Yang Erlu's eyes shrank, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

The man sneered and said, "Who will clean up this public case now?" This Zhao Gan, I don't know where to get so much private information of hundreds of officials, it seems that he is a faint man who imitates Jun Xiachen in order to take a shortcut to the position, but no matter what, there is no more suitable candidate to come forward to clean up the mess now.

Doesn't he know everything about the family affairs of hundreds of officials? Then let him do this merit test, at that time, who has anything to say? With him, in addition to sealing his mouth and throwing this mess to him to clean up, it can also prove that Brother Yang does not form a party, does not establish a faction, and is dedicated to the public, the king will be happy! ”

Yang Erlu listened and lowered his head again.

It makes sense to promote Zhao Gan, and if you go closer, let him achieve the goal of promotion, lest he learn from his subordinates and bite people like mad dogs, and these officials are desperately stuffing people into the list of candidate officials a few days ago. Now they all want to hide farther and farther.

In the distance, this official who elects officials is not so easy to do, no matter how balanced Zhao Gan's list is, he will definitely offend a group of people, and I don't know if he can finally become a queen eagle dog like Jun Xiachen, but he first pulled a group of enemies for him.

This is a whole method of killing people without seeing blood. However, ......, Yang Erlu thought about it repeatedly, and always felt that there were some joints that could not be scrutinized. He thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out all the purposes of the other party, but he analyzed his own strength clearly:

In any case, it would be beneficial for him to come down as he agreed. He agreed, and he would get a great boost right away. This gives him an advantage in winning the election when competing with Yao Gao. The next thing can only be implemented when he really becomes the prime minister, and if he becomes the prime minister, he will take advantage of the situation to make this request. Not only did he gain the Sacred Heart, but he also preserved the reputation of these officials, so that he could turn them into his own connections, and he could also gain a good reputation of selflessness among the government and the opposition, leaving a good impression on the queen that she was bold, capable, and dedicated to solving problems for the Son of Heaven.

Come to think of it. Yang Erlu picked up the wine glass and drank it all. "Snapped" the wine glass, and said in a deep voice: "Okay! That's it! ”

……

Tian Qiniang returned to the inner room of the palace with an unhappy face.

Recently, a series of things in the court made her very unhappy, and today she came to Longmen Xinggong Tangmu Hot Spring. Just to relax his anxious mood, who knew that Tian Sansi chased to the dragon gate again to cry and complain about his grievances.

Tian Qiniang had no choice but to climb out of the hot spring and change her clothes to meet her uncompetitive nephew. Listening to him nag and cry for a long time, he complained about his grievances. I sent him away impatiently.

Family and state affairs, how can it be so clear, this country and the whole world are hers, if Tian Sansi and Yao'er do things beautifully, so that others have nothing to say, she doesn't mind at all, but when things are done like this, Tian Qiniang will hate iron and steel a little.

"Someone!"

There was no one in the inner chamber. But as soon as Tian Qiniang gave an order, two slender figures immediately flashed ghostly. Stand there silently.

Plum blossom internal guard, when Tian Qiniang did not ascend the throne, has a variety of functions of spies, guards and waiters, but she has been on the throne for many years, and the plum blossom internal guard has only left the function of personal guards.

"What did Yao'er do?"

"Back to the king, Yao'er has been closed these days, and occasionally colleagues come to visit, and the highest grade is only five grades."

"Yao'er didn't go to the Changle Hou Mansion? Didn't go to Mrs. Mu's Mansion either? ”

"Nope!"

"Hmm!"

Tian Qiniang waved her hand, and the two female guards quietly disappeared.

Tian Qiniang secretly thought: "This Yao'er is also obedient, knows how to measure, and does not rely on doing things for three thoughts, so he is unscrupulous, begging everywhere, and attracting hundreds of officials to attack him, which is much stronger than that bastard thing in Shangxuan." ”

Tian Qiniang suddenly remembered the news that Lin'an Ling had just sent, Mu Shangxuan went to Lin'an Mansion and asked Lin'an Ling for 300 horses of silk and 25 cattle, and also waved the banner of the queen, saying that he was going to hold a big festival for her. Lin'an didn't dare not give it, but there was nowhere to report such a large account, so he had to report it to the queen.

Thinking of Mu Shangxuan, Tian Qiniang became more and more annoyed: "Yao'er, this kid is also clever when he looks at it, why did he make a mistake this time and leave so many handles for others." After all, she is young, once she has her ambition, she can't help but get carried away, this time, no matter what, she has to suffer some hardships, otherwise how to explain to the hundred officials? It's just that this matter must be ended as soon as possible, and it can't be investigated endlessly by Zhao Gan, and if it continues to be investigated, it will be the old woman and the Tian family who are ashamed! ”

Behind the screen, there was a sudden sound of splashing water and Zheng Anyi's laughter, Tian Qiniang's brows were slightly relaxed, and a smile appeared on her face. Now only when she is with the little Ailang, she will feel carefree and have a feeling of regaining her youth.

Tian Qiniang thought, gently pulled her belt, and walked away, with a graceful gait, vaguely recovering a little of her demeanor back then.

By the time she reached the screen, her wide robe had quietly faded......

……

The next day, the goal and intensity of the impeachment of officials began to change, and although the impeachment recital had not yet clearly pointed to Tian Sansi, the impeachment recital strongly demanded that the background of the selected officials be clarified and that the culprits behind the scenes were being cracked down on became louder and louder.

Jiang Dexu is already a rat crossing the street, and Jiang Dexu's faction is also being purged one after another. There is no need to ask the direction of this wind, it is aimed at Tian Sansi. As a matter of fact, a similar recital has already existed, so how could Tian Chengqian let go of this good opportunity to attack his political opponents in the same door? He had already instructed impeachment.

But Tian Chengqian has only made achievements in bewitching the people to petition, persuade him, and ask the queen to be crowned, and his practical ability is far less than Tian Sansi, and he has not established much power in the court for so many years, and his main connections are concentrated in those people within the Tian family.

Therefore, there are not many officials belonging to Tian Chengqian's faction, and even fewer people are qualified to speak for him, so it is impossible to form a great momentum. Now suddenly join a new force and echo his voice. The voices calling for the liquidation of the masterminds behind the election of the left and right officials are getting louder and louder.

Three days later, the queen, who was still relaxing in Longmen, suddenly summoned He Zhimiao, Gu Zili, Du Jingjian, Zhou Yunyuan, and Yang Erlu five ministers into the mountain to accompany them and give them Longmen soup baths. to show divine grace.

Among these five people, except for Yang Erlu, the other four have the status of prime ministers, and the queen's meaning could not be more obvious: the battle for prime ministers, so far the dust has settled, and Yang Erlu has won!

Coincidentally, the day when the five ministers went to Longmen. The first snow of the winter is here.

The snow was not heavy, and even the surface was not completely covered, so the people and horses walked away. Soon stepped out of the original shape of the road, but the temperature in the mountains and fields was lower than that of the flatland, and there were no cars, horses and pedestrians trampling on it, so it was covered with a thin layer of snow. It clothed the gray mountain with a layer of silver.

The five ministers arrived in the mountains. They were first taken to their lodgings, where there were hot springs everywhere, although it was the first snow and cold winter, but it was very warm here, and the five ministers were anxious to meet the queen because they had just arrived, and they did not take a long bath, so they simply soaked in the hot springs. Dressed neatly, they went to meet the queen together.

The queen was walking in the hot springs on the mountain. There was only Pei Kun with him. Because there is an extremely hot spring here, so this place is blessed, in the winter and snow season, there are green plants and trees nearby, hot springs gushing out, bubbling down, wisps of white mist, in the middle of it, like a fairyland.

The five ministers were led by the inner attendants, stepping on the snow, through the fog, and gradually entering the spring field. After a while, he turned around a clump of green, and saw Tian Qiniang standing under a flower tree talking and laughing with Pei Kun, and the five ministers felt relieved: "It seems that the queen is in a good mood today!" ”

Companions are like tigers, even if they are extremely powerful ministers, they don't dare to get along with the queen and king in anger. The five ministers didn't dare to look at it more, and when they arrived at the queen's side, they hurriedly gave a long salute: "The minister He is rebellious (Gu Zili, Du Jingjian, Zhou Yunyuan, Yang Erlu), I have seen the king!" ”

"Hehe, Zhong Aiqing has arrived. There is a hot spring in this mountain, which is as warm as spring, and the vegetation is vigorous, which is really a wonderful place in this cold winter season. Zhong Aiqing worked hard for the country and had a lot of hard work. It was the old woman who called you to let you rest and recuperate in this blessed place! ”

"The king cares so much, and the old minister is grateful to Dade!"

All the ministers thanked each other, Tian Qiniang turned around with a smile, broke off a branch from the flower tree, held it in her hand, looked at the pear blossom in full bloom and said: "This is close to the hot spring, and the plants and trees are evergreen, but the solar terms are not right, and there are not many flowers that can bloom." Only this pear tree, in such a season, is full of pear blossoms, which is also strange. Zhong Aiqing thinks that this pear blossom is in full bloom, what does it mean? ”

Yang Erlu didn't think about it, and immediately said: "The snow is falling, the wind is like a knife, but the pear blossoms are still blooming here, which shows that the king's holy virtue can even feel this heartless flowers and trees, so it can be born against the times!" Although Zhou Wen Wang De and Xingwei, it is nothing more than that! ”

The four prime ministers looked sideways at the same time, and secretly said in their hearts: "This Brother Yang Ren is so good at sycophancy!" ”

"Oh?"

Tian Qiniang glanced at the other four noncommittally, and smiled: "Do the four Aiqing also see it this way?" ”

Du Jingjian's heart moved, and he stepped forward and said: "I would like to press the "Biography of the Five Elements of Hong Fan": 'Yin and Yang are not compatible, and blasphemy is a disaster. "Spring and Autumn" clouds: "There is no sorrow in winter, no shadow in summer, no bleak wind in spring, and no bitter rain in autumn." In such a season, everything should wither and life wither, but here the pear blossoms are in full bloom. Yin and yang are against time, contrary to common sense, this is a bad omen, and the minister thinks that this is ...... It's a warning from heaven! ”

The other people all changed color when they heard this, but Tian Qiniang still smiled, only raised her eyebrows slightly, and said, "Oh? Is this a warning sign from heaven? Du Xiang thinks that the old woman has committed any sin? ”

Du Jingjian's face remained unchanged, and he said: "The king will be the minister of the state affairs commission, if there is anything wrong, it is also to blame on the ministers." The ministers and other prime ministers are the heads of the hundred officials, and the sons of heaven, yin and yang, and the four times of shun, and the four times of the next are the appropriateness of all things, and the princes of the four yi are appeased outside, and the people are attached to the inside, so that the doctors can each take their posts. There is a warning from God today, it is a dereliction of duty! ”

Tian Qiniang threw the pear blossom into the hot spring water, watched the flower branches flow with the spring water, and said lightly: "The court, it's really chaotic now!" ”

The ministers were in their hearts, and they all arched their hands and said, "The ministers are guilty!" ”

Tian Qiniang said again: "Since it is chaotic, as the ruler, you Aiqing should seek treatment in time and share the worries of the old woman!" ”

The ministers bowed their hands again: "The ministers obey the holy decree!" ”

Tian Qiniang turned around slightly, flicked her sleeves, and said: "All the secretaries work hard for the country, all of them are gray-haired, and occasionally make mistakes, how can the old woman bear to add to the crime?" Seeing Zhongqing today, the old woman couldn't help but think of Jiang Dexu, Jiang Dexu is the prime minister, although he has made a mistake, he has also made merits. With such a heavy snow and cold winter, it must be even harder for him to go all the way to Lingnan, old woman...... I can't bear it. The old woman wants to summon him to Beijing to be a supervisor of the imperial history, what do the Qing family think? ”

The five ministers said in unison: "The king is merciful, Jiang Dexu must be deeply gracious!" ”

Pei Kun's eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed: "The queen wants to tell the civil and military officials and the Marquis of Weiyang, if you want to see it, you will accept it, even Jiang Dexu has let it go, can you still chase Tian Sansi and not let go?" Then Yao'er is also ......"

Thinking of this section, Pei Kun's originally slightly lonely face was glorious, just like the newly blooming pear blossoms on the branches, the powder was light and fragrant, and the beauty was as beautiful as clear snow. Unexpectedly, Tian Qiniang's face sank, and she said: "That Yao'er's heart quality is also good, but this time, she is slack in her duties, and she is indeed guilty, so she must not be punished, so let her ......"

Pei Kun's heart suddenly hung up again.

Tian Qiniang didn't seem to be able to figure out how to deal with Yao'er, if she didn't punish her, she couldn't explain it to the government and the opposition. Punish her, she stabbed a leak for the Tian family, Tian Qiniang turned her eyes, and suddenly saw the steaming hot spring, and suddenly had an idea: "Hmm! Let her come to Longmen and be the hot spring soup supervisor! ”

……

At the foot of Longmen Mountain, there were several officials standing alone.

Up and down the mountain, a vast expanse, this is already the third snow after the winter, the earth is finally wrapped in snow-white fur, white velvet.

The location of the mountain pass is the whole place where the mountain wind is whistling in and out, so a few small officials in green and green official robes and a few handymen in two clothes stood for a while, then put their sleeves into their arms, stomped their feet, and their faces were stiff from the cold.

A middle-aged man in a green shirt sniffed and looked out of the mountain, where a gust of mountain wind happened to blow out of the valley and rolled the snow foam into his neck. The man in the green shirt shuddered, quickly shrunk his neck, and said to an old man in a green robe, with a hooked nose and a fleshless face: "Xue Tangcheng, it's too windy here, why don't we go back to the mountains and wait, our bodies are almost freezing." ”

The hook-nosed Tang Cheng was also so cold that his face was blue, his muscles were stiff, and he couldn't even make an expression, he just snorted coldly, stomped his feet, warmed his body, and said: "Xu Lushi, if you want to go back, go back, don't blame the old brother for not telling you, our soup supervisor, don't look at it now, but there are Changle Hou and Mrs. Mu on the top of the family, Kou Qing Palace, the officials, everyone is a beautiful person, maybe one day it will soar into the sky, it is still majestic." Even if people have to squat in this ravine for the rest of their lives, hehe! ”

Xue Tangcheng glanced at him and said coldly: "The person who can hold Kou Qinggong in his hands and single-handedly defeat the Yushitai, you weigh it in your own heart, what kind of ruthless character is that, you ...... Offended don't get up! (To be continued......)
