At about four o'clock in the afternoon, winter had turned westward, crumbling. The red sunset glow envelops the palace walls, houses, and avenues that have precipitated a sense of history in Beijing, which is extremely gorgeous.

Just like the political situation in the capital at this time: the afterglow of the sunset!

The son of Yongzhi thought that he was about to die, and the Yongzhi Dynasty was like a slanting sunset, which was about to end. And Jia Huan, Qi Chi, Shen Qian, Zhang Sishui, Zeng Jigao, Le Bai and others brought the great victory in the Western Regions and the victory in Mobei, which is the most gorgeous color when the sun sets in the Yongzhi Dynasty!

This is the most powerful martial art of the Middle-earth Dynasty since the Tang Dynasty! As long as you conquer Goryeo again and possess its land, you can complete the transcendence of the Tang Dynasty! Including the heyday of Zhenguan period, Kaiyuan, Tianbao years.

Turbid wine does not dispel the tears of the country, and when it is saved, it should be out of the crowd. Fight for 100,000 skull blood, and you must save the world!

In the spring of the eighteenth year of Yongzhi, the situation was critical, and the northwest frontier was shaken. Who would have thought that three years later it would be such a clear and strong situation?

It's just that after the end of this historical process of "solving the king's affairs in the world", everyone's situation is different.

When the heroes of the Great Seal were feudal, the newspapers reported a lot of stories, and the heroes of the two wars were pursued, the core figure, Jia Huan, the left senator of the Western Regions, got not glory after returning to Beijing, but the suspicion of the Son of Heaven!

Otherwise, with his position as a senator of the left of the Western Regions from the fourth rank, he will be an official with meritorious service, at least one political envoy from the second rank, or a servant of the sixth department.

However, at Jia Huan's age, in the twenty-first year of Yongzhi, he was only 20 years old. Rising to such a high position, combined with his performance in the court struggle and the Western Regions, what this means is self-explanatory.

The worst result was Yang Tinghe, a veteran of the Three Dynasties, who served as an assistant for decades; The medium result is Zhang Juzheng: I am not a phase, but a photograph! Further up: Huo Guang deposed the Han Emperor, and Yang Jian, the Wen Emperor of Sui, usurped the Northern Zhou.

…

…

In the evening, news spreads and flies all over Beijing. Following the shocking news in the morning, the news came from the Wu Wangfu and the Internal Affairs Office: Yongzhi Tianzi is eager for his last Lantern Festival, which is grand and glamorous!

In this lively hustle and bustle, Jia Huan, who was talking secretly with Luo Junzi and Zhang Sishui at home, suddenly received an invitation from his friend Wei Yang to eat and drink in Weifu.

The Wei Mansion in Xianyifang is not far from the Shi family and Wu Wangfu. Jia Huan arrived at Weifu at about seven o'clock in the evening.

In the bright and clean Xiaoxuan, the aroma of wine and food is overflowing, and the bright candles are shining. Wei Hong, a scholar of Wenhuadian University, and Wei Yang, the former Hanlin Shu Jishi and the director of the Ministry of Rites, entertained Jia Huan. Xiaoxuan burns fine smokeless charcoal, warm as spring!

Wei Hong was in his sixties, and at this time he was dressed in a gray robe, his body was slightly fat, and his appearance looked old in the light of candles, like an ordinary old man.

Wei Hong told the details of today's Hanyuan Palace, took a sip of wine, and sighed: "Ziyu, your situation is very dangerous!" ”

He's an aspiring and pragmatic bureaucrat! He admires Jia Huan very much. But if the Son of Heaven issued an edict to execute Jia Huan, he would fight, but he would not protect it. He is not Jia Huan's division commander, and he will not put himself in order to save Jia Huan.

The one who will really protect Jia Huan is the newly released Ministry of Industry Shangshu Zhang Anbo. However, Zhang Anbo is now unstable.

It is not unreasonable for the Son of Yongzhi to say that people's hearts are unstable! The details of the morning prelude to the prelude, Wei Hong will now reveal it to Jia Huan. The obvious reason why Jia Huan came to Weifu was that Weiyang invited Jia Huan to have a drink.

If the Son of Heaven is five years younger, Wei Hong dares to act like this?

This actually means that the power of the Son of Heaven is slowly and invisibly draining as he ages.

Jia Huan was silent for a while, then raised his head and drank the wine in the cup. His dissatisfaction, bitterness, and calmness were fully revealed in this move, and he said: "Minister Wei, if Scholar Song sues me like this, I don't even have the opportunity to resign!" ”

There are Song Pu's words in front: don't think about the reputation of your father, only care about yourself. When he resigned from the official office, he really said to the people of the world: I just think that the Son of Heaven is a faint king! At that time, what the result will be, can be imagined.

Wei Hong nodded lightly. Song Pu is indeed rectifying Jia Huan and Zhang Anbo.

Political fighting, do everything! Allowed Jia Huan to make Song Pu disgraced a few years ago, and was prevented from being promoted to the Military Aircraft Department, and Song Pu was not allowed to rectify Jia Huan? Song Pu is not a wooden man!

Wei Shentong poured wine for Jia Huan, a little worried, and asked bluntly: "Ziyu, then what are you going to do now?" ”

He was actually four years older than Jia Huan, 24 years old at the time, dressed in a white shirt, with red lips and white teeth, a very handsome young man. His wife is the granddaughter of Liu Feibai, a former university scholar. The children have it.

He served as the Hanlin Shuji for three years, and after the museum was disbanded, he was transferred to the head of the Ministry of Rites. Unlike Ji Cheng, a disciple of the academy, he stayed in the Hanlin Academy as a Hanlin editor.

And the predecessors of the academy who were in the capital in the last subject: Xu Yinglang and Ji Ming all transferred to other places. When they got together a little later, they were not in Beijing.

According to Wei Yang's thoughts, since Jia Huan is the first merit to pacify the Western Regions in front of the Son of Heaven, why don't you reward it today?

Even if he thinks that Jia Huan is young and the threat is too great in the future, he can reward his father Jia Zheng like Shen Yuqiao! It's not difficult to restore the title of Duke Rongguo, right? After all, there is still a thorn in the heart of the Son of Heaven! This is the sequelae of Jia Huan's previous political struggles.

The conversation between Yongzhi Tianzi and Qi Chi has not yet come out. According to the Yongzhi Emperor: Jia Huan has a lot of ideas! The subtext is that he is not at ease! Jia Huan put on a vest to make trouble, and he didn't go through it.

Jia Huan took a sip of wine, didn't hide it, and said, "I'll put some effort in front of Queen Yang!" "Resigning, this is one of the ways he originally thought of retreating. He planned to stay away from the old emperor in the last years of the Yongzhi Dynasty. Now it doesn't work.

A few days ago, he went to Dongzhuang Town to pay a New Year's greeting to Mr. Ye, and his feeling at that time was that the situation he was facing was like a weir lake, and the water in the lake was accumulating more and more, which was very dangerous. Now the scholar of Dewei University told the details of the Hanyuan Palace, and the feeling is: It is like being in the abyss!

He is already standing on the edge of the abyss. The situation is even more dangerous and urgent! The Son of Heaven had the intention of killing him, this is undoubtedly a thing. Now, the knife was on his neck.

"Hmm." Wei Hong reminded: "Ziyu, pay attention to it, be fast!" "Now the only one who can change the mind of the Son of Heaven is Empress Yang.

With his political level, of course he knows what Jia Huan said: not only to send silver to Queen Yang, but also to King Tuiyong's accession to the throne. The Lord Shaoguo doubts, this is true. But there is no precedent in history for orphans. For example: Sanyang back then. It's man-made.

But this thing, be quick! Judging by his eyes, the body of the Son of Heaven will not last long!

Jia Huan nodded solemnly.

After eating for a while, Jia Huan had something on his mind and said goodbye and left. Wei Hong did not stay. He came to Jia Huan to tell Jia Huan the situation: The political enemy made a move, and the Son of Heaven had murderous intent. Remind Jia Huan not to misjudge, to be fast!

Wei Yang got up and sent Jia Huan out. All the way through the houses and gardens of the Wei Mansion to a secluded corner gate. The cold wind of winter was howling, cold and biting, blowing Jia Huan and Wei Yang's headscarves and clothes.

Wei Yang looked at Jia Huan's calm expression and couldn't help but sigh: "Ziyu, you... Alas..., it would be nice if you stayed in the Western Regions! Take care! Wei Shentong clenched his hands into fists.

"Yuan Hao, thank you!" Jia Huan nodded, smiled, and got into the carriage. The carriage slowly moved away.

Wei Yang felt indescribable emotion in his heart.

Since the eighth year of Yongzhi, he and Jia Huan have known each other, and now twelve years have passed! Talented, determined, extraordinary, magnificent. In the Western Regions, Jin Ge Iron Horse, crisscrossing thousands of miles, conquering Zhuhu.

What a spirit! What a talent!

Such an outstanding person, the Son of Heaven actually wants to kill! How could he not sigh?

Will tonight be the last time he and Jia Huan will drink? He could tell from his grandfather's tone that the big change might be just around the corner. There is not much time left for Jia Huan.

Ziyu, take care!

…

…

The ornate carriage moved smoothly.

Hu Xiaosi and Qian Huai were driving horses outside the carriage. Four horses from Dawan, in the bright moonlight, stepped on small steps towards the Four Seasons. The noise in the mansions of dignitaries was faintly heard.

Jia Huan drank a little wine, leaned on the soft couch in the carriage, pressed his fingers lightly on his forehead, and thought.

He had already planned to resign after the first month: resigning should pay attention to timing. But who would have thought that on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, Song Pu would come up in Hanyuan Palace? This disrupted his arrangement.

Wei Yang said that it was good that he didn't return to the capital. You don't have to face this situation, but where is the reality?

First, there is no disaster if you hide in the Western Regions? It hasn't been a month since he returned to Beijing, he hasn't done anything, he hasn't dangled in front of the Son of Heaven, isn't the situation deteriorating step by step?

This time, the main promoter of the Hanyuan Hall discussion was Song Pu, and this beam had already been concluded. Whether he comes back or not is the same thing.

Hua Mo added fuel to the fire, and the cause must have been Ying Yun's sister's business. The matter of breaking into Washington is not over yet. Dragged at Suncheonfu. He knew that Hua Mo would not give up. Offending Hua Mo has great drawbacks. But what can be done if you have already offended?

A few days ago, he met Ji Wan'er in King Wu's mansion, and she knelt down and begged him for help in revenge. He promised to come down: the coming day will be long. The remnants of the discipline are forces that can be united.

Second, he remained in the Western Regions and held military power. But is it difficult for the Son of Yongzhi to go to the Western Regions and relieve him of his military power? In the Tang Dynasty, Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty lifted the military power of the festival and issued an edict. What's more, the hearts of the people of the dynasty are better than Tang?

Take a step back, even if someone follows him to resist the decree and rebel! He raised troops from the Western Regions to fight in the capital? How big a brain hole is this?

Third, how can he not return to the marriage of the third sister? It's family affection.

…

…

Jia Huan was pondering, and Qian Huai's voice came from outside the carriage, "The third master has arrived in the mansion." Jia Huan's carriage had stopped in the front yard of Sanssouci Hall. The servants and housekeepers came to wait.

Jia Huan came back to his senses, got out of the car, and walked to the hall. The servants followed. Jia Huan walked and ordered: "Send someone to say something inside." I was resting in my study. He said, "Go and invite Zhang Boren to Xiyun Hall." ”

Because Tanchun's marriage is scheduled for the twentieth day of the first month, the day before Sister Bao's birthday. Zhang Sishui rushed back from home in advance to help, and just arrived today.

The cold wind blew on Jia Huan's face. He walked towards the Xiyun Hall on the west side of the courtyard.

He told half the truth in the Wei Mansion. He is now facing an extremely dangerous situation, almost dead! He couldn't have been more prepared. Especially now after the "Resignation" card has been abolished.

His preferred plan is to unite with Empress Yang: save his life and push King Yong to the throne. But, what if Empress Yang couldn't convince the Son of Heaven? I also need to prepare a backup plan: I will kill a hundred flowers after the flowers bloom!

This is what he wants to talk to Zhang Sishui tonight.

Facing the butcher's knife raised high by the Son of Yongzhi, even if he is afraid, what is the use? Could it be that if you are afraid, beg for mercy, and show loyalty, the Son of Heaven will not kill him? He won't sit still, he won't be foolish!

Throw away your illusions and get ready to fight!
