Jinyi Night Walk

"Master Fu, please!"

Xu Jingchang walked to the door of the study room, and let the guests in solemnly.

After Qiu Fu sadly left the capital, in the Mansion of the Governors of the Five Armies, only Cheng Guogong Zhu Neng and Dingguo Duke Xu Jingchang remained. He didn't care about making a younger generation equal to him, Xu Jingchang had real power in his hands, and he had gradually stirred up the burden of the Xu faction's resurgence, and he was quite proud of himself.

And all of this is inseparable from Xia Tao's help. Xia Tao won the fight with Qiu Fu, and this benefit fell on his head. Xu Jingchang is sincerely grateful to Xia Tao.They were just allies at first, but now the relationship is even more different. The eldest aunt has already called him into the palace to give orders. His little aunt Xu Miaojin is about to marry Yang Xu, and told him to arrange the marriage carefully, and later assist the Duke Yang Xu is his uncle, so the relationship is of course closer.However, the marriage has not been achieved yet, and it is not easy to call him uncle when we meet, so we still use the original address.

"Such a thing happened?"

Fangzhou welcomed Xia Tao into the mansion, and Xu Jingchang noticed that the other party looked serious, as if he had something important to discuss, so he didn't invite him to meet in the living room, but went into the study to discuss the matter. Xia Tao sat down and explained Xu Huizu's situation , Xu Jingchang couldn't help Qu Ran's discoloration.

Xia Tao sighed: "Yeah, I didn't think of it either. If it's just a personal grievance, it's fine, but there are all kinds of incidents before and after contacting. "You know, this is a big taboo of the emperor! "

Xu Jingchang nodded heavily. Of course he knew what this kind of action meant. It was an attempt to shake the current rule. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was conspiracy. The uncle separated, and the current queen is his aunt, what he is most worried about right now is that he will also be implicated.

Xu Jingchang hurriedly asked: "What is the emperor planning to do? Could it be that he is going to treat uncle him?"

Xia Tao shook his head lightly: "With the queen here, I will try my best to beg... The emperor decided that this case will be handled in secret and will not be made public. The only person involved is Wei Guogong, so it can be regarded as an extrajudicial favor. But... Although the death penalty is spared, the emperor can no longer just sit back and watch him do whatever he wants, the emperor will make up a random accusation for him, deprive him of his title, put him in complete confinement and impose the punishment of "house ring", and he will not be allowed to see another person until he dies!"

Among the confinement punishments, the "house circle" is more ruthless than the "wall circle". There is at least a corner of the "wall circle" where you can take a walk in the courtyard and see the sun. Once you are in the "house circle", you will never see the sky I can't even see much light in the day. But for an emperor and a person who committed the crime of treason, even if he is in the royal family circle, it is a great gift. I have to say that because of his beloved wife, Zhu Di He really did his best to this uncle.

Xu Jingchang remained silent, his uncle was to blame for his biological father's death, but as a younger brother of a big family in the feudal era, he couldn't feel deep hatred for the patriarch of his own clan.Now that the world has been settled, the titles of monarchs and ministers have been determined, the uncle who has received the emperor's preferential treatment is unwilling to be lonely, and he did such a thing again, the emperor just imprisoned him, what else can he say?

Xia Tao sighed softly: "Heaven committed evil, but you can still live; self-inflicted evil, you can't live! I came today for no other reason, just to tell you, don't let Ming'er know about this matter."

Speaking of this, Xia Tao's face became slightly hot: "You also know that the emperor ordered a marriage, and Ming'er and I..."

Xu Jingchang nodded and said: "Yes, I know, the eldest aunt has already confessed, and soon...the two families will marry, and Fu Guogong is my aunt, and the two families will be married forever."

Xia Tao smiled, then sighed softly, and said, "Yes, Yi Ming'er was very sad when your father passed away that day, and this incident hurt her a lot. Now, Duke Wei is stubborn and has done so many things again. Come on, Ming'er must be even more sad when he hears this. Although the emperor gave him extra-judicial kindness, he only imposed confinement, but his close relatives are subject to this punishment. I'm afraid that Ming'er... I don't want Ming'er to be sad again, so I came here to ask you For a while, don't let her know about these things."

Xu Jingchang nodded heavily, and said in a deep voice, "I understand!"

"Miss!"

Qiaoyun stood at the door, with her hands behind her back, tilted her head and smiled at Ming'er.

Xia Tao's marriage proposal, the emperor's marriage, my sister has already told Ming'er, Xiaoni is both ashamed and happy, ever since she heard the news, she has been in a trance for a day, she can't tell what it feels like, she is a little happy, but at the same time A little uneasy about getting married, probably this is the common problem of every girl who is about to be a wife when she is about to get married. Amidst the joy and excitement, there is always a trace of inexplicable tension.

She was in a trance for a while, and she didn't know what she was thinking. In fact, she just sat there for a while, without thinking about anything.

Qiaoyun looked at the young lady's appearance, thought it was funny, and couldn't help calling out, Ming'er came back to her senses, raised her eyes and saw Qiaoyun's narrow eyes, and said uncomfortably: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Qiao Yun giggled, walked in bouncingly, and said: "Miss, our uncle has come to the house."

Ming'er wondered, "What uncle?"

Immediately she came to a sudden realization, and immediately blushed and said angrily: "Damn girl, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Qiao Yun laughed and said, "People call it that first, save it and get used to it in the future."

Ming'er's face became even redder, and she cursed with a smile: "Are you still asking for a beating?" But her heart was sweet, so she couldn't help asking: "What is he here...for?"

Qiao Yun said: "How do I know, Ding Guogong greeted him in person, and then the two entered the study, mysteriously, but... don't ask, at this time, my uncle came to the door, it must be He Dingguo. Discuss the marriage with the girl."

"No! Impossible!"

Ming'er suddenly felt a warning sign. Although Xu Jingchang established his own family, he was equivalent to another head of the Xu family, but he was his junior. He could run around for his marriage, but he couldn't be a The woman's representative who discussed the marriage with the man, and it was impossible for Yang Xu to show up by himself to discuss the marriage at the woman's house. Even if there were no elders in his family, he should entrust a respected elder to come forward on his behalf.

So, what did he come to Duke Ding's mansion at this sensitive time?

The lifelong event of the daughter's family is the biggest event, and I really don't want any more accidents and accidents. Once Ming'er notices something different, she becomes a little restless, thinks for a moment, and then orders: "Qiaoyun, you go to the front and watch, Fu Guogong As soon as you leave, ask Jing Chang to come see me!"

Qiaoyun only said that her young lady cared about her husband, she agreed with a chuckle, and ran to the front hall.

Xu Qin hurried into Xu Huizu's residence, lowered his hands and said, "Father, you called me!"

Xu Huizu's complexion was a little strange, after he glanced at him, Xu Huizu ordered in a deep voice: "Qin'er, you leave the mansion immediately, take Xianzong with you, and go to Dingguo Duke's mansion to find your little aunt."

Xianzong is the grandson of Xu Huizu, who was just born and was still a child who was not yet a hundred days old.

After listening to his father's instructions, Xu Qin couldn't help wondering: "Father, do you want to take my little aunt back to live in the house? What are you doing with Xianzong?"

Xu Huizu glanced at him angrily, and shouted: "Idiot!"

"Yes!" Xu Qin's family was very strict. Seeing his father's anger, he couldn't help feeling flustered, and quickly lowered his head: "But...the child really doesn't understand..."

Xu Huizu breathed a sigh of relief, and said slowly: "You go to see your little aunt, and beg her to take you into the palace to meet your eldest aunt."

"Yes, then?"

"Your aunt will understand. As long as she sees you, she will understand. Go!"

Xu Qin was in a daze, waiting to ask again, Xu Huizu's eyebrows had already been raised, Xu Qin panicked, agreed quickly, bowed and backed out.

As soon as Xu Fu disappeared, Xu Huizu felt that something was wrong. At first, he still held hope in his heart, but when the people around him saw Jin Yiwei in flying fish uniform and embroidered spring knife appearing in public around the mansion, they hesitated to go , he knew the situation was over.He knew he was doomed, the emperor had already spared him once, would he spare him a second time?For the crime of treason, even the gold medal for avoiding death can't save him. The only way now is to protect his family as much as possible.

Xu Qin didn't know why, but seeing that his father was so cautious, he expected to be in danger, so he didn't dare to be negligent at the moment, went back to the back house to hug the baby, and hurried to the gate. In front of the mansion, Xu Qin couldn't help being shocked when he saw the person coming soon, and cried out: "Little aunt!"

It was Ming'er and a few guards who came here. Once Ming'er had a problem, how could Xu Jingchang keep a secret under her interrogation.

Ming'er's pretty face was covered with frost, she jumped off the horse and said, "Take me to see your father!"

Xu Qinqi said: "Auntie, my lord father asked me..., let me take Xianzong to see you..."

Ming'er said: "I see, what is a big man doing standing here with a baby in his arms, telling outsiders to watch a joke? Go back home!"

After all, we should go first, Xu Qin was puzzled, so he had to follow her back to the mansion.

Xu Huizu sat in the room for a while, and sighed leisurely: "Huizu, Huizu, you can't protect you, you can't protect your family, I really failed as a man, under the nine springs, what face do you have to see me? Where is the hopeful father?"

"Father, little aunt is here!"

Xu Qin's voice suddenly came from the door, Xu Huizu's body shook suddenly, and he wanted to turn around, but the neck seemed to be made of iron, it was too hard to twist.

"What are you doing here?"

When Xu Huizu said this, he startled himself, his voice was as astringent as a rusty knife slowly being pulled out of its scabbard.

Xu Ming'er said coldly, "Why did you ask Xu Qin to see me?"

Xu Huizu stopped talking, what could he say.

With tears in her eyes, Xu Ming'er said sadly, "Brother, I thought that you had already reached the stage where your six relatives were not recognized and your four relatives were all empty. So, you also know how to protect your own relatives!"

She sniffed, raised her head and said: "You asked Xu Qin to see me, but you were worried that the emperor would be furious and kill you all, and wanted Xu Qin to beg us, those of us whose hearts were broken by you. Darling, save a bit of flesh and blood for you? You ask me what I am here for? I am here to tell you, Xu Huizu! Please don’t hurt...my relatives again!"
