History of Yongwu

Palace of Yongshou

"Your Majesty, Chen Qi." Gu Lei stood in the hall and greeted the throne and said, "Jiang Sheng, a member of Zhao Wang's family, fled to the capital yesterday, saying that since Yonghe seven years ago, there have been people in Beijing who have communicated with Zhao."

Gu Lei understands that as long as this matter is thrown out in the Golden Palace, it will cause conflicts among all parties, but Gu Lei has to say that firstly, it is not his doing to conceal this matter, and secondly, he cannot let others give birth to his own bias, so he was transferred back by King Jin. It was already speculated that Gu Lei didn't want to get involved in this power vortex.

The faces of everyone in the hall suddenly changed. Qin Yu glanced at him, and looked at Gu Lei with slightly lowered eyebrows. Just as he was about to speak, Nangong Yuliang, who was sitting on the throne, spoke.

"Yonghe seven years?" Nangong Yuliang said in surprise.

"Yes"

Nangong Yuliang's face darkened, and he said in a serious tone, "It's a death penalty for internal ministers to contact the kings outside, who is so bold?"

"According to what Jiang Sheng said, this matter is very involved, even... even..." Gu Lei hesitated for a moment before saying, "It involves the clan, so I dare not make decisions without authorization."

As soon as Gu Lei finished speaking, Sinonong Xiaozhe's face turned pale, Qin Yu caught his expression, looked at Xu Han and others beside him, and saw that the prime minister's expression was normal as usual.

Slightly tilting his head, Qin Yu glanced at Nangong Yuliang who was sitting on the throne, and knew in his heart that this matter was done by Yan Shijun, otherwise why would Yuliang...

"The matter involves the clan..." Nangong Yuliang looked at the King of Jin ponderingly and said, "It's better to have this matter supervised by the King of Jin and the Tingwei Mansion to take charge of it. What does the King of Jin think?"

Hehe... Qin Yu smiled inwardly, and glanced sideways at the throne. Nangong Yuliang was startled by that gaze, and his palms were sweating.

"King Jin?"

Nangong Yuliang and all the officials in the hall couldn't help looking at him, Qin Yu stood up slowly, saluted the throne, and said respectfully, "I obey!"

Huh... Nangong Yuliang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, raised his eyebrows and looked, King Jin happened to look over, his eyes met, his heart trembled again, King Jin's cold pupils seemed to see through everything, he couldn't help but perturbed.

The strong wind blew for three days, and finally dissipated on the fourth day. People hiding in their houses took to the streets one after another. For the officials in the Golden Palace, the strong wind had just begun.

King Jin's Mansion

Zhao Zhiping is sitting opposite Jin Wang "This move is to deal with the prince"

"Hehe...not really." Qin Yu smiled lightly, "The one they really want to put to death is King Nanding."

"But it was intended to sow discord between the aristocratic clan in Gyeonggi, the old ministers of the former emperor and the prince," Zhao Zhiping added.Although Wang Qianhe and the others have not always been of the same mind, at least they are in peace at the moment.

"No, what they want is to disturb the imperial court, so that this king has no time for others."

"My lord..."

"This plan comes from the state of Wu." Qin Yu looked at Zhao Zhiping with a smile, and said flatly, "If Yan Shijun had this vision, he wouldn't do it."

Yan Shijun is a villain, and a villain has only villainous schemes, and he cannot see through the general trend of the world.

"In this way..." Zhao Zhiping thoughtfully said slowly, "It's about keeping people's hearts steady."

"That's right, it's good to stabilize people's hearts, don't be overly concerned"

Wu Guo wants to use Yan Shijun to trap himself in the struggle between the court and the court. The more he cares about this matter, the more he will fall into Wu Guo's trap.

"Wang Ye Ming Jian"

"Sir, you should know how to do it," Qin Yu said with a smile.

"The humble minister takes orders"

Zhao Zhiping took the order to retreat, Qin Yu rubbed his palms, and said to Xiao Fuzi who was standing next to him, "Call Li Han over here."

As King Jin's general guard, Li Han naturally had to accompany him when he returned, but the guard camp of King Jin didn't enter the capital, so Qin Yu didn't want to cause panic among the courtiers in the capital.

"Prince" Li Han arrived in a moment.

"Go and investigate the suspicious people who have recently entered and exited Wenhou's Mansion," Qin Yu ordered.

"I don't know what the prince said?" Li Han was a little embarrassed.

Hmm... Qin Yu tilted his head and thought for a while, then said to him "all suspicious people"

"Yes" Li Han took the order, not daring to ask any more.

The house fell silent, a sparrow twittered and jumped to a branch outside the window, Qin Yu stood at the window, there was no sound in the yard except for the chirping sparrow.

"Little Fuzi, this mansion is a bit deserted, isn't it?" Qin Yu said suddenly.

Xiao Fuzi stood behind him in a daze, thinking about King Jin's words, not knowing how to answer.

Ha ha... Qin Yu stood in front of him and smiled. He said something casually, and Xiao Fuzi had to think about it for a long time before he could determine how to answer it. Even small talk was boring.

"My lord" Xiao Fuzi finally replied, "I heard that there is a famous violinist in Beijing with superb piano skills. Why don't you call me to play a piece for my lord?"

"Okay." Qin Yu turned around and said with a smile, "Go and call me."

As soon as Xiao Fuzi went out, Wang Meng came, and immediately said, "My lord, Pingyang and Liang Anjun reported"

Qin Yu nodded and signaled Wang Meng to sit down. He and Wang Meng discussed the military situation for a long time, and it was dusk when it ended.

"My lord," Wang Meng looked at him and said, "Another thing?"

"Say" Qin Yu picked up the teacup to moisten his throat.

"An Dinghou, please order to transfer to Dongyang, and ask General Cheng Wen and General Wang Ru to station in Liang An and Ping Yang." Wang Meng also had a strange look on his face as he said, he didn't understand why Master An made such a move.

After hearing this, Qin Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling a little clear in his heart, looked at Wang Meng and replied, "No."

"Uh...if Master An asked the last general..." Wang Meng was a little embarrassed.

An Dinghou is not an ordinary general, such a loyal town border general, even Jin Wang should give a reason, but the prince's attitude...

"It's just not allowed." Qin Yu glanced at him and said lightly, "The reason, An Ziqi understands."

"The last general knows." Wang Meng left strangely, when did An Ziqi offend the prince, and why did the prince not like it so much.

Dongyang is still thousands of miles away, so what if you come back, besides, there are no mountains and rivers between you and me, so why bother yourself in vain!

夜晚

Sitting in the pavilion, Qin Yu looked at the person playing the piano in front of him, and couldn't help laughing. Xiao Fuzi's speculation was not in vain, he really put his mind to it.

The qin player sat under the moonlight, the autumn wind blew, rolled up the sleeves of his robe, and a few strands of blue hair flew, and the sound of the qin was really beautiful.

Leaning back, Qin Yu gently closed his eyes, the sound of the zither fluttered slowly, from here to all directions, Qin Yu listened carefully, feeling sleepy unconsciously.

After the song was over, the sound of the piano disappeared, Qin Yu opened his eyes in a daze, and looked at the piano player.

"Well played," he praised.

"Thank you, my lord, for your appreciation." The piano player stood up and fell to his knees.

"Get up." The piano player stood up, Qin Yu looked at him, Xiao Fuzi really knew himself very well!This pianist is quite beautiful.

Shaking his head, he stood up and walked out of the pavilion, saying to Xiao Fuzi, "Reward this person a lot"

"Yes" Xiao Fuzi replied respectfully, looking at King Jin's back with a strange expression.

Wenhou Mansion

Tang Jie was a little surprised. He thought it was necessary for Wu Guo to plan and facilitate this matter, but he didn't expect that Yan Shijun would also have secret work in Zhao Guo, and he underestimated this person before.

"Hou Ye" Tang Jie saluted.

"Hehe... Tang Yushi, please sit down." Yan Shijun looked at him with a smile, "Thank you, Yushi, for allowing this Marquis to catch the treacherous party in the court."

"Hou Ye Liao Zan" Tang Jie bowed slightly and said, "It's just now..."

It can be said that there is conclusive evidence for the matter of Tong Zhao, and there are indeed many people who secretly colluded, because in the past, there were not only people who communicated with Zhao, but also Wu and Jin.

But it can also be said that this matter is false. First, the involvement is too extensive. About half of the imperial court has more or less correspondence with other countries, so it cannot be investigated in depth. Second, Jiang Sheng’s confession alone is not enough to convict him. King Jin supervised this matter, so there must be a plan.

Yan Shijun understood what he meant, looked at him and asked, "Tang Yushi's heart is towards the southeast, why did he help Benhou again?"

"Because of the King of Jin" Tang Jie was not surprised that he guessed that he was from the King of Wu, and smiled slightly.

"So Benhou can trust Tang Yushi now."

"Master Hou, you and the official are now allies"

ally?Yan Shijun nodded, "Qin Chen and the Xiao family had evil intentions when they were the first emperors. I want to get rid of them, but I am afraid that the king of Jin will stop them, so I want to borrow the power of Tang Yushi."

"My lord please speak"

"This Marquis heard that the state of Wu is unparalleled in the world, and wants to use the power of the state of Wu to turn the Gyeonggi family against the Xiao family."

Tang Jie understood what Yan Shijun was thinking, and laughed softly. This man is a villain, but he is also a smart villain.

"I understand, Lord Hou, don't worry."

In the capital, a city full of princes and grandchildren, there are always rumors, anecdotes of wealthy families, and secrets in the court. Over time, everyone is used to living in rumors, but there are always some rumors that occasionally appear, which can really kill people.

Prime Minister

"Father, there is a rumor in Beijing that the King of Jin wants to marry the daughter of the Marquis of Xiang, is this credible?" Xu Xiuhe asked.

Xu Han remained silent with a sullen face. The rumors were originally unbelievable, but this time...

"When the first emperor was still the king of Qi, the king of Yan once went to Beijing intending to propose marriage to Marquis Xiang, but... was pushed back and delayed, and the result was nothing!"

"So..." Xu Xiuhe muttered in confusion, "This matter is true."

Xu Han shook his head and replied, "Let's not mention whether this is true or not. I'm afraid some people will be troubled if they really have this heart after hearing the rumors!"

The fact that the Gyeonggi family and the Qin Chen Xiao family came together was because they had nowhere to go, but the current King Jin is a hundred times better than the original Qin Chen. Before that, the King Jin had the heart to win over the Gyeonggi Aristocratic Clan. The foundation, in the imperial court, became the masters of the Guanzhong family and the Jingji family. I am afraid that the former emperor and old ministers will be squeezed out. At that time... who will be able to stop the King of Jin.

Usurp the throne and stand on your own!

"Xiuhe" Xu Han withdrew his thoughts and looked at his son, "Don't stay in the capital, go to Xinyang."

The King of Jin sent a letter to transfer Xu Xiuhe, but he delayed Xu Xiuhe's complaint for a month. Now that the case of Zhao is going to be a big mess, it's better to let Xu Xiuhe leave.

"Father, if I leave at this time, if King Jin is really cheating, then King Jianning and you are not..."

"Don't always go to see King Jianning." Xu Han interrupted him.

"But··"

"King Jianning is already difficult, and meeting him rashly will only make it more difficult for him!"

Xu Xiuhe didn't argue any more, he cupped his hands and said, "My son knows."

"Well, pack up and leave for Xinyang tomorrow."

"Yes"

After Xu Xiuhe left, Xu Han sat there thinking for a long time.

The capital has always been entangled with many forces. The old ministers of Emperor Xuan were the former ministers of Qi. Emperor Xuan was reused after he ascended the throne, and the Gyeonggi family was excluded. Since Jin King killed Yang Jingyi and Kong Guopei, the Gyeonggi family fell into a trough.

In addition, there is also the Guanzhong family who was feared by Emperor Xuan at first, but was supported by King Jin.

These three parties have been secretly competing for many years, and the aristocratic clan in Gyeonggi is in dire straits and urgently needs a backer, and who in this capital is more reliable than King Jin!

Today’s King Jin is not in the seventh year of Yonghe. The King Jin’s return to the court is aimed at the throne. If you want the throne, you need people’s attachment. Today’s Gyeonggi aristocratic families are no longer disgusted by King Jin, but need their attachment and support , In order to exclude the old ministers of the former emperor and monopolize the power.

Xu Han tapped lightly on the edge of the table with his fingers. After sorting out all the relationships, his face suddenly sank.

夜晚

Outside the Jianning Prince's Mansion, Xu Xiuhe looked at the vermilion gate, walked to the small gate in the backyard, and knocked lightly on the door.

"General Xu?" Qin Yi came in a hurry, saw him stunned for a moment, and hurried forward, "Is something wrong?"

Seeing the panic in his eyes, Xu Xiuhe felt a little sad in his heart, so he raised the corner of his mouth to comfort him and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I'm going to Xinyang tomorrow, and I came to see you specially."

"Go to Xinyang..." Qin Yi muttered, looked at him and said melancholy, "I don't know when the general will see you again"

The melancholy spread to the bottom of Xu Xiuhe's heart, making him happy, he took off his sword, and put it on his hands, "Your Highness, the capital is dangerous. This sword has been with me for many years, and I will give it to Your Highness, just in case."

"It's so precious, I can't accept it" Qin Yi shirked.

"Your Highness" Xu Xiuhe looked at him with gentle eyes, "Nothing is more important than Your Highness"

Qin Yi was taken aback for a moment, he looked at Xu Xiuhe and smiled slightly, raised his hand to pick up the saber, and drew it out slightly, the cold light of the blade was reflected, he gave a sigh of admiration.

"The general sent me such a valuable thing, I can't do nothing in return"

King Jianning took off the jade pendant on his chest, handed it to Xu Xiuhe and said, "This is what my mother gave me before she was alive. I gave it to the general. May the general be safe in Xinyang."

Xu Xiu and his hands paused, hesitated for a moment before reaching out to catch them, put them around his neck, and bowed his hands to salute, "Your Highness, if you are in trouble, you must tell the general, the ends of the world... I will come before Your Highness"

Qin Yi's heart warmed up. Over the years, few people have treated him like this. He bowed and saluted. Qin Yi said to him, "Qin Yi will never forget the general's kindness. If you have a destiny, you must repay the general's kindness."

Xu Xiuhe hurriedly helped him up, held his hand tightly, looked into his eyes and said, "Your Highness...I...I don't need your Highness's return"

After bowing and saluting, Xu Xiuhe turned and strode away. Qin Yi stood there for a while, a strange emotion flashed through his heart, he shook his head and turned to enter the door.

Inside the house, Princess Jianning looked at Qin Yi who had returned from the outside, and asked suspiciously, "It's so late, where is your Highness?"

"Oh." Qin Yi came back to his senses, saw her smiling and said, "It's boring in the room, I'll go for a walk outside."

Princess Jianning nodded and said to him, "It's getting late, Your Highness, let's rest."

"Yeah." Qin Yi stepped forward to help her up, looked at her stomach and said, "You are heavy, so you don't have to wait for me in the future, just go to rest earlier."

"Hehe...I got it." Princess Jianning gave him a shallow smile.

Looking at her smile, Qin Yi somehow thought of Xu Xiuhe who had left, and fell asleep with some preoccupations.
