Chapter Eighty-Eight: Yan Kui Who Ran Away
Mother Wu finally saw Yan Kui.
As a doorman sent to the house, it is obviously impossible to be on this errand if you don't know how to read, and if you send Wu's mother before, it's just that this Yanfu doorman doesn't want to take care of Wu's mother's stubble.
Later, under Wu's mother's kind words and money offensive, Yanfu Menzi took the token from Wu's mother with a slight impatience, and then his frightened eyes almost popped out by the palace words on the token.
He didn't know the authenticity of this brand, but he knew that no one dared to eat the bear's heart and leopard's gall, imitating such palace objects.
Even if he is a bold person, it is Yan Kui's business, and it has nothing to do with him, and his task is to report this matter to his own adults as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Menzi squeezed out a trace of flattery on his face, and carefully returned the token to Wu's mother: "Mama...... You wait a while, and the little one will report back to you. ”
Mother Wu waved her hand coyly, to be honest, she didn't expect to reveal her identity in front of a disciple before she came, especially before she also reported her identity in Chunyuan Building, but if she didn't report it, how could she see Yan Kui for a while.
In addition, she was frightened by Liu Qiniang before she came, and Wu's mother was upset at this time, and she naturally lost her sense of proportion.
It wasn't until she saw that the manzi's expression changed color that she realized that she had been reckless, but it was too late, and it was too late to regret it.
Alas, anyway, this time I am going to have a showdown with Yan Kui, and it doesn't matter if I say it early or late.
Mother Wu could only comfort herself like this, but she was still a little unhappy in her heart.
It's all to blame on that damn doorman............
………
Yan Fumenzi didn't know that Wu Ma had hated him, and at this time he was reporting the token to Yan Kui.
"Are you sure it's a sign from the palace?"
Yan Kui rubbed his forehead with a headache, why did a person from the palace suddenly appear in Qingyuan, and he was especially a kiln opener, I don't know what this person is looking for himself?
Is it a blessing or a curse?
Yan Fumenzi saw Yan Kui's painful face, and he was a little afraid in his heart, and he bowed his waist and replied carefully: "Go back to my lord, the small one doesn't know the authenticity of the brand, but I just see that the brand does have the words palace written on it, and the texture is also extraordinary."
The little one thinks that ordinary people don't dare to make a token in the palace privately, let alone come to you with a token, so ........."
Menzi didn't say the words later, but Yan Kui understood what he meant, waved his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Please enter the main hall." ”
Menzi retreated out of the door, Yan Kui also packed up his clothes, and went to the main hall to prepare to greet the visitor, no matter what the other party's purpose was, after all, he was from the palace, Yan Kui ate the Northern Jin Dynasty, and he couldn't neglect the errand.
After a while, Menzi led Wu's mother in, Yan Kui stepped forward to salute, and Wu's mother also returned the salute.
This time, Wu's mother looked for Yan Kui in private, and he had no explicit text, so Yan Kui did not need to pay a big salute, but in fact, under normal circumstances, when the officials below saw people from the palace, they mostly treated each other with Qincha, in addition to pleasing the palace people, but also to show their loyalty to the royal family.
However, Yan Kui has never been very interested in this, just worship the emperor, the rules are like this, and the situation is unforgiving, a palace person who serves people in the palace, there is no holy decree in his body, Yan Kui is not so lowly as to sacrifice his dignity to tie up a palace maid.
So Yan Kui casually made a peaceful gesture to fool the past, and Wu's mother's side didn't bother with this, firstly, she asked for help, and secondly, Wu's mother knew that Yan Kui had just become an official, and she didn't know the rules of these officialdoms, which was understandable.
As for the three, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are not the only ones with hard bones............
…………
Let the maid below serve tea to Wu's mother, Yan Kui quietly looked at the person in front of him who looked mediocre, but his makeup was extraordinarily gaudy, and he was full of a man from the palace who looked like an old bustard in a green building.
Yan Kui's thoughts were surging in his heart, but he smiled and said, "Your surname, where is the envoy in the palace?" ”
Mother Wu didn't touch the tea, and said with a light expression: "Back to Lord Yan, the old slave is exempted from your surname Wu, and you can be a second-class grandmother in Ciyun Palace." ”
Yan Kui nodded with a faint smile, but in his heart he secretly guessed whose palace was Ciyun Palace, he had only been an official for half a year, and his official position was not high, and the ministers in the court and the central government might not be able to remember clearly, where did they know the things in the palace.
Mother Wu saw Yan Kui's external strength and middle strength, and reminded: "Today, the Queen Mother Feng lives in Ciyun Palace. ”
"Oh."
Yan Kui suddenly realized that he didn't know anything else, the current emperor's mother, Empress Dowager Kong, the most noble woman in the Northern Jin Dynasty, Yan Kui had heard of it.
"It turned out that the envoy was serving the queen mother, and the lower officials were disrespectful and disrespectful."
After a few polite greetings, Yan Kui didn't hold it, and asked about the purpose of Wu's mother's trip, although Wu's mother was not very suitable for Yan Kui's straightforward chat style, but she still truthfully talked about Dong Guangming's desire to acquire Chunyuan Building.
After listening to Wu's mother's words, Yan Kui realized that his uncle had quietly provoked such a big fish for himself, and with a wry smile in his heart, Yan Kui also said to Wu's mother.
This matter is a private action of the people below, he is not very clear, disturbing the envoy, it is really a misunderstanding, after a while he will order to go down, stop the acquisition of Chunyuan Building, and guarantee that since he knows that Chunyuan Tower is the place where the envoy is located, then only he will be in the future, and Chunyuan Lou will definitely not be subject to any trouble.
Wu's mother was generally satisfied with Yan Kui's assurance, but this was all expected, nodded, and she talked about the real purpose of the trip.
Her boss wanted to meet with Yan Kui, and they wanted to ask Master Yan for help.
…………
When, when, when......
Hearing this, Yan Kui fell silent, lightly tapped his fingers on the table, and knocked for half a moment before he looked up at Mother Wu.
"The lower official dared to ask, is it a public or private matter for the envoy and another envoy to find the help of the lower official, is it the meaning of the queen mother, or is it you......... Cool? ”
Mother Wu noticed Yan Kui's refusal, and couldn't help frowning, and said with some dissatisfaction: "How is the business?" What about private matters? The Queen Mother's instructions, what is the difference between me and others looking for help from adults? ”
Yan Kui smiled faintly and put away the hand that was lightly buttoned on the table just now: "As a court official, if it is an official matter of the imperial court, the lower official will naturally have the responsibility to help him, but ......... If it's a private matter, it depends on whose order it is.
If it is the queen mother's own order, thanks to the nobles, the officials will eat the king's fortune, and be loyal to the king, so they will naturally go to the sword mountain, go to the sea of fire, and never give up.
However, if the two envoys begged each other in private......... Then don't blame the lower officials for not understanding people's feelings, the affairs of the palace have always involved deep and wide, and the two are the queen mother's people, the position is sensitive, there is no imperial order, Yan is a foreign minister, how dare he participate in it for public and private use. ”
"This ........."
Mother Wu didn't expect Yan Kui to have the courage to reject herself bluntly, and she was a little dazed for a while.
Yan Kui saw Wu's mother's appearance, and a smile appeared on his face: "The lower official understands, the envoy, it is better for you to ask the upper authorities for instructions first, the lower official still has some military affairs to be busy, and it is rude." ”
After that, Yan Kui's apologetic mother Wu arched her hand, and before the other party could react, she flashed directly, and when Wu Ma came back to her senses, she was the only one left in the room.
“……………”
Looking at the wide open door, Mother Wu was a little confused, she couldn't figure it out, obviously she had already reported the name of Ciyun Palace, how could this Yan Kui dare to refuse bluntly, wasn't he afraid that the Queen Mother would be angry?
…………
Of course, Yan Kui was afraid that Empress Dowager Kong would be angry!
But he is even more afraid of getting involved in this kind of murderous and bloodless harem battle.
He is not one of those ordinary petty officials, who has no hope of promotion in his life, and when he sees the nobles in the palace throwing out an olive branch, he knows that it may be poisonous inside, and he has to climb up desperately.
Yan Kui is different, he is very confident in his own strength and the power of the system, and he is confident that even without the "support of nobles", he can break through the world.
What's more, Yan Kui is not stupid, this Wu Ma, as a palace person of Cining Palace, did not wait for the capital, but came to Qingyuan, a small county town, to mysteriously open a kiln, thinking with her toes, the things inside are not simple, she has a good future, and she can't make this trip to troubled waters.
As for bluntly rejecting Wu's mother, Yan Kui also has his own thoughts.
Since Wu Ma and the others had acted mysteriously before, they would definitely not be easily exposed, otherwise they would not have contacted the local government for help before, and they would have been so secretive.
Now, Wu Ma is looking for help from herself, Yan Kui is estimated to have encountered difficulties or other inconvenient reasons, in short, as long as she doesn't say it, the other party will definitely not talk nonsense, and even Yan Kui suspects that Wu Ma and others don't dare to report their affairs to the Queen Mother.
Even if Yan Kui's guesses were all wrong.
"Without the emperor's order, no public weapons are allowed to be used for private purposes" This high-sounding reason is enough to plug the mouth above, if the other party sends himself to run an errand from official channels openly, Yan Kui will do it with his heart.
With a way out, it's great to make a mistake and suffer a loss, but if the bet is right, he can escape the catastrophe.
………
Yan Kui would not have thought that his thoughts were completely guessed by Liu Qiniang, who had listened to Wu's mother and reported it after she went back.
This strong woman who has been in the limelight for half her life, after listening to Wu's mother, saw through Yan Kui's reality at a glance.
"He just gambled that the Queen Mother's affairs would not see the light, and if he did not see the light, he would refuse us with the excuse that there was no order and no public weapons for private use, and no one could find fault with it.
And if this matter sees the light, he will at most be evaluated in the eyes of the Queen Mother, and it is better to be frustrated in his career than to be involved in the secret affairs of the palace.
Moreover, the harem and the court officials have never been able to make friends, and he rejected the queen mother, although he hated the queen mother and the duanwang, but for the entire court officials, his official name is fine.
Even if you can't get a clean reputation, King Jing's side will even envelop this direct minister who has fallen behind the queen, no matter how you look at it, he doesn't suffer, and naturally dares to reject you and me without fear. ”
Mother Wu was still a little angry, but after listening to Liu Qiniang's analysis, she realized that this Qingyuan fierce general, who was known for his bravery, was so cunning in his heart.
"Ma'am......... So how do we do it now? Wu's mother asked.
"Keep asking him for help."
Liu Qiniang smiled at the corner of her eyebrows: "It's really a strong order, I can't do anything about him, but if it's fake, it's naturally much easier to deal with, this Lord Yan is smart and smart, but he underestimated the strength of the Queen Mother."
In the face of absolute strength, any little trick is vulnerable, fight for fame? Looking for a way out? I'll have a showdown with him directly, either to help, or we'll reveal that we're secretly pulling him into the water.
At that time, no matter who takes the things in the end, he will be involved, and he will not be able to get out, if he wants to survive, he can only cooperate with us and successfully complete the errand assigned by the Queen Mother. ”
Mother Wu was taken aback by Liu Qiniang's decisiveness, and said cowardly: "Will this be ............ The Queen Mother ......"
"There's no time, Mama Wu."
Liu Qiniang raised her voice: "If the errand is not done well, you and I will die, two dying people, their lives are almost gone, there is still no need to take care of anything, and trying every means to survive is the most important thing." ”
Mother Wu opened her mouth and nodded mechanically, which was regarded as approving Liu Qiniang's method, so the two of them did not delay, and directly ordered the carriage to be prepared below, and went to Yanfu again.
But they didn't want to, they reacted so quickly, but they were still a step late, half an hour ago, Yan Kui had already left the county seat and went to Chongshan and Fujier County to prepare the new army.
Well, in order to be afraid that Liu Qiniang and the others would not believe it, Yan Fumenzi told them that they could ask the neighbors, and the soldiers and people at the city gate could also testify.
Yan Kui actually ran away......... Ran away.........
Liu Qiniang and Wu Ma glanced at each other, and they both saw the blankness in each other's eyes.
After sobering up for a while, Liu Qiniang and the others asked Yan Mansion Menzi where Yan Kui went, but they were told that Yan Kui's whereabouts were military secrets and should not be revealed............
