Volume 1 Chapter 25 Xiang Siyuan

"The slave just can't bear to see the princess wandering around."

"Isn't Lord Gu good to the princess? Why wouldn't the princess stay? ”

"The princess is gone, where else can she go?"

"Seven years ago."

Endless noises swirled in Wei Yu's mind.

Why run away? Why run away?

Because she is a princess, a bird, a phoenix for nine days, not a canary to be held at will in her hands.

She was born to come and go at will, north and south, Kyushu and the four seas...... Anywhere, she is willing to be a beggar, a homeless, a corpse in the wilderness, but no one can tie her to a palm-sized house like a dog, and even bathing and bathing is like a gift.

She would not accept such humiliation even if she died.

No matter how much Gu Jiaqing met all her needs, it was just honey wrapped in a trap, trying in vain to let her taste a little sweet, and forget the pain of the spikes piercing her body.

No matter how much you talk about lotus flowers, you can't hide the despicability of forcible seizure.

He deprived her of her freedom and directed and acted in this seemingly moving drama, but she lost the right to say no.

How can this be called "good"? It's nothing but a fraud.

What she was most estranged from Su Xin's words in her previous life was not betrayal, but her attempt to confuse right and wrong, and use "good" to blur Gu Jiaqing's crimes, whether intentionally or not, this intention was more sinister than betraying her.

Right is right, wrong is wrong, and it won't change because it's good for her.

"Don't call me Your Highness."

Wei Yu knew that she was angry, but she didn't want to worry about it so much, she was tired, whether it was in her previous life or in this life, the two betrayals were surprisingly similar, and she didn't want to see this face again in this life.

She looked condescendingly at Su Xin, whose hands were tied, and said calmly: "Your fault, Fang Xiaoxiao has already said it." Needless to say, ask yourself, if you had to do it all over again, would you still change those spices? ”

Su Xin should have said "no" without hesitation, but when she met those Qing Lingling's eyes, she didn't dare to answer for a while.

She actually knew the answer in her heart, and she would.

Even if she knew that the spice was harmful, she would think about stopping it as soon as she regained the trust of her master.

She has always been a high-minded and arrogant person, and she used to be very compatible with Wei Yu's temperament, so that she could overpower other palace maids and become Wei Yu's most trusted cronies.

She can't bear the neglect of these days, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, she will do everything possible to return to the old days.

It is human nature to seek profit, and it is not surprising to be selfish.

Wei Yu knew that there was no need to ask any further, so he waved someone in, "Suppress her so that she can be detained, don't let people kill her." ”

Although she has made people silent about this matter, it is difficult to ensure that Concubine Shu will not be able to contact her for a long time, and she will not be suspicious.

Keep this person, and there is a use for her.

"The slave maid was negligent and injured His Royal Highness's noble body, please condemn Your Highness." Dawn bowed his head.

She is also half responsible for this matter, as the palace maid in charge of Hanzhang Palace, she not only did not find out Su Xin's mistake in time, but also handed over the master's spices herself, giving Su Xin a chance.

Fortunately, the incense is not very effective, otherwise she would not be at ease even if she died.

Wei Yu helped her up and said, "I can't blame you, even this palace didn't expect Su Xin to take refuge in Concubine Shu." ”

Dawn bit her lip in shame, not knowing how she should make up for this mistake, and finally asked: "When does Your Highness plan to inform the emperor and the queen mother of such a big matter?" ”

In the past, those two true gods could still turn a blind eye to those small methods, but now Concubine Shu directly attacked the princess, it is still such a vicious method, and the queen mother and the emperor will never tolerate it.

Wei Yu thought about the next plan, smiled coldly, shook his head and said, "Don't be in a hurry for a while." ”

Concubine Shu really dared to attack her like this, of course she would not let go of this good opportunity.

She was worried that she was missing a handful of good firewood to fuel her father's anger, but she didn't expect to send it to the door by herself.

……

On the erection day, there was another major event in the DPRK.

Xiang Siyuan, the current manager of Gyeonggi who had just taken office, wrote a statement of complaint to the Inspectorate, and bitterly stated that he had been oppressed by the Jiang family before taking office, which made him suffer from rumors and ruin his reputation, and asked the Imperial History of the Inspectorate to cooperate with him to impeach the Jiang family for despising Tianwei, cronyism, dumping petty officials, and disrupting official discipline.

At the same time, he also divided his troops into two ways, taking several black sheep who helped the Jiang family spread rumors in Beijing that day, as well as confession papers and other objects, to the Criminal Department to sue the Jiang family for tarnishing the reputation of the royal family, and his heart can be punished.

If these two things happened in ordinary times, it would definitely not set off any big storms, although the charges he reported were scary, if they really wanted to investigate carefully, there was much to be done, there was no conclusive evidence to investigate deeply, it was easy to blur into a bite by the Jiang family, even if the inspectorate saw it, it may not be reasonable, but now it is a special period when the entire court civil officials are all targeting the Jiang Mansion, and it is naturally a stone that stirs up a thousand waves.

In particular, the love letter directly provoked the dispute between the Qingliu and the nobles that had always existed in the Ming Dynasty, which was to the point.

The contradiction between the poor and the noble is natural, the poor family looks down on the noble fish and the common people, and the noble does not look down on the poor family and the false Qinggao, but the fundamental reason is that the fundamental interests of the two parties are conflicting with each other.

This dynasty has been established for a long time, the family is numerous, and the descendants are luxuriant and the shade is very wide, but the court is so big, and there are so many official positions.

With the passage of time, the contradictions accumulated more and more, and the wind of party contention between the DPRK and China gradually flourished, and the two factions of Qingliu and Xungui were on the same footing, like firecrackers whose fuse was about to burn out.

The wind of party strife has been around for a long time, but it has always been like an undercurrent in the water, lurking under the calm surface of the water and brewing waves.

The reason why Jiang Pei's case caused thousands of people to point out was that, on the one hand, because he used the shadow of honors and nobles to amass a lot of money, and for his official position, the amount was really amazing, and on the other hand, it was also affected by the killing of Lin Yuan who was dressed in a boiling fashion at that time.

A dignified scholar and a seventh-rank court official, who has been studying hard for more than ten years and climbed to the official position step by step, thinking that he can change his appearance, how do you know that the powerful can easily kill him in front of the public with their fingers, how can this make people chilling?

If Xiang Siyuan mentions the charges on the side, it may not have this effect, but he directly lifted out the mountain of the Rolling Hanmen, which directly provoked the already sensitive nerves of the Qingliu civil officials.

Lin Yuan, Greedy Ink, Xiang Siyuan...... One by one, all of them relied on the Jiang family's power to bully others, which directly made the group of officials in the Inspectorate unable to hold back.

"It's just too deceitful."

"The official document for the execution of Jiang Pei is still pressed in the Qianyuan Palace, Your Majesty is so covered, how could it be done by Ming Jun?"

"Is there no way to get out of the woods? Why are these nobles so unscrupulous? ”

"Is this court the emperor's court, or his Jiang family's court?"

"We must not let them think that we are weak and deceitful because we come from a humble background."

Xiang Si is far from worthy of the name of a young talent, whether it is a love letter or a pleading, he writes plainly and sincerely, and a few sentences are infectious and incendiary.

His own identity is embarrassing, he was born in the Hou Mansion but has no shade, he relies on the imperial examination to enter the office, and he is not good at both ends, and now such a move is to directly classify himself into the Qingliu camp, completely cut off the seat with the Xungui family, and by the way, recruit a bunch of strong enemies for himself, so courage is very popular.

"As soon as these two documents are submitted, you will not be able to return to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion at all, and you will be helpless in the court in the future, are you sure you will not regret it?"

In the palace, in the Canglang Pavilion, Wei Yu raised his eyebrows and asked Xiang Siyuan opposite.

Xiang Siyuan's eyes fell on the chess game in front of him, he didn't expect that this little princess seemed to be unlearned, but she was quite level in chess, and said while thinking about it: "Weichen didn't regret it, when he was in Dingyuan's Houfu, Weichen was helpless in the court, and now he is not burdened by the Houfu, but he is much more comfortable." ”

As the saying goes, there are three fires when a new official takes office, and now that he has returned to the court, the decadent atmosphere on his body has been swept away, and his original clear face has become more and more radiant, and his whole popularity is unparalleled.

Wei Yu raised his eyelids to look at him, and said lazily: "Do you have to speak like this, like an old man?" ”

I don't know how many times I said that there is no need to be rigid when I meet in private, but he still salutes every time, and he must be humble when he speaks.

It's no wonder that in his previous life, he was like a fish in water in the academy, and he was born to be an old master.

Xiang Siyuan paused, and said persistently: "Etiquette cannot be abolished." ”

Wei Yu sighed, shook his head and fell, successfully watching Xiang Siyuan walk into her trap.

The chess road can be seen in the character, Xiang Siyuan plays chess as his person, good at forbearance layout, and only attacks in one fell swoop when he sees the opportunity, but unfortunately he is still pedantic, blindly following the rules, a little less novel, and it is easy for people to see the moves.

"How does it feel to be a new official?" Wei Yu asked.

Xiang Siyuan groaned slightly, pondering the words and phrases, "It's very leisurely." ”

Too much idleness, to be exact.

Although the manager of Gyeonggi is not an important position, he is a dignified five-grade official, and he does not eat white rice every month with the imperial court, but since Xiang Siyuan took office, he has not done anything except for the first day of the commander of the central division who is familiar with the faces of his subordinates.

Although the Gyeonggi manager is not a chief, he is also the highest-ranking official, so he is obviously ostracized.

The Five Cities Terracotta Division is responsible for public security in Beijing, there are many small affairs of officials, huge and complex personnel, and the real power is not large.

The people of both factions look down on Xiang Siyuan, a white-faced civil official who is not clear and expensive, and they are afraid of his reputation for fear of not being reprimanded as a fellow party, and they dare not get close, and it is common for them to eat a small half-moon for nothing.

"You can solve this matter on your own, right?" Wei Yu asked again.

Xiang Siyuan was entangled for a long time, but he still couldn't see the mystery of Wei Yu's move, and he also saw that his defeat was decided, so he simply calmed his mind and randomly found a place on the chessboard to drop the chess pieces, and then smiled and said: "After Weichen is on the table this time, he will be able to get on the right track." ”

It's good that it's a person who has stayed in that place in the Hanlin Academy before, and this is still far away.

This time, he was praised for his name, and he also showed his face in the ministry, and there was pressure from the top to the top, and the group of martial artists in the Soldiers and Horses Division should not dare to be embarrassed anymore.

Wei Yu nodded, knowing that these little things were not a problem, so he didn't ask any more, and turned the conversation to get down to business, "This time I asked you to enter the palace, there is something for you to do." ”
