710 Temptation, counter-temptation
"The Immortal Heavenly God Sect broke through the blockade after a hard fight, and now they have returned north. The sacrifices of the Immortal Heavenly God Sect were all seriously injured, and the third silver sacrifice was particularly heavy, presumably because they were severely injured by the masters of the world earlier, and they did not know if there was a secret medicine that could cure them after returning to the north. ”
"Kublai Khan's army was assembled, and it seems that there was an intention to move westward. The Chagatai Khanate has reacted and is strengthening its border guards. ”
"It has now been verified that Mingli Timur was assassinated by the Immortal Celestial God Sect. He did not die on the spot, but his injuries were difficult to treat and he is now unconscious. ”
"The three bachelors have just woken up, and there is no need to worry about their lives. However, the three bachelors have serious internal injuries, one of them has broken their meridians, one of them has lost their skills, and the last one needs to recuperate for a long time to heal, and the achievements of a lifetime only stop at this and it is difficult to make progress. ”
"There seems to be an anomaly among the countries of the Western Regions, and a number of remote and small countries have behaved strangely, and the specific reasons need to be verified. ”
"It has been verified that behind the Celestial Song and Dance Troupe is the Evil Eradication Alliance. Guo Jing's second daughter, Guo Xiang, presided over the overall situation, but she only performed every day but did not have any special actions, and did not get involved in the disputes of the rivers and lakes. ”
"Three days ago, Guo Jing officially ascended to the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance, and the reward for Jia Tengying was raised again. There were very few people who could escape from the island that day, and the martial arts alliance did not respond to the incident on the mysterious island for the time being, thinking that they did not know the truth. However, the matter is doubtful and should be further approved. ”
"Jia Tengying is nowhere to be found, and no trace has been found. ”
Fang Longtu stood in the courtyard with his hands in his hands, quietly listening to the important information reported by his subordinates. Unlike Jia Yidao, he doesn't like to stay indoors. Even if it was a secret discussion, he stood under the sky and above the earth, so that his vision could reach the distance, as if he wanted to take these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains into his heart.
"Hmm. He nodded slightly and asked casually: "A few days ago, Jia Rudao convened a court meeting. Why?"
"Back to the adult's words: According to the informant's secret report. Liu An, the great eunuch in the palace, seemed to have moved. Three days ago, he went to the Qilin Pavilion by holy order. Coerce the defenders into forcing their way in. Liu An has always been good friends with Jia Nidao, and was ordered by Jia Nidao to supervise the harem and control the internal affairs of the forbidden palace, which is also a big help for Jia Nidao. But Liu An's actions are really suspicious, and Jia Rudao convened the court meeting to take the opportunity to test it. ”
"Liu An?" Fang Zheng's eyes moved slightly, as if he was very surprised: "What is the result of the court meeting?"
"Our two lords were impeached and deposed, and their official positions were abolished and moved to the southwestern border. The leader of the garrison of the Qilin Pavilion of the garrison camp was abandoned by Jia Rudao because he wanted to resist the order, and he was cut off and confiscated. Nothing else. The emperor is still the same. Jia seems to be allowed, and there is no difference. But Liu An has a deep breath and can't see through it, which is completely different from the previous weather, and it seems to have made a big breakthrough. ”
"Liu An......" Fang Zheng pondered when he heard this: "This old eunuch has been serving in the forbidden palace for more than sixty years, and Emperor Ningzong has already entered the palace to serve when he was in power. In the past 60 years, he has been just a greedy for money, vain and short-sighted, and low-eyed. Jia seems to respect him on the surface, but in fact, he is a good way to deal with this person. They have been safe and sound, why has there been such a sudden change in recent days, is it ...... Can you confirm that the 'father-in-law Liu' is Liu An now?"
"Returning to your lordship. When his subordinates confirmed the court meeting, Liu An was not disguised, and an adult who was good at this way repeatedly confirmed. ”
Fang Zheng looked into the sky. He frowned slightly and muttered, "It shouldn't be......"
"My lord, my subordinates think that this Liu An is well versed in the trickery and power of the court, and he must understand the truth of Taoguang and obscurity. The Liu An we waited for may not be the real Liu An. The so-called if you don't fly, it's just a skyrocket. Thirty years ago, at the critical moment when the former emperor died and the crown prince was vying for the throne, he suddenly broke through without making a sound. In this way, whether it is Shi Miyuan or Jia Yidao, they all need to rely on him. If the emperor is old today and has no heirs, wouldn't it be the same as 30 years ago? Come to think of it, this Liu An has endured for 30 years, and he also wants to be like last time, and if he doesn't make a sound, he will be a blockbuster. ”
"There is some truth ......" Fang Zheng stroked his long beard and pondered, and asked casually after a while: "The matter of the Heavenly Evil suppressing Ziwei, the Wenchang Academy can measure the results?"
"Yuan Zhao of Wenchang Yuan was seriously injured, which made it much more difficult for us to calculate. Moreover, if today's turbulence is turbid and difficult to distinguish, although the heavenly evil qi presses Ziwei, it is not yet known whether it is a blessing or a curse, a rise or a fall. ”
"Tiansha is yin and yang?"
"According to the deduction of the scholars, it is difficult to understand the yin and yang of this heavenly evil spirit. ”
"Yin and Yang are difficult to understand?" Fang Longtu seemed to have figured out something, and smiled slightly: "Heh, it seems that Liu An, a eunuch who is neither yin nor yang, is really going to take advantage of the situation." It is reported that the emperor has sent a decree from the Privy Council today to return to the Qinzheng Palace?"
"Yes. Not only that, but also go to the court every day to reorganize the government. ”
"Alright, alright, alright, the time is not far off. With admiration in his mouth, Fang Zheng was not really happy for the emperor's rise. He suddenly turned around, his eyes were like swords, and he was murderous: "Tell everyone, the time has come, and the decisive battle will begin!" On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, he moved to write a letter, abolish Zhao Bingchun, and transfer Zhao Mengqi to Zhao Mengqi. The battle between the princes must not be lost!"
"Yes!"
At a delicate time, a subtle change triggered a lot of things that should have been hidden for a long time. In this matter, the two major groups of the Southern Song Dynasty began to wrestle head-on. Zhao Yun of Song Lizong began to return to the court and went to court every day. Although he did not directly remove the power of the Privy Council to approve the recitals, he had to send them to the Diligent Hall for review every day.
People who don't know the reason still think that the emperor has finally lost his way and wants to break free from the gentle township and prepare to distribute Tuqiang. But for those who really know the mystery, there is a sense of depression in the court, a kind of calm before the storm.
The political struggle is the most troublesome struggle. Because you can't make a mistake, you should be extra careful. It is as if a blind man is moving forward, and when he steps forward, he has to try and try again, and he has explored and explored.
But for Yang Gonggong, life suddenly became a lot more comfortable.
She finally got her wish and brought back a large number of books from the imperial treasury, and also obtained a large number of books from the Privy Council.
Whether it is a storm or a shower, the illusion of tranquility is also tranquility for her. This atmosphere has been transmitted to the palace since the front of the court, which has made the concubines a lot more honest. She finally had a way to get rid of all the noise and concentrate on one thing. Her strong physique, strong spirit, and thriving internal cultivation allowed her to study all night without sleep.
With the improvement of Sanmiao's domestication of the Zhao brothers. She no longer guards this emperor all the time. Instead, let go and be watched by Sanmiao. She is not criticizing in the Diligent Palace. It is to read the secret book in the imperial study. The moon rises and the moon sets, and nothing can interrupt her thoughts. She never took her eyes off the books, and she was more focused than when she was a top student and took the university entrance examination.
None of the little eunuchs knew what the Grand Duke was looking at, and they didn't have the courage to disturb her. All they knew was that the best way to get the Grand Duke to look at them and give them a look was to stand away, keep your mouth shut, and don't peek.
Of course, there are occasional noises coming in.
For example, the prince and the prince have been there three times. Take the money for the first time. The second time he took the title deed, and the third time he talked about a certain courtier surnamed Liu in the court who had been promoted by Lord Jia and what kind of official he was. In the face of this kind of noise, Yang Gonggong didn't bother to pay attention to it at all, and let Wang Gonggong get out without even looking at it.
The prince did not give up, and vaguely mentioned the matter of "baby" before leaving for the last time.
Yang Gonggong finally raised his eyes from the book and asked casually: "What baby?"
The princess seemed to have a chance to win, and showed a smile of "you know": "Father-in-law, you are knowingly asking, of course it is your 'baby'." The queen mother is gracious, and has already taken it from the cleansing courtyard. ”
Father-in-law Yang finally understood. Immediately looked disgusted. I thought it was some kind of treasure, but it turned out to be that thing. Although intellectually I know that as a eunuch, I must value that thing very much. The real Gonggong Liu will definitely do whatever it takes to redeem that thing, but--ya actually wants to bribe me with that old eunuch's "pickled radish"?! Die, I'd rather expose it than that thing!
So Gonggong Yang immediately waved his hand angrily: "Let's go, don't disturb me." ”
"Uh......" The prince was stunned, that thing was really more important to the eunuch than gold and silver. All the eunuchs will look forward to getting the treasure back in the same mood as the people of the mainland looking forward to the return of Wanwan. Wang Gonggong originally thought that this was the trump card in his hand, but he didn't expect that people would use this trump card as toilet paper, so that all his follow-up plans would be invalidated, so he could only say stupidly with a blank brain: "That baby...... Do you want more?"
"It's okay to throw it away and feed the dogs! Close the door and get out!" Yang Gongcheng saw the key point, how could he be in the mood to be long-winded.
When the prince passed on today's experience back to the master behind him, his master exclaimed in a low voice: "The dust is all cut down, the obsession is all gone, no wonder it has advanced by leaps and bounds, and he really underestimated him." It seems that only that thing can impress him. ”
In the whirlpool of spy warfare of countless temptations and counter-temptations, Yang Gonggong sat firmly in Diaoyutai. She didn't listen to what was going on outside the window, and read countless books day and night. She was so focused, so focused that people couldn't even figure out why she was so focused, what was in these boring things that attracted her.
Late at night on the seventh day after coercing the imperial treasury, in the imperial study, Yang Gongcheng was reading at night.
At this time, in silence, someone came step by step and approached quietly. It was as if it didn't exist, it didn't alarm anyone, it didn't let out any breath. There is no true qi, no anger, no murderous energy, not even breathing energy. If you don't see it directly, even the idle innate masters won't be able to sense the existence of that person.
The man stretched out a hand from behind his back, and this hand moved forward slowly, like a patient hunter fishing in the water.
This hand can open the stele and rubble, but at this time, it is silent like a ghost, and it is handed over unhurriedly.
This hand, with bad intentions.
Smack - the hand slapped on Yang Gonggong's shoulder.
Hmmm-Yang Gonggong turned his head suddenly, but his face hit a finger that had been cocked and waiting there. The delicate fingers poked at Yang Gonggong's face, poking out a rather elastic nest, and then the owner of the hand smiled contentedly: "Finally succeeded in sneaking up on you once!"
"Eh, Jiao Niang?" Yang Gonggong put down the book and stood up, looking at the petite big Lori in surprise: "Why are you here?"
"I heard from Sanmiao that you've been working hard lately, so I brought some delicious food. Besides, I haven't seen you in a long time, so I'm going to see you. Nominally, I am also your master, and I always have to reward my hard-working apprentices. Jiao Niang raised her left hand, holding a big food box in her hand. She tilted her head slightly, smiled smartly, elegant and gentle: "Let's eat some?"
"Wow, Jiao Niang, you are really my intimate little padded jacket!" Yang Gonggong immediately became energetic, she snapped and grabbed Jiao Niang's hand, and her eyes suddenly lit up: "By the way, you come with me, I will take you to a good place." Eating delicious food there, it feels absolutely unusual~~" (to be continued......)
