Chapter 1139 Chapter 1139 1139: The damage has been done to the family (Part 2) [Request for monthly ticket]
The head of the Cui family lowered his head calmly, picked up the letter, raised his hand to brush away the dust, but had no intention of opening it and taking a look. When the woman saw this, there was a cold look on her lips: "Cui Qing, why don't you open it and take a look?"
"This letter is a letter between the minister and a friend of the Zhao family. It also has the minister's monogram on it. It has not been opened. "It's necessary." The Cui family leader spoke in a calm tone as always. His gentle and non-aggressive eyebrows made other people appear aggressive and messy. He looked directly at the woman with clear eyes, "I just don't know why this letter got into the hands of the Lord?"
Even if it's a country. The Lord cannot interfere with the private interactions of his ministers.
What's more, he still has a minister with a false title.
Too suspicious.
The general sneered again and again: "Shouldn't Mr. Cui explain the content? What did you instigate Zhao to do? Zhao openly opposed the Lord. This is evidence of your secret instructions!"
The head of the Cui family did not show any panic on his face. Instead, he let out a chuckle, and said helplessly and innocently: "General, your accusation is a bit far-fetched. Cui and Zhao Jun are the principals. They have known each other since they were children, and they have exchanged between one hundred and fifty private letters throughout the year, and the two families have never stopped writing each other during the holidays. Cui is going against his master, how can we talk about it? General Suwen is very knowledgeable, why not point it out so that Cui can understand?"
As he said that, he raised the slip in his hand and shook it.
The general was said to have turned pale and his anger level was full.
What is knowledgeable?
Who here doesn’t know that he is a ranger who joined the army and rose up step by step. He is not illiterate, but he is not comparable to people like the Cui family who have been educated by the family head since childhood. The Cui Family Patriarch's words were meant to be a mockery and a public humiliation. Anyone with a bad temper could just punch and kick him to let him know why Hua'er is so red!
The general also had a bad temper, but he held it back.
Not only did he hold back, he also sneered.
It was this sound that made the head of the Cui family frown slightly.
"Mr. Cui has just come back, he probably doesn't know yet, right?"
Cui's family head: "What do you know?"
The general said: "It's the matter of Zhao being poisoned by his concubine! Alas, death of At that time, his whole body turned blue, and the Lord sent someone to conduct a thorough investigation, which revealed a lot of bad things. Zhao had treated his brothers badly, and someone planted an informant around him to commit adultery with his concubine, and the adulterer and adulterer worked together to steal the family property. The culprit was During the capture, he couldn't stand the torture and told a lot of shameful things. The man named Zhao did everything he should and shouldn't do. It was really eye-opening. Such fun! As the saying goes, 'birds of a feather flock together', Cui Gong has close contacts with such traitors... Oh, don't be deceived by him!"
The head of the Cui family has slightly pupil-like eyes. Bu Cha shrank.
There was no trace of emotion on his face.
"He is not such a person."
The king said: "This is a confession. Cui Qing might as well take a look at it."
There are nearly a hundred charges listed above, and there are also brothers from the branch at the end. The fingerprints are a complete ironclad case!
“How can the case be finalized in three days?”
The general asked back: “Did Mr. Cui think he was beaten into submission?”
The head of the Cui family said: "That's not what I meant."
The general smiled and showed his teeth, and pressed on the head of the Cui family step by step: "I am a rough man, not like Mr. Cui who has seven exquisite orifices. I am confused about something - what does the phrase "too much is not enough" mean when Cui Gongxin talks with the man named Zhao? "
Faced with the general’s repeated attacks, the head of the Cui family finally showed his displeasure: “Previously, Mr. Zhao encountered obstacles in his practice and asked me for help. I replied to him, ‘Too much is not enough, and more than is not enough.’ I hope he can accept it. Of course, is this wrong? ”
The contents of the correspondence are actually quite normal.
The complaints inside are just complaints about the pain of cultivation.
There is anxiety between the lines, and the reply from the head of the Cui family is to comfort his friends and does not involve politics at all. If this letter is used as an introduction to an attack, whoever listens to it and doesn't say a word is being rude?
The general said: "Gong Cui knows whether he is right or wrong."
The head of the Cui family almost laughed angrily: "I want to impose a crime."
Mei Jing Only then did He speak out: "My lord, In order to change the past and make new things, Zhao ordered the land to be cleared and the good and bad properties to be levied in the future. Zhao publicly obeyed the implementation, but secretly violated it and coerced innocent rich farmers to commit suicide. Not only that, but the Lord was deeply aware that the lives of the common people were difficult. Many families spent a lot of money to buy seedlings and farm tools every year. If the weather was good, they could barely make ends meet. If the weather was bad, they could barely survive. That's good The family was ruined, so the government was asked to sell the grain and seedlings borrowed from the people, and they would receive a certain amount of interest every six months, which could be returned with the summer and autumn taxes..."
The head of the Cui family said: "Isn't this a good thing?"
Mei Jinghe said: "It is indeed a good thing, but it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. The national treasury is empty, and it will not be able to distribute so much for a while, so I want to borrow some from various families, but I don't want this matter to go wrong. Wait for Zhao After he was killed, he sorted out his private letters with various families Only then did Xin find out that it was this thief who was obstructing the increase in the price of grain and seedlings on the market. "
"What did Cui Xiang want to say?"
The head of the family looked up at Mei Jinghe.
"Do you suspect that Cui was behind all of this?"
After saying these words, the atmosphere in the hall instantly became tense.
Mei Jinghe said calmly: "That's not what I meant! Cui Gong is famous for his noble character, so it is naturally impossible for him to collude with these people. It's just that under the melons and plums, for some people, it is better to avoid suspicion and avoid being tarnished. I know your name.”
The head of the Cui family concealed the strange look in his eyes.
Said quietly: "Cui is taught."
The leader of the country sitting at the top just came back from his wandering in the world. He tapped his pipe on the table and said lazily: "We must not treat people like this lightly. They have done all the bad things, and I will bear the bad reputation. How can there be such a ridiculous thing in this world? I wanted to be strict. It's just that the Zhao family has just suffered a great loss. I am afraid that I will be criticized for being mean and ungrateful at this time. I just hope that Gu's hard work can be seen and there will be less of it in the future. What does Cui Qing think about this?"
The head of the Cui family said: "The Lord is kind"
The king seemed to appreciate this compliment.
However, this was not the main purpose of calling the head of the Cui family over. As Mei Jinghe said, the national treasury is now empty. Even if it annexes the defeated countries and collects a lot of loot, it is still not enough to support her idea. A penny can stump a heroic man!
So, ask for money.
The national treasury is poor, but the wealthy families within the territory are not. Not only is he not poor, he is also very rich. She has also been the mistress of the Cui family. Even if she has not come into contact with all of the Cui family's accounts, she can still see the Cui family's background from the tip of the iceberg. The Cui family is also relatively restrained among the aristocratic families. If they can amass so much wealth, let alone other families? The leader of the country couldn't completely break up with them, and they needed to pay, so he had to find an intermediary to deliver the message on his behalf.
This candidate must be the head of the Cui family.
The attack just now was just her statement.
The intention is to illustrate——
Look, she knows all the little tricks these people do in private, but you don’t know when she will liquidate them! If you don't obey her, she can find reasons to get rid of you at any time. Even if you know in your heart that the person named Zhao is not that unbearable, it doesn't matter! People are knives and soldiers, and I am fish and meat! She has no money but she has a knife! As long as it doesn't drive her crazy, this knife won't stab an ally!
If push comes to shove, let’s see who dies first!
The king sighed and talked about the treasury's difficulties, and then mentioned the borrowing of money again: "Cui Qing, only you can help the orphan in this matter."
The head of the Cui family said: "I will do my best."
He agreed, and the vague murderous intention that followed him dissipated, and the head of the country also showed a beautiful smile: "Cui Qing is doing things, so I can rest assured. I just listened to the servant. Say, Cui Qing is here I haven't been in the city for a few days. I went out to pick up someone. I just came back not long ago. "Yes." "Who?"
"My wife." ”
The smile on the king's face grew thicker: "Congratulations."
The smile was beautiful, but it was a pity that the smile never touched his eyes.
Mei Jinghe deliberately revealed Cui Hui’s whereabouts to the head of the Cui family. Borrow Cui Hui as a chess piece to lure the head of the Cui family away for a few days, and use these few days to kill the Zhao family as a chicken to scare the monkeys. Before the head of the Cui family received the news, he intercepted the person halfway and then struck preemptively and beat him up.
The main reason of the Cui family is that they don’t want to be smart and discerning. He may not be able to get out of here safely today! Didn’t you see that few of the ministers here are allies of the Cui family? The king smiled and changed the subject.
Everyone was discussing the pros and cons of the previous battle, while the head of the Cui family lowered his eyes quietly, looking completely aloof.
When everything is over, an hour has passed.
The king of the country invited the head of the Cui family to eat again.
The tone is firm and irresistible.
The ministers also knew that the head of the Cui family and the head of the country had a marriage in their early years, so they were not surprised by this. It's normal for the two of them to feel unwilling to do so now that they were beaten up like mandarin ducks. As everyone knows, there is no tenderness and unrequited love between the two of them as they imagined.
There is only a quiet room.
There was no sound even when the chopsticks touched the wall of the bowl.
“Do you blame me in your heart?”
Finally it was the king who spoke first.
The head of the Cui family: "Your Majesty should not have lured Kewu back."
He received not only the whereabouts of Cui Hui, but also news that someone was harmful to her. At that time, I didn't think much about who did it. There were really too many people who wanted to deal with him, and any enemy could be possible. He hurried over and saw Cui Hui coming back to visit relatives. He couldn't drive him away. If he used force, he would offend him even more.
As soon as he came back, he was told that the person he was friends with was dead.
At that moment, he figured everything out.
"Mei Jinghe has done this."
The leader of the country said: "Jinghe has a saying that is right - what is the difference between sitting on the sidelines and being disloyal? Do you want to stay out of it? You have to ask Gu Yuan if he wants to do anything! In fact, he has done everything! "
The head of the Cui family is silent.
The leader of the country: "Is it really not your fault to be a scapegoat?"
She wanted the royal court to come forward to lend agricultural tools for growing grain and seedlings to the common people, and also to put an end to the usury loans that forced people to death. As a result, she implemented various unscrupulous measures. Fortunately, the deficit and corruption scandal also "appropriately" broke out on the treasury's side, and in a short time it spread everywhere. The news spread to the people. When the common people heard that Wang Ting had no money, they murmured in their hearts - how could Wang Ting lend them money if he had no money?
This move also dealt a heavy blow to the reputation of Wang Ting.
The clearing of land is also for the subsequent implementation of land reform.
The cultivated land on Qi Guoming's face is far from the rough estimate. Who has swallowed up the hidden fields and hidden households? How could the king not know in his heart? But it is even more difficult to pluck Tian and people out of the hands of these people. As soon as this matter was mentioned in the court meeting, the officials below acted like they were on duty and took turns coming out to obstruct him every now and then.
The king needs someone to take the lead on this matter.
Is there anyone more suitable than the head of the Cui family?
It's a pity that he doesn't get involved in both.
I don’t want high-ranking officials and generous salaries, but only accept a false title.
It’s not easy to get hold of him, so I can only choose today and use a perfectly normal letter as a wedge to launch an attack.
If she dared to do this, she was sure that Cui Hui was in her own territory.
The head of the Cui family said: "No."
The head of the country asked again: "Really?"
The head of the Cui family, who has always been gentle and friendly, sneered: " The Lord should know that this kind of useless trick does not require any explicit instructions. If you don't resist, you will carry out all your requests, and you will do things to extremes behind your back, which will naturally discredit people. No matter what they do, the people will only think that it was you. Skilled?”
She did the same thing when she won the throne.
It just hurts now that someone is using it on me.
The king asked: "Do you have any grudges against Gu?"
"The clay figurine still has three parts of earth nature. You instructed Mei Jinghe to use the plan of driving the tiger away from the mountain to trick me, harm my relatives and friends, and return the favor. Are you not allowed to hold any grudges?" The head of the Cui family put down his chopsticks and said goodbye.
The king did not stop him this time.
She also ordered people to give a reward to the head of the Cui family.
A bunch of gouache.
Shen Tang brought back the news and observed Cui Hui's expression out of the corner of his eye.
"As a gift of a bunch of rouge and gouache, the head of the country seems to have little energy." Anyone with a discerning eye can see that although Cui Hui's facial features do not look old, there are traces of time, and he stands with the head of the Cui family. There is an obvious age difference between them. As soon as Cui Hui came back, the ex-wife of the king gave her rouge and gouache, which had a more or less strange taste.
Cui Hui chewed melon seeds: "It's not for me."
Shen Tang was surprised: "Who is it for?"
Cui Huidao: "Whoever rewards you will use it."
These rouge and gouache were purchased from the North at a high price. You get what you pay for. The effect is indeed better than the local ones, and they are deeply loved by people from aristocratic families. . No one would be embarrassed to go out without a set of this high-end makeup product on their dressing table. Cui Huinan had heard about it during her travels, but unfortunately it was expensive and she couldn't afford it.
Shen Tang pointed to the front yard: "Does your ex-husband use it?"
Cui Hui rolled his eyes: "Well, it bothers him about this."
It's obviously twenty-five. He looked like Liu, and his skin was as clean and delicate as white porcelain. However, after she once joked that his color was not as good as when they first met, she began to imitate the care of a noble lady from aristocratic families. In addition to collecting words and spirits, my daily hobbies include studying makeup. Cui Hui found it funny at first, but when she discovered that she was the one who was really aging, she began to hate her ex-husband's behavior.
Shen Tang understood: "He is in Versailles."
Severely aggravated Cui Hui's appearance and age anxiety.
