The Sickly Beauty Substitute Called It Quits - Chapter 167

[Chapter 165]

Since ancient times, the imperial court’s control of localities has been a headache for those in power.

In the later period of the Emperor’s reign, because of his ignorance, not only the court but also the localities were affected.

After Shang Junlin ascended the throne, he first solved the problems of the court with a quick knife, and then gradually solved the local problems. Up to now, in most places, it can be said that the government is clear.

However, there are always exceptions.

For example, the Subei officials that were just resolved not long ago, and Hanzhou, which has a problem this time.

At the end, Shang Junlin handed the matter over to the Prime Minister and Lord Duan to deal with it together. There was a problem with the mobilization of officials. As a cabinet minister, he had to take some responsibilities more or less.

Officials who can be transferred to the capital have passed the imperial examination. This type of examination does not refer to a single test score, but a comprehensive consideration of various aspects. Only those who have the ability and no major mistakes can be transferred back to the capital.

Since Lord Xu was transferred to the capital, it means that he passed the assessment. As for why the matter in Hanzhou was not discovered, it is a question that the Prime Minister and Lord Duan need to find out.

Returning to Yuzhang Palace, seeing the depression standing by the window, the anger in Shang Junlin’s heart dissipated a little.

“Your Majesty is back?” Hearing footsteps, Shen Yu turned back.

Shang Junlin walked over silently, holding the person in his arms: “The news came back from Hanzhou today?”

“Have you found the trace of King Yue?” Shen Yu’s first reaction was this.

“Not yet, it’s about the Xu family. The concubine of the Xu family is telling the truth. What the Xu family did in Hanzhou is far more than that.”

“Your Majesty is angry about this?” Shen Yu raised his hand to caress He stroked the man’s back.

“Such a person can still be transferred to the capital, I…”

“Your Majesty didn’t know, but now that he knows, he will naturally return to wherever he should go, and those who make mistakes will eventually get what they deserve. Punishment, Your Majesty doesn’t need to think too much.” Shen Yu comforted.

After breaking the first opening, the next thing is much easier to check.

Hanzhou.

“What happened during the autumn hunting, why did Junjun ram into the holy car and offend your lord? How is the Xu family’s situation now?”

Mrs. Xu’s mother’s Cheng family was in a panic.

When the news came back, the Cheng family made plans for the first time. The Cheng family has been rooted in Hanzhou for many years and is the largest family in Hanzhou. Because of their marriage with Master Xu, they are said to be the only one in Hanzhou because of the power of Master Xu. Hands cover the sky is not an exaggeration.

If it weren’t for the power of the sky, it would be impossible for them to force the bitter master to swallow the grievances after such an incident. On the surface, they have the same limelight.

“Master, what should we do now? People from the imperial court have already arrived in Hanzhou, and the capital has spread such news again. Many people don’t listen to us.”

“What’s the use of talking about this now? What is the style of the emperor today? It’s not that you don’t know, unless he can’t find out, or based on what we have done over the years, none of us can escape!” The

room fell into a dead silence.

“Really…Is there no room to turn around?” After a long time, someone couldn’t help but speak.

“What about that lord? Didn’t you say we need to take in a noble person temporarily? Our Cheng family has done so much for him, and he can’t ignore us…” After speaking, his voice became smaller and smaller.

At this moment, everyone’s eyes were focused on the leader.

The head of the Cheng family closed his eyes: “I will contact the adult.”

Another person stood up and said, “The worst has not yet reached the worst level, everyone should not be in a mess.”

Unlike the condensed atmosphere of the Cheng family, those who have been suffering all year round The small family of oppression can be described as rejoicing.

“Doesn’t the Cheng family claim to have climbed the ranks of the dignitaries?”

“If it weren’t for the protection of Lord Xu, how could the Cheng family be so arrogant? Now that their umbrella is gone, let’s see how many days they can be proud of.”

“The imperial court sent adults to investigate the matter of the daughter of the Xu family. Those who

have resentments can breathe a sigh of relief.”

“It’s also a sin, a good girl, just because she dresses up a little bit, she has suffered those things, isn’t it more than one family?”

“Of course not only, we know this because there are a few things in the family.

A small family that needs to rely on the Cheng family to live out of the power, and dare not say anything if something goes wrong.”

“The young lady who talked to the young master of the Li family before hanged herself on the eve of the wedding, maybe it was also behind the scenes. Poisonous hands.”

“I remember that there was a time when the Xu family and the Li family were very close. After the girl died, the Li family moved out soon. I am afraid there is a lot of connection here.”

“You two.

Do you still remember an old incident that happened many years ago? When Mr. Xu took office, he had a family member. It was the Miss Cheng family back then. Relying on the power of the Cheng family, he insisted on making people small. Later, Xu Madam Xu has changed, and the original Madam Xu has never appeared in front of others.” The

Cheng family lost power, and those old things that were not dared to talk about in the past have been turned up one by one. The Cheng family has been domineering for many years. Fortunately, once they are defeated, there are many people who fall into the trap.

Not to mention those who had hatred and resentment in the past, how could such a good opportunity be missed in vain?

After the initial difficulties, the officials sent by the imperial court to Hanzhou made rapid progress, and the cases committed by the Xu family and the Cheng family flew to the capital like snowflakes.

“I underestimate them. A local family can do so many things.” Shang Junlin looked cold at the book handed back from Hanzhou.

“Away from the capital, there are people who support him, and most of them have normal courage,” Shen Yu sat on the soft couch, and the corner of his mouth tickled, “The farther away from the imperial city, the more likely this kind of thing will happen.”

Power breeds people’s desires, and when there is no external force, it will eventually drag people into the abyss.

“Cheng family, can’t stay.” Shang Junlin made a decision in his heart.

“Your Majesty, why don’t you wait, the people who kidnapped the King of Yue took the King of Yue to Hanzhou, and maybe the destination was the Cheng family. On the way, Yinlongwei didn’t find any trace of them, so he just went to the destination and waited.”

It was only two days ago that Shen Yu recalled that the King of Yue rebelled in his previous life, and the Cheng family was his loyal supporter. It is said that he defected to the King of Yue a long time ago. What about now?

Regardless of whether they hook up, the Cheng family will be an anchor.

“If their destination is Hanzhou, and if it hadn’t happened to happen to the Xu family, after arriving in Hanzhou, the Cheng family would indeed be able to keep the King of Yue safe.” Shen Yu continued.

“According to Ayu’s statement, the premise is that those people didn’t hear the wind in advance. Now that the people I sent have started to act, will they continue to act according to the original plan?” Shang Junlin wondered.

“But they have no choice,” Shen Yu smiled. “They must have sensed the existence of the Hidden Dragon Guard. How long can they hide in this way? With so many of them, there must be supplies. In our plan, Hanzhou is their supply point, and even if we know that there is a trap, we can only bite the bullet.” The

truth was as Shen Yu thought.

The middle-aged man took King Yue all the way. After a period of time, King Yue recovered a little, but the road was bumpy and he had to avoid being discovered, so he could only eat, drink and live in a simple way.

Except for the time he was in the dark prison, King Yue had never suffered such grievances.

“The emperor has already sent someone to Hanzhou. If we go there again, won’t we be caught in the net?” asked the King of Yue sitting by the door in the dilapidated small temple.

“Do you think that after so many days, your fief is still under your control as before? If you go back directly, it will be called self-defeating.” The middle-aged man said displeased.

“Where are you going to take this king?” After all these days, even if he is slow, King Yue can feel that something is wrong. These people’s attitude towards him is not respectful at all, and they have never listened to him. It is to escape from birth, and going around is still controlled by others.

“You’ll know when the lord is over, don’t worry, we won’t hurt you.”

King Yue was not at all relieved, he hated the feeling of being controlled by others.

“You rescued this king. What happens after that? If the fief can’t go back, what else can I do

?

”

In addition to the war with the Beimo people, the most discussed thing in the capital recently is the assessment by the Ministry of Industry.

The originally set date was postponed for a while due to various circumstances, and it finally officially started in the expectation of everyone.

Shen Yu was very interested in the first assessment, and after the end, he specifically asked Shang Junlin.

Shen Yu: “Your Majesty, how many people have been hired by the Ministry of Industry this time?”

Shang Junlin: “A total of 48 people have been recruited, and 12 of them have been officially hired. They are all outstanding in one aspect. At present, these 12 people are all In addition to choosing to work in the Ministry of Industry, thirty-six candidates have been recorded, and they will try it out for a period of time, and then decide to stay if it is suitable.”

Shen Yu: “Who came up with this idea?”

Shang Junlin “It’s the Minister of Household. For this assessment, the Minister of Industry always went to the Ministry of Rites. The Minister of Rites was very annoying, so he called several other Ministers every time. Except for the Minister of Household, who was always present, a few others went. After being invited twice, I found various reasons to evade.”

Shen Yu: “This method is very good.”

Shang Junlin: “Some of the remaining people are illiterate, and illiterate is more troublesome, the Ministry of Industry. Shang Shu intends to use this time to let them know some basic characters.”

In Dahuan, people who can read and write have a little bit of money in their families. Because the printing cost of books is too high, the price of books is also very high. People with no money can’t afford them.

“I remember that Ayu asked the people below to sell basic literacy books at a low price, and many people in the capital bought them.”

After all, compared to the normal price of other books, the price of this book with little content is ridiculously low, no Few people have bought a copy and kept it at home. It is more convenient to read and write by yourself than to let others do it all the time.

“It’s good if someone buys it. I also plan to let them do some activities and sell a little more if there are not many people who buy it.” Shen Yu took a sip of the tea on the table

. There are too many things in the court, and they can’t take them into account. Even if they find out, they won’t be able to deal with it for a while.”

“That’s good, it’s better to wait for them to pay attention to it, the matter has been settled, and they think about it again. No matter what you do, it won’t work.” When

ordinary people can afford to read books, what will the aristocratic family use to stand above others?
