Has hurt the history of painting and bullied the king
Qi Yan got his wish to see Nangong Rang, and after many years, he saw the enemy of the entire grassland again.
At this time, Nangong Rang had already shown the appearance of a waning candle. Although he could barely sit on a chair, his rigid limbs and loose robes showed his physical condition.
Qi Yan took a deep look at Nangong Rang, flung up her robe and knelt in front of her enemy: "Chen Qi Yan, see Your Majesty."
Nangong Jingnv raised the conscious arm, and Nangong Jingnv said, "Get up." She put the pen and paper in front of Nangong Rang. Yan said it.
Nangong Rang glanced at Nangong Jingnu, who hit Wanfu, glanced at Qi Yan and then backed out.
Sijiu followed behind Nangong Jingnu with staggering footsteps, and brought the door to the bedroom from the outside.
It seems that the imperial court of the Wei Kingdom has really arrived at the moment of renewal, as if both Nangong Rang and Sijiu became old overnight.
The hall was very quiet, Qi Yan stood in the Nangong and kept her head down in silence.
Nangong Rang has changed a lot, and in Qi Yan's eyes, it's nothing but a breathing corpse.
In an instant, countless voices resounded in Qi Yan's heart, and she quickly settled her mind: Even if a person is inherently dead, the person who picks up the hammer and smashes the nails into Nangong's coffin must be herself.
Nangong let the same old turbid eyes stare at Qi Yan, and let out a heavy panting.
For so many years, he has not seen through the young man in front of him. Back then, when a strange beast entered a dream, Guan Tiansi said it was a good omen: a worthy minister would enter the court.
But Nangong Rang didn't like the feeling in the dream very much, plus the Taiwei's mansion wanted to marry his beloved daughter as a life-saving talisman, Nangong Rang facilitated this marriage after weighing it.
He even sacrificed his second daughter in order to shut the mouth of Taiwei Lu Quan.
Now it seems that what he wants to prevent is still happening. Qi Yan seems to be just like what Guan Tiansi said: he has become a pillar of the humerus in the court.
But Nangong Rang was still a little uneasy, and he couldn't say the reason for a while.
He is old, his body is not free for a day, his spirit is not good, he can't think clearly...
Nangong pondered for a long time, picked up the brush tremblingly, and wrote straight to the point: What do you think about the Empress
Qi Yan glanced briefly and lowered her head. After thinking for several breaths, she calmly replied, "This minister thinks it's inappropriate."
Hearing Qi Yan's answer, Nangong Rang was not surprised. He motioned Qi Yan to continue. The latter took a deep breath and raised his eyebrows sharply, his thin lips pressed together, and his amber eyes. There was an uncontrollable anger in his eyes.
Qi Yan: "There is no way out of this matter. If it fails, His Highness will be in danger, and she doesn't have to bear it. His Highness is a direct descendant of the princess. No matter which prince ascends the throne, as long as His Highness does not arbitrarily discuss political affairs and abide by the laws, The new emperor will never embarrass her, even if the reduction of food towns and fiefs is inevitable, it is enough to live in peace with His Highness's family."
Qi Yan had long been resentful about the Empress, but it was not the reasons she said. Once Nangong Jingnu becomes the emperor, she will become Qi Yan's number one enemy. At that time, all Qi Yan's calculations will be directed at the empress, which is not what Qi Yan wants to see.
She expressed her dissatisfaction in another way, but what she said was what Nangong wanted to hear.
Sure enough, a twisted smile appeared on Nangong Rang's lips, and Qi Yan's answer dispelled his last concerns.
I saw him continue to write and write: I understand the thoughts and conduct of these sons best. If the throne is passed to them, it will be difficult for my beloved daughter to die well, and it will be difficult to turn around when she becomes a fish in other days. It is better to give it a try.
With a "slap" sound, the writing brush dropped on the rice paper. Nangong made his expression a little sad. He gritted his teeth and picked up the writing brush again: With your intellect and talent, I believe this can be done.
Qi Yan raised her arms and bowed respectfully: "I respectfully follow His Majesty's will."
Nangong Rang nodded, and then heard Qi Yan say: "Presumably Your Majesty has expected what the minister wants to do."
Nangong Rang sighed, his cloudy eyes a little dull.
Qi Yanshun bowed her head and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty has a kind heart, but if you want to achieve great things, you must do some things. The minister would like to replace them. What does Your Majesty think?"
Nangong Rang picked up the brush and wrote: Accurate.
Qi Yan: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, if several princes are willing to cooperate, after the foundation of His Highness is solid, the minister will declare that His Highness still has the freedom of several princes, and the royal family of Nangong will continue to prosper."
Nangong Rang nodded, and Qi Yan said again: "In the future, the ministers and His Highness will have different opinions, so I would like to ask His Majesty to give the minister a will."
Nangong let him think for a moment, and wrote: "You step back first, let me think about it."
Qi Yan: "Yes."
At the moment when she carried Nangong Rang behind her back, Qi Yan laughed.
She has always been able to strictly control her emotions, and at this moment she lost her temper.
…
Early the next day, Nangong Jingnu received an imperial decree, and after thinking about it, she ordered Chen Chuansi to secretly invite Sijiu to accompany her to the court.
In the past few years, Si Jiu's health has not been very good, and he has gradually withdrawn from the court together with Nangong Rang.
While waiting for the summons in the side hall, Qi Yan deliberately observed Gongyanghuai, seeing that the other party was tired and his eyes were light blue, and he also struggled to impeach himself.
Gongyanghuai looked a little dodgy, but Qi Yan took the initiative to walk over, grabbed Gongyanghuai who was trying to avoid, lowered her voice and whispered: "Don't be too hasty, just wait and see."
Gongyanghuai raised her eyebrows, but Qi Yan took the initiative to leave.
Is there a turnaround for this? Waiting for doubts, Gongyanghuai and all the adults walked into the hall together.
Many ministers noticed: Lord Cui Yushi, who saw the beginning of the dragon but not the end, appeared in the court. This old man seldom appeared in the court. Be careful.
Nangong Da was sitting in a high position, his eyes wandered between Qi Yan, Cui Yushi and Gong Yang Huai, and he said seriously: "Do you have a book to play?"
Hearing this, Cui Yushi straightened his chest, shook his Guangxiu and stood up from the team.
Cui Yushi: "Report to Your Majesty, the fifth prince, the old minister has something to play."
Nangongda pretended to be surprised and said, "Mr. Cui is here too? Please speak."
Cui Yushi cleared his throat and took out a memorial from his arms. Gongyang Huai’s heart was beating like a drum. He was a little unsure of what Qi Yan’s words meant, and he didn’t dare to go against Nangongda’s instructions, so he quietly looked over to Qi Yan and saw the presence of an old god, as if he didn’t know the danger was coming. .
Cui Yushi stretched out the memorial and recited generously: "The old minister impeached Qi Yan and Qi Yuanjun, the ministers of the court, three serious crimes! Taking advantage of the position of the chief examiner of the general examination to use power to seek personal gain and settle the party, this is one of them. It’s also a crime. Borrowing the question is cheap to incite people to discuss the state and politics, and even privately allows students to drop the exam in the general examination. As we all know, Master Qi’s ancestral home is Jinzhou. The old minister visited: Jinzhou is among the top three seats in this general examination. Students occupied a seat, and among the 68 people on the list, Jinzhou students actually made 21 people on the list, which are two sins.”
Cui Yushi turned his head to the side and glared at Qi Yan fiercely, and the memorial was closed with a "pop", and the hall was so silent that the needle could be dropped.
Cui Yushi folded his fists and raised his head above his head: "In the eyes of the old minister, Master Qi is not qualified to be the chief examiner, and it is the trust of Tianda to use talents without sticking to one pattern. These are the three sins, deceive the king, and his sins should be punished!"
Gongyanghuai moved his throat, why is it different from what Nangongda said? The crime of deceiving the king is a serious crime of beheading. That's not what Nangongda said!
Nangongda glanced to the side, and the chamberlain trotted off the high platform, took Cui Yushi's impeachment memorial and returned to the high position to present the memorial.
Nangongda pressed the memorial with one hand, while looking around the ministers, he asked lightly, "I heard the memorial of the eldest boss, what do the other adults mean?"
Gongyanghuai was like a thorn on his back, and the memorial on his chest became a hot potato, which made him flustered.
Nangong Da moved his fingers and tapped the imperial case: "What do the other adults mean?"
Gong Yang Huai clenched his fists, sweat seeping out of his hair and sliding down his face.
Qi Yan still stood silent in the crowd, and Nangong Jingnv, who was sitting behind the screen, was also indifferent. Although Qi Yan passed the code a little late, Nangong Jingnv believed that Qi Yan had his own considerations and respected the other party's. Decide.
Nangong Jingnu had a good idea. Qi Yan did have her own considerations. She wanted to see how powerful the fifth prince was in the court, and also to see what kind of tacit understanding the two princes could achieve in excluding dissidents.
The most important thing is: she wants to give Gongyanghuai a chance, and she has finished what she has to say. If the other party misses the last bit of friendship, this is the best chance for the entire Gongyang mansion to get rid of the control of the fifth prince. Similarly: Zongzheng Temple is the The most ancient and most orthodox yamen, Nangong Jingnu needs it.
Time passed bit by bit, and there was a gloom in Nangong Da's eyes. He didn't wait for Gongyanghuai, another person who was unexpected and reasonable to him stood up.
The eldest son of the Taiwei's Mansion, Zuo She Lu Boyan stood up with a jade wat in his hand: "Report to Your Majesty, Fifth Prince, this minister has a request."
Nangongda: "Master Lu, please speak."
Lu Boyan has always been at odds with Qi Yan because of his ranking in the imperial examination, and because Nangong Wangyuan is in Luobei, he has no time to command the court.
Lu Boyan said, "My minister and Cui Yushi joined Qi Yan together."
Nangongda: "Let's be specific."
Lu Boyan: "In addition to the above-mentioned crimes, the minister will also participate in Qi Yan's random revision of the examination paper standards!"
…
When the paper was judged, Qi Yan brought up the fact that the examiner had two votes, which disrupted the layout of Nangong Wang and Nangong Da. Afterwards, the more Lu Boyan thought about it when he got home, the more wrong it became. Only then did he realize that they were on Qi Yan's way, so he put He explained what happened during the grading, and denounced the drawbacks of this move, which successfully caused an uproar.
Lu Boyan raised his chin, showing his arrogance.
Nangongda frowned deeply and looked distressed. He looked at Cui Yushi and asked, "Is there any other evidence for the three major crimes cited by Master Cui?"
Cui Yushi took out another file and held it up high: "Old minister, here is a testimony from Jinzhou students, more than half of the twenty-one people on the list said that Mr. Qi Yan is a 'good official', approachable, Once pointed to their articles!"
