Zhe Jinchun

Chapter 386

Xue Yunheng frowned and pondered, with a trace of irony on his lips.

The great Chen has accumulated malpractice for a long time, and the serious illness is difficult to heal, but the one on the dragon chair was frightened by something, and only focused on the nobles. He was as timid as a mouse and extremely short-sighted. tolerance?

In comparison, although the first emperor was eager for quick success, he was not lacking in decisiveness, far more courageous than the current one.

After slightly adjusting his posture, Xue Yunheng moved the letter paper to the side facing the light, and continued to stare at the ten words on the paper carefully, his expression turning serious.

The "Zhou and Du" mentioned in the letter should refer to the Zhou family in Mianyang and the Du family in Xiangyuan among the seven surnames of Da Chen.

The relationship between these two surnames and the Xue family is not too close.This is not a secret either, everyone who has grown into a dignified gentry has heard of it.

Especially in the recent period, Zhou Jiadan has a lot to do with Xue Yunyan's investigation of the land occupation case.When Xue Yunheng returned to Dadu a while ago, he could vaguely sense the tense atmosphere between Zhou and Xue.

Except for these two families, the relationship between the two surnames "Feng and Shi" mentioned in the letter and the Xue family can only be described as "wrong".

Among these two surnames, the Feng family is the mother family of the second prince, while the Shi family is the mother family of the third prince.Both of these two families had thought of marrying Xue's family, but Duke Xue refused.

Therefore, getting married instead became enemies.

This is not to say that the Feng family and the Shi family are narrow-minded, but that Xue County Public Committee really refused politely, saying "scholars are only relatives who love virtue", and they directly classified these two families as "no virtue." those" list.

Being humiliated like this, and after all, they are also from the royal family, and they are also tainted with the crony of the royal family. How can these two families not be angry?

However, it is undeniable that when faced with the wishes of the two families to marry, only Xue Jungong's resolute and no room for refusal attitude can make the extremely suspicious Emperor Zhongyuan feel at ease.

This is the most effective and the only effective way to remove doubts. Are you, Duke Xue, willing to offend the mother clan of these two princes?In fact, he couldn't do it.

The Xue family made up their minds to stand behind Emperor Zhongyuan, even if any of your princes came, they would never stand in line.Facing the proposal of the two surnames to marry each other, if Lord Xue was half-delayed, Emperor Zhongyuan would not trust the Xue family as much as he does today.

However, no matter how satisfied he was in his heart, on the surface Emperor Zhongyuan had to express something.After all, he also has to take into account the face of the Tian family, so he can't be scolded for nothing by his son's mother clan, right?So not long after the incident, Emperor Zhongyuan called a servant to go to Xue's house, verbally reprimanded Duke Xue, and fined him a month's salary.

Duke Xue was scolded so much that he lost face, he was so angry that he excused his illness and did not go to court for half a month.At that time, there happened to be a lack of a big Situ among the three princes. Duke Xue was the most powerful candidate, but for these nonsense, he was joined by several censors to participate in the performance. In the end, the post of Great Situ fell on the head of Lao Cai Zhipei of the Cai clan in Jiyang.

The Cai family in Jiyang is also a common surname with a long history, but it is not as prestigious as the Guan family with seven surnames, and the power in the hands of the three princes of this dynasty has been dispersed, and it is far inferior to the important positions such as Shang Shuling and Pu She in terms of real power.

However, because the three officials are old and highly respected, they still hold a lot of weight in the emperor's heart, and they will be called to discuss some important and secret matters.

Duke Xue didn't compete for Da Situ, and Emperor Zhongyuan probably felt ashamed, so he treated Mrs. Xue very kindly in the following days.It's just that, the two surnames Feng and Shi are a little different inside and out.

These two families are also unlucky, how could they expect such a thing to happen even if they ask for a kiss?It was never expected that Emperor Zhongyuan's heart could become like this.

Now, with Xue Jungong's words in front of him, looking at Da Chen's somewhat respectable gentry, who would marry a "virtuous person" regardless of reputation?And since then, the Feng family and the Shi family have felt a faint embarrassment of "can't get married, can't get married".

The hatred of these two surnames towards the Xue family can be imagined from this.

But at this moment, these four gentry families with the worst relationship with the Xue family appeared in Dongling Yelao's words, Xue Yunheng felt indescribably weird.

Had it not been for Mr. Dongling's gift, he would not have forcibly bought (robbed) the piece of land in Huangbaipi. He fully believed that the land would be of great use in the future, so he kept it in his hands.At this point, however, the situation is likely to be quite the opposite.

"Could it be that Huang Baipi is actually a big trouble..." Xue Yunheng said softly to himself, his long eyebrows were slightly frowned, and his eyes flashed a bit of thought.

"Lang Jun, the tea is ready." A Du's voice came from the side.

Xue Yunheng let out a "huh", his eyes still resting on the letter, he waved his hand casually: "Pour."

Adu rolled his eyes, poured half a cup of tea, and tested the temperature with the back of his hand.

The weather was cold, although there was a stove burning in the car, it was not too warm, and the tea soon became less hot than before, so he carefully brought the teacup to Xue Yunheng.

Xue Yunheng took a sip from the tea cup, then frowned, and cast a faint glance at A Du: "It's hard to drink." After saying that, he put the tea cup aside and never touched it again.

Ah Du breathed out and was stuck in the middle of the road, his chest heaved for a long while, before he snorted heavily: "Poverty is particular!"

After thinking about it, I still couldn't get angry after all, so I picked up the teapot and pushed the window to throw it out.

"Wait a minute, I didn't say no to drinking." Qingyue's voice drifted over slowly.A Du's movements froze, he turned his head and glared at Xue Yunheng.

Xue Yunheng, however, looked smug, picked up the tea cup next to him and drank it down in one gulp, then pushed the empty cup in front of him: "Pour tea."

A Du was so angry that he fell on his back, but he could only pour tea for Xue Yunheng with hatred.

He lost a bet with Xue Yunheng the day before yesterday, and the bet was to serve Xue Yunheng honestly and well-behaved for ten days, during which time he could retaliate, but no quarrel was allowed.

Ah Du was full of arguing and had no place to quarrel, almost suffocating to death.

Seeing his servant blushing obediently and obediently pouring tea, Xue Yunheng didn't have much complacency on his face, but had a serious expression on his face.

The land of Huangbaipi is indeed very strange.

Since he got the land, from time to time, there are always people who want to buy it, sometimes merchants, sometimes nobles.Because they were all obscure characters, he didn't ask anyone to investigate them carefully, and just pushed them all out.

Thinking about it now, these land buyers are very strange.In such a poor place as Huangbaipi, how could there be so many people interested in this land?
