Chapter 397: The Xue family is defeated

After thinking for a while, Xie Yaoguang got up and bowed to Li Qi, his eyes showing respect. He also informed Li Qi that Qi Wuyin left the capital early and rushed to Jinling, this person is ruthless, and no one knows what he will do after forming an alliance with King Shou, which is what makes Xie Yaoguang feel the most headache.

In addition, there is also a Empress Xu in the palace, and I don't know if King Shou will instigate Empress Xu to deal with Concubine Hui, thinking about all kinds of things, Xie Yaoguang can't help but feel a headache.

"Qi Wuyin, leave it to me to deal with. I still have some friendship with him, and now that King Jin is not in Beijing, many things are piling up on you, you should be careful. Then he took a jade pendant from his sleeve and handed it to Xie Yaoguang, and said in a deep voice: "Although I have been away from the government for many years, I can still speak in the court. Moreover, the most important righteousness in the army, the prestige of King Jin in the army is not low, if it is really to the point that he raises his arms with this jade pendant, he may not be able to reverse the situation. ”

"Thank you Uncle Li for your kindness. It's just that things haven't come to that point yet, and I'm afraid that you will add a lot of trouble if you give me this jade pendant now. The words fell, Xie Yaoguang returned the jade pendant. The jade pendant that Li Qi gave her just now, she had seen in her grandfather's codex that it was said to be a token used by the Li family to order the Li family's soldiers and horses in various places. In his opinion, such a gift is too precious, not to mention that this time is definitely not a good time for Ye Linchen to hold the jade pendant.

After thinking for a while, Li Qi frowned and asked, "Forget it, since you have your plans, I won't interfere with you." Is there a letter from Lu Lingshan? ”

"Not yet. However, I sent him a letter a few days ago, and he was not ambiguous and directly arranged for someone to impeach King Shou's favorite concubine and kill his wife. Although it did not substantially hurt King Shou, it damaged his reputation. With a smile on his lips, Xie Yaoguang played with the tea cup in his hand, and his tone was cold.

"It turned out to be King Shou who you instructed people to impeach. You don't know the expression of King Shou at that time, if it weren't for His Majesty, I was afraid that he would rush up and tear people apart. Her voice paused, and then she turned around, "It's a pity that Your Majesty didn't punish King Shou, but just criticized a few words without pain." ”

The pupils moved slightly, Xie Yaoguang lowered his eyes and chuckled: "Who said that I was going to let His Majesty scold King Shou?" The Xue family sacrificed so many people for King Shou, and finally ended up like this. If you were Xue Zitang, wouldn't you be resentful? ”

"But I think now the Xue family's backer is King Shou. Xue Zitang will never leave King Shou alone, do you think the Xue family will come to King Jin? But then again, the Xue family does have an unmarried daughter of appropriate age, and if His Majesty makes an order, it is okay. After saying this, Gu Qingzhi glanced at Xie Yaoguang with a smile, and it was difficult to hide the narrowness in her eyes.

didn't taste the meaning of Gu Qingzhi's words, but Xie Yaoguang's tone was very determined, "Your Majesty will not give marriage." The Xue family doesn't have that blessing to produce two princesses at the same time. ”

After hearing this, Gu Qingzhi and Li Qi looked at each other and laughed loudly. provoked Xie Yaoguang to look at the two of them inexplicably for a while, and the doubts in his eyes grew, he really didn't understand why these two were so good at smiling like this.

Seeing that it was getting late, Xie Yaoguang ordered Suzaku to set up a meal, and today because Li Qi was also instructing Bai Lu to take the best wine in the building to drink. After a few people finished eating, Xie Yaoguang instructed Suzaku to personally send Gu Qingzhi back, and he stayed to talk to Li Qi about the matter, and it was not until the moon and the sky that the two left Lanxing Tower one after the other. fantasy

On the second day after talking with Li Qi again, Xie Yaoguang sent a letter to Ye Linchen to inform him that Qi Wuyin had gone to Jinling, and asked him to be careful. Soon Ye Linchen also sent him a reply, saying that he asked her to put it down, and he would take care of himself.

Although this son was still very worried about Ye Linchen in Jinling, Xie Yaoguang did not let go of dealing with the Xue family, and used the power in his hands to completely destroy the business that the Xue family had been running for many years in a few days.

Although the Xue family also knew that Xie Yaoguang was the initiator of everything, because King Shou had ordered them not to act rashly, the Xue family could only swallow their anger and let Xie Yaoguang eat away at the Xue family's strength.

However, the most surprising thing in Beijing now is the sudden rise of the Pei family, originally the Pei family was just a little-known three families outside the capital, and it was easy to have a Pei Huai who was able to enter Beijing as an official, but there were no particularly good political achievements over the years.

Just when Pei Huai was about to be transferred out of Beijing, a case of hiding corpses in an abandoned garden suddenly fell from the sky, as well as an unjust case of knife murder and a case of illegal salt, these three cases together made Pei Huai very little in the limelight for a while, it is said that at the beginning, King Shou also thought about wooing Pei Huai, but this person did not know how to lift up, and he didn't care about what King Shou did, so King Shou finally gave up this idea.

But no one expected that after a year, the Pei family would dare to start a fight with the Xue family. Even in the court, he joined others to impeach the Xue family several times, impeached the Xue family, not to mention the murder, and even stole the beams and changed the pillars, and secretly exchanged Xue Wenhan, who should have been exiled to the southwest, to Haizhou under the rule of Xue Wenyuan, in order to be able to live in peace and wait until His Majesty amnesties the world, and then bring people back.

Who knows if it's a coincidence, even if Xue Wenhan arrives in Haizhou, he will not change his will and beat the young child to death on the street, so that he will be approached by others to take revenge.

The storyteller of the wine shop spread the matter very vividly, but it made the Xue family furious, and when he wanted to send someone to arrest this storyteller several times, he basically ran away, and he didn't see anyone.

And this incident finally alarmed Emperor Li, Emperor Li was furious when he heard this, and immediately ordered to bring all the people who had participated in the judgment of the case to Jing Zhaoyin's prison to check what he said when the case was closed last year, after confirming that these people were all about exiling Xue Wenhan to the southwest at the beginning, but in the end, because Xue Zitang gave them money, after dredging up and down, they arranged for death row prisoners to go to the southwest instead of Xue Wenhan, and Xue Wenhan went to Haizhou with ease.

Such a result was not what Emperor Li wanted to hear, and he immediately ordered the dismissal of all the personnel involved. As for Xue Zitang, who was demoted three levels in a row and then stripped of all his positions, Xue Wenyuan knew that his father had done this, and even helped him to abuse him and behead him according to the law, remembering his past exploits and exiled to Qianzhou, and he would never return to Beijing without an edict.

The Xue family's court was left in the cold, and King Shou originally wanted to help, but Jiang Huaixin did not agree with his actions.

The rapid decline of the Xue family also means the rise of new forces, such as the Pei family, which once again appeared in everyone's sight and naturally became the target of King Shou. But the Pei family still maintained their usual attitude and rejected King Shou's invitation.
