Yinzhen stepped down from the throne and said in a friendly manner: "Liang Gong, you and I have known each other for many years. There is no one else here now. If you have anything, you can tell me."
Nian Gengyao was fine, he just had unspeakable dissatisfaction. I think he was guarding the border area of Xiguan and worked hard to put down the Luobu Zangdanjin rebellion. In the end, he only earned a third-class assistant to the Duke.
Yinzhen didn't even mention the title and king with a different surname, which really made him feel bad.
After barely calming down some of his resentment, he lowered his head and said, "If I return to the emperor, nothing will happen to me."
"That being the case, why didn't I talk to you so much just now? Or is it that I'm tired after traveling for more than a month?"
Yinzhen's words gave Nian Gengyao a good excuse. He followed Yinzhen's words and said: "As the emperor said, maybe it was because he fought for more than half a year and was eager to return to Beijing after the victory. There was no such thing as
I need to rest, so I always feel that something is not right with my body these days and I can’t feel energetic.”
"I know you are working hard." Yinzhen patted Nian Gengyao's shoulder hard and said: "Now that the rebellion has been put down, you don't need to rush back to the northwest. You can rest in Beijing and wait until you feel better. The northwest is bitterly cold and hard, I
You know, I am also considering whether to let you return to Beijing to take up a post."
Nian Gengyao was suddenly shocked. Returning to Beijing? He had never even thought about it. Now in the northwest, he was just like the local emperor.
When you arrive in the capital, you have to be under the emperor's nose all the time, and have officials watching over you. You have to be cautious everywhere. You can't be as carefree as you are in the northwest.
Thinking like this, Nian Gengyao said in a high-sounding way, "I also want to serve the emperor all the time. But now that the northwest has been settled, I am afraid that there will be remnants of the party to cause chaos. Instead of having another person to guard it, it is better."
I will stay there for a few more years, and then return to the capital to serve the emperor after the northwest has settled down."
Nian Gengyao's words of wholeheartedly caring for the country and the country made Yinzhen quite happy. He never doubted the true thoughts of his confidant and beloved general. He nodded and said: "Forget it, I will wrong you for a few more years and wait until you come back next time."
When you come to Beijing, I will grant you a first-class title!"
This is already an unparalleled honor for others, but in Nian Gengyao's view, it is far from enough. What he wants is a king with a different surname! A king with a different surname!
Perhaps even Ling Ruo, the instigator, did not expect that Wang with a different surname would actually become Nian Gengyao's inner demon, making him want to get it like crazy!
"I would like to thank the Emperor for your kindness!" Nian Gengyao gave an ugly smile, and then said, "I have one more thing to ask of the Emperor."
"What's the matter?" Yinzhen asked nonchalantly, but as Nian Gengyao spoke later, his expression gradually darkened.
"Reporting to the Emperor, I heard that the imperial concubine made a mistake for some reason and was demoted to Changli. Even the third elder brother was given to other empresses to raise. The imperial concubine is Wei Chen's most beloved sister, so Wei Chen was very uneasy after learning about this.
"The imperial concubine grew up under the supervision of the ministers. Although her temperament is a little arrogant, her nature is excellent. So I dare to think about it, is there any misunderstanding?"
After a moment of silence, Yinzhen could only be heard saying slowly: "Times have changed, and Su Yan is no longer the person you knew Liang Gong. Wrong, she has already admitted that there was no misunderstanding. She poisoned and murdered her."
The second elder brother also tried to frame the poisoning incident on Concubine Xi, so I only made her permanent, which is already an act of mercy outside the law."
Nian Gengyao had known about this for a long time and was not surprised at all. He continued: "The imperial concubine has served the emperor with all her heart and soul for so many years and has given birth to two princes. Even if there is anything wrong with her, please let the emperor look at these two princes."
For the sake of ten years of love, please spare her once."
Nian Suyan has long been demoted to permanent status, but Nian Gengyao still talks about a noble concubine, which makes Yinzhen feel very harsh and has a feeling that his authority is being ignored. If not for the person standing in front of him is Nian Gengyao, whom he has always relied on and trusted.
Yao, morning
He was already angry. Even so, he also felt great displeasure in his heart. He twitched his lips and said: "Gong should be attributed to merit and fault to fault. How can the merits and demerits be offset? Liang Gong, today is a good day for you to return to Beijing in triumph.
It’s okay not to mention these things.”
"Your Majesty!" Nian Gengyao has always been a protective person, and he has always loved his younger sister. He is not willing to let it go, not to mention that he has another ulterior motive. He knelt down and said, "Even if your concubine is not good in all her ways, she is still
The person next to you, not to mention the third elder brother, doesn’t look at the monk’s face to look at the Buddha’s face, you..."
"Liang Gong!" Yinzhen's voice was even worse than before, and his face was even more frosty. He turned around and said, "The harem does not discuss the affairs of the previous dynasty, and the previous dynasty should not talk too much about the harem."
.This matter ends here, don’t mention it again.”
Nian Gengyao climbed up to Yinzhen, kowtowed and said with tears: "Your Majesty, I have been living in the northwest for these years, taking the lead and never complaining. The only thing I hope for is that my family is safe and happy!"
"Don't worry, Nian Changzai is very safe." When Yinzhen spoke, the words "Nian Changzai" were emphasized in the room.
"But the imperial concubine is separated from the third prince, mother and son, and her heart is cut by a knife. How can she be happy." He kowtowed again and said sadly: "I beg the emperor to remember that for the sake of my servant's dedication to the emperor and the Qing Dynasty these years,
Give your concubine another chance."
Naturally, Nian Gengyao was not just trying to protect his shortcomings, but also for a larger goal. If he wanted the third elder brother to have a chance to inherit the throne, a permanent mother-in-law would never do it. With such an origin, no matter where she was born
No matter how outstanding a son is, it is impossible for him to reach that position. The eighth prince during the reign of Emperor Kangxi is a living example.
Therefore, he must help Su Yan to sit in the position of imperial concubine. Only in this way, Hong Sheng will have the opportunity to ascend the throne as emperor. As for Yinzhen, he believes that with the relationship between himself and Yinzhen for many years, he will be able to establish a new emperor.
His unparalleled achievements will surely convince him.
Of course, Nian Gengyao took things for granted. At the same time, he also forgot his own identity. No matter how favored and trusted he was, he was just a slave. There was no reason for a slave to be better than his master.
And he underestimated Yinzhen's absolute control over power. He got along with the king, shared hardships and wealth. What's more, when things have developed to this point, Nian Suyan's restoration or not has become a matter of monarchy and ministerial power.
of collision.
Yinzhen walked up the steps without saying a word, picked up the tea placed on the small table, took a sip, and then threw the teacup at Sixi, who was standing tremblingly beside him, "Slave dog, how did you make the tea?"
, it’s so hot!”
Si Xi was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and apologized, "You deserve to die, I will make it again." As he said this, he put away the broken porcelain cup that fell at his feet and quickly exited the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart.
While waiting for the re-made tea, Yinzhen didn't say a word, which made the already stuffy air in the palace even more uncomfortable. Nian Gengyao, who was still kneeling on the ground, regretted that he had been too aggressive just now, in case he really angered Yinzhen.
