Chapter 109: The Road to Clearing Grievances
Remember [ .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
Gao Xingzhi lightly lit the table, and on the table, the smoke of incense spread faintly: "It shouldn't be a matter of party strife." The crown prince was established by His Majesty ten years ago, he is the son-in-law and the eldest son, and there is no doubt that the future throne will be his. The other princes have no dispute about the throne, but they are not afraid to win you over. If you think about it again, it is possible that you offended him in private matters. ”
"Do you think he hurt me?" Pei Xie Tang was stunned.
Gao Xingzhi chuckled: "How do I know." ”
Pei Xie Tang immediately laughed, laughing at himself for being too stupid for this question.
How is it possible, Zhu Shenjian is not a fool, getting rid of himself is equivalent to losing the barrier in the northwest, there is no one to guard the northwest, not to mention the border crisis, even if the border is peaceful, the imperial court can only choose people to guard. The only person who can use it now and is most likely to use it is Zhu Xinzhi. Zhu Xinzhi is a prince, let a prince hold a heavy fist, even if this prince once swore not to sit on the throne, it is tantamount to a time explosive for him, dangerous!
Speaking of which, Zhu Xinzhi has the most reason!
Hmph, she suddenly sneered, Zhu Shen saw that he had a good relationship with Zhu Xinzhi's brother, and it was not unusual for Zhu Shen to be an accomplice.
"Of course I offended him." Pei Xie Tang pursed the corners of his mouth: "I hurt his brother and is about to cut off his grandchildren, and it is normal for him to be angry with me." ”
Zhu Xinzhi vowed to be a virtuous king since he was a child, and tried his best to assist Zhu Shenjian, and the relationship between the two brothers was good with wearing a pair of pants. Now that he is Xie Chengyin, but he appeared in front of him with Zhu Xinzhi once, and drank with Gao Xingzhi, he could be warned by him openly and secretly, and he could see that this person protected Zhu Xinzhi a lot.
Knowing that Zhu Xinzhi was going to kill someone, it was completely reasonable that he would be a helper.
"What about other than that?" Gao Xingzhi smiled.
Pei Xie Tang was silent.
Speaking of which, she and Zhu Shenjian and other princes have known each other since they were young, because she is the bloodline of the Pei family, and when she was a child, she also did a few princes' companions in the palace. The son-in-law, Zhu Shenjian, is the child king of this group of people, he is the oldest, and everyone listens to him; Pei Xie Tang is the youngest and the only girl, even if she causes a big disaster, these brothers are all protecting her. Although everyone got older later, it was inevitable that they would be unfamiliar, but if you want to talk about grievances, there is really no grudge.
"I can't remember." Pei Xie Tang shook his head, "I shouldn't have made a feud with the prince." It's just that since I messed up Zhu Xinzhi's marriage at the palace banquet that year, he has been a lot colder with me. ”
"Palace banquet ......" Gao Xing put away the folding fan with a snap.
Pei Xie Tang laughed sullenly: "Well, when it came to last year's palace banquet, I was drunk and adjusted. After playing Zhu Xinzhi, His Royal Highness the Prince's attitude towards me became even colder. ”
"That's all?" Gao Xingzhi stared at her.
Pei Xie Tang thought carefully for a moment, and he was a little unsure: "You know what kind of virtue I have when I'm drunk. I drank a lot at last year's palace banquet, and I couldn't remember a lot of things when I woke up. I vaguely remember that I seemed to have left Zhengyangmen and went to the Imperial Garden for a walk, and when I came back, I met His Royal Highness the Prince, and I ...... I may have been a little disrespectful to him, but the next day he asked me if I remembered what had happened in the Imperial Garden. I said I don't remember, but his face was very ugly. ”
"Don't remember anything?" Gao Xingzhi hurriedly asked.
Pei Xie Tang shook his head: "I'm all drunk, where do I remember!" ”
"This is not right, even if you offend His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in words, according to my observation for so many years, the Crown Prince is not a stingy person. He always knew what kind of character you were, and he couldn't afford to be angry with you about it. Gao Xingzhi was puzzled.
Pei Xie Tang held his chin and sighed: "What if I offended him in my behavior? ”
"My aunt, you're such a troublemaker!" Gao Xingzhi was a little speechless, rubbing his aching eyebrows: "If you think of something, just tell me as soon as possible." Right now, they have to rely on Li Shangxi and a few of them to investigate. ”
"However, having this clue is better than nothing, and there is always a breakthrough." Pei Xie Tang smiled: "At least, I am now more sure of how I died. ”
"If it is true that the crown prince and the king of Huai'an are united...... Lao Xie, you better come with me. Let's find a clean place to live, they don't know that you are Pei Xie Tang, you are alive and well, and you grew up with Pei Yixiang, at least, this life is saved. Gao Xingzhi looked at her with a rare sadness in his eyes.
Pei Xie Tang looked back and smiled: "If that's the case, then am I still the Pei family?" ”
Gao Xingzhi froze in place.
After a long time, he laughed twice and shook the fan: "That's right." ”
When did Pei Xie Tang, whom he knew, retreat, and when was he timid?
Gao Xing stopped leaving.
Pei Xie Tang was rarely clean for two days, and in April, the flowers were all blooming, and her heart slowly calmed down. When she got Zhu Xinzhi's letter this day, she was a little distracted.
Zhu Xinzhi's letter was as light and light as his person, with only a few words, not long at all.
In the letter, he apologized for his behavior of not saying goodbye, and promised to bring a gift to Pei Xie Tang when he returned. Pei Xie Tang lowered his head and stroked. Touching the last four words on the letter, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked up with a smile.
"All right, don't read it."
How can you not read it?
Since the person who has been dangling in front of him on his birthday, he hasn't seen it for so many days in the blink of an eye, and without him, Pei Xie Tang has lost a lot of tune. The fun of teaching, practicing martial arts in the house every day, feels like living in vain. After counting the days like this, I finally got his letter, and it immediately reminded me of the past.
Pei Xie Tang replied to the letter, and quickly wrote one first, which was also his usual style, after a few simple sentences, he was about to seal it, when he was suddenly stunned, opened the letter suddenly, and burned it clean with a candle.
"Stupid!" Pei Xie Tang slapped his forehead.
She was so proud that she completely forgot to hide her font, wouldn't it be bad to wait for this letter to be sent? Immediately calmed down, learned the handwriting of the basket and began to write.
This time it was written slowly and much more.
"Feng Qiu is well: a farewell and a half month, the prince is ruthless, you don't miss me, but I read you dozens of times, hundreds of times every day, and the basket says that I am about to lose my heart and go crazy. These days. You are not in the capital, you don't know that a lot of big things have happened in the capital...... "Zero and zero is always there, no matter how big or small, he actually wrote a full six pages, not to mention the love words, and the thickness alone makes people full of friendship at a glance."
Sealing his mouth, Pei Xie Tang smiled with satisfaction.
Xie Chengyin is not Pei Xie Tang who travels on the battlefield, and the biography is as short and clear as a military order.
"Write so much?" The basket looked taken aback.
Pei Xie Tang exaggerated and made a shy gesture to cover his cheeks: "Oh, people are young ladies who haven't been out of the cabinet now, and if you miss someone, of course you want to tell him!" ”
The basket sneered: "Miss misses the prince?" ”
"I think, day and night." She said it really or not.
I want to tear my heart out, and I can't sleep and eat! But it's not about kissing me and me with him, it's about how to make him miserable!
The letter was delivered, and then the wait was repeated.
But what is waiting for is high behavior.
As soon as he entered the door of Manjiang Ting, Gao Xingzhi retreated left and right, and said with a serious expression: "Lao Xie, there is an opportunity now, and your grievances can be revealed to the world." ”
"From the beginning!" Pei Xie Tang was so excited that his heart trembled, and he desperately suppressed it and asked him to sit down.
Gao Xingzhi said: "Do you remember Ran Chenglin?" ”
Pei Xie Tang sneered: "Remember, how can I forget, I won't forget this name even if I turn to ashes!" ”
Emperor Xuanqing personally tried and convicted her of 12 crimes in Pei Xie Tang, including seven major crimes and five minor crimes. The seven major crimes include wanton murder of courtiers, arson, embezzlement and bribery, buying and selling officials, defecting to the enemy and betraying the country, disrespecting the imperial family, and bullying the village. The plaintiff is a merchant with small assets in the crime of embezzlement and bribery in these seven major crimes, and the witness is this Ran Cheng Lin Ran.
Ran Chenglin is the Taishou of Mingcheng, Mingcheng is located in the northwest generation, and has always been blessed by the Hantong Army. Therefore, Ran Chenglin came out to testify, and his testimony was immediately recognized as credible and became an important material for Pei Xietang's conviction.
Pei Xie Tang remembered this person, not only because he testified that he was corrupt and took bribes, but also because this person was her cousin.
Her mother was lonely when she was young and fostered in her cousin's house, and this Ran Chenglin was the second son of her cousin's family. Later, his mother and father got married, and Pei Yongjun rose step by step, becoming the right-hand man of the founding emperor of the Eastern Continent. My mother thanked her cousin's family for her kindness and recommended several cousins.
Ran Chenglin was idle when he was a teenager and had no real skills, Pei Yongjun was afraid that he would make a mistake, so he found him an idle job in the Taishou Mansion of Jiling City.
Unexpectedly, Ran Chenglin didn't have any real skills, but he was very good at patting on the back, and one year he sent something to Pei Yongjun to Beijing, and somehow he got the blue eyes of the prime minister at that time and was promoted to Mingcheng as a county magistrate. Within three years, he was promoted to Taishou.
Pei Yongjun was originally worried that he would mistake Mingcheng's disciples, and stared at Mingcheng for a few years, but when he saw that although he was mediocre, he didn't make any big trouble, so he slowly relaxed.
This person stayed in the position of Mingcheng Taishou for eleven years, and there was no progress after that.
And his brother Ran Chengjin has been staying in Jiling City, serving in the northwest, and is now the general of Anbei of the Northwest Hantong Army. Seeing that his brother with the same mother has become a general admired by everyone, and he is not famous, Ran Chenglin's heart is inevitably unbalanced, and even at a gathering of officials in the northwest, he publicly questioned Pei Yongjun, saying that he treated himself unfairly and did not find a good job for himself. Ran Chengjin persuaded him not to make trouble unreasonably, and Ran Chenglin also insulted his brother for being a dog of Pei Yongjun, and at the banquet, several people broke up unhappily.
Later, Pei Yongjun died, Pei Xie Tang took over the helm of the Han Bronze Army, and Ran Chenglin came to Jiling City to give a gift, thinking that she was easy to handle, so he pressed her as a cousin on the spot, wanting her to promote herself to the Northwest Army as a counselor.
At that time, Pei Xie Tang refused, Ran Chenglin left angrily, and said cruel words when he left: "I don't rely on your Pei family, I can fly on the branches, let's see!" ”
