After discussing with the officials, Song Qingshu went to visit Huang Shinu. She was injured by the old man in the mountain before, and the injury was serious.
"It turned out to be an old man in the mountains. No wonder martial arts are so weird." The woman in yellow was stunned when she heard that Huo Shan was the one who attacked her that night. She has always been proud of her martial arts. She brooded.
"And the Dongying ninja, although his martial arts are not as good as the old man in the mountain, but his ninjutsu is amazing." Thinking that the other party can instantly become one with the mountain forest, Song Qingshu had to admit that it is very useful for concealing assassination, "Tiemu Zhenshou There are so many capable people and strange people here, I am afraid that if we meet in the future... "
The girl in yellow patted him on the shoulder to comfort him: "Brother Song, you don't have to worry too much. The Central Plains is full of martial arts talents. As long as we work together, we will naturally not be afraid of those crooked ways under the Mongolian command."
"Working together is easier said than done." Song Qingshu smiled wryly. Differences in sects, power struggles, national enmity and family enmity, if people like the Central Plains want to unite, it is as difficult as reaching the sky.
The woman in the yellow shirt sighed: "Before I suspected that you had selfish intentions, but now that so many powerful people have surrendered to Mongolia, I just realized your difficulties. Without some means to integrate the power of the Central Plains, how can you deal with Mongolia."
Seeing that she finally let go of the estrangement in her heart, Song Qingshu heaved a sigh of relief: "You think too highly of me, and I do have selfish motives in doing this."
The girl in the yellow shirt smiled slightly: "The only mediocre in the world has no reputation or blame. If you really have no desires and no desires, how can you achieve great things."
"Yingluo, you are really my confidant," Song Qingshu couldn't help laughing, "Speaking of which, I still have to thank those assassins, if it wasn't for them, we wouldn't be able to reconcile."
The woman in the yellow shirt blushed and spat: "Hey, what is reconciliation, we just... have a hard time!"
"Yes, yes, yes..." Song Qingshu knew that she was a bit embarrassing, and after chatting with her for a while, he told her to take a good rest and recuperate, and then left her room.
Because the emperor did not return to Beijing for a day, there was a risk of turmoil in the country. Therefore, although there was a lot of disturbance last night, the large army still left for Lin'an according to the scheduled itinerary.
Huang Yaoshi's status was embarrassing, he had assassinated the emperor on Wudang Mountain before, so it was not appropriate to show up in public, not to mention he didn't want to be with Song Qingshu at all, so he stayed in Xiangyang mansion to heal his wounds.
Huang Rong happened to be a little uncomfortable, so she also took advantage of the situation to stay in Xiangyang, first to take care of her father, and secondly to recuperate due to her illness.
Song Qingshu didn't force it either, the relationship between the two is very delicate now, they met each other tacitly as if nothing had happened, of course the good news is that Huang Rong's attitude towards him is much better, not like the previous completely evasive The appearance of resistance, but that's all, far from the level of a lover.
Of course, Song Qingshu also knows how to measure, and he is already very satisfied with this step. If it is too light, it will be alienated, and if it is too thick, it will be easy to hurt each other. Now this is just right.
The emperor's ceremonial car went all the way along the Han River to the Yangtze River, and then went straight down the river. On the way, Song Qingshu flew pigeons to send letters to the four maidservants of the Lingjiu Palace, plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, and asked them to choose smart palace servants to meet in Lin'an City. On the one hand, he contacted Ajiu Xia Qingqing from the Golden Snake Camp, Zhou Zhiruo from Yangzhou, and Ren Yingying from the Prince Qi's Mansion to arrange various matters in Lin'an in the future;
Although the matter is cumbersome, Li Qingluo gave advice along the way, which relieved Song Qingshu of a lot of pressure, especially in the dead of night when the red sleeves accompanied him. Not only did Song Qingshu enjoy the tenderness, but he also took care of the internal injuries and wear and tear he had suffered before. Seven or eight.
About half a month later, the fleet finally returned to Lin'an.
Song Qingshu found a time for Zhao Gou to meet the prince and the officials. Although everyone in the court knew that the emperor had been assassinated in Wudang Mountain, Zhao Gou's physical condition had been tightly sealed for the sake of national stability. Only then did they know that Zhao Gou had only With one breath, the whole person could only be paralyzed on the bed, everyone was shocked.
The prince stepped forward and told a series of things that happened on Wudang Mountain. He learned that King Yi set up a ghost villa to rebel and even involved several great masters. The escort died in the end, and each expression was extremely exciting.
Who is Jia Sidao? The power struggle with the emperor during this period is clear to everyone. If the emperor dies, Jia Sidao will be happy, and why would he sacrifice his life to save him
However, everyone in the field is a person who has been in the ups and downs of the officialdom for decades, and soon many people guessed the truth of the matter, and roughly
Knowing why the royal family made such a caliber, since the emperor said so, they would not risk questioning anything.
Next, a series of appointments about Song Qingshu, Wang Ziteng, etc. were announced. Although the officials in the field were well-informed and had already received some information from various channels, they were still shocked when they heard it.
"I hope the officials will think twice. The Pingzhang Army has a high position in state affairs. Since the founding of the Taizu, this position has not been established more than three times. It cannot be granted lightly unless there are special circumstances."
"That's right, the officials, every chief of the Pingzhang Army's state affairs has been in charge of the prime minister for many years, has rich experience, and is also a highly respected generation. How can the king of Qi be so important at such a young age?"
"I hope the officials will think twice."
…
A group of people talked a lot, urging the emperor to withdraw his order.
Wang Ziteng half smiled, he expected that it would not be so easy for Song Qingshu to successfully take over the position, so he glanced at Song Qingshu quietly, seeing his calm face, he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.
"Forget it, for Yu Yan's sake, it's better to sell him." Wang Ziteng made up his mind, and he came out and said: "Yi Wang has been planning for many years, and once it is launched, it will be like a thunderbolt. It has already fallen into the hands of rebellious officials and thieves, so why can't such a meritorious service be rewarded?"
"What's more, the situation in Wudang Mountain this time, Jin Guo also inadvertently learned of the internal turmoil in the imperial court. Nowadays, Jin Guo frequently dispatches troops and generals. It seems that they want to take advantage of this opportunity to invade the south. Now the court is talking about marching and fighting. , In terms of popularity and fame, who can compare to King Qi? Pingzhang Army State Affairs was originally set up to deal with this kind of emergency, and now it is very appropriate to award it to King Qi!"
Seeing the prince vacating to support Song Qingshu, all the officials looked at each other in blank dismay. You must know that the Wang family is one of the four major families, and there are many former officials in the imperial court. In addition, Wang Ziteng controls the guards and the army, the power of the Wang family is extraordinary.
Moreover, the four major families have always been connected with one another. Does the attitude of the Wang family mean that this is the common meaning of the Jia family, the Shi family, and the Xue family
Thinking of this, a group of officials went to see the reactions of the other patriarchs. Of course, Jia Sidao died on Wudang Mountain this time, so naturally he didn’t mention it. It's hard to judge their attitude.
Seeing that none of them spoke, the voices of opposition from the rest of the officials became less resolute.
At this moment, Zhao Gou said, "I have already decided on this matter, so you don't need to discuss it anymore! In addition, the Ministry of Rites will select a good day and auspicious day for King Qi and the two princesses to marry. I am exhausted, so you can step back."
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The emperor said so, and the rest of the people naturally couldn't say anything more, and they all knelt down and retreated.
Wang Ziteng looked at Song Qingshu with some surprise. He never expected that Zhao Gou could speak on his own initiative. He has been keeping Zhao Gou alive all this time, just to ensure that he is alive, and to coerce the emperor to order the princes.
The moment Zhao Gou opened his mouth just now, his hairs stood on end, he was afraid that Zhao Gou would say something, after all, what he did this time was really disobedient, and it would be a catastrophe if he was exposed.
But Zhao Gou actually spoke for Song Qingshu, which was really beyond his expectation. In his opinion, Zhao Gou should hate Song Qingshu to the extreme. If he could speak, he would definitely have someone kill him immediately.
"Grandmaster's methods are really incredible!" After thinking about it, Wang Ziteng could only blame it on this, and at the same time made up his mind, he must pay close attention to the marriage between Luo Yuyan and him after returning, so that the relationship between the two parties will be stable, but he The princess is getting married soon, so what kind of status will Yu Yan be in the past
Make the princess smaller? Although the emperor is under their control now, Wang Ziteng does not dare to risk the disgrace of the world; but if Yu Yan is allowed to be small, it is not in the interests of the Wang family, it is really a headache.
Taking a panoramic view of everyone's reactions, Song Qingshu raised the corners of his mouth slightly. It was indeed not easy to control Zhao Gou in his heyday, but now he is seriously injured and weak, and his resistance has reached the weakest state. It is not difficult to control him briefly when meeting with the officials. As for later, Zhao Gou will be in the deep palace most of the time anyway, and there will be no big waves.
It's just that he knew very well in his heart that the matter was not over like this. He must still face many challenges if he wants to firmly secure his position of being under one person and above ten thousand people. Such an "outsider" parachuted into the top leader of the imperial court.
After Zhao Gou settled down, Song Qingshu declared Ren Yingying to enter the palace in his name. Now that he has not completely controlled the palace, how could he dare to leave Zhao Gou half a step away, and accidentally fell into the hands of others.
If all previous efforts are wasted, he may become a "rebellious minister and thief" who is despised by thousands of people.
In fact, Ren Yingying had been waiting near the palace gate for a long time, and immediately entered the palace after receiving the news, Song Qingshu retreated to the left and right, and met her in a side hall.
"Song Lang~" As the saying goes, Xiao Bie is better than a newlywed. When she saw her lover, Ren Yingying couldn't help throwing herself into his arms with a scent of fragrance.
"Yingying~" Song Qingshu hugged her soft and charming body tightly, a kind of homely warmth rose in his heart, I don't know why, some women can bring a kind of homely warmth to people, it has nothing to do with appearance or character, It's a mysterious feeling.
Song Qingshu lowered his head, his eyes were less than a foot away from her cheeks, seeing that her skin was as white as transparent, it was unknown whether it was because of excitement or something faintly showing a blush, and couldn't help saying pitifully: "During this period of time You cleared up."
"No way, he obviously gained a lot of weight." Ren Yingying pinched his waist, "Instead, you are much thinner than when you left."
"During this period of time, I have been running around day and night, and I have suffered some injuries, so I have lost some weight. In the next period of time, you will definitely make up for me by cooking more delicious food." Song Qingshu replied.
Hearing that he was injured, Ren Yingying looked nervous and looked him up and down: "Where is the injury, show me."
Seeing her nervous appearance, Song Qingshu's heart warmed up: "Don't worry, the injury has healed."
"I know you didn't want to make me worry. How can the injury left by the great master heal so easily?" Ren Yingying's eyelashes trembled slightly, "Song Lang, this time is too risky."
"It's not dangerous, not to mention risks and opportunities coexist," Song Qingshu was filled with emotion, and then told her in detail what happened along the way and future plans, "The courtiers of all dynasties want to make trouble. If you don't collude with people in the harem and get the title of righteousness, you must guard against it. Although it is easy to get in and out of the harem with my martial arts, I am a man after all, and I cannot openly go in and out. It will inevitably give others opportunities, so I Need an eye and an eye in the harem."
"You mean Sister Ake?" Ren Yingying nodded slightly, "Her identity is indeed the most suitable candidate, but the harem is treacherous, and she has never been scheming, so I'm afraid she is powerless."
"That's why I need Chen Yuanyuan's assistance." Song Qingshu said, "I can't separate myself from the palace now, please trouble Yingying to go out and bring them into the palace."
"Chen Yuanyuan has gone through all kinds of troubles and has extraordinary knowledge. It is really suitable for her to take care of her." Ren Yingying agreed very much, "There is no need to delay, then I will go out of the palace to make arrangements."
Let's say that when they were discussing in the palace, Shi Miyuan and Xue Ji also had a meeting in a secret room.
"The people in Jia's family can't be contacted, they are all juniors, useless, so I didn't call them." Xue Ji was a little annoyed, "Could it be that the people in charge of Jia's family are all dead?"
Shi Miyuan's face sank like water: "Shi Xian's move is really too risky. He was supposed to succeed if he didn't succeed, but now this situation is also expected. I just didn't expect the officials to be so tolerant that they would blame King Yi for all the crimes. On the contrary, it fulfilled Shi Xian's reputation as a loyal and patriotic posthumous person."
Although they belong to the four major families, Jia Sidao didn't tell him about his actions before, but each family has many eyes and ears, and with clues, he can guess one or two.
Regardless of whether it is the historian or the Xue family, their attitude towards this is to sit back and watch. Anyway, no matter whether Jia Sidao wins or loses, it will not affect the prosperity and wealth of their family, so there is no need to take the risk of participating.
It's just that an accident happened now, Jia Sidao died and the power did not fall into their hands, but was "stolen" by an outsider, so they naturally quit.
"The official's recruiting is really clever, but..." Xue Ji looked worried, "The official actually handed over all the power to outsiders and refused to give it to us. Could it be because of Shi Xian's matter that he prepared to treat us other people?" How many families have started?"
Shi Miyuan shook his head: "Probably not, Wang Ziteng is not stupid, if this is the case, how could he agree?"
"This Wang Ziteng doesn't even know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd. Our four big families have always been in the same spirit, but his behavior today is to completely get close to the surnamed Song and draw a clear line with us?" Xue Ji Said bitterly.
"His attitude is indeed ambiguous, find an opportunity to find out his tone," Shi Miyuan said, "but the most important thing now is to find a way to drive the surname Song from that position. Do you really think that you can get the corresponding power just by relying on an imperial decree!"
Xue Ji also smiled slightly: "I have already sent someone to contact the prince, and he should be the one who is most anxious now."
