Chao Nei North Street, Prince Xuan's Mansion, Back Garden, Furong Pavilion.

Among the four large military aircraft, Wen Xiang was the last to arrive.

Served by the servants of the Xuan Palace, Wen Xiang first changed into civilian clothes in the side hall, and after entering the Furong Pavilion, he saw a round table in the pavilion, five sofa chairs, and a variety of fruits and drinks on the table.

Wen Xiang took a seat and said apologetically: "I'm late!" ”

"Where!" Cao Yuying took out her pocket watch and glanced at it, "It's not even two quarters of the hour—about half an hour, Bo Gong is the most punctual." ”

"I was thinking that Prince Xuan's Mansion has a lot of fine wine," Xu Gengshen said with a smile, "Come here earlier, not only can you drink more, but you can also drink a little more freely - the prince is not here yet." ”

Laughing with each other, a cool night breeze blew, the four of them felt refreshed, looking at the lotus leaves on the lake, the dark fragrance floating at the end of the nose, Wen Xiang couldn't help sighing: "The red incense world is cool!" It's really a good place! ”

"It's just that the flowering period is coming to an end," Guo Songtao muttered, "the lotus leaves are still in the field, and the incense is about to be sold, and it is not as scorching as the last time." ”

Last time-

It was Emperor Daxing who was diagnosed with smallpox, and his relatives and dignitaries entered the palace to "knock on joy", and after leaving the palace, they gathered here.

At that time, Emperor Daxing still had hope of recovery; At that time, the king of alcohol was still shouting that he would prepare the candidate for the heir emperor in advance.

Now, the Emperor Daxing has "Daxing", and the temple and the temple have been decided, but they have not yet been officially announced.

Now, who belongs to the heir emperor has actually also been decided, and it has not yet been officially announced.

Also, at the time of the last gathering here, the high-spirited King of the Alcohol County had now been dismissed from the absence of the Imperial Minister and the Minister of the Guard, and the master of this place had already broken their faces with each other.

Is...... What time is it?

Thinking of this, the four big military planes couldn't help but fall silent.

"The prince is here!"

It was Xu Gengshen who spoke, and his seat was facing the entrance of the garden.

A palace lamp came out of nowhere.

The four big military planes put down their wine glasses and stood up.

The lantern was near, and it was clear that a maid carrying a lantern, followed by Prince Xuan, and then two guards.

Guan Zhuofan has changed into civilian clothes, his left arm is still hanging, and he is holding an object in his right hand, which seems to be a fan.

Guan Zhuofan walked into the pavilion, and after sitting down, the maids and guards all retreated.

The maid left the pavilion, but the two guards did not stay away, maintaining a distance where they could not hear the people in the pavilion clearly, but they could also see the movements of the people in the pavilion.

"There's no way," Guan Zhuofan smiled slightly wryly, "After today's incident came out, the Guards Regiment made a new rule, saying that as long as I am outdoors, I can't leave the sight of the guards." ”

Wen Xiang and Cao Yuying both remembered what Tulin said, "If Prince Xuan enters the house, there must be a Xuan army guarding the door; If Prince Xuan is outside the house, he must be out of the sight of Xuan Jun. ”

"Today's events," Wen Xiang said, "must not be repeated!" No matter how cautious the Guards are, it cannot be overstated. ”

"Well, that's it...... It's like sticking a plaster! ”

Guan Zhuofan sighed and shook his head helplessly: "Forget it, don't talk about this." ”

After a pause, "By the way, you can drink the wine by yourself, and don't worry about me - I have injuries on my body, and the doctor won't let me drink." ”

At this time, the four big military planes saw clearly that the object in Prince Xuan's hand was not a fan, but a white fold.

However, it is clearly not a twist.

What is it?

"Let me tell you something," the white fold in Guan Zhuofan's hand shook slightly, "Now that the Guards Regiment has entered the city, the camp in Sanlitun will be vacant, my name is Wu Jianying of the Fengtai Battalion, and I will divide a regiment and transfer it to Sanlitun, so that it will be more balanced at both ends of the east and west." ”

The movements of Wu Jianying's unit in the Fengtai battalion are the focus of attention of the government and the opposition, and the four big military planes are no exception.

The garrison of the Guards Regiment Sanlitun, "vacant", is not a problem in itself, it does not have to be filled; However, "balance between the east and the west" is a very important consideration. Fengtai is in the southwest of Beijing, and Sanlitun is just east of Beijing.

In addition, Fengtai Daying is far away from the city of Beijing, and Sanlitun is only three miles away from the inner city -- otherwise, how can it be called "Sanlitun"? If "there is something", the rapid march will take less than a quarter of an hour to reach Chaoyangmen, and "the urgency can be assured".

However, fortunately, Wu Jianying's department finally did not enter the city.

The Guards Regiment and Wu Jianying's Division, after all, were both field troops, but the Guards Regiment still hung up a "Guard" pretense, and Wu Jianying's Division, but they didn't even have this disguise.

The mobilization and deployment of the Xuan army were neat, strict, and cautious, and the four big military planes were only bowed one after another, and they could not say a word.

Some people secretly prayed: God bless, I hope that this is the end, and there will be no new transfers and deployments!

While his thoughts were wandering, Prince Xuan spoke again.

"There's one thing," Guan Zhuofan said, "I don't know if you still remember?" ”

After a pause, "Well, in the year of Xinyou, the first edict after the curtain of the two palaces?" ”

The first edict after the curtain of the two palaces?

The four military planes all tried to remember.

At that time, Guo Songtao was not in the center, so he couldn't help but be at a loss, but Wen, Cao, and Xu quickly thought about it, looked at each other, and nodded to each other.

"Remember," Wen Xiang said, "Actually, I am still the initiator of this matter!" ”

"Oh? Please be specific! ”

Wen Xiang didn't know why Prince Xuan would bring up the old matter again, but he still said calmly:

"When Su Shun was in power, whether it was official affairs or personal friendship, there were naturally many correspondence with the imperial court and local officials. Among them, some people are cautious about the division, but there are also people who see that Su Shun is hot, and in order to seek luck, they can't help but cling to it. There are also people, although they have no intention of clinging to Su Shun in their hearts, but since Yi is in power, in order to do things smoothly, they can't help but be obsessed with it and be beautiful. ”

After a slight pause, "When I copied Su Shun's house, I found a large safe in Yinei, and it took a lot of effort, and finally, I found a foreign craftsman to come over and open it." At first glance, it was not gold and silver jewelry, but ledgers and letters. The ledger does not speak of him, but is only a record of bribes, gifts, and favors, and letters—these letters are those letters that are beautiful and obedient. ”

The four listeners were all extremely attentive.

"I didn't know the severity at the time," Wen Xiang said, "Seeing that Su Shun cherished and carefully hid the letter in the safe, I couldn't help but be curious, and opened a few letters to see—oh, by the way, I led the team to copy Su Shun's home." ”

After a pause, he smiled slightly bitterly, "I don't know if I don't see it, I'm scared when I see it!" ”

After another pause, "Why not the word 'beauty'?" Many of these words, although vague, but if you look closely, you can wear a hat of 'rebellion'! In short, it is not what the ministers should say and endure! ”

"Among them, Chen Zihe is even more so!"

Chen Zihe, whose name is Fuen, Zihe is his character, and he is still the secretary of the Ministry when Su Shun was in power.

At this time, Cao Yuying interjected, "The Ministry of Officials is the head of the six departments, and the rules have always been that the officials must be from Hanlin, and Chen Zihe is not from Hanlin, but he has become the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, which is completely dependent on the power of Su Shun's reinforcements, so it is especially energetic to cling to Su Shun." ”

"Zhuo Ru is right," Wen Xiang nodded, "Among Su Shun's henchmen, he made suggestions and pushed Du Jiyuan; Contact and run, relying on Chen Zihe - as a result, contact came, ran around, and gave birth to strange thoughts! ”

Du Jiyuan is Du Han, and Jiyuan is his number.

"To put it more clearly," Wen Xiang's voice was dry, "Chen Zihe's words to Su Shun, although vague, are actually 'persuasion'!" ”

Cao Yuying and Xu Gengshen knew the ins and outs of this matter, but when they heard the word "persuasion," they couldn't help but feel a slight shock in their hearts, let alone Guo Songtao -- it was the first time he had heard someone talk about this matter in detail.

Guan Zhuofan's face was as calm as water.

"At that time, I was very distressed," Wen Xiang said, "if these letters were made public, I don't know how much trouble they would cause?" Chen Zihe doesn't need to say it, he must not be able to keep the leader, and other people, who are guilty, deposed, and punished, I don't know how many! ”

After a pause, "Killing Zaiyuan, Duanhua, and Sushun is already a shock to the government and the opposition - enough!" If there is another big case, the people are panicked, and the inside and outside are uneasy, how can the monarchs and ministers work together to rule the world? ”

Speaking of this, he sighed, "Besides, although Chen Zihe clings to Su Shun and has vain thoughts, he is also a first-class talent in the end!" If the imperial court is lenient and Ihata is reformed, he may no longer be able to contribute to the country - it is a pity! ”

Wen Xiang's "pity" has two meanings: one is to say that it is a pity to kill Chen Fuen, and the other is to say that Chen Fuen's later ending is "a pity".

After the coup d'état in Xinyou, Chen Fuen went to Ili, Xinjiang, he was brave after the shame, and worked hard, before and after the two Ili generals, all asked for merit, the first time, the imperial court did not allow, the second time, the Ili general Mingxu, said that Chen Fuen raised salaries, raised troops and spared no effort, and begged for release, this time, the imperial court finally approved, at the same time, ordered Chen Fuen to stay in Yili, to assist in handling military pay matters.

Chen Fuen was greatly excited, and was about to show his strength, but unexpectedly, the chaos swarmed, Yili fell, Mingxu died in battle, and Chen Fuen died together.

Guan Zhuofan nodded and said, "I understand, therefore, Bochuan, you will play, please burn this batch of letters without opening them?" ”

This is the first "edict" after the curtain of the two palaces, and it does play an obvious role in calming people's hearts and uniting dissidents.

"It's Prince Gong who plays," Wen Xiang said, "I'm just suggesting it to Prince Gong." ”

"It's the same," Guan Zhuofan said, "Bochuan, this move has the style of an ancient minister!" ”

After a pause, "You guys are wondering, why did I take out something from a few years ago?" ”

Yes, we're all a little weird.

Guan Zhuofan put the white fold in his hand on the edge of the round table and patted it gently, "This is because my current problem is similar to the problem of Bochuan back then." ”
