I am fish

Geng Bai stood in front of Changning Palace, Empress Dowager Geng's bedroom, sweating profusely.

The Queen Mother was taking a nap, and he had been waiting here for an hour. When he saw Aunt Wang coming out, he immediately went up to her and asked, "Did the Queen Mother wake up from her afternoon nap?"

Aunt Wang nodded and said: "The queen mother woke up, but the old headache has recurred, and I confess that I want to rest. Uncle Guo, please go back."

Geng Bai said anxiously: "Is the Empress Dowager's illness serious? Has the Empress Dowager been announced?"

"There are medicines prepared on weekdays. Uncle Guo doesn't have to worry." She seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then said, "Uncle Guo, there are some things that this old slave is not qualified to say, but after all, this old slave was born in the Geng family. Serving the Empress Dowager to this day, I don’t want to see the disasters in the history books also fall on our Geng family. Ever since His Majesty was assassinated that day, the Empress Dowager suffered from headaches for three whole days. Apart from His Majesty, the only concern is the safety of the Geng family. Although Uncle Guo is His Majesty's own uncle, he has watched His Majesty grow up since he was a child, but Uncle Guo must never forget that you are also His Majesty's servant, so you must not worry about the future. The interests of the emperor are at odds with the emperor. For the continuation and glory of the Geng family for generations, the uncle of the country should retire as soon as possible."

Geng Bai's face turned pale: "Is this what the Empress Dowager means?"

Aunt Wang shook her head and said nothing, turned around and went back.

At the court today, Luan Jiang was very emotional about the release of Zhen Wenjun.

How could the emperor's assassination be exposed so lightly?And the confession of the captive traitor was very vicious and cunning, and he actually slandered the Geng family, saying that the Geng family colluded with the blue-armed traitor to assassinate him!How can it be!If Geng Yang hadn't led people to escort him in time, the consequences would have been disastrous!If the Geng clan did it, why did Geng Yang come to rescue him?Is not this contradictory?This matter is obviously because someone colluded with the rebels to plant and frame him, which led to the leakage of the whereabouts of the emperor, and he was almost in danger!In this case, Lieutenant Zhen Wenjun, the lieutenant of the Chinese Military Academy, was the most suspect. Whether it was a bad escort or whether he entered the imperial prison unscathed, it could prove that he was protected by his party members.Wouldn't it chill the heart of a truly loyal and virtuous minister if he was reckless and indulgent?

After some impassioned Luan Jiang impeached Tingwei Guan Xun for perverting the law for personal gain. He was a fellow of the Zhen family and hoped that the emperor would punish him.

Luan Jiang said that he had heard that Zhen Wenjun had been kind to Jiang Huang. During his detention, he was not tortured and even served him with good food and drink. He never even had the most basic interrogation.This fact is a disregard for Da Yu's law, and even more contempt for the emperor!If everyone in the court is based on emotion, where is the court?Where is the law?This is the beginning of the national rift, the appearance of red, purple, and vermilion!

Luan Jiang spoke impassionedly and spit, before Li Yanyi opened his mouth, Guan Xun, who was impeached by name, stood up calmly and said:

"Since Shang Shucheng categorically accused Captain Zhen of colluding with thieves, then there is solid evidence. Why not hand over the evidence to Guan, and he will know it at a glance."

Luan Jiang snorted coldly: "As a court lieutenant, it is your duty to investigate and resolve cases. How can you do it for me? Your Majesty's whereabouts were very secret that day. How could ordinary rebels find their traces? And the person in charge of His Majesty's itinerary at that time It is that Zhen Wenjun! Even if you have no experience in solving cases, this officer knows that this matter must have something to do with that Zhen Wenjun! Could it be that everyone knows this, Guan Tingwei, you have been a Tingwei for so many years, you still can’t think of it , do you need an officer to raise something?"

Facing Luan Jiang's aggressive rhetorical question, Guan Xun didn't seem to be annoyed at all, and nodded:

"Shang Shucheng is right. If no one reported the news, those blue-armed rebels would not have found His Majesty so easily. However, the person who colluded was indeed not Zhen Wenjun. His Majesty was assassinated that day, and he died before Geng Yao arrived. The enemy is Xiaowei Zhen. If you want to reward him for his meritorious deeds, Xiaowei Zhen should make the first contribution. According to what Shang Shucheng said, Xiaowei Zhen has no possibility of killing the king. Every word Guan said has the meaning of being present at that time. People's confessions are not just nonsense. If Shang Shucheng suspects that Guan is playing for selfishness, he can use evidence to speak instead of criticizing his heart!"

Luan Jiang immediately changed the angle of impeachment: "No one in the center knows that if you enter your prison, you will lose a layer of skin if you don't die. Even Duke Wei had a kneecap cut off by you. But now that Zhen Wenjun is released from prison It was completely intact at the time, why, I didn't expect Guan Tingwei to be a person who cherishes fragrance and cherishes jade, disrespect and disrespect."

Luan Jiang was dragged and talked all night by Geng Bai last night, and told him how to excuse the Geng family this morning.Don't worry about the rest, just bite Zhen Wenjun and Guan Xun hard and hold on.

The more Luan Jiang talked, the more evil he became, the more excited he became. Wei Tingxu, who had been on the sidelines for a long time and understood Luan Jiang's ways, said calmly:

"I don't know how Shang Shucheng is sure that Captain Zhen came out of the imperial prison intact, with no marks of execution on his body? Could it be that Captain Zhen was required to take off his clothes and have his wounds inspected after he left the imperial prison? Captain Zhen was successful in rescuing him this time. Rewards for meritorious deeds, but because of Shang Shucheng's fallacies, you suffered innocent disasters. Shang Shucheng, what you have done is not to chill the hearts of loyal and virtuous ministers? It even caused your Majesty to suffer the stigma of unknown rewards and punishments. I am afraid that no one can win if you have ulterior motives Shang Shucheng, Shang Shucheng should go to the Imperial Prison."

Luan Jiang was about to speak, Wei Tingxu suddenly turned his attention to his background: "It is said that Shang Shucheng used to be the prefect of Hui County?"

Seeing her suddenly changing the subject, Luan Jiang didn't take it lightly, so he shut up honestly.

"Uncle Guo was promoted all the way to transfer Shang Shucheng to Beijing. Speaking of which, Uncle Guo is Shang Shucheng's bole. No wonder Shang Shucheng opened his eyes and pretended to be blind and framed Zhongliang. It turned out that he was just slapping horses, sucking carbuncles and hemorrhoids, in order to please Guojiu .”

Luan Jiang hated others to say that he was flattering, and when Wei Tingxu mentioned it, he said angrily: "You shameless temptress, you actually spitting blood! The most poisonous thing is a woman's heart, who is secretly arranging everything, Wei Tingxu you know best! "

That's all for "witches", this sentence "the most poisonous thing is a woman's heart" really made everyone in the court break into a cold sweat for Luan Jiang.Luan Jiang was really in a hurry, otherwise he wouldn't have scolded the emperor.

Li Yanyi frowned and interrupted them: "Okay, there's no need to quarrel. It is a fact that Zhen Wenjun has made meritorious deeds, and Luan Qing must not be caught in the dark. As for how the blue-armed traitor found out about the widow's whereabouts, the widow has already found clues and is currently investigating. Presumably there will be conclusions in the past few days. It is impossible for the widow to let go of any traitor. Whether it is the uncle of the country or an ordinary courtier, as long as he breaks the law, he will be punished! Bar."

After the morning retreat, Luan Jiang hurriedly walked out of the Forbidden Garden, Geng Bai's carriage was just outside the gate of the Forbidden Garden.

As soon as Luan Jiang got into the carriage and had a face-to-face meeting with Geng Bai in the carriage, he suddenly stopped the carriage by Wei Guang Shaoling, the internal military academy of the Moon Army, and greeted Uncle Guo at the front of the carriage, saying that His Majesty had summoned him.

Geng Bai's heart skipped a beat, so he got out of the car and left with her.

As soon as Gengbai entered the imperial study room, before he finished his ceremony, something flew towards his head.Gengbai didn't dare to hide and could only stick close to it, until the thing hit the top of his head and fell to the ground before he saw clearly that it was a volume.

Li Yanyi didn't make any transition, changed his composure in the Tai Chi Hall, pointed at him and said loudly: "Show me a good look!"

Gengbai quickly picked it up, the more he looked at it, the paler his face, the more cold sweat he got, and when he read the last word, he fell to the ground and shouted his innocence.Said that the Geng family never dared to have any thoughts of rebellion, and the confessions of this blue-armed traitor were all slander!

Li Yanyi scolded: "What is the Geng family? They are relatives of the emperor! They are the mother's family of the current empress dowager! If you really keep your own place, how can they have the opportunity to frame your uncle?! Did you participate in this matter?" I know how much I have participated in! Don't say that the widow will not show mercy to you, if it weren't for the sake of you being my uncle, how many heads in the Geng family would not be enough to chop off!"

Gengbai: "Minister..."

Li Yanyi: "Don't say you don't dare! If you don't dare, you can even fight with the remnants of the Xie family. If you dare, today the widow has already died in your hands! You have ascended the throne and proclaimed yourself emperor since you were born?!"

Geng Bai's face was almost on the ground: "Even if I die, I would never dare to have such thoughts! Your Majesty has learned from you!"

Li Yanyi picked up the tea bowl on the table and calmed down, and after a long delay, she came over to help Geng Bai, and said earnestly:

"Uncle! You should know that it is not easy for the widow. The reform that the widow is going to implement now does hurt some interests of the Geng family. But the Geng family is the queen mother's mother family, so why not the widow's relatives? How can the widow really let the Geng family suffer? This volume of dossiers ends here, and I hope that my uncle can understand the painstaking efforts of the widow. You must not only value this little profit, and put Da Yu's community as the most important thing in everything! Don't be taken advantage of by others. The Geng family is the most solid backing for the widow."

Geng Bai hurriedly knelt down to thank him: "The entire Geng family swears allegiance to the death! We will never let down the high hopes His Majesty has given us today!"

Li Yanyi nodded and said: "Gengyou will let him go out to experience a good experience, uncle can't dote on him anymore."

Gengbai: "Yes!"

Li Yanyi: "There is one more thing. Luan Jiang is right. The assassination of a widow is no small matter. Someone must be responsible for this matter. Uncle should know what to do."

"This..." Geng Bai raised his head and saw the murderous intent in Li Yanyi's eyes, he hurriedly lowered his head and replied, "Old minister understands."

"By the way, there is one more thing." Li Yanyi didn't understand why Gengbai was always verbally annoying, why he suddenly made such an aggressive move this time, and even dared to take credit for the assassination.After asking, I found out that someone was instigating behind the scenes.

"Mr. Yunmeng, Fang Huaiyuan?" Li Yanyi knew this person, "Isn't he Xie Fuchen's adviser? How did he come to your house?"

Gengbai had no choice but to express the little thoughts in his heart.He regards Wei Tingxu as a thorn in his side, and Xie Fuchen's advisers naturally also hate Wei Tingxu.I thought that Mr. Yunmeng would definitely not lie to him, but I didn't expect that Fang Huaiyuan was the first to run away after the Dongchuang incident, and he couldn't find a hair.Now that I think about it, I don't know what this person is thinking.

Li Yanyi didn't expect that his random question would lead to the strangest point.

Mr. Yunmeng?

Coming out of the imperial study room, Gengbai originally wanted to see the queen mother, but he was rejected by the queen mother and was taught a lesson by Aunt Wang, so he completely lost his hostility.

Two days later, Geng Yang took the lead in playing to the emperor, impeaching Luan Jiang for colluding with the rest of the Xie clan in an attempt to rebel.Wei Tingxu also took out the seized confidential letters about the correspondence between Luan Jiang and the rest of the Xie clan in the early court.Luan Jiang didn't expect that he would become a scapegoat. When he was crying out for injustice, Guan Xun presented the confession given by the blue-armed traitor, and everything came to fruition, and the evidence was conclusive.

There was no interrogation process, and Luan Jiang was directly convicted of treason, Yi nationality.

At the same time, the former Zhonglang General Xiao Nan suddenly contracted dysentery and died of a sudden illness.

Li Yanyi can't let people know that Xiao Nan is the remnant of the Xie family, colluding with the uncle of the country to assassinate the emperor, otherwise the officials will definitely write a letter to persuade them, asking for a thorough investigation of the identity of everyone in the Moon Chasing Army, which will hurt the foundation of the Moon Chasing Army Interested people question the capital of the forbidden army.Besides, once the investigation starts, if the true identity of Zhen Wenjun, the school lieutenant, is revealed, it will be quite difficult for Li Yanyi.

Therefore, from the time Xiao Nan was arrested and interrogated to the "death of illness", the whole process was not made public. Everyone knew that she was missing, and very few people knew her real whereabouts.

Guan Xun took off his official robe and returned to the mansion. When Jiang Huang changed his clothes, Guan Xun sighed: "My hands are completely unclean."

When the fourth year of Zhaowu was approaching, Gengbai's eldest son, Gengyou, obediently went to Northern Xinjiang to serve as Boqin's lieutenant. Gengbai would never impeach and trouble Wei Tingxu again, and temporarily became an honest dog. House cat.

Zhen Wenjun served as an escort, and in order to make up for the crimes she suffered in the Imperial Prison, Li Yanyi personally appointed her as a general of the moon chasing army, and she was also the youngest general in the history of Dayu.

Wei Tingxu made great contributions in eradicating the rebellious party, was promoted to secretary supervisor, and became the leader of the secretary desk.

Li Yanyi reorganizes the Moon Chasing Army, and the heavy responsibility of selecting candidates falls on Ah Xin's shoulders.This matter was naturally carried out in a low-key and secret manner.

Empress Dowager Geng knew about Ah Xin's return to Runing. Back then, Empress Dowager Geng couldn't bear to send assassins to kill Ah Xin when she was still in northern Xinjiang. Let her whole body be covered with thorns, and the smell of her fireworks can be smelled from miles away.

The Empress Dowager Geng approached Li Yanyi many times, and every time Li Yanyi just avoided him, leaving the Empress Dowager Geng in vain.There were several times when Empress Dowager Geng wanted to go directly into the Taiji Hall to find Li Yanyi. After all, she spent the longest time in the Taiji Hall, and she could tell if she was inside or not by seeing whether the Moon Chasing Army was guarding outside.Unexpectedly, Empress Dowager Geng wanted to go in but was stopped by Zhen Wenjun.Zhen Wenjun is the general in charge of Li Yanyi's safety. As long as there is no promise from Li Yanyi, no one can break into the Taiji Hall, otherwise Zhen Wenjun has the right to kill first and then play.

Empress Dowager Geng was furious and reprimanded Zhen Wenjun: "How dare you stop Ai's family!"

Zhen Wenjun knelt on the ground and said softly, "Please don't embarrass my humble minister, the Queen Mother."

Zhen Wenjun is justified in this matter, no matter where it is put, it makes sense.Since Li Yanyi ascended the throne, Empress Dowager Geng has completely delegated power, and no longer listens to politics behind a curtain.At the beginning, the ministers who knew about her listening to the government behind the curtain almost changed a whole group, but in the past four years, Empress Dowager Geng no longer had the pivotal position when she controlled Emperor Huai.The current Empress Dowager Geng is just an old lady who doesn't show up often, and really lives in the palace and people say.

Empress Dowager Geng knew that Zhen Wenjun was Li Yanyi's confidant. If Empress Dowager Geng deliberately made things difficult for Zhen Wenjun, people might speculate that she and Li Yanyi's mother and daughter were at odds.Even if she didn't have this speculation, if she continued to mess around, she would not lose her reputation for being old and disrespectful.As the empress dowager, Empress Dowager Geng couldn't argue with a loyal courtier, so she could only leave with a sigh of relief.

The anger on the side of Empress Dowager Geng was raging, but Li Yanyi obediently came to pay her respects.Before Empress Dowager Geng got angry, she led the two children who followed her to the Empress Dowager, and asked them to kneel down and call her "grandmother".

This sweet "grandmother" instantly extinguished the evil fire of the Empress Dowager Geng these days. She looked at the two crystal clear children, and then at Li Yanyi's calm smile, it was incredible.

The two children, a boy and a girl, looked like five or six years old. They were innocent and cute, and they had the noble air and cleverness unique to the royal family. They bowed to the ground very politely.Empress Dowager Geng recognized the two children and had come to pay her birthday wishes.There were too many people from the clan's family who came to pay their respects, and the ones who could impress the Empress Dowager Geng must be the outstanding ones, and Li Yanyi had nothing wrong with picking them.

Li Yanyi explained that Mu'er and Gong'er were the crown princes selected from the clan, and they would be her princes in the future. She would carefully train them both and choose one of them as the crown prince, who would inherit the throne in the future.

Empress Dowager Geng did not expect Li Yanyi to adopt two children in silence. She didn't tell her mother about it, so she definitely didn't want her to talk about it.Now that the deal is done, it is put on the table. First, it is to pull out the thorn that has been stuck between their mother and daughter for a long time, which is a step back.Although she still has no empress, she has a prince, and Empress Dowager Geng can't urge her to make a prince immediately. After all, Li Yanyi has just ascended the throne not long ago, and her body is in good health when she is not yet forty. not too late.On the other hand, Li Yanyi also took the opportunity to express his attitude, he will never be influenced by others, he will never do what he doesn't want to do, and he will tell you the result after he has done what he wants to do in advance.Just like these two adoptive princes, Li Yanyi had chosen by herself and then informed Queen Mother Geng, no matter whether Queen Mother Geng likes it or not, the candidates have already been decided, and she, Li Yanyi, made the choice herself.

Empress Dowager Geng pulled Mu'er and Gong'er up and looked at them carefully, a man and a woman, Li Yanyi really didn't want anyone to catch them.

Seeing Empress Dowager Geng happily taking Mu'er Gong'er to Yijing Garden to enjoy the flowers, Li Yanyi was finally relieved and strode towards the Tai Chi Hall after having coaxed the Queen Mother back.

The reason she had been dragging the crown prince back then was to wait for the girls from Changge Country to practice the secret art of giving birth with Ah Xin.Originally, I was full of expectations, but I didn't expect it to be Wei Tingxu's trick.Li Yanyi has given up hope in the art of giving birth to girls, so why not quickly confirm the Crown Prince and silence the Queen Mother, and make a decision on the future after the important matters such as the Haina Reform and Wanxiang Road are resolved.

Ah Xin secretly selected a group of strong and strong women for Li Yanyi to fill in the Moon Chasing Army. These recruits came from slums, and Ah Xin gave them a bite to eat to save their lives, and some were from Li Yanyi's clan who were martial or talented woman.Before these people were selected as the reserve army of the Moon Chasing Army, Ah Xin would personally investigate their backgrounds, as long as there was any suspicious person, it would be impossible for them to enter the reserve army.Once selected into the army, Ah Xin will train them hellishly and train them with the standards of a dead soldier.

Ah Xin is more qualified than anyone else to form and train a new Moon Chaser Army, and now she is also Li Yanyi's most trusted person.

Ah Xin is slowly replacing the blood of the Moon Chasing Army, while Zhen Wenjun, the new Zhonglang general of the Moon Chasing Army, has already changed into an official uniform embroidered with a shining full moon. Lifelike, it seems that you can feel a trace of water vapor on the coast.

Wei Tingxu fastened the golden belt and put on the bamboo moon badge for her, looking at Zhen Wenjun's heroic figure, he couldn't hide his smile.

Zhen Wenjun's shyness came from nowhere, maybe it was because of his promotion, or maybe it was because the wedding date of the two of them was finally set.

The same-sex marriage law has been drafted, and the first pair of promoters are needed. Li Yanyi personally helped them choose a date.

Next year, the eighth day of February in the fourth year of Zhaowu will be an auspicious day suitable for marriage.
