6��C�|6���ZVgm4���g"]��@�ʣ��&�ƛ���ۥ�Q3�2; ٱK6 The person who came to the Hua family to mourn was not Hua Zhengfang's old friend or old friend of the same year, but Qin Yuanqing, the imperial historian who was in charge of the order in this area.

Although they are both officials, Qin Yuanqing and Hua Zhengfang actually have no friendship. In Fan Jin's previous life, there were always people who blindly regarded all civil officials as a group, which obviously lacked the minimum logic and IQ performance. Just as martial artists are not inherently close to each other because of the same profession, the same is true for civil officials. Everyone is just a profession, it does not mean that they will be close to each other, due to the influence of a number of factors such as teachers, origins, ideas, and people, civil officials will also be divided into several factions, and there is no difference from the martial arts.

Hua Zhengfang has always been rigid and rigid, and he is relatively boring, he is a loner in the court, even if he gets along poorly with those who are the same year as himself, except for Hou Shouyong, he has no friends. It is precisely because of this that he is so miserable. Qin Yuanqing is more than 20 years younger than him, and the two have no contact, in fact, they have no friendship at all. The reason why Qin Yuanqing rushed over was not to mourn, but for Hua Zhengfang's death, hoping to dig out more things from his death.

As a young official, Qin Yuanqing has a very shallow foundation in the officialdom, and he has not been well promoted. If you choose the wrong target, you probably have to be promoted in this position for the rest of your life.

Qin Yuanqing is very smart and cautious enough, he has never gone to visit people casually, nor has he relaxed the maintenance of law and order, but he is not lost. Because he is very low-key, most people don't care much about having such a small shrimp in the court, only he knows what he wants.

He's going to get ahead! He's going to soar into the sky! To achieve these goals, what he needs is an opportunity! Hua Zhengfang's death is undoubtedly his opportunity.

Qin Yuanqing did not go to the yamen in the early morning, but first found a small official of the General Administration Department, that person was his fellow villager, the two had a good relationship, and Qin Yuanqing could learn about the latest progress of the court from the mouth of the little official, so as to place bets at the right time. He can see that Zhang Juzheng's love affair is at a crossroads, if nothing changes, with Zou Yuanbiao and Wu Weizhong going to prison, then Zhang Juzheng will be determined to win love next.

At this time, there is no point in supporting the seizure of affection in the last concert, and the Gangneung Party will not remember much about itself. If you continue to support Ding Wei, you won't be able to make any waves, unless you have to take the same risk as Zou Yuanbiao to write some radical texts in order to invite fame, but the price is also considerable.

No matter which path it is, it is not what Qin Yuanqing wants, but he is unwilling to let go of the opportunity like this. In this contradictory mood, he returned all the way to the yamen, and immediately learned of Hua Zhengfang's death from his subordinates.

That person said it as a joke, Hua Zhengfang is not very likable, and often impeached the Soldiers and Horses for being lazy in the court based on his personal experience and the public security situation, including Zhou Shichen's case, and the Soldiers and Horses Division was also very surprised. A third of the clerks below were arrested, and Qin Yuanqing himself was punished. For his death, those people in the yamen had a gloating attitude and were unwilling to investigate it in detail. Whether it is suicide or homicide, death is death, and it happens to be clean, so even the corpse list and the like are opened very smoothly.

When Qin Yuanqing heard the news, he immediately felt that something was wrong, a speech official chose to act on his own in Yang Jisheng's temple, it would not be done casually, it must have a deep meaning. It's a corpse! This is a movement that the dynasty has not had for many years, if you dedicate that piece by yourself, Hua Zhengfang celebrities will be in history, and you can also follow the light.

Especially if a dead person can only enjoy fame, and his real benefits don't all fall on him? These idiots around you! No one recognized the huge opportunity hidden here, so they let the body take away, and if they were there, why should they search it first.

His own future, future development, is all on this old man!

He didn't even bother to sit in a sedan chair, but casually pulled a donkey from the people near the yamen and hurried all the way to Dazhiqiao. He knows the situation of the Hua family, a woman who has never seen the world, plus a child, it is not difficult to deal with. The Hua family has always been poor, as long as he takes over the handling of his funeral in the name of the yamen, the woman is still at her mercy?

When he came to the outside of the Hua family's courtyard, Qin Yuanqing was a little stunned. Inside and outside the door, many men were busy coming in and out. The people in the shed were building the funeral shed, some were placing paper figures, and a few chefs who looked like they were running the greenhouse, and they were busy building stoves.

This is...... Want to do a big funeral rhythm? Where did she get the money, and where did she get the people? Could it be Hou Shouyong?

Qin Yuanqing's heart couldn't help but rise, Hou Shouyong is also a person in the Dao, if he undertakes this funeral, it will be difficult for him to do anything. Hou Shouyong is now joining the Jiangling Party, if Hua Lao has something in his hands, he can't help it.

Thinking about the person walking in, I saw Sha Shi and Jiyin kneeling there full of Su Su ready to accompany the spirit, and the inside and outside of Zhiying was a young and handsome man, but it was not Hou Shouyong. When Qin Yuanqing was suspicious, the man had already walked over and saluted him, "Honorable driver?" ”

"This official is here to patrol the imperial history of the city, I heard that Hua Lao suffered misfortune, and he came here to visit and worship, who are you?"

"It's good to say, Xiaosheng Fan Jin is a second-class teacher in today's department, and now he is watching politics in the military department. Since the predecessors of Qin are here to worship, please come here to offer incense. ”

Fan Jin!

Qin Yuanqing is very familiar with this name, this time the five cities of the soldiers and horses were tossed to five labors and seven injuries, is it not this Guangdong Jinshi? He has heard a lot about him, whether it is positive or negative, and knows that this person is a capable person who can enter and leave Zhang Juzheng's mansion at will, and he came out to handle Hua Zhengfang's funeral? Qin Yuanqing, out of the instinct of the official, realized that there was something wrong with it.

He first put on incense, pretended to express his condolences, and then looked at the remains. Then he asked seemingly unintentionally: "Hua Lao just left?" Have you left any words? If there is any unfulfilled wish, everyone can do it for him. ”

"I didn't ...... It's nothing. Sha Shi shook his head and said, and after a while, he remembered something, "The master seems to have a piece of music on him, and he is in the back room, I don't know if there is anything on it." The master has said that we are not allowed to watch him play, so the two of us dare not move. ”

Sure enough, there is a concerto?

Qin Yuanqing looked at Fan Jin, his heart was beating much faster than Fang Cai. Sure enough, he left a recital, and his family knew about it. No matter how strong Fan Jin's ability is, he doesn't dare to destroy this concerto, and if there is something, it will be tantamount to not recruiting himself. My purpose is to play the chapter instead of mourning anyway, and whoever does the funeral is good, the key is to get the music in hand.

He nodded and said to Fan Jin: "This official wants to take a look at that movement, I don't know if it's convenient or not?" ”

"That's the old flower's testament, Xiaosheng originally wanted to hand it over to the General Affairs Department, but there is really no time here, you have also seen it, how can I go away from the Hua family? After a while, I have to go to Kiba to choose a longevity board for Hua Lao, but I really don't have time to run. If Qin Zhongcheng is willing to take the last seal on his behalf, it will save Fan's effort. ”

"There's nothing to say, as it should be."

Qin Yuanqing didn't want Fan Jin to be so easy to talk to, he was ecstatic in his heart, and secretly despised that the other party was really a chick, he might be smarter and bolder, but he knew too little about officialdom. What is the use of a dead give? No matter how good he is, there are only a few praises in Shilin, but he can't get the benefits.

Seeing that Hou Shouyong was not there, he knew that he had picked a leak, and if this officialdom veteran was in trouble with this testament. Hurriedly came to the room, and saw a painting hanging on the wall, the ink had not yet dried, and the person in the painting was Hua Zhengfang's appearance in his later years, and the painting was lifelike and straight like a real person. On the table in the middle of the room, there was a piece of music, well sealed.

Qin Yuanqing's heart fluctuated, and his heart was beating wildly. The eyes of the old man in the painting seemed to be fixed on the book, for fear that someone would take it away. Qin Yuanqing secretly scolded the painter for his lack of morality, what is a dead ghost painting so similar, and he always feels a little scary when he takes his things in front of such a portrait. He arched his hand towards the portrait, stretched out his hand to pick up the piece and put it into his sleeve, came out with only two perfunctory sentences, and left immediately, and did not go back to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, but ran to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

His backer is Liu Zheng, the left of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Procuratorate. He is also a person in the clear stream, and he has always been very dissatisfied with Zhang Juzheng's love, and belongs to the firm Ding Wei faction. With Zhang Han being dismissed, the momentum of the Ding Wei faction has weakened, and Liu Zheng is a little lonely, and his mood is quite depressed. When Qin Yuanqing explained his intention and took out the recital, the joy and excitement in Liu Zheng's heart were not inferior to Qin Yuanqing.

The two closed the door, burned the candle and sealed it, and began the recital with an expectant and somewhat nervous mood. They didn't actually say what they wanted to see in the piece, but they had an instinctive hunch that there must be something to be said about it. Most of the testaments left by the officials who committed suicide were impeached, and the targets worthy of such impeachment were only two or three in the country. Except that the emperor is the first assistant, and then it is Feng Bao. That is, at least one-third of the hopes that their wishes will come true.

With this strong sense of anticipation, the two looked intently regardless of the official's appearance, and their heads almost collided together. Although the words on the piece are a little sloppy in some places, they are generally visible. When he saw more than half of it, Liu Zheng's face darkened, and he looked sideways at Qin Yuanqing and said, "This piece of music...... Did you take it at the Hua family with your own hands? ”

Qin Yuanqing's face was also a little ugly, and he nodded: "That's right, it was taken by the humble position himself, Fan Jin was still entertaining outside, and no one came." ”

"You've been fooled! This piece is definitely not true! ”

Liu Zheng pointed to the song and said: "I know Hua Zhengfang's personality best, that is a famous old stubborn man, and he has never said anything good in his life." His testament must be to impeach someone and list the evidence of the crime, and he will never be so kind, let alone write this! There's fraud in this! ”

In this testament, Hua Zhengfang was first old and sick, unbearable and tortured, and now he has been neglecting his official affairs for a long time, and he is also sick and heavy, and life is better than death, and he is tired of life in the world, so he committed suicide to seek relief. The text in the back is to persuade the Son of Heaven, hoping that the Son of Heaven will reuse the virtuous ministers to alienate the villain, so as to make the Ming Dynasty strong and stable. Immediately after that, the conversation changed and began to impeach Mu Chaobi, the Duke of Qianguo, for rebelling against human ethics and should be severely punished.

He also impeached the officials of the DPRK for being lazy in their official duties, so that the matter went on for a long time, and Zou Yuanbiao and others were alarmist and slandered the ministers, so that the government could not return to normal, and the cabinet was delayed for a long time. Finally, I asked the Son of Heaven to severely reprimand these courtiers who spoke indiscriminately and harmed the government, stopped the dispute over love and worries, and invited Zhang Xiang to preside over the overall situation as soon as possible, so as to prevent the national government from being mistaken in the political dispute and the ministers from escaping disposal.

This is a testament to support and criticize Zou Yuanbiao and others? The content of the chapter is completely contrary to the prior thoughts of the two, and once this testament is handed over, it will inevitably become a powerful weapon for the love faction, which is much more effective than the impeachment of Zhang Juzheng's quasi-son-in-law by the previous legend. When the emperor got this recital, he naturally had the confidence to call out his ministers. In order to win the love, a speech official did not hesitate to admonish the corpse, at this time you still stood up and shouted Ding Wei, where is your conscience? Where did the Ding Wei faction get the face to continue fighting?

But don't get this testament? Apparently not. Qin Yuanqing took away the testament seal, the widow of the Hua family and Fan Jin saw it, if this testament disappeared mysteriously, then all the unfavorable accusations would have to be borne by Qin Yuanqing, how could he be able to carry this kind of thunder?

At this time, he could only echo Liu Zheng and said: "That's right! This seal must have been forged, we ...... We participated in Fan Jin's forgery of testament seals and blocked the way of speech. As long as you take out the music that Hua Zhengfang has played before, you can know the authenticity. ”

"So what are you waiting for? Go find it, no matter what Hua Zhengfang has written, as long as you find it! ”

After noon, Qin Yuanqing rushed in from outside, holding two copies of the music in his hand. This is the chapter of Hua Zhengfang's past that his friend of the General Administration Department found for him, although theoretically all this chapter should be in the palace, but the current government is like this, the management is not so strict, and there are always some chapters left in the hands of the General Administration.

Although Liu Zheng is not a master of calligraphy, he can do the four grades of civil officials, and his calligraphy skills are not bad, even if he can't take notes to identify, but whether it comes from a person's handwriting can always be seen. He hurriedly took out Hua Zhengfang's testament and carefully compared it with his previous concert, and after reading each other several times, he pushed the testament to Qin Yuanqing in a dejected manner.

"Hurry up and hand over this stamp, if you delay too long, if someone catches you, you will be in trouble. Also, the old man didn't know about it, from beginning to end, he didn't know anything. Don't say you've seen this with me, you can do the rest yourself. Let's do it for ourselves from now on. ”

Qin Yuanqing sat on the chair with an earthy face, his heart cold. He knew that Liu Zheng was abandoning himself with this attitude. Whether it's the future or the future, I can't talk about it for myself. It is not easy to keep this official body. He muttered to himself, "Why is this happening? What went wrong? It shouldn't be. ”

Hua Zhengfang's appearance appeared in his mind again, and the stereotypical face and serious eyes of the old man in the painting were like two sharp swords piercing Qin Yuanqing's heart.

It must have been the painter who made the ghost! He almost shouted this sentence, but he also knew that it no longer made sense to think about it now.

One wrong step and you lose the whole game.
