Chapter 270: Confrontation and Exchange
"Whew!"
Coming out of the back door of the Hou Mansion, Xia Jingyun sat in the carriage, panting, "These people are too crazy." ”
Chen Fugui drove the car himself and said with a smile: "This kind of scene, it's too late for others to be happy, so the son will hide and leave." ”
"What's so happy about this, it's all about welcoming and sending without any nutrition. If I really like to greet and send off, is it bad for me to go to the Qinglou? ”
"Huh?"
"It's nothing, let's go, don't miss the hour."
The Qin family is such a big family, and an heir has died, so naturally some people are in charge, and there is no need for Xia Jingyun to help with anything, and he is not even in the team, but directly out of the city and waiting at the burial place.
After the huge team, scattering coins all the way, and finally arriving at the place with the coffin, and completing the whole process of burial, Xia Jingyun followed the team of some other relatives and friends to go forward to pay tribute.
Seeing that Xia Jingyun actually came over in person, the old master of Qin was also a little moved, and stepped forward politely.
Xia Jingyun shook his head and said seriously: "No matter what, Brother Qin's death also has something to do with me, and it is also appropriate to come to pay tribute to a stick of incense, and Duke Fengyang does not have to be polite." ”
After speaking, Xia Jingyun went over and saluted a stick of incense in a proper manner.
After finishing the matter, Xia Jingyun said to the new and old generations of the Qin family: "Fengyang Gong, Qin family master, you have a lot of things today, so the younger generation will not bother much, and you will visit another day." Leave. ”
The head of the Qin family nodded, "Young Master Xia, I'll send you!" ”
The old master slapped him away, "There are so many people here, you have to tire the old man to death!" Tell Ah Li to send it! ”
Qin Li was called, although she was also a little blindsided, but she was not reluctant to get along with Xia Jingyun, so she walked down the mountain with him side by side.
Although there is no Tsing Yi and Tsing Yi today, a pair of white clothes are also quite a match.
Halfway up the mountainside, the old man and the Qin family head stood together, looking at the backs of the two, the old man raised his chin, "What do you think?" ”
Looking at his father who was squeezing his eyebrows at him, the head of the Qin family suddenly flashed a bright light in his heart, "Father, you want Ah Li to follow Xia"
"What? Talented and beautiful, what a match! ”
"It's not a question of worthiness or not!" The head of the Qin family said in a low voice: "Aren't people already talking to that girl from the Su family?" ”
"Already?" The old master of the Qin family snorted, "The Su family has no old man Su, what kind of stupid things are they doing, and they actually have to wait for the results of Xia Jingyun's imperial examination to be decided." We don't have to be so troublesome, if it's no problem, the old man will go directly to Concubine De to propose marriage, and then send someone from Surabaya Prefecture to pick up his parents, and do it directly, what is important is a sincerity! ”
The head of the Qin family couldn't help but nodded, "Now the results of the examination have not yet come out, and the palace examination will have to wait for a month, it is indeed sincere and wrong, father!" ”
He was almost wrapped around, and quickly came back to his senses and said, "That's also someone else's first, let's be like this, okay?" ”
The old master glanced at him angrily, "So if you are stupid, you will suffer it in the future, don't think it's wrong!" What is our Qin family? It's a businessman! You go out to talk about business, and others come to talk about it, so you don't go? As long as you don't sign a contract, can't you grab it? Among these people, the dragon and phoenix have caught one, the Qin family has been stable for decades, what morality and morality are you still entangled with there, and when the Qin family is ruined, you can talk about your morality with a broken bowl and broken shoes! ”
The head of the Qin family was stunned and speechless.
——
Coming back from outside the city, Xia Jingyun first went to the main gate to take a look, and looked at the battle that was even more popular than the Liuyun Tianxiang Pavilion, so he immediately decided to go around the back door and enter the mansion.
When I arrived at the house, before I sat down, I saw Gongsun Jing walking over quickly, "Childe, Gonggong Jin is here, Your Majesty has summoned you to the palace!" ”
Xia Jingyun got up immediately, Chen Fugui was about to turn to the back door, but Xia Jingyun waved his hand directly, "Go to the front door!" ”
When I arrived at the main gate, there were still waiting visitors at the door, and when I saw Xia Jingyun, I immediately surrounded him.
But before they could get close, Jin Zhong walked out with his sleeves cuffed, his eyes swept away, and everyone was immediately frightened by the clothes on his body.
Xia Jingyun smiled and arched his hand, "I have something to do, I can't help it, I'm out of company, you Haihan." ”
Immediately walked out with Jin Zhong, and no one who didn't have long eyes dared to stop him.
I only heard a burst of emotion behind me.
"It's worthy of Xia Gongzi, I think it's Your Majesty's call again, it's really a saint!"
"But isn't it, he is still unofficial and unpositioned, and he is already a treatment that many people have not had in their lifetime."
"Whew! Among the dragons and phoenixes like Xia Gongzi, anyone can compare? I'll put the words here, and when he is a junior high school, the award is definitely the highest in the current department. ”
"Of course, he is not the highest, and we are not convinced!"
That is, Baiyunbian has been messing with his classmates and bedmates for the past two days, and he did not come to the scene in person, otherwise he would have come to the last sentence of the husband!
After walking about 100 steps, he found the carriage parked at the entrance of the alley, and a small group of guards of the Praetorian Army guarding here.
Jin Zhong waited for Xia Jingyun to get into the car, Xia Jingyun smiled and said, "Father-in-law Jin, let's come up and sit together for a while." ”
Jin Zhong shook his head, and said respectfully but detachedly: "Young Master Xia, the palace has its own rules, and I don't dare to ride with you, just the slave and maid ride a horse." ”
Xia Jingyun was not reluctant, and lowered the curtain with a smile, but the moment the curtain was lowered, the smile on his face disappeared instantly.
The signal given by Jin Zhong is very dangerous, and it is troublesome now.
Sure enough, as he expected, being led into the Qianyuan Palace, Emperor Chongning waved away all the guards, leaving only Gao Yi to accompany him.
Then looked at Xia Jingyun, like thunder on the ground, and his tone suddenly rose, "Xia Jingyun, are you guilty!" ”
The Son of Heaven was furious, ambushed millions of corpses, bleeding and drifting, under the aura of power, under the threat of life and death, even if Fang Cai had already prepared, Xia Jingyun couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and immediately leaned over, "The minister is terrified!" The minister has always been loyal and patriotic, self-denying and law-abiding, I don't know what His Majesty is saying! ”
"I don't know?"
Emperor Chongning snorted coldly, and he didn't smile, "It is said that you Xia Jingyun is a genius from heaven, and it is rare in the world to scheming, and there are other things you don't know?" ”
The emperor and the woman also have something in common, he is irritable and scolding, but you don't have to worry too much, but when he calmly ignores you and even ignores you, you should realize the seriousness of the problem.
Xia Jingyun also tested the information he wanted, and immediately said, "Your Majesty Mingjian!" The minister is by no means using His Majesty for his own selfish interests, and even pushing His Majesty to a place of embarrassment, this matter is really self-preservation, with Qin Sichao, oh no, with Qin's calculations, I am afraid that he will be let go that day, and the minister will be imprisoned the next day, so that the sky is fruitless, and the earth is no door! ”
"Still pretending to be stupid!"
Emperor Chongning snorted and pointed at him angrily, "Don't you think that there is another way to deal with this matter?" Or are you the faint monarch who doesn't even care about the ancestors of the country? ”
The implication is obvious, I want to abolish the prince, this is something you all know, you won't wait for me to abolish the prince, and then report this matter?
It's about the country, is it possible that I will still protect the Qin family?
I'm sorry I just thought you would. Xia Jingyun muttered in his heart, and immediately knelt down, knowing that this matter was wrong for Emperor Chongning, so he began to play a scoundrel.
"Your Majesty, the minister has no such intention, the minister is young and immature, worried about the king and the country, if there is anything thoughtless, I hope Your Majesty will be guilty!"
Emperor Chongning said hatefully: "Surrender? You have arrested such a big thief and traitor for me, and swept out a clear situation for me, what crime did I inflict on you? Won't the people of the world break my backbone? ”
Xia Jingyun was immediately so frightened that he didn't dare to speak, "Your Majesty, the heart of the minister can be seen by the sun and the moon, and in this life, I only wish to be a sage and a sage, and the country and the people are safe!" ”
After burying his head in the end, he didn't hear the imaginary answer, and when he was so nervous that he was about to lose his breath, and he couldn't hold back his mind and wanted to raise his head, Emperor Chongning's voice sounded above his head, "Raise your head." ”
He slowly raised his head, looked at the majestic face in front of him, which was once handsome but had given birth to some old meaning, and listened to him speak: "You are very smart, I am reluctant to punish you." But this time, you need to help me finish it. ”
Xia Jingyun's heart jumped suddenly, and he understood what Emperor Chongning meant: he wanted him to help design the abolished prince.
From the point of view of interests, he really did not have any reason to refuse.
And in the current situation, he has no room and room for bargaining.
He could only nod his head, "Solve the worries of the king, do your duty as a minister, and do not give up." ”
"Alright! Between you and me, why should you be so polite. ”
Emperor Chongning immediately put on a warm smile, as if the anger just now did not exist, "Gao Yi, give the seat!" ”
Then he reclined on the couch and asked kindly like an ordinary brother-in-law, "How did you do in the spring exam?" ”
Xia Jingyun still didn't dare to slack off, "It can be regarded as exerting his true strength, but what grade his real strength is among the candidates, the minister doesn't know." ”
"Hahahaha!" Emperor Chongning seemed to have completely forgotten Fang Cai's displeasure, and laughed a few times, "If you can get the top three in the exam, I will give you the top prize." If you can't win, then don't blame me for not helping you! ”
Xia Jingyun hurriedly avoided the table and got up, "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen!" ”
Emperor Chongning raised his eyebrows, "Supposedly, shouldn't you say a few words at this time?" A few more big words? ”
Xia Jingyun said: "The minister is still quite confident in his skills to help the people, if he really tries the top three, he can also convince the public, the so-called big husband should not give in to others, why be pedantic and rigid, and resign His Majesty's kindness." ”
"I like your nature!" Emperor Chongning smiled and said: "Don't worry, you have made so many great achievements for the country, and you have done so many great things for me, I will remember them for you, and after the palace examination, I will give you a surprise!" ”
After speaking, he seemed to have spent some energy because of today's change of face, and waved his hand after Xia Jingyun's politeness, "Okay, go to Changle Palace to say goodbye." ”
Xia Jingyun walked out of the Qianyuan Palace, stood by the door, deliberately leaned against the wall and slowly took a few deep breaths before he settled down, and followed Gao Yi to the harem with fluttering feet.
The guards at the gate reported the situation to Emperor Chongning, who smiled and seemed to be satisfied with his monarchy.
When she arrived at the harem, Concubine De got the news in advance, so she was naturally very happy, and immediately ordered someone to prepare a lot of melon and fruit snacks, and the two sisters and brothers were together and chatted hotly.
Xia Jingyun's mouth was full, and he finally swallowed it before he spoke: "Sister, tell me about the prince?" ”
Concubine De was stunned for a moment, then put down the fruit that she was about to hand to Xia Jingyun, and said slowly: "The crown prince was born by the first queen, and His Majesty was still in the hidden mansion at that time, and he was made the prince soon after he was born, and then His Majesty ascended the throne, and he naturally became the prince. But with the death of the former queen, His Royal Highness the crown prince gradually grew in wings, and without the reconciliation of the former queen, he gradually became estranged from His Majesty. ”
"The first queen's family background is not prominent, but it is not bad, and the children of the clan are also quite competitive, and they have received the favor of Your Majesty, and now several uncles have their own powers, perhaps this is also the reason why Your Majesty has been worried and does not want to be truthful."
Xia Jingyun nodded slowly, "Where is the main sphere of influence of these people in the Prince's Mother Clan now?" ”
"The first queen is from Sixiang Prefecture, but several of her brothers are now scattered everywhere, and the strongest of them is Xiao Fengshan, the governor of Longshou Prefecture."
After all, Xia Jingyun is an adult man, and he is not a blood relative to Concubine De, so it is not good to stay in Changle Palace for a long time, so he only spoke for a while, and then said goodbye and left in Concubine De's reluctant eyes.
The women of the deep palace, although they are extremely rich and glorious, but they are rare to be free, this is as smart as Concubine De, and there is no way to change like Xia Jingyun.
quietly returned to the Hou Mansion through the back door, and Xia Jingyun finally had time to invite out the "Taiyi Zhenren" who had been deliberately drying for a while.
is different from the detachment in the criminal department, this time, this person knelt directly in front of Xia Jingyun, and the main thing is to be well-behaved and sensible.
I can't help but be unwell-behaved, Qin Xiang's name, even if people like him have heard of it, but seeing that the invincible other party is easily falling under the hands of this son, where does he dare to have the slightest pretense.
What's more, there is another layer of hidden worries in his heart.
Xia Jingyun said calmly: "From yesterday to now, no less than three people have persuaded me to kill you. ”
The Taoist priest of You Fang lay directly on the ground, trembling all over, "Your noble man spares his life!" ”
"But Ben Gongzi is a person with clear rewards and punishments, you have behaved very well this time, how can this Gongzi treat a meritorious person like this. Get up and speak. ”
As if he had been pardoned, the Taoist priest subconsciously got up and sat down, but immediately bounced up like a fire on his buttocks, and stood aside respectfully.
Xia Jingyun didn't force it, "Do you know why I didn't kill you?" ”
Daoist You Fang shook his head, "The heart of a nobleman, the little one doesn't dare to guess." ”
"Because I want to sleep soundly."
Xia Jingyun said: "Yesterday in the hall, although we used some means, they were all to find out the real culprit. You have both merit and no fault this time, and if I kill you, I will inevitably feel guilty. ”
"The nobleman is wise."
Xia Jingyun glanced at him, "I said this to let you know how easy it is to live in peace and stability with a clear conscience." ”
You Fangdao was stunned.
Xia Jingyun continued: "I don't care what you did in the past, but you still have a choice in the future." I'll give you two ways, first, reward you with five thousand taels, leave Zhongjing, from now on what you do has nothing to do with this son and the Jiang'an Hou Mansion, whether it's evil or evil, swagger or deception, as long as you don't crash into my hands, I don't see it; Second, I will build a Taoist temple on the outskirts of the city for you, and you will live here, and the tricks taught to you by this son can also be used by you, but you must not do anything illegal and moral, and once you are found by this son, you will be killed immediately. Take your pick. ”
You Fang Daoist hesitated for a moment and gritted his teeth, "The small one chooses the second one!" Please rest assured that the small one will only look forward to the future of the child, and try his best to find out the information for the child. ”
Xia Jingyun smiled slightly, "You are really a smart person." Go find Lu Yi, and he will help arrange the rest. ”
You Fang Daoren nodded, and suddenly stopped and hesitated: "Childe, this little name?" ”
"Aren't you the Taiyi real person of the Jade Void Palace in Kunlun Mountain?"
You Fang Dao was overjoyed, "Thank you, Childe!" ”
Waiting for Daoist You Fang to leave, Xia Jingyun said to Chen Fugui: "Let Lu Yi go and thoroughly check the details of this person to see if it can be used, it is not appropriate for him to watch and deal with it himself." ”
Chen Fugui nodded in agreement.
Xia Jingyun leaned back on the chair at this time and stretched a big waist.
It's really tiring to do things, more tiring than doing hobbies.
In the past month, it has been like a non-stop, and I can finally take a break.
Halfway through his waist, he suddenly stood tall and stunned.
How similar is it between himself and this wandering Taoist, and between himself and His Majesty?
Isn't this moment just like that moment?
Life, it's really still such a game full of confrontation and exchange!
All everyone can do is to accumulate their own chips as much as possible in exchange for higher status and greater power.
Don't want to, sleep is big!
One night, a sound sleep after complete relaxation made Xia Jingyun successfully recover most of his blood.
When he got up the next morning, an invitation was delivered to him.
The old head of the Qin family held a banquet in Mingyu Tower at noon and invited him to the banquet.
I'm going to start planning the next volume of the outline.,I want to take leave to adjust.,Think about it.,Try to make sure that you don't ask for leave and keep changing.,But the amount of updates may be less these days.,But in the end, the total amount of this month will be about 200,000.。
