reborn monarch

Xie Jiuyuan and several fellow officials pleaded guilty, and walked a few steps quickly, ignoring the many eyes and ears here, and caught the younger brother, Xie Guang, who rushed over.

His father left early, and his mother took care of the big and small affairs of the family, and had to deal with the Xie family members with different minds. The brothers were very sensible, and Xie Jiuyuan even took care of the mother's duties. It was Xie Guang who brought him up with one hand. To Xie Guang, Xie Jiuyuan is a real elder brother like a father, and he is more admired than ordinary brothers.

"It's not ashamed to be such an adult." Xie Jiuyuan raised his hand and knocked Xie Guang's head habitually, "Why are you here?"

Xie Guang didn't care, and said with a smile: "I came out with my uncle. On the way, I heard that my elder brother became an imperial envoy. My uncle said, take me to Jinling to see the majesty of my elder brother. By the way, I also have a look at the Jiangnan examination room." occasion."

Feelings in the Jiangnan examination room are just incidental. Xie Jiuyuan was angry and funny, and raised his hand again: "Just follow my uncle's nonsense, and don't learn something good."

Xie Guang has good eyesight. Seeing that the uncle who was left behind by him has squeezed over, he immediately covered his head and complained to the uncle: "Uncle! Big brother said you are out of tune!"

Xie Jiuyuan gave Xie Guang a hard look, and bowed his hands to his uncle Xie Jingqing: "Uncle."

Xie Jingqing is too old to have a family, and is a naughty boy. At this time, he ignored Xie Jiuyuan, joined Xie Guang, and whispered loudly: "Hey, little nephew, I heard that my eldest nephew is behind my back?"

Xie Guang cooperated: "Uncle, that's exactly the case! He still scolded you for being out of tune!"

Xie Jingqing shook his head and sighed, "People's hearts are not old, people's hearts are not old!"

Xie Jiuyuan couldn't hold back his face, and said in a low voice: "It's almost done! You two are still on the stage if you haven't been on the stage?"

Xie Jingqing pouted, "Hey, old-fashioned scholar."

Xie Guang corrected his brother-in-law, "Wrong, he is an old-fashioned Tanhua."

Xie Jiuyuan's head was as big as a bucket, and he threw himself at the pair of uncles and nephews.

In fact, Xie Jiuyuan was to blame for this matter.

Xie Jingqing was their uncle, that is, their father's younger brother. Like Xie Jiuyuan and Xie Guang, he was also a friendly brother. Xie Jingqing was also brought up by their father.

When their father left, the situation of Xie's family was not good. Xie Jingqing couldn't bear his sister-in-law to work hard for the tuition fees needed for her studies. He started to work as a merchant.

The merchants are doing the business of transporting goods from the south to the north, and selling goods from the north to the south.Wandering around is just the most basic toil. There are countless natural and man-made disasters and dangers along the way, and the price of goods is variable. It can be said that you are earning money in blood and sweat.

Most of the merchants in the south of the Yangtze River are engaged in tea, salt and silk business. Apart from these items, other products are also rich. How can anyone go to be a merchant?But the business tax is heavy, and the salt tax is the most important thing. In addition, there are layers of deductions and begging. Ask for it.

Thanks to his skill, Xie Jingqing suffered countless losses, and finally gritted his teeth and made a career. Now he has a lot of industries in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and occasionally goes out to sell tea, that is, to play around under the banner of doing business, so He took Xie Jiuyuan on a tour before, but now he brought Xie Guang with him.

From his heart, Xie Jingqing swore at Xie Jiuyuan's father's grave that he would definitely raise his brother's two sons well.But when he came back from business, he found that Xie Jiuyuan had already surpassed himself in talent and thinking. What's more, even in dealing with people, he was three points more stable and dexterous than him. This Hongyuan was actually in vain.

As soon as Xie Jingqing relaxed, he could no longer stretch his mature and stable skin, and directly restored the character of when his brother was alive, becoming more and more unruly.

In this regard, Xie Jiuyuan's mother, Xie Jingqing's sister-in-law, was very happy to see it at first.This little uncle of hers, when her father-in-law and mother-in-law were alive, was the little son who was pampered by the whole family. As a result, after her husband left, she forcibly shouldered the burden of the family, and there was no longer a half smile on her face.If the spirit of my husband in heaven knew about this, how much would I blame myself?Now that Xie Jingqing can return to her former appearance, she feels a little comforted in her heart.

But gradually, she became more and more sad every year.Manly man, how good is it to treat yourself like a child?He said every year that he didn't have enough fun, and he never went in and out of the Qinlou and Chu Pavilion. He was a big businessman, handsome, with nothing to say about his literary talents. Wife and children?

The more worried the family was, the more Xie Jingqing ran out.This time I took my little nephew out for a trip, and under my impressions, I actually brought the clever and quick-witted little nephew into a little Xie Jingqing.

But in the final analysis, it was Xie Jiuyuan's fault that he was too good. On this point, Xie Jingqing insisted on not letting go. In front of his sister-in-law, he said this with a pat on his chest.

Xie Jiuyuan was a scapegoat, and was tightly restrained by his uncle and younger brother. He stopped talking to them and scolded him a few times. It seemed that he was the elder, and the training made the uncle and nephew hang down. The head was extremely well-behaved, so he led the people to join several officials in charge of the examination, and greeted the prefect of Jinling who came to receive him.

The prefect of Jinling looks like a refined middle-aged scholar named Jia Siyuan.

Prefect Jia was very attentive, followed the carriage, and greeted the two chief examiners, accompanying officials, and Xie Jiuyuan all the way to the well-prepared residence. He didn't bother him too much, and ordered his servants to wait for the adults to rest carefully, greeted them with hot tea and hot meals, and agreed to meet again tomorrow. We had a good reunion, then we bid farewell and left.

Xie Jiuyuan was very impressed with the arrangement of the dormitory. Even the guards in Jia Zhifu had thought carefully about it. Xie Jingqing and Xie Guang, who came with Xie Jiuyuan, also made appropriate arrangements for the time being. It was obvious that they had considered the variable response beforehand.

As expected, the servants sent were also well-behaved and clever, and they took care of everything properly without ordering them at all. In contrast, they were more thoughtful than the little eunuch Bao sent by Emperor Qi Yuan to Xie Jiuyuan.

Apparently, this Prefect Jia is quite authentic in his dealings with officials.

Xie Jiuyuan had a premonition in his heart that this trip to the south of the Yangtze River might have many difficulties, and the appearance of Jia Zhifu made him even more vigilant.

At this time, Xiafu and Eunuch Xiaobao have already retired. Seeing his sad face, Xie Jingqing and Xie Guang were worried because of a series of inexplicable news after he entered Beijing. Xie Guang gave Xie Guang a kick, and Xie Guang asked, "Brother, what's the problem? What are Jinwu Guards and imperial envoys?"

"Eleventh, uncle", Xie Jiuyuan avoided talking about it, and instead asked, "If you want to stay in Jinling this time, you have to promise me that no matter what happens, you will not participate in it. Just go, don't stay in Jinling."

After hearing this, it was impossible for Xie Jingqing and Xie Guang to leave. After repeated questioning, Xie Jiuyuan could only give a rough answer.

"The Holy Majesty is a rare wise king." Xie Jiuyuan spoke firmly, looking at the younger uncle and younger brother with clear and clear eyes, "I am willing to do my best for the Holy Majesty."

Xie Guangben had learned a warm heart from Xie Jiuyuan, and he took it for granted: "Study hard in a cold window, and once you become an official, you should be loyal to the emperor, love the country, and serve the Holy One."

Xie Jingqing narrowed his eyes, and said suspiciously: "I heard that the Holy One is as beautiful as a flower, comparable to a concubine or fairy."

Hearing this, Xie Guang opened his mouth wide, looked at his elder brother blankly, and stammered: "No, no way, elder brother, you can't be so bold as this, you didn't, didn't you...?"

Xie Jiuyuan stood up immediately, and gave the pair of uncles and nephews a hard blow on the forehead.

Caught off guard and being exposed by the truth, Xie Jiuyuan was half angry with embarrassment, and half sweated because of the courage of these two people. Is he so bold?These two people have mouths that didn't even close the door, they dared to pour everything out!

Xie Jiuyuan was so angry that he sat back on his chair, slammed the table, and shouted, "Say! Yes or no!"

The uncle and nephew met each other's eyes, obediently responded, and flattered Xie Jiuyuan one by one, "elder nephew" and "elder brother", very shameless.

Xie Jiuyuan had no choice but to make up his mind that if there was any disturbance, the guards would have to tie the two people up in the room and make them unable to fly, so that nothing bad would happen.

On the second day, the prefect of Jinling came behind Feng Weixiang, the governor of Zhejiang. Feng Weixiang is the governor of Zhejiang. It was Xie Jiuyuan, the imperial envoy (third rank), who all saluted him respectfully.

Feng Weixiang seemed to be easy-going, and greeted: "This time, everyone is working together to monitor the Jiangnan imperial examinations. It is for colleagues, so there is no need to be so polite. Today, I will be replaced by my official Yuezu. Please go to the Qinhuai River to appreciate the literary talents of Jinling Merry."

The Imperial Academy is a poor place, and the bachelors just count on the opportunity to send the chief examiner to live a good life, how can they refuse?At this moment, he forgot how he pretended to be a Qingliu in his daily life, and praised Feng Weixiang as "a man of great elegance", and he had already stepped into the carriage.

Xie Jiuyuan didn't expect the governor of Zhejiang to be so "informal" that he would go on a boat on the Qinhuai River during the day and night, and the officials would crush people to death. What should we do?

No wonder Emperor Qi Yuan smiled so cunningly that day.

That's all, isn't it just letting His Majesty dispose of it.

He couldn't.

At this time, Gu Zhen didn't know that Xie Jiuyuan had boarded the Qinhuai painting boat. He urged Dali Temple to investigate the young people who were thrown out of the Qianxi officialdom in the past few days, and urged to return the [-]% of the crops and silver to the Miao Village, causing trouble. The officials wondered why the Holy Majesty suddenly became interested in the Miao people in a remote place?

Recently, the officialdom has been very turbulent, and a rumor has spread rapidly. It is said that the first emperor's dislike of Emperor Qi Yuan is all fake.The first emperor's favorite woman was Emperor Qiyuan's mother and concubine, so Emperor Qiyuan was also the most important prince of the first emperor.

All the ministers were skeptical, but Wen Jinli sneered at this. It is true that the first emperor could not beg for that woman, but if it is said that the first emperor valued restarting the Yuan emperor, the nine princes who laughed to death would not agree. He is as wild and absurd as the Ninth Prince.

Gu Zhen sat and watched them prying around, and did not end up provoking, but only cared about his own business.

There will be no major problems in Qianxi for the time being, and the purpose of urging Dali Temple to deal with the small tax corruption|corruption case is to delay the outbreak of conflicts and buy more time for himself and Xie Jiuyuan.

Next, what should we do first?

"Your Majesty," the Three Treasures reported outside the door of the imperial study, "Commander Hai is asking to see you."

Have you finally lost your temper?

Emperor Qi Yuan curled his lips into a smile, collected his expression, and said in a deep voice, "Xuan."

It will be updated at [-] o'clock tomorrow morning, try to fix it...
