There is more and more evidence about Xu Xiang’s battle in Mingshui.
It is not only the battle of Mingshui, there are many kinds of crimes, everything is there, selling officials Jijue, appointing a private person, bullying the king, accepting bribes…
The change in the emperor’s attitude made Xu Dang sniff the wind, and North Korea, China, and the whole world were immersed in a tense atmosphere. Those who had thought that Xu Jingfu could be rescued soon will now realize that this is not a simple matter, or that this is no longer possible.
In Shi Jinbo’s Mansion, Xiaoyu stopped people from outside who wanted to come in and said with a smile: “Masters, please come back, the four sons are not in the mansion.”
“Where did Chu Zilan go?” One person was anxious and angry, and asked in a low voice: “If we don’t let us see the four sons of Chu, Xiangye will have no time!”
Xiao Zuo just said with a bitter face: “The adults ask the little ones, the young ones don’t know. The four sons haven’t returned home for a long time.
After seeing and asking for a long time, I couldn’t ask anything useful, but the visitor had to leave in a daze. After the group left, Xiaogu closed the door, returned to the courtyard, knocked on the door of the study, and walked in.
Chu Zhaozheng is reading at the table.
“Four sons, all the coming people have been sent back.” Xiao Du said.
Of course, Chu Zhao was in Shijinbo Mansion. In fact, these days, he has never been out of the mansion, so no one saw him.
“well done.”
“But the four sons…” The little man hesitated and asked, “Do you really want to think of a way?”
Chu Zhao raised his head to look at him, and Xiao Xiao’s face was white and for a while, he heard the humane in front of him: “You go out.”
The little man retreated with relief.
Chu Zhao’s eyes fell on the table again, and the duan inkstone on the table was given to him by Xu Jingfu. Since Xu Jingfu was imprisoned, someone from time to time wanted to find him to help Xu Jingfu out. After all, Xu Jingfu treated him like a son. It wouldn’t be long before he was Xu Jingfu’s son-in-law. force.
Chu Zhao’s eyes became distant.
Chu Zhao remembers the first time he saw Xu Jingfu.
He wasn’t very old at that time, just when he was bullied by Mrs. Chu and the three brother-in-laws. He looks good, Chu Linfeng likes to take him to socialize together, looks extremely shameful, but every time he comes back after socializing, waiting for him is countless more severe torture.
Chu Linfeng couldn’t see anything in the backyard. Even if I saw it, I just said a few words, it was impossible for him and Mrs. Chu to centrifuge.
One winter, Chu Linfeng had entertainment between his colleagues, thinking of bringing him. This time, as a guest at Xu Xiangfu, Chu Linfeng specifically ordered Mrs. Chu to pick up a good outfit for Chu Zhao, and must not lose his face.
Even as a guest at Xu Xiang’s house, Mrs. Chu did not dare to neglect, even though she was reluctant, she prepared a gorgeous dress for him.
Chu Linfeng was quite satisfied.
But Chu Zhao walked very hard.
Just because I don’t know whether it’s Mrs. Chu or which of his brother-in-laws, he actually nailed a few nails on the bottom of his boots, and he didn’t feel it at first. As the people moved, the nails were gradually stepped on and drilled into the boots. Finally Drilled into the soles of his feet.
But at that time, Chu Zhao and Chu Linfeng had reached Xu House.
It is very rude to take off boots in public, and Chu Linfeng has a good face, and does not give him the opportunity to speak at all, just like showing off a beautiful vase and a beautiful decoration, pulling him and saying, “This is mine Three sons, Chu Zhao.”
Chu Zhao had to endure the pain, and he accompanied Chu Linfeng to speak pale.
In the end, he almost couldn’t support it.
At the banquet, Chu Linfeng drank a few more drinks and spoke proudly with his colleagues, and finally did not pay attention to Chu Zhao for the time being. Chu Zhao wanted to find a secluded corner to take off his boots and pull out his nails. But Xu Xu, who was so big, didn’t know the way. He turned around and hit a man.
An older scribe in a long gown looked down at him.
Chu Zhao stunned and recognized it at a glance. This is the protagonist at today’s banquet. Chu Linfeng can’t wait for Xu Xiang, Xu Jingfu, to stoop up. It’s just that he has been with Chu Linfeng all the time, and Chu Linfeng didn’t even catch up with Xu Jingfu, thinking that he might not know himself.
“I’m… four sons in Shi Jinbo Mansion.” Chu Zhao said cautiously, “I… I’m lost.”
Xu Jingfu just looked at him with a smile, his gaze slightly, and suddenly asked: “What’s wrong with your legs?”
Chu Zhao subconsciously hid his feet behind him.
Xu Jingfu looked around and summoned his servants, saying, “Bring the four sons of Chu into the room.”
Chu Zhao hurriedly waved his hand: “No need, I…”
“Your leg, you will be lame if you go on.” Xu Jingfu shook his head and smiled: “I let you tell your father, don’t worry.”
Chu Zhao was carried into the room by Xu Fu’s servants. Not only that, they also took off his boots. When the boots were taken off, everyone in the room took a breath. Almost all of the nails had submerged in his feet, and the bleeding was sticking to the white socks. It was miserable to look at it.
Xu Xiang frowned, saying, “Call the doctor in the house.”
There is a doctor in Xufu who is capable of medical treatment. After being called, he took out the nail in Chu Zhao’s feet and replied: “Young man, you can’t bear it too much. The nail didn’t go in and it hurts. Can’t bear to say nothing now? Hey, after going back, you won’t go to the ground for a few days, take a good rest.”
Chu Zhao’s lips didn’t speak. Although he was the four sons of the Chu family, he lived the same as his servants. He had to work every day. How could he stay in bed.
Xu Jingfu waved his hand and told them to go down.
He got up and walked to the other side, as if asking casually, “What’s your name?”
“Chu Zhao, Zi Zilan.” He answered restrainedly and cautiously.
“Good name.” Xu Jingfu smiled and put a new pair of boots in front of him. “This was originally intended by my wife for my students. Your boots can’t be worn. This pair should be able to be worn.”
Chu Zhao hugged the boots in his arms. Xu was very warm in front of the stove, the cloth boots were warm and roasted, he said: “Thank you Master Xu.”
Xu Jingfu looked at him. The clothes Mrs. Chu gave him were indeed gorgeous and exquisite. They were only in the winter and winter. There was no cotton in the thin brocade. It looked good but not practical. He walked outside once, his long-frozen face was pale, his hands and feet were cold.
“There are three older brothers in your house?” Xu Jingfu asked with a smile.
Chu Zhao stiffened slightly: “It is.”
Xu Jingfu looked at him thoughtfully: “I never saw your father bring them out.”
Chu Linfeng had a good face. He always felt that he was a beautiful man in the Wei Dynasty, but his three sons-in-law were born like mothers, and they looked mediocre. He was afraid to be laughed at by others. Chu Zhao bowed his head and said nothing.
Xu Jingfu asked: “Has the book been readable?”
“Read a little.” He answered softly.
“Oh?” Xu Jingfu was a little surprised. Probably thinking that Mrs. Chu would actually let Chu Linfeng read books outside the room, something incredible. Chu Zhao thought for a while and whispered: “I used to learn a little bit from my mother. After returning to the house, I secretly hid some books in the house.”
Xu Jingfu loved Caicai, looking at the extraordinarily beautiful child in front of him, and said with a smile: “Since this is the case, come to me to study in the future.”
Chu Zhao stunned, raised his head subconsciously, and whispered his lips: “I…”
“I have a lot of students, but they are all older, and I haven’t closed the door for many years,” the scribes were gentle, like loving elders. “I am old, and I don’t know how many years I can teach you, If you are willing to follow me, just call me a teacher.”
teacher……
Master, preaching is confusing by karma. Unfortunately, in the past years, no one has taught him what he should do and why, and the person in front of him is the prime minister of the great Wei Quan.
He buried his head, disregarding the wound he had just bandaged, and fell to the ground. He gave Xu Jingfu a respectful kowtow and called out, “Teacher.”
He was sent back by Xu Jingfu’s carriage, and he came back with him, as well as Xu’s servants, a thick cotton coat, and brand new boots on his feet.
Chu Linfeng was shocked when he learned about it, and he quickly apologized to Xu Jingfu, but Xu Jingfu said he didn’t have to worry about it. After Chu Linfeng returned to his home, for the first time, there was a real quarrel with Mrs. Chu for the matter of Chu Zhao. Their quarreling sound fell in Chu Zhao’s ear outside the courtyard window.
“That’s Xu Xiang! In the future, Zi Lan will be Xu Xiang’s student. Xu Xiang’s move, don’t you see it, don’t bully Zi Lan in the future!”
“Who bullied him? If I really bullied him, how could he be Xu Xiang’s disciple. It’s all your bias, otherwise why is he, not my child!”
“Who made them not dissatisfied? Xu Xiang just likes Zi Lan. You can do it for yourself. Don’t be embarrassing!”
Quarrels filled his ears, and Chu Zhao looked down at the cloth boots on his feet. The boots fit well and the soles are very soft. It seems that even the pain of nails piercing into the flesh and blood is also touched by this softness. Do it all.
After that, he became a student of Xu Jingfu.
Xu Jingfu treated him really well, and he did not want to give up this opportunity to study hard. Everyone said that he was talented and young, and he didn’t know how many nights to pick up the lights and read at night, in order to be casual and humble in front of people.
The friendship between teachers and students is not unprecedented.
The light from the oil lamp on the table cast a shadow on the wall. He looked at it for a while and stood up.
“Come here.”
The little man entered the door and said, “What did the four sons tell you?”
“Bai Ma,” he looked forward, “to the Prince’s mansion.”
…
In the empty dormitory, Emperor Wenxuan leaned against the sag and bowed his head to the woman’s hand to drink the boiled ginseng soup.
Since the case of Xu Jingfu, the emperor was very angry and his body was getting worse. He was also old, but he just couldn’t see the daily leisure in the past. He turned towards the middle of the world. Things piled up and hit him, but in just ten days, he looked old. Health.
After drinking a bowl of ginseng soup, Princess Lan asked her maid to pick up the empty bowl and said softly, “Your Majesty, get better soon.”
“What’s the point of getting better,” Emperor Wen Xuan smiled bitterly, “I’m afraid that I can’t wait outside soon…”
A finger pressed against his lips, blocking what he was going to say next, and Princess Lan shook her head in disapproval: “Your Majesty, this can’t be said casually.”
Emperor Wen Xuan looked at the woman in front of her. Although she said this, her expression was still gentle. She was not as frightened and angry as other palace concubines, and she would not be reprimanded with embarrassment like that of Queen Zhang. Concubine Lan is not the most beautiful one in the entire harem, but he has spoiled the woman in front of him for so many years because he can be himself in front of Concubine Lan.
Instead of being an emperor.
Emperor Wen Xuan thought that he might be the only one who thought he was very tired to be an emperor.
After he became ill, Queen Zhang came only once. Emperor Wen Xuan knew that Queen Zhang’s mother’s family was very close to Xu Jingfu. Now that Xu Jingfu has an accident, Queen Zhang’s mother’s family dare not openly plead with Xu Jingfu, and the harem is incapable of politics, so she should be very busy this time.
Emperor Wen Xuan didn’t have the mind to manage these things, opened his eyes and closed his eyes, only because he could feel that his time might be running out.
It’s strange that before Xu Jingfu’s case happened, he still thought that he was still energetic and could live longer than his father’s. However, as soon as Xu Jingfu’s case came out, he knew that he was really old, too old to live. In the next winter day.
So in his opinion, there is another important thing.
“Since I took the throne, Xu Jingfu has worked for many years,” he said slowly. “I treat him with tolerance, knowing that he has selfishness, but he hasn’t pursued it. But now, he has failed my trust. He even passed the enemy. Treason…”
“Xiao Zhongwu is dead. I have heard Xu Jingfu’s words over the years. There are few military generals available in the Wei Dynasty today. That Feihong General He Rufei is still a fake. Virtue, if I put this position in his hands,” Emperor Wen Xuan smiled bitterly, “He is not as good as me. Although I am indecisive, in the end it is also a beloved thing, he… what!”
The last sentence is both disappointing and angry.
If Guangshuo is the prince, how good it should be.
Then he might have given this chair to Guangshuo early.
Although the emperor was mediocre, he was not particularly stupid. He knew that his eldest son had no talents and virtue. After so many years, he refused to write an edict, because he had contradictions in his heart. On the one hand, he knew very well that it was a disaster for Da Wei to sit in this position. On the other hand, Da Wei has never had a king abandon and grow up young. He did not seek merit in his life, but he never wanted to be the “first person” and was afraid to take on this responsibility. Endure and endure, and finally got things to this irreparable point.
“Lan’er,” he looked at Princess Lan, “I regret it and didn’t make a decision earlier.”
But now, no matter what he does, he will set off huge waves up and down the center, bleeding more blood and dying more people. And Guangyan and Guangshuo, no matter who he prefers, are his sons, which is beyond doubt.
Concubine Lan gently held his hand and only said: “No matter what decision your majesty makes, the concubine understands the pain of his majesty.”
Emperor Wen Xuan looked at her: “In this palace, only you are my close friend.”
…
When Guilan Lan returned to Qinglan Palace, Guangshuo was already waiting for her in the hall.
Seeing her coming back, Guangshuo stood up, “Mother.”
Concubine Lan asked him to sit down and asked, “Why are you free with me? Don’t go to Dali Temple?”
Now that Xu Xiang’s case is up to now, if nothing else happens, the overall situation should be settled. The evidence in the hands of Xiao Huaijin was thrown out one by one. Officials who had been suppressed by the Xu Party in the past also took the opportunity to busy, and the tree fell unscathed, which has been the case since ancient times.
Of course, Guangshuo’s contribution is indispensable.
“Children had already been there today.” Guangshuo thought about it. “These days, the children are contributing to Xu Xiang’s case. However, when he saw Governor Du Xiao in the palace, he did not show any intimacy. .”
He did not understand whether Xiao Huaijin had accepted his feelings.
Concubine Lan smiled: “He ignored you, that’s right.”
“Mother Concubine means…”
“You are concerned about Xu Jingfu’s case, originally because the great prince Wei was concerned about the incident, if you walked too close to him, it was too deliberate.”
“Children don’t know,” Guangshuo’s eyes flashed with anxiety, “But the prince’s side will certainly not be willing to give up, the father emperor is in a bad shape now, the child minister heard that there is a history of the emperor’s emperor, and he set up the prince as soon as possible… …Mother Concubine, you know the character of the father and emperor,” Guangshuo laughed self-deprecatingly, “If nothing else, the prince will definitely be the crown prince. As the mother concubine said, once the prince ascends to the throne, let alone a child With the concubine, I am afraid that even my fifth brother will not survive.”
“And…” His eyes were full of worries, “The Uto people are unclear at the moment and may attack Da Wei at any time. At that time, if the prince is on the throne, does the concubine think that the prince will make the Uto people resist Is it? Even if it is to pull down Xiao Huaijin, he will not say a word of “war”.”
Lan Guifei waited quietly for him to finish.
Guangshuo looked at the woman: “The mother concubine feels that the children are wrong?”
“You’re right,” Princess Lan Lan smiled. “When I saw your father emperor today, your father emperor had already revealed the intention to pass the edict.”
Guangshuo moved in his heart and asked excitedly: “Exactly…”
“Actually, it doesn’t matter who your father and emperor decide to pass the throne to,” Lan Guifei said: “In this world, a decree sometimes can’t decide anything. Guangshuo, people’s hearts are more important than power, you have never been fair and just Participating in the event, hidden behind the prince, this is your weakness and your strength.”
“You’re anxious now, I’m afraid Guangyan’s heart is more anxious than you, and there are those Uto people… Xiao Huaijin would like to be close to you and support you, now it makes no sense to say this. If he doesn’t have the heart to fight for power and profit, he Sooner or later you will be yours.”
Guang Shuo asked: “Because the prince?”
“Yes.” There was a trace of pity in Guilan Lan’s eyes. “Guangyan is so tyrannical. People like Xiao Huaijin will not want to drive him.”
“Da Wei, there is no one.”
