Lu Huan'er said excitedly to Qi Long: "Chunxiang is coming back, in a month, you can almost return to the capital!" ”

Qi Long was happy when he saw Lu Huan'er, and he was also happy for her: "Miss her!" ”

"Well, the main thing is that I am worried that the first time I went far away, I did so many big things, this time, Chunxiang also brought back Hu Nan's caravan, and the medicinal materials along the way will also be brought back to the capital!"

"Now, your Materia Medica Hall is going to be the first in the capital!"

"I don't dare to say it first, the medicinal materials must be the best, Lord Wang, I have confidence!" As she spoke, Lu Huan'er clenched her little fists!

"By the way, Lord Wang, what happened to the Yabao reported by Guangxi City last time?" Lu Huan'er asked.

On the same day, he received a report sandwiched in Chunxiang's letter, and Lu Huan'er handed it over to Qi Long as soon as possible, and Qi Long immediately sent a secret envoy to investigate the Chuzhou Prefecture Ya, where Guangxi City was located.

"Guess who the envoy of the state government is?" Qi Long sneered.

Lu Huan'er looked at Qi Long's expression. I know that this person must be an acquaintance and an opponent!

"Could it be Prime Minister Zhao's people?" Lu Huan'er was also surprised that things were so coincidental!

"You're right, it's the nephew of Prime Minister Zhao's wife, whose name is Yi Guo!"

Lu Huan'er doesn't have to think about it, she knows that the officials and officials here protect each other!

"Lord Wang, what are your plans?" Lu Huan'er asked.

"The secret envoy has just come back, wait for me to sort out the secret report, and I need to talk to the emperor!"

Lu Huan'er suddenly had a bad premonition: "Will he listen?" ”

Qi Long was also helpless: "Listen or not, I have to present this matter!" Including the plague in Guangxi City, there is no excerpt mentioning this matter so far! ”

Lu Huan'er suddenly felt sad, if it wasn't for Chunxiang going to Hunan, she would never know what happened in the outside world.

Not only do they not know, but as long as the state government and the yamen keep their mouths shut, no one knows what is actually happening and what the system is being implemented.

Even if the disaster relief is intercepted, it is impossible to make statistics.

Suddenly feeling powerless, Lu Huan'er sighed deeply.

Qi Long went to Qi Ning in the evening with the report, and this was the third time in six years that he had entered the imperial study.

Qi Ning knew that Qi Long was coming, and although he didn't know anything, he was still ready to accept him sincerely!

Qi Long entered the study and hinted that Qi Ning had retired as an internal eunuch, and then took out Liu Yongming's report.

When Qi Ning saw Qi Long persuade the eunuch to retire, he knew that this matter was not trivial, and when he closed the door, the interaction between the brothers also made Qi Ning's heart suddenly warm!

After opening the yabao and reading it, Qi Ning clenched his fists:

"Why hasn't anyone reported what happened in Guangxi City?"

Qi Long said: "Your Majesty, this matter of Guangxi City is Lu Huan'er's maid Chunxiang, who went to Huanan with Prince Hu Nan to purchase herbs, and then passed through Guangxi City, if it weren't for this, I'm afraid the ministers wouldn't know!" ”

"That Yi Guo is so bold! How did he escape going to Beijing every year to report on his work? Qi Ning couldn't help but be angry!

Qi Long bowed his head slightly, and said softly: "The emperor doesn't know, the ministry has always been in the hands of the prime minister, and the power is very ......."

Qi Ning didn't need Qi Long to say it, so Zhao Ziyin was already 50,000 taels of silver when he opened his mouth now!

Qi Long continued: "The Ministry of Officials is the foundation of officials, if the Ministry of Officials has always been Prime Minister Zhao in power, I'm afraid~"

Qi Ning also knew that the prime minister's power was too great, and he only wanted to be an emperor who didn't worry about it before, so he let the prime minister come to power.

Since Qi Luo died, he had an epiphany, he was the emperor, and only Qi Long helped him, why did he let Prime Minister Zhao do whatever he wanted?

Qi Ning looked at Qi Long: "What does the imperial brother mean~ What should I do as a brother?" ”

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Zhao has too deep roots in the court, Daqi has six state offices, after the ministers and brothers checked, the officials are his protégés and relatives, Daqi's current official appointments, in addition to the officials report to the emperor's several important positions, there are many small official positions, all of which spend money to buy officials in the ministry. Even in last year's imperial examination, the top three were suspected of fraud! ”

Qi Ning slapped the table: "How can this be reasonable!" Simply~"

Qi Ning just wanted to say that he deceived people too much, but after thinking about it again, he didn't cause it himself?

Thinking of this, I suddenly felt depressed, was I not suitable for the emperor?

Qi Long saw that his emotions were repeated, and said: "Your Majesty, the officials should be directly in charge of the emperor himself, and the emperor must personally look at the appointment of officials above the second grade!" ”

Hearing Qi Long say this, Qi Ning really felt empty-hearted, thinking about what he had done for Daqi all these years without asking?

Qi Ning shook his head and nodded again: "Tomorrow morning, I will publish this Liu Yongming's newspaper to see what they have to say!" ”

Qi Long hurriedly stopped: "Your Majesty, no, that Liu Yongming is a good official who loves the people, but his official position is low, and he is so fanfare, but it puts him in danger, if Yi Guo knows that Liu Yongming has revealed the matter, he will be killed!" ”

Qi Ning sat down in his chair: "How is this good?" ”

"From this point of view, isn't half of this Da Qi surnamed Zhao?"

Qi Ning rubbed his eyebrows with his hand to himself, miserable!

"The emperor doesn't have to be anxious, the right must be taken back little by little!" Qi Long said softly:

"Tomorrow, the emperor can let the officials of the ministry take the initiative to report on their work, and the officials above the fourth grade, no matter what position they occupy, they need to hand it in within two days! Officials who are not in the capital will be sent to the capital within four days, and they are not allowed to be handed in in a centralized manner. ”

"Good way!" Qi Ning suddenly came to the spirit! "That's it!"

Suddenly remembering something, Qi Ning asked: "Once you asked the emperor a question, how do you know if you are a loyal minister or a traitor around you, but the emperor's answer is not right, I have always been very confused about this question......"

Qi Long smiled: "The emperor doesn't have to worry, I mean that Pan'er doesn't have to be in a hurry to characterize a person, loyal ministers, there will be times when they do wrong things, traitorous ministers, and they may not be evil in everything!." ”

Qi Ning was fascinated by it, and he was also savoring Qi Long's words.

"What the emperor wants to do is to balance the relationship, and firmly establish what he wants to do for the people, for the country, and for future generations.

Seeing that Qi Ning was listening carefully, Qi Long continued:

"As long as the emperor is firmly committed to the good of the country, then he will naturally be able to distinguish who is a loyal minister and who is a traitor!"

Qi Ning nodded, officially examining his imperial position for the first time!

Qi Long walked out of the palace, and Zhao Ziyin received a tip-off that Qi Long stayed in the imperial study for a whole hour.

Zhao Ziyin stroked his beard and squinted in thought.

Since returning from the spring hunt, the relationship between Qi Ning and Qi Long has undergone subtle changes.

Except for Qi Luo's death, nothing special happened in Spring Hunting, so how did these two people become different?

Zhao Ziyin's mind kept changing scenes, pondering the relationship between Qi Long and Qi Ning.

Today, Qi Long actually stayed in the imperial study for a whole hour, and the information in the palace didn't ask for any clues, could it be that Qi Ning has changed?

Hmph, I don't believe he will change, and when the next court meets him tomorrow, forgive him and he won't be able to make any waves.

But ~ Qi Long and Qi Ning are close, it's not a good thing!

Zhao Ziyin was lying on the Taishi chair, playing with the Khotanese mutton fat white jade that he had only found yesterday, and his heart turned a thousand times.
