Clear and Muddy Loss of Love

Three lives cloudy and sunny

Although Ding You was reluctant to part with Qi Yan, fortunately, he still had an overall perspective, and he knew that if he stayed any longer, he would only cause Qi Yan trouble.

Ding You's mansion is 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 is in control of the pulse of the nobles in the inner court, and he is not allowed to leave his post without the inner court's permission. After discovering that Ding You had escaped, the royal doctor Wang of the imperial hospital immediately reported to the inner court and issued a wanted order, but Ding You was no longer in the capital.Coupled with the fact that the inner court is too busy to take care of themselves, how can anyone really take care of a small imperial doctor?

Ding You tossed and turned day and night for ten days, and finally arrived at the masked man's stronghold.

I haven't seen her for more than ten years, and 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, and the mission of this subordinate has been completed, so I'm here to report to you."

The masked man replied indifferently: "I already know that you have worked hard these years. Tell me, what reward do you want?"

The masked man's answer did not meet Ding You's expectations, besides 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, and I dare not ask for any reward. I just want to go back to the Wuming Valley, and ask the master to continue to hand over the medical house to the villain."

The masked man thought for a while and replied, "Let Wuhan University send you off tomorrow."

Ding You: "Don't bother Brother Wu, the safety of the master is the most important thing. Although the villain has been away from the valley for many years, he never dares to forget the way home. I just go back by myself."

Masked man: "Alright, you've done a good job. I'll reward you well when the palace settles the matter."

Ding You: "Thank you, Master."

……

Ding You was brought into the mansion blindfolded, and was also sent out blindfolded.

Wuhan University gave Ding You a horse, and a package was tied to the saddle, which contained all the dry food and a change of clothes needed for the road.

Wuhan University: "Let's hit the road."

Ding You rode on his horse and walked away without looking back. He didn't go in another direction until Ding You disappeared from Wuhan University. He went around cautiously a few times to make sure no one was following him before returning to the masked man's mansion.

……

Jingjia 16th February [-]th.

There was a vacancy in the Ministry of War, and the former Minister of the Ministry of War was the old Ministry of the Taiwei Mansion. During the years when Lu Quan went to Tangquan Mountain to recuperate, the Minister of the Ministry of War fully supported Lu Boyan, the son of the Lu Mansion, Zuo Pushe.It's a pity that people's calculations are not as good as heaven's calculations. Today's Taiwei Mansion is divided into three parts under Qi Yan's strategy. It is reasonable to say that the six departments are under the unified jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education. This military department is special. Although it is under the command of Xing Jingfu in name, it actually obeys Dispatched by the Taiwei Mansion.

After Lu Zhongxing talked with Nangong Shunv, he thought about it for a long time, and now there are only three princes left, and the other two princes are withdrawn and young, he really can't think of who His Majesty likes.

It wasn't until he caught the news from the nephew in the palace that the Seventh Prince Nangong had been invited to Weiming Palace for a month.

Lu Zhongxing understood: I didn't expect that His Majesty the Seventh Prince, who was so inconspicuous, was actually hiding his strength and biding his time!

After Lu Zhongxing became a captain, he wore a lot of small shoes for those courtiers who had supported his eldest brother, especially the Ministry of War.

The Minister of the Ministry of War was made things 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.

Nangongda naturally agreed. In a peaceful and prosperous age, the Ministry of War is not very impressive, but the current situation is tense and the Ministry of War is rising. Nangong Da is suffering from the fact that the Ministry of War has no confidantes.

But this time... things didn't go as smoothly as Nangongda imagined.

In the selection of the Minister of the Ministry of War, several forces are not giving in.

First of all, Nangongda, Lu Zhongxing, and Xing Jingfu each elected one person, which made Nangongda unexpected.

That's all for Lu Zhongxing, maybe he didn't see the situation clearly when he returned to the court for the first time, but Xing Jingfu, an old fox, has been silent since last year. As long as he doesn't specifically ask him about any political opinions he puts forward, he won't make a sound, even if he is asked, will also agree.

This time, he suddenly jumped out and quarreled with Nangong Da, and even elected a new sixth-rank official from Jinzhou to be the servant!

When Lu Boyan saw that his younger brother had nominated a candidate, he first objected, and then he broke the can and pushed out another person.

Now, there are actually four candidates for the position of Minister of War!

Nangongda's face was ugly, he directly bypassed the Lu family brothers, and asked Xing Jingfu: "Master Zhongshu Ling is too eclectic in the appointment of talents, isn't he? It seems that even going up to six levels is too much."

Xing Jingfu came out silently with a jade wat in his hand, and said in a loud voice: "Your Highness, what you said is wrong. The old minister was just a minor background in the past. It is all because of His Majesty's insightful eyes, entrusting him with a heavy responsibility that he is what he is today. Now Looking back at the more than ten years that this old minister has been in office, we can see how well-informed His Majesty is, according to the regulations, he can be promoted up to six ranks in an official position, and the old minister has not exceeded the limit."

Which one in the court is not a human spirit?They all knew that Xing Jingfu was a faction loyal to the emperor. When His Majesty was in good health, it was all up to him to charge into the battle to check and balance the Taiwei Party. Since last year, he has gradually become silent.

Today, he suddenly jumped out and openly confronted the prince Jian Guo, what does this mean?

Most of Xing Jingfu's political opinions are His Majesty's intentions. Could it be that... His Majesty has another candidate in mind for the crown prince?

Yes!It must be like this, if not, why would His Majesty make a will?Wouldn't it be enough to declare the fifth prince as the prince directly?

After thinking this through, those former followers of Xing Jingfu responded one after another: "Your Highness, I think what Zhongshu Ling said is very true."

"The minister seconded the proposal. As the saying goes, "knowing people and doing good work is good. Master Xing has not overstepped the rules. This recommendation is valid."

"Returning to Your Highness, according to the law, the candidates for the six ministers should first be recommended by the previous generation of senior officials, and handed over to the Zhongshuling for drafting. For officials below the third rank, the Zhongshuling will appoint them first, and then please play to Your Majesty." The implication of the words is, The fifth prince, Nangong Dacai, was acting as Yuezu.

Nangongda's complexion became more and more ugly, and he also practiced hypocrisy even with a handicapped body, and he showed a warm smile: "Everyone's family is right, Master Xing has served as Zhongshuling for many years, and his natural insight is as good as yours." Torch. But... I remember this..." He opened the memorial and glanced at it, and continued: "This Jinzhou Qin De was the second place in the Jinke last year, right? He just missed the championship last year, so young. I am worried about him Can't handle it..."

Xing Jingfu: "Your Highness, you don't need to worry, the veterans will guide you personally. If your Highness is really worried, you can first remember Qin De as the Minister of the Ministry of War. The position of Minister of the Ministry of War is temporarily vacant, and Qin De can practice before he becomes a regular."

Nangongda: "That's...very good, let's do as Lord Xing said. Do you still have your books?"

……

Nangongda: "Retire."

Xing Jingfu left the main hall and walked on the palace road, many old ministries chased after him, and wanted to ask questions around Xing Jingfu.

Xing Jingfu waved his hand: "My lords don't need to say much, I'm just doing my duty as a minister."

Lu Zhongxing was not far away, and seeing this scene further confirmed that what Nangong Shunv said was true, maybe it was His Majesty who gave Xing Jing some secret decree, so he openly confronted the fifth prince in the court hall, and reduced Nangongda's position in the court. forces in.

Gong Yanghuai, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, also saw this scene, he knew that this was not the original intention of Xing Jingfu, but Qi Yan achieved it with that secret decree.

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, Nangongrang had been dead for a month.

The cold winter was quietly leaving, and on the third day after Nangong Rang passed away, the gate of Ganquan Palace was closed tightly. Sijiu used command arrows to mobilize the Imperial Forest Army to guard against death, and no one was allowed to enter.

Sijiu opened the window of Nangongrang's bedroom, and asked the servant to carry a few ice bricks as big as a cabinet from the cellar. The whole bedroom was as cold as an ice cellar, and Nangongrang's body was wrapped in ice by Sijiu. superior.

Almost every day, corpses were transported out of Ganquan Palace, sometimes it was a servant girl, sometimes it was a few servants, they were all transported out from the corner gate in the dark, and were transported out of the palace together with the dung truck, Throw it on the mass grave.

These people, who accidentally saw Nangong Rang's body while serving, all of them died without leaving behind.

But... with the end of winter, things gradually became unrestrained.A large amount of ice melted every day, and the elderly Sijiu cleaned it up by himself, carrying out buckets of water, and the ice cellar in the inner court was almost running out.

But even so, there is still a rancid smell in the bedroom of Ganquan Palace, which can be smelled by almost everyone in the palace, and everyone is trembling and terrified all day long.

Sijiu was finally exhausted, he handed over his command arrow to a trustworthy person, and asked him to invite Qi Yan.

When Qi Yan saw Lingjian, he also knew that it was Nangong Rang who could not hide it. Fortunately, the Youzhou government soldiers 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 [-] army is so huge, the news spread like wildfire, but Shangguan Wu made a decisive decision and detained all the court officials who came to inquire. In addition, Qin De was in the Ministry of War, and there were Gongyanghuai, Lu Zhongxing, Xing Jingfu and others in the court. As a patron, he managed to hide the truth from Nangongda.

Qi Yan took the four-nine command arrow and found Nangong Jingnv.

Nangong Sunu and Nangong Shunu were also there, and these two Highnesses worked hard to "accompany" Nangongli in shifts every day.

Qi Yan: "Your Highness, I have something I want to tell you."

Nangong Jingnu: "Tell me, there are no outsiders here."

Qi Yan pursed her lips: "Your Majesty is dead."

Nangong Jingnu's tears welled up all at once: "When did it happen?"

Nangong Sunu sighed, and Qi Yan continued: "Jingjia's 16th year, the second day of February."

Nangong Jingnv's eyes widened instantly: "The second day of February? How could it be...?"

Qi Yan: "It's my minister..."

With a "slap", Nangong Jingnv slapped Qi Yan, crying and shouting: "How dare you? Ben Gong didn't even know about the father's death for a month! How dare you suppress this matter!"

The Wei State adheres to Confucianism, and it is a respect for the dead to go to the soil to rest in peace. If it is the other way around... it is a great disrespect.

Just imagine what will happen to the body if it is not buried for a month?

Blood oozed from the corner of Qi Yan's mouth, but she grabbed Nangong Jingnv's arm to stop her from running out.

Qi Yan: "Your Highness, listen to me..."

Qi Yan met Nangong Jingnu's eyes, and Qi Yan's heart twitched when he saw the defensiveness and strangeness in them.

Disappointed and sad, Nangong Jingnv asked Qi Yan in multiple voices: "Did you transfer the Imperial Forest Army? You dare to do things like lock the palace? Did you tell them not to allow me to enter Ganquan Palace? Didn't you!"

Qi Yan: "Your Highness..."

Nangong Jingnu: "Let go!"
