Chapter 181: The Unexpected

He also said that Liu Junyi, who was returned to Beijing by a holy decree in the wind and snow, entered the palace that day, but saw the Son of Heaven in the Zichen Palace, but He Yan did not mention Liu Du's case after a few cold greetings, but comforted Junyi for four years of hard work, commended the meritorious work of quelling the chaos, and determined not to let Liu Junyi go out again, but how to confer the post, but also to negotiate with the ministers of the political hall, and instructed Junyi to take advantage of this period of leisure to recuperate, reunite with Gaotang's wife and enjoy the joy of family, so he sent people away.

Liu Junyi was confused, and went home to see Mrs. Wei, only to know that Liu Du had been acquitted, no wonder the Son of Heaven didn't ask In fact, Xie Raoping had listed many criminal evidences in the book, and Liu Junyi was very angry: "Liu Du was greedy for disaster grain, handed over to profiteers, sold at a high price, and ignored the innocent victims to cause a fleeing banditry. Although Xie Raoping had framed Zhongliang, but this time he did not wronged Liu Du, his son followed Xie Raoping to Hanzhou, visited many counties, and saw that many villages were even empty, and hundreds of old and weak people starved to death because of lack of harvest! Most of the victims had to flee because they had no way out, and they were sold into slavery or left in the grass. ”

Mrs. Wei sighed and said, "In order to deal with Xie Raoping, the saint really shouldn't ignore the facts and condone Liu Du's treachery. ”

Liu Xinyi because of Mrs. Wei's instructions, these years to take the initiative to hand over Wei Yuanping, the effect is obvious, now is no longer under the suppression of Mao Wei in Menxia Province, has long been transferred by Wei Yuanping to the province of Zhongshu, awarded the "knowledge system" responsible for writing the draft edict of the Zhongshu people, for some secrets, of course, heard and seen, then told his younger brother Junyi: "Liu Du insisted that he was indeed ordered to issue disaster food, but in addition to the county where the state is located, there are also two counties of Deyang and Shifang, and the county is Liu Du and the order, and the Deyang order and the Shifang order committed suicide in fear of crime, One happened to be the nephew of the Mao Wei tribe, and his testimony was not credible, and when he handed over the documents, he was stolen and destroyed by Guo Yuan, the original lawsuit of the assassin Shi, and Guo Yuan's whereabouts are unknown...... It was because of these strange things that Xue Xiangguo believed that Liu Du might be wronged. ”

Liu Junyi sneered: "Guo Yuan is clearly in cahoots with Liu Du, it should be that Liu Du noticed that something was wrong and killed him, and the false accusation was stolen and destroyed by Guo Yuan...... But many businessmen confessed, and I also heard it with my own ears, pointing out that Guo Yuan came forward to hand over the disaster grain to him and sell it at a high price, even if Liu Du claimed that everything was Guo Yuan's crime, but he was the assassin of Hanzhou, if he was not the mastermind, how could he act in a way that was not leaky, Liu Du's assassination history was too funny. ”

"Therefore, Liu Ducai insisted that this was a trap arranged by Xie Raoping and Mao Wei, and Guo Yuan was killed by Xie Raoping, and then bribed profiteers to testify against Guo Yuan, just to make him take the blame." Liu Xinyi also said in a sad tone: "With such loopholes, the dog jumps over the wall, but the sage and Xue Xiangguo still believe it." ”

Mrs. Wei said: "The sage and Xue Qian may not believe it, but they should also think that the Hanzhou case is not so simple. ”

Liu Junyi asked, "What does Mother mean by this?" ”

"Liu Du was so bold and greedy for disaster relief food back then, he should have bought the county orders of Deyang and Shifang counties together, he thought that the emperor was far away, and the dead were nothing more than ordinary people, and the victims fled abroad, and he didn't know that the imperial court had disaster relief, and he wouldn't know about his crime of assassination at all, but how did Hu Yue, the imperial historian of the court, be thousands of miles away and hear that Jiannan Road had a history of assassination and greed?" Mrs. Wei shook her head: "It must be the nephew of the Mao Wei clan, in order to prevent the crime from being exposed and causing burning, I will report to our Mao Xiangguo first." ”

Liu Junyi was shocked and said: "What does Mother mean...... The Queen Mother knew that Hanzhou had starved to death countless times, but she ignored it and ignored it, until there were twists and turns in the Linchao matter, and then she wanted to use the Hanzhou case to promote the hearing of the government and confess Hu Yue's impeachment? ”

Mrs. Wei bowed: "Liu Du is not important, but because Mao Wei is implicated in it, the Queen Mother ignores it, thinking that more things are better than less things, in the eyes of this person, those disasters are more trivial than grass, at that time she was dedicated to the court to listen to the system, and she didn't want to have more twists and turns, but she didn't expect Liu Xuanqing to do something bad at this time, and there was no excuse for God's divine power, so she planned to expose the disadvantages of the saint not asking about the government and delaying the people's livelihood in public, so as to promote her to listen to the government in a grand manner, and she must have also found a way to clear Mao Wei afterwards, which is estimated to make Liu Du 'commit suicide in fear of crime'. ”

Liu Junyi slammed his fist on the case: "The Queen Mother didn't expect the sage to change her mind, not only deposed Xie Raoping, but even returned to the state politics, and ordered a strict investigation of Liu Du's case!" ”

"Xie Raoping has been damaged, of course the Queen Mother wants to protect Mao Wei, behind Liu Du's sophistry, I am afraid that there is the Queen Mother who has installed ears and eyes to instigate, Guo Yuan is Liu Du's subordinate official, and it is easy to be killed, but with Liu Du's ability, how can he kill Shifang to extinguish the mouth? If he was really so ruthless, why did he just let Deyang Ling live? The sage and Xue Qian may understand that Liu Du is indeed guilty, but Xie Raoping is also resolutely not loyal and innocent, the Queen Mother intends to set Liu Du and Xie Raoping against each other, the purpose is to let the sage protect Liu Du in order to get rid of Xie Raoping, we all believe that Liu Du is treacherous, on the contrary, we will believe that Xie Raoping is innocent, Liu Du seems to be at large at the moment, but the case is not really over, the Queen Mother is bound to have a follow-up, the purpose is to cut off the saint's right-hand man. ”

The twists and turns in this, Liu Junyi only fully understood at this time, but Eleven Niang, who was sitting silently and only listening, admired Mrs. Wei's analysis.

"There will be no more public trial in this case, and Xue Qian and Feng Bozhang are bound to pay the price for this difference in thought, it is appropriate, you can understand these things, if the Queen Mother or Wei Yuanping inquire, you can be frank about Liu Du's crimes, and don't say more about the rest." Mrs. Tai sighed lightly: "Now, I can also see that with the ability of a saint, it is far from being able to prevent the Queen Mother from getting involved in politics, let alone overturning the case for Pei Zheng, and wasting my Yun'er's hard work in vain...... I'm afraid that I won't be able to secure this time, but I hope that Xue Gong will have a plan to prevent it as soon as possible, and don't repeat Pei Zheng's mistakes. ”

Mrs. Wei didn't expect that her granddaughter Eleven Niang had already taken precautions for others and arranged for them one by one.

But if you want to ask Shi Niang how sure she is, she is really a little worried, as Mrs. Tai said, this time Xue Qian and Feng Bozhang will inevitably be liquidated, Shi Niang tried her best, and there is only a way to protect the Xue family from the suspicion of the Queen Mother, it is difficult to say whether Xue Qian's life can be saved, but it is inevitable to stop the prime minister, in fact, if Xue Qian can listen to Lu Li's advice, he will not be involved in the Liu Du corruption case too deeply, or insist on persuading the saint to uphold justice instead of trying to protect Liu Du, and he will not enter the trap set up by the Queen Mother, at least he will not be implicated in this turmoil, However, if the Queen Mother can't be prevented from coming to the court, Xue Qian and the Xue family will always be in a catastrophe, but if Eleven Niang's plan goes smoothly this time, at least the Xue family will be safe for the time being.

The Liu Xue family has become in-laws, and Mrs. Wei also tactfully reminded Xue Gong Xue Zizhan, of course, she said it with great reservations, not as thoroughly analyzed as today, but reminded Xue Gong Liu Du that he deserved it, and warned Xue Xiang not to protect it, but although the Xue family also figured out that the Liu family was not as close to the empress dowager as it seemed, but it was related to the safety of the family.

This is also the reason why Mrs. Wei expected that the Xue family should have a plan to take precautions, so as not to be unprepared and wait for someone to clean up.

Eleven Niang sent away the unexpected visitor Fang Shi this day, calculating the time, guessing that Wei Yuanping should also react, and was thinking about looking for He Zhan to inquire, but she just finished lunch, and before she had time to go to Shangqingguan, she ushered in another "unexpected", but it was Wei Yuanping's granddaughter Wei Xuan.

Four years ago, when Liu Xinyi intended to be friendly with Wei Yuanping, he expected that Wei Yuanping would marry him, and sure enough, after a few back-and-forths, Wei Yuanping inquired about Liu Wuniang, and heard that he had exchanged Geng posts with Yushan Luo, Wei Yuanping fell and sighed - although the Wei family seemed to replace Pei and Zheng at this time to become one of the ten hopes of Jingzhao, but compared to the eight prominent ones outside the Xie family, the foundation is still shallow, and Wei Yuanping is not a descendant but a concubine, and it is not easy to marry with Shiwang, and finally has a Liu Xinyi who takes the initiative to show goodwill, how can he not grasp it immediately, but I didn't expect Liu Wuniang to be famous, how can it not be regretted.

Yes, when Liu Xinyi proposed to marry Wei Xiang's granddaughter for his son, Wei Yuanping was overjoyed.

Qiao's son-in-law Wulang Liu Zhang and Wei Xiangyan's eldest son Wei Mian are of the same age, Eleven Niang originally thought that the competitor of the Shangqingguan exam would become her cousin-in-law, who knew that Wei Yuanping didn't know what considerations, it was actually to let the second son's daughter Wei Miao marry Liu's, Wei Miao is only twelve now, of course, not to the age of marriage, in fact, the two families have not exchanged Geng posts, but there is a verbal agreement, but the famous family will not betray their trust, this marriage has been ten out of eight \ / nine, the two families were originally relatives, and they moved around more frequently.

To say that Wei Mian also often comes to Liufu, and is close to Qi Niang and Jiu Niang on the surface, but because Eleven Niang lives in Shangqingguan on the tenth day of January, and runs out every three or five days, he doesn't often meet with Wei Mian, and this time, Wei Mian's purpose is obviously to rush to Eleven Niang, so he said it unexpectedly.

After the two girls talked about the topic of painting techniques, Wei Yan turned to the topic.

"Eleventh sister, there is one thing...... As you know, I am close to my parents, and my parents are discussing marriage for me, but I ...... Indeed, I already have a place in my heart, but I don't know the man...... I was plagued by rumors, and I was afraid that if I couldn't solve the misunderstanding, my parents wouldn't approve of it...... Therefore, if I want to ask the eleventh sister for advice, it is Xue Liulang Xue Xuanzhi, I don't know if the eleventh sister knows back then...... The cause of death of Liulang Yuan and Pei Banniang, is it really for Liulang's favorite concubine to kill his wife? ”
