Chapter 53 Trial Fox (Following Collection)

Bad luck usually catches the right one.With the first pile, there will naturally be a second pile, and a third pile.Even more unlucky things were waiting for him - the dying imperial concubine took the medicine that night, and stopped vomiting the next day, and didn't pass it to the official room very much. In the afternoon, she yelled that she was hungry.

The noble concubine who drank the porridge mourned, holding the emperor's hand and crying.Crying that I was almost drunk by the dry branch soup.The emperor was so comforted, and gave him many pearls and jade things.The noble concubine stopped making trouble.She relied on the child in her womb and relied on hope to survive the catastrophe, but whether the carcass was damaged or not, she had to wait until it was born, and she was still worried at the moment. Since the emperor promised to severely punish her persecutors, she now The only thing to worry about is the children.

In the Qianqing palace, the emperor paced back and forth with a livid face and hands behind his back.The inquiry into the case of counterfeit medicines needs a leader. He doesn't want the three courts to intervene in this matter. After all, many things in the palace are related to the dignity of the royal family.The emperor protects his weaknesses, for fear of provoking outside discussions.

Another reason is that he knew in his heart that the Ministry of Punishment was unwilling to intervene in the affairs of the palace. If it was pressed hard, there might not be any results.In any case, it was the emperor's servants who made mistakes, and outsiders couldn't figure out what to ask and what not to ask.Besides, beating a dog depends on the owner. If he asked too many questions, Fu Lun just used the emperor as a prevarication to reply, but in the end he had no choice but to close the case casually, causing a mess all over the place.

The most important thing is that Fu Lun is a senior member of the second rank, and the six ministers are only from the first rank, and the ranks cannot be suppressed.

But I have to check it out.

In fact, the emperor understood that the most suitable person was Prince Yi Guanglu.But the name kept going around, but I just couldn't make up my mind.He didn't want the outside world to know about the things in the palace, and Guanglu, let alone him.It's not good for him to know something through this matter.

Tong Liuye stood by the door with his hands like clay sculptures and wood carvings, only waiting for the emperor to call him to come back to life.

He knew in his heart why the emperor was upset, but as a slave, he must not let his master feel that the slave has seen through it. Some things, even if he is clear in his heart, he has to pretend not to know.Only by staying with the master can he live a long time to enjoy wealth.

Sure enough, the emperor called him after a while, and after chatting about other matters for a while, he changed the topic, "Who used to hold the line when asking about cases in the palace?"

Tong Liu thought for a while, and registered the names of the princes who worked in the previous dynasty like a few.

"Well, it's either that the old ones are useless, or that no one is in Beijing." The emperor became even more annoyed when he heard this.

Tong Liu also has a headache, your older generation has a thin population, so who can blame it? !Today's son's life is even more difficult, there is only one biological brother left, and he has to guard against thieves, isn't it useless?The master of Zhongxing in the previous dynasty, the Forbidden City with many Sangongs and six courtyards was almost too much to live in. There were more than 20 sons and brothers in his family. Except for the short-lived and unusable, Prince Heshuo and the prince sealed more than a dozen.Thinking about it, I really feel anxious for my master.

The emperor is like this, he doesn't know how many people are surrounded by people, but when it's time to use it, he finds that none of them can be used.What the teacher said is right. Enke should have been granted a scholarship early on, so as not to be unable to accept it now.

Eunuchs can't do politics, the emperor asked, he can answer, the emperor didn't open his mouth, no matter how good the idea is, he can't pass it out.

"Apart from Guanglu, isn't there anyone else who is useful?" the emperor murmured.Pressing his forehead, the headache got worse.

He raised his eyes and saw Tong Liu standing there dumbfounded, he was furious for a moment, and angrily took the imperial pen on the desk and threw it at him.The Imperial Brush dipped in cinnabar ink twirled a few times in the air, and the thrown red ink wiped Tong Liu's face, and after drawing a long red mark, it rolled down into his arms.

Tong Liu cautiously held up the pen, put it back to its original position respectfully, but stepped back three steps, pretended to be stupid and said in a daze, "Your Majesty is saying that it is very useful? My servant sees that our Daxia Kingdom is full of talents, why is there no one there?" How to use it? Let’s not talk about it. In New Year’s Eve, the money Qi Ye found for you is very good. It’s from the slave’s hometown. When I was a child, I heard that there are people who go into the mountains to catch a kind of wild rabbit. Catch one or two, and the whole family will have chewing grains for the next year.

The Zihao that Qi Ye paid tribute to was not simple. I heard that the old wild rabbit hid in the deep mountains and old forests, ate bamboo and drank springs all his life.It also has to be the hair that grows where they burrow and rub.The slave has seen craftsmen picking fur. How many hairs does a rabbit have? There is only one in a million miles.Only one can be used!
Catch a houseful of rabbits, and gather less than the hair of a pen, which shows its preciousness.Master, look at this useful bamboo, it's not easy!This is called deer-spotted bamboo, and it grows in places that are suitable for humidity, and not all of them can produce the deer-skin spots, python-skin spots, and cratered mountains. . . "

He chattered endlessly here, and it was the first time that the emperor heard that the rabbit that made the pen could be worth a year's rations for a poor family.Years ago, Guangcheng sent several boxes of pens, which were really useful for him to mark memorials, and he did not expect them to be so expensive.

He was thinking about it, when he heard Tong Liu nagging, "If you want to say capable people, Seventh Master must be one! The slave's hometown is a remote village, where there are few people on weekdays, and this thing is produced every year. He can still find it for you. Can't you do it?"

At this time, the emperor thought about the taste.

As Tong Liu said, isn't this old seven a rabbit that has grown into a sperm?I don't seem to have any plans to do things, but I can be smart in my heart.Let him take the lead in interrogating Fulun. Don't look at Fulun as an old fox, but he is a genius.Only goblins can restrain the thousand-year-old fox.

Even better, he doesn't need to use Guanglu anymore.

He raised his head happily, and saw Tong Liu with a face full of ink. He couldn't help but be amused, hey, he didn't need to paint his face, he was a real Zhong Kui!
As for Qi Ye, he became the imperial envoy immediately after being confused.He shied away several times in a row, but the emperor patted him on the shoulder kindly, promising that the errand would be done and he would be crowned king.

Grab your own spoils by yourself?It's never been heard in ancient times, but Qi Ye is so arrogant now!The happy Guangcheng went to look for Najiu after leaving Qianqing Palace.

That's how it was done.Qi Ye was also puzzled, and felt that it was a pity when he looked back, he should have asked Second Brother for a few more good birds!
The people with the three law divisions will interrogate.For the sake of prudence, all the officials who came came.The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment and the Minister of Dali Temple went out in person, and the Zuodu Yushi from the Metropolitan Procuratorate handled the case solemnly with his nose up to Master Qi.

The matter is not complicated, and it was quickly cleared up. When buying Jingming, he was greedy for small profits and did not get the goods from the former imperial merchants. He met a medicine merchant from the northeast. Because his mother had a sudden illness, he hurried back years ago. Therefore, the stock in hand is sold at a low price.The inventory also happened to be mostly precious medicinal materials.Although Jing Ming was greedy, he was also cautious. He asked the people in the imperial doctor's room to take a closer look, and they were all in good condition.After Jing Ming made a calculation, he would be able to drop several thousand taels of this deal based on the current price. In addition, the medicinal material dealer was in a hurry to ship the goods, so he pushed down the price hard, and bought them all at 1% of the price.Inside and outside, it can drop [-] taels.

Even coaxing and cheating, the medicinal material dealer had no choice but to agree, and he was in a hurry to go home. He was sure that he would lose money, and he accepted it, but he asked Jingming to wrap up and take away some of the remaining common medicinal materials.Inside, there is that taste Huoxiang stalk.
