Chapter 38 Absurd

The political struggle in Fuzhou is still very serious. If a large-scale theft case occurs, it may cause anger at the court and lead to unpredictable consequences.

In addition, Xu Zixian is no longer an ordinary royal family. This future Marquis of Nan'an can be said to be famous. Improper handling of this case will arouse public attention.

The current Emperor Chongde is called Chongde. In fact, he is afraid of being less kind and is extremely strict in commanding his ministers. He often arrests his ministers to the capital, and may be beheaded and punished for several years.

A few years ago, Zhangzhou was swept away by the five major thieves at the sea. The pacifier and the commander at that time are still imprisoned in the prison cells of the capital. According to the emperor's character, the ending is probably not good.

If the emperor forgets, people may be kept in hiding.

If someone reminds you, you may hand it over to the Ministry for trial and then be sentenced to death. Hitun comes from the emperor and the emperor will reduce the punishment of punishment.

However, the characteristic of Emperor Chongde is that he never reduces the exemption. The emperor will definitely approve the execution of the case. Therefore, as long as the criminals who were imprisoned for death are locked up, they generally have no chance to escape.

Unless the talent is particularly prominent, the emperor either keeps the person in prison and refuses to be tried or reduces the punishment and allows him to commit crimes and make meritorious service. However, such good things are rare, and few officials have such a chance to survive.

"We must be careful." Lin Douyao pondered, and after a while, he shook his head and said, "The Hou Mansion ran away from Guanzhuang, who was in trouble. It is said that he had contact with the thieves in Qishan. If we send a large army to guard such a thing, it would become a joke."

Han Bingzhong understood and said, "It may be that someone sent it deliberately. We ignore it. If something happens, we can impeach us for free. If it is done, we will mobilize the people to waste national funds."

"Yes." Lin Douyao said: "After all, it's a small matter. It involves military and political affairs, and more importantly, it involves the royal family. Let us submit it to the Grand Governor's Office and give it to the King of Qi and His Highness Zhao for approval."

"Miao, Miao." Han Bingzhong smiled and said, "Although you can't usually ask the prince to take charge, it's best to transfer this matter to you. It depends on how the two high men deal with it."

...

Also located on the royal family street, the area of ​​the Zhao Palace is about ten times larger than that of the Nan'an Marquis Mansion. The front hall is majestic and vast, with a vast atmosphere. Entering from the gate of the palace, the side hall, the main hall, the main hall, and the second hall are paved along the central axis. They are all tall buildings second only to the imperial palace, and in Fuzhou City, it is also second only to the height of several high towers. Ordinary people can see the roof of the main hall several miles away, and they can feel the solemnity and awe of the royal style.

The royal palace is also divided into the former dynasty and the inner court. You can enter the inner court through the two side doors. Due to the terrain, the courtyards of the inner court are distributed irregularly. Unlike the palace, there are many flowers, plants, mountains, stones and trees in the inner court. Almost every courtyard is decorated and surrounded by various scenery, forming a unique beauty and making all those entering the royal palace linger.

King Zhao had been living in Fuzhou for more than ten years. When Emperor Chongde was taken into the palace, King Zhao invited him out. However, what he hoped was to go to Jiangling. There were several royal residences living in Jiangling and there were many royal families. Unexpectedly, the late Emperor Chengzong directly ordered King Zhao's family to Fuzhou. No matter what his thoughts were in his heart, he had no conflict on the surface. He happily said that after he arrived in Fuzhou, he built a mansion with a scale of more than an ordinary royal residence.

For many people, the King of Zhao, who has always been cautious, may use this matter to vent some resentment. Fortunately, there are no more outrageous things. King of Zhao still respectfully worships it. After Emperor Chongde ascended the throne, King of Zhao had no indecent thoughts. Therefore, in recent years, the name of "virtuous king" has been passed down throughout the world, and this somewhat usurpable royal palace is nothing.

Only King Zhao Xu Yingzhen himself understood that gains and losses may not be up to the point. For example, he actually did not want to stay in Fuzhou, and he was even more unwilling to go to Jiangling. Of course, the one who really wanted to go back was the capital. Today was his son. King Zhao wanted to get more things, but in his own opinion, it was not too much.

From the main hall to the north, the middle courtyard after entering the inner court is Xu Yingzhen's residence. There are large areas of rocks and flowers outside the courtyard, which flows through the backyard, and a small pond is formed in one corner of the courtyard. The main hall is in the north, and to the west of the left is a two-story pavilion, opposite a tall stage. Sometimes, Xu Yingzhen would take his relatives and friends to watch operas here. There are no good operas on Fujian Road. The opera troupes were bought from Jiangling and Pingjiang areas at high prices. Many Fuzhou royal families were quite envious of them, but those who raised opera troupes were rarely found.

The documents delivered by the Pacification Department and the Control Commission were sent directly to the inner court of the Zhao Palace. After learning that His Highness of the King of Zhao was listening to the opera, they were sent directly to the second floor of Tingfengxuan.

"Hey." King Zhao took a rough look and let out a laugh that was unexplained.

"Stern brother, come and have a look." King Zhao Xu Yingzhen pointed to the official document and smiled: "Lin Douyao and Han Bingzhong are really getting more and more tired as they live, and they have no responsibility at all."

"Third Brother" Xu Ziwei is ranked third. His eldest brother is Emperor Chongde, and his second brother died young. He is now the heir of the royal family.

"Mingda is making a fuss again. I read his article last time and said that he has grown a lot. It's really disappointing." Xu Ziwei is nearly thirty years old, with a beard on his lips and a cold and hard personality. He never has a good impression of a royal dandy like Xu Zixian and does not pretend to be a slut.

After looking at it, Xu Ziwei said, "Mr. Lin and Mr. Han think this is an absurd thing, but the matter involves theft case and the royal family. They can only transfer it to their father for disposal, and they are unwilling to get involved."

"Sixth brother comes and take a look." Xu Yingzhen did not comment and handed the official document to Xu Ziwen, the old sixth brother behind him.

The other two sons exchanged ambiguous and dissatisfied eyes, and of course they had obvious dissatisfaction with their father's preference for Lao Liu over his favor.

Xu Ziwen glanced at him, then smiled and said, "The third brother said it was almost the same, but there was still a meaning that he didn't see. They were worried that we would set up a trap for them, so they were so cautious. Haha, Mingda was willful and frightened the big guys."

A smile appeared on Xu Yingzhen's face. He slapped his palm. You Changsui immediately stood beside him and bowed, waiting for instructions.

"Take the piece of Hetian jade that King Qi gave me to me and give it to the Sixth Brother."

"Thank you, your father." Xu Ziwen did not refuse, and bowed to his father with his usual graceful attitude.

This scene made many princes, big and small, jealous. Only Xu Ziwei looked like he didn't care much, and turned around and continued to concentrate on watching the show.

The father has always been a good idea to train all the sons. The Zhao Wang Mansion has strict family tutoring and outstanding children, which is actually a good thing. Lao Liu is just an excellent demeanor, cunning and high-minded person. But so what? Xu Ziwei knew that what he controlled was the most core power of the Zhao Wang Mansion, so he didn't need to be too nervous about the sixth brother.

"A fugitive slave ran away and he made a big warning. It's really..." Xu Yingzhen shook his head and said dissatisfiedly: "I don't know if the power of the imperial court is extremely strong now. You must be careful in any small matter. Brother Six, you will write a letter to Mingda later, so that he can be more careful. If you write an article, you can discuss everything with us first!"

The sixth brother Xu Ziwen smiled gently and said, "If it weren't for our two families being close to each other, we wouldn't have to pay attention to them. But I heard that Da did a good job in Nan'anze Town. He practiced martial arts every day and practiced diligently. It seemed that he was preparing to go to inspect Xijue as soon as possible."

King Zhao said no, not too much concern. Nan'an Hou Mansion had no sense of existence and had no power in the officialdom and military. It was really not worth paying too much attention. When he started writing, he only signed "absurd" in the submission, wrote two words, and then submitted it to the Changsui, asking someone to send the reply to the Fusing Office.

After dealing with this little thing that was not worth mentioning, King Zhao leaned on the soft couch and began to listen to the opera.

...

"absurd?"

Unlike King Zhao, King Xu Yingxing of Qi never works in his private residence. He goes to the Grand Governor's Office on the northwest side of the city every day to handle official business. The allocation, training, appointment and removal of military personnel in various city defense camps are all the powers of the Grand Governor's Office.

Although there is not much real power, Xu Yingxing is still conscientious and meticulous.

When he saw the letter from the Punishment Office sent by the Punishment Office and saw the word "absurd" that King Zhao had approved first, Xu Yingxing smiled.

He thought about it, wrote a private message first, called a general, and ordered him to say, "Send this letter to the Prince of Nan'an."

Yajiang agreed, but Xu Yingxing thought about it again and approved the submission: Be cautious and be cautious and not careless.

After writing these eight words, King Qi waited carefully for the handwriting to dry, and then asked someone to send it back to the comforting envoy.

...

Since it was not an important business, the approval of the Nan'an Marquis Mansion and the Ministry of Execution were sent two days after the approval of the Nan'an Marquis Mansion was sent. Li Yi had already brought more than ten Yajiangs transferred from the Marquis Mansion to Jiazizhuang. He had just run away to the head of a village, and there were panic and there were people with dissatisfaction. It was very necessary for Li Yi to guard himself.

Although the generals cannot be regarded as useful, they are still enough to serve Li Yi. At least they will not collude with the people in the village.

Liu Yi and Qin Dongyang, one is responsible for Xu Zixian's personal safety, and the other is responsible for training and teaching the refugee teenagers. Both of them are very busy and unlikely to go to the A-shaped village, and it is not appropriate for them to be the head of the village.

When Li Yi was not here, Xu Zi first personally accepted the submitted letter of approval. After opening it, there were only two words "Flying Dragon and Flying Phoenix" on it. Judging from the font, it should be written by a wealthy person.

"Absurd?" Xu Zixian shook his head and smiled, knowing that it was probably written by King Zhao.

It seems that this little thing about me has also stirred up a stagnant pool of water in Fuzhou Prefecture, and initially made the big men have some impression of themselves. Even if they are not a good impression, the slight price that this time has to pay is worth it.

The private message from King Qi was very important, and it gave Xu Zixian a great help.

A slight footsteps came from outside the house. Qin Dongyang walked in, clasped his fists and said, "Criminal, are there any trouble to find the official?"

Qin Dongyang has been a Dianwei for a while and has become more and more majestic in military officers.

"Yes, come and see this letter."

Xu Zi first handed the private message from King Qi to Qin Dongyang. Qin Dongyang looked carefully several times and said, "Your Highness the King of Qi has helped the prince. Originally, the official planned to invite the Ge brothers. With His Highness the King of Qi, this matter is a foregone conclusion."
