The Times Spent in Pretense

Chapter 108: Enco

Views:

Standing in a group of people with serious expressions, Hua Liuli felt that she was a little out of tune with them. She cast her eyes on the prince, wanting the prince to give her some hints.

The prince directly handed Xie Yao's confession to Hua Liuli.

Hua Liuli didn't reach out to pick it up, she was just a non-royal county lord sealed by the imperial court, and it is reasonable not to read more about the affairs of the court.

"Little girl from the Hua family, you also have a look." Emperor Changlong thought more directly, Hua Liuli was his future daughter-in-law, and as a crown princess, it would be good to have more contact with these things. The prince is so lazy, with the princess in charge, maybe he can be more diligent.

"The minister's daughter is offended." Hua Liuli bowed to Emperor Changlong, gracefully took the confession from the prince, and quickly looked at it. The more she looked at her, the more confused she felt. The Xie family always wanted to change the etiquette standards of Dajin because they advocated the etiquette of tortoiseshells? But to the disappointment of the Xie family, not only the late emperor rejected their proposal, but also after the present His Majesty ascended the throne.

Today, His Majesty not only rejected the proposal of the Xie family, but also promoted Wei Mingyue to be a female general to lead an army of tens of thousands. This made the Xie family feel that Emperor Changlong was deliberately opposing them and not taking their advice.

Dissatisfied with Emperor Changlong, they not only secretly colluded with the remaining forces to buy people's hearts, but also had contacts with the Tortoiseshell State. It's a pity that Xie Yao is not taken seriously at home and can't know too many secret things, so it is not clear who the tortoiseshell force has contacts with the Xie family.

Hua Liuli didn't quite understand their brain circuits, so much tossing, just to change the etiquette

Isn't the essence of human beings chasing fame and fortune? Doing this kind of thing is not good for the Xie family. She returned the confession to the prince, not knowing what to say for a while.

Could it be that she couldn't understand them because her brain was too normal

She looked at the prince and at the calm mother, and felt that it was best not to speak at this time.

But maybe because Emperor Changlong was very satisfied with this daughter-in-law, even though he was angry, he asked Hua Liuli with a gentle smile: "Little girl from the Hua family, what do you think of this?"

Pei Jihuai had already told him that if the Lord Fushou County hadn't gone to Dali Temple to stimulate Xie Yao, Xie Yao would not have let go of the Xie family's secret so quickly.

"Your Majesty, the ministers and daughters do not understand the important affairs of the government." Hua Liuli smiled shyly, looking very timid, "In the eyes of the ministers and daughters, the Xie family dares to raise a killer privately and assassinate the prince, that is a serious crime of murdering the royal family."

As soon as Emperor Changlong heard it, he understood that the girl of the Hua family was still resenting the fact that the prince was almost assassinated.

As a father, who doesn't like a daughter-in-law who protects his children wholeheartedly

Emperor Changlong laughed loudly, nodded and said, "Fu Shou County Master is right."

Hua Liuli was at a loss, what did she say, what was the point.

"It doesn't matter what the Xie family is thinking about. What matters is what they did and what consequences they caused." Emperor Changlong knocked on the table, "According to the clues provided by Xie Yao, find out the Xie family."

"Your Majesty, those students in the south..." Pei Jihuai hesitated. The Xie family's reputation in the south is too great, and the south is far from the capital. If the Xie family stirs up rumors, even if the Xie family is finally brought to justice, it will have some consequences for your majesty. negative effect.

"I can't let the Xie family's conspiracy succeed because of some false name." Emperor Changlong was more determined than Pei Jihuai imagined, "The Xie family has a lot of plans, and it is for the people of the world, and I can't tolerate them."

"Father, General Hua and General Wei's defeat of the Jinbo Bandit Soldiers is a great event. My son thinks that it is not enough to hold a hundred state banquets." The prince said, "Why don't we open Enke and hold another imperial examination in the spring of next year?"

"According to the speed at which the rumors spread, the news of Xie Yao's assassination of the prince should have already reached the south." The prince smiled and seemed very helpless, "The farther the rumors spread, the more out of shape, maybe it will reach the south. , it has become very outrageous.”

"Prince Prince is right." Emperor Changlong smiled comfortably, "Hua Aiqing and Wei Aiqing's defeat of the enemy country is indeed a major event that has taken place in a century, and it should also be added to Enke."

Pei Jihuai looked at the pair of heavenly father and son who were smiling at each other, and suddenly felt that some civil servants who were looking forward to the prince's abolition might be disappointed.

Not only will the prince not be dismissed by His Majesty, but he will continue to be arrogant until he becomes emperor. Because this prince who looks arrogant and domineering on the surface is a smart and understanding person.

Adding Kai Enke is definitely the best way to win over southern literati. This move not only attracted literati, but also implicitly expressed the importance the royal family placed on military generals, and also reduced the contradictions between civil and military officials.

What's the reason for adding Kaienko

It was the two generals who won the battle.

There is no shortage of celebrities in the world, but more of them are ordinary people. How many scholars do not want to be named on the Golden List and honor their ancestors

As soon as Enke started, the happiest person was the reader. In addition to this year's imperial examinations, not many students from the south have achieved good rankings, and they must be thinking about the shame of the past, and the court's opening of the Enke, which is equivalent to giving help in the snow.

The fame of the Xie family is high, but compared with their own interests and national stability, the matter of the Xie family is not a big deal.

The sky and the earth are big, and the food and the country are the biggest.

"Since this is the case, I will call the officials of the six departments to discuss the matter of adding Enke." Emperor Changlong no longer mentioned the matter of the Xie family, he turned to look at Hua Yingting, "The prince and Hua Aiqing are staying, and I have something to talk to. You negotiate."

"Your Majesty, I will be entrusted by Princess Leyang to send a letter to you and the Empress Dowager." Wei Mingyue took the letter written by Leyang out of her arms.

Emperor Changlong looked indifferent and did not accept the letter: "Just leave it to the Queen Mother to make the decision."

Xie Yao's assassination of the prince broke Emperor Changlong's heart. He had no tenderness left for the Leyang family.

Fortunately, the Prince of Fushou was walking with the prince. Although he was weak, he was willing to use his life to lure the killer away for the prince. What if the Prince of Fushou was not there

The crown prince was the heir he cultivated with his own hands. He was his most beloved son. He couldn't even imagine how uncomfortable it would be for him if the crown prince really disappeared.

As an emperor, if he can't even protect his own children, what kind of emperor would he be

When the six ministers learned that the emperor was urgently summoned, they hurried to Chenyang Palace, and when they heard His Majesty's opening, they were ready to add Enke, but none of the ministers responded.

But this is for the benefit of readers, which is a good thing.

None of the six Shangshu adults objected, and began to discuss how to spread the announcement to all parts of the country as quickly as possible, so as to give readers more time to prepare.

After everyone had discussed it and honestly left Chenyang Palace, he slowly reacted. His Majesty's attitude was clearly to let them do things well, and he didn't intend to seek their opinions

Several old ministers glanced at each other and felt that this was a bit strange. There was no sign before, why did His Majesty suddenly add Enke

"The prince and General Hua were there just now. Could it be the prince's idea?"

"Is the prince so good?" The Minister of War asked suspiciously, "The relationship between the prince and the civil servants is not..."

Not so much.

Not only is it not very good, some civil officials are still looking forward to the prince being abolished.

It's a pity that after waiting for several years, the prince is still arrogant and domineering, and I don't know when their wishes will come true

Within two days, the ministers got the news, plus Enke's opinion, it was really proposed by the prince. Since the person who disclosed the news was Pei Jihuai, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, no one doubted the authenticity of the news.

Everyone changed to suspect that something was wrong with the prince's mind.

Especially those civil servants who were looking forward to the prince's abolition. After the prince proposed to add Enke, they were embarrassed to continue to scold the prince secretly behind their backs these days.

As a high-ranking crown prince, can't he be evil to the end, making it difficult for them to do it!

There are many nobles and scholars in the capital, and the news of Enke's addition came out, and articles praising Emperor Changlong, the prince, Hua Yingting and Wei Mingyue sprang up like mushrooms after a rain. Therefore, not many people paid attention to Princess Leyang's son, Xie Shizi's move into the palace.

After Xie Shizi moved into the palace, he lived next to the fourth and fifth princes who had not yet been crowned kings. However, the fifth prince didn't like the Xie family, and the fourth prince never liked to talk. After he moved there, the situation was very embarrassing.

The people serving him were also newly arranged by the Queen Mother. As for the servants of the Princess Mansion, none of them could be brought in. Although Xie Shizi was raised very naive, but at this point, he also understood that something big happened at home.

His mother sent him to the palace to save his life.

The news of Jiakai Enke, like a spring breeze, quickly spread to all parts of the country. The students were very happy and stepped up their reading and practice of calligraphy, in order to win a good ranking in Beijing next year.

The news of Xie Yao's assassination of the prince spread to the south faster than Jiakai Enke.

When the news first came, the students only regarded it as a rumor, and said that the wicked must be jealous of the good reputation of the Xie family, and deliberately smeared the Xie family.

But as more and more news came, the students gradually believed that the daughter of the Xie family had really committed such a big crime of beheading.

"What, you still don't know why Xie Yao wanted to kill the prince?" A businessman who came from the capital seemed surprised that the southerners knew nothing about this matter, "This is not right, I just came from the north, and this matter has been long overdue. It has spread all over the north, and you are so well-informed in the south on weekdays, why do you ask three questions about this matter?"

He scratched his head and asked in confusion, "Could it be that someone deliberately suppressed the news?"

Who would deliberately suppress this kind of news? Naturally, it was the Xie family who didn't want everyone to know about this.

In the hearts of many southern students, the Xie family has always been the representative of an upright and scholarly family. Now someone suddenly told them that this family had only covered the sky and dared to hide the news in Beijing. The literati suddenly felt a little strange.

The world is always like this, when a bad person does a good thing, they will feel that this person is not too bad. But if the good person in your mind does a bad thing, it will inevitably make people feel that this person is a hypocrite

However, most scholars still felt that the businessman was talking nonsense, and neither side could convince the other, so they even quarreled.

"What's the matter?" There are many businessmen in this big teahouse. One businessman walked in and heard the two sides arguing about the second Miss Xie's assassination of the prince. , what's so noisy? It wasn't that the concubine wanted Miss Xie to be the crown prince, but the girl the prince wanted to marry was the daughter of General Hua, so he rejected the Xie family's proposal. The Xie family was so embarrassed that they sent assassins to assassinate the prince. It is said that the daughter of General Hua was slashed with blood by assassins in order to protect the prince, and her clothes were dyed red."

Several scholars seemed to admire General Hua's family very much. When they heard that the girl of the Hua family was cut down with blood, their expressions changed: "Then, that girl of the Hua family, are you all right?"

"The little girl's family, is it okay to bleed so much?" The businessman shook his head and took a sip from the teacup. "My life is saved, but I don't know when my body will be raised. The prince is also affectionate and righteous. The man, in front of many officials, asked the Hua family for a kiss."

Most of the literati have delicate thoughts, and they admire the love they never give up. Many young literati can't help but sigh: "Miss Hua treats the prince with her life, and the prince tells you the truth. This kind of feeling is really touching."

In this way, it seems that the Xie family's behavior is even more ugly.

The businessman sighed: "Isn't that right? Miss Hua was born weak and suffered a lot of injuries. She struggled to survive from the brink of death, perhaps because she couldn't let go of her love for the prince."

Infatuation, no regrets, for the loved one can abandon life and death, endure the pain.

This is simply the most perfect image of a woman in the eyes of countless men.

The literati were so moved that they even felt that they could go home and write an article praising the love story between the prince and Miss Hua.

"But why are you scholars in the south so leisurely?" The businessman changed the conversation. "Students from other places are hanging on their heads and trying to read books for next year's Enke. Why do you all go to the teahouse to listen to the excitement?"

"What Enke?" The literati looked at the businessman in surprise.

"In order to celebrate the victory of the imperial court, Your Majesty has decided to add Enke." The businessman was even more surprised than these literati, "The announcement has been posted all over the country. Yesterday, the scholars from the side of the Xie family also bought a few sets from me from the capital. The imperial examination questions that came here are said to be preparations for Enke next year, but you still don't know?"

The literati were stunned. Why didn't they hear such a big news.

"Other places, have announcements been posted too?" Several literati looked unsightly.

"On the north side, it was posted five days ago." The businessman who claimed to have come from the north just took over the conversation, "Your side is the boundary of the county, and it's a little closer to the capital, so the announcement hasn't been posted yet?"

The businessman who came in later was puzzled and whispered, "It doesn't make sense. You don't know what the Xie family knows?"

The author has something to say: Some civil servants: Has the crown prince been abolished today

Answer: No

Xie Jia: Look, this pot is big and round, dark and bright.
