Chapter 437: How Deep Is It?
Jia Wenrou died like this, no matter what she had done, Duanmuqing still couldn't help but sigh.
And after this incident, all parties behaved unusually calm.
What Han Yuan said when he summoned Han Lingyan that day, Duanmu Qing didn't know, but after this incident, Han Lingyan didn't say anything.
It's just that on the bright side, Jia Wenrou's funeral was handled very steadily.
After this incident, the palace became as silent as stagnant water.
Even Guo Jiashu's Chonghua Palace did not have anything wrong because of the removal of all the palace people.
It's just that now Duanmu Qing is going to Chonghua Palace, and there have never been rumors like before.
It seems that all of a sudden, Concubine Jia and Lord Qingjun shook hands and made peace.
In reality, this is not the case.
Today's Guo Jiashu is just silent, and he just cooperates with Duanmu Qing's daily peace pulse.
As she herself said, they were destined to be opposites, and this time Duanmu Qing saved her child, and she would not be grateful.
It's just that Duanmu Qing didn't intend to make her grateful, so being able to get along so untroubled is already the best state.
This year, Duanmu Qing was in the palace and presided over all the affairs of the palace for the New Year as the master of the palace.
What made her happy was that the palace that the princess had left her was very proper, and everyone seemed to be rooted here.
No one was resentful because she was the county lord who came out of nowhere,
Because it was in Rexiao, the palace did not do a big job, but the people in the palace spent a year together.
At the same time, Duanmu Qing also let Xiaolong and Ning Yuan live in the Ling Wangfu.
There is no other reason, Drunken Junhuai is no longer useful, after Han Lingxi's rectification, everyone in the court is already in danger, and basically no one dares to go to such a place as an official in the court.
What's more, at this time, there was another assassination of Chu Xiuge.
This year's festival is still the same as last year, but this time it was an assassin on the road.
The result of the investigation turned out to be the woman in Chu Xiu Pavilion, and after interrogation, it turned out that Chu Xiu Pavilion was actually a stronghold of a rebel against the East Departure.
After this incident, Chu Xiuge is naturally a pot.
Drunken Junhuai, who has always maintained a momentum with Chu Xiuge, suddenly became the target of public criticism, and was also fiercely investigated.
Although nothing was found, it was still affected, which made the business more and more bleak.
Yun Niang was originally a person who begged for a living on the tip of a knife, and when she encountered such a situation at this time, relatively speaking, it may be the result she is most willing to see.
At the beginning, she agreed to cooperate with Duanmu Qing because of the power of the Xiao Party, and at this time, Duanmu Qing was obviously classified into Han Ling's party.
And now Han Lingxian is very hot in the court of Dongli, and after thinking about it a little, you will know that in Yun Niang's heart, Duanmu Qing has become the second Xiao Shangshu.
Duanmuqing knew this, and he didn't want to embarrass her, so he opened his words.
Yun Niang took this opportunity to withdraw from the right and wrong circle in Changjing, disbanded the entire Drunken Junhuai, and the girls in the building looked for their own way.
In the end, the entire drunken Junhuai was liquidated, and Duanmu Qing also made a small profit.
After Mo Forget died, there would be no one around Duanmu Qing who could be used, and Ning Yuan and Xiaolong would be a little more powerful in the Lingwang Mansion.
After Guo Jiashu's affairs were basically stabilized, Sweet Potato and Ling'er focused on finding their companions in the Hidden Kingdom.
This year has passed like this, although it is not very festive, in the end, it can be regarded as a peaceful pass.
At the moment, everything is safe, and it can be regarded as a sigh of relief.
It's just that I haven't seen Han Lingxi for a long, long time.
After Duanmu Jun went to King Hao's Mansion, he didn't seem to have intersected with this side again.
Of course, the letter of resignation that Duanmu Jun said was still not delivered.
Meng Qing was on duty in the household department, and he had done some things, and he had already become a household servant.
Han Ling's efforts to rectify are getting stronger and stronger, and Meng Qing can be regarded as making a lot of efforts in it.
Seeing the snow gradually melting, and the dripping snow falling along the eaves, Duanmuqing sat under the eaves, looking at the things sent by the Zhenxi Palace, and listening to Ling'er and sweet potatoes fighting in the yard.
"You still have a human touch here, and my house is like a pool of stagnant water." Meng Qing walked over with a box in his hand and smiled.
"Then hurry up and marry a princess and give birth to a bunch of children for you, and it will naturally be lively."
Motioning for a Zhu-like chair to come over, Duanmu Qing replied to him with a smile.
"I want to marry you, but you won't!" smiled and handed the tea in his hand to Duanmu Qing, "I just asked for it from the imperial brother, thinking that you like to drink, I wrapped it for you." ”
"Marry! Why don't you marry, three million taels of dowry, bring it over, and when my filial piety expires, I will definitely marry it. Duanmu Qing opened the box, looked at the tea leaves in the box and smiled, "It's really good tea." ”
"Forget it!" Hearing this, Meng Qing hurriedly waved his hand and smiled, "If I take three million taels as a dowry to propose marriage, the next person Jun Hao wants to check will be me, and when the time comes, he will count both public and private, and I really can't eat and walk around."
I'm afraid that a comfortable prince can't do it! ”
Duanmu Qing handed the tea to Abi behind him, and said with a smile: "Then I have no choice, what else is there to say if you are not sincere enough."
Besides, since you returned to Beijing, when have you ever been an idle prince? Keep saying to him, how can your own hands be stretched short, you are very busy these days! ”
"Yes! I feel like I'm working hard for Jun Hao. ”
Meng Qing leaned back in the chair, sighed softly, and said with a joke: "I found that you know a lot of things!" ”
Duanmu Qing raised his eyelids and said with a smile: "Haven't you heard a word?" Xiucai doesn't go out, he knows what is going on in the world. ”
"Then do you know something happened again?" Meng Qing looked at her with a smile.
"What's the matter?" Duanmu Qing sat up straight, knowing that Meng Qing must not have come over to drink tea today.
"Something about the household!"
"Xiao Yan?"
"I have been checking with Jun Hao for several days, and there are really some problems with the account committee of the household department, but so far, there has been no reason, so it is not easy to check.
What's more, Jun Hao obeyed the imperial brother in the end, the imperial brother didn't say anything, and Jun Hao didn't dare to check on Xiao Yan. ”
Duanmu Qing frowned: "What the hell is going on?" ”
Glancing at the two older children who were still playing in the snow in the yard, Meng Qing lowered his voice: "Xiao Yan seems to have embezzled money from the treasury. ”
"What?!" Duanmu Qing was taken aback, "Is there such a thing?" ”
Although I was surprised, I have to say that when I heard the news, I was more surprised than surprised.
"Probably true." Meng Qing nodded, "Jun Hao made such a big move just to disturb the water in the pool of Changjing, but what is surprising is that although he caught a few typical examples, he didn't move the veins as a whole. ”
"Although a few Xiao Dang were arrested, the others did not move at all, and the arrested people were also very simple, so the evidence confessed to the crime.
This is very suspicious, and later-after Jun Hao's secret investigation, it seems that it is all related to money, many people have a bad debt, think about it, can make so many people grit their teeth, how much money does it take, even if the Xiao party is powerful, it is impossible to have such a big fortune.
Therefore, it is very likely that Xiao Yan used the money from the state treasury. ”
Duanmu Qing thought for a while and said, "You want to trip Xiao Yan from here?"
I'm afraid it's very rare, he has been rolling in officialdom for so many years, if it is really as you said, to do such a thing, will there be no countermeasures? ”
"Now there is a breakthrough missing, it is obvious that Jun Hao's so-called rectification thunder is indeed loud, but in fact, the role of the Xiao Party is not enough."
Duanmu Qing listened to his words, thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "Can I ask you a question?" ”
Meng Qing glanced at her: "Are you so polite to me?" If you have anything you want to ask, just ask. ”
"Why are you so uncommon to Han Lingxi?"
The question asked by Duanmu Qing made the expression on Meng Qing's face freeze suddenly.
It never occurred to her that this was what she was going to ask.
"I don't know what you mean." Meng Qing withdrew the emotion on her face and said with a faint smile.
"In the past, you have never been involved in the affairs of leaving the court in the east, why did you return to Changjing as soon as Han Lingxian came back, and also ended your life as an idle prince and became one of the officialdom of the east, this is really unusual!"
Duanmu Qing stared at his face tightly, and continued: "And your performance after returning to the officialdom also surprised me, because you are not only unfamiliar with this Dongli officialdom, but also have the slightest grasp of it.
At first, I chose to hide it, and even used some personal things to make everyone think that you and Han Lingxi are incompatible.
Then he slowly gained a foothold, then made a stand, stood in Han Ling's party, and quickly made a series of things to cooperate with him.
And rationally use the four words of public and private to explain the relationship between you and him.
Don't tell me it's all just an accident. ”
The smile on Meng Qing's face was still there, but under the light of this winter sun, it was as vulnerable as if it was applied to his face. ”
"I've been away for so long, and I've seen a lot of common things in the world, so naturally I want to come back.
And standing on the court, especially the court at this time, it is natural to choose a position, Jun Haochu returned to the east and needed people, isn't it right for me to choose this way?
As for the methods you mentioned, I am a prince after all, and I have been exposed to it, so will it be difficult to learn it? ”
Duanmu Qing sneered and shook his head: "You should know, I'm not so easy to fool, and now I'm wondering, when I met you at the Xiqi border, was it all planned by you?" ”
Duanmu Qing stared at his eyes, refusing to let go of the slightest change in his expression. 638
