Chapter 18: Yu Lin Wei (4)
Deng House.
As soon as Deng Mian got out of the carriage, he was pushed into the house by the front and back, and the doctor who had already prepared him squeezed forward with care to diagnose his pulse. Deng Mian was still immersed in the shame of losing face, and plunged into his clothes and refused to see anyone.
"Don't even look at me!" Deng Mian choked up and said, "Let my father come, let my father come!" ”
Dali Siqing is nearly forty years old, and he has such an only son when he is old, and he has grown so big in the palm of his hand, and he has never suffered any grievances.
Hearing that the only son was beaten and hung in front of the Yulin Guard, Dali Siqing almost sprayed a mouthful of old blood on the table, and was trembling and rushed home with help.
Deng Mian hummed and chirped and lay in the room for a long time, only to see the old father who was late, and he cried out in his voice, "Father, that Chu Zhixia is too deceitful, she and her, I and I ...... it."
It's hard to say.
"My son doesn't cry, my father knows." Dali Siqing's face was full of vicissitudes, and he patted his son's back comfortingly.
"I don't share the sky with her surname Chu!"
Dali Siqing's face was bitter, "The post of the head of the Sanwei Institute was granted by His Majesty, you and her are not at odds with each other, but they are under the eaves and have to bow their heads!" ”
Deng Mian choked for a moment and changed his words, "I can't afford to provoke, can't I hide?" I'm not going to do this Yu Lin Wei! ”
"No." Dali Siqing sighed heavily, "Think about it, if you all leave the Sanwei Office, wouldn't the remaining military membership be given to whoever she Chu Zhixia wants?" Yulin Wei Sanwei really wants to be surnamed Chu. ”
A huge fear hit his heart, and Deng Mian trembled and asked, "Father, do you mean that I still have to work as an errand in Yulinwei?" ”
Dali Siqing nodded with difficulty.
Deng Mian cried in despair.
——
Yu Linwei.
Yu Linwei is also known as "Fireworks Alley".
Just because the domineering Yu Linwei often brought the girls in the brothel back to spend the night, an unknown poet indignantly inscribed a poem on the wall: "The white horse and red clothes are drunk and fragrant, when will the whole army go out of the clouds?" ”。 For a while, the people of the imperial capital spread the word of mouth, until the embarrassed Yu Linwei fought and smashed a few shops.
Chu Zhixia stepped into the alley and glanced at the chariot strangely. There was no sign on the chariot, only a low-hanging curtain of embroidered gold chrysanthemums fluttering in the wind.
Seeing the curtain move, Chu Zhixia stopped with understanding.
The plain white, without a trace of calluse, lifted a corner of the car curtain, and a young man's low voice came, "Miss Chu." ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it will be inconvenient to bow at the end of the year." Chu Zhixia bowed slightly on the horseback.
"They won't leave Yu Linwei," Bai Huan said lightly, "Don't provoke the ministers of the imperial capital anymore, it's useless." The Yulin Wei Sanwei is just a place to raise the children of useless families, and the treasury does not care about such expenses. ”
"Your Highness thinks you seem to know my thoughts very well," Chu Shixia smiled, "Is it a little conceited?" ”
Bai Huan was silent, as if he had seen the man's smile from the silhouette cast on the curtain.
Fly freely.
"I don't expect to be able to subdue them or sweep them out of the house with a single beating." Chu Shixia said lazily, "Your Highness is too worried, I just don't see anyone who doesn't work with military salaries, after all, what we lack most in the cloud is money and food." ”
Bai Huan was shocked by his gaffe and was dumbfounded for a while.
"Your Highness has nothing else to do, go back, Yu Linwei is a bit of a fool, and it won't be good to bump into you later."
"Goshitai is ready to impeach you." Bai Huan lowered the curtain, "This reminder is the affection of the sentence of breakfast." ”
"One sentence for another, we're even." Chu Zhixia stretched his waist and put the whip on his shoulder, "Goodbye." ”
The white horse under Chu Zhixia's crotch walked into the alley with leisurely steps.
It wasn't until the sound of horses' hooves disappeared that Bai Huan sighed and said to the outside, "Let's go." ”
——
Yu Lin Weiquan of the Sanwei Institute was pulled to the school field and stood honestly under the scorching sun. A group of half-grown teenagers had blue noses and swollen faces, their expressions were half unconvinced and half afraid, standing sparsely and lazily, like wilted green onions.
Chu Zhixia raised his eyelashes like a crow's feather, and showed a gentle and harmless, pure and innocent smile like a lamb to the group of Yu Lin Wei, laughing so that the two of them trembled, and a cold air rushed straight to the heavenly spirit cover.
"I've seen your martial arts, and now that I'm under my command, let's start learning from Zamabu." Chu Zhixia smashed a porcelain cup, and said with a broken porcelain piece in his fingertips, "You don't want me to teach you if you don't know how to do it, right?" ”
The Yulin guards slowly put out a shelf.
With a "bang", the broken porcelain piece knocked on Deng Mian's knee, making him wail in pain and almost knelt down.
"If you ask me to teach again, it's not just that." Chu Zhixia picked up the kettle and poured it full of tea, and said slowly.
Deng Mian swallowed his anger and steadied his horse's steps.
Chu Zhixia clearly didn't look at them a few times, but as long as someone was lazy, some porcelain pieces flew out, hitting people with their legs and rolling all over the ground.
At the end of the day, Deng Mian didn't even have the strength to scold, and when he got home, he held the kettle and drank water. His fine skin and tender flesh were red and hot from the sun, and the blue and purple on his calves and arms were connected.
On the second day, Chu Zhixia asked the Yulin guards to run around the school yard with iron pieces tied to their legs; On the third day, Chu Zhixia fought with them one by one, and everyone turned on their backs; On the fourth day, the archers who missed the arrow were ordered to target the apples.
On the fifth day, Deng Mian refused to go to Yulinwei again, and bluntly said that if his father forced him again, he would crash to death on the pillar.
"If you don't go, you won't go, today, Chu Zhixia won't be able to go to Yulinwei." Dali Temple Qingzhi proudly hugged the official hat and walked out of the house.
——
Xuanzheng Palace.
Chu Zhixia walked into the hall wearing a light armor, and the sunlight shone obliquely, illuminating her armor like snow.
There were reddish-purple official uniforms on both sides, and countless pairs of cloudy eyes looked at her silently. At the end of the bright hall, where the sun does not shine, is a beaded curtain, and the emperor sits with his hands down, and the regent sits like a mountain under the seat.
"Chu Qing, someone impeached you to be harsh, do you have anything to say?" The emperor's voice came from the high hall, ethereal and distant.
With the official rank of the head of the Yulin Guard, Chu Zhixia originally didn't even have the qualifications to go to the court. The current situation is all up to her to offend everything that the imperial magnates can offend, plus the regent to add fuel to the fire.
Chu Zhixia's back was not half bent, and she arched her hand, "There's nothing to say." ”
The emperor raised his eyebrows and said, "You admit it?" ”
"Dare to ask if it was General Habayashi who impeached the ministers?"
"It's not."
"Is that the impeachment of the commander of the forbidden army?"
"Not really."
"Then I don't think it's the commander of the Gyeonggi Guard." Chu Zhixia wrote lightly, "Forgive the minister for being outspoken, those who have not led the army, how can they talk about 'being strict'? The courtiers may pity Yu Linwei's youth, but the enemy will not be merciful. ”
"Miss Chu, I'm afraid I've been in the clouds for a long time." The old minister with two slender beards on his lips snorted coldly, "The imperial capital is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, where is the war, and where is the enemy?" ”
"Yulin Wei is the guard of the Son of Heaven, drinking flower wine and fighting in a group is a small matter, and putting His Majesty's safety at risk is a big matter." Chu Zhixia squinted, "Your Excellency thinks, yes or no?" ”
This sentence is not for people to take it, and it is not for people to accept it. The power of the regent is tilted towards the government and the opposition, and he must also take into account the tongue of the people in the world, and cannot touch the emperor in the slightest. Who would dare to say that it doesn't matter if this puppet emperor is dead or alive struggling to escape control?
Before the smile on the Emperor's lips could be suppressed, a heavy sigh was heard.
The gray-haired old man knelt down tremblingly, and raised his official hat with both hands, "Young General Chu has a good tongue, which makes the old minister ashamed to death." The old minister only has an uncompetitive grandson, and he can't be loyal to His Majesty, so please ask Your Majesty to expel him from Yulinwei! ”
There was an uproar in the hall.
The old minister looked to be in his sixties, and he cried so much that his liver and intestines were broken. A group of people hugged him and patted him on the back.
It seems that Chu Zhixia is aggressive.
"Major General Chu has the ambition to serve the country, even if it is inappropriate, there is no need to be so embarrassed." The regent said lightly, "Your Majesty, is it better to dismiss General Chu Shao from his post just now?" ”
The Emperor jerked his grip on the armrest, staring into the Regent's eyes through a beaded curtain.
The old minister who knelt on the ground and begged for mercy was a well-known civil minister, and many young people in the court were his students. He knelt down and cried, pushing Chu Shixia to the opposite side of the scholars of the Manchu Dynasty, unable to go up or down.
"Your Majesty, the minister asked for a fine for three months and was confined to the house." Chu Zhixia said in a loud voice, "I am willing to kneel in front of the Xuanzheng Hall and confess to the old gentleman." ”
The regent was also stunned, "This can't be helped, the king of Zhenbei has no children and no daughters, and he regards a pair of younger siblings as his own......"
Chu Zhixia is in the imperial capital, and if she kneels, it is the Chu family who kneels.
Who dares to let Chu Mingyan, who has 300,000 elite soldiers in his hands and beats the Beidi people, kneel?! and he is not afraid of people breaking his backbone!
What's more, when she knelt, people could no longer find the reason for the attack, and Yulin Wei Sanwei let her handle it from then on.
"The minister is young and frivolous, and he has to run for his children and grandchildren in his twilight years, and he should be punished." Chu Zhixia didn't give an inch, "Heaven and Earth Prince, even my brother, has to be behind Your Majesty." In front of the Xuanzheng Palace, the ministers knelt. ”
The emperor let out a long breath, and his tense body relaxed, "Quasi." ”
——
The sun is getting brighter, and the sun is shining brightly.
The voice in the Xuanzheng Hall flickered far and near, and it was the courtiers deliberating.
Chu Zhixia knelt on the steps in front of the Xuanzheng Palace, his underwear soaked with hot sweat. A drop of sweat slid down her sideburns, outlined her chin, and hit her shoulder armor with a "snap". But her back was always straight.
A shadow came over and enveloped her, and the thin white fat face smiled at her, "Miss Chu has worked hard, come and rest for a while and eat a piece of chilled fruit......"
Chu Shixia was surprised by the stupidity of this person, if the emperor ordered it, then the emperor would be even more stupid than she imagined.
She sneered, "No need. ”
If she slackens at the moment, she will be in vain.
"Your Majesty did not mean to condemn ......"
"What do you mean, Your Majesty, it's not your father-in-law's turn to put the beak. His Majesty asked the minister to kneel, and the minister should kneel honestly. Chu Zhixia pushed away his umbrella, his wrist was as hard as an iron block, and said coldly, "Please also ask your father-in-law to move." ”
The eunuch's face was ugly, as if he had eaten a fly, and he answered and hurried away.
