The Palace of Qinzheng is the place where the emperor handles government affairs and meets hundreds of civil and military officials. Every word spoken in the Palace of Qinzheng may determine the national economy and the people's livelihood, and the rise and fall of Da Yu.
Once, Lin Qingyu stood in the Palace of Qinzheng, and treated the first emperor's pulse as an imperial physician. Today, he still stands here as an imperial doctor. The person he faced was the prime minister, the eunuch, and the emperor.
These people wore the official uniforms they should wear, python robe, and dragon robe, but Lin Qingyu only had a white robe, dressed in fox fur, and there was no shadow of authority on his body, as if he was just a handsome young man from a scholarly family.
However, it was this powerful minister who was not like a powerful minister, who unscrupulously did what he wanted in front of the emperor. In the presence of the emperor, he said frankly that he wanted to take the life of the person he trusted and was closest to.
Lin Qingyu issued orders again: "Take Xi Rong down."
The two guards looked at each other and saw their embarrassment in each other's eyes. They are members of General Gu and have always been loyal to the Gu family. But that is the emperor after all, and no real power is the ninth-five god. Even the doctor Lin had done all the courtesy to the emperor before, why today he totally ignored the courtesy of the emperor and his ministers. This is bigger, but it's a rebellion.
Before the two of them could move, Xiao Jie, who stood in front of Xi Rong, said loudly, "Dare you?!"
Lin Qingyu said, "I dare."
Nan'an Hou also felt that Lin Qingyu was a bit too much and reminded him aloud: "Doctor Lin, no one wants to see the food and grass matter. Sin?"
"Yes... Yes, I am the emperor! You can't talk to me like this, and you can't hurt my people!" Xiao Jie is already a bit hysterical, "I want to cure your sin! Come, take Lin Qingyu down, stick -Shoot!"
When the last two words were spoken, Xiao Jie's voice was crying. He never thought of taking Lin Qingyu's life, but Lin Qingyu wanted A Rong to die. A Rong can't die, that can only make Lin Qingyu die.
He didn't want to be like this, but he really couldn't help it. As long as Arong is fine, he doesn't want to care about anything.
"The emperor." Li Yun knelt down decisively, "The father-in-law Xi is indeed suspected of collaborating with the enemy. The emperor Lin also wanted to listen to the sage, and to the side of the monarch, only when he was in a hurry, he said nothing..."
Cui Lian sneered and said: "The Qing monarch's side will not have his turn to be a fifth-grade imperial physician to clean up, let alone who the monarch is the courtier is yet to be known."
Lin Qingyu looked at Xiao Jie quietly, the last trace of mercy and kindness in his eyes suddenly disappeared when the word "stick to death" was spoken.
A thought suddenly rushed into Xi Rong's mind-Lin Qingyu had a murderous intent on Xiao Jie.
Xi Rong had no doubt that Lin Qingyu wanted his own life, but before that, Lin Qingyu should have never thought of killing Xiao Jun. He is dead and Xiao Jie is alive, Lin Qingyu and the queen mother can completely control Xiao Jie, and then control the entire Dayu.
When Xiao Jie died, only Xiao Li was left in the blood of the first emperor. Civil and military officials, frontier soldiers would never want a fool to be their emperor. If they insist on supporting Xiao Li in the upper ranks, not to mention that the brothers of the first emperor will have ideas, even the northern border may be ready to move. Therefore, in the plan of Lin Qingyu and the Queen Mother, Xiao Jie must live.
But at this moment, Lin Qingyu really wanted Xiao Jie to die in Jiuquan.
This is not what Lin Qingyu would react in a normal state-Lin Qingyu was about to lose control.
Lin Qingyu's loss of control was exactly what he wanted to see.
Standing behind Xiao Jie, Xi Rong leaned down and said in a low voice, "The emperor, you just said it, but are you serious?"
Xiao Yan was in a daze, afraid to look at Lin Qingyu's eyes. He bit his lip, biting his lips red: "Lin Qingyu despised the emperor and committed a disturbance. The sin is unforgivable and deserves to be put to death."
Xi Rong curled her lips and stroked her palms, "Thank your lord."
"The minister is here."
Except for Lin Qingyu, everyone followed the prestige, only to see a man with a solemn stride walking in. This man is dressed in a black waistcoat and a saber around his waist. He is the leader of Tianjiying, Xie Min.
Xie Min knelt down in front of Xiao Jie on one knee: "Weichen sees the emperor."
Xi Rong said: "Can you hear the emperor's order clearly?"
Xie Min nodded slightly, got up and drew his sword, holding the sword in his right hand, the sword light reflected the four characters "Diligence Government Affairs Book" on the high hanging plaque in the hall, step by step approaching Lin Qingyu.
"No!" Li Chun raised his hand and blocked Xie Min's path. "Emperor Lin has the token of Tianjiying from the first emperor, and he is your master!"
Xie Min's expressionless face: "Tianjiying only serves the emperor alone. Mr. Li, please get out of it."
Li Ling looked back at Lin Qingyu, only to see him staring at the sword, his eyes hidden under the long eyelashes like butterfly wings, no one knew what he was thinking. Li Chan anxiously called Zhongshengzhi, and shouted to the two guards: "Go and please be too late!"
A greasy voice sounded: "What happened to our old Xiao family, when will someone with a foreign surname come and ask."
Xiao Jie's Uncle of the Nine Emperors, Prince Heng appeared at the gate of Qinzheng Hall, followed by the elites who secretly transferred from the fief to the capital: "From now on, unless the emperor orders, no one can take a step out of Qinzheng Hall."
Xiao Jie was stunned and said: "Uncle Nine Emperors? Why are you..."
Prince Heng glanced at Lin Qingyu, snorted coldly, and said, "The official escort is late, and the emperor is frightened."
In a desperate situation, Li Yun knelt down again: "The emperor! The emperor, please be a soldier in the northwest, and the people of Dayu think about it. Just as Taiyi Lin just said, the ghost commander can find Xi Rong to'discuss', which shows that this person is against Beijing. The situation is well understood. If the palace rebirth changes at this time, then it will be his plan. With the power of the ghost commander to play with the human heart, it is bound to take advantage of the emptiness and disrupt the mind of our army. The northwest is uncertain, and the capital can no longer be chaotic! "
"What do you mean by Lord Servant?" Xi Rong smiled, "How can the capital be changed when a fifth-grade imperial doctor is executed?"
Li Chun said: "Early Doctor Lin is the wife of General Gu, if the General knows that Doctor Lin is dead in the palace..."
Xi Rong said "Oh," and wrote lightly: "Master Sir, don't worry, the emperor won't let General Gu know about it until General Gu regains Yongliang."
Li Chan was sweating coldly, and he had nothing to do. Could it be that Lin Qingyu really wants blood to splash in the palace of Qinzheng today
Xi Rong's pupil shrank suddenly: "Master Xie, what are you waiting for?"
Li Chan Yu Guang saw Xie Min's hand holding the hilt tightly, but Lin Qingyu still didn't respond. He couldn't help shouting: "Lin Qingyu!"
As soon as the voice fell, Lin Qingyu raised his eyelashes, looked at the man holding the sword in front of him, and said slowly: "Master Xie just said, only for the emperor?"
Xie Min said: "Not bad."
"If the emperor behind you is not recognized by the first emperor and determined by the destiny, do you still follow his fate?"
Xie Min paused: "What do you mean by this?"
"I used to be the same as Li Chu, thinking that only if there is no change in the capital and Xixia is not allowed to take advantage of it, can the northwestern soldiers have no worries. Now, I understand." Lin Qingyu looked at the two brothers Xirong Xiaojun coldly, "only The people who get in the way disappear completely, and the capital is truly stable."
Xi Rong's face suddenly changed color: "Lin Qingyu is sinister and cunning. Don't give him time to confuse people-Xie Min, do it."
Lin Qingyu said: "What's the urgency of Father Xi? The first emperor gave me the token of Tianjiying. Even if it is not enough for Master Xie to serve me, he can at least give me time to finish talking-what do you think, Master Xie."
Xie Min hesitated for a moment: "What on earth are you going to say."
"Just now Father-in-Law Xi gave a few high-fives, and Master Xie appeared in response." Lin Qingyu mocked, "I won't follow suit."
As he said, a rough and loud voice came from the door: "Let let, let let... What are you doing at the door."
Prince Heng was squeezed and turned around and said angrily: "Who is it!"
The visitor smiled and said: "I'm sorry the Nine Princes. You brought a lot of people, so you took up the space. I can only let the brothers from the Imperial Forest Army and the Iron Cavalry Camp surround you."
Prince Heng was chilled with anger, and his words were no longer in the slippery tone: "Wu Zhan! You brought so many soldiers into the palace, are you going to rebel?"
Wu Zhan asked, "Then why does the prince bring so many soldiers here?"
"This king is naturally here to escort him!"
Wu Zhan laughed and said, "That general also came to escort him. But the general that this general wants to escort is not the improper Chuxi Emperor, but the Xian Emperor."
"Nonsense! The emperor is the true dragon emperor appointed by the first emperor, with a good name and good word. I think you are fighting with Lin Qingyu, intending to rebel!"
Prince Heng said surely, but he didn't see Xiao Jun and Xi Rong's reaction. Xiao Jie knew how his throne came, and was already panicked: "A Rong..."
Xi Rong forced to calm down: "Don't be afraid, it's okay."
Wu Zhan put away his smile and said with a serious face: "Bring people up!"
An imperial forest army pressed a gray-haired man onto the hall. The man knelt in front of Lin Qingyu and lowered his head: "... Mr. Lin."
This voice is not as low as an ordinary man, with a thin tip. Xi Rong guessed his identity as soon as he heard it: "Could it be...?"
The man slowly raised his head, Xiao Jie saw his appearance clearly, and said in astonishment: "Duke Xue?"
Xue Ying, the eunuch in charge of the first emperor when he was reigning, served the first emperor for many years. When Emperor Xian was seriously ill, Xue Ying suddenly told her to return home, and there was no news after that.
Wu Zhan said to Xue Ying: "Don't be afraid of Father Xue, tell me everything you know, and this general will protect you well."
Xue Ying glanced at Xie Min: "When the first emperor was seriously ill, he wrote his will and gave it to the slave, and asked the slave to keep it properly. When the emperor died, he would tell the world."
Cui Lian said: "It's nonsense! The first emperor's edict is what he saw with his own eyes. It is indeed the emperor's reserve and inheritance. If you have any edicts, why didn't you take them out at the time? You have to wait for today to pretend to be here!"
Xue Ying said in general: "On that day, King Ning supervised the country, and the power was in the hands of the people, forcing the first emperor to write the edict of the prince. When the first emperor was sober, he regretted that he did not have the second edict. After the first emperor died, King Ning was enthroned and a slave. If I took out the edict at this time, wouldn't it mean that I would seek a dead end."
Li Ling's face returned to bloody color, and asked, "Where is the edict?"
"The slave escaped from the palace and hid the edict behind the plaque of Qinzheng Hall."
Xie Min raised his hand to the plaque, and under the palm of the wind, the plaque shook, and a sealed edict fell down and was firmly held by Xie Min. After Xie Min looked over, his expression was solemn and said: "This is indeed the handwriting and seal of the Emperor Xian."
Cui Lian suddenly turned to Xi Rong: "How is this possible!"
"Heh..." Xi Rong smiled grimly, "Emperor Lin had anticipated today, so he forged a copy of the emperor's will in advance?"
"Fuck you!" Wu Zhan scolded, "Even Master Xie said that this edict was written by the first emperor himself, what else do you have to say!"
Xiao Jie's legs softened and he almost sat down. Xi Rong shot and supported him. "Could it be that your so-called first emperor's legacy is to set up the six princes as the prince?" Xi Rong seemed to have heard some big joke, "How wise the first emperor is, how can he hand over Dayu's Jiangshan to a mentally insufficient prince?"
Xie Min shook his head: "The edict says that the first prince Xiao Teng is the only candidate to inherit the Datong, and it must not be abandoned."
Li Chan immediately said: "The first prince's mother-consort Chen once committed a crime of misfortune and deceived the emperor, but the first emperor only put her into the cold palace and did not involve the first prince in it. This shows that the first emperor had high hopes for the first prince. I have never shown the meaning of abolishing the prince in front of anyone, how can I suddenly say that I am abolished? There must be a hidden sense in it."
A chill came to my heart, Xi Rong stepped back a few steps, and whispered: "It's not over yet."
Xiao Jie cried and held him: "A Rong..."
Xi Rong shook off Xiao Jun's hand abruptly and pointed to Lin Qingyu and said, "Prince Heng, Xie Min, what are you still doing? Did you believe what he said? When the first emperor was seriously ill, the queen mother and Lin Qingyu stayed by his side for an unknown amount of time. How many times more than the emperor, they are the ones who forced the first emperor to write a will!"
"To do it? Then hurry up, stop talking nonsense." Wu Zhan eagerly said, "Do not let this general go to the northwest to fight the Xixia Barbarians, this general is almost suffocated. Nine Princes, where did your soldiers come from? , Have it been beaten."
Prince Heng looked back. The crowded iron cavalry camp and the imperial forest army had already surrounded them, with at least three times the number of them, and they were waiting for work. They had no chance of winning.
At this point, the truth of the matter is no longer important, and life-saving is the most important thing.
Prince Heng cleared his throat and said, "This king is the first emperor's own brother. Of course, we must take the first emperor's will first-Xi Rong, Xiao Jie and you two persecute the prince first, and treason after usurping the throne. It is simply not culpable!"
Xi Rong's hands slowly dropped, his eyes were hollow, and his face was deadly silent.
Wu Zhan shook his head: "This face has become faster than the sky."
Xiao Jie grabbed Xi Rong's arm and choked, "A Rong, A Rong, you have something to say..."
"What else can I say." Xi Rong said numbly, "The winner is the king, and the loser is the Kou-Ajun. We lost."
"Ah? Isn't this going to fight anymore?" Wu Zhan said regretfully, "Bai is excited."
Xiao Jie said blankly: "I lost? What will happen if I lose... Will you die? I don't want..." He rushed to Lin Qingyu, trying to grab Lin Qingyu's clothes, but he couldn't dare to look at Lin Qingyu's eyes. Stretched out: "Doctor Lin, don't kill A Rong, please... don't..."
Lin Qingyu slowly opened her lips: "You beg me?"
Xiao Jie nodded like garlic and said: "I beg you! I beg you..."
"If this batch of grain and grass cannot be delivered and the military plane is missed, our army will defeat Xixia." Lin Qingyu's voice trembled slightly, "Do you think Xixia will spare the lives of those defeated soldiers?"
Xiao Jie froze suddenly. Wu Zhan sighed: "Forage and grass, no matter how powerful a general is without food and grass, he can't fight a war."
"I'm not going to kill him now." Lin Qingyu said, "I want to save his life. When the northwest army triumphs, I will behead to sacrifice to the sky."
Xiao Jie's eyes widened, and she kept shaking her head: "No, no..."
Lin Qingyu walked to Xi Rong's side and said in a voice that only two of them could hear: "I gave you a choice. I also said that if you refuse to obey, I will let others replace it. I'm not kidding."
Xi Rong looked straight ahead: "If I don't do it, I will still lose my life when Gu Fuzhou comes back. I don't regret it."
Lin Qingyu said indifferently: "Not necessarily."
Xi Rong snorted lightly, obviously not believing what Lin Qingyu had said. He finally looked at Xiao Jie with tears in his eyes, and said softly: "Leave him a life, he doesn't understand anything."
Lin Qingyu was noncommittal, and raised his hand, and the two Yulin Army marched forward and took Xi Rong down.
Xiao Jie was embarrassed, and desperately caught up: "A Rong!"
Wu Zhan blocked his way and asked Lin Qingyu: "Doctor Lin, the emperor... what should he do."
Lin Qingyu said: "The emperor is tired, help him return to the bedroom to rest."
Xie Min frowned: "Although the edict of the first emperor is to save the first prince, the first prince has long since passed away."
"Master Xie is right." Prince Heng said in a fair and impartial tone, "No one in the line of the first emperor can inherit the ruling, and we must not allow Xiao Jie, who has rebelled to usurp the throne, to continue to sit on the throne. According to Dayu's ancestral rules , That can only be adopted from the clan."
Lin Qingyu said, "Did the Nine Lords forget Duke Huai?"
"What a joke! Duke Huai is mentally insufficient, like a three-year-old child, how can he be the monarch of a country?"
"At least, Duke Huai won't be smart. Moreover, he may not have the possibility of curing." Lin Qingyu turned around and said, "The Northwest is at a critical juncture, and today's affairs cannot be publicized. You are all pillars of the DPRK. The interests and harms should be compared. The officer is clear."
After this day, Emperor Chuxi said that he was sick and not in the court, and the emperor Zhu Pian was changed to the cabinet blue pian, and the cabinet was in charge of the court affairs. In addition, the prime minister Cui Lianyan made it clear that he meant to be an official. After the emperor was ready to play, he took his family and left the capital far away. Prince Heng was also condemned back to the fief, and he was not allowed to enter Beijing unless he was imperial.
Lin Qingyu and Li Chan exhausted their efforts to raise the grain and grass in Jiangnan, which could have been supported by the Northwest Army for a long time, but now only 20% are left. Li Chu has hurriedly adjusted his food from the north, but he has encountered heavy snow and road closures. The original journey of seven or eight days would have to be delayed for half a month, and I wonder if he can make it in time.
After eradicating the dissidents, when it should have been a time to relax, Lin Qingyu always had a layer of indescribable fear in his heart, a nightmare in the middle of the night for several days.
In his dream, he returned to Nan'an Hou Mansion, standing in the courtyard of the Blue Wind Pavilion, holding a crimson umbrella, and a vast expanse of snow at his feet. He saw the familiar wheelchair. Lu Wancheng, who was dressed in red, had his head hanging down and fell asleep peacefully.
He stepped barefoot on the snow, dragged the skirt of his wedding dress, walked towards Lu Wancheng step by step, using an umbrella to block the falling snowflakes.
At this time, Lu Wancheng suddenly turned into Gu Fuzhou's face. He stretched out his hand desperately, the umbrella fell into the snow, but he couldn't reach the person in front of him.
Lin Qingyu sat up in shock. The vigil Huantong heard the movement and hurriedly palmed the lamp and came over: "Master?"
Lin Qingyu was in a daze, raised his hand to touch the corner of his eye, and felt a little moist. "Outside... Is it snowing?"
"Yes, it's almost all night." Huantong said worriedly, "Master, are you okay?"
Lin Qingyu slowly lowered her eyes: "It's okay."
He has not received Gu Fuzhou's letter from him for half a month.
A year apart, there is only a lone shadow wandering in the depth of affection, and seeing each other is only in the dream.
But now, he actually didn't even dare to dream.
After the twelfth lunar month, the wind and snow in the northwest were even worse in the capital, and the consumption of grain and grass increased day by day.
In order to keep the army stable, Gu Fuzhou concealed the robbing of food and grass. Apart from him and Shen Huai, only Wu Youyuan and Shi Pei knew the current situation of the shortage of food and grass in the army. On that day, Shen Huai had one enemy and one hundred, and took 20% of the grain to get out of trouble. When he returned to the army, he was already seriously injured. Fortunately, Hu Ji recovered his life and recovered one life. Gu Fuzhou wanted to send Shen Huai Consciousness to a safe place to rest, but was relentlessly rejected by Shen Huai Consciousness.
"Doctor Lin asked me to follow the general and protect the general well."
Gu Fuzhou smiled and said, "Why do you listen to my wife so much? Do you like him?"
Shen Huaizhi hurriedly said: "I am not, I don't! The general is the pillar of the country and has been admired for a long time. Even if there is no advice from the doctor, I am willing to serve for the general."
Seeing that Shen Huai was so panicked that he wanted to jump up to prove his innocence, Gu Fuzhou pushed him back on the bed: "Just kidding, relax. But, even if you like him, I don't mind. There are more people who like him, but he …"
Only like me.
Gu Fuzhou chuckled and said, "I understand your kindness. It's better for you to go to a safe place to take care of your body first, and then it won't be too late to come back."
Shen Huai shook his head: "I want to stay in the northwest to recover."
"What's good in the northwest. The wind blows like a knife, and it can be ten years old in one day."
Shen Huai was silent for a long time, and said: "I have been to many places, like duckweed, and life like grass. Only in the northwest, I feel that I am really alive. Seeing all the brothers who died in battle, the innocent death was in vain. People of China, I only discovered that in the past, whether Jingchun or Xiao Wei, they were all just past moments and dreams."
Gu Fuzhou raised his eyebrows at the sudden time of truth. Shen Huaishi spent a year in the northwest, never mentioned the past, nor did he ask about it. What surprised him most was that Shen Huaizhi was able to mention Xiao Wei's name so calmly, even if his beautiful wife was present, I am afraid he would be surprised as well.
"Since you have mentioned Xiao Wei, I have a question, and I really want to ask you."
Shen Huai said: "Excuse me, general."
Gu Fuzhou asked: "Have you ever used the fake death medicine my wife gave you that day?"
Shen Huaizhi smiled slightly, but said nothing.
Gu Fuzhou didn't ask any further questions, only sighed: "You can't admonish those who come by, but you can chase those who come. If you want to stay, you can stay. I'm Shangyouyuan Shi Pei. Let's think about what to do next." Shen Huai knew the shoulders, opened the camp, and walked into the wind and snow.
Shen Huaizhi lowered his head and looked at his shoulder that had been slapped by Gu Fuzhou.
Talking to Gu Fuzhou is an extremely comfortable thing. He seems to have a magical ability to pull the deep-seated people back to this world with a smile. Just like that day, when he came back with serious injuries, Wu Youyuan and Shi Pei were furious when they learned that the grain and grass had been robbed. Only after a long period of silence, Gu Fuzhou said in his usual slouchy tone: "It's almost done, things have happened, no matter how angry it is. Anger will only make us lose our minds. Don't hold a face. This way. , I will give you a Xiqin, wait for you to calm down before discussing business."
In this world, there are only people like Gu Fuzhou who can spend a lifetime with the doctor Lin.
