The old military god guessed well, Xia Jingyun did mean to defile himself.

Since entering Beijing, he has done a lot of things, all of which have been done, but it has inevitably aroused the suspicion of Emperor Chongning.

The matter of the Ministry of Rites, although it was skillfully prevaricated by the elder sister with her eagerness, but yesterday's 170,000 taels of silver was real, such a skill, the emperor's heart was like an abyss, he had already seen the suspicion of Emperor Chongning, how could he not take it seriously.

It's not terrible for a courtier to be talented, but if a courtier is both talented and has no flaws, as if he is perfect, how many emperors dare to use such a person?

It's not a great idea, he's seen enough in history.

After Shi Dingzhong crossed the catastrophe safely for the first time, he already understood that what His Majesty wanted was not a moral gentleman, let alone a perfect courtier, what he wanted was a courtier who was loyal to him and could do things well for him, and such a courtier had better have handles and weaknesses to be able to be checked and balanced by him.

Rather than letting him slowly discover and really find his own death hole, it is better to take the initiative to choose one and send it to him.

As for the matter of Ning Bing, he did have some regrets, because he died, and he also wanted to give this hard-working woman a ride, so the two combined, and he had this idea.

But in the end, he couldn't be sure, he could only believe that a master at the pinnacle of power like Emperor Chongning would definitely be able to receive his own shallow signal.

When he returned to the Hou Mansion with his thoughts, he had just sat down and saw a palace attendant who was hurriedly led into the door by Gongsun Jing.

"Grandpa Jin! It's been a long time! ”

In front of Xia Jingyun, Jin Zhong didn't have any arrogance at all, he returned the salute with a smile, then raised his head with his chest up, and cleared his throat, "Your Majesty's words!" ”

Xia Jingyun hurriedly saluted.

"Nonsense! There will be a next time, and we will never be spared! ”

After Jin Zhong finished reading, he hurriedly said, "Young Master Xia, it's over." ”

Xia Jingyun wiped his forehead with his hands, pretending to be sweating profusely, and said worriedly: "Father-in-law Jin, does Your Majesty still have words?" ”

Jin Zhongruo smiled meaningfully and said, "Your Majesty has summoned Concubine De to dinner!" ”

Xia Jingyun was relieved, and personally took Jin Zhong's hand and sent him out of the door.

Seeing Xia Jingyun's intimacy that did not seem to be fake, and he had always been regarded as a crippled person, Jin Zhong, who was rarely recognized by the scholars, suddenly felt a little moved.

When today's incident was reported to the palace, the attitude of these servants towards this matter was completely different from the reaction of the outside world to criticize in unison, and they couldn't help but feel a little bit of agreement with Xia Gongzi, and they all sighed with emotion, valuing love and righteousness, not distrusting people's background, Xia Gongzi is indeed a good person!

Sending a little silver tael and sending Jin Zhong away, Xia Jingyun walked back to the mansion, looked at the worried Gongsun Jing and the others, and grinned, "Spend it safely, everything is under control!" It's okay! ”

Bai Yunbian pursed his mouth and left arrogantly with a look of disbelief.

In the next half day, Xia Jingyun dealt with Wei Yuanzhi, Wang Ruoshui and others, but then an unexpected person came to the door.

Xing Shigu, the current governor of Jingzhao Mansion, took the initiative to board the gate of Jiang'an Hou Mansion for the first time, and expressed great appreciation for Xia Jingyun's actions today.

According to his words, people who can't look down at all beings, the higher they go, the more disaster they will be for this empire and the court, and seeing Xia Jingyun's performance today made him believe in what Xia Jingyun once said.

This initiative naturally made Xia Jingyun very happy and polite, and at the same time, it also made Su Yuanshang thoughtful.

In the study, Su Yuanshang looked at Xia Jingyun, "Did you have this intention before?" I didn't even notice it for a moment. ”

What he said was that Xia Jingyun set up a friendly image towards the common people and his subordinates, so that the common people, or people who were powerful but lowly such as the palace attendants, had a little more affection for Xia Jingyun.

Xia Jingyun waved his hand with a smile, "Don't think that I can calculate anything like a monster, it's just that there are some considerations that are better than nothing, but I didn't expect the response to be unexpected." ”

He smiled and said: "The family is corrupt and greedy, and it has become a moth for the country. But there can't be no family in the court, and a new family will always be formed, so what? Naturally, it is a change of family, so I don't care what these so-called magnates think of me at the moment, as long as Your Majesty passes the pass, as long as the people value me, no one can shake the foundation of my life. All my worries are on these two ends. ”

Su Yuanshang frowned slightly, "Ordinary people, weak and powerless, can they fight against the family?" ”

"Didn't all the soldiers come from among the people? How can it be said that they are weak! ”

Xia Jingyun's smile was very meaningful, "The vast sea of the people is enough to drown everything. ”

——

The development of things was as Xia Jingyun expected, and it was not as turbulent as the people in the Hou Mansion said when they were admonished, countless things happened in Zhongjing City every day, and this conversation was quickly replaced by other things, just chatting about it in the mouths of some good people.

Moreover, Xia Jingyun is even more of a chicken thief, and after going back, he secretly asked Gongsun Jing and Lu Yi to help publicize it through their own channels.

There are two main points to clarify: the first is that Ning Bing is not a prostitute, but a folk girl who has redeemed herself and then died in vain, so as to eliminate the hidden dangers to the greatest extent, so as not to be punished by people in the future;

The second is to take the lead in boasting that Xia Gongzi is the only powerful person who treats us ordinary people as human beings, and the main character is distinctive!

So the aftermath of this matter gradually faded, and Xia Jingyun and Concubine De not only did not suffer any substantial losses, but faintly gained some benefits.

To say that the biggest consequence of this incident is that the Qinglou industry in Zhongjing City has suffered a heavy blow.

A number of girls offered to redeem themselves on the same day, and that night, in the Qinglou, the enthusiasm for service was greatly reduced, and the quality of service was seriously reduced, which made many guests who were looking for pleasure quite dissatisfied.

Naturally, the owner would not condone it, so many women were scolded and beaten, and some of them were even killed and thrown into mass graves.

Under the darkness of the night, there are countless evils lurking, and no one can completely stop them.

When another early morning comes, the light of heaven and earth reappears, as if everything in the darkness has disappeared, the prosperity of the times, the peace of the country, the whole Zhongjing City is lit up, filled with the joyful atmosphere of the Shangyuan Festival.

This is the last carnival of the New Year's Festival, and it is also a psychological hint that most people will give themselves: have fun today, and be serious tomorrow!

The Shangyuan Festival Lantern Festival in Zhongjing City is also a famous event in Daxia, and countless people are willing to come to Zhongjing City regardless of danger, just to see the grand scene.

The imperial court also opened a curfew very intimately, and tonight the capital party was carnival all night, but it was hard to suffer the people of the patrol battalion and Jingzhao Mansion, and almost everyone was on call all night.

Yesterday, Xing Shigu came to visit, and later he couldn't help but talk about it, there seemed to be worry on his face, Xia Jingyun also gave him some suggestions, so that Xing Shigu could get a treasure and go away happily.

At such a time, Xia Jingyun didn't think about pretending to be high, studying at home alone, and going to Bo to have a reputation of being untouchable and peaceful, so he asked Gongsun Jing to help arrange it in advance, and when the time came, he took Feng Xiuyun out of the door together, but he didn't have any eyesight to see it, so he insisted on following.

For the sake of him helping himself speak out yesterday, Xia Jingyun didn't bother to care, and took this light bulb with the group to the street together.

Walking out of the streets and alleys of his house, he saw that there was pine wood as a street lamp at the intersection, and there were patrol battalion soldiers in armor standing on the side, so as to deter Xiaoxiao.

And in the south and east of the city, there are many intersections, and there will be some criminals who are tied under street lamps, and there are signs standing next to them, such as: theft, robbery, indecent assault and other reasons for crimes.

These people are not real-time criminals who have been caught, most of them are misdemeanor criminals who were brought out of the Jingzhao Mansion prison in advance, and they were put here to deter Xiaoxiao.

This is naturally Xia Jingyun's idea.

When everyone walked forward for a while, walked to the royal street, and saw the scene in front of them, even Xia Jingyun felt a little unexpectedly amazing.

The wide royal street has been filled with crowds, and the voices of people are full of laughter, shouting, roaring, cheering, and making up a huge noise.

On both sides of the road, there are stalls with red lanterns hanging on them, and the wish past is like two red ribbons, all the way to the bottom of Miyagi.

Above their heads, there are huge lanterns of different shapes.

The big one can even reach several zhang, the gold and blue are shining together, the splendid is brilliant, the ambilight is colorful, and the eyes are full of dazzling.

And near Miyagi, there is a huge lantern of fifteen or sixteen zhang, which is also dotted with many small lanterns, which looks like a fairyland.

In addition, there are floats sponsored by various well-known shops in Beijing, pulled by huge wheels, on which is a platform, with their own exquisite lanterns, playing the signboards of their own shops, and a group of people singing and dancing on the platform.

There are even some Hu merchants, and there is a beautiful Hu girl on the moving float, dancing Hu Xuan dance.

The flying dress, the exposed abdomen, the sexy navel, and the charm of the light veil made the women immediately reach out to cover the eyes of the man next to them.

Xia Jingyun couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It is worthy of being the world-famous Shangyuan Lantern Festival, which is really breathtaking!" ”

Feng Xiuyun smiled, "In the past, the Shangyuan Lantern Festival was open for ten days in a row, and it was really lively, until the last day, it was claimed that there were 18,000 people who held silk and bamboo, and they heard for dozens of miles. It's a pity that there was a mess later, and the court changed it to only on the day of the Shangyuan Festival, and the momentum was slightly weaker. ”

Baiyunbian shook his fan and opened his mouth to chant, "The moonlight lights are all over the imperial capital, and the incense car is a pass." The words of the ancients are honest and do not deceive! ”

Xia Jingyun bowed slightly, "Let's go, let's go have fun too." ”

Chen Fugui and the Bai family guards were on the left and right, guarding the group of three, slowly strolling around the lantern festival.

Xia Jingyun, Bai Yunbian and Feng Xiuyun guessed the lantern riddle with great interest, and suddenly saw a riddle.

[How to be born black, play an idiom]

Bai Yunbian thought for a while, but couldn't answer, Xia Jingyun was slightly condensed, and was about to answer, when a voice as tactful as a yellow oriole and crisp as a mountain spring sounded on the side, "Is the mystery unclear?" ”

Xia Jingyun subconsciously turned his head to look, just as the other party also looked sideways, the four eyes were facing each other, and the other party smiled, "Xia Gongzi, I robbed you of the question, won't be surprised?" ”

Xia Jingyun smiled and shook his head, "Miss Qin is very smart, and she is willing to bow down. ”

"The little woman's little ability, where can she dare to be arrogant in front of Xie Yuangong."

Qin Li said with a smile: "It's better to meet by chance, I've always been with Xia Gongzi, I met by chance today, why don't you take a few steps together and say a few words?" ”

Thinking of Qin Li's identity, everyone immediately understood that she was going to say something big on behalf of the Qin family and Xia Jingyun, so they retreated a little bit with interest.

Bai Yunbian also wanted to come up and introduce himself in front of the beauty to show off, and even thought about the limerick, but Chen Fugui directly ripped it apart with his clothes.

Xia Jingyun smiled at Qin Li and said, "I haven't thanked Miss Qin for giving the jade plate yet." ”

Qin Li shook his head gently, "No thanks, I just hope that Xia Gongzi will leave a Mobao in Mingyu Tower another day." If there is a chapter like when Mingyue has it, it can be regarded as the little woman owes Xia Gongzi. ”

Xia Jingyun smiled and waved his hand, "The article is natural, and the magic hand is occasional." No one can say for sure. ”

Qin Li's eyes lit up, "That's just a sentence, isn't it!" Xia Gongzi's poetry is really breathtaking. ”

Xia Jingyun smiled, "How could Miss Qin come out alone with the maidservant?" ”

Qin Li understood the meaning of Xia Jingyun's words, and couldn't help blushing slightly, but fortunately, he couldn't see it under the light, "What happened to the eldest brother that day, it was indeed his fault, the Qin family is willing to donate a sum of money to the Salesian Bureau to help them take in more boys and girls, so that there are fewer fallen little girls to apologize for their sins." ”

She looked at Xia Jingyun, "The Qin family doesn't want to be an enemy of Gongzi because of such a thing. ”

Xia Jingyun said softly: "With the strength of the Qin family, it is not because the Qin family is afraid of me, but because of the consistent family motto and family style, pay attention to a harmonious and prosperous family, and do not want to make enemies, right?" ”

Seeing that Xia Jingyun took the initiative to speak for her, Qin Li nodded, "After I go back, I will try my best to persuade the eldest brother to stop doing things again, and there may be a day when he will turn the conflict into a jade silk in the future." ”

Xia Jingyun looked at her, but didn't give any promises, just said, "I don't want to have a needless conflict with the Qin family. ”

Qin Li turned his head to look at Feng Xiuyun, who was wearing a long skirt, cold and noble, and then smiled at Xia Jingyun and said, "Since this is the case, I won't disturb Mr. Xia and take the beauty together, and say goodbye." ”

Waiting for Qin Li to leave, the stall owner hurriedly handed over a gift, saying that it was a reward for answering the riddle correctly.

This is Qin Li's answer, and naturally it should be Qin Li's.

Xia Jingyun hurriedly looked around, but there were a lot of people here, where was there still the figure of the master and servant.

He smiled helplessly, and was about to send someone to send it tomorrow, when he suddenly heard a call faintly behind him, turned his head along the way, Qin Li stood under the eaves behind the stall, and said with a smile: "I've sent you, go back and return me a poem!" ”

Xia Jingyun nodded with a smile and waved his hand.

After a night of carnival, the fifteenth day of the first month of the twenty-fourth year of Chongning officially bid farewell to the world, and when the sixteenth day of the first month came, many powerful people and almost all the scholars in Zhongjing City were attracted by another major event.

The Spring Festival banquet of the Guozijian who accepted the apprentices of Tushan Sanjie is about to arrive.

Two-in-one, I wrote it fiercely yesterday, and today I still don't see the situation, and I strive to be able to add more.
