Qiao Jiaojiao didn't know how furious Emperor Yong was in the court.
She only learned from Qiao Diyi's mouth that several decrees had been issued from the palace.
The emperor was furious and ordered that the entire family of Xin Mansion, the Minister of Rites, and the Duke of Qing Dynasty be executed!
In fact, Qiao Jiaojiao could probably guess what Emperor Yong was thinking.
Chunwei is a method used by the imperial court to select talents. It is related to the foundation of Emperor Yong's rule. He will not allow anyone to get involved.
Now Sheng Qishan teamed up with Xin Ruizhi to buy and sell positions and let mediocre people enter the officialdom. They colluded with each other, and they were simply causing trouble under the nose of Emperor Yong.
How can you allow others to snore on the side of the bed?
This time Xin Ruizhi and Qing Guogong really touched Emperor Yong's evil scale!
It was already afternoon when Qiao Zhongguo and Qiao Tianjing returned to Qiao Mansion.
Qiao Jiaojiao didn't take a nap because she was worried about missing any news.
Qiao Zhongguo and Qiao Tianjing had been hungry for most of the day. Mrs. Qiao asked her servants to heat a table of food, and the family closed the door to talk.
[Ah ah ah, what happened? Where is Tan Hanchi? Is he okay? 】
[Dad, brother, eat more quickly, you are starving! 】
[Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu: You didn't let that kid, the Second Prince, take advantage? Damn it, when will the baby be able to talk? 】
Qiao Jiaojiao was sitting in Mrs. Qiao's arms babbling when Qiao Diyi suddenly handed Qiao Zhongguo an envelope from the side.
"Dad, I've seen it, it's the real list."
Qiao Jiaojiao's little fist suddenly punched.
【etc! List? It's not the list I thought it was, is it? 】
Qiao Zhongguo immediately put down the chopsticks in his hand, unfolded them and couldn't help laughing three times.
"Hahaha, okay, then boy Tan's plan is indeed effective! In this way, the second prince can be said to have lost all his efforts!"
When Qiao Jiaojiao heard this, she suddenly jumped up from Mrs. Qiao's arms.
[Is this really the list in the hands of Duke Qingguo? Was it Tan Hanchi's plan to get it back? 】
[Oh my god, I’m surrounded by talented people, so why should I worry about it? I can just be a baby with peace of mind! 】
[Once the Chunwei case is revealed, the male protagonist loses the leverage in the hands of Duke Qing, and without the help of the Gu family in Qingzhou, his great achievements must not be halved? 】
At this time, Qiao Diyi asked Tan Hanchi again for Qiao Jiaojiao, "Dad, where is Brother Tan? He was detained?"
After hearing this, Qiao Tianjing put down his bowl and chopsticks and asked his father to take a few more bites. He replied:
"Although Xin Ruizhi confessed in the palace, except for Tan Hanchi, he could not name any other candidates with specific buying and selling rankings."
"The Holy One was furious and sent people to arrest Duke Qing immediately. However, the palace officials discovered that he had committed suicide on the beam of the ancestral hall with a handwritten confession."
"The Qingguo Duke's Mansion was searched from top to bottom, and the list was still not found, so the Holy One ordered people to re-check all the articles in this spring period, and be sure to find out everyone who was involved in the buying and selling rankings."
"As for Brother Tan, the Holy One seems to appreciate him very much and kept him on the spot."
This morning, Tan Hanchi behaved neither humble nor overbearing, advancing and retreating in a measured manner. He uncovered the Chunwei fraud case and got rid of the two cancers of Xin Ruizhi and Sheng Qishan for Emperor Yong.
Everyone said that this Zhuozhou scholar was going to rise to prominence.
Qiao Jiaojiao had already anticipated this, and couldn't help but nod her head after hearing this.
[Tan Hanchi was originally a man of great talent, but now he has experienced hardships and gained success. 】
[But that dog emperor who was blinded by lard... Tsk, tsk, he probably wanted to leave talents like Tan Hanchi to the second prince, right? 】
[However, Tan Hanchi is a man who values love and righteousness. He already has his heart set on our Qiao family. I believe he will not change his camp. 】
When Qiao Tianjing heard this, he couldn't help but nodded secretly.
He and his younger sister thought exactly the same. Brother Tan was absolutely trustworthy.
At this time, Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help but be curious about Gu Junlin, who was supposed to replace Tan Hanchi.
[What about that Qingzhou Gu Junlin? How is he? 】
You know, the Qingzhou Gu family is an indispensable help for the heroine Meng Guxue to build a business empire.
Qiao Diyi immediately reread Qiao Jiaojiao's question and pretended to be curious.
In fact, with his muddled mind, he had completely forgotten who Gu Junlin was.
Qiao Tianjing said with a smile, "It depends on how sincere the Gu family can be. The superiors... must have been jealous of the Gu family's property for a long time."
Qiao Jiaojiao understood instantly.
[So this is asking the Qingzhou Gu family to pay for their lives? After this incident, the Gu family may also be in decline. 】
[Tsk, tsk, with such a big business of the Gu family, whoever gets a share of it will be a huge profit. I’m afraid the second prince won’t just sit back and wait for death, right? 】
When Qiao Tianjing heard this, his eyes flashed slightly.
Doing business?
The Qiao family seems to lack such talents.
Don't worry, let him think about it...
Qiao Tianjing was deep in thought when Qiao Diyi suddenly said with a smile:
"Brother, Sheng Mingcheng and Sheng Xiuran were let go, and they did as you said and mentioned the second prince. Sheng Mingcheng is probably going crazy now!"
Qiao Tianjing smiled lightly when he heard this, as if he had everything under control.
"Wait a little longer, wait until Sheng Mingcheng jumps over the wall, and this time the Chunwei case will be almost completely over."
Qiao Diyi looked at his eldest brother's smile, rubbed his goosebumps on his arms, and said with a wrinkled face:
"Brother, can you please stop smiling so horribly?"
Qiao Jiaojiao heard Qiao Tianjing's arrangement from a few words, and her eyes suddenly brightened up!
[Brother, you are awesome! Do you want Sheng Mingcheng to bite the second prince? What a wonderful idea! ! ! 】
[Ah, I feel like I can lie down completely, lying in my mother’s warm arms, watching my dad, my eldest brother, and my second brother killing everyone! 】
Qiao Zhongguo quickly took a few mouthfuls of rice, and after washing his hands, he took Qiao Jiaojiao's hand lovingly, holding her in his arms and weighing her up and down, with a doting look on his face.
If Jiaojiao didn't foresee the future, the three eldest men of the Qiao family would have nothing to do no matter how powerful they were.
A stupid person like him, Qiao Zhongguo, had escaped countless open and secret arrows from the Northern Kingdom in the first half of his life, but he never thought that one day the knife that stabbed him would come from within the Yong Dynasty, from the Emperor Yong to whom he had devoted his life as a soldier for half his life!
This morning, the second prince took the initiative to take Tan Hanchi to the Jinluan Palace. Qiao Zhongguo didn't believe that Emperor Yong didn't notice anything was wrong.
If Sheng Mingcheng makes the matter bigger and exposes the second prince's wild ambitions, and the Holy Emperor still chooses to protect the second prince, then he, an old man who has been loyal to the emperor for decades, will no longer be loyal to his heart!
Loyal to the country and loyal to the emperor, first loyal to the country and then to the emperor. If the emperor is unkind, for the sake of the country, the country, and the people, he must abandon the ignorant king and assist the benevolent prince!
This time, he will do his best to protect his family, and also to protect the Dayong Mountains that thousands of Dayong warriors fought with their own flesh and blood!
