The emperor asked someone to bring up the memorial, opened it and watched it slowly, and said: "Do all the Aiqing have heard of this? Is there any fault with Xuan Guo?"
The ministers heard the song and understood the elegant meaning, and immediately understood that the emperor did not like to declare the country.
The civil official said: "The emperor, the minister thought that the miscarriage of the wrong heirs in the Xuanguo Mansion caused troubles in the city and damaged the image of the noble family, officials and even the court in the hearts of the people. It was the fault of Xuanguo. But the son of Xuanguo also When dealing with things privately, you should not make the people more suspicious."
The military attache said: "The emperor, regardless of whether there is any misunderstanding about the issue of the son of Xuanguo, he can't handle the affairs of a mansion properly, and he can't distinguish the blood of his descendants, so he should be punished severely.
It was the son of Xuanguo. The minister thought he was right. He was just a commoner in the future. If Xuanguo deliberately bullied him, he would have no power to resist. Of course, he had to use the heart of the people to protect the whole family. The minister thought he was very smart for such behavior. "
The emperor, the ministers heard that the son of Xuanguo had excellent riding and shooting skills, and he was loyal and filial, and Haoerlang was on the battlefield to defend his family and the country. This son is a man made! "
The civil official also said: "The emperor, in any case, Xuan Guogong's position as the son of the eldest son should not be ignored. I heard that he had asked in the court to move the household registration to the home of his biological parents. The minister thought it should be so."
Later, there were accusations that Fuxi did not return to Xuanguo Gongfu for being unfilial. Of course, some people retorted that the truth about holding the wrong child is unknown. Tao Li is very suspicious. The mother is not merciful. Why do the children want to return?
But because the truth cannot be verified, there is no way to determine whether Tao Li is guilty or not. It can only be determined that the master of Xuanguo Gongfu is not strict with the subordinates, and the subordinates are disadvantageous. This is still the master's fault.
In the end, of course, he went back to Duke Xuan Guo again, anyway, any problems in his mansion were his fault. As for Tao Rui and Fuxi, the officials don't think it is important, don't care too much. The focus has always been on Xuan Guogong.
The emperor heard them say everything that should be said, and joined the memorial: "As all Aiqing said, Xuanguo's governance of the family is a mess. Self-cultivation, uniformity, governance, and peace of the world. If the court officials can't do the same, how can they? Can serve the court?
Xuan Guo Gong was relegated to Xuan Jin Hou, who would be cautious in his words and deeds in the future, and his title would be reduced to hereditary. "
This punishment was cruel enough. The next generation was originally the grandfather of the country, but now it has become an uncle. If he was still a free man, he wouldn't really be a character in the capital. Xuanguo Palace is still disliked by the emperor. Unless Tao Bin is really talented, his decline is certain.
After retiring to the court, the ministers remembered, why didn't the emperor mention the position of the son? It seems that as soon as the matter of Baocuo was exposed, Lord Xuan Guo asked to change Tao Bin to be the prince son. Does the emperor have other ideas?
A simple matter provokes many speculations among the ministers. In fact, the emperor only admired Tao Rui and gave him time to solve the problem. You need to know the things Tao Rui did, if you didn't have the position of a son, you might not have done it.
When the emperor was exhausted and rested while criticizing the memorial, he remembered and asked, "What did Tao Rui do?"
Gao Quan said hurriedly: "The emperor, today Tao Shizi met with many friends. Apart from drinking and having fun, he seemed to be inquiring about how to refer to the imperial and martial arts examinations, and... he also asked how to use money to buy scholarships."
The emperor laughed and said, "Buy a fame. It seems that the fame of a talented person is very valuable. If you have money, you may not be able to buy it?"
"Yes." Gao Quan also laughed. The emperor is clear about these things in the court. "But now Tao Shizi is still the son of the eldest son. Maybe someone is willing to give him this face, and he has friends to help. Qi Yushi's only son is with Tao Shizi. Are friends."
The emperor pondered Tao Rui's thoughts, and said after a moment: "Advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended. Use the last chance to take care of everything. In the future, if no one provokes him, he may be dull and happy. If someone provokes him, he still You can take higher grades and become an official in the court. I heard that he has good talents and skills, but I don't know if he can really pass the exam or blindly confident."
The emperor has always loved smart people, especially smart young people, which means that the future is boundless, the mind is clear, and it can bring people new ideas and great surprises on many issues. And he hadn't met a young man like Tao Rui who was both civil and military at the age of seventeen, and he was not afraid of humiliation. He unconsciously developed a love for talent.
He really got it right, Tao Rui thought so. Traveling through so many worlds, being an emperor, ruling the end times, and even the interstellar age is unified, it is difficult for him to have a strong sense of professionalism. After all, I can't find any new feelings when I fight for the emperor here, and I will be very busy.
There is no need for a task, and there is no freshness. He has no motivation at all about the promotion of an official and a jue. On the contrary, he wants to travel around and take a good look at the world.
But he couldn't ignore the environment for anything he wanted. If he was just a commoner, it would be really troublesome for the Xuanguo Palace and the Qin Family to make trouble. He wants to go to various towns, states, and capitals, and he may not be able to get a guide. Unfortunately, he is involved in the wrong and is easy to be cannon fodder. Only with fame can you be guaranteed, and you can't kneel when you see an official.
It is that he has never taken the test before and has no experience. Only when I heard that talents can be bought, and if they can be purchased, they can directly test and recruit people. This is how the original owner has so many dude friends, many of whom are not too big to watch the excitement, and are still willing to play with him. These connections can't do big things, and it's so easy to buy a talent.
Especially Tao Rui now holds one hundred thousand taels in his hand. He can also be photographed by auction!
The dudes were extremely enthusiastic when they saw him. They didn't have much money on hand. If Tao Rui was generous, he would treat them every time he invited them, and they would definitely be there on call. The most important thing is that Tao Rui can still play, never disappointed, and now he has a reputation for both civil and military, and they feel that they have face when playing with him.
Tao Rui made the decision to buy talents so smoothly, he wanted to say that if he left today, a young man hurried in and said in surprise, "You don't know, right? Xuan Guo has been demoted by the emperor! "
Everyone was silent and looked at Tao Rui at the same time, and then immediately asked: "What's the matter? Tell me, talk about it!"
The man saw Tao Rui and said with a smile: "Yo, Tao Shizi is also here." He walked up to Tao Rui and sat down and asked, "You did a great thing yesterday. That kind of abdication is true. ?"
Tao Rui held the wine glass and nodded lightly, "The words have been spoken, and they are naturally true. Brother Chen has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
"I just happened to pass by the gate of Xuanguo Gong's mansion and saw the scene of Xuan's imperial decree and subduing the nobility with my own eyes. Good fellow, Xuan's prince has become Xuan Jinhou, or is he downgraded to hereditary! The emperor personally said that Xuan's ruling family is not strict. , Said he was confused!"
Everyone was surprised, "So, when the third son of Tao is attacked, he will be an earl?"
"Naturally." Someone took a grape and threw it in front of Tao Rui, and asked curiously, "Tell me, what did the third son of Tao do? How did he humiliate his ancestor?"
"Yeah, let's talk about it. I thought he was not pleasing to the eye. Some people said that he is the most outstanding in our generation. Oh, I don't recognize it, wouldn't he just write two poems?"
Tao Rui leaned back on the chair and said with a smile: "Although I am cut off from them, I still can't do anything that exposes people's strengths. I don't want to say how they are in the house."
"Haha, do you believe this by yourself? I think San Young Master Tao didn't provoke you 80% of the time. If you provoke anxiousness, you speak faster than anyone else, just like yesterday's ten big boxes of silver. Hahaha, that's magnificent!"
"Since your trick is too cruel, I was drinking tea when I was listening to the letter, and the tea spurted out, almost being scolded to death by my father!"
"Hey, I found out that Xuan Jinhou's "Jin" and Jinzhi's "Jin" mean the same thing. Back then, Jinzhi and we were riding out of the city and we were caught by Xuan Jinhou and beaten up and took the word "Jinzhi" This expression is for him to be cautious in his words and deeds, right? Did you say that the emperor did it on purpose? This is a coincidence!"
Tao Rui raised his eyebrows, this could not be a coincidence, it could only be deliberate by the emperor. Now that the emperor demoted Lord Xuan Guo but did not remove his elder son, that means that the emperor did not like Lord Xuan Guo mansion, but preferred him.
After all, he was a person who had been an emperor. After a little thought, he guessed that the emperor had a passion for talents, and 80% was thinking about how to use him. By the way, let's see what he would do next. Maybe his every move now is under the emperor's watch, but he just didn't expect that he would pass through and not long after he was noticed by the emperor.
Tao Rui wasn't worried. As far as he understood, the emperor was Mingjun. Now he was fifty years old and there was no sign of confusion. He was very sensible. As long as he doesn't do anything to provoke the emperor, the emperor will naturally not trouble him.
The emperor over there guessed his thoughts, and here he also guessed the emperor's psychology. Everyone in the game was talking about Xuan Jinhou with laughter, Tao Rui got up and left after drinking two more glasses.
They guessed that Tao Rui would still feel uncomfortable when he left the house. No one stopped him, and they thought he was in fact sentimental and righteous. Even if you say that you are not righteous, you still feel uncomfortable to see your adoptive father being downgraded. Such a talent is worth paying for!
They talked about the things they knew about in the Xuanjin Hou Mansion, how many times Tao Rui was caught playing with them, and several times they saw Tao Rui's body injured. At that time, they teased him about being beaten, but now it's all Xuan Jin in retrospect. The Hou Mansion treated Tao Rui's evidence harshly.
Regardless of what outsiders say, anyway, these dudes who play with Tao Rui think it is Tao Rui who Tao Li stole! Regardless of whether his evidence is not evidence, they are not stingy. With this speculation, they even dismissed Tao Bin even more, and even suspected that Tao Bin had known about the false world son from Tao Li and secretly leaked it to Qin Ruo.
Don't think that Tao Rui wouldn't know if they didn't say anything, then Qin Ruo openly helped Tao Bin scold Tao Rui in the hunting ground, seeing Tao Rui look like a vicious gangster, it's simply a brain disease. Tao Rui was still her fiance at that time. They all guessed that Qin Ruo must have something to do with Tao Bin, so everything made sense.
And Tao Rui was anxious in court, didn't he also mention it? Saying that he has become a false world son, who will fall on Qin Ruo's marriage.
Who will fall on it?
Of course it was Tao Bin!
So they guessed it right! That hypocrite Tao Bin just sneaked up with his sister-in-law! Really damn shame to the ancestor!
However, they are all children of large families, and no matter how much they guess in private, they would never speak in front of Tao Rui. Especially when he first asked, Tao Rui said that regardless of the length of the person, they would not mention it in cooperation. This kind of betrayal by his fiancée and younger brother is still quite embarrassing.
Several people talked and talked about who Tao Rui would marry in the future. Qin Ruo used to be the third-rank official's daughter. Now Tao Rui has become a commoner, even if he buys a talent, that talent is nothing in their eyes.
Everyone guesses that in the future, Tao Rui will marry the daughter of a wealthy merchant, the daughter of the county magistrate of Qipin, and the daughter of other talented people. Some people said otherwise to see if there is a suitable girl in their own family. The prostitutes are not good, and there are also prostitutes. Tao Rui holds two hundred thousand fortunes. Maybe he can win more in the future. Marrying is not a loss.
Tao Rui asked the shopkeeper to keep accounts outside, and packed a few dishes by the way to take them back to eat with his family. Scanning the past few years, I found all the joking discussions of the dudes, and they all relayed them to Tao Rui.
Tao Rui shook his head amusedly, [This is how I can do it when I'm idle, it's also very interesting. I hope they just talk, don't really give me a blind date. ]
[Floating years: Hahaha I think they are serious. Your deeds in the gambling house are legendary. Many people say that you have never forgotten and are smart. You must have found the trick to gambling. They are waiting for you next time. To win. Several gambling houses have called people to pay attention to you, saying that if you come to the door immediately, please go to the inner hall.
By the way, there are still a lot of people who laughed at you before, wanting to see you down and not seeing it, and suddenly discovering that you are richer than them.
There are also many people who are guessing what you are going to do in the future. The most guessed thing is that you want to open a restaurant where you can eat, drink and play to earn the money of those rich children! ]
Obviously, the process of collecting information in the fleeting years is very joyful. I said a lot of it. It played a perfect role in relieving Tao Rui's boredom. It also provided Tao Rui with inspiration to open a restaurant for eating, drinking, and having fun? It's not impossible. The family must have a livelihood and opening a store is a must. It happens that the landlord has a shop to sell, so you can check the location and open a shop for your family.
After talking about the fun information, I asked: [Brother Rui, do you want to see the fun? Today Tao Qian must be very miserable, we don't have to get close, it can be scanned from a distance of 500 meters. ]
Tao Rui is not interested, [The dishes are ready, go home while it's hot. I didn't have a few bites just now. ]
What he said to Tao Qian before that the well water does not violate the river water is true. What he hopes most is that the two sides are clean, and don't disturb anyone, his life will be leisurely here. If it weren't for the fact that he always wanted him to take the blame, he wouldn't make trouble. Unfilial piety was difficult in ancient times. They wanted to step on his beautiful name and dream.
The fleeting years seems to be a pity, it still wants to see the expressions of Tao Qian's family. Who knows that Tao Rui is not interested, but the Qingsong family are interested. When Tao Rui went home and asked everyone to eat, they went out to inquire and ran back.
Each of them has familiar servants in Xuanjinhou's Mansion, and the news is quite comprehensive. When I said that the imperial decree was about, several masters in the mansion were shocked and couldn't believe it. After asking several times and seeing the imperial decree with their own eyes, they believed it.
Tao Qian slapped Tao Li on the spot!
Tao Bin went up and stopped, Tao Qian still pointed at him and yelled at him, saying that he was worthy of being the son of Tao Li, and he didn't use his mind to do things, so he was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall.
Tao Bin refused, and Tao Qian directly asked someone to use the cane to move the family method, accidentally hitting Tao Bin's arm, the arrow injury that had not been good before was serious again, and Tao Bin's thin skin and tender flesh, first He was beaten again and again, angry and wronged. At this moment, he had a high fever on the bed, and Tao Li and Tao Qian quarreled in a hurry.
But he didn't want Tao Qian to be very tough this time, or to say that he was very angry, so that Tao Li directly restrained his feet and handed over the power of the house to Aunt Zhou.
Tao Qian went to the ancestral hall by himself and knelt, crying in front of his ancestor's tablet, and blamed himself for losing the title of his father's life on the battlefield. It was useless to persuade him.
The people in the mansion were panicked, and they had to cooperate with the people of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to clean up the things that were overrun in the mansion, and those things that could only be used by the princes of the country had to be handed in.
In short, Xuan Jin Hou's Mansion was a mess at the moment, and there really was a clear sign of decline.
The Tao family sighed after hearing this for a while, "For such a high-ranking government office, the emperor will be degraded in a word? It's really unreliable."
Tao Rui said while eating, "It's natural to sit and sit well. They will end up doing things they shouldn't do. If they don't stop the losses in time, they may be more serious in the future."
The few people nodded clearly, feeling a little more relaxed. After all, there was a potential threat over there, and now that something happened over there, it was a good thing for them.
Several people discussed the time to go back to Xishan Village. In any case, they had to arrange the affairs of the family well. It might take a few days to come back. They all told Tao Rui not to go back. First, they were afraid that Tao Rui was not used to the village. Secondly, the villagers would be curious to ask this question. They were afraid that too many people would make Tao Rui uncomfortable. Thirdly, there was no extra room at home. inconvenient.
Tao Rui agreed after thinking about it. He also has something to do. No matter what he will do in the future, he has to practice hard and raise the value of his force first. Fortunately, he has a spiritual spring space, so it is not difficult to cultivate.
After the Tao family returned to Xishan Village, Tao Rui thanked the guests behind closed doors and practiced for two days and two nights.
The outside world guessed that he blamed himself because Tao Qian was demoted. His reputation for filial piety and empathy became even stronger, and Tao Qian and Tao Li almost vomited blood with anger. Tao Li finally made up one hundred thousand taels and was stuck in the last time limit and gave it to him. It was really angina when I thought of it. I was sick and sick. It was harder to drink bitter soup and medicine every day than when I asked for a child. The following swallow.
I really couldn't eat or fall asleep, and I wanted to kill Tao Rui to vent his anger. But they really didn't dare to do anything at this time. They caught the emperor's eyes. Of course, the more low-key the better.
Tao Rui bought the talent and fame as soon as he got the silver, and also bought a very good and very large shop.
Just when he and a few dudes were going to see the storefront, a eunuch in the palace brought a few people to find them.
"The emperor has a destiny. I will set off to hunt in the paddock at noon the next day. I want all the princes to fight and show off their style in the paddock. The emperor specially named Tao Shizi your name, and hope that Shizi will prepare properly."
The other dudes were shocked, amazing. They just joked that Tao Rui didn't become the son of the world and opened a shop, but was named by the emperor? Hunting competition seems to be Tao Rui's strong point. This is definitely a good opportunity to show his face in front of the emperor!
But what makes them wonder is, what exactly does the emperor want to do?
