Chapter 25: Paving the Way for the Prime Minister (1)
Duan Yanqing did not leave Guangxi.
After asking about the follow-up development of Dali, he keenly noticed something, and then, with the efforts of Yang Xing and Shen Qi to persuade him to stay, he stayed.
If you have no soldiers and no power, what will you do if you go back?
Huang Shang was a little surprised and a little regretful.
He actually wanted to change Duan Yanqing's fate, after all, he had suffered a terrible disaster.
If Duan Yanqing returns to Dali now, even if he does not become emperor, he will be able to live comfortably in the rest of his life and be a peaceful prince.
But obviously, after suffering so many blows, Duan Yanqing was unwilling to give up.
He is disabled and disfigured, he is moody, and he firmly believes that he is a good prince and should inherit the great treasure.
In order to achieve political goals, Yang Xing and Shen Qi were pushing crazily behind the scenes.
Yang Xing was like a gambler who had lost his money and had to get his money back. Shen Qi was more or less influenced by the puppet master. His original displeasure with Huang Shang had turned into hatred and deliberate targeting. .
This is just plain disgusting.
I'm not feeling well, and you can't feel comfortable either.
Huang Shang expressed his disappointment at the puppet master's actions.
How can a wise man get angry and act like he cannot afford to lose?
Isn’t it because we lost the Three Elders of Xiaoyao, the Six Meridians Divine Sword, the Five Poison Sect, the Dali Rebels, Murong Bo and Jiumozhi?
In life, there are gains and losses.
Is it normal to learn a lesson and lose a little bit?
Obviously, the puppet master is not as open-minded and open-minded as Huang Shang.
"Huang Shang! Taizu's jade ax demarcation is to allow our ministers to abide by their duties. Now, what are your intentions in interfering in Dali's internal affairs and obstructing Prince Yanqing's ascension to the throne?"
On this day, when Shen Qi got up to shoot the case, all the officials quickly bowed their heads, but they were no longer surprised.
In this day and age, calling someone by name is equivalent to pointing your nose and scolding someone, especially in situations like this.
But Shen Qi has really fallen out with Huang Shang recently. When a chief official ignores even the most basic official rules, it is almost obvious that both sides will lose.
"At such a young age, you have developed a calm demeanor that is indistinguishable from emotion to anger. If you are allowed to grow up, you might be able to become a prime minister in your thirties! Humph, don't even think about it!"
Yang Xing watched Huang Shang leisurely sipping tea and dismissed Shen Qi as a fart. He was jealous and angry in his heart, and at the same time he sneered secretly.
Just a few days ago, he had written a letter stating the disagreement between Huang Shang and Shen Qi.
The envoy and deputy envoy were at odds in public. No matter who was responsible, the court's attitude was always to blame the deputy envoy first.
Huang Shang is no ordinary official, but he still has to make a fuss.
Yang Xing's purpose was to force Huang Shang to leave Guangxi.
No matter how much merit he had in Dali before, or how high his prestige in the Forbidden Army was now, everything would be useless if he left the country alone.
And with this stain on his deployment, he could only serve as a magistrate in a remote area and slowly get promoted.
To trade a sunrise and sunset for a three-yuan Huang Shang, I believe that the Prime Minister will also try his best to promote it!
Yang Xing thought of this, stroking his long beard and smiling happily.
You are still too young to fight in officialdom.
On the other side, Huang Shang returned to the mansion and sighed softly when Murong Fu came to serve him.
Murong Fu immediately asked: "What is the young master worried about?"
Huang Shang shook his head: "I just lament the selfish desires of people, regardless of their family and country. I'm afraid I will have to leave Guangnan West Road soon!"
Murong Fu was overjoyed at first because he had walked into the young master's heart and expressed his true feelings, but when he heard that he was leaving Guangnan West Road, he was shocked again.
Although he was not able to personally participate in the situation in Dali, he heard that the country of Dali had written a letter to thank the Song Dynasty for suppressing the rebellion. Among them, the biggest contributor was the young master. Such achievements not only greatly increased the country's reputation, but also calmed down the border turmoil. It's really rich and colorful.
According to Murong Fu's understanding, Shen Qi, no, Yang Xing should give way to the Young Master, and the position of Guangnan West Road Economic Strategy and Comfort Envoy should be given to the Young Master. How could there be any possibility of being transferred?
After leaving the study, he immediately summoned Deng Baichuan and four others and asked them to go out and inquire.
Soon, Murong Fu understood the reason.
"Shen Qi!"
Murong Fu gritted his teeth.
This person must be removed to pave the way for the young master.
He immediately left a code outside the city, hoping that Murong Bo would show up and ask this resourceful father for advice.
If a person is killed, he will die. That is simple, but the difficult thing is how to leave no trace so that outsiders cannot suspect the young master.
After all, the conflict between Shen Qi and the young master was well known in the official circles of Guangnan West Road. If Shen Qi died unexpectedly, the first person to be suspicious would be the young master.
But after waiting for several days, Murong Bo didn't come to see him. Murong Fu thought that Murong Bo was probably practicing the Six Meridians Divine Sword in seclusion, so he didn't have any doubts. He gritted his teeth and decided to use his own method.
He took out a bottle of elixir from his arms, a stern look flashed in his eyes
…
…
"Brother Murong Xian, this Nine Turns Bear Snake Pill is really effective."
Duan Yanqing was leaning on the soft couch, with a rare rosy look on his weak face.
"Brother Duan, there is no need to worry. With this elixir, your injuries will recover quickly."
Murong Fu knelt down in front of him and took back the hand he had just checked for his pulse, acting like a close friend.
One of them was the heir of the Duan family in Dali, whose father was killed, and the other was the heir of Murong of Gusu, whose father also died. They were in sympathy with each other, and Murong Fu wanted to get close to them, so they immediately became close friends.
"Internal injuries heal easily, but external injuries are difficult to treat!"
At this time, Yanqing listened to Murong Fu's comfort and subconsciously looked at his legs, showing deep sadness.
These days, Duan Yanqing has nightmares every night, either he is still being hunted and has no way to go from heaven to earth, or his father is scolding him, scolding him for not being able to inherit the throne.
This kind of mental torture is the reason why he is so weak.
Murong Fu observed Duan Yanqing and felt that the time was almost ripe, so he said, "Brother Duan, there is something that I don't know whether to talk about or not."
This is nonsense, but many people like to talk about it, and many people like to listen to it. Duan Yanqing felt that he was respected, and nodded: "There is no need to talk about anything between you and me. It doesn't matter if you have anything to say!"
Murong Fu said: "I know that Brother Duan is upset. I recently visited a famous doctor and asked for the Nine Turns Xiong She Wan. I heard a rumor by chance that there is a treasure in the residence of Ambassador Shen Qi Shen Yun, which is called Baihua Wanling Ointment. , developed from a hundred kinds of exotic flowers and herbs. After application, it can not only remove scars and delay aging, but also can be used with bone-setting tape to repair broken bones and restore them to normal!"
Without the foreshadowing of Jiuzhuan Xiongshewan, Duan Yanqing might not have believed it, but the Xiaoyao sect elixir compensated by Wuyazi was so effective that Duan Yanqing immediately sat up and said, "Brother, why didn't you tell me earlier? I must do it. Ask Shen Yunshi for this ointment!"
Murong Fu sighed: "That's the problem. This is just a rumor, not to mention whether there is such a magical plaster. Even if there is, Shen Qi will definitely regard it as a treasure and will not hand it over easily!"
Duan Yanqing said categorically: "I am willing to pay whatever you want. I, the Duan family of Dali, are not without treasure!"
As the prince of a country, even if it is a small country, he is extremely confident. He does not believe that spending a lot of money can not buy this hundred-flower elixir.
However, Murong Fu hesitated and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid it's not a matter of money. I heard that Duan Zhengming is about to ascend the throne as emperor, and Shen Qi has had a lot of contact with Dali recently..."
"What!"
Duan Yanqing suddenly changed his expression: "Didn't Shen Qi promise me to write to the Emperor of the Song Dynasty to help me ascend the throne?"
Dali is a vassal state of the Song Dynasty, and it is not a vassal state like Xixia that only has its name and opposes you in everything.
If the Song Dynasty really fully supported Duan Yanqing, a disabled son who already had the title of prince, then Dali might actually hold his nose and admit it under pressure.
That's why Duan Yanqing stayed in Guangxi and moved around.
Murong Fu didn't answer and sighed deeply.
His breath was like a thorn, directly piercing Duan Yanqing's dream.
Murong Fu comforted him again: "Brother Duan, don't worry. I believe that in addition to Baihua Wanling Ointment, there are other elixirs that can cure your scars and leg injuries. I will take care of it for you!"
Duan Yanqing's body started to tremble, and he squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Sink! Get up!"
…
…
Three days later.
Night.
Fire shot into the sky.
In a magnificent mansion, shrill exclamations spread from all directions:
"The Shen Yun Envoy was killed! The Shen Yun Envoy was killed!"
