Chapter Twenty-Six: Luminous Confusion and Guarding the Heart, Comet Guilty of Ziwei
"Straighten out the inner court and leave a sworn enemy as a scapegoat."
Meng Ke explained carefully, glanced around, and stuffed a small bag of things to Jia Nei.
"...... this?"
He took it and weighed it twice in his sleeve robe.
It feels heavy and rests on its hands, like some kind of gold cake or lead.
"Framed objects, go back and open them again, remember to put them away."
Jia Neishi's eyes lit up, and he lowered his head and said, "Xiangye Qin is bothered. ”
"Jia Jundang is so close to the little prince."
Meng Ke said with a smile.
For a short-term common goal, although the two have their own ghosts, they can still maintain their interests and cooperation.
……
In the eunuch's separate hut, the Janeth fastened the doors and windows, opened the bag and examined it carefully.
Inside are indeed a few bright tokens, engraved with lotus flowers, and some golden pattern handwriting.
"What do you mean by these?"
He muttered, taking a token and looking it left and right:
"Maitreya was born, and King Ming was born."
"The white lotus descends to earth, and all the people turn over."
"Tut-tut, I can't imagine that a dignified scholar also understands the teachings of the White Lotus Sect, and in the name of the White Lotus Fangla, Qin Xianggong is really ruthless!"
Janet was amazed and threw a piece onto the table.
"But...... The amount is small and not a gentleman, non-toxic and not a husband, our family just likes a great husband like Qin Xianggong who can afford to let go. ”
He rubbed the object in his hand, the tip of his tongue brushing the corner of his lips, revealing a sickly smile.
……
In the early morning of the next day, Meng Ke officially entered the Hajj.
The princes above the court thought that he would shed his skin if he didn't die, but he didn't expect this guy to worship again.
This time, there was no restraint from the main battle faction, and there was no division of power between Zhang Jun, Zhao Ding and others, and he almost reached the real power.
However, in the eyes of the courtiers, the most terrifying thing was not that Meng Ke was above 10,000 people alone, but that he was able to persuade the official family to continue to let the Yue family's army go through the ranks.
It's just a phase, it's not worth much, and the two ministers were dismissed not long ago.
What really matters is the grace of the officials.
No one has too much grace, and the more it is, the more stable and unshakable it is.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this Qin Xiangye is about to soar into the sky.
After retreating from the dynasty, the Qin Mansion restored the scene of the past, and even became more lively.
Wang Ciweng, Luo Ruji, Zhan Dafang, Li Wenhui...... These former henchmen and friends have all come to visit at this moment.
Tang Siwei, Wan Qiao, Wei Shixun...... Those who had converted to other places were also rejoined one after another.
Meng Ke is one step closer to getting his wish.
……
More than a month later, the convoy that escorted Yan Wushu arrived at Jiankang City almost at the same time as the Jin envoys.
The Jin people believed that their country's previous focus was on political struggle, and once they freed up their hands, they would be able to defeat Yue Fei, so they demanded that the Southern Song Dynasty return half of the territory they had fought to themselves, and pay annual contributions every year.
Zhao Gou was naturally not happy, and he also planned to let the Jin people call him 'Daddy Khan'. I can give you money or anything, but this title must be decided.
The two sides argued several times in the court and then broke up unhappily.
On the second day and night, the glow was confused, the comet made a crape myrtle, and the meteor fell.
Meng Ke was summoned to the palace to discuss negotiations with the Jin people.
"The celestial phenomena changed greatly, and the officials were furious, suspecting that the Jin envoy had bad intentions. The palace has been handed over to me and another great eunuch, and tonight is a good time for us to do it. ”
Under the cover of night, Jia Nei took a position ahead of Meng Ke with a lantern, and whispered very quickly through the cover of the night.
"The initial contact with the little prince has gone well, and I have already gained the trust of this one. Qin Xiangye, how are you doing with the courtiers? ”
"Thanks to the official family's deprecation of the main battle faction, the court is now full of some flies, dogs, and monkeys. As long as the tail of the hand is handled beautifully, they dare not come forward. ”
Meng Ke sneered: "Before entering the dormitory for a while, you let the guards search my body, and the more people see it, the better." ”
"Qin Xianggong rest assured, our family has been arranged, and the shifts and eunuchs on duty are all trustworthy people."
Jia Neishou bowed his head and said, "Everything today is at the disposal of Prime Minister Qin. ”
His tone was respectful and humble, but there was no emotion in his eyes.
"Where's the dispatch? You and I will cooperate sincerely, and after today, we will both be the pillars of the new emperor and the good ministers of the society. ”
Meng Ke smiled faintly, and the palm under the sleeve robe quietly pressed on the slightly hunched spine of Jia Neishi through the night, and the other party straightened up with a force.
"Qin Xiangye is right, our family will definitely assist the new emperor wholeheartedly."
Janeh paused, and an inexplicable emotion rose in his heart.
"Alright, Jane, please."
Meng Ke withdrew his hand and raised his feet and walked in the direction of the dormitory.
Janeh hurriedly followed with a lantern.
……
"Why hasn't Qin Hui arrived yet?!"
Zhao Gou frowned slightly, leaning lazily on the couch.
In front of him, a wounded, bloodied man was imprisoned in a low iron cage only half a meter high.
A large eunuch next to him, dressed exactly like Jia Nei's, held an iron stick, and poked at the man from time to time through the gap in the railing.
It's like a kennel.
Hearing the familiar name, the already numb man slowly opened his bloodshot eyes, his eyes full of hatred and unwillingness.
The mouth stuffed with rags let out a low roar, as if to vent all the resentment in his heart.
After the roar, he lay down in the cage and convulsed weakly, how could he still be arrogant and high-spirited when he was in charge of the Southern Expedition?
The Past ......
"Jia Nei has already gone to pick up Prime Minister Qin, he should ......"
Before the chief eunuch could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door outside the bedroom.
"Official, Xianggong Qin is here."
Zhao Gou raised his eyebrows slightly, and waved his hand to signal the big eunuch to cover the cage with a curtain.
"Let him in."
He sat up straight, his face expressionless.
After a while, Meng Ke walked in with his bare hands and saluted, "Weichen has seen the official family. ”
Zhao Gou waved his hand: "Get up." ”
"Xie Guan's family."
Meng Ke stood up, his eyes quietly looked around, and naturally took the cage covered with cloth and making a sound into his eyes.
But don't ask what you shouldn't ask, he is still very clear about this, but he just arched his hand and said: "I don't know why the official family summoned the ministers?" ”
"Naturally, it is a matter of Song and Jin to negotiate peace, and the Jin people are too much! I don't want to call my father, but I want money and land, and I even want me to return the Yan Wushu to them, how is this possible? You can think of a way for me, at least to keep the title and complete the face vulture......"
……
In the bedroom, the Son of Heaven asked.
Outside the bedroom, Xiangye layout.
According to Meng Ke's intentions, Jia Neishou sent all the surrounding shifts to the outer courtyard, and ordered the others not to move around at will, so he quietly guarded in front of the gate with his hands behind his back.
