Chapter 267: How Rumors Came About

There was a lot of movement inside the small black room, and the people guarding outside were also very uneasy. Although the screams of Scholar Xie were loud, they could not cover up all the voices after all, and what worried them the most was the exclamations of Zhengde that came from time to time.

Later, Scholar Xie didn't scream, but he went from high-pitched to low, there was a gradual change process, there was a context to follow, and everyone sketched the scene at that time in their minds, and Scholar Xie didn't have the strength to scream.

But the emperor is different, his exclamation disappeared suddenly, and he was screaming at the beginning, but suddenly there was no sound, which made people scratch their heads, if not everyone was convinced that Xie Hong would not be able to murder Zhengde, and Zhengde also strictly ordered everyone not to enter, they would have rushed in uncontrollably.

In addition, after His Royal Highness Yongfu and Lord Xie went in, they didn't say anything at all, which is also very surprising. It's okay for Master Xie, this house was originally built by him, and he is naturally clear about the inner void, but His Royal Highness Yongfu is silent, this matter is a bit weird.

Now there are a lot more people waiting around the small black house, in addition to the entourage of Zhengde and Yongfu, as well as Qian Ning and other staff, there are many unrelated people who are there, and they are all attracted by the screams of Scholar Xie. After all, this is an imperial city, and the sudden movement like this really makes people can't calm down.

Although the rules of the imperial city are big, in such an extraordinary period, many people are still whispering to each other, and everyone is very curious about what happened inside.

Not to mention the unaware, even Qian Ning has experienced it once, and he is also confused about what happened inside, judging from the current process, except for the two surnamed Xie, the reactions of the other two people are not normal.

Therefore, everyone's eyes were focused on this strange building called the Little Black House, especially the gate, which attracted most people's attention, after all, from the outside, this building only had this portal.

"Babbling ......" At this moment, there was finally movement in the little black room, it was the sound of the door opening! However, to everyone's surprise, the place where the sound came from was not the main entrance, and when everyone hurriedly searched for it, they were stunned to find that it was a small door on the side of the small black house, and someone was coming out of it.

"It's Hooray!" Gu Dayong and the others were all ecstatic and hurriedly greeted them.

"Long live Lord, are you okay, what you are holding is ...... Scholar Xie? When they got closer, everyone found that something was wrong, only to see Zhengde half-dragging and half-hugging in his hand, and with a person, to take a closer look, Pu Zishang is a crane, wearing a black veil, not Xie Daxue, which else?

Gu Dayong and others have known it for a long time, but the people who came after it didn't know. However, at this moment, everyone looked at Xie Qian dumbfounded, because the image of Scholar Xie was really a bit ...... I saw that the old man's eyes were scattered, his face was pale, his clothes were disheveled, his sideburns were messy, and his face was full of old tears...... Thinking of the hoarse screams of Scholar Xie just now, not to mention those who came later, even Gu Dayong and the others were beating drums in their hearts, don't the emperor really put Scholar Xie ...... What's that, right?

It is said that it will not, although the emperor is not very interested in women, but most of them are because he is young and playful, and he hasn't taken care of it, so he shouldn't really like that bite...... However, thinking of some rumors of the legends of the foreign dynasty, everyone is not sure, there are many people in the foreign dynasty who are rumoring that the relationship between the emperor and Lord Xie is that kind of relationship. However, even if the emperor really has that kind of preference, the emperor's aesthetic standards should be seen from Lord Xie, although they are both surnamed Xie, but the difference between the two people's appearance is really a bit big.

"What are you doing in a daze? Can't help yet? Scholar Xie is really heavy, he can crush a person to death, he is really tired. "Zhengde is really tired, halfway through, Xie Qian's legs and feet are already weak, and in the end, he is completely paralyzed on the ground, causing Zhengde to not only look around in the second half, but also to hold an old man in his hands, can he not be tired?

Really heavy? Crushed? The people who were taking over Xie Qian were all stunned, and Gu Da slowed down with his hand and almost dropped Xie Qian to the ground.

"Your Majesty...... This kind of crooked path is not the work of the Holy Monarch...... Heaven is clear! Old minister, old minister......"

It was easy to see the sky again, Xie Qian also relieved himself a little, remembering the thrill in the small black room just now, the old man was very angry, and he barely cheered up, thinking about admonishing again. However, after all, he was overly frightened and unable to do anything, and he couldn't go on after only a few words, but two lines of turbid tears flowed out of the corners of his eyes, which was very unwilling.

Sizzle! Gu Dayong and other close attendants, or the audience, when they heard this, they all gasped, crooked ways, and Xie Daxue was unwilling...... Scholar Xie was really tossed miserably by the emperor! Come to think of it, Xie University is almost sixty years old, where can he deal with the vigorous Long Live Lord?

"Dayong, arrange a few people to send Scholar Xie back to his home, Scholar Xie, you have to take care of it, I am waiting for you to come back here in Xiyuan."

In the court, if you talk about who Zhengde has the most resentment about, it really has to be Xie Qian. Most of the courtiers, such as Han Wen and the like, most of them just voted against Zhengde's opinion, and as long as Zhengde did not raise his opinion, these people were still relatively quiet.

But Xie Qian is different, his status is high, his eloquence is good, he holds Zhengde all day long, if he doesn't talk in Zhengde's ear for an hour or two one day, he will feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, Zhengde hated and feared Xie Qian. When he was in Xuanfu, he heard that Xie Qian was coming to greet the holy driver, and he even made up the idea of continuing to escape, which shows his feelings for Xie Qian.

What's more, Xie Qian's entanglement has been tighter than in the past for a while; Today, he pretended to be sick and didn't go to court, and then gave Zhengde a waiter, with Zhengde's grudge surname, how could the resentment be small?

Now seeing Xie Qian's dying appearance, Zhengde has no pity in his heart, and his heart is full of joy. But isn't it, looking at Xie Qian's appearance, he shouldn't be able to get up for a while, and when he gets up, Xiyuan should be almost built here, and he will dare to come here to block me when the time comes?

That's why he just said this, most of them are gloating, and the little half is not without provocation: Xiyuan is terrible here, if you dare to come, I will dare to clean you up!

Others didn't know Zhengde's thoughts, and when they heard the words, they were amazed in their hearts, what was it...... The emperor is really ruthless, Scholar Xie is so old, he refuses to let go, and says that he will wait for others to come again? Looking at Scholar Xie's appearance now, is it strange that he still dares to come?

Regardless of what thoughts turned in his heart, since the emperor had ordered, Gu Dayong did not dare to slack off, he hurriedly beckoned a few sturdy eunuchs, and asked people to carry a soft public opinion and carry Xie Qian up.

"Your Majesty...... The old minister ...... "The majesty was swept away, and he was ridiculed and provoked by Zhengde, Xie Qian was naturally unwilling, before being carried to the soft public opinion, the old man struggled again, but in the end he still failed to regain his heroic posture in the past."

Of course, after such a fright, if he hadn't been in good health, and there were no hidden diseases such as heart disease, it was unknown that he might have died inside, how could he have any strength?

You know, even if it is a ghost house in later generations, it will generally not allow people who are too old or in poor health to enter, let alone in the Ming Dynasty? It's Xie Hong's craft that is proportional to the evil eye's elaborate ghost house, and the things inside are called an image, and that is called a realistic ...... Xie Qian, full of resentment and unwillingness, was carried away with his face, leaving behind a sigh from everyone.

Of course, as the winner of the expedition, Zhu Houzhao was elated, he turned his head to look around, but he didn't see Xie Hong, so he asked, "Where is the eldest brother?" ”

Gu Da pointed to the small black room and replied, "Master Xie also went in, and there are ...... with him."

"So? By the way, I still have something to discuss with my eldest brother, so I'll go in and find him, and you can wait outside. Zhengde only listened to half a sentence, then patted his head, as if he remembered something, and then turned around, and rushed into the small black room again.

"Long live the lord, His Royal Highness Yongfu is also inside......" Gu Da couldn't call it, and he could only call in vain.

Zhengde's so-called if he has something to discuss with Xie Hong, no one here will believe it, with the surname of Long Live Lord, eighty percent of them didn't have enough fun just now, so they want to play again, right? Who doesn't know?

I heard that Master Xie has designed a lot of tricks for the Qinglou, and everyone who has been there is a big fascination, so it won't be similar in this little black house, right? Well, of course, it may be a little different............ Xie Qian's carriages and horses were all outside the Chengtian Gate, so when he left the palace, he took the usual path to enter and exit the palace. When the soft Yu turned to Jingyang Road, Xie Qian had already relieved himself, although his body was still soft, but his mood finally calmed down.

But the house leak happened to be raining, and at this moment, two people were bumped into head-on, and when they saw Xie Qian from a distance, both of them exclaimed: "Yu Qiao, you are ......"

It's not that Liu Jian is not calm, it's just that this scene is too terrifying, Xie Qian obviously told the two of them that he would not go to the court, but go directly to the Qianqing Palace to wait, and then let himself and Li Dongyang follow up and use the wheel warfare method. It's a good idea, it's risk-free, and it's very feasible.

But what's going on now? Xie Qian was disheveled, and he was carried out with his sideburns? Okay, Scholar Liu was too shocked, and he used the wrong word, but only by using this word can he best describe the current Xie Qianye...... Li Dongyang was also surprised, no matter how delicate his mind was, he couldn't imagine what was going on. Looking at Xie Qian's dying appearance, it seems that he has been abused, but no matter how ridiculous the emperor is, it is impossible to be rude to the scholars?

If that's really the case, things are easier to say, even the ministers are beaten, that is, a complete faint king, and after the foreign court hears the news, it must be all in one mind. Joke, the cabinet minister is the highest representative of the civil minister, if you can also say that you can fight, then what kind of official should you be, what kind of official will you be?

"It's nothing, it's nothing...... Xie Qian covered his face and said: "It's just that when I was admonishing the Son of Heaven, my heart was excited, so it led to the attack of the old disease, so I ......"

The scholar was paralyzed by the ghost, this matter was too embarrassing, of course Xie Qian couldn't say it calmly, although he also knew that the truth couldn't be hidden for long, but after all, it was a while. What's more, I can't say this in front of two colleagues? Isn't it possible to cry and let the two of them avenge themselves?

Besides, Xie Qian is still a little cautious, he has already lost face and cannot be recovered, but Liu and Li have not experienced it. If you don't say it yourself, maybe these two will collide once, so don't you have a partner?

said that Liu and Li would not be frightened, Xie Qian didn't believe it, no matter how it was done, whether it was fake or not, but if anyone who didn't know the truth, he would definitely be scared very badly when he went in, and he was the best proof of it.

“…… The two elder brothers, the younger brother was unwell, so he retired first. There are two of them, and the younger brother is also relieved to advise the Son of Heaven. Xie Qian briefly explained a few words, and then hurriedly ordered the few eunuchs who carried the sedan chair to leave quickly, while the matter did not spread, he wanted to go home quickly to close the door and call the illness, so as to avoid the limelight, not to mention, he was soft, and he was really sad.

“…… Yu Qiao, but it doesn't hurt to go, you don't have to worry about state affairs, and you can take care of Fang Yes. Liu Jian looked suspicious, and Li Dongyang also frowned, although he didn't know what was going on, but according to the experience of the two, it must not be a good thing.

"Brother Xixian, Yu Qiao seems to be very sick, the younger brother is going to visit one or two, if there is something to do, it is good to have a response, please leave the affairs in the palace to you." Li Dongyang reacted quickly, and immediately raised the banner of visiting patients, Li Gongmou's name is not in vain, Zhengde's side is obviously not a good road, and it is strong when he is in trouble, and it is not the style of Li Daxue to face him head-on.

"The cabinet is the center of the world, since the two of you go, Wenyuan Pavilion can't be unattended, so the old man will return to Wenyuan Pavilion first, and it is the best policy to wait for the news." They are all cabinet ministers, no one is more stupid than others, what Liu Gongju said is that Liu Jian is decisive, not that he is a dumbfounder, Li Dongyang does not dare to take risks, of course Liu Jian has to take steps forward.

As a result, the two ministers betrayed the trust of their colleagues, one said that they were going to visit the sick, the other said that they were going to be on duty, and the two also parted ways, and both went in the opposite direction to the Qianqing Palace.

The caution of these two people allowed them to avoid a catastrophe, but Xie Qian's bad luck continued.

At this time, a long time has passed since the dispersion of the dynasty, and Xie Qian thinks that there should be no one in the palace, and when he leaves Chengtianmen, he can get in the car and go home immediately. But who would have thought that just after the end gate, he raised his eyes suddenly, only to see a bustling crowd of people outside, all of them were crowned robes and belts, and they were all ministers of the court.

"Scholar Xie is out, is it...... Scholar Xie? With good eyes, he recognized Xie Qian at a glance, but then he couldn't believe his eyes.

"Scholar Xie, are you alright?" Seeing Xie Qian's scene, the acquaintances naturally hurriedly greeted him.

"Could it be that the emperor ...... you" Unlike those eunuchs and palace maids, the scholars and doctors in the court are all very upright, and some stupid people think that the emperor is rude, otherwise can Xie Daxue be like this?

"It's okay, it's okay, the old man is just an old illness...... Xie Qian hid his face again, and all he said was that he told the eunuch who carried the sedan chair to leave quickly, looking like he didn't dare to see people.

"Could it be ......" Everyone looked at each other, and then doubts gradually rose in their hearts, and many people's thoughts began to be crooked.

In fact, if it weren't for the news from the outside court, how Xie Hong and Zhengde were, the news of being favored would have been in the first place, and the eunuchs and maids in the palace would not have thought so evilly.

At this time, seeing Xie Qian's appearance of being ashamed to open his mouth and ashamed to see people, everyone no longer suspected that Zhengde was rude. You know, it's a good thing to be beaten with a court cane, and it is an experience that can make your name in history and be upright!

If Scholar Xie was beaten, he would definitely say a few words in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner, and then everyone would be excited, and then go up and petition, so that it would be logical to force the palace or something, and it was impossible for him not to say it.

Looking at the current situation, it is difficult to say what is happening in the palace, after all, it is difficult to guess the behavior of the emperor today, even if it is what happened to Scholar Xie, it is not impossible.

Thus, the rumor was born......
