Women dressed as men: powerful officials

Chapter 250 Letter to the Grand Marshal's Mansion

Xu Yuan could not answer Xie Xiaocheng’s question.

She just looked at the white world in front of her.

Suddenly, she wished that she had not made a wish, had not experienced that experience in her previous life, and would not have so much hatred in her heart.

She just does herself.

She can assist Bei Yao, be a free woman, and also be his most capable minister.

But she is not.

She is Xu Yuan, and she was born with the responsibility of redressing the Xu family's grievances.

Everything she experienced reminded her all the time that she needed revenge.

Xie Xiaocheng sighed softly and said, "The Third Prince has a kind character and knows how to handle things. If he takes that position, it will be a blessing for the people."

"I know." Xuyuan nodded.

The previous emperor was warlike, and the people were living in misery during his five years in power.

The current emperor is merciful and has not launched large-scale wars, but he is also powerless to stop the corruption in the court.

"Then you, don't you have any ideas?" Xie Xiaocheng didn't understand.

"I'm quite selfish. I just hope I can live a good life and get what I want."

Xie Xiaocheng was speechless.

The two walked in silence on the street until they were almost at Xu Yuan's house, when Xie Xiaocheng said, "Once the bandits in the south are eliminated, your brother will definitely be given an official position when he returns to Beijing. At that time, you will have to start making a choice."

Choose the crown prince or the third prince.

"I don't want to get involved in party disputes." Xu Yuan said, and suddenly stopped and said, "General Xie, may I trouble you for something?"

"what?"

"My brother's military achievements were also obtained by luck. He has a simple mind and is not suitable to stay in the capital as an official. If he is granted a title, please mediate and don't let him stay in the capital. If he really stays in the capital, please take care of his future career."

Xie Xiaocheng smiled and said, "Don't we still have you? With you here, what accidents can happen to your brother? Besides, your brother is not as ignorant of the ways of the world as you think."

"Hope." Xu Yuan nodded with a smile.

"I heard that you and Wu Shiming opened a shop? When will it open? I'll come and support you."

Xie Xiaocheng knew that Xu Yuan meant a lot to Bei Yao.

In Sishui County, Beiyao takes good care of Xu Yuan.

It was because of his wish that he had the opportunity to follow Bei Yao.

Therefore, you must never make enemies with Xu Yuan.

Hearing what Xie Xiaocheng said, Xu Yuan smiled and said, "It's a fabric shop. I hope General Xie can come to support it, but it's a place for women after all. The general should not go."

Xie Xiaocheng scratched his head and blushed: "That's true, don't disturb your guests."

"Thank you very much for your kindness, General."

Since they were already home, Xu Yuan didn't plan to say anything more and said goodbye to Xie Xiaocheng.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw Bei Yao sitting in the yard.

Make a wish and look around.

Bei Yao smiled and said, "No need to look for it, Chen Shan has sent it out. I came here to deliver a letter to you."

Beiyao glanced down and his eyes fell on the table.

Xu Yuan also looked over.

To be honest, it wasn't really a letter. It was crumpled and more like a ball of paper.

Xuyuan suddenly thought of something.

Bei Yao said: "In the past few days, the Imperial Guards have taken over the prison, and the prison is airtight. After you went to see Wei Chenyi today, Wei Chenyi tried to bribe a jailer to send a letter. I guess it has something to do with you, so I came to find you."

The letter was wrinkled and Beiyao didn't want to take it.

He made a wish: "I know what is written in this letter, and I also know where it is sent."

Bei Yao raised his eyebrows and deliberately asked, "You know?"

He had already read the contents of the letter.

Make a wish, make a home.

But he really didn't know who the letter was sent to.

Bei Yao was afraid that if the letter leaked out, Xu Yuan's identity would be exposed, so he did not take advantage of the situation but just took it away.

"Send it to the Taiwei Mansion." Xu Yuan sat down opposite Bei Yao.

"Appreciate further details."

"That day, Wei Chen wanted to send people to Tianlao to kill and silence the witnesses, but no matter how capable the people in the Imperial Censorate were, they were just servants. If something went wrong, they would not be able to do anything to Wei He. Therefore, there were two other people who were from the Song family."

Xu Yuan had never met those people, but she saw them when they were caught by Xie Xiaocheng.

Coincidentally, she knew one of them.

Wei Chen wanted to kill people to silence them because he was afraid that the Xu family's affairs would be exposed. Therefore, everyone involved in this incident was the murderer, including the Song family.

I didn’t understand the wish at first, but today I understand it all.

As long as the Xu family survives, other officials in the court will have to take a back seat.

Once the Xu family fell, almost all the civil and military officials in the court would be replaced.

If the Xu family had not gotten into trouble, Tianqi today could truly be said to be a place of peace and prosperity.

After hearing Xu Yuan's words, Bei Yao pondered for a moment and said, "So, your next target is the Song family?"

Xu Yuan slowly shook his head: "The Song family has already shot themselves in the foot. I don't need to do anything to them."

"So what's your next plan?"

Xu Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Run the shop well."

"You're not taking the national exam?" Bei Yao asked immediately.

If this is the case, making a wish would not be considered a crime of deceiving the emperor.

This is a good thing.

"It won't be too late for me to join after my brother has made great achievements. Besides, I can't enter Wenhua Palace, and it's very difficult to take the exam through the Poetry Pavilion. I have to accept my fate."

Bei Yao looked into Xu Yuan's eyes and always felt that Xu Yuan was lying to him.

But he didn't have any evidence.

Therefore, Bei Yao said: "The prince gave you the token, you can go to Wenhua Palace after the new year, no one will embarrass you, if there is any, you can find me, no need to worry."

Beiyao is still testing.

Test whether the wish has really been given up.

"Token..." Xu Yuan paused, then suddenly came to his senses: "I forgot about this."

Beiyao suddenly stopped talking.

Xu Yuan tried to make amends, "I really have forgotten. Since I can still go to Wenhua Palace, I will definitely go for the national exam. I will still participate."

Bei Yao sighed softly, secretly hating himself for bringing up this matter.

Maybe if I forget to make a wish, I will never take the national exam.

But if you make a vow not to take the national examination, then you will not have any chance to see the emperor.

"In that case, you should study hard and stop worrying about the shop. Wu Shiming is much smarter than you think. He said he wanted to open a shop, and he opened more than one."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"He and a businessman opened many shops in the capital. Although I don't know the exact number, there must be more than ten."

Bei Yao only learned about these things in the past two days.

After hearing Chen Shan's report, even though he was born into a royal family and was knowledgeable, he couldn't help but marvel at how powerful Wu Shiming was.

He lived a comfortable life because the royal family had no shortage of money.

But Wu Shiming was different. Not only did he start from scratch, he also bought half of the shops in the capital.

Although there are four classes of people: scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants are at the end.

But if Wu Shiming really succeeds in building up his business, who in the capital would not give Wu Shiming face?

Wu Shiming may be the next imperial merchant.

"I don't know." Xu Yuan shook his head.

Wu Shiming had never mentioned these things to her.

Bei Yao said faintly: "You will know on the fifteenth day."
