Xian Sun of the Ning Mansion of the Red Chamber

Chapter 301
After two days in a row, the palace did not give a result on the Liaodong matter, which made some people who were waiting to watch the show a little anxious. On the contrary, in the eyes of Shi Ding and others, this might not be bad news.

It shows that the emperor is hesitating, or that the emperor's feelings for the royal family and nobles cannot be shaken by a Liaodong.

The people who seemed to have seen the dawn, rushed to contact each other, preparing to defend themselves in order to protect the interests of the founding of the country in the army and Liaodong.

Everyone gathered in Xining Palace again.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty's delay in making a decision shows that he does not want to make a big deal out of this matter. There are more than [-] elite frontier soldiers in Liaodong Town. Once they get involved in a big way, not to mention the danger of gaining and losing the newly attached land of Liaodong, I am afraid that Jianzhou Hu will not be able to keep his own place. Once Liaodong becomes chaotic, the capital will be in danger."

"All the ministers in the court are not fools. Without us, can we support Jingping on the nine sides with the wine bags and rice bags of Xuanlong's lineage? Hou Ye, we can't wait any longer. Once the opening of Liaodong is opened, It's like a gap has been opened in the dam, and there is no place for us anymore."

Of course Shi Ding could see Lan Tianyu's hesitation. He had been an official for decades, and he was always a slippery old fox, a master who didn't see a rabbit or a hawk.But right now, he has no other choice but to rely on the noble power to protect himself.

After finishing speaking, seeing Lan Tianyu still remained silent, Shi Ding had no choice but to cast his gaze on Chen Wenrui.

I usually spend a lot of money on this guy, and I am afraid that it will not be less than 20 taels. This time is naturally his turn to contribute.

Chen Wenrui received the gaze, and said at the right time: "Master Hou, let's not talk about whether there is any problem in Liaodong, but what they did this time is too much. He is always thinking about how to get rid of the bottom line, and the other ministers in the cabinet are all on the sidelines.

Brother Wenzhen has a saying that I agree with, without us all these years, where would there be peace in the Nine Sides?Even if you don't mention the credit, there is hard work.Lord Hou, this is not a matter of Brother Wenzhen or Liaodong, but a matter of our honorable life and death. It doesn’t matter whether we are right or wrong. I can rely on others to linger on my last breath.

What's more, even if you admit it, the assassination of Nanyuan is a big case, will you be implicated?How much will be involved?Everyone is at risk. "

Chen Wenrui is a good lobbyist, never mentioning Shi Ding's fault, but shifting the conflict to the struggle between nobles and civil officials. The conflict between civil and military lines has existed since ancient times, and Dagan is no exception.

At the same time, he also understood that Lan Tianyu had no complaints in her heart since she was holding a heavy army in her hand and now she is idle in Beijing.

"Wang Ziteng, did you reply?" Lan Tianyu asked suddenly.

Shi Ding hurriedly replied: "The letter arrived last night, and only said three words, 'Got it'."

After a moment of silence, Lan Tianyu said: "The other side is the next best thing, but there must be an explanation for the assassination case."

Shi Ding had already made preparations, and hurriedly said: "Jianzhou's garrison ancestor Shangkun was dissatisfied with the court, and secretly colluded with the Sanyang Sect rebel bandits, as evidenced by the letters found in his home."

"Zu Shangkun? I heard that the evidence in Lin Ruhai's hands came from him. What about others?" Lan Tianyu asked.

"The governor of Liaodong came to arrest people, Zu Shangkun inquired and fled overnight, fell off his horse and died."

After Lan Tianyu heard it, she felt a little speechless, and in her heart she blamed Shi Ding for being too careless in his work, and if he pushed the matter to a dead person, would he really be able to sit back and relax?
But right now, it can only be him.

After all, dead people can't speak, and they can confuse the public, so use Zu Shangkun himself to deal with the evidence in Lin Ruhai's hands.

"Several other companies."

"We are all headed by Lanhou, and we will advance together and retreat together." Chen Wenrui said.

"That's how it is." Lan Tianyu finally agreed. In fact, it doesn't matter whether they are right or wrong. Moreover, they just took this opportunity to test the emperor's attitude towards Xungui.

Shi Ding, who left Xining Palace, called his confidant again, and told him: "Go and watch Lin's Mansion, if any suspicious person appears, report it immediately."

That afternoon, led by Xining Hou Lantianyu, Chen Wenrui, Hou Xiaokang and other nobles went to the siege to protect Liaodong. The government discovered his disobedience in time, and Zu Shangkun fell off his horse and died while chasing and fleeing.

Keeping the generals in Liaodong is tantamount to keeping Shi Ding and Xungui's interests in Liaodong.

At the same time, Shi Ding also issued an apology, admitting that when he was in charge of Liaodong, the government was not strict, and most of the officers and soldiers were indulgent and arrogant. Friends, everything is guilty, and Shi Ding is the only one to blame.

The whole article seems to be an apology, but it is actually an excuse.

Immediately, the palace issued a decree, saying: "Aiqing has made meritorious service in the country, and I know it."

Anyone can see that even now, the emperor has benevolence and righteousness in his heart, trying his best to appease the mind, and things are turning around soon.

But at this moment, Shangkun, the ancestor of Jianzhou defense who should have died, suddenly appeared outside Dali Temple and sued Shi Ding, the former governor of Liaodong, for making friends with foreign feudal vassals, colluding with Hu people, and smuggling under the pretext of the border market. Salt and iron armaments and foreign races have made huge profits of tens of millions, and afterward, fearing that the matter will be revealed, they send people to intercept and kill the officials ordered by the court.

Qing Gulinzang of Dali Temple was a slippery person, and after receiving the pleadings, he handed over the trouble to the cabinet.

On-duty bachelor, the second assistant Fu Donglai ordered Zu Shangkun to wait outside the palace gate, and at the same time personally took Zu Shangkun's blood book to attack the face saint.

Upon hearing the letter, Shi Ding became bedridden in fear.

Immediately afterwards, Bo Niu Jizong, the first-class uncle of the Zhenguo government, Liu Fang, the first-class son of the Liguo government, and Ma Shangde, the government of the state, jointly named Shangshu and impeached Zhongjinghou Shi Ding to commit himself with meritorious service.The memorial of Shi Nai, the Marquis of Bowling, who was serving far away, also came to the capital, saying, "Shi Ding is arrogant and arrogant, and he violated the way of a courtier, and the envoys dare not hide from each other."

It is still Xining Palace.

Lan Tianyu stared angrily at Chen Wenrui and asked, "Didn't you say that Zu Shangkun is dead? Who is it that suddenly appeared? When you swore to put all the blame on him, how did you get along with me?" said?"

Chen Wenrui is also in distress at this moment, he has already boarded Shi Ding's thief ship, and had to fight for it, of course, if there is no Zu Shangkun who suddenly appeared, maybe they would not have lost.

"Shi Ding told me about this. On that day, his subordinates saw Zu Shangkun fall from a horse and fell off the cliff. The body was also found at the bottom of the cliff, but it was completely different. It is not sure whether it is Zu Shangkun's."

"Then he doesn't know how to keep an eye on Lin Ruhai? Without Lin Ruhai's help, how did Zu Shangkun get into the capital?" Lan Tianyu now really realized what a pig teammate is, but it was too late.

I only heard Chen Wenrui say: "His people are still watching outside the Lin Mansion, not only the Lin Mansion, but Jia Ying's place is also watching, but Zu Shangkun didn't come out of these two places at all."

"where is that?"

"Someone said that outside the Yamen of Dali Temple, they saw a carriage from Fu's residence leaving."

"It was a trap from the beginning?" Lan Tianyu came back to his senses, Chen Wenrui was full of bitterness.

Perhaps the goal of the emperor, Fu Donglai and Ye Baichuan was not Liaodong, but the nobles themselves.Shi Ding is just a beginning.

"What should we do now?" Chen Wenrui had no idea at the moment.

Lan Tianyu tried her best to calm down, and paced back and forth: "Zu Shangkun's complaint did not mention assassination, which is good news for comforting people."

"Let's go to the library."

It's only been a day since the last trip.This time, of course, it is not to explain clearly for Shi Ding, but to clear up the relationship.

But, is there still time?

As soon as Bao Linghou issued a memorial to impeach his own brother, the turmoil remained unchanged. The Yanguan and Qingliu who smelled corruption like vultures and crows were the first to react, but they impeached more than just Shi Ding, and Chen Wenrui, Marquis of Xining.

Several mansions were in a state of panic, and even began to secretly transfer property, arranging concubines and even illegitimate children who were usually not valued to leave Beijing overnight.Zhen Guogong's Mansion, Baolinghou's Mansion, and several other families escaped catastrophe because they took the right stand.

The royal family's ruthlessness has always been the most common.

"I have the heart to tolerate others, but God doesn't forgive you."

Shi Ding was imprisoned.

Just when the nobles were worried about being implicated, they drove into the capital on a fast horse, and the soldiers on the horses, with nourishing flags such as "post" and "eight hundred miles", went straight to the Ministry of War.

Then Yan Huasong hurried into the palace, and together with several cabinet scholars, went to the Huagai Palace to meet the emperor.

"King Youtuqi was killed in the court of the Huns, and his son King Youguli succeeded to the throne. He led his troops to rebel and the Western Regions were in chaos. Things were robbed, Wang Ziteng had no choice but to send troops to chase them down."

Jiade sat on the throne, and Fu Donglai read the contents of the military newspaper.

"Your Majesty, Wang Ziteng mentioned in the report that King Youtuqi was killed by the royal court of Batu Wendusu, the Great Khan of the Huns. The royal court of the Huns was in chaos at this time, and it was a good time to send troops. Please order, send troops immediately, take the first place in the Western Regions, and then send troops to Mobei, don’t give the Huns a chance to quell the civil strife.”

"What do you love ladies think?" Jiade asked after listening to the contents of the report.

Fu Donglai and Ye Baichuan looked at each other, and they both saw the confusion in each other's eyes, but at this moment.

In fact, Fu Donglai did not approve of the Northern Expedition. The Xiongnu Royal Court was forcibly kneaded by Batu Wendusu from the grassland tribes. There were many conflicts among the tribes.The reason why he has been able to compete with Dagan for so many years is all because of Batu Wendusu.

As long as Batu Wendusu dies and the conflict between the left and right kings intensifies, it will be difficult for the tribes of the Huns to unite. At that time, there is no need to send troops, just support a few naturalized Hus, and you can sit back and watch the fall of the Huns royal court .

The Huns on the grasslands have long been history, and no one knows how many races have been born. Xianbei, Turks, Mongols, Tatars, and Donghu people. In the words of the Han people, the old Khan Batu Wendusu is not Knowing the number of days, they shouted the slogan of repeating the glory of the Huns. How much sense of belonging and identity do the grassland tribes have for the word "Xiongnu"?
After all, Batu Wendusu is just a lucky guy who picked up a bargain.

He thought this way, but the emperor and Ye Baichuan might not agree with his idea. One wanted to be a wise king, and the other wanted to be a capable minister. Both wanted to leave a mark in history, and they couldn't escape the word "name".

Ye Baichuan naturally supported sending troops, but just before, he was still making a fuss about the Liaodong frontier army, but now he wants to let these people go all out, no matter how good their energy is, they still have to curse Selling batches is too good at picking time.

Fu and Ye didn't speak, Yan Huasong could only watch the big guy's performance closely, he could only be a younger brother here.

Instead, the chief assistant Yang Tingjing spoke up.

"Your Majesty, the prison in Liaodong is just an internal disease, and the Huns in the north are the confidants who endanger my safety. The matter in Liaodong can be postponed, but the opportunity that the north has finally waited for is only one."

"Old fox." Ye Baichuan couldn't help cursing in his heart.

Although Yang Jing has never spoken for Xungui, everyone knows that after Li Endi left the court, all the legacy he left was inherited by Yang Jing, and a fool can hear what he said at this time.

However, the other party is seamless and can choose whether it is the position or the overall situation.

Jiade was also disgusted by Wang Ziteng's military report, but he, the king of a country, was the one who stood up for Beizheng, and he had to admit it at this moment.

"Big companion, how long has Jia Yucun been in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice?"

"Return to Your Majesty, in a few days, it will be three months." Dai Quan replied.

"Pass down my oral instructions and ask him if he has had enough time, and then go back to the Ministry of War. Only Shi Ding has guarded Liaodong for more than ten years, and his achievements are indelible. Go to jail and wait for trial."

The news from the palace soon spread to all officials through various channels, and Jia Ying and Lin Ruhai naturally also received it.

"Manpower can't match the fate, who would have thought it would be such a coincidence."

On the contrary, Lin Ruhai took everything very lightly, and said: "That's good, I can always have an explanation from the old lady. It's always bad to die."

Jia Ying didn't say a word, but she didn't quite agree in her heart. Now that they have reached this point, do they still expect to continue to reconcile as before?
However, in the face of this situation, he was helpless.

But, is it really such a coincidence?Even God is helping Shi Ding?Jia Ying always felt that Wang Ziteng's military report was too timely. Of course, he must not be the only one who thinks this way.

The four towns in Shaanxi have an army of 20. Although Wang Ziteng is far away from the capital, his influence on the court is not weak at all.

"Second Master, word has come from the mansion that Second Master is invited back to the mansion, there is a letter from my uncle." Xi'er came in and said.

Jia Ying frowned, guessing the intention of Wang Ziteng's letter, and looked at Lin Ruhai, seeing the other party nodding, he left and went to the mansion.

The happiest thing is Jia Yucun.

After three months of drinking porridge in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he lost a lot of weight, waiting for him and waiting for no one to pay attention to him, what a torment.

"I, Jia Yucun, are back again."

Outside the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Jia Yucun looked at the capital and shouted loudly in his heart.

And Jia De in the Huagai Palace, staring at the military report sent by Wang Ziteng, sat silently for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.
