The early morning in the Imperial City of Jinling is extraordinarily peaceful and peaceful, as if every ordinary morning in the past few decades. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but the look in the eyes of the people who know each other occasionally makes people know the difference, in the middle of the night last night, the sound of fighting in the direction of Yanwangfu, and the movement of the Youzhou army in the city to search for thieves at night is not small. I don't know how many people can't sleep.

Early in the morning, there are many people sitting in the teahouse in the city who eat and eat morning tea. When there were more people, I couldn't help but talk about what happened last night.

"What the hell happened last night?" A middle-aged man who was half a scholar asked his companion while drinking tea. The people around him looked around, lowered their voices and said: "Who knows, but at this time, I dare to make trouble in the Yan Wang's Mansion, and make such a big noise, I'm afraid it's not a trivial matter...... "Now, Jinling City is under the control of His Royal Highness King Yan." In the past two days, news has also come out that His Royal Highness King Yan will... The one is under house arrest. At this time, there are still people who dare to go against the Yan Wangfu, and naturally they are those staunch royalists. It's just that I don't know why His Royal Highness King Yan, who is in power, has no action at all.

One of the people next to him listened to the words of the two, and couldn't help but turn around and say, "Speaking of which, what did His Royal Highness King Yan say before?" Now this ......"

The middle-aged man sneered, "What's wrong with this kind of thing?" From ancient times to the present, how many vassal kings really want to clear the king's side? "Ninety percent of them are going to be cleared up even by that gentleman. King Yan hasn't killed the emperor yet, which is a bit surprising.

"Brother Wang is cautious." The companion next to him hurriedly said. It's okay to gossip, but if someone hears it, they may be out of luck. The middle-aged man obviously knew that he was speechless, and hurriedly changed the topic and said, "I heard that yesterday at the gate of the palace, the county lord of Star City was really majestic." ”

This is not a taboo, and someone immediately responded: "Isn't it? The two sons of the Yan Wangfu couldn't suppress those who made trouble, and the county lord of Xingcheng used to make those people obedient and willing to be punished in just a few words. ”

"Although the county lord of Xingcheng is a woman, even the first emperor praised him. It's really a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows go. ”

As a man, he is always happy to discuss women. Especially when she is still a woman with a beautiful beauty, a noble status, and ordinary people may not even be blessed to look at it. Many people around also spoke one after another, talking about the deeds of the county lord of Star City, and were amazed. It's just that some people appreciate it, but some people can't look at it, and among the people who eat tea, a young scholar snorted lightly and said sharply: "As a woman, I don't teach my husband and children in the house, but I show up and fight with men." If it is really not a woman's way, there are still people who praise and compliment, and throw away the dignity of men like us? ”

There was a sudden pause in the discussion upstairs, and many people's expressions changed slightly. The world is already strict with women, and after hearing this, I have some aftertaste. Some narrow-minded people can't help but wonder, don't they? A woman is so powerful, where to put a man? I heard that the prince of Nawei is also a handsome among the people, and he has been married to the lord of Xingcheng for several years, but he doesn't even have a room girl around him, so he can't be suppressed by such a strong wife.

Some people couldn't hear this, and sneered: "If you are really talented, how can you be taken by a woman?" If you can't even compare with a woman, what qualifications do you have to say about the dignity of a man? Could it be that by detaining a powerful woman in the backyard and not calling her out, and not letting the world know, it can prove that men are better than women? ”

At this point, both those who agree and disagree can't help but look back. I saw a young man of twelve or thirteen years old sitting in the corner of the second floor, looking at the young scholar who had spoken before with a sneering expression. Beside him, however, sat a pair of young men and women, the man was handsome and extraordinary, while the woman wore a veil that made it difficult to see her face.

I only heard the man raise his voice with a smile: "Ah Qiao, you don't understand here." If a person knows that even if he tries hard all his life, he can't compare to a finger of others, his heart will inevitably be pantothenic. But he naturally doesn't think it's his own lack of ability. must think that others are more scheming than him, flattering, or have lost shit luck, or have a good family background. If it is a woman, it will be even more seconds, the woman is naturally uneasy in the room, and she is not even qualified to be compared with him, so she will naturally not be better than him. ”

The young man looked at the young man with a clear look, "I see, is this what the gentleman taught to cover his ears and steal the bell or to deceive himself?" ”

The woman in purple smiled: "No matter what it is, such a person always looks like everyone is drunk, but I am afraid that I will be eroded out of a big hole by acid." Ah Qiao must not learn from such a person. ”

The young scholar just said a word, and originally saw that many people showed a look of approval and were faintly smug, but he didn't expect to be squeezed by the merciless words of these three people in the blink of an eye. Suddenly, his face turned red and he trembled.

Shang Qiao held his chin, raised his eyebrows and said, "Uncle Lin, this son is trembling all over, isn't it a sheep's horn?" ”

Changfeng Gongzi smiled: "Who knows." ”

The young scholar was almost killed by the three of them, and he was speechless for a while. He was only in his early twenties, which was the age of the imperial examination. If people think that he has epilepsy, don't want to be named on the gold list in this life, and become an official.

Changfeng Gongzi is completely unimpressed by such an act of harming others, and dares to say such things in public, and still wants to be an official? Wei Junmo is not a broad-minded person. It's that this person really has some genius, but I'm afraid there is no hope in this life. So... If you want to rise to the top, prudence in words and deeds is the first priority.

Seeing that the young man wanted to say something, Lin Changfeng stood up and walked over to support him and smiled: "Isn't this son really unwell?" Let's go see the doctor first, I heard that this sheep's horn wind, if you are not careful, you will die. ”

The young scholar wanted to refute, but he felt a pain in his waist, and suddenly his body stiffened and he couldn't speak. Lin Changfeng turned around and smiled at Shang Qiao: "Ah Qiao, he is ruthless when you speak, as healthy people, we have to let the patients be some." Take him to see the doctor, if something happens, it's always bad. ”

Shang Qiao nodded, stood up and helped the young scholar downstairs with Lin Changfeng. The woman in purple smiled lightly, then put a corner of broken silver on the table, and then got up and went downstairs.

The guests upstairs were stunned by this sudden change, and it took a long time for someone to say: "That son... Sound familiar? ”

"It's like... The eldest son of the Lin family, right? "I seem to have heard that little boy call him Uncle Lin before?

Many people present couldn't help but change their faces, the eldest son of the Lin family had already severed relations with the Lin family, and now he is following Wei Gongzi. That young scholar...... Remembering what Fang had just discussed, everyone buried their heads in eating tea, and couldn't care to sympathize with the young man who was taken away by Lin Changfeng.

In a small alley on the side of the street, the young man leaned against the wall and looked at the three people in front of him, "Who are you?" ”

Lin Changfeng propped his chin with a folding fan, looked at him funny, and said, "Guess." ”

The young scholar couldn't help but be choked, "You... What do you want to do? ”

The purple-clothed woman behind her smiled lightly: "Young Master Lin, do you know the consequences of speaking ill of the Lord of Star City in Jinling City?" ”

"You are the people of the Lord of Star City?!" The young scholar's face changed slightly, and he raised his chin and said, "I'm telling the truth!" Could it be that the county lord of Star City can kill all the people in the world who say about her? ”

The woman in purple lowered her eyebrows and smiled, "Early this morning, we met a total of thirteen people who said that the county lord of Star City was not, but... Only two of them are like you. You say, "Why do we arrest you and not others?" ”

"I don't understand what you're talking about."

The woman in purple said lightly: "Lin Gongzi, the name is Song, and the word is longevity." He is 21 years old and a native of Jinling. Studying at Ding'an Academy, he taught Yan Tong, and was a proud protégé of Han Min. Ah, those two scholars like Lin Gongzi seem to be Lin Gongzi's classmates? The young scholar's face turned blue and white for a while, and he said angrily: "I don't know what you're talking about!" ”

Lin Changfeng smiled: "Miss Yan, why bother with him? It's just a fool who has been taken advantage of. If we hadn't happened to meet each other, who would have had time to pay attention to the role of these kittens and dogs? ”

Yan Luoyi couldn't help but smile when he heard this, "What Changfeng Gongzi said is, since this is the case......"

Shang Qiao stepped forward and punched the young scholar in the stomach hard. Don't look at his young age and lack of stature, he has practiced martial arts with Nangong Mo and Shang Rong for two years, and beating a weak scholar who has no power is not the same as playing. The young man was punched and fell to the ground, holding his stomach and groaning in pain. Shang Qiao was still angry, and kicked several times, Lin Changfeng saw that he was about to beat people to death before he grabbed Shang Qiao and looked at the man condescendingly: "Go back and tell Han Min that he is also a generation of Confucianism, don't play these boring tricks." The Lord of Star City has never liked to see rivers of blood flowing, so... Tell the old man to be a little more restrained. After speaking, Lin Changfeng threw an unsealed letter to the young man. ignored him anymore, and took Shang Qiao and Yan Luoyi out of the alley.

There were already a lot more people on the street outside, and the three of them strolled through the crowd. Yan Luoyi frowned and asked, "Is it really okay to just let those people go?" ”

Lin Changfeng smiled: "What can those people know? It's just a pawn to be used. It just so happened that Miss Mo was going to pass the word to Han Min, otherwise who would pay attention to them? ”

Yan Luoyi said: "I have been in Jinling for a few years, and the old man Han Min also knows something. If you don't say anything about your stubbornness, you will repay it. I'm afraid that I won't listen to the county lord's persuasion. "The county lord and Wei Gongzi killed Han Min's son, and it would be good if Han Min didn't hate them to the core. Lin Changfeng smiled: "Do you think that only Han Min will see this letter?" This layer of handing up, there are more people who can see it, and there are always some people who are deadly. Miss Mo is also soft-hearted, these people are making a lot of noise at this time, and when His Royal Highness King Yan can move, these people are afraid that few of them will survive. He was really a little suspicious, King Yan chose to detoxify at this time, and he didn't care about everything, did he plan to fish out all these people who were hidden in the shadows and catch them all. After all, if Han Min and Zhou Xiang were killed at the beginning, those people would only hide deeper and hate Yan Wangfu even more. Now let Han Min toss with people like this, and it would be very convenient for King Yan to come back with a praying mantis to catch cicadas and yellow finches.

Yan Luoyi looked up at Lin Changfeng, and the two looked at each other silently. Obviously, they all wanted to go together. Yan Luoyi couldn't help but shudder, and said after a while: "What Lin Gongzi said is right, the county lord is still soft-hearted. However, it is this soft-heartedness that makes people feel reassured. Whether it is Wei Gongzi saving Xiao Qianye, or the letter from the county lord of Star City, it may be a little troublesome, but it makes people feel the benevolence of the superiors. Even if it's fake. King Yan is decisive in killing, and he is as ruthless as the first emperor. It's not just the enemy who is afraid, but also the subordinates. When encountering such a king, one can endure it, and two can endure it, but what if it is three or four. The pressure is too much, and the people under him will not be able to stand it one day.

Compared with the leisurely and comfortable of Lin Changfeng and others, Xiao Qianwei and Xiao Qianchi were busy early in the morning. Since Han Min was rescued, Xiao Qianchi had a faint bad premonition. Sure enough, before he had time to do anything early in the morning, the folds of the Chinese military officials were piled up on the table in the palace study. Although the entire Jinling is now under the control of King Yan, it is impossible for King Yan to replace all the officials after all. The operation of the imperial court cannot be stopped for a moment, and originally these officials were all quite honest, except for a few who reacted violently and were arrested, the rest were honestly running errands in the yamen. I thought I didn't have to worry about these people, but now Xiao Qianchi knows what it means to be a dog that bites people and doesn't bark.

Some of these excerpts asked to release a few important ministers, and some said that the emperor would not be in court for several days, which made the government and the opposition uneasy. There are ministries that ask for appropriations, and the household department calls the treasury empty, and there is no money or food to feed the million-strong army inside and outside the city. There are also local officials who report civil unrest, disasters, plagues, etc., and ask His Majesty to show them. In short, there are many kinds of everything. As if if you don't deal with it immediately, the world of Great Xia will collapse immediately. Outside the main hall of the court meeting in the past, it was full of officials and officials from various ministries, and they all asked to see His Majesty and King Yan.

Xiao Qianchi looked at the stack of tall folds in front of him, and was sweating profusely.

Xiao Qianwei's face was also a little ugly, if it was one or two, he might have dealt with it easily. But all of a sudden, a hundred and ten things piled up in front of him, as if each one was an extremely important event, and he didn't know where to start for a while.

"I've seen two sons." Outside the door, a middle-aged man who looked like a scholar said respectfully.

Seeing the visitor, both of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It's not just those people in the court, but this middle-aged man is a staff member next to King Yan. Although in the past two years, because of the pressure of Nianyuan, the staff around King Yan are not very outstanding, but they are also one of the powerful henchmen around King Yan. In fact, with King Yan's ability and character, it is indeed difficult for the staff around him to be extraordinary. Because King Yan doesn't need too many people to give advice, he can do it himself. These people, only when King Yan really ascends the throne, will the talented ones shine.

"Mr. Su, what's the matter?" Xiao Qianchi asked.

The middle-aged man's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "The six servants are asking to see you at the gate of the palace outside the gate. ”

Of course, Xiao Qianchi knew what they were asking to see, and gritted his teeth and said, "Let them go back first, and see them again when their father is free." ”

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid it won't work, if the two sons don't see them again, the six departments of the imperial court will be suspended." Many affairs are not something that the squire can handle, and the prince is holding on to the six books, and now the matter has rushed to a bunch... There are also Goshidai and Hanlin Temple. Those people clamored to see His Majesty. There are rumors outside that His Majesty has been placed under house arrest by the prince, maybe... has already been killed. ”

"They still dare to make trouble!" Xiao Qianwei said in a deep voice.

The middle-aged man shook his head, "They didn't make trouble. They all knelt down at the gate of the palace. ”

Xiao Qianwei's face turned pale, if those people were noisy at the palace gate, he could also follow Nangong Mo's practice yesterday and be arrested by crashing into the palace gate. But those people just knelt down and begged to see the emperor, not to mention him, even if His Majesty the emperor was afraid of himself, he would have to go to see him in person and listen to the demands of the officials. And most importantly... One or two speech officials can be offended, but no one can afford to offend the entire speech officials of the Imperial History Observatory and the officials of the Hanlin Academy.

Xiao Qianchi only felt dizzy, looked at Xiao Qianwei and asked, "Second brother, how is it now?" ”

Xiao Qianwei's face turned blue and white for a while, gritted his teeth and was silent for a long time, and then said: "Let people go back to the house to see, is my father awake!" ”

Mr. Su sighed, "I just came from the Yan Palace, and the young man said that the prince had just changed almost half of his blood. Within two or three days, I'm afraid I won't be able to wake up. "Even if you wake up......

"What about cousin?" Xiao Qianchi asked.

Mr. Su said: "Wei Gongzi lost half of his body's blood, and he can't get up while lying down. In today's situation, I'm just afraid... It's still going to be hard for the two sons. "As for the third son... Sneaked out of the city early in the morning and mixed with Xue Zhen. In the words of Xiao Sangongzi, the major affairs in the city will be handed over to the eldest brother and the second brother, and the army outside the city will be handed over to this son.

Xiao Qianchi sighed, "What is Mr. Su's good plan?" ”

The corners of Mr. Su's mouth twitched slightly, this situation... Even if he is really a genius, he has no good plan. At a glance, you can see that someone saw the right time to make trouble. Once no one can control the situation, Jinling City, and even the whole world, are afraid that there will be chaos. Sighing, Mr. Su said: "I'm afraid that someone is doing something in secret, and we have to find out who is behind the scenes." As for these things in front of them, I suggest that the two sons might as well consult the county lord of Star City. ”

Xiao Qianwei's face was slightly gloomy, and he said: "My cousin-in-law is indeed outstanding, but I'm afraid that she has never been in contact with the affairs of the DPRK and China." What's more, my father and cousin are both injured, and the palace is afraid that it can't do without my cousin. ”

This is disagreeing, Mr. Su sighed secretly. It is true that the county lord of Xingcheng has never been in contact with the affairs of the court, but she has at least been in charge of Chenzhou and other places, and she has taken care of it properly. The most important thing is that he doesn't value the ability of the county lord of Xingcheng to handle political affairs, these are the affairs of the ministers of the court. Instead, the county lord of Star City is good at stabilizing the situation in the chaos and intimidating people. It's just that...

"The second son is right." The prince said that everything is decided by the three sons, since this is the case, then it is enough. Let's hope it doesn't really make a big mess.

------Off topic------

Why, some relatives said that they didn't understand that King Yan wanted to let the three brothers of the Xiao family fight for Mao. In fact, ambition is something that can't be suppressed, and sometimes the more you press, the easier it is to rebound. King Yan did this to save them. Let them do what they want to do when they are not yet capable and the situation is still under control. Where does the dead heart come from without failure? At this time, the consequences will be smaller, and by the way, you can kill two birds with one stone, if someone really performs amazingly, King Yan doesn't mind giving him a chance. After all, King Yan didn't feel that he would have to pass on the throne to Jun Mo in the future, he just felt that Jun Mo was better and more suitable than the others.

Of course, King Yan can also suppress Xiao Qianwei all the time, but the ending is not that Xiao Qianwei's personality will be distorted in the future, and it is possible that he will die of depression at a young age.

ps: Although King Yan is not a good father, he will not really let his sons kill each other to pave the way for anyone. King Yan pursues the law of the jungle, and the winner is king.
