Chapter 326: Signal?
The people of Quanzhou have been talking too much recently, and the focus of gossip is basically focused on the Jianhou Mansion and on the immortal prince.
On the first day of the return of the prince, he committed madness at the door of his home, frightened his mother and his father, and shocked the princes and nobles present to hide their faces and leave, without waiting for the people of Quanzhou to digest this information, only the second day, another explosive news quietly flowed out, spreading throughout the city with the momentum of a prairie fire, and then spread to all directions along various channels.
According to reliable sources, the prince collided with his parents on the day he returned home, and was punished by Jianhou for kneeling in his ancestral hall, and somehow made a big fuss in the inner house that night, almost beating the two old servants to death, but fortunately, Jianhou and his wife arrived in time, so no one died.
The first reaction of the people of Quanzhou was not to believe this news.
The world knows how much the sword marquis hurts this son, that is really in his hand for fear of falling and holding it in his mouth for fear of melting, everything is responsive, even if it is the moon in the sky, not to mention the punishment of kneeling, even if he is punished for not eating, he has never heard of it, the degree of doting can be called the first in Tianyuan, he will be willing to punish his son for kneeling in the ancestral hall?
I'm afraid that the prince has taken a fancy to the courtyard of the ancestral hall and moved, right?
As for beating and scolding people, that's even more impossible.
Who in Quanzhou City doesn't know that the prince of the world is still quite kind-hearted, he rarely beats and scolds his subordinates, and he mostly plays tricks on the children of other families in the Fengyue field, and the servants of the Hou Mansion mention the third young master of his own family, who doesn't boast a good word, he will beat and scold the old servants in the middle of the night and take their lives?
It's impossible to think about it, unless there's a special reason!
The reason was quickly found, either the subordinate made a mistake and angered the son, or the son of the world was insane and suffered an unjustified disaster.
The gossip people immediately divided into two factions, one faction strongly supported the prince to think that the servants made mistakes, and it was a big mistake, such as the two cases of embezzlement of land and property in the name of the fake Hou Mansion found out a few years ago, the parties were sent to the government together with the confession after the trial by the Hou Ye himself, according to the people present, several parties led by the two stewards were handed over to the yamen when there was no one left, the chief judge had no choice but to ask the doctor to hang their lives with medicine, and finally went through the procedure before killing the exile who should be exiled, and the bitter masters were wronged and got a large amount of compensation from the Hou Ye, and they were grateful to kneel at the door of the Hou Mansion and shouted Qingtian, and the Sword Hou Mansion preserved the reputation of the limelight for a while, the people of Quanzhou praised each other.
There is a precedent in the past, and he has a special affection for the Hou Mansion and the Hou Ye, so there are many people who support the faction, and those who love the house and Wu firmly believe that the son of the world is at a loss.
The opposition people don't think so, they admit that the son of the world is indeed good-hearted, but that was before, and now the son of the world is crazy, can the madman do what can be inferred by common sense?
He is likely to be insane, his heart is full of tyranny and simply wants to vent, the two old servants happened to be the object of venting, and some people also gave corroboration, claiming that someone saw the back door of the Hou Mansion transported out of the sack suspected of containing the corpse, tightly wrapped, there were many black-brown patches on it, suspected of oozing blood, escorted by more than a dozen guards and transported out of the West City Gate, which was the direction of the largest mass grave near Quanzhou City.
If it weren't for the madness of the son of the world and the murder of his hand, how could Hou Ye act so secretly?
With the style of the Hou Ye, he must handle it impartially, at most, like that case, he will first finish the trial and then send it to the official, he is the most principled and law-abiding nobleman in Changping County, and he will never cover up the facts and disregard people's lives like other wealthy families.
It must be the fault of the prince, only he can make the Hou Ye violate the principles!
For a while, the two factions argued endlessly, but unfortunately there was no more and more conclusive evidence, most of them were speculations, and no one could convince anyone.
The people are arguing, the officials are also discussing, the difference is that they don't care whether the son killed or not, why they killed, what they care about is the signal and impact of this incident.
For more than ten years, Feng Zhiping has always been a contradiction, and his evaluation has always been extreme, and everyone's impression of him is that he is a wasteful, unscrupulous, and uncultivated amorous person, but the local people also admit that he is a good-hearted person, much better than other gentlemen.
Is that really the case with the implementation?
A marquis, is it really so good, so approachable, that even the subordinates who have made mistakes rarely beat and scold?
Where did all this news come from?
Of course, it's the Hou Mansion, it's the rumors that the Sword Marquis deliberately spread!
The son's heavenly cripple cannot be changed, and if he wants to sit firmly in the position of the son, he can only start from other aspects, and controlling public opinion is the most powerful means.
It's a pity that Feng Zhiping doesn't like to read, and followed Lao Tzu's romance, and at a young age, he fell into the flower name of "Little White Dragon among Flowers", Jianhou had no choice but to start with his temperament, and took himself as an example to shape his son's profligacy into a romantic and unruly manner, and used trivial things like "don't beat people" to shape his son's impression of "pure nature", all favorable remarks were praised and promoted, unfavorable remarks were selected to be inconsequential and buried, which created the tragic image of Jianhou Shizi full of contradictions.
This is the usual means used by those in power, whether it is the court or the rivers and lakes, what the world sees is always only what the superior wants you to see, and a few clear-eyed people who don't know what it means to be "rare and confused" can only close those "bright eyes" forever for various reasons, and "be" confused to end this life.
But now, the private affairs in the Hou Mansion have exploded, and it is a murder case that seriously affects Feng Zhiping's image, what does this mean?
It shows that the inner mansion of the Hou Mansion is no longer peaceful, and someone is trying to shake the throne of Feng Zhiping's prince, this person may be a person who covets the position of the prince, or it may be the Sword Marquis himself, whether the former or the latter have one thing in common - they have the tacit approval of the Sword Marquis.
Without the acquiescence of the Sword Marquis, how could this matter have been spread and spread so quickly?
In the blink of an eye, it has been ten days, and in the ten days, no one in the Hou Mansion has dealt with this matter, either openly or secretly, and let the remarks ferment.
At first glance, this attitude seems to be a clear person's self-purification, disdain to justify, think about it carefully, otherwise, this may not be a signal, a signal that the world has changed!
After so many years, Jianhou finally couldn't hold on, and he had the idea of changing people!
Also, no matter how much he loves Feng Zhiping, it is impossible for him to hand over the huge Feng family and the Feng family army that he has established single-handedly into the hands of a madman.
Even if he is crazy and wants to continue to insist, the emperor will not allow it, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will not allow it, so it is not a question of what he thinks, but he must do it, otherwise the Feng family will definitely decline, and the Feng family army will also change hands.
After analyzing the thoughts, everyone began to continue to analyze the impact of this matter.
Changing the son of the world is a big deal, not an ordinary family can be finished with a sentence or two of dividing the family property, Feng Zhiping has two elder brothers, one is quite praised as an official in the court, and the other is known as a martial arts wizard who has the potential to surpass his father, and the Hou Mansion has its own advantages and disadvantages in the hands of these two people, and it must be carefully weighed so as not to bet on the wrong treasure.
For example, the king of the county is you Wanxiang, he is more inclined to the boss Feng Zhili, that is a person who does not leak, compared to Feng Zhiyou, who concentrates on martial arts, has a strong and arrogant temperament, and is a little unsophisticated, he believes that he does not need to say much after being demoted in the future, Feng Zhili will definitely take the initiative to help and make a proper arrangement for his children and grandchildren.
And the county guard Li Tai is more inclined to Feng Zhiyou, not that he has any grudge or disgust against Feng Zhili, he just thinks that in addition to inheriting the family business, the heir of the Hou Mansion should also inherit Feng Moxiu's thoughts and style, and be a pure minister who is only loyal to His Majesty, and does not participate in party disputes and other miscellaneous drill camp competitions.
Feng Zhili is very good, but he is too good, good enough to be called sleek and sophisticated, and he has been an official for many years and has not been able to find a few real political enemies, which is diametrically opposed to his father, and he is too close to the prince, which is what Li Tai is most worried about.
Although the crown prince You Jingxuan is the heir to the throne, he is not the emperor after all, and he is not the only prince, among which the fourth prince You Jingen is the most qualified and capable person to compete with him for the throne.
There was a rumor in the palace, saying that Emperor Tianyuan You Wanli finally got out of the grief of the early death of the former prince You Jingcheng, and decided to set up the East Palace again.
It's just that You Jingen sealed the prince but did not give him a fief, and still stayed in the capital, leading the highest standard of food in the prince, and assisting the government as usual, it seems that except for his identity, there is no change from the past.
Clear-eyed people know what the emperor wants to do, after all, a prince died, and there is still some hesitation in his heart, so he left the two favorite candidates by his side, so as not to be unpredictable, Prince Feng is just to appease the hearts of the four princes, and not to give a fief is the heart of Prince An, to prevent the tragedy of the brothers' wall.
It's a pity that You Wanli didn't prevent the heavens and the earth, the prince was fine, and the six princes You Jinglian, who was also the queen, were assassinated by Huangquan, a large amount of evidence pointed the finger at King Rui, the emperor was angry, the government and the opposition were shaken, You Jingen had a mouth that was difficult to distinguish and broke the cauldron and sunk the boat, and took off the hairpin and took off the crown and retired the royal robe in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military in the court, and invited himself to Tianyuan Hall to prove his innocence.
Tianyuan Hall is a place to worship Tianyuan Sword, and the descendants of the royal family, regardless of gender, will come here to worship after birth, because Tianyuan Sword only recognizes the bloodline of the You clan, and all the descendants of the You clan will have some visions after touching, and according to the different visions, you can distinguish whether the bloodline of the person who touches it is pure and the level of martial arts potential. chamberlain
The purer the bloodline and the better the qualifications, the more likely it is to be recognized by it, and those who have no blood and no strength will not be favored by it at all. In recent generations, the Tianyuan Emperors are like this, their bloodline is naturally fine, but it is a pity that the qualifications are generally too poor, and the worst one has not even cultivated to the innate, and the Tianyuan Sword only recognizes their emperor status, and does not recognize them as their own masters at all.
Among the descendants of the royal family, there are three situations that cannot stimulate the vision of the Tianyuan Sword, one is the heir whose blood is too thin, and this situation will be crowned as a low-level virtual lord to exclude him from the royal family, unless it can stimulate the bloodline of the You family, he will never enter the royal family tree, and the family tree will only be retained to his parents' generation.
It's cruel, it's ruthless, it's very common, and every year a large number of You's descendants are removed from the list, and it's rare to be able to inspire the bloodline to return to the royal family.
The second is that it is not the descendants of the You family at all, such as the wrong child by yin and yang, such as the father of the red apricot out of the wall and not the father. The former is relatively rare, and the latter is a little more, so there is nothing to say when encountered, and the killing that should be killed after finding out can be connected to the nine clans at most, and it is okay to find the wrong one, and if you can't find it, you will admit that you are unlucky, and you will be expelled from the family tree on the charge of "negligence and confusion", and you will be degraded to the common people.
The third type is more special, all the children of the You clan who have murdered the same clan, even if the bloodline is strong, there is a very high chance of losing the recognition of the Tianyuan Sword.
This is because the Tian Yuan Sword distinguishes the bloodline and qualifications of the person who touches it, and at the same time, it will also explore the heart of the person who touches it, if you have mutilated the blood relatives of the same clan and cannot stop its exploration, you will lose its recognition and protection, and those who have mutilated your own brothers and sisters will even attract backlash and be killed by it on the spot.
The last situation is not 100% accurate, theoretically, as long as the cultivation is high enough, the concentration is strong enough, supplemented by a secret method to seal a part of his mind so that the Tian Yuan Sword can not detect those dark and dirty memories, you can get through the trick, but the Tian Yuan Sword is one of the three immortal weapons, how many people can block its incursion?
Therefore, the last situation is regarded as the last and most powerful means of self-proof when the people of the You clan are involved in the vicious incident of cannibalism, as long as Tian Yuan Sword approves it, no matter how much evidence there is, it is useless, and the defendant is innocent.
This is a good method, but few people use it, because everyone has dirty corners in their hearts, and how many people are willing to let others expose things that they don't want to think about?
It's not a person who is revealed, but the Tianyuan Sword, which is a Zhenguo immortal weapon, in case it is an "old man" who is in a bad mood and turns out the evil thoughts that he just secretly wants to enjoy as a real thing, how can it be good?
This is a precedent, there have been people who have lost the recognition of the Tianyuan Sword because of a plan thrown in the plan when they testified to themselves, and lost their future and life, and there are still people who have not lost their recognition, but the bloodline reaction has been reduced from pure to thin, and they have almost been expelled from the family tree, King Rui and the prince have been fighting openly and secretly for a long time because of the prince's position, and it is impossible that there are no evil thoughts in his heart, in case he provokes the fairy sword to be angry and favors him, what can he do, is he not afraid?
No matter what others thought, You Jingen finally entered the Tianyuan Palace, and the result was unexpected, Tianyuan Sword treated him as usual, and a storm subsided.
Even if the emperor was suspicious, he did not dare to violate the ancestral teachings, without any punishment, and let him out of the palace after being appeased, everything was as usual in the future, as if nothing had happened, and the encirclement and suppression of Huangquan was repeatedly harsh, and the bloody wind and rain were ten years, from the court to the rivers and lakes, all those who were implicated were frightened, for fear that the next moment the officers and soldiers would break into the door, and the heads of the whole family would fall to the ground.
Regardless of whether Huang Quan is behind You Jingen or not, he and the prince have already torn their faces, because the people who investigated the case were almost all replaced by the prince's people after the first piece of evidence appeared, and the people who accused him in the court were not only the officials of the prince's family, but also the prince himself.
The battle between the two sides escalated again and again, only maintaining the superficial harmony, Feng Moxiu took the opportunity to leave the capital at that time, away from right and wrong, Li Tai recognized Feng Moxiu's decision very much, and thought that this was the way of a smart person.
Is it so easy to participate in partisanship?
Can enough benefits really make the ghost grind?
Stop it!
How many kings with different surnames did Tianyuan found, which one was not the overlord of one side, and which one was not the pillar of the country, where did they go?
It's not that you're on the wrong side of the queue and you're a grinder!
It is in the people who plan to do things, and it is in the sky to achieve things, and there is no such thing as a thing in the world, especially party struggle!
Blood kinship, personal friendship, desire for power and profit, loyalty, treachery, good and evil, mixed together are just two words - variables.
Variables always exist, there is no one in the world who has no last resort, and those who have no last resort are immortals, not people!
And even if the gods are not necessarily accurate, so the team is no different from betting, winning twice at one time does not mean that you can always win, the only one who can win in the gambling game is the banker, who is the banker?
It's the emperor, it's the throne under the emperor's ass!
The Zhan family, as the only remaining king with a different surname, has been prosperous until now, and it is clear that he has thousands of skills but does not do thousands of things, and he also follows the pace of the banker, so he is sound and makes a fortune, this is a smart person!
Li Tai is very optimistic about Feng Moxiu, whether it is out of his own instinct and thinking or because of the teachings of King Zhan, he has the potential to become the next King Zhan and become the long-lasting pillar of Tianyuan.
Unfortunately, his son did not understand.
Perhaps in order to save his father's interpersonal relationships, reshape and promote the impression of the Chijian Marquis Mansion among dignitaries, or simply for himself, trying to prove his potential and ability, Feng Zhili is very popular in the capital, and he is favored by the prince but can make the Rui Wang family look at him differently, which can be described as a model of long-sleeved dancing, but in Li Tai's opinion, this is not a good thing.
Feng Zhili's eight-sided exquisiteness is certainly his own ability, but someone has to support him, most of the people rush is his father's face, and the status of the Red Sword Marquis is transcendent!
Feng Moxiu's transcendent status stems from his own strength and the grace of the saints, but the most important thing is that he stays out of the matter and is only loyal to His Majesty.
Because of this attitude, the emperor believed that he favored him, so that he could leave a nickname in the officialdom, but Feng Zhili was destroying this trust.
Although Feng Zhili did not make a clear statement, walking too close is no different from standing in line, and he is friendly on both sides, playing balance, saying that what sounds good is neutrality, and if it is ugly, it is simply the two ends of the first rat.
The real neutrality is Feng Moxiu's appearance, and the only person who can play a balance in the party struggle is the emperor, and no one else.
He's playing with fire.
There are many similar thoughts, everyone is thinking about it, and a small number of people have the most interesting whims, they are wondering if the Marquis of Jian will marry again.
At the beginning, it was rumored that Mrs. Sheng because it was difficult for her to have children, and persuaded her husband to marry a flat wife, but she was sternly rejected by the Marquis of Jian, and it was passed on as a good story for a while.
Laughing and laughing, at this time and that time, the son of the world was disabled but his mind was still normal, and now he has madness, and the Hou Ye has shown a signal to change the world, with the degree to which he cares about the difference between the concubines, it is not impossible to marry a flat wife and have a little sister-in-law, not to mention that he is a merry character who is greedy for beauty.
All kinds of rumors continued to flow into the Hou Mansion and sink into the sea, no matter Hou Ye, Mrs. Sheng or the two aunts, no one gave back any further statement.
A few of Hou Ye's relatives had some attitudes, but unfortunately no one listened, and what happened in front of Hou Mansion that day had already spread, so that the people of Quanzhou could once again see how disgusted Hou Ye was with his brothers.
Listen to them?
Wait to fall into the pit.
Feng Zhiping also received a message, which was brought by Niu Chunhan.
I have to say that Lao Niu is indeed a talent, worthy of being a spy, and the miscellaneous rumors were classified by him into files with great regulations, not only is it not difficult to read, but it also feels like reading a book.
"Talent!"
Feng Zhiping sighed, and almost didn't have fun when he saw the part of guessing that Jianhou would remarry, and muttered: "Outsiders think that the old man is a womanizer, but they don't know that he is a promiscuous person, I have never seen anyone who walks around the Qinglou like him and only listens to the music! Staying overnight is also a song for the beauty to sing for a night, and there are only a few songs over and over again, and a lot of money is given to the lovely people who are about to go crazy, he can definitely enter the top five among the most unpopular people in the Qinglou in Quanzhou, he is simply a pervert, too perverted!"
