Chapter 197: Attending the Meeting
In the end, Hongwen Tianzi still suppressed the impulse in his heart and dispelled the idea of a private interview with Weifu.
The dignified emperor did not sit in the capital division of Great Xia, but went to the people, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty must have hit the dragon pillar again to apologize for their crimes.
There is no shortage of ministers in the central government, nor is there a shortage of heroic and invincible generals, but their thinking is inevitably a little pedantic, thinking that the holy monarch can only sit in the capital, act as the head of a country, review and read official documents, and leave civil affairs to the courtiers below.
What kind of private interview is a storyteller's story.
The great eunuch Liu Jing was grateful, if he failed to prevent His Majesty from leaving the palace, the civil officials headed by Wang Mingyang, a cabinet scholar, might have skinned it and cramped it the next day, and the eighteenth generation of ancestors greeted him all over the place.
Liu Jing is destined to have no queen in this life, after all, there is no work to pass on the ancestry, but he is full of awe and filial piety to his ancestors.
"Liu Jing, the commander of Jinyiwei can Wu Yabin leave the capital?" asked Hongwen Tianzi.
"Back to Your Majesty, after Wu Shuai finished reporting yesterday, he took the Jinyi Guard's army to the southern provinces overnight to look for traces of His Royal Highness the Prince......," Liu Jing bowed.
Hongwen Tianzi nodded, this matter is currently only known to Wu Yabin and Liu Jing, the commander of Jinyiwei, and the matter of finding His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must be carried out in secret.
In that incident more than ten years ago, several royal brothers were vaguely involved, if this matter was known to them, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be more than lucky even if he lived.
This is also the original intention of him to go to the south to find the prince in person, but in fact, it is to protect the prince.
"This is to be done in secret. Hongwen Tianzi said in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
Liu Jing nodded heavily.
Hongwen Tianzi stood on top of the imperial city, looking at the bright full moon and stars in the night sky, and wondered if his exiled prince is also looking up at this starry sky now?
......
In the early morning of the next day, in the Cabinet of Wuling County, Taiwu Province, the Great Elder Tang Shanbo and the Second Elder Liu Chuanfeng received an order from the Son of Hongwen.
"No mercy!"
Tang Shanbo and Liu Chuanfeng were both shocked by the killing intent coming from the decree, and this time His Majesty was really furious.
"Pass on Your Majesty's will to Fang Junshou, but Deacon Xu Chang wants to stay, and the others will pay for what they have done!"
Tang Shanbo took a deep breath and exchanged glances with Elder Liu, who nodded and left the Clerk's Pavilion.
Elder Liu, who had descended from the mountain, got into the carriage of the Clerk's Pavilion and rushed straight to the county guard's mansion to personally convey the will of the Hongwen Heavenly Son to Fang Rusong.
Lin Yu, who had just packed his bags and was about to go to Mayang County to participate in the poetry conference, was just about to say goodbye to his father-in-law, when he happened to see Elder Liu of the Clerk's Pavilion in the inner courtyard.
"The student has seen Elder Liu!"
Lin Yu bowed, then looked at his father-in-law Fang Rusong, and said, "Father-in-law is early." ”
"Well, where are you going to pack your luggage? won't you be holding a grudge and abandoning Fang's house?"
Fang Rusong's brows furrowed slightly, could it be that yesterday's words hurt Lin Yu? He was also helpless, although he admired Lin Yu's talent and ability, but Qing Xue was really special in addition to her outstanding talent in Wen Dao......
Fang Junshou looked at Lin Yu with a painful heart, his eyes were slightly red, like an angry little daughter-in-law, I felt pity.
Elder Liu of the Wenge Pavilion paused for a moment, and it seemed that the expression of the absolute Fang County Guard was a little ...... It's embarrassing.
Not only him, but Lin Yu, who was stared at by his father-in-law, felt a chill in his back.
This look is really ambiguous, and people who don't know the truth still think that they have a leg with their father-in-law.
"Father-in-law is serious, isn't the son-in-law going to Mayang County to participate in the Seven Counties Poetry Conference as you ordered?" Lin Yu quickly explained.
"Whew~"
The county warden Fang sighed, a smile appeared on his face again, and he nodded and said: "The virtuous son-in-law has worked hard, and the case of the bookseller has just ended, so he will go out again, and he will take fifty taels of silver from the bookkeeper later, so as not to go to Mayang County to be embarrassed and shy......"
"Fifty taels?"
Lin Yu couldn't help but roll his eyes, this father-in-law couldn't help but be a little picky!
Fortunately, he has a lot of private money, at least it is not a problem to go to Mayang County to eat big fish and meat.
I thought so in my heart, but I definitely couldn't say that, Lin Yu suddenly looked moved, and said, "Father-in-law Xie cares about ......."
Elder Liu, who was in the Clerk's Pavilion on the side, saw that the time was not too early, and His Majesty's will must not be neglected in the slightest, so he immediately took out the decree of the Son of Heaven and handed it to Fang Junshou, and said: "This is Your Majesty's personal decree, and all the people involved in the case have been killed, but Xu Chang, the deacon of the Clerk's Pavilion, must be ......."
Fang Rusong immediately knelt down to accept the decree, after all, this is equivalent to a holy decree, such as the human emperor in person.
Glancing at the contents of the letter, what came to his face was the anger and the majestic killing intent from the Hongwen Heavenly Son, and the look on Fang Rusong's face became more and more solemn.
"Zhang Ji Bookseller, can Zhou Yuan, the magistrate, be among them?" Lin Yu couldn't help but ask.
Zhang Ji bookseller is what he will use in the future, and Zhou Tizhi is purely because of the relationship between half of his friends in private.
Zhou Yuan's crime is not enough to kill his head, but Zhang Ji bookseller is different, although he is guilty of meritorious service, but his crime is no different from other booksellers.
And Lin Yu will rely on Zhang Ji Bookseller to realize his small ideal of being rich in the future, and he can't make any mistakes.
Elder Liu looked at Lin Yu deeply and said, "Don't worry, Elder Tang only reported the Seven Great Booksellers and Zheng Hong, the county warden of Mayang County, and the others are convicted by your county guard as appropriate......
Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief, the expression on his face softened, and he immediately hugged his fists and said goodbye: "That student will leave first!"
"Father-in-law, the son-in-law has taken the first step. ”
Lin Yu clasped his fists towards Elder Liu and Fang Ru, then turned around and left the county guard's mansion, got into the carriage arranged by the chief of the guard, Sun Lu, and left Wuling County.
He actually guessed one or two about the will of the Son of Heaven, and these booksellers would definitely die.
Fortunately, Elder Tang of the Clerk's Pavilion secretly helped him, and did not push out the Zhang Ji bookseller.
This small kindness seems to have really brewed a few jars of cottage Moutai wine for Elder Tang, and he should be grateful for his 'grace not to kill' to Zhang Ji booksellers.
The seven counties of Taiwu Province are the most extensive in Mayang County, and they are also the most prosperous counties in the entire Taiwu Province, and the literary style is prevalent.
On the occasion of the Seven Counties Poetry Conference, Mayang County was unprecedentedly lively, and literati from various counties gathered, and for a time the air in the county town was filled with a strong smell of books.
The place where talent gathers is also a place where talent visions are very likely to appear, and literati from various counties are also gearing up to show their literary talents.
