Famous all over the world

Fortunately, the imperial physician was taking care of the husband and wife of the country in the side hall, and rushed over after hearing the pass. After some consultations, he said that the queen mother was fine, and she just needed to rest.Only then did everyone heave a sigh of relief, but the matter had come to this point, and it was obvious that the birthday banquet would be unsustainable.

The people in the hall gradually dispersed, Jiang She only followed Jiang Dushi, until the queen mother finally opened her eyes, heard a few more words from their sisters, and was about to leave, but saw Du Feng standing there silently. A few steps away, he was still holding the memorial in his hand, staring at Du Guozhang who was talking to the queen mother with burning eyes.Jiang Dushi didn't even look at him, he walked straight past, Jiang She glanced at him, didn't know what to say, finally didn't make a sound, just followed Jiang Dushi's pace silently, but couldn't help sighing in his heart.

Judging from Du Feng's meaning, it is necessary for Du Guozhang to reap the consequences. Naturally, she also hopes to be punished in a small way and put an end to the corruption of ink, but Emperor Zhaoning avoided answering many times, and Du Guozhang was so panicked. Surprised, things might not be as easy as she thought.So when she went back, she asked Jiang Yong to find a few volumes of criminal laws, and after looking through them, she realized that suing a son against his father would serve three years in prison, and that if he had embezzled more than ten thousand taels of silver, he would be punished by beheading.

in this way……

It's really righteous killing relatives.

She closed the book and unconsciously sighed.Ten thousand taels of silver, how much is the military salary? It is true that she also hates him, but if she really wants to put him to death, she will not do it after all.She just watched with cold eyes, Du Feng was so determined, I'm afraid no one would be able to persuade him to live, and he didn't know how it would end.

With this matter in her heart, she often asked Jiang Yong to find out the news, but for a few days, everything in Beijing was calm.As always, Jiang Dushi did what she had to do, but she was a little anxious, but she couldn't tell Jiang Yuan clearly, and no one could tell her, so she became even more depressed. Fortunately, on the fifth day, the result finally came out.

Jiang Yong sent the news early in the morning, saying that Du Guozhang made a statement in the court, confessed his crimes, resigned from the title of Hanlin Bachelor and Prince Shaobao, and was willing to confiscate his family property to fill the national treasury. Let it go.Emperor Zhaoning thought that he was the first to turn himself in, that he had made meritorious service in the prosecution, and that he was already old, so he would not be put in prison for the time being until the circumstances of the case were clarified.At the same time, it is decreed to thoroughly investigate and severely punish those involved in the case.

Taking the blame and doing meritorious service... After Jiang She thought about it for a while, he suddenly realized.It doesn't matter whether Du Guozhang is willing or not, but if Du Feng's determination is made, he only has this chance of survival.

But ending it this way can be regarded as the best of both worlds.What he did surprised everyone in the government and the public. There were always discussions in the streets and alleys. After many days, the party and the party quarreled with each other, and a series of corrupt officials came out.

Jiang Sheqie just watched with cold eyes, secretly sighing with joy in his heart.A few days later, Emperor Zhaoning made a policy of recommending the prime minister, and inspecting the officials' clean style. I heard that many restaurants were empty because of this, but it didn't matter to her, and Jiang Du took Yegu to Qingliang Temple again. What's more, I have nothing to do, and I still practice archery, read books and listen to some news all day long.But Xu Su and He Ding came to the door after a long absence because Xu Su was burdened by it. They also came with Zhuang Shuo, whom they hadn't seen for a long time.

It's not good for her to congratulate the two of them for their high school, but just chatting about gossip, and when they saw the meal time, they stayed with them. During the dinner, they talked about Du Guozhang.

Xu Su sighed: "This strange event in Beijing is really the same for a while. The father-in-law is willing to spend his money. When people are in a hurry, he really can do anything..."

He Ding coughed, "Master Xu is now an official, and his words are even more majestic."

Xu Su groaned, and suddenly came to his senses, and looked at her apologetically, "I'm sorry, Major General, my mouth is really... why don't I punish myself with a drink."

He Ding pressed his hand and said with a smile: "Forget it, I'm afraid you'll get drunk and make trouble here for the Major General. Why don't we also make a rule, say a wrong sentence, and recite a grandson. "

Xu Su's eyes widened, "That's impossible!"

He Ding smiled and said, "I think it's a very good idea, what do you think of the Major General and Asuo?"

Jiang She couldn't help smiling, "It's an excellent idea."

Zhuang Shuo raised his head from the book and hummed lightly.These days, he saw that his health has decreased a lot. Today, I heard that Xu Suqiang dragged him out. He only ate a few mouthfuls, then put down his chopsticks and sat by the window to read a book. He has been silent for a long time.

Jiang She didn't care, but logically said that he shouldn't be like this. He has always been as gentle as jade, and he has a measure of advance and retreat. Even if he treats He Ding and Xu Su, he is very polite and considerate. Today's behavior is actually a bit rude. , It's really not like his style.Maybe he was going to leave Beijing, and he was imitating nature in advance.

He Ding was obviously not surprised, he just looked at Xu Su and smiled and said, "How about the minority obeying the majority? Deputy Wei Xu is always afraid, right?"

Xu Su snorted, "Why not... no, I won't. I won't accept your provocation."

Jiang She laughed suddenly, He Ding also smiled and shook his head, sighing: "I'm smarter than anyone else at this time."

Xu Su proudly said: "Of course." As he spoke, he suddenly felt something was wrong, "Wait, what is this kind of time? I have always been very smart."

He Ding was laughing so hard that Xu Su looked at him and immediately became angry, "What are you laughing at? What's so funny?"

He Ding still couldn't stop laughing, and he was still perfunctory, "Yes, your first deputy Wei is the most shrewd, and it wasn't you who paid the swindler the money last time."

Xu Su stood up suddenly, rushed over to cover his mouth, He Ding dodged and begged for mercy, but Xu Su still refused to give up, until he poured him a glass of wine, then went back to sit down, and talked to her like nothing happened. Said: "Major General, I really didn't intend to offend just now, but this incident is really incredible. The Major General just came to the capital. He may not know that the country's father-in-law has always valued property a little bit, um...he wants to be his own." It's really impossible to give it up."

Jiang She could see that he had really tried his best to speak tactfully, and he only felt that he was funny and cute.However, she has experienced Du Guozhang's property-loving temperament. Don't say that his mansion is magnificent, even if he told her about the origin of the cups and plates during the banquet, he was like a treasure, and his attitude of cherishing and showing off can be seen One spot.She didn't know how much it was worth at first, but after listening to people talking about it these days, she realized what kind of antiques they are.

"After thinking about it, I always feel that it has something to do with Du Sizhi...I don't want to ask, Major General, you don't have to tell me if I guessed right, I just talk casually..." Xu Su said carefully Glancing at her intently, Jiang She didn't make a sound, but secretly thought it was funny.

He Ding only took a breath now, "Sima Zhao's heart."

Xu Su glared at him, "It's as if you weren't the one who first guessed with me."

He Ding coughed and turned his face away, "That is to say, the major general won't argue with you...well, don't embarrass the major general."

Jiang She smiled and said, "Actually, it's okay." Although there are orders in the palace, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and after a long time, it will always leak out.

Xu Su glanced at He Ding triumphantly, "That's right, the major general doesn't care, but you think too much." But he finally waved his hand, "But it doesn't matter if you know what happened, or the result is the most important thing. It is always a great good thing to bring out many corrupt officials."

Jiang She knew that he was still thinking about her after all, so he couldn't help feeling warm in his heart, and echoed a few words, but Zhuang Shuo on the other side suddenly said: "Actually, it may not be all good things."

Jiang She was slightly surprised, and couldn't help turning his head to look at him.

Xu Su was even more unhappy and said: "What's wrong? Severely punish corrupt officials, put an end to corruption, and clean up the source. What's wrong?"

Zhuang Shuo said softly: "It's not bad, it's just too much."

Xu Su's face suddenly darkened, "Why is it too late?"

Seeing that the situation was not right, He Ding hurriedly smiled and smoothed things over.

But Xu Su interrupted him, just stared at Zhuang Shuo and said, "You tell him to say, I'd like to hear how he will make a fuss about something that has all benefits but no harm."

He Ding sighed, "Zi."

Xu Su glared at him, He Ding hurriedly raised his hand above his head and waved it, but kept silent.Then he looked at Zhuang Shuo again, as if he wanted to listen to his nonsense.

Jiang She was also curious, so he also looked at Zhuang Shuo, only to see him closing the scroll, and still said in a gentle voice: "Punishing corruption is a good thing, but when the water is full, there will be losses, and when the moon is full, there will be gains. If you overcorrect, you will go too far. The method is too harsh. If things go on like this, everyone in the court will be in danger. Even on ordinary festivals, they dare not meet with relatives and friends and exchange gifts. Isn’t this a bit too much? People are born in this world. As a disciple, hundreds of officials monitor each other, and it is inevitable that they cover each other and hate each other. What's more, greed is the nature of human beings, and it is difficult for those without desires to manage politics. It is understandable to be able to do a good job of practical things if people are displaced by profit, and more than [-]% are greedy for ink.”

Jiang She sounded reasonable, but still vaguely felt that something was wrong, Xu Su suddenly stood up, and sneered again and again: "Forgive me for not agreeing, according to Mr. Zhuang, can you just do something a little bit better?" Behavior? Human nature is greedy, I agree, but because of this, there are laws to restrain each other, and if someone conceals a false report, or commits a crime, they will all be punished. Then it’s time to exterminate relatives righteously.”

Before Zhuang Shuo could answer, He Ding sighed suddenly, "It's easy to say, but it's not easy to say. For example, you and I are inseparable. If something happens to you, I will naturally take care of you more than others. It is difficult to completely separate it from justice, and there is nothing in the world that can truly be impartial."

Xu Su retorted: "Why not? Isn't Du Sizhi the same?"

He Ding shook his head, "If Du Sizhi had no selfishness at all, he would have handed it over a long time ago. In that case, how could Du Shaobao have a chance to plead guilty? But it is already very difficult for him to do this. It's admirable."

Jiang She sighed in his heart, the father-in-law really had no chance to plead guilty, so it seems that the two father and son each took a step back after all.It's just that love and law are difficult to have both, it seems that everyone has reason, and it depends on how one decides.

Xu Su was obviously very displeased with the attitude of the two of them, and immediately retorted, "How do you know that Du Sizhi is lenient, and not the father-in-law who cut off his wrists?"

He Ding shook his head and sighed: "If that's the case, how does Du Shaobao know how much evidence he has in his hands, so that he can surrender himself without hesitation?"

Xu Su was dumb for a while, and then raised his voice again: "Then who knows, people like him are the most discerning, so where can they come from..."

He Ding glanced at him, Xu Su suddenly came to his senses, looked at her eagerly and said, "Young General, I said something wrong again, I didn't mean that, it's just...just..." His eyes were on He Ding and Zhuang Shuo Turning around between the two, they suddenly realized something, and immediately filled with righteous indignation, "When did you two start singing together?"

He Ding brushed his hand away and said with a smile: "Okay, I know you want to understand, people are not grass and trees, how can they be ruthless? If we only want the hard laws, wouldn't this world be less interesting?"

"Go, go, go, I didn't say that you are right. According to you, it is human nature to be greedy for ink, so you should let it go. If your relatives and friends make mistakes, you should bend the law for personal gain. What's the reason?" Xu Suda didn't think so. "If everyone says that, there is no need to formulate laws, and there is no need to set up the Yushitai, just let them be greedy and greedy."

"No one said that we shouldn't take care of it, but that we should proceed step by step and make the best use of the situation." He Ding saw that Zhuang Shuo seemed speechless, so he sighed, "It is necessary to take care of it, but we can't talk about it in this way. When you learn the art of war, don’t you also pay attention to adapting to the situation and moving according to the time? It’s all the same reason.”

"Nonsense, the art of war is not as complicated as this." Xu Su said, but he didn't continue to refute. He sat down and took a sip from his teacup, and then said again, "If I follow you, how should I deal with it?"

He Ding opened his mouth to speak, but when he heard Zhuang Shuo open his mouth, he stopped talking again, and listened to him say: "It's hard to get rid of warts and ulcers. Even if you make drastic changes to reform the old, you can't get back to the sky. Let alone scratching your boots and thinking about it for a while?"

His words can be described as extremely harsh, and he criticized the government to the point of utterly crippling.Jiang She's heart was shocked, but at the same time he was very surprised, how could Zhuang Shuo say such words without any scruples?

Xu Su yelled heavily, stood up abruptly, pointed at him and said, "I think you are the one who deceives the crowd! I have made great achievements, outstanding people, a peaceful and prosperous world, and pilgrims from all directions. The Holy One also has the heart to work hard. Given time, I will be able to sweep away the evil. Ethos, what does it mean to be powerless?"

Zhuang Shuo said indifferently: "It's just a temporary act, and it will eventually revert to the old ways."

Xu Su said in a cold voice: "The Holy One is not a mediocre emperor, and now Du Sizhi is in power, so he will naturally make the turbid and clear in the future. Although I am not talented, I am willing to do my part. Ah Ding may not be as talented as you , but if we all work together, in time, we will not believe that the mountains cannot be leveled!"

Jiang She was quite excited, and when the world was peaceful and the treasury was full, she could also raise her head and sweep away the demon atmosphere in Mobei, but she turned her head to see He Ding who was silent, so she couldn't help but calm down a little, wondering if there was something wrong in Xu Su's words Come on.

Before she thought about it, Zhuang Shuo shook her head, "Everything in the world is on the emperor's mind. Shaobao's ostentation is too much, and the disaster has come to an end. It's just now that it happened."

"Extremely ridiculous." Xu Su sneered again and again, "You mean the emperor knew it well, but he just didn't do anything?"

Jiang She couldn't help being surprised, and couldn't help looking at Zhuang Shuo.

Zhuang Shuo still said calmly: "If the whole country knows about Shaobao's corruption of ink, and if he is a monarch, how can he not know it?"

Xu Su's voice was a little weaker, "It's not certain that there was no evidence before...or someone was lying to deceive the saint...yes, it must be so."

Jiang She knew that he was referring to Deng Gun, and she had heard many sayings about Emperor Zhaoning's love for him, and some even said that this incident in Mobei was due to his divination and harmony, but she always only felt that the words were exaggerated.After Emperor Zhao Ning talked to her that day, she felt that the rumors were too false to believe.But when Xu Su mentioned him, he didn't mention him by name. Could it be that he didn't dare?Thinking of Deng Gun's face that day, she still frowned slightly.Could it be... Does Emperor Zhaoning really believe in him?

As if confirming her thoughts, Zhuang Shuo said flatly again: "Even if this is the case, what should you do?"

Xu Su fell silent suddenly, Jiang She also sank in his heart, He Ding cleared his throat: "Actually..." After saying two words, Xu Su who left the table suddenly was startled, and couldn't help but stop.

"If it's really like what you said..." Jiang She saw him striding towards Zhuang Shuo, lowered his head and stared at him, "If it's true, if you can see it, why would you want to Walk?"

Zhuang Shuo didn't make a sound, just raised his head slightly to look at him, his expression was still as calm as water.

Xu Su seemed to be irritated by his expression, and his voice raised a little bit, "You have already seen this, why don't you just let it go and leave? Can't you stay and do something?"

"The world has its own abilities." Zhuang Shuo's voice was so flat that there was no ups and downs, "Besides, there is no long-term plan in the world, and the replacement of dynasties is also common, so why bother to go against the sky and waste effort?"

He Ding suddenly changed his face, "Ashuo, you..."

Jiang She was also shocked. Although he knew that Jiang Yuan was guarding the door, no one else would listen to him, but such words, even if they were only among them, were extremely rebellious.Zhuang Shuo is really abnormal today, he didn't know how to say so many words, let alone say such words...

Xu Su was even more dumbfounded, and when he spoke again, his voice trembled slightly, "There is no long-term plan in the world... In your eyes, even changing dynasties is common, so the relationship between us all these years is actually even more worthless." I mentioned it, didn't I?"

Zhuang Shuo didn't answer, but he didn't deny it either, which actually showed his attitude.

Xu Su nodded again and again, "Hello...Hello! I was blind, and I was delusional to keep you with our friendship for many years. If that's the case, please ask your immortality to live forever!"

After saying that, he snatched the door and left.

"A Suo..." He Dingcai recovered from his stupefaction, told him not to catch up, and before he could catch up, he couldn't help but looked at Zhuang Shuo and sighed, "Why are you doing this? Knowing that he admits death..."

Zhuang Shuo didn't respond, but stood up and bowed to her, "Today, I've been entertained by my virtuous brother. It's late, so I won't bother you too much. Brother Yu will leave now." After speaking, he asked He Ding, who only said I'm not going yet, I made an appointment for the next round of hands-on talks, and I'm about to ask for advice.

Jiang She couldn't remember when they met, but he didn't expose it. He was still in shock, and didn't know whether to stay or agree, but he returned the gift first, and saw that He Ding nodded slightly, and then Come down, and when he was about to send him out, Zhuang Shuo said no, she looked at He Ding and shook her head, so she didn't force him to stay.

After Zhuang Shuo left, He Dingcai gave another wry smile, and admitted that it was just an excuse, "Today, the young general is really ashamed to watch this."

Jiang She shook his head, "It doesn't matter to me, but Mr. Xu doesn't seem to be very good. But brother Zhuang...does it seem to be intentional?"

"The Major General also noticed it?" He Ding smiled wryly, "I also think he did it on purpose, I mentioned to the Major General earlier that Ah Suo didn't want him to go up the mountain, but it was really too much for him to do so. "

After he finished speaking, he sighed again.Jiang She was also silent for a moment, before he asked, "Brother Zhuang is leaving?"

"It seems to be coming soon." Seeing her surprise, He Ding laughed at himself again, "He never mentioned it, and Eso was so angry. But Jingli... as he said, there is really nothing to worry about gone."

Jiang She nodded, but said nothing.Everyone has their own aspirations, and since Zhuang Shuo has made up his mind to transcend the world, if he really thinks about him, there is no need to force him.Xu Su... After all, it's true love and sex, it's just that I can't think about it now.

The two of them stopped mentioning this matter and said a few words about Du Guozhang.He Ding just told her not to take Zhuang Shuo's words to heart, the Son of Heaven is holy, even if there is a small trouble, it will not be a major hindrance, and all matters in the court should be done as best as possible, with a clear heart.

Jiang She should come down, send him out of the mansion, turn around, but can't help thinking.

Is Zhuang Shuo really exaggerating?Did Emperor Zhaoning really stand on the sidelines like that and take the opportunity to explode?If so, is it the proper meaning of the emperor's mind, or is it a belief in Deng Gun's blindness?But when he talked about peace and war with her, it was clear that every sentence was reasonable, and he was not relentless in punishing corruption today.If it's just to explain to Du Feng, that's not necessary.

A temporary move... She thought of Zhuang Shuo's words again, but even if it was a temporary move, it might be because it was too strict. Such a government order is indeed unsustainable.But this does not mean that Emperor Zhaoning did not have the idea of ​​working hard to govern.

That's right, after all Zhuang Shuo had never been in contact with Emperor Zhaoning like she did, so it is reasonable to be biased.In the end, he had never been an official in the court, and like her, he was taught by precepts and deeds, and what he learned from books, after all, it was just talk on paper.

After she thought it through, she felt the depression in her chest relieved, called Jiang Yuan, and went to the school grounds side by side.The feather arrow whizzed away, but she didn't feel much joy in her heart when she heard the exclamation of the servants secretly surrounding her.

After all, this is not yellow sand in the desert, and an arrow hits the enemy's feather helmet, so why praise it?But she was confined in the capital and could not go back, but Zhuang Shuo was going to leave his hometown, and the worldly affairs... did not last long.
