Nightwatcher Chapter 4: Please grant your majesty to death
Haoqi Building.
Nangongqian, who returned to the Yamen, opened his mouth softly and entered the Haoqi Tower for the first time. With the son of Nangong Qianrou, led by her son, she can go straight to the building to see Wei Yuan.
Wei Yuan stood in front of a horizontal map with his hands on his back, squinted, and said nothing. He has maintained this position for half an hour.
This is a bird's-eye view of the entire northeast. The picture marks the headquarters of the witchcraft and the locations of the countries in the northeast. This kind of map lacks precision and can only be seen at a macro level, so it is not precious.
A more precise map is a confidential object that countries must rob and protect if they break their brains.
The sound of footsteps came from behind, followed by Nangongqian's soft and open voice:
"Foster father."
"Wei Gong."
Wei Yuan didn't turn his head, and said in a deep voice: "Xu Qi'an's bones floated in the canal for more than ten years. It shouldn't be left for long... Let his relatives be buried soon."
If you listen carefully, there is a hint of pain in the deep voice.
Nangong Qianrou knew very well why the adoptive father didn't take a look at Xu Qi'an's corpse. The adoptive father is the ruler and the strategist. His heart should be hard and cold. Only a cold and ruthless person can be invincible.
Wei Yuan should be an invincible person who will not be influenced by emotions.
The guards in the yamen, and even the outside world, hope that Wei Yuan is such a person.
"Foster father..." Nangong Qianrou cleared her throat and said: "Xu Qi'an, he is not dead yet."
Wei Yuan suddenly turned around, and his green robe swelled with such a great motion.
At this moment, the eunuch’s face is complicated, and his eyes are also complicated, stunned, puzzled, delighted, hopeful...Nangong Qianrou has never seen such complicated emotions on her foster father’s face. .
But only in an instant, the **** recovered calmly and calmly, pacing slowly to the side of the case and sitting down, and asked in a harsh tone:
"What's the matter?"
Nangong Qianrou relayed Xu Qi'an's remarks again.
After listening quietly, Wei Yuan said immediately: "Let him come and see me quickly."
Nangong Qianrou nodded and looked at the huge, northeast bird’s-eye view, "The spy thing..."
Xu Qi'an came back from the dead, do you still want to fight the witch gods?
"After the autumn harvest, the plan will remain unchanged." Wei Yuan's expression is cold, and his tone is full of strong confidence.
Nangongqian gently opened up and retired. The former planned to go to Xu Mansion again, but as soon as she left the Yamen, she ran into Xu Qi'an who was riding a horse.
"You are quite witty," Nangong Qianrou tweeted: "Those who don't know thought that the foster father had taken another scorpion fly."
Xu Qi'an sneered at each other, and said: "The old yin and yang are now."
Nangong Qianrou was furious, mistakenly thinking that Xu Qi'an was mocking his male and female faces, and her eyebrows were erected: "Why didn't you die in Yunzhou."
When the voice fell, Xu Qi'an immediately caught a picture in his mind: Nangong Qianrou raised her right hand, slapped her arm and slapped...
Xu Qi'an was blessed to the soul, his waist sank, his head lowered, and he escaped from Nangong Qianrou's slap within a few millimeters, and fled into the Yamen.
"Too lazy to be familiar with you, I am going to see Wei Gong."
In front of the fourth-grade golden gong, Xiuyibo's operation is already at the limit, and if you don't slip away, you will be hit on the ground.
Nangong Qianrou looked at his back in a dazed manner, then lowered her head and glanced at her hand... avoided?
Lian Shen Jing is extremely sensitive to danger, and can easily detect the hostility and ambush around him. Even if he is blindfolded, he can fight in the chaos. When the martial artist reaches the realm of refining the gods, his personal combat power will reach a small peak.
However, with Nangong Qianrou's fourth-grade cultivation base, despite his reservations, it should have been easy to hit the target with the palm of the hand before a warrior of the **** realm sensed the crisis and made evasion.
"How could it be..." Nangong Qianrou frowned slightly.
.......
Xu Qi'an received countless surprised glances along the way, whether he called the watchman or the staff, looked at him dumbfounded.
The news of the death of Xu Qi'an from Tongluo has spread throughout the entire yamen. In the past few days, if you use the title of your previous life to talk about it after dinner and tea:
#Shocked! Tongluo Xu Qi'an returned, and Wei Gong was stunned.#
#What the promising Tongluo did in Yunzhou ruined his life#
But now, I see Xu Qi'an, who has been dead for half a month, appearing at the Yamen lively and vigorously, and also enthusiastically waved his hand to greet everyone, and raised people's brains full of question marks.
"In broad daylight, ghosts can also enter our yamen? It is said that people become so handsome after death?"
"What to do, this is Xu Ningyan's ghost, let's not make a move, right? It will be bad if the soul is gone."
"Are you blind? Ghosts have shadows? That may be Xu Ningyan's brother. How can Xu Ningyan have such a talent."
Xu Qi'an came to the Haoqi Building amidst all the discussions, and the guard looked at him dumbfounded.
"I want to see Wei Gong and report it quickly."
The guard walked back into the building one step at a time, and came down after a while, "Wei Gongyou, please... Master Xu, you are not, you are not..."
Xu Qi'an touched his face, and replied with a mellow voice: "I am Xu Qi'an's brother, I will take over as the elder brother by the order of Wei Gong."
"So that's it, Mr. Xu's name is Gao?"
"Xu Qian."
The guard said in his heart, how could it sound like a lady's name.
On the surface, respectfully, he said: "Please come in."
Entered the Haoqi Building and boarded the tea room on the seventh floor. Xu Qi'an saw Wei Yuan, who hadn’t seen him for more than a month. He was still wearing a gorgeous green robe with white sideburns and shallow crow's feet in the corners of his eyes. He was elegant and handsome. Old handsome guy with good looks.
According to my current appearance, I will be old in the future, and I will definitely not be worse than Wei Yuan...Xu Qi'an clasped his fists and said loudly: "See Wei Gong for a humble job."
Wei Yuan was in a daze, and said gently: "Sit down."
For the first time, Wei Yuan personally poured him a cup of hot tea, and said leisurely: "Tell me about Yunzhou."
This is a long story. Xu Qi'an told Wei Yuan about the history of Yunzhou, including the identity of Li Miaozhen No. 2 and the identity of the Saintess of Heaven.
Except for the important relationship between the monk Shenshu, he has no reservations about the rest.
The main reason is that Wei Yuan is too smart and will be detected if he hides too much. Furthermore, the **** really valued him, cultivated him, and Xu Qi'an repayed him, and trusted Wei Yuan very much.
Sure enough, Wei Yuan took a sip of tea and said, "Yang Qianhuan has been following you."
Xu Qi'an was taken aback at first, a little surprised, he was not stupid, he immediately realized what was happening, and asked, "Why Brother Yang is following me?"
"Naturally, he won't follow you for no reason. As far as I know about this person, he doesn't care about other things except like doing some weird things." Wei Yuan smiled unpredictably, "But if it is What does it mean to supervise."
Jianzheng knows my secret...If he instructed it, that would be reasonable.
Xu Qi'an looked at Wei Yuan calmly. Will Wei Yuan, who is so wise and like a demon, also noticed some clues?
Wei Yuan was not obsessed with this topic, and continued: "As for that third-rank sorcerer, let him be a third-rank for the time being. I don't think he is Sun Xuanji of the Sitian Supervisor.
"However, this incident reminds me of something else."
Xu Qi'an's spirits lifted up: "Wei Gong, please help me out."
Wei Gong is still reliable, the old silver coin, Taoist Jin Lian, is hiding his words. And Wei Yuan has almost no reservations about me.
"You are acquainted with Chu Caiwei of Sitianjian, and Song Qing, do you know their respective identities."
"Jianzheng's direct disciple?" Xu Qi'an asked not quite sure.
Not all the white-clothed people of Sitianjian are disciples of Jianzheng. Just like the great scholars of Yunlu Academy, they often open lectures, but there are very few true direct disciples.
Song Qing, Chu Caiwei, and Yang Qianhuan are the direct disciples of Jianzheng.
"Yang Qianhuan is Jianzheng's third disciple, Song Qing is the fourth disciple, Chu Caiwei is the sixth disciple, and the white-clothed sorcerers call her a younger sister." Wei Yuan said.
..... What's wrong with this? Xu Qi'an didn't understand.
"However, there are only five direct disciples in Jianzheng." Wei Yuan said quietly.
This..... Xu Qi'an's pupils shrank slightly, and finally understood what Wei Yuan meant. Jianzheng had only five disciples, but Chu Caiwei was six disciples, so what about one of them?
Where did that one go?
Yang Qianhuan is the third disciple, Song Qing is the fourth disciple, and Chu Caiwei is the sixth disciple...I don't know who Sun Xuanji is.
"Sun Xuanji is the second disciple." Wei Yuan said.
"Then, the eldest disciple and the fifth disciple are unclear for the time being." Xu Qi'an said.
For a while, the two did not continue talking, and there was a brief silence in the tea room.
When a cup of tea reached the bottom, Wei Yuan continued: "It's not time for you to wake up."
"Why did Wei Gong say this?" Xu Qi'an didn't understand.
"Zhang Xingying writes, I hope the court will recover the title for you. After discussing with the public, your majesty will title you Changle County. In a few days, the imperial decree will come down."
Wei Yuan said helplessly: "Since you are alive, the cabinet will most likely reject the imperial decree, and most of your majesty will gladly accept it."
"What's the matter, as long as I have a lot of silver to be rewarded." Xu Qi'an shrugged indifferently.
Changle County, it should be a viscount, it sounds like a brother's title...no, my son's title.
In the future, I met officials from Changle County, and everyone introduced each other, and the other said: Ninghao, I am Changle County xxx
Xu Qi'an said: I am from Changle County.
Those who don't know how to do it thought I was someone's son.
Wei Yuan glanced at him: "Silver is just something outside of the body. Is the symbolic meaning of the title comparable to silver? Even if you become a silver gong and have power in your hands, your status is still not on the table.
"Only knighthood is the proof that you can completely break away from the civil status and become the nobility of the dynasty. If you are knighted, the Xu family is not an ordinary person, but a nobleman.
"If you marry a wife in the future, a commoner woman will not be eligible to marry you. It must be a wealthy daughter to match you."
"Can you marry a princess?" Xu Qi'an asked in a low voice.
..... Wei Yuan nodded: "Theoretically, it can."
It is impossible for a princess to marry a commoner, and the future husband-in-law must be a powerful man. Although the viscount is not high, he is a knight anyway.
"For some reason, your Majesty is not happy with you. If he doesn't want to, no one can do it." After Wei Yuan finished speaking, he laughed:
"Fortunately, you are a man of nothing, and there is still room for maneuver."
"Wei Gong taught me."
"A few days ago, a major incident occurred in the palace. Concubine Fu died unexpectedly and fell from the attic in disorderly clothes. At that time, there was only the prince in the house, and he was drunk. The case was very tricky, and it was about the face of the royal family. , And also involved in the abolition of the prince, the three law divisions are not willing to be involved, and they must handle the case passively."
...My mother, the prince insulted the emperor's concubine?
Xu Qi'an shook his head quickly: "Wei Gong, aren't you harming me, the royal scandal, how can I intervene?"
"It's okay." Wei Yuan waved his hand: "All of the civil and military officials know about this. You don't have much more. You can find out the best. If you can't find out, just push it away.
"If your ability is not enough, you will be punished at most. Even if your majesty doesn't like you, if you don't make a big mistake, the Viscount didn't kill him if he said it. The Xiangui Group will not agree."
Understood, what Wei Gong meant was that if the emperor revokes the decree on me to be noble, I will pretend not to accept it if he asks me to do business in the future. First coax Emperor Yuanjing to give me the title.
Then, he withdrew again for reasons of lack of ability, and at most he would be punished a little bit and earn a title for nothing.
Wei Gong is really... resourceful (old silver coin).
"The prince is Lin'an's brother." Xu Qi'an suddenly thought of the charming and affectionate little fish he had raised.
The little queen of the nightclub must be sad and helpless now.
"You have nothing to do with Princess Lin'an, are you?" Wei Yuan squinted and examined him.
"No no." Xu Qi'an shook his head quickly.
Wei Yuan nodded in relief.
........
The next day, Yushufang.
"The three-day period has passed. Your answer to me is "the case is complicated and there are many doubts, and how many days can I ask for grace?"
Emperor Yuan Jing smashed several folds on the three ministers.
The notes submitted by Dali Siqing, Criminal Ministry Shangshu, and Wei Yuan were surprisingly consistent, as if copying homework from each other, and the answers were wrong.
Yuan Jing imperially shot the table straight.
Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry said ashamed: "Your Majesty, there are many suspicious points in this case, and the fog is heavy, and the minister has tried his best. Please allow a few more days of grace."
The Dali Temple Qing said: "Weird ministers are not capable enough, so I ask the old man to return home."
"You..." Emperor Yuan Jing waved his hand, sweeping the folding paper, pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table to the ground, shaking with anger:
"I am going to kill you."
The three ministers knelt down immediately and shouted: "We are not sorry for the death of the minister, your majesty take care of the dragon."
Is this the right line?
Emperor Yuanjing exploded.
The ministers on both sides watched their noses, their noses watched their hearts, and stopped talking to those who had always liked to talk to Wei Yuan.
Of course, this case still needs to be dealt with, but the opinions of the parties have not been unified yet. The prince's faction is thinking about how the prince will get rid of crime.
The other factions are thinking about which of the princes will be the future prince if the prince is abolished.
There are different ideas, but one thing everyone defaults is to drag things off for a while. The death of Concubine Fu is not important, what is important is the dispute over the country's origin after this case.
It would be a **** storm like Jingcha.
All parties need to spend time to consider, stand in line, and arrange.
Like this kind of situation where the courts have the same purpose, even Emperor Yuan Jing can only furious incompetently, unless he doesn't want the truth and abolishes the prince on the spot... But most of it will be rejected by the cabinet.
"Your Majesty, don't be impatient, the minister has something to report." Wang Shoufu came out, lightly exposing the Fu concubine case for the time being, and said:
"As far as Weichen knows, Xu Qi'an, the gong that beats the people's yamen, did not die. He was resurrected yesterday. Please withdraw the title of his majesty."
In the imperial study room, the whispers of ministers sounded.
The gong surnamed Xu is still alive? Dali Siqing and Xingbu Shangshu are in a mixed mood.
Emperor Yuan Jing was stunned for a moment, and angered, looked at Wei Yuan, and said in a deep voice: "Wei Qing, are the words of the first assistant true?"
"It's true." Wei Yuan Zuoyi.
Immediately, one of them appeared in the matter and said loudly: "Zhang Xingying lied to report the case, deceived your Majesty, please convict your Majesty."
Emperor Yuan Jing ignored him, looked at Wei Yuan, and continued to ask: "Why?"
"Xu Qi'an did not die. Before the deadly battle with the rebels, he took Sitianjian's bodily pill. After exhaustion, he entered a state of suspended animation. He didn't wake up until yesterday. Zhang Xingying mistakenly thought that Xu Qi'an was killed, and he is not to blame." Yuan explained.
Baotaiwan.... When Emperor Yuan Jing heard it, he felt as if he had eaten a fly.
At the beginning, he was like a supervisor begging for the medicine, but the supervisor refused to give it, saying that it was gone.
But now, a gong in a mere district has actually got the panacea he couldn't ask for.
"How did he get this medicine." The corner of Yuan Jing's mouth twitched.
"Given from Chu Caiwei of Sitianjian." Wei Yuan replied.
Emperor Yuan Jing pondered for a few seconds, then slowly nodded: "The appointment of the nobility has been withdrawn. Also, with the gong Xu Qi'an, come and see me quickly."
Wei Yuan nodded calmly and said: "Yes."
........
Xu Qi'an received the summons and hurried to the palace before noon. After being confirmed by Yu Linwei, he was put into the palace.
In the city gate, Da Tsing Yi stood with her hand in her hand, waiting for a long time, and Nangong Qianrou stood beside her.
Xu Qi'an hurried up to meet him and shouted: "Weigong."
Wei Yuan nodded: "Your Majesty summoned you for the case of Concubine Fu." After a pause, he said meaningfully: "The ensignment has been withdrawn."
It's really withdrawn. This news has been sent out for three days. This can also be withdrawn. It's not abiding by the rules... Xu Qi'an complained inwardly and said:
"I understand."
As Wei Yuan came to the Imperial Study Room, Emperor Yuan Jing was away, and the old **** in python said: "Your Majesty is in Lingbaoguan, meditating with the national teacher, and he will come back in the afternoon. Let's wait."
This wait is an hour.
.......
Lingbaoguan, after finishing meditation, the energetic Emperor Yuan Jing opened his eyes and sighed: "Guo Shi, when can I form a golden pill?"
Under the Taoist robe, it is difficult to hide the plump figure, Luo Yuheng, who has a full-faced appearance, closed his eyes, and his voice is sweet and magnetic: "When will your majesty let go of government affairs and concentrate on cultivating Taoism, the golden core is just around the corner."
Emperor Yuan Jing stared at the beautiful Taoist aunt in front of her. Her features were gorgeous and she had a fascinating charm. The little cinnabar on her eyebrows made her look like a fairy.
Fairies who can desecrate.
Emperor Yuan Jing sighed again. In fact, he only needs double repairs and he can go further. However, even if he is the prince of a country, he can't force the leader of the human sect.
Not to mention that the opponent is a second-rank master, even if force can be suppressed, but the matter of double cultivation requires the cooperation of the two people's minds and cannot be forced.
"When will the national teacher enter the first rank?" Emperor Yuan Jing asked.
Luo Yuheng shook his head slightly.
"Well, I can't see through the mind of the supervisor. I asked him for the bodily pill that day, but he didn't give it. I didn't expect that today I learned that a small gong can enjoy it. The panacea."
Luo Yuheng opened his eyes and asked curiously: "Tong Gong?"
Emperor Yuan Jing waved his hand: "This person is not worth mentioning~IndoMTL.com~ I will go back to the palace first, and I will come back to meditate with the national teacher tomorrow."
He drove back to the palace, and received the news that Xu Qi'an had been waiting in the royal study room, but he still did not pass immediately. After a delicate bath, he finally arrived late.
In the Imperial Study Room.
Xu Qian said in a loud voice: "See your majesty in a humble position."
Emperor Yuan Jing stared at him sharply, did not mention the birth pill, nor praised the gong's contribution to Yunzhou, and said straightforwardly:
"A few days ago, Concubine Fu fell to the pavilion and died. There is something hidden behind this case. I will give you three days to find out the case. Otherwise, we will severely punish you."
Xu Qi'an immediately made an effort, bends over at ninety degrees, and yells: "Please give me your death."
.......

Change first and then change.
