Zhi Xuan

The guards patrolling the city came too fast, the Mi brothers and the son Kang were caught off guard.

At that time, a large number of Chinese people gathered outside Gongzi Kang's mansion, among them there were many people from various clans who were inquiring about the news, and when they sensed the situation changed, they immediately sent the news back.

The Patriarchs of the various families reacted differently. Some continued to wait and see, some thought deeply about the plot behind the scenes, and some planned to add fuel to the flames and make things worse.

Not to mention the first two, the third party includes many forces, either they are dissatisfied with Mi Shi and Gongzi Kang, or they want to further damage the reputation of Gongzi Xuan, or they don't like both parties wanting to kill two birds with one stone.

The root of it is that the monarch has only one legitimate son, but the common son is not the son Kang.Since the Mi family took the lead in breaking the rules and wanted to push son Kang to the top, other families can naturally follow suit.

Who says latecomers can't catch up?

A seemingly simple matter, as more and more forces intervene, it quickly becomes complicated.

There is something wrong with Mi Wu's decision, and the Mi family may fall into a predicament, and he becomes more and more angry with Young Master Xuan.

Surprisingly, Su Hu stayed put and did not do anything except send someone to inquire about the news.

This confuses many people.A great opportunity, but he did nothing?Or is there a deeper plan behind this?

Before the patriarchs could figure it out, the monarch suddenly issued a decree to forcibly suppress the turmoil.

"They all go back to their homes. Young Master Xuan will be fined thirty and the door will be closed for twenty days. Young Master Kang will be fined fifty and the door will be closed for twenty days."

The decree did not mention the Mi family, nor did it mention the cause and effect of the incident, let alone who was right and who was wrong, and directly punished the two sons, which was regarded as a [-]-big punishment each.

It seems fair on the surface, but it makes Gongzi Kang extremely unfair.

It was Young Master Xuan who made tricks, it was Young Master Xuan who refused to let go, and it was Young Master Xuan who ordered his servants to make trouble in front of his house. He didn't do anything, so why should he be punished along with him?

How unfair!

This made Young Master Kang, who had always thought highly of himself, resentful and dissatisfied. He wanted to explode on the spot, but was pulled back by Mi Wu forcefully.The grumpy Miji also blocked her.

It is true that the Mi brothers are arrogant and domineering, and they are not fools after all.

Things that Mrs. Mi can understand, the two of them can understand a little bit after thinking about it carefully.

No matter what the reason is, the monarch expressed his attitude. As a son, son Kang must not contradict him, otherwise he will surely plant disaster.

Young Master Kang was full of depression and anger and couldn't vent his anger, so his complexion was naturally not good-looking.The person who delivered the decree did not show it on his face, but secretly wrote down every detail, and only reported it to the monarch when he returned.

The monarch personally punished the two sons, and the soldiers patrolling the city should withdraw.

The servants of each family dispersed with the crowd and soon disappeared.

In less than a moment, there were only servants, maidservants and domestic servants who caused chaos left in front of Young Master Kang's mansion.

"Young Master, these people should be returned to Second Young Master." Mi Wu said.

Young Master Kang was holding his breath, and when he heard this, his face flushed instantly.If he hadn't remembered that it was his uncle in front of him, and he had to rely on him if he wanted to become the son, he would have drawn his sword on the spot.

As the eldest son of the monarch, his mother's family is extremely powerful. Even if he is not a heir, he has been favored since he was a child. He once ignored Zhi Xuan. How has he ever been so angry?

"My lord, listen to me." Mi Wu continued to persuade, "What happened today is unusual, don't make the king unhappy."

One word was like pouring cold water on Gong Zikang's head, and he gradually calmed down.

At this moment, several mule carts came slowly and stopped beside the stone pier not far from the gate of the mansion.The drivers jumped down one after another, bowed to the ground and saluted, saying that they were ordered by Prince Xuan to bring back the servants and maidservants.

"Take it back?" Young Master Kang's anger that had been suppressed just now was stirred up again in an instant.

Mi Wu hastily pulled him back, and at the same time winked at Mi Ji, not allowing him to act rashly.

The driver saluted again and watched as the Mi brothers dragged Young Master Kang back to the mansion, closed the gate, stood up and helped the injured servant onto the mule cart, and the rest of the servants also had their places.

As for the 20 people who were whipped and frozen, they could only follow the car.

It was freezing cold, their bodies were wounded, and they knelt in the snow for a long time, their minds were a little blurred.Even so, they didn't dare to stay, even if they were climbing, they had to keep up with the team.

Returning to Young Master Xuanfu, the end may not be good.If they stay here, instead of being merciful, Young Master Kang will take out his anger on them. There is only one dead end!

The team marched along the long street, and the ruts and footprints overlapped, and were soon covered by falling snow.

Young Master Kang was dragged back to the mansion, and he suppressed his temper to listen to Mi Wu's instruction.After sending the two uncles away, he finally erupted, swept away the letter on the case with his sleeves, drew out his sword and rushed to hack in the yard, frightening the maids and servants not to approach, and even the timid ones hid in the corridor trembling.

"Zhi Xuan, Zhi Xuan!"

Young Master Kang roared angrily, and cut down the sword one after another, cutting off all three trees in the courtyard that were as thick as bowls.

"Today's humiliation will be reported tomorrow!"

At that time, Zhi Xuan, who was listening to the report of the government order, suddenly sneezed, signaling the government order not to worry, took the bitter soup and drank it down, his brows furrowed unconsciously.

It is too bitter.

The waiter brought the sweet soup, Zhi Xuan took a sip, the sweetness diluted the bitterness, but there was an astringency in his mouth, not much better than before.

"Need not."

After barely drinking two sips, Zhi Xuan stopped drinking the sweet soup and ordered the waiter to bring a glass of warm water, finally suppressing the astringency in his mouth.

"Young Master, I'm afraid Young Master Kang will not let it go." The government order said.

"So what?" Zhi Xuan coughed twice, drank all the warm water, and signaled the waiter not to enter again.

What happened today is not only to reassure the monarch, but also to test all parties.Although the development of things is slightly different from expectations, it is not too much deviation.

He has already died once, and it is rare for God to give him another chance. No matter what, he must live well.If you don't want to live a long life, at least you have to die.

It is not a big problem for him whether Mr. Kang holds grudges or not.

He doesn't want to die, and son Kang will not give up his pursuit of power and position. The two are destined to be eternal political enemies.It's a life-and-death relationship, so what does it matter if you hate more or less?

What is this grievance today?

Seriously, the days of making the other party feel wronged are still to come.

Compared with his son Kang, he cared more about the attitude of the clan heads.

So far, he's satisfied.

If the monarch doesn't want to abandon his only son for the time being, the Chinese general will not change his position.Mi Clan couldn't find the right time to strike, and most of the clan patriarchs stayed on the sidelines, and his life should be safe within a few years.

Of course, the premise is that he is not stupid.

As a successful businessman, he has experienced intrigues within the family. Even if he changed the location and replaced a group of opponents, Zhixuan thought he could handle it, but at most it would be a bit laborious.

Don't ask for great merit, put on a few masks, and saving your life is not a problem.

Zhi Xuan was a little distracted, the government official thought that he was sick and weak, and guilt shouldn't make him so troubled.

"Young master is just recovering, you should rest and recuperate more, servant deserves to die!"

Seeing the government order's remorse, Zhi Xuan waved his hand to let him not have to.

"Your Majesty ordered me to close the door, just to recuperate from illness. You personally send the fine, and when you come back, you will close the house. No matter who comes, you will not see anyone. As for the people you brought back, close the door separately, tell them, and tell what you know. I might spare their lives."

Zhi Xuan didn't say what they knew, it depends on what these people know and what they can give in exchange for their own lives.

Inside the Monarch's Mansion, Marquis Xiyuan sat behind the desk, listening to the servants' report, while wiping the long sword in his hand.

The sword is three feet and three inches long, and it is sharp when it is unsheathed.The hilt of the sword is a crouching tiger, which is ferocious and frightening.It can be called a magic weapon.

This sword was given to the first Marquis of Xiyuan by the king of Ren, and passed to him through three generations, and it was regarded as a symbol of the monarch.

The same sword bestowed by the king has only four handles in the world, except for the one in his hand, which belong to the Marquis of Bei'an, Marquis of Dongliang and Marquis of Nanyou, symbolizing the four princes, who guard the four directions on behalf of Wang Mu, a native of Zhongdu.

Marquis Xiyuan wiped the blade again and again.

After years, the long sword is still sharp, and when the blade is held horizontally, you can clearly see the eyes reflected on the cold iron, dark and cold.

After the waiter finished his report, he prostrated himself on the ground and dared not make a sound.

There is a charcoal fire in the hall for heating, but there is no trace of smoke.

The floor painted with green varnish was slightly warm, but the waiter couldn't feel it at all. He only felt the chill, piercing to the marrow, and his teeth were chattering.

"Get up." Marquis Nishihara finally spoke out.

The waiter, as if he had been pardoned, did not dare to stand up, and walked out of the hall door on his knees.

After a while, the monarch called Mrs. Yang.Because the childe was young and had not yet lived alone in Befu, he was naturally called to the king.

Mrs. Yang is not as beautiful as Mrs. Mi, but she has a gentle and docile temperament, which can very well cater to the king's heart.But after a while, laughter came from the hall.The servants guarding outside the hall exchanged glances, they all understood that Mrs. Yang should be favored for a while.

As for Mrs. Mi, as long as the Mi clan survives and son Kang is still there, she will always have a place by the monarch's side.As for whether life is good or not, the benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise sees wisdom.

The news that the monarch dotes on Mrs. Yang and Young Master Ming did not cause much disturbance in the Western Capital City.

Young Master Kang and Young Master Xuan closed their doors, the Mi family had no flags and drums, and the Yang family was always a bit short of fire.In addition, with the Chinese army general Su Hu in charge, the city is very stable, even if someone wants to stir up trouble, it is still a weapon to be avoided.

During this period of time, Zhi Xuan concentrated on taking care of his body, earnestly carried out the will of the monarch, closed the gate of the mansion, and never saw anyone coming.

Dr. Sang's medicine was very effective. After five days of taking the medicine, his cough subsided, his physical strength gradually recovered, and he began to get out of bed and walk.After his spirit improved, Zhi Xuan no longer stayed in bed for a long time, and ordered the government order to bring the bamboo slips from the library, and read them at his desk every day.

Regarding Zhixuan's change, although the government order had doubts, he remained silent all the time out of loyalty.

This made Zhi Xuan very satisfied.

As time passed day by day, Zhi Xuan had read more than half of the books in the mansion, and his handwriting was no different from the original one.His words and deeds have changed slightly, but his pride remains the same. He is occasionally reckless and impulsive, but he is no longer irritable and irritable.

It is only natural for a person to have a change in temperament when encountering life and death disasters.It's just that some people have changed for the better, while others have turned bad, and even got into a dead end.

Zhi Xuan's change is not very good, but it is by no means a bad thing.This kind of temperament can not only reassure the monarch, but also not disappoint Su Hu who supports him. It really took him a lot of brains to decide how to measure.

When the time for closing the mansion was over, Zhi Xuan immediately sent the prepared "Repentance Letter" to the Monarch's Mansion.The words are sincere, and the grievances are expressed at the end, and the heart of fists is not concealed, which pleases the monarch very much.

On the day the letter was delivered, a reward was sent, and the will of the monarch was conveyed. At the end of the season, he and the Marquis of Bei'an would hunt in the suburbs, and son Xuan would go with him.
