Chapter 110 B Scroll

"Qi Yongtai has entered the capital?" There was a haze between the eyebrows of the elderly man leaning on the dragon bed. The servant beside him saw that he wanted to get up, so he rushed up to help him, but he threw him away, "I'm still waiting for you." Not old enough to be helped!"

"Yes, back to the emperor, Qi Yongtai has almost never set foot in the capital in the past few years. Although Qingtan Academy is only ten or twenty miles away from the city, he has never been to the capital, so the old minister was the first to know about this. Situation." The old man by the side of the hall lowered his eyebrows, his tone was a little low, and his back was a little hunched, but the look of vigor on his brows remained undiminished.

   "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop." After a long time, the old man in the yellow robe who sat up said lightly, "It's only been two years, and many people are so still that they want to move."

  The stalwart old man didn't answer the question, and it's not his turn to start the conversation.

   "Did Mr. Longjiang know about it?" The old man in yellow robe asked suddenly.

"I'm afraid I don't know yet. Qi Yongtai went to the city that night. He didn't live in a hostel, but lived in Qi Shijiao's old house." After the emperor succeeded, he continued to serve as the chief assistant.

  The old man in the yellow robe smiled coldly, "When did Qi Yongtai and Qi Shijiao get together again? Where's Ye Xianggao? Where's Fang Congzhe?"

  The tough old man didn't pick up the conversation.

  Long sighed, the old man in yellow robe looked away from the window, "It seems that the emperor's mind is erratic, and many people have thoughts in their hearts."

   "My lord, your majesty is still very diligent. He reviews memorials every day, and he doesn't go to bed until midnight..." the slender old man couldn't help but say.

"Hehe, being an emperor doesn't work hard, so why not?" The yellow-robed old man sneered softly, "He is a man with a lot of ideas, but I'm afraid that there are no people around him, and now that he is the emperor, many people will rush forward. I can’t see the situation clearly, everyone’s talk makes money, accumulation destroys bones, three people become tigers, hey,…”

   "Where are Daheng Xiao and Wang Ziteng?" the old man in yellow robe asked suddenly.

   "Xiao Shangshu has been in poor health these days and has been recuperating at home. Wang Shilang has been there all the time, but the Beijing camp is busy with affairs, so he is mainly at the Beijing camp..." The stalwart old man hesitated for a moment.

   "Xiao Daheng is not in good health? Then how did I hear that he is still lavish in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and has personally intervened in several cases?" The cold eyes of the old man in yellow robe came over, making the strong old man shrink back.

   "I'm afraid you don't want to get involved in the murky waters of the Ministry of War?" The yellow-robed old man's tone became soft and cold.

   "The left servant from the Ministry of Punishment has not made it up for a long time, and the right servant and Dali Temple are in charge of the accumulated cases from years ago. They have entered a critical stage and cannot be separated from others, so Master Xiao is also..."

The old man in yellow robe suddenly interrupted the conversation, "Gu Yu, do you want to help these people cover up in front of me and fool me? These civil servants are all acting according to the wind. How many people are loyal to the king and patriotic? Don't look at their daring posture in front of me in the past, but when it comes to the bones, they are just sitting on the wall and watching the wind,..."

  The elderly man called Gu Yu was also a little sad.

  Of course he knows that the old man’s words hit the nail on the head, but this is from the Great Zhou Dynasty, no, it should be the customary pattern since the Tang and Song Dynasties, ruling the world with the scholar-bureaucrats!

These scholar-bureaucrats and civil officials inherently feel that they are superior to others. The world does not belong to the royal family, but should be governed together with the scholar-bureaucrats. Feeling punished by God, all disasters and strange omens in the world are caused by the sins of your emperor alone.

  Seeing that the old man was silent, the yellow-robed old man shook his head. He also knew that the current situation was like this, so he didn’t cause it himself. It’s just that time has changed, but now he feels the trouble here again.

   "Then Qi Yongtai came to Beijing, but he was invited by others?" The old man in yellow robe looked away, "Have you ever met anyone other than Qi Shijiao?"

   "According to what I know, Qi Yongtai has also met Fang Congzhe and Ye Xianggao." After a pause, he seemed to be a little hesitant, and finally the stalwart old man answered with his head down.

"Oh? Qi Yongtai met the two of them?" The expression on the face of the yellow-robed old man became a little subtle. Both of them were Ge elders, and Ye Xianggao was the second assistant, but Fang Congzhe's reputation was not small. They have served as Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials and Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites. If Shen Yiguan steps down as the chief assistant in the future, these two may be the most popular candidates to take over as the chief assistant, but now Shen Yiguan may not be willing to serve as the chief assistant.

   "Could this matter have something to do with the emperor?" The old man in yellow robe finally turned cold, and he also stood up and started pacing back and forth in the hall.

   "I haven't found it yet." Shaking his head, Gu Cheng dared not speak nonsense on this issue.

As the commander of Long Jinwei, he seems to be bedridden for more than half a year, but in fact he has not let go of the real power of Long Jinwei. Lu Song is not an idle person, but his decades of accumulation in Long Jinwei He can easily be replaced.

  He was also a little confused about what the Supreme Emperor was thinking.

  At the beginning when the Supreme Emperor wanted to hand over the throne to the current emperor, who was Prince Zhongxiao back then, he had implicitly reminded the Supreme Emperor to be cautious.

This is a move to shake the foundation of the country, and a little carelessness will lead to catastrophe. Even if the emperor wants to do this, he will also bear a huge risk, especially because of some reasons that cannot be explained to outsiders, and it is even more difficult to convince Civilian system.

  It’s just that the crown prince, who is now Prince Yizhong, broke the heart of the Supreme Emperor. Although the Supreme Emperor was furious, although he did not directly confine the prince, he would no longer be able to ascend the throne.

In the end, although the Supreme Emperor succeeded in resolving this crisis by relying on his 40-year prestige, making Prince Zhongxiao the emperor of today, but it also made the civil officials extremely dissatisfied with the Supreme Emperor, which in turn affected the difficulty of many administrative measures in the later period. .

Since King Zhongxiao ascended the throne as the emperor, everything has passed, and King Zhongxiao was able to win the favor of the Supreme Emperor among the kings. Naturally, he has some skills. I want to repent, but I don't want to think about it. Is there any room for repentance in such things? Otherwise, it will be another catastrophe.

It's just that he also knows the character of the Supreme Emperor. After serving for decades, if he has a certain idea, it is really difficult to make him change his wish. It's just that under the current situation, even if the Supreme Emperor has some thoughts, but now It is also difficult to have many opportunities, which can only increase troubles in vain.

"Qi Yongtai is a stubborn person, and it is difficult to turn back what he decides. At that time..." the old man in yellow robe also regretted it. I won't resign in the end, but it's too late to regret now, but I don't know what this person is thinking now.

  Gu Cheng remained silent, he was the one to discuss such matters, and the matter was over, and it was a foregone conclusion, and it would be useless to regret it later.

   "That's too... Boss..." The old man in yellow robe suddenly turned his head.

"Reporting to the emperor, there is nothing unusual about Prince Yizhong staying at home, but..." Gu Cheng hesitated for a moment before he said: "But the king of Dongping County and the king of Xining County respectively went to Prince Yizhong's mansion the day before yesterday to serve Prince Yizhong. Happy birthday."

   "Oh?" The yellow-robed old man's face changed slightly, and he was silent, "What about water-soluble?"

"I haven't been there before." Gu Cheng took a deep breath, "A few days ago, the King of Beijing Jing went to Iron Net Mountain for hunting, and he returned after five days. Duke Zhen and Duke Li returned from their northern tour to the south at this time. ..."

  The old man in the yellow robe remained indifferent, so Gu Cheng swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and muttered: "..., Prince Yizhong's son is also going north..."

  The sharp eyes of the old man in yellow robe fell on Gu Cheng's face, and he didn't move for a long time, Gu Cheng's eyes flickered.

   "Where is Wang Ziteng?"

   "Wang Shilang inspected Xuan Da and hasn't returned yet." Gu Cheng hurriedly said.

   "Then, did the fourth child know all this?" the yellow robed old man said sullenly.

   "The emperor probably already knew that Lu Song acted very steadily, but the emperor didn't say anything, and the king of life also went to the mansion of Yizhong to pay his respects..." Gu Cheng hesitated to speak again.

  Shou Wang is the eldest son of the current emperor.

The old man in the yellow robe couldn't help laughing at himself. He raised his head and looked at the dome of the hall. He seemed to be recalling something, with a complicated expression on his face. Look, what a brother and friend Gong."

  The hall was silent, and the dark and gloomy shadow in the deep was like a giant beast accompanied by flickering candles, as if it wanted to choose someone to devour.

   "Gu Yu, what do you think I should do?" The yellow-robed old man's tone was full of desolation.
