Hearing the little eunuch's words, Sun Xiang opened his mouth and said, "In this way, the chief manager can rest assured." The forces in the palace are intertwined, don't forget that Gonggong Cao is eyeing us here, if you poke out a basket for Cao Jixiang to know, I'm afraid that the chief manager won't be able to save you. When you return to the palace, you have to do it yourself. ”

The little eunuch hurriedly replied: "Chief Sun's golden and jade good words, the little one must keep it in mind, and never dare to forget it in the slightest, and when there is no one, he will repeat it so as not to forget." ”

Hearing the little eunuch say this, Sun Xiangyong was amused by him, so he spoke: "This is not necessary, it is just a word or two of advice, but the loyalty is good for the ear, this father-in-law is willing to talk to you like this, but also think that you are a rare and manufacturable material, whether it is a change of opportunity and temperament, this father-in-law can still look at it, if this father-in-law is not there, the emperor will not have a character like you to succeed this father-in-law will rest assured." So boy, don't let down your father-in-law's good intentions. ”

Seeing Sun Xiang's words, the little eunuch said: "Don't worry, as long as Manager Sun tells you in the future, no matter what kind of thing you do, the little one will do it with all your heart." If it is not enough, Mr. Sun will have eternal years, and the kid must also want to serve Mr. Sun as well as his closest relatives. ”

Sun Xiang nodded slightly and said, "Okay, if you have such a thought in your heart, Sun can also be comforted." In any case, after returning to the palace this time, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, say less and think more, and don't be reckless, lest Cao Jixiang catch the sore foot, which can be busy. ”

"Mr. Sun, please rest assured." The little eunuch spoke.

After the two talked for a while, Sun Xiangyong took the eunuch to enter the palace from the Xihua Gate of the Jiaomen Gate and returned to the palace.

After returning to the palace, Sun Xiangyong sent the little eunuch back to rest first, and went to see Zhu Qizhen to tell him about the Shiheng Mansion and his party.

Zhu Qizhen heard Xu Youzhen reveal Shi Heng's love cheats during the day, and after getting angry, he was quite depressed in his heart.

After seeing Sun Xiao's return, Zhu Qizhen first asked the eunuchs and palace maids who were waiting in front of him to go down, and then said to Sun Xiao: "Sun Xiangyong, you are back, how is Shi Heng there?" ”

As soon as Sun Xiang entered the hall, he invited Zhu Qizhen to Chang'an, knelt on the ground and immediately opened his mouth to Zhu Qizhen and said: "Holy Lord, Shi Heng didn't argue, it seems that things are really as Xu Youzhen said, Shi Heng did send 100,000 taels of silver to Xu Youzhen's house." ”

When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he snorted coldly and said: "I am not very worried about Shi Heng's bribery, but I am worried that Shi Heng actually dares to disobey me. ”

Hearing Zhu Qizhen's words, Sun Xiang replied with a convenient interface: "The Holy Master knows thousands of miles, and on this basis, Shi Heng is also his heart. ”

"His heart can be punished, yes, that's exactly what he said. It is said that this Shi Heng was promoted by me, if it wasn't for me to give him trust and military power, how could he Shi Heng be a martial artist, how could he have made great achievements and held such a high position. I didn't expect such a person to be a little disobedient to me right now, and when I think of this, I feel a little chill in my heart. In this way, the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and there are still a few people I can rely on. Zhu Qizhen said worriedly.

Hearing Zhu Qizhen's words, Sun Xiang opened his mouth and said: "What the emperor said is very true, if Shi Heng is guilty of disobeying the holy will, it is already an unforgivable sin. Not enough, judging from the current situation, the emperor can't use this to clean up Shi Heng. ”

Hearing Sun Xiangyong's words, Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but feel a little strange, so he opened his mouth and said: "Sun Xiangyong, your words have far-reaching intentions, why can't you depose Shi Heng." ”

Sun Xiangyong is Zhu Qizhen's confidant in the palace, when Zhu Qizhen is undecided on foreign affairs, sometimes he has to listen to his ideas, and now that he heard Sun Xiangyong throw out such an idea, Zhu Qizhen is naturally very strange, so he asked for details.

Hearing Sun Xiang's words, Jian Huaizhen spoke: "Judging from the current situation, the border pass is not peaceful, and a lot of generals are still needed to guard it. The emperor should also remember that most of the military generals in the court are from Shi Heng's account, if the saint deposes Shi Heng now, I am afraid that it will cause a shock at the border pass, and in this way, Waiyi will have a devouring heart, which will be very unfavorable to our court. ”

Zhu Qizhen groaned slightly when he heard this, and then said to Sun Xiang with an open mouth: "What Sun Xiangyong said is not bad at all, and I didn't think of it, but Shi Heng's actions simply didn't take me seriously. At first, he repeatedly asked me to blackmail the people who couldn't beat him, and I was quite affectionate and agreed, but I didn't expect that later there would be no courtesy. ”

Sun Xiangyong heard Zhu Qizhen's words, so he replied: "Saint, Shi Heng is not incurable, but it is not the case at the moment. ”

Hearing Sun Xiangyong's words, Zhu Qizhen pondered for a long time before he slowly spoke: "If this is the case, when can Shi Heng be cured?" ”

Zhu Qizhen said this, Sun Xiang didn't dare to make his own assertions, so he said to Zhu Qizhen: "The Sacred Heart required for this matter is arbitrary, and it is definitely not something that his subordinates can say. However, from the current point of view, the time is not yet ripe to deal with Shi Heng. ”

When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he opened his mouth and said: "This is not bad, the chaos has not been peaceful for a long time, and stability is still the first priority for now." ”

Sun Xiang heard Zhu Qizhen's words, and he already knew in his heart that what he had just said had moved Zhu Qizhen and made him change his attitude.

After Tianxin returned, Sun Xiang said with a convenient interface: "Holy Lord, today's slave mouth." Han Tianxian went to Shi Heng's mansion to announce the decree, Shi Heng was extremely cooperative, and he also had the heart of repentance, the saint might as well give him a chance first, first, to calm his heart, and second, to maintain the side court, which is as solid as a rock. ”

When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he said to Sun Xiang with an open mouth: "What the emperor said is very true, and from the current situation, this is the case. The ancients said that if you are outside, you must first settle inside, not to mention that at present, you can do one less thing. ”

Hearing Sun Xiang's words, Zhu Qizhen had already accepted his admonition, Zhu Qizhen was captured by Waiyi before, and suffered a lot during this period. In my heart, I still attach great importance to the affairs of the side court, although after Yu Qian's death, Waiyi heard the news and had the intention of getting involved again, but fortunately, the soldiers trained by Yu Qian are still there, and they can still support it.

If it was because of Shi Heng's incident, Waiyi would be able to drive straight in, and it would really not be worth it.

After Zhu Qizhen had this thought, he fully accepted Sun Xiangyong's opinion.

Then he asked Shi Heng what he should do, and it was finally unsatisfactory, and Zhu Qizhen was almost angry with Shi Heng and vented, so he just left it at that.

A few days passed suddenly, and the news of Shi Heng's punishment spread in the court.

Li Xian took this opportunity to secretly send someone to buy off a cell boss in Li Kelin's prison for 100 taels of silver, and asked the cell boss to explain this matter to Li Kelin intentionally or without opinion.

The cell boss got a hundred taels of silver out of thin air, and when he saw that the other party's entrustment was so easy, he naturally agreed.

That day, the cell boss came to Li Kelin with prison lunch.

When Li Kelin took over the prison lunch, the cell boss said intentionally or unintentionally: "Li Gongzi, have you heard of any news from outside?" ”

Li Kelin heard the cell boss's words, and couldn't help but shake his head a little blankly.

The cell boss then spoke: "Don't hide it from the son, it is related to Lord Shi Heng." ”

Hearing what the cell boss said, Li Kelin opened his mouth extremely nervously and asked: "Brother cell boss, you are doing well, tell me the news quickly." ”

When the cell leader heard this, he nodded and said, "I heard from my colleagues that a few days ago, Lord Shi Heng was reprimanded by the emperor's decree, and he was sentenced to one year, and he was ordered to think about it at home for a month. ”

Li Kelin was even more nervous, and hurriedly spoke: "But, isn't Lord Shi Heng the Holy Grace?" ”

The cell boss replied: "Holy Lady Zhenglong, what year is that old yellow calendar, let me tell you quietly." Lord Shi Heng gave 100,000 taels of silver to Lord Xu Youzhen for your business, hoping that Lord Xu could raise his noble hand and let you live. As a result, Lord Xu Youzhen felt that this matter was inappropriate, so he handed over the 100,000 taels of bribes given by Lord Shi to the emperor, but the emperor was furious, so he sent a decree to reprimand Lord Shi, and punished him for a year, and ordered him to think about it at home for a month, and even the title of the prince of the country was taken away. And Lord Xu Youzhen was rewarded by the emperor, and the emperor gave him a gold medal for avoiding death, and used the 100,000 taels of silver she handed over for disaster relief, which is now a clear decree. ”

Li Kelin's heart was shocked when he heard this, and he only heard a clang, and the porcelain bowl in his hand fell to the hard ground and fell into several petals.

The cell boss didn't expect Li Kelin's reaction to be so big, so he said: "Li Gongzi, how can you be so careless." Hey, it looks like your bad luck is really coming. ”

With that, the cell boss departed.

Li Kelin's heart was extremely sad, he didn't expect that things would develop like this.

Originally, Li Kelin thought that with Shi Heng behind him, he only needed to stay in the cell for a few days before he could come out.

But now, the emperor has to do himself again.

Since the bribery was revealed, the emperor was furious, and also reprimanded Shi Heng, fined him for one year, and ordered him to think about it at home for a month, and the emperor's mind was clearly revealed.

The emperor didn't want Shi Heng to get involved in rescuing his nephew.

Having said so, the emperor wants to send someone to cut off his head.

Thinking of this terrible thought in his heart, Li Kelin couldn't help but tremble.

Li Kelin was originally mediocre, and he was able to divide the soil and be able to take office, because Shi Heng said good things in front of the emperor.

But as things stand, things have come to a very bad point.

Li Kelin only felt in his heart that the emperor was doing this, and he clearly wanted to put himself to death.

The husband's grief is greater than the death of his heart, Li Kelin thought of this, and already had the idea of committing suicide.

Li Kelin subconsciously looked down, and there happened to be a golden wrench in his hand.

Speaking of which, this golden wrench was given to him by Shi Heng when he practiced riding and archery when he was a teenager, but Li Kelin thought that Shi Heng was already a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and he could not save himself from the group.

After all, the emperor is the king of a country, and even if the minister wants to disobey, there is no way to change the emperor's mind.

After Li Kelin fell into a deep loss, he felt in his heart that there was no way to live in this life. Even if you live, you will still die in the end.

After having such a thought in his heart, Li Kelin took off the golden wrench in his hand and swallowed it in one gulp......

The news of Li Kelin's death soon spread to Shi Heng's mansion, and after Shi Heng heard the news, he couldn't help but stand still for a long time, and then only silently let Pegasus inform his sister who was far away in the nunnery about the news.

After Shi Min learned the news, he immediately fainted.

The maids woke Shi Min up, and Shi Min said, "Prepare the car and go to Jingshi." ”

After Shi Min rushed to the Shi Mansion in a hurry, he came to meet Shi Heng, who had thought about it.

"Did Lin'er really have an accident?" The first sentence of the meeting, Shi Min blurted out.

"Nephew, he's gone." Shi Heng can't hide it.

"Lin'er, how did he die?"

"According to the people in the cell, they committed suicide by swallowing gold."

After verifying the news again from Shi Heng's mouth, Shi Min cried and grabbed the ground.

"My Lin'er." Shi Min cried extremely sadly.

Shi Heng hurriedly persuaded him from the side, hoping that she could mourn and change.

But I never thought that Shi Min would faint after crying for a while.

Shi Heng hurriedly stepped forward to visit, only to see Shi Min motionless, as if he had passed out, Shi Heng saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to visit.

After a snort, there was no breath at all, and Shi Heng was a little panicked when he was such a sister.

Hurriedly ordered the people in the house to find the doctor.

Shi Heng ordered people to summon him, and those doctors naturally did not dare to slack off, and soon came over with Shifu's family.

After coming, Shi Heng ordered the doctor to treat his sister.

The doctor invited was naturally a well-known doctor in the Jingshi, and after taking Shi Min's pulse, he spoke to Shi Heng: "Lord Shi, I won't tell you that Sister Ling has had a stroke, and this kind of wind medicine stone is ineffective, so I have to recuperate, in order to be able to recover from the auspicious nature." ”

Hearing the doctor's words, Shi Heng said: "Doctor, how could my sister have a stroke all of a sudden, you can't talk nonsense." If you talk about it and delay my sister's illness, Shi Heng will never give up with you in the future. ”

Shi Heng had this threat, and the doctor naturally said: "Lord Shi, things are by no means like this, although the villain is not a master, but in terms of medical Taoism in this Jingshi, I am afraid that no one can be out of it." No matter what the situation is, Sister Ling's symptom is undoubtedly a stroke, if Lord Shi can't believe in humble medical skills, you might as well ask for another master. Sister Ling was anxious to attack her heart, so she suffered from this wind disease. ”

When Shi Heng heard this, he had to open his mouth and say, "Since that's the case, I'll believe you once today." If you don't have enough medicine, you always have to prescribe some. ”

Hearing Shi Heng's words, the doctor naturally didn't dare to refuse, so he respectfully opened his mouth to Shi Heng and said: "Yes, Lord Shi, the villain can write a potion, and in addition, he is prescribing some lists to consolidate the foundation of Peiyuan, and from the current situation, things seem to be indispensable." ”

When Shi Heng heard this, he said in a loud voice: "That's good, that's good, hurry up and drive to me to see." ”

Hearing Shi Heng's command, the doctor opened his mouth and said, "Since Lord Shi has been ordered, the villain will go to prescribe medicine first." ”

Shi Heng nodded and said, "Go and open a prescription." ”

The doctor retreated as he was told and went to prescribe a prescription.

Shi Heng and her sister were the thickest when they were young, and later they loved the house and Wu, and they also liked their nephew Li Kelin very much.

After the change of seizing the door, Shi Heng asked his nephew Li Kelin for credit in front of Zhu Qizhen several times, and finally asked Li Kelin for the official position of a feudal official, and he was able to leave the town, that is, the governor of Henan.

It's just that Shi Heng didn't expect that after his nephew Li Kelin, who was mediocre, took up the position of the new governor of Henan, he encountered a once-in-a-century locust plague, and Li Kelin, who had no experience in dealing with major politics, was naturally helpless and helpless.

In addition, Li Kelin also wanted to maintain his political voice, so he took it upon himself to hide the catastrophe from the imperial court, and really stepped forward to say a few innocuous words to the imperial court, saying that the Henan locust plague was not terrible.

Although Li Kelin concealed the disaster from the imperial court, the victims had to flee the road and seek refuge with relatives and friends because they could not survive.

Of course, the wealthy Kyoshi was a place for the victims to forage for food.

After more and more victims arrived at the soldiers, a series of incidents were introduced, and finally Zhu Qizhen knew about it.

The situation has developed into such a situation, and Shi Heng knows in his heart that he also has some responsibilities.

If he hadn't had to support this nephew out of town back then, maybe Li Kelin would still be able to live in peace with his official.

But the matter has come to this, the dead are gone, and there is no way to change it after all.

After such a thing, although Shi Heng was extremely remorseful in his heart, he couldn't change anything at all.

Today, Shi Min went to his house to ask about it, and Shi Heng was a little unable to answer.

Shi Heng was also frustrated in his heart.

The doctor quickly prescribed the prescription, and the servants in Shi Heng's mansion did not dare to slack off, and soon presented the prescription to Shi Heng for him to see.

Shi Heng carefully read the prescriptions, they were all warm medicines, and it was not a tiger and wolf's medicine, so he nodded his head in approval.

Then Shi Heng ordered the servants in the house to grab the medicine according to the prescription prescribed by the doctor.

Shi Heng had a life, and the servants in the house didn't dare to slack off, so they went to grab the medicine with a stack of voices.

After Shi Heng saw the servant leaving, he announced to the doctor from Fang Cai and asked him carefully about the matters that need to be paid attention to here.

Seeing Shi Heng's deferential performance, the doctor was a little dissatisfied in his heart, but Shi Heng was an important minister of the imperial court after all, and he really couldn't afford to offend.

Besides, the doctor has a heart to cut shares, Shi Heng's sister has a stroke now, and the doctor can't be too careful.

The doctor said to Shi Hengyan: "Lord Shi, Sister Ling's stroke must be recuperated in a secret room, and from the current situation, such a matter is extremely important. ”

Hearing the doctor's words, Shi Heng bowed to the doctor and said, "That's right, then Dr. Lao will come to my house once a day to take care of this matter." ”

Seeing Shi Heng's move, the doctor also felt that it was not bad for Shi Heng to act like a first-class member of the imperial court, so he agreed.

"My lord said that he went outside, and it is the duty of my generation to heal the sick." The doctor spoke to Shi Heng.

After the doctor agreed to the matter, Shi Heng spoke: "Doctor, this matter is troublesome. ”

Hearing Shi Heng's words, the doctor also bowed and said, "Lord Shi, rest assured, this matter is lowly and provincial." ”

After saying this, the doctor told Shi Hengyan how to deal with the matter.

Shi Heng listened and nodded repeatedly.
