Lan Qingxuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and Cui Chengzhi continued: "The reason why the plague in Jiangnan has developed to this point this time is because of the serious dereliction of duty of those who are officials!" The prince's punishment for them this time is really happy! ”

"You're going too farth!" Lan Qingxuan's words were already a little fierce. --

Cui Chengzhi's tone was extremely firm: "This is not sycophant, but what I say in my heart!" I have heard a lot of deeds of King Luo before, but to tell the truth, before King Luo came, I didn't believe too much in the rumors about the deeds of King Luo, I always felt that he might just be a little better than the prince, and then his heart was still black, but this time I saw with my own eyes that the prince sacrificed his life and forgot to die to plan a way to survive for the people in Jiangnan, and punished corrupt officials so generously, I knew that the prince was actually much better than the rumors! ”

"Has anyone ever told you that sometimes you lose your head if you say the wrong thing?" Lan Qingxuan's tone was cold.

"If I can't be used by the prince this time, then even if I lose my head, it's just that I can't know people clearly, and I am killing myself, and I can't blame anyone." Cui Chengzhi said loudly.

His words are also in his heart, he is conceited and talented, and he can do a lot of things for the people, but his ambitions over the years have not had the opportunity to be realized.

He knew that if he didn't seize this opportunity, then he would probably have to go back to Longshan County as a county magistrate, and then there would be no way out in this life, not that Longshan County was bad, but that place was too small, and he wanted more room to exert himself, if he could, he was even willing to be loyal to Jian Yu and seek welfare for the people of the world.

Lan Qingxuan sneered: "You look like this, this concubine is indeed looking for death, someone is coming, pull him down and cut him down!" ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Cao'er glanced at her, wanted to persuade but didn't dare to persuade, so she coughed lightly.

And the secret guard who was guarding outside, after hearing Lan Qingxuan's words at this time, ran in directly, and stretched out his hand to pull Cui Chengzhi.

Before Cui Chengzhi said those words, although he had two plans, one was to die, and the other was to soar into the sky, but at this time, when Lan Qingxuan really wanted to kill him, he felt extremely sad in his heart.

He had never dared to look at Lan Qingxuan, but at this time, he unconsciously looked up at her.

This is the first time he has seen Lan Qingxuan's appearance, she looks slender and thin, she is a rare beauty, her eyes are bright and transparent, she is also looking at him at this time, seeing his gaze, her gaze is not avoiding it at all.

Cui Chengzhi didn't know what words to use to describe his mood at this time, and when he saw Lan Qingxuan's eyes, his heart was a little desperate, because those eyes were very calm and there was no trace of waves.

He finally couldn't help but say: "It's good for the princess to kill me!" At least it can break my thoughts! ”

After he finished saying this, he looked up to the sky and sighed: "Great Qin is going to die!" ”

"Nonsense!" Lan Qingxuan scolded: "You really don't know what to say! ”

After she finished saying this, she said: "Cui Chengzhi, it is simply stupid to want to seek welfare for the people with such a heart as yours." ”

Cui Chengzhi was stunned for a moment, and she said again: "None of the things have been done, but you only know how fast you speak, if you don't even have your life, everything else is empty talk." Also, how can the national fortunes of Daqin be predicted by your small county order? ”

Cui Chengzhi was stunned again, Lan Qingxuan's eyes were cold, and she said unhurriedly: "You said that Daqin is going to die in the country, I don't believe it!" Let's make a bet! ”

After she said this, she said slowly: "I will keep your life for the time being today, you better remember what you said in front of me today, if you don't do it in the future, I will immediately send someone to take your dog's life." As for now, if someone comes, first pull him aside and lock him up, and no one can let him out without the permission of me and the prince! ”

When all the dark guards heard this, they all responded, and pulled Cui Chengzhi down, when Cui Chengzhi was pulled away, he didn't know whether Lan Qingxuan wanted his life or not!

After Cui Chengzhi was dragged down, Lu Caoer asked, "Is the princess really going to kill him?" ”

"If you really want to kill him, he's just dead now." Lan Qingxuan sighed lightly.

Lu Cao'er was a little relieved when she heard her say this, and asked softly, "What does the princess plan to do with him?" ”

"He is an official of the court, and I have no right to dispose of him, this matter depends on the meaning of the prince." Lan Qingxuan said this, looked at Lu Xu'er and said, "You are usually not troublesome, why are you so concerned about his affairs this time?" ”

Lu Cao'er said with a smile: "It's not that I'm particularly concerned about his affairs, but I just think that the officialdom in the south is in such a mess, and it is impossible for the prince and the princess to stay in the south all the time to deal with this side of the matter, and even if the officials above are dismissed and investigated, the officials below may not be afraid, and the ** of the southern officialdom is much more powerful than the prince and the prince initially expected, otherwise a small porter would not dare to ask for a hundred taels of silver for the road fee." ”

Lan Qingxuan had also thought about this matter before, what Lu Xu'er said was indeed the truth, it was impossible for her and Jian Yu to stay here for a long time, and they didn't have the energy to ask about those things in detail, they had to find someone trustworthy to deal with these things.

There are countless capable people around Jian Yu, but many of those people are in the court, and they don't care about this side of the matter at all, and those who can deal with this side of the matter still need to know something about this side, so Cui Chengzhi is an extremely suitable candidate.

Lan Qingxuan looked at Lu Xu'er and smiled: "You are indeed very thoughtful, if it weren't for Cui Chengzhi's already having a wife and children, I'm afraid I would still think you would have seen him!" ”

Lu Cao'er sighed and said, "The princess has been in a good relationship with the prince recently, and she won't take you like this!" ”

Lan Qingxuan smiled slightly: "Knowing that you grew up in the south, your feelings for this side are much deeper than those in the north, and it is very normal to care more about the affairs of the south than others at this time." ”

Lu Cao'er sighed: "Yes! I grew up here, so I have a deep affection for this side, and in my memory, the south used to be prosperous everywhere, and you can see prosperous cities everywhere, but now it has become like this, and I feel distressed when I look at it. ”

Lan Qingxuan said softly: "Don't worry, with the prince here, he will definitely handle these things properly." ”

Lu Cao'er nodded and said softly: "The princess also grew up in the south, but you were a high-ranking lady before, and you may not know too much about those things among the people, so you don't know about Cui Chengzhi's affairs." ”

"Listening to your tone, it seems that you know a lot about him?" Lan Qingxuan asked, "Why don't you tell me about Cui Chengzhi?" ”

Lu Cao'er thought for a while and said: "If you want to talk about Cui Chengzhi's matter, on the bright side, it can be summed up in the eight words of loving the people like a son and being honest and honest, but there is a detail I still want to tell the princess." ”

Lan Qingxuan nodded, and Lu Cao'er said: "When Cui Chengzhi first arrived in Longshan County, there was no harvest in Longshan County for several years because of the water canal, and the people gathered in the city. ”

Cui Cheng also mentioned this matter when he said it, but what he said was not as serious as Lu Cao'er said, she asked, "How did Cui Chengzhi solve this matter?" ”

After he took office, he first donated all the money in his family, and said in front of the people of the county that it was better to go home to sweet potatoes if he was not in charge of the people. After he finished speaking, he took all the yacha to dig the canal, it was the mountain to collect stones, the people originally thought he was a corrupt official, after seeing his style of acting, they knew that they had misunderstood him, so they went with him to repair the canal, stunned like this, the original empty and broken canal was repaired again, and in the process, he also paid a great price, the youngest son of the family starved to death because of the lack of food, it is said that the day his youngest son died, he sat by the canal and cried, The people around him didn't know how to know about it, and they couldn't deliver what they could eat to his house. Lu Cao'er said softly.

Lan Qingxuan sighed softly after hearing these words and said, "He may be a good official, but he is not a good father. ”

"What the princess said is that being his daughter-in-law is actually quite hard." Lu Cao'er said softly: "But it is said that his daughter-in-law is also a rare virtuous woman, and she has never complained about him. ”

Lan Qingxuan said faintly: "Whether his daughter-in-law complains about him or not, he may not know it himself, only his daughter-in-law knows in her heart, seeing her son die in her arms, how can she not have a little resentment in her heart?" ”

After thinking about her words carefully, Lu Cao'er felt that what she said made sense, and immediately nodded her head and said: "What the princess said is that it is really a blessing for the people to have an official like him in the south where corrupt officials are rampant, and he really wants to do something for the people." ”

Lan Qingxuan nodded lightly and said, "I know this matter in my heart, and I will discuss with the prince how to appoint Cui Chengzhi." ”

It was already three days after Jian Yu dealt with those corrupt officials, he came out of the council hall, his eyes were a little gloomy, and Yelan said in front of him: "Lord Wang, the things you explained have been arranged." ”

Jian Yu nodded lightly and asked, "What about Cui Chengzhi?" ”

"After the prince released him the day before yesterday, he went to find the princess, he may have said something against the princess, and the princess directly locked him up, which should still be locked up and not released." Yelan replied.
