Stirring up with the old enemy

At Maoshi on the second day, in the Golden Palace, hundreds of officials filed into the discussion.

Emperor Yong'an Qin Su sent someone to stop Chen Jingming and told him to wait outside the east corner gate.The sun gradually rose, and the scorching summer sun shone on the crimson official robe that Chen Jingming had sewed overnight.

Like a salted fish that has been left to dry in the scorching sun.

"The case of Luyang Fan's family is closed here." Da Sikong Cheng Huaijing sat sideways on the left side of the emperor, frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "Of course, Chen Jingming from Yushitai's investigation is not effective, and he should be punished."

The real powerful families in Chang'an City had already received the news overnight, but they all raised their eyebrows in unison, pretending to be surprised.

Cheng Huaijing stared at these officials with different thoughts, sneered silently in his heart, but could not hear the slightest wave in his words. "Lu Yang Fan's family was sued on Jiangnan Road. Jiangnan is a long way from Chang'an. Besides, this case has been handled by the assistant director of Yushitai and organized by Dali Temple. This time the case is closed, let Dali Temple handle it! "

Lan Mei, the Minister of Dali Temple, and Pei Yuan, the Shaoqing, came out at the same time, and respectfully responded.

Cheng Huaijing rubbed her forehead, seemingly exhausted.Emperor Yong'an Qin Su immediately leaned closer, and the Twelve Crowned Jade Arms rang softly, lowered his voice and asked Cheng Huaijing something, Cheng Huaijing shook his head.

Looking up again, Cheng Huaijing looked tired. "Now, I will remove Chen Jingming from the position of supervisory censor at the censor station, and restore his body in white clothes. Before sunset today, he must leave Chang'an City."

Some of the ministers were really surprised that people were pushed out in such a hurry.

Pei Yuan raised his face, ignored Lu Ji's frenzied gaze on the right behind him, and asked calmly, "So, are you forbidden to enter Chang'an again for life?"

Cheng Huaijing stared at him, her red and thin lips parted, a half-smile. "What does Pei Shaoqing mean?"

"Although Chen Yushi has been deprived of his official position and is a commoner, he still has a marriage contract with Lord Pingle." Pei Yuan cupped his hands calmly, his tone indifferent. "I wonder if Da Sikong has any arrangements for this?"

Cheng Huaijing turned his head to look at Emperor Yongan Qin Su.

Emperor Yong'an Qin Su knew that it was his turn to speak!He coughed twice, raised his bushy eyebrows, and said displeasedly: "One size belongs to one size. Now we are talking about official affairs."

There is no mention of canceling the engagement with Pinglehou Haochun.

Pei Yuan's eyes moved slightly, his lips parted, and he added another sentence tentatively. "Since Yingtian established the dynasty, officials and concubines are not allowed to intermarry. Your Majesty, this question I asked is also an official matter."

Emperor Yong'an Qin Su waved his sleeves impatiently, his black hair fluttering lightly. "Let's discuss this matter later. Where is Lu Fengchang in Taichang Temple? How long has it been and is he still sick?"

Lu Fengchang is the uncle of Lu Ji's family. When Lu Feng is not around, everyone else will turn their attention to Lu Ji.Lu Ji bowed to go out, and replied slightly sadly: "Your Majesty, the family uncle has had a bitter summer since he was a child, and now he has an old illness, and he cannot get up from the lingering sick bed. He is indeed still sick!"

Emperor Yong'an Qin Su sneered, and his sharp eagle eyes seemed to be far away in the blue sky, separated by the twelve crowns of jade. "Pei Yuan?"

Pei Yuan raised his head.

When Emperor Yong'an Qin Su spoke again, every word was cold and hard. "You can't tolerate Chen Jingming like this?"

Pei Yuan was terrified, and knelt down on the knees. "Your Majesty, I dare not."

"Or, are you implying that the marriage I bestowed is inappropriate?" Emperor Yong'an Qin Su leaned forward from the wide-sided dragon chair, his gaze extremely oppressive. "Officials and concubines don't marry, who made the rules?"

Pei Yuan didn't dare to raise his head, and said with trembling voice: "Yes, this is the rule since Yingtian established the country."

"Oh?" Emperor Yong'an Qin Su let out a deep laugh, the laughter vibrated from the black emperor's royal clothes, as if casted by a spell, it lingered in the golden palace for a long time.

All the ministers were terrified.

Emperor Yong'an, Qin Su, had fiefdoms in the south of the Yangtze River before he ascended the throne. He set off to conquer Beidi at the age of 11. His temperament was bloodthirsty, and he was nicknamed Rentu.In order to win the dragon chair, he charged Fangtian with a painted halberd in the Qinling Mountains and killed tens of 10 people.There is a saying among the various families that Emperor Yong'an's birth mother, Empress Xian, was originally a barbarian, and the blood of barbarians flowed on Emperor Yong'an.

Ten years after he ascended the throne, Emperor Yong'an was busy setting up granaries in prefectures and counties. From the tenth year to the 15th year of Yong'an, he personally repaired Hanmei Pond and Yuqiong Building for Cheng Da Sikong.Counting it, Emperor Yong'an hadn't massacred for more than ten years.

But the goshawk is a goshawk after all, not to mention he is a man of affection.

Emperor Yong'an received the emperor's art since he was a child, and he laughed angrily, which is also a customary thing in the emperor's family.

All the officials were so frightened that they knelt down one by one, holding their breath, not daring to breathe.I was only afraid that if I farted more, Emperor Yong'an would arouse the interest of killing people, and it was out of control from then on.

Emperor Yong'an Qin Su got up amidst the trepidation of the officials, walked down the steps slowly, and stood in front of the officials, his black pendulum fluttering rustlingly.

"I'll ask again, who made this rule?"

Pei Yuan knelt at the front with a pale face, and only a corner of the emperor's robe could be seen in his eyes.He bent his heart, lowered his head and kowtowed, and said in a stern voice: "Return to Your Majesty, since the founding of our country, there have been such laws."

"Is there such a decree?" Emperor Yong'an Qin Su turned his head to look at Da Sikong Cheng Huaijing.

Cheng Huaijing shook her head with her thin red lips slightly curved.

Emperor Yong'an Qin Su turned his head back generously, clasped his hands behind his back, and said heavily: "Da Sikong said no!"

"This, this is written in Article 180 of the Yingtian Code."

Out of the corner of Pei Yuan's eyes, he had actually caught a glimpse of Lu Ji throwing winks at him desperately, but he had already angered the emperor, so he must not be kind this time, so why not just say what he wanted to say in one breath.He kowtowed again, gritted his teeth word by word, and said, "If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can order someone to check the Yingtian Law Code on the spot!"

He skipped over Cheng Huaijing.

Cheng Huaijing also stood up slowly, curling her lips into a cool smile. "All the classics of Yingtian are now in my possession. If I say no, I just don't."

Pei Yuan's face was pale, and he stared straight at Cheng Huaijing with his neck straight.From the steps down to the throne, there are actually more than ten feet apart, and there are differences between high and low.To Cheng Huaijing, it was meaningless for him to look up at Cheng Huaijing who was on the left side of the throne.

Weak, like an ant.

Cheng Huaijing walked down the steps slowly, and stood side by side with Emperor Yong'an Qin Su, turned his head, and smiled at Emperor Yong'an. "Your Majesty, should we stop here today?"

Emperor Yong'an Qin Su used to lose his mind whenever he saw him smile, and immediately responded: "Qing...cough cough, what Cheng Qing said is very true!"

Emperor Yong'an looked around, all the officials were full of honor and glory, they knelt down and dared not look at him.He was a little impatient, and said in a deep voice: "I'm tired, if there is anyone else who wants to report, please turn around and pass the booklet to Yushitai."

Su Huan, the doctor of Yushitai, responded loudly.

Su Huan asked Cheng Huaijing to pick him up when he was at his lowest point in life, and Cheng Huaijing has always followed Cheng Huaijing's lead in everything.The so-called handing over the papers to Yushitai and then submitting them to Yulan is just a process.All the officials in the court knew that whether they went to Yushi Lantai Temple or reported to Yulan, the requisitions would be handed over to Da Sikong Cheng Huaijing first.After seeing it, Da Sikong still has a few instincts left to show to Emperor Yong'an, so it is unknown.

The only chance to face-to-face is the court meeting.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please stay!" Although Dali Temple Minister Lan Mei was used to not dealing with Shaoqing Pei Yuan, but now that Pei Yuan offended the emperor, he had to ask a few more questions about how to deal with it later. "Although Pei Shaoqing's words today were reckless, but..."

"Reckless?" Emperor Yong'an Qin Su cut it off in one breath, and turned around with a sneer. "I think he is questioning me!"

"I...don't dare." Pei Yuan's face was as white as snowflakes, trembling his frail shoulders, he said in a trembling voice: "The minister will make a mistake, and I would like to resign from the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple and return home in white clothes."

The Pei clan was not originally a big clan in Chang'an, and a branch migrated from Shanxi Jinzhong to the capital decades ago, but the Chang'an clan is not very prosperous, and now only Pei Yuan's son has entered the dynasty.Pei Yuan's so-called returning home probably did not refer to resigning from his official position to enjoy flowers and drink in Chang'an City, but to return to Jinzhong.

Cheng Huaijing saw that Pei Yuan was still unwilling to give up at this moment and threatened to return to Jinzhong, and put on a miserable look, but couldn't help but curled his lips and smiled. "I heard that A Yuan from the Pei family once commented on Quan Chang'an's noble daughter?"

Pei Yuan looked at Cheng Huaijing with some doubts.

Cheng Huaijing's red and thin lips curled slightly, she rolled her sleeves and nodded with a smile: "Although I don't know much about it, I also know that the Pei family's Ah Yuan is both talented and beautiful. I once commented that Quan Chang'an is a vulgar person. Fan, there is no one who can be a wife. This time when A Yuan from the Pei family returns to Jinzhong, he may meet a beautiful woman by chance, it is unknown."

"Hahaha!" Cheng Huaijing told a bad joke, and Emperor Yong'an Qin Su took the lead in cheering.He laughed loudly and said, "Not bad! Very kind! If Pei Qing can really achieve a happy marriage, it would be a blessing in disguise."

He actually acquiesced in Pei Yuan's resignation and returned to his hometown.

Lan Mei, the minister of Dali Temple, put her heart back into her stomach, lowered her head calmly, and said nothing more.

Lu Ji moved his lips, but saw a few people in the corner winking at him, so he was silent for a moment, then turned his eyes to Pei Yuan again.Pei Yuan is now the center of attention, and his whole body hurts like needles, but he is arrogant by nature, he only bites his lower lip to death and doesn't beg for mercy.

Emperor Yong'an Qin Su no longer cared about it, grabbed Da Sikong Cheng Huaijing's arm, and the two of them went out together.

**

Although King Qin Dian of Anyang is currently the most popular candidate for succession in the clan, he was unable to go to court, and he didn't know the news until after the dynasty was over.

boom!

Anyang Wang Qin Dian's face was ashen, smashed the teacup in his hand, and sneered in the splash of tea soup. "The one surnamed Chen didn't live long, why is Pei Yuan so restless? Now, for the sake of the dying man, he insisted on throwing his family's future into it!"

"That's because the lord didn't pay attention," an aide next to him approached in a low voice and said in his ear, "My lord, Pei Yuan has thoughts about Pinglehou."

Anyang King Qin Dian frowned, as if he didn't believe it. "Does he like men too?"

"I don't know if I like men." The staff member laughed and lowered his voice. "However, Pei Yuan and Na Ping Lehou have known each other since they were young. I'm afraid they have a deep-rooted love for a long time. Ping Lehou and that surnamed Chen were married by His Majesty, how could Pei Yuan bear it?"

Anyang Wang Qin Dian raised his eyebrows and smiled in surprise: "It really happened?"

The staff backed away half a step, bowed and said: "Pei Yuan is infatuated with Pinglehou. It is an unspeakable secret in the Chang'an family. His subordinates have also inquired about it in every possible way. They must not be wrong. Now that Pei Yuan is deposed, according to the prince Look, what's the next step?"

King Anyang squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then asked: "What about Lu?"

The staff member raised his head and smiled strangely. "Lu Ji was originally a famous scholar. After Cong Pinglehou was ordered to go on an expedition to the Western Regions, he inexplicably abandoned his pen and joined the army. My lord, who do you think he is for?"

Anyang Wang Qin Dian nodded with a look of sudden realization. "Oh, I dare to say that he also fell in love with Ping Lehou!"

The staff member opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

Anyang Wang Qin Dian had already picked it up by himself, frowning with indescribable hatred in his eyes. "This Ping Lehou is young because he looks like a woman. What did he paint on his face? After going to the Western Regions for a few years, he was exposed to the wind and the sun, and the king has never turned black when he saw him! His lips are red and his teeth are white. Relying solely on appearance to confuse people! Now that you have harmed Pei Yuan, why do you want to harm Lu Ji? It is really a beauty, a beauty!"

The staff looked at Anyang King Qin Dian's fine white pockmarked face, and the red inverted triangle eyes from jealousy, thought for a while, and then simply shut up.

"Shameless! It's extremely shameless!" King Anyang Qin Dian slapped the case heavily, and said angrily: "Look carefully, don't tell Lu Ji to be abducted by Pinglehou!"

The aides bowed and saluted with kindness. "Yes, my lord!"

**

Pingle Hou Mansion, Hao Chun has been pacing in the flower hall of his Hou Mansion restlessly since the beginning of the morning.He is used to wearing bright clothes, a Xia shirt that looks like a burning cloud, duck egg blue fat tube sarong trousers, bound feet, and a pair of black leather pointed boots under his feet.The forehead is wiped with a hollow black gauze, and the wind is vigorous when walking.

Old Wang's servant looked dizzy from the side. "I said Lord Hou, why don't you send someone to wait at the gate of the palace?"

"Master, I don't want to!" Hao Chun frowned with thick eyebrows, and said strangely: "Your Majesty doesn't allow me to go to court, so what's the matter with me sending someone to wait outside the palace gate?"

"But ma'am..."

"Master, I'm not worried about him!" Hao Chun paused, probably because he also felt that this sentence was not convincing, and then changed his words: "He knelt for half the night last night, and he didn't see His Majesty softening his heart. You may not be able to go to the imperial court. If I send someone to the young master, he will be suspicious, and I will definitely think that it is the young master, and I will go to see his jokes. No way! Don’t go!"

Old Wang's housekeeper held back his belly laugh, and said slowly in a hoarse voice: "Then, if Hou Ye continues to walk like this, all the green bricks in our flower hall will be crushed by Hou Ye."

Hao Chun lowered his head and took a serious look at the green brick floor under his feet.

Old Wang's servant hurriedly lowered his head and coughed.

"Come on, sir, I can't let my anger out here." Hao Chun said to himself: "Send someone to send a message to the Xijiao barracks to invite Li Conggui, and I want to make some moves with him, and I will make an appointment at the Xijiao barracks." .”

"Hey, this can't be done!" Wang Lao's servant was in a hurry, and with a pale face, he hurriedly persuaded the master who wanted to come out. "Master Hou, you are no different than before. You are a person who has gone to war. There are many disputes in the Western Suburb Barracks. It is better for you to go less."

Li Conggui is now running between Pinglehou Mansion and King Anyang, he is considered half a helper, but the Western Suburb Barracks is a place with heavy troops, the meaning of the old servant Wang is that he is afraid that Emperor Yong'an will suspect him.

Hao Chun felt more and more weak all over his body, he grinned for a while, and stomped his feet heavily. "Forget it, young master, I'll go to the martial arts training ground and play with guns for a while. If that Chen comes back, remember to ask him to find me in the back."

Hao Chun spun his feet out of the flower hall in a gust of wind, and went straight to the training ground to vent the fire.

Wang Lao's house attendant folded his hands, looked at the back of Hao Chun, who was dressed in a summer shirt, and shook his head softly for a long while. "Who's surnamed Chen? That's Madam! Our Madam of Pinglehou Mansion!"

The author has something to say:

Anyang King Qin Dian (thumping his chest and stamping his feet): Beauty is a disaster, beauty is disaster!
