After I was reborn, I became the white moonlight of the destitute son

Chapter 115

Are the officials above the third rank in the court all trash?

The one who stood up to speak at this time turned out to be... Mr. Yang who gave him the most headache.

And he was the only one, and no one stood up to join him.

It really... made him lose face.

The emperor was furious, got up and took two steps forward, raised his voice and said: "When there is a disaster, it is necessary to provide disaster relief, then the candidates for the disaster relief, all the noble families come to discuss, which one is more suitable to send? "

"Hasn't the Ministry of Households elected? What about the Ministry of Officials? The Ministry of Industry..."

……

Quiet, the entire hall was deadly silent.

Even if the emperor nodded on his head, no one took the initiative to speak up.

Disaster relief seems to be holding money and food.However, after layers of exploitation, those who went to the disaster relief not only have no money to fish for, but also have to take the blame for others if they are not careful.

It looks like a fat job, but it is actually a drudgery.

Working hard in the rain and wind not only won't get any good, but one mistake may cost your life, and even your whole family.Well done, that is the duty of an official.If you don't do well, you will bear the infamy of thousands of people.

In the silence, Zhou Changbai, who had just returned to Beijing on a business trip, stood up and asked for orders loudly.

"I beg your orders!"

The emperor nodded in satisfaction and said: "Well, besides Mr. Zhou, is there any other adult who would like to go?"

It's not that he doesn't want to use Zhou Changbai, but that he has been traveling for several months to solve the spring drought this year, and he just returned to Beijing for a few days.There is no reason to send him out again, and it's not that there are no civil and military people in the court.

But right now the silence...

It's really that no one in the civil and military courts is available.

The emperor was angry.

They are all afraid of taking responsibility, they just want to please, and they don't want to contribute. I am not as good as you wish.

"Since you don't speak, then I will arrange it myself..."

The emperor's old face was as cold as water, and a pair of dragon eyes swept all the courtiers one by one with power and anger, and finally he snorted coldly, and sat back on the dragon chair.

"Promote Zhou Changbai as a cabinet bachelor, confer Zhongshun doctor, and lead Yicheng disaster relief."

"Order the six ministries and the three divisions to cooperate with each other, and all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty will listen to it."

"Those who violate the yang and yin will be beheaded!"

"Those who seek profit in the dark, beheaded!"

"Those who carry their own elbows, beheaded!"

……

It is said that the power of heaven is unpredictable, and the king is moody.Sure enough, sincerely do not deceive me!

Zhou family, Zuiyuetang.

As soon as Zhou Changbai returned to the mansion, he was invited to the Zuiyue hall by the old man.

He thought his father called him here for disaster relief in Yicheng, but unexpectedly gave him a marriage certificate, but where did this marriage certificate... come from?

At this moment, he was staring at the name on the marriage letter with a dazed expression, and didn't recover for a long while.He has only been away from home for a few months, why is he going to marry his daughter when he comes back?This……

After thinking about it for a while, Master Zhou spoke up.

"Father, is this He family the He family in Dingyuan Houfu? Is Ning'er going to marry the orphan of General Weiyuan?"

Old Master Zhou was not satisfied with his son calling He Beiting an orphan, "Well, Dingyuanhou's Mansion is a bit tragic, and it will take decades to recover from the tragedy, but if there is no tragedy of military generals, how can we have a prosperous and peaceful world.

And that child in Huaiyuan is worthy of Ning girl. "

"Father, son doesn't mean that. The son thinks that the He family is poor and only the grandparent and grandson are left to depend on each other. They can't even use new paper to write a marriage letter. It's so miserable. How can Ning'er bear it since she was a child..."

Mrs. Zhou glared at her eldest son, pointed to the marriage letter and said, "Look carefully at this marriage letter, and speak after you understand it."

Mr. Zhou carefully held the yellowed marriage certificate in his hand, and suddenly felt a little ashamed...

The yellowing of the paper is due to the fact that the paper was written several years ago, that is, the marriage letter was written several years ago, and it may be caused by people often rubbing it in their hands...

The old man looked at his eldest son and said, "If it wasn't for Ning girl who came to the door with a token and invited her father to invite her, Huaiyuan would not have come to the door. If Ning girl hadn't made up her mind first, and her father took the initiative to propose an engagement, the marriage letter Huaiyuan It will never be sent out."

What token?Elder Zhou was dumbfounded.

The old man glanced at the eldest son, and said: "Do you still remember the sapphire that Ning girl wore next to her body since she was a child? It is the He family's belonging, and it is only passed on to the eldest son from generation to generation."

Elder Zhou: "Father, my son understands. Although the He family is a bit miserable, but with the Su family around, Ning'er has no shortage of money and contacts. With our help, it is not difficult for the He family to succeed."

"That's all you think about? With Huaiyuan's ability to revive the He family, there is no need to rely on it." The old man Zhou looked at his eldest son with a look of hatred.

"Just look, in a few years, He Jiaerlang's appearance will be unmatched."

"Uh..." Mr. Zhou was a little confused, even his father had never had such a high evaluation of Qing'er who had always been outstanding.

"But father, although a married woman like us doesn't have to just look after the door, but one must check one's morality, this hasty marriage is inevitable..."

"Articles are about style, and chess is like character. After so many years in the officialdom, you still don't understand." The old man waved his hand weakly, "Forget it, let's go, you don't ask about this marriage, don't care about it, and don't mention it to anyone , just don’t know. When will the He family’s sedan chair arrive at the door, and when will the Zhou family get married.”

Grandpa Zhou: ...

The daughter he holds in the palm of his hand is just like this...

Elder Zhou was choked by these words, and returned to the Jinyuan depressed.

Seeing Elder Zhou's brows furrowed, Mrs. Su said after handing over a cup of hot tea, "Master looks a little unhappy, but something is not going well with your business?"

Master Zhou shook his head and said: "I'm worried about our daughter, why do you think her marriage is so unsatisfactory?"

First, she was schemed by the scheming second prince, and later promised a He family with no support from the three clans.

Su breathed a sigh of relief, "I don't care what it is, let me tell you, since the old man personally decided on the family, it must be a good family.

What's more, my daughter is happy..."

Elder Zhou glanced at Mrs. Su, then shook his head helplessly and sighed.

I really found a good family, so good that all the officials in Beijing were unwilling to marry their daughters to a good family.

It's not that he wants to look down on the He family, but that his daughter deserves the best man in the world.

Chunwu Courtyard.

"What? The flood in Yicheng, my father invited me to help the disaster?"

After hearing what Liandong reported, Zhou Xining almost fell over in one breath.

In the previous life, my father was ordered to provide disaster relief, and worked hard outside for several months. He smelled the smell of Laba porridge before returning to Beijing.

In this errand, someone was secretly greedy for money and food, but took the blame for his father, thereby cutting off his father's career and ruining the reputation of the Zhou family for generations.

My grandfather secretly sent people to collect evidence. Although my father was cleared of his grievances in the end, my father suffered a lot in the sky prison. In just over a month, he tortured a healthy person with illnesses. , Hematemesis died.

Zhou Xining's mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about how to find out the ghost behind the scenes, so as to avoid his father's suffering in prison.
