Taiping Inn

After confirming it carefully again, Mu Qingci nodded to Shangguan Wan.

Shangguan Wan took out the paper and pen from the Sumeru treasure, recorded it in detail, divided it into three parts, and handed it to Li Xuandu one. After Li Xuandu confirmed it, all parties signed and stamped it and kept one for themselves. Submit a copy of the accounting room.

This is a new regulation added after Li Xuandu reorganized the inn. Try to keep some necessary records in archives for future inquiries, and avoid the departments shirking responsibility and arguing with each other in the future. The archives are specifically responsible for Li Rushi of the accounting room, which is also one of the reasons why Li Xuandu handed over the financial power to Mrs. Lu.

At the same time, Princess Xuanzhen, who was standing outside the door, was ready to arrange for someone to handle the funeral.

As the leader of the Later Party, King Jin could not keep himself alone in the after party's overthrow, and he was different from the Queen Mother. Strictly speaking, the Empress Dowager is the Supreme Empress, and he is usually a monarch, while the king is a minister, which is a difference between the king and the minister. According to the Confucian rule, there are all kings and fathers in the world. The king cannot be judged by the crime, and the ministers can be judged by the crime. Therefore, the King of Jin was able to submit the three courts to convict and even the right to punish the crime.

Under such circumstances, King Jin was destined to be unable to escape death. Li Xuandu Gu remembered that he was not the culprit back then, and his evil deeds have not been revealed over the years. He agreed to the Confucian Party's proposal to give the King of Jin a decent attitude. So from the third day of the twelfth lunar month to the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, seven days were left for him. To put it bluntly, I hope that the King of Jin would stop himself within these seven days and could still leave his last dignity.

However, the King of Jin was not sure about this decency, so Shangguan Wan came to help him with decency.

In a short while, news will be heard that King Jin committed suicide due to his crime. The three courts will also formally discuss the crime and make the final decision.

As for the Empress Dowager Xie Zhi, because the Taoist sect and the Confucian sect had different opinions, Xie Zhi had actually been detained by the Taoist sect, but the Confucian sect claimed that the Empress Dowager was sick and had to rest and did not see any foreign guests.

Shangguan Wan put away the paper and pen and said, "After handling the King of Jin, the next one is King Xu Zaixu of Tang."

Princess Xuanzhen nodded slightly and said, "Come with me."

The three of them left the yard and came to the next yard, where the King of Tang was imprisoned.

At this time, the Tang King Xu Zaixun was curled up on the kang, covered with a cloak, and his body was also unkempt and was no longer as stylish as before.

Seeing the three of them coming in, Xu Zaixu, who was sleeping, was frightened and suddenly retreated to the corner of the wall, full of horror.

Shangguan Wan sighed: "These high-ranking masters fell into the dust, and they were so unbearable."

Princess Xuanzhen whispered: “It varies from person to person.”

Shangguan Wan said seriously: "Xu Zaixu, the King of Jin has committed suicide because of his crime."

Xu Zaixu trembled suddenly: "Are you coming to kill me?"

Shangguan Wan smiled and said, "What do you think?"

"I, I am also a meritorious person. I came forward to take down the military and horse yamen in the five cities and could not kill me." Xu Zaixu no longer hurried in the corner and suddenly threw himself on the kang, "I am also a meritorious person. , can't kill me, can't kill me."

Shangguan Wan set up a ban to isolate the sound and looked at Mu Qingci beside her: "Is this the man you like?"

Mu Qingci smiled slightly: "Mr. Qingping is excellent, Feiyuan Zhenren is also excellent, Mr. Ning and the Great Heavenly Master are excellent, the only bad thing is that they stand too high, we little people are not

If you dare to ask for extravagance, you can only marry a chicken and follow the chicken and follow the dog. ”

Shangguan Wan said with a sigh: "Sister Murong, you are all good friends, often sleeping with a clumsy man."

"High horses often carry foolish men, and good wives often sleep with crooked men. There are so many unfair things in the world, don't be like heaven." Mu Qingci asked back, "What about Miss Shangguan? You almost married Zhao Bingyu back then or not?" Zhao Chunxiao, if you marry one of them, others will say that you are a good wife and often sleep with a humble man.”

Shangguan Guan shook his head and said, "It's different. Actually, I'm not much better than Zhao Chunxiao, but I'm just better luck. Looking back on the past, my master is still a wise man, and he can tell at a glance that Mr. Qingping is a man who has accomplished great things. Therefore, I just wanted to betroth me to Mr. Qingping, it was ridiculous that I refused to obey at the beginning and resisted in every possible way."

Mrs. Leng and the Earth Master are husband and wife, so Yin and Yang Sect have many contacts. Shangguan Wan and Mu Qingci have known each other for a long time. At this time, they didn't have much restraint. Mu Qingci joked: "Does the girl regret it now? All green?”

"I dare not talk nonsense." Shangguan Wan gave her a blank look, "If Miss Qin hears it, be careful not to get rid of it."

Princess Xuanzhen was in a low mood, but when she heard the conversation between the two, she was aroused by a little curiosity and asked, "I have met Miss Qin several times, she is a very lady of a noble family, and she is kind to others, for He is generous and doesn't look like a stingy person. Could it be that Miss Qin has a different opinion and is unwilling tolerant?"

Shangguan Wan smiled and said, "This Miss Qin is willing to follow Mr. Qingping in everything. She is indeed kind and gentle, gentle and gentle on weekdays without any resentment. But in this kind of thing, it's not. It is certain that there is a slight concession. There are rumors that Miss Qin once said that if Mr. Qingping dared to let her down, no matter whether she is a match for Mr. Qingping or not, she would have to let Mr. Qingping see whether the blade in her hand was sharp or not. So even I dared to marry me by obeying my teacher's orders, but Mr. Qingping might not dare to marry me.”

Mu Qingci added: "I heard that it is not only Mr. Qingping, but also "Tiandao" who wants to re-string, and they have to ask Miss Qin first. With Miss Qin's consent, it can be seen that Master Bai wants to be Miss Qin. It’s not that easy for a stepmother. At that time, it’s not the daughter who looks at the stepmother’s face, but the stepmother who looks at the daughter’s face.”

This was the first time Princess Xuanzhen heard about this, and she laughed silently and said, "Who would have thought that the two father-in-law and son-in-law who were so powerful around the world would look at Miss Qin's face in such a thing."

Shangguan Guan sighed, "So Miss Qin is the best person in the world. I'm afraid we don't have such a blessing."

All three women were silent.

After a moment of silence, Shangguan Wan put away the ban to isolate the voice and said to Xu Zaixu: "To be honest, many Qingliu officials and imperialists in the court all hope that you will die because you blocked the Nine Gate and scared them. So you must die, and you must serve as a warning. It’s just that you block the nine gates because of our instruction. If we abandon you, we will be suspected of destroying the bridge across the river. In addition, Mrs. Leng also came forward to speak for you, so we decided to protect you. One life."

Xu Zaixu was frightened to death when he heard the first half of the sentence. When he heard the second half of the sentence, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. In an instant, he seemed to have all his strength drained and sat on the kang.

Shangguan Wan said: "Although we saved your life, the king will definitely not be able to save it."

Xu Zaixu was already accurate about this

He said, "It is a blessing to be able to save his life, and I dare not ask for too much."

Shangguan Wan said: "It's not just about revoking the title of king and demoting it to a commoner. Do you remember the King of Qi back then?"

Xu Zaixu was stunned and then said, "Remember... the girl means to make me pretend to die like Uncle King of Qi?"

"Absolutely." Shangguan Wan said, "From today, the King of Tang will die. You are an ordinary person. Whether it is the royal palace or the princess, it has nothing to do with you. But you still have a beautiful lady. , it's not like nothing."

Xu Zaixu then looked at Mu Qingci beside Shangguan Wan, with a complicated expression. Because of this woman, he ended up in such a field today, but because of this woman, he actually escaped.

Princess Xuanzhen said, "I advise you not to think about the past and think about the future more. Even if Miss Mu did not pull you into the water, we have other means to control the Nine Gates. The Later Party will still be defeated. Only then will you It's a death."

Shangguan Wan also said, "What the eldest princess said is very true. Qingci saved your life. When the female sect wanted to send Qingyu to approach King Jin, it failed, but what was the outcome of King Jin now?"

Xu Zaixu was shocked by the two of them, and he understood a little. Even if Mu Qingci had not coerced him, he would stay in the palace safely. When the empress dowager fell and the descendants were overthrown, he would be safe and sound. Being out of the matter? Those civil officials who are like wolves and tigers are willing to let him go? Most of them must follow the footsteps of King Jin. In this way, it was a blessing in disguise.

At this moment, Mu Qingci took the initiative to step forward and supported Xu Zaixu.

Xu Zaixu's body stiffened, but he never avoided it. With Mu Qingci's support, he sat upright.

Mu Qingci squatted down again and put on boots for him.

Xu Zaixu hurriedly said, "I dare not, I dare not."

Mu Qingci smiled with a pursed lips: "What are you going to dare to do? At worst, you can help me put on shoes once, and it will be flat."

After saying that, Mu Qingci still served him to put on his boots, took the cloak and handed it to him, and said softly: "It's time to leave. I also have a place to live in the imperial capital. I will wash it slowly when I go back."

Xu Zaixue took the cloak and said "um" softly.

Princess Xuanzhen said, "You go out from the back door of the sect's mansion. I have arranged the carriage. I don't have to wait for us. Sister Shangguan and I will go to see the King of Shu."

Mu Qingci responded and led Xu Zaixu away first.

From then on, Mu Qingci was successful and no longer a female official. Moreover, Mrs. Leng might have her position as Qinghui Ji. The original Qinghui Ji had already left the Female Sect and joined the palace official.

When the two left, Princess Xuanzhen and Shangguan Wan looked at each other and walked towards the King of Shu's yard.

Logically speaking, it is the truth that the King of Shu relies on the back party, and whether he dies or not is between the two, but Li Xuan is not interested in mercifulness to save the King of Shu, so the Confucian Sect took the opportunity to commit a death sentence for the King of Shu. .

This is a dirty job, someone has to do it.

When he arrived at the gate of the yard, Shangguan Wan whispered: "After all, it's a family, so sister shouldn't go in, so as not to feel uncomfortable."

Princess Xuanzhen did not show off and whispered, "Then I'll have a hard time with my sister."

Shangguan Wan walked into the yard of King Shu alone. It took about half an hour. Shangguan Wan came out alone and whispered, "The matter is done, let's go."
