The etiquette of the Shu envoy's audience is very cumbersome, and most of it is nonsense.! In diplomatic work, there are a lot of official clichés, and serious things are carried out in private. However, the Shu envoy gave Jiang Kui's corpse to Daqi, which still greatly changed the attitude of many people.

The whole process lasted more than an hour. After that, Cheng Xuan sent Song Zheng to Tang and Xue to the post house to rest. Next, Song Zheng will also meet with the Ministry of Rites to start a final discussion on all matters in Qi Shu. When Song Zheng made Shu envoys, although he reached many agreements with the Shu Emperor, they could only be implemented after the consent of the little emperor Xiao Ying and the empress dowager Huang Jiao.

After Song Zheng left the Taiji Palace, Xiao Ying nodded lightly to the Qian Man Cabinet. Qian Manguan took two steps forward, cleared his throat, and was about to announce his retirement from the court, but saw Wang Zhaogeng, the imperial historian, stand up. The words full of money were in my mouth, so I had to swallow it again.

"What's going on with Wang Qing's family?" Xiaotong had to endure it.

"Your Majesty, please be Marshal Han Zhong Zhaoxue." Wang Zhaogeng said loudly, and then raised a notebook above his head. [

continued: "Ten years ago, Han Zhong, the marshal of Great Qi, was imprisoned for the defeat of the Shu Pass army. It is rumored that the marshal and marshal are not secretive, which caused the leakage of our army's plan to attack Shu. There are even rumors that Han Zhong fornicated with Xishu. Han Zhong was also imprisoned for this and finally died in prison. At the time, everyone thought they were wronged. In the following ten years, the folk passed on the marshal's loyal name, which has not faded to this day. Two years ago, Jiang Kui, the deputy commander of the Imperial City Division, fled to Shu, and it was rumored that the person who leaked information to Shu was Jiang Kui. Now that Jiang Kui's body is being returned, it is the time to review Han Zhong's case. The ministers invited our emperor, a man of high moral and respectable ability, to review Han Zhong's case with the Criminal Department and correct his name! ”

Xiao Ying's face sank like water. Only the money full cabinet saw that when Wang Zhaogeng had just spoken, the little emperor's hands clenched violently. And as he spoke, the Emperor's hands tightened until their joints turned white.

As for why the emperor was angry, Qian Manquan also understood in his heart. Han Zhong's case is not unrehabilitated, in fact, Xiao Ying also wants to rehabilitate Han Zhong. However, the matter had to be raised by the emperor himself, or by the emperor at the direction of an official, and then the matter was rehabilitated.

Right now, it is a great credit to rehabilitate Han Zhong. Xiao Ying will officially govern next year, and mentioning this matter by him can play a role in winning people's hearts. You must know that although Han Zhong has been dead for ten years, his influence in the army is still huge, and many generals are from Han Zhong's disciples, and they are all in office now.

Originally, the little emperor wanted to wait for the envoys of Shu to leave, so he brought up this matter, and let Song Zheng, who he valued, or others, lead the case of Han Zhong's rehabilitation. Once Han Zhong's case is cleared, the person in charge of the investigation can also be promoted, and some of the old forces involved in the case can be purged. As a result, it was easier for the little emperor to master the military and political affairs.

What Xiao Ying didn't expect was that she had a good plan, but she was cut off today, how could she not be angry? In fact, Song Zheng also planned to do so, and he got direct evidence from Jiang Kui.

At the end of last year and the beginning of this year, when the prince had just died, someone had asked for Han Zhong's rehabilitation, but the little emperor did not respond, but only signaled that he knew, and he was not punishing the person who was on the book. As a result, many people in the court also knew the little emperor's intentions, so no one talked about it anymore.

Wang Zhaogeng didn't know what wind was pumping in his brain, or he was instructed by someone, but just after the Shu envoy finished the audience, he immediately raised this matter, and the anger in Xiao Ying's heart can be imagined.

After Wang Zhaogeng finished speaking, the little emperor motioned for the money cabinet to present the fold, and concealed his anger by looking through the folds.

After a long time of incense, Xiao Ying finally regained her composure, and said lightly, "Wang Yushi's folds are beautifully written, since you have brought up this matter, you must have carefully studied the Han Zhong case, so tell me, how did the Han Zhong case happen?" Is there any evidence for his rehabilitation? ”

"The so-called Han Zhong fornication in Xishu case, the people think they are wronged. The details of this case are also varied. The culprit is Jiang Kui, which is one of the legends. The minister had to remind His Majesty to observe it. As for the evidence, Jiang Kui's corpse is also. Of course, if this case is to be thoroughly investigated, when there are people of high moral and respected morals, together with the three legal divisions and the imperial history, they will investigate in detail, and they will definitely be able to get to the bottom of it. ”

Wang Zhaogeng did a lip service, and blocked the words of the little emperor: I am the imperial history of words, I have the right to hear, and I also have the right to suggest, as for how to do it, who to let it do, you are the emperor, you have the final say.

Xiao Ying was silent for a moment, then turned her head and said, "Old Guogong, what do you think of this matter?" ”

Xiao Tong stood up and arched his hands, "Everything is judged by the Holy Will." "What kind of man he is, he doesn't take this ballast.

"Dong Qingjia, you are the secretary of the Criminal Department, what do you think? When should the Han Zhong case be reviewed immediately? The little emperor bit the word "immediately" very hard.

Dong Lan didn't want to get involved in this matter, at least not now. can be named by the emperor, he is the secretary of the criminal department, he can't avoid it, and it's not good not to answer. I saw that after a moment's pause, he replied, "Han Zhong's case has a major stake and is widely implicated, so it is better to be prudent and prudent in everything." ”

"Yes, it's important, prudent and prudent." Xiao Ying repeated two sentences, raised her head and said loudly, "Except for Wang Yushi, who wants to review Han Zhong's case?" ”

The people in the court are all human spirits, and they all see the emperor's meaning, who wants to touch the mold? Wang Zhaogeng glanced at Xiao Tong, only to see his eyebrows lowered, his hands holding the wat in his hands, looking like he had nothing to do with himself, and he couldn't help but secretly complain.

Xiao Ying snorted lightly and said, "What Wang Yushi said just now seems to be crying out for Han Zhong all over the world. But right now, in addition to Wang Yushi, one person proposed to review Han Zhong's case. It can be seen that what Wang Yushi said is not true. ”[

Wang Zhaogeng knelt on the ground, scolding his mother in his heart, but he couldn't help it. The emperor is increasingly authoritative, and although he doesn't care about some small things, he is never ambiguous about big things. Now that Han Zhong's big case is involved, no one is willing to act against the emperor's will.

At this time, Guo Xingjia stood up, "Qi Qi Sheng, since the beginning of this year, due to the investigation of the problem of empty salaries, there have been huge changes in the army, and personnel adjustments have been frequent. Not long ago, the Shuguan silver case was reviewed, and it is still eyebrow-raising. Recently, there was another case of Kaibao Qianzhuang in Jiangning City, and there were different opinions for a while. Now that the Shu envoy has just arrived in Jiangning, Wang Yushi has requested a review of Han Zhong's case, which seems inappropriate. In particular, Han Zhong's case involves the military and is widely implicated, and a review now will cause a new round of fluctuations. It was the old minister's suggestion, so you might as well wait. After the Shu envoy returns, or if the Shu Guan silver case has a result, it is not too late to discuss Han Zhong's case. ”

"Lord Guo's proposal is a serious word for Lao Cheng, and the minister seconded it." Dong Lancheng immediately replied.

"What Lord Guo said is extremely true, and the minister seconded it!" The head of the imperial history supervised the imperial history, and Zhu Zhihua also played.

"The minister seconded the proposal!" "The minister seconded the proposal!" All the bigwigs stepped forward.

In the end, with the "seconding" of the national government, the matter was finalized.

Xiao Ying glanced down, and when she saw that everyone had lowered their heads, she stood up, flicked her sleeves, and walked towards the back of the hall.

"Retreat!" The money cabinet said aloud and followed.

As soon as the emperor left, the courtiers began to talk about it. Xiao Tong didn't say a word, turned his head and walked outside the hall, and the people next to him naturally dodged the road and let Xiao Tong go first.

"Smack!" In Xizhai, a teapot shattered in response to the sound, and the money cabinet trembled with fright, and he didn't dare to squeak, but he was silently chanting in his heart: The eleventh of this month.

Xiao Ying has a lot of temper, and when she is angry or unhappy, she loves to drop things, either teacups or teapots, or paperweights, inkstones, etc., basically she catches what she throws. Among them, teacups and teapots are the most, and this thing is very crisp when it falls to the ground, and it is louder than other things, so it is the easiest target for Xiao Ying to vent his anger. Fortunately, Xiao Ying does not have high requirements for things, and the things she dropped are not particularly valuable. Otherwise, at the average rate of falling things once a day, it would really cost a lot of silver.

After dropping things, Xiao Ying sat behind a few cases and sulked, as for Wang Zhaogeng's share of the folds, before he smashed the teapot, he had been torn to pieces.

I didn't dare to clean up the cabinet full of money at this time, otherwise Xiao Ying would be even more angry. After about a cup of tea, Qian Manfang coughed lightly, and the little eunuch outside the door got the signal and stepped into the hall softly to clean the ground.

The light cough of the money cabinet was not only a signal to the door, but also the beginning of persuading the little emperor.

"Holy Lord, you don't need to be so angry." Qian Man's cabinet pinched up the shredded paper on a few cases little by little, "That Wang Zhaogeng is a second pole, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty know your mind, that is, he is talking nonsense." Why should the Holy One be like him? ”

Qian Manji said while observing Xiao Ying's face, "In fact, most of the ministers are sensible people. No, the saint asked two questions casually, and the ministers all spoke with the saint. ”

Xiao Ying's anger eased a little, "You say, is this Wang Zhaogeng intentional?" ”

"This slave doesn't dare to talk nonsense, if she says it wrong, won't she be blinded to the Holy Hearing."

"But it's not a problem."

"Oh, if you want to say it's intentional, it's not like it. Wang Zhaogeng was originally a royal history, and some proposals were normal. If you want to say something, he doesn't seem to have a hard top with the saint, and he can be considered reasonable. ”

"If you say anything, it's like saying it in vain." Xiao Ying said angrily, waited for a while, and then Xiao Ying chattered again, as if talking to herself, "I always feel that he seems to have something else to say, choosing a respected person to lead the rehabilitation case?" Hmph, how many people are there who are highly respected? all know that it is a great credit to rehabilitate Han Zhong, and they all want to take a bite. This Wang Zhaogeng may be a pawn, sent out to test my tone. ”

The money cabinet didn't dare to speak anymore, but just lowered his head and sorted out the messed up cases. He knew in his heart that Xiao Ying's thinking was becoming more and more mature, and he rarely only looked at superficial phenomena. After all, he has been taught by Huang Yuandu to watch the twists and turns since he was a child, and he has experienced so many years, so his experience is naturally getting richer and richer. [

The little emperor is no longer small, and he is no longer easily fooled.

Song Zheng was also angry when he learned about what happened in the court later. Such a good thing, just because the timing was wrong, it was actually stirred up.
