After my rebirth, I married my ex-husband and his uncle

Chapter 48
Qin Shuo picked up the tea bowl at hand, skimmed off the tea foam, took a sip, and said, "Master Zhang, don't you know what kind of person you are?"

Zhang Shangshu wondered, what kind of person is he?He is someone who wants to retire.

Qin Shuo glanced at him, and directly pointed it out: "You are someone who wants to return to your hometown for retirement." Qin Shuo paused, and then continued; "Because you want to retire safely, so you like to be kind when you do things, and you are negative when things happen. , I don’t want to offend people in the last two years.”

Zhang Shangshu twitched the corner of his mouth: ...It doesn't need to be so obvious.

"Master Zhang, do you think His Majesty doesn't know about your way of being an official?" Qin Shuo affirmed, "Your Majesty can see it clearly when sitting in the Golden Luan Hall. Master Zhang has worked hard for my Great Xia all his life, His Majesty will naturally understand grown ups."

"Since His Majesty can understand me, why should I share this troubled water?"

"Because you know how to make love with each other!" Qin Shuo said directly, stroking his forehead, somewhat puzzled how Zhang Yi got the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Master Zhang:? ? ?

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Shangshu's head seemed to be hit by a meteorite, and he was enlightened: "You mean... Your Majesty wants me to be confused? Has it turned into a trivial matter?"

"Then what are you going to do with the joint trial of the three divisions? Isn't it over if Mr. Yin Qi of Jingzhao Mansion is in charge?"

"People are killed, Jingzhao Mansion can't control it." Qin Shuo said expressionlessly.

"Then give it to the Ministry of Punishment."

"Who is the Ministry of Punishment?" Qin Shuo reminded.

Zhang Shangshu choked, raised his finger to point to the sky, and said in a low voice: "What does Hou Ye mean... the queen mother intervened in this matter?"

Yuanzhi, Shangshu of the Ministry of punishment, is a member of the queen mother's party.

Qin Shuo took another sip of tea, nodded and said, "Well, what do you think? At this time, the late Prince Renhuai is involved, and the Empress Dowager must pay attention to it. If the case is in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, it will definitely be dealt with seriously."

"But this time, the rebellious party is making trouble in the name of Prince Renhuai. Since His Majesty doesn't like Prince Renhuai, why don't you push the boat forward and make things bigger, so that you can suppress Prince Renhuai's prestige among the people? "

"Compared with suppressing Prince Renhuai, getting this matter over as soon as possible is the most important thing right now."

Zhang Shangshu was puzzled: "Why?"

At this moment, Qin Fenghua, who had been silent by the side, said, "Because there have been many natural disasters in the past two years. First, there was a severe drought in Guanzhong, starvation and death everywhere, and then the southeast invaders became more and more serious, and last year the Yellow River burst its embankment. Millions of people were affected, and the imperial court had to rebuild the dams of the Yellow River," Qin Fenghua paused, then suddenly looked up at Qin Shuo and Zhang Shangshu, and affirmed, "The treasury is out of money!"

Qin Shuo glanced at Qin Fenghua appreciatively, and nodded in agreement.

Now Zhang Shangshu finally came to his senses: "You mean, Your Majesty is worried... that the common people will revolt?"

Qin Shuo was very pleased, nodded, and sighed: This wooden fish's brain has finally opened up.

Zhang Shangshu got Qin Shuo's affirmative answer, and his heart tightened, then it made sense in this way.

It is different from Haiyan Heqing, who was a faction under the rule of Prince Renhuai 20 years ago.During the Yongjia period, there were constant natural disasters, heavy levies and miscellaneous taxes, and local people complained a lot.

The current big summer is like a powder keg, which explodes at a touch.If this incident is not handled properly, it will immediately become a fuse, spread out, and then it will burn throughout the entire Great Xia like a spark, and the flames of war will reignite on the mainland of China.

No wonder His Majesty asked him, an old man in the officialdom, to try this case. Isn't it his skill to turn a big matter into a small one!
Mr. Zhang figured out the key point, stopped drinking tea, and immediately took his leave and left. His hurried steps seemed to be afraid that Qin Shuo would pull him to another game of chess.

Qin Shuo watched him leave in a hurry, clicked his tongue lightly, turned his head and said, "Daughter, I'll play next match with Dad, okay?"

Qin Fenghua: Hehe, thank you, Bumin.

In order to make his old father lose his heart, Qin Fenghua changed the subject and said, "Father, I still can't figure this out."

"What?" Qin Shuo asked casually.

"Those people from yesterday... don't seem to be a group of people."

"Huh?" Qin Shuo looked at Qin Fenghua suspiciously.

"Although they all pretended to be ordinary traders, according to my observations, the martial arts of those who assassinated Rongjing were significantly higher than those who attacked the common people," Qin Fenghua said while recalling the scene at that time, and came to a conclusion , "I don't think they look like rebels, but rather like professional assassins raised by aristocratic families."

"Are you sure?" Qin Shuo asked.

Qin Fenghua nodded to confirm, Qin Fenghua was by Rongjing's side last night, and he saw it for real from a close distance.

After hearing this, Qin Shuo lowered his head and pondered: Who wants Rong Jing's life?Chang family?

"Father, what do you think of this matter?" Qin Fenghua asked, this matter has been lingering in her mind all night, "Who wants to put the Rong Palace to death?"

King Rong only had Rong Jing as his legitimate son, and the Great Xia Dynasty stipulated that concubine sons could not inherit the title. Although this move was extremely risky, it could not be said that it was not insidious, and it hit the vital point directly.As soon as Rong Jing died, the Rongwang Mansion would immediately lose its legal heir, and since Rong Wang was already old, it was unlikely that he would have another son, and the Rongwang Mansion had no successors, so it was bound to collapse from then on.

Faced with Qin Fenghua's question, Qin Shuo shook his head and said, "It's hard to say."

Smart as Qin Fenghua, combined with the current court situation, she immediately reacted, she whispered: "Daddy said..." Qin Fenghua stretched out a finger, pointed to the sky, and said, "Who is it?"

Qin Shuo nodded slightly, and said concisely, "Maybe."

Qin Shuo thought to himself, when His Majesty allowed Zhenbei Hou Qin's family to marry Rong Wang's mansion, it might be because he had the mentality of wooing Rong Wang, but now it seems that Rong Wang is not easy to win, and His Majesty seems to want to give up Rong Wang.

After Qin Fenghua heard this, she remained silent. She knew that her father had always had a keen sense of politics, so if she could tell the answer "maybe" from her father, it must be almost inseparable.

Qin Shuo looked at the daughter in front of him, sighed, stroked her hair and said, "Your marriage with Rongjing may change, Fenghua, you have to be mentally prepared."

Qin Fenghua thought about it all night last night. Although she had already prepared for the worst in her heart, when she really faced the reality, her heart still couldn't help but sink to the bottom. She couldn't suppress the sadness in her heart. She replied in a low voice: "Yes ..."

"Father," Qin Fenghua raised his head suddenly, looked at Qin Shuo with tears in his eyes, and said, "Rongjing...will he die?"

Qin Shuo looked at his daughter with a nonchalant expression. He reached out and touched the sash hanging from Qin Fenghua's ear, and comforted him softly, "No way..."
