It is said that good things never go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.In fact, it is not entirely true, at least the reputation of Jia Zhen's Master Qingtian is very loud in Nanzhili, not to mention among these officials, even the common people have heard of it to some extent, although many of them have become a bit exaggerated in the rumors.When Jia Zhen and his party arrived at Huai'an Mansion, it was already sunset, and officials who had heard the news came to greet them. "My lord seems to be in a hurry." The official in charge of the reception asked cautiously. "It's natural, I don't want to delay this journey." Jia Zhen said with a smile. "Didn't your lord want to go to Fengyang Mansion?" The reception official saw Jia Zhenyan laughing at Yanyan, not as scary as the rumors said, saying that just looking at you with a pair of eyes makes you feel chilly and heartbroken. I relaxed a little, thinking about the order from above, and asked carefully.

"That's not the case. If I hadn't gotten the news, I'd have stayed in Fengyang Mansion for several days now." Jia Zhen seemed not aware of the reception official's intentions, said. "I don't know what news my lord has?" The reception official asked Jia Zhen casually while graciously leading Jia Zhen to the rest place that had been prepared for a long time. "What else can you say, it's just those things." Jia Zhen said impatiently, pretending to complain.The reception official is a smart person who knows how to accept as soon as he sees a deal.What Jia Zhen does is to investigate corrupt officials, observe people's livelihood, and end unjust imprisonment. I am afraid that someone stopped Jia Zhen and filed a complaint.

"Did you find out what?" The prefect of Huai'an Prefecture and other officials could hardly sit still, and even drank several cups of tea before waiting for the official in charge of receiving Jia Zhen.The receiving officials learned what they had heard. The officials were relieved at first, but then they couldn't help being a little worried. "What should I do?" An official frowned, and there were still some tails on his side that hadn't been cleaned up. "Hurry up and do it quickly. This Jia Zhen is a master who her six relatives don't recognize. Their Jia family and Zhen family can be regarded as old relatives. When they were in Jinling, Jia Zhen ran the Zhen family as usual. How deep is the land in Yangzhou?" I don't know, but Jia Zhen insisted on doing it. We can't take it lightly." The magistrate of Huai'an Prefecture hurriedly said, a big stone in his heart fell slightly, and he finally had the energy to spare to care about other things.

"Don't worry, magistrate, there is no such thing as injustice in this world, we just need to shed some blood, and at worst, they will never be able to open their mouths." The Tongzhi of Huai'an Prefecture said, and at the end, his face showed a ruthless expression, "This Huai'an After all, the mansion is our territory, and even if Jia Zhen has three heads and six arms, I'm afraid we won't be able to find out anything." "Don't take it lightly, those people in Yangzhou are not stupid, or they will all be chopped off by Jia Zhen anyway. Besides, Jia Zhen He used to be the county magistrate in Sheyang County, so he doesn't have some confidence in his heart." Tongpan and Tongzhi have always been at odds, so he couldn't help but sneer.Tongzhi couldn't help but glared at Tongjuan, and said: "He used to be the magistrate of Sheyang County, and that was almost ten years ago. Even if there were some people back then, I'm afraid they are useless now." "Stop arguing, there are big things to do at the top, we can't mess it up." The magistrate of Huai'an Prefecture was interrupted by a few of them, his head ached, "Send someone to keep an eye on Jia Zhen, don't call him Find out what."

Here, the officials of Huai'an Mansion stayed up all night, thinking about Jia Zhen's intention and actions.Over there, as soon as Jia Zhen sent away the officials in charge of reception, she secretly met with a few guards. "Thank you, my lords." Seeing them coming in, Jia Zhen hurriedly saluted. "Your Majesty Jia, you are being polite. If it weren't for Master Jia's method, the few of us might not be able to enter Huai'an Mansion." One of the men with a dark face and starry eyebrows said. "We are all dedicated to our duties for the Holy One." Jia Zhen smiled slightly, and came together with the officials who delivered the decree, as well as these confidant officials secretly sent by the Emperor Zhenghe. Bringing them into Huai'an Mansion, Jia Zhen asked these officials to act as her guards of honor and accompany them.

"We Ming people don't speak dark words. Although each has official duties, it is inconvenient to speak. However, Mr. Jia once served as the magistrate of Sheyang County, don't you know?" another official named Li An with thick eyebrows and big eyes said. . "I have the heart to help, but it's me. I'm afraid I have to rely on myself now." Jia Zhen is smart, deliberating from the secret decree given to her by the government and the emperor, but she can guess the origin and mission of these officials. "My lord Jia, the Huai'an Mansion has requested funds from the imperial court every year these years. The Holy Majesty has carefully sent people to verify that it is much more than in previous years, especially for several large expenditures." Li An nodded, and it seemed that they were going to The difficulties faced are probably even greater. "Lord Li, I'm here to investigate corrupt officials. As long as they reach out and take the money, they should be killed." Jia Zhen narrowed her eyes. After all, he had heard a lot of things when he was the county magistrate, but he was full of energy at the time. His heart was on Sheyang, and he was only a small official at that time, so he didn't say much.Emperor Wen Yuan was another emperor who whitewashed peace, so naturally he would not stand out, but now it is different.

"With Mr. Jia's words, I feel relieved." The man named Hu Ji, who had a sharp eyebrow and star, said in a deep voice, and asked carefully, "I don't know where Mr. Jia plans to investigate?" "We don't have much time. , and it is not easy to make too much noise, so as not to disrupt the plan of the sage, it is better to start from the bottom up, and it will be convenient for several adults to act." Jia Zhen thought about it carefully, and according to Zheng Hedi's intention, I am afraid that it will be wiped out, then He can't act like he did in Yangzhou and Jinling. "Master Jia is really a smart person." Hu Ji couldn't help tightening his hands in his sleeves slightly. This Jia Boxi might have already guessed some of their mission. They thought that Jia Zhen was just a rare and courageous person who worked for the people. Thinking about it, he was too sharp, but he didn't expect that he was a thoughtful person who knew how to make choices. No wonder Zhenghe Emperor looked at Jia Boxi differently.

Several people discussed and decided, and then acted separately.Only Jia Zhen was meditating in the study, thinking about where to start. Those ordinary people would never intervene if the officials hadn't raided them and meddled in their own business.As for those case books, he believes that the officials of Huai'an Mansion must have wiped them out a long time ago, and it is really difficult to get started. "What happened to Bai Shu and the others?" Jia Zhen called her butler and asked. "Master, don't worry, they will follow the master's order and sneak in tomorrow. If they get any news, they will definitely come and tell the master as soon as possible." Knowing that this matter is very important, Steward Wang quickly replied. "I see, you have to handle things here carefully, and don't let some sand come in." Jia Zhen nodded, and he still believed in Bai Shu's ability. There are omissions.His worst enemy is not these officials, but time.

Leaving aside the Huai'an Mansion, just saying that Emperor Wenyuan fell ill and had a stroke, and in the court hall, it was like a stone stirring up thousands of waves. The superiority, after all, is not comparable to the strength managed by Emperor Wen Yuan, with deep and wide roots.These officials were attached to Emperor Wenyuan, and although they dared not confront Emperor Zhenghe on the surface, they did not cause less trouble secretly.However, to his surprise, Emperor Wen Yuan could not speak this time, his face was distorted, he was half paralyzed, and could only lie on the bed.In such a situation, Emperor Wenyuan could no longer call the wind and rain in the court, and as the new emperor, Emperor Zhenghe probably would not give Emperor Wenyuan a chance to stand up.

Therefore, in the past few days when the news spread, Emperor Zhenghe clearly felt the changes in the court. He knew that the current internal troubles were not resolved, and he could not make too much action for the time being. make life difficult for. "I think the Holy Majesty is still busy these few days, but his energy is much better than before." Empress Liu served tea, specially making Zhenghedi's favorite Longjing, and said with a smile. "You're right, it's just that I still have a lot of clues in my hands, which makes me worry." Emperor Zhenghe smiled, took the Queen's heart, and took a sip. "The sage is wise, and he will definitely be able to handle everything well." The corners of Liu's mouth curled up, not to mention that Zheng Hedi was busy, even she, the queen, was also very busy and tired. After all, managing the prince's mansion is somewhat different from managing the entire harem. When the queen mother loved her, she gave her a lot of care, or gave her some pointers, which always made her enlightened.Mrs. Liu admired her mother-in-law very much. For many years, the queen's position has always been stable, and she had the last laugh. After becoming the queen mother, even the emperor did not dare to be dissatisfied. After all, the emperor and the queen mother have always been close, but rarely contact His father, the emperor, always favored the queen mother in his heart.

"Yunsheng, you have a lot of words to comfort me. The things in the palace will bother the queen mother and you." Emperor Zhenghe didn't have much energy to take care of the harem. Emperor Yuan's illness has been blocked, and he doesn't have much free time.

The two talked a lot more before Zheng and Di got up and went to the study to review the memorials that needed to be read. "The Holy Majesty's move to calm the people has achieved initial results, but some local government orders are not in order, and there is still not much improvement." The official in charge of handling this matter reported the current situation to Zheng Hedi one by one.Zheng Hedi frowned slightly. All the important people in his hands had been sent out, and he couldn't spare any manpower to deal with these country moths and trash.

"Look carefully at the King of Nan'an County, he is a little dishonest." Emperor Zhenghe lowered his head slightly, looked at the memorial he had approved before, and felt satisfied, so he changed a copy. "Just don't worry, Your Majesty." The official under Busy You said flatteringly. "I never like to hear good words. What I want to see is your ability and actions, how to truly share my worries. Please rest assured that there is no need for me. I am in good health. And I don't need to write those flattery words anymore, I see It makes me upset." Emperor Zheng He suddenly raised his head, staring at his humerus ministers carefully, and said with a little dissatisfaction.

"The next official obeys the order." Which of the officials who can enter the government and report to the emperor's study is not a human being, and immediately understands the meaning of the Holy Majesty.Speaking of which, these officials put all their heart and soul into writing these invitations for Anzhe, after all, it is for their own future, hoping to use their strength to go to the sky. You must know that Emperor Wen Yuan attached great importance to these zhezi, and it took a lot of effort every day at the beginning Seeing such flashy things, several officials even won the favor of Emperor Wenyuan because of the good writing of this book, and they were promoted. There are all living beings in this world, whether they are businessmen or nobles, who doesn't like to listen to good words? ?What I didn't expect was that Zheng Hedi ordered the abolition of this system just as soon as he gained a firm foothold. Many officials have noticed from these small actions that the relationship between the Tian family father and son is probably not very good now, and they can't help secretly Fortunately, Emperor Wen Yuan had a stroke, and it was so serious, otherwise, a life-and-death battle between the two sides would have been unavoidable.The big gods fight, the little ghosts suffer, and in the end it is these officials who suffer.

Zheng Hedi pondered over his plans and assumptions in the study, especially after he got a very important news, he strengthened his resolve - he absolutely cannot lose this round. "Your Majesty, use some snacks." The eunuch who served Emperor Wenyuan saw Zheng Hedi's expression, speculated in his heart, and said cautiously. "Okay, serve it up." Zheng Hedi felt a little hungry, so he complied, and was even more satisfied with the eunuch who served him.
