Reincarnation of the powerful minister

Shen Qi left the South Study Room, and within a short distance, she met Prince Zhu Helin in the corridor.He backed away and bowed his knees in a half-kneeling salute.

The prince's face was radiant and his steps were brisk. When he saw Shen Qi, he was startled, as if remembering something from the past, his face darkened, and he stopped and said, "Shen 'righteous man'?"

There was sarcasm in this greeting, Shen Qi said expressionlessly: "His Royal Highness is a thousand years old."

The prince still hated him for taking advantage of his torture injuries to take over Su Yan, and he was sure that Su Yan was soft-hearted and generous, and enjoyed taking care of him before bed every night, so that Su Yan didn't go to the East Palace for half a month.

——I don't know if I was eaten tofu by others during my stay in Shen's house as a servant.

Since the crown prince opened Jingguan, the palace has arranged to teach and guide the nuns to guide him in matters of human relations with spring paintings.As a result, he drove people away, scribbled on the painting, and got angry after a few more words of persuasion.

When Emperor Jinglong heard it, he only thought that he was shy and playing with his temper as a child, so he smiled and refused to teach him, saying that he would naturally understand when he was older.Privately ordered Jin Yiwei to inquire about the Eastern Palace, and reported back: The prince's attitude towards the beautiful court ladies remains the same, he does not show the slightest teenage affection, and he only treats the few servants who are close to him as playmates.The only thing is to treat Su Yan differently to the prince's attendant, a letter of greetings from Shaanxi was flipped back and forth and saw that the creases were about to break, so I pasted it up and kept it.

The crown prince liked Su Yan, it was almost clearly written on his face, the emperor knew it at a glance.But this liking was too clear, with the passionate and pure spirit of a young man, not mixed with lust, and it also made the emperor a little bit distracted, turning his defensive eyes more on the bad-behavior and eager King Yu.

The emperor knew that King Yu was a sex hunter, and after being repeatedly beaten by him, he no longer took action against the court officials, and was willing to do practical things for the country and the people. Obsession is really a headache.

As the saying goes, there are only those who can be thieves for a thousand days, but there is no one who can guard against thieves for a thousand days. Unless King Yu is really imprisoned in the high wall of Fengyang, even if he sends Jin Yiwei to keep an eye on him, he may not be able to keep an eye on the twelve hours a day.But if King Yu is really imprisoned, not to mention that he can't bear it as a real brother, the Queen Mother will definitely be the first to jump out and scold him for harming his siblings, and even scold Su Yan for confusing the Lord and flattering the Lord, and the next Yi will directly It's a matter of death.

In such a dilemma, he simply took advantage of Wei Jun's injury and disability, and sent Su Yan out of the capital for a period of time, away from the center of the whirlpool, to go to a local place for experience, and to accumulate qualifications and political achievements for future promotion.It also made King Yu calm down, maybe after a year or so, his passionate and fickle younger brother will have a new love, and his thoughts on Su Yan will fade away.

The emperor restrained himself and kept the etiquette, and reluctantly gave up his love in order to fulfill the other party's ambitions. In public and private, he did not want to see the community he guarded being tarnished, and he had a long-term plan for Su Yan.However, King Yu only regarded him as a hypocrite with duplicity, boasting of his own righteousness, and secretly making love in secret. For the sake of his own reputation, Su Yan made Su Yan an unscrupulous underground lover.That's all, something happened to Su Yan, but he refused to protect Su Yan due to the pressure of all parties, and even demoted him to the outside world, which is really selfish.

——If I am in this position, I will protect my beloved first no matter what. If the other party insists on a title, I can even make it known to the world as a male queen.Who dares to object, the emperor laid down millions of corpses in a rage, is it for nothing?King Yu thought so.

The king of Yu wanted to provoke the emperor with the affair in the waterside pavilion, but unfortunately Su Yan left Beijing the next day. Empty talk was ineffective, so he could only wait for the person concerned to come back from Shaanxi, and designed for the emperor to witness it with his own eyes, so as to force him to give up on Su Yan completely. Continue to put on his Mingjun airs.

One of the two brothers disliked the other's licentiousness, and the other despised the other's hypocrisy, so that in their eyes, the little thought of the prince was like a child playing house, not worth talking about.

But Shen Qi squatted on the beam in the small south courtyard, saw the prince playing with Su Yan on the bed, her words revealed her inner reverie, her thoughts were not pure.The time when he came to the door to show Mawei, the prince's eyes were clearly full of strong possessive desire for another person, and he stared at him arrogantly, which was the hostile look that only males in competition would have.

No matter how small a tiger is, it will drink blood and eat meat, Shen Qi will not take it lightly.

Seeing that his reaction was indifferent, as if he didn't understand the sarcasm, the prince felt bored and annoyed, and couldn't help but mocked again: "Is it useful to have ten boys, maids and maids each given to you? Even if the sickness in front of the bed is changed every day." , You can also take two days without heavy samples. In the future, if you are injured and sick again, you will not be so miserable that no one will serve you, so you don't need La Suyan to accompany you."

These words not only satirized Shen Qi's misfortune, but also deliberately made him feel bad.But Shen Qi was not angered, let alone tell the truth - among those 20 people, there were eyes and ears sent by you, the prince, who could not be used or sold, so I bought [-] mu of fertile land on the outskirts of the city and sent them to work in a hut , When Su Yan came back from Shaanxi, he would eat the fruits and vegetables grown by himself.

He still had a paralyzed face, and replied imperceptibly: "Thank you for the reward, Your Highness. I am very grateful. I will spare no effort to do my job well in order to repay the emperor's favor."

The crown prince saw that the head of Jin Yiwei couldn't insert needles and splash water, it was extremely boring, he wondered why his father loved to beat his courtiers so much, if everyone was half dead like Shen Qi, what's the fun in beating?

But now that I hit it, I feel unwilling to let it go easily.The prince thought for a while, the corners of his mouth slowly turned up, and he smiled maliciously: "He wrote me a letter."

Who this "he" is, they both knew each other, Shen Qi's heart sank when she heard it.

"Three full pages, talking about what he saw on the road, what he thought of, and what he did in Yan'an... I can't stop writing." The prince said slowly, "He said he missed me, and asked me if I missed him? Ask me if my homework is heavy every day, and tell me to pay attention to my body, don't be too tired, and talk endlessly. Why do you think this person is so annoying? When I saw him off, I specifically explained that I don't need to write to me. But as soon as he arrived in Shaanxi, he couldn't wait to start writing, and even sent it four hundred miles to the capital. Hey, did he write it for you too?"

The tone of feigned anger and false resentment was full of showing off, and it was childish enough.But Shen Qi was irritated, she gritted her teeth and remembered that Su Yan hadn't sent a single word back, and she had learned all the news about him through Gao Shuo's secret reports.

——Why didn't Su Yan write to him?

The prince saw the clue from Shen Qi's gloomy expression, and said triumphantly: "It must have been written, after all, he said that you are a 'dead brother'."

Shen Qi's back molars were about to be gritted, and she couldn't help raising her eyebrows: "Naturally, it's not as good as Master Su's caring for His Highness. I think back then, when I was still a young boy, my uncle wrote to me in the same tone. , It’s really touching, thank you, Your Highness, for letting me recall the kindness of the elders.”

The prince was stunned, his anger welled up, and he wanted to scold him for talking nonsense, Su Yan is not kind to the young master!But then it occurred to him that he was talking about his uncle over and over again, and his insinuations were all insinuations. If he took the initiative to get involved, it would be the 300 taels of no silver here.

For a while, some dogs bit the hedgehog, feeling like they couldn't bite.

Shen Qi clasped her fists and said, "You can't neglect the errands ordered by the emperor, can His Highness allow the minister to retire first?"

The prince waved his hand impatiently: "Go away, it's okay, don't be an eyesore in front of the young master."

Shen Qi left neatly.

The prince was so angry that he kicked the railing of the corridor hard, breaking the solid wooden railing.

Shen Qi went back to Beizhen Fusi with a gloomy face, and saw that the courtroom was still bustling with people, and he pulled up with one hand to torture Qianhu Shiyanshuang, and was in the process of slapping the prisoner.

The stick is a row of chi-long wooden sticks strung together, like a book, the ropes on both sides are stretched tightly, the wooden sticks squeeze your fingers, and the ten fingers connect to the heart, causing people to scream and scream.

The prisoner screamed and cursed, his bones were so hard.

"Have you confessed yet?" Shen Qi asked with a frown.

Shi Yanshuang said in shame: "Humble and incompetent."

Hearing the screams, Shen Qi was like silk and bamboo, and her restless mood gradually calmed down. She ordered someone to bring a small oil pan, and continued to burn it with coals. The boiling oil in the pan was bubbling, scorching hot.

He inserted the lower end of the stick into the pot, and the prisoner's fingers were baked by the steam above the oil surface, and the pain was piercing.

Shen Qi sneered: "If you don't confess again, I'll cut off your fingers one by one, put them into the frying pan, and then feed them to you. These are called deep-fried dough sticks, do you want to eat them?"

The prisoner's face was pale, and he gritted his teeth without saying a word. As expected, one of his little fingers was cut off, and it sizzled in the oil pan, deep-fried until crispy, and stuffed into his mouth hot.

The prisoner could bear the punishment, but he couldn't bear the fear of eating his own flesh, so he had to confess: the Yellow River burst, causing floods in Huai'an, the imperial court distributed 9 taels of silver to the prefectures and counties, and the magistrate of Shanyang County embezzled 5000 taels of silver. 1 taels.Hearing that the imperial court sent a supervisory censor to inspect the disaster relief work, he wanted to bribe the other party with [-] taels. Unexpectedly, the censor was upright and clean.Panicked by the magistrate of Shanyang County, he bought the servant of the censor with a lot of money, strangled him to death with his belt, and faked the scene of his death by hanging himself.

In order to get rid of the crime, the magistrate took 1 taels of silver to inform himself as the magistrate of Huai'an, and submitted a petition to Nanzhili, which led to the conclusion that the chief minister, the procuratorate, and the governor all accepted the conclusion of suicide.It wasn't until the coffin was delivered home that the wife of the censor discovered that the manuscript left by her husband contained words such as "Shanyang magistrate pretended to give money to benefit me, but I dare not accept it". She suspected that her husband died of murder, so she went to Beijing to appeal for grievances.

Emperor Jinglong ordered a thorough investigation of the case, and the magistrate of Shanyang committed suicide in fear of crime.Seeing that there was no one to testify, the magistrate of Huai'an firmly refused to admit to taking bribes, and only said that he was deceived by the subordinate officials and did not know the inside story.

Seeing that he was still stubborn after three rounds of torture, Shen Qi finally used this trick to fry fried dough sticks, and finally he couldn't stand it anymore, so he let go and signed the plea.

Ordering someone to throw the unconscious prisoner into the prison cell, Shen Qi looked at the word "Huai'an" on the confession form, and snorted in a low voice: "Why isn't it Shaanxi."

But even if it was the case in Shaanxi, he couldn't spare the time right now, and he had to get rid of the demon monk Jiyao as instructed by the emperor before he had the chance to leave Beijing for a business trip.

The courtroom was cleaned up by the school captains, and there was still a faint smell of frying meat in the air. Shen Qi sat down on the Grand Master's chair indifferently, with her legs habitually placed on the edge of the table, and ordered the Jinyiwei spies to collect information about the successor Yao gathered all the information and planned to find a breakthrough point from it.

At this moment, a school guard hurried in and said: "There is a man outside the door who claims to be a messenger, saying that there is a letter from Shaanxi, and he will hand it over to Shen Qian, the Fusi of Beizhen, and his subordinates will accept it." After receiving the letter, report it to your lord immediately."

Shen Qi had already told the guard to pay attention to the incoming letters, and when she heard that she couldn't restrain her excitement, she jumped off the chair: "Give it to me!"

The captain was about to take out the letter from his arms, when Shen Qi suddenly called: "Wait! The smell here is bad."

He motioned for the other party to follow him, came to the back hall, ordered someone to bring a basin of water, washed his hands carefully with soap, sniffed himself, and felt that there was no trace of blood smell, so he was not at ease, and stretched out to the captain In front of him: "Smell, what's the smell?"

The captain leaned over and lowered his head, leaned over to sniff his hand like a dog, sniffed his hand vigorously, and said, "It's delicious."

Shen Qi took out the envelope from the school lieutenant's arms, waved her away.He couldn't wait to open the letter, but he held the table full of delicacies in a daze like a starving person, and wandered outside the house like a timid wanderer who was close to his hometown, only caressing the words "Mr. Reluctant to take it apart right away.

Taking a final breath, carefully peel off the sealant and unfold the letter.

There is only one sheet of white letter paper, with a few lines of ink marks on it, clean and lively, with a long and elegant artistic conception, like black cranes falling on the white waves.

"The sky is far away and the earth is wide, and the fireworks in the world are all about you, and all are not for you. Qilang, I miss you."

Shen Qi's fingers trembled, and a hazy mist suddenly gushed out in front of her eyes, making black and white words blur into the ultimate happiness in his life.
