The pattering autumn rain formed a mist-like water curtain in the sky, and the pavilions near and far were shrouded in the mist and mist.
In the small pavilion in the courtyard, a fire was burning. Tung oil, wooden boards, bamboo slips and other objects were burned together. The black smoke floated into the rain curtain and slowly disappeared into nothingness. Wang Lingjun stared at the fire for a long time until his eyes were blurred.
The bright light is uncomfortable.
She suddenly remembered that her father had also burned a box in General Zhengdong's Mansion in Shouchun City, on a rainy day. But the burning was not clean that time, but it was finally burnt clean today.
The fragments from the memories came into his mind, and Wang Lingjun imitated his father's appearance at that time and let out a long breath.
Wang Lingjun and Qin Liang stood side by side. After looking at each other for a long time, Qin Liang's voice said: "Go back to your room."
She seemed to have a lot to say, but she was speechless for a moment. What she could say has probably been said before, and it would be a bit redundant to say more. Some words were too embarrassing to say, and she couldn't say them clearly.
Her thoughts were also very confused. At this time, everything in her mind was as hazy and unclear as the scenery on this rainy day. For example, was Qin Liang's heart disease caused by the dilemma between her and Wang Xuanji? Another example was that Wang Xuanji poured tea soup in the attic today.
, what is it metaphorically speaking? She guessed that Qin Liang did not leave something in Xuanji, so Xuanji said it should be fine. But what exactly did Xuanji do? Lingjun also put his finger on Xuanji
He made a hint with his mouth, and Xuanji immediately drank the tea soup in one gulp. Maybe Xuanji went too far and really ate it? Wang Lingjun still felt shocked and his face was hot when he thought about it.
When Wang Lingjun returned to the door of the room, she turned around and glanced at the still smoking embers in the pavilion. Although her emotions were complicated, she vaguely felt some indescribable laziness.
She had walked in the damp courtyard just now, and the hem of her long skirt was stained with mud. If she had wanted to change her clothes before, she would have panicked and kept thinking about the mud stains on her body. But now she was too lazy to do so.
Move, procrastinate and don't want to bother.
…
The people in the school affairs office are much freer, but Qin Liang has become busy these days.
In the past, school officials mainly did dirty work for the emperor. Later, they did it for Cao Shuang, such as kidnapping the late emperor's wife, searching for beauties everywhere, directing and acting to report crimes, and then extorting and harassing various families, etc.
.
After taking office, Qin Liang began to ban many previous "businesses", so everyone's affairs gradually began to decrease. Of course, Qin Liang would not do the previous business again, which was all petty profit and offending.
The common people of the Wei Kingdom were squeezed dry, leaving little vitality in the world. However, the powerful nobles were quite wealthy, lived an extremely luxurious life, and maintained many domestic talents. After all, the wealth left by the Han Dynasty, such as precious metals, would not
disappeared out of thin air, Cao Wei also organized people to rob tombs, and almost all of these things went into the mansions of the princes. Wherever you can get some profit, it must be inextricably linked with the powerful noble families. It can be said that knocking out
|Fooling one person will offend a group of people.
However, the school affairs office still has some serious business to maintain its operations. For example, in the Chinese and Foreign Army, Sima Yi's Mansion and other ministers' residences, undercover agents are arranged, but it should be of no use. I guess Sima Yi and others already know who is the school affairs office.
I'm undercover.
The strangest thing is that only General Cao Shuang's Mansion does not have an undercover agent. Obviously, even if Sima Yi wants to deploy an undercover agent, he will not use people from the School Affairs Mansion, but his own servants and other private individuals.
In fact, Cao Shuang should do the same thing. If he has to find someone by himself, there is no need to rely on the people in the school affairs office... Because although Cao Shuang is very powerful, he has not reached the point of controlling the court with one hand, so the school affairs office has been controlled by various families.
It's as permeable as a sieve, and it's so organized that nothing can be done.
At that time, when Qin Liang was lobbying Cao Shuang to kill Yin Mo, he had already made suggestions, but I don't know if Cao Shuang listened.
Cao Shuang really looked like a master. He coveted the few beauties left by the late emperor and was very active in recruiting beauties from the people. Qin Liang suggested that he accumulate some reputation, pay attention to his influence, and find someone to help him take the blame.
Is it for his own good? No matter how hard you try, it may not be of any use.
The school officials had less things to do for the time being, but Qin Liang was very busy. There were some things that his men just couldn't do, so he had to do it himself.
For example, if you want to discuss business with Tingwei Gaorou, a third-rank official, and send a small school official there, no one will be able to see him. Qin Liang is going to discuss the issue of business sharing.
The laws of the Great Wei Kingdom were very poor for the powerful nobles. For most crimes, you could pay the money to the Tingwei Mansion and then be released! The price was clearly marked, and the price of various crimes was clear at a glance.
Of course, there are also some sins that are too important and money is not easy to use.
Qin Liang has recently restrained his men from extortion, but the school officials will still receive some reports. For general reports, Qin Liang is going to inform Tingwei's Mansion and let Tingwei come forward to punish the crime in an honest and fair manner; because the school affairs office does not actually have officials.
| Judicial power within the bureaucracy. In the past, those misdeeds such as ransacking homes and searching people were all illegal in the final analysis. However, with the support of the emperor, they could claim to be punished by decree.
But Gao Rou can't be in vain, Qin Liang went to him to negotiate a share. According to the report information provided by the school affairs office, Tingwei received the atonement money, so of course he should get a share. Gao Rou was very willing to see it, and the school
The actions of the Shifu were also included in the official system of Wei State, and they had agreed to divide the money. The only difference was how to divide it.
When discussing business, Gao Rou mentioned something, saying that the Queen Mother sent a message asking Qin Liang to attend the court meeting on the first day of October.
Queen Mother Guo? Qin Liang didn’t know why Queen Mother Guo knew her name. It was probably because of the matter of getting rid of Yin Mo?
But the Empress Dowager Guo seemed to have no sense of existence. During the few years Qin Liang had been in the Wei State, almost all the major events that Qin Liang knew were arranged by Cao Shuang, Sima Yi and his gang. If Gao Rou hadn't mentioned it, Qin Liang would not have thought of the connections of the Empress Dowager Guo.
Emperor Cao Fang is not the biological son of Empress Dowager Guo, but this is not the most important thing. What is important is the governors of the four directions. The powerful ministers in the court are too strong and can only be suppressed when Cao Pi and Cao Rui are in power. In addition, Empress Dowager Guo does not seem to like to take care of things, otherwise
She can still have a lot of power. After all, the Queen Mother Guo represents the royal family. There are still many people loyal to the Cao family in the world. Those people should be willing to listen to the Queen Mother Guo's call.
Qin Liang didn't care so much. Since Queen Mother Guo thought highly of him, she would try it first before deciding if it was useful.
Even if Empress Dowager Guo doesn't care much about government affairs, if she opens her mouth and wants the public to reward someone with a small prefect or general with a miscellaneous title based on their merits, what's the big problem? Qin Liang immediately paid attention to it and was busy preparing a gift for Empress Dowager Guo.
A great gift.
On the first day of October, there is only more than half a month left. Qin Liang is busy every day preparing things for the Queen Mother. When Qin Liang finds an opportunity to express his needs tactfully, the kind Queen Mother will most likely say a word for Qin Liang.
