Zhu Xueyan waved her hand violently, a cold light flashed in her hand, and a terrifying arc of light flew straight towards Lin Yiqing.

But at this moment, Lin Yiqing, who seemed completely defenseless, suddenly jumped up and dodged the attack of the light arc.

After the arc of light flew under Lin Yiqing, he spun around sharply and flew towards Lin Yiqing again, but at this time, a person flashed and strode over, waving a Japanese katana with both hands, and slashed it with one sword, only to hear a metal crisp sound of "Zheng", and the ring blade thrown by Zhu Xueyan was cut in two.

"I can't imagine that there are still people in Middle-earth who can use the Qiankun Circle." The man who cut off Zhu Xueyan's weapon turned around, looked at Zhu Xueyan who was still hiding in the dark, and sneered.

Zhu Xueyan's heart sank suddenly.

She knew that she and everyone else might have fallen into the enemy's trap.

"The heaven and earth here will be friends, please come out to meet, if there is any holiday, you can explain it." The man waved the katana in his hand and said loudly, "Lord Lin has not offended the friends of your guild, and your guild can make such a big move?" ”

"If no one comes out to explain, then we're welcome." Lin Yiqing sneered and wiped it on his face, Zhu Xueyan saw that his face instantly changed into another person, and he couldn't help but feel cold for a while.

Zhu Xueyan heard the sound of a fierce fight behind her, she gritted her teeth, pulled out her pistol, rushed out of her hiding place, and shouted: "It's a dog's paw!" Let's go, everyone! ”

Before she could finish speaking, she was about to raise her gun to aim, when a long knife silently slashed at her.

Qichun Garden. Siyi Book House.

"Sixth Master. It's so late. Our sisters shouldn't have disturbed your sleep, but the matter was urgent, so we invited the sixth master, and I hope that the sixth master will be considerate of our sisters. Empress Dowager Renxi looked at Prince Jing Yixin, who was wearing court clothes and bowing to the ground, and said in a slightly uneasy voice.

Prince Jing fell to the ground and did not get up, although he was still very calm on his face, but he was very nervous in his heart.

Except for the time when the bandits entered the Beijing Division. This is the second time Renxi has summoned herself in the middle of the night!

And she, who has always been quiet, why does she seem a little urgent today?

Could it be that something is wrong?

"Sixth Master, please get up, sit and talk." Renxi saw that Prince Jing did not get up, so he stepped forward and helped Prince Jing up with his own hands. Li Jintai on the side hurriedly moved an embroidery and asked Prince Jing to sit down.

"Dare to ask the Queen Mother, I don't know what is the important matter of summoning ministers late at night?" After Prince Jing sat down, he settled down and spoke.

Renxi and Rentai glanced at each other. Rentai nodded, and Renxi looked at Prince Jing. said: "Sixth Master, Lin Yiqing is indeed talented, but his talent is too strong and not easy to control, our sisters discussed it and planned to keep their children in the palace, what does the sixth master think?" ”

"This must not happen!" Hearing Renxi's words, Prince Jing was taken aback and almost jumped up from the embroidery, "Who made this plan for the Queen Mother?" You can kill this person! “

"Why did the sixth master say that?" Renxi and Rentai glanced at each other quickly, and Renxi then asked, the uneasiness in his eyes even thicker.

"The queen mother handled it like this, making it clear that she was holding Lin Yiqing's children hostage, how could Lin Yiqing not understand in her heart? With his children as a hostage, he must have understood in his heart that the court did not trust him, so for this move, there must be suspicion in his heart, and the suspicion arises, how can loyalty last long? If he is framed by a traitorous minister in the future, he will not be willing to stand back, once he makes a rebellion, it is equivalent to the court forcing this person to rebel, this person's ability, the queen mother still doesn't know? Prince Jing said sharply, "Haven't the Queen Mother thought about the stakes in this?" Who came up with this idea for the Queen Mother, you can immediately behead this person! ”

"Sixth master, don't worry, I haven't thought about this." Renxi saw that Prince Jing was anxious, and her heart was also busy, and she secretly regretted that things were done in a hurry, but she still expressed her worries, "But Sixth Master, you also know that this Lin Yiqing's ability is not ordinary, as soon as I see him today, I will know it, such a character has always been like this, if it is not well controlled, it will definitely endanger the world, so I thought about this way to control him, and keep his children as hostages, which is for this." If not, what could be better? ”

"Yes, Sixth Master, if a character like him is not well controlled, I am afraid that he will suffer from it." Rentai also said, "After the two of us calculated, we felt that there was no good way, so we thought that the Holy Ancestor Ning Xuye was the one who restrained Wu Shan Gui and left his eldest son Wu Hero in Beijing to control it and prevent it from causing chaos.

"The Empress Dowager knows that in the past, in order to control Wushan Gui, the Holy Ancestor Emperor left his son Wu Hero in Beijing, and married the eldest princess of Heshuo Jianning to Wu Hero, thinking that he was bound, but what was the result? Wu Shangui raised an army to make a rebellion, and he did not care about the safety of his son! Prince Jing said in a loud voice, "What is the use of such hostages?" Now that Lin Yiqing has led the soldiers and people to return, it can be said that he is loyal, but the queen mother keeps her children as hostages, isn't this tantamount to being jealous of him and forcing him to rebel? When Wu Shangui was in turmoil, the Holy Ancestor Emperor beheaded his son Wu Ying, did Wu Shangui care? If Lin Yiqing really wanted to rebel, would he care what the court would do with his son and daughter? ”

"Then what should the sixth master say about this?" Renxi sighed, "We are women's families, we are short-sighted, the sixth master will help our sisters come up with an idea." Anyway, you have to have a foolproof solution. ”

"Back to the Queen Mother's words, the minister thought that Lin Yiqing's children should be returned as soon as possible to calm his heart, as for the law of restraint, the minister thought that if the court does not live up to Lin Yiqing, Lin Yiqing will not live up to the court! If you are worried that it will be difficult to control, and then cultivate another person to contain it, the method of hostages is the way to take chaos, and it is absolutely not feasible! "Prince Jing said.

"What the sixth master means, I understand, it's just that in a hurry, the person who can contain Lin Yiqing now, I'm afraid there is no one yet, right?" Renxi and Rentai exchanged glances again and asked.

"The person who is restrained is urgent and hard to find, you can come slowly, you can always find it, and you must not hurt Lin Yiqing's heart at the moment, cause him to resent, and bury the root of the trouble!" Prince Jing said, "The minister is still the same sentence." If the imperial court does not regard it as Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao. It must not be Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao's business! The so-called monarch is virtuous. The king does not doubt the minister, the minister does not doubt the king, the employment is not suspicious, the suspicion is not needed, my dynasty has been established for 300 years, during which there are many brave generals, are they all restrained by the law of containment? How many of those who have never been restrained have committed rebellion? ”

"That's what the sixth master said. Our sisters were really confused this time. Renxi sighed, "Lin Yiqing thinks that he has already gone back at this time, Li Jintai, you will send someone to send Lin Yiqing's children back carefully, and the nipples selected for the children in the palace will also be handed over to Lin Yiqing for management." ”

"Yes!" Li Jintai responded respectfully and gave Wang Dehuan a few words, and Wang Dehuan hurriedly walked out.

Hearing Renxi's order, Prince Jing took a long breath, only to find that his forehead was covered with beads of sweat. He was about to take out a sweat towel to wipe it, but unexpectedly Renxi came to his side. The handkerchief gently stuck the beads of sweat on his forehead.

"Look at the sixth master, I'm in a hurry!" Renxi smiled.

"The sixth master is for the sake of our big country, so he will be in a hurry like this." Rentai also laughed, she looked at Prince Jing, and actually remembered the scene of Xin Younian's uncle and sister-in-law working together to deal with the regent Chengwei.

"The queen mother has an overreputation, and the ministers are only guilty of straightforward advice, and the rhetoric is fierce, and there are collisions, and the queen mother is also asked to punish her." Prince Jing said in panic, got up and knelt down, and kowtowed again and again, "The minister just doesn't want to be that Wei Zaode!" ”

"The sixth master laughed, how can Wei Zaode and other well-dressed beasts be compared with the sixth master? Isn't the sixth master cheapening himself? Renxi understood the meaning of Prince Jing's words, and stepped forward to help Prince Jing again.

Regarding Wei Zaode's story, the study textbook "Zhiping Baojian" she compiled for herself couldn't be clearer......

Wei Zaode is a native of Tongzhou, Shuntian, and was raised as a jinshi in the thirteenth year of Chongzheng. During the palace examination, Emperor Chongzheng thought of different talents, summoned 48 people to the Wenhua Palace, and asked: "Today's internal and external strife, why take revenge?" Wei Zaode was right with "shame", and he also recounted his achievements in guarding Tongzhou for eleven years. Emperor Chongzheng was very happy, so he was promoted to the first place and awarded the revision.

But later generations commented that this Wei Zaode was not only the last chief assistant of the Shu Dynasty, but also the most immoral and incompetent champion. The reason why he is so evaluated is because he is a despicable person and an incompetent official. However, he had excellent official fortune during the Chongzheng period: in the thirteenth year of Chongzheng, he was awarded the first prize, and in the fifteenth year of Chongzheng, he was promoted to the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites and a scholar of the East Pavilion University, and entered the cabinet auxiliary government, and in less than three years, he was suddenly promoted from the sixth grade to the third grade.

It is said that Wei Zaode has made no achievements as an official and has no academics, and his existence and promotion can only accelerate the collapse of the Shu Empire, so what did he rely on to prosper all the way to the official fortune?

The answer is that Wei Zaode has no other strengths, that is, he is good at rhetoric, has eloquence, and is well versed in Chongzheng's strategy, so he can always cater to Chongzheng's mind!

In fact, to say that he will cater to Chongzheng's mind is also to exalt him. For he panders only to what is good for himself, and turns a deaf ear to what is not good for himself. Like Chongzheng in the last years, when Li Hongji was approaching Beijing step by step, Chongzheng was anxious to raise military salaries and ordered officials to donate money to "help salaries". As a result, the matter of levying wages did not bear fruit, and finally it was hastily completed. In the seventeenth year of Chongzheng, when the diplomatic difficulties in Beijing, Wei Zaode was ordered to become the first assistant of the cabinet, when Li Hongji's soldiers came to the city, Chongzheng asked him what countermeasures, he had always been like a river, but he chose to keep silent, Chongzheng asked again, as long as you speak, I will immediately give the order, Wei Zaode still hung his head and did not answer...... Three days later, Beijing fell, Chongzheng hanged himself, and the Shu dynasty fell!

If Wei Zaode was just a scholar and did not know much about national affairs, and could only speculate and drill camps, it would be understandable that he was indecisive and unambitious, but his apostasy when Li Hongji became the emperor of Dasheng can show how inferior his quality is.

The capital fell, and a large number of people such as Fan Jingwen, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, died, but Wei Zaode, who was the last chief assistant of the Shu Dynasty, quickly surrendered to Li Hongji. However, he was not treated favorably with the peasant army. Li Hongji asked him why he didn't go to martyrdom, but this once "shameful" champion replied: "I am preparing to serve the new dynasty, how dare I die." Li Hongji's general Liu Zhongmin accused him of misleading the country as the first assistant, and Wei Zaode defended himself: "I was a scholar, I didn't know anything about political affairs at all, and I didn't know how to uphold righteousness, so I died in the country." "Liu Zhongmin, even if he is a big boss, when he heard his words, he was furious and said, you have become the prime minister in less than three years from a scholar to a champion, and Chongzheng is sorry for you. Thou hast slandered him in this way. Let's talk about it. ordered people to slap his mouth dozens of times.

Then. The peasant army also forced the ministers of the Shu Dynasty who surrendered to pay money, and Wei Zaode's cabinet ministers not only could not be exempted, but also stipulated that the payment should not be less than 100,000 gold. Under torture, Wei Zaode took out tens of thousands of taels of silver, but when he first proposed that the courtiers donate money, he was unwilling to pay for it.

The wicked must be dealt with ruthlessly. Although Wei Zaode took out tens of thousands of taels of silver under the coercion of being clamped and cut off ten fingers, Liu Zhongmin never believed that a cabinet chief assistant only had tens of thousands of taels of silver, so he continued to torture. It is said that Wei Zaode once shouted in prison that he had not served the Lord faithfully before, and until today, it is too late to regret it! After five days and five nights of torture, Wei Zaode died of brain splitting in prison, ending his shameful life!

"The Empress Dowager thinks she knows about Wei Zaode. This generation of villains, who refused to ask Emperor Shu for salaries, was to protect their own property, and they thought that as long as they took refuge in the new master. Treasures can still be passed down to the family, and the new dynasty still has their place. On weekdays, they make empty speeches. Misleading the country and the people, when the country is destroyed, he will wag his tail like a dog and beg for mercy to the new master, and his temperament is not as good as the singer of the Qinglou! In their hearts, there is only themselves, how can there be a court society? The so-called 'there are wicked people in the country, and each has suffered for decades', that is, this generation! Prince Jing Zhengse said, "Lin Yiqing came to see him today, and heard that some officials gathered at the station, insulted him, prevented him from getting off the train, and called him a thief who caused chaos in the country. I don't want the court to reuse talents and prosper foreign affairs! In the past year, Huang Shulan made an excerpt of 'please punish Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao', which harmed Lin Wenxiang's life. They tried in vain to put Lin Yiqing and death in this way, but fortunately, the saint was above, and he recognized his treacherous plot and punished him. This generation of villains, for their own selfishness, does not hesitate to take risks, harming people's lives, how poisonous their intentions are! The previous generation died at the hands of this generation, and now I am a great worker, and it is difficult to ensure that I will not be harmed by this generation! The Empress Dowager Shengming, today can calm Lin Yiqing's heart, he will be a powerful minister in the world, loyal and fierce general! After Prince Jing finished speaking, he kowtowed again and again.

"Sixth Master, please get up, thanks to the Sixth Master's reminder today, our sisters didn't make a big mistake." Renxi helped Prince Jing up, "Sixth Master, don't worry, our sisters will never do such short-sighted things in the future." ”

"The Queen Mother! The Queen Mother! ”
