Prince Consort

Chapter 182

Collusion is by no means universally applicable.

The more treacherous some people are, the easier it is to be jealous of others. Shen Jingqing would pull Cai Dong into his group, firstly because Cai Dong could see Zhao Chongzhao, and secondly because after several years of getting along, Cai Dong has always praised him and praised him. Very comfortable.Now that Du Wan descended from the sky, Shen Jingqing couldn't help cursing: "Shameless!"

The three of them immediately became angry with that Du Wan.

Du Wan is a speculator, a real speculator.He wrote a letter, on behalf of the folks, exaggerating about the Qingmiao Law.

Du Wan came from a serious Jinshi background, with outstanding literary talents, and Yao Dingyan felt at ease with her compliments, and she almost didn't make her a confidant.Before the three of Yao Qingze could think of a way to exclude this guy from the "New Party", Yao Dingyan had already led him to see Zhao Chongzhao.

Du Wan was young and handsome, and Zhao Chongzhao found it pleasing to the eye, so he agreed to Yao Dingyan's appointment in the Department of Regulations of the Third Division.

Du Wan was overjoyed and immediately set up a house in the capital.

Du Wan's new house was chosen near Geng Xun's house, and as soon as Geng Xun got home, he listened to Du's family silk and bamboo, apparently hosting a banquet, singing and dancing to entertain guests.Geng Xun frowned, secretly remembering Du Wan.

When he returned home, he remembered something that a colleague of Yushitai secretly told him.Someone secretly bribed the people at Yushitai, asking them to impeach two people with a clear price tag: one is Xie Ze'an, and the other is the "upstart" Du Wan.

Geng Xun couldn't find anything in common between these two people.Although Xie Ze'an was suspected of winning the holy family alone, he acted very properly and never did anything out of the ordinary.Although he recently raised the "female official" words and made many people dislike him, his intentions were good.If it weren't for him being a son-in-law, just based on his literary talent and his ideas, how many women in the world would be so attached to him!

As for Du Wan, she is just a speculator, she looks like a person who indulges in pleasure, how could she be tied up with Xie Ze'an?

Geng Xun went to Qin Mingde immediately to "communicate".

Qin Mingde was slightly surprised.He looked at Geng Xun carefully for a while, and said quietly: "Zijun, have you noticed that your opinion of Saburo has changed a lot?"

Geng Xun was startled.

Qin Mingde said: "Don't let that kid know. That kid often pushes his nose and face. If he really knows that you have greatly changed his opinion, he will definitely count everything for you."

Geng Xun didn't take it seriously: "He said he counted me as a share? How could I listen to him." Having said that, he was quite interested in how to follow the "counting a share" method.

Seeing Geng Xun thoughtful, Qin Mingde didn't say much.He nodded and said: "I know everything you said. Ma Yushi left me the position of censor, and I will not let him down. If anyone in the censor platform accepts bribes, I will definitely clear them out. "

With Qin Mingde's quasi-words, Geng Xun felt relieved.

Geng Xun left the Qin residence and walked home on foot.Before he had gone far, he suddenly saw a man riding a horse, dressed in brocade clothes and a crown on his head, his age was between a teenager and a young man, he looked handsome, as if the world was full of love and moonlight between his eyebrows.Who is such a first-class romantic person in the capital if it is not Xie Sanlang from the Xie family.Xie Jiasanlang was only a bit handsome when he was young, but as he got older, his demeanor became more and more outstanding.

Geng Xun looked away from Xie Zean, turned his head to look around, and saw that other people seemed to be in a daze.

The most speechless thing was that the singing girls in a karaoke not far away were leaning on the building to look at him, throwing silk handkerchiefs at Xie Zean when he was passing by on horseback.

It seems that Xie Sanlang is really popular.

Geng Xun walked home, inexplicably feeling a little weird.He never cared about other people's appearance before, but Xie Ze'an's appearance always appeared in his mind on the way back.After falling asleep at night, Geng Xun had a hazy dream of the past scene, in which Xie Ze'an said to him again, "The imperial court needs you".This time, instead of being indifferent, he shook hands with Xie Ze'an excitedly, and told about all the injustices he encountered after entering the court.The two chatted happily until the moonlight faded, and they still didn't feel tired. Talking about the bright sky on the night of holding candles...

When Geng Xun woke up, he broke out in a cold sweat.

Geng Xun went to court in a trance, glanced at Xie Ze'an who was standing in the front row, and stood still in the same place in a daze.

Zhao Chongzhao was sitting on the throne, and he could see the movements below at a glance.When he found that Geng Xun's eyes were fixed on Xie Ze'an, he felt a little displeased.Turning around to look again, good guy, many people's eyes are on Xie Ze'an, and I don't know what their intentions are.

Zhao Chongzhao was displeased, and was about to tell Zhang Dade to say, "Let's play if there is something to do, and leave the court if there is nothing to do", when someone stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to play!"

Zhao Chongzhao glanced at the other party, and found that the other party was a little embarrassed, nodded and said, "Let's talk."

The man said, "I want to join Du Wan! After Du Wan's mother passed away, he should have kept his filial piety, but Du Wan kept it secret and never went into mourning!"

There was an uproar.

Daqing governs the world with filial piety, and it is a serious crime not to observe mourning and filial piety!

If this is true, Du Wan's game is really over!

Geng Xun and Qin Mingde exchanged glances, secretly remembering the speaker.

The turmoil came too fast, and Geng Xun had no time to figure out what was going on in the dream last night. He and Qin Mingde had already sent someone to verify the impeachment of the speaker.After further investigation, Geng Xun found that this was not done by a person who took bribes, but an official from Yushitai who had a good relationship with Gu Yun, Gu Cheng and his son.

When mentioning Gu Yun, Gu Cheng and his son, many people first think of their literary talents.However, Gu Yun is a practical man, and he worked for Jing Zhaoyin a few years ago, and he was highly praised for his insight into the case.In the early days, Gu Yun and Gu Cheng were both supporters of the new law, and many famous articles advocating the new law in "New Wind" were written by their father and son.It's just that in the past two years, Gu Yun and his son have gradually developed suspicions with the "New Party". When Fang Baocheng and Shen Cunzhong implemented the "Exemption Law", they even expressed their opposition clearly.

No way, the center of the exemption law is "the whole country has to serve, and you can pay if you don't serve."Originally, people with fame and fame did not need to serve or pay money. Once this method came out, they would either serve or pay money. How aggrieved they felt!

When Gu Cheng wrote an article opposing the "Exemption Law", even Xie Ze'an was really surprised.After thinking about it, I realized that any change, no matter whether it is a good law or a bad law, will always infringe on the interests of some people.Even those who advocated for the new law at the beginning may turn their backs if their interests are damaged.

This time Yao Dingyan appointed Du Wan, and Gu Yun and his son couldn't get used to it again.Their hometown is also on that side, and someone wrote to them saying that Du Wan was lying with her eyes open, and Qingmiaofa had already caused complaints over there!Du Wan forcibly apportioned the money for the young crops, completed her task beautifully, and came to Beijing to become an official.

What's even more exasperating is that before entering Beijing, Du Wan also said, "Smile and scold me, I will be a good official myself."

This means "you can scold me whatever you want, I'm going to be a high official hahaha".Can Gu Yun and his son bear it?Gu Yun could bear it, but Gu Cheng couldn't.So Gu Cheng rolled up his sleeves after getting to know Du Wan.

Literati fights seem gentle, but in fact they are not gentle at all.Du Wan's disobedience to filial piety is actually not that serious. Du Wan once claimed that she was not born by that "mother" and that she does not need to be filial.But splashing dirty water doesn't need to kill the other party, just make the other party notorious.

As soon as the story of going to court spread, Du Wan's reputation was bad.

When Xie Zean returned to the mansion, Du Qing and Du Xing were worrying about the wine.Seeing Xie Zean come back, they stood up and said, "I heard that a kid named Du Wan came to Beijing recently?"

Xie Ze'an said: "Yes, do they have any relationship with you, sir?"

Du Qing said: "It doesn't matter, we haven't seen it before. But a few days ago, we received a letter from Feng Yaowu, saying that his son is promising and has become an official in Beijing."

Du Xing said: "I don't even look at his son's virtue! I can't guess that within three months, his son will definitely leave the capital in despair."

Du Qing said: "The family is unfortunate."

Xie Ze'an laughed when he heard them give you a glance, and said, "It turns out that Du Wan and you are in the same family."

Du Xing and him were in a hurry: "I don't have such relatives!" He sneered, "I didn't even recognize my biological mother in order to become an official, shamelessly saying that I was not born to his mother, you say this is a human thing Is it? Fortunately, our elder brother is willing to speak for him."

Xie Ze'an said, "You seem to dislike this Du Wan very much."

Du Qing said: "Of course I don't like it. This kind of person who indulges in sex and pleasure is not suitable for doing business. He is an old hand at flattering people. No, even Yao Dingyan has followed his way."

Du Xing chuckled: "As long as you praise the new law, who can tell Yao Dingyan?"

Xie Zean fell silent.

The criticism from the court was obviously only the first wave.Soon, many literati began to praise a filial son in the capital. He was born to his aunt and grew up beside his aunt.After this deed spread, a group of people headed by Gu Cheng praised this filial son so much that they almost missed him.

This move is ruthless enough, look at her, she is clearly not her own and has guarded the tomb for ten years, but what about Du Wan?Excusing that he was not born by his mother, and clinging to the official position, how can such shameless people be officials in the court!

This stark contrast caused Du Wan to plummet.

Du Wan was not the most anxious person, because Yao Dingyan lost his temper earlier than him.Lu Kuan didn't mind it last time, it was exposed by his students, so he can bear it.this time?What are Gu Cheng and his son?If it goes on like this, who would dare to approach him!

Yao Dingyan summoned the "New Party" angrily, determined to launch a fierce counterattack...
