Innocent cast of white iron

Zhao House.

Zhao's Mansion is no longer the Prime Minister's Mansion.The scale is not too big, there are only a few girls and attendants left, and there are still a lot of guards. After all, there are too many people who have offended and dare not walk at night.

Now it is hot in June, Zhao Qi is leaning on the rattan chair under the tree, shaking a fan in his hand.The maid behind her closed her eyes and secretly dozed off.

"Tweety, last time you were talking about Wang Manman, the youngest daughter of the Wang family?" the man suddenly asked.

The maid named Cui'er was startled, rubbed her eyes quickly, and replied, "Returning to the master, it seems that Wang Yuanwai came to visit a few days ago on purpose to give the youngest daughter Wang Manman to the master." After a pause, she continued. Said, "My lord, this king has no official or position, but he wants the lord to marry his youngest daughter as his wife. It's really shameless. How can such a status be worthy of an adult!"

Zhao Qi smiled slightly, put away the fan in his hand and tapped it on the maid's hand as punishment, "I'm not an official or a job now, just an idler. If it weren't for some shops to make ends meet, I'm afraid the whole family would have to Went out to beg."

Cui'er immediately puffed up her mouth, and said, "Master! You can't say that! You are the prime minister, and today's sage has no talent, no virtue, no eyesight, so he will ask you to resign!"

"Presumptuous!" Zhao Qi threw the folding fan on the ground and said angrily, "When is it your turn to say these words!"

Tweety was startled, and quickly fell to her knees, "Master, Tweety was confused for a while!"

"Get up." Zhao Qi sighed, "It's not your turn for the emperor to talk too much. If someone with a heart overhears it, they will be punished all over the house. Remember the lesson next time."

Tweety hurriedly responded with tears.She had only come to the house not long ago, and she always felt that Mr. Zhao had a gentle personality and never lost his temper. Only now did she realize that his anger was really frightening.Fortunately, the old man is so kind-hearted that he doesn't care about it, otherwise he would die a hundred times if he said the wrong thing recklessly!

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.

As soon as Cui'er got up, she heard a figure outside the door calling, "The emperor is here!" Someone shouted in unison, "See the emperor!"

Before the voice fell, the little emperor had already rushed into the yard, hastily said, "Zhao Qi!"

Zhao Qi didn't expect Han Zhen to come to visit suddenly, so he quickly got up and patted the invisible dust on his body, knelt down in front of him, and said respectfully, "The grass-roots Zhao Qi will meet the emperor. Long live my emperor!"

Han Zhen rushed over anxiously, not yet thinking about what to say, let alone why he came here to meet him.Zhao Qi couldn't figure out what the little emperor wanted him to do.Could it be that he still can't see him living a good life?

The two had different thoughts, Zhao Qi knelt on the ground for a cup of tea, the little emperor still stood silently in front of him without saying a word.

Alas, could it be possible to come here specially to ask him to kneel down and make atonement?It's really too young to do such a naive thing.If it is yourself, there must be a hundred ways to make the other party's life worse than death, and then retreat completely.Zhao Qi was thinking about something in his heart, his knees became numb, and he felt pain like a needle prick.

The people in the yard did not dare to make a sound, for fear of offending the little emperor and causing death.But he saw the man kneeling on the ground, his face was pale and his back was straight.

Han Zhen clenched his hand, then let go.Repeated several times, but still dare not say a word.Probably it is the nature of a child. When a child faces his teacher, he is always nervous and afraid.Now even if Han Zhen became the emperor, he still felt that Zhao Qi would suddenly pull out a ruler from behind and hit his palm.

"You all back down." Han Zhen finally spoke.

A group of people hurriedly said yes, and hurriedly retreated.

There were only two people left in the courtyard of the Zhao residence.The little emperor stood against the wind, quietly looking at the grand tutor who was kneeling in front of him.Zhao Qi knelt on the ground, only looking at the ants on the ground.

"Zhao Qing, get up." Han Zhen said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhao Qi just stood up, his legs were so numb that he couldn't stand, so he stretched out his hand to support the wicker chair beside him.

Han Zhen looked at his pale face, with a little cold sweat oozing from his forehead, and couldn't help asking, "Are you feeling unwell?"

"No problem." Zhao Qi shook his head, slowed down his voice, and said softly, "Why is the emperor leaving the palace?"

It's okay not to say, but when he said it, Han Zhen suddenly felt his nose sore, and he wanted to cry because of grievance, and his voice was a little crying, "Teacher... I don't know what to do, those dog officials are riding on my head up."

Hearing that he was called 'Teacher', Zhao Qi's heart softened, and he couldn't help reaching out to hug him in his arms to comfort him.Stretching out his hand in mid-air, he suddenly remembered that this person was the emperor, and quickly hung it down, saying respectfully, "Does the emperor want the grassroots to give advice?"

Han Zhen didn't know why, but when he saw his hand reaching out, he had some expectation.But the man didn't hug him.More and more wronged.

Taifu, you too, don't you want to take care of me?

Seeing that he didn't answer, Zhao Qi thought that he was too embarrassed to speak up as an emperor, so he said by himself, "Your Majesty, too many officials are involved in the sale of private salt. Don't do anything. If you take action, you will kill the roots and leave no future troubles. Now is not the time. The emperor has only registered for a few months, and there are no courtiers who can be completely trusted. Now June is the month of the scholar's scientific examination. The emperor should do a good job in the arrangement of officials Plan. In this way, even if there is a vacancy in the official position, it can be filled immediately."

But why don't I want to hear this?Han Zhen looked at him, lowered his eyes and said, "Zhao Qing, I don't know who to give the position of prime minister. I don't believe them." Taifu, can you come back and help me?

Zhao Qi pondered for a while, then analyzed, "Your Majesty, the prime minister's matter is no small matter. Now the court is full of the former emperor's former ministers, the former emperor..." Zhao Qi hesitated for a while and said, "The former emperor was stupid, and my relatives are far from virtuous. Minister, most loyal people have no ambitions, and the emperor can reuse them, but they cannot be promoted to a prime minister in one fell swoop, lest they be promoted too quickly and be criticized by others. Ministers who are not dedicated to the country should not be reused, otherwise the emperor's power will be in danger."

Han Zhen nodded, but didn't listen to a word, "Zhao Qing, who do you think is competent?"

Zhao Qi said, "Li Shouyi, the father of the late emperor's favored concubine Huifei, has been an official for many years. He has made great achievements and has no faults. Half of the officials in the court are with him. If the emperor chooses him to be the prime minister, no one will object."

Han Zhen's eyes widened, and he said, "But he's a smuggler..." Before he finished speaking, Zhao Qi tapped his lips with his index finger, "Your Majesty, there is no basis for this matter, so I can't say it."

"I, I see..." Han Zhennuo nodded, but felt as if his face was burning, "But, I don't like him."

Childishness!Zhao Qi smiled, unknowingly put on pampering, he retracted his hands and rolled up his sleeves, and continued, "Diange University scholar Zhang Guan is a veteran of the three dynasties, the eldest son General Zhang Xiang has been guarding the frontier all the year round, Yu Guo Yu The people have contributed. If Zhang Guan is called the prime minister, it is naturally appropriate."

Han Zhendao, "I know that Zhang Xiang is a good man. But Zhang Guan is very cunning and has been cheating a lot. I don't want him to be the prime minister."

In his previous life, Li Shouyi was punished for selling private salt, his family was ransacked, and Concubine Hui in the palace was demoted as a commoner and sent to a nunnery.All of this was handled by Zhao Qi.There are many officials who sell private salt. If they can use it for themselves, they will keep it.The law does not blame the public, and it is not necessary to execute them all.

But because Zhang Guan coveted the throne, he rebelled in the fourth year of Mingde, and was sentenced to death after his defeat.Although General Zhang Xiang had done great service in destroying his relatives and protecting the country righteously, he was conferred a title, but the next day he went to the frontier with his troops to kill the enemy.It can be seen that the separation of father and son is a terrible thing. If Zhang Xiang and his father are of one mind, perhaps Zhang Guan can really ascend to the throne.

Zhao Qi thought about these things, and felt that the past has passed away, and now is another past. These things have never happened before, and maybe they will never happen again.

"The emperor is neither satisfied with Li Shouyi nor Zhang Guan, so it can be seen that there is someone he likes." Zhao Qi smiled lightly and said, "Who does the emperor want to be the prime minister?"

You know everything. . .Why can't you guess?Han Zhen lowered his head and bit his lips lightly, and said falteringly, "Zhao Qing, go back when you recover..."

Zhao Qi was taken aback, go back?Back to officialdom?

But the crime call clearly stated, "Prime Minister Zhao Qi has been blessed by heaven since he became an official, and he bestowed the title of title on the mansion, which should have been set as an example in the court. , causing Li Shouyi, Zhang Guan and other loyal people to die in vain... Now give him a glass of poisoned wine, cut down the nobles and confiscate their homes..."

I really don't want this to happen again.Otherwise, even if you are reborn twice, you don't want to live anymore.
