Qingjiang Yin

Chapter 11

The day after Xiaohan was the coldest day of the year.On this day, King Zhao, who was more than a month away, returned to the imperial capital. The old emperor was very happy and made an exception for the early court.

The sky was still hazy, all the officials had entered the palace one after another, Li Zhenyuan waited outside the palace gate together with his father.As soon as the five watch drums sounded, the palace gates opened wide, and all the officials entered.

Holding an elephant wat in his hand, Li Zhenyuan shouted "Long live" together with all the officials.

The emperor had already sat down on the throne, his face was a little tired, probably due to early sleepiness.He said: "Everyone loves you flat." Then he said: "Where is the order of the minister?"

"My son is here." Zhao Wang came out.

Li Zhenyuan was at the end of the military officer team, since he entered Beijing, it was the first time he saw King Zhao.

King Zhao was dressed in purple silk with a jade belt hook around his waist. He was the most heroic of all the princes, and he was the most similar to the one born to Emperor Zhaosheng.The sky is full, the sword eyebrows are slender, and the nose is like a gall. At first glance, he looks rich and honorable, but unfortunately, he has a pair of triangular and three white eyes, and he is not a good person in the end.

"This is Yuan Chi." Li Zhenyuan said in his heart.

"What experience do you have when you go to Henan Road?" The old emperor raised his eyes with burning eyes.

"Return to father," he paused, glanced at Zhong Liheng, and continued: "My son is going to Henan Road. He thought that father's martial arts and martial arts should lead to the prosperity of the four realms. How could traitors be in power and embezzle food and money? Filling one's own pockets, causing the people to live in poverty, especially in Ru and Yu prefectures, my son... I really feel sad."

"A traitor is in power?" Emperor Zhaosheng snorted coldly: "Shen Aiqing, tell me."

Shen Ting is the Minister of the Household Department, in charge of the treasury.He came out with an elephant wat in his hand, and said loudly: "This time there are three severe droughts in Longyou, Shannan, and Henan. The treasury has allocated 300 million taels for disaster relief, and it has been truly distributed."

"Really decentralize? Why are the people living in poverty?"

"This……"

"Zhong Aiqing, who is the governor of Ruzhou? Who is the governor of Yuzhou?"

Zhong Liheng broke out in a cold sweat when he heard King Zhao say that a traitor was in power, and before he could wipe it off, he heard the emperor calling his name, and couldn't help breaking out in another cold sweat, scolding the governors of the two states in his heart, they were too unclean to do things. Involve him too.These two have always been the most filial, so they are also the most trusted by him.

"Return to Your Majesty, the governor of Ruzhou is Zheng Yang, and the governor of Yuzhou is Shijian."

"Oh." Emperor Zhaosheng said playfully, "A few days ago, the court presented a memorial." He paused seemingly casually, and glanced at all the courtiers of His Highness, seeing that all the courtiers bowed their heads in fear, Cai said: "That's what the memorial is about. Zhong Aiqing, come and take a look." After finishing speaking, he ordered Yuan to tell Zhong Liheng the memorial directly.

Zhong Liheng opened the memorial, glanced at it hastily, and saw that the memorial was inscribed as Han Shi, he couldn't help but break out in cold sweat, and the two battled.He recommended these two people as the master of the Ministry of Officials. If these two people lost power and were convicted, he would not be able to escape the responsibility.

Who is Han Shi?

Han Jie, the king of Wenjun, fought against the king of Qi in his early years and helped him ascend the throne. He is today's Emperor Zhaosheng.Han Jie's father, Han Cheng, first served as Minister of the Imperial Palace in the first dynasty, and later he was granted the title of Taishi and Prince Taibao. He was among the three princes and was once honored.

At that time, Li Chongming was out on the border, and Han Yuping was in chaos inside. The two were the double walls in the army, and they respected the god of the army.

Therefore, Emperor Zhaosheng trusted the Han family the most, and also feared the Han family the most.

Later, Han Jie suffered from thirst and was seriously ill in bed. Emperor Zhaosheng bestowed cakes and fruits every day, and Han Jie died within three months.

Taishi Han was the elder of the three dynasties and had many disciples. Although he had been an official for a long time, his prestige in the court did not diminish.When the Zhong family was at its peak, they never thought of the Han family.It's just that the Han family has not asked about political affairs for many years, how can they do it now?

Zhong Liheng swallowed with difficulty. For the current plan, he only abandoned the car to protect the commander. He knelt down in fear and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty."

"Oh? What is Aiqing's crime?"

"Chen, negligence of duty! Recommend Zheng and Shi, implore your majesty to come down!"

"Aiqing, please stand up." Emperor Zhaosheng's tone was not angry, but rather leisurely: "This matter has not been confirmed yet, why should Aiqing be in a hurry to plead guilty?"

"In my opinion, the governor is a governor of a state. It should not be judged lightly, and someone should be sent to investigate the truth."

"All dear friends, who can take on this important task?"

"Report to Emperor Father." Yuan Chi said: "I think that the third younger brother is the most fair man, and he can take on this great responsibility."

"Yuan Chen?" Emperor Zhao Sheng's eyes passed over the ministers and landed on Yuan Chen.

Yuan Chen, who had kept his head down, stood up and went out, saying: "Your servant takes orders."

Li Zhenyuan walked with all the officials, seeing Ruan Fengxie not far behind, he stopped and said, "Ruan Shaoqing."

Ruan Fengxie stopped in her tracks, her long fox eyes were filled with surprise, probably because she didn't expect that Li Zhenyuan would take the initiative to talk to him: "General Li."

Watching Zhong Liheng's reaction, Li Zhenyuan guessed that Han Shi must have signed the memorial, but Ruan Fengxie was uncharacteristically silent in the court hall, presumably because he knew about it early in the morning.

"I'm about to visit an old friend, Shaoqing, would you like to go with me?"

A jug of wine among the flowers, drinking alone without a blind date.The name Huajianju is taken from this sentence.The Imperial Capital Inn is the most elegant, and it is also loved by many literati.

Han Shi was making tea and drinking tea. He was not surprised when he saw Li Zhenyuan and Ruan Fengxie, and smiled gently at the two of them: "You two came just in time. Let's try some tea-making skills."

Li Zhenyuan and Han Shi are friends of the president, so naturally they will not stick to etiquette and sit down in front of Han Shi.

However, Ruan Fengxie bowed respectfully: "Ruan Fengxie, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, has met Prince Wen."

"Yes." Han Shi replied: "I heard about Shaoqing's fame earlier, but when I saw him today, he is indeed a talented person, and his reputation is well-deserved."

"Ruan is very grateful for the great kindness of the Han family." Ruan Fengxie's father was once a disciple of Han Cheng. When he was wronged, Grand Master Han wrote a letter and handed it to King Zhao.

Li Zhenyuan didn't know the details, so he was a little confused at first, and turned to look at Han Shi. "It's all old things." Han Shi's tone was indifferent, and he waved his hands: "It's a little effort, so don't mention it again."

Ruan Fengxie just sat down.

Han Shi filled a glass for each of them.Li Zhenyuan picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp. He only felt the bitterness before the sweetness, but he regretted drinking too fast.

But Ruan Fengxie on the side said: "Looking at the shape of the tea is white and fluffy, smelling the tea is fresh and long-lasting, observing the color of the tea is light yellow and clear, the taste is mellow and sweet, but Junshan Silver Needle?"

"Exactly." Han Shi nodded, and poured another cup for the two of them: "This is the third tea."

Li Zhenyuan is fond of drinking, and he doesn't know much about the tea ceremony. He didn't know that there are so many ways. Listening to Ruan Fengxie's lectures on observing, listening, observing, and tasting, they are so meticulous, and he feels a sense of admiration.

After the three of them drank three courses of tea, Han Shi said, "My younger brother came to Beijing this time because of his application."

"Apply?" Li Zhenyuan was taken aback. Han Shi was born as a county king, and his family background was from the fourth rank, so he didn't need to pass the imperial examination at all.

"When my younger brother was in Jiankang, he had a night dream of a big purple bird with colorful writings. It flew down and stood on the sycamore tree in front of the court. It lingered for a long time. I told my grandfather. My father said that this bird is a bird, the assistant of the phoenix. Teisuke."
