Chapter XXVII

The death of a royal agent is nothing more than a trivial matter, however, for those old people who have been in the circle for many years, the shock is still huge. Xia Wuxing, as the emperor's most trusted confidant, once he fell out of favor, he actually fell into such a fate, how could others not be frightened? Only a few of the high-ranking agents knew the emperor's intentions, and the agents were nothing more than loyal dogs belonging to the royal family, and if they lost a loyal word, the emperor would not hesitate to discard them.

Although Xia Wuxian asked the mastermind behind the scenes, the emperor could no longer deal with it with his heart and resolutely. In just one year, the second prince Feng and the fifth prince Feng Wuzhao have embarked on the road of no return one after another, if they are forced, maybe Feng Wuyan will follow in their footsteps, and this kind of consequence is something that the emperor does not want to bear no matter what. It's just that Feng Wuzhao in the northwest is enough to give him a headache, not to mention that he is talented and intelligent, and he is famous in Shilin Feng Wuyan? I hope he can settle down a little bit in Jiangnan, the emperor thought tiredly, don't let me really make up my mind to eradicate the cancer in the court.

Guo Hanjin and Lu Simang's disposition was indeed as expected, because there had been many punishments before, so it was only a dismissal. Xiao Yunchao privately revealed the emperor's meaning to Feng Wuji, and asked Guo Lu and the others to be idle for a while, and after a period of time, they would slowly recover. With the talents and skills of the two of them, coupled with the work of Feng Wuxian and Xiao Yunchao's operation, within two years, the two of them will be able to regain the position of the feudal officials.

Guo Hanjin and Lu Simang sat in the palace of Qinjun Wang, and they felt like they were separated from each other. Although they didn't suffer much in Dali Temple, after all, the disaster of prison sharpened their state of mind, and the two of them were used to being pampered, and they fell to such a point for a while, and the huge gap still almost knocked them down. Fortunately, now that they have been successfully exonerated and have settled on their careers, the boulder in their hearts has finally landed.

"Han Qing, Lunlun, do you two have a mansion in the capital?" Feng Wuxian comforted the two of them with kind words, and then asked with concern.

"Your Highness, I won't tell you that Xiaguan originally had a courtyard on the outskirts of the city, and the real estate in Beijing was ancestral. Now the children of the side family see that the direct family of Xia Guan is in a state of decline, and they want to forcibly occupy it. Cheap is a scholarly family, and has always been bad at reasoning with others, and now he has to live in a rented house. If she hadn't come to visit the prison a few days ago, I'm afraid that the lower officials would still be in the dark. Guo Hanjin remembered the scenery of the past, and then looked at the current dilapidation, almost shed tears, in order not to lose his manners, he had to turn his head.

"There are many people in the world, how many people are there who send charcoal in the snow?" Lu Simang said angrily, as if he had forgotten what he had done in Fujian back then, "Several relatives of Xiaguan were very enthusiastic at the beginning, but now they heard about it, and they hid one by one, fortunately, Humble Jing is a master who can run the family, otherwise they would have been emptied by them with that little family foundation." ”

Feng Wuxian sighed with emotion, no matter what else, Guo Hanjin and Lu Simang really married the wives of two virtuous women, otherwise they would have to be nagged to death next. "Since Lunlun has a place to live, this king will not say anything. Han Qing, don't pay attention to those who don't have the king's law for the time being, there are still a lot of empty houses in the palace, and the emperor and the court officials know that you have a close relationship with the king, so you will temporarily be wronged in the palace for a while. Those people are brave lords, and once you recover, who of them will dare to occupy your ancestral house? ”

Guo Hanjin couldn't help but be overjoyed, if outsiders saw Feng Wuxian treat him so politely, it would undoubtedly be of great benefit to his future recovery and promotion. Lu Simang was stunned for a long time, then looked at his colleagues around him with jealousy, and said sourly: "Lao Guo, you are really lucky, I can't wait for myself to live now." Hehe, let His Highness the Seventh take you in, I'm afraid those bastards in your family will be panicked, right? The latter words are more of a joke.

"you! I didn't even let go of this, and I was used to chill me! Guo Han punched Lu Simang dissatisfiedly, only then did he realize that the two of them were in the palace without a trace, and hurriedly pushed Lu Simang, and returned to the posture of sitting upright. Feng Wuxian saw the appearance of the two of them signing diagonally, and secretly laughed in his heart, the two must have been suffocated in prison for too long, and now that they are in a good mood, it is impossible to think about not losing their manners.

"Okay, this matter is settled, you two may wish to go shopping in Beijing if you have time, after all, you have been an official in Fujian for too long, and there are not many acquaintances in the circle of Beijing officials, and now is the best time to climb the same year. However, just talk about the ups and downs, and don't talk about current events. You are all people who have just been exonerated and need to cherish your reputation, so this is just a bit of friendship. ”

In the past few days, Feng Wuxian discussed with Chen Lingcheng and Shi Jingqi for a long time, and still decided to firmly tie these two people to his side, so he had to give a few more instructions. When it comes to officialdom experience, both of them are old oilers, and Rao was also framed and capsized like this, which shows how deep the mixed waters are now.

"What Your Highness said is very true, and we have written it down." Guo Hanjin and Lu Simang bowed slightly, and replied respectfully.

"Okay, as soon as you come out, you will run to this king, and you are tired when you think about it. Let's go back and settle down first, and the king of tomorrow will set up a banquet in the palace for you to go to bad luck! Feng Wuxian picked up the tea cup beside him and took a sip gently.

Guo Lu and the others knew that this was a send-off, so they hurriedly got up to say goodbye, and walked out of the door of the palace. Thinking of the previous panic and despair, the two of them invariably stretched out their hands, and their faces were full of ambition.

"When will Xiao Fangzi come out?" I've always been accustomed to the feeling of Xiao Fangzi by my side, and once this kid is missing, Feng Wuxian is really not used to it, "He has been locked up for more than 20 days, and it is really unfavorable to drag it out like this." Didn't the father already dispose of Xia Wuxing? ”

Chen Lingcheng's brows were still tightly locked, "After all, this matter still depends on the emperor's mood, Xiao Fangzi is very smart, and he used the emperor's hand to get rid of the Xia Wuxing who interrogated him." It's just that this move will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of others, and if it is self-defeating, this kid will not be able to cry at that time, so let's wait. ”

Feng Wuxian nodded helplessly, and then turned to Shi Jingqi, "Xuchang, has there been any news from the northwest in the capital recently?" "Since reaching an agreement with Wei Wenlong, Feng Wuxian has secretly found some people to plug in various restaurants and restaurants to collect news, and all the things collected are under the control of Shi Jingqi. In Shi Jingqi's words, it is all trivial bits and pieces here, and it is even more difficult to integrate them into usable information.

However, at this time, Shi Jingqi's face was a little confused, "There is really not much news about the northwest, but I have heard a strange rumor. A few days ago, two strangely dressed people were eating in the box of Deyue Tower, and it seemed that they mentioned after drinking that the commander of the Broken Battalion, Zhan Pohan, had been a guard in Ouchi. ”

"What!" Feng Wuxian and Chen Lingcheng exclaimed at the same time, this news was too terrifying. If this is the case with Zhan Pohan being the emperor's person, Feng Wuzhao's so-called seizure of power is a farce from beginning to end. "Is this information reliable?" Feng Wuxian asked in a low voice, "Does anyone else know?" ”

"That young man just listened to it when he was drunk, and he didn't react any other way, and the report was just because there was nothing else important that day, otherwise it would have delayed a valuable piece of news." Shi Jingqi also felt a burst of happiness, whether this news was true or not, it was widely implicated, the queen in the deep palace and Feng Wuzhao in the far northwest, the lives of the two were actually in the hands of one person.

"What does Old Chen think?" Feng Wuxian turned his head uneasily, and there was a deep fear in his heart, if Zhan Pohan was really a pawn laid by his father in advance, then everything would have been decided. No one can bear the consequences of being betrayed by the person they trust the most, and Feng Wuzhao is even more so, he is just a prince who has been spoiled since he was a child, and he is the queen's concubine who is the most promising to win the throne. Despite his preparations for blood, Feng Wuxian shuddered.

"Your Highness, the truth may not be known, so you don't need to worry too much." Chen Lingcheng saw the concerns in the prince's heart, "Now we are taking advantage of the situation to be fully prepared, once this news is confirmed, then the northwest will definitely have a great general again." Due to the previous impeachment, it is impossible for Prince Duan Feng Huanjie to return to the northwest, and the emperor is particularly gracious not to deprive him of the title of prince. As a result, there is only one child of the royal family who is qualified to take over the post of general. The smile on Chen Lingcheng's face grew deeper.

"Old Chen is talking about the king of Anjun?" Feng Wuxian suddenly realized that this cousin had always valued himself, and if he could take charge of the soldiers, he would undoubtedly be the biggest helper. "The emperor is already a little jealous that the power of the concubine is too huge, if it is not necessary, I am afraid that he will not easily let the king of Anjun out of the capital." He is not as optimistic as Chen Lingcheng, and now the forces belonging to Yu Guifei account for at least half of the six departments, and they include the most important officials and households. Once Feng Wufang has another chance to show his skills, I am afraid that there will be more courtiers in the Central African Parliament.

"Except for King Anjun in the royal family, no one can be of such great use, and the emperor may have no choice." Shi Jingqi interjected, his heart was already suddenly enlightened, "Although Zhan Pohan is a general, he has no choice but to come from a humble background, and he is not recognized by the middle and upper echelons of the army, not to mention that this time his position is ambiguous, and the emperor cannot be reused suddenly, the biggest possibility is to transfer him back to the capital." It seems that I want to congratulate His Royal Highness, King Anjun is the only one who can get along with His Royal Highness among so many princes, and it is also a great fate. ”

Feng Wuxian sighed softly, Brother Wufang, it seems that your intention to be a wall-to-wall watch is about to fail. What's the fun of the battle for succession without your involvement?
