Mrs. Mo said he would not agree
Chapter 43
Mo Jingchun sat in the carriage sweating relish, feeling an inexplicable vomiting feeling, as if he was full of food.But he knew clearly that he hadn't eaten anything yet, but somehow he couldn't eat anything.
In the past few days, he has always felt overwhelmed for no reason. The pastries in the carriage are extremely delicious, but he doesn't even have the desire to move his fingers.
I have lost my appetite for several days.
He clutched his lower abdomen, and subconsciously hugged it as the carriage went ups and downs, as if...
There is another small mouthful of food there, the once hungry desire has been satisfied, and even the stomach is comfortable.
Mo Jingchun couldn't help frowning because of this weird feeling, but he didn't know why, no matter how smart he was, he would never have imagined that the other effect of the yin pattern was to get the water from Mi Qingshui. Feeling full, he undoubtedly caressed the Yin lines, under the palm was the number 7.
When the carriage returned to Mo Mansion, a small figure was curled up in the corridor with its three-petal mouth moving.
Mo Jingchun concentrated, and the little fox raised by Tao Niang ran out again.
It was clearly a gray and white rabbit, but he wanted to name it Fox, and he ran around with it all day long.
Mo Jingchun bent down to pick up the little thing, and walked inside, "Did any major event happen at home today?"
Mohen followed and said calmly: "There is nothing wrong at home, everything is normal."
Mrs. Xu had already returned to Xu's house after Xu Sumei recovered.It was Mo Jingchun who sent it back in person, and also prepared a generous gift.When Xu Sumei took over the power of the family again, Mo Jingchun felt a little more relaxed.
Mo Jingchun nodded, sent the little fox back to Tao Niang, watched her read and write before returning to her own room.
Today, apart from the border wars and the southwest wars, there are several other disasters, which seem to be a peaceful scene, and the reports from the prefects of the prefectures in various places are normal and nothing serious.Compared with last year, this autumn has been more peaceful, and it is also a time of harvest. This year's harvest is very good, which makes Hubu Shangshu's face look much better, and he walks with wind.
Mo Jingchun thought about the recent affairs of Zongzheng Temple. Except for the marriages of the two families, other things were frequent.However, there are a few places where the transactions are slightly frequent, so I will have to look back later.Especially the area near the southwest is still slightly dangerous.As for the ruling and opposition parties, the emperor has already crowned the second prince, the third prince, and the seventh prince as kings, and divided them into fiefdoms. In a few days, they will leave Beijing.
Except for Jin Taipin who has been specially ordered to follow out of Beijing, the other two princes can't.
It's just that with the examples of the first few people, the second and third princes didn't dare to say anything, they could only go to the palace more often in the last few days to talk to their mother.The queen mother didn't stop them, but gave them convenience.
The queen mother also talked to the emperor, "The second and third mothers and concubines have always been happy, if they really asked to go out of the palace, there is no need to hold them back." She was thinking of the emperor's reputation.
Emperor Zhengshi: "They have no different intentions, but it's a pity that they gave birth to two suspicious sons. They have close ties with several old princes. They want to learn from the fourth son, but they don't see what they have. The fourth son has at least one son." What have they, good mother? A stupid mind?"
It has been more than two years since Emperor Zhengshi ascended the throne, and there are only three siblings left.
Although there is a reason for everything, but it can't help but make people mutter about His Majesty's cruelty. Among the three, the Seventh Prince who has been neglected has the largest land and the wealthiest.Although the other two princes also have the title of prince, they are at most two-thirds of the old seventh.
Emperor Zhengshi's temper was like this, he could clearly distinguish between love, hate, joy and anger when he was laughing and cursing, what he was willing to give was a thousand pieces of gold for nothing, and if he was not willing to give it, even a penny would be broken.
When Mo Jingchun received the decree and filled it in the file, he knew that someone from the government and the opposition would definitely play it, but this did not change the emperor's mind at all.
The prince entrusted by the imperial court, if it is a single character, is usually a prince.More than two words means below the king of the county.Even if there is land, there is only Shiyi, no military power, financial power and governance power.Occasionally, there are favored or trusted princes who can serve as officials, but this basically depends on the emperor's mind. For example, Emperor Zhengshi basically dismissed all the princes in the court, leaving only a few capable ones. Now Still running around.
Mo Jingchun thought about the affairs of the government and the public for a long time, and his body was almost soaked in the wooden bucket in the bathroom, so he slowly got up and changed his clothes.In the corner of the bathroom, there was actually a bronze mirror, but Mo Jingchun seldom paid attention to it.
Today, while he was putting on his jacket and trousers, he saw himself reflected in the bronze mirror.
Mo Jingchun suddenly discovered that the incomplete lines that were originally thought to be white seemed to gradually become complete after repeated encroachment, and those whitish lines turned into a faint bright red, wandering on the curled petals.This pattern... looks like an unusually complicated flower plant, with layer upon layer of staggered petals overlapping in one place, and the left-right symmetrical heart-shaped pattern faintly hidden in it even reveals a little red color, Like the beauty of love.
Below the belly button, the number "7" wrapped in countless lines seems to indicate an unbearable future.
Mo Jingchun grabbed the coat all of a sudden, covering it with obscene colors.
He got up abruptly, walked to the door in a few steps, leaving behind the damp and heat in the room.
[Task [-]: Further alleviate Gongyeqi's chronic illness]
[Task [-]: Prevent Enke from cheating]
When Mo Jingchun had just left the house, there was a series of ding-dong sounds from spirits and monsters. Mo Jingchun subconsciously stopped to listen to the task content. The second one was fairly clear, but the first one...
further relief?
Mo Jingchun was silent, how can this be relieved?
The medicine obtained by the emperor before was finally discarded, indicating that borrowing foreign objects still could not alleviate the emperor's chronic illness.Now that I think about it, it is quite useful, but it is actually Mo Jingchun himself.
Could it be that he wants to offer himself up?
Faced with Mo Jingchun's anger, Jingguai said so.
[Gong Yeqi's chronic illness needs enough stabilizers. Emperor Yongning was able to stabilize him at the beginning because of the family relationship between them]
That's not enough of an answer, but it does explain the spirit's purpose.
Mo Jingchun put on another dress expressionlessly.
This is what Jingguai wants...to make Mo Jingchun a stable existence?
Mo Jingchun felt bitter and stepped out.
Can he stabilize Emperor Zhengshi?
But don't forget that Gong Yeqi's violent outbursts before were more or less because of him.
But with these two missions, let's ignore the ambiguity of mission six, but mission seven is very clear.The emperor ascended the throne for three years, in addition to the opening of Enke in the first year of Zhengshi, the second year of Zhengshi was the Zhengke, and the next Zhengke should be in the fifth year of Zhengshi, but next year, that is, the fourth year of Zhengshi, the emperor added another Open Enke once.
The Enke that will be added next year is nominally to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday, but in fact, everyone in the court knows that it is His Majesty's will.
Wang Zhengang, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, said at the time, "Your Majesty, although Jiakai Enke can take the exams for the students, the time between them is too short. If they fail the exams, these students may not be able to read and understand again within one or two years. The results that will come out at that time... If For this reason, the requirements are lowered, which is not beautiful.”
What Wang Zhenming said is true.
Students study hard for a long time, and there are only so many in a certain period of time. No matter how much Enke is added, there will not be one or two hundred candidates who meet the requirements suddenly. Too frequent imperial examinations may not be a good thing.Even grass seedlings have time to grow.
Lin Yushi also said slowly: "Your Majesty, the Hanlin Academy has been released in advance. If Enke is added, it can be replenished in time. It seems that if the supplementary Jinshi is not useful, it will be tantamount to backfire."
Lin Yushi looked a little old.
The incident of Xu Shangde's imprisonment had some influence on him. Originally, the emperor planned to transfer him to another post, so he was temporarily dismissed and remained in this position.Moreover, there were also a lot of gossip outside, which made this seemingly upright old minister half-deadly angry, and he only insisted on thinking hard every time he went to court, showing an appearance of not being moved by the outside world.
Emperor Zhengshi said indifferently: "This time Enke is added, it is different from Zhengke, and you will know when the time comes."
The emperor has made up his mind, and the courtiers' persuasion is useless.
This His Majesty's temper is very tough, if he confronts him head-on, he will only become tougher.Even though the hall was extremely clean, as long as anyone who was in the hall that day would not be able to forget the blood on the forehead of the speaker.
Nobody wants to be next.
Xu Boheng sat at the front and sighed softly, but he didn't show it on his face.
It took Emperor Zhengshi more than two years to establish his authority in the ruling and opposition parties. Although it was a good thing, he seemed to be arbitrary.With him now, there are still a few useful old officials who can dissuade him. In a few years, the entire imperial court will be replaced by useful young people. At that time, these young officials will only have this emperor in their eyes.
It's a good thing, but it can also be a bad thing.
Your Majesty's character is a double-edged sword.
However, Enke has been added. For students from all over the world, now is the time to go to Beijing to take the exam.
After Mo Jingchun got this task, he began to pay attention to the examiners who gave the questions this year.
It's just that after thinking about it, he suddenly found that Zhang Qianzhao was also among them, but because they were still free to move around before it was time to write the question.If it comes to the stage of writing questions, these examiners will be forced to write questions in a separate examination house, and they will not leave until the end of the examination.
It was rare that Mo Jingchun initiated a banquet on his own initiative.
Yuan Heming and Zhang Qianzhao readily attended the appointment.
It's just that Yuan Heming found out pitifully that even if he was in the old place, with Mo Jingchun and Zhang Qianzhao around, he could only eat flower wine in a daze, and he couldn't drink any other wine, let alone spirits.
Zhang Qianzhao said with a smile: "Because it's not winter yet, you can go for a walk. But then you won't be able to get out."
Mo Jingchun thought about it and said: "This time, apart from you, there are several other ministers who have been ordered, which is quite different from before."
In the past, the examiners who pointed out the questions were generally old Hanlin and great Confucian scholars, and there were at most one or two courtiers.But this time, in addition to a few great Confucian scholars and old scholars, Emperor Zhengshi also appointed four or five courtiers, all of whom had been officials outside Beijing before returning to Beijing.
Zhang Qianzhao knew that Mo Jingchun had no children who were going to take the exam, and Yuan Heming's had already passed the exam, and they had no immediate interest in them, so he said a little bit, "Although I don't know which direction it is, but this time His Majesty should take the exam. Really test things beyond their knowledge." He took a sip of hot tea, paused, and then said, "For example, Xue Qing who just came back."
Yuan Heming said strangely: "Xue Qing is indeed capable, but he has only been in Yongzhou for more than a year, why did His Majesty suddenly transfer him back?"
Mo Jingchun said indifferently: "Xue Qing was originally good at jurisprudence, and he entered the imperial court after entering the Ming Dynasty. There were some problems in Dali Temple a few days ago. His Majesty wants to transfer him back to sit in Dali Temple."
Xue Qing has an upright temper, and he can't rub the sand in his eyes. In fact, some people don't want him to go to Dali Temple.
Zhang Qianzhao said with a light smile: "That's exactly the case. I see that Xue Qing is still on the list this time, so I know that this time His Majesty may focus on practical work rather than other things."
When Mo Jingchun saw him, he wanted to say more, but raised his hand to stop him.
"Although it's true that no one around us wants to take the exam, don't talk too much. Especially this guy, Naruto, who can't hold back his mouth after drinking. He can restrain himself when he is with us, and went elsewhere ...I know he got drunk twice this month."
Being stripped of his trousers in front of his friend, Yuan Heming became furious and snatched the teapot from Mo Jingchun's hand, "I don't even know how to do it anymore. Before was before, now is now. I have sworn with my family that I will definitely I won't get that drunk again!"
It's not that Yuan Heming will be careless after drinking, but when he is so drunk that he can't wake up at all, then he will answer every question.This was discovered by Mo Jingchun, and Yuan Heming knew that he still had this rotten problem, but he was also terrified for a while.
After all, Yuan Heming couldn't be more aware of his own mouth.
Mo Jingchun smiled and said: "It's useless for you to tell me, it still depends on how you do it."
Judging by his appearance like a worm who lacks alcohol, it is really untrustworthy.
But... Mo Jingchun suddenly remembered Emperor Zhengshi's interest in him before, according to His Majesty's temper, if he really remembered, he would not really lift it high and put it down gently.
Was it because His Majesty bypassed Yuan Heming at the end and didn't bring him up to work, or...
Forget it, these are all his own private matters, and Mo Jingchun doesn't want to explore further.
After all, Mo Jingchun had never revealed the conflict between him and Emperor Zhengshi before.
After speaking this time, Mo Jingchun more or less guessed His Majesty's plan this time.
This time, Your Majesty should get rid of the previous practice of only looking at literature examination papers, and more importantly, look at the students' understanding of the world's affairs.The imperial examination, after all, is about writing and making a fuss, and the quality of the writing will naturally affect the attitude of the examiners.Many officials in the DPRK and China are of extraordinary background and have their own views on talent and learning articles, especially Confucian scholars, who prefer candidates with outstanding talents.Just because the pen is strong, it doesn't mean that the examinee can deal with the real things well.Just by reading the articles, the selected ones will be talented people who can only read and write, but they may not be suitable officials.
This time the emperor included more officials in the category of examiners, fearing that they would target each other.
At least with someone like Xue Qing around, articles with nothing but colorful flowers will definitely not be included.
Wanting to understand this point, Mo Jingchun looked at task seven again, and felt weird.
Since Emperor Zhengshi took a fancy to Enke this time, he would definitely send someone to guard him strictly. How could there be fraud?
It must be known that when the examiners are writing the questions, they will eat and drink in the special yard, and they will not come out until the end of the exam. They start preparing in winter, enter the hospital in spring, and finish the exam in February. These examiners have also paid a lot.If it is still possible to cheat under such a strict state... then perhaps, the only way to start is with the examiner.
The inside should be combined with the outside.
Mo Jingchun frowned slightly, and counted the list of examiners in front, it was really strange.
There is no poverty in it, or at least a little wealth.
At least the matter of money is not very urgent.
But Mo Jingchun also knows that the greed for money is never-ending.
Now I just can't see clearly, but I still have time to check them one by one.
When winter was about to enter, a major event happened in the peaceful capital.
Qiao Guohuan's next eldest son was trampled to death in the outskirts of Beijing by the son of the old Qi Wang who was about to enter the city.
To seal the king, the single character is the prince.
"Qi" is even more honorable, it is the title of the eldest brother of Emperor Yongning, and he is regarded as the most expensive and extraordinary group among the ruling and opposition princes. , Hundreds of officials are also famous.The Huan family of Qiao Guo is a well-known family, and its next eldest son, Heng Sheng, has exceptional talents and learning, and the great Confucian Gu Liufang once praised him unceasingly.
Qiao Guohuan lost his next eldest son, so he was naturally furious, and he was even more relentless.
And Old King Qi brought his eldest son to Beijing to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday, even if such a disaster happened, it would be absolutely impossible for him to hand over his favored son.
The Huan family of Qiao Guo was also an official in the court, and the old King Qi also had the status of being able to go to the court.
Mo Jingchun stood by the side holding the board with no expression on his face, dizzy from hearing it.
To say that Qiao Guohuan's request is not outrageous, after all, the eldest son of the family died innocently and tragically, and it is true to ask the murderer to pay for his life.But Prince Qi's son kept talking about bad luck, saying that he was riding out that day, and he clearly walked steadily, but it was Heng Sheng who rolled out for no reason, and he didn't have time to rein in the rein to cause such a thing.
In the words of Prince Qi's son, there is still yin and yang. Qiao Guohuan's family is blackmailing.
As soon as this remark came out, the envoy of the Huan family of Qiao Guo became impatient, and almost performed a martial arts performance in front of the palace.
Until this time, Emperor Zhengshi, who had been silent all this time, coughed, lightly stopped their actions, ordered Xue Qing and others to investigate together, and then appeased Qiao Guohuan.
To say that the Qiao Guohuan family is indeed miserable, after all, it is not that simple to cultivate a suitable eldest son.An eldest son not only needs to control the family, but also has a long-term vision to seek a century-old plan for the family. Hang Seng is the most suitable talent for the past 20 years, but such a catastrophe suddenly happened, how can the Qiao Guohuan family be reconciled?
But the strange thing is that when the prince of Qi knew that Xue Qing and others would investigate, he showed a feeling of peace of mind... It was more like he also believed that he was innocent.
After all, Xue Qing's name is already well known both inside and outside the court and the field through his few relatives with Xue Cheng.
After the imperial court, Emperor Zhengshi called the Minister of Rites, Zong Zhengqing and others into the Imperial Study Room to discuss matters.After Huang Zhenghe finished speaking and left, the emperor looked at Mo Jingchun, and was about to ask him to hand in the list of clans he had listed before, when he saw a young man in his early twenties barging in, with a savage look on his face , Seeing Emperor Zhengshi, he said annoyedly: "Why didn't brother speak for me just now?"
This young man with a delicate face and a slightly soft appearance is the son of Prince Qi.
Old King Qi indulged in all his life, maybe it was revenge, and he didn't have a child under his knees.He also asked the imperial physician in private, and he only said that he was in good health, but he had no children at all. He finally had a little princess, and he almost couldn't support him.It wasn't until around fifty that there was a Gongye Liuming.
The old king of Qi only had two children, especially Gongye Liuming, who was still his son, how could he be willing to give Qiao Guohuan his life?
Not to mention paying for his life, I heard that the old prince was furious in the palace of the capital these few days, if someone hadn't stopped him, he might have rushed to the place where the envoys of the Huan family of Qiao lived, and killed all of them.
Emperor Zhengshi frowned slightly when he saw the son of King Qi trespassing in, and said, "You don't know what kind of temper you have? Even if the eldest son Hengsheng was accidentally trampled to death by your mount, but you talk to the wooden warehouse." With a stick, Qiao Guohuan's failure to kill you in the court is considered a good self-restraint."
Mo Jingchun, who stood at the bottom, raised his eyebrows, His Majesty treated this prince kindly.
Gongye Liuming said indignantly: "I've said it all, it's because Nashi Laozi's eldest son fainted himself, I rode a horse well, and when he suddenly rolled down from the side of such a big official road, I didn't have time Stop. I don't know him, and I didn't provoke me, why should I kill him for nothing?"
Although this prince of Qi has an arrogant temper, what he said is true.
Although the old King Qi had a lot of face in the court, after all, this is the capital, a place where there are several officials and gentry on every plaque.Even if Prince Qi's son had a bad temper, he would not act recklessly in the suburbs of Beijing.
There is a difference between deliberate killing and wrong hands.
Emperor Zhengshi frowned, "Xue Qing is going to investigate this matter, why are you still worried?"
Gongye left the inscription: "I heard that Qiao Guohuan's family went to visit him!"
He was so angry that he was furious, walking up and down in the imperial study, looking as if he was going to fight with others now.
Although Mo Jingchun had no contact with Gongye Liuming before, it can be seen from his words and deeds that this is a spoiled person with not many evil intentions.This "no evil intention" means that when he talks to others, he will not deliberately cover up his purpose. As the son of Prince Qi, he never needs to hide himself.
What Gongye Liuming said before should be true.
That is, in his view, Heng Sheng, the eldest son of Qiao Guohuan's family, appeared inexplicably on the outskirts of Beijing and fell down, and was killed by Gongye Liuming who was too late to stop his mount.
Mo Jingchun raised his eyebrows, if this is the case, then how did Hang Seng appear in the suburbs of Beijing?
This is another question.
Prince Qi's son only noticed that besides his cousin, there was an unknown official in the imperial study room after walking two ways.He took a rough look at Mo Jingchun's court uniform, and the pattern on it looked like a second- and third-rank official, "Your Majesty, who is this?" The arrogance on his face subsided a little, and he looked Mo Jingchun up and down.
When he rushed in just now, his emperor's cousin didn't let him out, which shows that in his heart, this person's status is not ordinary.
Emperor Zhengshi said lightly: "Zong Zhengqing, Mo Jingchun."
Mo Jingchun finally found time to cross his hands and salute.
Prince Qi's face changed slightly. After all, Zongzheng Temple has a relationship with the clan, and he has really heard of the name Mo Jingchun.Last year, his father once scolded Mo Jingchun in the mansion, saying that Zhuzi was too meddlesome, he did things rigidly and rigorously, and insisted on delaying many important things in the regulations.
If you follow the habit of the previous Zong Zhengqing, you can just muddle along.
But Mo Jingchun couldn't do it.
Gongye Liuming rubbed his nose silently, thinking that he should talk to his father after returning home, and stop cursing behind his back, after all, His Majesty seems to treat this person kindly.
Emperor Zhengshi said indifferently: "Okay, I have vented enough anger in the palace, why don't you go see the Queen Mother soon?"
Prince Qi's son saw that the emperor was serious, so he retreated silently.
He dared to act wildly because of His Majesty's occasional tolerance, not because he really dared to act recklessly in front of Emperor Zhengshi.After Gongye Liuming left, Emperor Zhengshi pressed his brows together, and said lightly: "The former emperor always felt a little guilty about Qi Wang. After Qi Wang's son was born, he was called to accompany him in the palace for half a year."
With this childhood friendship, Emperor Zhengshi was more lenient towards the son of King Qi.
But Mo Jingchun thought that this was also related to the late emperor.
Emperor Zhengshi got up from behind the table, put aside the matter of Mo Jingchun coming earlier, paced in front of the window for a while, and then slowly said: "Master, what do you think about Qiao Guohuan's matter?"
Mo Jingchun: "The son of King Qi's words were coherent just now, and he didn't show any fear on his face. The only worry was not about Xue Qing, but because he felt that the Qiao Guohuan family would use tricks. From this point of view, what the son said is probably true. real."
Regardless of the truth, at least it seemed so to Gongye Liuming.
"However, if Prince Qi's son didn't do it intentionally, then the problem lies with Heng Sheng. Why did the eldest son appear in the suburbs of Beijing at that time, and there were other people around him, why did he get out of the way... If we can find out all these , maybe we can know whether it was an accident or someone did it on purpose."
Hang Sheng died under the horseshoe of King Qi's son, and the old King Qi's people would naturally go to find others, but the fact is that Hang Sheng didn't even bring a servant with him.This is really strange for the eldest son of his family.
Mo Jingchun: "If Prince Qi did it on purpose, why did you bring his body back to the capital after killing Heng Sheng on the road?"
Hang Seng's identity was recognized at the gate of the city.
After the prince of Qi killed someone by mistake, he originally wanted to bring him back to the capital and hand it over to the government to find his relatives to compensate him.After all, according to the rules of the imperial court, some crimes can be exonerated by paying money, but not for those who escaped afterwards.Manslaughter is on the list.
In fact, this is why Qiao Guohuan's family came here to exert pressure.
If it was a manslaughter, Prince Qi's son would only need to pay an expensive sum of money, but if it was an intentional killing, it would be possible for Gongye Liuming to pay for his life.
Qiao Guohuan naturally wouldn't think it was an accident.
Mo Jingchun did not stay in the palace for a long time, Emperor Zhengshi seemed to have something on his mind, and after asking a few words, he also let Mo Jingchun out of the palace.He breathed a sigh of relief, and it wasn't until he returned to Zongzheng Temple that he found Zuo Shaoqing guarding outside his house with a sad face.
Mo Jingchun: "???"
"What happened?"
Although Zuo Shaoqing used to be jealous of Mo Jingchun's position, but after getting along for a long time, the two of them are also good-tempered people, and they are young and promising, and they might be able to continue to go up after another two years.Mo Jingchun was used to the capable appearance of the two of them, but he rarely saw them like this.
Zuo Shaoqing said with a wry smile: "Just a quarter of an hour before you came back, Prince Qi's son sent someone to give a gift."
Mo Jingchun raised his eyebrows: "Send it to Zongzheng Temple?"
You Shaoqing nodded: "That's right, that's fine, just take a look..."
He pointed to the inside of the door, Mo Jingchun poked his head to look, he couldn't laugh or cry, the room was almost filled with boxes and cages, there was almost no place to stay.
You Shaoqing said that the arrival of Prince Qi's son was extremely domineering, and after asking Mo Jingchun's work place, he carried the boxes into the house, even if a small official stopped him, he ignored it, and said it was the order of the son.
They were nice. After putting away the things, they patted their buttocks and left, leaving only a group of people in Zongzheng Temple waiting to watch the chaos in the house in a daze.Forget it, Zongzheng Temple is not the gate of his own house, but there are several other places beside it. Such a big movement, even the other side of Dali Temple seems to have heard it.
Mo Jingchun rubbed his forehead, he was used to giving gifts, some of them were stuffed directly at home, but he had never seen one directly stuffed in front of an official's house.
Of course, these things can't be left behind, but how to send them back is also a troublesome matter.
There are so many boxes and cages, I am afraid that one car and two cars cannot fit them.
Zuo Shaoqing secretly said, "When I came, I sent five or six carts."
Mo Jingchun sighed, when dealing with matters today, he will go to squeeze with the two young ministers first.As for these things, they simply locked the door and waited for Mo Jingchun to go back.
But before Mo Jingchun came to visit, the next day, at the Xiaochao meeting, King Qi brought up the matter, scolded Prince Qi's son together, and then expressed his apology sincerely, saying that he would help Zong Zhengqing to settle it later.
Mo Jingchun raised his eyebrows, looking at Prince Qi's son who was so dissatisfied by the old prince's training, it seems that what happened yesterday was decided by the son alone.
This became an interesting thing.
In the afternoon, Old King Qi really sent someone to take those things away, and finally gave Mo Jingchun a peace.
Occasionally, when I met my colleagues, I was laughed at by them, saying that it was the first time I saw gifts delivered to the gate of the house with great fanfare, and asked him how he felt.
How could Mo Jingchun feel?
He looked at Gongye Liuming standing in front of him, and suddenly had the illusion that his ghost was lingering.
Today is Mo Jingchun's rare rest, looking at Tao Niang who has been stuck at home, he plans to take her out for a stroll.After covering the little girl with a veil, Mo Jingchun took Tao Niang out.
Originally, Wei Yi went out with them, but just happened to encounter that the carriage broke down, and he and the coachman were dealing with it on the street.It's just that they didn't expect that at this moment, Mo Jingchun and the others would meet Gongye Liuming.
Mo Jingchun crossed his hands to salute, but he didn't address him.
Now that he is outside, Mo Jingchun is afraid that his identity will be exposed, and he does not know when he will be sacked.
Prince Qi didn't care about this, he touched his chin and walked around Mo Jingchun a few times, and said strangely: "What kind of dress are you wearing? Bring your daughter out to play?" The little Tao Niang behind Mo Jingchun just got up, It was he who saluted with his soft little fist.
Although it was a bit limp, Gongye Liuming looked at her age and smashed it, but didn't say anything.
Mo Jingchun: "Today is the minister Xiumu, and he took the children out to play."
Gongye Liuming seems to have just remembered that all the officials in the government and the field still have to take a break from this thing. Looking at Mo Jingchun in thick clothes in the winter, and holding a little girl wrapped in small glutinous rice balls in his hand, he really can't see the emperor. Where did the cousin take a fancy to this official?
Seeing that Mo Jingchun had the intention of saying goodbye, he immediately followed them, saying that he wanted to visit the capital with them.
Mo Jingchun is not alone in this way, Gongye Liu Ming wants to follow, Mo Jingchun is also helpless.He walked ahead with Tao Niang in his arms, and Gongye Liuming followed unhurriedly behind.
Mo Jingchun went to West Street.
After several turmoil, the pastry shop on West Street was still there. The shop assistant still remembered Mo Jingchun, and hurriedly prepared pastries for him according to his habit.The milk cake is still their family's signature, Tao Niang likes it very much when she eats it.Holding the handkerchief in his little hand, he ate in small bites.
Gongye Liuming also took a few bites, suddenly showing embarrassment.
When he came out this time, he actually sneaked out.
After all, if something like this happened, even if he thought he had no guilt in his heart, something happened after all.
In addition, he was messed up a few days ago, and the old king of Qi ordered him not to leave the mansion, but to stay at home.But if Gongye Liuming had such an obedient temper, he wouldn't have turned his back on his back in King Qi's fiefdom. He made a move and fled over the wall.
Because he came out in a hurry, he didn't bring any money with him.
Seeing his embarrassment, Mo Jingchun didn't say anything, just walked back and saw something else, bought one for Tao Niang, but also bought one for Gongye Liuming.
Gongye Liuming: "..."
Is this coaxing him like a child?
He wanted to get angry, but somehow he didn't come out.
He just kept following Mo Jingchun sullenly, interrupting from time to time when Mo Jingchun and Tao Niang were talking, talking about some random things.Mo Jingchun was very patient, and I don't know if it was because he saw Gongye Liuming's temptation, and kept pushing back Gongye Liuming's temptation.
When Mo Jingchun was buying books at the corner, Gongye Liuming finally disappeared.
He heaved a sigh of relief and touched Tao Niang's forehead.
Tao Niang, who had been holding Mo Jingchun's arm, said: "Aye, he seems to have been dragged away." Her voice was small, as if she was frightened by something.
Mo Jingchun paused, grabbed the purse, "Tao Niang, did you see it?"
Tao Niang nodded her head firmly, "When I turned the corner, some hands stretched out from the alley and dragged him away." Just as Aye was paying the money.
Mo Jingchun frowned, thought and thought, and walked into a shop with Tao Niang in his arms.
That was the shop under the name of the Xu family, and when he saw Mo Jingchun coming in, he immediately greeted him.The two families are relatives by marriage, Mo Jingchun temporarily placed Tao Niang in the backyard of the shop, and asked them to send someone back to the house to inform them, and then chased her out alone.
If it was Gongye Liuming who was taken back by King Qi's people, there would be no need to be so sneaky, he could be taken away directly on the street.This kind of sneaky behavior is more like...retaliation.
Mo Jingchun chased in the direction that Tao Niang said, but just rounded a few corners, he heard the sound of fierce conflict inside.
It sounded chaotic inside, and there were quite a few people.If Mo Jing Chunmao rushed in hastily, he might not be able to save anyone, and something would happen to him.
Mo Jingchun frowned slightly, and didn't appear immediately, but squeezed his throat and said: "Yes, officer, it's inside, I heard some movement inside, that's why I went looking for you guys." Then he made another violent move The sound of running can even be confused with real ones, and it is hard to hear the footsteps of several people.
When the people inside heard this, they replied dignifiedly, "I'll go in and have a look later."
And anxious footsteps.
In a panic for a while, he hurried over the wall and ran away.
Mo Jingchun didn't chase them, but walked around the wall of the alley and took away Gongye Liuming who was lying on the ground.
Gongye Liuming had a lot of major and minor injuries, and Mo Jingchun even felt the bleeding wound on his body, otherwise there would be no sound at all.He helped Gongye Liuming up, put it on his back again, and hurried to Liuchun Hall.
On the way, I met the Xu family who came to report, saying that Mofu Mohen had sent Tao Niang back.
Mo Jingchun felt at ease, Wei Yi rushed over in the second half, and was called by Mo Jingchun to inform Qi Wangfu. When Mo Jingchun arrived at Liuchun Hall, Gongye Liuming had already passed out.
Dr. Qin was optimistic that a big blood man would be sent in, so frightened that his beard flew up, he hurriedly sent him in.
Gongye Liuming had several injuries on his body, all caused by sharp weapons. The bruises on his face and body were not important, but the wounds on his waist and abdomen were the most serious.
Doctor Qin and Yaotong were busy working inside, while Mo Jingchun stood outside frowning.Apart from the wounds on Gongye Liuming's body, apart from the scars of venting his anger, there are only two places aimed at killing him, that is, the two knives on his waist.
It should be the kind where a dagger goes in hard, killing people.
Is it Hengshi?
Hang Seng, Gongye
In the past few days, he has always felt overwhelmed for no reason. The pastries in the carriage are extremely delicious, but he doesn't even have the desire to move his fingers.
I have lost my appetite for several days.
He clutched his lower abdomen, and subconsciously hugged it as the carriage went ups and downs, as if...
There is another small mouthful of food there, the once hungry desire has been satisfied, and even the stomach is comfortable.
Mo Jingchun couldn't help frowning because of this weird feeling, but he didn't know why, no matter how smart he was, he would never have imagined that the other effect of the yin pattern was to get the water from Mi Qingshui. Feeling full, he undoubtedly caressed the Yin lines, under the palm was the number 7.
When the carriage returned to Mo Mansion, a small figure was curled up in the corridor with its three-petal mouth moving.
Mo Jingchun concentrated, and the little fox raised by Tao Niang ran out again.
It was clearly a gray and white rabbit, but he wanted to name it Fox, and he ran around with it all day long.
Mo Jingchun bent down to pick up the little thing, and walked inside, "Did any major event happen at home today?"
Mohen followed and said calmly: "There is nothing wrong at home, everything is normal."
Mrs. Xu had already returned to Xu's house after Xu Sumei recovered.It was Mo Jingchun who sent it back in person, and also prepared a generous gift.When Xu Sumei took over the power of the family again, Mo Jingchun felt a little more relaxed.
Mo Jingchun nodded, sent the little fox back to Tao Niang, watched her read and write before returning to her own room.
Today, apart from the border wars and the southwest wars, there are several other disasters, which seem to be a peaceful scene, and the reports from the prefects of the prefectures in various places are normal and nothing serious.Compared with last year, this autumn has been more peaceful, and it is also a time of harvest. This year's harvest is very good, which makes Hubu Shangshu's face look much better, and he walks with wind.
Mo Jingchun thought about the recent affairs of Zongzheng Temple. Except for the marriages of the two families, other things were frequent.However, there are a few places where the transactions are slightly frequent, so I will have to look back later.Especially the area near the southwest is still slightly dangerous.As for the ruling and opposition parties, the emperor has already crowned the second prince, the third prince, and the seventh prince as kings, and divided them into fiefdoms. In a few days, they will leave Beijing.
Except for Jin Taipin who has been specially ordered to follow out of Beijing, the other two princes can't.
It's just that with the examples of the first few people, the second and third princes didn't dare to say anything, they could only go to the palace more often in the last few days to talk to their mother.The queen mother didn't stop them, but gave them convenience.
The queen mother also talked to the emperor, "The second and third mothers and concubines have always been happy, if they really asked to go out of the palace, there is no need to hold them back." She was thinking of the emperor's reputation.
Emperor Zhengshi: "They have no different intentions, but it's a pity that they gave birth to two suspicious sons. They have close ties with several old princes. They want to learn from the fourth son, but they don't see what they have. The fourth son has at least one son." What have they, good mother? A stupid mind?"
It has been more than two years since Emperor Zhengshi ascended the throne, and there are only three siblings left.
Although there is a reason for everything, but it can't help but make people mutter about His Majesty's cruelty. Among the three, the Seventh Prince who has been neglected has the largest land and the wealthiest.Although the other two princes also have the title of prince, they are at most two-thirds of the old seventh.
Emperor Zhengshi's temper was like this, he could clearly distinguish between love, hate, joy and anger when he was laughing and cursing, what he was willing to give was a thousand pieces of gold for nothing, and if he was not willing to give it, even a penny would be broken.
When Mo Jingchun received the decree and filled it in the file, he knew that someone from the government and the opposition would definitely play it, but this did not change the emperor's mind at all.
The prince entrusted by the imperial court, if it is a single character, is usually a prince.More than two words means below the king of the county.Even if there is land, there is only Shiyi, no military power, financial power and governance power.Occasionally, there are favored or trusted princes who can serve as officials, but this basically depends on the emperor's mind. For example, Emperor Zhengshi basically dismissed all the princes in the court, leaving only a few capable ones. Now Still running around.
Mo Jingchun thought about the affairs of the government and the public for a long time, and his body was almost soaked in the wooden bucket in the bathroom, so he slowly got up and changed his clothes.In the corner of the bathroom, there was actually a bronze mirror, but Mo Jingchun seldom paid attention to it.
Today, while he was putting on his jacket and trousers, he saw himself reflected in the bronze mirror.
Mo Jingchun suddenly discovered that the incomplete lines that were originally thought to be white seemed to gradually become complete after repeated encroachment, and those whitish lines turned into a faint bright red, wandering on the curled petals.This pattern... looks like an unusually complicated flower plant, with layer upon layer of staggered petals overlapping in one place, and the left-right symmetrical heart-shaped pattern faintly hidden in it even reveals a little red color, Like the beauty of love.
Below the belly button, the number "7" wrapped in countless lines seems to indicate an unbearable future.
Mo Jingchun grabbed the coat all of a sudden, covering it with obscene colors.
He got up abruptly, walked to the door in a few steps, leaving behind the damp and heat in the room.
[Task [-]: Further alleviate Gongyeqi's chronic illness]
[Task [-]: Prevent Enke from cheating]
When Mo Jingchun had just left the house, there was a series of ding-dong sounds from spirits and monsters. Mo Jingchun subconsciously stopped to listen to the task content. The second one was fairly clear, but the first one...
further relief?
Mo Jingchun was silent, how can this be relieved?
The medicine obtained by the emperor before was finally discarded, indicating that borrowing foreign objects still could not alleviate the emperor's chronic illness.Now that I think about it, it is quite useful, but it is actually Mo Jingchun himself.
Could it be that he wants to offer himself up?
Faced with Mo Jingchun's anger, Jingguai said so.
[Gong Yeqi's chronic illness needs enough stabilizers. Emperor Yongning was able to stabilize him at the beginning because of the family relationship between them]
That's not enough of an answer, but it does explain the spirit's purpose.
Mo Jingchun put on another dress expressionlessly.
This is what Jingguai wants...to make Mo Jingchun a stable existence?
Mo Jingchun felt bitter and stepped out.
Can he stabilize Emperor Zhengshi?
But don't forget that Gong Yeqi's violent outbursts before were more or less because of him.
But with these two missions, let's ignore the ambiguity of mission six, but mission seven is very clear.The emperor ascended the throne for three years, in addition to the opening of Enke in the first year of Zhengshi, the second year of Zhengshi was the Zhengke, and the next Zhengke should be in the fifth year of Zhengshi, but next year, that is, the fourth year of Zhengshi, the emperor added another Open Enke once.
The Enke that will be added next year is nominally to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday, but in fact, everyone in the court knows that it is His Majesty's will.
Wang Zhengang, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, said at the time, "Your Majesty, although Jiakai Enke can take the exams for the students, the time between them is too short. If they fail the exams, these students may not be able to read and understand again within one or two years. The results that will come out at that time... If For this reason, the requirements are lowered, which is not beautiful.”
What Wang Zhenming said is true.
Students study hard for a long time, and there are only so many in a certain period of time. No matter how much Enke is added, there will not be one or two hundred candidates who meet the requirements suddenly. Too frequent imperial examinations may not be a good thing.Even grass seedlings have time to grow.
Lin Yushi also said slowly: "Your Majesty, the Hanlin Academy has been released in advance. If Enke is added, it can be replenished in time. It seems that if the supplementary Jinshi is not useful, it will be tantamount to backfire."
Lin Yushi looked a little old.
The incident of Xu Shangde's imprisonment had some influence on him. Originally, the emperor planned to transfer him to another post, so he was temporarily dismissed and remained in this position.Moreover, there were also a lot of gossip outside, which made this seemingly upright old minister half-deadly angry, and he only insisted on thinking hard every time he went to court, showing an appearance of not being moved by the outside world.
Emperor Zhengshi said indifferently: "This time Enke is added, it is different from Zhengke, and you will know when the time comes."
The emperor has made up his mind, and the courtiers' persuasion is useless.
This His Majesty's temper is very tough, if he confronts him head-on, he will only become tougher.Even though the hall was extremely clean, as long as anyone who was in the hall that day would not be able to forget the blood on the forehead of the speaker.
Nobody wants to be next.
Xu Boheng sat at the front and sighed softly, but he didn't show it on his face.
It took Emperor Zhengshi more than two years to establish his authority in the ruling and opposition parties. Although it was a good thing, he seemed to be arbitrary.With him now, there are still a few useful old officials who can dissuade him. In a few years, the entire imperial court will be replaced by useful young people. At that time, these young officials will only have this emperor in their eyes.
It's a good thing, but it can also be a bad thing.
Your Majesty's character is a double-edged sword.
However, Enke has been added. For students from all over the world, now is the time to go to Beijing to take the exam.
After Mo Jingchun got this task, he began to pay attention to the examiners who gave the questions this year.
It's just that after thinking about it, he suddenly found that Zhang Qianzhao was also among them, but because they were still free to move around before it was time to write the question.If it comes to the stage of writing questions, these examiners will be forced to write questions in a separate examination house, and they will not leave until the end of the examination.
It was rare that Mo Jingchun initiated a banquet on his own initiative.
Yuan Heming and Zhang Qianzhao readily attended the appointment.
It's just that Yuan Heming found out pitifully that even if he was in the old place, with Mo Jingchun and Zhang Qianzhao around, he could only eat flower wine in a daze, and he couldn't drink any other wine, let alone spirits.
Zhang Qianzhao said with a smile: "Because it's not winter yet, you can go for a walk. But then you won't be able to get out."
Mo Jingchun thought about it and said: "This time, apart from you, there are several other ministers who have been ordered, which is quite different from before."
In the past, the examiners who pointed out the questions were generally old Hanlin and great Confucian scholars, and there were at most one or two courtiers.But this time, in addition to a few great Confucian scholars and old scholars, Emperor Zhengshi also appointed four or five courtiers, all of whom had been officials outside Beijing before returning to Beijing.
Zhang Qianzhao knew that Mo Jingchun had no children who were going to take the exam, and Yuan Heming's had already passed the exam, and they had no immediate interest in them, so he said a little bit, "Although I don't know which direction it is, but this time His Majesty should take the exam. Really test things beyond their knowledge." He took a sip of hot tea, paused, and then said, "For example, Xue Qing who just came back."
Yuan Heming said strangely: "Xue Qing is indeed capable, but he has only been in Yongzhou for more than a year, why did His Majesty suddenly transfer him back?"
Mo Jingchun said indifferently: "Xue Qing was originally good at jurisprudence, and he entered the imperial court after entering the Ming Dynasty. There were some problems in Dali Temple a few days ago. His Majesty wants to transfer him back to sit in Dali Temple."
Xue Qing has an upright temper, and he can't rub the sand in his eyes. In fact, some people don't want him to go to Dali Temple.
Zhang Qianzhao said with a light smile: "That's exactly the case. I see that Xue Qing is still on the list this time, so I know that this time His Majesty may focus on practical work rather than other things."
When Mo Jingchun saw him, he wanted to say more, but raised his hand to stop him.
"Although it's true that no one around us wants to take the exam, don't talk too much. Especially this guy, Naruto, who can't hold back his mouth after drinking. He can restrain himself when he is with us, and went elsewhere ...I know he got drunk twice this month."
Being stripped of his trousers in front of his friend, Yuan Heming became furious and snatched the teapot from Mo Jingchun's hand, "I don't even know how to do it anymore. Before was before, now is now. I have sworn with my family that I will definitely I won't get that drunk again!"
It's not that Yuan Heming will be careless after drinking, but when he is so drunk that he can't wake up at all, then he will answer every question.This was discovered by Mo Jingchun, and Yuan Heming knew that he still had this rotten problem, but he was also terrified for a while.
After all, Yuan Heming couldn't be more aware of his own mouth.
Mo Jingchun smiled and said: "It's useless for you to tell me, it still depends on how you do it."
Judging by his appearance like a worm who lacks alcohol, it is really untrustworthy.
But... Mo Jingchun suddenly remembered Emperor Zhengshi's interest in him before, according to His Majesty's temper, if he really remembered, he would not really lift it high and put it down gently.
Was it because His Majesty bypassed Yuan Heming at the end and didn't bring him up to work, or...
Forget it, these are all his own private matters, and Mo Jingchun doesn't want to explore further.
After all, Mo Jingchun had never revealed the conflict between him and Emperor Zhengshi before.
After speaking this time, Mo Jingchun more or less guessed His Majesty's plan this time.
This time, Your Majesty should get rid of the previous practice of only looking at literature examination papers, and more importantly, look at the students' understanding of the world's affairs.The imperial examination, after all, is about writing and making a fuss, and the quality of the writing will naturally affect the attitude of the examiners.Many officials in the DPRK and China are of extraordinary background and have their own views on talent and learning articles, especially Confucian scholars, who prefer candidates with outstanding talents.Just because the pen is strong, it doesn't mean that the examinee can deal with the real things well.Just by reading the articles, the selected ones will be talented people who can only read and write, but they may not be suitable officials.
This time the emperor included more officials in the category of examiners, fearing that they would target each other.
At least with someone like Xue Qing around, articles with nothing but colorful flowers will definitely not be included.
Wanting to understand this point, Mo Jingchun looked at task seven again, and felt weird.
Since Emperor Zhengshi took a fancy to Enke this time, he would definitely send someone to guard him strictly. How could there be fraud?
It must be known that when the examiners are writing the questions, they will eat and drink in the special yard, and they will not come out until the end of the exam. They start preparing in winter, enter the hospital in spring, and finish the exam in February. These examiners have also paid a lot.If it is still possible to cheat under such a strict state... then perhaps, the only way to start is with the examiner.
The inside should be combined with the outside.
Mo Jingchun frowned slightly, and counted the list of examiners in front, it was really strange.
There is no poverty in it, or at least a little wealth.
At least the matter of money is not very urgent.
But Mo Jingchun also knows that the greed for money is never-ending.
Now I just can't see clearly, but I still have time to check them one by one.
When winter was about to enter, a major event happened in the peaceful capital.
Qiao Guohuan's next eldest son was trampled to death in the outskirts of Beijing by the son of the old Qi Wang who was about to enter the city.
To seal the king, the single character is the prince.
"Qi" is even more honorable, it is the title of the eldest brother of Emperor Yongning, and he is regarded as the most expensive and extraordinary group among the ruling and opposition princes. , Hundreds of officials are also famous.The Huan family of Qiao Guo is a well-known family, and its next eldest son, Heng Sheng, has exceptional talents and learning, and the great Confucian Gu Liufang once praised him unceasingly.
Qiao Guohuan lost his next eldest son, so he was naturally furious, and he was even more relentless.
And Old King Qi brought his eldest son to Beijing to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday, even if such a disaster happened, it would be absolutely impossible for him to hand over his favored son.
The Huan family of Qiao Guo was also an official in the court, and the old King Qi also had the status of being able to go to the court.
Mo Jingchun stood by the side holding the board with no expression on his face, dizzy from hearing it.
To say that Qiao Guohuan's request is not outrageous, after all, the eldest son of the family died innocently and tragically, and it is true to ask the murderer to pay for his life.But Prince Qi's son kept talking about bad luck, saying that he was riding out that day, and he clearly walked steadily, but it was Heng Sheng who rolled out for no reason, and he didn't have time to rein in the rein to cause such a thing.
In the words of Prince Qi's son, there is still yin and yang. Qiao Guohuan's family is blackmailing.
As soon as this remark came out, the envoy of the Huan family of Qiao Guo became impatient, and almost performed a martial arts performance in front of the palace.
Until this time, Emperor Zhengshi, who had been silent all this time, coughed, lightly stopped their actions, ordered Xue Qing and others to investigate together, and then appeased Qiao Guohuan.
To say that the Qiao Guohuan family is indeed miserable, after all, it is not that simple to cultivate a suitable eldest son.An eldest son not only needs to control the family, but also has a long-term vision to seek a century-old plan for the family. Hang Seng is the most suitable talent for the past 20 years, but such a catastrophe suddenly happened, how can the Qiao Guohuan family be reconciled?
But the strange thing is that when the prince of Qi knew that Xue Qing and others would investigate, he showed a feeling of peace of mind... It was more like he also believed that he was innocent.
After all, Xue Qing's name is already well known both inside and outside the court and the field through his few relatives with Xue Cheng.
After the imperial court, Emperor Zhengshi called the Minister of Rites, Zong Zhengqing and others into the Imperial Study Room to discuss matters.After Huang Zhenghe finished speaking and left, the emperor looked at Mo Jingchun, and was about to ask him to hand in the list of clans he had listed before, when he saw a young man in his early twenties barging in, with a savage look on his face , Seeing Emperor Zhengshi, he said annoyedly: "Why didn't brother speak for me just now?"
This young man with a delicate face and a slightly soft appearance is the son of Prince Qi.
Old King Qi indulged in all his life, maybe it was revenge, and he didn't have a child under his knees.He also asked the imperial physician in private, and he only said that he was in good health, but he had no children at all. He finally had a little princess, and he almost couldn't support him.It wasn't until around fifty that there was a Gongye Liuming.
The old king of Qi only had two children, especially Gongye Liuming, who was still his son, how could he be willing to give Qiao Guohuan his life?
Not to mention paying for his life, I heard that the old prince was furious in the palace of the capital these few days, if someone hadn't stopped him, he might have rushed to the place where the envoys of the Huan family of Qiao lived, and killed all of them.
Emperor Zhengshi frowned slightly when he saw the son of King Qi trespassing in, and said, "You don't know what kind of temper you have? Even if the eldest son Hengsheng was accidentally trampled to death by your mount, but you talk to the wooden warehouse." With a stick, Qiao Guohuan's failure to kill you in the court is considered a good self-restraint."
Mo Jingchun, who stood at the bottom, raised his eyebrows, His Majesty treated this prince kindly.
Gongye Liuming said indignantly: "I've said it all, it's because Nashi Laozi's eldest son fainted himself, I rode a horse well, and when he suddenly rolled down from the side of such a big official road, I didn't have time Stop. I don't know him, and I didn't provoke me, why should I kill him for nothing?"
Although this prince of Qi has an arrogant temper, what he said is true.
Although the old King Qi had a lot of face in the court, after all, this is the capital, a place where there are several officials and gentry on every plaque.Even if Prince Qi's son had a bad temper, he would not act recklessly in the suburbs of Beijing.
There is a difference between deliberate killing and wrong hands.
Emperor Zhengshi frowned, "Xue Qing is going to investigate this matter, why are you still worried?"
Gongye left the inscription: "I heard that Qiao Guohuan's family went to visit him!"
He was so angry that he was furious, walking up and down in the imperial study, looking as if he was going to fight with others now.
Although Mo Jingchun had no contact with Gongye Liuming before, it can be seen from his words and deeds that this is a spoiled person with not many evil intentions.This "no evil intention" means that when he talks to others, he will not deliberately cover up his purpose. As the son of Prince Qi, he never needs to hide himself.
What Gongye Liuming said before should be true.
That is, in his view, Heng Sheng, the eldest son of Qiao Guohuan's family, appeared inexplicably on the outskirts of Beijing and fell down, and was killed by Gongye Liuming who was too late to stop his mount.
Mo Jingchun raised his eyebrows, if this is the case, then how did Hang Seng appear in the suburbs of Beijing?
This is another question.
Prince Qi's son only noticed that besides his cousin, there was an unknown official in the imperial study room after walking two ways.He took a rough look at Mo Jingchun's court uniform, and the pattern on it looked like a second- and third-rank official, "Your Majesty, who is this?" The arrogance on his face subsided a little, and he looked Mo Jingchun up and down.
When he rushed in just now, his emperor's cousin didn't let him out, which shows that in his heart, this person's status is not ordinary.
Emperor Zhengshi said lightly: "Zong Zhengqing, Mo Jingchun."
Mo Jingchun finally found time to cross his hands and salute.
Prince Qi's face changed slightly. After all, Zongzheng Temple has a relationship with the clan, and he has really heard of the name Mo Jingchun.Last year, his father once scolded Mo Jingchun in the mansion, saying that Zhuzi was too meddlesome, he did things rigidly and rigorously, and insisted on delaying many important things in the regulations.
If you follow the habit of the previous Zong Zhengqing, you can just muddle along.
But Mo Jingchun couldn't do it.
Gongye Liuming rubbed his nose silently, thinking that he should talk to his father after returning home, and stop cursing behind his back, after all, His Majesty seems to treat this person kindly.
Emperor Zhengshi said indifferently: "Okay, I have vented enough anger in the palace, why don't you go see the Queen Mother soon?"
Prince Qi's son saw that the emperor was serious, so he retreated silently.
He dared to act wildly because of His Majesty's occasional tolerance, not because he really dared to act recklessly in front of Emperor Zhengshi.After Gongye Liuming left, Emperor Zhengshi pressed his brows together, and said lightly: "The former emperor always felt a little guilty about Qi Wang. After Qi Wang's son was born, he was called to accompany him in the palace for half a year."
With this childhood friendship, Emperor Zhengshi was more lenient towards the son of King Qi.
But Mo Jingchun thought that this was also related to the late emperor.
Emperor Zhengshi got up from behind the table, put aside the matter of Mo Jingchun coming earlier, paced in front of the window for a while, and then slowly said: "Master, what do you think about Qiao Guohuan's matter?"
Mo Jingchun: "The son of King Qi's words were coherent just now, and he didn't show any fear on his face. The only worry was not about Xue Qing, but because he felt that the Qiao Guohuan family would use tricks. From this point of view, what the son said is probably true. real."
Regardless of the truth, at least it seemed so to Gongye Liuming.
"However, if Prince Qi's son didn't do it intentionally, then the problem lies with Heng Sheng. Why did the eldest son appear in the suburbs of Beijing at that time, and there were other people around him, why did he get out of the way... If we can find out all these , maybe we can know whether it was an accident or someone did it on purpose."
Hang Sheng died under the horseshoe of King Qi's son, and the old King Qi's people would naturally go to find others, but the fact is that Hang Sheng didn't even bring a servant with him.This is really strange for the eldest son of his family.
Mo Jingchun: "If Prince Qi did it on purpose, why did you bring his body back to the capital after killing Heng Sheng on the road?"
Hang Seng's identity was recognized at the gate of the city.
After the prince of Qi killed someone by mistake, he originally wanted to bring him back to the capital and hand it over to the government to find his relatives to compensate him.After all, according to the rules of the imperial court, some crimes can be exonerated by paying money, but not for those who escaped afterwards.Manslaughter is on the list.
In fact, this is why Qiao Guohuan's family came here to exert pressure.
If it was a manslaughter, Prince Qi's son would only need to pay an expensive sum of money, but if it was an intentional killing, it would be possible for Gongye Liuming to pay for his life.
Qiao Guohuan naturally wouldn't think it was an accident.
Mo Jingchun did not stay in the palace for a long time, Emperor Zhengshi seemed to have something on his mind, and after asking a few words, he also let Mo Jingchun out of the palace.He breathed a sigh of relief, and it wasn't until he returned to Zongzheng Temple that he found Zuo Shaoqing guarding outside his house with a sad face.
Mo Jingchun: "???"
"What happened?"
Although Zuo Shaoqing used to be jealous of Mo Jingchun's position, but after getting along for a long time, the two of them are also good-tempered people, and they are young and promising, and they might be able to continue to go up after another two years.Mo Jingchun was used to the capable appearance of the two of them, but he rarely saw them like this.
Zuo Shaoqing said with a wry smile: "Just a quarter of an hour before you came back, Prince Qi's son sent someone to give a gift."
Mo Jingchun raised his eyebrows: "Send it to Zongzheng Temple?"
You Shaoqing nodded: "That's right, that's fine, just take a look..."
He pointed to the inside of the door, Mo Jingchun poked his head to look, he couldn't laugh or cry, the room was almost filled with boxes and cages, there was almost no place to stay.
You Shaoqing said that the arrival of Prince Qi's son was extremely domineering, and after asking Mo Jingchun's work place, he carried the boxes into the house, even if a small official stopped him, he ignored it, and said it was the order of the son.
They were nice. After putting away the things, they patted their buttocks and left, leaving only a group of people in Zongzheng Temple waiting to watch the chaos in the house in a daze.Forget it, Zongzheng Temple is not the gate of his own house, but there are several other places beside it. Such a big movement, even the other side of Dali Temple seems to have heard it.
Mo Jingchun rubbed his forehead, he was used to giving gifts, some of them were stuffed directly at home, but he had never seen one directly stuffed in front of an official's house.
Of course, these things can't be left behind, but how to send them back is also a troublesome matter.
There are so many boxes and cages, I am afraid that one car and two cars cannot fit them.
Zuo Shaoqing secretly said, "When I came, I sent five or six carts."
Mo Jingchun sighed, when dealing with matters today, he will go to squeeze with the two young ministers first.As for these things, they simply locked the door and waited for Mo Jingchun to go back.
But before Mo Jingchun came to visit, the next day, at the Xiaochao meeting, King Qi brought up the matter, scolded Prince Qi's son together, and then expressed his apology sincerely, saying that he would help Zong Zhengqing to settle it later.
Mo Jingchun raised his eyebrows, looking at Prince Qi's son who was so dissatisfied by the old prince's training, it seems that what happened yesterday was decided by the son alone.
This became an interesting thing.
In the afternoon, Old King Qi really sent someone to take those things away, and finally gave Mo Jingchun a peace.
Occasionally, when I met my colleagues, I was laughed at by them, saying that it was the first time I saw gifts delivered to the gate of the house with great fanfare, and asked him how he felt.
How could Mo Jingchun feel?
He looked at Gongye Liuming standing in front of him, and suddenly had the illusion that his ghost was lingering.
Today is Mo Jingchun's rare rest, looking at Tao Niang who has been stuck at home, he plans to take her out for a stroll.After covering the little girl with a veil, Mo Jingchun took Tao Niang out.
Originally, Wei Yi went out with them, but just happened to encounter that the carriage broke down, and he and the coachman were dealing with it on the street.It's just that they didn't expect that at this moment, Mo Jingchun and the others would meet Gongye Liuming.
Mo Jingchun crossed his hands to salute, but he didn't address him.
Now that he is outside, Mo Jingchun is afraid that his identity will be exposed, and he does not know when he will be sacked.
Prince Qi didn't care about this, he touched his chin and walked around Mo Jingchun a few times, and said strangely: "What kind of dress are you wearing? Bring your daughter out to play?" The little Tao Niang behind Mo Jingchun just got up, It was he who saluted with his soft little fist.
Although it was a bit limp, Gongye Liuming looked at her age and smashed it, but didn't say anything.
Mo Jingchun: "Today is the minister Xiumu, and he took the children out to play."
Gongye Liuming seems to have just remembered that all the officials in the government and the field still have to take a break from this thing. Looking at Mo Jingchun in thick clothes in the winter, and holding a little girl wrapped in small glutinous rice balls in his hand, he really can't see the emperor. Where did the cousin take a fancy to this official?
Seeing that Mo Jingchun had the intention of saying goodbye, he immediately followed them, saying that he wanted to visit the capital with them.
Mo Jingchun is not alone in this way, Gongye Liu Ming wants to follow, Mo Jingchun is also helpless.He walked ahead with Tao Niang in his arms, and Gongye Liuming followed unhurriedly behind.
Mo Jingchun went to West Street.
After several turmoil, the pastry shop on West Street was still there. The shop assistant still remembered Mo Jingchun, and hurriedly prepared pastries for him according to his habit.The milk cake is still their family's signature, Tao Niang likes it very much when she eats it.Holding the handkerchief in his little hand, he ate in small bites.
Gongye Liuming also took a few bites, suddenly showing embarrassment.
When he came out this time, he actually sneaked out.
After all, if something like this happened, even if he thought he had no guilt in his heart, something happened after all.
In addition, he was messed up a few days ago, and the old king of Qi ordered him not to leave the mansion, but to stay at home.But if Gongye Liuming had such an obedient temper, he wouldn't have turned his back on his back in King Qi's fiefdom. He made a move and fled over the wall.
Because he came out in a hurry, he didn't bring any money with him.
Seeing his embarrassment, Mo Jingchun didn't say anything, just walked back and saw something else, bought one for Tao Niang, but also bought one for Gongye Liuming.
Gongye Liuming: "..."
Is this coaxing him like a child?
He wanted to get angry, but somehow he didn't come out.
He just kept following Mo Jingchun sullenly, interrupting from time to time when Mo Jingchun and Tao Niang were talking, talking about some random things.Mo Jingchun was very patient, and I don't know if it was because he saw Gongye Liuming's temptation, and kept pushing back Gongye Liuming's temptation.
When Mo Jingchun was buying books at the corner, Gongye Liuming finally disappeared.
He heaved a sigh of relief and touched Tao Niang's forehead.
Tao Niang, who had been holding Mo Jingchun's arm, said: "Aye, he seems to have been dragged away." Her voice was small, as if she was frightened by something.
Mo Jingchun paused, grabbed the purse, "Tao Niang, did you see it?"
Tao Niang nodded her head firmly, "When I turned the corner, some hands stretched out from the alley and dragged him away." Just as Aye was paying the money.
Mo Jingchun frowned, thought and thought, and walked into a shop with Tao Niang in his arms.
That was the shop under the name of the Xu family, and when he saw Mo Jingchun coming in, he immediately greeted him.The two families are relatives by marriage, Mo Jingchun temporarily placed Tao Niang in the backyard of the shop, and asked them to send someone back to the house to inform them, and then chased her out alone.
If it was Gongye Liuming who was taken back by King Qi's people, there would be no need to be so sneaky, he could be taken away directly on the street.This kind of sneaky behavior is more like...retaliation.
Mo Jingchun chased in the direction that Tao Niang said, but just rounded a few corners, he heard the sound of fierce conflict inside.
It sounded chaotic inside, and there were quite a few people.If Mo Jing Chunmao rushed in hastily, he might not be able to save anyone, and something would happen to him.
Mo Jingchun frowned slightly, and didn't appear immediately, but squeezed his throat and said: "Yes, officer, it's inside, I heard some movement inside, that's why I went looking for you guys." Then he made another violent move The sound of running can even be confused with real ones, and it is hard to hear the footsteps of several people.
When the people inside heard this, they replied dignifiedly, "I'll go in and have a look later."
And anxious footsteps.
In a panic for a while, he hurried over the wall and ran away.
Mo Jingchun didn't chase them, but walked around the wall of the alley and took away Gongye Liuming who was lying on the ground.
Gongye Liuming had a lot of major and minor injuries, and Mo Jingchun even felt the bleeding wound on his body, otherwise there would be no sound at all.He helped Gongye Liuming up, put it on his back again, and hurried to Liuchun Hall.
On the way, I met the Xu family who came to report, saying that Mofu Mohen had sent Tao Niang back.
Mo Jingchun felt at ease, Wei Yi rushed over in the second half, and was called by Mo Jingchun to inform Qi Wangfu. When Mo Jingchun arrived at Liuchun Hall, Gongye Liuming had already passed out.
Dr. Qin was optimistic that a big blood man would be sent in, so frightened that his beard flew up, he hurriedly sent him in.
Gongye Liuming had several injuries on his body, all caused by sharp weapons. The bruises on his face and body were not important, but the wounds on his waist and abdomen were the most serious.
Doctor Qin and Yaotong were busy working inside, while Mo Jingchun stood outside frowning.Apart from the wounds on Gongye Liuming's body, apart from the scars of venting his anger, there are only two places aimed at killing him, that is, the two knives on his waist.
It should be the kind where a dagger goes in hard, killing people.
Is it Hengshi?
Hang Seng, Gongye
