When Xue Juzheng and the others heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other, Leng Yi was so young, he was in such a high position, and he held such a heavy power, which shows the trust and dependence of the official family on him, and it can also be seen that the official family is determined to build Jin Mingchi.

Zhao Guangyi said to Hua Rui again: "Queen, let's go back and continue to play, shall we?" ”

Hua Rui shook her head: "I've seen everything that should be seen, Prince Dezhao and Huang Zhaoyi died tragically, and the concubines really have no intention of playing in the mountains and rivers, so let's go back." There's a lot to do. ”

Zhao Guangyi was reluctant to give up: "I finally came out, so I went back like this......"

"The official family is busy with state affairs, so it should not be delayed for too long."

Zhao Guangyi saw Hua Rui insisting, and then looked at Xue Juzheng and their gloomy faces, obviously the boss was unhappy, so he had to say: "Okay, go back to the mountain first, and return to the palace in an hour!" -- The bodies of De Zhao and Huang Zhaoyi also drove back. ”

Wang Jien hurriedly agreed again.

Zhao Guangyi looked at Zhao Defang next to him, snorted coldly, and said, "Defang, you come to the big tent with me, I have something to ask you!" ”

Zhao Defang fought a cold war and hurriedly agreed.

Waiting for the official family to leave first with the concubines, Shen Lun, Chu Zhaofu, and Cao Bin gathered around Xue Juzheng and walked back slowly. Seeing that there was no one left and right, Chu Zhaofu said in a low voice: "The death of Prince Dezhao is quite strange!" He is cautious and will never bully Huang Zhaoyi. ”

Cao Bin said: "That's right, there must be some conspiracy here!" Maybe it was the official family who set up a bureau to lure Zhao Dezhao into the trap and take the opportunity to get rid of him! Just to fight for the throne! ”

Shen Lun glared at him: "You be quiet!" You're yelling like this, you don't want to die? ”

"No way, I was born with a big voice!"

Chu Zhaofu said to Xue Juzheng: "Lord Xue, what should you do about this matter?" ”

Xue Juzheng smiled bitterly: "What can I do?" As you heard just now, the official said that we can only follow his will. ”

"But we can't sit back and watch the officials kill people so indiscriminately! He killed Daji Beauty for no reason before, and now he has forced Prince Dezhao to death, next, who will he kill? - Zhao Defang? Or Zhao Tingmei, the king of Qi? ”

Cao Bin said: "Nonsense! Both of them must be the targets of the official family, who makes it possible for them to take the throne from the official family in the future?

Shen Lun groaned: "Today's incident has allowed me to find another reason why the official family bestows the death of Daji's beauty." ”

Xue Juzheng and the other three all looked at him: "What is the reason?" ”

"King Qi Zhao Tingmei!" Shen Lun said slowly: "Brother Zheng En and Zhao Tingmei are brothers and sisters, and Brother Zheng En intended to marry this sister to King Qi back then. King Qi also likes her very much. It's a pity that the first emperor said first that he wanted to accept Daji into the palace. In this way, Da Ji Mei became the imperial sister-in-law of King Qi. However, the relationship between King Qi and Zheng En's family has deepened because of this incident. Zheng En felt sorry for King Qi and always wanted to make amends. Before his death, he told his sister Daji many times to take care of King Qi as much as possible and help King Qi.

Cao Bin high-fived and said: "I understand, the official family has to deal with Zhao Tingmei, the king of Qi, and the king of Qi has many friends, and there is such an internal response as Daji Beauty in the inner court, which is like a knife in the heart of the official family!" Naturally, the official family wants to get rid of Daji Beauty first! ”

Chu Zhaofu's face was a little pale: "...... say so, but all the friends of King Qi, the official family has to get rid of them?" ”

Cao Bin said: "It's not all, it depends on whether it is a key person, if it is, a person like Daji Beauty, the official family must get rid of it, so as to prevent future troubles!" ”

Chu Zhaofu was even more timid: "I ......, we have a good relationship with King Qi...... will the official family ...... and attack us?" ”

Cao Bin squinted at him, and said half-truthfully: "That's hard to say, you and I are privy envoys, holding military power, and we are the most feared people in the official family, let's get close to the king of Qi, and the official family will get rid of the right hand of the king of Qi first!" ”

Chu Zhaofu stood still, cold sweat broke out in his head.

Xue Juzheng glared at Cao Bin: "Don't talk nonsense about these scary things!" ”

"I'm not talking nonsense, that's how it is! The official family even forced his own nephew to death, what are we? ”

Shen Lun nodded with a bitter face: "Yes, if this is the case, it is better to return to the hometown, disarm and return to the field, and still be able to live for the rest of your life and die." ”

Chu Zhaofu said: "As long as we don't get close to King Qi and them, and don't disobey the will of the official family, the official family won't deal with us, right?" He has to have someone under him to run errands, no. ”

Xue Juzheng said with a gloomy face: "What is Mingzhe's self-protection? The first emperor entrusted us with an important task, that is, we want to assist the official family and complete the great cause of dominating the world! The official family ignores the grand cause, we can't ignore it! For this reason, the liver and brain are smeared, and you can't retreat! ”

Chu Zhaofu sneered: "I ......, I didn't think about backing down, I also think that we shouldn't talk about the affairs of the royal family." Besides, just now the official family gave Leng Yi the privilege of cutting first and then playing, who would dare to disobey? ”

"That's for the forbidden army, not for us, he can't control us. The affairs of the royal family, if it is a private matter, we naturally can't ask about it, but if it involves the country's society, we can't ignore it! ”

Cao Bin and Shen Lun both nodded yes, but Chu Zhaofu bowed his head and said nothing.

In Zhao Guangyi's big tent.

Zhao Defang followed Zhao Guangyi in and stood sideways.

Zhao Guangyi slowly walked in front of him, sniffed, snorted coldly, and suddenly slapped Zhao Defang hard, causing Zhao Defang to stumble and fall on the coffee table.

Zhao Defang covered his face and looked at Zhao Guangyi in horror. Zhao Guangyi said viciously: "Don't say that you don't know why I beat you!" If you dare to say that you don't know, I will kill you immediately! ”

Zhao Defang covered his face with both hands, lowered his head, and didn't dare to say a word.

Zhao Guangyi said: "Your second emperor brother is dead, are you happy?" You can wait for me to return to heaven as soon as possible, and Zhao Tingmei, the king of Qi who is in front of you, will also die, and you can sit back and relax and inherit the throne, right? ”

Zhao Defang was shocked, knelt down with a grunt, and kept kowtowing: "Erchen doesn't dare, Erchen doesn't dare......"

"I don't dare!" Zhao Guangyi stared at him and said with pity: "I will let people stare at you, understand?" ”

"Erchen understands! Erchen understands! ”

"Get out!"

Zhao Defang covered his face, slipped out, and when he arrived outside the big tent, he touched his neck, and he really wanted to cry loudly.

When the group returned to the capital, it was already past noon.

Leng Yi went to the palace first, got the official decree of the official family, did not wait for the official way to deliver it, and did not go home, he took the decree and went to the third division in a sedan chair with the guards.

Zhao Dezhao, the envoy of the third division, died suddenly, and the news that Leng Yi, the official of Kaifeng, served as the deputy envoy of the third division, had already reached the third division. And now, the main post is dead, and in addition to Leng Yi, the deputy envoy also has a name named Wang Renzhen. This person came out with all the officials and took Leng Yi to the main hall of the yamen.

Leng Yi himself read out the holy decree, and a group of officials hurriedly stepped forward to slap their horses.

Leng Yi waved his hand and said: "The official doesn't care about the other things of the three divisions, the official is ordered to be specifically responsible for the construction of Jinming Pond, and the official family's requirements for this project are very tight, so I really have no time to gossip." Let's get straight to the point. Give you a day, work overtime overnight, and come up with a specific work plan for the official, what to do in the first step, what to do in the second step, the more specific the better, how many people are transferred from where, where do people live, how to manage food and drink, where to start digging, where to put the soil, etc., understand? It is necessary to have a surname that can be used as a surname, to be detailed, and every link must be taken into account. -- Remember, you only have one day, and you will give me the specific construction plan at this time. All the people in the three divisions put down other things in their hands and devoted themselves to this matter! The official's ugly words are put in front, this is the most important thing, the so-called three fires for the new official to take office, the official does not want the fire to burn to any of you! However, if any of you does not listen to the greeting and messes things up, the fire of this official will surely burn on him! ”

Wang Renzhen wiped his cold sweat and nodded repeatedly: "I understand, I understand!" ”

The two deputy envoys of the three divisions are of the same rank, but Leng Yi's deputy commander in front of the palace is the fourth grade, which is higher than the deputy envoy of the third division. So Wang Renzhen can only call himself humble.

Leng Yi said: "The construction of Jinmingchi this time requires the use of 400,000 people, and the official family has promised to provide all the people with food during the two-year construction period, and at the same time, they must also give a certain amount of wages. Under such conditions, it is estimated that many people will take the initiative to ask to come, and you mainly select laborers in those particularly poor places, which can be regarded as helping them, but it should be noted that they must be young and strong laborers, and those who are old, weak, sick and disabled cannot ask for one, and they must return when they come! The official will organize a team of supervisors to conduct inspections, and if it is found that the people who do not meet the requirements, the officials who approve the entry will be held responsible, not only to punish, but also to punish those who are not qualified to return to their hometowns, and the travel and accommodation expenses will be taken out of his money! Do you understand? ”

All the officials hurriedly agreed.

After Leng Yi finished arranging the work, he immediately got up and came to Sanya.

This kind of news spreads very quickly, so the officials of Sanya have already received the news and learned that Leng Yi has come, so they all hurried out to greet him.

The three yamen are the general name of the three military departments in front of the palace, the guard horse army and the guard infantry army, and the three yamen have their own reading power, and there is no unified chief, and they are responsible to the emperor respectively. Among them, the front of the palace is higher than the other two departments. Zhao Guangyi made Leng Yi the commander of the palace, which was actually just a treatment. The key is that the official family ordered him to lead the entire forbidden army except for the palace guard forbidden army to invest in the construction of Jinmingchi, which is the real power. The Sanya only had the power to command the soldiers, not the power to mobilize the army, which came from the emperor and was issued through the privy envoys. But now, Leng Yi has the power to mobilize almost all the forbidden troops of the three military departments, and has become the de facto commander of the three armed forces. Of course, his commander was limited to mobilizing troops to work on construction sites. However, with the privilege of cutting first and then playing, it seems that this power is extremely powerful.

Therefore, all the officials of the Sanya almost nodded to him and smiled.

Leng Yi summoned the deputy capital of the three yas, Yu Hou, together for a meeting, announced the holy decree of the official family, and said: "You already know that the official family asked the official to dispatch all the forbidden troops except for the imperial city guard to participate in the construction of Jinmingchi, this is the top priority of our Sanya, and no one is allowed to make irresponsible remarks!" If there is disobedience, the official family has already given the official the privilege of life and death, and at that time, the official will not blame the official for being polite! ”

Although these generals were very unconvinced that Leng Yi was young as their leader, they also had a lot of opinions on mobilizing the forbidden army to build a garden lake. However, with the holy purpose of the official family, and the right to execute disobey military orders, they naturally did not dare to complain.

Leng Yi asked Sanya to immediately mobilize the soldiers and convey military discipline to every soldier. At the same time, we will provide the necessary training in labor functions and start working as soon as the construction plan is approved. At the same time, Leng Yi asked the three yas to draw out two hundred people each, and they must be tall and strong soldiers, a total of six hundred, to form twelve overseers. Directly under your own command. Supervision of construction. The next time I reported to the door of the three ya.

Leng Yi received some soldiers' costumes from Sanya and changed them into for his escorts. Follow yourself to enforce the law.

By the time the arrangements were made, it was already dark. Leng Yi returned home under the protection of the escort team.

His house is full of people at the moment. They are all here to congratulate. The official family sealed Leng Yi's fourth-grade official, and then promoted his parents' wives and concubines, all of which were promoted according to Leng Yi's current rank.

When Leng Yi came to the inner hall, the wife of Zhao Tingmei, the king of Qi, as well as the eldest princess of Lu and Shi Shouxin's wife and concubine, with a large group of high-ranking officials and noble wives, and Zhuo Qiaoniang, Xiao Zhouhou, Hua Wuxiang and other women, were talking around Cheng Luojie. A room full of people, chirping and laughing. Cheng Luojie's face was flushed, ashamed and happy, and she was even more shy and embarrassed when she saw Leng Yi coming in, and she didn't dare to look at him with her head down.

Leng Yi smiled: "Why is it so lively?" ”

Shi Shouxin's wife was the most clever, and quickly got up and said, "Lord Leng, I congratulate you!" Congratulations to the lord for his promotion, congratulations to the lord for being married by the official family and accepting the girl as a concubine. Congratulations to the adults' parents, wives and concubines for being canonized by the official family! ”

The others also congratulated the blessing.

Leng Yi looked at Cheng Luojie: "You all know it?" ”

Princess Qi smiled: "Of course! The decree of marriage and canonization by the official family arrived at noon. Everyone is here to say hello! ”

Hua Wuxiang on the side pouted and said, "And me?" Why didn't Madame congratulate me? ”

Princess Qi smiled and said, "You little girl, what's the joy?" Could it be that seeing that Miss Cheng is going to marry Lord Leng as a concubine, you are also tempted, and you want to find a mother-in-law? ”

Hua Wuxiang's face suddenly turned red, and she whispered: "The princess is just going to make fun of people!" I'm going to take the palace exam the day after tomorrow and I'm going to be the champion! I'm the only woman to enter the temple exam! Isn't it worth your celebration for me? ”

Zhuo Qiaoniang clapped her hands and exclaimed: "That's right, Wuxiang has greatly added luster to our women this time, and it is indeed worth celebrating!" ”

Xiao Zhouhou also said: "Exactly! If the day after tomorrow is tried in the palace and Wuxiang wins the champion in one fell swoop, it will be even more glory for our women! Don't talk about others, it's just us, we should celebrate Wuxiang! ”
