Twin Brocade

Chapter 271
Jinghe picked up a pen and wrote back letters to Gui Chenghou, Cui Sheng, and Fang Jinshu respectively.

After receiving her reply, Fang Jinshu smiled and put the letter into the box.With Jinghe's action, the matter of Fang Mudi can finally be settled.

In the afternoon of that day, Fang Mudi was brought back to Fang's house in a sedan chair carried by six people.Immediately, Cui Sheng entered the palace to face the saint, and knelt outside the imperial study room, begging for forgiveness.

It was night, Wu Guangqi brought a bowl of fish maw soup with money into the imperial study, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, take some supper first, and take care of yourself." Emperor Qinglong raised his head from the memorial and stretched his back.From him, there was a crackling sound of joints.

He picked up the silver spoon, casually stirred in the soup, and asked, "That idiot Cui Sheng is still kneeling?"

Wu Guangqi replied with a smile: "Aren't you still on your knees! You have caused such a lot of trouble for the emperor, if he doesn't kneel, who will kneel?"

"Sure enough she's an idiot!" Emperor Qinglong laughed and said, "I would like to see how beautiful that concubine of the Fang family is, which can fascinate him."

The two major interest groups, the courtiers and the nobles, were fighting each other. Of course, he could watch the scene from the sidelines, but he also meant to let them expose their shortcomings first.But the turmoil became more and more intense, which exceeded his original intention.

"Isn't that right? How could the Cui family raise such a foolish boy? Fortunately, the emperor is so wise and powerful that no one paid any attention to him." Complaining on behalf of Emperor Qinglong, Wu Guangqi then flattered him comfortably.

Emperor Qinglong couldn't help laughing, and said: "You old bastard, you are getting better at talking!"

"That's because your majesty has taught you well."

After finishing the fish maw soup, Emperor Qinglong said: "Tell him to come in, don't waste the painstaking efforts of Concubine Cui."

Although Jinghe had no heirs, she was a concubine favored by the late emperor.For her sake, Emperor Qinglong couldn't make things difficult for the Cui family.Don't look at the fact that the censor is focusing his firepower on Cui Sheng now, if he doesn't pay attention, he may be able to write a letter accusing Emperor Qinglong of being mean and ungrateful.

Looking at Cui Sheng who was kneeling on the ground, Emperor Qinglong asked in a deep voice, "Cui Sheng, are you convicted?"

After kneeling for a long time, Cui Sheng's face turned pale, and he replied with a stiff neck: "The minister is at fault, but not guilty!"

Emperor Qinglong was so angry that he laughed, and asked, "Are you innocent of robbing the women?"

"I am in love with her, so why invite her home as a guest, what's the crime?" Cui Sheng plausibly said, "The only fault is that Fang's family didn't agree."

Looking at him, Emperor Qinglong was quite speechless.This Cui Sheng would cause trouble every now and then, and he would never plead guilty every time.

Emperor Qinglong's complexion darkened, and he changed his tone and said: "Since you are innocent, then she is the one who is guilty! Come, tell me, Mudi, the concubine of the Fang family, is a promiscuous and disorderly behavior, and she is waiting for her return." The son of the family, Cui Sheng, made a mistake. He should be arrested immediately, beaten thirty times, and sent to a women's prison, and after he recovers, he will be sent to the Jiaofang Secretary to atone for his sins."

Cui Sheng was startled, kowtowed repeatedly, and said, "Long live lord, I beg you to take back your life and give her your life! It's all my fault, I provoked her, and it has nothing to do with her!"

"Oh?" Emperor Qinglong asked lightly: "Cui Sheng, you don't know, this matter is such a big mess, someone must come to confess!"

His expression was majestic, and he didn't seem to be joking at all.Only Wu Guangqi, who was most familiar with him, could see the teasing smile hidden in the corner of Emperor Qinglong's mouth.

Seeing Emperor Qinglong teasing Cui Sheng, Wu Guangqi hurriedly buried his head lower.

"You, or she, always have to plead guilty."

"I plead guilty, I plead guilty!" Cui Sheng said repeatedly, "Your Majesty can punish me as much as you want. I'm rough-skinned and thick-skinned, so just reward me with thirty boards."

As he said that, he glanced at Emperor Qinglong's expression cautiously, and said, "Is there a shortage of actresses in the Jiaofang Division? I will go to Ningxiang Building to buy a batch to fill in, and keep all of them beautiful. .”

Wu Guangqi tried his best to hold back his laughter, this Cui Sheng is really capable of talking nonsense.

"Wouldn't the thirty boards be cheaper for you?" Emperor Qinglong was also amused by him, and then reprimanded him: "My Jiaofang Secretary, can those prostitutes be enough?"

"In this way, I will punish you to go to the Jiaofang Division to teach female music silk and bamboo for a year. If the singing and dancing at the New Year's Eve banquet next year satisfies me, you will have atoned for your sin!"

Cui Sheng is not only good-looking, but also proficient in silk and bamboo drum music, especially good at choreographing songs and dances.The singing and dancing in Guichenghou's mansion is so unique that even Taichang Temple invited him to arrange it.

It's just that his title of Silly Overlord is for nothing?He always does things as he pleases, and if he doesn't go, no one can do anything about him.The Minister of Taichang Temple often muttered in front of Emperor Qinglong, but this time Emperor Qinglong took the opportunity.

"Your Majesty." Cui Sheng begged with a bitter face, "Your minister is just a libertine, what kind of ability do you have?"

Emperor Qinglong looked at him amusedly, he was able to say that he was a libertine in front of him, and he really had no semicolon except Cui Sheng.

Seeing that his face was calm, Cui Sheng cheered up, beat the snake with the stick and said: "Your Majesty, look, I have to apologize to the Fang family as soon as I go back, and then I have to do marriage affairs. How can I have time to go to the Jiaofang Division?"

"Besides, Xiaochen just married a new wife, so you let me go to the Jiaofang Division, isn't it appropriate?"

Emperor Qinglong's face sank, and said: "If you don't go, then let her go."

"Don't!" Cui Sheng hurriedly raised his hands to surrender, and said with a heroic sacrifice, "Go! But your majesty, can you issue an imperial decree to give my bride who is going to marry me a proper title?"

Seeing that he was making progress, Emperor Qinglong asked with a blush, "What title do you want?"

Seeing something interesting, Cui Sheng said with a shy face, "What kind of county lord or township lord? Or Yiren or Shuren. Just have a title, and you don't need to give it to the emperor."

The titles he mentioned were not of high grade, but with Fang Mudi's status, he couldn't qualify for these titles no matter what.

Emperor Qinglong waved his hand impatiently, and said, "Go! Go down and get beaten first, you really dare to mention it."

Cui Sheng suffered [-] slaps in the palace, was carried on the door panel, and returned to Guicheng Hou's Mansion crying and howling all the way.Seeing that he was beaten, the Cui family felt relieved.

Gui Chenghou wrote a thank-you note overnight, thanking Emperor Qinglong for taking the initiative to discipline their son.

The next morning, at the Xuanzheng Hall.

Emperor Qinglong burned all the impeachment papers in front of all courtiers and dignitaries.When everyone heard about Cui Sheng's punishment yesterday, they looked at each other in blank dismay.

"I will stay in China and not send it out, just to see if any of you are dedicated to serving the public."

"And what about you? Each one of you is complaining about suffering, or criticizing your opponent! Gossip, what is gossip?" Emperor Qinglong reprimanded: "What I want is a censor, not a country woman who is gossiping and gossiping!"

The censors who he compared to country women were all silent.
