Chapter 402 The Replaced Criminal
Yunshang raised her eyebrows, and she couldn't guess the emperor's thoughts at all. This is the first time.
Then there was silence.
But His Majesty still doesn't say what he wants to say.
Yunshang coughed and set up another topic: "Your Majesty, do you notice that the sailing time is particularly long today?"
"Oh?" It's like this again.
"Originally, His Majesty was scheduled to land in Tongling and go to Jiuhua Mountain; but in the end, he set up a palace in Chizhou. He temporarily informed all the officials to come to Chizhou to wait for a ride. Does your majesty know the reason?"
"I know." Feng Ziqi finally pulled back her wandering thoughts. "It's the lonely boat trip is a little faster. This section of the river is wide and the wind is beautiful. The boat trip is like a painting. Unconsciously, I passed Tongling and simply chose to go ashore in Chizhou."
Yunshang said mysteriously and secretly: "Your Majesty, I heard that the red father-in-law told the soldiers to be full of sails early in the morning!" In addition, before the departure of Taiping Prefecture, Luo Xingzhi, Tongling Zhixian County, entrusted people to bring a lot of local specialties to Grandpa Hongqi.
Feng Zi's expression remains unchanged, but there is some interest in her eyes. "When Lou Qing said this, does it mean that Tongling Zhixian deliberately did it? He dislikes loneliness and doesn't want to go to his territory alone?
"What is the truth of the matter? Your Majesty summoned the father-in-law, or Luo Xingzhi, you will know as soon as you ask."
Feng Zifeng came closer to look at Yunshang, "Is Lou Qing impeaching the Tongling County for bribery?"
"What does Your Majesty think?"
Feng Ziqi smiled and said, "I think you must have been bribed by the Tongling County. Obviously, I knew that I would not care about such a sesame official, but I mentioned his name several times in front of Gu, in order to deepen my impression of this person?
Yunshang also smiled, "It's still seen through by your majesty!" In fact, I want to recommend Lord Luo to your majesty. He is extremely upright, but he is not a reputation. He can be a good official regardless of personal fame and fortune for the people! Local officials, who doesn't expect the emperor to come to their own states and counties? However, he bribed Hongqigong, but he wanted to avoid such glory! Thinking about it, I still think that he is thinking about the people of Tongling and doesn't want to increase the burden on the people of Tongling, right?
Such a reply by the emperor and minister is originally common between Feng Zifeng and Yunshang; it is the most appreciated part of Yunshang's "playing cleverness". However, today, after the two exchanged tacit smiles, Feng Zifeng suddenly stretched out her hand and stroked Yunshang's white cheeks.
Yun Zhang was stunned.
This kind of "fliliation" has never happened in the past, but she knows very well that it is a means used by Feng Zifeng to confuse others, to use it with a funny look and tone... Today, Feng Zi is really abnormal, always feels like she is exploring something... restless.
However, Feng Ziqi has withdrawn his hand, as if nothing has happened. "Is it rare for Lou Qing to recommend such a person with such a big fanfare?"
"Yes, Your Majesty," Yun Shang also thought that nothing had happened. "I have thought about it. I recommend this eldest princess Luo Xingzhi as the emperor's son-in-law."
***
Feng Ziqi was obviously not psychologically prepared for Yunshang's proposal. Hearing this, she was slightly stunned and asked, "Did Lou Qing recommend Tongling Zhixian County to be the emperor's son-in-law?"
"Your Majesty, that's exactly what happened."
Feng Ziqi smiled and said, "Don't you think it's too hasty for Lou Qing? I said that Sisi has suffered a lot from snacks, and I will compensate her. Her marriage issue will never be careless. At present, Lou Qing knows what this identity means as the only foreign relative of the royal family of Dafeng Dynasty?
"I understand what your majesty means. As a son-in-law, the future is naturally unlimited. Yunshang blinked and simply made everything clear, "Your Majesty said in the day that he would choose between the minister and the governor of Lu. But I don't think it's suitable for me and Lu Dudu.
Feng Zi's smile on the corners of her lips remained unchanged, but her eyes were a little complicated.
"I am not suitable because I am already a servant of the Ministry of Industry and a bachelor of the Cabinet, and I am loved by your majesty, which can be regarded as an infinite scenery. Princess Shang, although she can make me go further, I have always understood the truth that when the moon is full, I will lose. At present, my status is already a high position and has no merit. How dare I expect Princess Shang to be an imperial relative?
This is a very crowned excuse, which is very suitable for Yunshang's identity; however, Feng Ziqi only paid attention to one of the sentences "Your Majesty's Favorite"... He couldn't help but be a little shaken. He quickly turned away his eyes and reached out to get tea on the desk.
Yunshang took the tea cup in his hand first and touched the temperature. It was cold. So he got up to call someone to add tea, but was stopped by Feng Ziqi.
"Even if Lou Qing is not suitable, Lu Dudu is admired by the eldest princess. Why does Lou Qing think it's okay?"
"Lu Dudu... It's because he is admired by the eldest princess. I just thought it was impossible for him. Just imagine, if your majesty is really willing to marry the eldest princess to Lu Dudu, how can he consider others?"
Feng Zi's eyes flashed slightly. She held the tea cup in her hand and did not drink water. She just nodded slightly and sighed, "Lou Qing does guess his lonely thoughts... Even so, the marriage of Princess Sijing can't be so hasty. How can a small Tongling county magistrate deserve the eldest princess of the Dafeng Dynasty?
"Of course, the marriage of the eldest princess should be cautious." Yunshang looked at the herbal tea and wanted to say something but didn't say it. He still followed the original topic and said, "But does your majesty know who Luo Xingzhi is? Last autumn. There is a man named Liang Guangjin, who is very famous, but the paper was posted early and lost his way from the imperial examination. Does your majesty remember this?
Feng Ziqi gently stroked the cup with her fingers and was a little absent-minded. "I naturally remember that it was Lou Qing's layout that let me know this person. Later, I fulfilled Lou Qing's wish and ordered him to enter the National Prison. At the beginning of this year, Lou Qing promoted him to the Ministry of Industry with that Jiang Honghao. I heard that he was very trusted by Lou Qing, right? However, Lou Qing suddenly mentioned him. What does Luo Xingzhi have to do with him?
"There is no direct relationship, but in terms of talent, it is not much. Luo Xing knows his real name is Luo Yun. Does your majesty ever hear the sentence "Poetry belongs to Liang, and debate is Luo"? Everyone said that it was autumn last year. If Luo Yun can arrive, he is the only one!"
When Feng Zimin heard the words, she put down the tea cup in her hand and couldn't hide her shock. "Luo Xingzhi is the rebel party of the fire lotus religion in Yongzhou? Haven't you been executed? Isn't it... Lou Qing, you are so bold that you won't do things like private pardoning criminals?"
No wonder the phoenix is surprised. The news of Luo Yun's execution came to the capital after the autumn of the 16th year of Xide. It immediately shocked the government and the opposition. The talented man who moved the world was just captured by the rest of the Huolian religion. He was reported that he had made suggestions for the fire lotus religion and helped him capture Yongzhou. The Dafeng Dynasty has always valued literature over martial arts. Luo Yun has the name of a talented son, and he is also the student of the late Dafeng towards the famous Qing official Chen Pingguo, not to mention the "helping the rebellion". It's really forced to vote for the rebel party. As long as you abandon the secret after the event, you should also be on the list of forgiveness.
However, such a well-known person. However, after being captured, he was directly sent to the military order by Yunshang as a deputy in Hunan to ask for the name of the place. He was killed in Yongzhou City with a knife. His methods were cruel and publicized, which can be compared with Huolian Religion! As soon as this happened, Yunshang's reputation in Hunan was as good as that of the devil Taisui. He also made several impeachment books in the court. If it hadn't been for Yunshang's special status and the protection of him as an emperor, I'm afraid he would have been demoted to somewhere long ago.
However, since then, a province in Hunan has not been in prison because of the fire lotus religion; the people of the two lakes have mentioned the word "attachment". It is really not easy for the fire lotus religion to turn over again.
But now Yunshang says that Luo Xingzhi, Tonglingzhi County, Chizhou, Jiangnan East Road, is Luo Yun?
"Your Majesty really knows how to be a minister." Yunshang smiled like a flower and answered like this. Obviously, this is the charge of "private amnesty of criminals".
Feng Ziqi was speechless for a long time and sighed, "You are still not cruel enough. Even if Luo Yun is talented, if you kill him, you will kill him. Now he has got him such an official body. Are you worried that others can't find your little braids?!
Yunshang didn't care, "I have enough little braids."
Feng Ziqi sighed again, turned her eyes to Yunshang's purple official robe and said, "If you cherish talent, just let him go. However, it's too cautious to say that you want the eldest princess Luo Yunshang. Since he has been a bandit, his conduct is at a loss, and the pardon is already generous. How can he marry Sisi again?
"Your Majesty doesn't know anything," Yunshang also looked at his robes with some doubt. "At that time, I sent someone to investigate the matter of Yongzhou. Luo Yun did not follow the bandit, but someone falsely accused him. At that time, in order to deter the people, I deliberately confirmed his guilt and wronged him. Now that your majesty asked the emperor's son-in-law, I thought of him. Moreover, Luo Xingzhi's identity has been arranged properly. No one will doubt that with his talent, it should be for the people to avoid the royal driver this time, right?
Hearing Yunshang say that "there is a shame in her heart", Feng Ziming nodded clearly: If Luo Yun was indeed wronged, then Yunshang told the world to "kill" him, which was to smear the heaviest stain on his "life". The literati have the most important reputation. For ordinary scholars, it's better to really kill him than to let him change his identity and survive! However, he can understand Yunshang's behavior more or less. At that time, Luo Yun was so famous that he was falsely accused of working for the Fire Lotus Religion. Even if he clearly knew that he had been wronged, as long as the court did not investigate, there would always be people who would think that it was because of his identity. In the future, the literati will have another matter of "attachment to rebellion". Citing the old example, it is not easy for all government to deal with it. At the beginning, Yunshang "killed" Luo Yun with great fanfare regardless of whether it was true or false, and the deterrent effect must not be underestimated.
"In fact, I don't know much about this person. I'm very interested in Luo Yun's character and whether he is worthy of Princess Sijing. I'm about to ask your majesty to stay here in Chizhou for a few more days and observe this Luo Yun for your majesty. As expected, even if you can't find a good son-in-law for your majesty, you can add a pillar for my Dafeng court, right?
