As soon as the news of Tong Shuyan's death spread, people were surprised and sighed again and again, this Tong girl is really a fierce girl, for the sake of her own innocence, she actually died with her will, and she really deserves to be a good daughter of Tong Shushu. In this way, within a day's effort, half of the people in the capital knew about it, and they automatically went to Tong's house to mourn.

Tong Jinnan no longer had the energy to greet the guests, so he just sat in front of his daughter's coffin with a numb expression, and Yalan and Li Xuan were handling everything.

Actually, Tong Jinnan didn't hate Li Xuan, but if he didn't say those words, how could his daughter not think about it? Thinking like this, the little hatred for Li Xuan was also offset.

Tong Shuyan is an unmarried girl, and she died unexpectedly, so it stands to reason that she can't be buried in the ancestral grave of the Tong family. After Li Xuan and Tong Jinnan discussed, they prepared to bury Tong Shuyan on the small island in Nanhu. When Tong Jinnan heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Li Xuan, and finally did not object.

The day before the burial, Zhang Yi and Gu Qihuai both went to mourn. Zhang Yi saw Li Xuan's attitude as a master, lowered his eyes and sighed, really, those who had a relationship with the Li family did not end well.

"The deceased is gone, don't be too sad." Zhang Yi looked at him and said gently.

Li Xuan glanced up at him, nodded and didn't say anything, but Gu Qihuai patted him on the shoulder and said a few more words, "Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and some things will come in the future." ”

Li Xuan lowered his eyes and snorted, then thought about it, knowing that he had something to say, he couldn't help but look up at him, but he didn't show much emotion, "How long is the coming day?" ”

"I have a solid foundation with it, so Xiangguo will not be Zhishi in the past three years, and after three years, the wood has become a forest, and we will assist Xiangguo to do something before Zhishi, you can wait with peace of mind."

Zhang Yi, the word is clear.

Hearing this, Li Xuan raised his eyes and saw Zhang Yi, who was talking to Tong Jinnan not far away, and nodded expressionlessly.

"So, there are some things you have to endure with grievances."

"I understand."

Gu Qihuai looked at him, and he didn't know if he really understood or fakely understood, but he didn't continue the topic, and instead looked at Tong Shuyan's coffin, as if he didn't know what to remember, he sighed with a wry smile, "The woman who reads the book is really unprovoked." ”

"Isn't there anyone in your family who can memorize the "Notes on the Four Books and Chapters and Sentences"?" Li Xuan couldn't help but squeeze.

If there was no girl who could endorse her, maybe Li March would not have met Zhang Jin, and neither of them would have died.

Hearing this, the bitterness at the corners of Gu Qihuai's mouth was even worse, as if he was enduring some emotion, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and looked at Li Xuan and smiled extremely helplessly, "It's just that she can't be provoked, if she is angry, she can take half a life." ”

Although he didn't know what Gu Qihuai was talking about, Li Xuan very much agreed with the matter of asking for half a life, and Tong Shuyan's death really took away half of his life.

Tong Shuyan stopped at home for 11 days before being buried, and on the day the coffin was carried out, Tong Jinnan cried so much that he fainted without taking a breath, and the Tong family was in a mess again. Li Xuan was much calmer, personally sent the coffin to Nanhu, and personally helped the coffin to go down the well.

He watched expressionlessly as her coffin was swallowed up by the loess, and as the craftsmen built the pile of loess into the wall. When the tombstone was erected, everyone present couldn't help muttering, the epitaph was written "Tong's Tomb of Shuyan", but the person who erected the monument was not Tong Jinnan but Li Xuan. Could it be that Tong Shuyan and Li Xuan really have an ulterior relationship?

Although everyone thought so, they didn't say it in the end, after all, Tong Shuyan died for this matter, so don't discredit the deceased anymore.

After everyone left, Li Xuan walked to the tombstone, knelt down, and stroked word by word, and when he touched the word 'tomb', he finally couldn't help but feel sad, leaning on the tombstone and crying silently. He saved her life and killed her.

He bit his fingers, wrote the word "beloved wife" on the tombstone, raised his hand to wipe his tears, kissed her name, and said in a deep voice: "You wait for me!" ”

……

Tong Shuyan's death caused a lot of sensation in Beijing, the emperor admired Tong Shuyan's character, ordered to build a memorial arch for her, and even Tong Jinnan was named Chen Pinghou, rewarding him for teaching his daughter. And since Tong Jinnan's death, where does he still have any thoughts on government politics? All day long, he put forward a request to the priest every three or five days, and the emperor couldn't bear it, so he didn't allow it, but transferred him to the Ministry of Rites and became the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

It is worth mentioning Qi Chuyu, she always feels that Li Xuan is gambling for a while, if she gives birth to a child, Li Xuan will not be angry with her in the face of the child.

In the autumn of this year, Qi Chuyu gave birth to a baby boy smoothly, but Li Xuan did not ignore it as he said, but went to see her, and gently told her to rest well, and often came to ask if she was eating well and sleeping well.

Qi Chuyu thought that the relationship between husband and wife had broken the ice, and he often came to see the children. But until the child was full moon or even a hundred days old, he didn't mean to set up a banquet to entertain guests, and at that time Qi Chuyu realized that he didn't want to have a husband and wife with her, even if it was just the reality of a husband and wife as seen by outsiders.

And Li Xuan, without Tong Jinnan's support, no one paid attention to him in the court, but Zhang Yi and Gu Qihuai, all the way to the official fortune, through Wang Yang's strong recommendation, they all went to the East Palace to accompany the prince to study. From the minister of the dragon, the future is immeasurable. And he? Only by honestly sitting on the cold bench of the Hanlin Academy for a few years to see what the future holds.

After the museum was dispersed, Li Xuan chose the Metropolitan Procuratorate to have a six-product experience, Rao Chengwen looked at him and said with a smile: "It's really a good student of the old man, a good household doesn't go, but the old man offends the Metropolitan Procuratorate." ”

Li Xuan also smiled, "Everywhere you go, you serve Your Majesty, not to mention that there is a good teacher in the Metropolitan Procuratorate." ”

Rao Chengwen hooked the corners of his mouth, didn't say anything, just secretly arranged it, and the chores that offended people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate were really given to Li Xuan. Li Xuan also accepted the obedience, never said half a word, but in the second year, he was promoted to the fifth grade, and was transferred to Dali Temple to do Zuo Sicheng.

This year, Wang Yang Zhishi, unlike others who want to make a safe transition, before Wang Yang Zhishi, handed an excerpt to the emperor, impeaching Rao Cheng for fraud in the liberal arts field and framing Zhongliang for forming a party for personal gain, and for a time the court set off a storm.

The emperor ordered Dali Temple to investigate this matter, and this kind of offending the powerful naturally fell on Li Xuan's head. That night, he took the officials of Dali Temple to Rao's house, and more than a dozen torches illuminated Rao's house.

"Li Xuan, you are deliberately retaliating!" Rao Chengwen gritted his teeth and looked at him.

Hearing this, Li Xuan smiled, with a humble look on his face, "The teacher's words are serious, the student is just doing things according to the regulations, besides, you have no grievances with the student, what is the student retaliating against you?" ”

"Do things according to the rules, will there be a dozen people? Who are you trying to scare? ”

"The road is dark, and the students are very scared, so bring more people to strengthen their courage."

Rao Chengwen snorted coldly, "If you walk too much at night, you will meet ghosts." ”

"Then the student will be Zhong Kui." Li Xuan raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a smile.

"Li Xuan, let me tell you, the hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen, you should be careful."

Li Xuan smiled and nodded, "Thank you for the reminder, teacher, please here." ”

Rao Chengwen snorted coldly and walked out. When the ladies of the Rao family saw this, they cried and cried out to him.

Li Xuan glanced back, and instantly felt that it was a good thing that Li March was dead.

"Father!" The fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl suddenly ran out and grabbed Rao Chengwen's sleeve, "Father, don't worry, the child will find a way." ”

Rao Chengwen patted her hand and nodded, "Take care of the family." ”

The girl nodded tearfully and let her father go.

Li Xuan couldn't help but glance at the girl, and the girl also raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes full of hatred.

He smiled and said to the girl, "Don't hate me, Lord Lingzun just walked too much at night and met ghosts." ”

"Shameless people who sell their sisters for glory, Hugh shows off your power in front of me, and you will also be punished." The girl sneered.

Her words successfully made Li Xuan frown, and he raised his head and half-squinted at her and said, "My retribution has already suffered in front, but the girl has such a father, and she is afraid that retribution will come later." I would like to persuade the girl to plan for yourself earlier," he said, glancing at everyone in her courtyard and sneering, "Don't put yourself in again." ”

"I don't need you to remind you! Get lost! The girl said angrily.

Li Xuan hooked the corners of his mouth, turned around and left.

Let's say that after Rao Chengwen entered Dali Temple, the people of the Rao family went around begging for help, but the sentence that the tree fell and the tree was scattered has never been deceiving, and those people either played perfunctory haha, or they didn't even see the face of the Rao family.

This is not an uncommon thing, after all, who would dare to rescue such a thing as fraud in the field that hurts the country? Therefore, Rao Chengwen is also barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, and directly said that when Li Xuan was taking the Xiucai exam, he missed the question.

When Dali Siqing heard this, he couldn't help but look sideways at Li Xuan, Li Xuan was calm, Rao Chengwen recorded whatever he said, and the file was presented to the emperor.

The emperor read the file and naturally called Li Xuan for questioning, Zhang Yi and Gu Qihuai were present at that time, the emperor asked Li Xuan if it was true, Li Xuan said calmly: "My mother has been dead for many years, and Rao Chengwen has made a deal with my mother, and the minister does not know." ”

"Your Majesty, Rao Chengwen and Li Sicheng have some personal grievances, saying this kind of thing at this time is just pulling people into the water, and there is no basis for empty words, so you can't be convicted." Gu Qihuai said in a deep voice.

Gu Qihuai's so-called personal grudges, the emperor also understood, so Rao Chengwen's words were only suspicious, and he was about to say something, when he saw Zhang Yi bow down first, and said in a deep voice: "Li Sicheng's sister is the stepmother of the minister, saying that it is really damaging to his mother's reputation to allow him to be a concubine to Rao Chengwen, and I implore Your Majesty to investigate and return my mother's innocence." ”

Hearing this, everyone was shocked, Li Sicheng looked seven or eight years older than Zhang Yi, and Li Xuan's sister was Zhang Yi's stepmother, which was a little difficult to accept.

When the emperor heard this, he also laughed, "I originally thought that there was only an in-law relationship in the court, but I never thought that today there are more relatives. ”

Hearing this, everyone laughed in agreement, knowing that the emperor would not delve into it further. This is also reasonable, if Li Xuan really can't even pass the government test, what kind of township test will he talk about? Li Xuan glanced at Zhang Yi, lowered his eyes and smiled, and the matter was revealed so painlessly.

And Rao Chengwen, the charges were laid out one by one, and there was evidence, and he was finally sentenced to beheading, his family property was confiscated, and all his family members were exiled.
