Chapter 241: If you don't want to be weak-hearted, don't do bad things
Guo Xiao was investigated, and the entire ministry was basically paralyzed, and the incident happened too suddenly, and the people in the ministry were panicked.
When Xiao Zhi came back, he saw that the entire household yamen was in a mess, and many official documents had also been turned out, and it was estimated that people in the palace had searched for it.
"Lord Xiao, why did you come back, something big happened to our officials!" Gu Yuan, the servant of the ministry, saw Xiao Zhi talking non-stop like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, and it could be seen that this person was also on the verge of collapse, and he had turned into chatter uncontrollably.
After Xiao Zhi heard this, he said, "It doesn't matter if I'm here or not." ”
Gu Yuan said: "Now that Lord Shangshu has been investigated, our officials are afraid that they will be disgusted by the emperor, maybe I will also be suspected by the emperor, whether there is collusion with Shangshu!" ”
When Xiao Zhi heard this, he took the opportunity to ask, "What kind of collusion does the adult have?" ”
Gu Yuan's head shook into a rattle and said, "How can I have the guts, not to mention that it is impossible for others to tell me to get a piece of the pie!" ”
Xiao Zhi smiled and said: "In this case, Lord Gu doesn't need to be afraid, if Lord Guo is innocent, he will naturally be released, and the investigation is not a conviction, and even if he is really convicted in the end, it will be Lord Gu, your wealth is coming!" ”
Hearing this, Gu Yuan shook his head again: "Do you think that I will be able to go up after Guo Xiao goes down?" How can it be so easy?!" He is really weak-hearted, Guo Xiao has indeed done something secretly for so many years, and they have also turned a blind eye, so what they are doing secretly Guo Xiao is also silent, now that the wall has collapsed, if it is not good, the other walls will also collapse, as long as it is checked, something must be torn out together.
When Xiao Zhi heard this, he didn't understand, so he asked, "What's the use of Lord Gu telling me this?" I'm just a petty official. ”
Gu Yuan said: "This official knows that you are a celebrity in front of the emperor, this matter ......"
"Just wait and see." Xiao Zhi said, this ministry was originally responsible for supervising officials, but now he has become a dung pit, this time it depends on how Fang Shuo attacks, and how many people can be eliminated.
Xiao Zhi was still on vacation, just come to the Ministry to take a look, and then go home and wait for the news, and when Guo Xiao's results come out, he will decide what to do next.
The children in Beijing were lost, deliberately made stupid and crippled and then sent to Baishantang, how many people were shattered because of this, the emperor was so angry that he wanted to cut Guo Xiao directly on the spot, and the people complained, and finally gathered directly at the gate of the Yamen of Dali Temple, saying that Guo Xiaoling would be executed for a long time.
The emperor directly waved his pen, Guo Xiao did sentence Ling Chi, and the other cadres involved in the case were all beheaded to show the public, and even the queen did not wait, the emperor personally wrote a red text to make a decision.
On the day of the execution, the eight outer floors of the vegetable market were full of people, and the parents and family members of the victims threw rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs on the hair yard one after another.
Xi Hongdou stood at the door of the shop, the street was blocked for a long time, and her street was full of people, so she naturally wouldn't go to see those bloody scenes, but the court was very happy this time.
Sister Qiao said at this time: "These people, when they die, they are cheap, whose children are treasures, they are so unconscionable, if they are just sold, it is good, the children are still alive, but they are the scourge of other people's children to the point that they are not human or ghosts, and if they die, they will go to hell and go to the oil pot, and they will never be able to live forever!" ”
Sister Qiao's child was almost killed, and she hated these traffickers, but she really couldn't understand this officialdom, she was already a human being when she was an official, so why did she do this? Is it true that anything can be thrown away for the sake of money?
Xi Hongdou has always been conscientious in business, and he can't do things that he can't do.
The matter was settled, and the victim's family could only rely on time to dilute everything in the end.
Because of this incident, the Ministry of Officials has become the object of ridicule, when the Dynasty was in power, they were criticizing how bad the Ministry of Officials was, Gu Yuan was not found out this time, and he was also fast, when Dali Temple found out about his head, all the clues were cut off, but although he saved his life, he also had no power, he was not young, and it was impossible to start again at this time, and in the end he could only write to the emperor to resign and go home.
Fang Shuo took revenge this time, and the emperor called people to the study to talk.
"You've done a good job on this errand." The emperor said: "Did you do it all alone?" ”
Fang Shuo began to beat the drum in his heart, and then said, "Someone has been paying attention and secretly gave the news. ”
The emperor said, "Who? ”
"Xiao Zhi." Fang Shuo said.
Fang Shuo had also said to Xiao Zhi before that this matter would not leak out Xiao Zhi's weight inside, but the emperor had always been suspicious, since he had already asked about it, it was estimated that he knew something, and it would be bad for him not to say it.
The emperor nodded, and then said: "This is also his style, but he is not greedy for merit, if I don't ask you, do you also promise him not to tell this matter?" ”
Fang Shuo's heart was full of ups and downs, thanks to what he told the truth just now, the emperor really knew everything!
"Lord Xiao feels that he is also a member of the ministry, and although he can't stand some things, he doesn't want to stab him in the back, so he gave all the things he got to the minister." Fang Shuo told the truth, with his understanding of the emperor for so many years, the emperor should be very pleased with Xiao Zhi's practice of not being greedy for merit.
The emperor nodded, and then said with a smile: "No wonder he told me that he didn't stay long in the ministry and wanted to go to the Imperial History Tower." "When you get to the Yushitai, you can blatantly want to stab whom, and you don't have to worry about it so much.
"Alright, you can go back first." The emperor asked Fang Shuo to go first, and after a while, Zhao Zhen came in and said, "Your Majesty, the crown prince is pregnant, and the emperor is going to be a grandfather." ”
When the emperor heard this, he asked, "Which Liangdi?" ”
"Cui Liangdi." Zhao Zhen said.
The emperor was really happy, this is still the first grandchild in the palace, but this Cui Liangdi has no background, and any other Liangdi who is pregnant can also bring the allegiance of her mother's family, and this Cui Liangdi's child is ...... Chicken ribs, farts are useless.
"The wedding date of the prince's wedding should also be raised." The emperor said that it is not good to let a good woman have a child before the princess enters the palace, and it is not very good-looking.
Zhao Zhen responded, it seems that the emperor really doesn't look down on this Cui Liangdi, but the prince takes Cui Liangdi as a treasure.
On the other hand, the East Palace is polarized because Cui Xueying is pregnant, the prince and Cui Xueying are happy to go to heaven, and the others are ...... Get together and say something to vent your anger.
"What did you say before, before the crown princess entered the palace, she didn't let us get pregnant, and then we didn't even spend the night, now it's okay, it's not that we won't be pregnant, but that our sisters won't be pregnant, and the daughter of that businessman is pregnant first!"
"There's no way, who made His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just like people, let's not talk about this, we are not favored in the first place, if we are rumored bad again, we don't have to live."
A few good people gossip, and they thought that they would have to intrigue when they entered the palace, but now that men are not counted as them, what else are they robbing?
Cui Xueying has not been idle since she gave in, her father has been an outsider because of herself, although she is not an official, but her status is also there, Cui Xuelou has such a favored sister here, and it is also smooth sailing in the Ministry of Industry, and she also has face.
It's just that Cui Xueying is still unhappy, the palace is like a gorgeous cage, and the competition for favor is just to live a better life.
"Liangdi, now Liangdi is the first to get pregnant, as long as she gives birth to a boy, she is the eldest grandson of the emperor, and Liangdi will have something to rely on in the future." The palace maid Su'er said.
Cui Xueying said: "When can I go out of the palace to see?"
"Out of the palace? I can't, but if I go to Begu to escape the summer in the future, I will have a chance to be taken there. Su'er said, it is not easy for a woman who has entered the palace to get out.
Cui Xueying remembered at this time that at the palace banquet that day, she seemed to see Xi Hongdou from a distance, so she asked, "Can I find someone to accompany me?" ”
"No, even if you are pregnant, unless it is a privilege, you have to be a concubine or above." Su'er said: "It's just that Liangdi wants to see someone to find the prince to say, it should be allowed." ”
Cui Xueying shook her head, she just felt lonely, there were no good people in the palace, and she could only live by herself in the future.
The turmoil in Beijing finally subsided, and everyone returned to a peaceful life, Xi Hongdou went to the teahouse to watch a new play, and Su Yuanjia sat next to him.
Zhao Fengqi's age is there after all, last month he accepted a boy with good qualifications to sing opera, the person is the little beggar that Xi Hongdou brought back from the market, Baishantang is closed, and there are more wandering beggars on the street, Xiao Zhi said that Baishantang is only temporarily closed, and someone should take over again after that to avoid the previous situation.
After the little beggar was washed and cleaned, the appearance condition was matched by Zhao Fengqi, and then he named Zhao Jieyu and taught him every day. Xi Hongdou also said that the disciples are not allowed to beat, they are not allowed to starve, otherwise they will be the same as the previous Jinyu class, but the children are naughty after all, Xi Hongdou said that if Zhao Jieyu is not obedient, he will not be allowed to eat, it turns out that he has been a little beggar, and what he is most afraid of is starvation, and people will be honest.
Sister-in-law Liu finally gave birth in April and gave birth to a son, Zhao Fengqi happily circled the house.
"When the child grows up in the future, will he also learn drama?" Xi Hongdou asked.
Zhao Fengqi shook his head: "If you don't learn, it's too hard, in the future, he will be a pawn of a peddler, don't get involved in this business." ”
Sister-in-law Liu said: "I will definitely study in the future." "I was born in a scholarly family, and now even if I fail, my son can start anew here.
