Chapter 32: Find Your Own Matchmaker
Since Emperor Wanli personally inquired, the General Administration Department naturally should not be lazy, and immediately sent Ye Mengxiong's recital to the Master of Ceremonies.
Wanli got Ye Mengxiong's recital and read it carefully, Ye Mengxiong wrote in detail what Ye Xiaotian did and the impact he assessed would have on it, and he suggested that the emperor might as well raise it high and put it down gently, because Ye Xiaotian has an irreplaceable and important role in the southwest of the imperial court.
However, Emperor Wanli had already regarded Ye Xiaotian as the biggest obstacle for him to get Xia Yingying, and now that he had the opportunity to punish him, how could he excuse him? After passing through the southwest, of course Wanli cares, but he is conceited and wise, and believes that if there is one less Ye Xiaotian, the southwest will still be in his bag, so he naturally doesn't want to let Ye Xiaotian go for this.
Wanli looked at Ye Mengxiong's secret, just smiled faintly, and instructed Sandezi: "The dynasty will end tomorrow morning, and leave the cabinet and the three law divisions." ”
The next morning, the dynasty was over, and Sandezi left behind the cabinet elders and the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple, and the Criminal Department. Wanli commanded with a sinking face: "Sandezi, read Governor Ye's recital to the Zhongqing." ”
Sandezi unfolded Ye Mengxiong's recital, and read it loudly, just after reading Ye Xiaotian's grievances with the Zhang family, the Yang family, the Zhan family and the Cao family, before he could read Ye Mengxiong's analysis and judgment, Emperor Wanli slapped the imperial case heavily, and shouted in a deep voice: "Be bold!" Zhongqing thinks, what crime should Ye Xiaotian be guilty of? ”
When Wang Ji, the Qing of Dali Temple, saw that the emperor was furious, he immediately replied: "The minister thinks that even though it is Zhang, Yang, Cao, and Zhan who provoked first. Ye Xiaotian's unauthorized use of lynching is also a lawless law, and he should be punished. The old practice may be followed. Demote his official position to serve the police! ”
Emperor Wanli snorted heavily, then turned to Ye Lubo, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and asked, "What does Ye Qing think?" ”
As soon as Ye Lubo looked at the emperor's face, he understood that Wang Ji's answer was not satisfactory to the emperor, and immediately replied: "The minister thinks that he should be completely removed from the position of hereditary native official." Depose the people! ”
Emperor Wanli was still not satisfied, he glanced at Gu Qingcheng coldly, and asked, "What does Gu Qing think?" ”
After a feast. Gu Qingcheng became very cautious, so he replied thoughtfully: "The minister thinks that he should be deposed from his position as hereditary Tusi and exiled for three thousand miles. Degraded to a frontier criminal. Atonement for his sins, so as to preserve the dignity of the imperial court and appease the Tusi of Guizhou. ”
Emperor Wanli sighed lightly, glanced at Shen Shixing and the others, and asked, "What do the elders of the pavilion think?" ”
Shen Shixing replied smoothly: "The matter of the law is the responsibility of the three law divisions, and the old minister does not dare to put his beak!" ”
Wanli said in a deep voice: "In this case, according to the results of the collegial discussion of the three law divisions, Ye Xiaotian will be immediately questioned and sent to prison!" ”

There was a clinking sound. Ye Xiaotian put on a flail and locked into the prison. Xuanzi No. 1 Prison is where he grew up, and now he is back. It's just that he used to be outside the prison, but now he is inside the prison.
The cell door opened, and Wang Aoyang and Liu Jingyin, who escorted him into the cell, said with a little embarrassment: "Ye Tou'er ......"
Wang Aoyang and Liu Jingyin are both Ye Xiaotian's childhood brothers when they were cell bosses, after a long time, now Wang Aoyang has become the cell head of Xuanzi No. 1 Prison, Liu Jingyin has also become the deputy cell leader, and today Ye Xiaotian has become a prisoner, how can these two people let the jailer escort them, so they pretended to be jailers themselves.
Ye Xiaotian smiled at them and said, "It's okay! Then he calmly walked into the cell.
This cell was cleaner than the others, and because it was close to the outside of the cell, it was much drier inside, and the cell was empty, except for a straw mat against the wall, which looked new.
Ye Xiaotian smiled knowingly, turned around and bowed to Wang Aoyang and Liu Jingyin: "The two brothers are attentive!" ”
Wang Aoyang rubbed his hands and said embarrassedly: "The leader is back, brother...... What the brother can do is to make the boss live as comfortable as possible. Nothing else really helps, the brother is incompetent, and the leader is not to blame. ”
Ye Xiaotian said: "How come, I am very happy if you still treat me as a brother." ”
Liu Jingyin said: "The head will rest first, I'll go to the alley to get some soju and pig's head meat, and come back to drink two glasses with the leader." Ye Xiaotian smiled and nodded, and Wang Aoyang and Liu Jingyin lightly locked the prison door.
Ye Xiaotian dragged his handcuffs and shackles to the grass mat, lay down on the straw mat, rested his head on his arms, and let out a breath of turbid air leisurely. When Zhu Xingshu failed to propose marriage, Ye Xiaotian expected that he might not be good when he entered Beijing this time, but now it is true......
Ye Xiaotian narrowed his eyes and silently looked at the beam of sunlight shining in from the skylight. Every time he was alert to danger, he always thought of a way to plan for a rainy day, but this time...... He had no choice but to fight to the end.
The power he has is completely useless in the capital, and the foundation of his power is not in the capital, there is a huge Beijing city, and the important ministers he knows are really pitiful, there is only one Lin Shilang. If it was a matter of the side, he would have begged him or he could still agree, but let him help deal with the emperor......
Ye Xiaotian smiled bitterly.
In fact, Ye Xiaotian is not without skills, if he really wants to "die and struggle", he still has some way. The most effective way to deal with the emperor is to use public opinion to create a momentum, this trick is useless against bandits and bullies, but it is very effective against the emperor, he used this trick to blast Uncle Li out of Nanjing City.
But in that case, Yingying will have to show up and take charge of the overall situation, and the Xia family will also be dragged into the water by him for this. This time, the opponent was not Uncle Guo, but the emperor himself, and Ye Xiaotian was not completely sure.
The Xia family is prosperous, but most of them are men, Yingying, a seedling in a thousand acres of land, has been loved by thousands of people since she was a child, she is too well protected by the Xia family, she is completely a delicate flower that has not experienced any wind and rain, Ye Xiaotian can't bear to let her rush to the cusp, and he doesn't believe that Yingying has the ability to hold up the umbrella for him.
"That's it, Lao Tzu originally had nothing, but he became a classic history from a jailer, gained fame, became a pusher, and achieved a hereditary local official, and he has tasted all the scenery and wealth. What's the big deal if you lose it now, not to mention that Lao Tzu still has the identity of a venerable person. That's what the emperor can't depose! Hey! ”

"Madame, the carriage is ready!" The Xia Mansion family reported to Mrs. Xia, and Mrs. Xia, who was hurrying in the hall, stopped when she heard the sound. asked the steward of the Xia Mansion on the side, "Is the young lady ready?" ”
The steward replied, "The little one has already called someone to urge him, so the little one will go and see." ”
Mrs. Xia said: "No need, I'll take a look." Mrs. Xia hurried to Xia Yingying's residence behind, a maid ring was coming out of the room, and when she saw Mrs. Xia, she hurriedly stopped saluting, and Mrs. Xia said, "Miss, have you packed up?" ”
The maid said: "The slave was about to report to Madame, but the young lady insisted on refusing to leave Beijing." The servant couldn't persuade ......"
"What?"
Mrs. Xia was very anxious when she heard this, and immediately walked into Xia Yingying's bedroom, and saw several maids and daughters-in-law who were struggling to persuade each other. Xia Yingying was wearing a Yanju regular dress, and sat there without saying a word.
Mrs. Xia lowered her face and said, "Yingying, why aren't you ready, I'm afraid that you won't be able to leave Beijing no matter how late it is!" ”
Xia Yingying saw her mother coming. stood up and said, "Mother." Brother Xiaotian is in prison, the good luck is unpredictable, how can I leave? ”
Mrs. Xia paused and said, "Confused! It's all because of you, and it won't help you to stay in the capital, it will only make things more unpredictable, and if you leave the capital earlier, maybe he will be able to save the day. ”
Xia Yingying said: "Maybe? Maybe as soon as I leave, the emperor will kill Brother Xiao Tian in a fit of rage. ”
Mrs. Xia said angrily: "Then what's the use of you staying in Beijing?" ”
Xia Yingying said loudly: "At least you can live and die with him!" ”
Mrs. Xia said: "Nonsense! It's nonsense! ”
Xia Yingying said seriously: "Mother." Daughter is not messing around! The daughter is serious! Since I was a child, my family has spoiled and used to me. I've never suffered, I've never sinned, I've never done anything......
My daughter is not as wise as Sister Miaowen, nor is she as good as Sister Ning'er, her daughter is useless, she has always been useless, so, Brother Xiaotian likes me, I'm so happy! Now, Brother Xiaotian is in danger, his daughter can't just leave, his daughter is useless, but for him, he can do it without hesitation! ”
Mrs. Xia hurriedly said: "Yingying......"
Xia Yingying said: "Mother, my daughter has never made any decisions, this is the first time, please don't stop me!" ”
Mrs. Xia said, "What are you going to do?" ”
Xia Yingying said awe-inspiringly: "I want to use my method to save Brother Xiaotian!" ”
Mrs. Xia paused and said, "You girl, what can you do?" ”
Xia Yingying did not answer, but walked out from Mrs. Xia proudly, Mrs. Xia hurriedly chased Yingying out, and chased until she reached the gate, and saw Xia Yingying board the car that was about to go away, and gave a command, and the car galloped away.
Many guards waiting outside the door with horses and preparing to protect the return of the eldest lady were stunned and at a loss. Mrs. Xia asked anxiously, "Miss, where are you going?" ”
The commander of the guards replied: "Miss refused to go back to Guiyang, and the villain just heard Miss tell the car to go to the post house, should the villain follow?" ”
In the post house, the third lady was instructing people to pack up and prepare to return to the grassland. She is the de facto ruler of the grassland, it is impossible for her to go out for a long time without returning, and now that the face of the monarch is over, she has asked the emperor for a decree and is ready to return to the grassland on the same day.
The three ladies were busy, Xia Yingying rushed over, the three ladies were very happy when they saw it, stepped forward to hold Xia Yingying's hand, and said happily: "Little sister, are you here to send the third sister back to the grassland?" ”
Xia Yingying said solemnly: "Third sister, I want to ask you to stay in the capital for a few more days." ”
"How?" The third lady smiled: "Don't you want the third sister to leave? Then you and your sister go to the grassland as guests, the scenery on the prairie is very different from your Guiyang landscape. ”
Xia Yingying said solemnly: "Third sister, Yingying wants to ask you for something!" ”
The third lady said boldly: "What is polite to my sister, you say, whatever is it, as long as my sister can do it, I will promise you!" ”
Xia Yingying said word by word, extremely seriously: "I want to ask the third sister to be a matchmaker for Yingying!" ”
