At noon that day, the family gathered to eat together. Lunch is very rich, with 16 dishes and a soup. But because there are more dishes, the amount is relatively small.
After eating the jujube, he touched his chubby belly and said, "I haven't eaten it so rich in a long time."
Yuxi glanced at Jujube, there was no such thing as a girl in this appearance, but she was too lazy to say now, she simply turned her head to avoid seeing.
Liuer couldn't see it, and walked over to hold Zaozao's hand: "Elder sister, I have something to tell you!" The older sister looks like this, and she must be talked about when she goes out to socialize in the future.
After the two sisters left, the triplets also left, leaving Qihao alone.
Yun Qing glanced at Qi Hao and asked, "Ahao, what's going on?" Why did all of them talk to Yuxi after coming back, but none of the kids had anything to say to him. Think about it, Yun Qing was a little frustrated.
Qi Hao hesitated.
Yuxi smiled and asked, "Is it because of your uncle?" Seeing Qihao still hesitating, Yuxi said: "Ayou told us last night that he suspects your uncle is embezzling and accepting bribes."
Yun Qing frowned and said, "Ahao, do you also think your uncle is corrupt and accepting bribes?" If Qihao thinks this way, then the matter is serious.
Qi Hao shook his head and said, "Corruption and acceptance of bribes are not enough, but the use of power for personal gain is affirmative." Han Jianming is the governor of Jiangnan, it would be too stupid to embezzle.
These words were the same as Yuxi thought. Yun Qing's face was solemn, and after a while he looked at Yuxi and said, "If the uncle really uses power for personal gain, Yuxi, what should we do?"
There was no smile on Yuxi's face at this time, but he did not respond to Yun Qing's words.
Qi Hao was silent and said, "Father, mother, if the uncle's situation is not serious, just remove him from his position."
Yuxi asked, "Why do you say it like this?" Even if this matter is serious, it can't be dealt with on the table.
Qi Hao lowered his head and said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult for my mother."
Yun Qing looked at Yuxi and said, "Yuxi, what do you think?" If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of anything. If Han Jianming really uses power for personal gain, he will have to deal with it.
Yuxi looked at Yun Qing and said, "You are going to send troops next year. You can't transfer your eldest brother back to Gaocheng before then." Yuxi was talking about transfer, not removal.
Yun Qing understood Yuxi's concerns: "You are right, even if your eldest brother is wrong, you have to wait until the battle is over."
But Qihao understood the meaning of Yuxi's words. His uncle has been in Jiangnan for many years, and he must have won many people. If you change people rashly, it won't be so easy to raise grain and grass. If the grain and grass can't keep up, there is no need to fight this battle.
Yuxi looked at Yun Qing and said, "Herui, I have something to say to Qihao, can you go back to the house first?" It's not that Yun Qing can't let Yun Qing listen, but he's afraid that Qihao's face will not survive.
The biggest advantage of Yunqing is that he is broad-minded and doesn't think too much. Like now, if you change to another man, you will definitely feel uncomfortable, but Yun Qing is not.
There were only two mothers and sons left in the house, and Yuxi asked, "You said that the situation is light and remove your uncle from the position. If the situation is serious, what do you think should be done?"
Qi Hao didn't even think about it and said, "According to the law." Since he dared to do things that violate the law and discipline, he must be prepared to pay the price.
Yuxi shook his head and said, "Even if your uncle is using power for personal gain, my mother can't deal with him. The most is to transfer him back to Gaocheng and give him a false position to prevent him from holding real power."
In Qi Hao's mind, Yuxi has always been a person who never favors favoritism in business affairs. So after hearing this, Qi Hao asked incredulously: "Why?"
At the end of the day, I was too young to think about many things. Yuxi said: "Your uncle abandoned the title of the Lord of the Kingdom and went to join the family with his mother. What would an outsider think if the mother took him seriously? A man who can't even tolerate his brother, what would the civil and military officials think? , How can others dare to submit?" The most important thing is that Yuxi is still very grateful to Han Jianming. As long as Han Jianming does not betray her, she will protect the Han family's prosperity and wealth while she lives. It's just these things, she won't tell Qihao.
Qi Hao really didn't expect this.
Yuxi said in memory: "Anyway, if you deal with your uncle, your grandmother will be charged with unfilial piety when the time comes." Baishan filial piety first, how can an unfilial person manage this well? nation. It may be fine in a short time, but it will definitely leave a huge hidden danger.
Qi Hao lowered his head in shame: "Mother, it's because I didn't think well."
Yuxi touched Qihao's head and said softly: "Aha, there will be no fish when the water is clear. Unless it is a felony treason or harm to the people, we must not be spared. Things like the use of power for personal gain, even if exposed. You can't kill your uncle either." The punishment is affirmative, but he can't be killed, and if it is not exposed, he cannot be dealt with clearly.
Qi Hao frowned.
Yuxi did not force Qihao to accept her point of view immediately. Only when you are in it will you know how difficult it is to do: "This matter hasn't come out yet, maybe it's just that we have thought about it too much." Han Jianming's letter , Yuxi didn't show it to Qihao.
Qi Hao nodded: "Mother, I'm going back."
Yuxi said, "If you can't figure it out, you can ask your teacher to see how he answers." Since he is a teacher, he should answer questions for the students.
Back to the bedroom, Yun Qing saw Yuxi's tired look: "Thanks for your hard work." Qihaote had his own opinions, but it was hard to teach.
Yuxi relayed her conversation with Qi Hao, smiled and said, "No matter how clever Ah Hao is, he is only twelve years old. There are a lot of things he can't think about." Simple.
Yun Qing smiled and said, "Teach him more."
Yuxi nodded and said, "Now you know why you have to wait for Qihao to be in power after he is twenty-five years old? After two years, I'm going to let him work in the Ministry of Ceremony."
"It's up to you." After a pause, Yun Qing said: "I want to send troops next year, I want to take Ahao."
Yuxi smiled and nodded.
Qi Hao returned to the yard and called Brother Hua to come over: "Did Qiyou ever tell you that the Han family is richer than the palace?"
Brother Hua shook his head and said: "I didn't say, but I feel that he is very disagreeable with the Han family. However, the Han family's life is indeed a bit extravagant. I have already mentioned this to my dad." He never concealed Qi Hao. anything.
Qi Hao's pupils shrank, then smiled and asked, "What did Uncle say?"
Brother Hua said: "My father was very surprised." After a pause, Brother Hua looked at Qi Hao and said, "The son, my father is the son of the Guogong Mansion. Too rich."
There was still a smile on Qi Hao's face, but the smile didn't reach the bottom of his eyes: "Are you trying to excuse your uncle for this matter?"
Brother Hua shook his head and said, "No, I'm just telling the truth. After I told him about it, he was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. Son, I'm also part of the Han family. Since I see something wrong, I'll definitely say it. "After speaking, Brother Hua looked at Qi Hao and said: "Shizi, I can't guarantee that my father is fine, but I believe he will not do anything that crosses the bottom line."
Thinking of Yuxi's words, Qi Hao changed his mind and asked, "If the uncle does something that violates the law, what do you think should be done?"
Brother Hua was taken aback and then smiled bitterly: "My son, are you embarrassing me? If my father breaks the law, the princess will definitely deal with it."
Qi Hao asked: "Then what do you think my mother will do?" After that, he added another sentence: "Actually speaking."
Brother Hua was silent and said, "My father is not only the elder brother of the princess, but also her right-hand man. As long as it is not a serious crime like conspiracy and rebellion, I think my aunt will deal with it lightly."
After Qi Hao gave a hum, he didn't speak any more.
A month later, Yang Duoming's secret letter arrived in Yuxi's hands. After reading the letter, Yuxi's brows stretched out: "Send someone to call Shizi over."
Hearing that it was Yuxi summoned, the husband asked Qihao to go there quickly. Because the husband knows it doesn't matter, Yuxi won't call Qihao over at this time.
Seeing Qi Hao, Yuxi gave him a secret letter: "This is the result of Yang Duoming's investigation. Take a look."
According to Yang Duoming's investigation, the largest restaurant and silk shop in Jinling have shares of the Han family. In addition to this, the Han family has also done some other businesses. In addition, the Han family has two large farms in Jinling. These together make an annual income of four to fifty thousand taels of silver. These silvers are enough for the expenses of the Han Mansion.
After reading it, Qi Hao frowned and said: "Mother, those precious furnishings in the Han Mansion, anything is worth a lot of money." Yang Duoming did not mention these in the secret letter.
Yuxi said: "In the past few years, the mother cleaned Jiangnan and copied the homes of those anti-thief. The things used by the Han Mansion were obtained at that time." Most of the fired items were registered and shipped to Gaocheng, and there was a small one. Part of it was left by everyone.
After hearing this, Qi Hao asked, "Doesn't that mean it's a private pocket?" This is also illegal. However, it is much better to use power for personal gain.
Yuxi still said: "When the water is clear, there will be no fish. It is unrealistic to let them not take all of their pennies into the treasury. Even if they fight, part of the spoils will be left behind. As long as it is not excessive, this matter will be fine. Should not be held accountable."
Qi Hao frowned and said, "But the uncle has left too much, right?"
Yuxi nodded and said, "He left a little too much, but he abandoned his entire family business in order to defect to his mother. These are the compensations given to him by the mother at that time!"
Qihao also knew that Han Jianming had abandoned a lot when he came to Haocheng. Even if Yuxi wanted to make up for Han Jianming, he couldn't say anything. Qi Hao whispered: "Mother, I'm afraid that uncle doesn't understand your painstaking efforts."
Yuxi smiled and said, "Your uncle's biggest wish is to revitalize the Han family and let the Han family enter the center of power. Therefore, he will not turn the cart before the horse."
Qi Hao nodded and said, "Mother, my uncle has been in Jiangnan for so many years, so let's transfer him back when he gets to the capital!"
Yuxi nodded and said, "When the capital is taken, you don't need to speak up, your uncle will take the initiative to return to the capital."
The amount of information was a bit big, Qi Hao was very surprised: "Mother, do you mean we are going to move to the capital after the capital is taken?" Seeing Yuxi nodded, Qi Hao asked: "Mother, do you know about this? "
Yuxi laughed and said, "What are you talking about?" How could such a big matter not be discussed with Yun Qing.
Qi Hao also felt that the question just now was a bit stupid: "So, did you agree?"
"Not yet, but he didn't object either." Yun Qing said at the time that Beijing hadn't won it, saying it was too early.
Qi Hao said with a smile, "I heard that Beijing is more prosperous than Jinling, I'm a little bit looking forward to it."
"Your father meant to send troops next year and let you follow you at that time. What's your opinion?" Although you don't need to ask and know that Qihao is eager to follow, Yuxi still wants to ask.
Qi Hao smiled with curving eyebrows: "Of course I went. By the way, my eldest sister's body is almost better. Will he go with us next year?"
Yuxi didn't give a definite answer: "It depends on the situation!" If the body is healed, she will definitely not stop her.
At this time, Han Jianming, who was far away in the south of the Yangtze River, was very upset. Han Jianming has been in Jiangnan for so many years and has many eyes and ears. Yang Duoming checked him, how could he not know. It's just that Brother Hua's words are ahead, so he dare not act rashly.
Mr. Zhao comforted him and said, "Master, don't worry, I believe the princess will not believe in the Fourth Young Master."
Han Jianming smiled bitterly: "If you don't believe Brother You, Yuxi won't let Yang Duoming check me." After a pause, Han Jianming said, "I was too careless." He didn't expect it. Qiyou is so sensitive.
Mr. Zhao said: "Yang Duoming's relationship with the master is not bad, I believe he will not do things out of nothing." No one is perfect, and Han Jianming has done some extraordinary things over the years, but there is no big mistake. Now it is the occasion of hiring people, he believes that the princess will not severely punish Han Jianming for some small mistakes.
"You should not be born out of nothing, I'm afraid that the princess has a pimple in his heart." It was also a long time in Jiangnan, and he lost his vigilance, and he didn't pay attention to the storm.
Mr. Zhao said: "The master gave up so much for the princess that day. The princess should not punish you severely for this matter."
Han Jianming shook his head and said, "Forget it, this time it's a lesson, and we have to pay more attention in the future." This sentiment is always worth a day, so he is the least willing to use it.
As he was talking, he listened to the long follow-up saying: "Master, General Fang Xingfang begs to see you."
After talking, Han Jianming returned to the main courtyard.
When the Xiang family heard Han Jianming's return, he hurriedly got up from the chaise longue, and walked over with a smile on his face and said, "Master, you are back." After the pregnancy, instead of becoming ugly, Xiang's face became shiny and shiny. It is said that pregnant women become beautiful. In private, many people said that Xiang's child was afraid of being a daughter, and this word also reached Xiang's ears. But because of Han Jianming's words, she thought it was nothing to have a daughter.
Han Jianming hadn't spoken yet, he just looked up at the house. I saw a tiger pattern leather quilt on the red sandalwood lounge chair against the wall in the room. The tiger fur is soft and flat, with clear markings and bright colors.
It's fine if you don't pay attention on weekdays, but now that Han Jianming is a little scared after looking at it. Everything in this house is of great value, and the yard where Yuxi lives is not so rich and rich, no wonder Qiyou feels uncomfortable.
Xiang felt keenly that Han Jianming was not right: "Master, what's the matter?"
Han Jianming said indifferently: "The furnishings in this room are too extravagant, you can change them all!" Because Xiang hadn't taken him in Gaocheng, Han Jianming said more: "The place where the palace lives is Not as luxurious as yours."
Xiang is not a stupid person, his face changed when he heard these words, and he hurriedly said: "Tomorrow, I will change these things." No matter what, you can't get past the prince and the princess.
