Respect the little husband [farming]

The imperial study room.

Emperor Chongxin sat on the dragon chair and held the commander's seal in his hand to take a few breaths. This is something that the generals of the Qiang nationality have. He had personally conquered it when he was a prince. ...Emperor Chongxin looked down at Ge Zhengzhuo who was kneeling below. He was not young anymore, his hair and beard were both black and white, his eyes were cloudy, and there was always an unreasonable slyness in them, and his face was not salty. Not weak, not angry.

"Is everything you said true?" He asked, his slightly old voice made one's scalp tingle in the surprisingly quiet study room, Ge Zhengzhuo swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his hand on the ground moved uncontrollably Trembling, carefully said:

"I-I dare not lie to Your Majesty, it's all true—"

"Then why did you just tell me now?! According to what you said, the war in the Southwest started at the end of last year. Are you busy celebrating the New Year?!" Emperor Chongxin said angrily, turning his face faster than turning a book, and he was so violent that He flung out his handsome seal and slammed it on his hand with a "slap". Ge Zhengzhuo was so frightened that he trembled all over and cried out:

"Your Majesty, I...Wei, Weichen handed over the book when I was born in March this year, and it detailed all the disasters in the southwest, but I haven't heard back for a long time. The common people are suffering and are powerless, so they have to take such a risk and go to Beijing without the order of the Holy Majesty, please forgive me.”

Emperor Chongxin frowned, seeing him crying so annoyingly he waved his hands impatiently, and ordered: "Jinzhong, go and call me the prime minister!"

Jin Zhong was the eunuch in charge beside him, after hearing what he said, he immediately bent down and gave a blessing, and said: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister He is waiting outside."

Although he speaks in a soft voice, his old voice is blunt, which is not unpleasant.

"Let him get out!" Emperor Chongxin said, his brows were cloudy, and his stomach was obviously full of anger. When He Shu came in, seeing his expression, he knelt down without saying a word:

"Please forgive the emperor."

Emperor Chongxin smiled, and asked jokingly, "What is the prime minister's crime?"

He Shu glanced at Ge Zhengzhuo, and said: "Neglect of duty, not fulfilling one's duty, failing to share the emperor's worries is a serious crime for a minister."

Emperor Chongxin: "So you don't know anything about the southwest?"

He Shu: "I really don't know. Master Ge must have written a secret document on such a big matter. The secret document was written directly to the emperor. I have no right to consult it."

"Oh," Emperor Chongxin laughed, without any joy on his face, "Heshu Heshu, you are He Jin's youngest son. When He Jin rebelled, I think he was born and died for Daqing. Forgive me. After you and the empress, you were appointed as the prime minister despite the pressure from the court, but this Southwest rebellion still has the shadow of the He family army back then, you said that it has nothing to do with you, and has nothing to do with empress He, how can I trust you?!"

"Your majesty," He Shu kowtowed and grabbed the ground, his voice was cold and hard, "The empress and I will never forget the kindness of the emperor, and I have been deeply ashamed of He Jin for more than ten years. He will not be buried in the ancestral grave, he will not be erected, and he will not be enshrined in the grave." The ancestral halls, including He Jin's eldest son, He Wangnian, were all abandoned in the mass graves to be eaten by vultures and dogs. Both the minister and the queen are loyal to the emperor. If the emperor doesn't believe you, you can order someone to kill the minister on the spot. No complaints."

Emperor Chongxin stared at him for a long time with a gloomy face. After a while, he withdrew his gaze and ordered: "Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, Minister of the Left and Right, Minister of the Middle, Yuanwailang, Wang Yan, you take the imperial army and seal their mansions." Yes, search bit by bit, including the prime minister's mansion."

"Yes." Wang Yan got the decree, and strode out of the hall, mighty and brave, he is the admiral of the Nine Gates, with [-] Imperial Guards in his hands to patrol the inner and outer capitals, and Ge Zhengzhuo outside the gates was brought in by him.

He Shu knelt down and his face remained unchanged. He was handsome, but now his back was straight, his eyes were calm, and he had a strong character.

"Southwest?" Emperor Chongxin thought for a while, and then ordered, "Jinzhong, pass on an order to let Ning Jian and Chi Ji from the north come back."

"Your Majesty," He Shu frowned and stopped, "I think it's inappropriate. The Huns in the north are looking at me like a tiger. They are the only generals guarding the border. If they are all recalled, I fear that the Huns will take the opportunity to cause trouble."

Emperor Chongxin: "The south is already in great chaos. If we don't call them back to discuss the strategy against the enemy, do we have to wait for the Qiang people from the south to fight over?! And the thing in the southwest is strange, and there is no news about it for half a year. I'm afraid all of you Treat me as a fool! This matter would have been impossible without the intervention of people in the court, and I would like to see who is so bold!"

"But to the north—"

Emperor Chongxin: "There are my millions of lions! I have people to make up for the lack of two of them. I don't want you to talk too much!"

He Shu pursed his lips and his face was ashen. It was justifiable to let Chi Ji come back. After all, Chi Ji was the general of Zhennan, and he had been guarding the southern border for more than ten years, so what's the reason for Ning Jian to come back?The Ning family has been guarding the northern border, and they are at odds with Chi Ji and He Jin back then. In other words, they have no influence in the south, and it has nothing to do with this matter. Let him come back...

He Shu glanced at Emperor Chongxin, the emperor was probably overwhelmed, he didn't dare to let the army be monopolized, or he wanted to take this opportunity to take back the military power of the Ning family.

Jin Zhong drew up the decree and waited for the emperor to print the jade seal and ran out of the palace in small steps to send someone to deliver the decree.

Ge Zhengzhuo didn't dare to raise his head the whole time, and knelt on the ground, the sweat dripping from his forehead. Emperor Chongxin glanced at him and said:

"You use tax money privately, recruit soldiers privately, and do construction work privately. You are quite courageous."

Coming, Ge Zhengzhuo's heart suddenly rose to his throat, thinking about the speech he had prepared, he said anxiously:

"I couldn't get in touch with the imperial court at that time, and Yuzhou was besieged on all sides, and there were still refugees in the state. I thought that if the Qiang bandits captured Yuzhou, wouldn't all the tax money and food be ruined?" It’s better to be cheaper than yourself. Although the Southwest is located in a remote area, it is also the territory of Daqing, and the people are also the people of Daqing. The so-called taking from the people and using it for the people, the ministers and ministers are confused for a while, so, just—"

Emperor Chongxin: "Okay, I know that you have difficulties, and because you have traveled thousands of miles to deliver letters, and you have meritorious service, I don't intend to punish you, but you did commit the serious crime of beheading, and the merits and demerits are equal. The reward is also canceled, get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ge Zhengzhuo breathed a sigh of relief. When he stood up, his legs felt numb from kneeling for too long, and he couldn't help but staggered.

Emperor Chongxin couldn't help laughing: "You said that it was Yuzhou patrol inspector and a small garrison commander in Jingzhou who led the troops to repel the Qiang people?"

Ge Zhengzhuo nodded. The question was similar to Shen Wenxuan's expectation. He said cautiously: "Both of them are rare generals. They are brave and good at fighting. Thousands of people defeated the 12 Qiang bandits and captured two cities in succession."

"Okay!" Emperor Chongxin said with a smile, "I have finally produced two more characters in Daqing. It is true that heroes emerge in troubled times. Are they still staying in Yuzhou?"

"Yes, the Qiang thieves are vicious. Without the two of them, the only Yuzhou may be in danger, so I can only deliver the letter, but the two people who escorted me and the prisoners to Beijing this time are my Yuzhou The two capable officers who inspected Zhang Jianjian are kneeling outside the hall."

Emperor Chongxin thought for a while, he really wanted to meet these two geniuses, but the situation in the southwest was critical, and this was not a good time, so he ordered:

"Let the two people outside the hall come in and tell me about the Southwest affairs in detail."

When Zhao Er and Yan Qi stepped into the hall, He Shu sized them up a few times, and secretly clenched his fingers hidden in the sleeves.

The prisoners escorted to Beijing have been handed over to Dali Temple for interrogation. In the prison, Dali Temple Minister looked shocked at the crimes in his hands, then looked at the Qiang general who had been beaten badly, and immediately brought Shaoqing into the palace.

At this time, outside the imperial palace, Wang Yan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Li's family, and Wang Yan led people to search in the study, and found a secret letter from Yuzhou in a book on the bookshelf. letter--

"No, it's impossible, I didn't do it, I was wronged, I was wronged! Your Majesty—"

Li Shangshu looked terrified, but he was still taken away by Wang Yan, and all the men, women and children of the Li family were thrown into prison.

Shen Wenxuan sat by the window of the teahouse and watched the imperial army arresting people in a hurry. Daqing is still peaceful, and it is basically impossible for officials to treason with foreigners unless they have enmity with the emperor. The people around, are they trying to win the heir?

Why did the four princes seize the heir apparent to cause chaos in the Southwest?There is the He family army in the southwest, so that Empress He and Prime Minister He can be blamed, then the second prince will definitely fall, but——

Shen Wenxuan thought about it step by step, and there was something wrong. If it was really to blame, then it should make the trouble in the Southwest as big as possible. Why did the five states in the Southwest be sealed so that no news was leaked for half a year? The emperor didn't know about it. But you can't blame me.

Furthermore, where does the fourth prince have the ability to order the He family army?

"Hey, have you heard? The emperor just issued an order to let General Chi and General Ning from the north return to Beijing." A table behind them gossiped.

Shen Wenxuan immediately cleared his head when he heard the words, and pricked up his ears to eavesdrop. He is now extremely sensitive to the word "Ning", wishing to stuff it into his mouth and chew it up.

"Is what you said true? If this little general Ning returns to the capital, then the ladies who have not left the court in the capital will go crazy."

"Hahahahahaha, General Ning's appearance can't be compared with Master Fu Xiaohou's. As crazy as Master Fu Xiaohou can make people, Little General Ning can do that. However, I heard that the most beautiful person in the Ning family is his perennial stalker." The young master who showed his face, it's a pity that Lan Yan is so unlucky, and his body is so weak that he fell ill last year."

"I've also heard that Mrs. Guo seems to have suffered a serious illness because of this, and she is still bedridden..."

Shen Wenxuan paused while serving the tea. I am afraid that these are all fake news intentionally released to cover up the family scandal, oh, hypocrisy!

"Master," Lu Xiu and the groom sat together and talked to Jiao Shihan through the car window, with a very worried tone, "Is it really okay if we sneak out?"

Jiao Shihan sat in the carriage and opened the curtain to look at the street scene. Although he grew up in the capital, he is not as familiar with this place as he is with Pinglefu, where he has only lived for half a year:

"It's okay, let's go back before Ah Xuan returns to the mansion."

Lvxiu: "But...but the young master doesn't know that you came out to go to the Ning family."

Jiao Shihan lowered her eyes, lowered the car curtain, and said, "I have my own plan."

rather?Fu Yanrui looked back at a passing carriage, and asked, "Did you hear someone mention the Ning family just now?"

The little servant sighed: "No, young master, can we take a step forward and stop thinking about the Ning family."

But he clearly heard it just now, Fu Yanrui stared at the farther and farther carriage in the distance, remembered the slender white fingers that had just passed by, and couldn't help but took two steps forward——

"Young Master," the servant pulled him back and continued to walk in the original direction, "Go back quickly, I beg you as a little one, Madam is still waiting for you."

The carriage turned around and disappeared at the street corner in front of it. Jiao Shihan gradually became nervous looking at the increasingly familiar environment outside, her heart beat loudly until the carriage stopped, and her heartbeat jumped to a peak in an instant. Jiao Shihan closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

Luxiu got off the carriage and opened the back door of the carriage. Jiao Shihan stood up with his fingers clenched, and when he got out of the carriage, his eyes widened in an instant. Jiao Shihan looked at the Zhen Guogong's mansion in front of him with extremely complicated emotions. He had hatred and fear before. , I also had extravagant hopes, but I didn't expect that there would be lingering sourness when we saw each other again.

"Master?" Luxiu asked worriedly.

"I am fine."

Jiao Shihan settled her mood, raised her foot to step up the steps, stood by the door and knocked lightly on the vermilion door with fisted fingers.

Father is back, he thought, he must see him.
