Chapter 357: Ice and Fire
"Sister Ling'er, you are too cunning, you are already so old, why do you need Brother Hong to help you? Grandma said: The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency if there is more than loss, Sister Ling'er, you have already had more than enough, and Yue'er is still very insufficient, so ......"
The old house is on fire, and the burning is called a fast, Xie Hong's pure heart and lack of desire since the crossing were broken once, and he quickly became vigorous, and he tossed the ice beauty a lot overnight, and he himself was happy and tired, so that he didn't wake up until the sky was bright. [Full text reading]
It was Yue'er who woke him up, the little girl pouted, and said reluctantly: "Qing'er, why didn't you say that Brother Hong was coming yesterday?" If Yue'er knew, she wouldn't let you try on new clothes from me. ”
"Hmm......" Qing'er couldn't lie, and she couldn't answer with a red face.
The little girl knew very well that last time Brother Hong helped herself and Yue'er massage for one night, the next day she was very tired, so when Yue'er pestered her last night, she went to Yue'er's room.
But why did Sister Ling'er appear here, this is not something that the little girl can know, Qing'er guessed, probably because she said that she would bring new clothes from Brother Hong, and Sister Ling'er would come over, right?
Just as Qing'er thought, Ling'er listened to Qing'er's words, and ran over in a hurry, but she didn't see Qing'er's people, so she thought about waiting and talking, and then leaned on the bed and fell asleep, and finally waited for Xie Hong, who was engaged in a night attack.
After she woke up, she was ashamed, last night Xie Hong asked for too much, so she only cared about begging for mercy, where do you remember that this is not her room? Afterwards, I fell asleep in a daze, and when I woke up, I saw two little girls, and I didn't even have time to avoid them.
The ice beauty pulled the quilt to cover her head, and couldn't say a word, just gently pushed Xie Hong under the quilt with her hand.
"Ahem, it's Qing'er and Yue'er? Brother didn't come to massage Sister Ling'er, I discussed the matter of clothing design with your sister Ling'er yesterday, and I discussed it until late, and then I fell asleep, how can I have time for a massage? You see, this package contains the clothes we made yesterday, so let's change them and try them out. ”
As long as the skin is thick enough, an excuse can be used many times, Xie Hong pointed to the package, and said without blushing and heartbeat. In fact, what he said was not a lie, the clothes in this package were originally prepared by him in advance, for the two little girls.
"Really?" The little girl was fast-talking, her mind was also fast, she heard that there were new clothes, but she immediately put the complaint behind her, she grabbed the package, and then pulled Qing'er and ran away quickly, the person had already moved to the back room, but the crisp voice was still lingering in the room, "Qing'er, come on, let's try new clothes, see if the drift is beautiful." ”
This is the beautiful life of the Ming Dynasty! With the warm fragrant nephrite in his arms, the sound in his ears, and the fashion show that he was about to see, Xie Hong took a long breath and sighed very much, although he didn't push the primary goal this time, it didn't matter, it was long, and there were many opportunities.
Xie Hong firmly believes that as long as you work hard, tomorrow will be better.
"Brother Xie, I'm going to get up...... Ling'er said timidly, this kind of look rarely appeared on her face, when Xie Hong turned his head to look, he saw that the ice beauty's ice muscle and jade bones were slightly red, like beautiful jade, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Uh-huh." Xie Hong stared at Ling'er intently, and subconsciously responded.
"Your hand ......" The red underneath the frost is even stronger.
"Oh!" Xie Hong suddenly, it turned out that his hand was still in a towering place unconsciously, he withdrew his hand, and said with a smile: "You know, people will be attracted by prominent places unconsciously, this is ......"
The second brother likes to be broad-minded, and it seems that there is some truth in it, well, the brother must have been infected by the second brother............ Xie Hong's good mood is based on the bad mood of many people.
Just when Xie Hong was enjoying all kinds of beauty, there was a group of people outside the Yongding Gate in the capital, everyone had Qi on their faces, and many people looked angry, and when they occasionally looked up and forgot about it, their eyes were also burning with anger.
"It's already halfway through noon, it's almost time......" The speaker said in a gloomy voice, and although he was asking, he didn't actually expect any answer at all.
"It's a pity that Brother Liangbi, before his ambition is realized, his soul has been broken under the knife of the villain, how can I be worthy of the same feelings!" Some people wept sadly, and the sadness quickly infected many people, and a low cry also sounded.
The sorrowful cry added a bit of desolation, if it corresponded to the bright spring in Xie Hong's room, it could really be described as two heavens of ice and fire.
The abnormality here quickly aroused the curiosity of passers-by, many people glanced at it, they were all surprised, although most of these people were wearing civilian clothes, you can see their extraordinaryness from their bearing, not to mention that they were surrounded by many people, and they had the tendency to hug each other, how could such a group of people show helplessness and sadness?
You know, they're all big shots!
"Pity Liu Dongshan, it's a pity for Gu Liangbi, if it weren't for the old man who sent the two of them to supervise the battle, maybe he might not have suffered this robbery, it was all the old man's thoughts!" Under the conservative blow, Liu Jian also lost his resolute bearing, and looked a little mother-in-law when he spoke, at least in Xie Qian's eyes.
Gu Zuo may have suffered from the disaster of the pond fish, but Liu Daxia is not, since Xie Hong entered Beijing, Lao Liu has been biting him, and he is also the first person to force the palace, with Xie Hong's annihilation of the eyes will be retributed, how can he let go of such an opponent?
What's more, Xie Hong focused the liquidation on Jiangnan Shiren, Min Gui, Shi Lin and others are now detained and on trial, looking at Xie Hong's methods to deal with Liu and Gu, it is obvious that they will not escape this catastrophe, even if they are lucky enough to save a life, I am afraid that their future will be ruined, if they can't be officials, do they have that life, is there a big difference?
Although only three days have passed since that court meeting, the craze set off by Xie Hong in the capital is in the ascendant, and everything that can be said can be made public. Even the notorious 'Koshien Playing Pair' among the scholars has now been put on the stage.
The two teenagers sang and harmonized, commented on the world's maladministration on stage, and talked about the means of change, and they kept saying that they were all for the country and the people, but they were also worthy? The emperor doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, and the courtiers are even more vicious, they can also know what it means to serve the country and the people? Xie Qian categorically did not believe it.
But now no one dares to stand up, and people like themselves have been deposed, who can do what?
Just in the early dynasty of the previous day, Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, expressed his opposition to Tang Bohu's appointment as the imperial historian, and as a result, as soon as the dynasty was dispersed, the Ma family had thousands of hectares of fertile land in Henan, and the news that most of them were forcibly seized spread all over the capital, and the major tea houses were preaching this commentary, and the so-called Ducha Lower Court immediately launched an impeachment.
Although there is not even a serious imperial history in the lower court, there are many people at the lower level there, and there is the emperor's support above, combined with the tide of public opinion among the people, Ma Wensheng immediately fell into a stormy situation.
In fact, the old horse is usually very low-key, even the carriage in and out is made of old goods, although Shilinzhong knows a lot about his family situation, but most of the ordinary people do not know, especially the people of the capital, in the capital Ma Shangshu is known for being honest.
The so-called blessing and misfortune are based on, and as soon as the current commentary led by Hou Defang is exposed, the clear name that Lao Ma has always been proud of has changed in a blink of an eye.
Clear-eyed people have already seen his situation clearly, and there are only two ways in front of Lao Ma, either to learn from Zhang Fuhua, to get acquainted with each other, or to get out of the way; Either he learned from Min Gui and died to the end, and was finally arrested by Jinyi Wei to enforce the law in a civilized manner, and then completely ruined.
The ruthlessness of his own family's methods and resolute actions really shocked Xie Qian, and he was also cold from his heart.
Today is the day when Xie Qian and Liu Jian left Beijing, and this day is more special, because this day is also the day when Liu and Gu were executed. Xie Qian knew very well that the reason why Liu Jian chose to leave on this day was also because he couldn't bear to see his colleagues end up in such a tragic end.
Just as Xie Qian couldn't bear to see Gu Zuo's head different, even if there were some differences between them, everyone was always an official in the same dynasty, and it was inevitable that they would feel hurt by things, and seeing each other end so miserably but unable to save each other, they felt helpless and bitter.
If it was in the past, there would not be so many people to send each other when the two left Beijing, and if they showed favor to the old Shousuke, in the eyes of the new Shoufu, they would inevitably leave some mustard for each other, and of course the wise man would not do such an unwise act.
But today is different, firstly, Li Dongyang himself came, and secondly, everyone who has some friendship with Liu and Gu has similar thoughts to Liu Jian, this kind of powerlessness that goes deep into the bone marrow, they have not experienced it for too long, and they only think about the farther away the execution ground, the better.
"Brother Xixian is also more sad, Dongshan is also benevolent, when he sweeps away the haze of the court, there will always be a day when he is wronged, when the time comes, Dongshan is under the nine springs, I think I will also look at it with a smile."
Li Dongyang and Liu Daxia have a good relationship in private, but the matter has come to this, but it can't be recovered, instead of feeling nostalgic for the deceased, it is better to plan countermeasures as soon as possible, now Xie Hong is sharpening his knives, and the courtiers naturally can't be slaughtered like pigs and sheep, they must always rise up to fight.
"The old man has instructed to go down, now is the autumn of critical survival, after the old man goes, everyone in the court will give up their prejudices, only you are the first to look forward, will not drag you back, you just have to let go and deal with it." Liu Jian was just depressed, his political wisdom did not decline, and he knew Li Dongyang's meaning when he heard the words, so he also entrusted him with his old ministry.
Under normal circumstances, the replacement of the old and new first assistants, most of the court will have to go through a competition before this can finally stabilize, but at this time, Li Dongyang is not in the mood, Liu Jian is even more happy that his own people can have a good end, so the two have this answer.
"Ziqiao ......" got Liu Jian's promise, and Li Dongyang turned to Xie Qian again.
"I will naturally take care of what I promised you, but, Li Xiya, you must not forget what you promised, if there is something discordant, you should not blame me for going back on my word." Xie Qian knew very well what Li Dongyang was going to say, so he broke off and directly interrupted Li Dongyang's words.
Xie Qian is not as open-minded as Liu Jian. Liu Jian has been the first assistant for several years, and although he is now dismissed, his reputation in Shilin has not decreased but increased. And Jiangnan Shilin, whom he himself took as his help, was greatly damaged, and it was far from being compensated for by the little reputation that Shilin obtained.
What's more, he has always regarded Li Dongyang as a competitor, but now the other party has ascended to the position of first assistant, but he himself has been demoted to a commoner, and his resurrection is even more far away, if it weren't for this, how could he ignore the overall situation and guide the Jiangnan scholars to attack the important ministers in the court?
Of course, his move was not purely a battle of will, Jiangnan Shiren was Xie Hong's key target, if other ministers in the DPRK and China were attracted by Xie Hong, and stood by or even fell into the well in the process, then the general trend would be gone.
Therefore, Xie Qian's seemingly impulsive behavior was actually a bit calculated, in order to show his strength and show that his family should not be humiliated. With Li Dongyang's political wisdom, he will not fail to see it, and he will naturally try to mend the relationship between the two sides, so Jiangnan Shilin can also make up for some of the losses a little.
As for his attitude towards Li Dongyang, it was purely the evil breath he was holding.
Li Dongyang nodded emphatically, and said in a deep voice: "Ziqiao, rest assured, the old man will not let the blood of his fellow Jiangnan Daoists flow in vain, and he will definitely give everyone an explanation." ”
"Alas, I hope that the saint will bless and not let the avenue sink, and it is better to go quickly in winter, and spring should come early!" Liu Jian saw that everything had been negotiated, and it was time to set off, so he looked at the slightly bleak scene in the autumn, and let out a long sigh, and he didn't know whether he was lamenting the change of the seasons, or the change of the current situation, or both.
"What Liu Ge said is very true, I hope so......" Everyone was also embarrassed when they heard this, and the atmosphere became more and more poignant.
