Chapter 230

After winning the champion, Cui was also in the Hanlin Academy like everyone else, but after staying for a few days, he was summoned by the Holy Lord to Zhongshu Province to serve as the chief secretary. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The province is the central government office directly under the Holy Lord, in charge of confidential information, drafting and promulgating edicts.

However, this position is also a little delicate, although further up is the Zhongshu Sheren who is called the Chu Xiang, but in fact, it is mainly in charge of the scribes, and only one has been promoted to become a Zhongshu Sheren in the past few decades, and in recent years, the power in the hands of the Zhongshu Province has been divided by the Hanlin Academy, and it is not as hot as before.

However, even so, it is still a close minister of the Son of Heaven.

In the face of the temptation of the scholars, the attitude of the saint is still ambiguous, and he not only pays enough attention to it, but also seems to be deliberately suppressed.

The people of the major families are all worried, but Cui is very well adapted, with a modest attitude to study, and he is serious about doing things, but he is definitely not diligent, and he will never do more than one thing that is not within his division, so he is usually not busy.

"Si Yuanling can indeed be regarded as a person like ice and snow. Cui Guo said regretfully, "It's a pity that I can't go to see him often." ”

Cui Ning frowned and asked, "Why?"

Cui Guan looked at her with an expression of "You are really a fool", "Your Majesty admires Buddhism, and the Li family supports Taoism, Si Yuanling can be regarded as a Taoist, right?

was touched by his words, and Cui Ning's eyes suddenly changed.

The saint grounded Chen Yuan on the stargazing platform and gave him the title of "Si Yuanling", he was not just a child who could look at fortune telling, but became a kind of symbol.

The former emperor was forced to abdicate, and now he has been confined to the East Palace and has become the crown prince again, is he willing? Will those nobles who were originally in power in the Li family be Xuanhe, but now they are in decline, willing?

Absolutely not!

For ordinary people, religion is a kind of belief, and for the regime, it is even more of a power. Daomen is now being suppressed very badly, but there is still no shortage of believers among the people, if Daomen shows its mysterious power again, I am afraid that it will be able to gain a large number of believers in the blink of an eye, which is obviously a force that should not be underestimated.

Then, Si Yanling's death may indeed have another inside story.

Cui Ning suddenly understood what she had ignored before-maybe the slaughter of the master had a lot to do with the struggle for power!

The reason why the Cui family wants to hide her identity and dare not act rashly should also have this concern.

After figuring out these things, she was very glad that she didn't act rashly, otherwise it would just be a small life in vain, and maybe it would affect the Cui family, but at the same time, she became more and more worried, what if the slaughter of the master was the will of the saint?

Cui Ning pursed her lips slightly, some things are just a blind eye, after brushing away this leaf, she can see everything, she also understands why her grandfather would make a move to promote her marriage with Wei Qian, instead of marrying her into the Xie family, or which big family.

The Xie family has ambition and fame, and Xuanhe, who is bent on returning to the "Wang Xie era", as long as there are enough opportunities, there is nothing they can't do!

Whether it is selfishness or righteousness, Cui Xuanbi will never allow Cui Ning to get involved in the power struggle.

In comparison, Wei Qian is a better choice. Most of the Wei family members do not hold real power in their hands, all of them are Qingliu ministers, and with Wei Qian, a discerning husband, Cui Ning's every move is under the noses of the Wei family, and the road to revenge is almost cut off.

Thinking of this, Cui Ning felt a little complicated in her heart, she thought, if she had seen all this earlier, would she still choose to marry Wei Qian without hesitation?

The devil knows the answer!

Seeing her expression change, Cui Guan couldn't help asking, "What are you thinking?"

"It's a mess. Cui Ning rubbed her face vigorously, and pretended to be relaxed, "That's it, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, let's fill my stomach first!"

Cui Kuang is a child who loves to explore the truth, but he didn't ask, not only because he has always liked to explore by himself, but also because he felt her sadness that was about to overflow.

After dinner, Cui Ning put aside all kinds of emotions and rushed to the official office to assist Wei Qian in investigating the case.

But after all, she is too young, although she has tried her best to explain herself, but she will always wander inadvertently, and a keen person like Wei Qian has naturally discovered it a long time ago.

Wei Qian plans to put down the matter at hand for the time being, no matter how urgent and important it is to solve the case, he can always squeeze out a little time to relieve his little girl, "Accompany me to dinner first?"

"Huh?" Cui Ning was stunned for a moment and nodded hurriedly, "Okay." ”

The two went to the mutton noodle stall near the Supervision Division, and after taking a seat, while waiting for the noodles, Wei Qian asked, "Not happy?"

Cui Ning looked at the faint bruises left by staying up late in his eyes, and couldn't bear to let his emotions affect him, "It's okay, it's just cranky." ”

Wei Qian was silent for two breaths, stretched out his hand and rubbed her head, "If there is something that can't be solved, don't think about it alone, since you are willing to marry me, I will be your lifelong dependence, anything, as long as I can do it, I will do it for you." ”

His expression was serious, no different from the expression he had when he told the case, neither promising anything nor comforting her, but stating a very simple fact.

When the noodles were served, Cui Ning said, "I've eaten it, and I can't finish it." ”

"Eat as much as you can, and give me the rest. Wei Qian flicked the noodles in the bowl with chopsticks, and asked, "About Shimen?"

He knows Cui Ning too well, she is a person with a boundless heart, except for what happened to her master, any troubles in her are like a strong wind blowing over her heart, leaving no traces later, nothing can bother her for too long.

"Hmm. Cui Ning saw that there was no one around, and said in a low voice, "Fifth brother, what should I do if the Holy Majesty orders the removal of my master?"

Wei Qian thought about it seriously, without any perfunctory words, "I can't tell you the answer now, wait until I check it carefully before making a judgment." ”

"Fifth brother......" Cui Ningne, "or you don't care." ”

Wei Qian's face suddenly smiled, and his eyes became gentle and doting, "I can't help it." ”

In front of him, the lights were faint, the heat in the noodle bowl was rising, and the smile on a handsome face with a little tiredness was faint, but it made the ignorant Cui Ning's heart beat faster, and his eyes stared at him for a moment, subconsciously engrave this moment deeply in his heart.

Wei Qian didn't have any intention of serving the imperial power, so he never thought of fighting for the position above the ten thousand people under that person, he had the right and wrong in his heart, the world was black and white, and he wanted to do things to clear the universe with the power of the slightest.

He has his own ideals and ambitions, and his own code of conduct, but before doing these things, he first does not want to let down the people around him, if she wants a moth to fight the fire, he is willing to sacrifice his life to accompany him.

Wei Qian took these things for granted, and they were not worth proclaiming, so he just seriously analyzed the troubles in front of her, "I don't think it's very likely that you said at the moment, if you want to get rid of someone in that position, there are too many reasons to find, since you can be justifiable, why do you want to be a villain secretly?" Don't think too much for the time being." ”

――――――――――――――――――

I haven't slept well in the past two years, and the last two days have been abnormal, sleeping for a long time, but always unstable, and falling asleep is a blockbuster, and it's a disaster movie.

Usually I don't feel much when I wake up from a dream, but today this dream made me feel depressed for a while.

The background of this dream is also the end of the world, the alien species attacked, the human race suffered a heavy loss, and some organizations began to forcibly recruit warriors and laborers, and claimed that the recruited labor was mainly for the construction of defensive buildings. My father, who was old but physically strong, was conscripted to work in the Zhufang, and my younger brother, in order to avoid being conscripted as a soldier, went with me to pick up my aunt who was marrying far away, along with my aunt's cousin.

On the way back by train, resting at the transit station, and then getting on the train, the conductor suddenly began to divide the crowd into several groups, and my aunt was forcibly taken to the next car.

The official attitude was tough, and after some quarrels, we compromised, at least through a glass door, we could see her, and there were many passengers in this carriage whose relatives were also there, and if the person next door was hurt, everyone would not be indifferent.

The train track was partially destroyed, and we went very slowly, and on the third day, when I was lying on the side of the window and looking out, I saw a train on the opposite track, the kind that pulled coal, very simple, and I could see that it was full of people. At that moment, our train suddenly slowed down, and then I saw a familiar figure jumping off the train and frantically climbing up the slope next to the tracks, the person was my aunt, and the people chasing her behind began to fire guns.

My aunt couldn't bear it at the time, so she opened the window and went out.

My brother and cousin and I also chased down together, we ran frantically on the slope, I didn't know where my shoes were thrown, in addition to the whistling wind, I also heard someone shouting "Stop, don't chase, that girl has mutated", I looked up in surprise and saw my aunt tearing the electric protective net with her hands, and the soldiers chasing her began to drop special bombs.

The deafening explosion shook my brain, the special bomb flowed out of the magma-like thing, my feet burned so badly, and in the billowing dust and smoke, I didn't see whether my aunt was alive or dead.

After the sharp tinnitus passed, I heard someone say, "Those are her family, suspected of being infected, and put them in the ninth carriage first."

My brother carried my aunt behind his back and pulled me and my cousin to start running away, not caring if there were any aliens outside.

We were lucky, we escaped the pursuit, the road was bumpy, the luggage was lost, the money was almost used, all the way back to the safe area, into a KFC, there was little food in it, but everything was ridiculously expensive.

All the money we had on us wasn't enough to buy a burger. My brother said that he received a text message from an unknown number on his phone, informing the post office that there was a package, and he said that it might be something from his father.

He told us to take a break and pick up the mail ourselves. When he came back, he had a file bag, and he looked very happy, saying that it might be money from his father, and I looked at it, and it was all brand new dollars, a thick pile, but it probably didn't even cost two hundred dollars.

But with the money, at least we won't starve.

We went into the KFC, it was very simple, it was an L-shaped room, it was very small, there were only three or four tables, we ordered the food and sat down in the corner, and was about to start eating, my cousin saw the paper wrapped in money, her face turned white, and she trembled to say something, but she only made a sound similar to crying.

We also sensed that something was wrong, and my brother quickly unfolded the paper to look at it, and the content written on it was very simple, probably: Comrade xxx died at the site of the construction of the workshop......

It's my dad's name. The payment is a certain foreign defense army in Sichuan.

In the silence, my cousin cried and said, "My father received this letter not long after he left."

My heart was cramping, my stomach was constricted when I looked at the food in front of me, I grabbed my brother's cell phone and called the post office, and the phone worked, but it wasn't the post office.

The voice of a strange middle-aged man said: This is a certain foreign defense army in Sichuan.

I quickly reported my dad's name and asked him where my dad was now, and there was silence for a while, explaining in a regretful tone that he had died.

I didn't give up and said, "In that case, I'm going to take my dad home."

But they said: I'm sorry, because I have been in contact with the outside world, so I can only destroy it......

When I heard the news, I was so heartbroken that I forced myself to eat, and told my brother to take good care of the family at home, and not to tell my mother the news, and then I went to Sichuan to start looking for this external defense office, full of thoughts, the other party did not give me an acceptable reason, so I carried the bomb and died with the military department, but I knew in my heart that there was no reason for me to accept.

I didn't believe that the labor mortality rate of building a house would be so high! When I was about to arrive, I found out a little eyebrow, and found that the place was recruiting middle-aged men to do human experiments under the guise of construction, and called these people "resisting xenomorphs and contributing to mankind", thinking of all kinds of details, I was so angry that I wanted to vomit blood, and my heart was full of ****** human contributions, and if I didn't pay back my father, what more human beings would ******!

And then...... I was so angry that I woke up, and when I woke up, my heart was really hurting, and my head was about to crack.

This dream was so unfortunate that it took me most of the day to calm my emotions, and I hate it when I think about it now.

We say that dreams won't happen to others, and of course such a ridiculous thing will never happen, but I'm about to die, so I have to say it to a girlfriend.

May all fathers in the world be healthy and healthy for the rest of their lives. (To be continued.) )
