Qing Yan

"My dear friends, do you have a performance this morning?"

The minister of the Ministry of War became more and more numerous and said: "Your Majesty, I have a statement!"

Yu Wenrui's spirit was lifted, she knew that what the Ministry of War said must have something to do with Bei Zheng.

"What did Ai Qing play?"

"Your Majesty, I just received the news from the secret service this morning that Yang Lie is dead."

"Ah!" Not only Yu Wenrui, but all the civil and military personnel in the court couldn't help but let out a low cry.How many years has it been since Yang Lie forced the palace to usurp the throne?He was in the prime of life, so it is impossible to die of illness.Everyone had the same thought in their hearts——

"How did he die?" Yu Wenrui asked anxiously.

"I don't know the details, but it is certain that Yang Lie is dead. It is said that a large number of imperial forest troops swarmed into Beizheng's Forbidden Palace last night. To protect the East Palace."

"The one in the East Palace is Yang Lie's son?" Yu Wenrui faintly sensed something.

"Yes. Yang Lie's eldest son is eight years old this year. He is the Prince of the Eastern Palace of Beizheng. His mother is Yang Lie's wife."

Yu Wenrui pondered for a while, and said: "This great general is fighting, does he want to support this little prince to ascend the throne?"

"I think so. Since Yang Lie died, it is justifiable for Donggong to ascend the throne. However, that little baby is only eight years old, what do you know? Your Majesty don't need to take it to heart."

He originally wanted to comfort the emperor, but suddenly his head twitched, completely forgetting that their majesty was also an "eight-year-old little baby" who ascended the throne back then.

Both civil and military officials in the court looked sideways: Do you mean that the person who ascended the throne in the past is also a person who "knows nothing"?

The Minister of the Ministry of War knew that he had made a slip of the tongue.He is a straightforward warrior, and he doesn't know how to turn around when he says something wrong. He just turns red, stares at a pair of tiger eyes, and is at a loss for a while.

Yu Wenrui didn't take it seriously, and asked, "Aiqing, is he familiar with this Zhan Teng? It is rumored that he is the number one general in Beizheng, but is it true?"

Hearing the words, the Minister of the Ministry of War relaxed his mind, and thought that His Majesty is really kind-hearted and self-restraining. He was so moved that he wished to entrust all he knew to the lord, "Your Majesty has learned from you! As far as I know, 'the number one fierce general in Beizheng' It's not so much Zhan Teng, but rather his eldest son Zhan Yu."

"Zhan Teng's son?" Yu Wenrui became interested.

"Yes. Zhan Teng has two sons. The eldest son Zhan Yu is a general of hussars. It is said that he is very brave and unbeatable in Beizheng. He is called 'Sai Wenhou'."

Yu Wenrui sneered: "How dare he compare to Lu Bu?"

He asked again, "What about the second son?"

"Zhan Teng's second son is named Zhan Wen, he... um..." Minister of the Ministry of War showed embarrassment in his writing, and his eyes involuntarily slid to the British Gong Jingzi Qiao.

Jing Ziqiao also coughed lightly in embarrassment, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Zhan Wen was killed by Jing Jiayue last month."

Yu Wenrui was stunned, it turned out to be the one who was hacked to death by Yue'er, and she was so scared that she couldn't sleep, and then she did all that to Sister because of it?No wonder!On that day, Yue'er said that after this Zhan Wen was hacked to death by her, all the attendants snatched the body regardless of their lives, so it turned out that he was someone with a lot of background.snort!Incompetent in martial arts and arrogant, this kind of guy deserves his death!

She smiled disdainfully: "Zhan Yu, Zhan Wen, hum! He knows how to choose a name! Do you want to defeat my Yuwen family?"

None of the officials dared to speak up.

Yu Wenrui glanced at the ministers standing under Dan Chi, and said, "Since Yang Lie is dead, what do you think of the ministers in Beizheng?"

The Secretary of the Ministry of War hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I think that the current situation in Beizheng is chaotic, and it is an excellent time for me to send troops in the Great Zhou Dynasty!"

Yu Wenrui let out a "huh", noncommittal.

"Your Majesty," Jing Ziqiao said as he stepped out of the class, "I think the situation is not clear at this time, so I should wait and see."

The Secretary of the Ministry of War said anxiously: "The British lord's words are wrong! Yang Lie is dead, and the court of Beizheng is in chaos, so there must be no leisure time to take care of the border. Sending troops at this time will definitely catch them by surprise!"

Jing Ziqiao shook his head and said, "Not necessarily. How could Zhan Teng support the East Palace just after Yang Lie died? How did he get the news quickly? Besides, how did Yang Lie die? Did he die of illness? Killed by someone? What kind of disease is the disease? If it was killed by someone, who did it? These are all doubtful points. Therefore, I think that for the current plan, we should wait and see what happens."

Yu Wenrui nodded and said: "What the British official said is reasonable. All the lovers should perform their own duties, and quickly find out the detailed situation of Beizheng and the cause of Yang Lie's death, and report it to me, and then plan later."

The monarch and his ministers discussed a few more important matters, especially the matter that the Ministry of Rites was responsible for receiving the audience from all parties, and the court dispersed.

The officials dispersed, but Pei Chonghui remained untouched.

Yu Wenrui understood, smiled and said: "Pei Qing, go slowly, I was studying yesterday, and I encountered a point that I couldn't understand, so I ask Ai Qing to give some pointers."

Pei Chonghui secretly thought that the emperor was very clever, and cupped his hands and said, "I will obey the holy order!"

The two monarchs and ministers came to the apse.

"Sir, please sit down." Seeing that Pei Chonghui had sat down, Yu Wenrui sat down and ordered Shen Quan again and again, "Hurry up and serve tea to Mr. Pei!"

Pei Chonghui thanked him.

Yu Wenrui said: "Sir, there must be something important."

"Yes. In the past, I told His Majesty that I had some ideas about the structure of our dynasty."

"That's right. Sir, he once said that from when he was a child in school to many years after he became an official, for more than [-] years, he had a deep impression on the political affairs, criminal names, and official positions of our dynasty, and felt that there was an urgent need for change. Let me allow you Experience in the six departments one by one, especially in the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple, it is said that it is to give me a result of getting rid of the bad government."

"This is the result of what I said," Pei Chonghui said, and handed over a thick memorial. "I summed up what I saw, heard, and felt over the years, and wrote down this book of reform. I hope His Majesty will adopt it."

Yu Wenrui took it, feeling the weight in his palm, and said with emotion: "Sir, you put your heart into it!"

She turned two pages and said with a smile: "The content in the memorial, sir, is very similar to the 'San Gong' of the Qin Dynasty."

Pei Chonghui said sternly: "Like, not like."

"Appreciate further details."

"Qin Yingzheng unified the six countries and established the 'Three Dukes and Nine Ministers System'. The so-called 'Three Dukes' are the prime minister, the Taiwei, and the Yushi doctor. Official; Taiwei and Yushi doctor are the deputy of the prime minister. But the "three gongs" mentioned by the minister are the prime minister, Taiwei and Sikou. The prime minister is in charge of court administration, the Taiwei is in charge of military affairs, and the Sikou is in charge of the formulation and implementation of laws; They are parallel to the Son of Heaven, they are not subordinate to each other, they perform their duties, and they are responsible to the Son of Heaven."

Yu Wenrui half-understood what he heard, and said with a wry smile: "I'm telling the truth, sir, don't laugh at me."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"What Mr. said, I really sound a little confused, it seems a little... well, how to describe it?" She frowned, unable to think of suitable words for a while.

It seems a bit beyond this era, right?Pei Chonghui added silently for her in his heart, silently spreading his hands.

"Your Majesty's thinking, I can imagine. This is what I have seen and heard for more than [-] years, and I wrote it out after summarizing the gains and losses of the past dynasties. It is understandable that Your Majesty was ignorant for a while."

Yu Wenrui turned a few more pages, "Mr. Pei has considered the details of the imperial court system very thoroughly. I'm afraid I won't be able to finish reading this notebook."

Pei Chonghui nodded and said: "National change is not in a hurry. Now that the situation in Beizheng is becoming more and more tense, this is the most important thing. As for the minister's memorial, please take a look at it in detail. One day, when His Majesty conquers Beizheng and unifies the world, I believe this memorial will definitely come in handy."

"Don't worry sir, I will take a closer look."

"Your Majesty, I have one more important thing to say."

"Sir, please speak."

Pei Chonghui said in a deep voice: "I believe that the root of the rise and fall of the past dynasties lies in people. If there are wise rulers and capable ministers, the country will be governed and the people will enjoy prosperity; if the ruler is incompetent, the ministers will inevitably run rampant, the people will suffer, and their lives will be ruined. From this point of view , Isn’t the prosperity and decline only tied to the emperor? The people also have to burn incense and pray to Buddha from time to time to pray for a "good emperor"? I think this should not be the case! Mingjun is rare and rare. It is better to rely on the rule of law than relying on the rule of man. Relying on a good system , is far better than relying on good people."

Yu Wenrui's thoughts moved.She was shocked to feel that something was breaking apart in her heart——

It was a door, a heavy, dusty, and dark door. Because of Pei Chonghui's words, it slowly cracked open one after another until it finally shattered in the dust middle.What unfolded before her eyes was a whole new world.

"Senior Sister Chai, are you looking for me?"

In the dark night, Yu Wenrui sat on the top of the Mu Huan Pavilion next to the calm-faced Chai Qi.

"Your!" Chai Qi untied the "Fei Gong" strapped to his back and stuffed it into Yu Wenrui's arms.

Yu Wenrui stared at the seal characters on the simple sword in his arms, and was stunned. It took him a while to wake up: "You killed Yang Lie?"

Hearing this, Chai Qi rolled his eyes, and said to himself, sister, I don't care about your business. Meat eaters seek it out, and sister, I'm a vegetarian!

"not me."

"Who is that?" Yu Wenrui asked urgently.

Chai Qi's snow-colored eyes swept over her, "You know..."

Yu Wenrui suddenly got up, "Is... is it Xiao Ba?"

Chai Qi did not deny it.

"She...why did she kill Yang Lie? How is she? Was she injured?"

Chai Qi stared down at Yu Wenrui's trembling palm clenched on his sleeve, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said coolly, "She's dead."

"Sister Ba...is she dead?" Yu Wenrui was startled, and looked at Chai Qi in disbelief.

"Well, seriously injured, he died after bleeding out." Chai Qi replied flatly, as if he was talking about the most common thing.

Yu Wenrui was heartbroken, staggered and fell to the ground, then suddenly jumped up, "Why didn't you save her? You are quite skilled in medicine..."

"Junior Sister," Chai Qi cut her off, "No matter how good my medical skills are, I can still save the living, but I can't save the dead!"
