Conquer the World

Chapter 289 Twice One Arrow and Two Eagles

Tai Chi Palace

On both sides of the open space outside the Dongneng Pavilion, there is a row of buildings that do not seem to match the overall style of the Tai Chi Palace.These are five tile houses. If they are placed elsewhere, they do n’t look too low, but they are in the magnificent Taiji Palace. These five tile houses are so unremarkable.

In such a house, there is a row on the left and right outside the Dongnuan Pavilion.Outside the Taiji Temple, there is also a row on the left and right.

On the left is the place where eunuchs and court ladies take turns to rest, and of course there is Ouchi guard.On the right is the court where the emperors waited for the emperor to be heard, and since the emperor Tianyou came to power, the row of tiles on the right side of the Taiji Temple has become the place where several emperors of the imperial court worked.The emperor was diligent and often called courtiers to the Dongnuan Pavilion for discussion.The government departments of the imperial court were outside the Taiji Palace, and it took too much time to go back and forth.

The emperor simply let several heavy ministers work in the tile house outside the Taiji Great Hall. It would be more convenient if he spread the word.Later, these slightly dilapidated houses gradually became a symbol of honor.Because only the emperor trusts people who reuse, will be eligible to sit there.

Later, these gloomy houses were given a glorious name.

It is called the front court of the temple, and the officials who have been in these tile houses for a long time have been turned into court officials by others.Someone once laughed that if you can't be a court official in Beijing, you might as well go to the local government as a parent.That being said, no more than ten people are qualified to work here for a long time.

These people naturally know the comments about the court officials, but they will not care about this kind of jealousy, but on the contrary, they think that this is definitely something to be proud of.With so many people in the Manchu Dynasty, how many people can be called court officials?

Relatively speaking, the tile house outside the Taiji Hall is also called the outer court in order to distinguish the tile house outside the Dongnuan Pavilion, and the one outside the Dongnuan Pavilion is called the inner court.If being a court officer is already envied and jealous, then being a court officer is even more eye-catching.

Since Prince Yi's chaos, the court has long had more than a dozen officials sitting there.While dealing with the official duties of the ministry and government, while compiling information about the disturbances of Prince Yi, your majesty often asks about these matters.In the inner court, there is usually only one official working in the office for a long time, regardless of whether the Prince Yi rebelled.

Eligible to sit in the inner court, always waiting for this man called by His Majesty.Not very high in terms of grade, but the power is beyond imagination.

He is Pei Yan, Zheng Sipin's yellow doorman.In terms of grade, it is not as good as the books of the ministries, and equal to the assistants of the ministries.

The big Sui is too big, and the folds sent from all over the country every day, plus the folds handed in by all kinds of Beijing officials, it is no exaggeration to say that it can be filled with two oxcarts every day.With so many awards, even if the emperor can work hard for twelve hours a day, it is impossible to finish reading, not to mention the approval of every award.

What had once been sorted out was handed over to the eunuch Bingbi Yushufang.But after the emperor Yang Yi ascended the throne, this habit was abolished.Yang Yi decided that the people in the harem must not interfere in the government affairs of the previous dynasty.Not only eunuchs are allowed, but also concubines.Even for the queen for so many years, she has not interjected in the previous government affairs.

Because of this, it also caused the biggest difference between the present eunuch Bingbi eunuch and the former eunuch Bingbi.When the first emperor was in power, he valued the eunuch's ability to handle government affairs, and the current emperor valued loyalty.The biggest difference between Su Buwei and Wu Peisheng is that he is more self-aware.Unless the emperor asked him to speak, he would not say anything about the affairs of the court.

It is precisely because Wu Peisheng has dealt with government affairs for so many years, and is also used to sorting out the courtiers ’compromises, and then according to the emperor ’s thinking, he will reply unimportantly, so he has more sense of mission and responsibility than Su.In other words, his loyalty to Da Sui is even stronger than his personal loyalty to the emperor.It is precisely because of this that the emperor will let him take people to inspect the Northwest Dadao.Because of this, Wu Peisheng died of misfortune.

Because, he discovered the secret of Li Yuanshan.

The existence of the iron ore was not discovered by Mu Xiaoyao first, but by Wu Peisheng.Therefore, Li Yuanshan would not hesitate to design such a big and bloody bureau, so that Fan Gu's people would be buried with Wu Peisheng.Fang Jie guessed right. Fan Gu was nothing but a trivial little thing that happened that night.

Wu Peisheng found the clues that Li Yuanshan wanted to rebel, and also discovered the existence of the iron mine.But he couldn't deliver the news in time. His every move was under the supervision of Li Yuanshan.In order to gain the trust of Li Yuanshan, he pretended that he had found nothing.He also pretended to collect a lot of money from Li Yuanshan, and promised to remove the solution for Li Xiaozong. In fact, this was only Wu Peisheng's desire to paralyze Li Yuanshan.

But in fact, Li Yuanshan never believed him.

Fan Gu is a killing game, a killing game specially designed for Wu Peisheng.In order to prove that he was really just an eunuch who was greedy for money, Wu Peisheng agreed to Li Yuanshan to go to Fan Gu.But there was a tomb dug for him, and a tomb dug for Fan Gu's two thousand people and eight hundred frontiers.

From the moment Li Yuanshan discovered that Wu Peisheng secretly investigated him, Li Yuanshan was designing how to kill this big man who had been extremely popular in front of the first emperor and also a decisive figure in front of the current emperor.To kill a eunuch, it is obviously unrealistic to arbitrarily arrange a river and lake robbery to convince others.Besides, although Wu Peisheng is not good at cultivation, he is also a master of seventh grade.

Who can kill him, more than eight ranks of rivers and lakes, no one bother to do anything to block the road robbers.If you really have more than eight grades of cultivation, even if you don't work for the court, you can be reused and respected if you invest in a business or a family.

Therefore, to kill Wu Peisheng, Li Yuanshan must find an excuse to convince the emperor.

So, he thought of the Yuan Yuan people.

...

...

Huangmen Shilang, Pei Yan sat on the chair, looked at the mountains of zigzags on the table in front of him, raised his hands and rubbed his wrinkled brows gently. One quarter.This is his most important job every day, categorizing the performance according to priority.Sort out important events and send them to the Dongnuan Pavilion to present to the emperor.Not important, he responded with the emperor's tone.

He was also responsible for drafting the edict, the jade seal representing the identity of the Emperor Sui, which was placed on the side of the table.Few people would think that most of the jade seals in the original decree were not printed by the emperor himself.In fact, everyone who is familiar with the court knows whether the will was written by the emperor personally, just look at the seal on the decree.If there are eight seal characters printed on it, "Ordered by Tianji Shouyongchang", then this intention was written by the courtier of Huangmen.If a small seal is printed on it, and there are four small and square characters written by the owner of Dongnuan, it is the imperial edict written by the emperor.

Pei Yan leaned back and leaned back, stretching his arms.Perhaps it was too long to sit every day, his neck became more and more uncomfortable.I feel sore and unbearable every day, and sometimes I feel sick.

After drinking a very sip of tea, Pei Yan crushed a tumult in his stomach.There have been too many things in recent days, and he can't guarantee even three hours of sleep every day.Not only to face the official business like mountains, but also to always think about the emperor's mind, the latter is more tired than the former.

He rested for a moment, and then focused his attention on the zigzag in front of him again.

This setback was passed to Beijing by a county magistrate on Shandong Road.There were quite a few twists. In order to avoid the investigation of the Northwest Anti-Thieves, this twist was first sent to the county magistrate ’s hometown in Dongping County in the form of a family book. Send to Changan.

So when he saw the break, Pei Yan's brows immediately frowned.

Undoubtedly, this is the most important break today.

The zigzag was written on a piece of ordinary parchment, but it used a very secret technique.Only when sprayed with water, the handwriting will be revealed.The Ouchi Guards Office still uses this method to transmit secret reports, and few people can see through it.If it was not the county magistrate's friend who had come to Chang'an in person, he made an explanation when submitting the break, and Pei Yan could not see the hidden text in the parchment.

This is a twist written in small, fly-by-the-face characters.A detailed description of the current situation in Sandao of the Northwest, and even some rebel forces.

And what interested Pei Yan, there is also a past story about Wu Peisheng.

That massacre by Fan Gu.

The county magistrate had a good relationship with one of Li Yuanshan's generals, and the general told him the secret when he drank too much.

It was written in the twists that after Wu Peisheng arrived in the northwest, he secretly investigated whether Li Yuanshan was greedy for his behavior. This was his duty to go to the northwest to inspect various roads.But precisely because Wu Peisheng was a very serious and rigorous character, he actually discovered some things Li Yuanshan was planning to rebelliously.

But what he secretly investigated did not conceal Li Yuanshan, so there was the Fan Gu massacre.Those people, those frontiers, were killed by Li Yuanshan.Then blame the Mengyuan people, so as to cover up the fact that he killed a great eunuch.The purpose of Li Yuanshan is far more than that, this is simply a double-edged strategy.

Not only killed Wu Peisheng, but also aroused the emperor's idea of ​​crusade against the Mongolian Yuan people.Li Yuanshan knew that the emperor had always forgotten Mengyuan, but he had never made up his mind.He understood the pride of the Yang clan and fabricated the fact that Meng Yuan slaughtered Fan Gucheng. The first was to kill Wu Peisheng, and the second was to prompt the emperor to march as soon as possible.

Only the emperor's expedition had a chance to rebel.

And Li Yuanshan, this is not the first time to play such a double-edged trick.

Pei Yan, as one of the most trusted people around the emperor, naturally knew what happened to the loyal prince a decade ago.And that incident was also a lie made by Li Yuanshan.At that time, there was no Meng Yuan master who infiltrated the Da Sui in an attempt to assassinate the emperor, all fabricated by him out of thin air.Then the urgent report was sent to Chang'an. When the emperor sought the advice of the loyal prince, the prince loyal to the west decided to kill the enemy.

Then Li Yuanshan made a secret report to the Mongolian Yuan people, saying that the Sui court had organized a large number of masters from the rivers and lakes to infiltrate Mongolian Yuan to assassinate Dahan Mengge.As a result, the Mengyuan people hurriedly assembled to intercept, but due to some errors in the calculation time, when the people in the rivers and lakes of the Great Sui arrived in Fan Gu, there were not many real masters on the Mengyuan side.Therefore, in the first confrontation, Jiang Huke of the Great Sui killed the people of Meng Yuan cleanly.

But afterwards, the people of Buddhism arrived one after another.The two sides are the real rivals, and the rivers and lakes of the Great Sui have begun to die.

That matter, the biggest winner looks like Prince Yang Yin, but in fact it is Li Yuanshan.He took this opportunity to make the loyal prince disappear, and the Meng Yuan people also trusted him.Over the past ten years, he has secretly been in contact with Meng Yuan people.

Two times before and after with two arrows, Li Yuanshan played very successfully.

For the first time, a large number of people of great strength from the great Sui Dynasty were buried, and the whereabouts of Prince Zhong were unknown.

The second time, he buried the elite 700,000 troops of Sui Dynasty, the Northwest was empty, and no one could stop him from rebelling.

Looking at this setback, I thought about the loyal prince again.Pei Yan couldn't help but sighed for a long time ... Li Yuanshan, you really deserved to be the descendant of Li Xiao, the conspiracy was so vicious.

He shook his head and cleared up his complex emotions.Then he picked up the zigzag and clamped it under his arm, took an oil-paper umbrella and walked out of the inner court door.

There was a drizzle outside half an hour before, and he was pouring.

He stretched out the paper umbrella when he went out, but he was stunned again.

He saw that in the rain, on the open space outside Dongneng Pavilion, there was a boy in a black shirt standing there, standing with his hands down, straight as a javelin.The teenager raised his head slightly and looked at the sky.He didn't seem to care about the raindrops hitting his face at all, uninhibited and indifferent.

When seeing this scene, Pei Yan suddenly thought that he was also in a rain when he first saw Prince Loyal many years ago.At that time, the loyal prince took hundreds of slaves to guard the city gate. The soldiers of the forbidden army rushed up in batches, and then fell down layer by layer.In the rain that day, the loyal prince was also wearing a black shirt, so uninhibited and indifferent, it seemed that the forbidden troops were not seen in the eyes at all.

So similar.
