Chapter 206: The Storm is Coming
Under such a gaze, Su Shenzhi lowered his eyes and said suddenly: "Grandpa, I am just like making Zhaoguo better and stronger, and Xie Yuan, a lord who endangers the royal power, can only harm Zhaoguo." β
"He has now repelled the great wilderness, which is the first contribution of Dingding, and Zhaoguo has no political tradition of unloading the mill and killing donkeys."
Su Dazai got up, his long sleeves swayed lightly, and he was about to walk by.
Suddenly, I heard Su Shenzhi, who bowed his head, say in a low voice.
"Actually, it's not nothing."
"The Emperor of the First Will..."
Before Su Shenzhi finished speaking, Su Dazai paused beside him, although he was old, his posture was as clear as a green bamboo, but his eyes were like a clear abyss.
"It's not up to you to decide this dynasty, so don't worry about the last one."
"When will you wait until you get to Sanpin."
Su Dazai left, and Su Shenzhi gritted his teeth.
No matter how talented you are,
Neither can compare to his grandfather's talent across an era.
It can't compare to the exploits made by the Xie family from three hundred years ago.
It can't compare to Xie Mingjin's talent of being born with all-round talent in civil and military affairs.
He has made a lot of calculations, and now that Xie Ming is killing a great wilderness master in the frontier and killing a few generals outside the country, the government and the opposition are full of praise for her.
The people have also changed the direction of the Xie family.
So many calculations, all broken.
"Like, you can only wait for Xie Yuan to make a mistake?"
Su Shenzhi lowered his head, thought of the secret he had mastered, and smiled.
Fortunately, he was not unprepared.
ββββββββ
Xie Yuan had not yet returned to the court, but there was a boat docked at the dock of the capital, and a young man on the deck with a timid face holding a package looked at the capital with a few words, gritted his teeth, got off the boat, and blended into the flow of people.
Two days later, the young man stopped Su Dazai's frame, just knelt down, and accused someone with the loudest voice in his life.
The people sued the official, and he crossed countless steps, and directly sued the most powerful lord today.
Xie Yuan.
"Caomin is Ye Xun, the son of Ye Li, my father once told me that Xie Yuan conspired with him three years ago to slander the former head of the armory, Lin Yuchen, which led to him being deprived of his post and imprisoned, and then helped him ascend to the throne, and then they controlled the interests of the armory, inferior ordnance, replaced high-quality fine iron and other materials, and made huge profits from it.
The whole street shook and there was a lot of discussion, but Su Dazai was very calm, only frowning slightly, "If you are the son of Ye Li, why don't those people kill you and allow you to go to the capital?" β
Ye Xun saw that Su Dazai didn't seem to believe him, he was a little anxious, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Because I am an illegitimate child, no one knows, because those who kill my mouth do not know about my existence, my father is afraid that there will be this day, so he told me the truth in advance, and gave me the letter evidence of his conspiracy with Xie Yuan back then, here, you can check whether it is his handwriting!" β
He took out the secret letter from his cuff and handed it to Su Dazai on the street.
"Master Su, I know that you are the best official, you will definitely enforce the law impartially and punish Xie Yuan, right?"
Su Dazai looked at him and didn't speak for a long time.
And Ye Xun also kept kneeling on the ground, holding the stack of secret letters.
ββββββ
Ming Jin listened to the news from the capital, she was looking for Xie Yuan, she didn't know where he was, what she was going to do, she suddenly got the information from the capital, she was silent for a long time, and then pressed the information on the table, and her thin white fingers pressed the black and white words on the white paper.
"He didn't do it."
She knew him too well.
"There are only two kinds of interests in the armory, one is reselling, although it is profitable, but there is no lack of legitimate salt and iron trading in the Xie family's ancestry, which is both safe and profitable, so there is no need to be contaminated with this. Second, I got the resources to make ordnance, and after the transfer, I made my own ordnance, but my father had the Wujia army that had crossed the Ming Road on hand, so there was no need. β
"If he doesn't have the necessary benefits, he doesn't have to contaminate the armory, then there's something wrong with the secret letter."
Tuoze also thinks this is the truth.
What is the foundation of the Xie family, there is no need to do such a thing at all, but Ye Xun said things as if it was true, if Xie Yuan really conspired with Ye Li, then the matter of the armory workshop could be pushed on him from now on.
This is a very common road in officialdom, but why is it difficult to crack.
The wall fell and everyone pushed it.
Thinking of this, Tuoze asked, "Can it mention that Su Dazai can take this complaint?" β
"If you take it, if you don't answer it, the news won't come out, because that Ye Xun will definitely be disposed of."
"That Su Dazai...."
Ming Jin pressed his eyebrows lightly and said: "That Ye Xun is very good at finding people, and he has found a person who is capable and can handle it impartially, only he dares to accept this case, and he will accept it." β
Tuoze frowned, "He's still Su Shenzhi's grandfather, isn't he..."
"No, he is an old minister who has gone through two generations, he has done his best for the country, and he has never been corrupt and perverted the law, nor has he seized power, and when he reaches his official position and age, unlike Su Shenzhi and some young people's radical and naΓ―ve, he can trade in for the sake of interests - in fact, this stage is trade in."
She saw what a great merit Xie Yuan had in repelling the Great Wilderness, and at this time, the imperial court went to deal with Xie Yuan for the sake of the illegitimate son of a criminal minister, which would only give the people of the world a sense that Xie Yuan's high merit would eradicate her.
The court will not be so stupid, and it will also make the king's historical commentary smeared with a lot of darkness, and it will make others dare not make meritorious contributions in the future, and the consequences will be very serious.
Unless there is a sufficiently large and iron-clad charge, the imperial court will not act rashly.
"However, he also has a conflict of interest with Gong Xie, doesn't he? They are all important ministers of the Cabinet, if there is no problem, when Su Dazai's term of office is up, it is Duke Xie who has the most power and can win the Cabinet. β
Ming Jin tilted his head slightly and said, "My father will not become the head of the cabinet. β
Tuoze was surprised, this is?
"Chu Xie had the old covenant after the founding of the world together, and it was determined that no one could be in charge of the head of the cabinet at that time, because the family and the cabinet could only choose one of the two, if it was both, it would be a disaster, which was to ensure the stability of the Chu family."
Tuoze: "The Chu family's move is also powerful, and other families even agree, but he is the sovereign, so he can only agree." β
Ming Jin's expression was a little subtle, and he shook his head, "It's not the Chu family, it's my ancestor." β
Tuoze was stunned.
Ming Jin lowered his eyes and said lightly: "The Xie family is restrained, I'm afraid this is an ancestral rule." β
The Xie family has a lot of rules, so many families, there are countless rules and regulations for the Xie family, and in his opinion, his lord is probably the only Xie family who completely abides by it.
What about Xie Yuan, will he also abide by it?
It seems that in the eyes of the Lord, he will stick to this rule, so he will not touch the position of the head of the cabinet, otherwise with the age of Su Dazai,
Tuoze was speechless for a while,
After speaking, she looked at Tuoze, "The next leader of the cabinet should have been decided, not my father, but Yu Ge Lao, who has supported the royal power the most over the years, my father has agreed, so the queen and Concubine Ling will suspect that Yu Ge Lao also has something to do with my father, I am afraid that he will grasp both military power and political power, and his power is monstrous, in order to win him over, the king will let me enter the palace, and I may have to move to the back position, after all, the king was weak back then, in order to firmly support his courtiers, except for the Su family, including the future, and even those concubines, Nine times out of ten, it was from the homes of those courtiers. This is the usual trick of the harem and court of the kings of all dynasties. β
She used a reverse push, guessing the result of the cabinet's internal decision, and also guessing that her father had made concessions.
This is the coherent reaction of the king and the queen's favorite concubine.
"In that case, Su Dazai can completely skip this case."
"If he doesn't take it, the reputation of the cabinet will not pass, Qingliu will protest, if he takes it, he will be able to stop other people from coming nonsense, and he can check how he wants, at present, Su Dazai should have such a mentality."
Takuzawa caught the hesitation on her face.
"What about the people behind the scenes who arranged this Ye Xun? What kind of mentality? β
Ming Jin leaned on the back of the chair, his fingers tapped the side of his forehead, thoughtfully, "Yes, what kind of mentality does Su Shenzhi have, he is afraid of his grandfather, and he knows his grandfather very well, knowing that he will investigate in detail, and he will definitely find out the truth, so let my father get out easily, why bother." β
"Either he wants to use his identity to intervene in it and make some trouble, but in my judgment, as long as Su Dazai doesn't have a problem, if he intervenes again, the consequences of fabrication will be brought back in the end."
"So, is he trying to get his grandfather to have an accident?"
Ming Jin suddenly raised his face, his gaze sharp.
Tuoze was shocked.
If something happens to Su Dazai, everyone will suspect that Xie Yuan did it, a Ye Li, or a former head of the armory, not to mention slander, even if it is true, with the power of the Xie family and Xie Yuan, he will not be able to completely kill him in the end, for an opponent like Xie Yuan, either he will not make a move, or it will be a thunder fatal, otherwise there will be endless troubles.
Su Shenzhi is by no means such an idiot.
Ye Xun is just a trick, and the real killer move is Su Dazai.
As soon as the latter died, the consequences were enough for the Xie family to subvert.
The anger of the court and the people will overwhelm the entire Xie family.
At that time, the court had enough reason to deal with Xie Yuan.
"But in this way, Su Shenzhi also has to have a huge loss, after all, no matter how talented he is, the official position along the way is prosperous, and it has a lot to do with Su Dazai's protection, losing him is equivalent to losing the pillar of the Su family, and he has not yet entered the center, which is equivalent to self-damage of 800 and 1,000 enemies, with Su Shenzhi's character, he will never do such a deal - unless, getting rid of Su Dazai himself is also to protect himself."
Ming Jin got up, his face grim.
Su Dazai should see through the face of his grandson, and then he will definitely investigate it carefully, and he is going to kill his relatives in righteousness?
As if she heard that Su Shenzhi's parents had a problem back then, and they were decisively disposed of by Su Dazai, the government and the opposition were shaken at that time, and she had heard her grandfather talk to Xie Yuan, and the expressions of the two were very complicated at that time.
"Lord, do you want to contact the people in the capital to contact Su Dazai now?"
"It may be too late."
Ming Jin looked out the window, and there was a sudden rumbling outside, and it was thunder.
Is it going to rain again?
But she hadn't found Xie Yuan yet.
But Su Shenzhi was already about to do it.
Ming Jin was not blindly in suspicion, she was ready for the worst.
"Arrange it, all the men and horses are ready, the border city.... And over there in Taiyi City... also contact the people of the Xie family over there in the capital, you must be optimistic about Ming Dai and them, try to protect them, and those who have enmity with the Xie family in the past, some people with abilities and backgrounds, but whenever they move, the news can be conveyed, no matter how much money is used and connections, stop outside the gate of the Xie family! β
"Is there any movement in the Dark Guard? Let the peony contact, there are people I have cultivated, although they are not the leaders, but they should always know a little bit of Bi Er's clues, tell me, and I must know if they are all in the capital, and whether they can shelter the Xie family in time. β
"Prepare to evacuate."
When Ming Jin arranged, he also wrote secret letters one by one.
ββββββββ
Ming Jin's guess was verified, and three days later, the fastest secret letter in the capital came.
Su Dazai was poisoned, and now he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead.
The government and the opposition were in chaos, and there were many discussions among the people, and the spearhead was pointed at Xie Yuan.
Just as the frontier summoned back to the capital, Xie Yuan left with his troops and was suspected of being missing.
The court was full of grievances and suspicions about this matter, and the voices were boiling.
In this matter, Ming Jin was on her way back to the capital, and she had received a secret letter from the same time, which was the intelligence to monitor Su Shenzhi.
She originally thought that Xie Yuan was dormant this time, if he didn't want to deal with the imperial court, he should take away the entire Wujia army, but only the elite, which showed that the target was not so big.
The second-class eradication target is to destroy Guangling Valley, and if it can't be found anywhere else, then she can only go back to Wuling to take a look.
But this secret letter from Su Shenzhi made her figure it out, Su Shenzhi, this opponent who has been bouncing, whether it is her father's sworn enemy for so many years or not, is obviously among the targets to be eradicated, and now that Su Dazai has an accident, the spearhead is directed at him.
If he doesn't do anything, it's definitely not his Xie Yuan's style.
"Su Shenzhi has people and horses in Baiyan Mountain, three hundred miles away from the capital, I am afraid that I can find out if it is a dead soldier who is raised, and I am afraid that my father will also find out."
Ming Jin plans to try her luck, so she has to rush back to the capital.
Only then did she realize that her battle with her father had really begun.
Over the years, she has always guessed what he really wants and what he wants to do, and it is the same now.
Will she win?
It always seemed that he was walking in front and making her look at his back.
Or estrangement, or suspicion, or hatred, or never see each other again.
But those grudges, when covering the entire Xie family, Mingrong Mingdai and others, she finally made a choice.
She has already lost the butterfly love flower and doesn't want to lose the Xie family again.
Maybe this is also the fundamental reason why Fei Wudao saw through her at a glance.
She was born unworthy of being a butterfly lover of flowers.
ββββββ
The Xie family is in a very bad situation now, and they are shaking in the wind and rain again, but they also stick to the gate and isolate all the wind and rain.
The Xie family is not the first time it has been so turbulent.
But they all survived before.
This time it will definitely be possible.
As long as Xie Yuan returns home, as long as Xie Ming returns home.
In the second room, Xie Jun and Xie Li tried their best to stabilize the Xie family, while anxiously waiting for the movement outside, it was also strange, and now the court has not sent someone to the Xie family to reconnoitre, which seems to be a good thing, but it is faintly unsettling.
"The storm is coming." Xie Jun climbed high in the attic and looked into the distance, and said deeply.
