Chapter 919 Means

Qin Yining burst out laughing at his tone, "If the tea is really hot, I'm afraid it will burn people."

"You feel sorry for him?" Pang Xiao snorted displeased.

"I'm afraid that things will get out of hand and spread, which will damage my reputation."

Pang Xiao naturally knew that Qin Yining acted in a measured manner. She was not only doing it for reputation, she also didn't want to cause trouble and break up with the Lu family at the inappropriate time. But the treasure that he held in his hands for fear of falling and held in his mouth for fear of melting was bullied after just one day out. Uncle Zhongyi and his wife teamed up to bully her.

"I don't think those women are easy-going. I don't know if they are doing it deliberately and just to stir up trouble. How can women with ordinary virtues be so open-minded? They are still from noble families. Where’s the mistress?”

Pang Xiao looked down upon the noble women present today. To put it bluntly, these women only talked about others behind their backs, but did not think that others would be criticized for it. They would not be responsible for their words.

Especially the woman who deliberately brought up the incident when the Queen Mother matched Lu Heng and Qin Yining. She was so unkind that she deliberately led the topic in that direction.

Pang Xiao just subconsciously wondered if there was someone he couldn't deal with, so he framed Qin Yining. But then I thought about it, sometimes the hostility between women often comes from jealousy. Maybe someone is jealous of the beauty of his sister Yi's son, who knows.

Pang Xiao hugged Qin Yining tighter with his big hands, "Ignore them. Anyway, let's avoid those talkative women in the future, so as not to make you angry."

"I know!" Qin Yining put her arms around Pang Xiao's neck and buried her face in his neck, "Okay, even if this matter is over and it has nothing to do with us, there is no need to take it seriously."

"That's not okay." Qin Yining lowered his head and kissed Qin Yining on the forehead, "I think the man named Lu is obviously evil. He bullies my wife. Is it possible that a cup of herbal tea will solve the problem? Don't worry about it, I will take care of it myself. consider."

Jealous men are simply untouchable.

"Okay, okay, everything depends on you, I won't interfere." Qin Yining's voice was soft, and he yawned and said, "Talking to people you don't know well all day long is worse than fighting with them. Be tired."

When Pang Xiao heard this, he massaged her shoulders and neck with his big hands. He couldn't touch a few ounces of flesh with his tentacles, just a layer of skin and bones.

"Okay, I asked them to prepare milk and bird's nests for you. You eat a bowl and then we go to bed." Pang Xiao said lovingly, "I promise not to torture you tonight."

The first half of the sentence was pretty good, but then it started to get weird again.

Qin Yining slapped Pang Xiao, who laughed and hugged her and shook her.

He didn't know how to care for such a big baby.

After a good night's sleep, Qin Yining and Pang Xiao stayed at home to "recuperate" as usual the next day, and gradually began to refuse many visitors.

Pang Xiao went out secretly, and Qin Yining didn't ask what he was doing there.

"Princess, princess." In the evening, Bingtang said excitedly, "Did you know that yesterday, Mrs. Zhongyi followed Uncle Zhongyi into the palace to thank him, but she caused a big fuss in Ci'an Palace and disturbed the Queen?"

"Really?" Qin Yining was making Brother Zhao's little clothes. Hearing this, he said with great interest, "With her temper, I'm afraid she will suffer a loss in the palace."

"More than that." Bingtang lowered her voice, "It is said that Mrs. Zhongyi Bo went to complain, saying that Uncle Zhongyi humiliated her and neither of them took off their wedding clothes on their wedding night.

"

"Have you heard of this?" Qin Yining was surprised.

Bingtang said in surprise: "I'm not the only one who said it. The woman who went shopping today came back and said that it has spread throughout the capital."

Jiyun came in with a box and heard what Bingtang said, "Isn't that right? Princess, you don't know that a big man from a family like Zhongyibo can find it difficult to continue his marriage, but he is such a person. Nowadays, many people Everyone is talking about this outside. It is said that the people of Uncle Zhongyi's house were aggressive and rude, and they bumped into the Queen Mother and the Queen. Later, they alerted the Holy Lord, who reprimanded Mrs. Uncle Zhongyi, and even the favored concubine Zhuang was embarrassed. Luo, almost demoted to Zhaoyi."

"Tsk, if I were Zhuang Concubine, even if I were to marry someone, I would not choose a cousin with such a temper." Bingtang clicked her tongue, "If I let her out, I wouldn't be causing trouble for myself."

"Perhaps Zhuang Concubine is also a weak-tempered person, right? I heard that if it weren't for the fact that Concubine Zhuang is really weak and pretty, and she is aloof from the world, and the Holy Net would be open-minded, the Bian family would be in great disgrace."

Qin Yining listened to the chatter of the two girls and remembered Bian Ruohan's appearance, and couldn't help but shake his head.

Life is too generous, parents and elders are doting on her, so she can pamper a girl like that.

But we can't blame our parents. There are so many parents in the world who dote on their children, and not every child is as crooked as Bian Ruohan.

Qin Yining shook her head, she didn't take this matter to heart.

Pang Xiao did not mention the matter again, he just continued to claim illness and recuperate, and left the court.

Two days later, another rumor came out of Bian's house. It was said that Bian was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall and was not given any food after returning home. Uncle Zhongyi also sat for a short while and then went back, leaving Bian at his parents' house and never stayed at his father-in-law's house for dinner.

A big wedding, causing such discord, the rumors were so strong that it overshadowed many versions of rumors on the wedding day.

Now Uncle Zhongyi married an unruly shrew and it has become known to everyone.

Because there were rumors that the Holy One treated the heroes harshly and bullied the great heroes, now it is not just the loyal and obedient prince who is being treated harshly by the Holy One.

Many people are talking about it.

"Uncle Zhongyi's marriage was arranged by the Holy One. No matter what kind of woman she is, it's hard for me to reject it, right?"

"So the patriarch of a big family like the Lu family, and one with a title, actually chose such a shrew."

"Is this also..."

Some people did not dare to say more, but everyone understood what was left unfinished. This incident could easily be associated with the harsh treatment Prince Zhongshun received when he returned to the city.

This shows that the Holy Emperor's harsh treatment of his ministers was not accidental.

"It is said that Prince Zhongshun is still miserable and recuperating in the palace. The Holy Emperor has never arranged an official position for Prince Zhongshun."

"How about arranging official positions? It's not bad if you don't get impeached. It's only been quiet for a few days, and you don't know when the shit basin will be pushed up again."

The speaker sighed.

Such remarks are not found anywhere in the city, people are saying them almost everywhere.

Li Qitian also got the news soon.

"Your Majesty, everything I said is true. Those ignorant people outside are indeed rumored to be like this. As an official, it is my duty to report the facts to Your Majesty." In the royal study, a middle-aged official knelt on the ground. The way of speaking righteously.

Li Qitian naturally trusts him. This person is his confidant and has been very steady in his work for many years. Although he has not risen to the top, his promotion in the Metropolitan Procuratorate is really based on his own ability.

"Liu Qing, please get married."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Liu Yushi stood up and continued with an upright look, without looking at Li Qitian's face, "I have one more thing to report to Your Majesty."

Li Qitian rubbed his forehead and said, "Speak."

Liu Yushi said, "I found out that Uncle Zhongyi secretly sold his officials and titles to enrich his own pockets. The officials who bought and sold them clearly marked the price, and sometimes the highest bidder even got it. For example, the imperial envoy Lu who had previously arranged to go to the old capital of Yan Sir, this is the official position that Uncle Zhongyi sold."

One sentence was like a thunderclap, shocking people to the core.

For a moment, the silence in the imperial study room could be heard. Xiong Jinshui and several servants were so frightened that they did not dare to breathe loudly after hearing the inside story. They quietly hid in a corner for fear of being noticed by the Holy Emperor.

Liu Yushi, who accidentally lit up the firecrackers, still stood like a pine tree.

Li Qitian's head throbbed with pain, "Impossible. Lu Tingzhong was arranged by me personally. No matter how talented Lu Heng is, how can he still make me obey his words? Not to mention this imperial envoy, Just say that the official positions in this dynasty, the appointment, performance appraisal and promotion of officials above the county magistrate were all approved by me with my own pen. You say that the Lu family sells officials. Could it be that he gave me some ecstasy to make me agree? "

"Your Majesty, this is not what I meant, but it is an indisputable fact that the Lu family sold their officials. Some people in the Lu family deceived Your Majesty, and some deliberately guided Your Majesty, and they succeeded in profiting from it."

Liu Yushi thought for a while and then said, "Let me give you a real example. A few days ago, there was a businessman in the south. In order to prosper the business, he wanted to have a reliable official to take care of him. However, the local magistrate was tough, so he came up with a businessman. The solution is to buy a local imperial envoy. Then you can run unimpeded.

"This merchant begged the Lu family, and the Lu family managed the imperial mission. Unexpectedly, the merchant refused to pay the Lu family the promised revenge. It is said that he did not pay a penny to the Lu family, and even ordered people to pay the bills in the Lu family. Eating and drinking for free for a long time.

"The Lu family accomplished something, but they couldn't get the money. In a fit of anger, they shut down the businessman. I dare to speak frankly in front of the Holy Lord today. The Lu family sold an imperial envoy, who was in Master Lu's position, but Even if they don't get revenge from the merchants, destroying other merchants won't count. They will definitely not be willing to accept it, and they must be willing to take back their duties as imperial envoys."

Li Qitian frowned when he heard this, "You mean, the Lu family will influence me and let me replace Lu Tingzhong?"

Liu Yushi said: "Yes or no, your Majesty will gradually know."

Li Qitian knew that Liu Yushi was not a person who told lies, so he became a little doubtful at this time.

In early April, I caught up with the official political examination. As luck would have it, someone from the Ministry of Civil Affairs happened to report to Li Qitian, saying that the inspection of Lu Tingzhong, who was sent by the imperial army to the south to inspect the people's situation, should have been completed and he could be transferred back to his original position. The reason was explained in the paper and Li Qitian was invited. instructions.

In the past, the appointment and dismissal of many officials were made by the Ministry of Personnel and reviewed by Li Qitian personally.

When he saw this book today and thought of Liu Yushi's words, Li Qitian frowned.
