Chapter 421

Seven days after the Chinese New Year's day, I really stayed in King Mo's residence in early summer and stayed indoors. I stuck with Xiao mubai every day until he went out of the door. I didn't go to Wuma Huacai's yard to sit for a moment and chat with him.

During this period, Moxiang came and sent the huohuanbu clothes customized by huacaifang.

Originally, the dress was intended to be given to Xiao mubai at the beginning of summer and put on on Xiao Yanjun's wedding day. Now the wedding day has been pushed to the end of the year. It's not in a hurry to send it out, so it's put on hold in the house.

The day before Su Qian'an left, he went to King Mo's house and said goodbye to him in early summer. In early summer, he stayed for half a night and asked Zhao Xingwen and Bing Wen to come to King Mo's house to drink together. The banquet ended only when Luo Geng sounded at the time of Zi.

After all, Su Qian'an has to get up early tomorrow.

At the beginning of summer, I didn't want him to be full of wine and miss the business.

Seven days later, in the early Dynasty, the emperor finally made an order that Princess Yirou's body was finally buried in the imperial mausoleum by him.

This decision indirectly confirmed that the emperor chose the dignity of the royal family regardless of Yirou's last wish. Xie Jiming began to be busy with the burial. Xiao Zimu went to Yaohua palace to discuss with Princess Lian, and then went to the imperial study.

The emperor was not surprised to see him and asked him directly, "but for Zheng Zhongguang?"

Xiao Zimu saluted and said, "father is wise."

The emperor looks in a good mood today. Maybe it's because he finally decided to return to Yirou. There is no more haze on his face. It seems that he is still a little soft: "what do you want me to do?"

Xiao Zimu was afraid that the emperor had plans in mind. After listening to his tone, he was relieved, He opened his mouth respectfully: "Zheng Zhongguang should be punished for corruption and bribery, but after all, he was deceived by others. He had learned his way back, and all the bribes were turned in. In addition, he saved his son and Minister regardless of his own life this time. He was kind to his son and minister. If he wanted to ask his father to forgive him, belittle him, and punish him a little to show his punishment?"

The emperor had this intention in his heart. Zheng Zhongguang did embezzle and take bribes, but the dirty silver had already been returned. There was not a small amount of silver and filled a lot of national treasury. The emperor was very satisfied.

In addition, he blocked the fatal arrow for Xiao Zimu on his way back to Beijing. The dark guard has already reported the truth. It is also a fact that Zheng Zhongguang is dying after returning to Beijing. The general manager should not punish him too severely.

But after all, he made a mistake. It's impossible to take the post of Yin in the ancient Wanfu again. He hasn't thought about where to demote him. Now that Xiao Zimu came to talk, he must have made plans. He did a good job this time and gave him a reward, so he asked him, "where do you want his father to demote him?"

After listening to the emperor's kind tone, Xiao Zimu knew that the emperor also planned to give him a favor. The corners of his mouth bent and said with a smile: "originally, the son minister didn't know where to demote. I don't understand. The adult was promoted to the Minister of rites and just vacated the position of minister in the Ministry of work. The son minister thought, if you don't let Zheng Zhongguang stay in Beijing to fill in this position, what do your father and Emperor think?"

The emperor thought for a while and answered cheerfully. He couldn't turn out any waves under his eyes. Although Cui Xuhong didn't say how honest he was, he didn't depend on other rights, but he lived in peace.

Xiao Zimu saw that the emperor promised to come down, thanked en and left. As expected, he walked to the door and was stopped by the emperor as expected by Princess Lian.

Before he came to the imperial study, he had discussed with Princess Lian about Zheng Zhongguang and Pu Youren.

Concubine Lian advised him to mention Zheng Zhongguang, and the emperor agreed to accept it and leave in time. The emperor would take the initiative to ask him to stay and inquire. If he spoke first, he would be inferior.

Xiao Zimu was stopped by the emperor at the moment. She felt that the mother Princess knew her father. Looking back, she pretended to be confused and asked, "what else does the father have to say?"

The emperor waved to him: "Zheng Zhongguang has left office. The governor of ancient Anhui must be appointed. The officials in Beijing are not familiar with the matters there. Have you been there, and can you have a suitable official to recommend it?"

Although Xiao Zimu had an answer in his heart, he still frowned and wanted to do it. Suddenly, he replied, "when my father asked, there was really a person remembered by his son."

The emperor pointed to the chair, motioned him to sit down and replied, "who is your favorite?"

After Xiao Zimu sat down, he didn't panic and said, "that day, in Du Hanfei's residence, my son submitted a letter to my father, Pu Youren, the governor of Wuzhou. The letter was written when Zheng Zhongguang was falsely accused of escaping from prison. My son felt that Pu Youren could be outspoken in that situation. His character was rare, but he could be promoted."

The emperor "um" gave a sound. Seeing Xiao Zimu's appearance of finishing his words, he raised his eyebrow and asked, "no?"

Xiao Zimu blushed and pinched the center of his eyebrows. "Father, the ancient Anhui side actually said that it used to be the rest of Du Hanfei. It's very difficult for his ministers to find one."

Xiao Zimu said the truth. Because it was the truth, the emperor also knew that what he said was true, so he seriously thought about his proposal.

Xiao Zimu saw that the emperor was deep in thought and quietly left again. This time, the Emperor didn't leave him. He waved his hand and agreed.

Xiao Zimu went out of the imperial study and went straight back to the Yongning hall. He sent a letter to the beginning of summer. In the beginning of summer, while leisurely eating grapes in King Mo's house, he read the letter and handed it to Xiao mubai.

"Will the emperor let Pu Youren succeed the ancient Wanfu yin?" At the beginning of summer, he asked Xiao mubai while spitting out the grape skin.

"I'm afraid it will take another two days to agree." Xiao mubai replied while burning Xiao Zimu's handwriting.

"Would you like to go into the palace and fan?" At the beginning of summer, Xiao mubai stayed at home these days. Every day is one day closer to the time of returning to Yucheng.

Therefore, they are tired of being together all day.

"Needless to say, there will naturally be a large number of people recommending candidates for the post of Gu Wan tomorrow morning. In contrast, the emperor will still feel that the candidate proposed by Zi Mu is safer." Xiao mubai smiled and handed him a bunch of big purple grapes.

As he expected, the next morning.

The emperor ordered Zheng Zhongguang to be demoted and appointed him as a servant of the Ministry of work. He was immediately reinstated.

As a result, the post of the ancient Anhui governor was vacant, and the courtiers turned their eyes and began to move their minds, recommending them one after another. Your words and mine made the emperor's skull ache. They were asked to present them in a folded form, and then they withdrew from the court.

The courtiers couldn't do anything. They recommended the first place. Within an hour, the imperial study was filled with everyone's recommendation notes.

The emperor generally turned over, and everyone's recommendation was basically his own nepotism.

In contrast, Pu Youren recommended by Xiao Zimu is more suitable. His understanding of ancient Anhui alone is better than these candidates.

In addition, Xiao Zimu was recommended under his inquiry.

These people are spontaneous and selfish.

Many comparisons, Pu Youren is more in line with the emperor's wishes
