〖Emperor〗 Don't lose prosperity

After nightfall, while everyone was asleep, Xiao Zixian got up, adjusted his clothes, and prepared to go out.

Qing Ling also woke up from the dream, planning to follow her master.

Xiao Zixian laughed softly: "You want to go with me?"

Qing Ling rubbed his neck.

"That's fine, but you are not allowed to tell others about this matter, not even the young master."

Qing Ling nodded in agreement.

In fact, it doesn't speak at all, and no one can understand it.

After turning off the lights and leaving the inn, Xiao Zixian walked towards the West Lake.

At night, the beautiful scenery of the West Lake does not show its splendor, but is more gentle.

The small buildings not far away are exquisite and gorgeous, and a few glazed lamps are decorated outside, reflecting the simple and simple patterns.

The small building should have been built not long ago, and there are no traces of wind and frost.

Stopping in front of Xiaozhu's door, Xiao Zixian stopped for a long time, thinking about what to say later, before knocking on the door.

Soon, the door opened and it was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl who opened the door.

After seeing Xiao Zixian, he actually saluted him with the etiquette of the Western Regions, and said, "General Tagan, I'm finally waiting for you."

"You know me?"

"The general's prestige is known to everyone in Kai Ning."

The girl made way for him and said: "Master An Yao has been waiting for the general inside for a long time."

Xiao Zixian didn't say much, and walked in.

An Yao was dancing in the small building at this time, and it was another handsome young man who played the music for her.

This piece is also the Kaining national song from the Western Regions, called "Farewell".The melody is sad and desolate, and it seems a little frightened in this quiet night.

An Yao's red dress danced lightly, which was extremely dazzling even in the dark night.

The song stops, the dance stops.

The boy bowed and retreated holding the piano, without even raising his head.

An Yao smiled and said, "The general has been standing for a long time, please come and sit here."

Xiao Zixian sat across from her without doubting him.

An Yao brewed a cup of tea and said: "Drinking alcohol is not suitable at night, I hope the general doesn't mind a cup of clear tea."

Xiao Zixian had a special sense of weirdness.The An Yao in front of her eyes and the dead Kuerma were almost the same person, their movements and even their smiles were exactly the same.

"Are you a citizen of Kaining?"

"Of course, otherwise, how would I know the famous Tagan general?"

Xiao Zixian clenched his fists tightly, and the sternness that used to only appear on the battlefield floated on his brows at this moment, "What plan did Second Uncle make? What deal did you make with him?"

An Yao's heart trembled, as expected, this person in front of her was really not easy to mess with, even though she looked gentle, she was actually more terrifying than any ghost when she got angry.

"Don't be angry, general. There is a reason why Master Qiu Rong didn't tell the general. As far as we know, the general seems to be interested in the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, right?" An Yao lifted her eyes slightly and looked straight at him.

"This kind of thing is just your subjective conjecture, what does it have to do with me?"

"Then why didn't the general hurt Qingdi for three years while he was with him?"

Xiao Zixian slapped the table, with inexplicable irritability in his heart, and an angry look on his face, "I just want to know why they sent you here!"

An Yao squeezed her face and said: "General, don't doubt, my face is not made by disguise. If you don't believe me, you can come and check it yourself. After all, I should be related by blood. My mother said I am a collateral relative of the general's father, so my appearance is five points similar to the princess's. In addition, in the past five years, I have been eating her food, wearing her clothes, imitating her etiquette, and doing her makeup How can you not look like the princess?"

Xiao Zixian couldn't help being surprised, "Ku Wang, he predicted today would happen five years ago?"

Since King Kai Ningyu lost his most beloved daughter, his state began to appear paranoid, and sometimes he even had hallucinations, unable to distinguish reality from reality.Fortunately, after treatment, he has recovered a lot, but the death of Kurma has always made him sad, so the assassination fell on Xiao Zixian.

An Yao said: "General, the next step is to help me enter the palace."

"Why did you enter the palace?"

"Since the Qing Emperor is going to abdicate to let the virtuous, the general can't bear to do it, so he can only let An Yao take his place."

Abdicate to the virtuous?Xiao Zixian frowned, and it didn't take long to think of what she meant.

"It's getting late at night, the general should go back to rest first, otherwise it will be troublesome if Emperor Qing notices it. I hope the general will think about it when he enters the palace."

Xiao Zixian didn't stay long, turned around and left.

Qingling didn't even dare to bark at all. It didn't like the man in red, and always felt that anyone who offended its master was not a good person.

Returning to the inn in a hurry, Xiao Zixian felt that he would not sleep all night.

So he lit a lamp and thought about it carefully.

The second uncle may have changed his plan. If An Yao can enter the palace, something bad will happen to Emperor Qing. When Ye'er ascends the throne, and he is still young, the entire Xiao clan will already be the food of Kai Ning's belly.

Xiao Zixian was very contradictory about the assassination, otherwise he would not have done so far.Since Emperor Qing came to power, the Western Regions have been pacified, and he formulated the laws of the Western Regions so that all countries can coexist peacefully. From this point of view, he is a wise king.However, as a general of the Kaining Kingdom, how could he disobey his king's wishes.

It felt as if there were two voices arguing in his head, evenly matched, until Xiao Zixian couldn't help but press his temple.

It is rare to have both laws in the world, so we have to play by ear.Thinking of this relieved his headache.

……

During the day, all the books Xiao Zixian needed were placed on the table, and when the three children arrived, they would distribute a copy to them.

Su Ye asked: "Teacher, are we going to study?"

"Well, today we are going to learn etiquette."

Lin Yuxing closed the book and said, "We don't have classes, what are you asking us to do?"

"Although you are older than the young master, you still have to study literature and only practice martial arts, so I specially asked Ye Yi to practice martial arts with him on one day in the future, and follow me to classes on two days just like Ye Er .”

Lin Yuxing yawned, "I just said, why would you be so kind to let us sleep late, it turns out there is some other purpose.

In fact, when it comes to learning Chinese characters, Lin Yuxing has quite a headache.In the past, his father invited more than 30 wives for him at home, 29 of which were left by him in anger, and the remaining one was left crying by himself, which shows how stubborn he is.

Xiao Zixian said: "Practicing martial arts can enable you to learn skills, not to be bullied by others and to protect those around you. Learning literature can increase your knowledge so that you will not be deceived in the future."

Lin Yuxing also understands that today is different, if he wants to take revenge, then neither of them can be left behind, and Jun Nuo can't be worried.

Then, the closed book was opened again.

Xiao Zixian nodded with great satisfaction.

Su Ye looked at Shen Junnuo and said, "Arnuo, what if he can't see, teacher?"

This title was given by Ye Shuang a few days ago, the purpose of course is to deceive people and avoid unnecessary trouble.So they are called by their short names, one A Nuo and one A Yu.It sounded pretty smooth, and none of the parties objected.

Lin Yuxing looked at Su Ye dissatisfied, and gave him "Why are you looking so direct"!Then he said: "Jun Nuo never forgets, as long as he has read and said, he will never forget."

Su Ye looked at Shen Junnuo with admiration, and said, "Arnuo still has this ability? It's so amazing!"

Shen Junnuo said modestly: "Yu Xing's words are a bit exaggerated. I don't forget them by ear. It's just that blind people can hear more than ordinary people."

After the three of them were ready, Xiao Zixian also picked up the book and began to explain etiquette to them.

Mo Zi hid outside the door and peeked, praising Mr. Xiao's knowledge in his heart.

The person who came from behind patted him on the shoulder, which immediately made Mo Zi tremble and almost cried out.Looking back, it was Ye Shuang, and couldn't help punching him, "I'm going to die! Didn't you see that he was giving a lecture?"

Ye Shuang looked at the sky, "You also know that my wife is giving lectures?"

"Anyone with eyes can see." Mo Zi calmed down, "Whose student is Mr. Xiao? It feels amazing."

Ye Shuang nodded, "That's right, master, he's too..."

Ye Shuang quickly shut up, almost revealing her identity.

"Too what?" Mo Zi's ear tipped, and he was very interested seeing this secretive look.

"I mean Master, his level is more profound than the people in Tai Academy."

Mo Zi nodded in agreement.

Compared to Taiping in the inn, Chen Qiu in the official mansion was sweating profusely and flustered.The reason was because of the two men in front of them, what they were holding was Chen Qiu's Achilles' heel.

"Where did you guys find this booklet? Hurry up and return it to this official, and this official will spare your lives!"

Chen Qiu reached out to snatch the manual, but it disappeared from Chen Qiu's bed a few days ago, unexpectedly it fell into the hands of outsiders!

"Do you want us to expose your criminal evidence yourself, or do you want to resign from the official position and plead guilty?"

The man in front of him was graceful and luxurious, and his intimidation was so strong that Chen Qiu was so shocked that he didn't even dare to speak.

These two people are none other than Su Jiulian and Ye Yi.Because Xiao Zixian was going to teach several children at the inn, he only called Ye Yi.

Chen Qiu was originally flustered because of the booklet, but after hearing what he said, he calmed down again somehow.No matter how imposing this man is, after all, the government is his territory, how can the two of them do anything to him?

Therefore, Chen Qiu said angrily: "You have stolen the property of this official's case privately, and you are still talking nonsense. I will ask you again, will you pay it back? If you don't return it, then you will be impolite!"

Chen Qiu winked at the clerk next to him, they looked at each other, and drew out their knives one after another.

"presumptuous!"

In front of Su Jiulian, Ye Yihu raised the jade tablet in his hand, "Here is the holy driver, do you want to rebel?"

The tokens of the Qing Dynasty are divided into levels.The emperor is the highest ruler, and the jade medals used are jade; officials of the first to third ranks use gold tokens, officials of the third to seventh ranks use silver tokens; and those below the seventh rank use bronze medals.

Chen Qiu, who has been an official for many years, of course understands this thing, but he didn't react for a while, his lips trembled a few times.

The other yamen threw their knives and quickly knelt down.

After being stunned for a while, Chen Qiucai knelt down numbly.

Su Jiu asked repeatedly: "Are you convicted?"

"The lower official... the lower official was framed by others. The lower official has governed Hangzhou for several years, and never dared to neglect. Your Majesty, please be careful."

Su Jiulian turned to the first page, "Then the seal on it can also be imitated by others?"

Official seals are only held by officials. Even if Chen Qiu denies it, he will not escape the disaster if he gets a pair of official seals.

Now, Chen Qiu was completely speechless.

After dealing with Chen Qiu's matter, Su Jiulian and Ye Fang went back to the inn.

Ye Shuang ran over and asked, "It's already dinner time, where did you go and why are you only coming back now?"

Ye Yi whispered a few words to him, and by the way told him what Su Jiulian had ordered.

Ye Shuang's eyes lit up after hearing this, "This is easy to handle, let's talk to Mo Zi first, and the whole city will be settled within a day."

Mo Zi just came out with three children, and when he heard someone pronounce his name, he asked, "Who called me? Why did you call me?"

Ye Shuang cleared his throat, and then said in a low voice: "That bastard Chen Qiu has been arrested, and he is going to make his debut in three days' time."

Mo Zi's eyes widened, "What's wrong with this world? I just fell asleep, and it turned so much upside down all at once?"

Ye Shuang said that you heard correctly, Chen Qiu was really arrested.

"Who did that? Who has such a great ability? After all, Chen Qiu is also a high-ranking official."

Of course Ye Shuang would not be so stupid as to tell him the truth, he just said: "My young master knows the son of Master Liu in the court, and he is the one who helped to settle this time."

Mo Zi knew that they were rich people, but he didn't expect that someone in the court would become a corrupt official so easily?

Mo Zi couldn't help giving a thumbs up, and said: "Good job, I give you a thumbs up."

Lin Yuxing didn't say anything, but he was very happy in his heart.

When Ye Yiye and Ye Shuang took Mo Zi out to publicize the news of Chen Qiu's arrest, Xiao Zixian asked, "Why such a sentence?"

"The Prime Minister from the Right sent news yesterday that Chen Shi in the court has been investigated and dealt with. Chen Qiu has done a lot of misdeeds and killed many innocent people. He deserves to be punished for his crimes."

Xiao Zixian poured him a cup of tea, "Why didn't you inform me? I can go with you."

"You're teaching Ye'er, it's fine if I go, it's not a big deal."

Is it not a big deal to punish corrupt officials?In fact, what Xiao Zixian was most worried about was that Second Uncle would have some tricks with An Yao. If he stayed by Emperor Qing's side, Second Uncle might still have some scruples, so he wouldn't attack easily.

"Worrying about me?"

Xiao Zixian nodded naturally, "As a minister, he eats the king's salary and takes care of the king's worries. How can he not worry about the king's safety?"

Su Jiu pinched his drooping hair and said, "When will you stop treating me as your lord?"

Xiao Zixian just smiled and said nothing.
