How many buildings are in the mist

"What do you mean I think too much?! Cui Xiang, why don't I think too much?! Cui Xiang, let me talk about it, why did I stop discussing the news of repayment in the court?! Whose ambition do I want to grow? Afraid of causing trouble Bo Lan, you have to cover up your crimes? If I really do this, the news will still be spread, wouldn’t I be with the bastard?! What did I say at the farewell ceremony, huh?! You are also present, Sang Cui, Do I want to go against what I said? What do you mean don’t say it now and settle accounts later? If you don’t make it public in time, let these treacherous officials and thieves think that they can be fooled for a while, the situation will only become more unfavorable! If I do this, it will be against the law of heaven. Lightning strikes the pillar of the palace gate {130}, God condemns me, and I will issue an edict of guilt again?! Cui Xiang, I always thought that you understand me, you can understand my painstaking efforts, and you can support me. Now I am afraid I have to change this view. Did you send Xuanji to Zhen’s side to facilitate you to monitor my actions and ask her to report back to you so that you can judge my thoughts and decide how to deal with it? Now I haven't told anyone about this, so you were caught off guard? Huh?!"

Cui Xuanji never heard Cui Yi's answer.I don't know if it's because Cui Yi's voice is too low, or she is too focused on Feng Zihuan's angry words.If Feng Zihuan asked her like this, what would she say?It seemed that she could no longer lie to Feng Zihuan and would tell the truth.Yes, I was sent to you, for the purpose of protecting you and monitoring you, and now I am also trying to play the role of exhortation.No matter how I defend myself, I can't get out of the range you set. I pleaded guilty before you gave me a sentence. The charge has not been written on the charge sheet, and I have already signed my fingerprints.

It seemed to hear Feng Zizhang mediating, and then there was no sound for a long while.Cui Xuanji then walked in.

Because of her appearance, the three of them felt a little embarrassed, Feng Zihuan ordered the two of them to go, and it seemed that he did not accept Cui Yi's suggestion.Then turn to quietly correcting the memorials.Until it was dark, she never said a word to Cui Xuanji, and Cui Xuanji didn't even look at her.At the end, Feng Zihuan reached out to grab the teacup, but knocked the teacup over, and the teacup shattered. Cui Xuanji immediately turned around when he heard the sound, "Your Majesty!"

Feng Zihuan woke up like a dream, sighed, looked at the broken body of the teacup, and asked the maids to clean it up. "It's okay. Let's pass on the meal." Cui Xuanji went back to stand again.Generally speaking, if she is not eating with the emperor, she is patrolling the entire palace.She was about to leave, but she slowed down, hoping to wait for Feng Zihuan to stop her.

Feng Zihuan also wanted to say something soft, but he didn't say it after all.So Cui Xuanji had no choice but to leave, saying that he was on patrol.The spring breeze is very warm, she can't feel it.

The starting point of the patrol was Feng Zihuan's bedroom, and so was the end point.When he was about to come back, a female officer suddenly ran over and said, Master Cui is back, and His Majesty wants to see you. "Okay, I'll be right there."

"Your Majesty." Feng Zihuan sat in the inner room reading a book as usual, but he was absent-minded. When he saw her coming, he immediately asked her to come and sit down.Cui Xuanji was obedient and obedient as always, sitting there quietly, but he didn't intentionally talk to Feng Zihuan; Feng Zihuan continued to hold the book in his hand, pretending that he was still reading.It was so quiet for a long time, the two of them were thinking about their own thoughts, but they didn't know that the other was also thinking about the same thing.

The candle is the most innocent and steadfast bystander in the room, and it makes no sound until the first candle tear falls.It thought that it was the quietest, but this time, Feng Zihuan looked up at it before the candle's tears solidified.Cui Xuanji's eyes were also attracted.Then, the eyes of the two met.

"Today's matter, I..." Feng Zihuan said it with difficulty, as if the words were against her will and were forced out of her heart, "I didn't mean it. I guess you heard it all, I hope you don't want to wait Go with your heart."

Cui Xuanji had no choice but to say "yes".

"I was furious for a while, I shouldn't be like that, playing a child's temper. It's wrong that Cui Xiang didn't say anything, and it hurt you."

"No, His Majesty did not implicate me."

"Xuanji."

"Your Majesty is very clear about what I have done, and I understand it too."

I also understand His Majesty's feelings for me.

Your Majesty may never understand my feelings for His Majesty.

"I just don't want to compromise, not at all. I have compromised for so many years, and nothing is good. It is just a waste of time and power for the country and the people. I can't compromise anymore. This time, I must finish it and do it well. Xuan lonely……"

"His Majesty."

Cui Xuanji looked up and saw Feng Zihuan's serious and tired expression.

"Do you support me?"

Feng Zihuan actually felt so helpless.

Cui Xuanji could almost die for her, and he could do it now.

"of course."

Seven days later, Chen Tong, who was sent as an urgent dispatch of eight hundred miles, saw his son in the court hall.In front of all the officials, he had no choice but to kowtow first to apologize, then beat his son until he bled.Feng Zihuan's anger subsided a little, and he didn't want to embarrass him any more, so he gave Chen Tong a light sentence, and only took half a year's salary from him as punishment for his incompetence in teaching his son; as for this unfilial and immoral son, he was given a heavy punishment. , not only confiscated many of his illegal gains in Sanyin, but also prohibited him from holding any form of public office in the future-from court officials, local officials to guests of the shogunate, all are not allowed.It's like cutting off his future.As for the county magistrate who sheltered and indulged, he was punished and exiled; as for the slaves and tyrants who ran rampant in the village because they attached to the Chen family, those who were involved in the murder case were executed according to the law, and those who were not involved were exiled as slaves according to the law.All the land was confiscated except for those granted by the world.Feng Zihuan didn't ask if the court thought it was okay, she only asked Chen Tong about the land matter.Chen Tong naturally agreed.

After the court was over, Feng Zizhang went home and talked about it with Xie Yan, Xie Yan sighed: "Now I think there is only one best place for Chen Bo to go."

"where?"

"Let's become a monk."

"If such a person becomes a monk, doesn't he pollute the pure place of Buddhism?"

Xie Yan said with a smile: "You have to think from Chen Tong's point of view, it's fine for such a son to have no talent or virtue, but he still caused such a big disaster. Why not send him to a temple and lock him up."

Feng Zizhang also laughed, "If there is a calamity in the secular world, please ask the Buddha; if there is dross, throw it to the Buddha. You must have a pure and pious heart to worship the Buddha, this is not acceptable. But, speaking of it..."

"what?"

"My sister's temper is really bad recently."

"You said she scolded my aunt last time? Alas, His Majesty probably misjudged the situation, at least he thought too well."

"No, that's not the only reason. You don't know—"

"What, so?"

"My family has passed down martial arts. If you have cultivated to a certain level, you need to conform to your personality. Competitive, impulsive, irritable, passionate, all of these are fine. Those like me are not good. My sister is very suitable. These Character can strengthen the effect of internal strength, and the more profound the internal strength is cultivated, the more likely it will have a negative effect on character."

"So you suspect that His Majesty has been affected? But will it be affected if you don't exercise?"

"It does. In addition to inappropriate cultivation and obsession, it will also occur periodically. Once the outbreak occurs, it will easily lead to a flaming human nature and aggressive impulses."

"So, now is the cycle?"

Feng Zizhang shook his head, "I don't know when my sister's cycle is, she knows it herself, because it's something that can't be said to others."

"Even you didn't tell me?"

"Sister, I always don't tell her unless I ask her. When you see Cui Xuanji when you have time, remember to tell her about it."

"Tell her, you are afraid of her...?"

"It's always right to pay more attention. She can be the first to contact her sister, and if something happens, she can also be the first to help."

Xie Yan nodded and sighed again, "It's just that according to what you said, she was the first to contact, that is, the first to be affected."

"Yes, but what can I do now? She's going by herself. My sister scolded Cui Xiang that day, and I was thinking in my heart that Cui Xiang recommended Cui Xuanji at the beginning, and my sister chose it herself, and I can't say It's all Cui Xiang's fault, why didn't my sister do it on her own? The two of them have been so close for the past two years, could it be someone's wishful thinking? In this life, the greatest patience is patience, what do you think?"

Xie Yan stuffed a candied fruit into her mouth, "Myself."

Feng Zihuan, who thought that after the Chen family's father and son subdue the law, the family would calm down, was still wrong.After listening to the bad situation for several days, Feng Zihuan was trying to turn the pressure on the family, and the family resisted from time to time, so when he spoke sarcasticly in the court, on the morning of the last day of March, news suddenly came that he was sent to Lingling County The official and his party of three encountered heavy rain while sailing, and the boat capsized. Two of the three were killed and one was missing.The prefect of the county is leading the local officials to search desperately.Feng Zihuan couldn't remember who it was for a while, so he asked Feng Zizhang, and the answer was Peng Shu.Feng Zihuan was heartbroken first, and then asked about the specific situation, but he didn't report any more details.She immediately began to suspect that someone planned to murder Peng Shu. After all, it was only March and there was not much rain. How could the boat capsize when it suddenly encountered heavy rain?In any case, although he had great trust in the prefect of Lingling, Feng Zihuan was still afraid that he would encounter resistance, so he immediately ordered Cui Yi and Ting Wei to draw up a list later and send people to investigate.There was a team starting from Jiankang that night.

Unexpectedly, the next day, the other report sent back was written by an official of the poor family and an official of the family.In the report, the two accused each other of interfering with the investigation. The poor family official said that Shen of the aristocratic family colluded with several local families, deceived himself to a banquet, and poisoned himself, causing him to lie in bed for several days, and bought time to destroy the evidence; The aristocratic family said that Ma, who was from a poor family, was obviously greedy for food and dissatisfied with the environment, and now he is biting back.They quarreled with each other in the paperwork, and it was not much better in court.From arguing what is right and what is wrong to arguing that the poor family accused the family of being slanderous, Feng Zihuan was almost given a headache by their quarrel. He wanted to angrily reprimand that the character of the family had been completely ruined in recent days, but he was afraid of tearing his face too early.Fortunately, it was Feng Zizhang who said, since all the adults feel that they have been wronged, why not go with someone else?If you are noisy and noisy, you won't be able to recruit them back, and you won't be willing to do this job. Wouldn't it be a waste of humiliation to put them there?The people who said it were speechless, and they knew that even if Ma was replaced, the rest would be a group of strict guys, which might not be beneficial, so they could only accept this suggestion.

Feng Zihuan was in the palace, waiting for the results of the investigation all day, so naturally he couldn't wait.There is no new news, the old emperor hates himself so much at this time that he can only sit and wait in the palace.Cui Xuanji was afraid that she would be troubled by his own anger, so he specially negotiated with Zhu Xianwan, and asked Dou Shangshi to pay more attention to the emperor's diet.As for herself, she carefully looked for opportunities to appease Feng Zihuan.After listening to her words, Feng Zihuan occasionally felt a little relieved, and sometimes felt impatient. In order to vent this irritability, Feng Zihuan often challenged her to martial arts competitions, thinking that if he vented his energy, he would not feel burning when he was tired. Like anxious.Cui Xuanji agreed that no matter what Feng Zihuan asked her for, she would satisfy it.Feng Zihuan asked her to find her own weakness, attacking herself like an assassin.She said yes.Feng Zihuan forbade her not to draw the sword, and she was not allowed to use a wooden stick instead, saying that I have already drawn the sword, but you don't use a sword, whether you respect your opponent or not, what if you get hurt?

I'd rather be stabbed to death by you than hurt you, that's all.

After fighting for several days, Cui Xuanji exerted all his strength and ability, and finally made Feng Zihuan feel the satisfaction of meeting his opponent. After the two rested, Feng Zihuan gasped and said, "You have been fighting with me for so long. It will happen in half a year. You are already the most familiar person in the world with my moves... If you want to kill me in the future, it can be said to be a piece of cake."

Cui Xuanji was so tired that he could hardly speak. At this time, he barely stood up and propped himself on the ground with a knife, "I won't, never...will...Don't worry, Your Majesty." After speaking, he bent down again tired.

Feng Zihuan stared at her with mixed thoughts in his mind, like an ancient temple on a barren mountain surrounded by vines and towering trees.

I don't know if I can get happiness in this life, Xuanji, and I don't know if I'm qualified to possess you.I understand that you are interested in me, and I also understand that I am gradually getting used to the days when you are by my side, and I probably cannot live without you.But if this continues, where can you and I reach?After Xianzhi left, I was addicted to sadness, and I put all my emotions on the child.Now maybe I can no longer focus like that.But as a king, I also have something to do, and I should leave myself to the country, not to another person.But I brought you into these vortex, I should push you to leave, but I can't, in any level, I can't leave you now.

Forget it, let's talk after these things are over.

By the time they're all over, or we can have a good, a good...

"Let's go, I'm tired, let's go to rest and have a good meal."

A few days later, the investigation results did not come, but another murder case was waiting.Yang Liang, who was assigned to Wuling, did not get rid of the fate predicted by Xie Yan, and was murdered in the official office where the two lived together with the colleagues Feng Zizhang had worked so hard to choose for him.The whereabouts of an accompanying military attache is unknown.When Feng Zihuan heard the news in the court hall, she didn't say a word, her face was expressionless. Those who had been with her for a long time, such as Cui Yi, Feng Zizhang and Gu Heng, could already feel her anger.The more silent you are, the angrier you get.

She stood up, and slowly ordered Ting Wei to send his deputy to go down to investigate in person and bring the people from Dali Temple.She also passed on her will that if there is an obstacle, the investigators are allowed to detain the person on the spot and escort him to Beijing, because murdering an official of the court is regarded as conspiracy, and obstructing the investigation and treason is regarded as an accomplice.Someone wanted to speak out and protest, but she killed her with a sharp knife.When the court was over, the officials saw her turn around and knelt down. Unexpectedly, there was a loud noise. Looking back, she picked up the emperor's case and slapped it to the outside of the hall. Even the stone pillars have cracks.

She didn't say a few words that day, even if Cui Xuanji wanted to ask questions, she only gave short answers, which made Cui Xuanji unable to comfort her.It was like this for several days.Cui Xuanji dared to ask her how she was going, but she just shook her head and didn't even ask Cui Xuanji what she thought.Cui Xuanji looked at her figure, as if seeing her heartbroken, but he could only stand there helplessly, keeping a distance from her.After all, if she doesn't take the initiative, who can force her.

The military officer who escaped from clinker actually ran back to Jiankang five days later.He ran directly to the gate of the Habayashi Army's camp, looking for General Zhonglang for help, and only telling the truth after seeing His Majesty.The kid who announced was a little louder, and was heard by the officials and Feng Zihuan who were arguing in the court hall, so the survivor had to be brought up.

With ragged clothes and chapped lips, he said in a hoarse voice in the court hall that the two adults were both killed by the Xiang family in Wuling County. The minister escaped desperately and returned to the capital to sue the imperial court.Gu Heng sternly asked him if he had evidence. The military officer not only explained the incident in detail, but also took out the jade pendant of Xiang's parent, Sun Xiangxi, saying that he had dragged it off during the fight, and that it was a family heirloom jade pendant. There are three scars left by him, which can be confronted face to face.He also injured six domestic slaves, and they also had wounds, which can be confronted.

Feng Zihuan stood up, looked at the wound on the military officer's forehead, and clenched his molars.At that time Cui Xuanji said, Your Majesty, I chose one of my best subordinates for Yang Liang.So the best subordinate fled back, and Yang Liang was decapitated.

"Habayashi Zhonglang General Cui Xuanji listened to the order: Take this military officer away, so that he can protect him and live in the Habayashi Army camp. At the same time, he will draw people from the Habayashi Army and Dali Temple, and you will lead him tonight The team went to Wuling County and brought Xiang Xi, his father Xiang Qiang and all the slaves involved in the incident, and detained them on the spot at the same door of the Xiang family. It is convenient for you to pass on my order. If anyone refuses to obey, he can be killed immediately , princes, nobles, and patriarchs of the family are no exception."

Cui Xuanji knew that this move was too radical, but he didn't know how to speak out, so someone else came forward.Unexpectedly, just after saying "Your Majesty, I don't think so", Feng Zihuan replied: "Murdering an official of the court is treason, hindering the investigation and rebelling is regarded as an accomplice in treason, come here, and bring him into custody." go down."

Everyone panicked and stepped forward to intercede. The guards came up to escort the hapless guy, but also stood still.Feng Zihuan looked at it, "Forget it, leave the court."

Then he turned and left without looking back.

The author has something to say:

{130} According to historical records, after Lu Xun died of grief and anger after being repeatedly reprimanded by Sun Quan because of his involvement with the Communist Party in the dispute between the princes of Sun Quan, the lightning struck the pillars of the palace, which was considered a punishment from heaven.This is for chemical use.
