Saint Immortal Way

() Shendu Imperial Palace, back garden.

After receiving Wanli Jizhuo from Bailongtan Academy and Moling Mansion, Emperor Wen was drinking tea in the back garden. It was late autumn, and the back garden was full of depression, which had a special charm.

After watching the rush, the teacup in Emperor Wen's hand fell to the ground and shattered.

Emperor Wen trembled all over his body, closed his eyes for a while, then opened them, and then sighed deeply: "There is a rebellious son in my Yang family, and the decree is that the eighteen princes are of bad character. With the title of Eighteenth Prince, Imperial Concubine Yi has no way to teach her son, so she moved to Xunyang Palace, and the teacher of the Eighteenth Prince, Si Kongxuan, is responsible for teaching, and the official is demoted to one level, with a fine of one year's salary."

The internal officials on the side hurriedly recorded and announced the decree.

Empress Xiao, who was drinking tea with Emperor Wen, frowned and said, "The Holy Majesty is so aggressive, but what disaster has His Highness Ruiyang caused?"

"The empress can see for herself!" Emperor Wen handed over the urgent play, after empress Xiao read it, she remained silent for a long time.It turned out that the two memorials were all about the same thing.His Royal Highness Ruiyang left Beijing privately, and died in a barren mountain village in Moling Mansion. In other rooms, there were also missing women in Moling Mansion. Most of them were raped, and bandits also died tragically. No clue.

What is Yang Rui's personality, how can the members of the royal family not know?It's just that what he did before was just a small evil, and there were noble concubines and ministers in the court to cover him. In the end, he was often reprimanded or fined, or grounded. Never thought that this guy would eventually cause a catastrophe and lose his life , and also damage the majesty of the Tian Family.

The queen was silent for a while, then hesitated, "Will the governor of Moling Prefecture and Bailongtan Academy..."

"Absolutely not. Xu Tian'an and Cao Daoyuan are extremely trustworthy. They weigh the importance. On this matter, they will definitely not lie a word!"

On the memorial, although there are not many inferences, the context of the matter is always clear. Emperor Wen knew Yang Rui very well, so he knew that his son could do such evil things.

Just leaving Beijing privately is unforgivable, but now that the person is dead, it is a lie that Emperor Wen is not heartbroken.

"His Royal Highness Ruiyang is so disappointing. He was reprimanded by the emperor for molesting a woman a while ago. He never thought that he would not give up. He chased after Moling Mansion in the barren state and did things that would damage the majesty of the Tian family. This matter must not be spread. Come on, it will always damage the reputation of my heavenly family."

"The empress is right. It's all my fault. I can't even discipline a few children!" Emperor Wen sighed, as if he was a few years older.Empress Xiao was startled, she quickly stood up and prostrated herself on the ground, pleading guilty: "How can you blame the sage, if you want to blame, you can blame me, because I didn't teach them well!"

"Queen, when you get up, how can you blame the queen!" Emperor Wen sighed so much that he turned to snort, "This can only be blamed on Rui'er herself. Hmph, you can still live if the sky does evil, but you can't live if you do it yourself!"

"My lord, please mourn!" Empress Xiao comforted.

"I'm so angry that I won't fight!" Emperor Wen lost his temper again, and smashed another teacup in his hand, which shows how sad and angry he was. Youdao Mingjun has always been a gentle and refined gentleman who seldom gets angry, but whenever he gets angry, there is always a big event happened.

Emperor Wen felt chest tightness and asked Empress Xiao to retreat, but his emotions still could not be resolved, so he wandered in the garden, and after a while, the internal officials called Concubine Yi to see him.

As soon as Concubine Yi saw Emperor Wen, she immediately cried out to Sapo. It turned out that the imperial decree was passed down, and she also knew that her son had died unexpectedly. The palace has not been repaired for ten years, and the son died overnight and fell out of favor, such a blow, why not cry and complain about Sapo?

Emperor Wen was furious, and ordered Concubine Yi to be dragged away, and she was not allowed to see her again. Afterwards, an internal official secretly went to Moling Mansion to verify the whole story.

However, since more than a dozen girls disappeared in Moling Mansion overnight, there was a sudden panic, and the whole Moling Mansion was boiling. By the dawn of the third day, it was said that all the missing girls had been found, some had returned home, and some had already returned home. The funeral was held in secret. In short, this matter was very strange, and the government and the family of the person involved tried their best to cover it up.

However, there are always impenetrable walls in the world, and it is impossible to cover up such a major event, so the rumors spread in the dark, and the words are so precise that it is very shocking.

As the saying goes, all mouths make gold, and accumulation destroys bones.

This is the case with rumors. If there are more people spreading them, the rumors will become true. Any rumors that stop at the wise are pure nonsense.

The teahouses and taverns on the street are nothing more than that. Among the various clans, the dark rumors are especially terrifying.

"Have you heard? The little lady of the Feng family was ruined by those thieves after she was taken into captivity. Now she has been conceived in the dark. It's really a crime. After all, why don't you just die? The Feng family created it. What evil, it's still a scholarly family, I think it's a dirty heirloom..."

"The girl from the Jin family in Jingu Hutong committed suicide by hanging herself last night. Can she prove her innocence by committing suicide?"

"Yes, yes, I heard that after people were taken away, everyone was ruined by the thieves that night. That's miserable..."

"No, I heard that the girl from the Sun family was so ugly that the thieves were disgusted when they saw her, so they managed to keep Qingbai, tsk tsk... This girl is now known as an ugly girl, and there will still be that matchmaker willing Door-to-door? It's better to be ruined that day!"

"I heard from the Confucian teachers in the academy that the talented women of the Huang family have not been ruined?"

"Hehe, self-deception, do you believe this too? Yellow talented women are as beautiful as gods. If I were a thief, wouldn't I be able to bear it? So many young ladies from good families have been ruined, can we still miss the most beautiful one?"

"It's a pity, Huang Cai has won the ranking in the Six Arts Hall, and her name has been spread across Kyushu. Now that something like this has happened, God is really annoying!"

……

Nai Niang Wu walked around the streets and alleys on weekdays, and after a long time, she heard a lot of rumors that the lady of which family was incognito, or hanged herself, or married to the countryside.Which family's little lady was kicked out of the house, living in a barren mountain night temple, with ancient scrolls of blue lanterns.

"It's a crime, Miss Daoyun can't tell even if she has a hundred mouths, what should I do?" Mrs. Wu rushed to another courtyard with a vegetable basket, the more she thought about it, the more she felt aggrieved.She has already observed that Miss Daoyun of her own family is still innocent, so why did she become an evil slander in the mouths of those ignorant people?

Wu pushed open the chai gate, walked into the courtyard, and found a luxurious two-horse carriage parked in the courtyard, several middle-aged people stood beside the carriage, Huang Yiyi stood aside helplessly, looking at the open gate.

Wu's heart skipped a beat, she hurried up, pulled Huang Yiyi aside, and said in a low voice, "Little lady Yiyi, what's going on, what kind of guest is here?"

"My uncle came in person!" Huang Yiyi said helplessly.

"What, the patriarch of the Huang family has come in person, isn't he from Yujing City, the capital of the gods?" Mrs. Wu was taken aback. Huang Yiyi's uncle is Huang Zongyao, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, a senior official of the third rank, and the patriarch of the Huang family. .

She had already vaguely known that Huang Zongxi and Huang Zongyao were at odds with each other, but she didn't expect that the patriarch would come at this juncture. Now that Huang Zongxi's Confucian master is not here, and Miss Daoyun is a person who puts the family first and sticks to the horns, she is afraid accident.

"Miss, don't go in, uncle is discussing something with sister!" Huang Yiyi grabbed Wu Shi and shook his head. The nanny Wu sighed, and knew that she was a servant, so she couldn't speak.

In the hall, Huang Daoyun sat at the bottom with a pale face.Huang Zongyao took a sip of tea and said, "Daoyun, our Huang family is already in dire straits, this matter has already spread the anger to Concubine Yi, several ministers in the court, and even the Holy Majesty will not treat me because of this matter." If this servant of the Ministry of Rites loses his family from now on, what do you want my Huang family to do?"

"It's Daoyun's fault!" Huang Daoyun turned paler.

"Since you know your fault, you should make amends. How about my proposal? You don't need to come forward, uncle will take care of everything, and the news of his death will spread. After half a year of order, all the rumors will disappear. This matter Even if the matter is over, my Huang family will not have much influence. As for your whereabouts, I have already arranged it. How about Han Zhengzhi in Tonglu County? Although his family is poor, he has become a scholar this year. Daoye and you It's not the same, now people are studying in the capital of God, and they have a very good reputation, and they are your perfect match!"

"Daoyun is already with the Lu family..." Huang Daoyun whispered.

"Foolish!" Huang Zongyao jumped up against the case and taught a lesson: "I didn't say you, you are an ominous body now, can you still be worthy of the Lu family? Then what is the status of Mr. Lu now, one of the five generations of hereditary viscounts, Hanlin The court attendant said, what's more important is that he is an apprentice of a sage, he is already in the emperor's heart, and his future is boundless, how can you bear to harm his future?"

After hearing this, Huang Daoyun trembled all over, and couldn't help crying.Huang Zongyao's words hit her deadly spot and caused her to be tortured. She naturally knew how great Lu Yang's future was. Because of this, she couldn't harm her junior brother or the entire Huang family.

Now, his father Huang Zongxi is not here, of course, even if he is, Huang Daoyun does not know what kind of face he sees Huang Zongxi.Huang Daoyun only felt that the world was gloomy, and there was no more interest in life.

Huang Daoyun suddenly had the consciousness of breaking the jar, she gritted her teeth, and said, "Just do what uncle said!"

"Okay, okay..." Huang Zongyao was overjoyed, and said: "For my Huang family, for your father, and for your junior brother, you just listen to my arrangement and hide your name from now on, live your life well, don't think about anything, live a good life In three to five years, everyone will forget about you!"

"..." Huang Daoyun nodded with his face ashen.

Huang Zongyao stood up, walked out the door, waved his sleeves, got into the carriage, and drove away.Huang Yiyi and Wu Shi hurried into the hall, seeing the pale-faced Huang Daoyun, they felt extremely distressed.

"Miss Daoyun, didn't your uncle say anything to you?" Mrs. Wu said cautiously.

"It's nothing serious!" Huang Daoyun forced a smile, trying to pull himself together.

Huang Yiyi hurriedly shouted: "I don't believe it. Uncle is a bad person. Does uncle have any bad ideas? In short, don't listen to him. What's the matter when father comes back? The academy has already sent someone to look for him. In a few days, father will meet!"

Huang Daoyun's body trembled slightly, and he wanted to die immediately. He thought that he had humiliated the Huang family, and that the face of the Huang family had ruined him. How could he, a sinner, see his father Huang Zongxi?Isn't this just adding to the pain?
