"You mean that Zhongshu Lu Jianzheng asked about the last war in the Northwest?"

In the official hall, Gao Lingbo put down the tea bowl in his hand and asked.

The green-robed official in front of him bowed his hands and waists nodded.

"Did he ask, or did Chen Shao ask?" Gao Lingbo snorted and said.

"I heard that Zhou Fengxiang has been in private contact with Chen Dashen." The blue-robed official said in a low voice.

It's been two years, and the position of the Northwest Economic Strategy Envoy has still not been settled, and as Gao Lingbo's status is getting higher and higher, and his weight in the DPRK is getting bigger and bigger, I believe that it won't be long before Jiang Wenyuan can get this position.

After settling down the strategic envoy, the unjustified supervisor Zhou Fengxiang can get back, so Chen Shao is in a hurry, and he hasn't caught a handle with a little weight in two years.

"So they want to do something about this war?" Gao Lingbo said, with a little disdain, "You're not so stupid, are you?" Isn't this a slap in the emperor's face? ”

"Chen Dashen and Inspector Zhou's private message said that the lower officials don't know yet." The green-robed official said, "But Lu Jian is asking the lower officials to know." ”

"What did he ask?" Gao Lingbo said.

"He seemed to ask if there was an impersonation in the last war, and the rewards and punishments were unknown." The green-robed official said.

……………………………………….

When Lu Jian was walking into the palace, he quietly looked up, and saw the emperor on the royal bed with a gloomy face, and then looked at the officials around him with smiling faces and expressionless faces, and knew that there must be nothing good.

“… I heard that the Northwest Army has a lot of resentment against my reward and punishment? The Emperor's voice fell lightly.

Lu Jian chuckled in his heart, and subconsciously looked up at Chen Shao.

Chen Shao's face was expressionless.

Jiang Wenyuan and others refused to accept the reward, saying that Dragon Valley was a victory. It's about the elite soldiers. They are just generals in the army. There is no size merit, so I dare not accept the reward, lest others disagree. The emperor continued, looking coldly at Lu Jianzheng, who was standing bowed below, "Lu Si'an, who do you think?" ”

Sweat poured from Lu Jianzheng's face, and he didn't want to answer. But I can't help but answer.

"Your Majesty, no one disagrees, the army is victorious, the generals are properly commanded, and they deserve a reward." He said.

"That's why you're not convinced?" The Emperor asked lightly.

Lu Jian Zheng immediately bowed.

"The minister doesn't dare, the minister doesn't." He said hurriedly.

"Your Majesty." Chen Shao suddenly spoke, "Jiang Wenyuan ignored the emperor's orders, acted frivolously, and should be punished for selling his reputation and reputation." ”

If an ordinary courtier did such a thing that slapped the face of the court, he would naturally be reprimanded by the emperor. Let them seek mercy and be merciful.

But this time it was Jiang Wenyuan and others, who the emperor had just congratulated for victory. The battle that announced the world and defeated the Western Thief King Division, the credit is really gratifying.

The emperor's face was even more ugly.

Especially when it was Chen Shao who spoke, who didn't know that Lu Jian was recommended by him Chen Shao, this matter was said to be Lu Jian who was privately inquiring, in fact, everyone guessed in their hearts that it was instructed by Chen Shao, but there was no evidence.

However, on this occasion, Chen Shao came out to speak undoubtedly to defend himself, but if he didn't come out to speak, he would inevitably be detained as a merciless and wise man to protect himself.

In short, this time was enough for him to drop a few places in the emperor's heart.

The curvature of the corners of Gao Lingbo's mouth was even greater, he had never appreciated Chen Shao's upright attitude like this.

"Your Majesty, how can the imperial court have a reason not to reward merit." Seeing that Chen Shao was still going to speak, Lu Jianzheng gritted his teeth and said first, "If the minister is inappropriate, I am willing to go to the northwest in person to give a reward to Lord Jiang and others." ”

This is a self-indulgence!

There was a sneer on the emperor's lips.

See, this is the kind of fame and reputation, he asked for a name, just give him this name, let him ask for benevolence, do you really think that the court will be reluctant to him?

"I really haven't heard anyone dissatisfied, so you can listen to it on my behalf, who is dissatisfied, and how many people are dissatisfied." The emperor said lightly.

Seeing the courtiers retreat, the emperor leaned on the imperial bed a little tired.

The eldest prince standing below immediately stepped forward.

"Father, let's go back to the palace to rest." He said with concern.

The emperor did not get up, but reached out and pressed his forehead.

"What do you think of today's events?" He asked.

"Resentment." The eldest prince immediately replied, "They have grievances, this kind of official is not available, Lord Jiang's merits can be seen, but these officials sitting in the capital turn a blind eye to their work, only see what they get, and they are born with resentment and hope to be punished, if they are not punished, they will be trapped in the future in the foreign army." ”

The emperor nodded, and the eldest prince couldn't help but feel a little proud, but saw the emperor look to the other side again.

"Weilang, what do you say?" He asked.

The king of Jin'an bowed down and saluted.

"The minister thinks that this matter is a little strange." He said, "Lu Si'ancha's strangeness, Jiang Wenyuan's refusal to accept the reward, and Chen Xianggong's words are also strange. ”

"So there's no resentment about this at all." The emperor said, while reaching out and pressing his forehead, shaking his head and smiling helplessly, "See, no matter what, good things are bad, happy things are bad things, these ministers of mine can always find opportunities to attack each other, and sesame big things can also be intrigued, always mixed with different opinions, it is rare to be quiet." ”

"Your Majesty is relieved, the way of checks and balances is inevitable, as long as they contribute to the country, they can also ignore their hearts." King Jin'an said.

The Emperor nodded at him and smiled, as he got up.

"Okay, you're tired, let's go back to the palace." He said.

Wang Shili of Jin'an County responded yes.

Watching the emperor's guard of honor leave, the eldest prince raised his body and looked a little indignant.

"Your Highness, where are you going to the Queen Mother?" King Jin'an asked, "It's better to be together." ”

The eldest prince snorted coldly, ignored him and turned around and left.

The king of Jin'an didn't think it was strange, smiled slightly and walked slowly.

"I don't know what it's like to be a rotten rat, and I guess that the chicks are still alive!" He said slowly.

This is true of the eldest prince, and so are the others.

On the other side, Lu Jian was facing Chen Shaoshi.

"My lord, it's all the lower officials who are tired of the adults." His voice was a little choked, "The subordinate is ashamed of the recommendation of the adult." Not only did it not help. On the contrary, the adults who harmed were framed..."

"Si'an. You said you too, you, why did you ask this? The person next to him couldn't help but complain, "Don't look at what time this is, isn't this a slap in the emperor's face?" ”

"It's also my fault, I shouldn't have mentioned the matter of Zhou Supervision to him in private." Chen Shao said.

Lu Jianzheng looked even more sad.

"Adults, it's the small ones who are self-righteous and self-righteous, and the harmful adults are like this." He choked up.

"I'm still not careful enough. I don't know how much eyeliner Gao Lingbo has planted in this official hall. Someone sighed.

Chen Shao nodded.

"It's here, don't think about it." "It's better to go out and avoid it." ”

Yes, it can only be like this, Lu Jian is bowing and bowing with a depressed expression.

Things turned out to be like this, Gao Lingbo actually burned a fire first, and the emperor who burned it was furious, and he Chen Shao and others simply suffered an unwarranted disaster, obviously they didn't do anything but were scolded and degraded.

How good is this? If that lady comes to her again at this time, she is afraid that she will not be able to say even a little prevarication, so she can only dissuade her directly.

Just like the last desertion.

Chen Shao smiled bitterly.

Maybe the lady wouldn't have come to her at all.

Anyway. The best thing is to be able to think about yourself as Mrs. said. That lady will not really come to Beijing, nor will she fight for the affairs of these soldiers.

After all, with or without Gao Lingbo's move, this matter is too ridiculous to say.

If those soldiers are still alive, it is worth discussing, what is the use of fighting after death, not to mention such a difficult thing, there are so many things to do in life, there is no need to do meaningless things.

"But I'll definitely find out who is plotting against you and me behind my back." He said slowly, "It's just a game, the chessboard is still there, and the winner or loser is undecided." ”

………………………………….

"Even so, the outcome is still undecided, so don't worry about it."

A few days later, Qin Shisanlang also said this, holding a bowl of tea in his hand, sitting in a simple room, and the smell of corruption swirled between his noses, but this did not affect his indifferent expression.

"You said that the emperor said that he didn't hear anyone dissatisfied, so he asked someone to listen, who is dissatisfied, and how many people are dissatisfied," Cheng Jianniang asked.

"Yes, it's a pity, I originally wanted my father to find a chance to talk about it, but I didn't expect to be taken one step ahead of them and make such a fuss, and this matter can't be mentioned for the time being." Qin Shisanlang said, "Don't worry, lady, let's find a way." ”

Cheng Jianniang shook her head and smiled.

"I'm not in a hurry." She said.

Qin Shisanlang put down the tea bowl in his hand and looked at the little lady in front of him.

With the habits of this little lady, she has always been a person who does not make a move, and she will be confident when she makes a move.

He looked up, this dilapidated out-of-town tavern that smelled of rancidity, could it really be that he had moved here on a whim?

When he listened to the servant girl Banqin, he thought he had heard it wrong.

"Yes, the affairs of the court have nothing to do with you and me, put them aside." He looked at Cheng Jianniang again, "Lady, what are your plans?" Probably talk to me? ”

Cheng Jianniang smiled when she heard this.

"There's never anything I want to do that I can't say to anyone." She said, "It is to welcome the return of my brothers and their souls to be buried." ”

"The cemetery has been chosen, I don't know if the lady is ready?" Qin Shisanlang asked.

"It's going to be ready." Cheng Jianniang said slowly.

Qin Shisanlang stared at her for a moment, shook his head and smiled.

"Okay, then I'll wait to see what you prepare." He said.

He waited and watched.

The birds will strike, the wings will be low, the beasts will fight, and the ears will prostrate. [Note 1]

He waited and seeed.

It's been two years in this capital where she once left traces but almost disappeared, in this capital where she was once famous but unknown, look at what storms this little lady will set off, how many people will be surprised and talk, how many people's fate will change instantly, and how many people will grit their teeth and secretly say that Jiangzhou is stupid.
