With a round face, big copper bell eyes, a nose with lees, and two whiskers, this is the honor of Ruan Xiaojiu, the little flag in brocade clothes.
At this moment, he was standing respectfully in front of Ji Gang, reporting some of Xia Xun's actions after returning to Beijing.
Ji Gang leaned on the Grand Master's chair and sat lazily. His eyes seemed slightly closed, but he looked like a fierce tiger taking a nap. He was still majestic. At least an official of Ruan Xiaojiu's level would not dare to glance in front of him.
After hearing Ruan Xiaojiu's report, Ji Gang smiled coldly and suddenly asked: "How is Yu Shiji now?"
Ruan Xiaojiu said hurriedly: "I have also met the driver, and the emperor praised him very much. Chen Ying of the Imperial Procuratorate has already commended him for his merits. Now there is a rumor from the Ministry of Civil Affairs. It is said that Yu Shiji will soon be promoted to the imperial envoy of the capital.
."
Ji Gang snorted coldly.
Chang Yinglin sent people to Beijing to ask for help. Ji Gang also did something after hearing the news. What he did was to invite Xia Xun to a drink and take the initiative to get close to him. In his position, no one wanted to offend him. He did
For this reason, it's enough. And there are some things that don't need to be made clear. If Xia Xun cares about him, he will naturally know what to do.
Let him wipe Chang Yinglin's butt, Mr. Ji is too lazy now.
He received money from Chang Yinglin, but now there are so many officials giving money to him, Mr. Ji. Does anyone dare to ask him for a receipt? There is no basis for it. With the degree of favor he has, he is not afraid of Chang Yinglin.
Yinglin tried to bite him, but it was always a pity to lose a way to make money, so he, Mr. Ji, reluctantly did the thing he least wanted to do right now, nodding and bowing in front of others, trying to please.
First, he had to ease the tense relationship so that he could come forward if something really happened. At that time, he was still not sure that Chang Yinglin would be found out. How could he be stupid enough to go to Xia Xun first?
He hinted that he was here to provide disaster relief. When passing by Huzhou Prefecture, he must turn a blind eye?
Originally, in his mind, Chang Yinglin could still handle the matter. He would repair the relationship with Xia Xun first to prepare for the emergency, and Chang Yinglin would plug the loopholes. If he couldn't find out, he would save himself.
Go and talk nonsense in front of Xia Xun, and then mediate with Xia Xun if something really happens. Who would have thought that Chang Yinglin would be so greedy that he would give up his life rather than his wealth.
Perhaps one of the main reasons why Chang Yinglin did this was because he believed too much in his ability.
Ji Gang was confident that he also had this ability. The reason why he did nothing in the end was because at this time he suddenly received news from Chen Yunan from Shandong: "The Peng family may have something to do with the White Lotus Sect!"
Once this matter is implemented, not only will he be more trusted by the emperor, but also...
This is because Chang Yinglin has done many evil things and needs to be punished by heaven. How can Ji Gang give up greater interests for such a useless guy?
He didn't want the emperor to know that he was fighting with the Metropolitan Procuratorate over his corrupt official cousin-in-law, who was at odds with the Duke of Fuguo. He also didn't want Xia Xun to know that he cared about this matter, so he told Xia Xun to be careful. Although Ji Gang is now very a little bit
He was defiant, but he was still a bit vague towards Xia Xun. If Xia Xun realized that he was hostile to him, the handle would probably slip out of his hands.
In order to pull off Xia Xun's pigtails, and to prevent the emperor from thinking that this was a public revenge against him when the report came out in the future, but that he was loyal to the law and killed his "relatives" in a righteous way, he tearfully reported to the old man with whom he had a close relationship and a very good friendship.
Boss, what's the point of just Chang Yinglin?
For this reason, he not only stood by and ignored Chang Yinglin, but also destroyed all evidence that could lead to Chang Yinglin trying to bite him. However, in this regard, he was too cautious, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate had no intention of using the opportunity to bite him.
Just because one of Chang Yinglin's cousins was taken as a concubine by Ji Gang, they accused the emperor of being a big influence in conniving and instigating Chang Yinglin's corruption without any basis?
If Chen Ying's political quality is so naive, how can he be qualified to be Ji Gang's opponent, how can he be qualified to be a thorn in the side of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty?
A ruthless official like him has no room for mistakes. If he makes a mistake, a bunch of people will immediately come to beat him up.
Yu Shiji was also worried that Ji Gang had too much energy. Chang Yinglin would not only be unable to deal with Ji Gang, but if he asked Ji Gang to use the "drag" trick again, big things would be delayed and small things would be delayed. He would wait until the weather is calm before getting Chang Yinglin out as well.
He was so confused that before the imperial edict came down, he mobilized the masses and asked Xia Xun to sacrifice the king's flag.
After Ruan Xiaojiu finished speaking, he looked at Ji Gang blankly.
Ji Gang thought carefully for a long time and said slowly: "Yang Xu must go to Shandong for the funeral when he returns to Beijing. I have ordered the people there to act quickly. If necessary, arrest the people on the podium first and torture them about their identities."
, As for the Peng family... they should not act rashly until they have real evidence. If they do not have strong evidence before Yang Xu arrives in Qingzhou, they will all go underground and cannot be controlled by them!"
What Ji Gang wants to deal with is not an ordinary official who can do whatever he wants. If Xia Xun catches him before he gets the conclusive evidence, he will be very passive. In this game, both sides have interests.
fear.
Ruan Xiaojiu responded and looked at Ji Gang again to see if he had any other instructions.
Ji Gang yawned lazily and asked again: "Tomorrow, the King of Han will be vassal, right?"
Ruan Xiaojiu replied hurriedly and respectfully: "Yes, tomorrow is the deadline for the King of Han to leave the capital."
Ji Gang smiled and waved his hand gently.

Early the next morning, Xia Xun did not go to court because he had received the emperor's order. He explained to Zheng He and several officials from the Ministry of Industry that he was planning to summon people from the disaster area to Beijing to participate in the construction of the Great Baoen Temple, and asked them to go there in detail.
After handling the matter, he hurried back home to prepare for his trip to Shandong.
Last time Peng Ziqi left in a hurry and didn't bring anything with him. She was the daughter of the Peng family, so it didn't matter if she was empty-handed. He was the uncle and the Duke of the country, so it would be outrageous not to prepare some gifts. Fortunately, Ming'er had bought many for him.
Things were prepared at home, and there were not many things to buy. Although Xia Xun was anxious, he only delayed it for half a day, but he could bear it.
Inside the palace, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaosui had just returned to Jinshen Hall, and Zhu Di was quite unhappy.
Today is the deadline for Zhu Gaoxu to resign from Beijing and go to Yunnan to become a vassal. Zhu Di also carefully prepared gifts and words of comfort for his son. He wanted to wait for his son to go to the palace to resign, but it turned out... Zhu Gaoxu didn't go to the palace at all.
Mr. Mian.
Zhu Gaosui is the prince and usually does not have to go to court to see him off. Today is the big day for his second brother to leave Beijing, so he also goes to court to see him off. As a result...
"Does Xu'er actually hold a grudge against me?" Zhu Di became more and more depressed the more he thought about it.
At this time, Mu En walked in quietly and whispered: "Your Majesty, the King of Han wants to see you!"
When Zhu Di heard this, he said angrily: "Tell that unscrupulous man to get out!"
Mu En said in embarrassment: "The King of Han... seems to have not recovered yet. He was supported by two servants of the Han Dynasty. The servants looked at it, and it was very difficult for the King of Han to walk..."
"Oh? Xu'er's health hasn't improved yet?"
Zhu Di's anger immediately dissipated and he hurriedly said: "Hurry up and ask him to come in."
After a while, Zhu Gaoxu asked someone to help him and walked in tremblingly.
Zhu Gaoxu listened to Chen Ying's words and knew that family ties were his only trump card now, so he really worked hard.
The food is definitely not good, he can't sleep well, his beard is not trimmed, and his hair is not combed properly. His hair is fluffy, his beard is messy, his eye sockets are deep, and his cheeks are sunken. He used to be a handsome warrior, but now he is sick.
It's as uncomfortable as if it falls over when the wind blows.
Zhu Di felt sour when he saw it, and said hurriedly: "Come on, show your seat to the King of Han!"
Zhu Gaochi hurriedly greeted Zhu Gaoxu, took his arm from the young chamberlain, supported him, and asked with concern: "Why is my second brother so sick?"
Zhu Gaoxu broke away from the support of Zhu Gaochi and the young chamberlain, knelt on the ground with a "porch", crawled two steps forward, hugged Zhu Di's thigh, and cried loudly: "Father..."
Zhu Di's eyes were a little moist, and he hurriedly bent down to help him: "Xu'er, get up quickly, get up quickly, it's been so long, how come you are still so sick? The imperial doctor of the Han Dynasty deserves to die, such a serious illness, how can you be so sick?"
How dare you not report this to your father! Since Xu'er's health is not yet well, then... let's rest in the capital for some more time!"
Zhu Gaoxu said with tears in his eyes: "Father, I have thought about it repeatedly at home these days. Today I am ill and I am going to the palace to see my father. I just want to ask my father for a word!"
Zhu Di said: "Get up first and speak slowly."
Zhu Gaoxu refused to get up and cried: "Father, my son feels so wronged. My son has repeatedly reflected on himself and feels that he is innocent of the country. Why was he sent thousands of miles away by his father? My son is not convinced!"
Zhu Di's face stiffened and he said slightly angrily: "Xu'er, what are you talking about? My father named you the King of Han and asked you to guard Yunnan. It was to guard the country for the sake of the country. It was because of the country's barriers. How could you be demoted to exile?"
?”
Zhu Gaoxu knelt down and cried: "Yunnan is a smoggy land with high mountains and dangerous roads. My son has lived in the north for a long time. How can he adapt to such a poor life? Today, my son only asks for forgiveness from his father, and he does not want to be a feudal country. From now on
I have nothing to do with government affairs or world affairs, I just want to be an idle prince in the city of Jinling, but I hope I can stay by my father, the emperor and my queen, that is enough!"
"this……"
Zhu Gaoxu kowtowed and cried: "If the father does not agree, the son will go on the road immediately. He just asks the father to prepare a thin coffin for the son first!"
Zhu Di was surprised: "Why is this?"
Zhu Gaoxu said sadly: "I'm afraid that my son will die before he reaches Yunnan..."
Zhu Gaochi looked on, seeing his brother say this, his fat face had turned red. Looking at his father's face again, Zhu Gaochi gritted his teeth, knelt upright in front of Zhu Di, and said sincerely: "Father, have mercy.
Just comply with my second brother’s request and let him stay in the capital!”
Xie Jin was busy in Wenyuan Pavilion when he suddenly heard the news. He couldn't help being shocked and angry, and said angrily: "The King of Han refuses to leave the capital? The prince actually begged for mercy on his behalf?"
Yang Shiqi, who came to deliver the letter, said helplessly: "The elder did not know that the King of Han was ill and in miserable condition. The emperor could no longer bear it. Even if the prince did not plead for him, the emperor would definitely agree. If the prince stood aside and turned a deaf ear, wouldn't he be letting him go?"
Your Majesty thinks the Prince has a cold nature?"
Xie Jin said angrily: "If the King of Han doesn't leave, the world will be uneasy! The prince is the brother of the King of Han. It's not convenient for him to say it, so I'll say it!"
After Xie Jin said that, he ignored Yang Shiqi's dissuasion and rushed to Jinshen Hall in a hurry!
p: The enemy soldiers are getting closer and closer. I only have a bald pen in my hand. Let’s continue to code, defend our position, and repel the enemy’s attack. I leave it to you all!
