Seeing that Qin Lei was silent, Qiao's father and son were dumbfounded, they imagined many situations, but they didn't think that this young master would not speak. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In their hearts, Qin Lei has always been a strong person to the top, if this kind of person is unhappy, he will definitely say it out loud, how can he be embarrassed by himself?

Men from big families like them have always regarded women as objects, and they can't talk about respect at all, so naturally they won't understand why Qin Lei wants to compromise and seek perfection.

They mistakenly thought that this was a precursor to his outburst, and glanced at each other uneasily, Qiao Yuanshan tentatively said: "However, we can be flexible, you can see ......"

"Please." Who is Qin Lei, he can see at a glance that the two of them are scared, he doesn't say anything, but pushes the boat down the river and says: "It's best to solve it properly." ”

'If you can't solve it properly, don't blame me for being rude......' this is the meaning of the two of them. Qiao Qipei's face was even more nervous, and he glared at his son fiercely, asking him not to sell it.

Qiao Yuanshan hurriedly poured beans into the bamboo tube and said: "It's better for us to get engaged first, but we don't make a noise, and after the prince obtains His Majesty's consent, we will make up the ceremony." "At this time, the procedure of marrying a daughter-in-law and marrying a girl is very cumbersome, and there are rules of 'six rites', that is, the so-called: Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Najib, Nazheng, inviting dates, and welcoming in person. In other words, if you want to marry a daughter-in-law, you need to go through six processes to first propose, then get married, give a dowry, choose a marriage date, and marry, and then have a reasonable and legal right to a cave house. Among them, 'Najib', 'Nazheng', and 'Request' are carried out together.

So Qiao Yuanshan didn't mean that the two of you can live and fly together. What he means is that we still have to go through the 'six rites', but we can disrupt the order, first get engaged, postpone other procedures, and wait for the opportunity to talk about it.

This is also in line with Qin Lei's intentions, he came to Qiao's house to tell those guys who love to chew the root of their tongue that the eldest lady of the Qiao family has a master. I didn't plan to marry someone else's girl home immediately.

The two sides took a step back, which can be regarded as an understanding, Qin Lei originally wanted to spend two days and take the opportunity to learn about the wintering situation of the people in Shannan. But a piece of information disrupted his plan, he couldn't stay any longer, and hurriedly said goodbye to the Qiao family father and son and went north. As for Yunshang, she may not have been home for the New Year for a long time, but now that she has a place, she naturally has to accompany her father and mother at home.

Bidding farewell to the reluctant Qiao Yunsheng, the team accelerated abruptly and rushed all the way to the north.

The closer you get to Zhongdu, the colder the temperature becomes, and the scenery on both sides of the road becomes more and more depressed. Looking at the reckless departure from the cold sky, Qin Lei couldn't help but sigh: "The winter in the north is the real winter!" ”

In order to maintain his demeanor, when everyone else was wearing fur fur, Le Buyi was still only wearing a long robe, his nose was red from the cold, and he muttered: "The prince will find that the atmosphere in the central capital is even colder than this ghost weather." ”

Tightly scarring the fox fur scarf, Qin Lei smiled and said, "Make a bet, you said that we can enter the middle capital." ”

"I can't." Le Buyi's mouth was quite fast, and he smiled strangely: "Ninety percent of the time, the eunuch is already waiting at the city gate." ”

Qin Lei nodded, and said with a gloomy face: "I don't know what's going on now, I heard that someone has been killed......

Le Buyi's face also fell, and he said in a deep voice: "The emperor is just going to keep His Royal Highness out of the city, so that his minions can be unscrupulous!" ”

"Maybe it's a mess, and I don't know how to end it." Qin Lei sneered.

Le Buyi frowned and said, "The emperor has gone mad. ”

It has been nearly a month since Qin Lei and Bo Xian parted ways, and the time has reached the eighth day of the lunar month. More than 20 days ago, Dali Temple arrested nine leaders of the new science and technology scholars, including Shang Dezhong and Xin Litong, on trumped-up charges such as dereliction of duty and perversion of the law. The move provoked a backlash from the rest of the jinshi, who went to demonstrate in front of the Dali temple and demanded that they accompany the nine to prison together.

They thought that this time they would definitely make His Majesty compromise like the previous two times. But although Emperor Zhaowu has always been known for 'bullying the soft and fearing the hard', he will not be afraid of these rootless rookies. With a sneer, he ordered the City Patrol Division to violently disperse them, and arrested more than a dozen leading figures, granting their wishes.

In stark contrast to this lively scene, the interrogation of the Qin Lei Group by the Three Law Divisions was made. That's really 'cold, miserable and miserable'! In the first few days, a few Liubu Langzhong were detained one after another, and it was quite lively. As soon as the news of Qin Lei's return to China came, the old foxes who presided over the trial immediately came out of their heads...... It happened that the third aunt of Wei Zhengyi's wife's second uncle died, and Lord Shangshu of the Criminal Department was bedridden due to excessive grief and took a month off.

As soon as he slipped away, Qu Yan of Dali Temple immediately came to inspiration, and broke his foot that night...... toes, bedridden, three months and ten days off...... It's been a hundred days.

The remaining one of the Imperial Palaces, the Imperial Palace, did not move, neither the third aunt of the younger brother-in-law passed away, nor did he hurt the toe. On the contrary, he was healthy, happy, and even excited, commanding his subordinates to arrest and interrogate.

Why is this so? He has a grudge against Qin Lei, it's as simple as that.

When the head of the official was gearing up and ready to make a big move, he was embarrassed to find ...... There was no one to play with him. Not to mention the large-scale leave of the officials of the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department, even his one-third of an acre of land has some poisonous weeds that have retreated......

The most excessive thing is that even the officials have taken leave. As a result, the station duty at the time of promotion was not complete...... This kind of trial of the three law divisions is the highest standard trial in Daqin, so the number of people who cheer for the eldest lord is also the largest, and there should be 2,918. As a result, only half of the came, either the left four and the right five, or the left five and the right four, and the station was not neat. Put the soul of a king's popularity out of the body, get angry, and don't judge!

Why don't you dare to come? Aren't you afraid of the official who specializes in making small reports? Maybe everyone already knows, the master is back. If you offend the imperial history, you will lose your official position at most, and if you offend the master, you may have to move your head one day.

But those who are capable of imperial history are a group of persistent people; And the capable head of the imperial history is the most persistent one. Lord Wang naturally did not give up, and when he encountered the passive slacking of his subordinates, he gave full play to his expertise - making a small report, and a letter of recital sued Wei Zhengyi and Qu Yan and their subordinates to Emperor Zhaowu.

Emperor Zhaowu was furious, and immediately ordered someone to pass on the decree, so that Wei Zhengyi and Qu Yan two pigheads and three rolls to meet him.

As a result, he smoked all over the place...... Two guys who have always been submissive actually called sick together, saying that they couldn't get up. It is understandable that Wei Zhengyi is overly sad, you Qu Siqing can be unconscious even if you have a toe injury?

After a burst of rage, Emperor Zhaowu felt a chill to his bones, and he finally realized that there was a turbulent countercurrent silently fighting against his imperial power. It's definitely not Qin Lei, that kind of powerful power is not something he can have. Recalling that Wen Yanbo's downfall was inexplicably smooth, Emperor Zhaowu was even more suspicious in his heart...... How could a prime minister who has been in business for 18 years suddenly become weak and powerless at a critical moment?

There must be something greasy about this!

He was already sure...... There is an invisible black hand that is challenging his authority, trying to press himself back into his original state. But he couldn't fight back precisely because he didn't know who his opponent was yet...... Jiang Zhiyu? Impossible, this old guy has been gone for more than ten years, although several Shangshu are his former protégés, but the influence is limited after all. Tian Minnong? It's impossible, if he had such ability, how could he succumb to Wen Yanbo for more than ten years and never be able to turn over?

As for Gong Yilian, Wei Zhengyi, Ko Yanwu, and Wang Anting, the same situation is true...... They are all defeated under Wen Yanbo, how can they have so much energy?

Is it Li Hun? Could it be that this old thing is secretly stumbling on me under the pretext of recuperation? The answer is obviously no, if Li Sanjun had this ability, he would have ruled the country and generations for generations, what are you still doing squatting on the side?

This can't be, and that can't either, Emperor Zhaowu is really puzzled. In fact, he didn't know that the answer was infinitely close, as long as he could jump out of the habitual thinking, he could know the true thoughts of the matter.

However, he fell into a misunderstanding, and as a result, until he died, he did not figure out who his opponent was. This led to his next string of misguided moves......

Be sure to figure it out! Lao Tzu finally became an uncle, but he couldn't be forced to be a grandson again! Emperor Zhaowu was embarrassed now, but he didn't understand how to think about it, he was distressed, anxious, and after a long time, his temper became very irritable! In the end, I came up with a solution that was not a solution, and that was to arrest people!

Scratch! Scratch! Scratch! Examine! Examine! Examine! Caught and judged! The trial is over!

Finally, the emperor could no longer bear this torment and broke out...... His ideas are simple and practical: don't you show up? Then I will arrest all your henchmen, and try them one by one, and there will always be someone who you are!

The reason why the emperor has this courage, in addition to the fear of the unknown power, is because of the solipsism of more than half a year, which makes him a little ...... I can't find the north.

In the distrust of the hundred officials, the person who carried out this arrest task was neither the criminal department nor the soldiers of the city patrol department, but the royal spy who had been hidden for many years. Since you want to come to the forefront, you have to have a name. But we have long known that it is difficult to increase the number of staff.

In order to avoid the chatter of the courtiers, Emperor Zhaowu had to make up an idea in his inner palace. He attached the royal spy to the imperial horse supervisor who raised horses for him, appointed Lou Wanli as the deputy head of the imperial horse supervisor, and led a freshly baked royal horse supervisor spy to start the first public mission...... You have to ask who is the chief eunuch, or the old eunuch who raised horses, because of the ancestral system of the past dynasties, only eunuchs can serve as the chief eunuch of the thirteen eunuchs in the inner house, so the deputy chief of the building is hopeless in this life.

With an evil fire, the deputy head of the building took office, he is not like his master, and he still has so many concerns. Since you asked me to arrest someone, then I will arrest him......

From 20 November to the sixth day of the lunar month, more than 100 Beijing officials were arrested, and in addition to the more than 30 people who had entered the prison before, 20 percent of the total number of Beijing officials were actually loaded in the prison of the Criminal Department...... Generally speaking, even if the country dies, there will not be so many officials in prison at the same time, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is unprecedented.

In fact, there is no need to arrest so many people, but Lou Wanli is doing things publicly for the first time, and naturally wants to behave better, so he is particularly positive, and since ancient times, arresting people has been the favorite of cool officials. Moreover, the secret agents of the Imperial Horse Supervisor came from a lowly background, basically from the coachmen, sailors, shopkeepers, sedan chair men, and the like. As the saying goes, 'the foot of the car and ship shop, the innocent should be killed', and the quality of these people can be imagined.

Emperor Zhaowu's decision to imprison Daxing was not the biggest mistake he had ever made, and he appointed a restaurant owner to lead a group of social scum to carry out this matter.

When these spies found that the adults who were usually high up in the sky suddenly became inferior to themselves, and their possessions were swept away by them and their ladies were allowed to play with them, they immediately regarded it as the most pleasant thing in the world, and they stayed up all night and enjoyed it. People have to sigh that interest is the best motivation!

As a result, more and more arrests were made, and His Majesty didn't say that he couldn't ask what was going on, and after coming and going, he began to arrest in pieces. Among them, the five yamen of the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, Officials' Department, Ministry of Rites, and Kyoto Prefecture, which were the most severely affected, almost did not pull any of them from the Liupin Principal to the Wupinlang, forming the absolute main force of the prison army.

At this time, Emperor Zhaowu also felt that something was wrong, but the matter was already in an uproar, and he had to find out why. Otherwise, he will become the emperor who has wronged hundreds of officials, where will his face go? The emperor, who was difficult to ride a tiger, had to grit his teeth and persevere, hoping that one day he could get that name and get rid of this big trouble.

The middle capital before and after the wax moon is just like what is written in "The Story of Yueyang Tower": "The yin wind roars, and the turbid waves are emptied; In the twilight, the tiger roars and the ape cries. ’

Except for those deep-rooted purple-robed officials, all officials in the Central Capital are in danger. Every morning, they will dress up, say goodbye to their families one by one, hug their wives and children, and then explain their private money, and then go out step by step. With the crying behind him, there is really a feeling that the wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man is gone.

At dusk, the whole family, wives and children will wait at the door, looking forward to it, until they see the official returning, and then it will be considered that the day has been spent safely.

Even so, the 'black hand brother' that Emperor Zhaowu was looking forward to did not jump out to fight back, as if he didn't care about his own henchmen at all.

Emperor Zhaowu completely lost his mind, and he ordered the Imperial Horse Supervisor to be tortured...... This is a pioneering act, but it is actually illegal, because Daqin clearly stipulates: 'The law does not punish the doctor', and the secret agent of the Imperial Horse Prison who has long been unable to hold back has thoroughly implemented this order.

In addition to the leather whip, tiger chair, and chili water, they also gave full play to their subjective initiative and researched new criminal laws such as 'burning the company camp' and 'ants crossing the river', which added new wealth to Daqin's cause of extorting confessions by torture.

The secret agents of the Imperial Horse Prison obviously overestimated the bearing capacity of these delicate officials, and before they finished their tricks, they actually killed people!

And three people were killed in one day, and the government and the opposition were in an uproar!

How can anyone be so bullied? The courtiers were outraged! But when they wanted to fight back, they found that they were helpless in the face of unreasonable violence, weak and deceitful...... Strike the dynasty? Since September, the emperor has not been in the court, and all government affairs are handled in the imperial study. Strike? Now is the coldest season of the year, which also means the most idle time of the year, until the first month of the next year, your lordship's yamen is deserted.

When all civilized practices were overthrown, officials focused their attention on violence.

Violence against violence is the way to go.
