The post-abandoned elegance shocked the world

Chapter 18 Returning to Beijing
"Well, it's good that you know." Xie Qian recalled that Qi Mingzhi's drastic investigation of prisons in the south of the Yangtze River was actually watched by government offices at all levels in the prefectures and counties.In the first half of the year, more than a dozen officials were suspended for participation.

In this way, I am afraid that the entire Jiangnan will cause a major personnel earthquake.At that time, there may be many vacancies.This time the second prince chose the wealthy Jiangnan as his target, and it is hard to say whose sphere of influence there is.However, since ancient times, scholars who came out of the south of the Yangtze River and became officials after passing scientific examinations often did not return to their original places to become officials.However, their family is in Jiangnan.The second prince obviously followed Qi Mingzhi to gain knowledge, and would he have the idea of ​​those Jiangnan gentry.

My father had been the chief examiner of Chunwei several times, and many Jinshi came from his father's family, and now they are all over the court and the public.This kind of network is unmatched by others.This is also a place that is beneficial to the prince.Now that the second prince singled out Jiangnan, what exactly is he going to do?
Xie Qian thought of what his father said before he left, that he should first teach his younger sister well in the past two years, and second, listen more and think more. If there is anything he doesn't understand, just write back and ask.So I mentioned it in my reply.

"Do you have any letters? Send them together later."

Xie Mo then went back and wrote a letter to her father, giving a miscellaneous report of what she had seen and heard along the way and her daily life here, even including what snacks she liked to eat.Finally send it back together.

Because Xie Qian's letter involved confidentiality, it was sent by a servant he could trust.Twenty days later, the reply came.

Writing back to Xie Mo was very easy, because Xie Mo wrote about what he saw along the way and what he ate in his hometown. What is delicious in this century-old shop.

Xie Mo found it interesting, it turned out that Daddy had eaten it too.

The letter to Xie Qian was not so easy. As for his question, Xie Huaiyuan shared his speculation that the emperor not only wanted to clean up the prison, but also wanted to refresh the government.If this is the case, then the second prince is going to explore the way.

Xie Qian's face changed slightly.The first emperor ascended the throne at a young age and ruled the country for 40 years.But after reading the history books, we know that there are two situations that are not good for the government.One is that the lord is young and the country is weak, and the young lord ascends the throne, and the state-owned strong officials are prone to instability; the other is that the king is tired of governing in his old age, which will leave a lot of hidden dangers for the administration of officials.Successors often struggle.But the first emperor had both.

At the beginning of the emperor's ascension to the throne, there were many constraints, and Huayu was trapped in the war with Xiling.The past two years have been better, so the emperor is going to do something.

Since it is to refresh the government, what is needed is a sharp knife.In this way, will the gentle prince still be the candidate for the throne in the emperor's mind?Xie Qian thought about what his wife said in his letter. After they left, his father had a cough because he had caught a cold, but after taking three medicines from the imperial physician, it took a full month for his illness to recover.My father was not like this before, even if he got cold, he didn't even need to drink ginger soup for a few days.

If this is the case, where will the prince go, and where will the Xie family go?
Xie Mo didn't know about this, so she called the people who guarded the old house to ask where the century-old shops mentioned in Xie Huaiyuan's letter were. If they were still there, she was going to buy them one by one and try them out.

Xie Qian knew about it, so she asked someone to buy it for her, and when she bought it, she treated it to guests and asked Xie Qian and other brothers and sisters in the clan to share it together.

"Well, this one is delicious, this one is delicious, and this, this one. Brother, let's send ten catties of each item to Beijing during the holidays. Well, I will also send a copy to the emperor, aunt and cousin."

Xie Qian patted her forehead, "I can't see it, but you are quite good at managing the family." Sending these New Year's Day gifts, no matter if it is from a father or an aunt, will bring back memories of childhood.And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and everyone in the Xie Mansion will also feel very cordial.It really cost nothing to send the gift to the idea again.

Xie Mo touched his forehead, why both of them like to touch her forehead.Only my cousin is a good person and never bullies her.

The days passed like water in the exchange of letters and gifts. Xie Huaiyuan and his son corresponded once a month, sometimes a few pages, sometimes as long as a dozen pages.Xie Mo sometimes complains genuinely and falsely: "Daddy has a lot to talk to his son, but only a few words to and fro with his daughter."

Therefore, although he was not in the court, Xie Qian was very clear about the situation in the court in the past two years.I know that there is a sense of turmoil in the court, and I also know that the second prince was just looking at Jiangnan at the beginning, but now he no longer hides his obscurity. .Jiangnan officials quietly nicknamed him "Prince Dismissed from Office", but the folks called him "Prince Qingtian".

The officials in Jiangnan breathed a sigh of relief seeing that this master had obtained the emperor's will to return to the capital to receive the title and leave the palace to leave the palace.On the day Xiao Hao left, the common people sent out the Wanmin Umbrella.All the officials on Jiangnan Road came to see them off, and the scene was really lively.

Xiao Hao also smiled, these officials were probably sending themselves off with the mentality of sending the plague god off.Over the past two years, his activities in the south of the Yangtze River have become so big, and there are many reports of impeachment, and the father has no words. It seems that, as the mother and concubine said, the father intends to reform the official system.Therefore, all he did was tacitly approved by Tianxin.

Only after taking this trip to the south of the Yangtze River did Xiao Hao realize the extent of the corruption and darkness of the government in today's world full of flowers and flowers.If the father has this heart, he will definitely help.It's just that you can't make wedding clothes for that elder brother in the East Palace in vain.Turning around and saying that he has gone too far and needs a lenient monarch to appease him, it is not okay to kick him aside.So, he also wants to go back.At such a critical moment, it is not good to be away from the father for too long.

However, these officials thought that he would be fine after he left.Giving up halfway is not his belief.Even the emperor would never allow this matter to die at the beginning.After dismissing these [-] people, the next thing to fight is the right to appoint and remove personnel.Don't let him offend everyone, the prince came out to be a good person, and gave those vacancies to those under him.

"Your Highness!" The curtain of the carriage next to him was lifted, revealing a beautiful face that was both angry and happy.This is a concubine that Xiao Hao took care of by Qi Minzhi when he went to the south of the Yangtze River. His surname is Ding Dan and his last name is soft.She is the sister of a general in Jiangnan who holds real power.She is 15 years old this year, and her appearance is actually more charming than some beauties in the palace.

To be honest, it is really thanks to this uncle that Xiao Hao has been able to hold so many people's golden jobs without incident in the past two years.At this time, Ding Rou is also in Liujia waiting to give birth.Therefore, Xiao Hao will go by land, while she will take a boat.

In the past two years, Xiao Mo's subordinates have called Ding Rou Madam Ding.

Seeing Mrs. Ding calling him at this time, Xiao Hao reined in, "What's wrong? But the child is messing with you again?"
