Qingwen's Farming Notes [System]

After the turmoil last year, now Shui Rong has gradually faded out of everyone's sight, but the two who grew up together are not shy, and as usual, they often come to Beijing Palace to find Shui Rong to play together.

Coincidentally, just as Shui Rong walked out of the gate, Shui Jing led a horse and followed. The master and servant were just about to get on the horse, but they saw them approaching from afar.It was Feng Ziying and Wei Ruolan.

Two young men rode tall horses, and they rushed towards their faces with a heroic air. They all had faces like crowns of jade, but one of them was a little weaker.The frail man got off his horse, raised his hand to Shui Rong, and said, "Brother Rong, where are you going, but what happened to us two?"

Shui Rong put down the reins of the horse, and showed a bright smile: "You two brothers, please come in and talk."

Feng Ziying, who was riding on the horse, laughed and said, "It's just a coincidence. Since Big Brother Rong has already led the horse out, why don't you go out with my brother for a run around the city. Can Big Brother Rong do you a favor?"

"I'll stick to what I want, but I dare not ask my ears." After finishing speaking, Shui Rongli simply got on the horse, took the first step, pulled the rein, the horse's hooves were raised high, and the sound of galloping resounded on the wide and quiet avenue.

Feng Ziying waved his whip with a big laugh and followed. Wei Ruolan and Shui Jing, who were lagging behind, quickly got on their horses and followed closely behind.

A group of people came outside the city, Wei Ruolan led them to her own Zhuangzi, where the terrain is open and there is a martial arts training ground, which is very suitable for horse racing.

Feng Ziying got off her horse and shot a few arrows at a distant target by herself, sweating a lot, then she turned around and smiled at the others: "After riding a horse and shooting arrows, I feel much more at ease now."

Wei Ruolan thoughtfully handed him a sweat towel, and comforted him: "I've heard my father tell me about Uncle Feng. Don't worry, Uncle Feng has always been loyal. Others slandered the general."

Feng Ziying's father, Feng Tang, was a military general of the dynasty. He was upright and upright.A few days ago, because he was impeached by the royal censor, although the emperor suppressed the scriptures and did not respond, he couldn't help the ministers' discussions.In order to avoid suspicion these few days, Feng Tang asked for leave and stayed at home to thank guests behind closed doors.

Even Feng Ziying was reprimanded by her father when she went out to race horses today, so she naturally felt angry.

Seeing that the masters were going to talk about private matters, Shui Jing stepped aside with a wink, and watched from a distance, on the one hand watching out for them, not letting the servants easily come and disturb them.

Shui Rong picked up another bow and arrow beside the martial arts arena, weighed it with both hands a few times, walked down to the shooting range and stood still, his eyes calmly staring ahead, then he raised his hand, and the arrow shaft was gently placed on the bow and arrow to firmly hold it On the finger of his thumb, he pulled the bowstring with his other hand, and the strength in his arm tensed and then relaxed in an instant.The huge elastic force of the arrow bow sent the arrow out, pierced the air, and made a small chirping sound. With a "boom", it hit the red heart. The feathers on the tail of the arrow couldn't help the force, and trembled slightly.

"Okay," Feng Ziying shouted loudly, clapping his hands and exclaiming, "Brother Rong's skill is as extraordinary as it has been for ten years!"

Wei Ruolan also praised a few times, with a look of admiration.He is weak in health, and his family passed on poems and prose, but he himself likes these swords, horses, bows and arrows very much, but because of his poor health, he still forced his family to build this martial arts arena for him.

The Wei family not only had him as an only seedling, but they loved him as the youngest son, and naturally they all followed him. Afterwards, Wei's mother repeatedly told him to take care of his health and not to end easily.So most of the time this martial arts arena is idle, only when Shui Rong and Feng Ziying come, it will be open.As time passed, this Zhuangzi became a secret place for the three of them to meet privately.

Shui Rong retracted the arrow with a smile, and took a gentle look at Feng Ziying: "You don't have to worry too much about General Feng, Your Majesty knows it well."

"I even forgot, there is a famous man in front of the emperor beside me!" Feng Ziying joked nonchalantly, waving her hand and smiling, "I'm just an idler, I don't care about these crap things. Our brothers haven't seen each other for a while , I must have a good time today. I will take you to the temple to eat vegetarian food later. It is not an easy place to go, and you will want to swallow your tongues."

Shui Rong nodded slightly: "You just know what you have in mind." When he said this, his expression was gentle and his eyes were soft, which made people feel very comforted and comfortable, and Feng Ziying couldn't help but show gratitude.

"Is there any place in this capital that we don't know about?" Wei Ruolan was aroused by Feng Ziying's curiosity, and hurriedly asked Feng Ziying who was in a daze.

Feng Ziying regained her composure and smiled, wanting to tell the truth, her eyes gleaming: "Don't worry, you'll find out later. I'll bring a few more people for you to meet, and they're all rare and romantic people."

Wei Ruolan became more and more curious, but knew that Feng Ziying would not say anything, so he obediently stopped asking, stood aside, and let Shui Rong teach him his archery skills.

Shui Rong smiled calmly, although he was a few years older, but those who were willing to surround him and not shy about his identity were these two sons who were a few years younger than him.In fact, Shui Rong's status in this society is a bit embarrassing. He is in a special position. If the princes and ministers in the court get along with him, it will inevitably be a little awkward and they will not be able to get down. Most of the young people who are the same age as Shui Rong are still staying in the family of their ancestors. Under the shadows, they may still need to be reprimanded by their parents from time to time. Naturally, Su Rong can't talk to them about this kind of person.

Shui Rong is also happy with this, since he has made up his mind to be the emperor's lonely minister, he naturally has a little less interest in making friends with courtiers, and the relationship with several families that he has been friends with is also gradually weakened because his parents have passed away for many years. Cool down.People's feelings are all based on management. The more you move, the closer you get, and the more you don't move, the more and more alienated you will be.

Shui Rong looked at the two people who were shooting arrows on the field, but his mind was a little far away, and the words that the emperor summoned him in private a few days ago came to his mind.

The Holy Majesty's thoughts are deep and difficult to guess, but Shui Rong has a vague feeling in his heart that the forces of the Shangshengshang faction and the Supreme Emperor's faction in the imperial court are increasingly wrestling with each other.After the salt case last year, the two factions have completely torn off the mask of peaceful coexistence.The impeachment of General Shenwu this time was just a disaster for no reason, so the Holy Majesty pressed the order and kept it.

The pro-imperial faction is headed by Zhou Yuenlang, the father of Concubine Zhou, Minister of the Household Department.Zhou Shangshu was pushed to the cusp of the storm, and he was naturally miserable, but he knew that there was no way out, and even more so, his behavior became more and more aggressive, like another sharp knife in the emperor's hand.If Shui Rong is another sharp blade in the hands of the emperor, but he is a knife for killing people. Once it is drawn out of the sheath, blood will inevitably be seen. Naturally, the emperor will not use him easily in his heart.

This time, His Majesty said something very meaningful to Shui Rong.

"Have you been to the Eldest Princess' Mansion when you were young?" The emperor put down the imperial brush in his hand, and suddenly asked Shui Rong who was waiting quietly in the palace with his head bowed.

Seeing that the emperor had summoned him for a long time, Shui Rong put himself aside again, without saying a word.This meeting was finally willing to ask questions, but it raised a question that he couldn't figure out.

Huatou rolled around in his mind, and after some consideration, Shui Rong replied respectfully: "Reporting to the Holy Majesty, in my impression, the Eldest Princess celebrated her [-]th birthday that year, and my mother brought me to celebrate her birthday."

"Do you still remember that on the second day after your birthday, a major event happened at the Princess Mansion." The emperor stood up from the throne, walked to the window, and turned his back to Shui Rong, without any emotion in his voice.

Shui Rong hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to answer yes or no.

The emperor turned around, saw him frowning in embarrassment, and laughed: "When you are in trouble, you also have embarrassment. I thought that there is no problem to trouble you kid."

"My humble minister is stupid, thanks to the great love of the Holy One." Shui Rong slightly raised the corners of his lips, and a smile like a spring breeze appeared on his white face like jade.

"You kid is dishonest, you are stupid, and there will be no smart people in the world," the emperor said with a blush on his face, his eyes widening, "You are still questioning my vision!"

Shui Rong smiled faintly, his whole body was as motionless as a mountain, with a demeanor as silent as an abyss, but he said words begging for mercy that didn't match the expression on his face: "My minister is timid, hope the Holy Lord will show mercy, don't scare this minister."

The emperor laughed helplessly, and shook his head: "I really can't do anything with you. If your father is still alive, seeing your cunning appearance, he will probably be so angry that he will beat you up." Due to his temper, a trance expression rarely appeared on the emperor's face.

Shui Rong also put away his gag attitude, and the smile on his face also restrained a bit.

The emperor supported his forehead: "I was interrupted by you kid, and I forgot the business."

He sat back on the throne, his whole body frightened, and said to Shui Rong majestically: "I ordered you to investigate the case of the son-in-law taking poison ten years ago with all your strength, don't make any alarm..." The emperor hesitated for a moment, then paused.

Shui Rong knelt down and knelt down in the hall knowingly: "This minister understands that he must investigate the matter without alarming anyone."

The emperor showed a satisfied smile, but the upper half of his face was hidden in the shadows, half-illuminated.

The emperor waved his hand, and eunuch Xia led Shui Rong out of the imperial study.

For the past ten years, the door of the Eldest Princess Mansion has been closed tightly, and the Eldest Princess has also locked the door. As time goes by, it seems that all the upper-class families in the capital have chosen to forget the once prosperous and powerful Bell Ding Family, intentionally or unintentionally. Thank you.

The elders of the Xie family fought together with the founding emperor of the dynasty. The next two generations of the Xie family became princesses. Xie Jinyuan, the youngest son of the eldest princess, married Ji Ru, the beloved daughter of the crown prince at that time. The couple loved each other Unexpectedly, they gave birth to a daughter in the first year of marriage, and the two loved each other like jewels.Persevering flowers do not have a hundred days of redness, and good things do not last long.

On the day of Princess Dachang's 60th birthday, a scandal was exposed. Xie Jinyuan had an affair with the goddaughter brought by the old princess of Zhongwangfu.The next day, it was rumored that the promiscuous protagonist was changed, not Xie Jinyuan, but his father.Concubine Zhong's goddaughter was displeased with being humiliated and committed suicide. A group of people from Prince Zhong's mansion went to the emperor and asked him to uphold justice.Before the facts could be found out, news came from Xie's mansion that the son-in-law committed suicide by taking poison, and left a suicide note, saying that the son-in-law knew that he was drunk and had no intention of making a big mistake.

At that time, the Supreme Emperor had just abdicated, and the new emperor had not long since ascended the throne.When the new emperor heard about this, he was shocked, as if he had lost an arm.Afterwards, things became chaotic. Concubine Zhong's daughter failed to kill herself, so she stood up and accused Xie Jinyuan of being unfaithful and unfilial, and asked her old father to take the blame for him. The adulterer will not be punished, and the dead will never rest in peace.As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar. Under pressure, the emperor could only demote Xie Jinyuan to a white body, and sent him into exile in Lingnan, and he was not allowed to return to the capital for life.

Concubine Zhong's goddaughter soon became a monk, far away from the capital, and never appeared in this world again.Xie Jinyuan sent his wife Ji Ru to follow her husband reluctantly, and within a year, news came that both husband and wife had died.The Tai Tuo only had one beloved daughter, and under the blows of a white-haired man and a black-haired man, she fell ill and died suddenly.The emperor suddenly lost another arm.Since the time when the emperor was the crown prince, he had an unusual relationship with the Taifu. When the Taifu was going to be buried, the emperor was so hurt that he stopped court for three days.So the Supreme Emperor summoned the emperor and reprimanded him.

From the beginning to the end, the eldest princess did not cry or make trouble. Only after Xie Jinyuan was sentenced to exile, she went to the palace to meet the emperor, and then locked the gate of the princess mansion and imprisoned herself in that house.Since then, both the Ji family and the Xie family withdrew from the court and disappeared from the eyes of the world.

After ten years, the emperor finally wanted to thoroughly investigate the case of that year again.It's just that I don't know how many people are left at that time, and sometimes the belated truth is even more painful.
