In the afternoon, this period of leisure, especially after the New Year, has gradually increased.

Since Gao Yushen was "falsely accused" incident, Concubine Yuan Xian broke Qiao Jiao's arm, and she was almost doomed, in the end, because of her uncle Yuan Dezhi's proper response, to avoid the disaster of killing, at this time, even the grounding was lifted, but her ambition was frustrated, she no longer dared to go toe-to-toe with Lan Jieyu at this time, and had to accept the fact of being subservient, only trying to eat and drink, and not thinking about power.

Today, she accompanied the Queen Mother to listen to the piano music, and watched the spring scenery in the pear garden, all her thoughts were on flattery and flattery, that is, to Qin Sang, also affectionately called "Ah Guo", and she was very obedient, and she only hated to engrave the words gentle and harmless on her forehead.

When Gao Yuxiang reported to the people of He She who asked to see him, Concubine Xian didn't even forget to slap her ass: "At present, although there are many handsome people in the court, in terms of talent, they still take He She people as the leader, but there are also many people who know people with the wisdom of the Queen Mother, and He She has today's achievements." ”

This sycophant is not very clever, but the Queen Mother understood Concubine Xian's sincerity, and bowed her head at her exceptionally gently: "Concubine Xian can also judge people with her talents, but I am impressed." ”

He Yan died, leaving behind a lot of concubines, just because the Son of Heaven is still old and has no harem, so these concubines still retain their original titles, and they have not moved out of Daming Palace, but many concubines, in fact, most of them are virgins, some are unbearable and lonely, depressed and ended, some are unbearable to live in the palace step by step, and simply invite themselves to enter the Tao to practice, of course, even so, they can't be as free as the female crown outside the palace, but they are far away from the sinister and lonely and lonely.

But there are some people who have already seen through the times, they know how to survive, neither worry about the sky, nor do they sigh much, they are dedicated to "pensioning" in the palace, and they are usually idle, and their only duty is that the queen mother is in the right mood, accompanied by a lively banquet.

The object of their courtesy was the Queen Mother, followed by Gao Yuxiang, and then Xie Ying.

That's right, although Xie Ying made a big mistake because of her impatience when King Ruyang rebelled, and lost the "throne" of Princess Jin, but this woman also knew her mistakes and was good at reforming, and soon regained her strength, and successfully alleviated the financial crisis with the help of the establishment of an official kiln, and then lost such a strong competitor as Eleven Niang, and now she is not only favored by the Queen Mother, but even better than before.

For example, today, the Queen Mother knew that He Zhan suddenly asked to see her because she had a serious matter, although she avoided those concubines who accompanied her and joked, and the people she brought with her were Gao Yuxiang and Xie Ying.

And what He Zhan reported today is naturally that Eleven Niang was innocently slandered.

Of course, Xie Ying will not contradict He Zhan, she is particularly vigilant after suffering a major setback, and understands that once she targets Shi Niang, it will immediately arouse the suspicion of the Queen Mother, so she even helped: "Since the people of He She have found a human certificate in this matter, they should be ordered to strictly investigate the Dali Temple and severely punish those who slander the royal family." Although Liu Qingcheng was still cautious, he did not directly let his family contact with the idlers who spread rumors, but he pleaded with Yuan Dezhi, and this matter immediately stabbed the ears of the Queen Mother, and later, Liu Qingcheng made his family abscond and was intercepted by He Zhan, who had been prepared, and those idlers testified that they had bought them to spread rumors, which is another conclusive crime.

However, He Zhan didn't think about a public trial, and he didn't care that Xie Ying was listening at the scene, and said calmly: "It was originally a romantic talk, but if it is wantonly investigated, it will seem overkill, and it is not conducive to the trial implementation of the new policy, so the minister thinks that it is enough to admonish and punish a small punishment." ”

and further analyzed: "This matter should be that Jinyang Chen was dissatisfied with Ding Wuliang's death sentence, and deliberately spread rumors, Liu Qingcheng's mother, Chen Baiyun's aunt, this Chen Baiyun's beloved concubine, and it is the sister of Ding Wuliang's mother's compatriots, because of his resentment against Princess Jin and Xue Shaoyin, Fang instigated Liu Qingcheng's rumors to slander, although Liu Qingcheng did not commit a capital crime, but as a court official, he did not know right and wrong, but only wanted to selfish desires, and he was inevitably guilty of corrupting official discipline, and was reprimanded and deposed, and allowed to wear the crime and make meritorious service to the place of exile. ”

Xie Ying glanced at He Zhan and secretly said that this person was really treacherous.

The Queen Mother will definitely not delve into this case at this time and implicate Mao Wei, in fact, Xie Ying's suggestion seems to be an injustice for Eleven Niang, but in fact it is an attempt to make peace with the mud, but He Zhan did not relent, and controlled the situation to only punish Liu Qingcheng, which is in line with the Queen Mother's wishes.

Empress Dowager Wei is really "comforted": "Yi Yi shoulders a heavy responsibility, I also know that she has a lot of difficulties, that Chen, in terms of so-so, is also an elder of Yi Yi, Liu Qingcheng's move is also to give the Chen family the right to suppress Yi Yi's conditions, if I don't punish it, Yi Yi will really be struggling in Taiyuan, okay, this thing will be done, and Yu Yong ......" The Queen Mother smiled coldly: "Eleven Niang wrote to ask him for a capital crime, otherwise he can't deter Xiao Xiao, I was still a little hesitant, after this incident, it's okay, these nobles, Thinking that bribing a few local officials can resist the new policy is simply whimsical, and it is not impossible to make an example of chickens and monkeys, as for Liu Qingcheng...... let Wei Xiang personally reprimand him and demote him to Thanksgiving Lieutenant. ”

Xie Ying didn't understand how serious Thanksgiving Captain's punishment was for a while, and asked Xu Xiuneng afterwards to know the consequences.

"Thanksgiving County belongs to Yazhou, a deserted island, those who are degraded here, even if they do not encounter disasters when crossing the sea and successfully arrive at the land, they are afraid that there is no hope of recovery in this life."

Xie Ying has also been very attentive to geography recently, but she also knows that Yazhou at this time is equivalent to Hainan Province in her later life, at the moment, it can be described as a wild place, Liu Qingcheng does not talk about the opportunity to recover, in the future, I am afraid that even the news of death will not be transmitted back to the family, don't look at it is just degraded, or even an official body, in fact, it is equivalent to being sentenced to life imprisonment.

Although she secretly slandered He Zhan for being ruthless, she and Liu Qingcheng were not related, so she couldn't help her, so of course she ignored them. Liu Qingcheng originally still wanted to be lucky, but he got such a result, and he was wronged and shook, which only attracted Wei Daxiangguo to sneer twice, and he was unwilling in every way, but he was helpless, and he was thinking about informing Taiyuan, and he didn't want to write a book yet, so he came to "visit".

"The Queen Mother ordered Liu Shaofu to leave Beijing immediately and rush to Yazhou, He came to supervise, and advised Liu Shaofu not to think about the letter notice, because He can do it for him."

With such an arrogant attitude, Liu Qingcheng was naturally so angry that he glared, gritted his teeth and retorted: "Even if Liu dethrones Yazhou, he is still an official of the imperial court, what qualifications do the Heshe people have to prohibit freedom?" ”

"You can tell Jinyang in a letter, but is Liu Shaofu willing to die of old age and wilderness? You provoked someone you shouldn't have provoked this time, haven't you ever reflected on it? Mao Wei can't save you, Jinyang Chen is even more difficult to protect himself, Liu Shaofu ...... "He Zhan is very considerate and straightens his clothes: "Emotional things are not the rules of the eunuch field, but I advise you to think twice." ”

As soon as He Zhan left, Liu Qingcheng was paralyzed and staggered, until this time, of course, he also woke up to where he was planted, and he must have misjudged the strength of Princess Jin and Mao Wei, but unfortunately he was in the year of his establishment, and his career was originally smooth, and he had even broken through the five grades, but he was once beaten to the bottom.

So Liu Qingcheng immediately changed his mind to let his wife return to Taiyuan: "You follow me to Yazhou." ”

"Huh?!" Zhu was shocked: "Didn't Lang Jun intend to let the concubine return to Taiyuan and ask the family for help?" ”

Liu Qingcheng sighed: "It's useless, He Shishilang dared to come to the door to threaten, he must be confident, I'm afraid that before you arrive in Taiyuan, you will have a will, for us, it will be a catastrophe!" ”

Although the Zhu family is afraid of the wild land, because of the heavy relationship with Liu Qingcheng, he does not contradict sharing weal and woe, but hesitates: "A pair of children are underage, if you go with Yazhou......"

Liu Qingcheng bowed: "I can't let the child suffer with me, don't worry, I will ask my clan brother to take care of it on his behalf...... Until He Shishilang agrees, he will be sent back to Taiyuan. ”

Of course, he had already expected that the reason why He Shishi had this warning was nothing more than to attack Jinyang Chen, but at this time, Liu Qingcheng himself could not be protected, and he couldn't take care of many outsiders.

Accidentally stood on the wrong team, fortunately, the Jin Wang family did not intend to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, then he may have a chance to recover in the future, Jin Yang Chen has been deeply involved in this matter, even if he reports the news in time, it is actually useless, as for the mother...... In the end, it is the woman of the Liu family in Taiyuan, and she will not be affected by the outside family, Liu Qingcheng knows the way to bend and stretch very well, and knows when to compromise.

In fact, even if he is obsessed, He Zhan will not allow the news to spread back to Taiyuan so quickly, in Shishilang's heart, there is no law to bind, if the warning is fruitless, he does plan to let Liu Qingcheng's wife and child "evaporate from the world", and he will never be able to return to Taiyuan.
