must have fun

Chapter 88 Undercurrent

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice is over fifty and six years old, and today happens to be his birthday.

Because he doesn't like extravagance and waste, so he didn't make a big fuss, but just set up a small banquet at home, posted a post to a few colleagues he had made friends, and invited them to get together over the house.

There were several carriages parked sparsely at the gate of Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Punishment. In the attic of the mansion, a birthday banquet was being held in name, but there was no sound of changing glasses.The servants in the house stood thirty paces away, except for the occasional serving of tea and water, not daring to approach without summons.Shang Shu's confidant was guarding the door of the attic with his hands on his hips and a serious expression.

Looking from the outside, the moonlight window paper in the attic is dimly lit, and there is no expected food and wine in the building.On the contrary, the ministers who were invited were sitting on the chairs, each with only a cup of hot tea at hand.Several bean lamps constituted the lighting in the huge space, illuminating the faces of various officials either brightly or darkly.

No matter how you look at this scene, it doesn't look like a birthday banquet, but everyone in the banquet is like a candle, knowing what the purpose of coming here is.

Sitting on the main seat, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, who is also the host of this birthday banquet, glanced up and down over the faces of all the people in the hall, all of whom were the survivors of the old Daqi, and then coughed: "The people are almost the same. We're all here, let's start..."

Someone in the seat said: "Prime Minister Feng is not here, should we wait?"

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice didn't need to look up, he just heard the voice and knew that this was the Si Cheng of Dali Temple.

Just as he was about to answer, someone said in a strange voice: "I'm afraid this Prime Minister Feng will not come." The speaker has kite shoulders and jackal eyes, a brocade hat and a sable fur. He looks about 50 or [-] years old, and now he is Zuo Yushi.

Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice acquiesced to this statement, and said: "Feng Xiang has a lot of opportunities every day, and I don't have time to come here today, so I don't have to wait for him when I take a seat."

I don't know who it is, sighed faintly: "President Feng is getting farther and farther away from us now."

"It's not just far away, the old man sees that he is eager to get rid of us." Zuo Yushi curled his lips and said.

"Don't dare to talk nonsense, do you mean that Feng Xiang is going to betray Daqi?" Xu Hanlin, who was sitting beside him, widened his eyes and the beard on his lips trembled.

"Isn't his manner saying enough?"

The audience fell into a brief silence, and everyone undoubtedly agreed with Zuo Yushi's statement.

"The old man once said that day that Old Dog Feng is untrustworthy, untrustworthy, and you all have to believe him. Now that there are fewer and fewer veterans who support Daqi's restoration, the old man doesn't believe that Old Dog Feng is not behind it? "Already torn his face, he is no longer polite, Zuo Yushi said through gritted teeth.

Some supporters of Feng Huansen felt dissatisfied when they heard him humiliating Feng Huansen behind his back, and sarcastically said: "If Zuo Yushi is really so loyal to the emperor and patriotic, he will only live to this day."

Zuo Yushi slapped the table angrily and glared at the person who spoke angrily: "What do you mean!"

The two confronted each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"Okay, okay, don't quarrel." The Minister of the Ministry of Justice came out to smooth things over, comforted Zuo Yushi and sat down, and said: "Everyone is clear about the past. If there is no Feng to persuade us who want to die for the country, How can we sit here and talk safely today? How can we have the opportunity to plan for Daqi's resurrection? We should not question him."

Ignoring Feng Huansen's question, he said instead: "I'm bringing everyone together today to discuss it. What's the plan for now?"

The seats immediately understood the deep meaning of his words, and the Prime Minister of Dali Temple pointed out his meaning: "The Shang Shu wants to take advantage of the fact that the current emperor is addicted to pills, and secretly act for Da Xing?"

Minister of the Ministry of Justice nodded and said: "We have endured for 18 years! Such a great opportunity, if you don't cherish it, will you have to wait another 18 years?" For 18 years, the late emperor's voice and smile often appeared in his dreams, lifelike .If he can't see the Great Enlightenment return in his lifetime, he will die with regret.

Someone echoed: "Yes! In any case, this matter cannot be delayed any longer. Now that 18 years have passed, if it continues, not to mention that all the kings are old, and the common people will almost forget about Daqi. Let's bring it up again." Who cares about old things?"

But if you really want to talk about how to do it in practice, without Feng Huansen, these civil servants are all speechless.It was also because when the Qi Dynasty collapsed, all those related to the royal family were slaughtered by Lu Meng. They didn't know who to support in the uprising, and the dragons had no leader. Even if they were full of blood, they had nowhere to scatter.

"If I had known this, I should have died for my country that day... Now... I wouldn't be so humiliated." Xu Hanlin murmured softly, his cloudy eyes dimmed because of his helplessness.

The Prime Minister of Dali Temple suddenly opened his eyes and said: "Didn't Prime Minister Feng say that he found the princess? If it is true, after so long, there should be news, right?"

"Hmph, it's been so long, and Feng Xiang hasn't mentioned how the child is doing now, where exactly, who knows what Feng Xiang is up to?" Zuo Yushi said coldly, not wanting to argue with others anymore, and the address is also the same. changed back to the original.

Back then, after Lu Meng led his troops into the palace, he slaughtered Daqi's royal family. When he counted the number later, he found that there was one princess missing.Lv Meng was furious and ordered to investigate. He almost searched the whole palace, but he couldn't find any trace of the little princess.

No one knew where the little princess had gone, she disappeared into the palace as if the world had evaporated.The few of them have been secretly looking for this princess all these years, but they have tried hard and found nothing.

It wasn't until a year ago that Feng Huansen suddenly told them that he had found the whereabouts of the princess, and everyone saw a glimmer of light in the darkness.

Zuo Yushi continued to talk about his guess: "The old man probably didn't survive the child, otherwise no matter how strict Feng Xiangzang is, we can find some clues."

All the ministers had to agree that what he said was very possible, but they didn't want them to extinguish even this last bit of light.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice sighed inexplicably: "It would be great if that child was really alive..." They have endured humiliation and planned for so many years, and they all have their day.

Lingtai Cheng, who had been listening to them all the time without saying a word, suddenly got a trick and said: "Even though we haven't found the princess yet, I have an idea, I don't know whether to say it or not..."

As soon as this remark came out, the others immediately asked him to speak out.

After the banquet at Shangshu's mansion of the Ministry of Punishment ended, the ministers dispersed and left.

A carriage drove out from the door of Shangshu's Mansion of the Ministry of Punishment, and when it was about to arrive home, it suddenly turned around and headed towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The owner of the carriage, wearing a dark blue cloak, got off from the stopped carriage.

The lantern under the eaves of the Prime Minister's Mansion illuminated his face, and it was the Prime Minister of Dali Temple who was sitting on the table just now.

Feng Huansen sneered when he heard what happened at the banquet and reported everything in detail.

This group of old men, relying on their bravery and lack of strategy, wanted to overthrow Dayu, who was in full swing, it was wishful thinking.

It seems that he didn't make a mistake in his risky move back then, forgive them for not thinking that he would put the person they want to find in front of them, and face them every day.

He weighed a sunspot with both fingers, and tapped it lightly on the chessboard. After a while, he made another decision seemingly unintentionally.

On his way to the palace to face the saint, the prince accidentally ran into someone he hated the most.

Originally, he wanted to treat the other party as nothing and walked straight over, but he didn't know that the person would deliberately meet his face and come to greet him.

"Brother Huang, long time no see." Ninth King Lu Yan smiled slightly.

With a cold face, the prince was not angry and pretentious, and forced a perfunctory sound through his teeth.

"Is the emperor here to look for the emperor?" Jiu Wang still smiled, and persuaded him kindly: "The younger brother just came from the father, and the father has just finished taking the medicine and is going to rest. Maybe it is inconvenient to see the emperor at this time. Brother Huang, come next time."

When the prince heard the words of taking medicine, the acupuncture points on both sides of his head thumped, and the tight string in his heart was broken by him. Immediately, regardless of the entourage around him, he took a big step, picked up the collar of the Nine Kings, and hated Unable to beat the other party to death, he said: "Lu Daoyan, if you want the crown prince position, I will leave it to you alone. Why do you bother to confuse father and emperor to practice Taoism with you? Where do you put all the people in the world?"

The entourage of the two people looked at the sudden situation in front of them in surprise, and they were at a loss for a while, neither persuading them nor not persuading them.

"The prince is so disregarding his status to attack the Nine Kings, isn't he afraid that someone who has a heart will tell the emperor?" The attendants of the Nine Kings hurriedly stood beside the two, persuading the Prince.

Hearing this, the prince viciously loosened the collar of the Nine Kings.

"Brother Huang is too serious, how dare I think about Brother Huang's position?" Ninth King took a step back, clinging to the whisk, lowered his body, and said in an extremely humble tone.

The crown prince knew that he was playing a show, he was too lazy to entangle with him, and wanted to leave, and heard the Nine Kings say lightly: "If the emperor's going here angers the father, don't blame the minister for not reminding the emperor."

The prince left without hearing anything, and the nine kings waited for him to leave before showing contempt in their eyes.

He walked slowly to the white marble railing, had a panoramic view of the entire palace, raised his head slightly, looked up at the dazzling Dongyang, and raised his hand to hold it.

If you want to stand, you need to break it first. If you don't break it, you can't stand it. Where does the Kingdom of Ultimate Bliss come from?

What is the position of a crown prince?What he wants is to be a herdsman on behalf of the sky, to live as long as the sky!

At this time, a little Taoist came to him in a hurry and whispered something to him, the Nine Kings laughed more and more deceitfully, and said: "Very good." Everything went as he wished.

He told the little Taoist priest: "Be sure to get things done before they come back." The little Taoist priest understood and left as promised.

"I beg to see my father!" the prince bowed loudly outside the Taiyu Hall.

The Taiyu Hall was surrounded by smog, and the fragrance of sandalwood was wafting. Lu Meng was reclining on the couch, wearing only a light yellow thin shirt in the severe winter, with his chest slightly open, exuding warmth all over his body.

The brazier in the hall was removed, and the junior official serving in the corner, even though he was wrapped in a thick jacket, was still shivering slightly from the cold, and lost feeling in his feet.

Zuo Huai brought up the iced tea, Lu Meng took it and drank it down, still feeling hot and unbearable.

Hearing the voice outside, he who was in a state of ecstasy opened his eyes impatiently and asked, "Who is it?"

The author has something to say: I am standing in front of you, guess who I am?

If it is a brother (sister) sister, I will change the name of this article to "Orange Life and Death Love"
