Chapter 260: The household department is rich
It is impossible for Liang Tao to really care about the remaining courtyard of Qi Guogong, if this is spread out, how mean will the court be?
Liang Tao very politely sent Qi Guogong out of the yamen, stood in front of the yamen, and watched Qi Guogong's carriage leave with a smile.
When the Qi Guo carriage disappeared from sight, his smile suddenly disappeared, and he frowned tightly, with a condensed face.
The two waiters from the household department stood beside him and said suspiciously: "Shangshu, this Qi country is a public acquaintance, and the family wealth has also been handed over, shouldn't you be happy?" ”
The other squire seemed to have some understanding, and said, "Shang Shu is worried that Qi Guogong is still playing tricks, and these are not all?" ”
Liang Tao shook his head and said with a sigh: "No, this Qi Guogong is just the beginning, wait and see, our household department is in trouble." ”
The two waiters were stunned and stunned, the household department was obviously making a fortune, how could there be trouble?
As if to confirm Liang Tao's words, not far from the street in front of the household yamen, a team of horse-drawn carriages drove over, and the household officials hurriedly checked it, and one ran over quickly, and said in front of Liang Tao: "Liang Shangshu, it is the Marquis of Jingning, he is also here to donate family wealth and spend the difficult times with the imperial court." ”
As soon as the official finished speaking, another one ran over and said, "Shangshu, the founding marquis of Hanoi County is here." ”
"The squire of the Ministry of Works in the Yuanfeng period is here."
"The Zhongshu Shilang of the third year of Yuan You is here, he is the in-law of the Duke of Qi......"
The two waiters glanced at each other, looked at Liang Tao, raised their hands and said, "It's still Shangshu who sees far away, and the lower officials can't wait." ”
Liang Tao waved his hand to stop their touting, and said, "You deal with it first, and I'll come forward if there is any trouble." By the way, these people can't be provoked, good tea and snacks are entertained, good words are greeted, be courteous, don't save trouble, just say so much money, let's put up with them. ”
The two waiters thought of Qi Guogong's family wealth, and their hearts were suddenly excited, and one of them said in a low voice: "Shangshu, are you all handing it over?" As in the past, into the inner treasury? ”
Liang Tao nodded, glanced around, and said in a lower voice: "Daguan Chen specially sent someone to explain, and one of them will be sent in, if one falls outside, a few of us will ......."
The two waiters looked at Liang Tao's movement of wiping his neck, his expression was dazed, and he immediately said: "Shangshu rest assured, the lower officials and others will never stretch out their hands at all!" ”
Liang Tao nodded, looked outside again, and turned around and entered the yamen.
The two squires secretly raised their spirits and waited for these big men to come and donate their family wealth.
The two of them have reached the level of squire, even if they are secretive in the court, where can they not know in their hearts that these people are inseparable from the Duke of Qi Guo!
The household department was busy here, and the county lord of Qi'an in the palace was released, her face was ugly, she had already guessed everything, and let people go out of the palace to inquire, knowing that Qi Guogong had donated all the family wealth of Qi Guogong Mansion yesterday, she stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
She hated so much that she almost gritted her teeth, ignored Queen Meng who came back, and went straight to Cining, and without saying a word, she was going to hang herself on a rope.
The frightened Ci Ning hurriedly came out to stop her, and the Empress Dowager Gao couldn't hide, so she had to let her in.
The county lord of Qi'an knelt in front of the Empress Dowager Gao, without the courtesy of the past, and without the sorrow and sorrow, he said directly: "Queen Mother, Erchen is an official aunt, and now she is homeless, please show her a way to live." ”
The dignified county lord, falling into this kind of field, saying such a thing, if it was in the past, the Empress Dowager Gao would definitely be distressed, how could she make amends.
But the current Empress Dowager Gao, with a flat expression, said, "Living? Who forced you to die? Is it the Queen? ”
Of course, the county lord of Qi'an could hear the meaning of Empress Dowager Gao's words, his face was expressionless, and he said: "Wang Lian's matter, Erchen doesn't know, Erchen is the county lord, the daughter of Emperor Yingzong, Erchen is already fifty years old, one foot in the coffin, I don't know if there will be a place to bury in the future......"
Empress Dowager Gao's eyes turned cold, and she said, "What, are you in such a hurry?" Won't you send me to the end first? ”
Seeing that Empress Dowager Gao said it so harshly, he couldn't hold on, so he looked up at Empress Dowager Gao and said, "Duke Qi is confused, but he won't do it so desperately, and most of the officials are implicated by their mother......
Zhou He's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and he looked at the county lord of Qi'an with some surprise, he really dared to say anything!
The emperor and queen are fighting for power, or the losing party, can this kind of thing be openly announced?
Sure enough, Mrs. Gao sank like water behind her, and said coldly: "Come on, drag the county lord of Qi'an out for me." Passing on my will, the county lord of Qi'an was disobedient and unfilial, took away the title of the county lord, and ordered him to think about it behind closed doors. ”
The county lord of Qi'an was full of surprise and said, "Queen Mother, you want to abolish my abolished number?" Are you trying to force me to die? ”
Empress Dowager Gao didn't bother to talk nonsense with her at all, and the palace maid Huangmen came in and quickly dragged the county lord of Qi'an out.
The county lord of Qi'an shouted, and even Emperor Yingzong was moved out, but he still failed to move the Empress Dowager Gao.
Empress Dowager Gao's face was ugly, her eyes were closed, she gasped a few times, and suddenly said angrily: "Have they always been like this? ”
Zhou He turned sideways and did not speak.
Empress Dowager Gao has always felt that she has handled the government well, the world is peaceful, and all the people are in their hearts, where will she remember these dirty things?
Empress Dowager Gao disposed of the county lord of Qi'an, and Yi aimed at the unusually fast passage of the political hall, and promulgated it.
This is the decree issued by the Empress Dowager Gao, not the holy decree of Zhao Xu, nor the decree of the political affairs hall, and the shock caused by the government and the opposition can be imagined.
The front of the household yamen became more and more lively, and there were more nobles and courtiers who came to donate, and there was a long queue in front of the household yamen.
The Mansion of the State of Qi.
The county lord of Qi'an was escorted back, yes, she is no longer the county lord now.
Qi Guogong looked at his old wife for so many years, and there were countless emotions in his heart, but he said: "The Empress Dowager was originally a way out, but now the official family and the Empress Dowager have offended us, look at it, it won't be long before we either go to prison and die, or we will go to Lingnan." ”
The county lord of Qi'an was eager to kill the Duke of Qi now, but she could still bear it, and sneered: "I won't leave, I'd rather go to prison than leave." I'm going to dredge up the relationship now, I don't believe that the official family will send my aunt to prison! ”
Qi Guogong silently did not speak, there was no such reason in the past. But today's official family is different, he will kill!
Qi Guogong couldn't convince the county lord of Qi'an, or rather, he didn't want to convince him.
Imperial City Division Prison.
The family of Gu Zhengyang, Marquis of Ningyuan, was locked up here, wearing prison uniforms, and more than a dozen people were crammed into a cell.
After all this time, the family has calmed down and has not continued to cry and fuss.
Gu Zhengyang sat aside with a calm face, even at this time, he was already the head of the family and occupied a place alone.
Old Mrs. Gu leaned against the wall, her eyes closed, her face wrinkled, and she was unprecedentedly old.
Mrs. Gu's face was full of worry, surrounded by a group of children, she quietly wiped her tears, and there was nothing she could do.
I don't know how long it took, Gu Zhengyang looked up at the window, there was some sunlight there, felt the rancid smell in the cell, looked at Mrs. Gu, and said with concern: "Mother, are you okay?" ”
Old Lady Gu opened her eyes, looked at him in a cloudy manner, and said weakly: "Later, ask the jailer for a pen and paper, write a confession book for the official, and write sincerely." ”
Gu Zhengyang hesitated and said, "Mother, at this time, is it still useful?" ”
Old Lady Gu sighed lightly and said, "Do your best to obey the destiny of heaven." ”
Gu Zhengyang was very obedient this time, nodded, and then fell silent.
In the cell, it was very quiet, no one spoke.
Dali Temple.
The case of 'burning Kaifeng Mansion' investigated by the Criminal Department has been basically concluded, and more than 10 prisoners have passed the court at one time.
The three Siqing sat in charge of the trial, and the facts of the case were simple and clear, and the trial was conducted in the morning and the verdict was pronounced in the afternoon.
Of the fourteen people, three were sentenced to be executed, and the rest were all killed!
Some of the onlookers applauded, some were indifferent, and more seemed to feel something, as if this was just the beginning!
