Chapter 128 Heartbroken, a ball of air
For ordinary people, the hot summer and cold winter are the most difficult to endure. But for scholars, all four seasons are good.
During the hot summer, you can go to a villa to cool off, or go to a brothel.
In the cold winter, you can enjoy the snow, set up a grill for barbecue, and have good wine and beautiful women...
This is what it means to be alive!
Autumn is the favorite season for readers.
Although spring is full of vitality and everyone is a little restless, it is a bit cold.
Autumn is different, it is neither too hot nor too cold, the sun makes people feel warm, and the autumn breeze makes people feel refreshed and relaxed.
More than ten men and women were gathering at the waterside pavilion of a wealthy and powerful family.
The title, naturally, is poetry reading.
Some people were reciting poems they had just composed, while others were pacing and thinking...
When a man writes poetry, it will only be interesting if a woman is present.
"Who is that person?" The host, Wang Xin, covered half of his face with a round fan and looked at the beautiful girl on the left.
As a maidservant, especially a maidservant for a noble lady, serving others is just the basic skill. What is more important is to be able to inquire about information and handle affairs...
Therefore, once the maidservant of a young lady from a noble family is released, many families will compete to marry her.
But such maids often know a lot of secrets about the young lady and the family. They either marry into the family and have children, and their descendants will become slaves of the family, or they will follow the young lady to her husband's house.
The maid Sun Yan was very capable in this area and had already found out. She stood behind Wang Xin and leaned over to whisper in her ear, "She is the daughter of the Yunnan Mu family."
"Oh!" Wang Xin asked, "What is your identity?"
"It is said that he is of a higher generation, the same generation as Mu Chaobi."
"Interesting, the girl from the Mu family came to the capital. If she said she was looking for a good husband, you can see that although she was entertaining those so-called talented people, her eyes were indifferent and she didn't even look at them. So why did she come to the capital?"
At this time, a young girl suddenly said, "I heard that Zhao Wenhua is about to be released from prison."
"Miss, this is our family's enemy." Sun Yan said.
Wang Xin sneered, "What do you mean by that?"
The girl originally wanted to stab her, but she smiled when she heard that, "I just heard that some people are calling for severe punishment for Zhao Wenhua, and Chang Wei Bo is among them. If Zhao Wenhua is released from prison... I wonder what he will think."
Wang Xin once praised several of Jiang Qingzhi's poems at a party, and this time the girl wanted to use this to ridicule her.
"Whether he is treacherous or not is not something we can say."
At this time, Mu Shu spoke.
The Mu family's daughter actually stood on the other side... Wang Xin looked at Mu Shu coldly, "The Mu family is far away in Yunnan, but do you know about the affairs of the capital? I would like to hear the details."
The girl nodded slightly to Mu Shu, thinking that she would invite Mu Shu to get together later, which could be regarded as finding an ally.
Mu Shu stood up.
"Is Chang Wei Bo's call for severe punishment of Zhao Wenhua right or wrong?"
The person reciting poetry over there stopped.
Those who are planning a "masterpiece" should stop here.
They all looked at Mu Shu.
Yup!
Wang Xin smiled and said, "Zhao Wenhua strongly advocated accepting the surrender of Altan's envoy. Who would have thought that the envoy actually had evil intentions and wanted to assassinate Your Majesty. This is a serious crime. Shouldn't he be severely punished?"
The news of the assassination of Emperor Jiajing by the messenger of Altan Khan was only spread in a small circle at first, but men's mouths were unreliable, and it soon spread everywhere.
The girl was stunned and wanted to fight back, but found herself speechless.
What can you say?
Does this mean that Zhao Wenhua is innocent?
If someone used this to impeach her relatives in the palace, her parents would break her legs.
Don't fight back...
Wang Xin, however, was relentless, "If it weren't for your majesty's mercy, Zhao Wenhua would have been beheaded by now. What do you think?"
She smiled at Mu Shu and thought to herself, it turns out this person is biased towards me.
But Mu Shu had no intention of siding with her at all, he just couldn't stand seeing someone bullying Jiang Qingzhi.
At this time, several servants came in and said something to the young masters opposite. Sun Yan left quietly and came back soon.
"Ms. Miss!"
"What's the matter?" Wang Xin, who had won a great victory, was in a good mood and raised his glass to invite him. Mu Shu also raised his glass in response.
"Just now, Lu Bing personally whipped Zhao Wenhua fifty times."
"Ah!" Wang Xin was stunned.
"And, Miss," Sun Yan said excitedly, "They said that Long Wei Bo was supervising the execution."
"What did you say?" Wang Xin asked.
Sun Yan deliberately raised her voice, "Just now, Jinyiwei Commander Lu personally whipped Zhao Wenhua fifty times, and Chang Weibo supervised the execution."
Wang Xin smiled and looked at the other person, "Did you hear clearly?"
The girl turned pale, "How is it possible?!"
Mu Shu said softly, "It is indeed Long Wei Bo, who makes his opponent heartbroken in impossible ways."
She was increasingly looking forward to the benefits of this Chang Weiber becoming an ally of the Mu family.
But what she didn't know was that Jiang Qingzhi was looking for an opportunity to make a deal with the Mu family and prepare for future plans.
……
"How did you erase Zhao Wenhua's petition of apology?"
"Your Majesty, what did you say?"
The Taoist looked at his cousin coldly.
Jiang Qingzhi was stunned.
The air seemed to freeze.
Jiang Qingzhi went to the palace to report right after the execution. Who would have thought that the Taoist priest would ask him such a question right away.
Could it be that Li Jing’s affair was discovered?
impossible!
If he was discovered, the Taoist would definitely take direct action, such as directly mentioning Li Jing's name.
This is a scam!
Ha ha!
If Jiang Qingzhi's astonished expression is passed down to future generations, it will definitely have a place in the film industry.
Emperor Jiajing pointed at him and said, "Don't lead the third and fourth sons astray. By the way, which girl have you taken a fancy to recently?"
The topic changed so quickly that Jiang Qingzhi was stunned for a moment. "I've been busy lately and don't have time... I'll go to some poetry gatherings later."
"Hmm!" When Emperor Jiajing heard what was going on, his face turned black. It was not until Jiang Qingzhi mentioned that he was going to attend a poetry meeting that he said in a gentle voice: "Women, women, that's how it is. Don't pick the pretty ones."
The Taoist priest actually wanted to teach me the secret of picking up girls... Jiang Qingzhi felt that this matter could be recorded in history. "Why?"
Emperor Jiajing said calmly, "The more beautiful a woman is, the more she thinks highly of herself. Women! Once they think highly of themselves, they will look down on men. Once they look down on men in their bones, it will show in their daily lives. That's all, just remember this. Marry a woman of virtue, understand?"
"Yes." Jiang Qingzhi responded, thinking that the Taoist priest seemed to be an experienced person!
Who dares to look down on me?
Jiang Qingzhi was very curious.
"Are you not leaving yet?" asked Emperor Jiajing.
Jiang Qingzhi laughed dryly and said, "Your Majesty is talking about beautiful women..."
"Guawazi!"
Jiang Qingzhi left quickly.
Although it is immoral to expose people's scars, Jiang Qingzhi is in a good mood.
"Uncle." The third brother came.
"What have you been busy with recently?" Jiang Qingzhi asked.
Prince Yu said, "Recently, the master has a lot of homework."
Xia Yan?
Jiang Qingzhi didn't think that Xia Yan would have nothing better to do than to take care of Prince Yu's homework. The so-called Prince Yu's teacher was just an excuse for Xia Yan to stay in the capital.
So what does he mean?
Jiang Qingzhi asked a few questions calmly and learned that Xia Yan was very relaxed recently and would go around the city when he had nothing to do.
Jiang Qingzhi asked about his whereabouts, chatted with Prince Yu for a few words, and then left.
He first found a restaurant, asked for a private room, and asked Sun Chonglou to guard the door.
In my mind, the big cauldron was spinning rapidly.
"Uncle Ding, don't be anxious!" Jiang Qingzhi widened his eyes.
What exactly made Mr. Ding feel that it would be helpful to the Ming Dynasty?
Jiang Qingzhi is now slowly exploring this rule.
After much thought, the only thing that came to mind was the Zhao Wenhua incident.
The big cauldron slowly stopped.
Digital flip card.
It finally stopped at years.
"It's years more than last time. Not bad, and the pay is good."
Jiang Qingzhi asked: "Master Ding, if Zhao Wenhua is killed, how much more can the country gain?"
The big cauldron was silent.
Jiang Qingzhi suddenly felt something was wrong.
Although Zhao Wenhua had a bad reputation in history, he also helped the Ming Dynasty.
And not small.
If Zhao Wenhua had not accepted bribes and spoken well of Hu Zongxian, the leader of the anti-Japanese movement in the southeast would have been someone else.
Jiang Qingzhi felt that the anti-Japanese war would most likely be disastrous if the commander-in-chief was changed.
If this happens, the Ming Dynasty might be short-lived.
What the hell!
so close!
Jiang Qingzhi wiped a cold sweat, feeling that a country's destiny was indeed complex and unpredictable.
At this moment, the void shook.
"What is it?" Jiang Qingzhi was looking forward to it.
A wooden box emerged.
Pfft!
Fall on the table.
Jiang Qingzhi opened it and took a look.
They are small packages with... something in Russian on the outside?
Open the small package.
"Damn, chocolate?"
……
There is a Taoist temple on the left side of Dongzhimen, called Wuyue Temple.
There are towering old trees in the temple. As the autumn wind blows, fallen leaves float to the ground, and an embroidered shoe steps on them.
"Mr. Xia is a man of great talent, has governed the country for many years, and is deeply trusted by Your Majesty."
The woman walked lightly, and she turned out to be Princess Yong'an of the Jin Prince's lineage.
On the other side, Xia Yan looked at the palace with his hands behind his back, "Is this what the princess came to talk to me about?"
Princess Yong'an smiled and said, "From what I have heard, it is quite embarrassing for Lord Xia to stay in the capital. Lord Xia has many enemies in the past, and I heard that some people want to make things difficult for him."
Xia Yan said calmly: "A gentleman is open and honest, while a villain is always worried. If you have a grudge against me, just come find me. If you don't dare to come, you are ashamed of yourself. If that rat dares to come out, I will step on him to death!"
Princess Yong'an's face turned slightly cold, "Mr. Xia, won't you give it some thought?"
Xia Yan suddenly became impatient, "Isn't it just a hint that I should be dependent on you? How dare a little girl from the Jin King family recruit me. Are you arrogant, or do you think that I am now a rat crossing the street, and I will not live long if I don't find a backer?"
Princess Yongan sneered.
At this time, someone said: "Of course I think you, Mr. Xia, are a rat crossing the street."
Xia Yan smiled upon hearing this, "Qingzhi?"
Princess Yong'an turned around and said, "Jiang Qingzhi!"
"Princess, please be careful not to go the wrong way when you are wandering around the capital." Jiang Qingzhi doesn't like this woman.
Princess Yong'an sneered, "You are now in a difficult situation. Do you also want to recruit Lord Xia?"
Jiang Qingzhi took out the medicine cigarette and lit it slowly, "Why, no?"
Xia Yan looked at the two of them with a calm expression.
A Taoist priest came from a distance and hesitated when he saw the tense situation here.
Under the shade of the tree, the noble lady's fair face showed more sarcasm, "Mr. Xia already has many enemies. You, Jiang Qingzhi, and Yan Song, Lu Bing and others are like water and fire. If Mr. Xia joins you, he will be asking for trouble."
She looked at Xia Yan.
"Mr. Xia, what do you think?"
Although Xia Yan is arrogant, he is not a fool, otherwise how could he have ruled the country for so many years.
Therefore, Princess Yong'an was certain that Xia Yan would find a reliable ally.
And Jiang Qingzhi is a troublemaker.
When away.
Princess Yong'an looked at Jiang Qingzhi with a sarcastic look.
Jiang Qingzhi ignored her and pointed to the hall on the side.
"This place is quite interesting. Mr. Xia, would you like to go in and take a look together?"
Xia Yan smiled, "That's exactly what I wish for!"
"Mr. Xia, try this." Jiang Qingzhi handed Xia Yan a black object.
"What is that? Hmm! Sweet and bitter, but smooth..."
"How about chocolate? It tastes good, right?" Jiang Qingzhi stuffed a piece of chocolate into his mouth. The long-lost taste made him smile.
That spring, my deskmate also stuffed a piece of chocolate into his mouth, and it tasted delicious. Time flies, the young girl back then should have become a wife long ago!
"That's right. I may not say that I have the most experience in the world, but there are not many things I haven't seen. But you always make some things casually, but they are good things I have never heard of. And looking at your appearance, it is clear that you don't take these good things seriously. It's so infuriating!"
"I said I'm a thousand-year-old ghost, do you believe me?"
"So do I have to call you senior? Stop talking nonsense and have another piece. Hey! This thing is addictive! Do you have any more at home?"
"The door of the Jiang family is always open to Xia."
"Then I really have to go visit someone when I have nothing to do..."
A young boy and an old man.
Walk past Princess Yong'an on both sides.
As if there was a ball of air in the middle...
