☆☆☆
Li Xiucai's face was very pale, whiter than just now, his face was very thin, and his eyes were extraordinarily prominent, giving people a very gloomy feeling. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Without warning, Li Xiucai suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Ning Yifei's shoulders, Ning Yifei only felt that Xiucai's strength was amazing, and a hot tearing sensation came from his shoulder blades, is this still the powerless Xiucai?
An ominous premonition struck Ning Yifei.
Li Xiucai's mouth suddenly let out a sharp scream of "whoop", suddenly opened his mouth wide, and bit Ning Yifei's throat.
Ning Yifei struggled hard, he pushed Xiucai's forehead hard with one hand to prevent him from biting him, and at the same time kicked Xiucai's leg with both legs. In normal times, with Ning Yifei's strength, Xiucai would have kicked Xiucai over, but at this time, no matter how hard Ning Yifei kicked it, Xiucai didn't feel it at all, his face was hideous, and his teeth clicked.
Suddenly, Xiucai stiffened, and the fingers that had been holding Ning Yifei suddenly let go. Ning Yifei hurriedly pushed hard, and Xiucai pounced on the ground; Ning Yifei looked at it, only to see Yin Chen standing behind Xiucai, his right hand was drenched in blood, grasping a ball of things, and Xiucai's back showed a big hole, and the flesh and blood were blurred.
What Yin Chen is holding in his hand is Xiucai's heart.
Ning Yifei knew that if it wasn't for Yin Chen's action, he would be finished.
However, how to explain this to the sister-in-law of the Li family......

After the banquet, Chris said goodbye to Qin Yujiu and asked Gao Zunhui to accompany him to do something. By the time she returned to the palace alone, it was already late at night. After a busy day's work, she felt a little tired, and fell asleep. It's just that she doesn't know that she sleeps soundly, but someone can't sleep so late, and the reason for insomnia is precisely because of her.
In the corridor outside the palace wall, Wang Guangyuan hurriedly walked towards the palace gate. The official family was so eager to announce his entry into the palace, he could probably guess what it was for. No, it should be said for whom.
Obviously said that it was an urgent move, but the palace people who led the way slowly swallowed it. Wang Guangyuan naturally knew what was going on, and he couldn't help but murmur in his heart, the world was really cold, especially in the palace. In the past, he was deeply favored by the heavenly family, and every time he entered the palace, the people in the palace were very flattering. And now although he is the governor of Qizhou, he is the minister of expulsion. How did they, the eunuchs on duty on the periphery, know the inside story of their debasement, they just said that they were snubbed by the officials.
The chamberlain slowly led Wang Guangyuan to the imperial study, but Li Xian was already waiting outside the palace.
Li Xian frowned, he didn't need to ask to know that the eunuch who led the way had snubbed Lord Wang, and he couldn't help but glare at the man fiercely.
When he first saw Li Xian, the eunuch was taken aback, and said in his heart, why did Li Xian, who was so arrogant, come to wait for this lord Wang, who had been demoted out of the capital, and was so polite? Now that Li Xian was glaring at him, his face turned pale with fright.
Seeing the fear on the eunuch's face, Li Xian said with disdain in his heart: You dog-eyed thing that looks down on people, is true and false in this palace, false and true...... If you can see it, you won't be in this position, huh!
He didn't say much, just led Lord Wang inside.
When he arrived at the imperial study, Li Xian said in a low voice: "The official family is waiting for you! ”
Wang Guangyuan walked into the imperial study and saw that the emperor was reviewing the recitals, and there was a beautiful female official beside him, who was studying ink for him. The woman was wearing a crimson cloud brocade blouse with a pleated skirt of the same color, which was the service of the female official of the eighth grade. Because it was late autumn in the morning and evening, the jacket was covered with a dark red silkworm brocade gown with white raccoon dog hair, and the neckline and belt were decorated with a few South Sea pearls that were crystal round enough to be the size of a thumb belly. The snow-white beads are dotted on the new satin surface, which is very eye-catching. The emerald gold hairpin on her head and the pearls on her clothes reflect each other under the light of the candle flame, making the woman more and more rich and elegant.
Wang Guangyuan sighed in his heart: The pearl-decorated gown and the golden hairpin on her body are not something that ordinary female officials can afford, but they seem to be gifts from the emperor. Thinking about Li Xian's words just now, the sentence "no one else" is self-evident.
The woman's slender figure and charming face are really red sleeves and fragrance, which is exactly the lover that men dream of. It's a pity that I entered this deep palace, and such a posture may not escape the fate of being included in the harem.
When the emperor heard the movement, he looked up and immediately showed joy!
"Wechen has seen the official family!"
"Give me a seat!"
It is said that before the Song Dynasty, ministers sat when they met the king in the imperial study. Until Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin became the emperor, he always felt that the courtiers sat and talked to the monarch, and they looked idle, which also lost the monarchy. So he came up with a method that was similar to "releasing military power with a glass of wine". He invited a few old heroes who were dizzy at one time, and when discussing things with them, he specially took out a map and put it on the imperial case. Several old ministers couldn't see clearly, so they had to get up from their seats trembling and come to the imperial case to look at the map. Zhao Kuangyin had already arranged for a group of quick attendants to hide behind the pillars. When the ministers were together, the attendants secretly removed the chairs. When they were done, the ministers looked back and tried to sit again, but they found that their chairs were gone. At this time, they guessed the subtext of the emperor, and from then on, in the imperial study, the ministers would stand and talk to the monarch.
I want to sit, unless the emperor gives me a seat.
Li Xian moved the chair and said in his heart: Where has the official family ever been so kind to others? Except for Lord Wang, no one has ever had such treatment, not even Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu, who are well-known adults, have not had such honor!
Wang Guangyuan sat down and said, "I don't know if the official family announced that I entered Beijing overnight, but what's the big deal?"
As long as he thought that the most trusted person around him had to leave the capital, Zhao Ji was angry. Now I want to discuss things with him, and I have to be so sneaky.
This was a compromise that Zhao had to make in order to win over the power of the Empress Dowager. This matter all started because of Sima Guang's request to depose Wang Guangyuan.
When Zhao Ji saw this book, he was furious. He still remembers the content of Sima Guang's recital: "When a minister hears the government of the Ming monarch, it is not more important than to eliminate traitors, and the will of loyal ministers does not precede the elimination of evil." His Majesty does not know that there is no minister, so that he will be punished by the Constitution. Since taking office, it has been more than a month. And there is nothing to do, and there is great kindness. Fushimi Naolong Tuge, part-time bachelor Wang Guangyuan, with the quality of a villain, has the material of ingenuity, the outside depends on the government, and the inside is close to Xi ......" read the last paragraph "Since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has not heard of deposing treachery and evil spirits, and has warned the ministers. Guangyuan is in the middle of the court, and he is the most treacherous and evil...... "He is already eager to tear the fold in his hand and throw it out again!"
Sima Guang went so far as to call me "depose the treacherous and evil" and said that "Guangyuan is the most treacherous and evil person." This is purely slandering the good minister! Guangyuan assisted me with Han Wei when I was still the crown prince, and he always did his best. And once I ascended the throne, it was all up to him for advice.
Zhao Ji naturally guessed that Sima Guang's move must have been instructed by the Empress Dowager.
Hmph, driving away the wise men around me, just trying to control me, are you preparing to get the empress dowager to listen to the government in the future? The former Chaoren Grandpa spent more than ten years in order to regain real power from the Empress Dowager Liu, and now the queen mother does not mention the curtain, but the empress dowager wants to violate the rules of the ancestors? He gritted his teeth in anger and was resentful. After a long time, he calmed down and thought about it, and felt that there was something else hidden in the compromise. Could it be that the Empress Dowager noticed that incident? As soon as he thought about it, he was shocked and hurriedly called Wang Guangyuan for discussion.
At that time, Wang Guangyuan just smiled and said that this was not a big deal, and Zhao Ji was relieved.
Wang Guangyuan told him, "The Empress Dowager's move is not for you to see, but for the Baoci Palace." As soon as he said this, Zhao Ji immediately understood, probably because his grandmother was also afraid of the power of the queen mother, and deliberately made a low bow.
Although the emperor was relieved, Wang Guangyuan knew that if he only regarded this step as a "show of weakness", he would think too much of this woman who had experienced the Renzong and Yingzong dynasties. This trick of "retreating into advance" is really wonderful. On the surface, he drew a clear line with the official family and made his position clear to the queen mother, and second, he also looked at the attitude of the official family. If he is willing to give this step, he will show enough sincerity, whether it is sincere or not, but the two forces will inevitably join forces and reach a closer relationship.
What is the power on the Queen Mother's side, everyone knows in their hearts. It's just that recently, Baoci Palace has played its cards out of common sense again and again, disturbing a pool of water, making everyone jealous, and they can't figure out how deep this water is!
How to deal with this matter, Wang Guangyuan thought about it before entering the palace. It's just that this strategy really surprised Zhao Ji, and it was still a move to "retreat as advance" - Wang Guangyuan asked the emperor to depose himself.
Zhao Ji refused to agree at first.
Wang Guangyuan knew that the new emperor was young and vigorous, and his temper was very similar to that of his father, the former emperor Yingzong. Although both of them have loyal and honest faces, they actually have very tough and stubborn personalities.
He had no choice but to explain all the stakes, and Zhao Ji reluctantly agreed.
A few days later, Sima Guang wrote another book, still talking about this matter: "The minister has recently said that Wang Guangyuan, who is a direct dragon and a scholar, has been treacherous and treacherous, and has taken away his position and name, except for a distant prison dispatch, and has not heard of a command so far. The ministers eavesdropped, Guangyuan did it, and the news was in the sea. Your Majesty used to be in the palace, don't you know that there is more detail about the fake Weichen? The "Book" says: 'Let the virtuous not be secondary, and do not doubt the evil.' "This Dashun has become a great success. If Your Majesty does not know whether Guangyuan is virtuous or unscrupulous, and is still suspicious, if he knows Guangyuan's treacherous state, how can he repeat it and not go away quickly! It was Emperor Yao who was afraid of clever words to order Kong Ren, and Confucius taught Yan Yuan to be far away. Fu Yao and Yan Yuan are not unclear, and they are not afraid to stay away, but sometimes they are confused. Looking forward to His Majesty's prelude, his king Guangyuan was deposed early. ”
In the compromise, not only did he write down the specific handling of Wang Guangyuan clearly, but even the "Yao Shunyu Soup" was moved. Although Zhao Ji understood the truth in his heart, he was still worried about the fact that the Empress Dowager took her most important staff.
Fortunately, Zhao Ji has always obeyed Wang Guangyuan's words, and in the end he still acted according to his plan. After that, Jiang Zhiqi impeached Wang Guangyuan. Jiang Zhiqi's first identity is the imperial history, and the second identity is the "dragon man" of the prince's mansion, and the impeachment of Wang Guangyuan, who was also a member of the prince's staff, is both justified and reasonable. At the same time, this also secretly sent back a signal to the Empress Dowager, this is not a simple comply, but the official family is taking care of the overall situation.
The Empress Dowager's side reacted quickly.
But that's not all. Two days after Jiang Zhiqi's recital, Sima Guang published another book of "Yan Wang Guangyuan's Third Sword", the content is still the same as the previous eight or nine, but the focus is on "supervising the distant land", and Wang Guangyuan should be "released far away".
In fact, his own exile Wang Guangyuan was chosen from the beginning. Qizhou is not far away, along the river, the fast boat of the forbidden army can return to the capital in about two days, which is also one of the reasons why Zhao Ji is willing to let Wang Guangyuan take office.
Next, Sima Guang's impeachment was carried out in nine chapters, and Wang Guangyuan felt that the time was almost up, so he immediately ran to Yanhe Hall and asked the emperor for his resignation. The emperor naturally didn't allow it, so he stood outside the hall, and he stood all day. Standing until late at night, the emperor couldn't bear it, so he let Li Xianxuan Wang Guangyuan enter the palace. As soon as he entered, Wang Guangyuan knelt on the ground, crying and begging to be released. The emperor was also in mourning, and even the guards around him were moved to tears.
After this night, he issued an edict: "Wailang, Zhilong Tuge, and Wang Guangyuan, who is also a bachelor, know Qizhou." ”
Zhao Ji and Wang Guangyuan have done enough to play. The release of Qizhou made the emperor grief, crying and not letting him go. Who would dare to disobey the holy will and turn around and make the emperor angry again, who would dare to take this responsibility?
Soon, Wang Guangyuan took the post to know Qizhou. Zhao Ji still gave him a "museum position" and an octopus fish bag, which made the ministers know at the moment, so it was a reward, not a dethronement.
The matter is settled, and no one can stop it. However, Sima Guang still went on a note, and did not mention Wang Guangyuan's release of Qizhou, but talked about the irregularities of the gift. This time, he brought Confucius out again. It is said that the sage of Confucius once said, "Only the instrument and the name cannot be a dummy." The uniform given by the Son of Heaven is the "instrument", and the position appointed by the Son of Heaven is the "name". "Names" and "instruments" are like pearls and jades, these two are the most important things for the gentlemen of the world, and now a courtier who has been deposed and sent out can get them, so doesn't it make "names and instruments" easy to obtain like rubble, and how can the overflowing things appear noble? From now on, those who have been given medals and uniforms will be ashamed and not proud. The official family favors a villain like this, doesn't it make everyone in the world follow Wang Guangyuan's example? )
