MTL - Raising Wolves-v2 Chapter 63

The arrest of Wei Herong not only caused a sensation in the entire Yanjing and the court and the opposition.

The news quickly spread out, heading towards Mobei, Shuzhong, and King Jing.

The originally glorious Weifu was sealed, and all the servants in the Fuzhong were imprisoned, pending review.

In addition, there was a well-covered carriage that hurried to the outskirts of the city in a low-key manner that night and knocked on the door of Yunfeng Temple.

Lu Qing's behavior in entering the palace was no less than throwing himself into the net. Under Ning Juan's eyes, he entered the palace and wanted to leave the palace to return to the palace. Naturally, it was impossible, and he was left behind.

When he entered the palace, Lu Qing guessed that he lay flat and did not struggle. He just arrested Wei Herong today, and there were too many follow-up matters to explain. Seeing Ning Juan's study coming and going, he was sitting next to him wrapped in His Majesty's clothes. Going up, how strange it looked, he got up and wanted to take off the robe that Ning Lian had wrapped around him: "I'm going to take a bath and change into clothes."

It was raining and the clothes inside were wet and uncomfortable.

Ning Juan held him down without raising his eyelids, and said displeasedly, "Don't take it off, what if you catch a cold? I ordered the kitchen to make some medicine, and the teacher will come and drink it later."

Lu Qing responded lazily. He didn't want to get sick, so he simply put on a mask and walked out wrapped in clothes.

When he was about to walk to the door, a low voice of the young man came from behind: "Next time if something happens to the teacher, you can tell me directly and don't let yourself hurt again."

He will be unhappy.

Did the kid find it?

Lu Qing paused slightly, stepped out of the study without saying a word.

Knowing that it was useless to enter the palace with an umbrella in the fine autumn rain, he still didn't ask anyone to prepare a carriage.

Half intentional, half unintentional.

The last few words Wei Herong said in his ear really made him think a lot.

Leaving the South Study Room, Lu Qing happened to bump into Feng Ge Lao and others who came to see him.

Several people saw him wrapped in Ning Juan's robe, glanced up and down with strange eyes, and were surprised: "Master Lu, you are..."

Lu Qing pursed his pale lips and coughed a few times: "It's raining a bit, Your Majesty is worried that I will catch a cold."

The elders of Feng Ge suddenly realized that Lord Lu's glass-like fragile body, who did not know about the civil and military affairs of the court, quickly turned sideways to make way for him, fearing that he would be left here and catch the cold, and he would fall ill again when he turned around.

Seeing that the Guardian Party is about to be removed, the most powerful person in the next court has already fainted.

His Majesty is also very concerned.

Whether it's true or false, in short, don't offend Lu Qingze right now.

Seeing that the mess had passed, Lu Qing quickly slipped away.

When Lu Qing came back after washing away the cold, the night was already deep, and the ministers gathered in the south study also went down, temporarily empty.

In his hand, Ning Juan was holding the paper handed in by Zhang Zhengyao, which was drawn and detained by Pan Jingmin.

Lu Qing glanced at him: "Pan Jingmin's move this time?"

Ning Juan nodded: "Yes, not only Wei Herong, but also others."

Detained alone in the prison, Pan Jingmin, who was squeezed all night by the growing suspicion, finally couldn't hold it any longer. He recruited not only Beijing officials, but also many local officials.

Zheng Yao has to take people around again.

"Teacher, look at this again." Ning Juan handed over a secret letter.

Lu Qing leaned against the desk, glanced at him, and raised his eyebrows: "How could someone surrender so quickly?"

It was a secret letter submitted by members of the Guardian Party.

In addition to exposing a few accomplices, it also tells an old story, saying that Wei Herong once colluded with the Tartars, and his intentions were wrong, and I hope Your Majesty will punish Yunyun severely.

The meaning is very simple, I want to seal Wei Herong's mouth as soon as possible, lest he say anything.

After reading it, Lu Qing said categorically, "Impossible."

Ning Juan raised his eyebrows: "The teacher is so certain?"

"Even if Wei Herong rebels, he will not collude with foreigners."

Although the only in-depth conversation with Wei Herong was at the Ministry of Officials, just a short tea time before Wei Herong was about to be arrested, but Lu Qing was very sure of this: "The Wei Palace has been inspected, Your Majesty You can send someone to search the Weifu and find evidence. Wei Herong is indeed guilty, but he shouldn't be charged with trumped-up charges."

Seeing his serious expression, Ning Juan thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Teacher is right, I will send someone to check carefully."

Lu Qing picked up a cup of hot tea and warmed his slightly cool fingers: "Wei Herong went to prison, and the hearts of the Wei Party are almost broken. Today the first one to send a secret letter appeared, and tomorrow there will be the second one. One, they are used to being intimidating over the years, and none of them have clean hands, they are afraid of being liquidated by you, trapped beasts are still fighting, and birds are pecked when they are poor, so be careful."

The warm yellow candlelight is bright, and his face is also outlined softly.

Ning Juan stared at him and nodded with a smile, "Yes."

Lu Qing lowered his eyes and sipped his tea, only pretending he didn't notice his scorching gaze, his clear voice said slowly: "I heard that Fan Wei once worshipped Wei Herong as his adoptive father, and now Wei Herong is in prison, but he has not moved, so he must pay special attention. lest things change."

Fan Wei also had to solve it.

When the rest of the guards are in their arsenal, not only the imperial court, but also the three battalions must be rectified, the leaders of the three battalions must be cleaned up, and they will regain power.

Ning Juan was busy, so he could take advantage of this time to make some plans for himself.

That night, the South Study Room was still extraordinarily lively.

The posts such as the Imperial Court's Sacrificial Wine and the Minister of Officials were vacated, and Ning Juan didn't even think about it. All of them were assigned to Lu Qingze's head, only saying that it was a temporary replacement.

He wanted to give Lu Qingze the best.

At the moment, there is no competent person to be found for a while, so Lu Qing had to temporarily take the position.

When Lu Qing was out of the palace, he seemed to have been plated with several layers of gold. For a time, the Lu Mansion was crowded, and there were many people who wanted to make friends.

For two consecutive days of the early morning, people kept being taken away.

They had been quiet for half a month before, and they were not at ease. They had been anxious and waited with bated breath for the little emperor to make another move. They didn't expect such a blow. The fire not only burned the eyebrows, but also the top of the head. bald.

A group of people hurriedly got together again to discuss what to do.

Wei Herong has been brought into the prison. Among the remaining guards, the highest-ranking ones are a patriarch surnamed Yuan and a patriarch surnamed Fei, both of whom were brought up by Wei Herong. .

Xu Ge Lao, who prides himself on his seniority and likes to urge His Majesty to marry, is not a Guardian Party. Wei Herong is almost two rounds younger than him. How could Xu Ge Lao be willing to respect him as the head.

Although he has stood on one side over the years, he has not had too many interests involved. When he saw that the situation was not right, Xu Ge Lao immediately drew a clear line with the Guardian Party.

Yuan Gelao and Fei Gelao have been under Wei Herong for many years, and their abilities are not too outstanding, but they are easy to use - Wei Herong is too lazy to put too many smart people in the cabinet, it is enough for people to be obedient and useful.

The slightly smarter Fei Ge was taken away this morning.

Yuan Ge has always followed Wei Herong's lead. He couldn't come up with any good ideas for a while, so he scratched his scalp in panic: "Can you all get in touch with Commander Fan?"

Anyone can betray Wei Herong, but Fan Wei will never.

When he entered the palace to capture the eunuch, Fan Wei was slashed a few times by the **** for Wei Herong, almost losing half his life.

However, the others shook their heads.

Fan Wei was violent and arrogant, and he always looked down on these civil servants. Except for Wei Herong, no one could command him.

But Wei Herong was arrested, Fan Wei didn't say anything? That was his adoptive father.

Cui Shilang, who had made a surprising statement before, looked around and said coldly: "Everyone, now is the time of life and death, don't forget the massacre in Jiangyou, the little emperor has always been ruthless, no one will think that he will Let go of anyone."

The surroundings suddenly fell silent.

Thinking of the news from Jiangyou, everyone shuddered.

On that day, the little emperor sent Zheng Yao to arrest dozens of officials. The list in his hand was like a book of life and death. If a name was crossed out, a head would be dropped. The letter contained only the understatement of the words "Blood in the Courtyard", but a little Thinking about it carefully, it seems that you can smell the strong rust-like **** smell.

Will they be one of them too?

Nobody wants to die.

They spent the first half of their lives studying hard and fighting for power and profits, not for the sake of losing their heads in the second half of their lives.

Seeing that everyone was staring at him in silence, Cui Shilang said slowly: "So, what do you think about my previous proposal?"

Yuan Ge couldn't help but said, "I can't get in touch with Commander Fan right now. Is it possible that Cui Shilang can conjure some people out of thin air?"

Cui Shilang smiled confidently: "Actually, before Wei Shoufu was arrested, I had sent a letter to the Fifth Army Camp, and received a reply from Commander Fan. He was willing to allocate manpower to help me wait, and sent a token, as long as If you dare to come with me, I will go to secondment."

Everyone who is not used to procrastination of major events, seeing such a dynamic person, looked at each other for a while, a little hesitant.

Accustomed to the comfortable life of being flattered wherever they go, they have long since lost the spirit of daring to fight against danger.

Cui Shilang cursed in his heart, grabbed a cup from the table off guard, and threw it to the ground.

Unexpectedly, the crisp sound of "pop" made everyone's heart skip a beat.

"Three days later, it will be Chongyang. At that time, the little emperor will bring hundreds of officials and go to the Wansui Mountain to ascend to the heights of worship." Cui Shilang looked at the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple and Taipu Siqing, "The little emperor has captured Wei Herong, When the spring breeze is complacent, the two are usually low-key, and they will definitely be able to put people in them."

It's just chasing people away.

The two ministers who were named looked at each other, finally gritted their teeth and nodded.

If you don't do it again, they may be the next one!

With one, others nodded.

Cui Shilang said: "At that time, the sound of broken jade will be used as the horn, and if you fail, you will become benevolent."

"If you don't succeed, you will become benevolent!"

As the words fell, everyone threw their cups, and in the crisp sound of breaking, they shouted together to show their determination.

After several autumn rains, the bleak autumn cold finally dyed Yanjing.

It was probably because he was drinking Xu Shukai's recipe, and going to General Shi Da's place to exercise from time to time. At this time of the year, even if he stayed at home, Lu Qing would have been ill for a few days and coughed intermittently. This year Busy around, people are good.

As soon as Xu Shu came back from Yunfeng Temple, Lu Qing asked about Xu Shu's trace from Ning Juan, and he took him to the Duke Wu's mansion without stopping.

With a sullen face, Dr. Xu scolded: "Is there any end? I just came back, even if it's a donkey pulling a mill, I have to rest for a few days!"

Lu Qing smiled with a good temper. When he finished cursing, he suppressed it with one sentence: "I'm going to see a doctor for General Shi, are you going?"

Who is General Shi?

In the entire Daqi, everyone who knows Shi Rongfeng's name will admire and admire him.

Xu Shu swallowed the next sentence that was about to be beeped, and couldn't help but raise the expectation of seeing his idol: "General Shi? Is it really General Shi?"

The speed of the face changing is fast, and Lu Qing said with a smile: "It's a true general."

Xu Shu immediately had no opinion.

Lu Qing saw that his face was indeed a little tired, and after thinking for a moment, he still asked, "You have been watching Weiqiao at Yunfeng Temple these days?"

Xu Shu nodded: "Wei Qiao is now in a coma for three days and two heads, and has very little time to wake up. He is too sick to be inseparable from others. Send him to the West. Even if the patient I suffered, even if he is about to die, I have to watch him die."

"..." Lu Qing was choked for three seconds by the sentence "Send someone to the west", "Does Wei Qiao know that Wei Herong has gone to prison?"

"It's not good for a dying person to know those things. I lied to him that he went to Yunfeng Temple to cultivate." Xu Shu touched his chin, "In the past in Weifu, Wei Herong seldom visited Weiqiao when he was sober. , I guess Wei Herong 80% didn't want him to know, so he didn't explain anything."

Lu Qing sighed in his heart and said lightly, "It's better not to know about this kind of thing than to know it."

The carriage arrived at the back door of Duke Wu's mansion, and the guards at the door saw that it was Lu Qingze, asked Xu Shu's identity, and let him go.

Stepping into the yard, Shi Rongfeng was proficiently communicating with Lin Xi in sign language. When he saw Lu Qingze coming, he greeted him warmly: "Huaixue is here? Xi Ce also mentioned that he wants to visit Lu Mansion to see you."

Lin Xi raised his head and saw Xu Shu, his eyes lit up, and he jumped up in surprise to say hello.

Master Lu didn't lie to him, and Doctor Xu really was fine!

Lu Qing bent his lips and introduced sideways: "General, this is the magic doctor I mentioned to you before."

Shi Rongfeng was stunned for a moment.

He had already told Lu Qingze clearly, but he didn't expect Lu Qingze to find someone for him.

He thought Lu Qingze had calmly accepted it.

Shi Rongfeng smiled and rubbed Lin Xi's head: "Go and practice the marksmanship that I taught you yesterday."

Lin Xi was not so obedient this time.

He was not stupid, he had already seen something from the attitudes of the people around him, but now that Xu Shu came, he stubbornly wanted to stay and listen to Shi Rongfeng's condition.

Xu Shu came out after staying in the Wei Mansion for a while, and the little mute who had been sick before changed his body and became the prince of Wu Guogong, and he was still a little confused. After guessing a few points, what's the use of hiding it? Instead of making him feel uneasy, and it is too late to prepare in a hurry, it is better to let him know the truth as soon as possible, so as to make plans for the future - the general should not understand this simple and obvious. reason."

General Shi gave him a moment of silence.

Although Xu Shu's words were not pleasant, they were simple and rude.

In the end, Shi Rongfeng sighed: "Forget it, let's come in together."

Xu Shu carefully checked Shi Rongfeng, while Lu Qing saw his face getting heavier and heavier, and he knew it.

After a long time, Xu Shu let go of Shi Rongfeng's wrist, and his sharp mouth was silent for a long time, and then he said with difficulty: "It is admirable that the general has been able to hold on until now."

Shi Rongfeng waved his hand indifferently: "What are you talking about?"

Xu Shu is indeed very talented in medicine, he can be called a genius, and he is also extremely arrogant. He always feels that it is not difficult to live with his own illness in the world.

But it was Wei Qiao first, then Shi Rongfeng, who made him feel a little bit of a blow, let out a breath, and said in a low voice, "The colder the weather is, the more the general will suffer from the pain. ."

Lin Xi listened to this sentence, and even though he had already guessed it, he still asked without any hope: What else?

Xu Shu could understand a little bit, shook his head and said, "Apart from that, I can't do anything else."

Shi Rongfeng was very calm: "How long can I last?"

"I try my best, maybe a year." Xu Shu paused, "Perhaps less than a year."

Lin Xi's eyes immediately turned red, and she tried her best to control herself, so she didn't cry in front of others.

Shi Rongfeng smiled satisfactorily: "Isn't this very good? It would be good for my father and son to spend more time together."

Lu Qing did everything he could. Seeing that Lin Xi's eyes were full of tears, he patted Xu Shu's shoulder: "I'll have to trouble you to run back and forth in the future, let's go, you go out and write a recipe, I should also Back to the staff."

Xu Shu never looked at the atmosphere again, and knew it was time to go, so he stepped out of the room with Lu Qingze.

Lu Qing leaned on the fence and folded his arms: "This is an eventful time."

Xu Shu glanced at him: "You are also a sick patient, don't think it's nothing to do with you, I'll look at your situation later."

Lu Qing is very confident: "I haven't been sick for more than half a month."

Xu Shu felt absurdly speechless, and opened his mouth to mock him, but seeing Lu Qing's self-confidence expression, he couldn't bear to destroy his self-confidence for a while, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "...you should be careful not to be sad."

I haven't been sick for half a month, what is it to be proud of?

You are still proud.

Xu Shu opened the crow's mouth, and the next day Lu Qing fell ill from the cold.

In the past few days, people have been taken away continuously. The front office is half empty, and the affairs are busy. The official documents of the Ministry of Personnel and Guozijian have been sent to the Lu House, and even if they are sick, they have to work.

When Ning Juan hurried to Lu Mansion, Lu Qing was still wearing a big cloak, sitting in the study while coughing and flipping through the official documents, his thin body wrapped in the cloak, his face was as pale as the moonlight pouring on the ice and snow.

He stepped into the study, he liked Lu Qingze's appearance, but was worried to death, and said sullenly: "Teacher can leave these things to the people below to handle them. If you are sick, you can rest well!"

Lu Qing didn't wonder why Ning Juan came again, and smiled: "I've been lying down for a long time, and I'm really bored, so I should relieve my boredom."

Ning Juan's face was a little heavy. He wanted to hand over power to Lu Qingze and give others a status of awe, but he didn't want him to bother, and wanted to hide him and see him alone, which was really contradictory.

Seeing that Ning Juan was unhappy with his face pulled and kept silent, Lu Qing put down his writing, couldn't help the itch in his throat, turned his head and coughed a few more times, his voice hoarse: "The dinner in the kitchen should be ready, Go back to the palace after you finish your meal, don't let me get sick."

The teacher is kicking him out again.

But seeing Lu Qing like this, Ning Juan didn't know whether to feel more distressed or more angry. He leaned over and hugged him angrily, gritted his teeth and said, "Am I afraid that you are a little sick?"

As he said that, he patted Lu Qingze's back lightly, seeing that he gradually stopped coughing, and did not let go of his hand, sticking to sit on a chair with him: "I heard that the teacher brought Xu Shu to see Shi Da. General?"

Lu Qing lifted his eyelids: "Does Your Majesty want to hear good results or bad results?"

Ning Juan pursed his lower lip: "What does the teacher say...what do you mean?"

If Shi Rongfeng died soon, he would be able to hand over his military power early, which would be a good result for Ning Juan.

If he could live for a long time, it would be unbearable for Ning Juan.

How can the imperial power tolerate the military power being left behind?

Lu Qingze's words rolled on the tip of his tongue, but he didn't spit it out in the end. He reached out and stroked Ning's tired head, with a soft tone: "Guoguo has grown into a qualified emperor."

Ning Juan couldn't help hugging him, rubbed his head against Lu Qingze's palm, sniffed the fragrant plum fragrance on the person in his arms, and the infatuation in his eyes barely concealed: "It was the teacher who accompanied me to this point."

Only in front of him, His Majesty the Emperor would show a little bit of youthful air, while Lu Qing touched his soft hair again, feeling complicated.

He believed that Ning Juan just went astray for a while.

It's normal to have some misunderstandings because Ning Juan is so attached to him these years.

When everything is settled, Ning Juan stands at the highest place in the world and looks down on his subjects, so there should be no more feelings that should not be there.

Duan Lingguang and Wei Herong's warnings may not come true.

This child is still full of sincerity towards him, but he thinks about the future for himself, and always feels that he has suffered a lot.

If Ning Juan knew, this would probably be a betrayal.

Ning Ruan hated being betrayed the most in his life.

Lu Qing pinched the tip of his brows and gently pushed away His Majesty the Emperor, who was clinging to him: "Are you being coquettish enough? You still squeeze in in such a small place, you won't be able to breathe if you hug me again, let go. ."

Seeing that his face was indeed pale again, Ning Jian reluctantly released him.

It's all because the chair is so narrow.

Lu Qing tapped his forehead: "Tomorrow, you are going to take Baisui officials to Baisui Mountain to climb the mountain for sacrifice. It is estimated that Wei Herong's remnants are waiting for you to give you a big gift, so don't delay."

Hearing this, Ning Wan laughed.

Although the corner of the boy's mouth was raised, his eyes were filled with icy murderous aura, like the darkest night in the deep winter: "Teacher, don't worry, I am well prepared to accept this great gift."

Presumably after tomorrow, the Guardians will be able to eliminate them together.

Lu Qing smiled, got up and said, "Let's go, I guess you're coming, let the kitchen prepare what you like."

After dinner, Lu Qing ignored Ning Juan's request to stay, and called You Wu directly, pushed Ning Juan into the carriage, and nodded slightly at him: "Take care of Your Majesty."

You Wu looked at his neat movements and opened his mouth wide: "...Yes."

His Majesty the emperor stuck out half of his head from the carriage window: "Teacher, rest early, and those official documents will not be in a hurry to deal with later."

Lu Qing waved his hand at will, turned around and went back to the study. After hesitating for a while, he still listened to Ning Juan, did not continue tossing himself, and drank the medicine and fell asleep early.

In the early morning of the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, Baiguan accompanied the emperor to the Baisui Mountain to perform sacrifices and pray for blessings.

When Lu Qing woke up, it was almost noon. After a sleep, his throat felt a lot more comfortable, but his head felt a lot more groggy.

Lu Qing finished his meal and drank the medicine, and continued to look through the official documents. He found that there were several mistakes in the documents sent by the officials yesterday. Shang Youwu, take him to the official office of the Ministry of Personnel.

The eastern part of the capital was mostly inhabited by princes and nobles and high-ranking ministers, and it was quite quiet at this time.

In the past, after passing two alleys and then crossing a long street, Lu Qing closed his eyes and thought about something in his heart. After a while, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

According to the usual speed, it's time to go to the street. Even if there are many people in Chongyang today, many people go to the suburbs to climb high, and the huge capital should not be so quiet.

You Wu, who was outside, also found the problem, and his voice suddenly tightened: "Master Lu, stay in the carriage and don't come out!"

Immediately after the sound of swords clashing, Lu Qing twisted his wrist, felt the arrow on his wrist, and thought for a moment calmly.

I thought that today Wei Herong's remnant party's eyes will be on Baisui Mountain, staring at Ning Juan, but I didn't expect to hit him on the head.

Thinking about it this way, after the accident in Herong's self-defense, he has been silent, and there should be only one person who will hit him on the head.

After a short while, the swords clashed with each other, but the carriage suddenly started running, several times faster than before.

The seat shook violently. Luckily, Lu Qing was well prepared. He didn't get thrown down by the sudden rush of horses, so he calmly asked, "How is You Wu?"

The people outside were silent.

Lu Qing leaned forward and opened the curtain: "Commander Fan, Lord Wei shouldn't want you to do this."

Just opened a corner, and he was handed a sword from his throat.

Fan Wei covered his face, held the reins in one hand, and gave him a cold look: "Shut up if you want to live."

Lu Qing closed his mouth calmly, and moved the sword between his two fingers.

This person is extremely vigilant and has strong martial arts skills. If he misses a single hit, he will be the one who will be unlucky.

The arrow in the sleeve is about surprises, and there are only three. He has few opportunities, so he has to find the right time.

Fan Wei kidnapping him must be in exchange for Wei Herong, and will not hurt his life.

Seeing this, Fan Wei's subordinates should all stay to hold You Wu back. You Wu sees that he has been kidnapped, so he doesn't know how to fight.

Lu Qing analyzed the situation clearly, pressed the arrow he was about to shoot, coughed weakly, and calmly returned to the carriage.

The author has something to say:

Lu Qingze (confident): I haven't been sick for more than half a month!

Ning Juan: ... the teacher is amazing! (applaud)
