lips were trembling uncomfortably: "You have discussed it. Is there still Marquis An Ning planning behind it?"

This big case is linked one after another, from Yuan Huaike to Zuo Fengmian, from Zuo Fengmian to Shi Qian, and who is Shi Qian pointing at?

Pei Zhaoye gritted his teeth, and took out a memorial from his pocket: "The Marquis of Anning has not recovered from his illness, and there is a memorial. Please retry the Jiangnan Salt Industry Case and the Zhenguo Princess House Rebellion Case."

"I'm not dead yet! You turn over the case one by one like turning over a book!"

The Nine-Five Lord finally roared.

The author has something to say:
