The queen mother is

When Wei Fengguo left Shou'an Hall, it was raining lightly outside.It takes a long way to go back to the surveillance hall from Shou'an Hall: cross Yonghuai Bridge, go along Baoyun River to the south, pass Fengxian Hall and Sansuo, then cross Zhuojin Bridge, and detour from West Sixth Palace to Jin Corridor, and finally return to the Supervisor's Hall.

Although it is only July, the people in the office are already preparing the fireworks and firecrackers needed on the fifteenth day of next month.This was the first festive day in the palace after the new emperor ascended the throne, so naturally it had to be done properly.

However, it seems inappropriate to pile up so many fireworks and salutes near Sansuo and Fengxian Hall.Although the rainy season is not over yet, this year's rainy season is earlier than in previous years. If it ends earlier, it will mean that the sky is dry and things are dry, so we must be careful with candles.

However, Wei Fengguo didn't have time to take care of these things at the moment, and someone from the office before the early court suddenly sent someone to say that the queen mother's master liked Feng Ruhai, so one of the 15 chief eunuchs had to be selected for the job of guarding the emperor's mausoleum.The people in the office were cunning, so they naturally pushed all the thankless tasks of dispatching manpower to their supervisor.

If not, Wei Fengguo would not have watched his beloved being bullied in the early court.

At this moment, King Ning sent a housekeeper to invite him in person, and he was afraid that the matter would not be delayed for a moment.

What's more, in the Shou'an Palace just now, aside from others, Wei Fengguo was sitting in front of the couch, looking at Wen Yining who was sleeping peacefully on the couch, his long eyelashes were moving slightly, although he didn't open his eyes, but he was The person on his heart--

He was really sleeping and pretending to be sleeping, how could he be so careless that he couldn't see it.

Everyone has secrets, and Wei Fengguo knows how to respect and be sensible.If you push too fast, I'm afraid it will backfire.

So Wei Fengguo left, first went back to the supervisor's hall, changed his half-wet clothes, put on his middle clothes, put down his three-mountain cap, put on his new crown clothes, tied his hair in a bun, and then rode out of the palace and headed north to the capital. Hurry to the house.

Eunuchs have no heirs, so naturally they always think about their own affairs while they are alive.The fifteen chief eunuchs in the palace, big or small, all have a private house in Beijing, and even if they don't have one, they will buy real estate in their hometown, so that they can have a place to live when they get old in the future.

Wei Fengguo is no exception, but his private residence is the most famous in Beijing.Magnificent, even comparable to Prince Ning's Mansion.

It should be known that Prince Ning's Mansion has been established since the time of Tai-zu, after the three dynasties of Tai-zu, Gaozong, Empress Dowager Qu and several generations of the Ling family's royal family, it can be regarded as the most exquisite mansion in Beijing.

However, the people in central Beijing also understand that the unsigned and plaque-free courtyard next to the Beifu is just as good as the Wangfu.

Officials worship the palace supervisors and attendants, and assist in the affairs of the office. They have the power to control the three powers and eighteen seals, not to mention the selection of officials by imperial examinations, the distribution of money and grain from the six ministries, and all kinds of government affairs.

Although the highest official position in the court is equivalent to a regular fourth-rank official, but under the ancestral system of "the yellow family does not have noble power", to get Wei Fengguo's current status is already considered to be above ten thousand people.

Wei Fengguo's self-proclaimed "Thousand Years" is of course well deserved.

Therefore, even at this hour, the people crowded at the door and waiting to see "Master Chitose" are still in the dark.

Seeing so many people from a distance, Wei Fengguo turned his horse's head habitually, came to the back door from the back street, and then returned to the house.He jumped off the horse and threw the whip to the groom who came to meet him.

"Mo Keyong is back? Ning Yong has been waiting in the hall for a long time."

Wei Fengguo turned his head and saw the one-eyed old man who came to greet him. He frowned slightly when he heard the old man addressing him and the language he used. Then he took the sweat towel from the old man's hand and wiped his face, " Order it down, I will deal with it here."

The old man nodded and led everyone to retreat.

After passing through the lotus pond and the artificial mountain bamboo forest in the backyard, Wei Fengguo finally came to the corridor where guests are entertained. Among the cycads from Zhougong, two of them even bloomed, and the pruning of the flowers and leaves complements each other, which is very valuable.

"The cycads here, Eunuch Wei, look better than the ones in the palace. It seems that those people outside call you 'Master Qiantui', which is justified."

"My lord praises it, if my lord likes it a thousand years ago, how about I send them to my lord?"

King Ning shook his head with a smile all over his face, "How dare this king take your belongings from Eunuch Wei, I'm afraid—if one day my eunuch and this king get angry and treat me like my royal brother, Even if this king has experienced all kinds of poisons, he is not enough to die."

"My lord brings up old things..."

Wei Fengguo also laughed, but avoided talking about King Ning's blaming him for the emperor's death.He just walked over and poured a cup of tea for King Ning, and respectfully knelt down in front of King Ning, holding the cup of hot tea over his head with both hands.

"My lord brings up the past, I'm afraid it's because I have a grudge against my subordinates in my heart. Everything under my subordinates should be bestowed by the lord. If the lord has something to say, you might as well speak up."

Looking at the cup of tea, King Ning kept the smile on the corner of his mouth motionless, reached out to take the tea bowl, but seemed to be unable to hold it firmly, the whole cup of steaming tea just fell down like that, covered his head and face, and sprinkled Wei Feng. country.

King Ning smiled, but Wei Fengguo did not move.

The hot tea was splashed on the clothes that Wei Fengguo had just changed before he left the palace, a trace of steam rose up, white smoke rose up, stayed in the space for a moment, and then disappeared.

After a long time, King Ning sighed lightly and said, "Forget it, Eunuch Wei, get up, just now, I'm sorry, this king slipped his hand. It's a pity that this king is destined not to have the good Longjing tea in your eunuch's house. It's a blessing."

Wei Fengguo nodded, regardless of the embarrassment all over his body, but he couldn't get up, and continued to kneel and said:

"The lord blamed his subordinates for not being able to persuade Shen Jun, which made the lord ashamed in the palace. The subordinates will die, and hope the lord will come down."

"Shen Jun is weird," King Ning came over to help Wei Fengguo up, "I don't blame you, it's just Eunuch Wei, you and this king's nemesis, Wen Yining, are you getting close to each other?"

Wei Fengguo raised his eyebrows and looked at King Ning.

"Pavilion Master Sun told this king this morning that he saw you and Shen Jun coming out of Heshan Pavilion at the same time. Before that, he saw Wen Yining in Heshan Pavilion. After the early court, Pavilion Master Sun and I watched you embrace the Queen Mother from the main entrance of Xuanzheng Yuan. Let’s go—this king is right, right?”

"Yes, what the prince said is true."

"The subordinates love men, and the queen mother is a leader. I also hope that the prince will understand that he has selfish intentions."

King Ning was taken aback, but looked at Wei Fengguo for a while and couldn't say another word. He didn't expect Wei Fengguo to admit it so easily, it was too calm, but told him to take him immediately and there was nothing he could do.

After a long silence, King Ning said again, "You... and Pavilion Master Sun are both my right-hand men. You have been with this king for ten years, and this king is naturally willing to choose to trust you. On the side of Pavilion Master Sun, I hope you don't do this. Do you know if you hurt your peace and have conflicts?"

"After all, Pavilion Master Sun can be considered a respectable figure in Jianghu."

"Naturally," Wei Fengguo clasped his fists together, "Pavilion Master Sun is just eager to protect the Master, and his subordinates understand that they will not argue with him. Besides, the subordinates see Pavilion Master Sun as a fellow man, and they will solve this problem with Pavilion Master Sun tomorrow. Misunderstand."

misunderstanding.

After hearing Wei Fengguo say these two words, King Ning nodded, and Ling Lie's eyes eased.After all, Wei Fengguo has been with him for ten years, but Sun Aoke——but he still doesn't understand that with him, King Ning, some things can be done, and some things can't be done.

Doing something he shouldn't do will only make him want to kill and abandon his pawn to save the car.

At night, King Ning left Wei Fengguo's private house. When Wei Fengguo was left alone, his little apprentice immediately jumped out from the hall next to him and handed Wei Fengguo a piece of paper. sweat towel:

"Master, isn't it a bit of a loss for you to do so?"

"Ok?"

"I think that Wen Yining doesn't need your protection at all. He has no fewer things hidden than you. If you protect him like this, sooner or later you will get into trouble and die unexpectedly."

Wei Fengguo smiled and wiped the water stains on his face:

"King Ning has nothing to fear. I'm afraid that Sun Aoke is obstructing and sowing dissension. He wants to pour his power into the capital and become King Ning's only support, so that in the future he can bully King Ning and gain the greatest benefit. "

The little apprentice nodded, shook his head again, and looked at Wei Fengguo:

"But master, why do I think King Ning doesn't like that old fox too much?"

"Sun Aoke is proud and arrogant. His Yintian Pavilion is the number one sect in the Jianghu. Old Man Mo Yin's set of wide-sleeved Liuyun sword and Qingshan Guanxue are famous all over the world. He is the first disciple of Old Man Mo Yin, and he is also in charge Yintian Pavilion has become the de facto leader of martial arts in recent years. He has all the rivers and lakes under his control, so he will naturally set his sights on the capital."

"What's so good about the capital?" The little apprentice snorted, "The capital is full of intrigues all day long, and people can die if they say the wrong thing. It's not as good as our modern times—no, my hometown is happy!"

When Wei Fengguo heard the words, he just shook his head and smiled helplessly.

"But master, you still haven't answered me, why does King Ning resent him?"

"One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, so how can there be two masters in the world?" Wei Fengguo smiled, crossed his legs, leaned over and lit the cigarette in his hand, watching the sunset outside, another sunset and moonrise.

Sun Aoke is arrogant, but he has always forgotten that what King Ning is seeking is the world and the throne, how could a person who calls himself the "Son of Heaven" allow others to threaten him.

Even above his power.

"I said master, good birds choose trees to live in. Why do you always follow King Ning? King Ning is ruthless in seeking to usurp the throne. His own brother can be poisoned to death, and he doesn't like Sun Aoke very much. I'm afraid he will deal with him in the future." Come on. Aren't you making trouble for yourself?"

"This capital city is not small, but it is not big. What do you think the capital can do besides follow King Ning? In this world, only King Ning is the Queen Mother. Do you want your master to follow the Queen Mother?"

"Why not? It happens that you love him so much, master."

Wei Fengguo shook his head and extinguished the little cigarette left in his hand.

"King Ning's plan to usurp the throne is the first to bear the brunt of it. Although it is dangerous, it is planned by his party members, but it only has one power. As long as King Ning is here, other people's attention will be on King Ning, so how can we control us?"

"If it's by the Queen Mother's side, King Ning's party members will make things difficult for him in every possible way, and how many pairs of eyes are staring at the male Queen Mother. If you want to protect him, it is naturally better to choose King Ning's side."

Hearing this, the little apprentice stared at Wei Fengguo, "Master, you really are an old fox!"

Wei Fengguo shook his head, stretched out his hand and grabbed the child's bun-faced face, and only let go after provoking dissatisfaction on the child's face.I saw him sweep away the teasing and playfulness between his brows, straightened his face, squinted his eyes and stared at the dark night and moon outside:

"Sun Aoke is the fox, but your master is not. The fox always wants to deal with the hunter, but the wolf, no."

The child looked up and watched Wei Fengguo get up. The tall figure stood under the shadow of the moon, really like a wolf howling at the moon.The child was only in a daze, and then he heard Wei Fengguo's voice and continued:

"It's better to attack first than to wait for death. Since Pavilion Master Sun wants to deal with me, we might as well have a meeting with him first!"
