wife and king

"Hurry up, hurry up!" An Tianren asked impatiently, the dry autumn wind blew, and even the sweat from his eagerness couldn't be blown away.

Eunuch Li hesitated for a while, raised his eyes slightly to look at An Tianren, swallowed a mouthful, as if he had made all-out preparations, before he dared to say a name: "Fu Zhongcheng."

"What, him?" An Tianren was obviously very surprised by the name that Eunuch Li spit out. Unexpectedly, Eunuch Li would recommend Fu Yushi. When he turned aside all the candidates in his mind, Dudu skipped it. After marrying Fu Yushi, because of Fu Yushi's high ability in handling affairs, An Tianren was selfish and did not want Fu Yushi to leave the court. However, when Eunuch Li's analysis was eloquent in the next moment, An Tianren hesitated again.

"Why, why is it him?"

Hearing An Tianren's questioning, Eunuch Li bowed carefully, and replied respectfully: "This Fu Yushi is a distant relative of the queen, and he is also related to the emperor with you. With this relationship, he has to worry about you more or less. You dare not rebel, and if you make him a prince, this queen's family will also be honored, and you are even more loyal to the emperor."

"Not bad, not bad," An Tianren smiled on his face, blushing his pale face, his eyes narrowed into joyful slits, "Continue on."

Eunuch Li grasped An Tianren's mood, nodded and continued: "On the other hand, this Fu Yushi also has a lot of power in the palace. If he leaves the capital, it will prevent him from expanding the palace. The middle forces, together with foreign relatives to usurp power. And the emperor, you promise him a lot of money, he will be grateful and loyal to you."

"Well said, well said!" An Tianren praised one after another, clapping his palms happily, even the floor was stomped loudly by him.

Eunuch Li could hardly hold back his smile, he straightened his back boldly, and continued, "Fu Zhongcheng is calm and resourceful. If he goes to Fangcheng, he will surely deter King Yan's army, and because he is a civil servant, although He can suppress King Yan's army in terms of momentum, but he doesn't have the ability to command the whole army, so you don't have to worry about him leading the troops to capture the capital. In addition, he has a lot of connections in the court. If you can make him king, you will be able to win over your colleagues He's a good friend."

Eunuch Li's words, he only picked up the pleasant words, exaggerated them, coaxed An Tianren into elation, touched his chin and nodded, and immediately called people to write a book, canonize Fu Yushi as a virtuous king, and go to Fangcheng to take office tomorrow ——I couldn’t wait for even a moment.

Eunuch Li nodded and smiled, and when he heard An Tianren call someone to make a book, he bowed and retreated, and went back to his room. He wrote a letter, and ordered a close friend to send it to Yan Cangling in the far south.

Three days later, when the book was made and promulgated to the world, all the officials were shocked, some were overjoyed, some were worried, and some looked on indifferently. Among them, Wang Enyi had the strangest expression on his face.

Regarding the matter of making Fu Yushi the prince, Wang Enyi, as the person next to the emperor and the actual controller of the court, had no knowledge of this matter, and the next book had to be produced by Shangshu Sheng and Zhongshu Sheng After the examination and review, the edict can be issued, but no one informed him of this time-consuming process.

What does this mean? It means that someone in the court is hiding it from him. No, to be more precise, there are forces in the court that he cannot control.

He paused, and the cold light in his eyes instantly fell on the person sitting on the dragon chair, but he saw that the person seemed to feel his frightening sight, he trembled a few times, and his hips almost fell out of the dragon chair Outside, he deliberately coughed a few times, moved his buttocks inwardly, straightened his posture, and then turned his face back to a serious one.

Wang Enyi averted his eyes lightly, and contemptuously frowned at the corner of his mouth. How could such a weak and incompetent person have power?Really ridiculous.

Unexpectedly, when Wang Enyi lowered his head, An Tianren's eyes showed a trace of ruthless resentment.

When the book was issued, Fu Yushi showed no expression on his face. He knelt down and kowtowed to thank him indifferently, and took it with both hands devoutly. The simple ceremony of receiving the title was completed.

An Tianren couldn't wait any longer, so he waved his hand and called Fu Yushi to go back to his house to pack up and go on the road today. When the words came out, no one was full of doubts, but no one dared to say a word, and swallowed silently. Confuse.

At that time, Fu Yushi was about to retire after accepting the gift, but Wang Enyi suddenly stood up and sent a look at An Tianren with a coquettish smile. A vicious male concubine, but she doesn't know that the emperor knows about it."

When he was entrusted with the title, he suddenly said the irrelevant words, and all the officials looked at him suspiciously, but An Tianren was only surprised for a moment, and then his face sank. About the concubine, only Eunuch Li mentioned it to him last night, so how did Wang Enyi know about it? Could it be that Eunuch Li is his confidant?But when he thought about it carefully, he didn't quite like him. He knew what Eunuch Li was like, and he trusted him with full authority.If it wasn't for Eunuch Li's words, it meant that someone was eavesdropping on the place where they talked last night.

Thinking about this, An Tianren shuddered a few times, took a few breaths, and forcibly subdued the killing intent in his heart.

The two people who are hypocritical on the surface and secretly flirt with each other do not know that they have already cut each other to death in their hearts.

Just as the lightning and flint were rubbing against each other, An Tianren interrupted the turbulent tide between the two: "Ah, Eunuch Li told me about this last night, why, what's wrong with it?"

"Your Majesty, I have the courage to hear that about two months ago, King Wu Qikang of Xiping fled in fear of crime, and a month later, his son Wu Xiao led the rebellion, but when the Xiping army was about to attack the imperial city, King Yan's army broke out. The Xiping army was sent back to Nanxiang, but Wu Xiao himself disappeared. Is this true?"

As soon as the words came out, all the officials took a deep breath, because the person who reported the matter went deep into the palace last night, and the officials were not present, and now it is Wang Enyi, not An Tian, ​​who heard the news When Ren said this, he suddenly realized that Wang Enyi was the real master in this palace—seeing all the officials admiring and flattering Wang Enyi, An Tianren was so angry that his teeth itch, but he had to show a shocked look on his face, trembling. He said in a low voice: "Really...really, when I heard about it, I was terribly frightened, ah, Wang Aiqing, you mentioned this because..."

"Your Majesty, according to the laws of our Huan Dynasty, those who have military power, unless the emperor issued an edict, and those who combined the half of the tiger talisman with the half of the tiger in the emperor's hand are all sending troops privately, which is a serious crime. Don't you think so? Are you to blame?"

"Strange, why not!" An Tianren stood up abruptly, flicked his sleeves angrily, and snorted, "If you dare to send troops in private, you must have a conspiracy in your heart! I... I'm going to kill him!"

"Your Majesty," Wang Enyi stopped, "I have the guts to say that King Yan mobilizes troops privately, but from a moral point of view, he is protecting the people of Fangcheng. If the Emperor kills him, the people will definitely criticize him."

The teeth in An Tianren's mouth were all ground to pieces. Wang Enyi said that he knew all about the pros and cons, and he said that he beheaded King Yan. , he wouldn't do this, but who knows, Wang Enyi said all these words, so that he is now a human being inside and outside.

"Yeah," An Tianren nodded, pretending to be confused, "You mean I can't be killed, but I have to stay? Then what does this have to do with being named a virtuous king?"

Wang Enyi was choked up, but his expression remained unchanged, and he smiled calmly: "If you violate the law, you should be punished according to reason, but you should be rewarded for protecting the people. However, I also heard that King Yan married a concubine in private and never reported it to the emperor. You, don’t you put your majesty in your eyes? It’s hard to tell whether this person is loyal or treacherous to you, so in summary, I suggest that King Yan bring his concubine to Beijing, and the majesty You personally test whether this person is loyal or traitorous."

After hearing his long analysis, An Tianren gradually opened his mind. He was a bit shaken by what he said, and looked at all the officials with slanted eyes. Seeing that no one objected, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Fu Yushi: "Go and invite King Yan to the capital!"

As soon as this remark came out, all the officials were shocked. The princes were equal in status, and the two had nothing to do with each other. Wouldn't it be out of courtesy to ask Fu Yushi to invite King Yan himself?Compared with the astonishment of all the officials, Wang Enyi only had a brief look of strangeness, and then raised a strange smile.Just now when Fu Yushi hadn't left, he made this statement just to test An Tianren, to see if he would think of using Fu Yushi to invite Yan Cangling, if he didn't think of it, it means that An Tianren is mediocre , but if he could pierce the complex relationship among them and think of something that even the officials could not think of, then An Tianren would not be as incompetent as imagined.

It turned out that Fu Yushi was asked to invite Yan Cangling. Firstly, he could test whether Fu Yushi was loyal to the emperor. After he left Beijing, he would rely on the high mountains and the emperor's distance to collude with King Yan. Second, he could let Fu Yushi Familiar with Yan Cangling's way of doing things, so that Fu Yushi can control Yan Wangjun so that he can control it.

An Tianren didn't know that he had been suspected by Wang Enyi, he was still complacent about his plan, touched his chin, and said: "The journey is long, and Fu Zhongcheng is a civil servant, so I will send someone to protect him later. You go to Nanxiang."

Fu Yushi didn't say much, his face was tense, he stepped forward to thank him, and then returned to his original position. From the beginning to the end, he didn't say a word, and he didn't show any embarrassment.

Wang Enyi also agreed with this move, nodding his head and smiling, he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty is wise." His subordinates also joined in the fun and called out, even though they knew that this move was not in line with etiquette, no one dared to raise objections. Silent.Ever since this matter was settled, An Tianren appointed a trusted person as the Southern Prime Minister's envoy, and ordered him to escort the virtuous king to the Southern Prime Minister.

With a smile on his lips, Wang Enyi quietly glanced at the newly appointed Jiedu envoy, and nodded knowingly one after another. Unexpectedly, this scene completely fell into An Tianren's eyes.

An Tianren uttered a soft sneer in his throat, and immediately suppressed the strange look on his face, covering his face with a layer of weakness.

Under the escort of the Jiedu envoy and others, Fu Yushi returned to the mansion first, secretly sent a letter to Yan Cangling, and then set off for Nanxiang when he was ready.

At the same time, Yan Cangling was still hugging his concubine in the mansion, but he didn't know that the wind and rain were coming, and the first place the strong wind blew was the Pinfang Pavilion.

A few days later, in the middle of the night, the guests had already turned off the lights and rested, and Qingbo greeted them. The last guest, carrying the hem of his clothes, was walking wearily to his boudoir, but the moment he opened the door, he saw several unexpected people. people……

The author has something to say:

Ceshu: Uh... In a way, it is one of the types of imperial edicts, which are exclusively used for conferring kings and empresses.

Tiger Talisman: The keepsake for dispatching troops, in fact, according to the background of the Tang Dynasty, it should be a fish charm or a turtle charm. The tiger charm is only used for the convenience of reading.In ancient times, as long as there was a tiger talisman, troops could be transferred casually. In fact, the tiger talisman was divided into two parts, one half was in the hands of the general, and the other half was in the hands of the emperor. soldier.Of course - if you can make your soldiers fully obey your orders and not be afraid of death, you can dispatch troops with only half a tiger talisman.
