Chapter 11 Chapter Eleven

The news of Hu Hanxie's disturbance in the Zhongshu Mansion quickly reached Zhaojun's ears, and he couldn't help but turn pale with shock.If this turmoil becomes serious, the Empress Dowager will definitely not be able to hide it, and she will definitely be summoned to question her.What can I say at that time? Therefore, Zhaojun asked Xiuchun to try to get in touch with Zhou Xiang and invite the emperor to come so that he could tell the matter face to face.In fact, the emperor had heard about it, and he was very dissatisfied with Shi Xian, and felt that the matter was very troublesome.But in order to ease Zhaojun's heart, he kept his face on the surface and assured her in a firm tone that Shi Xian would definitely have a proper solution.

And Shi Xianzhi treated the emperor just like the emperor treated Zhaojun, he was anxious in his heart but calm on his face.He admitted that there was such a thing, but it was not a cause for concern, and he had his own way of dealing with it. "How do you cope?" "I firmly insist that the beauty Hu Hanxie saw in Shanglin Garden is indeed Wang Zhaojun, Princess Ninghu. Why can't he say otherwise? He can't produce any evidence." Hearing this, the emperor felt relieved. "However," said the emperor, "although Therefore, since he is dissatisfied, he must come to pester him again. "

"I have my own way to appease you." "This matter is related to the dignity of the imperial court, let alone make a big disturbance, so as not to make the empress dowager angry, you may wish to discuss it with Kuang Heng, Feng Yewang and the others, brainstorm and handle it well." "yes!" Following the emperor's wishes, Shi Xian invited Kuang and Feng to discuss matters in the mansion.In addition, I also made an appointment with Shi Hengzhi, so there is nothing to say. When the guests arrived, the host first talked about the facts, conveyed the emperor's will, and then expressed his own opinion before asking the guests for advice.

"The matter is already like this, so I have no choice but to refuse to admit it as Shi Gong said." Kuang Heng said with a smile: "As long as there is no reason, Hu Hanxie will have to be wronged." "Where's Mr. Feng?" "This matter is related to the prestige of our Great Han Dynasty. If you say that you have deceived Hu Hanxie and the Siyi Fanbang, you will have different ideas, and you will not be careful." "Yes! I have exactly the same thoughts as Mr. Feng. Therefore, I would like to ask you all to take care of your subordinates. The one who lives in Shanglin Garden is Wang Zhaojun, Princess Ninghu! If anyone says, it is not Wang Zhaojun, but for the If others impersonate, they are just making up rumors." Shi Xian said solemnly: "Please correct me strictly, gentlemen."

"Of course. But," Feng Yewang said, "I hope it is Wang Zhaojun who lives up to his name." Shi Xian's heart moved, what he wanted to talk about with Shi Hengzhi was exactly this matter, at this moment Feng Yewang saw exactly the same as himself, it seemed that he might as well talk about it in depth.It's just that Feng Jieyu was caught in the middle, and the emperor didn't have a good impression of King Feng Ye.Think about it or forget it! Send away Kuang and Feng, and leave Shi Hengzhi behind.Shi Xian pretended to be chatting, and said calmly: "The dispute with Hu Hanxie is like a lawsuit. The defendant knows that he is wronged, but since the plaintiff can't provide evidence, he might as well insist on it. I'm afraid that the plaintiff will lose the lawsuit, and he won't accept it in the end. , In the end, it still hurts my face."

"Yes!" Shi Hengzhi said: "In all fairness, this matter has gone too far, and Wang Zhaojun should be married to him." "Everyone has the same opinion, but the emperor refuses to let go. I think, we must draw the bottom of the pot to save it." "Master Xiang." Shi Hengzhi thought for a while and asked, "What do you mean by dredging your salary?" "It's nothing more than Wang Zhaojun's voluntary reconciliation." Shi Hengzhi chewed his words carefully, and thought it was very reasonable, "It's meaningless if someone who can keep her can't keep her heart." He said, "Sure enough, Wang Zhaojun said this, I think, The emperor may be willing to let her go."

"That's exactly what you said." Shi Xian patted him on the shoulder and said, "Hengzhi, I'll leave it to you. You are deep in the inner courtyard of the palace, and you can come and go without hindrance, so I have to ask you to reveal this meaning to Zhaojun. " "As ordered." "Be careful though." "Is Xiangye afraid that Zhaojun will tell the emperor what we persuaded her, and cause trouble?" Shi Hengzhi asked himself and answered, "No! Zhaojun understands the righteousness and the seriousness of the matter. It is very important to speak in front of the emperor. Proper."

"Okay! This matter is done, and the promotion is on me." Because of Shi Xian's promise, Shi Hengzhi was very excited.After careful planning, I went to Zhaojun Palace the next morning to ask for an interview. This was the first time Zhaojun saw Shi Hengzhi after he was named the eldest princess.After all, having spent many days together in Yeting, I felt quite the intimacy of meeting an old friend in a foreign land.Receive and sit down, and ask questions eagerly.After wandering around for a while, Fang began to ask what he wanted. "I have a few words to tell Princess Chen." Shi Heng said while looking at Xiuchun.

This is to ask Xiuchun to avoid, Zhaojun understands.Immediately, he sent Xiuchun away under the pretext of feeding a peng rot, and made Shi Hengzhi open his mouth. "Eldest Princess, Hu Hanxie made a big fuss at the Shizhong Calligrapher, have you heard about it?" "Yeah, I've heard that too." Zhaojun said with concern, "Why did you make such a fuss?" "Speaking of it, it's our fault. Now all civil and military officials are in a difficult situation, and Hu Hanxie has the intention of refusing to let others. If it really comes to this point, the common people will probably suffer from swords and soldiers again!"

"In this case, you should hear about the emperor." "Who dares?" Shi Hengzhi slashed the back of his neck with his hands, "Feng Dahonglu, Shaofu Kuang, almost lost their heads?" "But, everyone just sit idly by?" "Because I can't just sit and watch, so I came into the palace to see the eldest princess." Shi Hengzhi's face was solemn: "I was entrusted by everyone to ask the eldest princess to decide." "I am the master?" Zhaojun asked blankly, "What can I do about the military plan?" "Otherwise!" Shi Hengzhi said in a low and clear voice: "It's all up to the eldest princess to think of it. Eldest princess, you have to tie the bell to untie it!"

"Ah!" Zhaojun suddenly realized, and pondered for a long time, Fang replied in a depressed and resolute voice: "I would like to ask you to tell Lie Gong, and say that Zhaojun promised the country with his body, and his ambition will not change." With this expression, Shi Hengzhi felt relieved, resigned from the palace and immediately reported it to Shi Xian, so Shi Xian posted a post to invite Hu Litu to have a drink.Meeting in plainclothes, family prostitutes drinking wine, and never talking about business, Hu Litu couldn't help it. "Mr. Shi is favored, and he must have some urgent orders." He said, "I've had enough wine, please say something." "Alas!" Shi Xianwei sighed first: "I'm very sad, I did my best for Shan Yu, but I ended up in disgrace, why, why?" This is something to feel guilty about.Hu Litu half apologized, half explained: "Shi Gong, Shan Yu was too reckless when he was in the house that day. Shan Yu has a straight temper, and he is most afraid of people cheating him—" "Uh, uh, brother!" Shi Xian interrupted with a dignified expression, "Why do you say that? Who lied to Shan Yu? Go and find out, who lives in Shanglin Garden, is it not Princess Ninghu?" "Didn't you say it? It's Korean." "Oh! I still need Korean! God knows!" Shi Xian seemed to be in a hurry when he met an unreasonable person.After a pause, he suddenly asked: "Brother, I would like to ask, who is soliciting truth in front of Shan Yu?" Hu Litu smiled and said: "Shi Gong, there is no one." "No! There must be someone. Let me tell you. I asked the Ye Tingling, and there is indeed a Han script in the harem, who is Wang Zhaojun's sworn sister. Now she is still living in Ye Ting, looking forward to the emperor's call every night. Brother, there is such a person in the harem, even I had to ask Ye Ting Ling to find out, if Shan Yu hadn't been told by someone, where would he have known about this person?" This analysis is thorough.Hulitu was at a loss for words. "Is it this person?" Shi Xian dipped in the wine and wrote the word "Mao" on the food table. "You mean Mao Yanshou? No, no!" Hu Litu's words were a little messed up: "Shi Gong, don't ask any more questions. I can't tell you anyway. But there is one thing I have to say, although the one I saw in Shanglinyuan is also a beautiful woman, as in the picture——" Another slip of the tongue! Hu Litu quickly shut up, and the words that came out have already reached the ears of others. At this time, Shi Xian looked very calm, "What picture? The picture presented by Mao Yanshou, isn't it?" He said slowly, "Brother, if you don't think about it, Mao Yanshou can make Wang Zhaojun very ugly. You can paint him extraordinarily beautifully. 'The talent of a villain is enough to cure his evil', this is also the saying." Hu Litu was dubious by what he said, and only stared at Shi Xian, as if he could tell from his face whether his words were true or not? "Brother, I am really angry about this matter. I dare not report it to the emperor. I am afraid that the emperor will find out and get angry, which may hurt the peace between you and our two countries. To be honest, it is us, not Shanyu, who should turn their faces now. I am willing to be wronged because I think of Gan Yanshou and Chen Tang sweeping the desert and helping you Shanyu defeat a strong enemy, this hard work is extraordinary, you should cherish the friendship between our two countries, and don’t hurt your friendship over trivial matters.” "Yes, yes!" Hu Litu was convinced: "The reconciliation between your two countries is the most important thing! I will definitely pass on Shigong's sincerity to Chen Shanyu. " "Okay! I'll prepare an invitation card, please take it back. If Shan Yu doesn't care about this anymore, please come over at noon tomorrow. Otherwise, I won't be able to force it." "Yes, yes! I will definitely persuade Shanyu to accept Shi Gong's kindness." "Please, please." Shi Xian said again: "General Hu, what you and I are talking about is a major issue between the two countries. Don't let idlers hear about it." Hu Litu knew in his heart that this was alluding to Mao Yanshou.Immediately and sincerely complied.Then gossip and say goodbye drunkenly. Shi Xian has his plan.First, there must be no disharmony.Second, Mao Yanshou must be arrested and brought back.Now it has been confirmed that Mao Yanshou is living in hiding in the hotel. It is expected that he will not dare to go one step further, so he might as well deal with it calmly. Anyway, as long as Hu Hanxie is perfunctory, the prisoner will definitely be captured. As for Princess Ninghu? Whether it is the real Zhaojun or the fake Zhaojun depends on the situation.It is of course best if it is Zhen Zhaojun, otherwise we have to play it by ear.Reservations are not available at this time. Plan well, and don't want Shi Gandang to worry about doing it—he has been monitoring the hotel, just because Hu Hanxie is there, and he doesn't dare to trespass.At noon that day, Hu Hanxie brought Hu Litu Prime Minister's Mansion to a banquet. It was an excellent opportunity. Shi Gandang and Tian Yue disguised themselves as plasterers and carpenters, and a total of five people went there. As soon as they arrived at the living room, they found evidence. There was an unfinished portrait of Hu Hanxie, which was of course Mao Yanshou's handwriting.So he searched extensively and caught Mao Yanshou in the hut. "Uncle Shi, Uncle Shi! Our old friendship..." "Who is old friends with you?" Shi Gandang shouted: "You nonsense!" "Yes, yes, I dare not climb high. Uncle Shi, you are always the most loyal." "What loyalty! You are a wolf-hearted thing, and you deserve to talk about loyalty?" "Yes!" Mao Yanshou stretched out his hand, slapped himself on the mouth left and right, slapped him once, and cursed: "I am disloyal, unfilial, unkind, unrighteous, I should be spanked!" He took out a pair of earrings: "Here, here, Uncle Shi, this, my respect." "Look," Shi Gandang said to Tian Yue, "You kid, you still dare to ridicule me at this time, laughing at me as a bitch." Mao Yanshou himself found out, and hurriedly covered it up in panic: "No, no, this is to honor Grandma Shi." He fumbled around again: "I still have it, I still have it! Just please spare my dog's life." "Talk to Master Xiang! If he is willing to spare you, you will die." Shi Gandang ordered From the person: "Put away his earrings. There is evidence for bribery, and the crime is aggravated." So Mao Yanshou was taken away halfway and halfway, and temporarily sent to Jingzhao Yamen for custody.In the evening, when Hu Hanxie went back to the hotel to have a look, he was furious, and immediately wanted to ask the teacher who committed the crime. "I'm so pissed off!" Hu Hanxie gasped for breath, beat his chest vigorously and said, "I've never been so angry before, I have to find someone surnamed Shi to settle my score!" Hu Litu was still explaining, but Shi Xian rushed over.He had already received the report and knew that this matter was a big mistake, so he scolded Shi Gandang severely, and then came to take care of it.Of course, he can't just apologize.To take care of your own identity, you have to play by ear. "Chan Yu," Shi Xian pretended not to know, "seems to be angry?" Hu Hanxie's anger suddenly exploded, "You are still pretending to be confused!" He jumped up and shouted: "Your surname is Shi, thanks to you being the prime minister, you are doing such indecent things. You have deceived me and Hu Litu Went to drink, sent someone to pretend to be a craftsman, broke in and searched everywhere. Who do you take me for?" Shi Xian knew that he had a hot temper, so it didn't matter once he let it out.So he replied very calmly: "My subordinate is Tai Luqi. But it's a last resort. I heard that Mao Yanshou escaped here. The matter is urgent, and I didn't have time to notify Shanyu." "What? Didn't you have time to inform me? The leader is that boy from your family. I even saw him when I went. He disappeared in a blink of an eye. He came here in disguise to show off. Didn't he mean to make things difficult for me?" "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, Shan Yu, don't be angry, I will compensate for the damaged things." "I can't hold my breath! My portrait is torn in half!" "This," Shi Xian also said with a disapproving air, "I can't help it if it's changed. I'll go back and check.Whoever caused the trouble, I will deal with him severely! " Hearing this, Hu Hanxie calmed down a little, and his manner of speaking became more gentle, purely in a reasonable tone: "Besides, Mao Yanshou offended you, but he didn't offend me. He came to me just to My guest, if you send someone to arrest my guest, isn’t it the same as arresting me?” "Chan Yu," Shi Xian said calmly, "You can't make sense of that!" One sentence aroused the anger that Hu Hanxie had just subdued, and asked furiously, "What? Am I being unreasonable?" "Chan Yu, Shan Yu," Hu Litu hastily stopped him, "Listen to Shi Zhongshu first." "Fuck you!" Hu Hanxie swung his arm, "It's you who fell for this big trick!" "Chan Yu, Mao Yanshou is an imperial criminal, you shouldn't take him in." "Ah!" Hu Hanxie pointed at Shi Xian's nose and asked, "Have you informed me that he committed a crime and cannot take him in? Besides, you can ask me for someone! Last time, you asked me for someone, and I Didn't you give it?" "But he escaped." "Did I let him escape? Your own prisoner, if you can't catch yourself, how can you blame me?" Shi Xian was at a loss for words.I couldn't help feeling remorse in my heart, I underestimated Hu Hanxie, I just thought he was an idiot who could be manipulated in the palm of my hand.Unexpectedly, the words are so sharp, and the question is so inconceivable that no one will believe it. Hu Hanxie, however, became more and more angry with his words, and made embarrassing words of reproach, "It is said that China is a country of propriety and righteousness. If you treat me like this, where is the propriety and where is the righteousness?" He also talked about marriage: "Several times of cheating, there is no sincerity at all. Forget it, what I said at your house today is not counted! If you want to get married, give me Zhen Zhaojun. No, this paragraph is blown. Holly picture!" "exist." "Pack up your luggage, let's leave tomorrow, no one will be kept here, there is a place to keep people. Let's wait and see! "After finishing speaking, he walked in angrily. Now, Shi Xian was really anxious.Originally drinking and chatting happily, the previous suspicions were resolved, no matter whether Zhaojun is true or not, Hu Hanxie is willing to be the son-in-law of the Han family.Originally, it was a grievance for him, but Shi Gandang caused such a disaster that it was out of control.Thinking of this, Shi Xian couldn't help cursing: "Shi Gandang is a bastard, I must skin him!" "Ah!" Hu Litu also lamented: "It's a failure!" "No!" Shi Xian refused to admit defeat: "General Hu, this is the end of the matter, everything is up to me. Please declare two points to Shan Yu: first, I sincerely apologize; second, the marriage marriage remains unchanged as planned. " Hu Litu looked distressed, "I'm afraid it will be difficult!" He said, "Now Shan Yubi thinks of the beauty in Shanglin Garden again. It is Sai Zhaojun, not Zhen Zhaojun." "True, true!" Shi Xian emphasized his tone: "If it's fake, it's guaranteed!" Hu Litu nodded, pondered for a while, and then said: "There is one more thing. Shanyu is very serious about you sending people to arrest Mao Yanshou. Shi Gong, you know, we Hu people are watching and helping each other in the desert. The most important thing is loyalty. No matter who escapes to your tent, as long as you stay behind, you should protect this person just like protecting your own life. So..." Although he didn't say it, Shi Xian could imagine it.But it's better to ask clearly: "So how? Please continue." "If Mao Yanshou is killed, it will be very difficult to undo the matter." Here's another piece of the puzzle.Shi Xian thought to himself, if it is stated clearly at this time that Mao Yanshou will die without pardon, the situation will immediately break down. So he nodded and replied vaguely, "I know."
