Chapter three hundred and ninety-eight: It's real
Chapter 398: It's serious
After a heavy rain, the clear sky is like a wash, and the early morning air is filled with the warmth and coldness of spring, making people wonder how to wear clothes.
It was the end of the month, and February was about to enter. Chen Ao was confused and kept wandering around, and he didn't leave the door and didn't step out. He suddenly became dormant, which surprised some people who knew him. Even in Bianjing City, some people who paid attention to Chen Ao's movements were confused at this moment. They thought that Chen Ao's trip to Suzhou would cause some earth-shaking storm, but after half a month, there was no trace of the shocking thing. Some people sighed, some suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and some shook their heads in disappointment.
However, the Empress Dowager suddenly issued an imperial decree, which caused an uproar, saying that the Empress Dowager had a dream and even issued an imperial decree? The imperial decree could not help but shake his head one by one. The wonderful thing was still behind. In the dream was a god emitting golden light. The gods all came out and emit golden light, which was somewhat of a romance. But since the Empress Dowager said this, whether you believe it or not, you have to believe it or not.
Later, the gods said that the empress dowager wanted to go to Lushan to pray for blessings. The empress dowager was old and finally told the emperor to go.
Just such an imperial decree scared everyone. The emperor was going to leave the capital? He also wanted to go to Mount Lu? This is an extraordinary event. Everyone is waiting to see what the emperor said.
A day later, the imperial edict drafted by the Ministry of Education came out, and it was said that I heard that the emperor was not a blessing for the country, so since I ascended the throne, I strictly prohibited my subordinates from talking about it. Now the empress dowager has an imperial edict. As a son, I am in a dilemma. Which is more important, loyalty and filial piety or the country? Whenever I think of this, I am worried and decided to obey the imperial edict. My Song Dynasty governs the world with loyalty and filial piety. The ministers should abide by their loyalty to the emperor, and the son should respectfully fulfill his filial piety to his parents. This is a natural thing, and even I am not like this. This time I am not happy, but I just hope to set an example for the people of the world.
This imperial edict is simply impeccable. The word "filial piety" blocked the world's long mouth. Although some people were dissatisfied and eager to submit a memorial to stop it, they scratched their heads for a moment and could not find any reason.
Stopping the emperor from traveling means stopping the emperor from performing filial piety and hindering the emperor from respecting his mother? Are you tired of living? What kind of book are you reading? You don’t even understand loyalty, filial piety and etiquette. If the emperor doesn’t rule you, can you afford this criticism from the scholar?
No one spoke out about this earth-shaking thing, as if this matter had never spoken out. Seeing that the effect was so good and no one opposed it, Zhao Ji was so happy that he quickly arranged the details of the tour, just waiting to choose a good zodiac day and leave Beijing immediately.
When the news reached Suzhou, it was discussed. No one knew how His Majesty’s itinerary was. Suzhou was a major city in the south of the Yangtze River and he could not stop for a while, so there were several more happy and some sad.
Chen Ao also began to become restless. Early in the morning, there was still drizzle in the sky. Chen Ao put on a straw raincoat and took Deng Long and Zhou Heng and the other two went directly to the Imperial Bureau. Several of the servants inside recognized him and came to accompany him immediately. Chen Ao waved his hand: "Come on the account book, I want to check the account."
Several people looked at each other. Some had sneaked to inform Feng Lu and Feng that they had made it, and someone had taken the account book for Chen Ao to see. Chen Ao sat behind the desk, and the yamen hall was a little dim, so he asked someone to take an oil lamp, move the oil lamp closer, looked at the account book carefully, then sneered, pushed the account book aside, and said to the person who was serving him: "You have done a good account!"
These people didn't know what Chen Ao was referring to, and they were confused for a moment. Chen Ao sneered: "Even such an account book is dare to fool people? I ask you, why did it cost 90,000 jin of silver to transport it from Shu to the capital? Humph, you really think that people are blind and don't even understand the fraud?"
"Sir, the expenses along the way are very high. More than 90 civilians and boatmen have been traveling back and forth for several months..."
"Your husband and boatman will spend 90,000 guan of money on trips back and forth for several months? That's great, why not do this. I will take care of the Huashigang of the next construction bureau. You can pay according to the price in the account book?"
When everyone heard this, they didn't dare to speak. They only knew that the surveillance was very big and could not afford to offend him, so they had to let Shen Ao scold him angrily and never say anything.
"Tell you the truth. If you want to keep your job, just be aware of it. What is going on in this account book? Do you explain it to me clearly, do you understand?"
"I understand, understand."
"Then let's say it."
"..." Once they asked them to say it, they would not understand it again. They would exchange greetings one by one, and they would be dazed.
Chen Ao smiled and had to put the account book in his arms and said, "If you don't say it, there will naturally be people who say it, I'm not in a hurry, it's you who are anxious." After that, he put the account book in his arms and swayed and left with great strides.
Chen Ao's sudden inspection made the situation panic suddenly panic. After finally calming down, the guy left again, making it hard to defend himself.
After half an hour, Feng Lu rode over anxiously. As soon as he entered, he asked in a scattered manner: "Where is the person?"
"Father-in-law, the man has left."
"Leave?" Feng Lu's eyes were so red that he wanted to kill people. He finally calmed down, sat down and drank a cup of tea, and asked someone to ask, "What did he say?"
"I just came to check the accounts and talked about the Guangxi Metasequoia. I asked us why a metasequoia tree costs 90,000 yuan. Bei Zhi told him about the cost of the civil servant and the boatman, so he scolded us."
Feng Luhe nodded with fierce eyes and couldn't help but say, "This bastard, after taking advantage of the Miscellaneous Family, he turned his back on others. Miscellaneous Family originally thought that he was a smart person, but who knew that he would be lonely after half a month of calmness. Humph, wait and see, how much you eat Miscellaneous Family, the Miscellaneous Family wants you to spit it out with profit."
"Father-in-law, the Chen Jianzhuo took away the account books."
Feng Lu suddenly got up and slammed the teacup on several tables, and the tea water inside splashed everywhere.
"What are you cooking? He said he wanted to get the account book, so you can give it to him?"
"He is the supervisor and our immediate boss. Who dares to stop him?"
Feng Lushing was angry and thought to himself that there was nothing to do with a book of accounts. This book was a mess, and Chen Ao couldn't make a fuss. At the moment, it was urgent, so he went to Cai You to discuss. When he thought of Cai You, Feng Lu felt a little uncomfortable. He went to the backyard with a stinging bullet and reported that he would go in.
Unexpectedly, Cai You had been waiting for a long time, and there was no such a playboy who had been emptying the wine and sex before. His face was covered with clouds. When he saw Feng Lu, he sternly said: "You have done a good deed, and you can't even grasp his whereabouts. He suddenly walked in and even took the account book."
Feng Lu was shocked. The Cai Dazhao didn't go out and didn't go out. He knew the outside world more clearly than himself. He quickly smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, the family deserves to die. But who would have thought that Chen Aoan had been alive for half a month but suddenly made such a fuss."
Cai You sneered and said, "It's not that he suddenly made such a fuss, but that he has planned it for a long time, because the official family is coming."
"Official...Official family." Feng Lu's face looked like a slut, and she couldn't accept the news for a while.
Cai You glanced at Feng Lu contemptuously, threw a newspaper on the table at his feet, and said, "Remember, although you are a castrator, no matter whether you are literate or not, you must remember to read this newspaper."
Feng Lu picked up the diary and glanced at it. Sure enough, he saw an imperial edict in the diary and said in shock: "Your Majesty just said he was out for a trip, but he didn't..."
Cai You interrupted him impatiently: "You go out for a walk, and then you will arrive in Suzhou. You still don't know? Chen Ao, it turns out that he was here to fight for the officials. It seems that this time the officials are determined to rectify the situation. This will make this matter even more difficult. Not only can you not be able to protect your dog head, but you can't even get rid of it." He smiled coldly, his eyes were extremely deep, and then gritted his teeth and said, "If you get rid of Chen Ao, this matter is probably what Chen Ao encouraged Your Majesty. With His Majesty's indecisive nature, this matter will be resolved. Humph, I can't understand the nature of the official family."
Feng Lu was sweating coldly, and gritted his teeth and developed great courage: "It's better to die than to fight the death of Shen Ao. But His Majesty will arrive at some time, but he is afraid that it will be too hasty and we won't have time."
Cai You looked at him high this time and said, "Sit down and talk first, let's make a long-term plan." After Feng Lu bowed and sat down, he said slowly: "Your Majesty has not arrived so quickly. You can't settle in Suzhou without half a month. Half a month is enough for us to arrange it calmly. I have already written a letter from Jin Shaowen and asked him to bring people to Suzhou to arrest Fang La's remnants immediately."
Feng Lu nodded. Jin Shaowen was the envoy of the Jiangnan West Road and was in charge of the criminal name along the way. If he wanted to come to Suzhou, he had to have a reason, which was a good reason.
Cai You continued: "As soon as he arrives, we will find an opportunity to send someone in to search Chen Ao's house."
Feng Lu said: "I'm afraid this is inappropriate. There is no reason. I'm afraid that Chen Ao would not agree. After all, he brought the imperial guards."
Cai You smiled coldly: "What if a thief sneaked into his house? In order to ensure that the safety of the stewards, we have to turn the house several times and confirm that there are no stewards before we are willing to leave. Otherwise, the stewards will be injured by the thief, how can we explain to the official?"
Feng Lu giggled, and suddenly felt that the clouds were cleared away, and he had a little look. He nodded quickly and said, "It's still the adults who think about it. With this reason, we are not going to search Chen Ao, but to protect him. If it were anyone, it would be hard to say anything."
