Reincarnation of the powerful minister

Su Yan chewed the preserved fruit slowly, the sweet and sour seeped from his lips to his heart.Zhu Helin lowered his head and poked around on the plate, looking for kumquat flavor in the assorted preserved fruits - he didn't like it himself, it was sour, but Su Yan liked it.

Su Yan looked at Zhu Helin, and thought that in another ten or twenty years, even if the passionate young man became a deep and cold emperor, even if he really came to the point where everything is right and nothing is right, he would still be able to understand clearly. I vividly remember the scene in front of me, and the tears that flashed in the eyes of the other party when he knelt in front of the god tablet of the Taimiao and swore "I will never lose each other in my life, and I will never leave my head forever".

Don't ask if it's worth it, just ask if you want it.

No doubt he would.For Zhu Helin, he has a natural trust based on the history of his previous life, as well as a kind of intimacy and love from the heart.

He wants to cut through the waves and turn the tide for this young man, and spend his entire life pushing him to the altar of a generation of Mingjun, so that he can get the honor that should belong to him.

Zhu Helin picked another preserved fruit and handed it over. Su Yan grabbed his finger and moved it away from his mouth, saying, "I want to impeach the Wei family."

Zhu Helin didn't show surprise, but frowned.This expression appeared on his usual carefree face, showing some maturity.However, maturity means that you will face more responsibilities, trade-offs and troubles.

"When?" he asked.

Su Yan replied: "The first court meeting after the Longevity Festival."

Zhu Helin asked again: "How sure are you of success?"

Su Yan smiled, but did not answer.

Zhu Helin frowned even tighter.The preserved fruit on his fingertips fell into his palm, he clenched his fist tightly and said, "I don't think this is a good time."

"Why?" Su Yan asked back.

Zhu Helin was silent for a while, and replied with some embarrassment: "Father...has treated me much worse than before."

In the chat with Fu Bao just now, Su Yan also caught some clues.He held the back of Zhu Helin's hand comfortingly: "I forgot, I told you before, because the emperor knows that young eagles cannot always be kept in the nest."

Zhu Helin shook his head: "It's different, father and son are connected. This time, I can clearly feel that the heart of the emperor is getting farther and farther away from me. It's since... after the Kunning Palace caught fire."

In front of Su Yan's eyes, there was a raging fire that lit up the night sky. There was a pool of blood spreading in the square in front of the palace. The cries of the palace people and the roar of the prince echoed in the fire.

"Once some mistakes are made, can't we turn back and never be forgiven?" Zhu Helin whispered sadly, "I must have disappointed my father to the extreme, so he has hardly set foot in the East Palace in the past month. He no longer called me to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to study government affairs at night, and even when I went to say hello every day, he often excused himself to disappear. Even if we met, he only asked a few questions about schoolwork and disaster relief as a matter of routine."

Su Yan always felt that it was not possible.Emperor Jinglong doted on the prince for 15 years, and tolerated how many times of mischievous mischief and jumping around. How could he break the relationship between father and son because the prince lost his mother's belongings and killed someone in anger.

It’s not that murder is not a serious matter, but in this feudal era and under such cultural traditions, palace servants are just domestic slaves in the eyes of the royal family. No emperor would punish the prince for a palace servant who made a mistake. It's just dissatisfaction with xinxing.Moreover, the prince went to the imperial temple to kneel for more than half a month, copying the blood scriptures to pray for the former queen, no matter how angry the emperor is, the emperor should be relieved.

Su Yan expressed his thoughts.But Zhu Helin said: "Father is not angry with me, he just...feeled in love, and went to another place."

"Second Prince?" Su Yan asked.

Zhu Helin took a deep breath, trying his best to maintain a nonchalant expression, but the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed uncontrollably: "In the past month, Father has been to Yongning Palace ten times, and the intervals have become more and more dense. Yongning Palace. I heard privately from the palace people that the second child's eyebrows and eyes have opened, and he looks more like the father, no matter how he speaks or walks, he is much smarter than ordinary children, saying that he is Ziwei according to his life and born with wisdom."

It's Dixing again, and Huigen again, this routine is really familiar, Su Yan gave a light "huh".He patted Zhu Helin's arm with the other hand: "Don't worry, even if the second prince is born with the appearance of a Maitreya Buddha, I will not change the ancestral system of 'Establishing the first son and the first son, and the first son before the elder'."

Zhu Helin nodded, and said again: "I'm not thinking about whether the second child is a threat to the position of the crown prince, but thinking about the father... I really feel bad."

It's like a child who was born to be favored and suddenly finds that his parents no longer love him.Su Yan can fully understand his worry about gains and losses, but he can't let him be so depressed.

"Since that's the case, just be a filial son who fulfills father's wishes, and love your younger brother even more." Su Yan said coldly, "In the future, if the emperor really has the heart of Yi Chu, you will offer the position of the East Palace with both hands and do it. An idle prince like your fourth uncle."

"——No way!" Zhu Helin suddenly raised his voice, and let out a stern light from his wide-open eyes, "I am a righteous prince! To be a good emperor, and to become a prosperous emperor in the future, this ambition has been established since I knew about human affairs. Next, how can it be possible to just give up and give up! If I give up my position in the Eastern Palace today, what I give up tomorrow may be my life!"

Su Yan smiled: "You see this very clearly." Last year in Dongyuan, when the two frankly agreed to help each other, he thought that Zhu Helin had the foresight to plan ahead, and he did not disappoint him.

Zhu Helin said: "I am different from Uncle Four. He is the second son of the direct line, so he is not qualified to inherit the throne, and he held the military power back then, so it is very easy to change. These years, the father has surrounded him, and he can give him everything except freedom. , that is the kindness of the father.

"And behind the second child is the ambitious Wei family. If the second child is allowed to hunt for a high position, as long as my eldest son lives, it will be a proof that his position is not right. It's no wonder they can tolerate me! In the future, I will be the only one." Only when Zhu Helin succeeds to the throne can the tragedy of fratricide be avoided."

Su Yan asked back: "You know the truth, doesn't the emperor not know?"

Zhu Helin was stunned, and murmured: "You're right... I shouldn't have doubted my father."

"You shouldn't have a small heart for yourself." Su Yan said with a straight face, "Doesn't this mean that I, Su Qinghe, have no eyes and don't know how to choose people?"

A trace of shame flashed across his eyes, Zhu Helin raised his eyebrows and smiled, and regained his former vigor and heroism.His eyes were bright and his tone was firm: "Whether my father loves me or Zhu Hezhao more, I will do my job as a prince of a country, cultivate my moral character, and study government affairs diligently. When it's time to fight, fight bravely and strategically; When it’s time to give in, absolutely never give up an inch!”

"Okay!" Su Yan applauded, "That's exactly what I want to say to the young master. It may not be the most mature time to bring down the Wei family, but it is the most promising one I can work hard to plan." Timing. Maybe I won't succeed once, but as long as I still have my life, I will learn from those Taiwan sages.

"In the former dynasty, the treacherous prime minister was authoritarian and chaotic, and a large number of speech officials fought against each other. They handed over articles of impeachment, and their rhetoric was fierce. They never stopped for 20 years. Although they paid a heavy price, they were either killed or exiled, but the impeachment continued. , Finally, the traitor got what he deserved.

"This is the character that a speech officer should have! Since I wear this Xiezhibuzi's censor robe, I have to bear the corresponding responsibility."

"——Qinghe!" Zhu Helin couldn't help but leaned over to hug him, and the wet candied fruit rolled from his palm to the couch, "Meeting you is the greatest luck in my life. Promise me that you will never leave me Be by my side, always support me, assist me, and share the beautiful country with me."

Su Yan smiled: "Didn't I kneel down on the divine card of the former queen, kowtow, and swear?"

"Say it again! Say it again and again, I want to listen!"

Su Yan was dizzy from being shaken by him: "Alright, let me say——I swear that I will never be in love with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and I will never leave him forever."

"It's not His Royal Highness, it's Zhu Helin."

Su Yan had no choice but to change the title and said it again.

After he finished his oath, Zhu Helin still hugged him tightly, resting his chin on his neck, and murmured: "What to do, what to do..."

"What do you mean?"

"Every time I feel that I like you so much that it's impossible to get any more, but the next time we meet again, there will be more, more. How can a person's heart pretend to be innocent?" I like it so much, won't it break if it goes on like this... Tell me, what should I do, young master?"

Su Yan was moved by this straightforward and almost pure affection, hugged Zhu Helin back, and sighed: "Know your mind and let nature take its course."

Zhu Helin seemed to be about to cry.He said with a restrained vibrato: "If you think you should go, then go, and I will do what I should do."

Su Yan did not stay in the East Palace for lunch.The little chef's elaborate tricks were all in vain, Fu Bao was a little disappointed, but the prince looked calm and ate up the food for two.

"Tomorrow is Longevity Day, have you prepared all the birthday gifts for the emperor?" he asked.

Cheng Sheng replied: "Master, everything was ready a few days ago. The old slave has checked it several times to ensure that it is perfect."

The prince said: "One more thing - I want to make a lamp with my own hands. You go and find the old palace people who once served in Kunning Palace, and ask them to tell me how the queen mother's favorite Qinglian lamp is. made."

Su Yan still left the palace through Donghua Gate and returned home by carriage.

Jing Hong chased him outside the door, and when he saw him, he said: "This subordinate is going to wait for your lord outside the gate of the imperial city."

"What happened?" Su Yan asked as he walked into the house side by side with him.

Jing Hong chased after him: "The secret agent of Fusi in Beizhen sent news that Mr. Zuo, the doctor of the Ministry of punishment, is holding documents and wants to take Wan Xin away."

"Zuo Guangbi?" Su Yan pondered, "When I set up the task force, the Ministry of Criminal Justice said that such a big case, they had to participate in the trial according to the law, and sent the doctor Zuo Guangbi to be the deputy interrogator. I see that Zuo Langzhong I may not be very enthusiastic about the truth of the case. A pair of tricks are always staring at me behind my back, as if trying to find fault. After the public trial, I even walked away in a hurry. Compared with the glamorous Yushi Chuqiu, I fell behind. ——I heard that these two are still friends? It feels a little strange."

"My lord, don't ask if Wan Xin has been taken away?"

Su Yan laughed: "If Wanxin is so easily taken away by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, I will go to Qilang to settle the score and ask him if the Jinyiwei of Beizhen Fusi is useless."

Seeing that the lord has so much trust in Shen Qi, Jing Hong couldn't help chasing him, but she still restrained herself, and replied firmly: "It's all within the lord's expectation. The Fusi of Beizhen detained him to death, saying that Jin Yiwei only According to the emperor's order, let the Ministry of Punishments bring the imperial decree to mention people. Zuo Guangbi couldn't compete, so he left in a rage, and even let Shen Qi, the governor of Beizhen, wait for the impeachment transcript from the Ministry of Punishment Minister Wang. "

"Master Wang Tirui, Shangshu Wang of the Ministry of Punishment...is an upright and strong crane."

Su Yan remembered that in the case of Dongyuan and Ye Donglou, he was designed by Feng Que as a suspect.When Wang Shangshu interrogated him, he did not talk about favors but only verified the evidence, and did not sell anyone's face. He also treated King Yu as a suspect for interrogation, which is called a strict law enforcement.

Such a person is unlikely to be a knife in the hands of the Wei family.Maybe there is another inside story behind it that he doesn't know.

"No matter what, Wanxin must not be handed over to other people. Even if the Queen Mother orders it, I will move out the emperor's previous imperial order to the task force to fight for it."

Su Yan was still a little worried after thinking about it, and said, "I'm going to see Qilang."

Jing Hong chased and stopped him: "It's almost past noon, my lord will eat first, and then my subordinates will escort you there."

Hearing what he said, Su Yanfang felt hungry, and hurriedly called Xiaobei and Xiaojing to the hall to have dinner together.

Seeing that the lord had something on his mind, the two boys didn't dare to play around as usual, they both ate and worked honestly.After the meal, Su Yan went back to the house and changed into a light Yesa, and got on the carriage to Shen's residence.

The journey was quite long, and it was easy to get sleepy after a full meal in the afternoon, so Su Yan dozed off in the rickety carriage.

Jing Hong chased him to take a nap on her lap, thinking that this was to send her beloved to meet another lover, how unwilling and sullen!I can't see that I will miss a major event again, which will affect the official career and even the life of the adult-for a while, I feel that some things in life are both absurd and helpless.

The only thing that made him feel gratified was that Shen Qi's serious injury hadn't recovered, so even if she wanted to get up and do something, Lord Su wouldn't let her.Sitting on the edge of the bed, holding hands and talking.

After the two of them finished talking about business, they wanted to talk about private matters.Jing Hongzhui deliberately didn't avoid it, and hugged a sword and pestle beside the bed, acting as the "clothes hanger" that Shen Qi called.

After all, Mr. Su has a thin skin, and he was too embarrassed to say some outrageous words in front of the two lovers. After sitting for more than half an hour, he was about to get up and leave.

Shen Qi glared at Jing Hong chasing, with a murderous look in her eyes.

Jing Hong recalled that she seemed to have formed an alliance with him a few days ago, and wanted to fight against the imperial power together, so she put on a dead face without any psychological burden, and said to Shen Qi: "In Jianghu, whoever has a hard fist is justified. Do you think Reason with me? Wait until you are no longer lying dead."

Shen Qi has never been a reasonable person, and she doesn't want to reason with him at all.After holding back his anger and watching the two leave, he immediately ordered the steward to buy expensive medicinal materials, such as ginseng, ganoderma and meat for Tai Sui, the more the better, the better.He also asked Gao Shuo to pick out a cheat book on Qi circulation and healing from the vast archives of Jinyiwei and send it to him.

In this way, while nourishing and practicing kung fu, the one-month recuperation period was shortened to half a month, so that he could contribute at the critical moment-of course, this is a later story.

Su Yan did all the preparatory work he felt he could do. When he returned home to his bedroom, he took out the birthday gift to be dedicated to the emperor the next day and looked through it.

In his early years, Emperor Jinglong had an oral order, forbidding his courtiers to buy and spend money and material resources to pay him tribute.If you must celebrate your birthday, then offer some elegant objects such as paintings, copybooks, and music scores.

A few days ago, Su Yan thought about it, and felt that his calligraphy and painting were not good enough, and it was not difficult to make a score——

There are so many classic folk music in later generations, if he chooses a melodious and melodious tune, such as "Moonlight Night on the Spring River" and "Singing Evening on a Fishing Boat", he can hum it by himself.Let the musician turn to Gongshang Jiao Zhengyu to mark it into a score, and then sing it in harmony with a woman, it is elegant and novel, how wonderful.

After working on the case for seven or eight days, it basically took shape, and finally came up with a pipa and dongxiao ensemble version of "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" as a birthday gift for the emperor.

Putting the box containing the scores on the desk, he took out a cylindrical suet jade seal from the drawer, which was the private seal given to him by Emperor Jinglong.

Touching the word "Jibis" on the head of the print, Su Yan strung the Luanlong carving at the end of the print with a strong red string, which could be hung around his neck.

With cultural relics worth hundreds of millions hanging around his neck, Su Yan, who had been a peasant for half his life in his previous life, suddenly had the lofty sentiments of "My God, I am also a rich man".

He looked in the mirror, and saw the suet jade seal hanging down on his chest. He couldn't tell whether the jade was whiter or the skin was whiter. He thought it was quite suitable, so he closed his clothes and went to bed.
