On the fifteenth day of the first month, the update will be resumed. Everyone doesn't seem to like to read announcements......

-------------------- this is nothing more dividing line--------------

The emperor's edict on the handling of the cases of "exchanging prisoners on death row" was officially issued ten days later. He Jingzhong, the secretary of the ministry, was dismissed, read that he was a father and son, and he was demoted to Yuezhou as an internal official, and He Wenxin was in accordance with the law; Qi Min, the secretary of the Criminal Department, disregarded people's lives, bent the law for dereliction of duty, took his post and went to prison, and was sentenced to exile. Zuo Cheng, Lang Zhong, Wai Lang and other officials involved in the case of the Criminal Department are all guilty of the same crime. Although King Yu was not implicated, he was able to pinch these two in the palm of the six departments of the imperial court, and he lost two Shangshu in one case, and he regretted and felt distressed, but also hated Xie Yu to the core.

Someone with a heart made an inventory of the gains and losses of both sides in the past half a year, and found that although it seems that the prince has been hit repeatedly recently, and the king is full of spirits, but with this case, the losses of both sides are not too much.

On the prince's side, the concubine was demoted, lost the court debate, folded the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials, and was moved to the Guijia Palace. On the side of King Yu, the land invasion case fell to a Qingguo Gong, and the queen was even more coldly treated in the palace, and now there is no criminal department and officials. People say that one is in full swing, but the strange thing is that these two people are fighting in full swing and are constantly disappearing, but no one has seen them grow anywhere, at most, King Yu can barely be regarded as a little closer to the relationship between King Mu and King Jing.

However, at this time, the crown prince and King Yu did not have the leisure to settle down and settle accounts, and they are now focusing all their energy on one thing, that is, how to fill the vacancies of their own people in the criminal department and the official department, and if they take 10,000 steps back, no one can let the other party's people go up.

The crown prince is currently thinking about it in the Guijia Palace, and he doesn't dare to intervene in this matter directly, so he can only fight for it with his hands, and he can't help but make seven points with great strength, and King Yu is because the two predecessors of the Shangshu who fell are recommended by him to take the throne, Emperor Liang is currently in a period of low evaluation of his ability to recognize people, and naturally he can't say that the wind is going to rain and rain like before, so the two fought for a long time, and they couldn't fight for the result.

It's okay to say that the Ministry of Officials just left a book, and there is no problem with the operation of the institution for the time being, but the Criminal Department was boiled half of the pot all of a sudden, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to continue with the person in charge. Emperor Liang was irritable in his heart, and people in his twilight years couldn't help but be a little dizzy, all the princes and princesses entered the palace one after another to ask for help, King Jing came with Princess Jingning, and when talking about Emperor Liang's recent troubles, King Jing casually mentioned Cai Hui, an official sent by the Criminal Department, when the third assistant director invaded the land last time. Emperor Liang was reminded by him, and suddenly remembered that this person was writing the text at that time, and left a good impression on himself, and hurriedly checked to confirm that he was not involved in the case this time, so he was immediately summoned to the palace and interviewed for half an hour. On the second day, Cai Quan was appointed as Zuo Cheng of the Sanpin Criminal Department, temporarily acting as Shangshu, and asked him to resume the reoperation of the Criminal Department within one month and clean up the backlog. The prince and the king of Yu, who were fighting with the clam and the clam clasp, didn't know where this Cai Quan fell from, and they originally thought it was the other party's ambush, but in the end, they had to believe that this person was really a centrist who did not belong to any camp.

After the criminal department stabilized first, Emperor Liang made up his mind to carefully examine the candidates for the secretary of the ministry, and after thinking about it for several days, he finally accepted the recommendation of Liu Cheng, the secretary of the Zhongshu Ling, and transferred Shi Yuanqing, the former doctor of the Imperial History Observatory of the Supervision Yuan, who had expired half a year ago but had not been reinstated, as the secretary of the ministry. Shi Yuanqing is known for his sensitivity and integrity, and has had frictions with the crown prince and King Yu, and Emperor Liang also dislikes him because he has been contradicted, this time I don't know how Liu Cheng persuaded Liu Cheng in the Chinese book, but he was able to let Emperor Liang endure his personal preferences and entrust him with important duties.

However, the heat in the court did not affect Mei Changsu's increasingly idle days in the mansion. Although he is now recognized as a strategist of the Honor King, the loss suffered by the Honor King in the case of "Changing Death Row Prisoners" was purely his own carelessness and contempt for the enemy, and he had never mentioned it to the Qilin genius beforehand, and of course no one was responsible for it afterwards. As for how to compete for the two Shangshu positions, King Yu came to ask Mei Changsu's opinion, but after all, he was born in the rivers and lakes, and he had no connections available in the court.

Therefore, during this period of spring flowers, Mei Changsu only concentrated on one thing, that is, to recruit craftsmen and start to rebuild the garden of Su's house.

The artwork of the new garden is designed by Mei Changsu himself, mainly with the tall and short with the vegetation landscape, supplemented by waterscape mountains and stones, a large lotus pond was newly excavated, a nine-curved bridge and a small pavilion were built, dozens of large ancient trees surrounded by two people were transplanted, and many flowers were replanted according to the different seasons. It is rare that the progress of the project is extremely fast, from the start to the end, it is only a month.

The second day after the Su house was rebuilt, Mei Changsu was very interested in inviting many people who had come and gone in the capital to come and enjoy the garden, under his special invitation, the two brothers of the Xie family brought Zhuo Qingyao and Zhuo Qingyi, the two sisters and brothers of Mu Wangfu brought several senior generals, Meng Zhi brought his wife, Xia Dong even brought Xia Chun, who had just returned to Beijing, although Yan Yujin did not bring anyone, but brought a delicate canoe, which provoked Feiliu to float on the water surface of the lotus pond all day long.

With the warm hospitality of the hosts, the party was very cheerful and lively. The guests who came to the door not only had extraordinary identities, but the key was that everyone's position was very messy, and there were people who had a relationship with either party, so that they would not talk about the court, but would choose some light topics from the south and north of the country to talk about, which was a rare refreshing and comfortable. Yan Yujin is the first one who can play and make trouble, Mu Qing is very temperamental with him, and the two of them are worth a bunch of ducks. Among the others, Zhuo Qingyao is well-versed in the anecdotes of the rivers and lakes, the hanging mirror envoys are well-informed, the Nihuang County Lord is a legend, and the host Mei Changsu is a wonderful person with interest...... No one could have imagined that such a strange-looking party would be so pleasant.

After visiting the garden, the luncheon is set on a semi-open platform, the dishes look simple and light, the best thing is that each dish is accompanied by a different wine, with the same food and drink, there is no flavor, and among the people seat, only Xie Bi, who loves to taste wine, can say most of the wine names, and the rest only know a little bit or two.

After the banquet, Mei Changsu ordered someone to set up a tea table, warm the cup and cook tea with his own hands, and when everyone tasted a cup, Fang Xu smiled and said: "It's so boring to sit down, I thought of a way to play last night, I don't know if everyone is interested?" ”

Jiang Zuo Meilang came up with a way to play, even if you don't want to play, at least you have to listen to what it is, Yan Yujin rushed to say: "Okay, good, Brother Su talk about it." ”

"I once had the fortune to get a book of bamboo slips, and after a long time of explanation, I roughly concluded that it was the long-lost Guanglingsan. Last night I hid it somewhere in the garden, and whoever found it first was given it as a gift. Mei Changsu explained, shaking the cup and exuding the fragrance of tea, "If you are a guest who is not interested in treasure hunting, I will accompany you here to drink tea and laugh and see who can get this today." ”

As soon as he heard the three words "Guangling San", Yan Yujin's eyes lit up as soon as he brushed the ground, Mu Xiaowang Mu Qing loved to play, and he was also excited, although Xie Bi was not interested in the piano score, but he felt that going treasure hunting should be more interesting than sitting and drinking tea, so these three people were the first to stand up. Xiao Jingrui originally thought that he could go or not, but as soon as he hesitated, Yan Yujin's eyes glared, he knew that his friend was Dora alone, so he put down the teacup with a smile and pulled Zhuo Qingyao to get up together. Zhuo Qingyi was also very interested in her expression, but because the girl was reserved, she was embarrassed to join in the fun, so she sat in place with a red face and did not move, and quietly glanced at the Nihuang County Lord.

The county lord is such a smart person, he knew what she was praying for at a glance, stood up with a slight smile, and said, "Miss Zhuo, are you willing to follow me all the way?" ”

Zhuo Qingyi couldn't help the joy on her face, hurriedly stood up and saluted, and said, "It is Qingyi's honor for the county lord to summon him. ”

Seeing that the county lord and the little prince had gone, the generals of King Mu's Mansion, who were already eager to try, could still sit still, and immediately followed. In just a few moments, the entire platform was empty.

Mei Changsu gently turned the thin porcelain teacup with his fingertips, and said with a smile: "It seems that the only people who are willing to sit and drink tea with me are Brother Meng, Sister-in-law Meng, and Lord Xia Dong......

"How come, there is still Lord Xia Chun......" Meng Zhi continued to talk casually, and looked at the east seat, and was stunned for a moment, "What about Lord Xia Chun?" ”

"It's long gone," Xia Dong couldn't help but laugh on his face, "Brother Chun is also a music idiot, as soon as he heard that there was a guqin score, where could he still sit still, before Mr. Su's words were finished, he was like a gust of wind...... Floated ......"

"Yes, yes," Meng Zhi patted his head with his hand, "It's me who is forgetful, Lord Xia Chun fought with His Majesty last time for an ancient genealogy." ”

"Lord Xia Chun is the best at Qimen Dunjia and ingenuity, and my little camouflage of Tibetan genealogy will naturally be seen through at a glance, it seems that Yujin is going to be depressed today." Mei Changsu smiled.

"It's hard to predict, Mr. Su's garden is not small, whether he found the right direction from the beginning depends on luck." Xia Dong raised his eyebrows, his narrow phoenix eyes were shining, and he smiled evilly, "Yujin, this stinky boy dragged so many helpers, I see that except for Brother Chun, anyone else who finds this ancient score will eventually be snatched by him." In this way, his winning rate is not low. ”

Mei Changsu smiled silently, bowed his head to take care of the tea stove, changed the hot tea for everyone, and chatted about some local customs. About two or three quarters of an hour later, Xia Chunren, as his name suggests, came back with a spring breeze on his face, holding a small mahogany box in his hand, striding forward, arching his hand towards Mei Changsu, and said: "Mr. Su, such a generous gift, I dare not take it." ”

Mei Chang Su smiled loudly and said, "Lord Xia Chun found it himself, what does it have to do with Su." What about the others? You won't be looking for it, will you? ”

"Yes," Xia Chun smiled a little slyly, "I came back quietly." ”

"I didn't expect Lord Xia Chun to have such a playful childlike innocence," Mei Changsu couldn't help laughing, shaking his head and turning his gaze to the left side of the platform.

Li Gang didn't know when he was already standing there, and when he saw the sect master's gaze sweeping, he quietly raised his right eyebrow and bowed.

Mei Changsu was sure in his heart, and said: "You go and ask the county lord to come back, even if you look for it again, there is no second book." ”

"Yes." Soon after Li Gang ordered him to retreat, other treasure hunters returned one after another. Yan Yujin saw that the piano score was in Xia Chun's hand, although he was depressed, but he also knew that this person was even more crazy than himself, so he only sighed twice, and soon threw it away.

The sun shadow is slanting westward, and the guests and hosts are happy. After the time, the guests got up one after another to say goodbye. Meng Zhi was the last to go, and he had always ridden a horse, probably because he was with his wife, so he actually got into the carriage and drove away.

After Mei Changsu saw off the guests at the door of the house, Fang slowly returned to his bedroom in the back garden, and said with a smile as soon as he entered the door: "Brother Meng, you came back so quickly." ”

"I didn't go far," Meng Zhi came over to help him close the door, turned around and frowned, "Did you forget that Xia Chun was here when you played this game today?" I was really shocked to break out in a cold sweat just now, he is a well-known master of the mechanism, you dare to let him turn around the garden at will......"

"This game is designed for Xia Chun," Mei Changsu's lips floated with a proud smile, "The secret passage that even Xia Chun can't discover, that's the real secret passage...... Besides, I have specially rebuilt the secret passage, even if it is turned out by Xia Chun, he can only see that it is a secret room. Besides, if I hadn't been sure of beating him by seven points, I wouldn't have taken that risk. ”

"That's right," Meng Zhi let out a long breath, "when did you not do what you did?" ”

Mei Changsu smiled and held his arm, and said in a low voice: "Today is the first time, Brother Meng, would you like to accompany your younger brother to Jingwang's Mansion?" ”
