reborn monarch

"Father! From my point of view, Mei Ziqi has betrayed you as a teacher, and has changed his name!"

Wen Jinli was sitting on the grand teacher's chair, his face sinking like water, and he was still holding the news from the people below, which said that after Mei Ziqi arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, Xie Jiuyuan not only greeted him with great fanfare, but even took the initiative to hand over Feng Weixiang to him for interrogation , and Mei Ziqi actually began to interrogate her seriously.

It wasn't so unexpected, but Wen Jinli's face was still quite ugly.

This is natural, Wen Jinli is not a stupid person, and will not be fooled by Emperor Qi Yuan's tricks.

Before Mei Ziqi came to Jiangnan, Wen Jinli personally recruited Mei Ziqi to Wenfu, asked about his health, and prepared various things for Mei Ziqi to go to Jiangnan. Mei Ziqi was so moved that she threw herself to the ground.

Wen Jinli is an old fox, he knows his favorite student like the back of his hand, he knows who Mei Ziqi is, to put it bluntly, it means "to be a bitch and set up a memorial archway", both to be strict Gao Sheng wanted to have a clean reputation, and Wen Jinli was happy to have such a protégé to show himself. Although he actually had a lot of dissatisfaction with Mei Ziqi, he never tried to temper him.

Regarding the Jiangnan imperial examination bribery case, if Emperor Qi Yuan asked Wen Jinli what he meant, he would definitely not let Mei Ziqi get involved in this matter. Unexpectedly, Emperor Qi Yuan directly ordered Mei Ziqi, so he had to start with Mei Ziqi.

The two talked about the master-student friendship well, and it was a matter of course. When Mei Ziqi was about to leave the mansion, Wen Jinli told Mei Ziqi to "check down carefully, and don't disappoint the expectations of the sage and the teacher", Mei Ziqi responded respectfully, nodded her head, met her eyes, and understood each other.

However, the bitch Mei Ziqi still wanted the memorial archway, and Feng Weixiang couldn't keep it.

Wen Jinli's only son, Wen Chongde, has never been able to see Mei Ziqi's dust-free appearance. Seeing his father get angry, he immediately acted out of righteous indignation, slapped the table and shouted, deliberately trying to provoke some suspicion.

"What are you shouting about!"

After all, Wen Jinli is Wen Jinli, once he drank, Wen Chongde didn't dare to say anything, only heard Wen Jinli dragged his voice and said: "I know Ziqi, he is kind, I'm afraid he won't be able to see Jiangnan Juzi. Sad and indignant, Feng Weixiang was interrogated. Alas, it is true that Feng Weixiang is too insignificant, and he is so tired that he is not good at being a human being."

Seeing that provocations were unsuccessful, Wen Chongde threw himself into Wen Jinli's liking again, and deliberately sighed: "Father! You are just too soft-hearted!"

Several counselors standing next to him also echoed, "Wen Xiangxiang cares about his disciples everywhere, it is really touching" "Wen Xiangzhen is a kind teacher", Wen Jinli was so happy when he said that, someone asked what to do next .

Wen Jin educated his son in a pretentious manner, but he didn't know that he was tricked by his son. At this time, he had enough acting, and told them: "Forget it, this matter will be done according to the son's schedule. Throw out Feng Weixiang, anyway It has nothing to do with us."

When he said this, it meant that Feng Weixiang had no real evidence of dealings with him. Everyone was relieved, and they scrambled to praise him before they dispersed.

Wen Jinli ran out of excuses and drove everyone out of the study, and then showed a fierce look, staring fiercely at the pen and ink on the table.

plum!son!Expect!

Emperor Qiyuan used Yangmou's move in this move.

He just knew what Mei Ziqi was, so he sent him to Jiangnan. In his reply to Xie Jiuyuan, except for two people who didn't understand "Let me handle it", he only reminded one sentence—" Those who try to catch fame will be burdened by fame."

So Xie Jiuyuan thought about it again and again, and welcomed Mei Ziqi into Jinling City with great fanfare, and then paraded Feng Weixiang all the way to the yamen of Jinling prefect where Mei Ziqi lived, and the people came out after hearing the news, and prepared their own gang of rotten eggs and rotten vegetables , Relying on the law and not blaming the public, use Feng Weixiang to practice his head.

Feng Weixiang was already carrying a heavy shackle, but now his face was flushed red, his veins were bulging, but unfortunately his mouth was gagged and he couldn't speak a word.

Arriving at the gate of the prefect's yamen in Jinling, as soon as Mei Ziqi appeared, Xie Jiuyuan respectfully saluted in front of the onlookers, and solemnly entrusted him: "Master Mei, Feng Weixiang, the suspect in Jiangnan bribery examination, will be handed over to your lord for interrogation. My lord is aware!"

Mei Ziqi was caught off guard by his play.

Mei Ziqi wanted to try to grab Feng Weixiang, but he didn't expect him to say, "This case is still inconclusive. Mr. Xie should treat Mr. Feng with courtesy. It seems inappropriate to put a heavy shackle on him." The onlookers glared at each other, almost being hit by an egg thrown from nowhere, and felt ashamed.

Xie Jiuyuan pushed Mei Ziqi to the cusp of the turmoil, but he was upright and awe-inspiring, and raised his voice: "Mr. Mei's words are wrong. According to the laws of Great Chu, important ministers commit the same crime as ordinary people. Suspects do not deserve to be treated with courtesy. Since Mr. Mei has been punished by His Majesty If you are sent down to rectify the name of the Jiangnan imperial examination, you don’t have to stick to these things, just boldly investigate the case.”

"Well said!" The people on the street applauded Xie Jiuyuan as if they were watching a play.

What a Xie Jiuyuan!The case was pushed to him to investigate, but Xie Jiuyuan and Emperor Qiyuan took over his reputation. Mei Ziqi was so angry that he could only grit his teeth and say "received education", and then put Feng Weixiang into the prison of Jinling Mansion.

After all, Mei Ziqi was entrusted by the teacher, and she was thinking of finding a breakthrough from Feng Weixiang.He personally went to prison for the first trial, and he understood two things in his heart.

One is that Feng Weixiang's arrogant idiot can be the governor of Zhejiang, and Wen Xiang really lives up to the reputation of "Wen Banchao".

The second is that he was destined to stumble over the Jiangnan bribery examination case this time, and Emperor Qiyuan teamed up with Xie Jiuyuan to trick him solidly and openly.

If he wanted to win Feng Weixiang, his own reputation had to be involved.

If Feng Weixiang is not recruited, Wen Xiang will definitely be dissatisfied with him.

Both the left and the right are endless troubles, whichever one he chooses, he will not be able to get out of it unscathed.What's even more hateful is that even if he doesn't choose left or right now, he will be criticized as a timid and timid person.

Mei Ziqi almost didn't spit out blood from the anger.

He interrogated Feng Weixiang for three days, had a secret meeting with Jia Siyuan on the fourth day, and took Wei Cai from Xie Jiuyuan on the fifth day. On the sixth day, he sent someone to lock up Wei Chengxiang, the head of the Wei family of Huai'an salt merchants.

On the seventh day, he was promoted to the court for trial. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he sent someone to invite Xie Jiuyuan, dragged the imperial edict down to the hall, and said to Xie Jiuyuan, "I am the same third rank as Xie Qinchao, but your majesty's imperial edict sent me to assist you." Envoy Xie Qin is handling the case, and this is the final trial, let envoy Xie Qin come."

"Lord Mei's recent interrogation has taken a lot of hard work. Since Lord Mei declined, I will have the audacity to go to court for trial," Xie Jiuyuan replied loudly.

Mei Ziqi gritted her back teeth and cupped her hands: "Please!"

Xie Jiuyuan, dressed in black imperial uniform, walked slowly up the high hall, and slapped the gavel after taking his seat: "Bring Jiangnan bribery suspect Feng Weixiang, the list-buyer Wei Cai, and Wei Chengxiang!"

Wei Cai confessed and wept bitterly.

Wei Chengxiang is also very regretful. He has been a salt merchant in Huai'an for more than ten years. His family was made in the middle of the late emperor. Taxes, although earning is still more stable than in the last years of the late emperor, but businessmen have more plans, and they always have to pay attention to the future.

He thought, if the descendants of scholars, farmers, businessmen and merchants are still businessmen, not only will they be inferior in status, but the money they earn will have to be eaten by these officials|officials?So he vigorously supported the children of the family to study, but there were no good seedlings for a while. At this time, Wei Cai came to the door and said that he had caught up with the governor of Zhejiang when he was listening to the music, and had a way to buy Chunwei.

Governor of Zhejiang, this is not a relationship that ordinary people can climb. Wei Cai is not reliable, and the idea of ​​buying a list is also bold, but as the saying goes, if Wei Cai can really go to high school, then their Huaian Wei family will also be in the future. People with back | background, at least, don't have to be yelled at by the little guards for money.

Another clansman was angered by the guards, Wei Chengxiang thought about it, and finally loaded the agreed huge amount of silver into a team of carriages overnight, and delivered it to Feng Weixiang's residence overnight in the name of salt inspection.

Feng Weixiang knew that Mei Ziqi was sent by Wen Xiang, and thought everything would be fine, but now he gritted his teeth and refused to admit it. After scolding Wei Cai and Wei Chengxiang, he clamored to get revenge on Xie Jiuyuan when he walked out of the lobby.

It wasn't until Su Wei brought out the Wei family's silver box found in his house that Feng Weixiang lost his temper and looked directly at Mei Ziqi.

Xie Jiuyuan made a decisive decision and sentenced Wei Cai and Wei Chengxiang to exile and search their homes. Wei Cai cried and rolled, and Wei Chengxiang passed out and was dragged out of the hall.

There was applause from the crowd of people crowded at the gate of the yamen to hear the trial.

It was Feng Weixiang's turn.

Xie Jiuyuan looked into the eyes of Feng Weixiang who was kneeling in the hall. Only then did Feng Weixiang know that disaster was imminent. He looked at Jia Siyuan, the prefect of Jinling. Jia Siyuan kept his head down and pretended to be deaf. Mei Ziqi actually turned her face away and didn't look at him!

Why didn't Mei Ziqi look at him, because Mei Ziqi would have to intercede for this idiot later, and asked Xie Jiuyuan to be punished lightly. After this pleading, Mei Ziqi's reputation would definitely be damaged.

But his action aroused Feng Weixiang's suspicion.

Thinking of the possibility of being thrown out as an abandoned child, Feng Weixiang immediately felt flustered, and recalled Xie Jiuyuan's categorical and cruel words that day, he was so frightened that he lost his position, and shouted hoarsely: "I just kept two boxes of money, the big ones are mine!" It has been sent to Wenxiang’s mansion! It’s not in my mansion! Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir, you have to check it out!”

Mei Ziqi was dumbfounded.How could there be such an idiot?At this time, what are the benefits of biting Wenxiang?Did he think that if he bit Wenxiang, he, Wenxiang's student, would try to save him?

The people at the gate of the yamen were also in an uproar.

Even Xie Jiuyuan was stunned.

After he reacted, Xie Jiuyuan slapped the gavel and shouted: "No noise is allowed in the courtroom! There are still some unknowns about the case, come here, press down the suspects before interrogating! Leave the courtroom!"

At this time, Mei Ziqi's mind turned a few turns, but he figured out how to force Xie Jiuyuan to let Feng Weixiang go.

He didn't believe it, Xie Jiuyuan dared to call Ban Wen Jinli openly!

At that time, it will be Xie Jiuyuan sent by Emperor Qiyuan who retreats before the battle, Wen Jinli who suppresses the case is Wen Jinli who has power over the court, and Feng Weixiang who breaks the law and escapes punishment. Can be remembered, what big stain can be left behind?

Mei Ziqi lifted the corner of her mouth into a smile, and exited the lobby of the prefect's yamen in Jinling.

Xie Jiuyuan withdrew from the church, and it happened that Wangcai was sent by Xie's mother to send a letter back, in which he strictly asked Xie Jingqing to take Xie Shishi back to Qingxi to visit relatives, otherwise, "don't come back in the future!".

Holding the letter paper, Xie Jingqing and Xie Shishi were stupefied, but Xie Jiuyuan was very moved.

He was worried that there would be a big change, and was worrying about how to send his uncle and nephew away. This letter from his mother was really timely.

Xie Jingqing had no choice but to pack his bags, took Xie Shishi into the carriage back to Qingxi, and left the city, Xie Jingqing also wanted to leave, staying only to make trouble for Xie Jiuyuan, so he pointed to the young children flying kites in the field to comfort Xie Shishi: "Think about it, when you get back to Qingxi, my uncle will take you to fly a kite."

"I'm worried about big brother." Xie Shiyi dragged his cheeks, his face was full of sadness. Seeing young children flying kites and reminiscing about the past, he sighed again, "Big brother also took me to fly kites before. Big brother is amazing."

Xie Jingqing refused to accept it: "Your father is good at flying kites. Your father taught two people, one is me and the other is your mother. I got the true biography of your father. I also taught your elder brother. I will teach you when I go back. You go and hook up little girls, one hook-up is sure."

Xie Shishi didn't care about his bragging, and became curious: "My father still teaches my mother to fly a kite?"

"That's right, you can't talk about it outside," Xie Jingqing whispered to him, "Xie's family members are all prudish, your father hadn't married your mother at the time, he said he took me to fly a kite, and he threw me away when he got to Butterfly Ridge Going to graze, pretending to meet with your mother by chance, flying a kite and being so happy, tsk."

Xie Shiyi yearned for it: "That's great."

The carriage rattled away, getting farther and farther away from Jinling City, and the spring was beautiful everywhere.

The sky over Jinling City is already covered with dark clouds.

Gu Zhen was lying in the East Nuan Pavilion, staring at the kite hanging on the wall that was similar to the previous life, as if he had returned to that year, he and Xie Jiuyuan already knew each other's intentions, but they always get together less and leave more.Wen Jinli was eager to control Jiangnan, so he recommended Xie Jiuyuan, who had just returned to Beijing for half a year, to be the governor of Jiangnan.

The parting was imminent, Xie Jiuyuan avoided people's eyes and ears, used a dark thread to sneak into the palace, and brought Gu Zhen to the deserted Tanlin Palace.

"Master Xie, what did you bring me to this side hall?"

At that time, he was a little awkward, angry that he had to go to Jiangnan to take up his post, and even more angry that he was not strong enough. In fact, he couldn't let go of anyone in Jiangnan except Xie Jiuyuan.

Xie Jiuyuan approached him, and said softly: "I was promoted to the governor of the south of the Yangtze River, and important officials in the borderlands are not allowed to enter Beijing without authorization. I will leave tomorrow. I don't know when I will see you again."

These words aroused Gu Zhen's feelings of parting, making it even more awkward.

"So?" He was embraced by Xie Jiuyuan unconsciously, but he still insisted on a provocative tone.

Xie Jiuyuan didn't care about his petty temper, and still replied gently: "So, I want to teach His Majesty how to release paper kites."

"Ridiculous! Why do I want to follow the example of children to release paper kites?" Gu Zhen's most taboo in his previous life was that others would make an issue of his age, for fear that others would look down on him, and he would not have any entertainment. This is a half-truth and half-fake question.

Xie Jiuyuan seemed a little embarrassed, and replied in a low voice: "My father once took my mother to let the kite go. My father said that when he saw my mother laughing, he decided at that time to make her so happy for the rest of his life."

"Gu Zhen, I want to see you happy once, don't frown all the time."

Emperor Qi Yuan buried his face in the pillow and no longer recalled his past life.

Envoy Xie Qin, the errands are so slow, when I return to the palace, let's see how I deal with you.

The author has something to say:
