Chapter Seventy-Nine
Although Xia Liansheng was seriously ill and resting at home, the emperor ordered Xia Liansheng's position to be retained until he recovered, and he could return to the Ministry of Works. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info As for the thorough investigation that the emperor said before, after the criminal department had the results, he privately gave the emperor a secret fold, although Zhen Yunqi was fined some silver, but he was not sentenced, it seems that the eighth elder brother really saved him, as for whether anyone drugged the horse, and the final explanation, there is no follow-up. Three months is enough to make many people forget a lot of things. However, it is estimated that the only thing that cannot be forgotten is Kong Xiuxian, the good Qionglin banquet that night was postponed by the emperor because of Zhen Yunqi's troubles and Xia Liansheng's uncertain life and death, but it has been so long, no one has mentioned it again, and in another two years, it will be the year of Dabi, after the new champion is released, who can still remember him! Kong Xiuxian thought that he had always been a calm and beautiful man, but he didn't expect the reality to make him realize that his temper was not good. However, after Xia Liansheng found out, he said at most that he was cautious, and he didn't see the emperor to compensate you, Kong Xiuxian had already been arranged into the household department when Xia Liansheng got out of bed, although there were other reasons, but if it weren't for this incident, what kind of champion could enter the court so quickly to participate in political affairs? Don't you see the champion with a criminal record still studying for qualifications in the Hanlin Academy?
But Kong Xiuxian didn't think so, since that incident, almost everyone in the court has been watching his jokes, although his father's letter made him feel relieved, but he felt even more uncomfortable, he was like this since he was a child, his grandfather was the head of the family, and his style of acting has always been very strict. But his father is just the opposite, in his grandfather's words is not motivated, although his father is the most learned of several uncles and brothers, but he is indifferent by nature, he has no interest in being an official at all, his grandfather had to train him and several younger brothers from his generation, and finally he was admitted to the top and was ready to shine at the Qionglin banquet. But he was joined forces by the list of eyes and flowers, and he hated it to death, and his colleagues in the court were watching jokes, especially these old seniors in the Hanlin Academy, who were not strong in ability, and had the strongest mouth cannon ability, and he couldn't stay in the Hanlin Academy anymore. Fortunately, the eldest brother threw an olive branch to him, and he left the Hanlin Courtyard so quickly and went to the household department. However, the eldest brother didn't want him to reciprocate, just asked him to do a good job for the emperor, the eldest brother is really a good person, much better than the prince who has no sense of existence!
In fact, it can't be said that the prince has no sense of existence, it's just that he is secretly holding back his big moves. Why did Zhen Yunqi dare to shoot Xia Liansheng's horse with a hidden weapon in public, and the eldest brother happened to poison the horse? All this seems to be a mistake caused by the inadvertent actions of the eldest brother and Zhen Yunqi, but in fact, it is in the hands of the prince, and he also wants to test the loyalty of the eighth brother to him, and when he finds out that Zhen Yunqi carries out his orders to the letter, he trusts the eighth brother even more. The prince's plan was that after the horse went crazy at that time, if Xia Liansheng couldn't ride a horse, he would be trampled to death by the crazy horse at that time, and if he could do it a little, it would be like this time, he would be thrown to death. However, he didn't expect that when the horse went crazy, he happened to meet Tuya, Tuya helped Xia Liansheng control the horse, and then he didn't expect that the emperor would investigate the matter thoroughly for Xia Liansheng, so on the bright side, the eldest brother and the eighth elder brother were not implicated, in fact, the emperor had already found out about the prince's head, so he snubbed the prince, and the prince knew that it was not good, so he was silent for a few days, but he was misunderstood by Kong Xiuxian and had no sense of existence, I have to say that Kong Xiuxian is actually the same as Xia Liansheng, they are both young newcomers in officialdom, and the new ones can't be new. And don't look at the prince is silent, but he has gained a lot, Xia Liansheng is the same as the thirteenth among the younger brothers, especially the fourth person, give him a lesson to realize who is the prince This is the harvest on the surface, and the harvest behind the scenes is that his eighth brother is very loyal to him, although I don't know if these gains are really gains.
Among the news that Lin Ruhai brought to Xia Liansheng, the most important one was to start cleaning up the matter of borrowing silver from the household department, since the emperor replied to Wei Dongting's matter, the fourth elder brother began to take a tough attitude to clean up the silver owed by the household department, and the first to bear the brunt was of course the household department. The fourth elder brother said that as an official of the household department, he should lead by example, so he invited them to the main hall for tea every day to discuss when they could pay off the money. Of course, all the officials were crying in unison, one crying harder than the other, but fortunately, some people were still timid, and there were also many people who owed not much money, so there were still people who gradually began to repay the loans. However, some diehards actually went to the emperor to tell the emperor to get old, but fortunately, the emperor also wanted to recover the arrears as soon as possible, so he directly approved it. It is because of this that there are suddenly a lot of vacancies in the household department, which makes the Hou Guan's people excited, many people got the news and immediately stuffed the silver to the ministry, and immediately got the official, Zhang Xuan also took this opportunity to quickly stuff the silver into the household department, although it is not his ideal Ministry of Rites, but a big man lives in a friend's house every day, relying on the family to earn money to support, he still feels a burden in his heart.
This group of people who think that the law does not blame the public has to be messy together, but since the emperor has approved it, you can't go back and say that I actually want freedom of speech, I came here to demonstrate, so it is estimated that I will directly raid the house, so I have to sort out my baggage and prepare to go home. Who knows, but it was stopped at the city gate, the fourth elder brother has notified the city gates, these people can't leave the capital if they don't pay off their debts, if they really don't have money, they can write an IOU, stamp their handprints and leave Beijing. If someone at the city gate releases water or falsifies an IOU, whoever collects the IOU is responsible for repaying the IOU on his behalf. The soldiers defending the city have so much money every day except for squeezing some oil and water from the passing people, so this order was carried out very thoroughly.
I lost my job for the demonstration, and if I don't pay back the money, I may not be allowed to go home, these people have the heart to go to the emperor to make trouble again, but now they are no longer officials, and they can't see the emperor. I still don't have the courage to knock, so the arrears of the household department have been repaid a lot, and only some diehards in high positions are still drinking tea with the fourth elder brother every day, smiling and talking about current affairs.
When Xia Liansheng knew, he felt that the fourth elder brother was really ruthless, but the emperor was also very interesting, and the scroll he gave the emperor was not just a method of replacing silver with a house, and the emperor still felt that he couldn't be too powerful to cause a backlash and was embarrassed to use it. He secretly thought, if the fourth elder brother is the emperor, I believe he must be the kind of person who you dare to play with me, and I will play you to death, this volume can be extended to more terrifying means in minutes. But this is just thinking about it, judging from the burning bubbles of the thirteenth elder brother who occasionally came to see him, I know that in fact, it is very stressful to invite the officials of the household department to drink tea, and now other departments are watching, if the household department does not produce results, those ministers will have to carry it to the end, it is estimated that things will be more tricky.
