For these people, it is estimated that King Jing would have quickly eliminated them before the incident, not to mention King Jing's situation when he took office? Huang Qiong estimated that those evil slaves in Prince Jing's Mansion were left by Prince Jing to show others. In the entire Prince Jing's Mansion, Prince Jing should have another group of people. How could I, the second brother, really have no defense against these people with ulterior motives recommended by others?
As for that person, he probably doesn't have time to pay attention to such trivial matters. And in his opinion, the more evil those so-called people in Prince Jing's Mansion do and the more serious conflicts they have with local officials, the happier he will be, otherwise he would not be allowed to live until now. That person dared to assassinate even the local chief minister's pacifier, let alone a small government official?
Although this person is known from the fourth grade, he is already a great official in the eyes of ordinary people. But among his brothers, they are just pawns that can be used. As an opponent, he was far from qualified as a fourth-grade official. Thinking of this, Huang Qiong calmed down his thoughts and said, "Do you believe that King Jing can really massacre the city?"
"The guilty minister didn't want to believe it, but he didn't dare not to believe it. Since he took office, although he had no chance to see the true face of King Jing, the guilty minister had a kind of unconstrained style when he observed King Jing's actions after he conquered Zhengzhou. I feel like I have no clue. The guilty minister originally worked at Fujian Road, where the clan was not divided into clans, and he didn’t know much about the clan before."
"Since the guilty minister was transferred to Zhengzhou, he has done nothing else. He used this period of time to travel all over the prefectures and counties under Zhengzhou. Although King Jing's actions over the years are not completely clear, he can still tell them clearly. It is said that he is inseparable from ten. Looking at his behavior and character, King Kei's behavior since the feudal period can fully explain his character."
"This King Jing has a tiger-wolf nature and acts unscrupulously and without any scruples. Therefore, the guilty minister cannot guarantee whether he will turn the threat into reality. Because as early as the moment he raised his army, the guilty minister knew that he This rebellion will not succeed. It’s okay if he wins. If he fails and returns to Zhengzhou, no one can guarantee whether he will actually mobilize troops to massacre the city in anger."
"If King Jing's plan to mobilize troops to massacre the city becomes a reality, how can the guilty minister show up to the world? The guilty minister also knows that as long as he accepts this job, when the imperial army regains Zhengzhou, the guilty minister will have no choice but to die. But if one government is crying, how can it be better to cry all the way? As long as the people of Zhengzhou can be saved, what does the guilty minister have to fear if he goes through fire and water?"
Although he is stubborn, he is not pedantic. Hearing that the powerful magistrate Zhengzhou was dealing with the envoy King Ying, he still called him King Jing, instead of directly calling him the traitor king, so he immediately changed his words. Only the title has changed, but the tone has not. His tone made Huang Qiong extremely uncomfortable.
After a long silence, Huang Qiong said: "I still say what I said, your crime must be decided by the court. However, I will report the things you said truthfully to the heavens. I believe that my father will give a fair deal. . But you can’t die now, and I won’t let you die. It can’t be true, and it can’t be true.”
"Sooner or later, the truth of the things you stated will come to light. Although you have only been in office for a short time, you are now the official who knows the situation in Zhengzhou best. I will temporarily resume your official position and wait for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. After the new Zhengzhou magistrate takes office, you must assist him in handling the aftermath of Zhengzhou so that he can be punished. As for the guilty officials, don't mention them again."
"As for now, if I ask you anything, just answer it truthfully. Although you have only been in office for a short time, I can see from your words that you still understand the situation in Zhengzhou very well. Now I ask I hope you don't have any worries and can answer whatever you want. How should Zhengzhou deal with the aftermath?"
"My intention is not to attract the attention of some people, but also not to arouse public anger, so that the situation in Zhengzhou will not become turbulent. I think you should understand the meaning of these words. I want to listen to you Don’t try to fool me with your official clichés.”
Huang Qiong got straight to the point in such a simple and straightforward manner, which actually shocked Jian Tongzhi. However, he still understood the meaning of Huang Qiong's words. But there were some things, so he asked again with some uncertainty: "Your Majesty, are some of the people you mentioned the clans entrusted around Zhengzhou, as well as the princes in the capital?"
"Do you think there are other people who would make me so taboo?" Huang Qiong said with obvious displeasure at this person's rhetorical question. If it weren't for the old man's secret edict, he repeatedly told him that he must be cautious in handling the property of Prince Jing's Mansion, and that everything must be decided after asking for an edict. Huang Qiong would not be sitting on the wax like this, let alone scratching his head like this.
Huang Qiong also knows the character of his emperor. Once anything touches the clan, it is always handled with caution. I'm afraid that my own emperor, I, know it very well in my heart. If King Jing is defeated, the lands under the name of King Jing's Mansion will become the eyes of the surrounding clans in Zhengzhou and even the princes in the capital, especially those whose fiefdoms have been decided.
It's just that the emperor's power is unpredictable, and Huang Qiong didn't know whether the emperor's request was because he didn't want to sit on the wax by himself, or to save face for himself. Let those clan members have some scruples, don't eat too ugly, and save some face for the Tian family. But this undoubtedly makes Huang Qiong feel somewhat like throwing the mouse away when dealing with certain problems.
Looking at the King of England in front of him, his expression was somewhat uncertain because of his rhetorical question. After Jian Yong hesitated for a moment, he still said: "Your Majesty, the guilty minister has been serving in Fujian and had no contact with the clan before being transferred to Zhengzhou Prefecture. Fujian Road has always been the sphere of influence of Guilin County Prince's Palace, and the precious tea garden of Guilin County Prince's Palace. Half of them are on Fujian Road."
"Although the Guilin County Prince's Mansion has never participated in government affairs, it has never interfered in local government affairs. All its thoughts are focused on business. However, the money turned over by the entire Guilin County Prince's Mansion every year is equivalent to 30% of the court's annual income. The court must be used as a last resort. , will not be at odds with the Guilin County Prince's Palace. Therefore, where there is the Guilin County Prince's Palace, the court generally will not enfeoff clan clans."
"I am just worried that these clans will act recklessly after arriving in the fiefdom, causing dissatisfaction with the Guilin County Prince's Palace and affecting the court's annual income. Moreover, Emperor Taizu also made repeated promises when he divided the kings. Fujian Road, Guangnan East-West 2nd Road , the princes will never be divided. In addition, the land in Fujian is barren and the people are poor, so the princes are not willing to go, so they luckily escaped."
At this point, after he took a look and listened to his last sentence, which was the sentence that he narrowly escaped death, Huang Qiong's expression gradually became darker. Swallowing his saliva, he said: "Since Enke became a Jinshi in the first year of Mingde, he was assigned to work in Fujian Road because he had no backing in the court. He served successively as magistrate of Taining County, Tongzhi of Yanping Prefecture, and later transferred to the transportation department of Fujian Road. Raise the matter of tea and salt.”
"Later, he was squeezed out because of a conflict with the Fujian Road Envoy. With the recommendation of the Fujian Road Envoy at that time, he was transferred to be the Inspector of Criminal and Prison Affairs. From the point of mentioning criminal and prison matters, he was transferred to Taining Prefecture Magistrate. . Until he was transferred to the Tongzhi of Zhengzhou Prefecture, he had never had any contact with the clan. Therefore, the guilty minister may not know the clan as well as the prince."
Huang Qiong looked unkind, but Jian Tongzhi was calm: "Your Majesty, I can't believe what I heard. The guilty minister is an official on Fujian Road. It's difficult for him to do his job well on Fujian Road. As for other places. The guilty minister is incapable of taking care of the matter, and he can't control it, right? After all, it is the guilty minister's duty to guard the pastoral side on behalf of the heaven."
"You're just a bastard." Huang Qiong gritted her teeth in anger at this guy's open-eyed lies. Just now I said I had a lucky escape, now I'm saying I don't understand. Does this guy really think he is an idiot, or does he not take him seriously at all? At this time, you are still here trying to deceive yourself?
Although Huang Qiong's anger has been clearly shown. But this guy was not in a hurry to plead guilty, but he was fighting for his own reputation: "My lord, you can kill the guilty minister, but you cannot insult the guilty minister. The guilty minister should abide by his duties as a minister and be an official of his own. He interferes in and doesn't talk about other local political affairs, and he doesn't talk about the clan at will. I wonder where the word "bastard" comes from?"
"Your Majesty, serving as an official for one term and benefiting the country is the purpose that we officials should uphold. Although the guilty minister on the road to Fujian cannot be called an official as clean as water, he was diligent in political affairs and did a lot of things when he was in office. If you do less good deeds that benefit the people of one area, the official evaluation will always be excellent. The word "bastard" is something that the guilty minister cannot afford."
No matter how well-educated Huang Qiong was, he was still made furious by this guy again and again. The most important thing is that Huang Qiong found that he had fallen into this guy's trap and was distracted by him. I discussed with him how to deal with the current situation in Zhengzhou. He was actually abducted by him, and his evaluation of the clan went up.
Barely suppressing his rage, Huang Qiong was so angry that he said, "Don't give me this nonsense. How is your evaluation? That's a matter for the officials. What I'm asking you now is, what should you do?" Properly resolve the aftermath of Zhengzhou without attracting attention or arousing public indignation. As for other matters, that has nothing to do with me."
"You are playing tricks with me, be careful with your head. Since I can let you out of the prison in Zhengzhou Mansion, I can also let you go back. What's more, I have many ways to make people live and die. If you want to give it a try, I don’t mind having someone greet you nicely.”
Seeing that Huang Qiong was really angry, this brave colleague who was almost hairy still said unhurriedly: "My lord, you are now the envoy to Zhengzhou and the dignified Ninth Prince. Prince of the dynasty. How you deal with the guilty minister is your responsibility. The guilty minister has no right or ability to change it. However, the guilty minister would venture to ask, will you really kill the guilty minister? "
"If you really wanted to kill the guilty minister, you wouldn't use a bunch of chickens to kill the guilty minister today. You want to use the guilty minister now, but you have some taboos. Otherwise, the guilty minister wouldn't do it. I have the opportunity to sit here. He should be eating rotten rice in the prison, hanging out with ants and rats. If the guilty minister guessed correctly, the new Zhengzhou magistrate should be the prince's man. "
For Huang Qiong, whose thoughts were read through, it was rare for Huang Qiong's face to turn red slightly. But he argued freely: "What nonsense are you talking about? Although the new Zhengzhou magistrate was transferred by the British Palace Chief Shi, he was also appointed by the emperor's imperial pen. How come you said that he is my king's person? In You are talking nonsense, or I will tear your mouth apart."
"History, Chief of the Imperial Palace? You are not talking about Mr. Su of Hanlin Chengzhi, are you? How could it be this guy?" Hearing the candidate for the new Zhengzhou governor from Huang Qiong, this person has been sitting firmly in Diaoyutai since meeting Huang Qiong. The guy had a rare expression of deep thought on his face. His fingers were also tapping his knees out of habit.
