Poor Family

The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the fifth year of Jiankang was very lively. In addition to publicly praising the newly recruited Jinshi, the emperor also rewarded Ye Mo, the commander of the special supervision department, and Song Jiusi, the southern arrester, for successfully eradicating a group of remnants of the regent king.

Remnants of the Regent.

The emperor said these words with a smile, but all the officials present were tense.

The case of the Prince Regent back then was heard even by officials who had just entered the court, and the involvement was too extensive, so countless royal family members and high-ranking officials were exiled from their homes.

"I didn't even know there were so many Yan Party hidden in the capital."

The regent, Chu Yan, and the forces behind it, all civil and military officials call him the Yan Party.

Speaking of the Yan Party, when Emperor Jianxing came to the throne at a young age, the regent held great power, and almost all the situation in the court was controlled by them, and it was very prestigious for a while.

Later, the regent was executed, and the Yan Party dispersed. I thought it was wiped out, but I never thought that it would appear again after many years.

"Yesterday's riot at Yongdingmen was obviously an organized and premeditated activity, a provocation and ignorance of me. Did the Yan Party predict that I wouldn't be able to find them?"

The emperor had a smile on his face, but his eyes were so cold that none of the officials present dared to look at him.

"Ye Qing, I give you the power of life and death, and you are fully responsible for arresting the Yan Party. As long as you are sure that it is the Yan Party, you don't need to report it, and you will be executed directly on the spot."

The emperor looked at Ye Mo with a smile.

Ye Mo got up and knelt down: "I accept the order."

The emperor nodded in satisfaction: "I really believe in Ye Qing's ability."

The dialogue between the monarch and his ministers lifted the hearts of the officials present, especially those with a guilty conscience.

The emperor gave Ye Mosheng the power to kill, so wouldn't he be able to kill whoever he wanted?

Thinking of the scene of Ye Mo bloodbathing the capital at the beginning of the emperor's ascension to the throne, many people were terrified.

Below the banquet, Shi Dingxuan looked down at the delicacies on the table, with deep worry in his eyes.

Did the emperor give Master Ye too much power?

I always feel that this is not a good thing for Master Ye.

At the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, everyone's eyes should have been focused on this year's Wu Jinshi, but the Yan Party appeared again, disturbing everyone's mood, and everyone had no time to take care of them.

Shi Dingxuan returned to the uncle's mansion with a solemn expression, and was called to Yixiang Hall as soon as he came back.

Even though it was late, everyone was there, waiting for Shi Dingxuan to come back and talk about the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

Shi Dingxuan talked about what happened at the palace banquet without any emotion.

Wuchang uncle's mansion, being implicated in the Prince Regent's case and deeply victimized by it, was worried when they heard that the Yan Party had appeared again.

"The regent has been dead for so many years, can't he calm down? Now they are making trouble, what are they thinking?" Shi Zhengye was very annoyed.

In the side hall, seeing Elder Shi's gaffe, Shi Dinghao murmured, "Anyway, we are not a Yan Party, so if they want to make trouble, they will make trouble, and it has nothing to do with us."

Uncle Shi glanced at him: "Ninth brother, you don't understand, people in the capital, sometimes even if you don't do anything, you may be guilty."

"Not all of the families who were ransacked and exiled back then really had contacts with the Prince Regent, but their families were still ruined."

"The matter of arresting the Yan Party, the emperor has entrusted the murderous Special Investigation Department to handle it. Just watch, the capital is about to blow up another bloody storm."

Shi Dinghao glanced at Shi Fuxin and Shi Fuyin who were bowing their heads in silence, and said suspiciously: "Brother, it's not so serious, I don't believe that the Special Investigation Division can still kill people randomly?"

Uncle Shi pursed his lips and said nothing.

But Shi Dingxu said in a low voice: "Ninth brother, when the emperor came to the throne, you hadn't returned to Beijing, and you didn't see the scene of blood flowing in the place where the special inspectors passed by. They would really kill indiscriminately."

Shi Fuxin suddenly asked: "Brother, do you know the Southern arrest Song Jiusi whom the emperor rewarded?"

Although Uncle Shi's aptitude is not good, but after all he was brought up under the orthodox teaching of the Bo's Mansion, and he still knows a lot about the affairs of the court, so he immediately replied:

"Great Chu martial arts prevails, there are many sects in Jianghu, and chivalrous martial arts are banned. It is impossible for the imperial court to have no restraint on them, so they set up the four chief arresters from east, west, north, south."

"Southern arrester Song Jiusi is the head arrester who is in charge of the Jianghu faction in the south. As long as there are Jianghu people who violate the court's laws, they will all be arrested by him."

Shi Fuxin nodded and said, "So that's the case."

According to this, the one-armed man yesterday was the supreme grandmaster in the south, Fang Wuchen, the supreme Nanquan in the south.

No wonder Chu Yao was powerless to fight with one punch.

Shi Fuxin thought for a while and then asked: "Some sects have top masters in command, can the chief arrester of Sifang control them?"

Uncle Shi: "Of course, Grandmaster Jue Dian is not alone. They also have family and friends. If they really offend the imperial court, their nine clans will be implicated. Anyway, I haven't heard of it yet. Is there any Jue Dian who really dares to confront the imperial court?" match."

Shi Fuxin said in her heart, already had it, that Southern Fist would match the imperial court.

Uncle Shi said again: "The chief arresters of the Quartet are still very powerful. They will secretly recruit martial arts masters, train dead soldiers, investigate intelligence everywhere, and instigate people from various sects. They have all the information of various forces in their hands. Anyone who wants to Those sects that want to live in peace don’t want to provoke them.”

Shi Fuxin nodded again. When Chu Yao couldn't hold on yesterday, if Song Jiusi hadn't arrived in time with someone, it was really uncertain whether the straw hat old man would have been taken out of the city.

This also shows from the side that their intelligence is indeed very good, otherwise they would not have rushed over as soon as Nanquan appeared in the capital.

These people are all genuine.

As she got to know more, Shi Fuxin realized more and more that compared with these people, she was really not good enough.

She is only strong on one person, but he has a big family and a great career. If she really wants to have an intersection with them one day, she may not be able to fight against him.

There are still too few chips!

Shi Fuxin tapped her chin on the table, how can she increase the chips in her hand?

Sure enough, time is the fairest thing in this world, no matter how strong she is, she can't compare to the accumulation of generations.

When the Yan Party was mentioned again, everyone in the Shi family was a little apprehensive, afraid of being involved, but there was nothing they could do about it, they could only strictly restrain the family members and not cause trouble outside.

Fortunately, after waiting for a few days, the capital was still calm, and the Special Investigation Division did not arrest people on a large scale, so the Shi family was slightly relieved.

Shi Fuyin, Shi Fuxin, and Shi Dinghao went out to school as usual, and Shi Dingxuan also went to the palace as a servant.

Grandpa Shi and Mrs. Shi were both happy and worried about their grandson entering the palace as a fourth-rank imperial guard.

There is no way, the second son's family has lived in the border since childhood, and they don't have a deep understanding of the personnel affairs in Beijing, and there are many deficiencies in how to behave.

Although the imperial palace is the most centralized place, it is also the most dangerous place, and a little carelessness may lead to fatal disasters.

Therefore, Mrs. Shi has shown unprecedented importance to Shi Dingxuan, and will wait for him to go to work every day and talk to him before going to bed.

"Goro, you're working in the palace these days, are you getting along well with your colleagues?"

"Grandfather, everything is fine with me. Brother Zhao is now the commander of the guards. He takes good care of me. Don't worry."

The grandson's friendship with Mr. Zhao really reassured Mr. Shi a lot, but he didn't forget to tell him from time to time: "Wulang, you have to remember that as the imperial guard closest to the emperor, you must not only be strong enough, but also be strong enough." loyal."

"Loyalty is always what the emperor values ​​most."

"Working in the palace, every day is full of power confrontation and secrets of the palace. You have to learn to be a mute, and you must be careful about what to say and what not to say."

"Many things in the palace are inextricably linked to the outside world. As long as it is not something that endangers the life and safety of the emperor, you have to learn to pretend not to see it. There are some things that the guards should not care about."

"You still need to establish a good relationship with other guards. Don't think that if you have a good relationship with Mr. Zhao, you will be independent. This will attract hatred."

"Don't underestimate the eunuchs and maids in the palace. Although they are lowly, sometimes they can make people stumble."

The old lady Shi spoke carefully, then took out a slapped magnet gourd from the drawer, and handed it to Shi Dingxuan.

Shi Dingxuan was puzzled: "This is grandfather?"

Old Master Shi: "Officials face to face, is it possible that you can still search one by one? If they have sharp knives on them, with this, you can find out the abnormality in time."

"However, you can't rely too much on this. If the distance is too far, it will have no effect. The most reliable way is to practice a pair of sharp eyes. Whenever someone with evil intentions approaches, you can spot it at a glance."

Shi Dingxuan knew that Mrs. Shi was reminding himself, and also knew that he was lacking in many aspects, so he listened carefully every time.

With more exchanges, the relationship between the grandfather and grandson has become more and more harmonious.

Shi Zheng and his family were also paying attention to Shi Dingxuan's condition, worried that he would not be suitable for working in the palace.

However, when the old man mentioned something sometimes, Dingxuan's brows would be relaxed every time he came back from a business trip, and the family was relieved.

Shi Dingxuan was on the right track with his errands, and Shi Fuxin also had the energy to focus on other things. On the night of August 22, he quietly went to Saihua Tuoju.

"Oh~"

After Shi Fuxin read the symptom description left by the doctor, she suddenly chuckled.

Visceral damage, bone fracture.

If she hadn't been there during the battle at You'anmen, she might not have guessed who it was, but she had seen Chu Yao being sent flying by the Nanquan with her own eyes, so she would have guessed who the doctor was seeking right away.

"It's still alive, life is big enough."

Shi Fuxin looked at the register and fell into deep thought.

Chu Yaoke is different from other medical seekers. This guy is a member of the Special Supervisory Department. He is very sensitive. Once any clues are revealed, her vest may be lost.

But if he doesn't answer, will he bear a grudge against Hua Tuoju?

Don't forget, up to now, Sai Huatuo is still watched by people from the special supervision department.

If she really had to send a large number of people from the special supervision department to monitor, she wouldn't even think about it.

"That guy is so arrogant, he actually talked to a wandering doctor. It seems that his health is very bad!"

The special supervision department monitors the entire capital, so that Sai Huatuo can continue to open the door in the future, Shi Fuxin still chooses to accept Chu Yao's medical treatment.

After writing down the address left by Chu Yao, Shi Fuxin went back to the uncle's residence and prepared to go.

Four Seas Casino.

Because the injury was too serious this time, and the internal force rioted from time to time, Chu Yao is still lying on the bed unable to move.

People like to think too much when they have nothing to do, and Chu Yao is no exception.

When Meng Moling came to see him, Chu Yao took the initiative to ask Rong Wang's Mansion for the first time: "I didn't go back for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Is there any movement in the Heavenly King's Mansion these days?"

Meng Moling was a little stuck and didn't know how to answer.

Chu Yao glanced at him: "Why are you still hesitating? I know better than you what the people in the palace are like. No matter what they do, I'm not surprised."

Hearing what he said, Meng Moling didn't hide it anymore: "Your second sister-in-law gave birth to a daughter for your second brother on the Mid-Autumn Festival. The prince was very happy and held a grand banquet in the mansion for three days."

Chu Yao thought that he was lying alone on the bed these days, but the palace was full of joy and excitement, so he closed his eyes silently.

After a while, Chu Yao opened his eyes and sneered: "Second brother finally has his own heir. Although it is a daughter, at least it proves that he can give birth. I am afraid that the eldest brother will be unhappy."

Meng Moling agreed with a full face: "Isn't it? Although I didn't go, I heard from people who have been there that your eldest brother has never appeared before. The prince is very unhappy about this."

The sneer on Chu Yao's face was even worse: "Brother is protected by his grandparents, even if the father is dissatisfied, he will at most say a few words behind his back."

"Where is my mother and concubine? If I didn't show up, my father will definitely think that I have disrespected him and my second brother. He didn't take his anger on my concubine, right?"

Meng Moling didn't know how to answer.

The situation in Prince Rong's Mansion is really complicated. Speaking of it, the families of the royal family are all complicated, with many people and many right and wrong, but no matter how complicated it is, it is not as complicated as Brother Yao's family.

King Rongjun married three concubines successively, and the first one was the niece of the mother's family who was valued by the old Princess Rong. Unfortunately, after giving birth to a son and a daughter for King Rongjun, she passed away.

Because the child of her natal niece is also the eldest grandson and granddaughter, the old concubine has more preferences, and the more times she contacts, the old prince also loves the two of them more.

The second girl that King Rongjun married was the girl he liked. Although her family background was not very good, she was on the top of her heart, and she loved her children even more.

It may be that the feng shui of the palace is not good, and the second term also died soon.

In order to prevent King Rong from becoming a widower, the old Princess Rong forced King Rong, who did not want to marry again, to marry his third wife, Brother Yao's mother and concubine.

Of the three wives, the first one was valued by the old prince and the old concubine, and the second one was valued by the king of Rongjun.

In addition, brother Yao's maternal ancestral family is not very prominent, so in Rongwang Mansion, brother Yao's mother and son are in an embarrassing situation.

What's more, whether it is Chu Xuan or Chu Zhao, they are both good at acting, and they will fight to the death in other matters, but when it comes to dealing with Brother Yao, the two are united like never before.

Brother Yao was already younger than the two of them, so when faced with the combination of the two, where was their opponent?

It was only a few years ago that Brother Yao slowly became supportive.

Unfortunately, the price is also very high.

Meng Moling wanted to comfort Chu Yao, but he closed his eyes and seemed to be asleep. After standing for a while, he went out to work.

Hearing him go out, Chu Yao's eyelashes trembled, but he didn't open his eyes, so he didn't see a puff of smoke coming in from the window.

By the time he realized something was wrong, he couldn't lift his eyelids anymore.

"Tsk, this body is broken into such a body, and it is still alive. Life is really big enough."

Shi Fuxin entered the room silently, scanned Chu Yao's body with mental strength, then shook her head.
