Chapter 45: Salutation
Anping Fang Qi House
Yan Li came to visit, and Mrs. Qi asked Qi Tanying to receive him. The two are unmarried couples, Yan Li often comes to the door, and the people of the Qi family have long regarded him as their own master. When the two were alone, no one stepped forward to disturb them.
"I didn't expect Gui Zhiyao to mess with the wood procurement of Tangshan Palace, and it wasn't turned out ten years ago, could it be that Wu Anhou helped cover up the incriminating evidence?" Qi Tanying was very puzzled.
Yan Li shook his head, "Gui Zhiyao is dead, this is destined to be a confused account." β
Qi Tanying glanced at him, "The account book was found by the prince, can it be fake?" β
Hearing her mention Wu Han, Yan Li suddenly smiled meaninglessly, "Ah Tan trusts him very much?" β
"Where did Lord Yan see that?"
She and Wu Han have just had a few encounters, but thinking that he and Jiang Liangyu are friends, and he was once elected to Danfeng Academy, such a person should not be able to do anything to frame him.
She didn't understand why Yan Li asked this, and heard him say again: "We have already made a marriage, and we will get married in February next year. β
The eyes of the two were staggered, and Qi Tanying could see dissatisfaction in his eyes. said casually: "It's just a title, why should Lord Yan mind." β
"Then what does Yan have to mind?"
Qi Tanying was speechless for a moment, and Yan Li said again: "Ah Tan calls Jiang Dagongzi as a good cousin, Jiang Sangongzi as a third cousin, and Wu Shaoqing as the prince, but I can only get the title of Yan Dazi." β
He slowly approached her and whispered in her ear, "It's reasonable, shouldn't Ah Tan change her name?" β
Qi Tanying had never been so close to any man, so close that she could feel his warm breath behind her ears, and her cheeks couldn't help but burn.
"What do you want?" She threw the question back.
"I'm quiet." Yan Li chuckled.
Qi Tanying instantly understood what he meant, followed his advice, and called out for silence. Yan Li frowned when he heard this, and he always felt that this "quiet" sound was not as pleasant as Lord Yan's ears.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but laugh dumbly, he was already past his age, but he was still like a teenager, entangled in his fiancΓ©e's title to him was not close enough, it was really unstable!
He spread his hands a little helplessly: "Forget it, you can call it whatever you want in the future." β
Qi Tanying nodded, in fact, she also felt that the words of calling him were a little awkward.
The title was passed for the time being, and Yan Li said that after the remaining officials of the Cangzhou corruption case were tried, the case of the collapse of the Jiaozhi Hall would be closed.
When he saw Qi Tanying's worried expression, he comforted: "Don't worry, Uncle Qi has made more contributions than demerits in this case, and the Qi family will not suffer." β
Hearing him say this, Qi Tanying's hanging heart was put down.
"Thank you."
She sincerely thanked Yan Li, although the duties of the officials of Dali Temple during the investigation of the case, Yan Li revealed a lot of important information to her in private, so that their family would not be dizzy and rushed to the doctor.
"That's what I'm supposed to do."
Hearing this, Qi Tanying suddenly asked, "If I hadn't married you, would you also help the Qi family?" β
Yan Li thought about it seriously and shook his head, "I don't know." β
He had never thought about this problem, when he went to Jiang's house to see her, he only saw the first sight, and the heart that had been calm for thirty years was no longer calm.
There is a voice in my heart that keeps saying, it's her, it's her.
Now that he has successfully set a marriage contract with her, as soon as the marriage date comes, the two will become married, and she will be his Yan wife at that time. Thinking of this, Yan Li only felt that the fatigue of running around for days was swept away.
A few days later, Wu Han, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, presented the confessions of the people involved in the Cangzhou corruption case to Emperor Yuan He, and Emperor Yuan He was furious again. The head of the head was killed, the exile of the exile, and several officials of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Household were also sent down.
However, Emperor Yuan He has always been a king with clear rewards and punishments, and he will never be spared if he is guilty, and he will not hesitate to reward his merits. Wu Han handled the Cangzhou corruption case very beautifully, and Emperor Yuan He felt that he could not treat him badly.
It happened that the right waiter of the household department was involved in the Cangzhou corruption case, and after being disposed of, the position of the right waiter was vacant, and Emperor Yuan He planned to let Wu Han go up directly.
Such a commendation made the jaws of the courtiers drop, and some people immediately stood up against it.
"Shengshang, the minister thinks that Wu Shaoqing is still young and not enough to serve as the right attendant of the household department." It was Kong Hewen who said this, and his words were straightforward without a trace of tactfulness.
As soon as he finished speaking, a few more people took it over, and they all said, "The minister seconded the proposal!" β
They all disagree with Wu Han's appointment as the right attendant of the household department.
Emperor Yuanhe's gaze swept over several people, "You Aiqing really just think that he is too young to be competent?" β
Kong Hewen said: "Wu Shaoqing has handled all major torture cases, and has never been in contact with the affairs of the six departments. β
Kong Hewen's words were clearly slapping Wu Han in the face, which meant that he was a person without virtue and talent.
After hearing this, Emperor Yuanhe looked at Wu Han, "Wu Aiqing, can you agree with Master Kong's judgment of you?" β
Wu Han responded, "Master Kong is reasonable, the minister really doesn't understand the official affairs of the household department. He stated the facts in a flat tone, and his simple sentence made Kong Hewen and the others a little confused.
However, Emperor Yuanhe smiled when he heard this, "Aiqing doesn't have to be arrogant, although you are young, you are not steady, and the court needs a rising star like you." β
After speaking, he gave an order: "Since the household department can't go, let's go to the Imperial City Division!" β
This will of Emperor Yuanhe shocked everyone, but the person concerned, Wu Han, was very calm. The crown prince's eyes fell on him, and he was worthy of being the person his father valued.
Thinking of Emperor Yuanhe's reuse of him, the prince couldn't help but think of Wu Han's life experience.
Although Wu Han is the son of the Marquis of Pingning, he has never been valued by the Marquis of Pingning. If it weren't for the fact that Marquis Pingning only had such a son under his knees, the title of Marquis of Pingning would definitely not be inherited by Wu Han.
The reason for all this should start from the case of the rebellion of the five kings twenty years ago.
At that time, when the first emperor was still in power, Emperor Yuanhe was just an inconspicuous ordinary prince, and he was only named the king of the county after the marriage, and he took his new wife to the fief soon after the marriage.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he left Kyoto, Kyoto was in chaos.
The first emperor was dying, but he refused to give power to the reverse prince, and even in order to suppress the reverse prince, he instructed the king of Qi, the king of Yong and the reverse prince to fight.
The rebel prince then enlisted the king of Wei and the king of Qing to fight. The five kings competed, the king of Qi and the king of Yong were defeated and killed, and the first emperor wanted to abolish the position of the prince on the grounds that the prince was killing his siblings.
How could the rebel prince be captured, and after consulting with the other two younger brothers, he decided to strike first and force the first emperor to abdicate by force.
But Jiang is still old and spicy, and the rebellion against the prince was finally suppressed by the first emperor, and the rebel prince and King Wei and King Qing were killed on the spot, and the rest of the party did not escape.
