Gao Shen said unhurriedly: "I see that at the end of the report, it is written that the disposal plan will be put forward by the Sichuan-Shaanxi Economic Envoy, it is better to deal with it specifically, we will wait for a few days, and we will discuss it after Li Yanqing's report is sent." ”

Fan Zhixu waved his hand, "Li Yanqing's disposal can only be regarded as the opinion of the local government, as the central court, we also need to come up with our own plan, when the two plans seek common ground while reserving differences, and the conflict will be decided by the official, or decided by the court debate, or everyone sits down to negotiate, there are many ways, in a word, we must take care of the interests of all aspects." ”

Everyone has stated that as the highest authority of the imperial court, it is the responsibility of the Zhizheng Hall to propose a package of solutions as the attitude of the imperial court.

Gao Shen was helpless, so he had to agree with Fan Zhixu's suggestion.

In the imperial study, Zhao Gou listened to the reports of Fan Zhixu and Lu Yihao, and carefully read a disposal proposal they drafted, he pondered for a moment and said: "Chengdu Mansion should be familiar and not born, the new prefect appointed me has agreed to Li Yanqing's suggestion, and promoted to the original sentence Xu Qinghui as the new prefect, I am going to notify the government hall in the next two days." ”

Lu Yihao said anxiously: "Zeng Xiulin committed such a big crime, as a general sentence, how can Xu Qingwei be innocent?" Even if he has nothing to do with Zeng Xiulin, at least he should wait for the investigation to be clear before appointing, such a hasty appointment, Wechen is worried that the ministers of the DPRK and China will not be convinced. ”

Fan Zhixu sighed secretly, the official family was indeed a little impatient, but he could also understand that the Emperor Taishang had already intervened in the deployment, if the new prefect was not settled in time and was recommended by the Emperor Taishang first, the official family might not be able to refuse.

But the appointment of Xu Qinghui is really inappropriate, but it is easy to be caught by the emperor, in this matter, Fan Zhixu also has the heart to help the Son of Heaven, he bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, although Chengdu should be familiar and not born, but Lu Xianggong does make sense, no matter how innocent and self-disciplined Xu Qinghui is, but he also has the fault of not reporting it, in this case, the most is to maintain his original position, let him continue to serve as a general judge, and it is not appropriate to promote with illness, Weichen recommended Lin'an Mansion Shao Yin Weijin to serve as the prefect of Chengdu, this person is very capable, upright and strict, He is especially good at dealing with chaotic situations. ”

Zhao Gou is indeed worried that his father will take the appointment power of the Chengdu prefect, if his father opens his mouth, he really can't refuse, Li Yanqing recommended Xu Qinghui, obviously Xu Qinghui is more reliable, but Fan Zhixu is reasonable, using Xu Qinghui as the prefect is a sick promotion, and his father will use this excuse to pressure himself, Wei Jin is also Li Yanqing's person, it is more appropriate to let him serve as the prefect of Chengdu, and his father has nothing to say.

Zhao Gou pondered for a while, and then accepted Fan Zhixu's suggestion, "Just appoint Wei Shaoyin as the prefect of Chengdu, effective immediately, and rush to Chengdu early tomorrow morning to take office, Xu Qinghui will continue to serve as the general judge of Chengdu, but he has made meritorious contributions in assisting in solving Zeng Xiulin's case, and he can be advanced to the next level." ”

"Wechen obeys, Your Majesty, and about the stolen silver......"

Without waiting for Lu Yihao to finish speaking, Zhao Gou waved his hand to interrupt him, "Regarding the disposal of Zeng Xiulin's stolen silver, we will discuss it after Li Jingluo's report arrives." ”

Fan Zhixu and Lu Yihao touched a soft nail and had to retreat, Zhao Gou paced back and forth in the imperial study alone, his heart was really uneasy, he knew that his father would definitely ask him for the position of prefect, how should he refuse?

However, what Zhao Gou didn't expect was that his father didn't look for him, there was no news, just like nothing happened, Zhao Gou also thought, is it because his father lives by the West Lake and doesn't know the situation here?

But he immediately denied his stupid idea, how could it be, his father wanted to return to the throne at any time, how could he not know about the situation here?

Someone will send a message to the emperor as quickly as possible, who will this person be?

........

In the afternoon, an ox cart slowly stopped at the foot of the royal courtyard at the foot of the sunset mountain, and immediately a guard greeted him, this is the place where the emperor rests, and the idle people within a radius of five miles are not allowed to enter, of course, this ox cart can drive to the front of the courtyard, this must have been approved by the periphery, so the guards did not reprimand, but stepped forward and waited quietly, the car door opened, and Qin Hui came out of the carriage.

"It turned out to be Qin Shangshu, who came to see the Emperor?"

Qin Hui nodded, it was not the first time he had come here, he also believed that many ministers had also come, he didn't want to be loyal to the official family, but the official family had been on the throne for too short a time, and he had not yet had time to establish his own team, and almost all the ministers in the court were the former ministers of the emperor, and more importantly.... The throne of the official family is not stable.

Qin Hui knew that the official family's ascension to the throne was indeed unjustifiable, for an emperor, this was a fatal weakness, to some extent, the emperor could indeed abolish him at any time, the reason why the emperor did not do it, but he was still waiting for the opportunity, and he still needed to get enough people to be loyal.

Qin Hui had to think about his future, although he felt a little sorry for the official family in his heart, he still came without hesitation, it was better to come early than late.

At this time, Qin Hui glanced at a passenger ship parked on the dock and asked, "Whose ship is that?" ”

"That's Huang Shangshu's ship?"

Qin Hui was stunned, did Huang Qianshan come too?

"Huang Shangshu is meeting the Emperor Taishang?" Qin Hui asked.

The guard nodded, "He came half an hour ago, no, he came out." ”

As soon as Qin Hui turned around, he saw Huang Qianshan walking out of the courtyard, with an irrepressible look of pride on his face.

It turns out that Huang Qianshan also took refuge in the emperor! Qin Hui thought secretly.

At this time, Huang Qianshan also saw Qin Hui, and both of them showed a trace of embarrassment on their faces, and Huang Qianshan hurriedly smiled: "Hehe! It turned out that Qin Shangshu also came to visit Emperor Taishang's illness. ”

"Yes! I heard that the emperor was sick, of course we, the courtiers, should be concerned. ”

"That's right, we should care about the Emperor, Qin Shangshu, I still have some things, so I'll leave first."

Huang Qianshan nodded and left in a hurry, Qin Hui looked at his figure and got on the boat, then he tidied up his clothes and followed the guards to the courtyard........

In the past few days, the Emperor Zhao Ji has released rumors, saying that he is sick and sick, and as a result, there is an endless stream of ministers who come to visit him, and it is not yet noon, and there are already six ministers who have come.

Of course, the first one to come was Zhao Gou, the Son of Heaven, at that time, Zhao Ji was lying on the sickbed, his face was pale, his speech was panting, he was old, and he was really sick.

And now Zhao Ji is a look, he is wearing a Zen robe, wearing a black gauze hat, his face is ruddy, and he is appreciating with great interest a few famous calligraphy and paintings sent by Huang Qianshan, he used to like these calligraphy and paintings very much, but now he prefers this feeling of having ministers respect his calligraphy and paintings, indicating that he has not been forgotten, his imperial power is still alive in the hearts of many ministers, and when necessary, he will call for imperial power and let them break out of the cocoon in everyone's hearts.

He now preferred powerful ministers to calligraphers and painters.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, Qin Shangshu is here to see you!" A eunuch whispered at the door.

"Xuan him.... No! Invite him in. ”

Zhao Ji needed to encircle all those who would help him to restore the throne, even the eunuchs and guards.

After a moment, Qin Hui walked into the study quickly, bowed and saluted, "Weichen see His Majesty the Emperor!" ”

Zhao Ji smiled and said, "You're welcome, Qin Shangshu, please take a seat." ”

"Your Majesty Emperor Xie!"

A palace maid brought an embroidered pier, Qin Hui sat down, and asked with concern: "I heard that His Majesty the Emperor Taishang is sick, Weichen is very concerned, I don't know if his condition is getting better now?" ”

"With the care of you ministers who are loyal to the king and love the people, my condition has improved a lot, and I don't have to lie on the sickbed anymore, only a little nasal congestion, and nothing else."

"His Majesty the Emperor Taishang's condition has improved, which is the luck of the court and the people, and I hope that His Majesty the Emperor Taishang will take care of the dragon's body."

Zhao Ji nodded, and asked again, "What has Qin Shangshu been busy with lately?" ”

"There are no big things, it's all cumbersome and small things."

"The Ministry of Rites is very important, and Qin Shangshu is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, which also shows that there is a talent for Xiangguo, if I remember correctly, it was I who ordered Qin Shangshu to be the champion!"

"It is the fifth year of Zhenghe, and the meaning of His Majesty's promotion has always been remembered by Weichen."

Zhao Ji laughed, "Back then, I could see that you were definitely not a thing in the pool, so I named you the champion, and now it's only been ten years, and you have been promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, I didn't see the wrong person back then!" ”

"Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and no one can match it!"

Qin Hui was imprisoned in Yanshan Palace with Zhao Ji, and he had seen Zhao Ji catch ants in the yard, on the other hand, they were also friends in distress.

However, Zhao Ji didn't seem to want to mention that past, he looked at Qin Hui, and said lightly: "Assist the official family well, serve the Great Song Dynasty, and you will have a greater future." ”

"Your Majesty Xie cares, Weichen must have done his best to the Great Song Dynasty, and he will die."

Qin Hui hesitated and said, "The official family is going to let Weichen inspect the Northwest Third Road, does His Majesty the Emperor have any explanation?" ”

Zhao Ji perked up and hurriedly said, "When will you leave?" ”

"I will leave early the day after tomorrow and pass through Chengdu Mansion."

"I don't care about Chengdu Mansion anymore, I care more about Jingzhao Mansion, you go to Jingzhao Mansion to do something for me."

"Your Majesty, please!"

Zhao Ji lowered his voice and said, "The more evidence you collect for me that Li Yanqing supports the army and stands on his own, the better." ”
