Take yourself to the altar

Chapter 67 [067] Bo Yun in the capital is treacherous
Feng Yu was quite surprised when he saw the person coming.

He didn't expect to meet Xiang Yuan who had met Qingzhou once not far from the capital.

Seeing Xiang Yuan's face full of excitement, he jumped down without waiting for the carriage to come to a complete stop, and approached with a few steps, bowing to him with a long body: "Grandfather, I didn't expect to meet you here! If it weren't for your help, Xiang would have already been married and divorced." Dispersed, family ruined and dead, before looking for benefactor to thank, Mr. Zuo said that benefactor has long since left, and now it is God's will to meet you! Please also benefactor, accept Xiang Mou's worship!"

Feng Yu supported him.

Hearing him mention "Lord Zuo", he asked, "Did Mr. Ling return safely?"

Xiang Yuan nodded again and again, and said: "Master Zuo uncovered the case of kidnapping children by the Yellow River Gang Bi Wanqing, and Gou Zi also returned smoothly. It was from Master Zuo that he learned the truth, and then he learned about the grand deed of benevolence. I have always remembered it!" Between words Then, a woman holding a child came down from the carriage, it was Xiang Yuan's wife.

Mrs. Xiang also received Feng Yu's kindness, so she went forward to salute with the child in her arms.

Feng Yu felt helpless, and comforted him: "It's so cold, don't let the child get cold! I already know the thanks of both of you, so don't be so polite, go back to the carriage!"

Xiang Yuan was also worried about the health of Mrs. Xiang and his young son, so he let them go back to the carriage first, and he talked to Feng Yu himself in the snow.Feng Yu also talked with him, and knew that Zuo Qianfeng contacted Yixian county government to finish the trivial matters after he left.

All the captive children have returned home safely.

Zuo Qianfeng escorted the criminals headed by the Yellow River gang Bi Wanqing back to the capital, and after calculating the time, he arrived in the capital before Feng Yu.When Xiang Yuan learned that Feng Yu was also going to the capital, he couldn't help but warmly invite him to go with him.

This place is only a day or two away from the capital, so he doesn't need to be in a hurry, Feng Yu thought about it for a while and agreed, it wouldn't hurt to slow down and appreciate the prosperity of the capital.

He rejected Xiang Yuan's proposal to give up the carriage, and only wanted a horse, and walked slowly towards the capital like those accompanying servants.

Although chaos has emerged in all parts of the world, people's lives are struggling.But in Shuntian Prefecture, there is still prosperity.Only the official road is much more spacious and flat than Qingzhou.Even if it snows in winter, after the snow clears, the government will organize manpower to clear the official roads, so that pedestrians and merchants will not delay their journeys because of the roads.

Xiang Yuan was extremely grateful to Feng Yu, and treated him with respect and hospitality along the way.

A day later, they entered the capital.

At noon, Feng Yu had dinner with them in a town outside the capital.Although it is a suburban county outside the city, the prosperity of the streets and shops can be compared with other cities.After the meal, Feng Yu rode a horse, and the accompanying team drove for another hour, when a majestic city suddenly came into view in front of them!
Let's go to the capital!

The city tower stands tall and majestic. A single city wall is more than ten feet tall, and the city tower is even more magnificent!From a distance, the capital city is like a majestic giant beast, crawling on the vast land.The official roads in the four directions are wide and flat, forming several veins of the capital. Even in winter, there is an endless stream of business travelers coming and going between the official roads!
Feng Yu reined in his horse and stood up.

There was a clear light in his eyes, and he was observing the weather of the capital with the Taoist "watching Qi technique".

But seeing the sky above the magnificent imperial city, the majestic luck gathered, forming a dragon shape like a mountain, entrenched under the sky.The dragon-shaped body is slightly turbid, and the dragon's head also seems to be full of twilight, but the whole dragon body is still thick and mighty, majestic and majestic. Just like what Taoist Xuanji said at the beginning, the vitality of Daqian has not yet come to an end .

If so, then Daoist Xuanji's proposal is indeed a good strategy.

If he can gain the trust of the Dagan government, it will be easier to expand the followers of True Monarch Dayan Fumo, and then he will be able to gather stronger forces in a shorter period of time to deal with the gradually turbulent world. elephant.Of course, there must be a prerequisite for this, that is, the person chosen is wise and can truly be the master of Zhongxing who strives hard to govern, otherwise Feng Yu would not want to help the evildoers.

Xiang Yuan worked as a Beijing official in the household department of the capital.

The official position is not big or small, and there is also a mansion.Feng Yu originally planned to go to the capital, so he bid farewell to him, Xiang Yuan's kindness could not be denied, and it would not be too late to invite him to stay for two days.If they entered the city together, they didn't go far, only to see a group of people gathered in front of them, and there were notices on the wall inside the crowd, and there were officials guarding under the notices.

After reading the announcement document, the surrounding audience were all moved and talked a lot.

Sitting on the horseback, Feng Yu saw the content of the notice at a glance, and after browsing through it, he couldn't help but let out a "huh" in surprise.Xiang Yuan was also riding a horse, but he couldn't see that far, he only knew what a group of people were discussing, so he smiled and said, "There are so many people crowded together, I don't know what the notice said."

Feng Yu glanced at him, and said, "It's a document issued by the current emperor to order the crown prince."

"Ah?" Xiang Yuan was stunned, and then his expression changed dramatically, "The emperor sent an order to His Highness the Crown Prince? How could it be so! Daoist, please wait a little longer, this matter is very important, I need to know the details!"

He was about to get off his horse, but Feng Yu held him back.

"There are so many people under the announcement, how can you squeeze in? Or let me just read it to you."

Xiang Yuan glanced at the tightly packed crowd, and after he came to his senses, he wryly smiled and raised his hands: "Then there will be a Taoist priest!" Feng Yu shook his head, indicating that it's okay, and then relying on his extraordinary eyesight, he said the word "announcement" from a distance. Read it without missing a beat.

Xiang Yuan's expression changed drastically.

Especially after hearing such words as "tyrannical", "unvirtuous", and "gracious and stingy", his face sank like water, and his eyes were full of worry!Let me ask, can a person who has been judged in this way by today's government be able to bear the responsibility of inheriting the great rule?

What's more, it's not just a criticism hidden in the deep palace, but a decree directly issued and announced to the world to know!The current majesty's intentions are undoubtedly revealed, and the position of the crown prince is afraid that there will be troubles in the near future.Since ancient times, anyone who involves the abolition of the establishment will form a storm that cannot be ignored.

Xiang Yuan is an official in the capital, how can he avoid such a power vortex?

He almost cheered up, and then entertained Feng Yu and went to his house.After he arranged Feng Yu's residence properly, he didn't even take care of the dinner party, so he confessed his crime first, and left the mansion to visit his familiar colleagues in order to find out about the recent major events in the capital.

What's interesting is that Feng Yu thought that tonight would pass like this.

Unexpectedly, night fell, and after Xiang Yuan returned to the mansion, he ordered his servants to set up a banquet and invited Feng Yu to drink together.But after the banquet, Xiang Yuan just drank blindly, remained silent, showing a gaffe he had never had before.

Feng Yu is so keen. He can see at a glance that Xiang Yuan has been in a state of distraction since he returned from the house. He thinks that he has heard some unexpected news, so that he is irritated.After making friends, Feng Yu couldn't bear to see him so depressed, so he waved his hand to the servant waiting to pour Xiang Yuan a glass of water.

Immediately, he melted a "Ning God Talisman" into the water, stopped him when he was about to drink, and said: "If you drink any more, you will hurt yourself, just drink this from me."

Push the cup of talisman water over.

Xiang Yuan didn't think much about it, he took the talisman water full of depression, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

After a while, Fu Shui's spiritual power spread, and Xiang Yuan's restless mind gradually calmed down after a glass of water.Returning to reason, although he was still stimulated by the news, his mind calmed down, and he immediately realized how rude his behavior was just now.

After waking up, Feng Yu made repeated apologies, but Feng Yu didn't accept it, and only asked him, "What happened to make you feel so uneasy?"

Xiang Yuan shook his head, with an ugly smile on the corner of his mouth, the bitterness was beyond words.

"The head of the Taoist is a person of azimuth, and he shouldn't bother Xiang with his own family affairs. Hearing about it suddenly, Xiang was so confused that he lost his composure!" Xiang Yuan sighed, "Xiang just found a colleague and asked It turned out that it was related to the case that Mr. Zuo handled in Qingzhou! Xiang never expected that the messenger behind the gangsters of the Yellow River Gang Bi Wanqing would have something to do with His Highness the Crown Prince! "

"Prince?!"

Feng Yu was taken aback, frowned and said, "I don't know if there is a person named 'Wu Hairu' involved?"

Xiang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and asked: "Is the Taoist talking about 'Miaoshou Danyi' Wu Hairu, Mr. Wu?"

Feng Yu nodded, but Xiang Yuan shook his head and said, "I've never heard of that."

"Heh~" Feng Yu laughed, didn't ask further, just thought of his heartbroken appearance just now, and couldn't help asking him, "Master Xiang was on the side of the prince before this?"

Xiang Yuan was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly.

Feng Yu said curiously: "Although I am a reclusive person, I have heard that King Yanqing of Qi is both civil and military, and King Hui Yantai is virtuous and virtuous, but the current crown prince is extravagant, stingy, arrogant and immoral, and the incident of warnings is enough to prove it." Why did Lord Xiang choose to support the prince before?"

Xiang Yuan smiled wryly, with a rare look of shame on his face.

After a pause, he sighed and said: "The Taoist priest is a person who practiced in seclusion. He has not been involved in the secular world deeply, so he doesn't know the calculations of the officialdom. If you want Xiang to be fair, the three most popular heirs of the Holy One, the Crown Prince and the King of Qi , King Hui, there may not be much difference in their temperament, character, and ability. Even the most famous King Hui is not much better than the prince. The reason why there is such a huge difference in the current reputation is that at the beginning The crown prince has done something, unintentionally eviled the wealthy scholarly family, and completely lost their support."

"The reputation of King Qi and King Hui, others don't know it, Xiang is in the capital, in the whirlpool of officialdom, how can he not know what's going on? They are just people standing behind them, arguing with each other, It's just the results of the promotion!"

"Oh~?"

Feng Yu was very surprised. The news that Daoist Xuanji heard had such inside information?
Then he was quite puzzled and said: "Since you know the secrets of the struggle for power and profit, why did you suddenly change your position and hate that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Maybe this time it was still someone else's conspiracy, and the Crown Prince was just being plotted against? "

Xiang Yuan suddenly looked gloomy, and said in a shy voice: "At first Xiang also thought so. But after inquiring, I found out that there are all witnesses and material evidence in the Qingzhou case, and Dali Temple is responsible for accepting the case. Bow your head and plead guilty! Dali Temple has covered up the dignity of the royal family, so there is a verdict of "unknown to the imperial court"!"

"Um--"

Feng Yu suddenly felt a headache.

Fighting for power and profit is not something he is willing to meddle in. If the truth is as Xiang Yuan said, wouldn't it mean that the three heirs are all the same?If he wanted to participate in it, Feng Yu would rather give up this path directly, at worst, he would be like the "monk Jigong" in the lower realm of the Buddhist "subduing the dragon and arhat", traveling around and doing all the injustices happily!
Of course, if you listen to both, you will be bright, and if you listen to one side, you will be dark.

What the truth is, he has to verify it himself.

So Feng Yu changed the subject, and asked casually, "By the way, do you know how is Mr. Zuo Qianfeng Zuo now?"

Xiang Yuan was really aware of this, and replied: "Master Zuo has made great achievements in investigating the case, and has been ordered by the Holy Spirit to be promoted to the post of 'Xuanyiwei Qianhu'."

Feng Yu said with a smile: "Hehe~, that's not bad. When I see him in the future, don't I have to call him 'Zuo Qianhu'—hey, 'Zuo Qianhu'?!" Feng Yu's eyes widened suddenly!
