Regarding the case of Feng Bozhang's collusion with Pan Rei, it was finally found by the Dali Siqing to be a tenant and a bite, and it was Pan Rei who plotted ill intentions to make trouble but did not end it, not to mention the common people, the vast majority of courtiers and officials did not even hear about it, but on the seventh day of June in the fifth year of Lixin, the charges against Xue Qian and Feng Bozhang were finally agreed, and Feng Bozhang was directly involved in the crimes of corruption and deception, and was executed immediately. Although Xue Qian had covered up Liu Du and committed the crime of dereliction of duty such as improper promotion, in the end, because he did not involve the evil behavior of embezzlement and deception of the people, he was given a light punishment, and was demoted to join the army as a Qiongzhou clerk, and immediately went to his post without staying in Beijing.

The treatment of Xue Qian seems to be light, not only to save his life, but also not to reduce his position and seize the official, but just to be demoted, but Qiongzhou, which is subordinate to Lingnan Province, has always been a place of distribution and exile, and the officials who have been demoted here, if there is no accident, they will all end up sick and old in a foreign land, and rarely have the opportunity to be promoted.

With the death and depreciation of these two major leaders, the liquidation of all officials involved in the crime was undoubtedly launched immediately, and there was a rumor in the court for a while, although the officials recommended by Feng Xue over the years were all in danger, but there were also many old party members of the Queen Mother, or officials who were about to defect to the Queen Mother undoubtedly saw a good opportunity for promotion, Wei Yuanping and Mao Wei, including Li Ziyuan and even Lingnuan Gong's mansion, were full of traffic.

It's really two heavens of ice and fire.

Although the boiling since May has not ended, Eleven Niang is no longer as dedicated to the wind and grass as some time ago, and it is only at this time that her heart hanging in her throat has completely fallen, the Xue family has not been implicated, Xue Qian can actually save his life, and the "Bao Xue" plan is considered a great success.

As for how many people have been degraded, and how many people have suddenly become green, there is no need for Eleven Niang to pay attention to it for the time being.

But because of Wei Yuanping's popularity, even He Zhan, a white-bodied scholar who was close to Wei Xiang's youngest son, also took the "chicken dog ascending to heaven", in front of the closed gate of Shangqingguan, there was actually a busy queue of traffic, Yingyang Zhenren was very annoying, and simply took Eleven Niang to avoid living under the fence, although Yingyang strictly ordered He Zhan not to follow, so as not to provoke the group of mosquitoes and flies to Fanchuan, but He Zhan followed the other garden with a dead face every two days, and begged for mercy for a while: "Aunt is good, the purpose of those people is nothing more than to borrow me to climb Wei Yuanping, I can't agree to this, lest I be discussed for bribery, and my reputation will be ruined before I get out of office, but I will be so troubled that I will be uncomfortable...... I promise that it was because they were misled to Zhupo Villa that the golden cicada came out of its shell, and those people surrounded it in Zhupo, and they would never follow Fan Chuan. ”

Yingyang Zhenren glanced at He Zhan angrily: "You can stay in Zhupo, what do you have to do here?" ”

"Isn't it lonely for me to live there alone, in this situation, I can't go to Pingkangfang to have fun, I have to be careful when I show my face, so I can live under the fence with my aunt, and I can still play chess with my aunt, right?"

As soon as Yingyang heard that He Zhan took the initiative to mention the chess game, she didn't drive people away again, and the very eye-catching Eleven Niang immediately turned around to get the chess pieces, but she avoided it from afar, only letting He Zhan suffer there.

It was easy to get out after lunch, He Zhan glared at Eleven Niang and complained: "The reason why I came here with me is that I am in a hurry to tell you that the girl has no righteousness at all." ”

"But what happened in the palace, since Feng Bozhang was sentenced to death, these days are too calm."

"It's all boiling, but it's calm to you." He Zhan couldn't cry or laugh, but suddenly lowered his voice: "The Chang Dynasty that has lasted for nearly five years has now stopped again!" The Son of Heaven has not been to the court for three consecutive days, and I heard that it ...... The dragon is sick. ”

Eleven Niang was not surprised: "It was in our expectation, this is the purpose of the Queen Mother's placement of the tenant, she knew that He Yan was weak, and because of remorse, she was bound to be reluctant to re-mention the old case, and it was impossible to issue an edict to exterminate the Xue family, such a persecution, He Yan was no longer helpful, and had no choice but to be in good health, and let the Queen Mother cut off the government, look at it, Xu will look at the Japanese court meeting in a few days, and the Son of Heaven may officially announce the order, I don't know where to go to another palace to recuperate, and transfer the state government." ”

"Cowardly to this point, our son of heaven is indeed not suitable to occupy that throne." He Zhan said these rebellious words, and his face was inevitably angry, so he was silent for a while before he was in the mood to speak: "The Queen Mother has been dormant for nearly five years, and now she has seized power in one fell swoop, do you think she will take this opportunity to directly announce the dynasty?" ”

"He Yan is already in a slump, it doesn't matter to us whether the Queen Mother is in the dynasty or not, how to act and how to act, only according to my speculation, the defeat five years ago will make the Queen Mother more cautious, although she forced He Yan to hand over power, but if she comes to the court directly, it will inevitably be too obvious, so the Queen Mother will most likely be gradual." Eleven Niang raised her eyebrows slightly: "First openly involved in politics, and then accumulate prestige, wait until the Manchu Dynasty is all respectful, and then the Son of Heaven will simply propose that the Queen Mother will come to the dynasty in the name of long-term illness and inability to govern." ”

He Zhan bowed: "At present, although the Son of Heaven has suffered heavy injuries, at least some of the officials recommended by Xue Qian are still loyal and upright, and they have not been involved in this matter, for no reason, and the Queen Mother has no excuse to depose them all, at this time, if you declare that the dynasty is indeed too impatient, it may cause criticism." ”

"Regardless of whether the Queen Mother is in the dynasty or not, our purpose at this time is still to accumulate strength and win the trust of the Queen Mother, in fact, the Queen Mother's seizure of power this time is almost a tear with He Yan, which is also beneficial to our plan, at least the King of Jin, if He Yan is in power, he will not have the heart to seize the throne at all, however, once the Queen Mother is in power, the King of Jin must make a painful decision, if he still does nothing but protect himself, his cowardly and incompetent brother, even if he has the determination, but he does not have the ability to help the King of Jin get the prince."

Eleven Niang raised a palm: "In the past five years, the Queen Mother has been bent on seizing power, and now that it is done, she will inevitably divide her attention a lot on He Yan's heirs, at most a year later, He Yan still has no heirs, the Queen Mother is afraid that she will not hesitate to borrow drugs, and it will also contribute to He Yan's favor in the harem, at that time, the secret of He Yan's heirs will not be able to be hidden, and it will inevitably be another vicious wave." ”

"Then wouldn't the King of Jin die nine times?" He Zhan frowned.

"With the Son of Heaven to protect it, He Ye will not die inexplicably, and He Ye's reputation for violence, how many of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are willing to recommend and follow? Only at that time, He Ye wants to get the prince, and the secret dispute with the queen mother will become a clear fight, although the Son of Heaven can protect him from being poisoned, but it is very difficult to successfully establish He Ye as the prince, and besides, He Yan can even be forced to hand over the military and political power, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not hesitate to take into account the relationship between mother and son. ”

"According to what you say, the next battle for storage space is the key."

"Therefore, you and Brother Lu and Wang Qilang must join the government as soon as possible, this is an opportunity, and we must also strive to become the Queen Mother's henchmen within a year, so that it is possible to secretly help and play a role at a critical moment."

He Zhan bowed his head slightly, and after pondering for a while, he asked, "You have already decided to assist King Jin?" ”

"That also depends on the next situation, whether He Ye has the determination or not, I can only say that in addition to assisting the King of Jin, I don't see any other shortcuts." Eleven Niang held her forehead and sighed old-fashionedly: "I really want to directly rebel and overturn the world, but it is undoubtedly a fool's dream." ”

"But Eleven Niang, have you ever thought that even if we can really assist He Ye to ascend the throne in the future, he will certainly not shelter the Empress Dowager Wei, but he may not be for Pei Zheng Zhaoxue, after all, the one who convicted and executed the two clans was He Yan, the Son of Heaven, and with He Ye's brotherhood for the Son of Heaven, it is very likely that he will oppose the retrial of the old case because of He Yan's reputation."

Of course, Shi Niang knew that He Zhan's questioning was by no means unfounded, and she bowed her head heavily: "I have thought about it, so, once we decide to assist the King of Jin, then the Princess of Jin can only be me in the future." ”

"Beauty tricks?" He Zhan raised his eyebrows.

was met with a merciless white eye: "Of course he has to hide He Ye for Pei Zheng Zhaoxue's matter, if he doesn't want to take the throne, everything is in vain, but if he wants to become the emperor, I am the queen, and then you can arrange a temptation first, if He Ye is not willing to look through the old case, then I'm sorry, this matter can only be done by me, the queen!" ”

He Zhan was dumbfounded, and it took a long time to support his forehead, and his other hand slapped Shi Niang's shoulder heavily: "Domineering, admire." ”
