Chapter 400
Ming Yuan for his father
this night, the hall of diligent administration was full of lights. Mu Chaoyang and the officials of the Ministry of industry had been discussing the issues related to the flood in the south of the Yangtze River, and the officials of the Ministry of industry didn't leave until dawn.
Mu Chaoyang wanted to continue to read the book, but Gu Xiaoxiao said that he had just had a rest.
"The Qi imperial court is reliable in handling affairs, but the situation in the south of the Yangtze River is complicated. Since those people have the courage to pour dirty water on the governor, they may not dare to do something with the Qi imperial court. I'm afraid that this trip will not be very smooth."
"As for the moth in the court, I will find him out myself."
Mu Chaoyang groped for the finger on his thumb and narrowed his long and narrow eyes.
"This matter needs to be investigated carefully. The Ministry of work worked out a plan overnight. Today, the Ministry of accounts has also determined the money. Tomorrow, Qi imperial court will escort him to Jiangnan. Su Xiaojin's case is just for him to find out."
Gu Xiaoxiao nodded slightly and felt heavy.
"If it's like what she said, I'm afraid some people in the imperial court don't want peace in Jiangnan."
After hearing this, Mu Chaoyang's face turned a little darker, and his eyes turned a bit fierce.
Mu Chaoyang picks his eyebrows slightly and realizes the deep meaning of Gu Xiaoxiao's words. Gu Xiaoxiao sighs and tells Mu Chaoyang about Su rou.
"Yes, but I heard today that Su Xiaojin was a famous honest and upright official who was deeply loved by the people in the south of the Yangtze River. Why did the people and officials have different opinions?"
"Su Xiaojin was impeached for being corrupt, bending the law, and plundering the people's wealth. This old fool is rich in the south of the Yangtze River. If he does something private, he can't kill the people."
After Mu Chaoyang went down to court, he came to Gu Xiaoxiao's palace with a calm face. Gu Xiaoxiao frets in his heart and asks why.
After asking, Gu Xiaoxiao asks the palace people to take Su Rou down, and instructs Su Rou to live in the Palace first, so as not to be hurt.
Gu Xiaoxiao asks for more details. Su Rou tells Gu Xiaoxiao what she knows without reservation.
Su Rou breathed a sigh of relief, her face looked grateful, and her eyes were slightly red.
"You can rest assured that this matter will be discussed with the emperor. If what you said is true, Lord Su will not suffer in vain."
Gu Xiaoxiao heaved a sigh and lifted her up, relieved in a low voice.
Su Rou kowtows to Gu Xiaoxiao as soon as her voice falls.
Su Rou hesitated for a moment, and finally made up her mind to continue: "but someone in the court said that my father had embezzled the silver money sent by the court. Now my father is being held in prison, and her life and death are uncertain. The people's daughter is in a desperate situation. Please tell the empress clearly!"
"After my father handed the memorial to the emperor, he had been waiting for the imperial court to send money to build the dike. Unfortunately, there was no reply, which led to the flood in the south of the Yangtze River."
At the thought of this possibility, Gu Xiaoxiao's heart suddenly became uneasy. It was the time of internal and external troubles. If there were still people who were against Mu Chaoyang in the imperial court, who used their power to block the communication between the imperial court and the local government, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Deliberately stop Su Xiaojin's Memorial.
But according to Su Rou, Su Xiaojin did send a memorial. The people in the post house should be OK, so the problem lies in the court. Some people in the court feel a little uneasy. She is sure that Mu Chaoyang never received Su Xiaojin's memorial last month. If he received it, the flood in Jiangnan would not be so serious.
"You go on."
Su Rou was also stunned. She didn't seem to respond to what Gu Xiaoxiao was saying. She said, "but I saw my father hand over the memorial to the post house with my own eyes, and it was 600 Li urgent."
Gu Xiaoxiao interrupts Su Rou and looks serious.
"Wait a minute. Did you say Su Xiaojin gave me a fold last month? But the Emperor didn't receive it. "
Seeing that the levee is unstable, my father has submitted a memorial to the Emperor... "
"My father is honest and upright. He is a well-known honest official in Jiangnan. He is deeply loved by the people. He has been paying attention to the dike construction for the past five years, and Gu Xiaoxiao frowned last month. Su Xiaojin, as the governor of the south of the Yangtze River, should pay attention to the flood problem in the south of the Yangtze River. At this time, the flood was rampant, and Mu Chaoyang had not cured Su Xiaojin of dereliction of duty, but Su Rou came to complain, which was unreasonable.
"Do you want to avenge Su Xiaojin? What's wrong with him? "
It turns out that this woman is the legitimate daughter of Su Xiaojin, the governor of Jiangnan, and her name is Su rou. It was through Su Xiaojin's old relationship that she was able to enter the palace to meet Gu Xiaoxiao, and she was here to avenge Su Xiaojin.
The woman carefully looked at Gu Xiaoxiao and saw that Gu Xiaoxiao didn't have an angry look on his face. Then she told Gu Xiaoxiao the story.
"Tell me who you are and how you got into the palace."
When he got to the hall, Gu Xiaoxiao held back and left the woman alone.
And although she was flustered, she had the style of a lady from a big family. And she calls herself the daughter of the people. I'm afraid she's not from the palace. Gu Xiaoxiao thinks it's not appropriate to make a public announcement.
Gu Xiaoxiao motioned to the maid beside him to help the woman up and quickly walked into the hall. She saw that the woman's face was pretty, and her beauty was far higher than that of ordinary palace people.
The maid in waiting raised her head, her face full of tears. She kept kowtowing to Gu Xiaoxiao, and soon blood oozed from her forehead."Please also ask the empress to make the decision for the people's daughter!"
"Why are you so flustered?"
Gu Xiaoxiao can even hear her knee knocking on the ground.
At this time, a maid in waiting ran to Gu Xiaoxiao and knelt down.
Looking at Mu Chaoyang's straight back, Gu Xiaoxiao's heart is peaceful. However,
GU Xiaoxiao calls the palace people to wait on Mu Chaoyang Jingmian, and then watches Mu Chaoyang drink porridge before he goes to court.
He knew that Gu Xiaoxiao was amusing him. He didn't want him to worry too much about the state affairs, so he followed Gu Xiaoxiao's will and laughed softly.
Gu Xiaoxiao bent his mouth, clear eyes with a bit of playfulness.
"The so-called is to marry a chicken with a chicken and a dog with a dog, and I will recognize it."
"It's a good thing, but it's a burden for you to work with me like this." Mu Chaoyang shakes his head slightly and looks at Gu Xiaoxiao with more guilt and connection in his eyes.
Gu Xiaoxiao saw Mu Chaoyang wake up and helped him up. Looking at his light dark green, he could not help feeling a little distressed.
"There's still a little time to go before morning. Don't you want to have a rest?"
After two cups of tea, Mu Chaoyang wakes up.
Gu Xiaoxiao orders the palace people around him, and then starts to arrange the memorials for mu Chaoyang.
"Go to the imperial dining room to warm up the porridge. I haven't slept all night, and I have to eat something to warm my stomach."
Gu Xiaoxiao looks worried. She always felt that there was an unknown crisis hidden under the seemingly calm appearance of Jiangnan.
"If it wasn't for the affairs of the central government, I'd like to go to Jiangnan to see their skills, and also have a glimpse of the scenery of Jiangnan."
There is a pity in Mu Chaoyang's tone of voice, and there is a yearning color in his eyes. He really wants to break into the dragon's den in the south of the Yangtze River.
