The first thousand one hundred and sixty-six chapters please sin
In the morning, Chen Qing was about to go out to inspect the warehouse. Suddenly, soldiers came to report, and Zhe Yan came to plead guilty.
Chen Qing was startled, what's going on?
He walked out of the hall quickly and saw Orihiko kneeling outside the hall with his upper body naked and a few thorn sticks on his back.
"Captain Zhe, what's going on? Get up quickly!"
Zhe Yanzhi burst into tears and said: "I got a son in my old age. I was afraid of losing the child, so I hid it from the governor. Unexpectedly, it almost led to a catastrophe. I can't live up to your highness's trust!"
Chen Qing nodded, "I have seen and accepted your apology. Now put your clothes on and we will go to the hall to talk."
He winked at the soldiers, and two soldiers stepped forward to help him up, took off the thorn sticks, and took off their coats to put on him.
Zhe Yanzhi wiped away his tears and followed Chen Qing to the lobby. Chen Qing waved his hand and said with a smile, "Please sit down. If you have anything to do, sit down and talk slowly."
Zhe Yanzhi sat down silently, and the soldiers came in and served tea. Chen Qing glanced at him and said indifferently: "What is it that makes Governor Zhe so excited?"
Zhe Yanzhi sighed and said: "The humble post hid the secret from the military department and also from His Highness. The humble post gave birth to a son."
Chen Qing laughed and said, "This is a good thing! Congratulations to the Governor for having a son in his later years. The Governor must treat us and don't even think about escaping."
Zhe Yanzhi said with a face full of shame: "My humble position is that of a border vassal, shouldn't I report to the military headquarters?"
Chen Qing smiled and said: "Of course you have to report to the military headquarters. This is a rule. Even if you don't report, the military headquarters will come and ask you. But... Governor Zhe may have some misunderstandings about the time of the report."
"Don't you understand, humble position?"
Chen Qing continued: "The military regulations stipulate that when a son is twelve years old, he must go to Beijing to study, and his mother can accompany him. In other words, the military will not issue an ultimatum to ask you until your son is twelve years old.
According to the arrangements for your son to go to Beijing, the military will not interfere until he is twelve years old. As for the preparation time, the military regulations stipulate that it must be at least two years in advance. In other words, the child must be prepared when he is ten years old at the earliest. You are preparing now
, the military department will not pay attention to you."
Chen Qing gave Zheyanzhi a face. Although the military department stipulated this, it did not mean that Zheyanzhi could hide it. Especially from himself, he should report it to himself in time instead of letting other officials secretly complain.
After all, Zhe Yanzhi was sixty years old and understood the world. Of course, he understood that Chen Qing was trying to give him face. The rules were rules, but things had to be done in order to show loyalty, and he failed to do so.
"Thank you for your tolerance, Your Highness. I am extremely ashamed of my humble position!"
"I won't mention this anymore. It's better for you to say it yourself than for me to ask you, but what happened today that made you so rude?"
Zhe Yanzhi hesitated for a moment and glanced at the soldiers on both sides. Chen Qing waved his hand and told the soldiers to get down.
Zhe Yanzhi sighed and told Chen Qing in detail what happened from yesterday to today.
He finally said secretly: "It's really embarrassing. I beg Your Highness to save some face for your humble position and not to tell anyone."
Chen Qing found it unbelievable that there are such strange things in the world. However, the woman's surname is Yang and not Du, which really makes people feel better. The question is, is the child Zheyan's kidnapping?
It is not impossible to give birth to a child at the age of sixty, but this is rare, especially now. I am afraid that it is more likely that it will be the child of Du Shun.
Zhe Yanzhi knew what Chen Qing was thinking? He sighed and said, "My concubine told me that Du Shun was unable to have children. Du Shun had no children even after several years of marriage. I just went to Baohe Hall to ask the famous doctor Luo Zhifu. He said
Tell me, Du Shun was infertile because he indulged in too much sex when he was young. Du Shun has been receiving treatment from him, but it has no effect so far. Besides..."
Zheyanzhi then said slowly: "Besides, when I picked up the child, I could feel that he was my son. This feeling was wonderful, as if it was a blood connection between father and son, so I was sure that he was my son.
.”
Chen Qing nodded, "Then what do you plan to do with his mother?"
Zhe Yanzhi smiled bitterly and said: "Originally I wanted to kill her, but when she hugged my legs and begged me not to kill the child, I realized that I am afraid that no other woman can truly love me as much as she does.
My son, if I unfortunately die of illness ten years later and my son is only ten years old, will other women raise him as their own flesh and blood? As for other aspects, she is just my concubine, not my wife.
Don’t really care.”
Chen Qing nodded. Although he could not accept this kind of cheating, Zheyanzhi could tolerate it as the person involved, so what does it have to do with him?
But Chen Qing changed his mind again, this is a good thing! He was still thinking about how to persuade Zheyanzhi not to interfere in government affairs. This incident happened at a critical moment, which destroyed Zheyanzhi's ability to interfere in government affairs from within, but it was not enough.
He must strike while the iron is hot and completely eliminate the idea of Zheyanzhi interfering in politics.
Chen Qing thought for a while and then said: "Normally, this is your housework, and I shouldn't interfere, but I also conducted some visits in the past two days and learned that Du Shun was a rogue in the past, and he couldn't even read a thousand-character essay.
, has worked as a thug in a brothel for five years, has a low character, and does all kinds of evil, but he was recommended by you as the Datong County Lieutenant. In addition, your staff Li Bailing was the chief registrar of Yi County in Yanshan Prefecture three years ago, and used various methods to get around.
When he comes to you and becomes your confidant, you may never have thought that he would be a spy of the Jin Kingdom."
Zhe Yanzhi's face turned pale, and his lips trembled as he said, "Li Bailing is a spy of the Jin Kingdom? No way!"
Chen Qingdan said: "There is no word 'Jin Guo spy' written on his face, and he himself will not confess to you that he is a Jin Guo spy. Since you use him as your chief staff, have you ever investigated him?
What’s the details?”
Zheyan was speechless. Li Bailing just told him that he was from Yingzhou, failed the imperial examination, and then made a living by teaching. He believed it. He really didn't send anyone to verify his resume, just because he introduced him.
He gave birth to a son to his concubine, and out of repayment he promoted him to be his chief staff officer.
Zhe Yanzhi lowered his head in shame. If Li Bailing was really an official of Yanshan Mansion, he would be in big trouble.
"What did he do around you? I probably either persuaded you to hide from the court, or encouraged you to confront the local officials, making you trapped in a kind of intrigue all day long. I'm not wrong!"
Zhe Yanzhi nodded, "Your Highness is right, I only see it clearly now."
Chen Qing stared at him for a long time and said: "Captain Zhe, you should continue to focus on military affairs in the future! It is not only the security of Datong Mansion, but also the security of the entire Hebei North Road. Security is your scope of authority. In terms of government affairs, there are local officials and the Internal Affairs Bureau.
Responsible, do you understand what I mean?"
Zhe Yanzhi nodded, "I understand!"
Of course he understood that this was because King Yong had made it clear that he was not allowed to interfere in government affairs. He sighed. After struggling for so long, he finally found out that he had been deceived by a traitor, which really made him frustrated.
Chen Qing smiled slightly and said: "Since he is his son, you should spend more time with him. The specific military affairs can be handed over to your subordinates. You must train young people and let them take up the leading positions as soon as possible. Then you can retire and have an honor."
Get a higher job, take care of your health at home, live as long as possible, and raise your son to grow up. This is your last important responsibility, am I right?"
Zhe Yanzhi nodded, "I understand what Your Highness means. General Yan is indeed very good, smart, capable, and generous. I will definitely train him as soon as possible and let him take on the responsibility of guarding the North Gate as soon as possible."
Both parties made it clear that Chen Qing would not give Zheyan much more time to confront him. After all, he was old. He sent Yan Jun to Datong Mansion as a deputy general, who was preparing to take Zheyan to confront him.
Orihiko also understood that since he still had two or three years left, why bother fighting for political power?
