Fengmou Jiangshan

Chapter 171 One stone stirs up a thousand waves
Night Breeze unfolded it, and couldn't help but feel happy. He raised his eyelids and glanced at Gu Qinghua quietly.

Gu Qinghua smirked and said: "Don't make bad ideas, you can see the date of signing clearly."

Night Breeze subconsciously looked at the signing date, and couldn't help but pause when he looked at it. He raised his head and stared at Gu Qinghua with fiery eyes, and said, "You—you—" Today is the fifth day of October in the seventh year of Zhaoning, and the signing date will be divided It is clearly written on the fourth day of October in the tenth year of Zhaoning.For three full years, not more than one day, not less than one day.She is very calculating!
"For three whole years, not too many days, not too many days!" Gu Qinghua laughed, then his eyes dimmed, and he sighed softly: "Xiang Lin and I are brothers and sisters, she is in a bad mood and wants to go out of the palace to dispatch, I have no choice but to let her go! Three years is not short, but it is not long, if you really hold the extremely important handle in the hands of the prince brother, it should be worth it to use these three years to exchange, right?"

"Really, only three years?" Night Breeze didn't believe it, she was scheming, and it's not like he hadn't seen her before.

"My autographed letter has already been handed over to you. If you still don't believe me, I have nothing to say." Gu Qinghua didn't give him any guarantee or explanation.She believes that even if she promises, people will not believe it!

Night Breeze murmured, his eyes flickering constantly, and his face was cloudy and sunny, which showed how fierce the battle between heaven and man was in his heart.

Gu Qinghua didn't urge him, and leaned back on the chair comfortably, took the tea bowl and drank tea gently.But she couldn't help but sigh in her heart: Sure enough, people can't be judged by their appearances!I didn't expect that a gentle and affectionate man like Fan Qiying would have such a ruthless method to toss an arrogant Night Breeze like this!Also use this kind of dirty trick!
"Okay, I promise you!" Ye Feng raised his head, his sword eyebrows were bright, and proudly said to Gu Qinghua: "I hope His Majesty will keep his promise, otherwise, even if the humble position is lost, he will never be deceived in vain!"

"Okay!" Gu Qinghua smiled with crooked eyebrows, "I believe you will protect Xianglin's safety, if I deceive you, at worst you sneak into the palace and kill me with a sword!"

Gu Qinghua said it in a nonchalant manner, which made Night Breeze startled, and stared at her with wide eyes in disbelief.

"Go down and get ready. After three days, I will send someone to take you out of the palace." Gu Qinghua said, handing Ye Feng a stack of banknotes and a bag of gold leaves, pearls, gemstones, cat's eyes and other jewelry Up: "Take these, I don't want Xianglin to suffer."

Night Breeze looked at her, his deep eyes were bottomless.He took the things without any hesitation, put them into his arms, turned around and said indifferently: "Go back to your humble post and wait for His Majesty's order!"

"Go! I hope you and I can achieve each other's goals." Gu Qinghua said lightly.

"Thanks to Your Majesty!" Night Breeze hurried away without looking back.

Three days later, Xianglin just left the palace.Gu Qinghua climbed up to the tall turret near the palace gate, stared blankly at the carriage fading away and disappeared into the crowd, and sighed deeply.The world is always so impermanent. The original ally suddenly changed his mind. Instead, he was the original chess piece, who was gentle and accompanied all the way.

Seeing that it is already November, ports such as Ruluoxia in southern Xinjiang have already been built, and there are many fleets in Nanyang and other nearby places for business. Gradually, it regained its vitality, and the population gradually prospered.Businesses from all over the country competed to open branches there, and giant merchants brought their special products and goods from all over the place, which drove all kinds of local industries that were waiting to be developed. .

Ancient Qinghua also decreed that all taxes in Dongnan County, Runan County, and Nanyang County in Nanjiang this year should only be turned over one-third to the imperial court, and the remaining two-thirds should be used for local construction, such as building bridges and paving roads, renovating markets, building temples, The officials and people in southern Xinjiang are all grateful for the construction of schools, the construction of nursing homes for the elderly, the regular supply of free medicines for the poor, and so on, and praise Your Majesty for your wisdom!Even the pirates who surrendered, also received a lot of heart because of the respect in their hearts.

From then on, southern Xinjiang was settled and peaceful.

Unexpectedly, just half a month after November, when every family in Zhaifeng City was already thinking about the Chinese New Year, something happened that shook the dark and turbulent court to the point of overturning the sky!
The cause was a memorial handed over by Shen Liulian.

As the emperor's teacher, Shen Liulian is also in charge of shipping matters, so he has the right to directly report.

In his memorial, he mercilessly impeached Fan Shiming, the governor of the three provinces in southern Xinjiang, for various crimes, including embezzling huge sums of money, killing people, colluding with profiteers for personal gain, and appointing relatives to control the local economy.Shen Liulian was originally talented in literature and quick in thinking, and his full of righteous indignation inspired all his creative potential. This memorial of more than 4 characters was written vividly, coherently, citing classics, and sincerely, which made people cry. Shocking, outraged.

The arrival of this memorial was like throwing a boulder into the calm water, causing huge waves to rise immediately!
Because Governor Fan Shiming Fan is one of the three most trusted confidants of Mu Hongru, the king of Cheng'en County, and the mainstay of the Mu Party.

Fan Shiming's wife is the sister-in-law of the current patriarch of the Zhaojun Wang family, one of the four major families. His mother is from Wandudu's family in the Lushan Military Camp in the south of the Yangtze River, and she is Wandudu's older sister.It can be said that the relationship between these people is criss-crossed and intertwined, and they belong to the type that pulling out a carrot can bring out a pit of mud!
Now, Fan Shiming's radish has been pulled out by the upright Shen Liulian. There is no doubt that if the investigation continues, a pit of mud will also surface.

How many officials dare to say that they are innocent?The radish is not innocent, and neither is the mud!
Shen Liulian is the emperor's teacher, a figure that Gu Qinghua relied heavily on.When the whole court, including the local officials, focused their attention on this huge case, they naturally couldn't help guessing whether there was Gu Qinghua's intention behind it.

Gu Qinghua sighed, secretly complaining.Only she and Su Jun were clear about it, and she didn't mean anything here.

Even, she didn't want this to happen!
At this extraordinary moment when the two sides are calm on the surface and turbulent in the dark, a small stone can generate huge waves, let alone a huge rock.

But now, it's not time for a decisive battle, absolutely not.

Shen Liulian threw an extremely hot potato to Gu Qinghua.

Gu Qinghua was so anxious that he couldn't eat or sleep well, and his mind was full of this dilemma.The evidence of Fan Shiming's crime is conclusive, and it has become known to all. The imperial court must come up with a charter as soon as possible.

After much deliberation, the only way to suspend the situation is to pretend to be sick.

Gu Qinghua pretended to be sick without hesitation, handed Shen Liulian's memorial to the Ministry's meeting office, and ordered the prince to preside over the meeting.

Mu Hongru, the king of Cheng'en County, also had a tacit understanding of being sick and shut the door, and none of them disappeared.

Prince Li deeply understood Gu Qinghua's intentions, so he sent several ministers who were clear, resolute, upright and not afraid of death to attend the meeting.As a result, all the officials who attended the meeting were humming and ambiguous officials. Facing this embarrassing book that was hot to the touch, they couldn't reach a conclusion after three days of discussion.

Five days in a row have passed, and the people have already made a fuss about this matter, and it can't be delayed any longer!

That night, Su Jun came back from the palace very late, and Gu Qinghua announced it as soon as he returned to the palace.

"What the hell is Taifu Shen doing! Fan Shiming deserves to die, but not now!" Gu Qinghua's eyes turned red with anxiety.

Su Jun couldn't help but sighed softly, as long as he comforted her with gentle words: "This is the end of the matter, please be at ease, Your Majesty! Taifu Shen is upright and can't rub the sand in his eyes. Since he has found out such things, how can he hide it and not report it?" ?”

"It's my negligence!" Gu Qinghua sighed wearily, closed his eyes and supported his forehead, and said, "I should have told him earlier! Oh, what's the use of saying this now? Su Jun, tell me, what should I do?" !"

Su Jun was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "The matter has come to this point, Fan Shiming must be killed! If he does not kill, it will not be enough to anger the common people, and it will also affect His Majesty's reputation."

"But," Gu Qinghua stared blankly at the front, swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty, "If you kill Fan Shiming, Mu Hongru will definitely turn against you!"

Fan Shiming is his backbone in the local area. As the emperor's teacher, Shen Liulian pulled out Fan Shiming. Mu Hongru definitely thinks that this is Gu Qinghua's intention. He will not sit still and jump over the wall!
"Forget it! We may not, we have no chance of winning." Su Jun gently held her hand, although his voice was soft, the firmness in his eyes made Gu Qinghua's heart inexplicably at ease.

"Su Jun," Gu Qinghua let him hold his hands tightly, using the warmth of his palms to make his trembling heart return to normal bit by bit.Even if his words were just a word of consolation, it was better than nothing!
"The minister is telling the truth, Your Majesty." Su Jun looked at her and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has already found out about Feng Shifu."

Gu Qinghua's eyes lit up, staring at him blankly, waiting for his next words.

"Your father, he saw Feng Shifu in the northern border, didn't he?" Gu Qinghua was furious and shook his hand vigorously: "You can't find this news today, right? Su Jun ?”

Su Jun's voice seemed very difficult, as if he had fallen into a swamp, struggling, enduring, and finally said in a low voice: "He, his real name is Xue Shaofu, and my father—is a child..."

Gu Qinghua's eyes suddenly jumped, and the eyes were full of light. She opened her eyes wide and stared at Su Jun: "What did you say? Say it again?" Her voice was so light that she didn't even recognize herself. , The whole body passed through a kind of shuddering numbness in an instant, the numbness that went deep into the soul.

Feng Shifu, and General Su, are they young?It's Fa Xiao!What a big joke!

One is her minister, and the other is Mu Hongru's confidant and aide who relies heavily on him. They actually still have such a relationship!
