"Zheng Shangshu is really old and confused. He is begging for a break in the new year, and all the papers have come down, but he still pleaded for Yongyi Hou's mansion in public during the cabinet meeting yesterday. Who doesn't know that the saint is now angry? He really didn't see it clearly. The situation. No, it made Sheng Shang Longyan furious. It doesn't matter if he suffers, but all his colleagues at the scene are worried with him, alas... "
Chen Ying let out a long sigh.
After sighing, he couldn't help but look at Xie Wei's expression on the other side.
This is in Xiefu.
There was a dispute during the cabinet discussion yesterday afternoon, which almost caused a major incident. But Xie Wei seemed to have gone to Fengchen Palace to teach that female student and was not in the cabinet, so he was not involved in any trouble.
Chen Ying couldn't help but wonder if there was any mystery in the middle.
Therefore, taking advantage of the fact that there is no need to go to court early this morning, I took the time to hand in a famous post, came to thank Xie Wei, narrated what happened in the cabinet yesterday, and explored the words of this young master.
Although Xie Weiren was not there, things were clear.
The eunuch who came to the side hall of Fengchen Hall had already informed the situation.
Hearing Chen Ying's words, he was not surprised at all, and only said: "It is precisely because Zheng Shangshu will beg for a break in the new year, and all the books have come down, and those who are half-dead have fewer worries than others, so they dare to To do this kind of thing. If you change someone else, you might have to worry about wearing it on your head and a sash on your waist. Although the sage is angry, he has to guard against the lingering voices of the world, so he won't do anything to Zheng Shangshu."
What's the difference between saying this and saying nothing
Chen Ying certainly knew why the old man Zheng Shangshu dared to say so.
Can…
He looked a little embarrassed, looked at Xie Wei and said, "But Zheng Shangshu has been imprisoned, can he still be released?"
Xie Wei smiled: "It depends on Master Chen and the former members of the Criminal Department."
Chen Ying was thoughtful.
Xie Wei said indifferently: "The Holy One also misses the old love. Zheng Shangshu has devoted his life to the imperial court, and openly angered the Holy High when the cabinet was discussing. If he is not imprisoned, everyone will follow him. How can the emperor's majesty be preserved? There is also a lack of steps to go up the stairs. Besides, Master Chen and other colleagues in the Criminal Department are all Zheng Shangshu’s former subordinates. It is obvious to all how Zheng Shangshu behaves.
Walking in the officialdom, who is unwilling to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages
Just relying on the word "benevolence and righteousness" will not go far at all.
Chen Ying has always cared about the lives of others, and only thought about what the people above thought. Hearing Xie Wei's words, his heart was slightly awe-inspiring, and he understood what Xie Wei said: Although the emperor sent Zheng Shangshu to prison, But I also want to see the reaction of other people in the court to this matter; and Zheng Shangshu is his boss. He has been Zheng Shangshu's subordinate for many years, and even the position of servant was promoted by Zheng Shangshu. When he fell into the limelight, others might not say anything, secretly feeling that he was cold and affectionate, and secretly alienated; not to mention that the new minister Gu Chunfang was about to take office, I am afraid that he will also have to look at the character of the people under his hand.
The new official took office three fires.
How do you know that this fire doesn't burn yourself
As soon as Chen Ying thought of this, he was already clear, and he knew that Xie Wei would soon be entering the palace to teach. He didn't dare to bother too much.
Xie Wei was very indifferent: "Master Chen is very thoughtful, and he will be able to think of it in time. It's serious."
Chen Ying knew that this was just polite.
The so-called "taking time" means sooner or later, and some things are wrong if they are not done sooner. And Xie Wei's most powerful thing is probably that he has insight into the whole situation when everything just happened, he knows what to do, and he is in control of chess and strategizing.
He smiled without refuting, bowed again, and said goodbye.
Jian Shu, who was standing beside him, bowed slightly when he passed by, but when he watched the figure disappear at the end of the corridor, he frowned, and said to Xie Wei, "This Master Chen is really shrewd, everything can be done. I have to ask questions before leaving. I will ask you for advice on everything. One is that he is really cautious, and the other is that he also has the intention of showing favor to you. It is supposed to be obedient to Mr. He did it inappropriately. You clearly explained it to him, but when someone from the palace came to the Ministry of Punishment, he brought Zhang Zha, the head of the Qing Li Division, who had done a great job of investigating the case. I want to do what you explained, but I don't want to get involved, like a grass that will fall at any time."
It was about the incident that Ning Er was framed.
Over the years, Xie Wei has read the evil of the human heart, and I don't feel any surprise. Chen Ying did what he expected, but it was beyond his expectations if he didn't do this. Instead, let him think about it. Is there any problem with yourself.
After all, who in the world does not weigh the pros and cons
Therefore, he only said: "I know whether this person can be trusted or not."
After saying that, he put the tea cup in his hand, got up, and walked back to his qin hall from the hall where he usually entertains guests.
There was someone in the hall.
If Chen Ying had just come here to see him, I'm afraid he would be suspicious: How could the owner of the Youhuang Pavilion in Beijing appear here in such an early morning
Lv Xian stayed in Xie's house yesterday, just woke up not long ago, was yawning and wasting Xie Wei's good tea.
The best Dahongpao has been brewed for three times.
When he saw Xie Wei come in, he smiled: "I came back just in time, and I can catch up with a good soak. Then Chen Shilang sent him away?"
However, Xie Wei walked to the empty wall, stood still, raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, a trace of tiredness appeared in the corners of his eyes, and said, "The emperor is jealous of the Hou residence, and hates it. It is also the Houfu. Anyone who comes up to speak for the Houfu will stab the emperor in the spine. He may not do anything to this group of courtiers, but this account will be charged to the Houfu."
Lu Xian's eyelids jumped: "Isn't Zheng Shangshu ours?"
Xie Wei lowered his eyes slightly: "Someone must put the Houfu to death."
Everything that had happened since King Pingnan's rebellion against the Party appeared in Beijing had come to his mind, and one by one, it became clearer and clearer.
It's just that the clearer it is, the heavier the hostility that is surging in his chest.
He opened his fingers gently, covered his eyes, and also covered half of his face, and suddenly called out, "Jianshu!"
Jian Shu followed him to the Chuoqin Hall, but he didn't enter the door, he just waited by the door, and immediately said, "Yes."
Xie Wei said: "Immediately send people to the two camps in Fengtai and Tongzhou, and keep an eye on each post road. It doesn't matter what they send out. Anyone who sends a letter into the city will be intercepted, and even those who enter the city should not put one in! If you think about it. Anyone who spreads the news of the incident in Yongyi Hou's mansion can be arrested and killed."
The voice was icy cold.
Lu Xian felt a chill in his heart.
Jian Shu led the order to go, but he hesitated for a moment, but hesitantly asked: "If, if the person who wants to enter the city is a member of the sect..."
"… "
Xie Wei's fingers on his face slowly slid down, but the aura of swordsmen on the corners of his eyes and brows gradually became colder and heavier. After a long silence, he said in a low voice, "All kill first."
Morning mist floats in the courtyard.
There is still the aroma of tea in the Chuoqin Hall.
However, at this moment, Jianshu only felt that the cold air of the deep winter had invaded and added to the body in advance, and it had penetrated into the cracks of human bones, and it was already a slaughter without knowing it!
He looked at Xie Wei deeply, but after all, he knew that until now, there is no room for improvement in this matter with Mr. Xie, so he restrained all his mind, bowed and led the order to retreat.
Lu Xian couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
He looked at Xie Wei, and it was rare that he was not as relaxed as he usually joked: "Is the situation in teaching already unbearable to this situation?"
Xie Wei closed his eyes and said, "He's getting older and he can't wait, and Gongyi Cheng has never dealt with me. After I went to Beijing, the matter of Jinling was beyond my reach. If he didn't take the opportunity to calculate, he would lose his reputation. The world will not be chaotic, and the teaching will not be passed on. The Yongyi Houfu is very strict in governing the army and has a good reputation among the people. Once the design forced the Houfu into the Jedi, and the emperor was afraid to remove it, the court could lose the people's hearts. The teaching talent can make a comeback. Besides, the Marquis of Yongyi holds three points of military power in the world. The two major camps in Fengtai and Tongzhou are both stationed with heavy troops, and they are led by the Marquis. If someone takes this opportunity to spread news to incite the military, it will lead to mutiny in the army... "
This is a taboo for the king.
At that time, no matter whether the Yongyi Hou Mansion is innocent or not, I am afraid that it will not escape the crime of the nine clans' annihilation!
This point, Lu Xian can also think of.
only…
He actually wanted to say that if something happened to Yongyi Hou's mansion, it might not be a bad thing. After all, the court lost the people's hearts, the emperor lost the ministers' hearts, and the troops of the Fengtai and Tongzhou camps could take the opportunity to win over.
In this way, sacrificing a mansion can change the overall situation.
But here in Xie Wei, things seem to be extraordinary.
He didn't know the benefits, and he didn't dare to say anything, so after watching Xie Wei for a long time, he didn't say anything, just said: "Where did you send Daoqin? I found out that You Fangyin wants to see Ren Wei today. Zhi, there is a shortage of personal inquiries."
Xie Wei glanced at him and frowned: "The sword is not free."
Lu Xian suddenly stared.
Xie Wei lightly reminded him: "You are too obsessed with You Fangyin."
Lu Xian didn't care about it at all, he snorted, and he was rather preoccupied: "I, Lu Zhaoyin, lost the entrance exam and entered the official position to you Xie Wei, it would be shameful enough. I have studied hard in business, asking myself the timing and calculating favors are all excellent. After all, it is impossible for you to be in business, Xie Wei, so I never thought that anyone would press me on this road. That time with Shengsi, I was taken first by others. Can you bear this tone?"
Xie Wei was expressionless: "I can."
Lu Xian: "..."
Can this bitch still have a good chat!
He wanted to refute, but after thinking about Xie Wei's life over the years, he didn't have the confidence to open his mouth, so he finally waved his hand and said angrily: "It doesn't matter, if you don't borrow it, you can't borrow it, I can't go by myself. Have you checked it? You Fangyin is a small one, and I, Lu Zhaoyin, are here to capture it!"
After he finished speaking, he drank the tea he was holding in one gulp, and walked straight out of the Chuoqin Hall.
Xie Wei did not stop him.
After Lu Xian walked to the gate of the courtyard, he looked back and saw that Xie was facing the wall again, so he couldn't help but scolded: "Grandma, you really don't stop me! Okay, it's ruthless. I have to do things this time. It's beautiful, let you see it!"
After scolding, he snorted, put his hands behind his back, shook his fan, and went out into the street.
Shuxiang Inn is still the same.
Lu Xian thought about going to Ren Weizhi to talk first, or to find out who else wanted to enter the stock. Unexpectedly, he stepped into the door of the inn with his front foot, and when he raised his back foot, he saw You Fangyin, who was standing there talking to the shopkeeper.
Well, the enemy's road is narrow.
Hearing that Ren Weizhi received another sum of money recently, Lu Xian secretly checked that it came from the uncle's house in Qingyuan. And during that time, he happened to see You Fangyin in this inn.
This time, he was a little confused.
Could it be that the matter of raw silk last time was indeed led by the uncle's house, and this insignificant prostitute was just a pawn sent by the uncle's house
Thinking of this, Lu Xian put on a smile on his face, wearing a long gown was quite gentle, he actually stepped forward and bowed his hands to You Fangyin, saying, "I met a girl here last time. I heard that the girl is also in contact with Young Master Ren, and today the fate has arrived, and we will meet again. Why don't you go to see Young Master Ren now?"
You Fangyin was stunned for a moment.
She is still living in prison now, and the last time You Yue entered the yamen with her was not a glorious thing, so the Yu residence did not make any public noises at all. And she waited for You Yue to have entered the palace before picking a suitable day, asking Zhou Yinzhi to release her own, and preparing to do what Jiang Xuening explained to her.
She did not expect to meet Lu Xian.
He didn't even expect the other party to take the initiative to talk to him.
Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, Lu Xian asked again tentatively, "Miss?"
You Fangyin just came back to her senses, but she was cautious and cautious. She didn't know the details of this person's identity, let alone what her intentions were, not to mention that she saw Ren Zhizhi today, and there were other things she wanted to talk about, which was inconvenient. Others are present.
So she lowered her head and said, "I'm not familiar with you, so I'd better go by myself."
"… "
Lu Xian has been rolling around in the business field for a long time, and he has not heard anyone reject him with such a straightforward reason for a long time.
unfamiliar...
His smile was a little stiff: "The girl said it too."
You Fangyin lowered her eyebrows and didn't dare to say more. She just bowed to him as a salute, thanked the shopkeeper next to her, and headed upstairs with her head buried in it.
Lu Xian had no choice but to watch from below.
The more You Fangyin went up, the more nervous she became. When she was in front of Ren Weizhi, she took a deep breath and closed her eyes, and when she opened her eyes again, she was already determined, and knocked on the door, "Is Mr. Ren here? "
Ren Weizhi has been in the inn these days.
Because there was already money coming in, and some people were willing to pay for the shares, he gradually had the hope of returning to Sichuan to revive his family's salt field. So, these days, he was no longer so haggard, and his eyebrows were a little more radiant.
At first glance, he was vaguely handsome.
He smiled and invited You Fangyin to enter: "I didn't go out after passing the news yesterday. I was waiting here. I didn't expect Miss You to come so early."
You Fangyin entered and sat down.
She took two things straight out of her sleeve and put them on the table: two silver notes totaling 10,000 taels were placed on the left, and a thin sheet of paper with the birth date was placed on the right.
Ren Weizhi was stunned when he saw it.
He said, "Miss You today..."
You Fang groaned, "I'll pay for the shares."
Ren Weizhi's heart skipped a beat, and almost immediately thought that 10,000 taels would be enough, but when he looked at You Fangyin's expression again, it didn't seem so simple.
Sure enough, You Fang said: "But I have two conditions."
Ren Weizhi said solemnly, "Miss, please speak."
You Fangyin sat opposite him and said, "First, the dry shares that I have paid for and received must be written in the contract when they can be transferred to others, and you have no right to interfere."
Ren Weizhi frowned suddenly, but then loosened it again.
He said: "It is very difficult for others to pay. The girl is willing to pay, and when the money is in my hands, it can be invested in the salt field. It makes no difference to me how the dividends will be distributed in the future. Although there seems to be no precedent in the business field. , but it’s not impossible.”
This is promised.
You Fangyin nodded.
Ren Weizhi said, "What about the second?"
You Fangyin folded her hands in front of her, lowered her eyes slightly, and after a moment of silence, she raised her head and looked directly at him, saying, "The second is, marry me."
Ren Weizhi: "… "
Sitting opposite You Fangyin, he was stunned when he looked at this beautiful girl.
Lu Xian is good at everything, and his intellect is also top-notch, but he has a bad temper.
Everything doesn't want to be left behind.
Before Xie Wei left the manor and entered the palace, after thinking about it, he still ordered Jian Shu, who had just returned, and said, "Lv Zhaoyin is acting out of the way, and the overall situation in Beijing is in turmoil, so there is no time to take care of You Fangyin. Dao Qin is back for a while. Lu Zhaoyin is on command, so that he will not worry about it all day long and not do his right job."
Jianshu laughed and responded, "Yes."
Only then did Xie Wei put down the curtain of the car and enter the palace by car.
Although there is a class today, there is neither a feast day to teach, nor a big court discussion, so the time to enter the palace is a little late.
When he arrived at Fengchen Hall, Wang Jiugang, a student at the Hanlin Academy, had talked about calligraphy and left.
Everyone is resting and playing.
Zhou Baoying slipped out of the hall quietly and hid behind the thick corridor with a smile on her face. She took out a small oil-paper bag from her sleeves with bright eyes.
It's bulging with stuff inside.
She opened it carefully, counted it again, and sighed: "The more you eat, the less you eat, but you can't ask Sister Ning to give me a little more, that's too much..."
Xie Wei saw this scene when he came over, because he probably knew that this little girl from the Zhou family loved to eat, so he didn't pay attention.
But the next moment Zhou Baoying actually took out a piece of peach cake from the oil paper bag.
Xie Wei stopped.
Zhou Baoying took a bite, her downcast eyes suddenly saw a corner of the blue-green Taoist robe appearing under the steps in front of her, she suddenly stiffened, her eyes lifted up along the corner, and she saw Xie Wei standing at her before.
She was so frightened that she immediately took down the half of the peach cake still in her mouth.
Say hello to Xie Wei cleanly: "Hello, Mr. Xie."
Xie Wei's eyes fell on her hands and on the oil paper bag, and smiled gently at her: "Did the palace also make peach cake yesterday?"
His brows were clear, and his smile was even more like ink on a distant mountain.
Zhou Baoying was less nervous for a while. Although she didn't have much contact with Xie Wei except for school, she somehow felt that Mr. Xie was an easy-going person, so she smiled and said happily, "It seems that I didn't do it. But Sister Ning has it, my peach cake was given by Sister Ning, but it's delicious! It's even better than the one made in the palace before, and it's even better than the one that Rongrong brought last time!"
Xie Wei looked at her peacefully: "Is it so delicious?"
Zhou Baoying nodded vigorously: "Of course!"
She looked at Xie Wei, and then at the few peach cakes left in her oil-paper bag. She remembered her parents' teaching, bit her lip, and seemed to make up her mind to hand the opened oil-paper bag to Xie Wei. : "Would you like to try it?"
The smile on Xie Wei's lips deepened, and he said, "Then try it."
He raised his hand and took the paper bag over.
Zhou Baoying's eyes widened immediately, looking at her empty hands, her mouth opened slightly, as if she wanted to say something.
Xie Wei said softly, "What?"
At this moment, a strange chill climbed up from behind. Zhou Baoying looked at the smiling face in front of her, and for some reason she remembered the demons of Yan's House painted on the wall in the temple.
But this is also a momentary illusion.
She became a little dazed and wanted to say, "I'm just asking you to take a slice, not all of it for you", but when the words came to her lips, Mr. Xie looked at him with such a warm and indifferent gaze, and she was too embarrassed to say it, He could only scratch his head, and reluctantly said, "It's nothing."
Xie Wei carried the paper bag with his slender fingers and turned around.
The moment he turned his back, all expressions disappeared from his face.
He entered the side hall.
The little eunuch outside immediately came in to set up the tea set and set the stove to boil water.
Xie Wei put the paper bag with the peach cake on the table and sat quietly for a long time.
The little eunuch bowed and said, "Master Young Master, today there are new cakes made in the imperial pantry, do you still want them not to bring them?"
Xie Wei closed his eyes and did not speak.
The little eunuch was a little trembling.
After a long time, Xie Wei pointed to the paper bag on the table, and said calmly and without hesitation: "You don't have to prepare for it in the future, just throw this thing away."
