Chapter 60: Return to politics

The New Year’s Eve is approaching, and finally there is good news from Jingzhou. Under the pressure of the imperial court, the remnants of the Qiyang King, who were like a pile of scattered sand, have surrendered, and the rebel materials are also on the way back to the capital. So far, this is entrenched. The big troubles in the north were finally eliminated, and everyone in the government and the opposition was happy.
Of course, the first work was caused by Chu Jinglan. He risked great danger and went deep into the tiger's den. Without a single soldier, he took down Deng Tianguan's head, eliminating the scene of Chu soldiers killing each other and blood flowing. Few people can do this, which is really admirable.
Under the pressure of public opinion, the emperor finally decided to summon Chu Jinglan at the court meeting that day.
When he got up in the morning, Ye Huaiyang took out the court clothes that had been idle for a long time in the cabinet, and personally dressed Chu Jinglan neatly, and put on accessories such as court beads and jade wares. Then, he took a distance and looked carefully, only to see that The embroidered robe with sea water and river cliff patterns dangled in front of her eyes, very upright and solemn, and she suddenly felt a little trance--it seemed to be the first time I saw him dressed like this.
Chu Jinglan watched her stunned, holding her to her chest with one hand and straightening the collar, and said, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just think my husband is so handsome." Ye Huaiyang leaned over with a smile, and printed a sweet kiss on his side, "Be careful on the road and come back early."
Chu Jinglan responded with a light voice, and immediately let go of her hand to take the Yuhue. Suddenly she shook her body, and quickly hugged her back in her arms, frowning: "Uncomfortable?"
"No, I just didn't wake up." Ye Huaiyang yawned long as he said, her eyebrows and eyes seemed to be filled with mist, and she was not sober.
"Let them take care of you, you go back to bed and sleep for a while."
"Well, okay." Ye Huaiyang didn't force herself, rubbing her eyes and went to the inner room, leaving the rest to the maid.
Others say that after getting married, you have to be more diligent than when you were a girl. Whenever Chaotun goes to the window, he has to get up to serve his in-laws and husband. She can't afford to wear a crown, full sleeves, and handkerchiefs to serve congee. At home, I was still slumbering at night, but when I arrived at the palace, I started to be lazy. No, it was because Chu Jinglan changed his clothes and yawned so sleepy that he planted on the ground if he didn’t pay attention. Crescent looked straight from the side. sigh.
The one who lives in Lanyan Pavilion has been up a long time ago to prepare meals for the prince. How can the young lady get this...
Crescent Moon was about to enter the room to persuade Ye Huaiyang to say a few words, but she lay down again in such a blink of an eye, her whole body curled up in the silver silk satin quilt, sleeping soundly, still holding her hands. A jade jade, like the one worn by the prince, but how did the silk thread on it break...
After pondering for a while, Crescent Moon blushed suddenly.
I'm afraid that the prince made a ruthlessness last night, and the young lady could not bear it before she was pulled off, right? This is not the first thing that has been broken since I returned to the palace for half a month. It was as big as a jade inkstone seal, and it was as small as an obscene clothes and trousers. I don’t know how big it is. The guard thought it was an assassin...
Thinking about it, Yueya felt more embarrassed, and quickly tucked the quilt for Ye Huaiyang and went out.
She slept enough in the sun this time, and at the same time, the ministers of the Jinluan Temple were already arguing.
"Enlighten the emperor, Weichen believes that King Lan has merited in his rebellion and deserves to be commended."
"Weichen opposes. Although the death of the rebel Deng is the key to the suppression of the Jingzhou army, King Lan's act of beheading first and then playing is really unsatisfactory. If the officials of the prefectures all over the country all acted in the same way, what else is there? At all?"
"Master Li's words are very reasonable, and the Weichen agrees."
The situation in the court is heating up. There are many ministers who have been arguing with each other. There are quite a few sharp words, and they can always choke people pale, and Chu Jinglan stood indifferently in the noise. , Allowing him to slander him, and stay still, as if nothing could affect him.
The strange thing is that the emperor didn't respond much, just looking at him condescendingly, the corners of his mouth faintly aroused, revealing a cold air.
"The emperor, the minister has what he wants to play."
As an old and loud voice sounded, someone in front of him slowly walked out, wearing a Confucian crown and wearing a scarlet robe. He was a pivotal figure in the Yushitai-Yushi Doctor Gu Yong. I saw that he first bowed down and bowed, then bowed his head and held his sleeves still, just waiting quietly for the emperor to speak.
"Quick play."
The emperor opened his lips slightly, and the two words landed gently, and the officials in the hall immediately held their breath, and there was no more discussion.
Gu Yong gave another deep salute, and then he clenched the Yuhuo and said slowly: "Now the soldiers on the northern border are weak and deeply invaded by the Yi people. This has always been a worry for the emperor, and King Lan has lived in the north for a long time. The situation is very familiar, and the Jingzhou incident was handled very well, which shows that he is extremely capable and can be the right arm of the emperor. Therefore, the minister thinks that the chaos in the north is more suitable for him to handle, and it will surely remove all the worries for the emperor."
When he said this, he skipped even the clichés such as awards and directly asked Chu Jinglan to participate in politics. All of them were shocked for a while, but the emperor looked at him for a moment with a smile but a slight eyebrow. :"Oh, really?"
Before Gu Yong had spoken, another strong voice immediately sounded: "Master Gu is saying that the generals in the Northern Territory are ineffective in governing the army and the government officials are not strictly governing?"
It's Yue Ting.
Gu Yong seemed to have expected him to jump out a long time ago, and said, "Master Yue thinks too much, but the old man is just stating the facts, right or wrong."
"Then I will tell you the facts too." Yue Ting walked out, and his azure robe drew an arc behind him. "To deal with foreign enemies, we need to work together. Although King Lan has lived in the north for many years, he has not Have not been involved in military affairs, at this time, rushing in will inevitably shake the military's mind, thinking that they are not trusted by the court, then not only will not be effective, but will cause unnecessary trouble, so I think the Northern Chaos When it is resolved by itself, the court only needs to provide the necessary assistance."
"Master Yue is the top of the book, and his literary talent is hard to come by, but now he says such nonsense, he really teaches the old man to marvel at."
Gu Yong is notoriously straightforward in speaking, whether he is an important minister or a royal family member. He has always kept no face at all. Yue Ting was blackened on the spot by his sarcasm, but he couldn't directly scold him like him. , There was nothing to say.
Xie Yuan frowned inadvertently when he saw this, and then said: "Master Gu, this is the top of the court, how can you..."
"Does Master Xie think so too?" Gu Yong turned his head and looked at him. Old and Mi Rui's eyes seemed to penetrate his body, "Oh, I forgot, Yuzhou, one of the three northern states The jurisdiction of Lord Xie's brother..."
The implication is that he is speaking for profit.
Xie Yuan’s face became extremely ugly, but he did not immediately refute him. Instead, he secretly glanced at the emperor’s expression, and saw that he was not dissimilar. Then he said, "Master Gu, although Yushitai is serving as an impeachment picket, everything can be done. Pay attention to evidence, you can't throw dirty water like this!"
The old Gu Yong stroked his beard on the ground and looked at him with a look in the theater, which immediately made him angry, but when Gu Yong did not speak, he retorted a few more words and appeared to be concealed, so he had to put it aside. After enduring this bad breath, he secretly said that the old man, who was not afraid of it, was really fierce to bite someone this day, but he was on the wrong side, let's see how the emperor will deal with him later!
Strangely enough, the emperor seemed to have very few words today, but he didn't see the slightest anger, he just leaned on the dragon chair to watch them talk and talk, and there seemed to be some excitement hidden in the deep pupils.
What's wrong.
The corner of Chu Jinglan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he observed the whole situation calmly. There was still no fluctuation in his expression. At this moment, Wang Jian said leisurely: "The minister agrees to Gu Yushi, Wang Lan is brilliant, if he can assist him, It will save the emperor a lot of worries."
Gu Yong's face suddenly froze, but what he didn't expect was that the emperor agreed.
Chu Jinglan's heart sank suddenly, and the wind and clouds in his eyes were surging, as if he saw countless sharp swords coming back against the light, approaching him.
The emperor looked at him and smiled, as kind as the brother of an ordinary family, but his voice was like a tune played by three thousand ice strings, and he felt a chill no matter how he heard it.
"I waited for the emperor's brother to share my worries for me."
Chu Jinglan's eyes were far-sighted, his thin lips slightly opened, and four words lightly uttered: "My minister abides by the decree."
This turbulent court discussion ended in this way. After the next court, Yue Ting came to the Imperial Study Room.
As soon as he entered the door, the bright yellow figure dazzled his eyes, and there was a mixture of colorful streamers. He raised his eyes slightly and found that the emperor was playing with a glass cup with gluttonous patterns. The style was very familiar, but he didn't think about it for a while. When he got up, he didn't dare to watch for a long time, so he lowered his gaze and bowed his knees to salute.
"The minister pays homage to the emperor."
"Well, Yue Qing came just right, and my uncle just presented the pair of cups, and you also come to reward them."
Yue Ting did not know the depth of his words, so he glanced sideways at Wang Ying, and saw that his expression was as solemn as an ancient well, with no ripples, making it hard to guess what he was thinking, so Yue Ting withdrew his gaze. Duan stepped forward to the side of the imperial table, carefully admiring the pair of colored glass cups.
"Suwen Lord Wang has a very good eye, and it is true at first sight today."
Yue Ting was not a flattering person, so he only praised a few symbolically, unexpectedly Wang Ying suddenly attacked.
"Master Yue's vision is not very good. Isn't that Pei Yuanshu still your first disciple?" He paused, then turned his head to look at Yue Ting and spit out a word, "I don't do things well, what should I blame?"
Yue Ting didn't expect that he would dare to go beyond the emperor's place in front of the emperor. He turned to look and found that the emperor was also staring at him. His eyes were no longer as relaxed and casual as before. They were as cold as cold and cold. .
It turned out to be waiting for him here.
Despite the chill in his heart, Yue Ting did not panic. He only knelt on the ground and whispered in a low voice: "It is the minister who taught me no way. I beg the emperor to punish him."
The emperor raised his hand to give him a false help, and his tone changed again: "Yue Qing must not say that. After all, you have come up with this two-shot strategy. Even if Chu Jinglan has not been destroyed, it would be a pleasure to solve King Qiyang. , How can I punish you as a hero?"
Yue Ting could not afford to live, and said: "The minister is guilty and dare not take credit."
"Master Yue does not need to be like this. The emperor has always rewarded and punished clearly, and your student affairs will not involve you." Wang Ying said lightly.
Yue Ting kowtowed his head, half of his face hidden under the royal case, with subtle emotions implied, "The emperor is wise and wise, but it is the fault of the teacher that he is not strict in teaching. If the students make mistakes, the minister should take responsibility for him. The emperor condemned his officials."
Seeing his persistence, the emperor didn't say anything for a while, only looked at him with a meaningful smile, and there seemed to be a few very fine light passing by in his eyes, and it fell on his top.
A suffocating silence.
Yue Ting is not ashamed to be an old courtier who has experienced wind and waves. Under such a compelling sight, he is still calm and motionless. There is a little bit of sadness and disappointment between his brows, but he has no intention to excuse himself. , Seems to have believed that he did not complete the task assigned by the emperor, so he should be blamed for this, without complaint.
After a long time, the emperor finally asked him to get up and said, "Fine, you can withdraw."
Yue Ting's heart loosened, and immediately kowtow to thank the emperor: "Thanks to the emperor, after the minister returns, he will be three times his body and discipline the inferior."
When he walked out of the Imperial Study Room, the wind passing through the hall made Yue Ting cold all over, and the sweat on his back seemed to have condensed into ice dregs, stabbing people with faint pain. He stood in front of the porch and was silent for a while, shook his neck and steadily stepped down the stone steps, standing upright as usual, and suddenly stopped his steps with grace halfway through the way possible.
Colored glaze cup...that is the colored glaze cup produced in Yanzhou Guan Kiln!
