A Thousand Hills

Chapter 171

When Mr. Beiling was ignorant of current affairs, two generations of the late emperor, father and son wanted to crush him to death, but due to various reasons, they maintained a respectful face, which was out of sight.But this person really has to talk about fate, and for some reason, Mr. Beiling seems to like the fifth prince.

Of course, it may be that the Fifth Prince caught Mr. Beiling's pulse. Wu Zhizi discussed with Mr. Beiling in this way, "I have been working in the Ministry of Rites for these years. Every spring, there are very few high school students in Fujian. Sir I am a person of learning, since I went to Fujian, I will become a feudal lord, and there are some knowledgeable students among my husband's disciples, why don't you recommend some people to me. When you arrive in Fujian, you can also open a forum to give lectures, and you will live up to your writing."

How could Mr. Beiling refuse such a reasonable request? The fifth prince asked sincerely, and Mr. Beiling introduced some good disciples in the field to the fifth prince, but some of them were not in the imperial capital. If I can’t go in person to extend the invitation, I don’t know if I can ask you to write a book for me, and I will take it with the chief historian, arrange carriages and horses, and personally pick up people to go to Fujian.”

Although a person like Mr. Beiling has his own temper, but the prince is so polite, he will naturally not put on airs.Then, after Mr. Beiling finished his book, the Fifth Prince started talking about the things in Fujian, and asked Mr. Beiling if there were famous scholars and scholars in Fujian. Fujian, it can be regarded as a famous family, but I have never heard of it." The old man's arrogance can be seen from this.It's such a huge Fujian land, but there is no one who can catch the old guy's eyes.Of course, Fujian is not a prosperous place, and this is also related.

It was raining lightly outside the window, and the rain in late autumn was a bit cold, hitting the yellow leaves in fine detail.The water on the tea stove was boiled, Mr. Beiling went to pick it up, the fifth prince took it up first, poured two cups of tea, Mr. Beiling held one cup in his palm, his eyes narrowed slightly, there was a hint of distantness in his eyes, for a long time, Beiling Mr. Ling Fang said, "Fujian, originally there were Fang and Qi families, they were regarded as wealthy families in Fujian. In the last years of the previous dynasty, the world was in chaos. It no longer exists. The Qi family heard that there are still some people."

The fifth prince was born in the royal family, and he knew a little about the British Gongfang family, and said, "The British Gongfang family has been a wealthy family in the imperial capital since the previous dynasty."

Mr. Beiling said, "His family has been a noble in the imperial capital since the Dafeng Dynasty, but the roots are in Fujian." When the word "roots" was mentioned, Mr. Beiling pointed to the tea table lightly.

The fifth prince nodded, "Sir, please continue." People are old and smart, why are there so many people crying and trying to get on the line of Mr. Beiling? This is the reason.The fifth prince was about to listen carefully, but he didn't want Mr. Beiling to say, "It's over."

The Fifth Prince has been dealing with Mr. Beiling these days, and he has developed a thick skin, and said, "I know very little about Fujian, Mr. travels around the world, and he is more knowledgeable than me." I want the old man to say a few more words, five The prince said, "The Qi family and the Fang family are listed together as the wealthy families of the previous dynasty, and there are some advantages in thinking about it."

"The Qi family started much later than the Fang family. The Qi family made its fortune in the previous dynasty. His family can be called together with the Fang family because the Qi family has three queens in a row and is a famous descendant. The rest, Needless to say." Mr. Beiling waved his hand and said in a low voice, "Things are done, not spoken. Talking is useless, talking is useless."

Mr. Beiling refused to say any more, and the fifth prince did not force it. The point is that reluctance is useless, so he told Mr. Beiling that the construction of the house in Nanshan was handed over to the fourth prince. He explained to the fourth prince how to build the house. up.Ask Mr. Beiling if he is free tomorrow, and he and the Fourth Prince will come over to talk.Mr. Beiling said, "Your Highness must be busy these few days. When the Fourth Prince comes to Nanshan, it's okay to come and sit down."

The fifth prince talked again, then got up to leave.

Mr. Beiling is old and feels that time is running out, so he doesn't like to chat, and he doesn't stay very much, so he ordered Li Jiujiang to see off the guests.

When the fifth prince returned to the mansion, he also stopped by the fourth prince's mansion. The fourth prince was not at home, so he went back to his own home.Speaking to his wife that Fujian is the ancestral home of the former British Duke Fang's family, the Fifth Prince said, "If Mr. Beiling hadn't said it, I really don't know."

Xie Moru frowned and thought about it, then nodded slightly, "So that's how it is."

The Fifth Prince looked at his wife, and thanked Mo Ru, "It seems that it is not accidental that Your Highness entrusted Fujian. Your Highness has nothing to do with the Fang family, but my mother's surname is Fang. Your Highness is probably affected by me."

The fifth prince didn't like to hear this, so he squeezed his wife's hand and said, "What's the trouble? Since we are husband and wife, we should take care of everything together. If it's because of you, shouldn't we be separated?" How about going to Fujian to avoid suspicion?"

Xie Moru said, "The Sacred Heart is unpredictable. Back then, the British government was a crime of genocide, and the whole family should be punished according to the law. The British government in the imperial capital is easy to arrest, and it may not be certain that someone escapes from Fujian. If someone from the Fang family escapes, you Say, where can I escape to?"

The fifth prince said, "Jingjiang Palace?" How close is it?

"As long as King Jingjiang is not stupid, he will definitely take in Fang's family. He has a blood feud with the court and is still a fugitive. He is so loyal in Jingjiang." Xie Moru commented casually, saying, "It's also time for dinner. These days They are all busy, so I didn’t ask the children to come over for dinner.” He ordered Wisteria to call the children, and discussed with the Fifth Prince, “Da Lang Er Lang San Lang is older and can learn from Jiujiang. Sister Si Lang Wu Lang Xin is I'm a little sensible, and a little young. When I was in my mother's house, Mr. Ji, who taught me, was a female official from the palace. She was very knowledgeable. I thought, let's take Mr. Ji with me, and let Mr. Ji watch Shiro and the others, she has no students to teach in my natal family now."

The Fifth Prince said, "You are in charge."

Speaking of this, Xie Morufang said, "When the British government was liquidated, how many people were killed, how many people were escaped, and how many people were exiled, the Criminal Department should have a record. Your Highness told His Majesty to let the Criminal Department sort it out. There must be a number."

Usually, Xie Moru has excellent concentration, and she won't blink when the sky falls.Of course, even now, the fifth prince can't see anything wrong from his wife's face, but the fifth prince knows his wife well after being married for many years. Because Xie Moru is smart, his thoughts are very coherent, and his thoughts are rarely interrupted. .But at this time, Xie Moru actually wanted to talk about the child once before continuing to talk about the British government. The fifth prince could not see the sadness from her face, and knew that her mood was affected.

When the children came over, Xie Moru started to ask Dalang about his homework, and asked Shiro and Goro what he was playing today. He even brought the youngest Liulang. The appearance, eyebrows and eyes are the most similar to that of the fifth prince. Because the fifth prince didn't like Ling Xiao, he was quite indifferent to Liu Lang in the past, and he was persuaded by Xie Moru a few times, so he got better.But Concubine Su in the palace likes this grandson who resembles her son the most.

The whole family had a lively dinner. Seeing that Xie Moru was taking care of the children, the fifth prince did not eat much, so he gave Xie Moru a small vegetable with chopsticks. Xie Moru smiled, "I am not very hungry today, serve me a bowl of soup .”

The fifth prince served her a bowl of soup, Xie Moru took the soup and said, "When I talk about the British government, I think of my mother."

The Fifth Prince said, "Let's go and pay homage to our mother-in-law before we leave."

"Alright."

The fifth prince was eating, when the fourth prince came over, the fifth prince said, "Eat first, I have something to tell the fourth brother."

The fifth prince introduced Mr. Beiling to the fourth prince. The fourth prince was very happy, but he was worried that Mr. Beiling would not have a good temper. The fifth prince said, "It's just an old man. If you are free, just go there, first time you are born and second time you are familiar. I heard that there is something wrong in Daotang, fourth brother, you should take care of it, Mr. Beiling is also worrying at his age."

The fourth prince readily agreed.

Because the fifth prince had to pay homage to his mother-in-law, he had to go to the palace to inquire about the former British Duke with his father, so he was delayed for two more days.Emperor Mu Yuan heard his fifth son ask about the former British Duke, and his son also gave a reasonable explanation.However, when mentioning the former British family, Emperor Mu Yuan still gritted his teeth and said, "If you encounter the remnants of the Fang family, you don't have to show mercy."

The Fifth Prince said, "How dare they appear in front of me."

The fifth prince asked again, "So what, did you not do it very neatly at that time?"

Emperor Mu Yuan said, "After all, it's my aunt's in-law's family, she's always kind of tolerant. What's more, there's my uncle..."

The fifth prince gossiped, "Fang's son-in-law is not bad, is he?"

Emperor Mu Yuan sighed, quite disappointed, "It would be best to talk about my uncle." Hearing his father's tone, the fifth prince didn't feel comfortable asking any more.The fifth prince talked about offering sacrifices to his mother-in-law before leaving, and Emperor Mu Yuan's expression turned silent. Emperor Mu Yuan was silent for a moment and said, "Your wife must have told you."

"Yesterday I mentioned that the Fang family was originally from Fujian. The daughter-in-law thought of her mother-in-law. After we left, it would take several years to come back, so I wanted to see my mother-in-law before we left. From now on, we will not be in the imperial capital. Father, you go every year." Huangling, don’t forget to burn incense for my mother-in-law and put some offerings.” The fifth prince murmured, but Emperor Mu Yuan didn’t know what was going on in his heart, so he said with spirit, “Especially your daughter-in-law, if you meet For the Fang family, you make up your own mind, don't let the woman get in the way."

The fifth prince said, "My daughter-in-law doesn't know them, so how can she get affection? It can't be said that she is merciless."

Emperor Mu Yuan wanted to speak deeply, but because of his status, it was difficult to speak. Seeing the frank eyes of the fifth son, Emperor Mu Yuan was really worried.The fifth prince asked him quietly again, "Father, are you thinking of letting my daughter-in-law pretend to induce the remnants of the Fang family, and then I will wipe them out in one fell swoop."

Emperor Mu Yuan flashed his old waist. During these years in power, it was the first time that Emperor Mu Yuan encountered such an over-confessed person, and said, "You can handle the fiefdom yourself."

"My wife is not that kind of person."

"Okay, let's go to the Ministry of Punishment. I ordered Qin Tianjian to choose an auspicious day, and you all went to sacrifice Mrs. Wei."

"I've discussed it with my daughter-in-law, and I'll go tomorrow. Just do what you want."

Emperor Mu Yuan didn't say any more, and sent the fifth prince down.The fifth prince felt that his father still had affection for Princess Fusheng's family, but his father also hated the British government to the bone.The fifth prince wondered about his father's intentions, and went to visit his mother again, and told about the sacrifice to his mother-in-law tomorrow, Concubine Su said, "Sister Ruo Min has spirits underground, and she will protect you both."

After sacrificing Mrs. Wei and Princess Fusheng, the fifth prince and his party took a mighty motorcade and their own [-] personal guards to Fujian.
