Chapter 1427 Qiu Xinggong
As expected, as Qiu Shenji was imprisoned by Dali Temple, rumors that Fang Jun wanted to deal with Qiu Shenji out of jealousy quickly spread among cities and towns. In just two days, it became an uproar and everyone in Chang'an city knew about it.
Some say that Fang Jun is worthy of being a man. The woman he loves is about to get married and he wants to completely destroy Qiu Shenji in a fit of rage. Others say that Fang Jun has a personal revenge and it is unbearable to miss his sister-in-law...

In short, there are few good ones and many unpleasant ones.
However, what was unexpected was that whether it was His Majesty Li Er who loved his daughter so much, or his son Fang Xuanling who was involved in the whirlpool of public opinion, or even all the parties involved remained silent, and those who were interested seemed to have noticed the strangeness. , all kept silent and stayed out of the matter...
*****
Qinglongfang, the Qiu family mansion.
This square is located in the south and east of the city. It is in a remote location. It is not a prosperous place in the capital. Few dignitaries live here. Therefore, almost the entire inner square is occupied by two mansions. One is the Qiu family mansion in the east, which accounts for about one-third of the entire inner square. The second is the mansion of Yun Guogong Zhang Liang in the west, which accounts for 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 a smaller area, it is no less luxurious.
The entire courtyard is spacious, covering an area of more than four acres. There are tall locust trees and ancient willows in the courtyard, as well as dense forests of ancient cypresses and various flowers and trees dotting it. There is a half-acre pond with the Qujiang River crossing it. There are peach trees and weeping willows on the bank protection. There is a water pavilion on the pond. An arch bridge is built between the water pavilion and the bank of the pond. Lotus flowers are planted under the bridge.
Just after noon, there was a commotion of carriages and horses in front of the Qiu family's mansion, and then all the people in the mansion put down their work and went to the gate to greet him.
Qiu Xinggong, who was dressed in a military uniform, held a riding whip in one hand, and strode into the courtyard with a gloomy look. He turned a blind eye to the servants and maids who were greeting each other, and strode into the spacious and bright main hall.
With a "thunk" sound, Qiu Xinggong threw the riding whip on the table. He sat down on the chair with a big sword, his face was so gloomy that it could drip water, he looked at the family members in front of him coldly, and asked: "Tell me Well, what’s going on?”
Qiu Xinggong is just over fifty this year. He has square eyebrows and a square face. He has a strong physique and thick joints. He has a rough appearance like a tiger. The masculine and majestic aura he has cultivated in the army for many years is very real. He sits on the chair with raised eyebrows and eyes open. The Buddha is about to choose someone to devour...
Because of his many military exploits, General Zuo Wuhou was granted the title of governor of Hebei and Shaanxi Provinces. During these days, Shaanxi Province was flooded and the Yellow River burst its banks. Qiu Xinggong was leading his troops to station in Shaanxi Province, but unexpectedly he received a letter from home saying that his youngest son was the first. He made a big fuss at the Ministry of War and then rammed Princess Jinyang's car and was detained by Dali Temple and imprisoned, awaiting sentencing...
He was so frightened that he immediately ignored the need to sit in Shaanzhou to suppress the possible civil uprising and hurried back to the capital overnight.
It was nothing more than making a fuss at the Ministry of War, but ramming into the princess's car was a serious crime worthy of being sent to the army! What's more, the one who collided was the emperor's beloved Princess Jinyang's chariot? In the anger of the emperor, it is possible that he may be exiled to Qiongzhou and never be used again!
Qiu Shenji was brave and good at fighting, and he was the only one among the younger generations of the Qiu family who had the chance to inherit the family business. How could Qiu Xinggong just watch this young son who had high hopes ruin his future?
I can’t even care if I leave my post without permission...
But after I finished asking, I found a group of servants standing in the hall. They looked at me and couldn't say "Ziwu Maoyou" at all.
The Qiu family is based in Luoyang, which is the place of their ancestral home. Compared with the property in Chang'an, which was only purchased to deal with the communication between the DPRK and China, the manpower is relatively scarce, and there is a lack of smart people in charge, so that Something big has happened and I'm so confused that I can't receive any news...
Qiu Xinggong was furious. He glanced around and pointed at an ugly young man with his stubby finger: "Zhou Xing, tell me."
"Here!"
Zhou Xing stood out from the crowd.
The Zhou family is from Yongzhou, but the family is not prominent. It has always been dependent on the Qiu family, and its 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 recounted the sequence of events, and even the parts he had not seen personally were spoken in a conjecture tone.
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. Whether his son's punishment is light or heavy depends entirely on His Majesty's decision. 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, he still has to look at people, okay?
It’s really tricky now...
Zhou Xing blinked, intending to take credit, and then said cautiously: "My nephew has a plan, which may save Brother Qiu from punishment..."
Qiu Xinggong glared at him and said angrily: "If you have something to say, just say it, if you have something to say, just fart!"
Zhou Xing was most afraid of Qiu Xinggong. He was so frightened that he didn't dare to show off. He quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Yes, yes... Although Brother Qiu is in jail now, rumors have spread among the people in the city that this matter is true." Because Fang Jun was angry that Princess Changle was going to marry Brother Qiu, he was jealous Ru Kuang designed a frame-up... Regardless of whether this is true or not, if we use this as an opportunity to spread the word, Brother Qiu will definitely be able to take the initiative and win sympathy, and then gather some ministers to impeach Fang Jun for seeking personal gain with power and avenging private revenge, which will completely reverse the situation. .”
Qiu Shenji's collision with Princess Jinyang's car was a serious crime, but the punishment for such crimes depended on the emperor's will, and it was impossible for Dali Temple to be too involved. As long as Fang Jun can be portrayed as a big villain, Qiu Shenji will be the one framed by the design, which will definitely turn things around.
After all, with Qiu Xinggong here, the emperor would probably be embarrassed to punish Qiu Shenji severely even though he was framed, right?
Zhou Xing was secretly proud of his idea...
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Qiu Xinggong had already raised his eyebrows. He picked up the riding crop that was thrown on the table and whipped it over. He said angrily: "You bastard! Do you want to kill my son?!"
"Crack!"
Zhou Xing was caught off guard and was hit hard on the cheek by a riding crop. He screamed, covered his face and stepped back a few steps, but did not dare to run away. He said in a trembling voice: "Why did uncle hit me?"
Qiu Xinggong was furious. He stood up suddenly and whipped Zhou Xing across the head and face with a whip. He cursed at the same time: "You are the troublemaker. If it weren't for your instigation, what would happen to my son?" Able to run and fight If you don't go to the Ministry of War, how can you be beaten and humiliated by Fang Jun again and again, and even framed? If you come up with bad ideas, I will beat you to death!"
< br>
"Oh, uncle, please spare my life..."
Zhou Xing's face was covered in blood in just a few strokes. When he saw Qiu Xinggong's beard and halberd, he became so angry that he was so frightened that he ran away with his head in his hands, shouting for mercy.
This old guy dares to eat people's hearts and hearts, and he kills people with ruthless heart. If he doesn't hide, he can really beat him to death...
"Get out of here right now. If you come up with bad ideas, if you dare to show up in front of me again, I'll be careful to peel off your skin!"
Qiu Xinggong didn't want to beat Zhou Xing to death. He beat Zhou Xing for a while to get rid of his breath, then threw away the riding crop and went back to sit down, drinking a cup of tea in one gulp to calm his breath.
Zhou Xingru was granted amnesty and ran away with his face covered...
After drinking the tea, his depression gradually dissipated, and Qiu Xinggong thought 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 the Zhenguan plow, then the glass, and then it was the Dong Datang Company, the Royal Navy fleet... one after another, all of which were huge contributions. With all these achievements combined, Fang Jun has achieved great success and is almost invincible.
In Qiu Xinggong's view, the reason why he currently succumbs to the position of minister of the Ministry of War is to appease the Guanlong family, which was miserable and angry under Fang Jun's management. Secondly, because Fang Xuanling is still in power, the emperor deliberately Just suppressed.
Once Fang Xuanling becomes an official, it is almost inevitable that Fang Jun will be promoted to a higher position...
Under such circumstances, how difficult is it to rely on rumors to bring down Fang Jun?
As for gathering ministers to impeach Fang Jun... By the way, when has that mallet ever been afraid of impeachment?
The most undesirable thing about spreading rumors is that it not only throws dirty water on Fang Jun, but also ruins Princess Changle's reputation. Although the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was open, it was not surprising that there were rumors of affairs between unmarried women and men, especially the royal family, which was constantly in trouble. But as a father, how would His Majesty view this matter?
Getting angry is almost inevitable.
After much thought, Qiu Xinggong gave up his plan to find a few close friends to discuss a solution and decided to try his own method... (End of Chapter)
