Chapter 34: The Nightmare (5)
There were no secrets in the court, and the news that the mission to the north had sent people back had already spread on the seventh day. There are even good people who start fighting people when the next group of personnel will arrive in Beijing, that was two days ago, and today, no one will gamble on this anymore, because the result is obvious, that is, every few days a group of people will return to Beijing.
From the beginning of the anticipation, nervousness to the later wait-and-see, speculation, slowly returned to calm, this calm does not mean that things are light, but the repeated events day after day make people feel mentally fatigued, this is the personal feeling of all the ministers in the political hall, which does not include Lao Pingzhang Wang Entropy, since that day he has never been in the forbidden, people have to sigh that Jiang is still old and spicy, people have long known that this is the case.
"Longtu Pavilion Servant, Zhongshu Sheren, to the Yuan and Prayer Envoy Liu Yu to play: the minister sent the edict, from August of the first year of Deyou, to the 27th to enter the city of the country has been submitted for nearly ten months, and there is still no news coming, the minister is not the other way, only"
"Pray for the envoy Liu Yu to play again: the half-moon period has passed, and the Yuan people have shirked several times, not only will the ministers turn a deaf ear, but even the degree of application has begun to make things difficult, and the ministers will not wait."
"The minister Liu Yu played again: the north wind is gradually rising, and the ministers are looking at the south from a square inch, and the heart of thinking about the country and thinking of the monarch is becoming more and more intense, and they have nothing to do all day long, and they are particularly embarrassed to betray their gratitude and righteousness."
Every time Liu Yu's recital comes, it will be turned around in the political hall, and it will be sent to the palace after a few ministers' circulation, at this moment the Empress Dowager Xie is crooked in her bedroom looking at these recitals, each one arrives at the same time as another secret recital of the Imperial City Division follows behind, Xie will send the two copies at the same time together, there is almost no difference between what is written on it, but the tone of the military generals tends to be more vernacular.
With her political wisdom, she can only see that things are not going well, and the Yuan people are deliberately making things difficult, I don't know if it is for better conditions or something else, but thousands of miles away, even if she knows what is the use, she can only count on that kid. Xie Shi has always had a different expectation for him, and every time he came down, it proved that this expectation was not at a loss, and the reason why she was relieved in the end this time was not necessarily without this reason in it, rather than sending an incompetent person to go, and ↘dǐng↘diǎn↘ Xiaoshu ↘, .2↗3.¤os_(); Why don't you let him go?
Of course, worry is also inevitable, if things don't work out in the end, there is no need to say that the situation of the country is not to say, the result of the war is unpredictable, and that kid is afraid that he will never come back, Xie Shi of course does not want things to come to that point in the end, she sighed and put down the book in her hand.
"Did the imperial doctor who went to the palace come back today?" The female officer who accompanied her had been watching her intently reviewing the recitals, but she didn't expect that the questions she asked had nothing to do with them.
"If you go back to the saint, I'm afraid it's going to be later, yesterday I didn't return until the time of the hour, and the door was opened by the slave himself." After waiting for so long, the female officer knows how to deal with it to be decent, and it doesn't matter what the truth of the matter is, the key is not to hesitate at all.
"What did the Imperial Doctor say yesterday?" Of course, Xie Shi's attention diǎn will not be the itinerary of a certain imperial doctor, Lao Pingzhang has been lying in bed, and her body is seeing that day by day is not as good as day by day, she knows that she will not be able to endure it for long, but she never wants it to be now, even if she survives this month, by then the dust will be settled.
"That's the sentence, if you raise it properly, you can delay it for a while, if you work as usual, you can't say for sure."
"From tomorrow, the imperial doctor will be stationed in the palace, and there is no need to return to the palace until Wang Pingzhang recovers."
Xie's order made the female palace slightly stunned, the few words he said before were completely kind words, and he was afraid that the saint would feel uncomfortable when he heard it, but it was impossible not to hear the implication, let alone recover, even delaying is very difficult, if it weren't for this, how could the imperial doctor return to the palace so late every day?
But at this time, how could she go and tell the truth to the Xie family, and quickly answered and kept the matter in mind, so that she could go to announce it when the people came back in a while. Xie Shi is so shrewd, as soon as he looks at her appearance, he knows that he has not figured it out, it is not that she is old and confused, but to use this reason to calm the hearts of Chinese and foreign courtiers.
Qinghefang Chen Mansion, it was close to the hour, the light in Chen Yizhong's study was still on, and a family member hurried from the direction of the house gate and handed over a roll of things to the steward standing outside the study, and the steward did not speak, and turned around and picked up the curtain and entered the house.
"This is the last one, right?" One of his cronies and staff members stepped forward, took the volume of documents and unfolded a corner, looked at the beginning of the diǎndiǎn head, then turned around and walked to Chen Yizhong's desk, and put the document in a corner of the desk.
At this moment, there was nothing else on the huge desk, and all the documents placed were volumes and volumes, and the content of these documents was exactly the same as what Xie Shi saw in the palace.
"There's something wrong." Chen Yizhong casually picked up the paperwork, swept it in ten lines at a glance, and then twisted his beard and sighed leisurely.
"Dong Weng is saying, this son has other intentions?" The staff glanced at the furnishings on the desk, and a thought suddenly rose in their minds.
"Yuan people don't care about it, it's just ordinary to bully the small, Liu Zi is young and vigorous, even if he brushes his sleeves away, it's not strange that he is a diǎn, but he didn't do it, but sent him back again and again, knowing that this is a superfluous move, you say, why did he do this?"
Chen Yizhong's face was as plain as usual, and he didn't have any intention of exploring or questioning, but his cronies knew that Chen Xianggong, who was a little too young, was by no means easy to fool, and this question was not necessarily without consideration, so he had to be cautious and careful before trying to open his mouth.
"This son is known as a thin name, and I think he has two meanings in it." As he spoke, he also glanced at Chen Yizhong, and saw that his face remained unchanged, so he continued with confidence: "First, exaggerated, if it is agreed, it can show its merits, and if it fails, it can also show its hard work." ”
"Second, through the mouth of these returnees to become famous in Beijing, I heard that the first to arrive in Beijing that Liu Yue, when people say how this son is kind and righteous, these days into the city of people are similar, even those accompanying the guards of the palace, all praise it, call it 'benevolence and righteousness', to the public for personal gain, stealing for nothing."
Chen Yizhong smiled diǎndiǎn head, which made his cronies happy, but before the joy passed, he saw the owner shaking his head again, which made him a little confused for a while, does this mean that his analysis is correct or not?
"You are right, but that is a private meaning, and from a righteous point of view, his intention is deeper. Planning is your strength, but you have to be more broad-minded, this son has today, his talent is recognized by the top and bottom, not a wasted person, you! ”
"Dong Weng is right, so-and-so has a small belly, wait for so-and-so to think about it." The cronies thanked him and put his eyes back on the desk, in fact, there is a rule in the arrangement of the above movements, that is, the order of arriving at the Jingshi, I originally thought that it was Xianggong for the convenience of looking, but at this time, I looked at it again, combined with his mention just now, the cronies seemed to have understood.
"Judging from the interval between these recitals, the short is one day, and the long is only five or six days, and the number of people in the mission is not large, including the guards, he has already sent back most of the people, and if his selfishness is considered a show of grace, then justice is to remind the court that things may not be possible?"
"It's not that it's hard to succeed, it's already yellow, what Liu Ziqing wants to tell the court is that the Yuan people will not make a contract with him, so they will dismiss the mission and disperse and return to the country in this way, and he will be the last person." Chen Yizhong shook his head and made a conclusion in a very positive tone, which surprised his cronies, because such a pessimistic argument was the first time it came out of his mouth.
Chen Yizhong's eyes burned, this kind of speculation, he believes that there is more than one person who can see it, such as the old Pingzhang who is sick, what if he sees it, he doesn't pretend not to see it, he is waiting for the moment when the water comes out, will this day be far away? Chen Yizhong was suddenly taken aback.
"Where is Su Liuyi?"
"The letter from yesterday has arrived in Yangzhou, Li Xiang has given him convenience, and the recruitment of troops is slowly unfolding, and there may be an unexpected joy." The cronies have a good memory, and they can tell things out one by one without having to look through old documents.
"It's too late." Chen Yizhong was not optimistic about this, he waved his hand as he spoke.
"You immediately repair the book, in the name of the prime minister, tell him to speed up his movements, no matter what the result is, you will bring someone back to Beijing at the end of this month."
"In such a hurry?" The cronies were stunned when they heard this.
"The mountain rain is coming."
Chen Yizhong's face became solemn, if things really develop according to his expectations, there may be a big change at the end of this month, there are no soldiers and horses in Lin'an City, and the edict will be issued to King Qin like at the beginning of the year, but what is the result? He didn't have any faith.
Li Tingzhi did not interfere with Su Liuyi's behavior in his territory, which is a signal in itself, he can doubt Li Tingzhi's selfishness, but he will never doubt his ability, otherwise the court will not put such a heavy burden on him, looking at the court, if he is removed, who can take over?
Things happened one after another, and the old man Wang wanted to die or not, but he occupied a key position, making him shrink from his actions. Fortunately, Ye Shaobao knew the opportunity and was unwilling to get involved, otherwise he, the Zuo Prime Minister under one person, would not be as comfortable as Li Tingzhi, and there would be results soon, he was still very young, and he could afford to wait, Chen Yizhong's mind was full of changes, and his face was also cloudy, and there was no calmness in the future.
