Chapter 4 Your Majesty Death
Haoqi Building.
Nangong Qianrou and Zhang Kaitai, who returned to the Yamen, entered the Haoqi Building for the first time, led by Nangong Qianrou, the righteous son, and there was no need to pass it on, and they could go straight upstairs to see Wei Yuan.
Wei Yuan stood in front of a map hanging horizontally, his hands behind his back, his eyes squinted, and he didn't say a word. He's been in this position for half an hour.
This is an aerial view of the entire northeast, which marks the headquarters of the Witch God Cult and the location of the countries of the northeast. This kind of map lacks precision and can only be seen from a macro perspective, so it is not very valuable.
No matter how accurate the map is, it is a confidential object that countries have to snatch and protect when they break the dog's brain.
Footsteps came from behind him, followed by Nangong Qianrou and Zhang Kaitai's voice:
"Father-in-law. β
"Wei Gong. β
Wei Yuan didn't turn his head, and said in a deep voice: "Xu Qi'an's bones have been floating in the canal for more than ten years, so it is not appropriate to let them go for a long time...... Let his relatives be buried as soon as possible. β
If you listen carefully, there is a hint of pain in your deep voice.
Nangong Qianrou knew very well why her father-in-law didn't take a look at Xu Qi'an's corpse, her father-in-law was a person in power and a strategist, his heart should be hard and ruthless, and only a ruthless person could be invincible.
Wei Yuan should be an invincible person who will not be swayed by emotions.
The watchmen in the yamen, and even the outside world, hoped that Wei Yuan was such a person.
"Father-in-law....." Nangong Qianrou cleared her throat and said, "Xu Qi'an, you're not dead yet." β
Wei Yuan Huo Ran turned around, and the range of movements was so large that the green robe swayed.
At this moment, the eunuch's face was complicated, and his eyes were also complicated, stunned, puzzled, happy, and hopeful...... Nangong Qianrou had never seen such complicated emotions on her father-in-law's face.
But in just an instant, the eunuch regained his composure, slowly paced to the side of the desk and sat down, and asked in a somewhat stern tone:
"What's going on?"
Nangong Qianrou relayed Xu Qi'an's remarks.
Wei Yuan listened quietly, and immediately said, "Let him come to see me quickly." β
Nangong Qianrou nodded, looking at the huge, northeast bird's-eye map, "The spy thing.....
Xu Qi'an came back from the dead, should the Witch God Sect still fight?
"After the autumn harvest, the plan to fight the Witch God Cult remains the same. Wei Yuan's expression was cold, and his tone was full of strong confidence.
Nangong Qianrou and Zhang Kaitai retired, and the former planned to go to Xu's Mansion again, but as soon as he came out of the yamen, he met Xu Qi'an, who came on horseback.
"You're quite interesting," Nangong Qianrou sighed: "I don't know, I thought my father-in-law had taken another moth." β
Xu Qi'an sneered at each other and said, "The old yin and yang are old." β
Nangong Qianrou was furious, mistakenly thinking that Xu Qi'an was mocking him for his boy and girl, and her willow eyebrows were upside down: "Why didn't you die in Yunzhou." β
As soon as the words fell, Xu Qi'an immediately captured a picture in his mind: Nangong Qianrou raised her right hand, slapped her arm and slapped it.....
Xu Qi'an was blessed to the soul, his waist sank, his head was lowered, and he escaped from Nangong Qianrou's slap in a millimeter, and fled into the yamen in a puff of smoke.
"I'm too lazy to meet you in general, I'm going to see Duke Wei. β
In front of the four-grade golden gong, the operation of Xiuyi is already the limit, and if it doesn't slip, it will be pressed to the ground and beaten.
Nangong Qianrou looked at his back a little sluggishly, then lowered her head and looked at her hands...... Dodge?
The Divine Refining Realm is extremely sensitive to the perception of danger, and can easily detect the hostility and ambush around it, and even if it is blindfolded, it can fight in the chaotic army. When a martial artist reaches the realm of refining gods, his personal combat power will reach a small peak.
However, with Nangong Qianrou's four-grade cultivation, although the shot was reserved, it should have been easy to let the slap hit the target before a God Refining Realm martial artist realized the crisis and avoided it.
"How can it be ....." Nangong Qianrou frowned lightly.
.......
Xu Qi'an received countless surprised glances along the way, whether it was a watchman or a clerk, they looked at him dumbfounded.
The news of the martyrdom of Xu Qi'an has long spread throughout the Yamen, and in the past few days, everyone's after-dinner conversation, if you use the title of your previous life to write:
#ιζ! The gong Xu Qi'an returned, and the Duke of Wei was stunned#
#ειζ ιηιι£ε¨δΊε·εδΊδ»δΉδΊ, ruined his life#
But now, seeing Xu Qi'an, who had been dead for half a month, appeared in the yamen alive, and waved his hand enthusiastically to greet everyone, making people's heads full of question marks.
"In broad daylight, ghosts can also enter our yamen?
"What should I do, this is Xu Ningyan's ghost, let's not make a move, right? β
"Are you blind? There will be a shadow of ghosts? That may be Xu Ningyan's brother, how can Xu Ningyan have such a talent. β
Xu Qi'an came to Haoqi Building in the midst of a discussion, and the guards looked at him dumbfounded.
"I asked to see Duke Wei and go and report quickly. β
The guards turned around and entered the building step by step, and came down after a while, "Duke Wei, please...... Lord Xu, you're not, you're not ......"
Xu Qi'an touched his face and replied in a mellow voice: "I am Xu Qi'an's younger brother, and I am ordered by Duke Wei to take over my brother's position." β
"I see, Lord Xu's surname?"
"Xu Qian. β
The guard said in his heart, how does it sound like a girl's name.
On the surface, he was respectful and said, "Please come in." β
Entering the Haoqi Building and ascending to the tea room on the seventh floor, Xu Qi'an saw Wei Yuan, who had not been seen for more than a month, he was still wearing a gorgeous green robe, his temples were white, and there were shallow crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, elegant and handsome, he was an old handsome guy with good temperament and appearance.
With my current appearance, when I get old in the future, I will definitely be no worse than Wei Yuan...... Xu Qi'an clenched his fists and said loudly: "See Duke Wei for his humble position." β
Wei Yuan was a little dazed, and said gently: "Sit down." β
Unprecedentedly, Wei Yuan personally poured him a cup of hot tea, and said leisurely: "Let's talk about Yunzhou." β
This matter is a long story, Xu Qi'an told Wei Yuan in great detail about what happened in Yunzhou, including the identity of Li Miaozhen No. 2 and the identity of the Holy Daughter of Tianzong.
Except for the great relationship between the monk Shenshu, he did not have any reservations about the rest of the matter.
The main reason is that Wei Yuan is too smart, and if he hides too much, he will be detected. Moreover, the eunuch really attached importance to him and cultivated him, Xu Qi'an reciprocated the favor and trusted Wei Yuan very much.
Sure enough, Wei Yuan took a sip of tea and said, "Yang Qianhuan has been following you. β
Xu Qi'an was stunned at first, a little stunned, he was not stupid, he immediately realized something, and asked, "Why does Senior Brother Yang follow me?"
"Naturally, he won't follow you for no reason, and as far as I know about this person, he doesn't care about anything other than he likes to do strange things. Wei Yuan smiled unpredictably, "But what if it's the meaning of the prison." β
The Inspector knows my secret...... If he had instructed it, it would have made sense.
Xu Qi'an looked at Wei Yuan quietly, Wei Yuan, who was as wise as a demon, would he also notice some clues?
Wei Yuan didn't get attached to this topic, and continued: "As for that third-rank warlock, let's consider him a third-rank for the time being, I don't think he is Sun Xuanji of Si Tianjian.
"Still, it reminds me of something else. β
Xu Qi'an's spirits perked: "Please solve your doubts with Duke Wei." β
It's still Wei Gong reliable, the old silver coin of the Golden Lotus Dao Chief, and he is hiding it when he speaks. And Wei Yuan had little reservations about me.
"You are familiar with Chu Caiwei of Si Tianjian and Song Qing, do you know their respective identities. β
"Jianzheng's personal disciple?" Xu Qi'an asked rhetorically with uncertainty.
Not all of the white-clothed people in Si Tianjian are the disciples of the prison, just like the great Confucian of Yunlu Academy, who often gives lectures, but there are very few real personal disciples.
Song Qing and Chu Caiwei, as well as Yang Qianhuan, are the personal disciples of Jianzheng.
"Yang Qianhuan is the third disciple of Jianzheng, Song Qing is the fourth disciple, Chu Caiwei is the sixth disciple, and the white-clothed warlocks call her little junior sister. Wei Yuan said.
..... What's wrong with this? Xu Qi'an didn't understand.
"However, there are only five disciples in total. Wei Yuan said quietly.
This..... Xu Qi'an's pupils shrank, and he finally understood what Wei Yuan meant, there were only five disciples in the prison, but Chu Caiwei was six disciples, so what about one of them?
Where did that one go?
Yang Qianhuan is the third disciple, Song Qing is the fourth disciple, and Chu Caiwei is the sixth disciple...... That Sun Xuanji didn't know how many it was.
"Sun Xuanji is the second disciple. Wei Yuan said.
"Then, the eldest disciple and the fifth disciple are not known for the time being. Xu Qi'an said.
For a moment, the two did not continue to talk, and there was a brief silence in the tea room.
After a cup of tea, Wei Yuan continued: "It's not the right time for you to wake up. β
"Why did Duke Wei say this?" Xu Qi'an didn't understand.
"Zhang Xingying wrote to please play, hoping that the court would posthumously seal you, and after Your Majesty and the princes discussed, you will be named the prince of Changle County. In a few days, the decree will come down. β
Wei Yuan said helplessly: "Now that you are alive, the cabinet will most likely reject the holy decree, and Your Majesty will most likely accept it." β
"What is this, as long as there is a lot of silver to be rewarded, I will do it. Xu Qi'an shrugged indifferently.
The son of Changle County should be a viscount, and it sounds like a younger brother's title...... No, the son knighthood.
Later, when I met the officials with household registration in Changle County, we introduced each other, and the other party said: Ning Hao, I am XXX in Changle County
Xu Qi'an said: I am the son of Changle County.
Those who don't know how to do it still think I'm someone else's son.
Wei Yuan glanced at him: "Silver is just something outside the body, how can the meaning of the symbolism of the title be comparable to silver? Even if you become a silver gong and have power in your hands, your status is still not on the table."
"Only the title is the proof that you are completely out of the civil status and become a powerful person of the dynasty. If you are knighted, the Xu family will not be an ordinary family, but a powerful person.
"If you marry a wife in the future, a commoner woman will not be qualified to marry you. It must be the daughter of a wealthy family to match you. β
"Can you marry a princess?" asked Xu Qi'an in a low voice.
..... Wei Yuan bowed: "Theoretically, it can." β
It is impossible for a princess to marry a commoner, and her future husband must be a powerful person. Although the viscount is not high, it is also a knighthood.
"For some reason, Your Majesty doesn't like you, and if he doesn't want to, no one can do anything. After Wei Yuan finished speaking, he laughed:
"Luckily, you're not useless, and there's room to maneuver. β
"Gong Wei taught me. β
"Some time ago, a major event happened in the palace, Concubine Fu died unexpectedly, and her clothes fell from the attic. At that time, the prince was the only one in the house, and he was drunk. This case is very tricky, it is not only about the face of the royal family, but also involves the abolition of the crown prince, and the three legal divisions are unwilling to get involved, so they must passively handle the case. β
..... My mother, the crown prince insulted the emperor's concubine?
Xu Qi'an hurriedly shook his head: "Duke Wei, aren't you harming me, the royal scandal, how can I interfere." β
"It doesn't matter. Wei Yuan waved his hand: "All the civil and military officials know about this matter, and there are not many more of you." It's best if you can find out, and if you can't, just push it off.
"If you don't have the ability, you will be punished at most, even if Your Majesty doesn't like you and you don't make a big mistake, the viscount is not what he said he would behead, and the Xungui Group will not agree. β
I understand, what Duke Wei means is that if the emperor revokes the holy decree of knighthood on me and asks me to do things in the future, I will pretend to be dead and not accept it. First coaxed Emperor Yuan Jing to give me the title.
Then, on the grounds of inability, he will withdraw and retreat, and at most he will be punished and earn a knighthood for nothing.
Wei Gongzhen ..... Resourceful (old silver).
"The prince is Lin'an's brother. Xu Qi'an suddenly remembered the charming and amorous little fish he raised.
The little queen of nightclubs must be sad and helpless now.
"You don't have any entanglement with Princess Lin'an, right?" Wei Yuan squinted and looked at him.
"No, no, no. Xu Qi'an hurriedly shook his head.
Wei Yuan nodded reassuringly.
........
The next day, the Imperial Study.
"The three-day period has passed, and your reply to me is just a sentence of "the case is complicated and there are many doubts, so I ask for a few more days"?"
Emperor Yuan Jing smashed a few folds on the three ministers.
The excerpts submitted by Dali Siqing, Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and Wei Yuan are surprisingly consistent, as if they copied each other's homework, and the copied answers were still wrong.
Emperor Yuanjing slapped the table angrily.
The Shangshu of the Criminal Department said ashamedly: "Your Majesty, there are many suspicious points in this case, and there is a lot of fog, and Wechen has done his best. Please ask Your Majesty to give me a few more days. β
Dali Siqing said: "Weichen is not capable enough, and he asks to return to his hometown." β
"You ......" Emperor Yuan Jing waved his hand, swept the folds, pen, ink, paper, and inkstones on the table to the ground, and trembled with anger:
"I'm going to kill you. β
The three ministers immediately knelt down and shouted: "It's not a pity for Weichen to die, Your Majesty takes care of the dragon's body." β
Is this the right line?
Emperor Yuanjing was angry.
The ministers on both sides looked at each other, noses and hearts, and the people who had always liked to raise the bar with Wei Yuan stopped talking.
Of course, this case still has to be dealt with, but the opinions of all parties are not yet unified, and the prince and his faction are thinking about how to get rid of this prince.
The rest of the factions pondered which of the princes would be the future prince if the crown prince was abolished.
There are different ideas, but one thing that everyone tacitly acknowledges, is to put things off first. Concubine Fu's death is not important, what matters is the dispute over the national capital involved after this case.
It would be a bloody storm like that of Jingcha.
The parties need to take the time to deliberate, to take sides, to set up.
In a situation like this, even Emperor Yuan Jing can only be incompetent and furious, unless he doesn't want the truth and deposes the crown prince on the spot...... But most of them will be rejected by the cabinet.
"Your Majesty, don't be impatient, Weichen has something to say. Wang Shoufu came out of the ranks, and lightly exposed the case of Concubine Fu for the time being, and said:
"As far as Weichen knows, Xu Qi'an, the gong who beat the yamen, did not die in his post. In yesterday's strange resurrection, the matter of knighthood, please withdraw it from Your Majesty. β
In the imperial study, the whispers of the ministers sounded.
The gong surnamed Xu is not dead yet? Dali Siqing and Shangshu of the Criminal Department are in a complicated mood.
Emperor Yuan Jing was stunned for a moment, restrained his anger, looked at Wei Yuan, and said in a deep voice: "Wei Qing, is Shoufu's words true?"
"It's true. Wei Yuan made a move.
Immediately, one of them came out of the matter and said loudly: "Zhang Xingying lied about the case and deceived His Majesty, please punish Your Majesty." β
Emperor Yuan Jing ignored it, looked at Wei Yuan, and continued to ask, "Why is this so?"
"Xu Qi'an did not die, before fighting to the death with the rebels, he took Si Tianjian's rebirth pill, and after exhaustion, he entered a state of suspended animation, and he didn't wake up until yesterday. Zhang Xingying mistakenly thought that Xu Qi'an was martyred, which is not to blame him. Wei Yuan explained.
Birth pills..... When Emperor Yuan Jing heard this, he responded as if he had eaten a fly.
At the beginning, he begged for this medicine like the prison, but the prison did not give it, and it was said that it was gone.
But now, a mere gong has actually eaten the panacea he couldn't ask for.
"How did he get the medicine. The corners of Emperor Yuanjing's mouth twitched.
"Chu Caiwei of Si Tianjian gave it. Wei Yuan replied.
Emperor Yuan Jing pondered for a few seconds and nodded slowly: "The matter of the knighthood is withdrawn." In addition, with the gong Xu Qi'an, come and see me quickly. β
Wei Yuan nodded quietly and said, "Yes." β
........
Xu Qi'an received the summons, arrived at the palace before noon, and after Yu Linwei verified that he was behind him, he was released into the palace.
Inside the city gate, Da Qingyi stood with his hands in his hands, waiting for a long time, and Nangong Qianrou stood beside him.
Xu Qi'an hurriedly stepped up and shouted, "Duke Wei." β
Wei Yuan bowed: "Your Majesty summoned you for the case of Concubine Fu." After a pause, he said meaningfully: "The matter of knighthood has been withdrawn." β
It's really withdrawn, it's been three days since this message was sent, and this can be withdrawn, unruly...... Xu Qi'an complained in his heart and said:
"I see. β
As Wei Yuan came to the imperial study, Emperor Yuan Jing was not there, and the old eunuch in the python robe said: "Your Majesty is in Lingbaoguan, meditating with the national teacher, and will only come back in the afternoon, and wait." β
This is an hour.
.......
Lingbaoguan, after finishing the meditation, the energetic Emperor Yuan Jing opened his eyes and sighed: "National Teacher, when will I be able to form a golden pill?"
Under the robe, it was difficult to hide his plump body, and Luo Yuheng, who was overwhelmed by the country and the city, closed his eyes, and his voice was pleasant and magnetic: "When can Your Majesty put down government affairs and concentrate on cultivation, Jindan is just around the corner." β
Emperor Yuan Jing stared at the beautiful Dao Gu in front of him, her facial features were gorgeous, she had a seductive charm, and a little cinnabar in the center of her eyebrows was like a fairy.
Fairies who can be blasphemed.
Emperor Yuan Jing sighed again, in fact, he only needed double cultivation to go further. It's just that even if he is the king of a country, he can't force the head of the human sect.
Not to mention that the other party is a second-grade master, even if it can be suppressed by force, but the matter of double cultivation requires the cooperation of the two people's mental methods, and it cannot be forced.
"When will the national teacher be able to enter the first grade?" asked Emperor Yuan Jing.
Luo Yuheng shook his head slightly.
"Alas, the mind of the prisoner, I am becoming more and more impenetrable. On that day, I asked him for the pill of rebirth, but he didn't give it, but today I learned that a small gong can enjoy this elixir. β
Luo Yuheng opened his eyes and asked curiously, "Gong?"
Emperor Yuan Jing waved his hand: "This person is not worth mentioning, I will return to the palace first, and I will come tomorrow to meditate with the national teacher and enlighten the Tao." β
He drove back to the palace and received the news that Xu Qi'an was waiting in the imperial study, but he still did not pass immediately, and after a fine bath, it was finally late.
Inside the Imperial Study.
Xu Qi'an said loudly: "Humble to see Your Majesty." β
Emperor Yuan Jing stared at him sharply, did not mention the matter of the rebirth pill, nor did he praise the contribution of this gong in Yunzhou, and said bluntly:
"A few days ago, Concubine Fu fell to her death, there is another hidden story behind this case, I will give you three days to find out about this case. Otherwise, severe punishment will not be granted. β
Xu Qi'an immediately made a move, bent down at ninety degrees, and shouted: "Please give death to Your Majesty." β
