Without a Trace Volume 5 Party Struggle Chapter 25 Deliberation
、、、、、、、
The news of Tai Thong's death threw another boulder in the already unquiet court, and the emperor was certainly furious, and even many courtiers were talking about it. At such a juncture, although it is a serious illness, it is really strange to think about it, and it is not easy to get seriously ill.
Needless to say, everyone's spearhead was suddenly pointed at Xiao Yunchao, and this respected uncle of the country was angry and simply complained about his illness and recuperated in the mansion, which made the officials who were attached to him feel worried.
The most anxious thing is that Feng Wuxian has no trace, for the situation in Sichuan, he often gets secret reports from Mianying, so he got the news in advance, but he never expected his father's actions to be so fast, and he actually lifted the lid before him, and he was passive and abnormal for a while. Uncle Xiao Yunchao is not a material for doing things, and he knows this, but he disregards the general illness and allows others to get a loophole, I am afraid that the mother concubine is already angry in Lingbo Palace at this time.
The provincial officials who had listened to the instructions of the officials to go to Beijing to report on their work suddenly lost their direction, and the current situation was there, and the emperor's energy had long been attracted by Sichuan, a large tax-paying province, where could he find time to meet them? As a result, almost all of these feudal officials with official titles above the second rank can only worship the disciples everywhere. They all know that the imperial court party fights together, and the officials in various places almost have to be replaced, if the door is strong, it is fine, if the background is not hard, then it is a matter of nine times out of ten to send a bitter shortage.
As soon as he heard about the matter of Chaoshang, Guo Hanjin's originally soothing heart immediately lifted. He is a person who was frightened in the northwest, and this time the wind without a trace gave him so much hope, and he even had a package ticket. If something goes wrong, it's not an ordinary loss. Therefore, he has been in the palace of the wind without a trace for the past few days, just trying to figure out every move in the future.
Concubine Yu sent someone to urge her three times in a row, but Xiao Yunchao excused herself with illness. This kind of obvious lie made the Xiao family of the sixth palace of Quan Se completely unable to sit still, and scolded his brother in the Lingbo Palace behind his back. Helplessly, the concubine could not interfere in the government affairs. She couldn't leave the palace at this juncture, so she had to send someone to deliver a letter to her son. Although Feng Wu regretted entering the palace every day to ask for peace, he had never been involved in court politics, and he was really useless, and Xiao was also annoyed when he came and went, and deeply regretted that he was spoiled back then. Now I have to pin my hope on the body of Feng Wuxi.
Sure enough, the wind came quickly, and the messenger went out for just over an hour, and the king of Qinjun hurriedly entered the palace to say goodbye. It was noon, although it was past the middle of summer, but the capital was still very hot, although the wind came out without a trace, but a county king's formal dress was not slight, and the official sedan chair was stuffy, when he stepped into the Lingbo Palace. The back of the official uniform was already soaked.
After the ceremony, the Xiao family sent away a group of eunuchs and palace maids who were waiting, leaving only Rouping by his side.
immediately made his son take off a thick official uniform. It's no wonder he doesn't have to be so angry. Feng Wuxian just smiled and said: "Mother, although the sons and daughters are close relatives with you, after all, there is a difference between the upper and lower, and the etiquette cannot be abolished." It's very much now. Erchen also had to be extra careful, otherwise it would be boring if people grabbed this handle. ”
When it came to business, Xiao's face became gloomy. "Without a trace, you still know the opportunity, and your uncle is too ignorant of the seriousness of his actions! The emperor is now looking at the face of the palace and adding guilt, if it is someone else, it will not be on the spot? Tai Yi died together, he was the most suspicious, he didn't apologize for his crimes, but he was sick at home, do you think he was confused? Hmph, for no reason, let the relatives hurt, the enemy is fast, he is really generous! Xiao Shi burst out of her stomach, and her words were extremely thin, if it weren't for her self-respecting identity, I am afraid she would have to scold.
"The mother concubine is angry, and the uncle should be angry, and if someone persuades him, he will change his mind." Although he didn't quite believe it, Feng Wuxian reluctantly said with relief, and immediately listened to his father's heart. Who would have thought that Xiao was upset by this, in the past, even if the emperor had any major military affairs, he often drove the Lingbo Palace, but this time he didn't come for several days. Seeing the rumors among the harem concubines, how could they not make the Xiao family, who has always been very gracious, anxious?
Even if Feng Wuxian had already decided that his father and emperor had taken an official from the He Xiao family to deter hundreds of officials, at this moment, he was a little confused. The power of the Xiao family can spread all over the government and the opposition, relying on his mother's exquisite skills and thousands of styles, Xiao Yunchao is just forced to be pushed into place, and the influence is far less than that of the Xiao family. If the mother fell out of favor overnight, it was almost impossible to imagine the bleak consequences of the wind without a trace.
After thinking about it again and again, and then supplemented by the analysis of several people in the house, Feng Wuxian could only tell his judgment, even if he was not sure, he had to stabilize his mother, after all, he was just starting out, and both manpower and territory were extremely limited. "Mother, my father will never blame the Xiao family for dying together, but my uncle's recent actions are really disappointing, if I can't cheer him up in time, I'm afraid it will be fake."
Feng Wuxian leaned closer, and whispered to his mother, "Father's original intention should be to rectify the corruption that is becoming more and more fierce among court officials, and by the way, warn He Xiao and the two parties not to ignore the authority of the emperor." But now that the situation has changed abruptly, my father is already in a difficult position to ride a tiger, and if he can't recover it in time, I'm afraid he will take advantage of other people's hearts. ”
Xiao Shi heard his son's voice, and his already unsightly face became even more solemn, Tai Yitong's death plan was not done by her brother, she was very sure of this. With Xiao Yunchao's personality, he wants to record more skin and frying bones, but as for extinguishing his mouth, he will never do it, after all, Tai Yitong is only a peripheral official, and he doesn't know much about the inside story, so he can't afford to lose the emperor's favor for the sake of a mere political envoy. can do this kind of seamless work, and it is logical to plant blame, only the three princes are speechless.
Even if we spread things out now, it won't do us any good. The calm Xiao family naturally won't do that kind of stupid thing, "It's all your uncle's secret situation that will only make trouble, as long as it is not taken advantage of by others." However, if you come and don't be rude, you should also teach that pretentious guy a lesson at the right time, lest he think that my Xiao clan will only swallow his anger! Xiao's eyes shot a little cold light, obviously really angry, "The He family wants to sit back and enjoy it, but the palace just won't let them get their wish, without a trace, you want to find a way to let Sun Yong also suffer a little disaster, be careful not to kill people." It's naturally easy to ask for a dead man, but it's the real turmoil to make something happen under the emperor's nose. This palace wants to see how their He family should deal with it! The horizontal and vertical are already messed up, and it's okay to add another fire! ”
Feng Wuxian felt a chill in his heart, and hurriedly agreed, and his mother's ruthless performance at this time suddenly reminded him of what happened back then. Thinking that those concubines who are against her must be prepared to live a miserable life in the harem, and the Degui Concubine Lan is afraid that she will suffer. Since everything was clearly discussed, Feng Wuxian didn't want to stay in Lingbo Palace for a long time, so he resigned after a few more small talks.
"Rouping, was this palace really too much back then?" Seeing that his son had left, Xiao suddenly asked the henchman and maid who stood beside him. "If this palace has been cultivating without a trace since childhood, maybe I don't have to worry so much about it today."
Rouping didn't know how to answer, so she had to reply curtly, "His Royal Highness the Seventh is also the flesh and blood of the mother, and now you love him the same and love him, there is no difference." She knew that she was powerless to say this, but how could a person like her talk nonsense about the affairs of the heavenly family, so she had to perfunctory it.
"Really? If this palace holds him in the palm of his hand, I am afraid that now he is a pity who does not know the overall situation. Xiao Shi coldly threw out a sentence, "Traceless can have today all by virtue of the breath in his heart, this palace can see that kind of ambition and expectation from between his eyebrows, it is impossible for a person like him to be surrounded by family affection." She continued as if talking to herself, "Now that the emperor trusts him, he may be entrusted with the position of auxiliary minister in the future, so he will never be able to leave the Xiao family, which is the reason why he really respects the mother of the palace." ”
Feng Wuxian naturally didn't know that his mother had seen through his thoughts, and he was hurrying to Xiao Mansion at this time. Although I was blocked from seeing him several times, I couldn't care about it anymore today. He let the Immortal open the way, and he followed straight inside. Those little servants were in the way of the identity of the prince of Feng Wuji, and they all knew that he was Xiao Yunchao's nephew, so they had no choice but to let him go after only a little blocking, not to mention that the big ice cube was in front of the vanguard. In less than a cup of tea, Feng Wuxian stood in front of his uncle with a pale face.
Although he was annoyed by his nephew's reckless behavior, Xiao Yunchao still had to settle down and listen to Feng Wuxian finish speaking. In the past few days, he has been hiding in the room alone, except for the little guy who delivered the meal, no one has been seen, and even several staff members in the house have all eaten the closed door, which is quite iron-hearted. However, only Xiao Yunchao himself knew how frightened he was, but he was just afraid that others would mess up his mind. Speaking of which, he hadn't been alone like this for a long time.
However, after listening to Feng Wuxian relay his sister's words, Xiao Yunchao woke up like a dream, his power and position were all earned by his sister in the palace, and once there was anything wrong with the ripples, he would really be finished. He didn't care about his petty temperament, he nodded again and again like a chicken pecking rice, and he almost didn't urge the wind to hurry up.
After dealing with Xiao Yunchao's uncle for so long, Feng Wuxian has already figured out his temperament, and knows that sometimes he doesn't need to pay attention to his strange temper, and it is better to explain it directly. The person who wanted to come to the mother's dispatch didn't dare to offend this uncle, so he had to go back in a huff, he just didn't want to make such a big fuss before. Now that everything has been agreed, the Sichuan side should be notified as soon as possible, and manpower must be arranged. Only by doing it without a trace as the previous wind without words can it be possible to successfully stir up another storm. Lingyun Zhiwei Traceless Chapter 5 Party Struggle Chapter 25 Planning
