Yupo Yunhun and the Man-made King

Kou Yiqing said: "Reuse? During the ten years of the emperor's regent, I was instigated by you and made enemies with the emperor everywhere. How could the emperor still use me? But I didn't expect that you and the emperor have such a close personal relationship. In front of the emperor, you Naturally, it is true, but why did you take me first when you came here?"

Chen Wenying has also known Kou Yiqing for many years, so she said at this time: "Hai Che, you should know that the transfer of you must be the meaning of the first assistant Xie Zihu. Although Ling'an is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, but you are on the same level as him, what can he do?" Can decide your appointment and dismissal?"

Kou Yiqing sneered and said: "With his official position, of course he can't, but he and the emperor... hehe... are all over the court, who doesn't know? What he said, the emperor naturally obeyed."

Yan Luan took a deep breath, and said: "Hai Che, between me and the emperor, I didn't want to hide it from anyone, and I couldn't hide it. It's just that you have lived with the emperor for many years, and you know the emperor's temper. Even if I It’s really Deng Tong, Dong Xian and others, what ability do I have to influence the holy will? This transfer of personnel was approved by Xie Zihu and approved by the emperor. If your face can be preserved, the emperor will definitely appreciate it."

Kou Yiqing knew that it was hard to get back, so he was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "Ling'an, Xintai five years ago, I was just a magistrate at that time, and you were already the servant of the official department. Once I came to Beijing for business, you found me, Tell me that you want to keep me in Beijing to help you. From then on, I will listen to whatever you say. At that time, there was more and more tension between the emperor's regent party and the late emperor's imperial party. Only you can win the late emperor at the same time. And the favor of the emperor. Many people said that you colluded with King An and flattered the young emperor, but I never suspected you. In the tenth year of Xintai, you said that it was time to close the net, and then you tricked the emperor to an outlying island. I was in the capital to help the late emperor wipe out the emperor's henchmen one by one. I thought I could finally help the late emperor wholeheartedly from now on, but I didn't expect that I would be demoted and leave the capital soon. I wanted to ask you what happened, but it was reported The news that you were forced to commit suicide by the late emperor. But I don’t believe it. If the late emperor forced you, how could he take you to the palace to recuperate? In the 11th year of Xintai, the late emperor called me back to Beijing. The first emperor wrote a letter. This time when the first emperor was seriously ill, news spread that the first emperor had no children and had secretly left a will to pass on the throne to the emperor. Although we were worried, we did not dare to do anything to hinder the emperor's ascension to the throne It is because looking at the whole world, the emperor is indeed what everyone expects. I didn't expect that the emperor thought I was in the way just after he took the throne, and asked you to come personally to persuade me to resign. Ling'an, all my promotions and relegations in my life are thanks to you. Your gift."

Chen Wenying said: "Hai Che, at that time when the emperor left the country of Beijing, the late emperor had the idea of ​​killing all the birds, hiding rabbits and dead dogs, how did Ling'an think that the late emperor would do this?"

Yan Luan shook his head and said: "No, actually, I have already guessed a little bit about the late emperor's temperament. However, I still indulged the late emperor to do this. I am sorry for Hai Che and other Tongze. Hai Che, the emperor always employs people without distinction. Relatives, this time is really helpless. I promise, you have helped the emperor this time, and the emperor will definitely use you again in the future."

Kou Yiqing smiled wryly: "Do I have any other options? Don't worry, I will submit my resignation tomorrow."

Yan Luan got up, bowed to the ground, thanked him, and left.

Yan Luan and Chen Wenying went to the Ministry of War again and found Luo Xianlin, the servant of the Ministry of War.Luo Xianlin was born as a general, and his city is not deep. Hearing Yan Luan's intention, he immediately scolded loudly: "Yan Luan, you know that I served the emperor before going into battle. Although I dare not say that I will live and die with the emperor, But being the emperor's pawn is still considered loyal and brave. I should never have been deceived by you, and I would stand on the side of the late emperor. In the tenth year of Xintai, the emperor left Beijing, and I was useless, so the late emperor let me go Stationed at the border. It was so easy to transfer back to Beijing a year ago. Now you want me to resign? I am not you. You used to be the emperor's teacher when you were the first emperor. You didn't have to do anything, and you were promoted. It's better now , I heard that when you were in Wuchang, you already lived in the royal palace openly. Now that you are back in Beijing, why don’t you just live in the harem? Let me tell you, I bought my current official position with my life on the battlefield. Don’t you think that I will take the initiative to invite you Resign. If you have the ability, you can let the emperor issue an order to directly dismiss my official position, anyway, it is very convenient for you to play with the emperor in the emperor's bedroom."

Luo Xianlin's voice was so loud that almost the entire military department heard what he said.Yan Luan finished listening with a calm expression, and then said: "Brother Lin first, I was sorry for you in the previous matter. But this time the emperor has made up his mind, you can think about it yourself, I will leave first."

At this time, Xia Zhong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, hurried over, and while sending Yan Luan off, he said with a smile, "Ling'an, Xianlin is a rough man, so don't argue with him. This matter is on my shoulders. I will definitely let Xianlin handle it within three days." Pass it up."

Yan Luan cupped his hands and said, "Brother Xia is so thankful."

Yan Luan and Chen Wenying went to the official department, Chen Wenying wanted to find some words to comfort Yan Luan, and said: "Ling'an, don't care about those words."

Yan Luan said: "Yanhua, I'm fine. I'm afraid many people have thought about what Luo Xianlin said today, but he said it out. When I decided to return to Beijing, I already thought about today, so why would I mind? I just I think, I have indeed done a lot of crimes. To you, Kou Yiqing, Luo Xianlin, and many others, I do owe something."

Chen Wenying said: "We were the ones who wanted to be loyal to the late emperor, but we have to blame ourselves for the end of everything. Don't blame it all on you."

It was evening when the two returned to the Ministry of Officials, and just sat down to drink a cup of tea, a eunuch from the Palace of the Qing Dynasty came in, greeted Yan Luan and Chen Wenying with a smile, and said: "Master Yan, the emperor summoned you to accompany the emperor Have dinner."

Yan Luan was a little disturbed in his heart, so he said: "I would like to trouble my father-in-law to report back to the emperor, and just say that Yan Luan thanked the emperor for his kindness, but today there are too many affairs in the bureaucracy, I really can't accompany the emperor to have dinner, please forgive me."

The eunuch had probably never encountered such a thing before, he was taken aback for a moment, and said: "My lord's words, the slave really dare not answer, I beg the lord and the slave to go."

Yan Luan said: "Then, Eunuch Yan has made an agreement with Eunuch Yan first, and let Eunuch Yan go back to the emperor."

The eunuch said with a bitter face: "The slave told Eunuch Yan that Eunuch Yan would scold the slave to death first." But he didn't dare to offend Yan Luan, so he had to go back to Qianqing Palace in dismay.

After the eunuch left, Chen Wenying said with a smile: "I don't blame the emperor for this matter today, it seems a bit unfair for you to blame the emperor."

Yan Luan said: "How dare I vent my anger on the emperor, it's just that I really don't want others to see that I have any special favor."
