Minister Yan Kang has been a little restless these days, the emperor has been stationed in His Majesty for nine days, but he has not mentioned the matter of Huang Pu's referendum against the enemy, nor has he attacked the "framer" Lu Dapeng, as if he has forgotten the whole thing completely, which is not like the emperor's usual style of acting. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Yan Kang called his son Yan Pengshi.

Yan Pengshi came back with the emperor in the Su Guard, and when he left home, he was full of confidence and felt that he would definitely become the new general of the navy, but he turned out to be just an ordinary general, which made him both disappointed and ashamed.

Seeing his son's listless appearance, Yan Kang sank his face and shouted, "There are no dead people at home, what kind of face do you put on?" ”

Yan Pengshi smiled bitterly: "Father, how can I laugh? The emperor appointed three people as generals of the navy at the gate of the East China Sea country, and I didn't even have the qualifications to be a candidate, this is not ...... Isn't this a public slap in the face on my face? ”

"That's the emperor, you have to bear it with a smile when you hit you in the face."

Yan Pengshi smiled even more embarrassedly, "Isn't it okay for me to laugh?" Anyway, I am not the only one who was slapped in the face, Huang Pu voted for the enemy, and the emperor's face ......"

"Shut up." Yan Kang said angrily, walked to the door and looked, although he was at home, he didn't dare to be careless, "I shouldn't have agreed to this matter in the first place, I would have gotten rid of Huang Pugong earlier, but there would be less trouble." ”

"Don't teach the emperor a lesson...... Yan Pengshi suppressed his anger and said in a softened tone: "Someone has to make the emperor understand that the generals he chooses are unreliable." And where the trouble comes from? Everything was planned, and the emperor couldn't see the flaws. Lu Dapeng won't regret it, right? ”

"He didn't dare." Yan Kang was very sure of his countrymen, thought for a while, and said, "You go to Zhang Shilang of the military department to find out, it's not good for me to see him again now." ”

"What's the tone?" Although Yan Pengshi was lost, he didn't feel that it would be dangerous.

"Have a casual chat with him, memorize what he said, and come back and tell me." Yan Kang looked at his handsome son, and shook his head secretly in his heart, his son is smart enough, but he has been in the East China Sea for too long, and he has long been accustomed to being self-respecting.

"Okay." Yan Pengshi reluctantly agreed, and he had his own plans in his heart.

As soon as the emperor arrived, Zhang Qing, the squire of the military department, became one of the accompanying officials, like other officials, lived near the temporary palace, and went with the rumors, Yan Kang was not easy to visit openly, but Yan Pengshi, who was the general of the guard, could enter and exit freely without paying attention.

The military department has been busy recently, but Yan Pengshi still met Zhang Qing smoothly.

The Yan and Zhang families are considered world friends, and the relationship is extraordinary, Zhang Qing took Yan Pengshi to his residence, ordered someone to serve tea in the living room, and said with a smile: "It's been really busy recently, and the nephew has been back for a few days, and we haven't had a chance to meet." ”

"yes." Yan Pengshi was casually perfunctory, and as soon as the servant withdrew, he put down the teacup, frowned and asked, "Master Zhang, don't blame me for being straightforward, when the emperor chose the generals of the navy, why didn't the military department recommend me?" The emperor disagrees, at least it makes my face passable. ”

Zhang Qing smiled: "It turns out that the nephew is annoyed by this matter. You have to be considerate, the military department also has difficulties, knowing that His Majesty is angry, how can he go to brush the tiger's beard? What's more, if the nephew is recommended and not selected, it will be even more embarrassing. The nephew is a talent, and he will be of great use in the future, so why rush for a while? ”

The squire of the military department is not a petty official, Yan Pengshi didn't dare to behave too much, and nodded reluctantly, "Lord Zhang is right, I am ...... Alas, I can't swallow this breath. By the way, Lord Zhang, what does Your Majesty think? There won't be any surprises, right? ”

"No, it won't." Zhang Qing shook his head with a smile, "Your Majesty obviously wants to issue an edict on the last day of your majesty's residence, and not give the following a chance to argue, which is good and saves a lot of trouble." Don't worry, go back and tell your father, everything is under control, once Captain Lu confesses, everything will be fine, and the military department will handle the rest. ”

Yan Pengshi arched his hand, "Then thank you, the Yan family will not forget the kindness of adults." ”

Zhang Qing personally sent Yan Pengshi to the door of the room, watched the back of his nephew go away, the smile on his face slowly disappeared, and muttered: "The emperor can't swallow the breath he gave...... The Yan family is killing themselves. ”

Zhang Qingyuan was not so calm, the emperor did not move for a long time, he was also very flustered, after seeing Yan Pengshi, he sent someone to ask Nan Zhijin of the Imperial Historical Observatory, claiming that there was a small problem with a document and needed to be checked.

Nan Zhijin came quickly, Zhang Qing stared at him and didn't say a word for a long time.

"My lord is looking for me?" Nan Zhijin spoke first.

There were no outsiders in the room, Zhang Qing frowned slightly, "I can still see Brother Nan free, I'm really ...... Both relieved and confused. ”

Nan Zhijin smiled, "It's enough to be gratified, why bother?" ”

Zhang Qing shook his head, "It's not over yet, I have to wonder, something happened recently that made me very uneasy." ”

"What?"

"It's also unexpected, Jin Chunzhong, who is next to His Majesty, suddenly went to Huxian County for some reason a few days ago and inquired about the situation in the city."

"Jin Xuanyi is one of His Majesty's most trusted minions, and it is his duty to search for information, according to the information I have received, he may be looking for the family of Yang Feng, who served Yang Feng in the former middle school, and His Majesty is very concerned about this eunuch."

"In this way, it's not a big deal, but a hero in Lake County, alas, is actually a fool, he will be wrong, thinking that he has been noticed, and he actually took the initiative to buy Jin Chunzhong."

Nan Zhijin asked: "A heroic man in Huxian County, if he is afraid, he is afraid, what does it have to do with the military department and the imperial court?" ”

"This person has a lot of friends with officials in the DPRK and China, and he loves to brag, so I am afraid that he will talk nonsense, Jin Chunzhong will take it seriously, and if he says it to His Majesty, His Majesty will also take it seriously, then it will be troublesome."

Nan Zhijin also frowned, "Has Jin Chunzhong been bought?" ”

Zhang Qing nodded, "At first, he was unwilling, but later he didn't pass the beauty pass, accepted 100,000 taels of silver, and took away a concubine." Jin Chunzhong is the son of Guiyi Hou, of course he likes these. ”

"Your Excellency has seen Jin Chunzhong?" Nan Zhijin asked flatly.

"We met yesterday."

"What do you think of him?"

"It's okay, Xungui's son, relying on my sister is a noble concubine who is not registered, a little proud, I have seen a lot of this kind of person, and he is still very easy to deal with, but he has a little big appetite and makes a lot of requests." Zhang Qing felt that there was no problem, the more Jin Chunzhong wanted, the more relieved he was.

Nan Zhijin also nodded, "Then there's nothing to worry about, just wait patiently." ”

"The Yan family is a little uncalm." Zhang Qingdao.

"What did they hear?"

"No, Your Majesty has not moved for a long time, they are worried about long nights and dreams." Zhang Qing stared at Nan Zhijin again, "To be honest, even I am a little worried, Lord Nan is well-informed, what does Your Majesty think?" ”

"Instead of guessing what Your Majesty thinks, it is better to figure out Your Majesty's personality, Your Majesty is suspicious by nature, and he is so happy that when he is not very sure, he is easily unwilling to move, he is not moving at this time, he is gathering the local army."

Zhang Qing said in surprise: "Your Majesty is afraid that someone will rebel?" This one...... Impossible. ”

"Your Majesty is rejuvenated in the army, I believe in the soldiers more than I believe in the court, since Your Majesty came to the East China Sea, most of what you have done is related to military affairs, it is nothing more than to have a solid heart, we all think that there will be no more rebellion, Your Majesty may not think so."

Zhang Qing let out a long breath and felt that Nan Zhijin was reasonable, "If that's the case, then I'll rest assured." ”

Nan Zhijin bowed his hand and said goodbye, "Even if you say goodbye again, Lord Zhang don't look for me again, in case it attracts suspicion, which is not a good thing for you." ”

After his mood relaxed, Zhang Qing's attitude eased a lot, and he got up and said: "Brother Nan, don't blame, tomorrow is the last day of His Majesty's residence in His Majesty, there should be results, and I won't trouble Brother Nan again." ”

Nan Zhijin said goodbye and persuaded Zhang Qing, but he began to feel uneasy in his heart, this uneasiness had already arisen, and now it is getting stronger and stronger, especially the matter of Jin Chunzhong, which made him see a great threat.

After many years of being a scholar, Nan Zhijin has heard of some illegal behaviors in various ministries and departments, but he never asked, thinking that this is an inherent part of the rules of the imperial court, but he knows that the emperor, especially the current emperor, will never approve of this part of the rules.

He also knew that Jin Chunzhong was not like a person who would be bought.

He didn't go back to his residence, and went straight to ask to see Qu Zixi, the right patrol.

Qu Zixi was processing the official documents, and asked without raising his head: "Something?" ”

Nan Zhijin waited for a while and said, "It's okay." ”

Qu Zixi raised his head.

One is a young and rising senior member of the DPRK and China, and the other is a small official who is dying of old age but refuses to admit defeat, but at this time, like street gangsters who have nothing to do, they look at each other coldly, figure out the details of the other party, and decide whether to make a move.

"Master Qu said everything?" Nan Zhijin asked.

Qu Zixi didn't answer, annoyed that he hadn't kept it a secret, but he was really not good at doing this kind of thing.

"The imperial court is about to blow a bloody wind, this is what Lord Qu wants to see?"

Qu Zixi leaned forward, "The court, the court, you only have the court in your heart, and there is no world?" Nan Zhijin, the degree of corruption in the imperial court is deeper than I expected, if you know, you are acting for the tiger, if you don't know, you are ignorant and ignorant. I decided to stand by His Majesty's side, and even if I don't get the support of the hundred officials, I will fight to the end. ”

Nan Zhijin listened calmly, and suddenly smiled, "Lord Qu is the prime minister that His Majesty needs, and you will do it for a long time." ”

Qu Zixi was disgusted with this kind of manipulation again, and stepped forward and said: "You are wrong, I have already made a request to Your Majesty, and I have been agreed, I will always stay in the Imperial History Terrace and supervise the hundred officials for Your Majesty, as for the Prime Minister, Your Majesty will choose someone else." ”

Nan Zhijin's face changed slightly, and then he shook his head, "For the time being, Your Majesty will choose to choose, and you will still choose Lord Qu." ”

"Do you still think you know your majesty's thoughts?" Qu Zixi shook his head sympathetically, "Your Majesty will surprise you." ”

Nan Zhijin was silent, but his expression showed that he still believed that everything was expected.

Qu Zixi didn't want to say anything more, and raised his head and said: "Lord Nan, please go back, you are the imperial history, do your job well first, and for a long time to come, the imperial history platform will be very busy." So will you. ”

The words of the right patrol made Nan Zhijin stunned, he was ready to go to righteousness generously, how could there be a "long period of time"? (To be continued.) )
