Fortunately, God has eyes, Tian Xia's parents and grandparents are old, and they have passed away one after another in a few years, which makes Xiao Zuo and officials at all levels breathe a sigh of relief. In addition to the normal Ding Worry Period, Xiao Zuo also vigorously commended Tian Xia's benevolence and filial piety, and changed his tricks to let him stay in his hometown to see the grave. It was not easy to live in peace for a few years, and those old ministers didn't mention it, Xiao Zuo almost forgot that there was still this person, but the filial piety period of this person was also full. Even the experience of killing Jiangnan without leaving a piece of armor back then has become the biggest capital of recovery!

"Tian Qing has not been in the court for a long time, and he has kept filial piety for so many years, so it is best to recuperate for a while. Besides, I still have a big responsibility for him to take on, so I don't have to let him take action if I investigate a corrupt official. As for the selection of the Qin Mission, let's discuss it again. ”

Stubbornly objected, but when he returned to the harem, his ass was not yet hot, Tian Xia's fold had already been served, sprinkled with thousands of words, and his writing was gorgeous and outstanding, but all in all, it means: I have been hidden for the minister for many years, my hands have been itching, and I have enough strength to be loyal to the country, so I will hand over the matter of corrupt officials to the minister. If you agree, the minister will live up to the emperor's expectations and return the emperor to the south of the Yangtze River. If you don't agree, the people may say that you intend to appease, and you are not a good emperor. If you do not love the people, the people will not love you in the future. And the ministers will tell the people what you mean.

For this kind of hob meat, in order to directly admonish the master who dares to jump into the oil pot, Xiao Zuo really has no choice, and he is almost forced to nod. However, the uneasy premonition in his heart was extremely accurate, Tian Xia had left Beijing for less than two months, and the official's case had not only been tried clearly, but also implicated a large number of even more corrupt officials, as well as many unjust cases of bullying men and women and unexplained life lawsuits.

It can be said that 90 percent of the hundreds of officials in the entire Jiangnan officialdom have not been spared. This is still Tian Xia has been at home for many years, and his heart and means have softened. understands that this world is not black and white, so the net is open, and those who voluntarily turn themselves in, have a good attitude, can report others, and are not greedy will be spared.

Xiao Zuo didn't understand, why did such a courtier think of an old minister? Why did he not even send much to Tian Xia to the officers and soldiers who followed the guard, let alone use the local military force, why did he have such great ability to set off the entire Jiangnan officialdom alone? Those officials in Jiangnan will only hold silver. But you don't have the means to protect yourself?

He wanted to find a reason to call Tian Xia back, lest the corrupt officials be investigated more and more, causing the people to be dissatisfied with the imperial court, and then doubting his ability to govern the country. But at this time, as more and more secrets were revealed, the people hated corrupt officials to the point of gritting their teeth. The worst thing is that there is only a wind out of nowhere, saying that he is not in the right position, and the heavens can't see it. So corrupt officials are rampant. If the heavens do not change the lord again, it is a sign of the destruction of the country.

Xiao Zuo was furious, what he didn't understand was why he had been on the throne for so long. The people still sang the praises of him as Mingjun, but why did there always be discordant voices in the past two years? First, the legend of the son of the ten kings, and now he is questioning his throne, which is really pressing the gourd and scooping. He didn't suspect that someone was secretly doing something, so it was strange.

can make him angry, rumors are getting stronger and stronger among the people, but no matter how you check it. I just can't find the source, and I want to make an example, but I'm afraid that I will give the political enemies behind the scenes an excuse to attack again. This is like the feeling of a thorn in the back, you can see it, but you can't catch it or catch it, it's very uncomfortable. In the end, his emperor back then, now Lord Sikong, proposed: You might as well express your stance directly, turn passivity into initiative, and let the people believe in the emperor and the court, rather than individual ministers.

As a last resort, Xiao Zuo announced that he would punish corrupt officials and rule the officials in a clear manner. But in this way, it is impossible for Xiao Zuo to appease both sides. Because the people are praising each other, but the officials are all in danger, after all, they have been officials for many years, and they have a little bit of a handle outside. There are also many people who have received hints from unknown degrees and unknown figures: the emperor has mastered what they have done over the years!

It is difficult to protect the emperor and be an official, but it is still necessary to be liquidated, and the courtiers' unfirm loyalty is even more shaken. Some people secretly thought that it would be better to change the emperor, and when the time comes, the world will be amnesty, and when the later dynasty is employing people, they will never pursue the previous matter, and they will be safe. It's amazing, and you will be honest as an official in the future.

These are the reasons why Xiao Shiyi has been busy in the past few months.

He is the one who holds the record of 100 official merits, and it is very simple to find someone as a breakthrough. The top red girl in Peach Blossom Pond, the official's subordinates and the outer room sent to him, and the family members in the outer room, arranged all the way, and they didn't know it. In the court, there are old ministers who mention Tian Xia, let alone him operating secretly among the officials. Even Tian Xia's ambition was re-picked up by him by finding someone. In the end, it is a little disheartening to be trapped in my hometown for many years.

As for the spread of news about various corrupt officials, inciting public indignation, and spreading that the throne was not right, so it led to the rumors that those ghosts and ghosts could not be suppressed, it was naturally planned and implemented by Shui Shi Qiao. Cao Gang is in his hands, like an arm, and his return to Jiangnan is like a fish in water, which is much freer than when he was trapped in the capital, and has returned to the appearance of the previous killing decision.

It can be said that this time Xiao Shiyi and Shui Shi Qiao joined forces, and the cooperation was seamless and smooth. This led to a strange idea for both of them: if they didn't have Ruri, they would be good brothers. Now, he can only become a rival who can't resolve grievances.

"Now my imperial uncle is anxious, and there is a lot more gray hair. It's up to you what to do next. "In early autumn in August, according to the weather of previous years, it is still autumn tiger weather in Tokyo, and it is a little cold in the morning and evening, but it is still very hot at noon.

At this time, Liuli and Xiao Shiyi sat in the shade of the flowers in the courtyard to drink tea and play chess. Liuli's chess skills are extremely poor, but Xiao Shifei said that her temperament is too sharp, and hand talk can make her temperament more stable and mellow in the future, so he forcibly pulled her.

But Liuli didn't think anything else, these days she was locked up in the house and listened to all kinds of gossip news, ate and slept, slept and ate, and didn't do much exercise, but her figure was a lot more rounded.

"Lend Yuan Danqing to me." Liuli had already thought of a plan, but the important people in the Cao Gang followed Shuishi Qiao back to Jiangnan, and all the people left in Tokyo were dark piles, which were not urgent and difficult, and it was inconvenient to use, so they had to borrow people.

"Okay." Xiao Shiyi agreed happily, "That kid looks kind, but it's actually a false scripture." If you let him do something bad, he will be mad. What do you want to do, though? ”

Liuli smiled slightly, leaned over, got closer to Xiao Shiyi, and told him about the plan.

Xiao Shiyi smiled and nodded Liuli's forehead, "Little villain, fortunately I didn't provoke you, otherwise you used these bad tricks on this king, and this king really can't deal with it if he thinks about it." ”

"Each other, each other." If she is a little villain, then he is a big villain. Looking at the person who forced Xiao Zuo, even if it was her target of revenge, she was a little sympathetic. blunt knives kill people, and let people put their necks together, among the bad guys in the world, Xiao Shiyi is called second, and no one dares to call him first.

She didn't ask in detail, but she was only afraid of Xiao Zuo's emperor...... Even if I wasn't co-opted or influenced by Xiao Shiyi, I must have been influenced by something else, so I came up with that trick of drinking to quench my thirst, so that Xiao Zuo stepped on the pit he dug step by step.

However, she didn't realize that under Xiao Shiyi's water grinding kung fu, she now has become accustomed to having him by her side. What's even more terrifying is that he approached her, approached her, and made some physical contact, as long as it was not too obvious to imply, she had accepted it gladly, and was not very vigilant.

If she is a little white rabbit, she is now gradually approaching the wolf's mouth. If she were a beast of prey, she would be stepping into the trap of the hunter unsuspectingly. Xiao Shiyi had extraordinary patience with him. Moreover, in Xiao Shiyi's silent offensive, she was not aware of her changes at all.

"If you want to destroy it, you will make it crazy, this is your strategy against Xiao Zuo." Liuli casually dropped a son on the chessboard and said, "What about me?" If you let it fall hard, first hold it high. It's really cool to fall like that. ”

"That's a good summary, but you're cool, right?" Xiao Shiyi has adapted to Liuli's speaking style, and a few fresh words or sentences pop up from time to time. He looked down at the chessboard again, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Oh Xiao Liuli, you haven't won a game against me with all your efforts, and now throwing chess pieces in your hands makes me a failure." ”

Liuli looked at the chessboard, didn't she, and couldn't help but laugh proudly, "My trick is called a clever trick to break the game, His Royal Highness the King of Linshan, can you write me a word for me?" ”

Looking at Liuli's bright smile, as well as the snow-white neck exposed on her collar, the jade hand holding the black cloud, and the undulating moving curves under the clothes, Xiao Shiyi only felt that his mouth was dry, so he had to pour a large bowl of herbal tea: When this matter passes, he can keep the clouds open and see the moon, right? Otherwise, he would really be unable to bear it if he waited like this.

Liuli didn't know Xiao Shiyi's thoughts, so she called Yuan Danqing over after lunch. As soon as she told her plan, Yuan Danqing's eyes lit up like a small light bulb with electricity, and sure enough, Xiao Shiyi didn't make a mistake, doing bad things made him very happy, especially to repair the sanctimonious Wen Ningzhi.

"Be careful, don't be discovered." Liuli instructed, and handed Yuan Danqing the detailed topographical map of the Ning'an Hou Mansion and the timetable of the palace guards' patrols. She had lived there for a long time and was very familiar with it. What's wrong with road idiots? Go, go, go, and admit it.

"Princess, don't worry, my subordinates are capable people, and I will personally go out, and I will never break someone's hands or be caught." Yuan Fanbiao grabbed his hair, a person who is usually very stable, smiled like a happy college boy at this time, "Actually, the front of this matter is not fun, and the back is fun enough, you allow me for two days, at least I have to create public opinion." Besides, I have to arrange all the ways to preach. (To be continued......)
