Chapter 142: The Second Elder Leaves Beijing
After the fragrant tea was served, Sun Yueling couldn't help but say to Chu Xinying: "When did Miss Chu come and how long do you plan to stay in Jingshi?" ”
Chu Xinying said: "The Jingshi who arrived yesterday went straight to your hall today, and your cousin said that you went out to do important business, but fortunately we waited for you." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "Han Qianshui didn't tell her that Sun Yueling was to protect the queen and go to Xiangshan, after all, Han Qianshui was thoughtful, and he didn't know much about the relationship between Sun Yueling and her, so he didn't talk nonsense.
Sun Yueling said with a smile: "Since I have come to Jingshi, I must stay for a few more days, so that I can show my heart, after all, I am also from Baishi Mountain City, right?" ”
Chu Xinying laughed and said, "The matter of you joining the Caring Hall, Uncle Ting has already told us through letters, the old hall master of the Caring Hall, Li Ruobing, and my father are old friends, and we are all happy for you to join the Caring Hall." ”
Hearing her say this, Sun Yueling was embarrassed and said embarrassedly: "This...... I didn't have Miss Yuming, so I joined the Caring Hall without permission...... It's ......."
Before he could finish speaking, Chu Xinying interrupted him and said, "Brother Sun, although you are in the hall, but we have something in Baishi Mountain City, will you not help?" Although you don't work in the mountain city, we still treat you as our own people. ”
When Sun Yueling heard her say this, he finally calmed down and said, "Miss, don't worry, as long as Miss gives an order, I will still be a general under your command." ”
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and the atmosphere became more harmonious. Sun Yueling talked with them, talked about the old things in Korea and Liaodong, talked about their respective experiences after separation, and finally talked about Yuan Hongdao, who left and died on Guanglu Island in order to protect them, and they were all sad and emotional.
Sun Yueling said indignantly: "One day, I will sword Zheng Huhuan of the Chongding League to avenge the blood hatred of Yuan Protector." ”
Chu Xinying nodded and said, "Yes, we will not forget this hatred, one day, we will make them pay the price of blood." ”
Uncle Ting saw that the atmosphere was a little dignified, so he smiled and said: "Master Sun, this is the first time for our young lady to come to Jingshi, this time to do business, the time to stay here is not short, there are many scenery in Jingshi, but I have to ask you to take her around to play, haha......"
Ma Hou then said: "Yes, Brother Sun, Miss didn't need to come for this trip, but after she heard the news of your imprisonment, she told the young city lord that this trip must come, but she was worried about your safety!" ”
Chu Xinying's face was slightly red, and she said, "Hugh wants to listen to the nonsense of the monkey, how can there be such a thing......
When Sun Yueling heard them say this, his heart swelled with emotion, but he didn't expect Chu Xinying to be so concerned about him, and hurriedly said to Chu Xinying: "Miss is as kind to me as a mountain, without Miss's acceptance and promotion that day, how can there be Sun Yueling today, I will definitely not forget Miss's kindness to me!" ”
When Chu Xinying heard him say this, she became more and more embarrassed, and pretended to be calm and said: "Brother Sun is too polite, the reason why you can be where you are today is all based on your own ability, how can I have anything!" But my heart was very useful, and I felt that the trip was worthwhile.
Since they were separated in the Bohai Sea that day, their boatload of people in Baishi Mountain City returned all the way back under her leadership, and it took more than a month to return to Chengdu. They sailed to Liaodong to do business, although they made a lot of money, but after all, they lost many brothers, and Yuan Hongdao, the protector of the mountain city, died in the Bohai Sea, and her brother Chu Zhennan knew the ins and outs of the whole thing, and he was also a relative in his heart.
For some reason, she is in the mountain city, and she always thinks of those days of sailing and fighting, maybe this is her first voyage, and it is the first time to help the Ming army fight foreign enemies, so she has a deep memory; What's even more strange is that when she thinks of those years of fighting together, she always thinks of Sun Yueling's figure looming in her heart, which makes her feel incredible.
Perhaps this maverick man's speech and demeanor left a deep impression on her; or this man who has been with her all the way, has always been obedient to her and has become her powerful assistant; Or, is he in Zhenjiang City, desperate to fight with the enemy in order to protect her?
Anyway, in her heart, she always thinks of him from time to time and comes to mind. Especially after receiving the news from Uncle Ting that he was imprisoned, she was even more affectionate, and she couldn't wait to fly to BJ to see him. Therefore, for this trip, she pleaded with her eldest brother Chu Zhennan for a long time before she got the opportunity to come to BJ.
Unexpectedly, after she came all the way from Chengdu to Beijing, she learned that Sun Yueling had been released from prison. Of course, this is a good thing, and she is only happy in her heart.
Sun Yueling reunited with the old man, and he was also open-minded, and said with a smile: "At noon today, I will have dinner in my East Hall, and I want to do my best to fulfill the friendship of the landlord, haha......"
……
Since the empress was assassinated in Xiangshan, the situation in the capital has become more confusing. Although there was no bloody fight on the surface, the various forces were secretly gearing up and preparing to attack.
The queen was assassinated, and the biggest object of suspicion was the Citigroup that was attached to Wei Zhongxian, but because the matter was big and there was no conclusive evidence, Jinyiwei could only deploy privately, investigate secretly, and strengthen the monitoring of Citigroup.
In the Xiangshan Daxiong Treasure Hall, Fang Yichen duel with the mysterious man, forcing him to use the stunt "Ice Xuan Finger" at the bottom of the box, so there is no doubt that the mysterious man is Xiong Sifei, the owner of Citigroup, and after analysis, everyone unanimously believes that the person who killed Qin Feng that day must also be him.
Fang Yichen and Xiong Sifei duel, neither of them could kill the other, and in the end they fought to defeat both sides, each seriously injured. After Fang Yichen returned to Beijing from Xiangshan, he shrank in the south hall all day, staying at home, Sun Yueling went to see him, according to him, this time without cultivation for three and a half years, I am afraid it will be difficult to recover his strength.
As for the demon handsome Li Yexun who intended to get involved with the princess, according to Sun Yueling's later understanding, he really had already broken away from the Thirty-six Dao and had nothing to do with the Thirty-six Dao. It's just that Li Yexun can appear in Xiangshan, and it is very likely that he took refuge in Citigroup, because he betrayed the gang, Yuan Tiangang arrested him everywhere, and he can only continue to gain a foothold in Beijing by finding a more powerful backer.
Although the dense clouds in the capital are dark, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with his Sun Yueling. It is known that the queen's dragon fetus has finally been preserved for the time being, which makes many people breathe a sigh of relief and let go of the burden in their hearts. After Zhu Huiyan entered the palace, he never looked for him again, and he didn't get the news that he was going to be reactivated, so he was the most idle at this time.
In the next few days, it was the most relaxing day Sun Yueling lived, either accompanying Chu Xinying who came from afar to visit the beautiful scenery of BJ, or finding Xu Guangqi of the Jesuits, and learning from him the methods of mathematics and firearms drills, and the life was very comfortable.
In the early morning of this day, after he and Chu Xinying visited Tsinghua Garden on the outskirts of BJ, they rushed to the main hall of concern as usual, intending to report to Li Ruobing about the situation in the East Hall for nearly a month. When he arrived in Dongtang, to his surprise, Li Ruobing was not there, but ran into the military advisor Wang Wenyan.
After greeting Wang Wenyan, Sun Yueling asked, "Military Master, where did my master go, do you know?" ”
Wang Wenyan said: "Elder Li went outside the city to bid farewell to the second elder Zou Wang, why don't you know?" ”
Sun Yueling was surprised: "Second elder of King Zou? ”
Wang Wenyan saw that he was at a loss, so he said: "Why, didn't you even know that your old boss had left his job?" ”
"My old boss?" Sun Yueling thought for a while, he had only served in the Guozijian and the Criminal Department, and the Guozijian was purely in name, and he had never really worked with those officials; It was only when he was in the Criminal Department that he came into contact with many officials, could it be Wang Ji, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department?
Thinking of this, he said to Wang Wenyan: "Could it be Lord Wang of the Criminal Department?" Why did he leave his job suddenly? ”
Wang Wenyan nodded and sighed: "Yes, it is Lord Wang Jiwang." Then he lowered his voice and said, "Lord Wang is an upright and awe-inspiring person, and he was disliked by Wei Zhongxian for defending Wang Huazhen earlier. This time, because he refused to be sentenced for Wei Zhongxian's designation of Bu Nian and Liu Yixian's fornication with the enemy, Wei Zhongxian was jealous and hated, and he repeatedly slandered in front of the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven 'condemned him for his crimes and denounced him as the people'. ”
"Huh? Is there such a thing? Sun Yueling was shocked when he heard this, although he didn't understand which case led to Wang Ji's resignation, but what he knew was that Wang Ji was an important member of the Donglin Party, and even he was expelled by Wei Zhongxian, it seems that Wei Zhongxian's power has become stronger and stronger, and it should not be underestimated.
He continued to ask: "So, is the Zou Lao you are talking about, is it Zou Yuanbiao of the Third Elder of Donglin, could it be that even he was reprimanded by Wei Zhongxian?" ”
Wang Wenyan was silent for a long time when he heard this, and then said slowly: "Zou Lao was not reprimanded, but asked to resign on his own and ask to return to his hometown. ”
Sun Yueling hurriedly said: "This ...... Is it because of the affairs of Shoushan College? Since returning to the dynasty, Zou Yuanbiao did not like to intervene in the party struggle of the imperial court, but together with Feng Congzhe, he founded the Shoushan Academy and devoted himself to teaching and governing the world.
Recently, Zhu Tongmeng and Guo Yunhou of the Qi Party played to impeach him for forming a party for personal gain in the name of lecturing. He has heard about this incident for a long time, but he didn't expect that even Zou Yuanbiao couldn't withstand the pressure and wanted to resign and return to his hometown.
Wang Wenyan said: "Exactly, after the incident of the Shoushan Academy, Zou Laoyan said that although the Jingshi is the first good place, it is not a place to teach, sighing that he realized too late, so he couldn't stop him even after a few recitals......
Sun Yueling was silent for a while, but he didn't expect things to take a sharp turn, and the two Donglin veterans left the court suddenly, which was really a little unexpected, and I didn't know if it would have any impact on the care hall, so he said: "Military advisor, is their departure good or bad for us?" ”
Wang Wenyan shook his head with a wry smile and said: "How can this be said clearly, I only know that the Son of Heaven does not fully trust us Donglin Party members, otherwise, he will not expel Lord Wang." ”
Sun Yueling's heart shook when he heard this, he knew history, sooner or later the Donglin Party would have a dead end, but now is the second year of the Apocalypse, and it seems that it is still very far away from the arrival of that day, what should he do next?
