farmer's husband

Chapter 696 Unspoken tacit understanding
When the dossier was sent to the emperor, the emperor was already angry once.

Seeing that the matter had come to this point now, he was even more furious, and immediately called King Qin over and scolded him severely.

King Qin was scolded bloody, and was called over by the imperial concubine the moment he left the imperial study.

"Tell me, why do you ask your subordinates to do such things? The method of raising silkworms in four seasons was developed by the Princess of the Northern Kingdom and the King of Liang. They have already made a name for themselves in the north with this thing." Now that the promotion is almost done in the north, it is only natural for them to go to the south to promote it. This peach cannot be picked, and the credit cannot be taken away! You have always been a smart boy, but why did you make a mistake in this matter? Are you stupid?" The imperial concubine cursed again.

King Qin was extremely wronged.

"Mother and concubine, this matter is really not something that Erchen asked people to do! Yes, Erchen is dissatisfied with Gu's ability to take advantage of the north, and then go to the south to harvest people's hearts. But, son Chen also knew in his heart that her fate was good, and if she had researched this thing, then it would be hers, and anyone who was full and wanted to snatch it from her would be looking for a dead end! So from the beginning to the end, the son Chen did not give birth to the child. Is it okay to have such a thought?"

"It's really not you?" A look of astonishment appeared on the face of the imperial concubine.

King Qin nodded firmly. "It's really not Erchen. How could Erchen be so stupid to do such a thing?"

"Then, is it true that the magistrate made his own decision? But, he has already achieved the position of magistrate, so he shouldn't be a fool after all. How could he act so stupidly?" The imperial concubine couldn't understand.

Qin Wang's lips had already raised a sneer. "Of course he's not a fool. The real fools are ourselves! I'm also really stupid, why didn't I even notice that my own person was kidnapped by others!"

The imperial concubine's eyes immediately darkened. "You mean..."

"Mother, do you need to talk about this? Since we didn't do this, it must have been watched over there. That woman is insidious and cunning, why can't she do it? She already hated Gu Shi to the bone Now, if Mrs. Gu is really beaten to death by the people in the south, she will be so happy to clap her hands!" King Qin sneered.

The imperial concubine also immediately gasped.

"This woman is really ruthless, she can do such a thing!"

Immediately she held her head up again. "She did this to get revenge on me, right? Well, this time, she won. But, it's just a small victory, and I will make her look good next time!"

But as soon as she finished speaking, she saw a court lady rushing in.

The imperial concubine was already upset right now, but when she heard the chaotic footsteps and saw the timid behavior of this court lady, her eyes turned cold. "Okay, what are you in a hurry for?"

The maid hurriedly knelt down. "I report to the imperial concubine, and to His Royal Highness the King of Qin. The servants just got the news: just now, Chai Yushi has written a letter to the emperor, bluntly saying that the officials in the south are corrupt, and people's hearts are fluctuating. They must be cleaned up again. The emperor has agreed!"

"What did you say!"

The imperial concubine immediately slapped the table and stood up.

King Qin's face also became very ugly.

"He's really getting faster and faster." King Qin said in a deep voice, "Besides, he kept saying that he wanted to purge the officials, but he actually wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of the people we buried in the south, right? By the way, he also vented his anger on that woman! This Chai, he really hasn't forgotten that woman!"

There was also a icy coldness in the eyes of the imperial concubine. "He is indeed quick. But fortunately, the south is not his territory, the northwest is. If he wants to extend his hand to the south now, he must have that ability!"

When King Qin heard this, he was relieved. "Mother, what you said is true. Just now, I was thinking too much."

"It's not that you think too much, but that you have dealt with Chai Dong for too long and know his abilities too well, that's why you are like this. However, can't he see if he is sincere or selfish when he is the emperor? How could the emperor give him such great power?" The imperial concubine smiled lightly and shook her head.

But at the end, she still cursed softly: "This pug who can only bite people!"

I don't know whether she is scolding Chai Dong or Concubine Chai.

really.

Although the emperor approved Chai Dong's memorial, Chai Dong was not among those who were sent to the south to purge the officialdom.Even among Chai Dong's disciples, only two juniors were selected, and they were called to follow the big team to study.

Chai Dong didn't care about it either.It seemed that he really just couldn't stand what that person did, and out of concern for the country and the people, he wrote the letter angrily.Now, since the emperor had granted his request, he immediately sent people to take action. He was satisfied, so he no longer pursued the matter.

But is this really the case?
With a creak, Li Xiaozi quietly pushed open the study door.

"Father." He came to Chai Dong.

Chai Dong didn't raise his head. "What's up?"

"The news came from the south that Mother and younger sister have already taught the local people and started to move to the next place. The younger brothers and younger sisters are also alive and kicking, but Mother has been ordering them to restrain them and never let them run around. "

"Those two lawless little guys, they really should be taken care of." Chai Dong nodded, "This time it was a fluke, and they escaped smoothly. But people live a lifetime, and it is impossible to be lucky all the time."

"That's right!" Li Xiaozi also breathed out, "Now, the people sent out by the Ministry of Officials are also following Mother's footsteps all the way. Wherever Mother and sister go, they will go there, saying that they will first send the officials in those places to Clean it up and talk about it.”

"Well, that's good." Chai Dong nodded.

Li Xiaozi lowered his head again. "After finishing talking, my boy will leave."

Chai Dong nodded his head.

Hearing the sound of his son's leaving footsteps, Chai Dong raised his head again, and the corners of his lips twitched. "Gu Chunzhi, it's up to you next."

Ah Choo!Ah Choo!
Harue sneezed several times.

"Mother, are you catching a cold?" When girl Pan saw her, she hurriedly brought Chun Zhi a cup of hot tea.

Chunzhi took a sip of tea and nodded when she felt her body warmed up. "It should be! I have been living in the north for these years, and I am used to the dry and cold climate there. Now I suddenly come to the south for the winter, and I really can't stand the wet and cold environment."

Although she grew up in the south, she has lived in the north for more than ten years, and her body has adapted to the northern climate.So when she came to the south this time, she felt uncomfortable in various ways.As they went south, the humidity in the air increased, and Chunzhi couldn't stand it anymore.

No, she caught a cold.

"Since you've caught a cold, you should just take a rest!" Pan girl said, "The people under my command have already mastered the basics of silkworm rearing in four seasons, and it's just a matter of making some adjustments when I come here now. You don't have to worry about it, I'll just watch them do their work!"

Chun Zhi also nodded. "Okay, listen to you."

Pan girl put her to lie down, and then hurried out by herself.

However, Chunzhi didn't lie down quietly for a long time before someone came to visit her again.

The person who came here was one of the officials of the Ministry of Punishment who was ordered by the emperor to purge the officials in the south, and his name was He Wei.

He Wei respectfully saluted Chun Zhi: "I have seen the princess of the Northern Kingdom."

Chunzhi nodded. "Master He is free of courtesy. It's not just why you came to me today?"

"Princess Qi, in the past two days, I have visited all the officials here, and roughly figured out everything about them. Now the relevant documents are here, please have a look."

Chun Zhi raised an eyebrow. "This is a matter for your officials. You can solve it yourself. Why are you looking for me? I don't care about these things."

"But before leaving, the emperor repeatedly told the minister, saying that you have come here, princess, and you have had a lot of contact with the local officials. You must have a certain understanding of them. Therefore, when necessary, the subordinate officials can also come to ask you for advice. .” He Wei still had such a cautious expression.

Before he left the capital, that incident was still in the capital, and many literati and students stood up to support her.It can be seen from this that the princess of the Northern Kingdom is very popular now, and of course he will please her as long as he can please her.

When Chun Zhi heard this, she also nodded. "If that's the case, then show me!"

He Wei hurriedly sent over the roster.

Chunzhi flipped through it briefly, and she pointed to a person named Hu Shang on the roster: "I think this person is very good."

He Wei quickly wrote it down.

That's what Harue said.But one sentence will suffice.

After all, if this person is good, it means that no one else can compare to him!Then, if he doesn't move this person, he will praise him a few more words in the report to the emperor. This is the best explanation to the princess of the North Kingdom.As for the others... a little bit of movement is fine.

And by coincidence, this Hu Shang is from Sanjiang Province, a fellow villager of Chunzhi and Chaidong.
