Clear and Muddy Loss of Love

Chapter 174

involuntarily leave

Gong Yanghuai was terrified, why didn't he think of this level, the warning Qi Yan gave him not long ago flashed through his mind: If the fifth prince is not a good lord, so what should he do?It's better to get out as soon as possible so that you can get out of the body.

Gong Yanghuai raised his eyes and saw that his father seemed to have aged ten years in an instant, and asked in a low voice: "Father, is there any possibility of getting out of the Gong Yang Mansion?"

Gong Yangzhong was silent for a long time, and shook his head: "Zongzheng Si Qing is a typical low-ranking but powerful person, one of the nine ministers, if the winner is not the fifth prince... the new emperor will definitely find a way to take care of us, so that this The position is assigned to one's confidant."

Gong Yanghuai: "Then...how about we retreat bravely?"

Gongyang Zhong sighed: "There are only two sons under my father's knees. Your elder brother is deeply involved in academics and does not care about political affairs. Although you are now a minister of the Ministry of Rites, you should know in your heart that your ability is not enough. If it is not for Master Qi Generosity to help, and the support of adults in Zhongshu Ling - not to belittle you for your father, with your current ability to be a fifth-rank official, it may be almost the same after another three to five years of experience."

Gong Yanghuai lowered his head, feeling unwilling: "Father taught me well."

How could Gongyang Zhong not know that his son was not convinced, but this time he didn't care about Gong Yanghuai's self-esteem, and continued: "It is impossible to get out of the body now, the fifth prince has not lost power, if we act rashly, he will not He will let us go, even if he turns to the third prince for protection, he will be just a family slave of two surnames."

Gong Yanghuai: "Is the only way to sit and wait for death?"

Gong Yangzhong: "For today's plan...the only long-term plan is to consider. Fortunately, the third prince is not here, and there is one less person who made trouble, so maybe I don't think so seriously about my father."

Gong Yanghuai: "Son, let's go into the palace now, and see if we can persuade His Highness Fifth to come back."

Gongyang Zhong: "That's all, let's stop here, let's wait and see what happens. You go back first."

Gong Yanghuai: "Yes."

After Gongyanghuai left, Gongyangzhong leaned back wearily: powerlessness and despair rose in his heart.I am already old, but my two sons can't stand up.To say something outrageous: Isn't the situation in the palace like this?His Majesty has a bold strategy, but his sons are all ineffective, otherwise he would not delay the establishment of a prince.

……

In order to allow Shaoshang's younger brother to be buried in the Imperial Mausoleum, Nan Gongda knelt at the gate of Ganquan Palace for a day and a night, which caused the morning court to stop the next day.

Sijiu personally came to pass the decree, saying: My youngest son died early, and the grief is unbearable, so let's stop for a day.

That afternoon, after Nangongda passed out, the closed gate of Ganquan Palace was finally opened. Sijiu commanded several servants to send Nangongda back to the mansion, and then issued a second imperial decree: the fifth prince, Nangongda, is not effective in supervising the country. During his period of supervising the country, he neglected to observe, causing the prince to die early, and ordered him to contemplate behind closed doors in the mansion for a month, and transcribed scriptures for the salvation of the nine princes.

In addition, the nine princes were granted the title of King Jing, and they were buried on Jingshan Mountain in Gyeonggi.The birth mother of the nine princes of Jin Dynasty, Zhang, was Concubine Jing. Because King Jing was childless and worried about her soul, she ordered the Ministry of Industry to build a temple next to the tomb of King Jing. .

Although it looked like an imperial decree from the Jin Dynasty, it actually sent Concubine Jing out of the palace.

No wonder, King Jing is Concubine Jing's only son, and Concubine Jing has nothing to rely on in the palace since King Jing is young. Most of those concubines and empresses who have no heirs have to go to the imperial tomb to guard the tomb.

And those with lower status may be buried in accordance with the late emperor's will. Nangong Jingnv felt sorry for her younger brother, so she gave Concubine Jing the best arrangement.

Concubine Jing received the imperial decree without the slightest objection, kneeled three times and kowtowed nine times outside Ganquan Palace to thank her, and left Beijing together with the coffin.

After Nangongda was grounded, Nangong Jingnv found a reason to quickly promote Qi Yan to Zhongshu Youpushe, whose rank was still higher than Zuopushe Lu Boyan, and the third and fifth princes were absent. No one disagreed.

So far, Qi Yan is firmly seated at the second place in the ranks of civil servants, only one Zhongshu Ling is separated from the number of people below one person and above ten thousand people.

In her spare time, Nangong Jingnv would also feel sad: as Qi Yan expected, she became the most direct beneficiary of King Jing's death.

Immediately afterwards, Nangong Jingnv issued an order in the tone of Nangong Rang, saying that she was unwell, but the government could not stop for a day, and ordered Zhongshu to order Xing Jingfu, the prime minister, and the two servants on the left and right to shoot and assist the government.

Nangong Jingnv was drunk because she didn't care about drinking: she went around in circles just to push Qi Yan up.

Jingjia's 15th year, May.

The palace test is about to begin, and this time the palace test will be presided over by Nan Gongrang himself.

Nangong Jingnu and Qi Yan revealed: Nangong Rang has been raised for a long time for this palace examination, and asked the imperial doctor to perform acupuncture for him every day to ensure that he will not get sick on the day of the palace examination.

Xiaodie has been staying at Princess Zhuohua's mansion for some time, but Qi Yan has never mentioned bringing her back.

The death of King Jing plunged Qi Yan into a new round of worries: the masked man who had been silent for many years was by his side.

The other party can kill the prince from thousands of miles away without using a single soldier; he can also kidnap Xiaodie without anyone noticing.

Xiaodie must not have another accident. It might be a better choice to put her in the heavily guarded Princess Mansion.Even though Qi Yan knew that the relationship between the two would inevitably deepen as time went by, but she couldn't take care of that much anymore.

Two days before the palace examination, Nangong Jingnv received a red-sealed eight hundred li urgent report from Luobei.

Nangong Jingnv opened the bamboo tube with anxiety, and breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the contents inside. She thought something happened to Luobei, but it turned out that the third prince Nangong had been dissatisfied with the environment since he saw Luobei, I was shocked to hear that my younger brother died early and fell ill.The Jiedu envoy of Kitakyushu issued an order to ask the imperial court to send someone to take the third prince back to the capital.

After going down to court, Qi Yan found Qi Yan and handed her the urgent report: "Look."

Qi Yan looked at the words on the silk newspaper, and his eyes sank: The signal from the masked man summoning him to go to Luobei came!

Signed: Nagus Anukin.

This made Qi Yan extremely heavy: Was it the masked man who caught the news first and used this to lead him to Luobei?Or has the masked man conspired with Anukin?

Nangong Jingnu: "What do you think?"

Qi Yan suppressed the emotions in her heart, and said in a deep thought: "Your Highness will soon control the court situation, but it will take some time."

Nangong Jingnu: "You mean...won't you pick up third brother?"

Qi Yan: "Since it's an urgent report from [-] miles away, someone must pick it up, but you can find a way to delay it for a while on the road and find a suitable time to come back."

Nangong Jingnv frowned slightly, and said in embarrassment: "Then who will be sent?"

Qi Yan: "... why don't you let the minister personally go through it for His Highness."

Nangong Jingnu rejected Qi Yan's proposal without even thinking about it: "No, I entrusted you to this position with great difficulty, and the palace examination will be in two days, and this year's students will be appointed officials soon...you can't leave. "

Qi Yan was silent for a moment, looked at Nangong Jingnu and asked in a low voice: "But apart from the minister, is there anyone else His Highness can trust?"

Nangong Jing was speechless, and murmured: "You can send Chen Chuansi..."

Qi Yan: "Your Highness, the Third Highness is a prince, isn't it strange that 'Your Majesty' sent a servant by your side to pick him up? And there is also Concubine Yagui who came back together."

Nangong Jingnu: "But..."

Qi Yan took a step forward, standing next to Nangong Jingnv, holding her catkin and said softly: "I know His Highness is worried, and I will write a list to His Highness later, and list some talents who are worthy of promotion, as well as them. I have explained my character clearly, it should be enough for the palace test."

Nangong Jingnv lowered her head, looked at the hands held by the two, and replied in a low voice: "Luobei is a long way away, I can't bear you to go."

As if an invisible hand was holding Qi Yan's heart, there was a hint of sadness in the amber eyes: "I will take care of myself, Your Highness, don't worry."

……

Fengtian Chengyun Emperor issued an imperial edict saying: Concubine Yagui has been visiting her relatives for a long time, so she appointed Zhongshu Youservant She Qiyan as the imperial envoy, and went to Luobei to welcome Concubine Yagui back to the palace in person, and set off in two days, hereby.

There are still two days left, Qi Yan's heart is in a mess, she feels like she has a lot of things to do, she shuts herself in the study, and sits behind the desk to straighten out her thoughts one by one.

Xiaodie is placed in Princess Zhuohua's mansion, so she can rest assured that she won't visit her for now.

The fifth prince's grounding is the best time to win the Gongyang Mansion to defect, and this matter must be done.

After a while, it will be another year's farmland harvest season, and Qian Yuan and Gu Feng should make arrangements again.

The student recommendation of the gold list should be written, and...

Thinking of this, Qi Yan felt a little uneasy.

And... the safety of Nangong Jingnv.Nangong Jingnv didn't know the existence of the masked man, and if she wasn't by her side, would she be in danger?

Qi Yan was a little distracted, one hand was pressed on the rice paper, and the other hand was holding a paper knife to cut the paper mechanically.

"Tsk...!" The left thumb was cut by a paper knife, and blood burst out all at once, and the rice paper underneath was useless.

A sense of irritability arose in Qi Yan's heart, and he simply cut off a strip of cloth from the hem of his skirt, wrapped his fingers indiscriminately, cut out a few pieces of paper and wrote quickly.

Qi Yan stayed up all night, and wrote down all the students who entered the palace examination and visited her one by one, writing and stopping, reviewing bit by bit, it is good to put some details, and at the end, I will attach the employment opinions .

At dawn, I went to the morning court again, and when I came back, I had a hasty lunch and locked myself in the study again.

Qi Yan ordered Qian Tong to make a cup of strong tea. After drinking it, he regained his energy and wrote two letters.

One was written to Nangong Shunv, and the other was written to Nangong Jingnv.

Nangong Shunv's letter was written soon, Qi Yan handed it to Qian Tong, ordering him to hand it over to Nangong Shunu himself.

Qi Yan wrote the second letter for half a day, and the waste paper was piled up all over the floor, and it was finally finished.

Putting down the pen, Qi Yan rubbed her waist, brought a water basin and threw all the waste paper balls into the basin, watching the clear water become turbid.

Qi Yan was so tired that she simply sat on the ground. After an unknown period of time, she slowly got up while supporting the desk, looked at the letter on the desk that was full of three sheets of paper, and remained silent for a long time.

A sigh sounded in the study, Qi Yan picked up the letter and read it again, and finally threw the letter, which had been written so many times, into the dark water.
