As the daylight fades and the dusk falls, a gust of east wind suddenly blows, and the green wickers on the roadside dance gracefully with the wind.
Considering Yu Fengjin's health, Ruan Lang specially drove a carriage here, which surprised Yu Fengjin and made him a little more fond of him - after all, everyone has always fawned over Yu Shou Si, but he has never seen Yu Shou Si fawn over before.
who.
Ruan Lang held the door open to let Yu Fengjin board the carriage. As soon as he got on the carriage, he heard the sound of rapid horse hooves blowing through the street like a strong wind. A deep and rough voice immediately hurt his eardrums:
"Xiaolu, wait for me!"
Yu Fengjin was shocked: Xiaolu? Could it be...the leader of the Lu Gang?
He quickly raised the curtains and looked out, only to see a girl in red riding a white horse, carrying a faint scent of wind, galloping past him in a heroic manner.
Although he only had a quick glance, her elegant and handsome appearance and chic and elegant grace made his eyes light up. He couldn't help but smile and sighed: "It is rare to see such a chic and beautiful woman in the capital!"
Hearing Yu Fengjin's words, Ruan Lang, who was riding side by side with the carriage, immediately urged his horse to come over and asked respectfully:
"Your Highness King Yi, what are your orders?"
Yu Fengjin smiled lightly and shook his head, and said faintly: "It's nothing. However, this journey has been a bit boring. How about you chat with me?"
Ruan Lang was slightly startled. He didn't know what he meant and didn't dare to violate it. He had to raise his hands and asked, "Yes! It's a humble honor to be able to talk to His Highness to relieve his boredom! I wonder what His Highness wants to say?"
Yu Fengjin turned her head and looked at him, and suddenly said: "Why don't you... just tell me about you!"
Ruan Lang was startled again, and couldn't help but feel suspicious in his heart. He didn't know whether Yu Fengjin was deliberately testing him, or if he was really trying to kill time, so he didn't dare to answer.
"How did you get into the Royal Guards Department?" Yu Fengjin started the topic seemingly casually.
Ruan Lang cupped his hands and replied respectfully: "Your Highness, because the Imperial Guards Division has always been strict in its examinations, I passed the martial arts exam when I was twenty years old, but I had to wait eight years before being recruited."
A strange smile appeared on Yu Fengjin's face, and she said meaningfully: "Well, you are still very lucky. You have only waited eight years for such a good job. Some people can't wait until they die.
To a ninth-grade Sesame Officer. However, it is rare for a system like Yushousi, which has always relied on nepotism to enter, to recruit an outsider for no reason!" After saying that, he glanced at Ruan Lang with a half-smile.
Ruan Lang's eyes flashed, and a look of shame suddenly appeared on his face. He quickly lowered his eyes and cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness is wise! I hold this position because I am from the same hometown as Commander Wang, and I was able to enter the Royal Guards Department after his recommendation! But Commander Wang also gave orders.
I have to keep this secret, so I have to hide it from you because of my humble position. I hope Your Highness will forgive me!"
Yu Fengjin smiled lightly and said nothing, but she was thinking secretly in her heart: Ruan Lang is a newcomer who has just entered the officialdom, and he doesn't have much thought yet. It is estimated that Wang Jing favored him because of his simplicity, so that he could help the Wang family and his son.
He operates in secret in court and does evil things.
This is the brilliance of Wang Su and his son - for so many years, the father and son have covered the sky with their hands and acted wantonly, but no one has been able to do anything to them. That's because they will lure many capable people with promises of huge profits.
Come to join them and act as their thugs and eyeliners.
Therefore, they will never get their hands dirty, and those people are grateful to Wang Su and his son and give them wealth that they can never spend in their lifetime. They would rather die than betray their master. So for so many years, Wang Su and his son have wanted to be together.
You get wind and rain, but you always sit back and relax!
However, people like Ruan Lang also have some abilities but lack the guidance of experts. If they can meet a Bole, they may become a good horse. If they fall into the hands of Wang Jing, it won't be long before they become a good horse.
A hungry wolf that eats people without spitting out bones!
But for some reason, even though she knew Ruan Lang was Wang Jing's man, Yu Fengjin felt inexplicably fond of him.
On the straight street, two horses walked slowly with their heads held high, and the bells on the carriage collided, making a clear and sweet sound. Ruan Lang rode his horse side by side beside the carriage, chatting with the people in the carriage.
Chatting.
After walking forward for a while, I could already see the towering buildings of Ziwei City when I raised my head. Yu Fengjin suddenly changed the topic and asked: "Ruan Lang, did you tell me why the emperor asked you to find me?"
Ruan Lang pondered for a moment and then said hesitantly: "Back to Your Highness, the Emperor said that Your Highness has been claiming to be ill at home. He has not seen Your Highness for many days and is very worried, so he wants to meet His Highness."
"Worried?" Yu Fengjin raised his eyebrows slightly and said with deep meaning: "Don't you, the Chief of Staff, keep an eye on me all day long and report my whereabouts to the emperor at any time? Is there anything the emperor is worried about? Could it be that?
What happened in North Korea and China in recent days?”
This question was asked somewhat unexpectedly. Although Ruan Lang didn't know the meaning of his words, he could tell that he was testing himself. After pondering for a while, he could only say truthfully: "Back to your highness, the court has been busy with Pingyang Marquis in the past few days."
The debate continues, and the emperor is so troubled that he has not been to court for many days, nor has he received anyone..."
"Okay, I understand." Yu Fengjin responded lightly and then lowered the curtains. He leaned back on the cushions, slowly closed his eyes to recharge, but secretly thought in his heart:
It seems that his prediction was good. The Pingyang Marquis incident really caused a headache for Emperor Yu. Even if he wanted to favor this imperial relative and wanted to ignore it, he would slowly suppress the limelight of this matter. But the consequences were as fierce as fire.
Xia Shoufu and those invincible officials will not give up easily!
Although Yu Fengjin didn't see it with his own eyes, he could still imagine how Liu Bingwen's party and Xia Yunqing's party were fighting openly and secretly all day long, refusing to give in to each other. Even if they were surrounded by these people day and night, even if they were surrounded by these people day and night,
No matter how stable a person is, he will inevitably have an emotional breakdown.
Emperor Yu was very smart. He knew that the ministers around him had their own agendas, so he could not trust anyone. At this time, he must be eager to find an irrelevant person to ask for advice. And Yu Fengjin happened to be the most suitable candidate!
However, Yu Fengjin was very clear in her heart: Emperor Yu did not come to him just to ask for his opinion. He wanted to test more - to test his views on the government, to test whether he was still that puppet, and whether he still had any interest in the country.
Ambition!
In the past twenty years, Emperor Yu has become more and more lax in his management of the country, but he has never relaxed even a little bit in monitoring and testing himself. This makes him not sure whether he should be happy or angry!
Unknowingly, the carriage had stopped steadily. Yu Fengjin stood outside Xuande Gate and looked up at the majestic palace, but he had mixed feelings in his heart: Every time he steps into this place, he has done it well.
There is no way to prepare for leaving alive.
Stepping into Ziwei City, the two of them had just passed through Yemen when they were met by two people: one with a pockmarked face and the other with a brown beard. They were Liu Rong, the son of the state leader Liu Bingwen, and Zhang Heng, the son of Pingyang Hou.
A bully in official robes.
Zhang and Liu were startled when they saw Yu Fengjin, whom they hadn't seen for a long time. Then they took a few steps and blocked their way.
Zhang Heng looked at him with evil intentions and said sarcastically: "I heard that His Highness is ill, but you seem to be looking pretty good! Are you pretending to be sick to take some time off?"
"Whether it's true illness or hiding out, I have never been interested in government affairs." Yu Fengjin was not annoyed and just smiled faintly. Zhang Heng relied on the fact that he was the nephew of the late Empress Dowager Xiaokang, and the Empress Dowager Xiaokang was Yu Feng
Jin's adoptive mother, so she was always rude to him.
Zhang Heng snorted coldly and asked aggressively: "Now that the matter between my father and I is causing trouble all over the city, His Highness is hiding away for a while. Is it possible that you have to stand by and watch? Have you forgotten the kindness of Queen Mother Xiaokang?"
"Oh? What happened to Marquis Pingyang?" Yu Fengjin looked at him in surprise, her eyes were very sincere.
Zhang Heng frowned and stared at him carefully, trying to find out the truth or falsehood of his words. Liu Rong hurriedly explained: "Your Highness, some people in the court who are interested in impeaching Pingyang Hou and his son, slandering them for occupying fields and massacring villagers.
But they couldn't produce decent evidence, but they insisted on this matter and insisted that the emperor deal with Marquis Pingyang! You and Marquis Pingyang are family members, so you can't ignore this matter!"
Although he is also a relative of the emperor, behind his uncle Liu Rong is the unpopular empress, whose weight is much inferior to that of the emperor's biological mother. Naturally, he does not dare to make any mistakes in front of the prince!
Listening to his serious nonsense, Yu Fengjin pretended to be shocked and asked: "How could this happen? This is the first time this king has heard of it! What did the emperor say?"
Zhang Heng snorted coldly and said proudly: "Of course the emperor doesn't believe these nonsense, but those officials followed Xia Shoufu like a group of mad dogs, pestering this matter endlessly, and trying to make the matter worse! The emperor is not good either.
We can only put this matter on hold for the time being!"
Yu Fengjin sighed and said helplessly: "Hey, I don't understand these things very well, so naturally I can't say anything. But based on my understanding of the emperor, he will not let Marquis Pingyang suffer unjust injustice.
!”
Zhang Heng looked at him sideways and suddenly asked: "Your Highness, King Yi, are you playing tricks on this matter?"
Yu Fengjin pretended to be surprised and asked: "Why do you doubt me? We are royal family members, and the Queen Mother Xiaokang has nurtured me! Anyone can slander the Marquis of Pingyang, but she will never do it.
It’s this king!”
Zhang Heng touched his chin, but sneered: "The slander may have nothing to do with you, but I have heard that His Highness seems to have the only witness in this case. I don't know where He hid her.
?”
Yu Fengjin's heart suddenly sank, but she pretended to be shocked and angry: "I don't know where you heard these nonsense! You should know how the emperor found and brought back the witnesses when the emperor did not allow me to leave the capital.
?Besides, what’s the benefit of me interfering in this matter? Zhang Heng, you and I are blood relatives, we shouldn’t believe such rumors easily!”
Zhang Heng didn't buy what he said, and continued to ask: "I heard that Yan Rong, who is next to Your Highness, has been very close to the caravan in recent days. You can't do this yourself, but if you don't know, you will turn to Jianghu sects like the caravan.
Come and do it for me, don’t you think?”
Yu Fengjin shook his head with a wry smile, and sighed softly: "I understand that at this moment, you and your son are inevitably a bit uneasy, but you really shouldn't doubt me! Yan Rong is arrogant by nature and likes to make friends with people from all walks of life.
I don’t ask anyone who he is close to. However, I know that he has no reason to frame Pingyang Marquis!"
Zhang Heng's eyes flashed, and he came up to him and threatened in a deep voice: "Your Highness, stop pretending! I have full evidence on this matter. If you keep pretending to be stupid like this, it will be meaningless! Why don't you put that
Leave the girl to me. I will take Empress Dowager Xiaokang's name into consideration and speak more kind words for you in front of the Emperor, so that he will no longer monitor you like this, and also make you feel a little more comfortable in the future, how about that?"
