Chapter 145 General Zhenyu’s Heart 3 Dirty

The servant of the household department committed the crime and spent money to buy his life. The minister of the household department protected his subordinates, but within three days, the confession was submitted to the imperial court by the Ministry of punishment. He also dealt with the crime of lax governance under the Minister of the Ministry of household affairs.

Emperor Jingwen was as black as charcoal in the court, but he must not be angry on the spot. Now that Beixiang's disaster relief has just been decided, and officials from the princeling party have got this job, the important person who allocates funds must be Emperor Jingwen. Ge, the Minister of the Ministry of Households has eaten melons, and the vitality of the Ministry of Households has been greatly injured. Emperor Jingwen could not find a suitable person to replace him for a while. Forced himself to issue a decree to severely punish the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Among the six ministries of the imperial court, the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Rituals are in the hands of Emperor Jing Wen, and the Crown Prince cannot intervene. Why can't Emperor Jing Wen see the clues when it comes out today?This is when the crown prince saw that he refused to allow Zheng Zhongjin to return to the capital, so he came to demolish his foundation!

Emperor Jing Wen's eyes were deep, looking at one-third of the ministers kneeling in the hall, he sneered in his heart, what a prince.

"The fourth brother thinks, how should I deal with Wang Qi, the servant of the household department?" Emperor Jing Wen suddenly looked at Prince Yong Liu Zhi who was standing in front of all the officials.

Liu Zhi took a step forward: "I believe that Daqi's law is solemn and cannot be violated, Wang Qi's death penalty can be avoided, and living crime is inevitable. He should indeed be dismissed and investigated, and exiled to a distant place."

Emperor Jingwen's eyes dimmed.

"But Mr. Du, Shangshu of the Ministry of Households, is really wronged, so the heavy punishment can be avoided. It is better to pay a salary of three months, with a small punishment and a big warning." Liu Zhi said slowly: "Now that Beixiang disaster relief is imminent, when the imperial court employs people, the most important thing is the new one. Candidate for the servant of the household department."

"My son," the prince turned around, and saluted Emperor Jingwen respectfully: "Second."

Under the crown of Emperor Jingwen, his brows did not relax for a moment, he sighed calmly, and responded with a tired voice.

Although the prince lowered his head and lowered his eyes, those eyes quietly looked at the blue veins emerging from the armrest of the dragon chair held by Emperor Jingwen. He felt a lot more at ease, and gestured towards Zheng Boke with his hands behind his back.

Zheng Boke once again invited Zheng Zhongjin to return to Beijing.

The emperor allowed Zheng Zhongjin to use three points of military power in exchange for returning to Beijing to fulfill his filial piety, and the prince also gave up the post of servant of the household department.

After court, the delicate balance between father and son was restored.

Liu Zhi sat on the carriage back home, closed his eyes and fell asleep, feeling really tired today.

East Palace.

Zheng Boke thanked Liu Ye, and Liu Ye waved his hand with a smile: "Boke Gong thanked the wrong person. The one who should thank him is Prince Yong. He gave Wang Qi's handle to me."

Zheng Boke's face froze: "Why is he like this? The minister and Prince Yong should be regarded as enemies."

Liu Ye shook his head, lowered his head and slowly took a sip of hot tea: "Who knows, this younger brother of this palace has never been guessed." He said and put down the teacup: "However, it doesn't matter, General Xiao Zheng will return to Beijing soon , Bengong feels that in the whole world, only you, Duke Boke, can guess how much Prince Yong is."

When Zheng Boke heard this, his eyes were full of melancholy.

On the second day after the imperial decree arrived at the Baicheng station in the north, Zheng Zhongjin led his army back to the court.Not long after Zheng Zhongjin set off, Liu Zhi intercepted a letter sent from the home of the Minister of Rites in the capital.

Li Ziyu held the letter and presented it to Liu Zhi. Liu Zhi glanced down at the Zhongzheng font on the envelope, and sneered disdainfully: "It's been so many years, Zhao Jixing hasn't made any progress, and the handwriting is just like others, which is boring." Tight."

Li Ziyu didn't dare to answer easily, and walked around to Liu Zhi's side, adding incense and grinding for him.

Liu Zhi opened it casually and began to read. The more he read, the uglier his face became. After finishing the last line, Liu Zhi snorted coldly, picked up a pen and wrote on the back of the letter paper: The whole article is nonsense, talking about wars on paper, how do you know that the state affairs are big, the king Ministers must be cautious in every word and deed. Zhao Ji's words and deeds must be cautious. Zhao Ji's words are nonsensical. The words of the people are nothing but vain. Modesty is a gentleman. You should make a clear distinction from this son, so as not to be stained by his filth.

The handwriting was scribbled and unrestrained, completely different from the lower case script in the letter. It was so powerful that it overshadowed the lower case script. Without waiting for the ink to dry, Liu Zhi got up and wiped his hands with the hot handkerchief he had prepared at the side: "Put it back on, and send someone to give it to you as soon as possible." Zhong would like to send it."

Li Zi and Ying Nuo.

The letter was sent to Zheng Zhongjin's place by the courier. On the way to rest during the march, Zheng Zhongjin took it out, opened it, and saw that the sealing wax had been removed. He took out the letter paper with a sullen face. A few scribbled sentences on the back are not bookish.

What a Liu Zhi, he writes filthy people word by word, but he doesn't know that he is not a filthy person when he opens other people's letters privately. !

That letter was written by Tan Hualang of Xinke ten years ago, and now it was written by Zhao Jixing, the editor of the Imperial Academy. There is nothing else in the letter, but he discussed with Zheng Zhongjin some good politics for the people.

Speaking of which, what Liu Zhi doesn't like is the politics that Zhao Jixing said. When Zhao Jixing was studying with the prince, he made things difficult for Zhao Jixing, but Zhao Jixing's literary talents are brilliant, and his heart is full of worries for the country. Worrying for the people, Zheng Zhongjin has a rigorous family style, and he also has the world in mind. He often talks with Zhao Jixing at night by candlelight.Liu Zhi was a willful lunatic since he was a child, he valued Zheng Zhongjin, and almost everyone in the court knew that Zheng Zhongjin had a good relationship with Zhao Jixing, Liu Zhi was reluctant to punish Zheng Zhongjin, it was really too easy to handle a small son of the Minister of Rites, so he It was Liu Zhi who was demoted to Liangcheng for ten years, and Xinke Tanhua could also work as a small history book editor in the Imperial Academy for ten years.

The more Liu Zhi was like this, the more Zheng Zhongjin hated him.

After reading the letter, Zheng Zhongjin did not reply to the letter, but called the messenger, and asked him to go to the residence of the Minister of Rites to find Zhao Jixing, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, and bring a sentence to himself, but to Liu Zhi, Zheng Zhongjin wrote the letter back in person, with a cold and alienated tone .

Respectfully, Prince Yong: His Royal Highness, Prince Yong, should not be a gentleman for the lower officials, fear of humiliating him, and Ji Xing himself and Ji Xing are filthy, so why be afraid of being polluted?

The joy of receiving the reply disappeared in an instant when he opened it. Liu Zhi wanted to burn it. After thinking about it, he finally folded it carefully, put it in an envelope, and put it in the simple box in the study.

Li Ziyu sighed softly and said, "My lord, but what did the general say to make you unhappy?"

Liu Zhi closed the box, and Yubai's fingers lightly stroked the edge, his voice was very soft, as if he hadn't said anything: "Forget it, he has such a temper, and this king knows it." A few smiles appeared: "A very good brain, but he always doesn't like to think too much, he goes straight to the point, sometimes like a firecracker, it hits at one point, so I don't know if it is similar to Duke Burke, or his bad temper like a mother."

"I think it looks like Mrs. Rongchang." Li Ziyu also laughed: "My servant remembers that many years ago, when Mrs. Rongchang came to the palace to meet the concubine Zhen, she heard Mrs. Rongchang from a long distance away. The cursing voice, although a bit vulgar, is full of anger, which is very refreshing."

Liu Zhi also seemed to remember some of the past, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "Jin will return to Beijing in half a month. I haven't seen him for ten years. I don't know what he looks like now."

On the day Zheng Zhongjin led his troops into the city, the prince and Zheng Boke were waiting at the gate of the city. After the prince came, Emperor Jingwen would not appear, but Liu Zhi did not go. He just reserved a private room on the second floor of the restaurant at the gate of the city. He drank the good daughter red on the altar, and while pecking and drinking, he looked out of the city gate from the city gate.

After noon, the dusty army entered the city.

Behind the young general in black robes was the big red military flag flying high. It fluttered with the wind, and the infantry and cavalry stepped in unison, falling to the ground like drums, and the sound was shocking.

What a great majesty!What a great show!

The people were agitated and shouted: General Hussars has returned to the city!General Hussars has returned to the city!

Black armor, black horse, the man with a cloak hunting, came from the snow, as if tearing apart the ice-cold sky, his whole body was wrapped in black flames, seeing it from a distance, it would make people lose the world, in his eyes only Looking at him alone, I can only think of him.

Zheng Zhongjin approached, kicked on one foot, got off his horse, and knelt down on one knee towards the prince and Zheng Boke who were waiting in front: "His Royal Highness, Father, Zheng Zhongjin, the general stationed in the northern border, is back."

"Okay, okay," Zheng Boke was so excited that he hadn't seen his son for five years, and hurried forward to hold his son's arm: "It's good to be back, it's good to be back."

Liu Ye nodded, his eyes filled with relief: "General Hussars don't need to be polite, please hurry up."

The person sitting at the top of the restaurant took in all the sceneries on the street, maybe he drank more wine, maybe the open window let in more wind, the corners of his eyes were reddish, and the peach blossom eyes seemed to be filled with water vapor .

"Thinner." Li Ziyu heard his prince whisper softly: "But also strong."

Liu Zhi suddenly turned his head and waved at Li Zihe. Li Zihe walked to his master's side and looked out the window together with him.

"I don't know if he can still live with me now."

"Probably can handle it," Li Ziyu smiled gently, and talked with his prince: "General Xiao Zheng just needs a small physique. He used to be able to handle it when he was more than ten years old." The prince who fell from the tree has now been trained in the army for five years and has fought more than a hundred times with the tall and powerful Qiang people. The servants around him don't know, but they guessed that this weapon has the strength."

These words made Liu Zhi laugh, he laughed twice, and nodded in agreement: "That's true, in terms of being strong and strong, Zhongjin has never lost in our generation. Cousin Jun is not his opponent either..." Speaking of Meijun, Liu Zhi's eyes darkened a bit, and when he let go of his worries, there were only soldiers entering the city one after another on the street. The people had gone away, Liu Zhi closed the window and sat back at the table.

"Forget it, there is always a chance to try it," Liu Zhi said after drinking the last glass of wine, "Come back."

On the third day of Zheng Zhongjin's return to Beijing, a banquet was held in Emperor Jingwen's palace to welcome him, and all civil and military officials came to it.

After drinking for three rounds, Emperor Jingwen was overwhelmed with alcohol, and returned to the palace to rest. Zheng Zhongjin did not like to have any more contact with the court officials, so he excused himself from the banquet. After walking a few steps, he heard footsteps behind him. He was too familiar with those footsteps. .

Liu Zhi has a jade crown with black hair, a moon-white wide-sleeved robe, one hand covering his waist and abdomen, and a single behind his back. His forehead is smooth and full, and a pair of peach blossom eyes flow, noble and gorgeous.

It's amazing to see.

Probably because he drank too much alcohol, Zheng Zhongjin was stunned.
