It has been nearly a hundred years since the founding of the country, and under the rule of Taizu and Chengzu, the affairs of various provinces and departments have long been operated in accordance with the legal calendar.

What made Emperor Jing extremely unacceptable was that there were officials from the two provinces who dared to take advantage of the war in such a form, whether this was not to take the legal calendar in his eyes, or not to take him as the emperor in his eyes!

"Zhang Aiqing, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

In the Wuying Palace, Emperor Jing threw the cabinet vote on the table, and swept his eyes over Gu Enyang and Qu Wenhai with a calm face, but it was Zhang Qianyuan who asked.

The two pieces were sent to the capital one after the other, with Gu Enyang in front of the crowd and Qu Wenhai in the back, the rest of them couldn't even stop it, so they could only watch as the music was handed over before the pen was sealed a year ago.

Zhang Qianyuan took a step forward, and his steps were extremely difficult, "Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the matter of the northwest should be considered in the long run. ”

If the governments of the northwestern provinces really secretly release money to the people, this will not appear in a day or two, and they cannot be easily judged just by a piece of music, and they must always send ministers to the northwest to investigate in detail.

It will take some time to come and go, and it will not be too difficult to have a good year.

That's what he thinks, and so do the others.

Only Gu Enyang has to fight for the future of his eldest grandson, and the situation between Qu Wenhai and Qu Qingyan is only clear to their ancestors and grandchildren, and in the eyes of others, Qu Qingyan is still his most proud eldest grandson.

So when Gu Enyang found him, he had to accept it for the sake of face.

As soon as Zhang Qianyuan's voice fell, Gu Enyang also took a step forward: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter should be thoroughly investigated, it has been a hundred years since the founding of the country, Taizu pays the most attention to rules and etiquette, and has repeatedly tried to revive Zhou Li, if Taizu is alive, he will definitely not tolerate such things in the northwest or other provinces." ”

Gu Enyang's words were a bit heavy, and Emperor Jing's face was just a little gloomy before, but now it was completely dark.

What is called Taizu will not be able to tolerate it in the world!

Does it mean that he is far less wise than Taizu, or is it that if he wants to suppress this matter, it is contrary to the policy of governing the country set by Taizu when he founded the country?

"How does Gu Aiqing think it should be thoroughly investigated?"

Emperor Jing's voice was mixed with a slight imperial anger, gloomy and cold.

Qu Wenhai hid behind his heart a little tightened, but Gu Enyang still had the same look as before, and said: "Your Majesty is heroic and wise, such as Taizu is alive, such a thing that is not integrated with laws and etiquette, every time the minister thinks of it, he feels that the livelihood of the people in the northwest is difficult, and His Majesty must be even more worried, so the minister thinks that this matter should be seriously investigated, and if this matter is serious, it must be dealt with strictly." ”

Only by strictly dealing with Gu Ruohong and Qu Qingyan can it be regarded as meaningful, and it can be regarded as discovering major hidden secrets in the northwest, and they can leave a strong mark on their personal resumes in the future.

He said sycophants with an expressionless face, completely blocking the suffocation in Emperor Jing's heart in his chest, and he couldn't go up or down.

Rejecting Gu Enyang's suggestion means that he does not recognize that he has the talent of Taizu, but since the day he ascended the throne, he has been aiming at Taizu and Chengzu, and he is trying his best to catch up.

Gu Enyang said everything to such a point, Qu Wenhai naturally wanted to come and pat himself at this time.

"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal. Your Majesty ruled the world in the Qingming Dynasty, and there was no weaker wind than Taizu Chengzu, and the ministers dared to guess that His Majesty must be intolerable in this matter, so I implore Your Majesty to strictly investigate this matter, so that the people in the northwest can also feel the grace of Haohaojun. ”

was praised by Gu Enyang and Qu Wenhai for having the style of an ancestor, even if Zhang Qianyuan and Qian Shuben were extremely disdainful of it in their hearts, how could they dare to let Emperor Jing see this disdain.

Zhang Qianyuan's sleeves moved slightly, and Qian Shuben behind him strode forward, "Your Majesty, the minister still thinks that the content written on these two notes is really contrary to common sense too much, although Gu Ruohong and Qu Qingyan are the first class in the undergraduate and have learned extraordinary, but the two of them have been in the office for a short time, and it is unknown whether they will be deceived by others. ”

His words were also a concern in Emperor Jing's heart, these two pieces were too coincidental, and the coincidence made him have to wonder if someone was designing some people and things behind it.

"Your Majesty, since this matter has been reported and exposed, and it is related to the livelihood and lives of tens of thousands of people in the northwest, it is absolutely impossible to discuss it in the long run. At that time, the truth will always be known. ”

Gu Ruohong's family letter also contained the private accounts of a county in Gansu Province for the previous year, and the matter was clearly laid out in front of him, and Gu Enyang was particularly confident in refuting it like this.

As long as it is an obstacle that blocks the path of his eldest grandson, he must kick it all away.

"Your Majesty, Qu Qingyan is the grandson of the minister, the grandson's heart is clear to the minister, he will not be easily deceived for his own selfishness, the minister believes that this sentence is true, and the minister hopes that His Majesty will send a messenger to investigate this matter."

The six ministers were automatically divided into three factions, and the secretary of the military department and the secretary of the ministry of work stood silent, as if all the matters in the palace had nothing to do with them.

Zhang Qianyuan and Qian Shuben did not agree to these two pieces from the beginning, but after Qu Wenhai was pulled up by them, they suppressed and restrained them everywhere, so that Qu Wenhai had long lost his gratitude to them.

Qu Wenhai and Gu Enyang, with a clear position, strongly demanded a strict investigation, and the atmosphere in the hall instantly became extremely tense.

"Your Majesty, the crown prince is asking to see you outside the palace."

"Xuan."

Zhu Jinyu rushed to enter the Wuying Hall at such a moment, and his intention was self-evident.

He did not hide his position, stood beside Zhang Qianyuan and said: "Father, the son thinks that the matter of the northwest is related to the national system and should be considered in the long run. If the officials in various places hand over such a report to expose the report, but indirectly deny the emperor's diligence and love for the people over the years? ”

Gu Enyang will use Mingjun's hat to button Emperor Jing's head one by one, Zhu Jinyu has been by Emperor Jing's side for many years, and was brought up by Emperor Jing, how can he not know the weakness in Emperor Jing's heart.

They each held Emperor Jing hostage with their words, only to make Emperor Jing in a dilemma.

Since Zhu Jinyu entered the door, Gu Enyang and Qu Wenhai knew that it would be difficult for today's matter to have a result.

Sure enough, Emperor Jing waved his hand, and said irritably and tiredly: "You all go down, I have to think again." ”

Everyone in the hall withdrew in turn, and in the corridor outside the hall, Zhu Jinyu swept Gu Enyang and Qu Wenhai with cold eyes.

"Lord Gu, Master Qu, why are you two so concerned about this matter in the northwest?"

Are you really concerned about the juniors in your own family, or is it because of the real master behind the northwest?

He asked this very heartily, where did Gu Enyang and Qu Wenhai dare to let the metaphor behind it fall on themselves, they were busy talking.

"It's just that the juniors in the family have privately written to mention this matter, and they have repeatedly affirmed that the northwest is the situation written in the song, and begged the two of us to beg for one or two in front of His Majesty, and the people of the northwest are forced to sell their sons and daughters by the money of the seal, which is too pitiful."

Really? Zhu Jinyu's cold face was full of ridicule, and Gu Enyang and Qu Wenhai felt that they were afraid that they had completely offended this prince today.

Qu Wenhai felt that this Qu Qingyan was really his debt, she patted her ass and followed Zhu Jinrui to the northwest, leaving a lot of messes for him, and he barely managed to get the family affairs of the Changbo Mansion with all his strength.

can not give a specific reason, he used Qu Qingyan to say that there are still three brothers who have not yet discussed the marriage to push this marriage, which has already caused Zhu Jinyu's dissatisfaction, and now it is like this......

Qu Wenhai's steps were a little stumbling when he left the palace.

Qu Qingyan handed over the music and consciously began to prepare for the New Year, whether it was in Shandong or Northwest, as soon as the New Year was reached, it was the busiest period of time in the county government.

On the days of the Spring Festival, she had to take people to the Taimiao Temple to beg for the coming year's wind and rain, and she also had to personally preside over various sacrificial activities.

Qianshan and Da'an's account books have begun to remember the appearance under her guidance several times, she thought about letting Qianshan follow the caravan to Jiangnan to enter a batch of Hangzhou silk to the northwest to sell, only near the end of the year, the bandits and bandits need silver two to go home for the New Year, she is not in a hurry at this time.

August 15 just returned to Beijing, this year Guan Jingdi did not think of letting Zhu Jinrui return to Beijing, but he had something in his heart so he let the wind blow in Empress Nie, Empress Nie only had him and Zhu Jinyu two princes, he arrived in the border city as a teenager and has always worried Empress Nie.

So the wind only blew once, and Queen Nie went to Wuying Hall with a heart, and let Emperor Jing send a will to pass on Zhu Jinrui to return to Beijing for the New Year.

"Young master, there is news from Chang'an City, the prince has already left for Beijing yesterday."

Under the instruction of Qu Qingyan, Qianshan would go to Chang'an City every two days to find out the news, and rushed back overnight after receiving the news of Zhu Jinrui's return to Beijing.

Zhu Jinrui would return to the capital was expected by Qu Qingyan, she put down the book in her hand and only said, "How many people did the prince take away?" ”

This question made Qianshan embarrassed, and he thought for a long time and could only reply: "Young master, the little one only inquired about the prince and rode out of Chang'an City quickly and did not take a carriage. ”

There is half a month and a half before the New Year, and if Ma Jinjing is not fast, he is afraid that he will catch up with the pen, and with Zhu Jinrui's impatient temperament, how can he tolerate such a thing.

"Okay, I see, you can go down and rest."

She just needs to find a time to sort out all the private accounts in Shouyang County in the previous years, order Qianshan and Da'an to copy a copy, and wait for the minister to hand it over obediently, and she doesn't have to do it, just wait for this matter to be promoted and leave the northwest.

She privately wanted to go back to Pingxian, the place where she had lived for nearly ten years.

Pingxian is not far from the capital, far away from the northwest and there is no war, and she is very familiar with the customs there, which is just right.

Of course, she also knew that she was thinking too well, although Zhu Jinrui agreed to her and would let her leave, but after all, it was a verbal promise, and if he repented, she had no choice.

Shouyang County's middle school should be set aside by Feng Dianshu, except for some activities and ceremonies that must be brought forward by the magistrate, she can't interfere with anything.

Not letting her touch the affairs of the county government is also in line with Qu Qingyan's original intention, the song is handed out from Shouyang County, and this will be the hardest hit area in the future, and everyone in the county government is afraid that no one will be able to save their heads.

It's too late for her to avoid suspicion now, so how would she be willing to go straight up.

"Young master, you want to be a candidate for marriage, Mama has been looking for you for two months, no matter how you look at it, I feel that this girl from the northwest is not worthy of you."

Mama Wang has been going out early and returning late every day for a while, and she just has to touch all the women of school age in this county.

Only in the end this is the northwest is not the capital nor Kaifeng, because of the climate and environment, the girls here are a little strong, and the skin is rougher than the girls in the capital and Kaifeng.

Not to mention that compared with the best products like Qu Qingyan, even the girls from small families in Pingxian and Kaifeng are not comparable.

Where is such a person worthy of Qu Qingyan?

The more Mama Wang looked at each other, the more she was worthless for Qu Qingyan, and she always thought in her heart that if Qu Qingyan was a real man, she would never have such a dilemma.

The ladies of the capital are also worthy.

"Mama, do you know what I got married for."

Mama Wang's words made Qu Qingyan couldn't help laughing, no matter what the woman's appearance was, what shape she was, she put it in the backyard, it was just an ornament, and she couldn't touch it.

In that case, why bother too much.

Having said that, Mama Wang naturally understands it, but if she looks at a girl who is not as good as Qu Qingyan, and then helps her 'marry' back, she always feels extremely difficult.

"Young master, did you really mention it to the old lady and the third lady? It's not suitable for us to handle family affairs in the northwest like this, right? ”

"I'm just asking you to look for it first, what are you anxious about?"

Qu Qingyan had already mentioned in the first letter sent to Beijing that he wanted to marry in the northwest, but at this time, Qu Wenhai was afraid that he didn't have the heart to care about this matter, so he didn't mention it in the reply.

"Young Master, this matter is not suitable for reason and reason, do you want to think about it carefully?"

"Where doesn't it fit?" Qu Qingyan was a little curious, she was not very clear about some details of this ancient etiquette.

"Young master, you are the champion master, and the old lady is the old man, your background is so high, I am afraid that if you are too wronged in marriage, you will not look good."

Although she is the concubine in the third room, her background is only a little worse than Qu Qingwen, if she finds a room at random in Shouyang County, it will be too despised for herself.

Qu Qingyan originally wanted to solve the problem that his daughter was unable to marry, but he didn't think much about it.

"What do you think I would do better, Mama?"

"Young master, you can first accept a room, and then give birth to an eldest son, so that your family affairs will not be easy to deal with in the future, whether it is high or low, it is not easy for the old lady to help you say goodbye."
