In the fifth year of Taihe, the second day of October, the second quarter of the afternoon.

Chang'an, Wannian County, Xiuzheng Fang, Yuwen's other industry.

The West Pavilion is an annex in the atrium, backed by a wall, small and elegant. A tall bookcase against the wall is full of legal classics, from the pre-Qin period to the Tang Dynasty, and so on, which obviously complements Yu Wending's position. On the three sides of the west pavilion, there are mullioned moon windows, and the north and south can see the vine and bamboo branches, which are sparse and elegant. The early afternoon sunlight pours in from the east window lattice, accompanied by the fragrance rising from the fragrance, which is refreshing.

In the middle of the west pavilion there is a large bamboo tea sea, and there is a small charcoal stove on the west side, on which a purple sand teapot is placed. This charcoal stove is used for boiling tea, and for heating, the season is in winter, but it is warm like spring in the West Pavilion. There is a futon on each of the remaining three sides of the tea sea, and when Mu Qingchen and Yuwending are sitting opposite each other, Mu Qingchen took out the famous thorns and secret stickers sent by Yuwending before, and placed them on the sea of tea, straight to the point, "Dare to ask what is the holy decree of Yuwen Yushi?" ”

Yu Wending glanced at the purple clay pot, and saw that there was a burst of white steam at the spout at this moment, so he got up from the front of the table, took two pottery tea bowls, lifted the teapot, twisted his wrist lightly, and filled the tea bowl close to Mu Qingchen's side.

To Mu Qingchen's surprise, what was boiled in this purple clay pot was not tea soup, not even clear tea, but just a cup of clear water.

Yu Wending also showed a look of surprise, he hurriedly put down the purple clay pot, and glanced at Mu Qingchen, "Laugh!" Then he walked to the door of the West Pavilion, beckoned a person from outside the West Pavilion, and scolded him.

After this brief little accident, Yu Wending sat back on Mu Qingchen's head, looking at Mu Qingchen's eyes like a sword, as if trying to confirm something from the other party's eyes, the two sides were silent, Yu Wending will lower his eyes lightly, take out a brocade silk from his arms, and carefully spread his hands on the sea of tea.

Wrapped in the brocade silk is a good bamboo xuan that has been folded in half several times.

"Ding's edict, or ...... with the king"

Mu Qingchen was shocked, and Yu Wending slowly unfolded Zhu Xuan and presented his hands to the other side. Mu Qingchen recognized the big seal printed at the end at a glance - this is the Shangshu Provincial Hall Post of the Son of Heaven's Imperial Pen!

The sage actually found the Imperial Doctor...... As Mu Qingchen read it word by word, he couldn't help but raise his eyes in disbelief, and the other party also calmly met Mu Qingchen's sharp gaze, and his lips smiled.

"This is indeed the ......handwriting of the saint," Mu Qingchen said worriedly, "but the date of signing the court post is the second month of the previous month, how can Qingchen not know?" ”

Yu Wending laughed, and said, "Xianggong doesn't really think ...... Would a saint put all his eggs in the same basket? ”

Mu Qingchen was silent, although he guessed that the Son of Heaven would win over his ministers who were not his own to do great things, but he never imagined that he was not the first person. However, what he wondered in his heart was that what Yuwending Shicai said did not answer the doubts in his heart, why he had never heard from the Son of Heaven that Yuwending was also involved in his conspiracy. If it weren't for the famous post delivered by Yu Wending half a moment ago, I am afraid that I would always think that I was fighting alone.

"Why did Yuwen Yushi invite Mu to come here today?"

"I'm ashamed to say it......" Yuwen Ding pinched the back of his neck with a little embarrassment, and then sat in front of him, his eyes burning, "Ding also learned recently, Xianggong was also invited by Gu Ming, entrusted by the Xuan Room, so he was suddenly invited today, and he is willing to conspire with great things and rejuvenate the saints!" ”

He said impassionedly at the end of his words, but the whole sentence did not reveal what he was planning, and the last four words aggravated the tone a little, it seems that the other party is the same as Mu Qingchen, he has no bottom in his heart, and he is testing each other. Mu Qingchen bowed his head slightly, crossed his hand in the upper left to show respect, and added, "I am willing to join the Yuan and the rebellious party with my feet......"

Hearing this, Yu Wending seemed to breathe a long sigh of relief, and his originally tight eyebrows and eyes stretched slightly.

"Qingchen has one more question."

"Minister, please talk about ......"

"How did Yuwen Yushi know that Qingchen was fighting against thieves with the secret edict?"

This question was very important, he never reported the matter to the courtiers other than Wang Fan, if there was a risk of leaking the scheme, he had to prepare in advance.

Yu Wending stroked the goat's whiskers on his chin, and met Mu Qingchen's gaze and said, "Intuition! ”

"Intuition?"

Yuwen Ding nodded, "Ding was born in a family of imperial history, his father was an official in the imperial history, and Ding has been in the imperial history for several years. This kind of intuition has always been accurate......"

Mu Qingchen's knife-like thick eyebrows frowned slightly, although he still had doubts in his heart, but this person dared to openly be the enemy of the forbidden army controlled by Beisi a few days ago, maybe the sage found this person the month before last, it really made sense.

At this time, the door of the West Pavilion was just opened, and a servant walked up to the head of the house with a tray. Mu Qingchen saw that there was a copper cup on the tray, which contained some kind of unpopular tea, and the color seemed to be not very fresh. Mu Qingchen had traveled to Shannan Dongdao for two or three years in his early years, and after thinking about it for a while, he remembered that this tea seemed to be too white and white red from Anlu.

Yu Wending rubbed his fingers in the tea pile, and said dissatisfiedly, "Isn't there any better tea left here?" How can it be this kind of aged tea? ”

The servants bowed their heads in a trembling manner, but did not say a word for a long time. Yu Wending's face was a little disgusted, so he waved his hand to let him retreat.

"Let Xiang Gong see and smile, Ding doesn't come often here, so he is not well prepared," Yu Wending said, poured a cup ......of hot water for Mu Qingchen, and then asked with his crossed hands, "Dare to ask Xiang Gong what is the strategy to eradicate the traitors forward?" ”

Mu Qingchen will use the Jingzhao Mansion soldiers to kill Zheng Zhu, and roughly talk about the matter of breaking Wang Shoucheng's wings. Yu Wending listened attentively, and nodded his head from time to time.

"Although Jun's plan is good, I am afraid that it will stop at Zheng Zhu alone, and it will be difficult to get rid of the treacherous!"

Mu Qingchen doubted: "What does Yuwen Gong mean?" ”

"Xiang Gong thinks about it carefully," Yuwen Ding pulled his sleeves forward, formed a fist with his right hand, slammed it on the palm of his left hand, and said in a low voice, "What kind of character is Zheng Zhu?" It is called the 'water tribe' in the court, the left humerus and right strand of General Wang, and a sharp nail that penetrates the southern ya. The traffic magnates are all out of their doors, and I don't know how many eyeliners are used by the court, how can it be so easy to be removed? ”

Mu Qingchen was a little unwilling, could it be that his previous plan had failed?

"What's the point?"

"The so-called success is taken in detail, and wealth is sought in danger...... Yu Wending smiled mysteriously, "If this plan is successful, the eunuch authority can be abolished in one fell swoop." ”

Yu Wending continued, "Instead of taking the initiative to attack, it is better to take advantage of the internal contradictions of the North Division, so as to make its internal attack, and the South Ya can sit back and reap the benefits!" ”

“…… The flying dragon made Ma Cunliang jealous of Wang Shoucheng's dominance, first went to Xichuan to announce the decree, and the newly returned privy envoy Qiu Shiliang also had a gap with Wang Shoucheng, if he was posted in the saint's hall, and then verbally promised to use him as the lieutenant of the right god army, replacing Wang Shoucheng, he would be able to bow his head! ”

Mu Qingchen couldn't help but gasp after hearing this, this is simply a move in the fire, comparable to gambling! He immediately realized the danger behind this plan, the foundation of Yuwending's plan is that Beisi is willing to kill each other, if Beisi is unwilling to join with Nanya, he Mu Qingchen, Yuwending, and even the saint will be put in an extremely dangerous situation.

"No!" Mu Qingchen unconsciously raised his voice a little higher: "This is simply seeking skin with a tiger!" ”

"Mu Xianggong...... What you planned can't be done! Yu Wending persuaded each other hard, knocking on the sea of tea and hurriedly said, "Zheng Zhu lives in Shanhe, and yesterday happened to be a fire in Shanhe, and for a while the fang was on alert, full of Wuhou, and all in and out must be strictly checked!" ”

“…… Wang Fan is now transferred again, and Jing Zhaoyin is vacant. Even if the new governor Yin is used by the king, and the government soldiers are fully prepared, he will be aware of it once he enters the good peace...... Even if Zheng Zhu is successfully killed, it will also startle the snake, and at present, it is difficult to hurt the eunuch's momentum, and there is even a risk of backlash. Look at it! ”

Mu Qingchen was silent for a long time, and somehow, he felt a strong sense of discomfort in his heart about Yu Wending's proposal. But he reluctantly found that what Yuwen Ding said was also true.

Yuwen Ding saw that the prime minister's attitude softened, so he said in a timely manner, "The plan proposed by Ding, you can do it privately, and it will be safe!" It's this Wang Fan, and I hope that the prime minister will take a little precautions......"

"Huh?" Mu Qingchen didn't know why? ”

Yuwen Ding stretched out an index finger, shook his head and said, "This Wang Fan, Ding Su knows, this person is good for profit, embarrassed by the big responsibility, this transfer, we also need to ensure that this person does not leak out what the saint is planning!" ”

As soon as Yu Wending's voice fell, there was a sudden sound of copper leakage from somewhere in the house, three links before and after, and noon had arrived. Mu Qingchen knew that he had been here for too long......

Mu Qingchen slowly got up from the sea of tea, Yuwending immediately understood when he saw this, and also stood up from the futon, and said to Mu Qingchen with a slight fork of his hand, "In order to avoid the attention of others, I also hope that it will be difficult for Xianggong Shuding to be sent to the door ......of the mansion."

Mu Qingchen nodded in understanding, and he solemnly bowed to Yu Wending. Although there are still many questions that have not been solved when he came to Xiuzheng Fang this time, it also let Mu Qingchen know that he is not fighting alone.

At least it seems......

"By the way, Mu Xianggong ......" After Yu Wending followed Mu Qingchen out of the West Pavilion, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Recently, there was a murder case of Pingkangfang forbidden soldiers to kill Qing Qi, I don't know if Xianggong has heard of it?" ”

"Huh?" Mu Qingchen raised his eyebrows, "Isn't this a case handled by Yuwen Yushi himself?" ”

"Exactly," Yu Wending smiled modestly, "At the scene of the crime, Ding had seen a weak crown, his appearance was dignified, his temperament was extraordinary, and there seemed to be a sixteen house seal ribbon on his waist...... Has the prime minister ever noticed? ”

This really touched Mu Qingchen's blind spot, Pingkangfang is a place for fragrant banquets, and Mu Qingchen has never set foot in it except for the fact that he has been with the same list once after being a junior sergeant.

"No, I haven't...... Dare to ask why this person would let the imperial history pay attention? ”

Yu Wending shook his head, touched his chin and snorted.

The two followed each other to the second gate, and Yu Wending stopped walking outside, but ordered the servants who had first extended the door of the mansion for Mu Qingchen to send Mu Qingchen outside the gate of the mansion.

Mu Qingchen turned over and got on his horse, and was about to go straight to Shangshu Province, but suddenly hesitated. He saw that there was no one else outside the mansion except for this servant, who was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and asked casually, "Does Ah Lang of the Ru family like to drink too white silver red?" ”

"Too white and red?" The servants didn't seem to understand at all.

"Autumn tea ...... from Anlu, Sannan East Province"

The servant laughed and said, "The minister misunderstood, how is it possible?" Ah Lang never drinks tea, only water! After finishing speaking, he copied his hands with some confusion and asked Mu Qingchen why he asked.

Mu Qingchen just shook his head and didn't answer, he pinched the horse's belly hard, and went straight to the west gate of the Xiuzheng Fang......
