Sansheng Yinqing sorrow and joy
Although Ding You was reluctant to bear Qi Yan, fortunately he still had a big picture, and he knew that if he continued to stay, it would only cause trouble for Qi Yan.
Ding You's mansion was outside the palace. Taking advantage of Xiu Mu, he contacted the masked man's stronghold in the capital, and successfully left the capital under the protection of the other party.
The imperial doctor had the information of the nobles of the inner court, and could not leave the office without the permission of the inner court. After discovering that Ding You had escaped, the imperial doctor Wang Yu immediately reported to the inner court to issue a wanted order, but Ding You was no longer in the capital. In addition, the inner court is now too busy to take care of itself, how can anyone really take care of a small imperial doctor
Ding You went around for ten days day and night, and finally came to the masked man's stronghold.
After more than ten years of absence, the figure of the masked person seems to be thinner than before. She is still wearing a black robe and a black iron mask on her face.
Ding You knelt in front of the masked man: "Report to the master, Nangong Rang is dead, the subordinate's task has been completed, and he is here to return."
The masked man replied indifferently: "This palace already knows that you have worked hard for you all these years. Tell me, what reward do you want?"
The masked man's answer was not what Ding You expected. Apart from himself and Qi Yan, the other party also placed other stakes in the inner court, but...
Ding You: "The villain's life is given by the master. I don't dare to ask for any reward. I just want to go back to Wuminggu and ask the master to continue to leave the medical house to the villain to take care of."
The masked man thought for a while and replied, "Wu University will send you tomorrow."
Ding You: "Don't bother Big Brother Wu, the master's safety is the most important thing. Although the villain has been away from the valley for many years, he can't forget the way home for a moment. I'll just go back by myself."
Masked man: "Alright, you have done a good job, and I will reward you well when this palace settles the big things."
Ding You: "Thank you, Master."
…
Ding You was brought into the house blindfolded, and was also sent out blindfolded.
Wuhan University gave Ding You a horse, with a package tied to the saddle, which contained all the dry food and clothes needed for the journey.
Wuda: "Let's hit the road."
Ding You rode on the horse and walked away without looking back. It was not until Ding You disappeared from Wuhan University that he walked in the other direction.
…
In the sixteenth year of Jingjia, February fifteenth.
There was a vacancy in the Ministry of War. The former Minister of War was the old department of the Taiwei's Mansion. During the years when Lu Quan went to Tangquan Mountain to recuperate, the Minister of War gave his full support to the first son of the Lu Mansion, that is, Zuo Pushe Lu Boyan. It is a pity that people are not as good as heaven. Today's Taiwei's mansion is governed by three parts under Qi Yan's strategy. It is reasonable to say that the six divisions are under the unified jurisdiction of Zhongshu Province. This military division is special. Although it is under the command of Xing Jingfu in name, it actually obeys. Taiwei's mansion dispatched.
After talking with Nangong Mistress, Lu Zhongxing thought about it for a long time. Now there are only three princes left, and the other two princes are lonely and young. He really can't think of whom His Majesty likes.
It wasn't until he caught the news from the palace's inner court that the seventh prince, Nangong, had been invited to the Weiming Palace for a month.
Lu Zhongxing understood: I didn't expect that the Seventh Highness, who was not showing off the mountains but not the water, was actually keeping a low profile!
After Lu Zhongxing became the Grand Lieutenant, he wore a lot of small shoes for the courtiers who had supported his elder brother, especially the Ministry of War.
The minister of the Ministry of War was made difficult, but it was the minister of the Ministry of War who was angry. In addition, the minister of the Ministry of War was already old, and he knew that he had no hope of promotion after suffering from this belly, so he simply wrote a letter and asked him to return home.
Nangongda naturally agreed. In a peaceful and prosperous world, the Ministry of War is not very conspicuous. However, the current situation is tense and the Ministry of War is rising. Nangongda is suffering from the fact that the Ministry of War does not have his own confidant, so this is good.
But this time... things didn't go as smoothly as Nangong Da imagined.
When it comes to the selection of the Minister of War, several parties have different forces.
First of all, Nangongda, Lu Zhongxing, and Xing Jingfu each elected one person, which surprised Nangongda.
Lu Zhongxing is fine, maybe he didn't see the form clearly when he first returned to the court, but Xing Jingfu, an old fox, has been silent since last year. would also agree.
This time, he suddenly jumped out and sang the opposite of Nangongda, and even elected a new sixth-rank official from Jinzhou to serve as the servant!
When Lu Boyan saw that his younger brother had nominated a candidate, he first objected, and then simply broke the jar and threw one person out.
This time, there are actually four candidates for the position of the Minister of War!
Nangongda's face was ugly, he directly bypassed the Lu brothers and asked Xing Jingfu: "Master Zhongshuling is too eclectic in the appointment of talents, right? The Minister of War is of the third grade, the person you proposed is considered Getting up to six levels in a row is too much."
Xing Jingfu walked out silently holding a jade wattle, and said loudly: "Your Highness's words are not good, the old minister was only a small successor and a long history. Looking back at the ten-odd years of the senior minister's time in office, I can only see how knowledgeable and good-hearted His Majesty is, according to the law, the appointment of an official can be promoted up to six levels in a row, and the senior minister has not overstepped his limits."
Which one in the court is not a human being? They all knew that Xing Jingfu was a loyalist faction who swore to the death. In the past, when His Majesty was healthy, he relied on him to charge into battle to balance the Taiwei party, and it has been gradually silent since last year.
Today, he suddenly jumped out and openly confronted the prince of the supervisory kingdom. What does this mean
Most of Xing Jingfu's political views are His Majesty's intentions. Could it be that... There is another candidate in His Majesty's heart for the candidate for the crown prince
Yes! It must be so, if it is not so, why should His Majesty make a will? Wouldn't it be enough to directly declare the fifth prince as the prince
After thinking about this, those former followers of Xing Jingfu responded one after another: "His Royal Highness, this minister thinks that what Lord Zhongshu Ling said is very true."
"The minister seconded the proposal. It is the so-called "knowing people and doing good responsibilities". Lord Xing has not overstepped the rules. This election is valid."
"His Royal Highness, according to the law, the candidates for the sixth minister should first be nominated by the previous generation's superior, and drafted by the Zhongshu decree. Officials below the third rank should be appointed by the Zhongshu decree first, and then please file your majesty." The implication, The fifth prince, Nangongda, was Yuezuo instead.
Nangongda's face became more and more ugly, and he also had the ability to be hypocritical because he was handicapped, and I saw him showing a genial smile: "Everyone's words are reasonable, Master Xing has served as the Zhongshu Ling for many years, and his eyes are naturally like Ju. But... Ben Gong remembers this…" He opened the memorial and glanced at it, and continued: "This Jinzhou Qin De was the second in the last gold medal list, right? He was only weak last year, so young Ben Gong was worried that he would not be able to handle it. Come… "
Xing Jingfu: "No need to worry, Your Highness, the old minister will guide you personally. If Your Highness is really worried, you will first remember Qin De as the post-reinforcement minister.
Nangongda: "So... very good, let's do as Master Xing said. Do ministers still have books?"
…
Nangongda: "Retreat."
Xing Jingfu walked out of the main hall and walked on the palace road. Many former minions chased after him and surrounded Xing Jingfu to ask questions.
Xing Jingfu waved his hand: "You don't need to say more, the old man is just doing his duty."
Lu Zhongxing was not far away. Seeing this scene, he believed that what Nangong Shunv said was true. Maybe it was His Majesty who gave Xing Jing some secret order, so he would openly confront the fifth prince in the courtroom and reduce Nangongda's presence in the court. forces in.
Also seeing this scene was Gongyanghuai, Minister of Rites, who knew that this was not Xing Jingfu's original intention, but Qi Yan used that secret decree to achieve it.
Zhongshu Province, Taiwei's Mansion, Ministry of Rites... The camp against Nangongda seems to be getting bigger and bigger.
In a blink of an eye, Nangong Rang had been dead for a month.
Bitter Winter was quietly leaving. On the third day after the death of Nangong Rang, the gate of Ganquan Palace could not be opened. Forty-nine used the arrows to mobilize the Imperial Forest Army to guard it strictly, and no one could enter.
Si Jiu opened the window of Nangong Rang's bedroom, and then asked the maid to carry a few ice bricks the size of a cabinet. The whole bedroom was as cold as an ice cellar. superior.
Almost every day, corpses are transported out of Ganquan Palace, sometimes it is a palace servant, sometimes it is several servants. They are all transported out of the corner gate at night, and they are transported out of the palace with the dung cart. Throw in the mass grave.
These people, all of whom accidentally saw Nangong's body while they were serving, all of them were killed.
But... With the end of winter, things gradually became unbearable. A large amount of ice melts every day, and the elderly Sijiu cleans it up himself, carrying out buckets of water, and the ice cellar in the inner court is almost running out.
But even so, there is still a rancid smell in the bedroom of Ganquan Palace, almost everyone in the palace can smell it, everyone is trembling and panicking.
Si Jiu was finally tired, and he gave his arrow to a trusted person and asked him to invite Qi Yan.
Qi Yan saw Ling Jian, and knew that it was Nangong Rang's matter that could not be concealed. Fortunately, the soldiers of the Youzhou government had secretly arrived in the Gyeonggi area, and successfully controlled the local government office, closed the city gate, and cut off contact with the outside world.
The 100,000-strong army was huge, and the news spread like wildfire, but Shangguan Wu took the initiative and detained all the court officials who came to inquire. In addition, there were Qin De in the Ministry of War, Gongyanghuai, Lu Zhongxing, Xing Jingfu and others in the court. Helping, successfully concealed Nangongda.
Qi Yan found Nangong Jingnu with the arrow of the forty-nine command.
Nangong Sunv and Nangong Shunv were also there. They worked hard for these two highnesses and went to "accompany" Nangong Li in shifts every day.
Qi Yan: "Your Highness, I have something to tell you."
Nangong Jingnu: "Come on, there are no outsiders here."
Qi Yan pursed her lips: "Your Majesty has passed away."
Nangong Jingnu's tears suddenly poured out: "When did it happen?"
Nangong Sunu sighed, and Qi Yan continued, "In the sixteenth year of Jingjia, the second day of the second lunar month."
Nangong Jingnu's eyes widened instantly: "On the second day of the second month of February? How could it be...?"
Qi Yan: "It's a minister..."
With a "slap", Nangong Jingnu slapped Qi Yan, crying and shouting, "How dare you? This palace doesn't even know about the father's death for a month! How dare you suppress this matter!"
The Wei Kingdom adheres to Confucianism, and it is respect for the deceased to go to the ground for safety.
Imagine not being buried for a month, what will the body look like
Qi Yan's mouth oozes blood, but grabs Nangong Jingnu's arm and stops her from running out.
Qi Yan: "Your Highness, listen to me..."
Qi Yan met Nangong Jingnu's eyes, and Qi Yan's heart was stunned by the defensiveness and strangeness in it.
Nangong Jingnv was disappointed and sad, and asked Qi Yan repeatedly: "Did you call the Imperial Forest Army? You dare to do anything about locking the palace? Did you tell them not to allow this palace to enter Ganquan Palace? Isn't it!"
Qi Yan: "Your Highness..."
Nangong Jingnu: "Let go!"
