Chapter 323 Return to Beijing(1/2)
The dynasty meeting began, and the ministers all knew that something must have happened today. Someone who was well-informed had already learned about the Jiangnan incident.
They knew that the civil and military dispute that had just subsided was about to begin again, and that this time it might be done, it would shake the foundation of the country.
The court meeting began, and the process was first followed, but today, the process was very perfunctory and was completed quickly.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report." Han Zhang took the lead in attacking
"Oh? What's the matter with me?" Emperor Chengxing said
"Your Majesty, the left governor of Jiangsu Zhong Qin, submitted a memorial to participate in the Yongyi Hou Xu Huizu and Dingxiang Hou Yuan Wenshu. He was not allowed to abuse the lynching and privately dealt with the imperial court's official orders without the trial of the Three Courts." Han Zhangdao
"Hmm? There is such a thing? How did they deal with it privately? Because what? My dear said in detail." Emperor Chengxing said
Han Zhang began to tell the story of Jiangnan again from the beginning, which was mainly for other ministers to listen to.
The other ministers in the court looked different after hearing Han Zhang's words, because there was one who was well-informed and knew what was going on.
It was nothing more than Xu Huizu who turned against him. The group of civil servants in Jiangnan were caught off guard. The most eye-catching part of this was actually why Yuan Wenshu wanted to help.
You know, although Yuan Wenshu is a little kinship with the Xu family, he would not take such a big risk just because of the unrelated relationship. After all, it can be regarded as a massacre of the city, with thousands of people.
Some of the smart people looked at Duke Qin. They were all wondering whether Duke Qin had any intention behind this matter?
Could it be that Northwest plans to cooperate with Yongyihou? That's a big deal. Is Qin Duke really planning to do this?
As the focus of the court at this time, the Duke of Qin was like an old god, and he followed them without saying a word.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the court was particularly strange. In the whole court, only Han Zhang and Emperor Chengxing sang together. For a moment, the scene was like a group of viewers watching the two sing double acts, two clowns who were vividly sang.
After Han Zhang finished speaking, he felt something was wrong with the atmosphere, but he had no time to think about it at this time, but continued, "Your Majesty, these two people are bold and reckless and have done such a traitor. I beg your Majesty to punish these two people."
When Emperor Chengxing heard this, he was immediately angry that a Buddha ascended to heaven. What's wrong with Han Zhang? Why do you always throw this hot potato to me? Can those two be punished? One is the helmist of Jiangnan and the other is the heir of the northwest.
Don’t say that this time there is a reason, but it doesn’t happen. With my current situation, can I move these two people? Do you dare to move?
Emperor Chengxing was in a dilemma for a moment. Just when he couldn't get out of Taiwan, Qin State spoke publicly. "Cough cough, Your Majesty, I have something to do." The Duke of Qin deliberately coughed twice and left the choir.
"Oh? What's the matter with Duke Qin? Tell me quickly." Emperor Chengxing quickly answered the conversation, finally getting rid of the embarrassment.
"Your Majesty, the teachings of this dynasty, that everyone who plots to rebel will be punished. According to the old minister, although the methods of Yongyi Hou and Dingxiang Hou are a little more fierce, it is not an exaggeration to the thieves who shake the foundation of our dynasty. I hope Your Majesty will clearly observe." Qin State's justice
After hearing this, Han Zhang wanted to fight back, but he held back again. How could he not know about Jiangnan?
The Xu family had evidence in their hands, and he was not surprised at all, but he had never taken action because he was afraid of Jiangnan's strength before.
But this time he dared to take action, which made him think too much, especially after listening to Liu Wei's words, he became even more uneasy.
Could it be that the northwest really reached a deal with the Xu family? This is not a good thing, it is a shake of the foundation of the country. No, absolutely not.
"Your Majesty, I think the Duke of Qin is justified, but this is a matter of rebellion, and I think there is still a side statement between the two of Yongyi Hou. I think there is still evidence." Han Zhang said
"Well, what I said is reasonable, then let Yongyi Hou send the evidence to the capital and hand it over to the Three Laws for verification." Emperor Chengxing said
When Han Zhang heard this, this was wrong. Didn’t he say that yesterday? Shouldn’t Yuan Wenshu go back to Beijing? What does this mean?
However, after seeing Emperor Chengxing and his smile, Han Zhang instantly understood that he wanted to speak by himself.
Han Zhang was willing to ignore it, but Jiangnan couldn't ignore it. After all, that was his foundation.
So in the end, I have to say that, but that would be a shame. Han Zhang, who sent Yuan Wenshu to Jiangnan, was called back now. Isn’t that slap himself in the face?
But there was nothing he could do. He really didn't dare to let Yuan Wenshu stay in Jiangnan. If he stayed there, what might happen?
"Your Majesty, I think this matter is inappropriate. This evidence is naturally to be sent to the capital. But if this is the only thing Is it difficult to verify?" Han Zhang said.
"Oh? What good advice do you have?" Emperor Chengxing asked.
"Your Majesty, I think it's better to let Dingxiang Hou return to the capital and report this to Your Majesty in person." Han Zhang said
"Well, what I said is not unreasonable, but what should I do about food and grass?" Emperor Chengxing said
"Your Majesty, we just need to change people." Han Zhang said
"Who do you mean?" Emperor Chengxing said
"Your Majesty, I think Ancheng Hou is the best candidate." Han Zhang said
"Hmm? Marquis of Ancheng? Li Aiqing, what do you think?" Emperor Chengxing said
When Li Ji heard this, why did this come to him? But those who are discerning know that today is Han Zhang and His Majesty's double act.
I said I was asking for my own opinions, but in fact I should have discussed it yesterday. It’s just a show now.
"Go back to Your Majesty, I will follow the holy will." Li Jidao
"Well, then, thank you for your hard work, Li Aiqing will go there, the cabinet will draft an order and send Dingxiang Hou back to Beijing today." Emperor Chengxing said
Then it's the end, and today's double act is over.
Emperor Chengxing returned to the imperial study room, thinking about what happened today. As long as Yuan Wenshu returned to Beijing, no matter whether it was northwest, Jiangnan or the plan, he would have to come to an end.
However, even if Yuan Wenshu comes back, he probably can't calm down. No, he has to think of a way to calm down.
But what is the best idea to think of? If you can't do this, you have to ask the queen to see if there is any good idea behind him.
When he thought of it, Emperor Chengxing left the imperial study room and went to the queen's place to discuss what method to use to make Yuan Wenshu quiet for a while.
About an hour later, Emperor Chengxing left with satisfaction. It was the queen who could do it. Yuan Wenshu, Yuan Wenshu, I think you still have time to make trouble this time?
With the issuance of the imperial edict, the capital returned to its former peace. At this time, Minglan also received the news in the Dingxiang Marquis' Mansion.
The official issued an order to summon his own officials to return to Beijing. After receiving the news, Minglan was both happy and worried, because she was happy because she could see him again, and naturally because of what he did in Yangzhou.
So Minglan has been in a wrong state these days. Later, the old lady personally talked to Minglan, which made Minglan unhappy her knot.
At this time, Yuan Wenshu had already had a premonition that he was going back to Beijing, so some things had to be arranged in advance.
Among them is the position of the Bai family Dalang. Although he is an eighth rank, he is an important position. All the official documents of Yangzhou Prefecture have to be experienced.
As time passed, the imperial edict finally arrived. Xu Huizu was also in Yangzhou at this time and just received the order.
After the eunuchs were settled and his group, Yuan Wenshu and Xu Huizu came to the study. After the two of them sat down, Yuan Wenshu said, "Uncle, it seems that our official family is really scared, otherwise, they would not have been so anxious to ask me to return to Beijing."
"Haha, why are you not afraid? What you and my cooperation represent is completely different, but my life will be sad next." Xu Huizu said
"Uncle, you don't need to worry. Our official family doesn't have the courage to touch you. What else are you worried about?" Yuan Wenshu said.
"Hmph, you're so light. Now this official dares not touch me, what about his son? Do you dare not touch me?" Xu Huizu said
"Uncle, do you have no confidence in me? Are you still me? What are you afraid of?" Yuan Wenshu said
"You? You are now rootless at the foot of the tower in the air. If you hadn't pulled it into the water this time, would you think I could promise you?" Xu Huizu said
"Haha, I don't deny what you said, but it's a matter of time. I just took it ahead of time." Yuan Wenshu said
"Okay, I've opened the bow and didn't turn back. I've gotten on your pirate ship now. So what can I do if I don't believe you?" Xu Huizu said
Yuan Wenshu didn't say anything about Xu Huizu's complaints, because what he said was the truth, but then again, wasn't the reason why Xu Huizu was plotted by himself because he had plotted against himself first? So the cycle of heaven was unhappy.
There was nothing next, Yuan Wenshu had to worry about. He had already started packing up his things and was about to return to the capital.
In general, Yuan Wenshu was still very satisfied with this trip to Jiangnan, although he was plotted against by Han Zhang.
But I didn't spare him easily. After all, my grandfather is my grandfather, I am myself, and it's better to avenge my own grudges?
And this time, I prepared a second gift for Gu Tingye. I believe that it will be a big surprise at that time.
Not to mention the five million taels of silver, it was a huge sum of money, several times more than his full net worth.
Of course, I have made so much money this time. I can’t eat alone, right? My grandfather still has to give me some, and I can only have three million taels left in the end.
After all, I took quite a few risks this time.
As for the money in the gambling house? That’s not much, it’s all your hard-earned money. Don’t divide these three walnuts and two dates out.
Therefore, the risk is proportional to the benefit, and no one will deceive me.
It was finally time to set off. Yuan Wenshu looked at Yangzhou City behind him and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This is really his own blessing.
However, Yuan Wenshu knew in his heart that Jiangnan would probably have no chance to come again in the future. Whether it is the official or Han Zhang, they would not dare to let themselves come again.
In fact, Yuan Wenshu regretted something, that is, he did not confiscate Zhong Qin's home. In fact, at the beginning, Yuan Wenshu planned to take down a governor so that Han Zhang would feel distressed.
But my cheap uncle still kept a hand at that time, and there was only Shiqun and the salt merchant in terms of evidence. Although he had made a lot of benefits in the end, he still had some regrets.
However, the flaws do not conceal the merits, and I am still very satisfied this time. Now I should think about how I passed the level after I returned to Beijing.
As time passed, Yuan Wenshu finally returned to Beijing, and the news that Yuan Wenshu returned to Beijing was also known by all parties in the capital at the first time.
As soon as Yuan Wenshu got off the boat, he was told by the eunuch that His Majesty was summoned urgently and was now waiting for him in the imperial study.
After hearing this, Yuan Wenshu did not dare to neglect it. He hurriedly explained some things to Niu Manzhi, and then followed the eunuch into the palace.
When Yuan Wenshu arrived at the imperial study, he found that there were many people here, including the Duke of Qin and the Duke of Britain.
As for civil officials, Han Zhang, Zhang Xingzong, Ye Qi and others are also here.
Although Yuan Wenshu was stunned for a moment, he soon realized that he first greeted the official family, then got up and stood aside and waited.
"Okay, now the main master is back, don't argue, let's hear what's going on first." Emperor Chengxing said
When Yuan Wenshu heard this, he understood. It turned out that he was discussing himself? I don’t know what they were arguing about? Could it be that he was curing his own sin?
"Yuan Aiqing, why do you tell the story about Yangzhou in detail? Why are you so anxious to do it?" said Emperor Chengxing.
