Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 203 Negotiating Conditions with Dad

The land of Bashu is peaceful and happy, but the capital thousands of miles away is precarious.

In the first lunar month, there was a big change in the court, and the people in the capital rushed to tell each other.

"Have you heard? Ma Qi, a scholar in the Hall of Martial Arts, has been sent to prison!"

"Oh, God, isn't Fucha Maqi the first Manchurian University scholar? How could he be sent to prison? He understands it as an official. What bad things did he do to make the emperor so angry?"

"Hey~ What do you know~ Ma Qi joined forces with all the ministers to recommend the eighth prince as the prince, and the emperor got angry. I heard that he has listed many crimes against him, and he is only waiting to beheaded! But you also said just now Ma Qi is the most knowledgeable man among the Manchus. How could the emperor be willing to kill him? Although the emperor was so angry, he dismissed his official title, deprived him of the title of Grand Fellow of the Hall of Martial Arts, and deprived him of the hereditary title , In the end, didn’t he leave him alone and hand him over to the eighth elder brother to strictly control him? He said he was going to prison, but in my opinion, it looks like house arrest.”

"It seems that Ma Qi is not the only one, right? Didn't there be more than a dozen people in succession this time? It seems that there are uncle Guo Tong Guowei and fourth and fourteenth masters' uncle Al Ling..."

"My God... a while ago, I only dealt with officials at the bottom, why don't you even care about your own relatives now?"

"Why else? The emperor is so angry! But I don't understand. Could it be that the eighth elder brother can't be the prince? In terms of virtue, I think that among the emperor's many sons, the eighth elder brother is the first one. Why? The emperor will be so angry?"

"Shut up! I don't want to kill you?! The matter of the country should be discussed by ordinary people like you and me? The uncle of the country has angered the emperor. Little people like us, if we say a word or two, it is not pleasant. , I'm afraid there isn't even a whole body, so why are you so quick with your tongue?"

"Oh oh oh, yes yes... I dare not say it anymore, I dare not say it anymore."

……

There was another bloody storm in the capital, but for the Xue family, these news can be regarded as good news.Although Xue Hong studied and practiced martial arts behind closed doors, his father would always say that he knew about the rumors outside.

Only Xue Yi said with a red face: "It's all right this time, the emperor's attitude is so clear, I'm afraid there will be no chance for Ba Ye at all."

Xue Hong nodded: "It should be. Otherwise, officials like Tong Guowei and A Ling'a, the emperor would not move easily."

"Huh! It's polite to say it, Tong Guowei and A Ling, what good things? They are not clean under their hands. They act bolder because they are relatives of the emperor. However, although there have been impeachments by the censor in recent years, the emperor has They are all picked up high and put down gently, and now it is time to let them have a good taste."

Xue Hong deeply believed what Xue Yi said.Because these ministers were relatives of the emperor's family, even if they behaved improperly on weekdays, the emperor would not take it seriously. Most of the time, they just turned a blind eye and closed their eyes.This time, following the matter of recommending the eighth elder brother as the prince, the emperor was really angry, and turned out all the things that happened many years ago, and convicted many relatives in these countries.Thinking about it, these people might not die because of their status, but after this, their power will inevitably drop sharply. No wonder his father is very happy these days, which is indeed a good thing.

Xue Hongxin said, take advantage of her father's good mood, and strive for some benefits for herself.

"That...Father, the child has a merciless request, I wonder if the father can..."

"You kid, just say whatever you want, why are you so polite?"

Hehe, you're really in a good mood, you have to ask what's going on in your daily life, right?

"I'm very envious when I see my elder brother going out to practice. I don't know when I can go out to see the world again?"

"This……"

The Xue family has been in business for generations. In fact, Xue Yi does not agree with the education of shutting the children in the house like studying, but Xue Pan has been let out. If Xue Hong goes out again, I am afraid that Xue Wang will not be able to stop her tears. up.

"Father, can you just let me go out to practice and practice? I really envy my elder brother so much..."

Xue Yi shook his head: "You child, do you really think your brother is going out to play? He practices with Master Bai, gets up before dawn every day, endures hardships and suffers, eats and sleeps in the open, what is there to envy? Besides, you My elder brother can't study well, and it's helpless for my father to let him go out. You are different from him. Now our family is on the big boat of the fourth elder brother. As a father, you have to walk up and down the court and manage the caravan. Originally, you You have to keep an eye on the shops in the capital that my brother is in charge of. If you go out too, who will do these things at home? Even if your father and I have another son now, it will be too late."

"But……"

"Good boy, don't worry about it, your father knows your heart. How about this, if you can pass the exam, the father will allow you to go out and practice for three years, how about it?"

"Ju...Juren? Dad...you are making things difficult for others..."

Xue Hong's face was almost wrinkled into a bun.Just kidding, he can't wait to go out now, the father's words of praise directly shattered all Xue Hong's fantasies.It is not difficult for Xue Hong to test for talent, but it is another matter to test for Juren.

Originally, he had just passed the Tongsheng Examination at the age of eight, and even his husband, Zhang Tingyu and others said that he could not rush to take the imperial examination for the time being.Firstly, it would be the same blow if he fails the rank before the fire is ready. Secondly, Xue Hong is still young. Even if he has some amazing talents, he is not such a showman. , if you are lucky, you may be able to pass the Jinshi exam in one fell swoop, so don't rush it for a while.

Now Xue Yi's statement clearly meant that he was not allowed to go out, to test Juren?Emma, ​​how can it be done with the upper lip and the lower lip?
Xue Yi also knew that although this kid was smart, he was young after all, and he would not be able to pass the Juren exam for a while. When he passed the exam, he would have to wait three or four years at the earliest. By then, Xue Pan would have already experienced it. , The size of the home is appropriate and it should be able to arrange it.At that time, if this kid wants to go out for a stroll, it is not impossible.

Anyway, there is only one person who has a great reputation, even if he is an official, he will not be a high-ranking official. At that time, Xue Hong must seriously prepare for the Jinshi examination. Get rid of the name of merchant.

Xue Yi said with a smile: "Our little scholar is so smart, how can dad make it difficult for him? Dad believes that you can pass the exam, it's just a matter of time. You are also considerate and considerate of dad. At such a young age, although you I have already started to practice kung fu, but how can parents bear the heart of you wandering outside alone, you are the biggest hope of our Xue family, if you want to be a little eagle that flies out of the cage, you have to combine the actual situation, right?"
