In Taiyue City, the peace of the past has changed. General Wei Beichen of the auxiliary country recalled one hundred thousand forbidden troops and distributed them at the four gates of the capital. He himself sat in the center and was ready.
The third prince Baili Shuze and the eldest princess Baili Haoyue entered Taiyue City yesterday. However, it is said that they never came out after entering the palace. No one knows any information.
.qqxsnew Within the cabinet, Assistant Prime Minister He Lanyi was detained by people led by Zhang Mo and was not allowed to enter or exit the cabinet office.
The eunuchs in the palace were responsible for the presentation and return of memorials by civil and military officials, and the ministers were not allowed to say a word. Zhang Mo moved a stool and sat outside the cabinet door, not allowing anyone to take a step.
Even Left Prime Minister Zhou Qing and Ya Xiang Zuo Fengyuan were also turned away. At the door of the cabinet, Zhou Qing said angrily: "What are you doing? Don't we need to take care of this great country?" Zhang Mo said with a smile but not a smile: "I don't understand what Mr. Zhou Ge said. , My great dynasty is all in the palm of your Majesty the Master. Who should do what and what should not be done is all decided by His Majesty. Mr. Zhou, don’t you want to resist the decree?"
"How dare I resist the decree? Since Your Majesty doesn't need me and other ministers, I will go back and write my resignation and return to my hometown!" Zhou Qing was speechless, snorted coldly, and left with a puff of sleeves.
Zhang Mo saw Zuo Fengyuan again and said with a smile: "Mr. Zuo Ge, His Majesty said that you are a veteran of three dynasties and you are already very old. You can just rest at home these days. After a while, you will come out to worry about it." It's state affairs!" Zuo Fengyuan nodded when he heard this, suddenly wanted to understand something, and then left in a hurry, ignoring the shouts of the officials.
Zhang Mo watched the two prime ministers leave. The remaining people did not dare to do anything out of the ordinary, so he said to them: "My lords, things should still be done as usual, and jobs should be paid as usual. All your discounts will be handed over to our family. , we will hand it to the Prime Minister for your approval." The two prime ministers didn't say anything, and other officials had no choice but to do as they were told and gave the notes to the young eunuch one after another.
Zhang Mo said with a smile: "That's right! As long as you obey the orders well, His Majesty will remember your loyalty!" Among the crowd, Zhu Wanquan, the newly promoted minister of the Ministry of Personnel and Yin of Taiyue Prefecture, wiped his sweat and narrowed his eyes. He made a slit, put away the memorial he had just prepared, turned around and left.
After leaving the palace gate and getting into the car, the attendant asked: "Master, why are you back so early today? I handed you the fold."
"No need," Zhu Wanquan said, "Is it easy to be an official every day? Otherwise, if something happens, it will be earth-shattering. Go back and write a confession about the illness. I don't want to wade through muddy waters again. "...In the Sixth Prince's Mansion, Baili Hanran and Baili Xiyu were sitting opposite each other, drinking and feasting.
Baili Hanran smiled and said: "Brother Emperor, I'm afraid there won't be such delicious food in front of these two armies, right?"
"This is natural," Baili Xi said: "As a general, you must eat and sleep with the soldiers. I treat the soldiers with sincerity and serve with loyalty. Only in this way can we lead an invincible and victorious army!" Hearing this, Baili Hanran shook his head and said with a smile: "What the emperor said is something that great generals should learn from. But how can the emperor remain a general for a long time without being a commander?" Baili Xi said: "To rule all directions." , I am not as good as the eldest brother in running the government. I am not as good as the second brother in strategizing and making clever plans. I am not as good as the third brother in reciting poems and composing poems, being unrestrained and romantic. I am not as good as you, the sixth brother, in caring about the city and treating people."
"But you are upright, courageous, brave and good at fighting. Even our brothers can't keep up with you, the emperor!" The two looked at each other and smiled. At this time, Gu Shuci, the case officer of the Ministry of War who had been transferred back to Taiyue City by He Lanyi, walked in. , his face was a little heavy and he said: "Something happened!"
"Oh, just tell me what happened," Baili Hanran frowned, and seeing Gu Shuci hesitated to speak, he said, "Brother Huang is not an outsider, but a general in the court. If you have anything to say, just say it. "
"Yes." Afterwards, Gu Shuci told the two princes what happened in the cabinet today. Baili Xi said: "What is your father doing? Cutting off all contacts between the cabinet and officials, and leaving the Prime Minister alone in the cabinet. Why?" Baili Hanran thought for a moment, and roughly understood Baili Longteng. With his thoughts in mind, he said: "I think it is some insignificant matters of the imperial court. We don't need to pay attention to it. We just drink."
"Sixth brother's words are wrong," Baili Xiyu waved his hand and said: "Although I have been absent from the court for a long time, I heard that sixth brother was ordered to supervise the country. If such a big thing happens, you should intervene. I think That's it for this banquet!" After saying that, Baili Xiyu stood up, said goodbye to Baili Hanran, and left in a hurry.
Baili Hanran sat at the wine table, smiled coldly, and said: "Who said that the fourth prince of Daqian is only as brave as an ordinary man, but today it seems that he is also a good man who can adapt to the changing circumstances!" Gu Shuci said anxiously at the side :"what should we do?"
"What should I do?" Baili Hanran smiled and waved his hand, saying: "Anyway, you don't need to worry about government affairs these days, so you can just go and hang out with your friends in the Imperial College."
"This..." Seeing that Baili Hanran didn't look anxious at all, Gu Shuci had no choice but to salute and leave, and left the house.
After Gu Shu resigned, a man in black robe appeared behind Baili Hanran and said to Baili Hanran: "The Battle of Qishan is over. It seems that Ye Ling has successfully told Xu Zheng about the death of the prince. Xu Zheng The army is coming towards Taiyue City."
"That makes sense," Baili Hanran nodded repeatedly and said, "Trapped the assistant minister in the cabinet will cut off my connection with the government. I have no other party members, so there is nothing to fear. When Xu Zheng's army comes to the city , they wanted to send the Liang family out to pay the penalty, and watch Liang Jingyi and Xu Zheng fight with each other. Baili Longteng is really good at planning!" The man in black robe asked: "What should I do?"
"Add enough drama to this good show to make it more enjoyable. After all, it is to be performed for everyone in the sky and the world to watch!" Baili Hanran stood up and said to the black-robed man: "Immediately summon all the people in the underworld in Taiyue City. No matter who it is, come to me!"
"Yes!" The man in black robe took the order and disappeared. Baili Hanran walked to the door of the lobby, looked at the half-clear and half-cloudy sky, and said with a smile: "It's really exciting!"... In the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, Song Zheng sat cross-legged and closed his eyes silently. Since Li Taiyue and Gu After Ting Lan was taken out of the prison, he kept sitting like this without saying a word, perhaps waiting for the torture knife to kill him.
But the torture knife didn't come, but an old man did. Zuo Fengyuan stood at the door of the cell and said to Song Zheng: "Sir Song, do you still remember what I said to you?" Song Zheng suddenly opened his eyes and was really surprised to see Zuo Fengyuan.
But Zuo Fengyuan still continued: "Now the court is almost in chaos, but you are enjoying peace here."
"Song Zheng doesn't understand what Mr. Zuo Ge said." An awe-inspiring aura burst out from Zuo Fengyuan's palm, and then the cell door was broken open: "Follow me!" Song Zheng was startled and asked: "Where are you going? Where?"
"Go and protect the foundation of my country!"
"Da Qian Guo Ben" Song Zheng didn't know why, but he still followed Zuo Fengyuan out. Along the way, some people from the Ministry of Justice wanted to come forward and ask questions, but they were all stared back by Zuo Fengyuan. This roly-poly man who had always been amiable in official circles suddenly acted like a powerful official today, which was really incredible.
After leaving the prison, Ji Changfeng, whose injuries were mostly healed, walked by, saluted Song Zheng and gave him some clothes.
Song Zheng hummed in confusion: "Changfeng, why are you here?" Ji Changfeng said: "I am just afraid that someone will harm you, so I have been waiting outside this prison. It was Master Yaxiang who asked me to prepare something for the old man. Clothes." Song Zheng glanced at Zuo Fengyuan.
But Zuo Fengyuan said with a smile: "Master Song, this life is enough to have such a good friend who shares weal and woe and is inseparable in life and death!" Song Zheng nodded, and couldn't help but cheerfully said: "What Master Yaxiang said is absolutely true!" After Song Zheng changed his clothes, Zuo Fengyuan took the two of them to another place that was puzzling to them: Taiyue Mansion.
Zuo Fengyuan's body was filled with awe-inspiring aura. He opened the door in front of him from left to right and walked straight inside.
Under the tree in the backyard, Zhu Wanquan lay shirtless on a rocking chair to enjoy the cool air, holding a big cattail leaf fan in his hand, snoring loudly, as if he was sleeping soundly.
Unexpectedly, Zuo Fengyuan stood on the steps and sneered: "It's a shame that you, Zhu Wanquan, can still sleep after such a big commotion. It's said that you don't tell lies in front of real people, how long can you keep pretending?" Then Zhu Wanquan Hearing this, his snoring suddenly stopped, he jumped up, and said in a hateful voice: "You Zuo Fengyuan will die when you have had enough. I am just a foreign official in Beijing. I have no party, no faction, no involvement, why are you?" You want to drag me along with you." Zuo Fengyuan said: "Whether you are going to die or not is still unknown. Taiyue Fuyin's seal can mobilize the power of the imperial city. With you here, I can have more insurance. If you If you don’t go, I will kill you now to get rid of future troubles!”
"Go, go, go, I'll go wherever you say!" Zhu Wanquan nodded quickly, not daring to object in the slightest, and said: "The first level of an official high school is crushing to death, not to mention you are so many levels older than me, I'll put it on Just take the clothes and leave.”
"Okay, we'll wait for you in the hall!" Seeing Zuo Fengyuan, Song Zheng and others leaving, Zhu Wanquan shook his head and sighed: "I just said that this Taiyue City is a place of right and wrong, and it is impossible to sleep peacefully. Zuo Fengyuan, the world has misjudged you. How can you have both sides? You are simply a minister who protects the country. If all the officials in the country were like you, I would be able to sleep peacefully all day long!"... ...In the Grand Master's Mansion - Liang Jingyi was lying on a rocking chair, listening to Zhou Qing's complaints. After Zhou Qing finished speaking, Liang Jingfang opened his eyes and said, "If I weren't here, you wouldn't even be able to serve in the cabinet." You can't even get in through the gate." Zhou Qing heard this, his face was a little embarrassed, but he still said: "What does this sage want to do? Is he really bent on cultivating mysticism and completely giving up on the country?"
"Without this great power, his cultivation would not be successful," Liang Jingyi slowly stood up and said, "I have long expected that such a day would come. Do you still remember the Meng family back then?"
"Meng Guang!" Zhou Qing blurted out: "My teacher means that the Holy One wants to..."
"Sooner or later, there will be such a day," Liang Jingyi said slowly: "If my Liang family goes further, it will be the seat in the Yuxi Palace. The Holy Spirit has no reward, only punishment. Thunder, rain, and dew are all from heaven. Yes!" Zhou Qing gritted his teeth and said, "We did so many shameful things to him, how dare he..."
"He is finally taking the last step," Liang Jingyi straightened up slightly and said, "As long as he takes both feet, everything in this world will not matter, and everyone in the world will know what he has done. So what can happen? People will only remember the moment when he broke through the world and ascended!" Zhou Qing sat down, a little shocked, then he clenched his fists and said: "Could it be that... we just sit back and wait to die?"
"Of course it's impossible to sit back and wait for death," Liang Jingyi said coldly: "My Liang family is not the Meng family. I have never put all my treasure on the game of Da Gan. I, Liang Jingyi, am not the pedantic Meng Guang. Since sooner or later I will If we break up, I can only strike first!"
