Thirty-one, the age of the dragon snake (5)

Wang Qingqi held a scroll of paintings into the Hongde Palace, the Hongde Hall now no one continues to class, the emperor does not come, in addition to the errands of the various departments, the masters are at home to concentrate on the study of moral articles, in addition, the Tongzhi Dynasty's book revision canon began to be compiled after the victory in the Beihai Campaign, this is the reason why both civil and military aspects have to be grasped, so the Hongde Hall is sparsely populated, it is extremely deserted, Wang Qingqi traveled all the way, except for a few eunuchs who sprinkled and swept, did not see any other people, he put the painting scroll on the shelf, was about to pick up a box, But he suddenly stopped moving, slowly straightened up, turned his head, and saw a figure shining into the gate of Hongde Hall in the sunlight.

The figure had the light on his back, and he couldn't see who it was for a while, but Wang Qingqi obviously knew, and arched his hand slightly, his body was tense and straight, "Father-in-law." ”

The person who came walked in slowly, and chuckled, "Lord Wang doesn't have to be polite, you don't have to be polite, the old slave just passed by here, just come in and take a look, I didn't expect Lord Wang to be here." ”

"Father-in-law De is the busiest time now, he has to take care of the Xuanli Office and take care of the emperor's decoction, how can he still have the heart to wander around?" Wang Qingqi turned around and sat down behind a large table of pear blossom wood, "If you have nothing to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Palace, if you have any instructions, please say it directly!" ”

"The emperor is not in good health, I don't know what Lord Wang has to say?" De Ling remained silent, put his hands in his sleeves, and looked sickly, "I want to ask this." ”

"Although the emperor's body is not good now, I think it will get better in the future," Wang Qingqi said indifferently, "Although he is not talented, he can accompany the king, and he naturally does his best not dare to make mistakes. Be sure to do your best in eating and living, so that no one will be careless and confused, and the emperor's dragon body will be delayed. ”

"It's natural, and no one doesn't respect their master," Deling said. "It's just that Lord Wang, who is your master?"

"Of course it's the emperor." Wang Qingqi took a sip of tea, "Father-in-law De asked knowingly." ”

"I'm afraid it's not like," De Ling slowly walked a few steps and flipped through the books on the shelf, "How did I hear that Lord Wang is loyal to someone else?" ”

"Duke De laughed, the whole world is not the king's land, the shore of the land is not the king's courtier, I am Chinese. If I don't respect the Son of Heaven and be loyal to the emperor, do I have to defect to Western countries? ”

De Ling raised his face outside, "Bring it up." ”

The two powerful eunuchs dragged a bloodstained scholar into the side hall, and threw the man to the ground with a pop, and the man struggled to raise his head, with a painful expression on his face, and stared at De Ling fiercely. Then he looked at Wang Qingqi who was sitting upright.

Wang Qingqi didn't move at all, and glanced at the man on the ground. "This person is Han Rubing, the student leader of the Jingshi University Hall, a pillar of the country, a famous man in foreign affairs, and the Duke of De tortured him like this without going through the three law divisions, and the outside world will be rumored in the future. Even if the Xuanli Office and Gonggong De have the favor of the Queen Mother, I am afraid that they will not be able to eat and walk around. ”

"Don't burn fake incense in front of the real Buddha," Deling clapped his hands and asked the two eunuchs to retreat, just standing alone in the side hall. "To Lord Wang, I don't need to hide it, I just reveal it to you, Han Rubing, I'm afraid it's not just the students of the University Hall, it's more," De Ling looked at Han Rubing on the ground, "The people of the White Lotus Sect, right?" ”

Han Rubing jumped up, his hands into tiger claws and slashed at De Ling's throat, De Ling took a step back, his right leg suddenly lifted, and kicked Han Rubing's ribs, bang, Han Rubing fell to the ground, a trace of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he was speechless.

"The White Lotus Sect has been returned to the imperial court, even if someone is from the White Lotus Sect, as long as they are serious people, no one must be careful, but they have not been filed with the Academy of Sciences, I think that Gonggong De is the person who knows the rules the most, this is nothing more than a trivial matter, what's the matter, just make Han Rubing like this?"

"It doesn't matter what his identity is," De Ling flicked his big red sleeve leisurely, "It's just him," De Ling looked at Han Rubing, Han Rubing couldn't help but shudder, "If you are dedicated to learning, seeking fame, and appeasing the White Lotus Sect for the first term of office, this seat will naturally not tolerate him, but he is calling for wind and rain in the hall of Beijing Normal University, wanting to be a figure of the Donglin Party that overturns the world, and connecting classmates, wanting to change the direction of the government with the power of everyone, so naturally it is not possible, thinking that he is a figure in the White Lotus Sect, this seat can't help but be a little suspicious, What kind of mind does this White Lotus Sect have? ”

Wang Qingqi was silent, "If it's someone else, I naturally don't care, just kill it, I heard that this person and Lord Wang are old acquaintances, Lord Wang is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, this bit of affection and decency, presumably Lord Wang still has it, so I will explain it to Lord Wang." De Ling continued, "I just don't know if Lord Wang takes into account the friendship of his fellow disciples and opens up the net?" ”

Wang Qingqi sighed and shook his head at Han Rubing, "Your family just doesn't obey the sect master's order, you must do something else, this sect has surrendered to the imperial court, even if there is a potential reserve, it is only for self-preservation, not other dissenting intentions, Mei Tong'er, you are wrong!" ”

Han Rubing was a little ashamed, but then said stubbornly, "Zhutong, although I fell into the hands of this eunuch, it is by no means the defeat of this sect, and the path I stick to is definitely not the wrong way!" My behavior in the University Hall has nothing to do with you, Eunuch De," Han Rubing knelt on the ground and shouted at De Ling, "This matter is done by me alone, it has nothing to do with this sect, and it has nothing to do with Wang Qingqi, how to deal with you!" ”

"It's not up to you to decide whether it matters or not," De Ling said to Han Rubing, "I said that I brought you here today to send you to Lord Wang, and it is Lord Wang who can decide your life and death, Lord Wang, you can speak." ”

"You are not allowed to appear in Jingshi again, Mei Tong," Wang Qingqi stood up, "If you return to Jingshi, I will definitely execute you by canon!" Wang Qingqi said to De Ling, "Father-in-law De, I don't know how to deal with it like this?" ”

"Listen to Lord Wang, then send Beijing out, Xiucai rebelled, and if he doesn't succeed in ten years, he must not be able to become a climate." De Ling clapped his hands, the eunuchs came in and dragged Han Rubing out, Han Rubing looked at Wang Qingqi with shame and shame, and then was dragged out, De Ling turned his face, "Bamboo boy, Ming people don't say dark words, what is your mind to send you to the palace?" Do you want to deal with Bai Yanhu like you, silently, take the head of the person? (To be continued.) )
