Daily life of black skin cub's princess

61. The seven inches of the snake - When hitting a snake, you should hit the seven inches of ground.

The next day, the news that the second son of Youxiang's mansion committed suicide spread all over the streets and alleys. Some brothel girls were heartbroken because of this, and some people who had been bullied had a drink to relieve their hatred.But the strange thing is that the situation above the court is calm.

The ministers of the DPRK and China all had their own sources of information, and they all knew that Qiu Chengtian committed suicide in fear of crime, and no one dared to visit the door to express condolences.

On the contrary, Han Dang, who had put on Qiu Chao's face during the palace examination that day, swayed to the door. Originally, the housekeeper didn't want to let him in, but Han Dang was also the prime minister after all,? He squeezed himself into the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.

Han Dang glanced at the people in the courtyard and smiled: "The ministers have arrived even more complete than the early court."

This remark is heartbreaking.

A guilty adult smiled and said: "After all, we are also Zhuo Ming's uncle,? And the emperor hasn't pursued it yet." Zhuo Ming is Qiu Chengtian's name,? This is the name Qiu Chengtian used to make friends with Gao Hongyi before.

Han Dang was immediately happy: "You're right,? After all, we are also uncles,? So I shouldn't have announced this decree, but an uncle always has to see his nephew for the last time." After finishing speaking, Han Dang's face darkened, and he took out a roll of yellow scroll from his wide sleeve, "Accept the order."

All the ministers, look at me, I look at you, dare not say anything, Qiu Chao also came out, saw Han Dang and the imperial decree in Han Dang's hand, smiled wryly, and fell to his knees: "Criminal Qiu Chao accepts the order."

Han Dang slowly unfolded the imperial decree: "Following the heaven and carrying the emperor's edict: Qiu Chengtian, the second son of Qiu Chao, cheated in the imperial examination, bribed the examiner privately, murdered the examinee, and should be executed according to the law. Now that Qiu Chengtian committed suicide in fear of crime, his body was handed over to the Ministry of punishment for verification. Qiu Chao is not strict in teaching his son, he thinks about his mistakes behind closed doors, and leaves them to be punished."

Han Dang looked at Qiu Chao who was at a loss, and smiled: "Lord Qiu, why don't you accept the decree to thank you? The emperor thinks about your hard work for the society for many years. It is really a great kindness from the emperor."

Qiu Chao hurriedly kowtowed: "The guilty minister accepts the order, thank you Lord Long En." After speaking, he kowtowed three more times in the direction of the Forbidden City.

The housekeeper picked up Qiu Chao, and Qiu Chao tremblingly received the order. After receiving the imperial order, Qiu Chao saw Han Dang's smile as soon as he raised his head: "Master Qiu is very lucky. An ordinary official has such an unfilial son. It took off a layer of skin. Although Lord Qiu's son is not filial, but fortunately the emperor is wise and caring for the veteran, knowing that Lord Qiu must be ignorant, so he didn't get involved."

"According to Duke Han's auspicious words." Qiu Chao forced a smile, but the address had changed, "Why don't you sit in the study, Mr. Han?"

"Mr. Qiu, don't be too polite." Han Dang said with a smile, "The emperor has not deprived you of your official position, you are still the right minister, Mr. Qiu must not disappoint the emperor's good intentions."

After all, Han Dang didn't even look at Qiu Chao's face, he went straight forward and stopped in front of the divine case, staring at the word "Dian" in front of him for a long time.After a while, he took three sticks of incense from the table, lit them with a candle, bowed three times, and put them in the incense burner.Looking at the rising white smoke, Han Dang's face sank completely. Naturally, these three incense sticks were not for Qiu Chengtian, but for the nameless person who died in vain under the mask.

After Han Dang left, the people in the right minister's residence looked at each other. They all saw the shock in each other's eyes. The emperor didn't punish Qiu Chao in any real way?

But there was no trace of joy on Qiu Chao's face. Others thought he was still in the pain of bereavement, but Qiu Chao said in a deep voice: "My lords are here to express their condolences. It should be enough to have this blessing. My lords, please do as you please, I hope everyone will be happy with my poor hospitality."

Putting aside these polite words, Qiu Chao left, as if returning to the study.A few adults followed tacitly, while the others looked at each other again. The hosts have chased away the guests, and they should leave too.

Qiu Chao did indeed return to his study room. His sadness and desolation turned into anger the moment the study door closed, and he pushed all the books off the desk: "It's too deceitful!" The books were scattered all over the floor, and he leaned his hands on the edge of the table and panted heavily, "It's really deceiving!"

Those who entered the study with Qiu Chao were all Qiu Chao's confidantes and the core of Qiu's party. One of them persuaded: "Don't worry, Mr. Qiu, Han Dang will only be happy for a few days. Since the emperor didn't punish him, he must wait for this matter to pass. If you pass, you will rely heavily on Duke Qiu again."

"Idiot! What do you know?!" Qiu Chao turned around abruptly, saw the speaker clearly, then closed his eyes forcefully, took a deep breath, and tried to suppress the anger in his heart.

Angry, he raised his hand and pressed his temple.

The man also borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and supported Qiu Chao to sit on the chair: "Mr. Qiu, calm down. I'm not thinking well. Please correct me, Mr. Qiu."

"You don't understand Han Dang, an old man." Qiu Chao sighed, "Han Dang is not really an idiot. He usually pretends to be crazy and foolish, but he is actually the most cunning. He can come out like this today, of course he has learned the exact news. "

"But the emperor just asked you to think about your mistakes behind closed doors, and didn't offend you."

But Qiu Chao shook his head: "You don't understand the emperor..." At this point, Qiu Chao's words stopped abruptly, did he really understand it himself?

Qiu Chao was silent for a long time, his right hand kept turning two walnuts, and finally the walnuts stopped. He also raised his eyes to look at a few confidantes sitting in the room who are also ministers who can be named by the court, breaking the silence : "The emperor will definitely let me stay at home and contemplate for a period of time. I will definitely not be able to return to the court in a short time. Please remember one thing, you must never intercede for the dog, let alone me. Yang Shu..." Qiu Chao looked The man who got angry at him just now, this man is just over the age, although his official rank is not high in front of the officials, he is only the fifth rank.But he is a Hanlin bachelor, and his future is limitless.

Yang Shu got up quickly: "What orders does Mr. Qiu have?"

"You must enter the cabinet, even if you are at the bottom, you must be in the cabinet. At that time, someone will help you."

Ecstasy flashed across Yang Shu's eyes, but he restrained himself very well, bowed his head and said, "I would like to follow Qiu Gong's words."

……

"You don't plan to deal with Qiu Chao now? Why?" Under the sycamore tree in the East Palace, Wu Xun and Lu Xun sat at both ends of the chessboard. Wu Xun was a little puzzled when he heard the content of the imperial decree relayed by Lu Xun. The timing is right.

"Qiu Chengtian committed suicide in fear of crime." Lu Xi sighed, "Even if we expose Qiu Chengtian's golden cicada's escape, it doesn't matter how many people believe it, but it won't do much. If we can't catch him, even if we catch him It is also unlikely that he will accuse Qiu Chao."

Lu Xi reached out and grabbed a handful of sunspots in the chess pot, and scattered them on the chessboard: "All the people involved in Qiu Chengtian's case have been brought to justice, and the people in Dali Temple tried it overnight. They all said that they only had contact with Qiu Chengtian and had nothing to do with Qiu Chao. .”

Wu Xun nodded, but he still didn't quite understand: "Then why didn't Qiu Chao be punished at all? Even though the death penalty is inevitable, it should be possible to let him return to his hometown without letting him go to court. Hall."

Lu Xun smiled, and hooked his fingers at Wu Xun, Wu Xun leaned in Lu Xun's direction without knowing why, then Wu Xun's cheek was grabbed by his fingers, and pulled: "Why are you so cute? "

"Men and boys can't be called cute." Wu Xun was embarrassed, "but you can praise me for being brave."

Lu Xi: "..." If he hadn't known that Wu Xun was unlikely to have other intentions, he would have almost lost his mind.

"Cough." Lu Xi cleared his throat, and pulled back his thoughts that he had already run a hundred and eight thousand miles away, "If you hit a snake and hit seven inches, you might as well wait if you don't hit seven inches. I don't want him to die Returning to his hometown, the debt he owed for the sin he committed must be paid by death."

Wu Xun was stunned for a few seconds, but he quickly digested the information. He touched his chin: "The ruler must die. If he really only wants Qiu Chao's life, it should be easy."

Lu Xi sneered: "Actually, Qiu Chao is not scary, you have seen him before, he is a somewhat stupid old man, at best he is a bit cunning and cunning."

Wu Xun nodded.

Lu Xi continued: "The terrible thing is that his henchmen cannot be eradicated. Even if Qiu Chao is gone, there is still a huge community of interests among these people, and they are intertwined. If they act rashly, they will only be alerted, but What happens is out of control."

"Besides, it's not what I thought to give Qiu Chao an unwarranted charge. After all, Qiu Chao is an old official, and the common people don't think badly of him. If he is killed casually, rumors will spread everywhere. Falling down, the father was infamy for nothing."

Wu Xun suddenly realized, raised his hand to pick up a white piece, and stuffed it into Lu Xun's hand.

Lu Xi was a little puzzled, he clenched the white ball tightly, and the white ball in his palm seemed to be hot and hot at the moment because of Wu Xun's internal force.

"What does that mean?"

"I'll be with you." Wu Xun held all the sunspots in his hands, "I may not be as smart as you guys, and I can't think of many things that far, but I will be with you. I'm not afraid of history.

Shugongbi, if you have any embarrassing things in the future, I will help you. "

Lu Xi wanted to say something, but couldn't say it, his voice was a little hoarse, but his heart was as warm as that chess piece.

***

Fuzhong.

"Are you going to leave Beijing the next day?" Xu Zixiu lost his voice. He had just calmed down from the joy that Lu Li was safe and sound, and he also learned the news that Lu Li and Wu Xun would leave Beijing the next day.

"Well, we'll leave after the Chuanlu Ceremony is over and all the dust settles." Wu Xun smiled and bowed, "Congratulations to the No. [-] Scholar yet."

Xu Zixiu scratched the back of his head embarrassingly: "I took advantage of Liu Shao."

"You are the number one scholar hand-picked by the emperor." Lu Xi smiled, "If you are more modest, it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor."

Xu Zixiu quickly covered his mouth, and rolled his eyes: "So what happened that day, Sixth Young Master really escaped safely."

"Of course, otherwise, how could I stand here properly?" Lu Huan changed the subject, "After the ceremony of passing on to you, the emperor will definitely grant you an official position. Don't refuse it. If you have any ideas, it is better to discuss it with the emperor in private."

Xu Zixiu nodded with a half understanding.

"Actually, that may not be the case." Chen Jinyi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said, he bit a piece of dog's tail grass in his mouth at the moment, and looked sluggish, but Xu Zixiu gave him a glaring look: "Do you want to sit down?"

Chen Jinyi curled his lips, threw the dog's tail grass aside, and straightened his sitting posture: "Wu Shaoxia is the champion of martial arts, hasn't he been appointed as an official?"

Wu Xun patted himself on the chest, thinking that Xiaoxuan was really sharp. Xiaoxuan had already guessed that Xu Zixiu would tell Chen Jinyi what happened in the palace examination. Just because he appeared out of thin air in the palace examination, Chen Jinyi would definitely become suspicious.But Wu Xun has been tempered for a while, and his complexion did not change, and he said softly: "I didn't just go to play, I also have a mission."

what task?That was naturally ordered by the emperor.

Chen Jinyi squinted his eyes, looked at the two of them, and said nothing: "Tomorrow, the grand ceremony will be passed on, and the emperor will hold a banquet tonight. Zixiu can't get away, and you will leave early the next morning. Why don't I be the host? Tonight, the four of us Get drunk and rest, and do it for the two of you."

"Chen Shaoxia is so kind, I won't refuse, how about going to the biggest restaurant in the capital?" Lu Xie smiled, "Me and Xun'er couldn't have a good drink at that restaurant."

Wu Xun thought for a while, if Xiaojue was talking about Yunshangtian, he had the urge to change places, but they really didn't match up with that restaurant, and every time he went, he would meet some moths.

Although Chen Jinyi's salary for this month has not yet been paid, he has a lot of money in his own family, so he will not refuse, and although he is suspicious of Lu Xi, he is really grateful to these two people, so he naturally agrees.

Xu Zixiu was the only one who was worried, and he would rest when he was drunk, but what if he didn't know how to drink?

The author has something to say: the date of leaving Beijing has been arranged~

Little Heipi: Boys can't praise me for being cute, but you can praise me for being brave.
