To The Land of Nevernight

After the death of Emperor Liao, the emperor quickly summoned his confidants to discuss state affairs in the Chuigong Hall.

Emperor Liao has passed the year of his destiny. He was injured all over his body due to fighting in the battlefield when he was young, and he has been ill in recent years.But no one expected that Emperor Liao would die suddenly at this time.

If the Song and Liao countries are at war, the Liao emperor dies, and the Liao state changes suddenly, this is a great opportunity for the Song Dynasty to attack the Liao state.

Zhao Fu asked eagerly: "My dear friends, do you have a good strategy?"

Xu Wei, the left minister, saluted and said: "Nowadays when the two countries are at war, our Great Song Dynasty will not be at a disadvantage. I think that the Great Song Dynasty is no longer what it was 26 years ago. In the eventful autumn of the Liao Kingdom, change and take advantage of the victory to pursue. The restoration of the three lands is just around the corner."

Zhao Fu didn't know that this was a great opportunity to attack the Liao Kingdom.But Xu Wei spoke out what was in his heart, and said it so affirmatively, the emperor said hello three times, and laughed happily.He stood up, walked in front of his courtiers, and said happily: "It depends on this battle how my Great Song Dynasty will establish itself in the Central Plains and not be afraid of Liao from now on!"

The emperor issued an imperial edict overnight, mobilizing the power of the whole country to fight against the hasty Liao.

After Yu Chaosheng came back from the Chuigong Hall, he sat in the hall of the Ministry of Punishments in a daze, unable to recover for a long time.

Yu Chaosheng didn't wake up like a dream until the sun was setting and the sky was getting dark.He raised his head and looked at the gray-haired old yamen, after a long time, when the man asked again, he suddenly stood up and said: "No need."

The old yamen didn't know why, so he saw Master Shang Shu walking out of the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment quickly, as if some scourge was chasing after him.

The attack on Liao is imminent.

Yu Chaosheng never expected that when he brought Wang Xiao and the others back from Youzhou, he would encounter the current situation.

At that time, Yu Chaosheng secretly inquired about the Yinyin Division of Youzhou, and he discovered that Wang Zifeng reached out to the Northwest Camp, using the Yinyin Division to have ties with the generals.It was a godsend.He didn't give Wang Zifeng a chance to react, he just arrested him and returned to Beijing before leaving, so that even if Wang Zifeng found out, he would be powerless to recover.

Yu Chaosheng thought about it, Wang Zifeng colluded with Li Jingde and others to control the power of the court with one hand.But he didn't know at the time that what Wang Xiao and others were doing for the Northwest Camp was to sneak into the Liao Kingdom to seek information.

Now that Wang Xiao and the others are being held in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, what should be explained has been clearly explained.

When all the pieces on the chessboard fell slowly and caught Yu Chaosheng's eyes, he finally saw the big game clearly.

As early as three years ago, the emperor sent Su Wenyun and Tang Shen to Youzhou together for the purpose of seeking Liao!They borrowed Yin Yinsi to place people in the Liao Kingdom.This matter is so entangled with Yin Yinsi that even the emperor himself knows it well, and Wang Zifeng will never be able to hide it.But Wang Zifeng knew it was one thing, and he intervened a lot in private, but it was another.

This is a great opportunity.

He could file a complaint with the emperor, pretending not to know about the Liao plot, and sue Wang Zifeng for maintaining his power and covering the sky with one hand.

A high-pitched yell suddenly sounded, passed through the thick courtyard wall, and reached Yu Chaosheng's ears.Yu Chaosheng came back to his senses abruptly, and when he raised his palm, he saw that it was covered with wet and cold sweat.

It's already three o'clock, and it's about to go to court.

Yu Chaosheng stayed up all night, his eyes were red from the heat, he walked to the desk, picked up a pen, and was about to write a memorial to impeach Wang Qin.But before his pen fell, he stopped again.

The next day, Tang Shen came out of the Hall of Qinzheng, and as soon as he walked out the door, he bumped into Yu Chaosheng when he looked up.

Tang Shen was slightly stunned, he bowed first and said, "I have seen Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment."

Yu Chaosheng was also a little dazed, he raised his hand and said, "There's no need to be too polite."

Tang Shen: "Your Majesty's complexion is not good, but is your body in trouble?"

Yu Chaosheng: "I've been busy with business these days, thank you Mr. Tang for your concern."

The two exchanged a few words and left separately.

Tang Shen turned his head and saw Yu Chaosheng stepping into the Hall of Qinzheng, heading all the way to the left Xiangtang room.

Probably went to find Xu Wei.

Tang Shen's eyes darkened, he turned and left.

Yu Chaosheng came to Zuo Xiang's hall, and Xu Xiang was looking through the military brochures from the northwest.Seeing Yu Chaosheng coming, he smiled and said: "Why is Xianzhi here? Sit down. I'm really busy today. Now that Emperor Liao has passed away, the war between the two countries is tense, and every letter from the military is very important. , have to see."

Yu Chaosheng sat down and said, "How is the battle in the northwest?"

Xu Wei smiled and said: "The second prince Yelushe led the black wolf army to fight in Datong Mansion, but the Liao Emperor died at this time. What do you think? He wants to fight again, and he wants to compete with his younger brother for the throne. Although I don't know the specifics , but I think the Liao Kingdom will soon fall into civil strife."

Yu Chaosheng bowed his head and remained silent, struggling in his heart.

Seeing this, Xu Yan immediately understood that his students came here on business this time.He didn't force him, but said slowly: "Xianzhi, how long have you been my teacher and student?"

Yu Chaosheng: "It has been [-] years since the student ranked second in high school and was appreciated by his mentor."

"Whenever you are indecisive, you will speak few words."

Yu Chaosheng was stunned when he heard this.

"Look, that's what you look like now. But what happened?"

Yu Chaosheng hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "The student came here for a matter. Before the student went to Youzhou, the master once said that the only one who can save me is myself. I brought a few people back last month. The matter sir You know it too. But you only know one thing and don’t know the other thing, these people are actually the military spies placed by the Holy Majesty in the Liao Kingdom!"

Xu Wu paused for a while while drinking tea, he put down his cup, and sighed, "That's right! I had guessed it a long time ago, but I was still not sure. Now it seems that this is true. So you think that you caught that How many people will affect the war between the two countries?"

Yu Chaosheng didn't speak.

Xu Wei: "Confused! If those four people are really so important, Li Jingde will allow you to arrest them? Grand Master Zhou will allow it? Even the current emperor, it is impossible to allow you to do such things! They may be important, but they are not the key, no They may not be women, but they may affect one or two."

Yu Chaosheng: "...the students know their mistakes. But if the students really sue Wang Zifeng now, it will be very difficult for the court ministers to guess the layout of the Holy Majesty in the northwest."

Xu Wei suddenly understood his student's intentions, and he looked at Yu Chaosheng quietly.

"Xianzhi, people can do something if they don't want to, and then they can do something."

Yu Chaosheng stood there for a long time.

On the same day, the Youzhou Army reported that it was urgent for eight hundred miles, and sent it to Shengjing at high speed.

On the same day, Wang Zifeng, the commander of Shangshu Zuopushe and Yinyin Division, asked the emperor to return the four people detained by Shangshu Yu Chaosheng of the Ministry of Punishment.

The emperor noticed the undercurrent in it, and he smiled and asked Wang Qin: "Zifeng, are these four people so important?"

Wang Qin said respectfully: "Returning to Your Majesty, I am the commander of the Yin Yin Division, and I can't hide anything about the Yin Yin Division from my minister. I think these four people are indeed more important, especially now, they are extremely important."

The emperor smiled lightly, and made a random order, asking Yu Chaosheng to release him quickly after finding out the facts of the case.

This is the emperor.

Zhao Fu knew that Wang Qin was aware of his deployment in the northwest, but he wanted Wang Qin to know, not Wang Qin to intervene.If he really wanted Wang Qin to do this, there was no need to send Su Wenyun and Tang Shen there.Sending Tang Shen there was to give Wang Qin a chance to gain power.Only sending Tang Shen but not telling Wang Qin a word was a strong warning.

When cultivating immortals at night, Zhao Fu was in a good mood and felt very proud.

He got excited and climbed up to the Xuji Building in the middle of the night, looked at the city's grand capital, and said to Ji Fu, his personal eunuch: "Although I only live in a corner, the whole world is in my hands!"

Ji Fu apologized and said with a smile: "The Divine Land and the Kyushu are all His Majesty's."

Zhao Fu shook his head: "All the people on this land belong to me."

Xu Wei?Wang Quan?Chen Linghai?Geng Shaoyun?

Wang Qin, Su Wenyun, Yu Chaosheng, Tang Shen...

Even Ji Wengji who thinks he knows him best, who is not played by him in the applause!

Ji Fu naturally didn't understand what the emperor meant, but he had lived for 60 years. When he was a young eunuch, he heard from his father-in-law that he would be proud when he was old.No one is perfect in this world, and no one can be a smart person forever, maybe a fool forever, and he will not know until he dies, a fool is always smart.

Zhao Fuman thought he had firmly grasped Wang Qin and Yu Chaosheng.

If Wang Qin really intervened in the plot of the Liao Dynasty, Yu Chaosheng would definitely join him.Otherwise, Wang Qin will definitely not spare Yu Chaosheng, he will use the Xingzhou case to make it difficult for Yu Chaosheng to stand up.

However, the most unpredictable thing in this world is the human heart.

On August [-]th, Yu Chaosheng had just entered the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment when an official sent an invitation.

Yu Chaosheng opened it, and was silent for a long time.

After leaving the Yamen that day, he came to Qianlilou.The private room on the fourth floor of the Qianli Building had already been booked, and the servants led the way. When Yu Chaosheng opened the door and entered the private room, he saw Wang Zifeng standing by the window, looking into the distance.

Yu Chaosheng made a bow and saluted: "Your Majesty, Yu Chaosheng, I have seen Zuo servant shoot your lord."

Wang Qin turned his head, his eyes beamed with joy: "Master Yu." He strode forward and said with a smile: "There is no need to be polite, please sit down quickly."

Yu Chaosheng sat down, and the two began to eat.

Qianli Building is the property of Prince Jing's Mansion, and many court officials gather here, so the private rooms on the fourth floor are quiet and secluded, and there are small doors to enter and exit, so you are not afraid of being bumped into by others.

After the two finished their meal, they began to greet each other.Most of what they talked about was about the imperial court, and the war in the northwest was tense recently, so Yu Chaosheng found out that what they talked about was almost all about Youzhou.

But Wang Qin changed his subject suddenly: "Master Yu, do you know where I was looking when you first came in?"

When Yu Chaosheng first entered the door, Wang Qin was indeed leaning on the railing and looking from afar, not knowing where to look.

Yu Chaosheng: "The lower officials don't know."

Wang Qin smiled, "Follow me."

When the two came to the window, Wang Qin opened the window and pointed to one of them: "Master Yu, do you think something looks familiar?"

Yu Chao became more and more confused, now it was dusk again, the light was dim, and he couldn't see clearly for a while.He squinted his eyes for a while, then realized: "Where is Qionglin Garden?"

Wang Qin: "It's Qionglin Garden." He showed a look of reminiscence: "Every three years in the palace examination, the holy majesty personally nominates the top three. After the first and three people parade through the streets, all Jinshi will take part in that night in Qionglin Garden. The once-in-a-lifetime Qionglin banquet! Now that I think about it, that night must have happened 18 years ago."

How could Yu Chaosheng not feel emotional: "It is said that the happiest time in life is when you are named on the gold list."

Wang Qin: "I remember Master Yu once said such a sentence at the Qionglin Banquet."

Yu Chaosheng looked up at Wang Qin, his eyes were puzzled, but for some reason, his mind was extremely clear.He no longer remembers what he said 18 years ago, but there is a voice in his heart telling him what Wang Zifeng will tell him next.And how this sentence will drive him into a situation where he will never be restored.

Wang Qin looked at him sincerely, spoke softly, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty asked the three of them why they entered Beijing to take the exam and studied hard for ten years. Master Yu was too sincere at the time, and he answered His Majesty in such a way that Zifeng still remembers New, like yesterday. You said, you didn’t study hard for ten years, you have studied hard for twenty years. As for why you entered the examination to become an official, Master Yu said..."

Yu Chaosheng followed his words and said: "Students study hard, mostly for the reason of seeking why they study hard."

Wang Qin smiled slightly and said, "Yes. Now that eighteen years have passed, has Mr. Yu found the reason?"

Yu Chaosheng took a deep look at Wang Zifeng, and he bowed and bowed: "Xianzhi is not as good as Mr. Wang in this life."

Wang Qin was moved suddenly, and he also saluted back, and when he spoke again, the words were true and from the heart.

"Master Yu is sincere and noble. Today, Wang Zifeng is sincerely convinced."
