At this time, in a quiet alley a hundred steps east of Zhongshu Province, a carriage was parked, with a plump young woman and an uncle sitting in the carriage. ↑
"How was the check?"
"It has been found out that one of our people once met a woodcutter who accidentally met the Li family's young master and the Peng family's daughter, and followed him for a while. However, after investigating the details of the woman, he did not continue to pursue him.
, Firstly, the Young Master of the Li family acted very cautiously and almost discovered him several times. Secondly, this was very common in the capital, and it was not considered an anecdote. Like the yamen and the others, they would have trysts with some women almost every month.
, Thirdly, we are also very short of manpower, and the superiors assigned him a new task, but I didn't expect such a big thing to happen. Oh, this is that person's work diary."
This woman is Li Qi's wife, Bai Qiannuo, and this uncle is the current paparazzi manager in Bianjing, Yuzhuang.
Bai Qiannuo took the diary, read it, and then said, "It seems that what Li Xian said is true. He and Peng Hualei have indeed known each other for a long time."
Yu Zhuang said: "Even so, Li Xian's suspicion of murder cannot be ruled out. In fact, many young masters use tough methods."
"good."
Bai Qiannuo nodded and said: "But this is such a coincidence. Recently, Li Gang was preparing to join forces with Mao Shu, Zhao Zhi and the others to put pressure on Qin Hui and force Qin Hui to be more restrained. But it happened at this stage. If Li Gang
If what Xian Xian said in Dali Temple that day was true, then this matter must be related to Qin Hui, because he benefited the most from this matter, and he will definitely use this matter to attack Li Gang. If Li Gang falls, then Qin Hui will lose a tough one
enemy."
"No matter whether Qin Hui did this or not, he will definitely not miss this opportunity." Yu Zhuang added: "Fortunately, madam, you had the foresight to invite the queen here."
"Unless I had any foresight, I actually didn't know what to do at first."
Bai Qiannuo shook his head gently and said: "It was my mother who said that Li Gang has always been proud of his integrity. People like this are very face-saving. According to his temper, Qin Hui only needs to provoke him with a few words.
, Li Gang might lose his composure and ask for an official position to show his innocence, which would play into Qin Hui's hands, so my mother asked me to invite the queen. Although the queen has no power, Li Gang is one of the deans of the Second Academy. Unless he
Either he becomes an official, or the emperor personally removes him. Otherwise, no one has the power to remove Li Gang. The queen only needs to prevent Li Gang from becoming an official.
Qin Hui would not be stupid enough to offend the current queen for such a trivial matter. Not only that, no one in the court dared to underestimate the queen. My husband once told me that the queen is very important in the emperor's mind. To be able to get the present queen
The emperor's favor means that the queen must be an unusual person. In fact, I didn't say it explicitly at the time, I just mentioned it. But the queen still came, which shows that she didn't want Li Gang to become an official."
Yu Zhuang said: "If that's the case, then what else is Madam worried about?"
Bai Qiannuo said: "Having said that, Qin Hui has actually won. When the Supreme Emperor was in power, these officials' children often did evil and oppressed the people, causing the people to hate these officials' children from the bottom of their hearts. Now this matter has broken out, so no matter what
Whether it was Li Xian who did it or not, as long as no completely convincing evidence can be found, the people will still regard Li Xian as the murderer. Unless Li Xian is beheaded and displayed to the public, the people's anger can be vented. Otherwise, once he is released, no matter what the reason, then the people will
Everyone will think that this is official protection, which will have a very bad negative impact on Li Gang. Therefore, if Li Gang wants to restore his reputation, he must abandon his son and make an early decision. If he wants to protect his son, his official position is likely to be
No guarantee.”
Yu Zhuang nodded and said: "What Madam said, if this matter is really controlled by Qin Hui, then this person is really terrible. No matter what Li Gang does, he will face a huge blow, which is really shocking
It’s impossible to guard against it,”
Bai Qiannuo sighed: "This is officialdom. Those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish. If you defeat the enemy, you will only be defeated by the enemy. There is no third way to go. Li Gang is actually not a good person. He
He is also consolidating his own power, and for this reason he always opposes Qin Hui in order to win over those who are at odds with Qin Hui. Li Gang controls the Judicial Yuan, which is too dangerous for Qin Hui, so he must deal with it.
Li Gang, my husband had expected this a long time ago, but he didn't expect that Qin Hui would be so vicious and put Li Gang into an unkind and unjust place. On one side was his son and on the other was his career. Li Gang could only admit defeat this time.
Already."
This is indeed a life-threatening choice. Yu Zhuang nodded in agreement and said, "Madam, do you want us to send someone to help Li Gang find evidence?"
Bai Qiannuo shook his head and said: "No need, Qin Hui thought that everything he did was perfect, but in fact he has been trapped in the situation for a long time. All we can do now is to protect Li Gang and ignore the rest. Now Qin Hui covers the sky with one hand.
It’s better not to offend him.”
At this moment, someone outside suddenly said: "Madam, the Third Secretary is here."
When Yu Zhuang heard this, he said, "Madam, I'll take my leave now."
"Go ahead."
Not long after Yu Zhuang left, Zheng Yi came. As soon as he got on the carriage, he smiled and said: "I was wondering how the Queen came so timely. It turns out it was Qiniang who was behind the scenes."
Bai Qiannuo said hurriedly: "I'm not up to anything, it's just that yesterday I took my son to the palace to ask the queen for advice on parenting experience, and I just said something casually. Don't try to drag me into the water. Now that my husband is not here, I can't win the fight.
Qin Hui."
This girl really has the essence of a privy envoy, and her words are as if they come from the mouth of one person. Zheng Yi smiled and fell silent.
Bai Qiannuo asked again: "How is the situation now?"
Zheng Yidao: "Fortunately the Queen is here, otherwise the Judicial Yuan will have to change the day. You didn't see it just now. Qin Hui was unreasonable and pursued and beat Li Gang fiercely, forcing Li Gang to take up his official position. Then the Queen came
, he restrained himself, but he did not give up, and finally decided to let Li Gang avoid suspicion, report illness at home, and let the Judicial Yuan be in charge of judicial matters temporarily. "
Bai Qiannuo asked in surprise: "Why not the Vice President of the Judicial Yuan?"
Zheng Yi sighed: "The vice-president is Li Gang's brother-in-law. We were admitted to the Jinshi together. How could Qin Hui agree?"
Bai Qiannuo Dai frowned slightly and said: "I have also heard about the matter of the Magistrate of the Judicial Yuan. He was working in the Ministry of Punishment at the beginning, but after the Ministry of Punishment came out of the sixth department, Li Gang did not touch him. He must not be Qin Hui's person, right?
"
Zheng Yidao: "This governor's name is Xing Guan. He is full of knowledge and is proficient in all the details of the Ministry of Justice, from laws to autopsy. This is the main reason why Li Gang retained him. However, although this man is proficient in academics,
But he lacked a bit of courage. Li Gang also told me just now. If Xing Guan is in charge of the Judicial Yuan, he will definitely keep his three-acre land and will not dare to provoke Qin Hui. Without Li Gang, a radical, the others
They can't be united either. People like Chen Dong, Mao Shu and others are loyal to their duties and not good at fighting in the court."
Bai Qiannuo nodded and said, "Then Qin Hui will have fewer obstacles."
"Who said it wasn't?"
Zheng Yi sighed as he spoke and said with a frown: "But this is too much of a coincidence. It doesn't happen early, it doesn't happen late, and it happens at this critical moment. I think it is most likely Qin Hui who secretly manipulated it. This is also his usual habit.
Wasn't that the trick he used to frame Uncle Wang in the first place, but this time, he also took an innocent life. It's really despicable."
Bai Qiannuo smiled bitterly and said: "Second brother, please calm down. If you can defeat Qin Hui at the cost of one life, what would you do?"
Zheng Yi was startled, moved his lips a few times, and finally fell silent.
This is the cruelty of politics. Whether it is Qin Hui, Li Qi, or even Zhao Kai, none of them has blood on their hands.
Bai Qiannuo said no more and said: "Now that Li Gang has fallen, Qin Hui's next step will definitely be to deal with you, second brother. Second brother, you have to deal with it as soon as possible."
Zheng Yi nodded and said, "I know that."
"Then I wonder what the second brother has to do?"
"I don't have a clue yet. Now that Qin Hui has the initiative, I can only resort to tricks."
Bai Qiannuo glanced at him and said: "Second brother, Qin Hui is extremely ambitious and extremely powerful. After the emperor left, on the one hand, he managed the country in an orderly manner and won the support of many people, but on the other hand, he secretly
To deal with you, even if the emperor comes back, he will only praise Qin Hui, so second brother, you can't protect yourself, because even if you tolerate, Qin Hui will easily let you go, so instead of doing this, it is better to take the initiative to attack."
Zheng Yi glanced sideways and said, "Is there anything you can do?"
Bai Qiannuo said: "The budget system, now that the budget system has been prepared for a long time, it's time to give it a try. The second brother can try this budget system on the projects of the Ministry of Industry. In that case, even if we don't rely on the Judicial Yuan, the second brother can give it a try."
Brother also has reasons to intervene in the Ministry of Industry's investigation. I don't believe that the Ministry of Industry controls so many projects and there is nothing fishy about them. Qin Hui has been using the construction of hospitals and colleges to win over local officials and consolidate his power in the local area. Secondly,
You can also use the budget system to consolidate local power. After all, the money is in your hands. If you don’t allocate money, local officials will not be able to achieve political results."
Zheng Yidao: "But Qin Hui is very cunning. If you want to catch him like this, I don't think it's possible."
Bai Qiannuo smiled and said: "But at least you can make him fearful and force him to make concessions to you. Moreover, I can lend you the weapons supervision first, and you can also use the budget system to intervene in the weapons supervision. There is a war now. If
With the weapons supervisor in hand, it will not be easy for Qin Hui to touch you."
Zheng Yi thought for a long time and suddenly asked: "Is this what you meant, or was it what the Privy Council envoy told you?"
"Second brother is still afraid that I will harm you."
"It's not that I'm afraid of you, but the Privy Councilor is too cunning. I don't want to be a swordsman for him. You also know that I have been taken advantage of by him more than once."
Bai Qiannuo blushed and looked a little embarrassed. It seems that her husband's reputation is really going to improve. She said helplessly: "Husband, he is not a god. How could he have counted until today? This is actually what my mother asked me to tell you."
As for you, my mother said that Qin Hui today is even more ruthless than Grand Master Cai back then. There are only two ways to fight against him, either you die or he dies, so he will not let any enemy go."
Zheng Yi has no doubts about this. After all, he has grown up under Mrs. Bai's watch, and he also knows that Mrs. Bai is not an ordinary woman. That Mrs. Bai is indispensable for Bai Shizhong to climb to the position of right minister.
He said: "This is not caused by the Privy Councilor. If he hadn't promoted Qin Hui in the first place, why would we be in trouble today?"
"Second brother, you are here again." Bai Qiannuo said: "My husband needed Qin Hui's help at that time. Otherwise, no matter how capable my husband is, he would not be able to deal with Wang Fu and Cai You on the one hand, and on the other hand carry out reforms to eliminate Jiangnan.
Unfortunately, we have to deal with the Jin army later to help the emperor ascend the throne, and we have to clear out those old forces. If Qin Hui hadn't helped, the emperor and my husband would have had a lot of trouble. Promoting Qin Hui to prime minister was the emperor's own wish.
After all, the emperor has witnessed Qin Hui's ability with his own eyes, and given the situation at that time, who do you think is more suitable than Qin Hui, this has nothing to do with my husband."
This is not true at all. Although Li Qi is the main planner, Qin Hui is the main executor. At that time, the officialdom in Jiangnan had reached an extreme level. Officials protected each other and were monolithic. If you want to clean up the officialdom, you will not send anyone with courage and means.
If people go, you won't be able to move at all, and you might just create a big joke.
At that time, Li Qi either went there himself, or he had no choice but to appoint Qin Hui. Later in the Kaifeng defense battle, it was Qin Hui who appeased the people in the city, mobilized the people, and took charge of logistics. He provided great help to Li Qi, and later when he launched a coup.
, Li Qi was in Yanyun, and it was Qin Hui who helped Zhao Kai clear out all the old forces and consolidate the throne. This was a great achievement. Of course, Zhao Kai regarded Qin Hui as his confidant.
Zheng Yi was speechless and said: "It was the second brother who made a mistake. It was the second brother who made a mistake. I was just complaining."
At this moment, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside, and then Lu Meimei's voice came, "Madam, it's bad, someone just came from the Grand Master's Mansion and said that the Grand Master passed away this morning."
Zheng and Bai were both stunned when they heard this.
After a while, Bai Qiannuo closed his eyes and sighed: "It seems that Qin Hui's luck is better than we expected."
Although Cai Jing has been in office for a long time and has no power anymore, he is the most powerful think tank around Li Qi. After all, he has been the prime minister for decades. This experience alone is unmatched by anyone. Moreover, Cai Jing’s political methods
They are very knowledgeable and knowledgeable. When Li Qi was in the capital, he often went to Cai Jing for advice. Now that Li Qi is gone, Bai Qiannuo has to seek help from Cai Jing for many problems. Cai Jing passed away at this time, so he would obviously pay attention to Bai Qiannuo.
Caused a very big impact.
So for Qin Hui, it is naturally a good thing.
Now Qin Hui's fortune seems to have reached its peak.
