mountain and river drinker

Chapter 22

Walking over, seeing Cheng Shu here, he greeted the two of them first, and Qin Ronggu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw him.

Zhou Hanzhi looked at Cheng Shu humbly after finishing his work. Cheng Shu was over 50 years old, clean and thin, with sharp eyes, and his middle clothes were more snowy than snow, and he wore a simple and refreshing round neck with silver reed and gray bottom and sea waves and waves pattern. On the jade belt, there is only a waxy white tape and an ivory ring, the silver crown is plain, and silver threads have been mixed in the bundled black hair.

Cheng Shu naturally also looked at Zhou Hanzhi, she also committed the problem of judging people by their appearance.Just looking at Zhou Hanzhi's face, I forgot that Zhou Hanzhi is also a talented and meritorious courtier. After leaving the capital for five years, he came back to work in a legitimate way. It must not be for nothing. Thinking about Qin Ronggu, he is not just looking at his appearance people.After looking carefully, she felt that Zhou Hanzhi was gentle and moderate, and she was upright and innocent. She smiled at Zhou Hanzhi apologetically, and left without making things difficult.

"It seems that Cheng Suzheng is very satisfied with Hanzhi." Qin Ronggu knew that Cheng Shu would wait to see Zhou Hanzhi, and he was happy to see this scene, "Where did Hanzhi go? Teach me how to find it. If you don't come back, I'll kill you." I'm going to chat with Qin Tanshu in the prison." He slightly pulled off Zhou Hanzhi's collar as he spoke, and frowned when he saw the blood on Zhou Hanzhi's neck.

"I ran into Zhou Shangshu on the way back. I wasted time, and I forgot to ask Xincha to report a letter while chatting. It was my fault." Zhou Hanzhi kept the matter of meeting the old man a secret, and confessed to Qin Ronggu honestly. wrong.

Qin Ronggu didn't ask him to admit his mistake, but he was just worried about him. After hearing what he said, he thought about it, and finally raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhou Hanzhi, "But I met Zhou Shangshu, and he went to drink tea with Feng Shangshu You don’t like drinking tea, but you’re with the two old men? Besides, although I don’t know which clothes Hanzhi is wearing in the morning, I’m curious about the condition on your neck, huh?”

"Drinking tea is of course... no," Zhou Hanzhi chuckled, "I can't hide it from Rong Gu, I just met an interesting thing."

"I don't think it's funny," Qin Ronggu said, gently touching the bloodstain on his neck, "You've only been back for a month, but you've been wounded all day long, so I don't worry about it. It's... cut out by a dagger "Han Zhi, you can tell me something."

"Rong Gu, I still have a status as a monarch and a minister between you and me. I am not afraid of you, but I must not overstep my duty. Gossip can attack people's bone marrow. I don't want to say anything casually, whether it is intentional or unintentional, slander or praise , you're going to be affected." Zhou Hanzhi and Qin Ronggu walked side by side into the garden, "Besides this injury, if I don't take good care of myself, how can I talk about loving others? Don't worry, I won't and don't want to Self-inflicted suicide, let alone a chance to be bullied in vain."

"Since you are afraid that what you say will make me overwhelmed, I won't ask you. If you have the opportunity, just say it. Five years apart from Han Zhi, it's not a loss." Qin Rong smiled, "Unrequited love The person is Zhou Hanzhi, don't say five years, you have to wait for a lifetime."

"Oh? How did I hear that the emperor only loves the beauty surnamed Shen who can dance the white dance? She raises her eyebrows and turns her sleeves like a snowfly. She is the hope of the independent world. How can I match it... Thinking about it this way, I am jealous."

"Hahahahaha nothing, don't listen to their nonsense." Qin Ronggu unexpectedly turned and kissed Zhou Hanzhi's side face, "Zhaoyu likes her, and asked Fuyan to write a love poem for him. It's all right Shi ran out of the palace all day to see, or there would be another Jian Yin by my side."

"Zhaoyu has a good eye." Zhou Hanzhi suddenly turned around and smiled at Zhaoyu. Qin Ronggu stood aside and looked at Zhaoyu's embarrassment cheerfully.

Zhao Yu was so ashamed that her neck was red, he hesitated and couldn't say anything to refute, she folded a hibiscus flower and handed it over with her face twisted, "Mr. Ask again, I'm... ashamed."

Zhou Hanzhi licked the flowers and pursed her lips to stop smiling, but the corners of her eyes were slightly bent, "What's the matter, I'll tell you a secret."

"What?" After hearing this, Zhao Yu poked over curiously, wanting to know the secret very much.

"I like Qin Ronggu, I wish everyone would know this secret, hahahahaha." Zhou Hanzhi couldn't help laughing again seeing the disgust on Zhao Yu's face.

"I never said it properly. It's not a secret. Everyone knows that I like Hanzhi." Qin Ronggu said this in a serious manner. After speaking, he looked into Zhou Hanzhi's eyes, as if he saw something From the bottom of Zhou Hanzhi's heart, "Hanzhi and I must be written on a page of history books. Only in this way, when later generations talk about Qin Min, will Zhou Hanzhi accompany him, so that we will not be lonely."

Xizhou Order

A light promise will lead to a lack of faith, Qin Rong rarely makes any promises.

After hearing this, Zhou Hanzhi looked at him quietly, took a deep breath and smiled with the corners of her lips curled up, "I have no regrets about what the emperor said."

"You should call me Rong Gu. This is just a sentence I said to Zhou Hanzhi, not Bibu Langzhong." Qin Ronggu suddenly took a step and grabbed Zhou Hanzhi's sleeve, "So, should Hanzhi give it to you?" What should I reward?" After speaking, he closed his eyes, his eyelashes curled, and there was an unconcealable smile between his brows and eyes.

Zhou Hanzhi kissed Qin Ronggu's chin, and Qin Ronggu opened his eyes dissatisfied.Zhou Hanzhi turned away from this matter, pondered for a long time and said: "Rong Gu, count me as overstepping, I'll ask you something."

"What's the matter? If I can tell you, it doesn't count as your breach of duty." Qin Ronggu stared at him, waiting for him to say something.

"Suzhengtai monitors the court and the states, what do you think?"

"National government is like a dark cloud, and the establishment of Suzhengtai seems to be suddenly thundered. Emperor Li was tyrannical, and in the first year of Fengrui, there were turmoil in the five states. Emperor Wen set up Suzhengtai, governing the procuratorate, and expelling hundreds of officials and subordinates from other countries. I I'm also afraid that one day Suzheng Yin will catch my fault and impeach me, and ask me to write an edict of guilt that will be passed down forever... My imperial grandmother wrote an edict of guilt because of the Jinxian case. There is no need to say too much about the benefits of the sycophant Fuduo, since it was established, it is obvious to all. If you tell the truth..." Qin Ronggu whispered in Zhou Hanzhi's ear, "I have become emperor, but I have become more and more alienated from Cheng Suzheng. The last sentence is true. I can only tell you quietly, did Hanzhi feel something? So I showed it so clearly?"

"Rong Gu, if you believe me, please remove me from the position of Bibu doctor." Zhou Hanzhi said seriously, "You only act secretly, but you still have concerns. Suzhengtai is in charge of supervision, but who will supervise Suzhengtai? I have a manpower for one month, and I will help you. Emperor Kang made a clear discussion, you are very smart, and you use the awesomeness of people's words, but this is not enough."

Qin Rong sighed shortly, "I didn't expect Hanzhi to remove the weight of weight on my heart. If you have a way, you might as well tell it."

"Today I met Ren Dubai, a 21-year Tanhualang of Hezheng, and I have gone to the Ministry of Rites to check the scientific examination books. Ren Dubai is really wronged. He only needs to go to Xizhou for a research. There is a lot of talk in the Qing Dynasty, how can you be afraid of heavy resistance from the court? So far, you have not realized that Rong Gu Jianzuo is at fault, and Suzhengtai cannot fail to impeach you."

"Hanzhi, you're thinking too simply—" Qin Ronggu smiled wryly and shook his head, "When I touch the Suzhengtai, I'm scraping the flesh and blood of many people, not to mention many of the ministers are the bones of the country. Even if it's justified , they would not be so happy to let me fish. Hanzhi, I don't want you to be the target of public criticism for doing this yourself. This matter has been chosen for Duan Xinong. But if you want to try it, I will I will help you, and I will protect you. After all, it is my Hanzhi who wants to help me, right? Just let me listen to what the audience thinks, and I have the right to ask for directions."

Zhou Hanzhi smiled and said: "This is an excellent opportunity. After 37 years, the scenery is no longer white. Ren Dubai was a young man who was full of vigor and high spirits. When he returned to Xizhou gloriously, he never thought that he would become what he is today. He forbears For more than [-] years, I risked my life and stole the private accounting books of several adults in the Procuratorate from Xizhou. The accounts are shocking to look at. The private books are already in the camphorwood bookcase in Qingyin Hall. Check it out It’s just a state, it’s not a trivial matter, Cheng Suzheng is dereliction of duty.”

"Oh?" Qin Ronggu put away his serious expression, and patted the tortoiseshell gold-sprinkled folding fan in his hand, "No wonder you said that you met something interesting today, is it because God helped me? I was right, Hanzhi It really is a good assistant from heaven, Yi praises me." He lowered his head and kissed Zhou Hanzhi behind the ear, like a superficial touch, "I will not set up defenses against Hanzhi, you and I will not leave the palace this afternoon. I will call Duan Xinong and the others, You go too, it's time to take stock and settle accounts."

Zhou Hanzhi was only fortunate that it was him that Ren Dubai met, and he also happened to meet Ren Dubai, and the two could be said to be mutually beneficial.If Ren Dubai met someone else, such as Cheng Gao, Cheng Gao would give him justice, but he would also suppress everything and not reveal any news.

This incident is a start.

In the second year of Changzuo, Meng Xia was dark and rainy.The clouds and air were in harmony, and the day was dark and dark. Ren Dubai knelt in front of the Suzheng platform to redress his grievances in the rain, and Zhou Hanzhi held an umbrella for him.

Zhou Hanzhi stood upright in the heavy rain with one hand behind his back and an umbrella in the other. His clothes were wet and stuck to his body, and a group of students petitioned beside him.

Tan Zhengshu came out without saying a word and helped Ren Dubai up, while Cheng Shu was also standing in the rain in misty clothes, still not knowing what to do with each other.

"Has your lord seen Shao Wu?" Zhou Hanzhi asked her with a smile.

Cheng Shu's expression was stern, his eyes calm, "Not yet."

"In the past, the world was bright and smooth, and dancing and singing were meritorious. Thinking about it this way, it's time to hear Shaowu again, enlighten the government, and get rid of faint officials. A certain member of the Xizhou Procuratorate thought that the dead bones could be slandered. After 25 years, I came to discuss It’s more fair and correct.”
