[Rebirth] Chronicle of the Two Capitals

Wang Boyuan drove there in a car, handed over the famous assassin, and entered the mansion to chat with Zhang Jing, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment.Zhang Jing works in calligraphy and painting, and Wang Boyuan chatted with him about calligraphy and painting. While chatting, Wang Boyuan winked at Jialing, and Jialing hurriedly presented the painting tube, and carefully spread the scroll inside on the table .

Zhang Jing's eyes were glued to the scroll, and after looking at it carefully for a moment, he sighed: "This is the original work of a famous master in the previous dynasty, and I can't visit it all over the place. If you look at it today, you will die without regret!"

Wang Boyuan stroked his beard and laughed, and said generously: "Brother Zhang likes it, so just keep it. I'm an amateur anyway, so leaving it here with me is like a pearl covered in dust."

Zhang Jing showed some hesitation on his face, Wang Boyuan caught his hesitation, immediately ordered the family order to finish the scroll, put it into the painting tube, and forced it to the Zhang family's family order.

Seeing this, Zhang Jing nodded smoothly: "It doesn't matter, I'll hide it for you for now, and I can share it with friends in the future." Zhang Jing said this very tactfully, on your behalf, for now, if you want to accuse him in the future Accepting bribes, the evidence is not complete.

Qin Mi was escorted to Beijing yesterday, and now it is urgent. Wang Boyuan couldn't hear what he said, so he thought he was willing to let go, and hurriedly asked for help: "Qin Mi lost his mother when he was young, and his father was neglectful of discipline. As a result, his concentration was insufficient, and he was deceived by Xiao Xiao's slander, which led to this disaster. I am heartbroken, but I pity his ignorance as a young man, thinking that no one has made any mistakes, and hope that Brother Zhang can deal with it and save him from the death penalty."

Hearing this, Zhang Jing's expression did not change, making it difficult to figure out what he was thinking.He only said very slickly: "Brother Wang is friendly, I am deeply touched, and I will definitely treat my younger brother kindly."

Be nice?How to be kind?Wang Boyuan started to talk to him again, but in the end, he couldn't get the words right. Finally, Wang Boyuan glanced at the painting tube.I thought that with this proof of accepting bribes, Zhang Jing and him were grasshoppers on the same boat, and they spoke half-concealed, perhaps because they were worried about leaving people with excuses, and being kind to them was enough.

Wang Boyuan bowed to Zhang Jing: "I don't want to thank you for your great kindness, but let me bow down a little first. After this matter, we will be as close as lips and teeth."

Zhang Jing helped him up, walked away from the polite words in the officialdom, and at the end, sent the family order to see the guests off on his behalf.Watching him walk away, Zhang Jing turned around, hugged the painting tube, couldn't put it down, and said coldly in her heart: Qin Mi is nearly forty years old, young and ignorant?Furthermore, who is close to you, and the political situation in recent years is not clear enough?After the emperor takes power, he must be close to Su Xie and his like, far away from your generation. Based on this situation, how can I share weal and woe with you?

Zhang Jing shook his head again and again, he didn't know how Wang Boyuan worshiped Shangshu, most likely he had attached himself to Xiang Xiang Xiao and was promoted by him, but Xiang Xiang Xiao had already decided to retire, if he continues to be self-proclaimed, or even take credit for himself, he will not end well.

Wang Boyuan is also naive, how can Qin Mi ever return to the world?Zhang Jing is holding evidence of his greed for ink. Three years ago in Yongzhou, several counties were hit by a disaster, and several river embankments were washed away. Half of the rice relief for the people and the money for repairing the river embankment were given to this greedy Greed away!Hiring bandits to intercept and kill the supervisory censor is even more sinful.

Zhang Jing took the evidence of the crime and went to the palace to face the saint with Dali Temple Minister Xie Huaizhi.

In the Xuanshi Palace, Tang Yu was with the Empress Dowager, and besides that, there was Princess Jiangxia.

The status of the princess of this dynasty is a bit special, because she can become a king, support troops and participate in politics, so Zhang Jing and Xie Huaizhi saw Jiang Xia, glanced at each other, and did not report immediately.Six years ago, King Zheng and King Qi rebelled against Xiangling and died in defeat. The situation of the eldest princesses in Beijing was much more embarrassing than before. Even though Jiang Xia had a close relationship with the Empress Dowager, it did not mean that she was willing to live in peace.

Avoid if you can.

Didn't Jiang Xia not know this reason, she came here to invite her sister-in-law and niece to a banquet, and heard that both of them happened to be sick recently, so she was concerned and chatted for a while.

Jiang Xia looked at the two old men who looked like wooden stakes under his eyes, and suddenly felt very disappointed. He got up and wanted to leave, wanting to use his aunt's identity to pinch Tang Yu's flamboyant face.The queen mother raised her eyes, and glanced at her lightly: "Haven't you returned to the house yet? You've been out for a long time, and Nanni misses her mother." Nannan is Jiang Xia's daughter who was born not long ago.

With someone to drink and play with, how can the baby miss her?Sister-in-law is also really protecting the calf, she is not allowed to pinch her cheeks, but she pinches, touches and hugs herself in private, she is really a "poor broom" who cherishes herself!

Looking at Tang Yujiao's delicate and delicate face, Jiang Xia walked over her gradually refined facial features inch by inch, and finally, she paused on her long but not thin eyes with affectionate peach blossom eyes, and then withdrew her hand regretfully.If the little niece is not dedicated to political affairs, she often wears a serious and rigid face, and she must be as attractive as a freshly ripe lychee with half exposed skin. I don't know which little gentleman... or little lady?

Jiang Xia thought to himself, when he resigned, he glanced condescendingly at the two old men, immediately shook his head, tsk tsk, forgot that the little niece is the emperor, how can the emperor's marriage be decided by himself?

As soon as Jiang Xia left, Zhang Jing presented Qin Mi's criminal evidence, counting his bad deeds of plundering officials and extorting them.The evidence of the crime was conclusive and there was no doubt about it. Xie Huaizhi then cited the law and cited previous examples to advise the emperor on how to punish him.Officials are greedy for ink and hire murderers. It is not something that one person can do. They must be assisted by colleagues or subordinates. In this way, a bunch of people are involved.

It's not a story, if it's broken, it's broken, you can't make a long story short, when it comes to a certain point, stop and talk about it with your own opinions.

In this way, after negotiating for two hours, when the sky was approaching night and the gate of the palace was about to close, it was barely reached a conclusion.Qin Mi was punished for several crimes, beheaded without pardon, his family property was confiscated, his female relatives were confiscated in the court, and his men were exiled in the army.The remaining colleagues and subordinates who assisted in committing crimes will also be severely punished.

Before Zhang Jing left, he seemingly casually said something gossiping: "I heard that His Highness likes calligraphy and painting, and I have temporarily obtained an authentic work by a famous artist from the previous dynasty. Please have a taste with His Highness."

The calligraphy and paintings collected in the imperial palace are too numerous to enumerate, and the authentic works of the famous masters of the previous dynasty are not rare in the royal family, and Zhang Jing will not be unaware of them.When the Empress Dowager heard the words, she realized that his intention was not in this, but in the depths, so she smiled and said: "Temporary? Is it a gift from others?"

Zhang Jing hurriedly denied it: "Wang Shangshu temporarily cut off his love, and the minister will take care of it on his behalf."

At this point, the wise man understood very clearly that Wang Boyuan bribed Zhang Jing with the authentic work in order to make him protect Qin Mi, but Zhang Jing refused to accept the bribe, and instead took the authentic work as evidence of Wang Boyuan's bribery.However, he didn't say it clearly, half concealed it, even if the person in front of the imperial court leaked out, what would Wang Boyuan do to him?

Then, Zhang Jing and Xie Huaizhi resigned one after another.

There is no rest for two hours. If it was the past, she must be exhausted. Today, the Queen Mother is with her, and she is very energetic.Thinking about Wang Boyuan, Tang Yu said to the Queen Mother: "Aniang, corruption of ink is a serious crime. How can he be so confused?"

The Empress Dowager glanced at her and suddenly asked, "What time is it now?"

"Ah?" Tang Yan looked at the chiming clock in a fog, scratched his head and smirked suddenly, "It's time for dinner, I'm careless, and I almost missed the hour." It's not an urgent matter, how can it delay eating.

The illness hadn't recovered yet, and he didn't eat on time, Tang Yan looked carefully at the Queen Mother's expression, and seeing a very faint smile on her lips, he quickly hugged her waist tightly, and buried his head in her On the knee, she said coquettishly: "My son wants to eat fish meat, so I want my mother to pick the fish bones."

Her voice was humming and thin, as cute as a child's, and it was hard to say no to her.The queen mother smiled and patted her on the back: "Hands grow out of white? Pick it yourself."

"No, no, I want my mother to pick it. My mother's hand is so good. The fish meat picked by my mother is like a dragon's liver and a phoenix marrow." Tang Yu was thinking, did his head get rusty a few days ago?Being able to get along with A Niang, and being able to use her daughter's identity to have skin-to-skin kisses, what is there to be dissatisfied with?

"Don't eat dragon liver and phoenix marrow?" the queen mother asked seriously.

How dare he nod his head and say yes... Tang Yu twitched his lips, sat up straight crookedly, and said aggrievedly: "Being able to eat at the same table with A Niang is like eating dragon liver and phoenix marrow."

Your Majesty's mouth can easily speak nice words to coax people!All the people in the palace laughed lightly.

The food table is set up, and the two of them sit at the table. When there is no need, the delicacies will be served one by one, and the servants in the palace will serve hand towels, juices, wine and so on.

The meeting was quiet, and the two did not speak.The sick Chinese food is very light, and Tang Yi has a small appetite. After looking at the dishes one by one, there is no desire to open chopsticks.But the Empress Dowager was here, she didn't dare not to eat, so she took a few mouthfuls of rice, there was some fish, Qingdai was picking the thorns, the taste was always far worse when she ate it.

Tang Xi lowered his head to eat, and suddenly, a piece of fish was put into her bowl. She looked up, and happened to see the Queen Mother retracting the hand that was extended to her.She held the silver chopsticks in one hand, so as not to stain the dishes, and the other hand held a wide sleeve, revealing a wrist that was as delicate as jade and as white as snow.

Tang Yu's eyes were tightly glued to it, and then he looked down at the fish meat picked by Auntie herself. No matter how he looked at the fish meat, he was so pleasing to the eye that he was reluctant to eat it. He just stared at the queen mother, and his appetite increased greatly. .

After eating, eat away.The two of them got together in the hall, and then they brought out the matter of Wang Boyuan and explained it in detail.

As usual, it was the Empress Dowager who first asked her how to think about it.Tang Yu naturally looked down on this kind of behavior: "That morning, when I dealt with Qin Mi, my son acted vigorously and decisively without any hesitation, so he should know that I have no intention of letting the corrupt officials go." It was obvious that he committed the crime knowingly and took credit for it.

The Queen Mother didn't speak, but looked at her and motioned her to continue.Tang Yu thought for a while, and said: "Zhang Jing didn't say clearly that you can't make trouble with authentic calligraphy and painting, so I'll give you a little warning. It's still commonplace to call him here, to find out his views on Qin Mi's greed for ink Did the machine express a warning?"

"It's a solution, but it's not a good strategy." The Queen Mother said indifferently, "Wang Boyuan saves face, and he may not take it to heart if you talk to him privately. Why don't you use this to shake the mountain and shake the tiger? After two years, you should be in charge of the government. You can't always make concessions for heroes. "The foundation of a relationship between a monarch and his ministers is the monarch's benevolence and justice, and his subordinates' loyalty. For his own sake, Wang Boyuan disregarded the emperor, disregarded the law, and disregarded the community.

"Knock the mountain to shake the tiger?" Tang Yu paused, then followed the Empress Dowager to look at Zhang Jing's memorial on the imperial case, only to hear the Empress Dowager say coldly: "There are several small officials in Yongzhou, who belong to Wang Boyuan. It's a mediocre worm who got involved in this case."
