The emperor sat in the south study, his face ugly under the light.

"What did Cui Yiting say?" The emperor looked at the chamberlain beside him, and the chamberlain immediately brought hot tea.

Cao Yiwei, who was standing at the bottom, said: "It's about something to do with Deng Sichang, Fujian and Guangdong have successively entered Beijing, and now when the emperor dares to summon Wang Lujiang, they all say that the emperor listened to Lord Cui's words......"

The Emperor raised his eyes, "It's not that nice, is it?" It is said that I listened to the slanderous rumors of traitors, and it was I who wanted to recruit King Lu Jiang, not him Cui Yiting, and now because Cui Yiting did this errand, he has become the target of public criticism, and I think it will not be long before someone will come to force the palace with the flag on the side of the Qing monarch. ”

"It's just killing a Deng Sichang, it's like tearing their hearts, if the sea ban is really opened in a few days, where can they take care of what is a king and what is a minister."

Cao Yishi lowered his head, and the emperor's voice was endless.

The emperor said, "What else do you say?" ”

Cao didn't dare to say anything, and lowered his head.

The emperor sneered, "Say, I am the emperor of the Great Zhou, and I will not be intimidated by these rebellious ministers and thieves." ”

Cao Yi said: "It's nothing more than wanting to talk about the ancestral system of the emperor, saying that the emperor often disobeyed his father's teachings when he was young. ”

It is contrary to the teachings of the father.

These words were written to him by the first emperor, at that time he wanted to reform the horse administration, united several imperial historians, and wanted to implement the new policy, but in exchange for the scolding of the emperor.

He thought about it behind closed doors and spent a lonely year in the study, but he didn't expect the emperor to talk about him again. The amount of gas is small, and it is not a big deal.

Now these people are bringing up the old things again, because they want to say that the person who the former emperor wants to pass on the throne is not him, but King Duan.

"No wonder I ascended the throne. There are still so many people who support Duanwang, and that's because Duanwang can make them rich. After the emperor said this, he coughed violently, after so many years of hard work, there are still people who bring up the old things again.

The palace people hurriedly stepped forward to serve the emperor, and the emperor shook his hand.

Cao Yishi immediately said: "The emperor has been on the throne for so many years, and the rectification of the rule of officials is for the people of the world, which is obvious to all. The reason why those people brought up the old matter again was because they wanted to obstruct the new policy and incite the officials of the court. If they split their factions, they can make a big deal out of it. ”

The Emperor raised his eyes," continued. ”

Cao Yan said: "Weichen doesn't know if what he said is right or not, there is chaos in the court." The New Deal will not be implemented. Once those old ministers during the reign of the first emperor were instigated, they would bring out the favor of the first emperor to argue, and there would inevitably be a big incident at that time, so ...... The court can't be chaotic, so it's better to hand it over to Jinyiwei to do it, and interrogate the Gao Cheng party overnight to see how many henchmen are among them and what they are plotting. ”

Since you can't make a noise. Give it to the people you trust most.

The emperor nodded, "Cui Yiting also wants to help me implement the new policy." The matter of interrogating and handling the case can't fall on him," he said, looking at Cao Yanshi, "You go and do it, I don't worry." ”

Cao Yishi bowed down and said: "The minister should do his best. ”

The emperor said: "As long as there is an implication with Deng Sichang, whether it is an official in Fujian and Guangdong, or an official in honor or Beijing, give me a clear investigation, and don't leave any one behind. ”

……

Cui Yiting only stepped into the house in the middle of the night.

Wan Ning leaned on the edge of the bed and fell asleep, and when she heard the sound outside, she immediately put on her shoes and got out of bed.

Cui Yiting opened the curtain and just walked into the house, he saw Wanning's concerned eyes, she hadn't slept so late, she was worried about him, watching her stand on tiptoe and prepare to help him unbutton, he couldn't help but brush his hand up, and unbuttoned it neatly.

"Why don't you go to sleep first, your eyes are red."

Cui Yiting changed into a middle coat, the two of them leaned on the head of the bed, Wan Ning put the book in her hand under the pillow, and she suddenly felt comfortable lying on the soft bed.

"The emperor handed over Gao Cheng's case to Jinyiwei."

Wan Ning listened to Cui Yiting's very natural words, and the little sleepiness in her mind was suddenly driven away, and a smile appeared on her face, "That's fine." ”

Cui Yiting chose to enter Jinyiwei, he must be a little sure, and he will never go in alone to break in, so if anything involves Jinyiwei, Cui Yiting can call the shots.

"Is there any clue over there?"

Seeing that she was interested, I am afraid that I will not be able to finish talking like this until dawn, he is not afraid, and her little face with a big slap will not be lost if she loses weight.

Cui Yiting yawned, "I'm sleepy, I'll talk about it after a while." ”

The long arm reached over, and the light went out.

Wan Ning felt strange and wanted to look up, but the hand fell on her waist and hugged her firmly, "I will go to the yamen early tomorrow morning." ”

Listening to his lazy complaints, she had no choice but to close her eyes.

The sound of his breathing slowly evened out, and Wan Ning was completely relieved, let out a long sigh of relief, and soon fell asleep.

Cui Yiting opened his eyes and looked at her blurred face in the moonlight, he gently brushed away the long hair on her cheeks, lowered his head slightly, and the faint fragrance of flowers in her hair reached the end of his nose, and he suddenly felt sleepy.

She was so smart, how could she not know that he was lying to her.

In the end, people have strengths and weaknesses, and her shortcomings lie in herself.

Caring too much about others, when it comes to herself, many things are not so clear, since he knew her, she has been busy for others, even if she marries in, she is also thinking about him.

When will she calculate and make her more comfortable.

When Wanning got up, she found that Cui Yiting was gone, and there were only traces of a person lying on the bed.

The rain went into the house to wait for Wanning to dress.

Wan Ning turned her head and asked, "Where did the second master go?" ”

Luo Yu said: "I went to the Yamen, the second master said, let you ask your wife to say goodbye, go to the small study on the hillside in the garden, and help him find a few books to come out, the books are not easy to find, let you turn them slowly." ”

Wan Ning nodded and went to greet Mrs. Cui.

Mrs. Cui said with a smile: "Yiting said that he wanted to trouble you to find two books, the study room was used by him a few days ago, and others were not allowed to go there." ”

Presumably a very important book.

He was talking. Mother Song came in and said, "The clan has come to pick up the uncle and grandmother's family, and the grandmother is coming to kowtow to you." ”

Mrs. Cui shook her head, "Excuse me." Let her go to the second master's house and be filial to the second wife. ”

Su Yun and Duan, one is unsympathetic, the other is conspiratorial and calculating, after yesterday, both of them know how to save a life, and they will no longer talk nonsense.

However, Su Yun's identity Duan couldn't be clearer. took over the next concubine like this, you can imagine how uncomfortable she will be, and Su Yun also knows that her man was killed by the Duan family. I will inevitably guard against the Duan family in my heart, although I have become a master, I will not have an easy life in the future, and now the two of them live under the same roof. also answered that sentence. The wicked have their own grinding.

Wan Ning came out of Mrs. Cui's house and went straight to the small study.

Climb the stairs, the hillside is full of magnolia flowers, as soon as the wind blows, the faint fragrance of flowers is sent to the nose, Wan Ning looks around, this study is actually the best place for the Cui family, planting bamboo in front and planting flowers in the back, standing on the stone road, you can see the entire Cui family. There's a sense of condescension.

After standing for a while, Wan Ning entered the house.

There was an incense burner lit in the room. The room was a goose-yellow tent, the bookshelves were full of all kinds of books, and there were a few pillows on the small kang in the inner room, and a small table of peony blossoms, on which were placed a few plates of pastries, and two books.

Wan Ning looked at Mother Tong, "Is there anyone here?" ”

Tong's mother said: "The people outside said that the second master came before he went to the yamen, and ordered the small kitchen to make snacks and send them up. ”

Wan Ning walked over and picked up the book on the small table to read, it was the local chronicle she liked to read.

Mother Tong pursed her lips and smiled on the side, "It's still thoughtful that the second master thinks." ”

Wan Ning sat down with a book in her hand, and occasionally heard a few birds chirping outside, which made it seem more quiet and quiet here.

Where Cui Yiting asked her to find books, and let her be lazy openly, even if she slept dizzily here, no one knew.

Mother Tong said: "It's okay for you to be here, the old man is losing his temper over there, so as not to ask you about anything." ”

Wan Ning began to flip through the book in her hand, "When the second master comes back, come and talk to me." ”

……

Cui Shitu looked at the people who were kneeling on the ground and were sent to Tongzhou by him.

These people have not heard from them for several days, and suddenly they came back early in the morning, and their faces were full of horror, as if they had encountered something terrible.

"Master," said Steward Yang, "we were calculated before we arrived in Tongzhou, and we were locked up in a room, and we were asked for a few days, and we were only released yesterday." ”

Cui Shitu couldn't help but be stunned.

What's going on, if someone wants to harm him, how can he arrest and release him?

"Where's Steward Tang?" Cui Shitu asked.

Steward Yang shook his head, "When we were arrested, there were still a few less Steward Tang and Xiang San when we were released." "They searched around but didn't see their figures.

Steward Tang is an old man in the family, and he has done a lot of things for the master, as long as they think that they may have encountered an accident, they will inevitably be frightened and sad.

Cui Shitu thought carefully, "What did I ask you?" ”

Steward Yang said: "Ask us which family we are from and what we are doing in Tongzhou." ”

Cui Shitu said: "Did you say that? ”

"No," said Steward Yang, "I have already asked, and none of the people I brought back have said." "What the master confessed, they can't say even if they die.

Could Steward Tang be killed because of this?

If he hadn't been killed, would he have said something and been taken away, and he would have used it against the master in the future.

Cui Shitu then asked, "Have you ever gone to Tongzhou?" ”

Steward Yang said: "We thought we wanted to come back to report the news, but we didn't dare to go over again." ”

Cui Shitu nodded, let Steward Yang retreat, and he sat in the chair for a while, his face gloomy.

The whole thing is full of strangeness, obviously someone has already found out his secret, and also caught his handle, but it is so quiet, nothing happens.

If the person who arrested Tang Steward didn't want to calculate him, who would it be?

Cui Shitu frowned, "Call the second master over, I have something to ask him." ”

……

Cui Yiting returned to the small study from the yamen, and He Ying whispered, "Those who can't say anything about interrogation have returned to the mansion." ”

Cui Yiting nodded, "They don't talk about it, and they don't know much." ”

Unlike Steward Tang, who knew more and revealed the news in exchange for gold and silver.

Cui Yiting said: "It must be done cleanly, and there can be no trace of clues left in Tongzhou." ”

He Yingdao: "I heard that Wang Lujiang brought a lot of things from the sea, and the merchant Jia had already started to buy a yard in Tongzhou, ready to live and see the situation. ”
