Chapter 158: Dispute
Everything seemed to be a foregone conclusion, no one could figure out what Chongyu thought in his heart, and the next day the marriage of Yan Biyu and Zong Qin spread throughout Jingcheng, and the streets and alleys were talking about it.
A few days have passed in a blink of an eye, and such a topic seems to be intensifying without stopping, Yan Biyu has also been nesting in her boudoir every day since the banquet that day and no longer sees anyone, even the maid Linghan has been kicked out, no one knows what she is doing inside, Yan Taishi looks at Yan Biyu's closed room door with concern every day, sighing and helpless.
Master Yan knew that his daughter was very sad to pass this hurdle, but the emperor's words that day were like hearing in his ears, although he felt very uncomfortable, he didn't marry into the royal family.
The girl Linghan stood silently by the door and saw Taishi Yan coming over: "Taishi." Yan Rufeng glanced at the door, and it was quiet inside: "Still don't want to see people?" "The second prince has also come many times, and he can't never see anyone before he gets married, isn't it embarrassing for a prince to come here and wait.
Linghan nodded, and his little face was twisted: "I only let the slave and maid deliver food every day, and then I don't come out anymore, will Miss Taishi ......?"
Yan Rufeng interrupted, and his face was unusually cold: "What nonsense? My daughter wouldn't be so vulnerable. The low, hoarse voice was tinged with slight anger.
The maid Linghan was so frightened that she knelt down and kowtowed again and again: "The master spares her life, the slave maid is just too worried about the young lady, the master spares her life, the slave and the maid don't mean to curse the young lady." ”
Yan Rufeng's sudden aura frightened Linghan, and even the voice begging for mercy trembled, at this time the door creaked open, Yan Biyu's delicate little face was revealed, and she walked out of the room, Xu stayed in the room for a long time, and the dazzling sunlight made her unable to open her eyes: "Father, what are you going to do?" Linghan was just worried about me. ”
The words fell and walked to Linghan's side: "My father is joking. Sure enough, Jiang is still old and spicy, Yan Rufeng is indeed joking, his daughter is affectionate, so he will call his daughter out through Linghan's words, just to see if it is good, and now he sees that his complexion is still white and red, although his eyes are a little dull, but at least his heart is down.
Yan Rufeng and Mrs. Yan don't have the appearance of a master at home, and they treat their subordinates very well, and they can help them, so the subordinates of Yanfu are very obedient and more loyal, and Mrs. Yan takes care of the rules of Yanfu very well, and the subordinates have the duty of subordinates, and no one will exceed them.
Of course, Yan Biyu knew her father's intentions: "Father, you think too much, your daughter is embroidering a wedding dress." As he spoke, he walked into the house and took out the wedding dress he had made overnight, and said with a smile: "Look, is it good-looking?" ”
In fact, she has long understood that sometimes there must be in life, there is no time in life to force it, the twisted melon is not sweet, if she wants her mother's happiness to find someone she loves, it is impossible, then she will be more tired.
She was even more reluctant to become so humble and grovel, so on the third day of the banquet, after the queen asked the big palace maid around her to send the dowry, she understood that this was the queen's compensation, and it was the queen's mind.
The blood-red wedding dress is made of fine silk satin, smooth as silk, and the pattern of Luan Feng and Ming is tightly embroidered with golden silk thread, shining golden in the sun, at this moment Yan Rufeng only feels dazzling, especially the daughter's smile, suddenly like a fish in the throat I don't know how to say: "As long as you can spend your life peacefully, my father will be satisfied, and my daughter is the best." ”
Yan Biyu looked at Yan Rufeng's eyes gradually reddening: "Father, you and your mother must be well, don't worry about your daughter." Mother Yan, who was standing on the side, had already burst into tears, in fact, she was unwilling to marry the second prince and marry into the palace, and the Yan family didn't need to take advantage of the dragon's quick son-in-law to increase the family's popularity.
Mother Yan gently hugged Yan Biyu: "Daughter, you have to remember that when you get married, you are not like being a girl in our Yan family, you have to know this." ”
Yan Biyu smiled slightly, and her eyes suddenly lit up: "Mother, my daughter will keep it in mind." ”
Everything was as peaceful as planned for half a month, I thought that this matter would be spent quietly, but on the fifth day after the banquet, Wei Nuyi was urgently recalled to the palace by Chongyu overnight, Wei Nuyi stood in the hall and looked at the figure with his back to himself, and the bright candlelight stretched Chongyu's figure, inexplicably giving people a sense of oppression: "The courtier Wei Nuyi knocked on the emperor." ”
After the words fell, Chongyu didn't speak, Wei Nuyi could only kneel on the ground and wait quietly, and after a long time, Chongyu turned around and asked, "Miss Wei, if I remove these people from their official positions, what will be the effect." ”
Wei Nuyi looked at the fold handed over by Chongyu suspiciously, and with the last opening, Wei Nuyi's heart was also cold, Chongyu was going to change blood.
It's just that the people above are all in important positions, and the relationship network is intricate and affects the whole body, Wei Nuyi frowned tightly, she didn't understand why Chongyu was in such a hurry, obviously she could wait for the second prince to leave and slowly clear it, so that she could also find a candidate.
If you really want to make a big move now, you can only use the hereditary system, but it won't play much role: "The courtiers think it's inappropriate, and the emperor is not in a hurry for this moment." ”
Chongyu didn't seem to hear Wei Nuyi's advice and continued: "You think about other ways to find these alternate officials in the shortest possible time. ”
Chongyu's words let Wei Nuyi know that he was determined to remove all obstacles, just to make Zong Han's ascension to the throne smoother, these people are nothing more than Zong Qin's people.
Wei Nuyi understood what Chongyu meant and continued: "If this is really the case, the courtiers think that they must all be changed before the second prince arrives outside the territory, that is to say, they must find officials suitable for these positions in most of the month. ”
Wei Nuyi continued: "The courtiers think that the hereditary system of the Thousand Dynasties should be abolished, and they should use their henchmen to carry out the scientific examination system in the following counties and townships, no matter whether they are rich or poor, as long as they have the ability and can bring merit to the Thousand Dynasties, then they can participate in the selection, and all official positions are arranged according to ability, which can also prevent the regrouping of people from the old department." ”
Wei Nuyi's words made Chongyu nod in agreement: "Okay, just do as you say, Gonggong Mo, pass on my will and immediately start the officials in charge of talent selection in various states, counties, counties, townships, and pavilions to start the selection of talented and virtuous people, and conduct scientific examinations, not only that, but also the selection of martial arts examinations, and the selection criteria are martial arts and martial arts." ”
"The old slave is going."
"Wait, there is also a rumor that Prime Minister Zhao and Taishi Yan will enter the palace to face the saint, so that Wei Zhonglang will meet me." With a wave of Chongyu's big hand, Grandpa Mo took three steps back and turned to leave.
In the dark night, the palace lamps illuminated the bluestone road, and Wei Nuyi and Chongyu waited until dawn before rubbing their sore arms and leaving the palace, but she didn't know that because of her suggestions and measures, the imperial examination system of the Thousand Dynasties had been achieved, and it had also become a lingering nightmare for some people.
How many people were raided, how many people fell off the horse Wei Nuyi didn't know and didn't want to know, in her opinion, everything was destined, after returning from the palace, Wei Nuyi fell asleep, and slept until the afternoon, the capital was still as quiet and peaceful as ever, and she didn't know that this quiet and peaceful situation had begun to be turbulent.
The ministers who heard the news were either busy transferring their property, or trying to find scapegoats, and for a few days Zong Han personally led the people of the Yulin Army to seal up the ministers related to Zong Qin, and those who were imprisoned were imprisoned, and those who were killed on the spot were killed, and every mansion was full of blood.
I'm afraid that no one would have thought that the three princes who were friendly in the past would turn into a killing madman, as if only blood could make him feel his existence, Zong Han walked on the ground full of blood in his noble boots, leaving strange bloody footprints, and the people who watched were shocked.
"The third prince, spare your life, the ministers must bow down and die." Cheng Wu, the counselor, knelt on the ground tremblingly and begged for mercy, looking at the boots that came step by step, he was covered in cold sweat: "Third prince, spare your life......"
Zong Leng looked at the counselor Cheng Wu: "Spare your life? You moved the people you shouldn't move, how should I spare you. The indifferent voice was like a magic sound from purgatory, which frightened Cheng Wu to sit on the ground.
"It's all requested by Master Yan, and it has nothing to do with the small one." Cheng Wu looked at the bloody sword with a cold light in horror: "The third prince, the villain really knows that he is wrong, beg the third prince to spare ......" Before he finished speaking, a head rolled to the ground, and the eyes that were not blind were wide open.
Zong Han was indifferent: "Pull it out and throw it in the back mountain." After that, he walked out of the Cheng Mansion with the Yulin Army, and looked at the Yan Mansion standing tall not far away, Zong Han finally turned around and left.
The days passed in fright, Yan Biyu was so frightened when she heard such news, and the whole person collapsed and leaned on the table: "Linghan, is it true?" "The eyes are dull, and the heart has not calmed down for a long time, thanks to Zong Qin's marriage proposal, otherwise the Yanfu will probably become a wasteland of lonely souls and wild ghosts.
"Yes, Miss, although it is very quiet in the capital, these are all carried out in secret, and I am afraid that the second prince does not know, and the people who died are the people who stood on the side of the second prince at the beginning." Linghan said softly: "But don't worry, Miss, the eldest prince is going to marry Miss Wei Er, and there will be no trouble with the second prince in Yanfu, didn't the queen mother send a dowry that day?" This is also to tell the lady to rest assured. ”
Yan Biyu lowered her eyes: "Yes, if it weren't for these, I'm afraid we would have died in Huangquan a long time ago." Yan Biyu was a little pessimistic, and at the same time, she was a little disappointed in Zong Han in her heart.
Linghan could see that the young lady was still affectionate to Zong Han and persuaded him: "Miss, don't blame the slave for being too talkative, you have to prepare for the marriage with the second prince now, and you will only disappoint the second prince if you do this." ”
Yan Biyu sighed slightly: "I know." ”
In the emerald green villa, Wei Nuyi's face was a little cracked: "You said that Zong Han personally took the Yulin Army to raid the house?" Not even babies and toddlers? Wei Nuyi was terrified when he heard this, the previous Zong Han was not like this, why did it become like this?
Luan Jingkong lowered his eyes: "It's true, I didn't expect him to change his heart drastically." "Luan Jingkong's understanding of Zong Han is not like this, and Zong Han is not the kind of person who is very angry, what happened.
Wei Nuyi couldn't believe it was true, and stood up suddenly: "I'm going to see him, I'm going to ask what happened." As he spoke, he was about to rush out, but Luan Jingkong quickly pulled Wei Nuyi: "It won't help if you go now." ”
Wei Nuyi looked at Luan Jingkong sharply: "But this will be detrimental to his ascension to the throne." The words fell Wei Nuyi as if he had opened his mind: "Yes, he must have killed so much to prevent his ascension to the throne, so that the world thinks that he is not a good monarch, and let the emperor know that he is not suitable to be an emperor, it must be like this." ”
Luan Jingkong looked at Wei Nuyi: "Anu, we are about to get married, can we put our hearts here first?" To be honest, Luan Jingkong was a little jealous of Zong Han, at this time, Wei Nuyi was still thinking about him in his heart, how deep the friendship was at a young age.
Besides, Luan Jingkong doesn't think that this is Zong Han's order not to be the emperor, he must be venting his dissatisfaction in his heart, because of love, and if this matter is not guaranteed, Chongyu will not let Zong Han do this, which is also the reason why Luan Jingkong wants to stop Wei Nuyi.
The strong smell of vinegar lingered between Wei Nuyi's snorts: "Luan Jingkong, now is the time when human lives are at stake, and it is also a critical moment for Zong Han to ascend the throne, can you not be so naïve." ”
Luan Jingkong's face darkened immediately, and his eyes stared at Wei Nuyi with anger: "I'm naïve, my fiancée is thinking about other men, how can I be naïve." Luan Jingkong's cold eyes seemed to be about to see Wei Nuyi through.
Wei Nuyi knew that Luan Jingkong must be unhappy, but her deal with the queen was Zong Han's accession to the throne, and didn't she and her relatives also make Zong Han's throne more stable?
So she ignored Luan Jingkong's anger of wanting to eat people, and resolutely walked out of the Pear Flower Courtyard, she had to persuade Zong Han to stop.
