Volume Four, The Year of the Curtain, Chapter 192, Thinking of Life, Death, and Killing
The quiet streets echoed with the sound of boot soles stepping on snow, which seemed very monotonous, like someone hitting the old clock in the palace with the palm of their hand. It made a low humming sound, which was heartbreaking. Ning Que's armpit
His crutches fell rhythmically on the snow in step with his footsteps, but they didn't make any sound.
After hearing what Chao Xiaoshu said, he was silent for a long time and said: "The Academy does not interfere in politics, and it is ultimately up to the Empress to decide whether to kill her or not."
If the academy did not interfere in government affairs, the Tang Dynasty would have been destroyed a few months ago. If the academy did not interfere in government affairs, it would naturally have become an empty talk, so naturally the second sentence would also be empty talk.
Chao Xiaoshu said: "Will Huashanyue kill me?"
Ning Que said: "I want to kill."
Chao Xiaoshu said: "The Hua family is a prominent family in Hebei. Different from other surnames in Qinghe County, they have always been loyal to the Tang Dynasty and have a strong foundation in the military and court. In particular, the five major camps in Gushan County have always been managed by them. This is
In Northern Xinjiang and Eastern Xinjiang, the Hua family has been working hard, and in fact they are still working hard now."
Ning Que said: "You are telling me these things just to tell me that Hua Shanyue is not easy to kill?"
Chao Xiaoshu said: "You also know this, otherwise even if I stopped you before, you would still do it."
Ning Que said: "I was thinking, if I want to kill Hua Shanyue, I should kill the entire Hua family."
"Although this answer is a bit cold, it doesn't surprise me."
Chao Xiaoshu said: "It's just that there are so many people in the government and the public that you can't kill them all. You can't kill all the ministers who support Li Yu, because then the Tang Dynasty will be destroyed. However, once the war subsides, these people will definitely
They will worry that the Queen or the Academy will purge them, so the conflict will continue. Even if there is no Huashan Mountain incident tonight, similar things will happen in the future."
Ning Que said: "I will find a suitable way to deal with it."
The two of them stopped discussing this matter. After all, those matters or the methods of handling them had an eerie undertone that was difficult to erase, which was not in harmony with the passion of Bai Xuejing Street tonight. These days.
Chao Xiaoshu didn't like it, and Ning Que didn't want to say this at this moment. The two walked forward in silence, and it didn't take long before they arrived at Chunfengting Heng Second Street in the East City.
Walking into the Chao residence, Ning Que saw Mr. Chao, and was then pulled to the side courtyard by Shangguan Yangyu. He looked at the fuyin's wretched face as before, raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "How come the reaction over there is so fast?
"
Shangguan Yangyu stroked his goatee, seemingly calm, but in fact, his hands were trembling and he almost pulled out his small beard, and said: "It took a lot of effort to be quiet for two days. If this matter is not handled well, it will cause big trouble."
"What's the best way to deal with it?" Ning Que looked at him and asked.
Shangguan Yangyu was very flustered by him and said: "If you say yes, then it's really good."
Ning Que smiled and said, "Who found your head?"
Shangguan Yangyu said: "This kind of thing. No matter whether it is a bachelor or a minister, no one dares to come forward. Who else can do it? The minister of Dali Temple is waiting at my house at this time."
Through Lord Fu Yin's explanation, Ning Que found out that this Dali Temple minister was an in-law of the Hua family. He thought about it and asked, "What does the empress mean?"
Shangguan Yangyu said: "Your Majesty, please give Mr. Thirteen full authority to handle this matter."
Then he looked around to make sure no one was peeping, and said in a low voice: "The young and old of the Hua family are kneeling in front of the palace gate at this time. Judging from the situation, they may have to run away early tomorrow morning."
"What's the point of kneeling at this time?" Ning Que said.
He understood what the court meant. Hua Shanyue's behavior obviously did not get the approval of the family, and at this moment, everyone wanted to remain calm and united.
The only place that is qualified to handle this matter and calm the turmoil is the academy.
In other words, it's him.
Ning Que thought of the officers and soldiers who ambushed the Queen's convoy at Beida camp and said: "Send all the bloody cloaks involved in the case to General Xu Chi, just say that I sent them there, follow the precedent, and treat them as ten poems."
To make atonement, go back to your palace and tell the minister of Dali Temple that if the war stops for a while, the Hua family will be ready to hand over military power."
"clear."
Shangguan Yangyu was thrown out by the Empress as a middleman, but he was unwilling to offend the adults of Her Royal Highness the Princess's faction too much. Hearing Ning Que's opinion, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked: "What about Huashan Mountain?"
Ning Que said: "Throw it over the same way."
Shangguan Yangyu was finally relieved. What he was most worried about was that Ning Que insisted on killing Hua Shanyue. You must know that even the Queen felt that Hua Shanyue could not die at this time.
Shangguan Yangyu left the imperial residence, and Ning Que stood alone in the side courtyard, gently stroking the rough surface of the crutch with his palms. Thinking about tonight's incident, he always felt that something was wrong.
There was a cough behind the wintersweet bush, and he walked out towards the old man.
Ning Que was ready to step forward to help.
He waved his hand to the old man and said: "You are a dead cripple now, and you still want to help me?"
Ning Que smiled and suddenly asked: "Goodbye, what do you think of this matter?"
He said to the old man: "Why do you ask me, an old man, about the important matters in the court?"
Ning Que said: "Even the temple master wants to ask you a question, let alone me."
He said to the old man: "Tell me and listen."
Ning Que said: "I always feel that there is something wrong with handling it this way."
He said to the old man: "Because you are retreating."
Ning Que said thoughtfully: "Yes, I am not used to retreating from the world."
Old Master Chao looked at him and said, "If you want to ask about the way of heaven, you should not care about worldly affairs."
Ning Que asked: "So what if everything in the world always bothers you?"
He said to the old man: "What do you do when the master of the temple is in front of you?"

There are many fire pots placed in the flower hall of Chaozhai, which is as warm as spring.
The disciples of the Yulong Gang suffered heavy casualties in the past few days, and the atmosphere in the gang was naturally a bit gloomy. Chao Xiaoshu and Liu Wu returned today, and everyone gathered at the Chao residence without drinking too much.
After Ning Que and Qi Si finished talking about the renovation of the house by Yanming Lake, they glanced across the table.
Chen Liu is drinking hot tea. He doesn't like drinking because he thinks alcohol is not helpful for thinking.
Ning Que said he drank too much soup and left the flower hall to relieve himself.
Not long after, Chen Liu also came out.
"You are familiar with the military. How is your relationship with the Zhenbei Army?"
Ning Que looked at Chen Liu and asked.
The bright yellow light passed through the window paper and fell on Chen Liu, leaving a large shadow and making it difficult to see his face clearly.
After a night in Chunfeng Pavilion, the relationship between the Yulong Gang and the military was very close. Chen Liu knew that it was impossible to hide anything in this regard, so he said softly: "You can talk."
Ning Que said: "Tell them over there that I want Hua Shanyue to die."
Chen Liu was silent for a long time, then nodded.
His nodding movements were so small that if Ning Que hadn't been staring at him, he wouldn't have been able to see clearly.
The two of them returned to the flower hall one after another.
I looked at Xiaoshu and said, "Let's eat together, the meat is almost rotten."
