Rebirth of the Faint Lord

When the emperor said this, his tone was light and casual, as if he met an acquaintance on the street and greeted him casually, asking if he had eaten.

Wang Yi's face turned pale because of this, and his whole body couldn't stop trembling.

He was obviously wearing very comfortable and soft clothes, but with Qi Junmu watching so quietly, he felt extremely cold.As if someone had smeared him with ice, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

His mind was confused, he was flustered, and he kept asking himself, how did the emperor know about this, and who betrayed him?

He thought about many people, and denied them one by one in his heart. Those who knew about this matter were all his confidants. These people more or less had something in his hands. They were grasshoppers on a boat, and they dared not betray at all. he.

After thinking about it, Wang Yi suddenly realized that it was useless for him to think about it now. Whoever betrayed and who did not betray can be checked in the future, but the premise is that he can survive this incident.

Thinking of this, Wang Yi raised his head and cried out: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged. I have been favored by the late emperor and you favored me. How dare I do such unfaithful, filial, benevolent and unrighteous things? There must be someone thinking If you want to wrong my humble minister, I hope the emperor will learn from you."

Wang Yi also had his own little thoughts. He brought up Emperor Jing at this time. On the one hand, he wanted the emperor to look at Emperor Jing and give him a chance to survive as an old official. On the other hand, there was a threat.

He was a courtier in Emperor Jing's time, and Qi Junmu got rid of him just a few months after he ascended the throne, which would inevitably chill the hearts of other veteran court officials.When the news spreads, no matter whether it is Wang Yi's fault or not, some people will think that the emperor wants to take the opportunity to eliminate the veteran under the panic.

The emperor has just ascended the throne, and most of the people in the court are the courtiers of Emperor Jing's era. If these people are twisted together, the emperor's throne will be in jeopardy.If the emperor doesn't want the court to be deserted, then he still has to take a step back.

Wang Yi felt that he was just killing a joker when Emperor Jing died, but compared with shaking the foundation of the country, it is self-evident what the emperor should do.

His behavior would naturally arouse the emperor's anger, but compared to life, offending the emperor is nothing.

The emperor only needs to take this step back today, when he will be in power, it is still possible to find a way out.

After living two lifetimes, Qi Junmu naturally knew what Wang Yi was thinking. In his previous life, it was because of these things that he had scruples about the officials in the court, so he finally thought of pampering Wang Yi so deliberately and causing public resentment.

In the end, when the decree was issued to kill Wang Yi, the people applauded all the officials and accused Wang Yi of his crimes. No one complained for him. Everyone said he deserved to die.At that time, Qi Junmu's reputation was naturally good, and he was a wise king in the hearts of many people.

In this life, of course, Qi Junmu can still be like this life, and even use some things to speed up the process, and finally he can get a good reputation.But he was not happy, because that would mean that Wang Yi would have to hang around in front of his eyes for a few more months, and he felt very uncomfortable when he thought about it.

The most important thing is that Qi Junmu doesn't know that he still has a few years to live in this life. If he still has the emperor's life for three years, he will waste a few months on Wang Yi.

Just thinking about it makes him feel aggrieved and makes him feel unhappy.

In this case, why bother to wrong yourself.

It's better to take advantage of this matter and directly slap people down. As for reputation, let it go, and you can also take this opportunity to see the reaction of everyone in the court.

Thinking of this, Qi Junmu smiled, and said, "Wang Yi, do you think I dare not do anything to you?"

Wang Yi: "?"

He felt that the emperor's reaction was a bit wrong.

Wang Yi wanted to say something, but Qi Junmu slowly raised his hands and patted him twice.

"You..." Wang Yi suddenly realized that the emperor had no intention of letting him live at all.He stood up suddenly, and the guards who came out of the rooms on both sides saw the situation, rushed forward and pinned Wang Yi to the ground.

Qi Junmu turned cold, and said, "Take him down and imprison him."

Just as Wang Yi yelled that you framed a loyal minister, he was dragged away by the imperial guards covering his mouth.

This time, Qi Junmu transferred the imperial guards of the Beiya Office. The head of the Beiya Office was Xu Guang, and Hu Ze came from under him.It happened that he was on duty today, and there was a reason why the emperor chose him.

He knew that Xu Guang was a little clever, he didn't like to ask too many questions, he only obeyed orders, and he was very loyal to the person sitting on the throne.To put it more bluntly, whoever sits on the throne will obey whose orders he is loyal to.

It doesn't matter if it's Emperor Jing or Qi Junmu, as long as it's the emperor, so it's not a big deal for Qi Junmu to send some guards to come.

When Wang Yi was pushed down, Qi Junmu left Xu Guang behind and encouraged him a few words.After the death of Wang Yi in the previous life, Qi Junmu transferred Yang Jinglei to Beishan, and Xu Guang became the left commander of the imperial guards.

At that time, Xu Guang was already very calm in his work, not as young as he is now, so he had to train hard for two years before he could take on important responsibilities.

Xu Guangneng could feel that the emperor attached great importance to him. Although he was a little puzzled, he was very excited about the emperor's reward and trust, and was excited to be reused by the emperor.

When Xu Guang retreated, Qi Junmu leaned on the couch and ordered someone to come and serve tea.Ruan Jiqing went to Beishan with the imperial decree, and Xia Guo, the supervisor of rituals, was on duty all day long.There were also several eunuchs who served the emperor, and Ruan Jiqing was the one who often followed the emperor.

After all, Ruan Jiqing was only one person, and he would naturally need someone to exchange value with him on weekdays. Those who could serve the emperor were all from the Supervisor of Ceremonies.Last time, Ruan Jiqing gave his godson, a young eunuch who had just joined the supervisor of ceremonies, the great deed of the day, based on the idea that the fat and water would not flow to outsiders.

In the end, his godson died. Although Qi Junmu didn't say anything about it, Ruan Jiqing faintly felt from his attitude that it was not that simple. His godson almost killed him.

So after Ruan Jiqing left the palace this time, the people serving the emperor's affairs supervisors came in turn, and they all showed their faces in front of the emperor, and they all got the chance to trample Ruan Jiqing under their feet.

Qi Junmu didn't care about the small thoughts of the people around him at all. His main purpose was to catch Wang Yi. This time he didn't intend to leave Wang Yi as a disaster.

Therefore, when Wang Yi entered the palace this time, he entered the Palace of the King of Hades.It's just that he didn't reveal the slightest thing about it on weekdays, even Ruan Jiqing, who often followed him, didn't know a little bit, so even Wang Yi himself thought it was an ordinary job report.

Of course, if Qi Junmu hadn't experienced this once, he wouldn't have thought that Wang Yi had committed it.People who sell laughter in brothels have no relatives and friends, and their friends are all fake.

Even if she dies, no one will avenge her.

Except for this incident, Wang Yi didn't have much other things to catch.

Now that Wang Yi was caught by Qi Junmu so unexpectedly, the rest of the matter will be much easier.

Waiting for Shen Nian to dig out Wang Gu's body, this matter will be considered over.

Thinking of Shen Nian who was staying in Beishan, Qi Junmu smiled, this time the credit has to be given to Shen Nian.As the emperor squatted in the palace every day, he would definitely not be able to find out about this.

For Shen Nian, Qi Junmu has already helped to fabricate the story, and it will be another good story when it spreads.

Xia Guo poured good tea, and seeing the smile on the emperor's face, he hastily flattered him, "My servant congratulates the emperor on getting rid of a treacherous minister today."

Qi Junmu took two sips of tea, and when he heard this, he glanced at Xia Guo, and suddenly understood why Ruan Jiqing left the capital for Xia Guo to serve.People in this world are always harmless without comparison.

Qi Junmu put down the small and exquisite teacup, and then he said: "Xia Guo, learn how Ruan Jiqing does things when you have nothing to do on weekdays. People who talk a lot can live without their tongues. If they lose their lives Alright, so what to do."

Xia Guo's obsequious smile froze on her face, her whole expression was frightened and obsequious, looking funny and ridiculous.

After Qi Junmu said this, he didn't look at Xia Guo, he was thinking about the consequences of this incident.Wang Yi was arrested suddenly, there must be a lot of people who will come to inquire about the news in a while, and when the time comes, everyone will have a reason, and it will annoy a person to death.

Suddenly the emperor missed Shen Nian a little bit, with Shen Nian standing in front, many things could not be so annoying.

@@@

And Shen Nian, who was missed by Qi Junmu, sneezed hard in Wanggu, Cheng Jin looked at him worriedly and whispered: "Master Hou, are you okay?"

Ruan Jiqing on the side was also full of smiles: "Master Hou must take care of his health, the emperor said, as long as bones can be dug out in this valley as Lord Hou said, then Lord Hou will be a great achievement, and the emperor will reward you a lot." .”

After talking about it, he was a little envious. He knew all the rewards Qi Junmu had prepared, and they were all treasures.

There are eight fist-sized night pearls alone, packed in sandalwood boxes.He had been coveting that thing for a long time, and always felt that the emperor was such a stingy person, he would not give it to others even if the night pearl was dusty and dusty.

In the end, Shen Nian had a lot of face, credits were made one after another, and the real gold and silver became more and more each time, he was so envious in his heart.

But Shen Nian, who was envied by everyone, just wanted to scold people. When Ruan Jiqing brought people here today, he was still puzzled.

He gave the emperor a note, saying that the Beishan imperial guards were slack in training, and Beishan still had good wine hidden, and the generals and soldiers were happy together.The training of the imperial guards is full of loopholes, and it is simply vulnerable.

As a result, Ruan Jiqing came here with a murderous spirit, saying that the emperor had received his note and detained Wang Yi in the prison, and he was only waiting to dig out the corpse in Wanggu, and then he would punish Wang Yi.

From Ruan Jiqing's mouth, the story of Zhenbei Hou Shen Nian is like this.

It is said that a brothel woman named Xiang'er died of an illness suddenly. She was not a well-known oiran in the capital, so no one mentioned her after her death.

On this day, Shen Nian was stopped by Xiang'er's admirer who had nowhere to go, and said that he wanted to sue Wang Yi for drinking and having fun during the national funeral, and killing people.

This admirer saw Xiang'er being taken away with his own eyes that day, and he was very surprised at that time, who would be so bold to do such a thing during the national mourning.Naturally, Wang Yi would not use his real identity to recruit prostitutes, so this man followed him all the way and saw that he was sent to General Beishan's camp.

He is Xiang'er's admirer, so he is naturally heartbroken and pitiful for her.From the teasing laughter of those people all the way, he heard a general, he knew that it was Wang Yi who recruited Xiang'er.He didn't dare to say anything, so he could only go back sullenly, thinking to quickly save money and take Xiang'er away from this place of right and wrong.

After all, people who are having fun during the national mourning will be beheaded if rumors spread.

As a result, the news came the next day that Xiang'er had contracted an illness and died. The procuress of the brothel only said that she had the disease of willows, and she was also thrown in a random graveyard.

Wang Yi and the old bustard were innocent, as innocent as a white lotus.

But the lover knew that this was not the case. After the new emperor ascended the throne, he suffered a lot these days and wanted to seek justice for Xiang'er day and night.

It's just that most of the officials he could find in the capital were not good people. After Shen Nian returned to the capital, he thought about the reputation of Marquis Zhenbei on the border, so he found them and told him about his grievances.

Zhenbei Hou naturally didn't believe this, but in the spirit of making decisions for the people, he took advantage of the time when he came to patrol Beishan, and while drinking with Wang Yi, he set out the place where Xiang'er was buried.

In order to avoid the news from leaking out, he filed a complaint in public, and sent another confidential letter in private.

The emperor was naturally furious when he knew about this, and directly ordered Ruan Jiqing to come to support Zhenbei Hou with an imperial decree in digging people.

This story is quite twists and turns, if Shen Nian is not the main character in it, he would like to applaud it.

Now he can only direct the guards brought by Ruan Jiqing to dig the grave in Wanggu with a blank face. Fortunately, Wang Yi explained the matter in detail, and the bones were buried in a place with a terrain like a pig.

Of course, Shen Nian also learned about this place from Wang Yi.

There is a large area where Wanggu looks like a pig, Shen Nian has seen many dead people and buried many dead people with his own hands.He looked at the traces on the ground and quickly found the difference, so he ordered people to start digging on the pig's butt.

It took half an hour to dig.

Shen Nian was thinking about this when suddenly he heard someone shouting in front of him: "It's been dug out."

Ruan Jiqing was very happy, this great contribution was due to Shen Nian, and he could eat some meat dregs after following him.He smiled at Shen Nian: "The emperor is right, Lord Hou will not let him down."

Shen Nian heheed twice, and stepped forward to direct the people to dig out the bones.

Beishan imperial guards were originally panicked because of Wang Yi's arrest, but now they saw that the bones were actually dug up in Wanggu, they couldn't believe it.

Shen Nian had already had people arrest the guards and generals around Wang Yi, but now facing the evidence, those people immediately confessed and pulled off all the clothes Wang Yi was wearing, even the underpants that concealed his shame. Not left.

The matter went smoothly, Ruan Jiqing was very happy, and the guards who followed Shen Nian such as Wang Jun and Hu Ze were also very happy.

Cheng Jin was a little depressed and worried. He knew that Shen Nian was a person who could not get used to many things, but after returning to the capital, Shen Nian's methods were too rough, and he trusted the emperor too much.

This matter involves important court officials, if the emperor doesn't want to pursue it, how will Shen Nian get along with him then?

The most important thing is to offend the courtiers in such a high-profile way, isn't it too ostentatious?In his memory, Shen Nian was really not a flamboyant person.

Cheng Jin had always believed in Shen Nian and knew that he was very measured in doing things, but Shen Nian's current situation was obviously not good, just like the group of people they met in the northern border who believed in the Virgin of the White Lotus.

It can simply be called evil.

What Cheng Jin was thinking, Shen Nian glanced at him and knew it.

He said in a low voice with no expression on his face: "Of course I believe in the emperor. Don't think too much about anything. It's useless to think about it." Does he not believe that the emperor can do it? No, the protagonist of the story, the emperor, has already taken care of it for him.

Cheng Jin only felt that Shen Nian's mouth was full of strange resentment, and he felt very helpless. If he didn't want to do these things, he could just shirk it.Now that I've done it and I'm angry, I can't think about it.

@@@

Since Shen Nian and Ruan Jiqing had really dug up human bones, and with the testimony of the Beishan guards, Wang Yiguo drank and had fun during the funeral, the crime of murder afterwards could not be escaped.

Naturally, Shen Nian wanted to return to the palace with Ruan Jiqing to return to his command. Before leaving, he temporarily brought up Wang Yi's lieutenant, Xun Bai, and asked him to calm these people down. It will be fine, maybe there will be some other good luck.

Xun Bai heard Shen Nian's meaning, he was both terrified and excited.

Wang Yi made a mistake, this General Beishan will definitely not be able to do it, so there is hope for him?

After giving Xun Bai a carrot, Shen Nian left the guards he had brought for him to help, and then left Beishan on horseback.

Shen Nian suddenly wanted to see the emperor, he wanted to know what was going on in Qi Junmu's head.

It is rare for the monarch and his subjects to have such a tacit understanding, and they really want to see each other.

On Shen Nian's way to Beijing, the emperor blocked a group of people who wanted to inquire about the news, he didn't see any courtiers including Lin Xiao, he only said that everything would be discussed after Shen Nian came back.

A group of people scolded Shen Nian bloody in their hearts. Can't Shen Nian just be his own Marquis of Zhenbei when he has nothing to do?Temporarily acting as Yang Jinglei's position in the palace, temporarily acting temporarily, the emperor wanted to give the Shen family favor, and they had nothing to say.

But what about Shen Nian, what was he trying to do, he could dig up corpses even when he ran to Beishan, and he could even pull a Beishan general off his horse.What is he trying to do, what kind of disturbance is he trying to create in the court?

Lin Xiao stood among the courtiers without saying a word, his face was a bit dignified, Su Ren looked at him, sighed and smiled wryly: "As Jing Zhaoyin, the emperor may hold me accountable for this incident."

Hearing this, the officials who had made good friends with him hurriedly comforted him and said, "Master Su, what do you say? You are responsible for the unfavorable supervision, but you really can't blame you for this matter. The capital is so big, and it's the one who died. No one reported the girl in the brothel, how could Mr. Su be able to see everything clearly."

Su Ren shook his head, and was about to say that he was different, he was offended in the hall a few days ago.

Seeing his expression, some officials immediately thought of this.For a while, his face was not good-looking, and he looked at each other with other colleagues, their eyes flickering.

Lin Xiao glanced at him and said quietly: "Master Su, the Marquis of Zhenbei is coming soon, he is not forgiving. Hearing what you said, I am afraid that in Master Su's mind, is it possible that the emperor is the emperor?" Such a stingy person? When the word reaches the ears of the emperor, the emperor knows that Mr. Su is such a gossip, and those who should not be punished will be punished in a manner."

After understanding the warning in Lin Xiao's words, Su Ren's face became more bitter, and he said: "Master Zuo, it's not that the lower officials are worried, it's just that the emperor is too fond of Zhenbeihou. Zhenbeihou said a word It can be worth our ten sentences. Take this incident as an example, the Marquis of Zhenbei only sent a secret letter, and the emperor detained Wang Yi."

"It is said that when Wang Yi was taken away by the imperial guards, he kept yelling that he was wronged. If this is true, then Zhenbeihou is a great achievement. We veterans can only congratulate Zhenbeihou for his meritorious service, but if it is false , Your Majesty is too rash to do this, Wang Yi will have nowhere to put his face, if he insists on making trouble for the Marquis of Zhenbei, what will your Majesty do?"

Lin Xiao said indifferently: "Since the emperor dares to do this, there must be evidence."

He knew the emperor, and he was not a person who randomly put people in prison without evidence.But that being said, Shen Nian's emperor has indeed gone a little too far recently.

Favor a person to seize his military power, but you can't let this person be too domineering.

This is not good for the emperor's reputation, he should also remind the emperor to let Zhenbei Hou restrain himself.

The emperor treats his courtiers with looseness and tightness.Pushing Shen Nian into a hurry is not a good thing for the emperor.But being too indulgent to Shen Nian will only make Shen Nian disregard the emperor even more, and even less want to hand over military power.

Lin Xiao was thinking about how to let the emperor teach Shen Nian a lesson.

Of course, today's incident, no one thought that Zhenbeihou was just a blame man, and all the things were directed and performed by the emperor himself.

Even Lin Xiao, who knew Qi Jun deeply, couldn't think of it.

They put all their eyes on Shen Nian, and the emperor is just a poor man who wants the military power in Shen Nian's hands, so he can only tolerate and trust his actions.
