Chapter Twenty-Four: Messy Peach Blossoms (1)

Zheng Gongchu said to Li Sheng: "Come on, bring Wu Quanzi up." ”

Wu Quanzi brought it over, Li Sheng pointed to the ball of incense powder on the ground, and said, "Do you know what this thing is?" ”

Everyone's IQ is different, coupled with knowledge, seeing this sleepy incense powder, Li Sheng and Liu Renliang, and even Zheng Lianshu and Wei Hongji all smiled, but Wu Quanzi didn't react, dipped a little on his hand, looked at it, faintly uneasy, and thought about it: "It's about the fat powder produced by Huaizhou Marriage Fangzhai." ”[

Not sure, but his wife and concubine were seen to have used similar fat powder.

"Are you sure these two committed suicide?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the subjects listened to the servants' reports in the morning, and they were in the manor, and they were so dead, they would not have been killed."

After finishing speaking, he was also afraid that the emperor would see the flaw, so he looked at the officials in Huaizhou with his eyes. However, several important officials closed their eyes. There are a few officials who are good friends with him, but they are just like him, inexplicable. begged for mercy and looked at Zhang Junxian.

Zhang Junxian didn't seem to see it.

Li Sheng continued: "When I had dinner, I said that you are a talent, and sure enough, you are a talent, as an ordinary steward, you can treat me and the two Zaibai as if they were nothing, so that hundreds of us have traveled dozens of miles at night to rush over, you can be said to be the first person in the world." ”

"The subjects don't dare." Wu Quanzi's legs were frightened, he was in charge, it was a big deal to be able to rely on the master's sheng feng and be powerful in Huaizhou, how dare he be called the first person in the world.

Ignoring him, Li Wei came to Zhang Junxian and said: "Some people say that Gyeonggi is the most difficult to govern, this is an exaggeration, as long as the emperor is clear, although there are many powerful and noble children in Gyeonggi, but under the feet of the Son of Heaven, not only the Son of Heaven, but also many ministers are staring at it. ”

This is true, when the light was martial, Princess Huyang's servants killed Luoyang and ordered Dong Xuan to forcibly enforce the law, and the strong order was passed down through the ages, if it wasn't for the feet of the Son of Heaven, how could Dong Xuan stand out? But the most important premise is that the emperor is wise, and if the emperor is dark, the officials of Gyeonggi will be the most difficult officials in the world.

Li Sheng continued: "Therefore, the most difficult to hold official positions are the officials of the prefectures and counties near Gyeonggi, especially in the plain states such as Huaizhou, where many people with the surnames of many people have the surname Huaizhou, and Huaizhou alone is the feudal field of the sixteen surnames such as Sima, Chang, Xiang, He, etc., and many of them have the power to honor the children of meritorious service. If these people obey the laws of the land, you will not be embarrassed. If they do not abide by the law and discipline, they will not be able to deal with the tyranny of the township. I can understand, but I'm here in person, so why do you want to have both ends? If it weren't for you......"

glanced at the sleepy fat powder, and said, "Tonight, I will order someone to immediately strip off your official uniform." ”

"Yes, yes" Zhang Junxian sweated again.

"I'll give you another chance, I'll hand over this case to you for review, and I'll definitely find out for me that not only this case, but also everything related to this case, write a file, and give it to me for personal review."

"Whoa."

Li Sheng is still not very relieved, he is here, this group of officials has left some back, if he is not there, he doesn't know how to perfunctory. It just so happened that the tour was also coming to an end, and it was not in Xingyang, it was a meeting with the Zheng family in Xingyang. So he issued another edict: "Li Qing, I will let you serve as the ambassador of Shannan Province and Huainan Province, and the governor of two provinces." Liu Qing, you work hard, I will let you serve as the ambassador of Jiangnan Province and the governor of Jiangnan Province. And Wei Qing, I asked you to serve as the governor of Hebei and Hedong, and I will patrol Hebei and Hedong for me. At the end of the year, he returned to Beijing. ”

"Whoa."

Wei Hongji gave Di Renjie a strong admonition, and now he is still clothed, so Li and Liu are ambassadors, and he is only the governor's envoy, which is different. But with this official position, it is also possible to supervise the case. It is impossible for Li Qi to stay in Huaizhou for ten days and eight days to solve the case for this case, and he is not good at solving the case.

Wei Hongji was given this position and stayed.

Li Qi left the manor with the others, it was dark, and he began to camp and rest.

Zheng Gongchu was puzzled, and asked her father: "yes, yes, why is it just a sleepy fat powder, why does Your Majesty conclude that he killed him, not suicide?" ”

"Chu'er, you don't understand. If you have the will to die, does the young woman who hanged herself have the heart to rub fat powder. I just want to die beautifully, why can't I see fat powder on her face? ”

"The child didn't dare look at her face."

"You shouldn't have followed"...", although Xin said that the emperor had been familiar with the book of rites since he was a child, but he did not follow the etiquette, such as his little sister and two wives and concubines followed, and he did not see the emperor angry. And he said, "The fat powder fell right under the right hand, which is something that should not be seen." ”

"Why?"

The reason is very simple, these two people are not committing suicide, before they died, this little concubine named Xiangyun was putting on makeup in the room, and then she was hanged alive with her father-in-law, because the matter came suddenly, and she was still holding a pink handkerchief in her hand, and she was hung on the beam of the house, making a disguise of suicide. The killer also saw her hand clenched, broke her hand, took away the pink handkerchief, and saw that the makeup on her face was not finished, and wiped the makeup off her face. But the murderer was inexperienced, and he committed the crime at night, so he did not pay attention to the fat powder on the pink handkerchief falling to the ground. This alone can be used as proof, and if you look down this line, you can find more answers from the corpse or from her hands. But the emperor is the emperor after all, not the work of investigating the case, so he did not continue to check, but handed it over to the Huaizhou officials. ”

"This group of officials is not a good person either."

"Child, no, although the history of Huaizhou Thorn was alarmed, but the wrestling behind it was the Duke of Zhou and His Majesty, and even the Queen Mother, and it was human nature for Huaizhou officials to be at both ends of the rat. In fact, it has been left behind, such as immediately communicating to His Majesty, and then the Huaizhou Thorn Shi stared at the sleepy fat powder with his eyes, which was to remind His Majesty. Otherwise, under the light of the candle, even if His Majesty is wise, he will not immediately see the faint fat powder. ”

"I see, they belong to the Bai Gang Emperor?"

"No, that Wu Quanzi's case has a lot of flaws and can't be hidden. So it is possible that after receiving the report of the resentment, this assassin immediately protected the scene. Give yourself a chance to exonerate, and only after His Majesty reprimands him will he do his best to solve the case, so that he can also treat the Queen Mother and Zhou Guo. It's not that the minister doesn't want to give Zhou Guogong face, it's that the emperor saw the flaw and forced the minister to solve the case. So that neither side will be offended. Therefore, His Majesty said those words to that assassin and let Wei Hongji stay. ”

"Does the emperor want to ...... to the emperor and the queen mother?"

"Don't talk nonsense about Chu'er, it's not the grace you think", after a day of accompaniment, Uncle Zheng Lian already knew what had happened: "Actually, what Your Majesty did all the way was very urgent, just to understand the people, and did not ask about any unjust cases and false cases. The court in the capital was divided into the imperial party and the queen party, and the forces of the two sides were about the same, even His Majesty did not want to cause disputes. ”

These words should not have been said, but maybe this daughter will enter the harem after talking, so I will enlighten me by the way today.

It was because of this situation that all the important members of the family gathered to discuss. At this time, it is easiest to make some agreements with the emperor, after all, at this time, whether it is the queen mother or the emperor, they all need support.

But on the side of the queen mother and the emperor, after repeated discussions in the family, it was still determined that the emperor would be the final victor. But this one, there is no need to say it to your daughter. He also said: "In this line, Your Majesty has only two purposes in the end, one is to get out of the general situation of the people, and if you don't understand the needs of the people, you can't govern the country clearly." The second purpose is to build water conservancy and cultivate more cultivated land, so that the people can have land to cultivate. The goal is not to annex and annex high loan sharks. But the samurai did it too hard this time.

"yes."

"But child, have you ever thought about how to annex a large amount of fertile land if you are not so ruthless, Huaizhou has many people and little land, and the land price is expensive. This is only one reason, but also the negotiation of interests. The book has been sent to the Eastern Capital, but will this book be approved? Even if all the fiefs and mansions of Zhou Guogong were sold, they would not be able to raise two million yuan to repay them. Either Zhou Guogong will fall to the throne, or the Queen Mother will make some concessions, which is His Majesty's goal. However, that Zhenbai, who couldn't see through the matter, not only had a murder, but also other things, such as slandering the king, bullying the king, and bullying the two Zaibai. It's a big deal......"

Thinking of this, he looked at the big tent not far away, and thought in his heart that the emperor was smiling from ear to ear at about this time.

It was estimated wrongly, Li Sheng did not laugh.

He discussed with Li Yiyan and Liu Renliang in the tent, and when he saw the two of them, he said, "Early tomorrow morning, you will set off." I went to Xingyang this time, it may be good, it may not be good, if Yan is not good, especially Li Qing, you are a child of the Li family in Longxi. When the time comes, it will be difficult to get around. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is a great courtier."

"Li Qing, the children of the five surnames and seven families all have your sincere heart, why should I worry?" What to do? Although Li Yiyan is not a descendant of the Li family in Longxi, he is indeed a descendant of the Li family in Longxi, and he is not an imposter of Li Jingxuan. As an important right-hand man in his hands, he must also be appeased.

Helped Li Yiyan up, and said: "Liu Qing, you are the best at military affairs, Li Qing, good at governance, but water conservancy is not what you are good at, so after living and patrolling, ask the counties and counties what are the talents who are good at water conservancy, and ask them, if they are real talents, recommend them to me and bring them to the court." Otherwise, once the construction starts, I will have no professional officials at my disposal. ”

"Whoa." The two replied in unison. Liu Renliang said again: "But Xingyang and his party, Your Majesty, you still need to be careful, it is best to talk satisfactorily." Even if it's not perfect, don't talk about division. If the Zheng family is interested in marrying, His Majesty might as well agree. Let the Zheng family have a hope. ”

The power of the five surnames and seven families should not be underestimated.

But the power of these seven families is huge, and they have become the swollen tumor of the Tang Dynasty, and His Majesty Xingyang and his party are not optimistic.

"I know, why I said that Liang Jinzhu has a lot of credit, several big families have a large population, and they want to live a little better, and the annexation will inevitably happen, but in other words, they just want to live a little better, and the sea has found another way for them. It's all like this, and my eyes are still staring at the poor people's pitiful cultivated land, Liu Qing, what do you say I should do? ”

I want to be a again, and I want to set up an archway, that's such a good thing.

In fact, the Zheng family in Xingyang and the Li family in Longxi both have a fleet and family resources, and they have made a lot of profits in recent years. From this point, they also thanked Li Sheng, which was also one of the reasons why the Zheng family in Xingyang showed favor this time.

"Yes, but after Your Majesty returns to Beijing, be careful."

As soon as Liu Renliang and Li Yiyan left, Pei Xingjian went to the Western Regions, while Di Renjie and Zhu Jing did not grow up. Wei Xuantong can't be regarded as Li Sheng's person, Wei Zhigu is also not counted, Wei Yuanzhong is still wandering in the south of the Yangtze River, and the power in the court is very unfavorable to Li Sheng.

"I know, but my father is still alive, and keeping a low profile is the king's way."

After discussing for a long time, the three of them separated.

The next day, Li Yiyan and Liu Renliang were sent away. Li Qi did not stop and set off directly towards the Yellow River. In the evening, the figure of the ancient city of Xingyang can be faintly seen. (To be continued.)
