Du Zhongxiao looked at the newspaper and suddenly burst into laughter. Han Yueniang was weighing Qingli Chi on the side, and gave him a blank look and said, "Look at the newspaper well, suddenly laughed, scary. The court newspaper, is there still a joke inside!"

Du Zhongxiao said: "It shouldn't have happened, but this time it was a joke. There was a madman Leng Qing, whose mother was a palace maid released from the palace. He said that he was the prince left among the people. He accompanied a demon monk Gao Ji'an and cheated in the capital. There were still many people who believed in it. The Xu Xiucai who came to join the capital last year was almost cheated when he was in the capital. Not long ago, Leng Qing went to the palace guards and wanted to go to the palace to recognize his relatives, but was taken to Kaifeng Prefecture. As soon as he entered the government office, he shouted: "How can Mingyi not afford it!" Qian Mingyi, the prefect of Kaifeng, actually stood up after hearing this. Now the censors are constantly writing letters saying that Qian Mingyi has no dignity and cannot be the capital. Isn't this a joke? "

The prefect of Kaifeng was so scared that he stood up by a madman pretending to be crazy. Qian Mingyi really threw away all the faces of the imperial officials. Not to mention a prince who pretended to be a prince, even a prince, the prefect should not stand up when he arrived at the lobby of Kaifeng Prefecture. Qian Mingyi was the fastest promoted in the Song Dynasty so far, and he was so idiot. I don’t know how his official position was promoted.

Han Yueniang had no interest in Qian Mingyi, and her gossip was ignited and she asked hurriedly: "How is that prince? Is it true or not?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "How could it be true! The palace maid is still released from the palace when she is pregnant. Are all the people in the palace blind?"

Han Yueniang bit the plum and said, "That's hard to say. The world is so big, and everything is strange. When I heard the storytellers in the Vashes tell stories, there was a wealthy family. My concubine and maid were pregnant and were driven out of the house by my mistress. Many years later, my son grew up and came back to recognize his relatives, and the family reunited. - Oh, by the way, I heard a story two days ago. A maid was pregnant and suffered countless hardships when he drove out of the house. Later, my son was successful and passed the imperial examination."

Du Zhongxiao smiled and said, "Those stories told by the storytellers themselves. First, you people like to listen to them, and they make some money. Another one advises the world to mock the world that women are jealous of their family and are not good at home. How many words are true? If you don't say anything, you will rarely do that. If you don't talk about the royal family, how many people will do things so carelessly?"

Han Yueniang said: "How did you know it was compiled? The one who took the Jinshi exam was said to be famous and surnamed."

Du Zhongxiao smiled and shook his head: "Have you a name and a surname? In which year did he pass the imperial examination? Since the Tang Dynasty, there have been a list of Jinshi. Can you find it? If it was a chaotic period of the Five Dynasties, then there were all kinds of strange things. When I didn't say it, it was useless to pass the imperial examination in that era."

Han Yueniang thought for a while and said, "Of course this kind of thing is a peaceful and prosperous era. Who would like to listen to things in troubled times? - By the way, tell me about that prince, what happened later? Did the official family invite him to the palace and recognize his relatives through blood?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "How many things happen to the emperor every day? How could he be so nonsense? Qian Mingyi sentenced him to talk wildly and sent him to Ye County to dig coal. However, the case was confusing, and the court officials wrote a letter to ask for a retrial."

Han Yueniang frowned: "Why are you confused? The official did not recognize his relatives, nor did he say that he was not. Exile was a serious crime. One day in the future, maybe he really recognized him as a prince and asked him to the palace. How dare he be sentenced to a heavy sentence!"

Du Zhongxiao could only sigh: "It is because you guys love to think about it that Qian Mingyi is confused and doesn't know how his official did it. What can the emperor say when he encounters such a thing? He said that Leng Qing is not a prince, and let Kaifeng Prefecture deal with it? If this head is opened, that's fine. The palace maids released in the palace are all slaughtering, what should everyone do if everyone does this? Not to mention, as soon as the emperor opens his mouth, someone wants to think, has the palace maids been fortunate? There are a hundred mouths that cannot be explained clearly. The emperor cannot say anything in this case, and the officials can understand it, but they are afraid that they will not understand it. It is really a prince, so they will introduce them to the palace early, and all officials are in a hurry for the royal descendants. If not, it is not a crime of exile. It is worth impersonating the prince? It must be punished heavily."

Han Yueniang gave Du Zhongxiao a blank look, focused on eating plums, and ignored him. Who cares about what to do about this matter? How is Qian Mingyi considered him? He clearly wanted to hear an interesting story, and was with the women, and there was some topic of conversation.

In Han Yueniang's opinion, this matter has the potential for gossip. The prince who is wandering among the people can arouse people's interest at first. In Du Zhongxiao's opinion, it is just that the officials are incompetent and have lost their powers and deserve to be attacked by officials in the court.

Qian Mingyi's thoughts are not difficult to guess. His reason told him that this matter could never be true, so he was convicted and sentenced. In peacetime, there was no fierce palace struggle and the prince was wandering among the people. Who would believe it? For thousands of years, there were things that princes were wandering among the people, such as Emperor Xuan of Han, who was the most famous one. But no one was famous and had a surname, had a genealogy to check, and had a clear witness and life trajectory. A pregnant palace maid left the palace and gave birth to a dragon seed. When the palace was a land of rich people in the countryside, Qian Mingyi was not responsible for being a human being. Although he knew it was fake, he was still afraid that if it was true, the emperor would not say anything and he would not be able to bear it in the future. He just gave birth to a feud, no matter how he left a way out.

How can the emperor say such a thing? It is really impossible, but if you say it is fake and release so many palace maids, there will always be people who guess whether there will be real. The officials in charge will take responsibility, find out the facts, and understand the punishment of the canon. This time, I was confused and may come again in a few years. The left and right are just a charge of exile. It is good to be a prince, and it is also good to cheat food and drink among the people. In the end, in order to prevent such a thing from happening, the palace maids will not be released in the future. A virtue policy cannot be implemented.

When later generations talk about this, they often commented wisely. The emperor was confused and weak. Originally, he only said one sentence, but he didn't say it, and eventually caused many storms. Persisting in this matter was the highlight of some officials such as Bao Zheng and others at this time.

In fact, it is a simple case, which includes political factors and personal reasons for Qian Mingyi, which makes things worse. If you don’t handle this case well, it means that Qian Mingyi lacks political sensitivity and is not a material for being a minister. Of course, from the Qian family, it may be one of the reasons for looking back on this kind of thing.

Han Jiang was still the Kaifeng Prefecture's official position at this time, insisting on opposing Qian Mingyi's decision, and asked for a retrial in the previous chapter. Han Jiang had to do this, otherwise he would not be able to deal with Qian Mingyi later. Han Jiang could see clearly, and Du Zhongxiao was too lazy to care about it anymore, just treat it as a joke.

Putting down the court newspaper, Du Zhongxiao said: "Since I pacified Wang Ze, I have been peaceful in the past two years, and there is nothing wrong in the world. If it weren't for the fact that there was a foolish person in Mingyi occasionally made a joke, the court newspaper would look boring."

Han Yueniang said, "What is this? The first thing we say when we listen to the opera and sing the opera is that there is nothing wrong in the world at this time, and it is really a peaceful world. After hearing this, everyone shouted "Oh. You are an official, why do you still hope for peace in the world? Isn't it good to be an official?"

Du Zhongxiao shook his head: "With the world's greatness, how can it be peaceful? It's like a river. The wider it is, the more calm it looks. In fact, undercurrents are surging below. When it comes to rushing, it's a big deal. If it's a stream, it will churn when it encounters branches and rocks, and there will be no big deal."

Speaking of this, Du Zhongxiao sighed: "It's not that I hope something happens in the world, but that there is something happening in the world. It seems nothing happens on the surface, but that it's just that I close my eyes from top to bottom and pretending to be invisible. With China's greatness, the so-called peace is just a whitewashing of peace, and there is something happening every year."
