Chapter 44: Guidance
The Gongsun family is doing white things, but during the national funeral, all the funerals have to be simple, don't say that the mourning music can't be played, and even there are few people who come to mourn.
There are only a handful of guests in the house, and Xie Zheng is one of them.
Xie Zheng still disguised himself as a man, wearing a plain deep robe, and went to Gongsun's house to be led by the porter, and went directly into the mourning hall to give incense to Gongsun Sui, Gongsun Sui's wife Qin was guarding the spirit, kneeling aside to see her, quite angry, and when she finished the incense, he stepped forward to salute and said: "Lang Jun is polite." ”
"Mrs. Gongsun is polite," Xie Zheng also saluted her, Qin straightened up, and then said: "Forgive the old man for being clumsy, I don't know which noble person this Lang Jun is?" ”
Xie Zhengzi didn't want to reveal who his surname was, so he replied humbly: "The name is just a title, and it is not enough to remember." In the next couple and the sages to make friends, quite admirable, yesterday shocked to hear the bad news, heartbroken, today to worship, and the sages goodbye. ”
"Lang Jun has a heart," Qin then blessed Xie Zheng again, Xie Zheng hurriedly supported her arms to help her up, and said, "Mrs. Gongsun is very polite!" There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, people have good and bad luck, and the things of the sages... Please also ask the lady to mourn. ”
Qin Shi paused and said: "Now that the eldest princess is in the past, there is no wine and banquet in the market, and Lang Jun can still come to worship, the old man is really grateful......"
She said, her nose was sore, and she couldn't help but shed two lines of tears, Xie Zheng saw that her nose was red, her eyes were bloodshot, and even her cheeks were crying, it was really sad, a few years ago, Qin's white-haired people sent black-haired people, and they lost their only son, Gongsun Xuan, and now they are suffering from the pain of losing their husbands, such a miserable experience, it seems to be sympathetic to her.
In fact, she also felt guilty about Gongsun Sui's death, she originally intended to deal with Xiao Ye and Yang Mingzhi, but who knew that Gongsun Sui was so strong that he would die to make his ambition clear......
At this moment, Kong Xiuzhi walked over from the side, was slightly surprised to see her, and said, "Your Excellency is the one who came to visit Wenyuan a few days ago?" ”
Xie Zheng responded, then nodded and said, "It's down." ”
Kong Xiuzhi immediately made a deal with her, and the Qin family was naturally interested in it, so he retreated to the back by himself, Kong Xiuzhi said: "I didn't expect that Your Excellency and Wen Yuan only had a one-sided relationship, and there was such a morality, and you came to worship the deceased." ”
"That day, I had to talk to Tai Shi Ling, it was a serious matter, I didn't want to, I had a good time talking with Tai Shi Ling, I hit it off at first sight, but who knows, I ...... a lot of trouble when I fly."
"Flying wreckage?" Kong Xiuzhi was suddenly a little angry, he sneered, and said, "It's because he was framed by a villain!" ”
Xie Zheng couldn't help but feel a little weak when he heard this, but he also pretended not to know, and asked, "How can Kong Zuocheng say this?" ”
"Yingfu guarded his heart, the earthquake in Mount Tai, Wen Yuan calculated that this disaster should be in the East Palace, it was caused by the instability of the East Palace, it was the above to the heavens, but unexpectedly, it was ......" Kong Xiuzhi suddenly paused, thought about it in his heart, looked at this person who had no friendship with him, and finally still had a trace of trust in her, and said clearly: "Unexpectedly, he was framed by Yang Mingzhi, the left servant of the monk Shangshu of the King of Wuling, saying that he secretly colluded with the prince to fabricate the earthquake, Wen Yuan was innocently imprisoned, unbearable and humiliated, and was forced to have no way out, hanged himself in prison...... Poor Wen Yuan has dedicated his life to his duties, and at the end of the day, he ended up like this! ”
Xie Zheng became more and more apologetic after hearing this, and did not answer, Kong Xiuzhi then said: "Yesterday, His Majesty ordered the ministers to execute Yang Mingzhi, the reason is that Yang Mingzhi framed Zhongliang, and he must be severely punished to set an example, because Wen Yuan left a bloody letter accusing Yang Mingzhi of malicious framing before his death, but Yang Ming was not the only one who maliciously slandered Wen Yuan in the court that day?" How many words are true and how many are false? ”
Although Kong Xiuzhi did not bluntly say that Xiao Daocheng covered up the facts, when he said this, Xie Zheng naturally understood, and she said bluntly: "So, in that blood letter, Taishi Ling did not complain about Yang Fu, but King Wuling?" ”
Kong Xiuzhi was silent, just as a tacit acquiescence, Xie Zheng thought about it again, in fact, Kong Xiuzhi told her the whole story, even if he didn't imply that Xiao Daocheng covered up Xiao Ye about her blood book, she probably guessed it, as for Gongsun Sui hanged himself, it must not be as simple as trying to prove his innocence with death.
Suddenly, outside the mourning hall not far behind him, the porter reported to the Qin family: "Mrs. Yu, the prince is here." ”
Hearing this, the Qin family hurriedly went to greet him, and at this time, he could see from a distance that Xiao Zhen had already entered the door, Kong Xiuzhi saw it, and he was also busy going to salute, Xie Zheng did not go to greet him, he just walked outside the mourning hall and stood there and bowed from a distance.
Xiao Zhen signaled that everyone didn't have to salute, and then walked to the mourning hall, but when he saw Xie Zheng here, he naturally recognized it, and immediately asked: "Xie... Xie Langjun, how are you here? ”
Xie Zheng said: "Xie heard that Taishi Ling had died, so he came to worship. ”
After she said that, she raised her head and looked at Xiao Chen, then glanced left and right, and then said to Xiao Zhen: "Your Highness, can you take a step to speak?" ”
Kong Xiuzhi and the Qin family retreated when they heard the words, Xiao Zhen first put a pillar incense on Gongsun, and then found a clean place with Xie Zheng, Xie Zheng said bluntly: "Taishi Ling hanged himself, in fact, to help His Highness?" ”
"What do you mean by that?" Xiao Zhen was puzzled, frowned, and Xie Zheng said: "Shicai learned from Kong Zuocheng that Tai Shi Ling had left a blood letter to accuse Yang Mingzhi of framing him before his death, but this matter came out of His Majesty's mouth, most of which was to conceal the truth. Presumably, his blood letter accuses someone else. ”
Xiao Zhen didn't think about it, and opened his mouth to say, "You mean the fifth brother?" ”
Xie Zheng bowed slightly, Xiao Zhen was silent, in fact, he didn't know that it was Xiao Ye, when he went to court that day, Yang Mingzhi said that Xiao Ye received an anonymous letter, and later Xiao Ye also admitted that it was true, but he didn't expect that Gongsun would lose his life for him.
"Gongsun sued for death, but I didn't expect him to get away with it!" Xiao Zhen was quite unhappy in his heart.
"But that's fine," Xie Zheng took a deep breath and said: "Although he didn't let King Wuling correct the law, but in the end he also made him lose Yang Mingzhi, Yang Mingzhi has always dominated Shangshu Province, and now that he is dead, not only is the real power of Shangshu Province back in the hands of Pei Fengzhi, but King Wuling is also like a broken right arm, and His Royal Highness can live in peace for a while." ”
Xiao Zhen asked, "What about the third brother?" ”
"King Linchuan?" Xie Zheng sneered, "Judging from the fact that he took the soldiers of Jingzhao Yin's Mansion to stop His Highness from the city the night before, His Highness should know that he is a waste, even if there is Yu Yuangui and Xie Zhuang behind him, it is also a Dou who can't be helped, His Highness doesn't have to take him in his eyes, even if he poses a threat to His Highness in the future, then His Highness doesn't have to deal with him in person, there is someone to deal with him." ”
After she finished speaking, she continued: "However, Your Highness should be careful, Yang Mingzhi is dead, and the King of Wuling will definitely install other people to infiltrate Shangshu Province." ”
Xiao Zhen was thinking about it, but he called a "Your Majesty has arrived" outside the mansion to disturb his mind, and his voice was high-pitched, which was the voice of the inner supervisor in the palace.
When everyone in the house heard this, they immediately went to the door to greet them, and at this time, they saw Xiao Daocheng walking in unhurriedly with Xiao Ye and Qu Ping from a distance.
Xiao Zheng was about to leave to salute, but when he turned around, Xie Zheng seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and no one could be found no matter how he looked for him.
