Chapter 1112 Investigation

Aunt Shang sent Man Bao out of the palace, and when she returned to the Lizheng Hall, the queen also asked her two daughters to be sent away.

She took a clan book again and read it while leaning on the couch.

Aunt Shang gently went to add water to her.

The queen looked away from the book and asked, "Did Dr. Zhou Xiao send it out?"

"Yes." Aunt Shang bowed in response, and reported it to her carefully.

The Empress nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "Chang Yu is not too young, His Majesty is planning to kiss her, but I always feel that this child's temper is very similar to that of a child, where can she marry?"

Aunt Shang smiled and said, "Girls grow up when they get married. Didn't the maiden marry His Majesty when she was thirteen years old?"

The queen shook her head slightly and said with a smile: "It's different. At that time, the world was in turmoil. Now that the country is peaceful and peaceful, we don't need children to do anything for the world. It's better to wait for them to grow up."

She said, "Don't people outside now say that they are going to marry after their children are married?"

She covered her mouth and coughed twice, took the sleep and took a sip, swallowed her cough, and said, "I used to worry that their marriage wouldn't be settled after I left, so I wanted to settle them early, but now I'm looking at Zhou Man. , I suddenly felt that it would be better to marry later, they are princesses and princes, and they will not be treated badly even if they suffer a great grievance in their marriage."

Aunt Shang lowered her head and dared not speak.

"It's better to let the children grow up and have their own skills than if I arrange them properly."

Aunt Shang said softly, "My lady is also a mother."

The queen smiled and lowered her head to drink water.

Aunt Shang smiled and changed to a safer topic, "My lady seems to like Dr. Zhou Xiao very much."

The queen nodded and sighed: "That is also a poor child. He lost his parents since he was a child. He has endured so much at a young age, but he still looks so cheerful and happy."

It was precisely because of seeing her that the queen suddenly felt that the child could actually live well without a mother.

Aunt Shang was the fourth person in the palace besides Gu Zhong who knew about Bai Shan and Zhou Man, so she lowered her head.

"By the way, you go to Gu Zhong and ask him to check on Zhou Man's husband. I have seen it vaguely at His Majesty's place, and it seems that his surname is Zhuang," the queen said with a smile, "Can you teach a disciple like Bai Shan Zhouman? The gentleman is definitely not far behind, even if he is unlucky, as long as he wants to go to work, he will not be able to go out all the time, let him go and find out what is going on."

Aunt Shang bowed her head.

At this time, after two days, the Duke of Yuxian finally asked someone to inquire about something, and his leader sat on a small stool beside the Duke of Yuxian and replied: "...Mianzhou people, after coming to the capital, it is very difficult to Go out less, and after going out a few times, I have made friends with Mr. Jiang and others, and I am a fellow villager and classmate with Tobu Langzhong Chen Fulin."

While peeling off the water chestnut, the Duke of Yu County said, "I asked you to check his past, why did you check everything about the present?"

His Chang Sui said angrily, "It happened more than 20 years ago, and he is not someone who has lived in the capital for a long time. Where can the villain go to check it for a while?"

Yu Xiangong was scolded, and he lowered his head and silently peeled the water chestnut to eat.

Chang Sui continued: "However, I found something. Zhuang Xun and Chen Fulin met at Mohui Garden on the Mid-Autumn Festival. The scene was not very good. Everyone said in private that they might have some grievances."

"On the day of Chongyang, they met again at Qinghua Mountain. Mr. Zhuang's two disciples were very caring teachers. Although they were polite to each other, everyone present felt that they were speaking with a knife in their mouths, and there was still a contradiction."

"Then have you found any contradiction between them?"

Chang Sui patted his thigh and said, "I didn't find out, but when the villain went to inquire about Chen Fulin, he heard a strange thing."

Changsui shook his head and read a poem and said with a smile, "Grandpa, do you remember the poem you read when you came back that day?"

The Duke of Yuxian lifted his eyelids and glanced at him, "Nonsense, can I not remember the poem I read? Are you trying to say that this poem was written by Chen Fulin?"

Chang Sui was stunned, "How does the old man know?"

The Duke of Yuxian sighed faintly and said, "Man, when you are old, your memory is not very good. I only vaguely remember that the person who wrote this poem made a scandal. It seems that it was because the poem was copied by someone else. But I can't remember who the other person is."

Chang Sui: "...Then why didn't you tell the villain when you asked the villain to check?"

The Duke of Yu County: "Forget it!"

Long Sui was so angry that his white beard flew up.

The Duke of Yu County asked, "What kind of official position did you say Chen Fulin was?"

Chang Suiben didn't want to pay attention to him, but he couldn't help but said, "Tobu Langzhong."

"What's wrong with Mr. Hubu?" Yu Shilang came in from the door, first bowed to his father, and then gave a half-salutation to the long entourage, and called, "Uncle Quan."

The long attendant immediately got up from the small stool and saluted Yu Shilang, "Meet the third master."

Yu Shilang quickly stretched out his hand to support him, and then asked, "What's wrong with Mr. Hubu?"

The Duke of Yuxian lifted his eyelids to look at him, and said quietly, "Chen Fulin, the boss of Hubu."

After waiting for a while, Yu Shilang saw that his father only said such a sentence, and said, "What happened to him? Father knows that he is going to be transferred to the Ministry of Industry?"

"Huh?" Yu Xiangong became slightly interested, "He is going to be transferred to the Ministry of Industry? What is he going to do? Is it the right servant?"

Yu Shilang smiled and said: "No, it is the left servant, and my son will be transferred to the right servant."

Although the left and right servants are both servants and the rank is the same, the right is the most respected, and the right servant will have more advantages when being promoted to the minister in the future.

The Duke of Yu County asked, "Why, he is the only candidate?"

"That's not true, it's just that he has the most seniority," Yu Shilang said: "He has worked in the top of the senior staff for nine years, and is currently the most senior in the six divisions. Our labor department has always been complicated, and he is a well-known good man. , so Lord Shang Shu chose him after some investigation."

The Duke of Yuxian snorted coldly, "Nowadays, the selection of officials is not based on talent, but on good people?"

Yu Shilang lowered his head and did not speak.

The Duke of Yuxian pointed at him and said, "Then what kind of person do you think he is?"

Yu Shilang smiled and said: "It's really a good man, but he also has talents. I asked him, and he did a lot of practical things when he was in the Ministry of Household, but it's a pity that several of the methods he mentioned are good. , that is, as soon as someone objected, he gave up."

The Duke of Yu Xian sighed and said, "You ministers value him for this? No wonder you should move to the right. Such a person should be placed in the position of the right servant. Do you still expect him to be a minister in the future?"

"This is everyone's temperament, why is my father so angry today?"

Mr. Zhuang's modesty and politeness flashed in Yuxian's mind. Without evidence, he would not arbitrarily believe in a certain person, but the two children, Bai Shan and Zhou Man, have good personalities and talents. Being at a disadvantage, Duke Yuxian couldn't help but think a little more.

After thinking about it, there is a focus.
