Zhi Xuan

After Xi Yuanhou came down to court, he was furious, and the matter could not be concealed. Soon, both Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Mi got the news.

"[-] households?" Mrs. Yang was very surprised, and asked about the reason in detail, and immediately warned her two daughters to be cautious in words and deeds in the near future.

"Mother, why did brother act like this?" Yuan Tao asked puzzled.Although she is smart, she still doesn't understand the twists and turns in politics. She only sees the easing of relations between Marquis Xi Yuan and Zhi Xuan, but she doesn't see the intention behind it.

Mrs. Yang pondered for a while, and was about to explain it to her daughter, when suddenly a servant came outside the door to report that Mrs. Dao Mi begged to see the monarch, and was kicked out within half a minute after entering the palace.

"The monarch is furious, Mrs. Mi is grounded." The servants were unable to find out what was going on inside the hall, but only knew that Mrs. Mi entered the hall with a happy face, and was kicked out within a short while, with tears still hanging on her face, looking very embarrassed.

The waiter wanted to play tricks, but Mrs. Yang not only didn't smile, but also strictly ordered her not to mention another word.

"Everyone in my palace is not allowed to mention this matter again. If you are caught because of your tongue, no one else needs to do it. I will deal with it first." Mrs. Yang did not add insult to injury, but strictly ordered the people around her to shut up and not speak in private. Pass the message.If anyone dares to obey others, she will never be merciful.

"promise!"

The maids and servants in the hall all bowed down, and the servants outside the hall respectfully agreed.

Mrs. Yang seems gentle and docile, but in fact she is tough.Just like how she dealt with the servants around Yuan Ying, once her bottom line was touched, she would never let it go easily.It was this kind of temperament that made her completely overwhelm everyone.During the time when Mrs. Mi was the most favored, she didn't dare to provoke her easily.

The waiter didn't dare to take advantage of it any more, and quickly withdrew.

Mrs. Yang waved her maidservant away, leaving only two daughters.

The door was closed, Yuan Tao and Yuan Ying respectfully listened to their mother's instruction.Yuan Ying is still young, so she may not understand everything, but she still firmly remembers every word, which is deeply imprinted in her mind.

"You have to remember that the monarch's favor is important, but it is also the most unreliable. If you are not smart enough, you can learn more. If you can't learn, you can talk less and do less. At least you can save your life. Don't pretend to be smart like Mishi, so stupid that you will be hurt. loved ones."

"Dear?"

"Yes." Mrs. Yang looked at the two daughters and said softly, "Let's see, within two days, Young Master Kang will be punished again."

Yuan Tao and Yuan Ying looked at each other, out of trust in their mother, they did not doubt Mrs. Yang's words at all.It's just that I don't know how the monarch will punish Gong Zikang, should he continue to be locked up?The last time he was closed for one month, there was already a lot of discussion in the city. If he is locked up again, his reputation will definitely be ruined in the hearts of the Chinese people.

Things happened just as Mrs. Yang expected, after the court meeting the next day, Marquis Xiyuan issued a decree that the son Kang did not respect his father, and there were many complaints during the closed-door period, extremely rude!

Although Young Master Kang was not ordered to close the mansion again, the content of the decree was more severe than last time.

After the attendant who delivered the decree left, Young Master Kang sat in the room blankly, clenched his hand on the case, and suddenly lifted it and dropped it, making a blunt sound.

When the matter reached Mi Wu's ears, he couldn't help sighing, stopped Mi Ji who was about to get up, quickly wrote a letter, and sent someone to send it to Gongzi Kang's residence.

"Brother, why did you stop me?" Mi Ji was worried about Young Master Kang, but Mi Wu didn't allow him to visit the mansion, his words were inevitably filled with anger.

"If you go over at this time, it will add fuel to the fire." Mi Wu said.

Mi Ji gritted his back molars fiercely, and his voice almost came out from between his teeth: "It's all because of that stick!"

If Zhi Xuan hadn't quietly taken away five thousand common people, Marquis Xi Yuan would not have been so angry.Logically, Young Master Kang really suffered an unreasonable disaster.

"I asked for it." Mi Wu snorted coldly.

"Brother?"

"You really don't know why the monarch is angry?" Mi Wu said coldly, "Let me ask you, if you encounter such a thing, will you try to cover it up, or hope to be mentioned all the time?"

Mi Ji wanted to say that he didn't choose any of them, but directly arrested and dismembered them.Facing Shang Miwu's cold gaze, he gradually calmed down, knowing that his thoughts were absolutely impossible.

Because of the new army, Zhixuan and other clans have interests involved, which is why Xi Yuanhou was eager to bury the nail.

What Zhi Xuan did was indeed not small, no doubt he cut off a piece of meat from Marquis Xiyuan.But even if Marquis Xiyuan was determined to punish him, due to clan reasons, he couldn't go too far, let alone take back his fief and arrest him back to the Western Capital.

A few words of reprimand without pain or itching can bring nothing, but it will make the matter spread more widely.

If it is introduced to other vassal states and fulfills the reputation of Zhixuan Duozhi, Marquis Xiyuan will be reduced to a joke and be laughed at generously.For the monarch, it is far more serious than losing thousands of common people.

Since he couldn't deal with it, Marquis Xiyuan could only temporarily swallow this breath, let the matter pass quickly, and the less people remember it, the better.The obvious ostrich behavior is the only way to preserve the dignity of the monarch.

But some people do the opposite.

Knowing Mrs. Mi's behavior, Mi Wu immediately reprimanded her for being stupid.He was quite skeptical about how Mrs. Mi had lived in the Monarch's Mansion for 20 years.Could it be that Marquis Xiyuan didn't want Mi Shi to send another smart woman to save her?

He clearly remembered that his younger sister was not like this.

Perhaps it was the 20 years of doting that blindfolded her and completely spoiled her.

"There is no need to mention today's matter. Since the monarch's decree has been issued, Young Master Kang can only accept it. I will pass on a message to my younger sister, telling her to be more honest, and stop causing troubles with reckless actions."

Zhixuan's various actions awakened Miwu, allowing him to fully see the true temperament of Young Master Kang.Stupid and arrogant, irritable and arrogant, full of flaws everywhere, he will be caught at any time and anywhere.

He was very fortunate that Zhixuan came from Mrs. Liang, and he did not have the blood of the Xiyuan Kingdom clan.If not, Young Master Kang would be completely trampled underfoot without waiting until he grows up.

"Don't cause trouble in the near future, wait for the matter to pass before making plans." Mi Wu had a plan in mind, but he couldn't implement it because of Mrs. Mi's stupidity.We can only temporarily silence the drums and wait for the opportunity slowly.

Mi Ji understands Mi Wu's character, once he has made up his mind, he will never waver easily.

Mi Wu is stubborn. In the years since he became the patriarch, he has never made a mistake in his judgment, and the only time it fell on Zhi Xuan.

Now that Zhixuan is sealed, the two of them are far behind.Young Master Kang was repeatedly reprimanded, and his reputation was worrisome.Unless they dared to risk the displeasure of the world and push Gong Zikang to become the crown prince, otherwise they could only do what Mi Wu said and stay in hibernation temporarily to wait for the opportunity.

"Brother, I just listen to you."

The two brothers reached an agreement, and the next day at the court meeting, when Yang Hao made a sarcasm, but Mi Wu didn't mention it, Mi Ji actually endured it.

Seeing this, Su Hu's eyes narrowed slightly, expecting that the Mi brothers must have other motives for their tolerance, and in the next period of time, they will always send people to keep an eye on them.Fan Xu and Luan Hui also sent their own people to not let Mi's every move go unnoticed.

Liu Qing's actions could not be concealed from Marquis Xiyuan, and the court officials were also aware of it.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Liu Qing, while Zhi Xuan's various actions were left behind.

Zhi Xuan was completely unaware of the turbulent undercurrent in the Western Capital City.Under his leadership, the team of thousands of people went all the way north, getting closer and closer to Zhidi.

Due to the huge team, the speed will inevitably be slowed down.The original half-day journey is likely to be dragged on for a day or two or even longer.

A light rain came unexpectedly. After the rain stopped, a large number of mosquitoes appeared, and the bites on the body were painful and itchy. The frail children and the elderly were a little bit unbearable.

Knowing the situation, Zhi Xuan ordered the team to stop by the river to rest, and then asked the doctor Sang and the witch doctor if they could find herbs to repel insects nearby.The two answered in the affirmative, and Zhi Xuan immediately dispatched more than 20 slaves to them, asking them to find as many medicinal herbs as possible to distribute to everyone.

"Young master, don't worry, the servant will definitely do his best."

After the words fell, Doctor Sang and the witch doctor each took their slaves and searched along the river bank, and they harvested one after another.

When the two were looking for herbs, the servants and common people took turns to fetch water from the river and distribute it to the family members around them.

Zhixuan walked to the river, and the sparkling river surface sometimes had large splashes of water, which were fish schools going upstream.Near the shore, under the hanging grass blades, there are tangled black shadows.

Realizing what it was, Zhi Xuan immediately ordered someone to summon the government order, and he had something to explain.

"What are your orders, Young Master?" The magistrate trotted all the way, the beard on his chin still stained with water.

"Pass down the order to boil the water before drinking it. Children especially, must not drink raw water from the river." Zhixuan said.

Although the government order was puzzled, since Zhi Xuan gave the order, his tone was unquestionable, so he followed suit.

Soon, Zhi Xuan's order was conveyed,

"Young Master Xuan has ordered you to boil the water before drinking!"

Waiters weave through the line, making sure everyone hears orders.

The reactions of the people and the government order were exactly the same, they didn't understand why the river was so clear, why they couldn't drink it, instead wasting firewood to boil it.The slaves were even more puzzled, some of them even drank the muddy water, and the river water in front of them was hundreds of times better.

Doctor Sang and witch doctor came back with herbs, thought about the order, and were about to ask Zhi Xuan for advice, when there was a commotion by the river.

Zhi Xuan looked up and found two herds of wild horses on the other side of the river. One group had about a dozen horses, and the other group had more than a hundred horses.

The reason why everyone exclaimed was not because of the appearance of wild horses, but because the two groups of wild horses were biting each other while running, apparently in a melee.

Two robust stallions rushed to the front, less than two meters away from each other. At the same time, they stood up, neighing and stepping towards each other.

During the battle, a wild horse was clearly lost, with bloodstains on its neck and front legs.The other horse took advantage of the victory and pursued, chasing two or 300 meters in one breath until it completely drove the loser away.

The victorious wild horse returns triumphantly, the mane on its neck constantly shaking, comparable to the finest satin.

Due to the appearance of the new horse king, the two horse herds no longer fought each other, and soon formed a new horse herd.

"Young master, they are all good horses!"

The soldiers were envious and asked Zhi Xuan for instructions, hoping to cross the river.

Zhi Xuan was also very moved, and asked the soldier how sure he was.The latter clenched his fist and beat his chest, saying to himself: "Your Master orders, all of them must be taken down!"

"Good." Zhi Xuan also wanted to see the strength of these soldiers, and immediately ordered to take down this group of horses.

The river is very wide, the river is not deep, and there are stones exposed at the shallowest point, which is convenient for pedestrians to cross the river.

Soldiers don't need these, just wade directly into the water.Some strong common people were also summoned, holding sticks and ropes in their hands, and scattered around the periphery of the soldiers, blocking the way of the wild horses.

More than 300 soldiers were divided into several teams and surrounded the wild horses.

Some soldiers are good at riding horses, and they are the fastest. When approaching the horses, they waved out the ropes and ran towards the locked target.

The horses sensed that the situation was not good, and ran wildly under the leadership of the leading horse, trying to break through the encirclement.Soldiers and ordinary people stopped them again and again, and several of them accidentally fell down and were almost trampled by horseshoes.

Time passed by, and the physical strength of the wild horse and the soldier was rapidly depleting.

Finally, after a whistle, the three ropes were thrown out at the same time, tightly entrapping a maroon wild horse that was separated from the team.

The trapped horse neighed, and his companion immediately turned around to rescue him.

The scene fell into chaos for a while, and Zhi Xuan, who was watching on the other side of the river, was terrified.

In the chaos, the horses found a breakthrough, knocked down several ordinary people in succession, and rushed towards the other side of the river.

In the middle of the rush, the wild horses found that the direction was wrong, but the soldiers did not want to miss the opportunity, and quickly narrowed the encirclement, forcing the horses to huddle together.

Seeing his companions being trapped one after another, the leading horse fell into a rage and was caught by the rope around his neck. He erupted on the spot, dragged the soldier at the other end of the rope off his horse, and dragged him forward.

"Let go!" Seeing this scene, Zhi Xuan raised his voice immediately.

The soldier quickly let go and rolled on the ground for two weeks, suffering only minor injuries.

For some unknown reason, the wild horse with the rope around its neck neighed, ignored the soldier, turned around halfway, and rushed towards Zhixuan.

Seeing the wild horses running wildly, Zhi Xuan's first reaction was to draw his sword.Doctor Sang held him down, and the witch doctor took a step forward, towards the galloping wild horse, waved a handful of crushed herbs.

The herbs are scattered with the wind, and the green grass juice covers the head and neck of the wild horse.

In an instant, the wild horse neighed, and began to step forward continuously, shaking its neck vigorously, as if it was in great pain.

"Young master, it's now!"

Before Zhi Xuan could react, the pole of the horse had already been stuffed into his hand.The body reacted first, and the rope was thrown out with a wave of his hand.

The rope crossed the air and precisely wrapped around the wild horse's neck.The soldiers around rushed forward and subdued the irritable horse king together.

Losing the champion horse, the wild horses had no leader, and they were all taken down soon.

Excited by the harvest, everyone remembered Zhi Xuan's bravery and determination, and under the leadership of the government order, they cheered together.

"color!"

"The son is mighty!"

The cheers resounded across the river bank, alarming the foraging birds, fluttering their wings, and rolling across the sky like colorful clouds.
