Xie Zongren stood abruptly, not daring to look back, waiting for Yun Xiu's decision. Watermark Ad Test Watermark Ad Test

Yun Xiu bit her lip, and after a moment of silence, she hesitated: "I can't fully comply with your request, but I can guarantee that Zhongyi Hou will not be held accountable after he comes out." Xie Zongren, you know the power of the Ling family in the Beijing circle, and you also know the power of the Ten Princesses, and the entanglement between the Gu Ling family ends here. “

Xie Zongren still stood still.

Yun Xiu walked around him, opened the door, turned around and said, "You haven't looked at the form of the court, and I believe you won't look away this time." “

At the end of the conversation, as long as Xie Zongren is not carried away by feelings, he is a smart person who knows the current affairs, and he will definitely not do stupid things that destroy his future.

Imperial study in the palace

Wang Fu, a member of the Imperial Palace, studied the ink carefully, and saw that Emperor Jingwen had finished approving the last word, and then said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Xie Fuma waited outside for half an hour, saying that he had something important to face in person. “

Emperor Jingwen raised his eyelids, "Xuan." “

Wang Fu immediately withdrew, and after a while, Xie Zongren came in after him, bowed down, and was allowed to sit.

Emperor Jingwen asked him: "What is the important matter of Xie Yuma who is in a hurry to see me?" “

Xie Zongren looked at Wang Fu, Wang Fu was very interested in finding an excuse to leave, and then he said: "Your Majesty, Weichen is at fault, and I hereby ask the emperor for his guilt." “

Emperor Jingwen turned his gaze indifferently. "What's wrong with the colt?"

Xie Zongren's beautiful words came easily: "At the time of the national crisis, Wechen does not focus on the overall situation, only wants to be selfish, but does not want the Ling family to ignore the past suspicions, and is dedicated to sharing worries for the emperor, voluntarily taking the lead and donating money and materials. “

Sure enough, the corners of Emperor Jingwen's mouth raised a shallow smile: "Zhongyi Hou is a loyal and brave general, the battle of Yangguan has won many achievements, and I am not a narrow-minded person, I will change my mistakes when I know it, and I am very relieved to wake up, and this matter will be handed over to the horse." And don't let the loyalty chill. “

In a few words, the emperor has all the face, the most important thing is that the military funds are tight, and the dignified 95 can not reach out to the courtiers to ask for money, someone has to set a precedent and make the first bird.

The Ling family was unlucky to hit the muzzle of the gun, and Emperor Jing Wen would make a calculation.

As for Xie Yuma, he picked up the matter, and he naturally carried the pot.

Competing with the mussels for the benefit of the fisherman, Wang Fu sent Xie Zongren away, came back and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the Ling family has an opinion at this time, and the spearhead must be aimed at Xie Yuma, and you can sleep peacefully." “

Emperor Jingwen squinted slightly. Benefiting from this sycophant, the superior has been doing it for a long time, and he has listened to more of the old ministers' outspoken admonitions, hindering his passionate ambitions, the more he likes to listen to the flattery of the whisker and the horse.

"At the beginning, they were not optimistic about the battle of Yangguan, how is it now?" Emperor Jingwen had a mockery in his eyes, "The three cities have been successfully recovered, who dares to argue with me in the court, shut up." “

Wang Fu said yes: "Your Majesty, the slave does not understand the previous dynasty, you are a Ming monarch, and there is no mistake or omission." “

Flattery is not true or false, only good-sounding, Emperor Jingwen hummed and asked him to serve tea.

At the same time, Xie Zongren personally went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to raise people.

The old marquis was picked up by Dingguo Gong, leaving Ling Xiao behind, and Xie Zongren planned to bear the guilt.

After the heavy rain, the weather became hotter and hotter, Ling Xiao stood outside the gate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, raised his hand to block his forehead, looked at the bright sky, and looked at Xie Zongren, smiling and thanking him.

"Master Hou, please stay," Xie Zongren was not a silent person, so he made a gesture of please, "Master Hou, I ordered a table of wine for Master Hou, and washed the dust for Master Hou to remove bad luck, so as not to bring it home." “

Ling Xiao didn't care, he just wanted to see what waves he rolled over, hesitated for a moment, and agreed.

The private room is quiet and a good place to talk about things.

Xie Zongren held up his sleeves, poured two glasses of wine, and said bluntly: "Master Hou, I have no intention of offending, but I will behead the horse and anger Her Royal Highness the princess, and you will be miserable in the pit." “

Ling Xiao sneered: "It's not too much to frame Ben Hou and kill you." “

Xie Zongren said calmly: "Master Hou is Junjie, if you want to kill early, why wait until now." The Hou Ye left me alive, waiting to go down to the emperor to show tears, play a harmony between the monarch and the minister, and invite merit by the way, inviting merit is a skill. “

It seems brazen and arrogant to invite credit, and it has to be relayed by a credible person, even if the emperor knows it and has done enough work on the face.

Ling Xiao smacked his wine and stared at the other party for a moment.

Xie Zongren smiled: "If it weren't for Mrs. Yun begging me, Master Hou's life and death have nothing to do with being below, and if you are not a gentleman with a clean breeze and high moderation, you will be rewarded for your efforts." “

Ling Xiao was not surprised, "What do you want in return?" “

Xie Zongren turned the wine cup and said unhurriedly: "First, I will persuade the Hou Ye to cancel the wedding banquet, and second, bring a message to Mrs. Yun, Xie will do what she says, and ask her to seriously consider my request." “

"Xie Yuma, Ben Hou can let you walk in alive, or let you lie down and carry you out," Ling Xiao's eyes were gloomy, and his face was solemn, "If you covet the women of the Hou Mansion, you can only die." “

"I have already put life and death out of the way," Xie Zongren chuckled out indifferently, "Lord Hou is added, Yanjing beauties are like clouds, what kind of woman can you find, but you can be born in Yunni, unlike Hou Ye, I just want to join hands as a wild crane and forget about the world." “

"The proposal is good," Ling Xiao said sarcastically, "Ben Hou also plans to take one of his people to the wild crane and forget about the world." “

Xie Zongren asked eagerly: "Do you have to be Yunxiu?" “

"She is Mrs. Houfu, don't accompany me, accompany you?" Ling Xiao glanced at him inexplicably, got up and left, and replied, "Master Ma, the tenth princess can't satisfy you, there are so many kilns in the city, you don't have to be shy." “

Xie Zongren was so angry that he smashed the wine cup and said loudly: "Could it be that Lord Hou is willing to give up a good future for a woman?" “

"Xie Yuma," Ling Xiao paused, didn't look back, his voice was low and angry, "Don't let me look down on you." “

"You guys in the Beijing circle are proud of themselves, who can afford it?" Xie Zongren said coldly, "What's more, Yun Xiu is a foreigner? With her temperament, she will never tell you that dystocia hurts her body and can't have children, so she is stupid to drink medicine to recuperate, coax you to be happy, and deceive your children and grandchildren. She worked so hard with you, but I didn't have to worry about it! “

Ling Xiao's footsteps stopped again, and he didn't look back for a moment to leave.

Xie Zongren made him more disgusting than eating flies.

??

At night, there was a cool breeze in the courtyard, and Yun Xiu and the nurse were holding a child and playing a fan. Putting the cubs to sleep.

Chunliu saw that Brother Fan's nest Yunxiu was asleep in his arms, and said softly: "Grandma, the little marquis is back, he went to the study in the front yard, and the slave has prepared the bath water, and there is supper, do you want to call someone over." “

"No need," Yun Xiu shook his head, "I may discuss with the old marquis, don't bother." “

Chunliu belched and retreated.

When Ling Xiao stepped into the courtyard, Yun Xiu and the nurse were carrying the child into the house, and he followed silently, waiting for Yun Xiu to turn around and find it, startled.

"I don't know how to say a word when I come in," she looked at him with disgust and cleaned up the toys thrown on the couch, "I'm going to pick you up today, the people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate said that you are gone, and it is hot, and I will come back." “

Ling Xiao still didn't say a word, took off his clothes and prepared to take a bath.

Yun Xiu prepared a clean gauze shirt and put it on the screen, and heard Ling Xiao suddenly say, "Come in." “

She thought he was going to rub his back, so she took a cloth towel and pancreas into it, and just got to the side of the bucket, she couldn't prevent being carried into the water, the willow green thin shirt was like mist, the breeze was in her arms, and her chest was undulating, which made her heart ripple.

Ling Xiao imprisoned her in his arms, kissed her seriously, and cautiously, for fear that if he was stronger, she would be broken.

Yun Xiu was afraid of waking up the child, so she pushed him away and whispered, "Is it okay to go to the back room, I'll change my clothes first." “

Ling Xiao let go of her.

Counting up, they have known each other for almost five years, Yun Xiu thought that he would fade, but Ling Xiao was still very enthusiastic, and he had a lot of skills tonight, as if he had opened her up to another world.

At the end, the two of them were sweating profusely, because the weather was hot and because they were really excited.

"It's a white bath," Yun Xiu grinned as he grabbed the thin quilt and wiped the sweat drops from his sideburns with his index finger. "Are you thirsty? I'll pour you water. “

"No, I'll do it." Ling Xiao grabbed her hand, kissed her, got up and brought two glasses of water, cleared his throat, and asked with concern, "Didn't hurt you, did you?" “

Yun Xiu shook his head and said with a smile that there was no.

"Xiuxiu," Ling Xiao put the cup down, dragged her over without being too hot, and hugged her, "Don't be bored with anything, carry it by yourself, cry behind your back, you are a hero for giving birth to two sons for the Ling family, even if you don't give birth, no one blames you." “

There was no beginning or end to these words, Yun Xiu heard the deep meaning, and she looked at him suspiciously: "Who did you see during the day?" “

Ling Xiao was silent.

Yun Xiu guessed accurately: "Xie Concubine?" “

Because she had told Xie Zongren that she couldn't have children, she didn't expect this person to be crazy and ran to tell Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao snorted, and replied.

"What else is he saying?" Yun Xiu lowered his eyes and explained honestly, "The second brother-in-law doesn't know my relationship with him, and asks me to go to Xie Zongren for help, don't be angry, I'll invite him to tea, don't have nothing, I didn't do anything sorry for you, I swear." “

"I'm not angry," Ling Xiao stroked her back. He said in a low voice, "If you donate money, I will make it up to you." “

"It didn't cost much dowry," Yun Xiu put his head on his shoulder, and suddenly said, "Let's change the day of the wedding banquet, the donation must cause many people to be dissatisfied, the homeless people have not solved the problem, people are panicking, and they have to pay for it again, this account must be counted on our heads, don't turn over any old accounts when the time comes." “

She was scared.

This time it's the Metropolitan Procuratorate, in case of Dali Temple, if you want to catch people, I'm afraid it's not so easy.

Ling Xiao closed his eyes, she thought he was asleep.

Yun Xiu thought about how this person was like this, she was still talking, so he fell asleep, pushed it, and leaned closer and said, "Talking to you, sleepy?" “

"I heard it," Ling Xiao's voice was clear, "Don't shake, I'm not sleeping." “

Yun Xiu was very happy, Brother Xuehuan rolled around like that, lay on his stomach and said, "If you don't express your position, I will acquiesce, the wedding banquet will be changed to another day, but fortunately, the invitation has not been sent." “

"You don't seem to be happy if you don't have a wedding banquet?" Ling Xiao glanced down at her.

Yun Xiu turned his head and smiled at him: "No, I'm afraid of becoming the target of everyone." “

This worry is a lesson from her previous life, when she was divorced back to her parents' house, and was laughed at by her aunts.

Another reason is also the lord of Pingkang, Yun Xiu doesn't want to listen to her mother-in-law's complaints, as long as Ansheng lives a life, it doesn't matter if she likes the banquet or not.

Ling Xiao stroked her hair, "I see that there is no girl in the circle who doesn't want to get married, it's good for you, just like the injured cat cub, you can't hide, it's useless to pull you." “

Yun Xiu still smiled at him, "It's enough for you to be nice to me." “

She hopes that this good is a beautiful dream for a lifetime and never wakes up.

However, the donation was said by her, the Ling family started, and then the Qin family, the Song family, the Cui family, the Xu family, the Qi family, who were good friends with the Ling family, and the good colleagues and subordinates of Dingguo Bus donated generously.

On the one hand, the generals took action, and the officials were unwilling to support the scene to make a show, and soon the whole Yanjing set off a wind of thrift, and the ladies in brocade clothes on weekdays almost cut two holes in their clothes, and cried poor with patches.

It's not enough to just eat, wear and be thrifty, extravagant fun has stopped, and the once bustling night market has now become depressed.

There was always a bold little lady who ran to the Hou Mansion to find Yun Xiu and complained, "I can't live this day!" The gilded hairpin custom-made by the future is not hot in the hand, it is placed in the jewelry box, it can only be seen and can not be used. This is good, it is a sin not to donate, and it is also a sin to donate less, it is better to open a warehouse and release grain! “

Anyway, it is clear to open a warehouse and release grain, everyone takes out the same rice, but the donations are private, some people donate more in order to invite merit in front of the emperor, and the later donations are less, and a comparison can not be followed by suffering.

Yun Xiu became a tree hole, one a day, all came to her to complain, she was dumb and ate coptis, and there were words of suffering.

Ling Xiao was irritated by the trivial matters of the ladies circle, and asked her to close the house and all the guests were gone.

Yun Xiu did so, and the group of resentful women ran to find Yun Ying again, Yun Ying took care of the backyard and a large family, how could she have the leisure to listen to complaints.

She found Yun Xiu and was so angry that she had a headache: "I listen to the drama and drink tea on weekdays, who is not happy if I miss it, but now I take out a few silver from my purse, as if I have dug up their hearts and livers. “

"Whoever wants to be wronged, you can't scold you to the palace," Yun Xiu poured her a cup of tea and comforted, "The Ling family started and became a bird, I didn't expect to affect the second sister you." “

"Qi Yuheng told me," Yun Ying protects her shortcomings, so as not to be angry with her sister, "The initiator is the Gu family and the princess's mansion, why don't they go to their mansion to make trouble?" Co-authored with us, we are good bullies? “

Yun Xiu smiled: "Second sister, those who dare to make trouble are all outspoken and fast-talking people from the hairpin family, if you want to say civil officials, there is really no, and if you don't see it, it doesn't mean that no one goes to the Gu family to complain, but what about complaining, it is difficult to resist the decree." “

"You'll be relieved." Yun Ying was angry when she thought about it, "But it's not a donation, some yang and yin are violated, and they make trouble on the surface, and they curry favor with the palace in private, and there are rumors that even Wang Fu in front of the emperor has received money, and whoever gives more will speak well in front of the emperor, which is ridiculous." “

"It's indispensable to send things in the palace," Yun Xiu persuaded her, "When the harem grandmother sends something, she can't prepare a plate of silver ingots, and the queen mother is like this, let alone the royal front?" Clear water and no fish, everything is the same. “

As he was talking, Chunliu reported outside the door that the little marquis was back.

Yun Ying was in a bad mood, even if the king of heaven Lao Tzu came, she didn't have a good face, so she got up and said goodbye to Yun Xiu, saying that she would leave, ignoring Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao glanced back at her, entered the room and said strangely, "What's the matter?" Who owes her twenty-five or eighty-thousand. “

Yun Xiu said a rough idea and sighed: "One stone stirs up a thousand waves, it is estimated that it will be fine after a while." “

"That's it?" Ling Xiao didn't say anything else, "Cheng, I have a way, you don't care." “

He didn't say it, Yun Xiu didn't ask in detail, but that night he wrote an eight-hundred-mile urgent letter and sent it to Yangguan Qin Ying, only five days before and after, and another letter was sent to the imperial study, Wang Fu nodded and held the bamboo tube with sealed wax in both hands, and trotted all the way up.

Emperor Jingwen opened it, looked at it carefully with an expressionless face, put it down again, put his index finger on the paper and tapped it a few times, and said to Wang Fu: "Thank you for the visit." “

Xie Zongren went in and out of the imperial study several times, making people mistakenly think that he was a celebrity in front of the palace, and the wind turned with him.

But this time when he went in, when he came out, the corners of his mouth sank, his face was expressionless, and the palace people knew how to read their faces best, and they all guessed that the horse master was either trained or deflated.

Then the rumors spread ten, ten, ten, hundreds. All civil and military officials knew that Xie Yuma, as an official of the Ministry of Industry, was sent to Yangguan to repair the city.

Most of the older officials are cautious in their words and deeds, and the young masters of the children of the family gather to save wine, and they inevitably talk about the court.

"A few horses in Yanjing, it seems that Xie is the hardest horse," the wine was almost drunk, and there were more words, "The Ministry of Industry is not no one, but sent him there, do you say that Shangfeng has an opinion on him?" “

"Don't be, maybe the master wants to show off his ability in front of the emperor, so he deliberately goes."

"Show off your ability, why can't you show off?" The third person said, "The snow stopped for two months in Yangguan, and two months ago Yanjing entered summer. There is a stove to be lit at night, and the charcoal basin can't withstand it, so you can find guilt and eat enough?! “

"Hey, it's cold, you have to take Han Cheng when you go out to pee, so as not to freeze your life."

As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed.

After laughing, someone said, "Could it be a donation?" “

"How?"

"It's impossible not to hear the rumors outside the palace, the emperor is unhappy and has to use people as a pawn," the man said, bumping his elbow against the drinking friend next to him, "Lord Ling, you bow your head and drink stuffy wine." It's really not like your style, hey, my brother has said it, and you also publish two sentences. “

Ling Xiao pretended to be confused: "You're all done, what do you want me to say?" “

The other party repeated the words: "Do you say this is the reason?" “

Ling Xiao didn't say yes or no, smacking his wine: "If you see through it or not, the holy will is unpredictable, the holy will is unpredictable." “

So no matter if the emperor really used people as a man, or pretended to take people as a man, all the resentment disappeared without a trace overnight.

??

Wang Fu slapped the fan slowly for Emperor Jingwen, and flattered him in his mouth: "The emperor is really wise, the slave sent someone to inquire yesterday, and no one in the city said that the donation was not good." “

Emperor Jingwen closed his eyes and said lightly: "What Zhongyi Hou thinks, I give him a fulfillment, he is sullen on Xie Yuma's head, and now that he is out, I can't blame me for being biased." “

"The emperor's trick kills two birds with one stone," Wang Fu stretched out his thumb, "The slave is breathtaking, the emperor is sage." “

When the news came out of the palace again, Gu Shilang thought deeply, and he was always a little uneasy.

"Quick, go find Cui Shangshu." After thinking about it at home, he asked the housekeeper to prepare the car and went to Cui's mansion.

Cui Shangshu was enjoying the cool in the backyard, and Gu Shilang suddenly came to visit, but he was very warmly welcomed.

Gu Shilang didn't care about drinking water, and said hurriedly: "Master Cui, Xie Juma suddenly went to Yangguan, I'm afraid that something bad will happen!" “

Cui Shangshu asked him not to worry, and said slowly: "Master Ma is angry for you, and he won't say that he will defect." “

Gu Shilang snorted coldly: "Xie Zongren, as far as my brother can see, is not a reliable trusting person. “

Cui Shangshu: "How can you see it?" “

Gu Shilang made Xie Zongren's idea, and then turned his head to save the Ling family, and said it in detail, "Brother Cui, what do you mean by him?" Good at both ends? “

"But he's a colt, and it's not wrong to be neutral." Cui Shangshu was silent for a long time, "And what is his intention in slapping the Ling family and giving a date?" It's worth scrutinizing. “

"Brother Cui, it's too late to deliberate, is my brother afraid??"

"Afraid of what?"

"Yangguan is now guarded by the Qin family, and the appearance of the commander of the Qin family is no different from you. But in private, the position of the Shangshu of the Military Department should have been the Qin family," Gu Shilang said, "Xie Zongren went to Yangguan to repair the city, and he must have contact with the Qin family, and the relationship between the Qin Ling family is good, what if this wolf ambition finds out that the benefits over there are greater, and helps the Qin Commander deal with you?" “

Cui Shangshu didn't care: "How can a little horse master become a big tool." “

"When he becomes a big weapon and wants to get rid of him, it will be difficult." Gu Shilang said, "I have checked the details of Xie Zongren, he was chased and killed by several uncles, and he was in danger all the way south, if he hadn't met the tenth princess, there would be no bones left to die early." The princess is still young, and she bewilders the boy's skin, otherwise how could the horse master fall on the head of a lost dog. “

"So, the right time and place and people have been met by him?" Cui Shangshu had to re-examine it, "The tenth princess is confused, and the empress dowager is not an old man, but since he nodded and agreed to marry the princess, it proves that Xie Zongren has two brushes." “

"I have the same idea as Brother Cui," Gu Shilang breathed a sigh of relief and thought of drinking tea, "Not to mention the Empress Dowager, when the clan was chasing and killing, he was a young man, a teenage hairy boy, and he experienced a catastrophe, and the rest of his life after the catastrophe, if you want to say that it is all luck, it is impossible." “

has been mixed in the officialdom for a long time, and a few things happen to be favored by God, most of them are artificial.

Cui Shangshu pondered for a moment and asked, "What method did my brother think of?" “

Gu Shilang was silent for a long time, and his voice sank suddenly: "Why don't we try him, if he can escape this catastrophe, we will try to win him over, if he can't escape, his fate should be like this." “

Seriously, the voice is low??

***

The weather in Yangguan is bad, just as Yanjing said, you have to make a fire at night, and you can't stand it at all.

Xie Zongren wore two cotton jackets and sat by the oil lamp while roasting the fire while reading the old drawings left behind.

In addition to the cold, the soldiers stationed here have no cold attitude towards him, he knows it well, most of them Ling Xiao has greeted Qin Ying, wearing small shoes Secondly, he is most worried about traveling thousands of miles, being killed in the tent without knowing it, and then reporting to the court with a work injury, he has followed the old path of Xie Supervisor.

Xie Zongren didn't want to die, and after thinking about it, a letter with an urgent letter of 100 miles was delivered to Yun Xiu.

He helped her, and she said that she would return the favor, and she would give it a try now.

When Yun Xiu received the letter, he was quite surprised, but after reading the letter, he was not so calm.

Taking advantage of Ling Xiao's lunch break when he returned to the house, she asked him, "Are you going to make a move on Xie Fuma and let him die outside?" “
