After lying down in silence, Cao Jixiang rejoiced that Xiang Le's matter had not been discovered, and stepped forward, and was about to shout out something to play, and when there was nothing to leave the court, he saw Xu Youzhen walking out slowly, and couldn't help but feel... Hit it.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, on the way home last night, Lord Xu, the guard of the Imperial City, happened to meet people in the city seeking justice, and seized the corruption case of Xiang Le, the soldier and horse of the capital. The amount amounted to a huge amount of 100 million taels."
The reason why everyone remained silent was not because they didn't know that there was an important case in the capital, but they didn't expect that the person who handled it would be Xu Xin.
Also, the Xiang Le that Xu Youzhen was talking about happened to be Gao Gong's disciple, and he was the one who recommended him to be the leader of the Military Division.
All the clues showed that this time it was another exchange of fire between the two sides, and they didn't dare to join forces casually.
Seeing that no one came out to speak for him, Gao Gong, the chief minister of the cabinet, had no choice but to argue: "There must be something hidden in the report to the Queen Mother. It must be that Xiang Le wanted to clear the money for easy distribution, but it was getting late and the curfew was approaching, so People are misunderstood."
"I didn't expect Mr. Xu to act recklessly. He listened to the slander and threw Xiang Le into prison. His subordinates were eager to make meritorious deeds and tortured them into tricks. Please ask the Queen of Heaven to see clearly."
Chapter 79
"Hahahahaha!" Xu Youzhen laughed loudly after hearing this.
The more he heard the laughter, the more flustered Gao Gong became, but as the chief assistant, he couldn't show any cowardly state now: "Old Xu Ge! What are you laughing at!"
Xu Youzhen's face changed when she heard the words: "I laugh at Mr. Gao Ge who knows the truth! He still deceives himself and others!"
"There are countless people in the city, and any one you bring can testify to this! And as far as I know, your good student Xiang Le explained everything clearly before he entered the gate of the Imperial City Guard. If you don't believe me, we can let the Queen Mother order Xiang Le to come up to the court to confront him?"
Xu Youzhen looked at Gao Gong with a smile.
Xu Youzhen made up her mind.
Since I have chosen to form an alliance with Xu Xin and Dongchang, I should give full play to my role and remove the obstacles in front of me for myself and for them.
The brighter Xu Youzhen's smile was, the more terrified Gao Gong felt in his heart. It was just a small secondary assistant, and it was the first time he found him so threatening.
In order to avoid making too many mistakes, he simply turned around and ignored Xu Youzhen.
Everyone in the court, including the queen mother of course, understood that Xu Youzhen and Xu Xin had completely won this duel.
However, as an ally, the queen mother will naturally not let Gao Gong continue to embarrass her.
"Since the matter has been clarified, let Xiang Le be detained for the time being. As for the money, it should be distributed to the people as before, so as to reward them for their loyalty to the emperor."
Seeing this, Xu Youzhen, the second assistant, knew that the queen mother would not pursue it any further.
The two sides are now in a complete showdown. In line with the purpose of disgusting you if you don't kill them, Xu Youzhen bowed her hands and saluted.
"Empress Dowager! As far as I know, there are still nearly 300 million taels of silver distributed to the people who participated in the funeral of the late emperor, which are kept in the West Factory. I suggest that this batch of silver taels should be used for disaster relief to show the court's love for the people." Feelings."
"Just what Qing said." While the Queen Mother was granting permission, she was also a little angry.
Originally, he believed the words of Xichang and Shoufu Gaogong, and took out nearly 400 million taels of silver, but he didn't know that they did things like this.
Without Xu Xin, perhaps no more than 30 taels would actually fall into the hands of the common people. By then, the imperial court would really spend money to buy notoriety.
Cao Jixiang next to him heard the queen mother's promise, so he didn't mention it in one breath and almost fainted, so he quickly winked at the first assistant Gao Gong.
The Chief Assistant Gao Gong understood, and immediately said to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, I have something to announce. The Binzhou Prefecture is suffering from a severe disease, which has already caused riots among the people."
"The situation is so serious! Gao Qing's family, do you have a good plan?" The queen mother was obviously quite surprised.
The people rioted, but this has never happened since the first emperor succeeded to the throne!
Xu Youzhen looked at Gao Gong, feeling faintly uneasy.
I saw an imperceptible smirk across Shoufu Gao Gong's face, and said with a solemn expression: "This person must be capable of writing and martial arts, and have a certain prestige in the hearts of the people! Only then can he be qualified for such a heavy responsibility!"
Not only Xu Youzhen understood, but the Queen Mother also understood at this time.
"Could it be that Mr. Gao Ge already has a suitable candidate in his heart?" The queen mother asked hypocritically.
Cao Jixiang beside him was even more happy.
"In today's world, this disaster relief is none other than Master Xu, Commander of the Imperial City Guard."
People from the Gao Gong faction understood the drama between the Queen Mother and Gao Gong, and stepped forward one after another.
"What Gao Ge said is very true. Mr. Xu was favored by the late emperor, and he is also the emperor's teacher. Naturally, his reputation is unmatched."
"Yes, besides, Mr. Xu's martial arts are world-class, and the dignified Yan Shisan died under his sword. What are the victims of the disaster?"
"Queen! We recommend Master Xu!"
"Queen! We recommend Master Xu!"
"The minister waits for the second opinion!"
Now Xu Youzhen finally understood that she wanted to take this opportunity to transfer Xu Xin away from this place, so as not to let him interfere in the affairs of the court.
But in this situation, he really couldn't think of a reason to object.
Just as he was hesitating, the chubby emperor who had been quietly watching the performance in the hall spoke!
"Shut me all up!"
"I don't agree with this matter!"
"In the past, you all boasted that you can write a pen to secure the world, and martial arts can set the world immediately. Now is the time for you to make contributions. Why do you let the real master go?"
"Furthermore, the master is the Minister of Gu Ming and the Crown Prince Taibao sent by the father to protect me! You have appointed him one by one! What are your plans!"
After several questions in succession, all the officials in the palace were left speechless.
Although the chubby emperor was young, he was talented and intelligent, so he could see that the ministers with their own schemes were targeting his master.
The Empress Dowager seemed to lose face at this time, and sternly reprimanded: "The emperor must not be self-willed! You are still young, and the big things still have to be decided by the family. You have to learn more."
"Okay, then take your time to figure it out! My emperor is also redundant here."
After speaking, he jumped off the dragon chair, flicked his sleeves, ignored everyone, and walked away.
Seeing this situation, all civil and military officials dared not make a sound.
And the queen mother behind the curtain was even more gloomy. !
"Xu Xin!!! What did you say to my good prince!! Even if he disobeys my will, he will defend you!"
Seeing this, Cao Jixiang had no choice but to shout and retreat.
In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Xu Xin sat blankly with Yu Huatian.
Seeing his improvement, Xu Xin also began to return to his original state.
"Brother, I made you laugh. You may not know that since I entered the palace, I have been following the late emperor. He taught me many things and made me understand the vast and vast world."
Xu Xin naturally knew that Yuhuatian valued love and righteousness, so it was impossible for him to really laugh at him.
"Speaking of which, I would also like to thank my brother for coming in and teaching those dogs in Xichang many times, otherwise they would have crawled over our heads to do their best. Now is the time to settle accounts with them!"
While speaking, Yu Huatian's eyes had returned to the previous viciousness and self-confidence.
"Then it's up to you, brother, I'm really tired from tossing around now. Come on, let's see your performance!" Xu Xin happily patted the back of Yu Huatian's hand.
"Hee hee, bro, just watch the show, I will definitely make them regret that they provoked us."
During the conversation, the little fat emperor ran into the Hall of Mental Cultivation angrily, and sat down next to Xu Xin.
Afterwards, a group of eunuchs, palace maids and imperial guards followed behind. Before entering the door, they saw Xu Xin and they quickly knelt down.
"Emperor... Your Majesty?! Shouldn't you be in court at this time? Why did you come here?" Yu Huatian quickly stood up and asked with a bow.
The chubby emperor originally wanted to come to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to remember his father, but when he saw the master, he couldn't hold back his tears, and burst into tears as he lay on Xu Xin's lap.
Xu Xin gently lifted the chubby emperor and wiped away his tears.
"Okay, don't cry, tell the master who bullied our chubby."
The little chubby prince said aggrievedly: "It's not that the queen mother and Gao Gong and them, united with the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, want to send you to Binzhou Prefecture for disaster relief, and to quell the civil uprising. They just want to squeeze you out of the court! I just don't want to let you go. Master, you go!"
Xu Xin was happy after hearing this, and held the little fat emperor's hand and said, "Did you forget what the master taught you? You have to be patient in everything. Now you are not their opponent, so you have to learn to grow. It is impossible for the master to be by your side all the time, and one day you will be able to handle things by yourself."
"Besides, who told the master to be the Minister of Gu Ming appointed by your father? He must be the first to help you solve problems when encountering problems. I don't feel relieved, master, if someone else goes!"
"But Master, aren't you angry that they leave all the hard work to you, and stay in the capital to enjoy the blessings?" the little fat emperor asked with sobs.
"You must be angry, but you will be motivated to do things when you are angry. When the time comes, they will be the ones who should be angry later." Xu Xin smiled and gently pinched the chubby emperor's cheek.
Yu Huatian at the side looked at the way the master and apprentice got along, and was confused...
After listening to Xu Xin's words, the little fat emperor hugged Xu Xin tightly.
"Master! You are so kind! Father will be very happy to have a spirit in heaven."
Chapter 80 After relaxing and comforting, the chubby emperor finally agreed to leave with the eunuchs and maids.
"Brother? No, are you really going?" Tian Huayu looked at Xu Xin in surprise.
"You don't think what I just said is just to coax Xiaopang?" Xu Xin said with a smile.
"But everyone knows that this errand is not only worthless, but also has a heavy responsibility. If you don't pay attention, the old guys in the West Factory and the cabinet can use this as an excuse to punish you." Tian Huayuyue Talk more and more anxiously.
"It's okay if you do it well, it's a great achievement, if you don't do it well, I'm afraid... this time they are the ones who frightened you! You see, the emperor has seen the clues, how dare you rush up! Brother, you are so confused!"
"But if I don't pick it up, I'm afraid I won't dare to pick it up in the capital... Binzhou Prefecture is so close to the capital, if the civil uprising spreads to the suburbs of Beijing, that chubby may be in danger. Don't worry too much , just let me go to relax on this trip." Xu Xin still had a smile on his face, trying to comfort Tian Huayu.
"Okay, since you have made your decision, bro, I won't say anything else." Tian Huayu nodded.
Xu Xin suddenly thought of something: "During my absence, if you need anything, you can ask Shangguan Haitang to help you."
"Haha, brother, you underestimate me. Not to mention preventing troubles in the Xichang cabinet, even if I go to trouble them, it is enough for them to drink a pot. You can go at ease, everything is up to me." Tian Huayu Said with a laugh.
Xu Xin knew that Tian Huayu had been in the officialdom for many years, and he was able to use any means at his fingertips, but what he said didn't sound right: "What do you mean, let me go at ease! Now I'll go and quell the anger of the people, okay! Will you?" Can talk!"
"Okay, okay, you can go with peace of mind!" Tian Huayu continued to play around.
"Look for a slap!" Xu Xin raised his hand and slapped him.
……
Xu Fuzhong.
Xu Xin explained the cause and effect clearly to several people in the mansion.
But the three people in front of them seemed to have missed the point at all.
Before Xu Xin finished speaking, Wang Yuyan's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked, "So can you take me out to play?"
"My good sister! I'm not going out to play, I'm risking my life to serve the court! It's just a few days, can you stay at home and wait for me to come back?" Xu Xin said helplessly.
"Ah Zhu, pack up your clothes, bastard Xu won't take me, I'll go by myself! Hmph!"
"Okay, okay! You win!" Xu Xin said, covering his head.
"My lord, then I will go too... I will serve you so that you won't have to worry about it..."
Dai Qisi on the side said softly.
Xu Xin had already buried his head on the table.
Suddenly, he felt someone poking him with his fingers, and when he looked up, it was Mu Qing who was full of disappointment.
"I won't go with you...I will stay in the capital..."
Xu Xin was finally able to squeeze out a little smile on his face: "You still take care of yourself..."
"Or if I secretly put on makeup and go out with you, no one should find out in just a few days!"
Mu Qing said mischievously.
"I'll be back as soon as possible, can you just stay at home obediently? You are the most obedient of all people."
"Really?"
"Of course!"
After appeasing Mu Qing, Xu Xin set off overnight. After all, time waits for no one. The sooner you deal with things, the safer you will be.
In addition to the food delivery team, Xu Xin also recruited [-] elites from the Imperial City Guard, and brought along Xiao Shan, the old drunkard and other confidantes.
Dao Yan heard that at this time, he also took the initiative to ask to go with him, hoping to do his little bit for the victims.
Xu Xin is naturally willing to take him with him. After all, Dao Yan is not only a counselor, he can be said to be an all-rounder who knows astronomy and geography. That's what can really be called relaxation.
The Lord of the Town, Mu Qing, also thoughtfully dispatched [-] personal guards to form a large formation to help Xu Xin in case of need.
From ancient times to the present, water transportation must be the first choice for bulk material transportation.
So Xu Xin and the others naturally chose the Jingqi Grand Canal.
