Shengjing Conspiracy

In Fengtian Palace, the emperor sitting on the dragon chair put down his pocket book, looked at the dark official hat under his eyes, and felt a little bored in his heart, "Is there anyone willing to go?"

The officials in the court looked at each other in blank dismay, keeping their eyes on their noses, their noses, their hearts, and their hearts, saying that the matter had nothing to do with them.

The officials didn't speak, and the emperor followed suit. It was all based on the idea of ​​seeing who would admit defeat first.

As for why there is such a release, we have to start from three months ago.

In the fifth year of Apocalypse, in the seventh month of Guimao, two princes of the Raksha Kingdom were visiting the border town and disappeared in the evening, neither alive nor dead.

The king of the Raksha Kingdom claimed that he loved the two princes very much, so he sent people to search vigorously, only to find that the disappearance was not an isolated case. It was known that at least a dozen children had disappeared. Because they were involved with the border town, they had no choice but to report to Sheng Ask for help.

I lost my son and couldn't find it by myself, so asking others to help find it together sounds like nothing wrong with it, and it seems immoral not to help.

But how many of these officials who sneaked into the court are so stupid, they all feel like mirrors in their hearts at this time. The Raksha Kingdom said so on the face, but in fact they are hiding evil intentions.

It is nothing more than wanting to use this as an excuse to invade the border, or if it is said to be sent to the imperial envoy to handle the case, if it is not good, it will become a hostage and die in Damo in minutes.

So when the emperor asked, none of the officials answered, and they had no interest in seeking their own death.

Wen Youqing, who was standing behind, yawned secretly. She bought a new storybook yesterday, and saw it late into the night without paying attention, and almost didn't get up to nod.

Looking around from the corner of his eyes, he thought to himself that the emperor knew that no one wanted to go, so it would be better if he just ordered people to come out, it was wasteful and embarrassing.

He was thinking about it like this, and was pushed by someone unexpectedly, and when he came back to his senses, he was already standing in the center of the court hall, and the emperor had already seen him.

"Since Wen Qing took the initiative to stand up, let Wen Qing handle this matter."

Wen Youqing: "...the minister obeys the order."

He looked at You Sizheng, who framed him, and saw that the other party seemed as if nothing had happened, and the corners of his mouth slightly twitched.

Well, you dung slave, when the master comes back, I will cure you and go home to take care of you!

After solving the troubles of the Raksha Kingdom, the emperor said a few more innocuous words and then went down to court.

After leaving Fengtian Hall, Wen Youqing ignored You Sizheng who wanted to make sarcastic remarks, and thought about what luggage to bring on the road.

"Tanya! Tanya, wait!"

Just as I was thinking hard, I stopped when I heard someone calling behind me, "Old Li."

The person who came was Li Peien, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy. Li was over half a century old. He and Wen Youqing's grandfather were old friends. good.

"Tanya, you can't go to this city." Li Peien is an old scholar, who has spent his whole life in the Imperial Academy to study and has no great ambitions. Wen Youqing was his most promising student when he was still in the Imperial Academy.

Indulging in learning does not mean that he does not understand government affairs. It is precisely because he understands so well that he can avoid those intrigues sensitively. At this time, his favorite student accepted the hot potato, and the old scholar couldn't sit still. If you hand over the booklet, you just report illness and stay at home, and you must never go to this city!"

Wen Youqing looked at Li Peien anxiously, and felt a little warm in her heart, "Mr. Li is worrying too much, I must go to this city, and the emperor will think I can't be reused at this time, and I'm done as an official. .”

"But that's better than losing your life."

"No, this trip is not a dead end, Mr. Li is at ease."

Wen Youqing was not afraid of this case. At the beginning, he didn't fight against it not because he was afraid of trouble, but because he felt that the border town was exposed to wind and sun, and he was not used to dealing with military officers. not good.

Li Peien was still worried and wanted to say a few more words, Wen Youqing said, "Of course I have my own arrangements."

Seeing him insisting on this, Li Peien also knew that he couldn't talk to him, so he could only sigh and leave with his hands behind his back.

Watching the old man go away, Wen Youqing raised his head and looked at the sky with his hands in his hands, and smiled at the flowing clouds that sometimes gather and sometimes disperse, "I hope this trip to the border town will not be too boring."

Apocalypse five years, border town.

The border town had just defended against a sand bandit. A man stood with his hands behind his back on the majestic city wall. He had a high nose and deep eyes. His pupils were not brown and black like the Han people, but had a faint blue color. He looked a bit like a barbarian.

At this moment, he was looking into the distance, not as if he was looking at the soldiers cleaning up the battlefield, but as if he was waiting for something.

"General, there is a letter from there. The imperial envoy from the imperial court will arrive today." The guard in black said beside the man.

The man turned around. He was tall and straight, just standing there made people feel intimidated, not to mention those deep eyes, just looking at you lightly would make you feel cold all over your body.

It's a pity that a good face will make people fearful, and there is no mood to appreciate whether it is handsome or not.

I didn't expect to get an answer, but the man who has always been taciturn said: "Open the city gate."

The guard was stunned, and the man said again: "It's already here."

The guards looked outside the city, and saw a row of black spots in the distance that couldn't be seen unless they looked carefully. It seemed that a group of people was slowly approaching.

"Get ready for reception." The man's calm voice was the same as usual, but it gave off a feeling of suppressing some joyful emotions.

Thinking of the man who came to guard the city wall almost every day since the imperial court made the decree, like a watchman stone stuck on the seashore, the guards scratched their heads in confusion, did the general expect the imperial envoy to come like this?

Before anyone could think clearly, the man had already set off down the city wall, and the guards hurriedly followed, and at the same time became more certain of his thoughts.

The general is really looking forward to the arrival of the imperial envoy!

On the edge of the desert, a group of carriages drove slowly under the setting sun.

This sandy land is no better than dirt roads and rocky roads. The ground is soft and difficult for horse-drawn carriages. The speed of the team that entered this land boundary slowed down.

And inside the carriage, compared to the windy and sandy outside, it is much more comfortable here, and it can even be regarded as enjoyment.

There are several soft pillows stacked in the spacious compartment, and one person leans on it, holding a book with jade-like fingers, flipping it from time to time.

"Master, the tea is getting cold." The maid kneeling on the outside of the carriage said softly.

The man responded, sat up slowly, put down the book and took a sip from the teacup, "Jian Jia, do you know where we are going on this trip?"

"We're going to the border town this time."

"That's right, go to the border town. I haven't been to this place for many years."

The person who is called the master by the maid is thin but not weak. Looking at his face, he has bright eyes and a pair of peach blossom eyes. If he looks at you lightly, his soul will be half hooked. He Xi, anyone who saw it would say that he looked like a fairy.
