In the summer of the eighteenth year of Changxi, the thick clouds of the haze of the war in the south were approaching, and the weather was dull and rainy for many days, but there was never a happy next one, and Emperor Tiansheng's face was as depressed and sluggish as this day, and the palace people who came in and out were tiptoeing, for fear that a louder breath would also cause a storm. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Fortunately, there are also scholars of Wei as their saviors - Emperor Tiansheng often summons Feng Zhiwei into the palace, not necessarily talking about national affairs, more often just playing chess, drinking tea and chatting about some gossip, Feng Zhiwei's temperament has always been very fond of the appetite of the old emperor, neither like ordinary courtiers who cowered and cautious and did not dare to come out, nor like Xin Ziyan's kind of literary ministers who are too uninhibited, she is gentle and moderate, humble and not formal, and her words and actions are just right, and she can win every few games when she plays chess, and then often talk to Emperor Tiansheng, the scenery of the South China Sea, the magnificent grassland, and the people of Xiliang, Emperor Tiansheng gradually felt that if he didn't talk to her for a day, his heart would be empty.

Feng Zhiwei was called to the west pavilion of the Shou'an Palace where Emperor Tiansheng was resting early this day, the weather was hot, the carved flowers on all sides had rolled up even the long windows and thin bamboo curtains, and the palace people carefully sprinkled the ground with cold water to cool down, Feng Zhiwei stepped on the water and clicked over, and heard the happy voice of Emperor Tiansheng through the door: "Wei Zhi is here?" Get out of here, be careful of slipping your feet. ”

Feng Zhiwei stepped forward and said with a smile: "Ice is already used in the Weichen Mansion, and Your Majesty is still washing the floor with cold water?" The Internal Affairs Office really didn't care, and Ming'er Weichen went to argue with them to go to Bing. As he spoke, he saluted Emperor Tiansheng.

"I asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs not to send ice." The abrupt addition of a sentence made Feng Zhiwei stunned, and when he turned around, he saw Ning Yi sitting next head, she went from the light to the dark, her eyes were still black and mushy, and her attention was on the emperor, she didn't notice that he was also there, the two looked at each other, and each smiled, and Emperor Tiansheng didn't pay attention to the two eyebrows and eyes, and took her hand and said: "Excuse me, what is this wet kneeling." He added, "The sixth brother said, I am old, and I am afraid that I will hurt my vitality with ice, but he is not allowed, and I dare not ask for it." He shook his head as he spoke, with a smile between his eyebrows.

"Your Highness is right, it's Wei Chen who didn't think about it." Feng Zhiwei turned around and smiled and gave Ning Yi a salute, "Your Highness is free today, are you here to talk with Your Majesty?" ”

"I really want to talk to Your Majesty, but unfortunately Your Majesty is more interested in your chess skills." Ning Yi's smile became more and more divine in the dark, with a bit of submersion, "There are some details that need His Majesty's royal approval, but they have also been discussed." As he spoke, he bowed to Emperor Tiansheng and said, "Since my father has agreed, my son will take it to Haoyunxuan to use the seal." ”

Emperor Tiansheng said "um", glanced at the notebook on the table, and there was still a little hesitation in his expression, Feng Zhiwei glanced at the top is the 100,000 mountains joint book, this proposal was not issued when it was presented to the emperor, presumably Emperor Tiansheng was not able to figure out the deep meaning of Ning Yi, and felt that it was a bit inappropriate to reform the 100,000 mountain laborers at this moment, so he left it there, and Ning Yi specially urged it again.

It seems that the emperor agreed?

Feng Zhiwei's eyes flashed and he didn't move, he picked up the teapot and poured tea for Emperor Tiansheng, his hand just shook, and Ning Yi on the side suddenly raised his hand to hold her arm, and said with a smile: "Scholar Wei, be careful, don't spill water and get dirty." ”

Feng Zhiwei's eyes flew out from the top of the teapot, and when he met Ning Yi's raised eyes, they each felt that there was a Venus bursting out, and then they quickly got out of the way.

She intended to reappear in front of the emperor with the recital of the 100,000 mountains, causing the emperor to ask her opinion, but as soon as he raised his hand, he extinguished her calculations.

"How so?" Feng Zhi pursed his lips and smiled, poured tea for Emperor Tiansheng, Ning Yi had already put away the music book and stood up, it was obvious that he didn't want to stay here longer, worried about Emperor Tiansheng's whim, and casually asked Feng Zhiwei's opinion on the matter of the 100,000 Great Mountain Music Book, that woman was clever like a spring to say a few words, and it was possible to turn over from the beginning.

Feng Zhiwei's expression was leisurely, and he smiled as Ning Yi was about to leave in a hurry, and while following the emperor's wishes, he opened the chess game, and casually put a brocade box on the knee of Emperor Tiansheng, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the three volumes of "Tiansheng Zhi" are brought to you by Weichen, these are all editions that have not been published in the world, and Scholar Xin personally reads each chapter, and Weichen has been busy with affairs before - all night, and today I will send it to you." ”

"You haven't had time to see what you gave me last time." Emperor Tiansheng said, "When I am old, my eyes will bloom when I can't see a few lines." What I mean is that a few of you have read it, and then publish it all over the world. ”

"Wechen dare not damage the dragon body, since he should obey the holy order, but the origin of the article to educate the world, once published among the people, it is a model for all generations, Weichen is Bo Dexian, dare not take on this important task, or ask all the Confucians of the Hanlin Academy to read together." Feng Zhiwei smiled and said, "If Your Majesty is lacking in eyesight, then Weichen will read it to you." ”

Emperor Tiansheng was originally concentrating on the chess pieces, but when he heard her sentence "Model for All Ages", he paused with his hand and said with a smile: "That's the case, wait for two games later, and then you can read it to me." ”

Feng Zhi smiled in response, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that Ning Yi's footsteps were about to step out had stopped there, and he couldn't help but say in surprise: "Hey, Your Highness, you-"

Ning Yi turned around slowly, his expression was as usual, and said with a smile: "Erchen is suddenly a little hungry, and I want to ask for some snacks to eat here from my father, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to leave Haoyunxuan." ”

"Gluttonous monkey!" Emperor Tiansheng pointed at him and smiled, "Didn't you just see that I have sent some new snacks here, I haven't tasted it yet, but you are worried about ......?"

"Oops, it smells so good." Feng Zhiwei suddenly sniffed, and said with a sly smile, "Your Majesty, Weichen smelled the bovine frankincense." ”

"You've got a sharp nose." Emperor Tiansheng turned his head with a smile and instructed the chamberlain, "Then give the crisp cheese that was sent before to the King of Chu and the scholar of Wei each a copy." ”

Ning Yi's face stiffened when he heard the cheese, and then he smiled and thanked him.

"Weichen is stained with His Highness's light today, crispy cheese, it's really fragrant." Feng Zhi looked at Ning Yi with a smile, and his eyes narrowed like a fox.

As far as she knew, His Highness hated eating crisp cheese the most......

Ning Yi lifted his robe and sat down beside her, the waiter had already brought the cheese up, the azure porcelain bowl was a chilled white cheese, decorated with finely chopped sesame seeds and walnuts, the color was bright, the faint milk fragrance overflowed, and Ning Yi's face changed again.

"Won't Your Highness eat?" Feng Zhiwei slowly stirred his share with a silver spoon, trying his best to make the frankincense stronger, while smiling and poking his head to look at Ning Yi's little bit of crisp cheese that had not moved.

"The sixth is shy today?" Emperor Tiansheng raised his head when he heard this, pointed at him with the tip of his spoon and smiled, "I remember that you loved all kinds of dairy products when you were a child, and sometimes you didn't eat staple foods all day long, could it be that you don't like them now?" ”

As soon as Emperor Tiansheng said this, Feng Zhiwei, who was sitting beside Ning Yi, obviously felt that his body was shaken, she tilted her head slightly, and saw Ning Yi's long eyelashes drooping, and a dark and gloomy emotion flashed in her eyes for a moment, and then she recovered Lang Ran, and said with a smile: "Thank you father for remembering the preferences of the son when he was young, and the son has been busy with everything in recent years, these snacks are really used sparingly, and the son is grateful to the father for rewarding." After speaking, he closed his eyes and drank the cheese as if he had drunk poison.

Feng Zhi slightly turned his eyes away and looked at the finely chopped floating nuts in the bowl...... The emperor is old and remembers wrongly, the person who loves to eat crisp cheese is not Ning Yi.

Or maybe he never remembered his son's likes and dislikes.

Ning Yi put down a bowl of cheese, his face turned pale, Feng Zhiwei knew that he would be disgusted when he smelled this kind of frankincense thing, let alone eat it, she waited for him and couldn't help but leave quickly, who knew that although Ning Yi's face was not good-looking, he sat so steadily, putting on a look of "I'm full, so I need to eat your chess, I don't see it in your way".

Feng Zhiwei sighed in his heart.

She didn't want to hurt people too much, but Her Highness was too uncooperative.

"Wechen has eaten a lot of crisp cheese, but none of them are as tender and smooth as this time, sweet and mellow." Feng Zhiwei leaned over, handed the cheese bowl to Ning Yi, smiled with a silver spoon, and picked out a long white milk line, "Look, the thickness of this wall, the strong ...... of this fragrance"

"Father, the emperor and the retainer suddenly remembered that there was still an urgent matter that had to be handled immediately, and they didn't dare to disturb you, and the retainer retired slowly." Ning Yi stood up suddenly, finished a series of words quickly and steadily, and turned around with a neat bow.

"Wechen send His Highness!" Feng Zhiwei immediately got up, and quickly picked up the fold he didn't have time to pick up, and Ning Yi was already a step too slow to reach out to get it.

He held the table, leaned slightly, and looked at Feng Zhiwei with a little pale face, Feng Zhiwei held the pile of musicals, and his fingers gently rubbed on the top of the 100,000 mountains joint book.

The eyes of the two met, one was cold and the other was cold.

The intersection is only a moment.

Behind him, Emperor Tiansheng couldn't see the eyes of these two people facing each other, and greeted with a smile, "Wei Zhi, let's start a game......

In the emperor's somewhat vague voice, under Ning Yi's almost non-contemplative gaze, Feng Zhi met his gaze directly, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

Then, without hurry, the fingers flicked slowly.

"Smack."

A fold fell between the two.

"100,000 Mountains, Please Set Up Mountain Officials".

The black script on a blue background, she resolutely intercepted it in front of him.

"Oops!" The playbook fell, Feng Zhiwei's exclamation was already waiting in his throat, and the exit was naturally faster than anyone else's, and then he leaned over, picked up the playbook, and even blew and patted to clean the water traces on it, while repeatedly asking Ning Yi for guilt, "Your Highness forgives you...... Weichen had cheese on his fingers, and his hand slipped ......"

Ning Yi looked at her quietly, there was no movement, he couldn't bend down, as long as he bent over, he was afraid that he would spit out all the cheese, and then it would be a trivial matter to lose his manners in front of the king, if he was provoked, there would be the crime of bullying the king.

Behind him, Emperor Tiansheng's somewhat impatient voice came, "What fold is dirty?" Come and wipe it with a cloth. ”

Feng Zhiwei raised the fold in his hand, and the handwriting faced Emperor Tiansheng, "Your Majesty, it is the fold of one hundred thousand mountains." ”

"That...... Emperor Tiansheng pondered for a moment and said, "Then you take it, and you can also refer to this matter later." ”

"Yes!"

A faint smile appeared in Ning Yi's eyes.

At the last moment, she struck a blow and stopped her.

With her clever tongue and her recent favor, with just a few words, she was able to move the emperor, who was already not very determined, and once again overturn the original approval.

His previous words have all been in vain.

The woman opposite looked at him with a smile, her smile was soft and her eyes were resolute, and she did not have the slightest regret or apology.

He understood what she meant.

In the deer field, you and I can't tolerate soft-heartedness.

If you refuse to cut it with a sword, then I will strike ruthlessly first, and wait for you to fight with your life.

He laughed a little in a trance, if he really wanted her life, he could destroy her by raising his hand, but he was so greedy, he wanted this to be peaceful in the world, and he wanted this peaceful world to have a safe and secure her.

Then let's fight like this, the winner will be known, and see who finally puts it down first.

He let out a silent breath, looked at her deeply, and turned to leave.

The palace behind her was deep, and Emperor Tiansheng was asking her how to deal with the affairs of the 100,000 mountains.

She said with a smile, tactful and to the point, "...... The minister thinks that if she understands General Hua, she must have a good plan to create a hundred thousand mountains, and the court's method is good, and the minister also agrees with the implementation of the whole, but this does not seem to be the best time, it is better to push it back again, and ......wait for the war in the south to settle for a while."

Ning Yi's footsteps paused, and then walked away quickly.

At the corner of a hidden palace wall, he leaned against the wall and vomited, and then called a close eunuch and said, "Quickly inform Scholar Xin to come to my mansion tonight." ”

The eunuch went quickly, he turned around and looked back at the direction of Shou'an Palace, thinking about the set of "Tiansheng Zhi" presented by her, and his eyes were like this sky, the wind and rain were coming, and the haze was gloomy.

In July of the eighteenth year of Changxi, the "Hanoi Book Case" broke out.

The cause is a Hanoi scholar from a remote area, when he entered Beijing for the autumn season, after a drink, he and his companions showed off that they were fellow villagers of Xin University, and boasted that they had a new version of "Tiansheng Zhi", this statement immediately aroused the ridicule of their peers, everyone knows that "Tiansheng Zhi" is a royal book that lasted for five years, headed by Xin University, and collected the world's famous scholars and Confucianism and out-of-print books, but it has just been paid Zi, and has not yet been published in the world, he is a scholar in a remote county, how can he have this book?

The scholar felt speechless after he spoke, he originally planned to play haha, but he didn't want others to let go, a few ridicules, the man was ridiculed, and immediately moved out of a bookcase, opened it, and saw that the blue background silk cover gilt big characters "Tiansheng Zhi", the content is detailed, the excerpts are clear, it doesn't seem to be fake.

Everyone was amazed, and most of them had seen it, but there were a few imperial eunuchs present who were waiting for the scholars, jealous of the fact that this Hanoi scholar had few literary names, and was afraid that he would become his competitor, so he immediately went home to tell the truth, and one of the scholars was the father of the imperial history, and immediately played a book, impeaching the president of "Tiansheng Zhi" Xin Daxue without authorization to circulate the national classics published in the world without imperial approval, and by the way, he also participated in a book of the second assistant Wei Zhi, saying that Wei Zhi was also named the vice president of "Tiansheng Zhi" during his tenure as the director of Qingming Academy, and it is difficult to escape the blame for this matter.

When the chapter was handed over, Emperor Tiansheng was furious in court, and when he roughly flipped through the "Tiansheng Zhi", he was even more furious.

"Bastard!" As soon as the old emperor raised his hand, he smashed the booklet down the Golden Palace, "What version of "Tiansheng Zhi" is this?" Why is there still a volume of "The Death of Dacheng"? Why isn't there that scroll in my hand? ”

The hall was silent, and the two presidents of "Tianshengzhi", Xin Ziyan and Feng Zhiwei immediately came out to be exempted from the crown.

But everyone knows that Wei Zhi is just a passing responsibility, it is obvious that this book is from Hanoi, and it was given to his fellow villagers by Xin University, who was born in Hanoi, but no one knows why it is two versions from Shangcheng Yulan.

Tiansheng seized the country in Dacheng, earlier it was Dacheng's relatives, in the process of being a courtier and seizing the country, it is inevitable that there are some unsightly things, this is the biggest taboo of Emperor Tiansheng, and no one has always been allowed to criticize a word, when Tiansheng just established the country, a group of Dacheng old people wrote poems to ridicule the emperor for not taking the throne, and was immediately punished by the clan, and some of them were dead, and they were also dragged out of the grave to kill the corpse and show the public.

The literati bring disaster to the country, and the world's thoughts must be unified, which is the guideline pursued by the emperors of previous dynasties, and Emperor Tiansheng is naturally no exception.

Xin Ziyan had already been taken care of by Ning Yi before, and he was prepared for this matter, but when he heard the words "The Death of Dacheng" at this time, there was a bang in his mind.

At the beginning, he presided over the revision of "Tiansheng Zhi", according to the practice of historiography, there must be a brief description of Dacheng, after the first draft of the volume of "The Death of Dacheng" came out, it was Wei Zhi, who was the vice president at the time, reminded him that when it comes to the pre-history of Dacheng, he must be cautious, there are some things in this volume that are loyal to historical facts, but I am afraid that I will not be loyal to Your Majesty, he thinks about it, so he withdraws this part that has been compiled, and all kinds of books in the repair office are piled up into a mountain, and then I don't remember where I threw them, how can it appear in another "Tiansheng Zhi" now?

Emperor Tiansheng in His Hall was furious, "Xin Ziyan! When I heard that you had kept the "History of Dacheng Rongxing" in your private room, and also secretly possessed the "Book of Rebelling Ministers and Thieves", I still didn't believe it, saying that you were not such a mad person who failed the king's grace, and did not want you—you had disappointed me so much! ”

"Don't dare—"

"What don't you dare!" Emperor Tiansheng sneered without waiting for him to finish, "I heard that you have set up a shrine in Hanoi?" What benefits did you give them to make the elders of a township so grateful to you? Is it Xu Yirong and wealth, or the future of the dragon's work? ”

His tone was spicy and sarcastic, in recent years, all the ministers have been accustomed to his old and faint state, and they don't want to encounter this kind of thing that violates the bottom line, or they are old and spicy, regardless of 3721, for a pure literati like Xin Ziyan, he even pressed the charge of rebellion.

Everyone thought of the emperor's favor for Scholar Xin a few years ago, and for a moment their hearts swept through the words of heavenly ruthlessness, and the words "accompanying the king" were like accompanying the tiger.

Emperor Tiansheng flicked his sleeves heavily, "Come on, show me the Xinfu family property, and anyone who involves prohibited books and words will submit it in one piece!" ”

There was a dark shock on the golden palace, and Xin Ziyan, who was kneeling under His Royal Highness, pressed his hand on the ground, and remembered in a trance that night that the King of Chu urgently called, and instructed "Quickly destroy all the words and paper documents around you, and bring you daily exchanges and letters, but everything that is put on paper should be taken back and disposed of, and a piece of paper can not be kept." At that time, I still felt that His Royal Highness was making a fuss, but looking at His Royal Highness's solemn expression, he immediately sent someone to deal with it, His Royal Highness also urged him to think about the daily relationship, it is best to even check and deal with his hometown, he saw that His Royal Highness was rare to be so cautious, and he laughed for a while, he was a man of the literati, and he didn't think that anything could be worth being nervous about. Where do you want to get the other party to start from, and even if you want to get it, how can you have it?

Who is it? Who is it? Who is it?

Who is so scheming, so scheming, so ruthless? Quiet in front, thunderous behind?

Suddenly remembered that "Dacheng Rongxing History" and "The Book of Troubled Ministers and Thieves", which were summarized when they first collected the world's books a few years ago, were used to compile the Dacheng volume, and later because the Dacheng volume was withdrawn, he put these two books in his study in Qingming Academy, and then it has not been moved, and he is ready to destroy the final book after the completion of the compilation, in fact, according to the regulations, this kind of book should be destroyed immediately after it is handed over. The literati have always cherished good books, and they don't want to leave this scourge.

"Tiansheng Zhi" was compiled for five years, during which the compiler came and went, and the people who went through it were complicated.

And as soon as the book was written, this happened, and it is clear that someone has been waiting for this day, preparing for this day, for a long time.

When Xin Ziyan thought of someone waiting in the dark for several years, just to give himself a fatal blow when the book was completed, he felt that the skin on his back was shivering, and his whole body was covered with cold sweat.

The emperor in the palace roared, he raised his head a little dazedly, but saw Ning Yi, the head of the ministers, half of his face hidden in the dark light and shadow of the hall, his eyes were dark and cold, staring at a person.

The man knelt beside him, calmly and resolutely, facing Ning Yi's gaze, without flinching in the slightest.

Wei Zhi.
