History of Yongwu

Palace of Yongshou

After all the ministers finished their work, they all retreated to the queue. King Jin sat in front, glanced at the crowd, and paused for a moment on Xu Han.

"Today's discussion is over." Qin Yu stood up and bowed to the throne, "Your Majesty..."

"My lord, the next official has something to play"

The voice was Xu Han, Qin Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, and saluted the throne again, then looked at Xu Han with a smile and said, "Prime Minister, please speak."

"Report to Your Majesty" Xu Han saluted, "The Xinyang matter has been investigated by the Prime Minister's Office"

King Jin stood aside without speaking, Nangong Yuliang nodded lightly and said, "What's going on?"

"Sun Bo, the governor of Xinyang County, was originally the order of Yiyang. In the 11th year of Yonghe, the former governor of Xinyang County was transferred to Sanshun County. He was elected by Marquis Wen to be the governor of Xinyang County. After Sun Bo took over the governor, he borrowed Xinyang as the governor The important town where the troops are stationed has asked the imperial court for food and salaries many times, and the military salaries have all been filled into their own pockets. Besides, Sun Bo also contacted the guards of Zhucheng, emptied their salaries, lied about military achievements, etc.

Nangong Yuliang's complexion changed slightly, he looked at Yan Shijun, and seeing him also had a bad complexion.

"Prime Minister, how should Yilu deal with this matter?" Qin Yu asked.

"According to the law, make a decision"

"Zhan Lijue?" Qin Yu smiled, shook his head and said, "Master Xiang, everyone has gone to Zhao country, how can I catch Zhan Lijue?"

Xu Han bowed and did not speak, Wang Qianhe twirled his beard, stepped out and said, "Whoever still has a wife in Beijing at home can arrest his wife in Tingwei's mansion, and then issue a letter to arrest the generals and Sun Bo, and order Zhao Guo to arrest him." People, sent to the capital"

"The Grand Master is wise." Qin Yu nodded, turned around and bowed to the throne, "I will deal with it according to the Grand Master's instructions, please show me your majesty."

"Do as Grand Master Wang says." Nangong Yuliang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Chen Youzuo" Qi Jinyu, the censor doctor, stood up and saluted and said, "Ordnance, armor and soldiers are all verified by the Taiwei Mansion. The governor of Xinyang has been like this since Yonghe 11 years ago. Why hasn't the Taiwei Mansion noticed it?" , and Sun Bo was elected by the Taiwei when he was in charge of the Xinyang military, I think it should be thoroughly investigated!"

After Lin Feng's death, Qi Jinyu was recalled to the imperial court. Needless to say, the relationship between Qi Jinyu and King Jin, as soon as these words came out, everyone in the palace had their own concerns.

"Nonsense, I went to Xinyang to supervise the army and elected Sun Bo, absolutely nothing to do with this matter," Yan Shijun couldn't help saying.

well!Wang Qianhe stroked his beard, looked at Yan Shijun from the corner of his eyes, and shook his head in his heart.Wen Hou's qualifications are still young, if you don't argue with this sentence, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to be seen through.

Xu Han also glanced at Yan Shijun, cupped his hands and said, "I think what Lord Qi said is reasonable, why don't you let the Tingwei Mansion conduct a thorough investigation first, so that you can be innocent."

Xu Han, Wang Qianhe and other veterans and clan members of Emperor Xuan didn't like Yan Shijun, because Yan Shijun always wanted to exclude the veterans, and even had unruly feelings towards Qin Yi, Qin Chen and other sons of the former emperor, which Xu Han didn't like, so he also wanted to put this People are removed from the court to avoid trouble in the future.

"This king also thinks it's time to investigate." Qin Yu nodded slightly, looked at everyone and said, "Let Ting Wei thoroughly investigate the important matter of the soldiers' country, and rectify it as soon as possible if there are omissions."

"The minister seconded the proposal" Wang Qianhe saluted.

All the ministers in the hall fell to their knees in the "Secondary Council".

Nangong Yuliang looked at the ministers who were lying on their knees, squeezed their palms tightly, and then said calmly, "Just follow what the ministers said."

"According to the purpose"

Qin Yu bowed to receive the decree, and all the officials behind him kowtowed to receive the decree.

Jianye, Confidential Mansion

It didn't take long for Du Xuetang to know the news about the capital. Looking at the handwriting on the letter paper, he knew in his heart that Yan Shijun had no possibility of getting rid of it.

Thinking about it now, King Jin had already planned this matter when he transferred Gu Lei back from Dongjun. Gu Lei is a loyal and upright person, and he will never condone because of the relationship between Yan Shijun and the Queen Mother.

"Come on," he called out the door.

"Adult" subordinates enter the door.

Du Xuetang wrote quickly on the paper with a pen in his hand, handed him the letterhead within a moment, and ordered, "Pass the letter to the capital, and give it to Tang Jie."

"Yes" the subordinate took the order and retreated quickly.

Du Xuetang stood by the window, staring at the shade of the green trees, a little lost in thought, the more he understood the vortex, the more he understood how difficult King Jin was to deal with.

This letter of mine can't help Yan Shijun turn defeat into victory. The King of Jin in Beijing is just around the corner. What I have to do is to make this day as late as possible, and try to delay it until Wu Guo raises troops.

Your lord, you are right, I really do not deserve it!When I was young, I was full of anger and unwillingness. Now that I am getting older, I realize that what you said is true.

Wenhou Mansion

The little eunuch hurriedly entered the door holding the bright yellow imperial edict, Yan Shijun put his hands behind his back to him, the little eunuch pursed his lips, took a breath before opening his mouth.

"Warm welcome"

Yan Shijun didn't make a sound. He was fascinated by the picture of the tiger descending the mountain. After a while, he turned around slowly and shifted his gaze to the little eunuch in front of him.

"Submit's order"

"Emperor's Edict: As a Taiwei, Wen Hou failed to fulfill his duties, neglected his duties, and caused a catastrophe in Xinyang. He was responsible for the great trust of me and the Queen Mother. Today, he will be resigned from the position of Taiwei."

"Long Live Your Majesty"

Yan Shijun kowtowed, clasping his fingers firmly on the ground, the little eunuch had retreated for a long time before the butler quietly approached him.

"Lord Hou, he's gone"

"Yeah." Yan Shijun stood up abruptly, squinting his eyes and looking out the door.

West Park

Qin Yi looked at the eunuch who was holding the imperial decree and was subconsciously afraid, but he held back his back steps and knelt down respectfully.

The eunuch who delivered the decree opened the imperial decree expressionlessly, and said loudly with lowered eyelids, "Emperor's Edict: Qin Yi's eldest brother, although he has shortcomings, but I think of the love of the former emperor, and I can't bear to be separated from the flesh and blood. I pardon Qin Yi's innocence." , Fujue"

"My lord, thank Your Majesty for your grace"

Qin Yi lowered his body and pressed against the ground tightly. The eunuch handed over the imperial decree to him and left the place expressionlessly.

Standing up from the ground, Qin Yi looked around at everything in the West Garden. He hadn't lived here for a long time, but he remembered it deeply. He looked down at the imperial decree in his hand, and his heart trembled.

"This time, it's good or bad again!"

Wenhou Mansion

Tang Jie visited quietly under the cover of night. In the study, he looked at Yan Shijun who was sitting opposite him, with a gentle and honest smile. Over the years, from Kong Guopei to Yan Shijun, his smile has deceived many people, so he can't be more familiar with him. familiar.

"Tang Yushi visited late at night, why?" Yan Shijun said in a low voice.Tang Jie's appearance is not good, and he is not conspicuous in court. He doesn't even remember much.

"Things to worry about Lord Hou," Tang Jie said pointedly.

"Oh?" Yan Shijun looked indifferent, and said with a smile, "What worries me?"

"King Jianning is back to the throne!"

Yan Shijun was slightly surprised, he thought Tang Jie wanted to talk about his dismissal, but unexpectedly...

"Tang Yushi has something to say, you might as well say it clearly."

"Master" Tang Jie bowed slightly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Xu Han, Wang Qianhe begged for orders, and King Jianning returned to the throne, and King Jin did not stop all of this. Isn't this enough to make Lord Hou worry about His Majesty and the Queen Mother?"

"Hehe...Qin Yi's status as a sinner, this matter has been settled, even if he has all kinds of abilities, it's nothing more than that," Yan Shijun replied.

"That's right." Tang Jie nodded and smiled, and continued, "But Qin Chen was also named King of Nanding, and King Jin didn't stop him. Lord Hou... isn't that enough to cause concern?"

Yan Shijun's face changed slightly, and Tang Jie chuckled inwardly, this Wenhou is indeed...younger.

"The Golden Palace of King Jin tried its best to turn the tide and support His Majesty, Tang Yushi... Your words are a bit shocking," Yan Shijun tried.

This Tang Jie came here late at night and said such a thing, who sent it?

Haha... Tang Jie laughed twice, understanding what Yan Shijun was thinking, and leaned slightly to get closer.

"Lord Hou, King Jin supported His Majesty because of the imperial edict of the late emperor, and Wang Taishi and others all supported His Majesty. With the situation at that time, King Jin could only do so in order to justify and assist the government. Now King Jin let Qin Yi go, and Qin Chen was named because of Winning over the aristocratic clans of the capital, as well as old ministers such as Wang Taishi and Xu Cheng, is even more for the sake of..."

"What?" Yan Shijun asked involuntarily.

Tang Jie hid the light in his eyes, and continued to speak in a low voice, "It's more to threaten His Majesty. The Marquis should understand that to King Jin, it doesn't matter who is in the Golden Palace. What he wants is that the whole court obey King Jin's orders."

At this point, Yan Shijun understood that this person was by no means a member of King Jin, and what Tang Jie said was indeed what he was most worried about.

The King of Jin pardoned Qin Yi, and drew Qin Chen in. He held all the sons of the former emperor in his hands, and the old officials gradually moved closer. As long as the King of Jin felt that the current court was disobedient, he could change someone to sit in the Golden Palace at any time.

"Tang Yushi Gaolun" Yan Shijun looked at him "so clever, when there is a plan, please don't hesitate to enlighten me"

"King of Nam Dinh"

"Oh?"

"Master Hou said that King Jianning treats the body of a sinner, but... King Nanding can knock a mountain and shake a tiger"

Knock the mountain to shake the tiger?Yan Shijun looked coldly and smiled. It is true that King Nanding is more suitable than Qin Yi. This move can knock two tigers, and either one is enough for King Jin to be busy.

Sitting opposite Tang Jie, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, he knew that he had succeeded again.

Yan Shijun followed the palace servants, turned a corridor and suddenly paused, then realized that Yuliang had moved to Changxin Hall.

In front of the palace gate, climbing up the steps, the sound of footsteps echoed, Yan Shijun turned his head and looked down, the imperial steps and palace walls here are no different from the Jinhua Palace, he hates this gorgeous immutability, as if no matter how hard he struggles, he can't change it.

"Brother" Nangong Yuliang was sitting alone in the hall, and saw him stand up.

"See the Queen Mother" Yan Shijun bowed and saluted.

Nangong Yuliang frowned slightly, and the palace servant who looked around said softly, "You guys go down."

Yan Shijun stood up and looked at him when the palace people retreated, Nangong Yuliang led him to sit down sideways, lowered his head slightly and said, "There should be no Jinwang in my palace."

"Be careful." Yan Shijun looked at him, pondered for a while and said with a little guilt, "I was negligent."

Sun Bo is greedy for ink, he knows that Taiwei's mansion has been turning a blind eye all the time, in order to win over Xinyang's heavy army, especially after the death of Emperor Xuan, he has no soldiers, so he can only find a way from outside the capital. .

"It's not my brother's fault." Nangong Yuliang poured him a cup of tea, sat on the side and said, "King Jin is not easy to deal with."

Yan Shijun frowned slightly, with a trace of dissatisfaction in his heart, he looked at him and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely avenge us."

Nangong Yuliang didn't make a sound, looked at him and said, "What's the matter here, brother?"

Yan Shijun looked at the indifference in his eyes, squeezed the palm of his hand, and said, "Qin Yi has been rehabilitated, Qin Chen canonized as King of Nanding, King Jin's ambition is clearly revealed"

"Qin Yi...it's okay..." Nangong Yuliang's expression changed slightly, and he said slowly, "But the Xiao family can't fall to King Jin, otherwise we will be alone and helpless inside and outside the capital."

Yan Shijun was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect Yuliang to be so clear, he didn't know what it was like for a moment, he paused and said, "That's right, so I plan to get rid of Qin Chen"

"This... will only make them more inclined towards King Jin"

"Don't worry." Yan Shijun smiled strangely at him and said, "We can just let King Jin kill Qin Chen."

Yeah?Nangong Yuliang didn't feel any fluctuations in her heart, she looked at him and asked, "What does brother want me to do?"

Nangong Yuliang has already slightly understood the meaning of his brother's coming, Yan Shijun was squeezed out of the court, and now he is the only one who can speak in the court.

Yuliang has really changed a lot!Yan Shijun was still not quite used to it, he bowed slightly, and said in a low voice, "As long as..."

In the late autumn of September, there was a strong wind in the capital, and the wind swept everything on the street. Many shops took off their covers, and some shops even closed their doors altogether.

It was such a bad weather that a man came staggeringly in front of the gate of Tingwei Mansion, and this man went to the gate to take down the drumstick.

Dong dong dong... The sound of the drum was blown away by the strong wind, but there was still a trace of it entering the inner hall. Gu Lei sat in the yamen for a while, then got up.

"I'm Jiang Sheng, a member of King Zhao's residence." The man looked at Gu Lei weakly and said, "Someone in the capital can communicate with Zhao!"

Gu Lei's eyes widened suddenly, and when he was about to ask, the man had already passed out, "Come on, help him down to rest, take good care of him, don't allow anyone to see him"

"Yes"

The boy led the order, and Gu Lei looked at the leaves outside the door that were blown into the air by the strong wind, and sighed unconsciously, this capital... is really full of strong winds!

Outside the Dongyang Gate, there was a strong wind everywhere, and at the end of the dusty sand, a man was riding on a horse, with a gray cloak covering his head to his feet. Only when the wind blew the corners, could he be seen dressed in white, spotless, and the sky was full of yellow sand. out of place.

Raising his head, Bai Yunfei stood on the horse, his cold eyes swept across the city, his palms tightened, and he rode the horse into the capital.

Qin Yu, I'm here to kill you!
