    "What kind of conspiracy and tricks? How can I not understand what Mr. Xie said?" The prince turned the fan in his hand and pointed to the chair placed next to him: "Thousands of mountains and rivers are love, loneliness always respects Old and young, sit down and talk."

    Before Xie Yaoye could answer, someone pulled him into a chair and sat down. Faced with Xie Shizi's disbelief and painful eyes, he uncomfortably looked away.

    "Uncle, why?" Xie Shizi was very well protected by Princess Leyang since he was a child, and developed a kind and charming character. He could not accept the upright uncle of the day, and suddenly became a greedy ambitious, just as he could not. Accepting that the second sister poisoned the eldest sister, and assassinating the prince.

    The good life was suddenly torn apart a huge crack by the people around him. Behind the crack were the filthy ambitions and sex of relatives.

    He didn't understand that the Xie family was a well-known scholarly family in the south. Their family had no shortage of food, clothing, or reading, and even their mother was the eldest princess who was named by the emperor's uncle. What was the point of doing this?

    Xie Yaoye avoided Xie Shizi's eyes and said nothing.

    "Because human greed is infinite, greed will make people lose their nature and become a monster dominated by wild aspirations." The prince looked at Xie Yaoye: "Your Xie family has inherited six or seven generations, and your ancestors have a name in history. Great writers, you descendants, really..."

    He shook his head and sighed, "I don't know if Xie Jiazu knows about it, will he crawl out of the ground so angry?"

    "There are tens of thousands of scholars in the world. How many people can really stay in the history?" Hearing the crown prince mentioned the glory of the ancestors, Xie Yaoye seemed to be stimulated: "We thank each descendant of the family, and start reading since they can walk. Chinese characters, but no matter how hard we try, the world always mentions the ancestors who were once famous all over the world."

    "So you have a crooked mind, and want to use the opportunity of revising the Dajin etiquette to make the Xie family famous again?" The smile on the prince's face faded: "For these false names, you would rather collude with other countries and raise the family privately. Soldier dead?"

    After the deeds were revealed, Xie Yaoye no longer made senseless struggles. He expressionlessly said: "His Royal Highness is the prince, the father of the sage, and the brothers who have performed well. When you become the emperor, you will Understand what it's like."

    Where is the outstanding brother?

    The prince raised his eyebrows. Does he have a brother he hasn't seen before?

    "But what's the use of these false names!" Xie Shizi was emotionally broken: "Why can't you live a good life? Whether you bring these things with you when you die, isn't it important to live well?"

    "Naive!" Xie Yaoye sneered: "Han Chuang has been studying hard for so many years. Doesn't the picture show the name of Qingshi, which will be admired by future generations?"

    Xie Shizi's eyes were red: "But the things you proposed can really make future generations look up to you?"

    "People's hearts will change." Xie Yaoye said unwillingly: "As long as your Majesty is willing to support the etiquette reform proposed by our Xie family, even if someone opposes it for a while, who will complain a hundred years later? All they can remember is us. The Xie family’s contribution to these."

    In Xie Shizi's memory, although Uncle Yao was serious about his younger generations, he was a pure and noble person who did not value foreign objects. Looking at the endless ambition on his face at this moment, Xie Shizi suddenly realized that everything around him was false.

    When the prince brought him over, he always prayed in his heart that there would be no thanking family members, and certainly no thanking family members would come.

    But at the moment the door was pushed open, he was disappointed.

    The prince was right, the Xie family had been swallowed by the **, all the nobility and elegance were just the skin outside the **.

    He looked at Xie Yaoye and suddenly lost the strength to speak. He stood up desperately and walked out with one foot and one shallow.

    "Xie Shizi." The shopkeeper waiting outside saw him come out and smiled: "Are you going to leave?"

    "I want to see my sister, can't you?" Even though he was born naive, he guessed that these things could not be done by Xie Yaoye alone, and his father might also be involved.

    No wonder his mother would send him to the empress dowager and ask him to stay in the palace to read and write, because he was worried that his deeds would be revealed and he would be implicated.

    "Of course you can." The shopkeeper smiled: "There will be Jin Jiawei who will take you to Dali Temple Tianja. Please wait a moment."

    Xie Shizi thought the other party would refuse, but he did not expect to agree so easily: "Thank you."

    After knowing all the truth, Xie Shizi was a little confused. He didn't know who he should face. His parents may have done something wrong, but they have always treated him like treasures. But if he ignores their behavior, he can't get past the conscience hurdle.

    He didn't want to see his parents, nor did he want to go into the palace to meet those classmates in the royal school. The only thing he could see was his sister in the Tianjao of Dali Temple.

    After Xie Shizi left, Xie Yaoye showed all the sharp emotions: "The prince has planned for a long time for today, right?"

    "I'm Taigong Jiang fishing. I wish you would take the bait." The prince adjusted himself to a comfortable sitting position, and took a piece of grapes brought by the attendant eunuch: "If you thank the family, what if you don't have any other thoughts. Will fall into this trap?"

    "Since you entered the door, Gu gave you three opportunities. As long as you turn around and leave, Gu will not hold you accountable." The prince spit out the grape pits into the bowl: "Unfortunately you insisted on opening this door."

    "Doesn't the old man want to thank the prince for his magnanimity?" Xie Yaoye sneered: "The prisoner who claims to be the demon concubine faction from his ancestors, is it the one you sent?"

    The prince smiled without saying a word.

    "A dignified prince of a country, in order to get rid of his opponent, he used this method. If it is spread out, he is not afraid to laugh out the big teeth of the world?"

    "So you can rest assured that Gu will not let this matter spread out." The prince was smartly playing with the fan in his hand: "Gu is a prince who covers the sky with one hand and is favored by his father. You don't need to consider this kind of problem for Gu."

    Xie Yaoye had a flower in front of him. He was angry with the prince. He shook his hand and pointed at the prince: "You..."

    "Compared with the mere infamy, Gu cares more about when you, the beasts in clothing, will be able to catch them." The crown prince sneered: "If it is beneficial to the people of the world, what is the importance of the reputation of Gu?"

    Xie Yaoye was horrified. He suddenly remembered that in the rumors about the prince, the officials who were rudely targeted by the prince were eventually found to have serious problems, ranging from bullying to men and women to the common people. He was in the south, thinking this was just a means by Emperor Changlong to protect the prince.

    But, what if the charges of those officials are true?

    When the case is slowly clarified, don’t know how many innocent people will be involved. The prince takes the lead and finds reasons to put these officials in prison, and then wipe out their dark forces...

    At the time of their Xie family, aren't they the criminals who "accidentally" offended the prince, and were finally found out of the crime?

    Wanting to understand this, Xie Yaoye was shrouded in chill. Ji Yuansu is a cruel person at all. Those rumors about him acting arrogantly and defiantly make people subconsciously ignore his scheming and methods.

    Yes, yes.

    A prince who can make Emperor Changlong value so much, no matter what he does, the crown prince is stable, how could he be a brainless person.

    Xie Yaoye realized that the Xie family thought they were smart, but actually fell into the Ji family's trap a long time ago.

    The first emperor died unclearly. After Emperor Changlong ascended the throne, he held the government firmly in the palm of his hand, while appeasing the civil servants, while reusing generals, keeping the great Jin Jiangshan like a barrel.

    Hua Yingting made great achievements in shaking the world, which should have attracted the suspicion of civil servants, but his son turned around to participate in the imperial examination, and even won the top prize in one fell swoop. The general's Yaozi's move to abandon the military and follow the text, which greatly satisfied the vanity of the literati.

    In this way, even the crisis of confrontation between the original text and the military was quietly overcome.

    These seemingly coincidental events are linked together to make the imperial court and the country more stable.

    Emperor Changlong asked the prince to marry the daughter of the Hua family. He was neither suspicious of the Hua family nor the prince. Instead, he used a kind of euphemism to hand over the military power of Dajin to the prince.

    The world thought that the prince was absurd and Emperor Changlong was partial. In fact, it is them who are stupid.

    The whole family was deceived by the father and son and the Hua family.

    Wanting to understand this, Xie Yaoye smiled sullenly: "My business has nothing to do with the Xie family. There is no proof. You can't attack the Xie family."

    "Mr. Xie, do you think the imperial commissioner left Beijing for a few days late and gave the Xie family a chance to conceal the evidence?" The prince took out a thick stack of paper from the sleeve cage: "You thank the family for hiding weapons and buying at low prices. The evidence of farmers’ good land and stealing mines is all in the hands of lonely ones. Thank you family... it’s over."

    "You can't do this!" Xie Yaoye said anxiously, "Du Songwen is dead, and the Du family has no successor. You are going to eradicate our Xie family again. Are you not afraid that scholars in the world say that the royal family deliberately suppressed scholars?"

    "The imperial court even opened Enke, so how could it suppress scholars?" The prince sneered, "Without your thank you, there might be Zhang, Chen, Wang, and Li families. There are so many scholars with justice in the world, as long as the common people If you like them, love them, what do you think of thanking them?"

    "What's more, who said that there is no successor in the Du family." The prince put his hand behind him: "Du Songwen's granddaughter is a talented and intelligent person who reads a lot of books and is a rare and well-educated scholar. She will soon go to Qinghe Academy to serve as the head of the mountain."

    Qinghe Academy is one of the best academies in Jin Country. The history of this college is longer than that of Jin Country, and it has taught countless capable ministers and good officials.

    "She is a woman." Xie Yaoye sneered: "Do you want a woman to support the Du family's century-old reputation?"

    "Before the matter has no results, don't judge whether a person can or not." The prince lifted his chin slightly and smiled very disgustingly: "Anyway, you can't thank you family."

    Xie Shizi and Jin Jiawei came to the Tianchao of Dali Temple and saw Xie Yao, who was described as haggard. He leaned over the fence excitedly: "Second sister, how are you?"

    Xie Yao's attitude was very cold. She looked at Xie Shizi, who was dressed in brocade, and suddenly smiled: "You haven't left the capital?"

    "Father and mother... are still in the princess mansion." Xie Shizi didn't want to tell Xie Yao the status quo at home: "How about you, are you suffering in prison?"

    "What do you mean?" Xie Yao spreads out her hands, all of which are blood blisters left over from her work: "Did you and mother help me intercede?"

    Xie Shizi looked at these rough hands, his eyes flickering and could not speak.

    "Don't pretend, I know you don't want to save me at all. Not only do you don't want to save me, but you also want to send a killer to take my life." Xie Yao sneered: "You want to leave me and fly high, there is no door!"

    "Second sister, what are you talking about?" Xie Shizi was surprised.

    "Have my father and mother been under house arrest?" Seeing Xie Shizi's face changed, Xie Yao knew that she had guessed it: "We are a family. How can we fly separately when a disaster is approaching?"

    Xie Shizi's face was pale, he looked at Xie Yao who was savage and couldn't say a word.

    "My good brother, why are you raised so stupid?" Xie Yao laughed out loud: "You may not know that after I was imprisoned in Dali Temple, my father didn't think about saving me, he wanted to kill I said nothing. It's a pity that I shouldn't be dead. My father is probably disappointed."

    "I heard that my father has hysteria?" Xie Yao smiled mysteriously: "My good brother, why don't you go back and observe carefully, is your father's hysteria true or false?"

    Xie Shizi's brain buzzed, and he felt that these people around him were terrible. Father is not father, son is not son, everything is like a nightmare.

    He must be dreaming.

    definitely is.

    Pei Jihuai and Hua Changkong took Dali Temple masters and ordinary guards disguised as Jin Jiawei, and rushed to Changyao Prefecture.

    The Xie family and the local prefect received them warmly, and the gold, silver and jewellery were sent to them without any money.

    Pei Jihuai looked at a box of gems coldly, and the prefect of Changyao Prefecture's eyes were full of killing intent. The ancestor of Changyao Prefecture's prefect is not prominent. With his salary and ancestral wealth, it is impossible to come up with so many gold and silver treasures.

    "Wang Taishou is polite, how is this embarrassing?" Hua Changkong squinted and bent over to pick up a gold ingot, and after a few glances, he put it back in place.

    "It's all about waiting for the lower officials." Seeing Pei Jihuai's face, Wang Taishou was still a little worried, and even considered whether to secretly make a trick and let the two imperial envoys die by the knife.

    But seeing the greed in Hua Changkong's eyes, he settled down. Hua Changkong is the elder brother of the future princess, as long as he pleases him, all the troubles can be solved.

    After some false resignation, Hua Changkong reluctantly accepted these jewels: "Wang Taishou is warm and hospitable, the official likes your outrageous friend the most. When you are transferred to the capital, the official will definitely invite you to drink a few more glasses."

    Transferred to the capital?

    Wang Taishou's eyes became scorching: "Being friends with Master Hua is a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes.

    The two pushed their hearts together, and Wang Taishou took out a stack of silver bills and put them in Hua Changkong's hands.

    Hua Changkong's complexion was more gentle: "Wang Taishou has not been in the capital for a long time. I probably don't know how difficult it is for the lack of fat in the capital. But we have such a good relationship, no matter how difficult things are, it is not a problem." He lowered his voice and whispered in Wang Taishou's ear. : "My sister, I will marry to Eastern Palace in two months. What can't be done?"

    "Yes, yes." If he can catch the way of the prince's brother, why should he carefully hold the people of the Xie family? He flattered Hua Changkong before leaving the courtyard where the imperial commissioner lived with a smile.

    Outside the courtyard were people from the Taishou Mansion. Pei Jihuai walked to Hua Changkong and asked in a low voice, "What do you mean?"

    "Take advantage." Hua Changkong put the bank note into his sleeve very naturally, and reached out to pat Pei Jihuai's shoulder: "Don't worry, Master Pei, this officer will not ruin your good deeds."

    In the next few days, people from the Prefect's Mansion took them to see the granary and farmland. Pei Jihuai noticed that there was something tricky inside, and was about to ask a few more questions, but was interrupted by Hua Changkong.

    "Well, well, Wang Taishou is indeed a good official who loves the people like a child." Hua Changkong boasted: "When the official returns to Beijing, he must tell his majesty the rich scene of Changyao Prefecture."

    "Thank you, Mrs. Hua, for your good words." Wang Taishou looked at Pei Jihuai's words. Although this Pei Jihuai was a commissioner, he didn't even have the courage to say anything in front of Hua Changkong.

    It can be seen how high the status of Hua Changkong is in His Majesty's heart.

    It's not the same to have a good father, a good mother, and a good sister, who can be so beautiful at a young age. Discovering that this man is not only good at gold and silver, but also likes to go to music workshops, taverns and other places, Wang Taishou gradually relaxed his vigilance. When the two imperial envoys left the day, he enthusiastically sent them to horses and gave them gifts. A lot of earthenware.

    "Master Pei, Master Hua, have a good journey, the lower officials are here waiting for Master Hua's good letter."

    "Wang Taishou is at home and waiting for the good news from the official." Hua Changkong smiled: "If the journey goes smoothly, you can still go to Beijing to attend the wedding of her sister."

    When Wang Taishou heard the words, he quickly took out a thick stack of silver bills and put them in Hua Changkong's hands: "I don't know what the princess likes, this is a little bit of the official's intention, please convey it to Master Hua."

    "It's easy to say, easy to talk." Hua Changkong stuffed the silver ticket into his chest, his chest was bulging, very greedy.

    Pei Jihuai stared at the jingling gold, silver and jade ornaments all over his body, afraid of flashing his eyes, and silently moved his eyes away.

    After leaving the boundary of Changyao Prefecture, Hua Changkong took off the jingle accessories on his body, and took out a fan: "I'm exhausted."

    Pei Jihuai arched his hands towards him: "I wonder what Master Hua has gained?"

    "I also handed in a few servants who were willing to serve the officials as cows and horses." Hua Changkong waved the fan and screamed: "It is a coincidence that these people have been persecuted by the Xie family and the Wang Taishou. , You say magic is not magic?"

    Pei Jihuai: "..."

    He does not receive the benefits of the Wang Taishou and Xie's family every day, or he goes to the Yuefu restaurant and tea house to play. Where can he find these people?

    "No way, people are brought back, the official can't ignore it." Hua Changkong sighed: "After returning to Beijing, these people will be handed over to Master Pei to bring back to Dali Temple. The official is just a Hanlin who is just like the court, what If you don't understand anything, you have to rely on Master Pei to take care of it."

    Pei Jihuai was on Hua Changkong, as if he saw the shadow of the Fushou princess who claimed to be weak but could stun Xie Yao.

    The author has something to say: Hua Changkong: Disrespectful and disrespectful, the official has no abilities, just nepotism, just laughed.
