Chapter 074: Jingzhao (Monthly Pass 150+)
(The second update!Thank you!Haha,The monthly pass is over,Sprinkle flowers~Please continue!)
At this moment, Pei Ding was in Jingzhao Taishi Tower, listening to his nephew Pei Qian talk about Jingzhao's situation.
Pei Qian's appearance is most similar to his grandfather Pei Guang, his phoenix eyes are slightly raised, and he has an indescribable romantic will, but it is a pity that most of the time he is expressionless, and he is not close to him.
After three years, the uncle and nephew gathered again in Taishilou, and they were quite emotional in each other's hearts.
Pei Ding thought to himself: Xiao Qian'er is getting more and more paralyzed, no wonder he has the nickname "Leng Langjun", Xiao Qian'er is obviously very warm......
In Pei Qian's opinion, the fifth uncle's face was paler than before, and he still looked sick and weak. No wonder my grandmother didn't mention the fifth uncle's family affairs, so it was better to lose her energy.
Pei Dingluo smiled and said, "What did you say about me in your heart? It seems that you are quite idle, and you will copy "Emperor Jian" again in the evening. Now let's talk about the situation in Jingzhao. ”
Pei Qian's face remained unchanged, and he thought silently in his heart: Fifth uncle, in fact, I am not idle at all, I didn't say anything in my heart just now, don't I ask "Emperor Jian" not to copy it?
However, he replied: "My nephew knows, and I will copy it for the fifth uncle to see." With the resignation of Qian Guan and the departure of Empress Qian from the cold palace, the situation in Jingzhao was a little blurred, and the emperor did not make any moves......"
Pei Qian was in Jingzhao, ostensibly to come to Jingzhao Guozijian to study and show off his skills, but in fact, it was to collect news from Jingzhao.
The national capital is too important, and there must always be an important Pei family to guard it.
But this time, Pei Qian didn't expect that the fifth uncle would come to Jingzhao in person. Meet Pei Ding. He immediately realized that the meaning of Qian Guan's resignation was not as simple as he thought.
Qian Guan had left Jingzhao with his family, and heard that he had returned to Yingzhou, the ancestral land of Shandong Province.
But. His departure did not calm the fluctuations of Jingzhao, but made the court officials even more uneasy, and no one dared to compete for the position of the head of the household department for a while.
The household department that has been controlled by Qian Guan for so long, no one knows how deep the water is now. Money and silver are a big thing, and officials who don't have considerable skills really don't dare to take it.
Pei Ding continued to ask: "Why did Qian Guan suddenly resign? This matter is related to Queen Qian?"
The nephew thought it was. As soon as Qian Guan handed over his resignation, the emperor ordered Queen Qian to be released from the cold palace. The news from the palace is. Qian Guan's wife, Huang, once went to the palace to see Queen Qian, but no one knew what she said. Pei Qian replied in detail.
Queen Qian has entered the cold palace. The Huang family can still see her, presumably with the emperor's permission.
It's strange, why did the emperor let the Huang family enter the palace? What did the Huang family say to Empress Qian? What was the reason why Qian Guan resigned from the government to protect Empress Qian?
Pei Qian just said a few words. There is no shortage of fog at all. Pei Ding's face gradually became solemn.
Pei Qian still talked about Jingzhao's situation: "The people who were good friends with the Qian family before have left Jingzhao one after another. This time, no one knew the news of the Qian family. However, the nephew heard a rumor that all this was related to the Empress Dowager Li Ping. ”
Is it related to the Empress Dowager Li Ping again? Empress Dowager Li Ping has been in Bintian for more than three years, how can it still be related to her?
It turned out that it was related to something left by the Empress Dowager Li Ping.
There have long been rumors in the Great Xuan Dynasty that the Empress Dowager Dao Liping has a powerful secret guard in her hands. The number of this secret guard is unknown, but it is known that he has made miraculous contributions to the Empress Dowager Li Ping, and the four kings of Zhu and Pingnan have their figures.
After Li Ping, the Empress Dowager Bintian. The guard vanished. But half a year ago, Jingzhao appeared traces of suspected secret guards. So many things have been caused one after another.
Half a year ago...... The Meng family was destroyed, Ji Yong was hunted down, and then Ye Yong entered Hedong, and later Qian Guan resigned and Queen Qian came out of the cold palace.
Pei Ding couldn't help but sneer: "A secret guard has such power?"
Pei Qian nodded and said that it should be like this. After analyzing it with his family counselors, he came up with this answer.
Therefore, Hongzhuti appeared in Hedong, and the emperor's favorite concubine went to Hedong.
Pei Ding's voice condensed slightly: "It's just a secret guard, and it has brought out so much wind and rain." Even if the Empress Dowager Li Ping has this secret guard in her hands, there are not many people left by now. ”
Although he didn't see the scene of the Empress Dowager Li Ping's death and Pingnan's invasion with his own eyes, he knew very well how tragic it was.
To make an immortal achievement, you must pay an extremely heavy price. In Pei Ding's opinion, the Empress Dowager Li Ping, the secret guard should also be gone.
However, now this secret guard has appeared, causing turmoil.
No matter how you think about it, you feel that there is a lot of fog, covering the situation of Daxuan, and Pei Ding can't judge now.
Pei Qian remembered something and continued: "Everyone knows that Empress Dowager Li Ping and Empress Qian have a deep relationship, which is deeper than the relationship with the emperor. The nephew thought, Queen Qian's exit from the cold palace is not a bait?"
Yes, this is possible. It's just that who is this bait for? Empress Dowager Liping's secret guard, perhaps, ...... Wei Junxiang?
I don't know now!
"So what is the situation of Empress Qian in the palace? After Concubine Shun came back from Hedong, what happened?" Pei Ding asked about the situation in the palace.
Pei Qian was a little surprised. The fifth uncle asked about Queen Qian, why did he ask about Concubine Shun?
This is not like the style of the fifth uncle......
But he still immediately replied: "Although Queen Qian has returned to Kunning Palace, it is still Concubine He De who is in charge of the harem. Concubine Shun heard that she was seriously ill and somehow fell out of favor. Now the Wei family is very anxious and keeps trying to find ways to help her regain her favor. ”
How did he know that the reason why Pei Ding asked was just because he thought of Zheng Heng? Zheng Heng set up a bureau for Yingyan Courtyard, and it always had to be finished in the end.
At this end, Pei Ding expressed a little satisfaction.
The sound of intermittent conversation continued to sound in the room, and Pei Ding's uncle and nephew's questions and answers slowly spread out the situation in Jingzhao.
In the end, the uncle and nephew were silent. Even after saying so much, Jingzhao's situation is still not clear.
The sage said, "Governing a big country is like cooking a small meal", but for ordinary people, how can the situation of a big country be regarded as a dish?
After half a ring, Pei mentioned Han Xichang and said, "Fifth uncle, Lord Han plans to send his head early." Since you're here, you can go and see him. ”
Pei Ding agreed, and immediately sent an invitation post to Han Xichang, inviting him to come to Taishilou for a banquet.
Han Xi is often a native of Jinzhou, Hedong, and Pei Ding can be regarded as fellow villagers. Moreover, Pei Ding's teacher, the great Confucian Wang Mo, had often had the grace of knowing Han Xi, and Han Xi often gladly responded to Pei Ding's invitation.
In the Taishi Building, Han Xichang had already poured a lot of wine, and his words were continuous, and he could hear that he was in a very depressed mood.
He is still the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. For ordinary people, this official position is like green smoke from the ancestral tomb, but for him, it is not so.
He is a person who strongly advocates the pro-government of the Supreme Emperor, and in the early years, only the emperor valued him, but it was also a few years earlier.
In the past few years, the Ye family, the Wang family and the Xie family have gradually become important, and Ye Xian, Wang Yuanfeng and Xie Huishi have controlled the three central provinces and have become the courtiers valued by Emperor Zhiyou.
In comparison, Han Xi often received much less imperial grace. Emperor Zhiyou has been in power for four or five years, and Han Xi is often still the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
If it doesn't rise, it falls, and this has explained a lot of meaning. No wonder Han Xi is often depressed.
After listening to Han Xi's bitter words, Pei Ding said: "In this case, Lord Han might as well be able to do it as soon as possible." ”
"yes, that's what I thought too. It's just a person, he will always love the position of power, and he is reluctant to take a step back, a person like Qian Guan is too few after all......" Han Xi often sighed, and took a glass of wine again.
Hearing Han Xi often mention Qian Guan, Pei Ding just raised his glass and didn't answer.
Han Xi often drank too much, burped, and said, "Why do you want to resign from the official position? ”
This time, Pei Ding smiled and replied, "I want to hear about it." (To be continued.) )
