Chapter 22: The Wind Rises

"Aiqing really thinks so?" Shangguan Fengjin got up and looked out the window and asked.

For Shangguan Fengjin, Bai Yi was a friend back then, and now he is the most important minister, but people can change, who knows if Bai Yi will betray him, and finally shook his head out of the window, how could it be, I hope I think too much.

"Your Majesty already has the answer in his heart. Bai Liqing said.

"Well, you go back first. Shangguan Fengjin said.

"By the way, those restless people in the court don't have to be let go. ”

It is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let go of one, brother the emperor, you are all dead, but you still leave so much trouble, just because these few people still want to rebel, but they are innocent of death, Shangguan Fengjin said secretly in his heart.

"Yes, Wechen retired. Baili Qing also understood the meaning of Shangguan Fengjin, as an emperor, he naturally didn't want to see someone snooping on the throne.

Yingwu Hou Mansion, Xia Chengwu is drinking with Zhang Shuo and Lord Zhang in a small pavilion, originally as Xia Chengwu, he didn't have to pay attention to a small Kyoto Mansion Yin, but when he heard that Zhang Shuo was looking for him for Bai Yi's business, he asked people to invite him to this pavilion to see what he wanted to say.

"The wine in Xiahou Ye's house is really unusual, mellow and gloomy, and it still loses its strength, it is the best in the wine, and it is indeed Zhang's honor to be able to drink it today," Zhang Shuo took a sip of wine and said.

"This is nature, this wine is a tribute wine from His Majesty. Xia Chengwu said arrogantly.

"Your Majesty has given a lot, and now all the palaces of this Marquis have become this kind of royal wine. ”

Don t think that the marquis of this book specially used imperial wine to entertain your little mansion yin, but because there is no other wine in the mansion, xia chengwu looked at zhang shuo and thought. Although Xia Chengwu was born as a military general, he didn't like to drink much since he was a child, and now he only drinks some occasionally, so the house will not deliberately prepare wine, even if he wants to hold a banquet, there is also some imperial wine.

"It turns out that this is the wine given by the emperor, and it is the first time that the lower official has drunk it. Zhang Shuo said, of course he is not a stupid person who can be an official in the capital, Zhang Shuo naturally understands what Xia Chengwu said, but he pretends not to know anything there, since this Xia Chengwu is so arrogant, then satisfy his mentality.

"It turns out that Lord Zhang is drinking it for the first time!" Xia Chengwu glanced at Zhang Shuo contemptuously and said, a mansion Yin also wanted His Majesty to give wine.

"However, Lord Zhang shouldn't have gone to Ben Hou's mansion to taste wine this time, right? Lord Zhang still has something to say, Ben Hou still has some things to deal with. ”

"Hou Ye is wise, Xia Guan came to the Hou Mansion this time to discuss with Hou Ye. Hearing Xia Chengwu say that he was leaving, Zhang Shuo hurriedly said.

"What's the matter?" "Don't say secret words in front of the Ming people, Xiahou Ye and the Prime Minister have always been at odds, this is known to the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and now Prime Minister Bai is in prison on suspicion of murdering the prince, and the lower officials are afraid that this will implicate Xiahou Ye, so they came to tell him. Zhang Shuo said.

"Since everyone in the court knows that Ben Hou and Bai Yi are not in harmony, how can they implicate Ben Hou Ye. Xia Chengwu said dissatisfiedly.

"Master Hou is not in a hurry, and listen to the analysis. ”

"Said" Xia Chengwudao, if this guy can't tell a reason, Ben Hou will definitely not spare him.

"What Hou Ye sees now is only the surface, although Lord Bai is imprisoned, no one is sure that he will not be released one day, not to mention that the emperor already trusts him, once he is out of prison, it will prove that someone is framing this matter, then Lord Bai will definitely not let go of the person who framed him, and Hou Ye is the first to bear the brunt. Zhang Shuo said.

"Although the Hou Ye did not frame him, but today in the court, the Hou Ye spared no effort to want His Majesty to condemn him!"

"What's the matter! Ben Hou and Bai Yi, the sanctimonious villain, have never dealt with each other, even if he comes out of prison, he is just targeting Ben Hou above the court, and Ben Hou is afraid that he will not succeed. Xia Chengwu couldn't help but say after listening to what Zhang Shuo said.

"This, Hou Ye will not be afraid of Prime Minister Bai. Although Xia Chengwu said to him in front of him that Bai Yi was a sanctimonious person, Zhang Shuo would not call Bai Yi by his name, not to mention that in his opinion, Xia Chengwu was just a brave and unscrupulous man.

"It's just that it is inevitable that some people will think that the Hou Ye is framing the Bai Prime Minister, and when the time comes, as long as the Hou Ye is in front of the emperor, the Bai Xiang and the party will all suspect the Hou Ye... Zhang Shuo paused and said, "Today, Zhang has offended Bai Xiang to death, no matter what, Zhang will stand on the same line with Hou Ye." ”

If you say who Shangguan Fengjin trusts more between the two of them, you don't have to think about it to know that it is Bai Yi, Xia Chengwu naturally knows this better than anyone else, although both of them assisted Shangguan Fengjin to ascend the throne, but he only stood in Shangguan Fengjin's camp when the overall situation was decided.

Xia Chengwu did not speak, but looked at Zhang Shuo with inquiring eyes.

"Master Hou, what do you say will happen if the prime minister's sin is confirmed?" Zhang Shuo said.

"Sit down?" If Bai Yi's sin is confirmed, then I am afraid that there will be no more Bai Yi in this Dachen, although Xia Chengwu really wanted to deal with Bai Yi, but he never wanted him to die, after all, he was the prime minister of a country, and even he felt that someone was framing him in this matter, and now he was indeed hesitant to let Bai Yi sit on this matter.

"Naturally, there is no need for Hou Ye to take action in this matter, and Hou Ye will be in the court as long as it is the same as today. Zhang Shuo said.

"Aren't you afraid that Ben Hou will tell you about this?"

"Will Hou Ye? Even if Hou Ye tells this matter, no one will believe it. Zhang Shuo said, who would believe that Xiahou Ye, who was hostile to Bai Xiang, would help Bai Xiang.

"Ben Hou still has something to deal with, I'm afraid I won't be able to entertain Master Zhang. Xia Chengwu said that he still needs to consider this matter, although he is a military general, it can be seen that this Zhang Shuo wants to drag him into the water.

"It just so happens that Xia Guan also needs to leave some things at this time, so he won't bother Hou Ye. Zhang Shuo said. Some things are enough to say once, and if you say too much, things will be reversed, Zhang Shuo knows that Xia Chengwu will definitely cooperate when the time comes.

At the same time, the mansion of Lord Wang of the Ministry of Rites, Wang Xiwen's study.

"Master Ji, this matter is in a hurry, in case this is Shangguan Fengjin's conspiracy to lure us out, it will be more than worth the loss. Wang Xiwen stroked his beard and said to the person opposite.

"Wang Xiwen, are you afraid, I think that if there was no eldest prince, you would have been thrown into the wilderness, and now that villain not only took away the throne that originally belonged to the eldest prince, but also killed the eldest prince, are you used to living a prosperous life now, just think about it. Zimmer said angrily.

"Lord Ji, Wang has only been loyal to the eldest prince all his life, if you say this again, don't blame Wang for not talking about the past feelings, hum. After Wang Xiwen finished speaking, he threw up his sleeves and walked to the side and sat down, Wang Xiwen naturally understood this friend's temper, but the most unbearable thing was that some of them doubted his loyalty to the eldest prince.

"Lord Ji, what Lord Wang said is indeed right, this matter must be planned well, otherwise if you fall into the trap, so many years of layout will be in vain. Another said.

"Then Lord Yu, what good method do you have?" said Ji Mo calmly.

"Now that Bai Yi has been imprisoned by Shangguan Fengjin, Bailiqing is going to Jeju to worship his ancestors, and Shangguan Fengjin has no ministers to rely on in this capital, this is the best time to do it, and the opportunity must not be lost and will not come again!"

"Brother Ji, don't worry, take a look first, wait a few days, if it is not a trap designed by that person, then start acting, Brother Ji is in charge of the Royal Forest Army, don't show your feet in the palace these days. Yu Qing was worried that he would be in a hurry to act, so he admonished.

"What Master Yu said is right, I have to wait a few days to see the situation. Wang Xiwen said. "Then wait a few more days" Zimmer saw that both of them had the same opinion, so he could only compromise.
