Gao Gonggong was born in the Supervisor of Literacy. Although his power was not comparable to that of several inner ministers, he was also a proud person in front of the emperor. He said that he wanted to take care of Cui Xie's affairs, and he would write a post with a pen. From Yongping Mansion to the Ministry of Punishment, he would be able to manage it properly. No one dared to refute Qian'an's accusation.
Cui Ming spread rumors and slandered Cui Xie for being unfilial. He also mentioned that Cui Langzhong and his wife wanted to be harsh on their stepson, and asked about the crime of scolding the parents. Stealing and selling the master's wealth was another crime. head. Punishment for both crimes and sentenced to hanging.
After all, Cui Xie is a modern person, and he is not used to this kind of law that would kill him casually, so he couldn't help but want to plead for him.
Before he could speak, Eunuch Gao saw what he was thinking and said with a smile: "You see this thief was sentenced to hang, so pity him? This kind of thief cannot be forgiven lightly. You are a child living alone in the country, how would your parents know about you? It's all up to these thieves and slaves to gossip. If you don't talk about your suffering in the future, he will talk a little bit in front of your parents, and your parents' affection for you will slowly fade away."
They were eunuchs, and their honor and disgrace were tied to the emperor. The most feared thing was that they were far away from the center. Some people would gossip and slander in front of the emperor. Therefore, Eunuch Gao felt very much about this case, and felt that Cui Ming, a wicked servant who ruined his future and ruined his favor, should be beheaded. It was too cheap for him to keep a whole corpse.
Xie Qianhu persuaded with a smile: "His crime of scolding his parents was originally determined to be reluctant, and the theft is not enough to be executed. Although Eunuch Gao protected Young Master Cui with good intentions, since he left Xichang in March, The official in the DPRK is staring at the East Factory and the Inner Court. If a thief slave gives them an excuse for impeachment, it will not be beautiful. The prisoners in this case will still have to pay their origins to recover their stolen goods. When Cui Langzhong knows about this, he will definitely be searched strictly. Home, copy out more stolen goods, and the case will be settled securely."
Eunuch Gao nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you Qianhu for being thoughtful. This is Cui Langzhong's family affairs, it's not good if we talk about it ourselves, we have to let him know that the child has been wronged outside, so that he can distressed."
He glanced at Cui Xie, raised his hand and beckoned him over: "Young Master Cui still doesn't know who helped you to ask the imperial court for your honor, right? It's this Xie Qianhu - ever since the Yaoyan case was closed, he has been begging Wan to command him again and again. I’m here to ask for a favor for you. We finally got a favor the day before yesterday, and we’re only here. Our family is just an emissary, so you have to thank Qianhu for your kindness.”
Xie Qianhu asked him for the badge
Cui Xie was a little surprised, because it was Xie Qianhu who said he wouldn't ask for the honor when he was in Qian'an, but he didn't expect him to do it again behind the scenes... Maybe it's because the emperor's commendation is not good, Xie Qianhu said beforehand. Don't say it, because he is afraid that he will be disappointed if he fails to do so
He quickly got up and saluted, thanking Xie Qianhu for taking care of him. The county magistrate Qi and Tian Xiancheng, who were sitting with them, also exchanged glances and reassessed his identity.
Xie Qianhu accepted his salute calmly, supported him with his arms, his lips curled slightly, and smiled like a spring breeze: "You don't need to be polite, Young Master Cui. It's important, you helped me catch Xu Zushi, the head of the demon, which is a great achievement. Besides, you also have a loving mother. After I sent the post to your house, Lingtang specially ordered someone to give you one hundred taels of silver. The intention is naturally to ask me to take care of you. …”
Cui Xie's eyes widened, and he didn't understand what Madam Xu was doing.
Xie Qianhu lowered his voice a bit, and gently brushed his ear: "Zun Weng seems to have some misunderstanding with Jin Yiwei, and he hasn't returned a word to me for so long, it seems that he has never seen my post. Yes. Xie can't speculate on his intentions, so he can only use Lingtang's money and a piece of compassion to win you a righteous male honor."
Cui Langzhong did not receive the post? Mrs. Xu gave Jin Yiwei one hundred taels of silver? Could it be that she unknowingly posted a message in the middle, and didn't want Cui Langzhong to know that his son had made contributions outside? As a result, this Xie Qianhu misunderstood that she was bribing Jin Yiwei, so she used money to do things and gave him an imperial decree...
Well misunderstood!
Xie Qianhu watched Cui Xie think hard, and finally came to a realization. He was still a little overjoyed. He couldn't help laughing. He lightly patted him on the shoulder a few times, and let go of his voice and said, "It's getting late, Mr. Cui. Simply stay, just have lunch in the yali, and go back with your father-in-law to declare the decree."
Gao Gong said: "Our family thinks the same way. I heard that Mr. Cui knows an excellent brewing recipe, does he know how to drink?"
Xie Qianhu glanced at him and shook his head slightly: "What kind of wine would he drink at a young age, let me and a few adults from Qian'an County accompany my father-in-law to drink."
The yali prepared the banquet early, and several adults exchanged cups in the flower hall. Jinyiwei opened another table outside the hall. Cui Xie ate a table of meals in the wing alone, and the witnesses who came with them were all sent home. . The clerk in the yali poured him sweet thick rice wine, saying that he was not drunk, but his body didn't seem to have drunk much, and after a few glasses of rice wine, he felt a little dizzy.
He didn't really want to eat either, so he simply put down his chopsticks and went to the porch outside to blow the air.
The acquaintance Dong Xiaowei also happened to eat too much wine, so he came out to relieve himself, saw him standing leaning against the pillar, squinted his eyes and recognized him, and when he recognized it was him, he came over to say hello, "What's wrong with Young Master Cui, but the taste of alcohol is high. already?"
Cui Xie shook his head slightly: "No, Master Dong, don't worry, I just want to be honored as a saint, and I can't bear it. I know that this honor is all thanks to Qianhu's efforts. I really don't know how to thank him."
Dong Xiaowei smiled and said: "Thank you, we Qianhu didn't do this because of your gratitude. We just can't stand your stepmother bullying you like this."
He looked at no one to the left and right and said in a low voice, "You know, when we sent the post to Qianhu, the case was not closed because of the rumors, so it was a little vague, and only said that I saw you were injured, and I told the parents on your behalf, please Your government sent a few people to Tongzhou to serve you. As a result, the post was thrown into the sea, and you told it to be thrown in Tongzhou and no one would care. Instead, the lady of your family rewarded us with one hundred taels of silver, which is asking us to take care of her. How about raising a son, or do you think our thousand households are nosy?"
Only then did Cui Xie understand why Madam Xu gave the one hundred taels of silver, and couldn't help asking, "Xie Qianhu knows her thoughts? He told me just now that he was inspired by her loving mother's heart to invite her for me. Purpose… "
Dong Xiaowei laughed, and the wine was about to wake up with laughter: "It's okay to listen to this scene, don't take it seriously. We Qianhu just can't see such a sinister thing, and we love you very much, so we want to help you. You. With the reputation of a righteous person and the protection of the sage's decree, the pair of adults in your family will not be able to bully you in the future."
Cui Xie's scalp was numb, and his eyes were a little red.
He and Xie Qianhu are not related but not related, so if you want to talk about the credit for capturing the demon, it is actually Jin Yiwei. At most, he was more successful as a hostage and came back alive. Thanks to Qianhu for helping him like this, a brewing recipe is definitely not enough to thank others, but what else can he come up with
Do you really want to donate Jindan
He held his chin and thought seriously, and Dong Xiaowei raised his hand and patted his shoulder heavily, trying to comfort him. The palm of the wind fell, but his hand was not pressed firmly. Someone supported his elbow from behind and said lightly, "What are you arguing about in the yard, the whole yard can only hear you giggling, and Eunuch Gao is asking."
Dong Xiaowei shuddered, looked back to see his face, and smiled nervously: "Xiaguan has lost his way, Xiaguan... Xiaguan go and get rid of it, and then go back."
Cui Xie raised his head and saw Xie Qianhu standing in front of him. He was so excited that he almost gave him a kowtow.
Xie Qianhu held his shoulders, pressed him against the pillar, and asked amusingly, "How much wine have you been drinking, why are your eyes red? Don't listen to Dong Cheng's nonsense, it didn't take much effort for me to ask for the order. Ling Zun is a disciple of Wan Shoufu, and our commander, Lord Wan, is willing to sell this face."
Choi Xie said, "But I can't repay..."
Xie Qianhu gave a "yes" and replied: "I didn't say that I didn't want you to return. Cui Gongzi, I didn't say it when I was in Tongzhou. When you get back to Beijing, you will be my minister in the same palace. At that time, if there is a place for you to repay, this thousand households will not be polite."
=========================================
On the day that Cui Xie met the imperial envoy, Cui Ju also heard the news that he was going to be honored.
After he left the office, he and a few colleagues went to the hotel to drink, but there happened to be a few children of honor and relatives in the shop. Since the Yingmiao north hunting, the status of these nobles has plummeted, and they will always avoid one or two in front of Qingliu Wenchen, but this time, they greeted them uncharacteristically, congratulating him frivolously with wine: "Congratulations to Sir Cui, Sir Linglang It is a rare honor to receive the decree of the Holy High, and this marquis is the envy of it!"
A trace of disgust flashed in Cui Ju's eyes, he frowned slightly, and asked, "What emblem? The lower official has never heard of it."
The Marquis of Yongkang, Xu Qi, came up to him and said with a smile: "It is the commander who helped Jin Yiwei in Tongzhou to capture the demon of the White Lotus Sect. The people from Beizhen Fusi personally asked him for the order, and the emperor not only approved it immediately. , and also issued a central decree, ordering the chief eunuch Gao and Xie Ying, who had asked for the ceremonies for him, and Xie Qianhu to personally go down to the county to issue the decree...
"Tsk tsk, since the founding of this dynasty, the pastors from all over the country have asked for honors for the righteous men's day women under the rule. Linglang is the first person in the world to be invited by Jinyiwei. I am so envious!"
Jinyiwei invited the award on your behalf
What's going on, Jin Yiwei is just a rude warrior, how can he ask for a post on behalf of the shepherd! Isn't his unworthy son just bumping into Jin Yiwei to handle the case in Tongzhou? How can he seem to have friendship with them, so that people who move Jin Yiwei can ask for favors for him
Such a list is not the laughing stock of the world! How can the Ministry of Rites and the Cabinet ignore such absurd things!
Although he has sometimes had to live with the world in recent years, he has always guarded himself with a clear flow in his heart. This unworthy son went all the way with Jin Yiwei, and even bypassed his father and asked Jin Yiwei to help him get a righteous name. Really... Really like his vulgar and ignorant grandfather and uncle who only tried to make money!
Cui Ju only felt that his colleagues were despising him in the bottom of his heart, and the compliments from his peers also turned into ridicule in his eyes.
