Chapter 423

The adoptive father initially proposed to fight against the witchcraft, but Xu Qi'an died in Yunzhou.

Nangong qianrou guesses that the adoptive father's mood at that time was not only distressed by the loss of his trusted confidant, but also the idea that the voodoo religion was growing too fast and needed to be suppressed.

Later, Xu Qi'an came back to Beijing to revive, and the Shamanism was always on guard. In this case, there was no need to fight.

For Shamanism, we only need to suppress it.

But the adoptive father's meaning is to set off a huge national war.

"Adoptive father, is it too radical?" Nangong qianrou has something to say.

Now that Dafeng's national strength is weak, a huge and time-consuming national war is an unbearable burden.

"Yang Yan came back from the north to report that the Wushen sect attacked the northern demons. Zhu Jiu, who was unable to stand alone, withdrew from his original territory and brought the demons to join the barbarians, preparing to retreat to the northwest. "

Wei Yuan bowed his head to study the Canyu map, and his tone was flat: "although the plan of King Huai failed, the purpose of the sorcerer religion was achieved. Zhujiu and Jili know that the death of any one of them will make the northern demon man fall into unprecedented weakness.

"But Chuzhou also suffered heavy losses, lost a third grade, unable to go north, and cheapened the sorcery."

Nangong qianrou was surprised and suddenly realized: "so, the adoptive father doesn't care about the court, because your majesty is very likely to send you to the north?"

At the same time, he speculated in his heart that his Majesty's suppression of Wang Shoufu at this time was, at first glance, a disregard of balance, but in fact it was just the way of balance.

Without Wei Yuan in the court, isn't wang Shoufu the only one?

"Even if the adoptive father's center of gravity is not in the court, it's still far from the end of autumn. Why don't he take advantage of the crisis of the Wang party and go to war in the future?"

Nangong qianrou put forward her own views.

Wei Yuan said with a smile, "do you think it's better for the Wang party to fall or not?"

Nangong qianrou said without hesitation: "the best."

Wei Yuan nodded: "yes, it's best to fall, but it's also good not to fall. If it wasn't for the war, I would have fallen. Once Wang Zhenwen fell, I had at least five years to do things. Your majesty wants to support a new party against me, not overnight.

"In the current situation, Wang Zhengwen and I have been fighting for so many years, so we know the root and the bottom. A familiar opponent in the court is better than an unfamiliar passer-by. "

At this time, the official came to report and said in a respectful voice: "Duke Wei, Qian Qingshu, the great Bachelor of Wuying hall, asked to see you."

Qian Qingshu is Wang Zhenwen's confidant..... Nangong qianrou looks at Wei Yuan.

Wei Yuan waved his hand: "no, let him go back."

The official bowed himself and said, "yes."

"Adoptive father?" Nangong qianrouxin said that the adoptive father finally chose to look on coldly.

"It's no fun if I do it."

Wei Yuan said with a smile: "this human relationship should be left to the right person."

Nangong qianrou didn't understand, but she didn't ask. After so many years together, he was used to his adoptive father's language style.

"You go out first." Wei Yuan said suddenly.

After Nangong qianrou left, he took out several envelopes, picked up the pen and wrote.

...

palace, in Jingxiu palace.

His royal highness was eating iced plums, with a basin of ice at his feet, enjoying the cool wind of the palace maids, but his expression was not at all relaxed. He said:

"on that day, I advised Wang Shoufu not to compete with his father or with Wei Yuan, but he didn't listen. Now, my father is going to punish him. "

The crown prince and Wang Shoufu do not have much in common, but there are many people in the Wang party who are unswerving.

If Wang Zhenwen falls, these people will also be implicated, weakening the influence of the crown prince in the court in disguise.

Imperial concubine Chen and Lin'an were listening with some worries. Since the year of jingcha, the position of the crown prince has been swaying from left to right, and they can't sit still.

Chen Fei frowned and said, "what's Wei Yuan's attitude there?"

The crown prince said in a deep voice: "Qian Qingshu, the great Bachelor of Wuying hall, went to visit Wei Yuan this morning. He didn't see anyone."

"Wei Yuan and Wang Shoufu are political enemies. I'm afraid they are waiting to be killed."

The prince looked at his younger sister and said, "Lin'an, isn't Xu Qi'an your confidant? He's the man Wei Yuan relies on. Why don't you try to break through from him?"

Lin'an is sitting on the soft floor, with a long red dress, complicated and gorgeous, a golden hair crown, a round oval face, beautiful lines, peach blossom eyes and charming water.

Silent, like a delicate beauty.

"He hasn't come to me for a long time..."

Lin'an said in a low voice with a gloomy face.

After the Chuzhou massacre, more than half a month later, Xu Ningyan never visited her. Lin'an didn't say anything about it, but she always felt that Xu Ningyan totally hated the royal family because of it.

I also hate her, so I deliberately alienate myself.Thinking of their happy time before, Lin'an felt sad.

"It's simple. You send someone to Xu's house to deliver a letter and ask him to meet. If he answers, it means that his mind is still with you." The prince gave his advice with a smile.

Chen Fei added: "remember to keep it secret. Let the servants of Lin'an Prefecture do it. Don't send the palace guards. Don't let your father know that you have anything to do with Xu Qian. "

Lin'an forced his head, and his face showed a nervous and expectant expression: "I'll let people do it."

...

at lunch, Yuan Xiong, the censor of zuodu, and Qin Yuandao, the Minister of the Ministry of war, entered a restaurant in the inner city.

There are also several officials from the same camp.

There is an hour's rest time for lunch. The dining hall of the Yamen in the capital city is famous for its bad taste. It's not as clear as water, but don't think about big fish and big meat.

In addition to the bottom officials who eat in the dining hall, the top officials all go to restaurants.

Yuan Xiong raised his teacup and said with a smile, "congratulations to the Minister of Qin. He is expected to join the cabinet."

Qin Yuandao raised his glass and said, "it's just around the corner for Mr. Yuan to monopolize the capital inspection yard. At that time, don't forget to take care of us."

The Supreme Court has great power and is responsible for supervising all officials. Yuan Xiong has always wanted to take charge of duchayuan and kick Wei Yuan's party members out.

Qin Yuandao wanted to find a new way to join the cabinet because he was hopeless as Minister of the Ministry of war.

They jointly planned the imperial examination fraud case, which failed in the end, and now they make a comeback. Different from the last time, your majesty looked on coldly at that time, but this time he gave his full support behind him.

"Even if Wang Zhenwen doesn't fall down this time, he will have to hurt his muscles and bones. He has held the cabinet for many years. Previously, he had to rely on him to check and balance Wei Yuan. Now, your majesty intends to let Wei Yuan serve as the commander in chief of Chuzhou and go to Chuzhou, so Wang Zhenwen will have to move. "

"Moreover, I heard that Qian Qingshu paid a visit to Wei Yuan this morning, and he shut the door."

"Last time, if it wasn't for the little bastard named Xu, we would have moved." Qin Yuandao gritted his teeth.

An official raised his glass and said with a smile, "there's no need to be angry. Xu Qi'an can't protect himself. If he offends his majesty, he will be liquidated sooner or later. He will fight the big one first and then the small one. He's not far from death."

"Drink, drink."

Push the cup, change the cup, talk and laugh.

...

"Dalao, someone is sending you a letter outside."

In the front hall, the porter Lao Zhang presented a secret letter.

Xu Qi'an, who was kicking Xu Lingyin as a shuttlecock, put down Yao Mei and asked, "who sent the letter?"

Porter Lao Zhang shook his head: "people outside, did not say for whom to send, he also said waiting for your reply."

"Brother, keep playing!"

Xu Lingyin enjoys the general feeling of flying, and is no longer willing to be a stupid child living on the ground.

Octopus like embrace Xu Qi'an's leg, life and death is not loose.

Xu Qi'an kicked but didn't fly. He said that the strength of the silly child was getting stronger and stronger.

"Peace!"

He gave a cry.

The roaring sound came, and the Taiping sword flew out of the room, hanging in front of Xu Qi'an.

Xu Lingyin was shocked, holding up her small face and looking stupid.

Xu Qi'an picked her up and let her ride on the saber like a witch on a magic broom. Then he patted Xu Lingyin's little ass and said in a loud voice:

"go, magic girl, little Douding!"

Taiping Dao took her out of the front hall. Xiaodouding's heartless laughter came from the air.

Xu Qi'an started to read the letter, which was sent by Lin'an. He told the story of the dispute between the court and the court in recent days. He asked if he could go to explore Wei Yuan's words.

It's not like Lin'an's style. Is it Chen Fei or the prince's instigation?... I remember Wei Gong saying that there are many supporters of the prince in the Wang party. In other words, I haven't visited Lin'an since I killed two princes.

Ah, the main reason is that there are too many things, one by one, neglecting her..

Lin'an is different from Huaiqing. Huaiqing doesn't need to be coaxed, but Lin'an is a girl who really wants to be with her.

"You ask him to tell the master that I know."

Xu Qi'an sent out the porter Lao Zhang and sat at the round table. He couldn't help recalling what Wei Yuan said this morning:

I don't care about this matter.

Yesterday, Xu Erlang went back to his office and told him about the court. Xu Qi'an left a deep impression on him. This morning, he went to the watchman's Yamen to find out about Wei Yuan. Only then did he know that this was not an ordinary fight.

Emperor Yuanjing wanted to move the king.

"For me, it's actually an opportunity. Although Erlang and Miss Wang are flirting, he doesn't get into the sight of Wang Shoufu. Moreover, as a student of Yunlu academy, and for my sake, it is difficult for him to go further in the officialdom unless he takes refuge with Wang Shoufu.

"But Wang Shoufu was born in the Imperial College and naturally resisted the students of Yunlu Academy. Now, isn't it an opportunity. I have a lot of criminal evidence of officials and Cao Guogong's embezzlement and perversion of the law. Part of these political chips were given to Wei Gong and part to Erlang."Isn't there a place to use it now? Moreover, if we can gain the favor of Wang Shoufu, it will help us a lot. I just want to check the files in the archives of the Ministry of official.

"I have confessed the secret letter of Duke Cao to Duke Wei, and he said that regardless of this, the hint is obvious. Recently, Duke Wei seems to be more negative about the affairs of chaotang? What is he planning? "

Xu Erlang went back to the house to have dinner with a depressed face. As soon as he passed through the front yard, he saw Yao Mei riding on a knife, circling and dancing in the courtyard, laughing.

Niang and Lingyue watched anxiously at the bottom, screaming from time to time and saying: be careful, be careful!

Aunt airway: "Xu Ningyan, you quickly let your broken knife down, if the ring sound hurt, see how I teach you."

My aunt stood in the yard, pinching her waist, and called to the front hall.

"Mother, how can the knife fly?" Xu Lingyue was a little surprised and scared.

"Who knows, it must be your elder brother's magic." Said the aunt.

The two of you have seen Li Miaozhen walking up and down on a flying sword. They think it's no big deal, but Xu Erlang is stunned when he sees this scene.

"Jue, peerless magic weapon..." murmured Xu Erlang.

At this time, Xu Qian came out of the front hall and said, "peace, come down."

Taiping Dao lowered its height and hovered still. Her aunt snatched her baby daughter right away and spat, "what a broken Dao."

With that, she saw Xu Xinnian stop in front of the Taiping Dao, holding out her hand with straight eyes. She seemed to want to hold the Dao, but she didn't dare. She was very excited.

As a scholar born in the orthodox system of Confucianism, Xu Erlang naturally knew the peerless magic weapon.

Seeing his son's attitude, his aunt said suspiciously, "Erlang, what's wrong with this knife?"

Xu Erlang murmured: "this Dao is extremely rare and valuable. No, it's priceless."

Priceless treasure?! My aunt was so excited that she looked at the sabre in surprise and said tentatively, "how much is that worth?"

Aunt needs a specific number to measure its value.

"Well, if you exchange it for a title, you can at least exchange it for a count or a marquis."

The Marquis is next only to the Duke. In Dafeng, the Duke is almost the top of the heterosexual title.

My aunt opened her mouth. When she looked at the Taiping Dao again, it was like looking at her son. No, it was hotter than her son.

"I want to play." Xu Lingyin climbs Taiping Dao.

"Go, dead child, such a precious thing, I'll kill you if it's damaged." My aunt slapped xiaodouding away.

Xu Qi'an looks at this scene with a smile and shouts: "Erlang, you come in, I have something to tell you."

Xu Erlang went into the front hall and sat on the table. Then his eyes were attracted by a stack of secret letters on the table. They were not sent by Lin'an, but by the private and public houses of Cao state.

"I already know what happened to Wang Shoufu. Erlang, if you have the ability to help him out, will you give him a helping hand or look on coldly?"

Hearing the speech, Xu Xinnian frowned slightly and said frankly, "I'm worried about my yearning, but I don't have much feeling and anxiety about Wang Shoufu's experience. If I didn't, I would probably have a drink with my elder brother now. "

make complaints about his son in law. Xu HSI an laughed at his heart. "But if you can help, I believe Wang will accept you, at least not against you."

He pointed to the secret letter on the table.

With doubts, Xu Erlang opened the secret letter and looked at it one by one. At first, his pupils shrank and he was shocked. Then he was excited and his hands trembled slightly.

If these secret letters fall into the hands of those with power, they will become sharp weapons in their hands. Well, I don't know how many Beijing officials will be convicted of this, and the whole Beijing officialdom will usher in a big earthquake.

Of course, there is another possibility that all these secret letters will be destroyed because there are too many people involved.

"I can only give you a small part of these secret letters. We need to select a few people who are useful to Wang Shoufu." Xu Qi'an laid out the secret letters one by one.

The so-called useful people can't be Wang Dang or yuan Xiong. The latter is supported by the emperor. These secret letters can't cause fatal effect on them. At least in the present situation, they can't be killed in one blow.

Soon, the brothers picked out eight characters. It is not only of high weight, but also not of the former two.

"After you leave, go to the palace and hand over these secret letters to Wang Shoufu. Remember to go to Miss Wang first and let her introduce you."

Big brother means that I want to hint to Wang Shoufu about the relationship between me and simu..... Xu Xinnian said "well", and as soon as he got the secret letter, he saw big brother lift up his sleeve.

"Brother, what are you going to do?"

"Hit you!"

Bang!

Xu Erlang's handsome face was punched and fell down with a scream. Xu Dalang rode up and opened his bow from left to right.

"Brother, don't hit me in the face..." Xu Erlang screamed."If you don't slap your face, how can you show your sacrifice? How can you move Miss Wang. In order to save your father-in-law, you don't hesitate to turn against your elder brother. "

"Well, isn't it a little mean?"

"It's not mean, it's routine. Come on, put yourself in a good position, big brother. Let's punch again. "

......

Jingxiu palace.

There was no reply, only one sentence: I know.

The prince took a look at Lin'an, touched his nose, and said with emotion, "it seems that I can't count on it, but it's true. I'm not an official anymore. I know that I've angered my father and emperor, so I don't want to manage the relationship between my brother and sister."

Lin'an's eyes are red.

Chen Fei frowned and scolded: "it's normal that he doesn't help. If Wei Yuan relies on him again, he can listen to him?"

The prince said helplessly: "I know, but his attitude is not pleasant."

Lin'an lips tight, stuffy way: "I go back to Shaoyin palace."

...

palace.

In the inner hall, the atmosphere was dignified.

Wang simu sat beside Mrs. Wang, chatting softly, trying to ease her mother's anxiety.

The prince of the Wang family, who works in the Department of household affairs, drinks tea without saying a word. The second prince of the Wang family, who is in business, is impatient and turns around in the hall.

"Elder brother, I've heard from friends who are familiar with each other that your majesty is going to wipe out our king's family this time?" Prince Wang said as he walked, in a hurry.

Mrs. Wang was more worried and looked at her eldest son.

Mr. Wang put down his tea cup and said in a calm voice, "there are some troubles. Yuan Xiong and Qin Yuandao have listed a lot of criminal evidence, among which the most troublesome one is embezzlement of military pay.

"I still remember Zhou Xianping, the former Minister of the Ministry of household affairs. He was his father's man, and he did embezzle military salaries. At the time of house hunting, there were only a few thousand taels in the Zhou government. Where's the silver? They say it's in our Wang family. "

"That's bullshit." Mr. Wang was gnashing his teeth.

Prince Wang pinched his eyebrows and sighed a little tired:

"in the past, his father was simply in the emperor's heart, so it was all right. In the case of Chuzhou massacre, his father offended his majesty too hard. This is the end of the problem."

Mrs. Wang said anxiously, "what should we do? What should we do?"

Wang simu quickly comforted his mother and immediately frowned:

"you two should say a few words less. If you can't come up with a solution, don't pour bitter water here. What else can you do besides adding to your mother's worries?"

She then comforted her mother and said in a soft voice, "my father has been the first assistant for more than ten years. He knows what storms he has not seen. This is not in the study with the uncles to discuss it

Mr. Wang looked at his younger sister and shook his head. Although there was a crisis before, it was never as dangerous as this one. Is it the same thing to fight with political enemies or your majesty?

Just then, the housekeeper came to report in a hurry, glanced at all the people in the hall and looked at Wang simu: "Miss, Mr. Xu is outside. I want to see you."

Wang Er Ge sneered and said, "when is the time to have leisure and love?"

Mrs. Wang and Mr. Wang frowned one after another.

Xu Erlang and his daughter are close. They know that Wang simu has a strong personality and is extremely intelligent. No one in the family can control him except Wang Zhenwen.

So I turned a blind eye and let her go.

But now the Wang family is in crisis, and Xu Erlang often comes to the door, which is inexplicably tiresome.

Wang simu tilted his eyes, and Yingying got up and said, "lead him to the outer hall."

She patted the back of her mother's hand and walked straight away through the inner courtyard and the winding corridor. Miss Wang met Xu Erlang in the reception hall.

He sat in a chair, covering his face with his sleeves and dodging.

"What's the matter with Erlang?" Wang simu looked for a while, but he dodged them all.

"No harm..."

Xu Erlang said, "I'm here to give you something."

Said, another finger pointed to the tea table, Wang simu found a pile of letters on the tea table.

Wang simu with curiosity, opened the letter to see a few eyes, delicate body a tremor, beautiful big eyes full of shock.

"Well, where did Erlang get these secret letters from?" She opened her mouth slightly and lost her face.

"From my big brother." Xu Erlang replied.

Where did Xu Qi'an get it? He is Wei Yuan's confidant. How can he help my father?... Wang simu turns his eyes and looks at Xu Erlang's evasive appearance.

His heart sank and he pulled his sleeve open.

"Ah......"

Wang simu exclaimed.

Xu Erlang's face was swollen, his nose was bruised, his lips were broken, and he looked like he had been beaten.

"It's your big brother? Because, because of these secret letters? " Wang simu's lips trembled.

"I fell it myself." Xu Erlang denied it.Wang simu tears "Shua" of gushed out, Pa Pa Pa, broken line pearl like.

"He, he beat you like this..." Miss Wang sobbed.

Big brother's routine really works..... Xu Erlang sighed in his heart and explained: "I really fell it myself."

He did not waste time, said: "these secret letters are given by elder brother, but he has conditions, I need to speak to the chief assistant face to face."

Wang simu took out the brocade handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped away the tears. Looking at Xu Erlang's eyes, he was full of love.

She nodded: "I'll take you there."

...

in the spacious study, sandalwood is curling, Wang Shoufu is holding tea, and he is silent.

Qian Qingshu, the great scholar of Wuying hall, Chen Qi, the great scholar of Jianji hall, and sun Shangshu, the Minister of punishment, all gathered together in a dignified manner.

"See what your majesty means. In a few days, it will be our turn?" Qian Qingshu said in a deep voice.

Chen Qi, the great scholar of Jianji hall, was grumpy. He patted the table and scolded: "the case of Chuzhou slaughtering the city was the case of King Huai's madness. How can we tolerate it? I'm not going to be an official. "

The Minister of the Ministry of official said coldly, "if you become an official, you are not in the heart of Qin."

Wang Shoufu sat on the throne, enjoying the tea and quietly listening to the quarrels among his colleagues. The old man's official career has been ups and downs for half his life, and he has never been in a bad mood.

Seeing the quarrel, Wang Shoufu asked, "what's Wei Yuan's attitude there?"

"I've been shut up." Qian Qingshu is calm.

"No surprise." Wang Shoufu nodded: "Your Majesty also wants to use him. Wei Yuan's role is much stronger than ours."

"Will your majesty tolerate the dominance of his family?" the Minister of the Ministry of official sneered

Wang Shoufu took a sip of tea and said calmly: "many years ago, I thought he was tired of fighting in the court. He wanted to take charge of the army again. If I'm not wrong, the death of King Huai is due to him.

"Sun Shangshu, when you are in charge of the Ministry of punishment, you should keep a good guard. You can't let Dali temple and duchayuan convict you."

Sun Shangshu nodded.

"Xu Shangshu, I know that you support the crown prince and the crown prince. I just take this opportunity to contact other crown prince parties."

The minister nodded.

Then, Wang Shoufu calmed down and looked around the crowd: "it's not bad to be an official. It's better to be in a hurry than to have a miserable ending. In addition, when you become an official, you can recover. A gentleman should learn to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages. When you retire, you will retire. "

At this time, the knock came, and Wang simu's soft and sweet voice rang out: "Dad, my daughter has something to ask for."

PS: I'm back. Let's continue to the next chapter. This chapter is half of the mobile phone code. There may be too many wrong words. Help to catch insects.
