"Your Majesty."

Cen Yin saluted the emperor, and before his words fell, Geng Hai had already rushed back violently, pointing at Cen Yin and angrily reprimanding: "Cen Yin, you and I have a discord, but one yard is one yard, you don't save a weak woman when you see death, it's still not a gentleman's style!" ”

Cen Yin smiled faintly and said, "Or say: 'Repay grievances with virtue, how so?' The son said, "How can you repay virtue?" ’”

Geng Hai was shocked by Cen Yin's shamelessness, and he wanted to argue with him, so he heard Geng Anhao remind in a low voice: "Father, it is imperative to hire a doctor for my sister first." ”

Geng Hai thought about it, endured it first, hugged his fists at the emperor and said, "Please also ask the emperor to proclaim that the imperial doctor will treat the little girl." ”

Although the emperor didn't like Geng Hai, he also had a little pity for the jade, and was about to speak, when Cen Yin grabbed in front of him: "Grandpa Guo, don't worry." ”

Cen Yin was still so light and light, his hands behind his back, he looked at Geng Hai and said, "There is one more thing I want to ask Grandpa Guo about this seat, that is, about the water in this Medicine Master Palace." ”

"Today's ritual Huangjue Temple inside and outside the guards are all in charge of the forbidden army, and the forbidden army is deployed by the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, now, the holy car is still in the Huangjue Temple, the ritual has not been completed, but the temple suddenly went to water, which is clearly caused by the forbidden army's lack of strict guards!" Cen Yinyi rebuked rhetorically.

When the emperor heard this, he narrowed his eyes, and felt that what Cen Yin said was very close to him.

Geng Haiqiang endured the anger in his heart, the corners of his lips pursed out razor-like lines, his face tightened, and said: "Governor Cen has not found out the ins and outs of the matter, you want to push the charges to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, it is too arbitrary." ”

"Grandpa Guo, the culprit of this 'arson' naturally needs to be investigated," Cen Yin said lightly, "But one yard is one yard, and it is always because the forbidden army is not strictly guarded that it gives people with a heart an opportunity to take advantage of, and after going to the water, the forbidden army is late...... If you count on the forbidden army for this matter today, I'm afraid this Medicine Master Hall will have burned down long ago! ”

Geng Hai frowned, listening to Cen Yin's tone, could it be that he was sure that this Medicine Master's Hall was not accidental, but someone deliberately set it on fire? …… Or did he deliberately make a big deal out of it in order to frame himself? But my daughter is unconscious now, and I can't ask her what happened.

Geng Hai was a little bottomless in his heart, but he couldn't show weakness to Cen Yin, and said coldly: "Master Cen Governor, have you ever heard a sentence, there is only a thousand days to be a thief, there is no thousand days to prevent thieves!" ”

The eyes of the two collided in mid-air, sparks flying.

The surrounding forbidden soldiers, chamberlains, and those who came to see the excitement were all silent, watching the development of the situation.

Many people are vaguely aware that Wei Guogong is afraid that he will fall behind again.

The corners of Cen Yin's mouth hooked a smile but not a smile, turned his head to look at the emperor, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, in less than a month, the forbidden army has failed to take responsibility one after another, and last time it couldn't protect the edict, and this time it can't even take care of the emperor's safety." ”

"The minister thinks that this patriotic public is derelict in his duty."

"Wei Guogong is not good at commanding the forbidden army, so it is better to hand over the right to transfer troops to the military department!"

Cen Yin's words were sonorous and powerful, and after the words fell, the surroundings fell into a dead silence for a moment, everyone had different thoughts, and many people sighed in their hearts: Cen Yin really dares to speak! Snatching away the right to transfer troops from Geng Hai is tantamount to cutting off a large piece of meat from Geng Hai's body, and for the Patriotic Mansion and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, this is a nerve-wracking affair.

The golden sunlight fell on Cen Yin's body through the gap in the sycamore leaves, but when the branches and leaves swayed with the wind, the spots of light swayed and jumped on him, shaking Geng Hai dizzy for a while.

This Cen Yin has a big breath! Geng Hai only felt a fire rushing to his head, the two sword eyebrows wrinkled together, and said sharply: "Cen Yin, you are just the eunuch of the celebrant eunuch, what is the duty of your celebrant eunuch, you don't need to teach you this princess!" You're too much! ”

Geng Hai's words were louder than one word, and every word was colder than one word, his subordinates didn't know how much blood they had seen, and when the thunder was furious, that bloodthirsty murderous aura burst out invisibly, and many people looked away.

Facing the murderous Geng Hai, Cen Yin was still calm.

"Our celebrant supervises what the emperor is in charge of, and it is up to the grandfather of the country to put his beak." Cen Yin said lightly, four or two thousand catties, "This world is the emperor's world." ”

The emperor listened to it very well in his heart, and felt that whether it was Cen Yin's proposal just now, or his current words, he was giving priority to himself, the emperor.

Hey, Ah Yin really doesn't have any selfishness, unlike Geng Hai, not like those noble ministers in the court......

This is a great opportunity.

The emperor's heart moved, his heart surged, but his face was silent, he shook his head and looked at Geng Haidao: "Geng Hai, I trust you so much, you really disappointed me!" ”

The emperor made a gesture of being let down by Geng Hai.

Geng Hai's eyes widened slightly, and he looked at the emperor, and the others probably also saw the emperor's choice, and secretly exchanged glances one by one, no one noticed that Cen Yin was looking at Geng Hai with a complicated gaze, there was a trace of ruthlessness in it, and it disappeared in a flash, and when he looked away at the emperor, it was a light and breezy look.

The emperor continued: "Huangjue Temple is in the water, and the forbidden army is to blame, if you don't give an explanation to the courtiers and the people of the world, I can't say it, and you will inevitably be criticized by the people of the world." ”

The emperor looked helpless, with a little sigh in his expression, as if to say that he was also thinking about the overall situation, and there must always be an expression.

"......" Geng Hai looked at the emperor's eyes to the extreme, staring at the emperor without blinking, and the meaning of the emperor's words was obvious.

Geng Hai was like being in an ice cellar, and he almost used all his strength to barely maintain his calmness.

The past flashed in front of his eyes like a marquee, making his eyes a little dazed, and something seemed to be churning wildly in the depths of his eyes.

During this time, the past of seventeen years ago often came to his mind.

It was he who first surrendered to Mu Jianming.

At that time......

Although he and Emperor Chongming are very good, in the eyes of outsiders, he is Emperor Chongming's companion, and the friendship between them is naturally not comparable to ordinary people, and the monarch and ministers are suitable, but he knows very well in his heart that compared to him, Emperor Chongming obviously values Xue Qiyuan more.

After all, Xue Qiyuan guards the northern border all the year round, and it is not as good as staying in the capital all the year round, he originally thought that the years are long, and one day, Emperor Chongming will understand that he is more useful than Xue Qiyuan, but at the end of the second year of Chongming, Xue Qiyuan came to Beijing to congratulate.

One day, he went to the imperial study to meet Emperor Chongming, but overheard Emperor Chongming and Xue Qiyuan mentioning that they would reform the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies......

At that time, he couldn't believe his ears, the so-called "reform" has always meant decentralization......

On that day, he did not alarm Emperor Chongming, and after he went back, he tossed and turned for several days and nights, and finally went to test Emperor Chongming.

As he guessed, Emperor Chongming wanted to cut the military power of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and wanted to cut flesh and bleed from his Patriotic Mansion......

Is it tolerable or intolerable?

After careful consideration, he decided to join the present Mu Jianming, who was only the king at that time.

He only made a slight temptation, and Mu Jianming responded to him, as he expected, Mu Jianming was ambitious......

Also, Mu Jianming almost ascended to the throne because of a "dictation" from the first emperor, he was once only one step away from that position, his ambition has been awakened, how can it be so easy to put it down, this is like a captive tiger, once it tastes human flesh and opens a meat ring, it will never be a domestic animal again!

At that time, Mu Jianming promised himself that if he could successfully ascend the throne, no one would be able to surpass him above the court, and one person would be above ten thousand!

Mu Jianming promised to share this great prosperity with him, and he would be handed over to him for martial arts......

The original promise is still vivid, however, things are not people.

Geng Hai looked at the emperor, who was only three feet away from him, and asked slowly: "Your Majesty, do you remember that you personally said to your ministers: 'Dasheng military power will always belong to the Geng family.'" ’”

A sentence was like a slap in the face of the emperor.

The emperor's face was extremely ugly.

This sentence was indeed said by him himself, and of course the emperor remembered, and even remembered on what occasion he made this promise that day.

What does Geng Hai mean?!

Is he accusing himself of dead rabbits and dogs?!

He chose to say this in public at this time, what kind of speculation would the ministers make after hearing it?!

The emperor's heart kept falling, clenched his teeth, and was extremely disappointed in Geng Hai.

At this time, Cen Yin's feminine voice sounded in the emperor's ears again: "Grandpa Guo is wrong. ”

The spring breeze is coming slowly, and the sun is still shining, but everyone around feels that the cold autumn is coming in advance, and it is cold.

Originally, I also guessed the Dharma of Huangjue Temple today, the emperor's mood is afraid that it will not be good, everyone just wants to pass smoothly today, things have developed to this point, many people have a kind of "guessed the beginning, but can not guess the end" sigh.

The trip to Huangjue Temple eventually turned into another power struggle between the emperor, Cen Yin and Geng Hai, and even this day may leave a strong mark in the history books.

Cen Yin didn't seem to feel the strange atmosphere around him at all, and continued calmly: "Of course, my Dasheng's military power belongs to the emperor, how can it be said that it is the Geng family!" ”

"Grandpa Guo, where did you put the royal family?!"

"Cen Yin, it's clearly your ......" this eunuch, "is playing right and wrong!" Geng Hai stared at Cen Yin with a vicious and hateful look for a moment.

Yes, if it weren't for Cen Yin's tricks, or if he and the emperor were a little disagreeable, why would he have come to this point.

Cen Yin looked at Geng Hai, smiled slightly, and did not avoid his gaze, "Grandpa Guo, this seat is just one thing to say." Right and wrong, the emperor has his own judgment. ”

Yes, everything still depends on the emperor. Geng Hai looked at the emperor again. No matter how much he talks with Cen Yin, the eunuch, it is just a battle of will, and in the final analysis, it still depends on what the emperor thinks.

The emperor was a little weak by Geng Hai's gaze, his fist loosened, and he shook it loosely, weighing the pros and cons.

It was not easy for him to catch Geng Hai's mistake, and he didn't know how long he would have to wait if he missed this opportunity.

The emperor's eyes changed several times, and finally he said righteously: "The matter of going to the water is a dereliction of duty by the forbidden army, and I want to give an explanation to the hundred officials, to the Huangjue Temple, and to the people of the world." Geng Hai, you can take the punishment yourself! ”

Geng Hai's heart was completely cold, and he was completely dead.

Oh, yes. He should have recognized the reality and the emperor a long time ago.

Geng Hai smiled, with emptiness and indifference in his eyes, gritted his teeth and clenched his fists at the emperor and said, "The minister's decree!" ”

After the three words fell, the atmosphere became even more eerie, and the surrounding sound and temperature seemed to be sucked away, surprisingly quiet and cold.

Geng Hai took out a red gold token from his arms, shook his hand, and threw it on the bluestone slab ground with a "pop".

The red gold carved token bounced slightly on the ground, and lay there quietly, reflecting a dazzling light in the sunlight, attracting a lot of complicated eyes around it.

Geng Hai didn't even glance at the token, as if what he had lost was just an insignificant thing.

Geng Hai casually arched his hand at the emperor and dropped a sentence: "Your Majesty, the minister will retire." ”

After finishing speaking, Geng Hai asked people to carry Geng Tinglian's stretcher, greeted Geng Anhao again, and left without looking back.

The emperor didn't look at Geng Hai and them, he half-lowered his eyes, his eyes were staring at the token that Geng Hai threw on the ground, his face was gloomy, and he regretted more and more that he had indulged Geng Hai too much over the years, so that he dared to treat himself with such an attitude!

The two went against each other, and the distance between them became farther and farther apart, until Geng Hai came out of the courtyard, and neither looked at each other again.

After Geng Hai turned the corner, he stopped. He still didn't look back, looking up at the blue sky and looking in the direction of the palace in front of him.

Sixteen years ago, on the ninth day of the ninth month of September, I still remember it vividly when I think back at this moment, the weapons were handed over, the corpses were all over the field, and the bloody scenes were as if they were yesterday.

The overlap of regimes is inevitably accompanied by blood, and it has been and still is......

Since the emperor is unkind and unjust, don't blame him!

Today's Dasheng Dynasty is no longer worthy of his allegiance...... Just like Cen Yin said, repay grievances with virtue, how to repay virtue!!

"Father......" Geng Anhao saw Geng Hai stop and called in a low voice.

Geng Hai didn't say anything, just continued to walk forward, this time, he didn't stop again, his back was so resolute.

Within the wall, the emperor still stood still, motionless.

Cen Yin made a gesture, and the chamberlain behind him immediately picked up the red gold token on the ground, wiped it carefully, and then presented it to Cen Yin.

Cen Yin pinched the token and walked to the emperor's side, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Your Majesty, do you want to send someone to keep an eye on it?" ”

"......" The emperor was reminded by Cen Yin, and his heart suddenly rose, and his mind naturally remembered that Geng Hai betrayed the imperial brother back then, and his eyes fell on the token in Cen Yin's hand.

Although Geng Hai has now handed over the power to mobilize the forbidden army, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies still has the power to command the world's soldiers and horses, and the Geng family has been in charge of the army for a long time.

If Geng Hai planned to rebel and raised his arms, the emperor was really not sure how many people would respond to the Geng family...... That's trouble.

The emperor subconsciously turned the jade wrench on his thumb, gritted the root of his teeth, and a look of hatred flashed across his face.

It's just that you can't strike first, so as not to fall into the notoriety of hiding all the birds...... As long as the emperor thought about it, he felt like a man's back, as if he had a guillotine on his head, and he didn't know when it would fall.

Fortunately, Ah Yin reminded himself.

The emperor nodded slightly at Cen Yin and motioned for him to do it with a look in his eyes.

Cen Yin bowed respectfully to the emperor, and while bowing his head, his thick and long eyelashes trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of coldness.

When he straightened up, the corners of his mouth pouted with a kind smile, and he persuaded softly: "Your Majesty, it's not time, the afternoon ritual should start soon, Your Majesty, do you want to have some fasting first, so as not to be tired later." ”

Cen Yin mentioned it, and the emperor was shocked to realize that he was hungry, thinking about what happened today, he actually didn't have much appetite, but he still decided to eat casually.

"Ah Yin, you go and get busy." The emperor smiled and left with a chamberlain and a few forbidden soldiers.

After sending off the holy car, the other people around also left one after another, and hurriedly ran to eat.

After a while, the area around the Medicine Master Hall became empty.

Cen Yin hurriedly went to the back temple, wanting to see the situation of Duanmujun, but halfway through, he suddenly stopped his feet.

On his right hand side is a piece of gold-inlaid jade bamboo, and at his feet is a bluestone path, and there is no one around but him.

The spring breeze blew the green gold-inlaid jade bamboo with a "rustling" sound, and the bamboo leaves and bamboo poles swayed with the wind.

"Rustling ......"

Cen Yin's long and narrow eyes rippled for a moment, and then they were calm and waveless, his eyes became extremely deep, and his thin lips were pursed...... Gradually, a faint smile came out of his thin lips, however, this smile was not pleasant, but made his whole person reveal a deep depression and sadness.

He froze there like petrified, and after a while, he raised his hand and brushed a few strands of hair that were messily covering his cheeks to the back of his neck, exposing his smooth forehead and face.

Cen Yin turned around and walked towards the direction of the Daxiong Treasure Hall with a determined expression.

The bright sun was getting hotter and hotter, and before the hour was halfway through, the afternoon ceremony began on time.

Duanmujun escaped death in the sea of fire, and the emperor specially granted her permission not to participate in the afternoon ceremony.

After Duanmufei settled Duanmujun, he still stayed by Anping's side as in the morning.

As soon as she saw Cen Yin, she deliberately stepped forward to thank her.

"Young Master Cen, today is really thanks to you for saving my sister." Duanmu Scarlet said, the delicate little face was rare and solemn, the big eyes were clear and clear, not stained with a trace of dust, "The imperial doctor has already shown my sister, she is fine." ”

"It's okay." Cen Yin smiled slightly, and his attitude was gentle.

Cen Yin had already inquired with the imperial doctor, Duanmujun was indeed fine, she was bold, she didn't know how many enemy siege crises she had experienced in the north, she was not frightened at all, she just cut off some burnt hair, there were a few small burns on her hands, and her throat was a little burned because of the thick smoke, and the imperial doctor prescribed her a prescription and asked her to take medicinal tea for a few days to treat her throat.

After Duanmu thanked him, thinking that Cen Yin was busy, he planned to go back to Anping first, and when he turned around, his eyes happened to meet Geng Anhui's eyes not far away.

Geng Anhao's lips moved, and he looked at Duanmu Fei with a complicated look, and the corners of his mouth tensed a little.

He wanted to ask Duanmu how Duanmu was doing, but he didn't come forward after all.

He and his father sent his sister to the nearest medical center, and after his sister woke up, she described her madness and crazy words, and then he knew that the fire in the Medicine Hall was set by his sister.

The father was furious and reprimanded his sister, who fainted again.

Looking at his burned sister, Geng Anhao was hateful and heartbroken.

The matter has come to this point, Duanmu Jun is afraid that he will hate their Geng family......

Duanmu Fei didn't seem to see Geng Anhui at all, and immediately returned to Anping and Feng Yan's side, and the afternoon ritual was about to begin, and they all stepped into the Daxiong Treasure Hall again.

The ministers and their families were also seated outside the palace.

The solemn sound of chanting Buddha and the sound of wooden fish echoed in the Daxiong Treasure Hall one after another, everything seemed to be no different from the morning, and it seemed to be completely different, just like the calm and waveless sea on the surface, and the dark tide was already raging below, and a storm was brewing little by little in the dark.

The air is heavier.

Under the instructions of the abbot, the people of the Daxiong Treasure Hall bowed, kowtowed, and offered incense......

When queuing up to offer incense, Duanmu Fei couldn't help but look at the emperor in front of him, his back still looked so tall, but there was a touch of haggard in the uprightness, and his handsome face seemed to be several years old all of a sudden.

In the following hour, the ritual proceeded in an orderly manner, and it was not until the halfway point of the application was that the ritual was successfully completed.

The hundreds of people inside and outside the hall breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that this day was such a long and torment, but fortunately it was finally over.

At this moment, thinking of the scene that happened in the Medicine Master Palace, everyone's hearts are more complicated, after today, the fall out between the emperor and Wei Guogong will definitely spread in Beijing, and what kind of storm will this set off in the court.

For these, Duanmu Scarlet didn't care, and after the ceremony, she said goodbye to Anping and Feng Yan, and returned to Duanmu Mansion with the people of the Duanmu family.

"Sister, your hair ......"

The two sisters sat in the same carriage, Duanmu Fei looked at the hair on her sister's head that was cut in pieces, and felt very distressed......

"When you return home, sister, you need to eat more black sesame seeds and He Shou Wu to make up your hair." Duanmu Fei said seriously.

Duanmu Jun was looking out of the carriage in a trance, and only came back to his senses when he heard the words.

She lowered the curtain, casually picked up a few strands of hair that were still a little curly and rough, and smiled disapprovingly: "It's okay, just go back and fix your hair, and it will be back in a few days." ”

In those years in the north, there were often worries about the soldiers coming to battle, and Duanmujun could often see the casualties of soldiers and civilians, compared to them, only some hair was lost, and Duanmujun didn't pay attention to it at all.

Duanmu Fei thought so, as long as her sister wasn't injured!

Duanmufei's attitude was quite peaceful, and when the sisters returned to Zhanqing Courtyard, they startled Mama Zhang and the maids.

Hearing that Duanmujun escaped death today, Mama Zhang recited Amitabha Buddha repeatedly, scolded Geng Tinglian several times, and said that fortunately she did not marry the Geng family, this kind of sister-in-law can't stand it, and then muttered that she had to recite the Tibetan Sutra for a few days and thank the Bodhisattva for blessing......

Even the little starling and the little fox came around to see the excitement, seeing Duanmujun's hair as if it had been gnawed by a dog, the two little guys rarely showed the same expression, looked at Duanmujun sympathetically for a while, one turned around and licked his white hair, and the other pecked his black feather with a sharp beak.

What a pity!

The little starling thought about it, and intimately went to the courtyard to pick up a few flowers and give them to Duanmu, and the little fox didn't know where to get a few loquat to send condolences to Duanmuqi, but she was very moved.

Zhanqing Courtyard was lively, and a little maid came panting and said that the Huang Yuan of the Tai Hospital brought five Tai Doctors to ask the eldest girl for a pulse.

The six imperial doctors and the medicine boy they brought looked at the momentum, and at once the left room was crowded, and it was a pulse diagnosis and a consultation, solemnly.

The result of the diagnosis is actually similar to that in the Huangjue Temple-

"The eldest girl inhaled some smoke from her mouth and nose, which caused some burns in her throat, and she might have to cough for a while."

"In the past few days, it is best for the girl to eat some mild liquid food, and the medicinal tea prescribed by Imperial Doctor Zhang has been drunk every day."

"The drug inhaled by the girl is not heavy, drink more water, sleep a little, and the residual medicinal properties will be completely dissolved."

"In two days, we'll show the girl again......"

Huang Yuanju carefully explained the results of the consultation, and was worried, he was sent by people from Dongchang, and he heard that the eldest sister of Cen Dushi was injured, so he didn't dare to be careless, so he specially brought five imperial doctors to come for consultation.

Fortunately, this Duanmu girl is really fine, and they can be considered to have an explanation when they go back to Lord Cen Governor.

------Off topic------

distressed Ah Yin......

emmm, today is the 1st, and the guaranteed monthly pass has arrived! Is it okay for me?
