Chapter 193 The Empress Dowager, the Queen, and the British Communist Party 【Order】

It's no wonder that Chen Ke is so cautious, the content of this confession is really too important, it's best not to leak it out.

Glancing at the little banner officer, Chen Ke said calmly: "You stay here for now, wait for the adults to come over and ask you something, then go back to the prison and watch."

When the little flag official heard the words, a look of surprise appeared on his face. Chen Ke was obviously supporting him by saying this. Aside from other things, it is definitely not a problem to raise at least one level up, and it is not impossible to even become a hundred household officer in one step.

On the long street outside Jinyiwei's yamen, Li Huan came on his horse. When he saw Li Huan approaching from a distance, the captain of Jinyiwei who was standing at the gate of the yamen rushed up and held Li Huan's horse. Huan got off his horse and strode into the yamen.

When he walked into the hall, Chen Kezheng, who had already received the news, stood there respectfully, bowed to Li Huan and said, "It's my subordinate's fault for disturbing your lord."

Li Huan waved his hand and said: "There are so many right and wrong, tell me quickly, what's going on, I'm in a hurry to find my official back."

Li Huan was also quite curious, what happened to make Chen Ke rush to invite him back to the Yamen.

Chen Ke took a deep breath, and handed the interrogated confession to Li Huan.

Li Huan glanced at Chen Ke, took the confession, and then looked through it carefully. Soon Li Huan frowned, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"Hehe, I really didn't expect that this big treason case would involve this person, but it's normal to think about it, after all..."

Just as he was about to say something, Li Huan glanced at Chen Ke and Xiaoqi, who was standing there respectfully, and said, "Block the news."

Chen Kedang immediately said: "Return to your lord, it has been blocked."

Li Huan nodded and said: "Then continue to interrogate me. I don't believe such a big case, it only involves this person. Let's see if there are any other accomplices."

Chen Ke looked straight and said: "This subordinate obeys orders."

As he said that, he glanced at Li Huan, while Li Huan was sitting there at the moment, carefully looking at the results of the interrogation again, and he didn't know what he thought of, and the corners of his mouth gradually opened into a smile.

British government
With the successful completion of the funeral of the British Duke Zhang Mao, the British government finally returned to calm after several days of tossing.

On this day, Guo Liang, Marquis of Wuding, came to visit Zhang Lun.

In the study, Guo Liang looked at Zhang Lun, who still had a bit of exhaustion on his face, and said: "The old man just left, you will be the pillar of our nobles in the future, you must take care of yourself, Mr. .”

Hearing this, Zhang Lun smiled at Guo Liang and said, "Thank you, Lord Hou, for your concern."

Speaking of which, Zhang Lun took a sip of tea and said, "Master Hou came to see me today, is there something wrong?"

Guo Liang glanced at Zhang Lun, hesitated for a moment and said, "The Duke has been busy with the funeral of the old Duke these days, presumably he doesn't care much about the outside world."

Hearing what Guo Liang said, Zhang Lun couldn't help but raised his eyebrows, and his heart skipped a beat. Could it be that something happened in the past few days that he didn't know about?
Thinking of this, Zhang Lun straightened his expression, looked at Guo Liang and said, "Wu Dinghou might as well talk about it!"

Guo Liang only saw Zhang Lun's reaction and knew that Zhang Lun must have not received the news. Although this matter was about to spread among the nobles, considering that the British government is indeed busy with the old It is reasonable to not know about the matter of Zhang Mao, the Duke of the state.

Thinking of this, Guo Liang chuckled lightly and said, "You don't have to be nervous, Duke Guo, it's not a bad thing, even if you really want to talk about it, it's still a good thing for our Xungui Group!"

Zhang Lun became even more curious when he heard the words. Looking at Guo Liang, his eyes were full of curiosity.

Guo Liang continued: "Speaking of which, the news was only spread yesterday. It is said... um, it is said that yesterday Cheng Guogong brought his wife and daughter into the imperial city to meet His Majesty and Empress."

Zhang Lun raised his brows, and then said suspiciously: "It seems that Cheng Guogong has never brought his wife and daughter into the palace in the past few years, so this time he did such a solemn thing, could it be that there is something wrong?"

Guo Liang stroked his beard when he heard the words, and said with a smile and admiration in his eyes: "Why don't you say that Duke Cheng is old enough to seek the country, I'm afraid it is Duke, you can't imagine what Duke Cheng is going to the imperial city for this time, right?" .”

Seeing Duke Ying's curious expression, Guo Liang didn't show off, he just exclaimed: "Mr. Cheng actually begged His Majesty, hoping that His Majesty would marry his daughter."

I don't know why, after listening to Wu Dinghou Guo Liang's words, the British Duke Zhang Lun was startled suddenly, and felt a little bad feeling in his heart.

On the contrary, Guo Liang, who didn't notice the change of expression on Zhang Lun's face, was full of admiration and amazement at the moment, and said with great emotion: "Duke, you may not have imagined that Duke Cheng would want His Majesty to give Li Huan and his favorite jewel in marriage..."

With a slap, Zhang Lun's complexion changed drastically, and his worry came true. Almost the moment he heard Li Huan's name, Zhang Lun couldn't help but slap on the table.

It even shook the tea on the table and spilled a piece of it.

However, Zhang Lun's huge reaction stunned Wu Dinghou Guo Liang, who looked at Zhang Lun rather puzzled and said, "Duke, you are..."

Zhang Lun's face was very ugly, just imagine that his son-in-law, Chenglong Kuai, who was favored by the British Duke, was snatched away by Cheng Guogong, how could this not make Zhang Lun annoyed.

Thinking of his grandfather dying, Cheng Guogong was at the side at that time. Obviously, his grandfather wanted to marry Li Huan in order to find a strong support for the British government, and Cheng Guogong also heard about it.

Originally, if my grandfather was still alive about this matter, maybe my grandfather had already mentioned it to the emperor at this moment, but whoever made my grandfather die, my family couldn't care about it for a while.

I thought that after my grandfather's funeral was over, I would consider finding an opportunity to see if I could ask the emperor to help me marry him.

However, who would have thought that Duke Cheng would strike first and enter the palace first to beg to see His Majesty.

Noticing Guo Liang's expression, Zhang Lun took a deep breath, tried his best to squeeze a smile on his face, and said slowly: "It's okay, this is a good thing, if it is really possible to get married to a new nobleman like Li Huan, It will definitely be of great help to my honorable future."

Hearing what Zhang Lun said, Guo Liang nodded and said: "Yes, I think so too, why didn't I think of this, or say that Mr. Cheng is scheming, if it were me, I would definitely do the same." Trying every means to marry Li Huan..."

Zhang Lun listened to Guo Liang's praise of Cheng Guogong, but he was so angry that his teeth itched. How could this be thought of by Cheng Guogong? It was clearly the first thought of his grandfather. He never thought that he would be preempted by Cheng Guogong. took a step.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Lun looked at Guo Liang and said, "Wu Dinghou, is there any accurate news from the palace? Your Majesty has already decreed marriages for Li Huan and Duke Cheng?"

Guo Liang shook his head when he heard the words and said: "Not yet, but I heard from Cheng Guogong that His Majesty has already agreed. As for the will, I think it will come down soon."

Guo Liang said with a smile: "These are what Cheng Guogong said after drinking, but from our point of view, Cheng Guogong will definitely not joke about such a big matter, and now it has been spread among the nobles. If you say it's a joke, then that girl from Cheng Guogong's family will really lose her reputation and become a laughingstock."

Zhang Lun couldn't help snorting coldly when he heard the words: "Hmph, Duke Cheng is really calculating. Is he trying to create established facts and force His Majesty?"

Guo Liang didn't know the reason, he looked at Zhang Lun in amazement and said doubtfully, "Duke, you are..."

Zhang Lun took a deep breath and said, "It's okay, I just thought of something."

After sending Guo Liang away, Zhang Lun returned to the living room, Guo Liang's words resounded in his mind, and he became more and more angry as he thought about it. He immediately grabbed the teacup beside him and threw it on the ground.

With a bang, the teacup shattered into pieces.

Su Shi, the Duke's wife who soon heard that the servants were well-versed, rushed over, walked into the hall, and saw Zhang Lun sitting there with a gloomy face, extremely unhappy, and the ground was full of debris.

He waved his hand at the maid behind him, and the maid retreated silently.

But Mrs. Su just walked up to Zhang Lun, looked at Zhang Lun and said, "What's the matter? Who the hell is this? How dare you provoke our Duke!"

Zhang Lun glanced at Mrs. Su, snorted softly and said, "I'm afraid Ma'am doesn't know, Duke Cheng went to meet His Majesty before us, and begged His Majesty for a marriage."

Su's complexion couldn't help changing when he heard the words, the smile on his face disappeared, and he said with a serious expression: "Husband, you mean that Cheng Guogong wants His Majesty to marry Li Huan to their family?" daughter?"

Zhang Lun nodded slightly.

Su Shi immediately said in a hurry: "This... How could Duke Cheng do this."

Zhang Lun immediately told Mrs. Su about the fact that Mr. Cheng was present when Zhang Mao died that day, and Mrs. Su was even more furious now.

Previously, she only thought that Duke Cheng thought of it himself. Although she was also very angry, at most she was angry that Duke Cheng was one step ahead of them. But after she understood what was going on, Su became even more angry.

Because Cheng Guogong's move was clearly to get ahead of their British government on purpose, and wanted to snatch such a big help from Li Huan to his own house.

Taking a deep breath, Su looked at Zhang Lun and said, "Husband, this matter must not be left alone. What do you decide to do?"

Zhang Lun glanced at Su Shi and said: "Since he can go to see His Majesty as a Duke, why can't we go to see His Majesty?"

Speaking of which, Zhang Lun sneered and said: "Besides, His Majesty has not officially issued an order yet. As long as it is not really confirmed, then there is still room for change in this matter."

Su's eyes lit up immediately when he heard the words: "Yes, yes, let's go see Your Majesty. After all, it was Grandpa who first proposed it. Your Majesty must also know what Grandpa means. Let's just say it is Grandpa's last wish. I beg Your Majesty to do it for you." Aunt Jin and Li Huan gave her a marriage, let's see what His Majesty says."

The husband and wife made up their minds, Dang even changed into a full suit, and at the same time, Mrs. Su also went straight to Zhang Jin's residence.

The purpose is very simple, that is to take Zhang Jin to meet the queen. Since Cheng Guogong can take the nine girls from Cheng Guogong's family to visit the queen, why can't their British government take Zhang Jin to meet the queen.

In the imperial city, Zhu Houzhao, who had a rare leisure time for a while, was paying her respects to Queen Mother Zhang at the place.

Sitting with him in Yongfu Palace, Zhu Houzhao listened to Queen Mother Zhang's nagging, with a smile on his face.

Suddenly, Empress Dowager Zhang looked at Zhu Houzhao and said, "Emperor, Marquis of Shouning and Marquis of Jianchang have been much more peaceful these days than in the past."

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he heard the words, glanced at Queen Mother Zhang, nodded with a smile and said: "What the queen mother said is that I also found that the Marquis of Jianchang and Marquis of Shouning are indeed much more peaceful. Their memorials all of a sudden decreased a lot.”

Hearing what Zhu Houzhao said, Empress Dowager Zhang said with a smile on her face: "I have said that Yan Ling and He Ling have not been very sensible these years, but now they have obviously improved a lot, but they will not cause you any more trouble. "

But Zhu Houzhao was quite disdainful in his heart. How could he not know the nature of Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling?
It is said that dogs can't change eating shit. The reason why Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling have been so peaceful these days is entirely because of Li Huan.

Although it is not clear what Li Huan did to Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling, Zhu Houzhao did not forget what Li Huan had said to him after he sent them to prison.

However, if the changes that have taken place in Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling now have nothing to do with Li Huan, Zhu Houzhao would not believe it at first.

But no matter what Li Huan did to the two of them, Zhu Houzhao didn't care. What he cared about was that the two of them just didn't want to make trouble for him, especially if they didn't have nothing to do to make trouble for Li Huan.

Empress Dowager Zhang praised Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling brothers, and Zhu Houzhao just nodded in accordance with what Empress Dowager Zhang said, with a smile on his face.

Suddenly, Qiu Ju's voice came from outside the hall and said: "Your Majesty, there is news from the guard at the door, saying that the British Duke, along with his wife and aunt, are begging to see His Majesty and the Empress."

Zhu Houzhao immediately raised his brows when he heard the words, and there was a little smile in his eyes. As for the intention of the Duke of England, Zhu Houzhao knew clearly when he heard that the Duke of England and his aunt also entered the palace together.

There is no impenetrable wall in this world. The matter of Cheng Guogong's entry into the palace yesterday must not be hidden from the British government. Even Zhu Houzhao himself can imagine what kind of reaction the British government will have when they know Cheng Guogong's move.

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Zhu Houzhao stood up and said to Empress Dowager Zhang: "Mother, I don't know what the Duke of England is going to the palace to ask to see me at this time, so I won't be here to accompany my mother."

Empress Dowager Zhang couldn't help sighing softly when she heard the words: "Forget it, since the emperor has something to deal with, then go."

After leaving the Yongfu Palace, Zhu Houzhao said to Qiu Ju: "Go and order someone to take the Duke of England to Qianqing Palace, his wife and the girl Jin, take him to see the queen together, and order the queen to treat her well."

Qianqing Palace

As the residence of the emperor, generally speaking, if you are not an important minister, you are not qualified to meet the emperor here.

However, for the British Duke, he naturally had no worries in this regard. Under the leadership of Qiu Ju, Zhang Lun walked into the Qianqing Palace.

For Zhang Lun, this is the first time he has entered a place such as the Qianqing Palace to meet the emperor after he inherited the title of Duke of England.

Thinking of his purpose of coming, even Zhang Lun became a little nervous. What if the Son of Heaven had already agreed to Cheng Guogong and did not agree to his request, what should he do.

With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Zhang Lun had already entered the Qianqing Palace. When he saw Zhu Houzhao, Zhang Lun hurriedly stepped forward to bow to Zhu Houzhao and said, "Mr. Zhang Lun, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Zhu Hou took a look at Zhang Lun, nodded slightly and said, "Aiqing is not polite, let's be flat."

After granting the seat, Zhu Houzhao looked at Zhang Lun and said: "The old Duke died for the country, and my heart is very sad, but the deceased is gone. I will look forward to everything. In the future, the British government and all the nobles still need love." You take care of it, Qing, you must take care of your health if you love Qing."

Hearing the words, Zhang Lun bowed to Zhu Houzhao with a moved face and said, "Your Majesty cares for me, and I feel grateful."

After comforting Zhang Lun, Zhu Houzhao said: "Aiqing is entering the palace at this time, but what's the matter?"

Zhang Lun hurriedly said: "This time I entered the palace, one is to thank the emperor for his mighty grace, and the other is related to my grandfather's last wish. As soon as I close my eyes, my grandfather's words rang in my ears. I can only beg Your Majesty with the brazenness. "

Zhu Houzhao smiled slightly and said: "Oh, I don't know what's wrong with Aiqing. If I can do it, I will definitely do it for Aiqing!"

Hearing the words, Zhang Lun hurriedly said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

As Zhang Lun coughed, he said in embarrassment: "Your Majesty also knows that when Grandpa was dying, all he wanted was to find a son-in-law for Aunt Jin, and Grandpa fell in love with Li Huan at that time. My lord, I never thought that my grandfather died and I didn't have time to deal with this matter, leaving regrets, I don't want my grandfather to leave with regrets like this, so I come here to ask His Majesty to bestow marriages on Aunt Jin and Li Huan."

Although he already knew the purpose of Zhang Lun's visit, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help sighing after hearing what Zhang Lun said.

But for this, Zhu Houzhao already had a plan in his mind, and he seemed quite calm when he heard the words. He glanced at Zhang Lun and said, "You said this, I naturally remember that when the old Duke was dying, he was indeed talking about it. .”

Zhang Lun was overjoyed when he heard the words, and the emperor remembered this, so everything will be much easier.

However, at the next moment, Zhu Houzhao said with a look of embarrassment on his face: "It's just that I promised Cheng Guogong not long ago to marry Li Huan to the daughter of Cheng Guogong's family. This..."

Zhang Lun's complexion changed, and he said in surprise: "Your Majesty, Cheng Guogong...he is not ashamed. It is obvious that my British government first planned to marry Li Huan, but he begged Your Majesty first. If so, I must go to find Duke Cheng and talk about it..."

Zhu Houzhao laughed secretly in his heart when he heard the words.

However, he looked at Zhang Lun with a look of embarrassment on his face and said, "If Duke Cheng didn't come to see me first, and I agreed to Duke Cheng's words, Aiqing mentioned this matter today, even if it was to settle the old country. I will also agree to the father-in-law's last wish, but now, Aiqing, you tell me how I should deal with it."

Zhang Lun also showed embarrassment on his face.

But at this moment Zhu Houzhao said: "Why don't you two stop fighting, in order to avoid hurting the harmony of your two families, I will find a noble girl in the clan and promise it to Li Qing..."

Hearing what Zhu Houzhao said, Zhang Lun was stunned, and looked at Zhu Houzhao stupidly, can he still come like this?His British government competed with Cheng Guo's government, but in the end it was cheaper for others.

Zhang Lun couldn't help but said anxiously: "Your Majesty, you just agreed to the subject, how can you..."

Zhu Houzhao spread his hands and said: "But I also agreed to Cheng Guogong, and I have no choice. After all, I can't have two women working together. Let's follow the example of Ehuang and Nvying."

The confused Zhang Lun's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he suddenly raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, I think it is possible!"

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but glanced at Zhang Lun and said: "Aiqing, are you joking? Anyway, your British government is also a top honorable person. How can a woman who was born in the British government work with others? If it spreads out, wouldn’t it damage the reputation of the British government.”

What reputation is not famous? If you really want to say it, Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling made a big fuss in front of the British government earlier, and their reputation of the British government has been damaged.

It was also at that time that Zhang Lun deeply realized that fame and everything are false, and only what can be grasped in the hands is real.

At that time, if Li Huan did not come forward to help them solve their troubles, I am afraid that the reputation of their British government would be even worse, so Zhang Lun made up his mind, no matter what, he would marry Li Huan, a new rich man. Can stabilize the influence of their British government.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Lun looked at the Son of Heaven and said: "Your Majesty, I think that it is better for my aunt to marry a young hero like Li Huan, even if she works with others, than marrying an ordinary person. call the shots."

Zhu Houzhao nodded, glanced at Zhang Lun and said, "Aiqing has no opinion, it's not that I can't consider this, but how should Cheng Guogong explain it?"

When it comes to Cheng Guogong, Zhang Lun is furious. If it weren't for Cheng Guogong's unreasonableness, how could he agree to let his aunt, who is his own, to work with others? Shameless?

Immediately Zhang Lun said: "Your Majesty, anyway, my British government has no objection to your majesty's decision. If it is said that Cheng Guogong's government does not agree, it is just right. They themselves did not agree. What has your majesty to do. "

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but glanced at Zhang Lun when he heard the words. Zhang Lun was so calculating that he actually wanted to force Cheng Guogong's family to retreat.

Zhu Houzhao nodded with a smile and said: "Okay, since that's the case, then I will order someone to pass on to the Duke Cheng to enter the palace and ask his opinion."

Duke Cheng's Mansion
Cheng Guogong leaned on the seat with a face full of pride, stroked his beard and smiled: "Lin'er, what you did for your father is not bad, right? Almost everyone among the nobles knows about it overnight. Now, even if the British government knows about it, it’s too late to do anything.”

Thinking that he had finally won against Zhang Mao, an old friend, Zhu Fu was full of pride.

Zhu Lin coughed lightly, looked at his father's proud face and said, "Father, that's what I said, but as long as the imperial edict is not issued, it will eventually change."

Zhu Fu waved his hand and said, "It's okay, His Majesty has already promised to be a father, unless His Majesty repents, otherwise, this matter is a firm matter, and no one can change it."

As he spoke, Zhu Fu stroked his beard and said, "Our Duke Cheng's mansion is ready to marry our daughter, hahaha... This time, our Duke Cheng's mansion can finally overwhelm his British mansion."

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, and the butler came over with a servant.

When Zhu Fu saw the person coming, he couldn't help being stunned, and then he got up and greeted him and said, "Isn't this the Senior Supervisor, the Senior Supervisor Gao came here, could it be that His Majesty has some orders to pass on?"

Thinking that the Son of Heaven might be Gao Feng who came to deliver the decree, Zhu Fu couldn't help but feel excited. It seems that the Son of Heaven is still reliable. Yesterday he promised to grant the marriage, and today the imperial decree to bestow the marriage came down. This speed is really fast enough Fast.

His eyes swept over Gao Feng, but he didn't see the imperial decree.

Gao Feng naturally noticed Zhu Fu's gaze, and he could more or less guess what Zhu Fu was looking for. Gao Feng, Qiu Ju, and the British government and the Chengguo government's fight for Li Huan's son-in-law Naturally, those servants who followed the emperor knew clearly.

It was a little funny in his heart, but Gao Feng said to Zhu Fu solemnly, "Duke Cheng, His Majesty ordered you to enter the palace."

It turned out that it was only the emperor's oral order, not the one who came to deliver the decree.

Zhu Fu was a little disappointed in his heart, but soon cheered up, nodded to Gao Feng with a smile on his face, and said, "Okay, Supervisor Gao, a moment later, after I change my clothes, I will go with the supervisor Enter the palace to meet His Majesty."

Gao Feng nodded
Now Zhu Lin stepped forward to salute Gao Feng and said with a smile, "Gao Supervisor, I don't know if Your Majesty called my father into the palace, but what's the matter?"

Gao Feng smiled slightly, glanced at Zhu Lin and said, "The Duke of England entered the palace not long ago, and brought his wife and his little aunt who is famous in Jinghua."

Although it was just a simple sentence, it made Zhu Lin's face change when he heard it. Zhu Lin was not stupid, and immediately understood that the thing that their father and son were most worried about happened.

Zhu Lin's heart tightened, and he cupped his hands at Gao Feng and said, "Wait a minute, superintendent, I'll go see how father is doing."

Gao Feng smiled and said, "Young master, please go ahead."

When Zhu Lin saw Zhu Fu, Zhu Fu had almost changed into a gorgeous official uniform. Seeing Zhu Lin coming in a hurry, he couldn't help raising his brows and glanced at Zhu Lin: "Lin'er, you are not there Accompanying Supervisor Gao, what are you doing for your father when you come to see him?"

Zhu Lin hurriedly said: "Father, something is wrong. Just now the Supervisor Gao said that the Duke of England has entered the palace, and he brought his wife and Zhang Jin with him."

"what!"

Zhu Fu was startled and said: "No, Zhang Lun wants to spoil my big business."

Zhu Lin said with a worried face: "Father, you said that His Majesty would not want to go back on his word."

Zhu Fu took a deep breath and said slowly: "Don't worry, don't worry, Your Majesty has said so well, since you agreed to be your father, how could you easily go back on your word, and you will know when your father enters the palace and sees His Majesty."

Speaking of which, Zhu Fu hurriedly met Gao Feng, and followed Gao Feng straight to the imperial city.

Yuyao County, Shaoxing Prefecture, Zhejiang Province
There is a gorgeous manor in the outskirts of Yuyao County. This manor is completely modeled on Suzhou gardens, with pavilions, pavilions, exotic flowers and plants. A delicate.

Xie Garden is the name of this manor, and Xie Garden was built by Xie's family.

It should be said that Yuyao County is most famous for the Xie family who was the elder of the court.

Xie Qian has been in the center for more than ten years, and he has been a cabinet minister for more than ten years. He even served as the head and assistant of the cabinet for a few years.

Moreover, the Xie family not only produced an elder like Xie Qian, although Xie Di, Xie Qian's younger brother, was not as good as Xie Qian, but he was also an official at the level of a member of the Ministry of War.

It can be said that the Xie family is an unrivaled and famous family in Yuyao County.

After Xie Qian was dismissed two years earlier, the reputation of Xie Qian, who returned to Yuyao County, not only did not decline due to dismissal, but became more and more loud, especially among scholars, who were recognized as loyal and not afraid of court treacherous minister.

Xie Qian built a school next to Xie Garden and started a private school called Muzhai School, which was named after himself.

It is conceivable how many scholars can be attracted by the opening of a school by a dignified chief minister of the cabinet.

It can be said that from the very beginning, many scholars from the south of the Yangtze River came to study, listened to Xie Qian's lectures, and respected Xie Qian as their teacher.

There are hundreds of disciples under Xie Qian's sect with names and surnames. As for the scholars who are listening, there may not be less than a thousand.

All of a sudden, the Xie family's reputation in Yuyao became even louder.

Of course, the more famous Xie Qian's reputation became, as Li Huan, who had harmed Xie Qian, his reputation was almost stink in the local area. Everyone shouted and beat him, and everyone cursed him.

Not long ago, Muzhai Academy suddenly suspended classes for two or three months, saying that Xie Qian suddenly felt unwell and was recuperating in the Xie Garden.

When the news came out, many scholars prayed for Xie Qian outside Xie Garden, praying for Xie Qian's speedy recovery.

On this day, a carriage creaked from a distance and stopped at the back door of Xie Yuan.

The man driving the carriage jumped down from the carriage, lifted the curtain, and saw an old man stepping down from the carriage, looked at Xie Yuan in front of him, stroked his beard and smiled, "Let's not go for a few months, think about it now, It's more comfortable in this garden!"

Walking into the Xie Garden, Yingying Yanyan came into sight. When the young and beautiful maids saw the old man, they all stopped to salute the old man.

Looking at these young and beautiful maids, Xie Qian couldn't help but burst out laughing. He stretched out his big hands and took one of the delicate maids into his arms. After a while, he laughed loudly and said: "This beauty, this situation, this beauty, even if I give the old man a first assistant, I won't change it."

A pair of big hands naturally reached under the maid's dress, and at this moment a voice came from a distance: "Brother, you don't need to notify in advance when you come back."

Hearing this, Xie Qian raised his head and saw an old man in Tsing Yi striding towards him, who could it be if it wasn't his younger brother who was implicated by him to become an official?

The big hand grabbed the tender skin suddenly, then pushed the maid who was crying in pain away, and went up to Xie Di and said: "What if you inform, so what if you don't inform, just like I left quietly, Came back quietly again, who knows that my brother is not in this Xie Garden in the past two or three months."

Xie Di glanced at Xie Qian, as if he was sure that Xie Qian was fine, with a slight smile on his face, and then waved to the maids around, and all the girls left in an instant.

Xie Qian went to sit down in the gazebo next to him, glanced at Xie Di and said, "Didn't anything happen during my absence?"

Xie Di shook his head slightly and said: "What can be the matter, that is, the younger brother received the news from Beijing and was worried. Now that the elder brother has returned safely, the younger brother can let go of his heart."

Compared with the news sent back quickly, Xie Qian sat in a carriage all the way. Although there are convenient waterways, the speed is not too slow, but compared with the news sent back by a special messenger, the speed is naturally incomparable.

Not long ago, Xie Di received news from Beijing that the emperor was unconscious and was rescued by Li Huan. At the same time, courtiers were arrested and interrogated severely. Xie Di broke into a cold sweat for Xie Qian .

Although Xie Di didn't know exactly why Xie Qian came to Beijing all of a sudden, but not long after Xie Qian entered Beijing, there was news that the emperor was murdered in Beijing. Xie Di was not a fool. It can also be guessed that the assassination of the emperor may have the shadow of his own brother.

After hearing Xie Di's words, Xie Qian just glanced at Xie Di lightly and said: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and don't think too much about what you shouldn't think about. You just need to know that your brother won't harm our Xie family." Yes."

Shady nodded.

Xie Qian stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The news will come out tomorrow, saying that the old man is healthy and ready to give a lecture. Anyone who is interested in studying, please come and listen to the lecture."

Xie Di smiled and said: "Brother, when he speaks, it will definitely cause a stir in the world. I don't know how many scholars will come to listen to the lecture."

There was a smile on the corner of Xie Qian's mouth, and his eyes were full of pride and complacency.

He Xie Qian was famous in the south of the Yangtze River. Although he is no longer the chief assistant, there are still many former disciples and old officials who are in the court. Although his influence is not as good as before, few people can underestimate him.

Many scholars came to listen to the lecture because of his status. If they can worship under Xie Qian's sect, they will benefit greatly in the future whether it is a scientific examination or an official.

As he said that, Xie Qian glanced at Xie Di and said, "Is there any latest news from Beijing?"

Xie Di pondered for a while, thought carefully, and suddenly said: "I don't have any other news, but I heard that Grand Master Fei Hongfei's house was ransacked."

Xie Qian couldn't help frowning when he heard the words, Fei Hong was naturally no stranger to him, he was also one of the most important ministers in the court, he was originally a predetermined cabinet minister, and even becoming the chief minister of the cabinet was not difficult.

Naturally, Xie Qian and Fei Hong's friendship is not bad, and the relationship is even much closer than most people imagine.

After a long while, Xie Qian sighed softly and said, "I'm the one who got him involved."

As he spoke, Xie Qian said with emotion: "The Fei family of Qianshan Mountain is over!"

Xie Di's face was full of the look of a dead rabbit and a fox hurting others, and sighed: "Yes, the Fei family in the huge Qianshan Mountain, the whole family, I heard that only a few core members of the family escaped, and the rest were all locked up by Jin Yiwei. Now Jin Yiwei is confiscating Qianshan Fei's property, and I am afraid that it will be endless without a month or two."

Said Xie Di glanced at Xie Qian, and Xie Qian was sitting there, squinting his eyes slightly, the tea in his hand was shaking slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

While Xie Qian and Xie Di were talking about Fei's family in Qianshan County, Du Guang was leading Jin Yiwei to watch the large boxes full of gold, silver and jewels being carried out and loaded into the carriage with his face in Qianshan County. It is full of dignified colors.

Xiaoqi, a Jinyi guard beside him, whispered to Du Guang: "My lord, I really can't imagine that there are more than 200 million taels of cash that have not been confiscated. The Fei family is really too rich."

Du Guang snorted coldly and said, "What is wealth? It's not the people's fat and people's ointment that they searched for. It's millions of taels of gold and silver. It will take several lifetimes for the Fei family to earn it. That's not counting the 10,000+ mu fertile fields, hundreds of shops, manors, mines."

The little banner officer lowered his head, while Du Guang watched the soldiers of the guards carry the boxes one by one into the carriage with cold eyes, while the Jinyi guards around them pressed their hands on the handles of their knives one by one, monitoring the guards all the way soldiers.

With so much gold and silver wealth, there are too many people who are jealous. As the saying goes, money touches people's hearts. If someone really moves their minds, don't think it is dirty silver that has not been copied. Someone will dare to make a decision.

So from the beginning to the end, Du Guang didn't dare to be careless in the slightest. Don't think that these guards are reliable. Du Guang dared to say that if he hadn't sent Jin Yiwei to watch over the whole process, the gold and silver wealth would not have been taken care of by these guards. It's strange to divide it up.

Seeing that all the gold and silver that hadn't been confiscated had been loaded into the cart, Du Guang took a deep breath, cupped his hands at the cold-faced guard Qianhu officer and said, "Zhu Qianhu, let the brothers go, this money is worthless." If it can be successfully sent to the capital, both the Commander and His Majesty will be rewarded, and it is not impossible for Zhu Qianhu to be promoted to the Commander."

Hearing this, Zhu Ying glanced at Du Guang, then looked at those Jin Yiwei who were standing all around, staring at their soldiers, sighed in her heart, put away her little thoughts, and clasped her fists at Du Guang: "When the time comes, I will invite Du Bai Hu helped to speak well in front of the governor."

Li Huan was sitting there talking with Feng Shi.

Feng Shi looked at Li Huan and said, "Huan'er, mother hasn't asked you yet, how are you going to arrange for your two uncles?"

Although she knew that Li Huan would definitely not treat her two uncles badly, Feng Shi was still quite concerned. Looking at Li Huan, she couldn't help asking.

Li Huan smiled and said, "It's not uncle who asked mother to ask you."

Feng rolled her eyes at Li Huan and said, "Your uncle is not stupid, it's just that mother wants to know."

Li Huan was joking with Feng Shi, and he also knew that Feng Yongguo and Feng Yongbang couldn't let Feng Shi ask him about such things, but Li Huan really thought about their arrangement.
