Chapter 579: Tune the tiger out of Beijing
On the side of Zhaoyang Palace, because I heard that I found a place where purple bamboo bloomed, it was surprising.
Shen Wenqing and others congratulated Xiao Jinxuan again and again, feeling that the other party was hopeful of recovery.
In fact, because of this news, it was not only Zhou Xianchen and others who felt happy for Xiao Jinxuan.
Zhou Xianyu, who was announced to the imperial study because of this matter, was extremely excited when he received the news about Zizhu handed over by Zhou Xianrui.
After all, the more purple bamboos that bloom, the greater the possibility of refining Yama Tears.
Now in Zhou Xianyu's heart, there is nothing more important and urgent than Xiao Jinxuan's weak memory and the poison in his body.
Therefore, when Zhou Xianyu finished reading the recital, he saw that the second place where purple bamboo bloomed was actually in Gansu.
For a while, he couldn't help frowning and said, "From Jingshi to Gansu, it will be delayed for several months on the way. Jinxuan is not in good health now, and she and her mother are like fire and water, and it is difficult for me to feel at ease when she is left alone in Beijing. ”
Having said this, Zhou Xianyu couldn't help but think about it, and then said:
"Brother Huang, look at the idea of the younger brother, anyway, Jinxuan will have to leave the palace sooner or later. And after the purple bamboo rice is collected, it must be warmed with internal force, so it is better for me to take Jinxuan to Gansu together. In this way, the queen mother will not deliberately make things difficult, and those tiresome rumors will not hurt Xuan'er. I don't have to worry about her every day because I am separated from Jinxuan, and I can't rest assured. ”
Although Zhou Xianyu's idea can be called the best of both worlds, Zhou Xianrui is now murderous towards Xiao Jinxuan, how can he give the other party a chance to leave the palace and get out of his control.
Therefore, seeing that Zhou Xianrui didn't think about it, he directly refused to persuade:
"Seventh brother is a brother who thinks that your method is inappropriate, after all, Jinxuan now has to carry out medicinal bath fumigation every month, although you can bring the five poisons and one of the medicinal materials, but it is not convenient in the palace. And isn't there still me on the queen mother's side, the royal brother promised you that when you come back, you will definitely hand over an intact Xiao Jinxuan in your hands. ”
When Zhou Xianyu heard this, he suddenly felt that he seemed to be too nervous Xiao Jinxuan, after all, it was only a few months apart, and he didn't have anything to worry about with Zhou Xianrui's words.
And Zhou Xianrui, who will take the letter from Gansu in his hand, said as if unintentionally:
"If you really want to go to Gansu in person, if you don't have your share in the government, the imperial brother will have to be busy. Especially on the side of the Military Aircraft Department, I'm afraid I will have to find someone to replace you, I don't know if my brother has a suitable candidate to recommend. ”
When it comes to the political affairs of the previous dynasty, Zhou Xianyu's expression also became serious.
Since the death of Emperor Ming, Zhou Xianyu felt that he was indeed unfilial before, and he couldn't let go of the death of his mother in his heart, but he complained about Emperor Ming for so many years, and the father and son didn't even have a good heart-to-heart conversation.
Therefore, today's Zhou Xianyu has tasted the bitterness of his son who wants to raise but does not wait for his relatives, so he has devoted a lifetime to Emperor Ming to the Great Zhou Dynasty.
What his son can do is to guard this mountain and river for the other party, assist Zhou Xianrui, the imperial brother, and give Great Zhou a peaceful and prosperous world.
Therefore, although Zhou Xianyu was not interested in government affairs, it was because the mother concubine of Huangfu Yingyue died under the oppression of the interests of the imperial power of the two countries, so he was a little resistant to being trapped in the court.
Therefore, thinking that he would leave with Xiao Jinxuan sooner or later, it was also extremely necessary for the character who would replace him now to be good-looking.
So after Zhou Xianyu thought about it carefully, he recommended Zhou Xianrui:
"If the imperial brother can convince hundreds of thousands of generals and soldiers to follow me in my Great Zhou, in fact, it may not be only me Zhou Xianyu who can sit firmly in the position of the military aircraft, and the Xiao family of the Shuai Mansion is also convincing. Didn't the imperial brother also say that the old marshal Xiao was old and wanted to allow him to stay in Beijing, and the younger brother felt that it was appropriate to ask the old marshal to unload the burden of the expedition and then guard the military aircraft. ”
In fact, Zhou Xianyu's proposal, when Zhou Xianrui didn't know Xiao Jinxuan's life experience and the secret connection between the Shuai Mansion and Beirong, he actually had this plan.
But now Zhou Xianrui has almost no trust in the people of the Shuaifu, and he is still in a vigilant mentality, and the Military Aircraft Department commands all the armies of the Great Zhou.
He didn't dare to put Xiao Sanjiang in this position now, for fear that the other party would unite with Beirong to become an internal response in the future, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
But Zhou Xianrui knew that his seventh brother, because he was also a fierce general on the battlefield, so Zhou Xianyu was extremely respectful and respectful to the Shuai Mansion.
Therefore, his worries could not be said frankly to Zhou Xianyu, and the longer he ascended the throne as emperor, Zhou Xianrui found that he had to bear more things alone.
I don't know when even the seventh brother Zhou Xianyu, who has been trusted by him, has always been in his heart.
He also began to guard against cheating, and he couldn't really be brothers, and his profits were gone.
Restraining the helpless sadness in his heart, Zhou Xianrui continued with an unchanged expression:
"Actually, like Xianyu, I also think that Marshal Xiao is the most suitable. However, the old marshal is famous, and with him stationed on the frontier, no one in the hundred countries dares to act rashly against my Great Zhou. Therefore, when I first ascended the throne, I still planned to work hard for the old marshal for a few years, so that the other party would continue to stay on the frontier. Moreover, it has been more than half a year since Xiao Jiajun returned to Beijing, and I mean that I plan to let them return to the Biansai garrison in the near future, so the candidates for the Military Aircraft Department will have to find someone else from the beginning. ”
Hearing this, Zhou Xianyu didn't think there was anything wrong with this imperial brother's arrangement.
As a military general, who is not ready for the horse leather shroud, although Xiao Sanjiang is old, he is indeed the best candidate to guard the frontier.
In addition, he has always trusted Zhou Xianrui, so he didn't expect that this imperial brother's arrangement for Xiao Jiajun this time had another deep meaning, and it was even a hidden murderous intention.
As for Zhou Xianyu, after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't help but recommend it again:
"If the Xiao family wants to lead the troops back to the frontier, then the younger brother feels that since I have only been away for a few months, and the imperial brother can't think of a suitable military general for a while. That Xianyu recommended one person, I think Guo Yi can be in this position. Although he is a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, he is flexible and strong, and the Military Aircraft Department is not to train soldiers and horses, but to coordinate the Great Zhou army, so I think Lord Guo will be able to deal with it properly. ”
In fact, Zhou Xianyu and Guo Yi knew each other for a long time, and when he and Xiao Jinxuan fell into the town, he felt that this person was indeed a rare talent.
But now Guo Yi has not been short in Beijing for a while, and the official position of the Ministry of Rites seems to be not low, but he has no real power in his hands.
In Zhou Xianyu's opinion, the other party's ability can't even play the third layer at all.
Therefore, he will recommend Guo Yi now, not because he cares about personal relationships, but because he wants to give the other party a chance to show his ability to Zhou Xianrui.
If it can be reused from now on, Zhou Xianyu will also be happy to see it.
But hearing this, Zhou Xianrui, who was sitting on the dragon chair, categorically refused without thinking about it.
After all, when he was still the prince, Guo Yi's uninhibited personality made him extremely disliked and even bored.
The relationship between the two deteriorated to the point where Guo Yi came to the door, and Zhou Xianrui didn't even let the other party enter the palace.
Therefore, after thinking about it, Zhou Xianrui couldn't help but advocate:
"Seventh brother, since you think that it is okay for Wenchen to be in charge of the military aircraft, then I think it is okay to ask Prime Minister Meng Cheng to take charge of the service. After all, Meng Aiqing is the head of the hundred officials, and the military aircraft is temporarily empty, and it is most reasonable for him to operate it. You are the capital of the Military Aircraft Department, do you think it is appropriate for the imperial brother to arrange it like this. ”
Putting aside Xiao Jinxuan's matter, Zhou Xianrui still relies on Zhou Xianyu's younger brother very much and trusts.
The only thing he was worried about was that once Xiao Jinxuan had different intentions, this seventh brother would be bewitched and do something unfavorable to the imperial court.
But Zhou Xianrui felt that these were all trivial matters, as long as there was no Xiao Jinxuan, then this potential danger would be completely eliminated.
Even if he knew that this was too cruel for Zhou Xianyu, as long as the Great Zhou Jiangshan Society was okay, Zhou Xianrui would even be willing to give it up himself, and there was nothing he couldn't do ruthlessly.
As for the candidate proposed by Zhou Xianrui, this Meng Cheng Prime Minister, Zhou Xianyu knew that it was Meng Mian who was referring to.
When Empress Xue and them launched a rebellion to force the palace, Meng Mian was already a scholar at that time, and he was the first to stand up against it.
Later, he was not only dismissed from office, but also put in prison, just waiting for Zhou Xiantai to ascend the throne as emperor, and after the situation stabilized, he launched the noon gate and beheaded Liwei.
It was also during that time that Meng Mian's wife, who was already pregnant, Xiao Jinwen, the eldest lady of the Shuai Mansion, fell into the hands of Ji Lingfeng when the Meng Mansion was raided.
was later pressed to the front of the battle, and was taken hostage with the ladies of the Shuai Mansion to exchange Xiao Jinyu.
That period can be described as the bleakest time in Mengfu, Xiao Jinwen was frightened and miscarried afterwards, and her body has not been well until now.
And Meng Mian almost entered the body by the cold and died in the prison, and he held on until Zhou Xian occupied the imperial city and was saved.
After Zhou Xianrui ascended the throne, Meng Mian was the emperor, and with the five cars of Xuefu, he was the best in ancient and modern times, and was extremely valued.
Even after the complete collapse of the Xue family in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Meng Mian was worshiped by Zhou Xianrui as the prime minister, ranking first among the ministers, and he was also the youngest prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Hearing that Zhou Xianrui felt that the suitable candidate was Meng Mian, although Zhou Xianyu had some regrets, Guo Yi would continue to be buried.
But there is no objection to this arrangement, so I can go down and prepare to start arranging and docking official affairs.
Zhou Xianrui naturally wouldn't stop him, but before Zhou Xianyu was about to go out of the imperial study, he suddenly stopped the other party, then chuckled, and said in the usual tone:
"Xianyu, you have been gone for several months, don't take the time to alarm the others in the palace, go and say goodbye to Jinxuan. After all, I don't know when I want to say goodbye, and you and each other have a good talk, and it will save each other from being at ease. ”
Hearing this, Zhou Xianyu thought that he had beaten Zhou Xianrui since he fell ill, and he was busy with the previous dynasty day and night, and he had indeed not seen Xiao Jinxuan for a while.
Immediately, after thanking Zhou Xianrui for his careful reminder, he walked out of the imperial study with a hint of evil smile on his face.
But almost the moment when the door of the imperial study was newly closed, Zhou Xianrui, who still looked as usual, took the Gansu book in his hand and tore it into waste paper with a few coughs.
"Xianyu, don't blame your brother for deceiving you, but if you are in Beijing, it will be difficult for Jinxuan to get rid of you. There is always a **** who will understand that what the imperial brother did was for my Great Zhou. The last thing I can do for you is just to let you and Jinxuan get a moment together before saying goodbye. On the day you come back, I hope that the friendship between you and my brother will last forever, and I hope you can forgive the royal brother for the decision he made today! ”
