[Rebirth] Chronicle of the Two Capitals

Chapter 18 Malicious

In front of the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion, there was a constant stream of vehicles and horses, and there was an endless stream of people from the head of Guizhou, almost breaking the gate, smashing the hall, and piled up lawsuits.The front of the Taoist temple where Chong Yunzi was located was also reduced to ruins, and the door was deserted, and the situation was desolate.

Liu Zhao, governor of Shuntian Prefecture, and the wat held in front of the imperial court played against each other: "Chong Yunzi, Xiao Xiaoye, is good at playing ghosts and gods. Many people are bewitched by them without knowing it. One hexagram, one talisman and one ritual can't be bid for hundreds of gold. Anyone who seeks huge profits and disrupts the rule of law should be punished."

Yan Xun took a step forward, knelt down, and said in deep pain: "I seconded the proposal. Chong Yunzi is deceitful, treacherous and cunning, and the minister is unclear about the people. It is dangerous to cause a catastrophe. I hope your majesty will come down!"

Since the common people have been bewitched, why have they woken up one after another in recent days, and the dumb people don't have to suffer, and they insist on going to court?Tang Xi listened to the government behind the screen, and he really admired Yan Xun's ability to hire the sailors. Hearing this slightly choked tone, his acting skills came at his fingertips.If it were in her previous life, she would be the director of the online propaganda department of a film and television company who graduated from an acting department and joined the business world.

Liu Zhaohe is a student of the Yan family. He probably left the teacher before he was successful in his studies, and he is not very tactful in his speech. "Most of the common people are bewitched by it and don't know it." Once these words came out, the emperor was brought down to the same level as the common people with closed eyes, blind ears, and shallow knowledge.Yan Xun took the blame in a few words - not His Majesty's fault, but the minister's fault!

The emperor calls himself a saint, since he is a human being, who can do nothing wrong?The emperor can, and how the history books of later generations will comment is a matter for later generations. As long as the emperor is in power, he will have no faults and mistakes every day, and he is a great sage.Therefore, in the eyes of the emperor, Yan is inferior to his peers, and sometimes it is very pleasing.

It is Yan Xun's intention to kill Chong Yunzi with the knife of the law, and he must be abandoned if he is useless.The emperor half-believed in the technique of Chongju, and he said nothing about Yunzi's auspicious omen, the red jade "death has no proof", and the so-called elixir was even more mysterious.Instead of being reported by others in the future, it is better to act first by yourself.

Yan Xun, Liu Zhao and Die Luohan set up the steps for the emperor, and the emperor is willing to step down.He got up from his seat, walked down the imperial steps, and emptily supported Yan Xun: "His facial features are not right, he is either good or evil. However, the sorcery and profound methods enter the hall and use it to confuse the world. Can An Neng blame Yan Xiang for this?" The implication is, I can tell from his face that Chong Yunzi is not a good person, I am the Son of Heaven, this is my special skill, you and other mortals should not understand it, I don't blame you.

In the hall, except for the three people behind the screen who listen to the government and the servants of the maid, there are only three people, the emperor, Yan Xun and Liu Zhaohe-not to mention the Zhongshu Sheren who is in charge of the daily life.The three men, without script lines, played in the same scene, very skilled.Tang Yu, who was forced to learn thick and black studies for several years, couldn't help feeling in his heart: life really depends on acting skills.

As for acting skills, Tang Yu was a part-time actor in his previous life, so he was born with it.It's just that she is small and has no chance to practice.The future is also unknown.Thinking of this, Tang Yan couldn't help but look at Tang Yan, who had entered the court and was involved in politics.Tang Yan always sat upright, meticulous, calm and dignified.It is also this calmness and solemnity that draws a Chu River Han boundary between him and his younger siblings. There is a clear distinction between Wei and Wei. The courtiers frequently praise each other, but the younger siblings are even more alienated.

Tang Yan was over fourteen years old, and had already left the palace to build a mansion half a year ago. His biological mother, Princess Shou Wang, waited for an opportunity to stay for a long time, and was ordered to return home when the mansion was built.It is because the matter of accepting the marriage is made up by the empress—that is to say, the emperor is so weak and busy with government affairs, he has no time to separate himself/herself, but the empress alone carefully compares the background, character, and appearance of beauties of the right age, and must do it for her. In fact, his step-son Tang Yan, who has very little relationship with him, chooses a good wife.

The emperor has no family affairs, and the marriage of children is also a major matter deeply involved in political interests, which cannot be sorted out overnight.Tang Yan looked at Tang Yan and lamented in his heart. He only hoped that the marriage would be settled as soon as possible. She didn't want to see her mother working day and night to hurt her body.Tang Yu missed the queen, and the queen was alone in Weiyang Palace as well.

As the child grows up day by day, many childhood toys are displayed carelessly, which is not suitable.Throwing is not throwing away, the palace is spacious, so why not find a place to put it.It needs to be sorted and sorted for easy storage. It will also be a rare memory in the future.

The things were miscellaneous and small, the queen thought that there were not many, so she picked up two large wooden boxes, and the servants carried them away together, and the wooden boxes gradually disappeared before her eyes.The Queen's eyes still stayed on the corner outside the hall. For some reason, she felt a lot of reluctance and depression in her heart, as if the memories of the past few years were also dusted away with the wooden box.The queen turned her head and looked at the brand-new bedroom. It was quiet and serene, and the servants in the maid walked lightly.She couldn't help laughing, yes, Xiao Qi is not here, if she is here, how can she feel lonely when she is making such a fuss?

Liandong walked past her in a hurry, and went to call the servant: "Stop, you guys, this one needs to be collected!" Liandong shook the clay figurine in his hand, the paint color of the clay figurine faded, and it was very worn out.

The servant put down the wooden box and turned around to look for it, but the queen said, "Keep it." The queen looked at the clay figurine with infinite tenderness and love in her eyes.Seeing this, the servant retreated and left.

The queen took the clay figurine from Liandong's hands, and walked towards the bed, Liandong followed her half a step behind her, and said puzzledly: "Your Highness, if your little Highness likes it, just find a new one."

The clay figurine was placed beside the pillow, with only half of its face lingering, which is very funny.The queen put the clay figurine away, and smiled at Liandong: "You don't know, Xiaoqi always holds it before going to sleep. Once, I took it away quietly, and she clearly fell asleep, and she also slid a few lines of tears from the corners of her eyes. I held my hand tightly like a clay figurine, and gradually stabilized." The queen thought about it, and found it even more amused, with the corners of her lips curled up and shaking her head, "I'm all stupid."

The queen knew that Tang Yu was reluctant to part with the clay figurine, because it was the first gift he gave her, and it was of great significance.A child's nostalgia and affection are advantages, but they are also fatal disadvantages. Thinking of this, the queen's eyes showed a bit of worry.

Liandong understood, nodded, and said again: "His Royal Highness, the residence has been ordered to be sold, and a few servants are hired to tidy up the courtyard, and we can move in."

The Queen nodded.In Weiyang Palace, Yu Sheng can't stay for a long time. She has moved into the Imperial Hospital for a short period of time. My uncle was originally a medical officer in the Imperial Hospital. Although he resigned for many years, he still has good contacts and friendship. My aunt is Princess Izumo. Someone will take care of you.The formation of a contract between Yu Sheng and Bo Yu is not a hopeless solution, it just needs to be waited for.

Spring is about to end, the sun is late, and it is peony time.

The warm and beautiful atmosphere was broken by one person, Yan Xun came from a distance with his head held high, his face was full of spring, the queen came out of the palace, saw him, the smile on her lips disappeared, and her eyes became extremely cold, and she whispered to Liandong : "Retire." Liandong's eyes flickered, he hesitated to speak, and finally retired respectfully.

The two entered the ear hall one after another, retreated to the left and right, and closed the doors and windows tightly.

Although Yan Xun is an uncle of the state, he has never had the reason to come and go in and out of the middle palace at will.When Yan Qi, Empress of the Yuan Dynasty, was still alive, Yan Xun was Yan Qi's elder brother. The brother and sister had a deep friendship. The emperor favored Yan Qi alone and granted her many privileges. On behalf of the visit.After the death of Empress Yuan, the Central Palace was moved to Weiyang Palace. Other than that, there were almost no changes, so the privileges were left behind.

There is a paper volume on the desk, and the footer is wrinkled, which should be caused by frequent flipping.On each page, the birthdays, family background, concubines, character, and appearance of the ladies of the official family and the ladies of the family are summarized in a few strokes.Yan Xun picked up the newly recorded roster of beauties of the right age to be married by the Ministry of Rites, and turned to the pages with the deepest folds. On it, a few cinnabar handwriting was scratched, and Yan Xun carefully looked at it.

The queen sat on the couch, only sipping tea quietly, without saying a word.

The people the queen prefers are not very noble and eye-catching, but they are not unique, and they have more or less ties to the Yan family.For example, the daughter of Yan Xuan, a doctor in the Ministry of Industry, whose surname is Yan, no one knows exactly how much her ancestors are related to the Yan family in Jinling.Yan Xuan's father was from a poor family, failed in the long test, and had no face to return home, so he wanted to take the road of recommendation. He had written several poems to pay homage to Yan's family, but he managed to live at a distance that could not be farther away. A name was listed on the family tree, so he was able to become an official.His son, Yan Xuan, is a doctor of the Fifth Grade Ministry of Industry, and his rank is neither high nor low, so he still needs to rely on the Yan family.

It's a political marriage, but it's not enough.

Yan Xun flipped through the pages, found a page, placed it in front of the Queen, and pointed: "Your Highness is the daughter of the Yan family, so don't you know what the Yan family lacks?" As the Minister of the Ministry of Households, Yan's family also occupies an important position in the six departments. A doctor in the Ministry of Industry can't borrow the slightest external force. What do you want him to do?The Yan family wanted to support the prince of Linchuan County in the fight for the heir, and plan ahead, forcing the palace to mutiny is also in the plan.

Is it enough for the [-] guards in Yanjing?Not enough, the [-] Shangzhiwei near Gyeonggi can only be dispatched by imperial orders, and no Yan family can be placed among them.The two uncles Yan Zongren and Yan Zonghui were in charge of one hundred thousand Dingzhou guards and one hundred thousand Liangzhou guards respectively. Urgent aid, long drive northward, need to go through Yongzhou.Going up to Zhiwei, Yan Xun didn't intend to touch it, it was obvious that it would raise suspicion, Yan Xun's thoughts were in Yongzhouwei.

The queen glanced at the paper. The daughter of Yuan Kang, the deputy commander of the Yongzhou Guard, raised her head and looked at Yan Xun: "This girl is a concubine, so I'm afraid she won't be able to get into your Majesty's eyes."

Yan Xun laughed, looked down at the queen, and said aggressively: "The adoptive and the main wife are fine, isn't your highness the most familiar with this way?" Yan Huaixin has only two daughters under his knees, one is Yan Qi and the other is Yan Yi. Fearing that the position would not last long, Yan Yi was adopted as a daughter-in-law before marrying into the royal family.

Yan Xun's words were full of contempt, his eyes were fierce, and the corners of his eyes were raised high: "Success or failure depends on you. If it fails, I will never spare your life! Four years ago, you conspired with me to choose Supported by a family member, they regard him as a puppet, and when His Majesty goes away, they will secretly manipulate the new emperor, and then eat away at the throne. You live alone in the deep palace, and the palace personnel have changed several times, thinking that you can hide it from my eyes and ears, and keep the old warehouse in secret?" Yu Sheng didn't accept the matter of Yushi Punishment, instead of working in the imperial hospital, what happened in the night palace, Yan Xun has no way of knowing, guessing, it is also inseparable from the empress!

Yan Xun stepped forward, only a fist away from the queen. Although they are not the same father and mother, they still have similarities in appearance.The queen looked at his eyebrows, inch by inch, the disgust in her heart was surging layer by layer, and she almost felt sick.She didn't doubt the truth of the words, Yan Xun was already greedy for profit, and even his own sister was willing to torture and harm, let alone her?

Yan Xun was already familiar with threatening the Queen's life and death. Yan Xun accepted the word "despicable" from his body to his heart. Even so, he still felt guilty when facing the Queen.He knows very well that the daughter is like her mother, the empress and her biological mother are in the same line of steadfastness of heart, and money and rights are not worth the so-called morality upheld in his heart. Because of his mother, his father retired to the land and did not get involved in government affairs. That woman is his weakness .Yan Xun disdains, he has no weakness, he wants to become the Ninth Five-Year Planner, rule the world, no one can stop his footsteps!

The queen struggled, hesitated, pondered, felt uneasy... All kinds of complicated emotions ached in her heart like a pinprick, and when she heard the sound of evening drums resounding through the imperial city, it turned into a soft, trickling stream.She looked out of the window, the golden sun was sinking, and the sky was full of red clouds. Soon, Xiao Qi, who had not yet grown to her waist, would run towards her with a smile, hug her, and rub her head with her, sweet and waxy She is called "Queen Mother", her peach blossom eyes are curved into two shining crescent moons.

The queen suppressed all her emotions, and clenched her hands into fists, her fingertips pinching her palms tightly. She said calmly, "I will do my best."
