As Emperor Jianning said, Wu Fengtian was a strategist, he sat on the post of a squire, and immediately held a banquet in the Wu Mansion to entertain the civil and military officials in the court. In fact, there is no lack of flattery, and the silver taels in the witch mansion flowed out like water.

Over a period of ten months, Wu Fengtian made it clear which of the officials above the fifth rank in the court were really beneficial to the court and which officials were just empty of their own appearances.

In the Qingxin Palace, Ye Tingfeng held the pamphlet sent in by Wu Fengtian and read it carefully, and raised his eyebrows at Emperor Jianning and praised, "Wanyan Zhe, how did Wu Fengtian do it?" There are hundreds of these officials, and they belong to different camps, how can they confide in him? ”

Emperor Jianning smiled disapprovingly and asked, "What is the Wu family's best at?" ”

Ye Tingfeng's smile condensed on his face, and after putting the booklet to the side, he asked, "Wu Fengtian used Gu on them?" Wan Yan Zhe, didn't you say that the Wu family can't use Gu casually? ”

"Those who achieve great things do not stick to small summaries." Emperor Jianning picked up the booklet and put it aside, and the warm smile on his face remained undiminished.

"This will cause controversy among civil and military officials." Ye Tingfeng frowned, and his expression was unrelenting.

"Can a minister mention this matter?" Emperor Jianning looked back at Ye Tingfeng and asked with a smile.

Ye Tingfeng pondered for a while, and shook his head at Emperor Jianning.

"That's it." Hugging Ye Tingfeng Yingying's waist, Emperor Jianning took the pamphlet, pointed to a name on it and said with a smile, "Mu'er, you see that this name is Deng Zhongsi, who joined the government in his twenties, and has been an official for 30 years, and is still an official in the fifth grade. Mukden wrote about him in the most conspicuous place, and it must be because he was talented......"

Hearing that Feng was dissatisfied with Emperor Jianning's diversion of the topic, he leaned over after sneering, and said after looking at Xu Xuan, "It must be that he won't be an official." Do you want to promote him? ”

If you want to be an official, you must be talented. If you want to be a good official, you must have official character and official morality, and have the people in your heart. If you want to be a big official, you must be able to be an official.

The said that he can be an official means that he will make friends with his staff, so that he is confused and understands in his heart. There are some things that can be managed, and some things that must rot in the stomach and be taken care of when you have the ability.

"Why not?" Emperor Jianning chuckled, "As long as he has talent and cares about the people of the community, he can be reused." ”

After a slight pause, Emperor Jianning smiled at Ye Tingfeng again, "Mu'er, I found two companions for Yu'er." ”

"Which son's son are they?" Ye Tingfeng raised his eyes and asked.

"One is Meng Zizong's grandson, seven years old this year, named Meng Xiuxian. The other is Lu Boyun's eldest son, five and a half years old this year, named Lu Jichen. Would you like to take a look first? ”

"No need." Ye Tingfeng shook his head.

Above the court, the ministers were headed by Meng Zizong, and the military generals were Lu Boyun. The two companions that Emperor Jianning chose for the prince were all considered for the crown prince in the future. Now that he's already finalized the candidate, it's right.

"Wan Yanzhe, is it too early to plan for Yu'er?" After listening to Feng sitting down, he looked at the excerpts, and suddenly asked Emperor Jianning.

The situation above the court is changing rapidly, and today's humerus minister may be a prisoner tomorrow. The crown prince is only four years old, and now he has planned a camp for him......

"Mu'er, come and see this." Emperor Jianning did not answer Ye Tingfeng's words, but pulled her in his arms, opened a fold, and said with a smile, "I received it in the early dynasty, Zhou Shiyang has broken through Tongcheng and arrested the leader of the rebels, Yu Chang and his subordinates. ”

Zhou Shiyang's 8,000 iron cavalry sealed the mountain in October, and Tongcheng had already run out of food and was in chaos, and the people who surrendered to the rebels in order to have food and clothing at the time of the catastrophe abandoned their troops and surrendered.

After Yu Chang ordered the people to slaughter two hundred mutinous people, there was a great chaos in Tongcheng.

It has been chaotic for three months, and Zhou Shiyang ordered the 8,000 iron cavalry to attack Tongcheng, and the remnants of Chang's army were defeated and taken down without a single soldier.

"It's just a pity for those poor people in Tongcheng." Ye Tingfeng sighed as he looked at the contents of the fold.

"That's the best outcome." Emperor Jianning said with a smile, "If there is a real war, it will not only be the people in Tongcheng who will suffer. ”

Ye Tingfeng nodded and stopped talking.

November 27 of the eighth year of Jianning, the fourth birthday of the prince. On top of the palace banquet, Meng Zizong and Lu Boyun respectively took a child to the palace banquet.

The next day, Meng Xiu was idle and Lu Jichen appeared in the Minghua Hall where the prince was studying.

After the crown prince's birthday, it was the Chinese New Year's Eve of the eighth year of Emperor Jianning.

After Chinese New Year's Eve, Emperor Jianning began to rectify the dynasty, promoting some people with both talents and virtues according to the names in Wu Fengtian's pamphlet, and demoting and removing some moths who held high positions but could not contribute to the imperial court.

As soon as such drastic moves came out, there was chaos in the court, and those family members who were usually powerful and blessed were in danger.

Yu Cheng, Prime Minister Yu Lang, was the one who reacted the most.

Since the power of the Xie and Liu families weakened, he successively installed his own protégés in the court, won over the powerful ministers, and formed a party to win personal gains.

Among the nine dismissals of Emperor Jianning within half a month, four of them were his subordinates.

On the twenty-sixth day of the first month of the ninth year of Jianning, Emperor Jianning's Gu poison attacked again.

Ye Tingfeng was sitting beside Emperor Jianning at that time, and saw Emperor Jianning spit dark black blood from his mouth, and then his face turned pale.

With the experience of a year ago, after listening to Feng's panic, he ordered Lu Shi Ning Shi to help Emperor Jianning and a few people to help Emperor Jianning to the dormitory, and instructed them to prepare items to keep warm and cool down.

Wu Yang has never returned, Wu Yue is nowhere to be found, and no one can solve Emperor Jianning's Gu poison. In addition to helping him cool down when his body temperature rises, and helping him keep warm when his body temperature drops, Ye Tingfeng can't think of any other way.

On the twenty-eighth day of the first month of the ninth year of Jianning, Prime Minister Zuo Yu Lang folded a bullet to impeach Wu Fengtian.

On the excerpt, Wu Fengtian was charged with three major crimes: forming a party for personal gain, accepting bribes, and buying and selling.

Ye Tingfeng looked stunned after reading the excerpt, and after putting the excerpt to the side, he recruited Wu Fengtian into the palace.

What Yu Lang said on the excerpt, I didn't believe any of it when I heard Feng at night. Since Yu Lang was able to impeach Emperor Jianning when he was seriously ill, he had made certain preparations.

This is just a signal.

Wu Fengtian closed his eyes and meditated after reading the excerpt, and after a long time, he smiled kindly and said, "The emperor has forced this old fox to be anxious, and he will not accept it." ”

"How dare he?!" Listening to Feng's question back at night, the slender hand on the dragon case clenched tightly.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Wen Boan returned to Beijing. Because of his meritorious service in the reconstruction of Zhangcheng and the encirclement and suppression of the rebels, Emperor Jianning made him a general, holding the power of 20,000 troops in his hands.

But there are more than 100,000 guards in the capital, how could Yu Lang make such a move of hitting a stone with an egg?

"He dares! But he won't be reckless. Mo Mei, you take care of the emperor, and I'll do the rest. ”

Putting the fold on the dragon case, Wu Fengtian, who was dressed in white, floated like the wind and drifted away like the wind.

Ye Tingfeng returned to the dormitory and put his right hand on Emperor Jianning's left wrist to feel his chaotic pulse.

She asked Emperor Jianning more than once what kind of Gu he was, and why Wu Yang couldn't be cured in a few years. Every time, Emperor Jianning smiled softly and diverted the topic.

After sighing secretly, Ye Tingfeng leaned on Emperor Jianning's side, picked up the fold and looked at it.

The last time Emperor Jianning was poisoned, Ye Tingfeng was full of helplessness, and he felt panicked and busy in the face of the front harem. At this time, she was already able to take on most of the state affairs of the former court, and her whole person became stable.

On the twenty-ninth day of the first month of the ninth year of Jianning, Yu Lang died violently in the mansion.

The dignified prime minister died violently in his own house, which was a regrettable thing. But Yu Lang's violent death made the hundreds of officials in the court and the central government show a three-point smile on their faces when they mentioned it.

Just because Yu Lang was the prime minister, he died in the room.

Stayed overnight with the three daughters, and when the maid went to call the door the next day, Yu Lang Yu Prime Minister had already driven the crane fairy.

The three beautiful concubines were tightly wrapped around Lang's body, and they did not have the slightest sense that the person in their arms was dead.

On the afternoon of the day when Yu Lang died violently, Zhen Xiuyuan came to the Qingxin Palace to ask to see Ye Tingfeng, followed by the second prince who had been imprisoned for half a year.

The second prince was only three and a half years old, hiding behind Zhen Xiuyuan, looking at Ye Tingfeng with a timid expression, with a sincere and frightened expression on his face.

Coming to the inner hall, Zhen Xiuyuan bowed down to Fengfu at night, and smiled softly, "Queen Mother, the concubine has lived up to her mission and has come to restore her life." ”

Listening to Feng Wan'er laughing at night, he ordered Ning Shi Ningxiao to take the second prince out, leaving only Zhiliu by his side.

Since Wu Fengtian said that Yu Lang would not act recklessly, Ye Tingfeng fell his gaze on the harem after deep thought. At present, there are two princes in the harem except for the crown prince, and if Yu Lang wants to rebel and support a young emperor to ascend the throne, he can only set his eyes on the second prince.

She didn't know if her guess was correct, but she still let Zhen Xiuyuan investigate in secret, but she didn't think it was really effective.

Zhen Xiuyuan didn't go around in circles, and told Wen Zhaorong how to buy off the caretaker palace maid in the Izumo Pavilion and take the second prince to live in her own palace.

Finally, he took out a small red bottle from his sleeve, put it on the small table on the side, and said, "This is from Wen Zhaorong's palace, and the human and material evidence are all there." ”

Ye Tingfeng picked up the little red bottle, opened it and took a closer look, and determined that the white odorless powder inside was highly toxic.

"What a good thing." Ye Tingfeng raised his eyes and looked at the door of the dormitory, and whispered to Zhiliu, "Pass Lu Zhi in." ”

Zhiliu Fu went out, and brought Lu Shi in for a while.

Lu Zhi came to Ye Tingfeng's side, and said after asking for peace, "The queen mother, please command." ”

"Wen Zhaorong suddenly fell ill and died of illness on the first day of February." After giving the little red bottle in his hand to Lu Shi, he listened to Feng's quiet words at night, "This palace is sad in my heart, so I won't send Wen Zhaorong." ”

Ye Tingfeng can tolerate Wen Zhaorong to be powerful in the harem on weekdays, and does not take her in his eyes. But Wen Zhaorong couldn't hit Emperor Jianning and the crown prince with his thoughts.

It was her husband, her son, and she didn't allow anyone to hurt them in the slightest.

Zhen Xiuyuan stood up and said goodbye to Feng Fushen at night, "Since the queen mother doesn't have time to send Wen Zhaorong, then the concubine will go." has been with Wen Zhaorong for eight years, and the concubine has too much to say to her. ”

Ye Tingfeng chuckled lightly, and raised his eyes, "Zhen Xiuyuan, this time is different from the past, it's time for you to talk to them." ”

When Jianning was eight years old, it only took three days for Emperor Jianning's Gu poison attack to be completely cured, but this time it took seven days.

After Emperor Jianning recovered, the first thing he dealt with was the premeditated rebellion of the Yu family led by Yu Lang.

On the fifth day of the second month of the ninth year of Jianning, Wu Fengtian entered the palace and told Emperor Jianning everything he had found out without reservation.

The reason why Yu Lang dared to be so bold was because in addition to Yu Lang's own forces, the Wen family, the Qin family, the maiden family of the former Empress Qin, had all joined his camp, and the funny thing was that there was even an family.

The combined power of these four henchmen can indeed compete with the prince's party.

It's a pity that Yu Lang's death made these people timid. Wen Zhaorong died again, and they had lost all opportunities.

After listening to Wu Fengtian's narration, Emperor Jianning curled his thin lips and smiled, "Fengtian, what kind of Gu did you play?" ”

"Charming Gu." Wu Fengtian smiled while drinking tea, "Prime Minister Yu has been an official for decades, and it is hard work without merit, so I won't let him go." Just happy ......"

"Very good...... Emperor Jianning narrowed his eyes lightly, took a deep breath, and said, "Use Gu, you can put it away freely, and those who follow and advocate will die, which can save a lot of time." ”

Wu Fengtian's hand holding the teacup paused slightly, and after a while, he brought the cool teacup to his lips and drank the warm tea juice calmly.

Out of February of the ninth year of Jianning, it is the birthday of Ye Tingfeng.

Since it is Daqing, the harem is really lively.

At this time, Zhen Xiuyuan has become a well-known figure in the harem, and gradually has the tendency to stand shoulder to shoulder with Mrs. Miao, and has a lot of prestige in the heart of the concubine.

On the main seat, Emperor Jianning looked at Zhen Xiuyuan, who was weak and arrogant, and chuckled at Ye Tingfeng, "Your vision is good, she really shocked the harem." It's just that you're not afraid that after her foundation is solid, ......"

"I gave her what she wanted, and she naturally wanted to give me what I wanted......" Ye Tingfeng smiled at Emperor Jianning, "You haven't given me what I want yet." ”

Emperor Jianning raised his eyebrows and was dumbfounded.

Ye Tingfeng has always wanted a daughter, but he has never been able to get his wish. She asked Wu Fengtian to check her pulse and make sure there was nothing wrong with her body.

Emperor Jianning will not have a problem, otherwise there will not be so many princes and princesses in the palace.

The two of them also have a lot of sexual affairs, and in the past two years, Emperor Jianning has rarely gone to the palace of his concubines, and Ye Tingfeng has gradually become a sole favor.

"Xu is ......" Emperor Jianning thought for a long time and said with a smile, "Xu is that I haven't worked hard enough, make up for it tonight ......"

Ye Tingfeng's face turned red and he was silent. was originally used to tease Emperor Jianning, but she didn't want to tease herself.

After listening to Feng's birthday at night, the Wanshou Festival followed, and the palaces of the previous dynasty were all celebrated, and it was lively for more than three days.

Taking advantage of this festive opportunity, the right prime minister Meng Zizong proposed a general election, and selected talented and beautiful daughters from the family to fill the harem and extend the heirs for the royal family.

Now in the harem, several concubines from families are imprisoned, sick and dying, and the demotion of the demotion can no longer play a role in balancing the previous dynasty.

"Wan Yan Zhe," Ye Tingfeng leaned on Emperor Jianning's arms, looked at Meng Zizong's excerpt and said with a smile, "What Prime Minister Meng Cheng said is not unreasonable, although there are many sisters in the harem right now, there may be few who can get into your eyes." How about it, do you want me to help you choose a few beauties with both talent and appearance and virtue to enter the palace? ”

Emperor Jianning's answer was to take the pen of Luo Zhu Pi and put it on Ye Tingfeng's white forehead, and said with a smile, "Then you have to have three points of beauty, otherwise how can you get into my eyes?" ”

"Yun Ronghua!" Listening to Feng at night, he raised his eyebrows, and said after thinking carefully, "What other lady's ......?"

"Let's put this thing aside for a while, and you can come and see this excerpt." Emperor Jianning took Ye Tingfeng into his arms and rested his chin on Ye Tingfeng's shoulder.

"Don't look at it, don't look at it......" Ye Tingfeng covered his white jade hands on his eyes, and said coquettishly, "Except for looking at the excerpts, I haven't gone out to play for a long time......"

I don't know when she came to the Qingxin Palace to see the excerpts became a serious matter, and she no longer had the leisure time to go around the harem.

"What do you want to play?" Emperor Jianning put the fold into one side and lowered his head and asked.

Ye Tingfeng peeked at Emperor Jianning from between his fingers, and asked with a smile, "Do you have time to hang out with me?" ”

"Yes, you can see the folds that have been pressed down anyway." Emperor Jianning hugged Ye Tingfeng and said with a smile, "Let Ning Shi Ning Shi give you a bun, and we will go out ......."

As soon as the matter of the general election was pressed, it was pressed to the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Meng Zizong mentioned it again, and was supported by Emperor Jianning in the eleventh year of Jianning.

At this time, both the former dynasty and the harem have been close to stability.

In the harem, Zhen Xiuyuan joined forces with Le Chongrong, and the two crushed Mrs. Miao, who had the Lu family as a backer outside the court, and fell into a situation of mutual checks and balances.

In the previous dynasty, Emperor Jianning successively deposed some corrupt officials, promoted some talented and virtuous people, and tightly surrounded some humerus ministers on the prince's side, which was the time of stability.

After September of the ninth year of Jianning, Emperor Jianning, who had been busy, finally stopped and no longer spent all day with excerpts

In his spare time, he would sneak out of the palace with Ye Tingfeng, to Wu Fengtian's mansion, to the original Jin Wang's mansion......

Ye Tingfeng followed behind Emperor Jianning, playing happily, like a child.

November 27 of the ninth year of Jianning, the fifth birthday of the prince.

After the crown prince's birthday, Emperor Jianning took Ye Tingfeng to sneak out of the palace less and less. More time is to sit in the Qingxin Hall with Ye Tingfeng, even if you don't look at the excerpts, it is also relatively a whole day.

One day, when he heard that Feng was embarrassed by Emperor Jianning, he stretched out his hand to cover Emperor Jianning's eyes, and said coquettishly, "Don't look at it." ”

Emperor Jianning chuckled, and didn't take away Ye Tingfeng's hand, but only asked, "Mu'er, what do you want for this New Year?" ”

"I want to ......" Ye Tingfeng bit his lip and couldn't think of anything for a long time.

She is in the harem, she is dressed and fed on weekdays, the golden hairpin is shaking, and Emperor Jianning has everything she wants, so she really can't think of anything to ask for.

Emperor Jianning stretched out his hand to caress Shangye Tingfeng's face, touched her small ears, touched her thin willow eyebrows, touched her pretty nose, and touched her cherry red lips......

Listening to Feng Ying's mouth at night, he put Emperor Jianning's finger between his teeth to prevent Emperor Jianning from touching it again.

"Haven't figured out what you want?" Emperor Jianning asked.

"For a lifetime, after Yan Zhe, I will marry you four times." Listening to Feng Song's mouth, he said with a smile, "I want it all my life." ”
