Chapter 397 Winter is Coming

Unfortunately, halfway through the speech, he realized that it was even more wrong.The Ding family is gone, and there is no one in that yard waiting for the two strangers to go back to eat...

"Let's go!" Qin Rui sighed in his heart, got up and walked out.Qin Quan secretly slapped himself on the mouth, and hurriedly followed out.

The night gradually engulfed the two figures of the master and the servant, leaving a place of desolation.

Winter is coming...

The tallest bell tower in the imperial city, facing the slightly whitish clouds in the sky, suddenly rang, loud and clear, and spread throughout the small half of Kyoto in an instant.

Civil and military officials filed into the palace gate, each with their heads down, some excited, some apprehensive.After a few months of absence, the major court meeting finally started again.

The return of the king, the conscientious and conscientious officials in the past two months, naturally feel at ease, even if they don't get rewards, they will definitely not be criticized by the emperor.But those who had made small movements in the dark were trembling and dragged their bodies forward reluctantly.In particular, the Minister of the Household Department, who requested to increase silver mining in the two memorials yesterday, was pale and dripping with sweat every step of the way.

After all, they were officials in the same dynasty, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that these two were being used as guns.Therefore, almost all court officials sympathized with each other, but the poor people must have something to hate. After all, the emperor was no longer there before, and they presented the memorial with a high-sounding sound. In fact, it was nothing more than forcing the queen to give up the royal share.

Now that I know I'm afraid, it's really too late.

Sure enough, after everyone shouted long live, Gong Zhiming began to deal with the squeezed court affairs neatly, except for occasionally listening to the opinions of a few elders and the prime minister, there was no chance for the courtiers to intervene.

Seeing this, the courtiers kept their mouths shut. Almost everyone inquired about the emperor's disappearance last night. They heard that the emperor was robbed by "acquaintances". To vent.At this time, no matter how much you want to say, you can't take the initiative to hit the gun.

Everyone thinks this way, they are always ready for bitter remonstrance, and the censors who were beaten to death by the emperor to leave their names in history all pretended to be dumb.Thus, for the first time, Donghao's grand court meeting ended smoothly beyond imagination.

Just when everyone exhaled lightly, thinking that the matter was over.But Gong Zhiming said lightly, "I heard that the guards Liu Aiqing and Feng Aiqing are concerned about the country and the people, and they have submitted a memorial requesting to increase the mining of silver mines? I also had this plan at first, but there has been no suitable candidate. Now the two love I am very pleased that Qing took the initiative to relieve my worries. In the future, the two lovers will go to the Dongdao mine to preside over mining matters. When the silver mine is over, I will give you honor to return to your hometown. Of course, the two of you went alone, it was too deserted , I allow you three clans to follow."

Host mining pit mining?Return home after mining the silver mine?The three clans follow?
When the silver mine was first discovered, there were personnel from the Ministry of Industry to calculate that the East Island silver mine was enough to mine for decades.In other words, these two servants will die in the silver mine pit in the future.The relatives of the three clans will also move to the East Island to live with the natives like those wild monkeys...

"The emperor is merciful!"

"Your Majesty, spare your life!"

The two servants were stunned for a while, and finally came to their senses, and immediately lay down on the ground and cried loudly.At this moment, I regretted so much that I wished my intestines were green. Why didn’t I refuse the temptation of those aristocratic families before? For the sake of promotion and money, I thought that the queen mother and son had no emperor to rely on. extreme.

Unexpectedly, the emperor came back at this stall.

Could it be that they will die of old age in the mines without sunlight, and their children and grandchildren will jump up and down with those native monkeys?
"Why, aren't the two lovers willing to share my worries and work for Donghao?" Gong Zhiming's eyes burst out with coldness, and he swept towards the two servants in the center of the hall, making them shiver incessantly.

In many cases, the blisters on the feet go away by themselves, and no matter how painful they are, they have to support themselves, and there is no room for repentance.

"The emperor forgives the sin, the emperor spares my life!"

The two of them still had these two sentences in their mouths, but at the end they kept looking at the civil and military courtiers, and when they found that none of them was ready to intercede for them, the ashes on their faces became even more serious. point.Finally, looking at the culprits, it seems that this matter has nothing to do with them.

The one with the more violent temper among the two had the courage to tell loudly, "Your Majesty, I have an inside story. I did something wrong in a moment of confusion earlier, and I am willing to forgive my sin with my life. I only ask the emperor to forgive me." The whole family of the next official."

Hearing this, the other servant widened his eyes in shock, but then he knocked his head to the ground, and his voice became louder, "Your Majesty, the lower officials have something to tell. I just ask the emperor to spare the old and the young in the lower officials' family!"

The two of them are preparing to confess to the posthumous envoys?
The courtiers were shocked and raised their heads. Although everyone knew that someone must have instigated this matter, otherwise these two servants who came from humble backgrounds and managed to climb up to the high risk would not be so bold to submit a memorial, but now that things have failed, they have to confess. But it was beyond everyone's expectations.After all, the instigator behind the scenes couldn't be a fool. If he didn't catch the two of them, how could he use them as guns?

Sure enough, as soon as the words of the two fell to the ground, a third-rank old censor came out and said, "Your Majesty, these two people are afraid that they don't want to go to the East Island to serve. The current state is like a drowning person encountering driftwood, struggling to hold on." This will definitely disrupt the court. I hope the emperor will issue an order quickly!"

Hearing this, the two servants almost turned red in their eyes. Just when they were about to argue, another civil servant came out and echoed the old censor, "Your Majesty, for the sake of the peace of the court, I hope that the Emperor will come down quickly." Purpose."

While talking, two or three court officials came out to help.

Gong Zhiming glanced at these people coldly, but remained silent.Seeing this, the two censors, how could they miss the opportunity again, and shouted like a cannonball, "Your Majesty, the matter of expanding the silver mining is really not the official's intention. These are the people..."

"Shut up!" Gong Zhiming finally spoke, and everyone raised their hearts to their throats.

"Prime Minister Fang, these two people will be handed over to you for trial with the third division, and they will be heard at any time. Retire!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Prime Minister Fang immediately came out and knelt down to accept the order.

"Retire!" the eunuch Si Li saw the emperor's eyes sweeping towards him, and shouted cleverly at the top of his voice.

The officials immediately knelt down to send them off, and the elders and Prime Minister Fang watched the bright yellow robes sweeping past their eyes, and suddenly felt deeply moved.The emperor, who had just ascended to the Great Treasure earlier, was still cautious and young.Now it is more and more handy to deal with the government affairs, and the emperor's mind is also perfect.

If the two servants had just let the two servants confess the person behind it in court, there would be no room for change in the matter.Now it is handed over to Prime Minister Fang and Sansi, but they can advance and retreat freely. If they want to deal with any family, they just add a sentence to their confessions.If you want to preserve which one, it is just to erase a few words.Moreover, having this incident as a handle is like putting a rope around the necks of all the aristocratic families. If you want to clean up any one, just tighten your hands and it will be over...

The courtiers are not fools, and they will understand the truth after thinking about it.As a result, people who were related to the aristocratic family were thinking about how to clean up after returning home.People who have nothing to do with each other are glad that they have never been tempted by fame and wealth, and become the watchdogs of those aristocratic families...

In Yongfu Palace, it was very lively because of the arrival of the Fang family's family.

The new member of the Fang family, the plump and fat boy Ba Jin, has just passed March and has not yet been born for a hundred days.But he was already promising and very cute, his small arms and legs were as fat as lotus root joints, and the few children he recruited crawled beside him instead of poking them with his fingers.

Ba Jin tilted his head curiously to look at this and that, spitting milk froth or giggling a few times from time to time, causing several children to scramble and poke.

Ba Jin felt a little aggrieved, and turned to look for his mother.It's a pity that his foodie old lady is holding a pig's trotter and gnawing on it, her hands and mouth are greasy, and she can't help complaining, "Sister Ding, can you lend me your Xiaoqing for a few days? Our house All the cooks on board obviously learned their skills from you, but they can’t make this taste. I’m going to starve to death, and I want to run to the palace every day.”

Before Ding Wei could speak, Mrs. Fang gave her daughter-in-law a reproachful look, "What are you talking about, when did the family run out of food for you? Besides, the empress still has two little princes in her belly, and the prince and the others are so young. , you want to leave the manpower, what will the empress do? Xiaoqing is also pregnant?"

Chu Qixi stuck out her tongue with a smirk, then lowered her head and continued to struggle with the trotter in her hand.

Ding Wei smiled and raised her hand to pour her tea, "Drink some tea to get rid of the greasy, it is best to drink breast milk before Bajin is half a year old. Because there is something in breast milk that can make Bajin grow better and not get sick. You And don’t be afraid of getting fat, when Bajin grows up, you can lose it back.”

Chu Qixi squeezed her double chin, turned her head and looked at Fang Xin who was sitting by the table with a smile, "It's okay, my husband said that I am fat and hug me comfortably."

These words are really a bit out of line, after all, they are private words in the boudoir.Everyone covered their mouths and laughed non-stop, Chu Qixi finally sensed something was wrong, and hurried to remedy it, "I mean, I'm not afraid of getting fat, and my husband doesn't dislike it. Oh, no, it's not good for me to lose weight."

It's a pity that the more she explained, the more chaotic she became, which made everyone laugh even more.Fang Xin's face was as red as Guan Gong's. At this time, Gong Zhiming stepped in and walked in. Fang Xin felt that he was sober, and he didn't care if everyone hadn't saluted, so he dragged him out.

Gong Zhiming had listened to the general idea outside, and now he couldn't help joking, "Where are you going in a hurry, I haven't heard the excitement yet!"

Fang Xin's face became more and more red, and he dragged him out to the study next door.This place is mostly where Ding Wei reads the account books or writes letters on weekdays, but the layout is very elegant and comfortable.

Dang Gui followed, held back a smile, had some tea and snacks, and hurried back to the main hall.There were two friends and brothers who hadn't seen each other for many days, and they didn't know what to say to each other for a while.
