Chapter 267 How do rumors come about

The dark room was very moving, and the people guarding outside were also very uneasy. Although Grand Secretary Xie’s screams were loud, they could not hide all the sounds. What made them most worried was the exclamation of Zhengde from time to time.

Later, Grand Secretary Xie stopped calling, but from high to low, there was a gradual process, with a vein to follow, and everyone outlined the scene at that time in their minds, Grand Secretary Xie had no strength to call.

But the emperor was different. His screams suddenly disappeared. At the beginning, he screamed loudly, and suddenly there was no sound. This made people confused. If everyone hadn't been convinced that Xie Hong could not murder Zhengde, and Zhengde had also strictly ordered everyone not to enter, they would have rushed in without restraint.

In addition, after His Highness Yongfu and Lord Xie entered, there was no sound at all, which was surprising. It was okay for Lord Xie. This house was built by him, so he naturally knew the mystery inside. However, when His Highness Yongfu didn't speak, it was a bit strange.

Now there are many people waiting around the dark room to watch. In addition to Zhengde and Yongfu's entourage, as well as staff such as Qian Ning, there are many unrelated people. They are all attracted by the screams of Grand Secretary Xie. After all, this is the imperial city, and it is really hard to calm down when suddenly making such noises.

Although the rules of the imperial city are great, in such extraordinary times, many people still whisper to each other, and everyone is very curious about what happened inside.

Not to mention that he was ignorant of what Qian Ning had experienced once, he was confused about what happened. Judging from the current process, except for the two surnames Xie, the other two people did not react normally.

Therefore, everyone's eyes were focused on this weird building called the small black house, especially the door, which attracted the attention of most people. After all, from the outside, this building only has this portal.

"Yaah..." At this moment, the small black room finally had a movement, it was the sound of the door opening! However, to everyone's surprise, the place where the sound was made was not the main door. When everyone followed the sound and searched, they were stunned to find that it was a small door that had been opened on the side of the small black room, and someone was walking out of it.

"Long live the emperor!" Gu Daong and others were all ecstatic and hurriedly met.

"Long live, are you okay? Are you holding... Grand Secretary Xie?" When we got closer, everyone found something was wrong. Zhengde was half-dragging in his hand, and he was carrying someone. He waited carefully. Park Zi was wearing a crane and wearing a black veil on his head. Who else was there if it wasn't Grand Secretary Xie?

Gu Dayong and others had known it for a long time, but later people didn't know it. However, everyone was staring at Xie Qian in a daze, because the image of Grand Secretary Xie was really a bit...

The old man's eyes were dissipated, his face was pale, his clothes were disheveled, his hair was messy, and his face was full of tears. He was completely inferior to the grandfather of the Grand Secretary in the past, but he was somewhat similar to those young women who were molested...

Thinking of the screams of Grand Secretary Xie's hoarseness just now, let alone those who came later, even Gu Dayong and others were in a state of mind, especially the emperor really made Grand Secretary Xie... what?

It's not true. Although the emperor is not very interested in women, it is probably because he is young and playful, and he hasn't taken it into consideration. He shouldn't really like that...

However, when people remembered some rumors about the legends of the foreign court, they were not sure. There were many people in the foreign court saying that the emperor and Lord Xie had a relationship. However, even if the emperor really had that kind of preference, the emperor's aesthetic standards should be seen from Lord Xie. Although both of them were surnamed Xie, the difference in appearance between the two people was really a bit big.

"What are you doing when you stand there? You can come and help? Grand Secretary Xie is so heavy. He can crush someone to death. I am so tired." Zhengde was really tired. When he was halfway through, Xie Qian's legs and feet were already weak, and in the end he was completely limp. In the end, Zhengde not only had to look around, but also had to hold an old man in his hand. How could he not be tired?

It was so heavy? I was crushed to death. The people who had just taken Xie Qian were stunned again. Gu Dayong slowed down his hand and almost dropped Xie Qian on the ground.

"Your Majesty... This kind of evil way is not done by the Holy Lord... The sun is bright! Old minister, old minister..."

After finally seeing the light of day again, Xie Qian also recovered a little. Thinking of the thrilling moment in the small dark room just now, the old man was very angry and reluctant to cheer up, thinking of admonition again. However, he was too frightened and could not do anything. After only a few words, he couldn't continue to say it, but two lines of turbid tears flowed out of the corners of his eyes, which was very unwilling to accept it.

Hiss! Gu Dayong, whether it was waiting for the nearby servants or the onlookers, all gasped after hearing this. It was a crooked way, and the unwillingness of Grand Secretary Xie... Grand Secretary Xie was really tortured by the emperor! I think so, Grand Secretary Xie is almost 60 years old, so where can I deal with the lively Long Live Master?

"Great use, arrange a few people to send Grand Secretary Xie back home. Grand Secretary Xie, you must raise him well. I am waiting for you to come back here in Xiyuan."

In the court, if Zhengde has the most resentment towards whom Zhengde is, it is really Xie Qian. Most court officials, such as Korean, vote against Zhengde when he put forward his opinions. As long as Zhengde does not put forward opinions, these people are still relatively quiet.

But Xie Shanghuan is different. He has a high status and good eloquence. He keeps holding Zhengde all day long. If he doesn't chant in Zhengde for an hour or two, he will feel uncomfortable all over.

Therefore, Zhengde hated and feared Xie Qian. When he was in Xuanfu that day, when he heard that Xie Qian was coming to welcome the emperor, he even had the idea of ​​continuing to escape, which shows his feelings for Xie Qian.

What's more, Xie Qian has been entangled in recent times more than before; today he pretended to be sick and did not attend court, and then gave Zhengde a waiter. With Zhengde's revenge personality, how could he feel less resentment?

Now that he saw Xie Qian's dying look, Zhengde was not sympathetic at all and was full of joy. That's right? Judging from Xie Qian's appearance, he might not be able to get up for a while. When he gets up, Xiyuan should be almost built. He dares to come here to block me then?

Therefore, when he said this just now, most of them were gloating, and Xiaoban was not without provocation: Xiyuan is very scary, if you dare to come, I will dare to deal with you!

Others didn't know Zhengde's thoughts, and when they heard this, they were amazed in their hearts. It turned out that's what... The emperor is so cruel. Grand Secretary Xie is so old, he refused to let go, and he said he would wait for someone to come again. Seeing Grand Secretary Xie's appearance now, it would be strange if he dares to come?

No matter what thoughts happened in his mind, since the emperor gave the order, Gu Dayong did not dare to neglect. He quickly called out a few strong eunuchs, and asked someone to carry a soft carriage and lift Xie Qian up.

"Your Majesty... Old Minister..." He was disgraced and was ridiculed and provoked by Zhengde. Xie Qian was naturally unwilling to accept it. Before being carried onto the soft carriage, the old man struggled again, but in the end he was unable to recreate his former heroic posture.

Of course, after being frightened like this, if he hadn't been in good health and had no hidden diseases such as heart disease, it would have been unknown, so how could he have died?

You should know that even the ghost houses in later generations will generally not allow people who are too old or in poor health to enter, let alone in the Ming Dynasty? It was also a ghost house carefully designed by Xie Hong, a person whose skills are proportional to bad intentions. The things inside are so vivid and realistic...

With a lot of resentment and reluctance, Xie Qian covered his face and was carried away by someone, leaving behind a sigh of relief from everyone.

Of course, as the winner of the adventure, Zhu Houzhao was very happy. He turned around and didn't see Xie Hong, so he asked, "Where is the eldest brother?"

Gu Daye pointed at the dark room and replied, "Mr. Xie has also gone in, and there are also people with him..."

"That's it? By the way, I have something to discuss with my elder brother. I'll go in and find him. You can wait outside." Zhengde only heard a half sentence, then slapped his head, as if he had remembered something, and then turned around and rushed into the small dark room again.

"Long live, Your Highness Yongfu is also inside..." Gu Dayong couldn't summon him, so he could only do nothing.

If Zhengde said that if he had something to discuss with Xie Hong, no one here would believe it. With the character of Long Live, he probably didn't get enough of it just now. He wanted to play it again, right? Who doesn't know?

I heard that Mr. Xie has designed a lot of tricks for brothels, and everyone who has been there is a lot of excitement. Isn’t this small black room similar? Well, of course, the applicable objects may be a little different...

...

Xie Qian's carriages and horses were outside Chengtian Gate, so when he left the palace, he took the usual paths to enter and exit the palace. When the soft carriage turned onto Jingyang Road, Xie Qian had already recovered. Although his body was still soft, his mood finally calmed down.

But when the roof was leaking, it was raining. At this moment, two people were hitting each other. Seeing Xie Qian from afar, both of them exclaimed in surprise: "Yu Qiao, you are..."

It’s not that Liu Jian is not calm, but the situation is too horrible. Xie Qian clearly agreed with the two, but he would not go to court, so he went to Qianqing Palace to wait, and then asked himself and Li Dongyang to follow up and use the wheel tactic. This strategy is not bad, and there is no risk, so it is very feasible.

But what is the situation now? Xie Qian's clothes are not tidy, and his hair is being carried out with messy hair. Well, Master Liu was too shocked and used the wrong word. However, only by using this word can we describe Xie Qian now in the most vivid way...

Li Dongyang was also surprised. No matter how delicate he was, he could not imagine what happened. Seeing Xie Qian's dying appearance seemed to be banished, but no matter how ridiculous the emperor was, he could not be rude to the Grand Secretary?

If that is true, things will be easier to say. Even the cabinet ministers will be a complete tyrant. After hearing the news from the outside, they will definitely be united. The joke is that the cabinet ministers are the highest representatives of civil officials. If they can beat them, then what officials will they be?

"Nothing is wrong, nothing is wrong..." Xie Qian covered his face and said, "It was just that when he advised the emperor, he was excited, which led to an old disease attack, so..."

The Grand Secretary was scared by a ghost and was paralyzed. This was too embarrassing. Of course, Xie Qian couldn't tell it calmly. Although he knew that the truth would not be hidden for long, he was still hiding it for a while. What's more, he couldn't say this in front of his two colleagues? Could it be that he was crying and asking them to avenge him?

Besides, Xie Qian is still a little careful. He is already embarrassed and cannot be saved. However, Liu and Li have not experienced it yet. If you don’t say it, maybe these two people will collide once, so won’t you have a companion?

It is not scary to say that Liu and Li will not be scared, but Xie Qian doesn't believe it. No matter how it was made or whether it was fake, if anyone who didn't know the truth, he would be scared very badly when he entered. He is the best proof.

"... The two brothers, I was unwell, so I took my leave first. There were two of them here, so I was relieved to advise the emperor." Xie Qian briefly explained a few words, and then hurriedly ordered the eunuchs carrying the sedan chair to leave quickly. While the matter had not spread, he would go home quickly and be ill afterwards, so he could avoid the limelight. Besides, his body was soft and he was really sad.

"...Yu Qiao, it's okay to go, don't worry about national affairs, just raise the prescription." Liu Jian looked suspicious, and Li Dongyang also frowned. Although he didn't know what was going on, according to the experience of the two, it must be not a good thing.

"Brother Xixian, Yu Qiao seems to be very ill. I will visit you. If there is something, it's better to take care of you. I'll ask you for the affairs in the palace." Li Dongyang reacted quickly and immediately raised the banner of visiting the patient. Li Gongmou's name is not a waste of time. Zhengde's side is obviously not a good way, and he will be strong when he is killed. It is not the style of Grand Secretary Li to come forward.

"The cabinet is the center of the world. Since you two go, there will be no one left in Wenyuan Pavilion. I will return to Wenyuan Pavilion first and wait for news to be the best strategy." They are all cabinet ministers, and no one is stupid. Liu Gongduan said that Liu Jian was decisive, not that he was a fool. Li Dongyang dared not take risks, and of course Liu Jian also had to do everything step by step.

As a result, both of the cabinet ministers failed the trust of their colleagues, one said they were going to visit the hospital, the other said they were on duty. The two also parted ways and went in the opposite direction of the Qianqing Palace.

The prudence of these two people allowed them to escape, but Xie Qian's bad luck continued.

At this time, it had been a long time since the separatist dynasty. Xie Qian thought that there should be no one in the palace. After leaving Chengtian Gate, he could get in the car and go home immediately. But who would have thought that just after passing Duan Gate, he raised his eyes and saw that there were bustling people outside, all of whom were crowned robes and Yan belts, and they were all court ministers.

"Sir Xie is here, is it...Sir Xie?" He recognized Xie Qian at a glance, but then he couldn't believe his eyes.

"Sir Xie, are you safe?" Seeing Xie Qian's appearance, he naturally hurriedly greeted him.

"Did the Emperor treat you..." Unlike those eunuchs and palace maids, the literati and officials in the court were very upright, and some of them were foolish and thought that the emperor was so rude, otherwise could Mr. Xie be like this?

"It's okay, nothing is wrong, I'm just an old disease attack..." Xie Qian covered his face again, and said one after another, just instructing the eunuchs carrying the sedan chair to leave quickly, looking like he didn't dare to see anyone.

"Could it be..." Everyone looked at each other, and then their doubts gradually arose, and many people's thoughts began to tilt to the side.

In fact, if it weren't for the news of the foreign court, Xie Hong and Zhengde were so popular that the news was first, and the eunuchs and maids in the palace would not have thought so evilly.

At this time, when Xie Qian looked ashamed of speaking and ashamed to see people, everyone no longer doubted that Zhengde was rude. You should know that being beaten by the court was a good thing, and it was a good experience that could keep his name in history!

If Grand Secretary Xie was beaten, he would definitely say a few words with righteousness. Then everyone would be excited, and then submit memorials, petitions, and even forced a palace to be forced to do so. It would be natural that he would not say anything.

It is hard to say what happened in the palace, after all, the behavior of the emperor today is difficult to guess. Even if Mr. Xie was caught, it is not impossible.

So, rumors were born...
