Chapter 919: Means
Qin Yining laughed out loud at his tone, "If it's really hot tea, I'm afraid it will burn people." ”
"You feel sorry for him?" He hummed unhappily.
"I'm afraid that it will get out of control and damage my reputation if it spreads."
Xiao Xiao naturally knew that Qin Yining was acting in a measured manner, not only for her reputation, but also because she didn't want to make extraneous troubles and tear her face with the Lumen family at an inappropriate time. But he held it in the palm of his hand for fear of falling, and held it in his mouth for fear of melting, so he called someone to bully him after only going out for a day, and it was still Zhongyibo and his wife who joined forces to bully.
"I don't think those women are easy to do, and I don't know if they are deliberate when they speak, and they are in charge of things. Where is there such an open-mouthed woman who is so virtuous? That's still the head mother of some noble families. ”
Xiao Xiao looked down on the ladies who were here today, and said something unpleasant, these women only talked about others behind their backs, but they didn't want others to be criticized for this, and they would not be responsible for their own words.
Especially the woman who deliberately mentioned the incident of the Queen Mother matching Lu Heng and Qin Yining, she was simply uneasy and kind, and deliberately led the topic in that direction.
Xiao Fang subconsciously wondered if there was anyone who didn't deal with him, so he framed Qin Yining. But after thinking about it, sometimes the hostility between women often comes from jealousy, and it is not known whether someone is jealous of the beauty of his sister's child.
Xiao Xiao's big hand hugged Qin Yining tighter, "Regardless of them, in short, let's have less dealings with those long-tongued women in the future, so as not to make you angry." ”
"Got it!" Qin Yining hugged Xiao Xiao's neck and buried his face in his neck socket, "Okay, even if this matter is over, it has nothing to do with us, so you don't have to take it to heart." ”
"That's not going to work." Qin Yining lowered his head and kissed Qin Yining's forehead, "I think the surname Lu is clearly a thief, he bullied my daughter-in-law, is it okay to have a cup of herbal tea?" Leave it alone, I've got something to think about. ”
A jealous man simply can't be provoked.
"Okay, okay, everything depends on you, I don't interfere." Qin Yining's voice was soft, and he covered his mouth and yawned, "Talking to those people who don't know each other for a day is even more tiring than fighting with people." ”
When Xiao Xiao heard this, his big hand rubbed her shoulders and neck, and the tentacles didn't touch a few taels of flesh, a layer of skin and bones.
"Okay, I'll ask them to prepare milk bird's nest for you, you eat a bowl, and we'll go to sleep." Xiao Xiao said with pity, "I promise not to toss you tonight." ”
The first half of the sentence is fine, but in the second half it starts to be indecent again.
Qin Yining slapped the owl, laughed and shook her in his arms.
With such a big baby, he didn't know how to hurt her.
After a good night's sleep, the next day Qin Yining and Xiao Xiao were "recuperating" at home as usual, and gradually began to thank not many visitors.
Xiao Xiao secretly went out of the door, and Qin Yining didn't ask what he was going out for.
"Princess, princess." In the evening, Bingtang said excitedly, "Do you know, yesterday, Mrs. Zhongyibo followed Zhongyibo into the palace to thank her, but she made a big fuss in Ci'an Palace, and the queen mother was disturbed." ”
"Really?" Qin Yining was making Brother Zhao'er's little clothes, and said with interest when she heard this, "Her temper is afraid that she will suffer when she arrives in the palace." ”
"Why?" Bingtang lowered his voice and said, "It is said that Mrs. Zhongyibo went to complain, saying that Zhongyibo humiliated her, and the two of them didn't take off their wedding clothes on the wedding night. ”
"You can hear about this?" Qin Yining was surprised.
Bingtang said suddenly: "I didn't say it alone, the woman who went out to buy it today came back and said that it was spread all over the capital." ”
Jiyun came in with a box, and was hearing what Bingtang said, "But isn't it, princess, don't you know that a big man from a family like Zhongyibo is so easy to continue, but it's such a person, and now many people are talking about it outside." It is said that the people of Zhongyi Bofu were pungent and rude, and they collided with the Queen Mother and the Queen, and later alarmed the Holy Lord, who reprimanded Mrs. Zhongyi Bo, and even the favored Zhuang Concubine was eaten and hung up, and was almost demoted to Zhaoyi. ”
"Tsk, if I were a concubine, I wouldn't choose such a cousin even if I married someone." Rock Candy smacked his tongue, "Isn't this a provocation for yourself?" ”
"Concubine Zhuang Xu is also a weak character, right? I heard that if it weren't for Concubine Zhuang's weak and delicate nature, and she was an indisputable person in the world, the Bian family would have lost a lot of ugliness. ”
Qin Yining listened to the chatter of the two girls, remembered Bian Ruohan's appearance, and couldn't help but shake his head.
Life is too rich, and parents and elders are doting, so they can spoil such a girl.
But this is also to blame the parents, there are more parents who love their children in the world, and not every child is crooked like Bian Ruohan.
Qin Yining shook her head, she didn't take this matter to heart.
Xiao Xiao did not mention the matter again, but continued to recuperate from illness and left the court.
After two more days, there was another laugh in Bian's house, and it was said that Bian was punished for kneeling in the ancestral hall when he returned home, and he didn't eat anything. Uncle Zhongyi also went back after sitting for a while, leaving Bian at his mother's house, and never staying at his father-in-law's house to eat.
The rumors of such a discordant scene caused by a big wedding are too great to overshadow many versions of the gossip on the wedding day.
Now that Uncle Zhongyi has married an unruly shrew, the women and children who have made trouble are all known.
Because there were rumors that the saint mistreated the heroes and bullied the heroes, now it is not just a loyal prince who is mistreated by the saint.
There are a lot of people talking about it.
"The relatives of the loyal and righteous uncles are matched by the saints. The saint matches, no matter what kind of woman she is, it's not easy for the courtiers to refuse, right? ”
"So the patriarch of a big family like the Lumen family, who has a title on his body, actually took such a shrew."
"Is this also ......?"
Some people dare not say more, but everyone understands that this matter is easily associated with the mistreatment that Prince Zhongshun received when he returned to the city.
It can be seen that the saint's mistreatment of his courtiers is not accidental.
"It is said that Prince Zhongshun is still recuperating miserably in the palace, and the Holy Lord has never arranged an official position for Prince Zhongshun."
"What about arranging official positions? It's good not to be impeached. It's only been a few days, and I don't know when there will be another basin to buckle up. ”
The person who spoke sighed.
This kind of speech is not everywhere in the city, and people are saying it almost everywhere.
Li Qitian soon got the news.
"Holy Lord, what the minister said is true, and those ignorant grass people outside are indeed such rumors. As a speech official, it is the duty of a minister to return the facts to the saints. In the imperial study, a middle-aged official knelt on the ground and said righteously.
Li Qitian naturally trusts him, this person is his confidant, and he has been very stable in his affairs for many years, although he has not made steady progress, he can be promoted step by step in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and it is really his own ability.
"Liu Qing is flat."
"Thank you." Liu Yushi stood up, looked upright, and continued without looking at Li Qitian's face, "The minister still has something to enlighten the saint." ”
Li Qitian rubbed his forehead, "Speak." ”
Liu Yushi said, "The minister found out that Zhongyi Bo privately sold the official mantle below to fill his own pockets. The officials who buy and sell it clearly mark the price, and there are even times when the highest bidder wins. For example, Lord Qinchalu, who had previously arranged to go to the old capital of Dayan, was the official position sold by Zhongyibo. ”
One sentence is like thunder, and the real explosion is earth-shattering.
For a while, the quiet needle drop in the imperial study could be heard, Xiong Jinshui and several small chamberlains listened to such an inside story, and they didn't dare to make a loud noise when they were scared, and quietly hid in the corner, for fear of being noticed by the saint.
Liu Yushi, who had ordered a cannon battle, was still standing like a pine tree.
Li Qitian's brain jumped and hurt, "Impossible." Lu Tingzhong is the person I personally arranged, Lu Heng has great ability, can he still make me obey him? Not to mention this one Qin cha, let's just say that the official positions of this dynasty, the appointment, performance appraisal and promotion of officials above the county level have all been approved by me personally, and you said that the Lu family sells officials. Could it be that he poured me ecstasy soup to get me to agree? ”
"Holy Lord, the minister didn't mean that, but it is an indisputable fact that the Lu family sold officials. There are people in the Lu family who deceive the saint, and there are also people who deliberately guide the saint, so that they can successfully profit from it. ”
Liu Yushi thought for a while, and then said, "The minister will give a real example. A few days ago, there was a merchant in the south who wanted a reliable official to take care of him in order to prosper his business, but the local magistrate was tough, so he came up with a way to buy a local chincha. Then you can run amok.
"This merchant asked for the Lu family, and the Lu family completed the Qin errand, but who knew that the merchant refused to pay the Lu family the promised revenge, and it is said that he did not give the Lu family a penny, and ordered people to eat and drink for nothing in the Lu family for a while.
The Lu family did something, but they couldn't get the money, and in a fit of anger, they tossed the merchant and closed it. The minister dared to say bluntly in front of the saint today that the Lu family sold a chincha, which is the position of Lord Lu, but they did not get the revenge of the merchants, and it is not enough to destroy the merchants, they must be unwilling, and they must be willing to take back the position of the qincha. ”
Li Qitian's brows tightened when he heard this, "You mean that the Lu family will sway me and let me replace Lu Tingzhong?" ”
Liu Yushi said: "Yes or no, the saint will slowly know." ”
Li Qitian knew that Liu Yushi was not a man of false promises, so he was a little suspicious at this time.
At the beginning of April, I caught up with the official political examination. Coincidentally, someone in the ministry happened to go to Li Qitian, saying that the inspection of Lu Tingzhong, who was sent to the south to inspect the people's situation, should have been completed, and it could be transferred back to its original place.
In the past, the appointment and dismissal of many officials were approved by Li Qitian himself.
As soon as he saw this excerpt today, thinking of Liu Yushi's words, Li Qitian's brows furrowed.
