Chapter 68: River City

Your Majesty is Bi Xi? Bi Xi is Your Majesty? So how could Bi Xi participate in the imperial examination? It's even more impossible to cheat! Is Your Majesty testing me with test questions?

Mo Shaoling's mind was buzzing, and he couldn't sort out his thoughts, and he couldn't speak.

Zhao Chengxi smiled: "It seems that Mo Bangyan is overly happy." ”

Zhao Chengxi smiled, and said, "Fang Cai Qiu's words made me think deeply. I only have one pair of eyes and one pair of ears, how can I know the situation of the people of the entire Tanglin Kingdom? The Metropolitan Procuratorate is responsible for supervising hundreds of officials, but it can also be deceived by others. Therefore, I decided to send ministers to various places from time to time to supervise the actions of local officials in order to avoid the situation of protecting officials and officials. ”

Everyone knelt on the ground and shouted Your Majesty's wisdom.

Zhao Chengxi said again: "I have already decided where the three of you are going. Qiu is tireless as the head of the household department, and he is six products. Mo Shaoling is the director of the Ministry of Officials, and he is six products. Fan Yanqing is in the Ministry of Officials, and he is the fifth grade. ”

"Your Majesty, it's just that the official department is the father of Fan Zhuangyuan, Master Fan, and Fan Zhuangyuan is only afraid that he will have to avoid it." A minister said.

"No problem. I believe that the two Fan Aiqing will distinguish between public and private. ”

Zhao Chengxi said this, and everyone did not dare to object.

"By the way, a few days ago, the Ministry of Rites handed over the excerpt to the old man and returned to his hometown, and I was approved. I remember that Cheng Zexin of the Ministry of Rites was quite ingenious on the Wanshou Festival, so I promoted him to the Ministry of Rites. ”

Zhao Chengxi didn't forget Cheng Zexin's credit for helping him quietly take out the initial test questions from the Ministry of Rites.

"In addition, Fan Zhuangyuan went to the imperial study to wait for me and retreat from the court."

"Fan Aiqing, do you know why I want you to enter the ministry?"

Fan Yanqing had some guesses in her heart, but she still didn't dare to say anything, so she only said: "Forgive Weichen for being stupid, Weichen doesn't know." ”

Zhao Chengxi asked again: "What do you think of Mo Shaoling?" ”

"Mo Bangyan is talented, and Weichen admires it."

Zhao Chengxi held his forehead, and he was really tired of talking to Fan Yanqing. Is he used to being obscure? Can you not speak without talking? It's not easy to hear what he really thinks.

"The Ministry of Officials is the head of the six departments, and now that your father is old, I let you enter the Ministry because I want you to inherit his mantle. He's loyal to me, but what about you? Zhao Chengxi decided to get straight to the point.

Fan Yanqing was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Zhao Chengxi to be so direct, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "Weichen thanked Long En, he will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations, and he is willing to smear His Majesty's liver and brain, and then die." ”

Zhao Chengxi smiled and said, "In that case, I will ask again, what do you think of Mo Shaoling?" ”

Fan Yanqing said bluntly: "This person is indeed talented, sincerity is rare, but arrogance is a little heavier. ”

"You're right. You and he have both entered the ministry, you are the champion, and he is the role model. You are the son of Shangshu, and he has no background. You say, what will the people of the ministry do to him? ”

Fan Yanqing understood: "Your Majesty wants to polish his arrogance?" ”

"Yes, the so-called too rigid is easy to break. He's a talent, but it's not time to reuse it. The task is up to you, and you know how to do it. ”

"Wechen obeys."

Su Kantai's recent days are terrifying.

It's all to blame for the fact that his subordinates can't do anything, and they simply went to Xinglin Village to collect some taxes, but they didn't expect to kill the village chief and force the villagers to go to Xinglin Mountain to fall into the grass. That's it, I didn't expect that my subordinates with wine bags and rice bags couldn't even deal with a few mobs, and they were robbed of official food. He also had no choice, after all, the robbery of official food was a big matter, and he could only ask the imperial court to send someone to suppress the bandits. In order to ensure that the matter is not revealed, he also spent a lot of effort to dredge up the relationship, hoping that the person from the court is a good negotiator. Unexpectedly, it was the protector of the country who came from all directions.

I heard that the Protector Marquis grew up in the military camp since he was a child, and his martial arts are outstanding, and he has won all battles, so this little thing is naturally not a problem. However, it is said that the Protector Army is strict in military discipline, and the Protector Marquis is also a ruthless person, if he finds out that he has concealed something about the bandits in Xinglin Mountain, how can it be good?

What made him feel a little relieved was that this Qin Chongzhou had been here for two days, although he was not smiling, but he was still good at serving, and he was either resting in the house or going to the city market for the past two days, without mentioning the matter of suppressing bandits. He also kept an eye on it, quietly sent someone to follow, and didn't find anything wrong, so he also put his mind at ease.

On this day, Su Kantai had a banquet in the mansion like two days ago, unlike before, Qin Chongzhou actually took the initiative to talk to him this time, which flattered him, you must know that he has been looking for words for the first two days, and Qin Chongzhou is just a pity of words like "uh-huh" should be reconciled.

"Lord Su, Ben Hou saw a blue-glazed backflow wine jug at His Majesty's place before, I heard that it was paid tribute by Jiangzhong City?"

"Yes, Master Hou, it is true that the lower officials paid tribute. The inverted pot is exquisitely designed, the color glaze is pure, it is the top grade, and the lower officials occasionally get this thing, and they dare not hide it privately, so they will be dedicated to His Majesty. ”

"Lord Su has a heart, Your Majesty likes it very much."

"It is an honor for the lower officials to be liked by His Majesty."

"I wonder if Lord Su can find this thing again?" Qin Chongzhou looked at Su Kantai, "Ben Hou likes it too." ”

Su Kantai was secretly happy, and he didn't know how to please this protector, but he didn't expect him to speak first. But Su Kantai is scheming, so naturally he won't release the hole cards all at once, he must first hang the appetite of this protector.

"This ......" Su Kantai is so difficult.

"Master Su doesn't have to be embarrassed, just pretend that Ben Hou hasn't spoken." How could Qin Chongzhou not know Su Kantai's thoughts, he had already found out that this old fox still had a backflow wine jug for himself. He knew that Zhao Chengxi couldn't put down this backflow pot at that time, but because he broke it, since he came to Jiangzhong City, how could he not bring a gift back.

"Master Hou, it's funny, in fact, this backflow pot is a pair, when the lower official got this thing, he originally wanted to offer a pair to His Majesty, but the young daughter of the lower official looked at each other, crying and begging the lower official to leave one for her. Xia Guan loved this young girl very much, and his heart relented for a while, so he left one for her, and hoped that the Hou Ye would atone for his sins. ”

Qin Chongzhou saw that Su Kantai said with sincere affection, and the ridicule in his heart was not obvious, and said: "It is understandable that Lord Su has mercy on the girl, and presumably Your Majesty will not be guilty if he knows it." ”

Su Kantai also said: "Since Hou Ye likes it, Xia Guan will definitely try his best to satisfy Hou Ye." It's just that the little girl is pampered by the lower officials, and if the lower officials ask her, I'm afraid she won't give it. If the Hou Ye came forward, the little girl would have admired the prestige of the Hou Ye for a long time, and she would be willing to offer it if she wanted to come. ”

Su Kantai suddenly had a plan.

This Protector is in the year of marriage, and he has not yet married a wife, if he becomes the father-in-law of the dignified Protector of the Country, let alone this Jiangzhong City, how many people in the entire Tanglin Kingdom can give him a face? When the time comes, someone else is rushing to tie himself up, and he still needs to spend so much treasure to dredge up the relationship? When the time comes, I must let those old things in the imperial court spit out twice as much as what I gave them!
