Chapter 19 The Storm is Coming
At the end of the day, in the Feng Mansion of the Ministry of War, Feng Weirin was leisurely enjoying this table full of food, and he seemed to be in a good mood, and the origin of this good mood was Tong Yuan, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department who visited the mansion today. Tong Yuan quietly told him the real reason for King Rui's delay in leaving Beijing, and also revealed the specific details of the five boxes of weapons found from King Rui's mansion. When he first heard the news, Feng Weilin couldn't help but feel a trace of horror in his heart, wondering if this Tong Yuan had discovered something, so he would come to the door to find him?
But the fear vanished after a moment. Because Tong Yuan came to sue him, the case was tried by the Criminal Department, and the Criminal Department hoped that this time it could unite with the Ministry of War to jointly expose King Rui's crimes, and hoped that the Ministry of War could confirm that these weapons were not cast by the Ministry of War, but that King Rui sent someone to smelt them privately. Feng Weirin is the person next to the emperor, he knows that King Rui has always been a big trouble for the emperor, if he can help the emperor eradicate King Rui this time, of course he is not willing to be left behind. What's more, he knows better than anyone else the origin of these weapons, and if he can get this basin on King Rui's head through this matter, he is naturally more willing than anyone else.
Feng Weirin picked up a piece of chicken and stuffed it into his mouth, immersed himself in his own careful thoughts. Suddenly, the housekeeper stepped forward and reported: "Master, Lord Yue of the military department is asking to see you outside the door."
"Yue Xuan? What is he going to do at this hour? Feng Weirin was stunned for a moment, put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, and said, "Take him to the side hall and let him wait for me there." ”
After dinner, Feng Weirin walked into the side hall unhurriedly. I saw Yue Xuan sitting on his seat respectfully, and seeing Feng Weirin coming, Yue Xuan hurriedly got up, bowed deeply, and said, "My lord." I don't know that the adult is having dinner, and if there is any disturbance, please forgive me. ”
"Where, I've eaten pretty much." Feng Weilin raised his hand to beckon Yue Xuan to sit down and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Yue Xuan's face was embarrassed, and he hesitated for a long time before he said, "Today... Today, Lord Yin, the commander of the forbidden army, came to look for a humble position. ”
"Yin Zheng, he was your mentor when he was in the army, and it is common sense to come to see you." Feng Weirin said, there was no different color on his face. can then think about it: Why did Yue Xuan come to his mansion in a hurry after seeing Yin Zheng, what happened? Feng Weirin cautiously asked, "Does this have anything to do with your coming to my mansion today?" ”
"There is indeed something." Yue Xuan whispered.
Feng Weirin was also in a hurry, and when he saw the other party's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, he couldn't help but be a little anxious. "What the hell is going on? Say it quickly! Anyway, you're also a soldier, how can you twist and pinch like a girl! ”
"Commander Yin came to find the lowly position today because..."Yue Xuan's eyelashes flickered for a moment, and he hesitated for a long time, as if he mustered up great courage before he spoke, "Because Lord Yin heard that there is a private manuscript of the "Examination of the Work Record" in your house, so I have come to look for the lowly position, and I hope that the lowly position will come to borrow it from you. ”
Feng Weirin pursed his lips and said disapprerovingly, "What's the big deal with me?" It turned out to be for this book! This Yin Zheng is also really, if you want to borrow a book, you can't just come to me directly, what else are you going to do? ”
The corner of Yue Xuan's mouth raised a smile with a moon-white breeze, "Commander Yin doesn't have a personal relationship with you on weekdays, and he didn't dare to speak rashly for fear of being too abrupt, so he came to ask for such a trip." ”
"It's just a book! This Yin Zheng, he looks quite bold on weekdays, but he can't imagine that he is so forward-looking, mother-in-law. Feng Weilin was slightly joking in his words, and then got up and said, "You can follow me to the study to find it." ”
"That humble position has thanked Lord Yin for Commander Yin." Yue Xuan raised his hand and covered the chill between his eyebrows and eyes.
After a few days of heavy rain, the capital has truly entered autumn. In the morning, the weather was so clear that there was hardly a single cloud, the sky was blue, and even the sun was so warm and warm. Zhao Qi, the chief of the inner guard, walked in the empty palace alley with a group of little palace maids, but heard a delicate female voice behind him. "Father-in-law Zhao."
Zhao Qi turned around and saw that it was Concubine Chen, the lord of Chenzhi Palace, who called him, and he hurriedly saluted: "The slave pays a visit to Concubine Chen." ”
Mu Qingying smiled, and Bo Shi Fandai's face looked particularly moving. She asked, "Early in the morning, where did Gonggong Zhao go in a hurry with a group of people?" ”
Zhao Qi replied truthfully: "If you go back to the mother, these are the newly selected maids in the palace, and the slave is about to take them to choose for the queen!" ”
According to the rules of the palace, all the palace maids selected by the chamberlain must first be brought to Fengluan Palace for inspection by the queen, and the queen decides which palaces the palace maids go to serve. And select a few of the best palace maids to serve the master in the dormitory of the queen mother, the queen and the favored concubines.
Mu Qing rolled up his sleeves, glanced at the palace maids behind Zhao Qi without a trace, and said slowly: "Oh? So that's what happened. The palace has just come back from the Queen Mother's place, and the Queen Mother is now in the Queen Mother's Palace, accompanying the Queen Mother to worship the Buddha and chant the scriptures, so it is not appropriate to disturb. Such a trivial matter, it is better for the palace to decide for the queen, right? ”
"This...."Zhao Qi frowned, hesitating how to respond. The selection of palace maids has always been decided by the queen, but now Concubine Chen suddenly took over this matter, and both sides are unprovoked lords, so he really agrees, and it is not okay if he does not agree.
Mu Qing narrowed his narrow phoenix eyes slightly, and asked lightly, "What?" Does Gonggong Zhao feel that the palace has no right to share the queen's worries? Or do you think that this palace doesn't even have the qualifications to choose a few little palace maids? ”
Although Mu Qing's tone was light and light, every word was like a fine needle in cotton, and Zhao Qi broke out in a cold sweat when he heard it. Zhao Qi is also a shrewd person, and understands that now this Concubine Chen is a celebrity in the eyes of the emperor, and the limelight is close to the queen, of course he does not dare to offend. So he smiled flatteringly and said: "The slave doesn't dare, the mother has a unique vision, and naturally understands the thoughts of the queen and the queen mother best, then there is Lao Niangniang." ”
Mu Qingyou glanced at the group of little palace maids, pointed at the two girls with big watery eyes with a slender finger, and said, "These two look smart and clever, go to the queen's Fengluan Palace." ”
She walked up to the two girls with their heads lowered again, "The Queen Mother likes to be quiet and duty-wise, so let's pick these two who seem to be quite honest." In the end, he pointed at random, "As for the main palace, choose these two, and the other concubines, you can do it yourself." ”
Zhao Qi had already memorized the order of the palace maids selected by Concubine Chen, "The servants understand that they will be assigned to the palaces of each master later." ”
Mu Qing smiled lightly, and said warmly: "Well, then you go quickly, don't delay the errand." ”
Inside the palace walls with beautiful autumn colors, a strong wind suddenly blew out of nowhere, raising the woman's gorgeous skirt slightly. Mu Qing looked at the back of a group of people leaving, and a touch of murder appeared on his originally innocent face.
