The gaze shifted from the depths of the vast prairie back to the bustling Shengjing City. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
With Uncle Gu Jun in Shengjing City, Tang Fei's mother Gu seemed to have a lot more smiles on her face.
And the case of Gu Taiguang, which had been buried for more than 20 years, was finally under the supervision of the emperor, under the investigation of Hu Benwei's efforts, and with the cooperation of Gu Jun's uncle and Lan Mo's efforts, the truth was revealed.
The truth is shocking, but it is also expected.
Gu Taiguang and Lan Ruhai were really wronged.
The inside story of the case is not complicated, it can even be called simple, but it is only hateful that the eldest princess was maneuvering from it and covering the sky with one hand, coupled with the critical situation and the anger of the people, so Gu Taiguang and Lan Ruhai must have become the scapegoats of the court and the victims of the times.
At the time of the crime, Lan Ruhai had just been promoted from the bitter cold land of Hunan County to Shengjing City.
Foreign monks are good at chanting scriptures, but foreign officials are not good at being people.
In good conscience, the xenophobia in the officialdom of Shengjing City is still quite serious, Lan Ruhai has no background, and he has risen from the locality, although he has real talent and real learning, but he is upright, and it is inevitable that these aristocratic classes that have long been decayed will be regarded as aliens, and they are very disdainful.
Lan Ruhai is full of ambitions, but as soon as Fang entered Shengjing City, he was first excluded, and after being frustrated, he also felt a little depressed and unwilling.
And at this time, he made a confidant and friend, that is, the big boss of the Qi Mansion, Master Qi, Qi Zhentian.
Let's not care about Master Qi's political position, just talking about him is still very good.
Master Qi is a down-to-earth person, treats people sincerely, and always speaks and does things calmly, which is very measured.
If it weren't for the fact that as the eldest lord of the Qi Mansion and being a family member, it was a natural hostile position, and Master Qi would still be a wonderful and affectionate person.
Lan Ruhai is very honest and honest, upright, such a person is full of praise when we talk about it now, but if it is really left in real life, it will inevitably make people feel that he is too one-sided and square, and it is not easy to get along with him.
Not to mention anything else, other colleagues went out to drink flower wine after work, and called a few girls to hug left and right, play the piano and sing so happily, but on such a corrupt and extravagant occasion, Lan Ruhai never refused to go.
He was like a copper sword, never contaminated with the slightest bit of acid, and refused to bear half of corrosion.
In this way, Lan Ruhai has become an outlier in the rotten officialdom, and has also become a thorn in the side of these officials who are depraved but can't see the innocence of others.
But there is more than one such anomaly, and Qi Zhentian, the old man Qi, has never been to a place like Hualou.
However, Master Qi is not afraid of corroding his soul or anything, as the eldest lord of the Qi Mansion and the spokesperson of the eldest princess in the court, his soul has already been corroded to the point of being full of holes.
Master Qi didn't go, mainly because he was afraid that his wife Wang would be sad.
We have said more than once that the biggest advantage of Master Qi is not that he is modest, but that he is very, very good to his family.
This is good, not to mention in Shengjing City, even if it is put on the entire Great Cloud Country, it is one of the best.
He is not only a good and dedicated husband, but also a kind father, a good son of his parents, and a good brother of his sister Xiao Qi.
This is originally a man's most valuable advantage, but everything has a degree, and if it exceeds that degree, it can only be counterproductive.
For example, in the attitude towards children.
A pair of children born by Master Qi: Qi Yuan and Qi Yue.
Master Qi is very kind to these only children, and he can be called full of love and responsiveness. Even if their brother and sister wanted the stars in the sky, Master Qi had to fight hard not to climb into the sky to take the stars down.
But is that really good?
It's coddling! It's hurting them!
It's a good thing to want to be good to children, but since you have children, you have to educate them and tell them what is good and what is bad.
Master Qi is more than pampered, but his education is insufficient, and he always gives in, so a pair of children are also arrogant and domineering, and they are not a big deal.
Master Qi treats children unprincipledly, and even more so for the younger sister who grew up with him since childhood.
However, no matter whether Master Qi's doting is right or wrong, in short, Lan Ruhai, who also doesn't like to go to the land of fireworks to have fun, and Master Qi slowly came together and became best friends.
Lan Ruhai was already isolated in Shengjing City, like a duckweed without roots.
It's easy to get married to a confidant like Master Qi, who cherishes it, and the two of them often come and go to each other, drink and chat, how can it be a good match.
And because of a friend like Master Qi who can talk about the world, Lan Ruhai's face finally has a little more smile.
When Lan Mo talked about this past, he could still think of the happy and wanton smile on his father's face.
It's just that Lan Ruhai at that time never thought that his friend, who he regarded as a true treasure, would drag his family into such an abyss in the future.
Lan Ruhai was originally a very talented and capable official, but after he arrived in Shengjing City from Hunan County, he was never reused by the emperor.
This gap often makes him feel a little depressed.
And with the outbreak of the most serious locust plague in the history of Hunan County in the 5th year of the first emperor, the opportunity for blue as the sea also came.
Because Lan Ruhai was born in Hunan County and was upright, the emperor appointed him as the locust control officer, specializing in the management of locust plagues in Hunan County.
This kind of errand is not an easy errand to do, and the responsibility is extremely heavy, but if it is done well, the credit is also great.
It is foreseeable that if Lan Ruhai can grasp this opportunity well, manage the disaster well and settle the victims, not to mention one person under ten thousand people, but it is not impossible to be a great minister.
Lan Ruhai is full of confidence, and even his best friend Qi Zhentian Qi is full of confidence in him.
But he didn't expect that this rare opportunity was the executioner who pushed him into the ghost gate.
Originally, everything was going quite smoothly, but with the joint efforts of Lan Ruhai and many ministers, the disaster had been brought under control.
But the grain is all lost.
The people lived without food, and each of them gnawed on the bark of the tree with yellow muscles and thin muscles, ate Guanyin soil, and countless people starved to death.
The whole Hunan County has become a hell on earth, and the victims are hungry and excited, like evil ghosts in hell, and even their moral values have become extremely weak in order to eat.
Seeing that the weather is getting colder and colder, and it is about to be winter, I can't eat, so I can only freeze to death and starve to death.
At that time, the treasury was not very full, but although the former emperor did not love the people like a son like our emperor, he was not a cold-blooded king who could sit back and watch the people starve to death.
