Chapter 259: Return to the Shang Palace Bureau
After making the decision to return to the north with Jin Zixuan, Zhirong entered the palace early the next morning to ask Li You for his resignation, which coincided with Wei Ting serving in the main hall. Li You knew that she was in such a hurry because she must have known what Jin Zixuan had done for her, and he was relieved in his heart, even though the situation in Jingtang was still unstable, but he did not have any Li Youqiang to leave Zhirong.
Zhirong helped him take down the country before, but it didn't mean that he would continue to help him pacify the country. What's more, the Shen Jiajun still belongs to the Northern Army, and the longer Zhirong stays in Jingtang, the more he will be attacked by some interest groups. Therefore, although Li You was reluctant, he agreed without a trace of hesitation.
"When are you going to leave? I will prepare for you. Li You thought that Zhirong and Jin Zixuan were not in good health, so they had to prepare two excellent carriages, bring some medical female officials to follow, and bring some medicine prescribed by Wei Ting to be a little more reassured.
Zhirong was very grateful that Li You was still thinking about preparing for her when he was so busy, and she smiled: "You don't have to prepare anything, the emperor also knows that the Jin family has been rehabilitated, and Jin Zixuan's status in the capital is not as good as before." However, there is no shortage of things, and they are all good. ”
"Why is my sister so anxious, yesterday I cut the pulse for you, the pulse is not very stable, how can you suffer from the bumps along the way? Or do you raise it for another ten days and a half months, and it's never too late to go if the pulse is stable, what do you say, Your Majesty? Wei Ting asked Li You instead.
She didn't expect that Zhirong's idea would become so fast after just one night's effort, and she had promised to stay in Jingtang temporarily for a while, but she didn't expect to come to ask for her resignation this morning. For the sake of Jing Tang and Li You, she can't let Zhirong go for the time being.
What's more, what she said is true, Zhirong's pulse is indeed not stable. In. She must ask what Zhirong is going to do, and if she can persuade her to stay in Jingtang for a few more days.
When Li You heard that Zhirong's pulse was not stable, he felt uneasy. He said to Zhirong worriedly: "I'm still not at ease. It's better to stay a few more days as Concubine Wei said, and it's not too late for you to leave. ”
Zhirong thought about it, Li You was also for her good, and she and Jin Zixuan were not in a hurry to leave in the next day or two, so they agreed. Then Li You went to court, and Zhirong and Wei Ting went to the harem.
One is that the two sisters are taking a walk, and the other is to visit Yubi, Wenxin and their two younger sisters at the Shanggong Bureau. Zhirong looked at the stone road and the palace wall. And the scenery in the imperial garden can't help but sigh, the scenery has not changed, but the pattern in this palace is very different from before.
"Zhirong. Do you know how rampant the Murong family is now? Wei Ting sat down hand in hand with her and waved back left and right, looked up slightly at the ancient tree beside her, sighed slightly, and looked at Zhirong fixedly: "The Murong family is now the most prosperous of all families, and there are Murong family and Murong family's private army outside the palace. The palace is even more complicated. Although Murong Qiu is of the same rank as me, she doesn't even care about the queen. ”
Zhirong was surprised and asked, "Can Qiu Manhua endure her?" Qiu Manhua in her heart was so arrogant, how could she stand Murong Qiu's anger.
Wei Ting frowned and said: "I can't bear it, Qiu Manhua hasn't been a half-girl after all." And Murong Qiu is now pregnant with a dragon fetus. And there is also Concubine Murong Gui to support her, who dares to touch her in this harem? A few days ago, someone played the emperor and asked the emperor to crown Concubine Murong as the queen mother, obviously because of the ghost of the Murong family. This is fundamentally against the ancestral system. ”
"I didn't expect the Murong family to be so meritorious. It was not his Murong family who helped the emperor fight the country at the beginning, if there was no Wen family and the Qiu family, where would he have a share of the Murong family. And there were a lot of the emperor's own personal soldiers at the beginning. When the capital was finally captured, the Murong family's private army was basically unmoved. Zhirong stopped abruptly at this point.
At the beginning, the first to attack the capital were the Wen family's private army and the Shen family's army, and she was afraid that if she continued to talk about it, Wei Ting would think that the north wanted to get a piece of the battle feats.
Honestly. Li You did reward a lot, but Zhirong did not let Li You give the Shen family too much glory, but just asked him to avenge the Shen family. In this way, Shen Jiajun was already very satisfied, and there was nothing else to ask for.
Wei Ting was in such a hurry that she naturally knew what Zhirong was afraid of. However, what she wants is for the Shen family to get a piece of the pie, not that the benefits are taken up by the Wen family's Murong family and the Qiu family, especially the Murong family.
"The people of the Quanjing Tang Dynasty know that it was you and your Shen family army who captured the city gate and killed the guards of the Imperial Forest Army in the first place. In my opinion, Shen Jiajun is very aggrieved, he didn't get the glory he deserved, and he cheapened the Murong family. Do you know who is the first Shang Gong of the Criminal Law Department of the Shang Gong Bureau? ”
When Wei Ting said this, her face was ugly and there was an atmosphere: "It was Murong Qin who tried you at the beginning." It's very rampant, Pu Shang Palace's illness has not been treated, but she is waiting for the position of the Commander-in-Chief Shang Palace. ”
Zhirong didn't make a sound, Murong Qin's methods were ruthless at the beginning, but he was also instructed by others. So she didn't mean to pursue it. I came here today just to see the old people. Wei Ting probably understands what she thinks, but after all, now that she doesn't belong to the Jingtang people, even if she really wants to help, in what capacity?
Moreover, she had an agreement with Jin Zixuan, and she didn't want to miss it.
Re-entering the Shang Palace Bureau, Yubi personally brought all the female officials to greet him. Zhirong hurriedly stepped forward to salute Yubi: "Master, what are you doing?" ”
Yubi bowed his head and said: "In any case, you are now King Rong, this is something that the world knows, and as a female official of Jingtang, I dare not slack off in etiquette." ”
Zhirong has seen the female officials of each department one by one, and Murong Qin is naturally also listed. Although she also saluted Zhirong, she was still arrogant. Obviously, he didn't take Zhirong and Wei Ting seriously.
Zhirong didn't want to worry about her, so she went directly to the embroidery department with Wei Ting, and the female officials of the medical department and some female officials of the Ming Law Department who used to be good with her also went over to talk to her.
"I should have come early, but there was a fact that I couldn't get out before, so I came to see the sisters today." Zhirong and Wei Ting sat in the front seat, while the other female officials sat in the side seat.
Wen Xin was very sad when she heard her words, everyone knew that the palace was too chaotic before she became a monk, so she didn't enter the palace, but on the day of her ordination, there was such a big thing, and she was sick for a while, and it was not easy for a woman to do this. She smiled: "Wherever you are, you are all good sisters, and we will rest assured that you are safe." ”
"Yes, King Rong, the female officials you taught us to embroider through the clouds are now embroidered."
"I really miss the days of embroidery and discussion with King Rong."
"King Rong, have you invented any new stitches recently?" A little female officer asked.
It was an unintentional remark, but it made the atmosphere of the entire hall embarrassing. The little female official suddenly came back to her senses and realized that she had said the wrong thing, but she didn't know how to speak, so she hurriedly bowed her head: "King Rong, I lost my words." ”
Zhirong stretched out his deformed hand and comforted with a smile: "It's okay, although my hand has been deformed, it can still be embroidered, and there are new stitches, which can be handed over to you in a few days." ”
The little female officer breathed a sigh of relief and nodded happily. When everyone dispersed, Wei Ting and Hui Gong were left with only Yubi, Wenxin, Zhiyan and Zhishuang.
"Third sister, do you have to go back to the north?" Zhishuang asked. She thinks that Zhirong is also from Jingtang no matter what she says, so it is better to stay in Jingtang. "Third sister, you have held the sword for so long, it is better to put it down and pick up the embroidery needle again."
Wen Xin nodded and said: "I think so too, you are a person born for embroidery, and you want to learn from men to take swords to the battlefield, it is better to return to the Shanggong Bureau, if you come back, how can it not be Murong Qin's turn to be the position of the Commander-in-Chief Shanggong." ”
Speaking of Murong Qin, Wenxin looked at Zhirong's hands, weren't these hands given by that woman?
Although Yubi also regrets Zhirong's talent, she understands that Zhirong stays to participate in a multi-player battle, and will be the enemy of the Murong family. This is not harmful to Li Youbai, but Zhirong has to accept a lot of criticism and the secret arrows of the Murong family, where is there a peaceful birthday.
"I think, you should choose a good husband and live in the north to live in peace, and it is important to have a few children." Yubi's words sounded like a joke, but Zhirong understood what she meant.
And Wen Xin also understood instantly, she sighed slightly, today was originally entrusted by Wen Yu to let her say a few words of persuasion in front of Zhirong, but seeing Zhirong's meaning is that she can't fly away.
Zhiyan was so clever that she could also hear what Yubi meant, and her big eyes flashed with dazzling brilliance and echoed: "I think what Yushang Palace said is reasonable, third sister, you can't delay it any longer, I think Master Jin is good." ”
"I'm just friends with him." Zhirong explained. Her relationship with Jin Zixuan has become the focus of discussion among the people of Quanjing Tang. If they end up together, then it will be a strong alliance, and Jingtang will have to guard against it, and if they are not together, Xu Zhirong's half of the northern territory can return to Jingtang's hands.
However, Zhirong didn't mean that, that half of the northern border was fought down by Shen Jiajun and Jin Zixuan, and she couldn't give it away. Even if she helped Li You, she would not give up the northern border. That's her bottom line.
"Where does Murong Qin have the qualifications of a master? Even if the emperor chooses a consul-in-chief, Shang Gong will not be able to take her turn. "Zhirong is very strange, why do they think Murong Qin will be on top?
Wen Xin showed concern, "The ministers of the court forced the emperor to canonize the queen mother, if it really happens, Murong Qin is not the commander-in-chief Shang Palace." His Murong family is extremely glorious, and no one can compare to him. ”
She paused, stared at Zhirong and said, "Moreover, it is said that Yanhua has successfully returned to Southern Xinjiang. And it is supported by the people of southern Xinjiang, and will soon ascend the throne. If he ascends the throne, the first thing he has to deal with after rectifying the dynasty is Jingtang! At that time, internal and external troubles, where could Jingtang withstand it? ”
Zhirong was still shocked when she heard Yan Hua's name, and then returned to normal. The speed of Yanhua's march was beyond her expectations, and it would not take too long to rectify the dynasty with Yanhua Leili's popular style, so Jingtang's external troubles would soon come.
In this way, Li You could not disperse the power of the Murong family, but wanted grace. But the condition is that Murong Taifei is the queen mother, Murong Qin is the commander-in-chief Shanggong, and Murong Qiu's position may also be promoted. The court and harem are all the world of the Murong family, no wonder Wei Ting was in a hurry, Wen Xin probed her words.
If you don't use the Murong family's troops, then you have to have other forces, what Jingtang needs is a new force, completely selfless, loyal to Li You's forces, which the Wen family can't do.
Zhirong was thinking about it, and suddenly a palace maid outside came in in a panic and knelt down and wailed: "Lord Yubi, the Commander-in-Chief Shanggong has gone!" (To be continued......)
