Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1427 Qiu Xinggong

As expected, as Qiu Shenji was imprisoned by Dali Temple, rumors that Fang Jun wanted to punish Qiu Shenji out of jealousy quickly spread among the towns and cities. In just two days, everyone in Chang'an City knew it.

Some said that Fang Jun was worthy of being a man, and that his beloved woman was about to marry and wanted to completely destroy Qiu Shenji in a fit of rage; others said that Fang Jun had avenged his personal revenge, and that he was thinking about his sister-in-law, which was unbearable...

In short, there are fewer applause and more unpleasant ones.

However, unexpectedly, whether it is His Majesty Li Er, who is eager to love his daughter, or Fang Xuanling, whose son is involved in the whirlpool of public opinion, and even all the parties involved remain silent, it seems that those who are interested have noticed the strangeness of it , kept silent and stayed out of the matter...

*****
Qinglongfang, the Qiu family's mansion.

This square is located in the east of the south of the city, and its location is remote. It is not a prosperous place in the middle of Beijing, and few rich and powerful people live here.Therefore, the entire Lifang is almost occupied by two mansions, one is the Qiu family’s mansion in the east, accounting for about one-third of the entire Lifang, and the other is the mansion of Yun Guogong Zhang Liang in the west, which occupies almost Qinglong. Most of the square.

In terms of status, Qiu Xinggong is naturally inferior to Zhang Liang...

However, although the Qiu family's mansion occupies less land, its luxury is not far behind.

The entire courtyard is spacious, covering an area of ​​more than four acres. There are not only tall locust trees and ancient willows in the courtyard, but also dense ancient cypresses, and various flowers and trees are dotted in it.There is a half-acre pond with the Qujiang River running through it. There are peach trees and weeping willows on the revetment. There are waterside pavilions in the pond. An arch bridge is built between the waterside pavilion and the pool bank, and lotus flowers are planted under the bridge.

Just after noon, there was a commotion of cars and horses in front of the Qiu family's mansion, and then all the servants in the mansion put down their work and went to the mansion gate to welcome them.

Qiu Xinggong, who was dressed in military uniform and helmet, held a riding whip in one hand, and strode into the courtyard with a gloomy expression, ignoring the scene of the servants and maids saluting and greeting, and striding all the way into the spacious and bright main hall.

With a sound of "dong", he threw the whip on the table, Qiu Xinggong sat down on the chair with a golden sword, his face was so gloomy that dripping water, he looked coldly at the family members in front of him, and asked: "Tell me Well, what's going on?"

Qiu Xinggong is just over fifty this year. He has a square face with closed eyebrows. He has a strong physique and thick joints. His appearance is as rough as a tiger. The Buddha is about to choose someone to devour...

Because of his many military exploits, he was granted the title of General Zuo Wuhou and concurrently served as the governor of Ji and Shanzhou. These days, the flood in Shanzhou caused the Yellow River to burst its embankment. The military department made a big fuss and then ran into Princess Jinyang's car and was detained by Dali Temple and imprisoned, awaiting judgment...

I was really taken aback, and immediately I didn't care about sitting in Shanzhou to suppress the possible civil uprising, and hurried back to the capital overnight.

It's nothing more than making a fuss in the Ministry of War, but hitting a princess' car is a felony enough to be dispatched by the army!What's more, the one who collided was driven by the emperor's favorite Princess Jinyang?Under the emperor's fury, it is possible to exile Qiongzhou and never use it!

Qiu Shenji was brave and good at fighting, and he was the only one among the younger generation of the Qiu family who had the chance to inherit the family business. How could Qiu Xinggong helplessly watch this young son who had high hopes ruin his future?
Even if it is AWOL, I can't care about it...

But after the questioning, I found a group of servants standing in the hall looking at me, squeaking, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

The Qiu family's foundation is in Luoyang, which is the place of ancestral home. Compared with the property that Chang'an bought only to cope with the diplomatic exchanges between the DPRK and China, the manpower is relatively scarce, and there is even a lack of shrewd managers, so that When a major event happened, I was so confused that I couldn't receive any news...

Qiu Xinggong was furious, and he glanced around, pointing his stubby fingers at an ugly young man: "Zhou Xing, tell me."

"Here!"

Zhou Xing stood out from the crowd.

The Zhou family is from Yongzhou, but the family is not visible, and has always been attached to the Qiu family, and their status is almost the same as that of a servant.However, although this person is ugly, he is extremely intelligent, cunning and wise. At this moment, he narrates the sequence of events, even the part that has not been seen in person is already guessed.

Qiu Xinggong pondered for a long time, complaining in his heart.

In any case, the collision with Princess Jinyang's car is true and irrefutable, and whether his son's punishment is light or severe is entirely up to His Majesty.But His Majesty loves Princess Jinyang the most, this bastard Qiu Shenji is really stupid to the extreme, even if he is arrogant and domineering, it depends on whether he is good or not?

Now it's really tricky...

Zhou Xing blinked and wanted to ask for credit, so he said cautiously: "My nephew has a trick, maybe he can save brother Qiu from punishment..."

Qiu Xinggong glared at him, and said angrily: "Speak if you have something to say, and fart if you have something to say!"

Zhou Xing was most afraid of Qiu Xinggong, so he trembled in fright, not daring to show off, and quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Yes, yes... Although brother Qiu is in prison now, there are already rumors in the market, and it is rumored that this matter is true. Because Fang Jun hated that Princess Changle was going to marry Brother Qiu, so he was so jealous that he planned to frame her... Regardless of whether this is true or not, if we use this as an opportunity to spread the word, Brother Qiu will definitely take the initiative, win sympathy, and then gather Some ministers impeach Fang Jun for using his power for personal gain and avenging his personal revenge, which will definitely turn the situation around completely."

It is a serious crime for Qiu Shenji to collide with Princess Jinyang's car, but the punishment for such crimes rests with the emperor's will, and it is impossible for Dali Temple to participate too much.As long as Fang Jun can be portrayed as a big villain, Qiu Shenji is the one who was framed by the design, which will definitely turn the tide.

After all, with Qiu Xinggong here, the emperor would probably be ashamed to punish Qiu Shenji heavily when he was framed, right?
Zhou Xing was secretly proud of his idea...

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Qiu Xinggong raised his eyebrows and raised his eyes, picked up the riding whip that was thrown on the table and whipped it over, and said angrily: "Bastard! You want to kill my son?!"

"Snapped!"

Zhou Xing was caught off guard by a horsewhip and savagely hit his cheek, and immediately screamed, covered his face and backed up a few steps, but he didn't dare to run away, and said in a trembling voice, "Why did uncle hit me?"

Qiu Xinggong got angry from his heart, stood up abruptly, and whipped Zhou Xing violently at Zhou Xing, cursing as he whipped: "It's all you, the troublemaker, if it wasn't for your instigation, my son would not Can you go to the Ministry of War to make trouble? If you don’t go to the Ministry of War, how can you be caught by Fang Jun, beaten and humiliated again and again, and even set up to frame you? Now he comes up with a bad idea, a scourge of killing you!"

"Oh, uncle, please forgive me..."

Zhou Xing's face was bloodied in a few strokes, and when he saw Qiu Xinggong's hairy beard bursting into anger, he was so frightened that he ran away with his head in his arms, shouting for mercy.

This old man dares to eat people's hearts and minds, and kills people like a ruthless man. If I don't hide, I can really beat him to death...

"Hurry up and get the hell out of me, if you come up with bad ideas, if you dare to appear in front of me again, be careful to take your skin off!"

Qiu Xinggong didn't want to beat Zhou Xing to death, he let out his anger after beating him for a while, then threw away the whip, went back to sit down, and drank a cup of tea in one gulp.

Zhou Xing felt like he was being pardoned, so he covered his face and ran away...

After drinking the tea, the depression gradually dissipated, Qiu Xinggong was thinking about how to rescue his son.

Zhou Xing's method is definitely not feasible. Although he is not in the capital, he has heard a little about what happened in the capital.

First it was Zhenguanli, then glass, and then the East Datang Company, the Royal Navy Fleet... One by one, they were all due to great contributions.Gathering all these meritorious deeds in one body, Fang Jun has achieved great momentum and is almost invincible.

From Qiu Xinggong's point of view, the reason why he currently takes the position of Minister of the Ministry of War is to appease the Guanlong family who have been severely punished by Fang Jun, and the second is that Fang Xuanling is still in power, and the emperor deliberately Just suppression.

Once Fang Xuanling becomes an official, it is almost inevitable that Fang Junqingyun will go straight to the ranks...

Under such circumstances, how difficult is it to rely on rumors to bring down Fang Jun?
As for gathering ministers to impeach Fang Jun... In other words, when was the stick afraid of impeachment?

The most undesirable thing about spreading rumors is that while splashing Fang Jun with dirty water, it also tarnishes Princess Changle's reputation.Although the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty is open, it is not surprising that there are some romantic affairs between unmarried women and men, especially the royal family is constantly dirty, but as a father, how will His Majesty view this matter?

Anger is almost inevitable.

After thinking about it, Qiu Xinggong gave up his plan to find a few close friends to discuss the solution, and decided to try his own method...
