Chapter 409: Corrupt Officials
Guo Ziqing, who was sitting at the bottom, answered the captain's question while listening to the conversation of the head of the head quietly. After listening to Guo Ziqing's description, Taiwei turned to the prime minister in the case and smiled and said: "You are really an unordinary apprentice, such a big matter of water control seems to be not a difficult thing in his mouth." ”
The prime minister stroked his beard and responded with a smile: "He knows what a speaker knows, but he is used to boasting." ”
Zheng Rong returned: "Hey, don't be modest, prime minister." Blue is better than blue, and having such a young man is the great fortune of the country. It's a pity that my granddaughter is still young, otherwise he would have been recruited as a grandson-in-law. ”
Although these words were compliments, they made Zhang Xun and Guo Ziqing not very easy to communicate, but Shen Rongzhi spoke up to relieve the two of them: "Taiwei is not anxious, the dog is also good, you can take a look at it in a few years, maybe you will change your mind." ”
Zheng Rong laughed: "The prince of Cheng Wang is outstanding, how can my daughter be matched?" The old man knew he had said the wrong thing. Cheng Wang should spare the old man. ”
Zheng Rong has never heard of the demon king of the mixed world of the Cheng Wang family, not to mention that the age is not a good match for his granddaughters, that is, he really wants to be worthy of the royal relatives and relatives, he would rather be worthy of the prince with an old face, than let the prince of the king be close to his own granddaughter.
Lan Jing'an, who was at the top, also noticed the conversation below, and whispered to Xiao Qingyun with a smile: "After this incident, it is estimated that Guo Ziqing will be more sought-after." ”
Xiao Qingyun was a little surprised: "You are very attentive to the people around you. ”
Lan Jingan quietly patted Xiao Qingyun under the case with his left hand: "I don't care about anyone compared to Brother Qingyun." Xiao Qingyun glanced at her: "Really hearty? Lan Jing'an put a piece of Xiao Qingyun's favorite crispy duck into his bowl and whispered, "It's more true than pearls." ”
Xiao Qingyun also sandwiched a piece of bacon for Lan Jing'an, lowered his voice and said quickly: "Then go back and let me touch your heart." ”
Lan Jing'an's face couldn't help but flush, leaned slightly, and spit out four words: "It's not serious." After speaking, she sat upright again, so that people couldn't see the small movements between her and Xiao Qingyun at all.
No matter how well the first two people covered it up, the tenderness and sweetness that came and went still fell into the eyes of those who cared. The next few people have different thoughts, but they all turn their heads to enjoy the autumn scenery outside the stage.
After finishing the meal, Xiao Qingyun knew that the prime minister and the lieutenant were not young and used to taking naps, so he specially arranged for someone to serve the two of them to go to the Longevity Hall to rest. As for Liu Cong, Xiao Qingyun sympathized with him for the first time on the stage, and he made a meritorious service today, so he allowed him to play in the stage and Cangchi, and then summoned him when the afternoon was in the afternoon. The rest of the people, both openly and secretly, were related to the emperor and queen, so the emperor and queen took them directly to the greenhouse hall.
As soon as he entered the greenhouse hall, Xiao Qingyun asked Guo Ziqing to describe the trip to Jiangnan to several people in detail. Even though Lan Jing'an had already heard it once, when he heard Guo Ziqing's story, the feeling of shock and anger still surged out again, not to mention the other three people in the hall.
After listening to this, Xiao Qingyun sneered and said to Bai Qingfeng: "Listen, we thought we were too careful before." If Ahri hadn't sent Xue Wei to follow him, he would have been in Yangzhou today. It's only been a few years, and everyone has such a fat guts. We are frugal here, and people's lives are very tight! ”
Bai Qingfeng was also furious in his heart. Han Jinming, an old horseman, betrayed the trust of the king in vain. If Guo Ziqing hadn't gone on this trip, who would have thought that after a few years of hard work, Yangzhou would be so smoky. The hard work of deceiving and concealing one by one is amazing, and you really regard the king as the emperor of Sui? ! He asked Xiao Qingyun with a calm face: "What does the king plan to do?" ”
Xiao Qingyun's face showed a hint of hideousness: "Naturally, it is going to be uprooted." Not killing is not enough to outrage the people! No matter how big an official he is, whether he is the founding prince or not, if he dares to make trouble under my hands, I will not let any of them go! ”
Lan Jing'an heard that Xiao Qingyun had even changed his claims, and knew that he was angry. hurriedly spoke out to convince him: "Okay, okay." It's not worth getting angry about these silverfish. Although it is easy not to behead the prince, Han Jinming has failed the people of Limin, and he deserves death. But let's be careful that he jumps off the wall. Since he dared to send people to chase and kill Ziqing all the way, who knows if he will rebel after learning of the Holy Will? ”
Shen Rongzhi nodded in agreement: "What His Highness said is true." I think it's better not to immediately announce Han Jinming's crimes, but to seize the time to mobilize the troops of Jingzhou, Xuzhou, and Jiaozhou to carry out control. After that, he asked Guo Ziqing again: "Guo Yilang, can you confirm whether Han Jingming has any contact with people in the DPRK and China?" ”
"Back to King Cheng, there is only one person, yes..." He was a little embarrassed when he said this, and glanced at Shen Rongzhi. Shen Rongzhi immediately understood, and there was some gnashing of teeth in his voice: "Is it the imperial history?" Which one is it? ”
Guo Ziqing could only bow his head and answer: "It's Cao Shi Yushi." Shen Rongzhi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, although Cao Lang was also his subordinate, but fortunately he was not Yu Shi Cheng or Yu Shi Zhongcheng. He bowed down and pleaded guilty to Xiao Qingyun: "It's all because I, the imperial historian, are not strict with the emperor, so I made such a big mistake, and I ask the king to punish him." ”
Xiao Qingyun waved his hand: "This matter has nothing to do with you." You have enough things to do on weekdays, and it is also the fault of the imperial historian to say that the supervision is not strict. After dealing with Han Jinming and the others, he will also have to be punished for a few months to make him remember the lesson. Shen Rongzhi thanked him and promised, thinking that when this matter passed, he must go back to educate and educate the people of Yushitai.
Bai Qingfeng only opened his mouth at this time and asked Guo Ziqing: "Which one is the imperial history of Cao Shi?" It's in charge of Yangzhou, right? Since he is the internal response of the court, then you returned to Yonghua safely, can he know? ”
Guo Ziqing replied loudly: "Yes." Cao Lang served the imperial history and was responsible for supervising the officials in Yangzhou. This trip back to the imperial capital, thanks to Xue Zhonglang's clever arrangement, Cao Shi Yushi should not know about it. And it is very likely that he did not know that Han Zhou Mu sent people to hunt me down. ”
Lan Jing'an raised his eyebrows and explained his previous arrangements to several other people: "Cao Lang's side, I have already ordered Feng Shen to be responsible for cutting off his contact with Yangzhou yesterday. Xue Wei's injury this time was worse than Ziqing, so I asked him to go back and recuperate for a while, and he didn't need to show up for the time being. ”
Xiao Qingyun saw that she had made the arrangements, and nodded to her with satisfaction: "Ahri, Cao Lang's side is up to you to watch." As he spoke, he asked Guo Ziqing again: "Ziqing, did you see others when you returned to Beijing and entered the palace this time?" ”
Guo Ziqing vaguely guessed what the emperor was thinking, and only sighed that her kindness this time was about to be disappointed again. No matter what he thought in his heart, he couldn't help but hesitate to reply: "The Prime Minister's Mansion, which the minister only returned to late yesterday night, entered the palace today and was led by Feng Zhijinwu, and he has never seen anyone else." ”
Xiao Qingyun was about to ask him to hide in the Prime Minister's Mansion for a while, when he saw Lan Jing'an whispering a few words in his ear. Xiao Qingyun shook his head and said resolutely: "The big thing is important. You can't be too careful. ”
