happy rebirth

The curtain of the carriage was raised from inside, Xie Chunying showed a face and said, "Get in the carriage."

Xie Jinhua immediately put away those messy thoughts.He faintly felt a little strange.Why did the eldest brother come to pick him up?It's just an ordinary county exam. The eldest brother is always busy with business. If something important doesn't happen, just wait for him at home.

Facing Xie Chunying's gaze, Ke Qi didn't have the nerve to continue hugging Xie Jinhua.

Ke Qi jumped into the carriage first, then stretched out his hand to give Xie Jinhua a hand.When they sat down firmly, the carriage drove slowly towards home.Seeing that Xie Jinhua looked good, Xie Chunying let out a long sigh of relief, but he didn't show it on his face, and only motioned Ke Qi to tell about someone going to set the fire.

Among the invigilators was a forty-year-old official named Qiao Lu.Thanks to his discovery of oil hidden in the toilet room of the dormitory, a catastrophe was averted.This little official is not greedy for merit, and honestly said that when he supervised the candidates to go to the toilet, a candidate with the surname smelt of oil.

"That examinee is the grandson of General Yu." Xie Chunying added.

Candidates were strictly censored when they entered the arena. Yu Zhi's status is not low, and the official must know it well.Strictly speaking, this incident should be regarded as being hit by Yu Zhi by mistake, so the little official must not dare to claim his credit.However, even so, the little official has made a great contribution this time.A low-level official like him originally had no future, but after going through this kind of incident, he will definitely be rewarded and promoted.

It was only then that Xie Jinhua realized that he had almost fallen into a dangerous situation, and he was afraid for a while.

Ke Qi quickly grabbed Xie Jinhua's hand, squeezed it twice, and comforted him, "It's all over."

"I made you worry." Xie Jinhua said rather self-blamingly.

"Where is this your fault?" Ke Qi said quickly.It's the criminals who are at fault!The young man of his own family almost suffered a disaster without reason.Ke Qi looked at Xie Chunying again, and asked, "Brother, that handyman who was caught...is it in whose hands now? Did you find anything?"

"Both the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment have intervened, and the emperor wants to thoroughly investigate this matter." Xie Chunying said.

Now that it has been listened to by Datian, it is difficult for Xie Chunying to intervene.However, the person in charge knew that Xie Chunying's concubine brother was also in the examination room, so if something was found out, they would definitely be willing to leak some information to Xie Chunying, which was also a way of selling.Xie Chunying knew Yu Zhi because of this.

Xie Chunying only said one sentence, which shows that the investigation on this matter has not made much progress.

Xie Jinhua thought for a while, and asked, "Do you want to send a gift to General Zhen Guo's residence?" Yu Zhi has saved his life, right?

Xie Chunying did not answer this question directly, but looked at Ke Qi, he wanted to know how Ke Qi responded.Even if Xie Chunying is willing to take care of Xie Jinhua for the rest of her life, Ke Qi will be by Xie Jinhua's side in the future.Therefore, their affairs need to be discussed by the couple themselves.

Ke Qi smiled and said: "There is no need to deliberately thank him. If Mr. Yu's achievements are publicized, then not only us, but other candidates must also express their gratitude to him. At that time, we will follow the trend and send a gift. But if the merits of Mr. Yu have not been spread, and we are too active, it seems that the elder brother is very well informed, and if someone who cares is noticed, it is inevitable that some bad words will be made up."

Ke Qi added: "Of course, if there is an opportunity in the future, we can take care of Mr. Yu quietly in other ways." This is not bragging, Xie Jinhua is indeed capable of taking care of Yu Zhi.The Zhen Guo General's Mansion looks pretty good now, but it's really just a look.

Xie Chunying nodded, agreed with Ke Qi's words, and said, "Yu's family, you can hand it over."

Old General Yu is over 80 years old. Although he is still in good health, he resigned from the military as early as the second year of Kairui and returned to the capital to retire.The successor in the army is his adopted son. This adopted son really respects the old general, but it is no longer Yu's family who hold power in the army.

Although Old General Yu still has the title of Great General, it is just an honorary title.

With no real power and no successors, in the eyes of many people, the Zhen Guo General's Mansion has fallen.

Xie Jinhua seldom participated in the gatherings of the noble children because of his health, so he never met Yu Zhi.He didn't know that the little chubby crying outside the examination room was Yu Zhi, and he thought that Yu Zhi, as a member of Yu's family, must have a burly and tall body like Li Yang.Xie Jinhua couldn't help but sighed, and said, "I didn't expect the grandson of General Yu to choose Congwen... I thought their family could produce another general."

With a slight smile in her eyes, Xie Chunying said to Ke Qi: "Come and tell Xiaosi why."

Xie Jinhua's eyes immediately widened, looking slightly similar to Ah Huang.What does brother mean?It sounded like he was very satisfied with Ke Qi.The eldest brother seems to be saying that there is finally Ke Qi who is sensible, so it doesn't matter if Xie Jinhua continues to be simple.

Ke Qi lived up to Xie Chunying's trust and said, "When he ascended the throne today, Old General Yu was one of his greatest helpers."

Scholars rebelled and failed in ten years.If the Li family had no military power in their hands, no matter how hard the former royal family tried to do, it would not be the Li family's turn to sit on the throne.Therefore, the support of General Yu is very important to Karuidi.At that time, General Yu's prestige in the frontier army was extremely high.

"Then how..."

"The old general is a smart man. It is because of his great contribution that he retreated in time to avoid the end of the bird's death." Ke Qi analyzed carefully, "The old general was chilled by the former royal family. In order to find a way out for the border guards, he betrayed the Yan family and took refuge in the Li family. This was his choice in desperation. But since he has already betrayed once, in the eyes of the world, he may betray the second time, the third time."

It's not that Emperor Kairui is really so narrow-minded, but if the old general continues to hold on to the military power, there will be problems between the monarch and his ministers sooner or later.Emperor Kairui knew how he came to the throne, he might feel guilty and worried that someone would use the same method to obtain the throne.

What if someone else goes to win over the old general?Can Kai Ruidi really trust the old general all the time?

The old general simply let himself be raised.

He evaded suspicion thoroughly, his son is not capable of writing or military, anyway, he is completely useless, but fortunately, his character is not bad.When it came to his grandson's generation, he didn't let Yu Zhi practice martial arts, but he was reluctant to raise his grandson too, so he let him learn the ways of literati.

"It turns out that... so, the old general really understands righteousness and is completely selfless!" Xie Jinhua said with great admiration, "He chose the emperor at the beginning not because of the merits of the dragon, but because of those under his command. Soldiers who have been treated harshly and people who have a difficult life on the border."

Therefore, as soon as the emperor ascended the throne and the military salary was in place, General Yu, who should be able to reap benefits as a hero, immediately gave up his rights.

The smile in Xie Chunying's eyes was even bigger, but she said to Ke Qi: "Teach Xiaosi again."

Xie Ameow, who was a bit idealistic, blinked, did he say something wrong again?

Ke Qi squeezed Xie Jinhua's palm again as if he was addicted to pinching, and said: "The old general's decisiveness in matters of right and wrong is indeed admirable, but it cannot be said that he has no selfishness at all. He is now the most trusted person by the emperor. One, the emperor occasionally invites him to play chess in the palace."

With the emperor's trust, Yu Zhi's future development will definitely be very good.

However, if we use a game as an example, the emperor's trust can be regarded as a piece of god-level equipment. Yu Zhi is still wandering around in Novice Village. on equipment.And Yu's family has no foundation among civil servants, that is, some people already have the intention of taking tea with the military officer, so if Xie Jinhua has the heart, he can indeed take care of Yu Zhi in some things.

Yu's family can make friends, Xie Chunying means to let Xie Jinhua seize this opportunity to become friends with Yu Zhi.

"I understand." Xie Jinhua said.

The wheels of the carriage rolled steadily over the road.Xie Jinhua couldn't help but fell into memories.Things like fire in the scientific research shed can directly shake the hearts of the people. Even if Xie Jinhua is trapped in the Cangzhen Pavilion, he will definitely hear about it.But in the previous life, he did not hear the relevant information.And there are two possibilities, one is that this man-made disaster in the previous life was also broken by Yu Zhi, and the other is that such a thing did not happen in the previous life.

There are many differences between this life and the previous life.Among other things, the Duke of Dejun in the previous life is still the king of the county at this time.

18 years in Kairui... What important things happened in the 18 years of Kairui in his previous life... Xie Jinhua tried hard to recall, but it really made him think of something.It's February now, the Eighth Prince's full moon.The eighth prince is the old son of the emperor, the emperor attaches great importance to this youngest son!

"The eighth prince..." Xie Jinhua couldn't help but say.

Xie Chunying looked at Xie Jinhua strangely, and asked, "The eighth prince? There are only seven princes today."

Xie Jinhua was stunned.He hesitated for a while, then asked: "Is there a lady named Wen in the palace?"

Xie Chunying felt more and more strange, and said: "There is no lady with the surname of Wen, but there was a woman with the surname of Wen. However, she passed away two months ago, and it is said that one dead body and two lives. Don't mention it in front of people in the future. , the affairs of the harem should not be something that our foreign ministers can investigate." Cai Nu can't be called a concubine.And Wen Cainu's death was naturally driven by the queen, who told her to use herself to frame the prince on the Qianqiu Festival last year!

The eighth prince who was hurt by the emperor as an eyeball is gone, and the empress Wenpin who rose up in the palace because her mother is expensive is gone... Xie Jinhua was very surprised at this moment. He did not die in the spring of Kairui's 16th year. And the impact of this even extended to the palace?

Xie Chunying asked blankly: "Where did you hear about the eighth prince and the lady named Wen?"

"I-I heard someone mention it, but I can't remember the details." Xie Jinhua said vaguely.

Xie Chunying didn't know if he believed Xie Jinhua's explanation, he only looked at Xie Jinhua seriously a few times, but didn't continue to ask.Ke Qi seemed to sense something wrong with Xie Jinhua's mood, and whispered, "Are you tired? Would you like to lean on my shoulder and squint for a while?"

"Not tired... When we get home, let's sleep together for a while." Xie Jinhua also replied in a low voice.

Seeing Ke Qi coaxing Xie Jinhua, Xie Chunying seemed to see a wolf cub pulling a cat cub under her belly.

The elder brother laughed out loud at the thought.

Ke Qi and Xie Jinhua looked at each other.What's so funny?They didn't do anything, did they?There was nothing wrong with their conversation just now, right?Facing the two pairs of blank eyes, Xie Chunying felt that they were more like little beasts, so she laughed even harder.The little couple could only hear the joy of the elder brother from his laughter, but he couldn't tell anything from his expression.After all, the elder brother's smile is a bit... not like a good person anyway.

I really didn't expect that the elder brother's smile was so inexplicable.

Ah no, it's so unpredictable.
