949: The second brother-in-law is here [asking for monthly votes]
Chapter 949
Xun Zhen and Jiang Sheng have also been friends for many years.
Under normal circumstances, no matter how much the two of them argue, they will end it. After all, the quarrel is too ugly and affects official business. It is not easy for Jiang Sheng to bleed in a private gathering. But Jiang Sheng’s words just hit Xun Zhen’s weakness.
This person is most afraid of involving his family.
Even if his son is indeed not successful and has a bad mind, who wants him and his late wife to be like this? It's okay to say a few words of disdain, but Jiang Sheng's crow's mouth is not good enough.
This guy's scribe's way can really tell the difference between good and bad!
"Don't fight, don't fight-"
"Who is trying to stop me?"
"Don't push forward, all go back! Back! Back!"
"Well, you shameless bastard, you took the opportunity to sneak attack on me and avenge yourself, so I caught you!" Some people tried their best to persuade the fight, some were fishing in troubled waters for revenge, and some were pushed forward by people who were joining in the fun behind them, and their official hats and robes were all messed up.
Already.
"The postal post belongs to the Ministry of War, so don't rob it from the Ministry of Household Affairs!"
"The ones we beat are the evil-hearted ones like Hu Bu. Do you think the bacon given to the Rites Department canteen last year smells bad?"
"Who took off my pants!"
Those who roll up their sleeves to break up a fight, those who start a fight;
Take off your shoes and hit people, slap people in the face;
The spit star washes people's faces at close range...
While showing off their military virtues, the officials began to turn over old scores, including but not limited to salary delays, poor quality of salary, shortfalls, malicious rejection of leave requests, borrowing money and not returning it on time, and agreeing to go out for drinks and dinner together.
As a result, I escaped from the order...
At first, some officials tried to break up the fight, but after being accidentally injured many times, they angrily stuffed the hem of their clothes and kicked the plump buttocks of the person who was accidentally injured. This group fight made all the generals retreat, fearing that they would be thrown out from time to time.
injured by objects.
The battle ended with everyone playing "Fifty Big Board".
The Ministry of War relied on unity and friendship to protect the post office.
The plans of Xun Zhen and Hu Bu were temporarily in vain.
Shen Tang: "..."
Will her court meeting be at a vegetable market?
After the fight, all the officials still lowered their heads, but the atmosphere seemed more tense than before, and there was a tendency for a second outbreak at any time. Shen Tang rubbed his temples that were constantly bulging with a headache, not daring to think that these people were actually his ministers—
—Which idiot had pancakes hidden in his sleeves? The pancakes flew out! There was actually an egg hidden in his sleeve among them.
Kang State is truly blessed to have these ministers!
After the chaotic court meeting, Shen Tang exited Dingding. Her ears were still buzzing, and she ordered someone to summon Jiang Sheng.
When Jiang Sheng came, he still had scratches on his face.
There was a winner's smile on his face.
"I have met the Lord."
Shen Tang took a deep breath: "You just said in court that there would be a bloody disaster in Hanzhang's house. What did you mean by this?"
Even Shen Tang felt that this was inappropriate.
Who in the civil and military circles of the Manchu Dynasty didn't know that there was a happy event in Xun Zhen's house?
If you ignore the fact that you are pregnant before you are married, it should be regarded as a double happiness. A few days ago, Xun Zhen even asked her privately if she wanted to attend the ceremony. Shen Tang was willing to go over or reward the couple. This was a supreme honor. At the same time, Xun Zhen and his son were deeply favored by the king. proof of.
She has been a monarch and minister for many years, so she is naturally willing to give him this dignity.
It is unlucky to suffer a haemorrhage at this time.
It is especially inappropriate to fall on this newlywed couple, but Shen Tang knows Jiang Sheng, and his words will not be wrong. He said that if there is a bloody disaster in Xunzhen's house, something will happen. But I don't know, this prophecy will end On whose head will it be fulfilled?
Jiang Sheng said: "It depends on the situation. It shouldn't be serious."
Shen Tang asked again: "Did something happen to Alai?"
Gong Xilai has twins now. If something happens to her, she will probably have a miscarriage. Do you want to send a few people from the medical department to watch over her? Gong Xiqiu entrusts this sister to him so that nothing happens.
Just as he finished speaking, word spread outside that Xun Zhen was asking for an audience.
The two ministers looked at each other and looked a bit disgusting.
It was related to his friend's house, and Jiang Sheng did not hide anything because of the fight in the court. However, his anger was still lingering, so his title had a bit of a yin and yang aura: "It was the palace of Xun Shangshu's children that was darkened, and the bloody disaster came true on his son's head. After all, he is a courageous warrior who is not weak in strength and cultivation, and his injuries to his muscles and bones are not fatal."
Xun Zhen heard this and cupped her hands: "Thank you very much."
Jiang Sheng snorted and didn't like to answer.
If you want to seize the Ministry of War's cash cow, there is no way!
When he heard that Xun Ding would break his muscles and bones, Shen Tang didn't care. A brave warrior has rough skin and thick flesh, not to mention that there are dozens of Xinglin doctors in the medical department who have explored the method of regenerating amputated limbs on livestock. Yan Ling, for example, the imperial physician Ling Dong Dao, together with six Xinglin doctors last month, helped 12 veterans with minor disabilities to recover. These soldiers lost their fingers, arms, ears, or eyes in the war. It is said that the new part is exactly the same as the original one.
As long as Xun Ding is not dead, everything else is a trivial matter.
Shen Tang thought so, and Xun Zhen thought so too.
The emperor and his ministers all thought that Xun Ding's bloody disaster this time was either caused by him accidentally falling on the ground or something, or he was accidentally injured while sparring with others. Unexpectedly, they only guessed a quarter of it right. It was indeed left behind by sparring. An injury, but not an accidental injury.
This matter also starts with a report from Zhechong Mansion.
Attendant Ning Yan hurriedly asked to see him.
Seeing her nervous expression, Shen Tang thought something big had happened.
"My lord, please look."
Shen Tang became even more confused when he saw the cover of the memorial.
In order to improve efficiency, she stipulated that the contents of the memorials should be distinguished by different colors of covers and stamps according to their importance.
The things sent to Shen Tang are basically very important. Those who don't have much to do are the ones she chooses to respond to when she is free and in a good mood. Normally, she leaves it to other people to help reply. They are sent to various places. All documents that come in must be transcribed according to the process, leaving two backup copies. The one sent by Ning Yan is one of the backup copies. Look at the stamp, but the content is not important.
At this level, I don’t know how many I receive in a year.
It's not worth Ning Yan's personal trip.
But Shen Tang knew better that Ning Yan would not take aim without aim.
Out of curiosity, she opened the document sent from Zhechong Mansion and read the ten lines at a glance - no, when she saw the second line, her eyes couldn't move. She stared at it "Gongxi Qiu" "Three big words, not sure, then go down.
"When did Gong Xiqiu come back?"
After saying this, she was startled for a moment.
It's normal for Gong Xiqiu to come back at this juncture.
His sister was about to get married. It was unreasonable for Gong Xichou not to show up, and Xun Ding was not so brave as to not inform him. If you angered Gong Xichou, they would not care where you are, a general with a long halberd. It would give him a chill.
Shen Tang muttered: "Come back for the wedding..."
Then he whispered: "It's been several years, and I don't know if his brother and nephew have been found. Seeing that the situation with Bei Mo is tense, if Gong Xiqiu can come back, the pressure will be much less - pff, Gong Xiqiu Why did you get into a fight with Gong Cheng?"
Shen Tang almost choked on his saliva when he saw the back.
The information reported to Zhe Chong's house said that on a certain day in a certain month, the figure of General Gong Xiqiu was found near a post station. The enemy was strong, but Gong Xiqiu was defeated and seriously injured. The content also described in detail Gong Xiqiu's courage totem. The miserable appearance of being tortured.
Shen Tang was worried about losing his patience.
She jumped directly to the end of the memorial, and was relieved when she saw Gong Xiqiu being rescued by a group of rangers. Knowing that Gong Xiqiu was not in danger, Shen Tang drank water and pushed back the time. Looking at the northwest continent, the bright side The only one who could threaten Gong Xiqiu and beat him so miserably was Gong Cheng. The time when Gong Cheng appeared was also consistent with the time mentioned in the memorial.
Then think of Gong Cheng being ordered to kill the Gongxi clan.
Gong Xiqiu's enemy that day was him and he didn't escape.
Shen Tang looked at the time when the memorial was presented and when it was copied, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly: "What should Zhe Chong Mansion do?"
Such an important memorial was only delivered yesterday?
If the official who copied the memorial had not discovered that the memorial mentioned Gong Xichou and alerted Ning Yan, Shen Tang would not have seen it yet.
Ning Yan said: "The person who reported it was Zhechong Mansion in Jinli County."
Shen Tang: "..."
All counties and counties in Kunzhou, including Jinli County, were purged by Shen Tang. Zhechong Mansion in Jinli County had the biggest movement and the most personnel changes. During that time, it was chaotic, and it was not easy for Zhechong Mansion to send intelligence to it efficiently. It's normal to be lower.
She exhaled a breath: "But Gong Xiqiu didn't come."
Gong Xiqiu and Gong Cheng had a fight in the mountains of Guandao on the border of Jinli County, and Shen Tang lived in Jinli County during that time.
Why didn't Gong Xiqiu come to see her after so many days?
Could it be that he was seriously injured by Gong Cheng and couldn't get up?
Shen Tang couldn't help but worry about Gong Xiqiu's injury.
Ning Yan suddenly said: "Perhaps he went to Fengluo? He came back at this time, probably to attend the wedding. The Lord led hundreds of officials to inspect the royal court to investigate the case, and the people did not know about it. Gongxi Qiu naturally I didn’t know you were nearby at that time.”
Shen Tang: "...Well, I ignored this point."
Suddenly, she felt so blessed that she looked up at Ning Yan, slapped the table and said, "No, Gong Xiqiu is going to the capital of Fengluo?"
Ning Yan didn't know why her reaction was so big.
Said: "This is just Wei Chen's guess."
Shen Tang held the table with one hand, jumped out coolly, and shouted urgently: "It's over, where is Hanzhang now?"
With Gongxi Qiu's mind, he wouldn't mind if his sister got pregnant before marriage. After all, the women of the Gongxi tribe are very keen on leaving their fathers and leaving their children. Although Gongxi Lai is not an orthodox Gongxi tribesman, she is related to her. Gong Xiqiu has been with Gong Xiqiu for many years, and has absorbed some of the essence. Otherwise, he would not have been delayed to this age - but Gong Xiqiu would definitely mind getting married if he got pregnant before marriage! When he met Xun Ding, he didn't beat him to death. !
Shen Tang understood what happened to the "bloody disaster" mentioned by Jiang Sheng. It fell into the hands of Gong Xiqiu, and Xun Ding had no idea.
At that time, Wang Ting had already embarked on his return journey.
The time wasted in Kunzhou was a bit longer than expected. Shen Tang and the heads of the three provinces and six departments should not leave for too long. This resulted in no time to inspect other places in Kang State. When Shen Tang received the news, there were only two days left from the royal capital. daily distance.
Xun Zhen was startled when she saw the lord of the country rushing over.
"My lord, do you have anything important to say?"
Shen Tang asked: "When is Yong'an's wedding date?"
A smile appeared on Xun Zhen's face: "In three days."
The time is just right.
I can go back and rest for a day to see my son get married.
Shen Tang looked solemn: "We have to rush back as soon as possible. Order, speed up and rush back, shorten it to one day."
Xun Zhen didn't know why: "Why is this?"
Countless thoughts flashed through my mind.
Could it be a mutiny in the royal capital?
It can't be done. Who can do it if the royal capital is left behind?
Shen Tang shouted: "Gong Xiqiu is back!"
Voice-over, your son is going to be beaten!
Xun Zhen: "..."
The officials who were standing still were suddenly forced to speed up. Even if they didn't want to speed up, those words and spirits were added to them, and even the short legs of the bastard could smoke. The closer to the capital, the more people there were in the official road. , many people saw on this day a team of hundreds of people running past with the light of the spirit of speech, and the speed far exceeded the prescribed limit. If it were not for the team flag, they would have been stopped and given a ticket.
The royal capital, Fengluo.
The city walls are tall, the buildings are majestic, and the city is bustling with traffic.
At this moment, night falls.
Thousands of lights illuminate the sky and the blue clouds shine, and the high-rise buildings are full of people. There are many shops on both sides of the road, and the goods are dizzying. People walking on the street have different faces, ranging from old men and women in their sixties and seventies to those in their fifties and sixties. Young children, young men and women walking together without hesitation. The atmosphere here is open, women dress boldly and passionately, and their makeup is exquisite and gorgeous.
From time to time, you can see many people dressed in smart clothes. Although they don't have graceful figures, they are all tall and their wrist guards clearly outline the lines of their arms. However, these are not the point. The point is that if you look around, there are few
The clothes of the common people are patched.
Not only will your clothes be clean, your complexion will also be healthy.
This is very different from what Fang Yan has seen in various places.
"Shen Jun should win."
After many years of separation, Fang Yan still felt regretful when mentioning the old things again, but then he thought about it, this was also the wish that his eldest brother had pursued throughout his life. This wish could be fulfilled in the hands of Shen Jun, and eldest brother Quanxia was also relieved to know that at least he had not made the wrong friends.
Wrong person.
Shaochong had already eaten until his cheeks were bulging.
Both hands were filled with food bought along the way.
"Wow, wow, wow, Sixth Brother, come and see, isn't this the specialty of Qiguo? And here, there is Haicuo here, it smells so fresh... Brother Twelve, will you allow me to eat two more skewers?"
Shaochong's stomach felt like a bottomless pit, but he would go into every restaurant he saw to buy something to try, whether it was baked, fried, boiled, steamed... sour, sweet, bitter and spicy.
Chao Lian and others approached Jimo Qiu to persuade him without paying the bill.
Even though he had no concept of money, he also knew that the gold, silver, and pearls in Jimo Qiu's braids could be exchanged for good things.
"Don't eat too much at night, it's not good for your health."
Chao Lian and Fang Yan simply couldn't hold Shao Chong back.
He said helplessly: "There will be plenty of opportunities to eat it all slowly in the future. Let's find a place to stay tonight and be obedient."
Fourth Uncle Lin and Gong Xiqiu had already gone to inquire about the location of Gu Mansion.
However, Uncle Lin was the only one who came back.
Fang Yan asked: "Where is he?"
Fourth Uncle Lin said: "I went to inquire about the location of Xun Mansion."
Fang Yan's mouth twitched.
"He's not planning to knock on the door late at night, is he?"
Fourth Uncle Lin was about to answer when he saw Gong Xiqiu coming back with a gloomy face, which surprised the others. Gong Xiqiu knew what they were thinking at a glance: "We can't do anything in Fengluo."
Mama knew about it, but she still didn't break him up.
"Tomorrow, take him out of the city and beat him!"
Fourth Uncle Lin and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
They were really afraid that Gong Xiqiu would make a big fuss if he didn't care.
