Chapter 266
"You don't need to remind me." Wei Yueyan rolled her eyes, twitched the corner of his mouth, and resigned himself to taking a mouthful.
Seeing that his general treated everything with such a spirit of seeing death as home, Zhan Jin boldly told what he had found out.
"People found it."
"Cough, cough, cough!" Wei Yueyan coughed and flushed with trembling hands, but immediately put on a solemn expression, "Have you found it? Who is it? Are you in the court? What is your position?"
Zhan Jin nodded, "The general's expectations are right. The queen still keeps this person in the court in order to further consolidate her position."
Chapter 140 IX Southern Border Resentment
"Hmph, I have the guts." Wei Yueyan sneered, and then gulped down another big gulp of soup with a ferocious face, "What official position is this time?"
"The idle position of the third grade, the Minister of Taichang Temple." Zhan Jin replied.
"Minister of Taichang Temple." Wei Yueyan sneered, "Do you know how much her younger brother weighs this time? Does he have the guts to stuff him into the barracks again?"
Taichang Siqing is an official position with a long history, which can be traced back to the ancient Han Dynasty, also known as "Fengchang".Although it is an idle job, the official rank is really not low. I don’t know how it was in other dynasties, but in the Great Xia Dynasty, it was basically idle all day long. You only need to be a sub-official official during the sacrifice, and accompany the three princes when they patrol the garden. In the past, check to see if the utensils holding the sacrifices were clean, in case the gods were offended by the dirt.With just a few glances, you will be able to fight bloody battles in the bitter cold for seven years outside the Great Wall. The official worship is the third grade, and you are on an equal footing with the six ministers and the twelve generals.
What is it if it is not idle work?
"That's right." Wei Yueyan sneered, "It was so hard to change the skin and face, and lost half of my life for a change of skin. The remaining half of my life can't be tossed on the battlefield anymore."
The current Tai Changqing is the younger brother of the current Empress Chang, named Chang Tingjian. In order to let her younger brother do something, the former empress used her power to arrange people into the military camp, so that she could be promoted by plating gold.But he didn't want her younger brother to be cowardly and incompetent, and his luck was not good. It happened that the imperial court's imperial driver personally conscripted troops to southern Xinjiang, and all the members of the Wei family were put on hold in the Southern Xinjiang battle.
The terrain in southern Xinjiang is complicated, the army dispersed, Wei Chengxu, the second master of Wei, followed Yujia, and Wei Yueyan's father, uncle and several older brothers were all in the team led by Chang Tingjian.Chang Tingjian refused to listen to advice, and was lured into the miasma forest in southern Xinjiang by the enemy army because he thought he was smart and had great achievements.The rest of the soldiers will find out the problem halfway, but the military order is like a mountain and they have to obey, and those who protest are cut by Chang Tingjian in front of the horse.
Later, the drama of running away from battle was staged for the first time in Daxia's army. It was too late for the soldiers to find out that the general was missing in the rising miasma. In an instant, the miasma spread like arrows and locusts. This team was wiped out except Wei Yueyan and Chang Tingjian who escaped secretly.
Three years after Wei Yueyan returned to Beijing, she has been secretly inquiring about Chang Tingjian's whereabouts, but to no avail.It's not that she didn't know that in order to protect her own younger brother, the queen would change her younger brother's identity, but it was only after a coincidence that she learned of a folk secret method that can change a person's skin and face that Wei Yueyan came to his senses The reason why Chang Tingjian's whereabouts have not been found is probably because not only his identity and background have changed, but his face, limbs, and even every hair follicle from head to toe have changed.
Zhan Jin knew that this matter was the most painful thorn in Wei Yueyan's heart, so he didn't echo or refute, but just stood aside silently with downcast eyes, waiting for Wei Yueyan's next order.
Wei Yueyan seemed to be in no mood at all, he threw the spoon in his hand back into the soup pot and put it aside heavily, the back molars were tightly clasped together, the whole room could hear the sound of needles falling quietly, only the young man could be heard The general panted heavily with resentment, as if he was standing alone in the snowy field of ninety-nine cold days, the sharp wind knife and snow sword next to his ear scraped bright red gashes on luǒ/exposed skin, and the dark red blood splashed like plum blossoms land.
After a long time, he finally said, "Zhan Jin, who's idea is it that you gave Yang Zisu to me as the lieutenant general this time?"
Zhan Jin did not hesitate to think: "I think it is undoubtedly Empress Chang. The general secretly revealed the matter of his miasma poisoning to the four famous doctors in the capital. Chang Tingjian's whereabouts can be found out from it, and the queen can also follow these traces back to the general. Cutting the grass and roots is a necessary means."
Wei Yueyan shook his head, his eyes straightened, as if his pupils had been dotted with thick ink, "If I say, it might be the emperor, do you believe it or not?"
"Your Majesty?" Zhan Jin was obviously taken aback after hearing this answer. She quickly scanned the surroundings and lowered her voice, "General, don't talk nonsense."
"I didn't talk nonsense." Wei Yueyan's expression was very calm, he didn't seem to be insane at all, "It's not that I can't see that the emperor has been using Qu Quan to check and balance my power, and now Qu Quan has been emptied by half. How long do you think I can survive?"
"Not at all." Zhan Jin hesitated, "Although the emperor has always balanced the general and Mr. Qu, it is not possible to use things like war to reduce the general's power? I still feel that this move is something that the queen would do. "In the end, as if she was thinking about something, she bit her lips and added: "Although the emperor is suspicious and unscrupulous, he is not a fool."
