Traitor, he is bent on death

Jiang Jintang's patience was completely exhausted, he raised his eyebrows and stared at Xuan Lan coldly, "Your Majesty, I heard from Wang Laifu that the memorials in the imperial study have piled up into mountains."

The implication is that you are so free, why don't you go and read the booklet.

Xuan Lan snorted softly, "It turns out that I have become a donkey's liver and lungs with my kindness."

He saw Jiang Jintang's eyes stained a little pink because of his displeasure, and suddenly smiled again, with a soft voice characteristic of young people: "Isn't I thinking that Nine Thousand Years is infatuated with Princess Fulu? Nine thousand years old, don't be angry."

His appearance reminded Jiang Jintang of his childhood.

Speaking of which, he had hugged the little crown prince Xuan Lan back then. At that time, he never imagined that their relationship would be so tense after more than ten years.

Xuan Lan was much more likable when he was a child than he is now. If he wanted something from others, he would act like a baby. Unpredictable temperament.

Thinking of this, Jiang Jintang twitched the corner of his lips, and said calmly: "Thank you for your kindness, but my official duties are really complicated, please forgive me."

Seeing that she put down her airs and did not get Jiang Jintang's good face, but was even colder than before, the expression on Xuan Lan's face immediately became gloomy, she sneered, and left with a flick of her sleeve.

Wang Laifu quickly saluted Jiang Jintang, and hurriedly chased him out with a pair of short legs.

Yao Chunhui was stunned by Xuan Lan's sudden anger, his shoulders shrank, Jiang Jintang said flatly, "Don't be afraid, now you and I are fiancée, he won't do anything to you."

Yao Chunhui pursed his lips, not daring to look at Jiang Jintang's face, and whispered, "...Thank you Jiuqian."

She smiled wryly: "I know that you just saved me..."

Jiang Jintang coughed twice with his fingers pressed against his lips, his eyebrows furrowed because of the severe pain in his lungs, Qingyue's voice was a little hoarse: "This is what your father meant. It is not easy for you to survive, he hopes you cherish it .”

With tears in his eyes, Yao Chunhui nodded heavily: "I see!"

"I'm leaving first." Jiang Jintang glanced at the sky outside, Shanyue came in and put a cloak on him, "If Xuanlan makes things difficult for you, bear with it, he has a childish temper, don't be as knowledgeable as him."

It took Yao Chunhui a long time to realize that "Xuanlan" is the name of the current emperor. He trembled in fright, and after listening to Jiang Jintang's words, he realized what a "power minister" is.

Just ask, in this world, who dares to call the Ninth Five-Year Lord by his name, and who dares to say that the king is a child?

When Yao Chunhui came to his senses, Jiang Jintang had already left, and the door was not closed yet. A cold wind with a little snow came in, blowing away the lingering scent of auspicious brain in Huatang. Finally, I smelled a faint scent of Tang flowers.

A court lady came in from the outside and said softly: "Princess, let's go, this is His Majesty's palace, you can't stay here for long."

Yao Chunhui nodded and walked out with the maid, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a beautiful portrait hanging on the wall next to him.

The girl in the painting is beautiful, graceful and dignified, even if it is just a portrait, it has an indescribable majesty.

Yao Chunhui was stunned, and stopped: "...Sister, is this... Your Majesty's sweetheart?"

The portrait hangs in the emperor's bedroom, it seems that only the emperor's sweetheart has the qualification.

The palace maid looked up, then immediately lowered her head, and said, "Don't call the princess the elder sister of the servant girl, the servant girl can't afford it... This is Empress Dowager Renhui, His Majesty's biological mother."

"Your Majesty's biological mother is not..." Yao Chunhui was surprised.

The maid immediately said: "Princess, please be careful."

Yao Chunhui shut up.

She knew that this was a taboo for the emperor, the palace, the capital, and even the entire great cause.

Empress Dowager Renhui was killed by Nine Thousand Years Old in Shouan Palace during the enthronement ceremony of the Young Emperor. The blood soaked the luxurious court clothes, and she died with regret.

All the three-year-old children on the street knew about it, but even the emperor dared not inquire about Jiuqian's crime.

Just because he is powerful, surly and ruthless, he is the biggest treacherous person in the Daye Dynasty.

……

Jiang Jintang came out of the palace, leaning on the carriage a little sleepy, Shanyue had just received a carrier pigeon, he opened the letter to read it, and said in a low voice: "Master, the latest news, Wang An's carriage has reached the border of the capital, it should be We can enter the city tonight."

Jiang Jintang raised his thin eyelids, looked at the cold snow outside the car window, and smiled: "Auspicious snow heralds a good year, such heavy snow buried Xuan Ke's bones... What a pity."

Shanyue had the same worries as Qin Xu, and said: "Master, now is not a good time to take action against King An. If something goes wrong, the relationship between you and His Majesty will definitely get worse..."

"I understand Xuan Ke." Jiang Jintang raised his hand to interrupt Shanyue's words, and said, "I won't let him go when he returns to Beijing this time, and he won't let me go either. Either he dies or I die, why should I be scruples .Let's talk about that bastard Xuanlan..."

Jiang Jintang rubbed his eyebrows: "If he can kill me now, he chooses Che Crack, and if he can kill me after I kill Xuan Ke, he chooses Ling Chi, what a difference it will make."

Shanyue took a deep breath, knowing that Jiang Jintang would not listen to her persuasion, and said instead: "I heard from General Qin last time that Master and King An have some old enemies?"

He only followed Jiang Jintang about six or seven years ago, and he didn't know about Jiang Jintang's life in the palace before that.

"It's more than an old enmity." Jiang Jintang said with a smile, "It's a blood feud."

Shanyue was startled and couldn't help wanting to know more, but Jiang Jintang didn't continue talking. He looked at the passers-by outside the window and seemed to be lost in his own thoughts.

Being mentioned by Shanyue, Jiang Jintang really remembered that year in the deep palace, Xuan Ke condescended to look at him kneeling on the ground like a bereaved dog, and touched his cheek with pity, and said softly: "... ...It's a pity that you were born at the wrong time, all the glory does not belong to you, are you still awake Jiang Jintang, you are now a defeated dog, whose life do you want?"

As the wind passed, Shanyue lowered the curtains of the car, fearing that Jiang Jintang would catch cold, so Jiang Jintang looked away and smiled.

Xuan Ke is actually quite right. He was born at an untimely time and has no other glory, but...

Even if he is a defeated dog, he can still tear off another layer of flesh from Xuan Ke.

……

In the eyes of civil and military officials, Dongchang is the kennel of the treacherous official Jiang Jintang. Countless eagle dogs and running dogs are raised here, all of them are vicious and murderous without blinking an eye.

Perhaps it has a bad reputation, so few people come to Dongchang. They don't know that there is not blood all over the ground, and mountains of severed limbs, but a somewhat indescribable solemnity and loneliness.

Jiang Jintang entered the meeting hall, Shanyue hung the cloak aside, and served hot tea. He was a stranger, obviously apprehensive about coming to serve Nine Thousand Years Old, and hurriedly wanted to leave after serving the tea, but The person said in a deep voice: "Nine thousand years old don't drink silver needles, don't you know?"

The servant trembled and knelt down on the ground: "Small man... the villain just came to serve... I don't know..."

The person who came was dressed in a strong suit, with a tall and straight figure, handsome facial features, and a mean look between his eyebrows and eyes, which made people feel displeased at first sight.

"Okay, see Qing, let him go down." Jiang Jintang rubbed his browbones wearily, and said, "I have a headache from the noise."

Seeing that his expression was not good, She Yi stared at the servant and said, "Get lost."

The servants ran out quickly.

Jiang Jintang opened his eyes, smiled slowly, and said, "For so many years, when I was young, my ambition of sealing off borders and serving the country has not been realized, but I have lived like a snake and scorpion."

"These people are short-sighted." She Yi said coldly.

Jiang Jintang shook his head and said, "I'm here to ask you about Yao Shou's case."

She Yi is the second in command of the East Factory, Jiang Jintang's confidant, known as the nine-thousand-year-old "running dog", loyal to him, and he is responsible for many shady things.

When Yao Shou's case was brought up, She Yi's already mean face became even more mean: "The little emperor ruined your game of chess, but you have a good nature, and you just married a wife to anger him."

"In the final analysis, the Xuan family's country is not mine, so why should I worry so much." Jiang Jintang said lightly, "I didn't marry Yao Chunhui to offend anyone, but simply to repay a favor."

She Yi was taken aback.

Nowadays, everyone in the court thinks that Nine Thousand Years is Yao Shou's protection umbrella for selling officials and nobles. The young emperor will investigate and deal with it, which makes Nine Thousand Years very unhappy, so he married Yao Shou's daughter to disgust the little emperor. Naturally, She Yi knew Yao Shou He had nothing to do with Jiang Jintang, so he scoffed at the rumors, but he didn't know that Yao Shou really had something to do with Jiang Jintang.

"It happened when I was a teenager." Jiang Jintang stroked the exquisite hollow carvings on the stove, and said, "Yao Shou has treated me with kindness, and now he has saved Yao Chunhui's life, which is a debt of gratitude."

She Yi's face changed: "...It was you who were killed by the late Emperor..."

When he said this, he suddenly stopped talking, and changed his words: "Yao Shou was sentenced to seven days and then beheaded. The gangsters behind him only found out a few young people, which is of no use."

This was in Jiang Jintang's expectation, since Xuan Lan started to investigate Yao Shou, it was doomed that no big fish could be caught.

"Choose a neat executioner." Jiang Jintang said quietly, "Give Yao Shou a good time."

She Yi nodded, and said, "There is one more thing recently."

Jiang Jintang raised his eyes: "What?"

She Yi said: "The little emperor is eighteen this year, and when it is time to choose a concubine, the cabinet has already drawn up a few candidates for the empress, and they are discussing how to choose them in the court in a few days."

Jiang Jintang was silent for a while, then smiled: "Yeah...Xuan Lan is gone, it's time to start a family, let them decide."

He coughed twice, his face paler than paper, She Yi frowned: "Didn't you take your medicine properly recently?"

"It doesn't matter whether you eat or not." Jiang Jintang slowly wiped the blood from the corners of his lips with a handkerchief, and said, "The disease is terminally ill, Hua Tuo is still alive and difficult to heal, so why force myself to take those bitter medicines every day..."

Before he finished his high-sounding words, She Yi said: "Didn't I send someone to deliver candied fruit last time, don't you like it?"

Jiang Jintang was silent for a while, then said, "...too sour."

"Tch." She Yi crossed her arms and said, "Nine thousand years old who can stop children from crying at night is afraid of taking bitter medicine. If word of this gets out, I'm afraid the world will laugh out loud."

Jiang Jintang glanced at him, and said in a gentle voice: "So Jianqing, this matter must be kept secret. If the news gets out, I will have to settle accounts with you."

She Yi: "..."

She Yi snorted coldly, but still said: "A while ago when Qin Xu returned to Beijing, it is said that he brought back a few masters who are good at making desserts and candied fruit from Shuzhou. I will borrow some of them to serve you as envoys?"

"Qin Xu is probably the one he hired for his sister, so I won't take love away." Jiang Jintang sighed, "In case that little girl hangs herself at my door."

Speaking of General Qin's younger sister, Qin Zhaoyu, even She Yi has a headache. This girl is weak and can't carry her shoulders or hands, but she has inherited her mother's fierce temper. Half a year ago, Qin Xu played her favorite play The team invited them to Jiang Jintang's mansion to perform two plays, and this girl dared to hang herself at the gate of Qiansui's mansion with her white silk.

It’s okay to hang himself, anyway, Jiang Jintang is not someone who doesn’t want to see corpses, the most terrible thing is that when Qin Chaoyu hanged himself, he just happened to catch up with Jiang Jintang’s downfall. To curry favor with the beauties, abruptly turned the deserted Chitose Mansion into a theater.

It is said that after returning to the mansion, Qin Zhaoyu knelt in front of her brother and insisted on marrying Jiang Jintang. Annoyed, Qin Xu locked her in the general's mansion to cultivate her morals, and forbade her to see Jiang Jintang again. A few words of sarcasm, those who didn't know thought he had taken a fancy to Qin Zhaoyu.
