Chapter Twenty-Three: The Chu Clan


The weather in the afternoon is a little muggy, but fortunately, there is an ancient well in the northwest corner of the east courtyard of Xu Yuan, which is quite cool with a breeze.Xu Yuan sent the rest of the people to leave Hongrui alone to wait for the lunch break, and now he is reclining on the bed listlessly listening to Hongrui talk about the life experience of Lin Yaxuan, who has been revealed.Lin Yaxuan is not surnamed Lin, Lin Kai is really Chu.The Chu family was originally a nobleman in the pre-emperor period and an important minister in the court; Chu Xuan's father, Chu Changxian, and the current emperor were both taught by Fu University scholars in Fu San Province, and the two are also suitable for the same family.After the death of Emperor Xian and the ascension of Chongming to the throne of the Pingchang Emperor, the Chu family not only did not show decline, but became more favored and powerful, and Chu Changxian also became a member of the first rank in the court."

This old folk saying is good: people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants!

It stands to reason that the Chu family has the trust and reuse of the emperor, even if they can't serve the people and the country, they must not ......

"Lin Yaxuan is looking for a buyer, this person who is not rich or noble on the streets of the capital, why didn't he bump into her Xu Yuan sooner or later?"

Behind this, what is hidden, is it so simple as being incognito."

What did Chu Changxian do?""

He is not willing to be a minister!"

Xu Yuan's chaotic eyes suddenly brightened, and all his sleepiness was driven away by astonishment.Unwilling to be a subordinate!

There are only four words, but it is enough to disturb the world in this peaceful and prosperous world, and stir up this quiet mountain and river into a landslide and tsunami.But today, the mountains and rivers are still the same, the prosperity is as usual, and the wolf ambition of the Chu clan has not succeeded.Chu Changxian followed the emperor all day long, he watched others bow down to Chao Chongming and kowtow to ask for favor, and watched the beauties in the world enter the palace one by one......

Yes, he is a first-class master, one person is above ten thousand people, but why should he be inferior to Chongming?

In terms of wisdom, knowledge, and knowledge, Chao Chongming is only inseparable from him, and even for his knowledge, he has been personally rewarded by scholars.However, Chu Changxian wanted to kneel at the feet of Chao Chongming, bow down to him, and obey him.With him in Chongming, Chu Changxian can't act recklessly, and he doesn't dare to act recklessly.The lord of the world, what Chao Chongming did, why should he Chu Changxian?

Once the seeds of some desires are planted, even if they cannot grow quickly due to the constraints of the conditions, they are enough to take root and sprout in the corners where no one knows and no one notices, under the nourishment and watering of the accumulated unwillingness to fall behind and jealousy.In the eighth year of Pyeongchang, Beiqiang and Xianqi Dynasty Yue fought in Hanbei Pass, and the army was defeated to sue for peace, and the person who Dayu went to receive was Chu Changxian.All the peace intentions have been drawn up, just wait for the envoy to return to the country to present to the king of Beiqiang, and the king of Beiqiang will sign it, everything will be settled, and the northern Xinjiang will also usher in relative stability.After the Beiqiang envoy returned to China, I don't know what kind of negotiation was carried out with the king of Beiqiang, the king of Beiqiang took the initiative to withdraw his troops for twenty miles and did not move, but he never sent an envoy to Dayu, and the court of Dayu was only a suitable candidate for Beiqiang to have no identity and prestige.Chaoyue has repeatedly sent people back to Beijing to admonish: Beiqiang has nothing to do, and he is afraid of discussion and change, so please make arrangements as soon as possible.Chao Chongming was very confident in King Qi's ability to unify the army, so he was not in a hurry, and only said that "with King Qi here, Beiqiang is not to be afraid."

In the winter of the eighth year of Pyeongchang, heavy snow came earlier and more urgently than in previous years, and Hanbei Pass was covered with heavy snow overnight.Dayu is located in the south of Beiqiang, and the temperature is suitable, so Dayu's resistance to cold is far from being comparable to that of Beiqiang.Late one night, Beiqiang suddenly sent troops south without warning, and caught the sleeping Dayu soldiers off guard......

The result of this battle was a fierce battle for January, the first king and the army of the king of Qi were all killed, the corpses were tired on the Hanbei Pass, and the blood could not melt into the ice, but spread along the ice, dyeing the snow and the world with blood and boundless."

What does this have to do with the Chu Clan?"

Not only Xu Yuan, but everyone will wonder when they hear this: These have nothing to do with the Chu family?

The Chu clan is in the court, and the soldiers are in the opposition, and there seems to be nothing to do with it?

Hongrui looked at Xu Yuan: I haven't finished yet?

Xu Yuan pursed his lips: "Yes, go on, go on......

"On the winter solstice of the eighth year of Pyeongchang, the imperial court was closed, and it was rumored that there were bandits in the western suburbs, and the emperor specifically pointed out that Xu Zhi went to the secret visit in private clothes.Xu Zhi returned to the night wearing the stars and the moon, and on the way back to his home, he accidentally saw the Beiqiang envoy enter Chu Changxian's mansion.Because Chu Changxian was receiving the northern envoys, Xu Zhi didn't think much about it for a while, and it wasn't until the battle report was transmitted back to the capital that Xu Zhi was shocked that something was wrong.At that time, not long after the war began, Xu Zhi had no evidence in his hand, so he didn't dare to play at will, for fear of being bitten by ginseng, so he had to pay close attention to it secretly.At the end of the winter and the beginning of the eighth year of Pyeongchang, after more than half a month of tracking and spying, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and finally let Xu Zhi intercept a letter between Chu Changxian and Beiqiang.Based on this letter, the emperor ordered Xu Zhi to lead the three divisions to investigate the case together.In the same month, all the witnesses and exhibits of the Chu family and the Beiqiang secret passage were collected and submitted to the heavenly hall, and all of Chu Changxian were imprisoned and beheaded, and the side branch surnamed Chu was expelled from the capital and was never allowed to enter the office.Xu Yuan sighed, and couldn't help asking: "Since all of them have been convicted, why did this Chu Xuan pick up his life again?"

”Hongrui held the fan: "Miss listen to me......"

After the Chu incident, no one in the Manchu Dynasty visited and no one pleaded for mercy, although the Chu family is usually domineering, but more, it is a cold heart.Only Fu Daxue went to the "Prayer Table", angrily counted Chu Changxian's crimes, and blamed himself for his own teacher, every word and sentence was all emotional.The main purpose of the table explains the sins of the superiors, and those who are not the daughters can know that the emperor's sacred heart is benevolent, and it is at the end of the year, and it is inevitable that it will be unlucky to move the prison, and I pray for the emperor's forgiveness for the more than the servants who are not involved in the case.In order to show his saintliness and show his respect, the emperor pardoned the subordinates of the Chu Mansion and drove them to the north to serve hard labor, but none of the Chu daughters were exempted.Mrs.

Chu thought about it, and took a grandmother who was very lenient on weekdays, and took Chu Xuan, who was not yet a full moon, away......

"Miss, I'm afraid Chu Xuan won't be able to stay in the mansion?"

”Now that you know her identity, if you kick her out for no reason, it will inevitably make others gossip, and you don't know what she will do outside, so you might as well keep her by your side, under your own nose, but more controllable."

Leave her!

Be alert on weekdays.As for the West Courtyard......

There will also be people who will be alerted. ”Now that Lin Yaxuan's identity is understood, he knows that the "daughter of the rebel minister" in the mouth of Ming Chen that day is her.Xu Yuan played with the fan that Hongrui was holding, and a light smile hung on the corner of his mouth: These two people are tightly matched."

By the way, since the master has closed such a big case, why is he now receiving a fictitious position in name only?""

The slave doesn't know.Originally, the emperor was the master of the Ministry of Rites, and he was compared to each other later, but the old man resigned because his wife was pregnant.Later, when the young lady was born, the master was only teaching in Taixue, although he left his name, he rarely took care of things. ”Isn't the traditional scholar for the sake of being an official and a minister, helping the world, and helping the common people?

What did Old Man Xu go through that made him so disdainful of official careers?

Xu Yuan's mind was full of questions for a while.
