Qi Ning pondered for a while before saying, “Your Majesty, I don’t want to make a rash statement on this matter.

Longtai scolded: “I called you here, not just to discuss with you, but you are vague.”

Qi Ning smiled and said, “Originally, there was no good chance to attack the Sima family. Since Sima Changshen took the initiative to request this time, why didn’t the emperor take this opportunity to cut his title? We also have good words, just like the emperor. What just said, this is not because the emperor deliberately wants to cut his title, but because the civil and military people of the Manchu Dynasty know this, and in order to maintain the credibility of the Sima family, this is reluctant.”

Longtai laughed and said, “This reason is actually not bad.” He rested his chin lightly, thought about it, and said, “We’ll see what Sima Lan will say later.”

Qi Ning leaned closer and asked in a low voice, “Your Majesty, is there something I don’t know when to ask?”

“Ah?” Long Taiqi said, “What’s the matter?”

Qi Ning smiled strangely and said in a low voice, “Your Majesty had to deal with two brides in his wedding room last night, and he has to deal with government affairs today, isn’t it…?”

“Go away.” Long Tai laughed and scolded: “You think I’m just as uncontrollable as you? My body is very good.” Then he lowered his voice and said, “I didn’t go to Yongchun Palace last night.”

“Yongchun Palace?”

Longtai explained: “Sima Wanqiong has lived in Yongchun Palace, and I have made her an imperial concubine according to the Queen Mother’s wishes.”

“So, the emperor stayed in the Fengyi Palace last night?” Qi Ning asked curiously, “Isn’t Sima Wanqiong alone in the empty room?”

Long Tai said: “I didn’t want to go to Yongchun Palace, and I heard that she was injured yesterday, so I just had a reason not to go.”

“Injuried?”

“After she entered the palace yesterday, she went to the imperial physician to see her leg.” Long Tai said, “The imperial physician reported to me that a needle was inserted into Sima Wanqiong’s calf, and I don’t know when it was inserted.”

Qi Ning immediately thought of yesterday’s scene. When Sima Wanqiong was waiting for the stairs, she suddenly fell down. Now, it seems that at that time, a needle was stabbed in the leg, but under the watchful eyes of the public, who shot?

In his mind, the enchanting figure of the Dongqi palace maid quickly emerged.

At this moment, I heard a voice from outside: “Report to the emperor, the Duke of Zhenguo asks to see you!”

Long Tai immediately sat upright, and Qi Ning also quickly retreated to the front of the case, standing with his hands down, Long Tai and Qi Ning exchanged a wink before saying, “Duke Xuanzhen, come in.”

Sima Lan was wearing an official robe, and her figure was slightly hunched, and her complexion did not look very good. When she came in from the door, she saw Qi Ning and paused, but she still stepped forward and bowed to the emperor and said, “Old minister sees the emperor. When he was about to kneel down and salute, Longtai had already said, “Old Duke is too old, so there is no need to bow.”

Sima Lan cupped his hands and said, “Old minister thank you.”

“Jinyihou, bring a chair for the old man to sit down.” Longtai ordered.

Qi Ning brought a chair over and placed it behind Sima Lan with a respectful tone: “Old Prince, please take a seat.”

“There is Lao Jinyi waiting.” Sima Lan nodded and smiled at Qi Ning, and Long Tai waited for Sima Lan to sit down before asking, “The old prince entered the palace today, but what is the matter?”

“Your Majesty, the old minister is here to plead guilty!” Sima Lan was about to stand up, but Longtai had already raised his hand and said, “It’s fine for the old prince to sit down and talk, you don’t need to get up.” Then he frowned and asked, “The old prince is here to plead guilty? Where do you start?”

Sima Lan looked at Qi Ning and sighed: “Jinyihou, yesterday Sima Changshen drank a few more glasses of wine and started a drunken madness, and he dared to stop the clerk of the household department. Xun. But this matter has already been committed, and it is too late to regret it. The old minister can only go to the palace to ask the emperor for his guilt.”

Long Tai and Qi Ning looked at each other, thinking that Sima Lan was really going to intercede for Sima Changshen today, Long Tai kept calm, picked up the document and said, “Does the old man know the document presented by the loyal waiter? ?”

Sima Lan nodded and said, “The old minister knows that this is also what the old minister ordered Sima Changshen to present.

Yesterday, outside the palace gate, Sima Changshen ignored the emperor’s big wedding and made trouble, and had a word with Jin Yihou beforehand. Even a husband’s promise was worth a thousand dollars, not to mention Sima Changshen.

“After a pause, he said: “So this is the case for asking the emperor to cut the rank, and also asking the emperor to judge.

”

Long Tai thought for a while before saying: “Old Prince, the Queen Mother also mentioned this to me. Since the founding of the Great Chu Kingdom, I have been the four hereditary candidates. If it really took away the loyal and righteous candidates, this…! ”

“Your Majesty, the old minister begged the emperor to approve this book.” Sima Lan said sternly: “A promise of a thousand dollars is not a child’s play. Since Sima Changshen made a promise in front of the officials, if the emperor does not approve this book, in the future How can the Sima family gain a foothold in the court?”

Long Tai was a little surprised. Looking at Sima Lan, he wanted to make clear whether what he said was sincere or fake.

“Your Majesty, what the old minister said came from the bottom of his heart.” Seeing to see through Longtai’s thoughts, Sima Lan sighed softly: “The emperor, for the sake of the old minister’s years of hard work, conferred the title of the prince. Up to now, the Sima family has served three generations of emperors, and they have all received supreme grace. This time Sima Changshen made a mistake, and he must be punished. The emperor has just been recently, and the punishment and reward must be clearly defined, so that the government can be clearly ruled!”

Longtai hesitated for a moment before saying, “It’s just the Queen Mother…!”

“The emperor doesn’t need to think too much. The old minister has already made it clear on the Empress Dowager’s side.” Sima Lan said: “This book, Wang Wang, the emperor has approved it, and the old minister will be grateful.”

Longtai saw that Sima Lan said this for the sake of it, so he pushed the boat along the way: “Since the old prince said so, I will no longer insist on it. Since this is the case, I will approve this statement.”

Sima Lan stood up and said, “Old minister thank the emperor for his grace.”

Longtai couldn’t help but glanced at Qi Ning, seeing that Qi Ning’s face was also suspicious, obviously he couldn’t guess what the old fox Sima Lan was doing.

“Just sit down and talk.” Long Tai said softly: “It’s just that the title is cut, so let’s keep the food town.”

“Your Majesty, it’s a matter of course to cut the title and seize the city.” Sima Lan said sternly: “If you cut the title, but keep the city, it will make people talk more.”

Longtai nodded slightly, but Sima Lan said in a tone of hatred of iron and steel: “Although Sima Changshen is not young, he is reckless and has a bad temper. The old minister has something to do and asks the emperor for permission.”

“Although the old man said it.”

Sima Lan thought for a moment before saying: “Your Majesty, although Sima Changshen has a bad temperament, he still has talent. Knowing a son is better than his father, and an old minister does not shy away from saying it. But no matter how good the steel is, if it is not polished, it will be difficult to become a climate. Sima If Chang Shen can practice more, he will definitely be able to serve the court a lot.”

“Experience?” Long Tai vaguely felt that something was wrong and asked, “How does the old man prepare to experience Sima Changshen?”

“The old minister thinks that the most rewarding experience is naturally in the army.” Sima Lan snorted coldly, “Sima Changshen was rich and noble since he was a child. In the army, sharing weal and woe with the soldiers will definitely be able to sharpen his temperament. Moreover, Sima Changshen has been familiar with military books since he was a child, and he has quite a lot of experience in marching and formation. what he did.”

As soon as these words came out, Qi Ning’s heart froze. At this time, he finally understood Sima Lan’s intention.

After the fall of the King of Huainan, Qi Ning expected that if the Sima family wanted to make a move in the court, they would have to get involved in finance and military affairs. Today, the old fox took the initiative to ask the emperor to approve Sima Changshen’s proposal to win the title, and Qi Ning felt that something was wrong. , Only then did I understand that this old fox was going back first, cutting Sima Changshen’s title, but using this to let Sima Changshen enter the army.

The so-called military experience is naturally a high-sounding reason. As the eldest son of Sima Lan, no matter which army he enters, with Sima Lan behind his back, he will soon be able to form a force in it.

“Which army does the old man want him to go to?” Longtai said calmly, “Donghai Division? Xichuan Corps, or… Qinhuai Corps?”

Sima Lan sighed: “Your Majesty, the situation of the Northern Han coup d’etat is still unclear, but no matter how the situation changes, once there is a good opportunity, I still can’t miss the opportunity, and I should immediately expedition to the north. In fact, the old minister has been planning this for a while now. The Qinhuai Army can send troops to the northern expedition at any time, the old minister’s meaning is that Sima Changshen can go to the Qinhuai Army, and only after passing through the real battlefield can Sima Changshen mature quickly, I wonder what the emperor wants?”

Qi Ning sneered inwardly, thinking that the Sima family was going to get their hands on the Qinhuai Army after all.

This is not a strange thing. Nowadays, the Sima family hates the Jinyi Qi family to the core, and the biggest opponent is the Qinhuai Army. An important reason for the Jinyi Qi family’s foothold in the DPRK is because of the existence of the Qinhuai Army. He didn’t dare to act rashly against the Jinyi Qi family, so he was naturally afraid of the relationship between the Qi family and the Qinhuai Army.

The two generations of the Qinhuai Army generals are from the Jinyi Qi family. The Jinyi Qi family has a very deep imprint on the Qinhuai Army. Even the current general of the Qinhuai Army, Yue Huanshan, was also cultivated by the Qi family. With such a relationship, anyone who wants to Of course, it takes a lot of thought to move Jinyi together.

Seeing Longtai pondering slightly, Sima Lan smiled bitterly and said, “The old minister just ranted in front of the Queen Mother and hated iron for not being steel, so the Queen Mother asked the old minister to ask the emperor to send Sima Changshen to the army. After thinking about it, the old minister also felt what the Queen Mother said. What’s more, I dared to beg the emperor.” After a pause, he continued: “And the old minister thought that, given the current situation, the Qinhuai Army did need to send someone to supervise the Central Committee. There are many factions, and some people even plunder the people with their troops. If this goes on for a long time, the consequences will be unimaginable.”

Qi Ning asked calmly, “Old Prince, is the Qinhuai Army in chaos now?”

Sima Lan nodded and said: “Actually, there have always been factions in the Qinhuai Army, but your presence in the sun is enough to deter the arrogant soldiers of the Qinhuai Army, and there will be no trouble. But after your death, although Yue Huanshan took the lead After all, the Qinhuai Army can’t be compared to your commander, and many warriors, even Yue Huanshan, can’t hold back, and now is an extraordinary time.

“The old prince thinks that it is not bad to rectify the military discipline of the Qinhuai Army.” Longtai pondered: “But is Sima Changshen suitable?”

“Your Majesty, as long as you make your next order, Sima Changshen will go to Qinhuai Corps on behalf of the Emperor to assist Yue Huanshan in rectifying military discipline. There should be no mistakes.” Sima Lan said: “Sima Changshen still has the ability, the old minister is not because he is The old minister’s son recommended him, but chose a suitable candidate for the court, the old minister is willing to protect Sima Changshen, if Sima Changshen makes a mistake, the old minister petitions the emperor to cut the position of the duke.”

Longtai immediately said: “The old man’s words are serious. The old man, in fact, I have something to look for. It happened that you entered the palace today and want to discuss with you.”

“I don’t know what the emperor ordered?”

“The case of the King of Huainan, of course we can’t just let it go.” Long Tai said solemnly: “I meant that the Ministry of Justice should continue to investigate this matter, but the Minister of Justice, Qian Raoshun, was unbearable and has been dismissed from office. The position of Minister of Justice is temporarily vacant. I thought that in order to preside over the Department of Punishment, we must select candidates from the four major hereditary candidates…!”

Sima Lan nodded slightly, but remained calm.

“Old Marquis Jindao has been recovering from illness all the year round, and his two sons are also in the army. Naturally, it is not easy to transfer them back. On Su Zhen, Marquis of Wuxiang, some people say that he has had contacts with the King of Huainan, so it is not suitable for him to be in charge of the punishment department.” Longtai said slowly, “I thought about Sima Changshen…!”

“Your Majesty, Sima Changshen is absolutely impossible.” Sima Lan said decisively: “Your Majesty, the wind is blowing outside. The change of the imperial mausoleum was caused by the personal grudge between the Sima family and the King of Huainan. Although this is not the case, people say Terrible, if Sima Changshen is in charge of the punishment department, it will definitely give people a pretext, and Sima Changshen will not be fair at that time.”

“Oh?” Long Tai said, “Does the old man think Sima Changshen is not suitable? Is there a suitable candidate?”

Sima Lan smiled and said, “The emperor said that the punishment department should be managed by one of the four hereditary candidates, which is not false. After thinking about it, the most suitable candidate is Jinyihou.”

“Jinyi Hou?”

“Although Jin Yihou is young, he is a rare young talent with both wisdom and courage.” Sima Lan said solemnly: “And Jin Yihou is an upright person. If Jin Yihou is in charge of the punishment department, let him It must be a blessing for the court to practice in the Ministry of Punishment.”

“But Jin Yihou is young, does the old man think he is suitable?”

“You don’t have to be ambitious.” Sima Lan smiled and said, “General Qi Jing fought in the battlefield at a young age and made countless contributions. Jin Yihou is the direct son of the general, and he must have won the ability of the general. The old minister thought, As long as you do it with your heart, you can always do it well.”

Longtai nodded and said, “I feel at ease when the old prince said this. Qi Ning, I ordered you to take charge of the punishment department and continue to thoroughly investigate the case of the King of Huainan. Do you dare to take on this burden?”

Qi Ning stepped forward and cupped his hands: “Thanks to the trust of the emperor and the old duke, the minister must do his best to live up to the emperor’s grace.”

Long Tai said: “Then pass on my will, Jin Yihou Qi Ning will go to the penal department today.” He said to Sima Lan: “Since Sima Changshen is willing to go to the army to experience, the old prince will pass the edict on my behalf and let Sima Chang be Shen goes to the Qinhuai Army, assists Yue Huanshan to rectify military discipline, and I bestow Sima Changshen as a former general!”
