Chapter 315: The situation is grim and the sky is about to change

Wanyue Palace, in fact, is a quiet palace residence, although there is no other harem concubine palace atmosphere, but it is extremely elegant and quiet.

When Ye Yu followed Liu Wuyue to this Wanyue Palace, Ye Yu thought that he was going in the wrong direction, and secretly wondered when this Great Inner Palace had such a secluded courtyard.

"Brother Wuyue, why is this Wanyue Palace different from other palaces, but it looks like a small folk residence?" Ye Yu didn't suppress the curiosity in his heart after all, so he had to ask Liu Wuyue beside him.

Liu Wuyue and Ye Yu were very familiar with each other, so they didn't have anything to say, so they explained as they walked: "Lord Ye doesn't know, this Wanyue Palace was built ten years ago, that is, the second year after His Majesty ascended the throne, and the reason why it is different from other palaces is not clear to the miscellaneous family. But ......"

"But what?" Seeing that Liu Wuyue wanted to speak and stopped, Ye Yu suddenly became interested and hurriedly asked.

"But for so many years, whenever His Majesty is depressed, and when there are major events that can't be handled, His Majesty will come to this Wanyue Palace to live for a few days, as for the reason, the miscellaneous family is unknown......"

"Oh? Does 陛xià still have such preferences? Then this Wanyue Palace is really a good place to relieve worries and sorrows! ”

After listening to Liu Wuyue's story, Ye Yu finally understood why Zhao Yan was in Wanyue Palace at this moment, because King Qing's intention to assassinate him was an extremely tricky and painful thing for this emperor as a father.

Therefore, Zhao Yan chose to summon him here!

As for why this Wanyue Palace has this healing function, I'm afraid only Zhao Yan himself knows.

When the two were talking, they had unconsciously arrived at the inner courtyard of Wanyue Palace......

There was no starlight in the gloomy night, which seemed to reflect Zhao Yan's state of mind at this moment. Ye Yu followed Liu Wuyue through the long corridor and came to a quiet pond.

The weather in early spring, for Hangzhou in the south, is already emerald red.

There is a simple but exceptionally quiet grass hall by the pond, and Liu Wuyue did not accompany him after he arrived here. Ye Yu tidied up his clothes and went straight to the direction of the grass hall.

There are a few wisps of green smoke in the grass hall, and a set of quaint tea sets are placed on the bamboo table in the hall, and on the right side of the table is a charcoal stove used to make tea.

Before Ye Yuren entered the grass hall, he had already seen these furnishings from a distance.

"Weichen see His Majesty!"

"Excuse me, this is not the court, Ye Qing's family doesn't have to be polite, sit down!" Zhao Yan couldn't see joy or sorrow on his face, and beckoned Ye Yu to sit down and speak very plainly.

Ye Yu was not polite, so he sat on the opposite side. If his behavior was placed in the Ming and Qing dynasties, he would definitely suffer the crime of disobeying his father, but it was not so harsh in the Song Dynasty.

"Ye Qing's family, you should know what I called you here for...... " Zhao Yan said, so he took the boiled tea from the charcoal stove on the right, first poured a cup of tea in front of Ye Yu, and then poured it for himself.

An undisguised behavior, but it made Ye Yu frightened, he hurriedly stood up, and said in panic: "Your Majesty, this is unacceptable!" ”

"How not?" The teapot in Zhao Yan's hand paused in mid-air for a moment before returning it to the table and asked.

"There is a difference between monarchs and ministers, as a courtier, how can they accept the tea poured by His Majesty, this cup of tea, Weichen dare not drink it!"

Ye Yu is a modern person's thinking, and he doesn't take respect and humility very seriously. But not taking it seriously does not mean ignorance.

Especially in the relationship between monarchs and ministers, Ye Yu has always been cautious, because accompanying the monarch is like accompanying the tiger, and the heart of the emperor is the most unpredictable, so in this regard, he gets along with each other with an equal heart, and responds with respect and humility.

Now this Zhao Yan not only poured him tea, but also the first cup, this kind of behavior that violated the courtesy of the monarch and the minister made the alarm bell in Ye Yu's mind ring instantly.

Zhao Yan smiled lightly, then waved his hand and said: "Don't be polite, you have always been a person who does not follow the etiquette law, why are you paying so much attention to red tape today?" ”

"This ......" Ye Yuxin said that you are praising me, or are you saying that I usually act recklessly?

"Okay, sit down and drink tea, this is the Mao Feng and purple clay pot you made back then, the two are jointly shared, it really complements each other, come, how about a taste of my tea-making skills?"

"Uh...... Wechen obeys! Ye Yu Shi Ran sat down slowly, solemnly picked up the teacup, and took a sip.

Zhao Yan raised his eyes to look at Ye Yu and asked in a condensed voice, "How is it?" ”

"Good tea! A good hand of tea brewed by Majesty! Ye Yu smiled with twelve points and said very sincerely.

And Ye Yu's answer was not satisfied with Zhao Yan, but said a little sadly: "In my life, I have always wanted to be a good emperor, but now the emperor has not done a good job, nor has he been a competent father!" ”

"Your Majesty, you have been ...... since you ascended the throne"

Ye Yu wanted to comfort Zhao Yan, but unexpectedly, Zhao Yan took over the conversation directly: "You don't have to comfort me, in fact, I know very well in my heart that ideals are beautiful, but reality is often cruel after all." Now that I can't restore the great cause of my ancestors, and even the relatives around me have to put me to death, am I really old? ”

This question is very poignant, so it is also difficult to answer. If you use flattery to prevaricate, it will be an unflattering thing at this time. So at this time, Ye Yu habitually chose to be silent.

After being silent for a moment, Ye Yu saw Zhao Yan's melancholy and depressed face, and finally comforted him unbearably: "The person in the emperor's family is actually the most pitiful kind of person in this world. They enjoy the glory and wealth that others cannot achieve in their lifetimes, but they are also willing to suffer the great risks behind this glory and wealth......"

"So, Your Majesty, as a father, you, are not wrong! The mistake is that they gave birth to this imperial family by mistake! Maybe this is fate, although His Majesty is the Son of Heaven, he is also a mortal after all, how can he do everything as he wants? ”

After listening to Ye Yu's objective explanation, Zhao Yan seemed to have changed his feelings, raised his eyes to look at Ye Yu, and said: "The Qing family can think so much, which really makes me feel very relieved!" Regarding King Qing's case, I don't know what the Qing family thinks? ”

Finally getting to the point, Ye Yu gently put down the teacup and said respectfully: "The case of His Royal Highness King Qing has become clear, although Weichen has the heart to help, he is powerless......"

"I want you to save King Qing, are you willing?" Zhao Yan hesitated for a moment, and finally asked softly with a look of embarrassment.

Zhao Yan said this sentence at this moment, which made Ye Yu feel a little surprised, because this matter should not come from the mouth of His Majesty today. Even if Zhao Yan intended to let him secretly save King Qing, he would not directly show his heart in person.

The common method is to have others relay it on behalf of others, or to use implicit words to let the courtiers understand the mind of the Son of Heaven.

However, Zhao Yan treated each other so frankly, which also reflected the deep anxiety in his heart at the moment.

"Your Majesty, the crime committed by King Qing is a great crime of rebellion, how can Wei Chen save him?"

"The Qing family doesn't have to be too modest, with the prestige of the Qing family among the people and the status of the scholars in the world, as long as the Qing family changes the verdict of this case for another reason, I believe that the people of the world will be convinced!"

"Although what His Majesty said is reasonable, but if this is the case, then what else does my court need to do with the law? If Wechen obeyed His Majesty and did this, wouldn't Wechen have failed the hearts of the people of the world? ”

When Ye Yu said this, he got up very solemnly, and then bowed to Zhao Yanshi, and cut the gold and cut the railway: "For the sake of His Majesty's heart, and lose the heart of the people in the world, Weichen can't do it!" ”

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......" Ye Yu's tough response made Zhao Yan's feelings rise sharply, so he was involved in a violent cough.

"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself!"

Ye Yu comforted on the side, and Zhao Yan took out the pill from the bottle on the side, greedily swallowed the life-saving pill, and then took it with tea to gradually relieve the cough.

Zhao Yan, who was relieving his condition, looked at Ye Yu with a weak face, with tears faintly in his eyes, and then waved his hand helplessly: "That's it, you are right, you can't lose your heart to the world because of the selfishness of one of my people!" ”

"Your Majesty!"

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go back and rest early, I'm tired......"

Ye Yu looked up and saw Zhao Yan slowly closing his eyes, lying quietly on the chair, and bowed his hand with a complicated expression: "Your Majesty, take care of the dragon body, and Weichen will retire." ”

Ye Yu quietly walked out of the grass hall, and then went straight out of the palace.

Along the way, Ye Yu's mood was always gloomy, and when he was in Wanyue Palace, he wanted to agree to Zhao Yan's request. Because as Zhao Yan said, with his reputation today, as long as he says that there are doubts in this case, there will definitely not be too many people who doubt it.

Even if the ministers of the DPRK and China intervene, then the emperor will directly come forward to resolve it, and this matter can actually be easily resolved.

And the root cause of the solution of this matter lies in him Ye Yu, because only if he overturns this case, Zhao Yan can suppress the ministers of the court with the authority of the king.

Otherwise, in the case of this conclusive evidence and no maneuver, even if he is a generation of kings, he will not be able to help himself.

Tiger poison does not eat children, even if the parents and children really intend to rebel against their father, as a flesh-and-blood father, no one wants to order their son to be beheaded.

But he refused this request to be a father, which made Ye Yu feel faintly helpless in his heart. However, Ye Yu knew very well in his heart that he couldn't back down on this matter, and he knew better what he was doing.

In the following days, everyone was talking about King Qing's rebellion, and Zhao Yan had not gone to the court to deal with government affairs for many days, let alone made any decisions on King Qing's matter.

Of course, the envoys of Goryeo and Japan were naturally put aside.

The lights in the Dali Temple are bright, and there is a person reading under the lamp in the confined wing, this person is very quiet and careful, and there is only the sound of turning the pages in the quiet night.

Suddenly, a slender figure appeared by the window behind him, and then the voice suddenly disappeared.

By the time it reappeared, the figure was already standing behind the man reading the book.

The cold blade was raised casually, and the light in the room was used to www.biquge.info a little cold light. The reader suddenly sensed that the situation was not good, and then one of them looked back at him, revealing a pale face.

This person was Zhao Kai, the king of Qing, and suddenly saw a black-clothed masked man raise a knife and cut it over.

The air in the early morning was exceptionally fresh, and when the first rays of the sun in the east shone on the earth, the whole capital became tense again.

The source of the tension in the capital lies in a news from Zhang Meng, the secretary of Dali Temple, into the palace!

King Qing Zhao Kai was assassinated and died!

This sensational news once again shook the nerves of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, and even made the current emperor Zhao Yan ill.

When Zhao Yan's condition deteriorated and he was dying, he ordered Zhang Meng, the secretary of Dali Temple, to be put on death row, and the position of Dali Temple Secretary was temporarily represented by Ye Yu, and the murderer of Zhao Kai, the king of Qing, was thoroughly investigated.

Ye Yu was also extremely cautious about this matter, and immediately took over the entire Dali Temple and conducted a detailed investigation of the murder that night.

However, after some investigation, unexpectedly, the spearhead of this incident was directed at Taiweifu, because after the murderer was arrested, he learned that the murderer's name was Yuan Peng.

Yuan Pengguan worshiped the Imperial City Captain in Beijing, and he was personally recommended by Taiwei Zhang Shuo back then. So the root cause of this matter has become more and more complicated now, because after Yuan Peng returned to the case, he claimed to have been instructed by Zhang Shuo.

This time it really turned the world upside down, and these things happened one after another in just a few days.

First, King Zhao Kai of Qing attempted to assassinate against the Lantern Festival, and then Taiwei Zhang said that he hired a murderer to assassinate King Qing, and this series of incidents made people overwhelmed.

Many sensitive people gradually feel that this Lin'an day seems to be really changing......

Since the matter was implicated in the Taiwei Mansion, Ye Yu had to be cautious, so after consulting Zhao Yan, who was seriously ill, he brought Zhang Shuo to Dali Temple for interrogation.

Of course, as a lieutenant, Zhang Shuo is in a high position, and Yuan Peng's words alone cannot be finalized.

But to borrow what Yu Yunwen said from the original imperial study, Zhang Shuo may be an accomplice who bewitched King Qing to kill his father. Now because King Qing's affair has been revealed, it is difficult to have the power to return to heaven, so in order to avoid being implicated, he assassinated King Qing to avoid future troubles.

This kind of analysis is very reasonable, and Zhang said that it is an indisputable fact that he has always supported and protected King Qing, and it is not impossible for the rabbit to die and the fox to do such a thing in order to protect himself.

If this conclusion is established, then Zhang Shuo has the motive to kill King Qing, and now Yuan Peng has testified that Zhang Shuo is the culprit behind the scenes, and this matter is obviously reasonable and natural.

Regarding the trial and judgment of Taiwei Zhang Shuo, Ye Yu did not make an assertion, but submitted the case file to Zhao Yan. In addition to Zhao Yan always paying attention to this case, secondly, Ye Yu didn't want to mix too many opinions in this matter.

When Zhao Yan saw the file on the trial of Zhang Shuo, he immediately did not ask whether the facts of the case were cleared, but directly ordered Zhang Shuo to be put on death row and beheaded at a later date.

Putting this case in such a hasty manner was something that Ye Yu and even the ministers did not expect.

But thinking about it, I can understand Zhao Yan's mood when he made this decision, and he was filled with the pain of losing his child, and he was no longer able to think about things with normal thinking.

What he wants to do most now is to kill the culprit of King Qing!

Moreover, Zhao Yan had already been dissatisfied with Zhang Shuo, if it weren't for the Queen Mother's backing with the Emperor Taishang, he would have driven Zhang Shuo out of the court.

Now it can be said that new and old hatreds gather in one place, so Zhang said that there is no need to discuss the murder of King Qing.

King Qing's death indicates that the balance of the crown prince battle tends to tilt; The downfall of Zhang's statement indicates that the bureaucrats of the Zhang faction in the court are leaderless and will face collapse at any time.

Therefore, for a while, the entire court bureaucratic system of the Great Song Dynasty once again faced a chaotic situation.

The reason why it is said to be disorder is actually a phenomenon of a major reshuffle and officials taking sides.

In the face of the court situation in the past month, Ye Yu will not be without feeling in the court, and now the emperor's condition is getting worse and worse, and the ministers in the court have begun to have chaos because of what King Qing and Zhang said.

But Ye Yu couldn't stop these at all, he could only do what he could.

In the quiet courtyard of the back garden of the Dragon Gate Dart Shop, Ye Yu and a strange man sat opposite each other at the stone table, each holding chess pieces and playing against each other.

This strange man was wearing a black gauze hat on his head, and he couldn't see the true face of this person at all, but his words were extremely gentle: "Ye Yu, this move is dangerous enough, and it may be impossible to ......recover."

"Now that you know, why do you still follow my pawns?" Ye Yu looked calm, quietly pinched the sunspot, and then landed on the chessboard casually.

"The game pays attention to common preferences, and you and I coincide on this!"

"Since you're not afraid, why shouldn't I play with you? In this life, it is rare to meet a good chess friend, even if the catastrophe is not recovered, Ye will say that it is not too late......"

The man in the hat smiled heartily: "One misstep becomes a thousand years of hatred, and looking back is a hundred years old, I hope you and I will not be wrong!" ”

"Eternal fall into hell and straight to the nine heavens, in fact, are only in one thought, just like this black and white chess pieces are intertwined and indistinguishable, and it is really difficult to tell the winner until the end......

While the two were chatting with each other, at this time, Beitangmo walked in, Ye Yu stopped the chess pieces in his hand, and asked with a sideways face, "What's the matter?" ”

"The decree has come from the palace, and the herald is waiting in the palace at this moment......

"Oh? Divine decree? ”

Ye Yufeng's eyebrows frowned slightly, revealing a hint of strangeness. Then he dropped the chess pieces lightly, sighed and said, "Take care of yourself!" ”

Ye Yu arched his hand to the man in the hat as he spoke, and then got up and hurriedly left the small courtyard.

And the chess game on the table has actually been divided, the man in the hat shook his head and said to himself: "I hope this chess is like you, otherwise it will ......"

The will of the holy decree is to let Ye Yu enter the palace immediately to face the saint, and there is no explanation as for what to discuss. Ye Yu wanted to inquire again, but this messenger was not Liu Wuyue, but an extremely unfamiliar face.

Due to the urgency of the wording of the holy decree, Ye Yu did not delay, so he tidied up his clothes and followed this chamberlain into the palace to face the saint.

"Lord Ye, this is the Chonghua Palace, His Majesty is summoned here, please!" This inner eunuch was extremely respectful and motioned for Ye Yu to enter the Chonghua Hall to face the saint.

The holy decree mentioned the deliberations of the Chonghua Palace, this Ye Yu heard and understood clearly, although he questioned why he was not in the imperial study, but he did not hesitate too much, so he straightened his posture and walked into the Chonghua Palace.
