Chapter 154

No matter how big the incidents in the capital were, in the courtyard where Qin Anan was, there was still no wind, and the dumb maidservants could not speak.

She leaned on the soft couch, flipping through some scriptures specially prepared on the table, but her eyes did not turn upwards at all, she was thinking about her own affairs.Until a strange voice came: "Princess Jing."

Qin Anan raised his eyes, and saw a gray-robed man standing in front of the door. This man was wearing a mask on the left side, only half of his cheek was exposed. His pair of green fox eyes looked a little strange. This man was either Ji Junling or who?
Qin Anan was slightly startled, now that she has been trapped here for a long time, her reactions have become more and more sluggish, and she doesn't even know when there are more people in the room.She didn't stand up, she leaned on the couch motionless.

Ji Junling walked in slowly, with a smile on his face, because only half of his face could see the expression, it looked very strange.He sat down on the wooden chair in front of Qin An'an on his own, and said in a leisurely manner: "Long time no see, the princess is much haggard."

Qin An'an didn't say a word, Ji Junling continued: "I met Prince Jing the other day, and he seemed to have lost a lot. It really is a husband and wife who are of the same heart, and this king admires it very much."

"Uncle Wang probably didn't come here just to tell me these things." Qin Anan said, "I don't know what it is?"

Ji Jun smiled slightly: "Wangfei really still has such a straightforward temperament, but she seems a little anxious. To be honest, the king came here today not to reminisce about the past, but to tell Wangfei something."

Qin Anan's eyes fell on him, and his tone was very calm: "What's the matter?"

Ji Jun paused for a moment, and then said slowly: "The emperor has passed away, the Zhao family has entered the dungeon, Pei Zihua, who is close to him, is under house arrest, and the eldest princess is no longer in the capital, I am afraid it will be difficult to preserve your reliance. .”

Qin An listened quietly, without showing the slightest expression fluctuation because of Ji Junling's words. Seeing this scene, Ji Junling's eyes flickered slightly, and he couldn't help but want to look at Qin An'an's expression more carefully.

King An is about to start, and before that, he has to test Qin An'an for the last time.It was a critical time, King An was not easy to come forward, and the saint had private feelings for Qin An'an. Ji Junling didn't think that Dan could get any benefit from the words of Qin An'an, so he had to come forward in person.He knew that Qin An'an was a treacherous and cunning person, but after saying these words, Qin An'an couldn't see any loopholes, and Ji Junling couldn't help being suspicious.

One is his imperial brother, although he is not close, but he and Ji Lingchen rely on him, one is his natal family, and the other is the future master who is related to the future. Qin Anan should not be the one in front of him no matter what. The gesture of indifference.

"Uncle Wang," Qin An'an said when Ji Jun's thoughts flickered, "I have always wondered about one thing, and I have always wanted to ask for Ah Chen. Back then, the concubine mother and concubine fell in love with you, why did you But he transferred his mother and concubine to others, and now he is still in collusion with Mongolia. Anyway, Anping Dynasty is also your hometown. I really can't figure it out. Uncle Wang, you want to abandon your homeland and help a foreigner instead. Why did you come to destroy your own country?" Qin Anan didn't answer Ji Junling's words, but talked about another matter. Concubine Yan, who had already died, smiled and said, "Why is the concubine concerned about this matter at this time?"

"I don't care about it, but I just want to help my mother and concubine to ask for an explanation, so that if I die, I can't answer her questions when I see my mother and concubine." Qin Anan said with a smile: "Now I am already a prisoner of Uncle Wang. , Uncle Wang’s great cause is about to be completed, so what else can’t be said.”

"Hmph, it's okay to tell you. I have never been from your Anping Dynasty. This prince died when he was born. I was sent in to replace him when I was young. Concubine Yan is very good, but unfortunately for my great cause, I only To be able to sacrifice her, in fact, as long as she is obedient, she will not die at the beginning. This king has promised her that if she confuses the emperor and takes the opportunity to kill him, I will be the one who can succeed. Unfortunately, even if she is disobedient, she should die of."

Qin Anan narrowed his eyes slightly: "That means you have been lying to your mother and concubine from the beginning to the end."

"I don't need to lie, I'm just a woman, so what if I give her a period of love, besides, the saint is the most worthy of my love in the world. The person involved, even the face-changing technique is not a problem for her..." As if realizing that he had talked too much, Ji Junling suddenly stopped talking and stared at Qin Anan.

Qin An'an didn't respond at all: "I really don't feel worthy for my concubine mother. When I see her, I must tell her to keep my eyes open and stay away from people like you."

In my heart, I am more sure of the saint's identity as a traverser, but it turns out that this traverser is not Menggu. It seems that the traverser is relying on his own advantages to look down on the local people. The current situation is that Menggu wants to kill the saint. , Ji Junling is definitely unstoppable.

She didn't say a word, such silence fell in Ji Junling's eyes, but he felt a little relieved, and he was relieved.Thinking that Qin An'an must be deliberately bluffing, now that the overall situation has been settled, there is no room for change. In this case, he can tell King An that it is not too late to act immediately.

Ji Junling's mood suddenly became better. He looked at Qin An'an. This woman has always been a thorn in the saint's heart. As the most trusted staff member of the saint, he has spent his whole life paving the way for the saint. all obstacles.Menggu and King An wanted to keep Qin An'an in exchange for Ji Lingchen's power, but Danzhen only wanted Qin Anan to die in his heart, and he would eventually achieve this goal for Danzhen.He will find a way to sabotage King An's deal. Once Qin An'an is rescued by Ji Lingchen, it will be much more difficult to do so in the future.How to let this woman die quietly, Ji Junling already had an idea in his mind.He stood up again, looked down at Qin An'an and said, "I originally came here today because I thought that the princess was alone and didn't know what was going on outside, so I came here to let you know. But seeing that the princess is calm, she doesn't feel distressed by it. I will be satisfied. The princess should not be too sentimental, when the overall situation is settled, she will definitely give her a place to live."

After saying this, he laughed and left without looking at Qin An'an again, as if he had already gained full confidence in his heart.After Ji Junling left, the calmness on Qin An'an's face slowly dissipated, and there seemed to be a trace of relaxation in his eyes, but also a trace of nervousness.

Ji Junling came here to tell him that it seems that King An Jun has already started to do something, and everything is developing as he thought. Since Ji Junling came here to test it, it can only show that the other party has not noticed the strangeness.Today, she acted out a play following Ji Junling's mind in this way, because she knew that Ji Junling would inform King An of the result of the test.King An took reassurance before starting to do it. She had to hurry King An to do it.

On this day, there were people in the palace who were not at peace. In the mansion of King An Jun, after getting the news, the King An Jun discussed with his staff for a long time with a serious face. It turned out that an old minister suddenly appeared in the court—Tan Hua, who was once famous at the time. Lang Linwei.This Lin Wei is naturally the old housekeeper of Prince Jing's Mansion. Now that the emperor has passed away on the surface, the faction of the emperor's family is being suppressed to death, and the emperor is unwilling to show up at this time, so naturally he needs some help.

"That person must be the helper the Empress Dowager found. Your Highness, if the matter has not yet come to a conclusion, do it earlier and kill them by surprise." An aide suggested.

A strange man came to the palace, he begged to see the Empress Dowager Yide with the emperor's will in his hand, but the person who came to report did not say who the identity of the man was.It's just that holding the emperor's last decree is enough to attract people's attention.

"That's not the case. That person is probably the former emperor. Since he entered the palace, he must have been prepared. It is not beautiful to act rashly. Since His Highness has already taken the lead, there is no need to worry too much. It is better to wait and see. Change, know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles." Another aide held the opposite view.

King An frowned. This kind of debate has lasted for a whole afternoon. His disciples are divided into two factions. One faction thinks that it should follow the plan, no matter who the other party is. Don't fall for the tricks of the enemy.The two parties have their own opinions, both of which are well-founded, and there is no reason for the debate until now.An Junwang felt a little inexplicably irritated in his heart.

He didn't know where his irritability came from. These days, he hid his actions, and in order to prevent being caught, he never even visited the place where Qin Anan was locked up.The news that Ji Junling brought back was that what Qin Anan showed was that so far there was no follow-up move, and their plan was feasible.The spies sent by King Ke'an himself said that Qin An'an lived and ate as usual, and seemed extremely at ease.

King An felt a little inexplicable. Ji Junling and him are allies, and now he needs to ascend the throne to rely on his power. Before that, he would not do anything, let alone Qin An'an. he.There is no need for your own spies to lie. Qin An'an is clearly worried about the future, so why is he still so calm?
Ji Lingchen's hidden guards were indeed searching for Qin An'an's whereabouts, there was no doubt about it.But the queen mother in the palace did not move for a long time. King An didn't think the queen mother was a person who would sit still. She should think of some way to change the current situation, but no, the queen mother was surprisingly quiet, and she was also very quiet during the house arrest period. calm.

However, Dong Ying'er suddenly fell ill recently, and she stayed behind closed doors, even if she didn't see herself. Is there something wrong with it? It's just that the news from the spies he placed in the palace recently is normal. During the critical period, he also You can't do something like forcibly breaking into the emperor's concubine's bedroom.

Even Mu Xirou, who had already been sentenced to death, was calm when he learned that he was about to be executed more than ten days later, as if he had already expected this ending.But most of the pawns sent out by people, especially the most important pawn, are dead soldiers who know their end.This was something that was understandable, but King An had seen it before, Mu Xirou's calmness was not the calmness that had been expected for her own ending, but a faint joy that seemed to contain relief.joy?
King An only felt a headache. These people were too calm, so calm that he couldn't help but doubt his original foolproof plan.Now there is an extra stranger holding the will, which makes him even more hesitant.He is a person who pays attention to infallibility, and this time is even more so.Therefore, he finally turned around, interrupted the debate among the diners, and left in a hurry after saying "wait and see what happens".

It's just that the change observed was much earlier than everyone expected.

Because on the second day, the Empress Dowager Yide announced the news that Lin Weilin, the great talent who had resigned from office and went back to hermit, returned to the official position after more than 20 years with the order of the late emperor.

When this happened, there was an uproar.

Lin Wei's reputation is well-known among the older generation of civil and military officials, even the young officials in the court, as well as the fathers and uncles in the family all know it.Such a person who has full influence on An Pingchao suddenly came back in such a high-profile manner in today's unpredictable situation.Although this is in line with Lin Wei's unruly style, it is really shocking.

Immediately, there were two storms in the court.A group of people strongly opposed Lin Wei's entry into an official position, even if they took the emperor's will.He also brought up the story of his resignation and going back to seclusion, saying that since he was dedicated to serving the country, why he had to leave freely at the beginning, and now he came back, I am afraid that he has ulterior motives.Another group of people strongly supported Lin Wei, only saying that Lin Wei had talent and strategy in his chest, and staying in the court would just be able to seek prosperity for the Anping Dynasty, which was the well-being of the people of the Anping Dynasty.Let's see which of today's civil servants can match Lin Wei's talent and learning. Such a talented blade will naturally be heavily appointed.

The people who opposed Lin Wei were from the side of King An. Since the first person Lin Wei saw was the Empress Dowager Yide, these people were sure that there must be a conspiracy in it.As for the people who supported Lin Wei, they did not support the Queen Mother, but most of them were veterans of the original court, and they also had friendship with Lin Wei.Lin Wei's influence among civil servants has not diminished after decades.

In fact, Lin Wei didn't care what people outside said about him.Empress Dowager Yide's imperial decree has come down, Lin Wei still has the imperial decree of the former emperor in his hand, how can anyone control him now?Furthermore, the people who supported his return were all veteran officials in the court with high prestige, so there was nothing anyone could do about it, so Tan Hualang, who had resigned from office and went back to hermitage, returned with such vigor and vigor under the eyes of everyone.

Now that they are back, everyone can't help but start guessing why Lin Wei came back.And Lin Wei really lived up to expectations, showing his previous lawlessness, and on the second day after he became an official, he publicly published a statement in the court to explain the matter of establishing the regent as soon as possible, and also made it clear that he was supporting Ji Lingchen .

The matter seemed to have turned into a farce, and no one thought that Lin Wei would do something like this.Immediately, people who supported King An quarreled with Lin Wei at the court, but who was Lin Wei? It's so sneering, I didn't think it when I first heard it, but when I listened carefully, I just felt it was extremely old-fashioned.The few ministers who supported King An's blushing blushed and thick necks, but couldn't say a word.

That alone was enough, Lin Wei also began to lobby other courtiers everywhere.He was a literati, and all the people he was looking for were civil servants in the court, and most of them were old and influential in the court.Of course, I also have a full friendship with him.I already had friendship with Lin Wei, and Lin Wei was like a leader in the hearts of the civil servants. In addition to his eloquent tongue, it took almost less than a few days. Most of the civil servants who were still hesitant were steadfast. They definitely sided with Ji Lingchen's faction.

In this world, civil servants seem to have no real power, but their role should not be underestimated.The students of civil servants are all over the world, and scholars are people who speak a lot of words among the common people. If all the good words are directed to Ji Lingchen, even if King An ascends the throne later, his reputation will not be improved.Lin Wei's behavior became more and more presumptuous, and finally, even a person who is used to patience like An Jun Wang couldn't bear it anymore.
