Reincarnation of the powerful minister

Outside Fusi's loft in Beizhen, a carrier pigeon fluttered down on the platform. The school lieutenant in charge of passing the letter took off the wax tube tied to the pigeon's claw, and hurriedly sent it to the Shangguan.

Shen Qi sat obliquely on the grand teacher's chair in the courtroom, with her long legs stretched out on the edge of the table, playing with a copper awl as a torture tool in her hand, she said absently: "I have all the evidence, and I haven't pleaded guilty, I just want to try the prison Eighteen sentences?"

The prison officer in the hall was wearing prison clothes, his mouth was full of blood, and hissed: "The Holy Majesty has already decreed that torture in prisons will be abolished. How dare you disobey the emperor's order!"

"As you said, only torture is abolished." Shen Qi's voice was cold, "Fingers, sticks, sticks, etc. are retained, and I can play eighteen tricks for each of them. Believe it or not Do not believe?"

The prisoner glared at him with hatred and fear in his eyes.

Captain Chuanshu walked to Shen Qi's side, presented a wax cylinder, and whispered in his ear.Shen Qi immediately threw the copper cone on the table, got up and left the courtroom, and walked to the empty back hall, just now she crushed the wax cylinder, took out a roll of small paper, and read it carefully.

"On the [-]th day of the seventh month of the Guisi year, hundreds of thieves gathered hundreds of people and entered Yan'an City at night to rob the prison. Lord Su notified the guard in time with sentry arrows, went to the battlefield to rescue local officials, urged the bandit leader to surrender, and delayed until the arrival of reinforcements. The bandits Fleeing in a hurry, Yan'an is safe, Master Su is safe."

In just a few lines, Shen Qi finished reading with breathless breath, and finally saw the word "no harm", just now she let out a long breath, and wiped her sweaty palms on the hem of her clothes.

Gao Shuo's secret report was written concisely, but he could get a glimpse of the dangerous and dangerous situation at that time.

A frail scholar, who has not recovered from his illness and can't wield a sword, yet insists on taking risks lightly and confronting hundreds of horse thieves head-on, how dare he have such courage!After Shen Qi was worried, she was secretly annoyed that Su Yan didn't cherish herself, and felt that it was expected - Su Yan seemed to be smooth and clever, but in fact he was soft-hearted and had no lack of backbone. He was a very assertive person, even if he was on the spot, he might be He can't be persuaded, so he can only go through fire and water with his own wife.

"...I convinced you." Shen Qi smiled helplessly, took out a close-fitting bag from her bosom, and put the new note into it.

There were a few notes in the kit, which were sent by Gao Shuo who released five pigeons in one go the night he entered Yan'an City.It reads in teeny lowercase:

"On the [-]th day of the sixth month of the year of Guisi, when I left the south gate to reach the Wuli post, the assassin Wu Ming stopped the car and drove to plead guilty, Master Su allowed him to accompany him.

On June [-], Wu Ming called himself Jing Hongchai, and behaved intimately with Mr. Su, sleeping in the same car at night.

On the second day of the seventh lunar month, Jing Hong pursued and neglected the guards, and Mr. Su was captured by thieves and robbers.The bandit leader was overwhelmed by the adults and was willing to surrender.

On the sixth day of July, entering Yan'an City coincided with the commotion in the execution ground.Our escorts are in time, Master Su is safe and sound.In the inn, Jing Hong chased Master Su and recommended himself to watch the night.

On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, Mr. Su suffered from heat stroke and had a fever. Jing Hongzhui not only failed to invite the doctor in time, but also closed the door of the room tightly, and did not leave for an hour.Pressed by his subordinates, his attitude was arrogant, pretending to follow orders.I found out from the boy that Mr. Su's clothes were disheveled at that time. "

Seeing the "sleep in the same car", Shen Qi was already filled with anger and hatred, and regretted that she didn't use more force when chasing Wu Ming. If the three knives directly hacked him to death, there would be no such nonsense later!Seeing the "clothes disheveled" article again, I almost vomited blood with anger, wishing I could tear the shameless gangster to pieces immediately.

I hate that my own people are in the capital, and I can't catch them. When I get out of prison and receive a secret report, time has passed.I can only comfort myself, Su Yan is kind to Wu Ming, I don't think he would dare to be presumptuous.Besides, Su Yan is not a temperament to be manipulated by others. If Wu Ming behaves badly, he only needs to give an order, and the twenty Jin Yiwei are not vegetarians either.

After convincing himself again and again, he felt a little better, but his desire to go to Shaanxi to see Su Yan became stronger.

However, as the emperor's pro-army Jinyiwei and in charge of Beizhen Fusi, he could not leave his post without authorization, and he was only allowed to leave Beijing when he needed to go out to handle cases.

Shen Qi silently took stock of the cases she had taken over recently, and calculated which ones she could dig out some clues pointing to other places, which could be used as a suitable excuse for a business trip.

While meditating, a confidant knocked on the door and entered, and said: "The palace has delivered an order, and the emperor has summoned Mr. Qian Shi."

Shen Qi stuffed the kit into her bosom, and said lightly: "Got it."

When Shen Qi entered the south study room, she didn't see the emperor, only King Yu was sitting alone in the armchair drinking tea, as if he had been waiting for a while.

When he saw King Yu, the murderous intent in his heart seemed to come out of his eyes, he quickly lowered his eyes, pinched his palms with his fingertips, and forced himself to maintain his usual demeanor.

King Yu raised his eyes and glanced at Shen Qi, and said, "I remember you. In Dongyuan, you deliberately startled the horse and bumped into it, and even threw a ball of paper into my arms, turning a corner and begging me to save Qinghe - you and him what relationship?"

Shen Qi's palms were pinched sharply, and she calmly replied: "My lord, I respect Mr. Su's benevolence and righteousness, and I can't bear him being harmed by Feng Thief. Later, Mr. Su was ordered to sort out the personnel affairs of Jin Yiwei, and I have some official and human relations with him."

"It's such a deep kindness that Qinghe can't go home early in the morning. It took me a lot of trouble to find someone at your door." King Yu pointedly said.

——It was the day before leaving Beijing!Su Yan was dragged into the carriage by him, and he still didn't come back at night... He actually has the face to mention it in front of me on purpose!What is the intention?show off?Or test?

The more murderous intent was in Shen Qi's heart, the more indifferent her face became, "The Su residence was ransacked by thieves the night before, and the report was fruitless, so Mr. Su came to ask if there is any way to serve as a soldier in this humble position."

He put it lightly.King Yu blew on the floating leaves in the teacup, took a sip leisurely, and didn't know whether to believe it or not.

King Yu didn't open his mouth, and Shen Qi didn't take the initiative to speak. For a while, the atmosphere in the study was cold.

"Oh, Gu Wang actually forgot, Qing He told me not to talk to you." King Yu said suddenly.

Shen Qi: "?"

"Said he would be jealous."

Shen Qi: "!"

King Yu looked at him with a half-smile, "Tell me, Qinghe, is he jealous of you, or me? Or is he jealous of someone else?"

Shen Qi: "..."

Emperor Jing Long walked into the study at this moment, King Yu stood up and cupped his hands, Shen Qi knelt down and kowtowed: "I have ordered you to kowtow to Your Majesty."

The emperor waved his hand to signal that they don't need to be too polite, sat down behind the desk, and asked casually, "What were you talking about before I arrived?"

Before Shen Qi could figure out how to answer, King Yu said with a smile: "Let's talk about 'jealous'."

The emperor was slightly startled, and reprimanded helplessly: "Don't pollute my Jinyiwei with your romantic hunting scriptures. I called you here to talk about the establishment of the Tiangong Academy. Does the Lingguang Temple really have to be demolished? "

Not long ago, the King of Yu asked to demolish Lingguang Temple to make room for the construction of a college. The emperor had already agreed, but unexpectedly something changed——

Jiyao, the abbot of Lingguang Temple, was in his thirties. He was born with a strong figure and a dignified appearance. He was a famous master. He often went to the palace to demonstrate various spells.When he heard the news, he immediately went to meet the Queen Mother, but he didn't know what he said. The Queen Mother said that the Lingguang Temple could not be demolished, and that the Qiancao Slope land was not suitable for building a college.

Upon hearing this, King Yu went straight to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and scolded Jiyao unceremoniously: "How can there be Fengshui in Buddhism? How can monks practice Taoism? What kind of gold is pasted on statues in your smoky temple?"

Jiyao replied brazenly: "The poor monk practiced both Buddhism and Taoism. He could also recite Buddhist scriptures and practice Taoism. As for the stickers on the Buddha statues in Lingguang Temple, they are not gold, but the benevolent hearts of millions of people."

In front of the Queen Mother, King Yu slapped Hu Xuanwu on him.

The Empress Dowager was lonely in the palace, so she relied on Master Jiyao's tricks for fun, and also hated Su Yan for causing Wei Jun to break his arm, causing her brother-in-law to be reprimanded by the emperor every day, making Mrs. Qin cry in front of her, until she cried terribly upset.

She originally wanted to take advantage of the impeachment of the officials and take advantage of the opportunity to clean up Su Yan, but the emperor was quick and sent people out of Beijing within a few days, and there was nowhere to vent his anger.So Hate Wu and Wu Di rejected Su Yan's new study, and asked King Yu several times to resign from the job.

Surprisingly, the two sons who have always been filial have surprisingly the same attitude on matters related to Su Yan.One duplicity, talking about demoting, but giving Shang Fang sword in his hand.The other pretended to be deaf and dumb, and was busy building the courtyard all day long, and rarely even went to the palace to greet him.

Today when King Yu came to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, he beat people without saying a word or two. The Empress Dowager was so angry that she pointed at him and scolded: "Lao Laizi still entertains his relatives with colorful clothes. You are good, not only do you not entertain your relatives, I can’t tolerate anything that can make your mother happy! If you’re so disobedient and unfilial, what are you doing in the capital? If I’m so heartbroken, why don’t you go to the border!”

The King of Yu bowed his head to be scolded, and when he heard the last sentence, he was overjoyed: "What the mother said is very true! Why don't you let the minister go out of Beijing to go to the vassal?"

The empress dowager's silver teeth were about to be crushed, and she picked up a white porcelain rouge box and smashed it at him: "Get out! If you dare to demolish Lingguang Temple, I will demolish your rebellious bones!"

How could King Yu be hit by a box, he turned sideways and easily avoided it, and hurriedly apologized and resigned.

The matter was heard by the emperor, and it was only then that the imperial study was summoned today.

Now the emperor asked him if the Lingguang Temple had to be demolished, and he was obviously under pressure from the Queen Mother.The emperor knew that the site for the construction of the courtyard was determined by the King of Yu, and he hoped that, under the premise of harmlessness, he would take a step back in consideration of the Empress Dowager's mood.Tiangongyuan is definitely going to be built, but another suitable location can be chosen, and the temple does not have to be demolished.

King Yu was unmoved, and replied: "Your brother has traveled all over the capital, and only that place is the most suitable. Besides, Su Yan is satisfied after reading it. If you want to change the address, why not send your younger brother to Shaanxi and meet him personally?" explain?"

The emperor was speechless, and sighed after a long while: "There is only one temple on the left, so let's tear it down. I'll talk about Xiang when the queen mother is there."

The king of Yu said again: "There is also Jiyao, who is a money-making magic stick. He opened his mouth to play tricks. I wanted to beat him when I saw it. The queen mother regarded him as a plaything, and he really regarded himself as a plaything. See Run to the palace all day, in case there is any scandal with the palace maid... it's better to deal with it quickly."

The emperor also faintly suspected that the queen mother had something else to say besides making fun of the handsome monk, and it was difficult to say it because of her status.King Yu used the court lady as an excuse, and mentioned it so brazenly, which aroused the emperor's unspoken suspicion.

He glanced at King Yu as if warning, then turned to tell Shen Qi: "Did you hear what King Yu said clearly? This matter is entrusted to you, it must be high-sounding, deceptive, and comprehensive. Do it well. Yes, I promoted you to an official position, if it fails, you go back to the imperial prison and spend another month in jail."

The emperor's words seemed to be contradictory, but Shen Qi had a bright mind, many eyes, and was able to calculate, so she immediately realized the meaning of the words -

The emperor and the king of Yu wanted to join hands to deal with the demon monk Jiyao, but it was inconvenient to do it himself. "High-sounding" means that one has to find a blameless charge, break his halo as a monk, and ruin his reputation before he can be removed logically. "Covering people's eyes and ears" means that this crime must not involve the palace.But "doing everything" is the most difficult. It is necessary to let the king of Yu successfully demolish the temple and run a school, but also let the queen mother have nothing to say, and she can't even make her feel too bad.

For such a difficult and wonderful task, it is no wonder that the emperor would be uncharacteristically throwing out the reward before seeing any results.When they approached him, they probably felt that he was quick, accurate and ruthless in his actions, forbearing and decisive—for example, he held Feng Qu'e's handle for ten years and waited until the most critical moment to report without hesitation.

Shen Qi knew that the emperor was treating him as a blade in the dark, specially used to remove obstacles that could not be seen.But he didn't find it humiliating or difficult to accept.

Perhaps this is the most suitable path for him when he climbs to the peak, and it belongs to him.

If this is done, Su Yan's ambition of starting a new school can be realized, and it will add a touch of glory to his political achievements... Shen Qi lowered her head, slightly raised the corners of her mouth, and clasped her fists and said, "I obey the order."
