Cao Hao has been operating Zhili for two years, even if it cannot be said that Zhili has a new look, everyone knows that Zhili's current development momentum is just right.

The governor of Zhili and the governor of Zhili were only powerful in the eyes of people earlier, and the reputation of "the first minister of the world" was good, but now they are also "just right", and it is appropriate to "gain fame and fortune".

This is also the reason why so many people are staring at Tang Zhiyu, because he is the most likely candidate to succeed Cao Hao as the governor or governor of Zhili.

I didn't want to be impeached several times, and I attacked several times, but I didn't bring down Tang Zhiyu. The emperor gave a chaste archway, clearly protecting the Tang Dynasty and holding the jade, even if those people were not angry, they did not dare to do it again.

The tragedy of Qingyuan City on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month gave those people the deed to open the door of Zhili officialdom, and they would never let go of this opportunity.

It's just that because of the distance of hundreds of miles, the news is slow, and it is not obvious now.

The Doge's Palace, the official residence.

After returning from Qingyu Hall, the expression of the thirteenth elder brother was a little solemn.

Cao Hao's heart was also heavy, and hundreds of casualties were unbearable pain for Qing Yuan; When the emperor heard this, he would be shocked, but he would not send down the prime minister he relied on the most.

In addition to understanding the people's feelings and appeasing the people, the most important thing is to investigate the "criminal responsibility".

This cannot be considered a natural disaster, it can only be regarded as "[***]".

Qingyuan Zhixian can't run away, but the weight is not enough, it is not the prefect of Baoding...... Cao Hao thought about dragging the sick body, and Zhu Zhilian, who was running around to accommodate the casualties, couldn't help but look gloomy.

Sure enough, I listened to the thirteenth elder brother: "Cao Hao, the lord went out of Beijing this time, brought the emperor's will to depose Zhu Zhilian, and ordered the lord to return to Beijing before he returned to Beijing, and sent Zhu Zhilian back to the Criminal Department for trial......"

When Cao Hao heard this, he couldn't help but be moved.

If you want to dismiss the official, you have to ask again if the crime is not true?

Even if Zhu Zhilian, as the prefect of Baoding, can't get out of touch with this matter, shouldn't he deal with it so seriously?

Cao Hao's expression was full of doubts, and he interceded for Zhu Zhilian in front of the thirteenth elder brother: "Thirteenth master, Zhu Zhifu has always been diligent in government and loves the people, and it is really not what he wants when such a thing happens." If he hadn't worked hard all night, he wouldn't have stopped the situation, and he didn't know what chaos would have happened. ”

The thirteenth elder brother waved his hand and said, "You don't have to say this to your master, the emperor will not know no one who knows anyone, if it weren't for Zhu Zhilian's character as a guard, he wouldn't have ordered him to be the Marquis of Chengen...... It's just that in this beach, someone must admit responsibility. Stopping at Zhu Zhilian, the prefect, the weight is enough, otherwise it will be too big, and it will inevitably cause the officialdom of Zhili to shake. It's just a formality, and it's not really hard for him...... Although you are well-managed, two years is too short after all......"

The words of the thirteenth elder brother were subtle, but Cao Hao also understood that the emperor acted like this to protect Tang Zhiyu.

At the juncture when Cao Hao was about to return to Beijing, if Tang Zhiyu was to be held accountable for the crime of stampede causing casualties to the people, it would be difficult for him to succeed as the governor of Zhili.

Cao Hao let out a long sigh, although Tang Zhiyu had known him for a longer time and had a deeper friendship, Zhu Zhilian's character and deeds had always been respected by him.

He felt panicked in his heart, and said: "If all the faults are blamed on Zhu Zhifu, I am afraid that the responsibility is not light, what does the Thirteenth Master think will be disposed of?" ”

The thirteenth elder brother pondered for a while, and said, "It's nothing more than dismissal, seizure, and favor...... You don't have to worry, Ming Taizu will always have someone to sacrifice, and the title of Marquis of En, which he has taken, will also be inherited by his eldest son......"

When Cao Hao heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

I heard the thirteenth elder brother continue: "Today, when I see Zhu Zhilian, although he is a little old-fashioned, he cherishes the people, and he can be described as a capable official. I heard that he is related to your wife, these words, you take the time to remind him, so that he knows in his heart. When the time comes, he doesn't have anything to think about. ”

Although watching Zhu Zhilian act as a person, it doesn't seem like he can "commit suicide in fear of sin", but he also has to be afraid of being frightened and unable to endure it.

Just now, when Shang first ascended the throne, he was short of manpower, and remembered that Wang Yi, the master of Meng, who had just been assigned to the Northwest Army, issued a decree to summon him back to Beijing.

When Wang Yiyin taught in his early years, he had a strict attitude and had a bad relationship with Jinshang, and when he saw the will, he thought that the emperor was going to dispose of himself, so he was so frightened that he committed suicide by swallowing gold.

If Zhu Zhilian was frightened or felt wronged in his heart, he also followed Wang Yi's example and gave his surname in vain, wouldn't he be wronged?

Although the thirteenth elder brother is well-intentioned, this is obviously not a good errand.

But Cao Hao knew that there could be no delay, the thirteenth elder brother was the emperor's right-hand man, and he would never leave Beijing for too long.

He nodded, and the matter should be settled.

After talking about business, the thirteenth elder brother proposed to visit the Li family and the Zhaojia family.

Cao Hao first sent people to the inner house to spread the word, and he accompanied the thirteenth elder brother to sit for half a cup of tea before accompanying him out of the official residence.

In the Li family's room, the Zhao Jia family was pulling the Li family, talking about the matter of Jin Sun Bai.

Su Xin gave birth to a son-in-law at the end of July, and some time ago, the news of the son was sent, and Chu Yu had already sent someone to Henan to send congratulatory gifts. Counting the time, these two days are the period of the full moon.

Although the second room of Dongfu already has a grandson, the youngest son is sick and the heir is hopeless, which is always a hidden pain for the Zhaojia family.

Now, times have changed.

If it weren't for the upcoming draft, he would be returning to Beijing soon, and Zhao Jia's family would go to Henan to eat his grandson's full moon wine.

"Amitabha, I was originally worried that Xiao Wu and their room, although they have a heavenly protector, are not their own children...... It's fine now, even if I can't smack for a while, I can close my eyes. Since he got the news, he has repeated the words one hundred and eighty times, and Zhao Jiashi has pulled it out and recited it again.

Li listened with a smile, although he was happy for his nephew and nephew, he thought of the embarrassing Tianhu, and he felt a little unbearable.

Since there are children in the fifth room, the identity of the heir of Tianhu is not real.

Knowing this, it would be better if it didn't succeed at the beginning, and when he grew up, he would support the door, and his uncles would never watch his nephew suffer, and would always arrange it properly.

At this time, Chu Yu had already brought the maid over to pass the word, and said: "Old lady, the old man sent someone to the inner house to spread the word, the thirteenth master went to Qingyuan on an errand, and now he is in the governor's mansion, and he will come to visit the old lady and the second old lady later." ”

When Li heard this, he was very surprised.

You must know that in the Qing Dynasty, the clan cannot easily leave Beijing.

Li lived in Jiangnan with her husband for decades, and rarely heard the news of the clan going to Jiangnan except for the clan and the prince accompanying him during the holy grandfather's southern tour. Even if a prince is ordered to go south, it will not be a turn in ten years and eight years.

But as his son arrived at the realm of Zhili, the number of people who appeared in Qingyuan in this princely clan was a slap.

Zhao Jia's side saw that Li didn't speak, and hurriedly said, "Good sister-in-law, what are you still doing?" Since you want to see the Thirteenth Master, you must always show respect for it. ”

Li nodded, and the maids waited to change into the big clothes of the guests, and so did Zhao Jia.

As soon as the two of them finished cleaning up, Cao Hao had already arrived with the thirteenth elder brother.

The Li family and the Zhaojia family wanted to meet each other for a national ceremony, but were stopped by the thirteenth elder brother.

The thirteenth elder brother first asked about the current situation of the Li family, and when he saw that she was in good health, he relieved his heart; He also mentioned two sentences about the draft to Zhao Jia's family.

I heard that the Thirteenth Fujin once said that when the fourth sister entered Beijing, someone would take her to live in the palace, and Zhao Jia's family was so happy that they couldn't close their mouths.

After staying in front of the Li family for half a cup of tea, the thirteenth elder brother got up to say goodbye...... * The next time, when Cao Hao was thinking about how to complete the entrustment of the thirteenth elder brother in the official residence, the little servant came in and said: "Master, Master Liu from the prefect's yamen is here." ”

Cao Hao and Zhu Zhilian are familiar with each other, and they know that Liu Chuan is acting steadily, and if there is no urgency, he will not come in person this early in the morning.

"Pass in!" Cao Hao commanded.

One time less, Liu Chuan arrived.

His eyebrows and eyes were full of exhaustion, his voice was already hoarse, and after giving Cao Hao a salute, he directly stated his intentions: "Lord Duxian, our master can't stand it, he hasn't closed his eyes seriously for several days, and he has fainted many times in the past two days, after all, he is old." The student advised him to raise a few days, but he refused; The student is a practical method, so he came to ask Lord Duxian to be the master......"

Cao Hao stood up and said, "In this case, the governor will go to visit him."

Liu Chuan listened and breathed a sigh of relief.

Cao Hao explained to the several scribes on duty in the official residence, and then came out with Liu Chuan.

When the two arrived at the prefect's yamen, they were empty, Zhu Zhilian was not in the prefect's yamen, but went to Qingyutang.

When he arrived at Qingyutang, he didn't see Zhu Zhilian, but Yao Fang had a straight face, looked at the supplement on Cao Hao's body, and sneered: "This is a medical hall, not a yamen!"

Cao Hao knew that the masters were temperamental, and he didn't care about him, so after nodding at him, he walked in directly...... Zhu Zhilian's face was sallow, his eyes were closed, and he lay upright, looking lifeless.

"My lord......" Liu Chuan choked up, walked to the bedside, and looked at Zhu Zhilian, who didn't know what to do, and was speechless.

At this time, Dr. Song got the news and came to say goodbye.

Cao Hao asked Zhu Zhilian about his illness carefully, but the more he listened, the heavier he became.

According to Dr. Song, Zhu Zhilian was "overly worried", and it was difficult to sleep and eat, which made his body weak and invaded by external evils.

Now Zhu Zhilian is unconscious, because among the medicines he just took, there is a medicine that can be used to calm the nerves.

In order to let Zhu Zhilian calm down and cultivate, Cao Hao finally ordered Zhu Zhilian to assign all the errands in his hand according to Liu Chuan's request, and he was not allowed to go in person.

Zhu Zhilian got the news, was stunned for a long time, changed into a supplementary suit, and made the little servant hold the worship box and go to the governor's mansion in person.

When the little guy returned, Zhu Zhilian came, and Cao Hao let out a long sigh.

Zhu Zhilian had obviously guessed something, and his face was very calm.

The thirteenth elder brother has already set a return date, and Cao Hao didn't have time to rub in, so he told Zhu Zhilian directly.

When Zhu Zhilian heard this, he was not excited, but his expression was calm, and he said: "As a parent in a place, I have killed dozens of people because of my negligence, and I should be severely punished......."
