"I see."
Ye Ke carefully glanced at Ye Mei, and seeing that Ye Mei didn't seem to have any special reaction, he was relieved. He asked tentatively again, "Sister, do you feel bad?"
"Not good?" Ye Mei gave him a surprised look, and then smiled: "What's wrong with this, after entering the palace, you will live a glorious and rich life, one person is below ten thousand people, do you think I'm so stupid? , even the wealth that is at your fingertips can be handed over." She said: "I originally wanted to marry a person in a high position, this emperor is the most honorable person in the world, and there is nothing wrong with being the emperor's woman. "
As soon as she spoke, Ye Mei returned to her former charming appearance, and it seemed that she completely agreed with what Ye Ke said. Ye Ke woke up when he saw this, he clapped his hands and smiled, "I just said it! Dad was afraid that you would not agree, so I must persuade you, and I knew that he was superfluous. For such a good thing, my sister will naturally respond, and then You're not a fool, how can you shirk it?"
When he relaxed, he actually revealed his purpose and purpose of persuading Ye Mei under Ye Maocai's order. Ye Mei's eyes flickered, and she said with a smile, "Dad probably doesn't know me, but you are my younger brother, don't you know me yet?"
"Sister, you said, if you enter the palace and get the emperor's favor, don't forget my little brother." Ye Ke said, "Now that my father has brought me into the officialdom, I will have your sister to help me in the future. It will only get better and better. I'm not sure. The people in Long Ye are going to obey our brothers and sisters. At that time, the wind will be like the wind and the rain will be like the rain. The concubine Jing who is pregnant with the dragon seed is gone, if you enter the palace, who is your opponent in the palace, it must be smooth sailing."
Ye Mei also smiled: "Naturally."
Ye Ke got Ye Mei's assurance and seemed very satisfied, and finally resolved his worries. After talking for a while, he discussed with Ye Mei how he should go about his career and left. After Ye Ke left, Ye Mei's face turned cold.
Ye Maocai bought Ye Ke so quickly, not surprisingly, what Ye Ke wanted most in his life was to hold great power and call the wind and call the rain. Ye Maocai drew a cake for Ye Ke, and Ye Ke was moved, which was enough to make Ye Ke sacrifice his sister. Moreover, in Ye Ke's eyes, entering the palace to be the emperor's woman is probably a good thing that he can't ask for, but he doesn't know the crisis. Because Emperor Yongle was too difficult to grasp, and there was a clear-headed Prince Rui watching him.
Ye Ke, like Ye Mei, are extremely selfish people. When facing their own interests, the affection of siblings is nothing. Thinking about it, if Ye Ke knew that Ye Mei was not a good woman to be the emperor, he would not change his mind, because his own career was more important.
But how could Ye Mei willingly pave the way for Ye Ke
After Ye Ke left, Ye Mei stood up and walked around the room twice, which seemed a little anxious.
But she also understood that Ye Ke was now, in some respects, her enemy.
She thought about it for a long time, and finally stood up with determination, but opened the box in the room. That's when Mrs. Ye made dozens of sets of clothes for her to compensate her when she came back. They were all popular styles and the materials were top-notch. Ye Mei squatted down in front of the box and began to choose carefully.
On the other side, Shen Miao also learned the news from Mo Qing's mouth.
“Jin Xingming?” Shen Miao asked with a frown.
"Except for the identity of the son of the shop, there is nothing special about it." Mo Qing said, "But I suddenly came to Longye from Qinzhou. It seems that I am dealing with several businesses, all of which are long-term businesses of the Jin family. That's all. It has been dealt with, which indicates that the Jin family will not plan to accept business in recent years."
"Don't plan to take business?" Jing Zhe couldn't help but ask, "What do you want to eat?"
"It seems that he is about to leave." Shen Miao pondered, "Is there any news that Jin Xingming has any intention of leaving recently?"
Mo Qing was stunned and said, "Madam's guess is good. He also sold some things and turned them into silver notes. It seems that he is going to travel far, and he has prepared a lot of silver taels."
Shen Miao understood: "You go and check again to see if this Jin Xingming has been associated with anyone recently. There are also some clothes he prepared, where to go and what he is preparing to travel, you can always see clues. Changxing, the North is still the South. If there are people who have close contact with him, you should pay more attention. Don’t relax the investigation of Ye Mei’s siblings. If Jin Xingxing and Ye Mei have private contacts, they must stay with him.”
Mo Qing took the lead and left.
Jing Zhe and Gu Yu sewed clothes under the lamp, while Gu Yu said, "Madam, but what relationship does the Ye family have with the son of the shop? Could it be that she is happy with the young master Jin, so she doesn't even care about the merchant's identity? , do you have to be with him?"
Shen Miao smiled slightly, shook her head and said, "Do you know Vine Grass?"
"This servant knows!" Jing Zhe said quickly after hearing this, "When the servant lived in the countryside, the yard was full of vines and grasses. When the spring came, they had to be pulled out one by one. The tree is tangled."
Shen Miao said, “Ye Mei is very similar to the vine grass.” Ye Mei is very similar to the vine grass, this vine grass has extremely strong vitality and is everywhere, the most important thing is that any man can become her “tree” "She relied on these trees to keep climbing upwards, absorbing sunlight and rain, and growing tenaciously until she reached the tallest one.
In the process of her growth, those trees were entangled by her and exhausted their nutrients, and finally died.
Jing Zhe and Gu Yu looked at each other, and after a while, Jing Zhe whispered, "Is she that powerful?"
“This kind of vine grass looks very strong at first glance, but it also has a fatal characteristic.” Shen Miao said, “Once her last 'tree' dies, there is no other thing that can provide her with nutrients and she will go with it. already."
"When you rely on something, you will be the worst when you are finally deprived of it," she said.
Undoubtedly, Ye Mei must have wanted something from Jin Xingming. The son of a merchant seemed to be leaving now that he had settled his business everywhere. It was obvious that Ye Mei wanted to board the ship Jin Xingming and leave the abyss of the Ye family.
However, how could Shen Miao let her get her wish
Ye Mei's ending, this time, let Shen Miao do it for her.
…
For several days in a row, Xie Jing Xing never returned home. Even Tie Yi was not there. When I asked about Congyang, I didn't know, and I felt that the guards in the house were busier than usual.
Not long after, a message suddenly came from Beijing. The original Zhennan general Lu Jiazhengchun led an army to rebel, stationed troops in Ruyang City, and occupied the land in Ruyang City as a prison. Officially against the royal family.
This news almost shocked the people of Longye. I heard that Lu Zhengchun had a lot of soldiers. In addition, he has been secretly recruiting troops for so many years to expand the strength. Ruyang City is already vast, and being occupied by him like this is almost a letdown. Unexpectedly. The Lu family did have the courage to confront the royal family.
The Shen family guards brought over by Shen Miao were all a little surprised by this, but Shen Miao was not slow or slow, the ancients Yun first suppressed and then raised, Xie Jing Xing and Emperor Yong Le probably wanted to do this. Give the Lu family a taste first. A warrior like Lu Zhengchun will naturally feel that the royal family is afraid of him because of this.
Although she had great confidence in Xie Jing Xing, Shen Miao did not think that the Lu family really had the ability to compete with the Xie family, Shen Miao was worried about something else. Although the Lu family is arrogant, after all, it is only aimed at the royal family. In the eyes of the common people, the Lu family is just like the Xie family at the beginning, and has made great contributions to the country. Although it is said to be a rebellion now, the Lu family also has mouths. The Lu family has red mouth and white teeth. When they open their mouths, they say that the royal family forced them to rebel. They even said that the death of Emperor Xiaowu had nothing to do with Emperor Yongle, and the Empress Dowager Jingxian was considered a foreign relative , and the mother and son of Emperor Yongle conspired to kill Emperor Xiaowu and other princes. The name of this throne is not justified.
The world is in an uproar!
It is true that when Emperor Xiaowu passed away, Empress Xiao dealt with the rest of the princes one by one with thunder. Naturally, there was no reason to fall behind, but in the eyes of the conscientious people, it was strange. The same is true of the common people, but although they have suspicions, they dare not speak out. Later, Empress Dowager Jingxian passed away and Emperor Yongle succeeded to the throne. Under his rule, Great Liang was prosperous and prosperous, so those things in the past were no longer mentioned.
But this does not mean that the people have completely forgotten about it.
On the contrary, after the Lu family's remarks came out, the people of Great Liang began to hesitate after they were shocked. A small part of the people really listened to the words of the Lu family, but the majority of the people doubted it. However, an emperor who cannot achieve the people's resignation will always bring disaster to the future. Just like the original Empress Xiao, although she did do it neatly, she also brought trouble to Emperor Yong Le now.
Even now, Emperor Yongle uses thunder to block the mouths of the people and cut off rumors in the market, but there is still a road to see. Will this method be used in this life to suppress it
"The Lu family is too shameless." Jing Zhe said, "How dare you pour dirty water on the emperor."
Gu Yu sighed, "It's all revolted, if you die or I live, what's the point of pouring a basin of dirty water?" He added, "The Lu family is really cruel, if they want to lose both, they have to bring the royal family in as well. If you win, you may not win the hearts and minds of the people in the future.”
Shen Miao frowned and pondered for a moment, then said, "Get the pen and paper." She walked straight to the table.
Jing Zhe was taken aback and asked, "Madam, do you want to write a letter back to Ming Qi?"
Shen Miao shook her head, "I want a very large piece of paper, bigger than the city gate prisoner's notice."
The pen was like a dragon and snake, with a sharp edge, Jing Zhe and Gu Yu had seen Shen Miao write, when they sent a letter to Ming Qi, or when they shared news with Pei Lang in the past, but at that time Shen Miao was calm and did not look at it. Come up with something wrong. But today's Shen Miao looked different, she was solemn and seemed to be writing something that weighed more than a thousand jins, and she was angry, reminding one of the old students in the Hanlin Academy who fought with Confucian scholars. In the end, I wrote faster and faster, almost without thinking, eloquently and in one go.
Forget it, put the pen down, and picked up the huge white paper with both hands and shook it, as if to shake the paper dry.
Jing Zhe and Gu Yu looked at them together, and saw black words on the huge white piece of paper. Shen Miao's words were soft and mellow, but the words on it contained a hint of sternness, as if a sharp sword was about to jump out of the paper and pierce one's heart.
"This... what is it?" The two maids were illiterate, but they vaguely felt that this was something very important.
“No one cares about the truth,” Shen Miao said, “but the result is very important.” She dried the paper and waited until the ink on it was all dry before she said to Jing Zhe, “Put this thing in the book point, Three thousand copies of the rubbings will be printed and then let the guards in this mansion post it everywhere in the dark." Shen Miao said, "Hurry up!"
Gu Yujing Zhe didn't dare to delay, so he agreed, holding the paper full of words carefully and went out the door.
Shen Miao looked at the backs of the two leaving and breathed a sigh of relief.
In the affairs of the world, martial arts can determine the universe, and literature can bring peace to the world. The world has been settled, and the world is not at peace. Since the Lu family wants to make trouble through this, it is better to turn against the guests and boost their morale. The way of civil and martial arts, I have figured it out, his Lu family has a chaos of words, and she also has a tricky way of fighting. It is not known who will kill the deer, not only to let the Lu family lose, but also to let the Lu family lose their breath, and there is no benefit at all.
This night, Xie Jing Xing still did not come back.
Shen Miao dressed and ate by herself, kept Prince Rui’s residence in an orderly manner, and from time to time the noble ladies who went to Dingjing to gather for small gatherings calmly calmed their emotions, and only when sleeping at night did she feel a little cold . After thinking about it for a while, Xie Jing Xing closed his eyes and fell asleep.
In the early morning of the second day, when the sunlight in Long Ye was shining in every corner of the city, a sharp-eyed person found a piece of white paper on the door of their house, and there was a large number of words written on it densely. . The owner was a butcher, and he didn't understand it. He happened to see the neighbor's Ma Xiucai walking by, and said, "Ma Xiucai, you are a scholar, come and see what this is?"
Ma Xiucai walked to the door of the butcher, and when he saw the word, he first sighed, "Good word!", then got closer, and read it out word by word: "A letter to my compatriots in the world..."
However, in just a few days, everyone in the streets and alleys of "The Book of Telling the World's Compatriots" knew it, and other places in Great Liang knew it. The snow-white pieces of paper are everywhere, and most scholars keep it in their arms, but more people want to strengthen the person who wrote.
The young people in the Hanlin Academy were reading the book.
"In the past, the dynasty was weak, and it lived in peace, but now it is prosperous, but it is chaos? Your Majesty is coming, the granary is full, the weather is good, and now it is a thief, doubting its lord, opposing its ruler, betraying its principles, and overturning its Tao, are you ashamed? Shame? Disloyalty and inhumane!"
The people who read are surrounded by a large group of students. When they hear this, they all show embarrassed expressions, and some people are angry. This book first describes the recent rebellion of the Lu family, first scolds the thieves of the Lu family for such abhorrent deeds, and then says that the thieves spread rumors, and this rumor has been believed by many people, which is really chilling. During the reign of Emperor Yongle, the people of Daliang lived and worked in peace and contentment, the country was prosperous and the people were safe, and it was worse than when Emperor Xiaowu was in power. The people did not think about the emperor's kindness and merit, but they listened to the lies of a thief, aren't you ashamed? ? Don't you blush? He also said that in the way of civil and martial arts, there are many talents in Great Liang, and there are scholars and martial arts. The martial arts should find ways to fight against the traitor and repay the county master.
This "Report to the Compatriots in the World" is brilliant in writing and sharp in its sentences. Even aside from the political views in it, it is also an excellent chapter. What's more, what he said is very reasonable, which makes people feel ashamed and at the same time. There is reflection. For the rumors of the Lu family, but they did not attack themselves
Emperor Yongle was such a good emperor, and he was so benevolent to the people, not to mention the courtiers, since the Lu family rebelled, they would definitely not be loyal. Pity that they were almost provoked by ignorance, it was really too embarrassing.
Those who read are self-consciously shameless, and feel that the person who wrote this book must be a talented person, and they want to make friends with them, but unfortunately they can't find the person behind the scenes. As for those martial artists, they were even more excited by the book's heart to serve the country, and they could not wait to join the crusade against the Lu family and personally cut off the heads of the thieves.
Therefore, the matter of Emperor Yongle's father-killing and usurping the throne, which was so clamorous at that time, was no longer mentioned.
Congyang posted the notice overnight, he did not expect so many people to respond, and he did not expect that the rumor was resolved so easily, and he was even more impressed with Shen Miao, saying, “Madam, you have this hand. , but it is comparable to those of the champions in the palace. But I have never seen these scholars who are so sought after by a person, if you know the identity of the lady, you will be very surprised. "
Shen Miao smiled and said, "The Lu family is in Ruyang now, the affairs of Long Ye are out of your control, at most it is to arrange some people who spread rumors among the people. But the people of Great Liang are not fools, two lies, one It's groundless, one has reason and evidence, which one would you believe?"
Congyang is thoughtful.
"However, that's also because the people's hearts are more inclined towards the emperor, so they can be easily pulled over. If the Lu family won the people's hearts, they would have an indestructible position among the people. With these rumors, I wrote Ten of these things are futile."
Cong Yang scratched his head: "Anyway, Madam made a good move. When the master comes back, she must be very happy. Also, Madam originally came from the General's Mansion, so I didn't expect to be so talented."
Shen Miao was noncommittal.
Talent? The Letter to the Compatriots in the World is nothing but a letter to deceive the people of the world. People need to be managed, and if the Lu family wants to, they can naturally do it. When Fu Xiuyi ascended the throne, there was naturally a voice of doubt, but it was because Pei Lang relied on a letter to tell the compatriots in the world that he turned the black into the white, and made Fu Xiuyi clean and not a demon, but he became the only one in Ming Qi. the Mingjun.
Now she has used this trick on the Lu family, a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye, it is impossible for the Lu family to ruin the reputation of the royal family.
At the same time, in a small town in Yongzhou, Great Liang, a man in a blue shirt was walking down the street with his hands and hands behind. There happened to be a school where he was passing, and the teacher of the school was an old man in his sixties, shaking his head and reading: "In the past dynasty Weak, but still living in peace, and now prosperous, is it chaos? Gai Your Majesty is coming, the granary is full, the weather is good, and now I am a thief, doubting his master, opposing his lord, betraying his principles, covering his way, ashamed? Ashamed Infidelity and injustice!"
The man in the blue shirt paused and looked over involuntarily. After seeing the old man Fang read a paragraph, he said: "This is the "Book of Letters to the Compatriots in the World" that is widely circulated in Longye. The old man has only one rubbing, so you can copy it all and hand it in tomorrow. "
Pei Lang was stunned for a while, then thought of something, he couldn't help laughing softly, after laughing for a while, his eyes darkened again, and then he glanced at the teacher who was shaking his head in the school and left.
In the Weiyang Palace, Empress Xian De also held a letter and read it to Emperor Yongle with a smile. Emperor Yong Le sat on the chair, his expression was a little pale, but his expression was softer than ever before.
"Jing Xing has really married a treasure." Empress Xian De smiled and said, "I thought she was a female general who came out of the gate, but she is a female champion who can disturb people's hearts. Nowadays, the academies in Long Ye are secretly inquiring about the origin of this book. Who is the person, but I don't know it's a woman."
Emperor Yong Le snorted softly and said, "Cunning like a fox."
"It's you who helped me." Empress Xian De disagreed: "Thanks to her, all those messy rumors outside have disappeared, isn't it good?"
"I don't care." Emperor Yongle said.
Empress Xian De said, "You don't care, but you always have to plan for Jing Xing and the others."
Emperor Yongle stopped talking.
After another moment, Emperor Yongle called out "Qingzhen".
Empress Xian De gave a "hmm" and was stunned, turning her head to look at Emperor Yong Le. Qingzhen is her boudoir name, but she hasn't heard anyone call this name for a long time.
Emperor Yong Le did not look at her, but stared at the half of the incense burning in the mouth of the crane on the table, and said, "Do you regret it?"
Empress Qingzhen smiled: "I have never regretted my concubine."
"After Zhen's death, you follow Jing Xing. If you meet a good person, then remarry." Emperor Yong Le said, "Change your name, change your identity, you will be fine, and you will have a good life."
When Empress Xian De heard the words, there were tears in her eyes. She forced the tears down, looked at Emperor Yong Le and said, "In Your Majesty's eyes, is a concubine so worthless?" She seemed to think of something, Then he laughed at himself: "Yes, in the eyes of the emperor, the concubine has always been unimportant." After speaking, he stood up and said to Emperor Yongle: "The concubine knows, the concubine will be as the emperor wishes. "Leave first.
Aunt Tao looked at her and wanted to persuade her, but in the end she was unable to speak. Empress Xian De has a good temperament, and it seems that she has nothing to be angry with. After spending so many years with Emperor Yong Le, she has never blushed with Emperor Yong Le. Today is the first time she has lost her temper with Emperor Yong Le.
Emperor Yongle looked at the burning incense, half of the incense turned into dust, and the aroma that filled the air would eventually dissipate.
Just like human memory and affection.
…
Ye Mei dressed up in the house for a long time.
She was already beautiful, and since she arrived at Ye's house, with the addition of Mrs. Ye's soup, she should have become more and more beautiful, but for some reason, she felt that she was not as radiant as when she came. Perhaps there is already fatigue in the eyebrows.
Today, she spent a long time in the house picking out a peach pink tulle dress with peach blossoms embroidered on it, and then she carefully dressed up, her eyes were wandering, and she was stunning. Feel.
When walking out the door, he happened to meet Ye Ke, Ye Ke glanced at her in surprise, and asked, "Sister, where are you going?"
"I went to Miss Sun's house to drink tea." Ye Mei smiled.
Ye Ke had no doubt that he was there, and Ye Ke's guards followed him. Ye Mei went out with the guards, she put on the veil, and really went to Miss Sun's house. Although the officials of the Su family in Long Ye were not big, they were not ordinary people either.
Ye Mei entered Sun's house and was led to a small room by someone. When he entered the small room, he saw Jin Xingming who had been waiting for a long time at a glance, Jin Xingming saw Ye Mei, his eyes lit up immediately, his eyes were amazed, and he said obsessively: "Mei'er, you are really getting more and more beautiful. already."
The more disgusting Ye Mei felt in her heart, the sweeter the smile on her face, she said aggrievedly: "It's not easy to go out today, I almost thought I couldn't see you, Brother Jin."
"If it weren't for the fact that the eldest brother of the Sun family had an old friendship with me and posted to you in the name of her sister, I'm afraid it wouldn't be easy to meet you." Jin Xingming sighed.
Ye Mei smiled and said, "It's all Big Brother Jin's ability."
With her sweet mouth and pretty face, she coaxed Jin Xingming into ecstasy, and when she was happy, she suddenly heard Ye Mei say, "Just when will Brother Jin take me out of Ye Mansion? I don't want to stay anymore."
Jin Xingming said, "Nevertheless, it is necessary to plan carefully. After all, the Ye family is not a small household, so we have to think of a surefire way."
Ye Mei sneered in her heart, there is no one-size-fits-all strategy in the world, but it was Jin Xingming's shirk. I think he probably secretly investigated the Ye Mansion and knew about Ye Maocai's power, so he retreated.
She raised her face and said pitifully: "When will it be a waste to drag on like this, I don't ask for anything, and I don't want the glory and wealth of the Ye family. I just want to live happily with Big Brother Jin..."
Few men can resist such sweet words, not to mention that the person who speaks is a rare beauty in this world. Her eyes are moving, her words are full of words, and every move is teasing, like a silent invitation. Jin Xingming felt that his throat was a little dry, but saw Ye Mei licking his lips even more helplessly.
He couldn't bear it any longer, and he didn't continue to bear it any longer. He suddenly held Ye Mei's hand and said impulsively, "For Mei'er, I am naturally not afraid of anything, but Mei'er is so beautiful, my one How can your heart be held in the palm of Mei'er's palm." He exerted some strength, hugged Ye Mei tightly in his arms, and said, "Mei'er, if you become my person, I will definitely take you as soon as possible. rescue."
Ye Mei was about to vomit, but the hesitation was only for a short moment, she was thinking about something fast in her mind, and the next moment, her hands climbed up Jin Xingming's neck like a snake, and she breathed like blue in his ear. Said: "Okay."
