Chapter 90: Eve of the storm

The jailer had already known An An before, and when he introduced himself, he asked An Zheng to call him Lao Sun. Anzheng was brought into the cell directly by Chen Zaiyan, the servant of the Ministry of Military Affairs. When he came in, Chen Zaiyan deliberately explained his grandson to them, so they were also polite to Anzheng.

After the grandson entered the door, he said with a smile: "Anye, you may need to stay longer."

An Zheng lying on the bed sat up: "Why?"

Old Sun said: "Sir Lang said just now that he will wait until the public opinion is calmed down before he can show you up. The adult just sent someone over to let me know you ... he said your most suitable time to show up is here When the matter is about to be solved perfectly. You stand up and say a few words for the martial arts and the military department, and then this matter will pass away. As for your crime, Master Shilang said, he will find a way to wash it off for you. "

An Zheng thought about it, but this is not a big deal: "It's okay to stay for a few days, but I have to write back to tell my family."

Old Sun said: "That's not a big deal. You have written it, Anye. I will send someone to send you home."

An Zheng nodded: "Thank you, Brother Sun, you are much older than me, don't call me An Ye."

The grandson always laughed, very honest, but there was a kind of city in his eyes that only happened after a lot of things: "An Ye, we ca n’t talk about age, although you seem to have committed some things, but there are Shang Shu and Master Shi Lang. To protect you, there are so many people staring at it, it is impossible for the court to treat you. And after this, An Ye, your future will be bright. In the future, if you come out from the martial arts school, the most unlucky is also the sixth. The lack of a school captain of the product, as long as he accumulates a little military merit, will soon be promoted to a fifth-class general. "

"At that time, you and I were far from each other. So the grandson now calls you An Ye, not too much."

An Zheng pointed to the wine and vegetables left by the old grandson on the table: "Drink?"

Old Sun smiled, "Yes, Xie An's reward."

Another jailer hurried out to find two stools. The jailer was a young man, and he looked 17 or 8 years old. The skin is very dark, the eyes are big, and it looks as honest and thick as the old grandson, but the spirit is much more energetic. His name is Lu Kuan, and his grandson is called Master.

This is an unwritten rule. The new jailer in the prison must be brought by a master. In the Yamen, there are also a group of helpers under the general catchers. These helpers receive the silver from the catchers, but they are not part of the official establishment of the Yamen. They also have to control the unpleasant master who gives them money.

Lu Kuan looks black and honest, but he is very smart. When I moved the stool, I was standing next to me, arguing for the grandson and An.

"Sit down, why are you so restrained."

An Zheng pointed to the empty stool beside him.

Lao Sun said: "Since An Ye let you sit, you can sit. In the future, you can look at An Ye and have unlimited achievements in the future. How many years younger than you, and you, no chance, just Learn to clean up people's craftsmanship with me in this prison. "

Lu Kuan still giggled and didn't talk.

An Zheng said with a smile: "Actually, it's quite comfortable to work here, so you don't have to go outside and touch too many people and things."

Lao Sun said: "So people are stupid, I was locked in stupidity. After working here for so many years, I can't do anything anymore. My stupid apprentice went to the next level and was born with stupidity. It ’s even more silly to come out and stay in this unit ’s prison for a few more years. It ’s even more silly to go out. When the time comes, I will not communicate and do things. If you say I will be gone later, what can he do. "

Lu Kuan still laughed, foolishly puffing out.

An Zheng poured a glass of wine to Lao Sun: "Our military department is actually the fairest government office. At least there are not so many dirty things. People are honestly fine, and they will not be bullied here."

Old Sun nodded: "An Ye is right in saying this. Our soldiers' style is rare and clean. If this stupid boy was sent to the prison of the criminal department, he might have been bullied to death. Follow me as his luck, At least I'm so good at serving, just don't bump me and make me angry. "

Lu Kuan smirked and said the first sentence: "How to make Master angry, then ... that is not filial."

His language skills are really limited, and I haven't read any books, so I used the simplest three words of unfilial piety to describe my thoughts.

It seems that these are very good two people, but An Zheng always feels that these two people are a bit strange. Perhaps it is because of so many years of experience in the Law Department of Daxi Ming, An Zheng has seen too many people. So from the beginning, he always had a sense of vigilance against Lao Sun and Lu Kuan, although he felt that the soldiers would not be really embarrassed.

An Zheng had been chatting with Lao Sun one after another, and when leaning back, he saw Lu Kuan's hand under the table rubbing unnaturally. The left hand rubs the right hand, the right hand rubs the left hand.

That night, Chen Jaiyan, the assistant of the Ministry of Military Affairs, personally sent Hao Ping'an, the master of Shangshu, to the carriage. When he got into the car, Hao Ping'an might be tired and swayed a little, and Chen Zaiyan helped Hao Ping's hand to take him to the car. The carriage was escorted by 16 masters of the military department and returned directly to Hao Ping's house.

At dawn the next day, Chen Zaiyan entered the palace and told the king of Yan Mu Changyan about the martial arts in detail.

The window was open, and the morning wind blew in from the window, making Mu Changyan, who was drunk last night, awake. Yesterday, he knew the matter of the martial arts school, and he hadn't gotten his turn to do anything. The queen mother Su Qingnuan hurriedly came and asked to thoroughly investigate the military department and remove Hao Anping. Mu Changyan still has a head in the military affairs. He knew that Hao Ping'an and the military personnel were the most loyal officers to himself. If the military department was overturned, he would have no power at all.

He was worried and drunk last night.

"What do you mean? This was arranged by the Ministry of Defense itself?"

Mu Changyan's face changed after listening to Chen Zaiyan's words.

Chen Zaiyan nodded and said: "Back to King, this matter was planned by Master Shang Shu personally. Master Shang Shu knows well that the martial arts school has also been infected by the evil wind. But in the martial arts court, the interests of too many people are involved, so if this matter is disclosed in advance, it is difficult to check the martial arts court. "

"Then you should speak to the orphan first."

Mu Changyan heard that Chen had already stated the solution before he said it, so he calmed down a little bit: "Hao Ping's thoughts are good, but he is a bit reckless in doing so. Especially before the Qiucheng ceremony, such things happened. The influence is really too bad. I am afraid that those students will be disappointed with Dayan. "

Chen Zaiyan said: "Master Shangshu means to tell the king first, but then when discussing with Weichen, I feel that once this matter is first told to the king, I am afraid that ... the queen mother will interfere."

The queen mother is the thorn in Mu Changyan's heart, so Chen Zaiyan's words immediately made Mu Changyan a little angry. But he became angry, and Chen Zaiyan was right after all.

Chen Zaiyan continued: "Master Shang Shu said that the martial arts are rotten. If we don't go to eat the rotten meat ourselves, those who want to control the martial arts will use the rotten meat to make the martial arts rotten faster. At that time, it would be difficult to think about the martial arts academy again. And the reason why Master Shangshu made this decision was because he felt that there seemed to be an unknown force and wanted to control the martial academy. "

Mu Changyan certainly knew who the unknown forces Chen Zaiyan pointed out were. The Queen Mother had always wanted to control the military and martial arts academies. He knew that.

Chen Zaiyan said: "Master Shang Shu said that he wanted to beat the other party by surprise. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he cut off all the hands that were put into the martial arts school, and all the hands that were put into the military department. Only in this way can we guarantee The purity of the martial arts and military department guarantees the loyalty of all people in the martial arts and military department to the king. He also said that after all this matter needs a person to stand up and sacrifice, he is willing to be this person. "

Mu Changyan sighed: "Alas ... it's hard for him."

Chen Zaiyan said: "In fact, it is not only Master Shang Shu who made the sacrifice, but also the young man named An Zheng."

"Anjou?"

Mu Changyan tranced in his head, and always felt the name was familiar. Suddenly he thought of his private visit to the palace that time, he met the team called Tianqizong who entered the city. These two things that are inexplicably linked, Mu Changyan actually thought of the matter of living in the Magical Great Wall four years ago.

"Oh ... it's him."

Mu Changyan murmured to himself, and then he was shocked.

Did Aunt Ye and the son of the former prince also come to Beijing?

He straightened up immediately: "Who is this dispute?"

Chen Zaiyan said: "It is a young man very much appreciated by Master Shangshu and a rare talent. Although he is only fifteen years old, he has high ambitions, deep thoughts, and will become a great weapon in the future. Moreover, this young man has dedicated his life Heart, willing to sacrifice his reputation and future to help Lord Shangshu accomplish this, this spirit is particularly commendable. The king is now at the time of employment, this young man can reuse it in the future. "

In this matter, Mu Changyan's heart was like turning over the river and the sea, thinking about another thing.

Ye Yun and the former prince's child Xiaoqidao came to Beijing. Once this matter was known to the queen mother, Xiaoqidao would definitely die. Once Ye Yun knew that his child was gone, he would definitely be disappointed with him. That was his brother's child, the blood of the Mu family, and this matter must not be revealed.

Then Mu Changyan turned to think that this young man named An Zheng had been protecting Xiaoqidao for more than four years, and obviously had a true feeling for Xiaoqidao. Once you mobilize your hands to protect Xiao Qidao, it will inevitably cause the queen mother to doubt, so you must leave this contention. He had an idea in the blink of an eye before, An Zheng knew the identity of Xiao Qidao, must immediately remove An Zheng.

But as soon as his thoughts changed, he knew that it was the most irrational way to get rid of Anzheng.

"Oh……"

Mu Changyan was absent-minded, and then may have noticed that she was a little sick, so she asked the following consciously: "Why aren't these things, Hao Ping'an came and said alone."

Chen Zaiyan bowed his head and said, "Master Shangshu has not returned home for half a month for this matter and for the war in the frontier. He sleeps for only one or two hours a day, which is too laborious. He had to come here in person this morning. King, but because of his physical discomfort, he was already bedridden. Last night, Lord Shang Shu sent someone to tell me that he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to report the matter to the king personally, so Jean Chen went to the palace early to see you. "

Mu Changyan sighed: "If Dayan is a few more people like Hao Pingping, he will feel at ease alone. You are also very good. In these years, he is the most effective assistant of Hao Pingping in the Ministry of War. This is not easy. Hao Ping's recuperation at home, you should temporarily take the power of the book. You are also familiar with the affairs of the military department. For others, you are only afraid of suffocating the military department. "

"Senior commander."

Chen Zaiyan clenched his fists: "King, this matter must be resolved as soon as possible, so the minister has already started to investigate the martial arts court, and there will be results today. The minister first retreated to appease the people, and then the results of the martial arts court will be made public in the afternoon. All the candidates who had been delayed by the martial arts school were found back, and then they had to arrange what the martial arts school disclosed to the people, and let the people walk into the martial arts school, so that the people could learn more about the martial arts school. "

"Go ahead."

Mu Changyan said: "You are solely responsible for this matter. Don't worry about the Empress Dowager's side, the military department, alone will never give in."

Chen Zaiyan got up and said: "Come back."

After Chen Zaiyan left Tianji Palace, he immediately went to the Wuyuan. Then, outside the martial arts, the face-to-face explanation of the surrounding people knew nothing. With such a court official present, the people's troubles gradually became less severe. Then Chen Zaiyan sent a lot of steamed buns to the crowd. He stood on the high platform and explained while eating the steamed buns with the people. Chen Zaiyan's prestige in the hearts of the people immediately reached a new height.

In the afternoon, Hao Ping's family from Shangshu Hao Ping's family sent a letter to Tianji Palace to report that Master Shangshu was seriously ill. Mu Changyan was shocked and personally rushed to Hao Ping'an Mansion with the best doctors in Tianji Palace.

At the same time, Chen Zaiyan published a list of people who were found to be dereliction of duty in the martial arts school at the gate of the martial arts school. There were two pages, involving more than 60 people, including a deputy president of the martial arts school. The inspector of the military department rushed directly into the martial arts court to arrest people, but more than one hundred people were brought to court in half a day. Moreover, the case was not handed over to the criminal department, and the military department reported directly to Yan Wang Mu Changyan.

When the sky was dark, the people were completely infected with Chen Zaiyan's personality charm, and he was sincerely convinced by him.

Chen Zaiyan announced to everyone at the entrance of the martial arts court that the martial arts court will be open for three days, and anyone can enter the martial arts court to visit. Then the martial arts school will reopen a new censorship system and relax the conditions for the children of Hanmen. More ordinary people can enter the martial arts school and receive the same fair and just treatment as everyone. As long as the qualified graduates in the martial arts school can be directly assigned to the military to become low-level officers.

This news is really too exciting for the people.

Chen Zaiyan said before leaving: "The young examinee who fought out the corruption in the martial arts school is furious. Now he is in the military department. Everyone is assured that he will not be treated unfairly. Part of his family property, looking for candidates who had been excluded from the martial arts school, and let them return to the martial arts school to study. In addition, Anzheng is willing to pay a sum of money to specifically support the poor students in the family, at least let everyone No worries for three meals at the Wuyuan. "

The people cheered a lot, and incidentally, the name of Anzheng was also known by more and more people.

The Splendid Palace.

Su Mao's face was very ugly: "The Queen Mother ... The Ministry of Defense's response was too fast. The original minister thought this matter was an opportunity that could be a good opportunity for us to defeat Hao Ping'an. But he hasn't waited for the minister to make a plan The matter of the Wuyuan Academy has been resolved, and public opinion has been calmed down. Now we can only call on the group officials to participate in Hao Ping'an, and then look at the situation, can we remove Hao Ping's from the military. "

Empress Su said: "This matter, the King's attitude is very firm. He rarely dare to talk back to me. I can't force him to be too urgent. After all, this puppet is needed. But in any case, the Ministry of Military Affairs must Grab it and bring down Hao Ping'an so that our people can fit in. As long as the military department is in hand and the military power is in control, the king will not be allowed to fight against me anymore. "

Su Mao replied: "This matter can't be dragged on, and the minister will go back here, summon the ministers, and discuss the wording of Hao Ping, the co-counselor."

The Queen Mother Su waved her hand: "Go, the Wuyuan Academy is small, and the Ministry of Military Affairs is large. The Wuyuan Academy can be caused by them, and we can start again slowly. But the Ministry of Military Affairs can't stop for a moment, even if Hao Ping'an died, and I can't let him die from the scenery. "

Su Mao got up and retreated: "This is what the minister is going to do."

He was about to go outside, Li Changlu, the nearby servant of Queen Mother Su, hurried in and rushed to the ground with a thump: "The Queen Mother ... Shangshu Hao Pingan ... Dead!"

Queen Mother Su stood up sharply: "Dead? Isn't it serious? You die so soon?"

Li Changlu knelt there and replied: "It's not seriously ill, the previous news was wrong. The exact news came from Hao Ping's house just now, saying that Hao Ping'an blamed himself too much for the military department and the martial arts school. Now. "

Empress Su's body shook slightly, and the anger in her eyes burned like fire: "This Hao is safe!"

She just said that even if Hao Ping'an died, he couldn't let his scenery die. Now Hao Ping'an is indeed not the death of the scenery, but left the world in guilt for death, but this person's reputation can no longer be defiled. He was already dead, and it did n’t make sense to put any more charges on him. A confession of death will offset all mistakes.

When Hao Pingan died, there would be unprecedented solidarity among the soldiers, so even if she wanted to take the opportunity to insert people, it would be as difficult as going to the sky.

"Immediately find a way to attract Chen Zaiyan to this person."

The Empress Dowager calmed down and instructed, "He was born in a humble place, and has never seen anything in the world. Give him money, treasures, women, give him everything he can give, and pull this person over to me. The king will inevitably promote Chen Zaiyan to Shangshu , We have lost our first move, and at this time it is too late to compete with Chen Zaiyan. Then get him over and do it now! "

Hao Ping'an ran out quickly, and his steps were a little chaotic.

At this time, Chen Zaiyan was sitting quietly face-to-face with An Zhengan in the military prison.
