The husband is the future chief [infrastructure]

Before the old prince came to thank Jiang Ziyan, the emperor's imperial decree arrived.

At this time Lin Zhao was not in the Rong Palace, but Housekeeper Chen specially went to the Jiang residence to call him back, and the eunuch Xiao Dezi who delivered the decree waited for a long time.

But because it was such a great happy event, and the old prince offered a lot of rewards, Xiao Dezi accepted it despite repeated refusal.

On this day, two major events spread in the capital.

The first thing is that there are successors to Prince Rong's Mansion.The old prince Rong had found his grandson, and the news spread instantly in the capital.

Many people came to congratulate him, but the old prince Rong almost refused, saying that he would hold a banquet to invite everyone another day, and then let his grandson come out to let everyone recognize his face.

This second matter is still related to this matter.It is said that the grandson recognized by Prince Rong's mansion turned out to be this year's No. [-] scholar in the new discipline, or the third-ranked scholar. He has talent and good looks, which has aroused the envy of many people.

With the imperial decree, Lin Zhao packed up his things and moved to live in the palace.Now that he has officially become the new master of Rong Wang's Mansion, his name can no longer be called Lin Zhao. He has to use the name on the royal jade certificate, and use his name when he was two years old, Li Jingyao.

However, because Lin Zhao has been called the name for many years, and he is used to it, so they discussed that when he reaches the crown, he will no longer use the small characters, and just call him Lin Zhao.

Now that he has passed the famous road and has the sacred decree, Lin Zhao can be said to be a newly minted upstart in the capital.In the past when he was on duty in the Hanlin Academy, he didn't talk much at first, and it would be better for others to be cold-hearted to him, but now one by one is more enthusiastic than the other to come up to talk.

Those who were close to the old prince Rong expressed their joy and congratulations, while others talked a little after dinner.At this time, Li Shangshu's family was not so happy.

Li Que learned that Lin Zhao, who was imprisoned a few days ago, turned out to be the grandson of the old prince Rong who had been looking for for many years. He remembered that his molars were hurting.

That means that his intention of punishing Lin Zhao a few days ago is completely futile. With the temperament of the old prince Rong, he will definitely obstruct him in every possible way, and the emperor will give him some face no matter what.

Then his previous efforts were in vain.

Li Que was regretful and annoyed at the same time. He had prepared for so long and wanted to hit a hit, but now he was messed up by Lord Rong.

However, he didn't know that what was waiting for him was not only a pity, but also a catastrophe.

Because Chen He is back.

He also came back with several people from Qingping County, who were one of the few witnesses.

Chen He has always been loyal to the palace, and hurried on the road without stopping, forcibly shortening the time spent on the road by half.

After he came back, he was called away by the old prince Rong before he had time to change his clothes.

In the early morning of the next day, the old prince Rong, who had not been to court for many years, was full of energy, dressed in a dark purple high-grade uniform, and went to court with all the civil and military officials.

This person has already surprised everyone enough, but I didn't expect that the surprise is yet to come.

The old prince Rong impeached Li Que, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, filled his own pockets, corrupted the law in the construction of the Xiangjiang dam under the jurisdiction of Linzhou City seven years ago, and allowed his subordinates to cut corners, so that the dam burst this time, causing heavy casualties and disasters. Unforgivable.

The emperor had long been displeased with Li Que, and a gleam of joy flashed in his eyes when he heard the words of the old prince Rong. It turned out that the great gift that the emperor uncle said that day turned out to be this.

He said calmly: "Uncle Huang, you said these are evidences, and you can't slander the courtiers for no reason." On the surface, he was defending Li Que, but in fact it was not.

The old prince Rong didn't know what he meant, he had a lot of evidence.

"Back to the emperor, there are witnesses and material evidences for the old ministers. I ordered people to investigate this matter. I wrote down the cause and effect on the notebook. You can see it at a glance."

A little eunuch next to him presented his booklet, and the emperor opened it and got angry on the spot.

Because the matter is of great importance, the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Dali Temple, and Yushitai are ordered to hold a joint trial among the three divisions, and the matter must be thoroughly investigated.

Above the court, Li Que's expression was pale. He couldn't stand the investigation. He had embezzled a lot of silver over the years, and a large part of it was sent to the Queen Mother.

He began to kneel down and beg for mercy, shouting grievances on his lips.The officials of the queen mother's party wanted to intercede for him at first, but unexpectedly, they were ordered by the emperor, saying that whoever interceded for him would be punished as the same crime. No one dared to say anything now.

The old prince Rong was in a good mood when he went down to court, and he had already handed over all the evidence he found to the Ministry of Punishment.The Ministry of Punishment belongs to the emperor, so there must be no problems.

He is also using this matter as a warning to others, don't even think about hitting on our good grandson, otherwise this will be the end.

The old prince managed to go to court once, and many people who wanted to curry favor with him finally saw him, and rushed to greet him.

In the past, the old prince Rong annoyed these people the most, and felt that they were chattering endlessly.

But now he is not bothered at all, because what other people say is to praise his good grandson, and he likes to hear it now.

"Lin Zhao is a good boy. He became the number one scholar at a young age. No wonder he is so outstanding. He is your grandson, my lord. Looking at those incompetent grandchildren in the minister's family, I really envy you, my lord!"

The old prince Rong would happily say: "Where is it? It's too much. But what I said is quite reasonable. This good grandson of this king is indeed very good. Not only did he win the first prize, but he was also ranked third. Sigh , I am so relieved!"

"Isn't it? I heard that your good grandson is younger than Chu Huaiyu, but it's really pushing the waves forward!"

……

The old prince, who was in court, insisted on showing off to others at the gate of the palace for more than an hour.

Sitting in the carriage, the happy beard was all raised, and Chen Butler was also happy, and said, "My lord, are things going well today?"

"Well, it went well. As long as the Ministry of Punishment doesn't let go, at least he will be exiled by confiscating his home. Chen He has worked hard this time, thanks to him finding the witness. Later, you will open the warehouse and reward him more."

Seeing Chen He being praised, Steward Chen was also happy, and hurriedly said: "It is enough for him to know that you have this kind of heart, besides, it is what he should do to serve the prince."

The old prince thought for a while, and then said: "Chen He has been with you for more than ten years, right?"

"Yes, it's been 15 years."

Chen He's family was ruined when he was five years old, and he was brought up by Housekeeper Chen since he was a child. He grew up in the palace, and the palace was his home.

"Now that Zhao'er is back, let him go to Zhao'er's side, and he won't have to travel around in the future. He is good at martial arts, and I feel relieved to have him around."

Steward Chen thanked Chen He. To be honest, he was very happy to hear the old prince's decision.

Who doesn't know that this Rongwang mansion will belong to Lin Zhao in the future, and Lin Zhao will be the future master of this mansion.It is a great honor for Chen He to be a bodyguard beside the little master.

And in the future, I don't have to run around outside anymore, not to mention hard work, and I can't stay in the mansion often during the New Year holidays.It's all over now, the little master is a talented person, serving by his side is a blessing that no one else can ask for.

The emperor was very smart, and handed over the matter of Li Que to the three divisions for interrogation, even the queen mother couldn't intervene.In other words, Li Shangshu's family cannot be kept.

The Criminal Department moved quickly. Yang Su, who works in the Criminal Department, has been busy working overtime for several days.

Under the hint of the emperor, the third division soon started the trial. Since the certified physical evidence was complete, the case was tried very quickly.

Moreover, many officials, large and small, were pulled from the middle to participate in it, and they were punished as crimes, and all of them were punished.

Li Que was sentenced to ransack the house and go into exile, but the people who ransacked the house didn't find a lot of money in his house. He embezzled so much money but didn't find much.

After the emperor learned about it, he knew it well, and after confiscating his family property, he went to the queen mother's palace.

He told about Li Que in the open and in the dark, and after he left, he heard from people in the Queen Mother's Palace that the Queen Mother was very angry.

The emperor was very happy.

The Xiangjiang dam burst, causing serious damage to the victims. When investigating and repairing the embankment and corruption, they dug out carrots and brought out a string of mud. Even Fu Yuan, who was the governor of Linzhou at the time, could not escape this storm, although he He did not directly participate in it, but he also assumed the responsibility of negligence and was fined one year's salary.

Lin Zhao got a blessing in disguise this time. Not only did he get out of the prison, but he also became the heir of the Rong Palace that everyone envied.

While Jiang Ziyan was happy, he was also worried about the disaster-stricken people in Linzhou.However, he had received news from Linzhou before, it was a letter written to him by Han Yu and Han Xiao, telling him not to worry too much, because the paper mill was in Fucheng, so it was not affected.

However, the supermarkets and paper mills in Qingping Town were severely affected. All the houses were washed away, and even some veterans of the paper mill drowned.

Jiang Ziyan was very worried, needless to say Zhang Qiu, he hurried from the capital to Qingping Town the same night he received the news.

Although the emperor had already ordered the imperial envoys to help the disaster, they were far away in the capital and could not know what the actual situation was.Zhang Qiu was worried, those were all his brothers who followed him in the past, so he simply went to see them himself.

Putting these things aside for the time being, the old prince put the matter of visiting Jiang Ziyan on the agenda after he returned from the palace.

He usually doesn't ask about preparing gifts, but this time he rarely asks Butler Chen, "Old Chen, are you ready for everything you need to prepare?"

Chen Guanjia said: "My lord, you have asked this question three times, this old slave is ready."

The old prince coughed, and said unnaturally: "This is my grandson's benefactor, can I not take it seriously? What have you prepared? Tell me."

Chen Guanjia said: "A bouquet of fire coral, a pair of crystal glass beads, a century-old mountain ginseng, and a pair of blue and white porcelain vases with carved ears."

"Aren't these too few? Add two more. I remember that in the early years, the late emperor rewarded a luminous pearl and a high-quality agate bracelet. You find them and add them."

"The old slave knows."

The old prince said again: "I heard from my good grandson that Jiang Ziyan is a businessman, and my good grandson has a good relationship with him. Sending the Pixiu from the storeroom to him is a good sign to make a fortune."

Chen Butler laughed and said, "Okay, this is enough, my lord, please don't add any more things. It's so precious, and you're giving away so much, don't scare them."

"What you said makes sense, so let's do it. Let's go there tomorrow when the good grandson comes to court."

…………

The next day Jiang Ziyan had just had breakfast when he heard from the concierge that the old prince Rong had come to visit in person, so he hurried out to greet him.

As soon as Lord Rong entered the door, he saw a very handsome young man standing at the door.

Seeing him coming, Jiang Ziyan always felt very kind because he was Lin Zhao's grandfather, so he rushed to greet him.

"I don't know that the prince is coming, and I am not far away from welcoming you. Please don't be offended."

The old prince also has a deep filter on Jiang Ziyan because of his good grandson, and he is extraordinarily amiable to him.

Jiang Ziyan didn't expect that the rumored old prince didn't have any airs of a prince, so he really came here to express his thanks.

The two were polite and talked for a while.

Just as the old prince was about to leave, he suddenly saw Mrs. Cen coming out for a walk from the west wing with his great-grandson.

Old Prince Rong was very surprised, and asked, "Little friend, who is that over there?"

Jiang Ziyan explained: "His name is Cen Yan, and he is Ah Zhao's teacher. I heard that he used to be a great Confucianist, and his knowledge is very good. Speaking of which, Ah Zhao was able to be admitted to the first prize, and Master Cen bears the brunt of the credit."

The old prince felt that even if he was old, it would be impossible for him to be dazzled. That person was obviously the Cen Xun Cen Daru who was once admired by the world, but suddenly his reputation plummeted.

He also heard a little bit about what happened back then, but he never cared much about things in the literary world, so he didn't pay much attention to them.

But even so, he also knew that this great Confucianist was indeed capable, but what happened back then was really strange. Since he is now the teacher of the good grandson, he would not mind helping him look up the old things when he has time.
