Chapter 244: Dismissal
Chapter 244: Dismissal
The Shen Mansion in the afternoon is the most tranquil moment, especially today, the people walk lightly for fear of making a movement, and the future of Shen Ke has been guessed countless times in the mouths of others, and what they are most sure of is a result.
Du Yiyi and Lu Xiangxue walked through the corridor of the west wing and heard the gossip of the subordinates.
The two changed direction, no longer heading to the quiet backyard to the bustling street.
Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his face did not change, Lu Xiangxue wanted to let the people in the capital see the attitude of the Shen family.
This is the second time they have come to Long Street.
Even if Shen Ke is no longer the general in charge of Dahe's military power, they are still the focus of the crowd on the street, the people of Dahe are proud and enthusiastic, seeing Lu Xiangxue and Du Yiyi coming to shop, many bold people stepped forward to ask Shen Ke's situation.
Many people were upset for Shen Ke, and Lu Xiangxue expressed her gratitude to these indignant and righteous people, and then browsed all the shops she used to visit.
"The eyes of the people of the world are bright!"
I visited more than a dozen shops, but Lu Xiangxue didn't have anything in her hand, and she didn't want to buy anything today.
Du Yiyi didn't dare to have such confidence, and looked at the people who were smiling and nodding with the two of them like flowing water, but they were still friendly with the two of them, these people knew them, but they didn't know them, these people were the source of Dahe's soldiers, I don't know how many people's sons who walked on the street are now in the barracks, their sons trust Shen Ke, they trust Shen Ke, this force, if he is the emperor, he will be afraid, not to mention, Shen Ke still has that identity.
"What if the emperor can't tolerate Shen Ke?"
She asked a silly question, because the answer in her mind made her panic, and she wanted to get the person who trusted Shen Ke the most to give her a good answer.
"The people of the world are watching, and the emperor's hands and feet will only chill his people's hearts." Lu Xiangxue replied in the affirmative.
"Sister-in-law, do you remember An Guogong back then?" Du Yiyi asked tentatively.
Lu Xiangxue was stunned and said with a wry smile: "The tragedy will not happen again, it has been eleven years, they are different!" ”
Du Yiyi looked at Lu Xiangxue's bitter lips in a daze, and the turbulent waves in her heart instantly turned into a pouring rain, and the heavy rain hit her heart, making her tremble a little.
It turned out that she already knew.
"Sister-in-law is right, they are different!"
"No matter what happens in the future, I will stand on my husband's side, Yiyi, you are his relative, but you are also the daughter-in-law of the Ning family, Yiyi, sister-in-law wants to know what you think!"
Lu Yi'an has resigned, although the connections are still there, but the appeal is no longer what it used to be, Shen Ke's majesty is in the army, if there is really a day when the king wants his ministers to die, except for not dying, then there is only one way.
Lu Xiangxue looked at Du Yiyi, waiting for her answer.
"If there is a day, I will no longer be the daughter-in-law of the Ning family! But I believe that this day will not come! ”
She owes Du Yiyi a life, and all Du Yiyi's eyes are on Shen Ke, whether it is for her own heartbeat or for Du Yiyi's heroic jump, she must stand on the same line as Shen Ke, but she believes that the situation will not evolve to that extent.
"Yiyi!" Lu Xiangxue held her hands with tears in her eyes and trembling lips, she always understood Du Yiyi's feelings for Shen Ke, so when Shen Ke was in danger, she was willing to walk with this person she didn't want to see before, because she knew that the two of them were the people who wanted Shen Ke to be safe in the world, and Du Yiyi was the only one who could say these words to her.
No matter who Shen Ke's true identity is, whether he is a hero or a thief, whether he is a general or an ordinary person who is a powerful general, their position will not waver.
At this moment, Lu Xiangxue felt that she had seen Du Yiyi clearly for the first time.
"Sister-in-law, on the street, it's a joke!" Du Yiyi dragged her into the alley, took out a handkerchief and motioned for her to wipe her tears.
"Gaffe." Lu Xiangxue lowered her head to wipe away her tears, blinked hard and returned to normal before raising her head.
"Sister-in-law, I'll take you somewhere!"
Instead of waiting for the emperor to coerce, now is the time to make the emperor feel more pressure to make Shen Ke more active.
Lu Xiangxue didn't ask her where she was going, and directly followed her along this alley all the way to Choma Street and entered a calligraphy and painting shop.
The results of the examination will be invalidated, and the exam will be reopened next year, Kuang Xiaofeng, who has been idle for more than a month, has reopened his shop, but he is no longer the boss, but just a person who works for the Rui Wangfu and gets monthly money.
Kuang Xiaofeng once delivered news to Yan Xinglu for her, and she was able to contact Yan Xinglu as soon as possible.
Kuang Xiaofeng knew Lu Xiangxue, Shen Ke's situation is now known to everyone, and of course he, a scholar who wanders around when he has nothing to do, also knows it, he let the two stay in the shop and found Yan Xinglu who was eating.
Kuang Xiaofeng closed the door of the store. Knowing the relationship between Du Yiyi and Yan Xinglu, he understands that he may talk about something that cannot be spread to the outside world.
"General Shen's matter, I will definitely do my best!"
Yan Xinglu only ate half a bowl of rice before following Kuang Xiaofeng to Chop Horse Street, because he knew that Du Yiyi must have something in mind when he came to him at this time, and he knew a news when he left the palace.
"Scholar Yan, thank you!" Lu Xiangxue thanked her.
"Mrs. Shen, let General Shen be careful of changes in the army." His father had just returned from Jingcheng, and as far as he knew, the emperor had come to Yan's mansion before, and now that the emperor has such a movement, it is enough to explain everything.
"Hmmm! Thank you very much! Lu Xiangxue thanked again.
Seeing Du Yiyi's frowns, Yan Xinglu, who returned the salute with Lu Xiangxue, comforted: "Don't worry, Lord Rao has always been fair, as long as General Shen is innocent, everything will be revealed!" ”
"I'm afraid, he's not impartial!"
The emperor sent Rao Su to investigate, undoubtedly because of Rao Su's impartiality, but how could the emperor let his bamboo basket be empty.
Yan Xinglu thought of the last case that his father was presiding over, and was silent for a moment before saying, "Why are you in a hurry to call me here?" ”
"I want you to ............" Du Yiyi took a step forward and asked in a low voice, "Is it possible to let King Chao withdraw from the Governor's Mansion?" ”
The emperor's greatest hope is in King Chao, so he will kill the donkey and unload the grinding to put Shen Ke to death, if King Chao can no longer hold the military power, the emperor's hope will be disappointed, so that the emperor can reactivate Shen Ke.
Yan Xinglu's face was embarrassed, this is very difficult!
The current King Chao is no longer the King of Chao three months ago, although there is no name of the prince, but with the support of the emperor and queen, he is already a prince who is only missing a holy decree, although many people are dissatisfied with him after he takes charge of the military governor's mansion, but recently the voice of dissatisfaction of the soldiers of the five military governors has gradually died down, if you want to let the king of Chao withdraw from the governor's mansion, the most important thing is still in the emperor.
The emperor now has unprecedented respect and trust in King Chao.
"As long as General Shen is innocent, the emperor can't help him!"
Any move by Shen Ke will only reverse the situation that is now favorable to him, as long as Rao Su proves Shen Ke's innocence, how can the emperor persecute Shen Ke again?
It would be fine if Shen Ke was innocent, but the problem now is that Shen Ke's identity may have been known by the emperor.
Yan Xinglu can't come up with an effective way to do his best, the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, and the king wants his ministers to die, what can he do?
Shen Ke's only chance is that the current situation has not been so bad that he still has a chance to regain the emperor's trust, this time, it may be the emperor's warning or test to this courtier who has achieved great achievements.
………………
"Yan Liu and Mr. Du arrived in the capital together today, and they went to Jingcheng for more than half a month! The two entered the palace together. ”
Rui Wangfu, Qin Huai reported the latest news he had gotten.
Ning Zhiyuan, who had just returned to King Rui's Mansion, and Du Yiyi were discussing the current situation in the court, Yan Liu, as the emperor's trusted minister, went to Jingcheng, where Shen Ke got ahead, with Mr. Du, who founded Jinyiwei, this time it was a suspicious thing.
"What's the news coming out of the palace?"
"Not yet!"
Now that Jingcheng is calm, the two of them who have resigned from their official positions have gone there together, is there any clue in Jingcheng that is unfavorable to Shen Ke? Mr. Du went to Jingcheng, and he could understand that he went to punch the eyeliner into the grassland tribe for Jinyiwei, but Yan Liu also went! What did Yan Liu do in Jingcheng?
"Where is Mr. Du now?"
"Mr. Du is now in Jinyiwei!"
Although Mr. Du has resigned from the position of Jinyiwei, but the accumulated position in Jinyiwei is still there, and now that the East Factory is established, I believe that there will be dissatisfaction with Jinyiwei, who once pinned his head to his waist to serve the emperor.
How did I forget about it!
Ning Zhiyuan Huo got up, one hand was the palm and the other was scared, Shen Ke's problem was still in terms of military power, Dongchang and Jinyiwei were secretly established for many years, and the other was established by Fang Fang, and the contact between these two parties was the same as the entanglement between the military generals and Confucian generals.
"Come with me to Jinyiwei!"
Qin Huai bowed down to receive the order and walked out after him.
Jin Yiwei? Now Du Yiyi, the four forces in the capital, also knows that if the four forces are unbalanced, it will be an immediate harm to the imperial court.
"Mother Xu, forsythia, you go and see what is happening in the East Factory during this time!"
Mother Xu and Forsythia should be in good shape, and when they walked out of the house, they met Qinglan who was coming from this side.
Since meeting Xin Tonghou and his wife that day, Qinglan has gone out of the yard to bask in the sun less often, and the number of times he has come to the front yard is even more limited.
Qinglan, Du Yiyi has always tried her best to get along with Qinglan, who is quiet as an invisible person living in the backyard of Rui Wangfu, as much as a friend, but because Qinglan has a cold temperament and doesn't know where to go most of the time, the intersection of the two families in the past six months is also clear.
Lu Xiangxue said that Qinglan was the same as her, Du Yiyi could understand Lu Xiangxue, but she couldn't understand Qinglan.
Qinglan has no grievances with her, when she and Ning Zhiyuan were in a cold war, Qinglan had enough opportunities to subdue Ning Zhiyuan's heart, if this is the case, he will definitely keep a distance from Ning Zhiyuan, why did Qinglan do this?
"Princess!" Qinglan was blessed, and Du Yiyi raised her hand to signal her to take a seat.
Bai Wei served tea and took Chang's mother outside.
Because Qinglan had helped herself once, Du Yiyi had a good impression of her from the beginning, and she had always intended to have a good relationship with Qinglan to control the internal affairs of the Rui Wangfu during the first time, Qinglan has always shown enough respect for her, the Rui princess, she can see Qinglan's dissatisfaction with herself, but she definitely can't tolerate Qinglan making moves behind her back.
"Qinglan! It's been more than half a year since you married into the Rui Wangfu! ”
Qinglan entered the mansion half a month later than her, and when she calculates the time, it has been more than half a year since the end of autumn last year.
"Yes! It's been more than six months! Qinglan smiled lightly, and behaved like a lady.
"Six months, it's really fast! How do you feel about this time in Rui Wangfu? ”
"It's quiet, it's good!" Qinglan smiled and rubbed the edge of the teacup with her hand, her eyes always looking at the tea powder floating in the teacup.
"Qinglan, do you feel wronged?" Du Yiyi stared straight at her smooth forehead and delicate eyelashes.
"Nope!"
"Are you dissatisfied?"
"Qinglan doesn't dare!"
"Don't you dare or don't you have?"
"Nope!"
"Do I owe you anything to you?"
"The princess is generous and benevolent, and she is very good to Qinglan!"
Du Yiyi asked calmly, Qinglan replied quietly, she looked at the fanning eyelashes, and she looked at the slowly rotating tea powder.
"Then why did you do those things?"
Du Yiyi's voice was cold, her eyes were even colder, and Qinglan's answer was very dissatisfied with her.
"Qinglan doesn't understand what the princess means!" Qinglan looked at the already swollen tea powder motionlessly, rubbed the edge of the tea cup with his hand, picked up the tea cup and opened his mouth to take a sip of tea.
"You help me, help the prince, so I respect you for three points, if you are dissatisfied, to put it bluntly, why do you have to do those hands and feet behind your back?"
Du Yiyi stared at Qinglan's cheek, wanting to see guilt or panic on her face, so that at least she could make the outcome of today's conversation kinder.
From the day she met Qinglan, she knew that Qinglan was good at ventriloquism, that is, she was the best at covering herself, she was very good at hiding her emotions, even if Mount Tai collapsed, she would not be the slightest nervous.
"The princess asked Qinglan to say it directly, then Qinglan said it directly, Qinglan is not dissatisfied with the princess, the emotional matter depends on fate and her own efforts, the fate between the princess and the princess is better than Qinglan's, but Qinglan also wants to rely on her own efforts to fight, if it brings trouble and harm to the princess, Qinglan is very sorry."
Qinglan met Du Yiyi's gaze with reason, neither humility nor arrogance, although he confided the truth, but he did not have the slightest sense of guilt, and it was natural to be tough.
"You can even say unreasonable things so strongly, Qinglan, how can I rest assured that you will stay in the Rui Wang's Mansion again?"
Qinglan's attitude, how can Du Yiyi put his mind at ease.
"Qinglan is the prince's person, even if the princess has the right to deal with the internal affairs of the Rui Palace, she can't drive Qinglan out, the princess treats Qinglan well, Qinglan is grateful, the princess has also loved someone, and please understand Qinglan!"
is obviously already a rival in love, and they have already talked about the incompatibility of water and fire in the future, Qinglan can stay calm, but Du Yiyi can't.
"Qinglan, don't be too complacent!"
Qinglan was sure that she couldn't drive her out of the house because she was now Ning Zhiyuan's right-hand man, and because of her identity as the second lady, Shen Ke was no longer the first person in the military before, Du Yiyi did not have this strong support, and the decline in status was inevitable, although Ning Zhiyuan had been close to her in the past few days, but the imperial court, which had always been dissatisfied with Du Yiyi, had already moved.
Many people don't take Qinglan seriously, although she entered the Ruiwang Mansion less than half a month after Du Yiyi entered the mansion, but Qinglan has always kept to herself and has few desires, and has not brought many surprises to people who want to see the excitement, knowing that later Ziyue entered the mansion, Ning Yi was given marriage.
Now that Ziyue is gone, Ning Yi has also become Princess Kangning, and many people have discovered that the only person who can stay in the Rui Wangfu is this Qinglan who lives quietly in the backyard.
Someone began to think of this second lady who lived quietly in the backyard of King Rui's mansion, and the emperor was one of them.
Du Yiyi didn't expect that under her nose, the emperor would be able to contact Qinglan without concealing the sky, although Qinglan did not have a decent background, but with her cultivation and current identity, she could completely become the emperor's candidate to suppress Shen Ke in the line survey.
With the support of the emperor, Du Yiyi has no ability to drive away Qinglan.
"If the princess doesn't have any orders, Qinglan will retire!"
In front of Du Yiyi, Qinglan abides by his identity and etiquette, but he will never be inferior because of his identity as a concubine, whether it is the conversation with Du Yiyi for the first time or the current position, Qinglan is like the master of Rui Wangfu.
Having seen Qinglan's red and moist eyes outside Huaiyu's residence, Du Yiyi really couldn't hold much hatred for the person in front of him, if he hadn't gone to this day with Ning Zhiyuan, maybe Qinglan wouldn't have come to this day.
Soon after Qinglan left, Ning Zhiyuan rushed back from Jinyiwei, Rao Su took Shaoqing of Dali Temple and others to Suzhou, Shen Ke's case will not have a result for a while, and now Jinyiwei is cooperating with the commander of the Governor's Mansion to appease the emotions of the soldiers of the Governor's Mansion and step up the maintenance of law and order in the capital, Ning Zhiyuan saw Mr. Du and Zhu Ge.
"Lu Shoufu's worries are not wrong, the two forces of Dongchang and Jinyiwei cannot coexist peacefully!"
The main force of Dongchang is the eunuch, and the Jinyi Wei is the person who is absorbed from all aspects to train, Zhu Ge is too indulgent to his subordinates, although Shu Ruhai strictly controls his subordinates, but does not avoid the touch of anger from both sides.
Today, in the alley between Dongchang and Jinyi Wei Mansion, the two parties who met in the office fought hard, although there was no murder, but the two parties argued for their own words, and they couldn't get a result at all, and now Shu Ruhai and Zhu Ge have already known about this matter and are negotiating.
