Chapter 901: Help with the matter
"Brother Hong, how could you be so confused? Even if the official family gave the world a general amnesty and the Cao family was pardoned for the crime of exile, the Cao family had committed such a big mistake. After pardon, they would only be returned to their original place. How could you secretly The principle of returning to Bianliang."

According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, even if the emperor granted a general amnesty to the world, not everyone could be freed from sin and fully forgiven.

Spies who maliciously rebel, people who spread cults, and people who deliberately damage public facilities are all within the scope of unpardoned treatment.

The remaining people will also be dealt with differently according to their crimes.

Prisoners with minor crimes can be acquitted and regain their freedom.

Prisoners who have committed serious crimes and have done outrageous things cannot be completely pardoned, and their sentences will be reduced as appropriate according to the crime.

The extent to which a person's sentence can be commuted is probably to the extent that a person who committed a serious crime of murder earlier was originally imprisoned and awaiting execution in the future, but if there happens to be an amnesty, the sentence can be commuted to life.

"No matter what, Bianliang is the most virtuous place under the emperor's feet. The interrogation of criminals is the most stringent. The Cao family came to Beijing to seek refuge with you. After being exposed, how can you afford to be involved?"

Sheng Changbai continued to question He Hongwen.

Being a doctor is great, and Sheng Changbai also admires He Hongwen's original intention and determination to devote himself to medicine.

But without an official position, in this feudal society, there is no ability to withstand risks.

Getting into a lawsuit would be a big trouble for He Hongwen.

Although some members of the He clan were officials in the court, it was not He Hongwen himself.

There is a big difference between the rights of clan members and the rights of oneself.

"My aunt's family suffered a disaster, and all the previous relatives, friends and old friends have lost contact with them. Now their family has no one to rely on, and they can only rely on our family." He Hongwen said sadly.

It can be seen that He Hongwen is still very emotional and kind.

If you have a choice, study not for the imperial examination, but for the purpose of practicing medicine to save people.

This is enough to prove that He Hongwen has a pure nature.

"Brother Hong, I have to remind you a few words. Even if you want to help your aunt's family, there is no need to place them in Bianliang. If you let their family go to Beijing, you will have to bear a lot of responsibility. Said. The capital is big and difficult to live in, and it is not suitable for your aunt and your family who have no way of making a living."

Just don't let the Cao family enter Beijing, and there will be no further trouble in this matter.

"Brother Bai, you have a lot of experience. Please help me think about this matter. How can I solve it?"

He Hongwen still lacked some work experience.

It's still not long since I was a doctor.

After being a doctor for a long time, I can meet all kinds of people and encounter all kinds of situations.
After you gain more experience, you will also be able to become more skilled in dealing with people and affairs.

"When you let them come to Beijing, you just let them take shelter and attach themselves to you. As the saying goes, it is better to teach a person to fish than to give them a fish. Rather than supporting their family with money, it is better to help them return home and send Only when people help them set up some fields so that they can settle down and be able to support themselves can we truly be helping them.”

It also shows that He Hongwen's attitude is very emotional and he can't let go of the Cao family.

Sheng Changbai gave a relatively suitable suggestion.

If this were not the case, Sheng Changbai would not sympathize with this family at all.

"After I return, my mother and I will discuss how to settle my aunt's family." He Hongwen thought for a moment and then said.

"My aunt is in good health and needs rest. It's best not to worry about this kind of thing. Your grandmother is the most transparent person and handles things thoughtfully. You might as well listen to what your grandmother has to say."

He's mother is a confused person who doesn't know what's important, but Mrs. He is a transparent and thoughtful person.

After He Hongwen's father died, Mrs. He helped her three sons divide their families.

This prevented He Hongwen's orphaned and widowed mother from being worried about their property or bullied by the other two families.

Let He Hongwen grow up in a friendly environment, and you will know that the old lady of the He family is still a person who understands the world and knows how to run a family.

"Yes, this matter needs to be discussed with grandma."

"Okay, you go to the backyard to meet the old lady."

He said he was going to meet the old lady, but after meeting the old lady, he went to see Minglan.

At this point, Sheng Changbai ended his conversation with He Hongwen.

If Sheng Changbai didn't know that the Cao family was returning to Bianliang, the Cao family might become a hidden danger and cause some trouble.

Now that Sheng Changbai knows about this, the Cao family can no longer be considered a threat.

The worst outcome is that Sheng Changbai sends someone to Kaifeng Mansion to report the Cao family.

Let the government punish the Cao family and expel them.

Just being delayed, Sheng Changbai forgot to urge He Hongwen to go through the process with Ming Lan as soon as possible and pass the six rituals.

Although it may be useless to remind at this time, the He family wants to resettle the Cao family, and they can't take care of other things during this time.

The matter may have to be postponed for a few more days until the Cao family is settled.

"Salt, tea, wine, and iron are part of our government's annual income. Now the salt tax is unclear and the amount collected does not match the reality. It is difficult to check easily. If the court is not on guard again, I am afraid that the tax revenue will drop sharply in the future, causing disaster."

In the court hall, officials from the Third Division wrote to the emperor to investigate the salt tax.

Sheng Changbai knew that even though Zhao Zongquan had confiscated the homes of many nobles and officials and made a fortune, he was almost short of money now.

The officials of the Third Division submitted a memorial to investigate the salt tax. Of course, it was the emperor's signal.

If he hadn't communicated with the emperor privately, he wouldn't have raised these matters rashly.

Salt, tea, wine, iron, no matter which item it is, there are no small problems.

No matter which item it is, it involves a whole chain of interests up and down.

The implication is very wide, and if you want to find out clearly, it is inevitable that a large number of people will be involved.

As long as it is a tax inspection, it is a big case. No one will take the initiative to raise this kind of big case in the court without the emperor's instruction.

If the emperor does not support it, the person who submitted the memorial will have caused a wave of hatred for himself for no reason.

Not getting any benefits, but also being resented by countless vested interests in the salt tax.

"understood."

The treasury has money but no money, and the Queen Mother lacks interest.

Relatively speaking, the Queen Mother was not a troublemaker, and she did not make any major construction projects or build palaces.

As long as she can ensure the support of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother has no interest in financial power.

"I have received the memorial from the Qing family. I will make a decision after I have inquired from many parties and have a clear understanding."

That's what he said, but it was obvious that the emperor was ready to investigate the salt tax.

"Your Majesty, this minister has something to play."

After finishing speaking, Qi Heng came out to speak again.Qi Heng is a troll, but he is actually much more dedicated than Sheng Changbai.

"What are you going to play?"

"The minister wants to play the commander of the deputy commander of the palace, Ningyuan Hou Gu Tingye, his personal morals are unclean, and he corrupts the official authority..." On the surface, this matter is that Zhu Manniang has returned to Bianliang, wants to reconcile with Gu Tingye, and wants to be Gu Tingye As a concubine, you can even dream of becoming Mrs. Hou.

But Gu Tingye did not agree, and drove Zhu Manniang out of the Gu family, and even wanted to drive her out of the capital.

Then Zhu Manniang started making trouble on the streets of Bianliang.

Qi Heng targeted Gu Tingye, probably because of the Queen Mother's suggestion.

Now the Queen Mother cannot compete with the Emperor in her fight for power, so she can only let Qi Heng, the troll.

He kept picking out the faults of Zhao Zongquan and his group in Yuzhou, and hit the emperor's prestige and face.

Although these are errors in etiquette, morality, and process, they cannot directly bring people down.

But Zhao Zongquan's group of confidants kept making mistakes.

It also proves the immaturity of the emperor and indirectly proves the necessity of the queen mother to listen to politics behind the curtain.

The result of Qi Heng's participation this time was that Gu Tingye was reprimanded by the emperor and fined half a year's salary.

"Zicheng, can you go and talk to Yuan Ruo and ask him to stop staring at me all the time."

After going to court, Gu Tingye approached Sheng Changbai, and was tossed hard by Qi Heng.

"Why don't you go talk to him yourself? You are his second uncle."

It didn't take long. When Qi Heng got married for the second time, Gu Tingye ran over to have a wedding banquet.

Only a few months had passed, and the two of them were already acting like enemies in the court.

It cannot be said that the two parties are enemies. Basically, Qi Heng is unilaterally holding on to the people of Yuzhou.

With Qi Heng's character, when doing things, he will not make any mistakes.

The group of people in Yuzhou didn't understand how they could find an opportunity to join Qiheng even if they didn't know how to play in officialdom.

"I have contacted Yuan Ruo, but he has a business-like face and is not humane."

Even if the two have never fought for the same woman, but because the queen mother and the emperor are hostile to each other, the relationship between the two cannot be happy.

"Well, Qi Heng is actually not to blame. You said that if you didn't cause these things, Qi Heng would have no reason to interfere with you. Your family has hundreds of acres of gardens, and there is no place for Mannia to live alone. With your millions in wealth, you don’t have a mouth like that of Manny.”

When Gu Tingye dealt with Mannia, what stood out was his indecisiveness.

Even if you have no feelings and want to drive people out of Bianliang, you can just tie them up and throw them out.

She still insisted on nagging, trying to let Zhu Manniang leave by herself, which caused Zhu Manniang to make a big fuss in the street.

This time it can be said that Gu Tingye has completely embarrassed himself.

Today is different from the past. Gu Tingye is actually a shameless person now.

In the past, Gu Tingye was white, so it didn't matter what reputation he had.

But now Gu Tingye has a third-grade title, No. 1 in the Forbidden Army, and has hundreds of thousands of people under his command.

After occupying a high position, being shameless is definitely out of the question.

"I almost forgot to ask, now that Mannia has returned to Beijing, has she brought her son back to you?"

Sheng Changbai continued to ask.Ever since Gu Tingye's son was taken away by Zhu Manniang, Sheng Changbai had tacitly assumed that he was gone. He asked more questions to see if a miracle had happened.

"It's because she didn't bring Brother Chang back that I wanted to force her to leave and see where she would go. I hope I can find Brother Chang by following her."

"When Mannia doesn't show up, it's normal that you can't find anyone in the huge crowd. But now that she has shown up, can't you find out where she has been in the past few years?"

Now that Zhu Manniang has shown up, it will be easy for Gu Tingye to find out Zhu Manniang's past whereabouts.

How did people get to the capital? By boat or carriage.

With Gu Tingye's current power, anyone looking for clues could easily uncover Zhu Manniang's whereabouts in the past few years.

"I have sent people to check, and now I have only found that she came on the Bai family's boat from Yangzhou."

"The Bai family, Mannia, your stepmother, and all the people who have a grudge against you are all gathered in the capital now. If they get together, it will be lively. Maybe they can really make these people do something. .”

Gu Tingye looked at a very ruthless person. When he went to the battlefield, he was also a decisive person.
But in the face of these enemies who want to harm him, he can't see any decisiveness at all, just like a woman.

Originally, Sheng Changbai didn't want to interfere with Gu Tingye's affairs.

But now these people are causing trouble, causing Gu Tingye to be in trouble and easily affecting the progress of military reform.

Sheng Changbai also gave Gu Tingye some hints.

"Even if all of them were put together, there wouldn't be any trouble."

Gu Tingye didn't take Sheng Changbai's words to heart.

Although the words were a bit arrogant, these people really did not see any big threat to Gu Tingye. It could be said that together they were not enough to fight against Gu Tingye.

All I can do is make small moves behind my back to make people angry.

Gu Tingye doesn't have a wife now, so it can be said that there is no flaw.

"You don't have to worry about me, I can handle it. Zicheng, if you are willing, help me persuade Yuan Ruo to go."

"Okay, I'll try it."

It's still the old rule, if you are with Gu Tingye, just go drinking.

If he asked Qi Heng, he still made an appointment to drink tea in the teahouse.

"Yuan Ruo, when we were studying together at my house, we could never have imagined that at this moment, we would both stand tall in the court and become public officials at the same time."

During this period of time, the private communication between the two of them has been a little less, so we still need to be polite first.

"I didn't expect that you and I could become speech officials at the same time. But when we were studying together, I was convinced that both of us could gain a foothold in the imperial court. Brother Changbai, you took the first step, and now I have caught up .”

Power nourishes people, and Qi Heng has become a lot more confident during this time.

Compared with before the imperial examination, it was a completely different mental state.

"You're just catching up. Now Yuan Ruo, you have surpassed me by a lot, and your official position is far above mine."

"I'm just enjoying the remnants of my family background, and I'm just one step ahead of Brother Zecheng."

After the two of them chatted for a while and drank two cups of tea, Sheng Changbai started to talk:
"Yuan Ruo, I'm here to help people make a case this time. Zhong Huai wants me to help him make a case so that you don't embarrass him too much in the court?"

"When I was in court, I didn't target anyone. I just discussed the matter as it happened."

After entering the court, Qi Heng could be said to have changed.

He can also tell lies with his eyes open, and the sincere Qi Heng has also evolved into a political figure.

"Yuan Ruo, I know you have never spoken nonsense. The evidence for interfering with people in the court has always been conclusive and the words are true. But Zhong Huai is being implicated a little more by you. After all, your two families are still related, so you still Do you want to call him uncle?"
