Chapter 389 Back to Beijing!
Chapter 389 Back to Beijing!
The final handling process of the case was simply chaotic.
The police suddenly rushed into the crowd to arrest people. After they caught them, the prefect Zou Cailiang, whom they usually regarded as an upright judge, hastily closed the case.
Both the Ding girl and the bearded man were thrown into jail, awaiting their fate.
Hooligans who spread "false" news among the crowd will be given 20 strokes of the cane and executed on the spot.
Afterwards, a team of officials rushed out of the government office and forcibly dispersed the onlookers. Only Lu Yao and a few others who came to look for Jiang Yingcheng were left in front of the empty government office.
Zou Cailiang looked as if the sky had fallen, and only after Lu Yao repeatedly assured him that he would not easily believe the one-sided words of the thugs did he hesitantly send the few people out the door.
However, how much of his already high spirits had been put down was unknown to outsiders.
……
The news that Emperor Mingze was here in person spread quickly throughout Fengjin County, along with the news that the little girl who frequently visited the snack shop in the city was the Eleventh Princess.
That night, the decades-long practice of closing the doors to customers at 11 p.m. for shops large and small suddenly became obsolete, and Fengjin County completely became a city that never sleeps.
Jiang Yingcheng really liked the situation where all the dessert shops in the city would take out their specialties to treat her, but every time she went out she would be stared at by a crowd of people. After enjoying the treatment of being a "female celebrity going out" for a day, she chose to stay at home and refused any activities outside.
As news from the capital had been constantly reaching Fengjin County in the past two days, Jiang Yanchuan had been busy for several days in a row. Finally, on the morning of the second day when the little guy stayed indoors, he ordered that except for the two ministers of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Justice, and nearly half of the secret guards who stayed in Fengjin County to handle subsequent matters, the rest of the people should return to the capital immediately.
There was snow and wind on the way here, but there were green trees and shades on the way back.
……
It was just past noon when the carriage arrived at the city gate.
Crown Prince Jiang Tinghuai and all the civil and military officials who were left behind in the capital personally welcomed them at the city gate. Jiang Yingcheng had already known about their actions in advance due to 007's reminder. She had been looking forward to it all the way, and the moment the carriage stopped, she was the first to jump out of the carriage and ran towards her brother the crown prince.
"Brother Prince, brother prince, guess what Cheng Cheng brought back to you - um."
The short legs suddenly stopped halfway through the process, and after hesitating for a moment, they even took a step back: [No, that's not right! ]
Jiang Tinghuai quickly glanced at Jiang Yanchuan and the others who were still in the distance, lowered his voice, and grinned: "Little Eleven, be good and come to Brother Crown Prince~"
He specially prepared the most "warm" welcome ceremony, waiting for her to fall into his hands!
Under the resentful gazes of the ministers who were left in the capital, Jiang Yingcheng trembled visibly, and his head almost shook like a rattle.
[Wuwuwu, Brother Tong, Brother Tong, what’s wrong with the prince and the uncles? 】
Why do they all look so scary? !
007, who always answers questions, was silent for a moment.
How can it be told to the little ones who have never entered the workplace? It is very resentful for a social animal to watch his colleagues go out to eat, drink and have fun while he is left to work overtime.
Jiang Yingcheng didn't understand the trick, but he was very aware of the crisis and started running back on the spot!
"Father, Father——"
[Wow wow wow——The prince and the uncles are so scary——]
Jiang Yanchuan, who had just stepped off the carriage, said: "..."
The scenery in the suburbs is unique. The distant mountains are covered with layers of dense forests. At a glance, it is all green, which is very pleasing to the eyes.
Scenes of living in seclusion in the mountains appeared in his mind, and he even wanted to take action immediately.
The court officials who had already stood still and waited for Emperor Mingze's order: "..."
Don’t, don’t come over here!
They are scared too!!
……
It turns out that the rising resentment is enough to temporarily suppress the fear in one's heart.
The officials were kept in the capital for several months. Not only did they have to deal with their own affairs, but they also had to deal with the work of their colleagues who were traveling. The more they worked, the angrier they became. The angrier they became, the less efficient they became. The less efficient they became, the more government affairs piled up...
Finally, a perfect closed loop is formed.
Before Jiang Yanchuan even stepped into the palace, several memorials were stuffed into his hands by court officials. By the time they entered the palace from Shengping Gate, he had more than ten memorials in his hands. He even saw one that was simply a greeting.
Jiang Yanchuan let out a long sigh, knowing that he could not avoid this fight today, so he ordered everyone not to return to their homes, but to bring them all directly to Chongyun Palace, under the pretext of introducing them to a new colleague.
——On their way back, they returned to Quchun County as scheduled and met up with Gu Ruizhou who was waiting for them there.
The ministers who had accompanied Emperor Mingze on his tour met the unfriendly looks of their colleagues. They dared not say anything but hung their heads and followed him listlessly.
Jiang Yingcheng is no exception.
She clung to her handsome father, following him closely, like a warrior ready to die bravely: [Wow, father, it’s because he wants to take Chengcheng out to play that this happens! Chengcheng must protect the handsome father!!]
The court officials who could hear the little guy's thoughts: "..."
It hasn't reached this extent.
During the period after New Year's Day, the government affairs in the court were indeed much less, and this was the case in the previous few years.
But I don't know if it was because of the sudden appearance of the little guy as a plug-in, Emperor Mingze issued several decrees in succession, as if the wolf king who had been hungry for years finally found a flock of sheep, and his intention to show his strength was particularly obvious.
The more things you want to do, the more things you need to deal with.
They really had something important to report today, otherwise, how could they dare to offend that person just out of resentment.
In Chongyun Palace, all the civil and military officials stood in their respective positions, and no one spoke for a while.
The ministers looked left and right, their eyebrows were about to fly to other people's faces, but no one spoke up first to be the first to speak out.
Jiang Yanchuan rested his hand on his forehead, his elbows on the dragon chair, his eyes obscure and unreadable: "Have you said everything you wanted to say on the way?"
Seeing them coming up one after another and following the car and reporting non-stop, he thought that someone was going to come to Da Rui's door the next moment.
The court was dead silent. After a long while, someone finally stepped out and bowed.
It was General Zhongwu Gao Siyuan.
Everyone looked at him eagerly and kept cheering him on.
As expected of a brave general in the army, he is indeed extremely courageous! !
The next moment, the brave and courageous general stood up and said in a sonorous voice, "Your Majesty, General Kan has something to report!"
General Kan Ruifeng: "..."
The ministers present: "..."
Is there anyone who asks for permission like you?!
Gao Siyuan faced the various looks from the ministers and the deathly gaze of General Kan without any shame on his face. He even slightly raised the corners of his lips and gave the other party an encouraging look.
I've done the first part for you! The rest of the way is up to you!
At this point, Kan Ruifeng could only take a deep breath and slowly take a step to the side: "Your Majesty——"
[What’s going on——]
[Could it be that Grandpa Kan was too diligent and sped up the preparations for the march, so the fact that someone mixed inferior food into the rations was exposed in advance?! ]
Civil and military officials: "..."
Civil and military officials: "!!!"
