"Qin Xiang, the river sand in the south of the Yangtze River is silted, and the river water is gradually rising, and the local officials said that they will allocate three million taels to clean up the river and strengthen the river embankment, so as to prevent the river from surging and collapsing the river embankment in the coming year, endangering the local people and crops!"

Qin Hui said in a deep voice: "Jiangnan has been a rich land since ancient times, and it is also the place with the most granaries in our dynasty, and the people are also the most. If there is a disaster in the south of the Yangtze River, I am afraid that the impact will be great, so you will allocate 300 taels from the treasury to the local government for the treatment of the river embankment and other things. In addition, another person should be appointed to supervise and supervise the incident, so as to avoid the occurrence of corruption of river funds, and to severely punish those who are found to be not lending. ”

"Qin Xiang, how should these people be placed?" Pan Lianggui bowed.

Qin Hui picked up the list submitted by Pan Lianggui, which were all officials with outstanding political achievements, including Zhang Dajing, Li Guang, Yuwenxu and others, when he opened Zhang Dajing's deeds, it was clearly recorded that when he served as a magistrate in Longquan Mansion, he was quite popular with the people, and later transferred to Yizhenzhi County, Jiangsu.

At that time, the two Huai Supervisors and Shuai Shou mostly relied on working for the people to rejuvenate the people, wanting to get more political achievements, but Zhang Dajing did the opposite, observed the people's feelings, and cared for the people. Moreover, Zhang Dajing secretly played this matter to Zhao Gou, and all those officials were submissive.

"These people are all colleagues who entered the court with me!" Qin Hui pondered, "Pan Shangshu, let's see if there are any vacancies, and arrange them all according to their respective circumstances!" ”

Pan Lianggui nodded, three years have passed now, Zhao Gou transferred all those who recommended themselves out of the capital and sent local governments and counties as officials, after three years, some people are available, and some people are officials with the idea of being promoted to make a fortune.

Those officials who once asked for the people's lives also became greedy in just a few years, and Zhao Gou killed them all without hesitation. The following year, the imperial examination began, and after that, Zhao Gou abolished the road of Mao Sui's self-recommendation, which was really not good.

At that time, several groups of people came, and the officials who really asked for the people's lives were the most in the first batch, and the others were very few who still maintained their original intentions. Pan Lianggui is the secretary of the ministry, and the performance assessment is in his hands, and he has already thought about where to arrange these people.

When Pan Lianggui handed over the prepared list to Qin Hui again, Qin Hui looked at it and didn't say anything, but he suppressed Li Guang's promotion, and Qin Hui appointed him as Dr. Taichang and promoted him to Sifeng, which is just a false name and has no real power at all; Except for Li Guang, everyone else was promoted, and they were transferred out of the place and came to the capital.

Pan Lianggui was very surprised by this, you must know that Li Guang has a very good personal relationship with him, and he also knows that Li Guang is a person, his temperament is the same as Pan Lianggui, upright, not succumbing to the powerful, and can do anything for the sake of the people.

Qin Hui didn't explain the reason, and Pan Lianggui didn't ask, so he did as he was told. However, Pan Lianggui wrote down the matter and secretly played it to Zhao Gou.

"Li Guang?" Zhao Gou received the news and said, "Second brother, is there a contradiction between this Li Guang and him?" ”

Zhao Yougong saw that someone was participating in Qin Hui, and he was not charged, but he told Zhao Gou about his affairs 1510, which made him very surprised. If other people are okay to say, but this person is Pan Lianggui, this is really a little strange.

Li Guang was a Jinshi in Chongning for five years, and at that time, the Emperor Taishang saw that he had some ability and was transferred to the Kaihua County Order, and there was a political voice during his tenure, and he was later transferred to the capital hall to inspect. It's just that Li Guang doesn't know how to be flexible, and he offends the powerful people by saying anything, that is, Cai Jing, so he appointed him as a supervisor and changed his knowledge to Changshu County, Pingjiang Prefecture. ”

Zhao Yougong is in charge of the Privy Council, and he is the executor of the villa, he is very clear about the deeds of the hundred officials, and then said: "When he was in Pingjiang Mansion, he ignored the 3721 and offended the powerful again. ”

Zhao Gou said with a smile: "It turns out that he has never been reused, no wonder he would recommend himself to come." ”

"Master Pan is notoriously selfless and upright, but this Li Guang is even more stubborn than Master Pan." Zhao Yougong also smiled and said: "It is precisely because of the oppression of the powerful and the fact that he is not valued by the imperial court, and he is disheartened, but he met Liu Anshi, and when he got his advice, he knew how to be flexible, but when he encountered injustices, he was still desperate for the people." ”

"At that time, there was a flood in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Emperor Taishang saw that he had some talents, and he didn't want him to be buried, so he sent him to a place, and he has never been reused, which can also be said to be the person left by the Emperor Taishang to you. As for the matter between him and Qin Hui, they were colleagues when they were officials before, but Qin Hui is very exquisite, but he is stubborn and cannot be appreciated, and the grievances between the two have arisen. ”

"Since this is the case, then for the time being, I can only follow Qin Hui's wishes, I can only temporarily wronged him, and when the matter is resolved, I will reuse this person." Zhao Gou smiled, "Second brother, you go to a place with me!" ”

Zhao Yougong saw that Zhao Gou had been going south, not north, but came to a secluded place, which surprised him. Until Zhao Gou explained to him that this private visit to Weifu was to let Qin Hui do it on the one hand, and for personal matters on the other hand.

"Where is this?" Zhao Yougong looked at the mountains all around, heavy mountains and mountains, or cliffs, and there were bursts of drumming in the valley.

"Bright Top!" Zhao Gou didn't hide anything, looking at the scene in front of him, he was very excited, and he didn't know if she had been doing well for more than three years, "The holy land of Manichaeism!" ”

"You have a relationship with Manichaeism?" Not only Zhao Yougong was surprised, but even Gao Zhong and others were puzzled.

Zhao Gou smiled and said nothing, and kept walking forward, he had never told anyone about this matter, not even his mother Wei, let alone Zhao Yougong knew about it. Then, they continued to walk upwards and came to Yunxin Temple, where everyone respectfully worshiped the Buddha, and then the presiding officer of Yunxin Temple came.

"Amitabha!" The host recited the Buddha's name, looked at Zhao Gou and the others amiably, and said: "The donor has come all the way to worship the Buddha, which is rare and valuable!" Rare! ”

Zhao Yougong was surprised: "How does the master know that we are outsiders?" ”

"If it's a local, the old man knows a thing or two." The host smiled kindly, his gaze stayed on Zhao Gou, even if Zhao Yougong asked, he only looked away slightly.

"Right Protector, please tell your sect leader, just say that the old man is here!" Zhao Gou said straight to the point, and the host looked at him with some vigilance, his identity has always been very secretive, and not many people know about it, but he doesn't want this strange man in front of him to know, which makes him have to guard against it, and he doesn't know whether he is friend or foe.

"What does the donor say? The poor monk really doesn't understand! ”

"Wise people don't speak dark words!" Zhao said, "I also know a little about Manichaeism, so if you go and tell her, you will say that I am here, and I will come according to the agreement." ”

"It's you!"

The host looked at Zhao Gou angrily, he felt that Zhao Gou was a little familiar, because he looked like he had grown up in Huaiying, but he didn't know his identity. It wasn't until Zhao Gou Daoming that the host knew that his guess was not wrong, and the person in front of him was indeed Huaiying's biological father.

"I'll kill you!"

Everyone was taken aback, after the host guessed Zhao Gou's identity, he immediately attacked, but was blocked by Zhao Yougong, he followed up with another attack, and was blocked by Zhao Yougong, and Gao Zhong and others also protected Zhao Gou, always guarding against others attacking.

Zhao Yougong took the host's attack and roared angrily: "You bald donkey, you have a sick brain, you are really tired and crooked!" ”

"Get out of here!"

The host was also furious, his target has always been Zhao Gou, if he hadn't occupied Fang Jinzhi's body, taken away her innocence, and had children out of wedlock, how could there be civil strife in Manichaeism, all these years Fang Jinzhi has been carried down by himself, and it is not easy to clear the internal troubles, but Fang Jinzhi is also tired, which makes the strength of Manichaeism even worse than before.

"Second brother, get out of the way!"

Zhao Gou pushed everyone away, and let Zhao Yougong retreat, facing the host's attack alone, but their martial arts were too different, Zhao Gou didn't attack, just kept dodging, still making the host tired and panting, and finally stubbornly carried the host's angry fist, safe and sound.

"Ninth brother!"

"Young Master!"

Zhao Yougong, Gao Zhong and others rushed over in a hurry, but Zhao Gou waved his hand to stop them, he looked at the host again, and said, "Now you can help me tell me!" If you don't want to, I don't want to force it, but at that time, I'm afraid I'm going to hurt my vitality again! ”

"Are you threatening me?"

"How about threatening you?"

Zhao Gou smiled disappreciatively, but the host didn't have any temper, even if it was Zhao Gou's threat, he had to admit that it was really possible to destroy most of the forces with his strength, and finally the host was forced to contact the sect leader and send the message back to the main altar.

An hour later, a message came that the sect leader was coming in person, and Zhao Gou smiled.

"Ninth brother, why do you want to see their sect leader?"

"You'll know when the time comes!"

After a few hours, Fang Jinzhi, who had not seen him for three years, took Huaiying to Yunxin Temple. At this time, she was more mature, her face was a lot haggard, even her body was much thinner, and she looked more capable, when she saw Zhao Gou appear in front of her, her eyes were very complicated, there were grievances, thoughts, and excitement.

"Huaiying, that person is your father!"

Zhao Huaiying tilted his head, tilted his head and looked at Zhao Gou curiously, then looked at his mother, and then looked at Zhao Gou, seeing him smiling at himself, and walking towards him again, he shouted timidly: "Dad!" ”

Zhao Gou saw his son calling himself, he happily agreed, and held Zhao Huaiying in his arms, he hadn't seen him for three years, Zhao Huaiying had grown up a lot, but his appearance was three points similar to Zhao Gou, but he was still a little immature.

"I've suffered you all these years!"

"You've been at ease all these years!"

Even though Zhao Gou's words contain a lot of things, Fang Jinzhi also understands that she has not seen herself and her son for three years, and this resentment makes her a little unhappy, but seeing Zhao Huaiying in Zhao Gou's arms, even if she is really a little wronged, she can't act wantonly in front of her son and the host.

"Son?" Zhao Yougong, Gao Chong and the others looked at each other, and they looked at Zhao Huaiying in Zhao Gou's arms, which was indeed a little similar, but they still couldn't believe it, they looked bigger than the two princesses in the palace, and they didn't even know about it.

"Ninth brother, is this your son?" Zhao Yougong still didn't believe it, and asked directly.

"Yes, he is my son Huaiying!" Zhao Gou said with a smile, and teased Zhao Huaiying again, "Huaiying, call the second uncle!" Then you can call Uncle Gao! ”

"Second uncle! Uncle Gao! ”

Zhao Yougong and Gao Pet were both stupid, and seeing such a well-behaved child was still Zhao Gou's son, which made the two of them stiffen the moment they heard it, but they still reacted quickly and agreed one after another, and then Zhao Yougong and Gao Pet didn't know what to do.

Because Zhao Gou put Zhao Huaiying down and came directly to them, he looked at Zhao Yougong and Gao Zhong curiously, which made the two of them at a loss, and they didn't know what to do, but Zhao Huaiying spoke first, "Uncle, hug!" ”

Zhao Yougong's stiff body stretched out his hand to hug Zhao Huaiying, but he was very worried that he would hurt the child with too much strength, but Zhao Gou said that it didn't matter, how could his son's body be bad. Then, Zhao Huaiying ran from Zhao Yougong's arms to Gao Chong's arms, and the two of them were very happy from their original stupidity.

"I'll make it up to you in the evening!" Zhao Gou ignored the presence of everyone and the fact that this was a temple, so he directly hugged Fang Jinzhi and whispered in her ear.

Suddenly, Fang Jinzhi's face turned crimson, and all the grievances disappeared at once. Seeing such a scene, the abbot of Yunxin Temple widened his eyes and huffed, and finally closed his eyes and simply stopped looking, he really couldn't accept it in his heart.

At the same time, thousands of miles away in the capital Qin Mansion, the Jin people disguised merchants came here as guests.

Qin Hui first ascended the phase, they prepared a generous congratulations, but Qin Hui refused, but they did not give up, and from time to time appeared in Qin Hui's mansion, directly visited, every time they came there were generous gifts, either calligraphy and painting, or antiques, or gold and silver jewelry.

Qin Hui refused at first, and later accepted from one or two pieces to all. Because of the calligraphy, paintings, antiques and other things given by the Jin people, when other colleagues came to visit, they all appreciated his gaze, which made Qin Hui lose face, so he accepted it as a matter of course.

"I don't know what Qin Xiang thinks?" Jin Renzuo brought up the old matter again, they have been in the capital for a month, and the longer they have been in contact with Qin Hui, the more they know that he is very greedy, as long as it is something that can be solved by money and power, then everything has room to turn around.

Qin Hui said embarrassedly: "I have also thought about this matter for a long time, but it is difficult!" ”

"With today's Xiangye's status in the court, not to mention the power of the government and the opposition, he is also deeply trusted by the emperor." Seeing that there was a turnaround, Jin Ren hurriedly said: "Besides, it's not a big deal, as long as Xiangye helps me get rid of Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others, then he is the benefactor of my Dajin Dynasty, and His Majesty the Emperor of my dynasty will definitely be rewarded, and he will never treat Xiangye for help." ”

"Do you know that Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others are the emperor's descendants, and they followed him to fight in the south and north when the emperor was still the king of Yan, if you get rid of them, it will be really not easy." What Qin Hui meant in his words was that there was no chance to start, if there was an opportunity, then it would be fine.

The man smiled: "You can rest assured that Xiangye will have arrangements for these, as long as Xiangye 'deals with it impartially' at that time." ”

"In this case, the picture can only be 'dealt with impartially'!" Qin Hui and the man looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.

"Xiangye's name!" The man smiled complimentarily.

Qin Hui did not say that he agreed to cooperate with the Jin people, but he had already hinted that he would agree. If he is the prime minister of the dynasty to frame a general, it doesn't make sense, it will attract Zhao Gou's suspicion, and even he will be implicated, if Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others commit something themselves, then he will deal with it impartially, then everything will make sense.

So, Qin Hui also officially agreed to cooperate with Jinren, but the temptation of fame and fortune was too great, he tasted the taste of the prime minister, and he was already not satisfied, and gradually gave birth to greater desires. It's a pity that Qin Hui did this, that is, he dug a grave for himself and couldn't turn back.
