Chapter Twenty-Five: The Aftermath
Bao Huasheng only felt dizzy for a while, and the emperor's sudden blow really scared him. "Your Majesty, if the emperor thinks that Weichen has any inappropriate words on weekdays, or even something illegal, please make it clear. Weichen believes that he is cautious in his words and deeds, and has not violated the law of the country. ”
"Be cautious in what you say and do?" The emperor could no longer contain his anger, "If you are cautious in your words and deeds, you will fold and bow to what should be played in a dense way?" Be cautious and act with a few Fujianese people in advance? If you are cautious in your words and deeds, will you greet the scribe in the study first? Bao Huasheng, Bao Huasheng, you have disappointed me so much! ”
Bao Huasheng's expression at this time was as if he had seen a ghost, if the emperor's first sentence of accusation could still be explained, the second sentence could barely be perfunctory, and the third sentence he couldn't find a reason at all. On weekdays, he can refute those traitors and criminal officers, but he can only open his mouth, but he can't spit out a word.
"Nothing to say, right?" The emperor slowly walked up to Bao Huasheng and looked down at him condescendingly, "I originally thought that you would be a smart person if you didn't get involved in the party struggle of those rebels. You're still young, and I wanted to leave it to the prince, but I didn't want to get into it. Do you know the consequences of your share of the fold? What now, I killed one son and sent another into the tiger's mouth, are you satisfied? ”
Bao Huasheng met again and again and said: "Wechen will die, but Wechen can swear to the sky, that twist and turn does not have any selfish intentions, this heart can show the sun and the moon, and there will be no frame-up." ”
"Did I say you were framed?" The emperor's tone was indescribably mocking, "Who are you participating in, who didn't prepare well in advance?" And who else you can't get involved in? Hmph, it is said among the courtiers that 'people don't do bad things, and the court is not afraid of Bao Shenben'. Isn't that you? Your participation is indeed not chasing after the wind and shadows, but what I ask is your heart, as a courtier, you ask yourself whether it is a pure minister! ”
The words are heartfelt and bluntly pierced Bao Huasheng's heart, yes, he is indeed not a pure minister, his lifelong dream is to be a famous minister who assists the monarch, it is precisely because of this that he can not be afraid of the threat of those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and take care of the Supervision Yuan in a good way, in order to leave a name in history. This time, I took great pains to make this turn, I thought that I would succeed in one fell swoop, but I didn't expect that after staying in China for many days, the result was actually touching the emperor's dragon scales. But he was born stubborn, although his own approach is a little despicable, but he does not violate the law of the country, and he eliminates harm for the people, what's wrong, could it be that the emperor feels sorry for his son?
"Bao Huasheng, I won't say much, I don't bother to investigate this matter, and I can't tell the fault clearly. But I want to remind you, don't just look ahead when doing things, do you know the origin of those Fujianese? Do you know who the scribe who went up to the study is? Take 10,000 steps back and say, if the society is unstable because of your twists and turns, what face do you have standing on top of the court, wearing this superb official uniform? ”
Under a series of questions, Bao Huasheng's face finally changed, could it be ...... Does the emperor mean that he was being used by others? Impossible, impossible! However, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, the strange chance encounter, the seemingly unintentional conversation, and the strange behavior of the scribe, who did not expect that he regarded himself as a hero, but became a tool for others.
The emperor sighed, shook his head and said: "You step aside, think about my words, think twice before doing things, don't always charge into battle, you are the imperial history, and you have led a group of descendants who are not afraid of power, so that you can really show your ability, and you are the true character of the official." What is there to be self-contained in earning a clean official name alone? ”
Bao Huasheng walked out of the Qinzheng Hall step by step, and the people who came and went looked at this gray-faced man with some surprise. In just half an hour, he seemed to have reached the twilight of his life all of a sudden, old and decadent, and the emperor's words seemed to still ring in his ears, striking his heart defense, which was about to collapse.
The so-called Qincha Xingyuan was just a temporary requisition of a rich family's mansion, and the family heard that the county said that the prince Qincha was coming, and vacated the house without saying a word, and then there was a lot of chickens and dogs jumping to decorate, and when the wind arrived without a trace, a brand-new mansion had been presented in front of him.
"It's too extravagant." Feng Wuxian smiled bitterly and looked at the house that was a little too big, if it was placed in the capital, I am afraid that a crime of exceeding the system would not be able to escape. But this is Fujian, where the emperor is far away, and he lives in someone else's house, I'm afraid I can't pull down my face and be disrespectful to the master, isn't that similar to a white-eyed wolf?
"Where, His Royal Highness has a noble status, and the lower officials should do their best to accept it. In order to protect the safety of His Royal Highness, the subordinate has transferred a battalion of soldiers to be responsible for guarding and keeping it safe. Garrison Liu Qizheng stammered.
"Lord Liu, don't bother." Feng Wuxian said thoughtfully, "My father gave me these five hundred elite soldiers, so there must be no problem in protecting the safety of this king. Moreover, there are too many people, and there are many alarms in and out, so it is better to avoid them. ”
Liu Qizheng was a little embarrassed, and the horse's fart was slapped on the horse's feet, but his face has always been thick-skinned, otherwise he would not be assigned to this messenger. "That is, these soldiers of His Highness are all the elite of the capital, and these subordinates are naturally not comparable. I don't know what else His Highness has to order, and the humble post immediately ordered those subordinates to do it! ”
"Forget it, Lord Liu has worked hard today, let's go back and rest first." Feng Wuxian glanced at Liu Qizheng meaningfully, and said with a pun, "This king has been tired from his journey, and he wants to rest first, Zixu!" ”
Liu Qizheng is not a fool, as soon as Xu Chunshu stretched out his hand, he hurriedly saluted: "In this way, the lower officials will not disturb His Highness's rest, and retire first." If Your Highness has any orders, please inform the lower officials at any time, and you will be on call. ”
Feng Wuxian nodded with a smile, turned around and went back to the house first, only to see Chen Lingcheng sitting on the Taishi chair with his eyes closed and recuperating, very comfortable. However, his mouth seemed to be humming some unknown tune, and his knuckles were rhythmically tapping on the table.
"Old Chen is really good Yaxing." This is not his own mansion, and Feng Wuxian still maintains the title on the scene, "Don't help me come up with ideas, those officials almost want to eat me!" ”
"Not necessarily, I'm afraid. Why did the old man see that His Royal Highness's words shook the audience, and Fujian officials did not dare to act rashly? By the way, he also sold a favor to the dying person, and by the way, let those sub-officials not dare to act rashly, such a skill, do you still need the old man to do it? ”
"Okay, Old Chen, don't make fun of me." Feng Wuxian sat down and poured a sigh of tea that was already a little cold.
Chen Lingcheng looked at the childish Feng Wuxian with some amusement, "How can you do this?" If the people in the palace see it, they may not know what to say about you! These habits are nothing in the eyes of outsiders, but insiders are different, they will think that you, the prince, are not noble enough. ”
"Okay, Old Chen, let's get to the point!" Feng Wuxian was most impatient with these torturous rules, and he was finally so far out of the palace, he always wanted to let go, "They are all local snakes, I am a prince who only bears the title of the king of the county, how can I suppress these bastards?" ”
"Has Your Highness really thought of suppressing them?" Chen Lingcheng took a look, "Tacitly, what His Highness thinks, the old man knows very well." By the way, your staff member has some real talents, far from being comparable to ordinary people, you might as well let him use his brain for some things, don't always think about the old man. The old man is a doctor, it is better to settle down, otherwise he will be charged with interfering in politics, and ten heads will not be enough to cut off. He looked strange.
Feng Wuji's heart tightened, Chen Lingcheng would never say these words for no reason, he must have smelled some wind. It seems that he really has to brake quietly, those officials, let them jump out first, anyway, the father didn't give a deadline. However, the victims of the disaster in Fujian may not be able to survive that time, so they must first think of a foolproof plan to help them, otherwise they will make people laugh. But where do you get the money?
