Chapter Ninety-Six: The Way Back
Xidang Xiao came to Min Shuo to discuss the matter at night, which was about Hang Yue, who had just been promoted to the right middle of the imperial history. In the case of embankment repair and corruption, this Hang Yue made him lose an arm, so naturally it was impossible to do it so simply.
"What do you think?" Min Shuo took a sip of tea and raised his eyes to look at Xiao Ru and said.
Xiao Ru frowned, pondered for a moment and said, "Find a way to get rid of her." ”
Min Shuo hesitated slightly, gently put the teacup back on the coffee table, and then smiled leisurely: "Xiangye seems to be a little anxious, isn't it the matter of shooting adults that makes Xiangye angry?" ”
"There is part of it." Xiao Ruchang pursed his eyebrows and said, "But there is one more thing that I care about very much - that Hang Yue was summoned by the emperor for a banquet as soon as he returned to Beijing, I suspect ......"
"What is Xiangye suspicious? Do you suspect that the emperor is recruiting ministers, or do you suspect that the emperor has taken a fancy to this Hang Yue and wants to admit her into the palace? Min Shuo took the first step to speak.
Xiao Ru was stunned and silent.
"If you recruit ministers, Xiangye and Dongdang can watch it like this, does Xiangye think that the emperor will be so unscrupulous to solicit ministers?" Min Shuo hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "If you like it, don't forget it, the ancestral system of the Chu Dynasty is clearly written, does Xiang Ye think that the emperor will ignore the ancestral legal system for the sake of a woman?" ”
For the sake of the Zheng Dynasty, since the female official system, there are words in the Chu system that female officials are not allowed to enter the palace as concubines.
Xiao Ru raised his eyebrows and squinted at Min Shuo, his words were not unreasonable. But be careful to make the 10,000-year-old ship, he Xiao Ru has been floating in this sea for decades, so he naturally has his own thoughts.
He groaned for a while, Min Shuo probably guessed his thoughts, Xiao Ruchang naturally would not be persuaded to retire so easily, and Min Shuo said with a turn of his eyes: "But Xiangye's concerns are not impossible, Xia Guan has asked people to inquire about Hang Yue in the past few days, and now we should not startle the snake first." ”
"Well, then let's do what you want first." Xiao Ruchang nodded thoughtfully.
After sending Xiao Ruchang away, Min Shuo's face was a little gloomy.
Night, Hangfu.
Standing outside the study, the moon sighed.
Min Shuo relayed what Xiao Ruchang talked about to the beginning of the month, and this matter is indeed a bit tricky at the moment, because according to Min Shuo, Xiao Ruchang is suspicious and cold.
When the embankment repair case occurred, as soon as the Zhangtai siege soldiers were reported to the imperial court, he abandoned Xiao Ao without hesitation, which surprised Min Shuo, who was watching from the court at that time.
can do this to relatives and nephews, not to mention outsiders, I am afraid that once it is involved, I am afraid that it will not only be the beginning of the month. Therefore, when I learned about this at the beginning of the month, the first thing that came to mind was that Qingdai's family affairs and father and mother were still there.
Her thoughts flew back, and she turned her eyes to the study, how to make her father and mother leave Anyang safely without knowing what was going on has become the biggest headache she has to face now.
In any case, let's find out what my dad is talking about first.
She thought about knocking on the door, but the door opened first. Hang Zhongxuan was taken aback, and when he saw that it was the beginning of the month, his face instantly pulled down and said, "I was about to look for you, come in and talk." ”
I was stunned at the beginning of the month, and I had never seen my father face her so strictly. I suddenly felt a little drumming in my heart, wondering if I had done something recently that made my father unhappy.
Entering the study, she stood cautiously in the middle, Hang Zhongxuan snorted, threw a thin account book in front of him and asked.
At the beginning of the month, he was stunned, bent down to pick up the account book, let go and read a few pages, and was shocked. "Dad, where did you get this ledger?" She asked.
"Where did it come from?" Hang Zhongxuan raised his voice and said, "Didn't you ask Lord Sun of the Ministry of Civil Affairs for it?!" ”
Lord Sun of the Ministry of Civil Affairs was the one who appreciated her when she went to Caozhou for disaster relief with the beginning of the month. At the beginning of the month, I don't know why Lord Sun wanted to hand-copy the account books of the Ministry of Civil Affairs with her, and she was also confused at this time.
"Yue'er, you tell your father the truth, are you secretly doing something?" Hang Zhongxuan looked at the beginning of the month with his eyebrows twisted, worried.
As soon as the month was delayed, I suddenly remembered that she joined the party struggle.
Seeing that the beginning of the month had been standing without speaking, Hang Zhongxuan couldn't help but feel worried, "Yue'er, do you really want to get involved in the party struggle and do things for the East Party?" ”
"Dad, Yue'er doesn't." At the beginning of the month, he suddenly spoke, looking aggrieved.
Seeing that she had settled down, Hang Zhongxuan turned around and sat down in front of the bookcase, and said solemnly: "Yue'er, since the emperor was in power, there has been a faint trend of turmoil inside and outside the court, and the recent corruption case has implicated many officials, including those who died, those who were imprisoned, and those who were exiled. ”
At the beginning of the month, he lowered his eyes and did not speak.
Hang Zhongxuan continued: "The two parties of the East and West are now fighting for power more and more fiercely, and if you are not careful, you will be killed, and my father doesn't want you to go to this troubled water." ”
"Dad and your mother have discussed, when you come back, we will resign and return to Chengzhou, although the life is not as rich as in Anyang, but we can live more peacefully. What do you think? ”
Yue Yue was stunned and looked at Hang Zhongxuan. She originally planned to persuade her father to resign first and return to her hometown to avoid the limelight, but she didn't think that Hang Zhongxuan would mention the matter first.
Yue'er thinks...... Can. She raised her eyebrows and said lightly, "It's just that Yue'er wants to ask her father and mother to go back to Chengzhou first, but Yue'er can't leave Anyang at the moment." ”
"You girl, what do you have that you can't leave?" Hang Zhongxuan said angrily for a while.
"Dad, Yue'er really can't go, but Yue'er definitely hasn't done anything hurtful,"
"Then you tell your father clearly, what did you do without hiding it from your family?"
At the beginning of the month, she bit her lip and wrinkled her eyebrows thinking, she really can't say anything at the moment, if she is not already involved in the party dispute, it is better not to know. Therefore, she could not say anything about it anyway.
Over there, Hang Zhongxuan stared at the beginning of the month for a long time, and this posture seemed to be a bit like he would not stop if he didn't say it, and the beginning of the month just hung his head and didn't say a word. Time passed little by little, and the two could only remain in a stalemate.
"Can't really say?" After a long time, Hang Zhongxuan frowned
"Can't tell."
"You won't go back to Chengzhou with us?"
"No return."
Sighing, Hang Zhongxuan shook his head, "That's it, Dad only asks you one question, and you must answer it." If you don't say it, Dad will take you back anyway. ”
At the beginning of the month, he stiffened and said, "Dad, you ask." ”
"What you're planning has to do with your father?"
The beginning of the month was stunned, lowered his head and wandered his eyes, and after thinking about it again and again, he bit his lip and said, "Yes." ”
"Alright, I got it." He closed his eyes and rubbed the corners of his forehead, "You can take back the account book of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Dad won't force you." After the Mid-Autumn Festival, my father resigned and returned to my hometown with your mother to retire. ”
"Yes." took the account book and left the study silently at the beginning of the month
Hang Zhongxuan looked at her back and couldn't help sighing, when he was in Chengzhou, he felt that this child would not be simple, but what would happen next, no one knew it, so he could only resign himself to fate.
At the beginning of the month, she returned to the room, thinking back to what she had just done, and she was ashamed, but once she stepped out of this road, she couldn't turn back, and she didn't want to look back, she looked down at the account book in her hand, and suddenly a wave of doubts rose, thinking about it, she hurriedly came to the front of the case and let go of the account book to take a closer look.
This look surprised her.
Because she discovered a secret, a secret about the Ministry of Civil Affairs. (To be continued.) )
