Lintai Storm Record
Chapter 1 is also saved. (21)
, Carefully ask the ginseng to read a book, it is a good thing to have blood in the throat at a young age, and you have to swallow it.It's not your business to ask, and you can't help it. "
Lin Shu looked at Qin Yuning's writing, and began with: "Chasing the stars..." His eyes lit up, and he tightly pursed his lips. When he got up, the chair made a loud noise on the ground. Lin Shu clasped his fists at Qin Yuning excitedly: "Thank you Lord Qin for your guidance. This junior will definitely do his best for the country and live up to Lord Shangshu's expectations."
After Lin Shu left, Qin Yuning picked up the letter paper with his fingers, crumpled it into a ball, lit it with a fire, and the ashes of the paper scattered all over the ground. The ground under his feet was full of waste paper.After Li Yeyuan fell ill, all affairs in the six departments were brought under the overall planning and dispatch of the Ministry of War.
Fengpingxia suffered three defeats within ten days, and the Amodanjung Mission had already left Beijing.
Qin Yuning, who hadn't returned home for several days, left the Ministry of War in the evening. On the long street, there were few people, and there were shops with closed doors everywhere.Qin Yuning wore a felt hat and didn't sit in a sedan chair. He walked alone on the street, turned around and entered a deep alley. At the end of the alley, the newly painted black door was tightly closed.
Qin Yuning took off his hat, looked left and right, and then looked at the wall. Seeing nothing unusual, he took a deep breath and took half a step forward.
Shadows flitted across underfoot.
The corners of Qin Yuning's eyes twitched slightly, he slapped his forehead suddenly, and put on his hat again: "I remember, isn't Master Lu in Huahai Lane? Where have I been, is there anyone?" Qin Yuning roared twice, Cursing and turning around, back to the long street, looking left and right, pointing, got into another narrow alley.
☆、Dragon in the Abyss (pick up four)
It rained in the middle of the night, Fu Mingshao gave up his dormitory to Lu Guan, and asked someone to set up two couches in the East Nuan Pavilion, but he didn't spend much time there.At night, either Liu Suguang was lucky, or he went to the bedroom to see Lu Guan's injuries. It usually took more than an hour to see, and he simply slept on the couch in the bedroom.
The servant reported that the Qilin Guard was waiting outside, Fu Mingshao went to the bed, lifted the curtain and took a look, Lu Guan was sleeping deeply, he put on his clothes and went out.
Ever since there was an accident at the grand ceremony, Fu Mingshao has not been able to sleep peacefully for a day, or go to Liu Suguang's place, and use the fragrance to help him sleep to sleep soundly for most of the night, or come to Lu Guan's place, although he always has to be rejected. Waking up from a nightmare, I was able to fall asleep anyway, and fell asleep quickly after waking up.
After Fu Mingshao got up and left, Lu Guan who was sleeping in the bed opened his eyes.
The robes soaked in the dark fragrance, the Qilin Guard kneeling on the ground almost pressed his head to the cold stone slab in front of his knees.
"Lin Shu seemed to be in a good mood when he left the Ministry of War. At the end of the You Dynasty, Qin Yuning came out of the Ministry of War. He temporarily turned to Huahai Lane halfway, and finally went to Lu Jiangfeng's mansion, and then went home."
Fu Mingshao stroked the gold inlaid jade ring on his index finger with his right thumb, and said coldly: "You are getting better at working, everything is as usual, and it is worth letting me listen at this hour."
"Your Majesty dare not dare, but your Majesty will allow you to report."
The wind gently shakes away the dew on the sparse clumps of Pteris bamboo under the window pane.
Lu Guan calmed down, eyes closed, his hearing was extraordinary, Qilin Wei Dynasty Fu Mingshao reported the place where Qin Yuning went first before going to Huahai Lane, the three-character place name hit Lu Guan's heart, and there was a huge wave Going up the river made him shudder all over.
Lu Guan held his left arm tightly with his right hand, listened quietly for a while, and then returned to the bed, pretending nothing happened.
After a while, he heard someone coming in, so he slowed down his breathing.
Fu Mingshao lay on the low couch, closed his eyes, his heart skipped a beat, his eyes suddenly opened, and fear, hesitation, fear, and suspicion appeared in his pupils.In the blink of an eye, Fu Mingshao stayed on the bed, walked to the front of the bed in three steps in two steps, and picked up the shadowy bed curtain.
Lu Guan slept peacefully, and Fu Mingshao could hear his breathing, which was steady and long.
Fu Mingshao's eyelids twitched sharply, and then he bent one knee, knelt on the bed, his entire back bent into a tight bow, and his sharp eyes fixed on Lu Guan, who was still pale and weak.
Lu Guan fell asleep by himself.
Fu Mingshao's breath swept across Lu Guan's face from far to near, and lingered on his nose.
Lu Guan's heart tightened.He felt a hot palm pressed against his ankle, Lu Guan's whole body stiffened, and then he forced himself to relax.The hand didn't dare to make a move, and instead rested lightly on his leg.
Fu Mingshao stared at Lu Guan without blinking, his throat rolled slightly, he squinted his eyes, and there was a hollow in the center of his palm, and then he stuck it up, breathing hard, and stretched his hand into Lu Guan's unlined clothes, which should have been firm The area of his abdominal muscles was wrapped with dense bandages, and Fu Mingshao lightly rubbed the texture of the fabric with his fingertips.
By the time he touched Lu Guan's hot chest, the single clothes had been lifted up, revealing a strong and thin waist.Fu Mingshao suddenly raised his head to look at Lu Guan's face as if he felt something, his sleeping face was still there, Fu Mingshao stuffed his exhausted body into the quilt, hugged Lu Guan's arm sideways, and pressed his face on his shoulder , closed his eyes, and soon opened them again.
While pulling Lu Guan's arm, Fu Mingshao raised his head, so that Lu Guan's arm went around the back of his neck and hung down his shoulders, then he closed his eyes and fell asleep in Lu Guan's arms.
It was extremely difficult for Fu Mingshao to fall asleep, but he snored lightly in just a few breaths.
Lu Guan opened his eyes, kept his body still, rolled his eyes lightly, and glanced at Fu Mingshao, then his eyes fell on the top of the bed, and waited for half an hour before he gently lifted Fu Mingshao's head from his shoulder. move away.
When the door opened, Sun Xiu bowed slightly, glanced into the bedroom, and signaled Lu Guan to follow.
Sun Xiu led Lu Guan into a side hall located in the northwest corner of the imperial palace hundreds of meters away from the sleeping hall. When the door was opened, a light lit up inside the hall.
Liu Suguang shook his hand, and threw the half-burned match into the iron box.
"Here we come." She looked at Lu Guan with her beautiful eyes, saluted slightly, then looked at Sun Xiu, and said in a low voice, "Zuo Zhengying's residence has been exposed. Eunuch Sun, your people are watching, but His Majesty's people are also watching." Now, if you really use your hands, even if you can gain the upper hand for a while, it will be of no use. Right now the capital is still under the control of Yu Linwei, Meng Honglin has pulled out many hidden stakes for you, and your father-in-law must be cautious. "
Sun Xiu sneered, with an indistinct curve on her lips, and narrowed her eyes: "You just need to do what you're told."
Liu Suguang blushed pretty, bit her lip, but didn't make a sound.
Lu Guandao: "Is there any news from Qizhou?"
Liu Suguang shook his head.
Sun Xiu stared at Lu Guan, bent her index finger and rapped on the table twice, her tone was cold: "The important thing is not Qizhou, but Zuo Zhengying, we can't let Zuo Zhengying fall into Fu Mingmao's hands. This Qin Yuning You idiot." Sun Xiu's nose flared, and a faint flesh-red line appeared on her finely powdered face.
Lu took a look at Sun Xiu.
Sun Xiu immediately stopped talking, he took a deep breath, and stretched his brows like a centipede.
"Where are my clothes?" Lu Guan asked out loud.
Liu Suguang went over with the lamp in hand, and the eunuch uniform given to Lu Guanbei was on the couch.
Lu Guankuan took off his unlined clothes.
Liu Suguang looked away from the man's strong shoulders, put down her palms, the bead curtains rustled, and her voice was as soft as a cluster of lights that were about to be extinguished at any time.
"When you need me to work, what is your father-in-law?"
"Of course someone from me is looking for you. There is no rush. Did Li Mingchang look for you yesterday? What does he want you to do?"
"This father-in-law doesn't need to know." Liu Suguang lowered his voice.
Lu Guan raised his head slightly, put on his hat, turned his face sideways, and moved his ears slightly.
Sun Xiu: "Recovered a life from Li Mingchang?"
Liu Suguang did not answer.
Lu Guan was dressed neatly and came out from the inner room, the two of them immediately stopped talking, Liu Suguang walked to the table, at some point he picked up the pick between his fingers, and scraped the wick a little brighter.
"Lord Lu, be careful, and avoid the Qilin Guards." Liu Suguang gave Lu Guan two tubes of prepared medicine powder, and Lu Guan put them in his sleeves, tightened his cuffs, and left.
Liu Suguang let out a sigh of relief, sat down, and poured a cup of tea in a daze.
"In front of the emperor, you also look like this lost soul?" Sun Xiu said.
Liu Suguang said coldly: "Eunuch Sun, you have your goals, and I have mine. We all happen to be walking on the same path, and we will each go our own way in the future, so don't you need to be too strict?"
Sun Xiu gritted her teeth and said, "If something bad happens, our family won't care if you are Li Qiande's foster daughter."
Liu Suguang didn't speak, but his face turned paler.
·
Lu Guan took the ox cart that left the palace to transport water in the middle of the night, separated from the people sent by Sun Xiu, and went straight to Qin Yuning's mansion.
On the way, Lu Guan didn't find anyone following him, nor did he see any suspicious people following Qin Yuning's mansion.Lu Guan thought to himself, probably the few Qilin guards were sent to Zuo Zhengying tonight.
The light in Qin Yuning's study was still on, there was a coughing sound, and someone whispered inside. A moment later, a woman came out with a maid, glanced sideways at the door, sighed and shook her head, and left with the help of the maid.
Hearing the knock on the door, Qin Yuning thought it was his wife again, and suddenly frowned. He took a deep breath, put down his pen, and went to open the door helplessly.
The face in the crack of the door made Qin Yuning's eyes widen suddenly. His first reaction was to close the door, but he was suddenly pushed back two steps by a strong force, and then he was thrown against the door.
Lu Guan put one hand on Qin Yuning's back, and despite his strength, he didn't make too much noise.
Qin Yuning was dizzy for a while, gasped for a while, and asked with difficulty: "Why are you here, what kind of clothes are you wearing..." After a pause, Qin Yuning felt his scalp go numb, "Is there someone in the palace to meet you? What does the Queen Mother want to do?"
"Master Qin asked so many questions, can you answer me a question first."
Qin Yuning's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I know what you're going to ask, I betrayed Li Xuan's whereabouts, and I don't regret doing this."
Lu Guandao: "My lord, have you forgotten your former teacher?"
Qin Yuning's eyes were red, he coughed twice, and said with a smile: "It is precisely because I have never forgotten my former teacher that I want to kill demons for Da Chu Zhengtong."
"Master Qin, what is orthodoxy?"
"..." Qin Yuning took a sharp breath of cold air into his lungs, his face turned pale, "Fu's bloodline, the late emperor's edict, the emperor was ordered by the heavens, and the king's way was to be followed in the world. The orthodox emperor."
Lu Guan looked at Qin Yuning seriously, and said calmly: "If the blood of the Fu family and the edict of the first emperor are all fake?"
Qin Yuning's face stiffened instantly, and a slight twitch shook his cheeks.
"Wuzhi Lizi, what nonsense are you talking about?!" Qin Yuning exerted a little bit of weak strength of a civil servant, which was like an ant shaking a tree. He couldn't make Lu Guan retreat an inch, but instead he gasped frequently.
"I'm not rebellious or lying. Master Qin only needs to write a letter to ask Song Qianzhi for verification, and he will immediately know that what this junior said is true."
Qin Yuning's eyes were wide open, and after a while, he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Zhu Xing is deceived by others."
"Li Xuan has the edict of the late emperor in his hand, and the authentic works of the late emperor. Lord Qin naturally knows more than me, a younger generation. If the lord hadn't sold Li Xuan's treasury to the court, the lord would have been able to witness the edict of the late emperor with his own eyes. Why use the younger generation? It’s a waste of words. In black and white, as long as you take a pair of imperial edicts from the late emperor’s time, it’s clear at a glance whether it’s true or false.”
Sweat dripped from Qin Yuning's forehead, he opened his mouth, his lips were trembling: "...the handwriting may not be fake."
"What about Yuxi?"
Qin Yuning was silent.
The jade seals used by the great Chu emperors vary from generation to generation, and there are iron mirrors that can be verified. The six ministers, the prime minister's mansion, and the highest officials of the Yushi Temple are each in charge of an iron mirror.Even if Qin Yuning kills him alone, it's useless.
Qin Yuning's legs were weak, and the weight of his whole body was piled on Lu Guan's arms. Lu Guan vigorously pulled him around, and Qin Yuning sat in the chair in a daze. He pursed his lips and did not speak for a long time.
Lu Guan moved to the desk, and saw Qin Yuning's desk piled up with military books and military newspapers, civil servants' art of war, and thousands of ingenious tricks on paper, which were no match for the ever-changing changes on the battlefield.The chaotic pile of paper balls also reveals the restlessness of the owner.
"Master Qin already knew many things." Lu Guan whispered.
Qin Yuning closed his eyes, and asked Lu Guan tremblingly, "Your internal response in the palace is Jiang Meng, right?"
Did not hear Lu Guan's answer, Qin Yuning smiled wryly and said to himself: "The daughter of the Zhou family, is she a thing in the pond?"
"It's not Jiang Meng."
Qin Yuning was obviously taken aback, his opened eyes were full of suspicion and fear.It is no secret among the important ministers that the empress dowager is at odds with the emperor, but the internal response is not from the empress dowager. That means there are forces hidden within the palace walls that Qin Yuning does not even know about.
"The younger generation thinks that Mr. Qin is a man of insight who cares about all people. He never thought that the number one in your heart is also the head on the neck and the beast on the robe."
"Lu Guan!"
Lu Guan dodged the flying teacup, and it shattered on the ground with a bang.
No one in the Qin Mansion, which was completely silent, dared to come and see, they only thought that the master was just like the old days and nights, venting his anger after reading the distressing military newspaper.
Qin Yuning couldn't stop panting, but he couldn't scold more with his slightly opened mouth.
Did he do all this for the sake of the Fu surname, for the nameless people, or for himself?
This last thought burrowed into my heart like a poisonous insect, it first bit open a small mouth.
Qin Yuning's eyelids twitched endlessly.
Then drill into his heart.
Qin Yuning's face was pale, and he said: "You are as clever as you are, and I am worthy of heaven and king. You can go, I have never seen you tonight."
Lu Guan looked at Qin Yuning silently, and untied a small burden, which was also made of green cloth, which was integrated with the eunuch's uniform on his body.
Things hit the table.
The sound made Qin Yuning's eyelids twitch.
"What is this?" Qin Yuning clenched the armrest tightly with one hand, his muscles tensed.
"My lord, please open it."
Qin Yuning stretched out his trembling right hand, retracted it abruptly, and grabbed the armrest of the chair tightly again, turning his face away.
"Take it!"
"My lord Qin has forgotten how he was forced to join Mrs. Zhou's family because of poverty and hunger and cold, and how he received a meal from the second lady of the Zhou family. Since the eldest grandson of the Zhou family, Fu Minghong, the prince of Chu, died unexpectedly. He went to the harem, you How did your master Taifu deal with you. Master Qin, you are a scholar from a poor family, not a wealthy family. To be able to become a minister of the Ministry of War, it is natural to rely on your lord's poor window for ten years. However, the people of the poor family in the world are like crucian carp crossing the river , Mr. Qin has today, kowtow three times to the memorial tablet of his benefactor as a reward, is it not too much for this junior?"
Qin Yuning's throat was dry, he glanced at Lu Guan in surprise, and kept convincing himself that it was impossible, the Zhou family had been overthrown for many years, the Andinghou's mansion was burned, the queen mother was trapped in the palace, why did the Zhou family come to the ancestral temple for shelter.
Qin Yuning couldn't control his left hand, and his skinny fingers picked a corner from the fur.
The red characters on the black background, revealing little by little, are the former number one surname in the court.
Qin Yuning's face was pale, and he sat slumped in the chair, and the chair leg scratched the ground with a sharp sound.
"Lord Qin, can you say it again, in your life, you have lived up to the heavens and down to the king."
"I……"
"Song Qianzhi is a descendant of the Zhou family, and he is in the same line as your mentor. If you hadn't bullied him when he was young, relying on yourself as Zhou Taifu's favorite student, helping the evil, and steering the helm and lamp for the innocent king, why didn't you dare to take the tablet of your mentor? Serve upright and offer three sticks of incense?"
Suddenly a gust of cold wind swept the ground.
The chair crashed to the ground, Qin Yuning jumped up, one foot was hit, his face twitched in pain, but he didn't say a word.
In the end, Qin Yuning let out two long breaths, and sighed: "Ignorant boy, I never believe in the theory of ghosts and gods. Even if my teacher is alive, I can argue."
Lu Guan nodded: "Your Excellency is the master's apprentice."
Qin Yuning's eyes calmed down, his thumb pressed against the corner of his lips, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on his face.
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" He calmly took out the ranking of mentors from the bag, wiped his sleeves, and couldn't look away for a long time.
Until Lu Guan's words came to his ears.
The author has something to say: I'm back~~~~~ Quiet Mimi resumes updating =. =
☆, back to Beijing (one)
After Lu Guan left, Qin Yuning sat in a chair in a daze.The erratic light rain outside the window did not know when it started to ring, and the wind and rain beat on the window lattice, making a bang.
Qin Yuning stroked the teacher's tablet on the case with his thumb, and couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
What Lu Guan meant was that after Fu Mingshao was assassinated, he should keep his funeral secret, whitewash the peace, stabilize the situation in the capital, and wait for Bai Guyou to bring Li Xuan back to the capital.Qizhou not only has Bai Guyou's army, but also the Dongming King who has been dormant for many years, and is in danger in the court. I am afraid that these people have already moved their minds about whether they should move or not.
Qin Yuning flicked his fingers unconsciously.
A pair of Suihan Three Friends hanging on the wall came into view, Qin Yuning looked far away, snapped the tablet on the table, stood tall, straightened the crumpled southern silk skirt on his body, stomped his feet, and called the servant The maid changed his clothes for him.
He wanted to enter the palace before dawn to remind the emperor to beware of Lu Guan.
Just as Qin Yuning stepped out of the mansion, the sedan chair was lowered in front of him. In the heavy rain, Qin Yuning was stunned for a moment. At home, he often held a broken umbrella that was crooked by the heavy rain and shouted loudly. He rushed forward: "Master, master, something is wrong."
Qin Yuning signaled Chang Sui to come over with his head bowed.
Amidst the pattering rain, wet and cold words reached Qin Yuning's ears.
"Old Mr. Zuo Zhengying was stabbed in the mansion."
·
In the early morning of the next day, in the sleeping hall.
"Both the old couple were stabbed, and their bodies were hacked beyond recognition by the murderer." Sun Xiu said to Lu Guan.
Lu took a look at Sun Xiu: "Zuo Zhengying is not dead."
"I just don't know where it is." Sun Xiu was not surprised.
The two of them knew very well that no matter Fu Mingmao's subordinates or Qilinwei, if they wanted to kill two helpless elders, they could kill them with one blow without leaving any traces.
Lu Guan remained silent.
Sun Xiu stared at him meaningfully, and asked if Lu Guan persuaded Qin Yuning last night.
Lu Guanyan hesitated: "Qin Yuning has already panicked. Ever since he became Minister of the Ministry of War, the emperor has been Fu Mingshao. In his heart, the late Emperor Rongzong is certainly not as good as Fu Mingshao. Eunuch Sun also knows that Fu Mingshao Mingshao had doubts about the veterans of the former dynasty, but he relied heavily on Qin Yuning. In addition to the invasion of Hei Di, Fu Mingshao tightened his control over the Ministry of War, and Qin Yuning was able to go in and out of Chengyuan Hall from time to time. Lintai was withered, and Fu Mingshao had no one It can be said that Fu Mingshao did not dare to trust the old ministers who were already in high positions when Rongzong was there, even if they were loyal to them wholeheartedly. He was not trusted and loved by Rongzong when he was the sixth prince. Ascension to the throne is shrouded in the shadow of the Queen Mother and the Right Prime Minister. It is not that Fu Mingshao wants to exercise power, but only when he truly holds power in his hands can he have a moment of peace."
Lu Guan paused for a moment, and continued: "So Qin Yuning has both elder care for Fu Mingshao and respect for the royal power. It may not be successful to rely on Zhou Taifu's teacher's kindness to ask him to repay him."
"He is young and ambitious." Sun Xiu said coldly.
Lu Guan naturally knew that Sun Xiu was loyal to Rongzong and was full of disdain for Qin Yuning who wanted to repay Fu Mingshao's kindness.
"Qin Yuning sits in the Ministry of War and hasn't had any serious problems for many years. Heidi came to the gate, and he is also guarding the capital. His wisdom and courage cannot be underestimated. It's just different. No matter how much kindness Zhou Taifu has shown him, after all, there is no one in the Zhou family. With a bit of power and deterrence, a mediocre person may be able to frighten him, but he cannot be frightened."
"Is this move so useless?"
"No." Lu Guan said, "I have told him all the inside information about the turmoil in the court this year. Since it was calm last night, now that Zuo Zhengying died tragically, Qin Yuning would never dare to act rashly."
Sun Xiu pondered for a moment, and said: "The Qilin Guard was seized precisely because of his exposure. If something happened to Zuo Zhengying, the first thing he would think of would be the emperor's action. Now the emperor can dispatch the Habayashi Guard publicly, and he can use it secretly. Only Qilinwei, Qilinwei was reused again, Qin Yuning also had to weigh whether his words would win the emperor's trust, or Qilinwei would win the emperor's trust more."
Lu Guan didn't mention Qin Yuning any more, he asked Sun Xiu to let his people pay more attention to the wound medicine given to him.
Sun Xiu promised Lu Guan to find a good doctor from outside the palace, read his prescription, and find a way to bring him the wound medicine privately within a few days.
"Don't be in a hurry. If you are injured, you need to rest. Besides, my lord should know that staying in the palace is more useful to the young master than leaving the palace."
Lu Guan's eyes flashed, but he didn't answer.
Sun Xiu tactfully retreated.
Lu Guan opened his robe, sat cross-legged on the couch, and glanced at the furnishings in the dormitory aimlessly, and saw the magnificent, gold and silver objects, glass bead curtains, all a piece of cold and crisp shell.He hooked his little finger flexibly, and the end of the red string was tied with the jade pendant that had been ironed by his body. Lu Guan held the jade pendant between his lips, closed his robe for a long time, got up and walked out of the bedroom.
·
And as Lu Guan expected, Zuo Zhengying was visiting Li Yeyuan's other courtyard, and his wife took care of his daily life. Fu Mingmao came to see Zuo Zhengying several times, and moved him with affection and reason.
Zuo Zhengying was unmoved, and Fu Mingmao did not force him.
At night, when Li Yeyuan returned to the other courtyard, Fu Mingmao was already waiting, and he was delighted to see that nothing happened on his face. Li Yeyuan took off his cloak, and a servant girl picked it up immediately. He washed his hands in the copper basin and wiped them with a handkerchief.
"The old man still refuses?"
Fu Mingmao: "I don't say yes, and I don't say no, I just don't want to write, saying it's because I'm too old to hold a pen."
Li Yeyuan wiped his hands, and said: "We can't wait for a few more days, the Zhenbei Army is about to go north, within these three or four days, you have to find a way to let him write."
"What about Yuxi?"
Li Yeyuan: "You don't need to worry about it. Just ask Zuo Zhengying to draw up an authentic copy of Rongzong's work, promise him a high official and a generous salary, and keep his students safe and sound in the court. In the future, the official career will continue to be prosperous. Don't be too eager, just like this The old man grinds, the most taboo is to lose patience."
Fu Mingmao smiled wryly: "It's only three or four days, and there's no way to wear it down slowly. Zuo Zhengying has no sons, and there is no one in the clan, so blackmailing him naturally won't work. He doesn't seem to care much about the future of the students. I have always had My question is, why is he in the capital?"
"Did you forget that there is Li Xuan?"
Fu Mingmao froze.
"It's also the fault of the truth. I didn't try my best to track down Wu Yingzhong's whereabouts these years, find out Li Xuan's identity, and cut the grass and roots early, so that future troubles will come." Li Yeyuan sat down wearily, and took a sip of ginseng tea.
Fu Mingmao hesitated for a moment, and said: "In order to persuade Song Qianzhi to join my camp, I let him know about Li Xuan's existence. But I don't know about Li Xuan's life experience, and it was a mistake."
Li Yeyuan shook his hand: "No matter what, Li Xuan is also a lunatic. Even if he entered the capital, he would not be able to sit in that seat. The queen mother wanted to support the youngest son of King Dongming, but I did not do it. It is difficult to protect her. Will not pass by others."
Fu Mingmao was stunned for a moment, and said with a broken smile: "I am the eldest son of the royal father, and the eldest son is still here. The royal son of the royal father has already passed away, so I deserve it."
"The queen mother always thinks that you killed her own son. There is no chance to untie this knot."
Fu Mingmao nodded understandingly: "Take your time in the future, if you really can't solve it, you don't need to solve it."
Li Yeyuan lowered his eyes and took another sip of tea.When Fu Mingmao came to the throne, the Empress Dowager Zhou was completely useless, and it didn't matter whether she believed it or not.Tonight Li Yeyuan entered the palace to meet the Queen Mother Zhou, the Queen Mother got angry at him, and before staying for a while, Li Yeyuan found an excuse to leave the palace.
"In short, to Zuo Zhengying, you have to be soft-spoken and persuasive. His students can still be used by you. This group of courtiers don't need to be replaced within five years. If you don't worry about using them, you can take it easy. Thank you Enke Select talents. But your foundation is not stable when you first become a great treasure, and your mother's family is a foreigner, so remember not to be too eager."
Fu Mingmao snorted: "I have waited for this opportunity for so many years, don't worry, I can wait for the lessons learned from the past."
Li Yeyuan smiled gratifiedly, stretched out his hand to pat Fu Mingmao's shoulder, got up and changed his clothes: "I'll go and see Zijin."
"I haven't congratulated Uncle Li yet."
Li Yeyuan was taken aback for a moment, his eyes flashed with excitement.
"Thanks to the eldest prince."
"I'm old enough to be a child, it should be my good fortune to be with Uncle Li."
Li Yeyuan didn't say any more, and the pace of leaving was obviously quickened.
The smile on Fu Mingmao's lips disappeared, his brows furrowed, he went out to find Zuo Zhengying, and ordered his confidants to fetch a pair of rare and precious cold and warm jade chess sets.When Zuo Zhengying was an official in the court, he was good at playing chess. Fu Mingmao was going to work on this aspect to see if he could pry Zuo Zhengying's hand away.
·
The sky was gloomy, and a rickety carriage galloped forward in the light rain, passing through a neat forest more than ten meters high.
The coachman kept yelling, and the whip mercilessly urged the horse to gallop.
"Mother." The violent bumps made the young man cry out in panic.
Princess Dongming quickly hugged her son in her arms, and the gentle fragrance of her body soothed the tense nerves of the young man.
The princess leaned against the car window, the curtains were constantly lifted by the wind, she saw through the gap that there were no accompanying people around, she frowned, slammed on the door panel, and shouted: "Stop!"
The carriage slowed down, but did not stop moving forward.
Princess Dongming helped her son sit up, and whispered to him: "Don't be afraid, mother, go out and have a look."
Just when the princess put her hand on the car door, her fingers were suddenly wrapped by her son's warm and soft palm.
"Mother sit down, my son will go and see."
Princess Dongming didn't have time to object, and was pressed down by her son. The boy opened the car door very quickly, and while Princess Dongming was in a panic, he put on a princely air and asked, "My concubine's mother told you to stop, and you still don't stop the carriage!"
Two black horses appeared in the jungle and approached the carriage.
Princess Dongming felt relieved and tugged at her son.
The boy gave his mother a puzzled look.
Two black horses crossed in front of the carriage, forcing the carriage to stop, the guard scolded his head and face, and the coachman admitted his mistake insensitively.
"What orders does the lord have? The subordinates are waiting in the dark to protect the lord, but please sit at ease." The head of the guard saluted.
The young man's voice was loud: "This king is hungry, how long will it take to reach the town?"
The guard wanted to take out his dry food.
A woman's voice came from inside the car: "The little prince is spoiled and spoiled. He doesn't eat any old eggs, and he doesn't eat any fishy meat. If he can't chew ordinary pork and beef, he won't be able to eat well. If he can't eat well, the little prince will sleep." Not good, it will take a few days to say the least, my son will be hungry and thin, I will not cover it up for you, and I will report it truthfully."
The guards looked at each other in blank dismay, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and report that after half an hour, they would find a place to stay and live in the inn.
The sun sank little by little, and the sky was dyed into a purple red silk by the rays of the sun.
The carriage continued on the road, but the bumps were not so severe. Princess Dongming's hand was always held in his son's palm, and her face gradually blurred into an elegant and calm silhouette in the gradually enveloping twilight.
"Mother." The boy's voice revealed anxiety.
Princess Dongming touched the back of her son's hand, and was about to comfort her son softly when she heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
Princess Dongming glanced at her son blankly.
The young man's face was pale, his lips were trembling, and he was looking at the car window vigilantly.
There were several heavy landings.
The body of the carriage bumped inconspicuously, as if the front wheel of the carriage had run over an abrupt stone and deflected, and was pulled back to the right path by the driver.
Princess Dongming listened quietly for a while, then fixedly looked at the car door in front of her, her eyelashes flickered, and glanced at her son, the boy pulled the car door hard.
Sitting in front of him was a thin figure in white clothes, with one foot flexed gracefully, his head slightly tilted, and he poked out the straw that was in his mouth.
"Little prince and concubine, I'm frightened. It's getting late. Let's go to the town to settle down and wait for General Bai's troops to pick us up. What do you two think?"
The boy stared at his profile in fascination.
Princess Dongming pursed her lips, pressed her hand lightly on her chest, panted and said, "Your Majesty, thank you."
Song Qianzhi smiled happily, and kicked the horse's butt with his boot, just to urge him, not to kill him.
☆, back to Beijing ([-])
The unremarkable carriage drove into a back alley, Song Qianzhi grabbed the horse's head, jumped off the shaft, held the rein with one hand, patted the horse's neck with the other hand, and opened the door.
Princess Dongming wrapped her arms around her son, maintaining a dozing posture with her head down. She opened her eyes and patted her son's upper arm with one hand.
The boy woke up rubbing his eyes, glanced at Song Qianzhi, and buried his head in his mother's arms.
The conditions of the hotels in the town were mediocre, the air in the room was filled with a musty smell, the waiter who held the lamp followed behind the three of them, yawning wearily.
"This is the upper room, who is the key to?"
Song Qianzhi motioned to the princess.
The little prince was embarrassed to sleep with his mother and concubine, so he followed Song Qianzhi to another room, and when he entered the door, he poked his head around, stretched his neck and sneezed.
From Song Qianzhi's point of view.
The boy shrunk his neck and rubbed his nose, opened his mouth, but was embarrassed to speak.
That night Song Qianzhi seemed to have fallen asleep as soon as he went to bed, but just as the young man got off the ground, Song Qianzhi's voice sounded behind him: "Where is the little prince going?"
The teenager is just going to urinate.
Facing the shabby and shabby old wooden barrels in a strange place, the splashing sound that should have been flowing down became drizzling.
"Master Song..." The young man came out blushing, and slipped his pants.
"Your Majesty has already dismissed me as an official. Your Excellency should stop calling, let alone you are a prince." Song Qianzhi smiled and said, "I don't know if there are any other people in the palace to watch over your mother and son. Be careful."
The little prince nodded in understanding.
Back in the room, the little prince slept on the bed, and Song Qianzhi slept on the "couch" made of three stools.
The young man asked in a childish voice: "I have been in Qizhou for ten years, and no one in the palace has ever thought of our mother and child. The empress dowager sent someone to pick us up. Do you have any orders?"
Song Qianzhi: "What does the little prince think?"
"I am still young, and my mother and concubine did not let me care too much about government affairs. They only told me to study hard and learn riding and archery from my master. The mother and concubine said that I founded the country of Great Chu and ruled the world with riding and shooting. In the future, I will at least sit in the fiefdom. Martial arts are not enough. It depends on the implementation of benevolent government, and the family will be safe if it wins the hearts of the people. The meaning of the mother and concubine is that as long as the fiefdom is managed well, the emperor will worry about the world's plans. As long as the clan's children manage themselves well and sharpen themselves, they will be useful in the court It is time to stand up and be worthy of the royal family and ancestors." The young man blinked, "Maybe the court needs me."
Song Qianzhi was silent for a moment.
Although he couldn't see Song Qianzhi's face, the young man felt that Song Qianzhi was looking at him, and his head turned towards Song Qianzhi, resting on the back of one hand. For this young man who came to rescue him and his mother, the young man Feel very cordial.
"The princess is a sensible person, and the queen mother is my aunt. I probably know a thing or two about her thoughts. But," Song Qianzhi paused, his eyes caught a glimmer of light, which was the eyes of a young man, " The little prince is a descendant of the Fu surname, do you have the idea of touching more than ten thousand people?"
The shimmer trembled for a moment.
"I am too young, and when my father was around, I was just an idle prince. I have the honor to inherit the title of my father. I am already blessed with great grace, and I am deeply favored by the late emperor. How dare I have the heart of disobedience."
Song Qianzhi stared deeply at the young man, his eyes adapted to the darkness of the room, and he knew that the same was true for King Xiao Dongming.
The silence made the young man feel irritable, his feet kept rubbing against each other under the quilt, he grasped the edge of the quilt with his hands, and the hot breath piled up on his neck, making his chin feel hot as well.
"It's not good to be an emperor. You are being plotted by others every day, and you have to worry about the world's major affairs. If a foreign country invades, you may have to drive yourself to conquer the world. It's good to win, but if you lose, it will be bad for a long time. Bad luck. If the enemy's capture is worse, there will be a tragic death in the enemy camp. The common people live a good life. During the festivals, they burn incense to the Kitchen God and the City God, and worship the ancestor gods during Qingming. Last year's calamity year, there will be rumors everywhere, secretly saying that the emperor is not the son of destiny, because the seasons are out of order, and the people are not in harmony."
long time no hear song
Lin Shu looked at Qin Yuning's writing, and began with: "Chasing the stars..." His eyes lit up, and he tightly pursed his lips. When he got up, the chair made a loud noise on the ground. Lin Shu clasped his fists at Qin Yuning excitedly: "Thank you Lord Qin for your guidance. This junior will definitely do his best for the country and live up to Lord Shangshu's expectations."
After Lin Shu left, Qin Yuning picked up the letter paper with his fingers, crumpled it into a ball, lit it with a fire, and the ashes of the paper scattered all over the ground. The ground under his feet was full of waste paper.After Li Yeyuan fell ill, all affairs in the six departments were brought under the overall planning and dispatch of the Ministry of War.
Fengpingxia suffered three defeats within ten days, and the Amodanjung Mission had already left Beijing.
Qin Yuning, who hadn't returned home for several days, left the Ministry of War in the evening. On the long street, there were few people, and there were shops with closed doors everywhere.Qin Yuning wore a felt hat and didn't sit in a sedan chair. He walked alone on the street, turned around and entered a deep alley. At the end of the alley, the newly painted black door was tightly closed.
Qin Yuning took off his hat, looked left and right, and then looked at the wall. Seeing nothing unusual, he took a deep breath and took half a step forward.
Shadows flitted across underfoot.
The corners of Qin Yuning's eyes twitched slightly, he slapped his forehead suddenly, and put on his hat again: "I remember, isn't Master Lu in Huahai Lane? Where have I been, is there anyone?" Qin Yuning roared twice, Cursing and turning around, back to the long street, looking left and right, pointing, got into another narrow alley.
☆、Dragon in the Abyss (pick up four)
It rained in the middle of the night, Fu Mingshao gave up his dormitory to Lu Guan, and asked someone to set up two couches in the East Nuan Pavilion, but he didn't spend much time there.At night, either Liu Suguang was lucky, or he went to the bedroom to see Lu Guan's injuries. It usually took more than an hour to see, and he simply slept on the couch in the bedroom.
The servant reported that the Qilin Guard was waiting outside, Fu Mingshao went to the bed, lifted the curtain and took a look, Lu Guan was sleeping deeply, he put on his clothes and went out.
Ever since there was an accident at the grand ceremony, Fu Mingshao has not been able to sleep peacefully for a day, or go to Liu Suguang's place, and use the fragrance to help him sleep to sleep soundly for most of the night, or come to Lu Guan's place, although he always has to be rejected. Waking up from a nightmare, I was able to fall asleep anyway, and fell asleep quickly after waking up.
After Fu Mingshao got up and left, Lu Guan who was sleeping in the bed opened his eyes.
The robes soaked in the dark fragrance, the Qilin Guard kneeling on the ground almost pressed his head to the cold stone slab in front of his knees.
"Lin Shu seemed to be in a good mood when he left the Ministry of War. At the end of the You Dynasty, Qin Yuning came out of the Ministry of War. He temporarily turned to Huahai Lane halfway, and finally went to Lu Jiangfeng's mansion, and then went home."
Fu Mingshao stroked the gold inlaid jade ring on his index finger with his right thumb, and said coldly: "You are getting better at working, everything is as usual, and it is worth letting me listen at this hour."
"Your Majesty dare not dare, but your Majesty will allow you to report."
The wind gently shakes away the dew on the sparse clumps of Pteris bamboo under the window pane.
Lu Guan calmed down, eyes closed, his hearing was extraordinary, Qilin Wei Dynasty Fu Mingshao reported the place where Qin Yuning went first before going to Huahai Lane, the three-character place name hit Lu Guan's heart, and there was a huge wave Going up the river made him shudder all over.
Lu Guan held his left arm tightly with his right hand, listened quietly for a while, and then returned to the bed, pretending nothing happened.
After a while, he heard someone coming in, so he slowed down his breathing.
Fu Mingshao lay on the low couch, closed his eyes, his heart skipped a beat, his eyes suddenly opened, and fear, hesitation, fear, and suspicion appeared in his pupils.In the blink of an eye, Fu Mingshao stayed on the bed, walked to the front of the bed in three steps in two steps, and picked up the shadowy bed curtain.
Lu Guan slept peacefully, and Fu Mingshao could hear his breathing, which was steady and long.
Fu Mingshao's eyelids twitched sharply, and then he bent one knee, knelt on the bed, his entire back bent into a tight bow, and his sharp eyes fixed on Lu Guan, who was still pale and weak.
Lu Guan fell asleep by himself.
Fu Mingshao's breath swept across Lu Guan's face from far to near, and lingered on his nose.
Lu Guan's heart tightened.He felt a hot palm pressed against his ankle, Lu Guan's whole body stiffened, and then he forced himself to relax.The hand didn't dare to make a move, and instead rested lightly on his leg.
Fu Mingshao stared at Lu Guan without blinking, his throat rolled slightly, he squinted his eyes, and there was a hollow in the center of his palm, and then he stuck it up, breathing hard, and stretched his hand into Lu Guan's unlined clothes, which should have been firm The area of his abdominal muscles was wrapped with dense bandages, and Fu Mingshao lightly rubbed the texture of the fabric with his fingertips.
By the time he touched Lu Guan's hot chest, the single clothes had been lifted up, revealing a strong and thin waist.Fu Mingshao suddenly raised his head to look at Lu Guan's face as if he felt something, his sleeping face was still there, Fu Mingshao stuffed his exhausted body into the quilt, hugged Lu Guan's arm sideways, and pressed his face on his shoulder , closed his eyes, and soon opened them again.
While pulling Lu Guan's arm, Fu Mingshao raised his head, so that Lu Guan's arm went around the back of his neck and hung down his shoulders, then he closed his eyes and fell asleep in Lu Guan's arms.
It was extremely difficult for Fu Mingshao to fall asleep, but he snored lightly in just a few breaths.
Lu Guan opened his eyes, kept his body still, rolled his eyes lightly, and glanced at Fu Mingshao, then his eyes fell on the top of the bed, and waited for half an hour before he gently lifted Fu Mingshao's head from his shoulder. move away.
When the door opened, Sun Xiu bowed slightly, glanced into the bedroom, and signaled Lu Guan to follow.
Sun Xiu led Lu Guan into a side hall located in the northwest corner of the imperial palace hundreds of meters away from the sleeping hall. When the door was opened, a light lit up inside the hall.
Liu Suguang shook his hand, and threw the half-burned match into the iron box.
"Here we come." She looked at Lu Guan with her beautiful eyes, saluted slightly, then looked at Sun Xiu, and said in a low voice, "Zuo Zhengying's residence has been exposed. Eunuch Sun, your people are watching, but His Majesty's people are also watching." Now, if you really use your hands, even if you can gain the upper hand for a while, it will be of no use. Right now the capital is still under the control of Yu Linwei, Meng Honglin has pulled out many hidden stakes for you, and your father-in-law must be cautious. "
Sun Xiu sneered, with an indistinct curve on her lips, and narrowed her eyes: "You just need to do what you're told."
Liu Suguang blushed pretty, bit her lip, but didn't make a sound.
Lu Guandao: "Is there any news from Qizhou?"
Liu Suguang shook his head.
Sun Xiu stared at Lu Guan, bent her index finger and rapped on the table twice, her tone was cold: "The important thing is not Qizhou, but Zuo Zhengying, we can't let Zuo Zhengying fall into Fu Mingmao's hands. This Qin Yuning You idiot." Sun Xiu's nose flared, and a faint flesh-red line appeared on her finely powdered face.
Lu took a look at Sun Xiu.
Sun Xiu immediately stopped talking, he took a deep breath, and stretched his brows like a centipede.
"Where are my clothes?" Lu Guan asked out loud.
Liu Suguang went over with the lamp in hand, and the eunuch uniform given to Lu Guanbei was on the couch.
Lu Guankuan took off his unlined clothes.
Liu Suguang looked away from the man's strong shoulders, put down her palms, the bead curtains rustled, and her voice was as soft as a cluster of lights that were about to be extinguished at any time.
"When you need me to work, what is your father-in-law?"
"Of course someone from me is looking for you. There is no rush. Did Li Mingchang look for you yesterday? What does he want you to do?"
"This father-in-law doesn't need to know." Liu Suguang lowered his voice.
Lu Guan raised his head slightly, put on his hat, turned his face sideways, and moved his ears slightly.
Sun Xiu: "Recovered a life from Li Mingchang?"
Liu Suguang did not answer.
Lu Guan was dressed neatly and came out from the inner room, the two of them immediately stopped talking, Liu Suguang walked to the table, at some point he picked up the pick between his fingers, and scraped the wick a little brighter.
"Lord Lu, be careful, and avoid the Qilin Guards." Liu Suguang gave Lu Guan two tubes of prepared medicine powder, and Lu Guan put them in his sleeves, tightened his cuffs, and left.
Liu Suguang let out a sigh of relief, sat down, and poured a cup of tea in a daze.
"In front of the emperor, you also look like this lost soul?" Sun Xiu said.
Liu Suguang said coldly: "Eunuch Sun, you have your goals, and I have mine. We all happen to be walking on the same path, and we will each go our own way in the future, so don't you need to be too strict?"
Sun Xiu gritted her teeth and said, "If something bad happens, our family won't care if you are Li Qiande's foster daughter."
Liu Suguang didn't speak, but his face turned paler.
·
Lu Guan took the ox cart that left the palace to transport water in the middle of the night, separated from the people sent by Sun Xiu, and went straight to Qin Yuning's mansion.
On the way, Lu Guan didn't find anyone following him, nor did he see any suspicious people following Qin Yuning's mansion.Lu Guan thought to himself, probably the few Qilin guards were sent to Zuo Zhengying tonight.
The light in Qin Yuning's study was still on, there was a coughing sound, and someone whispered inside. A moment later, a woman came out with a maid, glanced sideways at the door, sighed and shook her head, and left with the help of the maid.
Hearing the knock on the door, Qin Yuning thought it was his wife again, and suddenly frowned. He took a deep breath, put down his pen, and went to open the door helplessly.
The face in the crack of the door made Qin Yuning's eyes widen suddenly. His first reaction was to close the door, but he was suddenly pushed back two steps by a strong force, and then he was thrown against the door.
Lu Guan put one hand on Qin Yuning's back, and despite his strength, he didn't make too much noise.
Qin Yuning was dizzy for a while, gasped for a while, and asked with difficulty: "Why are you here, what kind of clothes are you wearing..." After a pause, Qin Yuning felt his scalp go numb, "Is there someone in the palace to meet you? What does the Queen Mother want to do?"
"Master Qin asked so many questions, can you answer me a question first."
Qin Yuning's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I know what you're going to ask, I betrayed Li Xuan's whereabouts, and I don't regret doing this."
Lu Guandao: "My lord, have you forgotten your former teacher?"
Qin Yuning's eyes were red, he coughed twice, and said with a smile: "It is precisely because I have never forgotten my former teacher that I want to kill demons for Da Chu Zhengtong."
"Master Qin, what is orthodoxy?"
"..." Qin Yuning took a sharp breath of cold air into his lungs, his face turned pale, "Fu's bloodline, the late emperor's edict, the emperor was ordered by the heavens, and the king's way was to be followed in the world. The orthodox emperor."
Lu Guan looked at Qin Yuning seriously, and said calmly: "If the blood of the Fu family and the edict of the first emperor are all fake?"
Qin Yuning's face stiffened instantly, and a slight twitch shook his cheeks.
"Wuzhi Lizi, what nonsense are you talking about?!" Qin Yuning exerted a little bit of weak strength of a civil servant, which was like an ant shaking a tree. He couldn't make Lu Guan retreat an inch, but instead he gasped frequently.
"I'm not rebellious or lying. Master Qin only needs to write a letter to ask Song Qianzhi for verification, and he will immediately know that what this junior said is true."
Qin Yuning's eyes were wide open, and after a while, he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Zhu Xing is deceived by others."
"Li Xuan has the edict of the late emperor in his hand, and the authentic works of the late emperor. Lord Qin naturally knows more than me, a younger generation. If the lord hadn't sold Li Xuan's treasury to the court, the lord would have been able to witness the edict of the late emperor with his own eyes. Why use the younger generation? It’s a waste of words. In black and white, as long as you take a pair of imperial edicts from the late emperor’s time, it’s clear at a glance whether it’s true or false.”
Sweat dripped from Qin Yuning's forehead, he opened his mouth, his lips were trembling: "...the handwriting may not be fake."
"What about Yuxi?"
Qin Yuning was silent.
The jade seals used by the great Chu emperors vary from generation to generation, and there are iron mirrors that can be verified. The six ministers, the prime minister's mansion, and the highest officials of the Yushi Temple are each in charge of an iron mirror.Even if Qin Yuning kills him alone, it's useless.
Qin Yuning's legs were weak, and the weight of his whole body was piled on Lu Guan's arms. Lu Guan vigorously pulled him around, and Qin Yuning sat in the chair in a daze. He pursed his lips and did not speak for a long time.
Lu Guan moved to the desk, and saw Qin Yuning's desk piled up with military books and military newspapers, civil servants' art of war, and thousands of ingenious tricks on paper, which were no match for the ever-changing changes on the battlefield.The chaotic pile of paper balls also reveals the restlessness of the owner.
"Master Qin already knew many things." Lu Guan whispered.
Qin Yuning closed his eyes, and asked Lu Guan tremblingly, "Your internal response in the palace is Jiang Meng, right?"
Did not hear Lu Guan's answer, Qin Yuning smiled wryly and said to himself: "The daughter of the Zhou family, is she a thing in the pond?"
"It's not Jiang Meng."
Qin Yuning was obviously taken aback, his opened eyes were full of suspicion and fear.It is no secret among the important ministers that the empress dowager is at odds with the emperor, but the internal response is not from the empress dowager. That means there are forces hidden within the palace walls that Qin Yuning does not even know about.
"The younger generation thinks that Mr. Qin is a man of insight who cares about all people. He never thought that the number one in your heart is also the head on the neck and the beast on the robe."
"Lu Guan!"
Lu Guan dodged the flying teacup, and it shattered on the ground with a bang.
No one in the Qin Mansion, which was completely silent, dared to come and see, they only thought that the master was just like the old days and nights, venting his anger after reading the distressing military newspaper.
Qin Yuning couldn't stop panting, but he couldn't scold more with his slightly opened mouth.
Did he do all this for the sake of the Fu surname, for the nameless people, or for himself?
This last thought burrowed into my heart like a poisonous insect, it first bit open a small mouth.
Qin Yuning's eyelids twitched endlessly.
Then drill into his heart.
Qin Yuning's face was pale, and he said: "You are as clever as you are, and I am worthy of heaven and king. You can go, I have never seen you tonight."
Lu Guan looked at Qin Yuning silently, and untied a small burden, which was also made of green cloth, which was integrated with the eunuch's uniform on his body.
Things hit the table.
The sound made Qin Yuning's eyelids twitch.
"What is this?" Qin Yuning clenched the armrest tightly with one hand, his muscles tensed.
"My lord, please open it."
Qin Yuning stretched out his trembling right hand, retracted it abruptly, and grabbed the armrest of the chair tightly again, turning his face away.
"Take it!"
"My lord Qin has forgotten how he was forced to join Mrs. Zhou's family because of poverty and hunger and cold, and how he received a meal from the second lady of the Zhou family. Since the eldest grandson of the Zhou family, Fu Minghong, the prince of Chu, died unexpectedly. He went to the harem, you How did your master Taifu deal with you. Master Qin, you are a scholar from a poor family, not a wealthy family. To be able to become a minister of the Ministry of War, it is natural to rely on your lord's poor window for ten years. However, the people of the poor family in the world are like crucian carp crossing the river , Mr. Qin has today, kowtow three times to the memorial tablet of his benefactor as a reward, is it not too much for this junior?"
Qin Yuning's throat was dry, he glanced at Lu Guan in surprise, and kept convincing himself that it was impossible, the Zhou family had been overthrown for many years, the Andinghou's mansion was burned, the queen mother was trapped in the palace, why did the Zhou family come to the ancestral temple for shelter.
Qin Yuning couldn't control his left hand, and his skinny fingers picked a corner from the fur.
The red characters on the black background, revealing little by little, are the former number one surname in the court.
Qin Yuning's face was pale, and he sat slumped in the chair, and the chair leg scratched the ground with a sharp sound.
"Lord Qin, can you say it again, in your life, you have lived up to the heavens and down to the king."
"I……"
"Song Qianzhi is a descendant of the Zhou family, and he is in the same line as your mentor. If you hadn't bullied him when he was young, relying on yourself as Zhou Taifu's favorite student, helping the evil, and steering the helm and lamp for the innocent king, why didn't you dare to take the tablet of your mentor? Serve upright and offer three sticks of incense?"
Suddenly a gust of cold wind swept the ground.
The chair crashed to the ground, Qin Yuning jumped up, one foot was hit, his face twitched in pain, but he didn't say a word.
In the end, Qin Yuning let out two long breaths, and sighed: "Ignorant boy, I never believe in the theory of ghosts and gods. Even if my teacher is alive, I can argue."
Lu Guan nodded: "Your Excellency is the master's apprentice."
Qin Yuning's eyes calmed down, his thumb pressed against the corner of his lips, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on his face.
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" He calmly took out the ranking of mentors from the bag, wiped his sleeves, and couldn't look away for a long time.
Until Lu Guan's words came to his ears.
The author has something to say: I'm back~~~~~ Quiet Mimi resumes updating =. =
☆, back to Beijing (one)
After Lu Guan left, Qin Yuning sat in a chair in a daze.The erratic light rain outside the window did not know when it started to ring, and the wind and rain beat on the window lattice, making a bang.
Qin Yuning stroked the teacher's tablet on the case with his thumb, and couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
What Lu Guan meant was that after Fu Mingshao was assassinated, he should keep his funeral secret, whitewash the peace, stabilize the situation in the capital, and wait for Bai Guyou to bring Li Xuan back to the capital.Qizhou not only has Bai Guyou's army, but also the Dongming King who has been dormant for many years, and is in danger in the court. I am afraid that these people have already moved their minds about whether they should move or not.
Qin Yuning flicked his fingers unconsciously.
A pair of Suihan Three Friends hanging on the wall came into view, Qin Yuning looked far away, snapped the tablet on the table, stood tall, straightened the crumpled southern silk skirt on his body, stomped his feet, and called the servant The maid changed his clothes for him.
He wanted to enter the palace before dawn to remind the emperor to beware of Lu Guan.
Just as Qin Yuning stepped out of the mansion, the sedan chair was lowered in front of him. In the heavy rain, Qin Yuning was stunned for a moment. At home, he often held a broken umbrella that was crooked by the heavy rain and shouted loudly. He rushed forward: "Master, master, something is wrong."
Qin Yuning signaled Chang Sui to come over with his head bowed.
Amidst the pattering rain, wet and cold words reached Qin Yuning's ears.
"Old Mr. Zuo Zhengying was stabbed in the mansion."
·
In the early morning of the next day, in the sleeping hall.
"Both the old couple were stabbed, and their bodies were hacked beyond recognition by the murderer." Sun Xiu said to Lu Guan.
Lu took a look at Sun Xiu: "Zuo Zhengying is not dead."
"I just don't know where it is." Sun Xiu was not surprised.
The two of them knew very well that no matter Fu Mingmao's subordinates or Qilinwei, if they wanted to kill two helpless elders, they could kill them with one blow without leaving any traces.
Lu Guan remained silent.
Sun Xiu stared at him meaningfully, and asked if Lu Guan persuaded Qin Yuning last night.
Lu Guanyan hesitated: "Qin Yuning has already panicked. Ever since he became Minister of the Ministry of War, the emperor has been Fu Mingshao. In his heart, the late Emperor Rongzong is certainly not as good as Fu Mingshao. Eunuch Sun also knows that Fu Mingshao Mingshao had doubts about the veterans of the former dynasty, but he relied heavily on Qin Yuning. In addition to the invasion of Hei Di, Fu Mingshao tightened his control over the Ministry of War, and Qin Yuning was able to go in and out of Chengyuan Hall from time to time. Lintai was withered, and Fu Mingshao had no one It can be said that Fu Mingshao did not dare to trust the old ministers who were already in high positions when Rongzong was there, even if they were loyal to them wholeheartedly. He was not trusted and loved by Rongzong when he was the sixth prince. Ascension to the throne is shrouded in the shadow of the Queen Mother and the Right Prime Minister. It is not that Fu Mingshao wants to exercise power, but only when he truly holds power in his hands can he have a moment of peace."
Lu Guan paused for a moment, and continued: "So Qin Yuning has both elder care for Fu Mingshao and respect for the royal power. It may not be successful to rely on Zhou Taifu's teacher's kindness to ask him to repay him."
"He is young and ambitious." Sun Xiu said coldly.
Lu Guan naturally knew that Sun Xiu was loyal to Rongzong and was full of disdain for Qin Yuning who wanted to repay Fu Mingshao's kindness.
"Qin Yuning sits in the Ministry of War and hasn't had any serious problems for many years. Heidi came to the gate, and he is also guarding the capital. His wisdom and courage cannot be underestimated. It's just different. No matter how much kindness Zhou Taifu has shown him, after all, there is no one in the Zhou family. With a bit of power and deterrence, a mediocre person may be able to frighten him, but he cannot be frightened."
"Is this move so useless?"
"No." Lu Guan said, "I have told him all the inside information about the turmoil in the court this year. Since it was calm last night, now that Zuo Zhengying died tragically, Qin Yuning would never dare to act rashly."
Sun Xiu pondered for a moment, and said: "The Qilin Guard was seized precisely because of his exposure. If something happened to Zuo Zhengying, the first thing he would think of would be the emperor's action. Now the emperor can dispatch the Habayashi Guard publicly, and he can use it secretly. Only Qilinwei, Qilinwei was reused again, Qin Yuning also had to weigh whether his words would win the emperor's trust, or Qilinwei would win the emperor's trust more."
Lu Guan didn't mention Qin Yuning any more, he asked Sun Xiu to let his people pay more attention to the wound medicine given to him.
Sun Xiu promised Lu Guan to find a good doctor from outside the palace, read his prescription, and find a way to bring him the wound medicine privately within a few days.
"Don't be in a hurry. If you are injured, you need to rest. Besides, my lord should know that staying in the palace is more useful to the young master than leaving the palace."
Lu Guan's eyes flashed, but he didn't answer.
Sun Xiu tactfully retreated.
Lu Guan opened his robe, sat cross-legged on the couch, and glanced at the furnishings in the dormitory aimlessly, and saw the magnificent, gold and silver objects, glass bead curtains, all a piece of cold and crisp shell.He hooked his little finger flexibly, and the end of the red string was tied with the jade pendant that had been ironed by his body. Lu Guan held the jade pendant between his lips, closed his robe for a long time, got up and walked out of the bedroom.
·
And as Lu Guan expected, Zuo Zhengying was visiting Li Yeyuan's other courtyard, and his wife took care of his daily life. Fu Mingmao came to see Zuo Zhengying several times, and moved him with affection and reason.
Zuo Zhengying was unmoved, and Fu Mingmao did not force him.
At night, when Li Yeyuan returned to the other courtyard, Fu Mingmao was already waiting, and he was delighted to see that nothing happened on his face. Li Yeyuan took off his cloak, and a servant girl picked it up immediately. He washed his hands in the copper basin and wiped them with a handkerchief.
"The old man still refuses?"
Fu Mingmao: "I don't say yes, and I don't say no, I just don't want to write, saying it's because I'm too old to hold a pen."
Li Yeyuan wiped his hands, and said: "We can't wait for a few more days, the Zhenbei Army is about to go north, within these three or four days, you have to find a way to let him write."
"What about Yuxi?"
Li Yeyuan: "You don't need to worry about it. Just ask Zuo Zhengying to draw up an authentic copy of Rongzong's work, promise him a high official and a generous salary, and keep his students safe and sound in the court. In the future, the official career will continue to be prosperous. Don't be too eager, just like this The old man grinds, the most taboo is to lose patience."
Fu Mingmao smiled wryly: "It's only three or four days, and there's no way to wear it down slowly. Zuo Zhengying has no sons, and there is no one in the clan, so blackmailing him naturally won't work. He doesn't seem to care much about the future of the students. I have always had My question is, why is he in the capital?"
"Did you forget that there is Li Xuan?"
Fu Mingmao froze.
"It's also the fault of the truth. I didn't try my best to track down Wu Yingzhong's whereabouts these years, find out Li Xuan's identity, and cut the grass and roots early, so that future troubles will come." Li Yeyuan sat down wearily, and took a sip of ginseng tea.
Fu Mingmao hesitated for a moment, and said: "In order to persuade Song Qianzhi to join my camp, I let him know about Li Xuan's existence. But I don't know about Li Xuan's life experience, and it was a mistake."
Li Yeyuan shook his hand: "No matter what, Li Xuan is also a lunatic. Even if he entered the capital, he would not be able to sit in that seat. The queen mother wanted to support the youngest son of King Dongming, but I did not do it. It is difficult to protect her. Will not pass by others."
Fu Mingmao was stunned for a moment, and said with a broken smile: "I am the eldest son of the royal father, and the eldest son is still here. The royal son of the royal father has already passed away, so I deserve it."
"The queen mother always thinks that you killed her own son. There is no chance to untie this knot."
Fu Mingmao nodded understandingly: "Take your time in the future, if you really can't solve it, you don't need to solve it."
Li Yeyuan lowered his eyes and took another sip of tea.When Fu Mingmao came to the throne, the Empress Dowager Zhou was completely useless, and it didn't matter whether she believed it or not.Tonight Li Yeyuan entered the palace to meet the Queen Mother Zhou, the Queen Mother got angry at him, and before staying for a while, Li Yeyuan found an excuse to leave the palace.
"In short, to Zuo Zhengying, you have to be soft-spoken and persuasive. His students can still be used by you. This group of courtiers don't need to be replaced within five years. If you don't worry about using them, you can take it easy. Thank you Enke Select talents. But your foundation is not stable when you first become a great treasure, and your mother's family is a foreigner, so remember not to be too eager."
Fu Mingmao snorted: "I have waited for this opportunity for so many years, don't worry, I can wait for the lessons learned from the past."
Li Yeyuan smiled gratifiedly, stretched out his hand to pat Fu Mingmao's shoulder, got up and changed his clothes: "I'll go and see Zijin."
"I haven't congratulated Uncle Li yet."
Li Yeyuan was taken aback for a moment, his eyes flashed with excitement.
"Thanks to the eldest prince."
"I'm old enough to be a child, it should be my good fortune to be with Uncle Li."
Li Yeyuan didn't say any more, and the pace of leaving was obviously quickened.
The smile on Fu Mingmao's lips disappeared, his brows furrowed, he went out to find Zuo Zhengying, and ordered his confidants to fetch a pair of rare and precious cold and warm jade chess sets.When Zuo Zhengying was an official in the court, he was good at playing chess. Fu Mingmao was going to work on this aspect to see if he could pry Zuo Zhengying's hand away.
·
The sky was gloomy, and a rickety carriage galloped forward in the light rain, passing through a neat forest more than ten meters high.
The coachman kept yelling, and the whip mercilessly urged the horse to gallop.
"Mother." The violent bumps made the young man cry out in panic.
Princess Dongming quickly hugged her son in her arms, and the gentle fragrance of her body soothed the tense nerves of the young man.
The princess leaned against the car window, the curtains were constantly lifted by the wind, she saw through the gap that there were no accompanying people around, she frowned, slammed on the door panel, and shouted: "Stop!"
The carriage slowed down, but did not stop moving forward.
Princess Dongming helped her son sit up, and whispered to him: "Don't be afraid, mother, go out and have a look."
Just when the princess put her hand on the car door, her fingers were suddenly wrapped by her son's warm and soft palm.
"Mother sit down, my son will go and see."
Princess Dongming didn't have time to object, and was pressed down by her son. The boy opened the car door very quickly, and while Princess Dongming was in a panic, he put on a princely air and asked, "My concubine's mother told you to stop, and you still don't stop the carriage!"
Two black horses appeared in the jungle and approached the carriage.
Princess Dongming felt relieved and tugged at her son.
The boy gave his mother a puzzled look.
Two black horses crossed in front of the carriage, forcing the carriage to stop, the guard scolded his head and face, and the coachman admitted his mistake insensitively.
"What orders does the lord have? The subordinates are waiting in the dark to protect the lord, but please sit at ease." The head of the guard saluted.
The young man's voice was loud: "This king is hungry, how long will it take to reach the town?"
The guard wanted to take out his dry food.
A woman's voice came from inside the car: "The little prince is spoiled and spoiled. He doesn't eat any old eggs, and he doesn't eat any fishy meat. If he can't chew ordinary pork and beef, he won't be able to eat well. If he can't eat well, the little prince will sleep." Not good, it will take a few days to say the least, my son will be hungry and thin, I will not cover it up for you, and I will report it truthfully."
The guards looked at each other in blank dismay, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and report that after half an hour, they would find a place to stay and live in the inn.
The sun sank little by little, and the sky was dyed into a purple red silk by the rays of the sun.
The carriage continued on the road, but the bumps were not so severe. Princess Dongming's hand was always held in his son's palm, and her face gradually blurred into an elegant and calm silhouette in the gradually enveloping twilight.
"Mother." The boy's voice revealed anxiety.
Princess Dongming touched the back of her son's hand, and was about to comfort her son softly when she heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
Princess Dongming glanced at her son blankly.
The young man's face was pale, his lips were trembling, and he was looking at the car window vigilantly.
There were several heavy landings.
The body of the carriage bumped inconspicuously, as if the front wheel of the carriage had run over an abrupt stone and deflected, and was pulled back to the right path by the driver.
Princess Dongming listened quietly for a while, then fixedly looked at the car door in front of her, her eyelashes flickered, and glanced at her son, the boy pulled the car door hard.
Sitting in front of him was a thin figure in white clothes, with one foot flexed gracefully, his head slightly tilted, and he poked out the straw that was in his mouth.
"Little prince and concubine, I'm frightened. It's getting late. Let's go to the town to settle down and wait for General Bai's troops to pick us up. What do you two think?"
The boy stared at his profile in fascination.
Princess Dongming pursed her lips, pressed her hand lightly on her chest, panted and said, "Your Majesty, thank you."
Song Qianzhi smiled happily, and kicked the horse's butt with his boot, just to urge him, not to kill him.
☆, back to Beijing ([-])
The unremarkable carriage drove into a back alley, Song Qianzhi grabbed the horse's head, jumped off the shaft, held the rein with one hand, patted the horse's neck with the other hand, and opened the door.
Princess Dongming wrapped her arms around her son, maintaining a dozing posture with her head down. She opened her eyes and patted her son's upper arm with one hand.
The boy woke up rubbing his eyes, glanced at Song Qianzhi, and buried his head in his mother's arms.
The conditions of the hotels in the town were mediocre, the air in the room was filled with a musty smell, the waiter who held the lamp followed behind the three of them, yawning wearily.
"This is the upper room, who is the key to?"
Song Qianzhi motioned to the princess.
The little prince was embarrassed to sleep with his mother and concubine, so he followed Song Qianzhi to another room, and when he entered the door, he poked his head around, stretched his neck and sneezed.
From Song Qianzhi's point of view.
The boy shrunk his neck and rubbed his nose, opened his mouth, but was embarrassed to speak.
That night Song Qianzhi seemed to have fallen asleep as soon as he went to bed, but just as the young man got off the ground, Song Qianzhi's voice sounded behind him: "Where is the little prince going?"
The teenager is just going to urinate.
Facing the shabby and shabby old wooden barrels in a strange place, the splashing sound that should have been flowing down became drizzling.
"Master Song..." The young man came out blushing, and slipped his pants.
"Your Majesty has already dismissed me as an official. Your Excellency should stop calling, let alone you are a prince." Song Qianzhi smiled and said, "I don't know if there are any other people in the palace to watch over your mother and son. Be careful."
The little prince nodded in understanding.
Back in the room, the little prince slept on the bed, and Song Qianzhi slept on the "couch" made of three stools.
The young man asked in a childish voice: "I have been in Qizhou for ten years, and no one in the palace has ever thought of our mother and child. The empress dowager sent someone to pick us up. Do you have any orders?"
Song Qianzhi: "What does the little prince think?"
"I am still young, and my mother and concubine did not let me care too much about government affairs. They only told me to study hard and learn riding and archery from my master. The mother and concubine said that I founded the country of Great Chu and ruled the world with riding and shooting. In the future, I will at least sit in the fiefdom. Martial arts are not enough. It depends on the implementation of benevolent government, and the family will be safe if it wins the hearts of the people. The meaning of the mother and concubine is that as long as the fiefdom is managed well, the emperor will worry about the world's plans. As long as the clan's children manage themselves well and sharpen themselves, they will be useful in the court It is time to stand up and be worthy of the royal family and ancestors." The young man blinked, "Maybe the court needs me."
Song Qianzhi was silent for a moment.
Although he couldn't see Song Qianzhi's face, the young man felt that Song Qianzhi was looking at him, and his head turned towards Song Qianzhi, resting on the back of one hand. For this young man who came to rescue him and his mother, the young man Feel very cordial.
"The princess is a sensible person, and the queen mother is my aunt. I probably know a thing or two about her thoughts. But," Song Qianzhi paused, his eyes caught a glimmer of light, which was the eyes of a young man, " The little prince is a descendant of the Fu surname, do you have the idea of touching more than ten thousand people?"
The shimmer trembled for a moment.
"I am too young, and when my father was around, I was just an idle prince. I have the honor to inherit the title of my father. I am already blessed with great grace, and I am deeply favored by the late emperor. How dare I have the heart of disobedience."
Song Qianzhi stared deeply at the young man, his eyes adapted to the darkness of the room, and he knew that the same was true for King Xiao Dongming.
The silence made the young man feel irritable, his feet kept rubbing against each other under the quilt, he grasped the edge of the quilt with his hands, and the hot breath piled up on his neck, making his chin feel hot as well.
"It's not good to be an emperor. You are being plotted by others every day, and you have to worry about the world's major affairs. If a foreign country invades, you may have to drive yourself to conquer the world. It's good to win, but if you lose, it will be bad for a long time. Bad luck. If the enemy's capture is worse, there will be a tragic death in the enemy camp. The common people live a good life. During the festivals, they burn incense to the Kitchen God and the City God, and worship the ancestor gods during Qingming. Last year's calamity year, there will be rumors everywhere, secretly saying that the emperor is not the son of destiny, because the seasons are out of order, and the people are not in harmony."
