Don't be clouded

Chapter 76

The early dynasty has always been boring for Emperor Yuanhui, but these few days have been particularly monotonous, except for the matter of Yushitai and the matter of Yushitai.He has been numb to hearing the countless charges brought up every day.

It was the same today, Emperor Yuan Hui sat on the dragon chair, bored listening, and occasionally responded with a sentence or two.

He looked down at the civil and military officials below, although they all bent down respectfully and bowed their heads, he could still see different emotions from those heads.

Some people don't want to get involved in the muddy water, but they will occasionally raise their eyes secretly.There are also those who have interests with Yushitai, but they are a little stiff, and they can't help showing a kind of fear all over their bodies, and they dare not move no matter what.The rest are some officials who are responsible for thoroughly investigating Yushitai. Emperor Yuan Hui read a few words from their official hats-satisfied.

However, Fang Sui is worthy of being the prime minister of the two dynasties, he has already secured his victory and still looks extremely indifferent.

Wait until everyone has finished playing before standing up and let him consider Duan Wenfu's request from yesterday.The Yushitai was rotten from top to bottom. Duan Wenfu, as the head of the Yushitai, although he did not directly participate in it, he also had an unshirkable responsibility and should step down.

Duan Wenfu didn't go to the morning court today, so naturally there was no one who came out to refute it.

As the king of a country, Emperor Yuan Hui should stand on the side of justice, but he didn't want to agree to Fang Sui, so he had to delay.

Although the Yushitai case has been investigated almost, it is still in the final stage, and Emperor Yuanhui can delay it for as long as it can.He intends to wait until the last moment to issue an imperial decree. Dismissal is impossible, a one-year salary fine, and a one-month confinement in the house are almost enough.

Facing his fooling, Fang Sui didn't argue with reason, as if he didn't want to waste his words.

Emperor Yuan Hui seized the opportunity to leave the court and returned to Wenying Hall.

At this time, the genius had just dawned, but he had already piled up a lot of memorials on his case.These have been roughly classified in advance, and the highest pile is related to the Yushitai case.

He endured a full stomach of impatience and sat down in front of the case to start reviewing. The first few books were all normal, but some local officials submitted memorials to prove their innocence. .He glanced at it roughly, and only approved a few numbers, then threw it aside and asked the servant to clean it up.

When he picked up the next book, Emperor Yuan Hui, who was originally absent-minded, accidentally caught a glimpse of the name on the envelope, and his movements suddenly slowed down.

"Ji Yao?"

How dare this person write a memorial for him?

Emperor Yuan Hui managed to forget the culprit, but he didn't expect that the other party jumped up to him.During this period of time, all his troubles were provoked by this person. After Ji Yao returned to Beijing, he took the initiative to submit a joint complaint. He thought it was a show of loyalty and a compromise, but he did not expect that the other party lied to him.

Ji Yao played the role of the current emperor and provoked another disturbance, but later claimed that he was ill, hid in the mansion and pretended to be dead, and left the mess to others.

It seems that I am not dying of illness, can I still write memorials?

Turning over the memorial, he roughly glanced at it twice, and his already bad mood was poured with a bucket of oil, which was only a short distance from igniting a raging fire.

Wenying Hall was quiet for a long time.

Wu Nei, who had served the emperor for many years, was sweating coldly on his forehead. He had already sensed that a storm was coming.Holding her breath and not daring to look up, she secretly winked at the young palace people on the side, telling everyone to get ready.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the memorial to be thrown to the ground by Emperor Yuan Hui.

This movement was much smaller than the smashing of things in the past, but Wu's servant knew it was not over, so he counted silently, and the emperor said: "Pick it up for me."

He hurriedly followed suit, picked up the crumpled memorial with a low eyebrow, and held it in front of the emperor with both hands.

With a light hand, Emperor Yuan Hui picked up the memorial, but then there was the sound of paper being torn.

The memorial handed over by General Ji was torn into pieces by Emperor Yuan Hui himself.

Then it was randomly thrown to the ground.

"Where is General Zhen Guo now?" The emperor spoke with a gloomy tone.

Wu Neishi immediately replied: "Your Majesty, General Zhen Guo should be in Xiangzhou Shiyi now. After His Majesty ordered a thorough investigation of Yushitai that day, the general went there to escape the summer heat, and there is no news that he has returned to Beijing." news."

Emperor Yuan Hui sneered, "He won't really watch Duan Wenfu fall, but he entrusted the matter of offending the world to my hands, and wants me to go against the will of the people and rescue Duan Wenfu."

No one in the hall dared to speak.

The emperor pondered for a moment before he said coldly: "Not only that, he also wants to subdue me."

Wu Neishi had no choice but to bury his head even lower.

In the whole world, who would dare to subdue the emperor himself?General Zhen Guo is also a genius, not only has the courage, but also can really make Emperor Yuanhui have to soften his attitude.

After another long silence, Emperor Yuanhui ordered: "Prepare the decree, and when the case of Yushitai is settled, you will be granted the title of Grand General Wan Liangao of the Zhen Kingdom as Duke Xiangguo of the first rank and concurrently as the Taiwei."

As soon as these words came out, even Wu Neishi was so shocked that he forgot to answer for a moment.

"Why," Emperor Yuan Hui looked over, "do you think I'm too generous, or too cowardly?"

Wu Neishi hurriedly knelt down on the ground, leading all the palace people in the room to kneel down.

"Don't dare, Your Majesty is more thoughtful than the courtiers can do. The courtiers are in a trance for a while, please punish him."

Emperor Yuan Hui looked down at the palace servants who were kneeling on the ground, but there was no disturbance in his heart.

He had misjudged Ji Yao before, thinking that he was a young man he could easily tame, and that he would become his right-hand man in the future, replacing Wan Liangao in his use.

However, the vigor and arrogance that he deliberately ignored are the things that really take root in Ji Yao's bones.He failed to tame the opponent, and he may not have the opportunity to train the opponent into a falcon dog in the future.

Originally, he sent Ji Yao to Chongzhou in order to find a handle on Yushitai, so as to hold Wan Liangao hostage.But this handle is useless, the darkness of Yushitai is completely exposed to the sky, and it is no longer possible to use it as a threat.

So now it seems that he can't really give up on Wan Liangao, and can only wait until the next seedling who can fight against him appears.

Emperor Yuan Hui also knew the truth of raising tigers to cause trouble, but he had to coax the vicious tiger first, and calm down the other party's temper in order to barely maintain the stability of the current situation.If he becomes estranged from Wan Liangao, Fang Sui, that old fox lurking in the dark, will be the first to be proud, and his unsecured throne will be threatened.

Whether it is conferment or promotion, one day he will let the person with great achievements return all the favors.

Emperor Yuan Hui's eyes fell on the debris on the ground, and his resentment shifted from Wan Liangao to Ji Yao.

But at this moment, he could only hold back his anger for the time being.

"The crimes of the governor of Chongzhou have also been exposed, and the Yushitai has also collapsed. This kid is still not giving up. What exactly does he want to do?"

After Ji Bieyun hurriedly handed the memorial to Xu Yang in the morning, he hid in the room again.

He didn't hope that Emperor Yuanhui would agree this time, so he made preparations, and passed it up several times with a stern face, until the trouble was known to the whole court, and Emperor Yuanhui had to agree.

So he stayed in his room most of the morning, planning to write two more copies from memory.

However, what happened last night was in his mind for a while, and the Xuexiao Lake in Xuanqing Temple was in his mind for a while, his heart was in a mess.

The note on the side was also sinful, tempting him to distract himself from time to time, turning his head to look, and when he came back to his senses, he was already staring at Guan Chen's handwriting with a smirk.

An hour passed, and he only finished two copies, and there were three memorials with many mistakes and had to be discarded beside them.

Ji Bieyun reflected on himself for a moment, then simply dropped his pen and walked out of the yard.

The atmosphere in Ji's residence was different from the past, it was extremely quiet.No one mentioned what happened last night, but when they happened to pass by, everyone looked at him with vague eyes, as if trying to find some gossip from him.Even Xu Yang seemed hesitant to speak.

He really wanted to tell everyone in Ji's residence that he and Guanchen were innocent, and nothing happened last night.But when he thought about how he was carried back to the room by the monk last night, he felt that this explanation was weak.

What's more, he couldn't open his mouth, because this kind of thing would only become more complicated as he explained it.

However, because of Guanchen's reputation, Ji Bieyun overcame the embarrassment and dragged Xu Yang into a corner.

He cleared his throat, and didn't dare to look at the other person's face, so he just said in a low voice, "Don't talk about what happened yesterday."

Xu Yang also coughed twice, "Don't say it, don't say it, we all know how to measure, what happened in the mansion will never be spread."

Although the other party agreed, Ji Bieyun still felt something was wrong when he heard this, as if something indecent had really happened between him and Guanchen.

"...Aren't monks always warm-hearted and helpful? Master Guanchen saw me drunk and drunk, so it's normal for him to help take me back to the house, right?" He looked up expectantly, eager to seek recognized.

Xu Yang didn't speak for a while, and gradually showed a disapproving expression.

"There is no 300 taels of silver here." Xu Yang said, "It's not a day or two before you think that other people are beautiful, and I have caught them before. It must be because you became lustful after you were drunk and pestered the master. Reluctant to do that kind of outrageous thing.”

"It's not... what kind of lust! I really didn't treat him lightly! Don't act like I ruined a pure and clean monk. I was drunk at that time, so what can I know!" Ji Bieyun felt that it was outrageous. , suddenly became angry from embarrassment.

In heaven, he did not look down on others lightly, on the contrary, the monk violated the rules for him.You can't push all the blame on Guan Chen just because he looks decent, right?He was still wondering, why did the monk do such a thing? Isn't this self-defeating?

Xu Yang stared at him for a while, then suddenly said: "It seems to make sense."

Just when Ji Bieyun thought that this person finally believed what he said, he heard the other party add: "Yesterday was the day when Master Guanchen took over, and he was supposed to stay in Xuanqing Temple all day, but that night Master came down to Ji's residence. ,Do you know why?"

He was taken aback by the question, remembering Guan Chen's promise, could it be that the monk knew that Duan Wenfu had escaped the crime, so he came to Ji Zhai to help him?

After all, Guan Chen knows his character like the palm of his hand, whether he is going crazy or not, and when he is going crazy, this person knows exactly what.

Ji Bieyun tentatively replied: "Did Guanchen know about Duan Wenfu..."

"Probably not," Xu Yang guessed what he wanted to say, and interrupted directly, "The master didn't know the news until he came to Ji's residence, and he came out to ask us for details after you fell asleep."

"Ah?" He was also confused, and couldn't think of an answer after thinking for a while.Guan Chen is not a child anymore, so it is impossible to come to play with him.

Ji Bieyun became impatient with his thoughts, and replied casually: "The legs grow on him, so I can control where he likes to go?"

As soon as the words fell, Qingshuang's voice came from a distance, calling "Master" again and again, seeming quite eager.

He hurried out from the corner, called Qingshuang to stop, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Qingshuang, who was two or three years younger than him, was originally calm and reliable, but now she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and said with a sad face: "Some prince from the Hou Ye family suddenly came outside the door and said he wanted to see you You, I asked him if he had a post about what to do, but he didn't, he just said that he came to discuss marriage with you!"

It's a hot day, but Ji Bieyun is like a cold winter.

He came back to his senses after a while, patted Xu Yang's arm, turned around and ran, and hurriedly said: "Brother Xu left it to you, just say I'm not at the house!"

Xu Yang was no better than him, and after realizing it, he hurriedly shouted: "Where are you going!"

Ji Bieyun, who was running straight towards the side door, suddenly stopped, changed direction and ran towards the stable, "Just say that I went to Xuanqing Temple to worship Buddha and practice Zen!"
