Chapter 117: Trade-offs

Fu Qizheng glanced back at the figures of the two internal supervisors who hurriedly left, turned around and said to Nian Jin'an Xiao beside him: "Secretly investigate this matter." ”

Nian Jin'an bowed his head and said: "The slave understands. ”

When he arrived at Qianning Palace, he saw Li Changhai guarding outside the palace, and when he saw Fu Qizheng coming, he hurriedly greeted him: "Concubine Aya, Xia Shangshu is inside, Niangniang will stay for a while." ”

Fu Qizheng was puzzled: "Xia Shangshu, which Xia Shangshu?" ”

Li Changhai replied: "It is Lord Xia Mingxu Xia, the secretary of the Ministry of War." ”

Fu Qizheng was shocked when he heard this, the queen mother still did it, so that the queen has one more person to support her, I am afraid that it is not so easy to fall, this period of time I have lived in a shallow way, although there are years of Jin'an to inform some things in the palace, but the court is lonely and unheard.

"Lord Xia took office today, and he came to Qianning Palace with the emperor to discuss matters after the court, and it has been a long time."

Fu Qizheng glanced at the closed door of the palace, and said: "It's okay, the emperor is busy with political affairs, so the palace will go back first, and there is a public announcement from the labor prince that the emperor has come to the palace." After saying that, he left, and after walking a short distance, he ordered to stop, and said to Liu Yi and the others, "This palace wants to walk around, you go back first." ”

"How can the master ......," Liu Yi said worriedly.

Nian Jin'an said: "The slave and maid accompany the mother." ”

Fu Qizheng nodded, said no more, and walked away with Jin'an.

Nian Jin'an saw Fu Qizheng thinking a little all the way, and said: "Niangniang, don't worry, the slave will definitely find out who is pretending to be a ghost." ”

"This palace is not worried about this, pretending to be a ghost is just trying to scare this palace, if this palace doesn't believe it, what can she do to me." Fu Qizheng sighed lightly, "It seems that the Queen Mother has not been idle in the past few months, but how did the Queen Mother fulfill Xia Mingxu, the position of Shangshu could fall to Xia Mingxu so easily, he is just a member of the military department, and there are left and right waiters on it, how can everything go so smoothly." Fu Qizheng knew in his heart that there must be a perfect reason behind Xia Mingxu's ascension, otherwise how could there be no opposition in the court, even if Wang Fei and the two families strongly recommended it, the Fu family and the Qin family should also be contained.

"Look at her like that, that is, this concubine, who is a sister, is willing to go and see her."

"Master, the queen seems to have never treated her master as her own sister."

"What about the queen, in the end it is not as good as this concubine, although this concubine is just a noble person now, but she has a comfortable life, look at what happened to her as a queen, what about her daughter, what about the niece of the queen mother, now that this concubine is still free, she is imprisoned here." Wang Ji turned back in the direction of the queen's bedroom and said indignantly

The palace maid raised her eyes and saw Fu Qizheng, and hurriedly pulled Wang Xi's sleeve: "Master, don't say it." ”

Fu Qizheng looked at the situation, and really walked outside the queen's palace, Wang Ji turned around and saw Fu Qizheng, so he stopped talking, and owed with heavy eyes: "Concubine Aya." ”

"Wang Guiren is exempt, you and I have entered the palace together but have never been in contact with each other too much, it is inevitable that I will be rusty if I continue like this, and my aunt is also here today, Wang Guiren is willing to accompany the palace for a walk?"

"The concubine is naturally happy." Wang Ji said, and then walked through the palace road with Fu Qizheng.

Fu Qizheng smiled: "When I learned in Chulan Palace, I learned that Wang Guiren was the daughter of the Wang family, the sister of the queen's mother, which made the sisters envious." ”

"What kind of sister, she never treated me as a sister at all, not at home, not in the palace." Wang Ji complained.

Fu Qizheng was very surprised: "How come? Since it is a family, the queen should take special care of the royal nobles. ”

Wang Ji said angrily: "Isn't she just ......?"

"Master." The palace maid interrupted Wang Ji's words in a hurry, and Wang Ji realized that her words were inappropriate, so she said with heavy eyes, "The concubine's casual words made Concubine Aya laugh." ”

"It doesn't matter, this palace is very concerned about the sisterhood of the past, and now all the sisters have their own blessings, it is rare for you and I to be able to talk together today, although the nobles can speak freely."

"Yes, each has its own blessings, even Lan Ronghua, who was from a humble background, is now above the concubines, speaking of which, Lan Ronghua and Concubine Aya should be good sisters." Wang Ji said unwillingly.

Fu Qizheng smiled slightly: "Lan Ronghua and the palace are in Pingshui, how can it be compared to the family relationship between the royal nobles and the queen's blood dissolved in water, the palace is the concubine, Wenyue is Ronghua, and what the palace can do is far worse than the queen's mother." ”

"Although Niangniang and Lan Ronghua are only happy to be friends and enjoy together, the concubine is probably not as good as a Shu concubine in the eyes of her sister and the queen mother. Wang Ji's expression was a little sneering.

Fu Qizheng hurriedly said: "Just say this in front of the palace, don't let others hear it." After walking for a while, the two talked a lot, and Fu Qizheng roughly knew something from Wang Xi's words.

"Niangniang, we should go back, and the emperor should come to Jingyi Palace in a while."

Fu Qizheng then said: "Chatting with Wang Guiren, I almost forgot about it, today I can't talk with Wang Guiren for a long time, but this palace feels that I have a relationship with Wang Guiren, if Wang Guiren is free, you might as well come to Jingyi Palace to sit." ”

"Yes." Wang Ji owes herself.

When Fu Qizheng walked away, the palace maid asked, "Doesn't the master think that Concubine Aya is so polite to the master today, it's a little strange?" ”

Wang Ji smiled slightly; "Concubine Aya's holy family is long, this concubine will definitely not suffer if she is good friends, anyway, the queen and the queen mother never look at this concubine properly, this concubine might as well gamble with Concubine Aya, and look at the Wen family, won't the Wen family follow Concubine Aya a lot of light?"

Fu Qizheng said to Nian Jin'an while walking: "Go back and pick out some good treasured jewelry to send to Wang Ji, although she is a person that the queen mother and the queen do not want to see, but her surname is Wang, and there must still be people listening to her in that house." ”

He stopped his steps and thought for a while, "This palace always feels that the play played by those two chamberlains is not so simple, and their words seem to be leading this palace to the criminal division, and then the main palace to the criminal division to see." ”

"Niangniang is pregnant, and that place is ...... unlucky."

"Just look at it at the door, if there is nothing unusual, it is the palace is hearty." Fu Qizheng said lightly, and then moved to the Criminal Division. Before they reached the door, they saw people coming and going, and most of them looked panicked.

"Minions, see Ayafei Niangniang." An inner warden came and saluted.

Fu Qizheng looked at the man's eyes and asked, "Are you?" ”

"The slave is Zhang Wan, the head of the Criminal Division."

"Since you are the chief manager, where is the former Gonggong Wang?"

"After the last Yufei case, the emperor was furious, the queen interceded to spare his life, and punished him with a cane and sent him to hard labor, a few days ago I heard that he was good and gone, and I don't know if it was Yufei girl who was too resentful and came to take revenge."

"It's strange to say, Bengong has often dreamed of Yufei recently, and he blamed Bengong for failing to save her." Fu Qizheng sighed.

"I can't hide it from my mother, the Criminal Division has been full of strange things recently, the beam in the torture room has broken somehow, and it almost collapsed, and I can always hear some strange sounds late at night, or laughing, or crying, and the people in the Criminal Division are panicking, and they all say that Miss Yufei has come to seek revenge."

Nian Jinan asked, "Then why isn't my father-in-law afraid?" ”

"After Wang Quan left, the slave took office, and Miss Yufei and the slave have no grievances, so naturally there is no need to be afraid, but the people who tortured Yufei in the past were inexplicably stained with strange things, some crazy and some sick, none of them escaped."

"The more Grandpa Zhang talks, the more mysterious it becomes." Fu Qizheng looked horrified, and without saying more, he turned around and left with Nian Jin'an.

Leaving the criminal division, he went straight back to Jingyi Palace, and sat in the main hall thinking about it repeatedly, with a sad face.

In the middle of the night, he sat up in shock, panicked, and woke up Emperor Yuan on the side.

"What's wrong?" Emperor Yuan said with concern.

"It's just a nightmare, it's been like this a lot lately, but I don't know how it's getting worse today."

For a few days, Fu Qizheng woke up in a dream, Emperor Yuan was worried, and asked the imperial doctor to come to diagnose the pulse every day, but the tranquilizing drugs prescribed by the imperial doctor seemed to be ineffective, and Fu Qizheng was difficult to sleep in peace.

After Fu Qishu returned to Beijing, she immediately asked to enter the palace to visit Fu Qizheng, and saw that Fu Qizheng looked a little haggard, and she was also worried: "What's wrong with my sister, why can't I sleep at night if I am so dignified." ”

Fu Qizheng said with a smile: "It's the rumors outside that are exaggerated, it's just a lot of dreams, I can't sleep at night, if I don't sleep, won't I toss the child." As he spoke, he took Fu Qishu into the inner hall, covered the door, and said, "My sister is worried about another thing, what tricks did the Fei family use to really get the position of Shangshu for Xia Mingxu." ”

"It is to let Xia Mingxu propose to change the military system, cast new military talismans, and concentrate the originally scattered military power in the emperor alone, in fact, although the military power is scattered, but it is always in the hands of the emperor, the so-called restructuring is just to weaken the rights of the generals who command the army, just like the prince's Yongan army, in the past, the soldiers were to recognize the prince's military talisman, and the emperor wants to mobilize the Yongan army, he will give an order to the prince, and the military system will be changed, which means that the military talisman in the emperor's hand can pass the prince and give orders directly, or you can give the Yongan army a general at will, and let him lead the army to the battle."

Fu Qizheng was surprised: "In this way, wouldn't everyone in charge of military power everywhere be in danger?" If the emperor can be trusted, he will let him lead the army, if he can't believe it, he can be replaced, and changing the talisman is actually making them unstable in holding the talisman. ”

"It's a good thing for the emperor, the emperor will naturally value Xia Mingxu, if he becomes a scholar, he can justifiably implement this move. Moreover, this move is not to change the military power, on the surface it is whose it is still who's, even if it is replaced in the future, who will follow the soldiers is not with it, the queen mother has played this abacus well, and her Fei family has no one in charge of military power, so it naturally has nothing to do with it. Fu Qishu said helplessly.

Fu Qizheng frowned lightly: "This is a move to consolidate the imperial power, if anyone opposes it, they are looking forward to cutting the emperor's power, and the queen mother's people will use this to impeach him for dissent, then it will be difficult to clear up, no wonder even his father and grandfather will be helpless, so they have to watch Xia Mingxu sit on the seat of Shangshu." ”

"The Yong'an Army has always been the elite of the elite, when the Taizu laid down the country, Taizu named it Yong'an, the meaning of one is to guard the Great Ning Yong'an, the other is to always follow the Anchen lineage, at first it was handed over to the old general Qi under the command, the old general died, the first emperor no one refused to give, and finally handed it over to the prince, these years the world is peaceful, the Yong'an army will be stationed outside the capital of Ping, guarding Jinggi, but the prince has not been slack, the army is conscientious, who knows that now it is ......" Fu Qishu sighed.

"But I remember that my father said that there are two armies stationed in Pingjing, and the other is the Wang family, and the second clan of the Fei Wang has always been an alliance, didn't the Queen Mother also cut the military power of the Wang family by doing this?"

Fu Qishu said: "Maybe it's because I'm in a hurry and can't take care of it." ”

Fu Qizheng smiled lightly: "The Queen Mother also has times when she doesn't care about her head and tail, and such a trade-off will cause endless troubles." ”
