Jia Ning said: "Yes, I believe that Lord Shen has his own measure, when did he neglect to be cautious in Beiliang for many years? And for the sake of thoroughness, I have already sent a letter to him to discuss a better plan with him, in other words, in fact, what he did this time is also part of this plan, and today I want the elders to help consider what is wrong or what can be improved." ”

Elder Qingyuan said: "Please tell Your Highness in detail, the old minister will listen attentively." ”

Jianing told Elder Qingyuan about the plan in detail, and Elder Qingyuan was even more overjoyed when he heard it, and kept exclaiming: "Wonderful, really wonderful! Previously, the old minister was worried that Lord Shen would fail, but after knowing this plan, he suddenly felt that it was seamless, and Lord Shen really thought about it and looked at the overall situation, no matter how much Shangguan Tianyuan suspected Lord Shen, we all had room to win." ”

After discussing the strategy, Elder Qingyuan asked, "Suzaku has not heard from her for a long time, I don't know what her situation is now?"

Jianing said: "Shangguan Tianyuan was suspicious of Suzaku after returning to the dynasty, Xun Shaoling listened to his words and sent a careful monitoring of Suzaku, Suzaku had to temporarily cut off contact with Qinglong, so there was no news for a long time, and now she has regained Xun Shaoling's favor, Qinglong contacted her once, saying that Shangguan Tianyuan was still suspicious of her and deliberately tested her, but she could still deal with it, for the time being, she was only suspicious, and she did not expose her flaws. ”

Elder Qingyuan thought about it, frowned slightly, and said, "This Shangguan Tianyuan has really not changed at all for so many years, and he is worthy of being an elder who has taken over as the sect master of the Ten Thousand Dynasties twice, and his vision is more ruthless than anyone else!"

"Yes, he is the most difficult to deal with, and if this continues, I am afraid that Suzaku will be difficult to act by Xun Shaoling's side even if he is not exposed......" Jia Ning sighed.

While he was groaning, Elder Qingyuan's eyes flashed, and he gently shook the dust, and said: "Your Highness, the old minister thinks that the difficulty of Vermilion Bird now is that Xun Shaoling trusts Shangguan Tianyuan too much to obey him, so it is better to ......."

"Why don't you make a divisive move?" Elder Qingyuan woke up Jia Ning with a soft word, and she immediately turned her worries into joy.

Elder Qingyuan smiled lightly and said, "Exactly." ”

"After all, Shangguan Tianyuan is Xun Shaoling's master, and he has won Xun Shaoling's ......trust."

There was a hint of unfathomable meaning in the elder's expression, and he didn't know whether it was a sigh or a feeling: "Your Highness should only understand that the hearts of ancient and modern emperors are the most unpredictable, but they are also the best to ponder. ”

After Elder Qingyuan left, Qin Fengge used her nebula dart to lay down two "voyeurs" on the palace wall of Zhaoming Palace, it turned out to be Changle who sneaked into the palace secretly by you and Ji Chang'an who sneaked into the palace secretly with Changle. There is no way, although he has entered Luoyun Gate, he can't reveal it to Changle, so naturally he can't take him to Luoyun Gate's secret passage, so he can only sneak into the palace with this stupid method.

Ji Changan still got along with him as his master, and stayed in Chang'an as a Fengyuntang boxer, and when his two apprentices asked him why he suddenly wore a mask, his explanation was: "This face is so ugly, I'm embarrassed to wear a mask when I go out with it, okay?"

At this moment, the master and apprentice had a good fall, rolling on the ground in pain, and when they looked up, they saw that Jianing had already walked in front of them, looking down at them, no, they were looking down on Changle and ignoring Ji Changan, she feigned anger and said: "Changle, are you addicted to climbing the wall of the imperial sister's palace? Why don't you know how to take the right path?"

Changle got up from the ground and pretended to be aggrieved: "Sister Huang, forgive me, can't you ask for a decree to pass on this right path? Hehe, I'm used to crawling anyway......"

Ji Changan also stood up, patted the ashes on his body, returned to his dignified state, and coughed twice to let Jianing notice him.

Jianing gave him a blank look indifferently, and had no intention of talking to him. Seeing this, Qin Fengge took the opportunity to make Ji Changan uncomfortable, and scolded: "Who are you? Why do you cover your face with a mask? It's so weird!"

Ji Changan glanced at her and replied lightly: "You look too handsome, I'm afraid you'll worry about it, so you wear a mask, okay?"

Qin Fengge was inadvertently blushed a little by him, and hurriedly said: "Bold! Not only did he trespass into the palace, but he also dared to be so rude in front of Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Ji Changan didn't want to pay attention to her, and deliberately whistled at her a few times.

Changle saw that Jianing was extremely indifferent to Ji Changan, and realized that something was wrong between them, so it was no wonder that he hadn't seen Jianing out of the palace to meet Ji Changan for a long time, and Ji Changan was also sullen.

Changle protected him and said to Qin Fengge: "Sister Fengge, this is my master, and she is not a villain." Sister Huang, you said yes, right?"

Jianing said: "I think it looks like it. He said a cold word and turned away.

Ji Chang'an pounded Changle, Changle understood, ran up to chase Jianing, and said, "Sister Huang, my master has something to tell you!"

Jianing walked out for a while, and when he turned around, he caught a glimpse of Ji Changan making eye contact with Qin Fengge in the same place, and he was even more displeased, and asked Changle rhetorically: "You don't have anything to tell me?"

Changle didn't understand what she meant, scratched his head, smiled, and said, "No, I have something to say, I have something to say to Sister Mo Li!"

Jianing said: "It's a pity that Mo Li has nothing to say to you. ”

Yes, she came, such a big movement, Mo Li, who was still in the Huxin Pavilion before, disappeared at this time, why is this?

"Why?" Changle looked lonely.

Jianing's hand stretched out between his wide sleeves and took out a wooden statue, the wooden statue looked like Mo Li, and said: "Mo Li wants to return this to you, she said that she will never see you again in the future, please don't entangle." ”

Changle took the wooden statue sluggishly, and said suspiciously and sadly: "This ...... Didn't I just carved it? I haven't even had time to deliver it...... How could it be ......"

Jianing couldn't bear to see him suddenly fall so low, but Mo Li pleaded with her to do so, and she didn't know that she couldn't be soft-hearted, and said, "This is brought by my uncle." ”

"What, Father?" he asked, surprised.

Jianing said: "You were punished by your uncle when you carved this portrait, but?"

"Yes, he made a lot of fire, punished me for three days, copied the "Book of Rites" a hundred times, and I still sneaked out......" He muttered, saying that he was on fire, and said angrily: "Just punish me! What do you do with my wooden statue? He also came to find Mo Li? Did he say something to Mo Li!"

Jianing shook his head: "No, my uncle is here to tell me, he doesn't want you to have too close to Mo Li, and he wants me to restrain Mo Li...... I also felt that my uncle was too harsh, so I told him about it...... But Changle, Mo has already made up her mind, she said that she is just a palace maid and dare not climb the eldest grandson, please don't disturb in the future, and don't annoy your uncle again......"

Jianing hadn't finished relaying Mo Li's words, Changle really couldn't bear it, this blow was very big, it came so suddenly, his first love was blocked like this, how could he be willing? Changle immediately shouted angrily: "I don't believe it! How can she do this? Why should she be afraid of my father! He is the prime minister, he is amazing! Why does he care about me and Mo Li! No, I want to see her! Imperial sister, you let me go to see her!"

He had to go to Zhaoming Palace, Jianing pushed him away with a palm, and was supported by Ji Changan, how could Changle give up, and make trouble again.

Jianing said angrily: "Changle! Don't mess around anymore! This Zhaoming Palace is not a place for you to splash! You go out of the palace and return to the mansion for me! If you make trouble again, the imperial sister will punish you heavily!"

"I don't!" Changle rushed to the palace gate, he had to see Mo Li, Jianing had no choice but to blow a secret order to summon the secret guard to forcibly pull Changle away and send him out of the palace.

It wasn't until she couldn't hear Changle's voice at all, Mo Lifang came out of the hall, standing outside the hall gate, her expression was calm, but her eyes were red, she stood quietly, hiding the sadness in her eyes, as usual calm and self-controlled, when Jianing approached, she bowed and thanked: "His Royal Highness Lao is very grateful for this matter." ”

Jianing's heart was depressed, feeling sorry for Mo Li, she said: "Mo Li, I have completed what I promised you, but this does not mean that I am in favor." She held her hand and said frankly in a low voice: "You have been by my side since you returned from the rivers and lakes, you and I have long known each other, and I am worried about your life's events, but the prime minister is pregnant with your detailed identity...... But, Mo Li, Changle is not so easy to let go, and you can also change your mind, if you change your mind, I will treat it as all you and Changle, maybe one day you and I can form a concubine, wouldn't it be a good thing?"

Mo Li said: "Your Highness, don't centrifuge like stopping water, only regret the previous mental weakness and delusion, yesterday after being reminded by the Prime Minister, Mo Li woke up like a dream, and in the future, he should be self-restrained, serve His Highness wholeheartedly, and be loyal to Luo Yunmen." ”

Jianing said: "You don't have to suffer so much, my uncle really doesn't want his son to marry all of them, after all, the eldest grandson's family has done enough fine work, and if you don't leave you, you must know his suffering." But if you don't work carefully, it's completely different, and if your uncle knows where you come from, he will ......."

Mo Li said goodbye and resolutely interrupted Jianing: "Your Highness doesn't need to persuade anymore, Your Highness's heart, the Prime Minister's heart, Mo Li can understand, and please forgive Your Highness." ”

Jianing sighed helplessly and said from the bottom of his heart: "Actually...... Don't leave you not me, there is no burden on me, there is no need to be like this......"

Mo Li raised his head, his eyes were stubborn and tenacious, and said: "Please Your Highness, don't despise Mo Li! The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, Mo Li entered Luoyun Gate since he was a child in order to be a meticulous work loyal to the country, although he is a woman, he must also serve Nan Ke for the work of dogs and horses, and now that the war is imminent, how can Mo Li evade his own responsibilities and delusion in his personal affairs?"

Ji Changan and Qin Fengge walked over here, he hadn't figured out the situation yet, and he was puzzled: "What's the matter?"

Qin Fengge hooked his lips and smiled, looked at the two people in front of the hall with condensed eyes, and said, "Those who are amorous will be hurt." ”

Outside the hall, the Jin Xuan struck again, the hundred officials shouted, and the Qi Xing retreated to the court, and in the aftermath of the Jin Xuan, the hundred officials retreated from the dynasty and went out of the Tianhua Palace.

Shen Donglai walked before the courtiers, surrounded by hundreds of officials, they all congratulated him, but he was sad, just politely replied, quite sad, the officials asked, he said: "Your Majesty is in charge of the military and politics to inherit the emperor's grace, but this burden is on my shoulders, and the southern expedition is imminent, lest I will not have the heavy trust of Your Majesty, I am really afraid." ”

The officials flattered: "Lord Taiwei is too modest! Lord Taiwei has been in charge of the military and government for many years without fail, and has helped the emperor to the south three times, and every time he helps the society in danger, the new emperor has entrusted the important task to the adult, which is really sure of the talent of the adult, and the adult is really the first person in my Northern Liang court." ”

"My colleagues are too exalted to me Shen Dong is here, I dare not be ashamed!" he returned the salute indifferently and walked forward.

On the palace road, Elder Wan Chaozong Yixin walked towards him, he was slightly younger than Elder Tianyuan, his hair was not white, his posture was upright, his smile was bowing, he was not as serious as Elder Tianyuan, and he was very friendly with people on weekdays.

Baiguan greeted him, he stopped in front of Shen Donglai, and after saluting him, the two leaned on the side of the road alone, talking while walking. Elder Yixin said: "The old man heard that Lord Shen had another important task from His Majesty, so he came to say goodbye. Although Lord Shen is now named Taiwei, he is really in charge of the power of the two ministers, and he is really a rare important minister of the Northern Liang Dynasty in a hundred years. ”

Shen Donglai smiled bitterly and said: "The elder said that I am in charge of the power of the two ministers, but if I say that I am under the weight of the two ministers, how can the elders not know the taste?"

Elder Yixin looked at him from the side and said, "Lord Shen seems to be very distressed? According to the old man's opinion, Lord Shen, you are not worried about being ordered to be in danger and fear of losing the emperor's favor, but you have other worries, right? Lord Situ was seriously ill and suddenly resigned, Lord Shen has always been good friends with him, and he will definitely be saddened by Lord Situ's illness, right? Lord Situ has closed his door since he fell ill, and it is inconvenient for the old man to visit him, so I wonder if he will get better...... Oh, by the way, Lord Shen went to visit Lord Situ's house at the invitation of Lord Situ when he was sick the day before yesterday, so you can see how he looks?"

The moment is so accurate, how can he ask Situ Lianying's condition? It is clearly representing Wan Chaozong to give Shen Dong a dismissal.

As soon as Shen Donglai heard it, it became clear that when Situ Lianying stepped down and Xun Shaoling gave him weight, he also let Wan Chaozong strengthen his surveillance on him, reuse him and guard him, Xun Shaoling and Shangguan Tianyuan were plotting people to the extreme.

He did not show his feelings, but was even more sad, and sighed: "Eh! Lord Situ is seriously ill and has no former look, which makes me very sad to see it! How can a person who is not a saint or a sage be without fault? Lord Situ is not a perfect person, and his virtue is wrong, but he has always been conscientious in the government, and his resignation from His Majesty is really a great loss to my Northern Liang court! I also blame me, I have been friends with him for many years, but I have not been able to persuade him considerately, and I have not been able to help him get rid of his bad habits, so he ended up in such a ......."

Shen Donglai complained bitterly, his eyes were moist, infinitely sad, and his feelings were sincere, and the elders felt cold when they saw it, and sighed with him.

Just as he was sighing, Shen Donglai's voice stopped suddenly, covered his mouth lightly, made a speechless gesture, and whispered with some embarrassment: "...... This, for a moment of sentimentality, I lost my mouth...... Lord Situ asked me to keep it a secret for him, how could I say it casually...... But, I suppose, Elder, you should know the truth, right? Otherwise, I'd be guilty......"

Elder Yixin also said in a low voice: "Your Majesty has already informed the old man and Elder Tianyuan of the truth, Lord Shen, you are not a gaffe." His Majesty remembered that Lord Situ had made significant contributions, and also deliberately preserved his dignity, and did not make his illness clear to the courtiers, and asked Lord Shen to pay more attention in the future, don't lose your words, the dignity of the Situ family can't be lost. ”

Shen Donglai said yes again and again, and asked Elder Yixin to forgive the Situ family a lot when the Ten Thousand Dynasty Sect pursued Situ Lianying's crimes, so as not to let the Situ family be too implicated, and Elder Yixin saw that he was sincere, and also promised to intercede for the Situ family in front of Elder Tianyuan.

Shen Donglai said goodbye to Elder Yixin and marched in different directions, and the other courtiers saw that it was inconvenient for Shen Donglai and Elder Yixin to talk alone, so they walked forward separately, and at this time they had already walked a long way. A hundred feet away, the ministers and hundreds of officials wearing dark official uniforms and black official hats walked on this lengthy palace road, and he was behind, looking at the dark color, Shi Ran walked alone.

Outside the palace gate, hundreds of officials got into their own carriages and drove away, Shen Donglai got into the carriage, and there was already one person in the carriage, but it was Wei Nanshan, the secretary of the military department.

The carriage left Miyagi, and the two of them saluted each other, and Shen Donglai asked cautiously, "You weren't seen when you got on the bus, right?"
