Chapter 205: The Doom of Peace (Part 6)
Princess Taiping's Mansion, a small courtyard of self-denial.
The master is not there, except for the servants and maids, there are few people here.
Today, there was an accident, and the two groups confronted each other at the gate of the courtyard.
There are many people on one side, it is Zhang Changzong and his steward, and there are few people on the other side, only Wu Chongxing is one, he came back from the Wu'an County Mansion today, and habitually sneaked around the small courtyard of Keji, but saw that the steward of the house was directing his subordinates to move in and out of the small courtyard of Keji.
What was moved out were ornaments, more expensive things, but what was moved in was some sundries.
Wu Chongxing was immediately annoyed, shouted loudly, and the steward did not dare to take responsibility and moved out of Zhang Changzong.
"This is the eldest brother's courtyard, others have no right to dispose of it, Zhang Jiacheng, speaking of which, you are still a subordinate of the eldest brother, don't mess up the superiority and humility" Although Wu Chongxing is young, he has long followed his brothers in and out of the official office, and he is used to giving orders, and his words are quite sharp.
Zhang Changzong's face turned red and white, but he refused to admit the so-called official position, it was just a trick, no one knew his true identity, if he recognized it, wouldn't he have to bow to this little radish head, "It's my fault, I didn't expect His Royal Highness Dingwang to move away, but Xiao Langjun of Dingwang's Mansion is still there, Quan Langjun is not there, I arranged for someone to take care of the yard for him, Xiao Langjun also has objections?" ”
"He is my younger brother, so he can naturally live here, and he can't tolerate anyone talking nonsense" Xue Chongyin walked to the door of the small courtyard of Keji from another path, with his hands behind his back and a smile, "Zhang Jiacheng is polite, cousin's yard, no one else needs to take care of it, you all retreat"
With a wave of his hand, the steward servant behind Zhang Changzong was half shorter, hesitated for a moment, and receded like a tide.
Zhang Changzong's face turned purple, he snorted coldly, and walked away.
"Brother?" Wu Chongxing's courage dissipated, and he came to Xue Chongyin's side, looking up at him, his eyes were very worried.
Xue Chongyin hugged his shoulder, his eyes narrowed, "It's okay, I've been in my aunt's mansion for a few days, I'm afraid I'll miss you, you will go to your aunt's mansion to accompany her in the next few days."
Wu Chongxing nodded obediently.
Within a few days, Princess Taiping's mansion was full of thunder, Xue Chongyin calmed down, asked about the internal affairs of the house, grasped some of the reasons, and killed several stewards and servants one after another.
Back and forth, Xue Chongyin lost face and couldn't sleep all night.
Early the next morning, I went to the main hall to meet Princess Taiping to apologize, and solemnly kowtowed three times, and Princess Taiping's anger was almost gone, taught him a few words, and waved his hand to call him up.
Xue Chongyin didn't get up immediately, his body stood up, and he knelt straight, "Mother, my son has something to say, there is a way, men should be self-reliant, I want Chongmin to be twelve years old, he has gone to the western Xinjiang to serve the country, the child has reached the age of thirteen, but he is still doing nothing, messing around in the house, making his mother angry, no different from rice worms, he is really a man in vain"
Princess Taiping was slightly stunned, looked at him, and was a little confused, "In the end, it is a good thing to grow up, it is a good thing to have ambitions, what do you want to do, let's hear it"
"It's not a success" Xue Chongyin calmly agreed, "I plan to go to Songshan, and after discussing with my cousin, I will make a decision"
Princess Taiping saw his light and alienated appearance, remembered Quan Ce, she knew that he went to war, came back and mourned, and then directly to the court to leave and ran to Songshan, but she didn't see a side, she turned a blind eye to Zhang Changzong's squeeze to Princess Yiyang's mansion, did not wait for Quan Ce to bow his head, but unexpectedly, it was useless, he really had no conscience, and his mood was very bad, "The wings are hard, let it be, if you need it, go to the account room to pay, go down"
"Mother, the child retires" Xue Chongyin bowed down in a proper manner and exited the main hall, without glancing at Zhang Changzong, who was standing next to him.
Back in his courtyard, Xue Chongyin selected the stewards and guards close to him, packed up the gold and silver, packed the commonly used clothes and decorations, loaded six or seven carriages, and went out from the main gate.
"The next official is Sima Wang Lu of Luoyang, the capital of the gods, because of the murder of the Weiai warehouse, he was ordered to come and meet Her Royal Highness the princess" At the door, a scarlet-robed official led two rows of officials with a solemn expression.
Xue Chongyin was about to get into the carriage, and when he heard this, he paused, laughed at himself, and got into the car and left.
Shangyang Palace, Guanfeng Palace, Wuhou Chang Dynasty.
Before entering the palace, the ministers were in a mixed position, Shi Wuzi deliberately walked in front of the generals, found Hou Sizhi, and didn't care about the fog cover of Yunshan, "General Hou, Quan Langjun went to Songshan, but what explanation is left?" ”
Hou Sizhi greeted him with a smile, and explained that there are naturally four words, no haste, use patience, "Thanks to Shi Shangshu's concern, Quan Langjun explained, you must cooperate with the official affairs of the Tianguan Yamen, follow the arrangement of Shangshu, and every procedure must be fulfilled in place, and you must not lose the imperial court law system because of eagerness"
Shi Wuzi's face suddenly became gloomy as water.
After the start of the court meeting, Empress Wu inquired about the political affairs of all parties, and the focus was still on those few things, the construction of the outer city, the strategy of asking the scholars, the Turkic tribute, and the retraining of the right jade guard and the fireworks army.
Hou Sizhi did not mention the appointment and dismissal of Zuo was stuck in the Tianguan Yamen, but only reported the progress of recruitment, Shi Wuzi breathed a sigh of relief, fixed his mind, and made a ceremony, "The ministers of Tianguan Shangshu Shi Wuzi played, and the ministers were ordered to investigate the Tongkuang whistleblower letters, which were basically clarified, more than 1,000 whistleblower letters, absurd and absurd things accounted for five or six out of ten, and there were two or three out of ten letters that had nothing to tell the whistleblower to vent their anger, and there were more than 200 copies of the secret reports that were really valuable, but more than 200 copies, the people involved and the crimes were omitted here, and I respectfully ask Your Majesty to make a holy judgment"
When Shi Wuzi was reporting, his eyes swept over the imperial historians of the imperial history platform on the left side of the throne from time to time, especially their big leader Lai Junchen and the little wolf dog Lai Zixun.
There was nothing abnormal, Lai Junchen held his lower abdomen with both hands, very quiet, Lai Zixun's eyes were blazing, but he didn't look at him.
"I don't look at it, transfer it to Laiqing, and it will be strictly interrogated by the Yushitai" Empress Wu responded lightly, her body was slightly crooked, and her arm was leaning on the table, so she could take a moment.
The little eunuch holding the abridged list stopped in front of Danqi, and instead took small steps and gave the song to Lai Junchen.
"Minister, the spring official servant Wei Guanzhi, impeached the local official Yamen Duzhilang Wen Changjie, colluded with the prince, conspired with the party, embezzled public funds, confused the court, in the past, the minister was in charge of the military quartermaster in the local official Yamen, and was frequently subject to Wen Changjie, and had to succumb to his obscenity, and gave money and silk to perform official duties, often ashamed, and the minister had correspondence with the books and letters as evidence" Wei Guan was upright and had a strong voice.
"The minister thinks that Wei Shilang is acting inappropriately and harming the prestige of heaven" Lai Zixun was righteous and awe-inspiring, and made accusations, "Your Majesty set up a copper box, which is to facilitate the ministers to come out and expose it, since Wen Changjie is illegal and rebellious, you are under his control, so naturally you should report it in a secret letter, why do you sit back and ignore it and act for the tiger?" ”
"The minister has denounced, not only the minister, but also the subordinate officials of the Du Branch, there are many copper whistleblowers, but the stone sinks into the sea, only the minister turns into the spring official yamen, away from the quagmire, before he dares to admonish, Wen Changjie, the great harm of the official yamen in the field, those who are poisoned by it, I don't know how many" Wei Guan's face was sad, generous and angry.
Lai Junchen still knelt on his couch, lifted the section high, slowly spread it out, and the corners of his mouth were torn apart.
Big smile.
Shi Wuzi's bones were soft and he collapsed to the ground.
