Chapter 107 Dad’s Confusion
The next day.
Imperial College Hugh Mu.
Zeng Anmin learned this after coming to the Imperial College from the Imperial City Division.
Then, he walked directly towards home.
Nothing happened again today.
He simply headed home.
……
"Master, are you back?"
As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he heard Uncle Qi's voice.
"Yeah."
As soon as he returned home, Zeng Anmin relaxed.
He looked into the distance: "Where is my father? Is he still in Shangshu Province?"
"My master got up early today and went to the palace to pay his respects."
Uncle Qi replied respectfully.
"Morning?" Zeng Anmin was stunned.
So good, what kind of style does Emperor Jianhong have?
Doesn't he like morning service?
But this has little to do with him.
I walked lazily towards the yard. As soon as I entered my yard, I saw that kid Huzi running around in the yard.
"Kill!!!"
I don’t know who made Huzi a wooden sword. Huzi’s sword was chopping the rape flowers in the yard...
With one strike of the sword, a piece of cauliflower fell down.
"Don't leave the devil!!"
Huzi's round eyes stared, and the wooden sword in his hand looked like it was cutting through Mount Hua, and it looked like the head of a hundred thousand soldiers!
There is quite a kind of heroic ambition that even though thousands of people have passed by me.
But it would have been nice if he hadn't chopped the flowers in his own yard.
Zeng Anmin's mouth twitched.
Understandable.
As a child, if you have a stick or something in your hand, either the flowers or the grass will suffer.
"Uncle!!"
Huzi looked up at Zeng Anmin, his eyes filled with joy, and he stood there with his hands on his waist:
"Am I awesome!"
"It's amazing."
Zeng Anmin casually responded.
Then he raised his head sharply and looked at Huzi, with a look of surprise on his face:
"What did you just call me?"
"Uncle!"
Huzi blinked and said seriously: "Shouldn't it be?"
Uh...
In theory this is indeed the case.
But when did you transition?
"Who taught you this?" Zeng Anmin frowned and looked at Hu Zi.
At this time, he had arrived in front of Hu Zi, condescending.
Huzi raised his head and looked hard at Zeng Anmin and said, "I asked my mother, she said it."
Yes, it's still the same.
The name I am called has been changed...the name I am called Aunt Lin has not been changed yet.
Zeng Anmin slowly knelt down and picked him up, with a smile on his face:
"What were you doing just now?"
"My mother said that my father is a general respected by thousands of people, and he is unparalleled in bravery on the battlefield!"
When Huzi talked about this, his eyes lit up and he said with great pride:
"Did I look like my dad just now?"
Zeng Anmin glanced at the cauliflower that was mostly lying on the ground with pity, and showed an affirmative face:
"Like."
"Hey."
Huzi buried his head on Zeng Anmin's shoulder and whispered: "That uncle promised to tell me daddy's story last time..."
"That's easy to say."
Zeng Anmin came to the chair with Huzi in his arms. He looked at the scenery in the courtyard with a smile on his face:
"Your father is not only a general respected by thousands of people."
"He is still the best swordsman in the capital!"
As he said that, Zeng Anmin's eyes became dazed.
He seemed to have seen his cousin-in-law's heroic appearance as a peerless genius.
"The First Swordsman!!!"
When Huzi heard this, he jumped out of Zeng Anmin's arms.
Holding the wooden sword in his hand, he hit the rapeseed flowers in the yard and beat him severely again:
"I am the best swordsman in the capital!!!"
Although Hu Zi's voice sounded milky, the pride in his voice could only be understood by Rapeseed Flower who fell on the ground...
"Shuashuashua!!!"
The sound of Hu Zi's sword came and went.
"Don't you want to hear a story?"
Zeng Anmin's mouth twitched.
"Haha." A familiar voice sounded.
Zeng Anmin turned his head and looked.
Aunt Lin walked slowly from the entrance of the hospital.
With a clean smile on her face, she looked at the tiger in the courtyard with a kind expression.
"I haven't seen this kid so happy for a long time."
"Yeah."
Zeng Anmin nodded with a smile and continued to look at Huzi.
"Mother!! I am the best swordsman in Beijing!!"
Huzi was extremely excited.
"Yeah."
Aunt Lin stood next to Zeng Anmin with a smile on her face, and there was a hint of joy in her voice:
"I heard about the reversal of the case in Zhongyuan's Mansion."
"Oh?"
Zeng Anmin didn't expect Aunt Lin to know a little bit about things going on in the court.
The smile on Aunt Lin's face did not change. She looked at Huzi blankly, with maternal care and charity on her face:
"If Uncle Zhongyuan hadn't overturned the case, I might not have dared to tell Huzi about his father for the rest of his life."
"Yeah."
Zeng Anmin grinned and didn't say much.
"Over the years, I have actually regarded Huzi as my son. I am happy that he can live a good life and live happily in the future."
"Yes, I am happy that he can live a good life."
Zeng Anmin looked at Huzi's excited figure.
For the first time, a touch of the gratification that an elder should feel appeared in his heart.
It's like doing something yourself can make your child's life happier in the future.
Doing such a thing will give you an inexplicable sense of pride in your heart.
…………
royal palace.
Above the court.
Emperor Jianhong sat on the dragon chair calmly, looking at the ministers.
"Your Majesty, the case of Lou Shaojun's poisoning in the Vice Minister's Mansion should be concluded today."
A courtier stood up and reported with a serious face.
This person is appointed by the Minister of Household Affairs.
He has a calm complexion, a beard on his chin, and looks about fifty.
The body is broad, standing there like a big tree stump.
After he said this, he looked calmly at someone in the field.
That person was none other than Zeng Shilin.
After just a faint glance, Ren Weizhi withdrew his gaze.
King Qi fell, and Ren Weizhi was one of the few people who knew the inside story.
Before His Majesty made up his mind to become King Qi.
He met someone.
This person is Bai Ziqing, one of the top ten officials in the Imperial City Division.
Bai Ziqing has a clean family background and is a leader among the younger generation in martial arts.
Therefore, he is highly trusted by His Majesty.
After meeting Bai Ziqing, His Majesty used the power of thunder to quickly clean up King Qi.
Therefore, it is difficult not to make people doubt whether Bai Zi is related to Zeng Shilin.
However, Zeng Shilin's face did not change at this time.
He stood among the crowd and looked at his nose with his eyes, and his nose looked at his heart.
It was as if everything had nothing to do with him.
"Oh?"
A flash of understanding flashed in Emperor Jianhong's eyes.
He first glanced at Ren Weizhi, then nodded slowly:
"Xuan Bai Zi Qing."
"Yes."
As the little eunuch left, the hall fell into silence.
Ren Weizhi, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, also returned to his position.
What he wants to do today is to test.
Try to find out what the relationship is between Bai Ziqing and Zeng Shilin.
Not long after.
An extremely beautiful figure slowly walked into the court room.
He was dressed in white and had wavy yellow hair.
He looks extremely young, with a hint of indifference in his eyes:
"Meet Your Majesty."
"No courtesy." Emperor Jianhong nodded lightly, and then said:
“How is the case of the poisoning of Mr. Lou’s only son going?”
"Your Majesty, the case in the Shilang's Mansion was fortunately fulfilled. Last night, I captured the poisoner and saved Lou Tong, the son of Shilang Lou, from danger."
As soon as he said this.
The eyes of the officials above the court were all looking towards him with faint glances.
There are those who are indifferent, there are those who are mocking, and there are also those who are sarcastic.
Solve crimes and solve crimes.
It happened that just after the seven-day period came, you solved the case?
Although most of the people's expressions remained unchanged, they had their own guesses in their hearts.
It's nothing more than finding a few scapegoats.
This is a common method used by all officials throughout the ages.
After hearing his words, Emperor Jianhong's face did not waver at all.
Obviously, his thoughts were the same as those of his ministers.
"If the case is unjust, false or wrong, the crime will not be punished."
There was no emotion in Emperor Jianhong's voice.
Bai Ziqing leaned down and said respectfully: "Everything my minister said is true. If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can call Mr. Lou to come and ask in person."
Lou Yingqi did not appear in the court today.
There was a tragedy in his family, so Jianhong gave him a long vacation.
"That's not necessary, just let him rest for a few days."
Emperor Jianhong's eyebrows raised slightly, and a look of interest appeared on his face.
He looked towards Bai Ziqing:
"Who poisoned it? How to detoxify the green-bellied snake venom?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Bai Ziqing curiously.
Although several days have passed since the son of Lou Yingqi, the Minister of Household Affairs, was poisoned.
However, such an important case still caused quite a stir in the court.
A third-grade official is not a big deal.
But to say small, it is indeed not small.
If his son was really poisoned and died, His Majesty, in order to win over Lou Yingqi or calm the panic among the ministers, would definitely get angry and kill the unlucky man.
Fortunately, according to Bai Ziqing, this case is over.
So they wanted to know how this case was solved.
"Your Majesty, the person who poisoned you is not a human being."
Bai Ziqing slowly raised his head, with a touch of coldness in his voice.
As soon as these words came out.
Ren Weizhi, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, had a glimmer of light in his eyes.
But he hid very well at this time, just stood firmly in place and did not speak.
The father raised his eyebrows and looked at Bai Ziqing curiously.
"Not a human?" Jianhong narrowed his eyes and looked straight at Bai Ziqing.
"Say."
Bai Ziqing took a deep breath and handed over his hand to report:
"A few days after the incident, I immediately felt that Lou Tong had offended someone recently, or that Lou Tong had been unhappy with someone recently."
"Therefore, this case is classified as a retaliatory case."
"So everyone puts their thoughts on the person who poisoned them."
"However, I searched for several days and still couldn't find it."
"It wasn't until yesterday that I discovered a few doubtful points in my desperation."
"The furnishings in the house...the bedding...and the open windows..." He took his time and slowly told the whole process of solving the case "by himself".
"So, in the end, with my thorough reasoning, I finally found the source of the crime!!"
"That's a green-bellied snake!"
After Bai Ziqing finished speaking, his chin was raised a little high, and his face was full of pride.
Just hear his words.
Dad's brows slowly wrinkled.
This scene is so familiar...
I seem to have seen it somewhere...
As he told the entire story of the case.
Emperor Jianhong's face had no expression at all.
The entire court was silent.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
"The demon clan...appeared in the residence of my Great Sage Minister?!!"
Someone gasped.
This sentence reveals countless information.
How did the demon clan sneak into the Great Holy Dynasty silently?
You should know that although Confucianism and Taoism during the Great Sage Dynasty did not reach their peak, they can still be regarded as the most prosperous dynasty in modern times.
In the capital where Confucianism and cultivators are rampant, there is actually a snake demon hiding.
What could be behind this snake demon?
Which minister is it?
Or a disciple of Xuanzhen Division?
Where does the magic that can hide his evil spirit come from?
As this snake emerges.
Then this case is no longer an ordinary poisoning case.
It might even be a major case that stirs up bloodshed in the DPRK! !
At this time, some quick-thinking ministers in the court had begun to feel a sense of crisis in their hearts.
Jianhong's face was extremely gloomy.
His voice was extremely cold, and he looked at the eunuch beside him:
"Xuan Lou Yingqi went to the palace!"
There was a bone-chilling chill in the voice.
This chill stirred up a depressing atmosphere and enveloped everyone's hearts.
"Yes!"
The little eunuch didn't dare to neglect and trotted towards the outside of the palace.
This is a serious matter.
It has even reached a point where even the Xuanzhen Division cannot afford it.
No matter how powerful Xu Tianshi is, he will not risk the disapproval of the world to protect his disciples.
……
In the main hall, the depressing atmosphere lingered for a long time.
Everyone stood there and waited quietly.
Time passed little by little.
finally.
Under the guidance of the little eunuch.
Lou Yingqi slowly appeared in the court hall.
"My lord, I would like to pay my respects to Your Majesty. Your Majesty will live forever."
Just enter the palace.
Lou Yingqi then respectfully saluted Jianhong
Emperor Jianhong slowly looked at Lou Yingqi's lowered head and said in a deep voice:
"I heard that Lou Tong's poison has been cured?"
Lou Yingqi looked up and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, with the help of Bai Tisi, the murderer has been found and the dog was saved from danger."
"Who is the murderer?"
Emperor Jianhong stared at him.
"It's a seventh-grade green viper."
……
As soon as these words came out.
There was no more sound in the entire court.
Emperor Jianhong slowly closed his eyes.
The hands under his dragon robe grasped the armrests of the dragon chair.
Thousands of thoughts in my mind are slowly drifting away.
This matter can be big or small.
A big one would involve the lives and fortunes of hundreds or even thousands of officials in the capital.
The smaller one is the evil spirit of the demon clan who wants to murder the officials of the holy dynasty.
But now that King Qi has suddenly fallen, a group of officials have been sent to prison.
If this case continues to be investigated in such depth.
Then Beijing... do you still want it?
soon.
Emperor Jianhong had already weighed the pros and cons in his mind.
But he couldn't say this.
If it were said from his mouth, the royal family's face would be wiped out.
So who is the best person to say it?
Emperor Jianhong slowly swept across the courtiers.
Everyone caught in his gaze lowered their heads and remained silent.
At this time, no one dared to stand up and characterize the case.
Once it is determined, if old accounts are really raised in the future, the person who spoke will be the first to fall!
For a time, the entire court fell into dead silence.
Suddenly, a "Puff!!" sounded.
Lou Yingqi knelt directly on the ground and wailed:
"Your Majesty, the people of the demon clan are evil and want to harm me for injustice. Please make the decision for me!!!"
After he said these words, all the officials were suddenly stunned.
Right, who is best suited to characterize this case? ?
Who else could be there besides the Sufferer? ?
Even Emperor Jianhong was stunned for a moment.
He looked at the wailing Lou Yingqi, with a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes.
"Monster clan!!"
Emperor Jianhong borrowed his donkey from the slope, his voice filled with unparalleled chill:
"I will have to settle with them sooner or later!!"
"Lou Aiqing, don't worry, I will never chill the hearts of my ministers!! The hearts of the people in the world!!"
Lou Yingqi raised her head hopefully, with tears of emotion flashing in her eyes:
"Your Majesty is Holy!!!"
"Yeah."
Emperor Jianhong nodded slowly.
All the ministers also slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
The case was solved like this.
As for whether His Majesty will investigate secretly, what does that have to do with them?
"My dear friends, do you have anything else to say?"
Emperor Jianhong looked at everyone with an expressionless face.
Zeng Shilin stood up slowly to meet Emperor Jianhong's gaze:
"Your Majesty, the position of Beitidu in the Imperial City is vacant. It needs to be completed early. The public security in Beijing cannot be disrupted for a day."
As soon as he said these words, everyone in the court narrowed their eyes.
The position of Sibeitidu in the Imperial City.
Logically speaking, it has nothing to do with Zeng Shilin.
No matter how many turns he took, it would never be Zeng Shilin's turn to bring up the matter.
But... Beiti is also King Qi.
He advocated overthrowing King Qi.
What faction does King Qi belong to?
Eunuch!
He was the number one general in the Imperial City who promoted Ji Qing.
Now Tiju Ji Qing is leading troops to suppress the demon tribe in the north and is not in the court.
So Zeng Shilin wanted to take this opportunity to say this.
The position of Beididu can no longer be placed in it by the eunuchs.
This was exactly what he said.
As the first minister of the court, Li Zhen stood up slowly, bowed and said:
"Your Majesty, what Zeng Shangshu said is very true. All public security in the north of Beijing is under the jurisdiction of Beitidu. If no one takes office again, chaos may occur."
I saw Li Zhen standing up.
The corner of Dad's mouth curled up slightly.
After bowing, he retreated to his seat.
As long as the goal is achieved.
The reason why he said this was for one purpose.
That is causing war.
"Does Mr. Ge have a candidate?"
Li Zhen held an important position in the court, so Emperor Jianhong naturally wanted to ask for his advice first.
"I don't have any at the moment."
Li Zhen shook his head.
He also retreated to his position.
Emperor Jianhong's eyes were on Zeng Shilin: "Zeng Aiqing, since you proposed this proposal, do you think you already have a candidate in mind?"
The old man in the crowd was stunned for a moment, then shook his head blankly and said:
"I am just worried about the security of the capital, and there is no candidate...yet."
"Really?" Emperor Jianhong said expressionlessly, "The post of Beiti Capital is of great importance. Zeng Aiqing is a bachelor of the cabinet. I have to give some advice. It would be good for me to name a few names for my reference."
< br>
The father thought for a while and then said: "Well... I think it is best to choose from among the chief ministers. After all, all the chief ministers are familiar with the affairs of the Imperial City Department, and it will be much easier to do things."
"If you insist on choosing me, I think Bai Ziqing is more suitable."
Dad naturally knew that his great son and Bai Ziqing had formed an unbreakable relationship.
It’s also a good thing to mention some older friends at this time.
Of course, it doesn't matter to him whether it succeeds or not.
"Oh, I'm afraid Zeng Shangshu's words are inappropriate, right?"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a strange voice.
Ren Weizhi, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, had a sneer on his face:
"What's the relationship between Bai Ziqing and you, that you can actually raise matters in front of the court?"
Dad asked the question calmly:
"Raise a point? When did I ever have the intention to raise a point? His Majesty is asking and I am answering. Everything is still decided by His Majesty."
Having said this, he smiled at Ren Weizhi:
"What? Is it possible that Bai Ziqing has secrets about Ren Shangshu? Are you so afraid of him taking office?"
When Ren Weizhi heard this, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. Before he could speak, someone had already spoken for him.
"Master Zeng, isn't it wrong to say such childish words in the court?"
"Yes, although the crime of misconduct in the palace may be big or small, Ren Shangshu is a minister of the court after all. How can I allow you to slander me like this?"
"Your Majesty, Zeng Shilin insulted an important minister in the court, please punish him."
As soon as several people saw Ren Weizhi being manipulated by his father, they immediately stood up in anger and pointed at their father.
Dad frowned deeply.
He first entered the court, and there were not many minions in the court at this time.
The scolding war... is indeed a bit weak.
But, so what? It was a fierce scolding battle that my father had never experienced before.
He took a deep breath and was about to retaliate in kind.
However, only a "pop" sound was heard.
Everyone's attention was drawn away.
But seeing Lou Yingli kneeling down again, his face was extremely serious and his voice was sad:
"Your Majesty, Bai Ziqing solved an important case in the palace in just seven days. His level is that of a fourth-level martial artist, and he is also known as the best swordsman in the capital. It requires merit and qualifications, and even more so with Ji Qingshen. The battle between Yinwu and demons seven years ago."
"Not only is he outstanding in battle, but he is also brave and resourceful. After the green-bellied snake appeared yesterday, he was killed in the courtyard with a sword. How can such a person not be able to hold the position of Beitidu?!!"
There is true meaning in the voice, every word is precious.
Sure enough, as soon as he said these words, everyone's eyes subconsciously looked towards Bai Ziqing.
At this time, Bai Ziqing's mouth felt a little awkward.
He looked at Lou Yingqi who was kneeling on the ground.
I just feel like I have another close friend in my life.
Every word, every word spoke to his heart.
Lou Yingqi, very good. I will definitely become a close friend with you from now on.
"Furthermore, Your Majesty, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Ren Zhi, publicly slandered Zeng Shangshu and formed a clique in front of the court. This is a serious crime and should not be underestimated!!"
Lou Yingqi stood up expressionlessly and looked at Ren Weizhi.
There is a faint feeling that I am protecting my father behind me.
"When did I slander him..." Ren Wei subconsciously wanted to refute.
"Humph! It has been less than a month since Zeng Shangshu first came to the court. Not to mention forming cliques, even when he went to the Imperial City Division to find Bai Tisi's bedchamber, he couldn't figure out which way to go!"
"How come you are slandering someone who wants to mention someone?!"
Lou Yingxian was full of power and firepower, looking at Ren Weizhi:
"Isn't this slander?! Isn't this throwing dirty water??"
After saying that, he bowed deeply to Jianhong:
"Your Majesty, Ren Wei, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, has made arrogant remarks and slandered all the ministers of the court! I ask your Majesty to take a warning and don't leave such a black sheep in the court!!"
? ? ?
Dad glanced at Lou Yingqi blankly.
Who is he?
Why do you protect me so much? ?
