Chapter 125
In the midsummer season of June, the people in Chang'an City who were boiling because of the worship of the Buddha's bone relics slowly lowered their fanatical mood because of the high summer heat.
The people in the Daming Palace were mostly panicked at this time, and the root of this fear was because the emperor's holy body was not safe, and the Buddha's relics were unreliable in the end, neither bless the emperor Li Luo, nor could they bring him the holy longevity and eternal spring.
The people of Daming Palace know that once the emperor succeeds to the throne, it is often the beginning of the Great Purge.
In order to ensure that their lives are saved in the upcoming turbulent season, the only thought of the people in the Daming Palace at this time is to quickly find a backer, so the threshold of the lieutenants of the left and right armies of the Shence Army is about to be broken.
The mansion of Ximen Ji Xuan of Liquanfang refused all visits today, just because the Ximen family had more important things to do.
The houses of the Simon family were all handed down from their ancestors and belonged to the ancestral house. There are many people living in the big courtyard of Qijin, and although the eunuchs can't have children, there are still a lot of adopted sons.
The Simon family is different from other eunuch families, and the eunuchs who are basically not married or have a low position basically live in the big mansion of the Simon family.
Now that some people of the Ximen family have gathered together, Ximen Ji Xuan sits in the first place, and he is now the only remaining elder of the Ximen family.
Ximen Kuangfan and Ximen Jun, who sat at the bottom, sat on both sides, and now the three fathers and sons of the Ximen family are the most noble. Most of the other Simon juniors sat down or stood aside. There were no less than 40 people standing in the hall, and it could be seen that the Ximen family was very prosperous!
Ximen Kuangfan is in his early Chinese New Year's Eve, with a white face and a kind face. He used to supervise the army in other towns, and there were many turmoil in Beijing, and Ximen Ji Xuan was old, so he was transferred back in case of accidents.
If the Ximen family wants to pass on, the next generation must be arranged to take over, who will be the head of the family, in the past, Ximen Ji Xuan was very vacillating, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while, but the current situation does not allow him to delay any longer.
Ximen Ji Xuan looked at the many disciples and grandchildren in the hall, their eunuchs could not have their own children, so most of the righteous sons he recognized were shrewd and clever.
Ximen Kuangfan is older, and has the qualifications of supervising the army in other towns, which is much stronger than Ximen Junsui in this regard, and now there are treacherous things in the Daming Palace, and it is necessary to find a person who can be suppressed as the head of the family.
So today is to announce the selection of the head of the family, and in addition, to give the new head of the family a chance to show his prestige.
Ximen Kuangfan and Ximen Jun already knew today's result, and Ximen Kuangfan had a smile on his face, and Ximen Jun's face was full of gloom.
Ximen Ji Xuan said slowly: "Now that our family is old, I'm afraid we won't live long, the country can't be without a king for a day, and the family can't be without an owner for a day. ”
Everyone claimed that the promise was, Ximen Jun was very angry in his heart, but he was also helpless, after all, he had always been in Beijing, and he had never been outside to practice, and his envoy to the north of the Xuanhui Academy was also picked up by speculation.
But knowing that he is not qualified enough and not being allowed to do it are two different things, although Ximen Kuangfan has been practicing outside for many years, he also has no qualifications that can be used, which is not worse than Yang Fuguang of the Yang family.
But since Ximen Ji Xuan had decided to hand over the Ximen family to Ximen Kuangfan, he could only accept it. After all, the Ximen family is also a veteran eunuch family that has experienced ups and downs, although it is not as good as the Yang family, but it is not much worse.
But now that the Yang family has been destroyed in the hands of the six princes in the palace, the remaining Yang Fuguang is also lonely.
The Ximen family's future achievements will not be worse than the Yang family, but it is a pity that he cannot be the head of the family.
Ximen Ji Xuan continued: "Now only Liulang and Seventeen Lang in the clan can be regarded as of great use, our family has been together for a long time, and Liulang is recognized as the head of the Ximen clan." Seventeen Lang will definitely assist Liulang well in the future, and only your brothers can work together to ensure that my Ximen family will continue to inherit and become rich and rich. ”
Ximen Kuangfan and Ximen Jun then stood up and responded in unison: "Yes, follow the teachings of the adults!" ”
Ximen Ji Xuan said to Ximen Kuangfan: "You must be cautious in the future, and you must also pay attention to the movements of the six princes in the palace, this son is very smart and kind to the hearts of the people, you must be careful not to follow in the footsteps of the Yang family!" ”
Ximen Kuangfan hurriedly bowed his head and said yes, it was not true in his heart, as long as our family has the Shence Army in hand, are we afraid that he will be a prince What kind of waves can he make?
Ximen Ji Xuan looked at Ximen Kuangfan who bowed his head, and he didn't know what this righteous son was thinking, but now that he has decided to hand over power, he doesn't need to think about it, the so-called "children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren", and let him go.
After the old master said these things, it was time to give the new head of the family a chance to perform. So Simon Kuangfan shouted outside the door, "Bring those two shameless adulterers and adulteresses." ”
Immediately, several family members walked in from the door outside the lobby, pushing and shoving a pair of men and women, both of whom were not very old, the woman was extremely gorgeous, and the man was dressed as a domestic servant.
When the two came to the front of the hall, the family pressed the two and made them kneel on the ground, the man was very obedient, but the woman was full of resistance, but He Jiading had to kick her twice at the knee socket before letting her give in.
Ximen Kuangfan said to everyone: "This adulteress, married into our Ximen family, but did not abide by the woman's way and hooked up with Hu Bao, the horse servant at home, and corrupted the style of my Ximen family. ”
The woman listened to Ximen Kuangfan's accusation, and immediately put her mouth on the ground, and raised her head to the people in the hall: "Ahh forced the parents of the concubine to marry the concubine by force, and the concubine entered your house, and she didn't want to live. But before the concubine dies, you must bring a big green hat to your Simon family. Let the world laugh at you fake men, haha......"
The woman's words were like a big slap in the face of all the eunuchs of the Ximen family, and Ximen Kuangfan didn't expect to encounter such an embarrassing scene today, so he said angrily: "Pull down this adulteress and adulterer, and beat them to death with a certain stick!" Twenty-six Lang will go to her mother's house tomorrow and beat her whole family to death. Do you hear that? ”
The twenty-six lang mentioned by Ximen Kuangfan is his righteous son, named Ximen Ling, who is only twenty years old this year, and that woman is his wife.
Hearing the father-in-law's command, the woman immediately nodded her head and promised, and the woman heard the conversation between the father and son, and her heart was also resentful, and when she was dragged away, she was still crying and scolding. The servant begged for mercy, but no one cared about him.
Everyone in the Simon family felt that they were a big eunuch family, and they were actually bullied by a woman like this, but they couldn't refute it by themselves, so they could only rely on violence to sulk, which was really embarrassing.
……………………………………………………………………
When Li Bao heard the lace news of the Ximen family, he just laughed at it, after all, this kind of thing is not news, and it is strange that the eunuch's wife does not cheat.
However, he didn't have the heart to pay attention to these trivial things, and now that Li Yi's condition is getting worse day by day, he is even more worried about this matter. In case Li Yi dies, what Ximen Ji Xuan, who holds the military power, will do with Han Wen on a date is what he is most concerned about.
Therefore, Li Bao has been working hard to find out the news of the two families, and the lace news of the Ximen family was also learned, and the Ximen family has changed to a new owner, which means that Ximen Ji Xuan's retirement will not be delayed for too long.
What is this Ximen Kuangfan, Li Bao is not easy to guess, he can only take one step at a time, and the uncertainty of the future makes Li Bao very annoyed, but the current situation is really anxious.
Wang Zhanyuan of the Imperial Medical Department has always been in contact with Li Bao, and Emperor Li Luo's illness has really reached the moment of terminal illness.
At this time, it is usually the time when the eunuch leaders are most anxious, and the ministers of the foreign dynasty have no news of the Daming Palace. Wei Baoheng is also very anxious, and has been sending people to Li Bao to inquire about the news in the past few days.
In addition, Wei Baoheng still hopes that Li Bao will seize the opportunity and change his mind. Li Bao was not sensitive to this proposal, as long as he agreed at this time, as soon as Li Luo died, the sergeant of the Shence Army would come to the Sixteen Kings' Mansion as soon as possible and arrest him.
The rumors spread some time ago, Li Bao already knew that Liu Xingshen and his son did it. Li Bao specially sent a message to Ximen Ji Xuan and Han Wenyue through Tian Xianxuan, explaining that he had no intention of being the prince, and a crisis could be solved.
Of course, Liu Xingshen didn't get a good report, some time ago, Liu Xingshen died of heart palpitations that night, Liu Jixin has now been imprisoned for corruption, and died of plague a few days ago.
Liu Jishu surrendered to Li Bao early, so Li Bao left him alive to see the after-effects. The Liu family fell apart in this way, Liu Jishu became the new helmsman of the Liu family, and Li Bao decided to keep him as a puppet.
After all, the current Daming Palace's Zhongtian Xianxuan and Wu Yipin's forces are still too weak to compete with the Ximen family and the Han family, so Li Bao must have some more chips, and it is still a little useful when it is critical.
Although Yang Fuguang returned to Beijing, he neither contacted the Liu family nor formed an alliance with that family, and always maintained his independence, which made Li Bao very puzzled.
Faced with the complicated situation in Chang'an City, Li Bao couldn't sleep, coupled with the summer heat, it made him even more haggard, and Ling'er and Hu Sanbao and others who watched it were anxious. But they can't help Li Bao much, they just hope that God can bless Lang Jun, auspicious people!
Just when Li Bao was restless, Chang'an City, which had been dry for a long time, finally had a long-lost rainstorm, which brought a trace of coolness to Chang'an City and Daming Palace.
