Chapter 132 The Queen's Thoughts 2
Chongming Hall.

Xiao Qi held a booklet in his hand, and the more he read it, the more he frowned. After thinking for a while, he wrote a review. After the review, he felt that something was inappropriate, so he picked up the pen and added a few more sentences.Putting down the pen, Xiao Qi moved his wrist, but kept frowning.Su Xingyu was going to go to the No. [-] spot, but he didn't want the No. [-] pick. Although he wouldn't let him go, Su Xingyu didn't even mention it. Did he guess what his next plan was, or did he not like Qin Yuchuan?

He heard that Qin Yuchuan personally visited Su Xingyu.

He admires Qin Yuchuan very much. He has something to say, a calm temperament, and a cautious approach. It is an excellent idea to place him in the Six Departments for rotation.Not only can he inquire about the news for himself, but he can also secretly grasp the movements of the six masters, so he will take the initiative more.

However, how to arrange it needs to be carefully considered, not to mention Xiao Qi doesn't know if it is his own illusion, he always feels that the champion he has hand-picked has a strange look in his eyes.But when he looked at it again, he felt normal again. After going back and forth a few times like this, he couldn't help but wonder if he himself was a little abnormal.

Guan Changan walked in quietly carrying the food box, looked up at the emperor sitting there frowning, and became more and more cautious.Walking to the table, he said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Master Xi brought the soup."

Hearing this, Xiao Qi glanced sideways at Guan Chang'an, and saw that he was holding a food box with a red lacquer pattern in his hand, thought for a while before saying: "Bring it here."

Guan Changan lifted the food box onto the small table, opened the lid, and brought out the soup cup inside.The soup was full of fresh ingredients and rich in aroma. He took out a small bowl to fill a bowl, put his hands on the imperial case, and took a step back with a bow.

Xiao Qi lowered his head and glanced, it wasn't the sweet soup that he was relieved first, there was a time when Si Jin liked to drink sweet soup very much.It's fine if I like to drink it, but I thought he would like it too. The soup she sent in different ways would disappoint her if I didn't drink it, so I would embarrass myself by drinking it.Picking up the soup bowl and holding the spoon to take a few sips, seeing Guan Changan's embarrassed look, he asked, "What's the matter?"

Guan Chang'an thought about it for a while, and then said: "The servant heard that the empress intends to hold a big wedding banquet for Master Xi."

Xiao Qi frowned slightly, and looked at Guan Chang'an again.

Guan Changan's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly continued: "Master Xi doesn't seem to be happy to do this."

After listening to these words, Xiao Qi knew where the news came from, and glanced at Guan Changan, "How about the matter I asked you to investigate this morning?"

"If you go back to the emperor, the slave is useless. When the empress talked to the concubine, there was no one in the hall, so I didn't find out anything." When the imperial concubine left, her expression was calm, showing no signs of anger. There was no change in the Changle Palace today, but the empress said that the front hall of the Changle Palace had been repaired and there was no need to collect evidence. The imperial concubine could bring Princess Yuzhen to move. Back to the main hall."

Xiao Qi drank the soup in the bowl one by one, put down the bowl and spoon, took out the handkerchief to wipe the corners of his lips, and then said: "Is there any movement in the inner court?"

"Sizheng has interrogated many palace officials these days to check what happened that day, but there is no evidence to find out whether it was an accident or a murder, so there is no conclusion yet." Guan Chang'an's forehead was about to break out in cold sweat. The Si Zheng of the mansion did not behave properly, because he did not want to offend the queen and concubine in the harem, and wanted to please both sides, probably because he felt that Xi Wanyi's status was low, and whether she had the support of a powerful natal family, even if she had a bit of favor from the emperor , but the color is just right now.Anyway, the emperor ordered strict investigation, so could it be possible to ignore the empress and noble concubine's face?
Therefore, Si Zheng probably wanted to please the queen and concubine, so he could only wrong Xi Wanyi.If it's normal, it's nothing, the company's calculations are in place and it's time to pay the bill. Now, huh, huh, some wax for this short-sighted person!I don't even look at Xi Wanyi's father and brother being valued by the emperor, it is Xi Wanyi herself... Guan Chang'an sighed, even the noble concubine did not let the emperor care so much back then.

"You give Gan Kuo a word, he can come up." Xiao Qi said without changing his expression.

Guan Chang'an's expression didn't change, he bowed and saluted, "Yes, I'll do it now, slave."

On the second day, everyone in the whole palace got the news that Wang Ying, the Minister of the Inner Court, had committed a crime. She became immoral after drinking and wanted to force a maid to have sex with her, but the maid couldn't resist and bumped her head against the wall.Fortunately, he was discovered by someone, so he was able to save a life, but he exhaled more and inhaled less, so I don't know if he can hold on.This matter caused a lot of trouble. Hearing that the emperor was furious, he immediately dismissed Wang Ying's position and acted as usual, ordering his deputy Gan Kuo to take over the position of Si Zheng.

Secretary Zhengsi.

Gan Kuo has a square face, slightly dark complexion, and a face that always carries a slight smile. At this time, he looked at the palace maid whose head was covered with a white cloth oozing blood, and said with a smile: "You did a good job in this matter. Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you, and when the palace servants leave the palace this year, your name will be on the roster."

The maid's face was pale, with a big smile on the corner of her mouth, she seemed to let out a long sigh of relief, and said, "Thank you, my lord."

"You don't have to thank me. From today onwards, you will be in the position of the chief secretary first. If you have nothing to do, don't go out to attract people's attention." Gan Kuo whispered, then Wang Ying is not a good person. If you want to understand that you have been designed , the life of this court lady may not be guaranteed.

"Your Excellency, don't worry. Master Wang really has something wrong with your slaves. It's just that your slaves have always been cautious in their words and deeds and he didn't catch the opportunity. Yesterday, your slaves were just pushing the boat along with the flow, and just hoped that the adults would keep their word."

Gan Kuo looked at the pretty face of the court lady, and nodded slightly, "It's so, it's better." Wang Ying was lustful, so he took advantage of this to pull him down.The palace maid had already reached the age to leave the palace, but Wang Ying kept holding her, so she had no choice but to beg him, and the two made a deal. Unexpectedly, the palace maid was also a man with a plan. It would be even better to know how to deal with the aftermath for yourself, so that you can worry-free.

After Gan Kuo left, the court lady looked up at the ceiling, her pale face was slightly blue.Wang Ying is old and not shy. She has a lot of wives and concubines at home, and she wants her to be his concubine. He is old enough to be her father, so how could she commit herself willingly.The sky is endless, and when she meets Mrs. Gan, she just needs to wait until she leaves the palace. She sighed for a long time, and then closed her eyes and went to sleep.In her hometown, her parents and younger brothers are all looking forward to her return home, and she wants to go back alive. The last time her mother sent a letter, she said that Brother Xiaowu next door is still waiting for her...

Wang Ying has always been smooth and slick, and is rarely caught. She didn't expect to lose control after drinking for a while, which made a big mistake.I was demoted and went home to be used. Even if I was upset, I could only wait for the time to recover.Gan Kuo has been with Wang Ying as a deputy for five or six years. He is a person who always speaks with a smile. He is always kind to others and has a very good reputation.This time, he was lucky enough to become a full-time member all of a sudden. I don't know how many people envy him.In view of the emperor's habit of taking down his superiors when he made a mistake and taking over his deputy, the deputy position in the palace has also become very popular.Because of this, the relationship between the principal and the deputy has also become very subtle. From the previous one of collusion and collusion, to guarding against each other and working independently, the situation of the inner court has been abruptly changed into another situation.

Others only acted as emperor to save trouble, so they took the deputy position as the main one, but Si Jin knew that this was definitely not the case.With Xiao Qi's scheming, I'm afraid that he has trained these assistants for many years, and he has already placed them where he wants them to take without anyone noticing.Because these people had low and inconspicuous official positions when they entered the job before, and they got up step by step through seniority and hard work, so no one had the slightest doubt.

For example, Gan Kuo, who has been in the Sizheng Division for five or six years, was just a handyman before, but because of Wang Ying's appreciation, he has gradually reached the position of deputy over the years.After hearing that Wang Ying was dismissed from office, Gan Kuo accepted his post and even went to visit his house specially.Si Jin didn't dare to confirm that Gan Kuo belonged to Xiao Qi before, but he still took charge of the case of her being injured when he came up, and his methods were quite different from Wang Ying's.Wang Ying acted swiftly and resolutely, showing no mercy at all, but he was cunning and cunning, only looking for his own profit.Gan Kuo is completely different. He looks like a miller with a smile, and he is amiable, but when he does things, he is courageous and courageous, without delay.All pleaders will be turned away.Where there is any ambiguity in the case file, it will be retried without letting go.

Si Zheng was replaced, Si Jin was injured by a retrial, and for a while there was a lot of turmoil in the palace.The queen chose Gan Kuo, but Gan Kuo didn't know what to say, and Gan Kuo was uncompromising. He was almost beaten by the queen, but he walked out of Fenghuan Palace with his neck stuck.

All of a sudden, the rumors that the newly appointed Lord Si Zheng was a stickler became more and more popular.Some people even joked that it's no wonder Wang Ying used him so much. Doesn't using such a stupid person highlight his brilliance and prowess?
Because this matter made the Queen very angry, there was no news about Si Jin and Ji Li from Fenghuan Palace, so Si Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief.When she delivered the letter to Xiao Qi at the beginning, it was because she couldn't directly refuse the banquet in front of the empress, and the empress would of course be angry if she was kind enough to be fooled.Turning the corner and asking Xiao Qi to help, she also thought about what means he would use to negotiate with the queen, but she didn't expect that he didn't confront the queen at all, and turned the corner to take down Wang Ying, who was not doing business, and only used a willing Kuo's reckless behavior made the queen fall backwards in anger, and there was nothing she could do to care about her.

However, the queen is so taboo about the truth, could it be said that the matter of being smashed was the queen's handwriting?
Si Jin didn't believe it. After all, she was picked up by the queen to fight for the noble concubine. She was "obedient" and "well-behaved", and never "disobeyed" the queen's words. The queen would not want to abandon her as a pawn so early.But the empress is obviously protecting the person who did the trick. I think this person must be of value to the empress. Who is it?
