Prince Consort

Lu Kuan's imprisonment caused an uproar in the New Party.

Lu Kuan lived in Yao's mansion, and Yao Dingyan was the first person to know about it.Yao Dingyan frowned, and was about to go into the palace to find Zhao Chongzhao's theory, but Yao Qingze held him back: "Father, His Majesty will put him in prison directly. I'm afraid there is a reason. It's not good for you to get involved like this."

Yao Dingyan was slightly taken aback, and turned to look at Yao Qingze, as if meeting him for the first time.Yao Qingze made people feel at ease since he was a child, and he didn't worry much when he was worried. As soon as Yao Qingze said this, Yao Dingyan suddenly realized that he was too neglectful to teach his son.

Yao Dingyan asked in a deep voice: "During this period of time, have you pretended to be close to Lu Kuan?"

Yao Qingze suddenly understood the meaning of Yao Ding's words, his face turned green and then pale, his lips moved again and again, and then he said: "Father, you are a person who wants to do great things, how can you give up all your previous efforts for him."

Yao Dingyan said: "I can understand that you didn't like Sanlang in the past. When young people don't have the time to compete? But this time, I thought you liked Lu Kuan." He looked solemnly, staring straight at Yao Qingze, "Did you know something?"

Of course Yao Qingze knew that as soon as he entered the palace today, Zhao Chongzhao yelled at Lu Kuan.The more he listened, the more frightened he became, his scalp became numb, and he quickly echoed and cursed a few times.If Yao Dingyan came forward to intercede again, not only would he not be able to stand in the Hanlin Academy in the future, Yao Dingyan himself would not be able to clean up the suspicion of "colluding against the party".

Under Yao Dingyan's gaze, Yao Qingze could only tell what he heard from Zhao Chongzhao.

Yao Qingze was quite fortunate: "Fortunately, His Majesty still believes in us."

Yao Dingyan: "..."

Yao Dingyan was too lazy to talk to Yao Qingze, and waved his hands to let Yao Qingze go about his own business.Yao Qingze felt that it was because Zhao Chongzhao didn't feel suspicious of them, but he didn't know that Zhao Chongzhao just wanted to use his mouth to convey these things back, so that he would not go to Gong Xingshi to question him again.

What they lost was invisible on the surface.

Xie Ze'an's blow was hard enough, so hard that he didn't even have a reason to fight back.

Not long after he said the words "Lu Kuan, my Yan Huiye", Lu Kuan was sent to prison directly, using the same reason that he couldn't intercede.Yao Dingyan had to suspect that Xie Ze'an did it on purpose. Xie Ze'an probably recognized Lu Kuan long ago, but he didn't tell him and Zhao Chongzhao. After he introduced Lu Kuan as his confidant and classified Lu Kuan as a party member, Xie Ze'an shot Lu Kuan to death. Life.

It was not only Lu Kuan who was imprisoned in the sky prison, but also Yao Dingyan's face and vision.

Yao Dingyan was extremely angry, so he sat down to study his calligraphy, but what he wrote in the letter was only four characters: "I am convinced."

Yao Dingyan stuffed the letter into an envelope and asked someone to deliver the letter to Xie's residence.Once Xie Jiyu left, only Xie Ze'an's family remained in the capital with the surname Xie.Seeing Yao Dingyan's extremely ugly face, the servant who took the order ran out quickly and went straight to Xie Ze'an's mansion.

Xie Ze'an was having lunch with others, and when he received the letter, he had a meal and asked the servant to accompany him to the study.After he opened the letter and read it, he smiled wryly, and asked if the servant Yao Dingyan was very angry.The servant shouldn't have leaked the affairs of the master, but Xie Zean and Yao Dingyan were very close in the past. Every time Xie Zean came to the mansion, Yao Dingyan would always be very happy, so hearing Xie Zean's question, the servant couldn't help but answer: "The official doesn't look very happy."

Xie Ze'an said, "Wait a minute, I'll write a letter to my husband."

Xie Ze'an wrote a very long letter, detailing his own considerations, including what Lu Kuan had done.He really wanted to lure the snake out of the hole and let Lu Kuan do more things, hoping to catch Lu Kuan's handle.At the beginning, he really didn't know much about Lu Kuan, he only thought that Lu Kuan was the defected servant of King Duan, and King Duan wanted to let Lu Kuan go, so he couldn't pursue it.Unexpectedly, King Duan was so soft-hearted that he hid such an important matter. Now that King Duan said it, he naturally had to tell Zhao Chongzhao.

At the end of the writing, Xie Zean made another old mistake, and couldn't help but add a sentence: "I am really jealous of Lu Kuan, and I want to be your Yan Hui too. But think about it or forget it, Yan Hui is too poor. It's too early to die..."

The servant took the letter back to Yao Dingyan.When Yao Dingyan saw the thick letter, he wanted to throw it aside, but he raised his hand and put it back, with a bit of gritted teeth on his face, he opened the letter and read it.

Looking at it, Yao Dingyan's brows relaxed.In this matter, Xie Zean really did nothing wrong.If Lu Kuan came to him and Zhao Chongzhao just because he was a member of Duan Wang's mansion, he would definitely not pay attention to it, and Zhao Chongzhao would definitely not care.Without any evidence in hand, Xie Zean only thought Xie Zean was maliciously slandering whatever he said.

Xie Zean's approach is exactly what he said when he taught Xie Zean to decide the case: don't make judgments, don't be impulsive, and speak after getting evidence.

When he saw the last sentence, Yao Dingyan frowned and became angry all of a sudden.I knew that this kid couldn't be serious for a long time, no, it was revealed later in the writing.

Yao Dingyan wrote a series of reprimands in one breath, and when the reply was finished, the anger suddenly disappeared.The long-lost feeling of familiarity returned to his heart, and Yao Dingyan suddenly realized that he and Xie Ze'an hadn't talked properly for a long time. He put aside the reply letter he wrote in a rage, and raised his pen to write another letter.

Xie's Mansion and Yao's Mansion were not far apart, servants ran back and forth between the two mansions.In the middle of the night, Yao Dingyan sat in his coat, looking at the thick stack of letters on the desk.

Xie Ze'an was reasoning with him, and he was also reasoning with Xie Ze'an. The two people's reasoning was not the same. They still held their own opinions as before, and no one could convince the other.Strangely, perhaps words were gentler than words, but he couldn't get angry this time.

Lu Kuan had ulterior motives, so what he said naturally discounted a bit.Yao Dingyan carefully reviewed the words in Xie Zean's letter, calmed down like never before, and thought about the useful things in it.

Yao Qingze saw the light in Yao Dingyan's study from a distance, and a look of jealousy flashed in his eyes.Today Yao Dingyan sent people so many times, how could he not know?

Xie Ze'an, Xie Ze'an again.What's so good about this guy?Just broke his father's arm, but his father is still making such a fuss with this guy!

Where is this guy?This guy's great-grandfather had just died, and he became famous through this "Book with the Great-Grandfather". He was clearly a fame seeker!

But everyone looked at him differently.

Yao Qingze returned to his yard, and his wife greeted him. Seeing his resentment, she couldn't help but asked with concern: "What's wrong?"

Yao Qingze was slightly relieved by the tenderness in his wife's eyes, and he patted the back of his wife's hand: "It's nothing, don't worry."

Yao Qingze's wife sighed and said, "I'm more worried because you're bored about everything."

Yao Qingze was moved in his heart.He didn't think much of Shen Jingqing before, but his heart is fleshy. Over the past few years, his wife has always been considerate and gentle, and his view of Shen Jingqing has also greatly changed.

Yao Qingze simply told about Lu Kuan.In front of his wife, he is not willing to reveal his jealousy towards Xie Zean, of course this part will not be mentioned.

After talking for a long time, the couple turned off the oil lamp and went to bed.

Yao Dingyan entered the palace the next day, and Xie Zean stood beside Zhao Chongzhao.

Xie Ze'an smiled at Yao Dingyan and narrowed his eyes.

Yao Dingyan: "..."

Yao Dingyan said bluntly: "Your Majesty, you said that you want to let Sanlang join the third division of the Regulations Department. I think it is inappropriate. After all, Sanlang's rank is too low."

When Xie Ze'an heard Yao Dingyan call him "Sanlang", his brows completely relaxed.

Zhao Chongzhao was not annoyed when he heard Yao Dingyan's objection. He said happily, "Sanlang said the same thing! Mr. Yao, what do you think of Fang Baocheng and Shen Cunzhong? Familiar. Shen Cunzhong has been in charge of the 'training school' area, and has contacts with officials from all over the country, so he can better grasp the "Law of Changes."

Yao Dingyan glanced at Xie Zean.Both of these two people have more or less connections with Xie Zean, so it doesn't take much to know that Xie Zean recommended them.But the reasoning of these two people was so ingenious that he couldn't give a reason for his rebuttal.But these two people are too assertive, I'm afraid it's hard to control...

Yao Dingyan hesitated a little.

Xie Ze'an called out, "Sir."

Yao Dingyan raised his head and looked at Xie Zean.The master and apprentice looked at each other in silence for a moment, and Yao Dingyan finally said, "It's okay for them to come in, but if they don't do well, the Department of Regulations and Regulations will not keep them."

Zhao Chongzhao consciously reconciled the relationship between Xie Zean and Yao Dingyan, overjoyed, and immediately agreed: "That's natural!"

Xie Zean was not so optimistic.Yao Dingyan agreed, but he didn't say what he would let Fang Baocheng and Shen Cunzhong do. If he could only sit on the bench, he would feel sorry for them.

Xie Ze'an excused himself to go back to Taichang Temple, and left the Imperial Study Room with Yao Dingyan.Zhengshitang and Taichang Temple are on the same side, so the two of them naturally went the same way.

Xie Ze'an stroked his train of thought, and couldn't help but speak: "Sir, Mr. Fang and Mr. Shen are both very powerful people."

Yao Dingyan glanced at him but didn't speak.

Xie Ze'an said solemnly: "I never wanted to hinder the implementation of the new law. I'm not telling lies. Mr. Fang and the others were all recommended by me to His Majesty, but they are indeed very suitable..."

Yao Dingyan said: "I know, you built the school just to prepare people who can use the new law."

Xie Ze settled down and looked at Yao Dingyan.

Yao Dingyan said: "If you promise me to mediate when I disagree with them, I will put them in the position you want."

Xie Ze'an knew that this was Yao Dingyan's biggest concession.He said: "If there is such a need, I will try my best to satisfy you, sir." After finishing speaking, he spared no effort to praise Fang Baocheng and Shen Cunzhong, "Don't worry, sir, Mr. Fang and the others always know how to judge the current situation. Back then, even the late emperor was very optimistic about them."

Yao Dingyan said: "You don't need to say such big words for them. Only the mules or horses come out to walk around."

Xie Ze'an laughed: "I think so too."
