Lonely non-good minister

"Huo Qing, how is the investigation of the case I have given you?"

Everyone looked at Huo Ying, he got up, and took out the memorial from his arms: "Reporting to the emperor, a total of 13 people, including Leping county guard, county lieutenant, supervisory censor, and county magistrate, have been found out. They have colluded with officials and businessmen, corrupted and accepted bribes, and ordered the people to raise livestock. Evidence of the crime of disobeying the court's order to cultivate."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Insufficient food production in Leping was the heart disease of Great Wei. The court tried many methods, and even dealt with the magistrates, but it didn't help. Unexpectedly, Emperor Taikang let the Tingwei Mansion do it without saying a word.

"Dispose according to the law." Emperor Taikang ate a mouthful of roast mutton, as if he didn't pay attention to the hundreds of lives involved behind the 13 people.

Huo Ying responded, handed the memorial to Changde, and retreated to his seat.

"Your Majesty." Sikong bowed: "Leping Supervisor Censor and County Chancellor were arrested and interrogated, and their positions have their own alternates, but the positions of county guard and county lieutenant still need to be appointed by the court."

This is a fat shortage, the crown prince and King Zhongshan became excited, but before they could open their mouths, Emperor Taikang said: "Order Situ Mansion Mu Lin to be Leping County Governor, and Ting Wei Fu Huo Ying to be Leping County Lieutenant."

He made a quick decision, apparently planning it long ago, everyone was stunned, and Huo Ying himself was also stunned.

He changed from a Ting Wei, one of the Nine Ministers, to a County Lieutenant, which was downgraded several levels in a row. Mu Lin is even more so. He is the eldest grandson of Mu Guogong, and he entered the Situ Mansion at a young age by his own ability. He has a bright future, but now he is made a sheriff.

Leping is a hard bone, let them go, they don't know how to grow food, what can they do?

Both of them were stunned for a while before getting up to receive the decree. Emperor Taikang looked at them, very satisfied with his arrangement, and said: "Da Wei can't be controlled by others forever because of the food. No matter who goes to Leping in the future, I hope you can work together. , help me Dawei to be self-sufficient as soon as possible."

"Yes." They understood that the emperor was paving the way for others. Someone was about to be assigned to Leping to be in charge, and as long as they could assist this person well, they would be able to be reused when the next king or even the next king was in power.

This is Emperor Taikang giving them an opportunity to surrender, and he is also recruiting confidantes for that person.

The king of Zhongshan and Song Chun knew that Emperor Taikang was paving the way for Song Yuan to go to Leping. She wanted to be a local official, and she proposed to go to Leping. To make room for her, as for arranging Mu Lin and Huo Ying, two rookies in the court, the reason is to let them become Song Yuan's support.

Knowing this, King Zhongshan was instantly displeased. He valued Song Chun the most, and naturally he didn't want anyone to threaten Song Chun. Even though this person was his own son, Song Chun was full of joy. Song Yuan got Taikang Emperor's personal paving arrangement , he was even more delighted than he himself had received such a benefit.

In just one meal, the situation in Leping has changed drastically. No one here said a word, and they all waited patiently to see who the person who would make Emperor Taikang bother to pave the way was. The end of the dispute is not far away.

It was already late at night when the banquet was over, tents had already been set up for everyone to rest, and the imperial guards were patrolling everywhere.

In the tent, Song Yuan who was drunk was sent back by Wei Yan. Mrs. Shen brought Chunyang to wash and change her clothes. Seeing the scars and scars on her body from beatings, Mrs. Shen felt distressed and helpless. Can take out the ointment and rub it on her carefully, and put her clothes on for her.

Chunyang changed the water and came in, Xiao Shen twisted the handkerchief to wipe her face, just as she was wiping, Zhongshan King came, looking serious, looking at the drunk Song Yuan, both happy and worried.

"Why is the prince looking at A Yuan like this?" Xiao Shen stood up: "Could it be that she got into trouble again?"

King Zhongshan shook his head slightly, sat down and looked at Song Yuan carefully, saying that she was very much like the deceased concubine Shu, but King Zhongshan himself didn't remember what his mother looked like. He loved Song Yuan only because she was the youngest and the most noisy. Staying by his side can be a companion, and he really didn't think about the future for Song Yuan, he thought about letting her be a happy prince in the future, eating and drinking as long as he can be with him.

But the current situation is far beyond his control.

He took the handkerchief from Xiao Shen's hand, and wiped the sweat from Song Yuan's forehead: "A good child can win glory for his parents, but it's not a good thing if it's too good."

Xiao Shen's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly said: "Although Yuan'er is working hard, she is still far from top-notch."

"Sit down." King Zhongshan held Xiao Shen's hand: "You are young, and Yuan'er is also young, but I am old. Although the emperor lives a long life, I may not live a long life. If I can live as long as the emperor, it is natural. I'm not afraid, but now my body is not as good as before, I'm worried that Yuan'er will lose my asylum before she can gain a foothold."

Xiao Shen hurriedly covered his mouth: "Your Highness, don't say such unlucky words."

"Life and death are common things, there is nothing to avoid." King Zhongshan looked at Song Yuan who was sleeping soundly: "You have to think about it for her."

After 19 years by Zhongshan King's side, how could she not know what kind of person he was? He didn't allow anyone to threaten Song Chun and Song Run's two sons, and how could he tolerate the outstanding latecomer Song Yuan?

Saying these words is just beating their mother and son. Although she is young and favored now, King Zhongshan is old, and beauty is of no importance to him. Song Yuan is young and has no roots. The mother and son have no capital to disobey him.

To make him come and talk like this at night must be because of what happened at the banquet just now.

Mrs. Xiao Shen kept an eye out, and immediately told Chunyang to pay attention to the news tomorrow morning after seeing off Zhongshan Queen. It would be great if she could find out what happened at the banquet.

In the early morning of the next day, Emperor Taikang got up and drove back to the palace. The princes and ministers followed him one step ahead, and the family members left separately. There were still some people in the racecourse, so it was more convenient to inquire about the news.

Just as he was packing up his things, Chunyang came back, and after sending the maid out, he told Little Shen about the dispatch of Leping's personnel.

"Our son just wants to go to Leping. Isn't the emperor paving the way for our son by doing this?" Chunyang also understood the meaning of Zhongshan King's words last night, and suddenly became nervous: "It's not bad, although the prince hopes that the son will be outstanding." Contribute to his glory, but it may not let the young master have his own staff, let alone Mu Lin and Huo Ying are rookies in the court."

Xiao Shen frowned and remained silent. Chunyang's worry was not unreasonable, but things had already happened. No matter whether Song Yuan went to Leping or not, whether he could make political achievements after going, this thorn was planted in King Zhongshan's heart. .

"Where's Yuan'er?" She was very nervous. King Zhongshan came back to warn him, but he was already angry and had to think of a way.

"You're with Shizi, are you going to invite the young master back?" Chunyang was also anxious.
