Doctor Amnesiac, but not completely amnesiac

Now, when Qiao Yelan rushed towards him, he found that he had no way to resist.

The general is his old friend, and the two of them know each other too thoroughly - this is a dead end, even if they join hands now, they cannot fight against Qiao Yelan.

Because His Majesty is standing behind Qiao Yelan.

Moreover, they are no longer qualified to shake His Majesty's trust in Qiao Yelan.

What else could they do? Raise an army? Eliminate the emperor's entourage?

What a joke - the severity of this matter is that both the Grand Tutor and the Grand Commandant would rather die than do it.

Even if the emperor succeeded in clearing the court, so what? The emperor of Great Yan could not control his army and civil officials, so he had to replace someone else in that position - otherwise it would be pure rebellion.

Who else in the Dayan royal family can be replaced now?

Wei Yanwu?

What the fuck is the difference between that and the current situation?

Is there a big gap between Wei Yanwu's trust in Qiao Yelan and the trust given by the current emperor?

Another wave of dizziness.

The tutor panted, held onto the back of the chair, and sat down.

Now even Minister Ning could see that something was not right with the Grand Tutor.

He was about to ask, but he saw the tutor waved his hands weakly and lowered his head.

Before Qiao Yelan left Beijing, he spent half a month to crush Cai Yan and his Cai party; after returning to Beijing, he spent another half a month to crush himself and the general...

The total sales of the three of them together equals Qiao Yelan's monthly sales - and this includes the two ministers of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue.

How long did Qiao Yelan live?

How many months has he been doing this business?

"There's nothing for you to do now, go down."

"Hey? But teacher..."

"Go down—"

The Master suddenly let out a heart-wrenching cough.

"roll!"

Minister Ning shuddered, retracted the hand he had stretched out to support the Tutor, bowed, and left the courtyard dejectedly.

Now, there are only Taifu and Qiao Yelan left in the archives - oh yes, and Ace.

The tutor took a deep breath, raised his head and stared at Qiao Yelan.

"We are already doing what you said, whether it's Tianji Pavilion or Yumen - what do you want in exchange for letting Dayan go?"

"Master Taifu, you are joking. Isn't everything I do for the prosperity of Da Yan?"

"This place is isolated. Even if Your Majesty sends someone, no sound will be heard. Just give me a definite answer."

The old man sat on the chair with his back hunched, no longer having the upright posture he had before.

"You have already taken down Cai Yan for His Majesty. Among the six ministers in the court, Chen Fan is the most respectful to you. The ministers of the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Works, and even the Ministry of Justice all have a good impression of you because of your previous actions. His Majesty relies heavily on you."

"I hold the position of Minister of Rites concurrently, and the Minister of War follows the Grand Marshal. Now the Grand Marshal and I will both be brought down by this case, and the two people who come up must have nothing to do with us, and they are also people without foundation. Therefore, no matter who they are, they will be grateful to you and curry favor with you..."

"The three ministers have all fallen, their wings have all been broken, and half of the six ministries are grateful and respectful to you, while the other half are friendly and friendly to you... Moreover, you have been in Dayan for less than ten months, and you have been traveling abroad for nine of those months. Even when you were away, the diplomatic achievements you made can be said to be the best since the establishment of the Honglu Temple."

Qiao Yelan bowed modestly.

"Your Excellency, Master, thank you for your compliment."

"Cai Yan has been in the court for decades, and his students and former officials are all over the country. He has been trying to build connections with your majesty for several years since your majesty became seriously ill. But even during the heyday of the Cai Party, it was not even one-tenth of your current situation - even so, he can suppress your majesty in the court."

The Grand Tutor stared at Qiao Yelan.

"With your abilities, it's no problem at all."

"This is a heart-breaking statement, Master Taifu, please do not say it again."

Qiao Yelan still spoke in an official tone in a calm and relaxed manner.

Ace on the side had a tense expression on his face, and by moving his body sideways, he had already vaguely separated Qiao Yelan and the tutor.

He didn't understand what the two men were talking about, but his sense as a guard had already told him that the old man opposite him was in a bad mental state.

"Are you still going to answer me like that?"

"Why not?"

The old man frowned.

"You...you didn't tell His Majesty about this?"

"If I tell your majesty about this, do you think I will come to see you with only one guard?"

Qiao Yelan asked back.

"We have been dealing with each other for a long time. If I really want to force you and the general into a desperate situation, do you think you can still see me in the middle?"

The Grand Tutor remained silent.

If the other party was really plotting against me, I was afraid that I would not be able to see Qiao Yelan until the moment the butcher's knife fell on my neck.

"Then what is the purpose of your visit this time?"

"I don't have much friendship with the Great Yan Commander. It's just that we had some tacit cooperation under the Blood Peak six years ago. There are not many people in the world who can cooperate with me."

Qiao Yelan smiled gently and elegantly.

"This time I have a rare opportunity to stay in the capital for a long time, so I want to visit the Grand Marshal. However, I am short of money and cannot afford a gift that can open the Grand Marshal's door, so I came to borrow one from the Grand Tutor."

The Grand Tutor remained silent.

Can’t you just stop being a riddle teller? You almost gave me a heart attack just by borrowing something.

"It's just that I saw that Master Taifu seemed to want to use me, so I felt uncomfortable. Although Babel Tower is a business, I don't want to do such forced buying and selling, and naturally I don't like others to use me."

The old man's heart skipped a beat.

He originally thought that he was giving Qiao Yelan a way out and that he would take the opportunity to see Minister Ning, but he didn't expect that Qiao Yelan actually felt that he was using him.

"...I have absolutely no such intention."

"I hope so."

Qiao Yelan said calmly.

"When can I see the Grand Commandant?"

"...I still need some time to plan this matter."

"It doesn't matter. He's the one who's running out of time, not me."

The other party's words made Taifu's heart jump again, and the shadow in his heart came over him again.

"Five days later, it will be the ninth day of the ninth month. I will invite the Grand Commandant to go to the top of the mountain. We will have a good chat on the top of Tianyue Mountain."

"it is good."

Qiao Yelan said calmly, motioning Ace to push him away.

The old man watched Qiao Yelan leave, knowing that today had finally come to an end.

He felt a little bit like he was having heart failure. Was it so scary to be with Qiao Yelan with his brain?

Qiao Yelan, who had already gone out, threw back a few words lightly.

"I know you want to find a suitable excuse to hide it from His Majesty - but you seem to have forgotten your apprentice's character. Judging from your reaction today, if you want to keep this matter within the Ministry of Civil Affairs, you have to find Minister Ning quickly, otherwise he might resign and make things worse."

Before he could finish his words, the tutor had already jumped out from the yard behind Qiao Yelan.

The old man swore that he would always carry three bottles of quick-acting heart-relief pills with him from now on!

---------------------------------------------------------

“Ahem… ahem.”

"You haven't recovered from your cold yet?"

The tutor's voice was somewhat doubtful.

"I guess it's not going to get better."

Another person said calmly.

"Go over there. Leave this sunny spot to me so I can get more sun."

"Drink more tea later. This Tianyue Spiritual Spring will be good for you."

However, the person who was talking to the Grand Tutor was not impressed by this.

"Tell me, it's been five or six years since we last met outside the palace walls. Is there anything you can't say in the court?"

General Dayan stared at his old friend and took the initiative to change the topic.

"So, the late emperor issued this order five or six years ago?"

The Grand Tutor did not look at the Grand Commandant, but looked at the scenery below the mountain.

The commander was silent for a moment.

"It's...Minister Ning, right? The child must be suffering from inner torment, so it's not surprising that he took the initiative to reveal everything."

"It's not him. Minister Ning is the successor I chose. His ability and character are naturally the best, so he never mentioned this matter in front of me."

"Then how did you find out?"

The tutor finally turned around.

"I found it when I was looking through the documents."

The general was startled, then shook his head.

"That kid from the Ning family is too rigid and square. I told him not to take the original with him, but just replace it with the fake copy. I didn't expect him not to listen."

"What are you going to do?"

The Grand Tutor didn't listen to the Grand Commandant's nonsense and went straight to the point, his voice extremely cold.

"What? Of course, it's for me, Dayan."

"Nonsense! If it's really for me, Dayan, why don't you go and explain this matter to His Majesty!"

The Master shouted angrily.

"My students keep telling me about the [order of the late emperor]. That was the late emperor! Not Your Majesty! No matter what order the late emperor has, it should first be reported to the current emperor. As for whether to continue doing this matter, it is naturally up to the emperor to decide!"

"By doing this, you are already destroying the foundation of Da Yan!"

"It's you who destroyed the foundation of Da Yan!"

The general's eyes were wide open with anger, and the murderous aura suddenly burst out from his body.

"What did you say?"

The old man asked again subconsciously.

He felt like he was about to laugh out of anger - the thief is crying thief and now it's my fault?

"Do you really think I don't know what you have done over the years? Do you really think His Majesty doesn't know?"

The commander's voice did not yield in the slightest.

"Let me ask you - what was the basis for the founding of our country, Da Yan?"

"Of course it's the mountain of giant beast corpses and the sea of ​​evil demon blood!"

"Since you know this is the case, what are you doing?"

"I am here......"

The Master narrowed his eyes suddenly.

"...Who told you this?"

"Of course it's the late emperor."

The Grand Marshal and the Grand Tutor were facing each other, neither of them was at a disadvantage in momentum.
