Confucius businesswoman: proud of the world

Chapter 224 Downgrading to a Family
Someone wrote an anonymous letter and threw it on Emperor Liang's desk overnight.

The above details the insidious activities that Liang Hui, the commander of Jinyiwei at the time, had done over the years, including the penetrating deeds described in the letter when he framed his brother and snatched his wife.

After watching it, Emperor Liang trembled with anger, and ordered Liang Hui's wife, Zhao Xueyun, to be summoned into the palace overnight.

As soon as Zhao Xueyun entered the palace, she collapsed in front of the imperial court, with tears streaming down her cheeks. Emperor Liang asked her about the content of the letter one by one, and each of them was acknowledged by Zhao Xueyun.

In the end, Emperor Liang was so angry that he couldn't even ask questions.

He had trusted the commander of Jin Yiwei for ten years, but he turned out to be such a beast in clothes, who would accept it?

But Zhao Xueyun saw that Emperor Liang stopped asking questions, and stared blankly at the letter that counted all the crimes in detail, and suddenly got up from the ground, stumbled and slammed into a pillar on one side.

Emperor Liang was so startled that he almost fainted again, and shouted "Come on!", which was enough to pull Zhao Xueyun back, but who made her move too fast, when she pulled back, her forehead was dripping with blood, and finally the empress herself She took Zhao Xueyun away and stayed in her own palace to appease her.

No woman can bear this kind of thing. After being cheated by the enemy for ten years and becoming the wife of the enemy, the queen couldn't help but feel extremely sympathetic.

That night, Liang Hui was decreed to be dismissed from all positions and sent directly to prison.

There was an uproar in Jin Yiwei, and everyone began to feel insecure.None of them expected that the matter of the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven would involve so many details, and even abolished one of their commanders.

The nine Jinyi guards who went out to rescue Liang Hui before were also dispatched one by one, and they were all disposed of.

All developments are actually following a path in the dark, and there is only one person who is least surprised, that is Su Ye.

Jing Wuchang's chess skills have improved a bit, and he can last longer with Su Ye.

Su Ye said: "Jinyiwei is in disarray right now, it's a good time for you to take advantage of the situation. I said before that you want to get everything back from Liang Hui, including the position of commander of Jinyiwei."

Jing Wuchang stared at the chessboard, and paused for a rare moment, "Now, I don't want to go back to Jinyiwei anymore."

Suye didn't show any surprise, he just looked at Jing Wuchang with a slight smile: "Jin Yiwei is a useless knife in Liang Hui's hands, it will only smear blood and hurt people. But you are different, if you sit in that position, Jin Yiwei must I will also change my mind."

Jing Wuchang squeezed out a smile: "Thank you for your praise, young master. But Jing thinks she is mediocre, and there are actually limited things she can do. And in the past ten years, the person I have treated the most is Zhao Niang."

The smile in Su Ye's eyes deepened: "It seems that you are indeed much stronger than Liang Hui."

Jing Wuchang's attitude has been turned upside down. Before, he was full of revenge, but now he suddenly realized what is really important. Suye felt that helping him was not in vain.

Jing Wuchang smiled slightly, and also looked at Su Ye calmly: "Young Master, don't talk about me, but there is something I want to tell you."

Su Ye paused the hand that was holding on to the chess pieces, and asked in surprise, "Tell me what?"

Jing Wuchang said leisurely, "Young Master and Eldest Miss already have a child, isn't the relationship between Young Master and Miss Kong now much closer than that between me and Zhao Niang?"

Suye slowly dropped the chess pieces, but she was a little absent-minded.

The smile on Jing Wuchang's mouth became thicker: "Why is the young master still staying here and not looking for Miss Kong?"

Su Ye took another white piece from the box: "I still have some things to deal with."

Jing Wuchang showed noncommittal: "Young master has a lot of plans every day, and he can calculate everything, but the young lady's thoughts are not something that can be calculated. Or there is a saying, a woman's heart is a needle in the sea, just like Zhao Niang and I, we have a good relationship with each other. There are still many unexplainable things, so I can only take the initiative and communicate with Zhao Niang."

Su Ye stared at the chess game for a long time without moving, as if he didn't know how to make this move, but in fact, from the surface of the game, he had already won.

Jing Wuchang abandoned his son to admit defeat, and stood up with a smile: "Don't disturb my son, I will take my leave first."

-

Liang Hui was dealt with after Emperor Liang amnesty the world, so Liang Hui deserved to spend the rest of his life in prison.

It is impossible for him to be pardoned for his crimes, unless Emperor Liang is dead.

The upheaval in central Beijing was brought under control in time, at least the common people did not discuss it for too long, but it was the dignitaries in central Beijing that shocked them.

For several days in a row, Emperor Liang's face was ashen, and he shut up in his study and drove away several ministers.

"Just now, the young master of the Suye family sent two things to the palace." The queen's voice was pleasant and leisurely, "I want to show your majesty."

As soon as the empress comes, Emperor Liang must suppress any troubles first.He said stiffly: "Suye Liqing? What does he want to do at this time, his hidden guards did not keep me safe during the Huangji Temple."

When the emperor was angry, he naturally thought that there was nothing good about it. Even if the hidden guard was not at fault, he could still say something without merit.

The queen slowly took out the things placed in her sleeves, and showed the ancient dragon pattern to Emperor Liang.

The emperor is very sensitive to things like dragon patterns, because since he ascended the throne, such things should not appear on another hand other than his own.

Even if it was the queen's hand that was taken out at this time.

Emperor Liang immediately stepped forward and said sharply: "What is this?!" Actually, he understood enough when he asked. Although such things are different from those of the modern dynasty, as an emperor, he should always recognize the imperial decree.

The queen said leisurely: "It's what His Majesty really wants, the old pilgrimage scroll in the hands of the Kong family."

Emperor Liang stared at the imperial decree, but his face was full of hostility.

"You said just now that Young Master Suye gave you this thing? How did it end up in his hands?" There was a rare viciousness in these words.

The queen raised her eyes and stared at Emperor Liang's face: "If what your Majesty is asking is this, then it is the same as if the concubine's things will be in your Majesty's hands, the reason is the same."

Concubine Qin was taken away for such a big event, and the dozens of pairs of imperial guards in the yard were not blind, so they didn't tell Emperor Liang when they came back.

Although Emperor Liang had the idea of ​​marrying someone as his concubine, it was still an idea after all, and he didn't publicize it to others.So there is nothing to hold back Emperor Liang's face in this matter.

Emperor Liang immediately changed the topic: "He won't meet me in person and hand over such things to me?"

The old pilgrimage relics were casually delivered to others, and he didn't even go to the palace to ask for an imperial edict to face the saint. Emperor Liang felt murderous in his eyes for a while.

Unexpectedly, the queen said easily: "He is kneeling outside the hall now, it was my concubine who told him not to come in."

Emperor Liang then stuck his throat again, and looked at the queen angrily: "Why are you stopping me?"

The queen slowly took out another thing from her sleeve, and her eyes slowly fell on Emperor Liang's face: "Because he has another thing."

"Together with the imperial decree, there is also the Dark Guard Talisman passed down from generation to generation by the Suye family."

As the queen said, the thing in her hand had already been handed over to Emperor Liang.

Emperor Liang looked at the thing in his hand in disbelief, the cold touch of black jade winding along his skin.Dark Guard's Talisman...

The reason why the four major families are twisted together is because everyone has their own power, and the later decline of the Situ family is because this power was disintegrated, and Suye personally presented the soldier talisman of the dark guard.

With this piece of black jade in the palm of his hand, the weight of everything seems to be different.

Emperor Liang took a deep breath.

The queen smiled slowly, and picked up the imperial decree in her hand again, "These two things were handed over to His Majesty by Young Master Suye. Of course, Your Majesty doesn't need to talk about them with good intentions."

At this time, Emperor Liang's expression had completely sunk. He stared at the ancient dragon scroll in the Queen's hand without saying a word.

The queen took the initiative to caress her with her hand and said, "Do you want to know, Your Majesty, what is written in this edict to the Kong family?"

What you write is crucial.It was also the key to why Emperor Liang was even afraid that a lowly merchant would have this sacred object.

But Emperor Taizu's imperial decree, even if Emperor Liang wanted to read it at that time, he did not have the right to order the Kong family.

So the more you can't see what's written in person, the suspicion in your heart will increase day by day.

Now the decree is at hand.

The Queen's white hand slowly unfolded the imperial decree in front of Emperor Liang, and the Emperor Liang read the two lines of the imperial decree word by word.

After reading it, observing his expression, the queen also smiled lightly.

The queen looked back at the content of the imperial decree, and said leisurely: "It is said that the ancestor of the Kong family helped our emperor Taizu by accident. The Kong family wrote a decree to do business on behalf of the sky, and this decree has been preserved by the ancestors of the Kong family until now. In fact, in the final analysis, it is a plaything for the Emperor Taizu when he is happy."

A calligraphy treasure that the emperor has at hand can be rewarded as gold to his servants, but in fact it has no effect, and the rewarded person will have an additional burden from then on.

Emperor Liang did not make a sound, indicating that he had no opinion on this imperial decree.

The queen then sighed: "Of course the Emperor Taizu can make jokes, but as commoners, the Kong family can't, and they don't even dare to publicize it elsewhere. They can only hide it from generation to generation with trepidation, and the same will be done to future generations."

The queen easily thought that with the change of the court, this thing would become more and more hot potato, because who would dare to say the words "trading for the sky", no matter how big or small the Kong family's business is, the word "for the sky" will let them I dare not breathe.

In case someone is interested, how much meaning can these two words derive?The emperor is the son of heaven, and he does business for the sky, whose sky is it for?
Thinking of this, the queen suddenly smiled.

Emperor Liang put the imperial decree aside with a sullen face: "Enough."

The queen didn't say much, just smiled, and after putting down the two things, she consciously drifted away.

Su Ye, who was kneeling outside the courtyard, met the queen and realized that she no longer had to wait for Emperor Liang's summons.

-

Suye and Situ Xueyi met in the corridor of the palace, Situ Xueyi smiled and looked at Suye with meaningful eyes.

But no matter what he meant, Su Ye glanced over it lightly.

Although Situ Xueyi made a "contribution", but at most he was slightly exempted from his guilt. It was impossible for the Situ family to regain the trust of Emperor Liang.

So after capturing Concubine Qin, Emperor Liang ordered that the family of Situ's family be cut down and reduced to a noble family.

Perhaps ordinary people don't understand what it means to be reduced to a noble family, which is roughly equivalent to the difference between a farmer entering a noble family.

Aristocratic family, the noble family comes first, the noble family comes behind, the Situ family was ordered by Emperor Liang never to enter the noble family, that is the sign that he can only bow down forever.

For a person like Situ Xueyi whose eyes are higher than the top and who wants to count all the tricks, this time it was on his own head.

"Young Master Suye is willing to give up everything for a woman." Situ Xueyi laughed teasingly.

Su Ye stopped walking, turned around and looked at him: "You can only get what you have to give up, and Mr. Situ wants everything, so everything will be in vain in the end."

Situ Xueyi was quiet and slightly cold: "Are you talking too much?"

Su Ye simply raised his eyes to face him and said, "Does Mr. Situ know how it feels to protect a person?... These problems may be encountered by Mr. Situ one day. I think Mr. Situ will not be inferior to you at that time. But At least now, no matter how many times you do it again, the young master can only lose to me."

This is the corridor in the palace, there are eyes even in the dark, even if Situ Xueyi is strong in martial arts, he can't do anything to Suye when he is mad.

Su Ye smiled, turned around and left after speaking.

-

It's just that in the silk and satin village, the sun is just right, and the business is booming all of a sudden.

Kong Linglong was sitting in the private room, listening to the hustle and bustle of the past, but suddenly realized that there was nothing left for her to do.

This capital city is still prosperous, but she is sitting here as before, but she feels empty.

Looking out the window, Kong Linglong suddenly said, "Yu'er, should we go back?"

After all, this capital city is not for them to stay in. The land of Xianyang has been away for too long, but after all, there is the root.

The two servant girls were working, and they looked at her in surprise after hearing this.

Kong Linglong's face was dazed, and she was no more sober and clear than the two maids.Yu'er and Fuling quickly exchanged glances, the young lady was obviously not in a good mood, maybe they should think of some way to comfort the young lady.

At this moment, Yu'er caught a glimpse of a carriage approaching outside the window, and suddenly, her eyes seemed to be lit up.

"Miss, Su..." Yu'er pointed at the door and shook Kong Linglong's shoulder excitedly, "Miss, look, Mr. Su Ye is here!"

Suye was standing in front of a carriage, knowing that Kong Linglong had looked over, she deliberately shook her fan and smiled.

Kong Linglong saw that he didn't move, and Suye stood there for a while, a little embarrassed, so she took a step forward and walked into the silk and satin shop.

"exquisite."

Seeing that he was well dressed today, Kong Linglong asked, "Where are you going?"

Suye looked at her deeply, "Linglong, I want to ask you to go outing in the suburbs of the city, is it possible?"

Kong Linglong paused and looked at him leisurely.Fuling Yu'er and the two maids looked at each other, but suddenly became excited.

Yu'er immediately said: "My lord, Miss said she wants to go back to Xianyang."

Suye immediately put away her fan, looked at Kong Linglong and said, "Going back to Xianyang? Just right, let's go back together."

The two girls became even more excited when they heard the words, and Yu'er asked again: "Really, Mr. Suye wants to come back with us?"

Su Ye pretended to be serious: "Of course it's true. I even handed over my only hidden guard. What's the use of staying in the capital?"

In fact, no matter when he stays in the capital, his status as Su Ye's young master is equally useful.But since he said that, it showed that he just wanted to accommodate Kong Linglong.

The maids were overjoyed, and each poked Kong Linglong with their hands to make her express her opinion.

They all found out that Young Master Su Ye's heart disease still lies with Young Master Su Ye, and now Young Master Su Ye took the initiative to come to Young Miss's side, it's really great.

Kong Linglong stared at Suye, Suye stepped forward and stared at her very tenderly: "Linglong, how are you?"

Suye's expression combined with his tender tone at this time made the two maids beside him blush, and they quickly withdrew from the private room.

Coincidentally, the warm sun came in through the window, and Kong Linglong felt a little dry, so she looked away and lowered her head, and softly said the word that she had thought about for a long time from her throat: "Okay."

……

Su Ye smiled, and immediately hugged her tightly with his arms.
