Regent sucks cats daily

Sapphire Palace.

Xiao Jumao suddenly opened his eyes, the pain from being pierced by the arrow seemed to still stay in his chest.He supported himself and sat up, reached out and touched the faint scar left on his right chest in the paddock, the arrow also penetrated Yuan Bao's right chest.

Seeing him waking up, the confidant immediately appeared in front of him and respectfully said, "Your Majesty."

Xiao Jumao nodded slightly, "Help me back to Jingquan Palace."

Back on the dragon couch in Jingquan Palace, Xiao Jumao didn't feel sleepy at all, he kept rubbing his sore arms and legs with his hands, and shouted out of the palace.

"Zhao Quan, what time is it?"

After a while, Zhao Quan replied with a bright voice: "Your Majesty, it's almost time, will Your Majesty get up and go to court early?"

Xiao Jumao said "Yes", "Go and prepare water first, I want to take a bath, and then I will order the imperial dining room to prepare some clear porridge."

Zhao Quan went down in response.

Xiao Jumao regained some strength after taking a bath and drinking porridge. He didn't know what the situation in the south of the Yangtze River was like now.

He believes in the concept of time.

When it was morning time, he walked slowly to the dragon chair and sat down with a calm expression on his face.

After the ministers shouted long live three times, Xiao Jumao asked them to stand up in a hoarse voice.Sleeping for too long, my throat is a little dry and hoarse.

"Do you have something important to announce?" He was condescending, and his slightly round eyes slowly swept across the faces of the ministers below. Although he was not sharp, it was such a calmness that made them feel quite stressed.

"The minister has his own play!" The minister of the official department came out of the queue and bowed with his wat.

"speak."

"Reporting to the emperor, Xing Kai, the commander of the Jiangnan garrison, privately detained Ding Teng, the director of the Jiangnan Water and Land Department.

Xiao Jumao looked curious, "This is the first time I've heard of it. Can Ai Qing tell you why the commander of the garrison imprisoned the director of the Water and Land Department?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials slowed down, and replied: "It seems that General Xing had a dispute with others on the pier. Master Ding's handling method did not meet his expectations, so he got angry, and relied on his strength in force to forcefully tie up Master Ding."

"Oh," Xiao Jumao nodded, "So that's it, it turns out that you all confuse right and wrong like this, I'm really taught."

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials and the ministers hadn't recalled the words of the emperor, when the emperor on the dragon chair suddenly shouted: "Come on! Take off the black hat of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials! You dare to confuse right and wrong to deceive me! It's a big deal if you drag it down!" Fifty boards!"

Xiao Jumao has been holding back since he woke up, until he heard the nonsense of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, his anger reached its peak, and he burst out in an instant.

Everyone's minds were in a state of stupidity, and they didn't realize it until the imperial guards dragged the servant of the official department down. When he left, he suddenly came back to his senses and immediately shouted words like "Your Majesty forgives your sins".

Xiao Jumao sat on the dragon chair, his hands trembling a little.

"Is there any book Aiqing wants to play?" The hoarse voice with a hint of sharpness made people's hearts tremble.

"Your Majesty, I have a copy." Shen Hui, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, came out and said.

"speak."

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the tenth day of next month will be His Majesty's birthday. Is the ceremony according to the previous regulations, or is it?"

If Shen Hui didn't mention it, Xiao Jumao almost forgot that the 19th day of next month would be his [-]th birthday. In previous years, he hadn't done much before taking office, but now his first birthday after taking office must be taken seriously.

"The whole world celebrates, and the world has amnesty."

"According to the order."

After retiring from the imperial court, Cai Guogong walked out of the main hall with his eyes closed. There was no sadness or joy on his old face. A minister walked up to him and whispered: "My lord, what is His Majesty thinking? It stands to reason that we suppressed all the news. Come down, it is impossible for him to hear the wind, why did he suddenly get into trouble?"

Cai Guogong gave him a serious look, "Your Majesty's mind, how can we as courtiers make wild guesses?"

The minister looked at the back of Cai Guogong going away, sneered, and thought: Maybe your majesty knows about the good deeds your son has done, why are you so fussy?

Yunxiao Villa in Jiangling City.

With great effort, Zhou Shuo pulled out the arrow from Yuan Bao's body. After dressing it with medicine, he was already sweating profusely.

Anyone who sees Tan Shiguan's blood-stained, ferocious and distorted face will feel terrified in his heart.

He wiped his sweat, and when he opened the door, he saw a group of people gathered around the door, chattering: "How is it?"

Even Tan Lie stood in the yard with concern in his eyes.

Everyone knew that it was Yuan Bao who saved Tan Shiguan's life at a critical moment, and he was regarded as Tan Shiguan's life-saving cat. As Tan Shiguan's elder brother, Tan Lie was naturally grateful.

"There is no fear of life, as long as you cultivate for a period of time, you will be fine."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Xing Kai came with a frosty face, and was about to speak, when Tan Shiguan entered the room, holding a word in his throat.

He looked at everyone, "What's the matter?"

Jin Lan smiled politely, "General Xing will wait in the main hall for a while, now that you are busy, let's have some tea."

Xing Kai thought for a while, "That's okay." Anyway, the ones who should be arrested have already been caught. If Yunxiao Villa and Nanhua had not been notified in advance to help out, they would not have defeated Cai Liyang's mad masters so easily.

However, the boss' pet was seriously injured in order to save him, the boss must be very sad.

Sad to be sad, Cai Li's case needs to be closed by the boss, and the relevant personnel have to be escorted back to Beijing to report to the emperor for disposal.

They sat in the main hall for a while, and the Zhu family came to visit.

After staying in prison for a few days, they also figured out that Xing Kai deliberately passed by Cai's mansion that day, just to send them to the prison and protect them.No, when they heard that Xing Kai was in Yunxiao Villa, they rushed over immediately.

Zhu Qiaoqiao was taken captive by Cai Li. Fortunately, Cai Li was too busy to talk to her because the incident was revealed, so she didn't suffer any harm.

When Zhu Hongye saw his relatives, he immediately greeted them, and the worry on his face turned into joy.

Zhu Changsheng has become a bit more vicissitudes in the past few days, but his spirit is very good. When he saw Xing Kai, he bowed a big bow and said: "This time General Xing righteously eliminated harm in the south of the Yangtze River. Zhu is very grateful!"

Xing Kai thanked him so solemnly, he really felt a little guilty in his heart, he was just following the orders of the boss, and the one who deserved the most credit must be the boss.

It's just that the boss asked him to keep it a secret, so he had no choice but to bear it.

"Mr. Zhu is serious. Don't you offend me like this!" Xing Kai saluted him back, "Besides, this is all my job."

Jin Lan served them tea with a smile, and Zhu Changsheng said to Tan Lie: "This time, thanks to the great help of Yunxiao Villa, the old man is polite and doesn't say much. If Yunxiao Villa is useful to our Zhu family in the future, the Zhu family is obliged to do so." !"

Tan Lie waved his hand, "Uncle Shi is too polite, Cai Li was beaten up by everyone, and we just did what we should do."

"By the way, why didn't you see the second nephew?" Zhu Changsheng scanned around, but he didn't see Tan Shiguan.

"Oh, he's been a little tired recently, let's take a rest first, or I'll send someone to call him."

Zhu Changsheng smiled and shook his head, "No need, Nephew Lie, I have one more thing to do when I come to visit today."

Tan Lie said politely: "You say."

Zhu Changsheng glanced at the shy Zhu Qiaoqiao who bowed his head, and said, "Shi Guan has been traveling for many years, so he won't leave again this time, will he?"

Tan Lie smiled, "He has always had big ideas, and I, as an older brother, don't know that."

Zhu Changsheng asked again: "Shi Guan hasn't married yet, right? Today, the old man has the cheek to say that our Qiaoqiao has also reached the marriageable age. It's not that the old man is bragging. Qiaoqiao's appearance, martial arts, and personality are not the best. , but in Jiangling City, few people can match it, right?"

Xing Kai thought to himself: That's not necessarily the case, Ding Teng's daughter looks no worse than Zhu Qiaoqiao after she's done, and her martial arts are quite high.

Tan Lie didn't speak, Jin Lan smiled softly and said: "That's right, Qiaoqiao is beautiful, good in martial arts, and stable in temperament, she is the first in Jiangling City."

Hearing this, Zhu Changsheng felt relieved. He stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I think Shiguan is also a dragon and a phoenix among people. Why don't we get married?"

People in Jianghu are straightforward and don't like to beat around the bush. Zhu Changsheng wanted to make Shiguan his son-in-law, so he said it directly.

Tan Lie looked at Jin Lan in embarrassment, he really couldn't do this kind of thing.

Jin Lan was full of smiles, "It's Shiguan's blessing that Mr. Zhu has a crush on our family's Shiguan. It's hard to find a good daughter-in-law like Qiaoqiao even with a lantern. Our family's Shiguan may not be so lucky."

Xing Kai nodded in his heart, the eldest of their family is Ding Guogong, this seems a bit inappropriate, right?

Zhu Changsheng stared, "Why do you call it unlucky?"

"Look, Shi Guan is already 27. Qiaoqiao is only seventeen this year, right? He's ten years older. This..."

Zhu Changsheng waved his hand, "What is ten years older? As long as both of you are interested?"

He really wanted to be in-laws with Yunxiao Villa.First, he can trust the Tan family; second, the two families are close; third, the Tan family is more promising than their Zhu family, and he also wants to find a backer for Qiaoqiao.

Jin Lan had no choice but to say: "This matter depends on Shi Guan's intentions, we can't be his master."

As soon as she finished speaking, a person walked in outside the hall, with a solemn face and a tall and straight figure. He greeted Zhu Changsheng first, and then he said to Xing Kai who had stood up: "Xing Kai, you immediately lead the troops and escort him away." If Cai Li and the officials involved in the case go to Beijing, if there is anything wrong, you are the only one to ask!"

Xing Kai immediately gave a military salute, and led the order out with an excited face.

Except for a few people who knew about it, the Zhu family was at a loss.You know, Xing Kai is an official of the imperial court, and his rank is not low, so what kind of person is Tan Shiguan who can order Xing Kai?

Zhu Changsheng looked puzzled, "Nephew Tan, what's going on?" No matter how stupid he was, he knew that things might be different from what he thought.

Tan Shiguan turned around slightly, with a polite and alienated face, and said: "Zhu Shibo, to tell you the truth, my nephew was ordered to come to Jiangling City to investigate Cai Li's case, and now the case has come to light, and my nephew will return soon. Jing has returned to life."

Zhu Changsheng: "..." Why hasn't he heard that the second son of the Tan family is an official in Beijing?

Tan Shiguan, Tan Shiguan... As far as he knew, that was the name of the former regent and now Dingguogong, but didn't it mean that Dingguogong went to southern Yunnan to suppress bandits?Then nephew Tan shouldn't be that Duke Ding, right?There are so many people with the same name and surname in the world, even if he knew Duke Ding's name before, he wouldn't think about it.

"My nephew still has important matters to deal with, so I'll take my leave first." Tan Shiguan said, saluted Tan Lie and Jin Lan again, and then stepped out of the room.

"Nephew Lie, this, this..."

Tan Lie touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed, "Well, my younger brother has been away from home for more than ten years, and even I don't know that he can earn a king of Dingguo, haha."

Zhu Changsheng choked, and then let out a long sigh, Duke Ding and the others couldn't afford it!

Forget it, if you can't get married, you can't get married. As long as you can avoid making enemies, it will be a happy event.

The two sons of the Tan family are promising!

Now, he couldn't sit still anymore, so he led the Zhu family out of Yunxiao Villa, Zhu Qiaoqiao's face was full of loneliness, it turned out that he was Duke Ding, no wonder he was so outstanding.

Xiao Jumao's affairs in the south of the Yangtze River are still unclear, but no news is good news. He sat in the royal study reviewing the memorial, thinking about Tan Shiguan and Yuanbao, and couldn't read a single word.

I don't know if Tan Shiguan will be able to return to Beijing on the tenth day of the next month.

"Your Majesty, there is a letter from Jiangnan." Zhao Quan reported outside the imperial study.

Xiao Jumao immediately stood up, his face excited, but thinking of his identity, his expression gradually faded, and he said in a deep voice, "Come in."

Zhao Quan pushed the door in with the letter in his hand and presented it.

Xiao Jumao stretched out his hand to open it, he was very happy when he saw the letter, his eyes brightened, but he continued to look back but gradually became disappointed.

The letter only stated that the evidence of Cai Li and others' crimes was clear and sufficient, and that they had been sent back to Beijing under the escort of Xing Kai, the commander of the Jiangnan garrison.The letter also detailed the heinous crimes committed by Cai Li and others. Even though Xiao Jumao knew about it, he still felt angry and wanted to drag them directly to the Meridian Gate and behead them!

As soon as he read the letter, he heard Zhao Quan say again outside the door: "Your Majesty, Mr. Cai Guogong is asking to see you."

Xiao Jumao patted the letter on the table, his chest heaved and heaved, as soon as he received the letter, Cai Guogong came to see him, it seems that Cai Guogong received the news earlier than himself, as expected of the Duke's Mansion, the power is huge.

After a while, he sat upright and said slowly, "Let him in."

Outside the door, Cai Guogong heard the emperor's voice without joy or anger, and he couldn't figure out what the emperor's attitude towards the next thing was.But no matter what his attitude was, he wanted to give his son a chance.

Zhao Quan led him in, then went out and closed the door.

Cai Guogong bowed his head and knelt down and said, "I see the emperor."

Xiao Jumao pretended to be reviewing the memorial, when he heard this, he raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "Get up." But he didn't say give him a seat.

If it was normal, Xiao Jumao would give a seat to an important and veteran minister like Cai Guogong.

Since he didn't say anything this time, Cai Guogong had no choice but to stand trembling.

"What's the matter with Cai Guogong?"

Cai Guogong was silent for a while, gritted his teeth, and knelt down again with a "plop", the sound of his knees hitting the ground made Xiao Jumao feel pain.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Jumao stopped writing.

Two lines of tears fell on Cai Guogong's wrinkled face, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, I am sorry for your majesty! The old minister gave birth to a wicked son, and he was doing mischief outside. Now the Jiangnan Commander General Xing is escorting him back to the capital. , Your Majesty, the son does not teach the fault of the father, and all the mistakes are the fault of the old minister, please give him a way out!" After he finished speaking, his forehead hit the ground.

In the imperial study room, it was so quiet that a needle drop could be heard suddenly.

Cai Guogong lay down on the ground for a long time before he heard the emperor who was seated above lightly say: "After two days, it will not be too late for you to come to intercede again, you should step down first."

Cai Guogong didn't know why, but he retreated obediently. It was not until two days later that he understood the meaning of the emperor's words. At this time, he couldn't ask for mercy anyway.

Mr. Fanzhi has a high reputation among literati and students, and his books are often sold out. Since the last book was published, within half a month, he unexpectedly published another book.

Everyone rushed to buy it frantically, but after opening it, they found that what Mr. Fanzhi wrote this time was not a fictional character, but a real one.

In the form of short stories, the book exposes the heinous crimes committed by Cai Li and other officials in the south of the Yangtze River. The tragic deeds of those family ruins filled everyone who read the book with righteous indignation.

They yelled at Cai Li, yelled at the dog officials, pointed out the current malpractices, talked loudly, and could drown Cai Li and others with their spittle.If this book aroused everyone's anger, then the appearance of hundreds of blood books is enough to burn everyone's reason.

These hundreds of letters written in blood by the woman were first pasted in Jiangling City for a few days, and then they were rushed to the capital and sent to Xiao Jumao's desk.

The world was in an uproar.

These are the blood and tears of those women. All the misfortunes they suffered at the beginning are now presented in the light of the world. Every letter makes people cry and heartache, pain for the despair of women, pain for the injustice of the world.

The big case in the south of the Yangtze River involved almost all officials, and the temples and rivers and lakes were all shaken. They all prayed that the wicked must be punished as they deserved!

Cai Guogong was able to obtain a sliver of gift from Xiao Jumao through his hard work, but he couldn't stop the world's mouth, he couldn't take the reputation of the entire Cai Guogong's mansion into it.However, although he was no longer willing to wade into this muddy water, he was already stuck in the quagmire and couldn't get out.

Cai Li and Cai Fu are inseparable.

When Xing Kai escorted the criminals to the capital, all the people lined up to welcome them, and threw the prepared garbage at the criminals, yelling at them.

Cai Guogong's family hid at home and didn't dare to come out at all. Some people even threw vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at the door of their house, but no one dared to take care of them.

Xing Kai settled the criminals and went to the palace alone to face the saint.

This was the first time he saw the little emperor, and he was still a little excited and nervous.

In Qiankun Hall, all the ministers stood quietly with their heads bowed. Xing Kai strode up to the hall and knelt down on one knee, "I kowtow to the emperor, long live the emperor!"

Xiao Jumao was sitting on the dragon chair, rubbing the armrest with his right hand, with a smile on his face, "Xing Aiqing has worked hard all the way, let's get back together."

After Xing Kai thanked him, he reported: "Your Majesty, the criminal has been placed in the sky prison, waiting for His Majesty's judgment."

Xiao Jumao said "Yes", and suddenly asked a question that everyone couldn't understand: "Xing Aiqing, why did Ding Guogong not return?"
