Chapter 206: Xie Wuzheng
But at this moment, in a quiet alley not far from the imperial city, in the private courtyard of Erjin, all the disciples of the Xie family gathered together, and the atmosphere was dignified.
"What the hell is going on here?!" Because the house in the imperial capital is expensive, the Xie family has just arrived, and Yun Fenghuang is the favorite concubine in the palace. In order not to be too ostentatious, the younger brothers and sisters did not buy a big house, but dispersed. , bought several small courtyards not far away to live in.
The brothers have different personalities and different living habits.
What happened to Xie Fu last night only started to spread this morning.
At this moment, the owner of this small courtyard, Yun Fenghuang's elder brother Xie Xiliu, was furious, "Ninth Brother said earlier that you should be cautious in your words and deeds, the closer you are to Enke, the more you should not be careless, Eleventh Brother!"
"I really can't blame Brother Eleven for this matter." Although Xie's lintel is not high, his family has been passed down for more than ten generations, and he has always dominated the family and has his own rules.
Originally, the order of elder and younger among brothers is easily insurmountable.
Xie Xi was popular for thirteen years, after Xie Fu, it is really inappropriate to criticize Xie Fu in public like this.
However, the matter is serious now, and no one has time to worry about it. Xie Fu who was involved was embarrassed, touched his nose, and was about to explain, but the twenty-three Xie Tu, who was favored by Yun Fenghuang, spoke first, and gave his brother a little bit of relief. , "Brother Eleven was only invited to a friend's home to discuss schoolwork that day, so he brought me as a companion. After going, not long after, the 'friend' left temporarily with an excuse, following a young woman's expression He ran out in a hurry, saying that it was the concubine of that 'friend', a thief entered the house and knocked out the husband, she ran out to ask for help... such a situation, how can we think too much?"
"Why can't you think too much?!" Xie Heng, Xie Fu's brother Xie Tu, also just came, and heard the unbearable anger here, "I told you repeatedly before, eleven and twenty-one times If you have a part in the palace banquet, you will definitely be hated by everyone! It is already the end of the year, and the beginning of the new year is Enke, why are you not more vigilant now?!"
"Let's not say that this is a trap at all, even if it's not. What if the thieves really got in and hurt you so that Eleven couldn't end?! The so-called friend you met on the court of love and moon is worth ignoring for him My own future, dragging down the family and the seventeenth sister in the palace?!"
Xie Xiliu frowned, and asked: "It's said that Eleventh brother had a fight with someone in Xiaming Pavilion, and the incident happened. Why didn't Eleventh brother actually go to Xiaming Pavilion?"
Xie Fu sighed: "I think it's a good friend's house. Who knows that I entered through a side door of Xiaming Pavilion... I just came to the Imperial Capital after all. The Xiaming Pavilion is one of the best buildings in the Imperial Capital. It occupies a rather large area. The pavilions and pavilions were meandering, but I didn’t recognize them. Later, I wounded the ‘thief’, and a group of yamen servants swarmed in, only then did I know the trick.”
In this way, even though my family believed that he was framed, from outsiders' point of view, he was caught in Xiaming Pavilion, and the young woman who ran out to ask for help was the oiran, and she bit back on the spot. The so-called friend swore that he was indeed Asked Xie Fu to go out, but not to discuss homework, but to be the guest of the newly promoted oiran...
The evidence is almost ironclad.
For a moment the room was silent.
After a while, someone slowly said: "Since the person who was injured was the yamen of Yushitai, I'm afraid the matter has already reached the front of the imperial court."
"This...isn't it enough?" Xie Yanxiu was stunned, and hesitated, "After all, it is a matter on the Fengyue Field, how dare you bring it to His Majesty?"
Xie Heng and the older ones were not as naive as him, they looked at each other with seriousness in their eyes.
Xie's foundation is shallow, and it was only because of Yun Fenghuang that he was able to fall into Chunjia's eyes and get the opportunity of Shangzhu to ascend to heaven in one step.
If it's just Xie Fu's notoriety, and he missed the imperial examination and the son-in-law, although there are losses, it is not a big problem.
After all, the Xie family still has Xie Wuzheng and other children as candidates, right?
But if something goes wrong with Yun Fenghuang...
Then there will be big troubles!
"The most urgent thing is to get rid of the empress!" Xie Xiliu said in a deep voice without thinking too much, "The empress is safe, no matter what happens to us, there is always a glimmer of life! But if the empress is not well, we Xie family, In the eyes of those nobles, they are just like ants. The marriage of the empress back then was just..."
"Thirteenth brother be careful!" Xie Heng quickly reminded, "The marriage of the empress is decided by the clan, she has nothing to do with that person at all, and after retiring, it doesn't matter if the two families become enemies."
Xie Xiliu regained his composure, and said: "What brother Jiu said is true, but I was wrong. In short, the empress must not make mistakes!"
"I heard that His Majesty likes Seventeenth Sister very much... He likes Your Majesty very much. Your Majesty is now living in the palace. Your Majesty should understand that this matter has nothing to do with Your Majesty, right?" After talking to Xie Tu, they even forced everyone to stop calling Yun Fenghuang as sisters, and instead call them "Niang Niang".
This move seems to be alienating, but in fact, they are worried that Xie Yanxiu and his like are used to being loose in the north, and they are also the same in the imperial capital, which will bring trouble to Yun Fenghuang.
Therefore, the title "Niangniang" is used to remind them all the time that the present is different from the past, and the imperial capital is different from the north.
At this moment, Xie Tu was in a hurry, but almost called him the old address again. After changing his words, he said hopefully, "Maybe the empress can still help you in front of His Majesty..."
Xie Heng sighed, and interrupted: "You can't rely on your mother for everything, what use is there for us?"
Moreover, no matter how much Emperor Chunjia likes Yunfenghuang, there are no longer a few concubines in the palace, and the identities of the emperors and concubines are different. It is absolutely impossible to let Yunfenghuang be the master of the house like Qi Jiulu.
What's more, taking ten thousand steps back, even if Emperor Chunjia was fascinated by Yun Fenghuang at the moment, he would listen to his concubine everything. Isn't he himself the emperor who talks about Tianxian in the whole universe? Not to mention indulging Yun Fenghuang to sideline his brothers.
Xie Fu, no, if the Xie family wants to pass this test, they still have to figure it out on their own.
It's just that the other party had been prepared for this matter, and the witnesses and evidences were complete, but on Xie's side, he was unprepared, and even Xie Heng, who was in the lead, received the news after a night.
Now I want to turn the tables, but I can't start.
Just as they were discussing, someone from outside came to report that Mrs. Chen had come, saying that there was something urgent to tell.
Xiao Chen and Xie Xiliu are in the same family, they have always been well-balanced, knowing that the reunion of their brothers early in the morning is an important matter, so they would never come to disturb them.
So Xie Xiliu was taken aback when he heard the words, then got up: "I'll go out and have a look."
He only took two steps, but Mrs. Chen has already stepped in with her maid, and before her husband and uncles frowned, she said, "Just now, Qing Xu who was in front of your mother sent something to Meng'er, saying that she wanted to I'm sorry, I'll send a few words along the way, and let my concubine come to the main hall to tell the story immediately."
"Sister and brother, sit down quickly." Xie Heng listened, and subconsciously sat upright, "But I don't know what the mother is saying?"
"Qing Xu said, the empress said, she already knows about this matter, but it is not easy to do anything." Xiao Chen said solemnly, "What will happen to Mrs. Xie depends on the response of your husband and uncles. After all, Your Majesty To open Enke, to recruit a son-in-law, to choose useful people, not just to support the poor!"
Xie Heng and the others exchanged glances, their expressions became more serious, and they nodded: "Does your mother have any other orders?"
Xiao Chen shook her head: "That's all."
"Brother and sister have worked hard to pass on the message." Xie Heng hinted that she should leave. After Xiao Chen went out, he looked around and asked slowly, "What do you think?"
A group of people were thinking hard and didn't speak for a while.
It can't be blamed for their lack of quick wit, after all, the Xie family has been entrenched in the Northland for many years and is very unfamiliar with the Imperial Capital.
Now he was caught off guard again, the other party's connections and power status are still higher than them, if this can be clarified in a blink of an eye... These people can still force Chunjia to have to hide his strength and bide his time until the beginning of this year before seizing the opportunity to take charge of the government ?
"Brother Nine, people have already prepared for this matter. One is that the evidence is solid now, and it is difficult to refute it; the other is that even if they refute it, they have probably thought about all kinds of possibilities before they make a move. At that time, they may be brought into other places." Go to a pit." After a long while, the atmosphere in the hall became more and more stiff, Xie Heng subconsciously wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and was anxious, when he heard someone speak slowly, said calmly, "So, but being led by others The nose is gone!"
Xie Heng followed the prestige and saw that it was Xie Wuzheng who had always been taciturn. He was overjoyed and asked, "Could it be that the twenty-first brother has a plan?"
"It doesn't count." Xie Wuzheng shook his head slightly, and said, "I just think that the current matter is clearly aimed at damaging Brother Eleven's reputation, preventing him from ending up and competing for the Lord. Even, by the way, our preparations are messed up." The state of mind of the person who ends up in the end will also implicate the empress in the palace."
"Then, even if we can't find a suitable way to break the situation for the time being, we absolutely can't follow their arrangement!"
"Otherwise we are likely to be defeated."
Xie Heng and others muttered to themselves: "Follow their arrangement?"
What is the arrangement of the people behind the scenes?
I also know that 80% of them will be anxious, have a headache, and panic, and then what? Those who take the exam don't have much time to focus on their studies; those who don't have to end up are full of apprehension and anger.
In this way, whether the former can be on the list is a question; for the latter, I am afraid that there will be some accidents waiting to anger them, frame them, and let the Xie's children's reputation for being stubborn be confirmed once again.
"The one whose leg was broken is the son of an official family, but Brother Eleven has not been arrested by the yamen servants, and he can still sit here properly." Xie Wuzheng and others thought for a while, and continued, "From now on, I will It can be seen that the people behind the scenes have very big plans, and even hold the goal of killing us, Mrs. Xie, and even the empresses in the palace after making things big! Next, there must be follow-up twists and turns."
"Since that's the case, in my opinion, it's just a matter of tricks and muddying the water!"
Xie Wuzheng's fair and handsome face flashed a touch of ruthlessness, "My family background of Xie family is humble, the reason why I have the chance to be the lord, one is that the empress is in the palace, and the first is to get the moon near the water; Can monitor the North Army for the Son of Heaven."
"Brother Eleven was plotted against by others this time, all because of Shangzhu's affairs."
"Then why waste energy on clearing up the grievances of Brother Eleven?"
"It's better to go straight to the root and lead things in the direction the emperor wants to see."
"So, take it easy, Brother Eleven didn't actually do such a tyrannical thing, even if he did, so what?!"
"No one is perfect. Even though a sage thinks a lot, he will inevitably make a mistake. As a courtier, we can't be noble and noble. It's not a matter of importance. The key is whether we can understand the meaning and be the emperor. Sharing worries... Just now, the thirteenth sister-in-law sent a message, and the empress's advice is already very obvious, isn't it?"
The whole hall was silent for a moment, Xie Heng and the elders had bright eyes: "Please tell me more, brother twenty-one!"
