Zuo Jinhuan and Shi Jingqi left the capital for Shandong, and Zuo Fanchen, the governor of Jiangsu, was ordered to go to Beijing to report on his work, accompanied by Qin Xiyuan, the governor of Liangjiang. The two have been partners for many years, and their friendship with each other is unusual, and Qin Xiyuan knows that Zuo Fanchen's baby son is an upstart who has won the emperor's trust, so he is particularly entangled. Although he was a courtier who was extremely favored by the emperor before he drove the emperor, once he was a son of heaven and a courtier, no one could be sure of what would happen in the future. Qin Xiyuan can be transferred back to the prosperous land south of the Yangtze River from the post of governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, and he is a first-class person in terms of skill and talent, and he himself knows that if he can win the favor of the emperor during this debriefing, then the position of this governor can be regarded as secure, after all, Lu Simang, the governor of Zhejiang, is the emperor's confidant.

As soon as these two feudal officials entered the capital, they naturally submitted a document to the ministry first, and then rested in the post house and waited for the emperor to summon them. They are all people who have mansions in the capital, but at this critical moment, no one dares to overstep it, so they just send someone back to report the letter and rest in the post house. However, the low-grade Beijing government officials who came to visit after getting the information immediately crowded the entire gate of the post house. Some of them climbed the same year's fellow villagers, and some of them wanted to enter the body, all in all, all kinds of characters made trouble all day, and in the end, Qin Xiyuan couldn't help but take out the posture of the governor, which made the others laugh and leave.

"Lord Qin, you are powerful enough, every time a feudal official enters Beijing, there is never a shortage of these harassing people. Everyone else is kind and pleasant, for fear of bringing trouble to their future. It's good that you put up such a big shelf, not to mention that they are scared when they see it, even me, who is also intimidated by your aggressive posture. Zuo Fanchen saw that the post house suddenly became quiet, and couldn't help but laugh.

Qin Xiyuan shook his head disappreciatively. "It's because of my temper, and sometimes I can't help it if I want to, so I have to be so willful. But. Few of these filthy officials have real talent and real learning, except for flattery. What else will they have? I know how to form gangs and factions every day, and I don't know how to read or study some practices, so I know how to camp around. If I am empty, I have to give the emperor a note, and if this continues, the rule of the local officials in the capital will be rectified again. It's hard to see a little wave. As he spoke, he showed a little anger, which made Zuo Fanmu on the side stunned.

Zuo Fanchen has been an official for many years, so he naturally knows the character of this boss. Although Qin Xiyuan is honest and straightforward, it is not such reckless and unreasonable, you must know that if such a statement goes up, it will be a sea if you offend the local people. Although the grades of these Beijing officials are low, they are so mixed up with their fellow villagers in the same year, and they are also inextricably linked with some senior officials in the DPRK and China. As long as someone has a heart, maybe you can stir up a big storm. He glanced at Qin Xiyuan again, and suddenly saw a smile in the other party's eyes. It suddenly dawned on me. When the current emperor was the king of the county, he hated this relationship between the courtiers the most, and Qin Xiyuan must be fighting this idea. If it succeeds. Naturally, he can win the favor of the saints, even if he fails, it is just a reckless crime.

The two waited for the summons in the post house, but the emperor arrived at the prince's mansion.

Feng Hooligans have rarely gone to court for more than a year. Just recuperating in the house, his condition has improved, and he can even play a set of Tai Chi every morning. Rao was like this, he was still greatly surprised to see the emperor come here in a light car.

"Uncle Huang, I didn't expect you to look a lot healthier after this recuperation."

Feng Wuxian personally helped Feng Zhizhi up, and then ordered the subordinates standing on the side to settle him, "I have nothing to do today, so come here to sit down, you don't have to be formal." Of course, needless to say, that set of white dragon fish suits the truth, I know the severity, at this time, there are still many people outside the palace, either openly or secretly, and their safety can be guaranteed. ”

The emperor's remarks blocked the hooligans tightly, and he naturally didn't have a chance to say anything. Although Feng Lizhi has not yet relieved the envoy of Zongren Mansion Zongzheng, but now the Prime Minister Zongren Mansion is even Prince Feng Wuqing. Although the idle prince of the year had limited practical ability, he was fortunate to be able to employ people, so all affairs were also well organized, and others could not find fault at all. The hooligan thought that he no longer asked about government affairs, so he couldn't help but wonder about the emperor's intentions. The death of Hai Guanyu was a big blow to him before, however, when it came to the kung fu of cultivating his heart, he was much better than Hai Guanyu, but he was relieved after a few days of mourning.

Feng Lizhi thought about it and motioned to his subordinates to retreat, so that there would be no outsiders around the two, and even Xiao Fangzi and the others took a few steps back. "Uncle Huang, although I have long had a will for you to be honored at home, many court and court affairs are still inevitably consulted. You also know how many people in my position are eyeing me, and it is always impossible to blindly suppress it. Now, several of my princes are still young, and the turmoil outside has begun again, which is really annoying! ”

The emperor's direct hint suddenly shocked Feng Leizhi's heart, but when he looked up and saw that Feng Wuxian still looked as usual, he knew that this was just a complaint, and the other party had no intention of using this excuse to clean up the court, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "Your Majesty, with all due respect, the emperor's family affairs have been difficult to handle since ancient times. If the emperor doesn't want those capable ministers to fall into it, he might as well take the opportunity to knock them, or simply keep them away from the capital. Alas, the Queen Mother also mentioned this matter to Weichen, but it is not a blessing for the country to establish the prince early, so she can only wait. When the princes are older, the emperor can make a decision. Feng Wuxian couldn't help but smile and nodded, "Your words are really the same as the Queen Mother, but it is Lao Cheng's words to hold the country, of course I can save it." However, this time I did not come because of this matter, but for another case that greatly interfered with the imperial court. The bribery case of the former river governor Qi Zhenbei is now being tried in Dali Temple, not only that, but Wang Feng of Jiajun also took people to Huai'an without injury, but even if he couldn't find anything this time, what he found before was shocking, and even involved many court officials. ”

Seeing that Feng Li's face was solemn, he got up again and said, "Except for Xiao Yunchao, who has already died, I read Qi Zhenbei's confession, and it almost involved one-third of the members of the court. This case is extremely indignant to the people, and it is unthinkable that there are so many people who do not know the official raft and dare to jump down. Well, all the hard-earned money of the river workers was taken care of by Qi Zhenbei, no wonder when he took this person before, there were so many important ministers who said good things for him, it turned out that he was afraid of exposing himself. Uncle Huang, tell me, these officials who have even lost their integrity, can I still tolerate them? ”

Although he had vaguely heard about this, he did not expect it to be so serious.

Just looking at the frosty look on the emperor's face, he knew that the matter was very likely to be more serious than what he had just said. Although the river governor does not care about local government affairs, due to the huge amount of money allocated by the household department every year, the money in his hands is often in the millions. The sudden downfall of such a person is not difficult to imagine the breadth of the implications.

No matter how severe the punishment is, it is impossible to keep up with the pace of corruption of the officials, which is really the greatest sorrow of a king.

Although there were such and such thoughts in his heart, Feng Luzhi knew that these words must not be spoken. He carefully considered the sentence before he spoke: "This case is extraordinary, and it is inevitable that the emperor will be furious, but this matter can neither be too lenient nor too severe. Although the emperor doesn't say it, Weichen can also imagine the various characters involved, if it is really a good thing, I am afraid that many people will fall because of this, and the turmoil caused by the court is really worrying. Weichen knew that the emperor had not made up his mind for a long time, and it was precisely this that he had done, Lord Bao was too straightforward, I was afraid that he suggested that the emperor handle it strictly? Feng Lizhi secretly blamed Bao Huasheng as he spoke, after all, from his understanding, only Bao Huasheng would be so stubborn.

"Uncle Huang guessed wrong this time." Feng Wuxian shook his head slowly, but the expression on his face was a little sneering, "Bao Aiqing is now the prime minister, and he focuses on the overall situation, but this time he suggested that I deal with it separately." As for the request for strict investigation and handling, it was He Weitao of the Criminal Department and Shui Wuyan, the envoy of the General Political Department, who were two of them in one block, looking distressed. He Weitao really has nothing to do with this case, after all, he has a brother-in-law who can make money, but Shui Wuya himself is not so clean, and he actually follows him to admonish. "Hmph, is it really that easy to deceive me?"

He Weitao? The wind scoundrel couldn't help frowning tightly, this person with flexible wrists and exquisite faces would make this kind of suggestion? Although he did not have a deep friendship with He Weitao, he also felt that this matter was strange. It is conceivable that a shocking case involves a wide range of things, but this criminal department is still making suggestions at this juncture, but there is a suspicion of eliminating dissidents, didn't this person think of it? The more he thought about it, the more complicated he felt, so he simply put it behind for the time being, and his expression gradually calmed down.

"Your Majesty, courtiers dumping is a common thing, you don't have to be too annoyed, besides, what is going on has not yet appeared, you are bent on pursuing it, but you are in a bad mood. Weichen knew that the emperor had already made up his mind for a long time, so he would not overstep his bounds. As soon as Feng Li said this, he really noticed that a few smiles appeared on Feng Wuxi's face, and he immediately suggested, "The emperor is just here to talk to Wei Chen, an old man like rotten wood, if you just have dinner here and then go back to the palace, Wei Chen will also have a good job in the kitchen." ”

"Uncle Huang, you still know my mind best." Feng Wuxian actually personally supported the wind hooligan to get up, "I'm so bored these days, I'll be in your mansion for a while, as long as the emperor doesn't dislike me for trouble." ”

The two looked at each other and laughed, and Xiao Fangzi and the others behind them also hurriedly followed, and the palace that had been clean for a long time suddenly had a little more vitality. Lingyun Zhiyi Without a Trace Volume 10 Shengping Chapter 9 Ask for advice
