Chapter 15: Prime Minister Qi Heng's court confrontation between Shangzhi and his wife returns

After Shang Zhi came back, he asked the dark guard to clean up the prime minister's eyeliner in Jiang'an City, and blocked all news in Jiang'an City. At the same time, the food from Shanzhou was finally transported to Jiang'an City.

Shang Zhi asked Jin Se to take out the 300 million taels of silver bills that he carried with him, and handed them to Du Changan, "Master Zhifu, this is 300 million taels of disaster relief silver, please trouble your lord to send someone to the neighboring city to exchange it for silver taels."

Du Changan nodded, "Madam Qi is serious."

Shang Zhi didn't say much, anyway, the purpose of her coming here was not for disaster relief.

Half a month later, the prime minister collected all of Qi Heng's crimes and presented them to the emperor, who only said that the matter would be discussed at the time of the court.

The prime minister was worried that the emperor would change his mind, so when he went to court, he brought out Qi Heng's piles of crimes. Seeing these dozens of crimes of corruption and bribery, forced expropriation and forced purchase, Qi Guogong laughed angrily, "Your Excellency is a good trick!" , my son has only been an official for a few months, and has so many crimes, it is difficult for the prime minister."

The prime minister had been smart and cautious all his life, but when he was old, he became confused. He was a grasshopper on the same rope with the fourth prince, but he thought Zhao Qianzheng was a little boy who didn't know the world, and he was proud of fooling him.

The prime minister has been in the court for many years, and there are people from the same camp. To be honest, many veterans in the court think that it is okay for Zhao Qian to conquer the domain and become the king, but it is indeed wrong to be the emperor.

Thinking about it carefully, it was just that these old officials relied on the old to sell the old, and felt that the new emperor was just a child who didn't understand anything and was easy to fool.But they all forgot that Zhao Qianzheng is the grandson of Prince Chu. His Majesty was seriously ill many years ago. Prince Chu was the regent and governed the dynasty. In terms of the way of being a king, he is much better than King Yong who is ambitious and ignorant of planning.

Zhao Qianzheng didn't know what the ministers were thinking, so he simply let go, and he wanted to see what cards these old fools had in their hands.

Zhao Qianzheng looked at the so-called crimes in his hand, "Prime Minister, these crimes are all capital crimes. Since the prime minister said that there are all witnesses and evidences, why not confront Mr. Qi who went to Jiang'an for disaster relief."

The Prime Minister knew that Qi Heng was flooded, and readily agreed, "Your Majesty, I am willing to confront Master Qi face to face."

Zhao Qianzheng waited for his words, and looked at Eunuch Yu. Eunuch Yu nodded slightly after receiving the emperor's signal, "Xuan, go to Jiang'an as an imperial envoy——Qi Heng is in the palace."

As soon as these words came out, the Prime Minister was shocked into a cold sweat, and subconsciously looked at the entrance of the main hall. Qi Heng, dressed in a bright red court uniform, strode across the gate of the palace, approaching the Prime Minister step by step.

Qi Heng walked into the main hall, lifted his court clothes, and knelt down, "I kowtow to the emperor."

Zhao Qianzheng asked Qi Heng to flatten himself again and again, "Aiqing, get flattened quickly, will the disaster relief work go well?"

Qi Heng got up and bowed, "It's a good thing that I did not disgrace my life. The matter of Jiang'an sea waterlogging has been settled, and Jiang'an city is being rebuilt."

"Good! Good! Good!" Zhao Qianzheng said three "good" words in a row, which shows that the emperor's joy is beyond words, but the next play will continue, "Ai Qing, you are urgently called into the palace today for the purpose of disaster relief. thing."

Qi Heng already knew the prime minister's plan from Shang Zhi, and the emperor's words were obviously for him to cooperate, so the plan was settled, "Part of the disaster relief money has been distributed to the victims, and the rest is used to rebuild Jiang'an City."

After all, the prime minister has gone through two dynasties. At this time, he has already realized that it was Qi Heng who set him a trap. Right now, he can only grasp Qi Heng's crimes, otherwise he will not be able to stand up. All of our officials don’t know the number, so it’s okay to let you talk nonsense.”

He didn't believe that such a large sum of money, Qi Heng really didn't touch it at all. The people who went to the disaster relief in the past had more or less oily hands. Qi Heng was a fledgling, so such small mistakes would definitely be made.

But the prime minister was really wrong. Qi Heng is not that shallow-sighted. He has followed Qi Guogong since he was a child, and what he hears the most is "self-cultivation and loyalty to the emperor".

Self-cultivation: the virtue of self-cultivation;

Loyalty to the Emperor: The Lord of Loyalty and Virtue.

For the 300 million taels of disaster relief money, if Qi Heng was greedy for a third of it, the rest would be more than enough for rebuilding Jiang'an, but he would not do that, making money in a country's calamity was the last thing he bothered to do.

The prime minister had known for a long time that the relief money was 300 million taels of silver, so he specially ordered someone to make a fake account on the account book of the household department, and the figure was 400 million taels. , the final result is a decisive decision, everything is calculated seamlessly.

However, after countless calculations, he failed to figure out that the person who made false accounts for him was the emperor's secret guard. The evidence of his private accounting had already been presented to the imperial court, and he was waiting for the evidence of his assassination of the court official to be punished together.

Qi Heng didn't care about the prime minister's testimony, he didn't do anything himself, he was not afraid of the shadow slanting, he didn't care about the prime minister's accusations at all.

Qi Heng didn't even look at the prime minister, and directly handed the booklet to the emperor. The emperor took the booklet and looked at it for a while, his face gradually turned blue, and his veins burst out of anger.

After reading the excerpts, the emperor raised his hand, and with a little force, he patted the excerpts directly on the prime minister's face, "Hehe, a veteran who has gone through three dynasties, Shen Ci! You really look good on me."

At present, the evidence in Zhao Qianzheng's hands shows that the prime minister was just greedy for some money, and that he had no choice but to kill Qi Heng this time, but Qi Heng's note was submitted by General Yang of Jiang'an's 20-man army and Du Chang'an, the prefect of Jiang'an. , The description is what the prime minister did when he went to Jiang'an for disaster relief [-] years ago. The emperor looked at it bit by bit, and his lungs were about to explode.

It is written in the booklet that Jiang’an was flooded 20 years ago. That sea flood was many times stronger than today’s. The whole Jiang’an, including the highest-built magistrate’s yamen, did not avoid it, and was directly washed away by the flood. , After the flood, the whole city was almost empty, and very few survived.

When the imperial court learned of this, they immediately dispatched Shen Ci, who was then Minister of the Ministry of War, to provide disaster relief, bringing with him 800 million taels of silver, which can be said to be nine out of ten of the state treasury at that time.

After arriving in Jiang'an, Shen Ci was not in a hurry to distribute the relief money. He waited for the survivors to go to the yamen to make trouble with him, and then he locked them up on the grounds of suppressing the mob.

Then, out of the 800 million taels of silver, only 400 million taels were used to rebuild Jiang'an City and appease the victims. He swallowed 400 million taels alive by himself. Du Changan had just been transferred to Jiang'an City at that time, and Shen Ci intended to win him over. Du Chang'an naturally wouldn't accept it. Shen Ci didn't have enough rights at the time, and he wasn't brave enough to kill the court order officials. He thought that Du Chang'an didn't know the detailed relief amount, so he didn't pay much attention to him. Unexpectedly, 20 years later, he would die In the hands of this humble man.

Of course, this inconspicuousness is just his own cognition, how could the hidden guards of Taizu be inconspicuous, but he himself didn't know it.

The prime minister looked at Zhezi, sweating profusely. He was really too complacent these days. He forgot that the emperor is the grandson of Prince Chu. Although the son of Prince Chu is not very reliable, this grandson grew up in the palace. It is not to be underestimated.

It's over, the family business that has been toiled for a lifetime is over, the prime minister collapsed directly, and closed his eyes in despair.

The prime minister went to prison directly above the court, and Qi Heng told Shang Zhi about it when he returned home. Although she still did not reveal her identity, she did not do anything else secretly. Thinking of the road back to Beijing these days, Qi Heng I still have lingering fears.

Half a month ago, when the food in Shanzhou arrived, Qi Heng and Du Chang'an worked together to appease the victims and distribute relief money.Du Chang'an is the "living blue sky" in Jiang'an City. With him, none of the victims rioted. In addition, an army stationed in the neighboring city came, and the reconstruction began.

Seeing that the matter had settled down, Qi Heng decided to return to Beijing the next day to return to his orders. For the sake of speed, he asked his attendants to stay in Jiang'an, and the four of them returned to Beijing first.Shang Zhi agreed with Qi Heng's idea, and did not intend to take the hundred-man army and let them go to the capital by themselves, but that night she dreamed of the old couple on the isolated island again, but this time they appeared in the capital. On the official road, he rescued Shang Zhi who was seriously injured, and Qi Heng was too seriously injured to die.

In the dark night, Shang Zhi woke up with a start, pressing his throbbing heart, frowning.She got out of bed lightly, in order not to wake up Qi Heng, she didn't even put on her shoes and went to open the door to look for Jin Se, who was guarding the door, noticed something was wrong, got up and was about to make a move, but it turned out that Shang Zhi was covering her Heartbroken, his face was a little ugly, "Miss, did you have a heart attack?"

Shang Zhi shook his head, "I'm a little uneasy, you go and inform Du Chang'an, and ask General Yang to lead someone to follow us secretly."

Viola nodded and went to do it.General Yang Can is the leader of the hundred-man army, and Shang Zhi asked General Yang to lead people to follow them, which meant that they would go back to Beijing together.

Shang Zhi couldn't sleep now either, so he was stunned for a while, then simply put on his clothes and went out for a walk, just in time to meet Du Changan who had finished his work, and now Du Changan didn't dare to neglect Shang Zhi at all, and was always respectful when meeting in private, "Master. "

Shang Zhi was not familiar with Jiang An at all. She was not sure whether the former emperor had left a trick for Zhao Qianzheng. If so, failing to take care of Du Chang'an would be a big threat to her.

Now the night breeze is cool, and my heart is not so uncomfortable, "Master Zhifu doesn't have to be like this, it's just a coincidence that I learned about what happened in Jiang'an in the Taizu and associated it."

Du Chang'an knew that Shang Zhi was trying to comfort him, and those four sentences were about the reason why the Taizu formed an army in the first place and their ambitions after ascension to the throne.

In order to test the ability of the younger generation, the Tai Group deliberately reversed the events in the conversation, and no one knows the reason for being enthroned back then. The old Duke Ding who followed the emperor for the longest time has long since passed away. Dark guard, no one else knows.

And Shang Zhi's words were like a stone thrown into a dead lake, causing ripples. Du Changan was really surprised when he heard it. He suddenly thought that maybe it was this hundred-man army that confirmed Cheng Shangzhi's conjecture and came to Jiang'an to seek confirmation.

Du Changan didn't intend to find out, since Cheng Shangzhi solved the riddle, then she was their master, and all the hidden guards in Jiang'an City were at her mercy.Shang Zhi didn't have such big ambitions, he just wanted to avoid future troubles, "Master Du, please stay in Jiang'an with peace of mind. I'm a girl, and I don't have such a big heart. I just want my life to be smooth and safe forever. More deeply revealed Seriously, Master Du, don't get cold."

After Shang Zhi finished speaking, he turned around and went back to his room. Du Chang'an was relieved. If Shang Zhi really had ambitions and he had to follow, it would be a big trouble.

On the second day, according to the plan, the four of them rode back to Beijing as they did when they came, and Yang Shen led a few people to follow behind quietly, and the others followed imperceptibly.

There was nothing wrong on the first day, they passed through a town safely, and had a rest overnight, but Shang Zhi was even more worried, it was inconvenient for them to attack in the city, but it was convenient on the road.

During the daytime of the second day, they were far away from the town, and the sun was shining brightly at noon. Shang Zhi really wanted to appreciate the best location for the ambush.

Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching from far, Wu Ji immediately looked solemn, and the four of them looked at each other, ready to face the battle.

The men in black suddenly appeared and surrounded them. Seeing at least hundreds of people, Wu Ji gulped down his saliva tremblingly. Jin Se also knew that this was a bit embarrassing for Wu Ji, so she asked Wu Ji, "Qinggong Great, isn't it?" Wu Ji nodded, and Jin Se arranged things, "I said run away later, so you take my uncle and leave the encirclement."

Jin Se got ready, seeing the man in black was about to step forward, and gave an order, Jin Se took Shang Zhi and Wu Ji with Qi Heng to perform lightness kung fu and flew out of the encirclement. General Yang Shen saw Shang Zhi out of danger, and immediately led People stepped forward and surrounded the man in black.

When Shang Zhi saw these people, he knew that they were the remnants of King Yong. As far as the four of them were concerned, no matter how powerful their martial arts were, they couldn't stand up to so many people. Most of the trained troops died in a few strokes, and the four of them watched the excitement outside.

General Yang kept one or two alive, and only after interrogation did he learn that the prime minister had conspired with King Yong. After the defeat of King Yong, because his deal with King Yong was private and no one knew about it, he switched to the Fourth Prince. However, who would have thought that the fourth prince would not be able to stand up, and was picked up by Zhao Qianzheng, so the prime minister had no choice but to give up.

Later, when he learned that King Yong still had remnants of his party, he tried every means to find them, hoping that they could help him kill Qi Heng. They kept hiding and didn't know the news that Jiang An sent him to Beijing, so they intercepted him on the way Live with Qi Heng and them.

As long as Qi Heng thought that if General Yang's army hadn't come behind, the four of them might have become the ghosts of these remnants of evil.

During the break in the evening, Qi Heng talked about this matter, "Today's facts are dangerous. If we don't come back, maybe we will just talk nonsense and indiscriminately charge charges." After a moment of silence, "How did you know that the other day? Someone intercepted us and arranged for someone to follow behind?"

Shang Zhi shook his head, "I don't know, I just had a dream that night. I dreamed that we were stopped by someone on the official road back to Beijing. I was seriously injured and rescued. You didn't escape."

Qi Heng knew there were some things she didn't want to say, and didn't plan to force her, so he didn't say any more, "Okay, go to sleep, I'll go out with you for a stroll tomorrow."

The couple are also tired these few days, the matter of Shen Ci came to an end, and the emperor specially asked Qi Heng to take half a month's leave to spend time with his family.
