Scholars are all high, and Chu Zhixia knows it.

Qinggao is also divided into fake Qinggao and true Qinggao, such as Cheng Yuan's father who sells his daughter for glory, who keeps saying benevolence, righteousness and morality, father and son filial piety, but he is a real hypocrite; Huo Wenqing treats princes and nobles, peddlers and pawns equally, although his sharpness makes people want to retreat, but he is the same on the outside.

"I'm not a gentleman, and I'm not a good person." Chu Zhixia thought for a while and said, "If you don't have any intention of His Royal Highness the Prince, I can help you." ”

"With the merits of the Chu clan in the clouds guarding the border passes, as long as you don't kill your father and kill the king, I won't turn my face whatever you say." Huo Wenqing raised his hand and said, "I would like to hear about it." ”

"The crown prince is determined to marry you, but whether he can marry or not depends on one person." Chu Zhixia raised a finger and said calmly.

"Who?"

Chu Zhixia pointed to the sky.

"Your Majesty?" Huo Wenqing had some doubts, "But the prince has to marry after all, rather than letting him choose one of the daughters of the Chen family's roots, His Majesty may be more willing to let the prince marry me, after all, the Huo family has no reputation and no power." ”

"That was before." Chu Zhixia said, "What if someone from the Huo family joins the office?" ”

As soon as the Huo family entered the court, the prince's move to marry Huo Wenqing would immediately turn sour. From the folk love and natural pair, it has become a reading seed that can't wait to win over Huo's famous family.

"It's easy to say, does Miss Chu think it's a simple thing to join the office?" Huo Wenqing sighed.

""Ten Concerts of Military Reform, has Miss Huo heard of it?"

Huo Wenqing nodded.

These ten pieces of music are so troublesome that chickens and dogs jump up and down, destroy the accounts, destroy the accounts, and hit the south wall without hitting the south wall, Rao is Huo Wenqing has also heard of it in Jiangnan. Pei Cifu, who proposed these ten songs, has not been in the court in a down-to-earth manner for several days, and still lives with Pei Zhang in the Autumn Leaf Mountain Residence.

"One of the most important of the ten notes is to clear the acres of fields, which is not easy to do. Those who preside over this must be prostitute, and if they are foolish, they will be deceived by their subordinates; If they are of bad character, they will have a nest of snakes and rats and harm the people. Chu Zhixia spread his hands and looked at the poor dagger, "The Huo family has both intelligence and virtue, and they are the best candidates." ”

"You don't need to say no to your majesty about this marriage, I remember that your two elder brothers have been admitted to the jinshi, as long as they recommend themselves to your majesty, your majesty has no reason to refuse. The prince will retreat in the face of difficulties. ”

Huo Wenqing took a deep breath, lowered his eyelashes and pondered for a moment, looked at Chu Zhixia, and said with a smile: "I thought that Miss Chu was flying eagles and lackeys in the imperial capital all day long drinking flower wine, but I didn't expect you to be so familiar with the new policy." ”

Chu Zhixia felt a little dangerous, and sure enough, he heard Huo Wenqing say, "This ten pieces of music won't have anything to do with you, right?" ”

"What can it do with me?" Chu Zhixia said casually, "I'm just a reckless person who fights and kills at every turn." ”

"Your plan is very good, but I don't know if it will work." Huo Wenqing shook his head, "My two brothers left with their crowns hanging up before and after, but they couldn't stand the pickled atmosphere of officialdom. Our Huo family's morale is too high, don't say that Mao recommended himself, even if His Majesty personally issued an order, they may not be able to accept it. ”

"Miss Huo, you just said that 'the saint has clouds, the poor are good for themselves, and the good are for the world'. This move is to save you from the power of the prince, but not to save the people of the world? It is the blessing of the people of my Great Zhou to be an upright person like your brother as an official. ”

Chu Zhixia bit out a tooth mark on the coarse wheat cake and said solemnly: "You grew up in the people, you should know how deep the suffering of the land annexation has brought to the people. Your brother may not have wanted to save them, but he was powerless at the time. Now that the New Deal is about to be implemented, it is time for them to help the world. ”

Huo Wenqing looked at Chu Zhixia fixedly, suddenly tidied up his clothes, and solemnly bowed deeply to her. When Chu Zhixia was inexplicable, the door behind her was suddenly opened, and two scholar-like men walked out to greet her.

Chu Zhixia was a little surprised, she didn't have the extraordinary ear power of Shen Zhou, and she could hear people's heartbeats and breathing clearly through the door panel. What's more, the two of them were motionless in the room, Chu Zhixia didn't expect that there were people inside.

"Huo Shi Wensong."

"Huo's Wenbai."

The two adult men did not treat Chu Shixia as a little girl, and meticulously made a great gift to her as a scholar, full of respect and admiration.

"Chu in the clouds, Mo Xue." Chu Zhixia wiped the flour off his cheeks in embarrassment and returned the salute.

"The Chu clan in the clouds is worthy of the name of heroism and heroism, although Miss Chu is young, she has insight into the government and the people, which is the luck of my great Zhou." Huo Wensong said.

"You praised it falsely," Chu Shixia took a deep breath and said with a wry smile, "It's my class that gets the axe." Since the two of them have long been in the imperial capital, why haven't they shown up for a long time? ”

The Huo family has a distant uncle who is a bookworm who loves ancient book posts, so he lingers in the imperial capital and works as a copyist to make a living. This uncle has no parents in the family, no children under his knees, and is a lonely man.

Not long ago, he died of illness in the imperial capital, and the Huo family brothers went north to collect his body and support the coffin.

Huo Wenqing originally had a marriage that was a fingertip marriage, which was a friendship between the ancestors of the Huo family. But the person who signed the marriage contract suddenly proposed to withdraw from his relatives for some reason, and Huo Wenqing also took advantage of this time to go north and come to the imperial capital to withdraw from the person.

At that time, the Huo family brothers and sisters did not take this matter to heart, since the two brothers resigned and left, although some people praised them for not being in the same stream with the world, there were also many people who tended to be inflammatory.

They just thought that the family was disgusted when they saw that the Huo family was not powerful.

"The family urged frequently, and Wen Qing was an arrogant person, so he left our brothers and went to the imperial capital first." Huo Wensong groaned, "I didn't expect that something would happen in just one day's work." ”

The Huo family brothers and sisters didn't expect such a thing waiting for them at all, they only thought it was two ordinary red and white things, so they didn't hide their whereabouts.

"That's not right," Chu Zhixia frowned and flatly denied it, "Those begonias were prepared at least two months in advance. ”

The crown prince does not have the ability to predict the future, so it is naturally impossible to know that Huo Wenqing will be ruined in two months, and he has to go north to withdraw from his relatives in person. Is this "resignation" really the temporary intention of the marriage partner?

If the Huo family didn't die, and Huo Wenqing was alone in the imperial capital, even if the Huo family brothers wanted to borrow money to destroy the marriage, it would be beyond the reach of the whip.

It's a big game of chess.

"That's right." Huo Wensong exhaled a breath of white air with a deep expression, "So the two brothers have not shown up. ”

"Where's the guy who quit?" Chu Zhixia asked.

"He didn't see me, he only asked people to return Geng Ti and the marriage book." Huo Wenqing shook his head, "I didn't even get into the gate of his house." ”

Whether the man was coerced or lured, or whether he was dead, the family was under the control of the prince, and they did not know.

Chu Zhixia said decisively: "Tomorrow is the last day of the court meeting, and Pei Cifu will introduce two people for Your Majesty. I hope the two of you don't shirk. ”

Huo Wensong and Huo Wenbai treated her together.

"Today's great kindness, the Huo family will definitely repay it in the future."

——

When Chu Zhixia returned to the Autumn Leaves Mountain Residence, he told Pei Zhang the ins and outs of this matter.

Pei Zhang shook his head frequently after hearing this, "I really didn't see the wrong person at the beginning." ”

"You said the prince?"

"I'm talking about you."

Pei Zhang said slowly: "Although you eat, drink, prostitute and gamble with all five drugs, and conspiracy and tricks at your fingertips, you really can't be called a gentleman, but you still have a bit of conscience." Otherwise, if you shake off a Huo family who admits death, you won't be able to do it today. ”

Chu Shixia was squeezed by him, and sneered: "Of course I can't compare to Pei Gongzi's Guangfeng Jiyue." But someone always has to do the dirty work, and if you can't do it, I can't let the Fourth Highness do it. My life is hard, this blood water of the Yellow Springs Hell, I will take a trip for you first, and it doesn't hurt. ”

Pei Zhang picked up the teacup and touched it on her cup.

"I'm still a little worried." Chu Zhixia's eyebrows jumped inexplicably, "I always feel that things won't go so smoothly." ”

"Aren't you hard-hitting?"

"Pei Gongzi thinks, how did I know that my life was hard?" Chu Shixia rolled his eyes, "Living peacefully and without disasters is called good luck." When you go out, ten people want to stab you, and the knife hits the vital point but you don't die, which is called hard life. ”

Pei Zhang was moved by her vivid and bloody metaphor, and was speechless, only smiling and sighing.

Chu Zhixia pinched his fingers and asked Pei Zhang seriously: "If you are the prince, Huo Wenqing will directly turn his face after you express his position, and he doesn't care about any rules, wind and snow, and Chinese New Year's Eve, and directly rushed back to Jiangnan overnight." What do you do? ”

Pei Zhang thought seriously.

"In fact, with Huo Wenqing's character, if I hadn't come to the door, she would probably have left directly! The mountains are high and the rivers are far away, even if the prince asks for the holy decree, he can't find where Huo Wenqing is. If he is forced to marry, his reputation will be ruined. ”

Chu Zhixia clapped his hands, "Do you think the prince is stupid?" ”

"Hypocrisy, perhaps, but not stupid." Pei Zhang said decisively.

"Then why didn't he think of ......" Chu Zhixia stopped suddenly.

What if the prince thought of it?

After the poetry will give jade pendants, begonias make auspicious rui, and the market recites life poems, does the prince still have a backhand? What if Huo Wenqing doesn't eat hard and soft, and refuses to obey to death, what if he goes back to Jiangnan directly?

"On the bright side, there is no way." Pei Zhang said, "The Huo family can't move easily, rumors and killings are not just talking, and it's not easy to provoke scholars." The prince wants to marry Huo Wenqing, not for fame, not for self-destruction. ”

"But behind the scenes, it's not necessarily, right?" Chu Zhixia was uneasy.

Chu Zhixia licked his chapped lips, and a ridiculous and crazy idea emerged, "What if the crown prince imprisons Huo Wenqing in the East Palace and then asks the emperor for marriage?" ”

"How to close ......" Pei Zhang bit the tip of his tongue and looked at her in shock.

"The Huo family lives in a post house, there is only one maid and one post guard, and there is no one to open the door. Isn't it easier for the prince to do something in the imperial capital? Chu Zhixia's heart was pounding, and she hoped that she had guessed wrong.

But there was a voice in the shadows, a cold mockery.

The two of them looked at each other for a long time, and Chu Zhixia suddenly bounced up from his seat and rushed out in a hurry. The door happened to be opened, and Chu Zhixia slammed his head into Yuzhu. Yuzhu was hit by her and almost flew out, and grabbed her.

"Miss, why are you going? Something happened out there. Yuzhu said.

"What's wrong?" Chu Zhixia furrowed his eyebrows.

"There's a post house that has gone out of the water, and it's a big fire."

"How can you fool readers' comments? (Think about it)"
