Chapter 854: Old Xiangguo resigns
The door opened, several black-clad warriors walked in, and someone stepped forward to open the window. The first person glanced at the person who fell to the ground, shook his head at Ah Qi, and said regretfully: "The people outside are all dead." ”
Ah Qi nodded, and sneezed at the top of the cold wind blowing in from the window. He cursed to himself in his heart, and left this house full of charcoal and incense.
"Little Five, what's the situation in the palace? Is there any news from Commander Xia? ”
The person who followed Ah Qi was none other than Lingnan Xiaowu, and he replied: "Brother Qi, don't worry, everything is normal in the palace. If Marquis Wei didn't return to the south, he would be more relieved, his mana is strong, and he will definitely be able to protect His Majesty without worry. ”
Ah Qi glanced at Xiao Wu, shook his head and said, "When does Marquis Wei need to protect His Majesty's safety?" This is our duty to protect the company. If it's all like you said, let Wei Houye do the things of the world himself, what do you want us to do? ”
Xiao Wu stuck out his tongue and replied "yes" repeatedly.
Ah Qi sat down in front of the stove again and asked, "Has the little girl found it?" ”
Xiao Wu shook his head and said, "No, I can't see anyone alive, I can't see a corpse when I die." ”
Ah Qi was silent for a long time, and sighed: "Now that demons are rampant, I really don't know when disaster will fall from the sky. ”
Xiao Wudao: "Seventh brother, I'm afraid this matter is not so simple. The little girl said that it was Miss Yan who told her that the eldest girl of the Zhang family gave the edict to Zhao Feifei, but according to what I have observed, Zhao Feifei should not have a chance to tell Miss Yan about it. ”
Ah Qi shook his head and said, "You know it's useless, everyone thinks that there is nothing to doubt about this matter." It's normal that the little girl is gone, there are beasts and demons on Wanquan Mountain nearby, and a little girl ran out, and there was naturally no corpse when she was eaten by these beasts. ”
Xiao Wu looked at the four places and said to Ah Qi: "Seventh brother, that beaver in the palace, there are some problems with his humble position, doesn't he know that there is a problem with that little girl?" Why did you have to throw her out? Shouldn't it be detained? And Miss Yan's body, which was actually burned? I heard that Marquis Wei gave him 500 gold to bury the money. ”
Ah Qi glanced at Xiao Wu, frowned and shook his head: "Xiao Wu, Lingnan, your master in Lingnan praises you for being clever all day long, you are far behind." If you ask a beaver what do you think he will say? What will Your Majesty say? ”
Xiao Wu said with a smile: "The humble man naturally knows that he can't ask him, and he doesn't admit the reason, in short, this incident happened strangely, the little girl has a problem, and the beaver who helped her run away naturally has a problem." ”
"Is there a problem with Mrs. Wei who brought her into the palace? Yan Bao'er coincidentally died without speaking for herself, is there a problem? She has been living in Jiangnan Houfu, so is there a problem with Jiangnan Houfu? Is there a problem with Hou Ye Wei? ”
Xiao Wu was a little confused by Ah Qi's series of questions, and replied curtly: "Hou Ye Wei is naturally no problem......
Ah Qi shook his head and said, "Don't say this too early. Have you ever wondered why Your Majesty is not a suspicious person, why did he leave a son and a daughter of Marquis Wei in the palace? ”
Xiao Wu stared at Ah Qi suspiciously, he thought of something, but he didn't dare to say it. Tentatively asked, "Seventh brother, don't you want to say that Your Majesty doesn't trust Marquis Wei?" He shook his head in disbelief and laughed, "How is this possible?" The dragon and phoenix fetus is auspicious, and it is born by the princess, which means auspicious, and it is not impossible for His Majesty to keep it by his side if he likes it. ”
Ah Qi also smiled "hehe" and said: "I'm just thinking about it so casually, maybe it's because I've been doing this for a long time, and I like to think cranky when I encounter things." His Majesty's affection for Marquis Wei is really deep. ”
When Xiao Wu heard this, he couldn't help but be curious, he looked at the window and door, and made sure that no one was eavesdropping outside, before he approached Ah Qi, and said with a strange smile: "Brother Qi, is that kind of relationship between Your Majesty and Marquis Wei?" ”
Ah Qi was stirring the fire, and when he heard this, he directly picked up the fire hook and knocked it on Xiao Wu's arm, and reprimanded: "Is this kind of thing you and I can ask?" Where did you hear this nonsense! ”
The strength of Ah Qi's beating is extremely skillful, all the power is applied to the surface of the skin, but the bones are nothing. Xiao Wu was beaten and grinned in pain, he held back his tears, stuck out his tongue, and didn't dare to say anything more.
Ah Qi knew that Xiao Wu was measured, but he was so unafraid to say anything in front of him, so he didn't say anything more, and the two discussed the leaking case again, and went to bed without mentioning it.
To everyone's surprise, the next morning, Zhang Shuyuan, who had always arrived at the Wude Hall on time to lead the ministers to the court, did not appear in the Wude Palace. Later, people learned that Lao Xiangguo was ill and submitted his resignation to His Majesty the Emperor.
In the hearts of ordinary people, the leak case of Chongwen Academy is not enough to make the old minister Zhang Shuyuan, who leans towards the government and the opposition, resign.
After all, Zhang Shuyuan's main exam is just to increase the specifications of the tribute test, and the old minister is busy with government affairs, so it is impossible to do everything himself. He didn't care about the examination questions or the marking papers, and all the specific matters were handled by the chairman of Chongwen College.
Even if this case must be directed at Zhang Shuyuan, the one who lost his official position must be the descendant of Zhang Shuyuan, a cadre of Chongwen Academy, and Zhang Shuyuan will be responsible for negligence at most.
Therefore, everyone speculated that Zhang Shuyuan's resignation should be related to his daughter Zhang Xiaoyu's handing over the edict to Zhao Feifei.
Zhang Xiaoyu submitted a petition form to Li Chengyu through his sister Zhang Xiaosong, explaining that he handed over the edict to Empress Zhao back then, and the edict later fell into the hands of Zhao Feifei, and it should have been handed over to Zhao Feifei by Empress Zhao.
Li Chengyu read Zhang Xiaoyu's plea form, and smiled at Zhang Xiaosong indifferently: "This is also worth your sister's guilt form?" She got the edict and returned it to the queen, which should be shared. You bring a message to Lao Xiangguo, if he resigns for this matter, there is no need. If you really don't have good bones, just rest at home. ”
Zhang Xiaosong listened to Li Chengyu's relaxed tone, as if he really didn't care about his sister's collusion with the Zhao family, and his heart was also active, and he relayed the emperor's words to his father, meaning to ask his father to withdraw his resignation.
Zhang Shuyuan waved his hand, and Lao Xiangguo sighed to his daughter: "No! Only if I go, can I save those people! Let it go. ”
Zhang Xiaosong asked puzzledly: "Which one is waiting?" She pondered for a moment and asked tentatively, "Daddy refers to the incident at Chongwen Academy?" But over the years, because of this tribute test, I don't know how many things are bigger than this! ”
Zhang Shuyuan shook his head and said, "Xiaosong, you are now the queen, don't just look at the surface when looking at things. Why did those people sue this year? Why did the emperor attach so much importance to it? Also, why did Jingzhao Mansion have an accident? ”
