Chapter 2 Lulu: Playing Power Techniques
Chen Zetang walked out of Fengtian Palace.
The sky is dark at the beginning, and the cold style is biting outside. Breathing in a breath of clear air, and white mist is shrouded on the lips.
Some palace servants are busy sweeping the imperial roads. The rules in the palace are lighting the lights at the Yin hour, but today is different. Under the leadership of the deacon, the eunuchs, the palace maids and eunuchs, took off the big red lanterns under the eaves of the palace one by one, and then hung the paper lanterns of Bai Qiuqiu one by one.
Everyone is serious and behaves more cautiously, and they may cause unintentional disasters if there is any mistake.
When Chen Zetang came, he had already changed from the brocade official robe, and had a blue robe in his black cloak. His expression was calm and solemn, but his steps were hard to detect.
When they returned to the cabinet, Chen Huan and his friends wandered in front of the door. Seeing him holding his hands behind his back, they were slowly climbing up the steps. Their faces were full of anxiety and finally dispersed at this moment.
Chen Huan came forward and wrote: "The food has just been delivered to the dining room, and the adults are still in there and are waiting for the second master."
Chen Zetang handed him a cloak on his body, lifted the felt curtain and entered the room. A warm feeling came to his face. Gao Da Xu Ling and his friends were talking. He could not help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard the news and looked back at him.
Everyone gathered around and asked him to explain in detail the situation with the prince in Fengtian Hall.
Chen Zetang said, "Don't worry, I haven't used food since last night, so I'm really hungry, so it's not too late to complain after eating something to fill my stomach."
Xu Ling uncovered the lid of the food box for him. They had eaten it and took out a bowl of wonton chicken left for Chen Er, a few plates of exquisite desserts that had not moved, and the smell was hot and fragrant.
Chen Zetang was not polite, and took the bowl and chopsticks and started eating.
He was originally elegant and elegant, and even at this time he was very gentle.
Gundam continued to speak to Li Guangqi: "But remember the last court report, because the prince stepped on the horse and the flying swallow, and the prince killed seventeen people?"
While eating tea, Li Guangqi said, "Why didn't you know that Xu Bingyong was dismissed from office and retired and returned to his hometown. The eunuch Wei Zhi was aggressive in the hall that day and wanted to punish the prince. He did not think that he would transform himself today. He was the prince's person."
Gao Da looked suddenly: "Not! Now that I think about it, the prince, Wei Zhi and Xu Bingyong have played a good show to fool us."
Xu Lingze waited for Chen Zetang. He was a military general and was rude and chaotic. He was anxious. After Chen Er rinsed his mouth, he couldn't wait to ask: "Now that the emperor has passed away and the new emperor succeeded to the throne, the court will inevitably have a tragedy. Only the eunuch Wei Zhi, the eunuch of the Silis, is left. The cabinet ministers are in accordance with the customs and need to resign. What did the prince and you say?"
Chen Zetang said, "The prince summoned me to serve as the chief minister, so he did not have to go out to Beijing to inspect. He was dedicated to the crown prince's ascension ceremony and focused on assisting the country's political affairs in the future."
"It is best to arrange what everyone wants in this way." Li Guangqi showed his joy and calmed down again, and asked uncertainly: "Chen Er, have you refused?"
Chen Zetang shook his head again: "I have said that although he is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, he has ambitions, but he is suspicious by nature and can only be investigated. He is good at mastering the emperor's art of controlling the emperor, but he is contrary to the way of governing the world. Do you think the prince really wants to give me important responsibilities? It's just a test and test. If I readily agree, you will soon be deprived of the position of the cabinet minister."
Gaodao's forehead leaped with blue veins, and asked Shen Er how to deal with it.
Chen Zetang had no strange expression on his face, and his tone was faint: "I said that going to Liangjiang to inspect is a heavy responsibility of the Minister of Personnel, and it is also the order of the former emperor. How can he betray him at will? It is suggested that he recall Xu Bingyong to serve as the chief minister. After all, he was dismissed from office for the first time because he was forced to fight for the throne as a substitute for the crown prince. How can he not use such loyalty to him? "
Although he knew that Chen Er had his own reason for saying this, Xu Ling was still depressed and could not bear it for a while: "I finally drove Xu Bingyong away, but you pulled him back. If you want to pull him out in the future, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky."
Chen Zetang smiled and said, "Xu Bingyong is no longer in control of the position of chief minister. I got the news last night that he had already taken his family and quietly returned to the capital, which shows that his intentions were revealed. I might as well follow the flow and sell personal favors to them. No matter what the scheming is, I always give each other a book."
"Sure enough, the prince was overjoyed and said that Xu Bingyong was used to using the old ministers in the cabinet, and that the resignation letter was not allowed this time."
After hearing this, the crowd was immediately enlightened and then looked very worried. Gao Da asked quietly: "What is the news on King Hao?"
Chen Zetang was speechless and said for a long time: "The time is not right, so let's be patient for the time being."
................
After the cabinet's political discussion, Chen Zetang rushed back to the Ministry of Personnel with sedan chairs. Officials at all levels wore green clothes, horns and mourning robes, and were all on duty at the yamen to pay tribute.
Hearing that Feng Shuanglin had woken up, Chen Zetang went to the ear room first. When he entered the room, he carefully looked at his face. Although he was still bloodless, he finally added a hint of spirit.
He took the medicine soup from the waiter's hand, sat on the edge of the bed, and personally fed him spoonful by spoonful.
Feng Shuanglin looked at Chen Zetang carefully, and then said with certainty: "The emperor was buried in the sky last night."
Chen Zetang nodded without comment, and focused on feeding him medicine, looking like he didn't want to talk too much.
Feng Shuanglin couldn't help but take the last spoonful of bitter medicine and said first: "If Lord Shen is useful, he will be confused and will never refuse."
Chen Zetang put down the medicine bowl and looked at him thoughtfully for a while. Then he left the person and asked in a low voice: "I said last night that Feng Sheng's opportunity to show his talents is coming, are you ready?"
Feng Shuanglin nodded, weak but firm.
Chen Zetang had a dignified face and a solemn expression. He said seriously: "The emperor died suddenly. I kept trying to clarify my thoughts, but I still had a mystery. Without talking about what Wang Kui of the Imperial Heaven Supervisor Wang Kui said, he was the prince's envoy, but he could easily win people's hearts by using the astrological signs to upright his position."
"The emperor summoned the prince and the fifth prince to the palace to meet, and set up a table to have a drink and chat, and ordered the attendants to wait outside the door. Later, the emperor and he and he went to the corridor to watch the snow. Although they were sick, they danced swords before going back to rest. Because they said that the prince and the fifth prince stayed in the palace late at night. Who would have thought that the emperor was on the bed in the middle of the night, and he suddenly felt unbelievable."
Chen Zetang also wrote down what he saw and heard in the palace of Ganqing, what Concubine Zhang said, the queen's actions, the eunuch of the Silijian was imprisoned, Ding Yanfeng refuted and talked with the prince, and said everything he knew and said everything he said to Feng Shuanglin, and let him keep it in mind.
He whispered again: "The crown prince knows about your castration. Now the rank and supervision of the Ministry of Education is short of talented people, and there are only eunuchs in the palace who can succeed. If it is not as expected, you will enter the palace to serve him in the next few days."
He paused, looked at Feng Shuanglin's pale cheeks and black eyes, and asked softly: "Would you like to enter the palace? Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, and even more so suspicious and cruel person. If you don't want to do it or force it, if you are willing, you will not be mediocre, and use all your means to climb to the position of the eunuch in the Sili Supervisor, and secretly investigate the mystery of the sudden death of the emperor. The burden you carry is heavier than Mount Tai, and it is as dangerous as it is, but it is the most dangerous chess of King Hao entering the capital. If you think it clearly, I can just go back."
