retaliate

Chapter 325 The steps in the palace are a bit high (added for 'Pang Huang')
In spring, everything recovers.

But Yang Xuan still didn't come back.

Zhou Ning couldn't sit still, so he prepared a gift.

"Is the lady going back to her mother's house?"

Yi Niang came in and asked.

"Go back and ask about Zitai." Zhou Ning was holding a wooden box with words written on the outside: Rejuvenation Pill Collector's Edition.

This is the gift-giving version privately created by Yang Xuan.

"My lady, don't worry." Yiniang said softly: "The old thief is alert, and the cultivation base of the second child is getting higher and higher. There is also Tu Chang, unless he is besieged by a large army or besieged by a group of good hands, he will definitely be able to return."

"But there is no news from Xijiang." Zhou Ning said: "Aye always said that he is fine, but if there is good news, he should be impatient."

Zhou Ning returned to her natal home with a gift.

"A Ning!"

Spring is here, but the weather is still a bit cold. Zhou Qin was strolling behind, saw his granddaughter coming, and beckoned: "The medicinal wine you made last time was good, but is there any more?"

Zhou Ning shook his head, "You can't drink too much of this wine, otherwise it will backfire."

Zhou Qin had a cold face, and Zhou Ning said, "How about another one?"

"Aning is still filial!"

Zhou Qin felt that his son could be thrown away.

When Zhou Ning took out a jar of medicinal wine, he couldn't wait to open the stopper.

"Aon be careful!"

A poisonous snake suddenly poked its head out of the jar and opened its mouth to bite.

Zhou Qin's cultivation naturally couldn't be bitten, and he flicked his fingers.

"Aon, don't kill me."

Damn!There is so much to do!

Zhou Qing simply let go.

Zhou Ning lightly grasped the snake's seven inches, and threw it into the jar.

"Ah Weng, this wine can be drunk after another half a year."

"Want to poison the old man to death?"

"This medicinal wine is quite helpful to A Weng's condition."

"The old man can't drink this wine."

"Then give it to Aye!"

Zhou Ning teased his wine-loving grandfather.

Later, she asked, "Ah Weng, is there still no news from Zitai?"

Zhou Qin shook his head, "I guess there is something going on in Xijiang."

"But something happened?"

"Hey!"

Zhou Qin sighed, "It is said that it is a competition with others, and both sides will suffer. Zitai injured his meridians and is recuperating."

Let's talk about it first!

After having a meal at home, Zhou Ning went back with more gifts.

Back home, Yi Niang came.

"Miss, do you have any news about your husband?"

Zhou Ning sat down, "Ah Weng said that Zitai was injured in the competition with others in Xijiang. He hurt his meridians and is recuperating."

Yiniang said, "I can't."

Zhou Ning nodded, "Even if he is injured, he will send a letter, which makes me feel at ease."

Zhou Qin and his son are all machismo, so naturally they don't think so carefully.

"There is only a first-class possibility. The trouble Zitai encountered is more serious than the injury to his own lifeline."

Zhou Ning made a decisive decision, "It's getting better and better."

Han Shitou was also concerned about Yang Xuan in the palace.

Spring is here, and the singing and dancing career of the emperor and the imperial concubine has also begun.

In the Ministry of Officials, Luo Cai is reading the documents.

"Eastern Palace adds a prince Zhongyun? Why?" Luo Cai raised his head and asked.

"Shang Shu, said it was an addition."

"Prince Zhongyun, this is the rule. Datang has too much money and food?"

"Shangshu, if it is...then Yang Xuan might be relegated."

"Why?" Luo Cai subconsciously patted his waist. After taking the prairie herbal medicine given by Yang Xuan, his waist became firmer.

The official said: "The lower official only heard about it today, and it seems that something happened."

"King of Guangling!" Luo Cai subconsciously thought of this based on years of experience in the bureaucracy.

"Mostly."

"Who did you choose?" Luo Cai sighed inwardly.

Then the candidates were sent up, and they were sent to the emperor without any problems.

"Can!"

The emperor said casually.

There was a glimmer of haze in Han Shitou's eyes.

When the new official took office, people in the East Palace were surprised and talked about it.

The fool also knows that something is wrong.

"Yang Zhongyun is probably out of luck."

"Certainly."

The news spread immediately.

The Zhou family finally sent someone to the Yang family.

"King Guangling ran away, and my uncle led the army to chase him, but he has not returned yet. But... relegation is inevitable."

Zhou Ning said calmly: "Tell Ah Weng Aye, wherever he goes, I will go."

Looking back, Zhou Ning asked people to pack up.

Staying in Chang'an is not called relegation, so there is a high probability that Yang Xuan will go back to a place where no shit happens for a few years.

As for the emperor's anger, Zhou's squatting there, the emperor is not easy to vent his anger!
This is the benefit of eating soft rice.

Really fragrant!

……

"Quick!"

Yang Xuan wanted to return home, but on the way, King Guangling pretended to be dead, so he simply got a carriage, changed horses all the way without changing carriages, and rushed to Chang'an like that.

It's okay to enter the city, but the sergeants guarding the city looked at them in a strange way, as if they were looking at...

"Why is it like returning from hell?"

The old thief thought of his experience of robbing the tomb, "That year when the old man went to rob the tomb, there was quicksand inside, and the old man was trapped for half a day. He felt that the old man had gone outside, so he burned incense and worshiped outside, and waited for the old man to climb out. , his eyes are similar to those of today's sergeants."

Wang Laoer was a little curious, "Since it's so dangerous, why do you still go down? Short of money?"

"It wasn't bad money back then."

"What's the difference?"

"It's just restlessness." The old thief sighed: "At that time, the old man didn't even look for his wife, so he threw himself into the ground with all his heart."

Entering the city, Yang Xuan asked people to go home to report, and he took King Guangling to the imperial city.

……

The emperor went into battle in person today and rehearsed a pas de deux with the imperial concubine.

The music is lingering, and the two look at each other affectionately, which is also lingering.

The imperial concubine lowered her waist, and the emperor supported her waist with one hand, just about to turn around.

This is a difficult action.

"His Majesty!"

A servant hurried in.

"What's the matter?" The emperor still maintained his posture.

"The crown prince allowed Yang Xuan to see him, and he brought King Guangling with him."

The emperor let go subconsciously.

The noble concubine sat down.

"Bring it here."

There was more coldness in the emperor's eyes, and the noble concubine resigned wisely.

After a while, Yang Xuan brought King Guangling to the outside of the pear garden.

"I have seen Your Majesty!"

The emperor said lightly: "Say."

Yang Xuan said: "The trip went smoothly, and then I handed over King Guangling to the troops from the western borders. After walking back for half a day, I received news that King Guangling had escaped."

The emperor didn't say anything, just looked at King Guangling who was kneeling beside him.

This baby is connected to foreign countries, so he deserves to die... Yang Xuan said: "Although this matter has nothing to do with me, but I can't just sit back and watch. Afterwards, I led the accompanying soldiers to chase all the way."

The emperor asked, "Where did you catch up?"

"Lolo Capital, Linton."

"Oh!" The emperor squinted.

"The minister pretended to be a messenger and entered the city..."

The subsequent experience was told, and even the servants were fascinated by it.

"...Danbas found the minister in order to suppress Yas..."

Yang Xuan slightly suppressed his own role, so as not to overemphasize his strengths.

The emperor nodded, "Reward Yang Xuan thirty thousand dollars."

This is credit.

If King Guangling stayed in Luoluo, it would be a humiliation to Datang.

The emperor watched Yang Xuan withdraw and asked, "What does Luo Luo have?"

King Guangling raised his head and smiled bitterly, "At least Luoluo doesn't have to worry about being killed at any time. Ah Weng, after all, I can't hide my escape from Luo Luo. If Ah Weng executes me, what will the world say? I know Ah Weng wants to do it with all his heart Mingjun, the history books leave a famous name..."

The emperor stood up, and everyone stood with their hands tied.

Han Shitou glanced at King Guangling, and seeing his calm expression, he knew that this man was sure that the emperor would not deal with him harshly.

Yes!

The prince can live if he conspired to assassinate the emperor, he just escaped, which is nothing.

The emperor came over, and King Guangling raised his head with calm eyes.

The emperor reached out to touch the top of his head, turned around, and was surrounded by people, and the voice came slowly.

"The steps in the palace are a bit high."

Han Shitou bowed until the emperor's back could no longer be seen, then turned around.

"King Guangling stumbled and fell to his death."

……

One emperor and one courtier, this is a common employment method both in ancient and modern China and abroad.

Among the three fires for newcomers to come to power, one of them must be personnel adjustments.The predecessors should be screened and used, and some people will be promoted by themselves. In this way, the structure will be stable.

On the second day after the new crown prince Zhongyun Yechun took office, Gao Yue and Feng Shitang stood aside, and changed from being a small official next to Yang Xuan to a handyman doing miscellaneous work.

This change of status can be described as catastrophic.

We have to clean up early in the morning, and after cleaning, we have to carry things.

"Old Feng, is it hard?" Gao Yue asked while holding a stack of documents.

Feng Shitang, who was behind him, was holding tea, "If you want to eat this bowl of rice, we have to do what others say."

"Old Feng, you didn't go to Ye Zhongyun to say something nice?" Gao Yue asked.

"What about you?"

The two looked at each other and laughed.

"This man is too arrogant, I don't like it!"

"It's useless." Feng Shitang said with a wry smile, "I also went to serve him respectfully, but Ye Zhongyun didn't even raise his eyelids, he only cared about asking about Yang Zhongyun."

"You didn't say that?"

"Yang Zhongyun is good to us. No matter how greedy we are, we have to have a bottom line. There is nothing else to say. I asked about Yang Zhongyun's news, and there was nothing."

"I thought you were going soft." Gao Yue said in surprise, "I didn't expect, Old Feng, that you can be tough."

Feng Shitang smiled wryly and said: "I regretted it a little later, thinking that if I had lowered my head at that time, I might have become Ye Zhongyun's confidant. But after thinking about it, it's good to be his confidant, but it's not so good to dream at night, most of them are nightmares. "

When the two arrived outside the value room, Gao Yue went in first.

"Ye Zhongyun, this is the document."

Ye Chun looked quite indifferent, and said lightly: "The case table is on."

The documents were put on the table, but Feng Shitang was a little at a loss while holding the tea...Where to put it?Put it next to the paperwork?
Whose to blame if it gets wet?

"Ye Zhongyun, where do you put this tea?" Feng Shitang asked honestly.

Ye Chun said indifferently: "If you don't put it in front of the old man, should it be in your hand? When you do something, poke it and move it. What does the old man want you to do?"

Gao Yue's heart trembled, and he summed up Ye Chuncong's words and deeds after arriving in the East Palace, and found that the newcomer had been cleaning from the very beginning.

Usually this kind of cleaning requires backstage boards to be tied. Obviously, Ye Chun's backstage is good, and he cleaned several officials smoothly.

Both of them survived, only marginalized.At first, the two thought it was because of their insignificance, but now Ye Chun took advantage of the situation, and Gao Yue thought about it before and after, and felt that he was completely wrong.

He and Feng Shitang belonged to Yang Xuan, if Ye Chun moved them as soon as he came, he would inevitably be slandered and mean.

Hope I'm wrong.

Gao Yue raised his head and saw Ye Chun's sneering sneer, his heart trembled.

They are all marginalized, and there is only one possibility that Ye Zhongyun is Yang Zhongyun's opponent.

This is to thoroughly cleanse the people around Yang Xuan.

"Come on!"

An official came in outside, "Zhong Yun."

This person is Ye Chun's newly promoted confidant. He is loyal to Ye Chun and is known as the number one thug.

Feng Shitang's heart turned cold, and he quickly apologized.

Ye Chun sneered, "It's useless, send it out and let them arrange it themselves."

This is no more!

The petty officials who were kicked out basically had no way out. They either got out and went home to eat themselves, or they were sent to some dirty place to do coolies.

Gao Yue raised his head and said in despair: "Ye Zhongyun, the villain works hard and never makes mistakes!"

"Get out!" Ye Chun pointed to the door.

As soon as the two turned around, they heard Wang Xian's voice coming towards them.

"You've been away for so long, everyone thought something happened. I'm still thinking, what a pity for such a talent. Earlier you suddenly entered the old man's room, and the old man was surprised, hey! Who is this young man? Why? So familiar? Hahahaha!"

"Xiaguan just went to the palace."

It was Yang Zhongyun's voice, and Gao Yue and Feng Shitang's bodies shook.

"how?"

"The trip didn't go well, but the news should have spread, right? Don't you know anything about Wang Zhan?"

"Little fox. It is said that King Guangling has escaped, so you lead people to chase after him."

"Yeah! After this chase, I caught up with Luo Luo."

"That's why Luo Luo promised you to bring back King Guangling?"

"Loro and his subjects disagreed, so I took advantage of it, and then the two sides fought..."

"how?"

"The accompanying soldiers were very upbeat and defeated Emperor Luo Luo's guards."

"Hiss! This is showing off in a foreign land! In this way, not only are you innocent, but you have merit."

"Why does Wang Zhan look like this?"

"Hey! Zitai!"

"You say."

"After King Guangling escaped, the court was quite dissatisfied, and everyone thought..."

"You all thought that the subordinates would be driven to a place where nothing shit happens when they come back?"

"Vulgar, but the meaning is appropriate. So the court arranged for a newcomer..."

"So, now I can be regarded as being unofficial and light-hearted."

"Look at what you said, His Majesty must be very happy that you have shown your power in a foreign land this time. If you don't go up to three levels in a row, I will leave this old man's work to you."

"Wang Zhan is a joke and dismissed from office!"

"Why are you making fun of me? You don't know, what His Majesty likes the most is making meritorious deeds in foreign affairs, proud of himself. You've been on a hard trip, and you happened to be resting at home for a while. By the way, let's drink together later, and we won't return until we're drunk!"

"Wang Zhan is being polite, I'm treating you!"

"Why, look down on the old man?"

"That's what Wang Zhan said."

The two appeared outside the door.

"Zhongyun!"

Gao Yue said in a trembling voice, and then the sockets of his eyes turned red.

"Zhongyun." Feng Shitang was like a child being bullied, two lines of tears fell down.

Yang Xuan was stunned, "This is..."

Ye Chun came over with a smile and cupped his hands, "It's Yang Zhongyun, right! Old man Ye Chun."

Tears welled up in the eyes of the two veterans. They looked like children who had been bullied by outsiders. After seeing the adults, Yang Xuan knew something.

"Gao Yue, where are you two working now?"

This is knowingly asking, Wang Xian smiled.

Gao Yue said: "The villain and Lao Feng have nothing to do."

This is a dead end... Crying in front of the old Shangguan: Ye Chun wants to clean up the villain.

Yang Xuan smiled, "These two people know better about their dismissal, the old Donggong, not to mention being diligent, but there is nothing wrong with it. Wang Zhan, after this time, he will probably not return to the Eastern Palace. It's a useless thing, please let Wang Zhan make it easier for me to take it away and throw it somewhere else!"

Yang Xuan's turnaround this time will surely lead to a higher promotion in the future.And he is Zhou's son-in-law, with someone behind him.Such a promising new star in the officialdom, the old man is worried that he will not find a chance to show his favor... Wang Xian said indifferently: "Are you going to slap the old man in the face?" He nodded slightly at Gao Yue and Feng Shitang, " Follow the old man back!"
