Chapter 198: Duke of Wei

Yang Qiuchi said: "Yes, Miss Hong Ling was originally the concubine of a county magistrate in a remote county in Wuchang. Later, she was designed by the prefect of Wuchang Prefecture Tan. Just now, Magistrate Tan told me that he brought Miss Hong Ling to visit Mi Yuanwai's home. Mi Yuanwai once went out and talked to a middle-aged man with squint eyes. The middle-aged man kept watching them. Then Mi Yuanwai used both soft and hard work to take Miss Hong Ling as a concubine. I only now know that the middle-aged man is you. Mi Yuanwai robbed Miss Hong Ling because you fell in love with her."

Speaking of this, Yang Qiuchi turned his head and looked at Hong Ling, and saw that she looked desolate, like a duckweed leaf in the autumn wind.

Yang Qiuchi continued: "Although I don't know who you are yet, both the prefect Tan and the governor Quan told me that Mi Yuanwai are very respectful of you. Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine that Mi Yuanwai must have forced her over to please you. Although he took her as his concubine, he asked her to accompany you. It can be seen how your status in Mi Yuanwai's mind is."

In fact, it is not difficult to guess at this. Only a girl as beautiful as Hong Ling can get so many people to rob him. Prime Minister Tan said that Mi Yuanwai snatched his beautiful concubine. After Mi Yuanwai snatched him, because his wife was jealous, he could only put it in the golden house. The seven or eight women in the golden house were not as beautiful as Hong Ling. Who else could she be if she wasn't?

The middle-aged man sighed, "You are right. Since I saw Miss Hong Ling at Mi Yuanwai's house, I have been deeply fascinated by her. When Mi Yuanwai sent her here, I was very happy and cared for her. So, I saw you bullied Miss Hong Ling through the gap in the roof tiles just now, so I couldn't help but let my guards come down to stop you. I didn't expect this to be a trap you dug."

Yang Qiuchi smiled and said, "Even if you don't dig this trap, you will be surrounded by Jinyiwei. You can't escape."

Song Yuner interrupted, "Okay, brother, you have guessed that they were hiding on the roof, and deliberately used those half-blocked words to let us go, with the purpose of luring them down?"

Yang Qiuchi smiled: "You are very smart and you will definitely guess what Brother Di is thinking."

Unexpectedly, Song Yuner spat: "Guess you, a big head! I was going to be so angry by you at that time, who would guess what you mean!"

Yang Qiuchi was a little surprised and said, "It's impossible. I asked you two masters to take a large group of Jinyiwei to get a puppy. Why don't you doubt such an unreasonable thing?"

"What's there to doubt?" Song Yuner glanced at Hong Ling and said hatefully, "Look at how they look, I thought you drove us away to have her and her..."

Yang Qiuchi smiled bitterly: "Then I will look at you. You should know!"

"I'm angry, I didn't see any look at you!" Song Yun'er said angrily.

"This, this..." Yang Qiuchi's head was so big, "Even Nangong Xiong guessed it. How could you not guess it if you are so smart!"

Yang Qiuchi forgot something. The IQ of a jealous woman is always equal to zero.

Song Yuner also thought of the consequences at this moment. If Nangong Xiong hadn't guessed that she was angry and ran away, Yang Qiuchi would be in danger and could not help but be very scared. She couldn't help but hold Yang Qiuchi's hand: "Brother, it's Yun'er, it's not good. Yun'er will not be angry anymore in the future."

Yang Qiuchi was also a little scared, and shaved her nose, and was both angry and funny: "How did you know what I mean later?"

"Nangong Xiong caught up and told me. I looked back at the door. Only then did I be sure that you are not trying to take advantage of other girls, but that you have no intention."

Yang Qiuchi smiled even more happily: "How did you know?"

"You haven't closed the door. How could you do that with the door open!" Song Yuner blurted out, feeling random and indecent, so she rolled her eyes to Yang Qiuchi.

The middle-aged man looked at Yang Qiuchi deeply, nodded, turned his face to look at Hong Ling, his eyes full of tenderness.

Hong Ling looked at Yang Qiuchi, and Yang Qiuchi also looked at Hong Ling with the middle-aged man's eyes. When the two of them looked at each other, they both avoided in panic.

Yang Qiuchi coughed in concealment, changed the subject and asked the middle-aged man: "Is it you who asked the escort to set fire to the granary?"

"It's me." The middle-aged man with a squinting eyes drowningly took his eyes off Miss Hong Ling and replied sadly.

"You're pretty good." Yang Qiuchi was a little surprised. This person had no problem with his head, so why did he admit it so honestly?

"A real man dares to act and take responsibility, what's there to admit!" Xu Qin thrust his back and said with his head raised.

"Since that's the case, please come with us." Yang Qiuchi ordered: "Tie him up!"

The Jinyiwei agreed in unison and came forward to take action. The hunchbacked old man shouted angrily: "Stop! Do you know who my lord is?"

Lord? Why is this name so familiar? It seems that Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms called Liu Bei and Emperor Liu the lord. Could this middle-aged man with squint eyes be a person like Liu Bei? He asked involuntarily, "Who is your lord?"

"Duke Xu Qin of Wei!"

What is Duke of Wei? When Yang Qiuchi was still confused by the monk, he saw Luo Qianhu's face change slightly. Yang Qiuchi and the other two hurriedly looked at Master Jin behind him. Seeing that his face was also a little ugly, he winked at himself and signaled to speak outside.

Yang Qiuchi frowned and waved his hand to the Jinyiwei to indicate that he would not tie it up. Then he walked out of the door and walked to the stairs before he stopped. Master Jin trotted and followed. Yang Qiuchi asked, "Which temple is this guy?"

Master Jin smiled bitterly: "Sir, if the Mi Yuanwai in front is not considered a relative of the royal family, we don't have to worry too much. This master is an authentic royal family member. His father Xu Huizu is the eldest son of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan. After the death of the king of Zhongshan, Xu Huizu inherited the Duke of Xu Da's Wei Kingdom. After the death of Xu Huizu, Xu Qin is the Duke of Wei Kingdom. Therefore, there is no joke about this master."

When Yang Qiuchi was in middle school, he couldn't do liberal arts and didn't understand the rules of the ancient palace, especially in the history of the Ming Dynasty. He didn't even know much of a famous figure like Xu Da. Many of the knowledge came from the introduction in Jin Yong's novels. So he didn't understand what the powerful joints were.

Master Jin saw that Yang Qiuchi was confused and guessed that he didn't understand, so he further explained: "After Xu Qin's father Xu Huizu inherited the throne of Wei by his father Xu Da, Emperor Taizu valued Xu Huizu quite seriously. During the Jingnan Campaign, Xu Huizu was a capable general of Jianwen. He once led his army to defeat the current emperor's troops in Shandong. Fortunately, Jianwen was worried that he would betray him and transferred him away. Later, Jianwen was defeated and fled. Xu Huizu stayed in his father's ancestral hall and cried bitterly, and refused to see the emperor."

"The emperor's grace is so great that he did not care too much about Xu Hui's faults, but just reduced his title and placed it under house arrest. In the fifth year of Yongle, Empress Xu passed away shortly after her death, and Xu Huizu also died. The emperor's grace is so kind that Xu Qin arranged for Xu Huizu to inherit the title of Duke Wei of the Kingdom of Wei."

After hearing this, Yang Qiuchi said happily: "What's wrong with it? His father is a rebel. Now he is planning to rebel. That is the death penalty for destroying the Nine Clans. If he seizes this handle, what else can he worry about!"

Master Jin said, "Sir, Xu Qin is nicknamed 'Xu Tietou' by nature. He has never heard of anything particularly excessive about him before. He didn't expect that he was just as stupid as his father. However, even if he participated in inciting the robbery of grain, the emperor might not be able to do anything to him. Think about it, his father openly stood on Jianwen's side and led his troops to fight against the emperor. In the end, the emperor did not execute him, let alone implicated him."

"Now his son just asked someone to set fire to fire food, just trying to cause riots among hungry people. Strictly speaking, it is not a blatant rebellion. The emperor may not necessarily do anything to him. Besides, the Xu clan has a close connection with the emperor. When it comes to their affairs, the adults must handle them carefully and not be reckless."

Indeed, the Xu Da family has been throughout the entire history of the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years. Although there are many accidents, they can be defeated. Take Xu Qin as an example. Xu Qin not only inherited the throne of Duke of Wei by his father Xu Huizu, but also inherited his father's loyalty to the orthodox Ming Dynasty, and never recognized the throne of Zhu Di, the Ming Dynasty's Chengzu."

In the 19th year of Yongle, Emperor Chengzu of Ming ordered Xu Qin to visit the court. Unexpectedly, after Xu Qin went to court, the eldest son did not kneel down and laughed out loud. Emperor Chengzu of Ming was furious, but he had no choice but to cut off his title again. After Renzong ascended the throne, in addition to restoring the title of Xu Qin, he also appointed Xu Qin's eldest son Xu Chengzu as the commander of the Jinyiwei.

Although Yang Qiuchi was dissatisfied with it, he knew that Master Jin had been through the officialdom for a long time and had a much clearer understanding of the interests and joints in it than he did. Besides, it is always right to be careful to last a thousand years.

Yang Qiuchi returned to the room, changed his smile and said, "It turns out that he is Duke of Wei, I am so respectful."

The hunchbacked old man shouted, "Since you know, why don't you meet with courtesy?"

Yang Qiuchi said: "If it were on weekdays, Xiaguan would certainly meet with courtesy, but now the father-in-law committed this crime of treason, Xiaguan was ordered to investigate and investigate. Of course, this courtesy would be exempted."
