205 Boom and Fall

Xie Zaixing and Zhu Wenzheng died from the calculations of traitors and the suspicion of the king, as well as the blind Xie family and Luanfeng couple, so many fresh lives were buried together in Li Shanchang's calculations.

After reading those scattered ledgers and letters, Xu Miaoyi can basically deduce the truth about the death of her mother Xiao Xie. Xie Zaixing, who had just "defected" at that time, suspected that there were spies hidden in the army, so he stole some account books from Zhang Shicheng, and found out Zhou Kui, a staff member next to Xu Da.

Xie Zaixing threatened Zhou Kui to join Zhang Shicheng together, in fact, in order to get more lists of betrayers from Zhou Kui, and Zhou Kui was recommended by Li Shanchang to Xu Da as a staff member back then.

Li Shanchang, as Zhu Yuanzhang's most important minister, is promoted and dispatched by officials, and almost all the financial power is controlled by him, so although the henchmen have their own masters on the surface, they all know the truth that only by following Li Shanchang can they be promoted to officials and make a fortune for a long time. Although Xu Da is also very good to Zhou Kui, for Zhou Kui, Li Shanchang's kindness and promotion are far greater than Xu Da's kindness.

Therefore, after Zhou Kui saw that Xie Zaixing was aware, he immediately told Li Shanchang, the mastermind behind the scenes, and Li Shanchang ordered to kill them all at all costs. Theoretically, Xu Da is Zhou Kui's Dongweng, but at the moment of the catastrophe, Zhou Kui did not hesitate to buy a group of outlaws with a lot of money, and killed Xu Da's wife and daughter in the snow, betraying the contract of the lord of Weng.

The entire escort team was slaughtered, Xiao Xie committed suicide, Xu Miaoyi disappeared, Xu Da searched for several years without news, Zhou Kui thought that in the cold winter, a pampered seven-year-old girl could not protect herself, she must have died of starvation, and her bones were also eaten by wild dogs, thinking that everything was over.

The founding of the Ming Dynasty, Li Shanchang was the prime minister, one person attained the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascended to heaven, and Zhou Kui's henchmen naturally followed the soaring Huang Tengda, and became the right attendant of the Ministry of Officials, and the fourth member of the imperial court. On the surface, he thought that he was promoting Zhou Kui on Xu Da's face, but in fact, Li Shanchang did it in order to consolidate his power and weave party henchmen, and the party fought against differences.

Li Shanchang almost had no last resort and was thoughtful, except for the seven-year-old Xu Miaoyi, who everyone thought was buried in the snow, and this little girl who everyone thought was buried in the snow would become the gravedigger of Li Shanchang and his henchmen in the future.

As an adult, Xu Miaoyi found the first murderer, Zhao Qianhu, through the relics of her mother's cage that appeared on the black market, and with the help of Mingjiao's eyeliner, she found the first murderer, Zhao Qianhu, and found Zhou Kui, who bought/murdered.

In the face of Xu Miaoyi's torture to extract a confession, Zhou Kui took the crime on himself in order to protect his wife and children, and did not hand over Li Shanchang. Xu Miaoyi killed Zhou Kui, disguised as a fire in the study, and destroyed the corpse. But when it was rumored in the capital that Xu Da's daughter was still alive, Mrs. Zhou instantly understood that her husband's death was not an accident, and that Xu Miaoyi or Xu Da killed her husband.

Mrs. Zhou told Huang Yan about her guess, but at that time, Huang Yan was still unsure of Xu Miaoyi's identity, and she also took into account the complicated situation such as whether Xu Da agreed with this lost daughter. But Mrs. Zhou was vengeful and couldn't care so much, so she privately bribed some outlaws to assassinate Xu Miaoyi.

Originally, Zhou Kui pleaded guilty and was executed, and everything would be calm, but Xu Miaoyi thought that Zhou Kui was the culprit and her revenge was successful. But Mrs. Zhou's assassination failed, and Mao Xiang, the prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, alarmed Xu Da, Zhu Shouqian, the king of Jingjiang, and even the emperor began to be suspicious, and the old case that had been silent for ten years was revived, forcing Huang Yan to personally take action and poison Mrs. Zhou.

But Huang Yan didn't expect his actions to be discovered by the Fox Trace Elder of the Ming Sect, and the Fox Trace took this opportunity to formulate a plan to set fire to the mountain, wanting to ignite Xu Miaoyi's hatred and assassinate Zhu Yuanzhang.

The fox trace ordered the Ming Sect to set up a bureau to lure an official who forced the Xie family in Shaoxing to commit suicide ten years ago to the door of the often haunted Xie family's old mansion to be executed, and created rumors of fright and revenge, luring Zhu Shouqian and Xu Miaoyi to continue to investigate the case.

The fox trace miscalculated that he underestimated Xu Miaoyi's insight, this girl was not led by anyone at all, she got Zhu Di's help, found the file of Xie Zaixing's case, did not go directly to Shaoxing, but according to the suspicions found in the file, first found Miss Luan of Hanshan Temple, and then went to Jinhua to open a museum for autopsy, and according to the treasure map reminded by the lord of Yong'an, she went to the small island in the center of the West Lake to expand the inscription......

Huang Yan's henchmen are all over the Governor's Mansion, so Xu Miaoyi's various actions are almost impossible to hide from his ears and eyes, Huang Yan sent people to chase and intercept behind him, cut off clues, force Miss Luan to death, and even set fire to the island ruthlessly, wanting to completely wipe out Xu Miaoyi.

But at the critical moment, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, brought someone to save Xu Miaoyi, the king of Yan is the prince, once he has an accident, the emperor will not give up, so Huang Yan does not dare to move Xu Miaoyi easily.

Good luck began to tilt towards Xu Miaoyi.

The suspicions revealed by Xu Miaoyi have been confirmed, and Emperor Hongwu did kill Xie Zaixing and Zhu Wenzheng back then, but it does not mean that he is willing

Blinded by others, Zhu Yuanzhang after ascending the throne was more suspicious than when he was the lord, he quickly cut through the chaos and disbanded the pro-soldier Duwei Mansion, and ordered his son Mao Xiang to form a brocade guard and supervise hundreds of officials.

Huang Yan's ears and eyes were cut off because of this, and he began to struggle, and what was even worse was that Xu Miaoyi still refused to give up, biting like a mad dog, failing to achieve her goal, and vowing not to give up - but even so, Xu Miaoyi's strength is still far inferior to Li Shanchang, the prime minister who is above 10,000 people under one person.

But Li Shanchang was inexplicably panicked, because this scene seemed familiar.

Li Shanchang remembered that ten years ago, when Zhu Yuanzhang was embattled and his territory was almost divided between Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng, Zhu Wenzheng used 50,000 to Chen Youliang's 300,000 army in Hongdu, and Xie Zaixing used 10,000 remnants against Zhang Shicheng's 100,000 army.

Weng and his son-in-law knew that there was a huge disparity in strength, but they did not give up; Seemingly impossible victories have miraculously occurred one after another.

This is the way of fortune, this is the will of heaven, and the will of heaven cannot be violated. Li Shanchang felt that he was gradually losing the favor of heaven, and the seven-year-old girl who fled back then may be his nemesis.

Huang Yan finally got into the trap set by Xu Miaoyi and Jinyiwei, Li Shanchang's most powerful eagle dog was caught, Huang Yan was about to extinguish the oil lamp in the edict prison that was more tormenting than hell, the clues were about to be interrupted again, and fate seemed to favor Li Shanchang again, Xu Miaoyi discovered the meaning of the stone inscription poem in the stele forest, dug up the grave of Luan Feng and his wife again, and also shoveled the first spade tomb soil in Li Shanchang's tomb.

Gyeongseong, the government of Korea.

The north wind was slaughtering, Li Shanchang was walking on the boundless wind and snow road, and there was a middle-aged man's deep voice singing: "Cast into the fox trace Xing rabbit den, how many heroes." Dingzu is three and a half points and a half waist folded, do you know that he is Wei Ye? Do you know that he is Jinye? ”

Li Shanchang followed the sound, and suddenly saw a brightly lit ancestral hall in front of him, at the entrance of the ancestral hall, a general wearing silver-white fish-scale armor sharpened his sword, sang, raised his head and smiled: "You are here." ”

"Xie Zaixing?" Li Shanchang said coldly: "You have been dead for a long time. ”

Xie Zaixing stroked the shiny blade and laughed, "Long time no see, old friend, you're old!" ”

Li Shanchang looked at Xie Zaixing, he always stayed in the prime of life, handsome and high-spirited, Li Shanchang was calm even in his dreams, "Of course the living will get old, and the dead will not need it." ”

Xie Zaixing stood with his sword in his hand, looking at the long sword like autumn water in his hand with satisfaction, "Ten years of sharpening a sword, the frost blade has never been recognized." My granddaughter has been honing outside for ten years, and your grievances with me are about to come to an end, this sword is powerful, and it is worthy of being the blood of my Xie family. ”

Li Shanchang sneered: "What result do you want?" How I ruined you back then, I will ruin her. ”

Xie Zaixing said, "Actually, what the result is, you know very well in your heart, come in and see for yourself." ”

After that, Xie Zaixing pushed open the door of the ancestral hall. Dozens of large and small figures hung on the beams of the house, and Li Shanchang had seen this scene with his own eyes in the ancestral hall of the Xie family.

Li Shanchang said: "It's your incompetence that will harm the whole family. ”

Xie Zaixing said: "Look carefully. ”

Li Shanchang approached the ancestral hall, looked up, and suddenly found that the face of the person who committed suicide by hanging a beam in front of him was very familiar, "Madam! ”

It's actually his old wife!

Xie Zaixing said with a smile: "How many heroes, three and a half points and a half of the waist." It is far from the time when the dust has settled, and how many of us will live by then? One report and one report, the pain suffered by our Xie family, your Li family also has to taste it again. ”

Li Shanchang, the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, woke up from his dream suddenly, couldn't sleep anymore, quietly got up in his clothes, and the old wife beside him yawned and said: "Grandpa Guo, it's still early, let's sleep again." ”

Li Shanchang said: "You continue to sleep, I have to prepare for today's morning court." ”

The old wife got up and said, "Forget it, people are old, they don't sleep much, and they can't sleep when they wake up." ”

Li Shanchang looked at his old wife's gray hair, remembered Fang Cai's nightmare, and couldn't help but be a little stunned, "Do you say that God only likes young people, and we old guys are no longer favored?" It's really annoying that things haven't been going well lately. ”

The old wife smiled: "Who said that?" People say that ginger is old and spicy, are there more old ministers in the court or more young courtiers? Does the emperor reuse the old ministers or hand over the heavy responsibility to those new jinshi who don't have a full beard? You have been teaching the children that people will win the heavens, don't believe in any ghosts and gods, what's wrong today? Sadness and sadness like self-pity. ”

Speaking of the children, Li Shanchang tried not to recall the situation in the nightmare, and asked, "Princess...... Still haven't moved? ”

"What's going on?" The old wife thought for a while, "Alas, you mean the matter of holding your grandson, this matter is not urgent, it's okay to burn a few more incense sticks before sending your son Guanyin." Our eldest daughter-in-law is a princess, even if our old husband and wife have gray hair, we don't dare to urge. ”

Princess Lin'an, as the eldest daughter of Emperor Hongwu, has been married to Li Shanchang's eldest son Li Qi for several years, the princess is gentle and virtuous, and the concubine is also deeply used by Zhu Yuanzhang, the husband and wife are very affectionate, everything is perfect, and the only regret is that the princess is not pregnant.

Li Shanchang nodded and said: "Of course I know, after all, it is the difference between monarchs and ministers, how dare our Li family make a mistake, but ...... The princess has been married to Qi'er for several years, and she has not been able to have children, no matter what, you secretly find a doctor to show Qi'er first. ”

After many years of husband and wife, the old wife felt that something was wrong, "What happened?" So upsetting you? ”

Li Shanchang said: "Oh, it's nothing, it's just that I'm thinking that I'm about to resign from the old man, and I'm not sure, if our Li family has a grandson of royal blood, we don't have to worry about anything in the future." ”

The old wife said with a smile: "What are you afraid of resigning, Liu Ji has been squeezed away by you, Hu Weiyong's succession to the position of prime minister is a sure thing, he is your person, although you are old, who dares to come to our Li family to spread wilderness?" ”

Li Shanchang sighed and said, "Your heart is unpredictable......" 166 Reading Network
