Chapter 422: The Choice of the Chincha
Emperor Duanhua was very thoughtful when he sent Qincha.
First of all, this candidate must be capable, otherwise he thought that the officials of Liaozhou were not talented enough, so he sent the Qin to preside over the overall situation, but in the end, the Qin sent to the local officials, which was a joke and lost the face of the court!
Secondly, you must be sensible.
This sensible, of course, means that the results found out must be in line with Emperor Duanhua's intentions.
β¦β¦ Because although Emperor Duanhua believed in this cousin very much in front of Jian Xubai, in fact, the emperor was still a little suspicious of Sanfang in his heart. Of course, the emperor doesn't mind that the third room of the Jian family has destroyed the second room, and he just wants to give an explanation to the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom: an explanation based on the maintenance of the third room!
But he certainly wouldn't say it explicitly, or even very clearly.
At this time, it is necessary for him to comprehend the holy will.
Third, this candidate must be able to convince the public!
After all, the discord between the second and third rooms of the Jian family is better known in the imperial capital than in Liaozhou - are they watching Jian Yiyu and Jian Xubai grow up in discord?
Especially when Jian Yiyu murdered his younger brother and missed the title, many of the nobles in the imperial capital know about it.
In this case, if Emperor Duanhua sent someone like Yuan Xuepei who was good friends with Jian Xubai to Liaozhou, no matter how beautiful Yuan Xuepei did things, it would inevitably lead to doubts.
Emperor Duanhua, who thought about it to no avail, had to go to Weiyang Palace to find Empress Wei to discuss the matter: "Xisu, who do you think I should send?" β
"What Your Majesty is worried about now is nothing more than the mustard between the Imperial Aunt of the Jin Kingdom and Ah Xu." Empress Wei thought for a while and said, "In that case, why don't you let Shou Chunbo go?" First, he is the half-brother of Yi Yu and Ah Xu's two cousins, but he gets along very well with the two cousins, and he has never been biased against anyone, this palm and the back of his hand are all meat, who can doubt that Shou Chunbo will not avenge his brother? β
"Second, Shouchun Bo is the emperor's aunt's son, what is there to say between this mother and son? When the time comes, the truth will be found out, and let him go and tell the imperial aunt, which will be more gentle. β
Emperor Duanhua groaned: "I'm afraid that Shou Chunbo is not good at investigating cases." β
It's not that he didn't think of his cousin, but although Shou Chunbo is very attentive to his errands, there are some things that you really can't solve with your heart. Especially such a big thing as Jian Yi's family suffering - since Da Rui Dingding, although there have been many dignitaries and dignitaries who have been killed in tragedy, those are all serious crimes, and then raid their families and destroy their families.
It seems that Jian Yiyu's situation is not because of a crime, but he suffered a disaster, and he also put his family into it, it is the first time at his identity level!
And Shou Chunbo, who has been unknown, it is difficult for the emperor to believe that he is capable enough to fulfill his trust.
"It's not just one Chincha." Empress Wei reminded, "Your Majesty will send another capable envoy as a deputy envoy to assist Shou Chunbo, isn't it?" β
Speaking of this, he paused, "Shou Chunbo's official position has not been touched for many years, first, he has always been low-key and honest, and he has never argued; Second, it is not good to move him without political achievements and no merit - if there is merit in this investigation, after returning, it is the right thing to reward meritorious deeds, and at that time, not only Shou Chunbo's family will be grateful for His Majesty's kindness, but also euphemistically comforted the imperial aunt of the Jin Kingdom, right? β
Emperor Duanhua suddenly stroking his palms and said: "It's still a pity to be smart and thoughtful!" β
"Your Majesty is concerned about chaos!" Empress Wei would not take credit for herself, and said gently, "You care too much about the imperial aunt of the Jin Kingdom and Ah Xu, but you will suffer from gains and losses in the selection of the Qincha!" β
"This envoy candidate, I have to think about it for me!" Hearing this, Emperor Duanhua simply asked, "Look at the top and bottom of this court, who is suitable to be this envoy?" β
Empress Wei muttered: "Your Majesty, let me tell you the truth, this envoy is not easy to find!" After all, I haven't heard that Shou Chunbo is good at judging cases, in case our cousin is not good at criminal cases, then the messenger who investigates the case will essentially have to be provoked by the deputy envoy! The question is, in the final discussion of meritorious deeds, how can the deputy envoy go beyond the main envoy? Therefore, this envoy is basically making wedding clothes for others! β
The queen sighed helplessly when she said this, "The most important thing is that the two Shangshu of the Criminal Department have been sent down one after another, and now the Criminal Department is ...... Although I'm in the deep palace and don't know the details of the previous dynasty, I think there should be some people withering, right? β
Ten years ago, Liu Zhenxi sold her husband's original daughter Song Yixiao to her bustard's mother because of her sister Song Liu's sister, and after the Wei family made a fuss, the Song family was forced to discuss with the Liu family because of the etiquette law, and the Liu family was immersed in the pig cage.
Later, Liu Zhenxi and Song Yuan were both impeached, and the latter resigned in the name of his adopted mother, Mrs. Pang, and retired to Gyeonggi until Gu Shao came to help; The former was demoted three levels in a row, from Shangshu to Shilang, but because of his extraordinary ability, the Criminal Department was actually presided over by him, and no new Shangshu was appointed.
But also because of Liu Zhenxi's talent, the top and bottom of the Criminal Department are basically his henchmen, so when he fell, it also involved the entire Criminal Department and almost changed blood - the tragedy of the Criminal Department is that the new Shangshu who came to power later was Lu Yicheng, who was ambushed for smallpox last year!
In this way, the two Shangshu are unlucky, and the crimes are not ordinary, how can anyone below be unaffected?
Today's criminal department says that it is withering, and that is real - because everyone thinks that this department is a bit unlucky, so of course they are trying to go around!
And without the support of the Criminal Department, a gathering place for investigation professionals, it is naturally more difficult to find an expert to help Shou Chunbo, and it must meet the three considerations of Emperor Duanhua.
After all, although Dali Temple and Jingzhao Mansion are not as unlucky as the Criminal Department, these two places have to look at the area of Gyeonggi, and it is not good to rashly take away the pillars.
But this is not difficult for Queen Wei - the queen said, "In my opinion, my cousin should be a good candidate!" β
"Cousin?" Emperor Duanhua was stunned, and then he realized that she was talking about Qiu Shuxia, and couldn't help frowning subconsciously: Qiu Shuxia was in the Xianjia Dynasty to compete for the crown, and she could be called the vanguard of the Yanzi faction and the standard-bearer of the Zhao Wang Party!
Relying on the protection of the only heir of the Empress Dowager's mother's family, I don't know how much suffering Emperor Duanhua has suffered!
Even Jian Xubai, who was very favored by the Empress Dowager, was scolded in public by him more than once - Emperor Duanhua naturally felt unhappy when he heard him.
At this moment, he couldn't help but say, "Why did Xi Su think of him?" After he resigned from the Ministry of Rites, didn't he stay at home all the time, raising flowers and planting grass all day long, thinking about teasing his grandson? Could it be that after so many idle days, you feel bored again? β
Immediately suspicious, "But he invited someone to speak to you?" β
"You don't know the temper of our cousin?" Empress Wei hurriedly said, "The imperial grandmother is still here, he has something to do to report to Qingxi Palace, why come to me?" β
Emperor Duanhua nodded, and asked suspiciously: "Then why did Xi Su think of him?" β
"First, Uncle Cousin has the ability." Empress Wei said this, although Emperor Duanhua's face was ugly, but he still nodded, if Qiu Shuxia is not capable, she will only rely on her elders and the relationship with the Empress Dowager to oppress people, and if she wins the prince, Emperor Duanhua will not be disgraced by him alone, "Second, Uncle Cousin's current situation, you just let him compete with Shou Chunbo, does he dare?" β
When the queen said this, she pursed her lips, "The main thing is, grandmother the emperor!" β
ββRecommending this candidate, in fact, is the same as recommending Shou Chunbo, not only considering them personally, but also giving them after. Countertop!
Emperor Duanhua hesitated: "But Qiu Shuxia ...... to Ah Xuan before"
Jane Xubai, don't hate this cousin too much!
"So the results he found out are the most convincing!" The queen said confidently, "After all, everyone in the court knows that just two years ago, my cousin never pretended to Ah Xu!" β
"That's what I'm worried about!" Emperor Duanhua frowned, "You also know that Qiu Shuxia went crazy before, and his father had a headache!" If he ignores it, or even declares his personal vendetta, won't it be more and more difficult to clean up? β
Empress Wei couldn't help but laugh when she heard this: "Your Majesty, why are you worried? If you are willing to let your cousin come out on an errand, the imperial grandmother must be very happy; The imperial grandmother is the one who raised Ah Xuan herself, how can she not feel sorry for Ah Xu? When the time comes, if your cousin is messing around, you don't need to say it, and the imperial grandmother won't be able to spare him! And if you do this, who inside and outside can not say that you repay grievances with virtue and be tolerant and generous? β
Qiu Shuxia is shameless? That's right, he doesn't want to die-Emperor Duanhua didn't deal with him well, that was because Emperor Xianjia was in charge and gave the prince a good deal in a relatively calm and gentle way.
And after coming to power, he killed his former political opponents, which also requires skills.
Emperor Duanhua thought that he couldn't control the scene, and there was the empress dowager here, so he could only endure it if he was not happy.
But this time, in the name of use, let Qiu Shuxia go to Shou Chunbo as a deputy, if he is not interested, the empress dowager will not be able to speak to him, at that time, what does the emperor want to do with Qiu Shuxia, who can say that the emperor is not?
When Emperor Duanhua heard this, his eyes gradually brightened, and he praised: "This idea is very good!" β
β¦β¦ After the emperor left, Shiwan came in to serve, puzzled: "Niangniang, you obviously know that Your Majesty doesn't like Qiu Shuxia, why not only did you take the initiative to recommend him, but also had a 'cousin', so you weren't afraid of annoying Your Majesty?" β
Empress Wei took the tea she handed over, took a sip, and said a little tiredly, "What do you know?" Are you willing to give the face to the surnamed Qiu? β
Seeing that Shi Wan was puzzled, the queen sighed and said, "It's not because when we were still in the East Palace earlier, we were arranged by the surnamed Qiu and didn't know that - the first emperor presided over the overall situation in a timely manner, and the eyeliner didn't have time to do anything, and the dust had already settled!" β
And this eyeliner is very loyal to Qiu Shuxia, even if King Zhao succeeds King Su, Qiu Shuxia invites herself, seeing that the new monarch ascends the throne, and the old lord is hopeless, she has been seriously lurking.
As a result, he lurked and really lurked out a result: he stopped a disaster for the prince, that is, when there was smallpox in Cuihua Mountain last year, everyone thought that only the second prince in the royal family suffered misfortune, in fact, the prince was almost passed on at that time, and the calculation against the prince was particularly obvious, but the prince was mixed with pox powder in the prince's personal sachet and wanted to bring it to the prince's bedroom!
I didn't want to be seen through that eyeliner.
The eyeliner happened to bloom when I was young, so even though I found the acne powder up close, nothing happened. He privately changed the sachet for no problem, and then quietly contacted Qiu Shuxia, told the master what had happened, and asked for a show.
After thinking about it, Qiu Shuxia didn't alarm anyone, including his own aunt and queen mother, the empress dowager, and only managed to tell Empress Wei in private - so the queen can't help but return Qiu Shuxia a favor this time!
Thinking of this, Empress Wei's face was ugly: "I don't know who is the real culprit behind that smallpox?!" β
The so-called Jian Pingyu and Jian Likuang's father and son are the real murderers - this rhetoric specifically to fool Emperor Duanhua naturally can't fool Empress Wei. After all, how should Wei Xi return to the emperor when he went to investigate the case, or Empress Wei sent her sister Wei Yinlian to inform her mother's family.
The problem is that she can't tell Emperor Duanhua about this matter, because doing so will expose Gu Shao, although Emperor Duanhua will not treat Gu Shao because of Jian Pingyu's father and son, but in this way, Wei Xi obeys the queen's orders and can't hide the matter of deceiving Emperor Duanhua for Gu Shao, which is obviously very unfavorable to Empress Wei's impression and status in the eyes of Emperor Duanhua.
What's more, maybe Gu Shao, who had a good relationship with the queen, would also hate the queen.
Empress Wei considered it, and she didn't dare to take this risk.
However, whether it is out of love for her son or interests, it is impossible for Empress Wei to let go of the real culprit of smallpox.
She thought for a moment and ordered Shiwan: "You go and investigate, Concubine Nuan is under house arrest by His Majesty, and this time she was murdered...... What the hell is going on? β
