Of course, the ideas of these subordinate officials are naturally good, Xu Youzhen and Shi Heng are both hot figures in the court, so naturally they can't be provoked.

After Xu Youzhen heard that Li Kelin was Shi Heng's nephew, she thought slightly, and understood the attitude of these subordinate officials under her hands.

According to the situation, Li Kelin is Shi Heng's nephew, and the officials in the court are naturally unwilling to offend Li Kelin because of Shi Heng's face, so it is understandable that the officials under him have such scruples.

However, Xu Youzhen thought about it again: "I and Shi Heng were officials in the same dynasty, and they cooperated with Cao Jixiang in the palace during the change of seizing the door, and the friendship is not bad." It's just that Shi Heng and Cao Jixiang got closer and closer, and it seemed that they wanted to deal with themselves. had a bad relationship with Cao Jixiang before, but Shi Heng's attitude was ambiguous, and he didn't know if he wanted Cao Jixiang to stab himself in the back together. ”

With such a thought in his heart, Xu Youzhen felt that he might as well coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, take advantage of the emperor's order to thoroughly investigate the concealment of the disaster by Henan officials, and take this opportunity to knock Shi Heng, so that Shi Heng can stay away from Cao Jixiang and go with him.

After making up her mind, Xu Youzhen scolded the subordinate officials with a cold face: "Establish a dynasty as an official, and act uprightly, how can you be so afraid and retreat, this Henan disaster, the sacred heart is worried." The courtiers were supposed to share the worries of the saints, but they couldn't wait for the Jingshi to have many more displaced people who fled from Henan these days, and even the porridge factory set up by the saint to take pity on the victims has been crushed by the victims. This shows the seriousness of the locust plague in Henan, and you are willing to protect these officials regardless of the holy will. ”

Hearing Xu Youzhen's words, the subordinates hurriedly said: "What my lord has seen is that we are eating the court's money, and we will never dare to act against the emperor's will." ”

"Okay, since you all have this intention in your hearts, things will be easy to do, take a good look at the excerpts, and thoroughly investigate the matter of Henan officials' concealment of the disaster." Xu Youzhen ordered.

Xu Youzhen had this order, and the officials under him naturally did not dare to disobey.

These subordinate officials spoke to Xu Youzhen: "Lord Xu has this command, and we dare not slack off. Please rest assured. ”

Xu Youzhen said: "The emperor attaches great importance to this matter, you must remember not to be careless, and you must investigate it strictly and thoroughly." ”

The officials are self-reliant in their promises.

This huge turmoil soon became known all over the city.

Because the matter was the emperor's jump, and Xu Youzhen pressed it down, the officials in charge of the thorough investigation naturally did not dare to slack off, and quickly figured out the matter.

It turned out that after Li Kelin took office, he felt that reporting the news of the locust plague to the imperial court would affect his political performance, so he brought the locust plague incident lightly.

After Xu Youzhen figured things out, he reported to Zhu Qizhen.

Zhu Qizhen ordered him to take full authority to deal with this matter.

After having such an order from Zhu Qizhen, Xu Youzhen gathered some adults and wanted to convict Li Kelin.

Of course, this kind of news spread very quickly, and it broke into Henan for a long time, and naturally it reached Li Kelin's ears.

Li Kelin was naturally extremely anxious in his heart, this person was able to rise to the high position of governor of Henan, naturally relying on Shi Heng's merits, so after such a thing, the six gods suddenly had no master, and they had to go to Beijing to ask Shi Heng for help.

This matter is so big, Shi Heng is naturally very clear, but because it is the emperor's order, and Li Kelin is really too unreasonable, so Shi Heng has no choice but to reprimand Li Kelin, and there is no choice but to try to prevent the disaster for him.

The matter has already come out, and you can't hide it if you want to.

After learning from the pain, Shi Heng had no choice but to go to Xu's mansion to find Xu Youzhen to intercede.

After all, the emperor gave Xu Youzhen the discretionary execution power in this matter, and if he wanted to let this unsuccessful nephew pass, he had to take this way.

After coming to Xu Youzhen's mansion, because Shi Heng was one of the most powerful figures in the court, the people in Xu Youzhen's mansion quickly passed it on to Xu Youzhen.

Xu Youzhen was playing chess with the guests in the house, and when the guests heard that Shi Heng was visiting, they were naturally very interested, so they got up to avoid it and left.

As soon as the guests left, Xu Youzhen asked the oldest official in the mansion to personally greet Shi Heng over.

As soon as the two met, Xu Youzhen took the initiative to put down his body and sell to Xu Youzhen because he had a request for him: "I haven't seen you for many days, Lord Xu is more and more clear, the wind god is handsome and elegant, not like a human figure, but like a fairy character with a fairy wind and bones." ”

As soon as Shi Heng met, he was this blatant sycophant, Xu Youzhen naturally understood that Shi Heng must have come here for himself, and from the current situation, it was very likely that it was for their nephew's nephew, who had not been in office for a long time.

With this thought in her heart, Xu Youzhen said unhurriedly: "Lord Shi has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and today I came to find the old man, I don't know what to see." ”

Hearing this, Shi Heng smiled and said: "Lord Xu said that he was joking, you and I are ministers in the same palace, and we all met in the court, and there is no need for Shi to come to Lord Xu's court." As for the teaching, only Lord Xu instructed Shi Heng, and Shi Heng of which wheel pointed out in front of Lord Xu. ”

Hearing this, Xu Youzhen smiled slightly and said, "Lord Shi is polite, even speaking is extremely polite, Lord Shi, please take a seat." ”

After that, Xu Youzhen introduced Shi Heng into the inner room.

After coming to the inner room, the two wanted to give way for a while, and then sat down separately.

After sitting down, Xu Youzhen made tea and served the people of Xu's mansion.

The two chatted while drinking tea, and after Shi Heng sat down, he was not in a hurry, but just casually talked about some anecdotes about the ministers of the DPRK and China, and Xu Youzhen's city government was also deep, so he accompanied the chattering anecdotes.

After the two of them chatted unspeakably, Shi Heng couldn't help it.

After Shi Heng finished drinking a cup of tea, he was silent for a while, and then said to Xu Youzhen: "Lord Xu, Shi made a special trip to the door today, and I still have something I want to ask Lord Xu for help." ”

When Xu Youzhen saw Shi Heng say this, he pretended to be extremely sincere and spoke to Shi Heng: "Lord Shi has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, you and I are ministers in the same hall, as long as Lord Shi says a word, Xu can help someone else, and everyone is happy." ”

Hearing Xu Youzhen's words, Shi Heng smiled and said: "That's really going to be more Lord Xu, but it's inconvenient to say this to outsiders, Lord Xu, can you take a step to speak." ”

Shi Heng mentioned this matter, and Xu Youzhen said: "Okay, Lord Shi has a life, how dare Xu disobey." ”

After that, Xu Youzhen opened his mouth to the servants and maids in the palace who were serving beside him, and instructed: "Lord Ben and Lord Shi have important matters to discuss, so you can leave first, and don't let them come in and disturb them." ”

When the official family heard this, he respectfully said to Xu Youzhen: "It's the master." ”

After the official family led a group of slaves and maids to retreat, Xu Youzhen turned his face to Shi Heng and spoke; "Lord Shi, there are only two of you and me left in the room right now, it can be regarded as extremely clean, Lord Shi has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to speak."

Hearing Xu Youzhen's expression, Shi Heng opened his mouth and said: "I'm ashamed, this time Shi came to see Lord Xu, I wanted to ask Lord Xu to raise his noble hand, let go of his nephew Li Kelin, and point him a way to live, so as to spare his life." ”

As soon as Shi Heng said this, Xu Youzhen pretended to be surprised and asked, "I don't understand what Lord Xu said, why should you ask the old man for your nephew's matter." ”

Shi Heng heard Xu Youzhen's words, and understood that Xu Youzhen was deliberately pretending to be confused, so he said: "Lord Xu, let's not talk darkly, Shi knows that the emperor has great trust in Lord Xu, and some time ago he handed over the case of thoroughly investigating whether the disaster in Henan was concealed to Lord Xu with full authority, and his nephew Li Kelin happened to be the governor of Henan. Therefore, I also asked Lord Xu to help him on Shi's thin face, so that he could leave a way for his little nephew to live. ”

Xu Youzhen heard Shi Heng's words, so he opened his mouth and said: "Lord Shi, Lord Shi, this is not right, the Henan officials concealed the disaster by the emperor, it can be said that the emperor picked the head, the life and death of the people involved in the case are all decided by the emperor's pen, Xu is just a courtier, how can he have so much ability." ”

Hearing that Xu Youzhen flatly denied this, Shi Heng opened his mouth and said, "Lord Xu, are you joking?" Judging from the current situation, the emperor has already handed over all the power of this matter to your lord, as long as Lord Xu says something, it is not one one, two is two, and the matter of the nephew is still asked Lord Xu to help a lot. ”

Shi Heng's words were extremely sincere, but Xu Youzhen smiled and said: "I heard people, Lord Shi Heng is very familiar with Gonggong Cao in the palace during this time, why don't Lord Shi go to Cao Jixiangmen to ask for a way, as long as Gonggong Cao says a word in front of the emperor, you can ensure that your nephew has nothing to do." ”

After hearing Xu Youzhen's teasing words, Shi Heng opened his mouth and said: "Lord Xu is really joking, Shi and Gonggong Cao are just ordinary friends, and the courtesies are still exchanged, Lord Xu must not be too careful." ”

Shi Heng is a smart man, and he has heard from Xu Youzhen's words that Xu Youzhen is dissatisfied with getting too close to Cao Jixiang.

After thinking about this matter in his heart, Shi Heng continued to speak: "Cao Jixiang is a person in front of the emperor, and it is a last resort for ordinary Shi to have some dealings with him, after all, Cao Jixiang is a celebrity in front of the emperor, Lord Xu is a celebrity in the court, and Shi Heng is just a martial artist. ”

Hearing Shi Heng say such heartfelt words, Xu Youzhen nodded and said, "I heard Lord Shi say this, but Xu is really careful." ”

When Shi Heng heard this, he hurriedly said to Xu Youzhen: "Lord Xu is serious, he is serious, Shi does not dare to criticize Lord Xu at all, from the current situation, among the princes in the court, the first person whom Shi admires the most should be Lord Xu." ”

Hearing Shi Heng's statement, Xu Youzhen felt very comfortable, so he said to Shi Heng: "Well, since this is the case, then it is up to Lord Shi, and someone Xu will try to help your nephew." ”

Shi Heng nodded and said, "Please ask Lord Xu to help with this matter." If this can be done, even if Shi is asked to do anything. ”

Xu Youzhen heard Shi Heng's expression, so he opened his mouth and said: "Judging from the current situation, it is not up to Lord Ben to decide whether your nephew can survive or not, and even if you want to help your nephew, you have to think of a good topic." ”

Hearing Xu Youzhen's words, Shi Heng bowed slightly, and then thought for a while: "Lord Xu, you see that such a trick will not succeed, speaking of which, this matter is completely caused by the locust plague, so let my nephew go to the disaster relief." ”

Hearing Shi Heng mention this matter, Xu Youzhen opened his mouth and said: "It's not bad to hear this, this is a way, but you have to think about it carefully." ”

Xu Youzhen said this, Shi Heng climbed up the pole and said: "As long as Lord Xu has a word, there is nothing to do in this matter, my nephew was sent to Henan as a governor for a few days, and he didn't want to encounter such an unfortunate thing as the locust plague, so he wanted to restrain the locust plague and didn't need the help of the imperial court, so he wrote a few words lightly in the recital presented to the emperor. I never thought that I would cause such a murderous disaster, and from the current situation, I have to ask the adults to help more, otherwise my life will not be guaranteed. ”

Shi Heng said this, and Xu Youzhen spoke; "Lord Shi rest assured, since Lord Shi entrusted this matter to Xu, Xu will do his best to do it, but what the matter is, it still depends on the emperor's intentions, after all, this matter is personally handled by the emperor, although it is entrusted to Xu to deal with it, it still needs the emperor's approval."

When Shi Heng heard this, he hurriedly said to Xu Youzhen: "Shi understands this matter, this time Lord Xu can help, Shi is already extremely grateful, and please Lord Xu does not have to see outside for the matter of Shi and Cao's father-in-law, it is all Shi Mou's self-preservation strategy as a last resort, Shi has always been with Lord Xu, I think Lord Xu will definitely be able to understand the deep meaning here." ”

Although these words are vague and unclear, they are not enough for the two of them to tacitly.

Laughing at each other, Shi Heng entrusted his nephew's affairs to Xu Youzhen, and then got up and said goodbye.

On the second day after Xu Youzhen and Shi Heng reached an agreement, when Xu Youzhen went to the palace to report the locust plague in Henan to Zhu Qizhen, he intentionally or unintentionally excused Li Kelin.

Zhu Qizhen's face was gloomy and after listening to Xu Youzhen's words, he spoke to Xu Youzhen: "According to the current situation, Li Kelin has done a bad thing with good intentions, he is unwilling to report the locust plague to the imperial court, does he want to solve it alone, regardless of troublesome to the imperial court?" ”

Hearing Zhu Qizhen's question, Xu Youzhen opened his mouth and said: "From the situation, it seems that this is the case, Li Kelin did this for the sake of sharing the worries of the monarch's father. ”

Zhu Qizhen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Xu Youzhen's words: "If this is the case, there is no need to be too responsible, Li Kelin has only recently taken up the post of governor of Henan, speaking of which, this locust plague is also a natural disaster, even if Li Kelin has great ability, there is no way to deal with such a natural disaster, Xu Aiqing, you can tell me, how to deal with this Li Kelin and Henan disaster." ”

Hearing Zhu Qizhen's question, Xu Youzhen opened his mouth and said, "Yes, Your Majesty." Judging from the current situation, the natural disasters in Henan can no longer be eliminated, and the people are no longer a few, but some places are already ten rooms and nine empty, and it is only difficult to clean up such a mess with the strength of Henan alone, and the imperial court should support it, otherwise how can the people feel at ease. ”

As soon as Xu Youzhen's words came out, Zhu Qizhen bowed his head and said: "What Xu Aiqing said is very true, you go on, I still want to listen to it underground." ”

Seeing Zhu Qizhen's expression of approval, Xu Youzhen opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, judging from the current situation, the catastrophe in Henan still needs to be presided over. ”

"Let Li Kelin go to the disaster relief, can this matter work?" Zhu Qizhen opened his mouth and said.

"It should be feasible, I heard that Li Kelin is Lord Shi Heng is nephew, and Lord Shi Heng has led troops in Henan, and now there are many old departments of Lord Shi Heng over there, and now there is a great famine in Henan, and even the people in the army have a tendency to make chaos, if you want to suppress these stragglers, you have to use the prestige of Lord Shi Heng. In this way, Li Kelin is a suitable candidate. Xu Youzhen opened his mouth and said.

"Yes, yes, I didn't think about this, from the current point of view, Li Kelin is really suitable for some people, so I will give him another chance, let him make meritorious service and go to Henan to preside over disaster relief." Zhu Qizhen said to Xu Youzhen.

Hearing Zhu Qizhen's command, Xu Youzhen understood that the plan he and Shi Heng discussed yesterday had finally been achieved.

"Since the saint has this will, if Weichen wants to take Li Kelin, he will definitely repay the favor and work hard." Xu Youzhen opened his mouth and said.

"I hope so, I only hope that Li Kelin will not live up to my painstaking efforts and mess up the disaster relief." Zhu Qizhen just said lightly.

After Xu Youzhen said goodbye to the emperor, he invited Shi Heng to inform him of the matter.

After Shi Heng got the information, he secretly came to Xu Youzhen's mansion with Li Kelin.

Li Kelin was able to escape from Ascension this time, and naturally thanked Xu Youzhen for his kindness, and only after some precautions between the two sides did he sit down as the guest and host.

Xu Youzhen then Shi Heng and Li Kelin spoke: "Lord Shi, Li Kelin's virtuous nephew, although the emperor has forgiven this matter this time and asked the virtuous nephew to preside over the disaster relief of grain and grass, in fact, a test of the emperor, the virtuous nephew must not be careless, if there is any chaos, such as the chaos of the people to rob the grain and grass and other things, the emperor will know that you are not doing well, I am afraid that the contemptible people will not be able to save you at that time." ”

Hearing Xu Youzhen's words, Li Kelin was quite unexpected, after all, he was a complete layman when it came to disaster relief, and he heard that there would be nothing to do with the people robbing the grain and grass, so he didn't know how to deal with it, so he couldn't help but be a little stunned, and he forgot to reply.
