Chapter 256: The Imperial Complaint

It is not the first time Chang Gon has faced a saint, but when he recalls the last time he met a saint, it was nine years ago, and his mood inevitably fluctuates and he is excited.

His eyes were full of water, and when he entered the door, he saluted Emperor Yonghui first with full etiquette, and shouted three long live.

Emperor Yonghui smiled and said: "Excuse me, your matter, the eldest princess of Jiujiang has told me, and I have also read the file." It's just that these are your family's words, human and material evidence, but I'm afraid it's also very untenable. After all, none of these people are the person who has the same ability as you said, and they have nothing to do with it, so it is natural to check it slowly. Now tell me how you found the gold mine. ”

Chang Gon deserves to repeat what Fang just said in the White Horse Temple in more detail with Emperor Yonghui. After that, he sighed for a long time, and emphasized to Emperor Yonghui: "The micro-ministers are weak and weak, and they can't bring these people to justice one by one. That's why I came to Luoyang to sue the royal court. However, Weichen did not startle the snake this time. Instead, he put all those people back, and after the minister left, he got the news that the mine was going to continue to open there. If Your Majesty wants to find out, send someone right now, and perhaps, the person behind the curtain will soon be brought to justice. ”

Emperor Yonghui was very surprised, and asked Chang Gon rhetorically: "You noticed that they are still continuing to open gold mines privately, and they don't want to avoid the limelight?" ”

Chang Gon was also very confused about what happened during this period, shook his head, smiled ashamedly, and explained to Emperor Yonghui with his own guess: "Cao Cao, the official in the palace, once came to Muping County to ask for people, and Weichen's subordinate county officials secretly colluded with that official Cao, not only wanting to pretend to be Cao's people, but also to take the workers away. also wanted to use the county to deceive the files and evidence in Weichen's hands. Wei Chen's heart was crossed, so he simply pretended to be explained by the official Cao, released the people, and let these people go back to mining again. ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she laughed out loud and sighed: "This little county order is still a clever person, who knows how to repair the plank road in the bright and Chen Cang in the dark. It's just that you arrested the county under your hand and brought two overseers out of Muping County, haven't you alarmed the 'man with hands and eyes to the sky' you said so far? ”

Chang Gon knelt on the ground in an orderly manner, and respectfully replied to the Queen Mother's words: "Weichen doesn't know, it's just that Weichen entered Luoyang safely and safely all the way, and was not chased and intercepted by others. ”

The Queen Mother looked at Emperor Yonghui with a smile and nodded, and said approvingly: "Emperor, the mourning family has not seen such an interesting county order for a long time. Regardless of his official position and net worth and life, he is so selfless that he is so selfless. The Queen Mother said, turned her head to look at Yang Qiqi again, and asked her, "Look, is this interesting for Chang Daren?" ”

Yang Qiqi smiled with the Queen Mother, and said softly: "Back to the Queen Mother, this Chang Daren is loyal to the country, which is really worthy of admiration." But what Qiqi admires the most is his perseverance in pursuing a thief who escaped from Muping County all the way to Luoyang. The place where the gold mine is located has already left Muping County! Yang Qiqi glanced at Chang Gon with a smile, and asked him respectfully: "Why did Master Chang spare no effort to chase him so far?" ”

Chang Gon couldn't see the intention of Yang Qiqi's words, but he could see that this slim and beautiful little girl was very appreciated and liked by the Queen Mother.

"The reason why Wechen is so persistent with this thief is because for eight or nine years, Muping County under Wechen's rule has no thieves and no thieves, no doors are closed at night, and no roads are left behind." Chang Gon said this without hesitation.

When the eldest princess Wanchun heard this, she laughed out loud in surprise and said, "This is fresh, it's the first time I've heard the order of a county, saying that I rule a piece of peace." ”

The eldest princess of Jiujiang also smiled and said, "It's not!" Changxian Lingdon't be a princess selling melons, sell yourself and boast! ”

Chang Gon bowed down and asked very calmly: "If the queen mother, the emperor and several princesses don't believe it, but you can ask the lord of the ministry to test the merits, and the minister's achievements in previous years are clear at a glance!" Moreover, His Majesty can also send someone to Muping County to inquire about one or two! ”

Emperor Yonghui was said by Chang Gon, and he became more and more interested. Immediately let people go to the head of the Propaganda Department and the head of the Examination Division.

During this period, he naturally asked some doubts about Chang Gon's discovery of the illegal mining, and Chang Gon clearly repeated his calculations to Emperor Yonghui. Not long after, Wei Dongchen, the secretary of the ministry, led the head of the Gong Examination Division to arrive.

The two were summoned by the emperor, so they naturally brought the book of the official examination over the years. Hearing that Emperor Yonghui wanted to see this, the two of them immediately went to find it with a few subordinates who were examining merit. There are many officials in Dayan, and the good and bad deeds of each year are recorded.

Emperor Yonghui looked at these books one by one, and sure enough, he saw a blank record about the Changgon Muping County Criminal Prison. Since Changgon took office, it has been like this almost every year.

Emperor Yonghui obviously couldn't come back to his senses, he couldn't figure out how Chang Gon managed to do it for ten years and make Muping County so peaceful.

The Queen Mother casually took the file book in the emperor's hand, and after reading it, she couldn't help but sigh slightly, looked at Wei Dongchen unhappily and asked, "How can such a talent be covered with dust?" What do you officials do to eat all day? ”

Wei Dongchen and the others saw that the Queen Mother was angry, and they knelt on the ground one after another, and cautiously replied: "Although there is no prison in this Muping County, the Chang County Order does not have much merit. Officials should also look at merit when they evaluate their merits, this is the rule......"

When the Queen Mother heard this, her eyebrows frowned even tighter, and she didn't speak to Wei Dongchen at all, but said to Emperor Yonghui: "The promotion of officials is closely related to the Great Yan Imperial Court, and it is also closely related to how the emperor can better govern the country. With so many people who are conformist and inflexible, they are taking the merit test, and I am afraid that there are countless talents like Chang Gon in the court, and they will be covered with dust! Their elm heads can't even figure this out! The Queen Mother said, raising her voice to Wei Dongchen and the others: "Chang Gon's greatest achievement is that Muping County does not close his door at night. It is a merit to enable the people to live and work in peace and contentment under his rule. And not how many unjust prisons have been solved! If something bad happens and then deal with it, how can we prevent it from happening? ”

Emperor Yonghui nodded respectfully to the Queen Mother, and said yes again and again, "Erchen will specially let people check and pick out people like Chang Gong from all over Dayan." "There is no need to say this deeply, everyone here can understand that the emperor is planning to reuse Chang Gon!

Chang Gon was also very excited in his heart, and unconsciously set his eyes on Yang Qiqi, who had a light face. But this girl, what is the expression just now, and what is the expression now. Chang Gon faintly felt that she was willing to help herself, but now looking at her, she was very uncertain.

Later, Emperor Yonghui asked Chang Gon to go to the Guanfeng Hall with him, wanting to ask him how he governed Muping County.

Yang Qiqi is Da'an in his heart. The emperor's behavior is to believe in Chang Gon very much. This is equivalent to drawing an invisible line on the matter of private mining, and Emperor Yonghui and the Queen Mother have clearly stood on Chang Gon's side. Then the rest of the matter, she just has to wait for the East Window incident to happen!

Chang Gon's appearance, Li and Murong Shi didn't know, it was Li Guifei who got the news first.

There have always been no secrets in the Forbidden Palace, such as Li Guifei, the queen and other people who have heard from the sky. Naturally, he quickly learned about what happened in the Huacheng Courtyard, after all, the Queen Mother and the Emperor did not deliberately avoid concealing such a thing. An eldest princess and two eldest princesses brought back an inexplicable person from outside the palace, which is naturally eye-catching.

When Li Guifei heard the words "privately open a gold mine", her heart was cold. But he didn't dare to enter the door immediately, and at this juncture, it was too eye-catching to do anything. After thinking about it, Concubine Li had to ask someone to quietly bring a message to Murong Zhao and ask him to enter the palace quickly.

As a result, Li Guifei's letter when she met Murong didn't know until Murong Shi at night, but this time was already locked, and it was difficult to enter the palace gate. On the second day, Murong Shi rushed into the palace before the early dynasty to greet Concubine Li Guifei.

Li Guifei never slept well all night, and now she is a crow. Hearing Murong Shi's greetings, he immediately ordered people to retreat left and right, leaving only Murong Shi and his confidant Mingchun to talk in the house.

"Yesterday, I heard that the eldest princess of Jiujiang brought back someone from outside the palace and came into the palace to sue the royal court, suing someone for privately opening a gold mine! My eyelids have been jumping so hard in the past two days, this person can't be us, right? ”

Murong Shi was stunned, his expression became extremely serious, and he said, "Is what the mother concubine said serious?" These days, Erchen has never heard any news. ”

Li Guifei sat up straight nervously, frowned again and again, and said, "Why shouldn't it be true!" That man had seen your father in the temple yesterday, and he was left in the temple of the wind that day, and he stayed until late. before being released from the palace! ”

Although Murong Shi didn't interfere in the matter of opening the mine, he also paid close attention to it. Li Guifei said this suddenly, but he didn't think that anything could be hidden from his eyes.

"Don't worry, the concubine, I've asked people to take care of it before. But if there is any news over there, or if there is any difference, we will receive the news as soon as possible. Erchen asked people to go back and inquire, maybe they were mistaken! ”

Concubine Li nodded nervously, and repeatedly told Murong Shi to be cautious, and then let Murong Shi go to the court.

Chang Gon's sudden arrival, in addition to making Concubine Li Guifei frightened, also made another person extremely nervous, this is naturally the queen.

The crown prince opened a gold mine privately, and the queen also knew a thing or two. Coincidentally, the news that I came back from the Huacheng Courtyard was that I heard that someone had opened a gold mine privately and had been sued. But the queen really doesn't know anything about the content of the conversation. She naturally sat down on the prince's body, and immediately sent a message to Chang'an.
