Dajin royal family

Chapter 172 Suspicious Clouds
Zheng Shanyuan was very satisfied with Jiang Chengxiao's question, all he wanted was for Jiang Chengxiao to ask him.Zheng Shanyuan said: "According to my guess, His Majesty will secretly instruct you to investigate the officials in Shandong. During this disaster relief, His Majesty has already got the news about the corruption of officials in Shandong. You should be here this time to investigate these."

Hearing this, Jiang Chengxiao silently rubbed the corner of his clothes with his fingers.Zheng Shanyuan's guess cannot be said to be completely correct, but only a small part of it.The emperor did ask King Zhao to tell him this, but he went to Shandong this time mainly to solve the mob in Donglai County and secretly investigate Shandong officials. The emperor should have sent someone else to go as King Zhao said.

Hehe, if King Zhao hadn't let him know in advance, he might think that Zheng Shanyuan is really a good grandfather now.Jiang Chengxiao secretly speculated in his heart that Zheng Shanyuan definitely had some purpose.But then again, it seems pretty good for Zheng Shanyuan to tell him this?
"Grandpa thought, what should Qingque do when he is here?"

Zheng Shanyuan shook his head, did not answer him, but asked with a smile: "Why don't you tell me what you think now?"

Is this testing me?
Jiang Chengxiao's heart became more and more weird. What ideas could he have? According to the information Zheng Shanyuan provided him, he went to Shandong to investigate directly. What ideas could he have?

Wait, he probably didn't mean that, maybe he wanted to know how he acted.

Is that so? Hey, let's try it out.

Jiang Chengxiao pondered for a while, and said: "If your majesty is really like what your grandfather said, when I get to Shandong, if I catch those officials who are fish and meat people, I will definitely not let them go, and report them all to your majesty for the sake of the people. Uphold justice." When he spoke, he spoke righteously, and his whole person seemed to be the embodiment of justice, the spokesperson of light, and the best inheritor of Dajin's core values.

A little disappointment appeared on Zheng Shanyuan's face, but it quickly faded away.Such words are the words that are most suitable for his age. It would be terrible if what he said was what he was going to say next.

"Qingque, if you do this, you will face disaster!" Zheng Shanyuan's expression changed.

"Ah?!" Jiang Chengxiao's acting skills exploded, and he stammered, "What does grandpa mean by this? Shouldn't those officials who are fish and meat be arrested?"

"Of course they should be arrested!" Zheng Shanyuan first affirmed his approach, and then slowly said: "But Qingque, have you ever thought that if you arrest all the corrupt officials in Shandong, how many people will you offend? If those people are all caught by you, the imperial court will not be able to send enough people to govern there for a while, and what a mess it will cause! Have you considered these things?"

What did he mean? It sounded like it was really for his good looks.Jiang Chengxiao was completely confused. So far, Zheng Shanyuan's appearance has no flaws, as if he is really playing the role of a grandfather who loves his grandson.

The rapid change of Jiang Chengxiao's complexion "uncertain" fell into Zheng Shanyuan's eyes.After a while, Jiang Chengxiao let out a sigh of relief, "Grandfather means that if corrupt officials are really caught, we can't generalize them, but we have to choose the leader and punish and warn those vassals. The main thing is to maintain the stability of Shandong, right?"

Zheng Shanyuan nodded in relief. As expected, he is the child he fancy. He is really very smart. good.

"What you said is very good, but I still want to mention something to you." Zheng Shanyuan said.

"Ask your grandfather to teach you."

Jiang Chengxiao cupped his hands, his eyes were clear and bright, looking like a curious baby.

Zheng Shanyuan said: "After you go, you can't act in a high-profile manner. Remember not to do anything. Once you make a move, you must succeed. Otherwise, they will definitely hide their flaws when they are frightened. At that time, it will be difficult for you to find out."

Jiang Chengxiao nodded "grateful", "What my grandfather said is true, Qingque has been taught."

The carriage stopped at the intersection, and Jiang Chengxiao bid farewell to Zheng Shanyuan.

Nan Jiyun led the horse, Jiang Chengxiao got on the horse, his eyebrows were tightly knit together, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is confused now.Zheng Shanyuan has not shown anything wrong up to now, he never felt how close his relationship with Zheng Shanyuan is.

Here comes the question, why did Zheng Shanyuan tell him this?What is his purpose?
"Master, what's the matter?" Nan Jiyun couldn't help asking when he saw that Jiang Chengxiao had been thinking deeply on the spot after getting on the horse.

Turning the horse's head around and rushing towards the mansion, Jiang Chengxiao asked: "Jiyun, if a relative with whom you have a normal relationship suddenly helps you, what do you think?"

Suddenly it occurred to Ji Yun that he didn't seem to have any relatives, so he changed his words, "Now that your ordinary friend suddenly treats you kindly, and he didn't ask for anything, what do you think is the reason?"

Nan Jiyun thought for a while and said, "If he doesn't have any demands, he probably wants to ease the relationship with me, or wants to get closer."

Jiang Chengxiao squinted his eyes, Zheng Shan would like to ease the relationship with him?It seems that there is no need for this. The relationship between them is not very good, but it is not very rigid.So, does he want to be close to me?

At present, it seems that there is only one explanation, but he always feels that there is something wrong.Although he has a noble status, the head of the Zheng family in Xingyang is not joking. Is it necessary for him to take the initiative to get close to him?

"Does the master value this son so much? Although this son is indeed outstanding than his peers, His Majesty will not let him do the investigation of Shandong officials alone. This is a bit too presumptuous." The servant driving the car He is an old man who has been with Zheng Shanyuan for decades and has won his trust.

"You're right." Zheng Shanyuan lifted the curtain and said, "The blue sparrow should be a bait, don't worry."

"Reassurance?" The servant was taken aback, he understood the meaning of the bait, but he didn't understand the reassurance, and said, "What the master means is that His Majesty sent his son there to tell the officials in Shandong that he didn't intend to send them How about, just ask Shizi to go and warn them?"

Zheng Shanyuan shook his head and said nothing, but secretly sneered in his heart.The reassurance pill is not for those useless Shandong officials, but for a certain court pillar.The bait was really aimed at Shandong officials. He guessed that the emperor must not have sent Jiang Chengxiao alone to investigate, and the emperor must have sent other people secretly.

Although that kid Qingque is smart, but dealing with a group of slippery loaches, that kid is still a little bit off.The emperor must know this, he is just a bait used by the emperor to attract the attention of some people.

It seems that in a few days, we should pay close attention to the movement of personnel in the DPRK.

The servant said with emotion: "I'm afraid this prince will suffer setbacks this time, those officials are very cunning."

The corner of Zheng Shanyuan's mouth twitched, why did he feel that these words were scolding him.

"Hehe, it's good to suffer some setbacks, good."

Of course, I have to suffer some setbacks, otherwise how can I grow up, how can I realize how important the Zheng family is.

Jiang Chengxiao returned to Langya County's mansion full of doubts. In the study, Jiang Chengxiao looked at the words "Zheng", "Shandong", "Emperor" and other words on the paper and fell into deep thought. No matter what he thought, he couldn't understand. What is the meaning of Zheng Shanyuan's actions today?If there is a student of the Zheng family in Shandong who is an official there, Zheng Shan is willing to let him open the back door, which can be said reluctantly, but he didn't mention it at all.

There is no connection of interests, even he can't see what Zheng Shanyuan's interests are.

Did he really want to get close to him?

Pooh!
Thinking of this, Jiang Chengxiao immediately crumpled up the paper and put it on the candle to ignite it.It is better to believe that the current emperor is a good person than to believe in aristocratic families. He never believed that Zheng Shanyuan was just trying to get close to him. He must have his own purpose, but he didn't see it.

"Oh, it's getting more and more troublesome."
