Force a good concubine

Winter hunting is a grand event, which not only shows off the military equipment, but also wins people's hearts.The emperor gave banquets and rewards for several days in a row, and everyone in the camp was beaming with joy, but King Qing was as usual on the outside, and was restless on the inside.

Speaking of which, he was not convinced by the emperor.Back then, the late emperor selected many descendants of the Yuan clan to be raised in the palace before he became the heir apparent. King Qing was among them. He was no worse than the emperor in terms of family background, he was not inferior to others in his thesis and martial arts, and he was well known for his filial piety and respect. But in the end, why is it that the emperor, a yellow-haired girl who doesn't understand everything, sits in that seat?

The position of the Son of Heaven has always been occupied by the virtuous.Although King Qing felt that he was righteous, but the time was not right, the world was peaceful, the swordsmen could not be raised, and the emperor was young and not in charge, so he couldn't find anything that was morally and morally unethical to provoke him. In the ancestral book, there were faint signs of fighting against the cabinet, but before King Qing could use his means, the emperor automatically stopped the flag and the drums, and the cabinet ministers accepted as soon as they saw it, and there was no more to say.The civil servants didn't buy it, and the clans didn't succeed. King Qing managed to catch the emperor with some difficulty, and encouraged King Duan to come forward. There is no air of being in charge of the imperial order.

The only one who still has some hope is the general.King Qing claimed to know soldiers, and he also recruited many heroes, and he was in charge of all the errands such as guards of honor, guards and guards. He only thought that he could easily control the emperor in his hands. The errands are divided into three, the guard of honor is handled by Prince Gong's son, the guards are handled by the Northern King, and the guards are handled by the King Yu. Although the name is still in charge of King Qing, there is no chance to act arbitrarily. Those aides who usually speak loudly are helpless to say nothing, and even some dead soldiers who usually behave in a heroic manner have quietly gradually alienated King Qing, making him even more terrified and restless.

Could it be that the emperor has already noticed and wants to deal with it?When the banquet was full of wine, he didn't pay much attention to the etiquette of the emperor and his ministers. He held his cup and secretly looked at the emperor carefully. Glancing across the food table under the platform, occasionally meeting King Qing's eyes, the eyes were as quiet and peaceful as a small pool of clear water, without any strangeness.

King Qing breathed a sigh of relief.The emperor was young, with a weak temperament, and he was at the mercy of his important ministers. If he really had any plans, he would never be so calm.He relaxed and continued to ponder and plan, but the topic of the banquet suddenly turned to himself: "I don't know what embarrassment is there for King Qing?"

"My lord, I have nothing to worry about." King Qing was startled, and raised his head, only to see that the corners of the emperor's lips were more curved. , That's it. When I return to the palace, I will stop by to disturb King Qing for a meal of water and wine."

It took a lot of time to ask someone to deliver a message in front of the emperor, and the emperor was invited to visit, but all the arrangements have paid off on this day. King Qing was surprised and ecstatic, and left the table without thinking: "Your Majesty Long En, my minister There is no reward in death.”

"Although there are regulations on the ceremonial notes, you don't have to spend too much. When you reduce it, you can reduce it." The emperor said a few words, all of which were trivial matters. King Qing patiently listened to them one by one, and when he was about to withdraw from the banquet, he went back to the table again. Thank you for your kindness before leaving the account.

He was full of ambitions, but he didn't know that Xu Zhihuan and Lin Yuan looked at his back and shook their heads inwardly - the emperor's decision was still correct, such a mediocre person, if he let him do what he did, what kind of storms and big waves could he catch? fish?It's just that more people are involved in vain.

Although there is a chance of winning, one cannot be too careful.Lin Yuan checked King Qing's arrangements again, and reported to the emperor when he saw that there was nothing missing. The emperor pointed at the cases and pondered for a while, then suddenly said: "According to this, Xu Zhixuan also met King Qing, so he went with him. Duan Wang got on the line, but there is no one else to instigate him?"

"Yes." Lin Yuan said, "I have checked, and there is no one in the palace who has anything to do with him. Zhao Rong and Xuan Yunzi, the stewards of the scripture factory, have confessed that the private change of the roster was ordered by King Sui. Yuan posted the post outside the mansion, and was unable to move in the mansion, so he had to find a way to let her enter the palace to meet His Majesty, so as to wash away her grievances, but it had no other meaning. I sent a few related people to the imperial tea room, There was no movement at all. It’s just that Wangchen Sui hasn’t seen it in person, so can you—”

"Sister is heavy, so don't disturb me." The emperor said, "I can trust her too. She gets along with me day and night, and is familiar with my temperament and preferences. If she really wants to trip me up, she will never be so anticlimactic, and she is not like this." It's easy to see through." She said with a slight smile, "I have always wondered, if the kings colluded to set me a trap, how could they send A Yuan to the palace, and wait for me to prove that women are misleading the country. Just go out like this and slap yourself? I met A Yuan in June, when King Bei and King Gong were both on the pilgrimage, how could they get involved together? Thinking about it now, it’s a mistake a bit more."

"I think so too." Lin Yuan smiled slightly and heaved a sigh of relief.Seeing that the emperor was going to be in charge, it was the time to win people's hearts, and it was not suitable for prisons.Compared with King Qing who was about to fall into the trap by the emperor, the other person in this case was more difficult to deal with. She thought for a while before she said, "When Dongshou returns to the palace, we will announce the pro-government ceremony and the blessings." Ke's edict informs the world. I am reckless, dare to ask Your Majesty, when will it be appropriate for Gu Nushi to resume her identity and leave the palace?"

The smile on the emperor's face disappeared, and he pursed his lips and looked at Lin Yuan: "I have my own opinion, but it's not the time yet, so I don't need to mention it anymore. I heard that Fu Zhao will return to Beijing soon, and the errands have been finished? "

The case of the Zheng family has already been settled, and it is obviously not the focus of the emperor's attention. Lin Yuan only mentioned it briefly, and then said: "The Gu family is all right now, and the year is approaching, isn't it—"

"Let him wait a few more days, A Yuan has a letter from his family that he wants to send over." The emperor said, "There is one more thing, I want him to inquire with Yisi Luan. Five or six years ago, who had a close relationship with A Yuan?" Secret, and alienated later? Find out one by one and report."

"I obey the order." Lin Yuan fell on the ground and smiled wryly: the emperor's tone was indifferent, as if it didn't matter, but those words showed her thoughts clearly: Is there anyone whose family letter is so important that the generals of the Beijing camp As a messenger, what kind of old friends and grievances should Labor Luan Yishi come to inquire about?The emperor's love for Gu Yuan is obvious, and if the cabinet ministers know about it, some persuasion will be indispensable.She kowtowed and stood up, just as she was about to leave the tent, but the emperor suddenly stopped her: "Prince Duan wrote a letter to resign, and I have already agreed. King Yu has been quite diligent recently, and it should be fine to be promoted to Zongling. Deputy Zongling I plan to choose one of the sons of Prince Bei and Prince Gong. You should check carefully and report to me at any time. Also, I remember that there is a custom of palace servants being transferred to the Luanyi Division as errands. You should check first. Write a clip later, attach it to the folder and hand it up, I will take a look first."

It was a matter of time before the King Duan dismissed the Zongling order, but the emperor mentioned the precedent of the palace servants being transferred to the Luan Yisi as an errand. Could it be that Gu Yuan would enter an official sooner or later and wanted to help him, or did he think that the Luan Yisi did not want to do things? Come over with a confidant?The emperor's intentions are really hard to understand. For a moment, Lin Yuan began to regret why he didn't drag Zheng Luan out of Beijing.No matter how long she's been in the palace, she still can't change her straightforward temper of a general. The emperor's calm layout always makes her feel like a fog.She stood up in a little daze, and the emperor took a closer look, and instead smiled slightly: "I have no other intentions, it's just that A Yuan mentioned to me last time that it is a common practice in the palace that everyone in the manufacturing office is regarded as a palace worker. , not quite appropriate. I also think this is the case. Nowadays, my mother is thrifty, and there are not many jobs in the manufacturing office. They send some clever ones to learn, as long as they are not prohibited tricks, if they can learn others to earn money from Westerners, I will reward them."

"Yes."

"Ask the Secretary of Shibo to find a way to recruit Western mechanical craftsmen. I heard that Westerners listen to foreign monks and tell those foreign monks to send 10 craftsmen. I will allow them to build a Western church in Zhenning Prefecture."

"Church?" Lin Yuan thought for a while, "Isn't that giving them too much face? If these foreign monks confuse people's hearts—"

"It's okay." The emperor smiled, and seemed to be in a good mood, "The magistrate of Zhenning prefecture said that he wanted to use the rent rented by Westerners from Zhenming Island to renovate the school palace. I have agreed. The fishermen of Zhenning prefecture want I have agreed to build the Mazu Temple. I heard that now the market is prosperous and merchants gather there, and some people come out to alms for alms and rebuild the abandoned temples. As long as there is no crime, I will go with them. Although monks from far Can chant scriptures, but so many gods and Buddhas gather in one place, it doesn’t mean that only foreign monks are effective, right?”

Lin Yuan was dumbfounded, she didn't have time to answer, the emperor couldn't wait to add another sentence: "This idea was discussed by A Yuan and I, what do you think?"

Lin Yuan only met Gu Yuan twice, once when the emperor disobeyed the queen mother, she and Zheng Luan went to persuade him, and once when Gu Yuan confronted King Duan, she attended the audition, and both times she had a good impression of Gu Yuan, regardless of Gu Yuan Regardless of his appearance, no matter how he behaves or speaks, he is very measured. It can be seen that he is a cautious and careful person. A person who understands machine change.

But such an outrageous and tricky idea was clearly conceived by her and the emperor together.Lin Yuan looked at the triumphant emperor in front of him, and thought of the usual court ministers' judgments on the emperor's calm, reticent, happy and angry, and could not help but add a secret slander behind the words of praise: Zheng Luan once said in private The emperor and Gu Yuan are very suitable. Now it seems that the two people are not the same on the outside and the outside, and they are really like a family.
