Chapter Seventy-Two: Secretly Promoting
When a few people came out of the secret room of Kou Yunwu's study, the sky was already slightly white.
Kou Shu raised her feet and was about to leave, only to hear Curzon stop herself behind her: "Miss-"
Kou Shu looked back at Curzon with some suspicion.
Curzon knelt down on one knee and said; "The master is dead now, and the eldest lady is my master, and I have seen the master."
Frowning slightly, he looked at Yuan Ming, but Yuan Ming's face showed a proud look, and said: "Niangniang, rest assured, Kou Mang has been loyal to the head of the Kou family for generations, not to mention that General Kou has recreated us with kindness, and now that General Kou's death is unknown, we will never sit idly by." There is no one in my Kou Mang who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and when he goes to the soup and fire, the master can give an order. ”
Curzon looked up, and his eyes revealed a different kind of firmness and determination.
Kou Shu was speechless in her heart, she didn't expect her father to cultivate such an excellent team in the dark, nodded, and said: "Since that's the case, you follow me, but the surname Kou is too eye-catching, and in the future, you and Yuan Ming and Yuan Yun will be renamed Yuan Song." ”
When Curzon heard this, he hugged his fists and said: "Yuan Song thanks the master for giving him the name, Yuan Song has seen the master." ”
Seeing this, Yuan Ming smiled and said, "On weekdays, we in Koumang don't have contact with each other, but now we have actually got acquainted. ”
Kou Shu smiled and nodded, and continued to Yuan Song: "Today we came to investigate, there are three clues now, the most important thing is to find out where the real heavenly box is now, and whether it is the arming map in the box that day, the secret door from the secret door, I suspect that most of it has something to do with the people around my father, you go and check it." If there is news in one of these three clues, this matter will be torn open."
Yuan Song was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect that just after coming out of the secret room, Kou Shu thought about it so carefully, peeled off the cocoon, and named all the key points of the incident clearly, and couldn't help but revere this new master for three points, nodded and said, "Yuan Song obeys." ”
Kou Shu continued: "In the future, you will contact Yuan Ming, and you will pass on any news to him. Kou Shu gave a few more orders, and when she returned to the palace with Yuan Ming, the sky was already dark.
Back in the palace, Kou Shu, who had not rested all night, went to the imperial study. The stakes were high for last night's investigation, and if it was really the loss of the border map, it would be to expose one's heart directly under the enemy's sword.
Who knew that when he walked to the door, he was blocked by Su Peiyuan: "Queen Mother, the emperor is discussing inside, and now no one can go in." ”
Kou Shu frowned: "Father-in-law Su, please spread the word and say that I have something extremely important to report." ”
Su Peiyuan shook his head: "Queen Mother, the emperor said that you can't go in for anything." ”
Kou Shu was stunned, her brows furrowed deeply, and she sighed slightly and turned away.
Seeing Kou Shu leaving, Su Peiyuan flashed into the imperial study lightly: "Your Majesty, the queen mother is gone." ”
"Hmm." Song Jinyan was holding a red sandalwood wolf pen in his hand, and he was practicing calligraphy in the dragon flying phoenix dance, and the pen was collected in one go, and after writing a word, Song Jinyan said slowly: "I went to Koufu one night and hurriedly ran over, thinking that I found something." ”
Su Peiyuan hung his head and didn't say a word.
"I just told her a few days ago that Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, and now the wind is loud, the grass and trees are all soldiers, and the palace is up and down, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at her. But she still has to come to the imperial study camp to report, don't you think she is not eye-catching enough? ”
When Su Peiyuan heard this, he said in a slow voice: "The emperor is angry, and the queen is also for the country's social welfare." ”
Song Jinyan's tone slowed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Yan Yi-"
A figure fell in front of Song Jinyan like a ghost: "Master." ”
"The people around the queen, have you found out?"
Yan Yi lowered his head, there was a hint of shame in his expression, and said: "Back to the emperor, the footwork and body shape of these people are all extremely rare schools, and we haven't found them for the time being." ”
Song Jinyan raised his head slightly and said, "Sui Yuanzhou, how is it?" ”
Yan nodded a little and said: "Lord Sui has now entered the Yanzhou Mansion, and it seems that the fight with the Yanzhou Prefect is hot. ”
"Yanzhou?" Song Jinyan frowned, Yanzhou has been a piece of his own heart for many years, originally Yanzhou had to oppress the people, the bureaucratic style in the fish and meat township is traditional, let himself change several rounds of prefects, all of them were originally two sleeves to take office, soon after taking office, began to approach the ink black, for the tiger, completely do not take the well-being of the common people to heart.
After a pause, Song Jinyan asked, "What do you think about the matter in Yanzhou?" ”
Yan Yi bowed his head slightly, and said tentatively: "Your Majesty, the malaise of Yanzhou's style is a matter of years of addiction rather than overnight, and a serious illness still needs strong medicine, it is precisely because of Lord Sui's upright temperament that he may be able to resist the temptation. ”
Song Jinyan nodded: "Although Sui Yuanzhou has a bit of uprightness, he is still very shallow in his way of dealing with officials. I don't expect Sui Yuanzhou's medicine to cure Yanzhou's disease, as long as he makes Yanzhou's officialdom hear. ”
Yan nodded and did not speak.
Song Jinyan thought about it, but still raised his hand slightly, and said, "Su Peiyuan-"
Yan Yi reacted very quickly and dodged to the beams of the house, ordinary people felt that there was a flower in front of them, and they couldn't see that this was a figure at all.
Hearing this, Su Peiyuan pushed the door and entered: "Your Majesty, the slave is here." ”
"The secret order of the Emperor asked Sui Yuanzhou to secretly investigate the prefect of Yanzhou, focusing on whether there were any problems with Yanzhou's tax collection and grain collection, disaster relief funds and annual government expenditures in Yanzhou. If it is a critical moment, you can pass on my edict. ”
Su Peiyuan nodded in agreement, but he was stunned in his heart, the emperor's edict was like the presence of the saint in person, which was of great significance, and ordinary imperial histories rarely had such treatment. And verifying the official bank, finance, taxation and other extremely sensitive affairs, is the responsibility of the Ministry of Households, and now Sui Yuanzhou is a temporary post of the Ministry of Rites, and the emperor's intention seems to be to reuse this person.
Su Peiyuan's heart sank, and he said in his heart that this was a good thing, and he turned around and reported it to the queen, and he was indispensable for a reward.
Kou Shu was not much surprised when she heard Su Peiyuan's words. Although Sui Yuanzhou was born in the rivers and lakes, he has a rare heart to seek well-being for the country and the people. Originally, Kou Shu was still worried about her father's affairs without Sui Yuanzhou, and she would have enough spare strength, but now with Yuan Song, her heart is a lot more relaxed.
