Seeing that Xu Xiu was shocked and raised his eyes, his face could not hide his anxiety, and he wanted to ask carefully, and seemed to have some scruples and hesitation, Xie Ying covered his mouth with a fan again, shook his eyebrows that were like a crescent moon twice, and said with a smile: "Look, as I guessed, Xu Sheren really admires the eleventh sister." ”

"Little lady Xie, this is playing tricks on so-and-so?" Xu Xiuneng couldn't help but elongate his face and snorted softly.

"Xu Sheren can rest or don't know the hearts of good people, I obviously want to help Xu Sheren and Eleventh Sister Yu become a good relationship." Xie Ying restrained her ridiculous tone, put down the fan, and said seriously: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin and the age of the crown have not allowed marriage for a long time, why?" This is because the Queen Mother has long been a candidate for Princess Jin in her mind, but because the Queen Mother's preferred person was still young in the early years, Her Royal Highness's marriage has been delayed until now. ”

Xu Xiuneng is not a stupid person, and after a little thought, he made a judgment, raised his eyebrows and said: "According to a certain person, one of the queen mother's tendencies, I'm afraid that there is also a little lady Xie, right?" ”

"I don't hide it from Xu Sheren, I am determined to win the position of Princess Jin, if Xu Sheren can follow my words, it can be said that everyone is happy." Xie Ying shook the fan lightly, leaned over and whispered: "If the Queen Mother really makes a decision, wouldn't it be too late for Xu Sheren to regret it?" The eleventh sister is also about to be married, and the marriage cannot be delayed! If Xu Sheren really wants to marry the person he likes, he must act as soon as possible, although Mrs. Wei is the grandmother of the eleventh sister, but because of the concubine, she actually angered the eleventh sister early, when she is not happy to see the eleventh sister as the princess of Jin, Xu Sheren is the son of the noble, and Ling Zun is not the one who holds the real power, if she asks to marry the eleventh sister at this time, it may be as Mrs. Wei wishes. ”

This obviously means that the lintel of the British Mansion is far inferior to Jing Zhaoliu, if the eleventh mother marries Xu Xiuneng, it is naturally a low marriage, Mrs. Wei originally did not want the eleventh mother to marry high, and there is a great opportunity to promote this marriage.

The truth is this truth, but the crux of Xu Xiuneng's heart is that others look down on his background, and he will inevitably be depressed after hearing this, but with his city government, of course, he will not worry about Xie Ying, who is open-mouthed, and he bowed his hand a little to show his appreciation, got up and left.

If it weren't for Xie Ying's reminder, he really didn't expect that Eleven Niang would be a candidate for the princess of Jin, just because he had never paid attention to the marriage of King Jin, of course he would not have wasted his mind to speculate, but if he thought about it carefully, the children of the clan have always pursued early marriage, and they have not yet married a wife at the age of the king of Jin, even if the queen mother is intentional and negligent, the king of Nanyang, the authentic king, will not sit idly by, but the king of Nanyang has remained silent so far...... It is likely that he has reached an agreement with the Queen Mother, waiting for the two candidates to grow up to marriageable age.

Although Eleven Niang is Xu Xiu Neng, after careful observation, identified as the best candidate for meritocracy, but if the Queen Mother really chooses Shi Niang as the princess of Jin, Xu Xiu Neng will never disobey the Queen Mother's will because of marriage - his ambition is to enter the government hall in the future, become an important minister in the court, and leave a name in history, marry a wife to seek wisdom, and also for his own interests, so he will definitely not offend the Queen Mother for the sake of marriage, and add obstacles to his career in the future.

It's just that if you want to give up Eleven Niang......

Xu Xiuneng was really unwilling, where did he find another virtuous helper with a prestigious background and extraordinary wisdom?

Therefore, he quickly decided, since the Queen Mother has not yet made a final decision, she has to try to fight for it, Xu Xiu can be very confident, with the wisdom of Eleven Niang, he must understand that the King of Jin will be in a very dangerous situation in the future, and it is very likely that he will not die well, how can he be willing to become an abandoned son of the Queen Mother? Only people like Xie Liuniang, who are smart themselves, will regard King Jin as a "strange commodity", thinking that they will shine one day.

A few days later, Eleven Niang waited for the twentieth day of the first month to return to the palace, and just met the Queen Mother, she was invited by Xu Xiuneng to go to the house.

So I knew Xie Ying's small movements.

The reason why Xu Xiuneng did not make his own assertions, but first confessed to Shi Niang, was also based on his understanding of Shi Niang, and did not think that Shi Niang would really be at the mercy of others.

said very humbly: "I really admired the little lady early, in fact, even if I didn't have Xie Liuniang to remind me, I also planned to confess to the elders in the family, and asked the matchmaker to propose marriage, the reason why I have hesitated so far is because Eleven Niang is not yet married, and the key is ...... Worried about oneself, he is shallow in his studies, his family is low, and he is afraid of being presumptuous. ”

This new year has just passed, and once again encountered a man to show love in person, Shi Niang said that she had a headache, and it was also after some deliberation before she comforted: "Xu Sheren is too humble." ”

Xu Xiuneng's eyes lit up, and his eyebrows were overflowing with joy.

Eleven Niang didn't wait for him to further show his intentions, and preemptively said: "Don't hide it from Erlang, Eleven does find out about his marriage, the Queen Mother seems to have an idea, so she doesn't dare to secretly make a private plan, thanks to Erlang's love, although Eleven is grateful, but how can you see Erlang taking risks for Eleven's sake?" ”

In Shi Niang's place, Xu Xiu Neng is of course no better than Xiao Jiu, he can bluntly say that he has no intention of him, this person is quite cunning and very sensitive, maybe he has insight into his intention to be the princess of Jin, although Xu Xiu Neng is not an enemy for the time being, but he is certainly not an ally, he has always been suspicious of He Ye, if he is aware of his thoughts, wouldn't he be more sure that He Ye "don't have intentions"? Of course, this is not conducive to He Ye's future, and it is even more likely to add to the accident.

Therefore, Eleven Niang had no choice but to use the strategy of delaying the army, temporarily stabilizing Xu Xiuneng, and then secretly framing him, so that he would lose the trust of the Queen Mother, so in the future, even if Xu Xiuneng wanted to be unfavorable to He Ye, empty words would not have any lethality.

So she pretended to be Xu Xiuneng at this time and thoughtful: "The Queen Mother is still hesitating between me and Liuniang at this time, even if there is no decision, but if the British government mentions marriage first, the Queen Mother will naturally not be gracious, I am afraid that she will secretly resentful of Erlang, won't it damage Erlang's future?" Erlang is not from an obvious background, he can only be admitted to the Jinshi by relying on real talent and real learning, and he walks in one step, many difficulties, Eleven is very impressed, how can he be at ease because of selfishness, and see Erlang's career frustrated. ”

These words are very comforting, like a gust of spring breeze sent into the heart, making people warm and comfortable.

"Erlang is at ease, Eleven has his own plans, and he will help Liuniang get her wish, and at that time, the Queen Mother will not care who Eleven marries."

Since Eleven Niang is confident, Xu Xiuneng will not doubt her ability to use methods, and she is grateful and inspired, and she makes a promise of rhetoric.

In fact, Xu Xiuneng, a smart person, of course understands that it is unwise to interfere with the Queen Mother's plan at this time, and everything must be arranged as a matter of course, which is the best of both worlds.

As for his words of the mountain alliance and sea oath, of course, they were forgotten by Eleven Niang when he turned around.

It's just that he took a look and told He Zhan: "Buried in the dark line next to the British duke, you can start it, be cautious, don't let Xu Xiu notice, this person is quite cunning and cautious, but I'm afraid that it won't be so easy to step on the trap." ”

Said Xie Ying, and thought that Xu Xiuneng had been persuaded by her, and immediately began to arrange another thing, this day she learned from Qianmo's mouth that the two Lingren surnamed Chen, temporarily rented in Yongyangfang, and both of them have a small family in Beijing, and the place where they live is a mixed place, the security is very chaotic, but it is far away from the rich and noble city, so the court is too lazy to rectify, Xie Ying suddenly felt that if there is heavenly help, carefully told Qianmo, and finally did not forget to emphasize: "Those two Lingren I still have a use, remember that I must leave a living mouth, The two wives and children also have to find a safe place to be guarded, be careful, this matter cannot be known to the family, only you can handle it! ”

What is Xie Ying's idea?

It turned out that he wanted to use those two servants to frame Eleven Niang, and confessed that Qianmo would trap the wife of the maid, and threatened him with hostages, forcing the Lingren surnamed Chen to sue the official, saying that Eleven Niang bribed the two to spread rumors, intending to frame the Queen Mother!

As soon as this matter is troubled, even if the Queen Mother does not believe what the servant said, she will be suspicious of Eleven Niang, and then go to Jingzhaoliu through the British Mansion to propose marriage, as long as Mrs. Wei agrees to promote, she will inevitably enter the palace to meet the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother has lost trust in Eleven Niang, and most of them will push the boat.

Didn't the Queen Mother take into account the name of benevolence and be unwilling to punish the servants? Then this case with a lot of doubts will inevitably be lightly skimmed, and there will be no blame, as long as the Queen Mother releases the two servants, she has more opportunities to kill people.

Even if they are killed, no one will avenge them, and the corpses will be thrown into mass graves and left to decompose.

Xie Yingda trusts the martial arts of the servant Qianmo, and it is easy to deal with a few untouchables.

So he waited in the forbidden place for the good news to come back.

Within a few days, there was movement!

With the passage of the Shangyuan Festival, the three years of Chengde officially opened a new chapter, and the envoys of various countries also left Beijing one after another, and the Queen Mother, who had been busy for dozens of days, finally sighed and began to deal with the troubles left by the fall of Youyan - before the New Year, Xie Raoping finally escorted Yao Qian back to Beijing, but there were many courts, and the envoys were there, and the Queen Mother did not have the leisure to judge the case, and only ordered Yao Qian to be temporarily detained in Dali Temple, and then personally interrogated after the festival.

Of course, the Ruyang royal party will not let go of the opportunity to pull out the minions of the queen mother, He Qi has made several admonitions in the court, claiming that the fall of Youyan is very important, for the felony Yao Qian, who is suspected of dereliction of duty, should be tried by the Zongzheng Hall and the political affairs hall and the three divisions, the Queen Mother's party will naturally cite the scriptures and refute He Qi's advice is not in accordance with the law, and after several rounds of quarrels, He Qi was finally defeated, and Yao Qian was still tried by the Queen Mother in the end.

Naturally, there is no name for trial, but even if Yao Qian escapes the crime of dereliction of duty, but as the main general of the town, he suffered a fiasco, of course, the responsibility is not at all, even if the queen mother intends to cover up, it is impossible to serve as Yao Qian's commander again, and he must explain to the world and give a reasonable punishment.

Yao Qian was originally the governor of Youzhou, and was awarded the title of general of Zhenbei, but because of this fiasco, he was demoted to a nine-grade soldier Cao to join the army, a leopard cavalry sergeant, and became a palace gatekeeper.

It seems that it is a heavy punishment - the second-rank general was directly demoted to the ninth grade, if he is replaced by an ordinary person, there is no doubt that there will be no chance of recovery, but in fact, many officials know that Yao Qian has not been completely dismissed, which shows that he still has the trust of the Queen Mother, and he will never be defeated, maybe one day he will turn over.

Of course, He Qi's party was not convinced, but several ministers of great power used the old example as a reference - when Emperor Wuzong, there was a general who was defeated, but he was demoted to a Lang general, but it was the fifth grade, several levels higher than the ninth grade!

According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it seems that there is no provision that the generals of the defeated army will be punished with death, and most of the imperial court will give the generals the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

Since the Queen Mother is personally interrogating Yao Qian, then of course Eleven Niang has the opportunity to see the true face of the blood feud.

Yes, she has never seen Yao Qian, the executioner who once led her uncle to nearly 10,000 soldiers in the name of rebellion, and Wei Haichi's indispensable accomplice!

On this day, there was an intermittent spring snowfall, and the white sun shone through the stratus clouds, and the less bright sunlight could only be seen when it fell on the snow.

Under the eaves of the corridor, above the jade steps, Eleven Niang straightened her spine and looked at the middle-aged man in cloth clothes striding over, how could she have seen the slightest apprehension?

Eleven Niang smiled slightly.

Yao Qian, live well, don't die easily.
