box of hearts

Chapter 190
After Qi Sheduan sat on the case, he checked with a list in his hand, "Governor Fu Ming of Liangjiang was known for his honesty and vigor. The total value of the silk handed down this time is as high as 300 million taels. It is rare that he can give it all. No excuses."

"Even wealthy households from wealthy families have to spend all their money for family marriages. What's more, the emperor is rich all over the world, and Suzhou and Hangzhou are naturally rich places. Even if they send 3000 million yuan, they should try their best to repay it."

"Speaking of which, preparations for the big wedding have been started since the year before last. His Excellency Wang has been responsible for repairing the palace, purchasing objects, raising funds and many other miscellaneous tasks. Even today, there is nothing wrong with it. Even this king has to admire it. Great talents are outstanding and capable of doing things."

Wang Zhengting slightly raised his eyelids, "The regent is grateful."

Qi She glanced at each other, just like the light smoke from the censer beside his seat passing by the brocade curtain, leaving each other without a trace.He turned his eyes and waved his hand, "There is nothing else to do, Mr. Wang, go down, and call Zhu Yiqing and Meng Zhong in for this king."

Wang Zhengting lowered his head a few inches, took two steps back, turned around and walked out.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Yiqing and Meng Zhongxian entered the room one after another, also neatly dressed in official robes with collars, and knelt down to say hello.Qi She didn't ask the two to get up, but just rubbed his hands on their faces, "If my king remembers correctly, you entered the pavilion four years ago. At the end of last year, this king instructed Wang Zhengting to take care of their family's long-term illness." Xie Chao’s old man, Wang Quezhao, please resign from the positions of Chief Assistant of the Cabinet and Secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and you two will take over respectively, Mr. Zhu and Mr. Meng. Why did you do such a big thing behind my back when you just took office? Good thing?"

Zhu Yiqing and Meng Zhong first glanced at each other, then lowered their heads, "The lowly officials are panicked, I don't know what the lord is talking about?"

Qi She touched the three copies and put them away on the desk, and tapped them with the index finger of his right hand, causing invisible ripples in the air, "I wish you a celebration of the six departments and nine ministers led by you, and the princes and relatives led by King Kang. It is the masters in the study room of the Qianqing Palace who claim to be the ministers before the emperor, saying that the emperor's knowledge and knowledge have not yet reached the time when he can govern in person. All three papers jointly appeal to the king to continue supervising the country. It was not the two of you who led the way, who else? ?”

"My lord!" Meng Zhongxian yelled, straightened up and knelt down, with tears in his eyes, "Please take a closer look, my lord, although there are many fellow villagers, family friends, and old friends who signed the official report , students... But there is also a large group of celebrities who are famous all over the world and are generous and generous. How can they win over? It is really the heart of the world, and the subjects look forward to it. The current situation has been difficult in the past few years, and it is all up to the prince to preside over it. As for the rituals and music of soldiers and farmers, from the Yancao river affairs in the south of the Yangtze River to the tea and horse farms in the north, it is not easy to make decisions based on feelings and make up for it. At the critical juncture of recovery, how can the prince stop doing nothing at this time? The country is the most important thing, I implore the prince to take care of it for a few more years and postpone returning to power."

"That's exactly what you said," Zhu Yiqing knelt down for a long time, full of old tears, "Although the emperor is very clever, but the scriptures are profound and the history books are rich, the lectures have not been implemented, let alone the state affairs. The importance and the complexity of the criticism? The emperor is young and cannot bear this burden. At least the act of taking charge of the government will be after the age of 20. At this time, we should study more books in a down-to-earth manner, so that we can handle the government with ease in the future. I hope the prince will do his best For the sake of the emperor, wait for the completion of the holy studies, and then calmly delegate the government."

Qi She stood up slowly while pressing the cloud-headed armrest of the large carved lacquer chair, and walked away step by step, without a trace of movement, "Have you ever drawn a bow?"

Zhu and Yao looked at each other, wondering where the question came from, so they stammered: "My lord, the humble job is a civil job, and I have never been able to draw a bow."

"I never had a humble job."

Qi She turned up the palm of his right palm and examined himself, looking at the white marks wiped out by the bowstring, "You know the posture of the shoulder and arm, the strength of the wrist, the bow is the horn of the rhinoceros, the arrow is the golden feather, and you even know how to bow your body. How does the cutting of the chisels and the deviation of the arrow feathers affect the range and aim of the arrow, all of which will not give you the strength to pull that bow and hit the arrow in the bull's-eye." Qi She cast his eyes from his fingertips to the two sides The ministers are like bows and arrows thrown into the quiver, "Only by shooting arrows can one learn how to shoot arrows."

Both of them are well-educated people, how can they not understand the meaning of the words?Zhu Yiqing swallowed his saliva and kowtowed to the ground, "My lord is right, it's just that the big politics of this country are not a trifling matter, and if the aim is slightly off, it's a small loss and a huge loss. This matter is related to the happiness of the common people. Please The prince takes back his life."

"That's right." Meng Zhongxian was not to be reconciled, and shook his head heavily, "Even if the prince insists on returning to power, the lowly post thinks that the current regulation should be temporarily followed. Please ask the regent's opinion first for all matters, and then report to the emperor."

Qi She waved his hand, and he couldn't agree more, "The regency is an expedient measure, but it's just a servant to share the master's worries. If he covets the master's power and refuses to let go, it's a house thief in a small story, and a house thief in a small story. Dali said that it is 'the country's thief and the beetle'. You should also be considerate of the situation of this king, don't let this king have worked so hard all these years in vain and still bear such infamy. After returning to power, this king will resign from all positions. It all depends on you all. The emperor is very intelligent, and what is even more rare is that he is open-minded, studious, hard-working and motivated. After four or five years, he can already take care of daily affairs alone. When encountering any major events, with the help of you, the pillars of the humerus, and If you don't understand or don't comply with the rules, you can explain clearly, and there will be no mistakes. In a few years, our emperor will definitely be an outstanding emperor who cares about the past and present, and sets an example for future generations. To be able to follow such a monarch is It is a blessing for us to be courtiers."

The underground people only know how to keep their heads shut, but can't speak.Qi She flicked his hand towards the desk, "I have withheld these three copies, so I won't pass them on to the emperor anymore. Although I step down from the stage, you are still prime ministers and heavenly officials. The emperor treats you like this." The veterans also rely heavily on you, and in the future we will rely on your assistance to establish the Qianqiu Empire, so that the emperor will know that you led so many people to prevent him from engaging in the great government, and it would be bad if you had a grudge."

Zhu Yiqing and Meng Zhongxian were both in pain and feeling, they were both full of tears, they grabbed the corner of Qi She's robe and wept unceasingly, "My lord, my lord, please think twice..."

"My king has made up his mind, you don't need to talk about it." Qi She glanced at the books on the Zizhu bookshelf opposite, and the sunlight cast tiger stripes on it, which seemed real and unreal. "Okay, let's all get up. Xiao Xinzi, get the two adults a towel. What, the governor Tang Ning asked to see? Uh, I don't have time right now, so tell him to go and come directly to the palace tonight."

Counting from the reorganization of the Zhenfu Department, Tang Ning is the third person in charge.The first Fang Kaiyin was cruel by nature, and after successively creating several unjust, false and wrong cases to clear the way for the regent Qi She to be in power, he was mercilessly killed.The second Meng Zhongxian was born as a concubine, and Qi She deliberately put him in the position of head of the intelligence agency to harden his heart, so he was promoted to Otsuka Prime Minister to check and balance with Zhu Yiqing, who was the chief assistant.As for Tang Ning, Qi She also saw her with her own eyes. She is a centrist with just the right amount of ruthlessness and wit.

He received the order at that time, and came to the palace quietly at night, and was introduced into the small living room outside the Hedao Hall.

Tang Ning has a lean and short figure, with a sparse mustache on her lips, but her eyebrows are extremely thick, always connected between them. Her voice sounds sharp and concise, but she is not at all respectful. She details several confidential current affairs Endowment:

"...After being under surveillance for half a year, he really didn't dare to interfere in the military affairs. He only blindly kept concubines and rarely saw guests. Now it seems that this person can still be kept."

Qi She sat on Zhang Hualijia's official chair, tapped twice on the armrest of the big chair with his fingers, "Okay, keep watching, and look at it when the Beijing pay is settled in May."

"Understandable."

"You have handled these matters very tactfully. The king asked you to take over Meng Zhongxian's class, and he did not misunderstand the person. Work hard in the Zhenfu Department, and you will benefit in the future."

Tang Ning raised her head two inches, and under Lian Xin's eyebrows was a pair of wild goose eyes, small but focused, "Being appointed by the prince Long En, I was terrified of the lowly position and didn't dare to say anything good. I just tried my best to do what the prince asked me to do. willingly."

Qi She reached into the collar of the mink's claw mud, pinched the back of her neck a little tiredly, and the old wound was throbbing with pain. "It's good to have this kind of heart, that's enough, I'll be here today."

"My lord," Tang Ning stepped forward, her expression was completely different from the restrained and calm look she had just now, "I even brought two people here for my lord today."

"Who?" Qi She asked casually.

Tangning pretended to be mysterious and said, "The person is next door, please move your lord."

The two came to the hall separated by a wall, and Qi She felt his eyes brighten as soon as he entered the door. He saw two beautifully decorated girls standing on the wall like coral and jade trees.He frowned, but also smiled at the same time, turned his face to look at Tangning, and stretched out his arms to point to the other side.

Tangning immediately laughed and said, "Since the concubine passed away last year, the lord has never had anyone he likes. These two girls are sex-eyed people recruited from the Western Regions by a low-level entrusted person. They have been trained by a special person and can speak Chinese. He also knows boudoir etiquette, can sing and dance well, is well-behaved and sensible, and it won’t be abominable to stay in the palace to serve." After speaking, he turned his head and shook his hand, "You all go a few steps forward."
