Chronicle of Emperor Jing

Zhao Shi checked the members of the Flying Fish Gang, and got some valuable news.

He sat in front of the case, meditated for a while, wrote a memorial, and sent it to the palace in person.

The emperor quickly summoned him, but after reading this scripture, the emperor remained silent for a long time.

"Your Majesty, should I report these matters to Marquis Yongning in detail?" Zhao Shi asked tentatively after waiting for the emperor's order.

Marquis Yongning was still kept in the dark about many things, but Zhao Shi knew it well.

In this matter, it was another deputy commander of the Jinwei camp who came forward to instigate him. This deputy commander was surnamed Wu, and his ancestors were also heroes of the founding of the country. No matter in terms of background or qualifications, he was on par with Yongninghou.Deputy Commander Wu felt that his only inferiority was that he did not have the favor of the Marquis of Yongning, so it was reasonable for him to be very unconvinced that the Marquis of Yongning was about to take over.

In order for Shen Quan to successfully enter Duanmen to file an imperial complaint, Deputy Commander Wu ordered the members of the Flying Fish Gang to kill Li Dalang, a servant of the Beichaofang, and sink his body at the bottom of the river.

There is also a deputy commander who did not do anything on the surface, but he has always been very close to that deputy commander Wu. If it is said that he has no knowledge of these matters, I am afraid that he will not be able to convince others.

There are also some people, such as when Shen Quan collided with the emperor, those guards who couldn't react in time, and the people behind them, probably also got involved in this matter.

For some things, Zhao Shi had obtained evidence, and for some things, he had speculated.

"If you report these things to the Marquis of Yongning, what do you think the Marquis of Yongning will do?" The emperor who sat at the top didn't answer his question, but asked instead.

"These people are lawless, set up a situation to harm people, and implicate innocent people. If the Marquis of Yongning finds out, he will definitely impeach them!"

"I said that day that Qing had been with the Marquis of Yongning for a long time and had learned the benevolence of his woman. After hearing this, Qing was still very unconvinced, and secretly scolded me in her heart? After thinking about it carefully, you should know, do this , It’s just an extra circle, and in the end, the matter will still come back to my hands.”

"I don't dare!" Zhao Shi heard the emperor say this, and he was sweating hot in the winter. To slander the emperor is to be disrespectful to the emperor. It's okay if the emperor doesn't know.

"Hmph, Qing knows best whether Qing has slandered me in his heart!" Jing Li snorted coldly, noncommittal to Zhao Shi's defense.

Seeing that Wei Yan trusted Zhao Shi so much, he didn't bother to pay attention to Zhao Shi's slander, but it didn't mean he didn't know, and if he beat him from time to time, Zhao Shi would inevitably make up his own mind.

"Your Majesty, if I don't report to Marquis Yongning, Marquis Yongning will always be kept in the dark. If one day he mistakenly treats his enemy as a friend, wouldn't it make the enemy laugh at him!" Zhao Shi refused to give up, and wanted to fight for Marquis Yongning's right to know.

The emperor just didn't want Marquis Yongning to take action and get his hands dirty, so he didn't want Marquis Yongning to face these things directly, but Marquis Yongning would have to face such things sooner or later.

"I will tell him about these things, you hand over some members of the Feiyu Gang to the government office, and settle these cases, and I will handle other matters." Jing Li didn't want to explain to him.

When these people do things, they must switch countless hands. As long as they cut off any card at random, there will be no proof. There will be no justice that Wei Yan wants.

The prince breaks the law and commits the same crime as the common people. Most of the time it is just talking.Unless the prince does it himself, and there are all witnesses and evidences, someone will always jump out to help him take the blame for various reasons.

Jing Li knew these things too well, so he didn't want Wei Yan to spend a lot of effort, and in the end he had to get a few servants in.

However, these people bullied Wei Yan like this, and to put it bluntly, they didn't take him seriously as the emperor. Of course, he had to teach them a profound lesson.

"Stand back, sir."

"My minister retire."

After Zhao Shi left, Jing Li sat alone for a long while, pondered for a while, and then ordered: "Xuan Xie Meng for seeing you."

Ever since the emperor and Wei Yan reconciled during Qiushou, the emperor finally calmed down and lost the interest to torment Xie Meng, Xie Meng finally lived a peaceful life for a while.

Xie Meng went from a second-rank local official with real power to a first-rank official without real power, and was demoted to a sixth-rank official by the emperor. He was sent to manage the library in the palace. His official career was also quite bumpy.

Xie Meng thought at first that if he was able to escape a catastrophe and was not directly silenced by the emperor just because he knew about Lu Zhu and that child, the bad luck in his life should have come to an end.

After all, speaking from the emperor's heart, the emperor probably would rather Wei Yan's step-nephew inherit the Marquis of Yongning than he would have a child with Luzhu. Will never know about it.

When Xie Meng reported this matter to the emperor that day, he was betting on his own life, and that child's life as well.

King You did have remnants that day, the sky was high in the south and the emperor was far away, and these remnants were scattered to the south. At that time, Luzhu went to the south, following the order of the Queen Mother, to catch these fish.

Xie Meng always thought that the child that Luzhu used for fishing was just a child she bought on the way. When he knew from Luzhu's letter that this was her and Wei Yan's child, he was too shocked to believe it.

Luzhu finally said that if he failed to catch something, he could use it to ask the emperor for his life. Anyway, all the fish were caught. At the end of the stage, it would be a waste not to use it. His life was placed in the hands of the emperor, and he realized that he was stupid when the matter came to an end.

When the emperor heard about this, he really opened his eyes.Both he and the child are safe and sound.

Later, he calmed down, thought it over carefully, and wanted to understand why Lu Zhu was so sure that the child would be fine.

The emperor cared about Wei Yan in his heart, and couldn't bear to make him sad, and since the green beads were not caught together, the emperor simply couldn't silence them all. I guarantee that this matter will never be leaked out. superfluous thing.

Xie Meng claimed to be a smart person, but now, he has to admit that Luzhu is the real smart person, and his ability to calculate people's hearts is much better than him.

Now, Xie Meng, who has put her mentality in order, only works with ancient and rare books every day, and her small life is also very enjoyable.

Today is New Year's Eve, his wife led the maids to work in the kitchen early on, while he was playing with his youngest son Zhenghong.

In the past, he was busy with work, and he took time out to complete the children's upbringing. Now that he is free, he spends more time with the children.

Holding a pen, he was teaching his son to draw plum blossoms in the courtyard when he saw the servant beside him rushing into the main courtyard like a gust of wind.

"Master, hurry up...change your clothes..." The servant was out of breath and said intermittently.

"Speak slowly, what happened?" Xie Meng put down her pen.

The young man tried his best to catch his breath, and then said: "Master, there are people from the palace, and I announce that you will go to the palace immediately to see you!"

Xie Meng looked up at the sky, the sun had already moved to the west half, the emperor declared him into the palace at this time, what was the reason for it?

"Know what?"

"The visitor didn't say anything."

"Help me change my clothes."

"Yes."

Xie Meng changed his clothes and hurried into the palace. The emperor summoned him in the outer hall.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, thank you, thank you Meng!" Xie Meng's gift was also meticulous.

The emperor managed to live in peace for a while, and forgot about him. He didn't want to do anything wrong, so the emperor often missed him.

"Let's get down." Jing Li looked at him carefully, but didn't give him a seat.

To Xie Meng, because he failed to exile Xie Meng as he wished, and let him taste the taste of exile, he was still very upset, and wanted to torment him if he had nothing to do.

During these days, Wei Yan and him were like glue, he was so happy that he forgot to trouble Xie Meng.Now he is unhappy, no, I think of him again.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xie Meng naturally knew her position in the emperor's heart, and stood by obediently, not daring to complain at all.

Besides, he is only a sixth-rank official now, and he is not qualified to sit in front of the emperor.

"Xie Aiqing, there is one thing. If you can do it for me, you will be able to atone for your sins. Not only will the past be canceled, but I will continue to use Qing again. I just don't know if Qing is willing to do it with your heart?" Jing Li didn't say anything. He chattered in vain, but made his words very clear.

If Xie Meng wants to continue to be used by him, he had better try to show it, now is the time for him to show it.

"Please order, Your Majesty, I will serve Your Majesty, even if I die!"

"Don't worry, death is not enough. You should have heard about the case of slaves of wealthy families forcibly buying common people's land, right?"

"What does Your Majesty mean?" Xie Meng couldn't help but thump when she heard this.

The tone of the emperor... If he pokes this hornet's nest, Wan Shi will definitely not, because he will not survive Wan Shi at all.

"What I mean is that such a case of slaves buying land by force is probably not an isolated case. Every time I think of the fact that the life of the common people is still so difficult under the emperor's feet, my heart aches. Aiqing is willing to share my worries. Make decisions for the people?" Jing Li is definitely very concerned about the country and the people, regardless of his expression or tone.

Xie Meng's heart was beating a drum.

This kind of thing is indeed not an isolated case, but the one who dares to do this kind of thing is definitely not a small family. The emperor asked him to investigate this kind of case, which is to set him on fire.

But if he doesn't do it, I'm afraid he will stay in the Library Pavilion without seeing the light of day for the rest of his life.

Xie Meng thought of this, gritted her teeth, and finally admitted.

Wealth and wealth are sought in danger. If a person like him is timid and afraid to do anything, he will not be as high-ranking as he was back then.

"Of course I'm willing to share your majesty's worries, but I'm afraid the officials have a small position, and I'm afraid there will be a lot of resistance when we investigate." Xie Meng expressed his determination first, and then cried out the difficulties.

This is the trick of being an official. You must do well what you have to do as you have been told by your superiors, but you have to cry often when you are in trouble.Whoever doesn't cry is a fool. Even if he works hard, the higher ups probably won't see his hard work.

"Thank you, Aiqing!"

"Chen is here!"

"After the new year, Qing should go to the Department of Civil Affairs. In this matter, the Department of Civil Affairs is responsible for collecting information, Qing is responsible for field investigation, and the government office is responsible for hearing the case. I will not invent an edict first, lest someone keep an eye on Qing's movements. Give Qing a secret order first. Don't worry, I will not ignore the safety of Qing and the safety of Qing's family. Accept the order!"

Wanting the horse to run, but not letting the horse eat grass, Jing Li would not do such a thing.

Since he is going to use Xie Meng's knife, he must sharpen it, and it will not be broken easily.

"The minister obeys the order!"

Xie Meng knelt down and received the secret decree.
