The argument of the two brothers
"Having said that, but after today's bloody battle, I know that Marquis Zhao is a sensible and righteous person, and the little woman admires it very much!" After Xu Guannan finished speaking, he took out a letter from his arms, "The little woman's life is thin, this is a letter written by her father, if you can, if you want to keep it here with Marquis Zhao, please hand it over to the emperor!" ”
Zhao Xuanyi trembled his hands and took the letter, at this moment Zhao Xuanyi felt that this letter weighed a thousand catties, this was a letter recommended by a six-grade official who was not afraid of power and sacrificed his life, Zhao Xuanyi took it in his hand, his face was full of seriousness!
"Can I take a look?" Zhao Xuanyi asked.
"This letter is not sealed, Marquis Zhao can read it!" Xu Guannan said.
Zhao Xuanyi opened the envelope, took out the letter paper inside, opened it and saw that there was a personal mark and painting on it, and after reading the letter carefully, Zhao Xuanyi was surprised!
Hurriedly folded the letter and put it in his arms, "Miss Xu, are the things and names on this true?" This is no small matter! ”
"Marquis Zhao and my father wrote these corrupt officials with their lives, for the sake of the people of Limin, he himself has never gotten a copper plate in the disaster relief food, so the above things are true, all the names are true, there will be no falsehood, I hope that Marquis Zhao will hand over this letter to the emperor and let him make decisions for my father!" After Xu Guannan finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Zhao Xuanyi!
Zhao Xuanyi helped Xu Guannan up again, "Miss Xu, don't worry, give you the truth, the people above are too important, even if you hand it over, I'm afraid you won't be able to see the desired result, but you will definitely complete this letter and hand it over to the emperor!" ”
"Thank you, Marquis Zhao!" After Xu Guannan finished speaking, his eyes were full of tears and his face was full of sadness!
And Zhao Xuanyi frowned, he didn't know if Xu Guannan had read this letter, but the people above really knew a few, I'm afraid this matter is not so simple!
In the afternoon of the next day, Zhao Xuanyi led Qilinwei back to the capital, turned his head to look at Tang Tianli, "Lead Qilinwei back to the camp to rest, and throw the captured prisoners outside the barracks as human flesh stakes, and a bowl of rice porridge per person every day!" Not a lot to give, a bunch of rice buckets! ”
"Yes!" Tang Tianli nodded and said.
Zhao Xuanyi looked at Wang Heming, "Brother Wang, I bother you to lock up the two wastes in the prisoner car in Dali Temple, waiting for them to be delivered!" Then send my sister-in-law home to recuperate! ”
Wang Heming clenched his fists, "Brother, let's not talk nonsense, rest for a few days, please drink!" ”
"Done! You're busy! Zhao Xuanyi said.
Xu Guannan glanced at Zhao Xuanyi, his eyes were slightly red, "Marquis Zhao, I'm sorry for you!" ”
"Don't worry!" Zhao Xuanyi nodded and said.
Wang Heming walked in the direction of Dali Temple with the prisoner car and Xu Guannan, and Zhao Xuanyi looked at Jinglan, "Sister-in-law, bring twenty people to escort you!" Stay safe! ”
"Understood! Come with me! Jinglan took more than 20 Qilin guards and escorted Wang Heming and the others all the way away!
Zhao Xuanyi thought of the letter in his arms, the situation in Henan, and the things he encountered along the way, and the whole person's anger instantly ignited, and he said in his heart, you bastards, I'm really sorry for myself if I don't kill you!
Before Zhao Xuanyi could leave, he saw a carriage coming towards him, and the carriage came straight in front of Zhao Xuanyi, and dozens of unicorn guards behind him immediately protected Zhao Xuanyi behind him!
The carriage stopped in front of Qilinwei, only to see a man in a gray robe get down from the carriage, the man came to Zhao Xuanyi, and smiled slightly, "Brother, long time no see!" ”
Seeing the man in front of him, Zhao Xuanyi was not so surprised, it seemed that everything was expected, Zhao Xuanyi turned over and dismounted, waved his hand to Qilin Wei, and all Qilin Wei drove the horse away!
Zhao Xuanyi walked over, stood in front of the man, and smiled coldly, "Long time no see, big brother!" ”
Zhao Xuanli smiled slightly and patted Zhao Xuanyi's shoulder, "Just came back, right?" Great work! ”
"Big brother is considerate!"
"Can you have a conversation?" Zhao Xuanli asked softly.
Zhao Xuanyi sighed, "Please!" The two brothers stepped aside and moved away from the group! Before Zhao Xuanli could speak, Zhao Xuanyi spoke first, "The prince asked you to come?" ”
"Uh...... Haha, brother smart! Zhao Xuanli said with some embarrassment.
"Your brother and I have never been smart! It's just that after reading Xu Zhongyi's letter, I know that the emperor sent the second batch of disaster relief grain to Henan is 10 million taels, and in the end there are less than 2 million taels left, and the rest are embezzled by the princelings, ...... you? ”
Zhao Xuanyi was so angry that he smoked, Zhao Xuanli covered Zhao Xuanyi's mouth with a panicked face, and his eyes kept flashing, "Brother, be cautious!" ”
Zhao Xuanyi opened Zhao Xuanli's hand and grabbed Zhao Xuanli's neckline, "Why do you say it yourself, is there you here?" Say! Zhao Xuanyi shouted loudly!
"...... this?" Zhao Xuanli looked embarrassed, and looked left and right, "Brother, I'm here to run errands for people, how can it be me who makes the decision?" ”
"So that's it?" Zhao Xuanyi pushed Zhao Xuanli onto the big tree, "Zhao Xuanli, Zhao Xuanli, my eldest brother, you don't lack food or drink, this is life-saving money, you dare to take it?" Do you sleep at night better than your eyes? Now people in Henan will be starved to death every day, how can you bear it! Zhao Xuanyi roared!
Zhao Xuanli hurriedly pushed away Zhao Xuanyi's hands and tidied up his clothes, "Do you think I can call the shots in this matter?" Do I have that much power? Isn't it a subordinate faction? I'm just running errands and talking, I'm a five-grade lang, what can I do? ”
"Then you can't help the abuse! Just because of this group of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, how many people starved to death? Hey, you don't know what it's like to starve to death, you don't eat for three days, you can't starve to death, but you can experience what it's like! Why are you ......? Zhao Xuanyi pointed at Zhao Xuanli, so angry that his fingers kept trembling! But I can't say a word!
"Xuanyi, I know you're angry, but how can you and I say these things? Let me ask you, is Xu Zhongyi's letter with you? Zhao Xuanli hurriedly asked.
"What do you mean?"
"Ruined him! This thing is a hot potato, you have to listen to the eldest brother in this matter, I will be honest with you, even if you hand over the letter to the emperor, the final result is nothing more than the prince finding a scapegoat, and the prince will not be shaken and damaged in the slightest! ”
"But you're different, if you handed in this letter, then you will be a thorn in the prince's side in the future, why bother?"
Zhao Xuanyi snorted coldly: "Do you think I'm afraid of him?" ”
"Xuanyi, you're not a fool, don't you understand the emperor's thoughts? Yes, you are now a high-ranking protector, but this is not just a sentence of the royal family? They want to remove your marquis status, which is also a sentence, the prince is the future monarch, if you offend him, he will ascend the throne and become the emperor in the future, can you have good fruit to eat? Zhao Xuanli asked.
A few words shocked Zhao Xuanyi, Zhao Xuanyi is not a fool, although Zhao Xuanli's words are ugly, but they do have a certain end, just now the emperor in the palace, no one can see through it, and no one knows his real plan.
If he really has the heart to set up the prince on the throne, then he must be the prince's number one enemy, if he really angers the prince, he will definitely suffer some unnecessary trouble, he is not afraid of anything, but if it involves his father and father-in-law, then it is impossible to say!
Zhao Xuanli came to do this, which means that he must have been involved, he must be very scared, so he came to such a set, Zhao Xuanyi's heart was full of anger, but the facts in front of him still made him unable to choose!
"I'll go back and think about it!" After Zhao Xuanyi finished speaking, he turned around and left!
"Brother, you have to think clearly, you must think clearly!" Zhao Xuanli shouted loudly, his face full of worry!
Zhao Xuanyi got on the horse and continued to walk home, after returning to the Marquis's Mansion, Zhao Xuanyi had just dismounted, only to see a white figure rush out and throw himself into his arms!
Zhao Xuanyi hugged Du Xinyu with a smile, and Du Xinyu laughed happily, "You're finally back!" ”
"Hmmm! It's back! Go, get in! Zhao Xuanyi let go of Du Xinyu, and the two walked into the house, until they came to the front hall to sit down, and the purple kite also brought hot tea, "Uncle has worked hard!" ”
"Hmmm! How are you doing at home? ”
"Good!" Purple Kite said softly.
"Good!" Zhao Xuanyi sat on the chair, drank tea slowly, his heart was very confused, he originally thought that he would return to the capital, go straight to the palace, throw the letter in his hand directly to the Jinluan Palace, and let the emperor give an explanation, but after Zhao Xuanli's persuasion, Zhao Xuanyi's heart was shaken!
Zhao Xuanli may not be a good person, but the more Zhao Xuanyi thinks about it, the more right what Zhao Xuanli said! This is nothing more than another game of thrones, why bother yourself? What does it have to do with who is dead? The people you care about are living well, aren't they? I don't lack money or power now, why do I have to offend the prince? Isn't that looking for something to do?
Du Xinyu and Purple Kite both saw that Zhao Xuanyi had something on his mind, and when he came back, he was sullen, and the expression on his face was very gloomy, Purple Kite walked to Zhao Xuanyi's side and asked softly, "Uncle, do you have anything on your mind?" ”
"Huh? Oh, this ......? Zhao Xuanyi took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled, "It's okay, don't care, maybe you're a little tired!" Zhao Xuanyi said.
"I've asked someone to prepare bath water, you can wash up later, and then eat something to rest!" Purple Kite said very considerately.
"Cheng, I'll take a shower first!" After Zhao Xuanyi finished speaking, he stood up and patted the top of Du Xinyu's head, "I'll accompany you at night!" ”
"Good!" Du Xinyu agreed with a smile!
Zhao Xuanyi returned to his room, and under the service of the purple kite, he sat in the bathtub, the purple kite took the towel and kept wiping Zhao Xuanyi's body, Zhao Xuanyi closed his eyes, and his heart was very unhappy! You know what's right and what's wrong, but you can't choose the right path, what could be more annoying?
When Zhao Xuanyi was troubled, Shen Wei's voice came from outside the door, "Young master!" ”
"What?"
"There's a carriage waiting at the back door!" Shen Wei's words have been made very clear!
Zhao Xuanyi opened his eyes instantly, "Tell her to wait a minute, I'll go over!" ”
"Yes!"
Zhao Xuanyi hurriedly got up, Purple Kite took a dry towel to wipe Zhao Xuanyi's body, and then took out a new set of clothes for Zhao Xuanyi to change into, "Is my uncle coming back tonight?" ”
Zhao Xuanyi sighed, "Probably won't come back, tell Xinyu not to wait for me!" ”
"Yes!" Purple Kite serves Zhao Xuanyi and gets dressed!
After Zhao Xuanyi got dressed, he picked up the letter on the table, then put on a black robe and walked out of the room! After opening the back door, the familiar carriage was already parked at the door!
Zhao Xuanyi boarded the carriage directly, and the carriage immediately walked, slowly left the back door of the Marquis's Mansion, walked for almost two quarters of an hour, and directly entered Tayunxuan!
Zhao Xuanyi got out of the carriage, walked into the dormitory in the backyard, threw away the black robe when he entered the room, and saw Zhu Yuejun wearing a white gauze skirt, looking at the twists and turns in the reading, Zhao Xuanyi sneered, and sat directly beside Zhu Yuejun, "What national affairs are you worrying about?" ”
As soon as Zhu Yuejun heard Zhao Xuanyi's tone, something was wrong! Turned his head to look at Zhao Xuanyi, "What's wrong with you?" When I came back, I didn't say if I wanted to think about me, but I had this attitude when I came up, could it be that I did something wrong? ”
"You'll do it right away!"
"What?" Zhu Yuejun didn't understand Zhao Xuanyi's words!
Zhao Xuanyi directly took out the letter in his sleeve and threw it directly on Zhu Yuejun's table, then picked up the hot tea on the side, and drank it directly without Zhu Yuejun's consent!
Zhu Yuejun took the envelope, opened it, and read the letter inside carefully, the more he looked at it, the tighter his brows became, the more angry he became, and his face became very cold!
"You're not that peaceful on the road, are you?"
Zhao Xuanyi smiled slightly: "You just want to ask this?" Henan's tens of millions of taels of silver were all embezzled, and the recommended people were assassinated, I went, Henan was not plagued at all, just because Xu Zhongyi's daughter Xu Guannan was forced into the cellar by them with a letter in her hand, and they couldn't find it alive or dead! ”
Then he made up the cause of the plague, and besieged the people inside in the city, without food, intending to starve to death! I went, and I almost starved to death! I have to say that your prince is really vicious, and he really has the spirit of a king! ”
"He actually picks food and silver from the mouths of people who are starving to death in his own country, just for his own glory and wealth!" Zhao Xuanyi grabbed Zhu Yuejun's shoulder, "Hey, I'm very curious, you can't be hungry or frozen every day!" What do you want so much money for? Eat? Zhao Xuanyi shouted angrily!
