Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Past of the Su Family
Wei Yuan came out of the queue and said loudly: "When there is no war, military households can be self-sufficient in cultivating military fields. Once the war starts, the imperial court needs to allocate grain, grass, and military supplies, and this is even reasonable. β
Wang Shoufu narrowed his eyes and looked at Wei Yuan with a deep gaze.
When Chu Xianglong heard this, he smiled, in terms of war, this group of scholars who can only talk about it, if they say a hundred words, they are not as good as Wei Yuan to say a word.
begging for food, grass and military salaries, half of his mission to return to Beijing was completed.
Yuan Xiong, the imperial historian of Zuodu, breathed a sigh of relief, and was a little surprised that Wei Yuan would support his strategy, knowing that in this way, he would be able to avoid the storm of the imperial examination fraud case and stay out of the matter.
After thinking about it, this matter is in line with His Majesty's wishes, there are nobles and nobles to help in the battle, and there is a barbarian army to "exert pressure" outside, which belongs to the general trend, even the princes who oppose this matter can see the situation.
Unexpectedly, Wei Yuan changed his words and said, "However, before that, Weichen has something to enlighten Your Majesty. β
The crowd followed the sound and watched.
Wei Yuan's expression remained unchanged, ignoring the gaze of the princes.
Emperor Yuanjing said: "Say." β
The gong under his hand found a group of people in the suburbs of the capital fighting to the death, so he stepped forward to stop, who knew that the side with more people did not stop, but beheaded the people who were besieging and killed, and fled. β
Wei Yuan said loudly, as if the truth of the matter was what he said: "Before the deceased died, he shouted "There is a change in the north". β
Hearing Wei Yuan's words, the faces of all the dukes present, including Emperor Yuan Jing, changed.
Chu Xianglong turned his head violently, stared at Wei Yuan, and then retracted his gaze, not daring to offend, and said with a stiff neck:
"There are naturally changes in the north, and the barbarians are plundering everywhere and provoking wars......."
Wei Yuan's face was calm, "So, the barbarians slaughtered three thousand miles in the north, and General Chu prevaricated with a word of burning, killing and looting?"
This sentence shocked everyone present, and Emperor Yuan Jing got up from the big chair and stared directly at the Tsing Yi under the hall:
"Wei Yuan, you make it clear, what is the blood slaughter of three thousand miles........ Huh?!"
Chu Xianglong hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, there is absolutely nothing to do........"
"Shut up!"
Emperor Yuan Jing raised his hand to interrupt, glanced at him coldly, and turned to look at Wei Yuan: "What evidence do you have?" β
Wei Yuan reached into his arms, took out the sachet, untied the red rope, and a green smoke curled up Nana's floating, twisting and changing into a man with a blurred face and dull eyes in mid-air, and muttered:
"Three thousand miles of blood, three thousand miles of blood, please send troops to crusade against .........."
Wei Yuan continued: "This person's body has been brought by Weichen, just outside the palace gate, Your Majesty can send someone to conduct an autopsy, this person is from the Northland!"
In the imperial study, there was silence.
Emperor Yuan Jing got up slowly, his face was gloomy like water, and he said word by word: "Autopsy!"
The old eunuch lowered his head and hurried back to give orders, as if he was running away, and he didn't dare to come out.
Emperor Yuan Jing was high in the dragon chair, his expression was gloomy, and he didn't say a word. The princes below silently exchanged glances, and Chu Xianglong's face was also pale, and he glared at Wei Yuan with his residual eyes.
After waiting for a quarter of an hour, the old eunuch returned and whispered in Emperor Yuanjing's ear.
Emperor Yuan Jing was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "Watching the Heavenly Warlock enter the palace to question, I am tired, you Aiqing should also go to the side hall to rest for a while." β
He stared at Chu Xianglong and said in a deep voice, "You stay here." β
With that, he got up first and left the imperial study.
Under the leadership of the eunuchs, the princes went to the side hall to rest.
.............
Inside the side hall.
Hube Shangshu held the tea, took a sip, looked sideways at Wei Yuan, who was expressionless, and said tentatively: "Duke Wei, is this matter serious?"
The officials immediately looked at Wei Yuan, who had a serious face and gave a cold look back to the head of the household: "Lord Zhao thinks that this seat is joking?"
"Don't dare, don't dare. β
Hubu Shangshu sighed: "Three thousand miles of bloody slaughter, if this matter is serious, how many people will die in the north?
Wei Yuan did not respond to Hubu Shangshu's temptation.
Wang Shoufu squinted, his fingers tapped on the table, not knowing what he was thinking.
After the time of the two incense sticks passed, the old eunuch entered the side hall and said respectfully: "Your Majesty asks the princes to return to the imperial study." β
Next, the white-clothed warlock summoned from Si Tianjian questioned Chu Xianglong, and the answer was expected, and what Chu Xianglong said was true.
King Zhenbei defeated the barbarians in the north, but the guerrilla tactics of the northern barbarians did bring huge trouble to the king of Zhenbei and exhausted the northern border army.
The barbarian army was blocked from the border pass, and the bloody slaughter of three thousand miles naturally did not exist.
In the imperial study, the atmosphere was relaxed, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Humph!"
Chu Xianglong snorted coldly: "I don't know where Duke Wei got the news, it almost made His Majesty and the princes misunderstand the prince." The last general pondered, the prince didn't offend Duke Wei. β
Wei Yuan ignored it, stepped out, and said loudly: "This matter is very important, what this person said may be true, but it does not mean that the situation in the north is really the case." β
Chu Xianglong raised his eyebrows and was about to refute, but saw Wang Shoufu come out and echo:
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen thinks that Wei Gong's words are reasonable. The stakes are too high to be overlooked. It must be thoroughly investigated. β
Driven by Wang Shoufu and Wei Yuan, the princes responded one after another.
Emperor Yuan Jing muttered: "What do you think, how can this matter be investigated?"
Wang Shoufu said: "Your Majesty can continue to collect grain, grass, and military salaries and transport them to Chuzhou." At the same time, another team of Qincha was sent to the north to thoroughly investigate the case. β
Wei Yuan said: "The minister seconded the proposal. β
Emperor Yuan Jing nodded: "That's it." β
...........
Hsu Mansion.
Su Su held a red umbrella to block the yang, sat on the eaves, and looked at the little bean ding in the yard.
In the hall next door, Li Miao really talked to the Xu family's housewife and young lady.
When Aunt and Xu Lingyue heard that there were guests staying at home, their mood was very unbeautiful.
The former felt that if this continued, the family would become a good church. The latter felt that the woman was too beautiful and threatened him.
In addition to the woman wearing a Taoist robe, the woman in white clothes outside made Xu Lingyue feel like a thorn in her back, feeling that relying only on her appearance, she not only had no chance of winning, but was even slightly inferior.
The woman holding the red umbrella has an indescribable charm, which is particularly seductive.
However, after hearing that Li Miaozhen was Xu Qi'an's life-saving benefactor, Aunt and Xu Lingyue immediately changed their attitudes and expressed a few more heartfelt gratitude and welcomes.
"The Xu family is worthy of a family of martial artists, I see that the young lady is still young, and she is about to start laying the foundation and practicing martial arts. Li Miaozhen still understands the world very well, and in addition to chatting, she doesn't forget to tout.
The aunt was very sad when she heard this, and said helplessly: "I hope she can study for a few years, not to mention that she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, at least she must be knowledgeable, but unfortunately she is an idiot." β
Although that kid is quite naΓ―ve, how can he be an idiot? Xu Qi'an's cousin is a student of Yunlu Academy, so he doesn't teach his sister to read? Li Miaozhen thought for a moment and said:
"Miaozhen stays in Xu's mansion, and in her spare time, she can help enlighten the young lady. β
Her idea is that Xu Xinnian has a heavy academic load and has no intention of teaching her younger sister to read, while Xu Qi'an and Xu Pingzhi are martial artists, and they prefer to let Miss Xu learn martial arts.
Anyway, it is to teach the child for a period of time without delay.
The aunt was stunned for a moment, and was about to refuse, but Xu Lingyue took the first step to agree, with a subtle smile: "Thank you Daochang Li for that." β
Li Miaozhen had a very good impression of this beautiful girl with a gentle smile, and said with a smile: "It's a gesture." β
After speaking, she found that the eyes of the Xu family's housewife looked at her with a little more pity and sympathy.
.........
"Sister, sister, are you really a ghost. β
Xu Lingyin walked with a horse, her two stubby calves trembled slightly, she raised her head and looked at Su Su on the eaves.
"Yes, I'll eat people, aren't you afraid?" Su Su threatened.
"I'm afraid!" Xu Lingyin showed a frightened expression.
Su Su smiled, a little proud, she hummed a little song in her mouth, looking at the blue sky in a daze.
I don't know how long later, the two girls in the yard, one big and one young, disappeared.
"Sister, sister......."
The shouts came from below, and Su Su looked down to see the little girl standing under the eaves, her head raised, her black and white eyes staring at her.
"Can you come down?" said the little girl.
Su Su fell into the courtyard lightly, looked down at the hair on Xu Lingyue's head, and said angrily: "What are you doing." β
Xu Lingyin didn't speak, but beckoned sneakily and motioned for her to follow.
Su Su followed with doubts, and took it all the way to the room, the fireworks came to his face, Xiao Douding crossed the threshold hard, turned around and said:
"Sister, you're coming. β
In the room, the little black skin in southern Xinjiang was burning the fire, the hot oil was boiling in the pot, Xu Lingyin pulled Su Su to the side of the pot, raised his face, and said expectantly:
"Sister, can you climb in on your own. β
Su Su's face froze suddenly.
............
Xu Qi'an returned home and introduced Li Miaozhen to Second Uncle Xu, who originally thought he was a friend of his nephew, and nodded with the shelf of the elders.
He said calmly: "Where is Daochang Li practicing?" β
"She is the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Sect, one of the protagonists of the battle between heaven and man. Xu Qi'an added.
β........β
Xu Pingzhi almost got up and saluted, shouting: I have seen Your Excellency the Holy Maiden.
"She met ........ when I was in Yunzhou," Xu Qi'an explained briefly.
Xu Pingzhi nodded stunned, his heart was very uncalm, and his thoughts fluctuated.
Da Lang even knows the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Sect, his connections are getting wider and wider, and his strength is getting higher and higher, and I have just broken through to the God Refining Realm......... It's really promising.
Second Uncle Xu thought with relief, and felt that the gap between himself and his nephew was getting bigger and bigger, and a sense of loss swelled in his heart.
Take a look at his son again, after this kid participated in the palace examination, he was a court official, although the progress was not as exaggerated as Ning Yan, but he had already ascended to the sky in one step, and he was a dragon and a phoenix among people.
I am worthy of my ancestors and ancestors........ It's a pity that the eldest brother died early, and he couldn't see his son and nephew so promising.........
At this time, Xu Xinnian said in a deep voice: "Big brother, Miss Wang asked me to swim in the lake again." β
Does Miss Wang like my Erlang? Xu Qi'an's heart moved, and he became more and more sure of his guess.
During the case of fraud in the imperial examination, Miss Wang gave him a "tip-off letter", and the content was true, which was very unusual.
At this time, after contacting the two invitations to visit the lake, it can almost be concluded that Miss Wang is interested in Erlang, and she is very aggressive.
Thinking of this, Xu Qi'an smiled: "Then do you agree?" β
Xu Xinnian said "heh": "I refused on the grounds that the palace test was imminent." β
"Well done, Erlang ........" Xu Qi'an patted him on the shoulder and praised: "My generation is a model." β
Da Lang mocked Erlang in a weird way.
Misnomer, heh, uneducated big brother........ Jiro also mocked Dalang in his heart.
...........
After dinner, Xu Qi'an came to Li Miaozhen's room, and was about to knock on the door, when he heard Su Su's voice from inside:
"Master, the child of this family is very scary, she, she wants to eat me, and she also warms a pot of oil. β
"The same is true for children's words, and the same is true for actions, so you don't have to care. Li Miaozhen said casually.
"No, I can feel that she is not joking, her burning eyes ........." Su Su said a few words, and seeing Li Miaozhen's lack of interest, she snorted angrily and shouted:
"Stinky man, your sister wants to eat me. β
As soon as the words fell, the door opened automatically, and Su Su pinched his waist, puffed out his cheeks, and glared at him angrily.
Ah, this ....... I remembered, my aunt told her that the ghost fried is delicious, this stupid child not only took it seriously, but also remembered it for so long?
Therefore, this memory is more than enough to memorize English words, why can't you even memorize the three-character scripture?
Xu Qi'an complained in his heart, and diverted the topic: "Su Su, I remember you said that if I agree to your two requests, you will be a concubine for me for three years." β
When Li Miaozhen heard this, she glared at Su Su fiercely.
Speaking of the charm of a woman, the ghost, who was softer and more seductive than the master, pinched his waist and said, "Yes, you help me reshape my body, and then find out for me why my father was beheaded back then."
"Not only will I be a concubine for you for three years, but I will also give you a son. β
In fact, it doesn't matter if she is a concubine or not, Xu Qi'an promised her at the beginning, because she felt that it was a bit too bad to bully a female ghost.
Now that Li Miaozhen has come to the capital, he will not forget the original agreement.
Of course, if Su Sufei wants to repay, it's okay to be a concubine.
I must let Song Qing shape a 36D body, I don't care about myself, but no matter how hard I am, I can't be bitter about the child......... He silently said a word and looked at Li Miaozhen:
"Tell me everything you know. β
The expressions of the master and servant became serious, and Li Miaozhen said: "Su Su was born in Jiangzhou, and his father is the prefect of Jiangzhou. Yuan Jing was beheaded in 15 years, and the female relatives of the family would be charged to the Teaching Division.
"His mother had a strong personality and did not want to join the sect as a prostitute, so she poisoned all the female dependents with a cup of poisoned wine, including Su Su. But she had a younger brother who was studying outside the home and got away with it.
"On this trip to Beijing, I took Su Su to Jiangzhou to check the past. I didn't expect to find a strange thing. β
