A Thousand Hills

Chapter 349

When the Empress Dowager Hu was lying on the bed and asked Xie Moru to chant scriptures for her, the case of the Ning family was finally investigated. Emperor Mu Yuan copied the whole family of the Ning family without the slightest hesitation, even the Ning family's hometown in Sichuan. Pass.

The air of killing permeated the air of the imperial capital.

The Empress Dowager Zong Hu has never heard of it, but among the princes, grandchildren, princesses and princesses in the Wakai Mansion, who doesn't know why the Ning family came to the next place?Ning Yunzhong had just sent a letter asking Concubine Xie to go to recite scriptures, and within a few days, there was an accident in the Mausoleum of Mourning the Prince. The accident in the Mausoleum of Mourning the Prince was not considered a major case, but after the first trial by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Ning Yun was found out. Conspiracy against the grave crime, and then the whole family fell into it.

Whether there is any operation of the Eastern Palace here is only in everyone's guess, but even the eldest prince who was quite fond of spreading rumors when he was young said to the eldest princess at home, "In front of the emperor's grandmother, don't say anything about the princess. .”

The eldest prince concubine said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I know."

The eldest prince sighed, "This time, the fifth brother is serious." According to the eldest prince's understanding of his fifth younger brother, although his fifth younger brother is somewhat annoying, he is not a cruel person.If he hadn't been so angry, he probably wouldn't have dealt with the Ning family like this.

The First Prince's concubine deeply agrees with the First Prince's judgment.

The entire elite circle in the imperial capital is more cautious because of the fate of the Ning family. Even people like Li Xiang who are happy to see Princess Xie chant scriptures should think about it.Even if Ru Qingliu is the least afraid of death, he does not hesitate to die, but there is still the whole family.

The imperial court suddenly fell silent on the matter of whether Crown Princess Xie should recite the scriptures or not. Everyone seemed to have tacitly lost their memory collectively, as if they didn't remember this matter at all.

The East Palace department hoped that this matter would pass away. After all, the old people who followed the prince basically no one wanted to change the princess. , but also know the benefits of the princess.Every year, three festivals are rewarded, and the crown princess prepares all affordable and desirable things.There are also gifts for everyone's birthday.In addition, the female relatives of their family, the princess, will also meet every month to talk about things.Nobody does it better than the Dauphine.What's more, the relationship between the monarch and his ministers these years, the women in the family have already established a relationship with Concubine Xie, and if they change to another, can they have such a relationship?

Moreover, there is nothing wrong with the crown princess in her position as a princess, and she has done better than most princes and concubines.

If the Crown Princess was replaced because of her bloodline, the marriage was bestowed by His Majesty in the first place.Moreover, is there any problem with the lineage of the princess?Who dares to stand up and say that there is a problem with the princess's lineage!

The matrilineal lineage of the crown princess not only comes from the rebellious former British public family, but also the royal lineage of the emperor Shizu.

Seeing that things were about to pass, Queen Mother Hu suddenly became seriously ill.

This time it wasn't just pretending. She had a high fever and burned to the brink of death.Emperor Mu Yuan stopped his early court to serve the illness in the Palace of Mercy, so the crown prince naturally had to accompany his father to attend the illness.The serious illness of Empress Dowager Hu made the rumors released by Empress Dowager Hu more and more rampant.

Xie Moru still didn't say anything.

Fortunately, the crown prince is very capable in serving the sick in the Mercy Palace, he is almost non-stop, and he is better than his father in serving tea and water to serve soup and medicine.The main reason is that the crown prince has come step by step from the concubine prince, and Emperor Mu Yuan was born as the only prince of the Taizu. It is logical to be the prince and become the emperor. It can be said that Emperor Mu Yuan has been praised all his life.Even though he served as a saint and regent when he was young, for the young Emperor Mu Yuan, he spent most of his time studying and never learned to serve others.Therefore, in terms of serving people, Emperor Mu Yuan is really no better than the prince.

Moreover, Emperor Mu Yuan was also in his sixties, and the prince couldn't bear his father's fatigue, so most of the hard work was done by the prince.The crown prince also learned how to fool the queen mother without a teacher. After the queen mother had a high fever, she turned to cough and wheeze, and she was half dead. The queen mother asked, "Prince princess, can you pray for me?"

The crown prince said without any hesitation, "I've gone, seeing that the imperial grandmother's condition has improved a lot recently, it can be seen that the crown prince's blessing is very useful."

Empress Dowager Hu let go of her heart, and her body got better day by day.

The father and son had been busy in the Empress Dowager's palace for half a month. Empress Dowager Hu felt sorry for her son and grandson, and said, "I'm well now, cough cough cough... Even if I have some coughs, the decoction of Imperial Doctor Dou is still effective... ...You guys...cough cough cough...just get busy with business."

The court affairs could not be delayed. The father and son discussed it. Emperor Mu Yuan presided over the overall situation, and the prince stayed and continued to serve the Queen Mother Hu.The prince said, "It is estimated that Dr. Xia should be in the imperial capital. When Dr. Xia arrives, ask him to follow up with the emperor's grandmother, and the emperor's grandmother will recover from her illness."

Emperor Mu Yuan saw his son's filial piety in his eyes, patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Continue to hide the matter of the crown princess from your grandmother, and don't let her know."

The prince also agreed.

For a genius doctor like Xia Qingcheng, the royal family certainly hoped that Xia Qingcheng would stay in the Imperial Hospital, but Xia Qingcheng refused, saying that his medical skills were not yet mature and needed to be honed.Since Xia Qingcheng had just brought Emperor Mu Yuan back from the gate of hell at that time, and, after all, he was the disciple of Emperor Xue, and with Emperor Xue watching over him, the royal family didn't have the nerve to force him to stay.However, in order to express his gratitude to Xia Qingcheng, Emperor Mu Yuan sent him ten guards to protect Xia Qingcheng with him, and also gave Xia Qingcheng many conveniences, such as going to the government to pay a hundred taels of silver every time he went.Having said that, a doctor like Xia Qingcheng is really not short of money. He is famous now, and there are many people to entertain him everywhere. Maybe you can save your life.

Emperor Mu Yuan was afraid that this was the reason why he sent guards to Xia Qingcheng. In this way, on the one hand, he could ensure the safety of Miracle Doctor Xia, and on the other hand, he could also know the whereabouts of Miracle Doctor Xia. Call back for help.

Empress Dowager Hu's illness was fatal, but Emperor Mu Yuan was a filial son, so he naturally wanted to recommend the best doctor to his mother for diagnosis and treatment.

These days, the prince worked tirelessly to serve the sick in the Mercy Palace, which really softened Emperor Mu Yuan's heart.The emperor loved his sons and daughters a lot, and the crown prince was the best among them. He knew that if he didn't like it, he wouldn't make his son the heir apparent.For the son to serve so hard, one is because he is sincerely filial to his grandmother, and the other is because he is worried about Mrs. Xie.Although Emperor Mu Yuan had a mediocre impression of Xie Moru, his son valued affection and righteousness, which was not a fault.

A person with affection will not be affectionate and righteous to a certain person alone, he must be like this to everyone.

The prince is like this, Emperor Mu Yuan is already thinking, when the queen mother is safe, it is better to persuade the queen mother.What will happen in the future is the crown prince's concern.As for the dynasty for generations to come, Emperor Mu Yuan believed that as long as the crown prince was wise, the Xie family would not surpass the crown prince no matter how talented he was!

Emperor Mu Yuan thought about it all this way, but in the blink of an eye, a murder that shocked the court happened in the imperial capital!
The thing is like this, Empress Dowager Hu is half dead, even though Xie Moru refused to go to Jingxin Nunnery to recite scriptures, he had to make some gestures, so he invited Jiang Xingyun to Xishan Temple for a visit.Xie Moru and Master Wenxiu are old friends. They have been friends for nearly 30 years.

Originally, Xie Moru was in a very good mood. When he left here from Master Wenxiu, he pointed to the young monk beside Master Wenxiu and said with a smile, "I remember when I first came to your temple, Nianyuan was still a little novice next to Master Wenxiu. Now these Years later, he is also a famous eminent monk."

Master Wen Xiu said with a smile, "The length of time is only created by the mind. All the joys and sorrows are changed according to the situation."

Xie Moru nodded slightly, indicating that Master Wenxiu did not need to send it away.Master Wenxiu was old, so he stopped and asked Nianyuan to send Xie Moru and his party to the gate of the temple.

Xie Moru was in a good mood, he didn't sit in the sedan chair, but walked down the mountain with Jiang Xingyun, and when he passed Wanmei Palace, he went in and drank a cup of dark-scented tea made last year.The incident happened on Prince Street where the Fifth Prince's Mansion is located. This street was originally called Changning Street, but because it is where the Prince and Princess' Mansion is located, the common people also called it Prince Street.When the driver turned the corner and entered the huge white marble archway standing in front of Prince Street, a dozen or so officials in blue official robes ran out suddenly. Before the guard of honor in front could react, the team of officials knelt down on the ground. An official in Tsing Yi shouted loudly, "Your official, Li Mo, from the Imperial Academy, please help the Crown Princess if you have something to do."

The guard had no choice but to report back, Xie Moru showed no expression, Jiang Xingyun said to the guards outside, "The courtiers have something to do, go to the court and tell your Majesty, I have never seen anyone blocking the princess's performance in the street! Let them go back!"

These officials were not willing to leave, and the chief guard was not a vegetarian, so he immediately grabbed them, and Li Mo immediately shouted, "The military officer is bullying the civil servant!"

After waiting for a while, there was more and more noise outside.Jiang Xingyun lifted the curtain and got out of the car. When he got down, Jiang Xingyun laughed angrily. Several guards were scratched by several Hanlin, especially the chief guard, who was besieged.Jiang Xingyun yelled angrily, "You guys are so brave, you dare to attack the guards around the princess!" As he spoke, his figure moved like light smoke, followed by a few crisp sounds, and several officials who besieged the chief guard took a blow one by one slap.

It would be fine if it was the guards who beat the person, after all, these petty officials also attacked the guards.But the person who hit someone turned out to be a woman, and the petty officials covered their burning faces, and immediately became angry, especially when the first person jumped in front of Jiang Xingyun and said angrily, "Scholar can be killed, but not humiliated! Today, I was insulted by a woman like you! Even the Crown Princess, you have to give me an explanation!"

"Attacking the Crown Princess Yijia is tantamount to conspiracy, what do you want to explain! I have seen too many sensationalists like you!" Jiang Xingyun sneered, and let out a stern voice, "Go away!!"

Li Mo is actually not stupid. Although he doesn't recognize Jiang Xingyun, but seeing Jiang Xingyun wearing a gold crown and a jade belt around his waist, he knows that this woman should have some status.But right now, all those who have status are serving illnesses in the Mercy Palace, but after thinking about it, even though this woman has status, her status is not too high.After this analysis, Li Mo made up his mind, took a step forward, pointed at Jiang Xingyun and said, "I am the official seventh-rank censor of the imperial court. I have come here this time to report something important to the princess. Disrespect, do you know what crime it is!"

Recently, Jiang Xingyun felt uneasy because of Xie Moru's inability to be canonized as the crown princess.If Jiang Xingyun had a good personality, he would not be able to go to the battlefield for the time being. She saw that these villains stretched their fingers to her face, and kept tapping. Jiang Xingyun swiped his right hand on his waistband, followed by a cold light Like lightning flashing by, followed by a canopy of blood spurting out, Jiang Xingyun dodged and then put his toes on the shaft of the car, then sat back in the car, and said coldly, "Take down all the assassins!"

After these words fell to the ground, Li Mo's hand fell to the ground.

The few officials who came with Li Mo were all frightened, and the chief guard would not dare to act now, so he immediately tied up everyone and sent them to the Ministry of Punishment.As for Li Mo, he had already fainted from the pain.The head guard stopped the bleeding very kindly, and then poured cold water on him to wake him up. When he woke up, Li Mo howled in pain.He howled so badly that several of his accomplices turned pale when they heard it, the two were fighting, and they couldn't even speak clearly for a while.

They, they originally wanted to come here to plead with the Crown Princess, so that the Crown Princess would take care of the overall situation and go to the temple to recite scriptures for a few days.

However, why was he sent to the Ministry of Punishment before he could speak?

What, what can I do?

Xie Moru went to the mansion to change clothes, took the hot tea served by the maid and asked, "Who is it?"

"A villain." Jiang Xingyun said, "If it was someone else, I might not recognize it. This Li Mo was originally an old minister of Jingjiang. He met him when he was in Jingjiang. It is said that this person has long had the habit of pointing his fingers. Dare to point it in front of me, and see if he treats me like a persimmon."

Xie Moru also had a good memory, and said, "Oh, he was the first one among the courtiers to invite the crown prince. It seems that he wants to take advantage of the situation to make some limelight." Then, Xie Moru ordered, "Wisteria, take my post Come on. Let the second steward go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice and say that someone stopped my car in the street and attacked my guards, and asked the Ministry of Criminal Justice how to sentence me?"

If he chops his hand, he chops it up, Xie Moru didn't take it seriously at all, if there is anything he can't ask for a serious opinion of, he insists on stopping the driver in the street, obviously to make things big.Xie Moru is not stupid, how could he listen to what these officials say?I was really out of my mind, and came up with a trick to stop people in the street!
However, in terms of public opinion, Xie Moru can't be passive, instead she wants to take the first step and question all those who stand in the way!Also, the guards who were beaten are living evidence.

What a dizziness!
Even the big boss of Yushitai, Zuodu Yushi Tie Yushi, didn't have the slightest intention to save his subordinates. He did such a thing behind his back and wanted to die by himself, and he didn't intend to go out to get people.Moreover, most of these people, like Li Mo, were descendants of Jingjiang.You said that once you surrendered, you still can't live in peace, what are you going to do by jumping around like this?
Also, people say that "artists are bold", so those who make foolish tricks are not small in courage!

As a foreign minister, it's not polite to stop the princess's car. The point is, you dare to hurt the guard of the prince's concubine. Now that your hand is chopped off, you still dare to come and cry. You are burning incense.Meeting Earl Jiang was nothing more than having his hands chopped off to annoy the Crown Princess, fearing that he would die now.

It has to be said that the Crown Princess is worthy of being born in the Minister's Mansion of the Ministry of Punishment, and the timing is perfect at this time.Also, what Li Mo and the others said was fine, but they didn't mention anything serious, so Earl Jiang took care of it.

There is also Earl Jiang, this is a ruthless man who is honored for his military exploits, a weak scholar who plays tricks on Yushitai, you go to compete with someone with a sword, isn't this courting death?

Of course, Tie Yushi also had to say something, Earl Jiang, if you chop off people's hands or something, it's over.

Jiang Xingyun didn't realize that he was at fault. When Su Buyu took his subordinates to her mansion to inquire about the case, Jiang Xingyun said generously, "The villain at that time, he had to attack the guards of the Crown Princess and point his fingers at her. On my face, Mr. Su, you are a civil official, and you don't know much about martial arts. At least, in my opinion, if the assassin makes a desperate blow at such a distance, my own safety will be threatened. When I killed Zhao Yang, It's just a face-to-face meeting. If someone wants to kill me, I must defend myself. If self-defense is also wrong, then we officials will have to rely on people to kill us."

Su Buyu was not very willing to come, but because of his duties, Jiang Xingyun had a title, so he didn't want to go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, so he had to come in person as the servant of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.Su Buyu really didn't want to come, but that old fox Li Xiang would never come, and the other servant, the elder, was also in his early sixties, so the matter finally fell on Su Buyu.Su Buyu asked, "Earl Jiang should know that Li Hanlin is just a literati who can't lift his shoulders or his hands."

Jiang Xingyun said, "Which assassin would come here to fight with open swords and spears? Not to mention literati, when I was in the south of the Yangtze River, I saw eleven or twelve-year-old children who were assassins. According to Master Su, those were just Where is the child?"

Su Buyu hurriedly said, "I'm just asking, and Earl Lao Jiang will help me explain my doubts."

Jiang Xingyun waved his hand, "Your Majesty Su, you are being polite. The imperial capital has been at peace for a long time, and Lord Su has not been in war for a long time, so naturally he doesn't understand the danger of assassins. In my opinion, even the princess's guards are loose and tight. I have written As for the memorial of the "royal officials' travel escort arrangement", I will hand it in tomorrow. Even Mr. Su, you should bring a few capable servants with you when you go out. If you encounter someone kneeling and blocking the way and calling for injustice, don't just pass by yourself. Although this kind of assassination method is low-level, it is inevitable that someone will be fooled."

Jiang Xingyun gave Su Buyu a general education, the precautions for safe travel, and then sent Su Buyu and the others away.

Jiang Xingyun is really worthy of being the concubine of the Crown Princess Xie. The Princess Xie is good at preemptive strikes. Jiang Xingyun wrote a memorial to the court the next day, saying the importance of security work, and how dangerous this method of blocking people in the street is. In the world, as long as the person stopped shows a little kindness, the assassin will succeed in all likelihood.Jiang Xingyun pointed out that based on her observations in recent years, not to mention the officials in the court, even the security work of the prince and princess's guards has many loopholes, let alone the officials in the court.Therefore, Jiang Xingyun appeals to everyone to pay attention to security.Otherwise, if someone killed him one day, he would die in vain.

When Jiang Xingyun said this, many people felt that Earl Jiang would not be able to marry in his life.

Whoever dares to marry her, even if one day makes her unhappy, he can kill that unlucky man without doing anything himself.

Concubine Xie and Earl Jiang talked about the matter to Gao Dashang, and then the matter of Li Mo and other little censors passed away.So, Earl Jiang chopped off the hand of the imperial censor, but nothing happened.On the contrary, those little censors who stopped them were all dismissed from office in nine out of ten, and Li Mo, who took the lead, was also punished by being banned from being an official forever.Fortunately, Li Mo felt that he had lost his sacred heart, so he could still go to Jingjiang's old man to get some sympathy. The wound on his wrist was not healed, so he went to An Junwang to pay his respects.The king of the small county heard that Li Mo was coming, and said to the professor's husband, "This Mr. Li, I heard that he has long liked to point his finger at people. He even pointed at my father before. My father has a good temper and doesn't care about him. Now dare to go Refers to Earl Jiang, it’s because he didn’t find out about Earl Jiang’s temperament.” Instructing the servant beside him, “I’m studying, so I don’t want to interrupt. Give him 20 taels of silver and let him go.”

The Xiaojun King had no intention of offending the East Palace at all. He was young and knew that Earl Jiang and the Crown Princess were inseparable.

Such a bloody case that shocked the court passed away so calmly.

The consequence of this case is that when Jiang Xingyun travels, no one dares to appear within three meters of her.

After the case, it was heard that the second wife of the Ning family had also been escorted to the imperial capital.

Xie Moru made a small joke here, saying that he hadn't seen Xiao Tang for a few days, and Xiao Tang came to pay his respects. Although he was a foreign minister, the prince and his wife always looked at Xiao Tang as if they were juniors.From time to time, Xiao Tang would come to greet the Crown Princess, and when he heard that he was here and the Crown Princess was free, he asked him to come forward and speak.Xiao Tang said something about the imperial capital, "Miraculous doctor Xia has also come to the imperial capital."

Since Xia Qingcheng came, there was no need to worry about Empress Dowager Hu's illness.Xie Moru said, "This is good news."

Xiao Tang also thought it was true, and then asked Princess Xie about someone, Xiao Tang said, "It is said that Shen Hanlin of the Imperial Academy entrusted me, that is, the Shen Hanlin who runs the Jinshi Hall, does your mother know?"

Seeing the concubine nodded, Xiao Tang continued, "It was the niece of Shen Hanlin's hometown who came to the imperial capital before a Taoist priest entrusted Shen Hanlin's niece to bring something to a Mr. Xie. The address of the relative. I just say thank you, they are very famous, and you can find them by just asking around in the imperial capital. As a result, Shen Hanlin did not find out the address of Mr. Xie after asking for a long time. He entrusted this matter to me, I think That said, the most famous Xie family in the imperial capital is the Old Shangshu Mansion. I was busy a few days ago, so I forgot about it. Today I came here to pay my respects to your majesty. If someone is from the Shangshu Mansion, I think your mother will know it."

Concubine Xie has always been kind, and she was not annoyed by Xiao Tang looking for her, but asked, "Although I don't have an address, I have a name if I think about it." , I guessed it.Thinking about it, Yuemo was something that Fang's uncle asked He Xiangu to bring. Hearing what Xiao Tang said, it was probably for her grandfather.

"There is a first and last name, and the surname is Xie, but I haven't heard that the Xie family has a child with the word Mo." Xiao Tang said, "This Mr. Xie is like no other."

Even with the wisdom of Princess Xie, she didn't know what to say when facing Xiao Tang.

Xiao Tang, you are really good at asking questions!

You asked directly in front of Princess Xie!

Zi Teng, the personal servant of Princess Xie, glared at Xiao Tang, and reprimanded, "Look at Mr. Tang, you are becoming more and more outspoken. Your mouth is really..."

Princess Xie stopped Zi Teng's words, and said, "Xiao Tang doesn't know my name, and it wasn't on purpose." Princess Xie said to Xiao Tang who was still a little confused, "In that case, let Miss He give me something. bring it on."

Xiao Tang didn't react until he resigned from Princess Xie and went out. He waited until he left Wutong Courtyard where Princess Xie lived. ", then Xiao Tang screamed in pain and howled "Oh my god!" Then, his face turned into a big red cloth, and he ran out of the prince's mansion with a mournful face.

He, he is so ashamed!

This, this, it turns out that the name of the Crown Princess is Xie Moru!
He, he doesn't know at all!
He, he is so embarrassing la la la la la! ! !
