Taiping Inn

During the Imperial Capital Change on the third day of the twelfth lunar month, the inns were simultaneously acting, but now cleaning up the mess has become the ones that each department will do its own thing. Even though Ning Yi was the manager, he did not care about the situation of the servants, so he was also not clear about it. The ideas and plans of Shangguan Wan and others.

After hearing Shangguan Wan's words, Ning Yi couldn't help but ask, "What are you going to do?"

Shangguan Wan closed her voice and made sure that only Ning Yi could hear it, saying, "Did you see that new cabinet member?"

"Liu Fengpan." Ning Yi glanced quietly, and the sound was also a line.

Shangguan Wan said, "Senior Brother, let us find out the person who killed Zhang Baigui back then."

"Do you suspect it's him?" Ning Yi asked.

"It's not suspicion." Shangguan Wan smiled slightly, "It's certain."

Ning Yi nodded gently.

On the other hand, Liu Fengpan's mind was not on the stage, but watched the eyes and listened to all directions.

He always had an indescribable thought about Murong Hua. When the four great masters were famous in the imperial capital, Liu Fengpan had not yet worn a red robe, but was just a poor Hanlin. He had the honor to see Murong Hua perform on stage, but unfortunately he was at that time But Jing accompanied the last seat and had no chance to speak. He could only watch Murong and everyone chatting and laughing with several princes and princes from afar. As for the other Su Lianrong and Qian Jin'er, the former was regarded as a treasure by the King of Jin and could not be interfered with by others, while the latter was from a large family and came to the imperial capital to take the wife's route and did not contact the man at all. He couldn't even see him.

To this day, everything is different. The four great masters have dispersed, Yuan Feixue and Su Lianrong are missing, Qian Jin'er returns to the Qian family, and even Murong Hua is married to another woman. He is no longer the poor Hanlin who is respected by the last one, but is wearing a red robe and is in the Tai Pavilion. Those former kings, princes and ministers who committed suicide, those who were sentenced to death, those who were imprisoned, and those who were resigned to death, those who were imprisoned, those who were resigned to death, those who were resigned to death, those who were resigned to death, those who were resigned to death, those who were tomorrow's yellow flowers It's right.

However, there was nothing changed. Murong Hua still ignored him and just talked to Jin Chansou, Lu Beiqu, Qi Foyan and others, but still didn't take him seriously. Perhaps in Murong Hua's view, the so-called important officials of the imperial party are still not as good as those of the Confucian sect, and they are like disciples of the same sect. Some are disciples of the inner sect, while others are just disciples of the outer sect.

There is no doubt that the people in the imperial party are just outer disciples of the Confucian sect, and they are still a world of difference compared to the hermits, the great priests, and the mountain masters.

Thinking of this, Liu Fengpan's eyes were dim.

Murong, Mrs. Murong, are you just marrying a secondary assistant who is in name only, or is the side room straightening? What is it?

Now the five people in the cabinet, the chief assistant Zhao Lianggeng, are actually like Yang Lu, who are accepted by the Confucian sect because of their usefulness. Zhou Chunfang and Huo Sishi are among the imperial party. Only Mei Shenglin has the shallowest foundation, but they just stand in time. , and please the emperor again. Today, Mei Shenglin is the host, and she has always taken the opportunity to make friends.

In other words, three of the five people in the cabinet are newly entered, and Zhao Lianggeng has deep roots. If he chooses to leave the cabinet, he can only be Mei Shenglin. Besides, the second assistant has always been replaced by the first assistant. Unless the first assistant and the second assistant are dismissed from office, few people can become the first assistant in one step. Therefore, if Liu Fengpan wants to become the prime minister, he must first become the second cabinet. The auxiliary position is that if the person above doesn’t come down, how can the person below go up?

When he becomes the second assistant to the cabinet, he will see how this Mrs. Murong handles herself. Furthermore, if he becomes the chief minister of the cabinet and Mei Shenglin accidentally becomes a prisoner under the ranks and his family is sold, how will this Mrs. Murong deal with it? Are you kneeling in front of yourself and begging hard or even recommending yourself to the pillow table? Or did you also learn from the woman who was hit by her head and died in front of the gate of the Ministry of Justice?

At this moment, Jin Chansou suddenly said, "I heard that Murong and Mr. Qingping also have friendship?"

"The friendship cannot be discussed." Murong Hua smiled slightly, "It's just a few encounters. Mr. Qingping's outstanding style is admirable."

Mei Shenglin still smiled and didn't care about his wife's praise of another man in public. She was extremely generous and really the prime minister's stubbornness.

Jin Chansou laughed: "It's a pity that Mr. Qingping did not attend the banquet today."

Lu Beiqu thought of his daughter and thought something.

Only Liu Fengpan's heart was thrilled.

If the troubles left behind in the past cannot be solved, the secondary cabinet and the primary cabinet are all vague and moonlight. Could it be that he will be an ordinary cabinet member for the rest of his life? You should know that only the chief minister has the right to vote. If you cannot be the chief minister, the difference between the cabinet clerk and the ordinary minister is not that big and irreparable.

Thinking of this, Liu Fengpan subconsciously turned his gaze to Ning Yi, who represented Li Xuandu, and Shangguan Wan, who was sitting next to Ning Yi.

Liu Fengpan knew Ning Yi. If there were no changes from that year, Ning Yi would have been named as a Jinshi, and became an official. He was first in the Hanlin Academy, then served as the chief minister of the department, and then served several positions, and was promoted to the chief officer of the local three departments, and was awarded the examination and was appointed as the minister of the department. The second release of the minister as the minister was the real chief official, either the governor of one state or the governor of two states. If you have worked in the local area for a few years, if you have made outstanding achievements and achieved remarkable political achievements, you will be able to return to the imperial capital with the respect of the governor and become a minister. Because you are a Jinshi Hanlin, it is reasonable to go to the cabinet and become the prime minister. Ning Yi's face is "ge minister".

But an accident caused Ning Yi's life trajectory to undergo tremendous changes. Fame and fortune are gone, and the career is gone. Not only is it difficult to return to a family, but even the disciples of Confucianism are not forgotten. After ten years of ups and downs, he became a Taoist sect. Perhaps because of the mutual dependence of good and bad fortune, Ning Yi's position in the Taoist sect has continued to rise. From the great guest of the Pin Nu Sect to the great guest of Taiping Sect, Li Xuan is expected to ascend to the position of the great master of the Taoist sect, Ning Yi is Li Xuandu's reliance on his status is no less than that of the sect's lord, and he is equal to the mountain master and the high priest.

As for Shangguan Wan, Liu Fengpan was not very familiar with him. He had just vaguely heard of this person. He was originally a disciple of the Earth Master. After the Earth Master ascended, Li Xuandu inherited the Taoist tradition of the Earth Master, and Shangguan Wan also followed him to Li Xuandu. Playing, but not showing up often. This woman and Ning Yi are like yin and yang. Ning Yi stands in the open, and she is in the dark, for some reason why she appears publicly this time.

At this moment, Shangguan Wan noticed Liu Fengpan's gaze and turned to look.

As soon as Liu Fengpan touched Shangguan Wan's sight, he felt frightened and felt cold behind him, so he quickly looked away.

To be fair, Shangguan Wan's appearance is not bad, but the yin and yang practiced are unbalanced and the yin energy is too heavy. She is a woman who is yin, which makes her whole body very gloomy. In addition, her skin is snow-white, so it is indeed not like The living people in the world are like the Yin God of the Netherworld.

Shangguan Wan withdrew her gaze and looked at the stage.

At this time, the play was coming to an end, and suddenly another person walked in from outside the door.

Today, there are many guests in Wutong Tower, and naturally the guards are tightly guarded. It is a huge strange thing that people can come in unimpededly.

Many people have noticed the visitor, not a strange face. Most of the people here know each other, but they just don’t understand what this uninvited intention is.

Liu Fengpan also noticed the person coming, his face changed slightly, and his right hand, holding the wine glass, trembling, and almost dropped the wine glass in his hand to the ground. But even so, he still spilled out some wine, wet his fingers.

Mei Shenglin, the local owner, signaled that the troupe should retreat for the time being. Just as he was about to speak, his wife Murong Hua, who had already spoken in advance, said, "I wonder what is the price for Mr. Wutong Tower?"

The person coming was Lu Yanbing. What did she do? Murong Hua of course asked questions clearly. It was like singing and reconciling. Only when there was a conversation between them could he continue.

Lu Yanbing looked around and said, "Today, the house is full of distinguished guests, and they are famous scholars and ministers. The little girl came here today because she had a grievance to be raised."

Zuodu Censor Huo Sishi said, "Mr. Fifth wants to seek justice. You can write a paper and hand it over to the Censorate. This is not a yamen, nor a place to seek justice."

Lu Yanbing shook his head and said, "My injustice cannot be extended by the Censorate."

Huo Sishi's face darkened and he asked, "What kind of injustice is it?"

From the moment Lu Yanbing appeared, Liu Fengpan felt that his heart was slowly sinking. At this time, when Lu Yanbing mentioned the word "injustice", he was even more nervous.

Lu Yanbing answered the question and asked: "People here may have heard of it, and maybe some have not heard of it. Some people went to the Censorate to seek justice a few days ago, but the Censorate pushed the blame to the Ministry of Justice, and finally the woman was left alone. He was killed in front of the gate of the Ministry of Justice. Everyone said, can such a prisoner still be believed?”

Huo Sishi looked ugly, and he wanted to scold him loudly, but was afraid of Lu Yanbing's identity. If he had someone to go out, he would have someone to go out long ago, so how could he say these nonsense?

At this moment, Huang Shiyuan spoke: "Bingyan, you said the Censorate cannot uphold your grievances. Who are you going to ask for justice for you? Is it Your Majesty the Emperor? Or Mr. Qingping?"

Li Daoxu and Huang Shiyuan have been in friendship for many years. Lu Yanbing was not so arrogant when dealing with Huang Shiyuan. He bowed slightly and said, "The high priest asked, "I came today to ask all the officials to distinguish right from wrong and make decisions for the people."

"What a good person is the ruler for the people." Qi Foyan said with a joking voice, "Your hat is too big, I'm afraid we can't afford it."

"Add to take responsibility." Lu Yanbing said with a smile, "Su Sheng said: 'The people are more important than the king, and the country is second to the country.' As the saying goes, 'It is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes than to be an official.' This is to be a master of the people.' The matter is unavoidable."

Huang Shiyuan and Qi Foyan looked at each other, knowing that this was being held back, and no one could refute the words of the Sage in person. No matter what the officials were thinking, the people must be put first in their mouths.

Huang Shiyuan said, "Okay, what kind of injustice do you have? Come on."

"Thank you for the wine of the priest." Lu Yanbing said to the outsider again, "Come in. If you have any injustice, tell the old gentlemen truthfully."

After the words came, Hu Fang and Hu Yuan and his sister walked in with Song Zhu and Liu Yushuang.
