The ghost king and princess of Feng Qingtian

Chapter 316 Lele Missing
In the Imperial Study Room of the Imperial Palace in the capital, Bai Ziyu and Qian Zong sat across from each other, but their faces were very ugly.Qian Zong looked like he had worked hard for many days, his eyes were bloodshot, and his temples were a little gray, and he seemed to have aged a lot.Bai Ziyu was not much better, although he didn't suffer from running around like Yun Yuhong was fighting, but the torment in his heart was no better than the exhaustion of his body, and besides his pale face, he lost a lot of weight.

The two monarchs and ministers were silent for a while, and then Bai Ziyu broke the silence.

"Your Majesty, if you really can't do it, let's add Enke. These people are huddling together and making such a fuss. Once they gain power, it will be fine. No matter how hard it is, we will endure it." Bai Ziyu said solemnly.

Qian Zong sighed and said: "But you have to think about Hong'er too. You have seen Jiang Rui's report two days ago. He asked for people, soldiers, and food from the court, but where is there now?" There are so many, if we cannot meet their demands, the front line will be even more difficult."

It turned out that the reason why the two were in such a difficult situation was that the aristocratic families in central Beijing huddled together again, taking advantage of the current war-torn situation to ask for benefits from Qianzong's important officials, and many people wanted to make a comeback.Today's life in the capital is not easy. Originally, there were many aristocrats from Moyun and Yuxue families, but they were dismissed by Yun Yuhong, and they were quiet for a while, but now there are aristocratic families who did not migrate with Ruifeng. , All of a sudden, it became even more lively. The people in Beijing laughed and said, walking on the street, a flower pot fell, and it hit ten people, and eight of them belonged to noble families.

These aristocrats from aristocratic families were no different from when Yun Yuhong was in Beijing. No one suppressed them, and they started to act unscrupulously. The children of aristocratic families called friends and friends every day, causing trouble everywhere.The old and new families colluded with each other to form different small groups.Many even began to try to monopolize some military supplies by relying on their strong manpower and finances, preparing to make a fortune in war.However, Qianzong really failed in being decisive in doing things. When these people were just probing at the beginning, they didn't stop this phenomenon in time, so that it got out of hand later, and Bai Ziyu was not there at that time, and no one close to him reminded him. So under his unintentional indulgence, the situation got out of hand again.

If Yun Yuhong had been in Beijing at that time, she would have felt great emotion, why there were so many tyrants in history, and the reason why they did so was not completely unreasonable.Sometimes there is also a contest between the monarch and his ministers. If the monarch is strong and his ministers are weak, the result is autocracy, or if the monarch is weak and his ministers are strong, that is the beginning of troubled times.

But the current situation is that there is chaos. Take Jiang Ruizhen’s notes as an example. Such an important document has been delivered to Qianzong’s case for ten times. Qianzong lost his temper and asked why this was the case. People say that there are too many official duties and not enough staff to deal with them in time.Bai Ziyu asked angrily, he only sent two people from the Ministry of War to Ruifeng, why are they so busy, and then the Minister of the Ministry of War found out all kinds of reasons, and then settled on one sentence: Please ask the emperor to fill the Ministry of War with manpower.

The next thing that the ministers are interested in is not Jiang Ruizhen's excerpts, but how to replenish the personnel of the Ministry of War, who can be qualified for this job, etc., which made Qian Zong and Bai Ziyu so angry that their faces turned black Come.However, some people in the court who were close to Qianzong or Bai Ziyu's support did not speak, which made Bai Ziyu very puzzled.

In the end, the two of them learned that Yun Yuhong sent the little prince to Jiang Rui's formation, and asked Mr. Ning to dispatch [-] elite soldiers from Yuxue, and the matter was finally resolved.But Bai Ziyu blocked most of the courtiers from recommending talents, and hurriedly ended the court meeting.

In the end, after getting to know Mr. Zhang San, I realized that these old and new nobles are very cunning, and they have formed an alliance of forces in secret. During this year, they have developed very rapidly, and other upright courtiers are under their hands. Of course, some of them have been won over by them, and some ministers who do not want to form a party with them, they have reminded Qianzong either from the side or directly, but they failed and were retaliated against , now he dares to be angry and dare not speak out, but he himself, now he can't please him in the first place, Qian Zong is afraid that he may not be able to protect him, and although Bai Ziyu is a prime minister under one person and above ten thousand people, but Behind the scenes, the Bai family has fallen, and their power is limited, so it is impossible for him to fully cooperate. He thinks it would be safer to wait until the ghost king returns to Beijing.

Of course, Mr. Zhang San spoke implicitly, but the meaning was still conveyed. After finishing speaking, he withdrew, leaving Bai Ziyu and Qian Zong looking at each other, but they were speechless.Qianzong blamed himself, Bai Ziyu persuaded: "No, this is not the emperor's fault, the foundation of Mo Yun's government has always been unstable, the five great families and the four major military lords have long controlled the court, making it difficult to recover the morale of the court. When the ghost king was around, he had already suppressed it. In addition, the prince sent all the Ruifeng aristocratic families that could not be dealt with to the capital, and wrote a lot of recommendation papers. His side was relaxed, and this place would naturally be chaotic. Now we We can only hold on, and if it doesn’t work, we can only use some extreme measures.” They can’t rely on Hong’er for everything, the frontline battle is already difficult, and no matter how troublesome things here are, he has to find a way to solve them himself.

And at the gate of the capital, a carriage drove in before closing the gate.The coachman asked: "Madam, are you going back to the General's Mansion?"

A deep female voice came from inside, "No, let's go to Ruifenghou's Mansion."

Hearing the voice, it was that the tenth princess had come to the capital, but the first thing she did when she came back was not to see what her own home looked like, but to go to her natal home.

Ruifenghou Mansion is the current residence of the Duanmu royal family.Although it is a Hou's mansion, it is actually a large mansion near Xiaowai in the south of the city. It used to be some farmland, but after the Duanmu clan came, they bought it and built their own mansion.Of course, this was nothing in the first place, but no one expected that a Marquis Mansion could be built so large, covering an area almost as large as a small village. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a small palace.

Along the way, the ten princesses frowned tightly. Not to mention the large area occupied here, the building is also very magnificent. As a subjugated king, this is too ostentatious.No wonder the crybaby asked her to return to Beijing immediately, these people don't know what trouble they caused her.

After entering the mansion, the old uncle whom the ten princesses wanted to see did not come out, but the one who came out was his father, the current Marquis Ruifeng.The tenth princess was surprised and said: "Father, father's health has already recovered?"

Rui Fenghou sneered and said, "Of course I've been cured after a long time, but the old emperor uncle is sick. Why, don't you want your father to recover from his illness?"

The tenth princess thought for a while, and sneered: "Of course I hope my father will be well. It's just father. Now that Ruifeng Kingdom has perished, that's a fact, and it can't be changed. Now that you have come to Moyun, you will take our family with you." Live here Anwen, forget about the past, otherwise we may all be destroyed."

"Hmph, after all, it's a married daughter who only thinks about her husband's family. Are you still the princess of my royal family?"

"Now I am no longer a princess. Father, I just want to tell you, restrain your clansmen, don't get involved with other people in Beijing, and try to keep a low profile. If you get involved with something, you can't get away , our family will not have a way out. I’m done with this, so you should know for yourself.” The tenth princess wanted to go out after she finished speaking, but she heard Rui Muhou shout: “Wait a minute, since you have come in, don’t go out Yes, you came back at just the right time, so you can come in handy for me."

The tenth princess knew it was not good when she heard it, but just as she was about to move, she saw more than a dozen hidden guards surrounding her. These were his father's dead soldiers, and all of them were highly skilled in martial arts.Not long after, the tenth princess was captured by several people.

Rui Muhou smiled and said: "Come on, let's deliver the letter. Let's say that the tenth princess has returned, and brought back news and gifts from the ghost king. As long as he misses his mother, he will go."

Very anxiously said: "What do you want to do, not who do you want to deal with? It's too late to give up now, otherwise everyone will be finished."

Rui Muhou smiled and said: "You will know what I want to do soon. As for the other things, you don't care about them. If I manage well, the world of Mo Yun will be mine. Don't worry, you will still be me at that time." Ten princesses."

One of the hidden guards slashed the tenth princess unconscious with a knife, and the other hidden guard dodged and swept away.

It was almost midnight when Bai Ziyu returned to the ghost king's mansion. As soon as he walked in the mansion, the housekeeper greeted him, and then he kept looking behind Bai Ziyu.

Bai Ziyu asked, "What are you looking for?"

The housekeeper said: "Isn't the Master Xiang with the Eldest Young Master? Didn't the Master Xiang send someone to say that the wife of the general son and grandson came back today, and brought a lot of gifts for the Ghost King for the Eldest Young Master? Think…"

"What, say it again, I'll send someone?" Bai Ziyu's face immediately changed.

The housekeeper also said that the matter was not good, so he told the matter again, Bai Ziyu immediately turned around and walked out, not forgetting to confess: "Quickly, send everyone to find the eldest son."

That night in Beijing suddenly became lively. The waiting guards in the palace, the arresters of the yamen, the defenders of the capital, etc., surrounded the capital with a water pavilion, and then began to search from house to house, which lasted a whole night. One day, and then everyone withdrew.

Inside the Ghost King's Mansion, Bai Ziyu was sitting in a chair. He hadn't closed his eyes for two days, and his originally pale face became even more gray.Lele disappeared, no one knew where he went, no one passed letters or made threats, and no one could tell whether Lele was alive or dead. Lele just disappeared suddenly, and the love who tricked him out The wife of the crying ghost also disappeared without a trace after entering Beijing.After a long time, Bai Ziyu came to the table, wrote a few words with a pen, asked someone to tie up the pigeons, and opened the window to let the pigeons fly. Looking at the distant white shadow, Bai Ziyu's mind was still thinking about Those few words: Lele is missing, take precautions early.
