CHAPTER XX
When Zhou Jin came back, the situation in the court was lively. The two groups of courtiers who were clearly divided used the words they had learned in their lives to fight with each other, and a case of not paying back the money was raised to the level of national security.
Later, the weak combat effectiveness could not hold on, and only a few ministers were left, with meticulous logic and sharp words.
Here and there: "Led by Yulu, I'm embarrassed to don't care about anything, what's the matter, our saint raises you every day to listen to your funny plays?" ”
The irony that didn't let it go immediately came back: "Funny? Funny, who can compare to you, Lord Li, wasn't he fished out of the Jiangnan Bureau by his sister-in-law a few days ago? Yo, the marks on your face have disappeared? Don't explain to people every day that you were scratched by a cat, who doesn't know, do you have a cat at home? You have a lioness in your house! ”
Seeing that the more he talked, the more unspeakable he became, and even that little bit of foundation was shaken out, and if he continued, these ministers would have no face to come to the court tomorrow.
The emperor threw the piece to the ground: "Will you be able to speak!" Courtiers! Serious things won't be solved! Pulling these useless pours upside down, one is more powerful than the other! ”
All of a sudden, they were all silent, and no one dared to talk nonsense anymore.
The emperor was also very angry, panting and looking at the people on both sides, estimating the strength of the two sides, and snorting coldly: "This matter will be handed over to Dali Temple for investigation, and it will be done for me in three days, and no one will have to give face. ”
The meaning is clear, just find someone to resist this matter at the Tai Hospital, and don't move up again.
The crown prince was still unwilling, took another step forward, and clasped his hands into fists: "Father, the son thinks ......" Before the words were finished, the emperor picked up the teacup and smashed his head and face: "I raised a good son!" ”
Seeing that the emperor was already so angry, he knew that he shouldn't say more, so he immediately knelt down in a mess and said, "The son knows his mistake." ”
When Zhou Jin came back, he felt that this form was quite interesting, the second prince was a hot-tempered person, and this matter had to be handed over to someone else to do, and it might sink quietly, but once it was handed over to the second prince, he must make this matter of maximum value, desperately expose all parties in the court, and drag the matter to the emperor. It doesn't matter if you hurt yourself, as long as you can tear a piece of meat off the prince's body.
Not to mention the hospital...... That's a piece of fat.
In this current situation, the second prince still feels that it is not enough, the emperor is still partial to the prince, and the matter is up to the hospital, and he wants to save some face for the prince.
Zhou Jin thinks it's enough, it is a good start to make the emperor dissatisfied with the prince, and it will grow in the future, one by one, sooner or later it will crush the heart that he wants to protect him. What's more, this time, the crown prince was pressed on this matter, and the scene of coming back to his senses to take revenge on the second prince will be so stormy.
Zhou Jin because of the epidemic, should be rewarded for meritorious deeds, the emperor doesn't want to reward him with some practical things, such as status, rights, but such a big thing, it is not good to use some gold and silver things perfunctory, is embarrassed, Zhou Jin is quite knowledgeable and interesting, said that the epidemic can be solved smoothly, not because of the son's ability, or because of his father's hard work, the sun and the moon, so sang the praise, and finally said Dad, if you really want to reward something, don't reward your son, reward your daughter-in-law, Anyway, it's all a family, and I'm honored.
The emperor thought about it, this daughter-in-law's background is indeed not high, and it was a bit aggrieved to let her youngest son marry her, but now that people have done such a big errand, the request is to reward his daughter-in-law and not himself, and it is a little unreasonable to disagree. Then raise your identity, the identity of the daughter-in-law can't be moved, and the princess and concubine are already a leader, check that her father's position has been very stable in the past two years and has not done anything, okay, with a stroke of the pen, Xie Zheng was promoted from the sixth grade to the third grade of the silver Qingguanglu doctor.
Zhou Jin knelt down to express his gratitude to the Lord Longen.
Xie Zheng was sitting at home, not expecting to be happy from heaven, and when he knelt on the ground and listened to the edict, his brain was still foggy, thinking that why did such a big good thing fall on his head?
What have you done lately? Nope......
Thinking about it, the only place that I can remember today's saint is my daughter. Thinking about what Zhou Jin has done recently, it becomes clear in my heart.
It seems that the son-in-law still likes his daughter? But as an old man, I am embarrassed to go directly to my son-in-law's house and say, you see, your father-in-law has no ability, he has been an official for more than ten years, and his official position has not been moved, this time it is still up to you, I really don't know how to express my gratitude, you see that I have a beautiful second daughter at home, otherwise...... I think too much when I think about it.
In the end, I asked my wife to express to my daughter in private, let her see when she was free, and take her son-in-law home to sit down.
Xie Yiying also felt strange when she heard this, "Hey, you did such a big thing, and finally let my father end up well?" ”
Zhou Jin is sorting out books in the study, his study does not allow outsiders to enter, and he usually cleans up by himself. Today's sunshine is just right, and the emperor gave him two days off because he just came back, so he took out the books that were not very commonly used and dried them.
Xie Yiying didn't help, the posture was quite unsightly lying in the chair and eating pears, I don't know what variety, the water was sweet and sweet, I ate one and a half in a row until I couldn't move, and lazily took a wet handkerchief to wipe my hands.
"The original purpose of this matter has been achieved, not to mention that my father will not reward me with useful things at all, it is better to use it on your father, and take the opportunity to raise your identity, not to mention that I see your father...... I guess I can really do something with this official position. ”
Xie Yiying saw that he had already put the books in place, beckoned him to come over, and then took out a new handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his forehead: "Why do you give me an identity, isn't my status of the fourth imperial concubine noble enough?" ”
"If you provoke the third emperor's sister-in-law like that, this identity is far from enough."
Xie Yiying realized that it was because of his own business two days ago, so he sat down embarrassedly, took the half of the leftover pear and cut a piece of it for him with a knife and handed it to his mouth. "Don't you think...... I'm pretty good at making trouble, huh? ”
Zhou Jin didn't dislike it, he tilted his head slightly and opened his mouth to bite it: "It's okay, I'm behind if something happens." ”
This sentence is too strong, Xie Yiying smirked twice, and then remembered what her mother explained: "By the way, my mother sent someone yesterday to say that my father was promoted, please go over and do it one day, eat and talk together." ”
"Then tomorrow, you prepare a gift." Zhou Jin took out a book from the bookshelf and handed it to her, "You said you wanted to read the local chronicles before." ”
"Hey, you remember." Xie Yiying took the book and turned a few pages, "Thank you." ”
Zhou Jin stood there and thought for a while, he knew that other women liked their husbands to send some gold and silver jewelry, but Xie Yiying seemed to be different from others.
"If I gave you a gift......
Xie Yiying didn't finish listening to his words, raised his head and looked at him suspiciously, and suddenly laughed after seeing his expression, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and he was very happy: "The book is very good." ”
"Okay."
