readx;
Even the slightly depressed autumn mood in the north can not hide the solemn atmosphere of the Great Liang Palace, especially when the prince is in charge of the country today, no one dares to be negligent, whether it is to provoke Emperor Liang or offend the prince is unwise, so everyone is cautious and only wants to do their duty, this critical time, any small omission may be infinitely magnified. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Guo Huai, the Duke of Yasukuni, paced and walked on the deep path of the palace, the tall palace wall pulled out a long shadow, making people feel a strong coldness, and they couldn't help but shiver, but as one of the four auxiliary ministers, Guo Huai had long adapted to the bleakness of the Daliang Palace that seemed to never fade away, and the vermilion palace wall that must be passed through to enter the palace did not know how many people's blood had been stained, there were high-ranking cabinet officials, palace maids and concubines, and even rumored that the body of the emperor of the previous dynasty was filled in the foundation.
Two small yellow doors trembling through a blood-red palace wall, it is rumored that the emperor of the previous dynasty liked to torture and kill the palace maids, smeared their blood on the wall, so this palace wall looks blood-red, usually very few people are willing to pass by here, but pity these two little eunuchs every day to lead a few auxiliary ministers to see the prince, every time they pass by here and think of the stories that circulate up and down in the palace, they can't help but tremble.
Guo Huai is very old, his eyes are long and drooping, but his eyes are clear, he looked coldly at the two small yellow doors in front of him, and then looked at the blood-red palace wall around him, and said coldly: "It is true that there is blood on the palace wall here, but it was twenty years ago, the blood of the traitor Shen Shiyu, this is to establish the prestige of the royal family, and it is also to deter Xiaoxiao, if anyone dares to chew the root of his tongue in the future, the old man will not spare it!"
The two little yellow men knelt down in fear and confessed, Guo Huai waved his hand impatiently, and reprimanded: "Don't delay the time, take the old man to see His Royal Highness the Prince, the other adults are afraid that they will have to wait." ”
When Guo Huai walked into the study of the crown prince Li Zhi, several other people had already arrived, and after Guo Huai seriously saluted Li Zhi, he whispered to the other people.
Li Zhi chuckled and said: "Lord Guogong doesn't need to be polite, this palace lacks experience, and he still needs a major minister like you to mention something." ”
Guo Huai shook his head and said: "Your Highness is humble, these highnesses have worked tirelessly to deal with the appropriate benefits of state affairs, and we have seen it for all to see." ”
Li Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, taking power for the first time, in addition to excitement, he may not be without panic, at this time, even a very ordinary sentence can definitely reduce his pressure a lot.
Guo Huai was the oldest, and he was the first to speak: "Everyone, is there a new situation in the military situation on the front line?"
Chu Yuan, the secretary of the military department, was full of exhaustion, Emperor Liang was in the limelight in the north, and handed over the trivial and complicated things such as providing intelligence to himself, and the effort he had spent too much recently, handed over a few pages of paper, and said slowly: "The situation ahead is still the same, the Liang has driven the Hu people to the edge of the Hulunge grassland, and now the Hu people are making the last resistance in Pegaso." There is no shortage of grain and grass in the rear, and victory can be expected. ”
Several other people were naturally convinced by this Shangshu's inference, and couldn't help but show joy between their eyebrows, Li Zhi nodded, and said softly: "Lord Chu's hard work is in the eyes of the palace, and when my father returns to Beijing, the palace will definitely ask for credit for Lord Chu." ”
Chu Yuan smiled reluctantly and bowed his hand to thank him.
Since the most important event of the Northern Expedition has become seventy percent, in comparison, other things are much easier, including the Southern Cao Yun, the Northwest Mutual Market, and other matters that had to be discussed for several days in the past have also been quickly decided, after all, it is wartime, and efficiency is very important.
Yu Shouchou, who was thin and small, stepped forward and said to Li Zhi: "Your Highness, yesterday the Imperial Procuratorate sent another official document to report the progress of the investigation, and asked Your Highness to make a decision as soon as possible, so that the people below know how to do it." ”
Li Zhi frowned, pinched the thin pages in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "A few days ago, the Emperor Liang Yushi had already sent a secret fold, but my father was on the Northern Expedition and had no intention of dealing with this matter, so he only said that I wanted to discuss with you more and make my own decisions, I don't know what you think?"
Yu Shou said with a straight face: "Your Highness, now that the evidence is conclusive, the Hebisheng firm sold tributes overseas without permission, and also colluded with Yingzhou to sell prohibited weapons, salt and iron, etc. to the barbarians in the northwest, which must be strictly investigated." ”
Guo Huai's eyebrows jumped, and he shook his head and said: "Lord Yu said too much, Hebisheng is an imperial businessman, and even if he is guilty of selling tribute, it is also a royal internal affair, as for the sale of contraband, it is just written in an account, Lord Liang also said, it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, if it is dealt with in this way, I am afraid that it will hurt the hearts of many merchants, Lord Liang should not forget that most of the military rations in the northwest and Mobei are purchased and transported by them." ”
Yu Shouzhuo frowned and said: "The merits and demerits cannot be offset, what Lord Guogong said and what I said are two different things." ”
Guo Huai still had a rebuttal, and Li Zhi hurriedly waved his hand to reassure: "The two adults are dedicated to the country, and they can't quarrel." Chu Shangshu, Wang University, I don't know what the two of you think?"
Wang Yangming smiled calmly and said: "The minister thinks that what Lord Yu said has some truth, merit is merit, and it is excessive, the two cannot be mixed together to say, it is true that He Bisheng has merit to the country, but Da Liang has never been stingy, if He Bisheng is really guilty, Da Liang should also seriously investigate and deal with it, and clear rewards and punishments are the way to be a king." ”
Li Zhi's eyes flashed, for the way of the king, is this sentence implying something? .
Chu Yuan coughed a few times and said in a deep voice: "The minister thinks that since the stall has been spread out and the momentum is there, if it ends hastily, it will really damage the royal majesty." Seeing Guo Huai's brows furrowed even more, he said: "But the proportions of it still have to be mastered, and it is unwise to really get rid of those that will cause great turmoil." ”
Yu Shou said toughly: "The prince committed a crime and committed the same crime as the common people, Lord Chu said that it was really unwise because he choked on food!"
Guo Huai also burst out of anger and said: "Lord Yu doesn't eat other people's fireworks? Daliang doesn't know how many people rely on Hebisheng to eat, Lord Yu is selfless with an iron face, how can many people live!"
Yu Shouzhuo snorted coldly: "Why does Lord Guogong have to hide it, I know in my heart who the owner of Hebisheng is, and the big mansion in Luliu Lane also depends on Hebisheng to live a nourishing life, and I have also heard of it." ”
Guo Huai was furious, waved his sleeves and said: "It's really nonsense, it's really nonsense, the old man's family is not short of those few dollars!"
Yu Shou was born in poverty, he has always been upright, he hates the collusion between officials and businessmen and the privileges of wealthy families, and he is also sneering, Wang Yangming tugged at his sleeve, shook his head and signaled not to say more.
Chu Yuan couldn't hide his tiredness, and said: "This matter still needs to be decided by His Highness, Your Majesty is watching, and all the ministers in the court are also watching, Your Highness must be cautious." ”
Li Zhi pursed his lips and lowered his head to touch and think.
Guo Huai bowed and said: "You can't break without a plan, Your Highness must be cautious, you must know that there is no big mistake in being careful, it is better to let it go, after all, Your Majesty will return to the dynasty in a few days."
Li Zhi's heart jumped a few times, his heart was full of bitterness, power is addictive, and the feeling of pointing out the country is too intoxicating. It's just that when Emperor Liang comes back, he will go back to the prince's mansion to study hard, and now Li Ling is in the limelight, but don't be caught in the wrong place, he thought about it and ordered: "Lord Wang, prepare to draft a decree." ”
Wang Yangming picked up the pen and waited for Li Zhi to make a decision.
Li Zhi said slowly: "Zhu Qing has worked tirelessly and devoted himself to the country, which is really a blessing for the country. However, this case is a very important matter, and Wang Qing and others should investigate it in detail, and should not make a hasty decision, and give Liang Qing the right to make arbitrary decisions, and Wang Qing will make good use of it. ”
Yu Shouzhuo hesitated for a moment or shook his head and didn't speak, just sighed, there is a big stake in the previous sentence, check it carefully, how can Liang Rang make good use of that arbitrary power according to his surname.
Guo Huai and Chu Yuan glanced at each other, and hurriedly staggered, Li Zhi deserved to be taught by Su University Scholar, and he had already understood the golden mean.
Wang Yangming did it in one go, put down the pen and dried the ink, faced the south, and thought to himself, boy, the old man can't help you, you can do it yourself.
................................................................................................
Recently, everyone in the Metropolitan Procuratorate felt that the two deputy chiefs were very strange, often whispering together, and then sighing again, and by the way, they would blame Tang Shu, a strong and good guard.
Wang Defu felt that he had been suffering recently, and said with a sad face: "It's troublesome now, I will definitely make trouble when I go back, think about the old man's age and he hasn't even accepted a concubine, you know the old man's status in the family." ”
Chu Nan bared his teeth and grinned: "You have already said this 1,158 times, can you change the sentence! I'm not the same, she has to be strong-skinned and thin-skinned, and now she has completely offended her." ”
Tang Shu reminded: "The young master has also said this sentence more than a thousand times. ”
Chu Nan kicked Tang with hatred, and said angrily: "Get out, it's not your fault, why are you sending it so fast? ”
Tang Chop said bitterly: "Is it my fault that I'm not lazy?"
Chu Nan was stunned for a while, and drank tea depressedly.
This is Wang Buregret coming in, looking at Wang Defu and Chu Nan, who have been a little inexplicable recently, a little strangely, and said: "What's wrong with the two of you? By the way, the news has come from the capital, and the messenger is already outside the door." ”
Chu Nan and Wang Defu laughed dryly, signaling that they were fine, and Wang Defu suddenly reacted, "Messenger, take me to see him, quickly!"
Chu Nan also came to his senses, and said that it was not good, and Yangmei's reply also arrived, so he also jumped up and ran outside the king's gate, and ran over from the fat Wang Defu.
Wang Buregret sighed: "These two are really anxious, and it is a great fortune for the country to serve the public wholeheartedly!"
Chu Nan and Wang Defu really found a reply from the official document, and asked Wang to send the official document to Liang Rang first, and the two would go later.
Chu Nan opened the envelope, looked at the pile of confetti inside in a daze, and muttered: "Good guy, this is to break my body into ten thousand pieces!"
Wang Defu looked at the little fairy's seemingly tender and sweet letter that was actually meaningful, and felt that the little fairy was going to use a soft knife to deal with herself, but this one was even more terrifying. Hearing Chu Nan's words, he swallowed his mouth and sneered disdainfully: "Be content, you, it's better than my Ling Chi execution!"
