Datang traitor

When Qin Yuan saw his eldest grandson Wuji arrive, he happily asked him to sit down.

"I heard that you were arrogant just after I left, so come here to have a look."

Changsun Wuji sat down at the seat invited by Changsun Wuji, then raised his eyebrows and deliberately stared at Qin Yuan to see what play he was about to sing.

"Actually, I said that on purpose, otherwise grandson grandson would condescend to come to me." Qin Yuan excitedly asked grandson Wuji to see how his house is arranged, whether it is more beautiful than his previous one.

Changsun Wuji gave Qin Yuan a blank look, "You purposely put words to provoke me, just to let me judge whether your poor house is good or not?"

"How can it be a broken house? The house where the eldest grandson stayed must be full of prosperity and harmony, and there must be good things." Qin Yuan said with a smile.

Changsun Wuji already didn't like Qin Yuan's set, "According to what you said, I'll be fine if I stay in the cemetery?"

"Yes, why don't you try?" Qin Yuan pretended to be serious and suggested.

Changsun Wuji glared at Qin Yuan angrily, "Don't be silly, I can't make this trip in vain. Since you have been promoted, you should host a banquet and thank you benefactor."

The 'benefactor' mentioned by Changsun Wuji naturally refers to himself.

"Let me invite Duke Yuchi and Duke Wei?" Qin Yuan shook his head, "I dare not!"

Changsun Wuji really wanted to beat Qin Yuan to death with a hammer at this moment, and warned Qin Yuan not to look for him in the future, but to go to his good benefactors Yuchi Jingde and Wei Zheng.

"Okay, okay, blame me for not being able to speak, how about giving you six jars of cherry wine as an apology?" Qin Yuan immediately asked cleverly.

Changsun Wuji sat back to his original position, his face softened a little.

"I have a very important question for you."

Qin Yuan hesitated for a while, and tried to speak several times, but in the end he couldn't speak.

"Are you going to tell me or not?" Changsun Wuji urged Qin Yuan impatiently.

"Is our relationship good? Can I ask you any questions?" Qin Yuan looked around and quietly asked Changsun Wuji.

Seeing Qin Yuan like this, Changsun Wuji became more cautious and nodded slightly.

"How long do you think I will be able to achieve the first grade?" Qin Yuan raised a finger.

Changsun Wuji waited for a while, seeing that Qin Yuan didn't say anything, but actually just asked this question, he looked up and down Qin Yuan in surprise.

"Your ambition is not small. Now that you have been an official for less than half a year, you are already among the ranks of Jiuqing, and you are still not satisfied? Do you still want to be a first-rank?"

"To be a human being, one must always climb the peak and strive for progress." Qin Yuan explained.

"It's the first time I've heard people talk about greed for power and money so nicely."

Changsun Wuji immediately saw Qin Yuan looking at him eagerly, so it was hard to scold him again.People are greedy, it is inevitable.Qin Yuan's ability to ask him like this without shy away shows that he trusts him.

Changsun Wuji explained to Qin Yuan that his request was a bit difficult.Nowadays, there is no first-rank official position in real positions. If Qin Yuan wants to seek first-rank, he can only rely on his great achievements to get a title.However, the first-rank officials in the current dynasty are either relatives of the emperor or heroes of the founding of the country.During this period of time, although Qin Yuan solved the case efficiently and made meritorious deeds, his contributions were far from those of the founding heroes.Besides, the sage had already appointed Qin Yuan an official based on his outstanding performance, and it was not his turn to be a knight.

"Oh, I also find it difficult." Qin Yuan lay powerlessly on the table, thinking that he might have to continue working for two or thirty years to achieve the goal of being a first-rank official.

"You are currently holding the third rank of the real job, and you are in the rank of Jiuqing. Compared with those who only have a title, you are actually more powerful. You are already extremely honorable and enviable. Why are you still greedy and insist on a title?" Changsun Wuji persuaded Qin Yuan should restrain himself, don't think too highly of himself because of being a high-ranking official, or be frivolously complacent, otherwise one day he will fall miserably.

"Then I don't want a real job, just a first-rank title." Qin Yuan said.

Changsun Wuji was stunned, and silently looked at Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan was looked at with hairs all over, and asked Changsun Wuji what happened.

"You don't want power, but why do you only want the name Yipin?"

Generally speaking, officials with real positions and real power are even respected like ancestors by those who only have titles.Holding power in your hands is the most gratifying thing.Qin Yuan was actually willing to give up his position as the Minister of Dali Temple, and only received an idle title.This idea is completely different from ordinary people.

Changsun Wuji felt that he was wrong in judging Qin Yuan with ordinary people's thinking just now.He thought that Qin Yuan was really greedy and not as detached as before, but in the end Qin Yuan was still the same blame Qin Yuan.

"I--"

Qin Yuan didn't know how to explain it. He couldn't tell Changsun Wuji that he wanted to sit on the official position so that he could eat and drink as usual in the future without being affected by farm food.

"Forget it, everything is arranged in the dark, and I am impatient."

"Could it be that you want to get the title and pass it on to your descendants?" Changsun Wuji could only think of this, laughed and slapped his thigh, "But you don't even have a woman so far, where are you going to have descendants!"

Qin Yuan was so angry that he returned countless rolls of eyes to Changsun Wuji.

"Don't let me feel that being an official is tired and I just want to live a leisurely life?"

"You are alone, you lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests earlier, and you don't care about fame and fortune. Now that you really want to live a leisurely life, do you still care about the title?" Changsun Wuji wondered what the purpose of Qin Yuan's strange request was, "It's really getting better and better. I don't understand you anymore."

Qin Yuan: "I'm just so different from ordinary people. Otherwise, grandson with eyes like torches, how could he value me so much?"

Changsun Wuji liked Qin Yuan's compliments, but it was not so pleasant to hear Qin Yuan praise himself first.

"I'm afraid your skin is thicker than the soles of your shoes."

As it was getting late, Changsun Wuji got up and wanted to leave. Before leaving, he warned Qin Yuan with a vengeance, "You have made a note of your vengeance for playing with me today, and I will definitely give you good fruit some other day."

Qin Yuan immediately asked: "What fruit, sweet and sour?"

Qin Yuan's words made Changsun Wuji angry again, and left with a cold snort.

Qin Yuan chased him out and shouted: "I gave you wine, do you still hold grudges?"

Changsun Wuji ignored him, and his back quickly disappeared from Qin Yuan's sight.

Qin Yuan sighed, lamenting that it was not easy for him to make friends but met such a narrow-minded person.

Dai Zhou and Sun Fujia approached when they heard the sound, and asked Qin Yuan if he said he was going to give wine just now.

"It has nothing to do with you." After Qin Yuan finished speaking, seeing the two of them looking at him eagerly, they also smiled and congratulated him on his promotion.Qin Yuan's heart softened, so he gave each of them two jars of freshly brewed lychee wine.

"I can remember clearly that when Qin Siqing first came to our Dali Temple, he liked to give out cherries to everyone when he first came." Dai Zhou sighed.

Sun Fujia promised that he also remembered this incident clearly, as if it happened yesterday.But today, Qin Yuan has become their superior.It's impossible not to be envious, but Qin Yuan's ability to handle cases is obvious to all, and he still needs to be convinced where he should be convinced.

"Yes, Qin Siqing, don't forget to be sympathetic to the officials and others." Sun Fujia followed suit with Dai Zhou, the purpose is to get more good wine from Qin Yuan.

"Dali Temple has to rely on the help of the two of you for many matters, otherwise I can't support it alone." Qin Yuan changed his frivolous behavior in front of Changsun Wuji just now, and saluted Dai Zhou and Sun Fujia very humbly and respectfully, and It was still outside the door, in front of everyone in Dali Temple.

This move gave enough face to Dai Zhou and Sun Fujia, the two hurriedly said that they didn't dare, and they also bowed and went back.

"I invite you to drink on Xiumu Day, and drink to your heart's content!" Qin Yuan whispered.

The two fulfilled their wish and nodded happily.

……

In the evening, after Qin Yuan returned home, the guards came to tell Qin Yuan that Zhou Xiaolu was doing as usual and did not do anything special.

"During the day, she and Gu Qingqing went to work in the snack shop together, and when the work was done, the two of them closed the shop and went home together."

"Continue to monitor."

As soon as Qin Yuan sent away the guards, Fang Xi took a letter and told Qin Yuanxin that he was from the Wang family in Yong'an Square.

Qin Yuan immediately thought of Aunt Wang who Zhang Luo wanted to propose to Gu Qingqing, so he opened the letter to see.The letter was written by Aunt Wang's trustee, saying that Gu Qingqing's son from Zhang's restaurant next door to the dim sum shop is a nice guy and suitable for Gu Qingqing.

Qin Yuan ordered Fang Xi to be in charge of investigating the character of the son of the Zhang family.

"Test him twice after the investigation, don't be a hypocrite."

Fang Xi agreed one by one.

The next day, the farm harvested bitter vegetables, and Qin Yuan was full after eating just two handfuls of vegetables.Although the taste is not very good, but because the appetite has become less after being promoted, I can get over it with a little patience when eating, which makes people feel very relieved.

Qin Yuan caught up with the early dynasty, because of his promotion, his official robe changed from scarlet to purple, and Qin Yuan himself was outstanding in appearance, with an appearance that did not stain the world.Dressed in a noble purple robe, with stars and phoenix eyes, she is unparalleled in beauty, making her even more outstanding.

When he was in the court class, Qin Yuan's ranking rose, and most of his surroundings were middle-aged and elderly ministers.His young and handsome standing in it is particularly conspicuous.Fortunately, Qin Yuan is not outstanding in terms of age, and there are also Changsun Wuji and Qin Qiong.If you count Li Shimin, who is just over 30 years old at the top position, then you are four young.

Today Xiaochao, discussing some important military and state affairs, basically has nothing to do with Qin Yuan, Qin Yuan just stood in his position and pretended to be a quail.

"Tuli Khan came to ask for troops, whether he should or should not, I hope all the ministers express their opinions." Fang Xuanling said to the ministers.

Fang Xuanling's questioning was obviously the result of Li Shimin's instruction.

Du Ruhui, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, came out, and his decisive words were very loud, "Please send troops to attack the Turks, Your Majesty!"

Afterwards, Du Ruhui listed one, two or three reasons, all of which made sense, making Fang Xuanling nod along.

When the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty seconded the discussion, Li Shimin's eyes suddenly turned to Qin Yuan.

"Qin Yuan, what do you think?" Li Shimin called his name.

Quail Qin Yuan had to recover.

Qin Yuan looked back at Li Shimin suspiciously, and immediately felt himself immersed in the eyes of countless ministers.

"The minister seconded Du Shangshu's words." Qin Yuan immediately followed suit.

Li Shimin smiled without surprise, and still didn't let Qin Yuan go, "You don't have any other fresh ideas?"

"The snipe and the clam compete for the fisherman's benefit. I think what Du Shangshu said is the best way." Qin Yuan had a fresh idea, but he didn't want to interfere with this kind of military affairs, so he agreed again.

At this moment, Du Ruhui looked back at Qin Yuan. He had heard some rumors about Qin Yuan before, and met Qin Yuan face to face when he was in court, but he had never had a real in-depth chat or acquaintance.Now seeing that he has peaceful eyes, seconding his own words with a neither humble nor overbearing attitude, his mind is very clear, and he has a good impression of Qin Yuan.

Li Shimin stared at Qin Yuan: "When I mentioned Tuli Khan, I suddenly remembered his case. A few days ago, I heard that he pestered you to help investigate the case, so will there be any results in this case?"

Li Shimin's state today is "bitter vegetable", that is, he is bitter and unhappy in his heart, and he will find reasons to hold on to other people's faults, and pull them to be unhappy with him.

There must be a reason why Li Shimin was able to grab him.

Qin Yuan pondered in his heart what the reason could be.

At this time, Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng gave Qin Yuan a look, and Qin Yuan immediately guessed that the matter might have something to do with these two people.

When Li Shimin was suffering in the past, it was probably related to Wei Zheng's fault picking.Wei Zheng is monolithic, and Li Shimin has always been helpless to him.Changsun Wuji was not, so Li Shimin brought the flames of war to him.

Just now Li Shimin asked questions about Tuli Khan's case because he guessed that the case was related to Changsun Wuji, so now he deliberately uses this case to talk about it, but in fact he wants to target Changsun Wuji.That means that before that, Changsun Wuji probably seconded the fault of Li Shimin that Wei Zheng picked.

Qin Yuan's eyeballs moved, and he returned to Li Shimin's question: "It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice. There are too few evidences left at the scene, and the only clues are the excrement and urine of cattle and sheep. I have already ordered people to collect the evidence that may have happened with Tuli Khan. The horse manure and horse urine of people who have had conflicts have been carefully compared, but it is really difficult to find any reliable clues to make a connection."

Rice for a while, feces and urine for a while, and it is actually better than feces and urine.

All the ministers present almost vomited out the meal they ate earlier.After being an official for many years, this is the first time everyone has heard the word 'shit and urine' mentioned in the court hall. It's so fresh!

Li Shimin was also stunned, he didn't expect Qin Yuan to say this suddenly.

"Bold, the court is solemn and solemn, how can Qin Siqing say such vulgar words!" Mei Ziyan, the official censor, immediately scolded Qin Yuan for being rude.

"Your Majesty asked about the case. I'm just explaining the case truthfully. Why not? It's just the word feces and urine. What's there to avoid? I also want to say that everyone can't live without this word. Let me just say you, Mei Yushi, if you really Without these two things at all, there will be a serious problem with the body." Qin Yuan retorted.

Li Shimin and all the ministers couldn't help laughing when they heard this.

Mei Ziyan blushed anxiously, lamenting that Qin Yuan was getting more and more rude, "These two words are indecent, if Qin Siqing thinks it is elegant, why don't you put these two things in the hall of your house and worship them."

Qin Yuan immediately defended: "When these two words are used in narrative, and they are not used to express humiliation and abuse, I don't think there is any distinction between indecent and indecent. Moreover, the word is elegant or not, but it does not hinder the The food itself has a taste. If Mei Yushi doesn't like these two things, he can try them himself, and I don't need them."

"puff--"

Li Shimin couldn't help laughing again, and patted the table twice.

The courtiers couldn't bear it either, and laughed.

All of a sudden, the laughter in the Taiji Hall erupted one after another.

The laughter spread outside, which made the guards outside the Taiji Palace very curious. What kind of happy event happened in the usually solemn and quiet Taiji Palace, so that there were so many laughter?They have been guarding for so many years, and this is the first time they have seen this scene.

In the end, the case of Tuli Khan's attack was settled in the laughter caused by "shit and urine".

Tuli Khan was humiliated because of being attacked by feces and urine. He had discussed with Li Shimin to deal with it secretly. Now because of Li Shimin's "casual" questioning, he made it public.

Li Shimin still had to keep his promise. Before retiring from the court, he symbolically asked all the officials in the palace not to spread the matter to the outside world.

Qin Yuan immediately went down to the court and left with Changsun Wuji.

Qin Yuan asked Changsun Wuji what he did to make the saint target him so much.

Changsun Wuji was surprised and said, "You actually saw it? Who told you?"

"Of course the sage told me, if it wasn't for you, why would he suddenly ask about the case of Tuli Khan." Qin Yuan said.

Only then did Changsun Wuji realize that he couldn't help laughing.

"I've wronged you."

"Then, will you give me the 'good fruit' you mentioned yesterday?" Qin Yuandang made a request while taking advantage of his 'success'.

"Forget it, I don't care about you." Changsun Wuji immediately told Qin Yuan that the reason why he seconded Wei Zheng's proposal was because Li Shimin favored Concubine Yang in the harem recently.

Qin Yuan: "No wonder." In other matters, Changsun Wuji can follow Li Shimin and work together.But Li Shimin favored other concubines, his younger sister was neglected, and Changsun Wuji of course quit.

"He did not neglect the Empress Empress," Changsun Wuji explained, "But I think something is wrong, I want to put out the flame first."

Qin Yuandian immediately asked his eldest grandson Wuji to have a small get-together during his holiday.

"There are also Dai Shaoqing and Sun Shaoqing, we can just play throwing pots together."

When Changsun Wuji heard the word 'throwing pot', he suddenly thought of the unpleasant experience of being 'smashed' by Qin Yuan, and his face changed slightly.There was also the matter that Qin Yuan provoked him to make a trip for nothing yesterday, Changsun Wuji just said that he didn't care about it, but it was not so easy in his heart.

Changsun Wuji's eyes flickered, his expression was unclear.Suddenly, he smiled brightly and happily agreed to Qin Yuan's invitation.

"I will definitely go."

Qin Yuan sensed that there seemed to be something wrong with Changsun Wuji, so he glanced at him and asked him what was wrong.

"Why do you look sick?"

"You're the only one who is sick." Changsun Wuji suddenly turned cold, glared at Qin Yuan fiercely, and walked away again in a blink of an eye.

Qin Yuan held his chin and looked at the back of Changsun Wuji leaving, and nodded with emotion.

"That's normal."

At this time Yuchi Jingde came from behind Qin Yuan and deliberately bumped into Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan shook his body for a while, looked at Yuchi Jingde blankly, and then saluted slightly.

"Qin Siqing, congratulations to Gao Sheng." Yuchi Jingde returned the salute. He had a domineering face, piercing eyes, and stared at Qin Yuan with a murderous look. People really are different, even saying indecent words like shit can make a saint laugh."

"Mr. Yuchi praised you absurdly." Qin Yuan replied.

"I recommended you at the risk of my life before." Yuchi Jingde still stared at Qin Yuan fiercely and reminded him, "Do you understand what I mean?"

Qin Yuan: "Understood."

As early as when the eunuch who passed the decree said this, Qin Yuan had expected it.The reason why Yuchi Jingde recommended him at the risk of his life was actually to repay the debt for saving his life so that he could continue to deal with him.Now seeing Yuchi Jingde's posture, Qin Yuan certainly knew that he had guessed correctly.

"Okay, now that the previous debt has been paid, we should do whatever we want in the future." Yuchi Jingde sneered dangerously at Qin Yuan before leaving.

"Life is hard!" Qin Yuan sighed, just in time to be heard by Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui who came after him.

Du Ruhui was surprised, "Qin Siqing has just been promoted to the top of the imperial court, and she is making clever arguments to please Sacred Heart, how can you be so unhappy?"

"Only when you are in a high position do you know that there are many things to worry about." Qin Yuan sighed and bid farewell to the two of them politely.

Du Ruhui looked at Qin Yuan's leaving back, smiled and said to Fang Xuanling: "Young people are awesome, look at him, he has this understanding just after being promoted, I'm not as good as waiting, not as good!"

Fang Xuanling agreed very much.

When Qin Yuan returned to Dali Temple by car, he found Gu Qingqing here, his eyes were red, as if he had cried.And the guards I sent to monitor Zhou Xiaolu before were also there.

After seeing Qin Yuan, Gu Qingqing hurriedly said to Qin Yuan: "Xiaolu...Xiaolu, she, she was taken away!"

Qin Yuan asked Gu Qingqing to sit down and spoke slowly.

"Xiaolu came to my place five days ago. She regretted leaving Chang'an City and said she would come back to make up for her mistakes. I was naturally happy for her to come back, so I kept her with me. Xiaolu said that she had lied to Brother Qin before, and she also She caused Brother Qin a lot of trouble, she said she didn't want to disturb Brother Qin, so she didn't let me tell Brother Qin that she was back. That day Brother Qin came to look for her, and she hid in the haystack behind the yard. "

"The past two days have been good. This morning, I went to the dim sum shop with her to prepare dim sum. Xiaolu went to the backyard to hold firewood. I suddenly heard shouts from the backyard. When I rushed out, I saw Xiaolu being surrounded by two men. I forced myself into the carriage. No matter how hard I chased him, I couldn't catch up! I hurried to find brother Qin." Zhou Xiaolu said with tears falling down again, imploring Qin Yuan to help rescue Xiaolu back.

At this time, the guard whispered back to Qin Yuan: "This subordinate followed the two kidnappers to Mei Mansion."

Qin Yuan frowned: "Which Mei Mansion?"

"Mei Yushi's residence." The guard explained in detail.

What a coincidence, Qin Yuangang had a debate with Mei Ziyan, the censor doctor, this morning.

"What did he catch Zhou Xiaolu for?"

Qin Yuan immediately ordered the guards to take someone to the Mei Mansion to ask for someone, "Let's see if they admit to arresting Zhou Xiaolu."

Not long after, the guards came back to report: "They said that Doctor Yu Shi wanted to ask Zhou Xiaolu something, so they asked Zhou Xiaolu to come over."

"Since you admit it, you won't die." After Qin Yuan sent Gu Qingqing home first, he told someone to tell Changsun Wuji.

But now he is the minister of Dali Temple, Qin Yuan can't count on Changsun Wuji to be the leader, so he went to the Mei Manor first.

Seeing Qin Yuan sneer, Mei Ziyan resolutely refused to hand over Zhou Xiaolu.

"This woman is the leader of the Alien League. The members of the Alien League have different abilities, and they are very likely to endanger Datang's foundation. I must review this matter before I can release her."

Only Li Shimin and Qin Yuan, the ministers involved in the investigation, knew about the Yirenmeng case, and Mei Ziyan was not among them.

"Zhou Xiaolu just returned to Chang'an City five days ago, and she secretly went to live with her sister. How did Mei Yushi know that she was the leader of the Alien League, and how did she know where she was?" Qin Yuan asked Mei Ziyan road.

However, during the time Qin Yuan took a look, Mei Ziyan blinked three times.

Mei Ziyan sneered triumphantly, "This has nothing to do with Qin Siqing, and please Qin Siqing take care of your Dali Temple affairs. I, Yushitai, are not under your jurisdiction!"

"I'm in charge of the affairs of my Dali Temple." Qin Yuan hung out the token that Li Shimin had previously bestowed to Mei Ziyan, telling him to hand it over, "Now my Dali Temple is investigating a murder case. Related, please Lao Mei Yushi to hand over Zhou Xiaolu, don't hinder our investigation."

"Nonsense, Qin Siqing is clearly acting for private interests and wants to protect Zhou Xiaolu. Qin Siqing, don't think I don't know, Qin Siqing had emotional entanglements with Zhou Xiaolu before."

"What about the evidence? Do you have any witnesses?" Qin Yuan asked, "Did someone see me holding Zhou Xiaolu's hand, or kissing her mouth, or doing something indescribable with her on the bed? What if If you don’t have any, it’s considered an emotional entanglement, then I’ve had emotional entanglements with everyone in the world, including Mei Yushi.”

Mei Zi said, "You -- you are making too much sense!"

"It's Mei Yushi who is unreasonable and refuses to make friends. If you continue to behave like this, don't blame me for taking part in Ben Mei Yushi to gain power, rob people's women by force, and refuse to obey the order." After Qin Yuan finished speaking, he shook his head. He shook the imperial token in his hand.
