Chapter 458 Wind and waves in the capital!
News of the war in the northwest quietly spread in the capital, and such top-secret news from the court spread to everyone in just one day.
Dai Gao was extremely angry, and he even took a rest for a day and secretly assigned someone to investigate the matter. It was obvious that someone was instigating him to do this behind the news. Who did this? Why did he do this?
The news of such a thing made Dai Gao very nervous because he was really worried about his precious daughter. If Dai Jing'er made any mistakes and had any shortcomings, Dai Gao didn't know how to live the rest of his life!
Song Fu'er was also sweating profusely. She went to Dai Gao's study room to serve her, and then she had to go and see what happened to the lady.
What made him feel strange was that the lady was very calm and seemed to have nothing to do. On the contrary, the old man was very upset on Dai Gao's side. He couldn't sit still in the study like an ant in a hot nest. This scene was really weird.
Who is Dai Gao? He is the prime minister of the dynasty, a person above ten thousand people. How could his scheming be so scheming? Even if Mount Tai collapsed before, he would probably remain calm.
But now, just because of a small war in the northwest, he was unstable and confused? Is this just because Dai Gao was worried about his daughter? Song Fu'er savored it carefully and felt that things might not be that simple.
However, if you really want to find out the root of the problem, Song Fuer felt guilty again, because no matter what the reason, Lu Zheng in Northwest may not be able to get kind to him this time.
Lu Zheng was a weak scholar who could write some poems and a little bit of essays. Dai Gao sent him to the northwest and had no hope of killing him. Who would have thought that man's calculations were worse than God's calculations. Lu Zheng had outstanding political achievements in Shatian County. He was invited by Song Wensong to a border county like Yumu County.
What's more coincidental is that the Song family split at this time, and Song Wensong was isolated and had no support and internal and external difficulties. The Turkic barbarians seized this gap to attack Yumu. Song Wensong himself was not here, so how could Lu Zheng stop tens of thousands of Turkic cavalry?
It was just a sentence that life and death have fate, wealth and honor are in heaven. Lu Zheng is a talented person, but his life is too bad and he has no blessings to enjoy...
Dai Gao slept in the study at night, unable to sleep all night, and was awakened by nightmare in the middle of the night. In the dream, his deceased wife repeatedly pointed at his nose and slapped her feet and scolded him, calling him hypocritical and foolish. The maid likes her husband, who is young and talented, is really what she wants, so why can't Dai Gao be satisfied?
Dai Gao had to do the matter of breaking up the Yuanyang. He was clearly sick. His daughter Dai Jinger got sick from the womb. There was nothing he could do about it. Dai Gao was the prime minister, and he lived so old. Where did this disease come from?
"I regret it too much. Who would have thought that this kid could do this so much? He couldn't make him more at ease after going to the northwest. In the end, his intelligence was misled by intelligence. What a pity..." Dai Gao couldn't sleep all night.
He is a man of this age, how can he bear the bones of his body staying up late? But he still has to get up in the morning to go to the cabinet. Fortunately, the emperor has stopped attending the morning court these days. Otherwise, Dai Gao felt that his old bones would have to be given to the morning court today.
...
In Xiyuan, another grand ritual was over. Emperor Xinde was exhausted. He held the whisk in his hand and stared at the auspicious cloud pattern embroidered with golden silk on his Taoist robe. He said hoarsely:
"Senior Brother, tell me what's going on? I spent so much energy and so much resources, but it still failed!
Is our prescription wrong? Are our rules wrong? Or am I not sincere? I am so sincere, why should God be inferior to me?"
The Tianshi Xu Tiandao looked calm, Gu Jing Bubo seemed to have not received any influence from Emperor Xinde's emotions. He pinched his fingers with his hands, gradually frowned slightly, pondered for a while and said:
"Your Majesty, I have calculated it and found that all our agendas are correct. The flaws may be on the immortal fate. The emperor's immortal nobles seem to have encountered a big disaster, I'm afraid this..."
"What?" Emperor Xinde suddenly raised his head and stared at Xu Tian with bloodshot eyes: "Tell me, what's going on?"
Xu Tiandao shook his head and said, "I have been in seclusion with the emperor these days and have no idea about the outside world. The emperor still has to ask and check it out. This matter may be revealed."
Emperor Xinde suddenly stood up and shouted: "Come here, change your clothes! Call your companion to see me!"
The eunuch in charge of the seal of the Sili Supervisor Ming was Feng Ren, who was the most confidant of Emperor Xinde in the inner court. Feng Ren remembers everything that happened in the court every day.
Once Emperor Xinde asked questions, he needed to be very skilled in explaining everything in the court to the emperor. Today, he felt pressured because he said a lot of things in a row and the emperor was not satisfied. What exactly should the emperor listen to?
Feng Ren felt sweaty on his forehead and couldn't help but glance at Xu Tiandao standing next to Emperor Xinde. At this time, he could only look at Xu Tiandao asking for help.
Xu Tiandao's expression remained unchanged, but the whisk in his hand changed from his right hand to his left hand. Who is Feng Ren? How could he be an ordinary person from an ordinary eunuch to the top figure in the 13th priest in the inner court and become the best companion of Emperor Xinde?
Xu Tiandao's subtle action made him immediately think of the thing about the left hand as "Western" and the west... By the way, something happened in the capital has spread very quickly recently, and he immediately said:
"Emperor, there is another incident that happened in the northwest. Yumu County in the northwest was surrounded by Turkic thieves. The general who guarded the city, Song Wensong, was not in the city. There was only county Zun Lu Zheng in the county town.
If nothing unexpected happens, Lu Zheng will probably find it difficult to survive this disaster. Many people in the capital are sorry for this!"
Feng Ren said this, but did not dare to have any prejudice, because he didn't know why the emperor suddenly asked about these things. The emperor, who had never cared about the government, suddenly cared about the war in the northwest?
Emperor Xinde stood there on the spot. He frowned slightly and said, "Lu Zheng...this name..."
Xu Tiandao said on the side: "So that's it! It seems that I'm not wrong. Did the emperor forget the great fasting ceremony that day? This Lu Zheng is the emperor's immortal fate..."
"By the way, I remember it! I have also met him. He is young and promising. He is a talent in my Dakang Dynasty! What's going on? Being surrounded? How is there any danger?"
Feng Ren was timid and did not dare to speak. Emperor Xinde said coldly: "Old guy, why are you mute? What I ask you!"
Feng Ren reached out and wiped the sweat from his face, saying, "Report to the emperor, I don't understand military affairs, but according to rumors outside, Lu Zheng should be in danger this time.
The tens of thousands of iron cavalry of the Turks were all tigers and wolfsmen, and the elm was a place of war and the defense had been abandoned for many years. Besides, there were no soldiers in the city, and the wife of Hekuo was cruel and bloodthirsty. Since Lord Lu was a court official, he would definitely not surrender. I am afraid he would not be able to escape when he turned around..."
"Bang!" Emperor Xinde suddenly threw a white jade Ruyi in his hand to the ground and said angrily: "It's outrageous. The Turks deceived me too much. Will there be no one in my Dakang Dynasty?
What did Dai Gao do for food? He didn't report such a big thing. I think he, the prime minister, had dereliction of duty, and Lu Zheng was also the Jie Yuan in Jiangnan, a talented man in our dynasty and a pillar of the country.
However, Dai Gao exiled him because he offended the Prime Minister's Mansion. This behavior is too much. Do you really think that I can't control him anymore?"
Emperor Xinde was furious and panicked in Xiyuan. The palace maids and eunuchs serving outside were all frightened to the faces. The emperor's personality became increasingly elusive. After the Chinese New Year, Xiyuan killed several eunuchs and palace maids.
Everyone can imagine the fear in their hearts when they see that the servants who work together on weekdays are beaten to death one by one.
Feng Ren was also afraid. His fat body crawled on the ground, and his whole body was trembling. Xu Tiandao coughed gently and said:
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I just calculated that this is the disaster that the emperor should have. The so-called human calculation is not as good as the heavenly calculation. Even if the emperor avoids it in every way, it will be difficult for him to escape the disaster." Xu Tian said.
Emperor Xinde's face cleared a little and said, "Senior brother, don't persuade me. Lu Zheng is the first-class talent in my Great Kang Dynasty. If he has three or two shortcomings, he will definitely punish the relevant people severely, hum..."
Feng Ren crawled on the ground, wondering in his heart that Lu Zheng was just a concubine in the declining Jiangnan family. What is it that if he was a little bit? Does the Dakang Dynasty still lack people who are good at writing? Why does the emperor value this person so much?
Feng Ren silently remembered the name Lu Zheng in his heart, and at the same time he thought that he would shut up the several servants and eunuchs present today. Such news must not be spread outside, because once it is spread, Feng Ren will lose his advantage. Lu Zheng is a huge resource. It will benefit him well. This is the key to his ability to stand firmly and firmly grasp the inner court for so many years.
Emperor Xinde waved his hand, Feng Ren and other servants all retreated, Xu Tiandao smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, calm down, I actually think this is a happy event! Since Lu Zheng is a man of immortality, how can he die so easily?
I just thought about it. Although Lu Zheng has to go through a disaster in the northwest this time, there is no danger! Lu Zheng has nothing to do, but he has helped you overcome a disaster. Is this a happy event?"
Emperor Xinde was slightly stunned for a moment, and then said, "Is it really so? Sure enough, the immortal way is unpredictable. Senior brother's Taoism is ultimately superior to me! It's just that this time I ruined so many materials, which is a pity..."
Xu Tiandao said: "Your Majesty, don't say that. We seek immortals all act against the will of heaven. How can we do everything go smoothly? If seeking immortals is so simple, wouldn't everyone be able to attain enlightenment?
