readx;? It was a sunny afternoon, the flower cat under the porch was lazily licking its paws, the birds on the branches also fell into the warm air, no longer made a crisp call, slowly fell asleep, and the pen holder on the table also felt the sunlight projected outside the window, dyed with a trace of temperature.

But at this moment, when Shen Yuan heard Emperor Zhaohua talk about the past, he only felt that his whole body was cold, obviously the afternoon sun brought a lot of heat, but he still felt a coldness from the bottom of his heart, and that coolness swept the whole body.
Half an hour ago, he said, "I'm a little laissez-faire about this, because of what I've been through......
And Shen Yuan sat there seriously, waiting for him to continue to say, "The concubine listens. ”
"At that time, I was just an eleven-year-old prince, and I went to Yunzhong County with the first emperor to parade, and the officials there were not just buying and selling officials, but I dealt with Jiangnan County relatively lightly, because it was compared with the incident in Yunzhong County, which was really nothing, at most, it was just that the local officials made donations to enrich their pockets in order to get more silver. ”
"But...... Isn't this already violating Xuanchi's law?" Although Shen Yuan is a woman, because of the Shen family's expectations for her, she has made up for the likes and dislikes of this Xuanchi country, from the official rank to the national law, and besides, this kind of behavior that is obviously corrupt and perverted the law can be saved even if it is an illiterate old lady on the road.
"Yes, I will deal with them according to the law, but this is not a heavy punishment. ”
"This is what the emperor said, because it can't reach the level of the old news back then, so you understate it? Then the concubine is really a little curious about the matter of Yunzhong County. I don't know if I can ......?" Shen Yuan thought.
"Naturally, I want to talk to you about this. Let's start with ...... "Emperor Zhaohua seems to have fallen into deep memories like this.
At that time, Emperor Zhaohua, who was still young, was only a prince, and he caught up with the parade of the first emperor at the right age......
It was different from this parade, because Yunzhong County did not need to travel by land and water, so the first emperor only strengthened the team's precautions and set off.
At that time, I also encountered the county guard of Yunzhong County who was planning to buy and sell official positions, and the first emperor was very angry when he found out, so he asked people to investigate the matter thoroughly, but he didn't expect that the real annoyance was still waiting for him behind.
The county guard trading official is much more ruthless than now, and the price is not low, of course, if it is just like this, he is just a character similar to Zhou Fucheng, the county guard of Jiangnan, but this person is insidious and cunning, and his methods are vicious.
After checking and checking, I found that the first time a county order was bought and sold because the previous county order was ashamed of the county guard's behavior, but in the end, it was a county order with a sincere heart, so I went to the door and begged the county keeper not to do some more corrupt things, and should admit what he did to the court as soon as possible, repent and reform, take off the black gauze hat on his head, and don't let it down.
It is conceivable that the county guard is unwilling to heat himself, and the two have a dispute, and the county commander is angry, saying that if the county guard cannot surrender to the court, he will play and denounce him, and the two have been in a stalemate for a long time, refusing to relax.
In the end, what made the county commander relieved was that the stalemate was half loud, and the county keeper finally compromised and relented, saying that he understood what he meant and for his own sake, and he should listen to what he said, but there were old and young in his family, and it was not good to lose him, so when he dealt with the trivial matters at home, he asked to hang the seal and leave.
The county commander also didn't expect that the county guard would agree so happily later, in the end, he euphemistically expressed his attachment to his family, so he believed it, but he didn't expect that this was just the beginning of his tragedy......
On his way back, the county guard sent a domestic killer to rob and kill the county commander on the way, and then notified his family as quickly as possible, but at the same time, the body of the county commander was reduced to ashes in a thatched hut.
He also said that this county order came to him today to discuss a family, which seemed to be in collusion with the bandits, and he wanted to find out, and although he was the guard of a county, he couldn't stop his steps, but he didn't expect him to go, and he never came back.
The family, knowing that the county commander was indeed a stubborn and conscientious good official, was convinced of the cause of death explained by the county guard, and even comforted the county guard not to blame himself for failing to stop the county order.
But the county guard has already sold the position of the county order at a high price, and everyone said that the person who bought the official was a fool, and the court would definitely send a new official to take office, how could it be his turn, but he just gave people silver to spend for nothing.
However, the county guard, who had already lost his mind, did not stop his black hand at all, and he sent someone to secretly get rid of this person on the way to the post of the tribute, but this time there was no disguise, after all, the man happened to be alone, and took the letter of appointment in the man's hand and gave it to the person who bought the official.
This official position sat for five years, and it was not until the bloody past inside was clearly investigated bit by bit that it was made public. This incident was extremely bad, so that the first emperor used ruthless means to almost bloodied the officials of Yunzhong County, large and small, and pushed all those involved to the guillotine......
Hearing this, Shen Yuan exuded a sense of sadness in his heart, and he could be regarded as understanding why Emperor Zhaohua didn't react too much after hearing about the Jiangnan County.
"Back then, although it was eleven years old, the queen mother protected me very well, and didn't even let some private things come to my eyes, so ah...... At that time, I was still a teenager who longed for the harmony of the world, full of enthusiasm, imagining fighting on the battlefield, imagining that the country was prosperous. But let such an incident make him re-understand the country and re-understand the hearts of the people......" Emperor Zhaohua said very slowly, with a feeling of nostalgia for the past in his tone.
"But the emperor, the concubines think that it is because of this that they can't indulge too much in those officials who continue to be corrupt and pervert the law, and prey on the people. Shen Yuan listened to these words, and a trace of expectation rose in her heart.
"Well, then, have you ever heard the phrase 'when the water is clear, there are no fish', this phenomenon of buying and selling officials is not only Yunzhong County and Jiangnan County, I dare to say that up and down the Xuanchi Kingdom, including the capital, there are people secretly selling official positions, and the twists and turns here can be solved casually?" Emperor Zhaohua continued to explain patiently.
Maybe it's because the sunshine is just right this afternoon, or maybe it's the rockery that he played with when he was young, which touched the softness of his heart, or he was misunderstood, and he always thought about what to say, in short, he was extra patient today and told Shen Yuan his thoughts.
"Concubine, maybe you understand what the emperor meant......" Shen Yuan had some indescribable feelings, this was the first time she really understood Emperor Zhaohua's handling of a matter and some thoughts in her heart, and his tireless narration added warmth to her heart, although this man was the most noble man in Xuanchi Kingdom, but he could feel his own thoughts.
Shen Yuan, who would make a mistake, was once again immersed in the full love for Emperor Zhaohua, and couldn't extricate himself......
Later, because Emperor Zhaohua may have vomited the unhappiness in his heart, he was particularly interested in asking Shen Yuan to disguise himself and go to the restaurant outside to eat.
Shen Yuan was naturally happy to go together, originally a few days ago, Emperor Zhaohua seemed to have some snubbing to her, which made her worry for a long time, does today's invitation mean that Emperor Zhaohua still has her place in his heart......?
This is a woman who is full of love, and before she can react, she has been constantly excusing his negligence and neglect in her heart, in the final analysis, it is just an illusion.
As for Emperor Zhaohua, in fact, he didn't come to the restaurant to eat on a whim today, but made an appointment with Ying Si, wanting to see Cheng Jianzhang who played him around.
At this moment, Lu Nancheng and his party, as they had done on the road before, still retouched their faces, pretended to be ordinary businessmen, sat in the restaurant opposite the Tianfu Inn, found a position near the window, and sat down.
Shen Yuan also understood what Emperor Zhaohua seemed to have at this time, but he was not ready to ask, so he quietly waited by the side.
First of all, he sent someone to pretend to make an offer to the man to come out to discuss, because the man would receive such a letter in the next few days, so he went out of the door of the inn without any doubt, and Emperor Zhaohua sat there quietly watching the person who was looking around, trying to find the person who sent him a letter and invitation, but he did not see any trace of anyone.
After hesitating at the door for a while, he didn't see anyone calling him, and thought that maybe there was some change in the plan, so he went back upstairs.
Emperor Zhaohua looked at the man, remembering that Ying Si couldn't steal his credentials, so he was angry and checked this person and reported it clearly.
"It's no wonder that Ying Si has no way to take this person......" Lu Nancheng sighed in a low voice.
"Yes, master, I said that my subordinates have done their best, but still, alas. Shen Yuan heard a voice that he had never heard before, and looked towards the source of the sound, but he didn't see anyone coming, and he was a little puzzled.
"I can't make excuses for myself, and I haven't come out yet, what is hiding in front of my master. It was rare to see Ying Yi looking like a child, and Shen Yuan's eyes widened a little strangely.
When the shadow four turned over from somewhere outside the window and stood there, looking at this slightly familiar face, and then at the appearance of the shadow one, it turned out that these two people were actually brothers? Shen Yuan was a little surprised and made a voice, "Ah! You two are brothers?"
"Hui Niangniang, this is the younger brother of his subordinates, which makes Niangniang smile. Ying Yi was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and scolded Ying Si in his heart, always making trouble for him.
Shen Yuan naturally waved her hand again and again, and after the meal came up, she also looked at the two brothers from time to time, and found that this seemed to be the reaction that a brother should have compared to his younger relatives, so at that time, Shen Ting's actions towards her had completely exceeded such a limit......
This suddenly remembered such an unhappy incident, which made her a little inexplicably depressed, and when she returned to the royal garden, she retired with a slight discomfort without waiting for Emperor Zhaohua to say anything.
Lu Nancheng was thinking about it in his heart at this time, how to use that Cheng Jianzhang, let this chess piece be used in a usable place, and then make the spring water in Jiangnan make waves.
After thinking about it, Lu Nancheng suddenly had an idea in his heart, and called Ying Yi to call Ying Si back, and after some planning, Ying Si called out that the master was still powerful, so he hurried down to prepare.
"Master, who are you?" Ying Yi was still a little puzzled, unlike the hidden guards of other families, they could put forward their own opinions in front of Emperor Zhaohua, not just to protect the safety of Emperor Zhaohua.
"I want to use this Cheng Jianzhang. Emperor Zhaohua looked at it, and it was now the middle of the moon outside.
At this moment, Cheng Jianzhang, who was still asleep in the inn, expected that someone would think about the certificate in his hand, and also expected that his life might be threatened by others, but he really didn't expect to encounter such a thing......
