394 days
The chamberlain in Tsing Yi caught up, "Grandpa Guo, please allow our family to go to Tongyu......"
The expressions of You Junji, Cheng Daxue, King Jinjun and others were all a little subtle, and Duanmuxian quickly withdrew his gaze, took the teacup, and drank the tea by himself, repeatedly silently thinking in his heart that it was none of his business.
Of course, Geng Hai also saw Cen Yin, and stopped three or four steps away from Cen Yin, and when the two of them collided with each other, sparks burst out.
The room was silent for a moment, and the main hall fell into a dead silence, and the others were silent.
Geng Hai looked at Cen Yin without blinking, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Cen Governor, get out of the way, my father wants to see the emperor." ”
Geng Hai also had an internal response in the palace, and he knew that the emperor was awake at the first time, and he also knew that the emperor announced that a cadre had entered the palace, but he did not announce himself.
Thinking of the matter of his own edict, Geng Hai felt that Cen Yin would definitely make trouble in front of the emperor and reverse black and white, so he hurried over.
Cen Yin still stood in place and said lightly: "Grandpa Guo, the emperor has not announced it." ”
The two of them did not back down from each other, and the third prince Mu Youjing frowned slightly when he saw this, his eyes flashed, and he hesitated a little, not knowing if he should step forward to be a peacemaker.
"What if my father must see the emperor!" Geng Hai took another step closer towards Cen Yin.
These two are big celebrities beside the emperor, and none of the ministers and several princes of the clan dare to stand in line and pretend to be dead collectively.
Drink tea, drink tea. Many people are looking at Duanmu Xian's horse and pretending to drink tea.
"Does Grandpa Guo know what is the difference between a monarch and a minister?" Cen Yin still didn't let go, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, revealing a point of leisure, two points of evil, and three points of superiority.
Geng Hai's face became even more ugly, and he said coldly: "I don't need Lord Cen to teach my father a lesson!" According to my father, it was you who were fake and powerful, deliberately blocking my father from seeing the emperor! ”
Cen Yin was still smiling, and the smile on his face was even stronger.
He was about to say something more when he heard the emperor's gloomy voice from the other side of the brocade curtain behind him: "Ah Yin, let him in." ”
The "he" in the emperor's mouth is, of course, Geng Hai.
The other people present also heard the emperor's words and silently exchanged glances with each other.
Cen Yin retreated sideways, Geng Hai glanced at him lightly, and continued to walk forward, and the little chamberlain in front hurriedly opened the curtain for Geng Hai.
As soon as Geng Hai entered the house, he felt a black shadow smashing towards him quickly.
He was a martial artist, agile, and with a slight side, the fist-sized thing passed by him, and with a "bang" slammed into the white marble ground behind him, the tea cup fell apart, and the tea splashed away, leaving a mess on the ground.
The two chamberlains serving in the dormitory both held their breath and bowed their heads.
The emperor, who was sitting by the window, saw that Geng Hai had avoided it, and his heart was even angrier, and his slightly pale face was full of green muscles.
The emperor wanted to wait for Cen Yin to verify before he came to investigate Geng Hai, but at this time, Geng Hai was so angry that his heart rushed to his head, burning him to the point of losing his mind.
He raised his hand and pointed at Geng Hai's nose and scolded angrily, "You still dare to come to see me?!" You have ill intentions, and you actually changed the edict without permission, I really don't want to cure your crimes?! ”
The emperor gritted his teeth and glared at Geng Hai, at this moment, he really had the heart to kill Geng Hai.
The emperor did not lower his voice at all when he said this, and of course the other people in the main hall also heard it, and the ministers lowered their heads and continued to drink tea silently.
Mu Youjing's heart jumped suddenly, Junyi's face was a little stiff, and at this moment, he began to regret it, regretting that he had chosen Geng Hai...... Could he have chosen the wrong one?! Will he be in too much of a hurry?!
Mu Youchang sat next to Mu Youjing, of course, he didn't miss Mu Youjing's subtle change in expression, he hooked his lips proudly, and thought gloatingly: He, the third emperor brother, is afraid that this time he will steal chickens and rice.
Mu Youchang leisurely picked up a pastel enamel teacup and said secretly: Good tea!
Of course, Cen Yin also heard it, and he walked in with his hands in his hand, and closed the door "considerately".
Geng Hai's eyebrows jumped, and he hurriedly bowed his head to the emperor and clenched his fists, and said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, the minister has definitely not tampered with the edict." ”
While speaking, Cen Yin walked unhurriedly to Geng Hai's side.
Geng Hai turned his head and glared at Cen Yin, his eyes were red with anger, his facial features were slightly distorted, and he said: "Your Majesty, it is Cen Yin who is reversing black and white, intending to frame the minister!" ”
It's really a gentleman's heart with a careful heart, Ah Yin didn't say anything about you! The emperor said in his heart, looking at Geng Hai expressionlessly, and the haze under his eyes became thicker.
At this moment, no matter what Geng Hai said, the emperor would not believe it, and he secretly hated it in his heart: no wonder Geng Hai tried his best to prevent the celebrant from meddling in the matter of his own edict, he was clearly trying to create an opportunity for himself to tamper with the edict!
Now the emperor carefully thought back to what happened this month, and realized that from those military generals who jointly wrote a letter to make an edict for themselves, and then those students made trouble, and then Geng Haihai jumped down and down to ask the Hanlin Academy to prepare an edict, and let himself personally seal it...... This step by step was carefully arranged by Geng Hai, just to get rid of the celebrant and supervisor.
Now that this guilty edict has been issued, not only the court, but also the entire capital, and even the entire Dasheng soon, know the content of this guilty edict, and he has really become a sinner who killed his brother and seized the throne!
Geng Hai wanted to make himself infamous, and wanted to force himself to abdicate to give way to "Xian", and then use the "Feng Girl" to put his Geng family's grandson on the throne, and the ultimate goal is probably to change the dynasty.
He wants to make this Mu clan country become his Geng clan's country!
Geng Hai, he is really poisonous.
The emperor's pupils shrank, and he regretted and blamed himself in his heart: Hey, I blame myself for being too tolerant of Geng Hai, Ah Yin obviously reminded himself that Geng Hai must have other intentions, but he didn't take it to heart, so he let Geng Hai, a traitor, take advantage of the loophole and let things develop to this point out of control!
"Geng Hai, I misjudged you, I didn't expect you to be so poisonous!" The emperor gritted his teeth and scolded, if the eyes could kill, now Geng Hai is afraid that he has been cut by the emperor with a thousand knives.
Geng Hai's eyebrows were deeply locked, and his heart sank little by little, and he didn't know what kind of Gu Cen Yin had given to the emperor, so that the emperor thought that he had tampered with the edict.
"Your Majesty, the minister really doesn't." Geng Hai once again refuted himself, "It's Cen Yin, it must be Cen Yin who tampered with the edict in order to frame the minister." ”
Geng Hai originally just said it casually to divert the emperor's spearhead, but the more he talked about it, the more he felt that this was the case.
Even if he doesn't have any evidence, judging from the current results, if he is implicated, the person who benefits is obviously Cen Yin!
I want to Lai Ayin again! The emperor was so angry that he laughed, and a sneer rolled out at the corner of his mouth, "Geng Hai, from the drafting of this edict to the use of the seal to the sending to the Taimiao to today's reading, the celebrant has never intervened, how do you say Ah Yin changed the edict?!" ”
"The Emperor Mingjian." Cen Yin said on the side, looking respectful and flattered.
Seeing the confrontation between the several of them, the attendants on the side were so frightened that they didn't dare to raise their heads at all, wishing that they were not here at the moment.
"......" Geng Hai choked, his throat was dry, as if he had been poured a bucket of cold water, and his heart was extremely cold. Indeed, the celebrant never interfered in the matter of his own edict!
At that time, he was happy that he had "suppressed" Cen Yin, but at this moment, he finally realized that this was probably a trap.
On the surface, Cen Yin retreated step by step, but in fact, all Cen Yin's concessions were for today's preparation, all for the emperor to turn the spearhead towards himself!
Cen Yin, it's so ruthless, it's so poisonous!
The other party quietly forced himself into this desperate situation step by step, behind him was the abyss, he could almost hear the whirring wind in his ears, as long as he took another half a step back, he would die without a place to be buried!
Geng Hai knelt down with a plop, looked at the emperor by the window, and said, "Your Majesty, you believe the minister, this matter is indeed not the minister's doing." ”
"Your Majesty, the ministers have always been loyal to you, and they have been like a day for more than ten years."
"Have you forgotten that you once told the minister, our monarchs and ministers are not brothers, but they are like brothers, so many years of friendship between monarchs and ministers, and ministers have always done their best for you, how can ministers harm the emperor!"
Geng Hai spoke impassionedly, guiding the emperor to reminisce about the past, and when he said the excitement, his eyes were shining, and he seemed to be very emotional.
On the one hand, he said this to remind the emperor of the original relationship between the monarch and the minister, and on the other hand, he was also euphemistically reminding the emperor that he had done a lot for the emperor and knew a lot of his secrets.
The emperor's eyes widened slightly, and he naturally heard the meaning of "threat" in Geng Hai's words.
Good for you, Geng Hai! The emperor slowly turned the jade wrench in his hand, scolding in his heart, but his face showed a look of emotion, as if he recalled the past.
The room was quiet, the needle drop could be heard, and Geng Hai's heart lifted up little by little, waiting with bated breath.
Cen Yin still stood quietly to the side, not saying anything, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
After a while, the emperor spoke again: "Okay, I will give you ten days to find out the truth. ”
Seeing that the emperor's attitude began to soften, Geng Hai breathed a sigh of relief slightly, but he didn't dare to relax, after all, Cen Yin was so despicable, so cautious, and scheming, where was it enough for ten days!
Geng Hai quickly pondered in his heart, hugged his fists at the emperor and said, "Please also ask the emperor to give the ministers a month to find out the truth." ”
The emperor also guessed that Geng Hai would bargain, raised his eyebrows, and agreed: "Then I will give you a month." He wanted to see what tricks Geng Hai could play.
Thinking about it, the emperor's eyes became even colder.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Geng Hai solemnly thanked the emperor, then stood up and looked at Cen Yin again.
Cen Yin smiled slightly, he looked at Geng Hai with such an indifferent expression, as if he was not looking at the dignified Duke of Weiguo, but a humble ant.
Geng Hai is the eldest son of the Duke of Xianwei, he was named the prince at the age of three, and he was knighted at the age of twenty-five, and he lived smoothly for half of his life, and no one has ever looked at him with such eyes.
Except for this Cen Yin.
Geng Hai's eyes were as gloomy as a owl, and he quickly withdrew his gaze and bowed away.
Geng Hai didn't even wait for the chamberlain to open the door for him, he opened the door and went out by himself, leaving a resolute back.
"Squeak."
The sound of the door opening immediately attracted the courtiers in the main hall who had pricked up their ears to listen, and they all withdrew their gazes, and one by one bowed their heads to drink tea, only to hear nothing.
Duanmuxian drank tea silently, his mind was empty, and he said in his heart: Good tea, this Biluochun is really good.
Geng Hai paused for a moment and looked around the hall, his eyes deep.
He knew that what happened in front of the Taimiao today would make these people even more in awe of Cen Yin, and seeing that they looked like they had nothing to do with themselves at the moment, lest they have anything to do with themselves, also proved his guess.
Hmph, a group of villains who tend to be inflammatory!
Geng Hai directly threw away without looking back.
Mu Youjing in the hall couldn't help but look at Geng Hai's back, and his elegant eyes changed brightly and secretly.
After Geng Hai left the Heart Cultivation Palace, he went straight out of the palace, then got on his horse and galloped away in the direction of the Weiguo Mansion.
He was restless, his mind was constantly thinking about what had happened recently, and countless clues were chaotically intertwined, making him confused for a while.
Even if he didn't pay special attention, along the way, he could hear the people on the side of the road talking about the edict of his own crimes, and words such as "Taimiao sacrifice", "killing his brother and seizing the throne", and "heaven and reason will not tolerate" floated into his ears from time to time.
This also made Geng Hai's heart heavier and heavier, and he knew that this matter was really big.
"Smack!"
Geng Hai slammed the whip, and the horses under his crotch galloped faster, galloping on the streets of the capital, and those ordinary passers-by saw it and avoided it.
Even if he didn't say anything, his whole body exuded a gloomy aura, and his eyes were filled with a thick haze, as if he was about to overflow.
"Gotta ......"
The increasingly messy sound of horses' hooves made Geng Hai's heart more and more irritable.
Without a stick of incense, Geng Hai arrived at the Weiguo Mansion, and Geng Anhao was already waiting at Yimen.
"Father, how's it going?"
Geng Anhao asked anxiously, seeing that his father's face was not good, he vaguely knew in his heart that his father's trip to the palace might not go well.
Geng Haili turned over and dismounted, and said in a deep voice: "I asked the emperor for a month to find out the truth. ”
Geng Anhao frowned, this result is not the best, but it is not bad. At least it proves that the emperor still has a trace of old affection for his father and the Geng family.
Geng Hai made a gesture to Geng Anhao, and the father and son walked in the direction of the study while talking: "Anhao, there is no doubt that the emperor's guilty edict has been tampered with, and everyone in the court knows that this edict is led by the father, and now that this has happened, the father can't leave the relationship." ”
Geng Hai said with a slight pace, Geng Anhao also stopped, and said, "Father, do you say that the person who tampered with the edict will be Cen Yin?" ”
As soon as Cen Yin was mentioned, Geng Anhao couldn't help but think of the way Cen Yin and Duanmu Jun talked and laughed on the shore of Dongying Lake that day. He narrowed his eyes, and a wave of anger was violently released.
"I doubt it too." Geng Hai sighed, his eyes darkened.
As long as they get rid of the Weiguo Mansion, Cen Yin will have no opponents in this court, and he can cover the sky with one hand and call for wind and rain.
This game of chess itself can be said to be a wrong step, a wrong step.
In order to suppress Cen Yin, he completely excluded the celebrant from the matter of his own edict, and only then did he end up in such a situation where he could not defend himself.
"It's a lot of trouble." Geng Hai walked forward with his hands in his hands, his eyebrows were deeply locked, and his heart seemed to be pressing against a mountain.
Cen Yin held the master of ceremonies and Dongchang in his hands, and the government and the opposition mostly acted on his face, even if he accidentally left any evidence, he would not let them find it easily.
They have to think about what to do!
While talking, the father and son arrived at the door of the study, and the maid hurriedly opened the curtain for herself and diligently poured tea and water.
Geng Hai waved his hand, and sent the maid away, only their father and son were left in the study, sitting by the window, the faint fragrance of tea filled the air, and from the window you could see the courtyard outside, the flowers and trees were swaying in the spring breeze, beautiful, but in Geng Hai's eyes, he only felt upset.
Geng Anhui half-lowered his eyes and took a sip of hot tea, as if he hesitated, and then proposed: "Father, it's better to cooperate with Duanmu Shousuke......
Geng Hai looked at Geng Anhao suddenly, his eyes were as sharp as an arrow, and he stabbed straight through.
Geng Anhui calmly looked at Geng Hai, and continued with a calm expression: "The celebrant eunuch, the cabinet, and the five military governors' mansions, these three have their own authority, and they have the power to shake the entire Dasheng in their hands, if the two of them can cooperate, if they want to suppress the celebrant eunuch, the chances of victory will be greater." ”
Geng Anhui said it reasonably, and he had words, but Geng Hai couldn't be clearer about his son's thoughts, and said bluntly: "Anhao, Duanmu Xian didn't take my Weiguo Mansion in his eyes, and his father has repeatedly released kindness to his Duanmu family, and bowed his head to him again and again......"
But what is it in exchange for is just the humiliation and ignorance of the Duanmu family again and again.
"An Hao, your little thoughts will stop." Geng Hai looked at his eldest son with some helplessness.
"Father, I am also thinking about our Geng family." Geng Anhui looked righteous and righteous, "Think about it, besides the Duanmu family, who else is enough to join forces with us to deal with Cen Yin?" Father, now that the situation is critical, you should let go of your previous prejudices. ”
"......" Geng Hai was silent.
He knew that half of his son's words were true, and half of them were for that Duanmujun, but what his son said was right, this court was either Cen Yin's fellow party, or they were afraid of Cen Yin like a tiger, and there were too few people who wanted to find a family that had enough strength to join forces with their Geng family against Cen Yin.
"Five Girls......"
There was a maid's voice outside the door, followed by a push on the door, and Geng Tinglian rushed in angrily.
She wore a willow-colored dark pattern gown today, very plain, only a piece of silk on her head, no jewelry except a jasper hairpin, and her right face was also bandaged with a circle of thick white gauze, at first glance, the description was a little embarrassing, a little terrifying.
As soon as Geng Hai saw the gauze on Geng Tinglian's face and recalled his daughter's miserable appearance that day, his expression was a little complicated, and he sighed faintly in his heart.
He asked in a soft voice, "Sister Lian, why are you here?" ”
Geng Tinglian's face was not very good-looking, she walked into the house quickly, she didn't care about saluting Geng Hai, she looked at Geng Anhao disapprovingly, frowned slightly, and said angrily: "Big brother, the pair of sisters of the Duanmu family have harmed me like this, why are you still obsessed, big brother?!" ”
Just now, Geng Tinglian also heard Geng Anhao's words outside the door, and she couldn't believe her ears, was her brother confused by that Duanmujun?!
"Big brother, Duanmujun ruined my face, which is equivalent to ruining my life, but he has no remorse, such a person, such a heart...... Even if you really marry her into the door, you will only have a restless house! ”
The more Geng listened to Lian, the more excited she became, the left side of her face without gauze was flushed, describing her madness, she really wanted to use a hammer to wake her up, the eldest brother who was fascinated by Duanmujun.
"Fifth sister, that's enough!" Geng Anhao frowned, his voice was slightly cold, he felt that his sister was really endless, and said in disgust, "You are embarrassed to accuse others!" If you hadn't been aggressive and insisted on provoking Miss Duanmu, you wouldn't have stolen chickens and made you fall off the horse instead of eating rice! ”
The Geng family and the Duanmu family will not fall into such an incompatible situation at this moment.
"You're to blame!" Geng Anhui said sharply, "You better go back to your own courtyard and introspect." ”
Geng Tinglian's eyes widened, and she felt as if she had been slapped in the face by her brother, and she was ashamed and angry.
Her brother was really tricked by Duanmu!
"Big brother," Geng Tinglian took another step closer to Geng Anhao, "I am your sister, I can't write two Geng characters in one stroke, and you are now the ...... Duanmujun in your heart."
Geng Tinglian still wanted to say, but Geng Anhui didn't want to listen to it anymore, he felt in his heart that Geng Tinglian couldn't get out of the horns at all.
"Come on, don't take the five girls down quickly!" Geng Anhao said loudly.
As soon as Geng Anhui called, two mothers-in-law with big shoulders and round waists came, and they took the order respectfully, and walked towards Geng Tinglian, one of the mothers-in-law laughed and said: "Fifth girl, please don't embarrass the slave maid." ”
"Father......" Geng Tinglian could only look at Geng Hai for help.
Geng Hai rubbed his eyebrows, and his head began to hurt when he was quarreled with by this pair of children.
He also felt in his heart that the incident of this fall from the horse was certainly wrong, but as his son said, it was his daughter who started the trouble first.
Now that the Geng family is facing an unprecedented crisis, Geng Hai didn't have the heart to pay attention to the intrigue of these daughters' families, and waved his hand and said, "Sister Lian, you go back first." ”
This sentence was heard in Geng Tinglian's ears, but it seemed that she was slapped in the face by her father again, and even her father helped Duanmujun and her eldest brother, and everyone didn't understand her......
What she did was obviously for the sake of her eldest brother, but she got such an ending......
Geng Tinglian fell into an ice cellar, feeling cold, looking at her father and brother in despair, and "invited" her away by her mother-in-law in a trance.
Geng Anhao glanced at his sister's dejected back, got up and closed the door of the study.
He turned around and wanted to say something to Geng Hai, but Geng Hai had already rushed ahead of him: "An Hao, you are a smart person, you should know that if the Geng family can't pass this level, I'm afraid it will cause trouble, and this matter cannot be lost...... Duanmu Xian, this old thing is a wall grass, and it is too risky to cooperate with him......"
Geng Anhui was a little anxious, and couldn't help but say: "But father, if Cen Yin and the Duanmu family join forces, we will have no chance of winning in this matter." ”
"Duanmu Xian was originally a villain, but Cen Yin's order was obeyed." Geng Hai frowned, his eyes were dark, and he couldn't help but think of Duanmu Xian's performance of not asking and doing nothing when he was in the Heart Cultivation Hall today, and his brows furrowed even tighter.
Duanmu Xian is also the head of the dignified cabinet, and he was so criticized by Cen Yin there, which simply lost the face of their civil ministers!
Geng Anhui said eagerly: "Father, Duanmu Xian is an old fox, on the premise of not having enough interests, he will not go against Cen Yin, but he will never risk being spurned by Shilin to stand with eunuchs like Cen Yin." ”
"Father, you also said that Duanmu Xian is the grass on the wall, and this grass on the wall will not really fall to either side, but if the two parties have in-laws, it will be different. Such relationships and interests are enough to make Duanmu Xian completely fall to Cen Yin. ”
Geng Anhao's voice became more and more solemn, his hands were clenched tightly into fists, the green tendons on the back of his hands were bulging, and he really wanted to kill Cen Yin in his heart.
"What in-laws?" Geng Hai was confused, as far as he knew, Cen Yin didn't have a single relative except his stepfather Cen Zhenxing, how could he become an in-law with the Duanmu family?!
Geng Anhao gritted his teeth and said: "Father, Cen Yin's eunuch has ill intentions towards Duanmu Girl, and Duanmu Xian is a person who puts interests first, if he proposes marriage to the Duanmu family and guarantees the support of the eldest prince to ascend the throne, with Cen Yin's current status, there is a chance that the two families will be able to form an in-law!" If Cen Yin really succeeds, then it will be too late! ”
Geng Hai was shocked, although it is common for eunuchs to marry wives in the palace, how can a girl from a good family marry a eunuch.
Will Duanmu Xian marry his granddaughter to Cen Yin?! Wouldn't you lose face?!
