Chapter 289: Black and White Are Unclear

It is above the Golden Hall of the Richao Hall, where Zhou Huaizheng presents Kou Zhun's memorial brought from Chang'an.

Loudly said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Congratulations to Your Majesty, the slaves have found out that the Heavenly Book of Qianyou Mountain is absolutely true!"

Emperor: "Did you check with Mr. Kou?"

"The servant girl checked with Kou Lao, and there is a memorial written by Kou Lao himself as evidence."

All the officials on the left and right were stunned.

No one thought of this, even Ding Wei and Wang Qinruo, who had always been at odds with Kou Zhun, were greatly surprised.

The emperor was also surprised and delighted, and hurriedly asked: "Kou Zhun himself said that the Heavenly Book is true?"

"That's right, as soon as this servant arrived in Chang'an, he came to visit Mr. Kou. When Mr. Kou mentioned the heavenly book, he was very happy. He happily introduced the heavenly book of Qianyou Mountain to the slave girl, and said that it was a sign of the prosperity of my Song Dynasty and the benevolence of the officials. As a result, he prayed to the sky three times in a row, saying that he was praying for the officials."

The emperor was overjoyed when he heard this, and couldn't help laughing three times.

Wang Zeng, who was also a political adviser, sneered and said: "Eunuch Zhou, Mr. Kou has been upright all his life, how could he say such flattering words? You must have fabricated it out of thin air to slander Mr. Kou and deceive the sage!"

"Oh, Wang Canzheng, don't believe it, Mr. Kou still has a congratulatory form here!"

Speaking of presenting the congratulatory form, the emperor took it, unfolded it, and read:
"He Tian sent a treasure book to Qianyou Mountain Biao, and Kou Zhun, the governor of Shannan Dongdao, pays homage to him! Hahaha, Xiaoxian, this congratulatory watch is indeed written by Mr. Kou himself."

Wang Zeng still didn't believe it: "No, no, officials, this congratulatory form was definitely not written by Mr. Kou, it must have been copied by a villain."

"You still don't believe it?" The emperor turned cold, and threw the congratulatory form into Zhou Huaizheng's arms, "Bring the congratulatory form to Wang Canzheng, and let him take a good look to see if it was written by Mr. Kou himself."

Zhou Huaizheng graciously brought the congratulatory form in front of Wang Zeng, and proudly said, "Wang Shenzheng, you can see for yourself."

Poor Wang Zeng looked at the congratulatory form and felt that the sky was falling.

He is a student of Kou Zhun, who was once picked up by Kou Zhun, and he is very familiar with Kou Zhun's handwriting, and on this congratulatory form, every word and every sentence is written by Kou Zhun himself. Stiff and unable to speak.

The emperor said: "Xiaoxian, Mr. Kou has always been upright, well known in the government and the public, and is your mentor. He has always been respected by you. Now even he has confirmed that the Tianshu of Qianyou Mountain is true. What else do you have to say? Don't be stubborn anymore. Now, hurry up and draw up an imperial edict for me to announce to the world the good news of the discovery of the Heavenly Book in Qianyou Mountain."

Wang Zeng recovered from the shock, and immediately knelt down on the ground with tears streaming down his face: "Your Majesty, even if the ax and ax are pressing your neck, I don't want to draw up this edict!"

"Xiaoxian, you!" The emperor was so angry that he played his sleeves, "Why are you as stubborn as Kou Zhun back then!"

"Officials, I would like to draw up this edict!" Ding Wei, who had been silent and watching coldly, went out and knelt down, "Although I am not talented, I would like to draw up this edict!"

The emperor nodded with satisfaction: "Weizhi is still obedient. Well then, Weizhi, I will leave this matter to you, and you can prepare an imperial edict."

Then he looked at Wang Zeng, who was full of grief, as if the sky had fallen, and asked angrily, "Mr. Xiao, why do you always have trouble with me?"

"Since ancient times, Mingjun is good at accepting advice, calling it Ming, courtiers who dare to advise, calling it straight, ministers only know how to speak out and give advice, and don't know anything else. But you, the official, listen to half believe, can you be Mingjun?"

"You!" the emperor said angrily, "Well, Wang Xiaoxian, since you don't want to serve me around, go out of Zhiying Tianfu! Hmph!"

After saying that, he left with a flick of his sleeves, and the courtiers gradually left the hall under the leadership of Ding Wei.

Wang Zeng walked down the street in despair, raised his head and lamented: "God, why did Mr. Kou change, why did he change?"

Some are happy and some are sad.

Not far away in Ding's mansion, Wang Qinruo came to visit Ding Wei, and the two sat down and had a drink, talking happily.

Wang Qinruo said: "Unexpectedly, Kou Zhun's old Guizhou donkey would not hesitate to pay for his position in order to re-invite him to be favored, and he was uncharacteristically uttering flattery. Now that the government has ordered him to return to Beijing to be a prime minister, my lord, you can only stay here temporarily. It's a political job, eh."

"Hahaha." Ding Wei laughed loudly, "It's nothing to be afraid of, nothing to be afraid of! In the past, he was so straight and full of anger, I was a little afraid of him, but now, he has softened and It's the Tiger with a Broken Back, I'm afraid of where he will come from! Hahaha!"

"What Wei Zhi said is very true." Wang Qinruo filled Ding Wei with wine, and complimented him, "It's just that this aspect should be so-called. Now, we have to wait and see what tricks Kou Zhun has!"

"That's exactly what I said, besides you and I joined forces, Wang Zeng was demoted to Yingtian Mansion by the officials, even if Kou Zhun came, there was no one under his command, and his eyes were darkened. , it’s not up to you and me to decide.”

"Hahahahaha, high, high! In other words, come, come, let me toast you."

"Dry."

After drinking for three rounds, Wang Qinruo said again: "By the way, this time the official family ordered you to be the chief examiner of Chunwei, and those who have achieved fame this time will be respectfully called you as a mentor. For the sake of the far-reaching overall situation, why not start now?" Looking for something to make?"

"Brother Dingguo, I have already made preparations." Ding Wei laughed, drank the wine in his glass, and said, "A few days ago, I looked at the list of references for this time and found a man named Gu Shenzhi. , it is said that he was No. 1 in the autumn of last year, and he is expected to be a good talent."

"Gu Shenzhi?"

"Well, why, Brother Dingguo knows this person?"

"Hey, so to speak, this person is the Jiangnan Gu family I told you about, the son of Gu Yanhe, that Gu Yi Gu Sanlang who always likes to stay with unjust, false and wrongly convicted, moldy corpses."

"Oh, it's him." Ding Wei suddenly realized, "No wonder, I said why this name is so familiar. I heard that in the case of the headless corpse in Fanlou last year, it took him less than three days to find out the real culprit. Do you have the ability to mold bones with yellow clay?"

"Hey! This young man is very talented, it's just that he once had an affair with me, I'm afraid he won't listen to it."

"That's not a problem." Ding Wei said with a hearty smile, "Young people, and young people with some abilities, are always more arrogant in dealing with others. If he can be used by me, I will tolerate his young people. It's not difficult to have the arrogance and petty temper that people have."

"Hahahaha, to put it bluntly, you are really thirsty for talents. If the officials know that you have worked so hard for the Song court, they will definitely be happy—"

"Hahahaha, come, come, let's pay respects to Brother Dingguo." Ding Wei said, "By the way, I heard that Du Hao's grandson has returned and participated in last year's Qiu Wei, and is now on the list of Chun Wei. "

"I don't know what you mean, but this son and this Gu Yi are good friends. They came to Beijing from the south of the Yangtze River together to thoroughly investigate the case of the fire in Du's residence two years ago." Wang Qinruo sneered, "The fire did not kill the two members of the Du family. It's a pity that my two sons were burned to death together."

"Oh? Thoroughly investigate the case of the Du Mansion?" Ding Wei asked thoughtfully, in a low voice, "I remember that Zhang Tianwen's case was closed at that time, and the case of the Du Mansion was a natural disaster, not a man-made disaster."

Wang Qinruo took over the conversation clearly: "Exactly. No matter how you investigate the matter of natural disasters, it can only be natural disasters."

"Didn't you say that Gu Yi is a rare expert in solving crimes? With him around, there are things that cannot be found out?"

"Two years have passed since the incident in Du's mansion. At that time, it was still concluded in black and white that it was a natural disaster. Even if Gu Yi could turn the world around, he couldn't find anything else."

Wang Qinruo smiled but wasn't smiling.

"Besides, the only person who took over the case, that is, Zhang Tianwen, has long since submitted his resignation and gone home for the elderly, and now the person who knows that there is something hidden about this matter has long since disappeared in this world."

Hearing this, Ding Wei laughed loudly, took up the wine cup and filled Wang Qinruo with wine: "Brother Dingguo, I don't worry about your work!"

　I found out that Wang Qinruo, whose name is Dingguo, would die laughing.
