Seiwa

Chapter 186

Meng Qinghe's hunch was correct.

The death of Shoucheng Xiaoqi spread in the court at an incredible speed, and spread from the court to the people.All kinds of rumors gathered, mixed with true and false, with the help of people with good intentions, the Xingningbo Mansion and the owner of the Bo Mansion were pushed to the cusp step by step.

A certain uncle bullied the weak by the strong and forced the soldiers.

A certain uncle is so proud of himself that he doesn't even pay attention to Duke Wei's mansion.

A certain Jingnan hero became famous at a young age, but he did not follow the right path, and colluded with the eunuch Jin Yiwei to persecute Qingliu.

What's more, it is said that a certain uncle deceived his teacher and killed his ancestors. As a disciple of Buddhist monks, he scorned that the Buddhist scriptures are useless and he committed a heinous crime.

Qilie, the leader of Wuliangha, who lived in the Huitong Hall and was waiting for the emperor to summon him, also heard similar rumors.

According to the rumors, Meng Qinghe became the representative of disloyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, seemingly honest but treacherous.

To sum it up in one sentence: "The treacherous and sycophant, everyone gets it and punishes him."

"Bastard! How dare you slander uncle like this?!"

It was Liepan of Honglu Temple who spread the rumors, Qi Liegai was immediately angry.

Ever since Meng Qinghe guarded Daning, Duoyan Sanwei's living standards have skyrocketed, making great strides forward.

With the forage provided by the frontier residents and the medical households in the frontier army, the long winter is no longer difficult, and the number of cattle and sheep doubles without worrying about dying of starvation or disease.

The salt and tea exchanged from the Daning mutual market were traded with various ministries of Tatar Oala, and the profits were doubled, enough for the family to live a prosperous life, and the whole tribe benefited from it.

Today's Wuliangha, especially the tribes that have established friendly relations with Xingningbo, have become the envy of the grassland tribes.The brawny men firmly believed that with Xingningbo's presence, their good days would continue forever.Uncle Xingning fell down, and the life of lying in the tent and counting money will be gone forever, and he will never be found again.

Not afraid of not knowing the goods, but afraid of comparing goods.

Zhu Quan became a fan of Daning, and Wuliangha's life was better than that of Tatar Wala.Compared with today, there is still one earth and one heaven.

People make money and birds die for food. Meng Qinghe can bring great benefits to Wu Liangha. The strong men naturally stand firmly on Meng Qinghe's side.

"Whoever dares to fight against Uncle will be against Wu Liangha!"

A few months ago, Zhu Wang, commander of the Daning capital, was replaced by Yang Xing, who was airborne from the capital.The newly established chief envoy, Si Yamen, is honest on the surface, but secretly acts frequently. He is very dissatisfied with the series of rules of the Daning Mutual Market, especially the Taxation Department in charge of the Mutual Market's taxation, and has the intention of sending someone to replace it.

When the news came out, Ding Qianhu who stayed in Daning hadn't responded yet, and the capital of Daning was also suppressed by Yang Xing, and Duoyan Sanwei exploded in an instant.

In their unique way, the strong Mongolian men taught a lesson to the Daning chief envoy who wanted to poach a corner before he could gain a firm foothold.

Uncle Xingning's absence doesn't mean he can do whatever he wants!When encountering a ground snake whose waist is thicker than a bucket, the dragon crossing the river still has to curl up!

Bright paw try?Cut them all off!

The leaders of the three guards got together to discuss and voted with a show of hands. They cannot use force, which is rebellion.Just to give the other party an excuse to further intervene in Daning affairs.We don't use martial arts, we go to Beijing to pay tribute!

The leaders of each tribe lined up their order, went to Beijing in turn to pay tribute to the horses, and when they saw the emperor, they slapped and rolled, grabbed the land with their heads, and sued to death!

From Hongwu, Jianwen to Yongle, the strong men of Duoyan Sanwei have always been the gold medal fighters of the Ming Dynasty, and played a huge role in the frontier.During the Jingnan period, he threw his head and blood for Zhu Di many times, and charged into battle with bows and arrows and firecrackers.

The imperial court guarded against the unruly three guards, and also gave them various preferential treatment.

Historically, the whole of Daning used to be Sanwei's pasture. Meng Qinghe was born, and the pasture was gone, but Sanwei's wealth doubled.

"If you can't win two or three lawsuits, the whole Wuliangha is dissatisfied. The court must not take it lightly!"

Qi Lie should be the third batch to enter Beijing. The previous two batches of tribute teams have laid a good foundation. Zhongguan and Jin Yiwei have already come to Daning to investigate the situation.Both the Beijing patrolling censor and the supervisory censor suffered failures, and the Beijing Six Departments were not spared either.

Daning chief envoy dared to take action against the tax collector, and he touched the emperor's pocketbook!How could such a big matter be left alone?

After Zhongguan and Jinyiwei returned to Beijing, the emperor's edict was issued immediately, and everyone below the six heavenly officials was scolded.The heavenly officials were very aggrieved, a mouthful of old blood poured into their throats, the command envoy of Daning was replaced, and the chief envoy was established, it was all the benefit of Nanjing Six Departments, but when something went wrong, he was held accountable, what is this called? !

Headed by the oldest Minister of the Household Department, the Beijing Ministry of Finance went to Shu Tianzi one after another. The main content can be summed up in one sentence: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged! The grandsons of the Nanjing Six Departments should be drawn the most, not the ministers! "

Under the joint suppression of Wu Liangha and the Beijing branch, the chief political envoy of Daning was pressed down before he really trembled.The commander of the capital of Daning, Yang Xing, was completely evacuated by the top and bottom of the capital.

Both ordered Tong Zhi and Qian Shi to hide their knives with a smile, and they were merciless, leaving nothing to Yang Xing except for the function of holding the official seal.

Zhu Wang was lifted up by Zhang Gui, and Uncle Meng descended from the sky on a cloud.

Yang Xing was on the wrong team, miscalculated the situation, and had to taste the bitter fruit himself.After being beaten to the ground, no other Uncle Xingning could lift him up.

After returning to Beijing, Meng Qinghe learned about all the things that happened in Daning City.

The emperor ordered him to live in Beijing, and he was still in charge of the affairs of peace, probably because he was extremely dissatisfied with the newly established chief envoy.It is conceivable that after the next palace examination, the six northern and southern ministries will have plenty of talents, and the Daning chief envoy will undergo a complete change.In this regard, apart from Meng Qinghe, the Beijing branch is also happy to see the success.It would be even better if people could be transferred from Shuntian Mansion.

However, for the current Meng Qinghe, the matter of Daning can be temporarily put aside, and how to escape from the rumors is the most important thing.

Meng Qinghe was both happy and worried when he heard that Qi Lie should beat up Lie Ban of Honglu Temple who was spreading gossip in the Huitong Hall.

Fortunately, someone helped him out.

What is worrying is that the rumors are intensifying, and it is even more difficult to figure out who is behind the scenes.

Civil servants, military generals, nobles, clans, vassal kings, and even... foreign relatives.

The emperor ordered the Marquis of Pengcheng to guard Xingzhou, and ordered King Ping to become a vassal, but left Prince Ping's son in the capital because of Zhu Zhanji's studies.There was a precedent for this during the reign of Emperor Gao, and Zhu Gaochi also stayed in Beijing alone to study with his grandson.

Zhu Zhanhe, the eldest son of the King of Han, was also in the capital.It doesn't make sense to use Zhu Zhanji's young age as an excuse to shirk.

What's more noteworthy is that following the Kunning Palace, imperial physicians became frequent visitors to Prince Ping's Mansion.

"Princess Ping is ill."

Five simple words, but it makes people feel a chill behind their backs.

Empress Xu is critically ill, King Ping is in vassal state, Prince Ping's son stays in Beijing, Princess Ping is seriously ill...

If the queen really dies, and Xiaoqi, who is related to Duke Wei's mansion, is "forced to death" by himself, what will happen when the emperor is furious?

Meng Qinghe didn't dare to imagine.

All he knew was that when the Queen died, King Ping would stay in the capital for mourning.In the early years, Zhu Gaochi went to Beijing to pay homage to Emperor Gao, and he was famous for benevolence and filial piety.The Queen's funeral is a big one, and those who are interested can take this opportunity to bring up the matter again, and use the words of the ministers and the people to build momentum.

Zhu Gaoxu's Xuanfu garrisoned the fields, and Zhu Gaosui opened a mutual market in Liaodong. There were always criticisms from courtiers, who believed that this was not the way of a king.Especially Zhu Gaosui, who operates the mutual market, as a counterexample.

"Extracting people's taxes by force does not influence the barbarians with the virtues of the country, but drives them away with interests, which is against the way of the sage's enlightenment."

Words of impeachment like this are not unusual at all.

Zhu Gaoxu was scorned by the courtiers when he was farming in the Xuanfu, "it was not the prince's work, it is no different from ordinary people."

At this time, with the comparison of Zhu Gaochi's benevolence and filial piety, even if the emperor did not make Zhu Gaochi the crown prince, it would be impossible for King Han and King Zhao to take this position.

Thinking of this, Meng Qing and Shengsheng made a smart move.

He didn't know who was behind the layout, but he could be sure that Wei Guogong's mansion, the two princes, including himself, were all part of the plan.

"Maybe I'm thinking too much."

Meng Qinghe stood up and walked to the window. The scent of sweet-scented osmanthus wafted faintly in the air. He closed his eyes, but his heart was still in a mess.

Empress Xu was safe and sound, Princess Ping was seriously ill, and King Ping became a vassal, and Wei Guogong's mansion has not responded.Is he really thinking too much, or is it far more complicated than he imagined?

Rumors spread all over the capital, but still no censor impeached Shangshu. If he said that no one was behind the scenes, even if he was killed, he would not believe it.

"It's time for someone to stand up." Meng Qinghe opened his eyes and held his chin, "Should I ask the master for advice?"

I haven't asked Dao Yan for advice, but I just want to see if I can take advantage of the chaos to find out who is behind it.

The current situation makes it impossible for him to do so.

When the disciples are busy, the master can't just watch the excitement from the sidelines.Don't say to help, just say a few words, right?

Anyway, he is young and inexperienced.Ask Dao Yan to help you feel confident.Moreover, Meng Qinghe had a seemingly absurd guess in his mind.

On the surface, it seems that he is the center of the rumors. At most, Shen Xuan and King Zhao of Han are involved in the conspiracy.

In fact, it was Emperor Yong Le who conferred the title of title on him, and it was also Emperor Yong Le who reused him.Wouldn't it be a foolish emperor to classify him and even Shen Xuan and others into traitors and reuse traitors?

Shaking his head, this guess is too far-fetched.

But often the more impossible the answer is, it will point directly to the center of the problem.

"If that's the case, it really won't work if you don't ask the master for advice."

After making up his mind, Meng Qinghe immediately took several personal guards and rushed out of the mansion to Dao Yan's residence.

At the same time as he left the uncle's mansion, several unremarkable spies signaled to each other, one wave followed, and the other wave walked in the opposite direction.

The spies thought they were acting secretly, but they didn't know that the mantises, cicadas, and orioles were behind them, and there were guards in royal clothes who were already behind them.

In Fusi of Jinyiwei North Town, Yang Duo personally interrogated the chief history of Prince Ping's mansion, together with the confessions of the eunuchs and palace staff of Prince Ping's mansion, sorted them out and sent them to the palace.

Walking out of the torture room, a school lieutenant immediately stepped forward and said: "Commander, Ji Qian sent someone to send back the note, and the idea has moved."

"En." Yang Duo wiped off the blood on his hands, and casually threw the cloth towel aside, "Keep watching, after following these days, there should be some news."

"Yes." The captain took the order, turned and left.

Li Shi, a thousand households of Jin Yiwei, was appreciated by Yang Duo, and couldn't help but said: "The rumors in the middle of the capital are like this, and now it's time to move, Uncle Xingning really can hold his breath."

After the words fell, the back of the neck suddenly felt cold.

"Li Qianhu," Yang Duo chuckled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, "Misfortune comes out of your mouth."

Li Shi was sweating profusely in an instant, and hurriedly said: "Commander, don't dare to be humble again!"

Yang Duo didn't say anything more, his black boots stepped on the blood-stained cloth towel, and the hem of his bright red brocade clothes flicked lightly, his footsteps were silent.

Then he pointed out that two officers and several school lieutenants entered the palace with him, all of which were necessary for normal use, except Li Qianhu.

Li Qianhu stood where he was, until Yang Duo's back disappeared around the corner, he still didn't dare to move.

There are rumors in Beizhen Fusi that Commander Yang treats Uncle Xingning differently, and Ji Qianshi also has a close friendship with Uncle Xingning, all because Uncle Xing has the kindness to know Ji Gang.

The latter is uncertain, but the former seems to be true.

Li Shi's complexion became more and more ugly, and he suddenly slapped himself hard, and he couldn't find Bei after a few words of praise from Commander Yang, it should be the disaster of today!

If Commander Yang finds out, in order to investigate the case, he also got his foot in the back of the rumor... If it is remedied immediately, is there still time?

Meng Qinghe didn't know what happened in Fusili, Jinyiwei North Town. After leaving the mansion, he immediately listened to the report from the guards, and followed behind him.

The anger that Uncle Meng had accumulated for several days suddenly burned.

"Are there many people?"

"Less than ten people."

"Okay, very good." The tiger doesn't get angry, think of him as Hello Kitty, right?

"Uncle?"

"Clawed." Even Hello Kitty has claws!

"Caught...?"

The guard thought he had heard wrong.

In such a situation, shouldn't it be lured to a secluded place before making a move, or deliberately leak some information, and then follow up after the tail leaves?

"Before you catch him, beat him up, as long as he doesn't die." Meng Qinghe gritted his teeth, with a grim expression on his face, "I've had enough!"

The personal guard hesitated for a moment, but still persuaded him: "Uncle, there are too many people in the city, and there is too much movement. Should we go out of the city and do it again?"

Now in the "downtown area", surrounded by crowds of people, it has confirmed the notoriety in the rumors.

"It's right here, I will take care of the accident!"

Meng Qinghe was categorical, and the guards could no longer persuade them, so they could only accept orders.

The big men of more than ten lives turned around at the same time, stared at the target, and rushed forward with fists waving like a hungry tiger rushing at a sheep.

The guard's attack came without warning, not only the unidentified spies, but even the Jin Yiwei who was following him were caught in a catastrophe and were not spared.

In an instant, fists and big feet flew together, nosebleeds sprayed, and black eye sockets and pig heads were freshly baked.

"I hit someone!"

The crowd roared and ran away one after another.Seeing that he was not the one being beaten, he stopped and watched the excitement.

The spies knew that they had been exposed, so they didn't dare to speak out, so they could only hug their heads and be beaten.

But Jin Yiwei suffered an indiscriminate disaster, and just called out, "Brother, don't hit me, my own!"

In the next second, he was immediately kicked by the group.

"Fuck your X's own people!"

The uncle ordered, there is no kind of beating!

Such a big commotion quickly attracted the Wucheng Bing Ma Si and Ying Tianfu Yamen servants.

The soldiers and yamen servants with sticks and iron rulers pushed away the crowd, saw the center of the chaos, and collectively lost their voices.

The one on the horse is Xingningbo?

The person who beat him was the personal guard of the uncle's mansion?

Most of the strangers who were beaten were turned into pig heads, and even acquaintances couldn't recognize them.

Seeing Wucheng Bingmasi and Ying Tianfu finally come, Meng Qinghe raised his chin, "I ordered the beating!"

Guards & Yamen servants: "..."

Do you need to admit so quickly to make trouble and commit murder?

"Everyone should act in accordance with the law. I will go to Yingtian Mansion Yamen with you? Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment are fine, so where is the nearest?"

Guards & Yamen servants: "..."

Something doesn't seem right?

"Don't waste time, let's go right away." Meng Qinghe got off his horse and handed it over, "Do you want to lock it?"

The guards and yamen servants took a step back in unison, their eyes full of suspicion.

There must be a situation!

When Meng Qinghe stepped forward again, and everyone retreated again, they almost hugged their chests and screamed, "Don't come here!"

The yamen servants were puzzled, but Uncle Meng smiled very kindly.

Sweeping over the pig heads that fell on the ground, he snorted coldly.

It is not his style to be passive and not fight back.If you can't figure out what the other party is going to do, just mess everything up!

At this point, some people can still hold back their heads?

As for feuding with Jin Yiwei, it's not a problem to get along with Yang Duo.

"Let's go."

Meng Qinghe made up his mind to go to Yingtian Mansion, and he had to let things go according to the rhythm he set.

Under the ultimate move?He doesn't care!If you can't bear it, you simply don't accept it.

If you dare to slap him in the face, he won't be able to turn back, but he has helpers!

Make up the knife from behind, clean and neat!A palm-length dagger is useless, and a sharp boning knife must be used.

King Han and King Zhao are about to arrive in the capital, as long as this matter is disclosed in the court, it is definitely not me who will be in chaos.

How deep is it?So what about scheming?

If you beat the master to death with random punches, you will be punished as well!

Meng Qinghe made up his mind and insisted on taking him to Yingtian Mansion.

The hall official asked for leave, and the pushing official sighed with a bitter face.

I've seen people trying to escape from prison, but I haven't seen people who kidnap government servants and want to visit Yingtian Mansion, what a big deal!

"I can't make a decision on this matter. It involves the emperor's own army and is in the palace."

The pushing officer made a clever move and pushed the trouble directly.

One back and forth is enough for his old disease to relapse and he cannot be a director.

In the Kunning Palace, Zhu Di was holding Zhu Zhanhe, the heir of the Han Dynasty, teaching him to write stroke by stroke.

Zhu Zhanhe learned happily, but Empress Xu's forehead twitched.

After being married for so many years, Empress Xu knows Emperor Yong Le better than anyone else.

Teaching people to fight and practice martial arts is absolutely no problem.

Teach people to write? 100% misleading children.It was my own children who were wrong.

Emperor Yong Le was in high spirits, there was no way to stop it.Empress Xu could only secretly make up her mind that when Zhu Zhanhe left the pavilion to study, she must find him a better calligraphy master.Most of the supervising students in the Hanlin Academy are good at writing, so they can be considered.

The emperor and empress each had their own thoughts, but Zhu Zhanhe studied very seriously.

Looking at the emperor's grandson who had successfully figured out the essence of wild grass, Hou Xian bowed his head silently, and meditated silently. He was able to learn the emperor's brush and ink, which no one else could ask for.

The grandparents and grandchildren's happy time was quickly interrupted by Zhongguan.

Hearing Ying Tianfu's report, Zhu Di didn't show any anger on his face, but he seemed to have expected it, "Young master Yao is invited to enter the palace. After all these days, it's time to have an explanation."

The Zhu family's protective habits once again gained the upper hand. If things don't get into trouble, it's not easy for him to openly support Meng Qinghe.

Meng Qinghe threw a wild punch, and took the initiative to lift the cover. The mouse hiding in the dark will see the light sooner or later.Don't be too in line with Lao Zhu's style of helping your own children to smoke.

Beijing

In the big tent of the military camp, Wei Guogong Xu Huizu looked sternly, looked at the guard kneeling in front of him, "Zhang Cheng, how many years have you been with me?"

"Returning to the Duke, I have followed the Duke for 21 years."

"21 years." There seemed to be nostalgia in Xu Huizu's voice, "It's been such a long time."

"Your Highness..."

"You know about the capital, right?"

"My lord, I beg my lord to be the master of my humble brother!"

"Make the decision?" Xu Huizu sneered, pulled out the dagger he was carrying, and threw it in front of Zhang Baihu, "It's my father's fault, so kill yourself."

"Master?!" Zhang Cheng's eyes widened in disbelief, "What's wrong with me?"

"What's wrong? The disaster of the Nine Clans!"

Hearing this, Zhang Cheng's eyes turned red suddenly, and he grabbed the dagger, but instead of cutting himself off, he pointed at Xu Huizu.

Before he could make a move, he was subdued by Wei Guogong's personal guards, his chin and two arms were removed, and he was dragged down all the way.

Xu Huizu sat in the tent and didn't say anything for a long time, until a bloody head was delivered by his personal guards, then he said: "Zhang Baihu died of a sudden illness, Zhang An was martyred, his two sons are willing to take the place of their father, and ask Gansu to guard the border."

"Yes!"

Cutting grass and roots, Zhang Cheng's two sons will never have the chance to leave northern Xinjiang.

After Zhang Cheng was dealt with, Xu Hui Zu Shangshu pleaded guilty to the emperor and wrote a letter to Xu Zengshou. He was not in the capital, and Wei Guogong's mansion and Wuyanghou's mansion could not make any more mistakes.

If he dared to plot against the queen and put the entire Xu family in danger, even if the emperor didn't do anything, he would not let it go!

He didn't kill for a long time, did he really think Xu Huizu's knife was blunt?
