Fengmou Jiangshan

Chapter 118

King Yizheng had to stop to greet him.

King Lijun had seen him a long time ago, he quickly lowered his head to see if there was anything wrong with his clothes, and then straightened the fine wrinkles, then swept away the downcast just now, put on a smiling face and walked towards King Yizheng.

"Is the king of politics going to meet the saint?" After exchanging pleasantries, Prince Li asked with a smile on his face.

"Yes!" King Yizheng nodded, glanced at the folder in his hand, and said, "I have something to ask His Majesty for orders!"

King Li glanced at the cover of the booklet, and said with a smile, "Is this a booklet from the Ministry of Household Affairs?"

King Yizheng had no choice but to nod again, and said, "Yes, Jizhou County is suffering from drought, and spring plowing is imminent, so there is no delay."

King Li couldn't help laughing after hearing this, and said: "There are old rules over the years for such trivial matters. Your Majesty has an agenda, and the king of politics can make up his own mind. Why do you need to ask His Majesty for instructions?"

King Yizheng was originally very impatient to be pestered by him, but at this moment he unconsciously paid attention.

King Lijun seems to talk a lot. He who never asks about the government and makes the government like a tiger, why is he acting uncharacteristically today?The king of political affairs took a closer look, only to find that the king of Lijun was wearing a brown and yellow embroidered four-clawed python and a jade belt around his waist.

"The king of the county is also—asking to see His Majesty?" the King of Political Affairs couldn't help asking.

King Lijun was dejected, forced a smile, leaned closer to him, and said with a wry smile in a low voice: "No, I was just reprimanded by His Majesty, and said, cough, that this king--doesn't want to make progress! Alas , this king is an old bone, if he was in a common people's house, he would have been spoiled at home long ago, so why are you thinking about making progress! This king is getting more and more ignorant of your majesty's thoughts!"

King Lijun sighed and sighed endlessly while talking about his own suffering.

A sneering smile appeared from the corner of the king's mouth, and he comforted the king of Lijun lightly: "Your Majesty is going to use the royal family now. You are a person who has been in the court for a long time, so naturally you should set a good example! Your Majesty, this is also the case." For your own good! Otherwise, in the future, if the younger generation will achieve ambition, as the Zong Ling, you will not be able to compare with others, how can you be suitable?"

King Yizheng was secretly amused, so he said, why did this person suddenly become interested in the notebook in his hand?I see!Hmph, that girl Gu Qinghua may have misjudged the person, and she still wants to use this kind of person to divide his power, it's really funny!

King Lijun smiled wryly, and sighed: "It seems that this king should abdicate and make way for the virtuous!"

The king of politics couldn't help laughing, and despised his cowardly and avoiding character even more in his heart. He reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "The county king is old and strong, how can your majesty let you go so easily? Let's serve the country for a few more years with peace of mind." Right!" He thought for a while, then asked casually, "Did you just see Your Majesty?"

King Lijun looked back at him strangely, his eyes darkened, and he smiled unnaturally and said, "If I hadn't seen it, how could I have been scolded so much? Prince Yizheng, according to this king, don't you just don't do it right now." Go, Your Majesty is so angry! Besides, you won’t be able to see you when you go, and Your Majesty has gone to listen to Taifu Shen’s lecture again, thanks to Taifu Shen’s rescue, otherwise, this king would not know—haha!”

The King of Political Affairs couldn't help becoming suspicious, he secretly paid attention to the sluggish expression of the Prince of Lijun, and then thought about Gu Qinghua's temper, he nodded and smiled: "That's right, this matter is handled according to the old rules, as a Your servant, you should share your worries for the king!"

Saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled, and turned around together.

King Yizheng believed that such a temperamental person as Prince Li would not have the guts to deceive him, he was always as slippery as a loach, even if Gu Qinghua threatened and lured him, he might not be willing to obey orders obediently.Because he knew very well that if he dared to deceive himself like this, after the incident, he would have plenty of means to deal with him, even if Gu Qinghua wanted to cover him, it would be useless!

What's more, Shen Liulian is also in Yuhua Palace.Shen Liulian's attitude towards himself was the same as before, he believed that he would not lie to himself.Coupled with the information sent by the adopted son Mu Tiannan and the inquiry from the princess, the doubts in the king's heart finally dissipated bit by bit.

Xianglin and Aunt Su passed the day in fear but without any danger.

That night, Gu Qinghua, Su Jun and his party finally came back quietly.

When Xianglin saw Gu Qinghua, she immediately felt her whole body loosen as if all her bones were falling apart. She quickly rushed to grab Gu Qinghua's arm, and couldn't help holding Gu Qinghua's arm tightly: "Your Majesty, you are back! If you don't come back again, slave girl We can't stand it anymore!"

"Is the King of Political Affairs here looking for trouble?" Gu Qinghua asked as he walked in.

"It's a long story, let me tell you more slowly. Fortunately, there is no danger. When His Majesty comes back, everything will be over!" Xiang Lin smiled and asked: "Is your majesty going well?"

Gu Qinghua nodded, and said with a smile: "Everything is fine!" She looked at Xianglin, then at Aunt Su, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work these three days!"

Xianglin and Aunt Su shook their heads, and said: "There is no comparison with your Majesty for what you do, and it's the hard work outside!"

"Let's talk about it tomorrow," Su Jun, who had been silent all this time, smiled, and said, "It's getting late, Your Majesty should take a good rest. Starting tomorrow, I'm afraid you'll be even busier!"

Xianglin and Aunt Su came back to their senses, and hurriedly agreed, Aunt Su ordered hot water to be prepared for bathing, and ordered the small kitchen to prepare some hot soup, porridge and snacks for supper.

Su Jun bowed his hands to Gu Qinghua, bowed his head slightly, and said, "Your Majesty is resting, and I will take my leave."

Gu Qinghua hesitated to speak, nodded after thinking for a while, and said with a smile: "Tomorrow, I will summon Taifu Shen to talk, you can come too!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Su Jun responded.After finishing speaking, he glanced at Gu Qinghua, turned around and exited.

"Wait!" Gu Qinghua suddenly stopped him again.

Su Jun stopped, turned around slowly and said, "What other orders does Your Majesty have?"

Gu Qinghua was a little puzzled, the closer she got to Lizhou City, Su Jun's complexion became worse and worse, she just remembered that Su Jun hardly said anything along the way!

He seemed—was angry.

No matter how confused Gu Qinghua was, she understood that among the seven people in the company, she was the only one who dared to make Su Jun angry.At this time, I want to ask him, but I feel that it is inconvenient for someone to be there, and she is also very tired, and there are more important things to do tomorrow, so I have to sort out my thoughts at night, so I decided to send Su Let's not mention Jun's matter for now!

"It's nothing, you go back first, let's talk about it tomorrow!" Gu Qinghua turned his eyes lightly and glanced at him.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Su Jun agreed lightly, turned and left Yuhua Palace.

After waking up the next day, while the maid combing Gu Qinghua's hair, Xianglin succinctly told the story of the three-day deliberative king's repeated visits, and then said that yesterday morning, the deliberative king was already aggressive They broke into the palace, but they happened to meet Prince Li who came to ask An to go back. The two of them didn't know what they said, and they went back together.

Gu Qinghua couldn't help being surprised when he heard this, and said, "Prince Lijun? That is to say, the king of political affairs originally wanted to break into Yuhua Palace to force you, but in the end he was persuaded by King Lijun?"

"Eh?" Xianglin choked suddenly, and she also felt that the matter was too absurd and unbelievable, so she hesitated for a while and said, "Well, this slave girl can't say well, but it is true that the two of them turned back together. of!"

"What the hell is King Lijun doing?" Gu Qinghua couldn't help frowning, thought for a while, suppressed the doubts in his heart, and said: "Forget it, I don't want him for the time being! Anyway, I have returned safely, and the King of Political Affairs just wants to play tricks It's too late!"

"That's true!" Xianglin smiled, and said with some lingering fears: "Your Majesty, this is the only time and the last time you promised your servant, you must keep your word!"

"I know!" Gu Qinghua gave her a smirk, and said, "If it wasn't for the emergency, I wouldn't be like this!"

While talking, I have finished grooming, Aunt Su has prepared meals, Gu Qinghua had eaten, enjoyed flowers in front of Yuhua Palace for a while, and took a walk, then ordered Shen Liulian to meet with Su Jun, and sent Liu Zhongming Take the manuscripts of these few days' memorials to Yuhua Palace.

After a while, Shen Liulian and Su Jun arrived one after another. Shen Liulian was very excited to see them returning safely, and stepped forward to kneel down to Gu Qinghua and bowed his head: "Your Majesty has worked hard all the way! Heart!"

"Teacher Shen, please get up quickly," Gu Qinghua sat on the throne, waved his hands, and said with a smile, "Thanks to the help of the Taifu, my trip can go so smoothly. This is all thanks to the Taifu! In other words, if this matter can be resolved satisfactorily, I will be worthy of the people of this side!"

Gu Qinghua's trip with Su Jun this time was not impulsive, let alone a whim, but a well-planned and well-planned trip with Shen Liulian.

Since receiving the secret report from Shen Liulian years ago, Gu Qinghua and Shen Liulian have not broken contact. How to deal with the pirates in southern Xinjiang has been discussed many times between letters and letters.

When Shen Liulian came to Qingyuan County to be the magistrate, he would naturally know about pirates. Although he had read sage books all his life, he was not really pedantic, but very pragmatic.

After personally investigating, I found that the pirates are actually very pitiful.In fact, many pirates are not vicious and vicious in the true sense, but joined because of the prohibition of the sea and being forced to take risks because they could not survive the day.In essence, this is the same reason as the government's coercion against the people.

Shen Liulian heard from local old people and businessmen from other places about the prosperity and stability here before the sea ban was issued more than 20 years ago. He felt uneasy, and subconsciously began to wonder whether the implementation of the sea ban was correct.

For him, the transformation process was an extremely painful process, but after a long period of suffering and spiritual struggle, he finally accepted and faced the reality, and began to seek a solution.

When he was hesitating whether to report to Gu Qinghua, he inadvertently learned that Lizhou Zhangzhifu jointly signed officials, local gentry and celebrities to write to His Majesty, requesting the imperial court to send troops to kill pirates, he finally couldn't sit still anymore.He knew that the killing would not solve the problem but would make the already bad situation worse, so he gritted his teeth and wrote a secret report to Gu Qinghua, listing the facts that a large number of good people were forced to go to sea to become pirates, and asked Gu Qinghua Tsinghua is proceeding cautiously.

At that time, he did not dare to mention the abolition of the sea ban, but only described to Gu Qinghua the happiness and prosperity he heard here more than 20 years ago, and asked for directions to see if Gu Qinghua would respond appropriately.

Unexpectedly, Gu Qinghua's reaction to him was far beyond his expectations. Instead, she said the things he dared not say easily, and ordered him to secretly investigate the truth behind the pirates disturbing the people, and try to find out the truth about the pirates. .

This is what he has been doing all the time, and he has already had some clues. Now that he has the support of Gu Qinghua, he has more confidence, and finally let him find out the details of Wang Hairong, the pirate leader of Chong'an Island who is the most powerful offshore, together with Wang Hairong. My father and younger brother were also found out.

Shen Liulian didn't dare to move easily because he was afraid of making trouble, but ordered people to secretly monitor and protect the Wang family father and son.

Mr. Wang is an old scholar who has been down and out all his life. He met Shen Liulian and talked about everything. He soon regarded him as a bosom friend.When he was drunk once, Mr. Wang, who was depressed and ashamed of his eldest son who went out to sea as a thief, accidentally slipped his mouth. Although he quickly changed the subject vigilantly, Shen lingered back and forth to deduce, and he still guessed something. The truth is that Wang Hairong wanted to take his father and younger brother to sea together but was rejected by his father.

Shen Liulian was taken aback. He knew that this matter could not be delayed any longer. If Wang Hairong talked to the old man of the Wang family one day, he would lose a lot of help in thinking about peace talks in the future, so he immediately wrote a book for Gu Qinghua.

Gu Qinghua was also in a hurry, pretending that he would make a southern tour in March, not allowing the Ministry of Rites and Industry to delay for half a day to go south as scheduled and come to Lizhou.

The reason why Shen Liulian came to see him late was not to practice Taoism in seclusion, but to quietly pick up the old man Wang's family under the order of Gu Qinghua. In the past two years, he often used the excuse of visiting famous mountain Taoists to facilitate his private visits. It takes 30 days to go out once you leave the government office.

He is an emperor's teacher, and his status is there, so the boss can't take care of him, just turn a blind eye and let him go, anyway, the official duties in the county will be fine without delay!Even if it's delayed, he doesn't have to worry about it, just send him to His Majesty, it's very simple!
After Shen Liulian brought the old man of the Wang family to Lizhou, Gu Qinghua ordered Xianglin and Yu Linjun to quietly arrange for them to enter the palace and place them in a remote courtyard in the palace.

In the palace, Gu Qinghua first summoned Mr. Wang and his son. Mr. Wang had failed many times after being selected as a scholar. Now he has buried most of his body in the loess, and he has long lost the ambition of the past.He never dreamed that he would be lucky enough to see Tianyan in this life, needless to say the excitement and excitement, his whole body was trembling, his face was glowing and tears were streaming down his face, and he stuttered for a long time.

Mr. Wang listened to Gu Qinghua's reason for summoning him, and he agreed on the spot without saying a word, but his youngest son, Wang Haimu, was a little hesitant, worried that the imperial court wanted to use them to trick his elder brother to come here and behead his head to show the public. Although he didn't say anything Come out, that hesitant face said it all.
