Chapter 711 Three-in-one(1/2)
The concubine's son Gaomen 95
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the cicadas on the trees are getting more and more irritable. In front of the princess's mansion, there are really crowds of carriages and horses, which are extremely noisy. Some smart little vendors specially picked herbal tea to sell. The ones earned in a day are enough for the family to spend half a year. Those who come here are all high-ranking officials, who care about the little money they give rewards?
Wencai looked at the gifts brought in again and the baskets of worship books, and she became irritated. The princess was elusive all day long and sometimes she couldn't meet each other for a few days. And the princess of her family didn't know what happened suddenly? She became less and less aware of it. In his cognition, at least one person who knew how to protect himself, but he really couldn't see what she did in the past six months.
On the eighth day of the third month, the Censor He Luohui impeached Prime Minister Guo Changhe to form a clique to control the imperial examinations of the court. The emperor ordered Guo Changhe to defend himself. Anyone with discerning eyes knew that the emperor was going to attack Prime Minister Guo. But the princess expelled Guo Changhe in the church and asked He Luohui what the "party" was and what the "private". She said that the Chamber of Deliberative Affairs was established by the late emperor at that time, and the seven-person "party" was also approved by the late emperor. Upholding the aspirations of the late emperor, how can the selection of the country be considered "private"?
Another censor He Xiang impeached Guo Changhe on the spot to use the imperial examination for personal gain and commit fraud, saying that Guo Changhe's successor was the first in the second grade of the current imperial examination. This is a clear evidence. The princess also said that the selection of talents does not avoid relatives. The top ten imperial examinations were decided by Your Majesty himself, so what does it have to do with Prime Minister Guo?
Finally, she advised His Majesty: Although He Xiang’s impeachment was untrue, the things he stated were also a warning to the court. In the future, the imperial examinations should work hard to avoid suspicion. Therefore, he recommended He Xiang as the inspector of the censor. Guo Changhe did not take the initiative to avoid suspicion during the imperial examinations and was fined half a year's salary. He Luohui heard about the rumors and had bad intentions and provoked the relationship between the monarch and the ministers. He should be punished! The emperor said nothing in the dynasty and left. Later, he issued an order to denounce the princess's tyranny and asked the princess to think about her mistakes behind closed doors.
On April 13, Marquis of Jing'an and generals stationed from various places returned to the capital, and a banquet was held in the palace to welcome the generals. At the banquet, the emperor laughed and said that he was reluctant to leave the generals and wanted to leave the generals in the capital to obey the orders and ask how many people agreed. The princess suggested to the emperor on the spot that he could ask the generals to change their defenses, but it was not appropriate to stay in the capital. The emperor smiled at the time and said that he had no words. The next day he came to beat the imperial physician, saying that the princess was in poor health and wanted to rest in the mansion.
It's been two months since I was raising my child.
The weather in June was like a fire, and the hot people were very unbearable. Wencai stomped her feet and said to Guixi, who was helping in front: "You should stare first, I'll go in and ask Your Highness what to do next?" More and more people came to visit the princess's mansion. Although the princess kept her door and refused to accept it, she could not stop the enthusiasm of these people.
It is said that the princess is fair and selfless, and the rewards and punishments are clearly distinguished. The officials even regarded the princess as their guardian god. But in his opinion, these people were just that the prince did not touch their interests.
He walked all the way and saw the princess dancing swords in the pavilion on the water from afar.
Sanxi turned her head and waved her hand to Wencai, telling him not to speak. Wencai approached, stood beside Sanxi, and asked in a low voice: "Why is it dancing on this hot day?"
"I'm so tired!" Sanxi replied in a low voice.
Wencai sighed, this is what he couldn't understand. It was not that the princess didn't understand the powerful relationship here. The censor impeached Guo Changhe, because he wanted to take action with the deliberation cabinet and regain power. He wanted to remove the military power of the generals of the garrison in various places, so he naturally wanted to replace him with his own people for easy control. But the princess did this, but she repeatedly ruined His Majesty's affairs. Even if her mother and daughter could not withstand such waste!
Lin Yutong took the sword, took the handkerchief handed by Sanxi and wiped her face, turned her head and asked Wencai: "Why are you here? Is there anything wrong?"
Wencai entered the pavilion and whispered: "Your Highness, the outside is full of people. If this continues... Your Majesty will probably keep asking Your Highness to rest."
Lin Yutong poured half a bowl of half a bowl of mung bean soup and chuckled: "What? Isn't it good to keep it all the time?"
OK? Where is it?
Wencai looked at Lin Yutong in confusion: "Please tell me your superiors."
Lin Yutong put down the bowl, looked at the swaying lotus flowers in the pond, and suddenly asked, "You walk around the market all day long. Do you know what people outside say to me?"
Why did you ask about this?
Wencai thought for a moment in his heart: "Everyone knows what kind of person Your Highness is. The clever plan to lure the enemy shows that His Highness is smart and smart. He has repeatedly argued for the ministers in front of the imperial court, which shows that you dare to speak out directly; you have personally gone to the battlefield and won a great victory, and it is not an exaggeration to say that you are brave and good at fighting. You suggest that the court add a patrol censor to investigate the disaster situation and administration in various places. This is your compassion for the people; you ask the troops stationed in various places to change defenses, and the adults in the court praised you for your great political vision."
Lin Yutong turned around and glanced at Wencai: "I am smart and intelligent, dared to speak out directly, brave and good at fighting, sympathetic to the people, and have political vision. Haha...you are sure that this is me, not Prince Fusu."
Wencai was stunned at first, then shocked.
Yes! Isn’t the evaluation of Your Highness the same as the evaluation of Young Master Fusu by later generations? Young Master Fusu died and Qin II died. So what about now? Is it a replay of history? No! No! There are many smart people in this world, and there are always people who can break the mystery. With Hu Hai’s comparison, Fusu’s wisdom is revealed. Now that Your Highness stands on the opposite side of the emperor, this is also a set of comparisons.
This is an open conspiracy! This is an open conspiracy.
She did what she should do, so someone would wave the flag and shout for her. Now, the situation outside the princess's mansion is a clear proof.
Wencai's thoughts changed. Young Master Fusu was forced to commit suicide. So will Your Majesty force Your Highness like this? No! Even if you force him, will Your Highness follow the old path of Young Master Fusu? No! The prince consort went out early and came back late, I'm afraid he was just preparing just in case.
All the ministers of the court did not agree with women as emperors. If His Highness could not let the people of the world accept her, even if she received the emperor's trust and even if she finally ascended the throne, then what would happen next would be endless internal struggles. What benefits would be for the world?
Now, the situation is different. The people of the world are circulating the achievements of His Highness, and the ministers in the court have regarded His Highness as their "owner". Your Majesty may think that His Highness is honest and too kind, but his integrity and kindness are the most appropriate at this time. Especially compared with Your Majesty, one is good at using tricks, being gentle and ruthless, and the other is upright, kind-hearted and selfless. If such two people are called the people in the world, who would they choose?
Even if His Highness is also a woman, they are willing to choose a fair and kind monarch. Only such a monarch can one not be worried or tremble as a minister.
After he figured this out, his eyes looked at Lin Yutong differently.
Gan naturally received the news about what happened in front of the princess’s mansion. Madam He whispered: “Miss hasn’t seen those people. You don’t have to worry too much.”
Gan shook his head: "It's not that I'm too concerned! It's this minister who hates us! They are alienating us mother and daughter."
Madam He looked at the coldness in Gan's eyes and whispered: "You are the girl's biological mother, so this is not something that others can disagree if they want. Besides, the girl has always been an idea-friendly person. Didn't you even praise the girl before? People with good ideas, but those with ideas will not suffer any losses. Isn't this the one you most assured about?"
"She has an idea." Gan Shi tilted tiredly, "but this idea is too serious. She didn't leave the way I paved for her, and she had to argue with me. She had to make a mistake in her temperament."
"Master, I see, the girl's temperament is with you." Madam He advised, "Think about it, what you have made up your mind, what you have not done? No matter what others say, what should you do, what should you do, who can listen to whom? I see, you and the girl are getting into a different way. Take a step back, who told you to be a mother? I haven't seen each other for two months, so how can you not miss the girl? I'm worried about it."
Gan's expression couldn't help but soften: "This time they were only asked to keep a year of filial piety period, and they would have to be given a child no matter what they say next year."
Madam He smiled and said, "I am not good at body, but I can still use my strength."
"Well..." Gan smiled, "You go and send an order later and ask her how she is doing. If it gets better... just call her..."
Before he finished speaking, Lai Fu walked in from outside and replied: "Your Majesty, Commander Jin Chengquan Jin is looking for an interview outside, as if there is something urgent."
Gan stopped talking and his expression suddenly became calm, "Call him in."
Madam He knew that this person said something was wrong, but it must be a big deal.
When Jin Chengquan came in, he had a full layer of armor on his body and sweating all over his face. The weather was so worn like this, even the people watching him were so hot that he was so hot that he was so hot that he was only in his thirties, with a bit of heroic spirit. The meaning that occasionally flashed in his eyes was sinister, which destroyed his originally good temperament.
Madam He handed him a cup of tea to relieve the heat, then looked at the man quietly for a few glances before retreating aside. Just as she was thinking about how to persuade another young ancestor tomorrow, she heard Jin Chengquan's voice coming: "...Duke Jin and his prince have many abnormal movements..."
What? Madam He looked up in shock and looked at the other party.
Duke Jin? Isn’t this his biological brother? What does this mean? Do you want relatives to refuse to recognize them?
Madam He looked at Jin Chengquan standing in the hall in a daze, and felt that her hair was standing up all over her body. Why does this person's nature make people feel so terrible?
Gan frowned: "What are you referring to when you are talking about abnormal movement?"
"Your Majesty!" Jin Chengquan glanced at Gan, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He quickly lowered his head and pursed the corner of his mouth like a concealment. "There is something you probably don't know, even the late emperor didn't know. The minister's father and grandfather were the former secret guards commanders..."
"What?" Gan's face changed suddenly and looked ugly, "Do you know what you are talking about?"
The secret guard, the institution that the late emperor had not touched the side, was actually in Jin Cheng'an's hands. Is this what she meant? She was a little irritated. Does Yun Yin know about this? Does the prince-consort know? She couldn't stop guessing.
"Yes!" Jin Chengquan responded again with affirmation, glanced at Gan quickly, then lowered his eyelids, "Before his father passed away, he called his brother to talk privately. At that time, I... and my mother stood outside the door. All I heard was just a few words, and before I finished listening, my mother pulled me to avoid it. My mother asked me to forget what I heard. Therefore, I have never mentioned it to anyone in recent years. But now, the situation is different. My brother knows how many people my father left behind and where they were hidden. Before, the crossbow army that came and went without a shadow, I think Your Majesty also heard about them. His Majesty should also be in his heart
I have no idea. I can't guarantee that my brother does not have another crossbow army. With his character, I don't think he would give all his family's fortune to a concubine. Chu Yuan knew about the situation of the crossbow army at that time. Why did Chu Yuan obey his orders and take his brother as the main force? I'm afraid that the brother should still have the power behind his back. Otherwise, with Chu Yuan's heart and nature, he would definitely find a way to swallow the power of Duke Jin's mansion. From this perspective, I have this suspicion. Therefore, I came to warn Your Majesty. My brother had many years of control over the Imperial Guards. Lord Lin did not mention his ability, but his foundation was very shallow. I was afraid that he might not be able to understand the relationship here."
Gan Shi calmed down her expression on her face, waved her hand, and asked, "The only people involved are Jin Chengan and his eldest son?"
Jin Chengquan paused: "I am incompetent, and now I only see the clues of this father and son."
"Do you know what I want to ask?" Gan stood up and looked down at Jin Chengquan on the imperial stairs. "I want to ask you, is the prince consort involved? They will never suddenly have such thoughts for no reason."
The prince-consort? What should I say about this? Does she hope to involve the prince-consort or not? It seems that she may not have much trust in the fourth couple.
"I... don't know!" Jin Chengquan narrowed his eyes, and then quickly said: "It seems that the prince consort often goes out of the city recently..."
This is a test. It depends on what kind of attitude she has.
Gan looked at Jin Chengquan with a profound meaning, then smiled and shook his head: "It is normal for the prince-in-law to lead the military supervisor's errands to go to the Imperial Guard."
Jin Chengquan's mouth moved, his eyes narrowed, and he nodded, "What you said is that my brother doesn't actually like the prince's son, the concubine."
This is equivalent to not saying anything. This person is very good at observing his words and describing people's hearts.
Gan frowned, sat back in his seat, not entangled in this matter, and asked with a shift in his target: "Can there be other ministers in the court colluding with Kim Sung-an?"
"This... I need to find out more carefully." Jin Chengquan touched the sweat on his head, and suddenly felt a little regretful. Was he a little reckless this time?
Gan pondered for a while without saying anything. When he came to his senses, he suddenly asked Jin Chengquan, "What do you think about the defense change that Yun Yin proposed before?"
Jin Chengquan looked at Gan in surprise, and never expected that she would ask this. What did she say? She wanted to install her own people, and she must have blamed the princess for ruining her business. But she was a mother and daughter. No matter how bad her daughter was, it was not someone else's turn to say it. He pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty wants to keep all the generals in the capital. They can't bear to give up the power in their hands. They are dissatisfied, and this stimulation will inevitably aggravate the conflict. However,
Your Majesty is wise. First, he scared a few people with the words stranded in the capital, and then the princess proposed to change the defense. This is a good way to solve the problem. After all, Your Majesty's goal is to prevent several people from gaining troops. The way to achieve the goal is a good way. Your Majesty sings with His Majesty, one sings a bad face and the other, and cooperates with tacit understanding. Otherwise, let alone asking them to stay in the capital, even asking them to change the defense, it would probably be a very difficult thing to achieve."
Gan looked at Jin Chengquan again. This man was not only ambitious, ruthless, but also flexible and flexible. Such a person said it was easy to use, but he was not easy to use. He could be used as a knife, but he could not trust him. She turned her wrist like a jasper bracelet, and then said, "You can destroy your relatives for justice. This loyalty is really valuable. I will write down this credit for you first. As for Jin Chengan's affairs, you still need to continue to check..."
"I have an idea." Jin Chengquan whispered, then looked at Gan's clever eyes.
Gan waved: "Come near."
Jin Chengquan took a deep breath and walked to Gan's side. As soon as he approached, a refreshing fragrance came to his nose, causing him to lose his mind for a moment. After he passed by, he realized that Gan's skin was as delicate as a girl, and even his ears were extremely delicate and cute. His heart jumped violently, and even his breathing became hot.
Gan naturally felt the heat coming, turned around and looked over with a cold look. Jin Chengquan was startled. He finally calmed down and then said a few words in a low voice.
Madam He listened with her ears, but she couldn't hear a single word.
After hearing Jin Chengquan's idea, Gan said intimidatingly. She was also wary of this person, but her expression was even more gentle, "Just do as you say. In addition, after you leave the palace, you go to the princess's mansion first. I'll send a message to Yun Yin and ask her to enter the palace tomorrow."
Jin Cheng was so happy that he took two steps back, bowed and then slowly retreated.
The person in front of the princess's mansion, who saw that the person was Jin Chengquan, immediately dispersed. Who wouldn't know that this person was a real minion? Jin Chengan looked around and understood the emperor's intention to call him over. This could be regarded as a disguised warning.
Before he entered the mansion, Lin Yutong knew that he was coming. But she didn't see him either, so she just asked Wencai to beat him. She did not hide her disgust for Jin Chengquan at all.
Wencai drove Jin Chengquan away before coming in and replied: "Your Majesty asks Your Highness to enter the palace tomorrow."
Lin Yutong nodded and said she knew, and turned to ask Sanxi: "Did Guiwu not send news back?"
Sanxi shook her head: "No. It's the third day."
Yes! It's been three days. The Fourth Master is back.
At this time, the Fourth Master Jing'an Hou was on the back mountain of a small temple. Both of them were wearing hats, each with fishing rod, staring at the floats on the water. The mountains were cool, and even at noon, sitting under the shade of trees, they could not feel any impetuousness.
Marquis Jing'an glanced at the Fourth Master and suddenly said, "There is something I have always wanted to ask you."
The Fourth Master nodded and laughed a little: "You ask. There are no outsiders here."
"I just want to ask... you never thought of taking it over?" said Jing'an Hou, staring at the Fourth Master's face, as if he was about to look at him.
The Fourth Master raised his eyebrows and asked directly. But no matter how close he was, some of these words could not be expressed. He never thought about answering, but turned around and asked, "Replace it? Why do you think so?"
"Many people in the court think you are the most suitable candidate." Jing'an Hou looked at the Fourth Master, "I'll ask you out this time, not only what I mean." After saying that, he suddenly reacted and asked him what he said. Why didn't he take out anything from his mouth, but instead asked him to take the initiative quietly and draw his own goal out.
To be continued...
