Like Pearl and Jade - Chapter 62

Gao Luoguo ’s disappearance of the prime minister led to fierce internal struggles. A small number of people believed that this was the case of Dafengguo, but this argument was suppressed as soon as it came out.

Can such words, which may cause international disputes, be said casually? They were without evidence and the prime minister disappeared again in Gaul. From the evidence left on the scene, this matter also pointed to the party that contradicted the prime minister. This black pot Dafeng country may not be willing to bear it.

Dafeng officials attached great importance to this matter, and even the border officers and soldiers also entered a state of high vigilance. If Gao Luo would dare to commit an offense, they would counterattack.

The situation in the border areas is tense, and the interior of the court is not much better. The cause of the incident stems from the fact that the Qingbei festival caused Wei Ting to sue the Qingbei defense generals to pass the enemy and sell the country.

Wei Ting was born as an upstart, and he was quite talented. After being recognized by Sima Hong, he recommended him in front of Emperor Xian. Later, because Princess Fei was very favored by Emperor Xian, he was reused by Wei Xing even with Xian Emperor, and he was promoted to Qingbei Festival Make.

Shortly after he was promoted, Emperor Xian died of serious illness with the support of the Sima family. He has been sitting peacefully in Qingbei as an envoy for the past five years. Did not intend to move him.

Zhao Jin is different from Wei Ting. Zhao Jin is a real aboriginal, but he is a rare general. With his military merit, he seals General Sanpin Anbei and guards Qingbei Prefecture.

The two were summoned by the emperor and did not dare to delay. As soon as the horse rushed to Beijing, Beijing had just entered the early summer.

“General Zhao, please,” before entering the palace gate, Wei Ting turned to smile and made a gesture of invitation to Zhao Jin.

Zhao Jin’s expression was angry and annoying. It was just at the feet of the emperor. He couldn’t speak vulgarly. He just took off his saber and gave it to the guard of Zhuquemen. Then he didn’t look at Wei Ting. Palace gate.

“Oh!” Wei Ting saw him like this, sneered, and followed.

The two walked one after the other. The **** who led the way kept bowing his head. He never said half a word to them, which made Zhao Jin unable to grasp the emperor’s thoughts.

He is a General Sanbei Anbe. Since he was stationed in Qingbei Prefecture, he has rarely returned to Beijing, nor has he met the emperor alone. He has no connections in Beijing, so he doesn’t know much about the emperor’s temperament.

He was also very clear in his heart. Compared with Wei Ting, who had a Sima family behind him, he was afraid that he would be more fierce when he returned to Beijing this time. But even so, he had to make this clear before the emperor. Whether the emperor believed it or not, at least he asked for a clear conscience and hoped that it would not affect his family.

There is a rumor that the emperor is a benevolent prince. He also hopes that the emperor will be as benevolent as rumours at the moment, so that his family can save a life.

“General Anbei, Master, the Emperor Qiankun Palace is almost here,” the **** who led the way stopped and finally spoke to the two, “I must offend the two adults first.”

“It should be.” Wei Ting knew in his heart that they were not the immediate ministers before the emperor. When they met his majesty, they must search in advance to avoid carrying sharp weapons on them.

Because they are both top-ranking officials, the two who searched the body were the Dragon Guards. After the search, the Dragon Guards apologized to the two with fists, and then stepped aside.

Seeing this, Zhao Jin couldn’t help but think that the Emperor’s Guard was so rigorous and ceremonial that he wanted to come to His Majesty as a benevolent prince.

After the body search was completed, the **** led the two to continue to move forward, halfway, the **** suddenly stopped, and the tone was anxious: “Hurry away, Feng came over.”

Zhao Jin was in a trance, only to see a pedestrian coming in front. Walking in front was a beautiful lady wearing apricot-yellow palace dress. He didn’t have time to see the other person’s appearance, so he lowered his head and stepped back anxiously. .

The sound of footsteps was approaching, and a nice voice came into his ears, as if soft and soft with silky sweetness, just like the most tender sweet fruit in Qingbei.

“Wei Chen has seen the Queen Mother.”

“I will see the queen empress at the end.” He dared not look up, and respectfully performed a big gift.

Then he saw the pair of pearl embroidered shoes stopped in front of him, and only listened to the empress queen asked: “Are you General Anbe?”

“Back to Niangniang, the end will be exactly.” He didn’t expect that the Queen Niangniang had heard of herself, and there was a little excitement in her tone.

“My brother listened to you in this palace. He said that you are good at warfare. You have a hundred steps to wear Yang Zhineng. It is a rare talent.” Gu Rujiu looked at the middle-aged man in front of him. It looks as old as forties.

Zhao Jin remembered that the elder brother of the empress was Hongqing Temple Shaoqing Gu Zhiyu. Before going to Qingbei Prefecture, he had had several encounters with Gu Zhiyuan, but he only had a friendship, the other party was a family son, he was the only one The general who came from the cold, how embarrassed to be close to this kind of noble son?

So he didn’t expect the other party to rate himself so high, and he took a fist for a moment before saying: “It’s the uncle’s praise.”

“Generals don’t have to be humble,” Gu Rujiu saw the grimace in the eyes of the man with frost, and couldn’t help thinking, the general’s mind was really simple. She looked at Wei Ting not far away, and her tone faded a bit. “The two adults came to work hard all the way. The two have important things to do, so this palace will not bother me much.”

“Respectfully send the queen.” Wei Ting felt a little uneasy in his heart. The attitude of the queen’s lady to Zhao Jin was too gentle. It was not as gentle as treating a person who betrayed the country.

He dared not think about it any longer, followed the eunuch, and stepped into the door of Yushu Study.

The Yu Study Room is very spacious and bright, and the floor is clean enough to reflect the figure. Zhao Jin and Wei Ting both acted as emperors when they were headed upwards.

“Let’s get up,” Jin Marting threw a twist into the case. “Master Wei sued General Zhao for the enemy to betray the country. I don’t know any evidence.”

Wei Ting hurriedly put the previously collected letters into the tray from He Mingduan, and then said: “Your Majesty, this is a letter intercepted by Weichen, please check with the emperor.”

After looking at the letters in the tray, Jin Yang did not reach for them, but said: “Letters and other things can be forged, but Master Wei can have other evidence?”

“This …” Wei Ting looked up at the emperor and saw that his expression was cold. He didn’t seem to have much emotion about Zhao Jin’s affairs. He felt even more disturbed in his heart. reaction.

“Weichen also collected the treasures of Gaoluo’s royal family in General Zhao’s mansion. These things are not available to ordinary ministers,” Wei Ting arched. “It’s just that there are so many things that Weichen can’t carry them with him. on.”

“Did you find it at General Zhao’s residence?” Jin Yang raised his eyebrows slightly, not seriously. “You and Zhao Jin are both third-rank officials. Who gave you the right to let you search the general’s residence?”

“Your Majesty, Weichen is also a helpless move, so she has to make a decision.” Wei Ting was terrified. He did not expect that His Majesty was even troubled by this matter. He was anxious and chaotic, and he knelt before the emperor.

Civilians and military officials often have the same grade, but in fact, civil officials are more expensive than military officials. This is already the default thing in Dafeng officialdom, but in front of the throne, how can he say that the status of civil officials is higher than that of military officials?

“It’s a good idea, I thought Qingbei Prefecture was your world under Master Wei, and others were left to slaughter you,” Jin Yang snorted. “I’ve referred this matter to Zhang Xiang thoroughly. Before the matter was clear, The two of you are temporarily living in another building, and you ca n’t enter or leave without a comment. ”

Zhao Jin, who had been standing quietly beside him, was very happy and surprised. His majesty did not emphasize the text but the martial arts. The emperor was surprised that the emperor did not listen to Wei Ting’s words, but let Zhang Xiang investigate. Although Zhang Xiang has a gentle personality, he is like a cold man. At least from this point of view, Zhang Xiang will be much more fair when investigating the case.

“Yes.” Wei Ting looked pale, trembling and saluted. During this journey, due to heavy guarding, he did not have the opportunity to receive news from the capital, so he did not know much about the current situation of the capital.

Before, Master Sima said that as long as Zhao Jin was removed, the Qingbei defenders could be replaced by their people. He thought this was a trivial matter, because the Emperor Xiandi was not without a defensive army because he was “suspected” of besieging the enemy and betrayed by the Xiandi, so he didn’t think much about it.

Now it seems that things are not simple, and the situation in Beijing is far more complicated than one might think. It seems that His Majesty did not particularly trust the Sima family, otherwise he would not treat him with this attitude, and he also gave the matter to Zhang Zhonghan.

Zhang Zhonghan is a sleek old fox. It seems to be soft and easy to talk. In fact, a student with a humble origin can climb to the position of prime minister. Where can the means be less?

What’s more, Zhao Jin and Zhang Zhonghan are all born from the cold. If Zhang Zhonghan wants to keep the right to speak in the cold, he will try his best to protect Zhao Jin.

The more I thought about Wei Ting, the more afraid I felt, but the emperor didn’t seem to want to talk to him more, turning his head and letting him back out.

But he came out, and Zhao Jin remained in the Imperial Study. The emperor’s attitude was enough to show that he took a wrong move this time.

When he left the palace, he was taken by the Imperial Guards to another hall, and there were guards outside. He wanted to send a message, and he didn’t know what method to use.

Pacing around in the room and turning around the table several times, he thought about it and thought of no solution.

“Now, I can only hope that Master Sima can save me.” Wei Ting sighed. It was already early summer, but his chest was still a little cold.

After nearly two hours, he saw that the Imperial Guard sent Zhao Jin. The two lived in the same yard, but one was in the east, the other was in the west, facing each other, but not invading each other.

Seeing the polite attitude of the Imperial Guard towards Zhao Jin, Wei Ting thought of the cold expressions of the Imperial Guard when facing him, and his heart became more and more uncertain.

In the next few days, he could not eat well, sleep well, and lost a lot of weight. But even so, he was not summoned by the emperor, and Master Sima did not send him any hint of news.

He knew that he was finished.

Since the concubine Sun Taifeng entered the body a few days ago, Jing’an Palace became more and more bleak. When Gu Rujiu stepped here again, he saw the palace eunuchs listless and lifeless.

Upon seeing this, she frowned, ignoring the court attendants who saluted her, and walked towards the inner hall.

Toffee Sun was still lying in bed and recuperating. When she saw her coming in, she was panting and wanted to get up to salute. She was stopped by Gu Rujiu, “Lady Toffee, lie down soon, can she get better?”

“Thank you for visiting the Queen Mother, I am much better,” Mrs. Sun coughed twice with her handkerchief over her mouth, and then said, “The mother will go out sooner, so I won’t be ill.”

“Don’t worry about it, the palace has already asked the doctor, your illness will not be contagious,” Gu Rujiu said with a smile, “quietly rest for a few days.”

Mrs. Sun no longer coughed, put down the handkerchief that covered her mouth and said, “The lady is right.” She took a sip of the throat tea delivered by the court lady and slowly said, “The lady came today, I am afraid not just Visit my body? ”

Gu Rujiu smiled and sat down on the chair next to him, shaking the flower fan in his hand gently: “It’s worthy of being a concubine and always easy to see through.”

“The queen’s mother said a lot, and staying in this place for a long time, no matter how stupid one has to learn to be smart,” said Mrs. Sun, who looked at Gu Rujiu with a weird tone. . ”

Bai Xian, who came with Gu Rujiu, frowned immediately, and looked at Tai Fei with dissatisfaction.

Gu Rujiu smiled, instead of taking the sentence behind the concubine Sun, but said: “This time the palace came, I wanted to ask the concubine what she saw that night.”

Toffee Sun lowered her head and looked at her white hands: “I had a nightmare, I just dreamed about the old friend who had gone.”

“Oh?” Gu Rujiu said with great interest, “But Lin Fei?”

Hearing the word “Concubine Lin”, Sun Taifei raised her head violently and said to Gu Rujiu, “Queen empress, don’t mention the past as well.”

Gu Rujiu looked at the solemn expression of Concubine Sun and smiled: “The concubine is right, there is no need to mention it in the past.” She stood up. “Since the concubine’s lady is already in Da’an, this palace will be relieved.”

She asked the court lady to give the gift she had prepared to the concubine Sun: “The palace will not disturb, so the concubine will rest well.”

“Queen empress walks slowly.” Sun Taifei sat on the bed and bent towards Gu Rujiu.

After Gu Rujiu left, Tai Fei opened the gift box, which contained a centenary old ginseng.

“Hundred-year-old ginseng is really a good thing,” Sun Taifei closed the gift box and smiled. “Our queen empress is worthy of her parents’ love, and the emperor loves the blessed people so generously.”

“Mrs. Concubine, would you say that the Queen Mother really did not check what happened then?” The grandma beside her took the gift box in her hand and asked with some worry, “If she doesn’t check, you have arranged these Is n’t it a waste? ”

“She is young and loved by the emperor. It is the time when the scenery is infinite, how can there be no curiosity,” Mrs. Sun laughed sarcastically. “Isn’t this palace full of curiosity when she was as big as her?”

In the old things of the past years, as long as it is checked, it is to pull out the radish to bring out the mud, and then to involve the queen mother into it, causing royal scandals, would n’t it be more interesting?

When Gu Rujiu returned to Zichen Hall, Jin Mart had already returned from the Imperial Academy. When she saw her come in, Jin Mart said, “I heard you went to Jing’an Palace again?”

“As for the concubine Sun’s illness, the former harem knew that if I didn’t take a trip, wouldn’t anyone else gossip?” Gu Rujiu walked over to him and took away the notebook in his hand, “How can you follow me too? Miscellaneous books are coming? ”

“I’m training our common hobby,” Jin Yang smiled, grabbed her hand, and lifted her sleeves, said: “The old woman is crazy, and your wrists are so blue, and they are not yet spread.”

“My majesty, how can you say such a thing,” Gu Rujiu stretched out a hand to cover his mouth, and lowered his voice, “What an old lady, that is a concubine. If anyone knows that your majesty is so rude Then, you will be embarrassed. ”

“I’m afraid of losing someone,” Jin Yang asked He Ming to take the ointment, then dipped the ointment with his fingertips, and gently pressed the bruises for Gu Rujiu. “As long as you don’t want to lose this beautiful woman.”

“It’s over, I’m going to sit down as a deceitful demon,” Gu Rujiu giggled, and then said, “It’s all you hurt.”

“Incapable men can’t hold their own rivers and mountains, and blame women for misfortune,” Jin Yang smiled and shook his head, then said, “Don’t move, I’ll give you a good knead, otherwise it will hurt for a few more days. ”

“Actually, it doesn’t hurt anymore, it just looks scary,” Gu Rujiu had to sit upright and let Jin Yang help rubbing his bruises while eating tofu. “It was only when I came out of Yushufang that I touched It’s Wei Ting and Zhao Jin. ”

“What do you think of these two people?” Jin Yang lowered his head and gently blew on Gu Rujiu’s wrist, using a handkerchief to wipe off the ointment on other parts of her wrist. After wiping it clean, she wiped her hand and threw the handkerchief. To the side.

“At first glance, Wei Ting’s scenery is beautiful, and there is a gentleman’s wind. Zhao Jin’s appearance is plain, and his face is full of wind and frost. His words and deeds are not as good as Wei Ting’s style.” “But as far as I know, Qingbei Prefecture has a bad climate, with wind and sand in summer and ice and snow in winter. There are many people like Zhao Jin, but few like Wei Ting.”

How much energy does it take to raise myself white and tender, smooth and smooth?

If Wei Ting is really dedicated to the people, go out and take a few laps to inspect the people’s feelings. Under the wind and sunshine, how can you maintain the image of a beautiful and middle-aged person with a white face and a beautiful beard? Anyone who is born beautiful and beautiful, and goes to a place with a bad climate like Qingbei, will become rough-faced people.

After listening to Gu Rujiu’s analysis, Jin Yang said with a smile: “It seems that you appreciate Zhao Jin more?”

“Don’t Chenjun know that I have an old grudge with the Sima family?” Gu Rujiu dropped his hand and glanced at him. “Weiting is a Sima group, can I admire him?”

Jin Yang suddenly smiled, reached out to hug Gu Rujiu, and twisted on her like hemp sugar: “For a long time, it’s always been such a grudge.”

“Yeah, I can’t do it in black and white, and it’s okay to have grievances and grievances,” Gu Rujiu put his chin on Jin Yang’s shoulder and smiled. “The frontier soldiers threw their blood for the country, and the literary minister gave them a few words They buckled their hats casually, didn’t that make them bleed and weep? ”

“You are right,” Jin Yang said with a deep voice, “we can’t let these soldiers feel cold.”

The frontiers are suffering, and the military spending issued by the court every year is still being exploited by corrupt officials. When it comes to the soldiers, it is rare to have half of it.

At that time, Jinzhou also had a garrison army stationed. These soldiers were still wearing tattered singles in winter. At that time, he felt that these corrupt officials were really hateful.

If a country does not even attach importance to the military, what will it use to fight back when a strong enemy invades?

They usually treat soldiers harshly, and when the battlefield is desperately, these people are fighting to kill the enemy, but these corrupt officials have no worries, generously speaking on the frontier in the court, and making a patriotic gesture of loyalty.

Jin Yang gently caressed Gu Rujiu’s back, and his mood was a little agitated. For a long time, he always agreed with his thinking.

The husband and wife reached the same point of view, so they reached the most beautiful harmony when exercising on the bed. Therefore, in the early morning of the second day, although the civil servants and the military officials were arguing together, Jin Yang also had a leisurely mood to listen.

“Your Majesty, Wei Ting should not be imprisoned!” Officer A believes that regardless of whether Zhao Jin has succumbed to the enemy or betrayed the country, but Wei Ting’s heart is good, and his move is also for Dafeng’s sake, so Zhao Jin is locked away. The museum is just fine. Let’s release Wei Ting.

“A bunch of nonsense. If you frame the imperial court order at random for the sake of Dafeng, then can I also suspect that you are an enemy and a traitor?” The generals said they were very unhappy and depressed. Zhao Jin worked hard to guard the border for the country, but was framed by civil servants on unprovoked charges. They felt wronged in their hearts and bitter in their hearts.

There was no quarrel between the two sides, and even some civil servants were about to fight, but the scope of this hands-on was limited to the civil servant circle. It seemed that no civil servant had taken the initiative to engage the military officer.

Seeing that these people were really noisy, Jin Yang said: “If you want to fight, go out and fight again, don’t disturb the order.”

Hearing these words, those who had already started, and those who were ready to do so, fell silent, and then stood honestly, waiting for the emperor to reprimand.

Who knows that the emperor seems to be in a particularly good mood today, but he did not get angry or punish them.

“I know that all adults are dedicated to the people, but according to the state regulations, if Zhao Jin is a traitor, he should be ruled by law. However, if Zhao Jin is not a traitor, then Wei Ting is to frame the imperial court and order the law. You do n’t have to argue on this matter anymore. ”Jin Yang gently patted the armrests of the dragon chair.“ Now the Wei Ting people are in Beijing, and Qingbei Prefecture is my Dafeng Fortress. The top priority is to choose a Noson to temporarily replace the Qingzhou Festival. Degree. ”

The Sima Yi people suddenly felt something wrong after listening to this sentence. Within a few days after Wei Ting entered Beijing, the emperor was anxious to send someone to take his place as a temporary envoy. This is not to tell others that he does not trust Wei Ting?

Otherwise, why only let people replace Wei Ting, the official of the commission, and say nothing to the defensive general?

Some smart people have noticed that the wind direction is wrong, and the simpler one thinks that the emperor trusts Zhao Jin more. Both types of people have no opinion on the emperor’s decision.

As for the officials of the Sima Yi faction, although they were very opinionated, Jin Mart did not compromise, and ignored their protests. He picked an official to temporarily serve as Qingbei ’s governor.

Everyone knows that this interim will soon become an official ambassador, but the emperor has made up his mind that they will no longer object.

Jin Yang’s move made many military generals grateful. During the dynasty, these military generals saluted a lot.

Zhang Zhonghan looked at these excited generals and sighed in his heart. The incident between Wei Ting and Zhao Jin is not just a contradiction between the two, but a confrontation between the emperor and the Sima line.

If this matter is not handled properly, the Sima family is only afraid of danger.

“Zhang Xiang,” Sima Hong called Zhang Zhonghan, “Please stay.”

“Master Sima,” Zhang Zhonghan smiled and arched his hand towards Sima Hong. He knew that Sima Hong stopped him for Wei Ting, so he made up his mind not to take the word.

The Sima family is already a grasshopper after the autumn. How could he be tied to the same rope with this grasshopper?

How do you know that Sima Hong did not mention this matter at all, but talked about an old story.

“Zhang Xiangke still remembers the case where Lin Fei poisoned the prince?”

Zhang Zhonghan’s expression changed greatly, and his gaze turned to Sima Hong.
