Chapter 53 Resignation
Grandpa Ling didn’t like what he heard, and wanted to defend his granddaughter. My granddaughter is just a little bolder, a little more arrogant, and a little eccentric...
That's all, why do you say she is sick? Just at this moment, Jinan answered: "My brother is indeed sick. She has been weak and sick since she was a child, so she lives with grandpa in her hometown."
His answer made Grandpa Ling so angry that he blew his beard and glared, but Gu Changxiao just laughed.
He smiled, and Grandpa Ling hurriedly whispered: "Sui Sui must be too scared, so she bluffed and did these ridiculous things. Chang Xiao, please don't blame her."
Gu Changxiao said hurriedly: "She risked her life to save me and led the enemy. Even if she used my identity, she had no choice. How could I blame her! But, before she does something more absurd and unbelievable, we must rush to Yanzhou."
Grandpa Ling agrees with this! If the things that stinky girl did in Yanzhou were to be exposed, ten heads would not be enough to chop off!
Only Jin An didn't understand, and whispered to Gu Changxiao: "How majestic is the King of Li Da Wuxian!
When Brother Gu passes away, my brother will return the title to you. How great!
Why don’t you like it?”
Gu Changxiao's mouth twitched. He touched Jin'an's head and thought for a long time, but still couldn't think of how to answer the child.
What the three of them didn't know was that the title of the King of Infinite Li had not only spread throughout the north, but had also spread to Chang'an thanks to the efforts of some people with ulterior motives.
"My father, the King of Li first assaulted an official of the imperial court in Huaizhou, and then led his troops to besiege Yanzhou. Now he calls himself the 'King of Li Da Wuxian'.
This is clearly a sign of dissatisfaction with the emperor! Please issue an order to severely punish him!"
Prince Yu spoke righteously, but he did not mention the reasons why Prince Li attacked Jiang Nansheng and surrounded Yanzhou.
Prince Yu was happy to see Prince Li do these things. The more he jumped around, the more disappointed the emperor would be, and the faster he would die.
Unfortunately, how come Huo Zian and his group failed to kill him on the way? Now even Huo Zian has lost contact, and whether Jiang Nansheng betrayed him and secretly surrendered to the King of Li remains to be verified.
At this moment, an official came forward and said urgently, "Your Majesty, please issue an order to let the King of Li present the prescription."
"The plague is still spreading in Luo City, and the Imperial Hospital has not yet developed a special medicine. Only a small team sent by the King of Li has a special medicine."
"One dose is effective, three doses are enough to cure the disease. Unfortunately, the medicine is too little, and the Imperial Hospital has taken some, but they haven't figured out what the prescription is."
Prince Yu hurriedly said, "One thing is one thing. Even if Prince Li has a prescription, he should present it to the court on his own initiative instead of waiting for my father to invite him."
"He has committed many serious crimes since leaving Chang'an. He must be severely punished!"
No official responded to this. The emperor was rubbing his temple. Everyone knew that Prince Yu wanted to kill Prince Li! The officials' attitude was that we had no right to interfere with the fight for power among the royal family, but we must get the special prescription for curing the plague! If the plague in Luocheng spread to Chang'an, many people would die.
The emperor was both happy and annoyed when he saw that Prince Yu was not as recognized by officials as Prince Li.
The good news is that this way it will be very difficult for Prince Yu to form a faction to divide his power.
What’s annoying is that I have already driven the King of Li to the border, but you still keep talking about him all the time and won’t let go.
He raised his hand and said, "Alright, there is no need to mention the ridiculous things that King Li did in the court.
After I verify the facts, I will issue an order to punish him."
"The most important thing right now is the plague in Luo City. Since King Li has a prescription, let's order him to present it."
Jin Sui had no idea that her impulsive decision to create a private seal of the 'Unlimited King of Evil' would break Gu Changxiao's defense.
She also didn't know that the life-saving medicine she left for Hao Duojin and others became the only hope of curing the plague.
She really wanted to keep a low profile at the border, and as soon as Gu Changxiao arrived, they would change their accounts and restart, each starting a new life.
But the trouble is, it won’t look for you unless you look for it.
The first troublesome thing was his own worry. Jinsui was waiting for Han Xing and Cheng Yu to buy supplies from various cities.
He was also waiting for the food to be sent by Yan Jiulang, and at the same time he went to check on the potatoes, tomatoes, and sweet potatoes every day.
Huo Zian was recuperating from his injuries, Wei Zhubo and his men opened a restaurant, and a group of soldiers dug river mud. The entire border no longer felt desolate, but became bustling.
Everything was going in the right direction, but she ended up suffering from insomnia at night because as soon as she closed her eyes.
She saw Jiang's face before she died, her pale face, and suddenly opened her eyes wide, and asked angrily: "Why haven't you cleared your father's name yet?"
Jinsui woke up suddenly, not caring whether the dream was his own heart disease or Jiang's resentment in the netherworld.
She is already a little angry, so you should just send her a dream. You should also care about Jinan and Grandpa!
Is it something I can accomplish now to clear Ling's father's name? Even if I can't, I have to make a start, otherwise Jiang in her netherworld will think she has forgotten it.
First ask Wei Zhubo:
"Are you still in contact with the officials in Chang'an? Many people are implicated in my case. I want to take a closer look. Do you have any way to get the files?"
Wei Zhubo wanted to say, "I am only an eighth-rank official, and I was sent to the border. Your Majesty, how capable do you think I am? " He resisted the urge to complain, and laughed dryly, "Even a third-rank official cannot read your files."
Jin Sui nodded: "Okay, then have someone compile a list of how many people were killed, exiled, or demoted because of this case.
I'll give you 100 taels of funding and let Chang'an investigate quietly."
This is not difficult, but Wei Zhubo is puzzled: "Why is the prince suddenly concerned about the old case? Could it be that the prince wants to return to Chang'an?"
Jin Sui pretended to be deep and sighed sadly: "No, I just want to see how many people are implicated by me, so that I can go to the riverside to offer sacrifices next year on Qingming Festival."
Wei Zhubo was moved and said, "Your Majesty is really loyal to his subordinates. Don't worry, I will find out everything."
Then he asked Huo Zian: "Hey, how much do you know about my case?"
Huo Zian looked at her with fear in his eyes, all his previous arrogance gone.
As expected, a bad guy needs to be dealt with by another bad guy. If you are more ruthless than an assassin, the assassin will have to obey you.
"I am only a seventh-rank imperial guard in the Duwei Mansion. I am not familiar with the case of the prince."
Jin Sui took out a pen and paper and said, "Write as much as you know. If you finish, I will reward you."
Just when I was considering whether to go to Yanzhou City to find Li Heng to inquire, Hei Hu suddenly reported:
"Your Majesty, Brother Han is back and has something urgent to discuss with you."
Jin Sui hurried over, fearing that the Black Feather Camp was in another state and was being bullied.
Han Xing was sweating and looked anxious. He took out a letter from his arms: "Your Majesty, this is from Cheng Zhubo."
Jin Sui took it and looked at it, only to see "resignation" written on it.
I quickly opened it. The letter was very short, saying that he was resigning from the position of chief clerk due to personal matters.
The key point is that whatever he does has nothing to do with Border Town or King Li.
Below is his private seal Cheng Yu.
Jin Sui asked Wei Zhubo in confusion: "You officials, can you resign so easily like this?"
Wei Zhubo slapped his thigh anxiously and said, "Of course not! Even if you are an eighth-rank official, your resignation still needs approval from the Ministry of Personnel."
"Your Majesty, Cheng Yu must have encountered some emergency. You can't just ignore him!"
Even though Chief Clerk Wei and Chief Clerk Cheng usually argue with each other.
One thinks the other is hypocritical, and the other thinks the other is a drunkard.
But as Jinsui said before, everyone is in the border town, and they cannot survive without unity.
