Chapter 41 – Heartwarming Female Match
Zhao Su, after all, on Aunt Ning has a watchful eye, Aunt Ning said on her lips to consider consider, in fact, whether it is a delaying tactic also do not know, so account for the people around him, the Mei Ying Zhai side to keep an eye on some, in order to do to know the enemy.
Then let someone into the palace to send a letter to the Empress Dowager Lu, tell her that she is sick, probably means that she will not find themselves in the near future, so as not to go into the palace to meet the emperor.
The sore had experienced last night’s tragedy, and had actually collapsed around it, and the pain had subsided a lot. There was no problem walking around so normally, and also had the leisure to pay attention to the follow-up of this matter of the Xu family.
That day Zhao Ying and the matchmaker went to the Xu family, has been sitting until dusk before returning, specifically what to say there is no way to know, just follow the entourage to go back to the Xu Chong was beaten to the flesh of the news, there is he really has a cousin, that cousin was also sent out of the capital.
And then Fang Du also suffered some disaster.
The news is so big, Fang Zhu is a mess back to the house that day, how could the Fang family not be alarmed?
The father of Fang Qingxue, or the Fang family, in fact, in the original novel appeared, the Fang family of books, up to count four generations are regular readers, although not out of what ministers, the family style is well-known.
On the way of the empress accompanied by the late emperor to set the country, the Fang family had provided assistance, so the original year Fang Qingxue fee old nose hard to get a bachelor, the late emperor immediately allowed him to serve in the capital, so many years, Fang Qingxue self-criticism to return to the rituals of the fabric did not have a special building, but also never had omissions. As the head of the family, he also strictly required his family.
Fang drainage trembling, not waiting for Fang Qingxue back, he first held the cane kneeling in front of his study.
Coincidentally, recently, because Shi En committed a crime in prison, involving a huge amount of money, the Ministry of the Yamen will not be involved, need to help clean up the source of stolen money and so on, Fang Qingxue in the Ministry of the right minister, recently extraordinarily busy.
Back to the house after hearing that such a thing happened, although I know that not all the responsibility of the square ditch, the moment also took his hand cane, whip him a few times, and then punished him to think about it behind closed doors.
Fang drainage in the end with their own nothing to do, Zhao Su heard just, as usual, daily reading and study.
The reason why Fang Qingxue hit the square channel, in addition to blame him for not outside the fight, but also because he was involved in the Zhao Su that the root of the trouble in the strife.
At the moment for the Shi En crime thing, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor on the bar, many of the old ministers sandwiched in the middle of the dynasty have not published attitude, only the Qing Yun Hou chose to support the Emperor severely punished Shi En, Fang Qingxue do not want to get involved in the palace of the dispute, so Fang Ditch is best to away from the Zhao Su these people far away.
But fear of what will come.
Today’s morning court surged many proposals to the Ministry of Rites left minister to fill the vacancy of the voice, only Qingyun Hou Shi En guilt has not yet been identified as a reason for the proposal to postpone the discussion, and then there are people let the Ministry of households to come forward to state the source of Shi En’s stolen money, as the evidence to determine the Shi En’s guilt is conclusive.
Dismissed the emperor will be in the imperial study room summoned the Ministry of households He Sheng with him.
“Shi En has not yet confessed, this application to fill the vacancy of the folders came up, is not too urgent point?” The emperor behind the imperial case, as always, the tone of voice is mild.
The white bearded He Sheng is from the Yanjing family, he bowed and replied, “Your Majesty, the request to fill the vacancy of the left minister of the Ministry of Rites has been up for a long time, and it’s no surprise that someone would have brought up this matter in court today. However, I guarantee that this matter has nothing to do with the Ministry of households.”
The emperor raised his eyes: “Since I heard it long ago, how come I didn’t hear it earlier from the Minister of love?”
“This matter is not related to the household department’s political affairs, so I didn’t dare to disturb the emperor.”
Fang Qingxue raised his eyes and saw the emperor’s gaze shift right to himself, and immediately dropped his head.
“Fang Aiqing is in charge of the Ministry of Interior, this year’s spring’s accounts for the Ministry of Interior have not yet been submitted, when will they be available?”
Fang Xueqing busily said, “Back to the emperor, it’s already done. After checking it again later, it can be submitted.”
Although his eyes were staring at the ground, the top of his head vaguely felt hot and spicy, like a strong light was shining.
The current emperor is not very old, but since he was a child, there is a natural aura, after ascending to the throne and taking power, this aura is even more seemingly natural with his identity.
Being in a hurry at the time, the emperor’s side of the eunuch four happy hand holding a letter paper quickly walked in, the emperor lowered his eyes to look at the words on the paper, and then did not raise his head to send the word: “All retire.”
Fang Qingxue was relieved.
He intentionally lagged behind a bit when he left the palace, but he didn’t expect that when he arrived inside the Donghua Gate, He Sheng was actually waiting for him in front.
“Qingxue ah, Shi En’s guilt is confirmed, after entering the cell, it is unlikely that he will have another chance to come out. The reason why the Emperor asked about it is just because he is afraid of not being able to give a good explanation in front of the Empress Dowager.
“Because of the Flower Moon Club, these years some national policies have not been successfully implemented, the emperor at this time is afraid than anyone would like to jerk off Shi En. So regardless of whether the emperor believed or did not believe, as long as we comply with the emperor’s mind, there will never be a mistake. Internal Affairs Bureau accounts, or as soon as possible to do a good job of submitting up.”
Fang Qingxue raised her head slightly, “But Shi En Lu Dynasty has been an official for so many years, since he had the guts to covet such a large amount of silver, he should have left something behind. Why is it that the corruption and ink shown on the incriminating evidence was all done in these two years? He coveted such a large sum of silver and was exposed so quickly, wouldn’t there be a possibility that he was framed?”
He Sheng gathered his hands together, “All of this is nothing more than speculation. And if speculation is useful, then what’s the point of having evidence?”
Fang Qingxue pursed her lips.
“Alright, do your part and don’t make any mistakes.”
He Sheng looked deeply at him twice, then took eight steps out of the palace gate.
Fang Qingxue stood fixedly in place, lifting his heavy feet only after a long time.
Behind the corridor pillars, Si Xi waited until his figure could not be seen outside the door before turning around and walking towards the direction of the imperial study ……
Marquis Qingyun came out of the Qiyu Courtyard, went back to his room and sat down, then got up and entered the palace.
The Emperor, who had heard Si Xi’s order to resume, was still sitting in the Qianqing Palace.
He put down the folders in his hand, took out a few bundles of herbs and placed them in front of Marquis Qing Yun: “Can you see what’s wrong with these medicines?”
Marquis Qingyun was not a doctor, where would he look at the medicine? But he still picked it up and looked at it, then wrinkled his nose: “The odor seems to be somewhat different.”
“Different is right. This is a batch of aged herbs.”
Marquis Qingyun wondered for a moment, “Where did you get this?”
“This year’s procurement by the Imperial Medicine Division. Someone intercepted it from the medicine crates that were packed and handed over to the Imperial Medicine Division from the medicine merchants.”
“This kind of medicine was handed over to the Imperial Medicine Division?” Marquis Qingyun’s expression changed, “I’m afraid this isn’t something the medicine merchants can hide.”
“Perhaps they weren’t worried about exposure at all.”
The emperor raised his eyebrows, drawing out a piece of angelica and turning it in his hand to play with it. “I have asked someone to check, the Imperial Medicine Division’s eunuch in charge, Su Kwai, is the godson of Zheng Fu, the eunuch in charge of the late emperor’s followers.
“In addition what is not known is that Zheng Fu also has a godson, but it is Liu Sheng, the Wei Commanding Officer of Longyang State in Shaanxi Province, who is also a general under the jurisdiction of your Central Military Governor’s Office. It is reported that the medicinal herbs that the Imperial Medicine Division has procured from Shaanxi in the past two years are all aged goods.”
