Chapter 189: Violent death
When Xie Laosan's letter was delivered, the people had already ridden fast horses to chase along the way.
Fortunately, the boat traveled less than a hundred miles, and was caught up by Xie Laosan, and he got on the boat, and without saying a word, he gave each of these two nieces a slap!
It's so troublesome!
Xie Laosan is a rough man, although he does not have the bad habit of beating women and children on weekdays, but at this time he is so angry that he is dizzy, and he can't wait to cut these two nieces immediately, just slap them twice, which is already cheap.
Fortunately, Xie Laosan moved quickly, took the two sisters off the boat directly, and then rented a carriage and walked back all the way.
This kind of thing, if it makes a big fuss, it will lose the face of the Xie family, will the girls of the Xie family still get married?
The moment Xie Ronglan saw the third uncle appear, she realized that something was wrong, but she didn't expect that she would be knocked unconscious with a slap, and when she woke up again, she had already been tied hand and foot and thrown in the carriage.
Xie Laosan tossed back and forth for three days, and then brought the person back, and hurriedly wrote a trustee to send it to the capital.
It's just that this kind of thing is hard to come by.
They are not wealthy people, but they don't have a special servant to deliver letters.
Because of this, the letter was sent a few days late, and at that time, Xie Ming had already begun to dispose of Xie Chen.
After all, it is a child who has been passed on to the Xie family, and Xie Chen is now a father, Xie Ming can't do anything to send people back, so he simply calls it sick, and after inviting more than ten doctors for a few days, he only says that Xie Chen is seriously ill, and he is afraid that he will die soon.
Although Xie Ming has not been up and down in officialdom now, he has seen a lot of people and things.
This Xie Chen's character is bad, but fortunately, he has left Zi Yu down, so that no one will send him to the end after the third day.
On the day Xie Xiuwen received Xie Laosan's letter, the news of Xie Chen's death was also reported.
Xie Xiuwen was shocked by Xie Ming's methods.
Can you give up this grandson?
After thinking about it, it is not his own grandson anyway, and Xie Chen already has a son, Xie Ming is afraid that he has the heart to cultivate the next generation, so he does not take Xie Chen to heart.
If Xie Chen is a high school jinshi this time, Xie Ming is afraid that he will be reluctant.
It's just a pity that Xie Chen didn't even pass the exam, and he never took a serious scientific examination, and the number of supervisors was also obtained for money, so in Xie Ming's eyes, I'm afraid it doesn't have much value.
Xie Sanye still has a very good understanding of this stepson, he and his wife think that they are very concerned about their stepson, whether it is food, clothing, housing, transportation, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, they are all concerned, they never expected that they would raise such a scourge.
The couple already knew how much evil Xie Chen had done over the years, and the despicable methods against a scholar were simply ruining people's future, and this was to be punished!
Fortunately, Xie Xiuwen's family found out in time and took action early, otherwise, the matter would have gotten out of control.
Xie Chen died of illness and did not send news to Gaoyang County, anyway, it had already entered their genealogy, and there was no need to contact Xie Liujin and the others.
Xie Xiuwen saw that Xie Ming was happy, so he naturally had to accept this love.
The next day, Xie Xiuwen was summoned by Emperor Jingwen and ordered him to give a lecture, so he mentioned Xie Yu by the way.
Xie Yu is Xie Lin's father, Xie Ming's second son, and now he is an official abroad, his official position is not high, and he is a five-grade official.
It's also a coincidence, it just so happens that Emperor Jingwen is worried about the position of Shaoqing of Honglu Temple.
Now there are naturally not a few people in Jingzhong who want this position, and under the game of several parties, it makes it difficult for Emperor Jingwen.
One side is the family Gaomen, one side is the Qing School, and the other side is the imperial family, which made him hesitate for a while.
The official position of the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple is not high, from the fourth grade, but this errand is leisurely, but also has a certain authority, and the most important thing is to be qualified to face the saint directly.
In this way, it will lead to many sides to compete.
When Emperor Jingwen stopped, he subconsciously told him about it, and he just wanted to hear what good ideas this new leader had for him.
"Back to the saint, Honglu Temple, in charge of foreign guests, the affairs of the court, one of the nine temples, is also the place where the imperial court is in charge of ethnic affairs and foreign affairs reception activities and funeral ceremonies, the decree is based on the Ministry of Rites of Shangshu Province, if the Holy Lord wants to choose a candidate for the post of Shaoqing, it is the most suitable to select from the Ministry of Rites."
Emperor Jingwen nodded: "How can I not know that the most suitable person to be selected in the Ministry of Self-Etiquette?" It's just that now I've turned it over, and there is no one available. ”
Xie Xiuwen didn't dare to be reckless, he raised his eyebrows carefully, and saw that the saint was not displeased, so he said: "Back to the saint, Weichen heard that Xie Tanhua's father, Xie Yu, had served in the Ministry of Rites before, and was exiled as an official a few years ago. Weichen is not very familiar with the adults in Beijing, but he got closer to Xie Tanhua, and heard that his father was a famous disciple and had quite an opinion on the matter of etiquette, and this Lord Xie also went to the frontier and was familiar with folk customs. ”
No matter how much he said, Xie Xiuwen didn't dare to say it.
Emperor Jing Wen thought about it, yes, this person is the right person!
This time, I want to mention a young secretary of Honglu Temple, mainly to prepare for the various affairs of the envoys of the various vassal states this winter.
Emperor Jingwen didn't listen to what Xie Xiuwen said before, but this last sentence was heartfelt.
"Well, I did remember that this Xie Yu does have a good understanding of local folk affairs. And he's also proficient in Korean, haha, Xie Aiqing, you really helped me solve a big problem. ”
Xie Xiuwen hurriedly bent over: "Weichen doesn't dare, it is within the responsibility of Weichen to share his worries for the saint." ”
Emperor Jingwen was happy, and chatted with him about some inconsequential things before letting him go.
Before leaving, Emperor Jingwen simply asked him to help draft the decree again.
The draft intention was originally something that the officials of the Hanlin Academy often did, and it was not the first time Xie Xiuwen had written it, but he was not so nervous, but when he thought that this will was promoted by himself, he inevitably felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.
When Xie Xiuwen left, the saint also rewarded him with a basket of oranges.
This is the first time Xie Xiuwen has received a reward from the emperor since he took office, although it is not very valuable, but this is also a special honor.
Xie Xiuwen returned to the duty room with a basket of oranges, smiled, and sent Douzi to invite Xie Lin over.
"The Saint of Fit Talent ordered me to draft a will, and transferred Master Xie back to Beijing to serve as the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, and it is estimated that now that the will has been sent, Jing Xing will be able to reunite with his father in a few days, which is gratifying."
Xie Lin was stunned, he didn't expect Xie Xiuwen to come over to him like this.
With a little brain, I understood that he must play an indispensable role.
"Thank you Zicheng brother, if there is anything you need your younger brother to serve in the future, please speak up."
"It doesn't have to be that between you and me. Besides, Lord Xie is also just right for this position, if it is another place, I don't dare to mention it to the saint. ”
Xie Lin's heart moved, so he was even more sure that his father could return to Beijing and be promoted, thanks to Xie Xiuwen's help, he couldn't help but be a little more moved.
