Chapter 11: Rules?
Banshuang said, she fled to the North Palace Gate with Wei Changchao that day, but a black shadow suddenly jumped down on the palace wall and kidnapped Wei Changchao, she didn't see the person's appearance clearly, only smelled the fragrance of Poria cake.
Not to mention that there are so many courtiers in today's court who like to eat Poria cakes, even back then, Chu Wunian didn't know who liked to eat in the palace and in the court and the opposition, she was only four years old at the time, and she was still a little kid who could only chase the colorful butterflies in the imperial garden.
Now I know that I like to eat this Poria cake, and I am the only one who likes to eat this Poria cake.
Shaw...
The carriage stopped outside the prince's mansion, and when Zhao Zhixun picked up the poria cake and walked to the corridor of Shou'an Hall, he found that this person was still following him, and he turned around and teased, "Aren't you afraid of the old lady?" ”
"This Poria cake, no matter how you say it, was also bought by the slave maid, and the slave and maid should follow it." Chu Wunian raised his eyebrows and wiped his mouth.
Zhao Zhixun didn't stop her, and let her follow.
This time, when I went to Chu Wunian again, I found that Xiao Shi was a pure-hearted person with few desires, her legs and feet were not good, and she would only chant scriptures on weekdays and plant flowers and plants in the yard.
It's just that she doesn't seem as happy as she seems.
Walking out of Shou'an Hall, Chu Wunian was thinking about how to get close to the Xiao family, when a strong wind suddenly hit behind her, and a figure crossed by her and landed in front of Zhao Zhixun, "Lord Wang, something happened!" ”
Qin Tian said in a hurry.
Zhao Zhixun quickened his pace and entered the study with him, and Chu Wunian stood under the corridor.
"Say."
Zhao Zhixun shook his robe and said cleanly.
Qin Tian lowered his head, "After the morning court today, Lord Sima was on the way back to his house in the carriage, when the wheel suddenly fell off, and others fell off the carriage, seriously injuring their legs and feet. ”
Sima Xiu was the local official sent by King Wen of Zhou to go out to collect taxes with Zhou Fulin, and the highest tax official of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Da Situ.
Two days later, it was the sixth day of the first month of November, and the local officials who went out to collect taxes had an accident at this juncture, and it was clear that they wanted to delay Zhou Fulin's process.
Zhao Zhixun's ink eyes sank slightly, "Can the perpetrator be found?" ”
Qin Tian continued: "The coachman in the house refused to admit his guilt, only saying that he had carefully inspected the wheel before the early dynasty and did not find any omissions. ”
"I've already checked it in the morning, and that's the hands and feet done in the palace." Zhao Zhixun snorted coldly, if you can have this ability in the palace, Zhou Hou is the most suspicious.
I didn't expect that she would not give up, she could fool Emperor Wei of the previous dynasty and ascend to the current throne, and she really still has the means.
"There is nothing abnormal on the prince's side, but something happened on the queen's side." Qin Tian said with a look of remorse.
Zhao Zhixun didn't have time to think about this, suddenly, his dark eyes lit up, and he hurriedly got up and said, "Go and prepare the carriage, I want to enter the palace!" ”
"Yes!"
Qin Tian hurriedly walked out of the study with him one after the other, Chu Wunian just wanted to follow, but Yutang had already followed one step ahead of her.
Chu Wunian glanced at the empty Qilin Courtyard and walked lightly towards the east wall.
In King Wen of Zhou's imperial study, the prince's ministers had already exploded inside, all talking about Sima Xiu's fall from the carriage, and people were lying on Sima's mansion, but these people were in the imperial study for a long time and said that they should wait for him to be injured before leaving.
Lu An quietly leaned into his ear and said, 'Prince Xun is here', and he was relieved.
Zhao Zhixun walked up to those ministers and said with a smile: "If you really care about Lord Sima, you should go to his mansion to visit him, and come here to say what to do?" Not giving them a chance to breathe, he turned to face King Wen of Zhou, "As for the local officials who travel with the second prince, Your Majesty should pick a new candidate, this tax collection is a major event that cannot be delayed, don't lose a big one because of a small one." ”
"What are these words, Lord Wang? In previous years, the taxes were all paid by Da Situ, and since Lord Sima's leg was injured, he should naturally wait for him to heal before setting off, which is the rule of the Great Zhou over the years! The eldest Gongsun Yu retorted sharply.
"Rules?" Zhao Zhixun's eyes were slightly cold, "Then according to what Lord Gongsun said, if Lord Sima dies in Huangquan today, will there be no need to collect taxes this year?" The hundreds of officials in the court, thousands of officials and dependents, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the army all don't need to eat, and they all live by these inflexible rules! I think you should lead by example. ”
Gongsun Yu's face turned red when he fought back, and he scolded him angrily, "You are a fool!" ”
Zhao Zhixun glanced at him, and bowed to King Wen of Zhou again, "So for the sake of the stability of the Great Zhou, Your Majesty should re-select a local official to go out with the second prince to collect taxes, the minister thinks that Lord Jiang Yi, who has been with Lord Sima for many years, is very good, among the local officials, although his merits are not outstanding, he can be diligent and diligent for the people, and his reputation among the people is very good. ”
On the way to the palace, he picked all the officials in the local officials, and finally chose this Jiang Yi, who has been unknown and diligent for many years.
The prince's ministers were dumbfounded when they heard this, but they didn't expect that in just a few hours, Zhao Zhixun would redraft the candidates.
King Wen of Zhou was worried about the twists and turns of this errand, and his face was relieved at this moment, and he immediately agreed to Zhao Zhixun's meaning, "Do what Prince Xun said, and the local official who went out to collect taxes with the second prince this time was replaced by Jiang Qing." ”
The prince's courtiers bowed their heads, and they all hated it.
As soon as Zhao Zhixun's colorful auspicious cloud court uniform appeared in the Qilin Courtyard, Chu Wunian ran forward with a long cardboard box, and said with a happy face: "Lord Wang, there is someone from the second prince's mansion, this is what he asked the slave to give to you, saying that it is a thousand-year-old ginseng!" ”
Chu Wunian looked like he had some terrible treasure and handed it to him with a smile.
Zhao Zhixun gave it to Yutang and instructed him, "Take it to the old lady." ”
She wanted to say that she would just run, but when she saw his piercing eyes, she had to swallow the words back into her stomach.
Following Zhao Zhixun into the house, he immediately lay on the tea couch, his eyebrows tightened, and his breathing was a little heavy.
