The straight man who wears bright clothes is also afraid of messing with him

In the first month of the 28th year of Hongwu, Qin Wang Zhu Xi was ordered to go to Taozhou (now Lintan County, Gansu Province) to fight against the rebels. Zhu Yu used the lack of troops as an excuse to second the Yanshan Guard, which belonged to King Yan, and asked Cui Miao to join the army by name.Cui Miao ruined the power that Zhu Xi worked so hard to manage, and it was impossible for Zhu Xi not to be jealous. He obviously wanted to avenge his personal revenge and deal with Cui Miao.The king of Yan could not agree in public or private, and rejected Zhu Yu's request on the grounds that Cui Miao was suffering from old illnesses, but still sent Xue Lu to lead a thousand Yanshan guards to accompany the army.

Zhu Xi didn't know which tendon was wrong, so for this reason, he submitted a memorial to King Yan, sent the memorial to the capital, and asked Emperor Hongwu to return it directly. It was not the servants who returned the paper, but Jin Yiwei. in warning.Although Zhu Xi gritted his teeth with hatred, there was nothing he could do. The dark nest was confiscated, and the nails placed in every vassal king's place were pulled out. He was equivalent to breaking his arms and losing his eyes at the same time. How could he not hate it!

Cui Miao is an otaku, who has been staying in Beiping Mansion, farmland, barracks, palace, and home, just go to these four places, no matter which place is heavily guarded, he has sent people to assassinate many times, but never returned.

The Dark Nest was surrendered, although King Qin Zhu Xi was only resigned from Zongzheng's position, but the loss was all clear to those involved in this matter, especially Shen Qing, who knew the royal family too well, King Qin Zhu Xi would definitely not let it go.Although Shen Qing was apparently in charge of this matter, anyone who knows the inside story knows that Cui Miao is the real leader. Shen Qing's status as the King of Qin has some scruples, but Cui Miao is just a general without roots and foundation, and it is he who vents his anger The best way, so Shen Qing decided that Zhu Xi would definitely deal with Cui Miao.Since returning to Beiping Mansion, Shen Qing went to Prince Yan's Mansion, and asked the palace's secret guards to protect Cui Miao, and stayed by his side every step of the way.Sure enough, as Shen Qing expected, after King Qin returned to the Xi'an Mansion, assassinations occurred one after another, without any investigation at all, he could figure out who was behind the scenes with his heels.

Although Cui Miao was not injured, he was so annoying that even the King of Yan couldn't take it anymore, he ordered someone to send a handwritten letter, saying that Cui Miao was safe, and if the King of Qin made another mistake, he would directly kill the person who was assassinated. Sent to Nanjing.After receiving the letter from King Yan, Zhu Xi was furious, but he didn't send anyone to assassinate him again, so he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to suppress the rebellion and get rid of Cui Miao on the grounds of secondment.As a result, he regarded others as fools. It is impossible for others to pretend to be fools.

Zhu Di wants to keep Cui Miao for three reasons: one is because he cherishes his talents, Cui Miao has been by his side for so many years, and Zhu Di knows well what he has done for him, and he cherishes his talents; the other is because of Shen Qing. How can you hide Miao's matter from King Yan, long before they got together, Shen Qing confessed to King Yan that he adored Cui Miao and would never marry a wife and have children in this life; the third was because of Dao Yan, what Dao Yan said , After so many years of proof, Zhu Di deeply agrees.So no matter which one it was because of, it was impossible for him to just sit back and watch Cui Miao have an accident.

As for why Emperor Hongwu valued Cui Miao so much, there is actually a reason. On the first day of the first lunar month in the 26th year of Hongwu, Cui Miao got up early in the morning to pay New Year's greetings to King Yan, and met a figure at the door, sneakily peeping At first, Cui Miao thought it was an assassin, so without further ado, he went straight to the attack, but it turned out that he was an eleven or twelve-year-old boy. Although he was dirty all over, he had delicate features, especially his bright eyes, and he was very attractive.

Cui Miao stroked his clothes for him, and said softly, "Who are you, and why are you peeping at my door?"

The young man was obviously frightened by Cui Miao's actions just now. He looked at Cui Miao timidly, and stammered, "I, my name is Song Xiaohu. You, are you Cui Miao, Master Cui?"

Cui Miao was startled, and then said, "That's right, I am Cui Miao, are you here to find me?"

Song Xiaohu timidly said: "I, my mother asked me to come to the adults."

"Who is your mother?" Shen Qing came out from the door, frowning and looking at Song Xiaohu.

Song Xiaohu shrank back in fright, and instinctively hid behind Cui Miao.

Cui Miao gave Shen Qing a funny look, and said, "You scared the child."

Shen Qing looked at Cui Miao, and asked indifferently: "Da Lang knows his mother?"

Cui Miao said jokingly: "Master Hou, the vinegar is so sour this early in the morning!"

Shen Qing's face became hot, he lowered his sleeves, grabbed Cui Miao's hand, and asked persistently: "Don't change the subject, Da Lang, who is his mother?"

"How do I know? This is the first time I have seen this child." Cui Miao was also very helpless to Shen Qing's super possessive desire. He broke away from Shen Qing's hand, turned to look at Song Xiaohu, and asked with a smile: " Xiaohu, who is your mother, why did you come to me?"

"My mother is my mother."

Song Xiaohu's eyes were full of confusion, as if he was saying that Cui Miao was too stupid to ask this question.

Seeing this, Cui Miao couldn't help laughing, and said, "Then why did your mother ask you to come to me?"

Song Xiaohu boldly looked at Cui Miao and asked, "Are you really Master Cui?"

Cui Miao took out a tooth card from her pocket and said, "This is my tooth card, do you know how to read?"

Song Xiaohu shook his head and said, "I don't know how to read, but my mother taught me the word 'Cui'."

Cui Miao put away the tooth card and said patiently: "Then can you speak now?"

Song Xiaohu took out a handkerchief from his bosom, and said: "My mother asked me to give this to my lord, and said that if my lord accepted this handkerchief, he would take me in."

Shen Qing's eyes flickered, he looked directly at Cui Miao, and said, "Can Da Lang explain it?"

Cui Miao couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth. How could this scene be so similar to those dramas in TV dramas? If it weren't for the protagonist being himself, he would really be happy to be a melon-eating crowd.

"What did Ah Qing ask me to explain? When did a woman appear beside me?"

Shen Qing knows all the people who have been in contact with Cui Miao, no matter male or female, and he has never seen a woman.Shen Qing looked at Song Xiaohu and asked, "Where is your mother?"

Song Xiaohu lowered his head sadly, and said: "My mother died, she went to find my father."

Cui Miao frowned, seemed to think of something, and asked, "Where is your home?"

Song Xiaohu grabbed the corner of his clothes, blushed and said, "Chunfeng Tower."

Cui Miao frowned, then asked: "Then who is your father?"

Song Xiaohu shook his head and said, "I have never seen my father."

Seeing that Cui Miao would not be able to ask anything for a while, she took the handkerchief from Song Xiaohu's hand, called Cui Siyu, and told him to bring Song Xiaohu into the house so that he could take care of him.And he went to the palace with Shen Qing.

"When did Dalang go to Chunfeng Building?"

Cui Miao looked at Shen Qing dumbfounded, and said, "Master Hou, you told me about my inability to have children, why are you struggling now?"

Shen Qing's eyes darkened, and he fell silent.

Seeing this, Cui Miao said helplessly, "Master Hou, at any rate, today is the first day of the new year, can you stop thinking about it?"

Shen Qing responded lightly, and said bluntly: "Da Lang, I am narrow-minded, but I just can't tolerate people around you."

"I know. In the past, I may not know, but after we are together, those people who disappeared from my sight inexplicably, I don't need to think about it, I also know that you did it. If I really mind, can I still indulge Lord Marquis like this? "

A smile appeared in Shen Qing's eyes, and he said cheerfully: "Well, let's go, let's go to the palace."

The two of them went to meet King Yan together, and because Song Xiaohu's matter was on their minds, they didn't delay much, and soon they left the palace and went home directly.

Asking Cui Siyu to bring Song Xiaohu over, the originally dirty boy was cleaned up and changed into clean clothes, making him look even more pleasing.Cui Miao asked some more questions, but Song Xiaohu could not answer much.All I know is that Song Xiaohu's mother is a girl from Chunfeng Building, called Yang Liuer, who was spotted by a master more than ten years ago and redeemed her body for him, but she never left Chunfeng Building, because every month Yang Liuer would give the old bustard sufficient rent. , the bustard also regarded her as a tenant.Later, Yang Liu'er was pregnant with a child, but the old man still didn't see him to pick him up, everyone discussed quietly, thinking that the old man had abandoned Yang Liu'er.But Yang Liu'er has never been short of money. After the child is born, the cost of food and clothing is no worse than those of rich and noble families.At first, everyone was still confused, but after a while, they got used to it.

Two months ago, Yang Liu'er suddenly fell ill, one doctor after another came, all saying that she was too worried, took a lot of medicine, but there was no improvement at all.A few days ago, Yang Liuer called Song Xiaohu to the bed, gave him the handkerchief, and told him to give it to Mrs. Cui Miao and Cui. She also said that she was sorry for him and could no longer take care of him, and she was going to find him Dad.Yang Liu'er died that night, leaving Song Xiaohu alone.

The old bustard of the Chunfeng Building embezzled the money left by Yang Liuer on the grounds of sending Yang Liuer away, and only bought Yang Liuer a thin-skinned coffin, and hurriedly found a place to bury it, and then wanted to sell Song Xiaohu to someone else. Only after Yang Liuer told Song Xiaohu that she left Chunfeng Building immediately after her death did she escape the catastrophe.Song Xiaohu didn't know that Cui Miao had moved, so he searched for it for two days and finally found this place.

Cui Miao asked Song Xiaohu to be taken down, and took out the handkerchief to observe carefully.

Seeing this, Shen Qing asked, "What did Da Lang think of?"

"Two months ago, Yang Liu'er fell ill suddenly, and she was overly worried. Don't Ah Qing think it's too coincidental?"

Shen Qing's eyes flickered, and he said, "You mean that Yang Liuer is related to Song Dali?"

"If my guess is correct, the one who redeemed Yang Liu'er is Song Dali, and Song Xiaohu is his heir." Cui Miao raised her voice and said, "Siyu, bring me a basin of water."

Cui Siyu took a basin of water and put it on the table, then bowed and retreated.Cui Miao put the handkerchief into the basin, and after a while, densely packed words appeared on the soaked handkerchief.

"Sure enough!" Cui Miao looked at the content on the handkerchief, couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said with a smile, "This is the Song family's way of making soldiers!"

Shen Qing sighed: "Song Dali is really a character! He is using this way to thank you."

"Well, he wants me to protect Song Xiaohu."

Without hesitation, Cui Miao and Shen Qing handed over the handkerchief to King Yan, who then directly presented it to the capital.
