Kowloon wins

Chapter 42

Mingzhu's work efficiency is really terribly high. In just three days, the sensational Suo'etu case has been successfully concluded. The result is naturally not unexpected, and Suo'etu will bear all the responsibilities , all the evidence has nothing to do with the crown prince, the emperor was angry after reading the playbook, and issued a decree, listing the ten major crimes of enforcing the figure. The Ussuri Taiwan Army served in the past, and the Suo Party, which was once prominent, ceased to exist.

If there is punishment, there will naturally be rewards. Just as the officials were still lamenting the heavy punishment of the Suo'etu Party, the rewards came one after another. The rewards are uncertain, but the most eye-catching ones are not the father and son of Chengjun Prince who have already received the reward, nor the nine-door admiral Fu Qing who has worked hard to confer the second-class earl, but the two rising stars of the court ——Firstly, Shaoqing of Taichang Temple was promoted to the Minister of the Household Department due to his meritorious service, and then there was Zhang Tingyu, the son of the great scholar Zhang Ying, who was promoted from the Imperial Academy of the seventh rank to the fifth rank in one fell swoop.

Both Ma and Zhang have been promoted to four ranks in a row, and both belong to the super-superior. In fact, although it is amazing, it makes sense, but Zhang Tingyu's superiority makes the courtiers a little confused. No one can tell why that dull gourd-like person suddenly became very useful, and he can only be promoted to the fourth level. What is even more astonishing is that he actually became a senior official. You must know that this is a position that is close to the sky every day. Although the official is not high, it is the best ladder for promotion. Of!No, after the edict, the capital was shocked, and rumors of various versions spread all over the city.

The rumors spread wildly, not to mention the uproar in the official circles, and the folks also had different opinions, even the Chengjun Prince's Mansion, which won the biggest prize this time, was also discussing this matter a lot, but Hong Qing didn't take it seriously, no It's because he is too aware of how extravagant these two people are, and Hong Qing doesn't think there is anything strange about the two people's rapid rise, so he won't go with the crowd and talk about it every day. What should I do here or what should I do, go to school, go to the workshop, the small life is quite comfortable, but God is obviously not very happy to let Hong Qing be so comfortable, no, troubles come unexpectedly Arrived.

"Ok?"

Outside the Chengjun Prince's Mansion, Hong Qing, who had just returned from the workshop, got out of the carriage, and before he could straighten his waist, he saw Mo Yu hastily greeted him. Although his face was full of smiles, there was clearly With a strange aura, Hong Qing's heart trembled for no reason when seeing this, the good mood that was originally excited about the upcoming trial production of the workshop was ruined in an instant, and she couldn't help but lighten up. He let out a sound, full of displeasure inside.

"My lord, my lord wants you to go to the inner study as soon as you return to the mansion."

Seeing that Hong Qing's expression was not right, Mo Yu didn't dare to be careless, she hurriedly suppressed her smile, bowed, and hurriedly reported the matter.

"Oh?"

When she heard that her father had invited her, Hong Qing couldn't help being stunned. You must know that Suo'etu's downfall has involved a lot of officials, not only the central government has a lot of vacancies, but also many local officials have lost their positions. At least, in the past few days, all the elder brothers have been working hard in the court, in order to make more money. The third master is no exception, he is busy every day. He didn't return until dark, and now it's just after the end of the day, and the third master actually returned to the mansion, there is obviously something strange about it.

"Little prince, old master Chen is here, and he said he is waiting to see you."

Mo Yu didn't make Hong Qing think too much, and hurriedly explained, but the gloating color could not be concealed from the smile on his face.

Um?Is this old clapper really here?faint!
Hong Qing didn't have much impression of Chen Menglei at first, but since the last time they met, Hong Qing has paid attention to it. She has already inquired about Chen Menglei's background in private, and knows that this old man is not an ordinary person—Chen Menglei's life can be said to be destiny It's a lot of troubles, there is no talent and name, but the ambition is hard to develop, not only that, but also the family is ruined, and the old age is miserable——Chen Menglei, style name Zezhen, name Shengzhai, name Tiandaoren, Min County (now Fuzhou City) ) was born in the seventh year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty. He is intelligent and talented. Unfortunately, his good luck ran out in the 12th year of Kangxi. That year, Chen Menglei returned to his hometown to visit his relatives.In March of the following year, Jingnan Wang Geng Jingzhong raised troops against the Qing Dynasty in Fuzhou.He recruited famous scholars all over Fujian, forcibly conferred official positions, and coerced scholars to rebel against each other.

Chen Menglei, as the official of the court, refused to rebel against the bandits, so he fled to the monastery to try to escape the incident, but because his father was arrested, he had to enter the shogunate of Geng Jingzhong, but he still refused to accept the seal on the pretext of illness.At that time, Li Guangdi from Anxi, who was a Jinshi in the same year as Chen Menglei and an official editor, was also forced to come to Fuzhou, and immediately asked for leave to go home because of his "father's illness".According to Chen Menglei, the two made a secret agreement in Fuzhou: Chen Menglei would "separate the rebellious party and listen to the news" from it; sparse draft.

At that time, Chen and Li were the two heroes of Fujian's literary world. One sentence mentioned Chen Menglei's merits, but he repeatedly wrote letters saying that Chen Menglei was a thief. Shu Fengtian (now Liaoning Province) Shangyang Fort, until the 37th year of Kangxi, he was appreciated by the old man Kangxi for composing poems by order, so he was pardoned and returned to Beijing. He was ordered to serve King Chengjun to study. At the time, all his family members had died due to miscarriage. There were dozens of members in the family, and only Chen Menglei was alone. This is the origin of the famous "Chen and Li Gong Case" in the Kangxi Dynasty.

In terms of Chen Menglei's literary attainments, being Hong Qing's master is indeed more than enough. The problem is that Hong Qing thinks she has a lot of secrets in her body, and she really doesn't want to have such a master in charge of her. When he came, he immediately guessed the purpose of his visit. Obviously, he did not come to pay a courtesy visit, but he really resigned and came to the mansion, and his heart was immediately agitated.

"My lord, my lord is still waiting, look..."

Seeing that Hong Qing had been stunned for a long while without any response, the gloating smile on Mo Yu's face suddenly became stronger, but she didn't dare to forget the business, so she reminded her lightly from the side.

What to do?Cold salad, people are coming, if you don’t go to see me, it’s absolutely impossible, let alone the third master has confessed, if Hong Qing dares not to go, it’s definitely worth it when you turn around, For the sake of the safety of my little butt, I have to go to the inner study anyway. As for whether to worship the teacher or not, let's wait and see, the living people can't be suffocated to death by urine. Thinking of this, Hong Qing I didn't bother to think about it any more, I just gave Mo Yu a cold look, entered the house without saying a word, and walked slowly to the study in the inner courtyard.

Hey, what's going on?

Although Hong Qing didn't walk fast, but the palace is so big, she walked from the gate to the study in the inner courtyard in less than a stick of incense, and just turned around the screen at the door of the study, and immediately saw that there were three people in the room Besides Master and Chen Menglei, Li Minquan was also there, but this bastard was blushing, obviously 12 uncomfortable. Seeing Hong Qing's arrival, his already blushing face suddenly became a little redder, his eyes dodged and he dared not talk to him. Hong Qing looked at each other, just like a weasel who was caught stealing a chicken and was as embarrassed as he was. Seeing this, Hong Qing couldn't help but whisper in his heart.

"The child has met the father, the master, and Mr. Li."

Even though she was surprised by Li Minquan's abnormality, but when she said it, it was obviously not the time to delve into it, Hong Qing didn't dare to neglect, she hurriedly walked a few steps, rushed to the front, and met the three people in the seat in a polite manner present.

"Well, it's free."

Facing Hong Qing's salute, the three people in the seat reacted differently. Li Minquan bowed his lower body a little flusteredly to show his return, while Chen Menglei remained motionless, without even nodding his head, just calmly Sheng received Hong Qing's courtesy, as for the third master, he yelled with a smile on his face, but the embarrassment in the smile couldn't be concealed no matter what.

Hey, the closed disciple accepted by his master is actually his own son. I don't know how to calculate it in this generation. I think it's really embarrassing for my father at this time.

Hong Qing knew her father's face-conscious personality very well, so she couldn't help but secretly smiled, but she didn't dare to show it on her face, but put on a respectful look and thanked him politely. After a sound, he stood up straight, stood with his hands down, and put on an obedient posture of listening to instructions.

"Well, Qing'er came just in time. The master has something to discuss with you. Just listen carefully. If you violate it, be careful of your skin."

The third master is the third master after all, the embarrassment is only fleeting, and soon he has recovered his calm, he glanced at Hong Qing calmly, and ordered in a calm tone.

Have something to discuss?Are you right?

Hearing what her father said, Hong Qing couldn't help being taken aback, she couldn't figure out which play Chen Menglei was singing, but since her father ordered, Hong Qing didn't dare to openly disobey, so she could only He suppressed the doubts in his heart, and humbly agreed.

"Master, the dog has arrived, please give me instructions, the student will leave."

I don't know how the third master made the agreement with Chen Menglei. As soon as Hong Qing's words fell, he got up, bowed his hands respectfully to Chen Menglei, and after explaining the scene, he led Li Minquan out of the study. Waiting in a hurry, it is obvious that there is a suspicion of fleeing...
