514 torment
"Let Commander Wei come in?" Yuan Zhi said in a strange manner, "The imperial doctor has said that the emperor should not be angry easily, and he must recuperate." ”
"Your Majesty, Commander Wei ......" Wen Yongju wanted to say something without giving up.
"Get out!"
The more the emperor listened, the more impatient he became, and raised his voice to interrupt Wen Yongju.
Wen Yongju was furious when he saw Emperor Long Yan, so he had to shut up.
He didn't dare to say anything more, so he could only bow down and slowly withdraw from the imperial study.
Yuan Zhi hurriedly served tea to the emperor in person, and comforted: "The emperor is angry, for a woman of that background is not worth it." ”
Wen Yongju looked back at the emperor when he opened the curtain and went out, and he could only retreat, and the curtain completely isolated him in the imperial study.
Yuan Zhi quickly glanced at the falling door curtain, and the corners of his mouth drew a mocking arc at an angle that the emperor could not see.
He deliberately sighed and said: "Your Majesty, did you say that the weather has been too hot recently, so that this person is so panicked, Commander Wei impeached Shoufu for a while, and hindered the affairs of Dongchang for a while, this anger is really very ......big."
The emperor picked up the blue and white porcelain teacup, and slowly brushed away the tea leaves floating on the tea soup with the tea lid, again and again, his eyes were bright and dark.
Yes, Wei Yongxin has really jumped up and down during this time, endlessly!
Is this really just a coincidence?!
The emperor's heart seemed to have countless ants crawling and scratching, making him restless.
The Emperor suddenly stood up from behind the Imperial Desk and walked back and forth in the Imperial Study.
Wei Yongxin first asked his woman to obstruct the office of Dongchang, and then came to the palace to complain, so should he impeach Dongchang and Ah Yin next? !
Duanmu Xian is the first assistant of the cabinet, and Ah Yin is in charge of the celebrant supervisor, both of whom are related to the smooth operation of the court's political affairs, what is the purpose of Wei Yongxin targeting Duanmu Xian and Ah Yin so much? !
The Emperor suddenly stopped, turned his head to look out of the window, and at some point, the sky became a little overcast, and the sun was blocked behind layers of clouds.
The emperor looked at the northern sky in a daze, and the layers of clouds were dense and dark, as if thousands of troops were rushing towards this side......
The Emperor felt a breath press on his chest, and his pupils became deeper and more complex.
Obviously, the situation in the north is so dangerous now, Wei Yongxin still deliberately engages in these infighting in the court, is it because he has something to do with Beiyan? !
Thinking of this possibility, the emperor's face was so gloomy that it seemed to drip ink.
There was silence in the study.
"Tick, tick, tick......"
Raindrops the size of beans fell in the sky, at first just a few drops, and gradually, more and more densely, slamming on the eaves, on the leaves, on the walls, crackling, and the outside world soon became a hazy patch of water vapor.
It rained overnight, and the next morning, it was still drizzling.
The ministers braved the rain to enter the palace to participate in the early dynasty, and the moisture between the sideburns had not yet dried, when they heard a sudden thunder blow on the Jinluan Palace:
"Your Majesty, the ministers have their own music, and Cen Yin, the governor of the Dongchang Factory, is really a great crime!"
Wei Yongxin took the lead in the ranks, knelt down on one knee, and stated the various crimes of Dongchang with an angry expression.
The other officials were terrified.
What happened yesterday on Yijin Street has spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital in just one night.
Almost all the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty knew about it, and there were even some people who had been to Yijin Street by themselves or their families, and now they still remembered yesterday's events, and they were still shocked.
Hey, there are still some people who are still in the hands of Dongchang and haven't put them back!
What is Wei Yongxin doing now?!
Many courtiers quietly exchanged glances with each other, panicking in their hearts.
Especially the people who went to Yijin Street yesterday were very scared, for fear of being implicated by Wei Yongxin.
Those ministers were remorseful and afraid in their hearts, and some people secretly went to look at Cen Yin who was standing on the emperor's side, and the red unicorn robe looked more and more red against the background of the golden dragon chair, like the red blood.
Several courtiers swallowed with difficulty.
Originally, these days watched Wei Yongxin use the matter of the four Duanmu girls to impeach Duanmu Xian, but Cen Yin never came forward, they still wondered if Cen Yin was annoyed by the four Duanmu girls and wanted to clear up the relationship, but they didn't expect An Qianhu to dare to take someone to smash the Wei family's shop yesterday, and even sent the Wei family's Liu family back to the Peony Building, and directly confronted Wei Yongxin.
Cen Yin was obviously furious, Wei Yongxin actually refused to give in, and dared to impeach Cen Yin.
I don't know whether I live or die, I really don't know whether I live or die!
Wei Yongxin completely ignored the gazes of the others around him, glanced up at Cen Yin defiantly, and continued: "Please also ask the emperor to close the East Factory and punish the traitor Cen Yin!" ”
Wei Yongxin's voice was louder than the word, and it was loud and loud.
The emperor sat on the high dragon chair with a golden sword, his face expressionless, and his eyes were gloomy.
He was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and a crown of black yarn wings as before, but as long as he looked closely, he would find that the emperor had not slept well last night, and there was a deep green shadow under his eyes.
The emperor's right hand tightly grasped the armrest of the dragon chair carved with the dragon's head, and his lips pursed into a straight line.
The emperor remembered that Wei Yongxin came to see him yesterday, and also remembered his "speculation" yesterday......
He squinted and looked down at Wei Yongxin below, his gaze was fixed on him, his eyes were deep and cold, exuding a faint cold air.
Sure enough, Wei Yongxin really had ill intentions!
The emperor did not speak for a long time, and the silence spread silently, and the atmosphere was stiff.
At this moment, the emperor didn't speak, and the ministers didn't dare to take a breath, only Cen Yin stood aside leisurely, with a light and light wind, with a smile and indifference.
It was silent for too long, so long that Wei Yongxin also felt depressed, and couldn't help but raise his head to peek at the emperor above, and the corner of his eye caught a glimpse of the emperor's uncertain expression.
Wei Yongxin's heart sank suddenly, and he also thought of yesterday, yesterday he waited outside the imperial study for more than two hours, Wen Yongju said that the emperor would not see him, but he didn't believe it.
He insisted on waiting there, even when the rain was pouring down.
He thought that with the emperor's friendship with him, the emperor would definitely see him, but he was wrong......
The emperor didn't see him after all, he could only go back to the Wei Mansion lonely, he could only send someone to the Peony Tower to guard, that is, he couldn't take back Liu Rong for a while, and he couldn't let her suffer in the Peony Tower.
His Rong'er......
Thinking that Liu Rong might be being tortured by Dongchang and the old bustard in the Peony Building at the moment, Wei Yongxin felt heartache.
He was so disappointed in the emperor!
Wei Yongxin's eyes deepened, becoming deeper and more violent little by little, and there seemed to be a tsunami raging and churning in his heart.
What did Cen Yin's eunuch do for the emperor?!
I once threw my head and spilled blood for the emperor, what did I get in exchange?!
Wei Yongxin tried hard to suppress the resentment in his heart, raised his head, and his sharp and deep eyes shot straight at the emperor on the throne, and said again: "The emperor is 'wise and martial', such a traitor is not eliminated, and the justice of the world is difficult to appear, which is really an obstacle to the 'society of the country'." ”
The emperor's right hand grabbed the armrest of the dragon chair even harder, and his ears rang in his ears, when Wei Yongxin surrendered to him twenty years ago, he said to him: The prince is indecisive, and can only defend the territory and cannot open up the territory.
Wei Yongxin is threatening himself?!
He's so bold!
The gazes of the monarch and the ministers collided fiercely in mid-air, and sparks flew into each other.
Time seemed to stand still in this instant.
Cen Yin still stood calmly and leisurely, leaning sideways slightly, his chin raised, his narrow eyes were half-drooping, dark and fierce, with a kind of awe-inspiring look at the world.
This glance, the cold light is forested, if there is fine light.
This glance pierced Wei Yongxin's heart like a sharp arrow.
Is Cen Yin laughing at himself for not being self-sufficient?!
Vertical son dares!
Wei Yongxin watched Cen Yin's eyes burst out like volcanic magma, carrying the momentum of destroying the world and destroying the world.
The Emperor was also furious.
Wei Yongxin is trying to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes?!
"Smack!"
The emperor slapped his palm heavily on the armrest, and this sound was deafening, and the Jinluan Hall became quieter.
Emperor Huo Di stood up, leaving only two: "Retreat from the court", and then without looking at the ministers below, he brushed his sleeves and left.
The civil and military officials all bowed their heads and sent the emperor away, secretly relieved in their hearts.
The early dynasty is scattered.
But the civil and military officials were not in a hurry to leave, and they all surrounded Cen Yin one by one, with a smile on their eyebrows:
"Lord Cen has always been upright and acts in moderation, and the emperor must know it."
"Yes, Dongchang's visit to conspire against the evil and the evil is very beneficial to the imperial court!"
"The emperor has always trusted the overseer......"
Cen Yin's side, surrounded by a group of officials who were eager to show their loyalty, and Wei Yongxin, who was kneeling on one knee in the middle of the Jinluan Palace, was almost ignored, only a few cronies surrounded the party and hurriedly helped Wei Yongxin to get up.
They also knew that the situation was unfavorable to Wei Yongxin this time, and wanted to comfort them, but they saw Wei Yongxin raise his hand to signal them to silence.
Wei Yongxin's face sank like water, and he didn't look at Cen Yin, so he strode away.
Cen Yin, who was surrounded in the center of everyone, quickly glanced at Wei Yongxin's back, and an extremely complex emotion flashed in his eyes, which was fleeting.
Cen Yin's expression was faint, the corners of his lips seemed to be curled, he just looked at him, and there was a little chamberlain to drive the surrounding ministers to the side.
Cen Yin left the Jinluan Hall unhurriedly, leaving only a tall back, like an idle cloud and a wild crane, and like a sharp sword out of the sheath.
The civil and military officials who stayed behind looked at each other, and their hearts became more and more bottomless.
Is the Overseer annoyed that they didn't speak up for him?!
The ministers looked at Cen Yin's back again, and then they gathered around and discussed in a stumbling manner.
"The Overseer must be annoyed, what can I do now?" Someone asked worriedly, so worried that the wrinkles between the brows could almost kill mosquitoes.
A middle-aged minister muttered and proposed: "There is a way, it is not too late to make amends. It's better to try to make up for one or two than to do nothing, right? ”
"But the Overseer never had sand in his eyes......"
"Ahem, this way doesn't work, find another way. Don't forget the 'one'? Someone reminded me meaningfully.
Although they didn't say anything, everyone instantly showed a look of sudden realization, and they thought of a place.
Yes, yes, and "that one"!
As a result, Duanmu's house, which had been quiet for a few days, became lively again, ushering in waves of visitors, but because Duanmu Xian was impeached, Duanmu Mansion refused to see any guests, and everyone was stopped outside the house.
Rao is so, or can't stop the endless stream of visitors with the psychology of giving it a try, and the cars on the power street are coming and going, which is very lively.
Compared with the hustle and bustle outside the house, the house is very calm and peaceful, and you can live up and down as you want.
"Old lady, the right waiter of the Ministry of Finance is here." Chang Sui said respectfully to Duanmu Xian.
"Nope." Duanmu Xian waved his hand and impatiently sent away Changsui, thinking that he was really blind, didn't he see that he was playing chess with the four girls?
Duanmu Xian, who was holding the sunspot in his hand, looked at the chessboard dotted in front of him, frowning lightly and hesitating.
Chang Sui hurriedly responded, retreated, and said in his heart: It seems that the old lady has made up his mind, and it has only been half a day, up and down to the court, down to the fifth or sixth grade, up to the first and second grade officials, that is a wave of coming, all of them have been refuted by the old lady.
If anyone else comes, they will simply send them away.
However, after a cup of tea, Chang Sui still entered the outer study again.
"Old lady, Lord You asks to see you."
This time, Duanmu Xian finally gave Chang Sui an unexplained look, and then said, "Let him in." ”
Chang Sui is not surprised, after all, the old lady has always been good friends with Lord Shangshu You of the Ministry of Officials, and he can not give face to others, and he still has to take care of the face and friendship of Lord You.
After a while, You Junji came to this side under the guidance of Changsui, and the moment the curtain was opened, he heard a soft female voice from the study: "Grandfather, are you sure you want to go here?" ”
It's not ......
You Junji's ears moved, and when he heard it all at once, Tuan Tuan's round face was so smiling that his eyes narrowed into a slit.
"Four girls, then grandfather think about it......" Duanmuxian's voice sounded immediately.
You Junji walked into the house quickly and laughed, "Brother Duanmu, your chess is too stinky, how can there be any reason to go down with your granddaughter and regret the chess!" ”
Bypassing a screen of the Eight Immortals of the Rosewood Seat crossing the sea, You Junji saw the grandparents and grandchildren sitting by the window facing the chessboard.
The little girl with a double flat bun wore a pale pink lotus-patterned gown, sitting elegantly in front of the chessboard, slowly drinking tea.
Seeing that You Junji was coming, Duanmu Fei got up to greet him, and smiled and blessed, "Lord You." ”
Duanmu Xian still sat on the circle chair and didn't move, raised his eyebrows and said, "I play chess with my granddaughter, and I want you, an outsider, to meddle in my affairs." ”
Duanmuxian made no secret of the ostentation in his tone.
The corners of You Junji's mouth twitched, and he sighed in his heart why he didn't have such a smart and well-behaved granddaughter!
Thinking about Duanmufei's running around in order to raise money and food for the north, You Junji sighed in his heart, hey, I don't know what kind of incense Duanmuxian burned in his last life, so that he can have such a good granddaughter in this life.
You Junji sat down on the other side of the chessboard, and while holding his beard, he looked at the chess game in front of him and fell into a trance.
Although he didn't see the process of this game, he could imagine how fierce the battle was before the black and white from the result......
The big girl hurriedly served hot tea to You Junji, and changed new tea for Duanmuxian and Duanmufei.
Smelling the fragrance of tea, You Junji raised his head, looked at Duanmu Xian and asked seriously, "How many sons have you conceded?" ”
The corners of Duanmu Xian's mouth twitched, almost didn't pick up anyone, and finally compared four fingers.
You Junji looked at the chessboard again, and praised Duanmu Fei: "Girl, you are good at chess." ”
He sighed with envy: "Brother Duanmu, you will still enjoy the blessings, hide in the mansion every day to play chess and drink tea, you don't know what is going on outside." ”
Duanmuxian took back the sunspot that had just been "wrong", and was wondering where this sunspot would go better, and asked absentmindedly: "What's wrong?" ”
You Junji came here without returning to the house after just leaving the ministry, and hurriedly told all the farce that happened in the Jinluan Palace this morning.
Hearing that even Cen Yin and Dongchang were also impeached, Duanmu Xian accidentally slipped his hand, and the sunspot on his fingertips slipped off.
With a "snap", the sunspot fell to the ground, rolled out of the bones, and the big girl hurriedly picked it up.
Duanmu Xian and Duanmu Scarlet exchanged a strange look.
Regarding the things that happened in Jinxiufang yesterday, Duanmu Fei had already heard what Duanmu Xian said, and he was vaguely aware of what was happening at that time. At this moment, what You Junji said also verified her guess......
Hey, Wei Yongxin is really looking for death!
Feng Yan is worried that they can't find a good opportunity...... Ahem, I don't want to.
Duanmu Fei estimated that Duanmu Xian was not in the mood to play chess with her for a while, so his eyes moved to the window, the sun was hanging high in the afternoon, and the blue of the sky was particularly transparent and blue.
The courtyard outside the window was silent, only the wind blew through the branches, and the Duanmu Mansion was quiet and peaceful in the afternoon.
Duanmu Xian subconsciously touched the sunspot in the chess box, as if muttering to himself, and seemed to ask You Junji: "What does Wei Yongxin want to do?" ”
When the five fingers pluck the chess pieces, there is a crisp sound of the chess pieces colliding in the chess box.
"I heard that Wei Yongxin's concubine is still in the Peony Building." You Junji slowly brushed off the floating leaves on the tea soup with the tea lid, and said with a smile.
"......" The corners of Duanmu Xian's mouth twitched, and his expression was indescribable.
I have heard that Wei Yongxin loves his favorite concubine very much, and it is really true!
After You Junji took a sip of hot tea, he continued: "The emperor is in a very bad mood today, I'm afraid that the court may have to rest again in the next few days......
Anyway, there was no way to continue playing this chess, Duanmufei simply put away all the chess pieces on the chessboard, and then got up and said: "Grandfather, Master You, you two talk slowly, I won't bother." ”
She was blessed with a light body, and then she withdrew.
You Junji looked at Duanmu Fei reluctantly, and wanted to stop her and play a game of chess with him, but he still had something serious to talk to Duanmu Xian, so he could only watch the little girl leave with affection, thinking about simply taking the time to come here to play chess again the day after tomorrow.
Of course, there was also an ice basin in Duanmuxian's outer study, and as soon as Duanmu Fei went out, he felt a burst of hot air rushing towards his face.
If this were usual, Duanmu Fei would have already hid back in the house, but today is different.
Today, she made an appointment with Duanmujun to go to Xiangyun Lane, and after a cup of tea, the sisters rode out of the corner gate on the east side.
The marriage of Hanxing and Li Tingyou has been decided, and although Mrs. Li's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have not yet set a return date, they will return to Minzhou at any time, so the two families often come and go these days.
The scorching sun was high, and there were not many pedestrians on the street at the moment.
The sisters came and galloped a few streets, and after turning another street, a crow suddenly came from behind.
Wait a minute.
Duanmu pulled the horse rope meaningfully, this sound seemed to be a little familiar, and Duanmu Jun also slowed down the horse slightly.
"Quack!"
Soon, a dark shadow flew over their heads, only two or three feet above their heads.
Feipian is the most competitive, not admitting defeat and stepping on the hooves, "getting" sound, as if to say, it will definitely be able to catch up!
Duanmu Fei touched Feipian's neck soothingly, and said with a smile: "Don't worry." It'll be back soon. ”
"Quack!"
As if to verify Duanmufei's words, the blackbird, which had just flown to the front, quickly turned around and flew in the direction of the sisters.
"Really!"
The little starling happily swirled above the sisters, calling it "quack" for a while, "Meimei" for a while, and calling the words it knew again and again.
Even if Duanmu Fei doesn't look up, he can confirm that this stupid bird is his little starling.
It has been nearly a month since Xiaoba flew to Cen Yin last month, and Duanmu Fei almost "forgot" that there was still a bird at home.
"Hachi, you bad thing."
Duanmu muttered softly and stretched out his left arm.
The little starling screamed louder, folded his wings, and stopped steadily on Duanmufei's arm.
Duanmu Jun looked at the little starling and smiled, and a name came to mind.
Cen Yin.
Since the little starling is here, then Cen Yin ......
Duanmujun turned his head and looked in the direction where the little starling had flown from.
The sound of horses' hooves in the rear gradually became clear, and it could be seen that five or six feet away, a young man in a royal blue brocade robe rode a horse, his black hair like a crow's feather flying in the wind, and his whole body had a dazzling brilliance.
Catching up with her bright willow eyes, Cen Yin slowed down his horse, rode his horse to the position next to Duanmujun, hooked his lips and smiled, and judged the essence of his spirit.
"Master Cen ." Duanmujun also smiled, his smile was bright, brighter than the summer sun.
Duanmu Fei also came over to salute Cen Yin, and arched his hand with a smile.
"Are you two going to Xiangyun Lane?"
Cen Yin looked at the front and asked casually.
It's not surprising that Cen Yin can guess it, two more streets, and it will be Xiangyun Lane.
"yes." Duanmujun responded with a smile, "When the summer is the hottest, my grandmother and second aunt will return to Minzhou if they want to come." My sister and I want to take advantage of the fact that the two elders are still there to do more filial piety. ”
"Quack!"
The little starling was unwilling to be lonely and shouted twice on the side, as if he was agreeing.
Duanmu raised his hand and touched the top of the stupid bird's head, his lips were slightly curled, and his eyebrows and eyes were crooked.
As soon as this stupid bird came back, it was a lot more lively!
"Duanmu girl, fourth girl, I'll send you away." Cen smiled implicitly.
The three of them continued to ride their horses along the street, and the three of them walked in parallel with Duanmu as the center.
It's just that the speed has slowed down a lot.
"Gongzi Cen," Duanmujun originally wanted to find Cen Yin, but this time he met on the road, so he simply told him about it, "There are three newborn foals in my horse farm recently, all of whom are good horses with the blood of Hun horses. ”
"Young Master Cen, when the foal is half a year old, I'll let you send it to you, okay?"
Looking at Duanmujun's earnest eyes, Cen Yin's mind was blank, and he blurted out: "Okay." ”
When Duanmu Jun heard this, he smiled even more happily, and said: "Master Cen, don't think the foal is too small, this foal still has to be raised by himself, so that he can be a relative." Look at Feipiao! ”
Fei Pian seemed to know that she was being complimented, and hissed a few times, and her voice was extremely pleasant.
"Quack!"
The little starling screamed excitedly, and immediately suppressed Feipiao's voice.
This noisy stupid bird. Duanmu flicked his finger on its forehead.
"Bad, bad!"
The stupid bird was furious, jumped from Duanmu Fei's shoulder to between Feipiao's two ears, jumped, and angrily condemned Duanmu Fei.
Duanmu Jun glanced at the little starling with some shame, "Young Master Cen, the little starling has caused you a lot of trouble!" ”
It is conceivable that this stupid bird has been with Cen Yin for a month, and I am afraid that it has caused Cen Yin a lot of trouble.
Cen Yin was stunned, hooked his lips and smiled, "I like Xiaoba very much." His beautiful face became more and more dazzling.
He really likes Xiaoba, and after having this noisy starling, he has added a little color to his life.
Duanmu pursed his delicate red lips, only feeling that Cen Yin was saying kind words.
Of course, she knows what kind of virtue her own bird is...... Hey, she must choose a smart and obedient foal for Cen Yin.
Cen Yin seemed to see Duanmu Jun's thoughts, and his right hand was clenched into a fist, which was placed on his lips, and let out an almost inaudible chuckle.
------Off topic------
There's a bird again today, and someone should talk about me again......
Hachi's role in this book is to adjust the atmosphere, plot transitions, change perspectives and adjust the pace.
Anyway, I will still write it.
