The turmoil finally ended a few days later.

Unexpectedly, in this turmoil, the first to die were the second prince Yan Lie and the third prince Yan Jiao.

Because of the disgraceful death of these two people, Emperor Tianxi did not send anyone to investigate the scene, and did not file a case for investigation. He ordered people to secretly transport the two bodies to the royal hunting ground overnight.

The reason given to the outside world was that the two princes were unfortunately attacked by a pack of wolves while hunting and were killed by wolves.

The Jiang family lost power in the court struggle, and the only hope left in the clan rested on the two princes. As a result, the only hope left disappeared on the same day.

The members of the Jiang clan were immediately disheartened. After learning the news that day, Empress Jiang cried and passed out in Kunning Palace, and then fell ill.

The loss of the only two remaining Jiang family princes has already shaken the foundation of the Jiang family for two hundred years.

Jiang's building collapsed.

Yan Xi was also quite surprised by the dramatic death of Yan Jiao and Yan Lie.

But Yan Xi quickly figured it out, this is the power of "momentum".

What he seeks is not a specific "chess piece", but the entire "chessboard".

When he pushes the game of several forces to a certain stage, then these forces will complete the conflict by themselves.

As a chess player, he just needs to wait to collect the "chess pieces".

At the same time, Yan Xi noticed that this unexpected result showed that the forces involved in this game were not limited to those on the surface.

There is something else behind the scenes.

Who is behind the scenes instigating the students and common people to go to Jiangwangfu, who is secretly cleaning up the Jiangwangfu's message, who is planting masters to mix in the crowd to secretly break up Jiangwangfu's well-trained guards, and who is it?It is expected that Yan Jiao and Yanlie will be in the Miaoyin Hall of Prince Jiang's Mansion that day.

If any step was missing, the crowd would not be able to easily break through the gate of King Jiang's Mansion and reach Miaoyin Hall accurately.

There was a chill in Yan Xi's eyes.

This game of chess is really getting more and more exciting.

Jiang Pu was sent to prison, and Emperor Tianxi's mouth said: "Gu Nian Jiang Pu has worked hard for many years, is old, and is the head of the country, so no additional punishment shall be imposed on him."

When Yan Xi heard the news, she clenched her fists and remained silent for a long time.

On that day, he happened to meet Shao Ting, the Fushi of Beizhen, outside Jinzhu Wei Yamen, and the two chatted politely in front of people passing by.

The content of the conversation does not have to avoid others, it is nothing more than perfunctory polite words.

But both of them understood that the other understood.

That night, Jiang Pu did not know where he heard about Yan Jiao and Yan Lie's death in Prince Jiang's Mansion.

It is said that this dignitary, who was in the court, cried and cried all night after hearing the news, and died in prison in the early morning of the next day.

The time of his death was not auspicious, and he did not see the sun the next day.

The imperial physician's autopsy said that he died of anger.

When Yan Xi heard the news, he was drinking tea, and he took a big gulp with a smile on his face, feeling his whole body was at ease.

As soon as Jiang Pu died, the case was about to be settled.

This day was May 15th, and the judgment of Jiang Pu's case came down. Jiang Pu committed the crime of "great disrespect, disobedience, and great treason".

These three items are all extremely serious crimes, and the crimes involve the same family. Jiang's family was confiscated and his family was confiscated.

Surprisingly, Emperor Tianxi seems to have the ability to predict the future, and the day before Yan Xi's impeachment, he ordered Jiang Lei to return to Jingdu to change his defense.

Therefore, when the Jiang Pu case happened, Jiang Dashuai had already been withdrawn from the front line a day earlier, and was on his way back to Beijing after being summoned.

There was no unrest in the Western Region.

Jiang Chang, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, was also sent to jail, because Yan Xi didn't make a special trip to deliver the bento, this one carried it a little longer, and he was tortured to death until today.

Meanwhile, new appointments came down.

Because the Jiang faction was purged of many people, many positions were vacated in the five mansions and six ministries.

It's just that there are not many people with enough qualifications. Emperor Tianxi promoted a group of newcomers in a big way.

First of all, the first assistant of Inner Pavilion was vacant, and Mei Ren's second assistant for many years was well-received.After Mei Ren came to power, because he was born in a poor family, he soon decided to promote a group of poor people.

For a vacant seat in the Inner Pavilion, Emperor Tianxi chose Pei Qingshi, the current Secretary of the Ministry of Works and a scholar of the Wenhua Palace.

Pei Qingshi entered the cabinet, and the father and son, in order to avoid suspicion, Taifu Pei Hong voluntarily resigned from the Inner Pavilion and concentrated on guarding the affairs of the Hanlin Academy.

The personnel changes under the Inner Pavilion are mainly in the household department.

Hubu was the most heavily cleaned, and Shangshu and Shilang were all gone.

Emperor Tianxi referred Mei Yun from the fourth-rank Zuoqian capital censor of the inspection institute to the third-rank right servant of the household department.

Although Mei Yun's promotion was fast, since she was only promoted to one level, it actually made sense.After all, Mei Yun was originally a direct descendant of Emperor Tianxi, and during the years when he was the seventh prince's companion, he often listened to teachings at Emperor Tianxi's knees.

But Mei Yun became a celebrity in Jingdu all at once, because there was no one in the household department above Mei Yun, and Meiyun became the actual helm of the household department.

However, Emperor Tianxi did not arrange anyone with more qualifications to be above Mei Yun, and all the officials already knew what the emperor wanted.

Because Shang Baiheng risked his life in the Jiang case to write a sacrificial oration, he won the hearts of the people, and was promoted from the Hanlin Academy from the fifth-rank attendant lecturer to the official department's Wenxuan Qingli Sizheng fifth-rank doctor.

At the same time, Zhang Zhiping, a colleague of the Imperial Academy who had made friends with him, was moved to be a fifth-rank member of the Ministry of Officials, and he was appointed as a fifth-rank doctor of the Ministry of Officials, and his rank was half a grade lower than that of Shang Baiheng.

When this appointment came out, the five government and six ministries were in an uproar.

The Ministry of Officials, also known as the "Heavenly Official", is in charge of the appointment, examination, and awarding of civil servants in Da Jing. It is the first-class real power yamen among the six ministries.

The Wenxuan Department and the Gonggong Department are the core departments in the Ministry of Officials, which can be said to be the real power among the real powers.

The Selection, Assignment, Appointment and Removal of Civil Officials is in charge of the Selection, Assignment, and Removal of Civil Officials, and the Merit Examination Department is in charge of assessing the merits and demerits of civil servants. For these two positions, good friends Shang Baiheng and Zhang Zhi were selected, and Shang Baiheng was deliberately raised by half a level, which is obvious.From now on, Shang Baiheng will have the final say.

What's more, as long as these two work together, they can even take the official secretary and the assistant minister to the sky. If Shang Baiheng is ambitious, all Da Jing civil servants will be able to follow Shang Baiheng's lead.

This made the government and the public have to re-examine Shang Baiheng.

And these transfers are not the most eye-catching.

Because Xuan Yin's transfer is even more intriguing.

There is a rule of thumb in Da Jing for the promotion of officials, and officials can be promoted up to two levels at a time.

Xuan Yin was originally the head of the Ministry of Works Yu Hengqing's official sixth rank, but this time he can only be promoted to the fourth rank at most.

But there is no official position in the sixth rank, so Yan Xi was very delicately transferred to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to take over the fourth rank Youqian capital censor vacated by Mei Yun.

As soon as Xuan Yin's appointment came out, all the officials tacitly congratulated him.

After Xuan Yin's various favored appointments since he became an official, as well as Xuan Yin's impeachment of Jiang Pu and the acquiescence of Emperor Tianxi, everyone is well aware of Xuan Yin's future promotion-it won't be long before Xuan Yin's promotion, the nextIf one step jumps two more steps, it is... the second grade Shangshu.

This speed is no longer a promotion, it is simply a flight.

However, all the officials couldn't find any faults, even the old imperial envoys in the Metropolitan Procuratorate had nothing to criticize against Xuan Yin.

Because Xuan Yin has significant achievements in every step of his promotion.

Participating in such thrilling things as Liu Bing and Jiang Pu, if an ordinary official can do one in a lifetime, it is enough to leave a name in history.

With these two achievements, Xuan Yin can already be biographyed in history books, and it is not a problem to be promoted to Shangshu.

In fact, it is not that there are ways to be promoted beyond the rules, but Xuan Yin is not arrogant or impetuous, and still promotes according to the established rules.In this way, not only blocked the impeachment of the imperial envoy, but also won the unanimous praise of the imperial court.

What's even more shocking is that Xuan Yin is only nineteen years old, and he has a bright future with great potential.

Inside and outside the court, it was tacitly understood that this man would join the cabinet sooner or later.

The morning court on May 15 was peaceful.

At the court meeting, Emperor Tianxi spoke very kind words, and everyone felt that the emperor was very happy. This was the first time that the officials saw Emperor Tianxi laughing on his own initiative since the imperial concubine left.

So everyone peeked at Xuan Yin, the hero of Jiang Pu's case.

Yan Xi is now the fourth rank, and she goes to court every day in Fengtian Hall, so she finally doesn't need to be exposed to the sun.

He stood at the end of the line in the hall, and all the officials looked back at him.

Yan Xi watched her nose with her eyes, and her heart with her nose, she just didn't know.

Song Beiming stared straight ahead the whole time without turning to look at him.

Yan Xi's eyes glanced at Song Beiming's back indifferently, and as soon as Emperor Tianxi said to leave the court, he left with the crowd.

Song Beiming's wheelchair was pushed more and more, and he couldn't walk fast.

When Yan Xi passed by Song Beiming, he didn't even glance at him, and he didn't even look back after he passed by.

The two of them ignored each other.

Song Beiming looked at Yan Xi's retreating back, and even doubted the efficacy of the "Rong" medicine that Mr. Xia Xiao had told him.

Theoretically, "Rong" should be dependent on "Ku", and will become more and more dependent with more contacts.

But that indifferent person has never looked for him since he took one of his cloaks ten days ago.

Although Yan Xi still used the green cloth carriage of Beiyuan Palace every day, he never once asked Fang Xun about his movements, let alone asked Fang Xun to talk to him.

Song Beiming thought: It's so cruel, he doesn't even give him a straight look.

But Song Beiming, being a "ku", misses "rong" more and more strongly.

No... Song Beiming couldn't deceive himself, what he missed was actually the taste of Yan Xi.

Song Beiming squeezed his fingers, the warmth of the other party on it had already faded away, he thought: the ruthless man, at the court meeting to impeach Jiang Pu, he hooked, teased and rejected that look, he was forced to do so because of his requestgiven.

After using him, he turned his head and refused to recognize him.

Duyue returned to Jingdu a few days ago, originally to arrange to defend Yan Xi, but Song Beiming worried that Yan Xi's picky temper would become more impatient after getting acquainted with Fang Xun, so he left Fang Xunquan to Yan Xi.

Fang Xun is a Mingwei general of the fourth rank, and he also has to go to the early court. After the court, he very consciously follows Yan Xi.

When Baiguan saw this for the first time, he was really incredulous for a while, and he is no longer surprised by it today.

From the point of view of the officials, the fact that the little prince of Beiyuan and the champion of Xinke got together, from being late to the impeachment of Jiang Pu, has been confirmed.

Now the two of them didn't even have to cover up, and shared the guards openly, all civil and military officials were shocked to the point of numbness.

Moreover, Emperor Tianxi obviously knew about the affairs of these two current celebrities, and even the emperor didn't say anything, so everyone began to bless them implicitly.

The two parties tacitly declined to comment.

Yan Xi was off work today, and felt something was wrong when he left the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Someone in the dark was watching him.

The green woolen carriage of Beiyuan Palace was waiting outside the gate as usual, when Fang Xun saw him, he jumped off the carriage and opened the door.

Yan Xi glanced around and roughly judged the opponent's position.

The person who came here knew that Fang Xun would come to pick him up, but dared to cast a net to assassinate him, his skills must be superior to Fang Xun.

Yan Xi stopped in front of the carriage.

He was thinking in his mind: Without Fang Xun, he should be able to retreat all by himself, but with Fang Xun it is not necessarily so. He has to protect Fang Xun and solve the problem of exposing his martial arts in front of Fang Xun.trouble.

So Yan Xi said: "General Fang, today I want to walk by myself, you should go back first."

Fang Xun was slightly stunned, he wanted to say that this was his task, the words rolled down his throat twice, but under Yan Xi's cold gaze, he swallowed them back.

His half master is more difficult to deal with than his serious master, and his words are even more unambiguous. If he dares to disobey, it will be difficult for a while.

Fang Xun could only go back with the car.

Back at Beiyuan Palace, Song Beiming saw that Fang Xun had come back so early, and immediately asked with a dark face, "Why didn't you follow him?"

Fang Xun said with a bitter face: "Master Xuan won't let me follow, I don't seem very happy to see him."

Song Beiming muttered to himself: "He has had happy events these days, and it's really unreasonable if things don't go his way. Yesterday was Wen Lan's first seven, and he finished Wen Lan's religious affairs, and it's time to go back to the Xuanzhai today."

Fang Xun sensed that his master didn't like him coming back alone, so he hurriedly added: "However, he doesn't seem very unhappy, so don't worry, master."

Song Beiming glanced at Fang Xun speechlessly.

Fang Xun also cursed in his heart that what he said was nonsense, so he simply didn't save himself anymore, and he threw up his robe and knelt down.

Just then, a letter came from the pigeon department.

The more he heard the "cuckoo", he went to get the letter, and his face changed drastically after reading it.

He rushed into the main hall to report: "Master, Zi Yuan Feige sent a message saying that Master Xuan has not returned to Xuan's house, and the hidden guards following him have lost him."

Song Beiming's face sank suddenly, and he tried to get up.

Seeing this, Fang Xun knelt down nervously and begged, "Master, you still need to raise your legs so that you can go to the battlefield in the future. You must not be careless."

Song Beiming glanced at Fang Xun coldly.

Fang Xun followed Song Beiming, knowing that Song Beiming's expression was extremely annoyed, he backed away trembling in fright, bowed his head and knelt down.

Song Beiming stared in thought, he reacted quickly, grabbed a clue, and asked, "Is Jiang Lei coming to Jingdu soon?"

Du Yue said, "It's only been two days."

"Not good." Song Beiming's face turned cold, the figure flickered, and there was no one in the wheelchair.

Yan Xi left the Metropolitan Procuratorate, deliberately following the direction of the other party's temptation all the way.

Going further and further away, gradually leaving the city.

Yan Xi could realize that the Beiyuan dark guards who were protecting him had all been thrown away on the road.

The only one who can keep up with him now is Wei Chifeng.

From this point of view, the assassin's skill is even higher than Wei Chifeng.

And there is more than one assassin.

Yan Xi's emotions that had been suppressed for many days gradually turned into excitement.

He hadn't done anything for a while. Although Wen Lan and Daodao's vengeance had been avenged, it was still a pity that he didn't kill the enemy with his own hands.

Now someone personally sent him to Yan Xi's door to appease Yan Xi, the innocence and innocence in his eyes sank, replaced by a dark and cold light.

Yan Xi walked casually, pulled a willow branch casually, and picked the leaves on it while walking.

One slice, two slices, three slices.

It's windy behind my ears.

Just as Yan Xi squeezed the wicker tightly, he first smelled the "dried" smell in the wind.

He was stunned in disbelief, and immediately and keenly released the strength accumulated in his muscles.

Almost at the same instant, his eyes regained the usual clear and pleasant brightness.

The next moment, as he expected, Song Beiming approached.

But to his surprise, Song Beiming pulled him into his arms.

There are no wheelchairs.

At the same time, just above Yan Xi's head, the sharp golden sound of sword clashing resounded.

The incoming assassin roared heart-piercingly: "Son Xuan Yin, pay back the Jiang family's blood debt!"
