Reborn I want to be a giant

Chapter 133 That Fame
Xu Ye slept for eight hours, and was finally satisfied.At this time, the front yard of Cheng's family was also occupied by yamen officials and other county officials.Everyone heard that he returned to Jinling but did not go to the government office, so they all ran to Cheng's house to look for him.

No matter how many hours he slept, someone stayed there. Fortunately, the reception room of Cheng's house was warm and comfortable, where there was food and drink, and there was a guest room to take a rest when he was sleepy and tired.We didn't have to wait very hard.

"Master Luo, when will you come back?" The old man is a servant of Luo Can's family, and he came here to inquire when he learned that Xu Ye had returned from Limu Town.

Xu Ye moved his limbs and slept a little stiffly, "Soon."

Aunt Hua brought Shuisheng to deliver mountain goods to the Cheng brothers and sisters. Seeing that the front yard was full of people, she thought something serious had happened.It happened that Cheng Han came back from outside and explained to the mother and son that there was a case in Limu Town, and Lord Luo took someone to deal with it.As the year approached, these people could not find Master Luo, but Master Xu.

"Mother, are the Hua family in Limu Town related to you?" Shui Sheng was curious.

Aunt Hua quickly put aside the relationship, "It was a family 500 years ago."

Xu Ye didn't want outsiders to disturb the Cheng family's peaceful life, so he told all the petty officials to go back to the government office, and he would arrive shortly thereafter.

Ke Xiang went to Lingnan on his last trip to escort, and came back with a lot of mountain goods, and Aunt Hua shared some with her younger brothers and sisters.The whole Cheng family was very curious, asking this and that.Xu Ye came over and listened for a while, and then quietly slipped a note to the little girl while no one else suggested it.

【Xu Shi】

The little girl pondered for a long time before she understood what this meant, and she couldn't help laughing, someone felt empty and lonely.

At Xushi, Cheng Fu returned to her yard, took a shower and changed clothes, and sent all the people on duty to the next room before lying on the bed and reading a book.

At five o'clock in the morning, the young man came in through the main entrance, and the faint fragrance that came out of his nostrils did not make him feel refreshed, on the contrary, he was very unhappy.Bypassing all kinds of furnishings, opening the thin gauze curtain, and walking to the innermost part.

"Who owes you money?" The little girl wanted to laugh when she saw him like that.

"Sleeping with my wife is still sneaky." Untied the burden one by one and threw it on the pedals.

Cheng Fu turned her head and continued to flip through the book, "Be content, I'm only fourteen in the Chinese New Year, and our little Cheng family is unhappy with early marriage and early childbearing."

Xu Ye took off his outer shirt, "One step back, early marriage and late childbearing."

"I can marry you at any time. But... I can't implicate you or the Xu family." If Cai dies one day, and still occupies a tablet for a wife, whoever Xu Ye marries later, the bride must be given to her Being a concubine is not good for other girls.

After getting into bed, Xu Ye propped up his upper body and looked down at her, "Don't put gold on your face, if the Xu family can be implicated by you, it's better to die sooner."

Cheng Fu pressed the book against his face viciously, "Turn off the lights and go to sleep."

The two embraced and fell asleep, Xu Ye felt the person in his arms move, "Xu Liu, why are you so determined. You must not really like me."

Xu Ye was helpless, "You said that you are only fourteen years old, what can I do if I can't bear it?" In order to keep coming to sleep with his wife in the future, he must bear it.

The person in his arms giggled for a while, "Xu Liu..."

"Ah."

"You are such a nice person."

The drowsy teenager opened his eyes, and without making a sound, he patted her on the back lightly like coaxing a child.

"I'm going to write a new story, it's called..." He yawned, "It's called "The Pretty Boy and the Wicked Girl"..."

"...Xu Haoshuai cried and accused Cheng Batian: You are so ruthless, you can kill such a cute rabbit, you, you actually made them into spicy rabbit heads... I will never eat them even if I die! "

"Cheng Batian had to replace it with roasted whole lamb, and cut off a leg of lamb and handed it to Xu Haoshuai..."

"You don't even let the sheep go. Do you know that sheep eat grass and milk? You cruel woman, even if I die, I won't marry you!"

Xu Ye covered his face, unable to listen anymore.

"Cheng Batian patted the table, Xu Haoshuai took three steps back in fright, thinking that Cheng Batian wanted Bawang to force his bow, but he didn't want Cheng Batian to say: It doesn't matter, the mountain is not just me, I will go to the mountain, I will marry..."

Xu Ye couldn't bear to cover her mouth, and said in a deep voice: "Xu Haoshuai pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger. If Cheng Batian doesn't sleep, he will be cooked with raw rice."

Sure enough, the person in his arms stopped working, and after a while of silence, he let out a well-proportioned snort.

Xu Ye heaved a sigh of relief and finally fell asleep.

The imperial envoy sent by the imperial court this time was named Yan Maoxian, who arrived in Dongqiao County with the emperor's orders and the expectations of the Seventh Prince. He didn't dare to delay, and went to the county government office to question the case directly.Ding Da, who was able to go to the ground, also told the other party his experience these days without reservation.

"Xiaguan learned that Lei, Wang, Hua and others had hurt innocent people, and wanted to arrest them, but they were injured and thrown into a deep well. Master Xu rushed to rescue Xiaguan in time."

Yan Maoxian scolded angrily, "Under your rule, the civil affairs are so chaotic, you are incompetent and ineffective as a parent and official..." Yan Maoxian saw the scene of Dongqiao County all the way, and there are not many counties like this in Jiangnan.

Ding Da immediately knelt down, trembling, "Excuse me, I am ashamed of God's grace."

"Where is Master Xu?" Yan Maoxian frowned.

"Go back to the imperial envoy... The magistrate Luo is in the county government office. Jinling can't be empty. Xu, Master Xu will go back first. He, he didn't know you were here today..." Ding Da looked around and found that Luo Shen was not there.

Hearing Luo Shen's name, Yan Maoxian frowned, but he didn't ask someone to bring Luo Shen over. Instead, he asked the Jinling Guard who followed Xu Ye to check the gunpowder. After they arrived in Limu Town, they learned about the situation and interrogated him overnight. prisoner.

It has been several months since the civil unrest broke out, and the imperial court has made it clear that it must be resolved years ago, and a case of private fighting between clans cannot be turned into widespread civil unrest.Yan Maoxian thought to himself, Luo Shen belongs to the prince, and what he did was like stabbing the prince.

And Xu Ye...

The Xu family is a royalist faction. Whoever becomes the emperor will be loyal to him. He is impartial and only recognizes orthodoxy, which is why he wins the emperor's heart the most.It is hard to say that the prince's people did not deliberately target Xu Ye this time. Who doesn't know that Xu Ze is such a son, and it is really a bad move to directly offend the future right minister without securing the crown prince's position.

No matter how Yan Maoxian thought about it, he felt that God was helping Zhu's family. If he was in the capital at the moment, he would definitely congratulate Concubine Zhu Xian and the Seventh Prince in person.

The prince, who was thousands of miles away from Jinling, received the emperor's warning, how strict and harsh, how ugly and ugly, who could have imagined that this was a letter from his own father to his son.

But Zhao Yantao admitted that he had been away from Beijing for so long to patrol the border, and his good father finally caught him a way to show off his father's majesty, of course he had to be taught humbly.Even if those words made him uncomfortable, he read each word four or five times.

Cheng Fu's letter to Gu Yanya, Gu Yanya forwarded it to him on the day he received it, and he had already sent a fire that day, so now he can accept the ending calmly.Jinling, which was finally won, was handed over to Lao Qi in half a year. It would be a lie to say that he was not irritable, but at the same time it reminded him that the reserve position has never been stable.

"Luo Shen cannot fall into the hands of Yan Maoxian." Criticizing him is a trivial matter, and it is troublesome to provoke his relationship with the neutral faction.

Several staff members looked at each other in blank dismay.

Someone suggested, "How about leaving it to Xu Zhilie?"

"Do you believe that he was sent to the Metropolitan Procuratorate after changing hands?" the prince said coldly.

The Xu family father and son are very ghostly.

Suddenly someone said: "Your Highness, the Metropolitan Procuratorate is a good place."

Zhao Yantao became interested, "How do you say that?"

"Your Highness, regarding the matter of Luo Can, the Seventh Prince's party is most concerned about how you will react. If you are not sure, you are waiting for you to protect Luo Can, or you are eager to give an explanation to the royalists." No matter what you choose, you will lose. .

The words of this staff member enlightened others, and everyone had an idea.

"Your Highness, the royalists are loyal to the emperor, don't you also serve the emperor? Xu Zhilie's sending to the Metropolitan Procuratorate was done impartially, and your sending to the Metropolitan Procuratorate also means the same."

"Don't care what the Zhu family does, we can't go wrong if we do it upright." It is a fact that Luo Shen made a big mistake. Now everyone knows that he is the prince's man. It is useless to keep such a waste, and giving it to Xu Ye is even worse. The result that the Seven Princes want to see most.

The emperor was in the prime of his life, and the prince was eager to please his most important courtier, which was touching the emperor's scales.

Gu Yanya, who had been listening for a long time, also stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, do you still remember what the Ning family did to the Xu family before? I heard that the Fourth Highness offended Xu Jiancheng and his son for the sake of the Ning family. In my opinion, several Sir's method is the most appropriate at the moment. Luo Can is a subject of the emperor, he has failed the emperor's grace, and he has failed you who are only the recommender." The word "only" was specially emphasized.

Zhao Yantao nodded slowly, agreeing with this idea.

In the middle of the night, he tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, his mind was full of the emperor's orders, he wanted to refute every word, and wanted to ask why the other party had to speculate about his own son with malice?Isn't it just the wrong person, is it necessary to denigrate him like a beast?

The more he thought about it, the more annoying he became, and finally he simply didn't sleep, got up and walked to the desk, read the emperor's orders word by word, then sat down and wrote a letter.

Jinling
Yan Maoxian, Luo Can, Ding Da and others are still in Dongqiao County. I heard that half of the major forces in Limu Town have been arrested, especially the gunpowder owner Lei's family is doomed.Xu Ye didn't receive Yan Maoxian's order to go to Dongqiao County, so he stayed in Jinling, which was exactly what he wanted.

Yan Hui received the urgent letter from the prince, and returned to Jinling on the same day, and went directly to Lianghexuan to find Cheng Fu.At this time, the tavern has been refurbished and reopened, and "White Crane Daoist" has also continued.

"You're bothering." My property was messed up by my family, and I was angry when I thought about it.

"Just solve the problem." Cheng Fu smiled at him, telling him not to mind.

Yan Hui tasted the new tea from Lianghexuan. It is said that this girl just talked about it. The taste is really good, "You are calm."

"It's just a lot of experience."

Yan Hui put down the teacup, "...what do you want to do after it's all over. Prince Rui has children now, look more carefully, the Jiangnan people are outstanding, are you afraid that you won't be able to find something good with your wealth?" Blade Luo Shen vented his anger.

It was probably the first time he saw "impatient comfort", and Cheng Fu's reaction was a little slow.Yan Hui has a realistic and vicious tongue, and he doesn't seem to care about other people's private affairs or comfort others.

But Cheng Fu is not interested in discussing his grievances with Zhao Yanran with him, "Speaking of which, there is something I have always decided on my own without discussing it with you."

"Jinling College?" The little girl didn't shy away from anyone, so he naturally knew.

"His Royal Highness picked some calligraphy and paintings, and will send them when they are finished."

This time she was really surprised, and thought she was going to be reprimanded. "Please convey my thanks to Your Highness on my behalf."

The regular performances in the small theater were reopened on the same day. Due to the cold weather, Cheng Fu also asked Lin Po to pick a few children to collect rice grains, winter clothes, quilts, lamp oil, charcoal, etc. from the Jinling Museum to donate to the lonely old people in the outer city. .

"Miss, why does that person look familiar?" Jiujiu pointed to a man standing at the entrance of the museum, and beside him was a little girl who was only a few years old, dressed in round clothes, holding two strings of big Candied haws, looking curiously at those beautiful brothers and sisters.

The man took two bags of rice noodles from the carriage and sent them to the museum, and everyone in Lianghexuan bowed to him one after another, making him very embarrassed.The little girl didn't know why her father sent the family's rice noodles here, but seeing her father happy, she also giggled.

"Ah, Jingcheng, that's...the one who cried miserably, his family makes leather goods..." Jiujiu was anxious and stuttered.

Cheng Fu also remembered that their family had already returned to Jinling.

Jiujiu suddenly hugged her and started crying, "Miss, you are so kind."

Some of the little maids who followed her to the capital were also moved and her eyes were red. Cheng Fu was not used to such sensational scenes, and while patting Jiujiu on the back, she was looking for someone who could save her.

Luo Xing received her gaze, so he coughed twice, "Where are you going, it's freezing."

On the way home, Cheng Fu remembered that it was already the twelfth lunar month. Wu Ying and Yan Xingsheng should be on the way back to Jinling at this time. I don’t know if the Xu family has received the New Year gift from Lianghexuan. The weather this year is very cold, and several sections of the official road are frozen. The ground is very slippery and accidents are prone to occur. I don't know how long those livestock can live in the capital.

Cheng Han didn't travel far this year, and the academy was closed early, so he was busy with his own affairs at home, and helped his sister write the manuscript by the way.

"Why don't you ask Jing Yuanze about the end of the Jing family?"

"Ah... I never thought about asking him." Once he opened his mouth, it meant that he cared and had a purpose. Given Jing Yuanze's friendship with her, he would probably tell her.But she didn't even think about asking, maybe because subconsciously Jing Yuanze was one of her own, and it was her habit not to embarrass herself.

Cheng Han changed the pen, "She has some background."

Duan'er's name is You Lanping, she is eighteen years old, she is the daughter of the You family in Xiuzhou, and a relative of Mrs. Jing's natal family.A few years ago, she was in good health, and her family begged from all over the world. Youjia even thought of sending her to Beijing for a good future.

Later, she suddenly fell ill. Knowing that the road to Beijing would not work, the You family set their sights on the aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River. Unfortunately, the heirs of the aristocratic families are the most important. She is a sick child who has to deal with funeral affairs at any time. Who is willing? That's why I'm at this age.

Cheng Fu knew that Xiuzhou was close to Hangzhou, but he hadn't heard of any great people there. This wandering family in the south of the Yangtze River seemed to be just an ordinary farming and studying family, far inferior to the Ye family opposite the Cheng family.

"She has a widowed sister-in-law who is the emperor's own sister, Princess Roujia."

Xu Ye went home to have dinner with her at night, and when he heard their brother and sister mention this long-forgotten title, he remembered that he had a relationship with each other when he was a child.I just remember that Princess Roujia is not tall, and she made up for it by wearing high-soled shoes all the year round, but she is a beautiful and dignified woman in terms of appearance.In order not to make her husband wronged, he gave up the comfort of the capital, and the couple returned to Jiangnan to settle down.Unexpectedly, in just three years, Prince You died in the servant girl's room.

The emperor once ordered Princess Roujia to be taken back to Beijing to choose a good Xu, but she fell in love with the landscape in the south of the Yangtze River and was reluctant to leave. She has lived here for more than ten years.

"Wu Lingxiu may be interested in her." Xu Ye half-joked.

"It would be wonderful if she were." On the one hand, the name of the No. [-] family in the south of the Yangtze River, which has long existed in name only, and on the other hand, the royal relatives and national relatives who have borders, how would the Wu family choose?
Cheng Han took two mouthfuls of food, and said slowly, "Talk about that end."

"Her illness is also strange. The symptoms are like illness, but in fact it is poisoning, and she and Youjia have been kept in the dark." Most of the people who can do this without anyone noticing are acquaintances or trusted people.

Cheng Fu hesitated, "Could it be her brother's death..."

Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and Cheng Fu is not so disgusted with this girl anymore.

When Jing Yuanze heard that Cheng Fu was looking for him, he ran over without eating.

"Is your lady guest still alive?"

Jing Yuanze was puzzled, "Why do you care about her all of a sudden...you and she are like that, so forget about selling me face." He was already ill and had a few years to live, and was beaten up by Cheng Fu, and now he can only Stay in bed and rely on others to take care of you.

Cheng Fu told the other party what Cheng Han had found out, and only said that he was outraged. He found out that she was from Xiuzhou, and then sent someone to Xiuzhou to find out by chance.As for the more detailed part, Cheng Han didn't tell her, so she naturally couldn't tell Jing Yuanze.

"Are you sure?" Jing Yuanze said seriously.

"Believe it or not, she deserves to die." The little girl muttered.

Jing Yuanze stood up, "I'll ask her to kowtow to you in the future." After speaking, he strode away.

Capital
After six hundred miles from Dongqiao County were rushed to the hands of Emperor Chengqi, Xu Ze "recovered" the next day and returned to court.Seeing his ruddy complexion, everyone seemed to be a few years younger, and they all speculated whether he was really sick or just pretending to be sick.Xu Ze is thick-skinned enough to say without hesitation that the supplements given by his colleagues work.

A letter from Zhao Yantao arrived one after another in a hurry with Liubaili. There was no sharp wording, no harshness or sarcasm, much less compliments or gratitude, not even a word of self-defense.All I had to do was state why I trusted Luo Can, why I recommended him to Jinling, and admit my mistakes sincerely, taking all the responsibility on myself.

Emperor Chengqi was a little dazed, he couldn't remember how many years he hadn't seen such a simple and unpretentious gesture of admitting mistakes from the prince, and suddenly felt that his original warning seemed a little heavier.

"Give it to Dali Temple or the Metropolitan Procuratorate?"

Xu Ze was still thinking about the pigs at home, this time the number was a bit too much, the big kitchen of Xu's mansion didn't have enough sheds, two pigs ran around last night, disturbing the house and disturbing people's dreams.

"Ah, are you talking to Weichen?"

Emperor Chengqi had a black face, and the memorial in his hand was about to be smashed over again.

"The Metropolitan Procuratorate." Xu Ze said casually.

Emperor Chengqi raised his eyebrows, "Why, Dali Temple is very busy recently?"

"You know that the minister will choose the Metropolitan Procuratorate." Of course, Dali Temple is also really busy.

Emperor Chengqi put down the memorial, "If you want to avenge yourself publicly, I will turn a blind eye."

Xu Ze vomited blood and protested: "Your majesty, you are like this... I already have a reputation as a courtier, and I don't want to have the reputation of being a male favorite and a forbidden servant." Can you still be a monarch and a minister?
The familiar sound of smashing things came from the imperial study room, and the other ministers who were waiting outside to be summoned were terrified. The emperor seemed to be angrier than ever today, and he wondered if Xu Ze was ordered to come out alive.

The wish of wishing the family to see the prince unlucky did not come true. Although it is regrettable, it is well known that the prince was reprimanded.So the new year has not yet passed, and the undercurrent of fighting for the crown prince that has been quiet for a long time has become active again, and anyone can see that the Seventh Prince's Party is stronger than before.

Xu Ze was still not optimistic about the Seventh Prince, because he had done the same wrong thing. The performance of the Prince was very different from that of the Seventh Prince. Based on this, who would occupy that position in the future was already doomed.

A man who has the courage to admit mistakes, does not favor his own people, does not despise laws and regulations, and does not treat court officials as a joke.As for the other, when things go wrong, the mother will always stand up to deal with it, evade the blame, and stay behind and wait for others to clean up.It doesn't matter if you have a bit of talent, being an emperor requires more than just talent.
