Chapter 7: The Beginning of the Storm (1)
Since the time of Taizu, the Mo family has been a famous family in Dajing, and its power occupies most of the north. There are people from generation to generation of the Mo family who are ranked in Jiuqing, and there are countless officials in the court, and there are connections of the Mo family in all departments. However, it is an eternal common sense that prosperity leads to decline.
The previous head of the Mo family was very superstitious, and invited the master to watch the sky at night, because the master said: "The moon and the five stars commit a few micro stars, which is a sign of the prime minister's transposition, and this disaster may implicate the Mo family, and the Mo family will no longer enter the court as an official, so it can be resolved." From then on, he strictly ordered his descendants not to be officials.
Soon after, the current saint really raised troops, seized the throne of his brother Yongrui Emperor, and changed the name of the year to Yuanyou, and soon after, the rebellion of the Xiang Party and the case of the first assistant Gu Lin Sheng rebelled broke out, implicating most of the government and the opposition, and the situation in the entire capital was instantly covered with a layer of tragic blood. If the Mo clan was still at the center of power at that time, it would inevitably be involved in party struggles, and it was not necessarily, it would have made the right choice......
It can be seen that superstition also has the benefits of superstition.
Today, the Mo clan is completely in a corner of peace, but the wealth accumulated over several generations and the connections they have in the court are still not to be underestimated. However, I heard that the only descendant of the Mo family is now in good health, which is also the reason why the Mo family wants to recruit a son-in-law.
King Chengwu glanced at Xie Qigongzi: "How can I vaguely remember that the Mo family and your Xie family are also related by marriage?" ”
Xie Qigongzi replied casually: "It's just a distant relative, and there is no contact." The corners of his mouth hooked up and smiled lightly, "If Lord Xiao marries the Mo family, he will succeed the head of the Mo family in the future, and he will not be planted in the hands of Shen Hanxi." ”
The topic unconsciously touched the Mo family, and King Chengwu gradually became more and more distracted. After drinking a few more glasses of wine, Xie Qigongzi ordered someone to call the dancing queen to help the fun, but the third prince of Qi was afraid of the inside, and he urinated and fled without waiting for the dancing girl to come. In the warm pavilion, the sheng flute faded, Xie Qigongzi held the waist of the dancing girl and poured wine one after another, while King Chengwu fell asleep groggily with the wine jug......
The day after this casual conversation between friends, a piece of news spread throughout the entire Beijing Division, Xiao Yan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, who escaped from prison.
"Didn't you say that Tingweisi's prison was so impregnable that not even a bird could fly?"
"This Lord Xiao can escape from the Imperial Guard, he really has the ability."
"Maybe it's because God opened his eyes and couldn't stand what Ting Weisi did, but this Lord Xiao is not necessarily a good bird."
The people don't care who is right and who is wrong, as long as there is a big official who has fallen from power, they will run to tell each other, and the whole world will celebrate. However, because Ting Weisi's reputation is really bad, those who sympathize with Xiao Yan have an absolute advantage.
"Don't you have grievances? Nine times out of ten, I think it's another unjust prison. I heard that a few days ago, a Hanlin official surnamed Xu was killed by a cane at the door of the Imperial Health Division, and the second son of Xu went to Dali Temple to beat the drum and voice the grievances, and the result was beaten. The case decided by Tingwei Si, where does Dali Temple dare to take it. ”
"Shhhh
Song Ran came out of the silk village with a pile of fabrics, and in today's Ling'an City, the streets and alleys are talking about Xiao Yan's case, and even the little people in the silk village can't help but express their high opinions.
Zhong Bo followed behind her, helping her to put things in the carriage in the same way.
Recently, the weather has been getting warmer, and the warm clothes brought by me are not enough to wear, so I came to the silk village to pick up some seasonal fabrics, and planned to find a tailor to make a few new clothes.
"There is not much surplus food at home, if the price of rice in this Ling'an City is more expensive, ordinary people will not be able to afford it......"
Hearing Uncle Zhong's sigh, Song Ran couldn't help but sigh along. Looking at this Ling'an Castle, although it is a scene of prosperity and peace on the surface, I heard that in front of various temples and Taoist temples, it is crowded with homeless people waiting to put porridge every day. Even though the financial situation is tight every year, the Ministry of Industry is still building city gates and building mausoleums. The gold bricks and glazed tiles under the ground seem to be more important than the livelihood of the living. He is only in his early thirties, and he is in the prime of life, if he hadn't been blinded, he really shouldn't have been so stupid.
"Uncle Zhong, I'm going to inquire in the past few days, if there is a shop you want to transfer, the price is right, let's take it down, sit and eat, it's not a long-term solution."
"The young master and the old slave thought of a place to ......"
Before the two could continue to communicate, they were interrupted by the excited voices of the girls who were visiting the silk village together.
"Look, it's King Chengwu!"
No matter what kind of world they are in, most unmarried girls are most concerned about nothing more than rouge gouache, splendid dresses and handsome men.
What does the criminal department have to do with them? Of course, if the criminal department is very handsome, it can be a different matter. But when it comes to handsomeness, then King Chengwu, who recently entered Beijing, is really one in a million.
In the emotional exclamations of the girls, Song Ran raised his eyes. can recognize that it is King Chengwu just by a back, and the girls on the street are all good eyes.
