Wolf Dysprosium

If it were someone else, if they found out that their child could become the deputy commander of the border army, they might not be happy in time, but Concubine Jin is not.When she returned to Deyuan Palace, Cen Jin was already waiting in the palace.

Cen Jin and Cen Rong went to Dayuan Temple to participate in the sacrificial ceremony together. After returning to the palace, they wanted to see if they could see Emperor Renzheng again, but they knew that even the saint and his mother were stopped by Cen Rong.He was waiting for his mother in the palace, but unexpectedly he received such news.

Concubine Jin was not very surprised when she found out that Cen Jin said, "You already knew about this?"

"My child doesn't know." Cen Jin said, "but this is not surprising. Originally, there were few generals in the court who could contend with the Jin Qiang. General Jian Liangying was in the Northern Army, Song Huaizhang was in the Southern Army. Once Zhang Yue was withdrawn, he would be familiar with the Northwest Army. I am the only one who can lead the army to fight and reassure daddy under the circumstances."

Concubine Jin's thoughts were completely different from his: "The official's heart is too cruel! As his own child, Cen Rong can handle state affairs for him, and stay in Liangjing safely, with fine clothes, fine food, horses and sedan chairs, you But go to the frontier to fight and kill. No one dares to take over such a mess of the Northwest Army. Now the Jinqiang wants to negotiate peace again. When the peace agreement is completed, you will be a sinner who will cut the land and humiliate the country. Mother is afraid that once you go there In a remote place, I will never come back.”

"Mother, don't say that." Cen Jin hurriedly comforted her, "Daddy asked me to guard the northwest, it was really helpless. After he got sick, his attitude towards me was different from before, and the battle on the battlefield was also what I wanted. It's just... the saint thinks, Once I become the deputy commander of the Northwest Army, will I become his man?"

Concubine Jin didn't want to get involved in such a complicated fight, but the situation forced her to get rid of it.She asked again: "Don't worry about the sage for now, Jin'er, I just want to ask you a question. Do you want to fight with your third brother?"

Cen Zin didn't answer for a while, thinking of the side he met with Jin Yan after You Junshan's death.

It was Jin Yan who was waiting for him to meet Xie Yuanzhi that day.The small courtyard was quiet and peaceful, and Cen Jin liked it very much.Chen Shuang and Ning Yuancheng made a snowman for Xie Yuanzhi's fat school boy in the snow. Cen Jin remembered that there was fine snow floating outside the window, and the coldness invaded people.The question Jin Yan asked him was no different from that of Concubine Jin: Are you going to fight Cen Rong?

Cen Zin thought for a long time, Jin Yan and Xie Yuanzhi waited for his reply.

As a prince, it would be a lie to say that he does not have the slightest hope for the throne.When the prince was alive, no one said anything. After the prince died, all the princes including Cen Rong were ready to move.It's just that some people are too young, some people are severely punished for their misbehavior, and some people are not good at all in literature and art, and gradually only Cen Rong is left.

Cen Jin never thought that he would be favored by Emperor Renzheng, let alone think that his temperament could take on the role of emperor.

But what Jin Yan said in Dayuan Temple really shocked him.If we can gather good and loyal ministers in the court, and cultivate capable generals in the frontier, with the assistance of these people, it is not impossible to reshape the court situation.

"When I was in Beirong, I learned from the great witch of Beirong that the people who looked at the original also believed in fate. They believed that fate was determined by the gods. People live ten lives, and what each life will be like is predetermined. Your power cannot be changed." Jin Yan said as if chatting, "The Great Witch of Beirong said that the fate of a person cannot be changed, it has been doomed since you were not born."

Jin Yan himself didn't believe in fate, but he said that Cen Jin had no choice.Cen Jin asked him why, Jin Yan smiled and said: You have no right not to believe in fate.

Cen Jin asked: What if I believe in fate?

Jin Yan replied: Change the world, revive the government; gather all the ministers of all generations, and become the king of all generations.

Seeing his silence, Concubine Jin asked again: "What are your plans? If you insist on fighting with your third brother, it is safest to rely on the Queen's power. She has no children and hates Concubine Hui, so she will naturally stand with you. If you make a decision, mother will also plan for you."

After a long silence in the room, Cen Jin raised his head and said, "Mother, I have this heart."

But before the Ministry of War issued a duty order, on a certain deep snowy night, a bell suddenly sounded terribly in the palace.

Jin Yan is watching Xie Yuanzhi teach He Lansone to play chess at Xie Yuanzhi's home.When the bell rang, Xie Yuanzhi was stunned for a moment, and was shocked: "Ziwang!"

Jin Yan hurriedly helped him out of the house, only to see the snow powder in the dark night, and the long bell one after another, came from the direction of the palace.Everything was silent, only the sound of the wind was mixed with the sound of more and more doors opening and closing.People opened the windows and opened the doors, and saw the snow blown by the winter wind, and the sky was like smoke and shadows, fluttering and wandering.Xie Yuanzhi knelt in the snow with tears in his eyes and remained silent for a long time.

In the winter of the 34th year of Yuankang, Emperor Renzheng died.

His son, Cen Rong, was the emperor before his coffin, and his reign name was Dayuan.

***

At the beginning of December, when the cold is at its deepest.Jin Yan and Chen Shuang braved the wind and snow to meet after receiving a summons from Xie Yuanzhi.

The funeral system was simplified, the new emperor took charge of the government within three days, and the people were not familiar with each other. After the great prosperity, they could live as usual.It was Xiaoxiang period at this time. Although Xie Yuanzhi was not an official of the imperial court, he still wore mourning clothes at home and kept ceremonies for the late emperor.

On this day, a stranger was also a guest at Xie Yuanzhi's house.Jin Yan only felt that he was vaguely familiar, seeing this person wearing official mourning clothes, he bowed first and saluted: "My lord."

The man smiled and said, "You don't recognize me? When you entered the palace when you were young, I even asked you about your homework."

Jin Yan confessed: "Zi Wang is stupid, adults will laugh at him."

Xie Yuanzhi asked him to sit down, and introduced: "This is Doctor Yushitai, Le Tai."

Jin Yan was secretly startled, and when he looked up, he saw Yin Shi beckoning Chen Shuang to leave.When Chen Shuang went out, she closed the doors and windows, leaving the three of them in the house to talk in secret.

After asking, I found out that Le Tai was also Xie Yuanzhi's student.He has a close relationship with Xie Yuanzhi, but after he was promoted to the imperial censor, the public communication has decreased a lot. This is what Xie Yuanzhi meant, so as not to let Le Tai fall into the mouth.

Cen Rong has already ascended the throne. Although the grand ceremony has not yet been held, he has taken over all state affairs with full power.What Le Tai came to Xie Yuanzhi to talk about was the edict of Emperor Renzheng.Xie Yuanzhi knew that this matter was no small matter, so he called Jin Yan along with him.

Not long after the death of Emperor Renzheng, rumors began to spread in the palace.It is said that the edict of Emperor Renzheng was drawn up by Cen Rong with his fingers.Emperor Renzheng was unable to write, so Cen Rong drew up the edict by himself, and asked Emperor Renzheng to put his fingerprints on the edict.Emperor Renzheng made a gesture to press it but smeared it indiscriminately.Cen Rong was furious, slapped Emperor Renzheng with his backhand, and threatened Emperor Renzheng: If he didn't obey his words, he would tamper with Emperor Renzheng's coffin, so that he would have no peace after death.

The folk rumors were vivid, and the more they were said, the more outrageous they became. In the end, some people said that it was Concubine Hui and Cen Rong who held down Emperor Renzheng and poured poison on that day, which made Emperor Renzheng lie in bed until his death.

There are so many, and so on.Chen Shuang went out to inquire about these things every day, so many stories came out, and Jin Yan couldn't tell which part was right.

"The last edict was written by me and three other civil servants. The officials and Eunuch Yang were watching. The late emperor was indeed seriously ill at the time, unable to speak or move. I will make up a sentence, and when the late emperor agrees with a blink of an eye, I will Write a sentence." Le Tai said, "There is no problem with the edict, the first emperor did let the officials succeed."

He paused, and then said in a low voice: "I saw that the late emperor's fingers did have traces of red ink. And whenever the words about making the third prince emperor, the late emperor remained silent for a long time, closing his eyes and not speaking. I saw that the late emperor There are tears in my eyes, it is really... But at that time, I can only write according to the official wishes."

Jin Yan was puzzled: "In this case, it is true that Cen Rong followed it... But why did he make such twists and turns? If he only wanted to be emperor, it would be easier to issue an edict directly in the tone of the former emperor."

Le Tai: "Because the jade seal is in the hands of Yushitai."

It turned out that after Emperor Renzheng realized that his condition had worsened, he quietly found Le Tai and ordered Yushitai to keep the jade seal and temporarily handle some political affairs.That was after Cen Rong and Grand Master Liang were grounded.Cen Rong didn't know about it.Without the seal, all edicts are useless.

Jin Yan suddenly realized: "That's why Cen Rong claimed that he can manage state affairs, and that's why Yushitai was so persistent and refused to give in."

Le Tai: "Since the fall of the first emperor, many things have been very strange. Now that the official family has succeeded to the throne, all kinds of doubts can only be let go."

But Jin Yan secretly said in his heart: It must be let it go.

At this time, Le Tai said again: "Mr. has been telling me to help take care of the fifth prince. Le Tai is in Yushitai, and there is not much he can do. Fortunately, this time he has helped the fifth prince."

Jin Yan wondered, "What's the matter?"

It turned out that the official order issued by the Ministry of War to Cen Zin had been suppressed because Emperor Renzheng was trapped in the Zihuang Palace, and the Minister of the Ministry of War could only see him when he went with Le Tai and several other ministers.And every time they met, Cen Rong was there.Minister of the Ministry of War is naturally aware of Cen Rong's current hostility towards Cen Jin, and he dare not bring this up in front of Cen Rong.

On the night of Emperor Renzheng's death, all the officials entered the palace in plain clothes.The Minister of the Ministry of War took Le Tai and quietly told him about it.Because Emperor Renzheng has gone, and Cen Rong is the successor, it is very likely that this order will not be issued.

Le Tai was quite surprised, and immediately made a decision: issue this order first before returning the jade seal.

"This order saved the fifth prince's life. Now that the fifth prince is a general in command of the Northwest Army, he has his own army, and Fenghu and Baique are important points. He will not be imprisoned or killed. "Le Tai smiled wryly, "The next day Yushitai presented the jade seal to the officials. After reading the edict, the officials were really furious."

Xie Yuanzhi shook his head slightly, Jin Ye pursed his lips tightly, feeling a strong uneasiness in his heart.

In Le Tai's impression, Cen Rong always had a good smile, but when he saw him angry at first, he was really shocked.But he only said that the order was issued by the first emperor, but it has been suppressed and not submitted.Cen Rong was helpless.

"It's still not enough." Jin Yan said again, "The Ministry of War only listens to the emperor. If Cen Rong has any strange ideas, saying that Cen Jin is not strict in governing the army, he can still be removed. His cousin, King Guangren, has many strong generals. To fill the vacancy of the commander of the Northwest Army."

"It will definitely not be now. The officials can't and dare not move the fifth prince." Le Tai said in a deep voice, "Jin Qiang sent envoys to Fenghu again, declaring that all covenants will be discussed and signed by this person. They have the appetite now. Even bigger, in addition to ceding Fenghu to Changliang City, there is also a yearly tribute of tens of thousands of taels of silver and gold, countless silk and porcelain, and the people of my family are to be enslaved in Jinqiang. The conditions are harsh and shameless, disgusting !"

Both Jin Yan and Xie Yuanzhi were quite surprised.In this way, the pressure on Cen Jin to go to the Northwest Army will only increase. "What does this have to do with the government's unruly behavior?"

"The Jin Qiang envoy who came to envoy Dayu is General Xi Lei Shizhi." Le Tai stroked his mustache and lowered his voice. "This person claims to have had a relationship with Cen Jin outside Baiqueguan. He only talked with Cen Jin about the peace alliance. Only when Cen Jin comes forward to negotiate, can the above conditions be reversed."
