Chapter 145: Chasing and killing in the capital! I am not called Wei!
Li Yuan actually said that?
Li Qian's eyes narrowed and he thought about his intentions.
Safe, safe... Is it really safe, or do you have other ideas?
Li Qian looked at the civil officials again. Except for Heshen's party, most officials still did not support this matter.
For Yan Dang, if He Shen can come back, Yan Song will be the only imperial envoy left in the disaster area, which is a good thing.
And Qin Hui's attitude was a bit ambiguous for some unknown reason...
Does he know that he asked Lu Bu to beat his son?
Li Qian frowned. Even if he knew, Qin Hui's character shouldn't show off in such a thing, right?
Besides, it was Qin Xi who initiated the incident...
Putting aside this unrealistic idea, Li Qian looked at the many eager civil servants. If he continued to ask questions, he might lose control.
He thought for a moment and said slowly: "Last night I received a report from the new Longxi County Governor Gao Shilian."
Li Qian looked at the front, where Cai Jing, who was wearing a red robe and remained silent, said, "Yesterday, someone informed Cai Qing's family. I wonder what Cai Qing's family wants?"
In fact, Li Qian also knew that Gao Shilian sent him a memorial and also sent a secret letter to Cai Jing.
Now he is asking Cai Jing for his opinion, just for show.
All the officials were startled, why did they suddenly get involved in this matter again?
Qin Hui suddenly frowned.
Could it be that the emperor and Cai Jing had any previous conspiracy?
Cai Jing was silent for a moment, then stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that what Gao Shilian said is a well-thought-out strategy and is very feasible."
"good."
Li Qian stood up directly and said: "Then according to this plan, the confiscated Song Min's family property in Longxi, plus some of the property confessed by Song Min himself, will be transferred to the public house and sent to Longxi to purchase money and grain to replenish the Changping warehouse. "
The focus is still on the latter, the property that Song Min confessed himself.
Gao Shilian has just been in Longxi for a few days, he can find out anything!
The original intention of this method was to let Song Min spend money to buy his life.
Although Li Qian is unwilling to admit it, he has to say that in today's Daqian, human life has a price.
From the Hu slaves transported from the Western Market to the displaced victims, the families of officials whose homes were confiscated...
Every human life has its price.
People like Song Min must have a price in the hearts of the officials in the court.
Especially here in Cai Jing.
Recently, Cai Jing has encountered setbacks one after another, and he needs Song Min as a banner to show outsiders his determination to preserve his party members.
"Demoted Song Min to the sixth rank and ordered him to be transferred to other places. We will observe the effect and then reward and punish him."
Li Qian thought for a while and added: "You are not allowed to serve as a local official again."
"I accept the decree." Cai Jing breathed a sigh of relief.
With the emperor's temperament, he was prepared to demote Song Min to a commoner.
No matter what, as long as you can save your life.
But I didn't expect that the little emperor actually left a hint and didn't do it so brilliantly.
This made Cai Jing's thoughts slightly change...
He bowed and said: "Having Da Qian as a benevolent king like your majesty is truly a blessing to thousands of people. I would like to express my gratitude to your majesty on behalf of the guilty minister Song Min. This man will definitely change his mind in the future and repay your majesty for your forgiveness."
"Your Majesty's benevolence will surely leave a mark in history and be praised for thousands of years."
"good."
Li Qian smiled and nodded, as if he had really seen such a day: "In this case, let's retreat from the court!"
After saying that, he left in a hurry. Even the old eunuch beside him didn't react. After he regained his senses, he hurriedly followed.
All the officials were dumbfounded. What is going on?
The Song Min case, which has been involved for so long, is over like this?
Directly demote him to the sixth level? If the county guard of the fourth grade is demoted to the sixth level, wouldn't that mean he is the seventh grade?
This is not a bad punishment. On the one hand, it is better than beating him to the bottom, but on the other hand... the fourth grade is reduced to the seventh grade. Years of hard work are in vain. Not only is the official position empty, but also to avoid disaster.
Moreover, Song Min has received special "favor" from the emperor since then, and it will probably be even more difficult for him to rise further.
Cai Jing was also a little confused. When he came to his senses, Li Qian had long disappeared from the Qianyang Palace.
"The discussion on Heshen hasn't been finished yet..." Cai Jing looked at the empty dragon chair with a strange expression.
When all the courtiers heard this, they were stunned.
you do not say!
Just as he was talking about that matter, His Majesty changed the subject and suddenly mentioned Song Min's matter. After speaking, he ran away without even having time to stop him!
What to do now?
The courtiers looked at each other, what kind of thing is riding on a horse?
If it was something else, they would discuss it directly and make a decision.
But this is He Shen's business.
Without the emperor's banner, who can stop him as an imperial envoy? Who can call him back?
You can tell with your butt that that damn fat guy will definitely not be obedient!
Is it possible to send someone to call His Majesty the Emperor back?
The ministers' eyes were wandering, not knowing who to approach to handle this matter.
"The court is over! The court is over!"
Wu Shenglan, the right minister of the Ministry of Personnel, suddenly smiled and walked out of Qianyang Palace. As he walked, he looked at the other ministers curiously: "Ah? Colleagues? What's going on? Why don't you leave?"
"Didn't His Majesty say that the court will be dismissed?"
After his words, many of the party members suddenly came to their senses and hurriedly wanted to retreat.
Su Ling'a followed Wu Shenglan carelessly: "I haven't eaten anything this morning. Old Wu, where will you go to eat later?"
"Where else should we go to eat? Just let someone buy it and take it to the Yamen before leaving!"
Wu Shenglan smiled and shook her head: "We people are all working hard, and we can't even spare the time to eat."
Su Ling'a said in a loud voice: "There is nothing we can do. For the sake of the people of Daqian, it's okay for us to be busy."
"The matters in the yamen are still important. If we delay for a while, the people will suffer for another year!"
"That's right." Wu Shenglan also said with a smile: "When you are an official, you have to have a conscience. You can't delay your time in the Yamen. You have to do things for the people..."
The two of them smiled and walked away, but the other ministers were so angry that their teeth itched.
Damn it, who are you trying to bully?
But now that all the ministers have left, it is impossible to call the emperor back.
The remaining civil servants looked at each other and sighed in unison.
What kind of dynasty is this called?
With such an emperor and such a group of colleagues, how can we manage the cadres well?
The ministers in scarlet robes walked out of the majestic Qianyang Palace in twos and threes. Qin Hui, accompanied by several Zhongshu officials, slowly came to the duty room of Wenyuan Pavilion.
"Father." Qin Xi was waiting in the check-in room and hurriedly said hello when Qin Hui came in.
"Um?"
Qin Hui looked at him in surprise: "Where have you been these past few days? Why haven't I seen you?"
Qin Xi was well prepared and hurriedly replied: "Cousin Zhou Lei has just been released from prison and is a little weak. My aunt is too busy, so my mother asked me to help them."
Qin Hui nodded slightly, and just as he was about to look away, he frowned: "What's going on on your face?"
"Ah?" Qin Xi was startled: "What face? What happened to my face?"
He reached out and touched his face, as if he really didn't know what was wrong with it.
Qin Hui looked at it carefully again and then shook his head: "My father made a mistake just now."
Qin Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Hui walked behind the desk and sat down, but the door to the check-in room was suddenly knocked. He frowned slightly, and Qin Xi hurriedly walked to the door and opened it.
The person who knocked on the door was a eunuch in green clothes. He looked at Qin Hui with some anxiety and said: "Prime Minister Qin, your Majesty has invited you to the political affairs hall."
Qin Hui was startled, then stood up again, with a somewhat surprised look on his face.
"Let's go."
In the political hall, Li Qian looked at Qin Hui in front of him, thinking about his words.
I called Qin Hui here today not because of his attitude in today's court meeting, but because of the matter of promoting Li Gefei.
Since he is a relative of Qin Hui, it would be good to sell Qin Hui a favor when he is promoted.
"Prime Minister Qin."
Li Qian stood up slowly and said with a smile: "When I was studying a few days ago, I accidentally read an article called "The Theory of Pomo Addiction". The writing is vigorous and vigorous, and it criticizes the current ills. It is quite impressive."
Qin Hui:??
With a smile on his face, Li Qian continued: "The most touching thing among them is the sentence, 'The reason why a scorpion cannot be turned into jade, and the reason why fish eyes cannot be turned into pearls, is because of its different uses. '."
Qin Hui was startled when he heard this, and after thinking for a moment, he replied: "Your Majesty's words are quite recognized by me. Materials are inherently gifted and difficult to change."
"For example, Song Min, the former governor of Longxi County, is a corrupt official. No matter where he is placed, it will be difficult to change his character."
Li Qian was startled, then smiled nonchalantly, and continued: "That makes sense. I will keep an eye on Song Min. If he is still so bold..."
Halfway through his words, he stopped abruptly, and Li Qian said again: "However, after I read "The Theory of Pomo Pavilion", I discovered that its author is a doctor of imperial education from the Imperial College."
He said with emotion: "For such a talented person, I think it is a pity that he is buried in the Imperial College. It is better to promote him higher up."
Qin Hui was a little dizzy and could not follow His Majesty the Emperor's thoughts.
I originally thought that what he said about the reason why 甔熆 cannot be made into jade was about Song Min today, but I didn't expect that his topic changed and he came to the author again?
Can you please speak more plainly?
Li Qian looked at Qin Hui with a smile and agreed when he saw him: "What your Majesty said is absolutely true."
"If Dr. Taixue is transferred, the Sixth Department Yuanwailang would be a good place to go. I wonder what your Majesty would like?"
"I'm also here to ask for your thoughts!"
Li Qian smiled and said: "On that day, I asked someone to inquire, and then I found out that this doctor has some relationship with you, Prime Minister Qin."
Qin Hui was stunned for a moment.
However, Li Qian unhurriedly picked up the yellow porcelain tea cup on the table and took a sip: "This "The Theory of Pomo Addiction" was written by Li Gefei, a doctor of Taixue."
"Prime Minister Qin, you should know this person, right?"
Qin Hui was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses. The hand hidden in his sleeve had already been squeezed subconsciously. However, he still suppressed the excitement in his heart and replied: "Your Majesty, this is the elder of my wife and my elder. I know you."
Li Qian smiled and said: "Then which movie do you think would be better for him to become a foreign actor?"
Qin Hui's influence in the outer court has never been very strong. Li Qian felt that if he gave him a chance and asked him to make his own choice, he would not miss it.
Sure enough, Qin Hui calmed down, thought for a moment, and replied: "I dare not comment on the appointment of my elders, but today, your Majesty asked me, and I have no choice but to answer."
"My uncle likes to be quiet and quiet. He only likes to read and write. I think that the Ministry of Rites is the most suitable for his personality and to serve His Majesty."
Ministry of Rites?
This choice was beyond Li Qian's expectation.
He originally thought that Qin Hui would choose the most important official department, or the household department in charge of finance, but he didn't expect that he would choose the rites department.
Is there anything special about this etiquette department?
Li Qian pondered for a moment, then said with a smile: "Okay, in that case, you can go and talk to Uncle Wang Zongbo of the Ministry of Rites."
Unexpectedly, at this point, Qin Hui felt a little embarrassed.
"Your Majesty, Uncle Wang Zong is an upright man, but he may not be willing to pay attention to his ministers."
"oh?"
Li Gan was startled, is Wang Mang so fierce? Even Qin Hui looks down on him?
"Prime Minister Qin, you are the Right Prime Minister, how could Wang Zongbo ignore you?"
Qin Hui suddenly stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Dr. Li is my elder and has a close friendship with me. If I make arrogant comments about his promotion, I'm afraid it will be thought that I have abused my power and promoted someone close to me..."
Li Qian almost laughed out loud. It turned out that he was worried about his reputation.
He waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. Dr. Li has real talent and learning, and has a good character. Reading his articles is like drinking sweet wine without knowing it. I believe that the adults in the court will not think so."
Qin Hui was startled, why did these words sound familiar?
But when it came down to this, he could only agree with a grimace: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Li Qian smiled and said, "Go and ask Uncle Wang Zong first. If he has any concerns, tell me later."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Qin Hui bowed down respectfully: "I treat my elders well, and I would like to thank your majesty for your support."
"Haha." Li Qian looked at Qin Hui with a smile and said naturally: "Since he is a relative of Prime Minister Qin, he must have something special about him."
"I will study more in the future and discover more talents for our country!"
Qin Hui's face turned red, but the degree was very slight: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Then he resigned and left.
After Qin Hui left, Li Qian began to think about the Ministry of Rites.
Why did Qin Hui go to the Ministry of Rites to recruit people?
Li Gan felt that the reason why Qin Hui was unwilling to do this on his own was probably not just because he was concerned about his reputation, but maybe there was something special about Wang Mang?
After pondering for a long time, he couldn't think of anything, so he called the old eunuch and Lu Bu to go out of the palace together...
"This is the real Dongshi."
Li Qian looked at the bustling street in front of him, with the crowds of people and the numerous luxurious pavilions, and couldn't help but sigh.
Although there are many people, it can be vaguely seen from the wealthy clothes and comfortable behavior that most of the people who come to Dongshi to shop and buy things are people with affluent lives, and the largest number of them are servants of officials' families, juniors, etc.
Moreover, there are not many hawking stalls along the street here. Most of the shops are in pavilions facing the street, and the decorations are gorgeous and extraordinary.
"Sir, Wang Mang and Wang Zongbo's residence needs to be further east." The old eunuch pointed the direction to him enthusiastically.
Li Qian nodded, but suddenly changed his mind: "Instead of leaving from Dongshi, let's go to Yi'anfang in the south."
The old eunuch and Lu Bu were both stunned.
Li Qian smiled and said: "I heard that Prime Minister Qin's house is in Yi'anfang, so I happened to stop by and take a look."
A group of three people walked out of Dongshi, and the streets outside were even more lively.
For many people and traders, the East Market is a place of elegance. They cannot enter the East Market, so they set up stalls nearby outside the East Market.
Li Qian bought it while walking and took a lot of snacks in his hand. He ate while walking, which made the old eunuch feel full even when he tried the poison.
However, the further you go into the square, the fewer such vendors become.
By the time Li Qian arrived near Qin Hui's house, there were no vendors who dared to set up stalls here.
"This is the house of Qin Xiang's family."
Li Qian gnawed on a bunch of crystal-clear candied haws, looking at the tall and majestic Wutou Gate in front of it, and the majestic halberds in front of it. Looking far behind, he saw the tall cantilevered roof with owl tails standing solemnly on it. Black terracotta tiles, vermilion door, copper-headed door nails and copper handles with rings in animal mouths...
Li Qian didn't know what was happening behind the closed door.
The three of them just stood in front of the door and watched for a moment, and then the gatekeepers of the Qin Mansion ran out to chase them away.
"What are you doing? Do you know where this is? Don't wander around here!"
Lu Bu glared angrily and went up to give him some color: "Damn you..."
Li Qian hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him: "We'll leave right away."
But we can't start a fight here, or else we'll miss the mark?
Besides, if you can’t see it today, will you not be able to see it in the future?
Anyway, Li Qian's telescope already has some features, and I believe he will be able to make it in a while.
At that time, I will visit all the ministers’ homes!
Na Menzi was glared at by Lu Bu and almost sat down on the ground. After coming back to his senses, he stared at Lu Bu for a moment, then turned around and returned to his house.
"Master, you should take care of that kid." After walking far away, Lu Bu was still a little aggrieved.
"Prudent, do you know what prudence means?"
The old eunuch couldn't help scolding: "You are so impulsive, but you haven't thought about what time it is now?"
"What should I do if there is a conflict and the master is injured?"
Lu Bu wanted to scold him back, but knew that he was being unreasonable, so he finally smiled at Li Qian.
"Master, I just saw that that person had a bad attitude toward you..."
"Okay."
Li Gan dealt with a paper package of mutton bilo in his hand. This is a delicacy passed down from the Western Regions. It is quite similar to the fried dumplings of the previous life. The outer shell is golden and crispy, and the mutton inside is soft and juicy. The filling is also filled with pepper, which gives it a delicious taste. Very delicious.
Of course, pepper is a luxury product and very expensive, so there is probably only a little bit of ground pepper added to it.
Facing Lu Bu's complaints, he waved his hands indifferently: "We are just ordinary people now, how can we comply with the palace's requirements?"
"If one day I tell Prime Minister Qin that I want to be a guest at his house, what will happen next?"
"Then I definitely want to bury my head in the soil."
The old eunuch flattered him with a smile: "His Majesty still has a broad mind. In the sky, he is like a divine dragon that spreads rain and benevolence to the world. In the mortal world, he is a harmonious person who understands the sentiments of the people. He is truly a holy king."
Lu Bu took the food for Li Qian and looked at the old eunuch with some annoyance. He had been trying to flatter him for so long, but at the last moment he was snatched away by this old dog.
I really want to slap this can of spicy lung on his hateful old face.
Just when Lu Bu was debating whether to do this or not, the sound of rapid footsteps came from behind.
Li Qian turned around and saw that the person coming was the disciple of the Qin Mansion.
The difference is that this time he is taking the lead, followed by a large group of men. These men are messily dressed and fierce-looking. They look like gangsters from the streets and alleys. They also carry whistle sticks in their hands.
"It's indeed him!"
When the disciple saw Lu Bu from a distance, he was very excited: "That's the one named Wei! Don't run away if you can!"
Li Qian saw the group of people behind them, and at a glance he saw that there were at least thirty or forty of them. His scalp suddenly felt numb, and he turned to look at Lu Bu: "Fengxian, can you handle it?"
"this……"
Lu Bu hesitated for a while, but finally gritted his teeth: "Of course it can! Just..."
"Let's run away first, Master!"
The old eunuch didn't care, and stuffed all the things in his arms to Lu Bu.
"So what if he can deal with it? If one person deals with so many people, something will inevitably go wrong. If these blind things hurt you, you will be in trouble!"
"Besides, if during the fight, the Qin Mansion calls someone from the Yamen again, then we will be exposed!"
When Li Qian heard this, it seemed that this was also the case.
"Fengxian, stop fighting, run together, and get rid of them first!"
"I can deal with them, sir, you go and hide aside first!" Lu Bu looked at the many hooligans rushing over, but he began to gear up.
"What if there's an ambush somewhere else?"
Li Qian looked at the snacks in Lu Bu's arms and felt very distressed, but he still helped him throw them away and lighten his luggage: "Run away first, then look back and see if there is an opportunity to deal with them."
When Lu Bu heard that there might be an ambush elsewhere, he stopped fighting with Li Qian and immediately responded: "Okay, sir!"
As he spoke, he threw away everything in his arms, except for the last small can of spicy lungs. Lu Bu raised his head and glanced at the leading disciple bitterly, threw it forward with all his strength, and then pursued him without looking back. After getting on Li Qian and the old eunuch, the three of them quickly ran towards the end of the street.
The can of spicy lungs flew straight out and hit Menzi's forehead with a thud!
The porcelain pot shattered, and the clear soup was accompanied by a few pieces of old ginger. A few pieces of lungs flew across, maybe the spicy soup got into his eyes, and Menzi screamed like a slaughtered pig!
However, only two or three of those street gangsters stayed to take care of him, and the rest chased Li Qian and the others with red eyes.
Everyone has said that these are the people that Prime Minister Qin's young master wants to beat. If they can be caught and handed over to the young master, won't they have all the glory and wealth?
"Hey! Don't run!"
"If you can, just stop and wait for your grandpa! Hey..."
The shouts of the hooligans from behind made Lu Bu quite annoyed. He couldn't help but turned around and said angrily: "I don't call you hello! I call..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Qian slapped him in the face: "Run quickly!"
Thanks to Li Qian's recent hard work on Ba Duan Jin, now that he is being chased, he can run very easily!
All three of them have some skills, Lu Bu has more skills, Li Qian has less skill, and the old eunuch has more skills.
But they were all stronger than the gangsters behind them, so after running for a while they left those people behind.
But just when Li Qian and the others were about to escape, a loud shout suddenly came from the side: "Hey!"
"Grandsons! How can it be that there are many people bullying those who are small?"
Li Qian turned around and looked in surprise, and found a strong man with a muscular back and a body that was not inferior to Lu Bu standing in front of the group of hooligans!
