Chapter 455: Visit Xiao Yu
"At this time, shouldn't you be in the East Palace to accompany His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Wei Lingfu opened his eyes and asked. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I'm also very surprised about this, for some reason today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't summon me, but asked someone to come out and spread the word that I was not available, so let me go back to Taichang Temple first." Said Satisfaction.
"Impossible, could it be that my spell is not working?" Wei Lingfu muttered to himself.
"Chief Wei, what should we do now?" Satisfactory asked.
Wei Lingfu didn't answer satisfactorily, and asked rhetorically, "What is the situation in the East Palace now?" ”
After thinking for a while, he responded: "There have been rumors in the East Palace in private, all about the prince and me being alone, once or twice I can still talk about the past, there are too many times, it is estimated that the prince's reputation is about to stink." ”
Hearing this, Wei Lingfu showed a smile on his face: "Very well done, this matter must be done secretly, now that there are rumors, this means that we have succeeded halfway, and the rest is to let the rumors ferment, and then spread all over the palace, satisfied, the East Palace still needs you to go over often, not only to provoke rumors, but also to pay attention to the prince's every move, hum, who would have thought that the root of this rumor is actually the person involved in the rumor." Wei Lingfu smiled grimly.
"But, Daoist Wei, in the end, if rumors spread and His Majesty knows about it, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to save our lives." His face was full of worry, he was still young and didn't want to die like this.
Wei Lingfu glared at him and said in a deep voice, "You think I want to die? Think about the means of the person in the palace, the left and right are dead, take this road, maybe in the end you can survive with the prince, nine deaths, but there is still hope of survival, isn't it? ”
He was stunned by Wei Lingfu's glare, and then nodded tremblingly.
Naturally, outsiders will not know about the conversation between the two in the Dan room, but in the palace, Jin Yang is sympathetic to the sudden appearance of the happy boy, since it is related to the reputation of her eldest brother Li Chengqian, she has to be cautious.
Similarly, what happened in the palace is unknown to Xuan Shijing outside, and now Xuan Shijing is taking Qin Bingyue to Xiao Yu's mansion to pay a visit.
When I arrived at the door of Xiao Yu's mansion, there were people from Xiao Mansion waiting at the door of the mansion early, since Xuan Shijing handed over the worship post, the Xiao family would naturally arrange it properly, Xiao Yu is a typical Confucian figure, in terms of etiquette, will not let the people below make a little mistake, if Xuan Shijing's seniority is enough, it is not a problem for Xiao Yu to wait at the door in person early in the morning.
"Xuanhou, please come here." The subordinates at the gate of Xiao Mansion saw Xuan Shijing and Qin Bingyue dismounting, greeted them, held the reins for the two, and then handed the reins to the porter who came out.
Xuan Shijing nodded and motioned for this person to lead the way.
Passing through the front yard, Xuan Shijing and Qin Bingyue arrived at the front hall under the guidance of the Xiao Mansion's subordinates, and Xiao Yu was already sitting on the main seat of the front hall waiting for the arrival of the two.
Entering the front hall, Xuan Shijing took a few steps forward and bowed to Xiao Yu.
"Junior Xuan Shijing, I've seen Lord Xiao."
Xiao Yu looked at the young junior in front of him and nodded with great satisfaction: "Xuanhou doesn't need to be polite, please sit down." While speaking, Xiao Yu glanced at Qin Bingyue who was standing behind Xuan Shijing, and just nodded at her slightly, and that's it.
Qin Bingyue's fame, Xiao Yu naturally knows, although he is curious, but Xiao Yu's good upbringing still makes him not curious about gossip and other things.
Xuan Shijing sat cross-legged in front of the table on one side, while Qin Bingyue knelt quietly behind Xuan Shijing.
Xiao Yu is a very traditional person, although the Hu stool is popular in Chang'an at the moment, but the hall of Xiao Yu's house is still a table and a soft couch for kneeling on it, and the layout of the whole hall is also very charming.
"Except in the court, in private, the old man is still seeing Xuanhou for the first time, and now when he sees him face to face, Xuanhou is really a hero and a young man." Xiao Yu praised with a smile on her face.
Putting aside the polite component, Xiao Yu really admires Xuan Shijing very much, and there are few people who have such achievements at Xuan Shijing's age, and there are few in the entire Tang Dynasty, so Xiao Yu still likes a self-motivated junior like Xuan Shijing very much.
"It's the juniors, it's not the juniors, I should have come to visit Lord Xiao a long time ago, but I was entangled in mundane things, and I haven't been empty, to be honest, the juniors came to Lord Xiao's house today, and it was also for a business matter." Xuan Shijing said bluntly.
Xiao Yu laughed, stroked his beard and said: "The old man knows what Xuanhou is doing, if the old man is not mistaken, it is for the Chunyu cheating case." ”
Xuan Shijing nodded: "Exactly, this case, the juniors want to hear Lord Xiao's opinion." ”
Xiao Yu, who was sitting at the top, put his hand on the table in front of him, sighed and said: "According to the old man, this case is a non-existent thing, and the excerpt of the upper performance only writes about this matter, and there is not even a definite evidence, so he came to frame these Jinshi candidates, whose intentions are sinister, and they should be punished!" ”
Xiao Yu's temperament is like this, straight to the point, there is such a thing under his nose, the candidate was framed, Xiao Yu was also indignant in his heart, he hoped that Xuan Shijing would take over the investigation of this case, so that the truth could be revealed, and those Jinshi candidates would be given justice.
"Lord Xiao, forgive the juniors for having a word, how can Lord Xiao be sure that there is no evidence on this fold, and this case is nothing?" Xuan Shijing asked: "Actually, the juniors have also analyzed and investigated in the past two days, you see, is there such a possibility, that is, before the Spring Exam, this exam question has been leaked out, and today the juniors came to visit Lord Xiao, in fact, I just want to ask, when the Spring Festival, Lord Xiao and the officials walked closer, did you find any abnormalities in the officials?" ”
Hearing Xuan Shijing's words, Xiao Yu's face also became solemn, the possibility that Xuan Shijing said was not impossible, carefully recalling the scene of dealing with officials in the Spring Festival, but he didn't recall anything abnormal, so he could only shake his head and say: "This old man really didn't find anything abnormal, but if it was really because of the leakage of the exam questions, then it was even more worth studying." ”
Xuan Shijing nodded: "Yes, although it is speculation, but even if it is an investigation, there must be a breakthrough, so today's juniors rashly disturbed Lord Xiao." ”
Xiao Yu waved his hand and responded: "It's okay, in this case, if Xuanhou has a place to get the old man, the old man is naturally obliged, after all, the invigilator of this Spring Festival is the old man." ”
