Chapter 109: Fueling the Flames
After Dai Quan returned to the Taiji Palace, he truthfully told the Emperor Taishang about the affairs in the Hanlin Courtyard.
The Emperor Taishang didn't care about Zhang Yuan's refusal at all, but just asked with interest: "What's so strange about this Lu Jing?" ”
"The minion didn't see anything else, but he found that he was bold, and the minion asked, he kept going around with the minion, so he almost refused this errand directly!" Dai Quan hurriedly replied, he was also a little curious about Lu Jing in his heart, but the emperor had an explanation, and he didn't dare to show anything.
"Bold, hehe, nothing else?" The Emperor said with a smile.
"Before the slave went, the emperor deliberately explained not to let the slave say more, and the slave didn't ask a few words!" Dai Quan replied that after the early dynasty, the emperor came to see the emperor and asked them to go to the Hanlin Academy.
Emperor Taishang nodded and said, "Since it is the emperor's intention, then you go to the emperor to restore your life!" ”
"The minions are gone!" Dai Quan knelt down, and then went out of the Taiji Palace to return to Emperor Yuanyong, but he felt that he couldn't understand the thoughts of the Emperor and the emperor more and more.
On Lu Jing's way home, he became more and more strange in his heart, the Emperor Taishang sent people to make a big battle, but there was some thunder and rain, saying that it was accountability, but it seemed to be to separate them from Peng Chu.
"Master, Master Cui is waiting for you in the mansion!" Before Lu Jing entered the door, Lu Zheng greeted him to report.
"Which Lady Cui?" Lu Jing wondered.
"Cui Zhifeng, a member of the Ministry of Rites, Master Cui, he is the youngest son of Scholar Cui and the only person in the Cui family in Beijing." Lu Zheng hurriedly said, "Yesterday, the master also asked the little one to investigate the matter of the Cui family. ”
Lu Zheng said, and then told Lu Jing about the situation of Cui Bo's family, and after Cui Bo left, the Cui family returned to their hometown in Shanxi.
"It's him, what's the matter with him?" Lu Jing had frequent questions in his heart.
He had some impressions of Cui Zhifeng, and the Longmen official who would take the test was Cui Zhifeng, but he was strange that he had no relationship with Cui Zhifeng, so what did Cui Zhifeng do with him.
"I don't know if it's small!" Lu Zheng replied.
Lu Jing had a lot of questions in his heart, and he didn't care about changing his clothes, so he went directly to see Cui Zhifeng.
After the two exchanged pleasantries, Cui Zhifeng said bluntly: "Tang came here suddenly, first, to apologize, and second, someone asked me to send you something." ”
"Back then, my father's affairs were implicated in many of the victims, and our Cui family has always felt deeply guilty, and I don't want you to be involved again now." Cui Zhifeng bowed.
Lu Jing hurriedly avoided it and replied: "The adults have tormented the students, the students have always admired Cui Daxue as a person, and they also sincerely admire Cui Daxue's talent and style. ”
"Although the student is a scholar, he will not change the hard work of Master Cui."
Cui Zhifeng's expression darkened, and he shook his head and said, "I didn't come here to persuade you, if I knew what Bo Xiu did in advance, I would definitely stop him." ”
"Don't mention the matter of the first test!" Cui Zhifeng sighed, some things are warm and cold, although his father won the name of the post-Qing Dynasty, but several of their brothers were implicated, the two brothers were deposed one after another, he has been an official for more than ten years, and he is still working in the Ministry of Rites.
After gathering his thoughts, Cui Zhifeng sighed and said: "Alas, if the work of the first test can be published, it is also a good thing, and you don't have to worry too much!" ”
Lu Jing sighed with emotion: "Lord Cui, please be relieved, there will be a day!" ”
Cui Zhifeng sighed in his heart, and then said the second thing: "On June 12, the emperor ordered someone to go to Shanxi and retrieve my father's manuscript, and now my father's manuscript is in my hands. ”
Lu Jing was shocked when he heard this, they only received the notice at eighteen, and the emperor made a move a few days ago, it seems that the emperor is planning this matter.
It's just that why did Master Cui tell himself about this, he immediately looked at Cui Zhifeng suspiciously.
Cui Zhifeng shook his head and said, "The emperor just ordered me to hand over the manuscript to you, and he didn't explain anything else." ”
"I'll keep the manuscript in a house, you can send someone to pick it up!" Cui Zhifeng immediately took out a note and handed it to Lu Jing.
After Lu Jing took the address, as soon as he spoke, Cui Zhifeng shook his head and said: "You don't have to ask me, to be honest, I don't know anything, if I hadn't heard what happened in the morning today, I wouldn't have known about it." ”
"I'm going to go to Zhao Xian's house next, so I won't bother Huai Jin!" Cui Zhifeng quickly said goodbye.
"Slow down, do you give me the manuscript alone, or do you have both of them?" Lu Jing asked hurriedly, he had too many doubts in his heart.
"You alone, before I came to you, I had already been to Lord Peng's house, Lord Peng was in prison for the first exam, Yu Yuli, I should visit!" Cui Zhifeng looked at Lu Jingdao with complicated eyes.
Lu Jing understood what Cui Zhifeng meant, and treated everyone equally, so as not to arouse suspicion, so he personally sent Cui Zhifeng out of the house.
After returning home, Lu Jing became more and more puzzled in his heart, what the emperor meant by handing over Cui Bo's manuscript to him, and there was no explanation, could it be a hint that he should take over the task of revision.
After Lu Jing couldn't figure out the essentials for a long time, he immediately ordered Wu Ze to take people and quietly retrieved Cui Bo's manuscript.
After getting the manuscript, Lu Jing opened it one by one, but did not find any clues from it.
After putting down the book, he summoned Wu Ze and asked him to investigate the people who came in and out of Xu Chengjing's mansion.
Since this matter is Xu Chengjing's head, he will definitely have follow-up actions, and he can only respond to all changes with the same now.
In Xu Chengjing's house, Yan Bin was kneeling on the ground to plead guilty to Xu Chengjing.
"You get up, people go tea and cool, ancient and modern, not to mention that twenty years have passed, and many people in the Hanlin Academy are gone!" Xu Chengjing took the list of people who were willing to play jointly, and said indifferently, if it didn't involve his own interests, Shilin Fenggu would be dispensable, he had expected this and dealt with it a long time ago.
Since Peng Chu was imprisoned, Yan Bin has secretly conspired with each other, trying to persuade some people to jointly play a joint performance to protect Peng Chu and oppose the rerevision of "Qianxing Shilu".
It's just that except for a dozen old Hanlin who are willing to come forward, most of them politely refused, if they only oppose the rebuilding of "Qianxing Shilu", they can co-author, but if they want to guarantee Peng Chu, it will be another matter.
"You will jointly submit this book tomorrow, and as for those who don't want to participate, hehe, you can take this article back and post it in the embassy." Xu Chengjing sneered and said, Hanlin Academy must be chaotic.
After Yan Bin took it, he only read a few words, his legs and stomach couldn't help but tremble, his tongue seemed to be knotted, and he was almost speechless with fear: "Old... Teacher... This... This..."
"Bastard, I've been with the old man for so long, I can't even bear this little thing!" Xu Chengjing reprimanded coldly.
"Students just, just..."Yan Bin replied weakly.
Xu Chengjing reprimanded: "Take a good look at the handwriting and payment on it, how to do it and teach you the old man?" ”
"Students, students, please teacher!" Yan Bin calmed down, knelt down and bowed his head, knowing that if this article was published, it would definitely cause an uproar.
"Stand up!" Xu Chengjing said coldly, and then explained how to explain this matter to Yan Bin.
"The students will do this!" Yan Bin swallowed.
After Yan Bin left, Xu Chengjing said to himself: "If you want to push the old man into the game, it's better for everyone to enter the game together!" ”
The next day, after Lu Jing came to the Hanlin Academy, he got together with Zhao Xian, Lu Xun, and Duan Ziyan and had a brief meeting.
They each talked about meeting Cui Zhifeng yesterday, and then several people agreed that they would act when the new editor-in-chief arrived.
After the few people separated, Lu Jing picked up the book and looked through it carefully, wanting to find out the difference between the last draft and the finished book, and see if he could find any clues to understand the emperor's thoughts.
It's a pity that after looking at it for a day, there is almost no difference between the two contents, and I am more and more incomprehensible to Emperor Yuanyong's thoughts.
On June 21, as soon as Lu Jing arrived at the Hanlin Academy, he saw Zhao Xian standing outside the door with a pale face.
As soon as Zhao Xian saw Lu Jing, he immediately greeted him and said hurriedly: "You are finally here, something big has happened!" ”
Lu Jing secretly said in his heart Sure enough, since he knew that the emperor was in it, he knew that what he had experienced in the past few days was just the beginning, and there were major events to happen in the future.
Then he persuaded him: "Brother Ling Mao, don't worry, the sky can't fall." ”
"This time it's different, the sky is really going to collapse!" Zhao Xian shook his head sadly, and then pulled Lu Jing to the national embassy.
Lu Jing saw that the bulletin wall of the embassy was full of people, some frightened, some panicked, and some faceless.
Many of them turned blue and wanted to tear something off the wall, but stopped when they saw the payment.
Lu Jing squeezed into the crowd, and after seeing the content posted on it, he felt like the mountain rain was coming and the wind was full of buildings.
In the first half of the article, the Yankang Dynasty seized the heir incident and several palace changes in history, and the second half of the article hid the battle, writing a harmonious scene of brothers, friends and brothers, and the last sentence was the finishing touch, "For thousands of years, everyone's mouth is difficult to block, and there are few things, how can the king's heart be comfortable?" ”
The payment is bloody, loyalty is difficult to send, Cui Xilie's book, the period is the end of the year of B, Jiashenyue, Wuzi, Zi is engraved.
Zhao Xian saw Lu Jing staring at the place where he was registering, and hurriedly said: "A few old Hanlin have confirmed that it is the handwriting of Scholar Cui University. ”
"In the twenty-fifth year of Yankang, Scholar Cui went away, can he still know what will happen after that?" Lu Jing shook his head and said, it was obvious that someone had forged Cui Bo's handwriting and wanted to make trouble.
"What shall we do?" Zhao Xian asked in a low voice.
"Wait and see!" Lu Jing also said in a low voice, this matter will inevitably be investigated, and when the time comes, he will naturally know who did it, but he doesn't know how many people will be implicated in the Hanlin Academy.
He still can't figure out what the emperor is going to do, and the only thing that is certain is that this article is definitely not what the emperor expected.
The emperor is the protagonist of the succession, the brothers are dead, the end is very miserable, and his own reputation is not good, and he will definitely not expose his shortcomings.
Now that Zhang Yuan and other bigwigs have not returned, the remaining people in the Hanlin Academy, the highest grade is only a bachelor.
They reluctantly presided over the situation, dispersed the crowd, and after explaining the matter to Yan Yan, they waited for Zhang Yuan and the others to return.
