The righteousness of the rivers and lakes, the sword of the youth (1)

When the decree that was announced to the world was issued after the dawn.

The contents of the decree reached the ears of officials at all levels, and it took a full night.

This is not because the little eunuchs of the Holy Dynasty are slow to do things, but because this holy decree was sent to the mansion of the three old men since it was written.

When Chen Boju saw the holy decree, his hands shook in shock, and he almost fell to the ground.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this holy decree is reasonable, but in his opinion, this holy decree represents the Holy Emperor's determination to change the political situation of the imperial court, and it also fully demonstrates the Holy Emperor's commitment to the Confucius Temple.

From Chai Xintong's detention to now, more than ten days have passed, no one has ever taken the initiative to interrogate Chai Xintong, and Luo Shaohua, the secretary of Dali Temple, has been forced to "work outside", they all understand that if this matter is not handled well, it is a game between the master and the Holy Emperor, for them, neither party can afford to be guilty, if they are involved in this whirlpool, they are afraid that they will die unclear when the time comes.

Chen Boju glanced at the holy decree roughly, and called the Holy Emperor impulsive, he couldn't wait to put on his clothes now, kick open the door of Yong'an Palace, and admonish him with death, so that the Holy Emperor could take back his fate.

He is not partial to the Confucius Temple, although the Confucius Temple and the three old men above the court were all invited by the king with a different surname surnamed Xu, but the three of them knew very well in their hearts and knew what they should do.

The three of them will not take sides because of that Xu Wangye, they only want the world to be healthy.

In today's world, prosperity is beginning to appear, if you tear your face with Confucius Temple at this time, you are afraid that the people will not be able to make a living. Therefore, he had to persuade the Holy Emperor, and he had to go.

The three of them have an average of one Jiazi, and among ordinary people, they can be regarded as long-lived people, and Chen Boju is now even more rare in his seventies.

His name is Boju, when he was young, his family wanted him to be "Dragon Pony and Phoenix Chick", he really lived up to this name, and when he was young, he was also a beautiful young man with eight buckets of talent. Boju, Boju, this "dragon foal and phoenix chick" only occupies one "foal"; and this "Bo" hopes that he will "act better than Boyi", hope that he will be virtuous and virtuous.

Now that he is in his prime, the dragon foal and phoenix chick are long gone, but he can afford to do this line of words Biboyi.

He sat in this position, carefully guarding the world, guarding the people, and balancing the Confucius Temple and the Holy Emperor.

Without the Confucius Temple, the literati in the world are only afraid that they will be less than ninety percent, and the Holy Emperor is the representative of the power of the Holy Dynasty.

Troubled times need bear generals, and prosperous times rely on Wenchen.

They have always understood this truth, so they have always hoped that the Confucius Temple and the Holy Emperor can live in harmony.

But now, this holy decree is like a signal arrow, as long as he, Guo Jinghui and An Shixiang stamp the big seal, even if this signal arrow is shot, the war drums will be beaten.

He sighed, the moonlight was bright, but his heart was numb, and his feet were slightly cold, and he remembered that he was barefoot at this time, only wearing a thin dress.

He got dressed, and the butler hurried in.

"Master, Shang Shu ordered Guo Jinghui and Shizhong Ling An Shixiang to visit. ”

Chen Boju was overjoyed, and he happened to want to visit the two of them one by one, but he didn't expect the two adults to visit directly, which saved a lot of trouble.

"Come in, please come in and make a pot of tea. The butler had to give the order before he stepped out of the threshold, and a voice was heard.

"Brother Boju, don't be invited, the two of us are uninvited. ”

As he spoke, Chen Boju saw the two old men in the moonlight, although they were both wearing shoes, they were all disheveled, especially Guo Jinghui, whose clothes looked a little awkward.

When the three old men met, they looked at each other's somewhat embarrassed appearances, first smiled, and then saluted each other, and they all felt that the holy pilgrimage was promising and the prosperous era was coming.

Chen Boju saw that the two old friends were the same, so he just put on his clothes, and the three of them sat down around the table.

He saw that Guo Jinghui's clothes were a little small, which made him a little uncomfortable, so he looked at An Shixiang.

Guo Jinghui is tall, and this dress is more like An Shixiang's.

At this time, the three old men met and breathed a sigh of relief.

An Shixiang seemed to see Chen Boju's doubts, and smiled: "Brother Jinghui, when I came there, I didn't wear any clothes, and I didn't tie my underwear, if I was young, I could use my strong body to attract those girls on the side of the road, but now I'm old!" An Shixiang laughed at Guo Jinghui, and the three of them relaxed a lot.

The housekeeper sent fragrant tea, and Chen Boju asked the housekeeper to go out and close the door, and then poured tea for the two old friends.

At the same time, he looked at An Shixiang and asked, "Brother Shixiang, as the commander of the Servant and the close minister with the greatest authority of the Holy Emperor, does he know what His Majesty wants to do?"

An Shixiang smiled bitterly and said: "Don't be sarcastic about me, the three of us said that they were checking and balancing each other, but this Your Majesty, directly exclude the three of us." I was better before, able to understand some of the holy will, and able to communicate with the two of you. A year ago, when the Holy Emperor wanted to make a big move to find some Nine Dragon Talismans, I fought hard and quarreled with His Majesty in the Qianlong Palace. Fortunately, Master Fu at that time came up with a compromise method, he took a few attendants to Shushan to take a look at the Jianghu sect and try his best to get it back. ”

Chen Boju and Guo Jinghui sighed at the same time.

The Taishi later resigned and went into hiding, speaking of which, this Fu Taishi is also a person who really wants to help the world and the people, it's a pity!

"Since then, nothing has called me, and I can only stay honestly. An Shixiang smiled bitterly.

"Forget it, forget it, let's discuss the current matter!"

Guo Jinghui didn't say anything, touched it from his arms, took out a brocade box, and put it on the table.

Chen Boju was a little surprised, and then looked at An Shixiang, An Shixiang shook his head solemnly and said, "Don't look at me, my reaction is the same as yours, so I didn't bring the big seal over." If so......"

He paused, pursed his lips and said, "Of course, if both of you agree, I will immediately go home and get the Great Seal." ”

"If the Holy Emperor wants to announce to the world, it must be effectively used by the big seals of our three provinces plus the jade seal, and now that the opinions of the Holy Emperor and Brother Jinghui have come out, it's up to the two of us, what you say, I will do." ”

An Shixiang's voice changed and threw the problem to Chen Boju.

Chen Boju looked at the brocade box on the table with a complicated face, which contained the big seal of Shang Shuling, and he didn't understand why Guo Jinghui would make this decision.

He looked at Zhongshu Ling Guo Jinghui, and the three old men couldn't see how much impact this incident had, and Chen Boju didn't believe it when they killed him.

"Brother Jinghui, tell me your reason!"

Looking at Chen Boju's appearance, the three of them each took out a summons, and the content on it was exactly the same.

Generally speaking, the Holy Emperor issued a summons, and as long as the three pillars pressed the Great Seal, they had three holy decrees, one for the hundred officials, one for retention, and the other for the world.

Now these three holy decrees are on the bodies of the three old men, as long as they press the big seal, and catch up with tomorrow morning, the news of the beheading of the firewood will be spread.

Guo Jinghui looked at the holy decree on the table, read it in a low voice, and then pointed to the four words and glanced at the two of them.

The candlelight flickered and was somewhat dim.

The two old men stood up and leaned on the table, their faces almost pasted, and when they saw those four words, their faces were still full of doubts.

"The sin of deceit. ”

"What's wrong with that?" Chen Boju asked.

"This is a big problem!" Guo Jinghui stroked his beard and smiled mysteriously.

An Shixiang also looked at him with a confused expression.

"Don't sell it, Brother Jinghui, said. ”

Guo Jinghui looked at the two of them with a solemn expression.

"Do you think that this great prince and Fan Jiuxian are in love?"

An Shixiang was a little impatient: "We're talking about Chai Xintong, why is the eldest prince in the car again?"

Chen Boju patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, listen to Brother Jinghui." ”

"This Xu Changan should have also found two of them, for the sake of Chai Xintong. ”

Chen Boju and An Shixiang both nodded, Xu Changan naturally looked for them, and they also refused, they would save Chai Xintong's life, but it was for the sake of Confucius Temple and the Holy Emperor, and it had nothing to do with him Xu Changan, so they naturally would not agree to any request from Xu Changan.

"Then did Xu Changan tell you about Chai Xintong and Fan Jiuxian?"

The two shook their heads.

All this was already expected by Guo Jinghui, if Xu Changan told them about it, they would not fail to see the problem.

"This Fan Jiuxian and the eldest prince are in love. ”

When the two of them heard this, their faces changed, and they lowered their heads, not knowing what they were thinking.

"I understand, why did this Chai Xintong find a way to get to the altar, this big prince and Fan Yuzhi seem to have formed a group. ”

"Not seemingly, yes. Guo Jinghui took over.

"Fan Jiuxian was forced, and Chai Xintong was framed, these are all facts, but we have no evidence. It's just that the person who framed Chai Xintong is unknown, and we can suspect the eldest prince, but there is no evidence. In the same way, the same is true of the Holy Emperor. ”

And this person's purpose is very clear, which is to provoke a struggle between the Confucius Temple and the Holy Emperor. Let me tell you one more thing, I heard that Chai Xintong and Xiaofuzi are of the same generation. ”

The two of them only learned about the news now, and they pondered it carefully and frowned.

"Then this Chai Xintong is much more weighty than He Chen, we have been staring at He Chen before, and all kinds of mediation to protect him are thorough, no one dares to make a move in Xu Chang'an's Zhongyi Hou Mansion, but I didn't expect that someone with a heart found a loophole. ”

An Shixiang sighed and said with some shame: "I didn't expect it, these people are really powerful." ”

Then he said leisurely: "It's not okay to be old if you don't accept it, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves." ”

Chen Boju was also a little ashamed, he looked at the four people who were "guilty of bullying the king" and thought about it and said: "I understand what the Holy Emperor means, and he also suspects that it is the eldest prince." One is to force Fan Jiuxian to make a fuss, and the other is to paralyze the eldest prince and take a look at the reaction of the eldest prince. ”

Chen Boju sighed and said, "It seems that Brother Jinghui is still powerful, and I have to go and get the big seal." ”

An Shixiang is still confused.

"But what does this have to do with chopping firewood and salary?"

Guo Jinghui smiled, then shook his head and said, "Boju, you can explain to him!"

Chen Boju pointed to the four words "the crime of bullying the king" and asked, "Take a closer look at these four words." ”

"The crime of bullying the king, no problem!"

Chen Boju sighed and said, "Where is Chai Xintong's 'bullying'?"

Looking at the confused An Shixiang, he could only say: "This Chai Xintong dropped a dagger in front of the public, which can cure a capital crime of 'killing the king', but now it is just a crime of bullying the king, and the place where he 'bullying the king' is in his identity, the little gentleman of the Confucius Temple pretended to be a subordinate official of Qin Tianjian, which is the crime of bullying the king!"

"But this crime is not without room for maneuver, as long as Old Man Yuan Tian really accepts him, this crime of bullying the king will no longer exist. ”

"The Holy Emperor did this in order to force Fan Jiuxian to make a fuss, and then bring out the Great Prince. As long as the eldest prince jumps out, this firewood will be fine. ”

After listening to this, An Shixiang looked at the candle flame, and finally sighed leisurely and said, "Okay, I'll go back and get the big seal too." ”

When An Shixiang left, Chen Boju looked at Guo Jinghui and sighed slowly: "But have you thought about the risks of this matter?"

"If Fan Jiuxian didn't receive the news, or someone saw through this situation, then Chai Xintong would have to die, if the eldest prince jumped out, all this is easy to explain, but if not, this crime of bullying the king is not so easy to explain. ”

Guo Jinghui also said faintly: "But what can be done, the eldest prince was fine in the south before, but now that the south is calm and has returned to Chang'an, it is strange that the court is not chaotic." ”

"And...... I also want to see if it's a human or a ghost doing so many things behind the scenes. ”

Chen Boju lowered his head, thought for a while, and then said: "In that case, you arrange for someone to inform Fan Jiuxian, Fan Jiuxian is in the palace, and it is possible that he will not receive the news, and I, find a way to communicate with the King of Jin and the little master, so as not to let them react excessively." ”

"However, if the person behind it is not the Great Prince or he has been hiding, then the Confucius Temple and the Holy Emperor will ......"

Guo Jinghui looked into his eyes.

"I can only gamble!"

......

Six days before the big wedding.

A piece of news hit Xu Changan like a thunderbolt from the blue.

He looked at the seal on the summoning in front of the gate of the imperial city with a complicated face, and the four big seals were dangling in front of his eyes.

He could understand the Great Seal of the Holy Emperor, but what he couldn't understand was the three Great Seals of Shangshu Ling, Zhongshu Ling, and Shizhong Ling.

He had looked for the three old men, and he also told Mr. Shang Shuling Guo about Chai Xintong and Fan Jiuxian, but he didn't understand why the three old men ordered to put pressure on the eldest prince to check on the eldest prince, but instead wanted to behead Chai Xintong.

He lowered his head, squeezed through the crowd, and returned to the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion.

Xu Changan immediately took out a piece of paper, wrote a few letters, and walked to the hall.

He found Kong Dewei, who was also in a hurry, and they also learned the news of the beheading of Firewood and Xintong six days later.

"Lend me Mr. Hong to use it. Xu Changan said without any emotional fluctuations.

Although Kong Dewei didn't know what Xu Changan was going to do, he had an intuition that what Xu Changan did must be related to Chai Xintong.

"Elder Hong is my elder, I have no right to instruct, you go directly to him, I also hope he can help you. ”

Hong Lao leaned against the peach tree and drank, drunk, and the green peach had a little red.

Before Xu Changan walked in front of him, Hong Lao took the lead in speaking: "Do you want to go to Shushan?"

Xu Changan nodded.

Hong Lao took a big sip of the wine in the gourd, and nodded: "Get me a few jars of wine, and I'll go." ”

Xu Changan bowed to him and said, "Elder Xie Hong, I don't dare to go here, I want to ask Elder Hong to help me take Shen Lang to the tree." ”

Hong Lao readily agreed.

"No problem, that kid's qualifications are good, although they are much worse than that Yuan Xingchen. ”

Shen Lang looked at Hong Lao's sword that rose in the wind, reluctantly looked at Xu Changan, and finally walked over, hugged Xu Changan, and then jumped on the long sword, he didn't know how long it would take to see this "cheap brother-in-law".

The long sword stopped in the air, and Hong Lao's slightly red face suddenly turned.

"Boy, do you know what I admire most about you?"

Xu Changan shook his head.

"Lao Tzu likes you to be a big official the most, but you can't change the spirit of the rivers and lakes, people like you will only belong to the rivers and lakes!"

After saying that, he turned into a long light and disappeared into the sky.

After Xu Changan did this, he also sent someone to send the remaining letters, and at this time, King Jin asked him to go to Zhugu to find the little master.

......
