The stay at Qi's house was just a temporary visit, so Yin Jun had no intention of staying here for dinner.
Shouldn’t the first meal after returning home be prepared at home?
If we don’t eat, we can only enjoy tea.
Yin Tao is very good at tea ceremony. She soaked the high mountain pears newly sent from Dawan until they were fragrant and lingering.
The brothers and sisters are not outsiders, so there is no need to exchange greetings, so they directly started the reminiscing mode.
Yin Jun first gave a brief introduction to his Ding You. Generally speaking, everything was business as usual.
The only unsatisfactory thing is that my wife and son are not used to living in their hometown in Yongchuan, and they were slightly acclimatized in the early days.
In view of this, he chose to go north alone this time. After everything is settled, someone will be sent to pick up the wife and children and reunite them. In this way, you can effectively avoid the exhaustion caused by rushing on the road.
Compared with her brother's brief summary, Yin Tao's complaints seemed much nagging.
The dissatisfaction, anxiety, and even anger of the past year all poured out at once.
According to her, the current monarch and queen have changed their original temperaments, and they feel more and more sinister.
Has your Majesty changed?
Yin Jun listened carefully while secretly analyzing the reasons behind this.
Over the years of his official career, he has long developed a mature and prudent temperament.
After hearing this, he immediately expressed his position and said: "Sister, don't worry, as long as I am in Beijing, nothing will go wrong! No matter what storms come, brother, I will bear it together. If I can't protect you, how can I have the face to see that village man in the future?" ?”
"With your words, I feel like I have the backbone of my life!" Yin Tao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this and showed a relaxed smile.
"Oh, by the way, where are the others, Qi Xiao? Why don't you come to see me?"
"He has gone to the cement factory to guide the work. This is His Majesty's instruction. You cannot refuse."
cement?
Hearing this word, Yin Jun suddenly remembered that this thing had already blossomed all over Qiongzhou, but he never thought that the capital would also follow suit.
How did he know that this was Qi Xiao's contribution.
After finishing the business talk, Yin Jun stood up and left.
With the sound of a whip, the carriage drove towards his home.
However, just now
Just after walking out of Lixu Road, a rough man suddenly stepped out and blocked the way with his arms crossed.
"Who are you and why are you stopping me?"
"Master Yin, don't you recognize me?"
"Who are you……"
"I'm Huang Fei. Due to the current situation, it's not convenient for me to show my true face. I hope you can forgive me."
The person who came was none other than Huang Fei, who had changed his appearance.
Yin Jun was stunned and quickly clasped his fists.
Next, under Huang Fei's hint, Lord Yin followed him to a hidden place for a secret conversation.
"Master Yin, I have something to say. It's not convenient for me to tell Mrs. Qi, so I want to talk to you..."
"Wait a minute! You should call my sister Miss Yin, not Mrs. Qi. She has not officially married her yet, so it is not appropriate to call her by random names!"
Ahem!
This uncooked rice has already been cooked, why are you still so stubborn?
That's right!
It's up to you!
Huang Fei quickly corrected his slip of the tongue and began to report.
What he wanted to report were two strange things that could not be proven yet. Because the truth behind them was difficult to fathom, he did not report them to Yin Tao.
But Yin Jun is different. He currently serves as the Zuodu Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He is ranked as the ninth minister. He is in charge of supervision, impeachment and recommendations. He has the right to directly participate in everything in the court.
Back to business.
Huang Fei reported two things, one related to Qiongzhou and the other related to the court.
Let’s talk about it one by one first.
Zhou Chunsheng accidentally revealed this matter about Qiongzhou. On that day, he was assisting in invigilating the examination in the Imperial College and heard the president discussing privately that the two candidates from Qiongzhou named Tao Ci and Lai Dayuan might be dismissed from the imperial examination.
The reason is that there may be favoritism and malpractice in Qiongzhou’s rural examination. Therefore, the people in their land cannot be regarded as innocent. According to the laws of the Dafeng Dynasty, they should be deprived of their fame and status.
But Huang Fei firmly believed that Mr. Qi's governance style would never allow him to engage in such dirty tricks.
There is a bridge but you can't cross it. Do you have to cross the river through muddy water?
This kind of self-deception can never happen in Qiongzhou.
Furthermore, if Tao Ci and Lai Dayuan were really cheating "parallel imports", how could they have made it to the top ten in the examination?
Therefore, Huang Fei had enough reasons to believe that someone was deliberately targeting Qiongzhou. He hoped that Lord Yin could lend a helping hand and bring justice to the innocent.
Yin Jun did not agree arbitrarily, but said that he would first understand the facts of the case before making a ruling. If there is really frame-up, we will definitely not stand idly by.
Let’s talk about the second thing.
In recent times, as the reputation of the prince Li Hongyu has been growing day by day, rumors have spread in officialdom that he may be the future prince. Although it is still difficult to tell whether it is true or false, it does not affect the courtiers' desire to win over.
Who wouldn't be positive if he could establish a good relationship with his future king?
Coupled with the recent strange rumors about Si Chen, Li Hongyu's biological mother, Empress Su, has also become the target of courtship by the ministers.
When Huang Fei entered the palace, he saw with his own eyes that the Chief of the Internal Guard and the Lord of Kunji were very close, as if they had been masters and servants for many years.
The conclusion is that the current court seems to be in chaos in the harem.
Yin Jun did not accept this point of view.
There is no other reason. Your Majesty is a truly wise king. How could a man like him let a woman control him?
However, it can’t be said for sure. Tigers still have time to take a nap, let alone humans?
If this matter is true, it only shows that Queen Su is not as simple as it seems on the surface. The previous Mu Yi Tianxia was also something she deliberately pretended to be.
Regarding this point of view, Huang Fei also expressed his views in a rather subtle way.
He believes that the reserve Queen Su showed before was a disguise she set up to gain the emperor's trust, and now is the time to take advantage of this trust.
In a big event like the establishment of a prince, any pretense will be revealed, and he will even kill his relatives and friends for it.
In some cases, never underestimate the determination of a mother who protects her calf.
Huang Fei had served two generations of kings and had a solid understanding of the battles in the palace.
Um……
That seems to make some sense.
Yin Jun looked sadly at the background of Huang Fei's departure and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
He could clearly feel that the situation had changed during his departure and return.
