The predecessor who was scumbag by me was the emperor

It is not suitable to break the ground in winter. In the winter in the north, the land is frozen very hard, so the building of the house cannot be carried out immediately, not to mention that it will take time for the imperial decree to be passed down and then processed.

But the purchase of grain can start immediately, and the news of the rich and powerful merchants is well-informed. As soon as the court meeting ended, the tyrants inside and outside Chang'an City got the news. Most of the tycoons with food in their families are willing to sell part of the food.

Grain has a shelf life. The grain they garrisoned in the past few years has not been sold, and they can’t eat it if they don’t sell it. What’s more, the government buys grain for disaster relief, and they don’t care whether the food for the victims is good or bad. Take the opportunity to sell Chen Liang, when will you wait?

A few days later, Jin Yiwei also sent good news, saying that two granaries of the Pu family were found in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the granaries were full of grain, probably tens of thousands of stones.

At this time, the ministers had to think deeply, what did Pujiatun want to do with so much food?Could it be that they want to rebel?Thinking about Pu Guogong who had absconded outside, everyone couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

It seems that the emperor's liquidation of the Pu family may not be because all birds are hidden. He must have obtained evidence that the Pu family wants to rebel. I don't know if the empress dowager knows this.

When the mines and arsenal of the Pu family in the northwest were also discovered, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty had already recognized the Pu family's desire to seek rebellion, and they all sighed: There is more than one death to blame!

"There is still no trace of Pu Zhan?" Zhao Zhang frowned and asked Ling Jingyun. Pu Zhan has been absconding for a month. If he escapes to the ends of the earth, it will be even more difficult to arrest him in the future.

Moreover, almost all of the Pu family's property has been dug out. Even if Pu Zhan escapes, where can he go?What can you do with a handful of old bones?

"I got the news several times and chased him, but I didn't catch anyone. I thought that there were at least a hundred guards around him, and every time he chased him, he was intercepted by dead soldiers. Jin Yiwei suffered heavy losses." Ling Jingyun also held his breath in his heart. The Jin Yiwei around him are all confidantes, all carefully cultivated by him, but he lost more than a dozen consecutively this month, how can he be calm?

"Which direction did you run?"

"At first it was heading northwest, but I didn't know why it was changed to south halfway, but I didn't see the person in person, so I'm not sure if I fell into the opponent's trick."

Zhao Zhang was silent for a while, then suddenly stood up and told Du Fucheng, "Let Yao Zhan take two thousand imperial guards to Xiaotangshan, and take the queen and queen mother back to the palace."

Director Du was stunned for a moment, the emperor had been intentionally isolating the queen mother in Xiaotangshan, and originally wanted to wait for Pu Guogong to subdue the law before bringing the queen mother back.

However, even if he had doubts in his heart, Director Du would not ask, and quickly sent someone to find Commander Yao, and he counted the manpower and set off on the same day.

Ling Jingyun asked in surprise: "The emperor thinks that Pu Zhan went to Xiaotangshan to find the queen mother?"

"It's not impossible. If he went to find the empress first, and the villain complained first, the empress might not listen to my explanation. Besides, I did intend to trap her in Xiaotangshan."

"But there are 3000 Imperial Guards over there, so he might not be able to climb the mountain, right?"

"Don't underestimate him, who knows that there is no one in the imperial guards, even if there is no one, as long as you are willing to work hard, you can always buy one or two by coercion and temptation. You should also take someone there to have a look, and make sure to protect the safety of the queen mother and queen. "

"Yes." Ling Jingyun also immediately counted the people and went together. At the same time, a news spread outside the palace, saying that the emperor and the queen mother had a conflict because of the Pu family's affairs. .

Da Jin advocated filial piety, and if it was reported that there was an unfilial son in a family, it would be cast aside by the world. No matter how wise the emperor was, if he was accused of rebelling against his elders, his reputation would be ruined for a lifetime.

As soon as Ling Jingyun heard the news, he immediately discussed with Yao Zhan. Thousands of Imperial Guards and Jin Yiwei were dispatched with great momentum, under the banner of going to pick up the Empress Dowager, and also announced the news of the Empress Dowager Ceremony.

Zhao Zhang originally planned to hold the Empress Dowager Ceremony after the affairs of Pu's family were over. If Pu Zhan hadn't escaped, the Empress Dowager Ceremony would have already begun.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Zhang ordered the Ministry of Rites to start preparations for the Empress Ceremony. He didn't know how many cards Pu Zhan still had, but if he was unwilling to resign himself to the demise of the Pu family and wanted to find a chance to take revenge on himself, then the Emeritus Ceremony would be a good opportunity.

And this year's Winter Festival, he asked the two princes to preside over the grand ceremony instead of him, and everything went smoothly. Obviously, Pu Zhan was either no longer in Chang'an, or he had received the news in advance and knew that he hadn't gone.

Also because of this, Bei Chen Wang and He Yang Wang, who presided over the ceremony for him, took things seriously and got a lot of praise. Zhao Zhang wanted to train them. Pan Yuan took office, and the two were grateful and glad to take up the post.

The Empress Dowager and the Empress are going back to the palace. The most affected person should be Shen Jia. The relationship between him and Zhao Zhang is getting better. The two are good friends. They will stay in the palace if they have a chance, even if they don’t have a chance , Zhao Zhang will also go to Shen's house to stay overnight, and the two of them are no different from normal couples except that they cannot be aboveboard.

"The matter of my succession...do you have any ideas?" That night, Zhao Zhang came to the Shen residence, and when he spoke to Shen Jia, he lacked confidence.

Although both of them knew in their hearts that this queen was just for others to see, but after all, she was a righteous wife, and it was normal for Shen Jia to feel uncomfortable.

Shen Jia glanced at him, and didn't express any emotional remarks. The other party knew each other's feelings well, and when he got married next year, he didn't believe that Zhao Zhang would be able to calm down.

"Don't ask me this, I don't want to say it, but when they return to the palace, the humble officials will not be able to stay overnight in the palace, and the emperor had better not come to the Shen residence."

Zhao Zhang frowned, sat across from him, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean? What does it matter if they are there or not? Could it be that I can't protect you?"

"Isn't the emperor's most important thing now is to solve the problems of the Pu family? The empress dowager will definitely reprimand you after returning to the palace. Are you sure you still have time to love your children?" It wasn't Shen Jia who underestimated Zhao Zhang. You will not know how to choose in front of justice and justice. No matter what your mother is, she is the one who gave birth to you.

At this stall, Shen Jia didn't dare to catch up to join in the fun, otherwise he would definitely become a breakthrough in the dispute between the queen mother and the emperor. The most likely thing that would happen was that the queen mother would use him to negotiate terms with Zhao Zhang. He didn't want to be the victim of their mother-son dispute.

Shen Jia does love Zhao Zhang and values ​​this relationship very much, but this does not mean that there is only love in his life. If the Queen Mother wants to take him into action, with his self-esteem, he will definitely not continue to be with Zhao Zhang.

Zhao Zhang's face was a little ugly, but he also understood that what Shen Jia said was reasonable. Shen Jia was not a messy person, he was rational and calm, and had a maturity and scheming that did not match his age. If even he thought so, it meant that something was wrong. Difficult.

"I suggest you to sort out the people around you after returning to the palace. The queen mother has been the head of the harem for decades. Is there really anything in the harem that can be hidden from her eyes? I think it won't be necessary when she comes back. How long will it take to know about us, when the time comes..." Shen Jia has always known that parents are the most difficult hurdle for homosexuals to overcome, and how to choose between relatives and lovers is difficult to solve even after 1000 years The problem.

When there is no such problem in front of him, he feels that everything is fine, and any moment with Zhao Zhang is happy and content, but when he encounters practical problems, he will inevitably feel a little discouraged. Can they really stay together for a lifetime?

Zhao Zhang gave him a strong hug, and said in a harsh tone, "Don't use any excuses to leave me, so what if the queen mother knows about it? She can still publicize our relationship? She also has no right to deal with the officials of the previous dynasty! "

Shen Jia heard his determination, and she felt sweet in her heart. Her boyfriend was willing to fight for him and his family, which at least showed that he was right about the person. As for the result, he could only do his best and obey the destiny.

Xiaotangshan is not close to Chang'an, and it will take at least ten days to go back and forth. It is a huge battle to bring the queen mother back to the palace. It may take more than a day to pack the luggage, so the imperial guards and Jin Yiwei went for several days No news came, and the atmosphere in the court became tense.

It's about the safety of the Empress Dowager, and the civil and military officials of the whole dynasty dare not have the slightest chance. Moreover, everyone knows that the emperor is in a heavy mood recently. Don't talk about doing bad things, he even laughs when he speaks. The ministers who are arguing every day at the court meeting She put away her sharp edge and became much more talkative.

Shen Jia also found that the tempers of the adults around him have been restrained a lot recently. Even Li Shilang, the official minister, would nod to him and say a few words of greeting when he saw him. It would be nice if he didn't sarcastically say a few words about him.

He asked Qu Hanlin in private, and Qu Hanlin told him: "Because of Pu Shizi's matter, I asked Li Shilang and told you about your transfer. I was not sure at that time, so I didn't tell you. I just thought It is necessary to give me a word first. After all, there are not always vacancies. As a result, the other party was very caring and told me that there was a vacancy in the south after a short while. Although your qualifications are still young, if someone introduces you, it is not impossible to fill this position. lack.

Prince Pu was already dead when he told me the news. I thought it would be better to stay in Chang'an than to be sent out. Besides, you were a courtier valued by the emperor at that time and had a bright future, so I rejected him. He probably thought you were capricious Trust me, don't worry, it's all my fault, I'll just ask him to reason. "

Shen Jia didn't expect this to be the reason, and he didn't expect Qu Hanlin to be so caring about his affairs that he would have run for him a long time ago. If he and Li Shilang were in the same relationship, then the favor would be void, all because of Because of him, Shen Jia felt a little sorry.

"Since it's because of my business, then I will go to see Li Shilang with my lord, and make it clear to him. Besides, such a good opportunity is wasted like this. Li Shilang will definitely be unhappy."

Shen Jia asked again: "I wonder what Li Shilang likes?"

Since he is going to make amends, he must bring a gift. Qu Hanlin thought about it and said, "Li Shilang...he loves money like his life, but he is still a good official. He didn't abuse his power to embezzle and accept bribes. It's good to have a number."

Shen Jia expressed that he understood that love of money and greed for money are different concepts, Li Shilang can be valued by Qu Hanlin, presumably there will be no major problems in character, and he has already thought about what gift he wants to give.
