Rebirth of the third flower queen

When Zhang Xiangzhuo turned to look for him, Su Kai had an ominous premonition, if there was a big hole in the ground, he really wanted to get in right away so that Feng Qi could not see him.It's a pity that there is no hole in the ground, and Zhang Xiangzhuo's friends consciously dodged to the side, making him stand out more conspicuously, and there was nowhere to hide, Feng Qi caught him right away.When Zhang Xiangzhuo triumphantly revealed his identity, Su Kai lost all thoughts, his legs gave way, and he knelt down to Feng Qi, begging: "Your Highness, it's none of my business, what do I do?" I don't even know, I just had a drink with them, and I really don't know what shameful deeds they did, Your Highness, please forgive me!"

Although Su Kai didn't reveal Feng Qi's identity, the title of "His Royal Highness" can only be owned by members of the royal family. Thinking of the fact that the emperor passed through Ying County, everyone's faces turned pale instantly. They just came out to drink , seems to offend someone who shouldn't be offended.

The people who were called by Zhang Xiangzhuo to drink with Su Kai today were all young masters of a local rich family in Ying County, and they had nothing to do with what the Zhang family did. Their reactions were similar to Su Kai's. He is innocent and implicated by Zhang Xiangzhuo.

Feng Qi didn't even look at those people, and only asked Zhang Xiangzhuo: "You said you were the son of the magistrate of Ying County, right?"

Although Zhang Xiangzhuo was usually arrogant, he was used to it, and when he met someone who was beaten by him, he froze and nodded obediently.

"Okay, come back with us." After Feng Qi finished speaking, she said to Feng Feng, "Take him too." He pointed to the middle-aged man.

Thus, Jun Li controlled Zhang Xiangzhuo, who was almost unable to stand with weak hands and legs, and the middle-aged man who was unable to fight back was caught by the wind. Su Kai followed behind them with a low eyebrow, and the group returned to the camp. People, they are understaffed, so they can only let it go temporarily.

The rainstorm didn't delay him, and he came back earlier than them. The person he brought back was also handed over to Gu Ao for interrogation. It is estimated that there will be a result soon.

Xiao Xiyi also learned the cause and effect of the matter from Yu Yu's mouth, and was worried about Feng Qi, so when she saw him coming back, she hurriedly asked: "Huaijin, I heard from Yu Yu that you fought with someone, did you get hurt? "After speaking, she picked up Feng Qi's clothes, wanting to check them herself.

"I'm fine, Your Majesty don't worry." Feng Qi shook her head indifferently, it's just a few petty thieves, they can hurt him no matter where.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Xieyi checked very seriously, and finally found a small bruise on Feng Qi's right elbow, and planned to give him medicine.

Feng Qi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and hurriedly stopped her: "Your Majesty, it's just a touch, it's not a serious problem, don't be so troublesome." After speaking, she pulled her hand back, but the bruise didn't even break the skin, there is no medicine to take, Xiao Xieyi made too much fuss, he couldn't accept it.

"Isn't I worried about you? Huai Jin actually despises me..." Xiao Xieyi didn't insist, but complained in a low voice.

"Your Majesty's feelings for me, I understand." Feng Qi saw Xiao Xieyi's expression of concern, she quickly calmed him down, and added, "For the next two days, I will not go anywhere, and will accompany you every day. Your Majesty, is Your Majesty satisfied?" Do you think he doesn't know, Xiao Xieyi just cares, he has gone out for a walk, but he can't go out, he feels unbalanced, just like Danyang and Qiuran, when he went out earlier Hey, the two little guys also hugged his legs to prevent him from leaving. He played hide-and-seek with them, and finally took the opportunity to escape.

Xiao Xieyi's face turned cloudy immediately, Huai Jin really understood him, it seemed that Xiao Yanzhou was right, showing weakness occasionally is very necessary.Feng Qi is a person who prefers to be soft but not hard. If you are tough, he will be strong when you are strong. If you are gentler and softer, he will be softer and softer than you.

"Satisfied, satisfied, I can't be more satisfied." It's not that Xiao Xieyi insisted on holding on to Feng Qi, but that for the past ten days or so, he was busy on the road every day, and at night he just lay down and went to sleep. He couldn't do anything, which was rare. After staying in Ying county for a few days, he must hurry up to make up for the loss.

When Xiao Xiyi said this, he hugged Feng Qi's waist from behind and said it. He was slightly taller than Feng Qi, and the breath when he spoke naturally sprayed on the back of his neck.Feng Qi felt uncomfortable, wanted to break free but was hugged tightly by Xiao Xieyi, their postures were quite ambiguous.Just when Xiao Xieyi was hesitating whether to take advantage of the good atmosphere to do something, there was a slight knock on the door, and he said joyfully: "Your Majesty, Commander Gu is asking to see you." A little annoyance flashed in Xiao Xieyi's eyes , but still let Feng Qi go, and the two arranged their appearances.

"Tell Gu Ao to come in." Not only was the person brought back by the rainstorm, Zhang Xiangzhuo, the middle-aged man, and Su Kai brought back by Feng Qi and the others were also handed over to Gu Ao for interrogation. There is a result, it is impossible for Xiao Xieyi to miss him, and miss the business.

Sure enough, Gu Ao came in and said that he had already asked about the general situation. The person being hunted down was Jiang Zexin, the son of a cloth merchant in Ying County. He was hunted down by Gu Weiliang and others. , because they are a group of people planning to stop the sedan chair and sue the imperial court.

"Sue imperial court?" Feng Qi was shocked when she heard the words, what kind of outrageous thing did that Zhang Yihui do to arouse such great public anger.You must know that imperial petitions are not filed casually, even if they win, the person who sues will pay a heavy price, ranging from flogging to death, so those who have always sued imperial petitions have nowhere to appeal Greatly wronged, otherwise whoever can risk his life will have to sue the other party.

"Who is he going to sue? What's the matter?" Xiao Xieyi was also very surprised. It was the first time he had been sued by someone for the second time as emperor.

"Jiang Zexin wants to sue Zhang Yihui, the county magistrate of Ying County." Gu Ao replied, and then asked, "Does Your Majesty want to see him?" Because Zhang Yihui and the others were well prepared, when the imperial driver drove around the city during the day, the people on the roadside It has been investigated, and those with problems can't get in at all. Jiang Zexin and others were detained a few days ago because they leaked the news. He was lucky. He escaped by chance and didn't know where to go. Wherever he went, Zhang Yihui, who found him fleeing, sent people to hunt him down. He thought he was going to die, but he ran into Feng Qi and others again.

"Did you tell him the rules of filing an imperial petition?" In order to prevent people from indiscriminately suing imperial petitions, there has been this rule in all dynasties, that is, before suing an imperial petition, the person who sues must be flogged first, and then he can only sue after passing through. It's okay to win the lawsuit, but if you lose, you have to pay for your life.

Gu Ao nodded and replied: "I told him, he still wants to sue." It is for this reason that Gu Ao did not reveal the content of Jiang Zexin's complaint. If Xiao Xieyi is willing to see him, he can say it in person, and he does not need to do it for him. It's just that ordinary people may not be able to endure the flogging.

"Since that's the case, announce him to come in." Xiao Xieyi could already predict that what Zhang Yihui committed was probably not the fault of ordinary people.

Feng Qi had been silent before, but when she saw Gu Ao turned to leave, she suddenly walked to his side and whispered something.

Gu Ao went to pass on Jiang Zexin and executed the caning, Xiao Xieyi asked Feng Qi: "Huai Jin, what are you whispering to Gu Qing?"

Feng Qi raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "I told the uncle Guo of the Gu family to let him pay attention to the son of the uncle Guo of the Su family." As long as Zhang Yihui is not guilty of treason and Su Kai doesn't know the inside story, Feng Qi doesn't want to put Su Kai in the wrong place. If the family is involved, otherwise, the Empress Dowager Su and Su Yu will really look bad.

"Really?" Xiao Xieyi expressed doubts. From Feng Qi's expression and mouth movements, he didn't seem to be talking about this matter.

"I don't dare to bully the emperor." Feng Qi was eloquent. He said this to Gu Ao, but not just now, but when he came back.

Xiao Xieyi shook his head and smiled, and didn't ask any more questions. On Su Kai's question, his views were similar to Feng Qi's. As long as he was really innocent, he planned to erase this matter and reprimand Su Yao in private. The Su family only has a false title, if it is punished again, I will be sorry for the Queen Mother Su.

A quarter of an hour later, Gu Ao brought Jiang Zexin to face the saint.Jiang Zexin had just been flogged, and was helped in by two of Gu Ao's men, but he staggered, and insisted on kowtowing to Xiao Xieyi and Feng Qi. Not coming.

Xiao Xieyi immediately understood what Feng Qi had reminded Gu Ao before, he was telling him to be gentle, otherwise the normal caning would come down, unless it was the luck of a martial arts master to resist, ordinary people would definitely be beaten to death. I can't even walk, let alone kneel or something.

Xiao Shuyi glanced at Feng Qi, then turned to ask Jiang Zexin seriously: "You said you were going to sue for impeachment, have you thought it through?"

Jiang Zexin nodded, his face was pale but his eyes were firm: "Caomin has thought it over clearly, Caomin wants to sue Zhang Yihui, magistrate of Ying County."

"What do you want to sue him?" Xiao Xieyi said solemnly. At this time in his previous life, he also went down to the south of the Yangtze River and stayed in Ying County. The magistrate of Ying County at that time should be Zhang Yihui, but there was no complaint against him. It can be seen that their pursuit was successful.

"Sue him for being an inhumane official and disregarding human life." Jiang Zexin's expression was extremely sad and indignant, and his eyes were burning with raging anger.

It turned out that because Ying County was the starting point of the Grand Canal, there were a lot of ships transporting goods in the past. Zhang Yihui was greedy for money. He charged [-]% of all cargo ships entering and leaving Ying County Wharf, otherwise he would not let them go.Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen have the lowest status. No matter how badly they are exploited, they dare not speak out. The dog is ready.

Three years ago, there was a flood in the Xining River, which flooded countless fertile fields. After the flood, there were pests again. A large number of mulberry trees on both sides of the river died, and the number of silkworms was greatly reduced. The price of silk and satin immediately rose to the original two. Three times, the cloth merchants complained endlessly.

Under normal circumstances, if the purchase price rises, the selling price can only increase accordingly in order to maintain the original profit, but cloth is not food, so it has to be used so much that it is really unaffordable to make more patches. , especially good materials, can’t be sold anymore.

Unexpectedly, in the fall of the year before last, the emperor celebrated the first birthdays of Princess Danyang and Prince Yong. Officials from all over the country ordered them to give gifts. One was more delicate than the other, and the other was more expensive than the other. Ying County is rich, and Zhang Yihui was naturally not willing to be seconded. All good things are sent.

However, he is stingy by nature and extremely greedy for money. How can he be willing to pay for his own money? In a dilemma, the county magistrate bought a large amount of high-quality silk and satin from them at a price of less than one-third of the purchase price, and the business could not continue immediately.

But that's all. At the end of last year, there was news that the Emperor's Southern Tour was going to stay in Ying County. Zhang Yihui is a man who loves face, but unfortunately he has a small official position and has no chance to show off. This time Xiao Xieyi wants to pass by his land, naturally Don't miss it, think well and perform well.

In order to satisfy the emperor, Zhang Yihui carried out a major renovation of the corresponding county. All dilapidated houses were demolished, and all beggars on the street were driven away. In short, all means were used to make the county magnificent.In this way, it is not only businessmen who have a hard time.

People often say that people don't fight with officials, why, officials and officials protect each other, and they can't fight.In fact, those are all excuses, but they can still live and don't want to take risks.If they are really forced to the point where they cannot survive, people will definitely resist. Survival is their bottom line.

Because of Gu Juncheng's iron and blood performance in Liangjian in the past few years, the people have a high degree of affection for Xiao Xieyi. They all say that he is a good emperor and will speak for the common people. Clean and neat, it must have been ordered by the emperor.

It happened that Xiao Xieyi was about to pass through Ying County on his southern tour, and the idea of ​​stopping the sedan chair to sue came out. Didn’t it all say in the play that as long as he saw the emperor, all problems would be solved, and he was forced to be homeless by Zhang Yihui The people of Ying County pinned their hopes on the imperial court complaint.

Unexpectedly, before they figured out how to stop the sedan chair, some people repented and leaked the news in advance.Gu Weiliang is Zhang Yihui's master, most of the bad things Zhang Yihui did was behind his back, he knew the consequences of this kind of thing, so he arrested all the people gathered.

It's a pity that one hundred secrets were sparse, and Jiang Zexin was missed.Jiang Zexin was able to escape, in fact, thanks to those who were dissatisfied with Zhang Yihui and did not dare to show it. If they hadn't covered him, he would not have been able to run to Wangjiang Tower, let alone meet Feng Qi, and thus be rescued.

"You're telling the truth?" Xiao Xieyi was quite ashamed, why did he feel that these things had something to do with himself.

"Every sentence of the grassroots is true, and I will never dare to deceive the emperor. Please check it out." Jiang Zexin kowtowed repeatedly, but Xiao Xieyi looked at Gu Ao.

Gu Ao nodded silently. He ordered people to investigate all the things Jiang Zexin said, and they were all true. It is really desperate to sue him for imperial certificate.

Xiao Xieyi waved his hand, signaling to take Jiang Zexin down, and then Gu Ao stayed behind, "I will ask someone to investigate what you said, as long as it is true, I will give you an explanation." When Jiang Zexin left, he asked Gu Ao again, "Su What's the matter with Kai? You tell me clearly."

Gu Ao thought for a while, then cupped his hands and said: "Returning to the emperor, I have checked it. Su Kai and Zhang Yihui can't say that they colluded. It was just the first birthday of Princess Danyang and Prince Yong the year before last. The gift from Zhang Yihui was delivered through Jinxiang Houfu. From the Ministry of Rites, he also sent a gift to the Jinxiang Hou Mansion. This time, the holy driver passed by Ying County, and Su Kai accompanied him. He was invited by Zhang Xiangzhuo to have a drink. He didn't participate in anything. He didn't know Zhang Yihui's behavior in Ying County. Affection."

Xiao Xiyi breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, and ordered: "Gu Qing, find two people to send Su Kai back to the capital overnight, and tell Su Yaozhi that he is not allowed to go out until I return to Beijing." Fortunately, Su Kai He didn't do anything too extreme, and he could afford to give Empress Dowager Su a face.

Gu Ao took the order to leave, Xiao Xieyi said to Feng Qi with a bit of melancholy: "Huai Jin, I have been on the throne all these years, I never knew that some small things in the palace would be magnified to such an extent in the folk." No matter where For the rest of her life, Xiao Xieyi spent a lot of time in the palace, and when she came out occasionally, she would hug each other and meet local officials. It was the first time for him to meet a small person like Jiang Zexin. He found out what he said, and What he saw from the memorials in the past was not exactly the same. He seemed to have inadvertently overlooked many things that should not be ignored.

"No one is perfect, Your Majesty doesn't need to blame himself, if there are any deficiencies, just change it." Feng Qi was not surprised by Xiao Xieyi's thoughts, thinking that he was enthroned at the age of 12, lived in the deep palace all year round, what he saw and heard, It was all reported by the ministers, and naturally there was no way of knowing the bottom-level matters.

"Huaijin, how do you think I'm going to change it?" Xiao Xieyi remembered that when Feng Qi was reading with her, she basically asked questions and said something, but after officially entering the palace, she became more restrained, especially in political affairs, almost He only listened but didn't talk, so that he had one less object to discuss.

"Your Majesty, the harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs, and ministers dare not make false statements about government affairs." Xiao Xieyi is in a good mood, and can listen to everything he has to say, but if he is in a bad mood, these things that should not be said are evidence of his guilt, no matter Xiao Xieyi No matter how she treats him, Feng Qi never lets herself cross the line.

Xiao Xiyi sighed softly, put her arms around Feng Qi, and said in a hoarse voice: "Huai Jin, can you just pretend to be helping me?" He understood that no matter how docile Feng Qi behaved in front of him, he never In his heart, after all, he was on guard against him, he didn't believe that he would treat him unconditionally.

"Your Majesty, it's very embarrassing for you to do this." Now that Qiu Ran is young, Xiao Xieyi may not think that there is anything wrong with him intervening in politics. When Qiu Ran grows up and he is getting old, a full-fledged prince It's enough to make people taboo, and behind him there is a noble king who has ruled the six palaces and worked in politics for many years, so that's not bad.It's not that Feng Qi doesn't believe in Xiao Xieyi, what he can't believe is the emperor's desire to monopolize power, there are too many such precedents in the past dynasties, he doesn't want to make Xiao Xieyi suspicious too early, he has to wait for Qiu Ran to grow up big.

The next day, Zhang Yihui was dismissed from the position of county magistrate by Xiao Xieyi, all relevant personnel were taken into custody, and he was ordered to be sent back to Dali Temple in Shangjing for interrogation.Zhang Yihui is an example of a county magistrate of Qipin who can make the emperor himself act. His replacement is the Imperial Academy reviewing Miao Zhe.

Miao Zhe was Wanchang's 15-year biography, and he was supposed to be released next year, but the county magistrate of Ying County couldn't be left alone, so Xiao Xieyi asked him to take over first, so he could pass this year anyway. If he is competent, he will officially take office next year. If not, the Ministry of Officials will have time to choose someone.

Because of this episode between Zhang Yihui and his son, Xiao Xieyi's three days in Yingxian County were very unhappy, and it didn't get better until he got on the boat.

The current of the Zijin River was not turbulent, and the boat the emperor traveled on was large, and the boat was very stable.Xiao Xieyi was worried about the children at first, she didn't want to think that except Anyang was a little dizzy on the first day, it would be fine after taking the medicine, the other three were fine, they were running around on the boat, very excited, they all said It is more comfortable to travel by boat than by horse-drawn carriage.Gu Wei, on the other hand, was so seasick that Han Xiu prescribed medicine, but it didn't help, he still vomited in a mess.

"Is there any other way?" Xiao Xieyi asked Han Xiu. It took one and a half months by boat from Ying County to Jiangdu. He took Gu Wei to relax him, not to torment him. Send him back before the boat goes far, otherwise there is no other way.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, Rong Chen thinks about it again." Han Xiu pouted his head with a helpless expression on his face.He had been on a sea boat before, and that was tossing and turning in the waves. It was not surprising that anyone would get dizzy on it, but this was a river boat, and it was so stable. It was Princess Anyang who got seasick and took the medicine he prescribed. They all worked, but why couldn't the queen, she was so dizzy that it made people worry, and he couldn't figure it out.

"You should think about it quickly." Xiao Xieyi was really scared. Even when Gu Wei was pregnant with the child, he had never seen him vomit like this. Their boat had been sailing for almost a day, and it was still smooth sailing. He couldn't make up his mind, even if he sent Gu Wei back home, he would have to go through a lot of trouble.

"I understand, I understand." Han Xiu tried his best to recall the various treatments for seasickness he had seen and heard, but no matter which one was used on Gu Wei, he was always dizzy and dizzy. Throwing up whatever you eat, you lost a lot of weight in just two days.

On the third day, Xiao Xieyi felt really uncomfortable seeing Gu Wei, and finally, regardless of his objection, she wanted to send him ashore and then return to Shangjing.

"Your Majesty, I can." Gu Wei didn't want to go back, he had a feeling that if he missed this time, he would never have the chance to go to Jiangnan again.

"Queen, it's not that I want to embarrass you, but..." Xiao Shuyi hesitated to speak, if you faint like this, you won't be able to reach Jiangnan.

At this time, Feng Qi suddenly said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, don't argue, I have a way to get the best of both worlds."
