854. Respect at the best

Xia Lishuang smiled, and there was a rare hint of cunning between her eyebrows.

"Let's not mention this first, have you found out the file of the Lintai poetry case back then?"

Yuan Shurong nodded, and immediately presented a pile of files.

Xia Lishuang smiled and smiled mysteriously at Wen Ranran, "If you can't start from these small things, then you can investigate from the big things!" Back then, those butts were not clean, and some of them will always be found! ”

Wen Ranran blinked.

Outside the door of the imperial study, Jiang Tang's round bun face, still wearing the clothes of the little guard, came in to report.

"Your Highness! The Four Princes are here! ”

Xia Lishuang's eyes lit up slightly, "Please come in!" ”

Yuan Shurong on the side smiled, knowing that there was nothing to do here, so she quietly retreated.

Xia Liqing is dressed in green clothes, with a warm face, with the chivalrous spirit of Confucianism, if you walk on the street, no one will recognize that this is the fourth prince of the dynasty, and will only be regarded as the noble son of other people's families.

"Fourth brother is here! Sit! Rana watch tea! Xia Lishuang raised her head from the file and hurriedly stood up.

Xia Liqing smiled, between his eyebrows, it softened a lot, and he was a little excited when he looked closely.

Wen Ranran obediently went down to prepare tea, and after a while, two fragrant teas were served.

Xia Liqing was taken aback, "The seventh brother is now the prince, how can he bother his younger brother and sister to serve tea in person!" ”

Wen Ranran raised her eyebrows and smiled lightly, "The princess is called the fourth brother, then I should serve tea to my brother!" ”

Xia Liqing laughed and took a sip of tea, although he tried his best to hide it, but there was still a trace of urgency in his expression.

"Seventh brother, do you really want to re-investigate the case of that year?!"

Xia Lishuang nodded, "I promised you before...... Won't break its promise! ”

Xia Liqing hesitated, but still chose to think about the problem from Xia Lishuang's perspective.

"Seventh Brother...... Now that your father is not in the court, if you act rashly like this, I am afraid that it will damage your prince's reputation! ”

The old case is re-investigated, there are too many things to be involved, and there are too few clues, if it is a rollover, then Xia Lishuang will be caught by people and criticized for his pigtails.

The Lintai poetry case has always been a thorn in Xia Liqing's heart, but Xia Lishuang treats him sincerely, and he also doesn't want this matter to affect Xia Lishuang.

Unexpectedly, Xia Lishuang just smiled slightly.

The fourth brother laughed...... The father will punish a few words verbally at most, and he will not blame! ”

Wen Ranran looked at Xia Liqing curiously, smiling without saying a word.

She also understood the meaning of Xia Lishuang's words.

The Lintai poetry case of that year was indeed wronged, and the Xie family, as a new Jin scholar, was too popular, and carried out drastic reforms, which became a thorn in the side of the old school.

Even some of the policies proposed by Xie Yilin at that time were approved by Emperor Rongcheng, but in the end, due to the oppression of the nobles, he had to dispose of the Xie family.

For so many years, of course, the emperor himself did not plan to bring up the old matter again, because once this matter was mentioned, it would be a slap in the face.

But if it is handed over to others to do it, it is different, now Emperor Rongcheng is no longer in the palace, if it can be done, then Emperor Rongcheng can only be said to have been deceived by traitors back then, without knowing it.

Some of the stakes will be much smaller.

Xia Liqing let out a deep breath, looked at Xia Lishuang's encouraging eyes, and still opened the yellowed dossier.

With his movements, Xia Lishuang and Wen Ranran also came over separately.

The dossier is simple, but the charge is inexplicable.

The reason is a poem written by Xie Yilin.

"The wind hides the sky and the clouds cover the sun, the mountains are covered with yin and yang, please go to Jinlintai temporarily, and the sound of the strings is another year."

A very simple poem, it is this poem, the Xie family was slandered as a rebellion, and in the end, none of the Xie family's eighty-one mouths survived.

Wen Ranran looked at the heavy file in front of her, and also sighed deeply.

Throughout the ages, many literati have cut off their heads and wrists because of the prison of words, and Xie Yilin is no exception.

There was the first emperor who burned books to pit Confucianism, and then the Han emperor deposed a hundred schools...... Isn't that all the case?

If this case is to be overturned, it can be overturned, but Wen Ranran knows that Xia Lishuang's ambitions are more than that, and he wants to implement Xie Yilin's policies one by one while overturning the case.

This is the best respect for a chivalrous man.
