Qin Liu asked in disbelief: "You mean, our Liu family has moved the interests of the civilian power group, and we can't tolerate it......"

Yang Shen shook his head: "I'm just guessing. Your Liu family comes from a poor family, and although you have dealings with the Jiangnan forces, you have a loose relationship, and it is very possible to be suppressed by concentrated firepower. What's more, after the new emperor ascended the throne, he was young and vigorous, and he suppressed and alienated the old ministers, and the power of the Liu family was weakened, but he took the opportunity to be taken to the nest......

Xie Qiange, who went home at the same time as Liu Gelao, did not have anything to do, and built two gardens with his son Tanhualang Xie Pi. ”

Qin Liu was dumbfounded.

Zhu Yue may also know something, but he chose not to talk about it, and only let her feel at ease to be a little widow of the Li family who worries about trivial matters.

Yang Shen, who grew up playing together, pulled her into the treacherous court battle.

Yang Shen spoke: "Ah Jiang, I have been going back and forth to the capital and found that in the past few years, there has been an endless stream of Jinyi guards searching for young women and children around the capital. I don't know if it will have something to do with you. You still have to be careful not to reveal your identity. ”

Qin Liu came back to his senses and nodded solemnly: "Now I'm just a little widow, and I'm also the owner behind this inn......"

Before Qin Liu finished speaking, a voice came from outside the room: "Young Master Yang, I haven't seen you for a long time, haven't you seen our family visit?" ”

Yang Shen's face changed greatly, and he quickly got up and let Qin Liu and the little mute avoid the inside, and also brought the chestnut cake and Qin Liu's teacup inside.

Sitting down in the inner room, Qin Liu fell into deep thought.

Is it because the original murder case was retried and the interests of some people were moved, so the men who were officials in the Liu family died together?

Liu Xuejiang, Liu Xuejiang, are you a sinner who brought disaster to your family?

Qin Liu's heart was indescribably painful.

Isn't it natural to expose unjust cases and avenge the wronged people? As Emperor Xiaozong said, "If you don't understand something, who will be willing to die?" ”

Do those who uphold justice pay a terrible price?

What kind of absurd world is this?!

Is there any heavenly reason?!

Qin Liu felt his hand being gently shaken. She turned her head to look at the little mute beside her, who looked at her worriedly and comfortingly.

Qin Liu felt a little more comfortable: no matter what, he still has a group of trustworthy friends around him to support each other, and there is nothing to be afraid of.

The sound of conversation outside slowly reached my ears.

Yang Shen said: "Father-in-law Zhang, I haven't seen you for a long time, your noble people are busy, why did you come to this wild place outside the pass?" ”

A slightly sharp middle-aged man's voice said, "Young Master Yang, you and the emperor have had a deep friendship when they were in the East Palace, why don't you communicate now?" The emperor still talks about you from time to time. ”

Yang Shen said: "Gonggong Zhang said that he laughed, he used to cultivate a useless literati, and he tried to fall last year, where did he dare to be friends with the Son of Heaven?" ”

Father-in-law Zhang waved his hand: "The clumsy method of burning the test paper is only done by Liu Jin and Jiao Fang's bad-hearted traitors!"

With Yang Gongzi's literary talent, the top student in high school is not a problem.

We heard that last year's examination Liu Jin forcibly stuffed the list of marking officers, and all the more than 50 people who were attached to Liu Jin's party were in high school. ”

Yang Shen raised his eyebrows in surprise, shook his head and sneered: "With the 'Standing Emperor' in the court, where will I Yang Shen come out?" ”

Father-in-law Zhang sighed and said: "The world has been suffering Liu Jin for a long time. Our family had a fight with Liu Jin in front of the palace back then, although they did not lose their sacred heart, they were more and more intolerable by Liu Jin.

Yang Gongzi, your father is now back in the cabinet, you and I had some friendship back then, and it can be regarded as the same spirit, and I also asked Yang Gongzi to take precautions and win some vitality for us! ”

Yang Shen clasped his fists and saluted, and his tone was sonorous: "My father said a long time ago that if it weren't for Gonggong Zhang mentioning him in front of the emperor, he would still be in Nanjing for an idle job!"

Not only is he an old man, but Yang Shen has also been helped by Father-in-law Zhang many times when he was young, and this kindness will be remembered and must not be forgotten. ”

Father-in-law Zhang nodded: "Does Yang Gongzi still remember the old story of borrowing ginseng back then?" ”

Yang Shen smiled: "Naturally remember, this matter is due to Father-in-law Zhang's affairs......

Before Yang Shen finished speaking, Gonggong Zhang said: "The emperor has always remembered this, saying that only Miss A Jiang can do it with rare century-old ginseng to save the life of Tartar......"

Yang Shen's face changed, his eyes became dark, and he didn't say anything more, he didn't allow Gonggong Zhang's intentions.

Gonggong Zhang's eyes flashed, and he said tentatively: "Young Master Yang, do you know that it has been three years since the emperor's wedding, and there is no heir under his knees, what is the reason?" ”

The corners of Yang Shen's lips hooked slightly: "The secret affairs of the palace guard, how can you know about the next useless scholar?" ”

Gonggong Zhang lowered his voice: "Our family heard that the Queen Xia and several concubines are still virgins......

Yang Shen was shocked and looked at Gonggong Zhang in disbelief: "You mean, you mean, the emperor can't do it?" ”

Gonggong Zhang waved his hand and denied: "The emperor is only eighteen years old now, and he is young and energetic, practicing martial arts and fighting beasts in the leopard room every day to vent his energy, how can it not be?"

I heard that the emperor once said, 'I wish to win the hearts of one person, and the white heads will not be separated'......"

Yang Shen was stunned, and his expression was correct: "There are constantly rumors in the market that the emperor broke into the people's homes at night and forced a woman to accompany him, isn't Grandpa Zhang joking?" ”

Father-in-law Zhang's face sank: "That's just a rumor that slanders the emperor and our ministers."

The emperor's knot is unresolved, and the search for people has not been successful, and he has scolded Liu Jin many times. Yiren has passed away, but Yang Gongzi and Yiren are childhood sweethearts, and there is always some old friendship or old objects.

If you can use this to plan, you may have a chance to bring down Liu Jin. Yang Gongzi doesn't want to be unable to get into the Jinshi for the rest of his life, right? ”

Yang Shen's face was shocked and serious, and he was silent.

Father-in-law Zhang didn't urge him, and poured himself tea.

After a cup of tea, Yang Shen hadn't spoken, but there was a commotion outside the house: "Yang Juzi, what kind of big score?" But what is there to be afraid of? ”

Yang Shen frowned, looked at Father-in-law Zhang on the side, Father-in-law Zhang bowed slightly after groaning, and Yang Shen raised his voice: "Come in!" ”

The door opened, and a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old in a brocade robe entered, followed by several healthy servants, whose faces were a little immature but arrogant.

The young man's gaze swept over Gonggong Zhang and Yang Shen, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "The eldest son of the imperial eunuch Zhang Yong and Yang Ge Lao are planning to meet secretly outside this pass?" Think Liu Jin will be very interested? ”

Yang Shen scolded angrily: "Zhang Zong said, you don't spew blood!" What can I do when I'm a down-and-out kid traveling abroad? ”

Gonggong Zhang said on the ground: "Why did the Hou Shizi of Shouning come to this border town outside the pass? ”

The young man named Zhang Zong laughed a few times and said, "Old Zhang is refreshing, I don't hide it." Half of the tea from the horse exchange this time is from our Zhang family, and this matter will not be mentioned! ”
