Chapter 18: The Man Who Wants to Face

The lights in the hall are bright, and the candles are warm, and a person outside the hall is seen walking slowly.

The laughter in the hall was lost, and the officials looked outside the hall.

The atmosphere is quite weird, Twilight Qing can't help but raise his eyebrows, condense outside the hall, see people entering the hall, covered in the ferret big cloud, the cold wind blows into the hall, half of the hall is fragrant.

Twilight sat at the end of the table, smelling the smell of the medicine, which was very different from the smell of the medicine bag she was carrying when she was at home in Jiangnan, and she couldn't help but hold her breath to distinguish it. At this time, I saw that the person who came took off his hood, but the man was not crowned, his black hair was loose, and his face was half low.

The palace lamp illuminates the face, the person who sees it holds his breath, all seem to see the warm spring, the breeze valley, the gardenia is full of mountains, the scenery of the world is thousands, the scenery of the alley is difficult to compare with this person, only the mountains and rivers outside the world can be compared with one or two.

Qingsheng, this is the impression of Twilight Qing when she first saw Wu Jin.

Tonight, the snow is fine, the hood is stained with snow particles, Wu Jin unraveled the big coat, the snow robe with wide sleeves under the coat, he has been in the north for many years, but he still does not lose the beauty of the south.

Wu Jin shook a few times, and the palace people at the gate of the palace saw it and didn't pick it up, as if they knew his habits. Sure enough, Wu Jin shook off the snow particles and put the big coat back on his body, there was a brazier in the hall, and none of the officials wore a coat, but he wore a big coat to enter the table, as if he was quite afraid of the cold of the northern country.

Wu Jin's seat was next to the Wuhu envoy, and after sitting down, the voice of the hundred officials talking to each other was much lower, and it seemed that they had talked about it before, but Du Qing glanced at the court official opposite Wu Jin, and was quite interested in the state of the hundred officials.

At this time, Yuan Xiangguo smiled and said: "The prince doesn't drink, the prime minister replaces the wine with tea, and the prince Xie went to the house yesterday to treat the dog." ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the hall, and hundreds of officials came together.

Wu Jin smiled lightly, shook his head and said: "The poison of Rui Gongzi has not yet been resolved, and I have never seen that poison, and I still need to study it carefully for a few days, so I don't need to thank him too early." ”

Yuan Xiangguo also shook his head, his face was heavy, "The dog has a strange poison in his body, this poison is in the desert palace, it is rumored that the underground palace is the mausoleum of the Siamese Emperor, a thousand years of poisonous insects, rare in the world, the dog can keep his breath and go back to the house The old man has been grateful to God, and he dare not ask too much, the prince can come to take a look, and the old man has been grateful." ”

Twilight Qing looked at Yuan Xiangguo's heavy state and smiled coldly in her heart.

There are a lot of hidden meanings in these words.

Yuan Rui's poisoning is the intention of the Empress Dowager and Yuan Xiangguo, Yuan Xiangguo should not have expected the concubine to come back alive, but since the person has returned to the house, there is a poison doctor in Shengjing, and if you don't invite back to the house to treat the poison for the son, it will definitely arouse suspicion, but the person invited to the mansion, and I don't want Yuan Rui's poison to really be solved, as soon as Yuan Rui wakes up, Wu Zheng's assassination of him will naturally not be hidden.

Yuan Xiangguo's words not only implied Wu Jin's meaning, but also said this in front of hundreds of officials in the main hall, and he was also suspected of pretending to be a loving father.

Wu Jin didn't seem to hear it, and smiled lightly, his voice was like a clear spring, "This king should do his best." ”

Yuan Xiangguo's face was as usual when he heard this, but his hand holding the teacup paused slightly, and then smiled and saluted Wu Jin, bowing his head and drinking tea.

Seeing this, hundreds of officials comforted one after another.

"Xiangye and relieved, King Jin is known as the name of the holy hand of poisonous medicine, and there is no solution to all the strange poisons in the world.

"Master Hou is trapped in the quicksand of the desert, Rui Gongzi is thousands of miles away to rescue, the brotherhood is deep, and the lower officials are all moved! If the wise prince can return to the capital, it must be because the heavens feel his righteousness, and the prince will be able to survive this catastrophe. ”

"Xiangye assists the saint and works for the country, this is a great virtue, and he will be able to bless the son."

"Exactly, exactly!"

For a while, the voices of consolation and welcome came and went, and Yuan Xiangguo's face was still heavy, and he sighed frequently.

Yuan Xiu had a calm face, didn't look at his father, turned his head to look outside the hall, the night was not as dark as the man's eyes, the palace lamp was shaking, and he saw pain.

There was also mockery in Twilight's eyes, but there was also suspicion. Yuan Xiangguo acted like this in front of Yuan Xiu, he should not know the truth about what he knew, but how could he not know? Wu Zheng should have confessed to Yuan Xiu at that time, and then Yuan Xiu put Wu Zheng under house arrest in the general's mansion, and even the Qingzhou army in Jialan Pass City was also placed under house arrest. When the class returned to the court, Wu Zheng took the Qingzhou army out of the pass and ran back to Qingzhou, Yuan Xiu thought about the reputation of Yuan Xiangguo, and did not send Wu Zheng to the official, but with Yuan Xiu's temperament, it was impossible to hold this matter in his heart after returning home, and he would definitely ask the Empress Dowager or Yuan Xiangguo for the reason. Yuan Xiangguo talked about this matter in front of hundreds of officials tonight, obviously Yuan Xiu didn't return home until noon, and he didn't have time to ask.

What about Wu Zheng?

Wu Zheng smashed the matter, and this matter was known to Yuan Xiu again, he had no freedom when he was under house arrest in the general's mansion, and after leaving the customs, he should have communicated with Jingzhong to explain these things. But he didn't even say it, could it be that he was afraid that he would be condemned by the DPRK for doing something wrong, so he boldly concealed it?

Wrong! Since he told Yuan Xiu and Pan about this matter, he should have expected that Yuan Xiu would question Yuan Xiangguo when he returned home, so it was useless for him to conceal it, but he was guilty of concealing it and not reporting it.

Why is Yuan Xiangguo still kept in the dark?

The news didn't arrive, or did something happen to Wu Zheng?

Twilight Qing was pondering, Yuan Xiangguo glanced at her in the tea room, although the hundred officials had arrived, but the Wuhu envoy and the holy driver had not yet arrived, and there was still some time to leave the table, so he raised his eyes to give some court officials a look, and glanced at Twilight Qing again.

The court officials understood, and some people immediately laughed, and said loudly: "Tonight the hall is full of colleagues, Hou Ye triumphant, although I haven't seen him for many years, I have seen it in the past, only a few generals are in the northwest, tonight is the first time to get together, General Yingrui is a new to the court, the general has not said a word since he entered the palace, but he has been running all the way, tired and uncomfortable?" ”

The court official wore a second-grade official uniform, and greeted a fourth-grade military attachΓ© with great affection, and he was still from a lowly background, which can be regarded as kind. However, there were people in the hall whose expressions changed slightly because of this, and they all looked at the twilight and looked at it.

This morning, the general of the Northwest Army was still enthroned, and one person overshadowed the commander, this young man.

Yuan Xiu is the son of the Yuan family, with a noble birth, and ten years of military achievements, so it is expected that he will be crowned a marquis. This week, the young man surnamed Zhou is a lowly family, and he can't even reach the background of the Shu family, but he jumped from a pariah to a fourth-grade military attache in half a year!

I heard that she saved Yuan Xiu, and Yuan Xiu treated her very well.

I heard that she had saved the New Army, and the officers and men of the New Army supported her.

I heard that she was quite a good person, quite good at autopsy, and good at judging cases, not to mention, the murder of Li Ben in Fengxian County, Yuezhou was solved by her. But after the case was solved, she actually took the murderer of the case by her side.

I heard that she is quite a genius, good at solving mechanisms, and good at tricks.

There are so many rumors about this young man that he can write a book and take it to the teahouse and restaurant to tell the story. However, a lowly person is a lowly person, and after Fan Gaoyang and Liu Huai and others from the DPRK and China Council and the embassy returned, they attacked this person a lot, and this person had a cold and hard style, and he did not know the way of being an official, so it was difficult for him to take on a big job.

Because of this, although this young man is in the limelight, Chao Chinese Wu did not take her to heart.

But tonight, the people of the Yuan faction have a kind attitude towards it, and they have to think deeply about the meaning.

Since the beginning of the Jiangnan conscription, the DPRK and China have been fighting openly and secretly for the post of Governor of the Water Division, Yuan Xiangguo has not expressed his position, but tonight his henchmen are so kind to this young man, do you want to reuse this person? The generals brought back by Yuan Xiu to the court are all Jiangbei people, and they are not good at water warfare, and only one person is the Jiangnan people, and this young man is this! This person was not a military general before joining the army, and he may not know about the water war training, but after all, she is a Jiangnan clan, and she saved Yuan Xiu's life, she no longer knows the way of being an official, and it is not impossible for the Yuan family to reuse her to repay Yuan Xiu's kindness.

Thinking of this, all the princes and princes frowned, and their eyes were not good.

At this time, I heard Twilight reply, "Lonely." ”

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were stunned, and the officials of the court were also stunned.

Yuan Xiu turned his gaze back, and his heart was originally panicked, but he laughed helplessly because of this.

Not again!

Wu Jin was stunned, and followed the prestige to Twilight.

The court official smiled awkwardly, and said to himself: "The general has just entered the court, and he must not know your lords, so you can ask this official about this matter, and this official is ......."

"Not necessarily." Twilight interrupted the official's words, looking very ignorant.

This was discussed between her and Han Qichu last night, if someone tries her at the palace banquet tonight, or someone tries to make friends, although she deals with it coldly and hard, the more enemies she makes, the better the chance of winning the water master's case.

Twilight Qing glanced at the civil official, and remembered that he was the one who greeted the Yuan Xiangguo and called him the person who worked hard for the country, so he added in a cold voice, "The lower official and the adult have not been all the way, so there is no need for deep friendship." ”

Her cold and hard rejection made the princes quite surprised, I heard that this person's style was cold and hard a few days ago, but I didn't expect it to be ordinary cold and hard.

The civil official had already heard of Twilight's style from Fan Gaoyang, Liu Huai and others, but tonight he just heard the meaning of Xiangye and tested her. When he opened his mouth to test her, he was ready to look bad on his face, and he didn't expect to be rejected so thoroughly after just saying two words.

The civil official was a little annoyed, he was a scholar and a pariah, and the other party was so ignorant, even sour people like Chen Youliang, the assassin of Bianzhou, also knew how to greet him, but this person didn't even know how to greet him!

The civil official couldn't suppress the fire in his heart, thinking that what the prime minister wanted to see had already seen anyway, this young man really didn't understand the world, and he had the ability to make enemies, so he asked: "The official is curious, the general said that he is not a person from the same way as the official, I don't know which way the official is in the eyes of the general, and which way the general is the person?" ”

This question is poisonous, the Yuan party in the DPRK and China is very powerful today, and although some princely families may not be the Yuan party, they do not compete with the Yuan family. The heart of the Yuan family is known to both the DPRK and China, but if you know it, you know it, but this matter is a layer of window paper that cannot be pierced.

This young man acted so coldly, he shouldn't have been reckless and reckless, right?

If she really dares, I'm afraid it will be difficult to live until tomorrow.

Yuan Xiangguo looked at Twilight Qing, but he was thinking about something else, he had been worried that this young man was a saint, who was she? He wanted to hear her answer.

But I heard Twilight answer: "The one who wants face! ”

The four characters are crisp, and the words are like whips, which make the faces of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty rich.

The civil official's face is pale, and he wants to be a face-to-face person? She wants to face all the way, that is, he is shameless all the way?

Yuan Xiangguo looked at Twilight, his eyes deepening.
