Chapter 82
"I met Mrs. Qin." Yao Yi saluted.

Xiao Qin looked back at Yao Yi, smiled kindly and said:

"You are Lord Yao, I often hear Erlang mention you."

Yao Yi smiled, good guy, this head has a lot of luck.

"Miss Qin, I'm not a person who likes to play riddles. I have something to say. I wonder if Madam would like to hear it?" Yao Yi said with his hands behind his back.

Xiao Qin's face froze, and she didn't know what to reply for a moment.

"I know that the eldest lady wants to seek a title for her son, but do you really think you can succeed?"

"I don't understand Master Yao's words." Xiao Qin turned her head and was about to leave.

"I really don't want to hear it? You know, with your son's ability, he can't support the Marquis Mansion."

Xiao Qin paused, turned her back to Yao Yi and said:

"Although Ting Wei is not very capable, he is not a waste. The Hou Mansion can still be maintained."

"But what if someone keeps targeting him? Like me, or Gu Tingye."

Xiao Qin turned around with an extremely ugly expression.

"I heard Zhong Huai say that Ting Wei is a good boy and he doesn't want to hurt him. But if someone keeps destroying the relationship between their brothers, Zhong Huai may not take this brother seriously in the future."

"Master Yao, please explain clearly."

"Erlang doesn't care about the title, if you can help him fulfill his wish, so what if he gives up the title?" Yao Yi said quietly.

Xiao Qin took a deep look at Yao Yi, turned her head and walked away.

Yao Yi sighed secretly. Originally, he wondered if he could solve this problem directly, but it seemed that it was not very useful.

It was another day at the court meeting, with hundreds of officials gathered, Han Zhang stood up directly and said loudly:

"Qizou Your Majesty, now that the world has been settled, the government is gradually stabilized. Although the anti-king party has been pacified at the beginning, there are still remnants of crimes that cannot be tolerated. They should be thoroughly investigated and eliminated to rectify the government."

This was a plan to settle accounts after the autumn. At that time, the court was not stable, so the remnants of King Yan's henchmen were not liquidated. Now that he is free, he will not let it go easily.

"Han Xianggong is right. If that's the case, you should recommend someone." Zhao Zongquan sat upright and said.

"The minister recommends the secretary to be the young supervisor, and Yao Yi, the court official, will supervise the matter." Han Zhang said.

"Yao Shaojian has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, so he can't move easily, why not recommend someone from the Ai family?" Empress Dowager Cao suddenly said behind the curtain.

Zhao Zongquan and Han Zhang looked at each other, but neither refused.

"May I ask who the Queen Mother wants?" Han Zhang asked.

"Admonition Court Servant Censor, Qi Heng, there is a strategy to check against the party in the play, your majesty doesn't want to listen to his words?" Empress Dowager Cao hid behind and couldn't see clearly, but Zhao Zongquan's face was indeed quite ugly.

This is the advantage of a good family background. It took Yao Yi several years of hard work to be promoted to serve as a censor. Qi Heng himself had a shadow official, and his family lost his relationship. He was promoted to an official within a few days after entering the imperial court.

"Then announce it." Zhao Zongquan said calmly.

"I serve Qi Heng, the censor, and greet Your Majesty." Qi Heng, wearing a green official robe, bowed respectfully.

"The son of Princess Pingning is indeed extraordinary." Zhao Zongquan said meaningfully.Princess Pingning was raised by the queen mother since childhood, and it was only logical that Qi Heng would become the queen mother.

"Your Majesty, I ask your Majesty to conduct a thorough investigation of the accounts in Ni Wang's residence, and arrest and question anyone who has any dealings with him." Qi Heng said loudly.

"This matter is inappropriate, and this policy seems to be overkill." Han Zhang came out and objected.

Qi Heng is not false at all, he still said:

"The purpose of thoroughly investigating the remnants of the rebellious party is to clear up the government, so why go too far? If you don't deter everyone like this, I'm afraid someone will follow suit in the future."

"Why do I listen to Master Xiao Qi's idea that he wants to spread the method of sitting together?" Someone among the officials asked.

"Okay, I think Master Xiao Qi's method is good, he is fair, and the family can be relieved, what do you think, Your Majesty?" Empress Dowager Cao said.

What can Zhao Zongquan say?He could only express his agreement with a dark face.

"Since Your Majesty also agrees, let's settle this matter like this and retreat from the court." It's no wonder that Zhao Zongquan couldn't bear the empress dowager Cao's behavior like this.

"Retire." The officer shouted loudly.

Zhao Zongquan stood up, took a meaningful look at Yao Yi, and left directly.

On the way back, Gu Tingye directly caught up with Yao Yi, pulled Yao Yi aside and asked:
"Why didn't you speak up just now?"

"Why should I stand up?" Yao Yi asked back.

"Yuan Ruo's current state is not right. If he is really let go, everyone in the court will be in danger." Gu Tingye said.

Indeed, back then Ni Wang was so powerful, if any of the officials in the capital did not have any kindness with him, if they were all arrested and interrogated, then the court would not be able to settle down.

"Don't worry, His Majesty has plans in mind." Yao Yi said.

Just kidding, the court is in turmoil but where can the chaos go if the military power is in hand?This Qi Heng was chosen by the Empress Dowager Cao, and all the officials were so excited that they couldn't remember Zhao Zongquan's head. He could still take the opportunity to buy favors, why should he stop it.

Gu Tingye always knew that Yao Yi was an old silver coin, so he did the job with a smile. Gu Tingye also guessed that he was doing it on purpose.

"Do you and Your Majesty have any plans?" Gu Tingye leaned over and asked.

Yao Yi didn't speak, and raised his eyebrows slightly at Gu Tingye, Gu Tingye immediately looked clear.

After a period of time, Qi Heng was engaged in a large-scale lawsuit in Bianjing. Zhang Yu complained to Yao Yi more than once that all the cells in Kaifeng Mansion were occupied. Even during the Great Court Meeting, there were fewer officials.

Still Wende Palace, Zhao Zongquan waved back the officials and maids.

"Yuanqian, how did you know that Qi Heng would be so ruthless? Even relatives and friends came to plead for mercy and didn't show sympathy."

Of course Yao Yi would not tell about Gu Tingye, but said:
"Yuan Ruo has known me for many years, I know his temperament, he is the one who reads the book in his heart."

This means that Qi Heng is only a book reader, and he is not familiar with the affairs of the officialdom, so he can't be tactful in dealing with things.

"Then what should we do next? We can't let him go on like this forever."

"Your Majesty, let him let it go. It's time to clean up the officials and make room for new scholars." Yao Yi said.

This time, the Jinshi of the new department was recruited by Zhao Zongquan. Except for people like Qi Heng who were destined to be born in the same camp, the others were all promoted by Zhao Zongquan, and they were regarded as his staff.

As soon as Yao Yi finished giving advice to Zhao Zongquan, Gu Tingye came looking for him as soon as he left the palace.

Just because Qi Heng found out about the Gu family, many members of the younger generation of the Gu family fell into it, including Gu Tingye's younger brother Gu Tingwei.Gu Yankai was not in good health, but when he knew that his youngest son was involved in this incident, he went offline to get a box lunch in a fit of anger.

When Gu Tingye found Yao Yi, his eyes were still red, obviously he had just cried.To be honest, although Gu Yankai did a lot of wrong things, he actually cared about Gu Tingye, and it was inevitable that Gu Tingye would be sad.
