Volume 3 The Wind and Clouds of the Two Capitals Chapter 91 The Wind and Rain Are Obscure
"This is the conclusion of Aiqing's ten-day examination?" Emperor Ling stared at the dozens of books piled up on the dragon case, and nodded slightly: "You have a heart, I am very relieved!" ”
"What do you personally think of my two princes?" There was a hint of anticipation in his calm eyes: "Or, what do you want to say to me?" ”
"Although the two princes are young, they each have the demeanor of kings!" Nan Ying struggled a little in his heart, and finally made the most rational answer: "The courtiers think that the princes still have a long way to grow, and it seems too early to draw conclusions now!" ”
"The younger brother just faithfully recorded every word and deed of the two princes in the ten days, and analyzed it slightly!" He smiled bitterly and said: "The final word, only the Holy Son of Heaven can make a wise and holy judgment!" ”
"You!" Emperor Ling shook his head and sighed: "Have you also learned the trick of false words and sophistry, hiding the edge and gathering Ying?" I want to hear the truth! ”
"In fact, Your Majesty has already made a choice, so why ask knowingly?" Nan Ying was bored in his heart, and he couldn't help but speak a little sharply: "Brother is thinking, does Your Majesty plan to suppress the He and Zhang families in the next step, and go to promote the queen mother's lineage?" ”
"You're not entirely right!" The Spirit Emperor was unexpectedly not angry, but said lightly: "It's not the next step, but I have already done this." Just two days ago, I had already worshiped Dong Zhuo as a former general, sealed the marquis of Taiwan, and ate thousands of households. ”
"Since Your Majesty has already dictated the cadres, why bother to make your subordinates do more!" Nan Ying said angrily: "It turns out that the investigation is all a lie, and Your Majesty is just pretending to be a gesture, in order to stop the mouths of those opponents!" ”
"Do I need to shut someone's mouth?" Emperor Ling's face finally sank: "What about He Jin and Zhang Rang?" The royal affairs, the great plan, will it be their turn to influence me? ”
"What's more, I don't plan to disclose the matter of the prince to anyone!" He stretched out two fingers: "Except for me in the world, only you and Wang Yue know!" ”
"Is that so?" Nan Ying sneered: "Then why did Your Majesty reward Dong Zhuo? Is this unclear to increase the strength of Dong Hou and his party? ”
"Actually, I'm not done with what I'm saying!" Emperor Ling said slowly: "Dong Zhuo is not the only one who has been rewarded, I have also named Dong Zhong, the captain of the guard, as the hussar general, and Dong Zhuo's brother Dong Min as the captain of the Fengche ......."
"What!" Nan Ying finally changed his color: "Your Majesty is so big about the Dong family, aren't you afraid of causing strong resistance from the general's faction?" ”
"Boycott?" The Spirit Emperor's cold face could not see a trace of abnormality: "No!" Because I also named He Miao as the general of the chariot cavalry, I heard that he is also your acquaintance, right? ”
"Your Majesty!" Nan Ying only felt that his palms were sweaty, and a strong feeling of uneasiness welled up in his heart, and he blurted out: "What does Your Majesty want?" Is it deliberately trying to provoke a fire between the two parties? ”
"I have to say, you're still very immature!" Emperor Ling snorted: "If Jia Xu is here, he will definitely not ask such a ridiculous question!" Do you want to know why......"
"I don't want to know!" Nan Ying suddenly shouted: "I just want to ask Your Majesty one thing, do you know that Dong Zhuo and I are enemies of life and death?" Where will you put me in such a way that you have lifted him up? ”
He was so angry that he omitted all the honorifics he should have.
"You?" Emperor Ling raised his eyebrows and said unhappily: "I originally intended to add you as the general of the expedition to the west, the commander of the lieutenant, which is enough to override Dong Zhuo, but you gave up in order to save Liu Tao's life, can you complain about me?" ”
"Dong Zhuo has made military achievements on the front line, if I don't reward him, won't I make the world criticize me and say that my rewards and punishments are unknown?" He waved his hand: "I still have to persuade you not to get involved in the battle between the He and Dong families." Because you already understand the choice I'm about to make! ”
"Yes! Brother I understand! Nanying's heart was completely cold when he heard this, and he said calmly: "May I ask Your Majesty, what else do you have to order?" If not, please retire! ”
"How could it not be?" Emperor Ling gushed endlessly: "I have several important matters to discuss with you, back then you once suggested that I select talents from the cold and commoners, after careful consideration, I decided to build a special school near the Hongdu Gate... Hey? Han Yang, are you listening to me? ”
Nanying didn't speak, but bowed, and walked straight out of the hall, but he didn't bother to speak anymore.
Emperor Ling was stunned for a long time before shaking his head and said, "This stinky boy, he is the only one in the world who dares to treat me like this!" ”
"Your Majesty is too cruel!" Wang Yue's voice sounded from the screen, and there was a hint of complexity in his voice: "How can he not be disheartened when he treats General Nan like this?" ”
"I, there's no way back!" The Spirit Emperor's voice lowered: "This is only the first step, if I cringe at this time, I will relent, can the plan for the rest continue?" ”
Wang Yue also sighed and was speechless.
"Sir, if Han Yang knew what I was going to do later, would he hate me?" Emperor Ling suddenly asked, "With his fiery temperament, he will definitely break with me, right?" ”
"Yes, definitely!" Wang Yue let out a long sigh.
"Therefore, this matter still has to be handled by the gentleman himself. Because I can't do things too well! Emperor Ling turned his face sideways and said in a low voice: "I don't want to see that Han Yang knows the truth in the future, but he still refuses to forgive me!" ”
Wang Yue nodded silently, and finally couldn't help it: "Why didn't Your Majesty explain everything to General Nan?" I believe that he will support His Majesty unreservedly, and it will never be possible..."
"No! This is also the reason why I ordered you to send a message to Jia Xu, because in the imperial capital, the only person who can see through me is him! Emperor Ling raised his head: "You must not expose the inner mystery to Han Yang!" Did he say yes? ”
"Jia Xu's answer is very strange..."Wang Yue hesitated for a moment: "He said that he has been obsessed with the pursuit of immortal paths in recent days, and has no intention of caring about mundane things for the time being, so he won't say anything to Han Yang!" ”
"What did you say!" The Spirit Emperor actually stood up straight, and said in a lost voice: "He, he!" Is there really such a strange person in the world who can predict the prophet? ”
"What prophet of the unknown?" Wang Yue was stunned and said, "What is Your Majesty talking about?" ”
"Nothing!" The Spirit Emperor let out a long breath, waved his hand and sighed, "By the way, sir, let's go and act according to the plan, I, I happen to be a little tired!" ”
It wasn't until Wang Yue disappeared into the hall that he smiled lightly: "What a good Jia Xu, did you see through that I would definitely use the curse of heaven to lay out?" With such a simple message, I can instantly grasp my intentions, and I am afraid that there is only one person in the world! ”
"I'm still too soft-hearted!" He laughed at himself and said lonely: "If I hadn't been worried too much in my heart, I wouldn't have been so troubled, let alone so troubled!" ”
Nanying walked out of the palace quickly, only to feel a sense of despair in his heart. Although he had already guessed that Emperor Ling would inevitably choose Liu Xie to succeed him, he never expected that he would cut down the grass and eradicate the roots and be so vicious.
The battle between He Dong and the two parties for succession has been going on for a long time, and it has always been Dong who is weak and He is strong, at this time, Emperor Ling seems to be impartial, and promotes the dignitaries of the Dong family and the He family at the same time, creating the illusion of maintaining balance, in fact, it is just to avoid the truth when he is eliminated in the next step!
At this time, the He family and the Dong family were only afraid that they were still in the dark, they would only think that the Son of Heaven was hesitating about who to appoint as the prince, but they didn't know that in the world, only Nanying understood that the sharp knife was about to fall on the head of the He family.
Why is this happening? Nanying was confused, shouldn't He Jin have died at the hands of Zhang Rang after the Spirit Emperor returned to heaven? Could it be that this is a change caused by yourself?
Wrong! Nanying suddenly stopped his steps and turned around to look in the direction of Beigong. He Jin and Zhang Rang are still in-laws and are the closest allies! If Emperor Ling wants to deal with He Jin, once the plan is launched, it is impossible to completely hide from Zhang Rang's ears and eyes, so does Emperor Ling want to clean up with Zhang Rang? Or ...... Nan Ying suddenly had an extremely terrible thought: Could it be that Zhang Rang had already given up He Jin, given up Liu Wei, and turned to the Empress Dowager Dong?
He couldn't help but feel cold, like falling into an ice cellar, is the battle between the palace and the palace really so cruel and terrifying? Even the friends of yesterday can be discarded......
A strong force came from behind him, and someone shouted, "What are you doing here?" Take your life! ”
"Ahh Nan Ying's heart shook violently, and a heart almost jumped out of his chest, and he reflexively pulled out the knife and slashed it behind him.
"Your grandma's!" The person behind him was obviously frightened, and scolded while flying back: "The surname is Nan, you are crazy!" ”
Nan Ying settled down, and then he recognized that the person behind him was Zhang Feng, no wonder he dared to quietly hide behind him and make such a joke! But I'm really afraid of whom!
He casually inserted the knife back into the sheath, and said with a rake: "Brother Feng still has the face to blame me?" Is this kind of joke okay too? Do you know that now the Liangzhou rebels and the people of the Heavenly Stem Branch are spreading people and want to take my life! If I hurt you by mistake in a state of high tension, then you are to blame! ”
"This ...... Not bad! Zhang Feng's face was full of anger, and he blushed and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you stinky boy a little, so I can't help but make a joke...... Next time, foolish brother should be careful! ”
"Let's go!" He dragged Nan Ying and said, "Foolish brother can find bitterness in looking for you, let's drink together!" You and my brother have a good drink! ”
"You're such an alcoholic!" Nan Ying couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he thought of Shicai's guess, and said with a forced smile: "The little brother still has important things to do, so I won't go to the house to disturb!" ”
"Who said they were going to my house?" Zhang Feng dragged him unrelentingly: "Empress Dowager Dong's birthday is imminent, the general convened colleagues in Beijing to discuss the birthday celebration, and my father went to the front line to work in the army, and my brother is to discuss matters on behalf of my father, where do I want to drink?" ”
"No, no, no!" When Nan Ying heard that he was going to the General's Mansion, he was even more troubled, and he pulled his hand and said, "You are discussing major matters on behalf of the Zhongchang Servants, so naturally you have to go." The junior brother is a lowly officer, and his qualifications are shallow, what do I do? ”
"What did you say?" Zhang Fengwei shouted: "Who doesn't know that you Nanhan Yang is the favorite general of the Son of Heaven, the first celebrity in the imperial capital, and you have just made a miraculous achievement, and the green clouds are just around the corner, how can you be so arrogant!" ”
"It was the general who personally asked me to invite you! How can you not go? He didn't care about the hard drag of thirty-seven twenty-one and said: "If you have anything to say, you will talk about it when you go!" ”
In front of the General's Mansion, there was a commotion, and more than a dozen guards from He Mansion were surrounding one person and shouting loudly.
Nanying was surprised, only to see that the man was about thirty years old, dressed in white, born elegant and elegant, and at this time he was standing with a proud face, and he didn't put the roaring and scolding people in He Fuzhong in his eyes.
"Someone's coming!" A steward of the He Mansion hurriedly walked out of the mansion and said sharply: "Take down this fanatic who has no one in his eyes!" ”
The guards were already impatient to wait, and they drank violently and hugged one after another.
"Stop!" Nanying finally couldn't help it, what's the matter with so many people bullying a literati?
"Who dares to meddle in things...", the manager of He Mansion was furious, turned around and drank, suddenly saw the appearance of Nanying in front of him, and immediately stopped, "Gu Dong" swallowed the second half of the words back into his stomach, and said with a smile: "It turned out that the general is coming!" ”
The rapid transformation of its face has reached the point of reaching the peak.
"What's going on?" Nan Ying frowned and said: "The general is a model in the world, a model for a hundred officials, you are so blatant in front of the mansion, are you not afraid of ruining his reputation?" ”
"General Rongyu!" The steward smiled bitterly: "It's not that the villain is smearing in front of the master, but that this person is really deceiving people too much..."
He pointed at the white-clothed scribe and said hatefully: "This person is the staff of the new Sikong Yang Ci, because his lord has returned to his hometown and province, and the special lord has come here to post and go to the banquet!" ”
"Then you still dare to take him?" Nanying was even more stunned: "Is this the way of hospitality?" ”
"The general doesn't know!" The steward said angrily: "This person only stayed in front of the mansion for a while, and then he was impatient, and then he actually took back the name in front of him, intending to leave!" This, this is simply not to put the general in his eyes! ”
"I see!" Nanying suddenly realized. It seems that this person is really unreasonable, such behavior is indeed a great disrespect to He Jin, no wonder the people of He Mansion are so angry!
The new Sikong Yang Ci? Is that the head of the Hongnong Yang family? Yes, Zhang Wen has been given the post of general of the chariot cavalry and is fighting the rebels on the front line. Also, Emperor Ling said that he had worshiped He Miao as the general of the chariot cavalry, but he didn't know what position was arranged for Zhang Wen? Today's official appointments and dismissals are really changing!
"That's it! That's it! Nan Ying waved his hand and said, "Look at the face of Ben General and Sikong, spare him once!" In front of the general, there is a general who will intercede! ”
"Humph! There is a general who stands out for him, and he is considered a lucky star! Of course, the steward knew the origin of Nanying, so he had to give up and say: "I hope this person can thank the general for his kindness!" ”
"In Xia Kongrong, thank you for your help!" The white-clothed scribe bowed neither humbly nor arrogantly, but there was obviously not much gratitude on his face.
"You're Kong Rong?" Nan Ying's eyes lit up, and he blurted out: "Mr.'s name, this general has been admired for a long time!" ”
Kong Rong heard Nan Ying praise his talent, and suddenly, a light of surprise appeared on his calm face, and he said abruptly: "The general has praised it!" Alas, haven't consulted the general yet? ”
"This general is the famous Changsheng general of this dynasty---- Nanying!" It was Zhang Feng who spoke, and he squinted at Kong Rong and said, "Anyway, he is also a guest of Sikong Mansion, so he has such a little knowledge?" ”
"It turned out to be Nanying Yang!" Kong Rong said movingly: "I am fortunate to be able to get the reputation of a general!" ”
"You and I are going to flatter each other!" Nan Ying finally had a good mood, he smiled and made a gesture of please: "Come, it's better to meet by chance, Brother Kong, please go first!" ”
Kong Rong changed his arrogant attitude, and was flattered and said: "Where should I be invited by the general?" Or the general please! ”
Nan Ying smiled and said, "Brother Kong, are you .......?" ”
Feeling the slightest coolness on his face, Nan Ying looked up, but saw that the heavy dark clouds were covering the sky, and the silky drizzle was quietly falling, and he couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "If you continue to be polite, you and I will inevitably have to get wet, won't it make the general laugh?" Or how about we go into the house together? ”
Kong Rong also smiled, and was about to readily agree, when he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and a knight rode his horse and galloped over, shouting: "General! The general stays! ”
"Gao Feng? What are you doing here? Nanying was surprised: "Why are you so anxious? ”
Gao Feng's face was as gloomy as a dark cloud in the sky, he rolled the saddle and dismounted, walked quickly to Nanying's side and said: "General, Sima Zhi has an accident, Gao Shuai, please go back immediately!" ”
"Something happened to him?" Nan Ying's heart trembled, he didn't care about asking in detail, and hurriedly apologized to Zhang Feng and Kong Rong: "Two of you, I'm afraid I'm just going to lose it!" General, please help sue for a crime! ”
In the voice of Zhang and Kong, Nan Ying walked down the halfway steps of He Mansion again, he looked up at the sky again, and his heart became heavier and heavier, what happened to Sima Zhi? This Luoyang day is really stormy!
