Chapter 304: Death as Sauvignon Blanc

The current situation is unfavorable to Ning Zhiyuan, he must win back in the shortest possible time, and now the three armies still have a lot of dissatisfaction with Ning Chaoge, if he really waits until he cleans the three armies and covers the sky with one hand, he can only be meat on the board.

Outside the study in the afternoon, the sound of cicadas and insects is endless, even if he is disturbed by this sound Ning Zhiyuan has not closed the window, out of the stormy day, this window has never been closed, because from here at a glance, you can see the sky, the evening day is full of sunset, it seems that tomorrow is a sunny day.

Today he invited a distinguished guest, this distinguished guest who has never been so valued in the past although he has a special identity is now one of the targets to compete with Ning Chaoge, although he is absolutely subservient to the emperor, but he has shown his heart to him, his life, he has been pressed on this gamble, if he dies, just the two of them will be buried together!

After the death of Zhu Ge, the emperor gave him a thick burial, the funeral was hosted by Dongchang, and Jinyiwei was also temporarily taken over by Shu Ruhai, although the actual command was in the hands of Mr. Du, but Jinyiwei as the emperor's tongue, what orders did the emperor have, how could they not obey.

Shu Ruhai has been very busy in recent days, so busy that his feet don't touch the ground, Zhu Ge's funeral, the arrest of Shen Ke, the search for Yan Liu, and those things that are big or small, as long as they are related to the emperor, as long as the emperor explains that he will do it himself, he will use all his own to repay the emperor's trust and respect, but he is already dying of old age after all.

Even if Shu Ruhai behaves capable, he can't always get the status quo, Jinyi Wei has been out of the nest for so many days, but he hasn't even seen the shadow of Shen Ke, there are frequent murders in the city, not only Yan Liu is missing, but the case of the palace gate guard being killed is also unsolved, and a lot of things have been smashed down at the same time, even an iron man has to be smashed, not to mention Shu Ruhai, who has been holding on.

Shu Ruhai took advantage of the emperor's rest time to come to the appointment, and when he passed by Du Yiyi's mourning hall, he walked over very calmly, the people in the study had already left, and only Ning Zhiyuan was waiting for him.

Now the court and the three armies stand at a point of friction, whoever acts rashly may lead to an irreparable turmoil, Shu Ruhai is trying his best to maintain the balance of the two points, but he is just a eunuch is the most despised by the soldiers, the contradictions between the emperor and the three armies are accumulating day by day, how easy is it to eliminate?

Everyone is waiting for the emperor's order, and today King Rui set up a mourning hall for Du Yiyi, who died for sin, to force some people to stand in line, but this is far from enough for him, he dominates public opinion, but it is all empty.

He was trapped in a dilemma by his identity, the emperor was his father, he couldn't rebel, but waiting was just a death, the emperor's trust in Ning Chaoge now was to destroy his hope.

Fortunately, this hope is not expected by him alone, many people, many people who are not willing to be controlled by Ning Chaoge and are so silent have come out, Shu Ruhai has read these folds and knows the tough attitude of these people, and today, he received a secret report, when Jinyi Wei went out to arrest Shen Ke, this secret report was sent to him from Shuzhou in only two days, which shows that it is urgent.

There is already movement in Shuzhou. Ning Chang'an, the general of Zhenguo, led his troops to the court without a military order, obviously not because of the manpower shortage in the capital, but only because of Shen Ke.

What the emperor is most afraid of is such a thing, the emperor is too tired these days, Shu Ruhai received this letter, and he didn't know how to hide it from the ghost's self-made opinion, the emperor's body is very weak, the prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor has been increasing in the past few days, he watched the emperor sit on the throne with his own eyes, but he didn't want to watch him leave this position so quickly.

Such a temporary self-assertion is not a very serious matter in his opinion, because of the matter of the prince, Ning Chang has always been resentful, and it is not surprising to take advantage of Shen Ke's incident this time, it is still easy to solve such a small group of people, Zhu Ge is dead, he is the most capable person around the emperor, these things, Zhu Ge can solve them before, and he can solve them well.

Treating a dead person as a transcendent goal is somewhat boring and boring, Shu Ruhai thought carefully in his heart, and couldn't help but sneer at himself, once a person is old, he is really prone to gains and losses, and he has never been like this when he was young.

The spring breeze once gave birth to everything, and the spark of the stars could set the prairie on fire, and Shu Ruhai never thought that he couldn't bear to watch his master work for a while, and actually delayed the best time to subdue Shen Ke.

In the study, Ning Zhiyuan let his subordinates serve tea and closed the door, and started a conversation with Shu Ruhai, no one would think that this kind old eunuch is a really kind person, in fact, many people still remember the cruel things he did for his status when he was young and what he did after gaining the emperor's trust over the years, since there is a desire, since he has always satisfied his own desires, then there are still things in this world that can tempt him, based on Shu Ruhai's absolute trust in the emperor, There are very few things that tempt him.

There is one point, Ning Zhiyuan sees it very thoroughly, Zhu Ge and Shu Ruhai are both old men with strong wrists, how to teach and restrain their subordinates is the easiest thing for them, but it is the simplest thing, neither of them has done it, the conflict and hatred between Dongchang and Jinyiwei is not so much from the friction between the two parties, but from the friction between these two rulers, and now Zhu Ge is dead and Shuruhai is in charge of Dongchang Jinyiwei, is this the end of Shuruhai's desire?

"Father-in-law, I'll replace wine with tea, toast you!" Ning Zhiyuan raised the teacup, and Shu Ruhai respectfully held the wine glass with both hands, one pecked lightly, and the other drank carefully.

"My father-in-law is busy with affairs, so I am really flattered to be able to take time out to get together with me!" Ning Zhiyuan personally filled Shu Ruhai with wine, and Shu Ruhai respectfully thanked him.

"His Royal Highness King Rui has tormented the old slave, His Royal Highness King Rui summoned him, how dare the old slave not come!"

"Father-in-law Shu has been working hard recently, I will give my father-in-law a cup on behalf of my father!"

Shu Ruhai took a sip politely, frowned and grinned and smashed his mouth. "His Royal Highness King Rui invited the old slave to come, but it wasn't for drinking!"

"I invited my father-in-law to come today, just to catch up on the old days!" Ning Zhiyuan took a sip of tea.

"The emperor is still resting, Lao Ni doesn't have much time, I'm afraid he doesn't have time to catch up with His Royal Highness King Rui!" The book is like a sea of silent returns.

"It's inconvenient to reminisce about the past, let's make a long story short, now that the military power is in the hands of King Chao, I and King Chao are already incompatible, and the scholar is the only person who can compete with the Dongchang Jinyiwei, I don't know what the scholar thinks?"

Shu Ruhai smiled lightly, put down the wine glass and poured himself a glass: "The old slave is just the emperor's watchdog, how can he have any ideas, now that Shen Ke has not removed the army's unstable heart, His Royal Highness King Rui should also understand what the emperor means, at this time, it is best not to make a disturbance, otherwise this situation is not easy to clean up!" ”

"Dahe's situation is not optimistic now, I can't solve my father's worries and it's already uneasy, how can I do something difficult for him at this time, it's just that my father-in-law should know a few cases at the palace gate today!"

"What does this mean, Your Royal Highness?"

"There are frequent cases in the city, Master Yan is missing, the palace guards are assassinated, and other guards are arrested and taken to prison, if something really happens, who can guarantee the safety of my father? Father-in-law Shu's loyalty to his father can be seen by the sun and the moon, and it is a critical period, so Father-in-law Shu should also pay more attention. ”

"His Royal Highness King Rui is too worried, since the emperor has handed over the safety of the palace to the Governor's Mansion, the old slave believes in the emperor's judgment, but the old slave is puzzled, Princess Rui has died, why does His Royal Highness King Rui still have to deal with the emperor because of this?" The book is like a sea of wrinkles on his old face, and the powerlessness of this period of time to be satisfied with achievements makes him age faster.

Ning Zhiyuan pretended to be calm and looked out the window: "I don't think she is a sinner, she is not a sinner!" ”

"But the emperor has already cured her of her crimes, does His Royal Highness King Rui really want to associate with someone like Shen Ke?"

"Right and wrong, good and evil, right and wrong, don't need to teach this king to the father-in-law, even if Shen Ke is guilty, what crime should she be guilty of? This king and his father are father and son, and they will never do anything disobedient and unfilial, so the father-in-law doesn't have to worry too much! ”

Shu Ruhai's eyes flashed, and his heart became entangled, Yan Liu and Du Yiyi disappeared at the same time and their whereabouts are unknown, but this Rui Wang is deadlocked with the emperor because Du Yiyi is dead, even if the relationship between father and son is close, they can't withstand such a commotion, the most important thing at the moment is to find Yan Liu and the two! "His Royal Highness King Rui can think like this, the old slave can rest assured, the deceased has passed away, and the mourning is smooth, and the emperor is doing this for the good of His Highness!"

After the book was like a sea left, Ning Zhiyuan sat in the mourning hall for a long time, with thousands of words in his heart, but he could only block his throat and be speechless, he could hate his father, but Du Yiyi was no longer able to survive, bits and pieces were still in his heart, and the past was still in front of him, but everything had changed.

"Lord Wang......" Qinglan has been silently guarding him, when the ministers came to worship, she stood at the second gate and watched from afar, at this moment, she was a little envious of the person lying in this coffin, so that such a ruthless person can cry for her, Du Yiyi's life is much more chic and worthwhile than her, but even so, Du Yiyi is already just the name on the spirit card, and after a few days, she can only return to the loess and disappear into this world, and she is the only one who can accompany him in the end. The prince hasn't eaten for a day, I made white fungus lotus seed soup, the prince should eat a little! ”

Ning Zhiyuan shook his head and pushed Qing Lan's hand away.

"The prince doesn't eat or drink, how can the princess walk with peace of mind!" Qinglan put the bowl in his hand aside and said softly with relief.

"I just want to make her walk uneasy, I'm not dead, how can she die?" Ning Zhiyuan smiled, with a bit of sour sarcasm in his bitterness.

Qinglan's eyes twitched, and he didn't know how to respond to this sour laughter.

On the horizon, fireworks bloomed.

Fireworks light up the night and imprint the outline of the majestic imperial city.

Ning Zhiyuan turned his head in a daze, saw the fleeting fireworks in the air, and suddenly thought of the night she came to this world, and his eyes began to moisten unconsciously.

Qinglan looked at the sky, then at Ning Zhiyuan, and finally lowered his head and looked at the ground.
