Dongchang needs talents like you

Above the Golden Temple.

"The surname of the people's daughter is Wang, with a single name and a poem. She was born in Weishui. She grew up with her mother in Yongji since she was a child..." Aunt Wang, no, after Wang Shi submitted the paper of appeal to the imperial court, she was in the hall. Natou bowed down, and began the accusation of weeping blood every word and every sentence.

She talked about other people's affairs, but what she thought about was her own experience.As is generally the case in the world, it is only the victim who can more easily understand another victim.

She will never let Zhao Wei go!

"... To protect the reputation of the girls involved in the case, Minnv did not write down their names in the pleadings, but Minnv can swear to God that the pleadings on the pleadings are absolutely true. If Your Majesty wants to ask in person, Minv You can also ask them to wear a fence on their heads, and go to the palace to play against each other face to face. The fifteen daughters of Chu land were all destroyed by the hands of the Zhao family's beasts, and I hope your majesty will clearly investigate!"

The new emperor was greatly shocked. At this point, he still did not associate Zhao Wei with the nephew of his confidant eunuch Sun Erba.

It's a huge difference in personality.One has a human face and animal heart in the pleadings, and the other is handsome in the mouth of Eunuch Sun, so how could they be the same person?The new emperor knew that Eunuch Sun's nephew was Zhao Wei, so he just thought it was the same name and surname.

Chu land was the vassal land of the new emperor before he ascended the throne. It is inconceivable that he has never heard of such a frenzied thing after he reigned in Chu land for more than ten years.While feeling that what happened in Chudi made his face dull, the new emperor couldn't help but wonder why he was blind and deaf back then, and was able to be deceived by such things until now.

Raping a woman is never a trivial matter, especially in an era where fame and integrity are valued.Women have to be judged, and men cannot escape guilt.For a person who values ​​etiquette and law like the new emperor, it is even more impossible to sit idly by.

"Who is this Zhao Wei?"

"Why can you cover the sky with one hand?"

"Not worthy of being human!"

Above the court hall, some ministers took the initiative to start laying the steps, naturally in order to sell face to the first assistant Wang Yang.

Wang Yang was as immobile as a mountain, standing in the first row of civil servants, he never turned his head to look at his aunt, for fear that he would lose control of his emotions in the next moment and ruin the aunt's affairs.

That's his girl who is as precious as pearls.

She was able to walk out of the grief firmly, choose revenge decisively, and stand in front of the court with dignity. This was her luck, and it was also his fault.It's adults like them who didn't protect the child well. He will never let her open her wounds again today and ask for a fair sacrifice in vain!

Wang Shi said loudly, pointing his sword at the villain: "This Zhao Wei is the nephew of Sun Erba, the eunuch who is in charge of the Imperial Horse Supervisor today!"

***

"And then?"

Nowadays, the hottest high-frequency words in and out of the palace are the three "Zhao Wei", "Wang Quan" and "Wang's Aunt".As soon as the drum was heard, it shocked the fourteen states.Now, no one still knows the story of how the aunt of the Wang family dared to sue Zhao Wei, the eunuch's nephew, for raping a fifteenth daughter of Chudi.

"What does this have to do with Wang Quan's death?" The young maid, propping her fleshy cheeks, tilted her head and asked the white-headed mother, "Didn't Your Majesty still investigate Wang Quan's death before? The two cases sound like It's completely irrelevant."

Mammy touched the girl's childish cheek lovingly: "Silly fellow."

In this palace, what could be a complete coincidence?If the parrot raised by Empress Jizan in Wan'an Palace is hoarse today, there may be no palace attendant in Empress Xixue in Changyang Palace tomorrow.Any outsider who saw these miscellaneous things would not feel that there should be any connection between them.But in fact, the two empresses may have fought in the air for many times. You planted me, and I doubted you. It will never stop.

"You should be more careful." The old mother began to teach life with her hands, and she only hoped that the little maid would stop asking such silly words.If you can't learn to grow mentally in the palace, then maybe you really have no chance to grow up.

Those who participated in Wang Quan's case are still in prison. Only Mrs. Wang was released early because of the incident.

"That Wang Quan wanted to do something wrong to her, she took revenge, she was not wrong!" The little maid was filled with righteous indignation, she clenched her fist and waved it in the air a few times.

This matter is indeed clear, clear, and beyond reproach.Since Aunt Wang's participation was not fatal, she was spared the pain of punishment.And what about Zhao Wei?He also participated in the case of Wang Quan, but was released directly from Qushui Villa that night.Now there is another case of him raping [-] daughters from a well-known land...

"Do you think there is nothing wrong here?"

The little palace maid nodded half-understood, she seemed to grasp the connection, but she didn't seem to have any, so she could only act like a baby: "Good mother, please take pity on me, to put it simply."

"It means that because the Wang family needs to curry favor with the eunuch grandson, Wang Quan probably took it on behalf of someone else." Mammy almost said directly that it was Zhao Wei who did something ugly to Mrs. Wang's family. "Aunt Wang found out that she took revenge on the wrong person, so she collected brand new evidence and came to seek revenge on the real murderer, understand?"

"Ah! That's how it is!" The little maid finally understood.

This is the current mainstream conjecture, because Wang Shi has no evidence related to himself, so he can only take revenge on Zhao Wei in other ways.

It is indeed very close to the truth.

Wen Chen was lying on top of the vermilion palace wall, heard this conversation clearly, he nodded secretly, it turned out that the time has come to this stage, sister Wang Shi has already become famous in the capital.

The boudoir name Wang Shi was given by Wang Yang, hoping that when she grows up, she will become a woman with a poetic and literary spirit.

She did it, even better than what Wang Yang expected.

No fear of wind and frost, stand upright.

It's a pity that in the early years, I was not very lucky and encountered Zhao Wei's catastrophe, but luck and misfortune depend on each other, and I survived, and my life was smooth.

The new emperor attaches great importance to Wang Shi's report. Although he also feels that such a high-profile woman is detrimental to his reputation, he has to say that Wang Shi's arrival is just right, and he has achieved his intention to make the case known to the world.From Zhao Wei being able to infer Wang Quan's case, he even made a bold guess, did Zhao Wei really not participate in the killing of Wang Quan?

If Zhao Wei really didn't do anything, why did Chi Ning immediately write a letter to plead guilty after hearing about Wang Shi's lawsuit?

Chi Ning's situation in the palace is very bad. Without the protection of his master and the loss of his sacred heart, it's hard to say that anyone can step on it. At least he can't offend Sun Erba just to uphold justice. of.The new emperor thought that he knew Chi Ning very well, and he valued his own life more than anything else.

It is only possible that Chi Ning shut up so neatly because Sun Erba and Zhao Wei were really involved.

If these are true, then there is something in Wang Quan's case that needs to be re-studied.The new emperor looked at the case file in his hand and understood the clue.Who hit Wang Quan on the head?Why was Zhao Wei not mentioned in the case from the beginning to the end?Is it possible that it was actually Zhao Wei who killed people and silenced them, while the others were just covering up to make the law not blame the public?

Soul torture one by one, just like this, made the new emperor sleepless.He was also a little annoyed that Mrs. Wang made such a big fuss and made him unable to end it.

No, no, he shouldn't think so.

The new emperor forced himself to stop at this step, and he changed his mind to trace the source. All of this should be Zhao Wei's fault. If he was not so lawless and unscrupulous, how could he make me feel ashamed ?That's right, it's all the bastard's fault!

On the second day, the new play that Qian Xiaoyu had arranged a long time ago was pushed to the new emperor by the hand of Zheng Meiren in the harem.

Zheng Meiren is Zheng Yingxuan when Chi Ning was organizing the marriage selection before, she used to pretend to be stupid, she was a green tea.When she was in Wujiang Mountain before entering the palace, she already got along with a group of small servants, her brothers and younger brothers recognized many of them, and now she is also the first among the servants.Later, in the prison of the Jingu Temple, she was tricked by Ji Ruxue and almost died tragically at the hands of Ji Zan, who was still obsessed. Fortunately, she was rescued by Chi Ning and Yuan Jun, and only then did she have her current fortune.

Zheng Meiren has always believed that the servants are her greatest help in the palace. Qian Xiaoyu took advantage of this and arranged for someone to recommend a play to Zheng Meiren.

Really. Singing.

Qian Xiaoyu's theater troupe was not raised for nothing.

Zheng Meiren really likes to listen to dramas recently, the two are cheap, everyone gets what they want.Accompanied by the new emperor, Zheng Meiren said delicately, "This time, it's a new play."

Most of the newcomers to the palace are not of high background, and their vision has not yet been piled up with real money. They are in the stage of wanting to enjoy all the things they have never enjoyed before after getting rich.And being able to listen to Kunqu opera singing at home is one of the imaginations of most ordinary people about the upper class.

Even storytellers like to say: Kunqu Opera, which is quoted from the classics, is an elegant thing that only the master of Juren can understand with the Four Books and Five Classics.

Therefore, even if the ladies in the palace don't like it, or don't understand it, they will insist on listening.Zheng Meiren is one of them. Her background is considered to be one of the lowest. She has a somewhat low self-esteem in her heart and always wants to do something. Even if she is said to be arty, she still hopes to look taller.

She often discusses opera with Xindi.

Although the new emperor was quite disdainful in his heart, he did not mean to deny the concubine's hobby.He really couldn't trust the old man in the palace now, so he turned to pay more attention to the new concubine who entered the palace, and was more tolerant.Pity her ignorance, love her deceitful.In other words, this is the inferiority of most men in the world, who always feel that women who are inexperienced and easy to master are good.

"What new drama?" Xindi asked Zheng Meiren with a smile.

"It's the first time for my concubine to hear it, and I want to share it with Your Majesty." This implies that all her first experiences were with the emperor.For the new emperor who is about to become the green hat king, such words really please him.

The emperor's hobbies are always spread faster than the wind in this palace. Although most people in the harem don't know the reason for the new emperor's change, they have already subconsciously moved closer to this hobby.Zheng Meiren, who likes to pretend to be innocent and innocent, is the most professional counterpart, and she uses this to overwhelm others, and she is about to stand out.

"Then listen." Xindi patted the beauty's hand and happily let the troupe start singing.

The well-dressed beauty on the stage bowed profusely, raised her orchid fingers, posed for a figure, and sang "Father Xuan can still be afraid of future generations, but a husband should not be young".This is a play adapted from Li Bai's poem, and the new emperor recognized it right away, and said to Zheng Meiren with a smile: "It seems that this is a story about bullying young people and being poor."

"Wow, Your Majesty is really knowledgeable, just listen to the beginning? It's amazing, even the concubine can't understand." No matter if you really don't understand or you don't understand, in short, just keep holding it. up.

A beauty's eyes are like autumn water, and she is always in love when she wants to speak.

Xinti is more useful.

The content of this new play is actually a very ordinary male protagonist's cool essay, which is very simple and rude, but it is eye-catching enough: the male protagonist, who is the bastard son of the family, was framed, kicked out of the school, and his fiancée called off the marriage. To the ridicule of the crowd.But in a twist of fate, he was accidentally called by Fairy Langhuan in his dream. Once he became the number one scholar in high school, he married the daughter-in-law of the prime minister's family.

Cool is really cool, but it has no connotation and no logic.

The new emperor also just took it for fun, listening casually, without delving into it.It wasn't until the end, when the man dealt with the servants who bullied him in the past, that he was touched.

The male protagonist scolded his servants for not seeing their mourning when his biological mother passed away, and only devoted himself to making money.

This made the new emperor suddenly think that after his mother and concubine committed suicide, he knelt on the mourning hall in a daze, alone and helpless, and when he was in a panic, he heard some palace people laughing at him. , When will his poor prince live?Fortunately, Sun Erba came into the palace wearing hemp and filial piety to comfort him, so the new emperor was not completely panicked.

For Xindi, this should obviously be a precious memory full of warmth and mutual support.But thinking about it now, did Sun Erba really have the sadness of losing his master and empress on his face at that time?It seems that there is no such thing.

Under Sun Erba's filial piety, he was still wearing silk and satin that eunuchs of his level at that time should not have worn.

The words that Sun Erba told him to encourage him to persevere, now tasted again, seemed to have changed.Sun Erba was not encouraging him to cheer up for him, but for himself, not wanting to lose his backer.

The new emperor also thought of Zhao Wei's plan that Wang Shi secretly told him, first insult her, then love her, and want to marry her... How is such a good plan different from what Sun Erba did back then?First let him hear others ridicule him, the polished prince, and then belatedly consoling him hypocritically, but he wants to show off before he wants to highlight himself.

How else could it be such a coincidence that he would hear those palace people laughing at him?

Is it Sun Erba...

The more Xindi thought about it, the more he felt uncomfortable.

Whether it's the scene in front of him or the beauty in his arms, there is no way to make Xindi feel happy again, only bitterness is left in his mouth.When he was a child, he always heard his father say that he was a lonely family, and the heights were bitter and cold. Today, he finally understood a thing or two.

***

After Chi Ning learned about Qian Xiaoyu's handwriting from Mr. Yuan, he couldn't help nodding, he learned it.There is the empress dowager in the front, and the palm prints in the back. You people have so many tricks.

How could the new emperor, a prince who grew up in a remote domain, be able to withstand this set of combined punches?

Chi Ning finally believed through and through that Qian Xiaoyu would definitely defeat Sun Erba.It's not how stupid Sun Erba is, but how terrifying Qian Xiaoyu's opponent is.

Eunuch Sun was not wronged at all.

[You thought that was it? 】Yuan Jun actually wants to say, you humans can play so many tricks, 【Qian Xiaoyu specializes in the harem, Wang Yang hasn't started to play yet. 】

【oh? ] Chi Ning thought that the methods of Mrs. Wang's family were already exerted by the Wang family, but it seems that this is not always the case.

After Wang Yang heard that Deng Tuzi who bullied his aunt was someone else and hadn't been punished, he sat up from the sick bed that day. His waist and legs didn't hurt anymore, and he could breathe in one breath. I have written five memorials in a row, full of high-spirited fighting spirit to fight against Eunuch Sun to the end.The testimony he provided to Mrs. Wang was just to hope that she could enjoy the fun of revenge herself.But what is a little Zhao Wei?Only by killing his backstage can he really get retribution!

As the chief assistant, Wang Yang's ups and downs in the officialdom for decades did not depend entirely on luck.He went off in person, that's really an expert who knows if there is one as soon as he makes a move.

It was the kind that was dug directly from the ancestral grave.

Wang Yang and Xia Shaojian Xiaxia, who was in charge of the Tianshujiao case in Dongchang, secretly made a secret for the new emperor.The strange angle and the treacherous way of thinking made the new emperor break out in a cold sweat before he finished reading the memorial.

[Actually, old man Wang only asked Xindi one question. 】Yuan Jun explained to Chi Ning what he saw.

【what is the problem? ] Chi Ning eagerly learns the tricks of the bosses. The experience of these predecessors is a treasure trove for him. He doesn't want to master it, but he wants to try to stand on the opposite side and see if he has anything The solution.

[Wang Yang asked the new emperor—where were they lurking in the palace before the remnants of the Tianshu sect entered the palace and pushed Wenchen into the water? 】

For Chi Ning and others, the imperial palace is just an imperial palace, but for the new emperor, this is the place where he lives and his home.Think about it in another way. You live in a parasitic blood-sucking insect that is hard to guard against. Do you think you will be afraid?

The new emperor was almost scared to death.

From this question, countless new questions can be derived.For example, did they enter the palace just to push Wen Chen into the water?Obviously impossible.So, what else did they do?Or are they preparing to do other things?

This is obviously Xiang Zhuang's sword dance, aimed at Pei Gong.

——Your Majesty, it is in danger.

Wang Yang only has four words, which is enough for the new emperor to completely bring emotions into him.

In the next two days, Wang Yang presented another memorial, as if telling the new emperor a serialized ghost story.According to Wang Yang's conjecture, this group of remnants of the Tianshu Sect probably wanted to use Wen Chen's accident as a raft to attract the new emperor and the empress dowager to fight each other, so that the empress dowager, in complete despair, made a final counterattack against the new emperor.

Then, how did the people taught by the Book of Heaven know about this intricate palace relationship?How long have they been lurking in the palace?

Due to Daqi's consistent policy, many things will not be told to the outside world, nor should outsiders know.Even the Beijing officials who are above the court and not close to the center of power think that the new emperor and Wen Chen are good uncles and nephews. The uncle will succeed to the throne first, and then pass it on to the nephew, and they are going to write a good story together.

Only a few people know the truth behind this.

So, who revealed this to the remnants of the Heavenly Book Sect?

In the memorial, Wang Yang directly excluded people from the Queen Mother and Chi Ning's family, because Wen Chen was their only hope, and they could not and dare not take Wen Chen to take risks.

This is not a question of whether you are brave or not, whether you can gamble or not, but that it is logically inconsistent.

The new emperor also agrees with Wang Yang's analysis, no matter how slanted the sword is, it will not be so slanted.Only when something happened to Wen Chen, this sowing of dissension could be successful.If nothing happened to Wen Chen, it would be a waste of effort.No matter how you think about it, it will not be beneficial to the queen mother and others, so the queen mother will not do it.

In other words, traitors appeared among those who supported the new emperor.

The new emperor's foundation is shallow, and he has only been in Beijing for a short time. In fact, he doesn't have many confidantes, and there are only a handful of people who can be used. It is an excellent judgment to investigate.The first thing that the new emperor thought of was eunuch Ma Wen.The matter between him and the queen has not been clarified yet, not to mention his outlaw Huang Sanniang who is directly related to the Tianshu Sect...

But, does Eunuch Ma really have such great energy?

Not really, right?

A single Qian Xiaoyu is enough to crush Eunuch Ma to death. The actual power in his hands is not great, otherwise he would not develop outwards and seek the power to arrest criminals.

The imperial palace is managed by Sun Erba of the Yumajian so to speak, it can be said that it is monolithic, unless the inside and outside cooperate, otherwise it is impossible.Wait, no, is it possible that the eunuch Sun, who guards the safety of the palace, was bribed, or was he harboring evil intentions from the beginning?

Once again, they returned to the central question—is Sun Erba really believable?

The new emperor couldn't help but count Sun Erba's actions in his mind.And when you hate someone, you can only recall his mistakes: Sun Erba dared to fool me at the funeral of his mother and concubine back then, and he didn't take me to heart at all.He also connects up and down, and he can seek a cabinet position for others by opening his mouth.Eunuch Ma, who had unequivocally stated that he would support a heavy sentence, changed his words, just because Sun Erba was afraid of hurting his nephew Zhao Wei, and wanted to close the case early... Doesn't this pile of things explain anything?

Eunuch Sun is the biggest backer related to Tianshu Sect!

He wants to usurp power and coerce the emperor to make the princes!

He is unfaithful!

When thinking of this, the new emperor's face was as pale as paper, he fell straight on the cold and hard dragon chair, opened his mouth several times, but couldn't make a sound.He just felt cold, very cold, cold to the bone.

Chi Ningyuan was in Dongchang, tsk tsk.

This kind of front and back attack, gradually defeated, really needs a tacit understanding.Qian Xiaoyu and Wang Yang are in a tit-for-tat, enemy-friend relationship, and they are too good at cooperating with each other.

From the perspective of Eunuch Sun, Chi Ning can only think of a way to turn around, and it is...

He worked harder to increase the bargaining chip on Wen Chen.

But trust is really a difficult thing to grasp, it is the strongest and most fragile thing in the world.Even if Chi Ning has the golden finger of Mr. Yuan, he can find out that there is a villain in advance, so as to prevent it from happening, he dare not guarantee that there will be no gap between him and Wen Chen.

Chi Ning couldn't help strolling to the East Palace again, listening to the history of the little prince and Li Shi's aesthetics, he interjected and asked Li Shimei to tell the prince something different based on the current situation.

This is actually the second time Wen Chen has heard the story of Wang Yang and Qian Xiaoyu teaming up to attack Sun Erba into the cabinet. They will always remember that companionship is for my own good."

But Chi Ning squatted down, leveled with the young prince, and said word by word:

"It is not so, my lord.

"I asked Shi Mei to tell this story to His Highness, hoping that His Highness can discern loyalty from traitors and not repeat the same mistakes.

"I also have selfish intentions, and sometimes tell lies. Your Highness can not pursue it because the water is so clear that there are no fish, but you must not be unclear or ignorant."

Chi Ning thought to himself, since trust is difficult to maintain, let's change the road.

He said to His Royal Highness: "Ming Jun will not allow people to be fooled like this, only people who do not have their own brains."

What people can never lose is the ability to think independently.The fault of the new emperor was that every step he took was arranged for him by others, and even the seeds of doubt were planted for him by others.The way to break the situation is so clear at a glance, as long as Wen Chen learns to think for himself and understands that deception is not terrible, but the purpose behind the deception is terrible, then there is nothing to worry about.

Because Chi Ning would never really hurt Wen Chen.

Wen Chen thought hard for a long, long time, but the idea of ​​understanding was that Lin Lin also hoped that I could be a wise king!
