Chapter 147

The face of emperor Qingming is always peaceful.

These objections were expected by him.

But as Song Dian said, this is because people do not know the origin and ability of Taoist Xuanqing——

"You Aiqing don't know. Taoist Xuanqing is not an ordinary person. Previously, Taoist Xuanqing predicted that there would be changes in Fengtian hall in Xia family's house. He predicted exactly where the evil Qi was hiding."

Emperor Qingming said, looking in the direction of Xia Tingzhen, and said, "I don't exaggerate whether it's true or false. Speaking of it, Xia Aiqing is also very clear about it -"

There was a low voice among the officials.

"It turned out to be the Taoist priest in the recent rumors?"

"It's just a rumor. Is there really such an expert?"

More officials chose silence and only made eye contact with each other.

Xia Tingzhen, who was ordered by Emperor Qingming, stood up.

"The Taoist priest is really powerful. I saw the situation with my own eyes. Besides, the Taoist priest not only has excellent skills, but also has great righteousness. The presence of such a capable man is a sign of prosperity."

Emperor Qingming nodded with a smile.

The teacher is worthy of being a teacher. He always knows what to do best.

Xia Tingzhen opened this mouth, and many ministers echoed it for a moment.

The censor, who had previously opposed it, also returned to his original position.

If this Taoist really has real skills, naturally he can't talk any more - after all, the Imperial Academy has been there for generations. He can't openly say that he opposes superstition. In that case, he must be beaten to death.

I think the essence of their Yitong academy is not only debate, but also a way of life that is not against the overall situation that can not be reversed.

Seeing such a situation, Ji Xiu, the Minister of the Ministry of war standing in front, had a look of interest in watching the excitement.

It is clear that he has folded all his best sons in, but now he has to say such words against his heart for the emperor's heart. In recent years, he rarely sees Xia Tingzhen eating so flat.

He broke his teeth and swallowed in his stomach - sure enough, a cunning villain who did nothing before the event and could win the emperor's attention with one mouth could only survive by guessing the emperor's heart at any time.

Thinking of this, Ji Xiu, who has always been dissatisfied with Xia Tingzhen, only feels despised and happy.

Over the years, Xia Tingzhen has taken countless things from him. He was also born in the war. Although he could not compare with the temperament of the Duke of Zhen that he would swing his fist and beat people if he disagreed, he was also a person who was unwilling to admit defeat.

Just over 50, no parents and children, many things have been too lazy to fight with all their strength.

But if you say that the unwilling in your heart has never really dispersed.

Yu Guang saw that the flattered Taoist gave a Taoist ceremony to all the officials, and Ji xiusui raised his eyes.

Is it really just an accident that this Taoist appeared?

And Xu Ying

At first, he just found out something about Xia Han secretly, so he listened to the proposal of the staff in the government and took Xu Ying to explore Xia Han's bottom. He didn't expect that things could develop to this day.

The success of this incident far exceeded their expectations, so it is difficult not to suspect that others are behind it.

But who would it be——

Is it an enemy or a friend?

Ji Xiu thought, looking at the Taoist's eyes, he couldn't help but bring a trace of exploration.

In the next moment, he met the same pair of eyes that the Taoist looked at him.

Between the four eyes, the Taoist nodded to him.

Ji Xiu:?

Are you familiar?

In doubt, when I looked carefully, I saw that the Taoist had taken back his eyes. Just now, he looked at each other like he was dazzled.

But I never thought that this scene had fallen into Xia Tingzhen's eyes, who had been paying attention to the Taoist's every move without a trace.

Xia Tingzhen half lowered her eyes and hid the cold under her eyes.

The real owner behind Shangyu Pavilion made use of a mere Xu Ying to promote today's situation

The clues found in recent days are enough to show that everything has something to do with Ji Xiu.

I thought that the other party was still in line in recent years and had some self-knowledge. At present, it's just the reckless man who acts without thinking and thinks he's smart!

It was such a rash man that not only did he take away one of his most satisfied sons, but also crossed him and placed an eye liner in front of his majesty.

Over the past few years, he has really been careless.

Xia Tingzhen slightly tightened her hands under the official robe.

After the early Dynasty, all officials saluted emperor Qingming and left with the national teacher of Taoism.

Xia Tingzhen took the last step out of the Jinluan hall.

Just at the end of the day, there was still no half an inch of sunlight between heaven and earth. The gloomy sky was pressed down, which was oppressive and breathless.

Near the evening, an autumn rain fell, adding a bit of coolness to the capital.

More than ten days passed, and it soon came to the day when Xia Han was executed.

On this day, Xia Tingzhen made an early morning as usual and returned home as usual.

But he didn't go back to the inner court, but he didn't even change his official robe, so he went to the outer library.

Xia Tingzhen picked up her pen and slowly put it down again.

"Summer wind -"

The attendants outside the study heard the sound, pushed the door in, bowed their heads and asked, "what can I do for you?"

Xia Tingzhen said, "go and see the second childe", but there was no exit. She only sighed imperceptibly, waved her hand and said, "just go out."

What if I go.

It can't be saved, so why let han'er regenerate other thoughts before he dies.

He had seen with his own eyes prisoners who were secretly tortured——

It's more than 1000 knives. It can't even be completed in a day

But in the process, experienced executioners will not let people die too easily

At that time, when he saw the bloody situation, he didn't feel the slightest touch in his heart. He just felt that the man asked for hardship and refused to reveal the truth. He was to blame for such an end.

But now I think that my own son is undergoing such torture, but I can't be calm.

Anyway, it was his own flesh and blood that he watched grow up and carefully cultivated.

Xia Tingzhen leaned back in her chair and slowly closed her eyes.

He wrote down today's pain.

……

"Mother..."

In the inner courtyard, Xue sat motionless in his couch, his eyes lax and empty.

Sitting on her left was a beautiful woman in her thirties, wearing a woman's bun.

This is the second girl of the Xia family who has already been married. It's summer evening.

Like Xia Xi sitting aside at this time, she is also the direct daughter of Xue Shi.

"Mother should take care of her body..." Xia night gently advised.

Mother always pays attention to maintenance, but in this short half month, half of her hair has gone white, and people have lost more than a circle. She looks much older.

Seeing that no matter how she advised, her mother didn't answer, Xia Wan hesitated for a moment and opened her mouth again.
