Chapter 845: The Sword is in the Box
The most beautiful is the April day in the world, located in the North China Plain, the Beijing division is full of spring, in the Qinlin Mansion of the Straw Hat Hutong, the flowers are blooming in purple and red, the spring breeze blows the willow branches and dances, and a pair of swallows fly above the pool.
Xu Xinyi wiped his forehead with a splendid peacock beads and tied his hair, wearing a silk palace dress, stretching out his long legs very unimaged, sitting on the Taihu Lake stone with a golden knife, holding a white chess piece in his hand for a long time, round apricot eyes, looking at the pair of swallows above the pool.
Zhang Zixuan pinched the black chess pieces and knocked on the chess scale: "Hey, it's your turn!" β
In the past, the daughter of the Prime Minister wore a white filial piety dress, as the saying goes, a woman should be pretty and filial, and she became more and more plump and jade, looking forward to Shenfei - returning to Jingshi's house, staying with Qingdai and Xu Xinyi, she has gradually recovered from the blow of losing her loved ones.
Sometimes pain brings more powerful strength, and now Zhang Zixuan seems to smile more than before, but the dignified and resolute color she inadvertently revealed is something she has never had in the past.
The books in her study, the Four Books and the Five Classics and the classics of the Song and Ming Confucians, were all thrown into the corner, and the books she read every day and night were just reported by name, which could scare the gentlemen of Hanlin who were immersed in silver in the Baguwen and the Three Outlines and Five Constants......
These books that have been passed down from generation to generation have subverted all the well-known histories of the world, and the three generations of holy kings Yao Shunyu were not gentle and elegant, and the inheritance of the imperial throne was full of intrigues and tricks; Zhou Gongdan, a sage and sage admired by Confucianism, is not fundamentally different from Wang Mang and Cao Ying; The Seven Heroes of the Warring States Fighting for Hegemony and doing everything with each other......
Xu Xinyi still didn't come back to her senses, Zhang Zixuan knocked on the chess scale again, and she suddenly realized: "Ah? Is it time for me to go? Hehe, in the morning, in order to go to the West Mountain to run horses and release eagles, I got up too early and was a little distracted. β
"I'm afraid it's not because I got up too early, but because I saw the swallows in pairs, I felt something in my heart, right?" Zhang Zixuan pursed her lips and smiled softly.
Xu Xinyi's honey-colored face turned slightly red, and he pursed his lips and said, "Hmph, don't you want that guy?" Alas, only that little fool is heartless! β
A burst of laughter like silver bells came from across the pool, Qing Dai was kicking the shuttlecock with Asha, and the Chengren wall was standing in the middle, and the feather shuttlecock was flying above their heads. Today is the day of the rest of the hospital, and they are all resting at home.
Qing Dai was wearing a blue embroidered lace shirt, full of green silk with a chopstick on top of her head, her face was pink and red, and she giggled from time to time.
Xu Xinyi's voice was a little louder, and she was heard by Qing Dai, she kicked the shuttlecock to Xiao Ding, and walked over with light steps: "Hehe, someone is saying bad things about me behind my back!" β
"Hey, you really don't want your brother Qin?" Xu Xinyi glanced at her.
Qing Dai bit her pink lip and said honestly: "Yes, but Brother Qin said, let's wait for him at home happily, so even if I miss him very much, I have to live happily!" β
"You listen to him," Xu Xinyi pouted, suddenly his apricot eyes rolled, pulled Qingdai to sit down beside him, and coaxed Suo Suo: "Do you want to go to sea, do you want to see the scenery of the southern country, do you want to go to your brother Qin?" The golden goblin has a boat, and if you come forward to say something, she will definitely not refuse......"
Zhang Zixuan smiled, Miss Xu was really restless.
Before Qing Dai could answer, Xu Wenchang walked hurriedly, and the three housekeepers behind him each held a big box.
"Three ladies, Chief Qin sent a letter from Wufeng Maritime Merchant," Xu Wenchang instructed the housekeeper to put down the gift, and then the housekeepers lowered their hands and retreated.
"What's that?" Qingdai did not take off her innocent surname, and her curiosity was the heaviest, so she hurriedly opened the lid of the box.
Inside the first box, there was a very sharp snake-shaped sword, Xu Xinyi's apricot eyes were shining, and he grabbed it in his hand, and slashed it twice, the sizzling sound was sharp and terrifying, and then looked at the short note in the box, saying that it was a snake-shaped sword refined by the natives on Nanyang Island by secret methods.
The second box was opened, the pearl was ground into powder, and the ink was black, which was given to Zhang Zixuan, which could add a lot of color when painting.
It wasn't until the third box was opened that Indigo found her gifts, which were dried seahorses, starfish, shellfish, and strange tropical plants.
"Hehe, maybe in the future, Qingdai can write a book of "Overseas Materia Medica"!" Qing Dai stuck out her tongue and smiled very cutely.
Xu Xinyi hurriedly encouraged her: "Then you should go to Qiongzhou, I heard that Qiongzhou Island is hot, which is very different from the Central Plains, maybe you can find a lot of rare medicinal materials." And passing through the trench realm, there are big and small Franco machine people there, and they must have a lot of foreign drugs in their hands! β
"Ahem," Xu Wenchang coughed dryly, "If you want to go to Qiongzhou to meet Chief Qin, then you don't have to, just now Zhang Xiaogonggong handed over the news from the palace, and there are two pieces related to Chief Qin, which have arrived in Beijing one after another." β
Oh? Zhang Zixuan, who was twisting the pearl powder, raised her head when she heard the words, and her eyes flashed.
Xu Wenchang told the truth that the first chapter was Mo Zhigao, who was a hundred households in Qiongzhou, impeached Qin Lin for being degraded, and did not repent of himself, and used the old Jun'en to run rampant and lawless, openly taking the imperial Nine Dragons jade belt, and was guilty of bullying the king; The second chapter is the first Qing official in the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, Hai Ruihai on the pen frame, resigned from the post of the imperial history of Nanjing's right capital, and at the same time reinstated the Qin Lin official.
Qing Dai and Xu Xinyi were mixed when they heard it, the two movements were diametrically opposed, Hai Rui was of course much more famous than Mo Zhi, but the political situation in the DPRK was unfavorable to Qin Lin, I don't know how the situation will develop?
Zhang Zixuan didn't think about it, so she sneered: "The grasshopper shaking the tree is not self-sufficient, and Mo Zhigao and the small hundred households dare to get involved, but as long as Zhang Siwei is not dizzy, this piece of music must be rejected in the cabinet; It's really unexpected that Brother Qin will be able to deceive him into resigning rather than resigning, but Zhang Siwei will definitely think of other ways to prevent Brother Qin from returning to the court. β
Terrible! Xu Wenchang was impressed, he thought about it for a while, and then came to the same conclusion as Zhang Zixuan.
His eyes collided with Zhang Zixuan unintentionally, and he suddenly felt awe-inspiring in his heart: the current Zhang Zixuan is like a sharp blade hidden deep in the sheath, you will see blood when you come out, and you will see blood to seal your throat!
Xu Wenchang and Zhang Zixuan discussed how to find a way, and their attitude was even more respectful than when facing Qin Lin, and they didn't dare to show the old-timers in their words and deeds.
Qing Dai and Xu Xinyi were puzzled when they heard it, and secretly said that Zhang Siwei and his husband were enemies, how could he stop Mo Zhigao's recital?
In the mansion of Zhang Siwei, the head of the cabinet, the newly rising head of the civil servant, was pacing back and forth with a frown, his face full of impatience, and it took a long time to raise his head and look at Gu Xiancheng, who was sitting precariously: "This is the music of the sea pen stand...... Uncle, what do you think? β
Gu Xiancheng arched his hand: "My lord, there must be something strange about this matter." β
Zhang Siwei: "Haibijia and Zhang Juzheng are not the same party, and even dislike each other, he would rather resign than protect Qin Lin, there must be a big secret behind it." β
Gu Xiancheng leaned forward: "Please also make it clear." β
Zhang Siwei pondered and said: "The trial of the sea pen frame is quite famous, and Qin Lin is also known as the trial of yin and yang, and his eyes are like electricity, it must be Qin Lin who played tricks, and he was impressed by the sea pen frame on this, so that there is today's concert!" β
Gu Xiancheng suddenly realized: "My lord is wise! β
As for Mo Zhigao's recital, Zhang Siwei and Gu Xiancheng didn't even mention half a word, with the spleen surname of Emperor Wanli today, they would never punish Qin Lin for this, because the Nine Dragons Jade Belt was given to Qin Lin by Wanli himself, representing the authority of the emperor, Mo Zhigao knelt not for Qin Lin, but for the Nine Dragons Jade Belt, Wanli, who had just tasted power, would oppose his authority?
Zhang Siwei and his proud protΓ©gΓ© of the new door wall, the two of them racked their brains to deal with Qin Lin, but the matter of recruiting Hai Rui was too big, and the whole world knew that the imperial court was going to reuse the No. 1 Qing official of the Ming Dynasty, Hai Lin, and as a result, Hai Rui was very unexpectedly resigned to protect Qin Lin, which was a big surprise and caught Zhang Siwei off guard.
"Why don't we give him a tired run?" Gu Xiancheng smiled with a hint of ruthlessness.
Oh? Zhang Siwei raised his eyebrows and understood what Gu Xiancheng meant.
In the Ming Dynasty, sometimes the promotion is also a way to rectify people, today he was promoted to Qujing Zhi County in Yunnan, and he was promoted to Jizhou in the north for three months, because the transportation is not developed, the people are tossed in the south and the north, and the fat is often dragged to death, and even some officials are committed suicide by political enemies in this way.
However, where is it better to arrange Qin Lin to? This guy, even if he is thousands of miles away in Qiongzhou, can toss and move, it's not easy to deal with!
Zhang Siwei was thinking about it, and the porter came to report that Wuqing Bofu had sent a jar of Shanxi old vinegar.
Wu Qingbo Li Wei is originally from Shanxi, and Zhang Siwei is a native of Puzhou, Shanxi.
A jar of vinegar is not worth anything, Zhang Siwei didn't take it to heart, but he was suddenly stunned, and then laughed: "It's really getting more and more confused, I didn't expect this place to go, hmph, let someone Qin have the ability to fly away from the sky, and he can't afford to toss a wave!" β
In the Qin Mansion, Zhang Zixuan stroked the Jiuxiao Huanpeiqin, and the song "Ambush on All Sides" was sonorous, with a strong sound of killing, and the maids stood and listened to it for a long time, and their hearts were faintly frightened by the sound of the piano.
At the end of the song, the aftermath lingers.
"Zhang Siwei, Zhang Siwei, today you are in my place, and you will be told to reap the consequences!" Zhang Zixuan plucked the strings hard, and the sound of the piano sounded like a sword.
The old vinegar in Shanxi was given by Zhang Zixuan to Xu Xinyi and asked Wuqing Bofu to give it to Zhang Siwei......
