As the director of Princess Changding's palace, Zhang Jian secretly followed the emperor's orders and knew all the past details of Concubine Jiang's family.
Xie Jun, the Marquis of Changping, inherited the title of the Xie family, had military exploits, and was favored by the late emperor.
However, Xie Jun had many concubines and was lax in running the family, which itself was the source of chaos in the family. Adding incompetent children made it worse.
The Xie family and the Jiang family had a grudge and even became enemies because of Xie Jun's concubine and the prodigal son of the family.
When the title of Marquis of Changping was passed to Xie Jun, it was already the third generation. Such nobles had gradually begun to decline. Xie Jun's salary and support from the court alone were not enough to maintain the glory of the Marquis Mansion.
Therefore, the Changping Marquis Mansion had people engaged in general business and commercial affairs, and it gradually developed and expanded over the years.
The Xie family's main business is grain merchants.
The Jiang family was one of the three major imperial merchants back then. Anyone who entered this business would inevitably have to deal with the Jiang family.
There was a time when the Jiang and Xie families were very close to each other. Later, for some reason, rumors emerged that Xie Jun's concubine had murdered Qian, the mother of the Jiang family. The two families had no contact with each other since then.
A few years later, when the late emperor was seriously ill, a rare severe drought occurred in the country, and the people had almost no harvest. Therefore, the court opened warehouses to provide disaster relief to tide over the disaster years.
Unexpectedly, the Jiang family sued the Changping Hou Mansion and Taicang officials for colluding and embezzling the court's disaster relief food in order to line their own pockets.
At that time, the late emperor lingered on the dragon bed and sent the seventh prince and his son Jinshang to jointly handle the matter.
The two princes went to Taicang to check, and then they found that Taicang, which was supposed to be full, had only one-third of the grain left. The actual amount of relief grain distributed was completely inconsistent with the amount recorded in Taicang!
After digging into the matter, the two princes finally found evidence of the Xie family's corruption. It was Xie Jun's concubines and concubines who committed this shocking crime.
After the incident, the late emperor was extremely angry. He took back the iron certificate of the Xie family's alchemy book, deprived the Xie family of their titles, confiscated the Xie family's home, and exiled the Xie family's children to Lingnan.
It is said that Xie Jun vomited blood on the spot and almost died.
I don't know whether the late emperor cared about Xie Jun's achievements or because he was seriously ill and had a soft heart. He actually left Xie Jun a grandson and placed him in Jingzhao Wuge.
Xie Jun's grandson is Xie Yi.
After Xie Yi entered the Wuge, Xie Jun passed away, and there were no more Xiehou or Changpinghou Mansion in the world.
Nowadays, all the Xie family's children are in pieces. The only one who is still alive and has been awarded the rank of captain is Xie Yi. This was awarded by the late emperor before his death.
After taking the throne now, I don't bother to embarrass such a person. Update without error@
Moreover, before and after he ascended the throne, many important ministers and aristocratic families were appointed. The Xie family is just one of them and does not deserve special attention.
Zhang Jian did not expect that Xie Yi, who was lucky enough to survive, would point a spear at His Highness in the martial arts pavilion!
Is this because my brain is not working properly? Or do you think you have a long life?
He looked at Xie Yi who was kneeling on the ground with his face swollen, and he really couldn't understand anything.
Why bother with such a person? Maybe this is why His Highness was so merciful with only two slaps?
Zheng Ji looked at Zheng Qiong and said with a smile: "Vice-minister Zheng, I wonder where you are going next?"
She had a smile on her face, as if Xie Yi was just a weed on the roadside. Who would care about a weed on the roadside?
"Your Highness, please come this way." Zheng Qiong said with a smile, pretending not to notice Xie Yi still kneeling.
If you humiliate yourself, you have to pay the price.
As the deputy master of the pavilion, he had to greet His Highness Changding with a smile. How could a little captain who was protected by the Wuge have the courage to challenge His Highness Changding?
He had already given Xie Yi a hand, but he didn't want to do anything about it.
Zheng Ji nodded, passed Xie Yi directly, and was surrounded by Shi Dingfang and others.
From beginning to end, she never said a word to Xie Yi and ignored him completely.
She doesn't pay attention to Xie Yi now.
The decline of the Xie family is indeed related to my grandfather. My grandfather did a lot of tricks in what happened that year, but it is true that the Xie family's concubines murdered my grandmother, and it is also true that the Xie family embezzled money to provide food for disaster relief. The Jiang family and the Xie family are simply incompatible.
Xie Yi therefore wanted to seek revenge.
Yes, but if you don’t have the ability to seek revenge, don’t blame her for being rude!
She was able to trample Xie Yi under her feet in her previous life, and of course she can do the same in this life!
She kept Xie Yi still, just to see if the person behind Xie Yi appeared.
Otherwise, today wouldn't be as simple as just two slaps. @
Zheng Qiong didn't know what Zheng Ji was thinking, but for some reason, she felt a chill all over her body.
It was as if there was some unknown danger approaching.
But when he concentrated on feeling it carefully, there was nothing there, as if it was just his illusion.
What he was most proud of was his keen intuition, and he never took any chances.
The current situation would only make him extremely alarmed and cautious, and he would treat Zheng Ji with even more respect.
Zheng Ji felt the difference and couldn't help but glance at Zheng Qiong.
Now Deputy Pavilion Zheng and later Pavilion Master Zheng are still so sharp!
This... makes people really nostalgic!
In this way, she doesn't have to worry about digging a hole for Zheng Qiong. She really wants to know who is better between her and Zheng Qiong now.
The vast group of people walked away, and in the end only the kneeling Xie Yi remained.
People passed by him one after another, no one dared to wake him up, and no one laughed at him, as if they had forgotten him.
After a long time, Xie Yi finally struggled to stand up and staggered away.
This scene fell into the eyes of many people in the corridor on the second floor.
Some people looked indifferently, some people couldn't bear to close the windows, and some people watched with interest and were amazed.
"Sir, Princess Changding's subordinates slapped Wuge people twice, and that's it...?" Pei Yanshan asked in a low voice.
Du Fengju glanced at him and said strangely: "Otherwise, what else can we do?"
That Wuge Captain dared to provoke His Highness Changding, shouldn't he deserve to be slapped twice?
Wuge failed to restrain its own people, and it was already wrong. How could he dare to say anything?
If Deputy Zheng hadn't responded quickly, Wu Ge might have had to apologize to His Highness Chang Ding.
That young captain...the grandson of Xie Hou, his behavior is really confusing.
Since the power and skills are inferior to others, why do you still do this?
Isn't this just sending him to the door to be beaten for nothing?
Du Fengju couldn't understand, but he knew that His Highness Chang Ding would definitely be happy to see this happen.
After all, no one would refuse if the other party offered to give someone his head.
Especially when she first came to Wuge, when she needed to establish her authority the most, Xie Yi did this. To her, it was like someone giving her a pillow when she fell asleep.
From this point of view, Xie Yi doesn't seem to want revenge, but he seems to be repaying a favor.
Pei Yanshan was no longer interested in Xie Yi, but asked: "Master, Princess Changding has gone far, then... should we still follow her?"
"Go, why not go?".
