old grace
Chapter 147
With the death of Han Lin, the situation in the DPRK and China has undergone extremely subtle changes.
With [-] troops from the Han family stationed in the capital, the Young Emperor did not delay in granting Han Hui the chancellor.
Han Hui entered the palace in the evening to ask for an order, and the young emperor summoned Han Mo into the palace overnight, and immediately issued the order to the world, and asked Han Lin hypocritically how he was doing.Knowing that Han Lin was indeed dead, the young emperor opened the palace door again at night, summoned the Minister of Rites, and asked Bi Shangshu to come to Han Lin's funeral overnight.
Coincidentally, this Bi Shangshu was the one Han Lin severely offended just two months ago.
——At the beginning when Mrs. Wei was investigating Lu's background, the arrogant soldiers knocked on the door of Bi Shangshu's house in the middle of the night, and tortured his sister-in-law in front of Bi Shangshu.
The so-called punishment is not a doctor, because the person being punished has no dignity at all.Husbands can't bear such insults, let alone women?Bi Shangshu's younger brother and daughter-in-law were brutally tortured by the prime minister's guards under the watchful eyes of the public. She exposed her breasts and shed blood and tears, and committed suicide afterwards.
Han Lin and Mrs. Wei didn't take the humiliation farce that Bi Shangshu's house suffered at all. Instead, they felt a kind of forgiveness and self-satisfaction that "I didn't kill you, old Bi, and I gave the court face".Afterwards, Fu Chuan came to appease him, but he only gave Bi Shangshu a ladder to step down in embarrassment. Otherwise, how could Bi Shangshu have the face to continue to be an official if he was humiliated by the prime minister's house?
The minister of the Ministry of Rites is in charge of icing on the cake. He has no soldiers and no power. The Han family really can ignore him.
Unexpectedly, two months later, Han Lin died.
The funeral fell into the hands of Bi Shangshu, and the court entrusted Bi Shangshu to handle it.
After Bi Shangshu got the decree, he went out of the palace to discuss with Han Hui, where did the mansion plan to set up the funeral shed of the former Prime Minister Han Gong?
It is natural to set up a mourning hall for funerals.Except for the funeral of the heavenly family, where the spirit is moved to worship the temple, the mourning halls of ordinary people are set up in their own homes.The elders live in the master, and the young live in the side. The ritual scriptures from ancient times to the present have all been written clearly, without any mistakes or omissions.
The problem is, most of the prime minister's mansion was flattened, and the front hall was filled with injured guards and servants, which was a mess.
Bi Shangshu believed that this rotten prime minister's mansion was not worthy of Han Lin's mourning hall, and he asked where the funeral shed should be built because he wanted to move the place.
The most important thing for Han Hui right now is to gain a firm foothold. After the official decree, he has to offer tea to Fu Chuan and worship him as his husband.
The matter of entering the palace to ask for an edict might require the overlord to force his bow, so Han Hui took his soldiers and horses and went by himself without letting anyone watch. The matter of apprenticeship is different. Fu Chuan will definitely cooperate with him. The generals of the Han family who didn't know the truth and were panic-stricken watched the ceremony together, and took the opportunity to settle the matter of settling down. As for how to arrange the funeral for Han Lin, they had to take a step back.
"Since the imperial court entrusts Lord Shangshu to handle this matter, please give me your advice." Han Hui was so busy that he casually pointed to a confidant cousin Han Lu to Bi Shangshu, "Brother Lu, follow Lord Bi, and ask again if you have anything to do." I."
Han Hui always took Han Zhuwen with him.
Brother and brother are not orthodox, and Han Zhuwen speaks for him by his side, saving him a lot of tongue.
Han Lin and Han Hui were fighting fiercely a few years ago. After Han Shushi left the field, Han Hui followed Han Lin as a pawn. In the past two years, the two brothers got along fairly peacefully. However, many of them had followed Han Lin for a long time. The old veterans, the habitual dislike of Han Hui has not yet been eradicated.
At this moment, Han Lin died suddenly, and Han Hui came forward to gather the military power, so this wave of soldiers would naturally have a heart of resistance.
Han Zhuwen followed Han Hui, calling his uncle towards this side, and his father over there, crying and saying that he would overcome the difficulties together, saying that this was what Mr. Fu meant, and that many soldiers who wanted to make trouble and refuse to obey Silence fell.
At this time, Han Lu came over in a hurry and complained to Han Hui: "Brother Hui, Bi Shangshu said that there is no reason to go to another house to borrow a house to build a funeral shed. Borrowing the altar of Ji from the emperor? Anyway, that place is also the place where the imperial court sacrifices to Ji Yingchen..."
Before finishing a sentence, Han Hui cursed and asked angrily, "Where is Bi Heng?!"
Han Zhuwen hurriedly tugged at him: "Uncle Hui calm down, Qian..."
Han Lu pointed in the direction, and Han Hui had already rushed over in stride.Over there, Bi Shangshu was still instructing the officials of the Ministry of Rites to arrange the funeral and was speaking in a low voice. Han Hun suddenly rushed into the crowd, pulled out the long knife worn by the guard around him, and slashed at Bi Shangshu's neck!
The scene froze for a moment.
Seeing Bi Shangshu's stubby body with his head lost, the officials of the Ministry of Rites woke up from the shock and ran away one after another.
Han Hui had blood on the long knife in his hand, his eyes were red, and he said to the officials of the Ministry of Rites who were scattered like birds and beasts: "You are all respectful men supported by the court. My eldest brother died in an attack, and your minister actually asked me to enter the palace to ask the emperor for an order. My elder brother's mourning hall is built in the altar of Ji. What is the altar of Ji? It is a place where gods of heaven and earth are worshiped together with the altar of heaven and earth. The place where emperors and ministers of all ages! Why are you running away? Are you with him?!"
Before the officials from the Ministry of Rituals conceded and admitted their mistakes, Han Hui's mentality, which had been tense for a day and a night, almost collapsed, and he raised his knife and slashed wildly.
Seeing that Han Zhuwen couldn't hold back, he quickly told the people around him: "Go and ask Mr. Fu!"
All the guards around the scene only recognized Han Hui's orders.Seeing Han Hui slashing people with a knife, not only did he not stop him, but he also helped Han Hui push the officials of the Ministry of Rites who escaped back to the field. Han Hui also practiced martial arts since childhood and practiced diligently.Before the servants Han Zhuwen sent out to find Fu Chuan ran out of the courtyard, all the officials from the Ministry of Rites were killed.
Han Hui still refused to give up, saying: "Bi Heng should not have been left behind that day! I lost my father and brother, and the treacherous villain dared to frame things in the name of mourning. Today, the elder brother will bleed before his death, and he will not take revenge. , How can you make the elder brother safe under the nine springs?! Order troops, Bi Mansion!"
Han Zhuwen hurried forward: "Uncle, please wait a moment, please think twice about this..."
Han Hui was extremely fierce to outsiders, but he was kind to Han Zhuwen. With one hand on Han Zhuwen's shoulder, he said in a low voice, "His family has a deep feud with us. If we can't cut the roots, how can we never see what happened today? Think about it, if the news that your father's mourning hall is going to be placed in the altar of Ji spreads, outsiders will not care whether the proposal is his, Bi Heng's or my family's, they will only think that my family is rebellious and spying on the imperial city—"
Speaking of this, Han Hui's voice was even lower, and only Han Zhuwen could hear: "If your father and my brother are here, we will not be afraid of rumors. Now that he is gone, if you and I cannot stand firmly, the world will be in trouble in an instant! He I have a sinister heart, and I have the intention to kill people and establish power, just right."
"Wait another quarter of an hour, you can come to Bi Mansion to stop me! Zhu Wen, I do evil things, you sit in peace, Uncle will live up to you."
After saying this, Han Hui wiped the blood from the long knife on Han Zhuwen's sleeve: "Let's go!"
Han Zhuwen could only feel a rumble in his ears, and what Han Hui said made him feel hot all over and tears filled his eyes.
When Fu heard the news, Han Hui had already left for a while, and Han Zhuwen was still standing at the door, watching the guards pick up the corpses of officials from the Ministry of Rites one by one.Fu Chuan asked, "Where's Han Hui?"
Han Zhuwen woke up like a dream: "He... went to Bi Heng's house. It's been a while."
Fu Chuan was very surprised by Han Zhuwen's reaction, but at this time, he didn't have the time to blame Han Zhuwen for not stopping Han Hui.
What good can Han Hui do when he goes to Bi Heng's house?It can't be just to report the funeral for Bi's family, right?
Fu Chuan didn't care about preparing chariots and horses, so he flew directly over the eaves and flew towards the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Mansion.
The Mansion of the Minister of Rites has become a hell on earth.
In the dark night, candles were burning everywhere, and during the fight, candles touched the ground, lighting the curtains, and they burned instantly.
Along the way, there were slaves and servants who had been cut to the ground, with broken arms and limbs, and blood all over the ground.Not only was Han Hui holding his breath and there was nowhere to release him, but so was the guard who accompanied him to kill—many comrades died in the prime minister's mansion, and he had nowhere to avenge and was full of grief.
It happened that it was Han Shushi who caused this tragedy.
The son didn't say anything about his father's faults, and the prime minister's mansion suffered such a big loss, so he didn't dare to complain loudly, and didn't dare to set up Han Shushi as a target.
Everyone in the Han family was extremely aggrieved, and they were all immersed in the pain of "death is for nothing".
At this time, Bi Heng came to the gun.
Bi Heng thought that after Han Lin's death, the prime minister's mansion was in chaos, and he wanted to take advantage of the glory and infinite expansion of power after death to frame the disobedient minister, but he didn't know that Han Hui, who was in charge, was cautious and was bound by etiquette all his life. Han Lin is so arrogant.
If Han Lin was in charge, he would be able to build the mourning hall to Jitan.
Unfortunately, Han Hui is not Han Lin.
Bi Heng's inadvertent act became a target for the Han family to vent their anger and sorrow. Han Hui wanted to deter all forces and relieve the emotions of the family's guards after being injured. The entire Ministry of Rites and Minister's Mansion suffered.
Fu Chuanfei leaned against the wall and said angrily, "Stop!"
The Mansion of the Ministry of Rites was full of flames, after all it was still night, Fu Chuan was standing on the wall, no one could see his figure clearly.
However, his voice was all too familiar.Most of the government guards have listened to his advice on the battlefield, and received his rescue and comfort when they were injured.After all, it's only been one day since Han Lin's death, and everyone hasn't gotten rid of the old habits - Han Lin's orders are the most important, followed by Mr. Fu's words.
As for Han Hui?Doesn't he also obey Mr. Fu's orders?
"Get out." Fu Chuan ordered.
The guards who were stopped by Fu Chuan obediently retreated to the Minister of Rites' mansion to stand by. Fu Chuan searched everywhere, and when he found Han Hui, almost all the blood relatives in Bi Heng's family were slaughtered, leaving only one who was not favored and raised in a remote place. The concubine's room at the office raised a daughter who was less than two years old.
Fu Chuan stared closely at Han Hui's eyes, saw that his body was covered with blood, and the long knife still had flesh and blood, so he said after a while, "Go back."
Han Hui threw the raised torch into the main hall of Bi Mansion, and turned around coldly with a knife in his hand.
■
The massacre in the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites shocked the entire capital, and the young emperor was furious at Bi Heng's death, thinking that Han Hui was too brutal.
However, it is useless to say anything.The [-] troops of the Han family stationed in the capital, at least no one in the capital dared to wrestle with the Han family.After the young emperor rubbed and danced his feet secretly in the palace, he asked the palace supervisor to go to the prime minister's mansion to express his condolences, and arranged for the servant of the Ministry of Rites to come again to attend Han Lin's funeral.
The servant of the Ministry of Rites who came here is the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Deng, Marquis of Cheng En.This servant has no skills. As a servant of the Ministry of Rites, it seems that he has not even read the book of rites and etiquette.There is only one, gentle and handsome, who smiles subtly when he sees people, giving people a kind feeling that is like a spring breeze, and he is not embarrassed to hate him at all.
The most important thing is that Deng Fu and Mrs. Wei's younger brother Wei Ji have been friends for many years.When he took the order to run a business, he dragged Wei Ji along along the way.
— After all, I was also afraid of being cut off.
After experiencing the extermination of the family of the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Han Hui has a fierce reputation.
In the end, Han Lin's funeral was still scheduled to be held in the half-collapsed Prime Minister's Mansion. Officials from the Ministry of Rites and Mrs. Wei's family were the main force, while the Prime Minister's Mansion was busy cleaning up the battlefield and repairing the shattered houses.
Fu Chuan is busy in the Prime Minister's Mansion every day.
Xie Qinghe was different from him. After the seriously wounded in the Prime Minister's Mansion were settled, he left and went back.On the day of rescue at the prime minister's mansion, the emperor's painting class was delayed, and the next day was a rest day, so he didn't urge Fu Chuan to go home to accompany him, he wrote and drew at home, and had a free day.
On the third day, Xie Qinghe also resumed his normal life, and went to the palace to teach the young emperor again.
The young emperor didn't care about listening to the class at all, he made indirect remarks all the way, asking Xie Qinghe's attitude.
Xie Qinghe put two plates of dim sum in front of the young emperor, and said, "Can your majesty eat it?"
The young emperor was taken aback.
Xie Qinghe picked up a piece of red bean cake and gave it to Young Emperor, saying: "You will be full after one bite, don't worry about what's on the plate."
Wanting to take advantage of the fire and rob the Han family is only the Heyang family's abacus. Apart from sitting and watching the situation, the young emperor has no qualifications to play table games at all.
The young emperor took the red bean pancake he gave him, and ate it slowly, leaving nothing left: "I will always grow up, and I will always have a bigger appetite."
Xie Qinghe turned a deaf ear, wiped his hands, and left the palace after class.
■
Fu Chuan didn't come back until night, Xie Qinghe left him a bowl of herbal tea to cool off the heat, and he drank a bowl before going to bed.
Since Han Lin's death, Fu Chuan has been in a bad mood, and only Xie Qinghe made him a morning and evening routine, so he can relax a bit.The weather was very stuffy that night, Xie Qinghe opened the window to let in the wind, a screen was placed in front of the bed, the two of them were not covered, and after the rain rested, they lay on the mat.
"In order to stabilize the current situation, I have to endure, endure." Fu Chuan said wearily.
Xie Qinghe slept next to him, silently.
"But the scene of him taking people to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites to hack and kill is always in front of my eyes, and I can't let it go. I have been with Han Lin for so many years, and I have countless blood on my hands. I have killed people and seen blood. Han Lin Lin is also as cold as iron... We only kill people on the battlefield."
Fu Chuan turned over uncomfortably, with the back of his neck still resting on Xie Qinghe's arm: "He told me that killing people was for the sake of gaining prestige, but also to appease the guards. He also said that this act tarnished his reputation, In the future, I will definitely return the military power to Han Zhuwen. You are right!"
This is the most uncomfortable point of Fu Chuan.Han Hui killed so many innocent people, but he was playing the role of a righteous man.
Xie Qinghe still didn't speak, just gently stroked Fu Chuan's shoulder with his hands.In such a scorching summer weather, his palms still remained fresh, and there was no sticky sweat stains when he stroked Fu Chuan. When he pinched the meridian and acupuncture points, he felt light and sometimes heavy.
"Han Zhuwen is still too young." Fu Chuan sighed.
If Han Zhuwen was three or five years older, he would never let Han Hui survive the next day just because of the brutality of Han Hui's killing at Bi Heng's house.
"You are so dissatisfied with Han Hui, can't outsiders see it?" Xie Qinghe asked suddenly.
Fu Chuan simply turned over on the bed and said, "I don't have time to deal with him. After the news of Han Lin's attack, there will be chaos in other counties. I am still worried about Han Shushi's whereabouts—he ran out, If you want to steal the military power of the troops stationed outside, it may not be impossible to succeed. I have already sent urgent orders to the camps everywhere, and I am afraid that I will not be able to make it in time..."
"Han Lin and I have worked hard for several years, and seeing a little bit of peace, the world is in chaos overnight!" Fu Chuan was deeply depressed.
"Do you know why it's so difficult?" Xie Qinghe asked.
Fu Chuan was silent for a moment, and said: "The soldiers and horses are not mine."
"A few years ago, you were lazy and stole other people's foundations, and today you will inevitably be held hostage by others. Either you go to execute Han Hui, and slowly clean up the mess. If you can't do this, you just calm down and try to get all the results." Xie Qinghe told him The happy head weighed in his arms, and he was deeply embraced, "Your current emotions are all unnecessary, and they won't help anything, and they won't help you."
What's more, Fu Chuan is in a bad mood, and he is unhappy in daily life, sitting and lying down, even the two of them Dun Lun is a little sick, and Xie Qinghe is also very uncomfortable.
"Everything in the world affects the whole body. If you want everything to be right, you will inevitably have to compromise."
Xie Qinghe pointed to the gun in the bedroom of the two of them, and comforted Fu Chuan: "If you really can't bear it, go and kill him."
Xie Qinghe's mentality is different from Fu Chuan's.
In the past six years, Fu Chuan and Han Lin have helped each other step by step, and they have paid a lot, and it is difficult to abandon the country that they have built with their own hands.His fear of Han Hui is a mouse-thrower.The cruelty displayed by Han Hui has made Fu Chuan extremely disgusted, and for the current situation, he has to compromise.
Xie Qinghe really didn't care.Han Lin is dead, Han Hui is not a good choice, and Han Zhuwen can be supported.
Han Zhuwen's inability to support him was nothing more than the disintegration of Han Lin's legacy.
In fact, Fu Chuan's moral standards have hurt his peace of mind in managing power in the world. His temper is not restrained, and he can't kill Han Hui, and he can't bear it. The forces left behind by Lin were torn apart——
Fu Chuan believed that Xie Qinghe was mocking himself, and said unhappyly: "Back then, the senior brother never objected to the decision to directly support Han Lin. Han Lin's death is a change that I cannot predict. I am not free in the situation. Steady, I have to endure the indiscriminate killing of innocent Han Hui showing off his power in front of me, and when I feel a little bit bad, the senior brother blames me for being useless?!"
These words are not very polite.Xie Qinghe had never been confronted like this before, so he was a little surprised.
The two were lying on the bed and gossiping, but Fu Chuan suddenly sat up from the bed and pointed at the pistol: "I only kill people with guns. Is the senior brother laughing at me?"
Xie Qinghe didn't want to argue with him, so he explained and comforted him: "Little brother misunderstood. I didn't mean to blame Xinxiu, nor..."
"Then what do you mean you want me to kill Han Hui?" Fu Chuan interrupted him angrily: "Can I kill Han Hui at this time? If the retainers worship me as a teacher in front of them, if I turn my back on him and kill him, how can the subordinates not make trouble? If I knew today, I would have proposed marriage to Han Lin early and became his widow, so I don’t have to be in such a dilemma!”
Fu Chuan is like a series of ignited firecrackers, one sentence is more excessive than one sentence.Perhaps in his mind, marriage proposal has no practical significance, and being Han Lin's "widow" is only out of consideration of the situation, and has nothing to do with his relationship with Xie Qinghe, Xie Qinghe is still a little unhappy.
However, knowing that the junior brother was angry, and that he had been dealing with the mess left by Han Lin for the past two days, Xie Qinghe was still unwilling to argue with Fu Chuan, and said patiently: "Every word I say is Literally, you think that Han Hui's indiscriminate killing of innocent people is an unforgivable crime, so go kill him—the situation may not be as out of hand as you imagined."
Fu Chuan stared at him angrily.
Xie Qinghe gently embraced him into his arms, and said softly: "You are hot, I will pour you a bowl of herbal tea."
But Fu Chuan struggled out of his arms, lay down on the bed, bent down to put on his clothes.
Xie Qinghe asked in amazement: "Where are you going?"
Today's Fu Chuan was too abnormal, even if he was in a bad mood because of Han Hui's incident, even if he couldn't empathize with Fu Chuan after saying a few words, it wouldn't be so violent, right?Xie Qinghe was actually a little bit lost.When I first begged my senior brother for a good friend, it wasn't like this kind of attitude of walking away and ignoring the answer?Sure enough, I got what I wanted, so I didn't take it seriously.
Fu Chuan had already put on his clothes, put on his wooden clogs, and said, "I suddenly remembered something, so I went to the study to write a few letters. Senior brother, go to bed early, and I'll be back later. If it's late at night, I will The study is closed."
Xie Qinghe couldn't say that he was losing his temper, but he followed Pi Yi out of bed and said, "There is also a desk in the bedroom. I will grind ink for you."
Fu Chuan made an excuse to go to the study to search for things and insisted on leaving.
Xie Qinghe slowly put on the clothes he was wearing, and said: "I have something to talk about, and I have something to talk about. If you don't want to sleep with me today, it's okay to just say you want to go to the study to rest. I don't have to spend day and night stick with you."
Fu Chuan was overwhelmed by his two words, and finally put down his hand to fiddle with the latch.
"I am in the middle of the game, but the senior brother is out of the world. The senior brother cannot understand my sadness. I am very disrespectful and annoying to the senior brother today, and I know it is wrong. Only tonight, I will rest alone , so as not to rely on the elder brother's love and favor, and speak arrogantly to the elder brother." Fu Chuan bowed his head and said softly.
Xie Qinghe sat down on the couch and pointed to his legs.
Fu Chuan hesitated for a moment, but he gave up his stubbornness and obediently curled up on the couch, pillowing Xie Qinghe's thigh.
"Have you ever counted how many people died before and after Han Lin sent people to dig the Yanhu stone and transported it to the capital?" Xie Qinghe asked suddenly.
Fu Chuan was left speechless when asked.Han Lin's rule was not so pure and innocent, but the laborers who died in the corvee had never been seen by Fu Chuan, and the Fengya crimes stained on the Yanhu stone were only the dim names of the deceased, which seemed less sharp.
"You always remember this matter. When Han Lin was still alive, the situation was good. You violated your upbringing and compromised in your heart. The temptation of the overall situation made you blur your dissatisfaction with this matter. Now that Han Lin is dead, The situation you compromised and insisted on is showing signs of collapse, and you are no longer willing to endure Han Hui's brutality—this is not only dissatisfaction with Han Hui, but also dissatisfaction with Han Lin, and dissatisfaction with yourself."
Xie Qinghe gently stroked Fu Chuan's loose long hair, gradually melting away his anxiety and anger.
"You deliberately quarreled with me, do you think I will reprimand you?" Xie Qinghe leaned closer to his ear and kissed him.
All Fu Chuan's anger and arrogance were dissipated by him, his ears were red, and he whispered: "I thought that if I said that I wanted to propose marriage to Han Lin, the elder brother would slap me hard... that is... I thought about it for a while. I knew right away that I was wrong." That's why I hid in the study.
"You tied yourself too tightly with the Han family. Whether it's Han Lin or Han Hui, they have nothing to do with you." Xie Qinghe said.
Fu Chuan lay on his lap obediently, shook his head and said, "If I don't help Han Lin, he won't be able to enter the capital, nor can he conscript Yunshi. If I don't point Han Hui to ask for power, it won't be his turn to attack him." Officials of the Ministry of Rites, lead people to destroy Bi Hengman's family. Senior brother, this is all my fault."
"If you think you made a mistake, why don't you change it?" Xie Qinghe asked back.
"I..." Fu Chuan just wanted to say that there was no way to change the order overnight, but it was not the first time Xie Qinghe asked him to kill Han Hui.
He suddenly realized that senior brother was serious.
"I'll think about it, I'm going to... think about it."
Of course, killing people is not the only way to stab someone with a gun, nor does it have to be punished by the law, and the person must be taken to court for questioning.
Regardless of whether it is Han Lin or Han Hui, if he wants to secure his current position and secure military power, he cannot squat in the prime minister's mansion as a mushroom, and he must lead the army to make meritorious deeds to convince the public. Once on the battlefield, many things will not be clear up.
Fu Chuan has had enough of the pain of constantly compromising for the sake of the overall situation.
Rather than betting on whether the next head of the Han family is virtuous, it is better to stretch out his hand and hold the military power of the Han family in your own hands.
■
Bad news came one after another.
First, Guo Haoting, the bandit leader of Hua'an County, approached the old scholar to write an inexplicable proclamation, accusing the Han family of coercing the emperor and harboring disobedience. , Welcome the emperor.
Immediately afterwards, more than [-] soldiers and horses stationed in Xixiang rebelled and raised the banner of Marquis Liang An.
The guard of the Xixiang garrison is Han Lin and Han Hui's half-brother Han Zhu. It is said that the reason why he surrendered to his father with his soldiers and horses is very simple. Han Zhuwen.
"My name was Han Zhu 25 years ago! I have only been ranked by brothers since then, and the order of Zhaomu is the word. The son has a grandson. We waited for the concubines to rejoice and share the glory of the successor, but the son gave the name to the grandson" Zhu Wen'! The mother-in-law offended me, or my sister-in-law stole my father-in-law and gave birth to a little brother for me!"
Anyway, he was very upset that his nephew's name offended him, and he wanted to kill his brother's family for a long time.
The plan to go to Hua'an to suppress the thieves has long been made, and the luggage has been arranged, and they can leave at any time.Han Hui believes that fighting Hua'an is also an extremely important battle for Liwei to gain a foothold.However, Liang Anhou went to Xixiang to steal more than 1 soldiers and horses, which made Han Hui very uncomfortable.
First, Xixiang is a strategically important town, pinching access to the four counties in the west.It is easy to sneak into the capital again.
Second, Han Shushi was his own father, so he took advantage of his name. It was only right for Han Shushi to beat him, and he would be struck by lightning if he beat Han Shushi. This battle was totally impossible to fight.
Fu legend: "You go to Hua'an, I go to Xixiang."
Han Hui stroked his hand and said good-bye.
Fighting Hua'an is not a big problem, and the mob will be defeated in one blow.The fear is that Han Shushi will take advantage of the fire and rob him.
If there is a team that can harass Han Shushi so that Han Shushi has no time to look after him, Han Hun will be safe in the battle against Guo Haoting in Hua'an.
The problem is, the Han family has generals who can lead troops to fight. They are either Han Shushi's brothers, nephews, or veterans who have served Han Shushi. Who is ashamed to say that I will fight Han Shushi?
Only Fu Chuan had a special status, he was qualified to send commanding generals, and he had no ties with Han Shushi due to his status.
In order to cooperate with Xixiang to stop the distribution of supplies, the plan to go to Hua'an to suppress the bandits was delayed for half a month.Han Lin was buried on July [-]th, Han Hui sent [-] troops to Hua'an to suppress the bandits, and Fu Chuan took [-] Qingqi to Xixiang.The remaining nearly [-] Han soldiers and horses were guarded by Han Zhuwen.
At this juncture, it is simply impossible for the Heyang party members not to wait for the opportunity to play tricks.
Han Zhuwen was also very smart. After seeing off Han Hui and Fu Chuan, he just squatted in Fu Mansion and did not leave. He had to pay Xie Qinghe every day.
Xie Qinghe also didn't want to see the capital in chaos, and the Heyang party members played tricks, so he called Lang Zexin back home, and accompanied Han Zhuwen to drink tea and eat melons.All in all, whoever shows up will be beaten.Fu Chuan was "fighting" in Xixiang, and no one was allowed to set fire at home.
The Lang family and the Xiao family had all suffered from Xie Qinghe's hands, knowing how powerful he was, and when Lang Zexin was taken as a "hostage", the two families fell silent.
Only the Tian family didn't give Xie Qinghe much face.
The biggest trouble for the Han family now is that it is easy to split internally. After Han Lin died, the subordinates could not agree with each other, and Han Hui owed a little weight.
Han Zhuwen only has the title of Han Lin's eldest son, but there is no shortage of heirs in the clan these days.The eldest son is not a good heir, and he directly inherits the family business from the step-heir of the partial house. This is a very basic operation in troubled times.Han Zhuwen also has a lot of cousins, his status is not to say noble, at least not as valuable as imagined.
The [-] soldiers Han Hui brought to Hua'an were all the most obedient, while those who stayed in Beijing were the retainers and generals of several uncles and brothers.
Among these people are Han Zhuwen's uncles and grandfathers, Han Zhuwen's uncles and uncles, and a lot of older brothers and grandfathers... The generations are firmly suppressing him, and they all have confidant soldiers.Nominally, they are controlled by Han Zhuwen, but the number of people Han Zhuwen can command is extremely limited.
Inciting these people to directly rebel against Han Zhuwen?This is the most stupid approach, and it is unlikely to succeed, the Tian family disdains it.
The Tian family handed over a letter to Han Qiang through an unknown channel.
This letter was written to Han Wen. At the beginning, he knew what had happened before, and in the middle, he urged Han Min to assassinate all the children left by Han Lin and blame Han Ji——Han Qiang went crazy when he saw this.Han Ji is his own father!
So Han Qiang took the letter to find Han Ji.
Han Ji is Han Lin's cousin, who is nearly 50 years old. Ever since Han Shushi was forced to leave the field, he has been quite critical of Han Lin.Probably because you, Han Lin, are also a father. If you are so ruthless and rude to your own father, aren't you afraid that future generations will follow suit?
However, Han Ji was just talking about it.Usually Han Lin has any arrangements, he raises his hand to support it faster than anyone else.
After Han Ji got the letter, she immediately suspected that someone deliberately alienated her.
Han Min, Han Ji, and Han Lin are all brothers in the next room, and their relationship is not far but not really close, and they are relatively marginalized.But in this situation, who would dare to kill Han Lin's children?Mr. Da in Fufu is not a vegetarian.So, Han Ji asked Han Qiang to post a post to Han Min, and invited Han Min to drink at the house, explain the matter clearly, and find the mastermind behind the scenes.
Han Qiang was intercepted and killed on the road, and fled all the way to Fufu. It happened that Xie Qinghe was staying at home for the summer.
Xie Qinghe asked Dalang to heal Han Qiang, and took people to Han Ji's home. Han Ji was attacked, and he was left with only one breath, and his letter disappeared.
If Xie Qinghe hadn't rushed to continue his life in person, Han Ji would have lost his last breath.Thanks to Xie Qinghe's skillful hand to rejuvenate, no one died in this incident, it was just a false alarm.According to Han Ji's description, that letter should be stamped with the old uncle's private seal - his old uncle is Han Shushi, Marquis of Liang An.After the incident was exposed, Han Wencai heard the news and swore to the sky that he had no intention of harming him.
If Han Ji died at the scene, everything would be hard to say.Since Han Ji is not dead, things can be investigated slowly.
The letter that Han Qiang got couldn't have fallen from the sky, could it?Following the clues given by Han Qiang, he touched the head of the Tian family's housekeeper step by step. The Tian family refused to admit that they conspired with Han Shushi, but the housekeeper admitted that he was bought by Han Shushi, and it had nothing to do with the Tian family.
Han Zhuwen discussed with Xie Qinghe to force the Zhongshuling of the Tian family to step down.
Xie Qinghe said: "If I were you, I wouldn't let Tian Zhongshu go home."
Han Zhuwen was puzzled: "Doesn't Mr. Da think that his family deliberately alienated?"
"Your father has been suppressing thieves during his lifetime, and the surrounding counties and counties have been cleaned up in sevens and eighties, leaving only these few places." Xie Qinghe circled the counties in Heyang, "It will be a matter of time. The Tian family is still somewhat lucky, but also somewhat scruples. You let Tanaka Shu go to the wild, completely cut off their delusion of operating in the court, and the Tian family has only one way left."
Han Zhuwen was startled in horror.
It's been less than two months since Han Lin's death, and the Han family is troubled by internal and external troubles, so they can't easily start a war with the Tian family!
"Not only can you not suppress and liquidate him now, but you have to protect him well. If something goes wrong with him..." Xie Qinghe threw a jade bowl into the lotus pond, splashing water, staining Han Zhuwen's half body.
He made an "Got it?" look.
Han Zhuwen got up quickly: "Mr. Da, this disciple will leave first!"
However, it was too late.
Han Min and Han Qiang each took their troops and circled around the Tian family mansion every day, pouring manure today, watering fertilizer tomorrow, beating gongs and drums in the middle of the night, and invited a group of monks and priests to recite scriptures around the courtyard wall to make a dojo—— Without Han Zhuwen's specific orders, they didn't dare to go too far. If they can't hit you, I'll piss you off and annoy you to death!
The Tian family was as stable as an old dog, and the Han family harassed them whatever they wanted. The gates were closed tightly, and they were kept silent, even splashing water for cleaning in the middle of the night.
The Lang family ran away.
Half a year ago, when Xie Qinghe returned to Beijing, in order to balance the situation in Beijing, Fu Chuan forced Lang Hui to go down the field.
At that time, Lang Hui returned to his hometown in Heyang, only Lang Zexin was left in Beijing to preside over the overall situation, and a few other officials of the third and fifth ranks were in charge of soy sauce in the court.Now the situation is changing too fast. After Han Lin's death, the Lang family nominally avoided disputes and went out of the city to spend the summer under the pretext of going out of the city one after another. The Han family even sent people to watch them.
At this moment, the attention of the Han family was on the Tian family, and the Lang family who was spending the summer outside the city quietly ran away.
Only Lang Zexin, who was tied up as a hostage in Fu Mansion, was left.
"They won't discuss it with me if they want to run away." Lang Zexin said pitifully, "Master, you have to protect me."
Xie Qinghe thought for a while and said, "I don't have guards here. If you want to leave, leave as soon as possible."
Lang Zexin is extremely conceited and cunning, he and Da Lang Erlang have a very deep friendship, he thinks his cultivation level is not low, and he doesn't think the situation will deteriorate quickly.Even if the Lang family raises the flag in Heyang, the two sides probably won't start a war right away.What's more, how can he be regarded as an envoy?The two countries have not yet come to war.
What he didn't know was that the situation could really deteriorate very quickly.
After the Lang family rolled up and left Beijing, the Lang family quickly raised the flag in Ancheng County, Heyang, and at the same time spread the word to the world, wanting to punish disobedient ministers and welcome the emperor.
As Lang Zexin thought, the Han family didn't kill him right away to protest, they just asked the court to demote Lang Zexin as a commoner as a traitor, and put him under house arrest, not allowing him to move around at will.
Erlang missed his old love and went to visit Lang's house.
"If you want to leave, I will take care of you." Erlang said earnestly.
Lang Zexin shook his head and said, "This battle may not come to fruition after three to five years of fighting. If I want to leave, I will leave together a few days ago."
Erlang frowned and said: "Master will not persuade people easily. He once instructed you to go, you should be obedient."
Lang Zexin laughed and said, "Back then the Eunuch Party was so powerful, and Marquis Liang An was ordered by the late emperor to assassinate courtiers. Wouldn't it be possible for me to hide in your small courtyard and survive? With Mr. Da around, I don't believe that the Han family would dare to kill me." .”
"With Mr. Da here, isn't Han Lin dead too?" Erlang said angrily.Seeing that I can't be persuaded, I have no choice but to leave.
With [-] troops from the Han family stationed in the capital, the Young Emperor did not delay in granting Han Hui the chancellor.
Han Hui entered the palace in the evening to ask for an order, and the young emperor summoned Han Mo into the palace overnight, and immediately issued the order to the world, and asked Han Lin hypocritically how he was doing.Knowing that Han Lin was indeed dead, the young emperor opened the palace door again at night, summoned the Minister of Rites, and asked Bi Shangshu to come to Han Lin's funeral overnight.
Coincidentally, this Bi Shangshu was the one Han Lin severely offended just two months ago.
——At the beginning when Mrs. Wei was investigating Lu's background, the arrogant soldiers knocked on the door of Bi Shangshu's house in the middle of the night, and tortured his sister-in-law in front of Bi Shangshu.
The so-called punishment is not a doctor, because the person being punished has no dignity at all.Husbands can't bear such insults, let alone women?Bi Shangshu's younger brother and daughter-in-law were brutally tortured by the prime minister's guards under the watchful eyes of the public. She exposed her breasts and shed blood and tears, and committed suicide afterwards.
Han Lin and Mrs. Wei didn't take the humiliation farce that Bi Shangshu's house suffered at all. Instead, they felt a kind of forgiveness and self-satisfaction that "I didn't kill you, old Bi, and I gave the court face".Afterwards, Fu Chuan came to appease him, but he only gave Bi Shangshu a ladder to step down in embarrassment. Otherwise, how could Bi Shangshu have the face to continue to be an official if he was humiliated by the prime minister's house?
The minister of the Ministry of Rites is in charge of icing on the cake. He has no soldiers and no power. The Han family really can ignore him.
Unexpectedly, two months later, Han Lin died.
The funeral fell into the hands of Bi Shangshu, and the court entrusted Bi Shangshu to handle it.
After Bi Shangshu got the decree, he went out of the palace to discuss with Han Hui, where did the mansion plan to set up the funeral shed of the former Prime Minister Han Gong?
It is natural to set up a mourning hall for funerals.Except for the funeral of the heavenly family, where the spirit is moved to worship the temple, the mourning halls of ordinary people are set up in their own homes.The elders live in the master, and the young live in the side. The ritual scriptures from ancient times to the present have all been written clearly, without any mistakes or omissions.
The problem is, most of the prime minister's mansion was flattened, and the front hall was filled with injured guards and servants, which was a mess.
Bi Shangshu believed that this rotten prime minister's mansion was not worthy of Han Lin's mourning hall, and he asked where the funeral shed should be built because he wanted to move the place.
The most important thing for Han Hui right now is to gain a firm foothold. After the official decree, he has to offer tea to Fu Chuan and worship him as his husband.
The matter of entering the palace to ask for an edict might require the overlord to force his bow, so Han Hui took his soldiers and horses and went by himself without letting anyone watch. The matter of apprenticeship is different. Fu Chuan will definitely cooperate with him. The generals of the Han family who didn't know the truth and were panic-stricken watched the ceremony together, and took the opportunity to settle the matter of settling down. As for how to arrange the funeral for Han Lin, they had to take a step back.
"Since the imperial court entrusts Lord Shangshu to handle this matter, please give me your advice." Han Hui was so busy that he casually pointed to a confidant cousin Han Lu to Bi Shangshu, "Brother Lu, follow Lord Bi, and ask again if you have anything to do." I."
Han Hui always took Han Zhuwen with him.
Brother and brother are not orthodox, and Han Zhuwen speaks for him by his side, saving him a lot of tongue.
Han Lin and Han Hui were fighting fiercely a few years ago. After Han Shushi left the field, Han Hui followed Han Lin as a pawn. In the past two years, the two brothers got along fairly peacefully. However, many of them had followed Han Lin for a long time. The old veterans, the habitual dislike of Han Hui has not yet been eradicated.
At this moment, Han Lin died suddenly, and Han Hui came forward to gather the military power, so this wave of soldiers would naturally have a heart of resistance.
Han Zhuwen followed Han Hui, calling his uncle towards this side, and his father over there, crying and saying that he would overcome the difficulties together, saying that this was what Mr. Fu meant, and that many soldiers who wanted to make trouble and refuse to obey Silence fell.
At this time, Han Lu came over in a hurry and complained to Han Hui: "Brother Hui, Bi Shangshu said that there is no reason to go to another house to borrow a house to build a funeral shed. Borrowing the altar of Ji from the emperor? Anyway, that place is also the place where the imperial court sacrifices to Ji Yingchen..."
Before finishing a sentence, Han Hui cursed and asked angrily, "Where is Bi Heng?!"
Han Zhuwen hurriedly tugged at him: "Uncle Hui calm down, Qian..."
Han Lu pointed in the direction, and Han Hui had already rushed over in stride.Over there, Bi Shangshu was still instructing the officials of the Ministry of Rites to arrange the funeral and was speaking in a low voice. Han Hun suddenly rushed into the crowd, pulled out the long knife worn by the guard around him, and slashed at Bi Shangshu's neck!
The scene froze for a moment.
Seeing Bi Shangshu's stubby body with his head lost, the officials of the Ministry of Rites woke up from the shock and ran away one after another.
Han Hui had blood on the long knife in his hand, his eyes were red, and he said to the officials of the Ministry of Rites who were scattered like birds and beasts: "You are all respectful men supported by the court. My eldest brother died in an attack, and your minister actually asked me to enter the palace to ask the emperor for an order. My elder brother's mourning hall is built in the altar of Ji. What is the altar of Ji? It is a place where gods of heaven and earth are worshiped together with the altar of heaven and earth. The place where emperors and ministers of all ages! Why are you running away? Are you with him?!"
Before the officials from the Ministry of Rituals conceded and admitted their mistakes, Han Hui's mentality, which had been tense for a day and a night, almost collapsed, and he raised his knife and slashed wildly.
Seeing that Han Zhuwen couldn't hold back, he quickly told the people around him: "Go and ask Mr. Fu!"
All the guards around the scene only recognized Han Hui's orders.Seeing Han Hui slashing people with a knife, not only did he not stop him, but he also helped Han Hui push the officials of the Ministry of Rites who escaped back to the field. Han Hui also practiced martial arts since childhood and practiced diligently.Before the servants Han Zhuwen sent out to find Fu Chuan ran out of the courtyard, all the officials from the Ministry of Rites were killed.
Han Hui still refused to give up, saying: "Bi Heng should not have been left behind that day! I lost my father and brother, and the treacherous villain dared to frame things in the name of mourning. Today, the elder brother will bleed before his death, and he will not take revenge. , How can you make the elder brother safe under the nine springs?! Order troops, Bi Mansion!"
Han Zhuwen hurried forward: "Uncle, please wait a moment, please think twice about this..."
Han Hui was extremely fierce to outsiders, but he was kind to Han Zhuwen. With one hand on Han Zhuwen's shoulder, he said in a low voice, "His family has a deep feud with us. If we can't cut the roots, how can we never see what happened today? Think about it, if the news that your father's mourning hall is going to be placed in the altar of Ji spreads, outsiders will not care whether the proposal is his, Bi Heng's or my family's, they will only think that my family is rebellious and spying on the imperial city—"
Speaking of this, Han Hui's voice was even lower, and only Han Zhuwen could hear: "If your father and my brother are here, we will not be afraid of rumors. Now that he is gone, if you and I cannot stand firmly, the world will be in trouble in an instant! He I have a sinister heart, and I have the intention to kill people and establish power, just right."
"Wait another quarter of an hour, you can come to Bi Mansion to stop me! Zhu Wen, I do evil things, you sit in peace, Uncle will live up to you."
After saying this, Han Hui wiped the blood from the long knife on Han Zhuwen's sleeve: "Let's go!"
Han Zhuwen could only feel a rumble in his ears, and what Han Hui said made him feel hot all over and tears filled his eyes.
When Fu heard the news, Han Hui had already left for a while, and Han Zhuwen was still standing at the door, watching the guards pick up the corpses of officials from the Ministry of Rites one by one.Fu Chuan asked, "Where's Han Hui?"
Han Zhuwen woke up like a dream: "He... went to Bi Heng's house. It's been a while."
Fu Chuan was very surprised by Han Zhuwen's reaction, but at this time, he didn't have the time to blame Han Zhuwen for not stopping Han Hui.
What good can Han Hui do when he goes to Bi Heng's house?It can't be just to report the funeral for Bi's family, right?
Fu Chuan didn't care about preparing chariots and horses, so he flew directly over the eaves and flew towards the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Mansion.
The Mansion of the Minister of Rites has become a hell on earth.
In the dark night, candles were burning everywhere, and during the fight, candles touched the ground, lighting the curtains, and they burned instantly.
Along the way, there were slaves and servants who had been cut to the ground, with broken arms and limbs, and blood all over the ground.Not only was Han Hui holding his breath and there was nowhere to release him, but so was the guard who accompanied him to kill—many comrades died in the prime minister's mansion, and he had nowhere to avenge and was full of grief.
It happened that it was Han Shushi who caused this tragedy.
The son didn't say anything about his father's faults, and the prime minister's mansion suffered such a big loss, so he didn't dare to complain loudly, and didn't dare to set up Han Shushi as a target.
Everyone in the Han family was extremely aggrieved, and they were all immersed in the pain of "death is for nothing".
At this time, Bi Heng came to the gun.
Bi Heng thought that after Han Lin's death, the prime minister's mansion was in chaos, and he wanted to take advantage of the glory and infinite expansion of power after death to frame the disobedient minister, but he didn't know that Han Hui, who was in charge, was cautious and was bound by etiquette all his life. Han Lin is so arrogant.
If Han Lin was in charge, he would be able to build the mourning hall to Jitan.
Unfortunately, Han Hui is not Han Lin.
Bi Heng's inadvertent act became a target for the Han family to vent their anger and sorrow. Han Hui wanted to deter all forces and relieve the emotions of the family's guards after being injured. The entire Ministry of Rites and Minister's Mansion suffered.
Fu Chuanfei leaned against the wall and said angrily, "Stop!"
The Mansion of the Ministry of Rites was full of flames, after all it was still night, Fu Chuan was standing on the wall, no one could see his figure clearly.
However, his voice was all too familiar.Most of the government guards have listened to his advice on the battlefield, and received his rescue and comfort when they were injured.After all, it's only been one day since Han Lin's death, and everyone hasn't gotten rid of the old habits - Han Lin's orders are the most important, followed by Mr. Fu's words.
As for Han Hui?Doesn't he also obey Mr. Fu's orders?
"Get out." Fu Chuan ordered.
The guards who were stopped by Fu Chuan obediently retreated to the Minister of Rites' mansion to stand by. Fu Chuan searched everywhere, and when he found Han Hui, almost all the blood relatives in Bi Heng's family were slaughtered, leaving only one who was not favored and raised in a remote place. The concubine's room at the office raised a daughter who was less than two years old.
Fu Chuan stared closely at Han Hui's eyes, saw that his body was covered with blood, and the long knife still had flesh and blood, so he said after a while, "Go back."
Han Hui threw the raised torch into the main hall of Bi Mansion, and turned around coldly with a knife in his hand.
■
The massacre in the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites shocked the entire capital, and the young emperor was furious at Bi Heng's death, thinking that Han Hui was too brutal.
However, it is useless to say anything.The [-] troops of the Han family stationed in the capital, at least no one in the capital dared to wrestle with the Han family.After the young emperor rubbed and danced his feet secretly in the palace, he asked the palace supervisor to go to the prime minister's mansion to express his condolences, and arranged for the servant of the Ministry of Rites to come again to attend Han Lin's funeral.
The servant of the Ministry of Rites who came here is the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Deng, Marquis of Cheng En.This servant has no skills. As a servant of the Ministry of Rites, it seems that he has not even read the book of rites and etiquette.There is only one, gentle and handsome, who smiles subtly when he sees people, giving people a kind feeling that is like a spring breeze, and he is not embarrassed to hate him at all.
The most important thing is that Deng Fu and Mrs. Wei's younger brother Wei Ji have been friends for many years.When he took the order to run a business, he dragged Wei Ji along along the way.
— After all, I was also afraid of being cut off.
After experiencing the extermination of the family of the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Han Hui has a fierce reputation.
In the end, Han Lin's funeral was still scheduled to be held in the half-collapsed Prime Minister's Mansion. Officials from the Ministry of Rites and Mrs. Wei's family were the main force, while the Prime Minister's Mansion was busy cleaning up the battlefield and repairing the shattered houses.
Fu Chuan is busy in the Prime Minister's Mansion every day.
Xie Qinghe was different from him. After the seriously wounded in the Prime Minister's Mansion were settled, he left and went back.On the day of rescue at the prime minister's mansion, the emperor's painting class was delayed, and the next day was a rest day, so he didn't urge Fu Chuan to go home to accompany him, he wrote and drew at home, and had a free day.
On the third day, Xie Qinghe also resumed his normal life, and went to the palace to teach the young emperor again.
The young emperor didn't care about listening to the class at all, he made indirect remarks all the way, asking Xie Qinghe's attitude.
Xie Qinghe put two plates of dim sum in front of the young emperor, and said, "Can your majesty eat it?"
The young emperor was taken aback.
Xie Qinghe picked up a piece of red bean cake and gave it to Young Emperor, saying: "You will be full after one bite, don't worry about what's on the plate."
Wanting to take advantage of the fire and rob the Han family is only the Heyang family's abacus. Apart from sitting and watching the situation, the young emperor has no qualifications to play table games at all.
The young emperor took the red bean pancake he gave him, and ate it slowly, leaving nothing left: "I will always grow up, and I will always have a bigger appetite."
Xie Qinghe turned a deaf ear, wiped his hands, and left the palace after class.
■
Fu Chuan didn't come back until night, Xie Qinghe left him a bowl of herbal tea to cool off the heat, and he drank a bowl before going to bed.
Since Han Lin's death, Fu Chuan has been in a bad mood, and only Xie Qinghe made him a morning and evening routine, so he can relax a bit.The weather was very stuffy that night, Xie Qinghe opened the window to let in the wind, a screen was placed in front of the bed, the two of them were not covered, and after the rain rested, they lay on the mat.
"In order to stabilize the current situation, I have to endure, endure." Fu Chuan said wearily.
Xie Qinghe slept next to him, silently.
"But the scene of him taking people to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites to hack and kill is always in front of my eyes, and I can't let it go. I have been with Han Lin for so many years, and I have countless blood on my hands. I have killed people and seen blood. Han Lin Lin is also as cold as iron... We only kill people on the battlefield."
Fu Chuan turned over uncomfortably, with the back of his neck still resting on Xie Qinghe's arm: "He told me that killing people was for the sake of gaining prestige, but also to appease the guards. He also said that this act tarnished his reputation, In the future, I will definitely return the military power to Han Zhuwen. You are right!"
This is the most uncomfortable point of Fu Chuan.Han Hui killed so many innocent people, but he was playing the role of a righteous man.
Xie Qinghe still didn't speak, just gently stroked Fu Chuan's shoulder with his hands.In such a scorching summer weather, his palms still remained fresh, and there was no sticky sweat stains when he stroked Fu Chuan. When he pinched the meridian and acupuncture points, he felt light and sometimes heavy.
"Han Zhuwen is still too young." Fu Chuan sighed.
If Han Zhuwen was three or five years older, he would never let Han Hui survive the next day just because of the brutality of Han Hui's killing at Bi Heng's house.
"You are so dissatisfied with Han Hui, can't outsiders see it?" Xie Qinghe asked suddenly.
Fu Chuan simply turned over on the bed and said, "I don't have time to deal with him. After the news of Han Lin's attack, there will be chaos in other counties. I am still worried about Han Shushi's whereabouts—he ran out, If you want to steal the military power of the troops stationed outside, it may not be impossible to succeed. I have already sent urgent orders to the camps everywhere, and I am afraid that I will not be able to make it in time..."
"Han Lin and I have worked hard for several years, and seeing a little bit of peace, the world is in chaos overnight!" Fu Chuan was deeply depressed.
"Do you know why it's so difficult?" Xie Qinghe asked.
Fu Chuan was silent for a moment, and said: "The soldiers and horses are not mine."
"A few years ago, you were lazy and stole other people's foundations, and today you will inevitably be held hostage by others. Either you go to execute Han Hui, and slowly clean up the mess. If you can't do this, you just calm down and try to get all the results." Xie Qinghe told him The happy head weighed in his arms, and he was deeply embraced, "Your current emotions are all unnecessary, and they won't help anything, and they won't help you."
What's more, Fu Chuan is in a bad mood, and he is unhappy in daily life, sitting and lying down, even the two of them Dun Lun is a little sick, and Xie Qinghe is also very uncomfortable.
"Everything in the world affects the whole body. If you want everything to be right, you will inevitably have to compromise."
Xie Qinghe pointed to the gun in the bedroom of the two of them, and comforted Fu Chuan: "If you really can't bear it, go and kill him."
Xie Qinghe's mentality is different from Fu Chuan's.
In the past six years, Fu Chuan and Han Lin have helped each other step by step, and they have paid a lot, and it is difficult to abandon the country that they have built with their own hands.His fear of Han Hui is a mouse-thrower.The cruelty displayed by Han Hui has made Fu Chuan extremely disgusted, and for the current situation, he has to compromise.
Xie Qinghe really didn't care.Han Lin is dead, Han Hui is not a good choice, and Han Zhuwen can be supported.
Han Zhuwen's inability to support him was nothing more than the disintegration of Han Lin's legacy.
In fact, Fu Chuan's moral standards have hurt his peace of mind in managing power in the world. His temper is not restrained, and he can't kill Han Hui, and he can't bear it. The forces left behind by Lin were torn apart——
Fu Chuan believed that Xie Qinghe was mocking himself, and said unhappyly: "Back then, the senior brother never objected to the decision to directly support Han Lin. Han Lin's death is a change that I cannot predict. I am not free in the situation. Steady, I have to endure the indiscriminate killing of innocent Han Hui showing off his power in front of me, and when I feel a little bit bad, the senior brother blames me for being useless?!"
These words are not very polite.Xie Qinghe had never been confronted like this before, so he was a little surprised.
The two were lying on the bed and gossiping, but Fu Chuan suddenly sat up from the bed and pointed at the pistol: "I only kill people with guns. Is the senior brother laughing at me?"
Xie Qinghe didn't want to argue with him, so he explained and comforted him: "Little brother misunderstood. I didn't mean to blame Xinxiu, nor..."
"Then what do you mean you want me to kill Han Hui?" Fu Chuan interrupted him angrily: "Can I kill Han Hui at this time? If the retainers worship me as a teacher in front of them, if I turn my back on him and kill him, how can the subordinates not make trouble? If I knew today, I would have proposed marriage to Han Lin early and became his widow, so I don’t have to be in such a dilemma!”
Fu Chuan is like a series of ignited firecrackers, one sentence is more excessive than one sentence.Perhaps in his mind, marriage proposal has no practical significance, and being Han Lin's "widow" is only out of consideration of the situation, and has nothing to do with his relationship with Xie Qinghe, Xie Qinghe is still a little unhappy.
However, knowing that the junior brother was angry, and that he had been dealing with the mess left by Han Lin for the past two days, Xie Qinghe was still unwilling to argue with Fu Chuan, and said patiently: "Every word I say is Literally, you think that Han Hui's indiscriminate killing of innocent people is an unforgivable crime, so go kill him—the situation may not be as out of hand as you imagined."
Fu Chuan stared at him angrily.
Xie Qinghe gently embraced him into his arms, and said softly: "You are hot, I will pour you a bowl of herbal tea."
But Fu Chuan struggled out of his arms, lay down on the bed, bent down to put on his clothes.
Xie Qinghe asked in amazement: "Where are you going?"
Today's Fu Chuan was too abnormal, even if he was in a bad mood because of Han Hui's incident, even if he couldn't empathize with Fu Chuan after saying a few words, it wouldn't be so violent, right?Xie Qinghe was actually a little bit lost.When I first begged my senior brother for a good friend, it wasn't like this kind of attitude of walking away and ignoring the answer?Sure enough, I got what I wanted, so I didn't take it seriously.
Fu Chuan had already put on his clothes, put on his wooden clogs, and said, "I suddenly remembered something, so I went to the study to write a few letters. Senior brother, go to bed early, and I'll be back later. If it's late at night, I will The study is closed."
Xie Qinghe couldn't say that he was losing his temper, but he followed Pi Yi out of bed and said, "There is also a desk in the bedroom. I will grind ink for you."
Fu Chuan made an excuse to go to the study to search for things and insisted on leaving.
Xie Qinghe slowly put on the clothes he was wearing, and said: "I have something to talk about, and I have something to talk about. If you don't want to sleep with me today, it's okay to just say you want to go to the study to rest. I don't have to spend day and night stick with you."
Fu Chuan was overwhelmed by his two words, and finally put down his hand to fiddle with the latch.
"I am in the middle of the game, but the senior brother is out of the world. The senior brother cannot understand my sadness. I am very disrespectful and annoying to the senior brother today, and I know it is wrong. Only tonight, I will rest alone , so as not to rely on the elder brother's love and favor, and speak arrogantly to the elder brother." Fu Chuan bowed his head and said softly.
Xie Qinghe sat down on the couch and pointed to his legs.
Fu Chuan hesitated for a moment, but he gave up his stubbornness and obediently curled up on the couch, pillowing Xie Qinghe's thigh.
"Have you ever counted how many people died before and after Han Lin sent people to dig the Yanhu stone and transported it to the capital?" Xie Qinghe asked suddenly.
Fu Chuan was left speechless when asked.Han Lin's rule was not so pure and innocent, but the laborers who died in the corvee had never been seen by Fu Chuan, and the Fengya crimes stained on the Yanhu stone were only the dim names of the deceased, which seemed less sharp.
"You always remember this matter. When Han Lin was still alive, the situation was good. You violated your upbringing and compromised in your heart. The temptation of the overall situation made you blur your dissatisfaction with this matter. Now that Han Lin is dead, The situation you compromised and insisted on is showing signs of collapse, and you are no longer willing to endure Han Hui's brutality—this is not only dissatisfaction with Han Hui, but also dissatisfaction with Han Lin, and dissatisfaction with yourself."
Xie Qinghe gently stroked Fu Chuan's loose long hair, gradually melting away his anxiety and anger.
"You deliberately quarreled with me, do you think I will reprimand you?" Xie Qinghe leaned closer to his ear and kissed him.
All Fu Chuan's anger and arrogance were dissipated by him, his ears were red, and he whispered: "I thought that if I said that I wanted to propose marriage to Han Lin, the elder brother would slap me hard... that is... I thought about it for a while. I knew right away that I was wrong." That's why I hid in the study.
"You tied yourself too tightly with the Han family. Whether it's Han Lin or Han Hui, they have nothing to do with you." Xie Qinghe said.
Fu Chuan lay on his lap obediently, shook his head and said, "If I don't help Han Lin, he won't be able to enter the capital, nor can he conscript Yunshi. If I don't point Han Hui to ask for power, it won't be his turn to attack him." Officials of the Ministry of Rites, lead people to destroy Bi Hengman's family. Senior brother, this is all my fault."
"If you think you made a mistake, why don't you change it?" Xie Qinghe asked back.
"I..." Fu Chuan just wanted to say that there was no way to change the order overnight, but it was not the first time Xie Qinghe asked him to kill Han Hui.
He suddenly realized that senior brother was serious.
"I'll think about it, I'm going to... think about it."
Of course, killing people is not the only way to stab someone with a gun, nor does it have to be punished by the law, and the person must be taken to court for questioning.
Regardless of whether it is Han Lin or Han Hui, if he wants to secure his current position and secure military power, he cannot squat in the prime minister's mansion as a mushroom, and he must lead the army to make meritorious deeds to convince the public. Once on the battlefield, many things will not be clear up.
Fu Chuan has had enough of the pain of constantly compromising for the sake of the overall situation.
Rather than betting on whether the next head of the Han family is virtuous, it is better to stretch out his hand and hold the military power of the Han family in your own hands.
■
Bad news came one after another.
First, Guo Haoting, the bandit leader of Hua'an County, approached the old scholar to write an inexplicable proclamation, accusing the Han family of coercing the emperor and harboring disobedience. , Welcome the emperor.
Immediately afterwards, more than [-] soldiers and horses stationed in Xixiang rebelled and raised the banner of Marquis Liang An.
The guard of the Xixiang garrison is Han Lin and Han Hui's half-brother Han Zhu. It is said that the reason why he surrendered to his father with his soldiers and horses is very simple. Han Zhuwen.
"My name was Han Zhu 25 years ago! I have only been ranked by brothers since then, and the order of Zhaomu is the word. The son has a grandson. We waited for the concubines to rejoice and share the glory of the successor, but the son gave the name to the grandson" Zhu Wen'! The mother-in-law offended me, or my sister-in-law stole my father-in-law and gave birth to a little brother for me!"
Anyway, he was very upset that his nephew's name offended him, and he wanted to kill his brother's family for a long time.
The plan to go to Hua'an to suppress the thieves has long been made, and the luggage has been arranged, and they can leave at any time.Han Hui believes that fighting Hua'an is also an extremely important battle for Liwei to gain a foothold.However, Liang Anhou went to Xixiang to steal more than 1 soldiers and horses, which made Han Hui very uncomfortable.
First, Xixiang is a strategically important town, pinching access to the four counties in the west.It is easy to sneak into the capital again.
Second, Han Shushi was his own father, so he took advantage of his name. It was only right for Han Shushi to beat him, and he would be struck by lightning if he beat Han Shushi. This battle was totally impossible to fight.
Fu legend: "You go to Hua'an, I go to Xixiang."
Han Hui stroked his hand and said good-bye.
Fighting Hua'an is not a big problem, and the mob will be defeated in one blow.The fear is that Han Shushi will take advantage of the fire and rob him.
If there is a team that can harass Han Shushi so that Han Shushi has no time to look after him, Han Hun will be safe in the battle against Guo Haoting in Hua'an.
The problem is, the Han family has generals who can lead troops to fight. They are either Han Shushi's brothers, nephews, or veterans who have served Han Shushi. Who is ashamed to say that I will fight Han Shushi?
Only Fu Chuan had a special status, he was qualified to send commanding generals, and he had no ties with Han Shushi due to his status.
In order to cooperate with Xixiang to stop the distribution of supplies, the plan to go to Hua'an to suppress the bandits was delayed for half a month.Han Lin was buried on July [-]th, Han Hui sent [-] troops to Hua'an to suppress the bandits, and Fu Chuan took [-] Qingqi to Xixiang.The remaining nearly [-] Han soldiers and horses were guarded by Han Zhuwen.
At this juncture, it is simply impossible for the Heyang party members not to wait for the opportunity to play tricks.
Han Zhuwen was also very smart. After seeing off Han Hui and Fu Chuan, he just squatted in Fu Mansion and did not leave. He had to pay Xie Qinghe every day.
Xie Qinghe also didn't want to see the capital in chaos, and the Heyang party members played tricks, so he called Lang Zexin back home, and accompanied Han Zhuwen to drink tea and eat melons.All in all, whoever shows up will be beaten.Fu Chuan was "fighting" in Xixiang, and no one was allowed to set fire at home.
The Lang family and the Xiao family had all suffered from Xie Qinghe's hands, knowing how powerful he was, and when Lang Zexin was taken as a "hostage", the two families fell silent.
Only the Tian family didn't give Xie Qinghe much face.
The biggest trouble for the Han family now is that it is easy to split internally. After Han Lin died, the subordinates could not agree with each other, and Han Hui owed a little weight.
Han Zhuwen only has the title of Han Lin's eldest son, but there is no shortage of heirs in the clan these days.The eldest son is not a good heir, and he directly inherits the family business from the step-heir of the partial house. This is a very basic operation in troubled times.Han Zhuwen also has a lot of cousins, his status is not to say noble, at least not as valuable as imagined.
The [-] soldiers Han Hui brought to Hua'an were all the most obedient, while those who stayed in Beijing were the retainers and generals of several uncles and brothers.
Among these people are Han Zhuwen's uncles and grandfathers, Han Zhuwen's uncles and uncles, and a lot of older brothers and grandfathers... The generations are firmly suppressing him, and they all have confidant soldiers.Nominally, they are controlled by Han Zhuwen, but the number of people Han Zhuwen can command is extremely limited.
Inciting these people to directly rebel against Han Zhuwen?This is the most stupid approach, and it is unlikely to succeed, the Tian family disdains it.
The Tian family handed over a letter to Han Qiang through an unknown channel.
This letter was written to Han Wen. At the beginning, he knew what had happened before, and in the middle, he urged Han Min to assassinate all the children left by Han Lin and blame Han Ji——Han Qiang went crazy when he saw this.Han Ji is his own father!
So Han Qiang took the letter to find Han Ji.
Han Ji is Han Lin's cousin, who is nearly 50 years old. Ever since Han Shushi was forced to leave the field, he has been quite critical of Han Lin.Probably because you, Han Lin, are also a father. If you are so ruthless and rude to your own father, aren't you afraid that future generations will follow suit?
However, Han Ji was just talking about it.Usually Han Lin has any arrangements, he raises his hand to support it faster than anyone else.
After Han Ji got the letter, she immediately suspected that someone deliberately alienated her.
Han Min, Han Ji, and Han Lin are all brothers in the next room, and their relationship is not far but not really close, and they are relatively marginalized.But in this situation, who would dare to kill Han Lin's children?Mr. Da in Fufu is not a vegetarian.So, Han Ji asked Han Qiang to post a post to Han Min, and invited Han Min to drink at the house, explain the matter clearly, and find the mastermind behind the scenes.
Han Qiang was intercepted and killed on the road, and fled all the way to Fufu. It happened that Xie Qinghe was staying at home for the summer.
Xie Qinghe asked Dalang to heal Han Qiang, and took people to Han Ji's home. Han Ji was attacked, and he was left with only one breath, and his letter disappeared.
If Xie Qinghe hadn't rushed to continue his life in person, Han Ji would have lost his last breath.Thanks to Xie Qinghe's skillful hand to rejuvenate, no one died in this incident, it was just a false alarm.According to Han Ji's description, that letter should be stamped with the old uncle's private seal - his old uncle is Han Shushi, Marquis of Liang An.After the incident was exposed, Han Wencai heard the news and swore to the sky that he had no intention of harming him.
If Han Ji died at the scene, everything would be hard to say.Since Han Ji is not dead, things can be investigated slowly.
The letter that Han Qiang got couldn't have fallen from the sky, could it?Following the clues given by Han Qiang, he touched the head of the Tian family's housekeeper step by step. The Tian family refused to admit that they conspired with Han Shushi, but the housekeeper admitted that he was bought by Han Shushi, and it had nothing to do with the Tian family.
Han Zhuwen discussed with Xie Qinghe to force the Zhongshuling of the Tian family to step down.
Xie Qinghe said: "If I were you, I wouldn't let Tian Zhongshu go home."
Han Zhuwen was puzzled: "Doesn't Mr. Da think that his family deliberately alienated?"
"Your father has been suppressing thieves during his lifetime, and the surrounding counties and counties have been cleaned up in sevens and eighties, leaving only these few places." Xie Qinghe circled the counties in Heyang, "It will be a matter of time. The Tian family is still somewhat lucky, but also somewhat scruples. You let Tanaka Shu go to the wild, completely cut off their delusion of operating in the court, and the Tian family has only one way left."
Han Zhuwen was startled in horror.
It's been less than two months since Han Lin's death, and the Han family is troubled by internal and external troubles, so they can't easily start a war with the Tian family!
"Not only can you not suppress and liquidate him now, but you have to protect him well. If something goes wrong with him..." Xie Qinghe threw a jade bowl into the lotus pond, splashing water, staining Han Zhuwen's half body.
He made an "Got it?" look.
Han Zhuwen got up quickly: "Mr. Da, this disciple will leave first!"
However, it was too late.
Han Min and Han Qiang each took their troops and circled around the Tian family mansion every day, pouring manure today, watering fertilizer tomorrow, beating gongs and drums in the middle of the night, and invited a group of monks and priests to recite scriptures around the courtyard wall to make a dojo—— Without Han Zhuwen's specific orders, they didn't dare to go too far. If they can't hit you, I'll piss you off and annoy you to death!
The Tian family was as stable as an old dog, and the Han family harassed them whatever they wanted. The gates were closed tightly, and they were kept silent, even splashing water for cleaning in the middle of the night.
The Lang family ran away.
Half a year ago, when Xie Qinghe returned to Beijing, in order to balance the situation in Beijing, Fu Chuan forced Lang Hui to go down the field.
At that time, Lang Hui returned to his hometown in Heyang, only Lang Zexin was left in Beijing to preside over the overall situation, and a few other officials of the third and fifth ranks were in charge of soy sauce in the court.Now the situation is changing too fast. After Han Lin's death, the Lang family nominally avoided disputes and went out of the city to spend the summer under the pretext of going out of the city one after another. The Han family even sent people to watch them.
At this moment, the attention of the Han family was on the Tian family, and the Lang family who was spending the summer outside the city quietly ran away.
Only Lang Zexin, who was tied up as a hostage in Fu Mansion, was left.
"They won't discuss it with me if they want to run away." Lang Zexin said pitifully, "Master, you have to protect me."
Xie Qinghe thought for a while and said, "I don't have guards here. If you want to leave, leave as soon as possible."
Lang Zexin is extremely conceited and cunning, he and Da Lang Erlang have a very deep friendship, he thinks his cultivation level is not low, and he doesn't think the situation will deteriorate quickly.Even if the Lang family raises the flag in Heyang, the two sides probably won't start a war right away.What's more, how can he be regarded as an envoy?The two countries have not yet come to war.
What he didn't know was that the situation could really deteriorate very quickly.
After the Lang family rolled up and left Beijing, the Lang family quickly raised the flag in Ancheng County, Heyang, and at the same time spread the word to the world, wanting to punish disobedient ministers and welcome the emperor.
As Lang Zexin thought, the Han family didn't kill him right away to protest, they just asked the court to demote Lang Zexin as a commoner as a traitor, and put him under house arrest, not allowing him to move around at will.
Erlang missed his old love and went to visit Lang's house.
"If you want to leave, I will take care of you." Erlang said earnestly.
Lang Zexin shook his head and said, "This battle may not come to fruition after three to five years of fighting. If I want to leave, I will leave together a few days ago."
Erlang frowned and said: "Master will not persuade people easily. He once instructed you to go, you should be obedient."
Lang Zexin laughed and said, "Back then the Eunuch Party was so powerful, and Marquis Liang An was ordered by the late emperor to assassinate courtiers. Wouldn't it be possible for me to hide in your small courtyard and survive? With Mr. Da around, I don't believe that the Han family would dare to kill me." .”
"With Mr. Da here, isn't Han Lin dead too?" Erlang said angrily.Seeing that I can't be persuaded, I have no choice but to leave.
