The predecessor who was scumbag by me was the emperor

Gao Xun's death caused an uproar in the court. Many people didn't even realize what happened to the son of the Gao family. Before the whole city searched for an assassin to rescue Gao Xun, everyone was already curious, what assassin?Why hold Gao Xun hostage?Where was it held hostage?

Later, someone saw that Jin Yiwei took people to Gaofu, and later claimed that he had heard the news and went to Gaofu to check for clues.

"Did he really die? How did he die? What was the purpose of those gangsters? Since they didn't seize the moment and die, they must have a plan, so what is their plan? Has anyone negotiated with the gangsters?" After the court meeting ended , The ministers gathered together to discuss with each other.

"It is estimated that the Gao family offended someone, and the people behind them hired murderers to kidnap Gao Xun, and because Jin Yiwei's strict inspection did not dare to show up, they broke contact, and finally were found by Jin Yiwei, so they simply did nothing and gave Gao Xun Xun poisoned."

"It's such a pity. Gao Xun is the most outstanding child of the Gao family's generation, and he is also the first son. It's really bad luck to suffer such bad luck at a young age."

"That's right, he hasn't married yet, and he doesn't even have any offspring. The position of the head of the Gao family may be somewhat controversial."

"Does any of you know where Ling Jingyun went out of Beijing?"

"Why did you suddenly ask about that God of Death? It would be better if he wasn't here."

"Don't you find it strange? Ling Jingyun left the capital last night, but Gao Xun was found this morning. At such a critical juncture, he left the capital instead of being here. What is more important than the safety of the Gao family's son?"

"Of course there are. Have you forgotten the news about General Qian's death? Maybe the emperor sent him to investigate the cause of General Qian's death. You have to give Mr. Qian an explanation."

"What's wrong with this year? It's just the beginning of the new year, and the heirs of two families have died one after another. It's a bad year. Could it be... do you know what was written in the hexagram of Qin Tianjian? What Lu Kuo wanted to say at that time should be……"

"Shut up, we haven't left the palace yet, you just said that."

The matter of fate is very strange, and everyone is dubious. If Gao Xun and Qian Jianyuan hadn't happened together, maybe they wouldn't have taken it to heart, but when it happened, they would believe in Lu Kuo's hexagram even more There must have been some warning words written.

"It's a pity, even Lu Jianzheng...I'm afraid no one knows about this matter."

"It's not necessarily true. He's dead, so those apprentices are still there? I just don't know if they dare to say it."

"Shhh, be careful!"

Bai Yan had just returned from the East Palace, and thought that his grandfather must have gone to the Yamen at this time, but unexpectedly, he heard that he was discussing matters with several adults in the study.

"Which adults are there?" He asked the housekeeper.

"Back to the eldest son, they are all close friends of the old man on weekdays. You have seen them all."

"Then let me go over and say hello, I haven't seen you uncles for a long time." Bai Yan turned around and walked towards his grandfather's study. There were layers of guards standing outside the yard, and grandfather's confidants guarded the door of the study.

Seeing him coming, the attendant strode out and asked in a low voice: "Is the eldest son going to see the old man?"

Bai Yan nodded, "Is it convenient now?"

"The old man told me that he has a serious matter to discuss and won't let anyone approach the study room. It's just you, you little man, go and ask."

"No need, just come back later." Bai Yan glanced at the door of the study, turned and left.

Today is the first time for him to take office in the Eastern Palace. Originally, he was going to take part in the palace examination this spring. He thought he would be appointed as an official after passing the meeting, but he did not expect that he would step into the Eastern Palace first and become a fifth-rank official.

For others, this is a good thing from heaven, but Bai Yan knows very well that the emperor will send him to the East Palace at this time, just to make the crown prince's position more secure. Obviously, since the dozen or so of them After the appointment of an assistant minister, there were fewer discussions in the court about establishing a prince.

He originally wanted to ask his grandfather, what kind of attitude should he keep in getting along with the prince, whether he should use his talents to assist him with all his strength, or should he restrain his edge and let it go. The Xu family has too much power. Home pushed to the cusp.

However, based on his understanding of his grandfather, he probably didn't care about this, but Bai Yan felt that neither civil servants nor military generals could make great achievements, and it was necessary to go downhill properly.

He walked all the way back to his yard, and met his unmarried concubine sister on the way. Now there is only this sister in the family, so he will naturally be gentle.

"Brother, did you just come back from grandfather's yard?" Xu Jiao asked after saluting.

"Well, where is Third Sister going?"

"Seeing that the weather is just right, I picked some plum blossoms and made pastries. I want to send them to my grandfather to taste. I have ordered someone to deliver the elder brother's portion to your yard."

Bai Yan thanked her with a smile, "Third Sister is here, I just leave these things to the servants, but grandfather is entertaining guests at this time, you should go later."

"Okay, sister, I won't bother brother. If the pastry is good, I'll make it tomorrow and send it to you."

When Bai Yan walked away, Xu Jiao's servant girl asked her puzzledly: "Girl, why didn't you ask the eldest son about it?"

"How does he know?" Xu Jiao shook her hands irritably.

"The Eldest Young Master is now Zhan Shi of the East Palace, so he must be able to meet with him often. Why not let him ask about your marriage?"

The marriage between Xu Jiao and Xu Bingyang had been decided long ago, but unfortunately they never got married. She never wanted to marry a military general because she felt that the military general was rude and her future was not as good as that of a civil servant.

I heard that Song Bingyang will definitely go to the border in the future, will he still follow him to eat sand?If he didn't go, wouldn't he want to stay in the Song Mansion to take care of the young and old?

"Can I still let him ask the surname Song, how about letting him voluntarily withdraw the engagement? Do you think the elder brother can agree? Can the other party agree?"

"Then it's useless for you to find the old man. This marriage was originally arranged by the old man."

Xu Jiao never knew, but she always had to try hard.

She still doesn't know at the moment that Song Bingyang wrote a letter to the border a few years ago, just to ask if his marriage with Xu's family could be withdrawn. It was well known that Shen Jia had offended Xu Shoufu before, so he was naturally more willing to side with Shen Jia.

And because of his marriage with the Xu family, there were a lot of rumors about him in the imperial guards, and everyone didn't like him, which made him very unhappy. In addition, he met Miss Xu's family a few times, and they all respected him at a distance. , didn't even see her face once, and was indifferent, how could he like this marriage?

The sun had already set when Shen Jia came out of the palace, and the heat from the afterglow dissipated little by little, and the cold air hit him, so he wrapped his cloak tightly and hurried out of the palace.

"Master Shen." Song Bingyang stopped and saluted him.

Shen Jia glanced at him, thinking that he had refuted Zhao Zhang's proposal in the imperial study just now, and that he had hindered his bright future, so she felt a little guilty, "It's Captain Song, why are you on duty again?"

Song Bingyang clasped his hands and said, "It's not peaceful in the capital these days, so all the imperial guards have canceled their vacations. Haven't you noticed that there are more patrols in the palace?"

It seemed that there was such a thing, but Shen Jia didn't pay much attention to it, it should be Yao Zhan's decision.

"Then it's hard work, everyone."

"It's our duty to protect the emperor. Mr. Shen is serious. The spring is cold and Mr. Shen is weak. It is better to leave the palace and return to the residence." Song Bingyang has a special affection for Shen Jia for some reason, and he is willing to get close to this young powerful minister. , of course, the other party's attitude towards him is also very kind, even after being promoted, it has never changed.

Shen Jia said goodbye to him, and when she looked back at him again, she saw that he was looking up at the sky, wondering what he was thinking, but his expression was a little lonely, and he suddenly found that boys of this age seemed to have special concerns.

Shen Jia got into the carriage, He Yan handed him hot tea, he took a sip, and asked, "Have you heard when the marriage between the Song family and the Xu family will be held?"

"Are you talking about the young general of the Song family and the third girl of Xu Shoufu's family?"

"Correct."

"I have heard about it, but I don't know if it is true. It is said that someone saw the two of them meet outside the city once. It was not very pleasant at that time. It seemed that the third girl didn't like General Song. Later, There are also people who say that the third girl's heart is... all in you, sir, so she is unwilling to marry other men."

"What? What does it have to do with me?" Shen Jia originally just wanted to eat melons, but she didn't expect to eat her own melons.

"Did you forget? At the beginning, Xu Shoufu sent someone to propose a marriage, but you didn't agree. If it wasn't for the emperor's imperial decree to grant the marriage, he would definitely mention it again. I heard that Miss Xu has seen you and never forgets you." , That's why I have been procrastinating and refusing to get married."

"Ridiculous, when did she see me? Even if she did, Song Bingyang is not bad looking. Even if she is blind, she knows that this husband is not bad. How can she never forget a married man?"

"Then who knows, maybe Miss Xu likes you, you have been hanged from a tree for so many years, why can't you understand other people's affection?"

Shen Jia was so refuted that she had nothing to say, but thinking about it, she was wrong. It was because he and Zhao Zhang had a relationship that people could not forget it. If they hadn't started, how could he have a crush on a man for the rest of his life?

He knocked on He Yan's head, "Go and inquire if you have time, and see what the attitudes of the two families are towards this marriage. It's at stake, Xu Bingyang won't do much good by marrying a woman from the Xu family."

He Yan didn't like the Xu family, because he heard that the person who framed Shen Jia was Xu Shoufu, no matter whether it was true or not, as long as he was Shen Jia's enemy, he didn't like it.

"You don't care about them. It has nothing to do with us. It would be nice if these two families quarreled."

Shen Jia smiled, and didn't think what He Yan said was wrong, but he treated Song Bingyang more favorably. If he really wanted to attack the Xu family, the Song family was indeed a good target.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the Shen residence. After Shen Jia got off the car, he saw his parents and sister standing at the gate to welcome him. There was a brazier at the gate, and the servant was holding a grapefruit leaf in his hand. It seemed that he wanted to get rid of his bad luck again. up.

Seeing that Shen Jia came back safe and sound, the Shen family finally breathed a sigh of relief. Shen's mother dragged him up and down and touched him, "It's okay, it's okay, there is no missing arm or leg, and there is no injury. God bless."

"Mother, this has nothing to do with God? The case has just started to go to trial, how could it be possible to punish the imperial court official? You think too much."

"Hurry up, let's get rid of bad luck first, let's go into the room to talk, everyone is curious about what's going on, you just let people come back and say it's all right, but we don't know how it's all right."

Shen Jia stepped over the brazier and was showered with water droplets. After entering the house, she wiped her hair and changed her clothes before coming out to talk to her family.

He avoided talking about Gao Xun's schemes, but he didn't say that the matter between Zhang Lu and Zhen Niang was also written by Gao Xun. Oh no.
