The night in Mobei came earlier than in Chang'an.
Mobei Wang Bairi did what he said, sending boxes of treasures to the National Teacher's Mansion, and made a full gesture towards the government and the public.Funanyin didn't think it was too hot to handle, and a few night pearls were taken out separately, and placed neatly in the corner of the study.
The moon was shining brightly outside, and the room seemed like daytime.
Funanyin sat leisurely in front of the desk flipping through a classic that he had just brought out from the library. It seemed that he had not had time to finish reading it earlier. The annotations were only half done, but judging from the color of the dried ink, it should be too late. for several years.
Tonight's milk skin naan is not to the taste of Prince Zhongyuan.Li Pei walked around the study several times with some discomfort in his stomach, although most of the time he stayed by the table, watching Fu Nanyin's knuckle-boned hands gently turning over the old books on the table one by one. Scrolling, the fingertips occasionally slid between the lines, and then some tactile sensations that existed in the memory not long ago emerged involuntarily.
Extremely depressing, he let out a breath slowly, but happened to have his eyes intertwined with Fu Nanyin who raised his head for the first time in half an hour.
"If you are really idle..."
Funanyin's hand holding the tea cup tightened suddenly, but she just lowered her eyes so that the people beside her couldn't see her expression clearly.
"I will bring in the old doctor who was thrown into the courtyard. My family's hidden guards have not done things according to the rules, and the outside is even more exposed. If it is later, Medical Worker Liu may suffer."
Li Pei had some surprise on his face at first, pushed open the door and took a few steps towards the base of the courtyard wall, and sure enough, he saw a man tied up and thrown on the ground, blindfolded, gagged, struggling in pain.
Even though he was old and still had the strength to struggle, it was obvious that he had just been thrown in.
Thinking about it carefully, there should be a lot of movement outside, but unfortunately he was out of his mind and didn't hear it.
But it shouldn't be so unnoticed.
For the first time, the dignified prince condescendingly untied a medical worker, and also untied the black cloth covering his eyes. The expression on his face was extremely complicated, as if he had noticed that the hidden guard was being attacked by him. Underestimated power, and Fu Nanyin's tacit understanding to match it.
The bright light in the room suddenly came into his eyes, and Liu Yigong subconsciously covered his eyes with his hands. After seeing the people around him clearly, he suddenly turned around and knelt on the ground in fear.
"His... Your Highness...?"
Li Pei was squatting beside him, looking thoughtful.
"Medical Worker Liu, a rare visitor."
The person whose name was called turned his head mechanically, and saw Mobei Guoshi standing up from the large armchair, and nodded condescendingly towards him,
"I heard you want to see me."
Even if he had met someone several times, Liu Yigong felt a strange sense of strangeness at this moment.His gaze slowly looked up at Fu Nanyin from bottom to top. If it wasn't for the undisturbed lower abdomen and unchanging appearance, Liu Yigong even felt that he had admitted the wrong person.
The protege who was trapped in Chang'an was restrained, even though his eyes were sometimes sharp, but his words and deeds were not tepid after all.But the one in front of him, although his attire is the same as before, the coercion and sharpness he carries on his body is not inferior to the prince of the country beside him.
Let the tiger go back to the mountain.
Liu Yigong's mind kept echoing the conclusions of the ministers and nobles in Chang'an about the proton's departure from Beijing, and he didn't take it seriously at first.Until now, he suddenly felt that it was not superfluous to be a little jealous of this person.
It turns out that this is the original appearance of Mobei Guoshi.
The daze of the old doctor in front of him seemed to be within his expectation.Funanyin didn't urge her, but turned sideways and stretched out her hand to pull Li Pei up.
"It's cold on the ground, go sit on a chair."
It was not the prisoner hiding behind the prince who was ready to be slaughtered, but the official who held the authority - he could speak such a strong tone to the prince, asking the prince to brave the cold wind to bring himself into the house, calling The prince squatted on the ground to untie himself, and asked the prince to sit aside...
It is no longer the national teacher who "surrenders" and "His Royal Highness" one by one.
Li Pei was very kind, and the person who was still thinking had a playful smile at the corner of his mouth, said "OK" in a low voice, and sat in the armchair that Funanyin had just sat in.
The house was quiet, only the crackling sound of the charcoal basin burning.Maybe it was too busy, Liu Yigong was a little hot, and a layer of sweat oozes from the forehead.
"It's the minister... you don't care about the fetus in the womb of the national teacher, so..."
"Is the emperor of the Central Plains ready?"
Liu Yigong was taken aback, bowed his head and said: "The minister has filed a leave, the saint doesn't know that the minister has arrived in Mobei."
He was really not suitable for lying, even if he had thought about a sentence in advance, it was still a bit embarrassing to say.
"This can be regarded as deceiving the emperor. It seems that Liu Yigong is planning to abandon the dark and turn to the bright for my child, completely leave the Central Plains, and serve my Mobei allegiance."
Funanyin laughed casually twice, but it frightened Liu Yigong, and he couldn't help looking at the prince above.Unexpectedly, Li Pei just glanced at Fu Nanyin lightly, and didn't intend to pay attention to it.
Liu Yigong didn't know what the sage and the national teacher had planned before, but he should know based on the sage's attitude before leaving the palace, that was to protect Fu Nanyin for the prince and the old man.However, the person in front of him clearly said that he had returned to Mobei, and he wanted to fight against the Central Plains.
Before he could say anything, Medical Worker Liu wrinkled his old face.
Funanyin raised her eyebrows.
"The saint is so kind, I didn't expect the national teacher to be so disappointing. Since you mean it, I am sorry that I came here by mistake..."
"So Medical Worker Liu's trip is also the kindness of the saint?"
Funanyin suddenly made a sound, causing the person at the door to stagger suddenly. Just as he was about to retort, he heard someone speak again, with an indelible mockery in his tone:
"The sage knew that I was pregnant with the seed of his precious prince, and asked you to come and give me an abortion?"
Liu Yigong turned around in surprise, opened his mouth, and looked at Fu Nanyin in disbelief:
"How did the national teacher know?"
However, the latter didn't answer him, and didn't even look at him. Instead, he turned around and accidentally caught Li Pei's gaze.The two looked at each other for a while, Fu Nanyin chuckled and said, "The last question,"
"Is the purpose 'kill the father and keep the son', or 'one corpse and two lives'?"
Li Pei could clearly see the coldness behind Fu Nanyin's smile, and the moment the latter finished speaking, the book in his hand fell in response, and the man who had pretended to be obedient just now stood up suddenly, protecting Funanyin in his arms. Standing behind him, he looked warily at the old doctor who hadn't expected what was going to happen.
"Do not……"
Doctor Liu was flustered eager to prove himself, "The sage just asked the minister to come to give birth to the national teacher, so naturally he wanted 'mother and child to be safe'..."
After a pause, he changed his voice: "Father and son."
"Really? That's because I was wrong." Seeing his distressed appearance, Funanyin didn't intend to let him go.His hand was on Li Pei's shoulder, the force was not light, obviously it had other meanings in it,
"Then ask another question."
"The last man who was pregnant...what happened?"
……
Without Funanyin and Li Pei, Chang'an became quiet all of a sudden.
The ministers and workers in the court had less targets to criticize, and all their flags and drums died down, and they also lost some of the anger of the former warring heroes in the court meeting.
The most lively place today is the Linzi Palace outside the former East Palace.
But today, for some unknown reason, the gates of the mansion are closed, no posts are accepted and guests are not received, and many courtiers and upstarts who went to pay their respects have been closed by the King of Linzi. Landing in front of the mansion gate, the people inside were welcomed in without hindrance.
The king of Linzi looked the same as usual, except that he had warmed several jugs of good wine. It was rare that he didn't hide his secrets when people came, but he showed a bit weird.
"Nothing can be hidden from Ke Shilang."
Ke Shunzhe, who didn't say a word after entering the door, glanced at the people seated indifferently.
"By taking advantage of the drought in Linzi and the Battle of Mobei, the officials in the middle of the court who were on the side of the prince will be exchanged. Now that Li Pei is not here, it is an excellent opportunity for us."
Hearing that familiar name, Li Jiao raised his head slightly.
"Why does he still go to Mobei to find Fu Nanyin? Could it be that he can't see through the current situation in the court? Or...don't care at all?"
Ke Shunzhe sat down, poured himself a glass of wine, and seemed to have long been accustomed to the sudden thoughts of King Linzi.
"No matter what the reason, Your Highness just needs to seize the opportunity."
Seize the opportunity to eliminate Du Xiang and Li Pei's influence in the court bit by bit. No matter how partial the sage is to the crown prince, there will always be a day when he will not be able to protect him.After all, affairs in the court need to be done by the courtiers. Without the supporters, the prince will struggle in the court and the opposition.
They have been laying out a situation for so many years, and they will be able to destroy the dead situation in a short time.
Li Jiao threw the wine bottle in his hand on the table, and with a "bang", it broke the silence in the room, and seemed to tear up the mask that had been suppressed all along.With a raised corner of his mouth, he leaned over and said to Ke Shunzhe:
"Shouldn't this king congratulate Ke Shilang today? He has been an official for seven years and is about to sit on the position of minister."
Ke Shunzhe didn't show any superfluous expression on his face.
"I thank Your Highness in advance."
Li Jiao blinked his bright eyes staring at him, suddenly realized: "So this is not the position Ke Shilang wants." He laughed, "I do have a better place here, as long as the servant helps me sit... ..."
Unfortunately, halfway through speaking, he suddenly stopped again, as if thinking of something, he murmured in a low voice:
"You said Brother Pei knew that I took advantage of this moment and took his place. He must be very disappointed."
Just because of this sentence, Ke Shunzhe's face that had been calm all this time finally brought out some emotions, including disdain, regret, and bewilderment - but he didn't know whether it was because of Li Jiao or Li Pei.
"Your Highness...hasn't he also prepared a better position for Li Pei?"
He sneered, "There is nothing to be disappointed about. Since he decided to leave the East Palace at the age of 15, he is no longer suitable to be the crown prince. Even if there is no King Linzi today, there will be other princes who will come to take his position."
Li Jiao tilted his head, watched Ke Shunzhe drink the wine in his hand after speaking, and said:
"Li Gong? How could it be because of his leaving the palace? Could it be because of the half of Li Pei's blood... surnamed Xu?"
Ke Shunzhe did not deny it.But before he went out, he heard Li Jiao asking himself, as if he was not forgiving:
"That Funanyin is just a bereaved dog. Brother Pei, does he really not want the throne for one person? But without authority, what else can he do?"
There were some complicated emotions in the eyes that should have been full of desire for power, struggle, confusion, and unwillingness...
Ke Shunzhe wanted to persuade him not to jump to conclusions before the dust settled, but the words came to his lips, but he didn't say them after all.
Mobei Wang Bairi did what he said, sending boxes of treasures to the National Teacher's Mansion, and made a full gesture towards the government and the public.Funanyin didn't think it was too hot to handle, and a few night pearls were taken out separately, and placed neatly in the corner of the study.
