Immediately, Li Ke wrote a memorabilia, rushing to play Chang'an. At this time tomorrow, the emperor will be able to see the melodrama.
After taking care of this, Li Ke and Qin Mubai were relaxed.
Both of them thought together in their hearts: Someone took the initiative to help us clean up the mess and solve the last bit of trouble, comfortable!
Then the two of them, as if nothing happened, symbolically sent people to the homes of the three deceased to express condolences and continue their daily work.
At noon on the third day, the emissary of the court finally arrived.
"This is coming down so fast!" Qin Mubai and Li Ke couldn't help laughing. Maybe, the emperor is also very anxious to clear things up here quickly, right?
It wasn't the ordinary eunuchs or small officials who came, but the living man near Li Shimin—Xi Suiliang.
Jinglang is an official who often follows the emperor and records his words and deeds with pen and paper. A bit like a historian, a bit like an admonisher, and sometimes the emperor’s personal secretary.
Chu Suiliang also has a lot of background. His father, Xu Liang, was one of the 18 bachelors in the mansion of King Qin Li Shimin in his early years, and he was also a member of his intellectual team. After Li Shimin ascended the throne, the old officials of the Qin Palace were basically all of them ascended to heaven, and they were trusted by the emperor. Xu Liang is now very old, and he is still serving as the head of the Hongwenguan, a confidential think tank, and recruiting wise men from the sky for the emperor.
Xi Suiliang is a rising star in the past two years. Yu Shinan was once the "secretary" next to Li Shimin, but he could only teach Li Zhi in the harem.
Li Shimin loves Yu Shinan's calligraphy, and he lacks his very habit of being around. Someone recommended Xu Suiliang to Li Shimin, saying that his calligraphy was the essence of Wang Xizhi. Li Shimin called him to the scene to test the pen, and found that he was not fake. He was immediately overjoyed and appointed Xu Suiliang as the living man. Beside him to help draft the imperial edict and record his words and deeds for record in historical books.
Therefore, although the official of Shenglang is not big, he is like a nail in the key part of a precision instrument, which is very important. Moreover, no one dared to underestimate this little living man, he accompanies the emperor almost every day, and he mostly knows how the emperor handles government affairs. It is no exaggeration to say that he is the emperor's confidant.
Li Shimin sent such a confidant to "declare the decree", which also surprised Qin Mubai and Li Ke.
With no time to think about it, Li Ke first let Xu Suiliang into the Wang’s account.
Xi Suiliang is about forty and slender, with a relatively gentle and delicate appearance, and a standard elegant scholar. Qin Mubai was familiar with him, so they were all people staying with the emperor, and they often met each other but didn't have a close friendship.
After Xi Suiliang came in, he immediately read out the emperor's imperial decree. Li Ke, Qin Mubai and officials and generals large and small in Jiangzhou took the order together.
The imperial decree was written in a relatively long way, and it actually means "deeply deplore" the Jishan flood and praised Li Ke, Qin Mubai, and especially Jiangzhou officials and generals for their hard work in disaster relief. And the reward is clearly given in the imperial edict. Li Ke restored the food town that was cut off due to excessive hunting. Qin Mubai admired the fields for five hectares and bestowed the rank six high-ranking "xiaoqiwei" officer (purely used to recognize the merits of military attache, and Qin Qiong's A meaning of second-grade Shangzhu country). Jiangzhou's upper and lower officials, except Cheng Songnian and Ma Kun, all have their own rewards. After the imperial decree was issued, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that the emperor was not going to investigate Jiangzhou case in depth, and adopted a "resting things and calming people" approach to tolerate these possible vassals. Zhang Tianci , Cheng Songnian and others.
Only Qin Mubai and Li Ke knew in their hearts that when the emperor did this, it was probably not a compromise to anyone. He tolerated it, but it did not mean that he was raising a traitor. At this moment and then, when Zhang Tianci and Cheng Songnian were in Jiangzhou to cover the sky, officials who did not vassalize them would "cannot get along". Now that the two of them have fallen, these officials were all frightened for fear of harming the pond fish, but now they have been rewarded by the emperor. Fortunately, where is there no gratitude to the emperor, who swears to the emperor?
There are two advantages to this. For one thing, the emperor has completely subdued the hearts of all Jiangzhou officials. Secondly, if a thorough investigation is carried out and most of the Jiangzhou officials are abolished, who can immediately replace him and patrol and administer the county on behalf of the sky? If that happens, it may be more headache than flooding. Therefore, Li Shimin is very likely to use a "slow strategy." Let these people calm down first. As for whether they will be asked after the fall, it is unclear.
The officials and generals received the awards and left happily, leaving only Li Ke, Qin Mubai and Xu Suiliang in the king's account.
"Mr. Yu must be exhausted from traveling all the way, why not rest? Xiao Wang asked to arrange a military tent for you. How about you stay in a hurry?" Li Ke said politely.
"His Royal Highness is too polite. The Weichen was ordered by the emperor to handle the errands, and he dare not speak and work hard." Xi Suiliang bent over and arched his hands in response, replied politely.
Li Ke nodded and smiled, and asked, "Xu Suiliang, as a close minister of the emperor, did the emperor ask you to give the little king a message when he left?"
"There is no verbal decree, but there is a secret decree." Xi Suiliang said sternly, "His Royal Highness, take the decree!"
"Weichen takes the order!"
Xi Suiliang took a note from his arms and handed it to Li Ke. Li Ke took it down, took a look after opening it, and suddenly looked surprised.
Qin Mubai and Xi Suiliang also became confused, but did not ask what was written in the secret decree. Since it is a secret decree, there is no reason to be asked by others.
"Mr. Yu, the emperor's father has ordered you to temporarily replace Jiangzhou's governor, and will immediately send an imperial commissioner to investigate the cause of death of Zhang Tianci and others." Li Ke said.
"Your Majesty arranged it like this?" Xu Suiliang was slightly surprised for a moment, and he immediately bowed his hand, "Weichen follow the order!"
"Qin Mubai, your majesty's secret decree is that you temporarily take the post of Captain Ma Kun Jiangzhou Prefecture Zhechong, and continue to lead these soldiers and horses to help the victims build dams. If there is any change, you can cut it first and play it later!" .
"Wei ministers lead the orders!" Qin Mubai clasped his fists and promised, thinking: The emperor's tricks are really endless!
"As for this king...I will leave for Chang'an immediately." Li Ke lightly wrinkled his brows, and said with a melancholy expression, "You must also bring Quan Wanji, who I held in prison..."
Like what Li Ke said, both Xu Suiliang and Qin Mubai understood--the emperor wanted to transfer Li Ke back, and hand over the cultural affairs to the newly sent confidant, the military affairs. Qin Mubai dealt with it temporarily, and Li Ke was not allowed to manage things here!
Because Li Ke and Quan Wanji had a big affair before, Qin Mubai had told the emperor secretly. Moreover, the emperor knew about Li Ke's concealment of Zhang Tianci's affairs. It seems that Li Ke is likely to be "fixed" by the emperor after returning to the court!
The ending set by Li Ke, Qin Mubai, and Quan Wanji very early, is finally about to appear. The Jiangzhou case was settled, and after Li Ke was rewarded in public, it was time to go back to the emperor to "lead the crime".
At the moment, Li Ke seemed a little worried, and after wandering for a few steps, he asked Xu Suiliang, "Mr. Xu, why did the father suddenly transfer me away at this moment?"
"Your Majesty's intention, Weichen doesn't know." Xi Suiliang shook his head, obviously not wanting to say more to Li Ke. If you can't even keep secrets, you won't be called a "secretary".
In fact, both Li Ke and Qin Mubai knew in their hearts that the reason why the emperor sent Xu Suiliang to take over Jiangzhou means that he must be aware of the causes and consequences of everything, and he must have taught the emperor. Holy will, come to do business. Otherwise, with the current sensitivity and tension of Jiangzhou, and with Li Shimin's caution, it would be impossible to send a confused person to take care of the funeral.
Li Ke deliberately asked Xu Suiliang this way to make the play more realistic, and he seemed to be hesitated and guilty.
"The king is like a mountain, I have to leave for Chang'an now!" Li Ke frowned, and said softly as if talking to himself, "I don't know, it is a blessing or a misfortune..."
Qin Mubai took the words and said: "His Royal Highness has been busy at night after he came to Jiangzhou to help the people, even if he has no function, he has to work hard. The emperor's heart is like a mirror. The rewards and punishments are always clear, and he must be Xuan. Later, you will be awarded a reward."
"I hope so!" Li Ke smiled bitterly. "Since the last time I was impeached, I feel a bit like a frightened bird. Not long ago, I impulsively detained Quan Wanji, but later I also regret doing this. Although Quan Wanji slapped me too much, his starting point was also for my own good, and he was my teacher after all. I really did not respect the teacher by doing this."
"Why do your Highness think so much, don't you know when you go to Chang'an?"
"Yes, too."
Qin Mubai and Li Ke asked and answered as if they were acting as double reeds. They had to make sure that the well-informed Xin Sui Lianggan stood aside and was embarrassed-tell the truth, reveal the holy meaning, then he must be You can't afford to be guilty; don't tell Li Ke without telling it, Li Ke will definitely hate him in the future!
What a dilemma!
"Cough..." Xi Suiliang coughed lightly to attract the attention of the two, and smiled, "His Royal Highness does not need to worry too much. Although you have done a little too much on the matter of imprisoning Wanji, you always In general, even after you arrived in Jiangzhou, you performed very well. The emperor praised you in front of his officials more than once!"
"Really? The king is relieved to return to Chang'an, haha!" Li Ke laughed heartily, winked secretly with Qin Mubai, and cursed in his heart: Chu Suiliang is also a fox , I have to hide something. Although he said a nonsense that seemed to be well-known and irrelevant, he secretly reminded Li Ke that there was "surprise but no danger".
This Xi Suiliang is also a wise man!
Although this drama is endlessly troublesome, but fortunately there is no big deviation in the ending, just like Li Ke, Qin Mubai and Quan Wanji had planned before!
