Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 269 Liu Qi Enters Beijing
Liu Qi just laughed at the crowd's ostracism, and he felt a sense of tranquility every day, as if he had seen through the coldness of the world.It's just that the sound of horseshoes broke the silence of the Nanjing household department this day. A group of people came to the Nanjing household department's yamen. This group of people was very eye-catching, because they wore black armor and looked full of murderous looks.

The horses stopped in front of the yamen of the household department, the leader raised his hand lightly, and the people behind all got off their horses with a clatter, and their movements were uniform.

The people who saw this scene were all shocked. Obviously, these people are all elites, and they are very scary.

The leader slowly got off his horse, turned around and walked into the yamen of the household department, followed by two people who came up directly behind him.The gatekeepers of the household department's yamen hurried up and stopped the person in front of him. Although the person was full of murderous intent, they didn't dare to let anyone in casually. That would be a great crime.

The man in black armor directly took out a token, showed it to the gatekeeper, and then said, "Zhang He, a thousand households of the Black Dragon Guard under the Prince of Donggong, came to deliver the decree."

The gatekeeper was taken aback for a moment, and then he ran in alone, and the others didn't dare to stop him, allowing Zhang He to lead the people in.

Soon the Household Department became chaotic, and countless people came out, including the Nanjing Household Minister, but Zhang Yun was too lazy to talk nonsense with these people, so he took out the imperial edict, raised one hand and said: "Nanjing Household Department Where is Mr. Liu Qi, the servant on the right?"

Everyone was taken aback, did they come to see Liu Qi?Is this decree for Liu Qi?Could it be that they came to capture Liu Qi?

Judging by the appearance of these people, they are obviously soldiers, and this posture is obviously elite. If they come down, if they say that they are not arresting or killing people, then no one will believe it.But no one dared to neglect, someone soon found Liu Qi.When he came to the scene, Liu Qi quickly knelt down on the ground: "My minister, Liu Qi, the servant of the Nanjing household department, accepts the order."

Zhang Yun glanced at Liu Qi who was kneeling on the ground, stretched out his hand to unfold the imperial decree, and then said: "The emperor is in charge of heaven, and the imperial edict says: Liu Qi, the servant of the Nanjing household department, is loyal and pure, and has always been talented. As the Minister of the Household Department of Beijing, in charge of tax affairs, I will enter Beijing immediately and cannot be postponed, and I am bestowed upon you!" After reading the imperial decree, Zhang Yun directly passed the imperial decree forward: "Lord Liu, accept the decree!"

Is this Liu Qi promoted?Although I don't know what it means to be in charge of tax affairs, but the servant of the household department in Beijing is a real deal.

Although they are both servants of the household department, but the servants of the household department of Nanjing and the servants of the household department of Beijing, can that be the same thing?Thinking of this, everyone looked at Liu Qi differently. It was not to arrest him, nor to punish him, but to promote him. The atmosphere fell into an embarrassing situation for a while, and the faces of the people present were not very good-looking. .

Because everyone knows how he treated Liu Qi before. Now that Liu Qi has been promoted, he is the servant of the Beijing household department. He is the immediate boss of himself and others.

Liu Qi's eye circles were a little red. After three years, he had finally waited for this day. Liu Qi hurriedly poked his head on the ground: "Mr. Liu Qi, thank you!"

Borrowing the decree and standing up, Liu Qi smiled and said to Zhang He, "Dare to ask the general's name?"

"I don't dare to be a lowly position!" Zhang He quickly bowed and said, "Zhang He, a lowly position, Zhang He, a thousand households of the Black Dragon Guard under the Prince of the East Palace, before the lowly position left Beijing, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince once explained that the matter in Beijing is urgent, please come to Beijing immediately with me, Mr. Liu. His Royal Highness is waiting for Lord Liu to arrive."

As soon as these words appeared, the atmosphere changed again. Liu Qi actually leaned on the thigh of His Highness the Crown Prince?Hearing the meaning of these words, His Highness the Crown Prince actually thinks highly of Liu Qi.This time, many doubts were solved. Why Liu Qi was not dismissed, punished, and did not resign himself. It turned out that this Liu Qi belonged to His Royal Highness.

What Liu Qi was waiting for in Nanjing was probably the prince's recruitment. Some people thought more about it. His Royal Highness the prince personally came to the Yangzhou private salt case back then.

Although when he arrived in Yangzhou, he was seriously ill and couldn't be a director, but now it seems that things are far from being as simple as they seem on the surface!This Liu Qi might have taken refuge with His Highness the Crown Prince at that time, and everyone couldn't help but regret secretly. If they knew this was the case, why didn't they flatter Liu Qi at the beginning?

Liu Qi himself was very excited, it really was His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness did not forget me, I finally waited for His Royal Highness to summon me.

"Wait a moment, general. I will go back and tidy up, and then I will leave for Beijing with the general." Naturally, Liu Qi did not dare to neglect, and said hastily.

Liu Qi left, although some people in Nanjing were worried, but compared to the huge Nanjing officialdom, it was as if a stone was thrown into a lake, causing ripples, and then disappeared, as if nothing happened occur.But many years later, many people understood one thing, that is, how big a storm will be caused by Liu Qi's entry into Beijing this time.

Capital, Xianyang Palace.

Looking at the slightly gloomy sky, Zhu Houzhao murmured: "I'm afraid it's going to rain. I used to feel bored when it rained, but now I think mourning in the rain is very beautiful." The raindrops fell on his hands. After a while, Zhu Houzhao withdrew his hand, looked at Liu Jin and asked, "What's going on in the court recently?"

"Returning to Your Highness, there is no major incident in the court. A few days ago, the cabinet signed a report, and the disaster situation in Shandong and Henan has been calmed down. This time, the catastrophe did not cause too much damage. The court mobilized money in time, and the courtiers were all involved. The memorial congratulates His Majesty."

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and then said with a smile: "Sure enough, everyone is forgetful!"

Before, there was a quarrel about the staff office and the taxation department, but now the court is looking like hello, me, everyone, because there is nothing important in the court, the country has enough time, and the official The days are easy, and it can be regarded as a piece of peace.Only Zhu Houzhao knows how many people's sufferings are hidden under the prosperity of this prosperous age.

"His Royal Highness, Ma Wensheng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, has arrived." Liu Jin went straight to Zhu Houzhao's side after hearing the report from the people below, and said respectfully.

"Has the person arrived?" Zhu Houzhao nodded, then turned around and said, "I will meet you in person." After speaking, he turned and walked outside.

Ma Wensheng was standing in the main hall of Xianyang Palace at this time, and his heart was also confused. Why did His Royal Highness summon him?You must know that I have nothing to do with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
