Chapter 763: Rumors Rise Again
Seven days later, King Rui was ordered to leave Beijing and go to Lingtai Mountain to pray for blessings on behalf of the Son of Heaven.
After more than half a month, there was an urgent report from the south, and the king of Rui encountered a riot of displaced people on the way back after praying for blessings, and his whereabouts are unknown at present, and his life and death are unknown.
The whole capital was in an uproar.
In the past six months, the emperor has obviously regarded King Rui as a prince, and this time he sent King Rui to Lingtai Mountain to pray for blessings to increase his political achievements, and when he returns, he may be appointed as the crown prince.
Now the life and death of King Rui are unknown, and the position of the prince -
The hundreds of officials and nobles all set their eyes on King Mu.
King Mu was overjoyed but also a little puzzled: "Could it be that God is helping me to wait?" Before the assassin sent to act, the unlucky guy of the fifth child encountered a riot of the homeless people......
The staff complimented: "Everything should naturally conform to the destiny of heaven." ”
In other words, he is the prince of the destiny of heaven, the future son of heaven.
King Rui was overjoyed by the compliment and burst out laughing.
Of course, it's good not to shoot, so you can save a lot of trouble.
Is there such a comfortable thing that wants to kill a person, but before he can make a move, that person was accepted by God?
In the Lanshan Mansion, the father and son gathered in the study to discuss matters.
"Did you arrange that homeless riot?" Lan Shan asked.
Lan Songquan said with a smile: "Isn't it a son or what? Do you expect that fool to send an assassin to assassinate King Rui directly? Doesn't that attract the attention of the whole world, maybe it will be suspicious of the emperor." The riots of the displaced people are different, and it is not uncommon for the displaced people to make troubles in many places at the moment. ”
Lan Shan nodded and praised his son's approach: "It's really good to start here, but are the people you arranged appropriate?"
"Father rest assured, the people in the rivers and lakes contacted by his son will be able to get both money and goods at that time. ”
Although Lanshan father and son cover the sky in the imperial court, Wenchen is not the same as a general, and when he needs to solve the problem by force, those family guards can't count on it.
"Remember to give a generous silver reward. Lan Shan admonished.
"This father can rest assured. ”
Father and son looked at each other and smiled.
Shao Mingyuan has been away from Beijing for some time, and Qiao Zhao felt for the first time what it means to live like a year, and absentmindedly fiddled with the bead chain made of red beans.
Ah Zhu stood outside the door and sighed softly: "The girl misses her uncle again." ”
"You can see that, too?" said Ice Green as he walked from outside, grinning.
"Exquisite dice and red beans, I don't know if I am lovesick to the bones. Ah Zhu muttered and smiled lightly, "You see the girl playing with that string of red bean bracelets all day long, is it just because the bracelets are beautiful?"
"I don't know if the bracelet looks good or not, and I don't know if the red beans are acacia, but I have this. Ice Green shook the letterhead in his hand.
Ah Zhu glanced at the envelope and gently pushed Binglu: "Don't send the letter to the girl quickly." ”
Binglu ran in with a grin: "Madam, my uncle's letter to you has arrived!"
Qiao Zhao's eyes burst with joy, and he coughed lightly to cover it up, and said lightly: "Take it." ”
Binglu hid the letter behind her and said with a smile: "Madame will give this red bean bracelet to the maid, and the maid will give you the letter." ”
"Dare to bargain with the master?" Qiao Zhao raised his eyebrows, still throwing the bracelet to Binglu, "Take it, it's not a good thing." ”
Well, it seems that it's time to marry this girl off and let her taste what it's like to miss someone.
Qiao Zhao took the letter, took out the letter and looked at it.
"Zhao Zhao my wife: farewell to the rest of the month, dreams are wonderful, I am all fine in the Northland, and I will return in a few days......"
After reading word by word, Qiao Zhao couldn't help laughing, picked up the pen and replied, and stopped writing about the disappearance of King Rui, and after thinking about it, he crumpled the half-written letter paper and relaid a piece of paper.
When Shao Mingyuan set out on the expedition, he was just in time for King Rui to leave Beijing, and King Rui used his previous favors to ask several personal guards to accompany him for protection.
Shao Mingyuan once told her that this time King Rui went south in a crisis, and out of a variety of considerations, he would try his best to ensure King Rui's safe return.
Now that King Rui's life and death are unknown, maybe it's not as simple as it seems, so she still shouldn't mention it in the letter for the sake of insurance.
Taking the written envelope in the mouth, Qiao Zhao gently stroked the envelope.
Soon to return, I don't know if the peach blossoms will be thanked when he comes back.
Just when the disappearance of King Rui caused an uproar in the capital, another gossip spread in full swing, and because of the people and things involved, it poked people's hearts, and quickly overwhelmed the limelight of King Rui's accident.
Li Guangwen's face turned blue with anger after hearing it by chance, and he pulled Qiao Mo, who had just been in the office, aside, and punched him.
"Master Li, what do you mean by this?" Qiao Mo avoided and asked puzzled.
"You still ask me, haven't you heard all those rumors outside?"
"Rumors?" Qiao Mo became more and more puzzled.
Li Guangwen noticed the fiery gazes of many colleagues, and said coldly: "You come with me!"
In the teahouse not far from the Hanlin Courtyard, Qiao Mo's expression was cold after listening to Li Guangwen's words: "How did this rumor spread? That person is really his heart! Lord Li, please believe that I and Mrs. Hou are righteous brothers and sisters, and those unbearable rumors are pure fiction!"
The more Qiao Mo spoke, the more angry he became.
It was rumored outside that he and his eldest sister took advantage of the absence of the champion Hou to have an unusual relationship, which is simply ridiculous.
He is a man, and he really lost his future at most if he sat down on this kind of thing, but the eldest sister and a woman were splashed with such a basin of sewage, if there are serious in-laws on it, how can there be a way to live, and a letter of resignation will not be able to run.
Li Guangwen sneered: "You don't need to say this, I don't believe you and I believe in my daughter." I'm just asking, you're also a court official, why don't you live in the Hou Mansion?"
Qiao Mo was asked by Li Guangwen and only smiled bitterly.
After he entered the Hanlin Academy as an official, he originally proposed to move out of the Hou Mansion to live in another place, and the eldest sister and the Hou Ye did everything possible to keep him, and later the Hou Ye said that he would wait until the filial piety period to move, so that the three of them could get together more, so he gave up.
He is not selfish, and wants to take advantage of the prestige of the champion Hou to gain a firm foothold in the officialdom as soon as possible, so that he can compete with Lanshan and his son as soon as possible.
Not to mention anything else, once every three years, he is not the only young talent, is Xu Cifu only interested in him because he is the grandson of the deceased Confucian Qiao?
I'm afraid this is only one reason, and the other reason is that the proximity of the champion Hou to him let the world know that the in-law relationship between the Qiao family and the Hou Mansion was not broken because of the departure of the Qiao family.
But if he knew that such rumors would eventually spread from living in the Hou Mansion, he would rather move out early.
"You move out for me quickly, don't bring my daughter's reputation to you!" Li Guangwen said with a tiger face.
Originally, I thought this kid was very good, but it's a pity that he doesn't have any other daughters, but now it seems that he is still a son-in-law.
"Master Li, I can't move away now, otherwise wouldn't it make people feel like a thief?"
Li Guangwen was stunned and depressed: "Then what are you going to do?"
