Imperial Palace, imperial garden.
In the pavilion with yellow curtains, there was an octagonal table made of yellow Rosewood. A yellow robe and a green robe sat on the table.
Wei Yuan and Emperor Yuan jing were about the same age. One had a ruddy complexion and a head full of black hair, while the other had long graying hair, his eyes containing the vicissitudes of life that had settled over the years.
If men were to be compared to wine, Emperor Yuan jing would be the most glamorous and honorable pot. In terms of taste, Wei Yuan would be the most mellow and fragrant.
The two of them were talking.
Emperor Yuan jing looked at the White chess piece that Wei Yuan took and sighed, ‘
after King Huai’s fall, the Northern Territory lost its pillar of support. The barbarians won’t be able to cause any trouble for a while. However, if the witchcraft cult of the northeast detoured around the Northern Territory and entered the pass from Chuzhou, they would be able to attack the capital city and kill the Dragon!
As he spoke, Emperor Yuan jing placed his piece. With the crisp sound of the chess piece hitting the chessboard, the situation suddenly changed. The White pieces formed a sharp sword and headed straight for the big dragon. “Tsk, Wei Qing seems to be a little absent-minded today.”
Wei Yuan’s gaze was gentle as he picked up a black piece and said, ” the sky-supporting pillar is too tall and too big to control. When it collapses, it will hurt others and hurt yourself.
It was a light move.
The two of them chatted while playing chess. After four or five moves,
Emperor Yuan jing said lightly, ”
“A few days ago, the Crown Prince was assassinated and everyone in the inner palace was in danger. The Empress also suffered some shock and did not eat or sleep well during this time. Wei Qing ah, catch the assassin as soon as possible and let this matter pass. Then the Empress will not need to be afraid.”
Wei Yuan looked at the board and admitted defeat. He slowly let out a breath, “”Your Majesty’s chess skills are getting better.”
Then, he stood up and took a few steps back. He bowed and said, “”lt’s my fault. I will do my best to catch the assassin as soon as possible.”
Emperor Yuan jing burst out laughing.
At the same time, in the inner Pavilion.
A middle-aged eunuch in a Python robe came to the Wen Yuan Pavilion with two eunuchs to pay his respects to the first assistant, Wang zhenwen.
They didn’t stay for too long. After a quarter of an hour, the head eunuch left with the two eunuchs.
The chief advisor Wang zhenwen sat behind the table with an expressionless face. He did not move for a long time, like a silent statue.
The next day, Emperor Yuan jing was still arguing with the officials about the Chu Zhou case, but it was not as intense as yesterday. The whole Hall was filled with the smell of gunpowder.
Although there was still no conclusion to today’s court session, it ended in a relatively peaceful manner.
Zheng xinghuai, who had been in the government for a long time, smelled a trace of uneasiness. He knew that the problem he was worried about yesterday had finally appeared.
In the court meeting, although the Lords still refused to give in, they did not insist on convicting North vanquishing Prince as they did yesterday.
In fact, when the nobles suggested how to eliminate the rumors in the capital and change the view of the 20000 soldiers of Chuzhou on this matter, some civil officials participated in the discussion in the name of scolding.
What pained Zheng xinghuai the most was Wei Yuan and Wang zhenwen’s silence.
After the court was dismissed, Zheng xinghuai walked in silence. As he walked, he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind, “Lord Zheng, please wait.”
He turned his head back in a daze and saw Duke Cao, who was wearing the Duke’s tunic, chasing after him with an obvious smile on his face.
In Zheng xinghuai’s eyes, this was the smile of a winner.
Lord Zheng, you left Chu Zhou on your own accord and came to the capital to complain. You thought that you had come with great power, but did you ever think that this day would come? ”
High Duke Cao’s expression was calm as he said,
“I’ll give you a straight path. There are many things to be done in the Chu Prefecture city, and you’re the chief administrator of the Chu Prefecture city. At this time, he should stay in Chuzhou and rebuild the Chuzhou City. As for the matters in the capital, you shouldn’t get involved.”
He turned to look at the throne room behind him and said, ‘”‘This is also His Majesty’s intention.”
His Majesty’s meaning is that if you know when to stop, you will still be the chief administrator of Chuzhou. Go back to where you came from. In any case, Chu Zhou is tens of thousands of miles away from the capital.
“Bah!”
What responded to him was Zheng xinghuai’s spittle.
“You don’t know how to appreciate favors.”
High Duke Cao looked at Zheng xinghuai’s back and sneered.
Yamen, noble spirit building.
Wei Yuan was the first person Zheng xinghuai visited after the court was dismissed.
Xu Qi ‘an had been paying attention to the movements in the court today. He was about to go to the courier station to find Zheng xinghuai to ask about the situation. When he heard that Zheng xinghuai was visiting Wei Yuan, he immediately went to the noble spirit building.
But he was stopped by the guards downstairs.
“Duke Wei said that no one is allowed to disturb him during his meeting with the guests. In addition, Lord Wei has no intention of seeing you during this period of time. Didn’t he already chase you away several times?”
The guard and Xu Qi ‘an were old acquaintances, so he didn’t hold back.
Xu Qi ‘an didnt care about hitting people either. He kept slapping people’s heads and scolded them, “”You talk too much, you talk too much .
On the seventh floor.
Wei Yuan sat cross-legged in front of the table. He was dressed in green and his hair was white.
In front of him was Zheng xinghuai, whose back was gradually hunched, his hair was also white, and there was a knot between his brows that could not be resolved.
“When the capital investigation was over, Lord Zheng returned to the capital to debrief, and this Lord even met you. At that time, although your hair was white, you were in good condition.” Wei Yuan’s voice was gentle and his eyes were filled with pity.
Seeing him again today, this person seemed to have no soul. The heavy eye bags and the blood vessels in his eyes indicated that he could not sleep at night.
The slightly drooped corners of his mouth and the knot between his eyebrows showed that the other party had deep resentment in his heart, and it was difficult for him to calm down and relax.
“Lord Wei, are you planning to give up?” Zheng xinghuai said in a deep voice.
I admire Xu Qi ‘an very much. I think he was born to be a warrior. But sometimes, I get a headache because of his temper.
“I told him that he should think twice in the political field.”Think of danger, think of retreat, think of change..
