The next day, Xuandu Yushifu.
Dou Jianzhang, the imperial censor, shook his head and sighed: "Oh, I can't save Li Yanbi."
There was an official beside him. Hearing this, he couldn't help but said: "Although the king is wise, sometimes he is merciful and soft-hearted. With his status as a teacher, interceding for mercy should have some effect."
Hearing this, Dou Jianzhang shook his head again, handed the silk book in his hand to the official and said, "Read it yourself."
The latter hurriedly took it with both hands, lowered his head and looked at it carefully.
After he finished reading, he was also shocked. He held the silk book and stuttered: "Here, the reprimanding teacher in the letter is more of a reminder, but this is not the king's handwriting."
"That's why we can't save it." Dou Jianzhang said: "This is the handwriting of King Qin himself. He has many pens and inks passed down, and his handwriting is unique. I still know him."
No matter how much he was a royal censor or a first-rank minister, Dou Jianzhang still had this knowledge.
"What!?" When the official heard this, his eyes widened and he swallowed: "The teacher means..."
"The memorial was approved by King Qin, but the royal seal is clearly stamped on it. What does this mean? It shows our king's determination. Qin Xuan's marriage is irreversible." Dou Jianzhang analyzed .
"This, what the teacher said makes sense..." The official nodded slowly, his thoughts changing.
Dou Jianzhang glanced at him and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"Ah?" The official came to his senses and returned respectfully: "The student is wondering what will happen to me if we get married."
"Well..." Dou Jianzhang stroked his beard and narrowed his old eyes slightly: "Don't worry about this. The centuries-old foundation of Xuanguo cannot be shaken, but I expect that the King of Qin will promote relative military and political integration."
"This means that after the marriage, our country's government and military affairs will most likely have to be decided by the King of Qin." The official followed.
"Of course, it is still unknown how the situation will develop, but we can make assumptions in this regard." Dou Jianzhang said ambiguously: "In addition, after the engagement, the attitudes of many ministers have changed. Although we are still opposed to the marriage, , but don’t be like the Prime Minister anymore.”
The official saluted quickly: "Thank you, teacher, for the tip. The student has learned a lesson."
"You go down first." Dou Jianzhang waved his hand again.
"Yes, students are resigning."
At the same time, Tingwei Mansion.
The current Xuanguo Tingwei, named Wei Changlin, ranks among the ninth ministers and is the chief of the highest judicial body.
If you want to appoint officials in important positions, you naturally need the highest order from the royal court.
At this time, the king's order has been sent to Tingwei's Mansion. The content is simple, ordering Wei Changlin to enforce the law impartially and personally sit in the command to arrest Li Yanbi immediately and punish him severely!
Wei Changlin was somewhat surprised by this royal order. After his subordinates read it, they couldn't help but said: "My lord, I heard that many ministers have interceded for Li Yanbi's case, including the imperial censor. , but this royal order is a bit strange."
Wei Changlin pondered for a moment, but did not say anything more about it. Instead, he said directly: "The king's order is here. If you dare not obey, go and do the work."
"But this." The subordinate officer hesitated a little: "Li Yanbi is Dou Jianzhang's disciple. If the Yushifu intervenes..."
"You are thinking too much." Wei Changlin sneered: "Since this is the highest decision of the royal court, it means that Dou Jianzhang's statement must have been refuted. He is not a fool. To intervene at this time is to Set yourself on fire."
"I understand, let's do it now." The subordinate officer no longer hesitated and immediately bowed and left.
This time's handling of government affairs and the issuance of several royal orders were actually done deliberately by Xiao Yuan. Of course, this also had to be supported by Lu Yunyan.
For example, Dou Jianzhang, the imperial censor, and others, who have been officials for many years and are shrewd and experienced, have already sniffed out something.
He can analyze these things, and of course Yao Tingyu can see them at a glance.
In the prime minister's house, Yao Tingyu was sighing: "The general trend is the general trend, the general trend is the general trend..."
Seeing this situation, Fu Qingyi couldn't help but said: "Master Xiangguo, the engagement of the two kings has been known to the whole world. There is no point in worrying about this matter."
"This is not the most important thing." Yao Tingyu said: "What is more important is that my king's heart lies with the King of Qin. I have never seen that this handling of government affairs is not the style of the king, but the handiwork of the King of Qin."
"This..." Fu Qingyi swallowed and said tentatively: "What the Prime Minister means is that the king agrees with the marriage between Qin and Xuan and it is irreversible?"
"No matter what, I must persist, even if my head is broken and bloody!" Although Yao Tingyu didn't answer the question, the meaning of his words was already clear.
After hearing this, Fu Qingyi was obviously worried: "But the Prime Minister, the King of Qin is domineering and decisive. He once beheaded dozens of officials in a rage. He does not have the kindness and kindness of our king. If the stalemate continues, I'm afraid... It will lead to death..."
"Why should I be afraid!" Yao Tingyu blew his beard and stared.
"Yes, yes..." Fu Qingyi swallowed again.
In fact, Xiao Yuan was not going to kill him, let alone whether he could kill him or not. If he really wanted to touch Yao Tingyu, Lu Yunyan would probably be the first to go to him because he was a loyal veteran.
The handling of government affairs and Li Yanbi's matter aroused private discussions among many courtiers, but it did not cause any shock. Instead, many officials began to follow the trend. When the marriage was brought up in the court, it was no longer the same as at first. There was a voice of opposition.
Everything is going smoothly, Xiao Yuan needs to wait for a suitable opportunity before he can marry Lu Yunyan.
The days passed like this, and he had been in Xuanzhou for some time. At this time, the autumn harvest had passed, and there was a new summary of the grain production situation in various places in the Qin State. There were also letters from Prime Minister Liu Yuzhi.
The content of the letter is about the summary of the harvests of various counties in Huandi, and there is nothing else.
All in all, why did Liu Yuzhi send such a dossier? There is no doubt that he felt there was something wrong with it.
After Xiao Yuan saw it, he calculated the time and realized that it was time for him to return to the capital. He happened to take a diversion to Huandi to take a look at the situation there.
So the next day, he prepared to bid farewell to Lu Yunyan.
Outside Xuandu Posthouse.
Seeing that Xiao Yuan had packed up and was about to leave, Lu Yunyan clearly had some resentment in her beautiful eyes, but she couldn't say anything. She could only stand in front of him and asked in a low voice: "I'm leaving now." Already?"
"Yes." Xiao Yuan nodded and wanted to put her in his arms, but there were a lot of people at the scene, so he could only say seriously: "Sister Wang, wait for me."
"Yes." She nodded slightly, and when she raised her eyes again, there were tears in her eyes: "Brother Wang, take care of yourself all the way."
