Chapter 182 Hitting the Iron Plate
The county magistrate used to follow a university scholar who instigated the Prince of Yan to seize the throne. He finally gained enough experience in the Hanlin Academy to attend court, but he was the one who got the most attention. His joy soon turned to tragedy.
He went from being a Beijing official with a bright future to a local official who has served as magistrate in Qingyuan County for several years.
Who made him have such mediocre political achievements and no connections, so he never got a chance to be promoted?
In addition, Rong Jinchen's facial features have not changed much, he has just grown older and his contours have become clearer and deeper.
The county magistrate cried his heart out. How did he end up meeting this little bully? No, this killer god!
His former superior, the Grand Secretary, was beaten and demoted, let alone him?
Just now, his son actually called His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan a gigolo! He even wanted His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan's woman to be his wife!
After realizing what was happening, the county magistrate looked ashen, his lips were so pale that they were about to bleed from biting, and he was trembling and didn't dare to get up.
When the servant, the captain of the police, and the legal advisor saw their county magistrate suddenly sitting on the ground, they thought he had slipped and lost his balance, and were afraid that the humiliated county magistrate would hold them accountable later.
He hurriedly helped him up and said sarcastically, "Are you okay, sir? It's all because the road is too slippery. Fill it up when you have time!" "Yes, yes, it's all because the road is ignorant."
The county magistrate didn't even have the strength to kick the servant. He simply changed his sitting position to kneeling, and said in a voice as if he had lost his parents, "This humble official pays respect to His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan!"
Everyone looked at the county magistrate who had done evil things in Qingyuan County in the past, and saw him kneeling so humbly in front of that pretty boy. The words "Your Highness the Prince of Yan" suddenly filled their ears.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan." They had never seen such a high-ranking official in their lives! Prince! He also knelt down.
The squinty-eyed man was also frightened at this moment. He didn't expect that he had actually kicked a piece of iron board!
Still the toughest one! You know, if it comes to competing with his father, how could he possibly compete with His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan! His father is just a county magistrate, while his biological father is the emperor!
It's over, it's over. His narrowed eyes were filled with despair and fear. What had he just said? He fell to the ground in the same position as the county magistrate.
There was a heavy muffled thud as he hit the ground, but this time no one helped him up.
Su Zhenzhen looked at the girl who had been kneeling on the ground with sharp eyes. A hint of ecstasy flashed in her eyes, but her face was calm and she even wanted to laugh.
Why does she think that an ordinary woman can marry into the prince's high position?
Rong Jinchen had a good memory and he knew that this was one of the subordinates of the Grand Secretary who had tried to instigate him to seize the throne.
His phoenix eyes lightly swept over the county magistrate who was kneeling on the ground and dared not look up, "Why? After so many years, Lord Chen still remembers me?" His voice was very calm, but it revealed an oppressive feeling of impending storm.
Lord Chen forced a smile with difficulty, "His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan is so handsome and graceful that he is certainly unforgettable." Rong Jinchen and the others said calmly, "No need for formalities." Only then did the people around dare to stand up, but now they did not dare to show the excited expression they had just had when they were eating melons.
The Chen family father and son, as well as those who had just offended His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan, did not dare to stand up and just knelt on the ground.
Sure enough, His Royal Highness Prince Yan asked in a very cold tone: "Lord Chen, just now your son said that my princess is his future wife, and that I am a gigolo." Lord Chen wanted to die, why did he hit a wall?
"Your Highness Prince of Yan, it was all my fault that I spoiled him. I will break his legs right now!" As he said this, he was about to stand up and personally give an explanation to His Highness Prince of Yan and Princess Yan.
Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Gu Cheng, "Sir Chen, you don't think that you can get away with offending His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan and His Royal Highness the Princess so easily, do you?" His movements were casual and angry.
Are His Highness and the Princess also worthy of their desires?
Mimiyan was already crying with fear when he heard his father wanted to break his legs. Listening to Gu Cheng's words, he felt like he was going to hell in the next moment!
Rong Jinchen then said directly to Gu Cheng: "Where are the Jinyiwei?" Why didn't he believe it?
The Jinyiwei who was in charge of surveying the land seemed to have forgotten his job and actually allowed such officials who exploited the people and committed evil to run rampant in the local area.
Gu Heng had already called the Jinyiwei by this time. The two or three Jinyiwei were like mice seeing a cat, and did not dare to look directly into the eyes of His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan.
"Your humble servant pays respects to His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan." They were in trouble.
It was all the fault of this county magistrate. He had set a trap for them. Once they were caught, he had promised them gold, silver, and jewelry, so that they were under his control.
Not everyone can resist temptation.
Besides, the monthly salary of the Jinyiwei was not very high, so it was naturally not as fast as making money through corruption and bribery.
This is also the reason why Rong Jinchen is going to lead another team of Jinyiwei out of the capital for inspection.
When Lord Chen saw that the Jinyiwei had been called in, his heart finally gave up. "Your Highness Prince Yan, I am willing to surrender myself. Please be merciful and spare the life of my son!" He was finished.
Rong Jinchen suddenly sneered and looked at Su Zhenzhen, "Qingqing, go to the inn and wait for me." He wanted to investigate Qingyuan County carefully.
Seeing that he was very angry, Su Zhenzhen blinked her eyes and nodded obediently, "Okay, my husband, don't get yourself sick from being angry." Otherwise, she would be heartbroken.
As for other people, what does it have to do with her?
Anyway, her husband would never wrongly accuse a good person.
Besides, there are indeed problems with the Jinyiwei here, and the land survey work needs to be thoroughly investigated.
She didn't give any other look to the woman who sold herself to bury her father. At this level, tsk.
April 12th.
Your Majesty's imperial edict was sent to various places along the Yellow River through post officials, and the court conscripted 50,000 men to perform labor service to control the Yellow River.
East Palace.
After some discussion, the prince's official looked at the prince who was sitting silently at the head of the study. He opened his mouth, then looked at the prince's tutor and the Minister of Personnel beside him. Seeing their confused expressions, he had to shut his mouth.
After a long time, the Prince's Junior Tutor said: "Your Highness, His Majesty still favors you! His Majesty did not agree with the plan of Prince Jin's party. His Majesty used the word "checks and balances". The only way now is to endure." To put it bluntly, His Majesty is already fifty-one years old. Has any emperor in ancient times lived to a very old age?
Crown Prince Rong Jinyou's Adam's apple rolled, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, "I know, but father..." He is no longer a father to him. The relationship between them is more of a monarch and a subject than a father and a son.
Sometimes he envied Achen. Although he could not succeed to the throne, he received his father's wholehearted love.
Unlike him, being a prince is a bit boring.
Unfortunately, he has witnessed too many bloody political struggles along the way, and he cannot stop. Even for the people he cares about, he cannot stop.
Sometimes he even wondered if his life would be easier if Achen became the crown prince?
After all, they are brothers from the same mother.
But he also knew that Achen had no intention of taking the throne, but Rong Jinyou was also a human being and had a fragile side.
What's even sadder is that he doesn't even have a close friend, and the Crown Princess doesn't share everything with him.
Returning to reality, Crown Prince Rong Jinyou discussed matters with the East Palace staff again.
