"Pang Dingbei?" Gu Zhicheng was stunned. In an instant, he said, "As far as I know, there is no such thing as a holiday. If the only thing to say is that there is, it is that this Pang Dingbei once asked Xu Guogong for a promotion, but because of his mediocre qualifications and lazy military governance, Xu Guogong did not agree to him. He didn't say anything more after that. If this is the case, he will not be guilty of turning his face with Xu Guogong. ”

Shen Mi exhaled slightly and said, "I suspect that this matter has something to do with the lack of the commander of the Five Cities Battalion. Seeing Gu Zhicheng frowning, he said: "Xu Guogong was involved, the emperor can't let it go, the circle of honors and nobles is too united, and it will also pose a threat to the imperial power, I guess the emperor will not only not be this peacemaker, but I am afraid that he will tear this hole wider."

"Now the nobles who hold the military power are only one clan relative except for the four national mansions. If Xu Guogong and the Dongyang Marquis Mansion were simply allowed to form an enmity this time, if the imperial court had any measures against a certain noble family who had military power, at least other people would not be so keen to defend it. And the way to tear this hole bigger is to raise Pang Dingbei's position. ”

How could Gu Zhicheng not understand what he meant? Listening to Bi Lishi, he said: "You mean, this is a bureau deliberately set up by Pang Dingbei in order to grab this shortage?" ”

"Not necessarily him." Shen Mi looked at him, "You said that this Pang Dingbei's qualifications are mediocre, and there is very little interaction between Xungui and Wenchen, it is not easy for him to set up such a game." What's more, this matter depends on his bureau alone, and it may not be possible in the end. So there should be someone behind him. ”

Gu Zhicheng's face became more and more solemn.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the wine in the cup, and after half a day, he picked it up and muttered: "If you want to fight for this position the most fiercely at the moment, there is no one who is the king of Chu, since the arrest of Liu Yan, I think he has almost come for this shortage." But Pang Dingbei's eldest son, Pang Ying, once served as King Zheng's companion——"

"King Zheng?"

Shen Mi took a sip of tea and stopped at the tip of her tongue, and froze there.

"That's right. You were in Jinling at that time, and of course these things were not clear. Gu Zhicheng said: "According to this, nine times out of ten, the queen is making trouble behind her back again!" ”

Shen Mi's brows furrowed, but he didn't know how to answer.

If the queen had such a scheming, she would not have allowed Concubine Shu to come to this point, he knew too well that Shen Guanyu would not obey the queen's dispatch since he tore his face with the queen last time, but if he retreated after King Zheng was injured, then he would not be able to explain to the emperor!

So he still stayed by King Zheng's side, used to block the queen's mouth, Pang Ying was not only King Zheng's companion, but after Pang Dingbei got the position of commander under Shen Guanyu's plan, he would naturally be attached to King Zheng, so that the soldiers and horses of the five-city battalion jumped from the queen's hand to King Zheng's hand. And how could he, who was in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, not be able to instruct a few civil officials to break the rules?

After the emperor decided to separate the Duke of Xu and the Dongyang Bofu, he mentioned again that Pang Dingbei would take over the Wucheng camp, wouldn't it be in the emperor's arms?

"I guess it's probably King Zheng." He was silent for a long time, and said vaguely.

"Does King Zheng have this ability?" Gu Zhicheng was skeptical. King Zheng had nothing but a marionette in the hands of the queen, and he really couldn't imagine that he could make such a move. But whether it was the queen or King Zheng, he dared to hit Xungui with his idea, and he couldn't let them succeed no matter what.

"The queen's party really has a deep hatred for me, even if this matter has nothing to do with me, but I can't sit back and watch them get this advantage for nothing! Is there a way you can ruin their plans? ”

Shen Mi retracted his gaze and said quietly: "What can be done for a while?" After a moment of silence with his wine glass, he picked up his chopsticks and said, "Let's eat first." The cold hurts the stomach. ”

Recently, the important task of the DPRK and China is the appointment of commanders in the Wucheng Battalion.

There was still chaos on the Eastern Liao side, and military reports came from time to time, but there was no turn. Last month, the emperor suddenly changed the date of the kingdom of the Liao king from after the Mid-Autumn Festival to before the Mid-Autumn Festival, I don't know if this will be related to the situation in Eastern Liao.

However, Shen Yan carefully calculated that with the current situation of Eastern Liao, the emperor should not be able to intervene, because Da Zhou did not have the capital, unless he really wanted to send the border soldiers to death. And the early country of the King of Liao, one may be that he wants to have more channels to get the news, and the other is to strengthen his prestige.

Other than that, there is no other use.

And Shen Mi knew that Pang Dingbei's matter was manipulated by Shen Guanyu, and he had become more and more cautious in his words and deeds in front of the palace in the past few days, and he often thought about it when he returned to the house.

Shen Yan saw that he was pitiful, so he moved the food to Mo Juxuan.

She only knew that he was worried about political affairs, but she didn't know that there was Shen Guanyu, so she said: "My father is not the only one in the General Political Department, can you worry about the country and the people so much?" ”

"How do you know?" Shen Mi looked at a table of dishes, put chopsticks, and sighed.

After sighing, he saw her eyes burning at him, and remembered her wisdom, so he said: "This matter is getting more and more complicated now. ”

After that, he told her the inside story of Xu Guogong's participation, and then said: "This queen and I have already formed an irresolvable enmity, if I watch them succeed, I will be unwilling." But if it is stopped, then the master is afraid that he will be manipulated by the queen's mother and son again. I was in a dilemma. ”

When Shen Yan heard this inside story, he couldn't help but be stunned.

She has always been prepared to fall into the hands of the King of Chu for the position of Wuchengying, which has been thought of since she proposed to let the King of Chu invite the emperor that night, and the King of Chu naturally also saw this shortcoming, so she spared no effort to help from the side, she thought that this matter would be very smooth, after all, it seems that the King of Chu has an advantage at present.

But how could she have thought that Shen Guanyu would give advice from the side - but if you think about it, it is impossible for him not to make a move, the queen hugged him in order to let him be her brainchild, even if Shen Guanyu disdains the queen as a person, but he is already wet with his feet, if he doesn't make a effort, then the end is no different from a rebellion? If it doesn't work, the queen will still attack the Shen family.

And since he has already waded through this troubled water, he can naturally only help King Zheng successfully ascend to the crown prince. In this way, if King Zheng succeeds in the future, he will be able to fight for a chance to turn over. When King Zheng ascended the throne, at that time, everyone knew that it was the result of Shen Guanyu's plot, and it didn't matter.

Who can accuse him of assisting Xinjun wrong?

A long time ago, she was worried that she would become two opposing parties to Shen Guanyu, but she didn't expect it to come true now.

Of course, it is impossible to let the Wucheng camp fall into the hands of the queen, except for King Zheng of Chu, the people next to him will not have the courage to fight, but how can she fight with Shen Guanyu? Shen Guanyu didn't do anything hurtful, he was just doing what a person in the whirlpool should do.

Shen Mi, as a son, of course, can't stand up and fight with his own son.

What's more, in the process of dealing with Liu Yan this time, Shen Guanyu's firm attitude really moved her, if he hadn't coerced him with resignation, the emperor might not have made a decision so happily, and at this time, the grievances and grievances were completely unclear, how could she and Shen Mi have no scruples?

"Let's eat. Don't think about it. ”

Shen Mi sighed and gave her a piece of fish belly meat, looking like she was resigned to her fate. After speaking, he said: "After eating, play two games of chess with me before leaving, your mother still doesn't let people call me, and most likely won't let me go back to the room today." ”

Shen Yan looked at him speechlessly: "I think you don't want to go back to the room, right?" "If she were him, I was afraid that I would like to be alone at this time. But think about it again, Fahrenheit kicked him out, I'm afraid that he can see that he has something to worry about, so he did it, right? They have been married for more than ten years, and this tacit understanding should still exist.

"How is that possible?" Shen Mi glanced at her, and then lowered his voice: "Say it so loudly, do you want your mother to hear it?" ”

After eating, Shen Yan really stayed to play chess with him.

But Shen Mi was obviously absent-minded, and she didn't have much energy, so it was easy to yawn him, so she immediately got off the ground and put on her shoes and went back to the room.

She understood Shen Mi's mood very well, so she decided to wait and see about the matter of the Five Cities Camp first

A rule that the King of Chu will inevitably find ways to achieve his goal, and there are so many of them, they will always think of a way, so she doesn't have to worry about it. Second, she and Shen Mi also have to avoid suspicion, Shen Mi is to avoid anyone suspecting Shen Guanyu, and she wants to avoid someone from involving Shen Mi.

Moreover, she vaguely felt that Shen Guanyu's idea was a little unreasonable.

Although it is said that she was forced to have no choice but to hope that King Zheng is good, but the strength is inevitably too great, at least it will take advantage of the contradiction between Xun and Gui It is a bit unexpected for her, if that Pang Dingbei really takes over the Wucheng camp, then Liang Zi of several Guogong mansions will have a deep relationship, with the current friendship between the two families of Shen Gu, what is the benefit of this to the Shen family?

But judging from the fact that he helped King Zheng to appoint Pang Dingbei, he was really helping him with his heart, he killed Liu Yan on the one hand, and helped King Zheng to insert his own people in the camp of the five cities, what does this mean?

Because of Liu Yan's death, although the palace seems to be calm, it is actually full of gunsmoke.

Since the court is so lively, how can it be quiet in the major yamen.

In the leisure time after lunch, the general administration department took advantage of the fact that the master Si Zheng got off the government in advance, and several envoys in the official room soaked the strong fragrance of Tieguanyin, spread out the book paper as big as four opens, and put melon seeds and peanuts to play the mountain and sea scriptures.

Shen Mi still had some trivial matters, but his colleague Zhou Yude, who had a good relationship with him in the past, insisted on inviting him, so he joined in. R1152
