Chapter 122 What Song Xiuyue doesn't want, I don't want either
When Qi Chengen heard Xu Yuan's words, his eyes lit up slightly, but after he finished listening to Xu Yuan, a hint of mockery appeared in his eyes.
However, that look came quickly and went away even faster.
Qi Chengen said: "You are smart, and you are half right, but not all. However, for you now, it is already very good. It is difficult to distinguish what is right and what is wrong."
Xuyuan didn't respond.
She didn't know why Qi Chengen deliberately revealed this to her, and she didn't know what Qi Chengen was thinking now.
She shouldn't have been able to interfere in court affairs.
After a long while, Qi Chengen asked again: "If you were me, how would you decide this matter in my position?"
"I know very little, so my words may be outrageous. Prime Minister, just treat it as a joke."
Xu Yuan raised his eyes, looked at Qi Chengen, and slowly said: "In my opinion, General Xie has merits, but also faults. He won against Geshu, but his supervision was not good. Whether these merits and faults can offset each other should also be considered in terms of how to deal with the magistrate of Sishui County."
Hearing this, Qi Chengen raised his eyebrows and said, "Go on."
"If the Prime Minister feels it is difficult to make a decision and is unsure whether to transfer General Xie back to the capital, he might as well wait a little longer until the matter of Wei Chenggong is fully investigated, and then decide on Xie Xiaocheng's merits and demerits, or... the matter can be left unresolved."
Qi Chengen smiled, "Are you trying to find a way to urge the court to solve the case in Sishui County?"
The intention of making a wish is obvious.
Qi Chengen heard it, but Xu Yuan also gave him an unexpected surprise, that is, Xie Xiaocheng was also responsible for "failure to supervise properly".
Everyone in the court is now talking about how to reward Xie Xiaocheng.
However, no one mentioned the fact that the magistrate of Sishui County used war to support war.
Because the court didn’t know.
But now he knows.
As long as the Dali Temple takes over this case, the focus of discussion at tomorrow morning's court will no longer be on how to reward Xie Xiaocheng, but on how to determine Xie Xiaocheng's guilt.
Perhaps, he could really use this incident to keep Xie Xiaocheng in Sishui County forever.
However, the prerequisite for this matter is that the Dali Temple takes over the case.
"A thorough investigation of the magistrate of Sishui County is what we should do. I dare not urge him to do so. It's just that I think this matter may help the Prime Minister solve his urgent problem."
Xu Yuan lowered his eyes slightly, and his voice was neither humble nor arrogant.
Hearing Xu Yuan's words, Qi Chengen smiled and said, "You are making such a suggestion today. Aren't you afraid that Xie Xiaocheng will cause trouble for you when he returns to the capital in the future?"
Xu Yuan slowly raised his eyes, looked at Qi Chengen and said: "Whether General Xie rewards or punishes is not for me to decide. If General Xie uses this as an excuse to cause trouble, it will be unjustified."
"It makes sense."
Qi Chengen stood up, stood with his hands behind his back, looked out the window, and spoke again: "Where is Zhang Yue? How should we reward him?"
Speaking of Zhang Yue, Xu Yuan hesitated for a moment, but still said, "He is still inexperienced and needs to be tempered. He is not qualified to be a garrison commander, let alone replace General Xie."
"Hahahaha, you are really funny, little friend."
Qi Chengen turned around, looked at Xu Yuan, and spoke again: "When dealing with your brother, you know that too much is as bad as too little, why don't I see any of that when it comes to you?"
Qi Chengen has been in officialdom for many years and has met many people.
There are young talents and there are old people in high school.
Making a wish is the most special one.
He is young and has a quick mind. Even if he tries to hide his edge, people can still sense his sharpness.
She was like a bamboo shoot breaking through the soil, eager to prove herself.
But she was extremely cautious towards her brother.
Qi Chengen didn't even know whether Xu Yuan was a man with more merits than flaws, or whether everything he saw was just an act.
He can only allow himself to soar high and cannot bear to see others succeed.
Even if it's your own brother.
Hearing Qi Chengen's words, Xu Yuan bowed slightly and said, "I will definitely remember the Prime Minister's teachings."
Upon hearing this, Qi Chengen also chuckled and said nothing more.
The silence didn't last long. The servant outside knocked on the door and said, "Master, the Dali Temple Minister is here."
Qi Chengen said, "I understand."
After Qi Chengen finished speaking, he continued, "Young Master Xu, have lunch before you leave. I'll let Xin'er take you back later. As for what I said before, it still holds true. The assessment for Wenhua Palace will be at the end of this month. If you're interested, just come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find Xin'er."
"Yes."
Xu Yuan clasped his fists, stood up and walked out.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Qi Shengxin hurriedly coming with the Dali Temple Chief Justice in red official uniform.
She turned slightly sideways, waited until the two people passed by, and then closed the study door.
She had planned to wait outside, but before she found a suitable place to stand, she heard a voice in the distance.
"Master Xu."
Xu Yuan raised his head, looked in the direction of the voice, and said politely: "Miss Qi."
Qi Shengzhu walked over until he was in front of Xu Yuan, then he said, "Master Xu, have you finished talking to my father?"
Xu Yuan nodded and said, "I haven't thanked Miss Qi yet."
Knowing that Xu Yuan was talking about going to the "Wenhua Palace", Qi Shengzhu smiled and said, "My father appreciates talented people the most. Mr. Xu, you don't have to thank me. If it weren't for your talent, my father wouldn't have made this plan."
After Qi Shengzhu finished speaking, he said, "The kitchen has prepared the banquet, please move over, Mr. Xu."
"no need."
Xu Yuan shook his head. "It was just something I did for a living. I don't deserve such a thank you from Miss Qi. If Miss Qi really wants to thank me, why not ask a servant to take me out of the house?"
Qi Shengzhu looked at Xu Yuan for a long time, then she smiled and said, "In that case, Diaoyun, send Master Xu away."
"Yes."
Behind Qi Shengzhu, Diao Yun said impatiently, "Master Xu, please follow me."
"It's troublesome."
After making the wish, he followed Diaoyun's steps.
After watching Xu Yuan leave, Qi Shengzhu withdrew his gaze and said slowly, "This kid, please don't let me down."
At the side, the maid Hua Yu couldn't help but ask: "Miss, are you really attracted to him? He only looks good. In my opinion, he is not as good as Mr. Shen."
Mr. Shen is naturally Shen Yichuan.
After hearing Huayu's words, Qi Shengzhu smiled slowly and said, "Huayu, do you know why I chose him among so many people?"
Hua Yu thought for a moment and said, "Is he good friends with Master Shen?"
"Of course not. I chose him because he is a poor student with great potential. If he can pass the national exam, he will have a bright future with the support of his family. If he has no virtue or talent, we will have to wait until next year to find out. Then I will tell my father that I was blind. It is better than being a concubine to the crown prince or the third prince."
Qi Shengzhu clasped his hands together and spoke in a colder tone.
"However, he is indeed a bit surprising. In recent years, few people have been appreciated by Daddy so much."
Hearing Qi Shengzhu's words, Hua Yu frowned slightly and disagreed: "Miss, I heard that the Song family girl is a concubine who was raised in the countryside. Why don't you fight for the third prince's wife?"
"How can I be interested in a prince whose daughter even the Song family is reluctant to marry?" Qi Shengzhu's tone gradually turned cold. "If Song Xiuyue doesn't want one, then I don't want one either."
