Chapter 168(1/2)
Two days later, Zhao Xing came to Xue Yushi's home.
Tuoba Dingdang was stuck in traffic for two days, and Fan Xiaodao also stayed in the six doors for two days. Suddenly, he was bored. He originally wanted to come out with Zhao Xing, but because he was afraid of Tuoba Dingdang, he was persuaded to stop him. Finally, he wanted to come out with Zhao Xing.
Yang Deshui had to tie him up into a rice dumpling with a rope.
The imperial censor Xue Bing has been having trouble sleeping and eating these past few days, and has not thought about food or tea. He spent all his energy and brains thinking about this impeachment memorial.
Zhao Xing got straight to the point, "I heard that Yushi Xue wrote a masterpiece that will last forever!"
Xue Yushi said, "I have written the memorial but haven't submitted it yet. How did you know about it?"
Zhao Xingdao said, "Your letter "On the Harm of Enchantresses to the Country" has long been published in volumes and has been widely circulated in the capital. Many people spent a lot of money to find it. Paper was so expensive in Luoyang for a while! At that time, there was Hai Qingtian's "On Public Security"
"Now that you have brought disaster to the country, these two memorials will probably be remembered forever!"
"Is this happening?"
"What a coincidence, I brought one today!"
Xue Yushi took the essay and couldn't help but sweat after reading it. It listed the ten major crimes of Princess Taiping, including selling an official position, taking bribes and perverting the law, killing people and selling goods, abducting people, raping women, intending to rebel and other crimes. It was painful.
Princess Chen Taiping committed crimes and called her a witch. At the end, she wrote angrily: "If we don't get rid of this girl, heaven will not tolerate it! If we don't kill this person, humans and gods will be angry!"
Xue Yushi's teeth chattered, "This... this was not written by me!"
But the article was signed by Xue Bing.
Originally, he wanted to betray Princess Taiping and impeach Princess Taiping, and he also wrote some innocuous things, such as reporting on the other party's personal ethics, not paying attention to dress etiquette, speaking without restraint, etc., but before sending it out, there was something.
This article "On the Harm of Enchantresses to the Country" was circulated outside, and his name was written on the key!
Zhao Xingdao: "The people of the world have been suffering from peace for a long time. Now Xue Yushi speaks out for justice, and the people in the capital are all applauding. Xue Yushi, you don't have to be modest!"
An undercurrent hit his head.
Yushi Xue felt dizzy and dizzy, and there was only one thought left in his mind: I am going to die!
He read the memorial carefully and felt that the writing style and word choice were somewhat familiar, and that they had a style similar to that of Qin Jin, the imperial censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
However, since Xu Yushi was assassinated, the Qin Yushi accepted an official job and was killed by bandits on the way. It is said that his death was extremely tragic. At the funeral, he went to express his condolences in person and accompanied ten people.
A share of two.
Why is his article placed on his own head?
Zhao Xing did not dwell on this. He came to see Yushi Xue for the purpose of sneaking into the Prince Consort's Mansion. He said, "Don't hand in that memorial yet. I came to see you for something. You have to go out for a vacancy."
!”
Hearing this, Xue Bing was surprised and happy that His Highness the Prince had arranged an errand for himself so quickly, "Where are you going?"
Zhao Xing shook his head, "I don't know, you have to ask for help."
"Who am I begging for?"
"Money Consort."
Xue Bing thought to himself that the matter of impeachment had not been settled yet. If he was asked to go to the Prince Consort's Mansion, he would be eaten alive by them, and said: "I don't ask for help, let alone an official."
Zhao Xingdao said, "You don't ask for an official, but you still run to the Prince Consort's Mansion every now and then? Why, if something happens, you don't dare to go? Don't forget, Mr. Xue still has something in our hands. As long as we take those things to the court."
Hand in hand, Master Xue’s official position may not be guaranteed.”
Xue Bing still couldn't bear his threat and said: "How can I ask for it?"
Zhao Xingdao: "Of course it will be money. When the time comes, I will pretend to be your follower and go with you. You have to find a way to get to Yu Ren's study and leave the rest to me."
Xue Bing said: "I understand, His Highness the Crown Prince wants me to continue to be an undercover agent. His Highness is really willing to spend money!"
Zhao Xing chuckled, "That's wrong, you have to pay for it yourself."
"Why?"
Zhao Xingdao said, "You want to be an official by yourself, but we have to pay for it. How can there be such a good thing in the world? A magistrate who is sent to the outside world needs a hundred thousand taels of silver at least."
Xue Yushi curled his lips and said, "I don't have that much money."
Zhao Xing consoled him, "I'm just asking you to explore the road. It doesn't necessarily cost money, but if the matter is completed, His Highness will consider your promotion."
Returning to the six gates, Zhao Xingdao said: "That's it! Xue Bing sent the greeting card early in the morning. He will go to Yu Ren tomorrow to explain the issue of the memorial and inquire about the process of buying the short supply with money. When the time comes, I will follow
Sneak in together and play by ear. What are you doing?"
Fan Xiaodao got some carpenter's tools from nowhere and was playing with some utensils when he heard Zhao Xing ask and said: "I'm making a crossbow. I modified the crossbow and loaded it with ten kilograms of black powder. I took advantage of Tuoba's nap.
When the time comes, shoot him to the sky with one shot!"
Zhao Xingran said, "Save your strength. He is a martial arts master. Let alone the ballista, even if you bring the red cannon over, you may not be able to hurt him at all."
Fan Xiaodao said dissatisfied, "That guy is like a hanged man. He blocks the door every day. If I don't deal with him, I won't be able to get out!"
"After a few days of persistence and the arrival of masters from various sects in Beijing, someone will naturally deal with him!"
Fan Xiaodao then thought about it, tomorrow Zhao Xing will go to the Prince Consort's Mansion with Xue Bing. Since everyone knows that Tuoba Dingdang blocked him in the six doors, why not come out with a golden cicada, put on disguise, and go out together to explore the way?
Zhao Xing refused, "It's too dangerous. Tuoba Dingdang is determined to kill you. If you are found to have sneaked out of the six doors, what extraordinary actions will you take if you are not protected?"
The next day, Zhao Xing went to meet Xue Bing. As soon as he was out of the six doors, he was stopped by someone. He looked up and saw Fan Xiaodao changed into a servant's attire, with his hair tied and a crown, "Why are you out?"
Fan Xiaodao said, "If I don't come out for some air, I'm afraid I'll hit the wall and die before Tuoba Dingdang can kill me."
"But His Highness asked you to..."
"Now that I'm out, you can't let me go back, right?"
Zhao Xing had no choice but to come to Xue Bing's house. The two of them changed their faces for a while and turned into two personal followers. They came to the Prince Consort's house.
Xue Bing sat upright, a little nervous about what he was about to face. After all, there were people outside posting articles attacking Princess Taiping in his name. If he offended the princess, even if the prince protected him, he would still be afraid of losing his life.
Not long after, the servant said, "Master Yu is waiting for you in the study."
The three of them came to the study room and saw the rest of them sitting in front of the desk, reading a memorial with great interest. When they saw Xue Bing coming to say hello, they stood up quickly and said, "Xue Yushi has written a masterpiece that will last forever."
!”
When Xue Bing saw that what the others were reading was the fake "On the Harm of Enchantresses to the Country", he suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
Yu Ren said calmly: "I was waiting for you to come to explain this matter, but I didn't expect that you delayed coming until now!"
Xue Bing trembled and said, "Master Yu, Mr. Yu, this memorial was not written by me. I was wrongly accused!"
The rest of the crowd asked, "You didn't write it. Could it be that I wrote it? After you said that last time, I even went out of my way to help you keep an eye on recent vacancies. I didn't expect you to make such a fuss!"
Xue Bing was so frightened that her teeth chattered.
Seeing that their goal was achieved, the rest said: "However, when it comes to this article, it is written with great literary talent and does not use curse words. It is worthy of being from the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Even Princess Taiping was full of praise after reading it.
!”
"She...she has seen it too?"
Xue Bing felt like five thunders were hitting his head, and the smell of urine came out. He felt like the world was spinning and he fainted.
The rest snorted coldly: "It's no use!" Then they said to Fan and Zhao, "Why are you still standing there? Wake him up quickly and clean up the place!" After that, they pinched their noses and left.
The two of them looked around the study room and saw the "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" hanging in the middle hall. They looked at each other and said, "Here's the opportunity!" Just as they were about to step forward, the rest of them left and came back again, saying, "That's it, here it is.
There are too many confidential documents, let the minions sort them out later."
The two men stepped forward, pinched her, and slapped her chest. After a while, Xue Bing woke up and asked, "Am I still alive?"
Fan Xiaodao said: "Sir, you are living well!"
Yu Ren said, "That is to say, the princess is generous and cherishes talents. She does not care about you. Instead, she wants to remember you!"
"record merits?"
Yu Ren said slowly, "You also know that the Six Gates and the Crown Prince are currently investigating Baihua Tower, and the princess is somewhat passive in the court. When you published this article, you did her a favor by calling her a monster.
The more harshly you scold her, the more beneficial it will be to her."
Xue Bing said: "The official is puzzled."
"There are some things you don't need to understand."
Fan Xiaodao grasped the key. How much courage does it take for the imperial censor to impeach the princess? With your majesty’s suspicious character, it is absolutely impossible if there is no one to instruct you behind the scenes. On the contrary, your majesty feels that Princess Taiping, who looks weak and charming, can
It's that poor guy.
At a certain moment, Fan Xiaodao even felt that this scolding article was most likely released by the princess group in order to win the emperor's sympathy.
Yu Ren said, "So, the princess has decided to praise you!"
Happiness came so suddenly that Xue Bing thought there was something wrong with his ears.
The remaining people came to the painting in the middle hall and put their hands on a vase. Just as they were about to turn it, they suddenly said to the two of them, "You two, go and wait outside the door!" The two of them had no choice but to retreat outside the door.
The rest of the people turned the two vases, and the map of mountains and rivers slowly rose up, revealing a hidden compartment. He stepped forward to touch the mechanism, opened the hidden compartment, took out one of several books, and handed it to Xue Bing.
"This is a vacancy that has recently been vacated by the imperial court. You can choose whatever you want!" Yu Ren said again, "By the way, last time, the prefect of Bijie you mentioned was killed by bandits recently in his jurisdiction.
It's empty."
Although the two were outside the door, they heard the conversation inside clearly. As Li Cai said, there was another mystery behind this central hall. Next, they had to find a way to get the account books inside to catch them all.
To be continued...
