"What conspiracy and trick, what did Mr. Xie say, how come Gu can't understand it?" The prince turned the fan in his hand and pointed to the chair next to him: "Thousands of mountains and rivers are all love, Gu has always been respected. The old loves the young, sit down and talk."
Without waiting for Young Master Xie to answer, someone pulled him to a chair and sat down. Facing Xie Shizi's unbelievable and painful eyes, he looked away uncomfortably.
"Uncle, why?" Xie Shizi was well protected by Princess Leyang since he was a child, and he developed a kind and charming character. He couldn't accept the upright uncle Yao, but suddenly became a greedy ambition, just like he couldn't Accept that the second sister poisoned the eldest sister and assassinated the prince.
The beautiful life was suddenly torn open by the people around a huge crack, and behind the crack were the dirty ambitions and desires of the relatives.
He didn't understand that the Xie family was a famous scholarly family in the south. Their family was not short of food, clothing, or books, and even the mother was the eldest princess who was proclaimed by the emperor. What's the point of doing this
Xie Yaoye avoided Xie Shizi's eyes and did not speak.
"Because people's desires are endless, greed will make people lose their nature and become monsters dominated by ambition." The prince looked at Xie Yaoye: "Your Xie family has passed down for six or seven generations, and your ancestors have been famous in history. Writers, those of you who are descendants, really…”
He shook his head and sighed: "I don't know if Xie's ancestors knew from the spring, would he be so angry that he crawled out of the ground?"
"There are tens of thousands of scholars in the world, how many people can really be remembered in history?" Hearing the prince mentioning the glory of his ancestors, Xie Yaoye seemed to be stimulated: "Every descendant of our Xie family has started reading since he could walk. Learn to write, but no matter how hard we try, the world always refers to the ancestors who were once famous in the world."
"So you have a crooked mind, and want to take the opportunity of modifying the etiquette of Dajin to make the Xie family famous again?" The smile on the prince's face faded: "For these false names, you would rather collude with other countries and raise your family privately. dead soldier?"
When the deeds were revealed, Xie Yaoye no longer made unnecessary struggles, and he said blankly: "His Royal Highness is a prince, with a father and emperor with sage and virtue in the past, and a brother with outstanding performance in the back. When you become emperor, you will understand what it's like."
Where is the outstanding brother
The prince raised his eyebrows. Could it be that he has a brother he hasn't seen before
"But what's the use of these false names!" Xie Shizi's emotions were a little broken: "Why can't we live a good life, these things are not brought in life, and they are not brought in death, isn't it important to live well?"
"Innocent!" Xie Yaoye sneered: "Han Chuang has studied hard for so many years, isn't it that the picture is to leave a name in the history, and future generations admire it?"
Xie Shizi's eyes were red: "But those things you proposed can really make future generations look up to you?"
"People's hearts will change." Xie Yaoye said unwillingly: "As long as your majesty is willing to support the etiquette reform proposed by our Xie family, even if there are people who oppose it for a while, who will complain in a hundred years? What they can remember is us. Thanks to the family for their contributions to these.”
In Xie Shizi's memory, although Uncle Yao was serious to his younger generation, he was a noble person who didn't care about external things. Looking at the endless ambition on his face at this moment, Xie Shizi suddenly realized that everything around him was false.
When the prince brought him here, he kept praying in his heart that no Xie family would come, and certainly no Xie family would come.
But the moment the door was pushed open, he was disappointed.
The prince is right, the Xie family has long been swallowed up by desire, and all the noble and elegant are just the skin outside the desire.
He looked at Master Xie and suddenly lost the strength to speak. He stood up in despair and walked out.
"Xie Shizi." The shopkeeper who was waiting outside saw him come out and smiled, "Are you ready to go?"
"I want to see my sister, can I?" Even if he was born naive, he guessed that Xie Yaoye could not do it alone, and that his father might also be involved.
No wonder his mother would send him to the Empress Dowager and let him stay in the palace to study and write. It turned out that he was worried that his deeds would be exposed and he would be implicated.
"Of course you can." The shopkeeper smiled: "There will be Jin Jiawei taking you to the Dali Temple Heavenly Prison, please wait a moment."
Xie Shizi thought that the other party would refuse, but he did not expect to agree so easily: "Thank you."
After knowing all the truth, Xie Shizi was a little confused, and he didn't know who he should face. His parents may have done something wrong, but they have always treated him like a treasure. But if he ignores their actions, he will not be able to overcome the hurdle in his conscience.
He didn't want to see his parents, and he didn't want to go to the palace to meet the classmates in the Royal Academy. The only thing he could see was his sister who was in the Tianjing prison of Dali Temple.
After Xie Shizi left, Xie Yaoye showed all his sharp emotions: "The prince has planned for a long time for today, right?"
"I'm fishing with Taigong Jiang, and I hope you will take the bait." The prince adjusted himself a comfortable sitting position, took the grapes brought by the eunuch and ate a grain: "If you Xie family don't have other thoughts, what will happen? Falling into this trap?"
"Since you entered the door, Gu gave you three chances. As long as you turn around and leave, Gu will not hold you accountable." The prince spat the grape pit into the bowl: "Unfortunately, you insisted on pushing the door open."
"Don't you want to thank the prince for his generosity?" Xie Yaoye sneered: "The prisoner who claimed that his ancestor was the demon concubine faction, was he sent by you?"
The prince smiled and said nothing.
"Prince of a dignified country, in order to eradicate his opponents, he actually used this method. If it were spread out, wouldn't he be afraid of laughing at the big teeth of the world?"
"So don't worry, Gu won't let this matter get out." The prince played with the fan in his hand casually: "Gu is a prince who covers the sky with one hand and is favored by the father and emperor. You don't have to think about it for Gu."
Xie Yaoye's eyes flashed, and he was angry with the prince. He shook his hand and pointed to the prince: "You..."
"Compared with the mere infamy, Gu is more concerned about when you beasts can be captured." The prince sneered: "If it is beneficial to the people of the world, what is the importance of Gu's reputation or not?"
Xie Yaoye was startled, he suddenly remembered that in the rumors about the prince, the officials who were rudely targeted by the prince were finally found to have serious problems. He was in the south, thinking that this was just the means of Emperor Changlong to protect the crown prince.
But, what if the charges of those officials are true
When the case is slowly investigated, I don't know how many innocent people will be involved, the prince will take the lead in attacking, find reasons to put these officials in jail, and then wipe out their dark forces...
Isn't their Xie family the ones who "accidentally" offended the prince and were finally found out for a serious crime
Wanting to understand this, Xie Yaoye was enveloped in chills all over his body. Ji Yuansu is a ruthless person at all, and those rumors about him acting arrogantly and defiantly make people subconsciously ignore his scheming and tactics.
Yes, yes.
How could a prince who can make Emperor Changlong take such a high value, no matter what he does, his position as a prince will not fall.
Only then did Master Xie realize that the Xie family thought they were smart, but actually fell into the Ji family's trap long ago.
The first emperor died inexplicably in those years. After Emperor Changlong took the throne, he held the political and political stability in the palm of his hand.
Hua Yingting made a great contribution, which should have attracted the suspicion of civil servants, but his son turned his head to participate in the imperial examination, and even won the first prize in one fell swoop. The behavior of the youngest son of the military general to abandon his martial arts and follow the text greatly satisfied the vanity of the civil servants.
In this way, even the original crisis of confrontation between the text and the military has quietly passed.
These seemingly coincidental things, when put together, are linked together, making the imperial court and the state of the Jin Dynasty more stable.
When Emperor Changlong asked the prince to marry the daughter of the Hua family, he was neither jealous of the Hua family nor the prince, but handed over the military power of Dajin to the prince in a euphemistic way.
The world thinks that the prince is absurd, and Emperor Changlong is partial. Actually, it's them that are stupid.
All the way up and down, they were all deceived by the father and son and the Hua family.
Wanting to understand this, Xie Yaoye smiled sullenly: "My business has nothing to do with the Xie family. There is no evidence and no evidence. You can't start with the Xie family."
"Mr. Xie, do you think the imperial commissioner left Beijing a few days late, giving the Xie family a chance to cover up the evidence?" The prince took out a thick stack of paper from his sleeve: "The Xie family hid weapons and bought them at low prices. The farmer's fertile land and the evidence of stealing mines are all in Gu's hands. You thank the family... it's over."
"You can't do this!" Xie Yaoye said anxiously: "Du Songwen is dead, and the Du family has no successor. If you want to eradicate our Xie family, aren't you afraid that scholars all over the world will say that the royal family deliberately suppresses scholars?"
"The imperial court has even opened the Enke, how can it suppress the scholars?" The prince sneered: "Without your Xie family, there may still be the Zhang family, the Chen family, the Wang family, and the Li family. There are so many scholars who have justice in the world, as long as the common people Like them, love them, what is your Xie family?"
"What's more, who said that the Du family has no successor." The prince put his hands behind his back: "Du Songwen's granddaughter, talented and intelligent, reads a lot of books, and is a rare scholar who will soon go to Qinghe Academy to serve as the mountain leader."
Qinghe Academy is one of the best academies in Jin. The history of this academy is longer than that of Jin State, and it has taught countless capable ministers and officials.
"She's a woman." Xie Yaoye sneered: "Do you want a woman to support the Du family's century-old reputation?"
"Until there is no result, don't judge whether a person can or not." The prince raised his chin slightly and smiled very disgustingly: "Anyway, your Xie family can't."
Xie Shizi and Jin Jiawei came to the Dali Temple Heavenly Prison. When they saw Xie Yao, who was described as haggard, he leaned over the fence excitedly: "Second sister, how are you?"
Xie Yao's attitude was very cold. She looked at Xie Shizi who was wearing brocade clothes and suddenly smiled: "You didn't leave the capital?"
"Father and mother... are still in the Princess Mansion." Xie Shizi didn't want to tell Xie Yao about the current situation of the family: "How about you, did you endure hardship in prison?"
"What do you think?" Xie Yao spread out her hands, covered with blood blisters from her work: "Did you and mother plead for me?"
Xie Shizi looked at the rough hands, his eyes flickered and he was speechless.
"Stop pretending, I know you don't want to save me at all, not only do you want to save me, but you also want to send a killer to take my life." Xie Yao sneered: "You want to leave me and fly away, there is no door!"
"Second sister, what are you talking about?" Xie Shizi was surprised.
"Have father and mother been placed under house arrest?" Xie Yao saw that Xie Shizi's expression changed, and he knew that he had guessed correctly: "We are a family, how can we fly separately when disaster strikes?"
Xie Shizi's face was pale, and he looked at Xie Yao with a ghastly face, unable to say a word.
"My good brother, why are you being raised so stupid?" Xie Yao laughed out loud: "You may not know that after I was imprisoned in Dali Temple, my father didn't think about saving me, he wanted to kill me. I silenced. It's a pity that I should not die, my father is probably very disappointed."
"I heard that my father has hysteria?" Xie Yao smiled mysteriously: "My good brother, why don't you go back and observe carefully, is father's hysteria true or false?"
Xie Shizi's brain was buzzing, and he felt that these people around him were terrible. The father is not the father, the son is not the son, everything is like a nightmare.
He must be dreaming.
definitely is.
Pei Jihuai and Hua Changkong rushed to Changyao Prefecture with the masters of Dali Temple and ordinary guards disguised by Jinjiawei.
The Xie family and the local prefect warmly received them, and gold and silver jewelry were sent to them at no cost.
Pei Jihuai looked at the boxes of gems coldly, and the eyes of the governor of Changyao Prefecture were full of killing intent. The ancestor of the prefect of Changyao Prefecture was not prominent. With his salary and ancestral property, it was impossible for him to come up with so many gold and silver treasures.
"Prefect Wang is being polite, how can you be so embarrassed?" Hua Changkong smiled and bent over to pick up a gold ingot, looked at it a few times and put it back in place.
"This is all a matter of waiting for the lower officials." Seeing Pei Jihuai's cold face, Wang Taishou was still a little worried, and even considered whether to secretly make a plan to let the two imperial envoys die under the knife of "chaotic bandits".
But seeing the greed in Hua Changkong's eyes, he calmed down. Hua Changkong is the elder brother of the future crown princess, as long as he pleases him, all troubles can be solved easily.
After some false resignation, Hua Changkong reluctantly accepted these jewels: "Prefect Wang is hospitable and hospitable. This official likes a friend like you the most. When you are transferred to the capital, this official will definitely invite you to drink a few more drinks."
Transferred to Beijing
Wang Taishou's eyes became scorching hot: "Being able to be friends with Master Hua is a blessing that a lower official has cultivated in his lifetime."
The two trusted each other, and Wang Taishou took out a stack of silver bills and put them in Hua Changkong's hands.
Hua Changkong's face was even more gentle: "Prefect Wang has been away in the capital for a long time, so he probably doesn't know how difficult it is to be in the capital. But we have such a good relationship, no matter how difficult it is." He lowered his voice and whispered in Wang Taishou's ear. : "This official's sister, she will be married to the East Palace in two months. What can't you do?"
"Yes yes yes." If he could catch up with the prince concubine's brother, why should he be careful to hold those people in the Xie family? He touted Hua Changkong before leaving the courtyard where the imperial envoy lived with a smile on his face.
Outside the yard were people from the Prefect's Mansion. Pei Jihuai walked over to Hua Changkong and asked in a low voice, "What do you mean?"
"Take advantage." Hua Changkong tucked the silver note into his sleeve very naturally, reached out and patted Pei Jihuai on the shoulder: "Don't worry, Master Pei, this official will not ruin your good deeds."
In the next few days, the people from the prefect's mansion took them to see the granary and farmland. Pei Jihuai noticed that there was something tricky in it, and was about to ask a few more questions when Hua Changkong interrupted.
"Alright, alright, Wang Taishou is indeed a good official who loves the people like a son." Hua Changkong boasted: "When this official returns to Beijing, he must tell His Majesty the rich scene of Changyao Prefecture."
"Thank you Master Hua for replacing Guan Meiyan." Wang Taishou looked at Pei Jihuai's words. Although this Pei Jihuai was an imperial envoy, in front of Hua Changkong, he didn't even have the guts to say more.
It can be seen how high Hua Changkong is in His Majesty's heart.
Having a good father, good mother and good sister is just different. You can be so beautiful at a young age. Discovering that Mr. Hua was not only good at gold and silver, but also liked to go to places such as music halls and taverns, Wang Taishou gradually relaxed his vigilance, and when the two imperial envoys left, he enthusiastically sent them on horses with gifts. A lot of soil rituals.
"Master Pei, Master Hua, the journey is smooth sailing, and the lower official is here waiting for the good news from Master Hua."
"Prefect Wang, just stay at home and wait for the good news from this official." Hua Changkong smiled: "If the journey is smooth, you can still go to Beijing to attend your sister's wedding."
When Wang Taishou heard the words, he quickly took out a stack of thick silver bills and put them in Hua Changkong's hands: "I don't know what the county master likes. This is a little thought from the lower official. Please convey it on your behalf."
"It's easy to talk, easy to talk about." Hua Changkong shoved the silver note into his chest, and his chest was stuffed bulging, very greedy.
Pei Jihuai stared at the gold, silver and jade ornaments all over his body, and silently looked away for fear of Shinhwa's own eyes.
After leaving the Changyao state boundary, Hua Changkong took off the jingling accessories on his body and took out a fan to fan the air: "It's exhausting me."
Pei Jihuai bowed his hands to him: "I don't know what Mr. Hua has gained?"
"I just picked up a few servants who are willing to be cattle and horses for this official." Hua Changkong swished his fan loudly: "It's a coincidence that these people have all been persecuted by the Xie family and Wang Taishou. , do you think it's magical or not?"
Pei Jihuai: "..."
Every day, he is not receiving the benefits of Wang Taishou and Xie's family, or he goes to the Yuefu Restaurant and Teahouse to play. Where did he find these people
"No way, everyone has brought them back, so this official can't ignore it." Hua Changkong sighed: "After returning to Beijing, these people will be handed over to Master Pei to bring back to Dali Temple, this official is just a Hanlin just like a dynasty, what? I don't know anything, and I have to rely on Master Pei to take more care."
Pei Jihuai looked at Hua Changkong and seemed to see the shadow of Fushou County Master who claimed to be weak but could make Xie Yao dizzy.
The author has something to say: Hua Changkong: Disrespectful and disrespectful, this official has no ability, just nepotism, I laughed.
