Chapter 48: Fei Caihe blows the wind on the pillow again
Ten days later, Bianjing:
Zichen Palace.
Emperor Renzong sat behind the dragon case with a happy face.
"Everyone, Bao Aiqing has recovered the national treasure Zijin pot the day before yesterday, and everyone who wants to steal the national treasure has been captured, I am very pleased. Because of the relationship between the two countries, all Aiqing people are concerned about this matter. After the dispersal of the dynasty, I still had something to say with Bao Aiqing and Li Aiqing, and the families of the Qing Dynasty could go back to their respective homes. ”
"Thank you, long live my emperor."
"Long live the ministers." The crowd fell to their knees.
The Emperor got up and left.
A eunuch on duty had already walked up to Bao Zheng and Li Hui.
"Lord Bao and Master Li, you can go to the Long Live Imperial Study with the slave maid to meet each other."
"There is Father-in-law." Bao Zheng nodded.
The two did not dare to get too close to the emperor and followed the emperor from a distance.
Not long after Bao Zheng and Li Hui entered the imperial study, Qinglian of Caihe Palace hurriedly ran back to Caihe Palace.
"Qi Yu Niangniang, Lord Bao of Kaifeng Mansion and Master Li of the Criminal Department were called to the imperial study by Banzai, presumably to discuss the affairs of Uncle Guo and Uncle Cousin, can Niangniang go over?"
Fei Caihe's face was solemn.
Although the emperor has promised not to punish his brother severely, it is still difficult for her heart to fall to the bottom, Fei Shi is dead, and this revenge must be remembered on Bao Zheng's head.
However, at this moment, what she is most concerned about is not Fei Yong's life and death, but another matter, that is, she recommended her cousin Shen Pu to the emperor to take up the post of prefect of Chuzhou, I don't know if the emperor will finally implement it, and whether Bao Zheng and others will agree.
Although Shen Pu is very knowledgeable, he must not have obtained fame, and suddenly sitting in the position of this prefect, I am afraid that even the emperor will worry that the Manchu Dynasty will not accept the civil and military affairs.
"Qinglian, you go and listen to it on behalf of the palace, remember, don't be discovered by anyone." Fei Caihe commanded.
"The slave obeys." Qinglian obediently agreed, and ran out.
In the imperial study, the emperor sat behind the desk, looking at Bao Zheng and Li Hui, and he didn't find where to lead the topic for a long time.
"Bao Aiqing has worked hard all the way to recover the national treasure this time, and I will definitely reward him in the future."
"Wechen dare not accept the reward of Long Live Living, as long as he lives up to the trust of Long Life, Wechen is very pleased." Bao Zheng lowered his head and said.
"Master Bao solved the case quickly, and the officials were also very admired." Li Hui said, "It's just that I don't know what instructions Long Live summoned Weichen to come?" ”
Li Hui asked knowingly.
"Naturally, it's about Fei Yong." The emperor said, and turned to look at Bao Zheng, "Bao Aiqing, although Fei Yong is suspected of stealing national treasures, he must be an old minister, and he has not caused major losses, so I intend to remove all his official positions, demote him to a commoner, and drive him out of the capital." I don't know what the two lovers think? ”
Bao Zheng lowered his head and glanced at Li Hui.
"Hooray." Li Hui was well aware of the emperor's intentions, and rushed in front of Bao Zheng and said, "Although Lord Fei is at fault, he must have been kind to the first emperor, and he belongs to the emperor. In the opinion of Wei Chen, this matter only needs to be known by you, me, the monarch and the minister, and do not make a noise in order to save the royal face. ”
Bao Zheng sneered, but did not speak.
"Li Aiqing's words are very kind. In this case, Li Aiqing was ordered to be sentenced at the Criminal Department on a certain date, and someone was sent to supervise Fei Yong's departure from Beijing, and he was not allowed to stay without reason. The Emperor said.
"Wechen obeys."
"There is another matter, that is, those who follow Fei Yong and other cadres will also be handed over to Li Aiqing's criminal department and act according to the law." The Emperor said again.
"Wechen obeys." Li Hui said again.
"By the way, Bao Aiqing, I heard that the murderer who killed Fei Shi in prison has also been captured by you, but it can be handed over to Li Aiqing to dispose of."
Bao Zheng's body moved.
"Long live, Wechen has a love in return."
"Speak."
"I think that although Tang Lu Bu killed Fei Shi in prison, it was purely a mistake, and Fei Shi died under the jailer's knife. Moreover, Fei Shi and others deceived Tang Lubu first, and this person was not popular, so he would punish him. This time, Weichen escorted out the treasure and returned to Beijing, and relied on the protection of this person on the way to arrive in Beijing safely. From this distance, Weichen thought that he could be lightly dismissed, or even offset by merit and demerits, so as to show long live generosity. Bao Zheng said.
The Emperor frowned.
The things he wants to mention next still need to be discussed with this Bao Zheng, a mere martial artist, it doesn't matter whether he lets him go or kills, so he nodded.
This time, Li Hui on the side smiled slyly at Bao Zheng.
Bao Zheng pretended not to see it, and told Cihui and others about it.
"I have also heard of this princess of the Western Xia Kingdom, but I never thought that this person would also help, since this is the case, I ask Bao Aiqing to deal with it at his discretion, and I can ask the household department to allocate some silver taels as a commendation." The Emperor said.
"Wechen thanked the monks in the Qinglian Nunnery, long live." Bao Zheng said.
The emperor nodded and said to Li Hui, "If Li Aiqing has nothing else to do, he can return to his house immediately." ”
"Wechen retired." Li Hui was relieved.
Bao Zheng knew what the emperor meant to leave alone.
The candidate for the prefect of Chuzhou has not yet been determined, and the emperor did not approve the Hu Cheng recommended by himself, so it must be related to this matter. Sure enough, the emperor mentioned Shen Pu's name.
"This Shen Pu is the cousin of the imperial concubine, I know that he is quite talented, although he has no fame, but I know that the Fu Cheng of the Chuzhou Mansion is a student of Aiqing, and it should not be wrong to have this person to assist. If Bao Aiqing is still not at ease, he can go to Chuzhou for a period of time as the post of supervising the imperial history, which can be regarded as a move to share worries for the country. ”
Bao Zheng's black face was a little ugly.
"Long live, this Shen Pu is a relative of Fei Shi and Fei Yong, long live sending this person to Chuzhou, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the people to accept it, and it is not conducive to management."
"I have also thought about it, so I thought of asking Aiqing to be the supervisor of the imperial history, specializing in Henan and Anhui, secretly visiting the people, punishing corrupt officials at all levels, and hoping that Aiqing will quit his hard work and share his worries for me." The emperor no longer gave Bao Zheng a chance to refute.
Bao Zheng sighed secretly.
sigh that the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are still inferior to the imperial concubines of a harem.
"That being the case, the Wechen Decree is. It's just that there are still a few backlogs in Kaifeng Mansion, and the post of supervising the imperial history needs to wait for Weichen to be busy before he can take office. ”
"Bao Aiqing can dispose of it by herself." Seeing that Bao Zheng didn't say anything anymore, the emperor was overjoyed.
Qinglian, who had been hiding behind the screen, heard this and ran back to Caihe Palace in a puff of smoke.
Fei Caihe was satisfied, although he failed to keep his brother's official position, but he asked his cousin to sit in the prefect's mansion, and he could continue to speak in front of the emperor one day, and sooner or later he asked his brother to return to Beijing.
thought that after the emperor sent Bao Zheng away, he would definitely come to Caihe Palace, so he hurriedly sat in front of the mirror and put on makeup.
As expected, it didn't take long for the emperor to arrive at Caihe Palace, accompanied by two eunuchs on duty.
At this time, Bao Zheng had also returned to Kaifeng Mansion.
He wanted to write a letter to Hu Cheng immediately, informing him of Shen Pu's affairs, and telling him to be careful in everything, this Shen Pu must be the cousin of the imperial concubine, and he must not be offended.
Also, this matter of Tang Lubu also needs to be comforted by his own words, but I don't know if this brave old man is willing to stay by his side.
