184 Gift-giving
"Send Concubine Li back to the palace." The emperor was very impatient.
Everything must be paid attention to speaking with facts, it is impossible for him to be swayed by Wang Linzhi in major national affairs because he loves her.
Concubine Li was soon carried out by two chamberlains.
"You say, how did the murderer get into the harem? Why did the Guards have assassins in them? Emperor Changsheng asked.
How dare Feng Huchen answer this casually, he can only stand with his waist hunched and his shoulders arched.
However, Emperor Changsheng quickly realized his mistake, in the final analysis, he still blamed himself, even if he wanted to make up for King Ning, he should not hand over the Xiao cavalry guard to the prince of Ning Wang, otherwise it would not have become the current situation where it is difficult to ride a tiger.
Fortunately, King Ning is a person who knows and tastes, and soon became ill at home, and as soon as the prince of King Ning went back to serve the sick, this errand would be delivered, and he would be a clan relative who was waiting for death in the future.
As for the crown prince and the second prince, the errands were also discharged, and they were directly detained in the East Palace and the Second Prince's Mansion.
The power to control the six palaces returned to Concubine Wu Hui.
But after all, the Wu family is not as good as before, not to mention that there is no secret economic source, but it has been hated by the enemy, and all the Wu brothers were killed in the mansion.
Emperor Changsheng had already issued an edict as early as last year, asking all the Wu family to marry and guard filial piety in front of the tomb of Mrs. Wei, but where could any of the family members endure hardship?
After living in a thatched house for a few days, he moved back to the Wu family early on the grounds that he needed to worship his ancestors on the winter solstice.
Because the Wu family has a favorite concubine, there is no such blinding initiative to poke this matter to Emperor Changsheng, and the matter is over.
It's a pity that on the night of the wedding of the Seventh Prince, Concubine Wu Hui's two brothers and Wu Erniang all died in their own homes.
Emperor Changsheng was furious and issued an order to investigate the matter.
But since the Wu family began to secretly manipulate An Park, I don't know how many things they have done that have made people bankrupt, their wives separated, and their husbands and wives discordant. When the Wu family case was talked about in the market, many people directly clapped their hands and applauded, claiming that it was "a cycle of heavenly principles, and retribution is unpleasant"; Some people also think that in a peaceful and prosperous world, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are people who have lost their conscience so much that they should severely punish the murderer.
Liu Shangshu showed his strength, and in just a few days, he found clues from the mouths of the Wu family, and quickly caught the person, but the person insisted that the matter was instigated by the people around the prince, and Liu Shangshu wanted to report to Emperor Changsheng to close the case.
The Xue family was as anxious as ants on a hot pot when they got the news, and they didn't know what to do.
Just like the arson murder case in An Park, it has nothing to do with the prince's family, but in the end, the perpetrator insisted that it was Concubine Li who bought the murder.
It's as if someone behind it is specifically manipulating this.
Mrs. Xue sighed, "It would be good if someone in our court said that he would move the imperial history, impeach Liu Shangshu for using power for personal gain, deliberately defile the prince, and ask the three divisions to try the case of the Wu family." ”
Old Madam Xue naturally understands this reason, "Recently, the dragon has been in poor health, and the emperor has not been to the court for several days!" ”
However, it was spread everywhere in the capital, saying that the prince was not satisfied with Concubine Hui's return to the harem, and in order to avenge Concubine Li, he deliberately took revenge on the Wu family, and said that the prince was narrow-minded and would be revenged...... Some ministers even began to write to demand the re-establishment of the crown prince.
Old Madam Xue really had no choice, "You visit the county lord of Langya." ”
Mrs. Xue was very moved.
According to Xue Qingyun's description, Wang Linzhi seems to be more favored than the princess in the palace, maybe there is really a way?
At this time, it is the time to get out of school, and it is just right to go to the princess's mansion.
Mrs. Xue packed up, brought a few boxes of pastries and went over.
After the two sides finished saluting, Mrs. Xue spoke: "The princess has gone to another place now, if the county lord feels lonely, you can go to our mansion to play, our lady often thinks of you." ”
Wang Linzhi smiled and nodded casually, "I will definitely go over when I have time." When I was returning from the road, I suddenly heard a funny thing. ”
After not getting to the point for so long, Mrs. Xue couldn't help but feel a little anxious, but she had to follow Wang Linzhi's words and ask.
"I heard that Chen Yushi's mother, Mrs. Chen, has entered Beijing, and now she needs the old ginseng of the previous year to continue her life, and people say that the Chen family's house is dark and damp, and the light is not good, which will aggravate Mrs. Chen's illness, but unfortunately his family is too poor to change to a big house, and he can't afford to buy old ginseng. Chen Yushi is such a big official, do you say that his family will be so poor? Wang Linzhi covered her mouth and smiled.
Chen Yushi, the doctor of the Imperial Historical Observatory, was the highest supervisory official of the Imperial Historical Observatory of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
If the old lady of the Chen family really needs the old ginseng of the previous year, the Xue family will definitely be able to get it, as long as this gift is given, the prince will be saved!
Mrs. Xue stood up hurriedly, "Thank you to the county lord for telling me about this, I have to go back and arrange it quickly, and when this matter is over, I will come to disturb the county lord again." ”
Wang Linzhi nodded slightly and got up to see off the guests.
Mrs. Xue went back to Xue's house and hurriedly told her mother-in-law about it.
Mrs. Xue asked her daughter-in-law to find Wang Linzhi, thinking that the other party would start from the palace, but Wang Linzhi started from Chen Yushi's house.
But as long as Mrs. Chen's need for Lao Ginseng to continue her life is publicized, I am afraid that countless people will rush to give ginseng to his family, but Chen Yushi is very honest and will definitely not accept it, so not many people know about this matter, right?
The Xue family has recently taken great pains to talk to those imperial historians, but how can Chen Yushi be seen by ordinary people? The Xue family wants to give gifts, but they are afraid of self-defeating. stopped on the way to Chen Yushi's court, and people didn't look at her. Let the next person inquire, and all the news sent back is useless.
Mrs. Chen was born in a famous family, and Mrs. Chen has always had a good relationship with Mrs. Xue, but Mrs. Xue did not dare to ask her for help. Because officialdom has always had its own position, in case she opened her mouth but Mrs. Chen did not agree, it would be very embarrassing for the two to meet again in the future, so if there is no more than fifty percent certainty, your lady will generally not speak.
Mrs. Xue was so anxious that her hair fell out in a bunch, and there was nothing she could do.
Unexpectedly, the Xue family couldn't wait to dig the ground and didn't get the news, but Wang Linzhi just knew.
Mrs. Xue didn't care about the authenticity of this matter, so she opened the treasury and took out a three-hundred-year-old ginseng, packed it herself, and brought a deed not far from the Chen family's house, and went to the Chen family in a hurry.
Mrs. Chen received her.
After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Mrs. Xue took out the deed, "My house has been empty, and now that something has happened at home, I want to rent out the house first, more or less, it can be regarded as some income, it is better than sitting on a mountain and eating empty, it just happens that this house is very close to Mrs. 's house, and I ask Mrs. to help me pay more attention to it." ”
Mrs. Chen knows the Xue family's house, which faces south and north, spacious and bright, while the Chen family's house faces north and south and just faces away from the Xue family.
"How do you want to rent it?"
Mrs. Xue: "Just follow the nearby market, one tael of silver a month." ”
This market can usually be rented, but this year is the period of Dabi, and the people who enter Beijing are like crossing the river, and it is difficult to rent a room.
"Then it's better to rent it to our house, our old lady only came from her hometown today, and she dislikes that our house is not bright enough, and she has been chattering." Mrs. Chen smiled bitterly.
Mrs. Xue nodded very understandingly, "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, my old man, spends silver every day like flowing water, and the day before yesterday I wrote a letter asking for 20,000 yuan, I am now poor, I have sold a lot of family property, and I still have an old ginseng in my hand, Mrs. also helped me find a buyer, I am anxious to use the silver, because it has been put for a long time, it is cheaper, and it is sold for three hundred taels." "There have been wars at the border for many years, and if the Marquis of Changxing can't raise military salaries, it is understandable to find a family to temporarily relieve his urgent needs.
But the Chen family lacks these things!
Gift-giving should also be skillful, calculated just right, and made impossible to refuse.
After Mrs. Xue finished speaking, she chatted casually and then left.
