MTL - Long Wind Crossing-Chapter 104
Because they are all his own direct descendants, the outside world does not know. So Fan Xuan secretly transferred people, but he clearly instructed the Censor to supervise Gu Jiusi's case.
On the day the Censorship Department got the order, Ye Shian immediately presented a number of misconducts in this case by the Criminal Department, and asked the Criminal Department to transfer the case to the Censorship Department. And the people from the Punishment Department did not show weakness, and the next day they joined Ye Shian to bend the law for personal gain and colluded with Gu Jiusi.
The Department of Punishment can step on Gu Jiusi, after all, Gu Jiusi is helpless, but the Department of Punishment stepped on Ye Shi'an so much, the Censor's Desk directly participated in the trivial matters of all the members of the Department of Punishment the next day.
The two sides fought a war of words for a few days, swearing in the courtroom, and Fan Xuan's five thousand elite soldiers were finally transferred to the Eastern Capital.
The night when five thousand elite soldiers arrived, Fan Xuan summoned Lu Yong into the palace.
Lu Yong has been very uneasy these days. He used almost all of his people to stabilize the relationship between the punishment department and let the punishment department not hand over Gu Jiusi to the Censor. He knew very well in his heart that once the Ministry of Punishment handed over Gu Jiusi to the Censor's Desk, Liu Chun's death would inevitably be exposed. He didn't know how much Fan Xuan knew about this matter, and he couldn't figure out how much Fan Xuan's tolerance for this matter was. So he was frightened every day, afraid that Fan Xuan would find him, or that Fan Xuan would not find him. Now that Fan Xuan came to Lu Yong, Lu Yong suddenly settled down.
He asked the **** who came to pass the decree to wait for a while, then changed into the official uniform, and followed into Fan Xuan's palace.
The **** did not let him meet him in the imperial study, but came to Fan Xuan's bedroom. When Lu Yong came in, Fan Xuan was washing his feet. He was wearing a white single coat, and there was no one around to serve. He used an ordinary basin. He sat there alone, making Lu Yong think for a while that he was still in Youzhou and Fan Xuan had not yet become one. when the official. At that time, Fan Xuan was like this. He often saw him at night. They discussed official affairs together, and they also played chess and chatted.
Lu Yong felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, he could not guess what Fan Xuan meant, he could only kneel respectfully and saluted Fan Xuan.
Fan Xuan did not let him get up immediately, he stared blankly at the gate of the hall, his feet soaked in warm water, and slowly said: "When I was young, people told me that there is no constant in this world. There is no brotherhood in people. Brotherhood is the most unreliable friendship in the world. I don't believe in these. I always feel that people, people, the amount of heart you give to each other, the other party will give you back as much heart as you like. ."
Speaking, he turned to look at Lu Yong, the conversation changed, but he said, "Old Lu, we have known each other for twenty years, right?"
"Twenty-four years." Lu Yong knelt on the ground and choked, "The same list."
Fan Xuan nodded, looking a little dazed.
He didn't speak, Lu Yong knelt down, and after a long time, Fan Xuan suddenly said, "Is the money so good?"
When Lu Yong heard this, his heart suddenly settled.
I didn't feel uneasy either, I suddenly felt as if everything had settled and my head fell off and a big scar was no big deal. Fan Xuan didn't know if he was waiting for him to answer, but he didn't say anything. After a long time, Lu Yong took a deep breath, but looked up at Fan Xuan: "Why are you the emperor?"
Fan Xuan was stunned, Lu Yong looked at him, and said seriously: "If it's not for money and power, why are you an emperor?"
Fan Xuan was silent, and after a long time, he suddenly smiled bitterly.
"If I told you, I never wanted to be emperor, would you believe it?"
"Then why are you arguing with King Liang?"
Lu Yong spoke calmly, Fan Xuan lowered his head, took the veil from the side, and said slowly, "He is not a good emperor."
"So are you?"
Lu Yong continued to ask, Fan Xuan's movements froze, he frowned and looked up at Lu Yong: "What do you mean? Is it not good enough?"
Lu Yong laughed, but did not speak, he respectfully kowtowed: "I know I am wrong."
Fan Xuan felt a little uncomfortable, he restrained his emotions, handed the handkerchief to Zhang Fengxiang who was waiting, and said slowly: "Actually, I know what you did. Ten million taels, Just make it up. If you can't make it up yourself, you give me a list and I'll ask for it."
"I won't kill you in the end," Fan Xuan sighed, "Why did you go to the point of murder?"
Lu Yong understood, Fan Xuan came to explain his way out to him tonight. Lu Yong thought for a while, thinking about the truth and falsehood of Fan Xuan's words. After a long time, he said, "I understand."
"You are still my brother after all." Fan Xuan advised, "Don't go the wrong way, let alone leave your heart."
"The minister is confused."
"Old Lu," Fan Xuan hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Gu Jiusi is a man of talent, you are not too young, you should take good care of your life, and leave the affairs of the Ministry of Household to the He, you should take him with you."
Lu Yong didn't echo again, he knelt on the ground, his spine stiff. It is not indigestible. It is expected that it is still a little embarrassing to face it.
Fan Xuan looked at the white hair mixed with Lu Yong's black hair, and couldn't bear it in his heart. He sighed and said, "Old Lu, as long as I'm here for one day, I can keep you safe in your old age."
These words made Lu Yong have to face them. He slowly tightened his fists and said on his knees, "So, does Your Majesty mean to let Weichen resign?"
"Old Lu," Fan Xuan lowered his head, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and said, "What is your sin, you should have known."
After a long time, Lu Yong took a deep breath and kowtowed: "Thank you Lord Longen."
"Find a time and take Gu Jiusi to have dinner with your friends."
Fan Xuan instructed: "Train him as his own apprentice."
"Your Majesty," Lu Yong digested Fan Xuan's meaning and frowned, "Do you want Gu Jiusi to be the Minister of the Household?"
Fan Xuan nodded and stretched out his hand, Lu Yong hurried forward and supported Fan Xuan, Fan Xuan stood up with his strength and said, "Although he is young, he He has his talent."
Lu Yong helped Fan Xuan to walk into the courtyard, Fan Xuan seemed to be having an ordinary conversation, and slowly said: "I don't worry about Jiang He. Gu Jiusi's qualifications are afraid It's hard to gain a foothold, but in a position like the Minister of the Household, you can't just use people. Besides," Fan Xuan turned to look at Lu Yong and smiled, "Is there still you?"
This made Lu Yong stunned: "Your Majesty..."
"Old Lu," Fan Xuan stopped in the courtyard and sighed, "Don't let down my painstaking efforts. You and I are monarchs, friends, but also brothers. It's not easy for people to go through ups and downs for decades."
Lu Yong felt a little sour in his heart.
He took a step back, and subconsciously wanted to kneel, Fan Xuan reached out his hand to stop him, shook his head, but said, "Don't do this."
"I don't have many years," Fan Xuan smiled bitterly, "Let me be Fan Xuan a little more, don't be Your Majesty."
Lu Yong's eyes were red, but he didn't insist, Fan Xuan and him seemed to be a little tired when walking in the courtyard, so Lu Yong kept supporting him, but he pumped his energy and continued: "Actually, you I understand. You ask me why I was the emperor when I was young, for the common people, but now, you don't believe it. I thought about it, money, I don't want it. But right, probably for those of us, all I can't let it go. Actually, Lao Lu, you're okay. You're poor and afraid, and you don't care if you have power or not. As long as your pocket is full, your heart is enough. But Lao Zhou and I are different. We have too many hearts. I will never be satisfied. I want to be the emperor when I become Jiedu, and I want to rule the world when I become an emperor. What do you mean when you fight for the sake of the people, isn’t it also the suffering of the people and the suffering of the people?”
Fan Xuan smiled lightly, and continued: "I know why you think I am not a good emperor, isn't it just for Yu'er? You are not convinced that the world is handed over to Yu'er. But what can I do? I am also his son."
"But..." Lu Yong was eager to speak, and Fan Xuan continued, "I don't have the energy and ability anymore to accept the harem. Now that I have another child, it's just that there are more brothers. Nothing will change."
"Old Lu," Fan Xuan walked up the steps with him, Fan Xuan's footsteps were a little vain, he was injured in the battle when he entered the Eastern Capital, Lu Yong knew, he wanted to persuade him, But because of Fan Xuan's stubborn temper, he was silent. The two climbed the steps all the way, Fan Xuan felt tired, sat on the promenade to rest, looked at the scenery in the courtyard from a height, did not look back, slowly said: "Yu'er has a good heart, you look at him growing up. Da, what's wrong with him in the future, you have to worry about it."
Lu Yong pursed his lips and finally said: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen knows."
Fan Xuan sat on the promenade, he did not respond, and after a long time, the wind blew slowly, he stood up again, bowed his head and said, "Let's go."
Fan Xuan called Lu Yong into the palace early the next day, Lu Yong resigned.
The news shocked the entire court, Fan Xuan and Lu Yong pulled three rounds in the courtroom, one said they wanted to leave, the other said they wanted to stay, and after playing back and forth for a few rounds, Fan Xuan finally showed an unbearable look on his face, and personally got off the golden seat to receive Lu Yong's resignation.
This is the first important news of the day. Immediately afterwards, Fan Xuan announced that the Criminal Department was not doing well, and transferred Liu Chun's case to the Censor's Desk for handling, and the suspect Gu Jiusi was also transferred.
The Ministry of Punishment naturally refused to agree. After the morning meeting was over, the Ministry of Punishment, together with many old ministers, and most of the court, all knelt at the door of the imperial study.
When Liu Yuru heard this, she was looking at her new shop with Ye Yun.
This shop is rented together with Huarong's shop, and is used to sell food delivered from Wangdu.
In an eventful time, Liu Yuru deeply understands the importance of food, so even if the profit of food is not the biggest, she insists on continuing the business.
She and Huarong's shop went to see the shop together, Ye Yun said she came to decorate, Liu Yuru originally let her do it, but it opened today, Liu Yuru came to see, only to find that Ye Yun turned out to be The grain store is very beautifully decorated according to the northern style. The colors of red and green are spread out, and pepper strings are hung under the eaves for decoration, which has an indescribable northern flavor.
Liu Yuru wandered inside and out for a few laps, but she thought it was pretty good. Seeing Yunyun, who was used to doing business next to her, she couldn't help but be a little worried: "Master, your grain store is so well built, When others see it, I am afraid they will think rice is expensive and dare not come to buy it."
Liu Yuru was stunned when she heard this, she looked at the chili peppers shaking in front of her, and said slowly: "When you look at the store, you will feel that rice is expensive, but do you think that this is What about rice from the north?"
Yunyun did not understand: "What does the owner mean?"
"The rice in the north is always a little different," Liu Yuru smiled, "It's okay for the different rice to be more expensive, right?"
"The owner wants to increase the price?"
"Selling rouge is good and bad. Selling rice is naturally good and bad."
Liu Yuru pondered and said: "Our rice is extremely expensive to transport this time, and the grain is not much. If we directly start selling grain according to the ordinary method of selling grain in the past, I am afraid that the profit will be meager. "
Yunyun listened, slowly heard some ideas, and finally said: "You want to increase the price of this time to make the best quality rice, is that what you mean?"
Liu Yuru couldn't help laughing when she saw Yunyun on the road: "Exactly. The rice in the north is more fragrant. If you buy it so casually, won't it lose its value? The rice is distinguished, and it is the best rice in Dongdu."
Yunyun nodded, knowing it. Ye Yun listened and understood what Liu Yuru meant. Just as Liu Yuru was about to talk about it, she heard news from the palace that people from the Department of Punishment had blocked the entrance of the Censor's Desk and refused to hand over Gu Jiusi's case.
Liu Yuru heard the news, she thought about it seriously, and finally said: "When Your Majesty finds the Queen Mother, these people will naturally leave."
As expected by Liu Yuru, Fan Xuan went to Yeyang Palace for a walk that afternoon, and in the evening, all the people from the Punishment Department left, but Gu Jiusi didn't hand it over.
When noon the next day, a **** suddenly came to the palace.
The **** was thin and small, and said anxiously: "Mrs. Gu Shao, please come with our palace!"
