The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort - 247. Literati

Mo Cong shook the fan, and Xiao Chong’er’s fan pendant was made lifelike and full of interest. He also casually said as if talking about the family: “You are the master of the thirteenth, and the third sister-in-law and the thirteenth are sincere and kind. , So Sansao asked you for help, in fact, it is to ask you to help His Royal Highness Thirteen. Even for His Highness Thirteen’s sake, you won’t refuse.”

Liu Min’s heart was shocked. Jiang Ruan helped him at first, but because of his own rudeness, the two of them were even more divided than strangers. There has never been a helper for no reason in the world. Liu Min always knew in his heart that Jiang Ruan must have helped him for a reason, then…is that the reason now?

He seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly asked: “Did Princess Jinying found it?”

“No.” Mo Cong shook his head: “Now His Royal Highness Thirteen can’t get out. There is a turbidity outside, and there is no reassurance when she moves up and down. This is something that Sansao had expected before the accident, and she even had an accident. She also expected that she had confessed that before the accident, if something happened, she must come to the Taifu for help.”

An inexplicable feeling surged in Liu Min’s heart. Did Jiang Ruan trust him so much? This thing to do now must be very important. Jiang Ruan trusted him so much… Liu Min was a principled person. Even when he was an official in the court, he never violated his principles. Therefore, everyone knows that he is the most upright. But Liu Min knew long ago that Jiang Ruan was not a good person, and some of her methods were even very insidious. Now this matter is probably not an upright thing.

But that hesitation was only a moment, and soon Liu Min said, “Okay.”

This time it was Mo Cong’s turn to be surprised. Today, he was entrusted to find Liu Min. In fact, there is no bottom in his heart, because everyone knows that Liu Min’s temper in the court is the most stubborn. Even if he knew that Liu Min had such an unusual affection for Jiang Ruan, Liu Min would never be someone who betrayed his principles because of personal affair. Mo Cong thought for a while to persuade Liu Min. He didn’t want Liu Min to agree so simply, but he was surprised. Then he hesitated for a while, and then smiled and asked, “Tao Fu Liu, you must not frame me, is your answer sincere?”

“I know what you are worrying about,” Liu Min looked at him and said, “I’m serious about this matter.”

“Why?” Mo Cong also put away his smile on his face, and said: “If you are a human being, you won’t agree to it so easily.”

“Knowing the kindness of the encounter, repaying the grass.” Liu Min said lightly.

Mo Cong looked at him thoughtfully, as if it took a long time before he understood the meaning of Liu Min’s words, he nodded and said: “Okay, I believe you too. It’s just that there are so many people in the palace, today night. , I will take you to meet someone.” After saying this, Mo Cong patted Liu Min on the shoulder again in a comforting manner, and left without stopping. Outsiders looked at it, and it was just like Mo Congluyu Liu Min, who had a depressed expression, just a few words of comfort in the past based on the old fellowship.

After Mo Cong walked for a long time, Liu Min looked at his palm blankly. What is it that you can help yourself to do? He knows Jiang Ruan’s ability. Now this situation is not good for Jiang Ruan. She is really capable of turning the tide, and the hand she wants to borrow is her own hands. Can she really do it as an incompetent scholar? ? Liu Min slowly clenched his fists, the blankness in his eyes gradually began to fade, and there was a trace of firmness in his expression. In any case, he has to give it a try.

That night, Liu Min changed into a brown coarse linen. In addition to the official robes, he always made clothes made by his own mother. In the end, it was more delicate and decent. Now wearing a linen, he seems to have returned to the original. When I was a poor student, I felt a lot of emotion in my heart.

Compared to how many pairs of glasses other people stare at outside the house, Liu Min is absolutely safe. First, he is a Taifu with no real power in his hands. Second, his temperament is obvious to all, and it is impossible to collude with anyone. People come and go alone, there is no threat at all, and Liu Min goes out by himself, but there is no place worth tracking at all.

He came to a remote tavern with a back hall and a separate room on the second floor of the back hall. When Fang walked to the door of the room, he saw Mo Cong waiting outside, his eyes lit up, and he said, “You come here. It’s done, let’s go in.”

Liu Min didn’t know who was inside, so he was pushed forward by Mo Cong. Mo Cong said, “Three brothers, fourth brothers, people have already arrived, I will go out first.” The sleeves shut the door without waiting for Liu Min to say anything.

Liu Min then raised his eyes to look at the person sitting in the room.

The room was not spacious or small, it was just like an ordinary tavern room, with one person sitting at the table and the other standing by the window. The person sitting at the table was dressed in a purple dress with a handsome face. He looked familiar, but he couldn’t remember where he had seen him. Seeing what he looked like, he got up and said to Liu Min, “Ms. Liu Fu.”

As soon as his decent gesture came out, Liu Min remembered. This man was also a colleague of the court, Qi Feng, of moderate grade, and did not enter the palace for many years. Liu Min had been seldom seen when he saw him. . Moreover, Qi Feng always had a small beard in the past, which looked quite distinctive. Who knew that a beard was cut now, and Liu Min didn’t recognize it. He also replied, saying: “Master Qi.” After he said that, he looked at the man in front of the window again.

This person, Liu Min, is very familiar. He only wears a black gold brocade robe. He is tall and straight. He is leaning against the window and looking down and playing with a dagger in his hand. His features are exquisitely beautiful. Who is it if it is not Xiao Shao?

Liu Min suddenly remembered some old things in his heart. He had also met Xiao Shao. When he first entered the court as an official, he had already heard about Xiao Shao’s deeds from the crowd. Naturally, I knew that Jinying Palace was the home of rebellious officials and thieves. Later, when I saw that Jiang Ruan and Xiao Shao had an entanglement, I also persuaded Jiang Ruan, hoping that she would not let herself in. In fact, in the end, his words did not play any role, and even at that time, it was already clear that Jiang Ruan and Xiao Shao had a very close relationship, and I was afraid that they were already old acquaintances.

Liu Min always had a mixed feeling about Xiao Shao. He knew that the emperor trusted this person, but he was a little skeptical of this person, but later saw that Xiao Shao treated Jiang Ruan sincerely, as if he was unwilling to take care of him. Broke up. But even so, in front of this young man, he still gave birth to a kind of embarrassment, that was the embarrassment of facing a winner.

Xiao Shao didn’t look at Liu Min. He focused on playing with the dagger in his hand, as if he was only focusing on doing himself. But after a serious look, he felt that he didn’t look at the dagger at all, and there was nothing in his eyes. .

Qi Feng coughed slightly and interrupted Liu Min’s gaze. He smiled and said, “Ms. Liu, please sit down.”

Liu Min retracted his thoughts. Seeing that Qi Feng didn’t mean to call Xiao Shao, he understood that this was just a conversation between the two of them, at least not directly communicating with Xiao Shao, and he was relieved for some reason. Immediately he sat down and looked up at the purple-clothed man in front of him: “You asked me to come over?”

“Exactly.” Qi Feng smiled slightly, and he raised the teapot on one side and poured a cup of tea for Liu Min: “Don’t be surprised, I told you before I came to Mo Cong. I asked Mrs. Liu to come over. There is nothing to hide. Seeking each other.” After a pause, he continued: “And this matter was brought up by the third wife of the house.”

Liu Min looked still, but couldn’t help being a little surprised. She was not very familiar with Qi Feng, but she also knew that Qi Feng was as inconspicuous as his official position in the court. Such a person would even affect the overall situation. Without the power of, naturally it will not be in the eyes of the people who have won the dynasty. Who knows that Qi Feng’s statement not only shows the relationship with Mo Cong and Jinying Palace, but also reveals a message that Qi Feng himself is not a simple person.

Such a not-so-simple person, who has been in the middle of the court, but has not moved for many years, endures to be a moderate official position, is there any purpose in this? Liu Min is not a nerd who is studying hard. He has also heard about usurping power in the past, and he can’t help but feel a little surprised. Isn’t it… Xiao Shao wants to become a king on his own?

Jinying Prince’s Mansion has always been known as a rebellious courtier and thieves. But if this is the case, Liu Min has already made up his mind that even Jiang Ruan will not succeed. He will never help him become an accomplice of usurping power.

Seeing Liu Min’s face getting more and more ugly, Qi Feng seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and smiled: “Does Mrs. Liu know what the current situation is in the court?” Before Liu Min could speak, he took care of himself. Self said: “Your Majesty died suddenly, the Empress Dowager is already in her advanced age, and the country cannot be ruled out for a day. The master of this world will one day sit in her seat. Now there are only two princes, the eighth and thirteen. , These two are equally equal.”

Liu Min said coldly: “What do you want to say?” The meaning of Qi Feng’s words is clearly to discuss with him the question of the king of the Dajin Dynasty. If this is a big treason, Liu Min can almost conclude that Qi Feng will follow. What I want to say must be related to Duodi. Thinking of this, he glanced at Xiao Shao who was leaning against the window again, and he couldn’t help but feel angry. Xiao Shao thought like this, but he had thought about where to put Jiang Ruan. If a beautiful woman wants to live in the world, she would be easy to provoke right and wrong by accident. At the beginning, Jiang Ruan gained a reputation for climbing high branches because of Xiao Shao. Now Xiao Shao does this, but she wants that woman to be criticized by the world and harm the country. The enchantress is not? If you marry someone else, why don’t you take good care of it? Why do you waste it so much?

Qi Feng smiled slightly and said: “I want to know what Liu Taifu meant, His Highness Thirteen and His Highness Eight, from the eyes of Taifu Liu, who seems to be the future prince of the Dajin Dynasty?”

Liu Min said: “This matter can’t be tolerated by placing the beak underneath.” Where is the royal concubine, where can he be allowed to speak? What’s more, now Liu Min is full of vigilance with Qi Feng, that is, every word Qi Feng said, Liu Min must carefully scrutinize.

“Taipei Liu is a refreshing person, but with Liu Taifu’s status and official position, it is not difficult to be a moderate man. But for the people in the world, whoever wants to make a big cause, whoever is talented? As a courtier, assisting the emperor is his duty and a long-cherished wish in his life. Taifu Liu never thought that he would assist the emperor and accompany the emperor to watch the prosperous country every day, and do more for the common people?”

Qi Feng’s eloquence is never bad, especially good at admonishing people’s ideas. Liu Min was talented. Although he was appreciated by the first emperor at the time, the position of Tai Fu, after all, had no real power, and he could not be the master of political affairs in the country. When Liu Min entered the DPRK as an official, he used his own power to change the unfairness in his eyes. But now it seems that he hasn’t lived up to what he had originally thought. Qi Feng’s remarks are not so much a promise as a reminder. He is reminding: Don’t forget the original intention, have you ever done it?

Liu Min said, “So what? The world, let it go, is your majesty’s decision, and it is not mine alone. As for assisting the emperor, no matter where I am, I will worry about the temple.”

“Well said,” Qi Fenglang laughed, and said: “Then Taifu Liu has such a low profile in his heart, so naturally he should also have an idea. Who is in the hands of this world, right? I’ll ask Mrs. Liu In a word, after following His Highness the Thirteenth as the master for so long, do you think that His Highness the Thirteen can be responsible for this world?”

Liu Min thought that what Qi Feng said was just to mention Xiao Shao’s superior. Now when he mentions Xuan Pei, he is just waiting for him to say something about Xiao Shao when he was young. In order to prevent Qi Feng from succeeding, Liu Min immediately said: “Naturally, the thirteen princes are among the dragons and phoenixes, who are agile and smart, and the young Fengyi will have a boundless future in the future.”

“Very good,” Qi Feng exclaimed: “I didn’t expect Mrs. Liu to be connected with my mind. Third brother, have you heard that? This is where in life does not meet, and there are destined people everywhere?” Qi Feng was right. Xiao Shao said.

Xiao Shao glanced at this side faintly, and did not answer Qi Feng’s words. On the contrary, Liu Min was startled when he heard the words. He didn’t expect that Qi Feng was going to say these words. Shouldn’t it be the next time that Xiao Shao should be mentioned? Why did he follow his own words suddenly, Liu Min rarely appeared a little sluggish, and asked suspiciously: “What?”

“Just as Mrs. Liu said,” Qi Feng said with a smile: “I also think that among the two princes today, His Highness Thirteen is even better, so I am determined to go to His Highness Thirteen. He is alone!”

This was a bit unexpected to Liu Min. He didn’t know what to say, so he looked at Qi Feng in a daze. Qi Feng suddenly changed his expression: “But now you and I know that the position of His Royal Highness Thirteen in the palace is really worrying. The general was also implicated innocently. Liu Taifu was a wise man. He believed in the innocence of General Jiang if he did not believe in others.”

This talked about Liu Min’s heart. If he was uncertain about Xuan Pei, it would be impossible for Jiang Xinzhi to murder the first emperor. When the Dajin Dynasty sent troops to attack the Tianjin Kingdom, how Jiang Xinzhi escaped from the dead and brought all the soldiers to fight bravely is obvious to all. The young general relied on his bloody feats to come up step by step. Fighting for his own life. Unlike other literati, Liu Min does not despise the vulgarity of the generals, but has a deep worship for this kind of heroic military that he can’t reach. In Liu Min’s mind, Jiang Xinzhi was an upright and courageous general. Such a general with a glorious wind could not poison the first emperor. Obviously, this matter was dragging Jiang Xinzhi into the water.

The purpose of dragging Jiang Xinzhi into the water was naturally to drag Xuanpei into the water. Who in the palace hates Xuan Pei the most? Who else is besides Xuan Li, so naturally, Xuan Li is the one behind the scenes. Precisely because of this, Liu Min actually doesn’t think much of Xuanli’s act of stabbing people behind his back, not to mention that he and Xuanpei have a friendship between teachers and students. Pei on this side.

“I believe in General Jiang.” Liu Min said, just a word that showed his attitude.

“The General Mansion is the eldest brother of Sansao, and we naturally believe in him.” Qi Feng smiled: “But now it seems that Taifu Liu is also on the side of His Highness Thirteen. In other words, Taifu Liu and us are The same person.”

Liu Min was completely clear when he heard this. It turned out that the purpose of this group of people was not to push Xiao Shao to the top. There is only one person they support, and there is Xuan Pei. But now that these people came over, he was very clear about what he had done, and he was also drawn to Xuan Pei’s camp. Liu Min couldn’t help but want to smile. What’s the use of his position? What’s the use of pulling him into this camp? You must know that he is just a literati who has no power to restrain the chicken, and he is a master of no real power. Even if he personally intercedes for Xuanpei in front of Dowager Yide, what he says is meaningless, so he can use anything. No, these people took a lot of effort to pull him in, wouldn’t it be in vain?

“I’m indeed on the side of His Royal Highness Thirteen,” Liu Min said: “However, no matter where I stand, it will be useless and will not have any effect on the final outcome, so you can only worry too much. If you expect me to change anything, I’m sorry.” At the end, Liu Min couldn’t help but glanced at Xiao Shao. On the surface, these words were meant to be heard by Qi Feng, rather than meant for Xiao Shao. Qi Feng obviously listened to Xiao Shao’s words, and Qi Feng’s wining today is actually what Xiao Shao meant. Liu Min felt a little awkward, but what he said was indeed the truth.

“No,” Qi Feng said: “You are wrong. Mrs. Liu is really arrogant. Not only is you not useless, on the contrary, you are very useful. Without you, I am afraid this will not happen. If it is the next thirteenth Your Royal Highness really is in charge of the country. Without you, the great cause would be difficult to entrust.”

Hearing this, Liu Min couldn’t help showing a hint of surprise. Qi Feng’s words were nothing but shocking, but he really couldn’t figure out what else he could do. He couldn’t help but say to Qi Feng: “I’m just a master. …”

“Before Taifu, you were a literati first.” Qi Fengsu said: “In this world, everything is unstoppable. Idealism and speech are unstoppable. Before Taifu, Liu Taifu was a literati and won the champion. Literati. At the beginning, an article provoked your majesty’s favor, and the people in the world took you as an example. You are the yardstick in the minds of the literati. Perhaps Liu Taifu himself did not realize that the Taifu may be nothing in the court, but in In the minds of literati, you are more important than any prime minister, because you are their role model.”

Liu Min was stunned. No one had ever said something to him. At the beginning, Hanchuang studied hard, but he wanted to change his situation and the situation of people like himself in the world, but then he really read the book. But he found that everything was not as simple as he thought. He can change his life, but there are thousands of people in the world, he is the savior wherever he is, but he can do nothing, he is just a teacher of the emperor. But this Qi Feng said that he is a ruler in the hearts of the people below the sky? This… why is it so ridiculous?

“Just as a military commander worships Guan Gong, there is no Guan Gong in this world, so it is natural to worship the most prestigious person in the dynasty. Taifu Liu, how many champions have come out of this Dajin Dynasty, but who is like you? The promotion is so fast, and it comes from a poor family, and it is appreciated by your majesty. In your eyes, this may not be commendable, but you must know that everything you have, some people can’t get it in your life, what you have is already Enough to make many people envious.”

Liu Min didn’t speak, his heart was gradually beginning to agree with Qi Feng’s words. Qi Feng smiled slightly, stood up suddenly, and said to Liu Min upright: “Tao Fu Liu, what you want you to do now can change the situation in the country and save hundreds of people. You have to use it. With the power of your own literati, to change the current Zhenlong chess game, what you have to do is much bigger than you think. What do you want, do you… dare?”

Qi Feng’s face was solemn, and even Liu Min felt Qi Feng’s serious words, his heart couldn’t help but sink slightly, Qi Feng actually paid such a big gift, it seems that this matter must be very important. But Qi Feng’s remarks seemed to touch something in Liu Min’s heart. When he was a young boy, he also looked forward to the vigorous appearance of one day when he lashed out at Fang Qiu. The enthusiasm was eroded in the day-to-day official journey, and now he had a chance to fulfill his childhood dream. Liu Xin felt a little cold on his body, but the hot blood under his skin screamed and almost pointed to an answer.

He slowly stood up, gave Qi Feng a salute, and whispered, “Naturally.”

Xiao Shao didn’t know when he had already turned around, his dagger had already been retracted into his sleeve, and he stood with his hand behind him, looking at Liu Min quietly. Qi Feng slowly stretched his hand into his arms, took out something, put his hands on Liu Min’s hand, he didn’t say anything, Liu Min was slightly startled, and when he looked down, he shook suddenly. This thing , The feeling of this tentacle… He slowly opened the thing in his hand with an unbelievable mood, his hand was still a little trembling, when it was fully expanded and saw the full picture of the thing in his hand, he couldn’t help but cried out. :”how come……”

He suddenly understood what Qi Feng meant and why Qi Feng would say that he has such great power. Indeed, this thing is not as powerful as it can be placed in anyone’s hands. But… how come? He looked at Qi Feng in surprise and suspicion, and the black-clothed youth standing behind Qi Feng. The two of them didn’t say anything, Qi Feng’s eyes were entrusted, and Xiao Shao’s expression remained the same as before, faint, as if nothing in the world could be reflected in his eyes.

“Tao Fu Liu, it’s hard work.” Qi Feng said solemnly.

Liu Min finally came back to his senses after a long period of frustration. Finally, he couldn’t help but ask: “Is she arranged for this matter?”

This “she” refers naturally to Princess Jiang Ruan of Jinying, Xiao Shao and Qi Feng understood, Xiao Shao said nothing, Qi Feng smiled helplessly: “Exactly.”

Liu Min closed her eyes. She was really bold. It turned out that all of this was in her control. From this point of view, her life and death are uncertain now. It should be just a scene. She should be safe. She is so smart… …Liu Min breathed a sigh of relief. I don’t know why. At this moment, there is no feeling of being deceived. He just sighs. This woman is so heart-hearted and has great wisdom in her heart. She calmly plays with the whole country. Amidst the applause, it’s a pity… to be boarded first.

Liu Min put away the reverie in his heart, holding the thing in both hands and nodding towards Qi Feng, “We must do our best.”

“Thank you.” Qi Feng smiled slightly and looked out the window: “It is not convenient to stay here for a long time. Please go back to the house first, Mrs. Liu. This thing will stay here for the time being. The time is right and he will naturally give it to you. Mrs. Liu is a wise man and knows how to do it, so I won’t be scheming anymore.”

Liu Min nodded slightly again. Qi Feng knocked on the table. Mo Cong, who had been eavesdropping outside for a long time, broke into the door and said with a grin, “It’s okay. I’ll send Mrs. Liu downstairs. Several secret guards protected Liu Taifu’s safety.”

After Mo Cong and Liu Min left, Qi Feng sighed. The confident expression on his face immediately disappeared without a trace. Xiao Shao walked to the table and sat down. Qi Feng looked at him and said, “It’s really true to deal with this person. Hard work, I was really afraid that he would refuse.”

No matter how calm and calm the appearance is, only Qi Feng himself knows how difficult it is to persuade a stubborn person. But he didn’t expect Liu Min to agree so readily. Qi Feng was also slightly surprised. If he didn’t believe in the character of the master, he really wanted to doubt whether there was any conspiracy in it.

Xiao Shao looked down at the tea cup in front of him, did not speak, Qi Feng glanced at it, thought for a while, and suddenly said: “Are you jealous? Are you jealous? That Liu Taifu is so happy today should have been watching Sansao. Why are you not happy about Sansao’s face?”

Xiao Shao is a strong man in his bones, and anyone who sees his wife being missed by a strange man will never feel better, especially Xiao Shao who is possessive. After being serious, Qi Feng couldn’t help but rush into his narrow thoughts. He wanted to make fun of Xiao Shao. Who made Xiao Shao always cold his face during this period of time, it was a lot of pressure.

“Many talk.” Xiao Shao whispered.
