Chapter 24: Peach Path (1)

.Zheng Gongchu said to Li Sheng: "Where are you here, bring Wu Quanzi up."

Wu Quanzi brought it over, Li Sheng pointed to the ball of fragrant powder on the ground and said, "Do you know what this is?"

Everyone has different IQs, plus their knowledge, when they saw this sleepy powder, Li Sheng and Liu Rengui, and even Zheng Lianshu and Wei Hongji smiled, but Wu Quanzi didn't react and touched a little on his hands. After looking at it, he felt a little uneasy and thought for a while and said, "It's probably the powder produced by Wen Fangzhai, Huaizhou."[

Not sure, but I saw his wives and concubines used similar cosmetics.

"Are you sure these two people committed suicide?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the subjects heard the servants' reports in the morning. They were in the manor again, and they were in such a dead state, so he would not have killed him."

After saying that, he was also afraid that the emperor would see the flaws, so he looked at the officials in Huaizhou with his eyes. However, several important officials closed their eyes. Several officials had acquainted with him, but they were just like him, looking at Zhang Junxian inexplicably.

Zhang Junxian seemed to have not seen it.

Li Sheng continued: "When I was having dinner, I said you were a talent, and indeed a talent. As an ordinary manager, I could treat me and see two Zaibo as nothing. Let hundreds of us run dozens of miles to come here at night. You can say that you are the number one person in the world."

"Subjects dare not do anything." Wu Quanzi's legs were scared and weak. He was in charge of the affairs. At worst, he could rely on his master's prosperity and benevolence in Huaizhou. How could he dare to be the number one person in the world?

Ignoring him, Li Wei came to Zhang Junxian and said, "Some people say that the capital is the most difficult to govern. This is a mistake. As long as the emperor is clear and clear, although there are many powerful and noble children in the capital, they are under the feet of the emperor. Not only the emperor, but also many ministers are staring at it. It is difficult to govern. It is easy to say it is easy to say it is easy to make political achievements."

This statement is not false. During Guangwu, Princess Huyang killed people with a servant, Luoyang ordered Dong Xuan to force the law enforcement, and forced the order to be famous throughout the ages. If it were not under the feet of the emperor, how could Dong Xuan stand out? But the most important premise is that the emperor is wise. If the emperor is dark, the officials in the capital will be the most difficult official in the world.

Li Sheng continued: "Therefore, the most difficult thing to hold an official position is the officials of prefectures and counties near the capital, especially the plains such as Huaizhou, many families in Huaizhou are Sima, Chang, Xiang, He and other 16 surnames have the power to enfeoff land. If these people abide by the national laws, you will not be embarrassed. If they do not abide by the laws and regulations, they will not be easy to deal with the officials in the village. I can understand, but I came here in person, why do you have to be both sides of the rat? If it weren't for you..."

He glanced at the sleepy powder and said, "Tonight I will order people to remove your official uniform."

"Yes, yes" Zhang Junxian shed sweat again.

"I'll give you another chance. I'll leave this case to you to check. I'll find out the truth for me. Not only this case, but also all matters involving this case will be investigated clearly for me, write a file, and leave it to me for personal review.

"Here."

Li Sheng was still not relieved. He was here, and this group of officials left some tricks. If he was not here, he would not know how to do it perfunctorily. It happened that the tour was over. It was not the case that he went to Xingyang, which was a meeting with the Zheng family in Xingyang. So he issued an edict: "Li Qing, I will let you serve as the ambassador of Shannan Road and Huainan Road, and I will let you serve as the ambassador of Shannan Road and Huainan Road. Liu Qing, you can work hard, I will let you serve as the ambassador of Jiangnan Road and Jiangnan Road. And Wei Qing, I will let you serve as the governor of Hebei and Hedong, and I will help me to the governor of Hebei and Hedong. I will return to Beijing at the end of the year."

"Here."

Wei Hongji gave Di Renjie a strong advice, but he is still a commoner, so Li and Liu are ambassadors, and he is just a governor's disposal envoy. This is a difference. But with this official position, you can also supervise the case. It is impossible for Li Qi to stay in Huaizhou for ten or eight days to determine the case for this case, and he is not good at solving the case.

Wei Hongji was appointed as the post and stayed there.

Li Qi took the others away from the manor. It was getting dark and he started camping and resting.

Zheng Gongchu was puzzled and asked her father: "Yeah, why did your Majesty conclude that he killed him, not suicide?"

"Chu'er, you don't understand. If you have the ambition to die, will the young woman who hangs her husband have a heart to wipe off her makeup? She just wants to die beautifully, why can't she see the makeup on her face again?"

"The boy dared not look at her face."

"You shouldn't have followed"..." The word "go" did not say. Although Xin said that the emperor was familiar with reading rituals since he was a child, he did not follow the common etiquette when he was doing things. For example, his younger sister and two wives and concubines followed him, but he did not see the emperor angry. He also said: "The powder just fell under the right hand, which is something that should not appear."

“Why?”

"The reason is very simple. The two of them were not suicide. Before they died, the concubine named Xiangyun was putting on makeup in the room, and then they were hanged alive with a young man. Because the matter came suddenly, she was still holding a pink handkerchief in her hand, hanging on the beam of the roof, making a disguise for suicide. The murderer also saw her holding her hands tightly, spreading her hand apart, and taking the pink handkerchief away. He saw that the makeup on her face had not been finished, and wiped off the makeup on her face. But the murderer had no experience and committed the crime at night, and did not pay attention to the powder on the pink handkerchief falling on the ground. This alone can be used as proof. If you follow this line, you can find more answers from the corpse or her hands. But the emperor was the emperor, not an offense to investigate the case, so he did not continue to check it, but handed it to the Huaizhou officials."

"These officials are not good people either."

"Boy, no, although the governor of Huaizhou was alarmed, the struggle behind it was the Duke of Zhou, His Majesty, and even the Empress Dowager, both ends of the heads of Huaizhou officials were humane. In fact, it was already left behind. For example, the governor of Huaizhou immediately reported to His Majesty, and then the governor of Huaizhou stared at the sleepy powder with his eyes, which was to remind His Majesty. Otherwise, even under the light of the candle, even if His Majesty is smart, he would not immediately see the faint powder."

"So that's it. Are they from the Emperor of the Bacang?"

"No, Wu Quanzi's case has many flaws and cannot be covered. So it is possible that the governor will immediately protect the scene after receiving the offense. Give himself a chance to excuse himself. He would rather his Majesty scold him before he could solve the case with all his might, so that he could communicate to the Empress Dowager and the Duke of Zhou. It is not that the emperor did not want to give Duke Zhou face, but that the emperor saw the flaws and forced him to solve the case. In this way, neither side would offend him. Therefore, His Majesty said those words to the governor and allowed Wei Hongji to stay."

"Does the emperor want to go to the Supreme Emperor, the Queen Mother..."

"Don't talk nonsense about Chu'er, it's not the kind you think you want." After a day of companionship, Uncle Zheng Lian already knew what happened: "Actually, His Majesty was doing very urgently along the way. He only knew the people and did not ask about any unjust or fake cases. When he encountered an inquiry, he would end immediately and deal with it immediately. The court in the capital was divided into the Imperial Party and the Hou Party. The forces of both sides were similar, and even His Majesty did not want to cause disputes."

These words were not meant to be said, but maybe this daughter would enter the harem after the negotiation was made. So today she would give her a guide.

It is precisely because of this situation that all important members of the family gather to discuss. It is easiest to make some agreements with the emperor at this time. After all, both the empress dowager or the emperor's side need support.

However, after repeated discussions between the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, the family still determined that the emperor would be the final winner. However, there is no need to linger with his daughter. He said: "In this industry, Your Majesty finally has two goals, one is to leave the people's approximate situation. If you don't understand the needs of the people, you will not be able to clearly govern the country. The second goal is to build water conservancy and cultivate more farmland to allow the people to have land to cultivate. The goal is not to target annexation and high-interest loans. But the Wu family did too ruthlessly this time.

"yes."

"But boy, have you ever thought about how to swallow a large amount of fertile land if you are not so cruel. Huaizhou has a large population and a small land price, and it is expensive to have a large amount of fertile land. This is only one reason, and there is also the negotiation of interests. The book has been delivered to Dongdu, but will this book be passed? Even if all the fiefs and mansions of Duke Zhou and his residence are sold back, they will not be able to raise two million yuan to repay. Either Duke Zhou returns to Taiwan or the empress dowager makes some concessions, which is the goal of Your Majesty. However, Zhenbai, who could not see through the matter, not only had a murder case, but also other things, such as slandering the king, deceiving the king, and bullying the two Zaibais. The matter is getting big..."

Thinking of this, he looked at the big tent not far away, and thought to himself that the emperor was smiling from ear to ear at this moment.

It was probably wrong, and Li Sheng didn't laugh.

He discussed matters with Li Huiyiyan and Liu Rengui in the tent. When he saw them, he said, "You will set off tomorrow morning. I will go to Xingyang this time. It may be good, and it may not be a good agreement. If Yan is not good, especially Li Qing, you are a child of the Li family in Longxi. It will be difficult to get a place to sit in the house."

"Your Majesty, I am even more awesome."

"Li Qing, the children of the five families and seven families all have your sincere heart, so what are I worried about?" What should I do? Although Li Huiyiyan is not a direct descendant of the Li family in Longxi, he is indeed a descendant of the Li family in Longxi, not the fake Li Jingxuan. As an important and capable general in his hands, he must also be appeased.

He helped Li Huiyiyan up and said, "Liu Qing, you are the best at military affairs. Li Qing is good at administration, but water conservancy is not yours. Therefore, after staying in the patrol, ask them what talents are good at water conservancy in each prefecture and county, and ask them, if they are real talents, recommend them to me and bring them to the court. Otherwise, once the construction starts, I will not have professional officials available."

"Here." The two of them answered in unison. Liu Rengui said again: "But Xingyang, your majesty, you need to be careful. It is best to have a more complete conversation. Even if it is not complete, don't have a split. If the Zheng family intends to join forces, your majesty might as well agree. Let the Zheng family have a hope."

The power of the five surnames and seven families should not be underestimated.

However, these seven major families have huge power and become the tumor of the Tang Dynasty. The situation of Your Majesty Xingyang and his party is not optimistic.

"I know, why do I say that Liang Jinzhu has made great contributions, and several large families have a large population, and want to live a better life, annexation will inevitably happen. But after all, I just want to live a better life, and I have found another road for them on the sea. It's all like this, and my eyes are still staring at the poor farmland of the poor people. Liu Qing, what should I do?"

I want to be a bitch and want to set up a archway, that's that good thing.

In fact, the Zheng family in Xingyang and the Li family in Longxi have a fleet and family resources, and have made great profits in recent years. From this point, they also thank Li Sheng, which is also one of the reasons why the Zheng family in Xingyang showed goodwill this time.

"Yes, but be careful when His Majesty returns to Beijing."

As soon as Liu Rengui and Li Huiyiyan left, Pei Xingjian went to the Western Regions, while Di Renjie and Zhu Jingze did not grow up. Wei Xuantong could not be considered Li Sheng's people, and Wei Zhigu also did not count. Wei Yuanzhong was still wandering in the south of the Yangtze River, and the strength in the court was very unfavorable to Li Sheng.

"I know, but my father is still alive, and the king's way of doing things is to keep a low profile."

After a long discussion, the three of them left.

The next day, Li Huiyiyan and Liu Rengui were sent away. Li Qi did not stop and set out directly towards the Yellow River. In the evening, he could already see the figure of the Ancient City of Xingyang vaguely. (To be continued.
