"Oh," Su Mingfeng exclaimed, "What are you kicking me for? I wanted to remind her just now, but she drinks so fast, what can I do?" Su Mingfeng looked at Xie Jing Xing, "Besides, it is the one who suffers anyway. People, it's not you, what do you care about."
Xie Jing Xing ignored him, sat down at the table, and asked with deep eyes, "Is what she said about the soldiers and horses true?"
Hearing this, Su Mingfeng's face was ugly, and under Xie Jing Xing's sharp eyes, he said with difficulty, "Not bad."
“Why did you hide it from me?” Xie Jing Xing asked threateningly. Su Mingfeng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Only my father has discussed this matter with me in private, and I have never said it to anyone. It is even more impossible for my father. If he is not careful, he will lose his black gauze hat. Who would joke about it. I thought I'd tell you after a while... But how did Miss Shen know about this? Could it be that they also know people in the military department? But the people in the military department will definitely not talk nonsense about this.
Xie Jing Xing glanced at Su Mingfeng, even though Su Mingfeng was also a talented person, he was protected from every drop of water in the Su family since he was a child, and he had never experienced any major storms. Speaking of which, Shen Miao's trump cards appeared one after another, but it exceeded his expectations time and time again. Xie Jing Xing gave Shen Miao a "retreat" strategy, but did not expect that Shen Miao would not use his strategy at all. Joining the Su family and other familiar ministers to participate in Shen Xin's book, and doing the opposite, can indeed solve Shen Xin's urgent needs. However, the emperor's mind was unpredictable, and this time he let Shen Xin go. The Shen family's army was powerful, and one day he would still be regarded as a thorn in the side of the emperor. You can hide for a while, but you can't hide for a lifetime.
It’s just… Did Shen Miao really not think about this level? Xie Jing Xing did not think so.
Seeing that Xie Jingxing did not say anything, but his always cynical face had a frowning look on his face, Su Mingfeng also became nervous, knowing that although this friend looked casual, he understood the pattern of the DPRK more thoroughly than anyone else. Su Mingfeng asked, "Why, what's the problem?"
Xie Jing Xing shook his head, “What do you think?”
"It's very possible that the horse is sick with horse plague. Besides, this is a serious matter, and my father is the commander in charge of the military horses. If something goes wrong, the Su family will bear the brunt." Su Mingfeng said, "If Miss Shen really didn't lie to me, I thought it would be okay. Give it a try. Although it is difficult to convince my father, but... I will do my best." After a pause, Su Mingfeng looked at Xie Jing Xing, "What do you think about this transaction?"
Xie Jing Xing raised his eyebrows: “The biggest winner of the transaction is definitely not you, but you are not at a loss.” He glanced at Su Mingfeng: “Just do as she said.”
Su Mingfeng lowered his head and hesitated: "But... if we unite to impeach Shen Xin, she will not be afraid of self-defeating."
“Didn’t you find it?” Xie Jing Xing said with a half-smile, “She knows the Emperor’s mind better than you.”
Su Mingfeng did not speak, but saw Xie Jingxing stand up, Su Mingfeng was stunned: "Where are you going?"
“Please make a commander.” Xie Jing Xing returned to his previous lazy appearance, “I have to show it to the Marquis of Lin’an.”
… .
Outside the gate of the Xie residence, Shen Miao put on a bamboo hat and asked Mo Qing who was beside her, "Just now in Su Mingfeng's house, do you feel there are other people?"
Mo Qing was startled: "I didn't feel anyone else was there, but what did Miss find?"
Shen Miao shook her head. Mo Qing's martial arts are excellent, even he didn't find anyone in the room, there should be no one. It’s just… Shen Miao felt a little strange in her heart why Su Mingfeng kept glancing at the screen. Although she didn't have any martial arts skills, her ability to observe words and expressions was very consummate, and it was more than enough to deal with a young boy like Su Mingfeng.
Now that I think about it, the two teacups on the table are also a little weird.
Shen Miao shook her head and put the messy thoughts in her head. No matter whether or not there was someone behind the screen, what she wanted to say to Su Mingfeng had already been said, and based on her understanding of Su Mingfeng, this matter It should be possible.
After getting into the carriage, Gu Yu asked, "Girl, will Young Master Su help Master and Madam?"
Jing Zhe and Gu Yu were outside, not knowing what Shen Miao and Su Mingfeng said, they just thought that Shen Miao was asking Su Mingfeng to help. However, the relationship between the Su family and the Shen family was just like that, and they were a little uneasy.
Shen Miao nodded, "Yes."
In the previous life, the Su family was beheaded for selling soldiers and horses privately. Although the heavenly family could not tolerate an old-fashioned family like Nanbo, they always had to do everything on the surface. In addition to the evidence of selling soldiers and horses, there is another incident that is also recorded as a crime, that is, in the early 1969 years of Ming Qi, the army horse under the control of Pingnan Bo Su Yu became ill, and even caused Xiaobo's horse plague, but later Ping Nanbo found a veterinarian from the countryside to bring the epidemic under control. Except for the confidants of the military and horse department, there was no rumor about it. So everyone doesn't know. Later, Ping Nanbo's house was raided, and the matter was also exposed.
Shen Miao was still the empress and she had carefully read the dossier on Ping Nanbo's guilt and thus knew where the veterinarian lived. In fact, even if Shen Miao did not come to find Su Mingfeng today, when Xiaobo's horse plague spreads, Su Yu would be able to find the veterinarian and bring the epidemic under control. The reason why Shen Miao did not let Su Mingfeng tell Su Yu about this was to take advantage of the time difference.
Su Mingfeng used other reasons to ask Su Yu to submit a book, and she also took advantage of this condition, which was just right.
It’s just… Shen Miao’s face sank, Shen Yuan handed over the evidence of the Shen family’s disobedience to the emperor’s orders to Fu Xiu Yi before he died, this is definitely not complete. Fu Xiu Yi actually started to deal with the Shen family right now, which made Shen Miao feel a little nervous, and now she does not have a complete trump card to compete with Fu Xiu Yi. The time was immature and there was no opportunity, but it really answered Xie Jing Xing's word - retreat.
However, how to withdraw is also a problem. Retreat to three homes is a retreat, and taking retreat as advance is also retreat. How to get out of her body after arranging everything is what she should worry about now.
Because of not being able to go out for too long to cause suspicion, Shen Miao quickly returned to the Shen residence. In the Shen residence, when everyone saw her coming back, they thought it was Shen Miao and Feng An Ning who had complained. As for Shen Xin and Luo Xue Yan, there was still no sign of returning from the palace. It was probably because of what Shen Gui and Shen Wan said, and the rest of the Shen family were actually watching the excitement.
Having become accustomed to the appearance of the Shen family seeing the big room as their enemies, Shen Miao did not even look at them and went back to the west courtyard. Jing Zhe and Gu Yu originally thought that Shen Miao was overwhelmed tonight and would probably sit at the table for another night like yesterday, but who would have thought that Shen Miao would get on the bed after washing up early, causing the several maids to look at each other in dismay, getting more and more excited. Worried for Shen Miao.
Shen Miao was lying on the bed, looking at the four-cornered sachet hanging on the carved bed post, and slowly closed her eyes.
She has done everything she can, and now, the only thing she can do is to wait.
Waiting for the Su family to unite with other courtiers on Zhezi, etc... Emperor Wen Hui's suspicions erupted.
… .
In the palace, in the Shufang Palace, unlike other magnificent palaces, the Shufang Palace can even be regarded as simple. Even if it is decoration, it is just some decorative flowers or paintings. Concubine Dong Shu was sitting sideways on the soft couch listening to the ditty. The one who played the ditty was a young girl with a round face, which was not very beautiful, but the ditty was lively. Concubine Dong Shu listened with a smile. Concubine Dong Shu was not too beautiful. In the crowd of chubby and thin people, she seemed to be a lot more ordinary. Although she is also beautiful, she is warm and temperamental, no wonder she is the most inconspicuous of the four concubines.
Her head was sitting on the side of a young man, dressed in Chinese clothes, with a handsome face and a cold temperament, but the smile on his face seemed to be somewhat cordial. He said to Concubine Dong Shu, "This little tune is pretty good."
This person is none other than Concubine Dong Shu's son, the Ninth Prince Ding Wang Fu Xiu Yi.
Concubine Dong Shu glanced at Fu Xiu Yi with a smile, waved her hand, and the person playing Xiao Qu'er suddenly stopped. Concubine Dong Shu smiled and said, "Play well, get some reward money."
There was a hint of joy on the face of the girl who played the little tune, and Nuonuo went down holding the piano. Everyone in the Ming Qi Palace knew that the servants of Shufang Palace had the most comfortable life, because Concubine Dong Shu was a kind person, and she treated servants very leniently.
"Let's all retire." Concubine Dong Shu glanced at the other palace servants, and when the palace staff heard the words, they also retire in an orderly manner. In an instant, only Concubine Dong Shu's mother and son were left in the palace nave.
"Mother's Concubine Tune|The method of teaching servants is getting more and more sophisticated." Fu Xiu Yi smiled.
"It's better to be kind than to have revenge," Concubine Dong Shu said with a smile: "How many times has the concubine mother told you."
"Yes yes yes." Fu Xiu Yi sighed, "Unfortunately, in the position of the son, it is much easier to make enemies than to be kind."
Hearing this, Concubine Dong Shu's smile faded, and she asked, "Your father and emperor have been worrying about the mighty general these past few days. Are you... sure?"
Concubine Dong Shu never cared about Fu Xiu Yi's affairs, and the harem should not interfere in politics, not to mention that Emperor Wen Hui had nine sons, all of which were not fuel-efficient lamps. It is better to hide the ugliness than to show the ugliness. Now the timing is unclear, and Concubine Dong Shu is not afraid of being a "disfavored" concubine.
"Royal Father has been paying attention to this matter, so naturally he will not lift it up and drop it gently." Fu Xiu Yi said, "The evidence I presented just happened to be in line with Emperor Father's intention, and it will only go well."
"I know you have an idea." Concubine Dong Shu shook her head and said lightly: "But Xiao Jiu, the situation is tense now, you'd better be more careful. Don't take credit and let them fight. When they get tired of fighting, it's not too late for you to take action."
"My son, please listen to my mother's teaching." Fu Xiu Yi hurriedly said.
Concubine Dong Shu smiled and suddenly thought of something and said, "When you asked Madam Shen to bring Shen Miao into the palace last time, you asked me not to let Shen Miao hear our conversation... What's the matter?"
When Luo Xueyan’s mother and daughter were allowed to enter the palace last time, Fu Xiu Yi had instructed Concubine Dong Shu before not to let Shen Miao be present at the meeting. So later Concubine Dong Shu asked Tong Yao to take Shen Miao out.
"What kind of person does the mother-in-law think the fifth young lady of the Shen family is?" Fu Xiu Yi asked.
"She looks good, and she should be a little beauty in the future. However, she is too sullen and kind, so it is easy to be bullied." Concubine Dong Shu looked at Fu Xiu Yi: "I heard that she loved you before, but it doesn't look like a rumor. The unbearable in the middle, although not smart enough, but not to the point of straw bag."
Fu Xiu Yi smiled slightly, "Concubine Mother is such a picky person, how could she not be able to tell her bad?"
Concubine Dong Shu was taken aback. On the surface, she looked lenient, but inwardly she was a very picky person, because Fu Xiu Yi was now at the age of seeing his wife, and he was also very good. Among them, there are naturally many ladies from famous families, but Concubine Dong Shu can always pick out the wrong ones, feeling that they are not worthy of her son.
As for the current remarks, although Shen Miao was not praised, there was no contempt in the words, after thinking about it carefully, there was even some bias towards Shen Miao. Among the young ladies of the official family, Concubine Dong Shu was the first to comment on a person so leniently.
So when Fu Xiu Yi reminded him, Concubine Dong Shu herself was stunned.
A little girl who is obviously ordinary, how can she not say something bad? But aside from being dumb, I really don't know what's wrong.
No desire, no ambition, her eyes are as calm as a woman's, Dong Shufei's heart skipped a beat, isn't this exactly the same as herself...or disguised herself
"Concubine Mother can see it when she thinks about it." Fu Xiu Yi smiled, "This Miss Shen is a master of concealment."
Concubine Dong Shu looked at Fu Xiu Yi suspiciously: "You said she was pretending? At a young age, she can pretend other things, but her temperament is unbearable."
"Mother concubine," Fu Xiu Yi's eyes flashed with a strange light, "I've seen her make a fool of herself in public, and I've also seen her showing her love without shame, and the murderous young master of the Cai family can't come down to the stage. She looks like, now, you have seen her dumb and dumb, the mother-in-law thinks, with so many looks, which one is the real her?"
Concubine Dong Shu held the teacup in her hand.
How can a person have thousands of appearances, and each appearance is lifelike, and each appearance is like his own temperament, that disguise is too terrible. What's even more frightening is that she has only reached her age.
Fu Xiu Yi lowered his head, what he did not say was that he had also seen the palace banquet and Shen Miao looked at him with uncontrollable hatred in her eyes. That kind of deep-rooted hatred is by no means the hatred that the little daughter can't have because of her love. That kind of hatred seems to even tremble in anger, wishing to tear him apart.
There is a lot of confusion.
"Mother, the Shen family's retention is also a variable. The current state of the country cannot be changed any more." Fu Xiu Yi lowered his voice: "Miss Shen family, it may not be as simple as we think. is the best."
"So, this time the mighty general is doomed?" Concubine Dong Shu asked.
"That's not true," Fu Xiu Yi smiled, "The Shen family is now the head of the hairpin-ying family, and now apart from the Shen family, it will only cause even greater changes. But after taking over the power of the Shen family, the Shen family will only gradually decline. When the time is right, we will do it all in one go.”
"What if something changes in the middle?" Concubine Dong Shu looked at him: "The Shen family may have other cards, so what if they get through it safely? It turns out that it's your fault, I'm afraid you will suffer."
Fu Xiu Yi shook his head, clearly still smiling kindly, but his eyes were cruel: "Bullying the king is a serious crime. No matter how powerful he is, he can't let the Shen family retreat. It's just..." He said lightly, " This was originally a test of mine."
"Try?" Concubine Dong Shu was a little puzzled.
Fu Xiu Yi looked at his fingertips: "That's right." Shen Yuan told him to pay attention to Shen Miao before, but Fu Xiu Yi did not take it to heart. But after a series of events, including the annihilation of Prince Yu's mansion and Shen Yuan's death, he gradually realized that what Shen Yuan said might be true.
Shen Miao, a boudoir daughter, could not accomplish these great things no matter what, there was only one possibility that there was someone behind Shen Miao. The person behind her was so capable that Fu Xiu Yi had to be on guard.
This time there was an accident in the Shen family and Shen Miao was left alone, naturally he suggested it with Emperor Wen Hui. It was just Fu Xiu Yi's purpose, but he wanted to see what kind of way the fifth young lady of the Shen family, who had been hiding so deeply, that even he was toyed with applause, would use to relieve his troubles. Who is her helper
However, no matter what method he used, it was impossible for Shen Xin to retreat safely. Fu Xiu Yi squeezed the palm of his hand tightly, and there was no reason to spit out the fat in his mouth.
There is no doubt that the Shen family is doomed to perish in Ming Qi's history books.
…
Tonight's Marquis of Lin'an is not very peaceful.
In the innermost yard, in the house, Xie Jing Xing took off his robe and the door opened with a bang. The little servant stood at the door tremblingly, fearing that he would be implicated, he lowered his head and said, "Young master... I can't stop him..."
The Marquis of Lin'an, Xie Ding, was standing at the door, and when he heard the words, he was even more angry, and said angrily, "Stop? Try to stop me, I am your father! When did the Marquis of Lin'an Mansion change its owner, Xie Jing Xing, give it to you? I stand!"
Xie Jing Xing glanced at Xie Ding casually, threw the robe on the couch lazily, sat down on the chair, leaned back, put on a playboy style, and said, "The Marquis came here in the middle of the night, What are you doing?"
Unfamiliar like treating a stranger.
Xie Ding was naturally annoyed again, but Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao, who were following behind Xie Ding, both had expressions of indignation on their faces, but upon closer inspection, there seemed to be glints in their eyes. Xie Changchao said: "Big brother, Dad always does his best for you, how can you talk to Dad like this, do you have etiquette and honor!"
“It’s none of your business.” Xie Jing Xing spat out four words.
On the outside, the elegant, dignified and arrogant Lord Xie Xiaohou looked like a soldier every time he faced the three of Xie Ding, but Xie Ding, who claimed to be a "Confucian general", was helpless.
“Stinky boy!” Xie Ding didn’t pay attention to Xie Changchao’s instantly livid face, instead he said angrily, “What did you write here, please command!” With a slap, he threw the paper in his hand onto Xie Jing Xing’s face.
Xie Jing Xing took the paper and glanced at it, then raised his eyebrows and said, “If Marquis is not satisfied, just ask His Majesty to rewrite it. You came here mostly in the middle of the night for this reason?”
"Xie Jingxing, what are you doing!" Xie Ding was furious: "Do you know what the northern border is, please Shuailing is not a joke. Xie Jiajun, you have never commanded, I have never taught you, do you know? Know how to use them!"
As soon as these words came out, Xie Changchao and Xie Changwu flashed a trace of gloom in their eyes. Xie Jiajun, that is the most valuable asset of the Marquis of Lin'an, more valuable than the wealth and glory of the Marquis of Lin'an. Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao also practiced martial arts, but Xie Ding never wanted their brothers to take over the Xie Family Army, but instead trained Xie Jing Xing as the heirs of the Xie Family Army. Even if Xie Ding brought their two brothers into office now, but once Xie Jing Xing really used the Xie family army for his own use, it would be difficult for Xie Chang Chao and Xie Chang Wu to reach the height of Xie Jing Xing.
“So what?” Xie Jing Xing raised his lips and smiled, his eyes swept to where there was a hint of evil spirit: “It will be easy if you use it too much.”
"No!" Xie Ding categorically refused: "You will make it clear to me tomorrow and your Majesty that the commander cannot accept this!"
“Master Marquis,” Xie Jing Xing turned his head to look at him, as if he was watching a joke, “I invited the commander back myself, and I will go back with your majesty… If Master Marquis wants to see me lose my head, let’s just say it, why should I learn from others? It's so roundabout and tactful." As soon as he finished speaking, he glanced at Xie Changwu and the two with half a smile.
It clearly means that Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao are uneasy and kind. The faces of the two stiffened, Xie Changwu said, "Big brother, father is also kind, the terrain in the northern border is complicated, if something goes wrong, not only will your own safety be unpredictable, but even father will be punished, and the entire Xie family army will be punished. Shame. You can't just think about being in the limelight, and don't care about the future of the Xie family."
The implication was that Xie Jing Xing's expedition this time was completely ambitious, he didn't know how high the sky was, and if he wanted to make a fortune but he didn't know how much he had, it would be a shame to go out.
As soon as these words came out, even Xie Ding couldn't help frowning.
“You don’t need to worry, little brother.” Xie Jing Xing retorted, “Brother, I’m waiting for you to enter the official position and make a fortune in the DPRK. The scenery is infinite. Jieshi has to rely on you to protect the Xie family. Marquis will also be very happy.”
Now that Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao have just entered the official positions, if they have reached the stage of making meritorious deeds and establishing a career, with their abilities, they will be able to obtain the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Moon. Xie Jing Xing was mocking their lack of aptitude and could only climb up based on the relationship of the Xie family.
"You!" Xie Changchao was angry and was about to speak when he heard Xie Ding roar, "Enough!"
Xie Changchao and Xie Changwu didn't say anything immediately, but Xie Jing Xing showed some impatience and said, "Have you finished speaking, Lord Hou, if you have finished speaking, hurry out, I'm going to sleep."
"Jing Xing," Xie Ding said suddenly exhausted, "After so many years, do you still hate me so much? You hate me so much that you would risk your life and stay away from the Hou residence."
Xie Ding is still a middle-aged man with a beautiful beard. Although he is a military general, he is different from Shen Xin, who is rough and straightforward, as elegant as a gentleman. When Xie Ding was young, he was known as a "Confucian general", and he was born handsome. Most of the Xie family had inherited Xie Ding's appearance, even Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao were both handsome young boys, but compared with Xie Jing Xing, they were a lot worse.
Princess Yuqing was gentle and elegant, Xie Ding was also a gentleman like jade when he was young, but Xie Jing Xing gave birth to a very handsome face, and what was more prosperous than appearance was temperament. Cynical, reckless and romantic, there is no one in the world who can help him. Seeing that he doesn't care about anything, he is so proud that no one cares about it. Such appearance and temperament, in fact, can be regarded as a legendary romantic figure in the history books.
But it is also helpless, such as Xie Ding at this moment.
Xie Ding's temples were already white with stars, and he said, "Jing Xing, do you still hate me?" When he said this, Xie Ding's voice trembled. He usually hated Xie Jing Xing, but at this moment it was like the most helpless surrender of a father to his son.
hatred? hate what? Hate that when Mr. Fang entered the door, the woman with the wrong mind had an opportunity to take advantage of it? To let Princess Yuqing die with hatred and let Xie Jing Xing live in such a deformed house? Obviously it was his fault first, but he would never marry again like a seed of infatuation. There are such infatuated species, but they refuse to put Fang to death. Do you love Xie Jing Xing in every possible way, trying to atone for it
Mistakes have been made, and the people are not there, how can sins be redeemed.
Xie Jing Xing glanced at him, his eyes were sharp for a moment, but even though this once-powerful general showed such a tired state, he never moved.
He had never hated Xie Ding, he was just disdainful. Besides… . Xie Jingxing said, "Master Hou thinks too much, how can I have that spare time."
I don't have the spare time to hate you.
These words were so hurtful that Xie Ding took two steps back unconsciously when he heard the words, clutching his heart, and his face was sad and hard to understand.
On the other hand, Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao were more and more happy in their hearts. The more Xie Jing Xing hurt Xie Ding, the more disappointed Xie Ding will be with Xie Jing Xing, only in this way, one day, the two of them will be able to completely replace Xie Jing Xing's position.
"So..." Xie Ding said with difficulty: "Then you can go on the expedition." He lowered his voice: "I will explain to Xie Jiajun that those people will help you through experience, and you can take all the armor and goggles in the house. "Xie Ding seemed to have aged ten years overnight, looked at Xie Jingxing and said, "You... more promise."
Xie Changchao and Xie Changwu helped Xie Ding to go out, before going out, Xie Changchao also smiled maliciously at Xie Jingxing: "Little brother, I wish big brother a great defeat to the enemy and a triumphant return."
However, he wished Xie Jing Xing died on the battlefield.
After Xie Changwu and the others left, the door of the house was closed, and a man in black appeared under the dim lights. The man in black said, "Master, Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao..."
"Forget it." Xie Jing Xing said, "Now that I am dead, the Marquis of Lin'an will not let me go."
"Xie Jiajun only obeys the Marquis of Lin'an, and will definitely not obey the master's orders." The man in black said, "What does the master plan to do?"
“Just Xie Jiajun, who cares.” Xie Jing Xing was a little impatient: “How is the Princess Mansion doing?”
"Go back to the master, the people who have been installed are in the dark to protect His Royal Highness Princess Rongxin. Master, won't you say goodbye to Princess Rongxin?"
“No need,” Xie Jing Xing Xie Jing Xing waved his hand, “That’s enough.”
The man in black said yes, turned around and stepped back.
In the bright and dark lights, the handsome face with red lips and white teeth faded from the former rebellious and romantic, showing a bit of gentleness. He took off his purple-gold robe, only wearing a jade-white tunic, the young man's eyelashes were long, and he seemed to be staring at the firelight, and he looked as handsome as the person in the painting.
"Hate?" He lowered his eyes and smiled faintly.
"Everyone in the world will hate me."
