[Comprehensive Martial Arts] The Road to Powerful Ministers

Beijing, winter solstice.

The new wind and snow, this year's winter solstice is really cold!There is heavy snow in the sky, and people's hearts are cold and desolate. The whole capital is dark and cold, and there are no traces of pedestrians on the streets. Everyone is hiding at home!The crown prince was deposed, how big of a deal is this?The people under the sky are more politically sensitive than local officials.

In such a snowy day, there were two people sitting in a box facing the street. They didn't come to eat hot pots to keep warm, nor did they come to enjoy the street scene in the snow. They came to wait for someone.The cold wind was blowing, but the windows were half open. The people they were waiting for did not know how many people were also watching secretly, but they never dared to show up.

Huamanzhu and Huamanxi sat quietly in the private room, with a pot of hot tea and three stacks of dried fruit on the table. They came from the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River, but their food was so simple. Liver and phoenix marrow, Huamanzhu and Huamanxi are also not in the mood to eat.

The Hua General and Hua Shilang back then are now the Hua Da Jiang and Hua Shangshu. The Hua family is wealthy, and there are people in shopping malls, officialdom, and rivers and lakes. The official careers of these two people are very smooth.

The two of the proud sons of heaven sat in this cold box, waiting quietly.

Suddenly, the sound of galloping horses sounded on the street, Hua Manzhu stood by the window, the half-open window could see the outside, but if the angle was right, the outside could not see the inside.

Hua Manzhu watched a cavalry team of 20 people galloping forward. The horses are Maxima, and the people are outstanding people. The two leaders are wearing black fox cloaks, and the riders behind them are all wearing gray-yellow fur furs. Came from outside the customs.

This team galloped past on Chang'an Avenue, but within a short while, the stream was full of flowers and bamboos, and there were not many people watching.

After the cavalry team had passed, Hua Manzhu sat back at the table with heavy steps and said, "He's back."

"Yeah, another ten years have passed." Hua Manxi said.

"What is he doing back at this time?" Hua Manzhu was not questioning, he was just sighing, he knew what he wanted to do.

"Aside from saving the crown prince, what else can he do? That person's love is well known in the world."

"Ah~"

"Ah~"

Two heavy sighs resounded in the box, and the objects of their sighs were Prince Zhaoye, Crown Prince Taifu, Ge Lao, first-rank official Yun Weijue, who is also the prime minister and heir of Yuguo, Yun Weijue.

Now that Hua Manxi has been promoted to Minister of Rites and has more say in royal affairs, he sighed, "What's the use of Master Yun coming back at this time?"

Yun Weijue went to the Western Regions ten years ago, and now it should be called Yuguo. The newly born children no longer know the Western Regions and Rouran. They only know Yuguo, and more and more people know Yuguo. country.Yuguo's strong wine is the best choice for scalding a pot in winter; Yuguo's fur is luxurious and beautiful, and is most liked by rich wives; Yuguo's wool products are the warmest, and ordinary people can afford them, so they are the best Cold-proof option.Even if you don’t like these, then you at least like the mutton skewers stalls on the street. Those sheep are grassland sheep brought over from Yuguo, and they are the most delicious.Because of the rise of Yu Guo, the cooperation between the two countries opened up the Silk Road. Now there are more and more foreigners in the capital. Foreigners with yellow hair and red hair can be seen everywhere, and the common people are not surprised.

And all of this is due to the former Prince Zhaoye, who is now the Prime Minister of Yuguo, who manages Yuguo's internal affairs single-handedly. The emperor of Yuguo is indeed the pioneer who opened up the territory, and the territory of Yuguo has been pushed westward. After thousands of miles, Huamanxi and Huamanzhu thought of Yun Weijuan, admiring his ability and ability, but also worried that Yuguo was too powerful to threaten their own country, and there were many thoughts in their hearts.

"Master Yun is coming back at this time, I'm afraid he wants to keep the crown prince." Hua Manzhu replied to his younger brother. "Master Yun left Yuguo back then, and it is said that the crown prince let him go. Hey~, His Majesty kept this matter secret, and no one in the court dared to mention it. The name of the court said that Master Yun was sent as an envoy by order, but what is the truth? No one in the world knows, but it's just for... Guo Ping."

The name Guo Ping seemed to have turned on a certain switch on Hua Manxi's body, and he was unwilling to practice closed mantra, saying: "Guo Ping! Today's martial arts No. 1, except for the legendary characters, I am still the number one!" Once I saw the strength of Dao Grandmaster, it is really extraordinary, it looks like a fairy, it is said that there is a realm of broken void above Grandmaster, I don't know if I can see that magnificent scene in my body." Huajia There is a family tradition of martial arts, and the seven brothers are all talented. Although Hua Manxi took the road of civil servants in the imperial examination, he is also very enthusiastic about martial arts.

"People say that there is a thin line between a genius and a lunatic. Who would have thought that two extremely talented people would love each other." Hua Manzhu shook his head and smiled wryly.In fact, the two were older and unmarried. At the beginning, everyone thought that no woman was worthy of those two people. The clan daughter was too delicate, everyone was old-fashioned, Xiaojiabiyu was stingy, and the chivalrous woman was rude. , Under the circumstances of being picky, these two people are so tolerant when they are not married.But after Yun Weijue and Guo Ping got together, everyone felt that whatever status was good, as long as she was a woman, even a widow, she could give birth to a son to inherit the incense, right?

Of course, this is the thinking of ordinary people, such as Hua Manzhu, Hua Manxi, etc. were too shocked to speak at first, but they also felt reasonable afterwards.Such two people will be ashamed no matter who stands beside them, and it is reasonable for two people to marry each other, at least they are a good match.

"Yeah, who would have thought of that." Hua Manxi also followed suit, saying: "Master Yun came to the capital, and even Master Guo followed. You are in charge of the defense of the capital, shouldn't it be time to go back?"

"Okay, what the hell are you doing? Just because Guo Ping is here, no ghosts or monsters dare to come out. I should take this opportunity to be lazy." Hua Manzhu was not worried at all.

"Others are not afraid, but him!" Hua Manxi sighed.Back then, when the news of Yun Weijue and Guo Ping's marriage was announced, the world was in an uproar, and His Majesty was even more annoyed, so he directly sent someone to kill Guo Ping.It is said that it was a blessing in disguise that Guo Ping fell into the moat and pretended to be a turtle's breath.

"Don't worry, Master Yun is here. His Majesty was seriously ill two years ago. Wasn't it the Tianshan snow lotus sent by Master Yun to save his life? It was Master Guo who sent the things back then. He didn't see any blood at the time, but now Master Yun is on the spot." , can you still fight?" Hua Manzhu was also relieved.

"Hey, you don't know my worries. I checked the personal notes of the late emperor and His Majesty, as well as the documents of Prince Zhan Shifu. There is no doubt that Mr. Yun is talented, but his temperament is also extreme. It is rumored that Mr. Yun has a personality Gentleness, gentleness and drizzle are all nonsense. Except for the fact that you are right about love, the others are all persuasive. His Royal Highness and Master Yun have been in contact for so many years, and the friendship between teachers and students is strong. There is a rift between him and His Majesty. If Because His Royal Highness is in dispute again, this is not a conflict between two royal brothers." Hua Manxi was very worried, Yun Weijue has existed as the heir of Yu Kingdom these years, if... Hua Manxi really can't even think about it Dare to think.

"His Royal Highness..." Hua Manzhu sighed, even though His Royal Highness was abolished because of treason, but he hadn't worshiped the heavens and told his ancestors, or there was no Jingyun Weijue to conclude the matter, Hua Manzhu and other courtiers still respectfully called him Your Highness.Now it depends on the brotherhood between Yun Weijue and His Majesty, and the teacher-student friendship with the prince, who is more important.

Hua Manzhu and Hua Manxi were waiting in the box. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and a waiter in the shop silently handed over a note, and then retreated.This restaurant is the property of the Hua family, and it is even more of a hidden stake. Since Yun Weijue, the poultry and birds in Beijing have been strictly managed. Except for the official, they no longer dare to use carrier pigeons, hawks and falcons to deliver news, and only rely on manual labor.

Hua Manxi took it over and looked at it, feeling even more worried, and said: "Master Yun didn't go to the palace to see him, he went directly to the prison." Now the crown prince and his children over seven years old are all detained in the prison, and the evidence of treason is conclusive. The prince had also pleaded guilty, and the emperor threw all the prince's lineage except two grandsons under the age of seven into prison in a rage.

Even though his heart is as wide as a flower, he frowned, watching his posture, don't fight.

What can Huamanzhu and Huamanxi do, they can only sit quietly in the box, waiting for the news to come, how many people are like Huamanzhu and Huamanxi today, blowing the cold wind, waiting for the ending, After a while, there was another news that His Royal Highness saw his teacher Yun Weijue hugging his legs and crying bitterly, but he couldn't hear what he said, but Yun Weijue had already left the prison and went to the palace.

Hua Manzhu felt a little relieved, since he could still enter the palace to see His Majesty, he would still be able to speak clearly, so as not to make a big fuss.

In the end, things were not as beautiful as Hua Manzhu imagined. The prince committed suicide just after Yun Weijue left the prison. After the prince died, the rest of the people felt that they had no way out. They were all nobles of the royal family. With expectations, whoever would suffer this grievance would kill himself before going to prison.

Hua Manzhu was still worried because Yun Weijue found out about the news, and then received the news that Yun Weijue did not enter the palace to seek an audience, he went directly to the East Palace, and the East Palace was not included in the Inner Palace. The reason why Yun Weijue came back Everyone knew that the emperor and the ministers had a tacit understanding and naturally they would not stop him, and his status had not been revoked, and he was still the prince. He could easily enter the Heavenly Prison, and naturally he could easily enter the East Palace.

There is also news that Yun Weijue directly took away the two young sons of His Highness the Crown Prince, and ignored the rest.

There is even more news that when His Majesty left the palace, the imperial chariot stopped on the left side of the road. As a result, Yun Wei did not see him. He only sent people to say: "First plant a lover and then kill a disciple. You are already the enemy of life and death. You don't need to see each other again." But he covered his face and passed by, not knowing how His Majesty would react.

Then, Hua Manzhu and Hua Manxi, who were waiting in the box on Chang'an Street, saw the team of riders galloping out of Beijing again, and there were indeed two young children immediately.

Three days later, the crown prince's reputation was restored, and he was buried in the imperial mausoleum as the crown prince. The family members were buried in accordance with the ritual system, and the names of the two young grandsons were not removed from the royal family.Of course, it will take 20 years to see the benefits of the two imperial grandsons not being expelled, and no one knows it now.

Ten days later, the people in Jingzhong got the news that Yun Weizhen did not return to Yuguo, but went out to sea from Tianjin, and he did not know where he went.

In another year, the Ministry of Rites in charge of Hua Manxi received a letter from overseas. A country named "Yuanping" sent envoys from the sea with high boats and strong troops. The letter stated that it would establish diplomatic relations with our dynasty.It is the establishment of diplomatic relations, as a brotherly country, not subjection, as a vassal state.At first, some ministers wanted to chatter and look down on the small overseas countries, but they shut up after asking about it again.This "Yuanping" country is the second sage's dynasty, and one of the emperors is named Yun Weizhen.

In another 32 years, Yun Weijue passed away, and Guo Ping disappeared. It's also justifiable.

Since then, the news of Yun Weijue and Guo Ping no longer appeared in the world, except for those storytellers and a few historical writers, as if this person never existed in the world.
