The 30th day of the twelfth lunar month.
This is a day of reunion, so we talk about the suffering of the soldiers guarding the border in the snow.
People everywhere, whether rich or poor, are full of joy, saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, and looking forward to the new atmosphere in the coming year.
The same is true in Chang'an City. During dinner, every house is brightly lit.
In a certain family, the woman was showing off her new clothes to her children, with a smile on her face. She used to live in poverty and had to eat too much, but now the world is peaceful and her family's life is getting better and better.
When the husband saw this, he said, "I work in a craftsman's shop and I get three hundred wages per month. It's not enough for food and clothing. Why don't you feel sorry for me? I haven't had a new piece of clothing for several years."
"Is it important that you have a child? I don't have new clothes yet, and I can't spend money randomly." The woman was very housekeeper, and touched the child's head and said, "I will wear new clothes tomorrow. It will be a new look."
"Tell me, will His Majesty the Emperor of Qin celebrate the New Year with his family?" the man suddenly asked with interest. Common people were in awe and curiosity of the emperor.
"That's for sure. I guess His Majesty must be with the Queen now."
royal palace.
Xiao Yuan did have dinner with several ladies.
During the dinner, when he saw Lu Yunyan picking up the white ceramic wine bottle, he subconsciously said, "You want to drink too?"
"Why, it's not enough for me, the queen, to drink two glasses of wine with your ladies?" Lu Yunyan raised her beautiful eyebrows lightly.
That's what I said.
"Okay, okay, you are the master of the harem, you have the final say." Xiao Yuan said cheerfully.
Lu Yunyan ignored him and stretched out the wine bottle in the direction of Gu Xue: "Xue'er."
Gu Xue held the cup with both hands and said weakly: "Queen, can you not drink?"
She still remembered how embarrassing she was when Lu Yunyan encouraged her to get drunk.
"No." Lu Yunyan refused directly.
Then came Zhong Duoduo: "Concubine Hua."
"Ang." Zhong Duoduo also held the cup with both hands, looking excited: "Sister Yunyan, fill it up!"
Lu Yunyan smiled, while Xiao Yuan felt a headache. Needless to say, after this meal, he would definitely have to send them back one by one. He couldn't help but said, "Well, can you not get drunk?"
"Today is the last day of the year. Brother Wang, can you not be disappointed?"
Lu Yunyan said something, and then looked at Mu Lianying: "Lianying."
"Thank you, Queen." Mu Lianying held the cup with both hands, still dressed in white.
Then came Zhao Qingman, Huang Yunwei, and Yun Yuerong.
The girls have different looks and different dresses. They are all beautiful women, each with their own merits, but no one dares to disobey the queen.
The children sat at another round table, including Meng Ling, the princess of southern Xinjiang.
When the drinks were all raised, Lu Yunyan held the cup and said, "Don't he like to drink? I will get His Majesty drunk today. I, the Queen, will come first, and then Xue'er."
"What the hell are you doing?" Xiao Yuan panicked. Although he could drink well, he couldn't bear to take turns.
The girls covered their mouths and chuckled.
"Brother Wang, please."
"Husband, please drink this cup to the full."
"I respect your Majesty"
After enjoying the meal happily, Xiao Yuan finally couldn't stand up to the girls and was defeated.
The first day of the first lunar month.
On the first day of the new year, no shops were open in Chang'an, and every household was walking around the streets to congratulate each other.
In the snow, children were also laughing and playing.
At this time, the imperial court had already gone on holiday, as had officials at all levels, except of course for some necessary rotations.
But the people sent by Fu Qingyi to monitor Liu Changqing did not stop and were still active secretly, including in Qinzhou and his hometown of Chunhua County.
Fu Qingyi was dealing with relatives and friends at home, but his mind was always paying attention to the developments in Kyoto.
His wife even sobbed before dinner yesterday, saying that the family was reunited, but Kang'er was missing, and the child was still suffering in prison.
A few days passed like this, and on the sixth day of the first lunar month, it was almost time to visit relatives and friends, and news finally came back from the housekeeper.
In the study, the housekeeper was saying respectfully: "Master, Liu Changqing's son came back on the night of the 30th of the twelfth lunar month and had a meal with them."
"On the first day of the first lunar month, Liu Changqing went to the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"In the afternoon, I went to the residence of Zhang Jingrui, Minister of Industry."
"Then. Then I stayed at home and never went out."
"On the contrary, his wife went out twice during this period, but she took her maid to Chang'an Market for shopping, and nothing happened."
Listening to the butler's report, Fu Qingyi became angry: "That's not what I want to hear! It's the handle! Do you understand the handle? After so long, Liu Changqing hasn't found anything dirty? For example, secretly accepting bribes and colluding with businessmen? , or using power for personal gain, even if it’s visiting a brothel!”
"This" the butler said with an ugly face: "We have been closely monitoring and conducting in-depth investigations secretly, but we found nothing. Liu Changqing really does not have any style problems."
"Is this still a human being? Doesn't he have any private hobbies!?" Fu Qingyi asked: "Especially in terms of personal ethics, have you discovered anything?"
The housekeeper didn't know what to say: "Sir, Liu Changqing is really inhumane."
In fact, from the incident to now, after so many days, the housekeeper has also discovered that that guy is a pure and upright person. Whether it is official behavior, personal ethics, or character, you can't find an entry point.
A group of upright people, upright and upright.
Fu Qingyi took a deep breath, paused and then said: "Where is Chunhua? Has anything been found from his hometown?"
"No." The housekeeper shook his head: "The people sent out reported that Liu Changqing had a very good reputation in his hometown. He studied hard when he was young, and after becoming an official, he was deeply loved by the people."
"That's enough!" Fu Qingyi interrupted angrily: "Is there really nothing dirty about this person?"
"Firstly, he is not greedy for money, and secondly, he is not lustful. He doesn't even have a concubine." The housekeeper added.
"I don't believe it!" Fu Qingyi fell into a trap: "Continue to monitor! Continue to investigate!"
"Yes." The butler responded.
On the other side, Liu Changqing didn't know that he was being secretly monitored and others were collecting information about him everywhere.
He didn't care about Fu Mingkang at all, he just stuck to his principles.
To investigate Liu Changqing's corruption, bribery, and corruption of personal ethics is tantamount to fantasy, because it is simply impossible.
The upright Liu Xiangzi is not afraid of any conspiracy.
And Fu Qingyi got more and more crazy about this matter. The people he sent out were not professional elite spies. They were stealing planes and had deer-headed and rat-like eyes. They hung around Liu Changqing's house and Kyoto Prefecture all day long, which naturally aroused some suspicion. of attention.
Well, he was targeted by Jin Yiwei as a spy.
On this day, a secret report also reached Xiao Yuan's case.
