White Moonlight of Powerful Officials at large

Xie Chang Yuan was making tea in the gazebo.

It snowed heavily overnight and cleared up in the morning.

It is rare that there is no wind around the lake, only the lake surface is as ice-like as a mirror, and there is no sign of melting under the sun.

In the past, in this kind of weather, he would definitely practice shooting with Xie Nanci.

In the cold winter, it is hearty to practice sweat.

It's just that now his body is not as good as before, he can't dance with the gun, and there is no one to accompany him to practice with the gun anymore.

Not only did he have no one to practice guns with him, but he even had no one to drink tea with him.

Xie Nanzhi is good at tea art, before he got married, Xie Nanzhi always served the tea in his room himself.

Sang Liu came here just now.

Cry before him.

"Master, master must not force your wife any more!"

Sang Liu is no longer the sneaky little girl who followed Xie Nanzhi back then. She has been in the palace for many years, and she already has the aura that a person in the palace should have. I’ve seen the little Highness, I couldn’t sleep all night, I finally fell asleep, just when the servants were packing up the dowry, I just found out...I just found out..."

Sang Liu presented a letter.

Or rather, a suicide note.

The water was already boiling, but Xie Chang Yuan didn't respond, but opened the "suicide note" and read it again.

"A Yu:
Be kind to Xie Shi.

Be kind to Yuer.

I owe you a lot, and I will repay you in the next life. "

Emperor Jiahe's name was taboo Chu Yu, and he hadn't been called by anyone for many years.

It turned out that she put all the crimes on herself last night, and was going to apologize for her "sin" with death?
Had she been pushed to such an extent?

Xie Chang Yuan put the piece of letter paper into the stove, and the flames sprang up and devoured it inch by inch.

Xie Changyuan was furious when he first learned of Pei You's existence.

The eldest son born in the middle palace, according to Xie's status in the court back then, and according to the little emperor's love for Xie Nanzhi, he must be crowned prince at birth, with no match for dignity.

The Xie family has a chief minister, a queen empress, a hussar general, and the crown prince, who can stand in the way of Xie Changyuan in the future? !
But his daughter, who had always followed the rules, sent him away silently without anyone knowing it, and made Princess Zhaohe favored for so many years.

It's simply a big joke in the world!
But after being angry, as the head of the Xie family, he had to think about the future of the Xie family.

The little emperor is not what it used to be today, and the power of the Xie family is also far from what it was before.If he uses Xie Nanzhi to steal the dragon and turn the phoenix to talk about things, and punish her and Xie's crimes, Xie's family will be in great trouble.

Therefore, the first ones he decided to get rid of were the Wangs and his wife.

When Xie Nanzhi arranged for Pei You to be sent to Lingnan, it was to take care of everything.But she didn't expect that there would be frequent wars on the Lingnan border, and there would be frequent epidemics. In less than half a year, all the people who protected Pei You to Lingnan lost contact.

The Wangs said that they adopted Pei You when he was four years old, who knows if they have concealed something?

Besides, having such a pair of poor adoptive parents is not a glorious thing for Pei You.

If you die, you will leave a memory.

The second one is naturally Wen Tingchun.

Under his persecution, Xie Nanzhi told the whole story about that year.

She actually tolerated a court official who watched the little prince being carried out of the palace live to this day, and even lived under her nose, becoming a fourth-rank official of Honglu Temple!
When did you have other thoughts?

It was probably when Pei You returned to Beijing to report on his duties at the Jiangnan Supervisory Academy.

That day, he happened to go to the harem to see Xie Nanzhi, and when he came out, he bumped into their resolute, wise and martial emperor, His Majesty, standing at the gate of Qinzheng Hall, watching Pei You leave.

The pride and pride in those eyes, full of expectations and hopes, pierced into his heart like a sharp knife.

He used to look at Xie Nanci like that.

His youngest son fought on the battlefield at the age of 15, made outstanding achievements at the age of 17, and won the title of General Hussars at the age of 19.

Everyone said that Xie Chang Yuan was the most accomplished Patriarch of the Xie Clan in the past hundred years, but he didn't think so.

His southern diction, martial arts, and marksmanship have long surpassed him, and his essays, he can write poems at the age of three, and he can write poems at the age of seven. If he takes part in the scientific examination, he may not be worse than those champions; he even brought out Xie Jiajun with one hand and killed countless enemies , made countless contributions.

He is Xie's hope!

But such a dazzling star fell when he was only 25 years old.

After ten years of fighting abroad, he didn't even have time to start a family, so he died alone in the northern border battlefield.

Xie Chang Yuan refused to accept it!

He stayed well in southern Xinjiang, why should he be transferred to northern Xinjiang?

That battle was obviously won, why did his Nan Ci die there? !

It was the little emperor who did it on purpose.

It was the little emperor who moved his hands and feet!
The Xie family is powerful, and he has been jealous for a long time, how can he tolerate the Xie family becoming another patriarch who is more dazzling than Xie Changyuan?

Xie Chang Yuan was extremely determined.

How could he have died in such an inconspicuous battle in countless Nanci battles?

They were plotted against!

But now the person who schemed against them actually got his wish and had an outstanding eldest son.

He has no objection to letting the child return to the position of prince, but does he want the father to be kind and the son filial?

He wanted them to be like fire and water, turning against each other.

This is how he later explored "Xiaoya", and explored Zhiwangguizhuang.

The dearest relatives and loved ones died in the hands of Emperor Jiahe, and the relationship between father and son has been peaceful since then, which can be regarded as revenge for Xie Nanci's death.

It's just that he never thought that such a trivial matter would be worth Xie Nanzhi's death?

It seemed that he had committed a heinous crime.

Xie Chang Yuan raised his gray eyebrows, finally opened the pot of boiling water, and threw some tea leaves into it.

He is not bad at writing, but he doesn't pay much attention to literati, and he doesn't care how the tea should be brewed to make it fragrant, as long as there is a cup of tea to drink.

As long as he acts, he can achieve his goal.

Xie Nanzhi's side didn't work, he had other ways.

When Wen's Ah Ning died in his hands, even if Emperor Jiahe didn't commit suicide himself, people would die because of him. From then on, when the two meet each other, they will feel like a stick in their throats and will not be happy.

Xie Chang Yuan poured a cup of boiling hot tea, it was cold, and after a while, the temperature of the tea was already right.

He took a sip and frowned.

Unpleasant to drink.

I don't know what Wen's Ah Ning's tea art is like, when we go on the road together, we must force her to serve him for a while.

After a cup of tea, someone came hurriedly from the long corridor, stepped forward and knelt down: "Master, Mo Xuan has missed!"

Almost at the same moment, the galloping carriage on Chang'an Street was stopped, Gu Fei pulled the reins quickly, and looked at Shiliu who was rushing forward in amazement, sweating profusely.

Before he could ask, Pei You inside had already come out.

Sixteen immediately knelt down and said, "Young Master, Madam has been taken away!"
-
On a morning that couldn't be more ordinary, before noon, all the gates in the east, west, north, south, and north of the capital were suddenly blocked.

At the same time, a group of unknown persons searched the capital.

Someone immediately reported such a disturbing behavior to the officials, but the people who came to Jingzhao Mansion also left angrily, and the search continued.

Someone recognized the man guarding the gate of the city, who seemed to be the guard who often drove the carriage for the son of the Duke of the State.

Some people also said that when they saw people from Jingzhao Mansion coming, the unknown person showed the badge of the Duke's Mansion.

The Duke's mansion has always kept a low profile from the Duke to the prince. What kind of event has this happened? !

Linglan was crying anxiously in Qinghui Hall.

It's just a blink of an eye.

She saw the secret guards summoned by Shiliu fighting those men in black, and followed Wen Ning to the Duke's mansion.Seeing that there was only one corner before the gate of the mansion, two people rushed out, knocked Wen Ning unconscious and took him away.

She didn't even bother to shout, and hurried back to tell Shiliu to stop.

When the men in black heard that the girl had been taken away, they also stopped.

But when they chased him again, there was no trace.

"No, it's gray, the kind of cloth shirt most commonly seen on Chang'an Street." Linglan cried while describing to Tu Bai the appearance of the man who captured Wen Ning, "Both of them are about the same size as Wang Qinsheng, and thinner than him. .”

"But I didn't see the appearance, the movement was too fast."

Tu Bai stared intently, painting according to what she described.

But no matter the clothes, or the body shape, there are a lot of them on the street, and it is obvious that the other party has come prepared.

"Are these two men in the same group as those men in black? Have you caught the men in black?"

Seeing Tubai's troubled expression, Linglan grabbed his arm and asked, "Where's your son? Are you looking for a girl? Do you have any clues?"

Tubai didn't answer.

Gu Fei immediately led people to seal the gates of various cities, and most of the hidden guards in the capital, including the guards in the Duke's Mansion, were mobilized.

But tonight, the capital can be turned upside down.

As for the son...

Hearing the news on the spot, he turned to Xie's mansion.

Half an hour has passed now.

In the morning, the sun, which had only temporarily emerged from the clouds, hid behind the thick dark clouds again after noon.

The sky is gloomy, and it looks like another heavy snow is brewing.

By the long lake of Xie Mansion, the ice is still there, the wind has not yet blown, and without the sun, it is not as pleasant as in the morning, but there is a charcoal stove on the table, so it is not cold.

It's just that the tea boiled on the charcoal stove has now been replaced by a pot of snacks, and the people sitting around the stove have changed from one person to two.

Xie Chang Yuan happily poured Pei You a glass of wine.

"Before, I only invited you to enjoy tea and play chess, and I have never had a meal with you. Today is a complete success."

The sake was poured into the cup, Pei You lowered his eyes, and did not move.

"What? It's just a lunch with the old man, so difficult?" Xie Chang Yuan raised his eyes, looking at this grandson who was even more like him than Xie Nanci.

Xie Nanci's excellence is unmatched by anyone, but he was born with a good fortune, which lacks the hostility of this child.

If he wasn't very old, he would be interested in training him for a few years, and the results would be quite surprising.

Pei You's eyelashes moved slightly, and when she raised her eyes, her dark eyes were dull and sparse.

He didn't say anything, just followed what Xie Chang Yuan said, and ate with chopsticks.

Xie Chang Yuan then said again: "Having suffered so many years, do you have no resentment in your heart?"

Pei You's clenched fist in his sleeve had already been loosened, and his emotions were hidden in his silent eyes: "Nothing."

"Is there always something to blame the old man for?"

Pei You raised her eyes coldly: "Master Xie, they are just poor people, why trample on them?"

Xie Chang Yuan held his lamp and smiled: "As I forgive you, they are just a group of mediocre common people, so what if you want him to kill hundreds or even thousands of people?"

Pei You stared at him, her lips pursed slightly.

"Happy today, what are you talking about spoiling the fun?" Xie Chang Yuan raised the wine cup, "Come, drink!"

Pei You rolled her eyes and didn't raise her glass.

Xie Chang Yuan didn't mind either, he sipped happily, drank three glasses of wine, and asked again: "This is the end, how are you doing now?"

Pei Youdan said: "What to do, what to do."

Xie Changyuan laughed loudly: "Whatever is good, whatever! As expected of my Xie family! Do you have evidence in your hand? Don't you think that a surviving dead man can grasp the lifeline of this old man?"

Pei You's expression was blank, and he didn't answer.

"If the old man threatens the life of Wen's daughter and asks you to give up pursuing this matter, what should you do?"

Pei You's eyelashes trembled, and he lowered his eyes, covering the dark glow in his eyes.

Xie Chang Yuan laughed again: "Look, it's not how important those people's lives are, but whether the chips on the other side are enough."

"My lord didn't mean that, so why say such a thing to fool me." Pei You twitched his lips.

"Oh?" Xie Chang Yuan raised his gray eyebrows, "Then excuse me, what is the old man's intention?"

Pei You looked at Xie Chang Yuan indifferently.

After a while, finally put away the alienated look on his face, raised his hand to pick up the flagon, and poured him a glass of wine.

"Thank you, my lord." His voice was also much gentler, "Shu's nature is cold, there is no need for adults to bother, and there will be no father-son relationship. You can just tell me what you want to do with Shu. Ah Ning is too delicate to be served. , I won’t stay in the Xie Mansion to bother you.”

Xie Chang Yuan let out a sneer: "What if the old man says that she has already died in Jiuquan at this time?"

Pei You's eyes that had been calm all this time suddenly flushed with a layer of blush, and he stood up abruptly, with a sharp coldness bursting out from the inside out.

Xie Chang Yuan didn't care at all, he just stroked his gray beard: "Such a reaction, forgive me, you don't look like a cold person."

He looked up at Pei You: "You have lied to this old man for a long time, you must let this old man get back some face?"

"sit."

Pei You stared at Xie Chang Yuan, with a sharp edge in his eyes.

Xie Chang Yuan was still calm and relaxed, as flat as the surface of a lake, but also as deep as a secluded pool, unable to see what he was thinking.

After a while, Pei You's breathing calmed down again, and he forcibly released the five fingers that were clenched again, and sat back.

Xie Changyuan put some food into his bowl with gentle eyes, still smiling: "Forgive me for tracking down Li Wen, and setting up Wutong Lane, she was calm and patient, but when it came to this Wen's daughter, she even waited for a meal no?"

"Yes, I can't wait." Pei You didn't shy away from showing concern for Wen Ning.

He couldn't wait for more than a meal, or a cup of tea.

Pei You looked at Xie Changyuan coldly: "If Master Xie was on the battlefield in Northern Xinjiang, he would not even be able to wait."

Xie Chang Yuan was taken aback, a strange color appeared in his eyes, and then he laughed loudly: "You want to provoke the old man?"

"Excuse me, no one has taught you that haste makes waste, and rapid progress only leads to death?"

He raised his eyes and saw the same pair of black eyes.

Pei You looked at him without hesitation.

Two or two are silent.

A ray of sunlight breaks through the clouds, and the sky is full of light, making this pavilion brighter.

Xie Changyuan's brows and eyes softened, and he asked with a smile: "I heard from many officers and men of the Xie family army that you know martial arts and can also use spears? Didn't Nan Ci go to you back then?"

"Let's talk about it." He no longer looked at Pei You, but looked at the lake that was as quiet as stagnant water, "You want to know the whereabouts of Wen's daughter, old man, and you want to know everything about Nanci."

One lunch, from noon to evening.

No servant dared to disturb him halfway, Xie Chang Yuan drank one cup after another.

How wonderful.

His Nan Ci actually did so many things that he didn't know about.

His son and daughter, it turns out that they all know about his ambitions, and they would rather hide this grandson than let him know anything about it.

The culprit of all this, could it be him?

No, his biggest mistake was that his surname was Xie, not Chu!

Evening was sinking.

There was a breeze on the ice-covered lake, and the small red clay stove finally burned out all the charcoal fire, and all the wine on the table ran out.

Xie Chang Yuan didn't appear drunk at all, and drank the last glass of wine on his back: "Go, play guns!"

Xie's half-family military general, there is naturally a martial arts training field in the mansion. Although it has been idle for many years, the servants dare not neglect it. There is no snow or dead leaves in the field. The knives, swords, and guns are all placed according to their original appearance. Neatly.

Xie Chang Yuan picked up a spear casually and threw it into Pei You's hands: "Come on, show me the trick."

Veins appeared on Pei You's forehead, and the knuckles holding the spear turned white, but he did not refuse.

In the martial arts field that has been cold and silent for many years, the sound of breaking through the sky resounded after a long time.

Pei You suppressed the coldness of the afternoon, and vented all his anger on the spear.

One person dances a gun, it looks like a multi-person battle, and the evil spirit is soaring.

Xie Changyuan stared at the figures in the field without blinking, tears gradually welled up in Cangqu's eyes.

After a lapse of 15 years, goodbye to Boyhood, goodbye to Xie Jiaqiang.

Enough is enough.

With the gun in the gun rack, Xie Chang Yuan looked up to the sky and smiled, tears streaming down the gully at the corner of his eyes.

He turned his back, and there was no abnormality in his voice: "Yu'er, in fact, you know that according to the old man's temperament, if your Wen's A Ning fell into my hands, it would already be a skeleton."

"It's just that you don't dare to gamble."

"You also know that in this capital city, there is no secret that can be hidden. Now, besides the old man, who else is eyeing you."

Xie Changyuan turned his back to Pei You, his back seemed to be a little older: "You don't want to call me grandfather, and you probably don't want to call that dog emperor father. But Yuer, you have entered the game."

"In the game, whether to advance or retreat, it is up to you."

"Wen's A Ning is not in the hands of my grandfather. My people were stopped by your hidden guards, but the oriole with ulterior motives took advantage of it."

"Go ahead, go and think about it, how can you really protect what you want to protect."

Xie Chang Yuan put his hands behind his back, didn't look back at Pei You, and walked away slowly.

Young people's affairs, let the young people worry about it.

He has to go his own way.
