Chapter 281: Follow the Trend
In the conference hall in King Gong's mansion, Yu Yunwen was talking with King Gong Zhao Dian Pinming.
The two have different looks, but they also reflect the difference in their hearts. With a calm face, Zhao Duan saw that Yu Yunwen on the other side was worried, so he asked softly, "Does Lord Yu have something to say?" β
"Your Highness is wise, the old minister is for the current military and political affairs of the imperial court, and he is controlled by Zhang Shuo and Zeng Di's party, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to His Highness in the future......" Yu Yunwen hesitated for a moment, and then spoke directly to Zhao Dian.
Zhao Dian smiled lightly and put down the teacup: "Lord Yu, do you think the second emperor brother of this king can finally enter the East Palace?" β
The question of "this ......" without warning caught Yu Yunwen a little off guard, not to mention that this question is very taboo, so Yu Yunwen didn't know what to do for a while.
"Please forgive the old minister's presumptuousness, His Majesty intends to delegate power in the near future, and most of the major affairs in the court and China are handled by King Qing himself, if this goes on for a long time, Your Highness, you are far away from the holy favor, I am afraid it will be ......"
Yu Yunwen kept the following words and did not say that he would go down directly, but the meaning he wanted to express had been passed on to King Gong Zhao Dan.
King Gong Zhao just stood up calmly, walked a few steps in the hall, and then glanced back at Yu Yunwen: "What Lord Yu said is extremely true, but you should also know the truth that Mu Xiu will be destroyed by Lin Feng!" β
"Your Highness means ......"
"Lord Yu, you share the weal and woe with this king, and this king will naturally not let your hard work go to waste. However, the top priority now is not to fight for power in the court, but to think about how to collect evidence of the other party's crimes for future counterattacks! β
"Your Highness is wise! The old minister has lived in the court for a long time, and it seems that he is becoming more and more pedantic......"
"Lord Yu doesn't need to be presumptuous, that Ye Yu should return to Beijing in a few days, I don't know if Lord Yu has a way to deal with it?"
If you say that the two things that Zhao Dian remembers the most in his heart now, one is the battle for imperial power with King Qing, and the other is how to eradicate the hidden danger of Ye Yu.
I thought that Ye Yu would be transferred out of Beijing because there was an opportunity to carry out a eradication plan, but unfortunately he was assassinated many times and failed.
It is good luck to avoid danger once or twice, but it is not luck to be safe and sound many times, but it has become a climate that cannot be underestimated.
But Li Dao is now busy cleaning up bandits, and he has no time to take care of these things.
Eliminating bandits is no more difficult than fighting on the march, and even fighting on the march is even more difficult than fighting on the march.
These bandits can be backward in armor, or they can be said to be defeated at the touch of a button and have no combat effectiveness. However, the scattered star-like pattern makes the officers and soldiers seem overstretched to clean up.
There are many mountains and rivers and ravines in various places, and there are not a few bandits who gather there? Therefore, this scattered distribution situation made Li Dao toss and turn endlessly and extremely time-consuming in the battle against the Hidden Alliance.
Zhao Dian has a text and a martial arts by his side, except for his father-in-law Li Dao, it is this Yu Yunwen in front of him. Now that Li Dao is tired of cleaning up bandits, he can only listen to Yu Yunwen's opinion.
Yu Yunwen pondered for a while, and then said respectfully: "Your Highness, this time Ye Yu went to eastern Zhejiang to patrol the heavens, although he deposed many of our officials, but at the same time, Zhang Shuo and Zeng Di's protΓ©gΓ©s also suffered a lot, which shows that this person does not have the slightest partiality. This person is not only a talent, but now he is receiving the favor of His Majesty, so it is better to draw him to His Highness's side......"
"That's it!" King Gong Zhao Duan waved his hand, his face full of displeasure: "Lord Yu can understand this person's appreciation, but there is no need to mention it anymore as for the matter of wooing......"
"I heard that the officials of the eastern states of Zhejiang jointly wrote a letter to impeach Ye Yu, I don't know if there is such a thing?"
Yu Yunwen is the first assistant to lead the Privy Council, and he naturally knows the concerts of officials in various places, so he said in a deep voice: "This is indeed the case, and the backlash this time is not small. β
"In that case, why doesn't Lord Yu take advantage of the trend?"
Zhao Dian paused for a moment when he said this, and then continued: "But you have to wait and see what happens in advance, and wait for them to eat the dog first......
"Lao Chen understands!"
By the time Yu Yunwen walked out of Prince Gong's mansion, the sky had gradually darkened, and the condensed clouds pressed the sky very low.
Yu Yunwen looked up at the sky and knew that this was the prelude to rain, so he hurriedly got into the soft sedan car and prepared to go back.
However, when he was about to board the soft sedan chair, he suddenly thought of something, so he asked a guard beside him: "How did you check last time?" β
"Back to the master, I don't have a clue for the time being......"
"Then continue to investigate, report as soon as there is news, and remember not to make a noise!"
"The villain understands!"
"Well, go home......"
As night fell, in the study of King Qing's mansion, King Qing Zhao Kai was flipping through the recitals on his desk.
These are the pieces sent from the palace, although they are not important military events, but Zhao Kai is still very serious.
Although he is not the crown prince now, he exercises the same authority as the crown prince.
However, as for whether he can become the prince in the end, Zhao Kai does not take it very seriously in this regard. Now in his heart, it is to complete the government affairs entrusted to him by Zhao Yan.
Zhang Shuo, who was sitting on the side of the study, saw that Zhao Kai's temperament was still flat, and his face showed a strange look: "Your Highness, then Ye Yu is so bold and reckless in eastern Zhejiang, you just ignore it?" β
"Then you say, what should this king do?"
"The officials are in the hands of this son, and they pose a great threat to us, so it is better to take this opportunity to impeach him and let His Majesty depose him completely. In this way, the ministry will naturally belong to ......"
Zhao Kai glanced up at Zhang Shuo, and then interrupted: "How did Lord Taiwei know that after His Majesty deposed Ye Yu, you would be able to get your wish?" Don't forget, Yu Yunwen and they are not vegetarians! β
"That's okay, now His Royal Highness is handling the government for His Majesty, this matter is not difficult to do!"
"Even if it's as you say, then why do you have to target Ye Yu, what did he do wrong?" Zhao Kai simply put down the concerto, reclined on the seat, and asked with a slightly pale face.
"He ......"
"Shouldn't those officials who have been killed and demoted really deserve to be killed?"
"But they ......"
"If you allow your subordinates to act recklessly for the sake of the sheer size of your own power, won't this king become a selfish and ruthless villain!?"
When Zhao Kai said this, he slowly got up and walked around the table, and came to the front of Zhang Shuo and said seriously: "You intend to nominate this king, and this king is naturally grateful, but this does not mean that this king will accept your approach, you, understand?" β
"The minister understands!"
"Your grievances are not to be ignored by the king, but you must remember that you must be forgiving and forgiving, and you must not embarrass the king......"
Zhang Shuo's expression changed several times, and finally bowed slightly: "Yes!" β
Zhang said that it was nearly the second watch of the night when he returned to the house, and as soon as he got off the carriage, he saw the servant at the door greet him, saying that Zeng Dizeng had been waiting in the hall for a long time.
Hearing that Zeng Di was visiting at night, Zhang said that he knew that the situation was not simple, so he instructed the housekeeper in the house to invite Zeng Di into the study to talk.
When Zeng Di came to the study, Zhang Shuo asked directly: "Lord Zeng, come to visit late at night, could it be ......?"
"Exactly! The matter you asked the subordinate to investigate before, the subordinate already has a trace of eyebrows, but now it is still unclear! β
"Well, this matter is not in a hurry, Lord Zeng can investigate slowly, this matter is very important, and you must not leak the news!"
"Xia Guan understands!"
Zeng Di nodded and said that he was expressing his attitude, but when he saw Zhang Shuo's expression, he asked, "Taiwei, why are you worried?" β
"Hey! Our Royal Highness King Qing is too indecisive, Ye Yu is so rampant in eastern Zhejiang, His Royal Highness actually talked about the old man! Zhang Shuo slapped the table indignantly, with a very dissatisfied face.
"Your Highness has always been like this, and Lord Taiwei doesn't need to be too depressed. Your Highness is kind to others, isn't this the reason why you and I support Your Highness? β
"Having said that, but the old man can't swallow this breath, the old man has spent many years of hard work in eastern Zhejiang, and only then has some small foundation, and this time it was completely destroyed by Ye Yu, you say, if the old man swallows his anger, wouldn't it make your protΓ©gΓ© and my old official feel cold?"
Zeng Di twisted his beard lightly, nodded slightly, and said: "What Lord Taiwei said is reasonable, but you don't have to worry, anyway, Ye Yu is making such a fuss, and it is not only us who has offended......"
"Hehehe, it's very reasonable!"
β¦β¦
Unconsciously, when Ye Yu returned to the capital, it was already the middle of winter.
On the Liuhe Tower, Ye Yu and a Taoist priest stood side by side, looking at the Lin'an Imperial City in the distance without saying a word.
After a long time, Ye Yu's voice trembled a little: "He really ...... Immortal Swimming? β
The Taoist priest on the side responded with a sad expression: "Yes, two months ago, the family teacher led the poor Dao and the three senior brothers Ma, Tan, and Liu to return to Guanzhong, and flew up to Daliang (Kaifeng) on the way......"
Ye Yu knew that the so-called ascension of Taoism was Xianyou, and Xianyou was a saying that he had died. He didn't expect Wang Chongyang to leave like this, but the fate of the two as master and apprentice was only a few months.
Standing beside him is Qiu Chuji in the Seven Sons of Quanzhen, and the three senior brothers of Ma, Tan, and Liu in Qiu Chuji's mouth, that is, Ma Yu, Tan Chuduan, and Liu Chuxuan.
Now although Ye Yu has seen through parting, he has not seen through life and death. This teacher who taught martial arts, and now comes the bad news of his death, which is not a deep blow to him.
The cold wind gusted at the top of the tower, but Ye Yu didn't feel the slightest, because at this moment his heart was gradually cold.
Life and death, he really can't see through it, and he doesn't want to see through it!
"Where are you buried?"
"Buried in Liu Jiang Village, Zhongnan."
"Thank you!"
"Master once said that you are a closed disciple of his old man, and I hope you can fulfill Master's grand wish in the future......
"Ambition? What ambition? β
"Promote the study of Taoism!"
Ye Yu was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then turned around: "Senior Brother Qiu, don't worry, Master, his old man has spent his whole life preaching and preaching, and as a disciple, he will uphold his will!" β
"Thank you! This is a letter left by the family teacher to Lord Ye! β
Qiu Chuji said and took out a letter from his arms, and then handed it to Ye Yu's hand: "Poor Dao has just taken over the teaching affairs of the Quanzhen Sect, and now there are many trivial matters and it is inconvenient to stay longer, so I will leave!" β
"Cherish all the way!" Ye Yu arched his hand and watched Qiu leave with the opportunity.
