Soon after, in the front court part of the imperial city, Danfengmen Street ran through the central axis, and in the Shangshu Province, the head of the hundreds of official offices; a long-browed, solemn and upright minister, wearing a purple tortoise bag, was listening. After Yu Cong finished his report, he gently raised his slender eyebrows and asked:
"Li Yong, are you sure that's what he said? The events at this time are actually serious, and I have to act with caution."
"Hui Pu She, it's absolutely true, word for word!" Yu Cong, who has a pure face and gentle temperament, is also categorical: "According to Jian Zheng's speculation, there is a high chance that the night wandering god was attracted by these aliens who sneaked into the forbidden garden. Come on, it’s just that more accidents happened later.”
"Do you know what you are talking about? Once this conjecture is confirmed, it will cause an uproar in the court." But Ziyi Pushe shook his head and sighed: "Don't say you can't bear it, even I can't be alone. Yes! After all, it was me who signed and sealed the document."
"Of course I understand, but there is also a reason why I have to do something." However, Yu Cong was not afraid, but said more firmly: "What's more, Jian Zheng has taken the initiative to take over most of the relationships, and I can't do anything." You are passing on the message and adhering to it on behalf of others, so how can you dare to be timid?"
"Since those people with evil intentions can secretly plot Chencang in the Forbidden Garden again, and even be involved in the attack on His Royal Highness, then next time, wouldn't they be able to endanger the imperial city. The major interests involved are Pu She. How could you not understand?"
"It's a courtesy! It's a courtesy..." However, Ziyi Pushe did not answer. He just looked at him intently for a moment, then suddenly showed a smile and said: "You are indeed the talent I value, and you are not worthy of giving up Dongge." With a great future ahead of me, I decided to transfer to the Anbu Division with my true intention."
"I've given you a lot of praise, my servant... Your servant, I just feel the matter and talk about it honestly; I have no other long-term concerns." However, Yu Cong was slightly stunned, and then he bowed with a flattered expression on his face and said: "If you still If you have any shortcomings, please ask me to correct you and teach you..."
"No, no, you did a good job, really good." However, the purple-clothed servant became more and more pleasant and smiled happily: "Liyong thought that why we tried to help you transfer to the secret service department? Could it be that? Just to supervise Supervisor Jiang who has an extraordinary background?"
"If you take this as your duty, then I will be slightly disappointed." Then the purple-clothed servant said on his own: "Or in other words, with the methods and abilities shown by the supervisor, if you want to go beyond Do you think you can stop me from doing anything?"
"After all, the court is about to make full use of his abilities. Therefore, as a deputy, the only way to stay in the position of corpse is to be solid. However, consciously accepting orders, targeting everything and trying to control everything, is also a way to bring disaster. You must have understood the truth to some extent, which is why we are in the current situation;"
"For a person like him who has special causes and great opportunities, the only long-term solution is to treat him with your heart." Then, he waved his hand to stop Yu Cong who was about to speak and said: "As long as we can cooperate, Only when you are safe and can argue with reason can you win people's trust and influence them subtly."
"Pu She misunderstood, the student didn't mean that." Yu Cong still couldn't help but defend: "The student... just thinks that this official is upright, not as unscrupulous or arrogant as the rumors say; more Seeing that he is just a straightforward person who upholds humanity and hates evil as much as he hates it."
"That's right, others want to gain recognition and praise from this person," Ziyi Pushe said with an increasingly satisfied smile: "By the way, since he is so important and serious about escorting Li Yong all the way back, then Li Yong Have you ever seen anything unusual?"
"This... I didn't encounter any obstacles." Yu Cong couldn't help but hesitated for a moment, and then said: "However, the guards nearby seem to have detected some suspected snooping and following behavior."
"Snooping? That's basically right." Ziyi Pushe said with an understatement: "After all, there are many mysteries about this person, and they are often involved in huge right and wrong and cause and effect; therefore, whenever he makes the slightest rash move, secretly Why stop a few groups of snoopers?"
"However, you can reply to him, and there is no need to be so cautious; after all, it is close to the inside of the country; and it is in broad daylight in full view of the public, so there are not so many opportunities for people to take risks..."
While they were talking, a wooden sign saying "closed doors and thanking guests" was hung outside, but it was gently shaken by someone. Then someone reported softly: "Pu She, the right counselor of the General Affairs Department and Taizhong doctor, Lian Gongzhi, handed over the card to ask for an audience." However, Pu She smiled at Cong and said, "No, right and wrong are here."
After a while, a middle-aged courtier wearing a light purple robe, a gold hoop, and a goldfish bag hanging on his waist, who looked rich, dignified, and gentle was ushered in. Then he crossed his hands and saluted to the purple-clothed servant, and then greeted him quite familiarly: "Mr. Yutai, I want to ask you for a favor."
"...To be honest, I didn't expect you to be the first to come!" However, Ziyi Pushe smiled and shook his head: "The news from you spread so fast! Our hall I was informed just now, and you are here right after."
"It's helpless. It's all for the safety of the Tian family. It's really hard to shirk it!" Lian Gongzhi, the Zuo counselor, replied with a pointed smile: "So I am also entrusted by others. I want to Let me ask Mr. Yutai, to what extent does Mr. Yutai, or Shangshu Sheng, plan to hold him accountable for this matter?"
"Justice, you should know that when we act between the inner and outer dynasties, we have always been impartial and impartial." Ziyi Pushe restrained his smile and said, "But this time, it is the inner dynasty or the Tian family. Among them, some people have gone too far, and I can no longer sit idly by and ignore them."
"Please Mr. Yutai think twice. The harmony and stability that has been maintained between the internal and external affairs for many years is indeed not easy." Right Councilor Lian Gongzhi persuaded with a wry smile: "Nowadays, there are so many disputes about right and wrong in the world. From what I see, it is really not appropriate to be here." A great prison has arisen, involving both internal and external parties!"
"Gongzhi, you are wrong. It is precisely because of the turmoil that we have to cut through the chaos quickly so that we can settle the dispute as soon as possible!" Purple-clothed Pushe waved his tail again and said: "After all, you are following the lineage of Duke Wen Zhong (Yan Zhenqing) , has always focused on harmonizing internal and external affairs and balancing the government and opposition parties.”
"But what I pursue is the lineage of Zhongjie Gong (Yan Gaoqing) and Zhang Suiyang (Zhang Xun). I pay attention to fairness, uprightness, and uprightness. No matter whether it is the great lords of the past dynasties or the three families who support the government, only Be fair and impartial according to the law. After all, we are not destined to the same destination through different paths."
"What's more, the cause and effect involved in this matter are too great. Even if you all want to settle the matter and reconcile the past in private, you still have to ask the Supreme Being in the palace, or the three supporting families, or even those in the government and the opposition. Those who have heard the trend, will you agree or not?”
"Fairness, for the sake of our relationship for many years, please listen to what I have to say." At this point, Ziyi Pushe persuaded the other party in turn: "The Empress Dowager Yao and Shun used the excuse of the Jingzhao family to support the government. The three families have suppressed the family for several generations, but she is no longer there, and no one can suppress her anymore."
"After all, the princes swore before the death of Empress Dowager Yao and Shun that they would ensure that the bloodline of the Tian family would always be in high position and rule! But it was not a hidden evil that made people do anything for it; for all matters involving the Tian family, They are all tabooed by His Holiness!”
"If you are worried that this matter will turn into a big disturbance in the court, then please send a message to everyone behind you; just say that you can help us as much as possible to find out the root cause of it quickly. Naturally, you can use this issue before others use it. Minimize the impact of the incident."
Soon after, the right councilor Lian Gongzhi said goodbye and went to an unknown small pavilion in the front court. He sighed to the people who had been waiting here: "The negotiations failed. Nan Pushe of Shangshu Province, We are already determined to push for a court meeting to thoroughly investigate this matter.”
"Yuchen," he then turned to the youngest among them and said, "please reply to Luo Damiao for me. There is nothing we can do about this matter. Please let them take care of themselves and separate themselves as soon as possible." Does it matter?"
And when the young man took the order and left, Lian Zhizhi said in a straight and quiet voice: "Everyone, I intend to participate in promoting the corresponding court meeting in the name of the Secretary of General Affairs;". As expected, the rest of the people screamed in shock: "Lian Zuo Shen, are you trying to make peace again?"
"Of course I want to control the situation and prevent it from getting out of hand, so I have to personally participate in it." Lian Gongzhi said without hesitation: "Otherwise, do you want to give up the opportunity to investigate this matter to the court? Are they among those speculators who are bent on getting ahead in this way?"
"Goodbye, Lian Zuo Shen!" Everyone couldn't help but exclaimed: However, after everyone else left one after another, Lian Gongzhi secretly sighed. In fact, he also had selfish motives for dealing with this matter; because his ancestor, Lian Wansheng, was one of the thirty-six generals who participated in the battle to defend Suiyang.
Together with Nan Jiyun, the ancestor of Nanpuse in Shangshu Province, he served under the famous Zhang Suiyang (Zhang Xun). Later, Zhang Suiyang was ordered to enter Luo to rectify the various officers and soldiers; as a result, the thirty-six generals under his command each had their own future and opportunities, and since then they have formed a political force that has been connected for generations.
Then, during the long period of support of Empress Dowager Ruizhen of the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, together with the many disciples and relatives who served the country after the death of Duke Zhongjie (Yan Gaoqing) and Duke Wenzhong (Yan Zhenqing), they were strongly supported and became the guardian of the country. The backbone of the Tian family and an important court faction.
However, after the death of Yao and Shun, a particularly long-lived female middle school student, the relative positions of these large and small factions gathered around the imperial power also began to diverge. This gave rise to the Zhongyun/Pragmatic School, led by Nan Pushe, who claimed to be upright and only talk about things but not people.
The Conciliation Faction, to which Lian Gongzhi belonged, was also called the Balance Faction; they advocated trying their best to maintain a relative balance of power and balance between the internal and external dynasties. Only in this way can we not only stabilize peace, but also create more opportunities for talents from poor families to make progress and serve the country.
However, the series of events and developments taking place today are no longer something they, the conciliators who advocate balance of power, can understand and grasp.
