Chapter 43 Big is not necessarily good
"What a bully!"
Sun Chonglou drew his sword at home and prepared to rush out.
"stop!"
Fu Cheng stopped him, and Sun Chonglou turned around and said, "Master, this is bullying our Jiang family!"
Jiang Qingzhi didn't kill the man, so why is Wang Xintian's widow crying with her child?
It would be fine if you just cried, but you actually burned paper money outside the Jiang family’s gate. That’s really too much!
"Master, what is this?" Sun Chonglou thought for a moment, "The bully opened the door for the bully. The bullying has reached home."
"Let's wait until the young master comes back." Fu Cheng said steadily.
Jiang Qingzhi and Cui Yuan are in the palace at this moment.
"My opinion is to execute Chen Ji as a warning to others." Cui Yuan said his opinion briefly and glanced at Jiang Qingzhi. "But Lord Chang Wei thinks it is inappropriate."
Emperor Jiajing asked, "Why is it inappropriate?"
"I feel that Chen Ji is too calm."
"He knows he is going to die, so how could he still want to live?" Cui Yuan smiled contemptuously. He was old and trembling.
"I want to investigate further." Jiang Qingzhi refused to give up.
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Works needs to be appeased!" Cui Yuan said worriedly.
Emperor Jiajing looked at Jiang Qingzhi.
Jiang Qingzhi raised his eyes calmly.
"Three days!" said Emperor Jiajing.
"Minister, it will only take two days." Jiang Qingzhi said.
"Go!"
After the two men left, Emperor Jiajing suddenly asked, "Huang Jin, why do you think Qingzhi wanted to go against the Ministry of Works?"
The head of the Ministry of Works was killed by military men, and there was a cry of fighting and killing. At this time, Jiang Qingzhi said that there was some emotional abuse in this matter.
What do you want the officials in the Ministry of Works to think?
Huang Jin considered his words carefully, "Your Majesty, I think that Lord Wei may have noticed something."
"Tell the truth." Emperor Jiajing was a little impatient. "People around me don't dare to tell the truth, so why do I keep you around?"
Huang Jin said hurriedly: "Yes. I heard that Prince Consort Cui went to the Jiang family and vomited blood. It can be seen that the two have a deep hatred. I don't know what the big truth is, I only know that if the opponent agrees, you should oppose it..."
In other words: Whatever your Majesty's opponent agrees with, I will certainly oppose.
"That's right." Emperor Jiajing nodded and stroked his beloved pet in his arms.
Huang Jin saw that Emperor Jiajing was in a good mood, so he said, "Your Majesty, Prince Consort Cui is very experienced, and I am afraid that he will trip up Lord Chang Wei and do something ruthless behind his back."
"It's not good to have a smooth career." The Jiajing Emperor's eyes were slightly warm, and he didn't know what he was thinking. "This is Qingzhi's first time to do something and speak up. I can't support him all his life, so it's better for him to suffer some setbacks.
I am here to protect him, just like my mother did back then. I..."
During those years, Emperor Jiajing and his son joined forces to fight against the ministers, Empress Dowager Zhang and others in the unfamiliar capital. The inexperienced Emperor Jiajing made many mistakes.
Every time Emperor Jiajing made mistakes or suffered setbacks, his mother, Empress Dowager Jiang, never scolded him, but encouraged him.
"My son is really amazing."
"My son has made a lot of progress this time compared to last time..."
"I'm happy for you."
With such encouragement again and again, Emperor Jiajing grew rapidly.
One by one, opponents fell in the face of encouragement.
"My son, find your uncle... treat him well... remember..."
Before leaving, Empress Dowager Jiang held Emperor Jiajing's hand, looked at her son and nodded, then left with a smile.
that moment……
Heartache!
Emperor Jiajing lowered his eyes, raised his eyebrows and blocked them in front of his eyes.
Frosty Eyebrows looked at his master and stretched out his claws to touch the thin face.
"Meow!"
……
Jiang Qingzhi and Cui Yuan walked out of the palace. Cui Yuan looked at Jiang Qingzhi sideways and said gently, "I heard that young people who are outstanding often don't live long. Chang Wei Bo, take care of yourself!"
That kind smile made the officials who saw this scene not far away praise Prince Consort Cui's demeanor as an elder.
Jiang Qingzhi looked into his old eyes, and the cruelty in them made him smile.
"Do you know how Yang Xiu died?" Jiang Qingzhi asked.
In history, Cui Yuan can be regarded as a winner in life. He died at a ripe old age.
Yang Xiu died because he chose the wrong side and was fond of playing clever tricks.
In front, Prince Yu was waiting. When Jiang Qingzhi came over, he whispered, "Uncle, Cui Yuan and the others are going to deal with you."
"Look, even you know it, how could I not know it?" Jiang Qingzhi touched his head with satisfaction.
The eunuch behind Prince Yu muttered in dissatisfaction, "How dare you touch His Highness's head."
Yang Xi shouted, "Shut up!"
This is a battle and the atmosphere is gradually becoming tense.
Behind him, Cui Yuan said to his followers, "Tell Lu Bing that Jiang Qingzhi has jumped into a pit. Prepare to bury him!"
……
Jiang Qingzhi saw Wang Xintian and his family outside his home.
"Please, Lord, make the decision for my husband!"
The woman knelt on the ground and cried.
Several children of different sizes were crying loudly.
Sun Chonglou rushed out, holding his knife, and asked, "Master!"
"Be patient." Jiang Qingzhi appeased Sun Chonglou who wanted to kill, and said to the woman calmly: "I don't know who instigated you to wait outside the gate of the Jiang family and cry for the dead. Leave within a quarter of an hour, and I will forgive you for what happened."
The woman looked up and was actually in her twenties. If you want to be pretty, you have to wear mourning clothes. Her tearful look was eye-catching.
"Please, Lord, let the Wang family go!" The woman choked up. "I heard that Lord was in charge of this matter, but he refused to punish the murderer. I am a woman and I dare not offend Lord's majesty, but... as a wife, I would rather die than seek justice for my husband."
This woman is not very serious! Jiang Qingzhi rode his horse slowly over.
"Then take care of yourself."
Go home and close the door.
Fu Cheng smiled bitterly, "Many people are watching the fun."
"They are dancing happily now, and I hope they can still laugh out loud when the list is drawn up."
That night, Jiang Qingzhi asked someone to call Dou Jialan.
What are you going to do, sir?
Dou Jialan was so nervous that she even grabbed the hem of her clothes and pulled them down hard, as if Jiang Qingzhi would come up and pull her clothes at the next moment.
"Can I trust you?" Jiang Qingzhi asked.
"Not to sleep with you?" Dou Jialan blurted out.
What is this woman thinking about? Jiang Qingzhi was very upset.
Dou Jialan lowered his head awkwardly, then raised his head, "From the moment I walked out of the Jinyiwei gate, I was a member of the Jiang family."
"Then you go out with me tonight." Jiang Qingzhi looked at her, "Actually, I value your ability more."
You are very attractive to men, but you are a woman with both beauty and wisdom!
This hint made Dou Jialan hold his head high.
Jiang Qingzhi turned his eyes away and secretly praised himself: It's so fucking tiring!
The night was dark.
The soldiers from the military department were patrolling the streets lazily, the lanterns in their hands emitting a diffuse halo of light in the night, and as they swayed, it was like a hundred ghosts parading at night.
The soldiers were complaining that their money and food supplies for this month had been withheld again. If this continued, they would be better off doing hard labor.
"Yesterday, dozens of brothers were dragged to repair the house. The family was generous and each person was given a piece of meat at mealtime. It was three fingers wide of fat. Tsk tsk, a bite of it was full of oil..."
"Damn it, stop talking. I'm hungry."
The group of people didn't notice that two dark shadows passed silently from behind them.
In the camp of Huben Zuowei, the soldiers on duty were muttering.
"Li Laoliu, I'm going to take a nap, you keep an eye on me."
"Sleep, sleep."
After a while, Li Laoliu's eyelids began to droop and he fell asleep holding his spear.
As for night duty, this is the capital city, there has been nothing to do for decades, so what's the point of being on duty?
Jiang Qingzhi looked at this scene and no longer had any doubts about his decision.
Cui Yuan said that he stood on the side of the military, but Jiang Qingzhi was not afraid of the contempt and hostility of the literati and officials and accepted it.
It's not that he is stupid, nor is it that he is righteous.
But two years later, Altan's army was about to arrive at the city.
Subsequently, the Japanese pirates became more and more powerful, and Altan Khan caused great headaches for the Ming Dynasty on the grassland.
The Jurchens were not paying attention at the moment. In a few decades, Li Chengliang raised a tiger to cause trouble, and Nurhaci gradually became powerful...
In order to remove these mines, a strong army is essential.
Behind him, Dou Jialan gently poked Jiang Qingzhi.
Several soldiers were asleep.
There was a hole not far away. Jiang Qingzhi easily got in. After waiting for a long time but not seeing Dou Jialan coming in, he turned around and couldn't help laughing.
Dou Jialan was hesitating in embarrassment and annoyance...she was stuck.
Jiang Qingzhi went over to help and pulled her over.
Many times, big is not necessarily good.
In the camp, the patrolling soldiers were nowhere to be seen.
Wen Tianwu is so playful!
Jiang Qingzhi shook his head.
When we got to the place where the soldiers were imprisoned, the guards...
What about people?
What the hell!
Jiang Qingzhi couldn't help but be stunned.
Dou Jialan, however, is used to it.
Jiang Qingzhi was about to go in, but Dou Jialan stopped him and whispered, "Sir, it's easy to cause a riot in the middle of the night."
"Soldiers who can make trouble together for Chen Ji will not cause chaos!"
Jiang Qingzhi patted Dou Jialan's hand, and after she let go, he entered the room.
Dou Jialan held the hilt of the knife, his whole body tense, ready to assist Jiang Qingzhi in case of commotion inside.
I waited for a long time but there was no movement.
Dou Jialan was puzzled and took a look inside.
More than ten soldiers and a small flag officer were kneeling there.
In front, Jiang Qingzhi stood with his hands behind his back.
"I want the truth."
"I am a villain..." Small Flag Officer Shang Congliang bowed his head, "I am telling the truth."
"As a centurion, Chen Ji doesn't need to work. So where does his anger come from? If he wasn't angry, why would he kill Wang Xintian after drinking? Is he crazy?"
Jiang Qingzhi looked at Shang Congliang coldly, "Warriors have been suppressed for many years, where do they get the courage to kill civil officials?"
"Little man, little man..."
"I've heard that Chen Ji has a good reputation in the army and is very loyal. He is very loyal..." Jiang Qingzhi stared at Shang Congliang, "Let me guess. His brothers were bullied by civilian officials and couldn't stand it anymore so they took action. Chen Ji is very loyal and decisively stood up for his subordinates... I call this taking the blame."
Shang Congliang lowered his head.
"I have nothing to say."
"Would a centurion with unparalleled loyalty kill innocent people?"
"Can a centurion with unparalleled loyalty kill innocent people without any shame?"
"You may be able to hide all this from those civil officials who don't care about the lives of warriors, but you can never hide it from me!"
"You are..." Shang Congliang looked up.
"My son, Chang Wei Bo, Jiang Qingzhi." Dou Jialan walked into the room with worry in his eyes.
If no evidence can be obtained to reverse the situation, any of these soldiers will betray and spread the news that Jiang Qingzhi had visited the Tiger Guards at night. Cui Yuan will use this as an excuse to impeach Jiang Qingzhi, and Jiang Qingzhi will be in big trouble...
Shang Congliang lowered his head suddenly.
Kowtow.
"The man was killed by a villain."
These words were like thunder, causing Dou Jialan to look at Jiang Qingzhi in ecstasy.
Jiang Qingzhi stood with his hands behind his back and looked at Shang Congliang.
"Look, this matter is getting lively, isn't it?"
……
Asking for votes.
