When he came over, Zhao Gongzhuo, who couldn't help but be proud, was rare to finally have a smile during this period of time.

She raised her eyebrows.

I didn't notice that one of the people on the side, dressed as a maid, slowly retreated.

Zhu Ling watched Ma Lanfang withdraw, thinking that she had never seen the world, let alone murder, so she timidly ran out and vomited. I can't help but sneer: "Waste!"

This did not affect the people present.

Naturally, she didn't know that Ma Lanfang ran away and never came back, and they didn't hide the assassination of Liu Ba and Liu Yingqi, and in less than ten days, the news reached Liu Tingyu's ears!

......

This time, the 2,000 troops brought by Liu Yingqi were preparing to take over Yuliang City, but they were surrounded and annihilated by the 3,000 fast cavalry secretly transferred from Zhongwei!

By the time the infantry battalion reacted, it was too late. It's just that the commander ordered in advance, the whole army marched, and less than 20,000 people rushed to Jincheng.

In the living room of the palace, Lian Kang sat there waiting for news, and when he saw Zhao Gongzhuo coming in, he clenched his fists: "Lian Kang see the county lord!"

"Well, Lord Lian, it's hard work, it's too late, I've been waiting for this day, I've been waiting too long!" Zhao Gongzhuo said proudly, coming over and sitting in the position where only the prince usually sits, she looked extremely comfortable, and even felt that she was very suitable for sitting here!

The first URL

Lian Kang nodded and smiled: "That is, now that the big thing has been accomplished, the form of the world is about to change, believe that I will build a big building to dominate the world, just around the corner!"

Zhao Gongzhuo nodded in agreement, which had an unprecedented comfort, and she asked, "Brother Huang means to let me be in charge of Hexi?"

Lian Kang said with a smile: "I'll go to Beiye, if Zhou Peiyan talks, then Beiye should be very fast." ”

"What if she doesn't cooperate?"

has plans for this, Lian Kang said: "There is nothing difficult to do in Beiye, and Zhou Peiyan is not an obstacle!"

"Send me that woman, and I'm going to make her a dog by my side. I'd like to see who would be more comfortable with making a dog for her?" leaning back against the soft backrest, she enjoyed the moment.

"Father-in-law, didn't you say that the woman was left to me, I also want to play with the woman of the Fenghua List!" Dong Wu shouted there, no matter how big or small!

Several people around him were all heavyweights of the Flying Eagle Division's Daredevil team, and their status was not below Dong Wu, so they all glared at him immediately.

Even Zhao Gongzhuo couldn't help but be a little annoyed by his rudeness, and just as he was about to open his mouth, he felt that something had suddenly changed in the guest hall.

Whew——

The eyes of the crowd widened.

Lian Kang lowered his head and looked at his chest.

A sword came out of nowhere, and a sword broke through his chest and drilled out a hole the size of a bowl! Then it flew up in an arc and wiped Zhao Gongzhuo's face, and directly broke through the roof and flew away......

"Father-in-law!"

"Si Cheng!"

"Ahh

This instantaneous change caught everyone off guard!

They saw the size of the wound on Lord Si Cheng's chest!

You can even see the scene behind him through the wound!

"Your Excellency!"

Shocked to look at his chest.

Ten thousand——

God—

Machine——

Lian Kang's eyes widened and he used almost all his strength to shout these three words unwillingly.

Zhao Gongzhuo, who only reacted at this moment, touched his bleeding face and saw Lian Kang fall down like that!

I was stunned and didn't know what was going on, and I cried in fright!

Wow –

......

......

meanwhile

Jian'an,

I was annoyed by the recent events, so I came out to wander around, and I didn't want to go to the imperial garden to see those concubines acting coquettishly, so I walked to the square in front of the Daqing Palace, which was wide and bright, making him feel like he was standing up to the sky.

Although you can't shout at such a throat to vent your emotions for the sake of your face, standing on the steps of this square and looking down, you can't help but think of the grand occasion when you ascended the throne!

The civil and military officials knelt on the square, he was above 10,000 people, listening to the voice, my emperor, long live, long live, long live!

It was a very refreshing time.

When you close your eyes, you can still hear the blessing of longevity with heaven and earth.

At that time, he was full of spirits, and the royal fan scarf was the first peak in his life!

For Zhao Su, he has a lot of glorious things and a lot of regrets, but he can also ignore these regrets and raise his head to see his ancestors!

Because in his hands, the foundation of the Zhao family has been maximized, and even, in the near future, it is not a dream to dominate the world!

The last wish of his father, Emperor Wu Emperor Zhao Wucheng, will be fulfilled by him, the best son!

Only now, he has one of his biggest regrets. That is, in the future, a hundred years later, who will inherit the foundation of the Zhao family? There is no doubt that it is his own son Zhao Ling. But now, Zhao Ling's life and death are uncertain, which makes him fall into a gloomy and frightened situation.

In fact, even if there is no evidence, he can guess who it is with his wisdom, but this kind of thing is neither unspeakable nor conjectural.

It's like being in a house, everyone knows who and what kind of person is, and once you lose money, you will always guess who will do this kind of thing. But without evidence, there is no way to put that matter on the table!

This makes him a ninety-five honor, and it is inevitable that he will have the feeling of being dumb and suffering from coptis and indescribable.

When Dongyi Taibai came to Jian'an, he once summoned Dongyi Taibai into the palace, and at that time, the frivolous swinger said when he was drunk: "Come out and mix, sooner or later you will have to pay it back." ”

At that time, I thought that this was said to Wang Dingyang, but now that I think about it, maybe I just looked at Wang Dingyang and said it!

A guard commander in the palace hurried over, clasped his fists and whispered: "Your Majesty, last night, Chen Yuanliang of the Ministry of Rites fell into the water and drowned. According to the people in the house, he was drunk and accidentally fell off the Luhua Bridge. ”

"Who? Why haven't you heard of it?"

"Lang official of the Ministry of Rites. ”

"Lang Guan?" Zhao Su couldn't help frowning: "What do you mean?"

"He is in charge of the personnel arrangement of the mission this time. ”

Zhao Su was taken aback and looked at him: "For such a big matter, the Ministry of Rites arranged for a Lang official to do it?"

The commander hesitated slightly, looked at Gonggong Li who was serving on the side, and then continued: "This is an opportunity to show his face, and there are many specialties of Sanqin, so you can take this opportunity to go over and get some things, so many people will also arrange for people to enter the envoy group." ”

The Emperor looked at the Commander with wide eyes.

He didn't stop talking, but continued to say: "Just like the last time Master Gu went to Xiyong, although there were not many people who came back, a family sent people came back and brought back five pieces of Hetian jade, just these five pieces of jade, sold for 100,000 taels, a million profits. ”

"Bastard! Is the envoys child's play, their way of making a fortune? Check it out for me, and I will not tolerate those who are caught. ”

"This ......" even the commander was embarrassed.

Father-in-law Li is serious and stands steadily, as if he is an old man.

But under the imperceptible robe, the two thin old legs were trembling.

"Emperor Qiqi, the palace lord of Jiying Hall is waiting over there, he investigated this matter. ”

"Xuan. ”

After a while, the palace guard came over, it seemed that because of the seriousness of the situation, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed as soon as he met: "Minister, palace guard see the emperor, my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

Anyway, he was also an important minister, so he came over and knelt down when he met, and Zhao Su also felt that this matter was a little strange, so he asked him to get up and talk back.

After the palace lord got up, he reported the report: "Your Majesty, the matter you asked the ministers to investigate has not yet found out anything, and the clues have been broken." ”

"What?" Zhao Su thought about it and immediately understood that the matter was with Chen Yuanliang, the official of the Ministry of Rites. After thinking for a moment, he looked at the palace guard and asked: "The envoy group doesn't care about such a big matter, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites doesn't care? Let a Lang official take care of it? Hmm? Are you afraid that Hu Bingzhong's head will make too much trouble? You can check it for me! Who it is, and you can check it out for me! Otherwise, you are the only one who asks!"

Hearing this, the palace guard should have a sad face, afraid to do more. But Lord Gong didn't mean to panic at all, he just hugged his fists in some embarrassment and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is not so simple, please listen to the report of the ministers!"

"Speak. ”

"Yes!" The palace guard walked into Zhao Su for a few minutes, and said in a voice that was not too loud: "Your Majesty, do you remember the fact that Liu Tingyu spent money to buy a speech official before?"

"Buying a speech official?" At this time, Zhao Su's previous angry thoughts immediately retreated a lot, and he had even more doubts, and asked Xiang Gong Bao: "Does this matter still have anything to do with the purchase of words?"

"Yes, but, the relationship is not too big, but Liu Tingyu's way of buying a speech official is also more in the Ministry of Rites, and he is also a Lang official, named Feng Meng. ”

"Another Lang official?"

"Yes," Gong Bao explained: "This kind of thing is originally a game within a game, once it is done well, it will be curryed favor left and right, and once it is not done well, it will be stabbed left and right." Therefore, ordinary people dare not do it, but those who dare to do it are all at risk. Just like last time, the emperor wanted to investigate this matter, then Feng Meng drowned in his own pond that night, and when he checked, Weichen could only find out a little bit from his account book. But most people, in fact, have no way to trace it. ”

"You're saying he's just a matchmaker?"

"The Emperor Shengming!"

Touching his beard, savoring it, and thinking about it, Zhao Su looked at the palace guard: "Liu Tingyu's matter is on the road of money, and it can be forgiven, but the matter of the envoy group is for Ling'er! It's different! For such a big matter, the Ministry of Rites will leave it to a Lang official to handle? How can there be nothing in the middle? What about Hu Bingzhong, check it out for me!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, Weichen has found out some clues, and today I will report this matter to the emperor!"

glared at the palace guard, didn't you say anything earlier?

"Speak!"

Before Gong Bao could say anything, Gonggong Li behind the emperor was already trembling and almost unsteady on his feet.

"Your Majesty, the matter of the envoy delegation visit should have been done by Hu Bingzhong, but the envoy was related to the national system, so five years ago, Lord Ding Weiding, who was the right prime minister, once suggested that the affairs of the envoy need to be issued by the Ministry of Rites, Shangxi Mansion, and Chongwen Hall for review, and then the prime minister himself can approve the envoy. ”

"Well," Zhao Su nodded, it was indeed a matter of time, and at that time, it was also for prudence and good relations with those countries that sent envoys, so Ding Wei's opinion was adopted.

"Your Majesty, although this matter is to make the review strict, it will also make all parts have the problem of acting beyond their authority, such as the Ministry of Rites, after Prime Minister Ding Cheng's advice, the list issued by the Ministry of Rites was detained by Gu Yuanqing Gu when it was submitted to Shangxi Mansion, he thought that some of them were not suitable, so he eliminated them, replaced some new people, and presented them to Chongwen Palace. As a result, Lord Gu and Lord Wen had a dispute, and then Prime Minister Ding Cheng came forward to solve it, and decided to let several families sit together to discuss the list of envoys. ”

Zhao Su nodded, the old Prime Minister Ding Wei had also told him about this matter, saying that the review could not be reviewed and approved layer by layer, which was too slow, so the officials of several families should be called together to review together.

Gong Bao continued: "Then when it was time for everyone to sit together, Prime Minister Ding asked them to issue a list, naturally each with their own people, and Prime Minister Ding's solution was to double the size of the mission and bring all the extra people with them!"

Zhao Su, who couldn't help frowning, tasted the taste of Gong Bao's words, and looked at him with a strange expression.

Seeing that Zhao Su already understood, naturally he didn't have to hide it too much, so Gong Bao said bluntly:

Then, Prime Minister Ding also recommended a few people, for example, his son-in-law and daughter, who were also among them, to envoy to Qingzhou. ”

Then Gong Bao coughed, hunched his waist and clenched his fists, as if waiting for Zhao Su's furious anger, and added a sentence later:

"That time when he came back, Chen Zicheng, the son-in-law of Prime Minister Ding, bought a five-entry house in the west of the capital, and according to the news obtained by the minister, it was given to him by Jiang Yu from Qingzhou. In the past few years, when Chen Zicheng was in office, there were no less than 60 people in Qingzhou who passed the scientific examination and entered our Dajian as an official!"

"Bastard!"
