Qin Shujiu's favor has returned, since Liqing hugged Qin Shujiu from the East China Sea Pool and returned to Zichen Palace, the people in this palace have gradually become restless in their hearts, who would have thought that Qin Shujiu's favor would return so quickly, that is, Liqing treated her far better than before. But those who have a heart can look at it in their eyes, and their hearts will be indignant.

After Qin Shu's drinking, the dynasty gradually regained his favor and gradually regained his power, and Qin Shangshu also repeatedly completed errands for Liqing in the previous dynasty. Needless to say, the case of the criminal department next to it is the matter of corruption, since Liqing made a decree to deal with it strictly, Qin Shangshu has almost repeatedly investigated and smoothed it, so that people feel that he has already started this matter earlier, but at that time, His Majesty did not have a will, and he did not dare to deal with it strictly. Now that His Majesty has made an order, the evidence that was investigated earlier can now come in handy, but all investigations will be able to find out the root cause.

Corruption is the malignant tumor of the imperial court, and it should be beneficial and harmless to be uprooted in the imperial court. It was the excerpt that was investigated and sent to the Yanying Palace, and after looking at the excerpt played, Li Qington was a dragon's heart.

During this period of time, Qin Shujiu was waiting in Yanying Hall alone, and now Qin Tianhao's excerpt was sent in, and Liqing Longxin Dayue handed the fold to Qin Shujiu, and also took the excerpt handed over by Liqing, Qin Shujiu looked at it carefully, and his face was full of joy. Even though she already knew in her heart that the situation would become what it is today, the surprise on her face was also indispensable, and she immediately closed the fold and stepped aside, Qin Shujiu bowed and celebrated.

Liqing was in a good mood, but he couldn't look down on Qin Shujiu's false courtesy, and immediately stretched out his hand to signal her to sit on her side, Liqing looked at her and said: "Now that half of the dirt in the court has been cleared, this time it is all your father's credit, Shu'er, how should I reward your father and daughter?" It was happy with his face, and even his words were full of joy, when he heard Liqing say this, Qin Shujiu was busy.

"My father is a courtier. Everything he did was something that should be done, and his father trusted his father to hand over such important matters to his father for investigation, and his father felt that God was grateful to share his worries with all his heart. Investigating and dealing with major corruption cases, my father felt that he was trusted by His Majesty. It is only with all one's heart that there is no intention of seeking a reward. ”

Qin Tianhao is a clean and good official who is dedicated to the government, and Liqing's current reward should not be acceptable, although Qin Shujiu's remarks made Liqing feel satisfied when he heard it, he still said: "Even if Shu'er said this, I still feel that I should be rewarded." Your father has solved a major matter on my mind, and this alone is not enough to reward me. ”

Qin Shangshu uprooted not only some officials at the lower end, but also many officials at the top who could not get rid of it, such an intricate tumor now asked Qin Tianhao to remove half of it, no wonder Liqing was so happy and needed to be rewarded.

Qin Tianhao's current achievements, if you want to talk about it, it is also thanks to Qin Shujiu and others, more than ten years of painstaking management and painstaking efforts, in order to be wiped out once they enter the court, they don't know how much evidence they have in their hands over the years, and now these evidences are in Qin Tianhao's hands. No matter how cunning those old foxes were, they were indefensible under the evidence. After many years of thinking, he has now borrowed half of Qin Tianhao's hand, and it can be regarded as taking what he needs between the two.

Liqing remembered Qin Tianhao's kindness in his heart, as for the reward, Qin Shujiu did not dare to ask for it, and it was also because of Qin Shujiu's humility that Liqing was determined to be rewarded, and immediately smiled at Qin Shujiu, Liqing said: "Your father impeached these henchmen this time, in addition to a major scourge to the imperial court, that is, the silver to be greedy that year was enough to relieve disasters more than three or four times. I have always had clear rewards and punishments. Misdeeds are heavy punishments, and this merit must also be rewarded heavily. It is Shu'er who feels that this is Qin Shangshu's duty, and my reward must also be received, otherwise it can be regarded as resistance. ”

It is because of Qin Tianhao's great achievements. Liqing will laugh like this, since Liqing's will has been decided, if you thank you more and refuse, it will inevitably make people feel hypocritical, and at the moment Qin Shujiu is indebted, and he thanked Liqing for his father's favor. Seeing Qin Shujiu and thanking her, Liqing looked at her and smiled: "Since Shu'er has thanked me for my reward for Qin Shangshu." Then I will accompany me to think about it, but what is worthy of Qin Shangshu for this errand he did for me this time. ”

Liqing's intention to reward was already long, but he never wanted to ask Qin Shujiu what to reward, so he immediately asked Qin Shujiu to pause for a moment and then responded: "Your Majesty feels that what is rewarded, how can you ask the concubine for such a thing." ”

"That's your father, I should have asked you, but I also thought about it, Qin Shangshu is the most honest and honest and hates gold and vulgar things, if he rewards gold and silver, he is only afraid of polluting Qin Shangshu's integrity."

Qin Tianhao is now strictly investigating corrupt officials, if Liqing rewarded gold and silver, it is indeed not appropriate, after hearing Liqing's words, Qin Shujiu should respond to the head, that is, after seeing Liqing, he smacked his tongue and sighed lightly, and then said with a clear heart: "Since gold and silver cannot be rewarded, then I will mention his official position." Xiaoyan's eyes fell on Qin Shujiu, and Liqing said loudly: "What does Shu'er think of the position of a first-class lieutenant?" ”

Since the fall of Taiwei Xu, this position has been empty since the position of Taiwei of Yipin, how many people are thinking about this position openly and secretly but dare not guess Liqing's thoughts, who knows that now Liqing actually gave this official position to Qin Tianhao. Although Qin Tianhao has made meritorious contributions to do a lot of errands for Liqing now, this merit cannot reach the third level of official leap. Even if Li Qing felt that he could afford it, but Qin Tianhao, who had dug up a lot of corruption, had offended many powerful people in the DPRK and China at the moment, if he was still in the position of the Criminal Department, he would still have the power to conduct a thorough investigation in his hands, and many people would not dare to poison him openly, and if he was promoted to the position of captain. Not to mention that there is no real power in his hands, it is difficult to protect himself.

Without the real power to investigate the case, he has no foundation in the eyes of a first-class civil official, and I am afraid that it will not be long before someone will have to call someone to pull him.

Liqing's reward seems to be a generous reward on the surface, but in fact, it makes Qin Shujiu's heart panic. Whether Qin Shangshu will be persecuted by traitors because of this time, this matter does not matter to Qin Shujiu, the only thing she is afraid of is that Qin Tianhao is still useful at the moment, and there is one more thing that must be strictly investigated by this upright Shangshu of the Criminal Department, if they lose their power now, it will be extremely unfavorable to them.

was already uneasy in his heart, Qin Shujiu bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, this reward is too heavy, and the concubine's father is afraid that he can't bear it." ”

"Can't stand it? Shu'er's words made me not understand clearly, how could my Aiqing not be able to bear such an official position, I said that he could afford it. And he could bear it. ”

"But." couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at Liqing, Qin Shujiu opened his mouth and said: "Thanks to His Majesty, the concubine should have thanked His Majesty for his father first, but his father's temperament is also clear. The spleen ** things like my father have to be explored. In this way, it is appropriate to be above the criminal department, but if it is really in the position of the captain, the concubine is afraid of her father's temperament, and I am afraid that she will not know how to turn around, but it can be ......."

"Shu'er is worried about Qin Shangshu's temperament. In the future, when he is an official, he will offend others. Qin Shujiu's words are also very clear, and people can know her thoughts as soon as they hear it, and when Liqing opened his mouth to inquire, Qin Shujiu replied: "The concubine doesn't mean this, the concubine just feels that her father is still in the third grade Shangshu is very appropriate." Although my father has found out a lot of corruption and bribery cases at present, but this court is intertwined, if you want to investigate it deeply, it is definitely not a one-day thing, and my father is also familiar with all of them. The father's temperament and concubine are also clear when they are daughters, and if this matter is not completely investigated and handled by His Majesty, the father must be worried in his heart. If His Majesty really wants to reward his father, he will let His Majesty carefully investigate the party in the court and dig out the dirt hidden in the depths. ”

Whether it is an official position or gold and silver, it is unsightly for an upright person, according to Qin Tianhao's feeling, he is as Qin Shujiu said, rather than being promoted to a first-class civil official, it is better to let him dig and investigate to make Qin Tianhao knock on his grace. The daughter of the next family entered the palace as a concubine, who is not dedicated to the glory of the whole clan, or for the sake of her father, brother, official road, and heart are calculating. However, Qin Shujiu is different from others, Liqing intends to reward her, but she is anxious to thank Liqing for her kindness for her father, which is different from ordinary people, and Liqing stares at it.

also understood that his words were a little too much, and Qin Shujiu was holding his breath and thinking about how to deal with it. Just when I was in a hurry, I suddenly heard Liqing say.

"Shu'er's meaning, I understand, Qin Shangshu is a person who can be trusted by me, since he is a person I can trust, his personality should also be clear. Since he was ordered to investigate the matter strictly. I will not stop there, what is needed to thoroughly investigate the internal turmoil in the court is to make a move, if the investigation is halfway through, it will be stopped, and it will not be good to investigate the situation in the future. ”

The words that suddenly came out made Qin Shujiu a little confused, so he thought about it for a moment and then looked at Liqing, he couldn't guess what this current saint was thinking about in his heart, and after thinking about it for a while, Qin Shujiu asked out loud: "Your Majesty, what you said is ......."

The inquiry did not need to be full, but looked at Qin Shujiu and asked cautiously, Liqing smiled and then said: "I don't think what I think of the position of the secretary of the criminal department, only Qin Shangshu is the most suitable in this court, and I only belong to him, so naturally I will not take the real power of the criminal department from his hands." ”

Liqing's words were very clear, but it also made Qin Shujiu frightened, for many years in previous dynasties, it was the first time he had seen a king like this. was promoted to the official position, but he kept his original official position, this is the first time he has heard of such a thing, even if Qin Shujiu has already understood the meaning of Liqing in his heart, but he still does not dare to make a judgment in his heart, and he will ask again at the moment. Liqing undoubtedly hid it from her, and since Qin Shujiu inquired, he replied with a smile.

"Although these three divisions and three dukes are important ministers in the court, I have already thought about it, if these six official positions are carefully considered, they are not inevitable, there are three provinces and six departments in the court, that is, one qiē government can be clear, and the three divisions and three dukes are becoming more and more redundant. I have already made up my mind, this position of Taiwei is only a reward for your father, but the real power of the post of Taiwei is taken back by me, that is, your father is still the secretary of the Criminal Department, Jian Dali Siqing, and acts as usual. ”

The three divisions and three dukes are official positions that have existed in all dynasties, and now Liqing's words are actually to cut their real power, and the right to reward the official position. Li Qingguo is a strange person, and his mind is really hard to guess, even if he wants to reorganize the law of the dynasty, he will move when he says it, and he immediately made Qin Shujiu shocked when he heard it.

If it is anyone, I am afraid that after hearing Liqing's words, I will be surprised in my heart, Qin Shujiu is also surprised, but more than stunned, he is happy. Although Liqing's words were only half said and not completely explained, Qin Shujiu still got a glimpse of Liqing's thoughts from this sentence.

This saint of Jiang Guo is afraid that he feels that his power is too loose, and he intends to concentrate all his power in the hands of one person.

I'm afraid it's in danger.

Qin Tianhao's reward this time is just the first step of Liqing's mind, although this reward is bright and bright, but it is not half real, but it makes Qin Shujiu feel a burst of joy, and now he is the first step for Qin Tianhao to thank Liqing Longen.

Qin Shujiu's knock, Liqing should be satisfied, that is, he nodded and then looked at Qin Shujiu, Liqing smiled and said: "This Qin Shangshu's grace is knocking, when will you thank you?" The sudden fall of the words made Qin Shujiu feel even more confused when he heard it, and when he didn't contemplate and then looked at Liqing, Qin Shujiu asked out loud: "The concubine's grace?" It was to ask Liqing to answer: "Exactly." After speaking, he looked at Qin Shujiu with tenderness, Liqing motioned for her to step forward and then shook her hand, and then said.

"The previous incident with the queen mother was caused by me to make the wronged, I know that you are not that kind of person, but you also saw the anger of the queen mother at that time. The queen mother's will will punish you, and as a son of man, I should not disobey the will of the queen mother, that is, let you suffer in the Tanting Courtyard. ”

In such a place, with such grievances, suffering is inevitable, although it is clear in Liqing's heart, Qin Shujiu still does not want to talk about the suffering he has suffered, but he always laughs and says that as long as Liqing believes in her, the next qiē will not matter to her.

The most difficult thing in the world is such a woman, who only asks for the trust of one person, and no matter how many grievances she suffers, she will grit her teeth. Qin Shujiu's intelligence and sensibility is the reason why Liqing spoils her so much, when she looks at her affectionately, Liqing said.

"After entering the palace, you have suffered a lot of grievances, although you have a weak temperament, these are not taken to heart, but the more I look at this heart, the more uncomfortable I feel. Qin Shangshu did a good job and relieved the big worries in my heart, that is, I rewarded him and I also rewarded you, which can be regarded as compensation for the grievances you have suffered over the years. ”

Speaking softly, Liqing's words were light and clear, and the tyranny who had no imperial power in his words was like a soft murmur between lovers. As he spoke, he looked at Qin Shujiu with a smile, raised his hand to pull her slightly loose hair behind her ears, and Liqing said.

"The queen is on the throne, the Hou family is not virtuous, the position of the four concubines in the harem is now missing two, and one of them is given to my Shu'er, what do you think?"

Liqing's reward, Qin Shujiu didn't think about it in his heart, but he never thought that the reward he wanted to give was actually a first-class concubine.

At the moment, Qin Shujiu was already stunned, so he was busy knocking and kneeling, and he didn't dare to accept this share of Long's grace. Qin Shujiu was slightly frightened in his heart, but Liqing was smiling, kissed Qin Shujiu and helped Qin Shujiu get up, met her eyes, Liqing said.

"I had this intention in my heart when Die'er was still there, but then too many things happened, and I couldn't find a suitable opportunity. Now it is just right that your father has made such a meritorious deed, and I have made you a concubine, which is reasonable and very good. ”

Liqing had this idea for a long time, but it was only now that he took advantage of Qin Shangshu's meritorious service, and it was because of Liqing's smiling eyes that his friendship was understood, Qin Shujiu no longer refused, but thanked Liqing Longen. (To be continued.) )
