"Retreat the Court"

....

....

The sun was shining warmly over the entire Bianliang. Today, the court was still arguing about the Northern Expedition. Wang Fu has been bothering this matter day and night for nearly half a month. Cai Jing has always remained neutral in this matter, neither lukewarm nor hot, so his students will naturally not come out.

Even so, Tong Guan still secretly told him that the officials supported the Northern Expedition.

This excitement did not last long, and he received some strange news that the former Hangzhou magistrate Chen Shou was killed by Fang La of the Southeast Ming Cult, and his head was cut off and thrown to the county government.

This information is important and I don’t know whether it is true or false. But if it is true, then the Northern Expedition will probably be delayed. In this way, the great achievements of Yan Yun will be further and further away.

Outside the palace gate, the sky was a little cloudy. When Wang Fu came out, he saw Tong Guan, who was an alternative among eunuchs, was discussing things with an official, so he walked over and waited there.

Tong Guan noticed someone behind him, looked back and showed a gentle look, smiled slightly, bowed and said, "I don't know that Shaozai was a little rude behind Tong."

"Tong Shumi is polite. I don't know if I have time now. The carriage is ready there. I want the Privy Councilor to discuss some important matters for a while." Wang Fu was pressing on that matter in his heart, so he naturally needed to find a personal reference. Tong Guan, who has the same goal, is naturally the best candidate.

Tong Guan said goodbye to the official who was talking before, and got on the carriage with Wang Fu. The shaft of the carriage moved, and the brick road raked loudly. In the wing, Wang Fu carefully prepared his emotions and told him the matter.

"... Privy Council and I have the same position. The official also agreed to this Northern Expedition. But a while ago, I don't know if Privy Council knows it? I only learned about this two days ago, because I am afraid that once this matter is heard, it will cause a big disturbance."

Tong Guan originally closed his eyes and rested, but suddenly opened his eyes to look at him, "Will it affect the Northern Expedition?"

"Yes." Wang Fu said it was certain, but in fact he was not sure. "Some day ago, some rumors came from the ***, saying that Admiral Bai discovered a prescription that could prolong life, and was prepared to be presented to the official family. But later it was taken away by the Ming Cult, which was entrenched in the southeast. Because of this, the official family should have been angry, right?"

Tong Guan thought about it carefully, then smiled and said, "There is such a thing that the official asked Tong that day. Why, is the thing you said related to this? If it were just like this, there is no need for Shaozai to worry. Although the official is moved, he doesn't know whether it is true or not. He will not be affected by a mere sect's attack."

"But what if the sent officials are killed?" Wang Fu gently tapped the table and asked him.

"Kill the official?"

Tong Guan almost stood up and stared at him, "Is this a desire to rebel?"

Then, he looked at Wang Fu in confusion, "No, where did a sect get so courageous? Where did Shaozai hear about this?"

"It's true or false, and it's impossible to prove it across thousands of mountains and rivers. The news is probably going to be a month later, but in a few days, I will go to the sea to form an alliance with the Jin people. If the news is true, then Fang Lazhen has the will to rebel, how can we deal with it?"

What Wang Fu said is not unreasonable. There happened to be an alliance to fight against the Liao Kingdom, but there was an internal strife here. At that time, whether to go north or south will become a multiple-choice question between Tong Guan and Wang Fu, and it is still a very difficult multiple-choice question.

"This matter must be dealt with. If you and I have something to do, no one will be able to keep it. I am afraid that the official will be the first to attack you and me." After all, Wang Fu was a person who had been through the storm and waves. If he had something to say and explained it thoroughly, he was not so panicked.

"I will take care of it in the southeast. As for the Northern Expedition, I cannot stop. It is best to pull Cai Xiang in. Even if something happens in the middle, maybe he can make up for the leak."

At this time, the carriage stopped and arrived at Tong Guan's mansion. He got off the carriage and turned around and asked, "If something really happened in the southeast, can you keep it?"

"I'm doing my best."

The curtain was lowered, and the old man with a little gray hair guaranteed it with certainty, and then the carriage drove away. Tong Guan stood tall in front of the mansion with his head held high, frowned and watched the carriage leave, but he was thinking about things in his heart. When he was hanging west, he had never had so many worries, thoughts, and expectations. Now, in just one month, they are all intertwined.

Especially the father-in-law I remembered, he had a vague premonition in his heart.

The carriage disappeared from the corner of the street, and Tong Guan let out a long sigh, "I'm afraid you can't hold it."

"The willow shade is straight, the smoke is green. On the Sui dike, I have seen several times of brushing water, floating in the water, and seeing off my farewell........ The road of Changting, last year, I came... I searched for old traces, and I took advantage of the sad strings of wine, and the lights showed off my leave."

The strings of the piano sounded softly, and the sound was like a clear spring flowing. The woman playing with the piano sound was simple and the syllables were so sad that the song was sang quite sad.

After singing the last word, he gently covered the strings of the piano with his slender hands and said softly: "Why did sister suddenly have Yaxing come to Shishi to listen to the music today?"

The words came out of her little mouth, but her eyes frowned but didn't even look at them.

Under the peach tree, there were petals. The woman dragging the purple skirt listened to her soft and gentle voice. Qiongji couldn't help but snorted coldly and walked over with lotus steps. "I have never seen my sister for many days. I'm not thinking about it, but also because I miss my sister's piano sound. How about playing a song for my sister?"

"Shi Shi said it, I'm afraid it would make my sister unhappy." Li Shi Shi Shi stood up and asked the palace maid beside her to put on the piano, and then said a blessing to Helian Ru, "Shi Shi only plays one song every day. If she plays too much, she is afraid of being troubled by the piano. After all, the future is long, how can she be happy for a while? You said yes, sister."

Helian Ruxin thought about the meaning of her words, and then smiled and said, "Of course it's the reason. My sister is kind and kind, and she has a natural understanding of playing the piano. Since she can't play more, then my sister will say goodbye first. I can already hear a song today, and my sister is very satisfied."

"Shi Shi respectfully sends her sister."

After Li Shishi sent Helian Ruxin to the corridor, he suddenly reminded him again: "When the spring breeze is also cold, my sister looks like she is catching a cold."

On the other side, the purple group nodded with a smile. When he turned around, his face suddenly became ugly. Seeing her leaving, Li Shishi called out to the pavilion: "She has left, Eunuch Li should come out. Always hide like this, I'm afraid it's not good."

A figure flashed behind the pavilion and hurriedly knelt on the spot: "In the harem, Concubine Shu is the most kind-hearted. Xiao Nanzi really has no place to go, so I'll ask the Empress to take it in."

"What did you take her and make Concubine Ru look for you everywhere?" Li Shishi has always been modest and never scolded her servants. Since entering the palace, she has a very good impression of the palace maids and eunuchs.

"Some shameful accounts..." Li Yan raised his head slightly, took out a wrapped book from his chest, and knelt on his knees to serve it.

Li Shishi quickly asked the palace maids around him to put away the thing, and then said, "Then you stay with me for the time being. When your righteous brother comes back, he may be thinking about giving you a place to live in the relationship between the four of you."

After saying that, she sighed and led the palace servants away.

"Empress Xie, Xiao Nanzi, Empress Xie's kindness to save her." The eunuch named Li Yan cried bitterly and lay on the ground.

After a while, he stood up and wiped away his tears, looked in the direction he had been before, spat viciously, and chased after Li Shishi's direction.

…………

"I'm angry to death..."

A glass lampshade fell to the ground with a bang, smashing to pieces.

Helian Ruxin pulled off the purple gauze on her body, raised it, and broke it into several pieces in the air. She was still angry and sat on the bed and said evilly: "A prostitute dares to compete with her master? She actually warned me to act recklessly and have a long way to go. It's just that he relied on his majesty's favor and the power of her righteous brother, and he really didn't take his master seriously."

Immediately, she suppressed her anger and looked at the tall eunuch who was playing with porcelain in the house, "Jinzhong, what happened to you in the morning? Why has Bai Ning not returned to Beijing yet? What actions did he do in the south?"

Wei Jinzhong put the exquisite porcelain back in place and said respectfully: "When you say that, the news from the south seems to have been deliberately cut off, and the empress's eyeliner and ears cannot leave the capital."

Helian Ruxin stood up and asked the maid to change her to gauze. He looked at his soft body in the bronze mirror. While admiring, he said: "It seems that Hai Dafu, who is left behind in the East Factory, did this man's martial arts. It's easy for you to kill him that day. Their East Factory must have information for more than a month. I want these things. I will give you the staff to show you well."

"Yes, please don't worry, Empress."

Wei Jinzhong bowed and prepared to leave.

"Slow down." Helian Ruxin looked at him sideways and raised a sneer, "Take that little girl with her, she is familiar with that place."

"yes."

Immediately, the figure retreated.

...

On the edge of the rockery, a woman squatted there and watched the swimming fish.

Wei Jinzhong walked over, "The Empress has given you instructions, are you willing to go?"

Suddenly, several steel needles waved out of her hand, stood up with a petite body and walked out, with a simple and cold voice, "Go."

Wei Jinzhong looked at her left behind and looked at the pool water.
