Chapter 287: The Big Picture is Settled

Qin Zhengxue’s face was pale, and he was a little panicked.

It’s something that doesn’t check out.

Once investigated, then …… the county people looting merchants and merchants belongings, and then to take this so called belongings to invite to buy the hearts of the local squires, it is going to be the world.

Not to mention, his father, who died in an excessively messy way.

Although the son does not talk about the father’s fault, but honestly, if the world knows how his father died, I’m afraid he really can not be a man.

If we really want to investigate, let the Jinyiwei directly investigate the Qin family’s affairs to the bottom, and how much more will be revealed?

As for the Ministry of Justice and the Da Lisi …… side if they also start to investigate the case ……

Qin Zhengxue under the pain of the loss of his father, actually can only knock down the teeth into the stomach.

But Zhang Anshi did not let up: “Didn’t you say the death was strange? If it is strange, why don’t you investigate? If you don’t trust the Jinyiwei, do you not even trust the Ministry of Justice and the Da Lisi?”

After a pause, Zhang Anshi continued, “Qin Sheren, your father died, I …… naturally know that you are very sad, and now your heart is so confused that you can not make rational judgment.”

“Gentlemen, I think ah, it is better for us to take the idea instead of Sheriff Qin, we all work together to petition His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and ask the Da Lisi and the Ministry of Justice to send someone to investigate to the end, so as not to cause the world’s people to criticize.”

In fact, at this point, everyone was confused.

You’d have to say that Zhang Anshi is the murderer, but Zhang Anshi seems to be particularly concerned about the truth of this matter, and is even willing to ask the Da Lisi and the Ministry of Justice to lead the case.

If you say he is not a murderer, how come he died at this time?

As for Qin Zhengxue’s reaction, it was the most surprising.

He was, after all, the bitter victim, and when his own father died and he was grieving, anyone else would have wanted to look into it, just in case.

But he didn’t seem to agree with that.

Hearing Zhang Anshi’s words, Qin Zhengxue then immediately shook his head and said, “No, my father is the end of life, the cause of death is very clear. Hey …… after all, my father did not have this life ah ……”

He said, his eyes reddening and his voice starting to whimper.

At this point, he is no longer willing to dwell on it, everything has been finalized, and now it is useless to talk more.

At that moment, he fell to the ground in obeisance and said toward Crown Prince Zhu Gaoqi, “Your Highness, Your Highness the Crown Prince, my father reported his mourning, my …… minister ……”

Qin Zhengxue Wanxian, the state dynasty to filial piety rule the world, the minister died of his father, should be guarded for three years, which is known as the system of dingxiao.

In other words, at this point, he would have to pack up and go back to his hometown, and only after three years could he rejoin the capital as an official.

This is …… almost an unacceptable result for Qin Zhengxue.

But this is a result that you have to accept even if you want to, because it is the law of etiquette and the law of the land.

No one can go against these, unless …… the emperor specifically decrees to take away the love.

The so-called seizing of love generally means that a great event has occurred in the country, and a minister must be relied upon to handle it, and the matter has come to a point of urgency, so that, under the persuasion of a hundred officials and the will of the emperor, he finally stays behind on the ground that loyalty and filial piety are not mutually exclusive.

But he, Qin Zhengxue, was not qualified to take away love at all.

Damien has no record of taking love so far either.

Qin Zhengxue ten thousand thoughts, he knows more, this go …… three years later and then come back, the pattern of the dynasty will change, by then ……

He choked, and did not know whether it was because of the death of his father, or because …… he had lost his great future.

He continued with difficulty, “According to the ritual, I shall bid farewell to Your Highness and return to my hometown, and I implore Your Highness to grant me permission.”

When he said this, he bowed to the ground and could not help but burst into tears.

Zhu Gaoqi reacted at this time, his mouth opened wide, a little closed, a little want to be happy, but the muscles on his cheeks just went up, then immediately pulled down again.

So he flattened his mouth, tried hard to make himself mournful, and said in a tone that restrained his grief: “When the Secretary is in the Eastern Palace, the Palace has much to look up to, and there is no Secretary in the Eastern Palace, so if things go wrong, with whom should the Palace consult?”

He said, wiped his eyes, and said sorrowfully, “It s just …… that filial piety is fundamental, and the Secretary of State goes himself.”

Qin Zhengxue said with tears in his eyes, “Many thanks, Your Highness.”

He stood up with a frustrated look on his face, still cupping the letter of mourning in his hand, and took one step at a time, nearly falling to the ground several times as he nearly got a little weak in the legs and couldn’t stand still.

With another final salute, he walked away without looking back.

The hall suddenly fell under an eerie atmosphere.

Zhang Anshi said at this time, “Your Highness, I thought …… that this matter should still be investigated ……”

Liu Bei and the others, one of them didn’t say anything.

This guy, Zhang Anshi, is saying everything everyone wants to say.

Breathless, this thing everyone to say, but also can appear to Qin Zhengxue’s father was assassinated, someone must have done something, the spearhead pointed at someone.

But Zhang Anshi said it relentlessly, as if there were other people in the world who had harmed other people’s fathers.

Zhu Gaoqi said, “Suit yourself to Sheriff Qin’s wishes.”

It means don’t look it up.

Zhang Anshi could only say resentfully, “Yes.”

Zhu Gaoqi fixed his mind, showed a few points of grief, sighed: “The Palace is the most trustworthy Qin Sherman, Qin Sherman in Zhanzifu, has always been the heart of the Palace humerus. Now really can’t give up ah.”

“Yeah, yeah ……” everyone nodded in agreement.

Zhang Anshi nodded along, that is, in agreement, saying mechanically under his breath, “Yes, yes, yes.”

Zhu Gaoqi and said: “Just …… now the position of bachelor, still waiting for the position, the Secretary to see, who is good?”

There was silence in the hall again.

On the one hand, this time, everyone’s heart was unprepared, never expecting that another person would need to be publicly elected.

At this point there is simply no time for everyone to hook up behind the scenes.

On the other hand, today’s incident was too shocking, leaving someone without a father for good reason, making many people’s hearts beat a little.

Just as everyone was in shock, Zhang Anshi smiled and said, “Your Highness, why not Yang Pu?”

“Yang Pu?” Zhu Gaoqi said faintly, his eyes looking at the crowd.

Liu Bei and the others haven’t responded yet.

Zhang Anshi said: “Didn’t you all say so? Yang Pu is also a high talent, virtue and talent, is actually the second choice, that is, Qin Zhengxue Fang is also said clearly and clearly, Yang Pu’s talent, better than him ten times, is the top choice. Of course, we all know that this must be the modest words of the Qin Sheriff, but also can be a glimpse of the leopard, this Yang Pu is indeed a person with real talent.”

Zhu Gaoqi looked at Liu Bei: “What does Minister Liu think?”

“This ……” Liu Bei really gave a hard time.

If it doesn’t work, then where will we find a second candidate?

As for saying that this Yang Pu is not qualified, this also does not work, the public push Qin Zhengxue, everyone also said, Yang Pu really also has talent, although this is just discourse, such as Yang Pu has talent, but …… such words.

It would obviously be inappropriate to just backtrack now.

Zhu Gaoqi since it is not possible to let go of this opportunity, then said: “the ministers, this is the top priority, the ministers of these days, are urging the Palace early public launch of the bachelor candidate, how to now, but also dawdled?”

Liu Bei had to harden his head and smiled bitterly, “Yang wash the horse …… or can try.”

Upon receiving his words, Zhu Gaoqi was nonchalant and said, “Does anyone think it’s wrong?”

Seeing that everyone was quiet, Zhu Gaoqi stood up and said, “Then it is settled, Yang Pu ……”

Yang Pu: “……”

Yang Pu was in a daze at this time, things turned around too fast that he was unable to react.

He had also always felt that there must be some other reason for the death of this Qin Zhengxue’s father, but what that reason was, I’m afraid that only heaven knows.

However, Yang Pu knew that after today, I am afraid that he is completely tied up with Zhang Anshi, even if he explains, no one will believe in his innocence.

Even …… the death of this Yang father, there may be someone to throw dirty water on his body.

At this point, if he chose to excuse himself, he would actually not be able to clear himself of suspicion.

And the only way to do that is to accept it, get the position, do something that benefits the country and the people, and really change the way the world sees you.

In just an instant, his mind turned a thousand times, but he also made a decision, and at once bowed down and said, “I am here.”

Zhu Gaoqi said, “all the ministers are public push you as a bachelor, this is both the public opinion, you can not excuse yourself, tomorrow to take office, to assist the Palace it.”

What else could Yang Pu say, saying, “Thank you, Your Highness.”

He looked up, glancing at Zhang Anshi.

Zhang Anshi, however, was smiling.

A public push dispersed.

Everyone hasn’t come around yet.

Zhang Anshi, however, has pulled Yang Pu: “Congratulations, congratulations ……”

Yang Pu smiled bitterly and returned a salute.

Zhang Anshi said, “From now on, you and I will only be in the same boat.”

It’s very clearly pulling in and buying off.

Yang Pu but also know, he has long been in this boat, can not come down, but still discretionary: “but where it is beneficial to the country and the people, the next official will be on the Duke of Weiguo try to cooperate.”

Zhang Anshi smiled, he knew that Yang Pu was still defensive and wary of him, so he turned the conversation and said, “That charter, how do you see it?”

Yang Pu frankly said, “There are some places, imperfect, and there are also some places, which seem a bit whimsical to my humble servant, but on the whole, it is novel.”

Zhang Anshi then said, “Although the Taiping Province in the South Zhili, but most of the people are suffering, I want to use this charter as a blueprint for the implementation of the new government, which is also the Prince’s intention, Yang Bachelor thought how?”

“It is better to be cautious, take one step to see three steps.” Yang Pu paused and said, “In fact, throughout the dynasties, there are countless smart people, and those who implement new policies are even more numerous, and their new policies, if they only take the statute to see, none of them are not both meticulous and favorable to the people. But what is the actual effect? Visible things in the world, not a pat on the head, come up with a novel idea can be done, in the final analysis, have to rely on people.”

“Relying on people?” Zhang Anshi looked at Yang Pu in surprise, and then waited for Yang Pu’s following.

Yang Pu nodded and said: “Not bad, all times to implement the new government, no do not want to be the enemy of the old party, and the talent of the world, more for the old party to be enlisted. Therefore, to set up a new government …… rely on the support of the palace can not, rely on a sage can not, let’s say Wang Anshi, Wang Anshi is how smart people, his new government, compared to the public master of your statute, meticulous unknown how many times, but the Song dynasty is not solved the cumulative disadvantages of redundant officials and redundancy, whether the people’s burden is alleviated it? ”

Zhang Anshi said, “Then what is the reason for this?”

Yang Pu said: “Wang Anshi got the support of Song Shenzong, can be said to be the wind for a moment, this Wang Xianggong, can be said that the time and place are all accounted for, the only loss …… is the people and. His new policy, inevitably caused by the opposition of the dynasty, but since the opposition, things how to implement it? The approach taken by Mr. Wang is no different from the vast majority of new rulers in the past, and what they chose was to buy people’s hearts!”

“So …… tend to inflame the people, have to run to Wang Xianggong, these people in order to attach, everyone claims to be the new party, but the results? As a result, things are bad in the hands of these people, the statute is formulated again, the new government is prepared again how complete, the emperor again how to support, but when your disciples, but are a group of people who only want to borrow the opportunity of the new government to tend to the trend of the guy, how can things be done it?”

“The end result …… is nothing more than a laughing stock in vain.”

After a pause, Yang Pu continued, “So the next official thought that the Duke of Wei is too anxious, once anxious to have a new government, it is inevitable to cause disputes, once disputes, with the power of the Duke of Wei, of course, there is no worry that some people will defect to the Duke of Wei, but with these rats, how can it be accomplished? ”

Hearing this, Zhang Anshi subconsciously said, “Then what should be done?”

Yang Pu heart also had an early answer, so immediately said, “First, do not play the banner of the New Deal, do not attract attention, just in the name of purging the White Lotus Sect …….”

“The White Lotus Sect ……” Zhang Anshi was a little confused.

He didn’t realize that the White Lotus could also be a tool man.

Yang Pu smiled and said, “The White Lotus religion in Taiping Province, the influence is too deep, for the sake of long term peace and stability, and to completely combat the remnants of the White Lotus religion, the officials of this counties, is it not possible to take this opportunity …… to change the people? Secondly, many of the initiatives in the Public Master’s charter can also be justified on this basis.”

“For example, the abolition of the people need to go out of the road guide approach, is also very simple, just say the White Lotus Sect of demonic words, the scourge of the countryside, can encourage the local people, to the county town or the capital city, listen to the missionary ……”

“There is also the policy of taxation, which can also be changed, just say that the White Lotus Sect has evil intentions ……”

Yang Pu began to say one by one, Zhang Anshi listened to the great surprise, finally a hand across the hand of Yang Pu said, “Yang Gong, go, let’s find a place to sit down, slowly say.”

So looking for a small hall in the East Palace, Zhang Anshi let the eunuchs to pour tea, then could not help but ask: “In the name of getting rid of the thieves, can it be hidden from the public?”

Yang Pu laughed: ”Your Excellency, there is a saying that you have to give an inch to get a foot. If you directly say that it is a new policy, many of the strategies in it are aimed directly at the hundred officials and the gentry, will they be willing to give up? But if it’s about getting rid of thieves, it’s different.”

“On the one hand, is to tell them, this is only in order to get rid of thieves of temporary measures, at least can teach them some peace of mind, even if they do not like, but not to the opposition to the great. Secondly, with the name of the thieves, is the great righteousness, who if there is more than a few words about it, but also dare not oppose too much, if not, it will not become for the White Lotus Sect open eyes, become the remaining White Lotus Sect?”

After a pause, Yang Pu then said: “This third well, in fact, some things, you know I know the world know, but know is one thing, the master but can not shout out, we know, at least can maintain the surface of the calm, once shouted out, it became the enemy of the difference between us.”

Zhang Anshi sipped his tea and said, “This way, it makes sense, good, just do it like this, but …… you can t keep using this excuse.”

Yang Pu then said: “This is called to get an inch, after getting an inch, this new policy if it is really in the Taiping Province to do well, the people are really living and working in peace and contentment, then …… at this time, under the master, but also certainly has developed a number of officials who are good at the new policy, and at the same time… … also harvested a lot of people’s hearts, the dynasty is also bound to have some really worried about the people of the country, see the fruit has the effect, will certainly turn to support, at that time …… things will be much better.”

“Your Excellency …… must always think that the world’s readers, are all muddy, are catty, or pedantic, or negative generation. In fact, your lordship thinks so, this is from your lordship is not a reader origin, the readers under the sky, can not be generalized, just a mixture of good and bad.”

“If the new policy can really be effective, there may be a part of the readers, but support the more powerful, the reason why they are against, because of the successive dynasties, the implementation of the new policy, instead of benefiting the country and the people, but led to the people’s burden is heavier, the discipline is more corrupted, which is any new policy are cautious and skeptical, and then again, the Gong Gong, after all, is a foreign relative ……”

Zhang Anshi immediately raised his eyebrows and said, “What’s wrong with a foreign relative? Relatives are not human?”

Yang Pu couldn’t help but show a hint of a smile and said, “My humble servant didn’t mean that.”

Zhang Anshi got serious and pondered for a moment before saying, “What you said is not unreasonable. This strategy of yours is quite like the legacy of the Great Ancestor, Emperor Gao.”

Hearing this, Yang Pu glanced at Zhang Anshi in a different way, “This is not daring.”

Zhang Anshi said, “When Emperor Taizu Gao took over the world, he had used the strategy of: build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slow down the reign of the king, isn’t that actually what he meant?”

Yang Pu was busy shaking his head, “Hey, Duke Zhang is prudent, is this something that can be said?”

Zhang Anshi, however, had no scruples and said directly, “Even in front of his majesty, I also say this, isn’t this the most commonly used quote by you readers? A lot of things, originally not taboo, but you readers have a lot of flowers, but it always seems as if you are colluding with something.”

Yang Pu: “……”

“I don’t know, Mr. Yang, what other ideas do you have? It is just right to teach me all together, I am a careless person, although there are many brothers around me, there are not many with brains.”

Yang Pu said, “Then the statute, the subordinate officer will change it again, and in a few days, it will be sent to the Gong Gong’s residence.”

Zhang Anshi smiled happily, “That would be a pleasure.”

The two of them had a heart to heart, and were considered to be completely on their own.

Yang Pu was a little skeptical of life, he did not know whether he was dragged down by Zhang Anshi or he dragged Zhang Anshi down.

Maybe …… are accomplishing each other.

…………

A report was quickly sent to the palace.

At this time, Zhu Di was having his lunch.

Empress Xu is not in the palace, Zhu Di simply just eat some random meals in the Wenlou to deal with a few bites.

Therefore, they only let people send a small pot of wine, a few small dishes, the wine is the palace imperial brew, a few small mouths down, can not help but be hot.

It was at this time that Yilostha tiptoed in.

Zhu Di raised his head and looked at also lost a glance at the ha, one side of the self drink self pouring, one side said, “East Palace …… have results?”

Yiluoha walked to Zhu’s side before saying, “Yes.”

Zhu took a sip of wine, then asked again, “Gong launched who? ”

“Qin Zhengxue ……”

Zhu Di frowned, looked unhappy, will wine cup casually rested on the table, then muttered: “into his mother, I only teach them not to curse, but did not let them obey the will of the minister in every way, this world in the end is surnamed Zhu, or these bird ministers in the bag?”

Cursing under his breath, he filled his glass again.

And Yizhar said, “But ……”

Chu: “……”

Hearing the two words, however, Zhu Di, who had just raised his cup again and sent wine into his mouth, looked violently at Yiluoha.

Also lost ha carefully said: “But …… there were some accidents, that Qin Sherman’s father …… passed away, Qin Sherman then immediately resigned, back to the countryside to keep the system to go, and finally … . everyone publicly pushed Yang Pu.”

“Pfft ……”

Zhu took a mouthful of wine and sprayed it right out.

“Why didn’t you say so earlier.”

Yilungha laughed and said, “Wasn’t the slave girl afraid of not being able to speak clearly?”

Zhu Di instead said, “How is it that his father died at this time when he was so good?”

“The slave girl doesn’t know, everyone suspects …… ahem ……”

Zhu Di raised his eyes and said, “Do you mean that …… the crown prince and Zhang Anshi did it?”

also lost Ha Road: “But it is not like, Wei Guo Gong repeatedly hope to be able to thoroughly investigate, but also hope that the Ministry of Justice and the Da Lisi to check …… must thoroughly investigate the cause of death …… Instead, the Qin Sherman said that this is the end of life ……”

Zhu Di couldn’t help but be disappointed: “I thought, my son has a few good points, really a person who can do great things, so it’s just luck.”

Zhu Di can not help but sigh, said also strange, as a father, Zhu Di hope that the King of Han and the King of Zhao to be a little more peaceful, but it is also hope that his eldest son is ruthless and ruthless.

Also lost ha said, “But …… the slave girl …… feels that there is something fishy in this, this is because the person who reported the mourning …… slave girl let someone check, this person …… is somewhat different, and the death of Qin’s father is very obscure, rather like…this Qin’s father is dying horizontally.”

“Will ……” also lost ha, “this Qin father’s death has a problem, just but it is not good to explicitly say ……”

Zhu Di suddenly understood what: “I know, if it is really so, that is quite a few means.”

Also Lostha laughed bitterly, “This is also just a guess by the slave girl.”

“No need to guess.” Zhu waved his hand and said, “Where in the world is there such a coincidence!”

He paused, at this time not interested in eating and drinking, said, “Go and summon Master Yao and Secretary Jin to come, be quick, I have a big matter to discuss with them.”

Yiluoha saw that Zhu Di had a few hints of urgency, so he hurriedly said, “The slave girl will go right away.”

He had just left, but a eunuch came hurriedly, “Your Majesty, Duke Yao and Duke Jin are seeking an audience.”

Zhu raised an eyebrow, this is a coincidence.

After a while, Yao Guangxiao and and Jin Zhong entered the hall together, and the two of them saluted, “Your Majesty ……”

Zhu Di’s gaze fell on Yao Guangxiao first and said, “Every time I want to see Master Yao, Master Yao always arrives without fail.”

“Fate, wonderful!” Yao Guangxiao smiled.

Zhu Di said, “Well, cut the crap, things, check it out?”

Zhu Di looked at Yao Guangxiao seriously with a grave expression.
