Chapter 1013 A chess piece, with a strong head

In the night, the carriage swayed towards the Kaihuafang.

"Your Majesty's secret decree is to make the secret guards fully wanted by Ming Chongyan, and if they resist, they will be killed." Zhao Gong couldn't help but sigh lightly.

Ming Chongyan went from being a hidden real person in the world to being secretly judged by His Majesty's order, in less than ten days.

Li Xuan stretched out his hand to lower the curtain outside, his eyes were also retracted, and then he looked at Zhao Gong and said calmly: "This time, he did too much, and it is no wonder that His Majesty is angry." ”

"Yes, arson in the East Palace, provoking the Imperial Historical Observatory, manipulating the Criminal Department, and most importantly, he leaked secrets to Tibet, really damn it." Zhao Gong's expression was extremely hateful.

"Uncle forgot, the things that surrounded the Ministry of Industry and framed Zhang Xiang before were all manipulated by him behind the scenes."

Li Xuan hesitated slightly, and finally spoke: "This time, Your Majesty did not directly appoint a new Ministry of Industry Shangshu, and there is no reason for this. ”

Zhao Gong was slightly stunned, and then said in a low voice: "Your Majesty is worried, someone is colluding with Ming Chongyan?" ”

"He has been in the palace for many years, and he knows His Majesty and the Queen of Heaven very well, I am afraid that he is not under your prime ministers, and he can feel the thoughts of His Majesty and the Queen of Heaven the most, and it is not a big deal to bet in advance." Li Xuan shook his head slightly, this is really not a too unexpected idea.

"You say, that thing ......" Zhao Gong only raised his head and closed his mouth tightly.

Li Xuan glanced up at Zhao Gong and said seriously: "Uncle, if you meet someone who spreads this kind of rumor in the future, don't hesitate to arrest it directly, we don't have any room for hesitation in this matter." ”

"I know." Zhao Gong bowed slightly, and then said softly: "In fact, there are many people who know about this matter, but everyone tacitly agrees not to talk about it. ”

"That's fine." Li Xuan sighed lightly and said: "As long as Ming Chongyan is destroyed and all the people who spread rumors are destroyed, then all that is left is the truth of the matter, and it must be the truth of the matter, and there is no room for hesitation." ”

Li Xian must be the son of Empress Wu.

There is no room for any questioning of this.

Whether it is now or in the future, Li Xuan must ensure this, because this matter is related to the emperor.

"Good!" Zhao Gong nodded, and then said, "That big man, do you know where Ming Chongyan is now?" ”

"Where, where can it be, it's in Chang'an." Li Xuan re-lifted the curtain, looked at the lively Chang'an City outside for the New Year, and said softly: "The most in Chang'an City is the Taoist Temple, with Ming Chongyan's many years of operation, he can find a large and small Taoist temple to hide, which is enough for him to hide." ”

Speaking of this, Li Xuan looked at Zhao Gong with a solemn face and said, "Uncle, you must not be involved in this matter, whoever wants to kill Ming Chongyan will do it, we don't care, at most hide behind and provide some news." ”

Zhao Gong's expression suddenly became solemn, and he asked in a low voice: "Da Lang, are you worried that Ming Chongyan is not easy to kill, or are you worried about ......?"

Zhao Gong said, looking sideways in the direction of the palace.

Li Xuan nodded and said: "Ming Chongyan has been in the palace for many years, who knows what he has behind, maybe tomorrow, he will return to the queen of heaven." ”

Li Xuan is not mistaken, in the original history, after Ming Chongyan was killed, Empress Wu looked for the murderer for a long time.

In the end, he made a move on Li Xian, and the direct reason was this.

Therefore, although Empress Wu is angry now, she may not really want to kill Ming Chongyan.

What's more, Ming Chongyan may not be easy to kill, and he can be evaluated in the history books as a good servant to summon ghosts and gods, and be proficient in witchcraft, which is far from what ordinary people can do.

"I see." Zhao Gong was serious and solemn.

Seeing Zhao Gong write it down, Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, but another thought also floated in his heart.

Ming Chongyan's death, how did he die, who died at whose hands, and was it really Li Xian who killed him?

Li Xian finally completely assumed the anger of Empress Wu, was it for himself, or for someone else?

……

"Your Majesty has a decree to order the secret guards to be secretly judged, and at the same time there is a word, if the secret guards can't kill Ming Shiyin, let the king of Nanchang come." After Fan Lubing finished speaking, he looked at Ming Chongyan meaningfully.

Ming Chongyan's expression was calm, and he even brought out a faint smile.

Looking at the chessboard in front of him, Ming Chongyan said softly: "The people of the secret guard can't kill me, as for the king of Nanchang, he can't hide from the prince's affairs, how can he interfere, especially after this warning." ”

"Are you really a warning?" Fan Lubing walked to Ming Chongyan and sat down, looked at him, and said in a deep voice: "The scholar of the Guozi Prison, the supervisor of the Imperial History Observatory, and the Tubo State Envoy, the three sides work together, you are going to put him to death!" ”

"The scholars of the Guozijian and the Tubo people are indeed my hands and feet, but I haven't moved at all to supervise the imperial history of the Imperial History Observatory." Ming Chongyan's face finally became solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "This time someone intervened, originally the scholars of the Guozijian were just discussing in private, and the Criminal Department also intervened after His Majesty's order, but Yushitai did not." ”

Ming Chongyan pressed his hand on the chessboard, and with a little force, the entire chessboard was already a mess.

"I don't know that the intervention of the imperial history is likely to disrupt the progress of the dynasty and provoke the anger of His Majesty, so I didn't contact any supervisor of the imperial history at all, let alone let him do it." Ming Chongyan shook his head and said, "But on the contrary, he intervened, still in my name." ”

"Therefore, Your Majesty was very angry, and he had already controlled Zhou Wen before the Great Dynasty, replacing all the scholars who participated in the Great Dynasty, even the Shangshu of the Criminal Department...... If it weren't for the fact that the Great Dynasty had to have his appearance, he would probably have been controlled. ”

Fan Lubing stared at Ming Chongyan and said seriously: "You should understand that your own behavior is equivalent to complicity. ”

It is precisely because of this that after the end of the Great Dynasty, in front of Empress Wu, the emperor coldly issued an order to Yuan Wanqing, asking him to take Ming Chongyan's life.

"Someone added a chess piece to it, think about it, if it weren't for the intervention of the supervising imperial history, the situation would not be like this, and even everything would be under control." Ming Chongyan was a little helpless, just someone added a chess piece to the chessboard, and Ming Chongyan was sent to a near desperate situation.

"Who do you think it will be?" Fan Lubing spoke directly.

"In the whole court, there don't seem to be many people in this style, but in fact there are quite a few." Ming Chongyan sighed lightly and said, "The most directly related to this matter are Zhang Da'an and me. ”

"Zhang Da'an?" Fan Lubing's face was full of surprise: "Didn't Zhang Da'an already go to Changzhou?" ”

"It's not uncommon to have clever tricks." Ming Chongyan shook his head slightly and said, "The next possible thing is the King of Nanchang and Yuan Wanqing." ”

"The two of them?" Fan Lubing's mouth was already wide in disbelief.

"Although the king of Nanchang does not make many moves in the court, he has a sharp battlefield style, has always pointed to the key points, and has a long-term strategy, if he is attentive to the court, it is actually not unusual."

After a pause, Ming Chongyan said with a solemn face: "Actually, I suspect that Wan Qing is doing it, after all, now he wants to completely eliminate my power in the secret guard." ”

Fan Lubing was silent for a moment, and after a while, he said softly: "Actually, I know that you came to me today to guard against him. ”

"He wants to go up too." Ming Chongyan sighed lightly and said: "Wu Chenghei, Pei Yan, Zhang Da'an, Liu Xianli, staring at Shangshu's position, staring at the prime minister's position, staring at the prime minister's position, but only him, for many years, has been suppressed by me, and now he is just a writer." ”

"Originally, he had a chance this time, but His Majesty transferred Cen Changqian back." Fan Lubing knew that Yuan Wanqing had missed the opportunity this time.

Author Lang, from the five products.

The secretary supervises the consul of the Writings Bureau.

Further up, there is not much chance of being promoted to secretary and supervisor, but there is a great chance of being promoted to secretary and junior supervisor.

But it's a pity that although Wu Chengsi moved, the secretary and young eunuch didn't, and Yuan Wanqing naturally couldn't move.

"Who else do you think there is besides the two of them?" Fan Lubing debunked the topic.

"Prime Minister." Ming Chongyan's face was full of wry smiles, and he said: "The left minister is the head of all the prime ministers, and he wants to maintain the majesty of the political hall; There is also Zhongshu Ling, Hao Xiang is afraid that he is thinking of last year's events, and finally Zhang Xiang, after all, he used to be Dali Siqing, one of the three law divisions. ”

Fan Lubing was speechless for a while, Ming Chongyan offended so many people at once, no wonder he couldn't figure out who was attacking him for a while.

Collecting his thoughts, Fan Lubing asked, "What are you going to do next?" ”

"Let's get out of the way." Ming Chongyan groaned and said, "If it is a few prime ministers, after this time, they should not make another move." ”

"The government is busy, so at most ask about it." Fan Lubing nodded in agreement.

"The king of Nanchang will leave Beijing on the ninth day of the first month, and after leaving Beijing, he will no longer pose any threat to me." Ming Chongyan's words were categorical.

"Probably." Fan Lubing didn't really believe in Ming Chongyan's judgment, but he didn't refute it, just followed up and said: "You have too many enemies now, don't attack the king of Nanchang, don't forget, there are also people in the secret guards staring." ”

"Zhao Gong, the court's doctor." Ming Chongyan had to nod, and then he spoke again: "And Zhang Da'an, I have to stop fighting, and his methods are even more useless." ”

"He is far away in Changzhou, and the whip is beyond his reach." Fan Lubing was not too worried about Zhang Daan.

Ming Chongyan sat there and said softly: "Indeed, Zhang Da'an and the King of Nanchang don't have to worry. ”

"In the end, there was only one person left." Fan Lubing's face was full of worry.

Yuan Wanqing, who is also one of the North Gate Bachelors.

"So, I need you to help me, so that Wanqing can't find me." Ming Chongyan looked at Fan Lubing seriously.

"Two months." Fan Lubing looked at Ming Chongyan and said, "Next month, as long as you find a way to stuff him into the spring, then at least for two months, he won't be able to take care of anything else." ”

"I know what to do." Ming Chongyan nodded quickly, he already had an idea in his mind.

Fan Lubing immediately understood that Ming Chongyan still had a lot of manpower available in the court.

"I'll also help with it here, after all, spring is more important." Fan Lubing added.

"There's another thing." Ming Chongyan looked at Fan Lubing and said seriously: "At the moment, only you can help in this matter." ”

"Don't go too far."

Ming Chongyan smiled and said softly: "It's not too big, I just want you to send someone to the Tai Palace, a scholar who has been cleared of his school status, and he has not entered the palace as a slave, and he will find a way to transfer people to the East Palace." ”

Fan Lubing's brows furrowed: "What do you want to do?" ”

Ming Chongyan said lightly: "The water drops are just worn by the stone." ”
