Chapter 455: The minister is guilty

Qin Zheng said: "Back to the saint, Neiko has a preference, he likes to collect fresh ingredients, and when he was in Anyang, he entrusted the caravan to collect fresh ingredients from the north and south...... In the past, there were several kinds of lotus root, water chestnut, and chicken head rice, not to mention, but later, a caravan collected these two things from the southern port and brought them back, saying that they were from overseas. Uchiko was curious and pondered the trial, but she didn't expect it to be successful, and she didn't expect the yield to be so high...... At that time, Neiko didn't think much about it, but it happened that His Royal Highness King Yong came to Anyang to inspect water conservancy and resist the epidemic, so he learned about it...... In this matter, Neizi did not have an inch, and rushed to plant his own Zhuangzi, but he did not expect to benefit the people...... In fact, the subordinates are unfavorable to teach, and there is no way to manage the family, which causes the inner son to do such selfish things, and the ministers are guilty and willing to be punished! ”

Emperor Jingshun had a smile in his eyes, and asked with a relaxed expression: "Six or seven hundred catties, one thousand five hundred catties...... This is indeed a rare and high-yield thing, and there is no doubt that it is Golden Harvest. In this way, the county lord of Anning has made a great contribution, you should ask for credit, why should you ask for the guilt? ”

As soon as these two specific figures were reported, there was a faint sound of gasping in the hall.

Qin Zheng responded: "Wechen has just returned home, and I don't know much about the others, but I told Wechen that the yield of corn per mu is six hundred to seven hundred catties; The yield of potatoes per mu is about 1,500 catties. ”

"Oh? Since it was planted by the county lord of Anning...... Qin Aiqing must know if the high yield of those two crops is true? Emperor Jingshun asked slowly.

Qin Zheng kowtowed again and said: "Qiqi Shengshang, the 'Jiahe' mentioned by Tongzhou Zhixian is not planted by others, but planted by Weichen's wife. ”

Emperor Jingshun looked at Qin Zheng who was kneeling on Dan Majesty with a kind gaze, and asked lightly, "What is Aiqing's crime?" ”

Yang Jingyong silently calculated, and when he heard this, he was finally no longer silent, and was about to go out to play Bing, but Qin Zheng behind him suddenly walked out, knelt down in the hall, kowtowed and pleaded: "Please atone for your sins!" ”

However, judging from the reaction of the Xu officials today, Queen Xu did not pay much attention to these, so that at this point, the Xu officials did not get accurate news. The reason why I spoke about Wei's speech was only because I opposed it.

The two crops of corn and potatoes were not covered in the first place, but Yang Jingyong has been silently instructing people to do it, and he didn't get it on the surface before the bumper harvest, and during the autumn harvest, even the palace sent fresh tender corn and potatoes to make them into dishes, which Queen Xu also mentioned when she summoned Qiu Chen.

Tang Chong held the wat board and said respectfully: "Yes." …… It is not difficult to do so without the slightest flaw. Asked clearly the people who knew Tongzhou County and found Jiahe, regardless of merit or demerit for the time being, in the spring of the next year, demarcate the acres of land for people to cultivate, if it is as reported by the Tongzhou County Order, it is naturally great news, but God favors me Daming, protects me Daming and the people, and the society is eternal. If it can't be planted next year, then it will be false and auspicious, and the king will be bullied, then the crime can be punished according to the law! ”

"Tang Aiqing has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" Emperor Jingshun's face was quite good.

Tang Chong then said: "Your Majesty, Weichen still has a word. ”

He nodded, no matter what Wei and Xu, it was not easy to speak nonsense.

Emperor Jingshun stroked his beard and nodded gently: "Hmm! ”

"Returning to the sage, Wei Chen thinks that what Lord Wang said just now is reasonable......" As soon as Tang Chong's words were said here, someone from the Wei family immediately opened their mouths to refute it, but Tang Chong didn't give them a chance to speak at all, and then said, "Since it is the performance presented by the Tongzhou Magistrate, it is natural to ask the Tongzhou Magistrate to play the right." Of course, you can't just listen to his personal side of the story, so as not to deceive him. Fortunately, as Lord Wang said, Tongzhou is on the outskirts of Beijing, and it is very convenient. Since Tongzhou Zhixian has such an excerpt, what is said is conclusive, and the number of mu yields are marked so clearly and clearly, there must be someone who has found Jiahe and planted it successfully, in this case, the Tongzhou Zhixian and the people who planted Jiahe were summoned together, and let them bring the so-called 'Jiahe two', at that time, someone has something, and things can be roughly determined whether it is true or not. ”

Emperor Jingshun's color was a little dark, and he said kindly: "Tang Aiqing, do you have something to say?" ”

Tang Chong's granddaughter married King Fu, which in the eyes of the vast majority of people, he had already been labeled as King Fu, and as soon as he came out, the Xu officials were immediately silenced. The Wei officials had no opponents, so they naturally quickly died down, and in a moment, the court returned to solemnity and tranquility, as if the chaos of the vegetable market just now had not appeared.

Tang Chong, who had always rarely spoken in the court, slowly walked out at this time.

Emperor Jingshun, who was on the throne, frowned and looked at the chaotic court like a vegetable market, and his eyes were full of helplessness, and his gloom could hardly be hidden.

As soon as Sui Yuanqing opened his mouth, the Wei officials immediately echoed it, Wang Wenchang was known for his uprightness, and naturally he was unwilling to be ridiculed by these people, and he also argued with reason, the Xu officials have always been not asking about right and wrong, as long as the Wei family agrees, they must veto it first, and then they will join the dispute, and for a while, you come and go in the court, and fall into a state of chaos.

It's not the first time that this person has been rude, everyone knows that he is a big boss, and when he comes to his temper, even the emperor will confront him face to face, but because he has no big mistakes, he has been staying in the position of the secretary of the military department, and even the emperor does not care about this kind of person.

Yang Jingyong's eyebrows jumped slightly, and the one who dared to be rude in the court was Sui Yuanqing, the secretary of the military department who was born as a water bandit. This person does not understand the literature and ink, but he has practiced a good kung fu, and in the early years of Invesco the two rivers and water bandits were rampant, he made great contributions to the water bandits, and was able to rise quickly, and then won the favor of the Empress of the first Wei, so he was promoted to the Ministry of War as a squire of the Ministry of War. Because of this, this person has always been a hardcore figure who supports the eldest prince's family.

Just now, the emperor asked once or twice, but no one responded, and at this time, Wang Wenchang opened his mouth, but someone immediately answered lightly: "What's the use of summoning the magistrate of Tongzhou?" Can he still slap himself in the mouth? ”

Wang Wenchang, the right attendant of the household department, although he is not in the Yushitai, is known as the breeze with two sleeves, and he is the most stubborn and Qinggao person, Wei and Xu are unmoved, but fortunately, people stand upright and upright, and they did not let those people grab the handle and press it, but they spent thirteen years in the position of the household attendant, not to mention how many times the household department has changed, and even the left attendant of the household department has also changed several, he is like an iron nail nailed to the household, and he has been forced from the good years of his thirties to the current age of knowing the destiny of heaven...... It's almost rusty!

These words were calm and calm, and there was no bias in listening. Yang Jingyong, who was standing at the top of the right side, hung his head slightly, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up slightly.

Finally, Wang Wenchang, the right attendant of the household department, who was standing in the middle of the queue, came out of the queue and knelt down, and said: "Qi Qi Sheng, as the Holy Lord said, the matter of food is related to the people's livelihood, and it is not allowed to be ignored and asserted. Fortunately, Tongzhou County is close to the suburbs of Beijing, and it will only take a day to send someone to summon Tongzhou County to enter Beijing. Therefore, Weichen believes that since the Tongzhou County Order must be relied on in this chapter, it is better to summon the Tongzhou County Order into Beijing, and the truth of the matter can be clear and clear. ”

Under the encouragement of Emperor Jingshun's faction, the important ministers and bigwigs closest to the throne did not still look at their noses and noses, and they were not alarmed. However, in the middle of the courtiers' procession, there was a low, subtle but quite a lot of discussion among the courtiers who were of lower rank and younger age.

Emperor Jingshun put the fold on the imperial case, showed a smile on his face, and said lightly: "Jiahe, it is related to the livelihood of the people in the world, and there is nothing more important than letting the people eat and clothe themselves." This is a great thing, don't be restrained, big guys, say whatever you want! ”

The civil and military ministers were solemn, and no one came out to respond.

Speaking of this, Emperor Jingshun paused, his eyes swept over the two rows of civil and military officials in the hall, and said lightly: "What do the secretaries have on this matter?" ”

Some officials came out to play the right thing, and Emperor Jingshun began to inquire and also consulted with the ministers. After talking about a few common court events, Emperor Jingshun took a copy of the fold from the hand of Han Xi, the chief eunuch beside him, checked it, looked at the ministers of His Majesty Dan, and slowly said: "There are auspicious rays coming every year, and Tongzhou County is the first time to come out of auspicious rays. Moreover, it is still a great thing, it is actually a Jiahe that is related to the livelihood of the people in the world, and it is also a two, saying that the yield per mu is as high as fifteen stones......"

Emperor Invesco sat on the dragon chair and looked down on the ministers.

A set of cumbersome rituals is completed, and the pilgrimage meeting is officially begins.

Finally, when the inner servants passed on, the officials inside and outside the hall knelt on the ground to welcome the Son of Heaven, and when the Ninety-Five Emperor stepped on the Dan Majesty and sat upright on the dragon chair, the courtiers got up, turned to the Ninety-Five Zun of the head, and bowed three times and bowed nine times.

Qin Zheng followed the team all the way through the square in front of the palace, stepped on the Dan Majesty, and walked all the way into the brilliantly lit Taihe Palace. Behind him, countless low-level civil and military officials, but they could only stop under His Majesty Dan, looking for their own rank stones, standing in line on the road, between the two columns of guards, hanging their hands and waiting in the open cold until the end of the Great Dynasty Meeting.

The melodious and solemn silk and bamboo fine music bursts out, coming out from the performance pavilion at the four corners of the square, different from the cheerful and melodious banquet music, also different from the mountains and flowing water of the Yishi literati, the palace music bell chime is all the same, rich and magnificent, pleasant and solemn, just like the palace of this glorious palace layer by layer, graceful and luxurious, dignified and elegant, magnificent.

The high Taihe Hall has been wide open, the lights inside and outside the hall are brilliant, the cloud dragon, the crane, the copper tripod, the incense burner in front of the hall, the fine spices are burned, the cigarette smoke is like a cloud and mist, the fragrance is in the cold air in the early morning, diffuse it, the majestic and gorgeous and solemn Taihe Hall is ethereal, as if it has become the fairy palace!

From the moment they entered the Taihe Gate, the civil and military officials were divided into two teams, and they walked all the way to the Taihe Hall along both sides of the royal road on the left and right.

From the outside of the Taihe Gate, in the center of the square, to the top of His Majesty Dan in the Taihe Palace, two columns of guards in full armor and spears stood in two lines on both sides of the royal road.

Everyone kept walking inside, passing through several palace gates, and walked straight into the square in front of the Taihe Palace, the most spacious place of the palace.

In the solemnity, only the neat footsteps of civil and military officials walked in unison.

Qin Zheng, as the Marquis of Jingbei, also hung the title of Taibao, and he can be regarded as a top person among the military ministers and nobles. In front of him, except for a few princes, there were a few princes, and the team behind him was submerged in the night, as if there was no end in sight.

Immediately after the two teams of guards, two more teams of attendants walked out of the palace gate with lanterns. The number of chamberlains is small, only on both sides of the palace gate, there are brightly dressed supervisor chamberlains then walked out, raised their voices, civil and military officials all bowed their heads slightly, their hands wrapped around their chests and clenched the wat board, as the inner servants preached down, the people in the front stepped forward and walked into the palace gate. The Great Pilgrimage Party has officially begun!

The civil officials hiding in the sedan chair got off the sedan chair one after another, and the military attaches who gathered in one place to speak also immediately became solemn, looking chaotic, but they nervously and orderly removed the cloak and the big coat on their bodies, handed them over to the clever guys, and then found their own position in their own way, and quickly lined up into two teams, standing in turn according to their ranks.

Finally, before the courtiers were frozen by the cold wind, the thick and heavy palace gate creaked open from the inside in the night, and two teams of guards ran out of the palace silently and solemnly, and lined up on both sides of the palace gate, standing like nails.

The military general responded respectfully, and when he heard the latter sentence, he immediately became happy, and responded again and again, watching Qin Zheng's boots walk away, he also hurriedly straightened up, wiped his face again, and walked into the periphery of the crowd next to him, patting this and pulling that.

"Alright, let's get up. This is not the place to talk. Wait for the next court, greet the brothers, and go to Huiqing Building! Qin Zheng confessed in a low voice and took the lead in walking back to the crowd.

The military attache was nearly forty years old, but he was very convinced of Qin Zheng, and at this time, he didn't have the arrogance just now, he only hung his hands and bowed his body, and listened quietly with great shame.

"Hmph, this rough temperament can't be changed, if you are so rough and reckless in front of the battle, you will not lose face. You've got enough heads to lose like that! Qin Zheng stood with his hands in his hands and scolded in a low voice unceremoniously.

The small pill is not big, the size of a sycamore, but slightly larger than a mung bean, but the entrance is extremely cool, the military attache originally felt that the fire burned in the mouth as if the holy water of Ganlin had fallen all of a sudden, the fire instantly subsided, leaving only the cool and comfortable mouth full, as the fiery feeling subsided, the military attaché's blurred vision and chaotic head gradually recovered to clearing, turned his head and saw Qin Zheng standing in his figure, and suddenly felt full of shame, raised his sleeve and touched the tears on his face, and bowed his body and hugged his fists to accompany the crime:" The little recklessness is reckless, Hou Ye atonements! ”

Qin Zheng shook his head, took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve pocket, poured out two small pills the size of a sycamore seed, and walked over and slapped them into the general's mouth.

"Hehe, look at what the Hou Ye said, it's not that our brothers haven't drunk this thing, let alone such a bottle, it's ten bottles and eight bottles, and our brothers are not a problem......" As he spoke, the copper box was handed to him, and the general took it with joy, and raised his head without hesitation...... Immediately, he almost threw the box in his hand, but fortunately, the military general next to him quickly snatched the copper box. Looking at this military attache again, I only felt that the nose and eyes were not my own, and his mouth was full of ...... No, with a full face...... The whole body was hot, his face was already burning red, his nose and tears were down, his big mouth couldn't be closed at all, he rushed out of the crowd, and inhaled in the direction of the north wind, but he didn't stay in the place, and he didn't even dare to make a noise, which made him uncomfortable and aggrieved!

Qin Zheng glanced at him and said in a low voice: "This is a cold warding thing, don't drink too much, just take a small sip, you can't stand it if you have more!" ”

"Hehe, it's still thoughtful! This saved everyone's lives! A military general whispered, full of joy.

The wine jug was taken out of his arms, his tentacles were warm, Qin Zheng took the lead in unscrewing the lid, took a small sip, and then handed it to the people around him.

Qin Zheng hugged his fists and thanked him, and did not shirk, pulling a group of people to squeeze in front of the monument, and then took out a flat copper wine jug with a cotton sleeve from his arms.

The entrance of the palace is relatively open, and the unobstructed night wind blows the bones painfully, and the front of the horse monument has become the only warm place that can block the wind. Whoever can grab this place, waiting for the palace gate to open will be less painful from the cold wind.

"Master Hou, please ......" Someone turned around and let Qin Zheng go to the dismount monument in front of the palace gate.

"Master Hou also ...... early"

Qin Zheng smiled slightly, and bowed to everyone with his fists in return, "You guys arrived first!" ”

Most of the generals had a bold temperament, spoke straight and loud, and many of them spoke together, and the crowd of generals who were not conspicuous just now suddenly became noisy.

"Great General, morning!" This is the military general under Qin Zheng back then, and he was used to calling the general, Qin Zheng didn't care, they were willing to keep this title that expressed closeness.

"Hou Ye is early!"

"Marquis Qin!"

Before he walked into the crowd, he already saw Qin Zheng walking over, and immediately raised his voice to greet him.

Qin Zheng squinted his eyes slightly, watching the figure of An Ruan Weigong disappear into the crowd, thought for a moment, relaxed his expression in an instant, and walked straight towards the military attaches who had gathered.

Qin Zheng dismounted from a distance outside the crowd, and the guards immediately stepped forward to lead the horse away, Qin Zheng pulled the big man, moved his hands and feet slightly, and was about to go to greet and talk to the military attachés, when a small servant hurriedly squeezed over from the front, came to Qin Zheng's side, respectfully bent down and saluted, and whispered a few words in front of Qin Zheng, and then hurriedly turned back.

When they arrived at the palace gate, it was still early, the palace gate was tightly closed, the officials who arrived first waited quietly, some of the people in the sedan chair simply stayed in the sedan chair to keep warm, and the military attachés on horseback gathered together, wrapped themselves tightly, and whispered their words.

When they arrived here, they could already see the entourage of officials of the upper dynasty who were riding horses or sedan chairs, and Qin Zheng and his party slowed down their horses a little and walked along the palace wall towards Donghua Gate.

Qin Zheng rode out of the house, because it was still early, the street was extremely quiet, there were guards in front of him with lanterns to guide the way, and the group drove the horses at a gallop, but in a quarter of an hour, they saw the tall palace wall lying still in the dark night, only the corner towers at the four corners of the palace wall, the lights were ethereal, like night stars.

A cup of hot tea into the abdomen, the body seemed to warm up from the inside out, Qiu Chen waved his hand, and drove the girls to retreat to rest for a while, she also pulled the quilt and covered it, closed her eyes, but after a while, she fell asleep in a daze.

Chengying took the girls and the mother-in-law to bend their knees, and waited for Qiu Chen to enter the house, removed the nightgown on his body, put it on the kang, and then poured a cup of honey and red date tea and handed it over, Qiu Chen held it and drank it slowly. I didn't feel cold just now, but now I sat on the warm kang with a hot cup in my hand, only to find that my hands were cold and my body was cold.

Qiu Chen turned his eyes, nodded in response, and turned back with the girls: "There is still more than an hour before dawn, you should go and rest for a while!" ”

Chengying opened the curtain of the door and reminded in a low voice: "Madam, the wind is rushing at the door, you are wearing less, so let's go back to the house!" ”

Qiu Chen stood inside the door, only watching Qin Zheng's figure walk into the corridor along the corridor, he couldn't see it, and he took a breath before he gently exhaled out.

Qin Zheng didn't let her go out, glanced at her, turned around and went out, and hurriedly went.

This month is the coldest time of the year, or the early hours of the morning, and the coldest time of the day, the outside dripping into ice, but Qin Zheng is still a military attaché, and the military attache is not allowed to sit in a sedan chair, but can only ride a horse...... Since coming to this world, Qiu Chen's biggest feeling is that this is a society with rules as the criterion, which is very different from the modern life with the law as the criterion.

Qin Zheng naturally has no hobby for these desserts, but he is not disgusted, he took two sips and drank them without any opinion, got up and went into the clean room to wash up, Qiu Chen had already commanded the girl to set up breakfast on the couch outside. Qin Zheng walked over, took the dishes and chopsticks handed over by Qiu Chen, and ate them without hurrying but not slowly. The little girl took light salt water and gargled to wait for him to rinse his mouth, and Qiu Chen handed a hot cloth and wiped it. turned around, took Qin Zheng's official uniform from the official hat rack, put it on him one by one, looked up and down, and made sure that there was nothing wrong, so he took the fox fur handed by the girl, put it on him, and tied the belt. After that, he handed over the lambskin gloves, lowered Qin Zheng's body, and even put a hood on his hood, so that he could be relieved to send him out.

She turned around and poured a cup of warm honey and red date tea from the warm shell for Qin Zheng. This qi nourishing and blood nourishing was originally Qiu Chen's daily drink, but Qiu Chen felt that this was better than drinking tea in the morning, and it also warmed his stomach, so he took it to Qin Zheng and changed it.

Qiu Chen raised his eyes, looked at Qin Zheng, who had completely sobered up and was clear in his eyes, and secretly sighed that people are more damning than people, and then stubbornly got off the kang, raised the door curtain and instructed the girl to prepare water and food.

"Go to sleep, don't get up with it......" Qin Zheng looked at his sleepy wife and was very distressed, and couldn't help but persuade.

Secretly slandering with resentment, Qiu Chen still raised his hand and pulled his nightgown from the kang and wrapped it around his body.

On this cold day, the warm quilt can't lie down, but I have to get up in the middle of the night to go to the pilgrimage...... This ancient system of work and rest is so inhumane! She has always been very skeptical, especially at this time, which emperor invented this system? Isn't it brain-dead? Or is it a super masochistic brain-dead......

She felt like she had just fallen asleep, and she was sleeping sweetly, so why was it too late!

It's just that he just sat up with his clothes on, and Qiu Chen still woke up. Rubbing his eyes, Qiu Chen blinked and asked, "Is it time?" ”

He delicately removed his arm from his wife's waist, trying to lighten his movements, not wanting to disturb his wife's sleep.

Before Yin, Qin Zheng woke up.

Of course, small things get in the way on the one hand, but more importantly, Brother Yun has to get up at night to feed and change diapers for many things, and it is indispensable to have a girl and a nurse to wait. Since Qiu Chen got married, whenever Qin Zheng is at home, he doesn't need a maid at night...... She couldn't treat the girls as if they were nothing, there were several girls standing outside the tent, and she could roll the sheets and fight with the men...... Spare her, her skin really can't reach that thick!

Since Qin Zheng came back on the first night, Brother Yun went crazy and didn't sleep in the middle of the night, and the next night, Brother Yun was sent to live in the warm pavilion of the West House.

Qin Zheng only had a few days of vacation in the court, and after the winter solstice, the small court would be fine, so he reported his illness; This was the first great court meeting when he returned to the court, and the emperor said again that the court would meet the Nanchen mission, and Qin Zheng could only get up early and go to the court.

This night, it is estimated that many people did not sleep peacefully, and the next day, the officials of these six centers got up early, packed up, and went to the court meeting in the dark.

Finally, the fold was presented to the Imperial Reader in a large stack of folds. Countless officials of the six ministries were all curious and waiting for the results of the emperor's disposition. However, when the fold entered the palace, it was like a mud cow entering the sea, and there was no news.

This is a Mingfa recital, which is a sensation all the way, no matter what the people who handle it think, but no one dares to stop it. With such a sensational thing, maybe the emperor has already received a letter!

Approaching the New Year's Festival, this kind of auspicious performance occurs every year, and it is most concentrated before the New Year's Festival. However, Tongzhou, which is close to the suburbs of Beijing, handed over such an excerpt, or rushed to play the first auspicious performance of the first month of Layue this year, and some people couldn't help but secretly sneer, is this Tongzhou county order crazy if you want to be promoted? Those remote areas, playing an auspicious show, it's not easy to verify, you Tongzhou at the feet of the Son of Heaven also dare to do this, send people to see it, don't you show it? Is this Tongzhou county order tired of being bored, holding a lamp grass stick to poke the tiger's nose and eyes? …… Uh, no, Long Live Lord is not a tiger, Long Live Lord is a real dragon emperor!

On November 19, the Winter Solstice Festival, the first day of December, this recital was handed over the day before the festival, that is, on the last day of November.

Before the recital was sent to the Imperial Palace, it was already a sensation, but everywhere the excerpt passed, all were shocked, the news was like having wings, and it had almost spread throughout the six centers without waiting for the excerpt to be sent to the Imperial Review, and everyone was shocked and discussed, and some of the people who had heard some news before had been confirmed; Some of them are the first time they have heard of it, and they are still skeptical...... Whoever is accustomed to Si Dan rice and wheat is a bumper yield, and when he hears that the yield per mu is more than 1,000 catties, he will be incredulous because of the huge difference, and he will be suspicious at the first time.

Qiu Chen's words didn't fall for two days, Tongzhou County was on the table, and Tongzhou County was happy to get two kinds of Jiahe, with a yield of more than 1,000 catties per mu!
