Chapter 227: Hot Discussion
At this time, Concubine Xian has been a succession of bad things recently, and the weather is hot and stuffy, which makes Concubine Xian's mood a little irritable. And just after falling asleep for a while in the sticky summer day, she was woken up again, how could Concubine Xian's mood be good? And if the people below at this time were not Xie Wen, but someone else, then it is estimated that Concubine Xian's anger would have poured out a long time ago, and the people who came would have been swallowed up by Concubine Xian's anger.
But even so, after Xie Wen entered the hall to salute Concubine Xian, Concubine Xian's willow eyebrows still wrinkled slightly, and said, "Min'er, you came over at this time, did something happen?" ”
Concubine Xian didn't go around in circles, and asked Xie Wen directly. And Xie Wen, who is familiar with his mother's temper, also knows that since the stealing of the military quartermaster, the successive bad news has made Concubine Xian's mood so bad that it can't be worse, so seeing Concubine Xian's expression at this time, Xie Wen didn't dare to delay, and said to Concubine Xian: "Mother Qi, the child wants to tell you about the Shoushi found in Jiangnan, Mother Concubine, didn't you still talk a few days ago, saying that you want to prepare in advance for the Queen Mother's Thousand Autumn New Year's Banquet." ”
After Xie Wen finished speaking, he glanced up at Concubine Xian and lowered her head again, but Concubine Xian's expression was still slightly irritated at this time, and then she suddenly got up and said, "Oh, it's this matter, yes, this palace has been remembering it very much recently." Okay, you all stand down, and this palace wants to discuss this matter with Min'er. ”
Concubine Xian smiled and dismissed all the people in the hall, and after they all withdrew from the inner hall according to their words, Concubine Xian's face immediately sank. He looked at Coco Xie and asked, "What's going on again?" "Concubine Xian is now a little angry with Xie Wen. Especially after the matter of stealing and exchanging military supplies continued to ferment for a long time, and Concubine Xian wasted countless efforts to suppress the consequences caused by this matter, Concubine Xian's disappointment with Xie Wen was slowly expanding.
"Back to my mother, things ...... Here's the thing. After Xie Wen spread the news of the defeat in the first battle of Jiaogu in the Shendu, the hot topic of people's discussion involved the theft of military supplies, which made the people's anger and biased in his favor. It was said word for word to Concubine Xian.
"Click" An elm golden hairpin that was being gently stroked by Concubine Xian was broken by force, and this crisp click. In the huge inner sanctum, where there are only two people, it couldn't be clearer.
"Hmph" Concubine Xian sneered and said to Coco Xie: "Look at the good things you have done, they have really brought you a lot of 'good luck'." Isn't it? What the hell do I tell you on a daily basis? I've told you to be cautious in what you say and do, and when you look at what you've done now, and you've turned what was supposed to be a great situation into the situation you are in. That's amazing! ”
Concubine Xian looked at Xie Wen with a sneer, and Xie Wen didn't dare to make a sound, whether she was polite or arrogant in front of Xie Jing and others on weekdays. I can't find it on Coco Xie now.
"Mother, the son knows his mistake. But the most important thing now is not to teach the child a lesson, but to quickly find a way to deal with it. Otherwise, it is a trivial matter for the child's reputation to be lost, but if the father and the emperor blame it because of this incident, and then the mother and concubine are affected, then the child is really a great crime. Xie Wen said to Concubine Xian without raising his head, his tone was very sincere, as if he really didn't care about his own safety at all, and only cared about Concubine Xian.
"Come on." Concubine Xian stretched out her hand and rubbed her temples with a faint pain, and said: "Now your father is angry with you, and now it is finally a little bit of a turnaround, but you see, now the matter of military supplies continues to be discussed in the Shendu, if this is passed on to your father's ears, I don't need to say anything more, Min'er, you are afraid that you will know the answer." ”
"Mother." The corner of Xie Wen's eyes jumped, and then he raised his head suddenly, his face was actually full of sadness, after Concubine Xian saw it, she was still angry, but it slowly dissipated, no matter what, the person in front of her was also her child, the only child. In the future, won't her future glory and wealth still be tied to him? Anyway, apart from Xie Wen, Concubine Xian didn't have any other best choice.
Therefore, after closing her eyes, when Concubine Xian opened them again, there was no anger in her eyes, and she regained her calm and said to Xie Wen: "You will solve the affairs of the market by yourself, your father and the emperor are here, I will instruct Rong Zhaoyi and them to try their best to drag the saint and prevent him from going to Yuanyang Palace." But after all, this time is limited, and if it weren't for the fact that your father was a little unwell recently and no longer went to court, it would be impossible in this short period of time. ”
"Mother Xie, please rest assured, as long as it takes two days, the child will definitely be able to handle this matter." Coco Xie bowed his head and saluted in thanks, and at this moment, on Coco Xie's drooping face, the corners of his mouth were already slightly raised.
The purpose of Xie Wen's entry into the palace today was also to ask his mother to help, to help cover in front of Emperor Zhou Hui, to buy him time, and to suppress the heated discussion about the stealing of military supplies that had started again in the Shendu. As long as we use high-pressure means to kill one or two people to make an example, then even if others are not convinced, they will not dare to discuss this matter like this.
And Coco Xie's purpose has been achieved, originally what he wanted was not to block everyone's mouth, because Coco Xie is a smart person, how could he not understand, if he wants to completely block everyone's mouth, it is simply impossible. But he only needs to suppress this matter, reduce people's discussion of this matter, and ensure that these whispered heated discussions will not be transmitted to the palace and to Emperor Zhou Hui, then Xie Wen's purpose will be achieved.
……
……
Today, the gods were very lively, and there were many people in the streets and alleys who did not go home when night fell, and still sat there under the big trees or in front of the door, seven or eight people sat there and whispered something. It's just that although the things that people are talking about now are still the same as they were in the morning, they have become a little strangely cautious in their voices and faces when they talk about the theft of military supplies. Even to the end. There was also a suggestion in the crowd: "Forget it, don't mention this matter again, do you imagine noon today." Are the two people in front of Mingyue Lane ordinary? ”
When everyone was talking about the stealing of military supplies, they were inexplicably cautious and nervous, and now when they heard the man mention Mingyue Lane, their faces suddenly changed, and then they all got up suddenly, shirking something at home or something, and left.
And what is it that can make everyone so afraid? Naturally, it's noon today. In front of Mingyue Lane, two people talked loudly about the stealing of military supplies, and they mentioned Xie Wen's name without taboo in their words. After a while, he was inexplicably beaten by the ruffians and seriously injured, and those ruffians should be people who often do this, and they are very particular about their hands. Let the two men who were beaten by them be seriously injured. But there was no danger to life.
And those injuries are all avoided from the vital parts, all of them are called on the rough skin and thick flesh, or the most sensitive and weak places of the human body, such as the nose and the arch of the feet, those ruffians and hooligans have worked hard, all of them are beaten to the point that the two people are in pain and begging for death, but they will not let them get into a life lawsuit. The means are precise and ruthless, and at a glance, you can tell that they will not be ordinary ruffians.
At first, people didn't know what was going on, but then the news came out of nowhere. said that the reason why these two people were besieged by the ruffians was because they talked loudly about His Royal Highness the Third Prince, Xie Wen. So much so that he was annoyed by the followers of His Royal Highness the Third Prince, so he sent people to beat him.
This kind of gossip spread among people immediately, and the panic caused by it also spread rapidly, so that when people discussed the matter of munitions and Xie Wen, they all involuntarily whispered, and they were all cautiously looking around, as if something would suddenly pop out again.
Chu Wangfu, Po Wei Houyun.
"Princess, don't you know, today in front of Mingyue Lane, those two people were beaten beyond recognition, there is no good place on the body, as long as they pass through the place where they stretch, it is all blood, and it has not been broken along the way, it is really scary."
In the main room, Chu Dai said to Xu Youshan, who was sitting on the couch on the other side, saying that the servants in Bowei Houyun, who had just gone to Duanju Street to run errands this morning, relayed to Chu Dai what he saw with his own eyes after he came back, and Chu Dai was relaying all of them to Xu Youshan. In addition, it is indispensable that Chu Dai must have added a lot of her own feelings to it, and she also expressed them all to Xu Youshan.
But after Xu Youshan heard this, she didn't say much, just nodded slightly. After all, with Xie Jing's previous explanation, Xu Youshan already knew that this battle would be lost, and it would definitely be lost. Therefore, even with Xu Youshan's shallow understanding of the old lady of the Zhai family, she also knows that this old lady of the Zhai family will never let his soldiers and generals do any unnecessary sacrifices.
As for what happened in front of Mingyue Lane today, Xu Youshan is not very surprised, from the incident of secretly changing military supplies to the farce of proposing relatives at the Dragon Boat Palace banquet, Emperor Zhou Hui's love for Xie Wen has been declining, if it weren't for the fact that there is no better candidate than Xie Wen now, maybe it should be said that if Xie Yan is not married to Princess Dongji now, then it can't be said that the person who was rejected at this time has already been replaced by Xie Wen.
But because everything is a foregone conclusion, in Emperor Zhou Huidi's heart, there is only one best choice left for Coco Xie at this time, so Emperor Zhou Hui is so tolerant of Coco Xie. And Coco Xie will be so fearless, and he will dare to make this kind of countermeasure at this time, not afraid of being dealt with by the court at all.
And Xu Youshan knew these things very well, so she didn't have much reaction to what Chu Dai said in shock. But Xu Youshan didn't stop Chu Dai from talking, so Chu Dai kept muttering about the incident that happened in Mingyue Lane at noon.
"There were a lot of onlookers at that time, but no one dared to step forward to stop them, and when the officials arrived, the two people had already been beaten and covered in blood, and the world was really cold." Chu Dai said with some embarrassment, she was a little indignant at the fact that no one came forward to stop it at that time.
But unlike Chu Dai's indignation, Wu Lin and Mother Liu next to her looked very calm, obviously this kind of fact was just an ordinary thing in front of their eyes, and there was no need to marvel at all. On the contrary, the fuss reaction like Chu Dai is peculiar and abnormal. But in fact, in the face of these hot and cold worlds, more people are silent.
"Has Your Highness returned?"
And just when Chu Dai didn't care whether anyone responded to her or not, she was more and more excited to express her opinions, Xu Youshan suddenly raised her eyes, happened to look at the deep night outside the window, and found that it was almost time at this time, so Xu Youshan opened her mouth and asked softly, Xie Jing, who has not come back since she left the house in the morning. And this gentle sentence just interrupted Chu Dai's remarks that she wanted to say again.
"Back to the princess, not yet." Although being interrupted made Chu Dai feel a little uncomfortable, looking at Xu Youshan's faint eyes, Chu Dai closed her mouth very wisely, and muttered in her heart: Why is the young lady more and more similar to the prince.
"I haven't come back yet!" Xu Youshan repeated it gently, and then looked down at the book in his hand again, but if you have carefully observed Xu Youshan, you will definitely know that in fact, since a long time ago, the book in Xu Youshan's hand has never turned a page.
"Princess, it's so late, do you want to rest first?" Because of Xu Youshan's quietness, the room also became quiet, and just now because of Chu Dai's non-stop chatter, the excitement caused by Chu Dai's non-stop chatter, at this time, because of Xu Youshan's faint glance just now, Chu Dai didn't dare to say more, so now the room is getting quieter, so that Wu Lin had to open his mouth first to break the silence and ask.
"No, I'm not sleepy, I want to read a book for a while, Mother Wu, you go down and rest first." Xu Youshan shook her head lightly and rejected Wu Lin's proposal.
"This ...... Well, if you still want to read a little more, the old slaves will retreat first. Wu Lin saw that Xu Youshan wanted to be quiet, so after glancing at Liu's mother, they all got up and retired. (To be continued.) )
