Chapter 696: Uneasy
There is no secret in Sijiu City, the Military Aircraft Department is drafting an order, and the news of Prince Hui's request to bring Qi Ying to justice spread, and the imperial historians who were already excited about the defeat in the first battle of Dagukou have gone up to the impeachment, and some of the Manchu people who know that Qi Ying has arrived at home are rushing to Prince Hui to report it, wanting to ask for merit and reward.
And Qiying has lost power for more than ten years, and now he has committed such a monstrous disaster, and no one wants to be implicated in the protΓ©gΓ© of the year, so the attitude of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military in this matter is surprisingly unanimous, and they all think that Qiying's crime is unforgivable.
Su Shun was also very angry when he heard about this, and he also wanted to ask the emperor to punish Qi Yingming, but later found that even if he didn't beg to see Qi Ying, he would be punished strictly, so he simply asked a few friends recommended by Zeng Guofan to help draw up a fold and hand it over, and then single-mindedly continued to track down the deficit of the household department over the years.
I don't know if I don't check, I'm so angry that he wants to kill someone!
Just when he thought that this might be just the tip of the iceberg and reminded himself that he should endure it any longer, his family member Ah Fu hurriedly chased to the lobby of the household department and reported the news he had just found out from the Old Summer Palace.
"Master Yin didn't know if he had taken the wrong medicine, so he went up to the fold, and he quarreled with the prince in the court, and he cried bitterly and made the prince unable to get off the stage...... "Ah Fuyu finished reporting the ins and outs of the matter, and took out a copy of the "palace gate copy", and said cautiously: "This is the excerpt on Master Yin." β
The old man Yin mentioned by the family is Yin Gengyun, the superintendent of Huguang Dao, and the prince mentioned by the family is Prince Zheng Duanhua.
Yin Gengyun advocated the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and invited "Shiyi's long skills to control Yi", Su Shun did not feel strange, because he has always valued Yin Gengyun very much, knows Yin Gengyun very well, and has a good personal relationship, otherwise he would not recommend Yin Gengyun to be the supervisor of Huguang Dao Imperial History; Duanhua was worried that the foreigners would retaliate after the victory, and there would be endless troubles, but Su Shun did not mean it, and even felt that Duanhua was an old man's move to seek the country.
The only thing he didn't expect was that the person he valued would have a quarrel with his brother in front of the emperor and so many courtiers.
Thinking that Duanhua must be very angry, Su Shun said hatefully: "This Yin Zhanfu is too bad at being a man, political discord is not in harmony with political discord, why should the prince not be able to step down!" β
"Master, why don't you invite him here, you talk to him well, let him hurry up and ask the prince to ask for guilt?"
"Although his official is not big, his temper is not small, and he is greedy for fame, even if he is invited over, he will not go to ask the prince for guilt."
"What then?"
"His wings are stiff, and he doesn't have a prince in his eyes, how can there be me? That's it, let him go. β
"What about the prince?"
"Let's go back first, you don't care about the prince's side."
β¦β¦
Sending away his family, the more Su Shun thought about it, the more depressed he became, he really felt like he was moving a stone and smashing his own feet, and he was thinking about how to comfort Duanhua after returning at night, and Menzi came to report to Fengchen Yuanqing Han Xiufeng to ask to see him.
He never expected that Han Si, who had always disliked showing his face, would come, so he quickly calmed down and asked for help.
Han Xiufeng followed Menzi into the lobby and respectfully saluted.
Su Shun beckoned Han Xiufeng to sit down, and asked curiously: "Zhixing, aren't you stationed in Nanyuan, how did you have to enter the city empty?" β
"To tell you the truth, Xiufeng took the liberty to come to meet the adult, because he wanted to ask the adult for a favor."
"What's the busy?"
Han Xiufeng looked back and confirmed that Menzi had withdrawn from the lobby, and then he arched his hand and said: "My lord, Qiying returned to Beijing without a decree, and he still resisted the order and went home after the court, Xiufeng knew that his crime was unforgivable, but he still wanted to dare to beg the lord for the sake of his second son Qingxian's conscientious errands for the court over the years, and help him to intercede with the emperor, and ask the emperor to give him extrajudicial mercy and spare his life." β
"Zhixing, do you want to help Qiying intercede?" Su Shun thought he had misheard.
"Xiufeng knows that this matter has embarrassed the adults, but if he doesn't save him when he dies, if he doesn't do anything, Xiufeng really has no shame to face Qingxian who broke his family and inquired about the love of the imperial court!"
"When preparing for the establishment of Houyi Hall, Qingxian paid tens of thousands of taels of silver, but he was ordered to run an errand, and it has nothing to do with you. Zhixing, this is not a trivial matter, you can't distinguish between public and private! β
"Xiufeng understands, but Xiufeng has been a colleague with Qingxian for so many years after all."
"Then why don't you go and plead with the emperor by yourself?"
"My lord didn't know, as soon as he heard the news, Xiufeng went to the summer palace to hand over the sign and beg for an audience, but the emperor didn't leave Xiufeng's sign. In desperation, I can only dare to ask to see the adult. β
Su Shun groaned: "The emperor must know why you asked to see." β
"Okay, the emperor really doesn't have time to summon Xiufeng."
"Don't be stupid, it's your best that the emperor doesn't see you." Thinking of Qi Ying's accident, all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were falling into the well, so the person in front of him risked the danger of angering the emperor to help Qi Ying run. Thinking of Yin Gengyun, who was extremely important before, although he had some knowledge, he really didn't dare to be complimented in terms of how he behaved in the world, Su Shun couldn't help but sigh: "Zhixing, you are good anywhere, but you are too affectionate and righteous." It's better to say that you can do something else, but this thing can't do it, and you really can't have a woman's kindness. β
"Adult ......"
"Don't say it, I can't help with this," Su Shun thought about it and stared at him very seriously and reminded: "Listen to my advice, hurry back to Nanyuan, don't help run anymore, otherwise not only will you not be able to save Qiying, I'm afraid even you will be implicated!" β
"Lord Xie mentioned something, I caused trouble to my lord, Xiufeng retired."
β¦β¦
Han Xiufeng didn't know the severity, in fact, he also thought that as long as he could keep Qingxian's family, he would be benevolent and righteous, but he thought that Qingxian was a filial son, thought that Qingxian had done so much for Houyitang over the years, and then thought that even if he was implicated, at most he would only lose his official position, and he didn't want to do this official for a long time, and he felt that if he sat back and ignored his conscience, he tossed and turned all night and didn't sleep well, so he went to the Old Summer Palace before dawn today to hand over the sign and beg for an audience.
didn't see the emperor, Su Shun was unwilling to help, Han Xiufeng weighed it and climbed onto the carriageway: "Xiaoshandong, go back to the Old Summer Palace." β
"Fourth master, what are you going to do in the Old Summer Palace, let's go back to Nanyuan."
"Let me go back to the Old Summer Palace, go back to the Old Summer Palace, less nonsense."
"Yes."
When I arrived at the Old Summer Palace again, it was already afternoon.
Since the day he was promoted to Fengchen Yuanqing, he was no longer a "little military aircraft", so he couldn't go to the military aircraft office. But as Fengchen Yuanqing, who is in charge of the ban on the royal garden, he can go to the outer court except for the duty room of the Military Aircraft Department, and even the inner court can go accompanied by the chief eunuch.
But he didn't dare to go to the inner court just like that, but waited outside the palace gate closest to the military aircraft duty room.
I don't know if the imperial historian on duty at the gate of the palace knew that he had the right to inspect the palace, or if he was in a panic, not only did he not drive him away, but he talked to him about Yin Gengyun's recital, and Yin Gengyun's feat of arguing with Prince Zheng in the court today.
"Lord Han, do you know, together with today's excerpts, Xingnong (Yin Gengyun's number) has successively put on nine words and words, and the loud music is the so-called 'raising foreign nine sparse'! Prince Zheng relied on his power to oppress people, his voice was fierce, and he was criticized for what to do, he was not defended by Xing Nongli for hundreds of words, and he was speechless, he was really a model for my generation! β
Yin Gengyun, Han Xiufeng has heard of this person more than once, and knows that Yin Gengyun is a person who is Sushun, but he never expected him to tear his face with Prince Zheng Duanhua.
Looking at the "palace gate copy" that Yushi took out like a trick, Han Xiufeng said absentmindedly: "A good 'non-war is not enough to protect itself', Yin Yushi is really a great talent." β
"Xingnong is worried about the country and the people, in order to clarify the difficult world, try to save the declining luck, and repeatedly blaspheme the monarchy, and the seal is connected. Lord Han, I bet it won't be long before the apricot farmer's voice will shake the world! β
"It's nature, it's nature."
Although Han Xiufeng said this, he was secretly thinking in his heart that you imperial historians are all masters who stand and talk without backache. For example, it is said that "non-war is not enough to protect oneself", but that is to let others fight. However, this Yin Gengyun has some knowledge, at least he knows that he should learn from Yi's long skills to control Yi.
While perfunctory and cranky, Bai Ye came out of the military aircraft duty room.
Han Xiufeng hurriedly cheered up, dusted off his horse's hooves and bowed down to greet him.
"Brother Han, are you waiting for Peng Zhongtang?"
"Lord Yuzhongtang, the lower officials are also waiting for you."
"Wait for the old man, this is a rare thing, let's go, let's talk while walking."
"Lord Nakado, please."
Bai Ye didn't know what Han Xiufeng was busy with during this time, but he knew very well that he was a celebrity in front of the emperor like Wen Xiang, so he walked to a secluded place and stopped and asked, "Brother Han, what's the matter?" β
"Xia Guan is a little difficult to speak, but if you don't ask Zhongtang for help, you won't have a chance......" Han Xiufeng slowly explained the purpose of this trip with an embarrassed face, and after finishing speaking, he bowed down and said: "Xia Guan knows that this makes Lord Zhongtang embarrassed, Xia Guan just wants to implore the Lord to help me if he has the opportunity." β
Bai Ye never thought that he was actually here to help Qiying intercede, and he was silent for a long time before sighing lightly: "Brother Han, it's not that the old man doesn't help, but he really can't help." β
"Xia Guan understands, Xia Guan is saying that if there is a chance......"
"If there is a chance, the old man will naturally speak, after all...... After all, he had a kindness to the old man back then, but he was too confused to cause such a big disaster, I am afraid that the old man would not have the opportunity to speak. β
"It's enough to have Lord Zhongtang's words, and the officials will keep it in mind."
"Brother doesn't need to be polite, you're not for yourself."
Gong sent Bai Ye away, and ushered in Peng Yunzhang, followed by Mu Yin and Du Han.
Han Xiufeng didn't miss any of them, he begged them all one by one, and even the last foreman to come out, Zhang Jing and Cao Yuying, were stopped by him and asked for help.
Wen Xiang saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.
It wasn't until everyone was gone that he walked out of the duty room and pulled him aside, and asked worriedly: "You always remind me not to do what I know." But what are you doing now, and why are you doing it? β
"Brother Bochuan, I'm different from you, I can lose my office, but you can't lose it."
"Speaking of this again, I listened to you before, but this time you have to listen to me, hurry back to Nanyuan, don't come again!" Afraid that Han Xiufeng wouldn't listen, Wen Xiang said meaningfully: "If you can do this, you have done your best." What's more, Qingxian and his Ama fell into such a field, it was purely self-inflicted. β
Thinking that he had asked for everything he could beg, and then he could only resign himself to fate, Han Xiufeng nodded helplessly: "I know, I'll go back." β
"We're not sorry for Qingxian, stop thinking nonsense, and don't do stupid things again!"
"Got it, go first, I'll ask Xiao Shandong to send you a letter if there's something. If there is news of Qingxian and Ama in the palace, you will also remember to send someone to Nanyuan to inform me. β
"Okay, okay, let's go, let's go."
