Chapter 225:-for-tat

"Brother Meng. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Seeing that although Meng Chun looked embarrassed, the anxiety and grief on his face could not be concealed, and Yao Guangkun's delicate eyebrows were also tangled together.

Although General Meng is a military general, his temperament is extremely kind, and he is good at kung fu, and he is also quite experienced in arranging troops and arranging formations, when he returned to Beijing in previous years, because the two families were relatively close, Yao Guangkun did not come to the door to seek advice, General Meng readily agreed, taught with heart, and said that he was Yao Guangkun's half of the master is not an exaggeration.

What's more, Yao Guangkun and Meng Chun have grown up together since childhood, so Meng Chun's worries at this time Yao Guangkun also empathizes, and he is also worried about General Meng who is guarding in southern Yunnan these days, not much less than Meng Chun.

Lu Shuo was sitting opposite Yao Guangkun, supporting the table with one elbow, half-covering his face with a cup, quietly observing the expressions of Yao Guangkun and Meng Chun, and when he saw that the two of them looked sad, and Yao Guangkun had a more comforting look on his face, Lu Shuo suddenly said, it seems that it is rumored that Yao Guangkun and Meng Chun have a close relationship, and it is really not to say.

Yao Guangkun didn't have time to pay attention to what the three people sitting opposite him were thinking at this time, he stretched out his hand, patted Meng Chun's shoulder, and personally poured a cup of tea and handed it to Meng Chun.

The tea soup was clear and blue, with two brown tea leaves floating on it, and the originally crumpled tea leaves slowly stretched out under the soaking of the tea, Meng Chun looked down, and his brows gradually relaxed.

"Brother Meng doesn't have to worry too much about uncle, now the relationship between our Daqi and Dazhao is tense, Marquis An Yuan is a bastard, and it is impossible for His Majesty to clean him up at this time, Uncle Meng will not have any worries about his life for the time being. It's not a good thing that you, for the sake of Uncle Meng's affairs these days, have not thought about tea and dinner, are in a trance, and have even relaxed down in their daily studies! You are the eldest son in the family, and Uncle Meng is in danger, so you should show some manly spirit, stand up to the door, and wait with your aunt and a few younger brothers and sisters ......in peace."

That being said, where is it so easy to resolve the worries and worries of your loved ones?

Meng Chun shifted his gaze from the clear tea soup, first projected it on Yao Guangkun, saw the worry on his face, and then turned to the few people sitting opposite, although they didn't know how true or false, but they were also the same as Yao Guangkun, all of them looked embarrassed to comfort but couldn't speak.

Seeing this, although Meng Chun was still depressed in his heart, it was not good because he had ruined everyone's Yaxing, so he couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth and smile.

Meng Chun didn't let go of his knot, and the rest of the people naturally saw it.

Cai Xingpei said: "Brother Yao is right, Marquis Anyuan guards one side, His Majesty will not easily move him, the same, in recent years, our Daqi has been peaceful and peaceful, politically harmonious, and the national strength is thriving, Marquis Anyuan has been immersed in the court for many years, the gap between him and the entire Great Qi, it is impossible for Marquis Anyuan not to see it, if there is no opportunity, he naturally does not dare to act rashly, this time, in my opinion, is just a thunder and rain, it is really insignificant, Brother Meng can put his heart back in his stomach." ”

"Not bad!" Lu Shuo saw that Meng Chun's smile was more ugly than crying, the corners of his mouth twitched, but his words softened.

"Moreover, General Meng has made a lot of achievements, and for the people of southern Yunnan, his prestige is not much worse than that of Marquis Anyuan, that is, in the future, southern Yunnan and Daqi will be short-handed, and Marquis Anyuan may not dare to really do anything to General Meng, not to mention ruining his reputation, and it is very likely to shake the hearts of the people...... Although the younger brother has never seen An Yuanhou, he is also a very shrewd person from the rumors, and An Yuanhou will not do this kind of self-destruction of the Great Wall. ”

From the current situation of the dynasty and the situation in southern Yunnan, to the small character of Marquis An Yuan, several people have analyzed it all over again, although the boredom in Meng Chun's heart will not be swept away, but it is almost gone.

He raised the teacup in his hand, saluted, and said: "If you care, you will be in chaos, and I am grateful to you to help solve it. ”

With that, he raised his head and drank a cup of tea.

Although he drank tea, he drank the momentum of the second pot, Lu Shuo couldn't help but sigh, it was really a general, although Meng Chun is now studying and preparing to become an official in the imperial examination, but the heroism and heartiness in his bones have not changed.

Seeing this, the rest of the people naturally did not delay, and followed Meng Chun to drink the tea in the cup.

This teahouse is not high-end, but it is better than the high terrain and wide field of vision, and a few people came out today, originally to watch the supervision and trial team of the Hebei Provincial Salt Transport Case, so after a few people comforted Meng Chun a few words, the topic naturally turned to the Qin Cha this time.

"Lord Chen has been serving in the General Administration Department, this General Administration Department is only responsible for uploading and disseminating, and there has never been a precedent for judging a case, Your Majesty sent Lord Chen to Hebei Province, you say, can he really handle this errand?"

As a few people talked, Cai Xingpei suddenly spoke.

When Lu Shuo heard this, his hand holding the teacup couldn't help but stagnate.

He looked at Cai Xingpei and saw that he was still smiling, looking like a prodigal child, and what he said just now seemed to be just casually.

Lu Shuo's face remained unchanged, but he sneered in his heart.

The prince has not yet ascended the throne, the Chen Mansion and the Cai Mansion are already in a hurry to attack each other, the two main forces are so face-to-face and heart-to-heart, no wonder there is a preference of Emperor Hui Chong over the years, but Prince Xuande can still only have a tie with the four princes.

"Since the Holy Lord personally appointed Lord Chen, he naturally has the intention of the Holy One, and your words are a bit arrogant!"

Xie Liao listened to Cai Xingpei's question, which seemed to be true or false, and his face immediately fell, a little unhappy.

"Besides, Lord Chen has been in politics for many years, and now he is in charge of the position of the Secretary of General Affairs, and the internal and external recitals that pass through his hands every day are not ordinary, and the experience in this matter is naturally much richer, and this matter in Hebei Province is not a big trouble for him, and Lord Chen can naturally handle it properly......"

Lu Shuo didn't speak when he heard this, and looked at Cai Xingpei's deflated appearance, and laughed secretly in his heart.

He turned his head to look at Xie Yan again, and saw that he still looked indignant, but his royal cultivation and innate nobility made his interrogation at this time not seem aggressive, but looked polite.

Lu Shuo was silent, this Xie Liao deserved to be the son of Fuwangfu, and his father's attitude towards the world was really in the same vein.

Compared to the Cai Mansion, the Chen Mansion was much closer and more important to Prince Xuande, and Xie Li's return to protect Emperor Hui Chong and Lord Chen was just a sign of his respect for the royal family.

It is not without reason that the Fuwang Mansion has been able to stand for so many years.

Cai Xingpei was refuted, although he was not angry, but because of Xie Li's identity, he didn't dare to talk more.

……

What Xie Lian said is true, Hebei Province is really handy for Lord Chen to deal with this matter.

It's not that Lord Chen is strong in ability and how powerful his means are, but because of the Hebei Provincial Salt Transportation Case, which officials and forces are secretly involved, and how many salt farms have been made by the public and private authorities, Lord Chen has already had a rough idea in his heart.

Before coming, he deliberately flipped through the account books and personnel arrangements and the layout of the salt field in Hebei Province, so he had a deeper understanding, and he secretly asked someone to hand over a few posts to the queen's palace, and got a letter from Queen Chen.

What he has to worry about now is how to make the subordinate officials who made mistakes under his arrangement take the initiative to take responsibility, make this matter a big deal, remove Prince Xuande from the salt transportation case, and maximize the interests of the Chen family and Prince Xuande in Hebei Province.

In addition, he must always be vigilant against Zou Yuanzhang, the imperial historian of Hebei Province.

Zou Yuanzhang! This is Gao Zhuo's son-in-law, not to mention Gao Zhuo's nostrils, the leper man sent by Prince Xuande to intercept and kill in March was later found out by secret guards that he was Zou Yuanzhang's staff.

Since Zou Yuanzhang has long discovered the strangeness of the salt transportation in Hebei Province, and sent someone to risk his life to report to Gao Zhuo, it can be seen that he wanted to expose this case from the beginning to bring down Prince Xuande, and now Emperor Hui Chong finally sent Qin to investigate the matter, if he didn't get in the way and make things bigger, it would be really strange!

The north is different from the south, at this time the south has not yet been developed due to natural geographical obstacles, the transportation is inconvenient, not as well as the north waterway is developed, the river transportation is convenient, so when the messenger to the Jokhang is still on the road, this line of officials has taken a fast boat, after only more than ten days to arrive at the Hebei Road.

The prefect Lu Yun had already returned to Beijing to resume his life, so this group was received by the governor of Huaizhou and arranged to enter the prefect's official office in Hebei Province.

On the second day of arriving in Huaizhou, Chen Bingshi gathered all the adults on the jury early in the morning and prepared to 'discuss' how to investigate and deal with the matter, but before he could speak, a small official came from outside to report, saying that Lord Zou Yuanzhang Zou had arrived from Cangzhou by boat early.

Like Yuan Zheng, Zou Yuanzhang still set up the Salt Patrol Imperial History Mansion in Cangzhou, from Cangzhou to Huaizhou, although the distance is not far, and the water transportation is convenient, but there is a lot of delay on the road.

Because of this, Chen Bingshi was surprised, he had long known that Zou Yuanzhang was coming, but he really didn't expect that this Zou Yuanzhang would come so early, and while being vigilant, he secretly sneered.

It seems that this Gao Zhuo and Zou Yuanzhang are really evil, and if they don't use this to rectify the princelings, they will not give up.

However, since His Majesty arranged for him to be this mission, naturally everything should be based on his opinion, so he would not be afraid of this Zou Yuanzhang, if Zou Yuanzhang didn't know how to provoke him, it was not impossible for him to even convict Zou Yuanzhang.

After all, although Zou Yuanzhang came to supervise the imperial history of salt inspection, there are not a few supervision officials in this history who know the law and break the law, and who guard and steal from themselves......

Thinking of this, Chen Bingshi quickly turned a few corners in his mind, stopped his feet to greet him, turned to the public office in the main hall and sat down, and motioned for the remaining officials to sit quietly, waiting for the little officials to welcome Zou Yuanzhang in.

The officials below couldn't help but look at each other.

What does this mean, Lord Chen?

Although they are Qincha, but this Lord Zou is a third-grade official position, which is higher than any of them here, if they don't go out to greet each other, and leave a disrespectful and domineering reputation not to mention for the time being, wouldn't they offend Lord Zou?

Everyone was hesitating, and the little officials outside had already led Master Zou in.

Zou Yuanzhang has clear eyebrows, medium stature, and a little fat, as soon as he came in, he opened his mouth and smiled: "All the adults are really conscientious, this is the first day of arriving in Hebei Province is so busy, the official has just stood outside, and he has not waited for the adults to greet him in person, he is still a little uncomfortable, I didn't expect you to gather here to discuss business, but it is the heart of the villain! Haha, I didn't disturb you!"

The irony in these words was very obvious, and everyone present understood it, and many officials sitting at the bottom looked at this and that, and saw that none of them was easy to exonerate, so they couldn't help but laugh in the round.

Zou Yuanzhang turned a deaf ear to these reactions, he raised his eyebrows, glanced at Lord Chen at the top, walked straight to a position on the left side, and lifted the hem of his clothes to sit down.

Today's play, who is the hand, Zou Yuanzhang can see it at a glance.

He just thought it was a little funny, this Chen Bingshi was also a fourth-grade Beijing official and the prince's uncle, and he actually did such a foolish thing, like a lady in the back house, trying in vain to give himself a dismount, I really don't know what to do.

"Lord Zou!" Zou Yuanzhang was about to sit down, but Chen Bingshi, who was sitting at the top, suddenly raised his hand and stopped Zou Yuanzhang's movements.

Zou Yuanzhang stood up again, swept towards Chen Bingshi with sharp eyes, and asked, "I don't know what Master Chen has to say?"

"I can't talk about it," Chen Bingshi smiled, "Besides, in front ......of you, how dare a lower official?"

How dare you?

If you really didn't dare, you wouldn't have regarded him as nothing just now, so rude.

Thinking of this, Zou Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows and looked at Chen Bingshi.

Chen Bingshi was still smiling, but his eyes were like poisonous snakes, staring at Zou Yuanzhang, and said word by word: "Although the official rank is lower than yours, he is the official designated by His Majesty personally. Lord Zou, you are a salt inspector in Hebei Province, but such a major salt transportation case has occurred under your rule, you can't get rid of it......"

Speaking of this, Chen Bingshi shook his head as if he was sad and guilty, looking helpless.

"What does Master Chen mean by this?" Zou Yuanzhang said angrily, but there was no trace of anger on his face.

Chen Bingshi would have this reaction, which he had expected.

"What do you mean?" Chen Bingshi smiled when he heard this, and raised his voice slightly, "The meaning is very simple, you are now the person involved in the salt transportation case and the key suspect of this case, and it is really inappropriate to sit here and listen to the government, so this official asks Lord Zou to move ......"

When the words fell, the officials under him all whispered.

Chen Bingshi suddenly made this out, which was really unexpected by everyone.
