Chapter 090: Rumors Rise
"I never thought that such a change had happened in the capital, alas, I pity a few university scholars and the elders of the Hanlin Academy, and they were actually harmed by those chaotic ministers and thieves. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Political envoy Meng Bu put down the newspaper in his hand, looked at the direction of the capital, and sighed faintly.
"But no, who would have thought that Prince Yan, who has always been sick and weak, would kill the king and seize the throne? and the former southwest general Qi Lingyuan, who was also mixed with the Tartars,"
A white-faced and beardless forty-year-old man followed, "I think back to the time when Wu Xianggong followed Grandpa Gao to fight in the south and the north, and I don't know how many Tartars he killed. Subsequently, the Marquis of Pingxi (that is, Qi Lingyuan's father Qi Keng) drove the Tartars from Yunnan, Guizhou and other places out of the southwest. Alas, it's a pity that the world is impermanent, and the two old generals couldn't imagine that their descendants would be so 'unscrupulous'. β
"Sir seems to be pointing something."
Envoy Meng Bu is not a fool, so he can naturally hear the meaning of his friends.
He pondered for a moment and asked slowly, "Sir, is he worriedβ"
The white-faced man quietly looked at the northeast direction, and said as if talking to himself: "Qi County Commander is still in Wumeng right now, right?" Although Qi Lingyuan's branch has been divided, however, he can't write two Qi characters in one stroke, and Qi Jinzhi, as the nephew of the traitor, now crosses the rank and temporarily takes the position of Wumeng prefect, which seems to be a little inappropriate. β
The envoy also fell into deep thought.
A few days ago, he was willing to 'recommend' Qi Jinzhi to go to Wumeng, firstly, to repay Qi Jinzhi's favor, after all, they saved their family's life.
The second is to value Qi Jinzhi's ability, no matter what, Qi Jinzhi is capable, and he has some means to lead the army to fight, let him go to Wumeng, so that he can control the situation in Wumeng.
Sanlai, although the Qi family was defeated, news came from Beijing, saying that Qi Jinzhi's lady Gu was deeply liked by Master Miaozhen.
Who is Miao Zhen?
As a courtier who is valued today, the political envoy Meng Bu knows it well, so he wants to sell Qi Jin.
It would be even better if I could use this to get in touch with Master Miaozhen.
However, he never thought that there would be a coup d'Γ©tat in Beijing, and the main envoys would still be Qi Jinzhi's grandmother and uncle.
On the surface, the Eastern Qi sect was divided, and the disaster was not as good as that of the Western Qi, and the imperial court did not implicate Qi Jinzhi, and even let him continue to be an official in Wusa.
In fact, no one dares to pack a ticket.
The political envoy Meng Bu couldn't help but worry that now the imperial court was busy thoroughly investigating the anti-thieves and the same party and pacifying the situation, and it was estimated that he would not have the energy to take care of anything else.
But once the saint has free his hands and has time to pay attention to the chaotic southwest, he will find Qi Jinzhi's 'fish that has slipped through the net'.
It's really hard to say what will happen to Qi Jinzhi at that time.
Of course, whether Qi Jinzhi will be liquidated or not has nothing to do with Meng Bu's political envoy, after all, Qi Jinzhi's visit to Wusa was appointed by the imperial court.
But the problem now is that not long ago, the political envoy Meng Bu had just 'recommended' Qi Jinzhi to go to the Wumeng Temporary Acting Prefect to take full charge of the military and political affairs of the six Wumeng departments.
If there is a change of candidate, it is nothing, the Liang prefect of Wumeng was killed by anti-thieves, the Wumeng group of dragons was leaderless, and the communication between the southwest and the imperial court was blocked by thieves.
Hurry up and do the right thing!
But when this temporary person has a thief as his own uncle, then things are a little tricky!
If you don't get it right, Meng Buzheng can't get rid of this 'recommender', and in these years, if you have something to do with the anti-thief, it's not a joke, it's going to kill someone!
ββ¦β¦ Alas, now it seems that the old man's decision was really hasty. β
Envoy Meng Bu regretted it, but what could he do if he regretted it, the matter had already been done, and now he could only find a way to remedy it.
The white-faced man finally retracted his gaze, glanced at the political envoy Meng Bu, and said softly: "The students heard that the six divisions of Wumeng have basically been pacified, and the Qi County Order can return to Wusa. β
At the beginning, it was an expedient measure to let Qi Jinzhi go to Wumeng, but now that the overall situation has been decided, there is no need to be 'expedient', and it can be carried out again in accordance with the normal appointment and dismissal method of Daqi civil servants!
Therefore, Qi Jinzhi's children's boots, who had just made a great contribution, stepped down from the stage and bowed, where to go back and forth.
As for the candidates for the prefect of Wumeng, hehe, according to the law and practice, they are selected by the ministers, recommended by the cabinet, and circled by the saints, while others, such as the political envoy of Meng Bu, are powerless!
"No, if the master does this, won't he be laughed at?"
The Meng family's wife, Cui, and Meng Bu's political envoy are of the same age, and they are also from a large family of poetry and books in Shandong.
She listened to the results of the negotiation between Meng Bu's political envoy and the staff, and directly shook her head into a rattle, she counted her fingers and said to her husband one by one: "Not to mention Lord Qi's life-saving grace to us, just he only led more than 100 people to kill Wumeng, expel the Tartars, pacify the chaotic people, and bring the six Wumeng tribes back under the rule of the imperial court, which is a great achievement." β
Mrs. Cui looked at her husband fixedly, and said slowly: "If this kind of merit is not rewarded, it will be suppressed, others dare not criticize the saint or the important ministers of the court, but they will not let go of you, master." β
"But, it's true that the Qi family is rebelling."
What Mrs. Cui said, how could the political envoy Meng Bu not think of it?
But he is the head of the family, and he must consider the safety of the whole family.
Moreover, the Meng family has been famous for dozens of generations and has never been involved with the thief, and he really doesn't want to let the family's reputation be dusted because of himself!
"It is the Eastern Qi that is plotting against the Eastern Qi, what does it have to do with the Western Qi?"
Mrs. Cui was very clear, her eyes were clear and bright, "If the sage also thinks that Xiqi is a thief, the Jinliang Guard would have been dispatched a long time ago, where would you be so entangled, master?" β
"Perhapsβ" Envoy Meng Bu had already been moved by Madame Meng's words, but he still didn't dare to make a decision easily.
Mrs. Cui sneered, "Master, don't say anything like that a saint may not be able to care about for a while, even you don't believe it." The matter involves a thief, if Xi Qi is really guilty, even if Qi Jin is far away in the sky, the saint will find a way to escort people back to the capital to ask for guilt. β
Mrs. Cui shook the newspaper in her hand, and said very firmly: "But there is not a word in it, and the lord has not received any official document about the deposition of Qi Jinzhi, so it can be seen that the sage does not intend to kill Xi Qi with a rod." β
Envoy Meng Bu didn't speak again, still with a little hesitation in his eyes.
Mrs. Cui put down the newspaper and suddenly asked: "Do you still remember that two or three months ago, the imperial historians in Beijing flocked to impeach Qi Jinzhi, but the saints kept the bullet stamps in the middle?" β
Meng Bu's political envoy's eyes flashed.
Mrs. Cui said again: "Master, the concubine doesn't understand political affairs, but the concubine has heard a slang saying in the market, 'no diamonds, no porcelain work', and he has already gone to Wumeng before you didn't 'recommend' him." Sir, why do you think he did this? β
Confident!
People have backers in Beijing, so they dare to do things that ordinary officials dare not do!
The political envoy Meng Bu was stunned, "The master values them so much? "That master who even dares to break into the Jinluan Palace, if she really values the Qi Gu clan very much, to put it mildly, Qi Jinzhi has nothing to do with the rebellion, even if he is involved, that master will dare to protect people.
Mrs. Cui pursed the corners of her lips, dipped some tea from the tea bowl, and wrote a few words on the table.
Meng Bu's political envoy's eyes widened sharply, and he looked at her in disbelief.
Mrs. Cui bowed her head slightly, "Master, it's better to believe it, it's better than obviously carrying it, but offending people because of a momentary mistake, in case we are hated by that master, we will be too wronged!" β
Envoy Meng Bu swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and said slowly: "It makes sense, Madame has a point, I'll wait a few more days." β
Mrs. Cui saw that he listened to his persuasion, so she didn't say anything, waved her hand to wipe the water stains on the table, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, fortunately she left a few eyeliners in Beijing, otherwise their family was far away in the southwest, and they didn't know what to do if they offended the nobles.
β¦β¦
"Grandma, Master Meng and Mr. Zhou ask to meet." Ziwei replied in a low voice, her head kept lowered, and she didn't dare to raise her eyes to look at the things in her master's hand.
Gu Jialuo closed the letter, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Ziwei's restrained appearance, and only raised his eyebrows.
Since Zheng Biao's incident broke out, the male and female slaves and maids in the family have become extremely cautious, lest they have overstepped the rules and provoked the dissatisfaction of their masters.
Ziwei and Zisu are also a little trembling, and even the Huixiang sisters, who have always been arrogant, have also restrained a lot.
There's no way, none of them are confidants who grew up with Miss, and they can't communicate with each other at all.
Or keep your duties as subordinates, do things well, see people's hearts for a long time, and after a long time, the master can naturally feel their loyalty.
Therefore, Ziwei no longer asks for some private words, and she will never dare to touch Gu Jialuo's letters and books unless the master has orders.
Gu Jialuo was satisfied, she needed time to observe these people, and if they could pass this test, she might be more comfortable staying with them.
"Please!"
Gu Jialuo came to the outer room, and a screen was set up in front of Luohan's bed.
Meng Fu and Zhou Wenyuan walked in one after the other, and bowed through the screen.
"Master Meng and Mr. Zhou don't need to be polite, please take a seat!" Gu Jialuo greeted politely.
The two of them did not refuse, and sat down on the official hat chair at the next head.
Gu Jialuo asked, "The two of you are here, but what is important outside?" "She is now in charge of Usa's affairs on behalf of Qi Jinzhi, and even the official duties of the former government must be handled by her.
Master Meng nodded, leaned forward slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Ruren, there have been some rumors outside recently, saying that the uncle of the county emperor killed the monarch and rebelled, and now he has been sentenced to death by the sage. β
Gu Jialuo said quietly: "This is a fact. She just received a letter from Jingzhong, Qi Lingyuan had been beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market seven days ago, and Qi Lingqing's father and son were beheaded at the same time, as well as the Qi family's son-in-law Yang Mingyi and grandson Yang Min.
The corners of Master Meng's mouth twitched, and he said in his heart, of course I know that this is the truth, but the problem is that there are people outside who take the opportunity to make waves.
Zhou Wenyuan still understood Gu Jialuo's temperament, so he didn't continue to detour around the corner, and said directly: "Some people in the county spread rumors, saying that the county zun is also a restless person, and he ran to Wumeng to point fingers shows his intentions, and also said that the county zun and the Tartars are colluded, otherwise how could the Tartars who are entrenched in the three Wumeng departments be easily driven away by the county zun?" β
