Xu Xun only met Shouning Hou once at the Shouning Hou Mansion, and his only impression was that she was a little clever, but willful and arrogant. Therefore,
The little emperor casually let the elder sister choose her husband, which really made him feel relieved. At this moment, when he heard Zhang Jingxuan opening his mouth to say that Zhang Heling was wrongly framed, he couldn't help but look at the look on his face
A bit weird.
If people don't know about it, they have to do it themselves. This matter was revealed so quickly. It was precisely because he ordered someone to reveal it to Li Mengyang on purpose. Li Mengyang also won the trust of Han Wen, the minister of the Ministry of Revenue. In addition, the matter of military supplies was originally a matter of the Ministry of Revenue.
After allocating silver coins, the firecrackers, one large and one small, exploded together, and Zhang Heling, who had originally wanted to cover the firecrackers, was immediately exposed.
To be fair, Zhang Heling originally took over this military supply with the idea of passing off inferior quality goods. The price negotiated with a merchant for 150,000 cotton robes was only 50,000 taels of silver, but when it was resold and delivered to the military camp, it cost a full ten thousand taels.
Fifty thousand taels, one in and out, one hundred thousand taels of silver, it is a joke to say that he was wronged. What Zhang Heling did not expect was that what he bought was just inferior goods, and what others really wanted to give him was so rotten that he could not
The things he used could be considered a frame-up. After all, if he hadn't been instigating and instigating him behind the scenes, which profiteer would have dared to collude with the servants of the Hou family and play tricks on the uncle of the dynasty like this?
Therefore, seeing Zhang Jingxuan's natural look, he smiled slightly, then looked at the nervous Madam Shouning Hou and said: "Military supplies are of great concern, so the emperor is naturally very angry, and this is the first time the emperor has made a personal contact.
A big scandal for Shouning Marquis has revealed such a big leak. Without a thorough investigation, it is not enough to calm down the discussions in the court. Even the Queen Mother cannot protect her brothers in such a big scandal.
He just excused himself from his illness. So, please be patient, madam and sister."
"This is impossible!" Although Zhang Jingxuan knew that her father was lecherous, arrogant and bad-tempered, except for a few cruel-hearted people who could kill relatives, most of them turned their elbows inward. Therefore, without thinking
The ground screamed loudly - after one sentence, she shouted angrily, "I want to go to the palace to beg the emperor!"
Seeing that Zhang Jingxuan ignored Zhang Jingxuan and rushed outside, suddenly the outside became a mess. Xu Xun saw that Mrs. Shouninghou was obviously in chaos and even forgot to call people to stop, so he coughed lightly.
He said: "Madam, the matter of Shouning Marquis is huge, but it's not really unclear. As long as the servants who handled it and the profiteers who handled these cotton robes can be found,
If you stay here, it will be much easier to get rid of this matter. When my father and son first arrived in the capital, the Marquis had a lot of trouble. I will definitely try to find out about this matter. Please rest assured, Madam."
Just now, her heart fell to the bottom, but now as soon as Xu Xun's words came out, Mrs. Hou Ning suddenly felt refreshed, and even forgot about the noise of her daughter outside. She stood up forgetfully.
He came, stared at Xu Xun and asked, "Uncle Pingbei, do you really mean what you say?"
"Of course I take it seriously. If it hadn't been for the help and support of Mr. Hou, my father and son would not have been able to establish themselves in the capital so easily. I have never had the chance to repay this huge favor. Now that the Hou Mansion has encountered this kind of thing,
Of course it is my duty to do so."
Her husband's sister had disappeared due to illness, and her brother had left her alone. However, Xu Xun, an outsider, sincerely agreed to take over the matter. Mrs. Shouninghou felt deeply touched in her heart. At this moment, she was almost overwhelmed.
As if she was a savior. Therefore, when Xu Xun asked her to act gloomy to the outside world and not to let others notice, she agreed without thinking. When Xu Xun stood up to leave, she suddenly remembered that she had just run out impulsively.
daughter.
"Pingbei Bojie will stay for now, then my Jingxuan..."
"It's not without benefit that Sister Da Nuo is making a fuss, and others will think that Shouning Hou's palace is in chaos and the Sacred Heart has been lost." When Xu Xun said this, seeing Mrs. Shouning Hou's face calm down, he smiled again.
He said, "Besides, the emperor has a deep love for sister and sister, and they just got a good marriage, and now they will definitely not blame them for their eagerness to save their father.,,
“I hope so…”….
Mrs. Shouning Hou forced a smile and nodded, and immediately sent Xu Xun out of the second door in person. After waiting for the people to mount their horses, they quickly disappeared around the corner with their entourage. From the side, Qian’s mother learned that Zhang Jingxuan had indeed prepared a car.
After entering the palace, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh, clenched her fist with her right hand and hit her forehead several times with the back of her hand.
"Madam, please be attentive. Sister Daxue and the Emperor have often met each other since they were young. Maybe there will be a turn for the better during this trip to the palace..."
"What a turn of events...this frizzy girl is going to get married and she's still like this!"
Mrs. Shouning Hou shook her head and sighed. Thinking of the way Xu Xun was sitting in front of her just talking, she suddenly felt a deeper regret in her heart. Even if Xu Xun was not awarded a title this time, just because of the name of a prince of Xing'an Bo,
head her
The daughter is determined not to suffer any loss when she gets married.
She had met the boy from the Zhao family once, and he was quite handsome. It was said that he was also good at martial arts. But when the family was facing such a crisis, his appearance and martial arts were of no use. They couldn't help him at all!
When they came out of Shouninghou Mansion, Xu Xun turned around and looked at the three rooms with five shelves of golden lacquered beasts.
Facing the tin ring gate, he swept around again, and then he quickly walked away with a few passers-by. As soon as he left, a figure flashed out of a corner. He stared at his back for a moment and then slipped away quietly.
. Xu Xun didn’t stop outside either.
Instead of staying, he went straight to Xi'an Gate. When he arrived at the Xiyuan Campus, he saw Qian Ning training the 500 avant-garde soldiers selected this time. He stopped and watched for a moment, and then a young eunuch came to him to give him some advice.
With a sound, he followed the person's finger
After walking along Taiye Pond for a stone's throw, Gu Dayong came up to meet him.
"Brother Xu, how was your trip to Shouninghou Mansion? Did you feel uncomfortable being chased by countless sentries?"
"You know that there are people following you but you can only ignore it. Lao Gu, do you think it feels good or not?"
Hearing Xu Xun's rhetorical question, Gu Dayong couldn't help but helplessly spread his hands and said: "I didn't expect that Dongchang's spies are so close to Jin Yiwei that they dare to stare at you so blatantly. If it weren't for now, it's not the right time.
After bringing the matter to the imperial court, Wang Yue could not even hope to get a good deal... Speaking of which, do you think Li Rong and Wang Yue were so bold in this matter that they dared to scheme against Shouning Hou behind his back?"
"Whether they did it or not...I only know that they took advantage of his illness to kill him!"
Xu Xun has always been a person who seizes every opportunity. Previously, he also took advantage of an opportunity that came to his door. He successfully kicked out Min Gui, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, transferred Jiao Fang from the Ministry of Personnel to the Ministry of Justice, and assisted Ma Wensheng and Zhang Caiteng in the Ministry of Personnel.
Out of position
Although it is impossible for the latter to become the minister, it is conceivable that Ma Wensheng attaches great importance to Zhang Cai and lays a solid foundation for him in the official department. And just for this, he is even willing to put his old age and some unpleasantness with him.
of
Ma Wensheng stayed in the official department. But this time, in order to create this opportunity, he even hid it from Gu Dayong, and only made trouble with Huitong, just in case.
"Okay, look quickly!"
What Gu Dayong hates the most is those hypocrites who are shady behind their backs but refuse to admit it in person, so Xu Xun's refreshing attitude naturally appeals to him. He greeted Xu Xun and they met on both sides of the stone table.
Sitting down, he personally poured a cup of tea for Xu Xun, and then said in a low voice: "I have found out about Zheng San from Shouning Hou Mansion, and he is in Dongchang."
"Sure enough, it's in Dongchang?" Xu Xun raised his eyebrows and then laughed, "No wonder you think it was Li Rong, Wang Yue and the others who planned this, but you didn't expect that they even had people in their hands."
If Zheng San had wanted to take it, he would have taken it long ago. Sure enough, Dongchang took it secretly like a treasure.
"Who knows!" Gu Dayong shrugged, his face showing a hint of difficulty, "If it were in other places, like a dragon's pool or a tiger's den, I could fish him out, but if it were Dongchang, I would
There is really nothing we can do. Then
This place has been Wang Yue's home base for many years. Besides, he and I are not affiliated with each other. As the governor of the West Factory, I am not the Supervisor of Ceremonies, so I can't do anything to him. Unless you are willing to lead the vanguard of the government army to attack..."
Xu Xun was startled when he heard this, and immediately curled his lips angrily and said: "Then you might as well let me rebel and have fun!,,
"Isn't this what I'm talking about?" Gu Dayong frowned for a while, and then sighed, "Speaking of it, this year has been really troubled, with endless things happening. Jiao Fang acted vigorously and resolutely after taking office.
Zheng Wang and others were killed, but because of this, some people accused the Ministry of Punishment of abusing punishment. There were even a few dumbfounded officials who grabbed the old stories of Zhang Yu, Liu Wentai and others who were executed before, saying that the late emperor was murdered.
seek
It’s harmful…”….
Although Gu Dayong just complained casually, but the speaker had no intention of listening, Xu Xun only felt his heart skip a beat.
He almost subconsciously approached Gu Dayong, and then whispered: "Lao Gu, do you think that if Shouning Hou is detained in the palace for a long time and cannot come out, will anyone want to take the opportunity to take the emperor and his wife?
Are you making a fuss about the relationship between your mother-in-law’s family, taking this opportunity to bring up old issues, and making a fuss about the emperor’s life experience?”
Gu Dayong was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, then stood up and walked back and forth for several steps beside the stone table. After a while, he suddenly stopped, his brows already twisted into a big knot: "Speaking of which
, the emperor only
After getting close to the Queen Mother, I have always been mediocre to my uncles Shouning Hou and Jianchang Hou. If it weren't for the sake of military supplies, the emperor would have said before that Shouning Hou should suffer a little, so that the Zhang family's children would not compete with each other.
None can succeed
He lost his gun...you mean, through this opportunity..."
"The Emperor has always been worried about Zheng Wang's case before. Unfortunately, all the clues have been cut off and no reason can be found. Now that Shouning Hou happened to be in trouble, why not take this opportunity to lure the snake out of its hole?"
Xu Xun remembered the decision he had made before, stood up and came to Gu Dayong's side, lowered his voice and whispered a few words to him. However, in a moment, Gu Dayong exclaimed: "This scene...
Is this move too harsh?"
"At this point, if we want to prove whether someone is fanning the flames, we should take the initiative to pour oil on the burning fire!"
ps: To add fuel to the fire, Xu Dahuo will have to do it himself in the next chapter...).
