Gao Shen said calmly: "I see that the report contains a disposal plan that will be proposed by the Sichuan-Shaanxi Military Commissioner. How to deal with it specifically? Let's wait a few more days and we will discuss it after Li Yanqing's report is sent."

Fan Zhixu waved his hand, "Li Yanqing's handling can only be considered the opinions of the local government. As the central court, we also need to come up with our own plans. At that time, the two plans seek common ground while reserving differences. If there are conflicts, the officials will decide, or the court will decide, or if everyone sits down to negotiate, there are many ways. In short, we must take care of all interests."

Everyone expressed that as the supreme authority of the court, Zhizhengtang had the responsibility to propose a package of solutions to serve as the attitude of the court.

Gao Shen had no choice but to agree with Fan Zhixu's suggestion.

In the imperial study room, Zhao Gou listened to the report of Fan Zhixu and Lu Yihao, and carefully looked at a disposal proposal they drafted. He pondered for a moment: "It is better to be mature than to be born in Chengdu Prefecture. The new magistrate has agreed to Li Yanqing's suggestion and promoted to former Tongzong Xu Qinghui to the new magistrate. I am planning to notify Zhengtang in the next two days."

Lu Yihao said anxiously: "Zeng Xiulin committed such a great crime. As a verdict, how could Xu Qingwei be innocent? Even if he and Zeng Xiulin have nothing to do with him, at least they should wait until the investigation is clear before appointing him. In this hasty appointment, the ministers in the court are worried that the ministers in the court will not accept it."

Fan Zhixu sighed secretly. The official family was indeed a little impatient, but he could understand that the Supreme Emperor had intervened in the deployment. If the new magistrate was not settled in time and recommended by the Supreme Emperor in advance, the official family might not be able to refuse.

However, appointing Xu Qinghui is indeed inappropriate, and it is easy to be caught by the Supreme Emperor. In this matter, Fan Zhixu was also willing to help the emperor, so he bowed and said, "Your Majesty, although Chengdu is more familiar than life, Lu Xianggong does make sense. No matter how innocent and self-disciplined Xu Qinghui is, he also has his faults that he does not report it. In this case, he will maintain his original position at most and let him continue to serve as the magistrate of the Tongzong, and not be promoted with illness. Wei Chen recommended that the young minister of Lin'an Prefecture Wei Guan be appointed as the prefect of Chengdu. This person is very capable, upright and strict, and is especially good at dealing with chaos."

Zhao Gou was indeed worried that his father would leave the appointment power of the prefect of Chengdu. If his father spoke, he could not refuse. Li Yanqing recommended Xu Qinghui. Obviously Xu Qinghui was more reliable, but Fan Zhixu made a point. Using Xu Qinghui as a prefect is a promotion due to illness. His father would use this excuse to suppress him. Wei Wen was also Li Yanqing's person. It was more appropriate to let him become the prefect of Chengdu, and his father had nothing to say.

Zhao Gou pondered for a moment and accepted Fan Zhixu's suggestion, "He appointed Wei Shaoyin as the prefect of Chengdu, and it will take effect immediately. He rushed to Chengdu early tomorrow morning to take office. Xu Qinghui continued to serve as the chief judge of Chengdu, but he was successful in helping solve the Zeng Xiulin case and could advance to a higher level."

"I obey the order, Your Majesty, and there is also the stolen silver."

Before Lu Yihao finished speaking, Zhao Gou waved his hand and interrupted him, "About Zeng Xiulin's disposal of stolen silver, we will discuss it after Li Jingluo's report arrives."

Fan Zhixu and Lu Yihao had a soft nail and had to retreat. Zhao Gou was walking back and forth in the imperial study alone, feeling really uneasy. He knew that his father would definitely ask him for the position of prefect, so how should he refuse?

However, what Zhao Gou didn't expect was that his father did not look for him, and there was no news. Just as nothing happened. Zhao Gou also thought, was it because his father lived by the West Lake and didn't understand the situation here?

But he immediately denied his stupid thoughts. How could it be? His father wanted to ascend the throne again at any time. How could he not understand the situation here?

Someone will inform his father as quickly as possible. Who will this person be?

In the afternoon, a ox cart slowly stopped in the Royal Villa at the foot of Xizhao Mountain, and immediately a guard came up. This was the place where the emperor rested. Within a radius of five miles, people could not wait to enter. Of course, the ox cart could drive to the villa, so it must have obtained permission from the periphery, so the guard did not scold him, but went forward and waited quietly. The door of the car opened and Qin Hui came out of the carriage.

"So it's Shangshu Qin, are you here to meet the Supreme Emperor?"

Qin Hui nodded. This was not the first time he had been here. He also believed that many ministers had also been here. It was not that he did not want to be loyal to the officials, but the officials ascended the throne for too short and had not yet had enough time to establish his own team. Almost all ministers in the court were old ministers of the Supreme Emperor, and more importantly, the throne of the officials was not stable.

Qin Hui knew very well that the ascension of the official family was indeed unjust and unfair. For an emperor, this was a fatal weakness. To a certain extent, the Supreme Emperor could indeed abolish him at any time. The reason why the Supreme Emperor did not take action was that he was still waiting for the opportunity and needed to get enough loyalty to him.

Qin Hui had to consider his future. Although he felt a little guilty towards the official family, he came without hesitation. It would be better to come early than to come late.

At this time, Qin Hui glanced at a passenger ship parked on the pier and asked, "Whose ship is that?"

"Is that Huang Shangshu's ship?"

Qin Hui was stunned. Is Huang Qianshan also here?

"Shangshu Huang is meeting the Supreme Emperor?" Qin Hui asked.

The guard nodded, "He came half an hour ago, now he came out."

When Qin Hui turned around, he saw Huang Qianshan walking out of the other courtyard, with an uncontrollable look of pride on his face.

'So Huang Qianshan also defected to the Supreme Emperor!' Qin Hui thought to himself.

At this time, Huang Qianshan also saw Qin Hui, and both of them showed a hint of embarrassment. Huang Qianshan hurriedly smiled and said, "Haha! It turns out that Qin Shangshu is also here to visit the condition of the Supreme Emperor."

"Yes! I heard that the Supreme Emperor was sick, so of course we ministers should care about it."

"It's right. We should care about the Supreme Emperor and the Secretary of Qin. I have something to do, so I'll say goodbye first."

Huang Qianshan nodded and hurriedly left. Qin Hui looked at his figure and got on the boat. Then he sorted out his clothes and followed the guards to the other courtyard.

These days, the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji has released a rumor saying that he is sick and sick. As a result, there are endless ministers coming to visit him. It is not yet noon, and six ministers have already arrived.

Of course, the first one to come was Emperor Zhao Gou. At that time, Zhao Ji was lying on the sickbed, with a pale face, breathless and weak in speaking, and was very old. He looked really sick.

But now Zhao Ji is like this. He is wearing a Zen suit, a black gauze hat, and a rosy face. He is enthusiastically admiring the calligraphy and paintings of famous masters sent by Huang Qianshan. He used to like these calligraphy and paintings very much, but now he prefers the feeling of ministers filial to him, which shows that he has not been forgotten and his imperial power is still alive in the hearts of many ministers. When necessary, he will call on imperial power to make them break out of the cocoon in the hearts of everyone.

He now likes powerful ministers better than calligraphers and painters.

"Your Majesty the Supreme Emperor, the Secretary of Qin is here to meet you!" A eunuch whispered at the door.

"No! Invite him in."

Zhao Ji needed to win over all those who would help him in his reset, even eunuchs and guards.

After a moment, Qin Hui quickly walked into the study and bowed, "I'm going to see His Majesty the Supreme Emperor!"

Zhao Ji smiled and said, "You don't have to be polite, Secretary Qin please sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

A palace maid brought an embroidery pier, Qin Hui sat down and asked with concern: "I heard that His Majesty the Supreme Emperor is sick, and I am very concerned about it. I wonder if my condition is getting better now?"

"With you ministers who are loyal to the emperor and the people, my condition has improved a lot. I no longer have to lie on the bed. I just have a little bit of nasal congestion and nothing else."

"It is a blessing for the court and the people to take care of the dragon body."

Zhao Ji nodded and asked again: "What is Qin Shangshu busy with recently?"

"There are no big things, they are all tedious and small things."

"The Ministry of Rites is very important. The Minister of Qin is in charge of the Ministry of Rites. It is also a talent for the Prime Minister. If I remember correctly, I should have ordered the top scholar of the Secretary of Qin back then!"

"This is the fifth year of Zhenghe. I have always kept the intention of Your Majesty's support in my heart."

Zhao Ji laughed, "I could see back then that you were not a person in the pool, so I ordered you to be the top scholar. Now I have only been ten years old, and you have been promoted to the Minister of Rites. I did not misunderstand that year!"

"Your Majesty is wise and powerful, no one can match!"

Qin Hui and Zhao Ji were imprisoned in Yanshan Palace together. They had seen Zhao Ji catching ants in the yard. On the other hand, they were also friends in distress.

However, Zhao Ji did not seem to want to mention that past. He looked at Qin Hui and said lightly: "Assist the official family and serve the Song Dynasty, you will have a greater future."

"Thank you for your concern, I will devote all my efforts to the Song Dynasty and die."

Qin Hui hesitated and said, "The official family is preparing to let the Wei minister inspect the third northwest route. Does His Majesty have any explanation?"

Zhao Ji was excited and hurriedly said, "When will we set off?"

"Depart early the morning after tomorrow and you have to pass through Chengdu Prefecture."

"I don't care about Chengdu Prefecture anymore. I care more about Jingzhao Prefecture. You go to Jingzhao Prefecture to do something for me."

"Please give me instructions!"
