Luo Tingnan slowly walked out from behind the curtain tent, gently rubbing his uncle's temples, as if he wanted to bear some pressure and fatigue for him.

"Back to Uncle Zu, Nan'er doesn't know. ”

Ji Yue let out a long sigh.

He closed his eyes, thinking about the emperor who had passed away, and his heart was desolate.

He used all the connections that could be used, and hired a team of Danshi led by Wu Lao of the Nine Hanging Sect, and did his best to continue His Majesty's life. His nephew, when he was dying, had been uncertain between the prince and the third child, and finally made up his mind to choose Ji Yun, but before he could make an edict, the emperor was already in the sky, and he was an uncle, but he wanted to help the prince to ascend the throne again, if the emperor knew about it, he would be very angry.

But for the sake of Dayan, for the tens of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains laid down by the ancestors of the Ji family to survive, Ji Yue seems to have no choice.

Luo Tingnan just rubbed his shoulders quietly for him and didn't say a word.

Although Ji Yue has not been in contact with politics for a long time, and has not even returned to Beijing to visit him for nearly fifty years, if he really underestimates him, it is the most stupid idea.

The so-called evidence sent to Kyoto in successive days could not completely confirm that Ji Yun was the murderer of the assassin, and he even vaguely suspected that the crown prince and the fourth child played a role in the assassination of the emperor, because no matter from which point of view, the sudden death of the emperor allowed these people to profit the most.

But these conjectures and suspicions are useless, unless there is really conclusive evidence, otherwise Ji Yue can only force himself to believe that the emperor was killed by Ji Yun, and the crown prince Ji Wen will definitely become a generation of Ming Jun.

This heavy pressure made him a little breathless, he was obsessed with the formation, and he had been away from earthly strife for more than a hundred years, and the sudden bad news really made him a little overwhelmed.

But he must be calm and deal with a series of matters rationally.

Ji Yue was silent for a while, waved his hand, and dispersed the eunuchs and palace maids who served in the imperial study, and everyone hurriedly withdrew from the study, leaving this space to this pair of ancestors and grandchildren.

He sighed tiredly and said in a deep voice, "In this Dayan Kyoto, I can only talk to you. ”

"If the uncle is tired, Nan'er is always there. ”

Luo Tingnan smiled quietly, gently rubbed Ji Yue's stiff shoulders, and did his best to dispel the fatigue in his heart.

Ji Yue said slowly: "The prince has been speaking for the third child recently, and from this point of view alone, Ji Wen's child is also very good. ”

He then sighed again, "The emperor's sons, the eldest Ji Wen is honest and simple, but he has some women's kindness, and he can barely be called a king, but it is difficult to be as eloquent as his father. The second son, Ji Yun, is smart and ruthless, but his methods are too cruel, and it is difficult to implement benevolent government after taking office, which is why he has always been rejected by the Temple Academy. As for the fourth ......"

Ji Yue sighed: "His temperament is too feminine, not like a man, but like a girl." But perhaps it is precisely for this reason that the emperor does not want him to be involved in these whirlpools, and has not given him power. ”

Luo Tingnan asked softly, "Uncle, have you forgotten about the fifth child?"

Ji Yue smiled slightly, "Lao Wu is only nine years old this year, he is just a child, it is too cruel to involve him, and the emperor doesn't want to treat Lao Wu as a victim of their two brothers, so he has always let the Queen Mother take care of him." ”

"Still. ”

Ji Yue's eyes suddenly became indifferent, "If Ji Wen and Ji Yun really dare to touch the bottom line of this king, and they can't even let go of the fifth child, then there is no need for the two of them to fight around." ”

Luo Tingnan's hand rubbing his shoulders was stunned for a moment, and he continued to make movements after a while.

Her chest slowly rose and fell, and it took a long time before it gradually calmed down.

......

......

There were three scholars in the Dayan Dynasty.

One of them was recuperating due to illness and had not been in the court for nearly three years.

The other two are all from the country, one is the leader of the spring of the year, and the other is the leader of the following year, a first assistant, a palace, a perfect combination, assisting the emperor to deal with the government for more than 20 years.

At this moment, this young scholar of the first auxiliary university was looking at the young man sitting opposite in the study in a daze.

"Lord Yan, can you stop looking at me like that?"

Ji Yun picked up the herbal tea on the table, took a sip, and said helplessly: "I said Lord Yan, you are also my Dayan's first assistant scholar, even if you seem to be honest and honest, the tea served to the guests will not be so cold." ”

Yan Jing looked at him with complicated eyes, and suddenly said, "Your Highness suddenly came to the Humble House, it shouldn't be just for a cup of tea. ”

Ji Yun looked at Yan Jing with a straight face, "You can't let the crown prince ascend the throne." ”

When Scholar Yan heard this, he was not angry, but continued to ask, "Why?"

A faint hint of hatred appeared on the corner of Ji Yun's lips: "Because, I believe that it is impossible for you to watch a brute scum who killed his father and the monarch sit on the dragon chair of Dayan." ”

There was silence.

Yan Jing's old hands began to tremble slightly.

Ji Yun took out a letter from his bosom and said in a deep voice: "Yan Jing takes the order." ”

Yan Jing was shocked in his heart, and quickly knelt on the ground, his hands trembling and taking the letter, extremely puzzled in his heart.

But he has been in the court for many years, and he has been in charge of the affairs of the library for a long time, and he is extremely familiar with the handwriting and tone of His Majesty's handwriting, and he only looks at the handwriting on the cover and the back of the seal, and he knows that it is written by His Majesty himself, and he can't help but get excited, his hands tremble even more, and his eyes begin to be wet.

The more Yan Jing looked, the more unbelievable he felt, the more he looked at it, the more angry he felt, and finally he couldn't help but pat the desk next to him and scolded: "Pigs and dogs are not as good!

That letter doesn't contain much, but only two points.

First, it is necessary to appoint the third prince Ji Yun as the prince and abolish the position of the crown prince in the East Palace.

Second, and most importantly, this is the point.

The main reason why the emperor lacks the skills to return to heaven and the old diseases are difficult to treat is that the food used for eating is actually a chronic poison.

This poison is colorless and odorless, and it is extremely difficult to detect, even some veteran Nine Rank Dan masters may not be able to see it without careful observation.

The main reason is that the effect of this poison is not to poison people's bodies, but to gradually amplify the existing diseases of the body.

Once the emperor's condition is reached, in the whole world, except for the life and death of Dan Shenbai, there is no Dan master who can cure this disease at all.

Ji Yun said slowly: "This is a letter written by my father Yu Bintian five days ago. ”

"I'll enter the palace right away. Yan Jing stood up solemnly, and couldn't hide his anger on his face, "I'm going to see the Queen Mother." ”

Ji Yun shook his head.

Yan Jing frowned and said: "Although there is no mourning, the palace has already begun to prepare for the prince's accession to the throne, if it is late, I am afraid that it will be too late." ”

Ji Yun closed his eyes and said softly: "This letter was originally written to the emperor's uncle. ”

"This ......" Yan Jing's face changed suddenly, and he looked at Ji Yun in a daze, "This is impossible!"

Ji Yun's eyes seemed to have a flame beating, "You are a Wenchen, a scholar of the dynasty of Dayan, although you are a good hand at dealing with court politics, but your heart is generally biased towards goodness." And I am a member of the royal family, I want to see the thoughts of those nobles in the palace more clearly, if it is not for the fear of the emperor's uncle, why would I venture here tonight?"

He looked at Yan Jing and said calmly: "I handed over this letter to you, not to force you to make a choice with the general situation, you can completely treat it as if I have not been here today." ”

Yan Jing asked, "Since Your Highness has a letter with you, why don't you go to your own concubine or Lord Duan to discuss?"

Ji Yun said calmly: "Even if I have a letter from my father, but after all, I am the most suspicious of the assassination, and Lord Duan must not use it unless it is urgent, and the Divine Ce Army can only be the last resort." ”

Yan Jing's eyes were heavy, and he asked, "Your Highness, the murderer of the assassin, do you have any suspicions?"

Ji Yun said with a smile: "According to the intelligence of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Crime, I should be the most suspicious. ”

"If Your Highness is really the mastermind, why did you bring the letter to me?"

Yan Jing shook his head and said, "Besides, Your Highness has no reason to do this rebellious act at all, Your Majesty Bintian will not do His Highness any benefit at all." ”

Ji Yun restrained his smile and said, "Then I'll be blunt." "Dogs

Yan Jing said solemnly: "Your Highness, please speak." ”

Ji Yun pondered for a moment, and said quietly: "In my opinion, the fourth child is very suspicious. ”

Yan Jing frowned and said, "Fourth Highness, didn't he live in Yangxinzhai all the year round and haven't been seen for a long time?"

Ji Yun picked up the teacup and took a sip, "I'm just talking about the doubts in my heart, you don't have to take it seriously." ”

Yan Jing was silent for a moment, looked at Ji Yun, who was light and breezy, and asked: "Your Highness can find me, it means that you can still trust me as an old man, please Your Highness have something to say, even if it is just for this letter from Your Majesty, I will do my best to do something for Dayan." ”

Ji Yun said calmly: "The reason why I chose to come to see you is because I want you to reason for Your Majesty, the reason is very simple, because you are a bone minister, and you are a scholar. ”

"I heard that you not only studied in the Guozijian, but also the disciple of the current palace master of the Zilai Prefecture Academy, so I believe you. ”

Yan Jing stood up solemnly, bent down his spine that had been straight all his life at Ji Yun, and said word by word: "Minister, obey the order." ”

......

......

Ji Yun got out of the carriage, returned to the house, and looked at the courtyard not far away. The candle flame is still burning.

He dismissed his men and went into the house alone.

"The palace hasn't sent anyone to pick it up yet?"

Ji Ling'er got up from the bed, walked to Ji Yun's side and took off his robe for him, and said softly: "The palace has already sent people, but I never wanted to see them, so I delayed until now." ”

Ji Yun rubbed his shoulders, sat down at the table, frowned, and said, "If it is late, things will change, don't let the emperor uncle be suspicious." ”

Ji Ling'er sat beside her imperial brother, snuggled up gently, and said quietly: "Brother Yun, I really can't bear you, you just listen to my sister's advice, the emperor's seat is not so easy to sit on, even my father is so wise and powerful, he has worked hard all his life, but in the end he can't even get a good result, I'm really afraid of ......."

Ji Yun held Ji Ling'er's soft right hand, leaned into her ear and exhaled lightly, and asked with a smile, "Sister Ling'er, you can't trust me?"

"Don't make a fuss. Ji Ling'er snorted and said, "How can I not trust you?" I'm just afraid that if you sit on the dragon chair, I will forget your sister Ling'er to the clouds." ”

Ji Yun stretched out his tongue, licked Ji Ling'er's delicate earlobes, and attached his hands to the softness of his sister's chest, with a slight force, even if it was separated by a layer of clothes, his five fingers were deeply involved, and he couldn't help himself.

"Sister Ling'er, even if I forget the whole world, it is impossible to forget you. ”

"Flim Flam. Ji Ling'er was flushed and shy.

She raised her head, her lips were only half an inch away from her brother's face, Ji Ling'er's eyes were blurred, and she bit her lower lip lightly, "Brother Yun, go to bed, I want to ......"

Ji Yun smiled slightly, stretched out his arm to pick up Ji Ling'er's weak and boneless body, and walked to the exquisite and luxurious bed opposite.

In a short time, the heavy gasps of men and women were heard, with a strange pattern with the slight shaking of the bed.

.......

.......

This mansion is a private residence purchased by Ji Yun in Beijing, and few outsiders know about it.

Hong Chun is the chief eunuch who serves Concubine Yi in the palace, in recent years, the queen has fallen out of favor, Concubine Yi has gained power, and even with the group of subordinates below, her status has also risen, and as Ji Yun's nominal mother, Hong Chun is also trusted by the three princes, and she is familiar with Ji Yun's address in Beijing in private, although His Royal Highness did not deliberately confess, but Hong Chun will not really be stupid enough to talk nonsense with a big mouth, but instead rot all these things in his stomach, just as he doesn't know.

Dayan's palace is actually not as bright as the people imagined, but it is not as dark and terrifying as those families have imagined.

Especially in the past few years, Concubine Yi has been favored alone, and she is not pampered and arrogant, and she is relatively gentle to the palace maids and eunuchs.

And Hong Chun is also a cautious character, even if he is now the chief eunuch, he is not very arrogant to the people below, so the relationship with other palace maids and little eunuchs is not bad, and even the more courageous palace maids dare to make some harmless jokes with him.

"Where is this?" Hong Chun smiled at the palace maid, and the little eunuch behind the palace maid holding two rolls of embroidered cloth.

The palace maid smiled and saluted, and said: "If you go back to your father-in-law, this batch of cloth is from the Qiongdan Kingdom, and the mother is happy to see it, so she will let us bring some to the Third Highness." ”

Hong Chun smiled and nodded, letting her continue to be busy.

As the most favored eunuch beside Concubine Yi, Hong Chun deeply understands that although there are ups and downs about the remarks of the Third Highness outside, Niangniang has never suspected the Third Highness in the slightest, but does not hide the intimate relationship with the Third Highness.

This delivery of cloth is to express Concubine Yi's attitude.

"Wait a minute, do you know where the Third Highness lives now?"

The palace maid stopped and thought for a moment, and replied: "Niangniang said that I would send it to the Third Highness's mansion, but did not tell His Highness his current address. ”

Hong Chun waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's let our family run this errand, you can find something else to do." ”

The palace maid was a little pleased, this trip outside the palace belonged to the thankless kind, if the third highness was not in the mansion and had a closed door, then he would not only run for nothing, but he was more likely to be reprimanded by the mother, Hong Chun was willing to go for himself, that was of course the best.

The palace maid saluted Hong Chun and said with a smile: "That father-in-law, I'll leave it to you, I'll go to Huanyifang to have a look." ”

Hong Chun smiled kindly and waved her hand to let her go.

He took the two little eunuchs to Ji Yun's mansion, knowing the habits of the Third Highness, he waved his hand and let the two little eunuchs wait outside, and he worked hard to carry the embroidered cloth inside.

There was no one around, and the room in the distance was faintly flickering with lights, Hong Chun was a little surprised in his heart, why didn't His Highness bring his subordinates here today?

He continued to walk a few steps forward, and when he came to the front of the room, he faintly heard the thick gasps of men and women intertwined, but he didn't care.

His Royal Highness is merry by nature, and it is no longer a secret that he is secret, as the messenger between Ji Yun and Concubine Yi, Hong Chun is naturally not surprised.

Seeing that there was not even a single servant around, he had to come to the lobby on his own, carefully rest the fabric on the table, and stand against the door.

As a minion, Hong Chun is very clear about his position, and he usually jokes with his master and pleases His Highness, which is not a big deal, but if he calls someone at this moment, he will make His Highness feel bad, not to mention receiving a reward, if he is unlucky, he will have to eat a few plates if he can't prepare.

Although Hong Chun has no roots, he knows a man's mind well.

The wheezing sound gradually subsided, Hong Chun retreated to the back of the door, always on guard, he knew the habits of the Third Highness, he would never leave a woman in the room for the night, and when the woman came from the house for a while, she must not let her see herself, in the end, it is not glorious to listen to the root of the wall.

But Hong Chun waited for a full two quarters of an hour, and still didn't wait for the woman to come out of the house, and couldn't help but be extremely surprised, why did His Highness change his temper today?

After waiting for a while, no one came out, Hong Chun was a little uncertain, after all, he had experienced this kind of thing before, and he was waiting outside the room, but now His Royal Highness didn't even have a subordinate in the house, so it was unreasonable to leave the cloth here.

He thought about it, picked up the fabric and came to Ji Yunfang, and when he saw the faint light flickering inside, he was even more drumming in his heart.

Hong Chun was less than half a foot away from the door, swallowed his saliva, and said in a deep voice to the room: "Your Highness, the slave has sent you two rolls of fine cloth on the order of Concubine Yi's mother.....

"Who?!"

Ji Yun's voice in the room was a little flustered.

Hong Chun hurriedly knelt in front of the room and said in a trembling voice: "The slave Hong Chun rushed into His Highness, and he deserves death." ”

Hearing this, Ji Yun immediately calmed down, got up from the bed after getting dressed, glanced at Ji Ling'er, and motioned for her not to make a sound.

He opened the door and saw Hong Chun holding two rolls of embroidered cloth and kowtowing to the ground, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and after walking to him, he asked sharply, "The courtyard door is locked, how did you get in?"

Hong Chun replied honestly: "When the slave came in, the courtyard door was not locked, and the slave saw that there was no one around, so he waited in the lobby first, and after waiting for a long time and no one came, the slave disturbed His Highness by himself, causing His Highness to suffer from this cold, and the slave really deserved to die......

Ji Yun seemed to be listening carefully, but he didn't seem to hear a word, his eyes always fell on the two rolls of embroidered cloth in his arms, and he continued to ask, "What did you see?"

"Nope. Hong Chun replied without the slightest hesitation, and continued cleanly: "The slave only heard some movement and didn't see anything. ”

After a while, Ji Yun suddenly squatted down, looked at Hong Chun with a smile, and said, "Why are you so scared?"

Hong Chun swallowed his saliva, his face naturally showed a mixture of fear and self-blame, knelt on the ground and kowtowed and said in a wailing voice: "The slave collided with His Highness on his own initiative today, he really deserves to die." ”
