Chapter 19 Nanjiang Chess Game

Prime Minister Lu frowned because of Xiao Limo's title, but he knew that his nephew was a person who was used to being measured, so he didn't say much, and said, "Go ahead, comfort this fledgling child." ”

Xiao Limo smiled and said "yes". I only heard Prime Minister Lu continue: "It's time for us to make the next move." ”

Xiao Limo thought about what Luo Yunyao might be in after this move. Thinking of the girl who cried in his arms and scattered three thousand green silks under the moon that day. My heart hurts.

Yao'er, just use you this time, and from now on, your glory will be given to you by my own hands. Holding you in your hands, in your heart.

Xiao Limo made such a promise in his heart.

An imperial promise.

He didn't know it at that time, but the most important thing was that the emperor's promise was not credible and could not be allowed. Just like his father and mother.

When the prince came to Shangshu Mansion, Luo Yunyao looked dazed. I guessed that it was because of the previous frame matter, and I came to discuss.

When greeting the prince, he found that this person seemed to be coming to hang out casually, and he walked leisurely, dressed in a gentle green bamboo and gold edge.

Luo Yunyao looked at this person and was stunned for a moment, and said uncontrollably: "Weichen greets His Highness, I don't know what His Highness needs to discuss this time?" As he spoke, he led the prince to the guest hall.

Xiao Limo waved his hand: "Why should I be so estranged from Yao'er." Just take me for a walk. ”

Luo Yunyao thought to herself that we were not unfamiliar, and still said with a smile on her face: "Your Highness, please don't dislike the simplicity and vulgarity of the Weichen Mansion. After a pause, he continued to be curious, "I don't know what His Highness is doing here." ”

Xiao Limo really walked around casually as if he was at home, and replied: "Didn't Yao'er say that he was waiting for my presence at any time? ”

Luo Yunyao choked: "Your Highness is busy with official business, and now that I think of Weichen, I'm afraid there is business."

Standard officialdom. Respectful and witty, and straight to the point.

Xiao Limo didn't appreciate it: "It's true that I just miss you." He walked in front of Luo Yunyao, turned his head to look back at Luo Yunyao and said, "I wonder if you are really as you said." ”

Luo Yunyao suddenly looked at Xiao Limo, watching him make a scene in the sunset, his face was hooked by the dusk, but his originally light face was warm.

Luo Yunyao was stunned, thinking to herself, she didn't seem to have seen Qin Jinghao suddenly look back under the sunset. It must look better.

Xiao Limo thought that his love words moved Luo Yunyao, and the corner of his lips was a warm smile.

The two walked to Luo Yunyao's backyard, it was autumn, and the deciduous yellow butterflies were spread on the ground, and when they stepped on it, they were soft and green, making a rustling sound.

Xiao Limo discussed with Luo Yunyao along the way about the layout of her mansion and some folk matters...... Communicate like a friend.

Like a friend, he didn't discuss political affairs.

Luo Yunyao cautiously talked to Xiao Limo, for fear that she would offend this cold noble son by saying something wrong. She wants to cheer up, but she is not very interested in these topics, and she doesn't talk about the topics she is interested in.

Luo Yunyao thought about it and rejected her own idea again. In fact, she is also interested in these topics. It's just a matter of who you are right. For example, Qin Jinghao.

Xiao Limo didn't notice the listlessness in Luo Yunyao's heart. In fact, he didn't know much about the man. In his eyes, Luo Yunyao is a little girl with proper manners in the officialdom, smart talking, and occasionally confused.

Xiao Limo hung Luo Yunyao for so long and still spoke: "I heard that Yao'er donated money to the people of Nanjiang to have a place to live. Gently stepping on the fallen leaves, "For the people of Nanjiang, Yao'er works hard and now lives in a simple place." ”

Luo Yunyao and Qin Jinghao didn't plan to leave their names in Jinanjiang. Later, for some reason, some of the Nanjiang victims who were relieved knew that it was Luo Yunyao's credit.

For some reason, Qin Jinghao didn't say. Luo Yunyao asked a few times if she was hard-hearted when she saw this person, so she let this matter go.

However, the name of Luo Yunyao who stayed. Qin Jinghao didn't say a word.

Luo Yunyao sighed again and again that he was stupid, obviously he contributed more money and made more money.

Qin Jinghao said that this head is the same on everyone. And this reputation is actually more conducive to Luo Yunyao, who is now famous.

Luo Yunyao hurriedly shook her head, and the smile on her face was rare to the bottom of her heart: "This is what Weichen should be." Where to live like this is shabby, less than one-tenth of the people of Nanjiang. His Royal Highness said this, and Weichen was ashamed. ”

I thought that this was a good thing that I and Qin Jinghao had done together. Luo Yunyao was happy in her heart, and walked briskly at the autumn leaves, "Your Highness hasn't done a lot for the victims of the Nanjiang disaster. All Nanjiang can have now is a hymn to His Highness. ”

Xiao Limo looked briskly and melodiously: "It's just a job." He said lightly. looked at Luo Yunyao again: "What about Yao'er?" ”

Luo Yunyao looked at his interested look, with some expectation. I didn't know how to answer for a while. After thinking about it, he said tentatively: "Wei Chen naturally admires and admires His Highness to the extreme. ”

Then she looked at Xiao Limo and slowly smiled on her face.

The autumn wind rises. The fallen leaves and Xiao Limo's clothes flew together.

Nanjiang was in turmoil, and the peasants revolted. In the name of giving food to eliminate corrupt officials.

As soon as the Nanjiang rebel army came up, they took the head of the magistrate who bullied the people and embezzled money from the people.

This incident immediately caused a sensation in the government and the opposition. For a while, people were panicked, but at the same time, people were excited.

Of course, those who are panicked are those corrupt officials. Naturally, it is the people of Nanjiang who have been wronged.

Originally, the Nanjiang army was in the name of cleaning up corrupt officials, and after killing the corrupt officials in Nanjiang, they thought it would be fine. But the Nanjiang army went all the way north, and that posture seemed to be going to hit the imperial capital.

It goes without saying who the big corrupt officials in the imperial capital are.

The officials forced the people to rebel, and such officials originally committed the emperor's taboo.

Luo Yunyao didn't know whether to admire Concubine Liu's tongue and lotus, or whether to admire the emperor's mediocrity and lust.

According to the general idea, it should be to hand over the Xiangguo Marquis and execute him.

And His Majesty the Emperor, under a few soft words from Concubine Liu, turned out to be investigating the corruption of the Marquis of Xiangguo's Mansion.

When the emperor in the court said this, if it wasn't for Qin Jinghao repeatedly warning her with his eyes, he would definitely go out to show the emperor's face.

It is very strange that Prime Minister Lu Cheng did not have much objection to this matter. Luo Yunyao guessed that he might be as disappointed in the emperor as Qin Jinghao.

Lu Cheng expressed his understanding that he did not kill Xiang Guohou but wanted to search Xiang Guohou. and proposed that Luo Yunyao could do it.

Luo Yunyao looked dazed, glanced at Qin Jinghao, and clearly saw Qin Jinghao frowning, with worry in his eyes.

Luo Yunyao was also apprehensive in her heart, but when she saw Qin Jinghao like this, her heart warmed, and she was no longer worried, she calmly stepped out of the queue and knelt down. The temperament is relaxed. She didn't want Qin Jinghao to worry.

As soon as Prime Minister Lu Cheng's words came out, the emperor immediately began to groan.

I only heard Prime Minister Lu continue to persuade the emperor: "Your Majesty, you can know that the Nanjiang incident is not so big now. Why? After selling it for a while, he continued: "Your Majesty, do you know who is the most prestigious official in the Nanjiang area today?" Who is most popular with the people? Under the emperor's curious "oh", he bowed and continued, "Naturally, he is not an untalented old minister, Luo Shangshu is really terrifying." He turned around and looked around before saying, "Luo Shangshu poured all his belongings into the house and gave his best to help Jinan River." ”

There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with that.

But Qin Jinghao and Luo Yunyao both knew that these words pushed Luo Yunyao to the cusp. Luo Yunyao smiled bitterly in her heart, Qin Jinghao always wanted her to be mediocre and low-key. Now it's in the limelight. I don't know how Qin Jinghao will be disappointed.

Qin Jinghao looked at Luo Yunyao and saluted in a proper manner, and said politely: "Prime Minister Lu Cheng has broken the minister." This is what Wechen should do. Kowtowed, and said: "Prime Minister Lu Cheng is really too modest, and the victims of the Nanjiang disaster will not forget Prime Minister Lu Cheng and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who saved them from the water and fire." ”

Prime Minister Lu wanted to put himself in, but Luo Yunyao naturally refused to let them have a good time.

Luo Yunyao thought that she was so unmoderate now, would Qin Jinghao not want her as a little brother. How worried Luo Yunyao was about this, how much she hated Lu Chengxiang, who pushed her to the point of being hot and watery, gritted her teeth.

Hearing this, the emperor was stunned and looked at Xiao Limo, who had always been light-hearted.

Xiao Limo realized his gaze, so he stepped out unhurriedly and saluted, but he didn't say a word about his credit. A typical appearance of deep merit and fame.

Prime Minister Lu glanced at Xiao Limo with a smile, with appreciation in his eyes, and did not say a word about this. Instead, he said: "With a character like Luo Shangshu, it is naturally better to investigate this matter." It can also serve the hearts of the people of Nanjiang. ”

The emperor had been thinking about letting Luo Yunyao investigate the matter since just now, and now "hahaha" laughed and appreciatively agreed to Prime Minister Lu's proposal, "It's really a blessing from heaven for me to have Luo Aiqing in Xiqin." It's really good to leave this matter to Luo Aiqing. I made the decision of the land phase. ”

Luo Yunyao is neutral, not either party between the two factions. Let Xiang Guohou and his gang go to investigate, how could Prime Minister Lu Cheng's gang agree. They did not ask for the execution of the Marquis on the spot, which was already to save face for the emperor. Moreover, they couldn't find out what they couldn't say, which further fueled the arrogance of the Xiangguo Marquis. Such a big matter, this pig's head thought that the emperor had lightened the treatment? Will you not make trouble in the future?

As for letting Prime Minister Lu Cheng check here. The emperor couldn't be clearer in his heart, Prime Minister Lu Cheng looked at the elegant and courteous here, and it looked like he couldn't be bullied, but now that the Marquis of Xiang Guo made a mistake, Prime Minister Lu Cheng would definitely push him to death. This brother-in-law has been an official for many years, and his wrists are ruthless, and the emperor knows it.

The emperor doesn't want to lose the Xiangguo Hou, who has the most power if he loses the Xiangguo Hou? Prime Minister Lu and the crown prince. At that time, it is a question whether he can sit firmly in this world. The balance of rights is extremely important to the Ninth Five-Year Honor.

Originally, according to the official system of Western Qin, each performed its own duties. This investigation of corruption will never be the turn of the military department to investigate. However, in this imperial court, the emperor can only be 100% sure that Luo Yunyao is innocent, a clean person who does not belong to the two factions.

The emperor appointed Luo Yunyao as the imperial minister to investigate corruption.
