reborn monarch

Roadside tea shed.

This is the only way to go to the west of Guizhou. Along the way, there are scattered tea sheds like this, for businessmen to rest, drink tea to moisten their throats, and talk nonsense for a while, and meeting by chance is also a joy.

At this time, the tea shed was so silent that it was depressing.

Because there were rare customers in the tea shed, a group of people who seemed to be either rich or noble, no one wanted to touch the mold of the nobles, the common people who came and went fell silent, secretly stared at the group of people, not daring to speak loudly, Whispering.

Two handsome princes occupied a table, and half of their entourage and guards stood at the entrance of the tea shed and behind the noble, and the remaining half also occupied a table.

Those guards alone are all more respectable than the wealthy businessmen in the town, not to mention their masters, how noble do these two noblemen come from?

Looking carefully, one of the two noble sons is obviously very respectful to the other, and the one with a higher status seems to have a vague appearance of alien blood. There are very few foreign officials in Dachu. If this is the case, these people have a high probability It is not the official family, but the heir of the rich family.

The doctor of tea in the tea shed came forward to talk, and the young man who looked lower in status replied that their family was a horse dealer outside the customs, and he was a side branch, and this was the young master next to him, and the two traveled inland together. Dr. Cha heard that it was not an official post, so he relaxed his muscles immediately, laughed and stopped bothering him.

The news was secretly exchanged in the tea shed, and the silence in the air was reduced a lot. The tea guests couldn't help but gossip with the people around them in a low voice as usual.

It was King Yan Gu Wuji and his confidant Hai Ming who caught the attention of the people in the tea shed.

Both of them have kung fu, and their eyes and ears are sharper than ordinary people. At this time, when they heard the common people talk about the affairs of the court, they all listened attentively.

It wasn't until they were far away from the tea shed that the two couldn't help shaking their heads.

Ever since Wen Jinli revealed that he was a young son of a concubine, and even the news that Wen Chongde had been poisoned by love flowers, the folks have become less and less fond of Wen Jinli.

Recently, Wen Chongde seems to have the intention of reconciling with his old father, and he is accommodating to Wen Jinli in every possible way, but every time he goes to the Wenfu, he always leaves with a refreshed face and returns with a gray face. How can the people in the capital not pay attention to this point, rumors If Wen Chongde is said to be like the first filial son of Da Chu, then Wen Jinli is an even more wicked father.

Wen Jinli became very angry when he heard about it, and suspected that Wen Chongde was acting on purpose, but Wen Chongde explained that it was because his body was too weak due to the poison, and he had nothing to do.

After that, Wen Jinli's reputation for corrupting his personal morality and making things difficult for his son-in-law became more and more widespread, and it became even more disastrous.

After all, since the founding of the Great Chu State, it has followed the ancient system. After seven emperors, almost every emperor has preached Confucianism, etiquette and education to educate the people, so the rules of ethics and morality are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Sometimes, the powerful and powerful don’t care much, but the ordinary people follow it like the law , dare not violate it a little bit.

Correspondingly, they don't necessarily know how much Wen Xiang has contributed to Da Chu, and they don't know how much the Wen Party has done to Da Chu except for what they say is corruption | money-gathering.But when they learned that Wen Xiang welcomed the illegitimate son back to Wenfu, the subconsciousness of defending the etiquette made them spontaneously think that it was their responsibility to scold Wen Jinli for nothing. It is necessary to curse "old yin stick", otherwise, you will not be able to show your virtue.

Until today, Gu Wuji finally understands why the emperor's uncle has been worried about popularizing education and replacing Confucianism and etiquette with science, mathematics, literature and art. This experience made Gu Wuji understand the ignorance of ordinary people, and he is even more savvy about Gu Zhen's foresight. worship.

For the sake of Wen Xiang's heart, there were people from Wen Jinli among the guards, and it was inconvenient for them to talk, so they looked at each other and continued walking towards Qianxi.

They went to Qianxi this time to gain Yu Wen Jinli's trust, and they came here specially to frame Xie Shiyi.

After all, Wen Jinli is a cautious person, treason is a great crime to punish the nine clans, no matter how impatient Wen Jinli is, it is impossible for Gu Wuji to believe him just by listening to a few words from his mouth.The previous anxiety was not taken care of, and now the big plan is about to be implemented, so Wen Jinli naturally needs to see a clear proof.

As for the surrender that can satisfy Wen Jinli, Gu Wuji can only cut his own way and completely offend the imperial party, and nothing else will work.

So Gu Wuji took the initiative to propose a plan to mercilessly cheat Xie Jiuyuan's younger brother, Xie Guang.

This proposal cannot be said to be unflattering, but it cannot be said to be insincere either.

All over the world, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Xie Jiuyuan's power is in the hands of the ruling and opposition parties. This imperial party might be counted as Xie Jiuyuan and Emperor Qiyuan.Xie Jiuyuan also attached great importance to his younger brother, and Gu Wuji offered to offend him. No matter the success or failure of the grand plan, it would be worse than offending Emperor Qiyuan.

So Wen Jinli thought about it carefully, and felt very relieved, wishing Gu Wuji a smooth journey.

Gu Wuji originally wanted to communicate with Xie Shishi in advance, Xie Jiuyuan and Gu Zhensi deliberated, but decided not to, and did not want to increase the risk of Gu Wuji's dealing with Wen Xiang.

Wen Jinli has lost his left and right arms, but his ability is still not small. He didn't intervene explicitly, so he put King Yan into Emperor Qiyuan's inspection team to assess the popularization of education in various places, and he was in a single group, which was very convenient.Emperor Qi Yuan and Xie Jiuyuan were emotional for a while, and followed the traces to secretly trace Wen Jinli's hidden line in the court.

So King Yan took Haiming and the guards all the way westward. King Yan is King Yan after all. , the attitude is very respectful, but there is a clear distinction in terms of address.

Emperor Qiyuan appointed the King of Yan as his heir, but did not make any other decree to change the regulations and title of the King of Yan. Therefore, officials from both sides tried to figure out what they wanted. "Your Highness," it's rare that an unreliable official is in a dilemma, and he may offend Future Shangfeng anyway, so he simply pretended not to know, which saved Gu Wuji's trouble.

Being forced to plot against Xie Shishi, Gu Wuji was not in a good mood, and he couldn't show it, which made Haiming feel that his master was a little irritable, and Haiming, who was usually like a living monkey, served him cautiously all the way.

After finally entering Qianxi, they entered Xie Shishi's office under the banner of inspection, and the group was stunned on the spot.

"Oh my god, this is even poorer than the old master Qingtian in the drama." A guard sighed softly.

Although the others didn't say it clearly, they were all shocked by the shabbiness of the government office.

Generally speaking, no matter how poor a small place is, the government office is the face of the parents' officials. Even if the officials are free-spirited, the local gentry have to come forward to help with repairs. There are still tables and chairs for guests.

Xie Shishi is a very powerful government office. There are only three chairs in total, and they are not the same set. The two sides are made of bamboo and wood. Matching suits, it's almost like begging for food.The front office is in such a state of desperation, and the back office does not know what it is like.

Hearing that there were inspecting officials from the capital, Xie Shixi hurried back from the mountain where the reservoir was dug, and entered the government office without expecting to change his clothes. Except for his bright eyes, his face was covered with dust.He wasn't considered strong at all, but Gu Wuji seemed to have lost a lot of weight at a glance.

The whole group waited for a long time, Gu Wuji was not impatient at all, but some of the entourage thought they were smart, and wanted to show off for the master, and glared at Xie Shishi, who had a muddy leg and a dusty face, and shouted: "Master Xie is so great!" Guanwei, what should you do for making Prince Yan wait for a long time?"

Xie Shishi didn't even look at the entourage and turned a deaf ear to it. As a local official, Xie Shixi was tired of dealing with these difficulties at first, but now he has already practiced the best solution, that is, dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water, and they handle things according to the rules. In terms of the regulations, I don't care about anything else that can be ignored. Anyway, he has no money, and this poor place has no oil and water. Who are you afraid of?

I just didn't expect that it would be Gu Lan who came. Thinking about the farewell in the backyard of the palace that day, now Gu Lan has become an adult, with a word of no scruples, and she is indeed the heir of the Great Chu, and she has fulfilled the words of that day.Xie Shixi knew that Gu Wuji was now clearly a member of the Wen Party, so he didn't show any signs of meeting his old friend again.

He lifted his robe according to the etiquette and knelt down, and said: "My humble minister, Xie Guang, I have seen His Highness King Yan, His Highness King Yan is a thousand years old."

Gu Wuji had expected that Xie Shishi would react in this way, but when he really saw Xie Shixi doing such a big gift to him, no matter how mature and prudent he was, he still couldn't help being in a daze for a while.

"Get up", Gu Wuji put out a polite smile that he had made friends with in the officialdom, and asked about why he was so dusty, Xie Shixi replied respectfully, there were enough tables and chairs, but I gave a few handfuls to the newly opened school. My leg was covered with dust because I just came out of the west mountain where the reservoir was dug, and the water pipes were being laid along the way.

They have questions and answers, serious and serious, with a clear distinction of status, no different from questions asked by monarchs and ministers. Haiming sat aside and drank tea with his head down, sighing in his heart, thinking "poorly born in the emperor's family" in his head. He slapped the back of the head with a slap from Gu Wuji, who saw him in a blink of an eye, and fell to the ground with a groan.

In the next few days, Xie Shiming said that he had no money and no time to entertain, and Gu Wuji had no objection. He took Haiming Weifu to visit him, and mentioned Xie Shishi. The people in the city, regardless of Miao|Han, were all a " "Good", the locals thanked General Xie for repelling the Lancang army. With General Xie in front, Xie Shishi became an affectionate "Master Xiao Xie" in their mouths, and he said it like his own child.

Sometimes when walking on the street or in the countryside, I would meet Xie Shishi passing by on horseback.

In the end, even Wen Jinli's subordinates who sneaked in among the bodyguards had to admit that Xie Guang was not just showing off, he was really a good official.

It's a pity that in this world, good officials are not rewarded with good rewards.

A few days later, the express report was sent to the capital. Xie Guang, the prefect of Qianxi, wanted to assassinate King Yan after drinking, and injured King Yan's left arm. He was captured by the guards on the spot and thrown into prison.

In an instant, Wen Party officials headed by Wen Jinli came to impeach Xie Jiuyuan.

Jin Yiwei sent a secret report, and the border guards of Qing Province changed.

Gu Zhen looked at Xie Jiuyuan, Xie Jiuyuan held Gu Zhen's hand, both of them trembled slightly, it was not fear, but the excitement of finally ushering in a decisive battle.

A memorial written in Wen Chongde's tone and handwriting appeared out of thin air in the study of the Fusanghou Mansion.

Wen Chongde sneered and stamped his Hou seal.

Hou, who is not a monkey, Wen Jinli, it's time for you to die.
