10. Shi Wentai told the old man to return to his hometown, and Han Ziling asked the rivers and lakes again

Taifu Ning Zuoheng entered the hall, and after the ceremony, Ning Taifu said: "Today, the old minister heard about the internal disputes in the court, and wanted to come to His Majesty to be bored, so he came uninvited. ”

The emperor was overjoyed and said: "The teacher came at the right time, the affairs of the DPRK and China have been very difficult recently, and he is helpless, dare to ask the teacher if there is a good plan?" ”

Taifu said: "Disputes between the DPRK and China are inevitable, but the recent incidents have actually started from Shi Wentai, and with the old minister's understanding of Shi Wentai for many years, he will never be able to do such a rebellious thing." ”

The emperor's face was slightly gloomy and he didn't speak, and the Taifu saw the emperor's face change and said, "The old minister didn't come today to intercede, just to relieve his worries." ”

The emperor said, "Please ask the teacher to solve your doubts." ”

Taifu said: "Shi Wentai has been in the center for many years, and he is upright, so it is inevitable that there will be disrespectful words. Seeing that the emperor was silent, he continued: "There is clear evidence that several people are involved in this case so far, and it is difficult for Your Majesty to cover it up, and it is just a thought to degrade or kill, but there is no lack of intriguing points. ”

The emperor's eyes were dark, and he didn't know what to think.

Taifu said: "The old minister thinks that His Majesty's imperial trial Shi Wentai can break this situation, and all the officials need is one attitude. ”

The emperor said: "Shi Wentai is so rebellious and rebellious, he still has the face to come to see me? ”

Taifu said: "It is precisely because of its madness that His Majesty's imperial trial shows the open-mindedness of my emperor, and since ancient times, virtuous monarchs have been able to tolerate people, and then achieve fame for thousands of years." ”

When the emperor heard this, he was very relieved and granted his request.

In the Zhengde Palace, Shi Wentai was handcuffed and shackled, bowed to the ground, and said: "The guilty minister knocks on my emperor, long live, long live, long live, long live." ”

The emperor said: "Shi Wentai, I would like to ask you, since I ascended the throne, I have been sleeping all night, and I have never slackened in my martial arts, why did I write a book to insult me?" ”

Shi Wentai said in horror: "The old minister was wronged, and the old minister impeached Chen Qingzongzi, the secretary of the ministry, for committing murder and forcing the good people to death, how could he insult His Majesty's words?" ”

The emperor said, "You dare to quibble? ”

Shi Wentai said: "The old minister will not dare to bully the king until he dies. "Then he said what he had done and what he had done.

The emperor's face was cloudy, and then he said, "Is there any evidence for what you say?" ”

Shi Wentai said: "Your Majesty said that the minister has no idea, the minister's chapter is not urgent, and it will be sent to the celebrant to be forwarded to His Majesty's Imperial Review. ”

When the emperor saw Shi Wentai's face, he knew that his words were true, and said: "You go back to the prison first, and then make a decision when I find out the reason." ”

Shi Wentai said: "Your Majesty Thank you for giving me the opportunity to plead my case. "After saying that, he bowed his head and thanked him, and was escorted down by the guards. The emperor sat uncertainly for a long time, and Fang said: "Pass on Prime Minister Han Chufeng." ”

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, everyone heard that the emperor invited him to see him, so Han Chufeng said: "Chief Manager Guo will wait for a while, and wait for the official to change into court clothes." ”

Guo Bao said: "Please hurry up, Your Majesty is urgent." ”

Han Chufeng responded and quickly walked out of the hall, asking the little servant to summon Xuan Mo to come to see, the two sides did not have time to greet each other, Han Chufeng said: "Emperor, please see, presumably things have taken a turn for the better." ”

Xuan Mo said: "Presumably, Shi Lao has already faced the saint, and the reason for this is clarified. ”

Han Chufeng asked, "When Your Majesty sees me at this moment, does he have the intention of temptation, and how should I deal with it?" ”

Xuan Mo said: "Your Majesty has both the intention of temptation and the heart of inquiry, presumably he will ask about the recent events, and he can guide him to fight for the party, and he must not say much, and beware of setting himself on fire." After that, Han Chufeng rushed out and followed Guo Bao into the palace.

After the ceremony, Han Chufeng said: "I don't know what is important for Your Majesty to summon the old minister?" ”

The emperor leaned on the collapse and said, "I asked you to retry Shi Wentai's case, do you have a clue?" ”

Han Chufeng's heart tightened, and he thought for a moment and said: "Interrogated Shi Wentai, he always shouts injustice, and the ministers are incompetent and have not made progress. ”

The emperor let out an "oh" and said with a little doubt: "He shouted grievances, what grievances does he have?" ”

Han Chufeng said: "Shi Wentai said that he impeached Chen Qingzongzi, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and did not insult His Majesty. ”

The emperor said, "What do you think of such a thing?" ”

Han Chufeng said: "The minister doesn't dare to discuss it, how can such a crime of disobedience be easily exonerated for it, but Shi Wentai's expression does not seem to be resentful, so the minister is confused in his heart. ”

The emperor said: "The prime minister is quite frank, I won't tell you, I have already seen Shi Wentai, and what you said is not far away, I listen to his words and watch his deeds, it is indeed credible, but the master of ceremonies is the center of the imperial court, this incident must involve a lot of things, among which the joint prime minister, can you understand?" ”

Han Chufeng said: "Weichen understands that this is a trigger that affects the whole body, and the minister understands His Majesty's scruples. ”

The Emperor said, "Who do you think can intervene?" ”

Han Chufeng said: "According to the old minister, there are many people who can be contacted, although it is rigorous, but after all, it is not an urgent report, so the concealment is poor, as for who can have this means, there are not a few, but why is a Shi Wentai involved many officials, and then the report is very strange, where does the so-called real informant come from?" ”

The emperor said: "It seems that someone has been stirring up trouble and stirring up the storm recently, what is your opinion on this case?" ”

Han Chufeng said: "Since the emperor thinks that Shi Wentai is framed, then he will pardon him for the death penalty, but after all, the hundred officials can see it, and the joints cannot be explained, so I ask him to return to his hometown, so that the hundred officials can be convinced." ”

The emperor said: "The prime minister's words are very good, since Shi Wentai is not guilty, then he will be exempted from the death penalty, as for making him return to his hometown, I am afraid that the officials will be cold." ”

Han Chufeng said: "After all, the officials don't know the inside story, and they can't explain the joints, so it's the best." ”

The emperor ordered him to handle it, and then he sent the eunuch Pang Bo to ask the celebrant about the celebrant supervisor, although Pang Bo was terrified, but he did not show it on the surface, but said that he did not know, and the emperor had no choice but to give up.

So the twists and turns in the court caused by Shi Wentai's case were hastily ended in extreme absurdity, Shi Wentai told the old man to return to his hometown, the two major Shangshu were punished for three years, and the rest of the people were punished for one year, and then it was over, and the emperor strictly stated that the matter was understood, although the ministers had criticism, but after all, they did not dare to say it clearly.

Precisely:

The momentum was surging and he was imprisoned, and he returned to his hometown inexplicably.

In the Eldest Princess's Mansion, Pang Bo said with some displeasure: "Why was Shi Wentai's old puppet actually acquitted?" ”

The eldest princess said: "Today, the palace came to report, Shi Wentai is sage, you know the joints best, such a clumsy method can only work if His Majesty is angry and does not investigate, once many ministers are involved today, how can it work?" In the future, use your brain more and do less brainless things. ”

Pang Bo was unhappy in his heart, and said on the surface: "I wrote it down." ”

The eldest princess said: "It seems that someone deliberately disturbed the court this time, but it was just to rescue Shi Wentai, and to take advantage of His Majesty's reluctance to break this balance, the so-called imperial balance technique to achieve the goal." Pang Bo's desire for power swelled, one day is better than one day, and his heart is more active, and the two gossip, but they can't help but talk about clouds and rain, so they don't mention it for the time being.

In King Ning's mansion, King Ning said: "Today's court situation is really difficult to guess. ”

Huang Jinhong said: "I really didn't expect Your Majesty to close the case so hastily, and I won't refute it, it stands to reason that the accounts of the household department are clear, and Your Majesty should get to the bottom of it, but Your Majesty forced it down." ”

Anyway, there is suspicion and confusion between the provinces.

The emperor leaned on the collapse of the Yangxin Hall and asked Guo Baodao, "What is the movement of the crown prince and King Ning?" ”

Guo Bao said: "Your Majesty, I didn't go out again when I returned home. ”

The emperor asked again, "What is the movement of the Prime Minister's Mansion?" ”

Guo Bao replied: "There is no movement, Xu Xuanmo has not gone out for several days, and his maids have not gone out. ”

In short, the emperor asked about the mansions, Guo Bao replied one by one, the emperor listened to Guo Bao's reply quietly, his face was calm, but Guo Bao, who had followed the emperor for many years, knew that the emperor was the most terrible time at this moment, and the palace gradually fell silent......

It is said that since the snow came to the capital, Chen Ziyu's three souls and five souls were gradually lost, and he spent his time in the Sizhu Palace until he returned at night, and Chen Qing, the secretary of the ministry, was annoyed by Shi Wentai's case, so he asked Chen Ziyu to think about it behind closed doors and not go out, but Chen Ziyu relied on his grandmother to spoil him, Chen Qing was difficult to take care of, so he could only let him be free, and he was afraid of change, so he let the housekeeper stare at it, and it was nothing special. And the Sizhu Palace is becoming more and more noisy, and there are more good people who come here for recreation thousands of miles away, and the scenery is boundless for a while.

However, he said that Xuan Mo's injuries had not recovered until today since the last ambush, and the paper kite was relieved and said, "Childe has finally recovered." ”

Xuan Mo said: "Not only recovered, but also blessed by misfortune, and his skills have improved. ”

Paper Kite was sincerely happy and said: "That's really good, since Childe rebuilt the Qi Machine, he worries every day, this is really mysterious, Childe's injuries can be said to be broken, and they can gradually recover." ”

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the window, Xuan Mo signaled silence, only to hear Han Ziling's voice coming from outside the door, saying, "Paper kite girl!" ”

The paper kite quickly went to open the door and said, "It turned out to be Miss Han, please come in quickly." ”

Han Ziling said: "Today, Your Majesty quickly cut through the chaos and suppressed the recent disputes, but the result was unexpected. As he spoke, the two sides saluted as they entered the door, and after the salute, the paper kite walked to the window and pushed open the window, looking at the blue sky outside.

Xuan Mo continued: "What is beyond expectations, the emperor has always used the art of the emperor to trap himself, and what he wants is not that the mountains and rivers are peaceful and the people live and work in peace and contentment, but that the court is prosperous on the surface, with civil and military checks and balances, and courtiers quarrelling. ”

Han Ziling said: "What's the point of such a country? ”

Xuan Mo said: "Your Majesty may have been lost in the power of the emperor, and as for the Jiangshan Sheji, in his heart, it may be equal to the majestic imperial power. ”

After saying that, the atmosphere was a little dull, and everyone was a little lonely, and after a long time, Zi Ling asked, "Then why did you enter Beijing this time?" ”

Xuan Mo said: "It is difficult to explain a few words, but I promise you that I will never harm the world and harm the people. ”

Zi Ling looked at Xuan Mo's eyes, pure and deep, seeing that it was difficult to explore the roots, he could only give up, and said: "The affairs of the court are boring, why don't you talk about the affairs of the rivers and lakes with me!" ”

Xuan Mo said helplessly: "The affairs of the rivers and lakes are all illusory, why are you so funny?" ”

Han Ziling said: "What you said last time was very interesting, but it is impossible for the rivers and lakes to be so big that there are only a few people, so you can talk about it more." ”

Xuan Mo pondered for a moment, and it was really difficult to find a clue to talk about, so he only heard Zi Ling say: "Since there are masters in the rivers and lakes, there should be realms, can you tell me about this?" ”

Xuan Mo said: "The martial arts master is divided into four realms, one is the qi realm, the second is the god realm, the third is the virtual realm, and the fourth is the combined dao realm. There is not much difference between a product and ordinary people, not to mention. ”

After a pause, he said: "And the strength has nothing to do with the realm, but the realm that can be reached by the exercises and moves is different, and it seems that the four are progressing layer by layer, but in fact, there is a mystery in it, and it is not based on the realm." It's like there are many products in the world, and the six people on the Shenwei List are all first-class masters, and there is only one person in the realm of refining the Void and the Dao, and most of the rest of the people are refining the realm of the Void and transforming the Void, and they do not mention the heaven and the earth, and they have the perception of the Great Dao. But when it comes to combat strength, those people want to go not far away, each has its own merits, and if it is a battle of life and death, the outcome is unpredictable. ”

Han Ziling said, "What about you? Although the paper kite is always at your side, I believe in my instinct that you are not a weak scholar. After that, he looked at Xuan Mo with hope in his eyes.

Xuan Mo said: "I am indeed practicing martial arts, and I was fortunate enough to get a glimpse of the access control, and then something went wrong, and now it is not as good as before." ”

After hearing this, Zi Ling's heart tightened and waited for the following.

I only heard Xuan Mo say: "I once entered the Tao with a sword, and I practiced the way of the sword, and I was able to improve rapidly, and I became one of the best in the world in eleven years. Looking at Xuan Mo's relaxed statement, but there were no emotional fluctuations, neither sad nor sad, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

Han Ziling said: "It's a pity, for what? ”

Xuan Mo said: "It's no pity, it's not a pity, it's not a pity, it's going to be rebuilt, there will be another one in the future, and then you may feel different and gain more, why bother with what you're losing, the road is ahead, and then you can walk through it." At this time, I saw that his eyes were blazing and full of light, and there seemed to be nothing to frustrate his sharpness, and then said: "As for the reason for being plotted, I have not found out who did it, although the incident happened in the rivers and lakes, but the answer is in the temple, which is also the reason why I entered Beijing." ”

Han Ziling said: "Are you for revenge? ”

Xuan Mo said: "I am here to say that it is for revenge, not for revenge, because my gains and losses are irrelevant, and more people are involved, so I have to explore clearly, and the people who plot are even more unpredictable, and the temple will inevitably involve the general trend of the world, if you don't find out clearly, I am afraid that the country will be turbulent, and the people will be uneasy!" ”

Han Ziling said with some surprise: "It has something to do with the temple? Who will it be? ”

Xuan Mo said: "What has been found so far is only known to be related to a one called the Hidden Spirit Gate on the rivers and lakes, and the Hidden Spirit Gate has an inextricable relationship with the Royal Family Huguo Temple, if there is a connection between the two, it will inevitably be related to the royal family!" ”

Han Ziling said: "There is actually a connection with Huguo Temple? ”

Xuan Mo said: "It involves a lot of things, the former prince is unwilling to go away with the same room, everyone knows where to go, but they don't know that the whole door has been destroyed." ”

Han Ziling exclaimed: "There is such a thing? ”

Xuan Mo said: "It's true, as for who did it, my father and the military advisor have been investigating for many years, and found the Hidden Spirit Gate, and later a sword ancient wood in the West Sea tracked down and found that the Hidden Spirit Gate was related to the Royal Huguo Temple, since then I have tracked down the Hidden Spirit Gate, I thought I wouldn't make a mistake when I first entered the ranks of the first product, I didn't want to be plotted by others, and my skills were ruined, and that person's martial arts were at least among the first grades, but Tianjitang didn't know who it was." ”

Han Ziling hurriedly asked, "Then how did you get out of trouble?" ”

Xuan Mo said: "Gumu's predecessors didn't worry about me, so they secretly followed, and they saved my life. ”

Han Ziling said: "You actually know the Xihai Sword Ancient Tree? ”

Xuan Mo said: "It's not intentional deception, but I don't know where to start, Gumu's predecessors traveled to the rivers and lakes and had no one to take care of them, and in those years, the Xihai fought for many years, and Gumu's predecessors' family was rescued by my father and military advisors. For so many years, the affairs of the rivers and lakes have been thanks to the help of Gumu's predecessors, otherwise it would be difficult to make achievements. ”

Han Ziling said: "It's really a good deed, don't ask about the future, General Zhuguo has worked for the well-being of the people of the world all his life, and he is really a good person." ”

Xuan Mo said: "I have told you enough today, I hope you can keep it secret, the matter in Beijing has just begun, and the calm is just because of many constraints, each with a ghost, just like this court matter is weird, as if this matter is just what we want, Shi Lao was easily saved, not because of my strategy, but because someone broke the situation and deliberately made it." ”

Han Ziling said, "Could it be His Majesty the Emperor?" ”

Xuan Mo said: "I don't know, maybe yes or maybe not, who knows?" ”

Han Ziling's heart was even more serious, what he knew today was too much for him, and he asked, "Does Grandpa know this?" ”

Xuan Mo said: "The prime minister naturally knows that your father's death was also very strange, and since then the prime minister has found my father, and the two have secretly joined forces since then, and there is some friction on the surface, just in case." ”

Han Ziling said: "What do you say, my father's death was not an accident? ”

Xuan Mo said: "According to years of verification, one of the strange things is that your father is an official and upright in the director of the capital city, and is deeply supported by the people, including tax reduction, building embankments, and suppressing the squire. ”

Han Ziling was unacceptable for a while, her eyes were dull, tears were full of eyelashes, Xuan Mo didn't speak, some things she needed to digest by herself, and some hurdles needed to be passed by herself, because the next step was dangerous, Han Ziling had to have her own judgment in order to rely on herself not to be used by others and become a weakness of the camp, otherwise any omission could be doomed.

After a long time, Han Ziling said: "I want to find out the cause of my father's death, I want to know what kind of cruel people stir up the storm and cholera." ”

Precisely:

Take advantage of the excitement and return to the defeat, and be shocked to hear the bad news and open your mind!
