Xue Panzhi's gossip red mansion

Xie was stunned by the emperor's question. In a flash, he had a lot of thoughts. Could it be that the father already knew the relationship between him and Pan'er, or was he dissatisfied with the relationship between himself and Pan'er all these years? The trust that has been unknowingly delivered in the correspondence between the children, or the actions of Pan'er in the case of Fuzhou and Shaozhou?

However, in front of the father, Xie Shi was distracted for a moment, not daring to delay for fear of revealing his emotions, and immediately replied, "Father and son have known each other for five or six years. Rescuing Erchen by the Jinling River was a good relationship, and the Xue family has developed better under his silent guidance these years, and he himself is a sincere person, so Erchen can say without regret that suspects don't need to employ others No doubt."

The emperor looked at Xie Shi's gaze, but he showed an inexplicable persistence. After looking at each other for a while, the emperor shook his head, "There is something wrong with what you said, the Xue family has been in contact with you earlier, they There is "sincerity" in your body, but it is the sincerity that is not ashamed of your heart, not the sincerity you said that you will never give up. One of the two is loyal to righteousness, and the other is loyal to you. Yes, I don't doubt you now, But if one day..."

The emperor didn't go any further. Today he abruptly pointed out that the relationship between Xun Shi and Xue Pan crossed the line. It was not a whim, but he finally felt tired. He had been sitting on this dragon chair for 55 years. Work hard and be full of ambition, and feel lonely when you reach the heights.

The outbreak of the Shaozhou incident became the last straw, breaking the conflict between him and the prince.Now even if his eldest son has no objection, the large group of people around him is too big to lose, and it will only make the prince fall into an infinite abyss.If he hadn't been vigilant this time, he would have been overwhelmed by Liang Tian's medicine extracted from those opium, and it is imperative to abolish the prince.

However, the abolition of the crown prince is just a piece of paper, but it affects the whole body. Looking at the sons behind him, it is Huan Chang who can be said to be able to take responsibility. One that can check and balance the situation.If the emperor hadn't gotten to know Xue Pan through Xie in these years, he would already be inclined to let Xie Chang succeed him.

However, the appearance of Xue Pan changed the things that had already been concluded.Because when observing this descendant of Xue Gong, the emperor gradually discovered the hidden problems of the Daqing Dynasty, whether it was the strangeness of Tsarist Russia to the north where Jia Zhu of the Jia family went, or the foreigners who were showing signs in the south now. Ambition, this seemingly peaceful situation, has already had an undercurrent.

The emperor wanted to say arrogantly that Daqing is a kingdom of heaven and would not be afraid of these barbarians, but the matter of opium alone was enough to make him vigilant.He faced the imperial court at a young age, and fought in many ways. This sense of crisis that only existed when he was young reappeared at this moment. He faintly felt that if he chose Xun Chang, he might be able to maintain peace for a hundred years, but after a hundred years, the world would collapse. .

The emperor has thought about it for a long time in the past few days, remembering that after the fourth prince passed away that year, he and Ping'er went out of the palace to relax in Dajue Temple, and they brought some important things with them.The Taoist priest I met said that his son had a catastrophe when he was 15 years old, but it was not a serious problem, because there would be someone who was destined to meet him and extend a helping hand.

But after that, the whole world will change because of their meeting, together with the other Seven Killing Stars, Daqing will be completely changed in the end.

In these years, because of this order, he has alienated this son, but he is not willing to part with Ping'er's last concern. Besides, it is rare for Xie to maintain a pure heart, which makes him feel a little bit of being a father in the coldness of imperial power supremacy. warmth.

The court and the world situation have developed to the point where today, the emperor must take the possibility of Xie Shi's accession into consideration.In fact, I don't even know whether Xun Shi should be sent to the capital to inspect Daqing, because the orders are being fulfilled one by one.Besides, from the perspective of an emperor, Xie might not have Xie Chang's affinity and accommodating means, but his unhesitating attitude is more suitable for this uncertain situation in Daqing.

What his successor needs is to divide those old forces, and cultivate new thinking that is different from the previous forces, to carry forward those that can be integrated with new things for improvement, and to completely knock down those rotten ones.All of this might not be possible for one person, but with the kid from the Xue family around, it might as well be empty talk.

This led to his uncertainty at the beginning, Xie was good everywhere, but he didn't care about many things, but he chose Xue Pan. Will the Xue family become a threat to the government in the future?Or one day, because of the imperial power, his son will say goodbye to the life he loves the most in his heart like he used to do.

However, the emperor didn't give Xun half of such complicated thoughts. He clenched the phoenix hairpin in his hand, and when he spoke, he had already made a decision that he was not sure about, "Okay, you are tired too, hurry up and go to the other side." Rest in the hall. Tomorrow morning, you will rush back to Shaozhou. The impact of opium this time is extremely bad, and they have the guts to control the imperial court officials between applause. This matter must be dealt with strictly. With my will, you go to Nanling send troops to surround those officials involved in the case, and none of them will be spared. Later, I will make another order. During this time, I will send Wei Heng to garrison Shaozhou. You must not let there be chaos there I heard that Wei Heng's youngest son, Wei Ruolan, is having a good time there, and I hope he can do well."

On the tenth day after they left, the emperor opened a court, sued the ancestral temple, read out the imperial edict to abolish the prince, and at the same time put the party headed by Liang Yan in prison, retried the Jiangnan dam case, and opened the Shaolin court. The big opium case in the state.The three major cases of the prince are listed, "being unfilial for a son, dishonest for a prince, forming a party for private interests without distinguishing right from wrong, being mad and easy to become sick, and not getting the hearts of the people, how can you entrust it?" '

One stone stirred up a thousand layers of waves, and the entire Daqing Dynasty boiled.

In addition to this incident, what is even more shocking is the horror and tragedy caused by opium.In the coastal areas, especially in Guangdong and Fujian provinces, Wei Heng and Song Quan were respectively in charge, exposing the tragic situation of those opium smokers in the street.The tragic situation of those drug-addicted people in wooden cages who were neither human nor ghostly, gave Daqing a blow from the common people to the gentry.

Xie didn't think it wouldn't matter if he didn't investigate. Dozens of opium dens have already opened up behind closed doors during this investigation.So the central government issued a decree that anyone who had secretly traded in these places, the seller would confiscate the home of the three clans, and the buyer would, depending on the circumstances, disqualify them from obtaining fame within three generations.

Of course, there were voices from the people who said that this was too harsh, but in front of the sad scenes of skeletons displayed on the street, those tiny voices were overshadowed by the thought of cherishing one's own life.

Nowadays, the asking price for stealing and selling opium is not low, and it is still a luxury. Therefore, most of the people who are implicated are the rich and powerful.In this day and age, there is nothing more terrifying than cutting off a person's future.

Waiting for the turmoil to come to an end, because the capital was not impacted by opium, everyone still slowly walked out of the aftermath of the abolition of the prince.After all, even without his direct participation, the mistakes made by the crown prince would not constitute too many books to record, but in the hearts of the courtiers and the common people, the era of the deposed crown prince has come to an end.

In contrast, which prince the emperor will choose to succeed to the throne has become a new focus of everyone. Unfortunately, the centralization of power is especially prestige today, and he is not someone who is influenced by courtiers.When the previous court failed to come up with a result, the prelude to the draft kicked off again.

The people below knew in their hearts that the emperor was getting old, and this draft was mainly for a few princes and royal family and nobles.Since there is still no word on who will inherit the great treasure, everyone can only bet as if they had chosen to leave.

Yuan Chun of Jia's Mansion is also at the age of the draft, and she has been waiting for this day for a long time. Although she said well in Jia's Mansion, she always looks forward to seeing the man of her dreams again.This kind of desire has been hidden deep in her heart for more than ten years. Many times she knows that it should not be done, but she always yearns for the prosperity in her old dreams.This time, she didn't want to wait in the palace for those years. It would be great if she could enter the third prince's mansion from the very beginning.She was also seven or eight years younger than in the dream, so she could have taken a place in the third prince's heart before he proclaimed himself emperor.

Tomorrow she will enter the palace to participate in the election, Madam Wang is also a little excited, she thinks her daughter's prosperity and wealth are just around the corner.The old matriarch also revealed that once the prince fell, among the remaining princes, the third prince spent a long time in the court to deal with affairs, and the mothers of the sixth and eighth princes are now the most favored by the Holy One.For a while, I don't know which one to choose. "Yuanchun, mother knows that you have ideas in your heart. You should be more careful in the palace than at home. Our Jia family is very popular in the capital. Maybe someone will be jealous of you. But those small troubles are all It's not as important as leaving a good impression on the emperor and the empresses."

Yuan Chun listened to Mrs. Wang talking about those insidious means again, reminding her that she must not soften her heart when necessary in the palace.Just after the last night, she entered the Forbidden City, looking forward to a better tomorrow.

However, Hongqiang Zhuwa kept innocence and hope aside, and once she stepped in, she couldn't help herself, even if she had had those old dreams.
