This topic turned to Du Weiwei by surprise, "...... Well, because the people take food as their heaven, of course a holy monarch should care about the things that the people are most concerned about......"

He said: "No, in the final analysis, I am afraid that they will rebel, and I want to sit firmly in the country." ”

"Huh?"

"The people are actually very coaxing, unlike their colleagues who are officials, who ask for power and money from the court, and when they ask for money, they want more...... Most of the people are very simple, they know that it is good if the court does not exploit them ruthlessly, so as long as they are well fed and clothed, and create a 'peaceful and prosperous world' for them, they will farm with peace of mind, pay taxes according to the rules, and sing praises for the emperor, and they will not care who the emperor is, and naturally they will not oppose who is the emperor, nor will they inquire about who is in power in the court, and they don't even know who the prime minister is. If they don't care and don't understand, we will be able to make mistakes, and there will be no scholars who write sour poems to scold the court, even if someone scolds, it is a sober minority, we can define these few as 'thieves', accusing them of not being grateful and having a wrong mind, and there will be people who will help us accuse them of ......"

"Help us accuse them? Do we need to induce them?"

"No, the people are something we can't induce, they know that what the 'few' said is right, they don't blame those people for scolding the court, but blame them for telling the facts—facts that have nothing to do with themselves. Everybody is dreaming, can the person who wakes up first be able to make a loud noise to wake up others? That's very rude. In the 'peaceful and prosperous times', most of the people are very fragile, like children who are asleep, they cannot hear sharp voices. ”

"So we have to feed them. This is why I advocate commercial reform and political reform? These are all measures to rescue in a hurry, and His Majesty understands it, so he will still approve of it even though he knows that the sacrifice is great. He wants to be the Holy Lord of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"What about you, Doctor Gu? Why are you?

"A lot, a lot, a lot, a lot of sacrifices. He raised his glass, "Master Du, you must not want to be something that Gu 'sacrificed' out, right?"

Du was slightly stunned for a long time, "Doctor Gu...... Got it all?"

"Doctor Gu, you must protect me! I was bewitched by Yang Longxing!

Gu Qingxuan touched the wine glass he put on the case, looked at Du Wanwei, who was lying on the ground in a panic and begging for mercy, and said: "Don't be afraid of Master Du, Gu has already grasped the truth, whoever has the most crimes, just know it in your heart." I just wanted to have a drink with you tonight and talk to you about the truth by the way, that's all. ”

On the second day, Du gradually folded the report and impeached Yang Longxing.

……

They were discussing the change of officials, Gu Qinghuan put forward a new proposition, Fang Liang expressed his disapproval, the discussion was fruitless, Gu Qinghuan raised his hand to let the other officials in the public house retreat, leaving only the chief clerk He Shi'an, and Fang Liang.

In front of the people, he was still giving Gu Qinghuan face, and his words were more tactful, but at this time, he was even more calm, and asked directly: "Why does the imperial court want to spend money to fund any scholars? And is it in the current situation, when the treasury is so tight? ”

Gu Qinghuan replied: "Because I want to prevent them from rebelling." He was looking at the revised regulations for the reform of officials, and his tone was a little careless.

"Huh?" Fang Liang and He Shi'an were obviously stunned, not knowing what he was doing, Fang Liang even leaned over and asked carefully: "My lord, are you...... Have you ever drunk at noon?"

Gu Qinghuan glanced at him coldly, sat up straight, and leaned back in the chair, his face was not very good, and his patience was less, but he still told Fang Liang his opinion: "Fang Shilang, you and I are both admitted to the imperial examination, as a former scholar, you should still remember the hardships you worked hard to gain fame, right?"

Fang Liang was silent and listened to him, but he remembered that He Shi'an, who was present, was also from the imperial examination, in order not to ignore his brother-in-law, he added a sentence in time and asked, "Shi'an, are you too?"

He Shi'an was still a little confused, and replied: "No, I don't have to study hard, my father is a general, and my grandfather is a bachelor's scholar, three months before participating in the imperial examination, they invited five bachelors who had participated in the imperial examination to give me classes in turn, and then ...... I was admitted to the ......" I felt that something was wrong, the atmosphere seemed to be a little embarrassing, I seemed to have dismantled my brother-in-law's stage, and hurriedly added: "Yes! Those three months were really hard!"

There are five teachers, more than a dozen people to serve, and the kind of hard work that is rich in food and clothing......

Gu Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, almost lost his laughter, held back, and as if nothing had happened just now, he coughed and said: "I mean, if all the people in the world study with peace of mind, and take it as their first life ideal to gain fame and become an official in the court, then they will not think about anything else, and they will no longer have the heart to write any sour poems and scold the court, so they will naturally settle down, even they have confessed their hearts to the court, why worry about the people of the world against the court? Who else will rebel?" Even if there is, it's just some ignorant and reckless people, and it's much easier to deal with. Isn't the world too peaceful? Isn't Daqi prosperous?"

"Huh?" Fang Liang felt himself hit again.

Hearing these words, he didn't feel chilled for the world's scholars, but suddenly realized that he thought that he had become an official like this, and he was already cunning to see through the world, but he didn't expect Gu Qinghuan's mind to be even more vicious than his treacherous.

But, think about it, it's all the truth! It's just that only Gu Qinghuan said it.

Gu Qinghuan knocked on the stage a few times and pulled his attention back, "Therefore, I want to propose that the imperial court allocate a sum of money every year to fund the scholars who have entered the examination, and extend the reference time limit, they can receive silver to study in the imperial court five years in advance, and they also have the money to go to Chang'an to catch the examination, in this way, can they not be grateful to the imperial court? This amount of silver will not be a lot, but it is the livelihood of those poor scholars for a year, and they have to die for the imperial court for this? What else is there to spare and idle there?" Therefore, for the sake of the stability of the Great Qi Society, for the sake of nothing in the world, and for the stability of the imperial court, this money should be spent, and it is worth sending! Of course, I will not say this tomorrow in the court, I will say, 'Everything is inferior, only reading is high,' 'Cultivating talents for the imperial court,' and 'Conquering the hearts of the people for Your Majesty.' ”

Fang Liang was speechless, stunned for a while, nodded convincingly, and only said: "Your Excellency is wise......"

"Huh?" Gu Qinghuan felt a little uncomfortable when he heard these four words.

He didn't bother to continue the discussion with Fang Liang, after all, his expectation for Fang Liang was obedience, not understanding, and he couldn't explain to others that his seemingly hasty proposal had been carefully considered.

He wasn't in the mood for that......

This is the third day of Yang Rong'an's death.

He realized that he couldn't act like nothing had happened.

He often watched his hands lose their minds, and they were no longer the hands of a scholar with a pen and a book, but the hands of a bloodthirsty murderer.

Yang Rongan's death and Jiang Xiange's encounter have always dealt him a huge blow.

They seem to be like this all the time, rarely revealing their breakdowns, the things that affect them the most and make them the most difficult to get rid of, they will choose to do nothing, put it aside, and go on their own way, doing what they think should be done. Let those unspeakable sorrows take root in my heart, grow, and torment myself as I move forward.

"It's just that, Lord Shangshu, it may be difficult for the household department to pass this regulation......" After Fang Liang retired, He Shi'an said what Fang Liang didn't dare to say.

Gu Qinghuan rubbed his tired eyes with both hands, "What if...... Am I the head of the household?"

He Shi'an was shocked, and suddenly figured out why Yang Longxing was suspended for investigation on charges of corruption yesterday......

Gu Qinghuan put down his hand and smiled at him, as if he saw through what he was thinking: "Yang Rong'an is dead, the Yang family we have to deal with is gone, Yang Longxing is greedy when he shouldn't be greedy, then he can only die when he should die......"

……

When He Luoke went to Jiangyue Tower, Jiang Hechuan seemed to be a little anxious and worried, he was anxious that Yang Longxing had been investigated, and he was afraid that he would confess him, he was worried that his son-in-law was killed, his daughter was physically and mentally injured, and he seemed to be ten years old these days.

Since he received the news that Jiang Xiange had an accident, and went to Yang's house to pick up his daughter and Tang Huan, the Gu family has come to see it, He Luoke suddenly came to the door alone on this day, he was puzzled, but He Luoke really didn't mean anything else, she was really worried about Jiang Xiange, and wanted to accompany her and talk to her-

Yes, that's right, by this time, she found that she had nowhere to tell what she was saying, but this Jiang Xian Ge, who was the farthest away from her, had become her sustenance to some extent.

"Do you know that I've been blaming you all along? Sister Xiange, when I got married to Qinghuan, why didn't you come to drink our wedding wine? I have always remembered it, and I want to ask you to understand...... That's right, it's me who is quite unreasonable and has a small belly...... It's just that...... I came when you got married...... Well, I almost kidnapped you, but in the end, I got married, didn't you? You also encouraged me to grasp happiness, so that I had the courage to approach him and confess my heart to him......"

Jiang Xiange sat on the bed with her knees crossed, wearing only underwear, He Luoke put a warm cloak on her, sat next to her and helped her comb her hair one by one.

She didn't say a word, she didn't react all the time, and those beautiful eyes were like a dry black wellhead at the moment, bottomless, and without a look.

Dr. Zhang said that she may have suffered a head injury that caused her to become delirious and wondered if she could recover.

What's more, she woke up in a pool of Yang Rongan's blood, and the stimulation was not small, and it was normal for her to be unable to slow down for a while.

"Actually, now that I think about it, the day you got married, I should have taken you captive, like that...... You wouldn't have the tragedy of today, and I won't be thinking about it...... Something that doesn't belong to me in the first place...... As a result, we are all forcing ourselves to force others to ......" He Luoke put hairpins on her hairpins, and the lower part of her hair was draped, and she didn't plan to comb it all.

She was talking to Jiang Xiange, I don't know if she can listen to it, but she just keeps talking and forgiving. Obviously, the two most irrelevant people have become each other's bosom friends at this moment.

There was a knock on ...... door.

Jiang Hechuan called outside the door: "Young Lady Gu......"

He Luoke got out of bed when he heard the sound, put on a cloak and a quilt for Jiang Xiange, and then went to open the door, "Uncle Jiang, what's wrong?"

Jiang Hechuan looked worried, and after the door opened, he subconsciously glanced at Jiang Xiange in the house, his eyes were distressed, and then he came back to his senses, showing an anxious look, and said to He Luoke: "I just got the news, Qinghuan was summoned for trial by the Criminal Department......

"What?" He Luoke was shocked, closed the door, and talked with Jiang Hechuan in a no-man's place under the corridor, "How could the Criminal Department summon him for trial?

Hearing that she asked this question in a hurry without asking why it was arraigned, Jiang Hechuan vaguely guessed something, his face immediately changed, and he asked her in a suppressed voice: "Is Qinghuan really related to Rong An's death?"

He Luoke shuddered and covered up in a panic: "What? Uncle, I don't know what you mean? What do you mean when you say he was summoned for trial?"

Jiang Hechuan said with a cold face: "There is a Yang family who testified to the Criminal Department that Qing Huan sneaked into the Yang Mansion and killed my son-in-law Rong An......"

He ...... "He Luoke is not a complete Gu family after all, he has not yet cultivated to the point where his face does not change his color and his heart does not beat, and he will not be able to hold on after two or three strokes, and he is anxious and weak at this time, and he finally finds some reason, which is both a question and a change of topic: "Uncle, who accused him? What is the evidence?"

"It was Rong An's concubine who went to the criminal department to give evidence and accusations, and the evidence was a small jade bottle pendant with a charge of medicine carried by Qing Huan, which was found at the scene of the murder ......" In fact, when it came to this, Jiang Hechuan knew that his speculation was inseparable, and he believed that there must be a hidden secret, but he couldn't accept that it was Gu Qinghuan who made his young daughter a widow!

He Luoke suddenly felt cold for a moment, regardless of the fact that it was always Gu Qinghuan who had the upper hand, she thought about it, simply didn't say anything, and immediately said goodbye to Jiang Hechuan and left Jiang Yuelou.

She rode a horse and galloped towards the Criminal Department, but she didn't see Gu Qinghuan, but she saw Gu Qingning.

Gu Qingning told her that Gu Qinghuan had just finished being interrogated by Shangshu of the Criminal Department, because she was a relative and could not participate in the trial, and she believed that Qinghuan had absolutely not divulged anything unfavorable to her, this was only the first interrogation, and it had not been confirmed, Gu Qinghuan was still safe, but because he was involved in the murder, he was suspended, and he should have gone home by this time.

He Luoke knew that Gu Qingning must know the truth of the matter, so he asked her: "Does he have a way to get away with it? Do you have a way?"

"Yes, but it's hard. Gu Qingning said frankly, "The next step is to further collect evidence, if it is determined that the testimony is true, he will not escape responsibility, and the three divisions will ......be tried at that time."

She said it so seriously, and said that Sangu was stumped like this. They knew that as long as they wanted to, all this was not irreversible, so Gu Qingning was not very desperate......

But He Luoke didn't know.

He Luoke didn't listen to her anymore, turned around and left, leaving Gu Qingning's waiter.

She walked out of the official office of the Criminal Department, walked out of the road by herself with her head down, and then suddenly paused and walked back, looking like she had no hesitation.

He Luoke came to the gate of the official office of the criminal department again, this time not as a visitor, but stopped at the door and sounded the drum of reporting the case in front of the criminal department.

She was taken into the official office of the Criminal Department, and according to the process, she went straight to the court of the Lang Court for trial, and Gu Qingning sat in the court.

When Gu Qingning saw her kneeling in the hall, she was dumbfounded, and said disrespectfully, "What are you going to do?"

She bowed respectfully, and said solemnly in the public court: "The people's woman He Luoke came to surrender. It was I who killed Yang Rong'an, the former attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and left the jade bottle pendant as evidence at the scene of the murder!
