Chapter 202: Yugong Mountain also goes (Sixth)

After reading out the imperial edicts one by one, Wang Zhongzheng's remaining job was to verify the authenticity of the Guwei Victory, but there was no need to worry about this matter, and he couldn't come. After Yu Longke and the blind Yao lived in Qinzhou for a few days, they had already returned to their nest and waited for the reward.

It was easy for the king to count the heads, so they were marinated with salt and piled them in the warehouse, waiting for the court to check whether the number of beheadings is true. However, it took more than ten days to confirm with Yu Longke and the blind medicine face to face.

After Dou Shunqing and Xiang Bao received the imperial edict, they stood aside with no expression on their faces. Wang Zhongzheng did not touch their bad heads and went forward to celebrate Wang Shao, Gao Zunyu and Han Gang one by one. The two sides were cold and hot, and the worries and joy were the clear contrast.

But the most proudest person in the lobby was not Wang Shao and the others. Li Shizhong, the magistrate of Qinzhou, walked in through the small door behind the hall with a smile.

When Wang Zhongzheng saw an official wearing a purple robe walking out, he quickly left Wang Shao and bowed. All the civil and military officials in the lobby bowed to the Lord of the Mansion together.

Li Shizhong replied half a salute and said with a smile: "Everyone knows that he came to Qinzhou by orders. If the teacher fails to welcome him, he will be negligent. I hope everyone will forgive him if he is guilty."

"Zhongzheng dares not take what the Grand Mansion said, so why should he forgive the crime?" Wang Zhongzheng said casually, and was full of doubts. He went to the State Council to announce an edict, but did not notify the current master of the State Council of Qinzhou. His actions actually showed the emperor's attitude towards Li Shizhong. Under normal circumstances, Li Shizhong should be anxious, but the smiling face in front of him was not at all afraid.

In order to welcome the angel Wang Zhongzheng, Li Shizhong handed over the banquet at the lobby and invited all officials in Qinzhou to attend. The palace banquet at Zhengri could be held in the Daqing Hall, and it would be held several times a year in the lobby of the yamen.

The banquet will take some time to prepare for the banquet. The guest of the host Wang Zhongzheng went to the residence he had just arranged to take a shower and change clothes, and took a break. Dou, Xiang, Wang, Gao and others in the lobby also scattered around, waiting for the beginning of the banquet.

Wang Hou and Zhao Long followed Wang Shao and Han Gang back to the official hall, while Gao Zunyu had something else to do and did not follow him.

After a long time, when they met again, both of them put on official robes, which made Wang Shunchen look very excited and stared at the blue color on Zhao Long's body all the way.

However, he and Yang Ying also obtained official positions. A few days ago, the official documents of promoting the two officials had been sent to Qinzhou and they were not qualified to receive an imperial edict, but their official edicts had to go to Beijing to report to the Third Class Academy before they could get it. It was not as easy as Wang Long receiving it directly in Beijing.

Wang Shao walked in front, and Wang Hou talked to Han Gang about his experiences when he entered the emperor's reverence: "This time, my brother foolishly came to the reverence more and more, and he was lucky enough to see the heavenly face. Unexpectedly, he saw Yukun's name on the screen of Chongzheng Hall!"

Han Gang smiled and said, "Are you sure it's the word Han Gang? Or is it the only one in the world who calls this name?"

"Yukun, don't be humble, the emperor has mentioned you several times." The emperor's attention to Han Gang made Wang Hou envious, and even after nearly a month, he was in the same mood.

When he returned to the official hall, Wang Shao did not ask about his son's experience in Beijing or the private messages he brought back. He sat down and asked, "Yukun, is this time considered a self-bound?"

Han Gang nodded helplessly, "Li Jingluo may be staying in Qinzhou this time instead of Deputy General Manager Dou."

Han Gang answered directly, making Wang Shao sigh: "If I had known this, I would have left Dou Shunqing. It would be the same when Li Shizhong left before dealing with him."

Picking one between fish and bear's paw is already a big deal. Picking one between smelly meat and rotten shrimp is even more troublesome, and Han Gang doesn't want either. But when you think back to the smug smile on Li Shizhong's face just now, you can know that he is full of confidence in being retained in Qinzhou as a substitute for Dou Shunqing.

Just now, Wang Shao was smiling like Li Shizhong, but he smiled a little stiffly. Although outsiders couldn't see it, Han Gang had been with him for a long time and could see it thoroughly at a glance. Li Shizhong was proud. If Wang Shao could smile happily, it would be a ghost.

Han Gang coughed lightly, and Wang Shao, who had his eyebrows frowned, looked over again. Han Gang said that they were getting used to it because they were getting used to it. Although Wang Hou couldn't understand it, he saw his father's serious expression and knew that he was talking about something big, so he didn't interrupt and listened quietly beside him.

I heard Han Gang say, "I remember the last time I went to the capital, it was early February. At that time, I happened to meet Mr. Han who wrote a letter to the emperor, opposing the Qingmiao Law, and preparing new laws to disturb the people and the country..."

Han Gang said this and then he paused. His words were aimed at it, which made Wang Shao's mind turn rapidly and asked, "Is it the time when Wang Xiang announced his illness and asked?"

Han Gang nodded: "Of course, Wang Xianggong's move is not really asking for it. In fact, he is telling the emperor that I have no one, and forcing the official to choose between reform and non-reform."

Wang Shao felt a little moved when he heard this. Han Gang had told him these words after he came back from the capital, but now in this situation, of course it has a deeper meaning. Wang Shao narrowed his eyes: "Yukun, do you want me to learn from Wang Xianggong?"

Han Gang smiled slightly: "Wang Xianggong can't learn math skills, but it's enough to learn its original intention."

"Does I have it or not?" Wang Shao narrowed his eyes even more violently, and his eyes were compressed sharply.

Han Gang nodded again, but said nothing.

Dou Shunqing must have gone forever when he went to the palace this time. The emperor wanted to maintain the stability of Qinzhou, and it was impossible for an infamous official in Qinzhou to take the position of the prefect and the sacrificial envoy. Xiang Bao's seat was also pushed to Zhang Shouyue. When Dou and Xiang went all the way, the only remaining Li Shizhong among the three highest-ranking people in the Qinzhou army could naturally keep his position firmly. The Qinzhou magistrate who saw through the emperor's mind was so proud.

Li Shizhong, Dou Shunqing and Xiang Bao were three stumbling blocks in the matter of opening the border in Hehuang. Wang Shao stayed in Qinzhou for two years, tried his best to seize the opportunity, and then achieved two great victories in Guwei. However, the plan to pingrong is used to use military farms and markets, and the plan to fundamental Longyou has not been implemented yet.

Han Gang had already made up his mind to help Wang Shao succeed as soon as possible, and would never allow any of them to stay in Qinzhou. This time is a rare opportunity. Two consecutive victories have allowed Wang Shao and Hehuang to open borders to rise sharply in the minds of the emperor. If he did not take this opportunity to expel the three Li Shizhong as soon as possible, no one could tell what changes the situation will change in the future. Maybe Wang Shao will suffer several consecutive defeats in a few days, and it is not impossible.

The original plan was to drive Dou Shunqing, who had the greatest chance of staying, away with Li Shizhong and Xiang Bao. Although it was a bit of a backfire, it was just changing the target from Dou Shunqing to Li Shizhong.

Han Gang's proposal was to let the emperor understand that Li Shizhong who stayed in Qinzhou and Wang Shao were incompatible with each other, forcing the emperor to choose one of the two. He was confident who would choose in the end. Wang Shao was also sure, and no longer confirmed with Han Gang, but asked his son what he had heard about this trip to Beijing.

The official banquet was prepared very quickly. Wang Shao only asked his son a few words and informed the minor official who attended the banquet had already walked to the door.

In the lobby, Li Shizhong and Wang Zhong were sitting down at the top of the first guest. Sitting in the left and right rows of seats were all the officials in Qinzhou City, all of whom sat down at different levels. Han Gang had just advanced to the first level, and his position was raised several times. Wang Hou and Zhao Long were also qualified to participate, but they just sat at the end.

The officials of Qinzhou City came one after another. Dou Shunqing and Xiang Bao also sat in their seats. Soon, Zhang Shouyue also arrived. As the news came, the new Qin Fenglu military commander strode into the hall. He first looked at Xiang Bao who had already sat down, moved his eyes away, and then greeted each other with Li Shizhong who was coming.

Zhang Shouyue's hair and beard were all gray, and he was a famous old general in the Guanxi army. He had been in the army for forty years and had rolled in the army as old as Xiang Bao. But he could not be on par with Xiang Bao until today. And if Xiang Bao had not had a stroke, he would have to wait for a few years to take over. Thinking of this, he looked at Wang Shao and Han Gang with a little gratitude.

Each of them sat down, and Li Shizhong stood up to toast. After a tedious etiquette before the formal banquet, the banquet really began. Drinking orders and toasting each other. Some singing girls were also invited to perform for a drink, and the atmosphere gradually became lively.

Dou Shunqing, who had been drinking a lot of wine, raised his glass to Li Shizhong after respecting Wang Zhongzheng and sighed: "The family is unfortunate, and the subordinates are incompetent in managing the family and are not strict in control, which has made the gangsters deceive the incompetent grandson of Xiaguan. Now that things have come to this point, Xiaguan dare not ask the Grand Mansion to behave with favoritism and abuse the law. He only hopes that the Grand Mansion can investigate the crimes of those thieves who lure good deeds and do evil, so that they can no longer harm the children of other good families." As he said that, two lines of turbid tears came into his eyes.

Finally here! Han Gang, who had been observing secretly, looked shaking. Li Shizhong insisted on lifting Dou out of prison and presided over the trial of the case. It was because he guessed that Dou Shunqing would replace him, and in order to gain a straight name in the emperor's heart so that he could recover as soon as possible. But the premise is no longer valid. Dou Shunqing asked to come to him, and he should not be selfless in his character.

Dou Shunqing begged Li Shizhong humbly and asked him to push all the charges on Dou Jie's friend. He said the words in front of Wang Zhongzheng, which also meant that Wang Zhongzheng would pass his words to the emperor. He hoped that the emperor could see his old face and let his grandson live.

Dou Shunqing claimed to be a subordinate official and gave Li Shizhong enough face. Qinzhou magistrate helped Dou Shunqing back to his seat, shook his head and sighed: "The army has been in Jingzhao for five days. We should be careful, but we have no time to take care of him." His high-sounding words were actually promising Dou Shunqing not to pursue Dou Jie's crime during his tenure. The earlier grudges seemed to be wiped out.

Seeing the pride in Li Shizhong's eyes, Han Gang blinked and looked at Wang Shao at the top of his head. But he saw that he was turning his wine glass, looking a little hesitant.

Han Gang was slightly angry. If Wang Shao refused to go, he would go. Wang Hou had just said that his name had been remembered by the emperor. Since that was the case, Han Gang had nothing to worry about. The gap in official positions could be erased by the emperor's attention. Now in the emperor's heart, his emphasis on Li Shizhong may not be higher than himself.

Han Gang thrust his waist and was about to speak, Wang Shao finally made a move. He put down his wine glass and said seriously to Li Shizhong: "The Great Mansion is wrong. Although it is a five-day Jingzhao, it is still the supreme mansion. Since there are cases to be tried, there is no constant reason. Right and wrong are in the hearts of the people. I think with the wisdom of the Great Mansion, I should be able to return justice to the people of Qinzhou!"

Wang Shao is quite responsible, and a large part of it was suppressed by Li Shizhong for a long time, and the old grudges he had accumulated in his heart made him not shy away.

As soon as Wang Shao said this, the audience was drunk and hot, and the quietness suddenly became cold, and even a needle fell down. Dou Shunqing gritted his teeth, and Li Shizhong's face was covered with clouds, and Wang Zhongzheng's eyes also became deep, and his eyes turned, jumping back and forth on the three of them.

Han Gang smiled slightly and couldn't get along with Li Shizhong in front of Wang Zhongzheng. This is called "I have no him." Let the emperor measure who should stay in Qinzhou City? Is it Li Shizhong or Wang Shao?

Li Shizhong stared at Wang Shao with his lips pursed for a while, and then his eyes moved downward. His aide Yao Fei said it right. Everyone has different habits. Wang Shao's temperament has never been so direct, but it looks very similar to someone sitting at the bottom. Li Shizhong pondered Wang Shao's words, and clearly wrote it as produced by Han Ji.
