Vomiting blood and coma?

Still not awake?

So serious?

Emperor Ming Xuan subconsciously felt that something was wrong, and couldn't help but look at Qi Wenfu lightly: "When was this rumor?" ”

"Just a few days."

Qi Wenfu said: "The emperor is in the palace, so I don't know, but the outside world is very powerful." ”

"Nowadays, people in the market are saying that the Xie family bullied the courtiers with the emperor's grace, and did not take the law of Dachen in their eyes, and also said that the old lady of the Xie family trespassed into the Cao family's mansion and injured Lord Cao, not to mention, it was even more murderous and humiliated Lord Cao."

"Lord Cao was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted on the spot, there was a lot of speculation outside, he didn't show up for a few days when he was sick, and there were often imperial doctors in and out of Cao's mansion, so the rumors were even more fierce."

Qi Wenfu said in a light voice:

"The minister went to see Hou Ye Xie yesterday because of the matter of the household department, and Hou Ye Xie was very angry by these rumors."

"He originally wanted to directly invalidate the gambling contract between the two sons, but because the rumors insulted his mother and also slandered the reputation of the Hou Mansion, he took the previous gambling contract to sue the Cao family into Dali Temple in a fit of anger."

Saying that, Qi Wenfu couldn't help laughing:

"But Xie Hou Ye is really a military general's style, the light picture is happy, then the Cao family is afraid that it is impossible to accept the gambling contract no matter what, if it really should come down, it is a small matter to lose a few thousand taels of silver, but let the little son of the Cao family take off his clothes and run around the capital."

"How can the people of the Cao family be willing?"

Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty looked at Qi Wenfu when he heard this: "How are you so clear?" ”

Qi Wenfu looked calm: "When the little son of the Cao family provoked the son of the Xie family to gamble, my father was also in the cockfighting ring. ”

"Your Majesty also knows my father's temperament, holding his baby all over the capital all day long, which of those fun venues is not familiar to him?"

"My father happened to see this one day, and when he went back, he talked to me about it as a joke."

"I heard that the little son of the Xie family is a child, and after being coaxed to the cockfighting ring by the youngest son of Lord Cao, he was forced to make a bet, and he was so angry that he swore to the sky that if he won, he would want the son of the Cao family to strip naked and run around the capital, and there are many witnesses next to him."

Emperor Ming Xuan looked at him and said, "What kind of bet did the son of the Cao family make the Xie family?" ”

Qi Wenfu shook his head: "It doesn't seem to be said, just that if he wins, let the son of the Xie family do something for him at his request." ”

Seeing that Emperor Ming Xuan's face sank, Qi Wenfu pretended not to care and said:

"I guess it's just a kid's joke."

"Then Gongzi Cao is still young, what bad ideas can he come up with, but he just wants Gongzi Xie to lose face?"

Emperor Xuan's eyes sank slightly.

He couldn't think of it, but what about Cao Xiong? And also......

What about the eldest prince?

The people of the Xie family made a lot of trouble in front of the Cao family, and Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty also heard about it, although he didn't know the specific experience, but he also knew that the Cao family was the first to lose.

They cheated and cheated the kid of the Xie family, and when they did something during the gambling fight, they were noticed by the people of the Xie family, so the kid of the Xie family would run to the door of the Cao family to make a fuss, and also bumped into the eldest prince who happened to be in the Cao family at the time.

Thousands of taels of silver, this is not like a bet that a half-sized man dares to propose.

Not to mention that promise......

The reaction of the son of the Xie family should be that of their age, he is stubborn and impulsive, but the one of the Cao family is a liar first, cheating last, and only said afterwards that he would let Xie Yuan's son do something for him.

Now that the affairs of the household department are in a critical situation, Xie Yuan is involved in the matter of Jingnan.

The eldest and the second child have always been at odds, could it be that he noticed something, so he wanted to take the opportunity to take the handle of the Xie family and force Xie Yuan to come forward to testify against the second child? Or is he trying to do something bigger......

I have to say that as an emperor, Emperor Ming Xuan's brain replenishment ability is first-class.

Qi Wenfu just made a start, and he made up all the things that followed.

"Your Majesty..."

"Your Majesty?"

Zhou Lian stood beside Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty, and the Qi Wen Mansion had been out for a while, but Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty just frowned and lowered his eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking when he sat there.

The great eunuch Zhou called several times in a row, and Emperor Ming Xuan came back to his senses: "What are you doing?" ”

Zhou Lian said in a low voice: "Cao Zong is asking to see him outside. ”

Cao Xiong?

Emperor Ming Xuan frowned: "What is he doing here?" ”

Zhou Lian replied: "Cao Zongzheng said that he came to ask His Majesty for his little son. ”

Afraid that Emperor Ming Xuan would be puzzled, he added:

"For the incident with the Marquis of Xuanping a few days ago."

Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty listened to Qi Wenfu's words just now, and he had already made up a lot of brains, and he was suspicious at this time.

Listening to Cao Xiong, who was still "vomiting blood and in a coma" in Qi Wenfu's mouth just now, he actually came to the palace to ask him for his guilt at this time.

Emperor Ming Xuan's face sank suddenly.

"He and the Xie family, what kind of crime did he come to ask me, his son deceived the Xie family, if he wants to ask for the guilt, he should let his son go directly to the Xie family to ask them, what are you doing in the palace."

"Besides, didn't you say before that he was sick and couldn't even get out of bed, so that the imperial doctor ran towards his house every day, and even took leave from the early dynasty, how could he have the spirit to enter the palace to see me at this time?"

A moment ago, he was sick to death, saying that the Xie family relied on the emperor's grace to humiliate him.

At this time, he came to see him with a hundred times more energy, and kept saying that he was pleading, I am afraid that he wanted to take the opportunity to sue the Xie family and strike first?

Although the words in Emperor Xuan's mouth did not directly condemn it, but the dissatisfaction and the words that asked the Cao family to go to the Xie family to make amends determined this matter.

Zhou Lian stood aside, pondering Emperor Xuan's intentions.

Emperor Ming Xuan glanced at him directly: "What are you still doing in a daze, let him go back." ”

"The matter of the Xie family ......"

"What should be done about the affairs of the Xie family."

Emperor Ming Xuan said coldly: "The Xie family didn't come to me to complain after suffering a loss, he is not a good godson, where did he come from to let me manage his family affairs for him." ”

"Didn't Xie Yuan go to Dali Temple with a gambling contract? Since there is a black and white letter, then it is done according to the gambling contract. Willing to gamble and lose, what, do you want me to teach him what is the word integrity?! ”

Zhou Lian saw that Emperor Ming Xuan's face was full of displeasure, and hurriedly whispered: "The slave will go." ”

……

Cao Xiong didn't know that Qi Wenfu had already dug a pit for him, and after he took the medicine, his body was flushed with weakness for a while, and his face was even more pale.

Since he entered the palace to plead guilty, he knelt in front of the door.

Although the snow outside the hall was swept away, the ground was oozing cold, and Cao Xiong only knelt for a while, and then felt that his knees were frozen and unconscious.

But in order to let Emperor Ming Xuan see his "sincerity", he didn't dare to get up at all, and only hoped that Zhou Lian would pass him in soon.
