Server SkyVids Link 1039 Version 346
Since the first snow fell, it has been wind and snow for several days, and the entire capital has long been covered in silver, and the Fufeng Courtyard is no exception.
In the early morning of the second day of December, the wind and snow finally stopped, and the maids and wives of the palace were sweeping snow in the courtyard early in the morning.
Nangong Yue had just finished her breakfast when she heard Baihui come to report: Miss Fu Liu is here.
After a while, Lily led Fu Yunyan into the outer study. Fu Yunyan first glanced at the thick stack of account books on the desk, and sighed sympathetically, "Ayue, you and my mother have worked really hard." It's the last month of this year, and Mrs. Fu has been busy recently, and her desk is full of this year's account books.
"Liu Niang!"
Nangong Yue took Fu Yunyan and sat down by the window. After the snow stopped, although it was a little cold outside, there was no wind, so Nangong Yue ordered people to open half of the windows so that they could breathe in and enjoy the snow scenery.
"Liu Niang, why are you here suddenly?"
"What? You're not welcome?" Fu Yunyan winked mischievously, "I saw that the snow scene was good this morning, so I came to you to enjoy the snow and have a snowball fight..."
Nangong Yue was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Liu Niang, you can enjoy the snow, as for the snowball fight..." As she spoke, her eyes stopped on Lily, "Let Lily accompany you to play."
Fu Yunyan glanced at Lily, nodded and said, "That's right, I, a martial artist who is big or three, won't bully you, a little nerd who has no power."
She stood up with a smile and said, "Ayue, where is the other little nerd in your family? Why don't you come out with her to enjoy the snow."
The other little nerd in Fu Yunyan's mouth was naturally Xiao Fei.
Lily replied immediately, "The eldest girl went to the garden early in the morning and said she wanted to sweep the snow and make tea."
Fu Yunyan couldn't help thinking of how they swept the snow in his house last year, and smiled: "Ayue, your little nerd is as charming as Sister Xi."
Nangong Yue thought of something and smiled.
Baihe said bluntly: "Miss Fu Liu, you don't know, our eldest girl has lived in the southern border since she was a child. This is the first time she has come to the capital, the southern border is hot, and the eldest girl has only seen it once in the southern border. Snow. A few days ago, it snowed in the capital, but it made her happy... What are the nine elegant things in life: burning incense, drinking tea, listening to the rain, enjoying the snow, waiting for the moon, drinking wine, planting flowers, searching for You, Fuqin. If it hadn't been for the princess to stop her, the eldest girl would have gone to learn from the ancients, waiting for the moon in the snowy night the night before."
Fu Yunyan was amused: "A Fei is really interesting."
While talking and laughing, they left the small study and went all the way to the garden.
At this moment, the maid has cleared the snow on the road, but the eaves, branches, flowers... are still covered with thick white snow, which makes the entire palace look completely different from usual, quiet and far away.
Lily said with emotion: "Yesterday, the snowstorm was so loud that I didn't sleep well in the middle of the night, but this time the snow stopped when it stopped. God is really willful."
Fu Yunyan thought of something, and showed a mysterious smile: "Otherwise, why would there be a word that the wind and snow will always pass!"
Nangong Yue couldn't help but look at Fu Yunyan, thinking of the recent turmoil in the capital, she always felt that she meant something.
"Liu Niang, you seem to be in a good mood today?" Nangong Yue asked tentatively.
Fu Yunyan hesitated for a moment and said, "Ayue, do you know that Marquis Anyi was taken to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment?"
Nangong Yue looked straight and nodded.
Speaking of Guan Yubai, Lily's expression was a bit complicated, her head bowed slightly to hide the strange color on her face.
"Ayue, what do you think about this matter?" Fu Yunyan asked with a solemn expression, "Do you believe that Marquis Anyi will collude with the remnants of the previous dynasty?"
Nangong Yue said sternly: "The official family is full of loyalty, I naturally don't believe it!"
Fu Yunyan's eyes lit up immediately, and he put his palms together and said, "I knew you were a discerning person, Ayue!" Seeing her firm expression, she seemed to be saying, how could the person I admire most collude with the remnants of the previous dynasty!
After a pause, Fu Yunyan said again: "When I went to greet my grandmother this morning, Cousin Yu happened to be there. Like you and I, Cousin Yu also said that he believed in Marquis Anyi."
Speaking, Fu Yunyan couldn't help but resonate with his cousin Wen Yu's powerful voice: "Grandmother, although my grandson has known Marquis Anyi for only a month, I have heard a lot about him before, and I have always admired him very much. Hou Anyi has always taken good care of his grandson and gave careful guidance... The grandson feels that Hou Anyi has a noble character and will not do such a disobedient thing. Grandmother, Hou Anyi must have been framed by a traitor! It's a pity that the grandson is Shanli Bo, I can't help An Yihou, I can only ask your grandmother..."
Fu Yunyan's mouth curled slightly and praised: "Cousin Yu is worthy of being our Fu family, and he has the knowledge of people!"
Nangong Yue was thoughtful. If it was just for this, Fu Yunyan didn't seem to be so happy. Could it be that...
"Liu Niang, is Grandma Yong Yang going to ask the emperor?" she asked hurriedly.
Fu Yunyan was stunned for a moment, then said in surprise, "Ayue, you are so smart! My cousin asked my grandmother to enter the palace to help Marquis Anyi to intercede. ... Even the emperor would think about it if his grandmother came forward. "Fu Yunyan smiled.
Nangong Yue suddenly stopped and hurriedly asked, "Liu Niang, Grandma Yong Yang has already entered the palace?"
Fu Yunyan didn't know why she asked this, but she immediately replied: "The emperor is still in the morning, grandmother plans to go to the palace in the afternoon..." She looked at Nangongyue's face sinking like water, and she was also a little worried, "Ayue, but What's wrong?"
Nangong Yue's brows were knitted together, her mind was entangled with thousands of thoughts... After a while, she looked at Fu Yunyan cautiously and said, "Your cousin may have good intentions, but sometimes good intentions may be self-defeating." Nangong Yue's eyes flashed a touch of complexity and a trace of doubt.
What's the meaning? ! Fu Yunyan looked at Nangong Yue suspiciously.
"Liu Niang, do you know the 'King Yu's Rebellion'?" Nangong Yue asked slowly.
Fu Yunyan was stunned, not sure what the relationship was between the two, but nodded anyway.
Nangong Yue said: "In the 'Rebellion of King Yu', King Yu colluded with most of the generals in the court to rebel. Now there is a lot of rumors about the capital, and they all say that this time, the 'Rebellion of King Yu' will be repeated!"
Nangong Yue raised her eyes and glanced in the direction of the palace, and sighed, "The holy will is unpredictable!"
Fu Yunyan was thoughtful, her brows furrowed.
Nangong Yue rationalized her thoughts and continued: "Liu Niang, grandmother Yong Yang is not only the emperor's aunt, but also a general, and a general who is highly respected and has the heart of the army! Since ancient times, emperors have been taboo against courtiers to form parties. Civil servants form parties for personal gain, but military generals form parties for rebellion. In the current situation, although the court is turbulent and many officials are implicated, at least the emperor has neither used a knife nor tortured Marquis Anyi and the others. This shows that the emperor should still have doubts about this case in his heart. And if someone with a high position like Yongyang's grandmother, who holds military power, is also involved in this matter, not only will it not achieve the purpose of sending carbon in the snow, but it may actually It will make the emperor more jealous of Marquis Anyi, so it is absolutely useless for Marquis Anyi or the Princess Mansion. As far as I can see, it is the best policy to be cautious and act quietly."
What Nangong Yue said was very reasonable. After Fu Yunyan thought about it carefully, the more he thought about it, the more flustered he became, and he said in a hurry, "Ayue, I have to go home quickly."
Naturally, Nangong Yue did not keep her, so he personally sent her to the second door, and watched her leave with a complicated expression, thinking to himself: Now the dynasty is turbulent, if it is not for in-laws, it is impossible to put aside the relationship, most officials choose Mingzhe to protect themselves, but also To avoid suspicion, so as not to be accused of forming a party or colluding, is this cousin of Liu Niang just entering the official dynasty, and he simply maintains a pure heart, or did he do it on purpose?
If the former is fine, if the latter...
Nangong Yue felt a little uneasy in her heart. She stayed there for a while until Lily's salute sounded beside her: "I have seen the big girl."
Looking at the sound, I realized that Xiao Fei had come over at some point.
Xiao Fei looked at Nangong Yue suspiciously, and asked, "Sister-in-law, I heard that Miss Fu Liu is here..." Why did she disappear again?
Nangong Yue hurriedly said, "Sister Fei, Liu Niang thought of something temporarily, so she went back first."
Xiao Fei frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong, but since Nangong Yue didn't say anything, she didn't ask any more.
Nangong Yue couldn't help but glanced in the direction of the palace again, her heart was a little heavy, but at this time, another stormy sea was set off in the morning.
In the Censor's Censor's Censorship, the King Cheng eloquently impeached the prince of Zhennan, Xiao Yi, for collaborating with the Marquis of Anyi, Guan Yubai. The two deliberately delayed the peace talks between Dayu and Baiyue, intending to destroy the diplomatic relations between the two countries, causing war between the two countries again. Their hearts can be punished!
The Manchu Dynasty was once again in an uproar. The successors of the Ministry of War, Chen Yuanzhou, General Zhang, Weiyanghou, Anyihou, Chen Shilang... Now even Xiao Yi, the prince of Zhennan, who is not in the capital at the moment, is also involved in this wave of turmoil. Could it be this? Is it really going to repeat the "King Yu's Rebellion" of the late emperor? !
Several ministers quickly raised their heads and glanced at the emperor on the throne, and half lowered their heads as if nothing had happened, all of them were silent.
The emperor, dressed in a bright yellow robe, sat on the throne with a big horse and a golden sword. His square face was expressionless, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
Probably only Eunuch Liu, who was serving on the side, knew that the emperor was by no means as calm as he appeared.
If he hadn't been there at the time, Eunuch Liu would have hardly believed that Guan Yubai, the Marquis of Anyi, had "magical powers" to such an extent.
Someone really impeached Xiao Yi, the prince of Zhennan!
It's just a fortune teller, isn't it? !
Who is it that secretly colluded with Baiyue... The more Eunuch Liu thought about it, the more frightened he became. He secretly glanced at the emperor with deep eyes, his back was already wet.
No one spoke in the court for a while, until one person suddenly appeared, it was Nangong Qin. He bowed his head and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the prince of Zhennan is brave and loyal, fighting for my great wealth, defeating Baiyue, and saving the people of southern Xinjiang. Xiao Shizi, his motives are really doubtful!"
"Prince Xiao and Lord Nangong are relatives by marriage, so they are speaking for Prince Xiao." Wang Zhongcheng responded calmly.
Nangong Qin frowned slightly, and said again: "Wang Zhongcheng, this official doesn't understand, what is the benefit to Xiao Shizi when the war between the two countries is triggered?"
Wang Zhongcheng said respectfully to the emperor in a righteous manner: "Your Majesty, the Zhennan Palace and the Southern Border Army have always been belligerent, and the value of war cannot be demonstrated without war. I ask the emperor to investigate!"
With such a cruel argument, Nangong Qin suppressed the anger in his heart and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, as long as the two countries are at war, life will be ruined, and the people will suffer. Zhennan Wangfu has been defending our Dayu frontier in the southern border for decades, how can it be? It will provoke a war for no reason! Wang Zhongcheng's remarks really chill my heart for thousands of soldiers in the southern border! I also ask the emperor to learn from him."
Wang Zhongcheng did not argue with Nangong Qin again, but said to the emperor again: "I ask the emperor to thoroughly investigate the son of Xiao!"
The emperor's face was sinking like water, and he didn't speak for a long time, and the ministers were also motionless, thinking: If even the Zhennan Palace is involved, who will be next?
The thick court clothes in winter were almost soaked with cold sweat, and the crowd was uneasy, only the corner of Pingyang Hou's mouth showed a mocking sneer.
In this tense atmosphere, one person walked out of the queue on the left of the emperor.
This person is Lv Wenzhuo, the chief assistant of the cabinet.
Lu Wenzhuo bowed his head respectfully, and then said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, according to the views of the ministers, whether it is Marquis Anyi or Prince Xiao, they all acted imprudently in the matter of Baiyue, and that's why they are provoked. Doubts. Since this is the case, it is better to investigate thoroughly. If it is really innocent, it will be a good way to clear the stigma and return them to their innocence!"
"I have my own decision on this matter." The emperor's voice was neither cold nor hot, neither happy nor angry, but it made the ministers feel more and more uncertain.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Lu Wenzhuo didn't say more and returned to the queue.
The emperor gave Eunuch Liu a look, and Eunuch Liu said sharply: "Retreat!"
The ministers hurriedly tidied up their robes and knelt down, sending the holy car in unison.
The early dynasty was over, but the matter was far from over. Nangong Qin sent someone to Zhennan Wangfu to deliver news to Nangong Yue. On the other hand, the emperor secretly summoned Guan Yubai in the imperial study.
It was quiet in the imperial study, just like last time, except for Eunuch Liu, all the other palace servants were sent down.
Guan Yubai bowed to the emperor.
The emperor stared at Guan Yu's half-drooped face and calm expression without blinking, and did not speak for a while.
In the morning above, the emperor's heart was of course thunder and anger, and it took almost all his strength to restrain it. He is the emperor, and for the sake of the overall situation, he cannot express his true emotions at will... At that time, the emperor felt that he might as well be a tyrant for a moment! To be a wise ruler, you need to look ahead and look out for the whole situation, and to be a tyrant can do whatever you want!
The emperor rubbed his brows and finally said: "Yubai, no ceremony. Grant a seat."
After Guan Yubai sat down on the armchair beside him, the emperor said again: "Yubai, as you said, this morning, Wang Zhongcheng from Censor Terrace impeached the Prince of Zhennan for colluding with you..." The emperor's voice There was a trace of exhaustion in the middle, and he told Guan Yubai what happened in the courtroom.
If it is said that before the early court today, the emperor believed only 70% of Guan Yubai's words, but now it is 120%. Dangdang Dayu actually had officials colluding with Nanban Baiyue, and also intended to frame a group of ministers, the Minister of War, Chen Yuanzhou, General Zhang, Weiyang Hou, Anyi Hou, Chen Shilang... Xiao Yi, the prince of Zhennan, the people behind the scenes clearly wanted to It is necessary to cut off half of his Dayu Dynasty Hall, so that he, the emperor, has no ministers and no generals to use. As for Wang Zhongcheng, he didn't expect that even the imperial censor Taichung Cheng would be bribed by someone, which really surprised him, but this time, he led out these worms lurking in the court!
The emperor is happy, but more of a chill.
He felt that the Great Yu Dynasty was thriving, but he didn't know that there were many crises hidden under the seemingly prosperous.
The emperor looked at Guan Yubai deeply, calmed down, and said in a deep voice, "Yubai, this Baiyue collaborator is really powerful, and even Wang Zhongcheng's dignified censor Taichung Cheng can easily buy it. I really want to now. Take this Wang Zhongcheng down and torture him for questioning, but..."
There is no basis and no evidence. Just because Wang Zhongcheng impeached Xiao Yi, he couldn't say that he was bought off, right? It is the duty of the Censor to impeach officials, and Wang Zhongcheng is not a fool. Once he admits it, he will have nowhere to turn around!
"Your Majesty is right," Guan Yubai said calmly, "this matter has a wide range of implications, so don't act rashly, so as not to startle the snake. It's better to rely on Wang Zhongcheng and 'completely investigate' Xiao Shizi, and the Emperor, you continue Waiting and watching... Isn't that what Lu Shoufu also suggested?"
Lu Shoufu... The emperor frowned slightly, and his heart moved.
Previously, he only thought that Lu Wenzhao proposed a thorough investigation of Xiao Yi out of caution, but now that he thinks about it, it seems a bit too coincidental.
At first glance, Lu Wenzhuo's words sounded quite fair, but after thinking about it, every word and sentence confirmed that Guan Yubai and Xiao Yi had colluded...
Could it be that Lu Wenzhuo and Wang Zhongcheng are actually...
Thinking about it, the emperor sank in his heart, temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart, and said, "What Yubai said is very true. It's just that now he can only aggrieved Yubai to stay in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment for a while..."
Guan Yubai stood up and said warmly: "The emperor's words are serious, for me, for the sake of the emperor, what are the ministers? Besides, the minister has never been tortured in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and there is no shortage of anything, but it is just a living room. In a few days, Quan should practice. The emperor does not need to mind."
Looking at Guan Yubai, the emperor was also a little moved, and then let Guan Yubai step back, and quickly summoned Lu Huaining, the commander of Jinyiwei...
Naturally, Nangong Yue didn't know what happened in the imperial study. At this time, she was hiding behind the screen, and learned from the little servant sent by Nangong Qin that Xiao Yi had been impeached in the morning.
Although she was prepared in her heart, Nangong Yue's eyes narrowed, and her palm unconsciously clenched the tea cup in her hand.
The other party finally took action against Xiao Yi!
She couldn't help thinking of the letter that Guan Yubai gave her to Xiao Si... The fire finally burned on Xiao Yi as Guan Yubai expected.
Baihui looked at Nangong Yue worriedly, first the son, and now the prince... Although she knew everything the prince and Zhu Xing had arranged recently, she couldn't help but panic when she saw this situation, for fear that there would be a just in case.
Nangong Yue put down the tea cup and asked, "What did the emperor say?" The most important thing is the emperor's attitude...
"The emperor has not expressed his position for the time being." The little servant replied hurriedly.
Nangong Yue moved her index finger on the desk a few times and said, "If you go back and tell Uncle, just say I know. Let him not have to worry."
Following that, she gave Baihui a look. After Baihui rewarded the servant, she ordered a little maid to lead the servant away.
Nangong Yue walked out from behind the screen. At this time, only she and Baihui were left in the outer study. Baihui said cautiously, "Prince Prince, what should we do next?"
Nangong Yue pondered for a while, and said lightly, "Let's just wait and see." She looked out the window, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and she said meaningfully, "Something that should come will always come."
At this moment, there was a commotion outside the study room, and a woman shouted in shock: "It's not good! It's not good..."
Baihui hurriedly walked out the door and scolded: "Why are you yelling so much here, Concubine Shizi?!"
The old woman shrank her body and whispered in a trembling voice: "Concubine Yi Shi, there is a team of Jinyi guards over the street, fierce and vicious... It looks like they are coming to our palace!" She swallowed hard. Thinking of seeing that group of Jinyiwei from a distance just now making people turn their backs on the street, my heart tightens.
Nangong Yue also came out, and calmly ordered: "Go and inform Butler Zhu and Uncle Zhou." Then he said to Lily, "Go and call the eldest girl too."
"Yes, Concubine Shi." The old woman replied with a pale face, and the two wars ran away, feeling uneasy in her heart: Could it be that even their Zhennan Palace will be raided?
But Lily was a little hesitant, she glanced at Baihui, and finally took the order.
"Prince Prince..." Baihui said solemnly, "Would you like a servant to protect you from leaving the palace? In case Jinyiwei collided with you." With her and Lily's skills, together with Zhu Xing and Zhou Dacheng, she wanted to take Nangong with her. It shouldn't be a problem for Yue and Xiao Fei to leave through the back door.
Nangong Yue gave her a reassuring look and said, "Don't worry."
Baihui was stunned. Although she believed that there would never be a mistake in the arrangement of the young master, she still could not completely relax her mind. If there was any accident, what would the princess do?
"Let's go out to greet the 'guests'." Nangong Yue stroked her sleeves and walked quickly towards the gate.
Before they got to the gate, they only heard a loud bang, the gate seemed to be kicked open from the outside, and then a male voice said aggressively: "Jin Yiwei has been ordered to handle the case and search the town. Nanwang Mansion, those who dare to stop them will be killed without mercy!"
A team of Jinyiwei rushed in, headed by Lu Huaining, the commander of Jinyiwei. At the same time, Zhu Xing and Zhou Dacheng also rushed over, with a guard with a dry waist and a long sword behind them, and immediately supported in the Nangong behind Yue.
After all, Zhu Xing and Zhou Dacheng came down from the battlefield. Although the swords were not sheathed, Lu Huaining was secretly startled by the murderous aura radiating from the whole body.
Lu Huaining clasped his fist at Nangong Yue and said, "Prince Concubine, can you take a step to speak?"
Nangong Yue nodded thoughtfully.
The two walked under a big tree, and Lu Huaining cupped his hands again and said in a low voice, "Prince Prince has offended you. Please don't panic, I'm just pretending to be ordered by the emperor. The emperor believes in the prince."
Sure enough... Although Nangong Yue had already guessed a little, but after confirming it with her own ears, she breathed a sigh of relief and said with a slight smile, "Thank you, Lord Lu, for letting me know."
Lu Huaining hurriedly said again: "It's just, I'm afraid I'll offend a little...I also ask the princess to forgive me."
"Master Lu is serious." Nangong Yueshi said in general.
Following that, Nangong Yue returned to Baihui's side, and said meaningfully to Zhu Xing and Zhou Dacheng: "Butler Zhu, Chief Guard Zhou, Master Lu is doing things according to the order, we can't cause Master Lu to cause trouble to the prince. God messed up!"
Zhu Xing and Zhou Dacheng looked at each other, and both took a step back, but they still followed Nangong Yue closely, protecting her in a guard-like manner.
Lu Huaining waved his arms and said loudly, "Search!"
"Yes!" A group of Jin Yiwei responded aggressively in unison.
Not only in the palace, but also outside the palace were densely surrounded by a group of golden-clothed guards, who were guarding the door with cold faces. With such a big commotion on the street, everyone who saw it rushed to tell them to leave. After a while, a group of onlookers gathered and discussed:
"I heard that Weiyang Hou's mansion was impeached two days ago, and now I'm still thinking about it behind closed doors. I didn't expect that it would be the turn of Zhennan's mansion to be raided today!"
"These princes and generals are too daring to collude with the remnants of the previous dynasty!"
"It's better for this little brother to be cautious." An old man said to stop, "Now the emperor has not reached a conclusion..."
"It's all ransacked, it's not yet conclusive!" The young man curled his lips in disapproval, "These princes and generals look at their usual scenery, but in fact, if something goes wrong, it's a matter of losing their heads. It's not as good as us, the common people. Have a good time..."
People, you said every word and every word, and no one noticed that a young servant at the back of the crowd took a few steps back carefully. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he quickly left.
He has to hurry back and report the good news to His Royal Highness the Third Prince!
The servant quickly got on a green carriage in the alley, and the carriage galloped away...
