When Xuanyuan Ling Heng returned to Beijing, he was still trying his best to find Hua Langying. But rumors have begun to circulate in the palace and outside the palace that Concubine De has become a fox. There is also a story that is similar to Wei Wuji's version as soon as it is derived in the market, and it is too late to ban it. People have a curiosity mentality, and they are pushed by people with intentions, and in the end, they are vividly transmitted.

Although the ministers believe that the prince is silent and confused, everyone has psychologically accepted the matter of Concubine De becoming a fox.

The Hua family has stated that Concubine De should not be the real daughter of the Hua family, because the daughter in their impression is not as talented and intelligent as Concubine De. In the past, it was inconvenient inside and outside the palace, and it was too suspicious to think of it. Now that all the doubts are reasonable, it may be that the real Hua family girl has long been replaced.

These news gave Xuanyuan Ling Heng a headache.

Song Yi targeted several groups of people who left the palace at sensitive times, and the focus was on the group of florists of the Yang family. But Yang Qian didn't slip his hands, and he didn't leave a flaw at all. Even the characters and appearances in and out of the palace are matched. Song Yi also asked the gatekeeper to recognize the people, all of them were right, and he also angered the Yang family about this matter.

Xuanyuan Ling Heng also knew that the only friendship between Hua Rongying and the Yang family was the thrush, and if Hua Rongying was going to escape by herself, she had no reason to find Yang Qian. Obviously, the friendship of Jingyun Villa is the best with her. Even the relationship between the Xie family and the Hua family is better than that of the Yang family.

He couldn't figure it out, but as time went by, he secretly sent a lot of people to look for it, but there was no clue. It was as if she had vanished into thin air. He also sent people to spy on Lei Lei and the Hua family, but to no avail.

Xuanyuan Ling Heng's anger also needed to be vented, and he demoted Hua Jinshan to a seventh-rank official at once, and his brother Hua Ting did not move him because of his military merits. The Hua family has a concubine who favors the harem, and I originally felt that now was the time to show my ambitions, and I didn't want to be a daughter, and I was a daughter when I was defeated.

After Xuanyuan Lingheng dealt with the political affairs of the court, and summoned the Lei brothers and sisters to interrogate, Lei'er was really annoyed, she felt that she was actually the object of the emperor's suspicion.

Lei'er said: "Your Majesty, I really haven't found any news. Assuming that Concubine De was not taken away by the enemy, who has the ability and motive? Maybe she has come from the sect? It is also possible to take her back to be the head of the sect. ”

"Master?" Xuanyuan Ling Heng's face was complicated, "What kind of sect is she, do you know?" Xuanyuan Lingheng had heard that she had been taught to read a lot since she was a child, but she really didn't think about the sect.

Lei'er said: "Master Concubine De passed on her three thousand volumes of treasure books, and she can remember them with a clear sense of me, and she has a thorough understanding of medical skills and martial arts. Even in the rivers and lakes, it is difficult for a first-class famous family to have this background, is her master just a figure who does not enter the stream? Such a background must be passed down for a hundred years, although Concubine De does not know martial arts, but no one is better than her in other aspects, so she should not be in charge, and it is still possible to be the first elder. ”

Xuanyuan Ling Hengfeng's eyes narrowed and asked, "Do you know anything?"

Lei'er hurriedly knelt down on one knee: "The courtiers don't know that the courtiers used to have a very good relationship with Concubine De, because instead of believing that she had been victimized by adulterers, the courtiers would rather have a beautiful hope like this, and wish her to be alive, safe and happy." ”

Xuanyuan Ling Heng said, "Have you heard of what kind of person her master is?"

Lei'er thought that she had indeed said her master, albeit vaguely, and it didn't hurt to tell the emperor just what she knew. If she didn't want her to say it, she wouldn't have gone away by herself, she would definitely have thought that the emperor would interrogate her. And she hadn't heard of her teacher, and she told the emperor, what could the emperor find out?

"I once heard that her master was a supreme master, but when I met her, the time was approaching. Her master is not a monk or a Taoist, the Buddhist family name is 'Colorless', the Taoist name is 'Taixuzi', and the common family name is 'Huang'. ”

Although Xie Zhixiao, who was guarding the side, was worried, he couldn't help but smile bitterly at this time: "Colorless, Zixu, surnamed Huang." Are you sure that's the case?"

Lei Zhao said: "Colorless, there is no such thing; too void, too void, too void, nothing; the surname is Huang, it is yellow." Sister, it seems that Concubine De also lied to you. ”

Lei'er: "She even lied to me?"

Xie Zhixiao said: "Concubine De may not be deliberately deceiving you, there are many people on the rivers and lakes who do not want to reveal their identities." ”

"If she says she can't tell me, I won't force her," she said. ”

Xie Zhixiao thought to himself: That little naughty boy is just a joke for a while, she wants to be able to taste it after Miss Lei'er's intelligence.

The men present were not like Lei'er who really got the peerless treasure passed on to her by Hua Langying, and of course believed in her more.

Xuanyuan Ling Heng saw that Lei'er said that he didn't say it, he still didn't have a clue, this person is vast, even if he sends all the people around him to find it, he may not be able to find it. But how could he send his subordinates to find him a concubine with great fanfare, this spread among the people, how is he different from Shangxuan?

……

Out of the palace, Lei'er got on the horse with her eldest brother and said, "Big brother, I want to go back to Jingyun Villa." ”

The Lei family has been sealed, and Lei Zhao also has to take the actual position of a guard with a knife in front of the emperor, and he must not leave Zhongdu at this time, and his wife and child will enter Beijing instead.

Lei Zhao said: "The emperor ordered you to find the whereabouts of Concubine De, and if you want to go back to Jingyun Villa, the emperor is afraid that he will not agree." ”

Lei'er said: "Don't hide it from the eldest brother, I want to retreat and practice martial arts, so as to wait for the next Changbai Mountain sword discussion." There are all kinds of things in the capital, and I can't meditate. ”

Lei Zhaoqi said: "Do you still have the ambition to win the championship among the young generation when you are discussing the sword in Changbai Mountain?"

Lei'er said, "Why not?"

Lei Zhao persuaded: "Sima Rong is sincere to you, and you are not small......

Lei'er likes Sima Rong in her heart, but she also has her own pursuits in addition to marriage.

"If you get married, you have to have children, and if you can't improve your martial arts in a few years, it's not bad if you don't regress. ”

"Is martial arts more important than a confidant and a child of one's own?" The Sima family and the Lei family are also well-matched, and Sima Rong is also an outstanding figure in the young generation, and the most important thing is that he keeps his promise but is not pedantic.

"You won't understand! Big brother is also a man, he doesn't have this trouble, and he doesn't have a backache when he stands and talks!"

……

Wei Wuji rushed back to the camp of the Northern Army, and at this time, Dingguo Gong had already returned to the camp from the paddock, and he also knew that he had left the camp, and he was not without anger in his heart.

On this day, when the father and son of the Wei family were hunting on horseback outside the camp, Wei Wuji persuaded his father to give up his military power and use himself as his own, and Dingguo Gong naturally disagreed.

Wei Wuji suggested that the three caves of the cunning rabbit and the migratory tribesmen should leave a way back in secret, which made Dingguo Gong think deeply for a while.

Ding Guogong asked, "Do you know anything?"

Wei Wuji said: "Father, our Wei clan has been inherited for two hundred years since the Sui Dynasty, and we have come to this dynasty to worship the marquis. At the time of the founding of the country, he was the first of the four pillar generals. Now looking at the court, the Wang family, the Li family, and even the Xie family have gradually changed their courts, and my Wei family is alone in the forest, I am afraid it will be difficult to support, but the lives of thousands of children of my Wei family are not guaranteed. ”

Dingguo is fair: "Are you willing to let my Wei family become the cats and dogs of the Xuanyuan family?"

Wei Wuji said, "Then can you still bring the Son of Heaven to order the princes?"

“……”

"A thousand years ago and a thousand years later, fortune was different. ”

Dingguo is fair: "At this time, we want to retreat, will the emperor give us a way out?"

Wei Wuji said: "Of course it is not possible to retreat all immediately, but it is not impossible to retreat step by step before the emperor makes a move." You asked the third and fourth uncles to arrange for ordinary people from the distant tribes to move to Liaodong and Goryeo, and now we still have the final say in the north. Even the Lingnan area can also move a few branches. ”

Dingguo Gong said: "Isn't this a split attack for the emperor?"

"These clansmen are just ordinary people in cloth, the Wei clan does not commit the great crime of punishing the nine clans, why should the emperor chase and kill them from the north and south?"

Dingguo Gong sighed: "You know it, but you don't know why." You have always been used to wandering, first, you don't know that your homeland is difficult to move, and second, you have forgotten that the reason why our descendants have this prestige is because we can bring wealth to our people and protect their interests. Do you want us to retire after we succeed, not to mention those clansmen, which of these uncles, brothers, sons and nephews in the army are not high-ranking officials, let them give up everything in their hands, and see their clansmen retreat to a wild land, can they accept it?"

Wei Wuji inevitably felt a chill in his heart, his imagination was very beautiful, and his reality was very skinny.

The prominence of the Wei family's father and son represents the collective interests of the clansmen's in-laws, just like the Xuanwumen Mutiny and the Chenqiao Mutiny in the official history, not so much the ambition of Li Shimin and Zhao Kuangyin, but the collective interests of the military general group. At this time, if the father and son of the Wei family asked them to give up their interests, they were afraid that they might not be able to lead to a mutiny. And in ancient times, it was a clan society, and a commoner was tied to his own clan relationship, let alone a hundred-year-old clan like the Wei family?

No matter how proficient a person in power is, he can't betray the entire group in what he does, and he can't be in a hurry if he really wants to betray. In the official history, the Sui Dynasty was extremely prosperous and declined, and Yang Guang was a traitor to the Guanlong Group, so the country was not protected, and he was executed by Yu Wenhua.

Wei Wuji only thought about getting out of the power dump and being a pair of immortal couples with Xiao Yu'er, so he had the idea of retreating. But this violates the common interests of the clansmen, so how can they listen to his arrangement?

Wei Wuji said: "Father, please forgive me, if you can't retreat now, let me retreat first." ”

Ding Guogong's eyes widened: "What did you say?"

Wei Wuji said: "I want to resign and go into hiding. I have even resigned from the office, can people in the world still say that my Wei family has the heart to continue to hold power? If the emperor wants to do something to us, it will be difficult to block the mouth of the world. And my father is still in the army, so in the end he can control the people who are under the head of the town. ”

Song Tai/Zu Cup released the military power, but did not punish those generals, it stands to reason that the Wei family can really let go of the military power, and Xuanyuan Ling Heng has no need to deal with it. The retreat of the Wei father and son will inevitably cause unease among the powerful people in the Wei clan, but if one person retreats first, the situation can be stabilized.

Dingguo said: "You are so ambitious? My Wei clan has been prominent for 300 years, and it has been extinct in your generation? Are you worthy of your ancestors and ancestors?"

Although Wei Wuji had a time when he was a teenager and absurd, his talent was no less than that of the Duke of his ancestors, and he actually had such an idea.

Wei Wuji clenched the horsewhip in his hand and said, "The Li family, the Wang family, and the Xie family are worthy of the ancestors and ancestors. My Wei clan has been in Yongzhou for 300 years, and has the military and political power, and if you want to settle the world, you must get the support of the Wei family. But the times have changed, and it depends on the Xie family, who almost completely handed over local power within two generations and won the emperor's trust. If the Xie family does this, won't Zhen Guogong have any difficulties? At this time, only our Wei clan is left, unlike so many gate valves that can be hugged together a hundred years ago. The Xuanyuan clan will definitely do it, and the other gate valves in the past will also be willing to be the pawns of the Xuanyuan clan. ”

Wei Wuji is crazy and evil, but he is not really greedy for power, he just can't find a reason to delegate power, and after delegating power, where will his heart go? He is surrounded by the family interest group, and he also grows up on the family group.

When he met her, his heart was in her, and he had a strong desire to change the trajectory of his life. The prince will turn fame, fortune and wealth into nothing, it is better to stay with a lover.

Ding Guogong was silent for a long time and said, "Do you know anything?

Wei Wuji shook his head: "I don't know, I just know that if I were the emperor, I would do it." ”

Dingguo Gong sneered: "If you resign, can you make the emperor not suspicious?"

"When I resign, I will wander the rivers and lakes, and I can slow down the emperor. In another two years, I will have some roots in the rivers and lakes, and my father will let the emperor infiltrate Yongzhou. The time is almost right for you to retreat, and the emperor will consider cannibalizing at a smaller price, rather than killing the Wei family. The emperor hasn't finished digesting it, and the five princes under the emperor's knees have all grown up. At that time, the dispute between the Li family, the Yang family, the Feng family, and the Fu family was very noisy, and my Wei family was not eye-catching, after all, it was impossible for my sister to give birth to a prince. Although the Wei family is no longer as prominent as before, it is better than being demolished by the emperor across the river. ”

At different times, the primary and secondary contradictions between the DPRK and China will change, just as the main contradictions in the country during the War of Resistance changed from class/contradiction to nation/contradiction. If you can seize this opportunity for change, it is a yang scheme.

Ding Guogong looked at his son suspiciously, but felt that when he came back this time, there were some things that made people feel different, but he couldn't tell what it was.

……

Autumn goes to spring, and the New Year has passed in a blink of an eye.

It has been the ninth year of Yongjing, and the imperial court has opened up Enke, and this time, hundreds of talented people from poor families have poured into the officialdom, further consolidating the emperor's power.

The limelight of Concubine Zhongdu's transformation into a fox has gradually receded, but the days of the harem have not returned to normal. Most of the emperors stayed in their own palaces, or lived in Qionglin Garden, missing Concubine De.

Queen Wang proposed to bring Hua Fangfang, the young daughter of the Hua family, into the palace to serve the king, and Queen Wang had already inquired clearly, although Hua Fangfang was also a beauty, she was far less beautiful than Concubine De.

Although this is not what she wants to do, showing virtue at this time can also make the emperor understand her hard work, and let the emperor eliminate some mustard for her.

didn't expect this to happen, but the emperor vetoed the proposal of the concubine.

Xuanyuan Ling Heng also wanted to vent the hatred in his chest against the Hua family, but he also understood that Hua Rongying's willfulness was by no means the Hua family's teaching. And her ability to leave everything behind also shows that she doesn't care that much about her family.

If he goes after her two younger siblings who still care a little bit, then they are completely opposites, and there is no way to reconcile.

She herself escaped from the harem and picked up her sister in, she would never feel that this was an honor. The three of them had said that Roujia wanted to marry a man like Pan An, and she had the same heart for her sister.

I don't know if I can change it the day after tomorrow.
