Chapter Ninety-Three: No Victory
Feng Shu'an's hand stopped above the chess piece, his red lips slightly open, and his face was full of incredulity. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"I lost." Li Feifeng came down the whole game, the sword went sideways, and the way he played chess was completely different from the first step by step, so that he was more cautious in addition to being surprised, and put all his attention on thinking about the number of steps he took in the next few steps, but he couldn't see through what he wanted. He won, albeit by endgame, by skill. But after the whole game of chess, Feng Shu'an didn't see half a flaw, which shows that his mentality is no longer as frivolous and conceited as the first time. However, in just a few days, he has been able to progress so fast, Feng Shu'an has to admire, Li Feifeng is a smart person who really loves chess.
Li Feifeng took out the folding fan in his long sleeves and fanned it pretendically, sometimes stirring his black hair that was scattered at random, sighed a few times, and then took out a maple leaf that had been dried from his arms and handed it to Feng Shu'an: "Take it." ”
Feng Shu'an took the maple leaf and looked around suspiciously, but he didn't see the reason.
"Oops! What to see, this is my exclusive mark. Li Fei glanced at her, "The reason why the endgame is an endgame is that no one has solved it yet, and once the endgame is solved, it can turn defeat into victory." You don't have to rush to make a conclusion when you win or lose this game, wait for when you think clearly, and then take this maple leaf to the Baijian number to the shopkeeper, and then I will come to you. ”
As soon as Li Feifeng finished speaking, before Feng Shu'an could reply, he flew out of the window and disappeared into the night.
"Hey!" Feng Shu'an was very dissatisfied with Li Feifeng's uninvited and unsolicited farewell, but he was helpless. Looking back at the endgame of the table, Feng Shu'an frowned, if this endgame could have been solved, it would have been solved a long time ago, Shen Yuyue's chess skills were higher than her, and she couldn't solve this endgame, how could she solve it? This Li Feifeng can't help but look up to her too much, right?
! Why do you think of that person again?!
Feng Shu'an's worries that had been put aside by a game of chess with Li Feifeng all came back at once, thinking about what would happen in the court tomorrow, and he was worried again. Rubbing her temples tiredly, Feng Shu'an woke up Shui Mo'er and lit a sleeping incense for her, before falling asleep.
The next morning, Zhong Yang, who had been boycotting the dynasty for three consecutive days, finally resumed the early dynasty.
Before Father-in-law Fu could shout, the officials led by the former prime minister knelt down one after another.
"Ask the emperor to retract the canonization decree and execute Zhong Xuan, the demon girl of the country!" Almost half of the people in the entire Xuanshu Hall knelt down to petition, and their voices were as neat as if they had been rehearsed in advance.
"Zhong Aiqing is really a tacit understanding, and the words of the petition are exactly the same." Zhong Yang glanced at it, most of those who did not kneel were officials who did not have a high official position in this palace, or who had always maintained a neutral attitude, but the real power in their hands did not add up to half of the ministers who knelt down, "Then all the Aiqing who are standing now, what do you think of their opinions?" ”
The rest of the people looked at each other, but none of them dared to step forward to answer Zhong Yang's question, this kind of scene, who doesn't want to protect themselves?
Zhong Yang waited for a while, but still no one dared to speak, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and he was about to speak, but Cheng Yuxue, the head of the Hanlin Academy, stood up.
"Your Majesty! The minister believed that since the decree had been made, there was absolutely no reason to withdraw it. The most important thing at the moment should be to clear up the false rumors and maintain the reputation of the royal family. The best thing to do is to bury Princess Renshan in a low-key manner, so as not to arouse the dissatisfaction of the people, and when the rumor passes, a storyteller will be sent to correct Princess Renshan's name. Princess Yuxiang is the sister of the Son of Heaven, with golden branches and jade leaves, and is waiting to be married at the right age, as long as she finds a good family for the princess as soon as possible, the rumors will be self-defeating. ”
Cheng Yuxue's words completely offended the former prime minister's faction, but he did not deliberately flatter the emperor, but really said his opinion. Zhong Yang looked at the head of the Hanlin Academy, who did not have outstanding political achievements and did not talk much, and he didn't know what he was thinking. After all, such an inconspicuous courtier in the Xuan Palace suddenly dared to offend the former prime minister in public, as an emperor, it was difficult for Zhong Yang not to be suspicious.
It's just that Zhong Yang didn't know that Cheng Yuxue's palms were full of cold sweat after saying these words. He was born as a student, and he has been working diligently for more than ten years to climb to the position of the head of the second-grade Hanlin Academy. He is not a person without desires, but he always cares too much about gains and losses, and he doesn't dare to fight or fight, for fear that if he is not careful, he will never recover. He has seen too much of the struggle in the court, so he is even more afraid. It's just that the closer a person gets to the age of no confusion, the more unwilling his career stops here, and if he hadn't received the letter that day, he wouldn't have the courage to stand up and gamble today. It's just that the waiting process is always long, the emperor was silent for a second, he felt that it was a quarter of an hour, from the moment he stood up, if he didn't get the emperor's other eyes, what was waiting for him was only the abyss.
"Cheng Aiqing is reasonable."
The calm tone made Cheng Yuxue's heart completely fall into the ice cave at the bottom of the valley. He strongly restrained his involuntary trembling, shook slightly, and stood back in the queue. Cheng Yuxue, whose eyes had always been afraid to look elsewhere, didn't notice that when he trembled slightly, a trace of appreciation flashed in the emperor's eyes.
"Your Majesty! The minister thinks that Lord Cheng's words are not feasible! Nowadays, the rumors are not as simple as people talking to each other in private, but they have spread out of Kyoto, and everyone dares to talk about the royal family at the dinner table. If the rumors continue to spread, the reputation of the royal family will be irretrievable! Ye Shumao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, looked distressed and persuasive, and there were still two lines of tears on his old face, which was a real appearance.
"Oh? So what does Ye Lao think should be done? ”
"The old minister implores the emperor to withdraw the canonization will and execute Princess Yuxiang!" Ye Shumao burst into tears, his head hit the ground heavily, and he looked like he wouldn't get up if you didn't agree.
Zhong Yang sneered: "Ye Lao, is this going to force you?" ”
"The old minister doesn't dare! The old minister's words come from the bottom of his heart, and I hope that the emperor will not be blinded by traitors! ”
"You mean, I'm a foolish person who can be easily deceived? Ye Lao, since you are so smart and knowledgeable, and you like to give me ideas. Zhong Yang smiled obviously, but his gaze was so gloomy that it made people shudder, "It's better for you to be the emperor." ”
"Don't dare!" Ye Shumao lowered his head, in the eyes of outsiders, he was extremely scared, but Zhong Yang knew in his heart that he was afraid that he would not be extremely angry! Back then, he stood with him in this Xuanshu Palace, but now he is more than ten years younger than him, but he is high, not to mention him, even many courtiers are respectful on the surface and dissatisfied.
"Your Majesty, Ye Shangshu has served as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites for many years, and what he said is not unreasonable." The one who spoke for Ye Shumao was Wu Shuai, the Cheng of Jingzhao Mansion.
"Well, since you are so unanimous, then give me a detailed explanation of the reasons for me to withdraw my will." (To be continued.) )
