Chapter 106: Shattered
"Everyone, Aiqing, can you have a song in the morning today?"
The military department Shangshu crossed the crowd and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a play!" β
Yu Wenrui's spirit was lifted, and she knew that what the military department played must be related to Beizheng.
"What did Aiqing play?"
"Your Majesty, the minister just received the news of Xizuo this morning, Yang Lie is dead."
"Ahh Not only Yu Wenrui, but also the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't help but whisper. How many years has it only been since Yang Lie forced the palace to usurp the throne? He was in the prime of life, and he could not have died of illness. Everyone had the same thought in their heartsβ
"How did he die?" Yu Wenrui asked anxiously.
"The details of the situation are not yet known, but it is certain that Yang Lie is dead. It is said that last night in the forbidden palace of Beizheng a large number of royal forest troops, and later the general of Beizheng Zhan Teng led troops into the palace, saying that he wanted to protect the East Palace. β
"The son of Yang Lie in the East Palace?" Yu Wenrui faintly sensed something.
"Yes. Yang Lie's eldest son is eight years old this year and is the crown prince of the East Palace in Beizheng. His mother is Yang Lie's main room. β
Yuwen Rui groaned slightly, and said: "This great general Zhanteng, does he want to support this little prince to ascend the throne?" β
"I think so. Since Yang Lie is dead, it is also justifiable that the East Palace will ascend the throne. However, that little doll is only eight years old, what does she know? Majesty doesn't have to be taken to heart. β
He originally wanted to comfort the emperor, but he didn't want to twitch his head, and completely forgot that their majesty was also an "eight-year-old little doll" who ascended the throne back then.
The Manchu Dynasty both civil and military looked sideways: Do you mean that he was a "person who didn't understand anything" when he ascended the throne today?
The military department Shangshu knew that he was speechless. He is a straight martial artist, and he doesn't know how to turn around when he says the wrong thing, he will only blush, staring at a pair of tiger eyes, and he is at a loss for a while.
Yu Wenrui didn't pay attention to it, and asked, "Aiqing is familiar with this Zhanteng?" It is rumored that he is the first fierce general in Beizheng, but is it true? β
When the military department Shangshu heard this, his heart was relieved, and his heart was really good and self-contained, and he felt that he couldn't wait to dedicate everything he knew to the lord, "Your Majesty is Mingjian!" As far as the minister knows, the 'No. 1 Fierce General of Beizheng' is not so much Zhan Teng as his eldest son Zhan Yu. β
"Zhan Teng's son?" Yu Wenrui came to be interested.
"Yes. Zhan Tengsheng has two sons, the eldest son Zhan Yu, is a hussar general, it is said that the bravery is very strong, no one is invincible in Beizheng, and he is called 'Saiwen Hou'. β
Yu Wenrui sneered: "He still dares to compare with Lu Bu? β
Then he asked, "What about the second son?" β
"Zhan Teng's second son is named Zhan Wen, and he ...... ......" An embarrassed look appeared on the face of the military department, and his eyes involuntarily slid to the British Gongjing Zi Qiao.
Jing Ziqiao also coughed lightly in embarrassment, bowed down and played: "Your Majesty, Zhan Wen was killed by Jing Jiayue last month. β
Yu Wenrui was stunned, it turned out to be the one who was hacked to death by Yue'er, and she was so scared that she didn't dare to fall asleep, and then she did something to Sister A? No wonder! That day, Yue'er said that after this war wen was hacked to death by her, a group of followers snatched the body regardless of their lives, and it turned out to be a person with a big background. Hum! Martial arts are not good, and arrogant, this kind of goods, you deserve to die!
She smiled disdainfully: "Zhan Yu, Zhan Wen, hum!" He'll have a name! Do you want to defeat my Yuwen clan? β
None of the ministers dared to speak.
Yu Wenrui swept over the ministers standing under the Danqi, and said: "Yang Lie is dead, what do you think of the ministers of the Beizheng situation?" β
The secretary of the military department hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the current situation in Beizheng is chaotic, and it is an excellent time for me to send troops in the Great Zhou!" β
Yu Wenrui sighed "hmm" and was noncommittal.
"Your Majesty," Jing Ziqiao said, "The minister thinks that the situation is not clear at this time, and it is better to wait and see what happens." β
The military department Shangshu hurriedly said: "The British public is so bad; Yang Lie is dead, and the Northern Zheng Dynasty is in chaos, so there must be no leisure to take care of the border passes. Sending troops at this time will definitely catch them off guard! β
Jing Ziqiao shook his head and said, "Not necessarily." Why did Yang Lie just die, and Zhan Teng was able to support troops to protect the East Palace? How did he get the news so quickly? Moreover, How did Yang Lie die? Did you die of illness? Or was it killed? What is the disease? If so, by whom? These are all suspicious points. Therefore, the minister thinks that for the sake of today's plan, we should wait and see what happens. β
Yu Wenrui nodded and said, "What the British public says is reasonable. All Aiqing performed their duties, quickly found out the details of Beizheng, as well as the cause of Yang Lie's death, reported it to me, and then planned later. β
The monarchs and ministers talked about several important things, especially the Ministry of Rites, which was responsible for receiving the audience of all parties, and then dispersed.
The ministers dispersed, but Pei Chonghui did not move.
Yu Wenrui understood and said with a smile: "Pei Qing walked slowly, I read yesterday, and I couldn't figure out what to do, so I asked Aiqing to move and give me some advice." β
Pei Chonghui secretly said that the emperor was very smart, and arched his hand: "Obey the holy order!" β
The two of them came to the apse.
"Sir, please take a seat," Seeing Pei Chonghui sitting, Yu Wenrui sat down, and ordered Shen Quan again and again, "Quickly serve tea to Mr. Pei!" β
Pei Chonghui thanked him.
Yu Wenrui said: "Mr. must have something important. β
"Yes. In the past, the minister had made his majesty clear and had some ideas about the pattern of our dynasty. β
"Not bad. My husband once said that from when I was a child to many years after I joined the government, for more than 30 years, I have been deeply touched by the political affairs, criminal names, and official positions of our dynasty, and I feel that it is in urgent need of change. I also asked you to go through the six parts one by one, especially in the Criminal Department, as well as Dali Temple, saying that it was to give me a result of eliminating maladministration. β
"This is the result of what the minister said," Pei Chonghui said, handing over a thick book, "The minister summed up what he had seen and heard over the years, and wrote down this book of excerpts, and I hope His Majesty will adopt it." β
Yu Wenrui took it, felt the heaviness in his palm, and said with emotion: "Mr. is attentive!" β
She flipped two pages and said with a smile: "The content of the gentleman's compromise is very similar to the 'Three Princes' of the Qin Dynasty." β
Pei Chonghui said with a straight face: "It's like, it's not like." β
"I want to hear about it."
"Qin Yingzheng unified the six countries and established the 'Three Princes and Nine Secretaries System'. The so-called 'three dukes' are the prime minister, the captain, and the imperial doctor. The prime minister is in charge of the government, the lieutenant is in charge of military affairs, and the imperial historian manages the classics and supervises hundreds of officials; The Taiwei and the Imperial Doctor are the prime minister's deputies. But the 'three dukes' mentioned by the minister are the prime minister, the captain and the secretary. The prime minister was in charge of the administration of the imperial court, the taiwei was in charge of the military, and the secretary was in charge of the formulation and enforcement of laws; The three are parallel to the Son of Heaven, not subordinate to each other, each performing its own duties, and each is responsible to the Son of Heaven. β
Yu Wenrui didn't seem to understand when he heard it, and said with a wry smile: "I'll tell you the truth, sir, don't laugh at me." β
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"What the gentleman said, I really sound a little confused, it seems to be a little ...... Hmm, how do you describe it? She furrowed her brow, unable to think of the right words for a moment.
Seems a little ahead of its time, right? Pei Chonghui silently supplemented her in his heart, silently spreading his hands.
"Your Majesty can imagine reads;. This is also written by the minister who has seen and heard for more than 30 years and summarized the gains and losses of all dynasties. His Majesty was ignorant for a while, and it was understandable. β
Yu Wenrui flipped a few more pages, "Mr. Pei has thought very carefully about the details of the imperial court system, and I am afraid that I will not be able to finish reading this excerpt for a while." β
Pei Chonghui nodded and said: "National change is not in a hurry, and now the situation in Beizheng is becoming increasingly tight, which is the top priority." As for the minister's twists and turns, please also ask His Majesty to take a detailed look, one day when His Majesty conquers the unification of the Northern Zheng world, the minister believes that this twist and turn will be used. β
"Don't worry, sir, I'll take a closer look."
"Your Majesty, the minister has one more important word."
"Sir, please."
Pei Chonghui said in a deep voice: "The minister thinks that the rise and fall of all dynasties and dynasties are rooted in people. If there is a clear monarch and a minister, the country will be governed and the people can enjoy a prosperous era; If the emperor is in power, he will inevitably run rampant, and the people will suffer and their lives will be miserable. In this way, isn't the rise and fall only tied to the Son of Heaven? The people also have to burn incense and chant Buddha from time to time to pray for a 'good emperor'? I don't think it should be like this! There are few and far between, and instead of relying on the rule of man, it is better to rely on the rule of law. Relying on a good system is far better than relying on good people. β
Yu Wenrui's heart moved. She realized that something was shattering in her heartβ
It was a door, a heavy, dusty, and swarthy door, which slowly cracked open one after another because of Pei Chonghui's words, until it finally shattered into the dust. What unfolded before her eyes was a whole new world.
"Senior Sister Chai, are you looking for me?"
In the dark night, Yu Wenrui sat side by side with an indifferent Chai Qi and sat on the top of the Changhuan Pavilion.
"Yours!" Chai Qi untied the "non-attack" tied to his back and stuffed it into Yu Wenrui's arms.
Yu Wenrui looked at the seal characters on the quaint sword in his arms, froze, and woke up after a while: "Yang Lie was killed by you?" β
When Chai Qi heard this, he rolled his eyes, and said in his heart, sister, I don't care about your business, meat eaters seek it, sister, I am a vegetarian!
"Not me."
"Who's that?" Yu Wenrui asked anxiously.
Chai Qi's snow-colored eyes swept over her, "...... do you know?"
Yuwen Rui suddenly got up, "Yes...... Is it the little eighth sister? β
Chai Qi did not deny it.
She ...... Why did she kill Yang Lie? How is she? Are you hurt? β
Chai Qi stared at Yu Wenrui's palm that was still trembling lightly on his sleeves, raised his eyebrows slightly invisibly, and said coldly: "She's dead." β
"Little Eighth Sister...... She's dead? Yu Wenrui was shocked and looked at Chai Qi in disbelief.
"Well, badly wounded, bleeding out, and dead." Chai Qi replied plainly, as if he was talking about the most ordinary thing.
Yuwen Ruideng's heart was like a knife, he staggered and sat on the ground, and then suddenly jumped up, "Why didn't you save her?" You're also quite skilled in medicine......
"Little junior sister," Chai Qi intercepted her words, "No matter how good I am in medicine, I can save the living, but I can't save the dead!" β
