In the Yuqing Palace in the Forbidden City, a minister about fifty years old wearing a first-grade court dress reported the situation to the prince with a worried face, and behind this minister, there were two ministers wearing three-grade court clothes.

The crown prince Yinren listened to the report of the minister in front of him, the expression on his face was unwavering, seeing this, the minister was a little anxious: "Your Highness, just now Zhang Mingshan, the right servant of the Ministry of Officials, sent information to the old minister, saying that the Ministry of Officials is inspecting the left capital of the Inspectorate Yu Shi Yin Tebu, Yin Tebu because of the merit in this investigation and corruption, the court may let him take over the position of the old minister and the military department, if this is the case, His Royal Highness will be the master of the old minister." ”

It turned out that this minister was the current secretary of the Ministry of War, Geng Er, who heard that his official position was about to be unable to keep it, and in anxiety, he pulled two colleagues to the palace to complain, hoping that the prince could stand up for him.

After Geng's words fell, a minister next to him continued: "Your Highness, just now Geng Shangshu was reasonable, looking at the recent situation, it seems that there is some unpredictable authority on the side of the saint, this morning there is news from Hebei, Hebei Governor Tian Wenshun has been detained by the Inspectorate for questioning because of his greed for huge sums of money and framing his colleagues."

Bai Zhiyu, the former political envoy of Hebei, was appointed as the new governor of Hebei by the Holy Lord because of his meritorious report, and the holy decree conveyed by Lord Li Guangdi in place of the Holy Lord is really a great grace of the emperor, but this matter has not been communicated with the Yamen of the Governor of Zhili, I am afraid this is not a good sign. ”

At this time, another minister also spoke: "What Lord Wu said is extremely true, Wei Chen observed the recent behavior of the Holy Lord, and it seems that it is not good for His Highness, especially the matter of Qi Shangshu, who knew that Qi Shangshu was close to His Highness, and still nailed him to the city wall. I'm afraid the implication is to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger.

And the attitude of the eighth master and the fourth master this time is also incomprehensible, Xu Yuanmeng, who impeached Qi Shangshu, is all the eighth master's people, but they gave Huang Baishan a share of the credit this time, you must know that Huang Baishan is the fourth master's disciple, right? The eighth master and the fourth master have joined forces? ”

Hear here. Yinren, who was speechless, flashed a sharp edge in his eyes, glanced at the three people in front of him, and said softly: "You have all followed this palace for many years, everyone is your own person, and this palace understands your scruples."

Huang Ama has been acting vigorously recently. But through the last Qi Shiwu incident, the palace believes that Huang Ama is still biased towards the palace, otherwise, why didn't Huang Ama let the inspectorate expand the scope of investigation? But it is only limited to Qi Shiwu's corruption and bribery?

As for the fourth and eighth joining forces, you can rest assured. I know the character of the fourth, I am too cautious, according to his temper, it is impossible to get together with the eighth, it is estimated that the fourth child sees that I have been frustrated recently, and is worried that I will repeat the mistakes of the past and affect him, so he is dissociating himself from me.

Hehe...... As long as this crisis of mine passes. With my understanding of the fourth child, he promised to honestly come to me to take the blame, he has nothing to fear, the only thing worth worrying about is the eighth child, the power of the eighth child is getting bigger and bigger.

Geng Shangshu doesn't have to be anxious, if Huang Ama really rewards you with the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of War, you can return to the palace and return you to the position of Shangshu, hum...... The eighth instructed Xu Yuanmeng and the three of them to impeach Qi Shiwu and cut off one of my arms, if I don't give him a blow. The ministers of the court still think that I am weak and can be bullied.

Turning back, he ordered Liu Shuqing, the governor of Zhejiang, to take down Tong Yanshan, the political envoy of Zhejiang, for questioning, and then wrote to the imperial court, saying that Tong Yanshan was corrupt and bent the law, forcibly occupied people's daughters, and bought and sold officials. I thought that I was in trouble at that time, but fortunately I was suppressed by Mr. Xishui, and now it finally comes in handy, Tong Yanshan is Tong Guowei's nephew, I think he will deal with this matter? ”

When the crown prince was talking about this, a little eunuch walked in at the door: "Your Highness, the secret letter sent by Mr. Zhang, please take a look at it." After speaking, the little eunuch respectfully placed a roll of paper in his hand in front of Yinren.

After the little eunuch retreated, Yinren opened the paper ball and looked at it, after reading it, a trace of haze flashed on his face, and after the paper ball was turned into ashes with fire, Yinren sighed: "After years of planning, I wanted to make an immortal contribution, but I didn't expect that in the end, it turned into an empty dream. ”

Outside Shanhaiguan, after Liu Hua dismissed the groom, he rode his horse and galloped on the vast land outside the pass, Shen Jiaolin sat in front, Liu Hua hugged her in the back, and saw the beauty in his arms, and then saw the endless black land around him, Liu Hua suddenly had a heroic feeling.

Riding the breeze and galloping on the horse, Liu Hua sang the song "Ah...... on horseback on a whim Yes...... Yes...... When the mountain peaks have no edges and corners, when the river no longer flows. When time stops day and night, all things in the world are nothing, I still can't break up with you, I can't break up with you, your gentleness is the biggest waiting in my life, let us be the red dust as a companion of the chic and chic, gallop to share the prosperity of the world, sing the joy in my heart to the wine, and vigorously grasp the youth......"

In this era, there has never been a man singing, hearing Liu Hua's lyrics have both chic and heroic feelings, as well as the sound of gentle affection, Shen Jiaolin was stupid for a while, she never thought that Liu Hua could sing, and sang so well, when Liu Hua's singing stopped, she looked back at Liu Hua, and shouted at him loudly: "Why are you so good?" How many more surprises do you want to give me? ”

After hearing this, Liu Hua was stunned for a moment, looked down at Shen Jiaolin who was looking at him with affection, he was impulsive in his heart, put his hands around Shen Jiaolin's delicate body, lowered his head, and kissed Shen Jiaolin's delicate lips, after feeling Liu Hua's actions, Shen Jiaolin did not refuse, hugged Liu Hua's neck with her backhand, closed her eyes and let Liu Hua kiss her.

After two days of running, Liu Hua and the others finally arrived at the yamen of the prefect of Liaoshun Prefecture, the weather here was too cold, although the two were wearing cotton jackets, wrapped themselves in cotton clothes, and only showed two eyes, even so, the two still couldn't stand it.

After booking two rooms in a local inn, Liu Hua and Shen Jiaolin came to their respective rooms, the room was burned with a warm kang, even if they were wearing single clothes, they didn't feel cold, they sat in the house for a while, and when they saw that it was almost noon, Liu Hua asked Shen Jiaolin to wait in the inn, and he went to the prefect's yamen to go through the handover procedures.

After inquiring all the way, after coming to the prefect's yamen, Liu Hua took his official certificate and order, and wanted to meet with the local prefect Liu Chuan, after all, he was the chief catcher here, and he would be on an errand under Liu Chuan in the future, in order to facilitate the work in the future, he had to communicate with the other party first.

But Liu Hua didn't expect that he had a closed door on the first day of taking office, and after hearing Liu Hua's intention, the official standing guard at the door first went to the yamen to report, and it didn't take long for the official to run back, and then the official told Liu Hua that Liu Chuan didn't have time to see him.
