Qing Emperor had two bottom lines in his mind.
One is the military affairs of the court, and the other is the transfer of officials.
The referee allowed the princes under his knees to compete in a battle of wits and tricks in the octagonal cage he prescribed, but he did not allow the prince and the second prince to get involved in the most important military and civil affairs of the Qing Dynasty. Of course, the eldest prince who led the army for the Qing Kingdom in Dongyi City was an exception.
As for money affairs, Emperor Qing did not treat it as strictly as the first two.
It’s just a pity that the Ministry of Household Affairs has been in the hands of Si Nan Bo Fan Jian all these years, and the two princes can’t reach in at all.
The only place where it can be operated is the royal inner treasury.
So the people in the court naturally regarded the fact that Emperor Qing wanted to take back the treasury management rights from the eldest princess as dissatisfaction with the prince, because Fan Xian and the princess of the Royal Courtyard The palace has no plans to abort the marriage until now.
Li Yunrui was extremely anxious.
For Her Royal Highness the Princess, who has already tasted the poison of power, handing over the royal treasury that she has held tightly for many years so easily is undoubtedly more uncomfortable than killing her.
Nowadays, Fan Xian's reputation is so bad in Kyoto, but the palace's attitude towards this marriage has not changed.
Li Yunrui gritted her teeth and even asked Emperor Qing in person, but the answer she got was not the one she wanted.
During this period, Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess often went to the Queen Mother's palace, hoping that her mother could persuade the emperor to reject the marriage. Unfortunately, Li Yunrui's constant crying failed to impress the Queen Mother.
"My stupid daughter actually wants me to persuade His Majesty."
"Your Majesty is in charge of state affairs, and I am in charge of family affairs, including Wan'er's marriage to the boy from the Lin family. It's obviously just a pretense."
"You, an old dog, have been in the palace for so many years, and I guess you understand His Majesty's temper. Why do you think His Majesty insists on letting Fan Jian live in Danzhou? That son married Wan'er"
In the Queen Mother's palace, the kind-hearted old lady looked at the wrinkled face in the mirror with lowered eyebrows.
Behind the Queen Mother, who was slightly bowed and waiting, was the eunuch Hong Sixiang, the chief eunuch of the Qing Dynasty.
The latter seemed a little hesitant, but he still said, "The princess is indeed of age to be married, and her life experience is similar to that of Young Master Fan. Your Majesty estimated the friendship between you and Uncle Si Nan, and kissed her." It would be good to get married. As the Queen Mother said, this marriage is just a facade. What is really important is Your Majesty’s ambiguous instructions. This is why Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother visits the Queen Mother’s chamber so frequently these days.”
Hong Sixiang felt that he had just said too much. It was better to say less about these private matters between the royal family.
"You continue."
The Queen Mother closed her eyes and began to take a nap.
After Hong Sixiang raised his head and looked at it, he went on to say, "An industry as big as the royal treasury should be left to people with foreign surnames to manage it."Does Your Majesty feel that the eldest princess and the Queen are too close, and is dissatisfied with His Highness the Crown Prince, so that’s why?”
After hearing this, the Queen Mother murmured to herself in a low voice, “Yes, the key to the problem is still The prince is here. ”
“Recently, Cheng Qian has become a lot more diligent and hardworking, but I just don’t know if it’s still too late. "
"Forget it, after all, this matter is a national matter, so it's not my business. "
Lu Ze received a special invitation letter.
"Chen Yuan"
"This Dean Chen seemed to be the first to be patient. Can't live. ”
“It is said that the art in Chen Yuanli is one of the best, but it is a pity that few officials in the capital dare to visit the President of the Overwatch Council. President Chen is full of sincerity. Of course I have to go. ”
Lu Ze happily went to the appointment.
He also wanted to meet the dean who controlled all the dark power of Qingguo.
In In the turbulent Kyoto, no one can avoid Chen Pingping in the darkness. Everyone knows that this is an old dog raised by His Majesty Emperor Qing who cannot bark. But if he is really bitten by this old dog, that dog will It proves that he can no longer survive in Qingguo.
This post was delivered to Lu Ze at night.
It proves that Chen Pingping did not want this meeting between the two to be exposed. came out, so he specially sent a groom who was good at lightness.
"See Your Highness. "
"Wang Qinian, a clerk in the Supervisory Yuan Division, is responsible for arranging your trip. ”
The groom is a cheerful middle-aged man.
The clerk Wang Qinian looks a little fatter, but fortunately his smile is gentler. Lu Ze sat down on the appointed day In the carriage, he went to the appointment very calmly, but the behavior of not bringing anyone with him made Wang Qinian's face look weird.
He muttered in his heart, "This prince looks like the one in the rumors." Not quite the same. ”
Chen Garden is located in the southwest of Kyoto.
Lu Ze rode the carriage of the Supervisory Council, left the city from Xicheng and merged into the field path through the official road. When passing by Xicheng for review, Wang Qinian didn't know what method he used, but it went smoothly and he left the city without any inspection.
The carriage passed through the mountain road in half an hour. After passing a large bamboo forest, a manor with an extremely large area suddenly appeared.
Wang Qinian didn’t speak much along the way. It seemed that he had been specially reminded by the groom. He was relieved when he saw the manor and bowed slightly to face the carriage. Lu Ze said, "Your Highness, we are here. "
After getting off the car, Lu Ze looked at the manor, which occupies a large area.
He couldn't help nodding and praising "a good place"
The people in the manor The buildings are not tall, and are mixed with the low trees and bluestones in the garden. However, the details such as the door buckles on the eaves and corners clearly reveal an air of nobility. The word "Chen Yuan" is written vigorously on the black plaque at the door. It is said that it was the first How special are the words inscribed by the emperor himself?Glory.
The journey to Chenyuan seemed very peaceful.
But Lu Ze knew that the security situation of this manor was definitely no worse than that of the Imperial Palace of Qing Dynasty. Chen Pingping’s hatred in Qing Kingdom was definitely higher than that of Emperor Qing. Qing wanted this old man both at home and abroad. There are many people with bad luck, and everyone knows that if you want to deal with Qingguo, the first person you have to deal with is not the two great masters of Qingguo, but Chen Pingping of the Supervisory Yuan.
Unlike the civil and military officials in the Qing Dynasty court, Chen Pingping, the dean, had an extremely special status in the Qing Dynasty court. After he became stable at home and abroad in Qing Dynasty, he began to complain of illness and refused to go to court.
The Emperor Qing had no choice but to agree, so he had time to live in Chenyuan outside the city for many years.
Chen Pingping’s legs were broken off to save Emperor Qing.
After passing through the elegant and charming small bridge and flowing water, Lu Ze, led by the old butler, finally arrived at the main hall where Chen Pingping entertained guests. Dean Chen’s eyes were as cold as ever. After seeing Lu Ze A smile that didn't look like a smile appeared on his face, and he cupped his skinny hands, "I have met His Highness the Crown Prince. I am inconvenient to salute, so please forgive me."
Lu Ze looked at him with dull eyes. He looked at Chen Pingping and did not say any more polite words.
There were only the two of them in the main hall where Chen Yuan was waiting for guests. There was no one serving around him. Even Lu Ze had just walked from the door here and saw no one on the road. I wanted to come here to be adopted by Dean Chen. None of the orphan girls will show up.
Lu Ze smiled in his heart.
I can only say that my original reputation in Kyoto has not completely changed.
"The dean invited me to come to your Chenyuan today. I didn't see the beauty or serve tea."
"I don't know what you mean"
Lu Ze looked at Chen Pingping in front of him without any stage fright. He casually glanced at Chen Pingping's wheelchair. In such a prosperous Chen Garden, the dean did not sit on the soft couch, but he only had a special liking for wheelchairs. It seemed that in his heart I haven’t forgotten that Ye Qingmei yet.
Chen Pingping has no children, and her parents died young.
Not a single relative, not a single friend. Although there are many beauties in Chen Garden, there is not a single beloved woman. She is like a solitary vine. This kind of Chen Pingping is the Supervisory Authority that the enemies fear. Grow up, because you can't find his flaws and weaknesses at all.
It’s just that Lu Ze knew everything that happened to Chen Pingping.
His only weakness is Ye Qingmei, or his desire to avenge Ye Qingmei.
Chen Pingping stroked the old blanket that had pilled and covered her legs. Knowing that His Highness the Crown Prince did not seem to want to be polite, he went straight to the point, "Your Highness the Crown Prince came here today for no reason." My Chen Yuan's song."
"I can help you completely defeat the second prince."
If the former prince heard Chen Pingping's promise, he would be delighted. Crazy.
The most powerful force in the Qing Kingdom is not in the court at all, led by Chen PingpingThe Overwatch Council is the most abnormal place in Qingguo. From one to eight offices, it has the best talents and technologies in all aspects, as well as the mysterious black knight who has no tail.
If there is a mountain like the Overwatch Council behind a certain prince, then the supreme throne can be said to be just a few feet away.
Lu Ze smiled, then shook his head. His smile quickly turned cold, "Are you trying to frame me, Mr. Dean? The Supervisory Yuan is the Qingguo Supervisory Yuan. Although you are the dean, If there are any signs of using personal power to help the prince, my father will invite you to tea the next day."
Chen Pingping was deliberately testing.
In these years, he has lived in the capital for a long time and has an extremely deep understanding of the Prince of the East Palace. That is why he is extremely sensitive to some of the recent changes in His Royal Highness. That is why we have today's meeting. The dean wants to See something for yourself.
A smile appeared on Chen Pingping's face, "Your Highness is a little different from before."
"Your Highness, the eldest princess, has been in trouble recently, but you haven't put it down much." In my heart."
Lu Ze laughed.
This old dog is deliberately hinting that he actually knows about the abnormal relationship between Lu Ze and Li Yunrui.
But Lu Ze didn't care at the moment.
Because he is sure to handle this matter cleanly.
"Master Dean."
"Should I call you Chen Pingping or Chen Wuchang?"
A coldness flashed in Chen Pingping's eyes Chen Pingping, who was accustomed to controlling everything, never expected that Lu Ze would actually know his true name, which was only known to a few people in the Qing Kingdom.
"Brother Lu Ze"
"We detected hostility at 43 meters to the northwest."
Lu Ze listened to the silly girl's voice in his mind, The corner of his mouth raised, and he was actually keenly aware of the change in energy. It seemed that it was Chen Pingping's personal bodyguard and the shadow of the director of the Sixth Bureau of the Oversight Council.
"Dean Chen."
"I am very happy that you can invite me to be a guest in Chen Garden, but I don't like your attitude towards guests."
p>In fact, Lu Ze admired the wheelchair-bound dean in front of him.
Chen Pingping in the original work of Qing Yunian appears to be a bloody and unscrupulous king of darkness. In fact, she attaches great importance to friendship and is very lovable. Otherwise, she would not have been looking for Ye Qing all these years. The truth behind Mei’s death.
But if the two people completely go against each other, Lu Ze will choose to send the dean down to his good friend Ye Qingmei without any hesitation. Appreciation is appreciation, and stance is stance.
It’s just that Lu Ze feels that if he takes the throne later, he will really need professional assistance.
This is also the fundamental reason why Lu Ze agreed to come to Chen Yuan today. He needed to judge the possibility of Chen Laogou changing his owner.
It’s just a pity that Chen Pingping seemed to have dealt with Fan Xian in advance, so he took a moment toWith some hostility, after all, when Ye Qingmei's accident happened, the Queen's party contributed the most.
Chen Pingping quickly apologized with a smile.
Soon after, a song mixed with the sounds of silk and bamboo came from outside Chen Garden. The melody rippled softly in the air of Chen Garden. Lu Ze and Chen Pingping changed their communication positions. Not far away, there were more than a dozen people. A beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes sang and danced, but her back was turned to the two of them.
Lu Ze sat next to Chen Pingping with a calm expression, looking at the beautiful scenery and beauties of Chen Garden.
“The water in Kyoto has been stirred for too long.”
“Everyone in the world feels that the battle between me and the second prince will not be decided for more than ten years, because now Your Majesty is in his prime years, so it is difficult for a single family to dominate."
"Fan Xian's appearance is also an important step in breaking the balance in Kyoto."
Lu Ze said softly. Talking softly.
During this period, Lu Ze really didn’t have anyone he could communicate with. Those in the Prince’s Mansion were not suitable people to talk to, and that crazy woman Li Yunrui only thought about power, and even Intimate communication requires negotiation of conditions.
And Chen Pingping is a very good conversation partner.
Chen Pingping turned her head and glanced at Lu Ze, and her rating for Lu Ze increased again in her mind.
She was still very aggressive in the main hall just now, but in the blink of an eye she was able to talk to herself softly. This posture made Chen Pingping feel very familiar. This was something he could often feel in Emperor Qing. .
"Your Highness, you are a smart man."
Lu Ze asked, "What kind of person is the dean? Is he a loyal minister?"
Chen Pingping treated this The question was very careful. I thought for a long time before answering, "I am loyal to His Majesty and loyal to Qingguo. No matter what we do, His Majesty watches us do it and we can only do what He allows us to do. Loyalty to Your Majesty actually means Be loyal to yourself."
A smile spread across Lu Ze's face. He stood up slowly, stared at Chen Pingping beside him, with sincere eyes, and said word by word, "Then what will happen if His Majesty betrays you, the Dean? Are you a loyal minister?"
The breeze outside was warm, but it still made Chen Pingping's legs a little cold, so he pulled up the old wool blanket.
Chen Pingping closed her eyes and did not answer for a long time. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
