Chapter 161: Broken Reputation (Part II)
Xue Chongyi hurriedly arrived at the small teahouse, the little guy next to him put away the rain gear, Xue Chongyi was led to a secluded seat by the shopkeeper who welcomed the guests, Xue Chongyi looked around while walking, the small teahouse was empty, and the two runners stood at the door yawning, but they didn't pay attention to the outside.
Xue Chongyi knocked at the door, and as soon as he put his hand down, someone inside opened the door. That person has a bit of might, a pair of big apricot eyes, rich lips, full of dark color, seeing Xue Chongyi smiled slightly, "Brother Xue, why is he here now." ”
Xue Chongyi was worried about Zhong Zhong, and such a private meeting also made him a little nervous, so he smiled at Chang Ningbo, who opened the door, and when he entered the room, he saw Prince Zhuang in the seat at a glance.
Prince Zhuang Zhou Yanning, among these princes, Prince Zhuang and the saint look the most similar, the eyebrows and eyes on the white face are clear, the slight smile reveals a bit of affinity, the gestures are full of luxury, although there is majesty but people feel very close to him, the saint has never stopped praising him, especially in recent years, from the palace to reward continuously, in front of the civil and military officials several times praise, Prince Zhuang Zhou Yanning is a man of filial piety, even to see the envoy of friends from all over the world, is also accompanied by Prince Zhuang.
Even if the saint has never mentioned the matter of establishing a prince, look at this Miaotouzhuang Prince Zhuang will ascend to the throne in ten years.
Although Xue Chongyi had met with Prince Zhuang a lot, it was the first time that such a private meeting was the first time, and he didn't dare to be careless, so he stepped forward and respectfully bowed.
Prince Zhuang smiled: "From my aunt's side, I should call you brother." ”
Xue Chongyi bent down and said, "How dare you, how dare you." ”
Prince Zhuang asked Xue Chongyi to sit down, and the little guy outside came in to pour water for Prince Zhuang, Chang Ningbo, and Xue Chongyi, and then bowed down, and with the sound of footsteps getting farther and farther, Xue Chongyi asked the hand-made version of this article that was first published in the 55ab community to get down to business.
"Our family Mingrui doesn't know what happened, and after the Holy Lord's inner servant took the coupon, there was no news of him......"
Prince Zhuang didn't speak, and Chang Ningbo said beside him: "The Holy Lord found an empty room next to the inner chamber, and let Wu Muhou stay inside, and there were no orders to stay, and there were only two chamberlains standing at the door. How should you? ”
Xue Chongyi didn't understand the meaning of this, and hurriedly asked Prince Zhuang for help.
Prince Zhuang said: "I entered the palace and interceded with my father, after all, the Xue family is not an ordinary noble, and there is a relationship between my aunt and mother, my father's meaning is to let the chamberlain give the voucher to Wu Muhou, if Wu Muhou takes the voucher back, and takes off the errand of supervising the defense, it is natural to punish the big admonition, if Wu Muhou refuses to take the voucher back, the errand of supervising the defense still has to be done to the end, and you can also go to the door of Taihe to ask for the holy oracle." ”
Chang Ningbo said: "It seems that Wu Muhou is going to take this errand to the end." Prince Zhuang's gentle face also showed a trace of regret.
Xue Chongyi's heart sank, and he gritted his teeth, it didn't matter if Xue Mingrui lost his title, and let the entire Xue family follow him......
Prince Zhuang said: "The old minister Chen Ran's family has already set up a spiritual shed, and I don't know how many civil and military officials have gone to mourn, if it is really not good in this limelight...... The whole thing is going to be ......"
If it comes to the Xue family, not only Xue Mingrui will be implicated at that time, and he will not be able to raise his head in the Ministry of Industry.
Xue Chongyi's face kept changing, "But after all, Old Master Chen committed suicide because of this incident, even if Ming Rui got off the errand, in front of everyone, the saint could not show favoritism, and our Xue family would still inevitably be punished." ”
Chang Ningbo glanced at Xue Chongyi, "Wu Mu Ant Hand Fight Regiment is the first time that the Marquis is still holding the military attache from the second grade, even if it is exempted, it must be exempted from here, and then the title, no matter what, at least the hereditary title is kept,"
Xue Chongyi came back to his senses after a stir, Mingrui has no title, as long as the hereditary title of the Xue family is still there, and Mingrui has no children, according to the rules, they can attack the lord in the second room.
Xue Chongyi thought in his heart, his mother had always been close to the Queen Mother, and the only way to do this was to invite his mother into the palace to plead with the Queen Mother, except for Mingrui's errand......
Xue Chongyi made up his mind and hurriedly bid farewell to Prince Zhuang and Chang Ningbo.
Prince Zhuang kindly instructed Xue Zhenyi, "The things in the palace should not be easily told to others, even what I said just now is not clear to ordinary people." ”
Xue Chongyi knew that it was powerful, and after being reminded by Prince Zhuang like this, he made up his mind that he couldn't tell the old lady as it was.
As soon as Xue Chongyi left, Chang Ningbo Bo sent Prince Zhuang to the carriage sent by the palace, and he returned to the private room.
Chang Ningbo pushed open the door, and there was already one more person in the room.
Shangshu Shi Mian of the Ministry of Industry sat in his seat with a gloomy face, as if he did not notice that Chang Ningbo had gone and returned.
Chang Ningbo said: "Brother Shi has heard what he said just now, what else is there to worry about, when Xue Chongyi goes back and invites the eldest princess, Brother Shi's matter will naturally be solved." ”
Xue Mingrui wanted to blow up the embankment that had been newly built by the imperial court in recent years, and he knew best how this embankment was built. How much explosives can be used to make this supposedly strong embankment that cost a lot of money to build by the imperial court collapse in an instant, Xue Mingrui will not think about it? The Holy Church doesn't ask? What else does he have to say in front of everyone's eyes? I can't hide the things that are greedy for ink.
The embankment was blown open, and I don't know how many people were crushed. Ants play the group for the first time chapter hand hit
Originally, as soon as the flood season passed, the embankment had to be repaired again, and some things could not be investigated.
Xue Mingrui was originally a supervising errand, but he had to do so much.
Fortunately, the son of the old minister Chen Ran owes him a life, otherwise Chen Ran would have no way out to commit suicide, let alone the current tense situation.
Now it's either you or I die.
Shi Mian glanced at Chang Ningbo, "I heard that Xue Chongyi still wants to marry you?" ”
Chang Ningbo smiled slightly, "I was going to tell the little girl to Wu Muhou, but the Xue family chose the Tao family as their in-laws." ”
Shi Mian asked, "Which potter?" ”
Chang Ningbo Bo said: "Zhejiang Shilang Tao Zheng'an." ”
Shi Mian couldn't help but sneer, "Wu Muhou should also rest," he said, "There are things without beads, others ignore him, but he comes to the door by himself." ”
Chang Ningbo took out a pot of good wine from the cabinet and poured it on it. Do not be angry with the world. Shi Mian drank three glasses of wine in a row, "Xue Chongyi's in-laws can marry the son of the eldest princess, so it is better to be a dog by your side." ”
Chang Ningbo also laughed.
Rong Hua was listening to Shi Chuanyi in the house about how much rice and grain Zhuangzi had raised.
Rong Hua said: "If you can't transport it, you can distribute it nearby, and you want to save people, so you don't care what it looks like." ”
Shi Chuan nodded a little, through yesterday's events, he had a little more respect for this young lady in his heart. The long-term workers and tenants made a fuss, and the young lady did not suppress it without asking about the situation, nor did she panic because of it, but asked him to find out, and Siwei and Shi quickly calmed down the whole thing.
Originally, the old lady asked him to help the young lady, but he was reluctant in his heart, but now he felt in his heart that the old lady had many servants around him, and he would not be looked down upon in this situation.
As soon as Shi Chuanyi went out, Jinxiu led Xiangyu in, and Xiangyu stepped forward to salute Rong Hua, "The old lady said that the second master is back, please come over with the young lady." ”
It's about discussing Xue Mingrui!
Rong Hua asked Xiangyu to go back to the old lady first, changed her clothes and took Chunyao and Jinxiu to the old lady's house.
It has been raining heavily for three days and three nights, and there is still no sign of stopping.
There was water in the courtyard, but fortunately, there were still a lot of corridors in Xue's mansion, Rong Hua took people through the corridor, and then walked along the corridor to the old lady's house, where Mrs. Xue and the second wife had already taken their seats. Rong Hua saluted and sat down beside Mrs. Xue.
Mrs. Xue held her handkerchief tightly and saw that Rong Hua's fingers loosened slightly. Rong Hua and Yishuang accompanied her for a long time last night, and in the evening, Rong Hua and Yishuang lived in her house, she used to be under so much pressure alone, but now Mingrong and Yishuang have grown up, and they married Rong Hua back, no matter what, it shouldn't be worse than the previous incident, Mrs. Xue sighed in her heart, the old lady was right, the old and the young have not yet reached the point of panic, but she ...... No matter how you say that Rong Hua is a child, she should comfort her.
Second Mrs. Xue pursed her lips tightly and looked at all the people in the house, there was an accident at home, and everyone's faces were not good-looking, and Xue Mingrui didn't send back half a sentence, no one could figure out what the situation was. Thinking of the appearance of Xue Chongyi when he came back just now, his eyes were red, his brows were furrowed, and he didn't know what he was thinking, could it be that this matter really reached the point of no return?
Xue Chongyi changed his clothes and came over, sat next to the old lady and talked about the affairs of the court, this article was first published in the 55ab community, "The old minister Chen Ran committed suicide, the atmosphere in the court was more tense than usual, the emperor asked about Qin Tianjian, and Qin Tianjian was also vague about the current rain in the court," Xue Chongyi frowned tightly, and then said, "The emperor asked about the rain like this, the water level of the embankment is rising higher and higher, what will happen, the official in charge of defense of the Ministry of Industry still said that the water level has not reached the highest point in previous years, and there will be no problems with the embankment......" Xue Chongyi said and glanced at the old lady, "We don't understand this matter, Ming Rui just believes in the words of the Shen family, after all, there are very few floods in the capital, besides, it is simple to let the people move, in case it is not done well, it will be used......" Xue Chongyi raised his head The old lady, "Mother, you forgot that Su Xiyao's case led to the remnants of the previous dynasty who caused chaos in the capital." ”
Rong Hua glanced at Xue Chongyi, Xue Zhengyi would actually mention the chaos in the capital last time, instead of comforting the old lady, he deliberately picked up some serious things, so are the following words ......
Xue Chongyi deliberately looked around at the people in the room and lowered his voice, "There are still some words coming from the palace." A look of embarrassment appeared on his face, as if he didn't know whether to say it or not.
The old lady frowned and said in a low voice, "What do you have to say. Just say it! ”
Xue Chongyi said: "Some people explain that Rui Jijing has been detained, there are many students of Chen Ran in the court, and they are not willing to spare Chen Ran's death, and some people have already convicted Ming Rui of several major crimes, depending on the emperor's meaning, in order to give a warning to the nobles, it is indispensable to convict." ”
Mrs. Xue's face turned pale all of a sudden, Rong Hua hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab Mrs. Xue, Mrs. Xue's hand was cold, and her own hand was not warm, although she had already prepared in her heart, and always warned herself not to panic in case of trouble, but who could be calm when she heard the words of this ant hand group for the first time.
When the old lady heard this, she also sank her face, the wrinkles on her face seemed to be much deeper, and she didn't say a word for a long time, not knowing what she was thinking.
Xue Chongyi said: "Mother, my son is thinking, at this juncture, can my mother enter the palace and beg the queen mother," said earnestly, "Even if our family doesn't want anything, at least we must keep Mingrui." ”
Hearing this, Rong Hua couldn't help but raise her head again and look at Xue Chongyi carefully, she never thought that her second uncle could say such a thing.
The second wife was also stunned, turned her head to look at her husband, and after the old lady was surprised, her gaze at Xue Chongyi softened, and she slowly spoke: "How do you think you should tell the queen mother about this?" ”
Xue Chongyi thought about it carefully, "My son has thought about it, and there is no need to say anything else after my mother enters the palace, as long as I resign for Mingrui to supervise the defense work, there is no need to say anything about the coupons, if the emperor wants to take it away, we can't stop it." I just hope that the Queen Mother can say a word for Mingrui and let Mingrong come back with her mother, no matter what, the safety is guaranteed first, and it is not too late to talk about other things later," After saying this, Xue Zhenyi looked at the old lady deeply, "Mother, you can't hesitate at the critical moment, Xing Ze is going to ...... It's too late to regret it! ”
The last few seemed to touch the old lady, and the old lady's whole person suddenly shook.
Rong Hua looked over and saw remorse in the old lady's eyes. The old lady looked over here, Rong Hua only felt that Mrs. Xue's fingers kept tightening and holding her in pain, Rong Hua involuntarily turned her head to look, Mrs. Xue's eyes looked at the old lady tightly, her eyes were extremely urgent.
The old lady thought about it carefully and said, "Okay, I'll find a way to hand the sign into the palace to see the emperor ant hand play group for the first time chapter hand hit the queen mother." ”
Rong Hua felt a lightness in his hand, and Mrs. Xue's fingers loosened. Mrs. Xue seemed to be relieved, and she inevitably felt sad in her heart, if it wasn't for the old lady's refusal to agree to accompany the capital, maybe Chongli would not have died. On the day King Xuan was imprisoned, the old lady should have thought that she should not have anything to do with King Xuan anymore, if it weren't for the old lady still delusional that King Xuan's power might resurge, the entire Xue family would not be like this.
Rong Hua turned his head, just collided with the old lady's gaze, Rong Hua didn't think carefully about the meaning of the old lady's gaze, Mother Li outside hurriedly came in and said: "Everyone in the palace was shocked, hurriedly packed up their clothes, the old lady was waiting in the house, and Xue Chongyi took the lead to welcome him out."
There are still two chamberlains, one of them seems to be very familiar with the old lady when he sees it, and he stepped forward to ask for peace, so he said politely: "It's nothing, it's just that the queen mother explained it and invited Mrs. Wu Muhou to enter the palace," he said, turning his head to look at the young Mrs. Wu Muhou next to him, Xue Tao, "By the way, bring a change of clothes for Wu Muhou." ”
Looking at the attendant's meaningful gaze and thinking carefully about what it was, he didn't even let him leave the palace, and seemed to be extra open to invite his family to visit and bring a change of clothes, is it possible...... Mrs. Xue suddenly fainted for a moment.
After reading the messages of my relatives, I was very moved, it turned out that there were so many of the same thoughts as me. I've been very industrious lately, so everyone gave me a little red flower to wear, blushing.
