Chapter 117

"Why is Daddy so worried?" Zeng Qing went into Prime Minister Zeng's study and put the brewed tea by Prime Minister Zeng's hand.

At this time, Prime Minister Zeng was concentrating his eyebrows and making the last stroke. Zeng Qing picked up the rice paper that Prime Minister Zeng had written, saw the word 'forbearance' on it, and said, "But something happened in the court."

Zeng Pu took a sip of tea, "It's not that old man Feng Liang. A few days ago, he proposed to the emperor to change the minister of Dali Temple. This morning, he recruited all the officials to participate in the command of the imperial army. Although the emperor has not yet made a decision on this matter." , but its purpose couldn't be more obvious. After all, the emperor is young and easily deceived by others. If he trusts the Feng family father and son so much, I am afraid that if this continues, the imperial power will soon be emptied by these two. I am afraid that the father and son The wolves are ambitious, and when the time comes, there will be their people inside and outside the capital..." Zeng Pu said worriedly, "I'm afraid the country will be in trouble. Forget it, forget it, you may not be able to listen to the affairs of the court."

Zeng Qing said, "It seems that Daddy has to do something now. If the Fengs and his sons are really ambitious, they will be the first to deal with you, Daddy, if they are really ambitious and will jump over the wall to launch a coup in the future. At that time, Daddy, you will have no generals on your side." Support, not to mention that the chances of winning are not high, it may be that there is no chance of winning at all.”

Zeng Pu sighed, "That's right, the most urgent thing now is to have military power and control the generals in Feng Liang's hands. But most of the generals in the court were bought by Feng Liang, I'm afraid Dad will really lose to them this time." Zeng Pu laughed at himself. "Could it be that he really wants Elder Gao to return to the field, just like his former mentor..."

Zeng Qing said, "Father, there is actually another person who can help you."

"Who?"

"King Heng!"

Zeng Pu looked at Zeng Qing questioningly, "Heng Wang?"

"Yes. Now King Heng can be regarded as the prince with the most troops in the court, and he is quite prestigious. If Dad can fight against the Feng family and his son together with King Heng, wouldn't it be a great chance of winning."

Zeng Pu smiled and said, "Things in the court are not as simple as you think. King Heng has always been a loner, so how could he easily participate in the factional disputes in the court. It is also because of this that the emperor trusts King Heng very much. Dare to hand over the power of soldiers and horses to his uncle. This is why Feng Liang knows that King Heng is his greatest threat, but he dare not mention anything about King Heng in front of the emperor."

Zeng Qing said, "Feng Liang is now forming a party in the court for personal gain, wooing civil servants and military generals. He is afraid that it will endanger the country and the country. How can King Heng ignore it. Father will naturally believe what I say after reading this." Wan handed the folding fan to Zeng Pu.

"This... this is not King Heng's folding fan!"

Zeng Qing told Zeng Pu the whole story, and Zeng Pu returned the gold-encrusted folding fan to Zeng Qing, "Helping father win King Heng to eradicate dissidents is a lie, and protecting the country and society is also an excuse, after all, it's not for Liumu. I heard that Liu Mu's body has been found, why are you still thinking about him. I really should invite the national teacher to do a ritual to see if you have been deceived by that kid."

Zeng Qing smiled and said, "No matter what the purpose is, as long as you can get rid of the power of the Feng family, you can kill three birds with one stone. Dad has no opponent, the emperor's country is stable, and my daughter can settle her worries."

At night, Liu Mu sneaked into Zeng's mansion, "Heng Wang, who has always been a loner, was persuaded by you. It seems that I really underestimated you, little girl. If Heng Wang helps, there must be a great chance of success in this matter."

Zeng Qing smiled and said, "You have settled this matter, you can think about how to thank me."

Liu Mu said, "It depends on what kind of reward Miss Zeng wants."

"Kiss me." Zeng Qing took a step forward and approached Liu Mu.

"Ah..." Liu Mu suddenly seemed a little embarrassed, "I... Zeng Qing, since something happened to Liu's family, you have done a lot for me, I am very grateful to you, but..."

Zeng Qing smiled, stepped back, interrupted the other party, and said jokingly, "Who cares about being thanked by you. It's just a joke. Seeing how scared you are, you look like a big girl who hasn't left the court. Miss, I don't care about it." You are a person who has been married. I only hope that you will take revenge as soon as possible, so that you don’t have to be a fugitive who murdered and escaped from prison, so that you don’t have to wear a mask all day long. I feel stuffy and breathless when I look at your mask. You have revenge. Also go back earlier to reunite with your first wife." The tone of the latter sentence sounded a little weird.

Liu Mu smiled awkwardly, and said, "What I owe you, I may not be able to repay it in this life. If something happens to me in the future, I will have to pay you back in my next life."

"Okay, okay, don't say these polite words of gratitude, they are more sour than the love words of the young couple." Zeng Qing said, "Senior Sister Yu is from the same school as me, so I have no reason to sit idly by. I did this for Help her. There is also Miss Ziyan, who took half of your life for you, who is still a living dead, and Sister Xiangyun, who has always stayed in Jinling to take care of Ziyan for you, and waits for you to go back to reunite. With so many people, which one can you Bear with disappointment. Therefore, you must go back alive to meet them."

"Which one can I bear to disappoint..." Liu Mu thought to himself, "For you, I have failed you." '

Zeng Qing saw Liu Mu thoughtful, so he pushed his arm, "What should I do next?"

Liu Mu said, "There is one more thing, I don't know if it will work, and I need Prime Minister Zeng's help."

Zeng Qing said, "If the method works, I will definitely be able to persuade my father to help." Then he said, "Shouldn't it be time for you to go to your Miss Feng again?"

Liu Mu nodded, and Zeng Qing said, "If you dare to make a fake show with Feng Linling, I will goug out your eyes for Miss Ziyan!"

At dawn the next day, Zeng Qing left the capital on horseback and headed outside the pass.

"Miss is so pious that she comes to pay respects on every first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, but it doesn't seem that Miss's wish will come true."

"Xiaoju, don't talk nonsense in front of the Bodhisattva."

Xiaoju was also surprised, since she returned to the capital, Feng Linling came to the temple to offer incense on the first and fifteenth day of every lunar new year.Sui never revealed what he was asking for, but Xiaoju could guess it out of ten.

"Young Master heard that Miss misses Jindingzhai's tea, so he specially asked someone to bring back a lot of tea from Hangzhou." Before Feng Linling could answer, Xiaoju said, "However, this servant feels that what Miss misses may not be Jindingzhai's tea, I'm afraid it's the tea from Jindingzhai. It's just someone I met in Jindingzhai." Xiaoju said self-consciously, "Miss, don't blame Xiaoju for being talkative, there is no such kind of young man in the capital, but you just like that weird guy whose whole face can't be seen clearly. "

Just as Feng Linling was about to speak, she suddenly heard a person behind her say, "I know that I have killed others before, and the crime is serious. I am willing to go to hell to be punished after death. But I hope that the Bodhisattva will show mercy so that I can spend the rest of my life with my sweetheart."

Feng Linling heard the voice familiar, and hurriedly turned around, only to see a man kneeling on the futon behind him making a wish.When the man got up and turned around, he saw a masked face.

"Lin Ling." Liu Mu blurted out.

Feng Linling was both surprised and delighted, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Seeing this, Liu Mu hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to the Bodhisattva a few times.

When Liu Mu stood up again, Feng Linling smiled and said, "What are you doing?"

Liu Mu said, "The Bodhisattva agreed to my prayer, and of course I should be grateful."

"What are you praying for?" Feng Linling naturally heard what Liu Mu said before kneeling on the futon, and now asking this question, she just wanted to hear the other party say it again.

Liu Mu said to Xiaoju, "May I have a few words with your young lady alone."

Xiaoju looked at Feng Linling, Feng Linling said, "You and the coachman go back home first, and I will go back by myself later."

"Miss..." Xiao Ju looked at Liu Mu distrustfully.

Liu Mu smiled and said, "Why, I'm afraid I won't be able to kidnap your young lady."

Xiaoju snorted, "I'm not afraid. With the strength of my master and young master in court, I'm afraid you don't have the guts." After speaking, she gave Liu Mu a hard look, and then left.

The two walked for a while, and Liu Mu said, "I went back to Hangzhou before, but you and Mr. Feng have already left. I heard from the local people that you have returned to the capital, so I rushed here. I don't want to meet you here."

"You came to find me?"

"Yes." Liu Mu nodded, "Lin Ling, I have something to tell you."

Feng Linling didn't answer, but waited quietly for Liu Mu to continue. Liu Mu said, "I grew up in the grasslands since I was a child. After I came to the Central Plains, I also lived a wandering life. I was used to being free. Bound me. But since I met you... At first I didn't sort out my thoughts until I left Hangzhou. The farther I went, the more difficult it was to hide my miss for you. Linling, follow me back to the grassland. I I know it's a bit abrupt, but if I can't marry you, I'm afraid I'll regret it for the rest of my life."

Feng Linling bit her lip, turned around and stopped looking at Liu Mu, and unconsciously touched her slightly hot face, never thought that Yin Tianchou, who had always been reticent before, could say such a thing.

After saying this, even Liu Mu himself had goose bumps all over the floor.

"Linling, can you...can you marry me?"

Feng Linling adjusted her emotions, turned around, and said with a calm expression, "The marriage affairs of our Central Plains people have always been ordered by our parents and the matchmaker's words. If I agree or not, my father must agree to it."

When Liu Mu sent Feng Linling back to Feng Mansion, there was a carriage parked outside the gate of the mansion, and the owner of the carriage was the current imperial teacher.

At this time, the national teacher was in Feng Liang's study. "The emperor had an ominous dream for several days in a row. He dreamed that the rebels broke through the capital and entered the palace. After waking up, the emperor vaguely remembered that he was in a panic in the dream. Rebellion. The emperor regards this nightmare as a revelation from the heavens. So I asked me to review the horoscopes of the ministers in the court one by one to see if anyone is not good for the country."

"Oh? Is there really a nightmare foreshadowing this?" Feng Liang asked, "Then what did the national teacher find out?"

The national teacher took out a piece of red paper from his sleeve and said, "Master Feng can recognize the birth date on this paper."

"Isn't this the horoscope of Quanzi Langqu's birthday?" Feng Liang vaguely felt that something was wrong, "National teacher, could it be..."

The national teacher stroked his goatee and said, "Excuse me, my father and son's horoscope... is against the emperor! And it will damage our country's fortune. If I tell the emperor about this, the whole family of Feng lord will be executed. I If you don't say it, it is a crime of deceiving the king."

"The words of the national teacher are too alarmist. Our Feng family has been officials for generations, loyal to the emperor, and loyal to the emperor. When did we do anything that endangered the country and the country. What's more, Langqu read with the emperor since childhood, and said something disrespectful. The dog and the emperor are brothers and sisters, how could Langqu do something that would endanger the emperor." At this time, Feng Liang did not fully believe the words of the national teacher, after all, the matter was too sudden, and he did not know what the national teacher's intention was.But the hexagrams of the national teacher have always been very effective. For many years, many things that have been calculated have indeed come true.

The national teacher said, "Master Feng still remembers the last time the late emperor went to the south of the Yangtze River. At that time, the Jinling palace was built by the son. This incident caused a lot of deaths, and it was also related to a major corruption case. Later, because the emperor who was the prince at that time was involved The first emperor issued a secret decree not to pursue this case. If the first emperor knew that time was running out, he was afraid that other princes and princes would take the opportunity to make trouble, and the emperor would have been abolished by then. Last year, the son was transferred to Hangzhou to be in charge of repairing the canal. As soon as the son arrived in Hangzhou, the dam collapsed, the fertile fields were flooded, the people were displaced, and the money and food issued by the court were robbed by bandits on the way. The people were dissatisfied with the court, and violence and chaos broke out , if King Heng hadn't arrived in time to resolve this matter, I'm afraid someone will use this matter to endanger the country again."

"I would like to ask the national teacher, is there a way to resolve this matter?"

"I'm afraid the old man is powerless."

Feng Liang pressed the piece of paper with Feng Langqu's birth date written on it under his palm, "My lord, can this matter be suppressed?" After speaking, he immediately turned around and took a sandalwood box, which was full of Valuable items, and a stack of banknotes, "I hope the master will help me."

The national teacher said, "The matter is not as simple as Lord Feng thinks. The son is the emperor's order. If he does not die, he will definitely endanger the emperor and the country. The old man is just a Taoist priest. What is the use of this money?"

"What does the national teacher mean, that the child must be killed?" Feng Liang's words had murderous intent, if the national teacher insisted on this, then he would not be allowed to leave this study.

The national teacher said, "Master Feng, don't be impatient, just listen to the poor Taoist. If the poor Taoist really wanted to harm the son, he would not risk the crime of beheading and deceiving the emperor to tell Master Feng about it today. The so-called God If you don't take it, you will be blamed. Even if the old man informs the emperor, I'm afraid he won't be able to turn things around. If God wants your son to be the emperor, then even if the emperor kills everyone in the Feng family, your son will slip through the net. In the future, he will definitely be able to come back from the mountain and raise his troops to enter the capital. How can your son let go of Pindao at that time, so there is no need for Pindao to dig his own grave now. Pindao can keep his mouth shut about this matter, but I want Mr. Feng to promise me one thing thing."

"Master, please speak."

"In the future, when your Feng family is firmly established in the country, you will make me a national teacher and a supreme Taoist. And I will build the world's largest Taoist temple in the capital, and the emperor will personally inscribe a plaque and seal it as a royal Taoist temple. After death, the golden body will be enshrined in the Taoist temple, and you will enjoy the incense for all ages."

"Father!" Feng Linling didn't knock on the door, but directly pushed the door in, interrupting their conversation.

The national teacher stood up and said, "This must be the daughter of your family."

Feng Liang said, "Linling, I'll see the national teacher soon."

Feng Linling nodded, "I've seen the national teacher. I didn't know there was a distinguished guest visiting the house just now, so I was a bit abrupt, and I hope the national teacher will not be offended. I have long heard that the national teacher's hexagrams are always very effective, and I was able to meet today. "

Feng Liang hurriedly said, "So, how about asking the national teacher to make a divination for the little girl?"

The national teacher said, "To see Miss Feng today is also the fate of you and me, so I will have a fortune with you."

Feng Liang wrote Feng Linling's birth date on the paper, and the national teacher took out the bamboo tube and copper plate.Asked, "I don't know what Master Feng wants to do for Ling Qianjin?"

Feng Linling took a step forward and said, "The national teacher is very clever, how can he not know what Linling wants to ask."

The national teacher smiled and said, "The poor man will have the guts to guess." After speaking, he shook the bamboo tube in his hand.

The national teacher spread the copper plates in the bamboo tube on the table, and looked at Feng Linling's birth date.She shook her head in her heart, but still said with a smile, "Miss Feng's destined person is from the north and was born in June. This person has incomplete parents. People. Presumably Miss Feng's predestined relationship should have appeared."
