Chapter 501 Assassination
The political situation in the capital is not calm, and the mysterious court member Wang Yanzai is still very strong and intertwined. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Although Xiao Zhengyi and Zhao Yiming, as well as Yiwang Longwei, who is far away in Huguang, are all strong against Ying Shaoyan, who has already sealed An Guogong, the hostile forces accumulated over the years are not so easy to be eliminated at once, and Ying Shaoyan also has a headache.
Ah Yi continued to prescribe medicine to him, but his body was already sick, and his internal strength was drained at the beginning, and he was injured by Wang Yikai's palm qi when he performed evil skills, and the damage to his body was too great to be made up for at once. Meng Xue took good care of him and stewed countless tonic soups for him, but he still couldn't recover his already very weak body. However, his heart was warm, and he always said to Meng Xue: "I drank too much medicine and soup, and when I walked, I felt that my stomach was always wandering." Meng Xue was still gentle and gentle as usual, and said softly: "Cousin, your body is important. You have to deal with official business until late at night every day, how can you not make up for it?"
Ying Shaoyan pinched her face, looked at her carefully, and said in a trance: "Ah, it's really you, Xiaoxue." I'm afraid that one day when I open my eyes, you'll run away again. Meng Xue laughed silently and snuggled up to his chest.
Meng Xue was only ten years old when she came to Xiyuzhou, and she encountered a strange environment full of wind and sand in the north, and she never took care of her parents and her brother who was away from home all day. Only Ying Shaoyan was patient and meticulous to be considerate of her, cherishing her like a fragile glass doll, and never ignoring her even the smallest needs. As long as it is her business, he will do everything personally and personally. Meng Xue was attached to her cousin from the bottom of her heart, but unfortunately their congenital lack of affection cruelly affected the relationship between the two people. Ying Shaoyan actually cherished that they could be together in his heart, and he carefully held the glass doll, afraid that she would be broken at any time. But he had such a serious concern that when he suddenly left her to save others, he couldn't take care of the most cherished glass doll. Fortunately, the dynasty was calm, and Haixi was also calm. He could finally continue to love his glass doll, and even if she sat there quietly without speaking, he could laugh happily when he looked at her.
After staying in the most important position of the dynasty for a long time, Ying Shaoyan began to become moody, and even always had a calm face, seeing through the red dust, which made the people around him feel that this little Ying was really unpredictable. In addition to being very respectful to the emperor, he is also polite and respectful to his colleagues. So everyone in the world knows that An Guogong is harmonious, but it is difficult to approach. Only for close elders like Xiao Zhengyi and Zhao Yiming, he will respect and say a few words of common life outside of official business. He would humbly ask them for advice when he was in trouble, but he tried his best to avoid any carelessness and inappropriate words and deeds in front of them, and he did not let them know what he really thought in his heart. He is more attached to Meng Xue in his heart, and he misses Meng Yu very much. The brother and sister are like his spiritual pillars, and if such a big thing happens, he will tremble when he faces Meng Xue, and he is always afraid that he will suddenly lose her again one day.
Sometimes when he suddenly woke up in a dream, he would immediately sit up to see if Meng Xue was by his side. Once he was awakened by a nightmare again, Meng Xue was also alarmed by him and woke up all at once. Seeing that his head was covered with sweat, Meng Xue asked in surprise and distress, "Cousin, what's wrong with you?" Ying Shaoyan was still frightened by the aftermath of the dream, and he grabbed Meng Xue's shoulder: "Xiaoxue, you won't leave me, will you?"
Meng Xue hurriedly put on his coat, picked up a handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat beads from his forehead, and comforted him softly: "Cousin, how can it be? You are too tired! Don't be so suspicious. ”
Ying Shaoyan hugged her thinly dressed body and buried his head in her arms, he didn't dare to think about that terrible dream for a while, the evil ghost who snatched Meng Xue away. He clung to her thin arms and lay in her warm arms and didn't want to leave.
"Xiaoxue, you must never leave me again! If you ignore me and run away again, I will really not live!"
Meng Xue also hugged him tightly, gently put her snow-white little hand on his head, and he buried his head deeper in her chest, only then did he feel so steady. Meng Xue silently stroked his thick black hair, he listened to her heartbeat clearly, and she felt the war millet in his body. Yes, he was so young, not yet twenty-five years old, and his hair was still so dark, but his state of mind was already very old and weak. And when it was daylight, he could only cheer up and go to the court to devote himself to the fierce and complicated officialdom battle that he didn't like, and there was no sword light, but it was still either me or you died.
Time also flies. Soon, Xiaoxiao gave birth to a fat son, Meng Dingguo finally had a grandson, and finally became a grandfather, so happy that he wanted to jump. Although Ying Xiuling was happy, she didn't look like her husband was crazy with joy, but said with some worry: "I have grandchildren?
Meng Dingguo hugged his grandson, pointed at her and said to his grandson: "See, your grandmother still thinks she will always be a young beauty!" The little grandson blinked his black eyes as beautiful as Meng Yu, and he couldn't understand his grandfather's words.
Later, Ying Shaoyan and Meng Xue also had their own children, who were also sons. It is not easy for such a weak couple to give birth to a healthy baby. It was all thanks to Ah Yi's careful preparation of the decoction that they finally bore this long-awaited fruit. At this time, Su Qiyun also settled down, and everyone was happy. Ying Xiuling wrote a letter full of gratitude to Ah Yi, and Ah Yi also replied, but there was only one sentence: "It's just a superfluous person, it's okay to do something superfluous." Ying Xiuling gave the letter to Meng Dingguo, but Meng Dingguo read it but didn't say a word, so he received the letter in the deepest corner of the study cabinet.
It's just that Ying Shaoyan still feels that it is very difficult to hold on to the court, but he doesn't say it to others. Even to his father, and Xiao Zhengyi and Zhao Yifeng, who have helped him in the capital for a long time, do not show half a word.
On this day, the emperor wanted to discuss the establishment of the prince, because Qingyu was not from the queen, and Zhao Lanzi had been supported by Du Yueying after his death, so it was difficult for the ministers of the court and the central government to reach an agreement.
Especially Wang Yanzai, who was extremely fiercely opposed, and a group of officials helped him. The emperor seemed to have completely ignored his close relationship with Shen Hechang in the past, and restored the post of state minister who had been abolished because of Wei Du, and Wang Yanzai took this pivotal position. His gang has always wanted to push another woman to be the queen, and it will be easy to control it with a prince in the future. And the emperor was frightened by Shen Fei'er, who was the mother of the world before, and had no intention of establishing a new queen for a while. Ying Shaoyan knew very well that Wang Yanzai had a lot of influence in the plot between Shen Hechang and the queen at the beginning, but he didn't catch the evidence. On the day when the defense map was lost, the emperor gave a banquet to the ministers, which was the excerpt on the king's words. But for him, it is not only the reason that there is no evidence, but that there are always forces behind him to support him, so that Ying Shaoyan does not dare to move lightly, and the emperor has an ambiguous attitude, which is even more difficult. He felt very sorry for Zhao Yiming for a while, Qingyu was born to Zhao Lanzi, and he was the oldest among the princes except Qingjin, and Zhao Lanzi was buried with the queen's ceremony. But because Zhao Yiming and Zhao Lanzi are close to Meng Dingguo, the emperor is naturally reluctant to establish Qingyu as the crown prince, and is always shirking and delaying, and he has no absolute influence to push Qingyu to the position of prince.
After the early dynasty, Ying Shaoyan went out of the palace and returned home in a sedan chair, sullen, he felt for a while whether he should join forces with Yiwang Longwei to do this. But he is a gentle person, and he is unwilling to do anything to force the palace from the bottom of his heart, but the emperor's obvious partiality makes him feel a fire in his heart. But if Qingyu can't be the crown prince, the future situation will be even more out of his control, and the situation in the country and the dynasty will slide in an unknowable direction.
Wang Yanzai rode on the horse quite proudly, although he was a civil official, he always liked to ride a horse and swagger. While calculating that his daughter will be seventeen years old in the New Year, he will mobilize a group of ministers to play the emperor, as long as his daughter is sent to the palace, the vacant position of the queen is in the bag. Although Du Yueying is favored, she is the daughter of a florist after all, and the competition for the second position itself has a natural weakness. He was glad that Zhao Lanzi was dead for a while, otherwise it would be even more dangerous.
He calculated so proudly, but before he could get far out of the palace, a fierce knife wind struck, and the pedestrians around him didn't see what was going on, Wang Yanzai's head had already fallen and rolled to the ground. The heads were rolling for a while, and the bodies still on the horses were splashed with blood and dust.
When Ying Shaoyan heard the news, he was first shocked and stood up. Then he sat down slowly.
He felt a little uneasy in his heart, as if he had a premonition.
When the emperor learned the news, he was also trembling with shock. Ying Shaoyan hurriedly entered the palace, he first greeted the emperor and was shocked, and then comforted the emperor that he would immediately send someone to find out about the matter, and then strengthened the guards of the palace.
