first minister

Chapter 249 Concubine De wrote a letter, Yuhu was rewarded

"How does Miss Qin plan to help us?"

Feng Xiuyun directly asked the most concerned question.

Qin Li was also prepared, and said: "If Mr. Xia is not the mastermind behind the scenes, Mr. Xia's danger lies first in Chun Wei. If you can't refer to it, you will miss a good opportunity and waste three years. At this time of drastic changes in the world, it will be a big disaster." The second is to be falsely accused of being a murderer, and to judge the crime as a murderer. Although His Majesty appreciates it and De Fei protects it, it is difficult for opponents to do this, but they have to guard against it. The first thing I can do is to report the news from the mansion first. Time will be passed on to you so that you can target it, and secondly, I will try my best to persuade my father and grandparents so that they can look at the matter fairly."

"As for other things"

Qin Li's voice gradually lowered, and the spring breeze helped shake the leaves, making rustling noises, covering up the beauty's whispers.

In a certain mansion in Zhongjing City, a man reported respectfully, "My lord, the Qin family once again clearly refused, and the three masters of Tushan returned with the King of Jiaodong without success."

The man sat upright, and chuckled when he heard the words, "Those three old men really take themselves seriously, and everyone respects them on weekdays. Offending the scholars in the world for no reason, but now that their sons are dead, how could you come to the door and ask them to let the murderer go, and you're just bringing shame on yourself."

The man nodded in agreement, and then said: "The three heroes of Tushan have all returned without success, what else can the Jiang Anhou Mansion do?"

The man smiled, "Of course I'm asking for their last card."

"My lord, you mean that Concubine De will go to intercede in person?"

"If Concubine De doesn't go, those people under her who have received Xia Jingyun's favor will definitely be renounced, and she has always boasted of being kind. From any point of view, she will definitely take action."

The man said worriedly: "But if Concubine De makes a move, will the Qin family be able to withstand it? If the Qin family cannot withstand it, Xia Jingyun will be released? A large part of our plan will be lost!"

The man smiled lightly, "It's okay, I've thought about this for a long time, let's spread the other news."

The man's eyes lit up, and he was about to back off, but the man stopped him again, "The people in Heibingtai and Jingzhao Mansion must be extremely vigilant now, eyeliner is everywhere, and now there is a danger of being exposed, so be careful Do things, don't be careless!"

"Yes!"

"In addition, the aftermath of the two victims must be done well, and the family members must take good care of them."

"Yes! My lord, don't worry!"
-
"Hahahaha!"

In the British Duke's study room, there was a burst of loud and carefree laughter.

"I didn't expect that even those three old men came forward, and the old things of the Qin family would still dare not let go. Xia Jingyun is finished this time! It is definitely over!"

The entourage on the side also smiled and cupped their hands, "Congratulations, master, the big trouble is eliminated! Xia Jingyun can't take scientific examinations, even if he is forced to be an official, we can still be ridiculed by the scholarly public opinion. In the next three years, this person will be no more than a white-clothed counselor at best." !"

The British Duke nodded slowly, "Even the three masters of Tushan couldn't persuade, the Qin family is determined to use Xia Jingyun's momentum, and the next thing is to see if that woman Defei will put down her face and go for a walk .”
-
On the sixth day of February, there are still twelve days before Chunwei.

In Changle Palace, looking at Concubine De who lowered her eyebrows and silently kneaded his arms, the thoughtful Emperor Chongning couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you begging for that child?"

Concubine De stopped her movements and raised her head, "Before Gao Yang was assassinated, the concubine naturally wanted to ask His Majesty to uphold justice for him, so that the thief would not go unpunished, and at the same time to clean up the law. But now that the eldest son of the Qin family is also assassinated to death, how can the concubine do that?" Abolishing the public will because of self-interest, obstructing others from seeking justice."

She helped to knead again, "What's more, since His Majesty has made an order, the concubine should only share his worries for His Majesty, so how can he cause trouble for His Majesty? The concubine believes that there must be a minister who can enforce the law fairly, so that he will not be wronged and wronged."

Emperor Chongning shook his head with emotion, and looked straight at her, "Aren't you afraid that he will be released from prison in the future, and blame you for not doing your best to save him?"

Concubine De smiled lightly and said: "Speaking of it, maybe Your Majesty doesn't believe it. Brother and I have only known each other for a short time. The reason why we can be so trusting and close is because we share a common ideal. We both hope that the country will be safe and peaceful, and the world will be peaceful. I miss him." I don't want me to disregard the law and save him for personal gain. Including those gathered in the Jiang'anhou Mansion. According to my brother, he also prioritizes morality. Build momentum."

Emperor Chongning nodded slowly, "If you make friends with each other, you will disperse if the benefits are exhausted; if you make friends with power, you will die if you lose power;

After finishing speaking, he put down the pile of miscellaneous books he was reading in his hand, and smiled playfully, "I'll ask you one last time, do you really have nothing to ask of me?"

Concubine De said: "The only hope for my concubine is that my younger brother will not miss Chunwei, so that his heart of serving the country with fists will not fail, and His Majesty will not use it openly."

Emperor Chongning smiled and said, "You want me to help you?"

Concubine De said softly: "You are not joking, the concubine will definitely not damage your majesty's prestige because of this matter. The concubine wants to write a letter, and asks the Qin family to be accommodating for a while, so that Gao Yang can participate in Chunwei before we can talk about it. Does Your Majesty think it is appropriate?"

Emperor Chongning thought for a while, then nodded, "Well, write it down, I'll ask Jin Zhong to deliver it for you."

Concubine De got up and knelt down on the ground, "I thank Your Majesty for your kindness!"

On the seventh day of February, there are still eleven days before the beginning of spring.

A servant in the palace rushed out of the palace on a fast horse. He was about to drive through the still bustling streets and alleys of Zhongjing City to the Qin family, the richest man in Beijing.

At the same time, a steward ran into Qin's house hastily.

"Master, it's not good!"

The Patriarch of the Qin family was in a state of desperation recently. Hearing this, he couldn't help cursing: "I'm fine, what's wrong!"

"The master doesn't know which murderer is spreading rumors, saying that we have something to do with the family of Shi Dingzhong, the former Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites who has been executed, and that he has hidden Shi Dingzhong's wife!"

The Patriarch of the Qin family only felt his heart skip a beat, and hurriedly said: "How to say it specifically, tell me in detail!"

"That's right!" The steward swallowed his saliva and moistened his throat, "For some reason, there was a rumor in the city that Xiagong and Xia's bandits had a bad relationship with the Shi family, and the Shi family ended up subduing the law, but Shi Dingzhong's wife is ours. The illegitimate daughter of a person in power in the Qin family, so she was replaced secretly, and then this was known by the Xia thief, so he vented his anger on our Qin family, and designed to kill our eldest son to warn Qin Home. It's all around town now!"

"What nonsense!"

The Patriarch of the Qin Family stood up against the case, and said with a heavy conscience: "This is slander! It's a complete slander! Our Qin family has nothing to do with Shi Dingzhong's sinful family!"

The steward stared blankly at the Patriarch of the Qin family, and blinked. Shouldn't your most appropriate reaction be to say that's the case, and then go to the Black Ice Station to report and interrogate Xia Jingyun?
Fortunately, there is still Qin Li in the Qin family. Hearing this, he quietly walked to his father, half reminding and half pleading: "Father, if this rumor is true, maybe we can find out the truth from it, since someone can spread such rumors If there are rumors, then he is very likely to be behind the scenes. We should immediately send people to the Black Ice Terrace to inform the head of the Black Ice Terrace, the Ministry of Punishment, and the adults of the Jingzhao Mansion, and let them follow this clue to find out."

The Patriarch of the Qin family finally came to his senses under Qin Li's gaze, "Yes, yes, please arrange it quickly! Go!"

After Qin Li left, he immediately found his father and panicked about the news he had just heard.

"What are you panicking about!"

The old Patriarch Qin gave his impatient son a contemptuous look, "Do you think that Mr. Qin Xiang came over that day, because his father would be so stupid that he didn't arrange it when he found out about this matter? He was transferred away long ago! "

"Then what is the purpose of this rumor?"

The Patriarch of the Qin family asked in confusion. Although he was not as smart as these old foxes, he could understand at a glance. This was the news that someone deliberately spread.

This person is either the chief envoy hiding behind the scenes, or someone like Qin Xiang who knows the inside story, but he really can't figure out what these people are up to.

The old Patriarch Qin couldn't figure it out for a while, but the appearance of this news made him more convinced that Xia Jingyun was not the real mastermind behind the scenes.

Just when the father and son couldn't figure it out, a report solved their doubts.

"Master, there are people coming from the palace!"

Sitting in the main hall, the head of the Qin family read the letter from Jin Zhong, the servant in the palace, and silently handed it to his father.

The old Patriarch read Concubine De's heartfelt letter silently, and felt that Concubine De had never overwhelmed others until now, her heart of intimidation and temptation, as well as her logical and well-organized mind, while secretly admiring her, Quite feel a bit difficult.

Moreover, Concubine De's hole card has already been played, I am afraid that it is difficult for their faction to think of other ways, right?
Is it time to end it?

Just when he was hesitating a little, feeling that he couldn't stand it anymore, and didn't know what excuse to refuse, the rumor just now suddenly appeared in his mind.

!!!

He was startled suddenly, and a chill instantly covered his whole body.

It was only at this time that he finally realized that the person behind the scenes seemed to have guessed that the Qin family might not be able to withstand it, so he gave him a perfect excuse:

Now that there are important clues to the case, it's inappropriate for you to ask me to release him at this time, right?

But the crux of the problem is, what is the purpose of the other party doing this?Do you really just want to help yourself reject Concubine De?

And the final problem is, should I follow his will?
If you follow along, how will this play end in the way you want, and will you fall into the other party's deeper calculations;

If you don't follow along, will your choice be exposed?

Suddenly, this scheming old man was caught in a dilemma.

"Father, father!"

The son's two calls pulled him back from his thoughts.

Jin Zhong smiled and said: "Old Master, Master Qin, what do you two think?"

He looked at the two of them, and out of his affection for Mr. Xia and Concubine De, he took a risk and added, "Have you two masters thought about what to do if it turns out that the real culprit is not Mr. Xia?" ? The situation in Beijing is changing, and no one knows what the future will be like."

Patriarch Qin looked at him and said, "But what if the murderer is Mr. Xia?"

Jin Zhong was taken aback for a moment, as if he was a little puzzled by the old man's persistent hostility.

Patriarch Qin went on to say: "There are some gossip in the city today, which has something to do with Mr. Xia. Father-in-law can also pay attention to it when he goes back. As for Empress Concubine De, please wait a moment, father-in-law. I will write a handwritten letter."

The head of the Qin family quickly got up, "Father, let me come."

"Write it for the Father himself."

The old Patriarch Qin walked to the table in the corner of the main hall, rubbed the ink himself while thinking, then spread out the paper, and wrote a few lines with a pen:
[The empress's love for her righteous brother is admirable, and her generosity and kindness are touching, but don't forget that the eldest son of the Qin family died on the street.

The old minister only seeks justice, and does not choose interests for the purpose of turning an enemy into a friend. Although the minister is a businessman, he is by no means a profit-seeking generation. I just ask my mother to understand and not be hostile to us. 】

After finishing writing and drying, he put it into the envelope with his own hands, sealed the sealant, and handed it to Jin Zhong himself, "The answer from the Qin family is here, please pass it on to the concubine Defei."

Jin Zhong took it with his hand, honestly put it into his arms, and got up to say goodbye.

"Why did father refuse so bluntly?"

The Patriarch of the Qin family, who watched the content of his father's letter, was a little worried. After all, she is the most respected concubine in the harem, who is only one step away from the throne of the empress!
The old head of the Qin family smiled calmly, "It's okay. Let's take a look."

Breaking Liangshan is not to scold a place called Liangshan for being broken, but to record a glorious and heroic story.

47 years ago, the Great Xia was in turmoil, the sky-high building was about to collapse, and the wolves of Beiliang, who were dominating the prairie, waited for an opportunity to go south. Seeing the loss of life, Jiang Laojun held a spear and led 20 elite riders, and broke Beiliang here. The [-] army killed in the First World War left the corpses of the barbarians in Beiliang strewn all over the field, bleeding and drifting across the oars, and dared not go south to herd horses for decades.

When the tall Beijing Temple was built, and when the exhausted and excited Xia Erlang leaned on their spears and knives, singing and drinking, this little-known little hill next to the grassland was called Poliang Mountain.

On the vast endless plain below the mountain, there are fortified camps and flags flying, and cavalrymen roar and shuttle across the grassland, using this piece of heaven-given grassland to practice the cavalry tactics of the Wudang Army.

Jiang Yuhu rode his horse and stood proudly on the mountain, watching the performance of each department, his expression was like the ice that never melted in the extreme north, cold and daunting.

Jin Jiancheng stood aside, looking at the cavalry general who was leading a group of cavalry, and said with a smile: "Xia Yunfei is really a good guy. He has made great achievements in the past six months, and he even led a scout team of 20 people a few days ago. , wiped out an elite hundred-man team in Beiliang, the key is that the combat skills have improved rapidly, and even I can hardly beat him."

Jiang Yuhu said lightly: "Are you proud of winning?"

Jin Jiancheng:
However, he has long been used to his young master's attitude, and said with a smile: "I hope he grows up as soon as possible, and then he can share a lot of worries for young master."

Pretending to be beeping, Jiang Yuhu was still happy to see one of his subordinates stand out, with a slight smile, looking down, "It is gratifying to win a strong general in the army, but as far as I am concerned, it is better to expect Xia Jingyun to be able to Make a name for yourself in Zhongjing earlier, so that we can fight less wars, so that we won’t be busy helping to suppress the bandits and put down the rebellion at the same time.”

Jin Jiancheng took it very seriously, nodded and flattered him, "Your Highness has a good opinion."

At this time, a fast horse rushed towards the hill, stopped a hundred paces away, then dismounted and trotted over, "My lord, the detailed reports from China and Beijing in the past seven days have been delivered."

Being in the frontier, one must never be ignorant of major affairs in the court. If there is a direct descendant on the front line, sending a letter every seven days has been the tradition of the Jiang family for many years.

Jiang Yuhu reached out to take it, checked the wax seal, opened the letter box, and took out the letter paper wrapped in a roll from inside.

He watched calmly, and suddenly his face turned cold when he saw that the murderous aura condensed from the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood rose almost instantly.

Jin Jiancheng swallowed his saliva, and carefully asked: "My lord, what happened."

Jiang Yuhu squinted his eyes and looked ahead, "That trash from the Qin family was killed, and Xia Jingyun was designed to be imprisoned in the Black Ice Terrace as the murderer."

　In the past two days, the state has been a little bad, and the thinking is not clear. Today, this is a two-in-one chapter, and I need to adjust it.
