Dawei Fanghua

The pattering autumn rain formed a mist-like water curtain in the sky, and the pavilions near and far were shrouded in mist and mist.

In the small pavilion in the courtyard, a fire was burning at this time. Tung oil, wooden boards, bamboo slips and other objects were burned together. The black smoke floated into the rain curtain and slowly disappeared into nothingness.Wang Lingjun stared at the fire for a long time until his eyes were pierced by the bright light and felt uncomfortable.

She suddenly remembered that her father had also burned a box in General Zhengdong's Mansion in Shouchun City, on a rainy day.But it was not burned cleanly that time, but it was finally burned cleanly today.

The fragments from the memories came into his mind, and Wang Lingjun imitated his father's appearance at that time and let out a long breath.

Wang Lingjun and Qin Liang stood side by side. After looking at each other for a long time, Qin Liang's voice said: "Go back to your room."

She seemed to have a lot to say, but was speechless for a moment.What can be said has probably been said before, and it would be a bit redundant to say more.There are some things that I am embarrassed to say and cannot express clearly.

Her thoughts were also very confused. At this time, everything in her mind was as hazy and unclear as the scenery on this rainy day.For example, is Qin Liang's heart problem caused by the dilemma between her and Wang Xuanji?Another example is that Wang Xuanji poured tea soup in the attic today. What is it metaphorizing?She guessed that Qin Liang didn't leave something in Xuanji's body, so Xuanji said it should be fine.But what exactly did Xuanji do? Ling Jun also put his finger on Xuanji's mouth as a hint. As a result, Xuanji immediately drank the tea soup in one gulp. Maybe Xuanji went too far and actually ate it?Wang Lingjun still felt shocked and his face was hot when he thought about it.

When Wang Lingjun returned to the door of the room, he turned around and glanced at the still smoking embers in the pavilion.Although her emotions were complicated, she vaguely felt some indescribable laziness.

She had taken a walk in the damp courtyard just now, and the hem of her long skirt was stained with mud. If she had done so before, she would have wanted to change immediately, otherwise she would have panicked and kept thinking about the mud stains on her body.But at the moment she was too lazy to move, stalling and not wanting to bother.

……

The people in the school affairs office are much freer, but Qin Liang has become busy these days.

In the past, school officials mainly did dirty work for the emperor.Later, he worked for Cao Shuang, such as kidnapping the wife of the late emperor, searching for beauties everywhere, directing and acting to report crimes, and then extorting and harassing various families, and so on.

After Qin Liang took office, he began to ban many previous "businesses", so everyone's affairs gradually began to decrease.Of course, Qin Liang will not do the business he did before, which was all petty profit and offending.

The common people of the Great Wei Kingdom were squeezed dry and there was no vitality in the world, but the nobles were quite wealthy, lived an extremely luxurious life, and maintained many domestic talents.After all, the wealth left by the Han Dynasty, such as precious metals, will not disappear in a vacuum. Cao Wei also organized people to rob tombs, and almost all of these things went into the mansions of the princes.Any place that can bring out some profit must be inextricably linked with the powerful noble families. It can be said to be blackmailing one person and offending a group of people.

However, the school office still has some serious business to maintain operations.For example, undercover agents are arranged in the residences of ministers such as the Chinese Foreign Army and Sima Yi's Mansion, but they should be of little use.It is estimated that Sima Yi and others already knew who was the undercover agent of the school affairs office.

The strangest thing is that only General Cao Shuang's mansion does not have an undercover agent for school affairs.Obviously, even if Sima Yi wanted to deploy an undercover agent, he would not use people from the school affairs office, but would use his own servants and other private individuals.

In fact, Cao Shuang should do the same thing. If he has to find someone by himself, there is no need to rely on the people in the school affairs office... Because although Cao Shuang is very powerful, he has not reached the point of controlling the court with one hand, so the school affairs office is controlled by various families. It's as permeable as a sieve, and it's so organized that nothing can be done.At that time, when Qin Liang was lobbying Cao Shuang to kill Yin Mo, he had already made suggestions, but I don't know if Cao Shuang listened.

Cao Shuang really looked like a master.He was very active in coveting the beauties left by the late emperor and recruiting beautiful women from the people; Qin Liang suggested that he accumulate some reputation, pay attention to his influence, and find someone to help him take the blame. Isn't it also for his own good?No matter how hard you try, it may not be useful.

The school officials have less things to do for the time being, but Qin Liang is very busy.There are some things that really don't work for him, so he has to do it himself.

For example, if you want to discuss business with Tingwei Gao Rou, a third-grade officer, and send a small school official there, no one will be able to see him.Qin Liang went to discuss the issue of business sharing.

The laws of the Great Wei Kingdom are very weak for the powerful nobles. Most of them who commit crimes can pay money to the Tingwei Mansion and then be released!Prices are clearly marked, and the price of various crimes is clear at a glance.Of course, there are also some sins that are too important and money is not easy to use.

Qin Liang has recently restrained his men from extortion, but school officials will still receive some reports.For ordinary reports, Qin Liang is going to inform the Tingwei Mansion and let the Tingwei come forward to punish the crime openly; because the school affairs office does not actually have judicial power within the bureaucracy system, those who did such nonsense in the past, such as ransacking homes and searching people, are all in the final analysis. Illegal, but with the support of the emperor, you can claim to punish it by decree.

But Gao Rou can't be in vain, Qin Liang went to him to negotiate a share.Ting Wei received the atonement money from the report information provided by the school affairs office, so of course he should give a share.Gao Rou is very willing to see that the activities of the school affairs office are also included in the Wei government system. He has agreed to divide the money, and the difference is only how to divide it.

When discussing business, Gao Rou mentioned something, saying that the Queen Mother sent a message asking Qin Liang to attend the court meeting on the first day of October.

Queen Mother Guo?Qin Liang didn't know why Queen Mother Guo knew his name. It was probably because of getting rid of Yin Mo?

But the Empress Dowager Guo seemed to have no sense of existence. During the few years Qin Liang had been in Wei, almost all the major events he knew were arranged by Cao Shuang and Sima Yi.If Gao Rou hadn't mentioned it, Qin Liang wouldn't have thought of Queen Mother Guo's connections.

Emperor Cao Fang is not the biological son of Queen Mother Guo, but this is not the most important thing.The important thing is that the governors of the four directions and the powerful ministers in the court are too strong, and can only be suppressed when Cao Pi and Cao Rui are in power; in addition, the Queen Mother Guo seems to not like to take care of things, otherwise she would still have a lot of power. After all, the Queen Mother Guo represents the royal family, and the world is still There are many people loyal to the Cao family, and those people should be willing to listen to Queen Mother Guo's call.

Qin Liang didn't care so much. Since Queen Mother Guo thought highly of him, she would try it first before deciding if it was useful.

Even if Empress Dowager Guo doesn't care much about government affairs, if she opens her mouth and wants the public to reward someone for their merits, such as a small prefect or a miscellaneous general, how big a problem would that be?Qin Liang immediately paid attention to it and was busy preparing a gift for Queen Mother Guo.

On the first day of October, there was only more than half a month left. Qin Liang was busy every day preparing things for the Queen Mother.When Qin Liang finds an opportunity to express his needs tactfully, the kind Queen Mother will most likely speak for Qin Liang.
