The emperor leaned back slightly, leaned on the back of the chair, looked at Old Chen Ge and Shi Ju, "It happens that these two are also here, let's listen together. I will solve the problem for you in person, so as not to have a knot in your heart in private. "
"Especially at this time, Qing usually doesn't like to fight." The emperor sipped his tea with a puzzled tone, "How did you fight with Chen Aiqing's granddaughter?"
Don't you have to talk about it in detail? How can you say that you just skip it.
The guard looked up at the emperor, as well as Shiju and Chen Gelao who were standing beside him, hesitated for a moment, and corrected his words just now.
"It's not appropriate to say it's a fight. It's just that Mr. Chen Ge's granddaughter was being held down by the young master."
"..."
Chen Ge was already wiping away his sweat, but when he heard this, he straightened his back again and looked at Shi Ju, "Teacher Shi, you have to explain this matter to the old lady."
She said: "My Chen family is just such a granddaughter. Although she is not good enough, she also likes to play a little bit, but it is not appropriate to be beaten up in the street by a young adult, right?"
Shi Ju Bafeng didn't move, with one hand behind his back, he asked lightly, "Why don't you hear the whole story clearly before you explain it?"
Shi Qing went out with Yun Zhi today, usually Yun Zhi would go if he really wanted to use force, and Shi Qing was responsible for the opening and aftermath.
Now Shi Qing is the one who hit people, there must be other things in between.
Shi Ju didn't panic at all.
"This..." Chen Ge paused.
Seeing that she was blocked by Shi Ju's words, Shen Yuan smiled and said, "Yes, ask the matter clearly before deciding whether it is right or wrong. But—"
She changed the subject, as if she felt that something was wrong, "As an official of the imperial court, Shi Qing is a fourth-rank servant of the household department, and he clashed with people in the street, especially when the other party has no official position or rank."
Shen Yuan frowned, "If this gets out, will the common people think that all my court officials are as reckless and impulsive as Shi Qing and love to do things?"
"Is there something that cannot be said properly?"
She looked at Shiju and smiled, "Teacher Shi is right?"
This is Shen Yuan's secret revenge for being humiliated by Shi Qing at the gate of Shi Mansion that day.
The emperor paused while drinking tea, looked sideways at Shen Yuan, and then looked back.
Shi Ju raised his head and looked back at Shen Yuan, "Master Shen, the question now is why Shi Qing clashed with Chen Gel's granddaughter, not whether Shi Qing's actions are appropriate."
In Shen Yuan's three or two sentences, the focus of the matter was shifted from "the two people's usual fights" to "whether Shi Qing's behavior as a court official was inappropriate".
It's obviously a matter between two people, but at the end of the discussion, it's right or wrong for one person.
She is a good hand at blurring the focus and diverting attention.
Shen Yuan smiled and nodded, "That's right, I only remember that Shi Qing was a court official, and I forgot that she was still a child."
She looked at the guard, "Tell me what's going on."
Anyway, Shi Qing was the one who started the attack and hit people, Shen Yuan felt calm.
There is no water splash left and right.
Chen Gelao's eyes flickered, and he didn't have the confidence and confidence of Shen Yuan at all.
The guard then said, "The reason why Mr. Shi did it is because Mr. Chen Gel's granddaughter molested the young master of the Shi family in the street, and even wanted to send his servants to rob him, but Mr. Shi caught him on the spot, so he did it."
She said: "All the people watching can testify."
"..."
Shen Yuan was silent.
The end of Shen Yuan's right eye twitched, her face was hot, as if she had been slapped hard by an invisible slap.
She looked sideways at Old Chen Ge.
This granddaughter of the Chen family is really a filial child!
How dare he molested a man in the streets of the capital, and even molested Mr. Shi Qing, was he afraid that Shi Qing would have nothing to do with it
When this kind of thing happened, let alone beat her, even if she was maimed in the street, the Shi family would take care of it!
Shen Yuan now just wants to go back to covering her mouth just now, she shouldn't have opened her mouth.
Blame her for being impatient.
The main reason is that Mr. Chen was the most suitable candidate in the plan. She spent a lot of effort in private in order to recommend Mr. Chen.
If Chen Gelao was squeezed out because of her granddaughter, it would be nothing.
But judging from the current situation, Chen Ge may not be able to keep it.
What Shen Yuan regretted the most was not that Chen Ge couldn't keep him, but that she stood up and spoke just now.
Chen Gel couldn't even raise his head now.
She was upright all her life, but this granddaughter was the biggest failure in her life.
The guard was very upright, and added, "Chen Gelao's granddaughter even threatened to kill the second miss of the Qian family, and even shouted all over the street, 'Do you know who my grandmother is'."
…Stop it, stop it soon.
Old Chen Ge was sweating profusely, and he was ashamed to see others.
The emperor lowered his eyes and sipped the tea, the tea lid gently scraped the mouth of the teacup, and his voice was slow, "Who was talking about it just now?"
She was puzzled, and turned her head to ask the servant, "I am old and my memory is not good. I didn't hear clearly before. Is it what Chen Aiqing wanted?"
"..."
Old Chen Ge knelt on the ground with a plop, "The old minister is guilty, the old minister's family education is not strict, the old minister is ashamed."
The emperor looked at Mr. Chen Ge, "Aiqing, your granddaughter is not just a playful girl."
In the end, the tone was low.
Chen Gelao was selected as the chief examiner of Enke, it must be because of her high morals, strength and good character.
But there is such a granddaughter in the family who dares to molest and rob men in the streets of the capital, which shows that the constraints on the lower levels are not enough.
Fortunately, it was Shi Qing and Yun Zhi who met, if they were ordinary people, she would really have succeeded.
At that time, things will get serious, and Mr. Chen Gel will be the chief examiner of Enke, which will have a great influence.
Since it is Enke, there can be no mistakes.
Old Chen Ge knew it well, so he took the initiative to say, "I am ashamed of my conduct, and I am not worthy of being the chief examiner."
She gritted her teeth, and said: "Your granddaughter, Chen Xiaoli, who is ineffective, will never be an official in this life. I beg the emperor to give you a chance to discipline her. Afterwards, I will definitely bring her to the door in person to make amends to Mr. and Mrs. Xiao."
She's pretty conscious.
The emperor's tone softened a lot, "Get up."
"Shen Aiqing." The emperor called Shen Yuan again holding a teacup.
Shen Yuan came out to salute with shame on her face and said: "It's the minister who doesn't know the whole picture, so he makes more comments. It's true that the hands-on matter is true. I don't blame Shi Qing. It's the minister who has too much prejudice against Master Shi."
In the words, he pushed the fault to the grievances with the Shi family back then, which can be regarded as trying his best to make up for it.
It is better for the emperor to feel that she is not dealing with the Shi family than to make the emperor feel that she is protecting Chen Ge.
Chen Gelao is now an abandoned son. It is obviously useless to pull at this time, but he can save himself by stepping on it.
There is no need to think about how Shen Yuan will choose.
The emperor looked down at the teacup in his hand, "That's not what I asked."
Shen Yuan was slightly taken aback.
The emperor put down the teacup and looked at her, "Chen Aiqing is involved in family affairs, so obviously she can't delay the position of examiner. Among the others, who do you think is suitable for the position?"
The teacup, which was neither light nor heavy, knocked against the smooth table, and the movement, which was not a big deal at first, was very clear in the quiet imperial study.
It's like knocking on someone's heart.
When Shi bowed his eyelashes and moved slightly, the hand behind his back clenched slightly, as if he understood something.
However, Shen Yuan's heart was beating wildly, and she felt like an invisible coercion approaching every inch of her surroundings.
It's just a light sentence to the emperor, but it's a boulder that can stir up thousands of waves when it falls below.
This is Huangwei.
Just when Shen Yuan was about to panic, the emperor suddenly relaxed, smiled slowly, and the tense atmosphere relaxed just like that.
"Why are you so nervous, I just asked casually."
The emperor looked at the documents spread out on the desktop, on which were written the names of several candidates.
She picked up the vermilion pen and crossed it horizontally, just like crossing out the name of the eldest prince during the land enclosure case.
"Why bother, from my point of view, Qiu Wei's chief examiner is Shen Aiqing."
Shen Yuan thought she had heard wrong, and suddenly looked up at the emperor.
It was obviously an errand she had longed for before, but now it really fell on her, but she couldn't be happy at all.
This is the complete opposite of her plan.
Previously, Shen Yuan wanted to be the chief examiner, one was to enhance her reputation, and the other was to win over talents and expand students.
But now, when it comes to the dispute of the crown daughter, it is the risk of seizing the heir.
What Shen Yuan wanted was to pull the sixth princess behind Chen Gel into the water with the Zhen family, and stand by the river and watch by herself.
In this way, no matter what happens, no matter how you investigate, it will not affect her.
Now that she has become the chief examiner, no matter how careful she is, she is still in the middle of the game.
As long as you are in the game, there will be more risks and accidents.
Shen Yuan saluted, and said hesitantly: "But I'm still young and young..."
"It's okay, Shiqing is not yet twenty, and now she is the fourth grade, how can you not be as good as her? Besides, she is only the chief examiner of Qiu Wei, not Chun Wei."
The emperor looked at Shen Yuan with a somewhat meaningful expression, "Shen Aiqing, you are not only the minister of the Ministry of Rites, but also the eldest prince's wife and son-in-law, my most trusted sibling, you must not let me down."
Shen Yuan bowed her head and saluted, "... yes."
The emperor closed the document, "Since the chief examiner has been appointed, you can go back."
Shi Ju and the others bowed and retreated.
After the few people left, the expression on the emperor's face faded, and he leaned back on the back of the chair, with his palm resting on the armrest of the chair, and his eyelashes dropped to cover the expression in his eyes.
The servant held his breath and retreated a few steps away.
For a moment, in the entire imperial study room, it seemed that only the emperor on the dragon chair was alone.
She was sitting in the center of the imperial study room, and the sunlight was cast half a step away from the desk. But when she leaned back in the chair, she leaned in the shade.
Shen Yuan is very similar to her husband Xiao Changning in doing things.
Xiao Changning's strikes are steady and ruthless, if he is not fully sure, he will not strike easily.
Shen Yuan is the same, but she has been in the officialdom for many years, and she is more tactful, and she never talks too much when it's not about her.
But now because of a Qiu Wei, he had to stand up and speak.
The land enclosure case, disaster relief funds, plus the current Qiu Wei...
The emperor tapped the armrest of the chair with his finger, three times.
"I remember, there are still two vacancies for the deputy examiner?"
Knowing that the servant is there, the emperor said slowly, "One is the person recommended by the fourth child, and the other is the person the Zhen family likes."
"yes."
She wants to see how Chang Ning wants to play this game of chess.
Her old chessboard has not been replaced yet, but Chang Ning is already choosing a new chessboard.
As the eldest prince, he was more anxious than himself as the emperor.
Let's talk about the three people who left the imperial study room.
As soon as he left the door of the imperial study, Chen Gel made a long bow to Shi Ju, "I, I, hey..."
She is ashamed of herself.
Shi Ju raised his hand to help her, "Mr. Chen Ge doesn't have to be like this. The younger generation is unfilial, so there is still time for more discipline. Even if you don't become an official in the future, as long as there are no accidents, you can still live in peace for the rest of your life."
It is impossible for Shi Ju to blame her grandmother Chen Gelao for what Chen Xiaoli did.
"I know." Old Chen Ge was angry and regretful.
She patted Shiju's hand, her face full of helplessness and guilt, "Speak to Shi Qing and her husband for me, and I will definitely bring my useless granddaughter to confess to them."
Shi Ju nodded.
She will not anger Chen Gel because of Chen Xiaoli's fault, but she will also not forgive others magnanimously for Shi Qing and Yun Zhi.
When the two were talking, Shen Yuan had something on her mind, she simply nodded her head and left first.
Shi Ju looked at her back, and said something to Mr. Chen Ge, "Fortune and misfortune depend on each other, not being an examiner may not be a bad thing."
Chen Ge nodded his face, but was very annoyed in his heart.
How could it not be a bad thing!
If she becomes the chief examiner, it will be a good thing for herself, the sixth emperor and the Zhen family.
Now because of one Chen Xiaoli, everything is ruined.
Exasperating.
Mr. Chen Ge has always been doting on this granddaughter, treating her like a golden bump.
Although she occasionally reprimanded her verbally, she never took a serious action, which also caused her to become more and more lawless, leading to today's result.
After Chen Gelao returned to his mansion, he sent people to Jingzhaoyi Yamen to bring Chen Xiaoli back.
Because Chen Ge got old a little later, and Shi Qing asked someone to say hello again, Chen Xiaoli did not miss any of the twenty boards, so she will definitely learn a lesson.
When returning home, Chen Xiaoli's buttocks were blooming, and they were all lying on the wide wooden plank for two servants to carry them back.
When Chen Ge looked at her pitiful appearance, his heart was broken, and he couldn't say a word of lesson, so he bent down and patted his thigh anxiously, asked Chen Xiaoli how he was, and urged his servants to come over to get the medicine.
"Why are you so ruthless? Hurry up, bring the good medicine for golden sores, and I'll give her the medicine myself."
Chen Ge always rolled up his sleeves, his heart tightened, "Does it hurt?"
Chen Xiaoli said angrily, "Nonsense, it's all beaten like this, can it not hurt?"
With red eyes, she gritted her teeth, "Shi Qing, don't fall into my hands next time, or I'll kill her!"
Old Chen Ge stopped rolling his sleeves, as if he didn't hear clearly, "Who are you trying to kill?"
"Shi Qing," Chen Xiaoli hated Shi Qing to death, "I just made a few jokes with her husband, how could she let someone beat me to death?"
"She is waiting, when I get better, I will definitely not let her go!"
"You, you, you still don't know what's wrong!" Chen Gel was awakened by Chen Xiaoli's words full of love.
Things in the imperial study gradually came to an end, and Chen Gelao's rationality finally defeated his sensibility for loving his granddaughter.
Chen Xiaoli poked her neck and turned to stare at her, "Who is your granddaughter!"
"Shouldn't you go to the court to attend Shiqing and make her lose her official position?"
Let Shi Qing lose his official position? Her own little life might be lost anytime soon!
Chen Ge was so angry that his chest hurt.
Just when the servant handed over the medicine, Chen Ge said: "What kind of medicine do you take, bring me the cane! If I don't discipline her well today, she won't be able to survive after I die in the future."
Chen Xiaoli was not afraid at all.
The family didn't ask for the cane back, but every time they raised it high to frighten her, they never dropped it, and they were used to it.
Chen Xiaoli was about to say, "You hit."
Chen Gelao was already holding the cane and whipping her ass.
With the sound of "snap", the already blossoming buttocks became worse for a while, and the pain doubled.
Chen Xiaoli immediately let out a pig cry, "Ah—it hurts!"
"It hurts you so you can have a long memory!" Chen Gel beat his granddaughter for the first time, his hands were shaking, and the force was not too heavy.
But she gritted her teeth and hit it again, "Do you know what's wrong?"
"In your opinion, it's just a few jokes with my husband, but if this matter is placed above the court, it means that my virtue is ashamed and my family is not strict!"
"If it wasn't for you, the job of the chief examiner would have been lost? How do you want me to meet Lord Zhen and the sixth princess?"
Chen Xiaoli yelled, "Then you should blame Shi Qing and her husband even more! It's all their fault."
"It's just a fourth rank, you are still afraid of a fourth rank servant!"
Chen Xiaoli didn't understand why her grandmother was afraid of Shi Qing, nor did she understand why the people in the Jingzhaoyi Yamen listened to Shi Qing's words.
Old Chen Ge pointed at Chen Xiaoli's pig's head with a rattan stick, "What do you know?"
"Let's not say that Shiqing's mother is the original imperial censor, but the current Shi Taifu, just talking about Shiqing, can throw you hundreds of streets away!"
Chen Xiaoli was not convinced.
Chen Gelao said: "Shi Qing is the best of the current science, and his strength is not inferior to the number one."
"Especially from February of this year to the present, in just five or six months, she has been promoted from the seventh-rank censor to the current fourth-rank Hubu servant."
Even if he is not an official, even Chen Xiaoli feels that the speed of promotion is a bit fast.
She was dumbfounded, and said, "How is it possible?"
"It's so possible, don't talk about you, it's the first time I've seen this in my life."
Chen Ge said: "She just has that ability, and she is promoted based on merit. Don't look at her young age, she will definitely not lose to her mother in the future."
Chen Xiaoli shut up and remained silent.
Compared with Shi Qing, she is really not enough.
Chen Gelao continued, "You said you were going to kill her? Her husband, the man you casually molested, beat and knelt down three generals in the street a few months ago. Under force, he couldn't even raise his head. "
Chen Xiaoli raised her upper body in shock, and said subconsciously, "That beauty..."
Before the words finished, Chen Gel just slapped Chen Xiaoli's butt with a cane, and said angrily, "Think about how to call it!"
Chen Xiaoli burst into tears and snot from the pain, clamped her buttocks, choked up and said, "Ms. Shi Qing."
Old Chen Ge was quite satisfied, "Think about it now, who wants to kill whom?"
Chen Xiaoli originally thought that the other party was an ordinary man who knew how to punch, but who knew he was so good at fighting!
Thinking about it now, when Shi Qing hit her, he saved her life.
No wonder the man asked her first before making a move, "Do you know Shi Qing?"
I didn't know each other before, but now I do.
Seeing that Chen Gel was about to raise his hand again, Chen Xiaoli immediately turned around and hugged her leg, crying and confessing, "Grandma, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, I can't beat her, it hurts too much."
She never thought that the capital would change after she hadn't returned to Beijing for a few years.
It's not Qian Er, let alone himself, who shakes the whole street, but Shi Qing.
After all, old Chen Ge is not young, he sat on a chair to rest tired, and the rattan pointed at Chen Xiaoli, "I let you remember today, when you leave our house, you are nothing compared to Shi Qing." !"
Chen Xiaoli was beaten physically first, but now she was beaten mentally, lying on the horizontal plank and weeping silently.
Perhaps today's lesson was too profound, and with the addition of muscle memory, for many years to come, just hearing Shi Qing's name, she would subconsciously clamp her buttocks, feeling that a board and vine would fall down at any time.
Chen Ge always watched Chen Xiaoli listen to the training honestly, and it was rare to feel the majesty that a grandmother should have.
Even the rattan in his hand became smoother and smoother.
Granddaughter should be trained like this!
Shi Qing taught her a truth today:
To be a grandma is to act like a grandma.
If she was willing to be cruel and understand earlier, Chen Xiaoli would not be as virtuous as she is today.
Blame the child, and blame her too.
Old Chen Ge asked Chen Xiaoli to recuperate for a few days, barely able to get out of bed, so he took her and gifts to Shi's house to make amends.
Shi Qing and Yun Zhi were not there at the time, and they heard that they had gone to the palace to visit the fifth princess.
Fortunately, the two of them were not there, and Chen Xiaoli was relieved after trembling all the way.
Although she has never met the fifth emperor's daughter, it does not prevent Chen Xiaoli from offering incense to the fifth emperor's daughter in her heart.
Thank you "Five Bodhisattvas" for saving your life.
